"Forever is also... always talking about a clock? ... ... ... We've got that in common."

I have no clue if anyone has offered up this song before. (Or if you're still taking them) But Des Rocs - Nothing Personal Reminds me Sorry, Its locked. Specifically how Alex treats Jay. (I hope you see my vision)

Oooooo i haven't heard of this song before. It's fun. I'm definitely still taking songs, i'm always taking songs, i fucking love getting new songs for sorry it's locked lol. its the best way to think about the fic while i can't actually write it for whatever reason.

The way the dude sounds like he's losing his mind as the song progresses is so perfect honestly, because yeah, Alex is slowly losing his mind.

Okay, shitty sleep deprived lyric analysis whoooo. Enjoy lmao, if this makes no sense blame my going to sleep at 4am last night.

I found you sleeping in my coffin Pale white and in your favourite party dress I start to feel a little nauseous Bloody tears, they are falling as I wept

Okay, but like, this whole thing makes it sound like the singer is a vampire, right? Alex feeling like he's undead. He's dead but his body just keeps going.

The first line is like when Alex woke up after he and Jay had sex at his house. He woke up to find Jay in his bed (i know he didn't actually wake up in the morning with Jay in his bed, he found Jay in the laundry closet, but he can have woken up in the middle of the night or something and saw Jay), in his coffin if we're going by the whole undead thing, which i am, and he feels like he must have drained Jay dry (of energy not actual blood, but you know) hence the 'paleness,' and he starts to realize just how badly he's fucked up by doing all the things he refused to in college.

And it makes him feel sick and really upset because in the back of his mind he starts to realize he's going to have to drive Jay away, otherwise it'll cause all sorts of issues.

You could use a little action Run away and lead a life without consequence Reaching for a book of matches Strike a light and you'll see the real mess that I am

Alex want's Jay to leave of his own accord, he wants Jay to take action and leave so that he doesn't have to kill him, and if he makes Jay think he's making the decision to leave on his own he's more likely to stick with it. If Alex just told him to leave, Jay would more likely try even harder to get answers and figure out what's happening.

Alex is going to show Jay just how nasty he can be, just what a mess of a person he can be, in hopes that it'll scare Jay away and keep him safe.

I swear it's nothing personal (X8)

Alex is desperately trying to remind himself that it's not anything to do with a personal dislike for Jay (it's literally the exact opposite lol), he is doing everything to keep Jay safe, and if Jay was anyone else he'd have done the same to try and save them (as long as he liked them the same way he liked Jay)

I'm gonna take you home 'Til the morning comes I swear it's nothing personal I swear that it is nothing personal

Self explanatory, he took Jay home and they had sex at his house, in his bed, for the first time. And then in the morning he did a full 180 from being lovely to being a dick, but it wasn't personal. it's not because he hates Jay or anything like that and he's desperate to remind himself of that and prove himself.

I, I see your collar bone And wanna lose control I swear it's nothing personal I swear that it is nothing personal

Gay. Lmao. Sorry, anyway, yeah, Alex saw Jay again in that parking lot and he just wanted to, like, let things go back to how they used to be even just for a little bit. He wanted to 'lose control' and just ignore all the stuff he's meant to be doing (killing Jay) to do something enjoyable instead (fucking Jay), and that 'loss' of control would actually be him taking control of the situation, and taking control of Jay again, like back in college.

This time when Alex swears it's nothing personal he's doing it in a desperate attempt to tell himself that it's not because he likes Jay, he's just pent up and frustrated and anyone would do. But it is personal. It is because it's Jay. He knows he'll have to kill him at some point, but he's trying desperately to find a reason not to do it yet.

I, I wanna drain you of the mourning I wanna tear away the shadows brick by brick I know you could've used a warning You thought I kissed you just to borrow some lipstick?

Alex hopes that taking Jay back to his house and having sex with him there will kind of make it so that Jay's less upset by having to make the decision to leave. Logically, he knows that's not how that works and fucking Jay at his house and in his bed just made it more painful for Jay to leave, because he finally got a taste of everything he'd been hoping he could one day have with Alex, but then again Alex isn't thinking straight, so.

