you're laying on the couch, nose stuffy and filled with tissues. you were always sensitive when you were sick, your head feeling like it's spinning and your body betraying you anytime you tried to stand up. chan was always a caregiver, he loved taking care of the people he adored. not one day went by where he didn't ask if you needed help or needed anything, you could always reassure him that his presence was enough, much to his scoffing.
☆⌒ヽ bangchan
warnings/other: living together, established relationship
you needed help to go to the shower, the steam would probably help. plus, you hadn't showered in two days due to how sick you were.
"babe?" you called out, voice weak.
"baabe?" you squeaked once again, trying to lift yourself from the couch. "baaaaabe?" and nothing, but you can hear him tip toeing around somewhere, the clunking sound of a bottle hitting the bathroom floor.
"babe!" you half yell, still trying to push your self from the couch.
chan rounds the corner, eyes frowning as he taps on the side of his headphone, "what?!" he screams at you, eyes scrunching and brows furrowed.
you burst into tears, suddenly feeling like you're in trouble for wanting help. "i'm sorry, i didn't know you were busy." you can barely speak, voice raspy and quiet.
"what?" he speaks again, pulling his headphones to rest on the back of his neck. this time his voice more gentle. he sees the tears forming in your eyes and immediately comes to your side. "what's wrong?"
"don't yell at me." you say through tears, hands coming to rub your eyes.
"shit," he curses, rubbing the sides of your arms, "sorry, i had my head phones on, i was running you a bath."
"oh," you sob, still letting yourself cry your hands dropping to your lap, "i thought you were angry at me."
"oh my god," he says pushing your messy hair out of your eyes while wiping the last of your tears. he sighs, "i just couldn't hear you silly."
"i've run you a bath, do you wanna have one together?" he stops and gives you a sniff, "you need one."
you frown, using the last of your strength to push him away, but it fails. "yes please..."
--
you're balls deep in your game, you've never been so focused on a game in your life. it's the final battle fight of the last of us 2, you wipe away tears at the scene before you folding out, feeling conflicted as the characters fight in the water.
☆⌒ヽ felix
warnings/other: living together, established relationship, cussing
"ahh!" you yell a bit too loud as you feels more tears form, "this is fucked up, fuck you both, fuck off this is so unfair."
"what did you say to me?" felix says, turning from his pc to look at you. "did you just tell me to fuck off?"
"what?" you turn to felix, eyes back darting back to the screen for a moment, still in the middle of the battle.
"what the hell? why did you tell me to fuck off?" felix says as he scrunches his nose, clearly upset and confused. "what the fuck?"
"no! oh my god, no." you scrambled to pause the game, getting to your feet to stand by felix, "no, no, i was talking to the game!"
"you lyin'?"
you roll your eyes, "why would i say that to you? ellie is fighting abby, and i'm telling them both to fuck off, not you!"
"oh," he says, pleasantly surprised, "valid then."
you press a gentle kiss to his forehead, he looks up at you still kinda upset. "baby, if i were to ever tell you to fuck off it'd be because you ate the last of the bread."
he smiles, eyes crinkling into moons, "oh that's true."
"you wanna watch?"
he scoffs, "god no, i already cried at that a month ago. hell no."
--
"get back here!" changbin screams, running across the field to catch you.
☆⌒ヽ changbin (LMAO THE PIC)
warnings/other: new relationship, play fighting
"no, no!" you yell back, a grin on your lips, you dart around the edge of the tree, seemingly hidden (well, you think at least.)
dating changbin had been a whirlwind, he was kind, funny, silly in the best ways and so cared for you like no one had. it had only been a month, but you were so damn in love with him, even though you were still getting to know him. everyday you were excited to find out more about him, it was never enough.
there's a silence in the air, your eyes dart around the edge of the tree. after a moment or two, a voice screams suddenly, "got you!"
"ah!" you scream, feeling hands aggressively wrap themselves around your waist. you had always been a scaredy-cat, any loud sound would startle you and send you into a frightened mess.
"all mine!" he said as he pulled you to the ground, arms still wrapped around your waist.
you feel trapped, his large arms wrapping around you. you can feel the anxiety in your chest, flight taking it's hold over freeze.
"changbin! that really scared me!" you cry out, but he's relentless.
"too bad, i win!" he chuckles loudly, pushing you to lay on your back, his muscles bulging as he pins you there. he slowly loses his smile when he meets your upset scowl, mouth turned down at the sides.
"baby, no-" he says searching your face, "i'm so sorry, was that too much?"
"yes," you say in a low tone, wrapping your arms around his neck. "i get startled easily,"
"i didn't know, i'm sorry." he apologises again, lifting you up to deepen the hug. you melt into his frame, enjoying being engulfed by your boyfriend, though pocket sized, he seemed much bigger than you in moments like this.
this is your chance to get him back, you smile into his neck before pressing a sharp bite down on his collarbone.
"hey!"
--
usually, hyunjin was the patient one.
☆⌒ヽ hyunjin
warnings/other: living together, established relationship
he would always happy to wait for you when you were getting ready, always be okay with you needed to run back inside and pee because you would probably forget and always, he would always wait for you to tell him what you wanted or how you felt, never pushy once.
you were upset, getting fired from your job. it wasn't your fault, just the reality of the job market right now. 'no more funds.' they had said. you were floundering., wallowing in self pity (and rightfully so.)
when hyunjin arrives home, it's ten oclock at night. you're sitting on the couch, balled in a blanket. the lights are off, black smoke seeming to surround your nest of pillows, the only light on your face was from the tv.
"hey beautiful-" hyunjin says cheerily before being met with your tired eyes, black rings around the bottom. "what's wrong?
"nothing." you scoff, hiding more of yourself.
"babe-" he says softly, kicking his shoes off and dropping his bag. he comes to your side immediately, hands rubbing up and down your side. you say nothing, shifting away from his touch.
he sighs, "you wanna tell me what's wrong?" he seems tired.
"no." you say lowly, turning up the tv volume.
"are you... sure?"
you say nothing as you kick him with your foot, still wallowing and watching the tv.
"fine, be like that." he scowls, voice slightly raised as he shakes his head. he shuffles to the kitchen counter, gripping the soda left on the bench top. he takes a sip, looking back at you, clearly annoyed. "i'm not in the mood."
hyunjin was never one to raise his voice, never had he done that to you. he patience seemed to have be worn thin this time.
"no i didn't-" you sigh, trying to gather your words.
'i have bad days too you know, it's not just you."
you sit up, blanket falling down the back of you. he's right, he's always right. "that was not cool, i'm sorry."
you look over him with sad eyes. he's now leaning over the counter, hands digging into his scalp.
you get up from the couch, readjusting the blanket over yourself as you shuffle to his side. you bump your head into his shoulder, looking up at him with wide eyes. "i love you."
"i love you too," he sighs, leaning his head on yours.
you sit like that for a moment before he speaks. "i got fired."
"no way same."
you both look at each and laugh in disbelief, how on earth did this happen?
--
jeongin was so cute, so damn cute. he reminded you of how cute he was every time he did, well, basically anything. but sometimes, he was really secretive. you didn't know why, until you had come to his house the first time. you hadn't been together long, but you were over joyed when he invited you over for dinner.
☆⌒ヽ jeongin
warnings/other: fresh relationship, not smutty but heavy descriptions and mentions of hentai lmao, pg i guess
"bone app the teeth!" he chimed, placing down the bolognaise he had made. it looked and smelled delicious, and you loved the cute frog bowls he had put them in. it made him that much cuter.
"eee! it looks so yummy." you squealed, "wait gotta pee."
"okay, down the hall to the left" he said plopping himself down, proud of his masterpiece. he sat up, making sure to clarify. "oh not the second door, the first one!"
you didn't hear the last part as hurriedly made your way down the hall. you looked at two doors, two seemingly the same. 'i think he said the second?'
you open the door in a hurry, being met with a large pillow of an anime woman, giant boobs out and her legs parting in display. you just stand there in shock, taking in the sight before you.
"helloooo." you said curiously, stepping into the bedroom. on the light stand there was a figurine. her boobs were seemingly wet, the short skirt she had lifted up behind her, thong busting out. a few more adornments, mostly lewd plastered the room.
"babe?" he called out as he walked down the hall. his eyes met with your curious ones, a smirk slapped across your face.
"babe!" he yelled, pulling you back by your arms. "i said first door! why didn't you listen!?"
"ow!" you said in surprise, feeling a lump of guilt building in your throat. he had never yelled at you before and it scared you. "i'm sorry i didn't hear you."
he sighed shaking his head, "i told you not to go in my room!"
"stop yelling at me..." you mumbled, wincing away from him.
quickly he pulled you out of his room, accidentally slamming the door behind him, it made you jump.
"jeongin-" you started but the lump in your throat grow. "i just got the wrong door, don't yell at me."
you stood in silence for a moment before he spoke up, rubbing the back of his neck, an unsure grin on his face, "i just didn't want you to see yet, i'm sorry i yelled."
you turn back to him, eyes tracing his face. he'd been caught. "theeee hentai?" you smirked, standing on your tippy toes.
jeogin's face burnt red, ears tingling with embarrassment. he scrambled to say something, but nothing came out. just splutters of words.
you laugh, "do you seriously think i'd be upset about that?"
"i don't know..." he says under his breath, looking everywhere but you.
"hm," you ponder, finger on your chin, "i don't know how i'd look in a thong, i might not have the ass for it."
jeongin looks like he's going to burst, his expression surprised and embarrassed by your words.
you sigh, taking his hand in yours, "it's fine but don't ever yell at me again, okay?"
"okay..." he says looking to the ground, feeling stupidly sorry for his actions.
"besides," you begin, smiling at him, "maybe you'd look better in a skirt and thong."
--
"wake up!" is all you hear as you jolt upwards, your forehead sweaty and breath heavy coming from your chest.
☆⌒ヽ jisung
warnings/other: living together, established relationship, mentions of nightmares and knives (not bad i promise lol)
you had a nightmare, which didn't happen often. the dreams you usually had were just an information dump of your day mixed in with people you had thought about, but this felt real, the feeling of fright still tingling in your body.
you look over at jisung, his eyes sleepy but still looking at yours.
"hey, you okay?" he speaks, voice raspy.
"no!" you yelp, busting into tears, still feeling shaken by your nightmare. "you were following me, telling me you were going to kill me! why were you yelling?"
"what?" jisung says in a confused tone, hand coming to your shoulder to stable himself.
you shrug his hand off, "you were going to kill me, why would you do that?"
"what are you talking about?" he mumbles, sitting half upward.
"in my dream," you begin by taking a deep breath, "you were chasing me with a knife, it was so scary."
"i'm... sorry?" he says, still so confused, "i didn't mean to?"
"oh," you breath out, tears slowly stopping. "i still cant believe you'd do that. i'm... damn."
"i'm sorry i tried to kill you in your dream. it was wrong of me...?" he mumbles again, eyes trying to find sleep.
"yeah, yeah it was." you breathe out, "don't do that again."
"okay... i won't." he sleepily sighs, his body falling back to the pillow. "i can't believe... i did that, what a ...dog act from me. asshole."
"absolute dog act, you dick." you finish before you feel your body laying back, waiting for sleep to capture you.
"so wrong of me, i'm such an idiot." he mutters, his lips pressing against the pillow, already falling asleep.
--
you scoff, eyes slowly closing your tiredness overtaking you. "damn right."
aussie slang: dog act if you don't know lol
"c'mon, just let me see." you yell through the crack of his changing room, attention turning from your phone. "i'm sure it's fine."
☆⌒ヽ lee know
warnings/other: close friends who like each other, uh lee know half naked??? spicy lee know, play fighting
"it's not." he says from the change room. you can hear his sighs through the curtain, frustration in them whenever he tries on another piece.
"do you need help?" you start, sliding yourself to the other side of the bench in front of the changing room.
"no!" he fumbles, dropping another item.
you sigh, hand slipping to grab onto the curtain, "i'm coming in!"
"no-!"
you're instantly met with his crotch, boxers tight across his hips, and you can see that. yes, the outline of that. your brows raise, certainly surprised with the view in front of you. his boxers had the kittens on them, cute little kittens of all colours and a pink background. you loved it, you can't deny.
"uh..." you start, not knowing what to do. you'd liked lee know for a while, so you can't say you're entirely horrified. you slowly raise your eyes to his, confusion and annoyance on his face.
you just sit there, his eyes burning into yours, just both staring at each other before he pushes on your face, leading you to fall back off of the bench. "don't do that!"
"ack!" you fall back yelping back hitting the ground with a thud, "i'm sorry i just wanted to help!"
he raises his voice slightly, anger present in his tone, "yeah, well i'm fucking naked!"
you feel bad, you've pushed a boundary and you didn't even realise you had been edging on it. "i'm sorry." you choke out, feeling bad for invading his privacy. you were close but not that close, yet.
you just lay there, ashamed of yourself for what you did, not thinking about his boundaries. after a minute he comes out, you're still laying on the ground in defeat.
he purses his lips in anger as he grabs the side of your ear, wrenching it towards him.
"ah shit!" you screech, laughter behind your words, "i'm sorry! aha i'm sorry! stop it!"
"you done?" he says through his teeth, still pulling on your ear.
"haha yes! it tickles and hurts!" you giggle, mouthing ouch a few times. he gives you a final tug before he finally let's go of your ear.
you get to your feet, rubbing the side of your ear. you both walk in silence before he halts you, eyes glaring into your own.
