AKA. = ‘hybe’s ace duo!’ - alt. violetz. ִֶָ 𓂃⊹ ִֶָ
DYNAMIC’’
silent listener! (aohi) + rambling nerd! (hee) ⋆。˚𖦹
HCS!
Heeseung was always the one who listened to everyone’s problems, if one of the boys were upset, or if two of his members argued, he was there to listen to both sides, and he was fine with that. Although, he does admit it felt a little lonely.
Aohi changed that for him. At the start, he felt weird at the thought of sharing his feelings. So he mostly rambled about nothing and everything to Aohi.
Aohi happily listened to Heeseung’s soft words and sudden thoughts that he would blurt out around her.
Heeseung and Aohi are both known as one of the maturer members of ENHYPEN, but as soon as they’re alone together they’re turned into giggling toddlers. (source: EN-log; Aohi Day.)
When they first met, Aohi and Heeseung was like a cat who didn’t like it’s new siblings. If Aohi ever tried to even come close to Heeseung, he’d swat her away.
Heeseung’s favourite thing to do with Aohi is play LoL. Aohi doesn’t fairly enjoy the game, partly because she’s more FPS based, but she likes to bond with Heeseung.
There’s a running joke that Aohi is the boyfriend between the two, Heeseung acting a bit of a babygirl around her.
For example: Aohi and Heeseung watching LoL streams and Aohi praises said streamer, and Heeseung will want some praises as well.
“bunny, me too right? I’m good at it too, right?” - que sigh, “yes, seungie, you too.”
Aohi’s favourite thing to do with Heeseung is sleep, it’s not uncommon to know that despite being the eldest, Heeseung’s the last to wake up between the boys, therefore, he’s the best pillow.
Aohi knows if she sleeps in Heeseung’s bed, the boys don’t have the heart to wake either of them, even if they were late.
“Aohi!— oh.. oh no.. she’s sleeping with Heeseung..” “wake her up then!” “But… :( they’re sleeping..” “SUNOO!”
shared fav foods: pizza.

motherly! (aohi) + fatherly! (jay) ⋆。˚𖦹
HCS!
Aohi and Jay kind of took on the parental role of the group, Aohi, despite being part of the maknae line, Aohi’s maturity puts her as one of the elders basically.
I think that’s one of the many things Jay admires about her. The way she’s able to take care of things and manage her time and emotions effortlessly.
They’re what you’d expect from a married couple honestly.
Their habits of watching whatever on the TV, or the way they seem to just communicate telepathically whenever they’re cooking in the kitchen together.
Jay thinks Aohi is an ideal person to be with long-term, he answered her as the most ideal person to marry. (A fan had asked during a fan meet.)
Jay’s favourite thing to do with Aohi is bake, there was more than enough times where Jay was actually able to have some childish fun.
The members remember well when Jay and Aohi were left in the dorms, and the kitchen looked like a mess, with icing everywhere on the two’s faces.
Aohi’s personality with Jay is like a doting wife, to her hard-working husband.
That’s probably why Jay’s saved as Hubby on her phone, and her saved as Wifey on the boy’s phone.
Their favourite inside joke, Jay slipped on some mix while they were making meringues for Sunoo’s birthday, and ever since then, “meringue boy” was Aohi’s nickname for Jay.
“chop chop, meringue boy.” — “Call me that again and I’ll stop making you food.” — “YOU CAN’T STARVE ME!”
Aohi’s favourite thing to do with Jay is go shopping, Jay and Ni-ki are, in her opinion, one of the best dressed and the best at finding outfits at shops.
“Jeongie, this look good?” — “looks perfect, batsy.”
the stylists adore jaohi because they’re the duo that they love matching together the most.
now the stylists have a schedule on when they get to style jaohi.
shared fav foods: pasta — specifically, carbonara.
favourite date: swimming in bangkok.
matching plushies: black cats (dressed repectively as their parents)

black cat! (aohi) + golden retriever! (jake) ⋆。˚𖦹
HCS!
Jake and Aohi had the most difficult time period with getting along, like cats and dogs, you could say. (haha, pun.)
Aohi had a bit of a hard time getting used to Jake being affectionate towards her because before Aohi debuted she and Jake were the ones likely to argue all the time.
And it always resulted to Aohi winning. Think as in, Dog bothers cat so cat swats dog and Dog ends up whimpering away.
Although, Aohi (doesn’t like to admit it) does have a soft spot for Jake.
Jake sometimes has a hard time falling asleep and when he does, he goes to Aohi’s bed where they cuddle to sleep.
Jake tries to be affectionate with Aohi a lot because he does feel guilty for fighting with her all of the time during her pre-debut days.
Jake thinks that with him bothering her all of the time during pre-debut, Aohi probably had a harder time. So he tries to make it up to her, by basically doing everything for her.
Aohi does appreciate his gestures and knows he’s guilty of their past. Aohi tries to soothe his guilts to the best of her ability.
Jake is like Heeseung in a way, always wanting her eyes on him, if Heeseung buys her a cookie? He’ll buy a jar full of cookies, Sunghoon buys her a perfume? He’ll buy her favourite perfume.
basically, if anyone goes low, he goes lower.
Their favourite topic to talk about is basically pets, Aohi has two family pets, named Chewy and Mochi. Both cats.
Obviously Jake loves Layla, but he tends to bicker with Aohi because he likes the way her eyebrows furrow when she’s frustrated, he thinks it’s cute.
“I’m not saying cats are better than dogs, I think Layla is cute and you’re just putting words in my mouth!” — “nuh uh.” — “FUCK YOU MEAN NUH UH???”
Jake’s favourite thing to do with Aohi is taking their pets for walks. Surprisingly Aohi’s pets are outdoor cats, and they enjoy taking walks with Layla.
Jake thinks that Aohi walking their pets is a very domestic task to do and basically adores it.
“Yah, Layla! Slow down! Yah, Sim Jaeyun! Help me control your daughter!” — “aigoo… she’s just happy to be walking with her sisters and mama.” — “JAKE WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW.”
Jake practically has the biggest heart eyes for Aohi and Aohi doesn’t know how to deal with that.
shared fav foods: pad thai.
favourite date: dog park with Layla and the kitties.
matching plushies: pochaco and chococat.
best aohyun era: come 2 me, weverse-con performance.

