Chocobox 2022 Letter

Hello dear writer! 

Thanks for writing for me! I'm Theo, also known by my urls rythyme and pugglemuggle. You can find me on tumblr as well as on my two twitter accounts: my main account and my thai drama twitter.

This letter is designed to provide a few extra options for you. I'll list some things I like in general and then I'll provide some optional prompts for each of the fandoms I requested to help give you some inspiration. All prompts are optional. I'm pretty easy to please - I love to read a lot of things so I hope it won't be too hard to find something we're both excited about!

Fandom-Specific Prompts & Info

Until We Meet Again
Thai LGBTQ+ Romance Drama | Available Legally w/ Subtitles on YouTube

Win/Team

- Hidden Relationship or Relationship Reveal: I’d love to see some shenanigans as Team and/or Win try to keep their relationship (romantic, FWB, or otherwise) a secret. Alternatively, how do other characters find out about their relationship?

- More "Sweet Moments": I'd love to see more scenes like those ones from the Between Us Special. Cute, meaningless scenes are lovely!!

- Disaster Couple is Disastrous: i'd love to see what shenanigans these two get up to during their fits of dumbassery. perhaps they dig themselves into a deeper and deeper hole while trying to explain why they're always in each other's rooms. Maybe they have to convince the rest of the swim team that mosquitos like Team way more than everyone else (hence him being the only one with mysterious bugbites). Any kind of comedic scene with these two is great! Bonus for banter.

Dean & Win

- Commiserating over adorable boyfriends: Any scene where Dean and Win chat about their respective relationships would be nice! I'm particularly interested in seeing these two interact like the best friends they are. Bonus points for banter and friendly teasing.

- Dean and Win talk about Team: Maybe Dean gives relationship advice. Maybe Dean saw something he probably wasn't supposed to and feels the need to come clean about it. Maybe is feeling a little protective and doesn't want Win to get his feelings hurt. Any of the above would be super interesting to me!

DNWs: Dubcon or noncon, break-up fic, major character death, infidelity (consensual non-monogamy is okay), whump / hurt no comfort (hurt WITH comfort is okay), extensive depictions of biphobia or homophobia


Cherry Magic
Japanese LGBTQ+ Romance Drama | Available on Crunchyroll

Adachi/Kurosawa (&Fujisaki)

- Office flirting: I’d love to see some classic secret workplace romance flirting shenanigans. Does Kurosawa really need to stand that close to teach Adachi how to use the new copy machine? Rokkaku wants to know why Adachi gets a special lunch and he doesn't. One of them does something that is by all rights innocuous (maybe unintentional?) and the other is consumed with horny thoughts for the rest of the evening. Perhaps Fujisaki notices and tries to cover them or help them out.

- Adachi and Kurosawa Meet Fujisaki's Mom: Adachi makes good on his offer and Fujisaki has a very pleasant dinner party with two of her work friends and her mother. Perhaps some long overdue or difficult conversations are had, but in the end everything turns out okay.

Bad Buddy
Thai LGBTQ+ Romance Drama | Available Legally w/ Subtitles on YouTube

Pat/Pran

- Competitive Flirting: These two are competitive as hell and I simply do not believe that the competitive flirting would stop even after the "bet" was over. Maybe Pran gets a little braver about showing affection in public. Maybe Pat responds in kind. Maybe Pran takes home the gold by doing something subtle and innocuous that he knows will drive Pat up a wall. Could also use this to fill in some missing scenes during the time skip!

- More Shenanigans from the Secret Dating Era: While the situation itself is actually rooted in angst, I'm a sucker for secret relationship shenanigans. Is that a bug bite on your neck, Pran? Perhaps they cut a clandestine meetup a little too close. Maybe Pa finds something vaguely incriminating in their room one day. Feel free to be creative :)

Ink & Pat

- Platonic Coffee Date: Something LGBT is happening to these two and I want them to talk about it like the wonderful queer besties they are. There's nothing I love more than the casualness and banter that comes from two bi characters who used to have crushes on each other. Peak mlm/wlw solidarity.

- Going Shopping: I genuinely love Pat's wardrobe as a viewer but also. it does need a little help. I think Ink can help Pat diversify his clothing options a little so he's not just wearing muscle tanks to all his dates with Pran. Bonus points if they end up getting the same clothes because I think Ink would look spectacular in a partly unbuttoned hawaiian shirt.