Jay definitely could have used a warning when it came to everything Alex did, like, all the stuff the morning after, but Alex couldn't give him one. If Alex had given Jay a warning that he was going to be lovely to him and then turn a full 180, that would have worked against Alex's goal of making Jay hate him.

Also, the last line, about the lipstick, to me kinda sounds like the singer is saying that he didn't just kiss his partner for some stupid reason, like to borrow their lipstick. He kissed them for a real reason. Alex kissing Jay on the forehead and cheek and all that wasn't for no reason, Alex did it because he likes Jay and he knew that'd be the last chance he ever got to do that.

Go be a stranger at a party Reading lips across a room of empty space With a secret you keep guarded Like a funeral buries all our past mistakes

Again, Alex needing Jay to leave and hate him and become a stranger.

I swear it's nothing personal (X8)

I'm gonna take you home Until the morning comes I swear it's nothing personal I swear that it is nothing personal

I, I see your collar bone And wanna lose control I swear it's nothing personal I swear that it is nothing personal

I, I'm gonna take you home Unil the morning comes I swear it's nothing personal I swear that it is nothing personal

I, I see your collar bone And wanna lose control I swear it's nothing personal I swear that it is nothing personal

I... (X4)

I'm gonna take you home 'Til the morning comes I swear it's nothing personal I swear that it is nothing personal

I, I see your collar bone And wanna lose control I swear it's nothing personal I swear that it is nothing personal

I...

All repeated lyrics so same as above because i'm too tired to come up with anything else, i keep going to bed at 3am

Paripi Koumei/Ya Boy Kongming! drama finale extremely brief almost-4am thoughts.

I'M NOT EVEN MAD ABOUT THEM DOING THIS TO ME. IT HURT SO GOOD. I LOVED IT OH MY GODDDDDD.

It's the middle of the night and I should be sleeping, but I have no self control so when I saw this was available I needed to watch it immediately. Summer Sonia plan has its bumps but everything works out. Eiko and Maria sing together, everything is AWESOME for everyone who isn't Keiji and the show has 10 mins to go and yayyyy!

But then Kongming is drawn back to that meeting with Liu Bei they've been blue balling us with all series and he realises:

Cue Kongming and Owner having a heartfelt conversation in a way only two middle-aged men who converse exclusively through Three Kingdoms lore can.

Obviously the exact details are kind of skewed, but Kobayashi has previously suggested Kongming's dreams are calling to him so he can accept that Kongming has to go and lets him. Eiko is performing and doesn't realise any of this is going on. Later that night at the BB Lounge she thanks Kongming and he gives her his final pep talk.

But can't bring himself to say he thinks he's going back to being dead or whatever, so he holds back tears and Eiko just goes about like :D before singing upon Kongming's request without realising he sees this as the final performance of hers he'll ever witness. FLASHBACK TO ALL THE GOOD TIMES. SHOW WHY YOU DO THIS. HE BEGINS WALKING TOWARDS LIU BEI...

Cut to everyone else coming in for the evening's celebrations as Eiko is performing, Kongming lets everyone step in front of him until he disappears behind the crowd...

Outside the club Kobayashi (who has been escorting KABEtaijin) suddenly looks up at a shooting star in the sky and silently mouths "Kongming."

KABE and Kobayashi head inside, everyone is celebrating and it's super cute.

Kobayashi looks around for Kongming but can't see him so heads behind the bar. Then Eiko, oblivious Eiko WHO HAS HAD NO IDEA WHATSOEVER THAT ANY OF THIS WAS HAPPENING, can't see Kongming anywhere either! She calls out for him, asks Owner but he says he hasn't seen him... Kongming is just... gone...

She looks everywhere for Kongming, calling his name....

😭😭😭

... and then she finds him in front of the mirror in the back room crying but IT'S OK BECAUSE HE'S.STILL.HERE.

He didn't die on the way back to his home planet like Poochie! He's stuck in Shibuya using Paypay like everyone else! MASSIVE MASSIVE FAKE OUT JUST TO TOY WITH EVERYONE'S FEELINGS IN THE FINAL 10 MINUTES OF THE SHOW OH MY GOD.

