I HAVE FOUGHT AND OVERCOME

(...the mouse that was ravaging my bus house)

i have found something even more fun to write than kissing scenes and that something is Scenes After Kissing where we are Not Acknowledging That Kissing Has Occurred

so now my order of Most Fun Scenes to Write goes:

1. Fight Scenes
2. Kissing Scenes
3. Refusing to Acknowledge Past Kissing Scenes

Mantis was DELIGHTFUL, as expected from the Kill Boksoon universe and also anything Im Siwan acts in, but the crowning delight??

not a love triangle, but a hate triangle, in final boss fight form.

DELICIOUS.

yeah, the car desperately needed oil

and yeah, i didn't remember even after that until my dad randomly asked during the day if i'd checked recently bc adhd wants to kill my car for being cuter than it is

W.R. Gingell @wrgingell.bsky.social · 19d

last night i had a nightmare about not checking the oil in my car for far too long & woke up to the dreadful realisation that the "check oil" alarm in my phone was one of the many recurring "life to-do alarms" that vanished from my calendar when it randomly deleted all of 'em one day 2 months ago...