ice princess! (aohi) + ice prince! (sunghoon) ⋆。˚𖦹
HCS!
Visual overload, that’s what I’d call it, Aohi and Sunghoon bring the most visuals out of any event ever.
Engenes on Twitter love it so much in fact, that there’s threads of the outfits Aohi and Sunghoon have both worn matching.
Sunghoon and Aohi are the type of people to have silent conversations in a room full of people, enjoying each other’s silent gazes rather than speaking outwardly.
Despite their, rocky start (in rocky start I mean, Sunghoon was pretty much awkward with Aohi, pre-debut.) Aohi and Sunghoon are pretty funny together.
Sunghoon is actually the funniest member of Enhypen, and Aohi is his apprentice. Sunghoon loves to teach her his puns, it’s like their favourite thing to do.
Their victims mostly consist of Jungwon and Jay. The only difference is that they hate when Sunghoon does it but laughs when Aohi makes a joke.
The favouritism is so real, it’s crazy.
Aohi enjoys being around Sunghoon when she needs a break from talking or being social. They mostly don’t, but when it does get too much, Aohi seeks Sunghoon out.
Their favourite thing to do is definitely ice skate, she’s not better than Sunghoon, but she knows how to keep up with him.
Sunghoon and Aohi definitely have danced on the ice together, if not all the time.
“Oh my god, hoon, hoon! I’m gonna fall!” — “you’re literally dragging me down! Of course we’re gonna fall!”
Sunghoon loves when Aohi holds onto him on the ice, it makes him feel very loved and needed.
Aohi thinks his boyish charm is very adorable, and has no issue feeding into the boy’s satisfaction.
“Hoon-ah, want to eat grapes with me?” — “eung! let’s go, bunny.”
Aohi loves to dote on the boys a lot, mostly Ni-ki and Sunghoon though because— well, they’re the ones who got close to her first.
Sunghoon believes Aohi to be one of the best people to talk to, she’s very good at listening and he depends on her to listen when he and the boys fight.
shared fav foods: tiramisu.
favourite date: ice skating.
matching plushies: mini hoon and aohi plushies.

DYNAMIC’’
sunshine protector! (aohi) + sunshine! (sunoo) ⋆。˚𖦹
HCS!
Now, new engenes tend to mistake ages a lot between Sunoo and Aohi, more people actually think Aohi is older than Sunoo!
Reason being is that, basically, Aohi acts like a bodyguard to Sunoo. She’s never not on Sunoo’s side, an arm around the boy’s shoulder like it’s some kind of avril lavigne song.
Behind the scenes though, Sunoo dotes on Aohi more than anyone in enhypen.
Sunoo and Aohi both definitely compliment each other in terms of personality, Sunoo has a bright mindset while Aohi has a more nightly perspective.
In other terms, Aohi and Sunoo complete each other as the Sun and the Moon.
Sunoo and Aohi also play a lot of video games with each other! Their favourite thing to play together is Animal crossing: New Horizons, they def have matching islands together as well.
Sunoo also appreciates Aohi a lot, Sunoo is the most prone to getting sick, and tends to stay home more often than any of the boys and Aohi loves keeping him company most days.
Sunoo thinks that Aohi is very caring, but It does worry him that she might be too caring about others that she forgets to take care of herself.
Sunoo’s favourite thing to do with Aohi is eat! If not for the way these two’s fox characteristics beat their love for food, their duo name would’ve been foodiez.
Aohi thinks that it’s adorable the way Sunoo looks like a hamster every time he eats, basically she gets cuteness aggression from his cheeks.
Aohi’s favourite moment of Sunoo’s was when it was late at night and he was supposed to be sleeping, but Aohi had caught him eating a food delivery he had gotten secretly.
Safe to say Sunoo had to share his food that night.
“Sunnie, you finished all of the radish!” — “yeah, well you finished all the sausages so we’re even.”
Aohi loves to bring Sunoo her food creations whenever she experiments, sometimes Sunoo does worry it’ll make him gain much but he can’t really deny Aohi now can he.
“Oppa, it’s just a muffin! It won’t do much!” — “Aohi…” — “please! I won’t bake anything for you after this!” — “Yah! I didn’t say you shouldn’t!”
Aohi and Sunoo also love to gossip a lot, heck, the boys have scolded them one too many times for being too loud at night.
If not for Xiulin who takes Aohi’s spot as her partner in crime, Sunoo would definitely be runner up.
Sunoo’s and Aohi’s most well known crime/prank would be when Aohi purposely took the wrong gate at the airport to leave from, so everyone thought she wasn’t on the plane to begin with.
shared fav foods: mint chocolate ice cream.
favourite date: garden picnic.
matching plushies: fox plushes, dressed respectively of each other.

