A theory for the cold open of Admiral Peralta (ep 7x10)

We know from spoilers that there's no mention of the baby in episode 9, and that it's very likely we find out the sex of the baby in episode 10. We also know from the press release that episode 10 is pretty packed plot-wise (Jake is dealing with Roger, Amy and Rosa are investigating a high-profile case, the others are involved in Terry's C-plot), and that leads me to believe that both the pregnancy announcement and the gender reveal will happen in the cold open.

Here's what I have in mind: Amy is past the end of the first trimester (it would be risky to announce the pregnancy before that point, Amy would never do it), I would say 4 months pregnant. That puts Jake and Amy in the position to both be able to tell the others, and to know the sex of the baby - while it's true that 4 months is probably a tad early to be 100% sure of the sex from a sonogram, they also might have had blood tests that are able to tell - among other, more important things - if the baby is a boy or a girl.

Anyway, Jake and Amy get the rest of the squad in the briefing room for their announcement, and the announcement of the baby's arrival is probably something flamboyant - I mean, it's Jake we're talking about. I'm picturing something over-the-top like the musical banner from Cinco de Mayo or something along those lines.

Well, lo and behold, the rest of the squad don't even bat an eye when they hear Jake and Amy are having a baby - much to Peraltiago's surprise and annoyance:

Boyle knew it in his soul from the "It happened!" in Ding Dong. "I can't believe you kept your mouth shut about the baby for this long" Jake tells him. "Yeah, well, Rosa took the brunt of it [i.e. the gushing about the Peraltiago baby] for the past 3 months".

Rosa had probably known for even longer: she has a medical background and she was there when Amy was being extra-emotional or sweating like crazy, so it was an easy solve.

Terry was there for Sharon's two pregnancies, so he recognised the symptoms easily.

Holt had also known for a while, because he is extremely observant and also very knowledgeable about pregnancy thanks to his OBGYN ex-boyfriend.

The only ones left are Hitchcock and Scully, but as usual they're barely aware of what's going on around them.

Basically the squad kept it hush-hush because, even though they knew about the pregnancy, they had also figured out Jake and Amy wouldn't want to discuss it before it was time.

"Well guys, thank you, that was very thoughtful of you" ("Now you can understand how I felt when the word got out about Ava, Jake" Terry says)

"But don't let that fool you guys, you were hardly inconspicuous about the whole thing" Rosa interjects. "Jake, we all saw you being sickeningly cute and overprotective around Amy" (cue montage of sweet moments where Jake is doting on his baby-mama while at work) "and Amy, you've been carrying that folder over your torso for the past 3 months, very subtle move, very smooth" (we know from spoilers that in one of the episodes they're going to do something funny to lampshade Melissa covering her own pregnancy).

Well, Jake and Amy are bummed about their announcement not going the way they had planned, but they still have a trick up their sleeve: the squad doesn't know the sex of the baby, so they announce it there and then.

"It's a girl!"

And THAT'S what gets the squad going, giving Jake and Amy the reaction they were expecting from the pregnancy announcement: Charles either SCREECHES or FAINTS or starts sobbing uncontrollably or probably just drops dead, Terry's all like "Oh my god, I have SO MANY baby clothes I can hand down to you guys", Rosa smiles brightly: "That's dope!". Even Holt is more moved than he would usually display: "My congratulations are in order, I am positive you will be more than adequate parents to your baby girl".

(I apologize, I can't write these characters for saving my life, but I hope you still got the image I was going for... Either way I can't wait and bless you Dan Goor, season 7 is the gift that keeps on giving)

Look I never like being that person that says posting shit online means you care buuuuuut Vgk literally have some games broadcast in spanish and have grown their Spanish Instagram page to almost 10k followers and regularly post on it every game and always have dope dia de Los muertos swag when it’s that time of year whereas San Jose abandoned their official Spanish Instagram in 2019 so if you wanna talk about teams that are just pulling cinco de Mayo shit as pure lip service theres that....

#It’s always interesting to see which companies are actually down to cater to us Latinos as a regular fan demographic and which don’t #Hockey stuff #hockey #personal

This should sum up my first day back

This morning when we were getting the kids ready to head to my parents for the work day, hubs went to pick Jamis out a shirt, he came back in the nursery and found Lilith just PTFO 😂😂😂😂😂 I mean she slept decent last night, was up at 6 and this is ~ 6:45.... guess she wasn’t ready to start her day? Why she can just lay down and go to sleep, but won’t at bedtime I’ll always wonder, but this shit was hysterical.