"if you wanna see me naked just say so, at least i can put better boxers on."
it was your turn to go red in the face, but you smirk instead, hiding your face, "i like those ones."
"really?" he questions, pondering your words, but seems impatient in his tone. "i'll wear em for you this weekend then, you staying over or not?"
you nod hurriedly, instantly agreeing to his plans.
"aw," he stops, clearly enjoying your agreeance and the new realm of flirting with you, "cat got your tongue?
you smack him on the arm, "stop!"
--
"do these look good?" seungmin asks, raising the brown frames to his face. no, no they don't. they absoutely don't. you try to hold in a laugh, your hand coming to your mouth.
☆⌒ヽ seungmin lalsdjka that pic always gets me
warnings/other: established relationship, seungmin thinks he's funny
"umm... maybe?"
he sighs, raising them a bit. "how about now?"
"uh," you begin, trying to hold in your laugh, "sure?"
passive aggressively he throws them back on the rack, turning on his heel to walk to the next section. you follow behind him, you can sense he's getting frustrated trying to find the right sunglasses. his vision wasn't the best without his glasses, so he needed your help trying them on. no contacts in today.
"hmm," he ponders, picking up anther pair. they're so ugly, rectangle and frames way too dark. no one would suit them, that's probably why they're on sale.
"um... maybe?"
"you already said that!" he says, frustration in his voice. "if you're not going to help, just leave."
you feel kind of hurt at his tone, but continue to follow behind him. you can't help but feel the anxiety in your chest, he wanted your advice but never listened anyways so you thought it best to be quiet.
suddenly he turns to look at you, feeling the awkward tension he's created. he throws his hands in the air. "what?!"
"hey don't yell," you start, wincing a bit at his words, "i just don't think those suited you..."
he takes the sight of you in, realising he's upset you, "shit- i'm sorry baby, i'm just annoyed i can't find a good pair. this is so hard."
you grab his hands and bring them to your chest, your eyes looking up at him, "thank you for apologising, you don't gotta be so mean."
he bends down to press a kiss on your lips, it's gentle with apology laced in it. he takes in a sharp breath before leaning back, "okay, which ones?"
"circle, definitely."
he turns to face the other section, hand gently melding to yours. the pair he picks up are just as ugly as the others.
"no," you begin interrupting him. you let go of his hand and pick up a dark circle frame pair of simple sunglasses, "these one's."
"really?" he questions, brows raised.
"just try them."
he sighs, bringing the frames to sit on his ears. "yes or no?"
"oh definitely, these are the ones. you gotta trust me."
he pouts and rolls his eyes, "oookay."

The ringing of your phone ripped you from your sleep, the shreds of a nightmare still clinging to your sweaty skin. You couldn't recall what the nightmare had been about, but an overwhelming feeling of terror lingered even now. Shaking your head to clear the cobwebs from your brain, you reached for your phone and answered the incoming call.
"Hello?"
"Y/N, where the hell are you?! You're 45 minutes late for your shift and Mr. Lee is losing his shit. You need to get over here as fast as you can!"
Looking at the time on your phone had your eyes in disbelief. How in the world had you slept this long? "Fuck, I'm so sorry. I'll be right over."
Cursing under your breath, you leap from bed and yank your uniform out of the closet. As you slapped on some makeup and dragged a brush through your hair, you prayed that your boss would be understanding and give you another chance. Throwing your phone in your bag and grabbing your keys, you raced out the door.
On the way to the restaurant you forced yourself to drive the speed limit, even though you wanted to go faster. Getting pulled over would just make you even later and that was the last thing you wanted.
Upon arriving you snatched up your things and ran across the parking lot to the back door. Flinging it open, you stepped in and were immediately greeted with Mr. Lee's bright red face. Freezing in place, you watched as a fat finger came up to wave in front of your face.
"I've had just about all I'm gonna take, young lady! I gave you this job because I'm a family friend and I felt bad for the position you've been put in. But compassion can only go so far, and I've given you too many second chances.
"At the end of the day, I have a business to run and it's not fair to me, the customers, or the other wait staff if someone has to cover your ass every time you oversleep. I really hate to do this, but today will be your last day working here."
You bit your lip to keep it from trembling as you watched him walk away. Deep down you knew he was right, and you felt incredibly guilty for disappointing someone who had been like a father to you. Taking a deep breath, you willed yourself to remain calm. The tears could come later, once you were alone. Right now you had a job to do, and you owed it to Mr. Lee to make your last day count.
As soon as you finished your shift, you headed to Mr. Lee's office to collect your final payment and turn in your name tag. The envelope he handed you was thicker than you'd expected, and you looked at him in confusion.
He smiled sympathetically. "Just because I fired you doesn't mean I stopped caring. I know things are hard right now, so I gave you a little extra to help hold you over until you find a new job."
You blinked, suddenly swallowing around a lump of tears. "T-Thank you Mr. Lee. I'm sorry things had to turn out this way."
Mr. Lee stood and hugged you tightly. "Me too. I'll still be checking in on you, so keep your chin up kiddo. Things will turn around one day."
Nodding, you thanked him once more and left the restaurant.
Back in your car now, you made the drive you've been making every evening for the last year and a half. After parking outside the hospital, you walked in and took the elevator to the cancer wing. You greeted the nurse at the nurse's station with a smile, after your many visits she had become something of a friend to you.
"She's in her room, having her dinner. She's expecting you."
You smiled at the nurse and walked down the left hallway. You'd memorised the room number by now. Pushing the door open, you smiled at the slight woman sitting upright in the bed eating her dinner from a tray.
“Hi Mom.” You said with a soft smile as you closed the door behind you.
Your mom looked up as you entered, her entire face lighting up at the sight of you.
"Y/N, my little dove, I was hoping you'd turn up soon! Have you eaten yet?"
You shook your head as you sat down in the chair situated next to her bed. "I came here straight after work, like always. I'll eat when I get back home." Reaching out to take her thin hand in your own, you changed the subject. "So, how was your day today?"
A grim look crossed your mom's pale features. "Dr. Kwang visited me this morning. He said the current course of treatment has stopped working, so they're going to have to start doing chemotherapy."
You felt your heart sink into your stomach. The chemo was going to be so much more expensive, and with you now out of a job there was no way you could pay for her to continue getting treated. Then you remembered the envelope in your purse with your wages plus the extra from Mr. Lee. You could keep a little out for yourself and give the rest to pay as much of the chemo as you could.
You spent some more time with your mom, then left to go find Dr. Kwang. He was in his office, probably expecting a visit from you due to the change in treatment.
“Ah, Y/N. I trust your mother told you about the chemo?”
You nodded and he continued.
“As we discussed previously, the chemo will cost more. Are you still able to support your mother's treatment?"
Taking the envelope from your purse, you flipped through the bills within, doing some quick maths in your head. Keeping back enough for you to get by for a little bit, you handed over the rest.
"This should be a good starting place until I can get ahold of some more."
Dr. Kwang smiled at you as he took the money. "I admire your drive, young lady. Most young people these days would just throw their parents in a home and never look back."
You blushed a little, unused to such praise. "She sacrificed so much to raise me all on her own, it's the least I can do."
"She must be so proud to have you as her daughter."
You blushed a little deeper, then put the envelope back in your purse and stood. "I'm proud to have her as my mother. Thank you for taking care of her when I could not. Good evening Dr. Kwang." You nodded to him once more and exited his office.
As you walked back to your car you ended up behind two young women not much older than you and happened to hear a part of their conversation.
"Have you heard that rumour about the Library of Illusion and the treasure that supposedly resides within?"
"I have actually. Isn't it supposed to be in the woods around the town?"
"Yeah it is! Maeri said she wanted to see what it was all about, so we're going up there this weekend to check it out."
Intrigued and wanting to find out more on your own, you stepped around the women and hurried to your car. On the drive home all you could think about was the "treasure" and how much it would help your mom with her treatment if you could get ahold of it.
Once you had returned home, changed into comfortable clothes, and eaten some food you booted up your laptop and Googled "Library of Illusion". The first result that popped up was a Wikipedia page containing the location, along with the sparse information known by the general public. Plugging the location into the GPS on your phone revealed that the Library was a good ways away from where your apartment was.
The town you lived in was in a bowl-like valley surrounded by mountains except for the cutout where the road was. The Library was nestled on a perfectly-sized plateau halfway up the tallest mountain in the eastern range, which put it out of reach for all but the most determined.
You hadn't been mountain climbing since your mom was first diagnosed with cancer, so you were rusty at best. But you'd do almost anything at this point to ensure your mom had the best possible chance of surviving. So you researched what gear you would need for such an arduous climb, then used the money from Mr. Lee plus some of what you had in savings to purchase everything.
It took several days for everything to arrive, but once the last package was delivered you began to pack things up and plan when you would begin your journey. You decided that the sooner you left, the sooner you'd be able to return. So you made plans to leave the following day as early as you could manage.
Your mind firmly made up, you went to bed earlier than usual. Tomorrow you would get that treasure and then you would be able to fully support your mom.
You woke the next day to the ear-splitting crash of thunder as rain pounded on the roof like it was trying to get inside.
"What a lovely day for mountain climbing." You muttered to yourself as you slipped from under the warm blankets to begin getting ready.
You dressed warmly to combat the cold rain and had a quick breakfast before grabbing your phone, gear and keys and heading out.
Twenty minutes later you arrived at the base of the mountain you would be climbing. Parking under a handy overhang of trees laden with thick ivy, you got out and began to gear up. By the time you were ready to start climbing, the rain had subsided and the sun was making its way out from behind the clouds. A smile rose to your face as you placed your hands upon the mountain and began to climb.
The next three days were a constant cycle of climb until dark, find a flat enough place to set up your tent, sleep until morning, then eat and begin the routine again. By the afternoon of day three you were starting to lose hope, thinking maybe this was all a dream and there was no library way up in the mountains.
Then you came to a flat place that seemed the biggest one you'd encountered yet, and your heart soared. Pulling your weary body up onto solid ground, you found yourself in front of a huge building that looked centuries older than it probably was. After a short rest and some food, you walked closer as a storm brewed overhead.
Ivy covered the majority of the brick walls, the gold on the door handles dim and tarnished. Taking a deep breath, you pushed them open and stepped inside.
The interior was far more well kept than outside, and if you didn't know better you'd have a hard time believing this was the same building.
The first thing that caught your eye was the front desk, or more accurately, the handsome man seated behind it. Feeling suddenly shy, you slowly approached him.
He was much more good-looking up close, bordering more towards beautiful than handsome. His hair was cotton candy pink, and slicked back stylishly. Chocolate brown eyes glanced up suddenly, amused at having caught you staring.
"May I help you?" His voice, almost as deep as the thunder roaring outside, jerked you back to the present moment.
"M-My name is Y/N, I heard about the treasure a-and…."
"And you wanted to see if the rumours were true?"
You nodded.
"Well, Miss Y/N, my name is Seonghwa and I am the Keeper of The Keys here in the Library. The rumours you've heard are more or less true. There is treasure here, but it is housed in the Restricted Section and requires several keys to access it."
Hope flared in your heart, and you leaned forward a bit. "How do I get those keys?"
"You must get them from the Guardians of the main sections within this library: Science Fiction, Horror, History, Mystery, Fantasy and Adventure."
"And how does that work exactly?"
"In each section there will be a special book that will send you into a dream-like state and transport you to wherever the Guardian is. The first time or two you might be somewhat aware that your surroundings are fabricated, but the deeper in you go the more real things will feel. Once you have obtained all the keys, bring them back to me and we can proceed from there."
Seonghwa led you over to a set of double doors and pulled them open. Inside you could see plaques announcing the many different sections. Determined, you stepped forward, deciding to go for the Mystery section first.
"I wish you luck Y/N." Seonghwa said as he closed the doors behind you.

Let your S(e)oul take you where you long to be (v) - Christines, Raouls, and the last of this review
Finally finally fishing my reviews of August 8 and 9 shows (two months later, so embarrassing)
Christine
The first Christine I've seen is Song Eun-hye who showed herself to be a young wide-eyed Christine with a powerful belt (she gave an especially hair-standing Wishing). She was already fearful of the Phantom from the start and for most of the performance and it seemed being agape was her main play of the character until eventually becoming sympathetic to the Phantom (Cho Seung-woo) by Final Lair. It's a bit typical for me and I was looking for more variation, but from what I'm reading from her current performances, she's been even more emotive. I think she's still very much a work in progress but actually off to a good start.
Son Ji-soo reminded me of those 1950s/1960s film actresses with her physical features and the way she sang (very classical trained). That kind of presence hooked me in. At first she showed herself to be an excited Christine who was inspired by singing and apparently by her unseen mentor (giving her a joyful Think of Me and even POTO title song). I like how she uses her hands in her acting especially to reach out to her co-stars (from Carlotta in Il Muto, to Raoul in AIAOY/Notes reprise, and to the Phantom (Jeon Dong-seok) when he's commanding her to leave the lair), I like handy Christines in general. Overall, I find myself leaning toward SJS's Christine as having a more unique impression, but I would love to see how SEH is now.
Raoul
Hwang Gun-ha has...the most unusual Raoul voice I've ever heard. In that it's way too deep. He surprises me each time he sings. Because he looks like this kpop idol but with such a low register, there was somewhat a disconnect. And when he's angry he gets ANGRY. Definitely kept me alert.
