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~ )

Another casualty of the sci-fi screen display. He has the cutest shocked face, though.


( You are more precious than you think. Keep that in mind. )

Most of his screen time in the trailer is behind a sci-fi display, so it looks a little strange at times. But hey, cyberpunk roleplays exist, right? And it's kind of reminiscent of the displays in Shadowhunters.

Btw? If you've never seen Yunho dance, you should fix that. He is a dancing machine.


( Rather than being the best, be someone who gives their best. By doing that you will become the best. )

I've brought you my parabatai's bias, and now I bring you mine. These all come from my folders labeled as pink hair, purple hair, and blonde hair; a couple of slightly brunette-looking ones sneaked in, but we're calling them blonde now.


( Fix on~ )

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. )

Love the song, love the video, hate working with the video's colour grading. 😭 Actually, tbh, I hate working with any colour grading these days. So much effort for such a small payoff... But here's an attempt at making myself get back in the swing of things.

Major thanks go to samanyana for capping this for me. 💖


( Behind the growing whisper, an instinct I can’t hide wakes me up. )

Cast your peepers upon the divine glory that is Hongjoong's split-dyed hair. Also, Memento Mori because that year totally cemented my mental associations with this colour scheme forever.

Now contains mirrored versions of the selfie icons because it was driving me insane that I forgot to flip them to make the hair colours appear on the 'right' sides. You may need to refresh if you previously viewed the set, because my brain also made me put them 'in the right order' so icons were erased and reuploaded with new file names.


( I shine more in the dark. )
