soft love with wonwoo. there’s no need for intense romance to keep your love alive, no need to broadcast your moments together, no need for over the top dates, no need for a love that’s just like the movies because just being able to see your face and be beside you is proof that the love you share is enough. your quiet days spent together, finding solace in each other and even if you’re not in his arms during your quiet days just like how couples are in films, soft eyes and lingering touches are reminder enough that you both love each other just as much as intense lovers do. everything’s just gentle. gentle touch. gentle eyes. gentle i love you’s. a love where the two of you understands each other even if no words are spoken. a safe place.
Marie Egner: In The Blossoming Bower, 1896.
to celebrate arthurkyeom’s return i compiled some böötleg xcalibur content for the cuties and carats who might not have gotten a chance to hear dokyeom perform ♡
in this drive you’ll find: • an audio recording of dokyeom’s entire live performance • the live album released by emk • part 1 of xcalibur, subbed and performed by dk’s co-star kai (i’m afraid i mightve overwritten the part 2 file somehow and idk if anyone else recorded it ;-;) • some random lq videos i found of arthurkyeom cause why not lol
enjoy and long live king arthurkyeom~ ^^
growing pains : a svt 97 line smau
synopsis : people say that you’ll experience three kinds of love in your lifetime. the first is an idealistic love, the kind that feels straight out of a fairy tale. the second is the hard love, the kind that will leave you with lessons about yourself and the love you want and need to experience. finally, the love you never see coming. this is the story of your three loves.

sending strength to all filipinos reading this. we are in a very dark time and we absolutely do not deserve this trauma we're collectively experiencing because of the current presidential elections.
i was only 16 when president rodrigo duterte was elected. i witnessed news of people being killed by police numbering in the thousands. i was also 17 when i read about kian's death at the hands of policemen who planted a gun on his corpse and claimed he was a drug carrier.
in 2018 i entered university full of excitement and hope and a drive to change the nation for the better. i only experienced 2 and a half years of being on-campus when the covid pandemic struck. now, i'm supposed to be graduating and the government's current pandemic response has not allowed face-to-face classes.
6 years is a terribly, terribly long time.
in these past few months with the Leni-Kiko campaign, i have felt hope for the first time in a long time. i could see that this country was indeed desperate for change and the collective action across different sectors of our society. and then, i felt that hope dashed last night with the announcement of the unofficial vote count.
i won't discourage you from feeling all the grief and anxiety you need to feel. but in these coming days, we have to pick ourselves back up.
the marcos family's return without any sense of apology is not honorable. their manipulation of fake news to clear their name and rewrite history is not honorable. bongbong marcos being permitted to run as a presidential candidate is not honorable. the handling of the voting process yesterday is not honorable.
the way they spit on our democracy is not honorable.
it's time for us to rise up again because the power has always been with the people. we absolutely have to fight for it.
on behalf of the people killed during martial law. on behalf of the people killed under the duterte regime. on behalf of the student-activists, farmers, laborers, fisherfolk, environmentalists, artists, journalists, and urban poor who are the most vulnerable targets if a marcos presidency comes.
we have up-ended a marcos presidency before and we can do it again.
if need be, see you all in EDSA
