Yoon Jongwoo - Blog Posts

Fanfics are insane because how the fuck does a cannibal maul at your neck and you’re hard, this man’s insane. Wdym you liked it, you were just on the edge of death fucking sicko.

But anyway, the fic is Until Death Do Us Unite by Amethystina on ao3. I’m going insane.

When ones a sociopathic cannibal, and deranged serial killer and the others just mentally ill and is being obsessed over by said killer for literally no reason at all

my favorite couple

And if I applied Preacher's Daughter to SFH, specificall to Moonjo and Jongwoo, then what?

The religious imagery and intergenerational trauma? Not to mention the parental figures who embody some sort of religious figure, and the way they mess up their children through abuse and manipulation, molding them into what they want.

The story is about a kid who ran away from home, "betraying their family", only to be betrayed by the person they though they could trust in the strange new world. They start hallucinating as they are trapped by their lover, before being killed in another wave of religious imagery.

This is applicable to both Ethel (Ptolomea until Televangelism) and Jongwoo.

And, need I even say the romantization of cannibalism? The entire song of Strangers is peak mjjw, honestly.

"Can I be yours? Can I be yours? Just tell me I'm yours If I'm turning in your stomach and I'm making you feel sick"

Tell me this isn't literally Moonjo?

Anyways I'm hella tired but this thought occupied my brain and I had to let it go.

I haven’t written for sfh in AGES but suddenly I had this idea; a house of leaves esque fic where Junghwa finds a notebook of Jongwoo’s, her sort of weird, might-have-gone-missing college friend, in which he discusses the tapes filmed by Moonjo about his weird residence that somehow keeps on growing. The more Jongwoo writes about the tapes, the more he sees things - Moonjo, or his own apartment becoming strange and odd - which he notes down as footnotes. Only, after Junghwa decides that maybe this Moonjo is a place to start searching for Jongwoo, she discovers that neither Eden residence nor Moonjo never existed.

touch down, shutdown;

a fem! mjjw fanfic that's essentially just 3.4k words of soft pwp? thought i'd post about it here too~

Hey, could you tell me a little about "Heart-shaped box" and "Overshot the target"? <3

Ofcc <33

So, "Overshot the target" is not about Strangers from Hell, but a trilogy called The Locked Tomb that's essentially just lesbian necromancers and sword women in space. So it's about Gideon and Harrowhark but a 1960s Summer Camp counselors AU in which they have the same enemies to lovers thing going on that they do in the novels but in a less fantastical setting.

Still not very fleshed out, but I want to make Gideon a muscular jock and Harrowhark a fencer (which is also them in canon but less fantastical xdd)

Probably won't be longer than a One-Shot (albeit a ~20k one xd)

"Heart-shaped box" however is a Strangers from Hell wip. It's a ghost-hunting au sort of?

In this AU Jongwoo moves to a countryside village to get away from his mom and girlfriend (who all live in Busan) bc said village is pretty close to a mysterious hotel that's sort of always been there and due to the surrounding landscape and its location being pretty isolated it's quite beloved by celebrities. But it's also supposedly haunted.

Now this is where another wip (the "herb doctor ghost" one) comes into play, bc I don't know how I want to connect the ideas. But essentially some centuries ago Moonjo was a really skilled doctor who worked a lot with herbs and could seemingly cure anything to the point that he had gotten a reputation. Namely that he was in kahoots with some demonic things, and that was he some sort of witch, which resulted in him being killed.

(I know that shamans or witches in historical Korea being killed was not that common, they were more likely just ostrasized or shunned according to brief research, but for the sake of this AU Moonjo was simply an outlier.)

So now, ~300 years later, Moonjo haunts the grounds on which he was killed, and the hotel that was built on top of them. And Jongwoo and new-found friends in the village decide to go on a little excursion to the hotel and see whether or not it's really haunted.

