Couple Of Mirrors Is Also Giving Us An Obligatory Water Scene Lmao

feel my rhythm cured my depression, cured my art block, cleared my skin, made me food, tucked me into bed and told me 'sweet dreams'

it is so funny to me that palamedes and camilla are set up as The Reasonable People in gtn and continue to be viewed though that lens by many other characters throughout the books but every single book just strengthens the hypothesis that they are actually kind of insane. like. they are absolutely unhinged. palamedes made himself a river bubble despite all existing evidence saying it was impossible to do and camilla scraped 96 tiny skull fragments off the floor and glued them together and they shared a physical form for six months and at the end of things they chose mutual destruction rather than confront the possibility of one person continuing to exist without the other. all of these things are backed up with theorems and mathematics but it does not change the fact that they’re not quite the actions of Normal People

Tamsyn Muir gave us the gift that keeps on giving - River Bubble AUs, meaning that technically every single fanfic of TLT is canon, it’s just in a River Bubble.

I'm sick and tired of the lack of stem dark academia vibes in modern literature. Obviously we have Frankenstein, which I love, but I am foaming at the mouth for a book like The Secret History, or Bunny, or Dead Poet Society but stem.

Imagine a murder mystery at a prestigious university, but it's a sleep-deprived physics student who's obsessed with space, an equally as tired chemistry student that's only a ~little~ unhinged and overexcited for orgo lab, and a medicine student who spent an entire week studying anatomy getting together to solve it.

Or, they all suspect each other, though nobody knows that they do, and the actual murderer attempts to sabotage the group effort without being caught.

PE is 5% exorcise and 95% embarrassment 

Harrowhark but she's Blood of Eden and her name is Spooky Scary Skeletons Send Shivers Down Your Spine. Is this anything.

I cannot believe that in all of the years since watching Unsolved and now Ghost Files I've actually become much more of a Shaniac?? Also I cannot watch any other ghost hunting shows because bffr the "evidence" is so fabricated??

Hey love, I did mine here but I need to ask about this "mjjw cherry magic au" because I'm sorry? but that sounds amazing and I need to know more! 😍😂

Oh god yeah my cursed amalgamation of AUs xd

So to any who don't know the (frankly god tier) drama "Cherry Magic", it's a Japanese drama about Adachi who turns 30 while still being a virgin, and magically is able to hear other people's thoughts upon hearing them. Adachi finds out pretty soon that his extremely hot, perfect and charismatic co-worker at his office has got an intense crush on him and after a series of mildly unfortunate events (reference not intended) he slowly ends up falling in love too. 10/10 Very great queer romance.

Anyway, so I kind of headcanon Moonjo as either on the ace spectrum or he is a person who just never really prioritized losing his virginity, not when he was passionate about other things and hadn't found his true masterpiece yet. In this AU, he turns 30 and gets magical ability, which have him a little confused at first, but he soon uses them to his own advantage.

Rather quickly he manipulates his co-workers and bosses by reading their thoughts, achieves what he wants to and ascends to higher positions in the office hierarchy. Not CEO, but he's now got a lot of power over people and the company's decisions.

So, its 5 years later. He's 35, and quite literally stumbles over the new hire, Jongwoo. Upon touching, Moonjo hears heaven's bells a-ringing (jk, he hears Jongwoo bitching about Moonjo walking into him, and he's intrigued). Jongwoo is pretty too, and after "some research" (stalking) he figures out Jongwoo is pretty talented and intelligent as well. And the pursuit continues, but Jongwoo evades him a lot. It's really annoying, bc he always puts too much space between them, and Moonjo can't use his ability to his advantage.

Usually it's not a problem bc people love being around him, handsome face and all. But not Jongwoo. And it makes Moonjo want him even more. He feels like Jongwoo is like him, honest and strong-minded, and that he wants to gain power over others.

So okay, several months later, as they both get off work close to midnight, Moonjo finally manages to do touch Jongwoo (the younger is pretty tired and out-of-it and nearly runs into the street before looking).

And he finds Jongwoo's thoughts to be an odd string of "God that bastard is so fucking handsome I want him to choke me but also I want to punch him in the face because he's so perfect all the time, and also what is it with him grinning all the time and his stupidly pretty eyes, god i HATE HIM"

Also Jieun is his girlfriend but with the same rocky stance, maybe even a little on-and-off. Haven't figured out how to throw in the rest of the characters, but Jaeho is propably Jongwoo's superior who dunks workload on him and Moonjo gets mad about it at some point and politely confronts Jaeho about it. Seokyoon is definitely our sweet over-energetic puppy Rokkaku who's cockblocking Mjjw

AHH sorry for rambling lmao but I have a lot of ~Feelings~ about Cherry Magic and Moonjo and Jongwoo <33

the fact that i am delusional AND a scientist is quite funny to me. i am literally a queer coded villan

best thing about writing from jongwoo's perspective is the unreliable-narrator aspect: is this really happening? is this moonjo, or an actual person? am i confusing the reader, or spelling out the truth, or does it just seem like i'm spelling out the truth when really it's a hallucination of jongwoo's?
