THE BIG FAT TIME TRAVEL TEXTING MEME.

How does it work?
- You post your top-level as usual.
- People reply, but the catch is, magical shenanigans intervene and poof! You're getting a text from someone you know, but it's 3 years too early or 10 years too late! What spoilers will you learn? Will you accidentally reveal some of your own?
- You can use this to explore forward-dated scenarios or have characters interact before they "met," or at least before one of them knows they met.
- When you reply, notate in the header when your character's tagging from.

you know you're already that for me, right? you don't doubt that, do you? i came back from the tour because i realized that you were the love of my life, and i couldn't live without you. you must know that already, don't you?

oh, babe, you're just as patient. i get very worked up over you using other people's powers to help them out, even though it hurts you, like kwang's power. but you're just as stubborn as i am about it.

nowadays, it feels quite stupid, like i should have known really, but i think back then, i needed the experience, i needed that moment of realization.

she's like you, too. all wide eyed innocence and cuteness. although nowadays you use that look to your advantage, you're no innocent baby deer anymore

I think so. I'm starting to. It's not that I've ever doubted your feelings. It's just taking me some time to understand I'm the person they're directed at. To know me.

Do you really not like me doing that? But it helps people and it really doesn't bother me to do it.

If it was good for you in the end, I'm glad it happened. I'm sorry it hurt. It still hurts a little, but we're trying to figure out what comes next together and that's the important thing, right?

I'm an innocent baby deer?

it is. it's all for you. i love you so much.

i hate it. i hate that you're accepting that it hurts, like your own feelings don't matter.

you are like an innocent baby deer sometimes. not always. not when you decide to interrupt a rehearsal to ride me while i'm still sitting on the bench, but... there's still so much innocence to you. it's insanely attractive.

I love you a lot, Myung. You help me see there's things about me that are lovable.

I guess there's some things that are going to be really hard for me to learn.

Do I do that a lot? [ Oh no, curiosity strikes. ] What else do I do?

I'm starting to understand now that you find that part of me appealing.

everything about you is lovable.

you're still learning it now...

oh, i've already given you so many spoilers. there are some things you'll have to find out for yourself.

what, the innocence? yeah, it's appealing. you see the world in such bright colors, and everything is interesting to you. and you want to learn everything about everything, it's so amazing.

I feel like there's some magic that lets you see more of me than anyone else. A better me.

Do you think I'm being stubborn?

That's fair. I'm really curious, but it'll be more exciting if I find out on my own.

Does it make you want to learn things too? I always wondered how it made you feel. Because I know you make me feel more. More of everything.

could it be that you open up to me more than you do anyone else? i'm privileged, i get to see all of you.

you're 100% stubborn. but i also understand that you want to help, any way you can. i just hate that you think other people matter more than you do, because nobody matters more to me than you, and nana.

your innocence, your approach to things, it makes me want to be better, and yeah, it makes me want to learn, and teach, and it makes it easier to experience things without feeling disenchanted with the world. you make it exciting again.

It does feel safest when it's with you. Though I think I'm making friends now, you know? There are people I can talk to.

Knowing someone loves me that much just makes me want to help people more.

That's funny. I feel like you do that for me. You make things feel less scary, but also more exciting at the same time. I guess it's not exciting 'again,' since most of the things are brand-new to me, but it still feels like there's things I can only do because you're with me.

oh, yeah, you do have friends. it's good, you need people to complain about me to ;)

i just. i want you to be safe, that's all. i worry. but i know i'm not always fair with it either, i tend to use Namu as a reason for you to not do this anymore, and that's really unfair.

you can really do anything you want, though. all by yourself. you're capable of so, so much, and you barely realize it.

Complain about you? I don't want to do that, Myung. I do like to talk to them about you though.

You're worried I might get hurt and that would hurt her?

Maybe I can. Maybe I learn that in the future. But I'm certain by the time I learn I can do things on my own, I'd much rather be doing them with you anyway. In fact, I'm certain of it.

you say that now, but give yourself the chance.

i'm worried you might get hurt, and she needs you. you're responsible for her, just as much as i am, and how would we cope without you? we wouldn't

there are things you do by yourself, nowadays. you don't always need, or want me to help.

I love you. I only want to say good things about you.

Okay. I'll try to remember that. For her, when I meet her, but for you until then. I'll be careful, I promise.

Do you think that's good? Are you okay with it?

you say that now. wait a few years, i can promise you'll have things to complain about.

i know you are. i know. i'm just a worrier, nothing new here.

it's very good. it's amazing. i've always wanted you to stand on your own two feet, to be independent. you deserve it, and you're more than strong enough for it. i believe in you, unconditionally.

What kind of things?

You do worry about me a lot. It doesn't bother me, it's nice. But sometimes I wish you didn't have to.

I'm sure having someone in my life who has that much faith in me has helped me grow a lot. And that it's you, even moreso.

i snore, these days. and i'm still so stubborn and i still have issues. it's probably really annoying, at this point, for you to have to deal with it, and reassure me all the time

well, don't you worry about me right back? it's just one of the ways we show we care

i'm not the only one. you've got so many friends, and people who love you here.

Snoring couldn't make me love you any less. We're both stubborn and we both have issues. I can't imagine it being annoying. It's just more things we can walk through together. The only bad thing is if we're apart.

I guess that's true. I just wish I could do good for others and not create reasons for you worry at the same time.

I do. I really do. I'm lucky, Myung.

oh no, i don't mean you love me any less. but it doesn't mean that you don't love someone like crazy, even if some things are annoying about them. it's okay to vent, baby.

it's okay, dal. i give you reasons to worry, too. it's only fair, isn't it?

no, we're the lucky ones, to know you.

Do I do that in the future? Vent?

If it means we're on equal footing, then I suppose it is fair. Though the best thing would be no worries. Maybe I'll learn to be more comfortable with that when I get older.

Do you like making me blush?

rarely. it takes a whole lot to get you truly annoyed

i don't think we live in a world where no worries at all is realistic, but. it'd be ideal, yeah.

do i? hell yeah, it's my favorite hobby. making you blush, making you hair turn pink.

I'm glad it's rare. I can't imagine what could make me that upset.

Does that make me an idealist? I wouldn't have guessed.

My hair turns pink when, oh. I get it.

you're not really prone to anger anyway. it's one of these emotions you never really got a grasp of. that, and jealousy. but then i've never given you a reason to be jealous, so maybe that's why.

a bit, yeah. a bit of a dreamer.

do you like when i make you blush?

Why would I feel jealous?

That sounds kind of nice. I like the idea of having dreams. There are things I want to do, after all.

I do, I like it a lot. It usually makes me want to kiss you, unless we already are. Then it makes me want to kiss you more.

if someone flirts with me, in front of you? would that not annoy you?

are they still dreams if you make them come true, though?

good. i pretty much always want to kiss you, you know? it was so hard when we were taking things slow. not at the beginning, but when i left and came back. and then like, around the wedding, too, you really wanted to play along with the traditions

I think so. I'd wonder why they would do that, since you're dating someone else. Is that how you felt when Geun did it to me?

I didn't think of it that way. Do you think I make a lot of my dreams come true?

Do you wish it had been different? At any point? I want you to be happy, you know.

yeah. it eats at me whenever anyone looks or talks to you in a way that shows they're interested in you, in a romantic way. you don't often see it, but i do, and it makes me feel so jealous and possessive, and then i feel bad, because you're your own person. you don't belong to me.

I think you do. A number of them. But you always get new ones.

not at the beginning. it was hard, when i came back, because i didn't know what i could do, and it felt like we were... disconnected, in a way. i was really scared, then.
