Hiiiii i haven't been here in a while since i was busy with work but i just wanna ask if your bringing back Vanilla soon? Idk if you still remember that though, i was the one who requested it
@klline_ When Seb puts a book in his drafts it's always for a reason-his bio explains that if you haven't read it yet. "Vanilla" will come back when and if Seb feels it's good enough for us to read !!
OWWWWW your theme is sooooo cute, i mean, its hoon (｡♡‿♡｡)
visions is literally has a special place in my heart. i keep rereading it over, and over. i seriously love it so much. i love heehoon and i love angst, and the book itself is so well written (like all of your books). my comfort book fr
You’re so real for this, I find myself rereading it over and over again and never getting tired of it. It’s just too good. Visions and video game lover have a special place in my heart I’m so glad seb keep them on this account for now <3

“HOUSE” is going back into drafts for a super quick rewrite. I just want to add more tension and lean harder into the 'falling in love and obsession' vibes. It won’t take long, like, max 5 days.
I’m fixing a few plot holes, adding some more lore, some extra flashbacks from Heeseung’s life. Also, there are a bunch of scenes I lowkey hate and want to redo.
I wanna do the same with "Jolt" later, but I’m working on one book at a time so it doesn’t look like I’m constantly dumping my books back into drafts. I tweak stuff the second it feels even a little off, and it genuinely keeps me up at night. This isn't funny.
@lucrvlrn Sometimes the results of what we do aren't what we expected, but that doesn't mean we are bad. I love you just the way you are. And you have every right to take as much time as you want. It's your decision. Also cover of 'Jolt' is so good and don't ever stress about that because any of your books has the best covers I have ever seen
@lucrvlrn omg km crying why do you do this with my favorite onesㅠㅠ, well, if you say you will make it even better, ill be happily waiting(i dont hate jolt cover, its cute(｡• ᵕ •｡)
KEPT.
TikTok didn’t just change music discovery, it flattened it. Songs don’t get listened to anymore, they get sampled by the algorithm. One catchy beat drop goes viral, and the rest of the track might as well not exist. Artists aren’t building albums, they’re making 15bsecond moments that can survive the fyp. If it doesn’t slap instantly, we skip. Zero patience.
The fyp feeds you the same five sounds until your brain thinks that’s what music is. Mid tracks blow up if they fit a dance, edit, or meme, while actual long form songs get buried. We’re not discovering music, we’re looping trends. And as in WE, I'm not talking about ME. This is consumption over appreciation.
We scroll all day, hear stuff in edits, but barely stream the full song. Then a track goes mega viral, you hear it 500 times in a week, and suddenly it’s cringe. We don’t even get nostalgia anymore, trends move too fast to get emotional.
And yeah, the worst part? Artists feel forced to chase the sound of the week instead of making something personal. Smaller creators tweak their style to fit whatever’s viral, and that's it. The pressure to go viral is exhausting.
People love to say there are “no more gatekeepers” because anyone can blow up overnight without labels or radio, but the new gatekeeper is the algorithm, and it’s way more ruthless. Tiktok didn’t just mess with music discovery, it cooked our attention spans too. We trained ourselves to need dopamine in 15 seconds or we’re out. That’s on the app, but it’s also on us.
And if you swear tiktok ruined music but your spotify wrapped (nobody asked, I don't even use spotify) is 90% viral sounds..congrats, you’re part of the system you’re mad at. An NPC. Now music has to earn your attention in 15 seconds or it dies. That’s not evolution, that’s speedrunning burnout for both listeners and artists.
@lucrvlrn This is why when you put the playlists in the chapters of books, I cherish them. Your taste in music is beautiful, and while it might not be completely similar to mine, it's still beautiful. People who just base their music taste on what's trending or what others like isn't the worst thing ever, but then we know they don't have opinions. Tiktok did "ruin" (don't know if that's the right word) music discovery cause they play the "best part" or the "catchiest" part of the song just to get people's attention. Thank you for bringing this up.
@lucrvlrn I only read one paragraph and I already completely agree with you. I absolutely love music, but in these days? What is music today? I miss when musics had a meaning, because it means so much to me, SO much, that seeing music becoming tiresome and repetitive upsets me.
I don't think I love anything as much as I love music. People are on a 0% for me comparing to music.
Stop thinking about relationships and get a life, guys.

just can't break it. ”