Song Won-geun played an ever-reliable Raoul and ticked the boxes of a conventional portrayal. He is the Raoul you'd expect to see, gentlemanly, protective, and heroic, but nothing that really jumps out, it's all by the label.
Notables
Kim Ah-sun (Madame Giry) - She looked the role and sang it well. (sorry kdrama geek out moment) she reminded me of Kim Seo-hyung in Sky Castle who was this tutor from hell, and that kind of gothic stern presence made her a very effective Giry.
Park Ha-rim (Piangi) - Loved this guy's enthusiastic portrayal of Piangi and he is always a crowd-favorite because of how he extends his notes. I like how his character fanboys over Carlotta and actually becomes quietly impressed with Christine during the Don Juan Rehearsals. His was such a dynamic portrayal.
Han Bo-ra / Lee Ji-young (Carlotta) - Han Bo-ra was the comedic Carlotta and Lee Ji-young was the elegant one. Both delightful in their own ways and both worked well with Park Ha-rim with LJY even lovingly coaching him during the Don Juan Rehearsals.
Shin Jae-hee (Buquet) - I like how his Buquet is natural and not exaggerated, he actually seems to be spooked out by the Phantom, too, which makes me feel sorry about his death. Also the corpse is such a deadringer of the actor it's legit terrifying.
Yoon Young-seok (Andre) - Last but not the least, our Phantom veteran is now a manager with possibly an anxiety disorder. It's funny knowing he was the terror who haunts the opera house now he gets easily spooked up and he has his hand to his heart. Such a poor guy, but also cute at times.
No doubt their performances are even better two months after I've seen them so definitely take these reviews as dated. I'm glad the show is going to Daegu but sad that not all cast members are going. This time I look forward to all your reviews!! And I sincerely hope everyone can have a chance to see this masterpiece of a production at the Charlotte Theatre to experience it yourselves.
Thank you so much for reading and apologies for how long it's taken!!

I've been trying to hold my tongue and not jump to conclusions but this just takes the cake BPP.
twitter. com / chain_7_/status/1630439943750434816.
This is after Seulgi said she won't sing Hype Boy so she doesn't "get into trouble" and company execs unironically called themselves Pink Bloods. I'm just astounded that this is still happening in 2023. Have things really not improved since 2017?
The depths of hatred, cringe, and ignorance from adults who should truly know better makes me almost want to weep Jesus Christ. I've read about SM group stans filing petitions with the Blue House of Korea because BTS won a kpop award and thought those days of insanity were behind us, but it's still happening NOW. It's amazing to me how all the things you said about kpop cultures in different companies is playing out in front of my eyes. I thought you were lying or exaggerating and truthfully, I've seen questionable behavior in army fandom too, but to see this kind of rot, from the top of that company, down to the fans who just mirror that sick banal behavior, and then the idols caught in the middle who can't even dance along to a popular song trend out of fear of angering their fans AND company executives. We are in hell.
And the gall of these people to then turn around and try to police armys' behavior?? It's giving Trump and Republicans 2.0 istg BPP and I'm sorry for ranting about this again in your inbox but seeing them sending trucks to Hybe building when they sat on their hands for decades while LSM skinned that company and the idols dry angers me so much! Did armys do something years ago to justify this hatred? Did BTS do something in 2013 that explains this behavior? I really don't understand how even SM executives can act like kpop stans on Twitter. Can you please explain this to me BPP??
Honestly, I get armys' behavior now. SM stans are everywhere in kpop and if I was surrounded with that kind of madness, I'd give them that energy back as well.
No matter if Hybe gets that majority stake or not, the things they have exposed in SM just in the last few weeks has soured my mind towards so many things in kpop and this is me being 100000% honest.
Yes I'm that petty.
I think you ignored my last ask because I had no evidence but I've included the link now. Is there any history of something BTS did that justifies more than a decade of hate and vitriol from fans of SM artists towards Hybe and anything connected to BTS? Real question so pls answer BPP.
***
Hi Anon,
Your link.
I ignored your asks not because you didn’t include evidence Anon. I ignored it because I honestly think you’re getting sucked in way too deep and I’ve seen this all happen before. As people prone to ‘discourse’ are wont to do, you seem to be getting far more invested into matters over which you have zero control, while stoking your anger over how the system works. And while giving you an outlet here could make you feel better and rally likeminded people to your cause, I feel it’s a counterproductive exercise at best because that also just further entrenches animosity and makes the whole space just more toxic.
But I feel you won’t move on unless you get an audience, so here we are. To answer the questions you asked:
There is nothing BTS or ARMY did years ago to justify the hate from the rest of k-pop fandom and from SM corporate executives towards anything connected to them. Except disrupting the system to be massively successful despite often doing the opposite of what was expected for a k-pop group and fandom, and still leaving the rest of the competition in the dust. Funny thing is SM executives way back in 2014 actually offered to buy BTS from Bang PD because they saw in them what we all see now. Bang PD obviously refused, and k-pop stans kept doing what k-pop stans do, as did the industry. Now, ARMYs today (especially after the Burning Sun madness in 2019 and the Jungkook gay club witch-hunt in 2020) have unfortunately gotten as good as the typical k-pop stan in giving back the same energy as good as they get, as well as platforming solo or akgae-lite voices in the fandom, and the fandom culture suffers significantly as a result. But yes the fact is that the animosity and hate towards BTS started out as a purely one-sided affair, with BTS and ARMYs taking the brunt of that insanity for years, until the last four years or so when ARMYs had the numbers to overwhelm the hate.
The typical k-pop stan is filled with resentment towards anything concerning BTS because they feel the group and fandom deserves to have a reckoning that will humble them. It’s a hatred that will persist for as long as BTS is at the top of the k-pop hierarchy because the underlying belief driving that hatred is that BTS does not deserve their status as other groups or idols are more deserving of the recognition and achievements. It’s why most of the criticism around BTS is centred around comparisons to ‘better’ groups or idols that aren’t getting the same recognition BTS is (obviously), regardless of the context. Or criticism around how BTS and the fandom respond to the system they’re situated in.
It’s essentially competition. With none of the sportsmanship, no referee in sight, and a mass of people who care more about ranting day and night about groups and fandoms they hate, rather than developing a knowledge base of the music and art created (however imperfectly) in this space. And what typically happens when competition becomes toxic and supercharged, is that it becomes politics.
That’s why the dynamics you see play out in k-pop fandoms is more akin to the dysfunctional political system in the US, rather than what you see in the Premier League (though they have their fair share of politics too). The typical k-pop stan is looking for Collective Guilt towards the fandom they hate to justify their behaviour since by that logic, BTS, yourself, and me are responsible for perceived slights done by the fandom, to other k-pop idols those stans support.
It’s why a couple weeks ago, a fan of SM groups walked into my replies, disagreed with me about Jungkook, but started cussing out ARMYs and the tannies immediately. That’s the kind of logical leap you make when you hate the subject, understand next to nothing about the underlying context, view the entire fandom of at least 5 million people as a uniform bloc, but are spoiling for a fight anyway.
This behaviour is also influenced by how the wider culture is dealing with a breakdown in civic institutions and traditional remediation channels. It’s happening everywhere now, not just in k-pop fandoms, but the structures informing those behaviours in k-pop have been entrenched for a long time.
And so Anon, I read your asks on SM, Hybe, k-pop and BTS and saw you’re falling into the same thinking patterns and beginning to conflate things that have no business being viewed together. For example:
Yes Seulgi skipped covering Hype Boy, but she was unclear about her reasons and there is no reason for you to fill in the gaps for her. Yes SM executives are explicitly, even somewhat myopically, anti-HYBE because they’ve tied up their economic interests with Kakao based on what has been disclosed so far, but that doesn’t mean every SM idol is prevented from enjoying art made by HYBE artists. You’re right about the culture of older k-pop companies and the fandoms of groups under those companies, but it’s pointless losing sleep over it because those behaviours are structurally supported.
There is nothing special about the hate BTS and those who love the group face in k-pop spaces. That hate is a function of how the system has been structured since at least 2009. If there was another k-pop group that approached the industry the way BTS did, and fostered the relationship with their fandom the way BTS did with ARMYs, they’d be on top and they’d be just as hated.
If hate from k-pop stans is something that bothers you, I suggest you avoid ‘discourse’, spend less time in k-pop fandom spaces online and try to build more fandom connections offline with a focus on what you genuinely love about BTS. Keep this SM-HYBE deal and the rest of k-pop discourse related to it at arms length because you cannot influence the outcome, and HYBE can take care of itself. For one thing you shouldn’t think your interests are identical to HYBE’s, but even if you were concerned, from a purely business standpoint HYBE’s downside in this deal is limited because they already own a stake they can always monetize later.
Detach, detox, and focus on what you love instead. It will do you far more good than getting upset over how millions of people behave in a system established by 20 years of incentives and culture.

today is my moaversary 🎉🎉🎉
tbh i actually started listening to txt around late 2019 to mid 2020 (crown and run away were both in my spotify wrapped), but only casually - like i didn't look up the members or anything - and i had just gotten into bts so getting into one kpop group was already enough to make my head spin lol. i only started deep diving into them in january 2023, fell in love with 0x1 = lovesong and loser lover with all their pop-punk influences, and was interested enough to watch one of those "helpful guide" youtube videos after that. just in time for temptation comeback!
their music got me through my master's thesis - i remember the temptation comeback being on the same day as my proposal presentation and i was trying SO HARD not to watch the sugar rush ride mv before the presentation or else i would lose my focus lol. when blue spring came out i was so obsessed with it that if spotify wrapped counted local files i'm pretty sure it would be my top song of 2023. i also played can't you see me a TON while going through some friendship shit this year. hell, for my friend's powerpoint party i made a presentation about their discography from a developmental psych perspective!
their video content has been a constant throughout my year too, i watched a lot of to do and interviews during my down time and i remember being blown away by the office attack version of loser lover when i first watched it just bc of how fun it looked.
i was also very very lucky to be able to see them live which was absolutely amazing!! to this day i think about kai acknowledging the special chant we made for his birthday, and soobin making big hearts with his arms towards my section, and taehyun absolutely killing it during his opening sequence solo despite being sick, and beomgyu dancing around imitating the penguins on screen for kai's birthday, and yeonjun going "are those blue flowers?" with the tenderest smile on his face when he acknoledged our blue spring rogue project. i called the concert "romantic" afterwards like it was a mutual outpouring of love and appreciation from both artists and fans <3
also i lost my shit over yeonjun this year oh my god i've never had a celebrity crush this bad lskdfksldj like i always say he puts the gray in gray-aro!!
anyway yeah it's been a good first year of being a moa thank you txt y'all really made my 2023 great

J POV
Namjoon has been gone for four weeks
He calls and facetimes me everyday but I'd rather have him here
Instead my mom flew here from New York, to stay with me while he's away
She had a few things to say about him not being here but I just told her to stop
I really can't hear this now
The baby's due date is in a few days and I'm absolutely terrified
Hopefully she's on time and it's not as bad as I think it's gonna be
---------------------------
Kiara is due on September 15
On September 14th my water breaks
While I'm food shopping with my mom
"Uh mom?", I call her
She's down the aisle and turns to me
She sees my pants are wet
She must see the fear on my face
"It's time!", she shrieks in the middle of the supermarket, "Vamonos!"
She grabs me and I say, "Uh shouldn't we tell someone to clean that?"
"No! They'll clean it! Vamonos!", she insists, ushering me out
She drives me to the hospital using the GPS while I call the doctor
When we get there my mom starts speaking rapid spanglish to the nurse
Of course the nurse speaks to her in Korean
My mom turns to me, "What did she say?"
I roll my eyes then speak to the woman in Korean, "I'm having a baby. My water just broke."
"Ah ok. This way.", she says leading me to a room and tells me the doctor will be in soon
--------------------------
Fifteen hours later, the baby is still not out
And I'm in a lot of pain
"Ahhhh", I scream as more contractions come
Even with the epidural it hurts like hell
"It's ok. It's ok, soon it'll be over.", My mom says try to comfort me
"Yeah sure.", I say through gritted teeth, "Fuck!"
The doctor comes in for the millionth time and checks me
"Ok you're ready. We're going to take you to the delivery room"
I say bye to my mom outside the delivery room
They won't let anyone in with me except the father
Who is supposed to be here but isn't
He said he would try to come
I called and texted him but he didn't answer either
I called the studio to ask the manager if he can get a hold of him
He said he couldn't
I texted Yoongi to ask him to try to get in touch with Namjoon, that they baby is coming
But he couldn't either
So here I am
About to go into the delivery room
Alone
Again
---------------------------
"Push!", the doctor repeats
I scream and push as hard as I can
I've been in this damn room for two hours, in pain and pushing to get her out
I'm crying and upset
Upset she won't come out
Upset that I'm alone
Upset because I want Namjoon
But even more upset because I want Hobi
I want him here with me
Hobi would make sure he was here
He would never leave me alone
God my life is fucked
"C'mon Joanne push"
"I can't", I cry, tears running down my face. "I'm so tired."
"You have to. For your daughter", the doctor encourages
Tears are blinding me and I'm exhausted but I summon the strength to push
I let out a long scream and push
I'm breathing hard and the pain is so intense
"Her head is coming. Push!", the doctor shouts
I grunt and push again
"One more! One more and shes out!"
