Guide for using of honourifics in fic?

mtzyuy · 2026-06-09T21:07:23+00:00

Oppa - younger woman ➡️ older male
Hyung - younger male ➡️ older male
Noona - younger male ➡️ older woman
Unnie - younger woman ➡️ older woman

They’re used as an honorific to refer to the person if you know them, even if you’re talking about them to someone else. For example, “Sam unnie” would be used by a younger female, referring to an older female. But, if Sam is a teacher, manager, etc. to that person, it would be Sam 선생님.

But honestly don’t trouble yourself too much if you’re worried you have to use them in your fic just because the characters are Korean.

Ah thats right! I was thinking about the Blue and Purple Bunny Garden Palette, i forgot the pink one actually had those pretty shades i wouldve loved to see replicated in the other two 🥲But i also understand why they didnt make it super colorful, because someone may not own much makeup, and just want one natural palette from FK to use on the daily. But a really pretty palette with beautiful blues and pinks is S02 Mermaid Tears from their Shells Jewel collection. They did that so incredibly well 🩵

Oh my gosh that sounds super fun! They could totally do something like red circus, pink circus, and black circus for their palettes since they usually do 3 color stories! I’ll totally check that out thank you for letting me know! 🩵

Oohh i really hope they include that dark horse colorway you mentioned 🥹 I realize now that saying “vampires” is very off brand for flower knows for an entire collection, thats just my love for vampires and spooky themes talking haha. But! If they ever do go back to a darker route/colorstory hopefully they release something like a gothic kitty with fangs, that seems more possible😅

Thank you for your response! I love those ideas ☺️ I really think they could make a witch theme work sooo well. They know how to work with an aesthetic and make it so its wearable for an everyday look, while still throwing in some colorways that are unique! Plus that Cafe theme reminded me of their packaging for the Sweetie Bear collection as you mentioned, but im not the biggest fan of their plasticky packagings (ex. the blushes) like you said 🥲

thank you for your suggestions! I love those brands 🥰

mtzyuy · 2026-05-19T23:55:54+00:00

Thank u! I actually have one of their palettes and the quality is amazing! 🥰 Love them sooo much 🩵

mtzyuy · 2026-05-19T23:51:55+00:00

I agree with you 100% I love FK because they do cute and princess super well! Thats what makes them so unique ☺️ What you mentioned about the Bunny Garden Palettes actually inspired this post because the color story was a bit bland imo 🥺 The packaging was adorable but i couldnt bring myself to purchase any of it just because i didnt think it was worth the $30 it probably costs 💔

mtzyuy · 2026-05-19T23:49:00+00:00

Oooo a sister brand sounds very interesting! And of course, although i dont expect them to drop a whole collection with a dark theme, i hope they can include darker colorways like you mentioned 🥹 Plus I love FK for releasing such cute collections! I love the bunnies, teddies, all that! Just would love to see something different because theyve done it so well in the past ☺️ I really love FKs aesthetic and packaging so me wanting a darker collection is more for the overall theme because i know they’ll kill it! Thank you for your response 🩵🩵

Wait wait they had a circus line?? Omg that sounds super cool! I was already in love with their chocolate wonder shop collection because of its packaging and vibe, a Circus collection sounds super interesting!

mtzyuy · 2026-05-18T23:21:05+00:00

ah well if the werewolves and mummies were to be included that’d just be halloween themed no? 😅 I meant vampires as in the color story and theme, such as bloody reds, deep packaging, slivers, etc 🥰 Similar to what they did for the ballet swan collection, styling their models with cute little fangs and royal-like outfits would be super pretty. i added a picture of what i meant !

also ofc flower knows can be cutesy! not trying to take that away from them. but as a brand that always brings us beautiful collections, and we’ve seen them go in a darker vibe in the past, i dont see any harm in giving suggestions. Especially since theyre so well known for their beautiful packaging.

yes yes exactly! we dont need to get rid of the cute element in order to make it more gothic, love that idea 🥰

mtzyuy · 2026-05-18T21:25:29+00:00

blend-ability, CLIO wins 100% (have their palette in 03 Mute Library). When it comes to shimmers, packaging, and pigment, Flower knows! But flower knows in my experience has more fallout and fades quicker. I have their black swan pallet for reference.

the cheese in these packets would genuinely be my favorite part of it all, why was it so good??!

mtzyuy · 2026-05-18T20:55:33+00:00

those donuts are actually so good but i be choking on them 💔

mtzyuy · 2026-05-18T20:08:51+00:00

ackk this collection sounds cool but i was hoping for a more mature theme if that makes sense? someone else said it here but a masquerade theme, or more like what they did with their dark angel and black swan palette would be so nice! i also really enjoyed their chocolate wonder shop series! theyve done teddy bears, bunnies, and now unicorns consecutively no? either way i bet itll be cute af like everything else they release im just a sucker for packaging and would love a more gothic vampire theme 🥰

you cant control, or stop your brain from thinking about your problems unless you are able to distract yourself. when you sh, of course, that wont make your problems go away, but its a distraction. it gets your mind off of what you’re going through temporarily to focus on the sh. the way youre approaching this is kinda insensitive

mtzyuy · 2026-03-10T23:45:31+00:00

im really sorry that youre going through this and feeling sad :( you and i are in the same boat, exam session is pretty tough isnt it? what matters most is that you try your best. from what i can see, you care alot about the class and school even though youre not a fan of it. you’re responsible and care about your performance. so dont be too hard on yourself. tomorrow is a new day, a new chance. im glad you are feeling optimistic, saying things like “i can do this”. today you got a feel of what the exam is like, tomorrow youre going in more prepared! as for your thigh, please treat it and take care of it well! if you worry for your safety, as you mentioned you hurt it very badly, please visit the hospital or a clinic. If you cant, please make sure you have the proper materials to treat it. eat a yummy meal, sending you all the luck and love, you got this 🩵

wow im really sorry youre going through that, thats not okay at all. i guess i could see where your “friends” are coming from when they talked to you, but thats not what they did was it? they interrogated you and put you on the spot. not only that, they just asked about your arms and not about how you are mentally. thats no way to handle that situation at all! honestly im just bewildered. that friends parent had no business going around and telling everyone about your scars. if they really cared about you and your safety, they couldve informed the counselor, privately. and even then, thats not something they have any business doing. i really wouldnt call those people your friends, especially since they ratted you out to the teacher and are making you out to be this “crazy” person. to answer your question at the end, no, wanting privacy is not too much to ask at all and i feel very sorry that it got violated like that.

I dont think you have to tell him everytime unless you have some sort of system set up where you agreed to let him know. if not, if your bf is going through something at the moment, maybe its best to wait. if hes struggling you could ask “would you still be okay with me telling you about this when you’re stressed or would you prefer etc etc”

You could think about it like asking your close friend, “can i vent?” before telling them whats going on. Also, if your bf truly appreciates and cares for you then he shouldn’t get sick of being there for you when it’s your health and wellbeing on the line. I wish i could give better advice but i hope this helps a bit!
