im going to disappoint you so much when i say i dont really have any good examples of this >< i can't think of any book that has writing in it that the writing itself stood out to me, since i tend to judge the writing and the content together and prose has never particularly mattered to me when i read bc i start getting sucked in and seeing "movies" in my head of the stories anyway, not words or sentences ,,, sorry ><

also,,,,im finding i dont like poetry as much as i thought,,, or at least not poems that i feel are really only meant to be poetry or intentionally abstract...but i do like a poetry collection from cynthia guardado called "cenizas" ! i like spoken word poetry most i think. i don't feel as connected to poems or like i understand them unless i am hearing them from the writer themself. i'm too literal of a thinker/person to read poems and be able to appreciate them fully, i think >< it frustrates me to know there's probably more to a poem than i get at face value

i had to pull up my hoard of 3000+ ao3 bookmarks for this :D i hope you don't mind the long list (i read A LOT of fanfics skjfhd)

In no particular order: wangxian, catradora (my og childhood friends to enemies to lovers), chat noir/marinette (specifically them in the love square. they have my favorite dynamic when in this particular identity dynamic hehe), sterek (a fandom essential tbh), bucky/tony (i started shipping them before they had even appeared on screen together...i had vibes and a dream for this ship), victuuri, dabihawks (i miss you enemies to lovers narrative parallels....), sheith, mikayuu (god i miss ons...), yae miko/ei (raiden shogun), kanade/mafuyu from project sekai ilysm

tysm for sending me the strength <333 i'm gonna need it i fear ><

hiiii tulip anon <33 ilysm !! it took me some time to think about it and i narrowed it down to two that i am always thinking about! the first is from baby bmjn during ep 7 of one dream. it's the part where soobin is play scolding beomgyu i think? and then yeonjun noticed and immediately started defending beomgyu. it's adorable just like that, but what absolutely KILLS MEEE is that little moment when beomgyu decides to be a little shit just before he fake cries. i love love that i can see him immediately decide he's going to milk the attention for all it's worth, and obviously it worked out for him bc yeonjun immediately pulled him aside for "protection". you can see beomgyu's smug little smile there and it's what i love most about their dynamic. Beomgyu's mischief and how yeonjun just immediately is believing he is innocent at all times only to be later "betrayed" and just look so tired (fondly ofc). it's a cute moment to me that shows that beomgyu is ABSOLUTELY spoiled by his yeonjunnie hyung <3

the other moment i think of is ofc during the fanlive where yj performed yeonty :D the little part where they were acting out kdrama skits and then commit to the girlfriend/boyfriend thing for the rest of the time was endearing to me. plus how cute and flustered they both seemed to be during the portion where yj had to give complements (yk...when bg was so close it looked like if yj turned his head they would have kissed....)

an honorable mention is the behind the scenes reaction to yeonty ofc. the jaw drop of gay silence from bg and how he felt the absolute need to tell us that he had to be reminded by the team bc he wasn't paying attention to his cues >< adorable and so relatable of him tbh bc that was ALSO my reaction to yeonty

i kind of gravitate to their sillier moments as pinnacles of love >< ofc there are sweet moments between them, but i've always seen the height of intimacy being when you are so comfortable with someone, you can play around with them and just be ridiculous and silly and know they're going to be lovingly exasperated. the care shows with the gentleness of the teasing and how you can just tell that they both make it a point not to go too far, since they're both very sensitive ppl (as they've said) it's just sweet to me ><