I take a deep breath, push as hard as I can and yell
I feel the pain stop and I collapse on the bed
I hear the wail of a baby a few seconds later
I feel something on my chest and I look down and see my girl
My beautiful baby girl
With her head full of black hair
I love her at first sight
"Hi Kiara" I whisper to her, "I love you my baby girl."
I hold her little hand and stroke her hair.
"Joanne, we have to take the baby for her check up. We're setting up your room in the delivery unit and we'll bring her there in a little bit"
I nod
I don't want to let her go, but I do
I watch them take her away
Namjoon never came
And I just cry
---------------------------
Kiara was born on September 15, at 5:30 am
Later on that day the nurse brings Kiara to my room and my mom gets to see her first grandchild
She's in love too
The nurses spends the day coming in and out of the room showing me how to care for Kiara
She also helps me breast feed Kiara and man that hurts
I also get a few visitors
A few friends from work and Yoongi
"She looks just like you", he says smiling
"Yeah but she has some Namjoon in her too. I hope she gets his dimples", I laugh
Yoongi is hilarious because he'll look at Kiara in her little bed but when I asked him if he wants to hold her, he backs away shaking his head
A few hours later I have my last visitor
Hobi walks in
And my heart soars
He has a stuffed wolf with a balloon.
"Hi Jo. Uh this is for Kiara", he says handing it to me
"Thanks Hobi.", I say trying not to cry
My mom looks at Hobi and at me
She walks out, leaving us alone
"So she's finally here.", He says walking to her crib, looking at her
He smiles his beautiful smile and says, "Hi Kiara. I've been waiting to meet you."
He says to me, "Shes beautiful Joanne. She looks just like you."
"Yeah everyone has been saying that", I grin, "Do....uh do you wanna hold her?"
"Yea if it's ok?"
"Of course", I nod
He gently picks Kiara up and holds her
He walks over and sits across from me on the bed
He's looking at her so lovingly then looks at me smiling
When he looks back down at Kiara, I burst into tears
Hobi looks up alarmed, "Jo are you ok?"
No
But I can't say that
How can I say I wish he was Kiara's father?
How can I say this is how it was supposed to be, him here with me, holding his baby?
How can I say that I miss him so much, that I'm still so in love with him, that I want to be with him?
I can't
Kiara isn't his
This isn't the way it was supposed to be
I can't tell him I love him, he's moved on and doesn't love me anymore
That this is just reminding me of something I can never have
But instead I say, "Yea I'm ok, just happy and honestly it's probably just hormones."
He laughs and I didn't realize how much I miss the sound
"Yea you must be exhausted", he says
"I think I'm past exhausted that I'm not even tired right now"
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be"
There's a short silence between us
I break it
"So uh, how's Hae doing? You guys got any big plans?", I ask as my heart breaks
"Oh uh no. Actually I broke up with her months ago. You didn't know?"
He broke up with her?
Why?
It doesn't matter anyway
I have a baby now and have to focus on her
"I'm sorry. You know I don't follow all that social media or the news", I answer
"Yeah right. I forgot. But yeah it just wasn't working out. I've been single since then and I'm fine with that."
"Oh um congratulations?"
He laughs, "Thanks I guess. How's Namjoon? Did he make it?"
I look down, upset again, "Uh no. He didn't come. I texted and called him and he never answered. Even after the delivery I checked my phone and nothing. He doesn't even know she was born. I texted him and called again to tell him but he didn't answer. I sent him a picture of her but he didn't respond so I don't know if he saw it."
"Seriously? He didn't even call you? How can he not be asking about his baby?", Hobi says angrily
"It's ok. I mean he did say he may not be able to make it. It's fine.", I force myself to say
I can't make Namjoon care about his baby or me
I've given up trying
"It's not fine Joanne.", Hobi says upset, "He should be here for you and for her. He should have told his manager to cancel the show or the tour. He shouldn't have gone."
"He's not like you Hobi. No one is. No one can compare to you.", I let slip out before I realized what I said
'Shit, shit, shit' I think
"Um I mean...", I trail off
"It's ok Jo. Uh. I think I should get going."
"Oh uh yea sure.", I say disappointed
He places Kiara back in her bed, comes over and hugs me tight
I miss being in his arms
I miss feeling safe in his arms
"She's beautiful Jo.", he says then he lets me go, "Just like her mom"
He smiles and I smile back
After he leaves, I take Kiara in my arms and hold my baby, tears falling down my face
Her name fits her because she's the only good thing, the only light in my life
--------------------------
A few days after her birth, Kiara and I were released and my mom drove us home
She's been with us since, helping me a lot
Letting me sleep so I can take care of Kiara at night
Namjoon still has a week and a half before he comes home
He face timed me a few days after Kiara was born
I'm waa way to exhausted to be upset
"Jo, I'm so sorry but I lost my phone. I left it in one of the hotels and one of the staff had to go back and get it. It took a few days for them to fly back there and actually find it, then get it back to me."
"No one else had a phone you could use?", I ask
"I'm sorry. I've been exhausted and just crashing all the time especially after the concerts."
"Ok whatever", I sigh
At least he had a good reason
I guess
"Did you get the picture?", I ask
"Yea she's beautiful Jo. She looks just like you."
"She has some of you too", I tell him
"How are you? How is she?", he asks
"I'm ok just really tired. Kady is good during the day but a nightmare at night. She cries and just wants to be held and walked." I tell him, "You wanna see her?"
"Yeah! I do" he says excitedly
"Ok hold on"
I get Kiara from my mom and go sit on the couch.
Then I pick up the phone and hold it to Kiara
"Say hi to daddy Kiara"
"Hi baby! I love you", Namjoon says choking up
I smile as I watch Namjoon look at his daughter
"Daddy will be home soon baby girl", he tells her
"Jo, I'll be home soon to help you and be with Kiara", he says
I nod, "I can't wait Joonie. I miss you."
I actually do
I miss Namjoon a lot
Maybe there is something there
"I miss you too baby. I gotta go but I'll call you tomorrow", he says
"Ok."
"Bye Kiara. Bye Jo"
Maybe this can work with him

I don't remember who did this during the last go-round of tags. so just ignore me if you've done this recently. @mel-writes-with-her-dragons @uraniumwriting @ettawritesnstudies @viskafrer @zoya-writes @oh-no-another-idea @writing-is-a-martial-art OR ANYBODY, of course, as always

The real question is.. Does dying does not affect the hair and scalp like Im so skeptical but I dont wanna regret dying my hair later either
It depends, if you use bleach to lift your natural color as long as you either go to a professional or follow the instructions carefully then your scalp will be just fine and it wouldn't impair it. Your hair well there will always be damage cause your opening the cuticle and removing color then depositing color. But as long as you use hair masks and ensure you take care of your hair. Your fine.
I personally don't love bleach. I prefer a hi lift dye it's a bit more gentle but slow. You might have to go back in to get the right lift if you're going blonde. It takes me two months to get the perfect base color so I can give my hair a month long break. But the important part is just taking care of your hair and being patient. As long as you do that you're fine. I know these kpop boys are not taking care of their hair. They're using body wash as shampoo on bleached hair. Not hyunjin though he buys expensive hair products the other members use. Everyone else I know they arent using a conditioner let alone a deep conditioner, leave in treatment and serum. that's why the girl's hair looks beautiful they're taking care of their hair. The boys aren't. I blame the stylists for bleaching color out of compromised hair but everything else is on the boys.
I've been dying my hair since I was 15\16 so I've made a lot of mistakes but it's still going strong with how much I abuse it. I do have a lot of breakage right now but that's because I flat iron my hair every two days. Not from dying it. The only thing I regret when it comes to dying it is dying it a dark color that takes forever to fade. I did that last month I hated hot pink hair and went through hell to get it out never again.
But when it comes to bright colors they're not damaging at all most are conditioners with color have all the fun with that. Blue, Green, purple, pink do not harm the hair at all. The damaging part is how you get it out. Letting it fade with hot water and shampoo perfect. Don't bleach it out it's my biggest pet peeve. It's so much unnecessary damage. Use dyes that fade the moment you drink water. You will have to redye it often but that's better than crying because the green won't come out. Trust me.
My favorite dyes are Lime Crime, Manic Panic, Iroiro, and Ion pretty colors and fades amazingly. Iroiros's pink needs to be diluted though. I like artic fox it fades well but their undertones are all over the place. Do not use Splat or Punky Colors. I used Splat in high school it doesn't come out it's basically fabric dye. Punky Colors, was what I used for the pink and I struggled to get it out The same happened with the orange, and the blue and the green I never learn don't use punky colors. I want to try Lunar tides and Good Dye Young the dye by Hayley Williams from Paramore. But I need to do more research.
I hope any of this was of help. Dying your hair is fun and you just have to read the instructions, do what works for it, take care of it and don't over use heat like me. And do tons of research.

Can I have a hxh or bsd matchup please 🖤 (do whichever you feel like writing 😊)
She/her, pan
Personality: I am very empathetic, always trying to keep the people around me happy (even if I'm not in the end) I hate disappointing people so I can over work myself sometimes. Mostly I am kind and polite, but a I get very sassy moments (I can also be very sarcastic). Im also kind of reserved when I first meet someone and it can take me awhile to show my fun, goofy, happy side to them
Aquarius, infj
I like reading books, writing, listening to music (mostly kpop). I also like to go exploring like in the forest or even abandoned places I also love cooking and baking (more so baking tbh)
sometimes I stop in the middle of talking because I think I talk to much (I've been told many times that I do so I just try not to really talk in a way)i play with my hands a lot, I have a really high pitched (idk sorta cute?) sneeze, I can be very clumsy (I literally tripped on air once😂) when I do something scary my hands shaky after I've done the scary thing (if that makes any sense)
Thank you 🖤 I hope you have a good day/night
Hello! Thank you so much and life has been really busy lately so I’m really sorry about the wait!
P.S I did both :)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your matchups are… (insert drumroll )
Kurapika Kurta
Kurpakia is like the brain and your the heart because of how he struggles to feel sympathy towards people at times. kurapika really needs someone that tries to brighten his dim world. Overworking is the best one habit of his that Kurapika is disappointed in so he’ll always try to console you when you begin to over do it. Kurapika dislikes people without manners and people that are too loud and disruptive so your a great fit! Kurapika finds your sassy moments absolutely hilarious Kurapika is reserved until you both get comfortable with each other. Your goofy side lights up Kurapikas day!
Grow because big and reading and honestly after listening to your type of music he’ll get really into what you like. Kurpapika is big into going to mysterious places the thrill is so exiting to him. Kurapika would love to try anything you make!
If you stop mid-conversation it would be so awkward that Kurapika would literally force you to talk again in some way. Kurapika thinks you hand fidgeting and high pitched sneezes are the cutest thing in the Milky Way.
Ryūnosuke Akutagawa
You empathetic attitude actually starts to make him feel bad for hurting other people while in the mafia. Your hardworking attitude makes Akutagawa even more detrimental to get Dazai’s approval Akutagawa needs someone with proper manners but your attitude really changes the way he looks at people. Akutagawa only likes people that control themselves at a first impression after that he doesn’t mind if you lighten up. You goofy side makes Akutagawa spare a stupid looking grin when he’s around you.
Akutagawa is a really big into reading and he’s not too deep into music but he does find some songs entertaining. Akutagawa will only go with you to abandoned places to make sure you don’t get hurt or lost.’ If you stop mid-conversation you would scare the living hell out of Akutagawa. In the beginning Akutagawa thought that your hand fidgeting and high pitched sneezes were embarrassing but he quickly grew to find them even slightly funny.

Hey [Non-native English here]. I just wanna say it's always so lovely to read you. I hope you never change. I have this irrational fear that you'll gradually fall so deep in this shipping business and eventually start sounding like the typical delusional jikook blogger. Like I just think "they said they are still relatively new to bts & jikook so what if they eventually catch the bug as time goes by?" .. I've seen some of my favourite bloggers go from being grounded and logical, to now... (1/2)
reaching from all angles, talking about purple finger bunnies. I don't know if it's because there's been a "lull" in jikook moments this year or that a lot of Jikookers have been saying their bond feels different now, but sh*t is crazy... Your voice really keeps me afloat as someone who is too invested in the idea of Jimin and Jungkook as a couple to an unhealthy degree and easily gets sucked into the toxic shipping side of the fandom. Please never change. Stay as you are ♡ (2/2)
You are so sweet, anon.
That seems to be a common sentiment, I don't know. You're not the first anon to say so, anyway. This is speculation, but I think what causes it is a combination of follower growth and the types of shippers people often expose themselves to. If you already have firm beliefs about your ship, and you're circle-jerking with others who think exactly like you do, your perceptions will start to mimic those you spend the most time talking to and the kind of content you're exposed to frequently. In addition, if a particular type of opinion gains you the most positive feedback, most people will want to lean into that.
I do also think that the lack of content has made a lot of shippers feral. 😅 This isn't the first time I've made a similar prediction, but the writing was on the walls. It's only going to get worse from here the less there is to visually go on. At some point, most people do grow out of it and move on to a new ship in a new fandom, and the cycle repeats. Every lifecycle of a Kpop fandom share similarities in their growth and decline (not necessarily in popularity), and the BTS fandom isn't exempt from that (but, knowing ARMY, they might flip the script, but it's still too soon to tell).
As for me, it's honestly more likely that I'll lose interest in the fandom and this blog before I get to that point–if I ever get to that point. It probably doesn't seem like it to those I interact with, but I don't spend much time in fandom or online to begin with until something interesting happens, and most of the other shippers I've befriended ship other Bangtan members. I think my general detachment from fandom helps keep my head on my shoulders.