But I'm not mad because it got me good. I was like 😭 at every turn, then he just doesn't go and it's like y'know what? That's cool. I'M JUST GLAD HE'S HERE OK.

The problem with the idea of sending Kongming "back" is that, well, he died in the past. The first thing he does in the present is check his pulse and he's alive now, so given he's not a ghostly presence or anything there isn't any real "going back" to be had for Kongming imho. He's just some ojii-san in the city now and I couldn't ask for more. He did finally make peace with the presence of Liu Bei and his failures in the past, now he's purely living that Shibuya life and the drama is entirely open to a movie or sequel.

The ratings weren't great so I'm not sure that will happen, but I am just truly happy that we got these 10 episodes of television. The production values were high, the cast were excellent and the writing fleshed out the manga story beautifully. The whole concept is absolutely absurd and these last couple of episodes felt somwhat rushed, but the drama approaches everything so earnestly that it's hard not to get swept up in it all.

So now I have to go try and sleep without dwelling on all the sad Kongming faces I just had to endure.

😭😭😭

7 Things About swingers club Your Boss Wants to Know

Details, Fiction and What Happens At A Swingers Club

Visitors to the exclusivelysilks.co.uk website can find the opportunity to join the ‘Silk Swingers’ club. Owners stated they wished to keep the standard of the club to the ‘highest’ setting while ‘enriching’ your experience. However, he is listed on Companies House as a director of the private club. Mr McCloud had informed licensing officers that Exclusively Silks rented out part of Croydon Hall for its events.

The Secret Life Of What Happens At A Swingers Club

At the end of a decompensation, the unsub will go in a temporary psychotic break and start revisiting old patterns to see if they would still work. When he finds that they do not, he will be compelled to destroy them and anyone involved in them. Other tools that couples utilize in the negotiation process include allowing partners to veto new relationships, prior permission, and interaction between partners. This helps to reassure each partner in the relationship that their opinion is important and matters.

It said it would be hosting a £80-a-ticket monthly events, including a ‘Burns Night’ party at the end of January, as well as being available for private visits. Mr McCloud originally applied to extend the licence until 4am, but changed this to 3am following discussions with Avon and Somerset Constabulary. Judge, for his part, calls Cretul a “vengeful man” who attempted to turn the authorities against him because of a prior disagreement. “I’m a taxpayer, I do what I have to do to stay up and beyond the law. I don’t sell drugs, I don’t condone drugs, I don’t condone anything against the law,” Judge said.

The Basics of What Happens At A Swingers Club As You Are Able To Reap The Benefits Of Beginning Today

Among those people who said they were "somewhat unhappy" or "unhappy" with their marriages before swinging, around 80–90 percent said they were happier with their marriages after they started swinging. Nearly half of people who said they were "very happy" with their marriages before swinging claimed to be even happier with their marriages after swinging. Open marriage can in some cases increase marital satisfaction. Cultural pressure may also dissuade initiating or switching to an open relationship. There is a commonly held societal stereotype that those involved in open relationships are less committed or mature than those who are in monogamous relationships. Films, media, and self-help books present the message that to desire more than one partner means not having a "true" relationship.

"I feel more love for her now, knowing what it is like to be with other people than I think I would have if that's the only experience I have ever had in my life." Another swinging couple, Bob and Tess, were college sweethearts. They've been married 19 years, and five years into their marriage they decided to try the lifestyle.

The Significance Of What Happens At A Swingers Club

Then there are the podcasts hosted by couples that are actually about being a couple. Of these, ONE Extraordinary Marriage is perhaps the most noteworthy. Hunt attributed the low number swingers101.com/7-tips-for-first-time-swingers-swinger-clubs-charlotte-nc/ of people in these open marriages to various social, psychological, and practical problems. The unsub is an emasculated Caucasian alpha male in his 40s with a near obsessive-compulsive need for control, and judging by the repeated details of the murders, it seems that his ritual is essential to him. He almost definitely has some woman in his life, most likely a wife, as he would otherwise not be allowed to enter inside a swingers' party alone. Jealousy is often present in monogamous relationships, and adding one or more partners to the relationship may cause it to increase.