AKA. = ‘the lead duo’ - alt. leadz. ִֶָ 𓂃⊹ ִֶָ
DYNAMIC’’
nonchalant! (aohi) + devoted! (jungwon) ⋆。˚𖦹
HCS!
Jungwon and Aohi was similar to that of Jake and Aohi, Jungwon was mostly frustrated since he took on the leader role at such a young age.
He believed that with Xiulin and Aohi into the mix was just even more stressful, and he was only a kid with too many responsibilities.
Jungwon and Aohi did talk about their shortcomings as members to each other, ending up where they were now.
Now, Aohi and Jungwon was very much friends, until of course, the promotions during the manifesto album.
Jungwon was very adamant with pursuing Aohi despite her unsure feelings (because at the time, Sunoo and Ni-ki were already in pursuit of her, and she knew.)
Despite this, Jungwon pursued Aohi anyways, leaving the girl with no choice but to let Jungwon court her. (She was secretly enjoying it, what’s a girl to do when getting pampered?)
Aohi and Jungwon are very easily the most girlfriend-boyfriend out of the whole duo. Both being born in the same year, and working like they merged into one person.
If Jungwon was the leader, then Aohi is definitely what follows after Jungwon.
The two are very strict with each other and the group, always wanting to be on their best behaviour. Very hypocritical of them because they always do the weirdest lives.
As in, eating every type of ice cream at three am in the morning lives. Yes, Aohi and Jungwon deliberately went to a convenience store and bought every type of ice cream there was.
Aohi got sick that day, and Jungwon felt so guilty he literally banned ice cream for a week after she got better.
Aohi and Jungwon’s favourite thing to do is go live, if that’s not surprising. Engene’s favourite live duo, because you’re either messing around with Jungwon or bothering other with Jungwon.
“jakey jakey, let’s go wake him.” — “GOOD IDEA. Why don’t we like… idk pinch him awake.” — “we’re not that evil.” — “OR ARE WE????”
Jungwon’s very heart eyes for Aohi, he thinks she’s the most brilliant person in the whole entire world, Aohi, of course thinks the same, she loves his mischievous behaviour.
Aohi also loves to teach Jungwon English. She finds his aggressive English adorable, and she knows it’s a bit of a struggle to speak it because of Korean and English syllables and consonants clashing with each other.
“You kind of have to say sss, like a snake, instead of shh, because that way it won’t sound weird,” — “like.. seal?” — “yeah! Like that!”
To be fair, Aohi does teach most of the guys English, but Jungwon (and Sunghoon) Are the ones who go to her the most, I mean, Jay and Jake, sure they speak English, but they do troll with them most of the time.
Aohi’s guaranteed to teach them without the jokes and memes.
Aohi admires Jungwon’s ability to be a leader, and it’s what draws Aohi to Jungwon easily.
All in all, Jungwon’s a very devoted person to Aohi, while Aohi is the same for Jungwon, she’s just more shy about it.
shared fav food: grape tanghulu.
favourite date: convenience store runs.
matching plushies: milk and mocha bears.
best aohwon era: manifesto world tour.

gamer girl! (aohi) + skater boy! (ni-ki) ⋆。˚𖦹
HCS!
Aohi’s favourite.
But the boys don’t know that!
Okay, she actually doesn’t have favourites, but she goes the softest for Ni-ki, because, well, He was the first person to ever befriend her. (during her pre-debut days of course.)
Ri-ki’s never once fought with Aohi during their pre-debut and Aohi’s obviously going to baby Ri-ki because he is the maknae.
Ri-ki actually dislikes Aohi’s babying (as in, too frequently, babying him.)
Ri-ki prefers babying Aohi despite her being his noona.
His favourite thing to do? Collect plushies with Aohi, if Aohi has it, chances are Ri-ki has a matching one. Ri-ki treats them like his babies.
Ri-ki and Aohi spend most of their time window shopping plushies actually. Their current buy list consist of genshin plushies (in which Aohi forced Ri-ki to play) and some few Enhypen themed ones.
Aohi is very thankful that Ri-ki indulges in her childish purchases because it makes her relieved that Ri-ki wouldn’t judge her for buying things to heal her inner child.
Aohi and Ri-ki are also very prone to gaming together, usually it’s them and Sunoo, and Aohi mostly plays valorant with the two.
It’s surprising how good Ri-ki and Sunoo actually are at FPS games. Currently, their ranks are Ri-ki - High-Ascendant, Aohi - Immortal, Sunoo - Low Diamond.
Sunoo doesn’t play as much as the two evil twins do, but when he does, he plays pretty much better than diamonds do. (Only because he’s got Immortals and Ascendants teaching him.)
“YAH! RI-KI YAH! I TOLD YOU TO COVER ME!” — “I WAS LITERALLY FIGHTING HOOKAH.” — “you’re so poopoo..” — “hey, watch your language, I’m top-fragging missus immortal rank.”
When they aren’t being competitive though, they like to enjoy minecraft! Aohi has.. maybe one or more times burnt or exploded or drowned half of Ri-ki’s house.
Ri-ki and Aohi are actually ChromeHearts ambassadors, if not for Hoon and Jay, Ri-ki would be one of the most likely to be paired in a photoshoot with Aohi.
Aohi’s favourite thing to do with Ri-ki? Dance. She tries her best to help with Ri-ki’s dancing, always making up new things or joining Ri-ki whenever he wants to do a dance on tiktok.
Although dancing isn’t her strong suit, she still loves to do it!
“And then, maybe it could go like this- and then yeah!” — “wait you’re so smart I love that dance line.” — “right?” — “i’m so happy you’re my girlfriend.” — “okay relax mister smooth talk.”
Aohi loves to be childish around Ri-ki because she knows that Ri-ki will join her, and it gives her a break from being mature in front of many.
fav shared foods: hotteok/mochi.
favourite date: cat cafes.

culprit! (aohi) + accomplice! (xiulin) ⋆。˚𖦹
HCS!
Aohi’s favourite favourite!
No, but really, she’s the favourite.
Xiulin and Aohi were the first to band together during pre-debut. They shared each other’s memories and experiences together.
Xiulin, despite being somewhat of an older sister figure to Aohi, likes to bicker a lot with the boys. Xiulin knows of their relationship and is one-hundred percent supportive! At some points…
Xiulin is very protective of Aohi because of well, their pre-debut. Aohi and Xiulin were pretty much cast aside because the boys had a hard time letting them into the group.
No matter though, Xiulin just likes to bully them because they know if there’s one person who gets most of Aohi’s time, it’s Xiulin.
Xiulin and Aohi are like two peas in a pod, if Aohi commits a crime, Xiulin is there with her.
Aohi’s whole thing with Xiulin is that she reminds her a lot of her older sister figures in XG, and that’s why Aohi likes to stick to Xiulin a lot more than any of the other boys.
Aohi and Xiulin are kind of like, each other’s opposites, yet equals. Despite Aohi’s tendency to lead after Jungwon, that’s just it for her, she follows the leader.
Xiulin is there to guide Aohi if Jungwon isn’t, and that eases Aohi’s heart.
Xiulin’s favourite thing to do with Aohi is play guitar together, Aohi didn’t actually know how to play the guitar until during the manifesto process.
Xiulin and Aohi would stay up together, just learning the stupidest riffs (like the SpongeBob theme) and laugh about it until their manager would bust them for staying up too late.
Aohi, absolutely adores Xiulin with all her heart, the boys believe she’s never looked at someone with such admiration before.
“Ah oppa! Xiulin-noona said, not to eat snacks before dinner..” — “Aohi, baby, you know Xiulin is younger than me…” — “Jake-hyung…” — “Ah.. okay, don’t call me hyung..”
Aohi’s favourite thing to do with Xiulin is paint together, Aohi’s an artistic spirit at heart, and sometimes that’s what she wants to do with her free time.
Although the boys join her from time to time, that doesn’t mean she’s really keen on letting them.
Sometimes painting time can be girl time, and with seven boyfriends? It’s definitely needed after a while.
“Gosh, you know Seungie-oppa? He keeps eating my chips! He won’t even buy them for me, he just sends me the money for it and is like ‘ sorry :9’ Like, that’s so rude!” — “Drop him for the day, bad boyfriend of the week!” — “you’re right!”
Aohi and Xiulin go hand in hand together, continuing to somehow… create chaos for their staff members and managers.
Aohi hopes to introduce Xiulin to her XG sisters one day.
A secret Xiulin holds is that she actually did like Aohi at one point, but ended up never pursuing her because well.. (let’s just say there was seven obstacles in the way.)
shared fav foods: Yema Cake.
favourite date (platonically): amusement park.
matching plushies: White tiger + orange tiger based plushies (hoshi would be jealous.)