I like to think I have my bases covered, but in the event I pull a Daenerys Targaryen before my time is up in fandom, feel free to give me a nudge. 😂
P.S. What the hell is purple finger bunnies?

«-Previous | Next-»
Kim Yangmi woke to the sound of her cell phone ringing incessantly, the noise extremely loud to her hungover brain. Groggily she reached for the offending object and answered without checking the caller ID.
"Hello?"
"Yangmi, where the hell have you been?" The voice of her best friend Kyunghee spilled into her ears. "I've been trying to call you for at least an hour!"
Yangmi sighed. "I was sleeping off my hangover. We went hard last night, shouldn't you be just as shattered?"
Kyunghee snorted. "I am, I just hide it better than you. But that's not why I called. Have you seen the news today?"
Frowning, Yangmi put the call on speaker and opened the news app on her phone. "Not since before we went out last night. Why?"
"You might want to take a look. Seems we weren't as sneaky as we thought we were."
As Kyunghee's words filtered through her phone, the news app finished loading and Yangmi saw at once what her friend was talking about.
TWIN SISTER OF FAMOUS RAPPER CAUGHT DRUNK & HIGH AT STRIP CLUB
Yangmi gulped, already imagining the fit her brother would throw when he came home.
"Shit, Kyunghee, this is really bad." She exclaimed, scanning the page with an ever-growing dread. The comments on the article were undoubtedly scathing, and Yangmi knew better than to read them.
"What're you gonna do?" Kyunghee questioned, concern lacing her voice.
"I have to post an apology before people start pulling Joong into this. Ah, damnit, what was I thinking?!"
"You should be allowed to have fun without worrying about the consequences." Kyunghee's argument was weak, and she knew it.
"Not when your brother's famous and hates your guts, sadly. Listen, I'll call you back later and let you know how he took it, okay?"
Kyunghee sighed resignedly. "Good luck Yangmi. Try not to let him strangle you, alright?"
Yangmi chuckled dryly. "I'll do my best."
After hanging up, Yangmi quickly sat down at her laptop and began to craft an apology for her actions. When she finished, she read over it to ensure it sounded as sincere as possible. Not because she felt remorse, but because her brother would be furious if she didn't. Apparently his reputation mattered more than any of Yangmi's thoughts or feelings.
Almost as soon as the apology went up it spread, people sharing it around and discussing it. As she watched the activity, she noticed that for the most part the responses were positive. Feeling relieved, she closed out the webpage, opening up YouTube to pass the time until her brother returned.
The door to the flat flew open, jerking Yangmi to attention as it slammed loudly against the wall. She took a deep breath, preparing herself for the argument that would undoubtedly come from this.
"Kim Yangmi, get the hell in here!"
"Coming!" One last deep breath, and she stood to face the storm.
Kim Hongjoong stood by the dinner table, glowering at his sister. "Would you like to explain to me what the fuck you were doing last night?"
Yangmi gave a short, humorless laugh. "Why ask me? I know you read the news."
Hongjoong let out a frustrated growl. "God, how could you be so fucking careless? I tell you not to stay out late, I tell you not to go out partying, and you just have to throw it all in my face, don't you? I saw that apology you posted and I don't believe you meant a word of it!"
Yangmi rolled her eyes. Of course he didn't believe it, he hardly ever believed a word she said.
"Well, I'm not surprised you didn't find it sincere. I'm not sorry for jeopardizing your career. If I was gonna be sorry for anything, I'd be sorry for sullying the family name." Yangmi huffed and shook her head. "You know, I really wish our parents were still alive. Because if they were, you'd have never become famous and I wouldn't have to put up with your shit!"
Hongjoong laughed mirthlessly. "You think you put up with shit? You can't even begin to imagine the things I have to deal with on a daily basis, and you think I'm giving you hell? Fuck that, I can't even trust you anymore Yangmi! You know what I wish? I wish that I'd been born an only child and not a twin. Then I wouldn't have to put up with your bullshit antics!"
Yangmi froze, shattered by the words that spilled from her brother's lips. Tears gathered in her eyes and she turned, intending to flee before they fell, but Hongjoong had other plans.
"Just a minute, I'm not through with you."
Yangmi stopped, gathering herself before turning back around. "What?"
"In light of your recent actions, I have no choice but to confine you to the flat for the foreseeable future. I will be locking all the windows and doors whenever I leave, and if you wish to go out I will be accompanying you to ensure you don't get up to any tomfoolery. In time, when I feel you can be trusted, you will be free to come and go as you please."
Yangmi stared at him, her mouth open in shock. "Oh, so you're my parent now as well? Last time I checked, 25 is a little too old to be grounded."
Hongjoong stared her down, face expressionless. "Act like a child and you'll get treated like a child."
Fury welled up inside her, making her clench her fists and scream "I hate you! You're a sorry excuse for a brother and I wouldn't wish this life on my worst enemy!!"
Turning around she ran to her room, slamming the door shut and sinking to the floor as hot tears spilled down her face.
The first week of Yangmi's confinement was miserable. Hongjoong had just released a new song, so he was gone all day and most of the night as well. Yangmi grew bored quickly, finding most of her usual pastimes failing to keep her entertained for long.
But with the second week came something that would soon occupy her thoughts in every waking moment.
Yangmi woke on Monday with the feeling that something was different, and not in a good way. The feeling was confirmed when she found a lavender-coloured envelope wedged in a thin crack of one of her bedroom windows.
Curious what was in the envelope, Yangmi pulled it through the crack and examined it. There was no writing on it, just skilled drawings of cherry blossom clusters in each corner. There was nothing left to do but open it, so that's what she did.
The paper was the same pretty lavender as the envelope, and written on it was a short note in neatly printed characters.
"You don't know me yet, but I know you quite well. You are beyond beautiful, a goddess in human form. I hope one day to see your pretty face beneath me, twisting with pleasure as I fuck you into the bed. I want to hear you scream my name, your exquisite body laced with sweat and cum. I long for the day that these things will come to pass. See you soon, my sweet."
Yangmi felt nausea rise in her stomach as she took in the contents of the letter. Who could have sent her this? Was this Hongjoong's idea of a sick joke? Yangmi took a picture of the letter, intending to ask Kyunghee for advice. Then she took out a box of matches from a drawer in her nightstand and burned the letter in her bathroom, rinsing the ashes down the drain afterwards.
With that done, she sent the image to Kyunghee and explained where she found the letter.
No letter came the next day, nor the day after. Yangmi woke on the third day feeling somewhat anxious and unnerved. She moved through the day slowly, expecting at any moment to turn a corner and find another letter perched somewhere.
Around noon, Yangmi's phone rang. The call was from an unknown number, which didn't surprise her in the least. Assuming it was another crazy fan trying to get to her brother, she answered it.
"Hello?"
Silence.
"H-Hello?"
Still nothing.
"If this is some kind of prank, it's not funny."
A faint sound reached her ears and she froze, listening hard. Chills tracked down her spine when she realized it was the sound of breathing, a man's breathing to be exact.
"Wh-who the fuck are you?" She demanded, voice shaking despite her attempt to sound calm.
The only reply she recieved was the click of the call ending and the beeping of the dial tone as she stared numbly at her phone, feelings of fear and worry multiplying within her.
No further incidents marked the day, but Yangmi remained on edge throughout and had uneasy dreams that night.
Next morning she woke to a sight that filled her with dread: another envelope shoved through the crack in her window, this one a soft pink colour. No part of her wanted to open it, but she felt she should know its contents before showing it to her brother.
So, despite her fear, she opened it.
"Hello my love. I saw that you burned my letter. Perhaps I came on too strong, but I simply wished to express my feelings for you. I've been watching you a lot these days, chiefly when you shower or get changed. One day I'd love to make some little cuts on you somewhere so I can taste your delicious blood. I wonder: would it taste like candy, or would it be far sweeter, like ambrosia? Would you let me keep some of it as a memento? The day of our meeting grows ever closer, I look forward to it."
Yangmi felt her mouth drop open. Bile rose in her throat and she gagged, disgusted by what she had just read. Opening her drawer, she closed her hand around the box of matches, and then remembered she was going to show Hongjoong first. With a sigh she threw the pink paper onto her nightstand and pulled out her phone, settling in to await her brother's return.
A few hours later he returned. Yangmi pocketed her phone, grabbing the envelope and letter off her nightstand before exiting her room.
"Joong, can we talk for a minute?"
He eyed her suspiciously. "About what?"
"I found this shoved through a crack in my window this morning." She said, handing him the envelope. "I'm afraid someone might be stalking me."
Hongjoong takes the envelope, pulling out the letter and reading it in silence. When he finished, he gazed at Yangmi with obvious disgust in his eyes and she knew at once her efforts had been in vain.
"You just can't resist, can you? Acting like a fucking child seems to thrill you, but I'm telling you this childish behavior needs to stop right this instant. You think I'm fooled by your frightened act or your fake little letters? Think again!"
Yangmi gaped at him, hurt and offended that he would think such horrid things of her. She opened her mouth to protest, but Hongjoong continued speaking.
"If you ever try to take this trumped up story to the authorities, I'll make sure you're locked in an asylum for the rest of your pathetic life. This is sick, Yangmi, and it's not funny at all."
Enraged, Yangmi snatched up the letter and retreated to her room, locking the door behind her. She took a picture of the letter for Kyunghee, then burned the letter as she had the first one. After that, she pulled out her phone and filled her friend in.
Turning off her phone, Yangmi slipped into her pajamas and climbed into bed. Turning off the light she fell into a troubled dream.
In her dream it came out that the sender of the disturbing was none other than Hongjoong himself, a plot to get her certified as insane and shipped off to an asylum. She was exposed to all manner of awful tortures in that asylum, on for it to end one day when Hongjoong came to visit her little padded room and murdered her in cold blood.The last thing she saw was him placing the knife in her hand to make it look like she had ended her own life.
Yangmi woke the next morning in a cold sweat, terror clinging to her bones.

I love our long messages! Don't stop LOL :')
Yoongi is also my favorite rapper in BTS!!! AGHAKDFJDKF 🤣😂 I definitely feel you with Hobi - he carved out his own little niche in the rap world! My mom actually really likes him because of this!
I'm the same way when it comes to theories and stuff LOL - when I was deep into the fandom in 2018 and everyone was trying to piece together HYYH + LYS storyline, I was so lost - I just enjoyed the cinematic MV's 🤣😂
Omg yay!!! 'Trigger the Fever' is one my favorite songs ever from them! It just makes me really happy 🤗 You're correct! It was one of the songs on the latter part of the setlist before the (multiple?) encore!
Omg omg 'Golden Hour' LOL - I have so many thoughts 🤣 Given the teasers with the bigheaded characters and Mark's furry mask, I literally went in thinking this would be awkward and quirky as hell LOL. When the song started, I was genuinely impressed and I was like "Mark getting out of his loser era . . .???" UNTIL THE DAMN "I CAN'T MAKE EGGS" line LMAO - I had to pause for a minute because I was laughing so hard. My friend thought it was corny, but I actually liked the talking interlude part - Man's had a point :3
I feel you about the extra umph with Kpop! My parents keep wondering when I'm going to phase out of it, but I don't think I ever will frankly. So much effort is put into this beyond music. No judgement - you jam out to 'Sticker' if you like it 😂 We need fans like you too <3 How was The Link tour? Ten is my NCT ult too (as much as I simp about Renjun 💀😂). I also have a soft spot for Yangyang and like . . . lol a 'thing' for Xiaojun 😅
Bestie! You're booked and busy this year, huh?! Tbh, I don't know a lot about ATEEZ 😅 I tried to get into them a while ago, but idk, nothing was really clicking. They have a few songs that I do like though! If you have more suggestions, I'd be open to them :) I'm so so happy you got to see them twice!!! Crossing my fingers for the best that you get to see them again 💙
MOTS was supposed to be my first ever concert too 😭💔 My mom got tickets for us LMAO and she actually managed to snatch AMAZING seats too (it was like level 100, second row or something really close). Honestly, I don't think I will see them in this lifetime - I have bad luck with BTS concerts even before they were super mega popular :') I tried for AGUST D (even bought the dang membership again LOL) and didn't get into the ARMY presale. My friend did manage to get VIP, but I'm terrified of the GA for her 😬😅
You'll have to keep me updated about all your concert experiences to come!!! Amidst new jobs, moving, etc., I can only afford one more concert this year (since I have to travel for most of them and that's an additional cost 😞) and I'm banking all my money on SVT 😭 They are my ults and I wanna see OT13 before the m-word starts 😥
Otherwise if timing doesn't work out well with my new job and I don't get to see them, I think I'm going to try for LSFM or Red Velvet. Do you like any gg's btw? I totally forgot that Baekhyun is having a world tour too????? Besides B.I's Waterfall album, BAMBI was definitely my most played album of 2020 🤣😂 CHEF'S KISSES - he never fails to surprise us just when I think something is his best work yet.
SZA must've been something else!! I've only heard good things about her shows. We'll see about Ed Sheeran and if time/money allows! I'll keep you updated. I don't doubt Taylor Swift will have another show!! Rooting for you~
@twogyuu I’m still highkey embarrassed/ashamed of the length of what follows but you said you didn’t mind the long messages so…
Yeah in terms of kpop being a phase - I told myself that for awhile and I tried so hard not to fall into it more after BTS but there are just so many amazing groups and songs out there. And when c*vid hit I had way too much time on my hands, so yeah...me and kpop are basically trauma-bonded now lol 😂 But for real it’s only increased my love of music and creativity in general so I’m happy to have come across it!