It might be too much for a one-shot, but maybe 2-3 long chapters like my Crimson Peak AU

Hey love, I did mine here but I need to ask about this "mjjw cherry magic au" because I'm sorry? but that sounds amazing and I need to know more! 😍😂

Oh god yeah my cursed amalgamation of AUs xd

So to any who don't know the (frankly god tier) drama "Cherry Magic", it's a Japanese drama about Adachi who turns 30 while still being a virgin, and magically is able to hear other people's thoughts upon hearing them. Adachi finds out pretty soon that his extremely hot, perfect and charismatic co-worker at his office has got an intense crush on him and after a series of mildly unfortunate events (reference not intended) he slowly ends up falling in love too. 10/10 Very great queer romance.

Anyway, so I kind of headcanon Moonjo as either on the ace spectrum or he is a person who just never really prioritized losing his virginity, not when he was passionate about other things and hadn't found his true masterpiece yet. In this AU, he turns 30 and gets magical ability, which have him a little confused at first, but he soon uses them to his own advantage.

Rather quickly he manipulates his co-workers and bosses by reading their thoughts, achieves what he wants to and ascends to higher positions in the office hierarchy. Not CEO, but he's now got a lot of power over people and the company's decisions.

So, its 5 years later. He's 35, and quite literally stumbles over the new hire, Jongwoo. Upon touching, Moonjo hears heaven's bells a-ringing (jk, he hears Jongwoo bitching about Moonjo walking into him, and he's intrigued). Jongwoo is pretty too, and after "some research" (stalking) he figures out Jongwoo is pretty talented and intelligent as well. And the pursuit continues, but Jongwoo evades him a lot. It's really annoying, bc he always puts too much space between them, and Moonjo can't use his ability to his advantage.

Usually it's not a problem bc people love being around him, handsome face and all. But not Jongwoo. And it makes Moonjo want him even more. He feels like Jongwoo is like him, honest and strong-minded, and that he wants to gain power over others.

So okay, several months later, as they both get off work close to midnight, Moonjo finally manages to do touch Jongwoo (the younger is pretty tired and out-of-it and nearly runs into the street before looking).

And he finds Jongwoo's thoughts to be an odd string of "God that bastard is so fucking handsome I want him to choke me but also I want to punch him in the face because he's so perfect all the time, and also what is it with him grinning all the time and his stupidly pretty eyes, god i HATE HIM"

Also Jieun is his girlfriend but with the same rocky stance, maybe even a little on-and-off. Haven't figured out how to throw in the rest of the characters, but Jaeho is propably Jongwoo's superior who dunks workload on him and Moonjo gets mad about it at some point and politely confronts Jaeho about it. Seokyoon is definitely our sweet over-energetic puppy Rokkaku who's cockblocking Mjjw

AHH sorry for rambling lmao but I have a lot of ~Feelings~ about Cherry Magic and Moonjo and Jongwoo <33

I went to catholic school for 8 years. What else should i do with that other than using my knowledge for religious references and metaphors in queer fanfiction?

Researching for historical fanfictions is definitely one of the best parts of writing. YES I'm going to design a wardrobe for Junghwa and Jieun and YES I want a pinterest board of the architecture and YES I want a list of cultural and socioeconomic facts I can add, but no I don't want to actually write it.

Excuse my dumb au's but i just read the cutest cherry magic au for wangxian and i couldn't help myself.

Moonjo, residential perfectionist and loner working at an insurance company (no sexy murder dentist in this timeline oops), turns 30 while still being a virgin. So, he suddenly has the ability to read other people's minds, and he finds a way to use that to his advantage, and ascend to higher positions in the company.

