WHAT.

WHAT IN THE FUCKING WORLD WHY.

wow dystopian is the best thing ever can i have like a documentary based on the universe you wrote this in thank much appreciate this fic this idea this is gorgeous gfdsjhgkj I WANT TO SEE MORE ACTUALLY GUH

I DIDN'T TAKE A DREAM INTERPRETATION CLASS GUH BUT THE AMBIGUITY OF JUNMYEON'S HALLUCINATIONS JUST MAKES IT EVEN BETTER TBH

i expect an in depth chat about this is sounds like an amazing au omg I'M PROUD OF YOU BABY

[dontlookforme]

sobs thank you so muchhh i'm really happy you liked it ;u;
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF YOU LIKED THIS UNIVERSE
YOU SHOULD WRITE A SEQUEL
aren't i full of great ideas :D

even i am not quite clear about whether they were hallucinations, exactly, or... ??? (or maybe i am you can make up your own mind!!!!) also did you know it could potentially work as a prequel to justin's parahorror
we were talking about it while i was halfway done with it, and he was like WHAT IF HE'S JUST TRIPPING AND CHANYEOL'S TRIPPING REALLY HARD

think about it

[stars_in_love]

KRISKAI SEQUEL JESSICA MAKE IT HAPPEN JUSEYO

OH MY GOD YOU AND JUSTIN NEED TO BE PLACED IN SEPARATE LIVING SPACES
BUT WOULDN'T IT MAKE MORE SENSE FOR CHANYEOL'S EXPERIENCE TO BE AN OLD WORLD VERSION OF TRIPPINESS AND THEN IN THE FUTURE WHEN JUNMYEON LIVES IN DYSTOPIA HE WOULD EXPERIENCE A MORE TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCE TRIPPING

BETHHHHH :D

frick okay first of all let me just say you interpreted the prompt really brilliantly like..when i saw it I couldn't think of anything except alice in wonderland au OTL BUT GOD IT WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA

I love love love how you paralleled their physical journey to China with their idea of moving on from the past, especially with Joonmyun ;A; it tied everything really well together

And with every step he takes, Joonmyun only wants to go back even more.
this line really struck me...probably because you included your title in it in a way (heh) but also it just made so much sense like how you merged his physical and mental states at that point in time and fndsjkflsdnk overall, it was just really clean and neat and well written ;;;

[dontlookforme]

aaahhh thank you so much ;;;;; it really means so much to me!!

alice in wonderland au was my first thought, too haha... i think it was the definition prompt that really got my mind going, heh
and i'm really glad you got that that was what i was trying to do!! i really hoped that would come across :D
thank you again omg i'm just ;u; really happy you liked it! and thank you for reading ♥
