Empire Ants

For my parabatai, perkyshadowgirl, who is even more epic than Joong's smirk (and that's pretty damn epic). Happy belated birthday! Sorry I didn't get these done on time, but you get 99 extra because I fail at numbers so... everyone wins? 💕


( There's no one like him~ )

Look how cute he is!

This video holds a very special place in my heart, because Hongjoong's cover of Numb helped me overcome the hazy grief emotions I felt every time I listened to my fave Linkin Park songs after we lost Chester. It also cemented my love of Ateez before I was even overly familiar with their discography. I'm a sentimental person, what can I say?

Many thanks to Anya for the caps! Check out her public caps over at samanyana.


( Now I'm on my own. I cannot take it no more. I'll become sharper and more keen and more ruined in your own way. )

My parabatai's bias for an ever so slightly belated birthday gift~ 💖 I love you, bb, and here's to another decade-plus of being besties!


( Trust yourself and just do it. If it's not very perfect, that's okay. It's meaningful that you try already. )

Pardon the weird cropping on some of these. I live capped the stream on a phone and Samsung for some reason thinks it's smart to capture the screencap success bar in subsequent caps. 🤦 I don't have the spoons to cap and icon the entire hour-long thing, so I just made do with those caps and cropped around the bar... and in some cases clone stamped or image-merged it away.


( Shine brighter than any stars. Don't forget that you're a good person and a valuable person. )

Blonde and orange hair in this set. Black, brown, and red/pink to come in the future.


( What others think is not important at all; we're perfect just the way we are. )

More cuteness overload, for which I am a thousand percent not sorry. 🥰 These are Minhyuk-only crops of the images used for the set of him and Eunkwang together.


( I'm falling alone into a world no one knows; just feel the silence. )

Hope you're ready for a cuteness overload. 💙 These are Eunkwang-only crops of the images used for the set of him and Minhyuk together.


( The sun devours the deep darkness and moves forward. In the end, it becomes a light that makes me shine. )

Yeah, so, I accidentally became a bb Melody over the holidays and I'm not sorry. 😌 These precious dorks have brought me some much-needed joy in a really shitty time. Also, like, just look at Minhyuk and Eunkwang here. Their friendship is so cute I cannot even.


( Past the dark swamp, on this humid night, a gloomy air fills this place. The devil who has captured you is laughing at me, but it can't catch me. )

The final of five sets I made of the Brazilian Instagram model Mia Alves. This particular set is sourced directly from her Instagram account. The youngest she may be in these is 19 based on when she created her account, but the vast majority are in her 20s so I'm not dual tagging age.

This set contains icons with long hair and updos.
Some icons are mildly NSFW.


( I envy her hair styling skills. )