Sooo I kinda went back through all six episodes to examine the progression of how Day and Mork speak with each other. For ease of understanding, I'm color-coding words referring to Day and Mork like this again.
Disclaimer: not a native speaker, still learning 🙏
Episodes 1-4
Both use ผม/คุณ /pom, khun/ - ผม = polite, formal, respectful male 1st person pronoun - คุณ = polite, formal 2nd person pronoun -> other than pronoun choices, they speak pretty casually with each other:
Neither of them uses polite ending particles but Mork sometimes uses polite male ending particle ครับ /khrap/ (and then Day uses it back sometimes) - in the beginning seriously, for example when knocking on Day's door/bringing him meals, later on playfully and affectionately -> it becomes more frequent the closer they get and thus the more he teases Day
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- ชัดครับ เจ้านาย /chat khrap, jao naai/ - ไม่คิดว่าคุณเดย์ของเราจะดังขนาดนี้นะครับเนี่ย /mai khit waa khun Day kaawng rao ja dang kha naat nee na khrap niia/
Speaking of particles- จ้า /jaa/ (also จ๊ะ, จ๋า etc.) is a particle used with juniors/children/people of lower status (you can hear Day's mom use it like this, for example, in ep. 6 when she greets Mork back) and commonly between family members or among intimates as it, you guessed it, conveys intimacy:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- จ้า พ่อสุดหล่อ /jaa, por sut laaw/ - [...] ขอบคุณครับ /khaawp khun khrap/ -> พ่อสุดหล่อ /por sut laaw/ contains the same พ่อ /por/ that means father, it's not just used in that context though - it can be used like a prefix to turn a noun into its male form, like พ่อสื่อ /por seuu/ = '(male) matchmaker' aka the word that Mork uses in ep. 6 to break all our hearts, and also to affectionately call a younger male
Both use impolite ending particles วะ /wa/ and นะเว่ย /na woei/ during their first argument (also a lot of แม่ง /maaeng/, a curse word, from Day that isn't in the subs at all lol) and, outside of this fighting context, they use these same particles casually here and there (same as Day does with his friends for example):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- นี่มันชีวิตคุณนะเว้ย /nee man chee wit khun na woei/ - คุณคิดว่าผมเหมือนคุณหรอวะ /khun khit waa pom muean khun raaw wa/
During this same argument, because of Mork's trauma response, he abruptly changes from คุณ /khun/ to just เดย์ /Day/ as he's pounding on his door (the same thing also happens when Day gets lost at Chatuchak Market btw) -> Shoutout and thank you to @btwinlines for opening my eyes to this 🙏 ...and inadvertently prompting me to write this post about the entire evolution of their language use lmao
The Phi-Nong along the way to the actual Phi-Nong
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ผมโตกว่าคุณละกัน ไอ้น้องเดย์ /pom dtoh gwaa khun la gan, ai nong Day/
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- นอ้งครับ ไม่ไหวอย่าฝืน /nong khrap, mai waai yaa fuuen/ - พี่ครับ ไม่ถาม อย่ายุ่ง /phi khrap, mai thaam, yaa yoong/
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ใจเย็น ไอ้หนุ่ม รอบต่อไปพี่ค่อยเอาจริง /jai yen, ai noom. raawp dtaaw bpai phi khaawy ao jing/
Tumblr media
ผมว่าเสียงพี่เขาอ่ะ เหมือนกลิ่นบุหรี่ /pom waa siiang phi khao a muean glin boo ree/
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
- [...] พี่หมอกของมึง /phi Mork khaawng mueng/ = your Phi Mork/ that Phi Mork of yours - พี่หมอกอะไรของกูล่ะ /phi Mork a rai khaawng guu la/ = What 'Phi Mork' of mine? - ก็คนดูแลของมึงไง /gaaw khohn duu lae khaawng mueng ngai/ = Well, [he's] your caretaker! - ไม่ใช่ของมึงแล้วจะของใคร /mai chai khaawng mueng laaeo ja khaawng khrai/ = If not yours then whose [is he]? -> in the following little exchange with that fan of Day's, Mork calls himself พี่ /phi/ and Day by name
Episodes 5-6
Day->Mork: ผม /pom/ -> พี่ /phi/, พี่หมอก /phi Mork/ Mork->Day: พี่ /phi/ -> เดย์ /Day/, น้องเดย์ /nong Day/, เรา /rao/, น้อง /nong/ etc.
Their particle use has largely remained the same but they are getting sweeter, as I said before, by using ครับ /khrap/ more frequently and not just in a teasing? playful? sarcastic? manner but also genuinely sweetly:
Tumblr media
ฐานะอะไรดีล่ะครับ น้องเดย์ /thaa na a rai dee la khrap, nong Day/
How to even explain how sweet this sounds because Mork uses ครับ /khrap/ and calls him น้องเดย์ /nong Day/ specifically, nevermind the loaded word ฐานะ /thaa na/ = status
When I catch you, P'Aof!! Having Mork say something so romantically charged and then following it up with the getting-ready scene 🤌
There's more use of ครับ /khrap/ in this scene before this exact exchange here but this is the standout:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
เดย์ก็เป็นคนหล่อเหมือนกันนะเนี่ย รู้ตัวปะครับ /Day gaaw bpen khohn laaw meuuan gan na niia. ruu dtuua bpa khrap/
Tumblr media Tumblr media
เวลาพี่พูดเพราะ ๆ เนี่ย พี่ก็หล่อขึ้นเยอะเลยนะครับ พี่รู้ตัวปะครับ /weh laa phi phuut praw praw niia, phi gaaw laaw khuen yuh loei na khrap. phi ruu dtuua bpa khrap?/ -> เพราะ /phraw/ describes a voice as pleasant, sweet, melodious. When Porjai asked what her voice sounds like, the first thing Day said was เสียงเพราะ /siiang praw/ = nice/pleasant voice. So this is basically "when you speak sweetly", it's about the tone of his voice as well as choosing to use polite ending particle ครับ /khrap/ to sound more gentle - so much for zero tenderness 😌