As my first day back, I was pleasantly surprised by my covering provider, she was awesome and I didn’t come back to anything outstanding which was super dope. Had a metric ton of emails to cull through - does anyone else just skim the first line or two then delete it all? Or you guys proper etiquette readers? I’m totally a trash can girl. Delete, delete, delete.....

I did break for a run at lunch, I had planned a yoga sesh, but today’s livestream was kapha and that’s too low key for me. Momma has to move. Momma only works out to burn calories and get cardio. So I ran instead, and my calves and shins effing hurt. I made it through my 3 miles, barely, and even then it was only because of The Police, Bowie and Clapton.

Then I made tacos for dinner for two reasons -

1) Taco to me Tuesday

2) Cinco de Mayo - though I had forgotten this was today until I had already cooked the chicken - lucky me

And @losingitinvirginia cat selfies of Sir Ellington - who got his name from being rescued off Ellington parkway, he was in the middle of the freeway and we stopped and chris ran out to get him. He was 1.5 pounds and had funky parasites that we had to treat for a month and keep separate form Jamis because they were kid friendly 😬 he’s now a big healthy boy

We also have another cat, Donkey, who came from Chris’s work - he’s the cat whisperer, all homeless cats pick up on a signal he emits, then he brings them home to me, and I end up nursing them back to health. She got her name because she SMEELED LIKE ASS when he brought her home, and I couldn’t go around calling her that, so, Donkey. She’s our oldest pet, and she plays at being feral 50% of the time. The other half, she’s sleeping on my pillow with me or at the foot of Jamis’ bed. She is definitely Jamis’ - she tolerates him snuggling her and I love it. He is so proud of her and is so gentle with her 💚

At one point, we had 5 cats and two dogs. RIP my fur babies.

Thank you for that stroll down memory lane xx

i lied about doing replies, i have to vent about work first

so as many of u probably know, yesterday was cinco de mayo, and i work at a mexican inspired restaurant, texmex, if u will. but either way we got our asses KICKED. i was supposed to work 10-4, and i didnt get home until 9 it was so bad. but the phone started ringing off the hook at 11am ( RIGHT WHEN WE OPENED ), and it never stopped. there were only 3 of us working bc “we wont be busy in the morning” bullshit. and my manager didnt show up until 1, at which point we were getting absolutely destroyed. so he called in the entire night staff and they all showed up around 3 and i was like “dope, im off in an hour and everyone in here so i dont have to worry about it.” BOY WAS I WRONG. bc of this dumbass virus we can only do carryout orders, so obviously we have to have people covering every station. so i was in the window bagging up EVERY. SINGLE. order there was and it was awful and i had one other person there with me. but at one point we had 92 orders on the screen, and it was taking up to 2 hours for people to get their food. and everyone was pissed and yelling at us but like hello, we are doing the best we can and you literally all flooded in here at the same time. finally my manager disconnected all of the phones at like 6 so that people couldn’t call anymore bc we were so behind. THEN THE COPS SHOWED UP. someone called the cops bc of how many people were in the restaurant, and he made everyone wait in their cars ( which they should have done anyways ) but karen has to have her tacos RIGHT NOW, so she couldn’t. but anyways it was a MESS and we ended up doing $11k in sales, which is what we did last cinco WHEN WE WERE ACTUALLY OPEN. so today we had to field calls from everyone from last night about how upset they were with us, and they didnt understand why we shut the phones off, and a bunch of other dumb shit and idk i just needed to finally rant now that i’ve processed everything omg.

Operation Golden Pumpkin

summary: His face was a lot like when she faked it at the heist, except so much softer and emotional. It’s a face she wants to commit to memory for the rest of her life. A halloween heist spectacular reveal.

read on ao3

It’s after the Cinco de Mayo heist they both get to work. They start planning the most genius (hopefully) plan ever. Condoms and birth control thrown out after a very serious conversation about tricking him, and realising he wants to start trying immediately. That he wants their family to start now . They’re both ready.

They both know it might take a while to actually get pregnant but when they’re halfway through September, standing in front of 4 positive pregnancy tests, they are ecstatic. Mostly that they’re having a baby but also that their original plan worked. For realz , they’re having a baby and their plan WORKED.

“For realz, Amy? We’re having a baby?”

“We’re having a baby, Jake!”

His face was a lot like when she faked it at the heist, except so much softer and emotional. It’s a face she wants to commit to memory for the rest of her life. A face she gets to know and love for the rest of her life and now they’re having a child together.

A long while later, once all the crying and kissing and ‘I love you’s are exchanged, Amy pulls out her binder that she made for this heist and immediately begins filling Jake in on her plans.

