Thank you!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it 🥹 I’m not entirely sure when and where the puppy jccng agenda started tbh… I think there was a big focus on this dom captain persona from the older atz days, and recently he’s really softened up with the members and how he interacts with them so that probably had some effect. Genuinely, I think hairstyle was also a big factor? He looked so cute with his soft eyes and slightly curly brown hair that this puppy idea just took off. There’s still a massive part of the mctz rpf community that prefers the idea of DILF hj because of his role in the team and the way he used to be firm with the members etc. so sometimes there’s a divide there, but more people enjoy both ☺️ In the context of mctz, obviously he’s younger than SH so that’s already real, but with all those videos of his loser behaviour circling when he’s touching him and how nervous he is to even look SH in the eye, it’s easy for writers to take the idea and run with it. Perhaps a part of it comes from SH being so confident in himself recently too, which inspires the other side of things eg the confident omega and the desperate alpha vying for his attention. I’ve always enjoyed a younger/more desperate top and a more stoic bottom in any fandom I’ve been in hahaha so I think it’s always been around, maybe it just depends on fandoms! Truthfully I’m probably not the best person to ask about this in atz since I only started writing mctz rpf just over a year ago 🥹 I hope that answers your question to a degree? But feel welcome to dm if u wanna talk about it more haha

I actually had to google this to understand what it was about. The mention of krav maga in the story was because it’s the only martial art I knew was more practical, and what a bodyguard might know. It’s also offered at a lot of gyms etc. in the UK so naturally it’s the one that came to mind. It was meant to show that Seonghwa knows what he’s talking about, even though I clearly don’t. My one mention of it was certainly not meant to normalise something that originated in Israel, as I’ve just learned that fact myself. It was a passing detail, so I clearly didn’t research enough and I’ll apologise for that, but saying it was meant to “normalise” it feels like taking it too far when I’ve been vocal about my anti-Israel stance on social media. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the other stories though.

Thank you so much, I’m so glad you loved the story 🥹 I think talking about pregnancy and their futures was really important, seeing as one of the big plot points was Seonghwa’s heats and how much of an issue it was after years of taking suppressants. It’s an idea that resonates with me as well, especially as I’m the same age lmao and all my friends are beginning to have children and making choices like this. It’s a big change in someone’s life, even if they know they want kids, so I wanted the epilogue to show them having a bit more of freedom and doing what they both haven’t had a chance to do: truly be themselves and with someone they love. So I’m really happy that resonated with you, thank you for the message ❤️

Okay, Bluesky isn’t an alternative for Twitter in the same way you have alternatives to all these fake social media post apps. They look exactly the same no matter which one you use, whereas Twitter is a social app: it’s the original, and it’s where the majority of the fandom we’re in resides. That’s not a fair comparison at all.

And I love supporting my fellow writiny, of course I do, but I need everyone to stop blindly supporting people sometimes (when the initial accusation came, before the evidence was linked) and also ask yourself why the person cropped out the mention of AI in every single screenshot but accidental one. If they weren’t using it this whole time, then why crop it? They could have explained themselves how they have now, and everyone would have moved on but they HID that. Not that it matters anymore since as far as I’m aware they’ve moved onto different things. They apologised, changed their ways and everyone forgave them so that’s that I guess.

I wasn’t even gonna share this on Twitter tbh because we’ve had enough discourse to last a lifetime, but seeing as you could have just DM’d me to say this anon, I figured you should see the response…

Hey there! Ever since I’ve decided to write longfics (especially the plot heavy ones) I’ve started planning everything ahead of time. That’s not to say things don’t change as I go sometimes, but I line lining out the main plot/conflict points. So I always start with a list of characters and info about them (this helps with omegaverse cause I always forget what their scents are lmao) and then bullet point everything I want to happen in the story, some more detailed than others. I’ll post this on Twitter after with some examples! But with DTM, for example, I always knew what a lot of the conflict between Seonghwa and HJ would be, and what the main motifs and symbolism would be etc (the paintings, the collar, the stars and golden hour) but the order the events have happened has changed quite a lot to give the relationship more depth. I also love writing found family, so as I go through the story and come up with more pack dynamics scenes etc then I add it and it just gets longer. I do something add things that readers ask for or I talk with friends about haha but the main outline and events are always written ahead of time so I don’t lose the plot and details. I hope that makes sense! (There are some things I don’t plot out… for example, the newest milfhwa multichap I’m writing is just vibes and what smut I want to write next lmao)
