girasolesalright let's go.
so this whole thing started out as "soobin and yeonjun go on a roadtrip & talk about their feelings on beomgyu & taehyun respectively" because i am Me. but somehow it became something else entirely; the original scene i thought of is still there (soo&jun comforting each other about the uncertainty of the future) but many things Changed (the very first thought of this was only the two of them going, hamlinz saying bye bye to them in front of a black car? yeonjun saying "you're obvious." directly post yj's high school graduation, not college. but i find post college is a lot scarier...) something else that i found Hilarious is that when i pick something to write about i'm always finding weirdly fitting thematic things (be it for txt or for the topic i'm writing & this time it was: fear of future & passage of time.)
> every place they visited is real; gongsanseong fortress, magoksa temple, gwangju family land, mudeungsan park, daein market, duryu park, 83rd floors tower, kim kwanseok road, suseongmont lake etc etc all of them are real. the research this time was a bit better than pacrim's only because i didn't have to change countries on google map every few minutes to work on a different scene when i wasn't feeling it anymore.
> the chosen cities were mentioned in txt's travel at home & some details were taken from it (yeon&gyu wanting to look Cool & have some #fashtion for example which is why they're clothes sharing)
> in skr, summer has aprox 6 hours of daylight and in june specifically, they have at least 9 days of rain. trying to play with this was kind of fun.
> chestnuts are really a staple food in gongju which i thought was really funny.
> there really is a store called memories in the daein market. another coincidence ^o^ & it's really a popular thing on the market for people to do busking, especially the singing type. there are special days where it's more than that (saturdays i believe) it's not that important in the context of Fic but it is very likely for people to just sing there n_n
> "i've told my parents about your face" around 41 minute mark.
> this is the café soobin and yeonjun go to in daegu.
> "shouldn't have invited the other three."
> clocks / seasons / weather for the whole thing as the passage of time.... i think it could've been a LOT better but that's always the case, so let's not get too wild. i think specially towards the end, i didn't do a good job on keeping the Imagery which is something i think it's a big weakness of mine besides endings that don't feel too complete.
> the first scene that was written was the confession scene - story is practically built around it, but i find that i really like this? i also think i struggle a lot with confession scenes so starting with it practically already written (i BARELY changed anything) was a bit relieving.
> it was MUCH hornier too. but let's not talk about it too much we can do that somewhere else or preferably, never!
> writing process... originally, txtbb was supposed to be a timeloop thing which i briefly discussed with mira, but then my computer deleted ALL my writing files and i spend a horrible night trying to get them back (which i eventually did! after a few hours of freaking out and crying) but the timeloop doc never made it back, it was too corrupted. if i remember correctly it was at almost 2k by that time and i tried to rewrite it to no avail... i have a new doc for it though! it sits pretty at 4k or something, i think? but i don't know if i'll finish it. TT TT
> the big chunks of writing were done in december thanks to wip olympics, i can safely say about 10 ~ 12k were written for that time, which was a huge reflief when january came around because,
> honestly the last days before deadline were so difficult,,, the only thing keeping me going was the art + beta readers! i think since i worked on it for such a long time i grew tired of just looking at it. Like, i honestly, really hated that doc for a few weeks but now i feel OKAY with it. it's just Okay.
> more about hating this doc: is the weather / rain etc thing consistent enough? i think finishing it up with a literal STORM and then DANCING ON IT can be uhhh quite on the nose but then again i always feel like im not obvious enough. so TT__TT
> i don't know if this is something i can say is an improvement from previous fics. is the atmosphere better or cohesive? (i think the answer is yes in regards to cohesiveness but BETTER? not necessarily) have my descriptions gotten slightly more bearable? (i don't know about this one) am i happy with it? (i don't know about this one) has the body language IMPROVED? (i dont know about this one)
> somehow, i am very happy to have included beomgyu's mom saying they went to visit their friends while beomgyu's friends were in their home doing whatever they wanted to do. it's very bittersweet to me how these things can go TT TT
> i am someone who lets go of things too easily so i think writing about a group of people wanting to truly hold on gives me a bit of hope, somehow. i'm not sure
> favorite lines? i guess i have some.
> Favorite scenes: i think the fireworks and dish washing scene. obviously kiss in the rain too!!! for the first one, it was one of the first things written too, almost no editing there, just deleted some Words and that's it. for the kiss in the rain, same. I Am Just Trying To Give Soogyu Some Cinematic Shit IS IT WORKING????? idk we'll see.
> it's important to me personally that in the market [soobin pushes taehyun towards yj] & the rain [taehyun pushes soobin to bg]
> anyway. i can't believe roadtrip au is almost 20k. do you know how much i despise myself for this <3 [foolish person voice] i thought it was going to be like 12k at BEST. But no....
> and purely for fun: this is the entire trip on maps & this is what the trinibingo looks like for this fic. i am dead ass Never Doing Any Of This Again (or i will try to... i will try my best to not do any of those things again. except for soogyu.)
thank you so much for reading! see you next time (if the next fic also needs notes.... i hope it DOESN'T because that would mean it's long and i don't want to write longfic ever again <3)
