Bait Lists
A bait list is a list of things someone is interested in creating. It is a cheat sheet to a writer's Achilles' heel, the window to their soul. Wanting to prompt? Have a look here for some inspiration. Baiting makes writers excited about your prompt and increases the chances of it being filled.Content creators, confess your brainrot habits and the media that has you in its clutches. Need ideas?
Please don't reply to bait lists
On dreamwidth, you can't edit a comment once someone has replied to it. Creators, feel free to drop your socials if you want to get yelled at.

wren bait
bias/configurations:
- jeonghan/seungcheol/dk/wonwoo. any configuration of those four.
- been thinking about vernon lately...
- if you throw skz han in there i will probably start spinning like a beyblade
i can be gotten by the question of what comes after but i also enjoy:
- a love triangle, a la challengers or past lives. not a threesome, not a polycule, but a missing third. a rejected third. there is no winning because it was always about the chase.
- grieving for a past self.
- *waves hand* gender stuff and/or the horror of having a body. (sports, idolverse, but in general) you could probably get me to write 'woke up a different sex' even.
- do i want you or do i want to be you? choosing wrong and living with the aftermath. (more specifically: saltburn, jackieshauna from yellowjackets, buffy and faith, jennifer and needy)
- fall out boy lyrics and pete wentz journal posts.
- generally, any sort of bandom rpf-ery overlaid on kpop boys.
- this natalie wee poem.
i'm infrequency on bsky and infrequenced on twt

Re: hwaranghae <3
no subject
- jeonghan character study of any sort
- gyuhan, especially where the vibes are lowkey rancid, but also wonhan, boohan, jihan.
- in terms of non-jeonghan ships: cheolshua, boochan, gyuboo are likely to get me as well
- meditations on idolsona, the private vs. public selves, the sacrifice of personal identity in the pursuit of fame, etc.
- the inability to allow oneself to be loved
- grief
- the passage of time (and the grief that comes with that)
- poetry, especially from the modernist era: yeats, rilke, plath, eliot, auden, etc.
- song lyrics from halsey's 'if I can't have love, I want power' or gang of youth's 'go farther in lightness'
- quotes from otherwise light-hearted tv/movies that have a subtle melancholy to them when looked at more deeply
- but truthfully what really makes my brain go brrrr is quotes from two (or more) unrelated sources, but which touch on a similar idea in different ways
arundels on bsky
can pb even be baited?
- minghao
you can find me as deadwines on twt. happy 17holsing!
bel bait
people & ships:
- joshua hong. joshua hong !!! joshua hong...
- yoon jeonghan
- jihan
- any configuration of 95z + mingyu
- bsk treading the platonic/romantic line with shua, jeonghan, or mingyu
tropes & themes:
- enemies to lovers. exes to lovers. loving someone despite trying really hard not to, for whatever reason. realizing, far too late, that the weird thing beating its way out of your chest was love all along.
- the mortifying ordeal of experiencing an emotion
- identity & questions of the self. where is the line between performance and reality? what does it mean to be known by another when i don't know myself? do i recognize who's in the mirror when i take off this mask?
- third party perspectives on a relationship, especially when that relationship features an incomprehensible dynamic that works despite all evidence to the contrary
inspo:
- poetry, poetry, poetry (ada limon, marie howe, mary oliver, ellen bass, wendy cope, etc)
- quotes from austen works/anne of green gables/old greek plays
- song lyrics from any of hozier's work
now that i've written way too much - find me @ perspicacitiess on twitter (or tbh inbox me here)
