i struggled with this chapter a lot, but ive gotten so much positive feedback already, which im incredibly thankful for!

As a writer, i think it's also important to go into details of the writing process too so let me talk about my experience writing this! https://twitter.com/LesbianTaehyun/status/1246150616294084615

i love clichee fanfics full of corny tropes. I love some good angst, i love tooth rotting fluff, i love all of that, and i want actor to be exactly that, because its fun to read and fun to write, at least for me.
but i also want it to be comfort. i want it to carry a meaning.

it may sound odd, yes, its just a fanfic on twt about some kpop boys, what about that can have any meaning to it.
but for me personally, actor has already become a comfort. a safe place for me. something that brought back my passion, and that showed me that i deserve love.

i have gotten an insane amount of support, which has NEVER, in all these years ive been writing, happened to me. people are invested in my writing, and the LET ME KNOW. they tell me their thoughts. for me thats special.
enough of that though. what else do i want actor to be?

i wish for it to also hold meaning and comfort in others, which is silly considering the amount of heartbreak that is waiting for yall lol.
but i dont just want this to be an angsty boys love fic but rather a story about lgbtq people growing comfortable with who they are.

i want people to find themselves in certain characters. characters you can identify with, no matter if its through sexuality, gender identity, personality.
i think about what id love to see in things like fics where we usually dont have the BIGGEST representation.

there is Min for example, who is Non Binary. If I'd see an nb character somewhere in a fic, id probably go feral (considering that a bunch of friends + a family member of mine is nb), and seeing people like Min makes me SO HAPPY like,,,,, i love them too hdgrherbfh

i wnat people to find a home in actor one day.
and now the the stuff why i ACTUALLY started writing this thread lmao

why was this chapter so hard for me? BECAUSE GOD FUCKING DAMN IT COMING OUT IS A HARD THING AND DESCRIBING YOUR EMOTIONS IS ALSO HARD

thankfully i never had to fear coming out to my family. it seemed to just come natural, like yeah, another kid of yours thats gay. my brother is also queer so my family was open and understanding. i have never experienced being scared of coming out. i dont know how it feels.

i dont know how it feels to be scared, to feel limited, to hide. and i am SO fucking thankful. Im so gald i never had to feel this.
yet it makes it hard for me to understand those who DO have to fear it. it is hard for me to find out how parents might react to it.
