SLEEP, WHO NEEDS SLEEP, I HAVE EPIK HAEMIN <333 peaches_n_kream June 20 2011, 07:57:30 UTC
What got to him, however, was the way Hyukjae looked at the other man. He knows that Hyukjae disliked these gatherings because he found it tiring to put on a mask in front of everyone, found it tiring to talk to other people's masks as well. But with this man, though Hyukjae had a mask on, he was showing himself-- the Hyukjae he fell in love with.
He didn't like that one bit. Tablo knew the games they played, but this was different.
your title is too perfect and this is only one of many ways why. the fact that 'mask' has multiple meanings and ambiguities fits the fic so well *w* biases aside, the whole hyukmin and difference and ~chemistry~ of this scene aside, the deliberate word choice and repetition, yet slightly altered definition, i positively love it, and i'm going to be obnoxious and point out how there is a freakishly long list of meanings and it's a flawless theme for this fic ok.

Sungmin laughed, amused. Grinning cheekily at the younger boy, he said, "I can't help that I'm pretty, Hyuk~ I was born this way. Unlike other people."
...bring in the biases, and of course i'd point out the (amazing and cute) witty banter <3

Identity safe behind his mask, Sungmin smiled impishly at the other before saying, "Oh, that's not necessary. In fact, I would very much like to un-meet you, if that were possible." And then he turned and left, leaving a surprised Donghae in his wake.
AND THEY FINALLY MEET \o/ ONE-SIDEDLY, BUT NONETHELESS! min's semi-rejection of him, how he kicks hae's world waaaaay out of orbit, i flail all over this, seriously, because min's so cheeky and hae totally deserves it (and more), the cocky miscreant; but then you twist his character again, and now there's the problem of How could Sungmin hate a man like this? If anything, he should be pitying Donghae, for the other man had unconsciously locked himself in a life filled with lies. seriously, i love how your characterizations are so not flat ;w; this comes up so many times, but i just can't get over it, it makes everything so realistic and fleshy and awesome-sauce. Raising an eyebrow, Sungmin carefully asked, "You're not really who you make out to be, are you Donghae-sshi?" omg, let me bask in the awesome that is not knowing who they'll next reveal themselves to be, reveal, mask, ignore my lame, i'm simply too in awe at your story-telling prowess.

"Are you trying to tell me you want to be my friend?"
"No," Sungmin answered, "I don't need permission to do that. You're weird, Donghae-sshi. And so, being a fellow weirdo--,"
"Excuse me? Did you just call me--,"
"--I've already decided to be your friend. Yes, Donghae-sshi," Sungmin grinned, "You are weird. What I'm trying to ask is that if you'll return the favor."
"Return the favor?"
"Yes."
"Are you crazy?!"
"Ha. Guess not." Laughing loudly, Sungmin shrugged, "I wasn't expecting you anyway. But do try and make friends, Donghae-sshi. Find the annoying ones this time, yeah? If you do, maybe you won't be such an asshole anymore. Because you won't feel the need to."
...joey, i'm going to be the most annoying bug on your windshield ever. js. and yes, unrepentant quoting is unrepentant, in the name of my snorting and the bickering and hae basically getting owned by min XDDD even though min has no ~identity~ and is the most caged because of his family standing and fear of change, he's ironically the most free in the social world, in terms of expression and interaction; his flippancy is adorable and very endearing, so very him!

(...and of course i get cut off, i was surprised i wasn't last time, but ._____. //pouts at this stunty bit of decapitated spazzing)

"Yeah, you were saying. You were saying it to me. You expect me to do something about it, don't you?"
again, hyuk has the best reasoning EVER.

"Well I don't believe he can change! Why the hell are we talking about him anyway?! You aren't interested in him, are you? Because if you are, I swear to God hyung, I will disown you!"
"I'm not," Sungmin answered, laughing, "He just reminded me of you back then. You were having a rough time, weren't you? I just thought it was a little sad, that despite the crowd always around him, no one can see that he's hurting too."
you know what, this min's like the guy that'd rescue kittens from big bad trees and baby birdies from drowning in the rain gutters. he's sensitive, yet strong in his own way :3 at the same time, he has his own insecurities, even if he pushes them aside for the sake of taking care of someone he believes needs his attention more. i totally adore the portrayal of his different sides! your characterization is as round and gorgeous as he is, omg ;w; ...and, you know, hyuk's accusation makes me all flaily and happy too. but i digress.