First and foremost, they work on manipulating everyone to wanting to work with their partners. That way Jake and Amy working together won’t seem suspicious in their plans at all. The only thing that’s suspicious is how often Amy almost falls asleep at her desk and the amount of times she goes to the toilet in a day, but no one seems to be paying too much attention at her since she’s mostly downstairs. They’re on the way to their first ultrasound a week later when they plan their next move.

“We need to convince Holt to use something big this year… So we can write ‘Baby Santiago-Peralta due 2020’ on it… OH or we can get another banner!” Jake shakes her hand in excitement.

“Babe, that cost us $1800 we are not getting a banner… Though it would be pretty dope.” Amy chuckles softly, “What about a golden pumpkin? And it would be a great little clue because our baby will grow to be the size of a pumpkin! Maybe it can be a smaller one to make it easier.”

“Yes! We can call it… The Golden Pumpkin of Destiny! You’re a genius, Ames, how did we not team up earlier?” Jake scrunches his nose in the way Amy absolutely melts at.

“Probably something to do with our highly competitive personality or something…”

“Oh god, our kid is going to be so competitive.” Jake says as he holds open the door to the doctors office and follows her through, “Imagine a Halloween Heist: Kids edition!”

Amy gave him a goofy grin as she signs herself in at the front desk, her skin absolutely radiating with pure joy. He never thought he could love this woman more than he already did, but now they were having a baby. Jake kisses the spot right below her ear, “I love you so much.”

Amy swears she might cry as his hand sneaks to her abdomen as it had been since the one week they had known about her pregnancy. “Does this mean I’m the official winner this year no matter what?”

“Excuse me, why would we discuss this in such an intimate moment?”

“I’ll give you the proposal heist win.”

“Uh, a-deal. No take backsies.” Jake kisses her cheek and sits down with her to wait to be called in, “I mean you are carrying the baby, with your body , I guess you deserve to win this one.”

“Damn straight I do.” Amy affirms, head resting on his shoulder. They sit in comfortable silence for a few minutes before a small woman shows up and calls out Amy’s name, signalling for them to follow her.

All the things she’s told is a blur of information she’s already learned from her binder and doesn’t register anything until they’re told the due date. April 28th. It’s fate really, that their baby was due on the date Jake decided he wanted to marry her. Adorable, puke-worthy fate. And six out of the seven of her brothers were born exactly on her due date. Herself and David being the only ones born early.

Jake is squeezing her hand so intensely by the time the ultrasound machine is turned on, and she can tell they’re both already on the verge of tears when they see the black and white blob. It takes a moment for the doctor to find the heartbeat, but she’s pointing it out to them and a split second later, the loud thumps of a heartbeat is heard.

The sound overwhelms her whole system and there are goosebumps not related to the cool gel on her abdomen, she can hear Jake sniffling next to her, as well as tears falling down her own cheeks. “That’s…”

“It’s our baby, Ames!” Jake is actively crying when Amy looks over at him. Many months of trying and anticipation since May had lead to this moment, tears and all. “Weird bean inside ya ute!”

“It’s so weird right?” Amy scoffs, “I have a human baby in me - what the fuck?”

Closer to the heist, they have two priorities. The first is making sure no one has given any gifts that can be classified as weapons are given, because that was intense even though hilarious to look back on. It’s mostly because Amy is pregnant but they don’t know that; Boyle is then hesitant to ask for certain gifts that might have tear gas in them (“I can’t believe Charles was going to use those cute teddy bears to tear gas us”).

Their second priority was trying to keep the pregnancy a secret in the first place. Amy’s nausea and tiredness had gotten significantly worse in since they had known. She was barely there in her briefings with either squad, falling asleep while standing once when Boyle was updating them on a big arson case. Once she even got sent home by Captain Holt who said she looked like she was about to collapse.

She also never thought Gary could get more on her nerves. God, Gary . His never ending Amy personality truly sent her up a wall, more so then when she first encountered it. She loves being an Amy, but Gary in his eagerness send her into avoidance mode so that she doesn’t bury him alive. She makes sure to not go on active duty as much as she used to, but there had been lots of paperwork to do in the past weeks so it wasn’t hard to find excuses to stay in and work.

“Happy 1st Halloween Heist, lil bean.” A tired smile creeps up on to Amy’s face when she hears Jake’s whispers, “Everything is place for Team Peralta-Santiago to win, and we can finally tell everybody about you! Uncle Charles is going to lose his mind! Aunt Rosa might smile, not sure.”