i dont know if there's even a ppop presence on tumblr but i do also want to promote ALAMAT, a 6-member idol boy group from the Philippines. Its members comprise of Taneo, Mo, Jao, Tomas, R-ji, and Alas. They debuted in 2021, and their creative direction centers on championing the Filipino identity and culture through their music.
sorry that ^ was a copypaste but it's a very useful and concise copypaste LOL but onto my own promo:
(note: also most of these videos have english subs!!)
(extra note bc this issue always pops up whenever locals encounter alamat: mo is always wearing black hairstyes bc he is blasian and not bc he is appropriating from black culture hdfjhdf)
youtube
KASMALA, the inverted Tagalog word for "strong" (malakas), is the MV that really did numbers on social media iirc. The video direction focused on the "human zoo" in the St. Louis' World Fair of 1904 (which included Filipinos specifically Igorots), and a general theme of anti-Filipino racism by white people (who are represented as ominous figures literally dressed in all white)
personal opinion: the music video is great but i personally think they have better songs, music-wise. and i'm going to give you an example of that by introducing you to my ALL-TIME FAVORITE ALAMAT SONG!!!
youtube
ILY ILY, a transliteration of "Ili-Ili Tulog Anay", incorporates the melody and lyrics of the Ilonggo lullaby it derives its title from. The MV and lyrics both work together to portray the experience of being an OFW/having an OFW parent. OFWs, or overseas Filipino workers, refer to Filipinos who go abroad in search of jobs that have better pay, so that they can remit money back to their families in the Philippines.
personal opinion: this is their best song THIS IS THEIR BEST SONG EVER OF ALL TIME and lyca gairanod is such a perfect singer for this. her ethereal crooning really gave me chills the first time i heard it UGH
youtube
DAYANG, the term for the wife of a Datu, is one of their most earworming songs ever. It's a gorgeous love song and what I would recommend to newbies if they want to get into alamat <3
personal opinion: The MV is kinda ass because it's just a super long extended ad for DITO PH (in terms of story and also bc they really missed out on doing a vid that drew more on culture esp bc dayang is a historical noble title and they used tausug words and designs for the graphics an the dance itself already incorporated pangasik dance which is also from the tausug people LIKEEE?? they've always promoted other cultures of the philippines i know they can do it but because of CAPITALISM--). But the song bangs so severely, as a pop enjoyer this is peak pop for me.
OH I ALMOST FORGOT DAGUNDONG
youtube
DAGUNDONG, a song basically recounting the colonial history of the Philippines from Spain to America, is just so fucking good you should watch/listen to it rn. There's EN subs don't worry you won't miss out on the context. This is colonial rage it's so satisfying I still remember where I was when they dropped this.
personal opinion: FOREVER OBSESSED WITH HOW THEY SAY "dahil puso mandirigma di papakutsa di papapugon" you guys have no idea how much i sing that line to myself sooo satisfying. Instant earworm this song i swear.
OK ONE LAST one last and i'm done. okay.
youtube
MAHARANI, a Sanskrit term for the wife of a Maharaja (translated as "great queen"), heavily features singkil, a Maranao dance which uses bamboo poles like tinikling does. The song also uses SEAsian instruments like kanun, gamelan, and gangsa. Also BINI's Jhoanna plays one of the main characters here!!!
personal opinion: this is their most pop-sounding song, which i think is slightly carried by the video i'm sorryyy. it's catchy though!! and i looove the part somewhere halfway where alas starts his verse, singing it in a more spoken-word way
___
okay 5 songs is. probably enough. this post is already kinda long shdfjskdff but yeah. pls check them out if you can hehe <3
also ppop idols are just really funny. there's no concept of an idol image so they just tweet shit. alamat jao gave out his genshin UID after a fan tweeted about having co-oped with him in genshin, and then after that he started answering questions with the hashtag "#canceljao" making a lot of magiliws (alamat fans) confused, and then he posted a classic iphone notes apology like this 😭
Tumblr media
i'll do a bini version after this my girls deserve more international hype. they occupy a more girlcrush pop genre but they're just as chaotic as alamat if not even more 😭 there are entire THREADS on twitter of them just being hilarious jdhfkshgf i love them so much
thanks for reading <3

