Fa-la-la-latte (Jacque's Wishlist)

[GotNoJamsss]

~ picspam made by me ~

“Alexa, play my Boy Band Christmas playlist” That’s better! Come in and get cozy with a cup of caffeine.  What’s your favorite? Latte? Americano? I’m a cold brew gal myself. Don't mind the kittens. They're just here to frolic and play, walking in a winter wonderland  I’ve had a really fun time writing this year! Below are some ideas for how to keep this small part of town merry and bright 

Reviews
I have a stupid amount of stories on my AP right now including some short OF. Would love some love on anything that interests you! Whether it's critique, real-time reactions, or just all cap screaming I'm here for it 

Graphics
Call It What You Want Story Banner [possibly sig banner?]
    Faceclaims [Scorp: Dacre Montgomery ; Lily: Holland Roden]

WJ Questions/Comments
I love discussing the writing process and complexities of characters and would love to share thoughts in my WJ if you’ve got anything on your mind! 

Stories
I am deep in a Scorp/Lily ship and currently obsessed with art-boy-Scorp so if anyone feels so inclined...
Also always love me some angsty anti-hero anything so if you're feeling like you might want to hit up some vigilante shit...tag me

Fandom Flailing
I love things. And when I love something I love to scream about that thing with other people. If you too shout at your mobile device when something from one of the below fandoms pops up, let’s flail together! Feel free to just scream at me, share your favorite GIFs, memes, reels, tiktoks, youtube compilations, or ask me about my bias or hot takes cause I will not hold back 

 These are a few of my favorite things 

BTS [Kpop more broadly, but I know the most about Bangtan]

Critical Role and other Dungeons and Dragons content 

Lord of the Rings [The Rings of Power was incredible!!!!]

Taylor Swift [Literally half of my chapter titles are based on Swifty song lyrics]

Avatar [I’m worried about all this new content they’re talking about - anyone else nervous?]

Always Sunny in Philadelphia 

Game of Thrones [House of the Dragon anyone?! ]

Broadway [I will start singing off key at the drop of a hat]

Tokyo Ghoul [I’m very late to this manga, but it was INSANE!]

Stand-Up Comedy [James Acaster, Ali Wong, Daniel Sloss, Taylor Tomlinson, Nate Bargatze, Iliza Shlesinger, Bo Burnham]

Kdramas
[There are too many to name, I’ve literally seen so many of these and love each and every one. I mean honestly if your tv show doesn't a sudden natural disaster that nearly kills your lead or have a plot twist where their father's murderer turns out to be their new lover's mother why are you writing it? You're telling me you watch shows where the two romantic leads didn't coincidentally know each other as children?!]


I'm really excited to explore the town and see how to best say hi to the neighbors! See you around the mountain

Hi, Jacque!

Here with a couple little reviews for your wishlist!

Happy holidays!

[starlitcastles]

Hi Jacquelin!
I read that you like BTS too and honestly that make me happy and excited because it’s so cool to see another Army or at least a fan on here! You’re an Army right, right?!?!  I thought I would drop off questions for you to answer about BTS as well as kpop as the first part of your present! I hope you enjoy answering these questions too by the way!

 

1.  How did you discover Bangtan Sonyeondan, I mean, BTS, and get into them?
2.  Who's your bias or biases? Why? Which member is your bias wrecker(s)? 
3. Have you listened to RM's new album: Indigo yet?  How about Jin's single: Astronaut? Jungkook's FIFA World Cup collaboration song: Dreamer? Ooh and what about Jack in the Box aka Hobi's new album? What did you think about those?
4. What's your favorite BTS album or albums so far? Any songs you're totally loving or cannot stop listening to? Would recommend to non-ARMYs or people who want to get into them?
5. Have you watched BTS Run, Bon Voyage, or any of their other shows on Weverse?
6. What's your favorite BTS related video that you've watched so far? (It can be funny, serious, any tone, etc)
7. What Hogwarts House would you sort the boys in? 
8. What kpop groups do you like?
9. What are some of the kpop songs you recommend to somebody that's new to kpop? 
10. Who are your biases in the kpop groups that you like? Do you have an ultimate bias too?
     

Oh, and I love this gif of Hobi because it's adorable and he's my bias and that's a gif I'll share that's BTS related!  Also it's the winter season so why not?!  

Oh, and non BTS and kpop related but here's a favorite of mine in general just because this is me at times and also it's hilarious everytime I see it :

I’ll drop your other present later on! But I hope you enjoy the questions I have for now!

Thank you so much for the reviews @crimson quill and @Felpata_Lupin! 

And brace yourself @starlitcastles cause I am definitely Army and about to flail  I'm gonna just answer the first few tonight so I have something to look forward to tomorrow too!

1. How did you discover Bangtan Sonyeondan, I mean, BTS, and get into them?
   I started getting into KDramas a few years back and watched Our Beloved Summer (which I 12/10 recommend) and V's Christmas Tree is the OST! It was a very quick spiral from there . I watched music videos, live performances, got deep in the rabbit hole of the bts universe from the earlier MVs, bangtan bombs, run bts - I mean they've made content I've watched it! 
2. Who's your bias or biases? Why? Which member is your bias wrecker(s)? 
   Suga is def my bias. [MINT YOONGI FORVER] I love his humor and general grandpa behavior  but I also really love V and how uniquely him he always is. Then anytime I see RM out there being the accidental God of Destruction all bias has been wrecked.
    