“Uncle Charles better not immediately go to touch my stomach or I will lose my mind.” She peaks one eye down at her husband who is level with her flat (although she thinks she can see a little pudge forming) stomach. “Hopefully the ultrasound copy we saved for him will appease him.”

“It needs to because I don’t want to have the personal space talk again, I know he just loves us.”

Amy’s fingers thread into his hair, recently cut so the curls at the front are as fluffy as ever and they sit in silence for a few moments before either of them speak again. “We should get up if we want to get there before Holt.” Jake murmurs.

“I don’t want to get up.” Amy groans and pulls the blanket to her chin.

“IT’S HALLOWEEN AMES LETS GO!” Jake pulls their comforter off her, “Unless you don’t think you’re up for it?”

“Don’t you dare suggest that, Peralta. I am doing it.” Amy is out of bed without another word and rushing to get her decaf coffee.

“Yep didn’t think so babe.”Jake is laughing too loudly for 5 in the morning but neither of them care because it’s Halloween, the only important time of the year.

They get to the precinct with no further hassle and are happy to see Lohank sleepily working at his desk and no Holt yet in his office. They are able to set up quickly and once the golden pumpkin is in place the excitement is palpable.

They end up at Shaw’s 18 hours later. After napping twice, and running off to the bathroom once and many many hiccups. Like Genevieve figuring out Amy was pregnant, and being so alike to Boyle, both Jake and Amy had to cuff her in the evidence lock up so she wouldn’t tell anybody.

Rosa managed to get Bill on her side that year, and he got stuck in the vents trying to steal the Golden Pumpkin of Destiny from the line up room. But Rosa, like so many before her, broke the glass anyway and took it.

Then Holt and Kevin faked another math problem to distract Rosa (and Amy) so that Jake could steal it from the ceiling area above Rosa’s desk “for them”. There was luckily no reference to boning and hence, no meltdown. All a part of their confusing elaborate plan.

Their plan almost goes south when Genevieve escapes and almost spills the beans, but as she walks up to Charles, she takes a glance at them and puts her finger to her lips to indicate she’ll stay quiet.

All the chaos and only one taser Belt used on Terry later, they are all racing to Shaw’s bar. Jake and Amy gladly let everyone take the lead, because everything is set up the way they want at the bar. The entire squad is huffing and yelling by the time they walk into the bar and it takes a moment to see the banner and the golden pumpkin sitting underneath it.

All Hail The King and Queen - Jake and Amy.

“What? How did you pull this off!?” Boyle screeches, “I sent Genny here with the pumpkin an hour ago! We had our own banner! This was supposed to be my year!”

“Don’t be such a sore loser.” Rosa chuckles, shoving his shoulder. “But seriously how did you losers pull this off?”

“Charles baby, it’s not the real pumpkin! I swear I put our pumpkin here and Hank said the banner was all ready!” Genevieve is good at acting, they have to give her that, because she seems genuinely upset although she knew what was happening.

“Yeah I had a banner ready. All of yours are out back. Gathering dust. Why did you all want banners ?”

“How are you on their team Hank?” Holt shouts, exasperated.

Charles has finally made it next to Genevieve where he takes the pumpkin and examines it. “Amazing Human slash Genius… WHAT?”

His scream is loud enough to attract attention from every person in the bar currently. Holt is quick to take the pumpkin out of his hands and reads the text aloud, “Amazing Human slash Genius due April 2020..”

The squad goes silent and slowly turn around to Jake and Amy, his arm wrapped around her shoulder, both bearing lively grins. “Is this another prank?” Terry yells, “This is not a fun joke!”

“It’s for realz, my friends.” Jake announces proudly.

“Yup, you are all losers and I’m pregnant!” As the words come out of her mouth, Charles is rushing over to them to wrap them in a gentle hug, and she can feel his tears already drenching her shirt.

“Congratulations and all, but are you trying to insinuate that your unborn child is the winner of this heist?” Holt scoffs.

“Come on man, now is not the time! Let us have this one!” Amy shouts, rolling her eyes but still smiling.

“Yes, yes of course. Congratulations to Jake and Amy, I’m certain the two of you will make fantastic parents.” Holt says honestly, his hand on her shoulder. Boyle is letting them go to hand a tissue to Amy who has obviously started crying at the support.

“Thank you, Dadptain.” Jake chuckles, looking down and shifting on his feet to distract from all the emotions he was currently feeling.

Everyone makes their round of congratulations, Rosa smiling for the both of them when they immediately ask her to be the Godmother. Terry wraps them both up in a hug and lifts them up and it makes Amy dizzy. Hitchcock and Scully walking in 30 minutes after everyone else so they have no clue what’s going on. Finally, Charles begins to cry again once they give him his copy of the ultrasound and he’s babbling about America’s dream baby to them for another 20 minutes.