Pa & Pat

- Sibling Banter: Maybe Pa teases Pat about Pran. Maybe Pat teases her right back about Ink. Any banter between the two of them acting as siblings do would be lovely.

- Pat Helps Pa with Ink: Let's pull that uno reverse card and have Pat be the one who helps Ink out with her romantic endeavors. Pat provides advice, a setup, a good word, etc. Bonus if you mix in some of that sibling banter!

Ink/Pa

- Pining: From either character's perspective, whether they know they're in love or not! I'd love to see some longing looks, a heart skipping a beat, an inability to keep from blushing at just a small touch. Can be a little angsty if you'd like to throw in the "thinks its unrequited" vibes.

Utsukushii Kare
Japanese LGBTQ+ Romance Drama | Available on GagaOOlala

Hira/Kiyoi

- Post Canon: I’d love to see a scene where they're trying to navigate actually being a couple. Is it difficult to shake old habits? I'd imagine it's a little strange for both of them - but good, too.

- Kiyoi's Perspective / Missing Scenes: I would be super interested to see a few more scenes from high school where Kiyoi is only just figuring out that he likes men and that he likes Hira specifically.

Kieta Hatsukoi
Japanese LGBTQ+ Romance Drama | Available on Viki

Aoki/Ida

- First Kiss: Feel free to take this however you'd like - awkward and nervous, casual and unexpected, or fairy tale perfect.

- Aoki & Internalized Homophobia: While Aoki is quick to identify and acknowledge his feelings, I think he really struggles to accept himself for those feelings. I think there is a part of him that still thinks his own feelings are strange or gross, and I'd love to see that explored or confronted -- preferably with his boyfriend (and maybe his friends!) being supportive and helpful about it.

Aoki & Hashimoto

- Shenanigans: These two are both smart but when you put them together, dumb things often happen. Case and point: the wilderness retreat. I'd love to see more shenanigans like their terrible food foraging misadventures. Perhaps they go gift shopping for their boyfriends together and things go terribly wrong?

- Talking About First Relationships: Hashimoto and Aoki are both very shy about their feelings, but at least they have each other to talk about this stuff with! Maybe they talk about kissing and their anxiety about how to initiate it. Or maybe they reminisce about what it felt like to hold hands with their boyfriends for the first time.

The Whole Crew

- Double Date!: I'd love to see these four on a double date, maybe to a cafe, a restaurant, a carnival, the movies. Bonus points for Aoki starting to feel more comfortable expressing affection for Ida in public (though no need for him to feel totally ready just yet!)

- Supportive Friends: Someone is feeling a little down or a bit hurt, and the rest of the gang is their usual supportive selves.

Not Me
Thai LGBTQ+ Crime/Romance Drama | Available Legally w/ Subtitles on YouTube

Sean/White

- An "Oh" Moment: Either character is fine, but I'd love to see a scene where they finally realize they're in love with the other one. Bonus points if it's while they're doing something innocuous, like fixing a bike or offering some food or something.

- Last-Minute Confession: Sometime later in canon these guys are going to be getting into more life threatening situations, and someone's going to want to share their feelings in case they don't get another chance. Alternatively, could happen after the life threatening situation - e.g. "Holy shit we almost just died, I can't believe I'm alive, I need to kiss you."

Dan/Yok

- Dan's Perspective: As of now, we don't know much about Dan in the show. I'd love to see things from his perspective a bit. Perhaps he's curious about Yok as well, even as he tries to run away from him. Feel free to make up your own theories or use whatever comes out next in the show!

- Cat & Mouse Through Street Art: I would really really love to see Yok chasing after Dan enough that it becomes something of a game. Perhaps Dan starts leaving subtle messages in his art or his IG posts to see if Yok will be able to find him. Basically, what if Dan *wanted* Yok to chase him?

Sean/Black

Exes or Almosts: I am CONVINCED that Black and Sean have some kind of history and I would absolutely love to see that theory expanded on. Give me a scene from their past together! Did Sean join this gang for Black? Feel free to go with whatever interpretation you choose, requited or unrequited, exes or rejected confessions, one night stands, etc. etc.
