I Want Everyone EVERYONE Who Has Ever Written ANYTHING To Know About The Power Of Stories.

i want everyone EVERYONE who has ever written ANYTHING to know about the power of stories.

right now, myanmar is undergoing a coup. the country’s burgeoning democracy was just overthrown by the military. i spent part of my childhood under a myanmar military dictatorship. the conditions are terrible. i’m not sure there’s a full way to describe it. i mean, life under a junta is most likely something you’ve never felt. censorship of media (including social media), crackdowns, curfews, armed men patrolling the streets, fear, anger, misinformation given to children in schools, bomb threats - for nonviolently protesting the government you can get thrown in jail for over a decade. one of the current parliament leaders was put in jail forĀ fifteen years as punishment for activism. nine of those years were in solitary confinement. that is what defiance can cost you. once she was freed she got elected - she briefly had a voice in a democratic union - and right now she is terrified she will be jailed again. people are scared. i am scared. BUT. the country is not cowed and is not defeated. people are flocking to the streets, protesting, shouting through covid masks for their rights. people are offering each other free food. people are dancing. and one of the most powerful symbols of this resistance is–believe it or not– the hunger games salute. the three-fingered gesture that fictional characters used to defy and overthrow their brutal militaristic government is a symbol of real anger and desire for change. look.

what i want to say is - these things inspire people. these things affect people. stories of determined masses banding together to overthrow brutality are not something to laugh at. the power of seeing yourself and your struggles reflected in stories–the power of stories–is IMMENSE. read this article, stay informed, and please keep an eye out for ways to help.

I Just Want To Give A Huge Thanks To All Of You Following And Supporting Me During My Short Time Here

I just want to give a huge thanks to all of you following and supporting me during my short time here on tumblr! Never have I ever thought I would see the day where I would reach such a huge milestone and I couldn’t have done it all without you guys! I honestly was not planning on publishing any more stories here after my first timestamp, but all of you have been so kind to me and it just made me want to write more (yes, feedbacks help a lot more than you think! <3)

To express my gratitude to all of you, I decided to take drabble requests! You read that right, my inbox is open for requests!

image

Rules are simple:

Pick oneĀ NCT/WayV member

Pick one au and;

Pick one prompt

Some disclaimers to take note of:

I will be picking the genre (fluff, angst, smut, etc.) and trope (f2l, e2l, fwb, etc.) I find most suitable for your request.

One request per person, please. I have a life outside of tumblr. That being said, please be patient with your requests; I will try my best to get them finished as soon as possible.

Word count will range between 0.3k to 2k, depending how inspired I get from the contents of your request.

If someone has already requested the same member, au, and prompt before you, your request will be redirected to the drabble already written.

Suggestive/sexual themes will not be written for ā€˜01 liners and below. In fact, suggestive/sexual themes will only be written for members I am comfortable writing for (I’m not sure if I’m comfortable writing such themes for ā€˜00 liners tbh but we’re just gonna roll with it for now)

I’m only accepting requests until February 26, 9:00 PM EST! However, if I get overwhelmed by all the influx of requests then I might cap it at a certain limit.

Any requests sent after the deadline/cap will be deleted. Failure to comply with the rules listed above will result in having your request being deleted. If you’re an absolute asshole then your request will just cease to exist tbh.

Love you all! Happy requesting~ All the au’s and prompts are listed below the cut!

Keep reading