Jake and Amy eventually decide to go home considering everyone begins drinking more and becoming tipsy, and she is pregnant so she is tired . Amy is so happy when Holt agrees to give her a congratulatory hug, and while this is rare and she wants to take this moment in. Instead she whispers, quite dramatically at that:

“Jake and I are the only two time winners of the Heist. Suck on that! Bye loser!”

Chingo de Mayo really went down this past Sunday, erm, Cinco de Mayo out that H-Town! Seeing how far Chingo has come with his career is one of the most inspiring stories to come from the Houston rap world. Seriously, this man has kept his family close and always did the right thing. A true living legend and a great dude who can evidently throw a great party. Big ups to 8th Wonder Brewery for embracing the rap world and not running away from it like so many other craft beer companies. It’s a special place and the beers are amazing. Might crack a Dome Faum right about now.

Travel Eats

Good news! Traveling has been scientifically proven to increase happiness, decrease depression, and chill you the F out. While it is important to be grounded, traveling is a big part of finding out who you are and what environment fuels your inner fire. Plus, experiencing different cultures is invigorating AF. So for all of you that want to get out and explore the borders of this world, I have put together a travel eats guide to all the fabulous food from your home base and beyond. Enjoy!

Toto, I don’t think we are in La Crosse, WI anymore. This is truly an experience you do not want to miss out on. Teaming with The Root Note, The Mint is a farm to table restaurant serving up all the local goods right to your plate. If you are on a budget, I highly recommend taking advantage of Sunday Craft Cocktail night. The craft cocktails are only $5 and appetizers are on sale.

Howie’s On La Crosse $

La Crosse, WI

A La Crosse classic (most likely right outside your door step). Howie’s has great grub, drinks, games, staff, and an awesome patio. If you have not been I am honestly concerned. Oh, and do I even need to mention the bloody mary bar. YUM! Happy Hour is the perfect time to put down your schoolwork and head over for some student deals. I mean we are only students for four years, so we might as well soak up the discounts while we can. You are bound to run into some of your classmates working at Howie’s and most likely some of your professors throwing one back at the bar. There are enough TV’s at Howie’s that you will never miss a second of your favorite games.

Did someone say waffles? These waffles are like no other. They are seriously FUNKY and out of this world. The interior of Black Coffee and Waffle Bar provides an awesome space for students to chillax and enjoy a drink and a waffle. I mean, what could be finer? Every month they introduce a new specialty waffle. I promise, the drive is worth the overpriced waffle and the Instagram picture that comes with it!

San Giorgio Pizzeria $$

Milwaukee, WI

Neapolitan pizza dough, made fresh in seconds, right before your eyes in a wood-fired oven! I have had a lot of pizza in my life, and this is by far my favorite. That is saying something people, you must go. The chef sits five feet in front of your table while throwing dough and firing up some incredible ZAA. Head Chef Gino Fazzari made this an unforgettable experience (he even bought my boyfriend and I special shots on the house). I would go back a million times.

My go-to: MARIA CARMELLA

San Marzano Tomato, Fresh Fior Di Latte Mozzarella, Prosciutto, Fresh Basil, Arugula, Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Logan House Coffee Co. $

Denver, CO

The vibes are too real people. This place is like an indoor farmer’s market. Make sure you give yourself enough time to really explore. The staff members are super DOPE and are jazzed about talking coffee with customers.

My go-to: NUTELLA LATTE WITH ALMOND MILK

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory $

Vail, CO

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! You will never want to get ice cream elsewhere after trying Rocky Mountain. This is mainly because of the cones. Have you ever seen something so beautiful? In the heart of Vail Village you will feel like the cutest snow bunny with one of these cones in hand and the mountains right above your head. If you are a chocoholic you NEED to check this out.

Blue Moose Pizza $$

Vail, CO

Want to eat pizza while looking out at the Vail Village Slopes? Yeah, me too. This was some of the most exotic pizza I have ever had. Flavor overload in the best way possible. If you go during off-season you won’t even have to wait for a table.