I SHALL DREAM SO PRETTILY TONIGHT~! THANK YOU FOR FICCING JOEY \o/ LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT UPDATE~ HOW CAN MY EXCITEMENT WANE WHEN EVEN AFTER THEY MEET, THERE'S STILL SO MUCH TO THEM LEFT IN THE AIR? YOUR PACING, FOREVER ENVIOUS; NO RUSH YET ENOUGH MOVEMENT TO TANTALIZE //FLAILING AND MAKING GRABBY HANDS OF GIDDY DELIGHT AND UNADULTERATED JOY~~~

OMG LISA, YOUR COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS EPIC!
//FLAILS WITH YOU
THAAANK YOU!
there are parts where you make it sound more awesome than it is OTL but still THANK YOU!! <333

BUT HOCRAP YOU SHOULD SLEEP!! (as if i have the right to say that. i usually just sleep for 4 hours before getting up again to work nyahahaha :3)

YOU ARE AMAZING! \o/
you caught the 'mask' theme going on, woohoo! i tried to play with two themes, and you caught the first one and described it really eloquently too-- something that i probably wouldn't have been able to do XDDD the other one started in the middle, but you poked at it somewhere in your epic comment :DDDDD

i love how your characterizations are so not flat ;w; this comes up so many times, but i just can't get over it, it makes everything so realistic and fleshy and awesome-sauce -- i can't get over your characterizations either XDDD with people, there's always something beneath the surface, something more than the first impression. i felt that donghae would've been a boring character if he was just a jerk, sungmin if he was just a kind person. there had to be a reason why they turned out the way they did. one of the reasons why i can't write short fics is that i can't let the explanations go. sometimes, that's a good thing because i'm forced to flesh out a character which makes them more real. but at the same time, i can't write short fics at all :( another reason why i like explaining things is because as i'm explaining a character's background, i'm hoping that readers would be able to connect with them. cause connection is important, isn't it? it makes the story more interesting for the reader XDDD

even though min has no ~identity~ and is the most caged because of his family standing and fear of change, he's ironically the most free in the social world, in terms of expression and interaction -- i didn't even notice this O___o but, true~ he's trapped in a life forced by his family, and yet, he's the most free because he isn't bogged down by the rules Hyuk, Hae, and the rest have to follow XD

he's sensitive, yet strong in his own way :3 at the same time, he has his own insecurities, even if he pushes them aside for the sake of taking care of someone he believes needs his attention more -- you caught me! i like min that way. strong but still has his own vulnerabilities. that's how i see the real sungmin too :DDDDD

MY PACING IS PAINFUL. i hate that i have to write this and that before i get to the interesting part D: but THANK YOU! it means a lot to me because sometimes, i feel that i'm dragging things too much, or explaining too many things.

YOUR COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS AWESOME! THANK YOU LISA!
you always make me realize that hey, i'm not a lost cause after all! <333

(i'm estimating it to be four parts hahaha at the very least, there's gonna be four :DDDD)

SLEEEEP!!
hopefully, i'll be able to catch you tomorrow~

BECAUSE YOUR WRITING IS JUST ALWAYS THAT AMAZING JOEY!!! THANK YOUUU! <333

(i slept at least 4 hours! well in your realm of normality :333 don't worry~)

haha, idk what eloquence you're referring to, but pokey pokey poooooke~~~? btw, this is why i hound at you for teasers :3 reading something beforehand to get the ~feel~ then rereading for the ~plot~ and then rereading again for ~details~ when i reeeeeally like something, when i take forever to comment, it's because i'm digesting very very slooooowly~ and your updates always have so many teasing tidbits that make me double back, so *^*

and ilu for generating awesome long!fic; it's hard to make things long yet progressive, instead of long and dragging or meandering. explanations, backstory, connection, they're all totally important, and you balance it with plot really well!!! ahahaha, painful for poor joey (because i understand, we get impatient and want the interesting stuff to just happen already, bwahahaha~), but way too delightful for us~ because it's no fun if they meet and fall right away; all the significant details you slip in and connect, they really make the story realistic, and exciting. the buildup *w*

keke, because i like him that way too; it does have a very ~him~ feel, and a very real feel in general, and totally applies with the people-are-not-who-their-impressions-suggest row.

you could never be a lost cause bb, because i know how to harass you where to find you <333 //creeper smile

(oooh la la~ 8DDD //giddy!!!)

duuude, i couldn't ;w; i lied in bed for almost an hour before i could fall asleep; see how spazzy you make me XD? //still overeager, btw

no dooon't; you need to go in with low expectations! OTL //is horribly stuck at the moment

yeeeeeah...unfortunately, the dramatics are all in little isolated pockets that aren't expanding very well :| worst case scenario, you'll end up with crack and a handful of dramatic drabbles? i'm trying really hard to write non-haemin though, so...whee? //is actually very hesitant about how that'll turn out, omggg~

oh dear, mood swings! what's wrong? D:> anything you need to get off your chest?

