Hold On A Fucking Second. Delaware Is A State?? I Thought It Was A River? Or Is The River More Important

Please I need to know more about the siren au (and all the others)

Hello, chuchu! Thank you for asking <3

I believe talking about all of them at once would make this too long, but I'll tell you about the plot of the one you asked for.

In this universe, Jongwoo is a merman. Normally, merfolk live in groups, but he's an outcast. He lives by himself, away from his brothers and sisters, who think of him as "eccentric."

I should probably tell you that, instead of sweet, alluring tunes, the melodies Jongwoo sings are more like... uh... poetry... but make it horror. Make it disturbing.

Are you familiar with the cliché trope "she is not like other girls"??? So. He's not like other sirens (lol). And let me tell you something. Sirens can be very cruel, frightening creatures. They have nerves of steel. If Jongwoo is able to unsettle them... Well, he must be really weird indeed.

Oh, and Moonjo is also in this story. He's a human who collects teeth. Basically the same thing as in the drama, right? Except here he doesn't collect human teeth, but the teeth of mystic creatures—dragons, centaurs, vampires, ogres, werewolves... Sirens.

In fact, that's something that is still missing in his collection: the tooth of a siren! It's time for him to go sailing!

And you'll never guess who he finds :D

God aka John Gaius aka The Emperor calling Phyrra a bombshell, and then making a ‘your mom’ joke to Augustine is the highlight of my day

i cannot possibly start another piece but:

Bad and Crazy AU where instead of pushing him to do good, and being his conscience, Moonjo is trying to rile Jongwoo, who's a good-hearted albeit unhinged police man, up.

Some Priory and Adofn sketches of Eadaz, Sabran IX, Tané and Glorian Shieldheart :)

I’ve been sketching a bit to get their faces right, so I can draw more elaborate pieces. On another note I reread both books in the span of a week bc summer break so the brainrot is fresh and here to stay lmao

And if I applied Preacher's Daughter to SFH, specificall to Moonjo and Jongwoo, then what?

The religious imagery and intergenerational trauma? Not to mention the parental figures who embody some sort of religious figure, and the way they mess up their children through abuse and manipulation, molding them into what they want.

The story is about a kid who ran away from home, "betraying their family", only to be betrayed by the person they though they could trust in the strange new world. They start hallucinating as they are trapped by their lover, before being killed in another wave of religious imagery.

This is applicable to both Ethel (Ptolomea until Televangelism) and Jongwoo.

And, need I even say the romantization of cannibalism? The entire song of Strangers is peak mjjw, honestly.

"Can I be yours? Can I be yours? Just tell me I'm yours If I'm turning in your stomach and I'm making you feel sick"

Tell me this isn't literally Moonjo?

Anyways I'm hella tired but this thought occupied my brain and I had to let it go.

RIP johnny truant you would have loved tumblr tags

Hey, could you tell me a little about "Heart-shaped box" and "Overshot the target"? <3

Ofcc <33

So, "Overshot the target" is not about Strangers from Hell, but a trilogy called The Locked Tomb that's essentially just lesbian necromancers and sword women in space. So it's about Gideon and Harrowhark but a 1960s Summer Camp counselors AU in which they have the same enemies to lovers thing going on that they do in the novels but in a less fantastical setting.

Still not very fleshed out, but I want to make Gideon a muscular jock and Harrowhark a fencer (which is also them in canon but less fantastical xdd)

Probably won't be longer than a One-Shot (albeit a ~20k one xd)

"Heart-shaped box" however is a Strangers from Hell wip. It's a ghost-hunting au sort of?

In this AU Jongwoo moves to a countryside village to get away from his mom and girlfriend (who all live in Busan) bc said village is pretty close to a mysterious hotel that's sort of always been there and due to the surrounding landscape and its location being pretty isolated it's quite beloved by celebrities. But it's also supposedly haunted.

Now this is where another wip (the "herb doctor ghost" one) comes into play, bc I don't know how I want to connect the ideas. But essentially some centuries ago Moonjo was a really skilled doctor who worked a lot with herbs and could seemingly cure anything to the point that he had gotten a reputation. Namely that he was in kahoots with some demonic things, and that was he some sort of witch, which resulted in him being killed.

(I know that shamans or witches in historical Korea being killed was not that common, they were more likely just ostrasized or shunned according to brief research, but for the sake of this AU Moonjo was simply an outlier.)

So now, ~300 years later, Moonjo haunts the grounds on which he was killed, and the hotel that was built on top of them. And Jongwoo and new-found friends in the village decide to go on a little excursion to the hotel and see whether or not it's really haunted.

It might be too much for a one-shot, but maybe 2-3 long chapters like my Crimson Peak AU

actually I didn’t end up studying, instead compiling an ao3 reading log to see how many words I’ve read at the end of the year (bc mental illness) and at this point in time, my finished fics already combine to like 4.7 million words…. this is also bc mental illness omfg

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
