i will be very frank and honest i just don't know how i did last years post (it's also been a whole year?!) so i am going to be slightly less ambitious and just make sure i actually get this out before the year starts. see in theory i adore organization and setting up structure but i have really poor follow through i am learning (to my defense i recognize that i have had a lot of personal accomplishments for this year & tend to keep myself booked n busy like crazy but still. it's a new year. i really want to slow things down, so that i can properly reflect n be grateful n just. sit in the quiet moments more. i don't need to be in motion all the time!).

it is probably also the reason why i literally died on this acc after 17hols. asjdhfkajs need to find a way to make things simpler for myself instead of choosing to make things complicated

& now without further ado this is what i got up to in 2022!

the 17hols explosion of media, prompts & fills was such a wonderful way to bring in the new year T__T there are so many participating, it's quite so nice (s/o to the mods, hwa pb risa for updating the masterlist and running this wonderful space). i must also admit that i am guilty of also going a little (a lot) overboard with fills, especially since i found myself with more time than i thought i'd have in the form of an unforeseen quarantine. i've also been consuming a large amount of diverse media - diverse for me, considering i tend to stick to the things i know i like and hardly experiment - and i'm happy to experiment/keep tinkering + writing a little every day. it brings me a lot of joy to create, and although it might not be good or perfect, it's still something i'm happy about bc i'm making it with my own two hands. i like to think that i'm getting better too, with the practice.

​​a wish your heart makes (seokhao, 11k, 2/2 chapters) - playlist

first off, inspired heavily by risa (hyojungss ) & kit (bluerthanbluets ) for their fic commentary. i love hopping into the brain behind the masterpiece and seeing from the other side, what inspired your works. it's so cool seeing what you were thinking when you chose to write things a certain way, i feel like it makes me more excited to work on my craft + critical of my own writing process (which, by the end of this, you'll find that it really lacks any sort of structure & purpose at all).

i rly love seeing the media dumps that people do on here.. i think it's so lovely seeing what you all have collected

here is what stuck out to me this february (& some thoughts)

for ki ! your mind is a marvel, i'm always excited to see you create and even more excited to make this for you. this is a writing playlist for those who live on whims, always fluttering on the breeze, fanciful and light and full of hope. somewhere out there, there's a place they can call home. hopefully, they can make one together.

to xia, with love. a writing playlist for love that is tender in action and gentle in its labor, love that isn't quite encompassed by words but things like: peeling open tangerines or saving them the ripest apple from the tree. best served on a platter. intended for, but not limited to, kimchi fic. :')