...it's almost 8, keke =w= vanished for a bit because my parents came home unexpectedly early, so we had dinner together~

Re: SLEEP, WHO NEEDS SLEEP, I HAVE EPIK HAEMIN <333 unorderedlist June 21 2011, 03:34:43 UTC
low expectations?? oh, please. anything from you would be awesome and brilliant XDDD

well, if you're having a hard time with the drama, it's fine if you continue wherever~ i looooved the sweater fic and the wedding fic with the confused eunhae and the fic where ming's a sex operator!! whenever i need something to make me happy, i always always reread those :DDDD

hahaha thanks lisa~ <3
but, idek why i'm like this XD sometimes, the littlest things piss me off or make me sad. but i know it's just me and that it's nothing so, hahaha anyway, it's probably nothing, as usual

dinner with family is the best!! \o/

...i'm kind of just stuck in general, lol. i told you (maybe...? i get confused ><") i write nonlinearly, right? so there are gaps between scenes and a disconnect with some of the characters :| a-a-and asdfghjlk, you're too sweet ;w; but i reeeeeally want to write you what you wanted, so X3

then i hope you feel better soon :3 it's ok, you can't help how you feel; no one is ever happy 24/7, so whatever the bothersome reason, i hope it improves quickly. you know how to reach me, whenever, whatever, even if i'm terribly slow <3

it is \o/ the hard part is always figuring out what to eat though, hahaha; either everyone has different opinions, or we do the 'no, youuu pick~' and it takes ages for us to settle XDDD

Re: SLEEP, WHO NEEDS SLEEP, I HAVE EPIK HAEMIN <333 unorderedlist June 21 2011, 07:12:53 UTC
yup, you have told me :DDDDD
what i want? i only wanted min to be the central character where everyone dotes/is protective of him but he doesn't know and everyone's like, 'no, we don't care about you' but they do LOL JK XDDDD seriously though, i like fics where others are protective of him because most of the time, he's the one in that part and though there are fics like that, they're not enough! XDDD

thank you,lisa~ <333
it's just, sometimes i make a big deal out of the actions of my friends and it just festers XDD

my family doesn't do that cause they make me pick OTL

and your updates always have so many teasing tidbits that make me double back, so *^* -- i take so long writing comments to your fics for the very same reason XDDD

because it's no fun if they meet and fall right away -- right?! i'm a romantic, but i don't believe in love at first sight. there's attraction at first sight but not love. this is why i need to write situations where they can fall in love, but that's the hard part because it has to be meaningful and everything O___o

on the other hand, i am forever jealous that you can write one shots ;~; i used to be able to, but now i can't huhuhu waaaae?!

duuude, i couldn't ;w; i lied in bed for almost an hour before i could fall asleep; see how spazzy you make me XD? //still overeager, btw -- i was like this when you let me read a part of the fic you're making HAHAHAHAHA i was typing codes but my mind was in a place very, very far away~~~

^^^^^ THIIIIIS, YESSS~ meaningful meetings, huhuhu~~~ gradual progress in spite of the impatience ><" but yeah, it is hard, because there's always the balance of coincidence and reality to consider, and the ~getting to know each other~ and whatnot, without making it seem like a speed date //cackles

...i can write one shots because i never bother to explain backstory XDDDDD they're just...there. um um um, you can't because your writing has matured and you're no longer satisfied with things happening just for the sake of entertainment, aka demand realism and rational cause-and-effect \o/?

lololol, joey, you are too adorbs >w< what's eating me is how i actually have endings planned every time i start stuff, but i never quite reach them; all my failed attempts at long!fic have ending scenes already OTL the current fic i'm on doesn't though because i still don't know who to pair min with :| //stares at you

because there's always the balance of coincidence and reality to consider -- THIIIIIIS!! it's so difficult setting things up so that they'll at least appear realistic. you really have to think of everything before you start writing, because if we don't O__o it begins to write itself and it just grows and grows and grows. it's my weakness, honestly hahaha! at least you know your endings, with that you can map it out somewhat XDDD for me, i write because no one's writing what i want to read HAHAHA

you can't because your writing has matured and you're no longer satisfied with things happening just for the sake of entertainment, aka demand realism and rational cause-and-effect \o/? -- HAHA! I WISH!

pairing?? ;~;
my OTP changes a lot it can't even be considered as an OTP hahahaha today, my OTP's yemin because of a fic i read, tomorrow it's probably gonna change again XDDD this is why i keep on saying that anything's fine hahahaha sometimes, i stare at a picture of sungmin and another member looking intimate and i'm like, 'OTP OTP!!' XDDD but as long as it isn't kyumin or wookmin or mimin or henmin, it's fine~

...it's like our brainchildren are incarnates of the-thing-that-ate-everything, seriously. but ahahaha, no no no, i understand completely! it's like writing fic in response to other fic XDDD

fiiiiine. only because your reaction's insanely cute. chul's harem plan it is :| lmfao, no, jk, or am i //makes note of those listed