So if that’s the reason you’re opening the relationship, it’ll likely result in a breakup. There are no disadvantages of open relationships, per se, only wrong reasons for entering into an open relationship. You and your partner both have a lot of love to give and believe you can love more than one person at once. Usually, folks in open relationships don’t feel like their current relationship structure is a hardwired part of who they are. In November 2021, Smith said during a GQ interview that "Jada never believed in conventional marriage... Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship. So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up."

But, for many, the shift to monogamy was due to a genuine change in what they sought in relationships. Couples in open marriages expose themselves to the potential for conflicts caused by jealousy. Studies have shown that 80 percent or more of couples in open marriages experience jealousy over their extramarital relationships. Jealousy with its roots in open marriage can lead to serious conflicts. For example, attempting to interfere with a rival relationship may make a partner angry. Insulting or berating a partner may provoke retaliatory responses.

Putrid reflection, with all of its excuses and memories, continues to cling to me beneath this makeup. The eraser on my pencil wore out years ago. Permanent marker and documentation, though I’ve run from their context, expose how little I know about anything. Needing to fake it regularly, I wish I didn’t have the capacity to play pretend. If only the deep seated self surfaced, my lies would crumble. I’m not calm, cool, or collected. When things appear to be in order, it’s messy inside me. I have my confidants and writings. Certain ones know how frail this heart really is despite my mechanical means of adulting. I don’t hide anything from infinity because such is a waste of time and energy. I guess that the issue is that there isn’t one. My imagination concocts scenarios and outcomes that aren’t real. The presuppositions of deserving, earning, and should be are built on finite vanities and foundations. The prioritization of becoming is a distraction from being sustained infinitely. From the atom to ecosystem, each breath and second is synthesized by our sources. Such generalization makes for a good scapegoat and fuels avoidance. However, ignoring it to feel in control is worse. 10,000 ways to complicate it, I’m just getting warmed up. Multiplying words and ideas, my “issue” is self-inflicted. I was given everything but want to earn some of it. Damn. Eventually, I need to grow up and just receive it. Such is love. That thing which all of us don’t deserve equally . . . Even if I don’t want to accept it, its impact creates me. Mercy, naïveté, and devotion; these three are annihilating my wicked depravity repeatedly.

I finished s2 of the rookie and I really shouldn't start s3 after being up till like 4am last night and its almost midnight now but I have no self control

i am in no comfort with my own self to have hope for my future self. my life is in constant distress and everyone fails to see or acknowledge what toll its taking upon my own sanity. no one is understanding of the fact of how often i wish to be dead. the constant contemplation of death or better future is what holds a grudge against my throat…

…has my ship simply sunken so low to the point of misinterpretation and confusion? i am sure someone is bound to understand the lowness i have reached, i hope? right? i am getting older, why does it get worse? will it ever be okay again? i don’t want to feel like a burden to anyone, i don’t wish to speak, but i don’t wish to worry anyone. if i don’t act as the human i have already portrayed others, i will be perceived differently. i am in a deep state of hurt and i know and am aware that no one will come and save me. i want to save myself, but am in a constant battle with myself. no one can help me, i must help myself, but i am having trouble helping myself where do i turn to from here…

…unfortunate circumstances have led me to walk a discrete path of constant fear of loneliness and emptiness. i have never been able to make myself happy, i do not feel proud of myself. i have struggled since a child to manage to understand or comprehend my own reality. why has my failure started since such young age, why did no one help me? why did everyone allow for me to walk down this ugly path that i have roamed like a carcass of my own self. hiding my insecurities, pain and flaws have become a hourly routine which i cant escape. i find better comfort when everyone is asleep and the night is silent. i get to be myself and cry and have my insecurities pour straight out of me. i am flawed and my flaws are not loved for. what an oddity of a human. i don’t believe that this world has ever been flat out meant to be for me.

