Coterie Final Update :(

coterie final update :(

as much as it pains me to say this, I have decided that I will not be writing coterie any further. I’ve hit immense writer’s block with the story, and I’m not motivated in the slightest bit to write anymore of it. I have other ideas that I would rather write, so I’m sorry to anyone who’d been waiting to read more. I thank you all for your support and love as always, and I hope to write new content for you guys.

medical!au x dream, sungchan and shotaro

I wrote a medical!au x nct 127 and I was like,,, it only makes sense if I do the rest of the members, too! mark and haechan are going to be in the nct 127 version here. medical!au x wayv’s coming soon!

I feel like renjun is the type to consider something a little more artistic in the medical field, which is why I feel like he’d be an orthotist. he’d design prosthetic limbs in the labs for children, veterans, or adults, and whenever he’d get an order, he’d spend days on it. his friends went out those weekends, but renjun stayed in, his espresso steaming on his work desk and his glasses perched on his nose as he scrolled and edited his prosthetic design. he never made the same one twice. of course, if someone damaged their old one, renjun repaired it instead of creating a whole new one, but these prosthetics were designed for permanent-use. he’d finish off with his signature emblem before giving it one last check then giving it to the hospital.he’d insist the doctors to invite him when they wore it for the first time, just to see the look on their faces and the absolute joy they’d receive from being able to use it for the first time. it’s not a steady job, sure, but it sure as hell is fulfilling and that’s all renjun would ask for.

so I kinda just imagine jeno being a psychiatrist… I imagine him taking notes as he carefully listens to his patients. jeno’s very attentive to detail, and just shortly after his undergrad, he interned with a psychiatrist who helped him learn more about what goes on behind the scenes, and he really impressed the interviewers at his medical school with all that he learned. soon after earning his degree, he went to work for the same psychiatrist that he’d interned with and his patients loved him. the one moment that jeno will never forget is when he had a patient who was battling severe depression. it wasn’t until jeno arrived on their case that they began to show improvement. they smiled for the first time in months, and within a year the patient was miraculously much better. before they left, they thanked and hugged everyone, but jeno received the biggest thanks and the tightest hug. 

okay, the reason I think jaemin would be interested in becoming an orthopedic surgeon ever since he had back problems in high school. he was fascinated by all the cool diagrams of skeletons, and his doctors had explained his injury so well to him, that it inspired him to strive for orthopedics as a specialization. he did really well on his entrance exams, and he managed to come full circle, and become a resident at the hospital he was treated in. as an orthopedic surgeon, jaemin makes sure to inform his patients as much as he can. sometimes, he’ll even call them at odd times to let them know if there are any changes he’s decided to make regarding the surgery, or aftercare, whatever. jaemin’s a trustworthy doctor, and his patients never seem to forget him, even if it’s a while after he’s healed them.

chenle as a medical technologist is a little unexpected. when he hangs around his friends during his free time, and you can hear his laughter down the hallways, you wouldn’t think he’s the guy who is counting blood cells under a microscope. but he’s very detail-oriented, and always impresses his supervisor. it’s also not a job that is as demanding in the knowledge of science, since he really needs to be able to distinguish what is normal over what is not, which he loves. in his free time- which there’s not too much of, but in the rare occurrences he does- he likes to either visit his friends, resident!jisung or physicaltherapist!mark who’s in the next building. another admirable thing he’ll do, though, is he’ll stop at the pediatrics floor and play with the kids that come in for blood transfusions or testing, since he’ll have their blood supply to give to the doctors, or he’s there to collect the samples. and sometimes, a parent will thank him for all his help and he can’t help but blush because, well, it makes him happy to help others.

jisung is totally a resident. no questions, it just makes sense. the fact that he knows people at the hospital was one of the reasons he applied for residency there, because he went to medical school with some of the (now) workers. when he finds out he’s accepted, he’s over the moon. generally hangs around by chenle’s department, where the front office of the hospital is. takes care of checking in patients and directing people to different areas of the hospital, while doing checkups on patients and the other thousand things his seniors assign him. although he enjoys the work he does, he doesn’t know if he wants to specialize or stay as a general physician, which his friends also help him decide down the line. he knows that no matter what, he wants to end up back in this hospital because it's like a second home to him. 

