hello! i’m not opposed to writing them, but… nothing planned (with them as the main/sole pairing) for the foreseeable future unfortunately. the problem is that i don’t really have any thoughts about them?

in theory i see the appeal of their dynamic and i’m happy reading seolbo fics, but when it comes to thinking my own thoughts, i feel kind of indifferent(?) towards them. i don’t think it’s fair for me to say they’re not a compelling pairing because they do have some interesting dynamics from what i know (and i’m creating relationship tags like nobody’s business for people who have probably spent no more than five minutes in the same frame together anyway), but my head is genuinely empty when it comes to seolbo. i actually have some implied seolbos hidden around and i think it would be fun to write them as a main pairing, but i just don’t have ideas at the moment where i think “omg i need to write seolbo as xxx right now or i will die”

i do think there’s some things that i’ve written where the pairing could very well have been anyone else and the fic only exists because i wanted to write that concept, if that makes any sense. for example, my seolwon fic didn’t have to be seolwon. i really wanted to write a fic based on those two songs and happened to be prompted for seolwon so it happened like that. that’s not to say you can start converting my fics and realise that characterisation does not matter, because there are going to be details or ways in which a character acts that makes more sense for who i wrote it to be. i could as easily give the premise to another pairing, but the way that the details play out, how characters react to situations, those are all going to be different.

all of this being said, anyone is welcome to bait me to write main and non-poly seolbo if that’s what you want to see from me(?) (there’s some vv skilled seolbo-ers already, please give them love instead of mining my empty brain). anyway, if anyone succeeds, i’ll gift the fic to them

(side note: i struggled so much writing that one exlu drabble earlier this year, but tonight i see the vision they’re so cute)