I saw your answer about not having any official polycules but if you feel like it, 22-25?
~ @void-botanist
ehh sure, why the hell not!
For context, this polycule (if canon) is from The God-Dragon's Wife. Xinya and Yu-Qi are married, Jao is (unofficially) a consort to the queen. Xinya and Jao would be girlfriends pretty much, and Jao and Yu-Qi would be metamours that cross the line into FWB sometimes.
22. Who has the strongest communication skills in the group? Who has the weakest?
I think... Jao has the strongest communication, Xinya is trying her best to communicate but she's just so repressed, and Yu-Qi is the worst because she doesn't think like a human so she has no idea what she needs to communicate and doesn't often care.
23. Who does the most scheduling out of all the members?
You'd think it would be Jao again, but it's actually Xinya. She's a masterful negotiator and not only the Queen of Syo-Lang, but the Queen of Fantasy Excel Spreadsheets. She organizes the shit out of her polycule. It's kinda scary.
24. How do they deal with feelings of loneliness if their partner(s) are spending time with their other partner(s)?
Yu-Qi is far to confident in herself and her relationship with Xinya to feel neglected or lonely, but she does get bored when Xinya isn't around. She passes the time by wandering the palace and messing with anyone who happens to walk by. Sometimes she might even go out into the city to mess with people. The world is her oyster.
Jao keeps herself busy when she's lonely. She has a lot to do as the queen's assistant, which means she doesn't have a lot of time to dwell on her loneliness, but it's still there. When being a workaholic isn't enough, she writes back home to her family, and/or writes in her private journal about it.
25. Does the polycule ever have get-togethers or dates where everyone is present? What are they like?
Sometimes! Not a whole lot, since by virtue of living in the same place they're always seeing each other, but when occasionally they do make a night of it. It's usually Xinya hosting a private dinner where no one else is allowed into the dining hall. For Xinya and Jao, it means relaxing and letting their hair down (sometimes literally) after a long [insert timeframe here] of politicking, and for Yu-Qi it means she can get away with doing a little godly dragon magic. Depending on who, if any, are in the mood, they might bang it out right there in the dining hall safe in the knowledge that no one is around to hear them, or take it back up to Xinya's bedroom for something a little less messy.

RANDOM THOUGHTS: Two Worlds ep. 5
I’m going into this episode hoping it will pick up some steam in terms of figuring out who is after Phupha. I want to see more investigation. I also want to see more of Khram and Thai’s relationship develop now that they’re in hiding together.
I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before, but Max is so fine. There, now I've mentioned it.
Who are these new kids? Thai’s former gang member friends?
And here I thought Por was the big boss. Guess not.
Yes, both of you should lie under the blanket.
So, Por was an asshole all along.
Don’t you fucking dare touch Khram’s mom!
I have a feeling that Por and his men are going to show up at the cave.
Aaaand here they are.
Like I wrote in a previous post, Por is definitely not winning Father of the Year any time soon.
Is it time for Khram to save Thai this time, then?
Por: ”Men don’t cry.” Why is your right eye teary, then?
Look at these two idiots (Jao and Wayu) fighting again. Just shut up and kiss already!
Hey! Don’t hit Jao’s face! He’s too pretty for your violence.
Damn, that headshot was spot on. Literally.
This must be the BIG boss. Look how scared Por is. It’s divine to see.
Well, he’s not that big anymore…
Um… Why? Was this whole storyline with Por just meant to get Thai in the position of gang leader? And, if so, will Thai now use the gang for something good rather than… whatever they’ve been doing?
Nope, I don’t care that Por’s sitting there crying. He’s still not winning Father of the Year.
Khram and Thai’s first kiss! They were starving, weren’t they? Especially Thai with his hand on the back of Khram’s head. Damn.
This episode took a whole other path than I would’ve guessed. I was guessing there would be more Phupha moments. Instead, we got Thai’s background, which made more sense, honestly, considering his growing relationship with Khram. It was also nice seeing more of Thai’s background. It will be interesting to see if he takes his father’s place and leads the gang or if he refuses (and what repercussions that might cause if he does).

It’s the very reason the group was launched in February 2021: while original P-pop music saw success in the late 1990s and early 2000s, support faced a steep decline once groups started modeling themselves after their Korean counterparts. The industry lacked diversity and by extension, a distinct identity: something Alamat has in spades. Today, they are ready to live up to their name (which means “legends” in English) as the first multiethnic, multilingual act in the Philippines.
Alamat came together from all over the country. Leader, main dancer, and sub-vocalist Taneo (22 years old) is from Tabuk, Kalinga, in the far North; co-leader Mo (20) is a half-Black American from Castillejos, Zambales; Jao (20) comes from Pampanga and the group’s center Tomás (24) from Tabaco City, Albay. Vocalist and visual R-Ji (23) is a Waray-Waray from Borongan, Eastern Samar, while rapper-producer Alas (21) is a Bisaya from Davao City. 
All were students with side jobs prior to joining the group, and while they all agree that this gig positively changed the trajectory of their lives, the journey was not without doubts. “Lately, it seems like Filipinos gravitate towards foreign influences more: our appreciation for our culture has slowly started to fade. So when we heard of the concept of this boy group, we couldn’t help but think it was risky,” Jao admits.
Alamat’s creative director Jason Paul Laxamana further outlines to Teen Vogue via email the complexities in P-pop and K-pop, and how they’ve affected Alamat’s reception in the country. “For Pinoy K-pop fans, they would judge Alamat based on their standards: glossy sets, Korean-style choreography, and even physical appearance like light skin and colored eyes,” Laxamana says. “Since Alamat doesn’t follow their formula 100%, many perceive them to be doing it wrong.”
But these risks seem to have paid off, as they’ve built an impressive portfolio of songs that illuminate the Philippines’ illustrious culture. “Kbye,” for instance, is their debut anthem about ghosting sung in seven of our local languages. “Kasmala” — which recently went viral for its “f*ck colonizers” concept — references the 1904 St. Louis World Fair, where Filipino natives were displayed like zoo animals before a foreign audience. Their latest EP Pasulong has the sensual and bass-heavy “Aswang” as the lead single, where all six members fall for the country’s most popular urban legend: a bloodsucker that only appears at night.