sungchan works as a physician’s assistant. initially also wanted to pursue medicine as a whole but he had this… feeling? that medicine was going to wear him out faster than he wanted to, and he felt that he was the type to burn out easily. not to mention, he also wanted to have free time on the side; conveniently, this job provided him with just what he wanted. the hospital was right outside a neighborhood park that also needed volunteers for coaching little kids. turns out, the way his schedule is at the hospital, he takes the morning shift at the hospital, gets out at 2:30, then stops at his apartment nearby to nap and freshen up before coming to the park and coaching soccer in the evenings. it’s the perfect life for him and hasn’t been happier. 

finally, seeing shotaro as a veterinarian is ideal for him. I mean, have you seen the guy? he’s so gentle and soft, it’s no wonder he’s amazing with animals. he grew up near an animal shelter in japan, where he visited the animals as often as he could. the vet that would visit the shelter often saw him, amused by the way he handled the animals with care. naturally, the vet talked to shotaro about considering veterinary school as a potential career choice, and at first, he didn’t really pay too much attention to the vet’s words. but one day, when one of his favorite pups wasn’t as energetic as she usually was, shotaro took her to the vet’s office, and he learned that the puppy had hyperglycemia. since then, he knew that he never wanted to feel that way again, and persevered to become a vet. now, he lives in korea and runs a clinic there, and that puppy from the clinic? he ended up adopting her and bringing her to korea with him and it’s just the cutest thing.

truly pissed me off when trei, seventeen and woodz disappeared from my liked songs. TRAGIC

Kakao M count your FUCKING DAYS BRO

that’s disrespectful. regardless of who supports who, you shouldn’t ever wish bad things for an artist. you don’t know how long it’s taken them to write, record, go back and edit, etc. for their album. people spend sleepless nights working on them so you have no right giving anyone any shit. 

what

writer’s tag!

thank you @kyuwoyo for tagging me in this!! you seem really sweet and i’ve been loving your recent works!

which new trope would you like to try writing? I wanna try writing a e2l but kinda gradually build up to that relationship so i’m probably gonna start small then kinda work my way up! I also wanna do something horror-based!

which trope do you want to write again? I wrote/am still writing a mafia!au and I had a lot of fun with some of the older tropes I incorporated into that so maybe something along those lines!

which drafts are you most excited to post? right now a lot of them are still ideas?? hahaha but there is something I wanna start on asap, along the lines of rival camp counselors, mayhaps???

new genre you want to explore? hmmm maybe sci-fi? I really like the variety that’s in that genre. also horror, mystery and thrillers? I don’t do a lot of that on this blog, but I feel like I have enough background to write about that stuff!

do you have a favourite line in any of your drafts right now? “stoner? I prefer the word... cannabis enthusiast. or I guess, that’s two words.”

have you decided on any creative goals for 2021? maybe to think a little more realistically. I thought I would be able to crank out all these series, but it’s so difficult while also being a student and I work, too. I’m just gonna take it slow and focus on quality over quantity.

describe your journey on this blog in the last year in three words! and three more words for what you hope for 2021! for the past year, I would say: didn’t think realistically... I’ll be honest, in the beginning of 2020, my blog had been blowing up because of my x1 series, and they soon disbanded after that which meant either people lost interest or they didn’t want to read it anymore. I was very quickly starting to lose motivation to continue writing, period. however, I came out of that, and still have decided to finish the series, as well as expand on my main purpose, which was writing for nct. I hope that 2021 brings: even better stories. I have some ideas that I’m really excited to bring out from the drafts, and I hope that once they are out, they do well :)) 

i’m tagging @strawbwrry , @hwayoungscorpioshin and @arckook whoever wants to (also I want some more moots 🥺 so literally if anyone wants to be moots, just tag me in your version of this!!)
