time travel texting.
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.

oh hey, yeah, i didn't even think of that, but it's true, right? that must be a good thing. i asked him for completely different reasons but yeah.
yeah well, so can you, afterwards! i'm just saying, it's a stupid tradition, but i guess if he's already dressed i don't want to mess that up.
although, i do.
no subject
because you love him?
you've got it bad for him. though i guess you know that if you're getting married! ah, i can't wait to see it for myself.
are you going away together after?
no subject
Yeah, because I love him, and he’s the best person, and he’s like, my biggest role model when it comes to successful relationships, and he’s just... so good. And I wanted to involve everyone as much as I could into things.
I mean, even for you that can’t be news, right? Dal changed everything for me.
Yeah, only a few days, though. We’re not going far, just a beach house a couple of hours away.
no subject
he is really good. it's hard not to look up to them, isn't it? they're so strong for each other. that's a good thing to want, i think. i'm sorry time traveling weirdness made you worry about my part in your wedding.
no, it's not. i can tell a difference in you since he's been in your life. a big one. it's nice to see you smiling more. and i mean, i knew it was different the moment you came to me and said you wanted to be with him only.
do i know where that is? in the future? because there could be some nice stuff to do in the ocean around there! i could set you up with some fun stuff!
no subject
they are really good role models. but you know, so are you guys. you and kwang and junsu and jin, like. the way you make things work between all of you, how you navigated the issues. it's quite amazing.
i can't believe i'm getting married. me! you'd have told me that a few years ago, i'd have run away.
i mean, can it really be stuff we can do if we can't breathe underwater?
no subject
seriously though, you know i'm happy if we could help. i want you to know you helped too though. you helped me feel like i could talk about what i was feeling. that helped me with kwang. and i hope it helps with junsu and jin.
when we met, i would've guessed you might not want to get married, it's true! i suppose for some people, it really does take meeting that special person, hm?
i can take care of that, too! not many land dwellers can have an underwater honeymoon, huh? that'd be special!
no subject
i did? huh. i didn't - i never realized you needed help with that. you're so confident, in yourself and your feelings. or at least it feels like that.
when we met, i didn't want to get married. but yeah, yeah. dal's that special. we've had our ups and downs, you know? i've been terrified. but we've worked through it, we've talked through things a lot. we've been patient. i guess maybe that was the key, for me - none of my relationships before were based on much communication. it was always about sex, not talking. he changed that.
can you, really? you don't have to do all that, though. you don't have to go out of your way for us!
no subject
i used to be sort of all or nothing. if i felt like i could show something, i did it without being ashamed. if i felt even a little bit of doubt, i hid it. deep, deep down. about my brother, about junsu. whenever i felt unsure, i always tried to cover those things with things that made me feel comfortable. you're one of the people who helped me know i didn't have to do that. that it was okay to be all of me, not just the parts that felt comfortable.
i bet communicating makes lots of things easier. and better, right? i mean it in serious ways, but also the ways where your eyebrows waggle, too.
really though, i'm so happy you have that. i really am. it makes me feel good to know that someone i love so much is happy with someone who loves and cherishes him.
yes, of course! it could be my wedding gift to you! or part of it. i'm guessing i have other ideas, too.
no subject
so, communication changed things for you too, huh. in the end, it's the same thing, it's just about showing these parts of you that you worry about. right? i'm glad i could help, but i think it's mainly you. you did the hard work.
ahh, well, yeah. i love him so much. and you, too. you deserve all the happiness in the world, tennie
other ideas? i probably shouldn't ask, huh?
no subject
and i think you did the work, too. in that case, wouldn't you say we both earned happy endings? we both changed a lot and learned a lot from the people we were with. i think we learned from each other.
it's amazing to think you're getting married! i mean, i can sort of tell even now. dal's really, really in love with you. and i know your relationship meant some big changes fro you, too. it makes sense, the two of you. it makes me happy.
you'll find out, i'm sure! very soon!
no subject
well i'm really, really in love with him, too. head over heels, stupid about it in love with him. it should be terrifying, but instead it's just... right. i'm sure you know what i mean
no subject
i do know. i like seeing it on you, it's such a nice look. you're pretty smitten! it's good. you deserve to have good feelings fill you up from your toes to your head.
no subject
hey, you too. although considering what you're doing right now, i feel like it's happening
no subject
i'm not going to live that down for awhile, am i?
no subject
no, you are not. i'm going to give you so much shit for abandoning me in my hour of need to get some nookie
no subject
you wouldn't say that if you knew how romantic he is!
no subject
wouldn't i? you're still left me here to stress out, that's not very best friend-y of you
i'm calling junsu
no subject
you wouldn't! i swear you wouldn't.
what if he's busy too? what if everyone's sooo inspired by your love!
no subject
wouldn't i?
well if everyone's inspired by my love, i am barging in mine and my future husband's room to get some inspiration, too
no subject
i mean it. kwang's the most romantic person i know. i'm so in love with him they don't have a word for it. i'm sure it's way more when you're from.
hm, it's not traditional, but maybe you can just make your own tradition!
no subject
you're cute.
i doubt dal would appreciate it, honestly. he's been a stickler for the 'proper' traditions
no subject
not as cute as he is.
that's pretty sweet. he's such a great guy.
