i'm trying to be super chill about receiving this ask. because i love humnik.

but my biggest thing is that i think they're just super sweet towards each other. ik that a lot of ppl look at humnik n see the tension and everything. and it's true, the tension is there. but they're also super duper sweet together :')))

it's so cute how much nik trusts hum. he always describes hum as reliable, and someone that protects them and watches over them. someone who he can trust. it's a consistent thing that he always says about hum. hero fuma, who is handsome and always interesting to nik !! it's funny because he trusts fuma so much it changes his actions too. throw back to keng saying that nik ends up being pampered by fuma the most in that one interview (source: i'll find it if someone is curious but this Did happen)

on the opposite side, hum is always so endeared by nik !!! and he also notices how caring nik is. hum describes nik as someone who is very capable at reading the room and reading people, and i think that might be something he admires. because nik's good at adapting his speed to whoever he's with, truly really amazing at making someone comfortable with him. and on top of that, fuma just generally finds nico cute and pretty. source: he said it himself multiple times, if you actually want me to link it i'll go to my plug (tenshichan) and find them but yes. multiple instances of fuma finding nico pretty/cute.

sigh, i could probably say more. i love my energy gap couple who adore each other a lot <33 keep doting on each other please !!

omg kiki hello :3 sorry that this took so long to get to. i think it initially stumped me how to answer it... so i'll try my best now !

in terms of what the process of actual writing is like, i usually do a very rough outline of what i want the plot to be, and sometimes that will include certain dialogues or details that i want to include. it's more of a skeleton because i fill in stuff i want, and other stuff i leave to future me (poor future me in some instances) and because all i have is a skeleton sometimes the writing takes a life of its own and details appear that i didn't really plan out so i end up having to resolve ++ patch plot holes, in that way (this happened in chasing stars and a lot in my &heat fic)

and i try to write linearly... because if i get too excited and jump straight to a scene i really want to write, the dopamine is going to give me a rush and then i'm not going to be able to finish the lead up JSKFDJSKF i'm tricking myself into writing everything in order to keep myself from accidentally getting demotivated. that's why it's more satisfying when i do get to a scene i really wanted to write yay

oh also, i like writing on a computer because i type faster but i also write while i'm commuting to and from places on my phone ! i hope this answer makes enough sense ? if there's anything else you're curious about lmk hehe

hehe, thank you for the song rec, totally anonymous person ^^ i actually really really liked this song, and the vibe of it !! i'm excited to listen to more music by them :D
my favorite lyric:
"Breathe you in, hold it out, come around,
And I know imma keep you in view"
i can totally imagine a beach / vacation au with this song, two people either meeting on vacation or two long-time friends going on vacation, and this being the soundtrack to their not-so-platonic feelings flaring up again due to the vacation. (ncej in hawaii,,,,or any of the other members,,,,me remembering how mak wants to go on a beach vacation with nik just now,,,,,,alright i'll stop here)

i do ! i'm always ready to recommend songs hehe <3
(1) i found this song yesterday, it's called "hanging out to dry" by florence road and the whole album is rlly nice ^^ i'm listening to this as i write!
(2) i have to recommend cutflowers !! they're a smaller band but their songs are so dreamy. i especially love their song sailor !! it literally inspired me to write an original plot for wlw sirens <33 i love this song
(3) i've also really been loving underscores lately...i'm contemplating whether or not i should see her in concert...i might.... but i especially love wish u well
(4) spiracle by flowerface. this song hurtsss
(5) also just to throw in something random bc i feel like the songs have been pretty tame, aspirin by murokuP aka vocametal? not sure what to call it. but man i love vocaloid.

oh !! i think something fun i have when writing is that i keep a graveyard !! that's where i have all the scrapped ideas / drafting notes that i no longer need for a fic. it's a good reference point to look at. but also i just have funny things there that i wrote half-asleep or deep in frustration there too LMAO

here are some excerpts i found funny:
- (me trying to title my fic, collision course) boom crash. get it. bc fuma boom crashes. haha... (can you tell why i didn't name the fic boom crash.)
- (at the top of the speak your language humnik document) thank you taiwan for giving us 380495028 humniks, i'm gonna write you into this fic now
- (in the middle of writing girlnik incident) wow mak rlly likes girlnik. OH IM SURE MR EX BISEXUAL. IM SURE.
- (in the early stages of planning flannel humnik) fm tries pulling away (DUMBASS) and nik ofc notices (ALSO DUMBASS) and schemes
- (also from the flannel humnik fic) guys im losing the battle. to sleep. fuck. ok. so after this they kiss again... (i continued drafting after that)

there's more, of course. i have screenshots of two that i found really fucking funny. then again my humor is broken so i might just be laughing at something no one gets—

crazy question def not from pengwingparade-san (thumbs up) i think penguins are really cute ! i've always liked them since i was young, i feel like they were my favorite animals whenever i though about the arctic/antarctic. i also really liked the movie happy feet when i was younger, so penguins were just That Guy. oh and also surf's up. which, in retrospect is such a funny kids movie. i didn't realize how many penguin-related animated films there were back then wow. also i love penguin chicks and how fluffy they are. especially the emperor penguins bc they're so quintessential penguin, if that makes sense. very cute little guys, i wanna go back to the zoo n see them again ^^

oh now you're speaking my language !! i think. aside from the obvious (ncej). i really love the idea of humjju... they have such a deeply entrenched bond as leaders, and they both only have each other to rely on when doing leader things. sometimes i think about the amount of planning that must go on with them liaising with the managers and everything... it makes me thankful that jju doesn't have to go through it alone and that he has hum with him. also their dynamic is unmatched. two kind of repressed guys having repression olympics. they'd both let being leaders hold them back but at the same time that very thing defines so much of them so it pulls them together tight. they can't deny the connection they have nor the attraction (stares at the bej huma-hyung complex)

oh and also yumjju. which is so random, i've never talked about yumjju before. but can you imagine them two. they float around in my mind sometimes. i think they're very sweet together. there's a certain softness that yum affords toward jju and there's this certain. idk how to word it. way that jju permits things sometimes when it comes to yum...they're just cute....they cross my mind at times...cat and cat butler....ready to do whatever kitty needs him to do.....
