It is kinda funny seeing people talk about Seungmin lately because he definitely has gotten more bold and confident for sure. He's also just getting opportunities to be perceived as an individual on his own as well for the first time in a while but it's still jarring to see people be like Aw he was always such a quiet goodie two shoes little nerd and it's like...... he was the one to leave and seek out his own vocal coach and blatantly talk about it, which of course lead to I.N and Lee Know also doing the same, he was the one to go on bubble and tell off sasaengs who used to camp outside their old dorm for invading members privacy but also because it effected other residents and staff at the complex, something that i'm certain upper management wouldnt have been happy about, and he wasn't curt or nice about it either. like he's never actually been a wallflower, he's always had a pretty strong backbone and seems to stick to his principals, its not really new.
What if he is looking at Mike going up to the roof with El all "There goes the love of my life and the love of his life" and Mike is looking at him like "Ahhhh! This is it!! At this point I might be the gayest mf in town." And then he comes out to El with a waterfall metaphor, but gets interrupted by Will or Jonathan (who is actually behind Will in the full picture) floating on the field in front of the radio station.
once again, this has nothing to do with anything but i had this massive brainworm abt jer starring in a crimson dawn music video where he can reprise his role as Gone But Not ForThotten Shameless Slut Era Jersey and gets to be a super hot, scary, sexc vampire king that seduces nice boys and turns them into his little vampire thralls ;)
in my head the aesthetic is very punk-rock bram stoker dracula x howl's moving castle, with strong romantic goth esqe energy, lots of catholic religious imagery sex-cept its being totally sacralized by cd.
but anyways, back to vampire king jersey, like...excuse me, jers in the dramatic high waisted riding pants and the frilly, lacey, billowy shirt with the big puff sleeves, open just enough to invite temptation but not enough to let it in...completely dripped out in the big, fancy costume jewelry and little raven rings except they're all gold & dainty, with his long, beautiful, luxuriously bouncy ginger hair falling over his shoulders like fire and lightly billowing in the breeze w/ his tunic???
not to mention the scarlet streams of fake blood dripping from his freckled lips as he smirks at you and licks them!!! HELLLOO!!!!!!!
anyways, i could talk about this for hours, but i just want y'all to know that jersey kyle played that role far too convincingly, made extremely intense, heart-racing, sexually charged eye contact with stan like the entire time and i have this very vivid image in my head of them finally getting to Kiss during this one part of the song bc it was scripted...
and its just them like aggressively making out against a huge coffin or an victorian banquet table with an antique candelabra on it and the director keeps yelling "CUT! CUT! CUT!" but they can't hear anything over the sounds they're making in each other's mouths, breathless gasps, soft shudders, desperate hands everywhere, shirts hung off collarbones, makeup smeared, expensive props fallin all over the floor
anyways, they only needed about 35 seconds of film and at the end, they ended up with 8:23 minutes of footage they didn't need...Slay.
-uncle nina, whose brain is just a super gross girl terrarium for down horrendous nasty boy brain worms
Sebastian (pink hair) and Cornella (blue hair) meet as children and realize "ah, that's the kid my parents told me to avoid because of business reasons" and immediately decide "hey, we're going to be best friends and not fight". Which... in the long run helps a lot in regards to their parents companies because now the parents have to play nice around their kids.
long history below lol
So they're just bffs throughout their youth and a couple years before their high school graduation, Sebastian spots a kid with messy hair who looks really nervous. Since it's early in the year, maybe the kid needs help finding somewhere? So he goes over to offer to help him to class buuuuut the guy flinches and runs away. So Sebastian is ready to report to Cornella at lunch but she slams her hands down on the table saying "I JUST SAW THE CUTEST GUY EVER". And Sebastian puts his concerns on hold until he realizes they're about to talk about the same guy.
The duo then decide "operation befriend shy guy" and spend like an entire school year getting Matis to warm up to them. Good! Except now they're seniors and STILL both pining for the underclassman (only a grade below) and they have an agreement to not pressure Matis into any weird situations about picking between them.
Matis and Sebastian like to draw though and so one day as Sebastian is vibing and sketching Cornella while stealing glances at Matis, he decides to put little hearts around her head. It's fine, it's not weird, it's totally cool. And Matis sees and comments he must really like her and while he DOES really like her it's .... not quite like that. So he laughs it off.
The two graduate and then start to train at their parents companies while attending college and the years go on. They still sometimes think about Matis and go "wonder how he's doing" "wonder if he's more outspoken now" "wonder if he'd remember us" because they're both very normal about the lingering crush they have. Cornella walks into the building she works at one day and is going directly to her office in hopes no one sees her since she's supposed to be off when she hears her name.
"I'm not here, you didn't see me and you REALLY didn't see me if my dad's asking" is her immediate response but the guy's like 'oh, sure, understood. i am interviewing someone who said he went to school with you' and so she looks over and is just. Floored. Yup, still nervous looking, definitely remembers them, he's doing fine, and he's apparently now working at her company. Fabulous.
She does say hello and then nervously excuses herself to go to her office before anyone else sees her but hey see you around good to see you bye haha... and calls Sebastian with "He's hot now" with no context. So he asks who and she's like "oh only the cutest boy to ever plague our brains for years" and Sebastian is just "wait wait, Matis ? ? YOU SAW HIM? WHERE? HELLO? Why was I not invited to see him? Why did you not video call so I can see him? WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S HOT" and then they scheme how to actually meet up and involve Matis. And they agree while he's definitely handsome dealing with other people, the fact he still blushes and looks nervous around them and looks to them for approval is the absolute cutest thing on the planet.
Thinking about the fact that movie Snape has a curtain fringe, or what looks like a hime cut but without the forehead part
I'm thinking that the people in charge of this decision made his hair like that for the movie so that it wouldn't obscure his face too much...
But I like how it leaves two in-universe explanations for this: either that movie!Snape gets his hair purposefully cut like that, or that he's growing out a fringe