…its 4am and i am self aware that i have to wake up in 3 hours to be ready for work. i have repeated this cycle for a week or two now, understanding the fact that each time i have done this i have failed to properly stay awake while working and have done poorly at my own position. my anxiety rises to levels of that of a manic person, i have to grip my wrists to find inner self control within myself. the constant pressure of overthinking the most petrifying and unsatisfying thoughts to ever cross my mind are truly penetrating a hole in my heart. i am not okay and am dealing with something much greater than myself. no one will save me. no one will hold my hand and tell me its okay. no one will be here. no one will simply hold me. no one will understand.

ugh just saw some absolutely rancid takes. and then bc I have no self control I went to their blog and scrolled for like 20 min. now I feel all yuckyyyy. ugh its 4am time to log off I think

Today I was far less productive than I should've been... Everything has gone by in such a blur. Of course I made some key mistakes that I severely regret. I keep making it, and there is no excuse. I just wish I had more self-control. I didn't fully finish packing, I didn't meet any of my goals. I went to work from 8am to 1pm, I did truck there, I got out and came home to finish the paperwork I had, I ate a lot, cuddled with my cat, got high, watched Court Cam... OH! I visited my siblings for a while, and I regret leaving as early as I did. If I don't end up seeing them before I leave it will be very hurtful for me. I also went to the store and picked up all the school supplies I thought I would need, so those are in the back of the car with the cleaning supplies and a couple of t-shirts I thought were cute. What I really wanted to get done was this kitchen and the rest of my room, and then maybe even the living room and the bedroom upstairs. Really, the only thing I didn't have much productivity in was cleanliness. But, considering I leave for work at 11am tomorrow, I have time tonight before bed. I want to get blazed, take a shower, clean everything or at least clean until I just can't stand it. Or until the clock hits 4am, at the latest. It will likely take me less than 20 minutes out of my whole day to have this kitchen and my bedroom immaculate but I feel all these invisible restraints. I feel immobilized when I have the sensation of being watched, and that causes a lot of my "procrastination" but so does authentic procrastination. At the moment, there's the additional factor of being scared of the night-time. That makes me hesitant to move much as well. So, basically, I'm a bit spooked at the moment and I'm using any and everything as an excuse to get out of moving from where I sit, glued to my laptop. There are ghastly sounds happening all around me, and I just feel stuck. But it's preposterous and counter-productive to let shit like that get in the way, I know. The truth is that the sooner I do it, the more pleased I can be, HEY, the more sleep I can get! How much would it really change whether or not I am being watched? And wouldn't I just love to get these offensive smells away from me? What's the big whoop? If I always make such a big deal out of cleaning, it will never get easier. The stress I feel when things are messy should be answered with the desire to fix that, not just sit there in it and be miserable. It's a really good example of how I can manage to be so accepting of the horrible bullshit around me while I contribute to its continuation. It's okay. Nothing will change, it isn't scary, it isn't different. Am I scared of some fucking dishes in a sink? Are they really worse than the mold I'll have to caress if I don't just get up and do them?

wip wednesday!

Callum let out a little groan when he woke and was immediately faced with a bright streak of moonlight in his eye. That was pretty much the only downside so far of his--well, their--new bedroom. The window dressing above Rayla’s bed never quite met in the middle to cover the window entirely, leaving a strip of light to fall right across Callum’s pillow. It was most inconvenient in the mornings when it was the sun streaking through the window, and it had been annoying at night too, especially since the moon was still pretty bright in the sky, having just last night waned into half-moon territory.

He flopped to his side, evading the blinding white light, and looked across to the other bright streak of moonlight in his room. 

The grin that pulled across his lips was automatic, even in bleary-eyed drowsiness. She’d definitely roll her eyes at that one. She’d also probably smile as she did so, and maybe, if he said it at just the right moment, she might laugh too. He tucked the line away. 

He yawned and let his eyes flutter back nearly closed, continuing to stare dreamily at the way Rayla’s hair, all bright and shiny and a little tangled up, contrasted with the dull cream color of the pillow she rested on. She appeared, based on her stillness, to be sleeping. Though, it was hard to tell just looking at the back of her head. 

That was good, if she was asleep. Her yawning and late mornings for the past few days told him that she needed the rest. 

Sleeping in a new place could be difficult, he supposed. In fact, the only thing he remembered about his first week in the castle was how dark it had been in his new room. He’d insisted on the large window here--the one currently bothering him--for that reason. 