My go-to: AUTUMN PIZZA

Sautéed Mushrooms, Truffle Oil, Parsley, Parmesan, Garlic, Olive Oil, Mozzarella, Goat Cheese

BTS toma L.A. con Vogue - y es "Hella Lit"

OK . RU: https://goo.gl/3uTCRQ VK: https://goo.gl/qVRWfR

"Whoa, ¿es Raf?", pregunta J-Hope, el bailarín principal de BTS, entrando a zancadas en una suite en el centro de Los Ángeles decorada con sofás de color mostaza y dirigiéndose directamente a los estantes de pantalones vaqueros cónicos y blusas occidentales en el centro. "Debe ser caro", murmura, pasando las manos por las rayas del grogrén, y luego llama a sus compañeros de banda cuando entran: "Chicos, ¡es Calvin Klein!"

El décimo piso del hotel ha sido cerrado por completo esta semana en noviembre para acomodar al acto K-pop de siete miembros en su primera gran tirada de prensa estadounidense: James Corden, luego Jimmy Kimmel, una actuación histórica en los AMA (el primer grupo coreano en hacerlo), y Ellen DeGeneres, con un montón de entrevistas entremedias. En su penúltimo día, lograron otro hito, convirtiéndose en la primera banda de K-pop en reservar un rodaje completo con Vogue, que propuso una gira divertida y sin preocupaciones por la ciudad que habían tomado por asalto.

Uno por uno entran en la habitación, Jungkook, el más joven, es tan llamativo en persona, un silencio audible cae cuando entra, sobresaltándolo un poco. Se dirige directamente a la silla de maquillaje para esperar su retoque, cantando en voz baja para pasar el tiempo. Otros miembros hacen una línea recta hacia la pila de bocadillos en el aparador: taza de ramen y cajas de Pocky, crujientes Cheetos y Fritos, latas de Coca, rodajas de pastel de Castella, helados americanos, y gruesos batidos de "acondicionamiento corporal" en botellas de deportes verde azulado, etiquetados individualmente y alineados con precisión militar.

La mercadería de Calvin Klein Jeans de la primavera de 2018 (más tarde filmada en Kardashian-Jenners) es debidamente admirada, luego los muchachos se escabullen para vestirse en privado y regresar para una inspección grupal. Ellos son extremadamente particulares acerca de la ropa. "Son perfeccionistas", un miembro del personal señala con orgullo cinco veces ese día. Los dobladillos están esposados, sin mangas y vueltos a clavar hasta que tocan el tobillo; Jungkook se queja con un cinturón para perfeccionar el ajuste, mientras que Jimin y Suga comparan los aretes de cadena de plata, que quedan largos para cepillar sus collares. Jin entra rápidamente, se encoge de hombros con un par de botas de cowboy azul aciano y mete una cuña de Castella en la boca.

Unos 45 minutos más tarde, los chicos se amontonan en un sofá mostaza y relatan alegremente los momentos más destacados de los últimos siete días: conocer a Post Malone en las AMA, Panda Express de aeropuerto, y pasar a su versión favorita de la jerga estadounidense. "¡Enséñanos algo!", Pregunta RM, antes Rap Monster, el líder. Un editor propone "lituation", un acrónimo de "lit" y "situation".

Sus ojos brillan, como si les hubieran dado un juguete nuevo y brillante. "Lituation! Esa es Hella Lit ".

Y así fue.

Por ahora, todo lo que hay que saber sobre BTS ha salido en entrevistas. BTS significa Bangtan Sonyeondan, o Bulletproof Boy Scouts; El verano pasado, a medida que crecía su visibilidad en EE. UU., agregaron el significado Beyond The Scene. La banda de siete miembros debutó en 2013 a través de Big Hit Entertainment, una compañía de entretenimiento con sede en Seúl que ha sido un jugador más pequeño. Inicialmente, su música tomó más el rap y el hip-hop. En 2015, cambiaron de dirección y comenzaron a atraer la atención internacional con pistas de baile de alta energía ("Dope") y canciones de toques EDM ("Save Me"), pero Big Hit se mantuvo enfocado en Asia (este editor intentó filmar a la banda ese verano, pero fue rechazado).

Todo cambió el pasado mes de mayo en los Billboard Music Awards 2017, cuando BTS viajó a Las Vegas para aceptar Top Social Artist con trajes de seda Saint Laurent y la posterior agitación en Twitter (la plataforma preferida de la banda) hizo que el resto del mundo tomara nota. A partir de ahí, la atención creció como una bola de nieve, y para el momento en que habían programado sus vuelos a la costa oeste, la prensa y los fanáticos estaban listos para atacar. Cuando llegaron a LAX, fueron recibidos por un chillido de chicas y chicos que gritaban contra la línea de guardias de seguridad con camisas amarillas que habían formado una pared humana para protegerlos.