Friend, I’m so sorry you experienced the trauma of the MOTS tour as well. And oof don’t break my delusional heart…I still stupidly have hope that somehow BTS will give us one more OT7 tour after the military 🥺. Even if they can’t do the choreo anymore and I’ve become an actual adult by the time it happens (🤣) I will still wanna see/hear them with my actual eyeballs and ears lol. I have to believe I’ll have another chance to see them all together. And omg, sending well wishes for your friend…I’m a short girlie and one thing about concerts for me - I absolutely cannot do GA, ever. I won’t be able to see and I gotta deal with people all over me...That mosh pit scene in pretty lies was literally just me randomly writing out one of my greatest fears lol…nope nope nope!!!
The Link tour was fun, getting to see them and all, but I was honestly sad that they didn't perform much of any songs from their newest album - I think it was literally only 2 Baddies (the title track) and Faster 🙁. This newest album of theirs is one of my absolute faves they've released (almost no skips) and I really wanted to hear more of it live, especially Gold Dust and 1,2,7 (Time Stops). But I loved seeing Mark and Taeyong riff off each other during rap songs, Doyoung's voice was absolutely beautiful during his solo songs, MOON TAEIL also slaying vocals, Johnny shirtless lol (but for real - the entire performance of Focus from that set to the choreo was one of the most memorable parts, everyone killed it vocally and performance wise <3), Yuta's amazing Butterfly solo performance, Jaehyun being effortlessly flirty, Jungwoo looking gorgeous irl. And they did a lot of their hits so I really can't complain (faves live were Kick It, Cherry Bomb, Lemonade, Touch, Highway to Heaven, FAVORITE (my fave hehe), and of course Sticker lol 💀). It was a total party! Also Taeyong talking to the audience was too f-ing cute, like I can't - he's actually so soft irl lol 😂
And are we sharing the same braincells??? Because I was originally gonna say this in the last post but didn't wanna sound like I was being selective but like…besides being in awe of Ten, I'm specifically trash for Yang Yang and Xiaojun of WayV 😳😂 For Yang Yang - time of death was when he and Ten released Low Low. The song is such a bop and when I saw his smile at timestamp 0:12 in the mv I was like…yeah I want him. And then his entire part in the first verse of that song like...ugh I totally fell for those lyrics (ik embarrassing) lol. Like the deal was basically sealed after that. Idk what it is about him but he just has this inexplicable charm…like whatever “it” is, he has it. Idk I don't make the rules. And Xiaojun? He is p r e t t y, ok? I am basic. Like do you see how thick his eyebrows are??? But like also his voice and he’s so soft and idk ok imma stop ALKJDLFKF. But for real I gotta see them all live because I just know their concert would be a total party. Sooo many b.o.p.s.
Also don’t feel bad if Ateez isn’t your thing!!! Funny story but the first song I ever heard from them was Wave and I was like oh this is cute, lemme check them out, and then I randomly chose HALA HALA out of all of their mvs to watch as an introduction and I was like - tf??? 🤣 And then I literally didn’t look into them again for like 6 months to a year bc I just did not get why that song was so popular and like now it’s one of my favorites 🤣 They do tend to lean darker for their cb tracks and if that isn’t ur cup of tea, that’s totally cool! I just can’t stop myself from bringing them up in any kpop convo bc I l*ve them lol. But if you really want recs from their discography, idk what kind of sound you gravitate towards so i’ll give you a mix (it’s also bc i love talking abt them and their music so indulge my Atiny brainrot for one last time hehe)
*IF I STAR IT LIKE THIS THESE ARE MY PERSONAL FAVES OF EACH VIBE BUT I LIST MORE AS WELL BC PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES LOL*
If you like softer/more chill/comfort I’d check out - *WITH U*, My Way, *Wave*, *Illusion*, *Sunrise*, *Aurora*, Dancing Like Butterfly Wings, *Promise*, If Without You, *THANK U*, *FEVER*, *Turbulence*, Twilight, *One Day At a Time*, Light, Stay, *Better*, *Time of Love*, Celebrate, *The Letter*, and All About You.
If you like emotional ballads I’d recommend - *Be With You*, *Star 1117*, *Turbulence*, *Not Too Late*, and *MIST*.
If you wanna hear fan-faves/powerful/iconic performance/choreo/hype type stuff (what made me stan them basically) I’d recommend - *Say My Name*, Answer, *Deja Vu*, ROCKY, *The Real*, *Pirate King*, *Treasure* *HALAZIA*, *HALA HALA*, *WONDERLAND*, *WIN*, *Guerrilla*, *INCEPTION*, and *Fireworks* <I’d def recommend watching the mvs for these recs.
Spicy recs if ur into that hehe (watch mv/vid performances) - *Inception*, *Cyberpunk*, *The Ring*, *Fireworks* (ESP. the beginning of the mv), *Deja Vu*, Sector 1 (once again, specifically the beginning lol).
And then if this is getting a little tldr (ik it is i’m so sorry) and I could only choose 5 6 7 songs that define Ateez/songs to inject into my veins I would choose Pirate King, Say My Name, Star 1117, Aurora, HALA HALA, Wave, and The Real.
Did I literally spend a disgustingly long amount of time happily categorizing the bulk of their discography? Yes, yes I did. And I very much enjoyed it 🤪
Also, you don’t have to do this immediately (or ever) if it’s a hassle, but I am still quite new to seventeen’s discography (yay!!!) so if you ever wanna share your song recs (some faves from what I've sporadically encountered so far are Darl+ing, Left & Right, Fear, Do Re Mi, Cheers, *DON'T WANNA CRY omg*, Ready to love, Rock with you, _WORLD, Home, Chilli, Anyone, and Thinkin' about you) + any other content that made you really really like them I would absolutely love that <3 bonus points if the other content involves mingyu, wonwoo, vernon, and/or seungcheol bc i need bias receipts 😏
But enough about MEN. Heck yeah I listen to girl groups!!! Actually, before I found BTS or even knew what the heck kpop was, I remember listening to Taeyeon (before I knew SNSD lol) and Red Velvet. They were my true gateway into kpop. It was like 2016 or 2017, and I was dabbling in Korean R&B (I could go down a whole rabbit hole of recs in this genre too, but i won’t here - feel free to ask more if ur interested in that genre), and I remember really liking Eric Nam’s Interview album at the time (esp. the song Good For You <3). And so I was pouring through his discography and fell in love with this song called Spring Love that he did with Wendy (love Like Water btw). And then from there I learned she was part of a group and I found Red Velvet!!! I played the heck out of their songs, and I could literally list their entire discography, but some of the first gems I ever heard where I was like oh yeah they’re special were One of these Nights, Would U, and of course the iconic Bad Boy. Those women can sing. The harmonies??? The vocals??? Total queens. When they released their most recent album I was playing Feel My Rhythm nonstop in the car for a few weeks - like the people in my passenger’s seat hated me lol but like...the key change at the end??? How can you only listen to that once??? And then the song In My Dreams…my hopelessly romantic, pining heart approves. And like Seulgi??? She’s so cool bruh lol. Loved her song Who Are You with BamBam, and her solo album was so great!!! The cover image for that album is just so iconic to me for some reason. I absolutely loved the entire concept. I am praying they announce US tour dates for Red Velvet 😭 For Taeyeon, 11:11, I Blame on You, Fine, and I (ft. Verbal Jint) were in regular rotation. Her voice is absolutely stunning and it’s like she’s singing straight into your heart or something. Just gives me the feels - like I begin feeling whatever emotion she’s putting into the song. Ugh. And she continues to spit out bops - What Do I Call You, WEEKEND (literally feels like a Friday when that one comes on <3), Can’t Control Myself (obsessed with this song + concept such a vibe), INVU (the way I memorized that little hand movement of the letters that she does in the chorus 💀). Heck - Hotel del Luna is literally on my list of kdramas to watch purely because of her beautiful song from the soundtrack (I think the translated title is All About You) 😭😭😭
And there are so many other great girl groups in kpop!!! Can’t list them all but dangit if I’m not gonna try - first of all I gotta shout out my girls StayC (stayc girls, it’s goin down.) Probably my fave of the newer gen groups and for me their discography is like no skips, esp. their YOUNG-LUV.COM EP. Then there’s Everglow with their insane choreography (the song First like omggg that ones prob my favorite besides La Di Da) and their hypnotizing pre chorus mottos. Like idk how they do it but they always have like some insanely catchy little saying or something right before they go into the chorus or like the chorus is crazy catchy like what the heck lol. Got into WJSN after Queendom, and their most recent release Last Sequence - like omg…the chorus and post-chorus of that song is like a literal d r u g. I gotta catch up on LSFM releases but the way Fearless had a chokehold on me for awhileeeeee. Aespa - once again just mindbending vocals/harmonies. Love Winter and Ningning esp. And the way I still try to do that crazy flat hand thing from Next Level 🤣 and I also weirdly love how that song is like two songs squished together - like ok SM they actually pulled that off for me somehow 🤣 The way both the bridge and the ending sequence of vocals at the end of Savage are absolutely insaneeee and I love hearing it every time it comes on. NewJeans literally releases bop after bop (🎵attentiooooooon🎵) like I don’t know what kind of magic sauce they’ve got going on over there. Weeekly is such a gem as well and I have been following/rooting for them ever since their debut song After School blew up! Their music is full of wonderful melodies! Can’t wait to see where they go! Fromis_9 is great, Oh My Girl, (g)i-dle (MINNIE esp. AHHHH), Hyolyn (straight b.o.p.s.), Viviz is great. I keep hearing buzz about the group XG and am planning to check them out soon when I have some time! Currently loving Kitsch by IVE and am excited to check out I Am. Also Cupid by Fifty Fifty??? (literally know nothing about this group but this song is just a total bop). So many other ggs/female acts old and new that I haven’t listed here, including some obviously super big well-known ones but like it’s a given I listen to songs of theirs as well so I wanted to give some love to my fave faves and some hidden gems <3 So yeah, the kpop girlies are out here doing it and leaving no crumbs. We stan.
Lastly, adulting is a drag lol. I hate transitionary periods and also had my own recently so I’m wishing you the best and hope that once all the logistical stuff is settled, better/great things await you on the other side! And priorities!!! Definitely save your coins for Seventeen and make sure you see them all together!!! Ed is likely to tour again, and I am rooting for you too!!!

it's almost midnight here and i'm just hoping mj felt happy today
#i'm so tired#i spent last night thinking of how to show support to mj and make moonbin aware of his insensitivities and :(#all i could come up with is leaving loads of love on mj's insta posts#idk if trending anything on twt would work because kpop twitter is such a hell hole and everything always catches fire and turns into war#but at the same time do we have anything except trending supportive hashtags for mj? can we educate bin without ppl attacking him with hate?#things like this always turn into such messes because some ppl refuse to acknowledge there is a problem while others outright deny it#and then instead of being constructive it just ends in fighting and fandoms being split when they could be working together#i love mj and i love bin and i want him to learn because i'm pretty sure he loves mj too and no one wants myungjun hurting so :/#tbh i got thinking too deep and figured bin's comments might come from a twisted sense of help in some form#this is all pure speculation but bin strove for a body like his for a reason and idk if it was positive or negative motivation#but he seems happy with his body now which is great and possibly he wants mj to achieve the same happiness?#just that he doesn't realise maybe mj is happy with a different ideal and that negative motivation/reinforcement is NOT the way in any case#idk i'm tired i forgot half of what i typed#my main worry is for mj atm because ik how shitty it is to be unsure about your body and then have someone's comment tip you to disliking it#because after that it's harder to be happy with it again especially if the comment keep coming#but i also have a slight worry for bin because i rlly hope he himself works out so much because he likes it#and not because he was told by someone that he needed to :(#because ppl who have felt insecure themselves are more likely to pass that insecurity on. often in an attempt to reassure themself#retroactively#okay i'm sorry for the long rant in the tags but i've just been thinking about it#this is important to discuss anyhow i hope arohas can solve or at least alleviate this a little#mj#moonbin#important.txt

The Amazing Adventures of Bea Hughes
poppy min-sinclair (jeon somi faceclaim) x mc (bea hughes)
so i've been obsessed with writing for poppy HAHAHA i will get back to some kpop fics but in the meantime, enjoy this fic based on @somewillwin's fanart of bea as spiderman and poppy as mj, it was a cool concept to me and i really liked it so here we are.
Your heart pounded erratically as you swung from building to building. You had made a point in avoiding lampposts and other hindrances. You absolutely needed to be back on campus, and you needed to be there now.
Zoey's words echoing in your ears as Belvoire's campus in sight, "Poppy's on a hellpath over here. Get your ass home."
You'd mentally cursed yourself for saving her spoiled ass countless times if she was just going to pull this shit on you. Then again, you didn't really see yourself letting her just fall to her misfortunes.
It all really started with an accident.
You were one of the selected few in your classes to tour a prestigious bio-chem lab in the city. You'd wandered away from the group by mistake while you scrolled through the T and found yourself in an open lab by mistake. You took a deep breath and thought might as well get something from this mishap.