Maybe she was starting to adjust, though, he thought hopefully, his eyes drifting shut the rest of the way.

Then, she made the most miserable little noise he’d ever heard. Worse than in the desert. He was alert and sitting up instantly. “Rayla?”

“Go back to sleep, Callum,” she said, not even bothering to turn over. Her tone wasn’t tearful like he’d been expecting. She was...angry?

okay, alright, Encanto-inspired Monkie Kid AU time

(warning, there are a few Encanto spoilers in here)

this is very messy and not fully thought through but im just Vibing in the Space right now

im not really thinking of ships either here, mainly just want to do friendship and found family in this one because. i don’t think i’ve done nearly enough of it but i definitely Should

we start off mostly the same, with the whole “MK becomes Sun Wukong’s successor” thing staying the same way it was in canon

where things start going different though...

Wukong gets Pepa’s ability to control the weather via emotions- ‘cept it wasn’t part of his initial power set, this time around it’s a curse. one that he’s keen to not let MK know about

Bad Weather can be a lot funnier in this now that im thinking of it actually

anyways

Flower Fruit Mountain- surrounded by volcano’s, right? that means its highly likely that at one point the mountain itself was volcanically active.

yeah.

“completely unrelated” to that, Wukong gets the song “Surface Pressure”, although when that would happen specifically in this AU im still not certain about

Macaque gets to be Bruno

pretty sure y’all saw that coming

whats fun though is that here, Macaque disguises himself as a Random Monkey Demon that Also Lives on Flower Fruit Mountain, and gives MK some Bonus Training like that

(for context there’s probably like a bunch of Normal Monkey Demons that live on Flower Fruit Mountain s that’s what Macaque is disguised as)

Wukong: where- where did you learn that MK: oh, the disguise thing? i learned it from one of the other monkeys- Wukong: MK. none of the other monkeys know how to do that MK: oh. uh. i was lying, ive just been practicing on my own- Wukong, causing it to start pouring rain with his worry: MK do you know how dangerous that is what if one of your powers goes wrong and im not there to help-

the Normal Monkey Demons are the one’s that sing We Don’t Talk About Bruno in reference to Macaque.

whats fun about that is that Macaque joins in to sing the “SEVEN FOOT FRAME-” part. he’s a theater kid let him have this

anyways. after MK realizes theres something Up about this Monkey Demon in particular, he follows him back to this “small” cave on the other side of Flower Fruit Mountain, hidden by like, moss and vines and stuff. Anyways he follows Macaque into this cave and sees him change back to his normal self

MK: you’re Macaque!?! Macaque: *(jumps and shrieks, dropping the spear he was holding and sending it clanging to the ground)* MK: Macaque: MK: uh- Macaque, turning and walking away: bye. MK: no wait-

while chasing Macaque through the cave system MK sees these cracks that have been filled in with a gold liquid.

MK: have you been...filling these in to keep the mountain from falling down? Macaque: what? oh, those, no, I’m too scared to go near any of that. once the steam pressure get done releasing, the patching is all done by Wukong MK: I thought Monkey King didn’t know- Macaque, disguised as Wukong: Its me, the one and only brave and courageous Monkey King, afraid of nothing, real and in the flesh! MK: Macaque, letting the glamour fall: heh, it’s uh, actually still just me...

Macaque could hear the mountain starting to become volcanic again, and when he tried to look into the future to see if everything would be fine, he heard Wukong yelling at him right before the eruption, and concluded that, well, if he vanished, then Wukong would never be able to yell at him, and thus the eruption wouldn’t happen

MK thinks that’s utter bullshit and decides they should listen to the future again

they do need the whole “large open space” thing to do it in (especially if Macaque want’s to transfer it to MK so that he can also hear it) but since Wukong would notice if they did it on the mountain....

they go to Mei’s house

Mei: what are you doing here at 4am in the morning MK, looking like he’s been through hell and back: haha, uh, thanks for disabling the security measures Mei Macaque, standing behind him, patting out a small fire that started on his scarf from where one of the lazers hit him: security measures- who the fuck needs that many security measures, im never leaving my cave ever again-

they don’t really hear anything truly....helpful. its all kinda jumbled up, making it near impossible to hear anything really important.