El viaje de L.A. fue una especie de hito cultural pop no visto desde que los Beatles llegaron a Nueva York (o llegó One Direction, bueno, a cualquier parte), pero de diferente magnitud. Para innumerables asiático-americanos, ha significado todo ver a siete coreanos ser celebrados a escala mundial. De vuelta a casa, los coreanos están asombrados de ver a un grupo propio ir tan lejos (inusualmente, BTS explotó en el extranjero primero, solo habiendo ganado su primer daesang, un importante premio de música coreana, en 2016). Los chicos lo saben también: en el transcurso de nuestro día con ellos, pasan gran parte de su tiempo maravillosamente impresionados por la atención.

"Todavía es difícil creer que esté sucediendo", dice Jin. "Es como un sueño."

Son las 3:45 p.m. y los muchachos finalmente han subido al autobús de la fiesta (¿de qué otra manera viajar en L.A. que con un pequeño séquito?). La cuenta final: siete estrellas de K-pop, tres editores de Vogue, un equipo de video de cuatro personas, un manager, un guardaespaldas, un traductor, un artista de maquillaje, un asistente y el conductor. El resto del equipo (tres guardaespaldas adicionales, dos estilistas y un asistente de maquillaje, más managers y dos publicistas) los siguen en relucientes Escalades negros. El autobús está forrado con asientos de cuero y armado con luces de colores intermitentes y un poste de plata en el centro. Aquí también hay bocadillos: botellas de Coca-Cola congeladas, que los chicos se pasan unos a otros, pretzels cubiertos de yogur, barras Kind y una bolsa de queso Doritos que Jimin toma alegremente y dice: "¡Estos son mis favoritos!" “¿Este es el tipo de lugar donde se tiene una fiesta? ", pregunta Jin, mirando el poste con cierta sospecha. Una vez que se explica que el autobús de la fiesta lo lleva de club en club ("para que la fiesta no se detenga"), el grupo queda atónito ("Guau, estadounidenses ..."). Agradablemente, J-Hope conecta su teléfono al sistema de sonido para reproducir una selección de sus canciones favoritas: "Havana", "Dirty Pop". Se relajan por primera vez en días, con el estrés de las AMA detrás de ellos, parecen llenos de energía reprimida. El bajo sacude las paredes, y V toma dos tapas descartadas de botellas de Coca-Cola y se las mete en los ojos, sonriendo y riéndose salvajemente. Jin y RM se turnan y saltan alrededor del polo de una manera dramática, hasta que todos los miembros del equipo y la tripulación se ríen también.

¿Por qué BTS es tan popular?

Están lejos de ser el primer artista surcoreano en hacer ruido en los Estados Unidos: SNSD con su éxito viral "Gee", Rain, quien derrotó a Stephen Colbert por el mejor influente de Time en 2007 (según votación de los fanáticos), pero la atención a su alrededor se siente diferente. Todo se reduce al momento: en el momento correcto, encontraron un grupo de fanáticos ferozmente leales llamado ARMY, quiénes se enamoraron enseguida, crecieron rápido y entregaron a sus chicos el estrellato internacional. Sin embargo, también hay que considerar el panorama actual de los medios. Es por eso que los Premios de la Música Billboard marcaron un punto de inflexión; los medios vieron el potencial de visitas a la página, pero el aumento exponencial en la cobertura que los ha seguido se ha sentido a veces, para consternación de ARMY, poco sincero.

Tomemos como ejemplo a James Corden, quien provocó una ira por complacer a los fanáticos. Peor aún eran los entrevistadores estadounidenses que no habían realizado ninguna investigación y hacían preguntas a menudo condescendientes y desinformadas, como "¿Bailas?" Cuando son conocidas por ello. Ha sido duro para ARMY ver entrevistas breves, realizadas por personas que apenas saben (y ciertamente no les importa) sobre los chicos, solo la atención que podrían brindarles; en muchos sentidos, han sido tratados como una novedad asiática.

Sin embargo, el mundo de la moda parece ansioso de abrazarlos en términos más equilibrados, algo que a los muchachos les gusta bastante. Llevaban Saint Laurent de Anthony Vaccarello para las dos apariciones en la alfombra roja de EE. UU.; pasan mucho tiempo preocupándose por los relojes y pendientes, y documentando su aspecto diario. En el autobús de la fiesta, toman mordiscos cuidadosos de sus perritos calientes con mostaza, con cuidado de no derramar una gota. Son grandes admiradores de marcas como Gucci, WTAPS y Calvin (y Raf, en este caso), aunque en Corea, el precio de CK es bastante elevado debido a los aranceles de importación. "¿Qué tal un descuento grupal: 30 paquetes de camisas de Calvin por 30 dólares, cómo es eso?", Propone Jungkook, riendo. "¿Tenemos un trato?"