Looking around the lab, you noticed how empty it was, unlike the other facilities. There weren't any scientists or assistants like in the rooms you'd been in previously, webs and dust began to accumulate around the room.
As you made a joke to yourself about how this was probably Poppy's natural habitat, you felt a sharp bite on the back of your neck. You jumped and looked around the room, hand over your chest and breathing rapid. Seeing that there was nothing you took a deep breath and walked away, far too spooked to continue messing around.
Except you didn't notice a spider dropping dead from your shirt.
The next few hours were rough for you and you couldn't explain why. Your body was buzzing and you felt acutely aware of your surroundings. You didn't feel like walking around some bright lab anymore so you slipped out before texting Zoey that you weren't feeling too well.
She immediately replied, 'Come to the dorms, I'll make you some soup.' With that you made a beeline for your suite where you found your best friend her holding a hot bowl of soup. You smiled before making your way over to the dining table but you shot up, like a bullet shooting through you.
As Zoey walked towards you, she tripped over one of the dog's many, many toys. You were right there to catch her in spite of being at least a meter away and a web then pulled the bowl of soup into your hand. Both you and Zoey stare at each other with wide eyes.
You put her down and stared at your shaking hands, "Wh-What the hell was that...?" You muttered as Zoey stared at you with an unreadable expression.
It'd been two weeks since you gained your newly acquired powers, complete with web shooting, heightened senses and being able to stick to most surfaces, and took on the role of protector of the city. Zoey pulled together a form-fitting yet fashionable set of spandex for you to wear while you fought crime and she handled your public image. And your homework was happily taken care of by your posse member, Penelope.
One night, you sat perched atop one of the many rooftops of the city's buildings. You pulled the mask off of your face before pulling your phone out of your cleavage. Half past midnight, and a wave of serendipitous calm washed over the city. You took a deep breath, it'd been rare that you'd gotten a moment just to yourself with all the action and drama in your life.
As you stood up and stretched your back out, thinking of heading home for the night.
"Get off of me, you dingy hobo!" A familiar shrill voice rang through the empty streets. You crouched down to make sure you were hearing right, the part of the city you were in wasn't exactly her kind of place. "Is that...?"
"I am a Sinclair! You will take your filthy hands off me!" You took a deep breath, wanting nothing more than to just leave the blonde alone there. But the guilt of letting anything bad happen to anyone in the city would eat you up inside. Slipping on the white mask, you jumped from the building, catching yourself from a lamppost.
You looked around the streets looking for the biggest bitch you'd ever come to know. "So this priss is a tough one, ey?" A scruffy voice taunted from a nearby alleyway. Your eyes narrowing at the choice of words.
No one insults your Poptart like that but you.
You ran down the street and caught a glance at Poppy fighting against an older guy who looked like he'd snap her in half. You shot a web at the man's leg making him yelp out in surprise. He looked towards you to which you gave him a sarcastic friendly wave.
"Oh of course, it's you." He sneered before ripping the web off of his foot. The man revealed the knife he’d just brandished to the rather terrified looking blonde who was flushed against the wall. "I never liked spiders."
He jolted forward, trying to barrel you down. You smirked and jumped up sticking to the wall as the attacker swung the knife towards you. Setting a web off and sticking it onto on of the fire escapes above the both of you, kicking the man down as you swung off of the metal bars. The man groaned softly before passing out. You scoffed and pulled him up, putting him in a dumpster.
You stretched your shoulder out before turning back to the ex-queen B. "I didn't think I'd ever see the only child of the Min-Sinclair family on this side of town." Poppy still stared at you surprised. You grinned to yourself, you'd never seen her this shocked, maybe you could use this to your advantage.
Once she gained her bearings, her irritated expression returned. "I didn't need your help." You let out an airy laugh and nodded, approaching her. Lowering the pitch of your voice so she wouldn't be able to tell who you were. "Yeah, I could tell with the screaming and getting pinned against an alleyway wall."
She rolled her eyes and placed a hand on your chest. "Look, I don't trust the police to protect me, how much more a weirdo in spandex?" Before she could shove you away though, you pulled her closer, close enough that you were flush against one another. "Just admit you needed me tonight, miss Min-Sinclair."
An amused and irritated grin grew over her pink lips. "Never." With that she successfully shoved you away in spite of your super strength. She faded from view as you shook your head amused, when Poppy wasn't in the Belvoire setting with eyes on her, you forgot how much of a softie that bitch could be.
"You two are cute..." A snarky voice from the dumpster called. The mugger from earlier was slowly arising from the stink-ridden box but was immediately pushed back by a blast of web to his face.
As you swung over the road, keeping a close ear to any distress. Then you saw a very familiar blonde in pink walking down the dark streets of New York.
It wasn't the last time you'd run into the prissy heiress though, she'd go through the same beaten path she did the first night you saved her. You'd think that she would be more aware and conscious of how she walked around the city.
It was again around one in the morning when you saw the familiar blonde walking across the street. It bothered you that she put herself in these kinds of situations often, did she just expect you to always be there to save her flat ass?
Like clockwork, a man began walking towards Poppy. You rolled your eyes and hopped down onto the pavement and pulled the approaching man back with a web, elbowing him in the nose when he was right beside you. The heiress looked back at you, her face unfazed as the robber fell to the ground, clutching his face.
"Are you seriously not concerned that one day I won't be around to save your spoiled ass?" You yelled chasing her down. She grunted and continued her way down the streets. Irritation boiled in your blood as you tugged her close with one of your webs, if it wasn't for the mask you wore, her breath would mingle with your lips...like they had before.
Her eyes bore holes into your mask as she snarled out, "Get off of me."
"You're nothing but trouble aren't you? What are you doing walking around at night without a single person knowing that you're missing?" You asked, bits of familiarity dripping from your tone. Poppy's face softened, like she was tired of putting up her perfectly dolled up façade.
She'd been acting odd for weeks even at school. Her insults weren't as sharp and she actually looked tired. It didn't help that Poppy didn't even brag about being saved by the city's own superhero. She was keeping a low profile which contrasted the passion and fire-driven woman you'd come to know.
This was the first time you'd seen the high and mighty Poppy Min-Sinclair's lip quiver with her eyes welling in tears. Your eyes widened under your mask as her arms wrapped around your built figure. 'Is this a trap? Does she have a knife? Is she planning to kill me? Oh my God I can't die like this—'
"It's my dad..." She muttered against your shoulder, her voice shaky. Wait—That's why she was all the way downtown every night? "He's sick and I wanted to visit him to make sure he was okay...He wasn't ever really a part of my life but I couldn't just stay away from him anymore."
You'd never seen Poppy so emotionally delicate. She herself froze at the intimate contact but immediately softened. While Poppy was an absolute monster and your enemy, you couldn't deny that she was still human who cared about her biological dad who actually loved her. Hesitantly, you wrapped your arms around her petite waist.
The night was quiet and the air around both of you was calm opposed to the usual aura between the both of you. You took in her floral scent as she sobbed into your shoulder.
The blonde sniffled a little before pushing you back gently. You smiled under the mask and lifted your hand to her cheek, careful not to break the spell over the moment. "It's going to be alright, troublemaker." She chuckled softly at the newly acquired nickname. "Come on, let me hail you a cab." You offered to which she nodded tiredly.
As the taxi you called over pulled up in front of the curb, you dropped down from the building you were swinging from. "Alright, trouble. Get home safe." You waved before she pulled on your hand. Your head snapped towards her.
"Look, I don't always open up to anyone..." She called, her voice back to the slightly irritating register you were more familiar with. "...but it was nice to talk to someone who wouldn't judge me or really see me any different." Suddenly, her face turned sour and she glared at you. "But if so much as tell a soul what happened here tonight, I will destroy you, web for brains."
Before you could respond, the cab was moving and you were watching the yellow car speed down the streets.
After that night it was hard keep up the same animosity. You felt bad for the poor girl but Poppy was just as cut throat as you had always known her to be. Taking your sudden calm with her to mean you submitted to her reign. While your social standing at Belvoire was going to hell, you and Poppy spent more time together at night.
The nightly attack on the precious heiress turned into late night rants about the dumb things her Zetas would do or ice cream runs where neither of you had to pay because well you'd saved the owner from swindlers a handful of times and he owed you quite a bit.
You both ran through the city laughing and talking about things you two would never talk about if you didn't have the mask over your head. You were both in the park since she never let you take her up atop the buildings since she was deathly afraid of heights.
She was leaned up against you as you both sat in the grass looking up at the stars, well whatever stars you could really see behind the smog of the city. Suddenly as you spoke she said, "I think I might like you more than anyone in my real life..."
You pulled away in shock before responding, "Oh that's just sad! You've known me a total of three weeks." Poppy scoffed and shoved you away. Making you laugh and pull her back into your body. Suddenly you two had spent the night together, just with her on top of your body, talking the night away.
It was obnoxiously easy for you two this way, like you weren't at each other's throats on the daily in the light of day. You stared down at her as she'd lulled into a deep sleep. You smiled and picked her up with ease, swinging across the city to Belvoire, placing her in bed in the Zeta House.
As she nuzzled into her expensive sheets, you pulled your head out of the mask. Hesitantly, you brushed her hair out of her face before placing a feather-light kiss over her forehead. You smiled as she cuddled closer into the pillows. You pulled the mask back onto your head before muttering, "I'll see you tomorrow, Poptart."
"Where're you off to, trouble?" You asked swinging down to her in the afternoon while she walked around with her friends. Chloe stared at you stary-eyed while Veronica took a double take at you but didn't really do much other than take a photo of you in front of her likely to post about it later on in the day. Poppy on the other hand, tried to hide how ecstatic she was to see you.
It was the first time you'd ever interacted with her in broad daylight and in the highclass area of New York. "You two go on ahead, I'll meet up with you later." Poppy said quickly before walking up to you.
"So you do exist in the light of day, webs for brains." You chuckled and looked around cautiously. You leaned close to her, making sure that only she would be able to hear you. "I wanna show you something." She grinned and nodded like a puppy, so soft when it was only you.
You wrapped a hand around her waist and created a web out of your wrist. Her brown eyes went wide as she stared at you. "Don't you fucking—"
"Hold on tight, Pop." You said in your regular voice register, making Poppy stare up at you with shock. But before she could accuse you of anything you were both up in the air, swinging from light post to light post. The blonde was now holding onto you for dear life and screaming bloody murder. You winced a little of the sound of her piercing wailing. "Shut up and open your eyes. You're gonna miss the view."
Hesitantly, she cracked a single eye open. She was met with a beautiful view of the sunset, one that she wouldn't have been able to see if it wasn't for you. A grin formed over your lips as you pulled her atop a building with you.
Poppy sat beside you as you stared at the sunset before the both of you. "It's quite a view if you don't look down, huh?" You teased but she was lost in thought. You were clearly someone she knew, your voice was too distinct to really throw it off. She swallowed thickly, she'd been opening up to her enemy; in fact she was starting to really like her enemy, really like. The blonde only needed one more point of confirmation without really seeing your face.
Her head whipped quickly to look at your masked face, it was almost irritating to her how she could be right about the face behind the mask. You quirked a brow, amused grin on your lips. "What's that face? It looks like trouble."
Poppy bit her lip before reaching out to the bottom of your mask. "I've been wanting to do this..." She whispered as she tugged the elastic up gently, exposing your lips to the air. Slowly she leaned forward, stopping just before you, waiting for you to make the next move. Your heart was pounding erratically, Poppy had flooded your senses and your mind for the past few weeks you'd been with her out of Belvoire's eye.
'Fuck it.' You thought before leaning forward, pressing her lips to yours. Her arms moved to stroke the back of your head and around your neck, pulling you closer to her, silently begging for more. Both your faces were flushed as you pulled away. It was innocent compared to your other interactions, but it was all Poppy needed.
She knew those lips anywhere.
A couple of minutes had passed since you had your rooftop moment with Poppy, dropping her down to the sidewalk when she said she had some business to attend to, and it had your mind going a mile a minute. You two'd kissed and even gone further before but there was something about this one that left your lips tingling and your body wanting more of Poppy. You tried to shake off the feeling when you almost fell from the building because of a sudden vibration in between your chest.
You caught your bearings and pulled your phone out.
"What is it Zoey? I'm patrolling." You said sternly, eyes darting between the building lights that sparked to life and the streets below you. Her voice was panicked as she spoke, "I know, it was all over the T. And you weren't exactly alone." Your eyes went wide.
'Of course, Poppy would be recognized in the light of day.' You internally cursed yourself before rushing out apologies to Zoey who really did care about your identity being safe.
"I'm the least of your worries now, Bea. Poppy's on a hellpath over here. Get your ass home."
So there you were, frantically swinging into a more secluded part Belvoire's campus. You ran undetected by students who were too caught up on their phones to really pay attention to you. Finally, you reached your dorm and you shot a web, attaching to your window sill.
You jumped in through the window, hearing Zoey's almost muted excuses for the blonde not to enter your room. You ripped the mask off your face and ran into bed, pulling the thick comforter over your body. Making sure that you were concealing the white and black, muck ridden suit.
As if on cue, the door to your suite's bedroom flung open violently to reveal Poppy with a mildly irritated Zoey behind her. Her arms crossed and her brow quirked up.
"Get up, Farmsville." She sneered as you rolled over to face her better. A panic filled your chest as you stared into her awaiting brown eyes. "Did I stutter? I said...Get. Up."