Random thoughts about Two Worlds episode 3 :
It will be easy this time because we spend the entire episode in World 2 ! Yeah !
▪️ Last episode, Khram tried to save Phupha by taking him to World 1 throught the blue moon lagoon but it seem she didn’t succeeded because at the beginning of episode 3, we see him in a cell being tortured by Wayu (Phumpha’s help/friend/employee). They believe Khram was sent by someone to hurt Phupha. Khram can’t really said the truth so he remains silent and let himself be tortured until he passed out. I felt sad for him. Being tortured is no bed of roses. Khram may not seem strong but he has an iron will.
▪️ Eventually he get saved by Thai. Phupha learn that Thai and Khram know each other and get warned he must be careful because someone is after him. Thai takes care of Khram and the way he looks at him so soft and worried, you can’t deny something was going on between Thai from World 2 and Khram from World 2 before the latter died. Khram is not coping well because he couldn’t really do anything to protect Phupha and the memories of their time in World 1 is making him feel more hopeless than ever. Even though Phupha in World 2 shares none of these sweet memories with him, Kram was willing to do anything to save him. He is torn between his love and his helplessness.
▪️ Thankfully, Thai is always ready to take care of him when he sees how difficult it is for Khram to cope. I have to admit, I find his quiet kindness so endearing. Nothing is really said, so it’s pure speculation, but I believe Thai from World 2 was in love with Khram from World 2 and lost him. As he knows that Khram from World 1 doesn’t really know him or share his feelings, he can’t act like he would want with him but he will nonetheless do anything to help him. Thai from World 2 is stuck in the same position as Khram from World 1 when he is with Phupha (from World 2). That’s why he understand him so well.
▪️ Thai will lead Khram to the version of his mother from the World 2. In this world, Khram’s mother is the only remaining member of his family who is alive. His father is dead because of Thai’s father and his mother is blind (I don’t remember if it’s because she became blind or if she was born with blindness). Seeing her and spending time with her, helps Khram to feel better. He also got to see Dueandao from World 2 who is different from the one he knows from his own World. She never met him, but she seems to be a friend of Thai and his mother.
▪️ Phupha will find Thai and Khram again after he was attacked just like they warned him and he will be saved by Thai at the end of the episode. During the last part of the episode, Phupha will pretty much discover the same information the Phupha from World 1 found (fir example who is his real father and his relationship with his mother. I just had one crazy thought, isn’t Phupa’s father also the father of his fiance??? Something is not clearly explained). Again, what really breaks me is how tragic is this whole situation because Khram is crying, holding Phupha and screaming his name and Thai is just seeing himself doing the exact same action when he saw his Khram being dead
▪️ I don’t know how they will manage the love triangle. My usual answer is make them be a polycule but I’m not sure Thai and Phupha can appreciate each other enough to make that happen. Besides, this Phupha from World 2 isn’t in love with Khram. He knows almost nothing about him. No one told him the truth because they believed he wouldn’t be able to handle it. I wonder when he will get to know Khram is from another world where he, Phupha, is not alive anymore. I also don’t believe Phupha from World 2 is as nice as Phupha from World 1. He seems less friendly..
▪️ One thing I really like from this episode is the bickering between Wayu and Jao (Thai’s friend). They know each other and they are not in friendly terms. However, they are perfect for one of my oldest favorite trope, Enemies to Lovers. The potential of their relationship is here in every petty arguments they have together. When they were facing each other so close they could kiss… Let me tell you I was really enjoying it. Since they are supporting characters they don’t get a lot of screen time but I believe we’ll get there soon.
▪️ My only complaint is that the duration of events is not easy to grasp. Many things seems to happen to fast but some would require more time to be believable. Maybe it’s just me who feel this way. I really wonder what will happen in the next episode.
PS: I edit the name of the characters to match the version in MDL but I'm watching the series on IQIYI and they don't write it this way. 🤷

ALAMAT PAGSULONG ALBUM MADE ME CRAZY.
*Pardon my english*
So it's been 5 months since ALAMAT (a Filipino pop group) released their mini album called "PAGSULONG". quick background about ALAMAT, they are a 6-member boy group under the viva Artist agency from the Philippines. they consist of Taneo, Mo, Alas, Tomas, Rji and Jao.
This Pagsulong album just made me crazy as sht. Like bro, the songs, the beat, and the lyrics are all bop. Plus Alamat are getting better at anything. let me give you a little trip to their PAGSULONG album.
Disclaimer: these are all my opinion, please be kind and correct me if there's something wrong. Love yah <3
!. SAY YOU LOVE ME
For me, this song was a total vibe. it's an RnB, which is really rare to hear from a Ppop group and the lyrics is about questioning the love from your lover if they still like you or nah,
It gives the vibe : ako pa ba o may iba na? (is it still me or you like someone else already?)
Tumblr media
2. ILI ILI
This song is a gem. It talks about our beloved OFW (overseas Filipino Worker) who constantly sacrifice everything just to give what their love wants. Very touching and really made me miss my sister from abroad.
Tumblr media
3. Aswang
Okay, so my interpretation of this song is kinda weird. when I read the lyrics, it gives me the vibe : mahal kita kahit sino ka man(I like you whoever you are) . The song is really catchy though, I'm still singing it till now.
Tumblr media
4. Maharani
I think this is the Fans' favorite, they are all over Twitter when the mv came up. I can't blame them, the song was fricking good that I almost memories the dance step. OMG. and you know what? this gives me the vibe of a very popular phrase in the Philippines socmedia : kung ako yun di kita gaganunin (if it was me,) if you know, you know ><
Tumblr media
5. Gayuma
So farrr, this is my favorite mv in Pagsulong Album. Gosh this is so INTENSEEEE!!!. Like, they are all sexy, daring and GORG!!!. I love itttt
Tumblr media
6. HALA
This is my favorite song of alamat. I love how they incorporate the "sitsiritsit alibabang" song (correct me if im wrong) everything is perfect in this song. boogsh
Tumblr media
Go check them out and You wont regret it,