El otoño pasado, BTS fue abordado por un camarógrafo afuera de un famoso puesto de perritos calientes cerca de Hollywood. Las imágenes se volvieron virales y rápidamente se difundieron rumores de que la banda había cancelado un "Meet&Greet" sin ninguna razón. Por supuesto, la verdad es que nunca hubo uno, sino una sesión de fotos privada con esta revista: el propietario firma un acuerdo estándar, parte del cual estipula que el evento está cerrado al público. Más tarde, la cuenta de Twitter del puesto publica la hora exacta en la que llegaría la banda y anima a los fanáticos a venir.

El autobús se detiene para ver al menos tres equipos de cámaras, incluyendo ABC News y TMZ, y una multitud de fanáticos esperando; la sesión ya no es posible. Para cumplir con el cronograma, el equipo se ve obligado a moverse unas pocas cuadras. Eventualmente, algunos camarógrafos encuentran la nueva ubicación; un hombre particularmente agresivo comienza a gritar sobre sus derechos a un guardaespaldas (el guardia, sin entender el inglés, está literalmente inmóvil). El rodaje se ve obligado terminar y los muchachos vuelven a subir al autobús.

"Vas a perder a todos tus fanáticos estadounidenses incluso antes de que llegues aquí", les grita.

"¿Qué dijo él?" Preguntan a bordo. Parecen nerviosos, aunque en su mayoría confundidos por el asunto del pánico. El equipo de maquillaje y peluquería se apresura a aplicar aceite de hierbas detrás de sus cuellos y ofrece relajantes masajes en los hombros.

Una vez que sus comentarios son traducidos, sin embargo, la tensión disminuye y se ríen.

"¡Dile que le agradecemos por preocuparse por nosotros!", dice J-Hope, sonriendo.

"Sí”, dice Jungkook “¡muchas gracias!"

Incluso el equipo de Big Hit, aunque abiertamente disgustado, parecen privadamente emocionado. "¡Los paparazzi estaban aquí!", Dice uno al pasar. "Eso significa que realmente lo logramos, eh". Retrocedemos a 2014 cuando BTS llegó a L.A. para filmar un reality show, American Hustle Life, donde aprendieron sobre la cultura del hip-hop. En un pasaje memorable, los chicos son enviados a la calle para acercarse a personas al azar e invitarlos a protagonizar su vídeo musical con poco éxito. Ahora, son los equipos de seguridad y TMZ.

Una escena más feliz se desarrolla en Dave and Buster's, la cadena de juegos arcade para adultos, donde a los chicos se les da una tarjeta de puntos ilimitada y se les deja libres. Esa noche de la semana, el lugar está tranquilo, solo un puñado de familias con niños pequeños que matan el tiempo; no se presta mucha atención al atractivo grupo de atrás. Jungkook y Jin corren hacia la máquina de DDR (Dance Dance Revolution, juego de baile) y se enfrentan, sus botas de charol de vaquero lanzándose frenéticamente por la alfombra. Suga y Jimin buscan un juego de disparos en primera persona, mientras que J-Hope y RM comienzan a lanzar canastas. Al otro lado del camino, V atrae la atención de un niño pequeño: "¡Mamá, estaban anoche en la televisión!", dice el niño, y se toma una selfie con él antes de volver su atención a una máquina donde arrojas balones de tamaño diferente aros. "¡Espera, esto es realmente difícil!", dice, llamando a Jimin para que tome un turno (Jimin tira sin esfuerzo alguno a las ranuras correctas). Su energía es contagiosa, y aparentemente ilimitada. Después de que el rodaje se ha terminado, y se han inclinado educadamente ante todo el staff, los siete muchachos abordan sus Escalades y regresan al hotel. Caminan a sus habitaciones separadas, se ponen ropa nueva y continúan una entrevista que se interrumpió esa tarde. A la mañana siguiente, muy temprano, aparecen en The Ellen DeGeneres Show, luego se dirigen directamente a LAX y regresan a Seúl para comenzar los ensayos de final de año, practicando hasta altas horas de la noche. Sin duda están cansados, pero aun así, sonríen y siguen adelante. Tal vez la belleza se encuentra en ese nivel básico: solo siete chicos jóvenes, disfrutando del paseo.

A ese niño pequeño... tanta ternura no puedo T.T

Ya saben qué es lo primero que hacen cuando llegan a un lugar “Otros miembros hacen una línea recta hacia la pila de bocadillos en el aparador” jejejeje así es... comer xD