3. Have you listened to RM's new album: Indigo yet?  How about Jin's single: Astronaut? Jungkook's FIFA World Cup collaboration song: Dreamer? Ooh and what about Jack in the Box aka Hobi's new album? What did you think about those?
   Listened to all of them and watched the MVs too! The Astronaut was SO GOOD! And him singing with Chris at the concert was everything. JK did such a great job at the World Cup! It's a good song, but not something I'm gonna have on repeat. Indigo, however, has been on non-stop this past week. I can't pick a favorite. Lonely, Wildflower, Closer, Still Life - they're all incredible. Oh! And I loved Jack in the Box! Arson and More are 
4. What's your favorite BTS album or albums so far? Any songs you're totally loving or cannot stop listening to? Would recommend to non-ARMYs or people who want to get into them?
   HYYH is 10000% my fave era. Songs like Run, Baepsae, Fire, I Need You, the Nevermind Intro - It's the best storytelling in my opinion. I don't know just the whole vibe is so refreshing and nostalgic and hype. The songs all freaking slap and have insane lyrics. Baepsae is my all time favorite. They give zero fucks in that song and I love to drive to it just blaring  (linked a dance practice video that is equal parts awesome and hilarious). Same with Fire. The ending 'I'll forgive you' line always gets me. Mic Drop is such a good live performance - I will seriously just keep naming songs so I'll stop  The Run BTS in Busan was INCREDIBLE!!!! 
   As far as recommending to others, it kinda depends on their music tastes. What I love about Bangtan is that they've done such a range of styles! I think everyone's heard Butter and Dynamite by now, so I would def recommend Spring Day as a starter. It just sucks you in. FAKE LOVE! Boy With Luv, Run BTS, and Mic Drop are great too. 
5. Have you watched BTS Run, Bon Voyage, or any of their other shows on Weverse?
   Yes. Yes. and Yes. The Run BTS with the water debate and the one where JK loses all his points cause of photos with Jin  In The Soop is my favorite of the shows I think. They're all just so random. I will literally just watch compilation videos when I need to smile. Just Youtube something like 'BTS being...' let it autocomplete and fall down the rabbit hole

Answering more questions from @starlitcastles

1. What's your favorite BTS related video that you've watched so far? (It can be funny, serious, any tone, etc)
Their Run music video is definitely up there. It's just such good storytelling. It's got the fun, the freedom, and the angst of youth and I live for it. Their Go Go performance with all the hearts makes me soft. And ahhhh there are so many good Run BTS eps and iconic moments, but this compilation of them betraying one another in games is so fucking funny. No one backstabs like Bangtan. There are more serious ones but I want to smile right now and not be devastated by their 2018 MAMA acceptance speech. AHHH but there's also Young Forever at Wembley and any performance of So What and I'm Fine - I could go on forever - What are yours?! 

2. What Hogwarts House would you sort the boys in? 
Would love to hear your thoughts on this too! Jimin is 1000% Slytherin that one isn't up for debate for me. Suga probably is too just for his lack of giving fucks. Hobi and JK would be Hufflepuffs. RM could be Ravenclaw, but I'd put him in Gryffindor (so JK might follow him there actually). V is probably Gryffindor too, but honestly he's such an eclectic person he's the hardest to pin down. What do you think? 

3. What kpop groups do you like?
I'm really into (G)-Idle right now and I know Jackson Wang’s recent stuff isn’t really kpop, but boy was an idol for a long time so I’ll include him. Other than that my kpop is just on shuffle so it’s more songs than groups. Love Dive, Tally, HypeBoy, AntiFragile, Fearless, Maniac, HOT, Goodboy Gone Bad.
 
4. What are some of the kpop songs you recommend to somebody that's new to kpop? 
So What and I Need You by BTS, DDu-DDu-DDu and Kill This Love by Blackpink, HypeBoy by NewJeans, then anything by Shinee, GOT-7, Twice, and Red Velvet is gonna have that classic Kpop feel

5. Who are your biases in the kpop groups that you like? Do you have an ultimate bias too?
Outside of BTS, I really only know TxT, BlackPink, and a little about StrayKids. Outside of that I could rattle off a ton of groups, but nothing about them. Yeonjun is my TxT bias (though Soobin’s blonde hair at the AMA’s had me) and Soyeon from (G)-Idle has my heart. I couldn’t pick from BlackPink they’re all so fun in their own ways. Ultimate kpop bias is Suga for sure. I’m on the ‘Yoongi Marry Me’ train

Happy holidays, Jacque! Here with a review on A Few Mistakes Ago, ch 5.

[Lost_Robin]

Hey, Jacque! I left you a review on Let's Break Up.

[starlitcastles]

Hey Jacquelin! 

I’m back to drop off your second gift and that is a picspam of Taehyung and Yoongi (or Taegi) because you mentioned they were your biases and thought I would make one with both of them in it! I hope that you like it!

Anyway, hope you have a wonderful, amazing, fantastic, magical, and lovely holiday season! I hope 2023 will be a lot better for you as well!
