I write and age, mostly at the same rate. AttilaTheHun on AO3. Over 18.

A screenshot of a performance shoot. Jimin and Tae are looking at each other sideways, Jimin considering and Tae slightly smug. Jungkook has his arms around them both, head resting between their shoulders, pursing his lips obliviously. Namjoon stands to the side with his arms crossed, looking at them all in concern / suspicion.
Screenshot of Jimin dressed in a white t-shirt saying “It’s BTS, frankly.”
Jung Hoseok delicately pouring a cup of tea with his fingers ever-so-gently pressed against lid of the teapot
Hoseok on stage in all black with sunglasses holding his arms wide. There’s a giant projection of himself behind him and backup dancers holding screens up like they’re filing him.
“Brother,” said Chansey. “What troubles?” Sterling attempted to convey without movement that he was displeased. “Brother, do you remember the shed?” said Sterling. Chansey sniffed curiously. “Of course. We all remember from whence we came. The shed was the world.” Sterling nodded, as one does to a correct answer. The shed had been large, unwieldy, and full of treasure, yet also strangely empty in the space of the world. Sterling had learned of the world since.

Hoseok standing in a desert canyon wearing a white tank top, a white overshirt, cutoff jean shorts, and impractical tan boots. He’s posing like the canyon is for sale as well as himself

Yoongi takes a deep breath, pouring his will into the future, and drags the bone along Taehyung’s spine. The fox shivers and barks, then spins in a circle. I think it’s- he starts, and a sound like a small thunderclap blows Yoongi backwards. He lands on his ass, yelping, and checks the pattern for damage. The green-gold shine of Namjoon shields them, and only has a second to be annoyed that his tree is smarter than him before a large figure appears in his view. “I think it worked,” says a resonant baritone, and Yoongi looks up at the very large, very naked man looming over him. “Do I look human?”
I stay straight, I stay bad I keep my finger on the trigger! I’m so bad, my hoes bad If I get drunk might have to ring her! She pick up, then we fuck I get so gay off that tequila! I need some dick for Tuesday Let me go put out some feelers! Crank it!

I see you creepin’ yeah I see you from the sideline I saw you in the corner Me, my man don’t really mind I left you dead in the club, I left it for the night You’re looking for him but he’s something that you’ll never find
I loved you more than anything And yes I made mistakes But you know I would do anything to put a smile on your face To make our home a nicer place Was it really for me when you left me all alone at the gas station?
He’s kinda sexy and mysterious ‘bout it Heart eyes, all my judgement is clouded I’m in your city can you show me around it? You can put your money right where my mouth is Oh, it’s on I heard he loves a blonde I want him on and on and on Say now, before I’m gone ‘Cause baby this is do or die
I think about you You don’t think about me So pretentious, looking down at my St. Loser misery I think about me I shouldn’t be such a hater If kids are bumping my shit, that’s a recession indicator I think about me I got my eyes on the trophy I think these bitches write me off, but they don’t even know me
Hoseok answering an interview question while Jungkook’s face slides in from the edge of the shot to stare directly at him like he is going to bite his neck
An edited version of the story of Jesus walking on the beach story with Hoseok in a tank over a picture of a beach with footprints in the sand. The edited text says “j-hope replied, “The times when you have seen only one set of fins in the water was when I fingered you.”
You are Yoongi. You are grounded and honest. You process deeply and act when it truly matters.
A photoshop of BTS where they are sitting in suits at a press conference table reminiscent of the pose from The Last Supper. Namjoon, in the middle and the only one looking at camera, has an expression of “what can you do?” on his face
Screenshot of Hoseok looking extremely side eye pissed off at something with the text over it “I chose to stay silent” the face I stayed silent with
Fic Write Q&A Answer as many as you like! 1. do you re-read your own completed fic? if so, which one do you re-read most often? 2. are there any unintended motifs or themes that show up a lot in your writing? how about ones that are intended? 3. have you ever started to ship something after writing it? developed any new kinks after writing them? 4. when (if) you re-read your fic, does it evoke the emotions it's supposed to in you? i.e. are you able to experience it not as the person who wrote it but as you think any other reader might? 5. when you're writing fic, how often/how much do you actually feel what the characters in the scene are feeling? 6. what's the biggest risk you've taken with a fic? 7. is there one (or more!) fic where the process of writing it diverged wildly from your usual method? what was that experience like? 8. what do you think is your comfort zone in fic? the one type of scene/trope/dynamic that you feel confident you can nail every time (you can't say "nothing!") 9. do you figure out worldbuilding stuff like backstories before you start writing or on the fly? 10. do you like to share fic ideas as they come to you or do you keep them close to the vest until they're done? 11. what's usually the first piece of a scene that comes to you? a bit of dialogue? a setting? emotions? sounds? etc 12. Have you ever had to write something you really didn't want to (a scene, conversation, etc) because the story needed it to work? 13. Ever had to cut something you loved out of a fic because it wasn't working?

This is actually a heartwarming story that despite being more than 15 years ago still makes me really happy. So mid-2000s. I worked at a pediatric hospital. Anyone who is in-patient on Christmas day is SICK. There are no scheduled surgeries, everyone who can be safely discharged for a day generally is. It is rough for families who observe. This is when American Idol was THE thing. And a contestant from our city had done well the prior season — hadn’t won, but kind of ‘hometown hero.’ I didn’t watch the show so wasn’t super familiar, but I’d heard about him. We heard he was visiting with his family. Figured that they’d stop in a couple rooms, get some photos/PR, and go on home.
Our safety initiative committee gave us beautiful logo’d mugs, lovely huge ones – that had a shiny gold enamel on the outside. They were neither dishwasher nor microwave safe. About an hour later, they came and took them all back after someone microwaved one and caused major, massive sparking, panicking half a lunch room.
Years ago the floor manager banned crockpots from the work floor where teams would use an empty cubicle for team birthdays and celebrations due to ongoing issues. Fast forward a few months; a team brings in a crockpot for an event. An outraged employee approached me yelling that it wasn’t fair the other team could have crockpots and hers couldn’t. She looked me in the eye and completely seriously told me, ‘This is crockpot discrimination!” (2022)
My dad was a firefighter. They throw wild parties. Not officially Fire Department parties, they just happen to have a raging house party that could rival any fraternity, and invite everyone from work. The story I was told is that at one of these parties, Fireman Bob — who was in a prank war with Fireman Steve — snuck off to Steve’s bedroom and took “boudoir” photos on his bed. He yanked his tighty-whities up between his cheeks and took about a dozen Polaroid photos, leaving them fanned out on Steve’s dresser. Steve said nothing the next shift. Steve never did say anything. He didn’t have to. The next year, Steve gave everyone in the department a photo calendar, featuring Bob’s fancy pictures. (2024)
During a potluck, someone (the office never discovered who!) went to the meeting room where the potluck had to be held and took a single bite out of every biteable thing. Scones, bread, fruits, pizza slices. Just one single bite. (2024)
I was invited to my boss’s house for an employee holiday party. This small business was owned by a married couple who were also landlords, so they were pretty wealthy and had a huge house. I was walking around admiring their art when I came across a statue. A nude statue. A nude statue of my boss. (2021)
Hoseok Killin It Girl Promo picture, black and white. He’s wearing a stretchy sweater, pulled to the side by his hand to bare a collarbone and a lot of bracelets. He looks like he will dom you.