Hypothetically, let's assume this sadela karela ML, the object of my eternal ire despite your best efforts, doesn't exist, and the two sweethearts, Khushi and La meet elsewhere under different circumstances- where do they go? Is there a universe somewhere with these two being each other's happily ever after? 🥺🥺🥺
Hello Ji Suno Ab Sambhal Jao Ji, Yeh Hai Tumhari Dost Ki Blog Ji... Kisiko Yeh Na Kare Naraaz, Na Jaane Ajeeb Sawaalo Ka Kya Hai Raaz... (not dedicated to you, but like to people who do send ajeeb sawaal)
lol
This is a very interesting question because of the nature of Khushi and Lavanya's friendship. I believe there are some friendships which have the possibility of blooming into a romance (where you can see some level of chemistry existing, missed opportunities, etc). And then there are friendships which are familial in nature (have an easy time opening up with each other, discuss things that can't be discussed with family, almost treating the other as a confidante and the position of a sibling).
With Lavanya and Khushi, it's very much a familial friendship (I think). They're both amazing women but they're also existing as a part of family that neither have access to. They simply don't have family members who are always there to even speak to the other person or have fun with.
So you see in an AU where only Arnav isn't there, it's tough to see them in love because I think both of them are coded as heterosexual women who develop a kinship where they're family to each other. (Not that they'd date each other simply because they're not heterosexual). There's sisterhood in this universe.
Tumblr media
However, if Khushi and La are in an AU where they'd find women sexually and romantically attractive (for romance IS very important to Khushi) - and don't deviate to kinship in their friendship trajectory...
Hmm this would have to be early on where La probably realizes she is in a terrible relationship with her partner and that Khushi would see La has everything she wants in a romantic partner... (the foundation of this friendship needs to be on a slightly different tangent...)
Then absolutely they'd fall in love and live happily ever because neither of the women would hurt the other. If they would it could be because Lavanya has a tendency to not say when her wishes have changed and Khushi would hide some things because she would feel it would hurt La if she knew and La would pretend to not know even if she realizes some things are hidden. So yeah, little communication issues there, but be rest assured this is a couple that would other absolutely work out. And anyone who loves Khushi has to fight with her traditional family so poor La will have to fight with Guptas and probably elope with her in London/USA!
Tumblr media
A good way to understand this is to take another famous friendship into consideration - Samrat and Mayank. Their friendship, in the same universe, is very much like the first type of friendship - where chemistry actively exists and the friendship isn't kinship.
Tumblr media
I very much think that in the same universe if Gunjan and Nupur weren't around there was a heavy chance that they'd fall for each other. They enjoy each other's presence, are almost always battling to be equals. Immediately form a respect towards the other's talents despite being a competition. Very easily fall in 'couple' spaces. Also they constantly find out they share underlining similarities in times of emotional vulnerability. Like Mayank deals with his stress through books, and Samrat through basketball.
You could put them in a house to live together as roommates and they'd live like romantic partners, NO DOUBT. They wouldn't even know when they'd start living like a married couple.
There's this familiarity that Samrat and Mayank share and a teasing that can easily veer into flirtation.
For example, if Mayank accidentally came across a shirtless Samrat practicing basketball and get distracted while studying due to his solo practice, Mayank could very well say,
"I didn't know there was a tradition to play basketball, half naked, at midnight to irritate people who try to study,"
To which Samrat could very well respond,
"Irritation or distraction? And instead of your books if your attention is on my state of undress, please be my guest, I don't mind."
And the reason it's so easy to ship Samrat and Mayank is because of who they choose as partners! Gunjan is very similar to Mayank while Nupur is very similar to Samrat.
In many ways Nupur and Samrat are cut from the same cloth - like Mayank and Gunjan (even their clothes are in the same color wheel initially!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
On the other hand, based on how much IPK showed, both La and Khushi do not choose people who are like them as romantic partners!
Lol, I got distracted myself answering this.
To answer your question in short: Yes, in an alternate universe Khushi and Lavanya will be HAPPILY EVER AFTER. They'd be wholesome beans in wholesome love.
Best,
S
P.S: I'm hetero so there's FULL possibility I probs missed some key points!

polycule asks!! 34, 58, for HHSH, and I cannot remember specifically if/who there is in TGDW so free reign for: 23, 14, 58 !
thank you!! <333
For context, The Aviary is the endgame polycule of my fanfiction Haunted House Sweet Home. It's a canon/canon/OC ship, and you can learn more about it from the fic itself or by browsing the story tag. The polycule (if canon) from The God-Dragon’s Wife is Xinya and Yu-Qi being married, and Jao being (unofficially) a consort to the queen. Xinya and Jao would be girlfriends pretty much, and Jao and Yu-Qi would be metamours that cross the line into FWB sometimes.
The Aviary
34. How have their members’ respective family relationships influenced their polyamorous dynamics?
Gonna be honest, I have not done my research on polyamory in the Ottoman Empire. I have no idea what the prevailing attitudes were, or what the general opinions of people at the time would be. Haven't done the research for modern Japan either.
Personally, though, Feriha has been 1) already betrayed by her family 2) dead for so long that she doesn't care what they think. I think she'd actually be more inclined to do it if they disapproved.
Atem also wouldn't care, but because he couldn't possibly choose between either of them. It wouldn't be fair to them or himself, and he's more than willing to ride out cultural disapproval for what makes him and his partners happy.
It's present in the story that Yugi is hesitant to even say how he feels when he finds out Atem is/was married, but we all saw how that turned out. I think the concept of not being a homewrecker definitely held him back, but ultimately he can't put aside love for cultural expectation either. He's the poster child of Do It Scared.
58. How does the polycule celebrate anniversaries?
All three of them are very concerned everyone gets to spend time one-on-one, so every "single" anniversary (Yugi/Atem anniversary, Feriha/Atem anniversary, and Yugi/Feriha anniversary) are assumed to be celebrated completely separate unless they make plans otherwise. It's usually an entire afterlife "day" spent together, doing cute date activities, if present Atem may or may not force the other sit for a portrait, and sex.
When they celebrate their collective anniversary, it's pretty much the same thing but it's all three of them instead of one-on-one, but usually spread out over more than one "day." Sometimes they'll all agree to throw a big party for it and invite their afterlife friends and family, but most of the time it's just the three of them.
Fun fact, since time doesn't really exist in the afterlife, they just agree to celebrate their anniversaries whenever they feel like it!
TGDW Polycule
I answered 23 here & 58 here!
14. What’s the craziest polycule drama they’ve experienced so far?
I think dating Jao dating her own queen while said queen is married to a literal dragon she's worshiped her entire life is some pretty intense poly drama. And not only is she dating her own queen now, while also being her personal assistant, that dragon wife is regularly checking her out now. She wasn't prepared for this, please send help.