A couple of years later, Jongwoo starts working at the same insurance company, and Moonjo takes a liking to him. Only Jongwoo always evades and ignores the other so he can't really read his thoughts. But several months later, as they both get off work close to midnight, he manages to do so, and finds Jongwoo's thoughts to be an odd string of "God that bastard is so fucking handsome I want him to choke me but also I want to punch him in the face because he's so perfect all the time, and also what is it with him grinning all the time and his stupidly pretty eyes, god i HATE HIM"

an au that would be funny is, if rona existed when Jongwoo moved into Eden and oh boy oh god now he's quarantined with these creepy people and cannot leave the residence

noir-esque "one-night-stand to enemies to lovers" mjjw set in the late 1920s in which jongwoo is a gritty private detective with anger issues and moonjo a flirtatious but ruthless gang boss

also peep my first attempt at explicit smut, and downwards spiral into my 3rd giant multichapter project (no i'm not ok)

best thing about writing from jongwoo's perspective is the unreliable-narrator aspect: is this really happening? is this moonjo, or an actual person? am i confusing the reader, or spelling out the truth, or does it just seem like i'm spelling out the truth when really it's a hallucination of jongwoo's?

the post-canon demon moonjo au i've been working on, currently supposed to be 8 chapters in total:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/36077299/chapters/89937589

it's going to be quite dark (but i think the fact that it's a. sfh, and b. a demon au, should be enough of a warning), so please heed the tags, and i also experimented a lot with my usual writing style

Realized I've never posted about the gothic romance mjjw au of my dreams that i wrote (essentially a Crimson Peak AU set in the 1890s~)

I had a lot of fun writing in this more poetic, Victorian English, and researching about traditional Korean culture. There'll probably be a third and final chapter, followed by an epilogue:

moonjo and jongwoo:

if the "unhinged and or cannibalistic bisexual x confused normal-ish fruit who unfortunately fell in love with them" trope has a million fans then i am one of them. if it has ten fans, then i am one of them. if it has only one fan then that is me. if it has no fans, then that means i am no longer on earth. if the world is against it, then i am against the world.

So, those posts about 'jagiya' translations into other languages? Yeah, i love them.

Sadly, German has virtually no cute terms of endearment, alas, I put a spin on it: I present to you, Austrian German curse words Jongwoo would use on Moonjo

(Because Austrians looovee swearing and using obscure curse words)

1. Deppata (idiot)

10/10

I feel like it works with the way Jongwoo usually speaks with Moonjo?? I would definitely scream 'deppada' the same way Jongwoo does 'saekkiya', and it can be easily used with other curse words

2. Oaschloch (asshole)

6/10

This is THE word you hear in Vienna lmao, but I think Jongwoo would be too much of a 'countryboy' to actually use that. Plus it doesn't work with the way he yells at Moonjo?? Like I'd use it in a derogatory looking-down-on-someone kind of way

3. Wichsa (literally a man who ejaculates xd)

7/10

Slightly better than 'Oaschloch', but still too calm I think?? Also Moonjo is too elegant for a person I'd typically think to be a 'wichsa'

4. Goschada (annoyingly talkative person)

8.5/10

Moonjo loves annoying Jongwoo with words (and actions, but his creepiness is often conveyed through encouragements and words), and 'Goschada' is PERFECT for that

5. Gfrast (brat)

6/10

Hmmmm not enough anger for me?? I feel like it's used more towards (annoying, malicious) children or younger people, so maybe Jongwoo would use it when Moonjo is really annoying him? Idk

if i ever finish my current drafts, i'd LOVE to write a role reversal of moonjo and jongwoo

okay i posted a prologue for an ao3 demon! moonjo, thinking it would be kept lighthearted, but honestly?? my rough outline is barely finished and wow, this is going to be dark

moonjo as frank n' furter reigning over the other weirdos of the Eden residence, and then there's jongwoo as brad who's got the worst luck apparently

ok what about a less murderous version of sfh with tattoo artist! moonjo who's got like tongue piercings and lots of jewerly, meeting jongwoo who sets up a flower shop under his flat?

-> visual reference if you will (i did this in like 20 minutes lmao something possessed me):

"the creation of adam", or is it really the creation of a god?

i cannot possibly start another piece but:

Bad and Crazy AU where instead of pushing him to do good, and being his conscience, Moonjo is trying to rile Jongwoo, who's a good-hearted albeit unhinged police man, up.

currently rewatching Strangers from Hell again for the new year, and you can straight up see Moonjo fall in love with Jongwoo in real time as he talks about his little pianist murderer