during this MK gets to hear exactly what Macaque heard that made him leave, aka, Wukong yelling at him, the end of his sentence cut off by the eruption overpowering it

(no i do not have that dialogue figured out yet thanks for asking)

as soon as Macaque realizes what MK is hearing he tries to cut off the whole thing

MK makes him keep it going though

which is how they end up briefly hearing Red Son shout “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?”

so, obviously, they make the rational decision

and go and break into Red Son’s “secret lair”. (Mei told them were it was)

and thats..thats all that i have at the moment

ive got a few more parts for it obviously but i need to do a bit more thinking about all of it before i can share them fgkdjgdljfkdfjdls

Which members of BTS do you think dislikes ARMY the most 💀

Ait Putin do your thang

Well it can't be Jungkook he has Army tattooed on his body. *snorts.

Can't be Taehyung either cos he's cute and I like him🤷🏾‍♀️

I'd say Suga but really he don't give a fuck about anybody so... also I like my head to stay on my neck thank you very much.

Namjoon is a simp for Army so let's not go there. He's too grateful for Army to hate em it's ridiculous.

Hobi has the most reason to hate us all but really he a self help guru on his off days so no.

Jin Jin JinJinJin Jin Jin JinJinJin

I think Jimin could love us less but he a pacifist. Weird that one. Need to call him back for maintenance checks. Some one remind him he's a killing machine💀

I think they all dislike the toxicity that is prevalent within certain pockets of the fandom, the childishness, charging like bulls at every thing, interfering with their business, they dislike the privacy invasion and constant want of unmitigated access to their personal lives, the constant demand for their attention for them to satisfy our insatiable need for content, subjecting them to impossible standards of behavior, standards of beauty, they detest the power we hold over them such that we control even whom they should love and would punish them should they declare their independence from us by daring to share their loved ones with us.

They hate that there are institutions that hold these powers in trust and enforce these rigorous absurd standards and expectations through capitalist coercion, who censor them on our behalf, who tell them you can't say this or Army will be mad, you can't let them know you are married or in love or are gay, stay away from these topics if you want longevity in your career, you can't sing this song with this member cos it comes off as gay, you should do a live for them even though you don't want to and are clearly not prepared for it, loose weight, gain weight, sit here with this person so your shippers will be happy, this member and that member are too close and not a lot of fans like seeing that, lets mingle, try not to make this live about you two, don't mention you two were together at 4am on his birthday.

That level of censorship is enough to cause resentment even amongst the hosts of heaven much less them and the ones who suffer the most by this have every right to hate but don't because it goes against their advocacy on love and healing.

Then you mention the uneven distribution of support for their projects. Some members get more support on their solo songs than others, sell out faster than others, have more Instagram followers than others. They may not come out to say these things are troubling but when they spit out their 'love all seven' slogan you know immediately what they are speaking to. They are self aware.

While I wouldn't argue they hate army, I would argue just how much and how deep that love goes. BTS have profound gratitude and deep respect for their fanbase unlike any other celebrity and idol.

Someone i knew once pointed out the symbiotic nature of the relationship between Army and BTS and its true. We have a mutually benefiting relationship.

That's not to say they don't chat shit behind our backs they do💀

If I had to make a list at all, I'd be describing the least tolerant of Armys nonsense to the most tolerant and not necessarily who hates army cos none do.

Taehyung is the least tolerant member

Followed by Jungkook

Followed by Jin

Followed by Suga

Followed by..... may be Namjoon /Hobi

Followed by Hobi/ Namjoom

Followed by Jimin/Namjoon

I'm almost always tempted to put Namjoon last and Jungkook first.

But in all the hyung line are more tolerant in my opinion except of cos for Jin. The maknae line are the least tolerant except for Jimin. Jimin is very kumbaya while Jin tend to be indifferent. I don't think he cares much as long as he is in his own happy place.

Please stream Abyss and cry with me. His happy is happy. His sad is sad. Bless his heart.