While you wanted to tell her no and to get out she was already beside your bed with her comforter in hand. A tiny grin grew over her lips. While you couldn't tell whether to feel giddy at the sight or to feel absolute fear from it.
The white, black and pink webbed suit already open for her to see. You jumped onto your feet rushing out, "Poppy please, I know you hate me but please, you can't expose my identity. If you want me to step down—" You flinched when her hand raised tentatively to place her hands on your cheeks.
It was an odd feeling to actually have the softer version of your interactions over your skin rather than over your mask. Her brown eyes were still filled with determination and fire, but you didn't really mind all too much now. Your eyes wide as you stared at her shocked, heart pounding more than fighting any burglar.
She runs one of her hands through your thick hair while the other sat lazily on your shoulder, staring into your eyes intently. The blonde slowly approaches your lips until you feel her breath over your own. You swallowed down hard as the grip over your hair got tighter before she pulled you down without another word. On instinct or maybe pure muscle memory, you wrap your arm around her waist, hoisting her up a little higher.
Poppy smiled as she pulled away, leaving you speechless as she whispered, "I knew it was you, web for brains."

PERMISSION TO DANCE REVIEW
This meme above right about sums it up.
I'm not gonna dwell much on the song and it's message. I think it was an OK song. Sounded a bit highschool musical in my ears. I thought it works well as a bonus song on an Album after you've listened to a set of deep heavy themed songs like BE for example.
It lightens up your mood- my melancholic ass could never. As a stand alone song and following Butter... To each their own.
I don't know, but I feel I've heard this exact song over and over again- that's the type of song they made. If you know what I mean. Pop, it's called?
Also, I don't think I am the target audience for this type of music. I'm an emo angsty basic bitch type. Stay Gold, Louder than Bombs, Zero O'clock is more my thing, I'll do Dynamite, Butter on a commercial break or after listening to Adele. Filter is my Jam and Serendipity will always be that song for me.
Lately I've been listening to Sweetnight and Abyss. Just listen to the Army playlist they made for us. I cried listening to it and didn't know what to do with myself when Jimin performed Filter. HE IS A GREAT PERFORMER AND TALENT.
PTD has its listeners I won't lie. It has its unique audience in and outside the fandom. It does appeal to certain types of people and those are gonna be really happy with it- I envy them. If they had done an Airplane pt2 remix or an English remix of all their past hit songs like Fire, DNA, BWL, BST, I would have loved that instead but we don't always get what we want. I would sell my heart and kidneys to stream Filter if it comes in a full English version sang by Jimin. Hell I'll gladly pick cotton off the plantation and put chains on my legs myself if Jikook should hop on it too. uWu🤭
We can't like the same stuff or have the same taste in music. But we have BTS in common. And I think it's ok to not like certain songs but it's weird if you stop supporting them because of it. It broke my heart when we didn't break Butter's record. But that also goes to show the strength of the other songs. People streamed butter and dynamite not just because it's BTS but because they actually liked it. It's as simple as that.
As for PTD, I mean, I like HSM and Glee and still have a couple of sound tracks I listen to every now and then from their set list. I bet I could add PTD to that playlist and it will blend right in. Hold on lemme try that.
Yup. Blends right in. It's very pop boy bandy.
youtube
I think a major issue with the song for me is the people interchanging kid bop and happy song when critiquing the song. Just because it's a happy song don't make it a kid bop or vice versa.
Granted it is POP MUSIC NEVERTHELESS.
BTS are a Korean POP artist. They make POP music. POP music is often the song you hear in highschool musicals sometimes, and in Kid bops but that's just because these genres of music share similar features. They are upbeat, fast paced, have memorable rhythms and hooks.
The song they make is no different from the songs Gaga and all these other Pop artists make. I mean y'all know Lady Gaga's Rain on me won a Grammy right??? There's nothing wrong with Pop music.
BTS does the same songs these POP artists do except in Korean and they've modified the genre a little bit and given it their own flair and personal touch which make their songs stand out even within Kpop.
Their songs have always had that catchy upbeat rhythms, case in point boy with love. DNA, BST. They lace these upbeat sounds with serious heavy messages and discuss deep meaningful themes and social issues behind those beats and I feel that's what a lot of people are used to.
A lot of 'Kid bop' do that too. There can be happy, cherry beats with deep messages behind it or dark heavy beats with light and not so deep messages. Why do y'all associate light weighted messages with children's acts and songs? Y'all hate children don't you?
I think a lot of people are bemoaning the fact they are not used to BTS making such pop music devoid of the heavy and serious messages which was their key signature. We can't demonize such people.
I personally do love me some Pop music, even Kids bop. But I lean towards those Pop with deeper meanings whether or not those are cherry or melancholic beats. I prefer Intentions to Yummy for example- that's just because I don't have that yummy yummy for the men. Girls only. Sorry.
I think this is what Jimin addressed in a VLive when they discussed their desire to send out hopeful messages to the world and Jimin said they had to be careful not to over do it because that would undermine their efforts? Please stan Jimin. His emotional intelligence is something else.
Him talking about Zero Oclock and how RM's lyricism resonates with him spoke volumes as to how he and perhaps some of the others feel with the direction they are taking their music. I don't know. Just my thought. I think he spoke for some of us when he said that and RM had them move on quickly from that topic. Insert skull heads.
They can't make serious themed songs all the time. But I think the problem here is not a lot of people organically appreciate the genre of music or artistry they are veering into- granted not a lot of people appreciate BTS organically too. Western artists get criticized just as much for the music they make as well as their artistry and I think it's preposterous if we as a fandom expect the market to hold BTS to a different standard- again, granted some just plain ass hate BTS so there's that.
If you look at the top 10 songs on the billboard 100, and you consider even the genre of the song competing at number two next to butter you should understand where some people are coming from- those genuine critics I mean.
I think people who are not in the fandom should stay out of fandom business. Y'all never liked BTS shut up. Y'all never supported them when they were killing themselves making great music. Y'all never appreciated them fuxk off and leave us to it.
For those of us in the fandom I think we have every right to be honest with our boys. We is their ride or die and we owe it to them to be honest with them. Know what I mean?
If you don't like it it's cool. There are hundred others you liked and would like in the future. Personally, I'm looking forward to when the Pandemic is over and they release a full album like before. It's gone be fire I just know it! Let's win some, let's lose some but please keep on supporting them.
Stream, stream, stream. Nobody has their backs out here apart from us. And I hope they listen. They better come online and talk to us and hear what we have to say cos lately this feels very much one sided💀
I thought Dynamite was great. Butter was amazing. PTD is OK - just not for me.
Now on to the MV.
I'm sorry but Bighit didn't understand the assignment on this one for me. I gotta say as a gay woman. Directornim run us back our monies please. Thank you.
A lot of people have praised the video for incorporating sign language in the video- something they've been doing for a while now, especially Tae- shout out to Tae. Dude has been a positive influence on the group since day dot and they are lucky to have him.
BTS killed it as always. Whatever it is they do, they always put their best foot forward- except for those times they literally walked through the choreography on stage or rolled on the floor like tummy full panda bears. RM I'm looking at you. If you are tired just say so. Tae you too- don't even we saw you🤣
Jin gets a pass cos he's always complaining bout the choreo anyway💀
Park Jimin gets a gold medal for this MV cos that man danced like his life depended on it. He put his whole back into this and when he threw his jacket in the end I cried because I couldn't catch it- I was too far away from the TV. Y'all don't know how it feels 😭😭😭
I think he missed a step somewhere but it's fine. No one noticed. Lol. He is so cute. He was probably the only member who stood out for me in the whole MV- and no it's not because he's my bias. He is a very hardworking guy and it showed. Not to say the others didn't work hard.
He brought that high school musical larger than life dramatic dance performance from the moment he stepped into frame- I mean if it must be done, it must be done well, no?
I loved what Tae did at the center of the dance formation. I love when he centers. I watched that bit several times. He is a really breathtakingly handsome man. Jk at the opening was chef's kiss. I love how the song itself begins. The beat, the rhythm, LOVE IT.
Sope can come for my money. All of it.
Please RM is for the blacks. We claim him as a Wakandaian. Wakanda forever.
Jk's initial hairstyle was not my favorite but I guess it served its purpose too. I would have lost all self confidence if they gave me that haircut and asked me to dance infront of my peers to a highschool musical but dude danced like he had the best fit in the world on... good for him. We love a confident king.
My personal idiosyncrasies aside, I think I was mostly disappointed with how bland and nonrevolutionary the visuals were in terms of the coding and portrayal community and the diverse groups- feel free to roll your eyes at me. Lol.
A lot of people applaud them for the way they seemed to celebrate community and strived to be inclusive of everyone in terms of the video's portrayal of a diverse cast of characters. But it is in this representation I have problems.
This idealistic notion of community seems out of touch with reality and frankly I found some of the artistic directions out of date.
The sense of community portrayed in the video works well- IN 1995. Not 2021.
A girl in a uniform serving food to a group of men- strike one.
It's 2021. You still cast women as waitresses and maternal in Music videos??? Is that all that we are? I guess some women are but that's just lazy stereotyping. Put a man in that role for once chilee. Let's normalize men being care givers and nurturers too.
A woman at a desk working for a man- strike two.
How about the two men work at the desk while the woman is cast as the boss who supervises them because women are no longer secretaries to these men of letters of yore? How about that???
And yes, I saw the Janitor in the school setting but let's not act like Women being cast as teachers is revolutionary. Sounds normative to me.
It's 2021 you can't be using these lame ass over done stereotypes and cliche of a visual to represent people. You can't keep putting women in the Kitchen, men in the offices with women as their secretaries😫
Do better.
Heterosexual couples and the rampant heteronormativity throughout the video- strike three.
Now unless, these models are secretly transgendered or queer HOW THE FUCK DO YOU NOT SHOW DIVERSITY in the way you portray couples and relationships in a project like this IN 2021?
In which universe sir? IN WHICH UNIVERSE?
Not all relationships are traditional nowadays. AND YES REPRESENTATION MATTERS. If you are gonna go there GO THERE. You gotta be actively inclusive my guy. I saw the racial diversity, age diversity, economic diversity but the gender and sexuality diversity, inclusivity and representation- WHERE IS IT????
If you can't show two gay couples kissing DON'T SHOW TWO HETEROSEXUAL COUPLES KISSING. We hate to see it just as they hate to see us kissing on screens. We are tired of seeing heterosexualilty being presented as the acceptable norm. If you as men can grind on eachother, have all these delulu people swear up and down y'all are gay in a polyamorous relationship and kiss up on eachother as men for entertainment YOU CAN CERTAINLY HAVE ACTUAL QUEER PEOPLE DO ALL OF THAT IN YOUR MUSIC VIDEOS FOR REPRESENTATION.
It's not enough to queer bait and put queer in the subtext. How about you put heterosexuality in the subtext? Have a man and woman stare awkwardly at eachother and let the audience imply intimacy from that while the gays jump eachother's bones full frontal in full HD?
And couldn't you at least cast 'disabled' models too?? The wheelchairs WHERE IS IT? The world is not just filled with able bodied people who have two eyes and two legs and run around dancing like a bunch of hippies you know??? Respect to Hippies.
There are homeless people, bed ridden people, sick people, poor people, gay, lesbians, neurodivergents, trans, and all calibre of people in the world and I know you can't represent all but at least get the basics rights. What happened to yall?? Y'all seem out of tune with your fanbase chilee. Lemme mind my business before I throw hands.
They had so many opportunities to push the limits on certain boundaries in media. I'm used to Kpop and BTS being revolutionary and their art offering a commentary on social issues. I mean hell, female Kpop artists switching their male dancers for female dancers and vice versa in a homoerotic performance will never not be epic.
They better replace that heterosexual couple with Jikook and make them kiss and shit in the live performances else I'm sending a truck full of rants. I just want some gay in text, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!
It felt like the video leaned heavily into western stereotypes in how it portrayed community, women, gender roles and relationships. It leaned into the conservative end of the spectrum which my nonconservative ass can't relate to.
I want to know what other queer people think about this. I was so excited when I saw the woman in the beginning but disappointed when the man and woman kissed instead I won't lie. I mean I would gladly kiss the women in there for them if it's that's deep. I love children but I don't want one for myself so I don't know how I feel about the kids running around in the MV. If anything it made me nervous. But it was cute. I'm scared of all the bts parents theories that will be come out of this.
I miss Holland. I'm gonna have to watch his music videos to heal from this cos there's too much straight in this MV I feel oppressed.
Jimin please do the gay for the fam we are being starved and under represented 🙁
All hail our 'gay Moses' or was it Jesus?
PTD Is for the hets and abled bodied.
Can't win them all.
I'm happy there are some people who saw themselves in the video and appreciate the fact they were represented- however way they were represented.
I think it's amazing BTS has diverse musical genres in diverse languages- English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, etc. Not many artists can pull that off. And I want to hear them sing in as many Languages as they can.
But I would feel alienated if suddenly they were doing Japanese songs back to back- hell I get jealous when they and Karmy get on their kinship shit.
It's a bit disappointing that we the 'English' stans don't appreciate that for almost a year they have been catering to us- granted that has been rewarding for them too.
It took them a while to find their sound when they started out. I think it will take them a while to find their sound if making English songs is something that has come to stay. We just have to be patient with them.
I'm gonna manifest English Filter and Serendipity and leave this fandom to the chaos.
In short. I don't have an opinion on this topic.
Signed,
GOLDY
