Truly here for the openly tender masculinity of Käärijä and his friends. 💚

"Jimin and Jungkook's casualness isn't anything out of the ordinary but is still surprising"

'지민 (Jimin) Choreography Practice Sketch' write-up ✍️

Among Jimin's gruesome practice sessions and strict work ethics leading up to Face promotions, we were given a peak into a few moments out of Jungkook's visit on day 2.

What struck me (and even k-armys) is that they didn't even bother to pretend to be formal in front of the staff and camera + crew, which just goes to show how long gone are their age barriers in communication and behavior. Once again I know we are all well aware of this development between them, however it is still a bit surprising seeing that happen in front of strangers- especially at their workplace and during work, which is a formal setting. The significance of this may appear minimal to you but in Korean culture, the way you talk to someone but also what you discuss and how you phrase it is highly influenced by the age hierarchy. Allowing someone speak to you informally (even in the public or formal settings) means they now have the same rank as you and their word is thus referred to/significant on the same level as yours and they can express things way more directly. In a highly hierarchical culture with a strong respect for authority (or anyone above) this presents a disruption in an embedded way of thought and behavior that is in the minds of all Koreans from the very early age. 반말 (banmal) of course does happen among many people even those who are not 친구 (friends- meaning people born in the same year) but it is not something that is just expected automatically and in any social setting. (I am excluding family ties here)

Thus, what the international audience may see and perceive only reading the translated subs:

"Ah cool, Jungkook came and supported Jimin"

What the Korean audience (or anyone with just a little knowledge of the language and culture) sees and perceives:

"Oh wow they are speaking informally so naturally to each other, they seem so close"

JK: "I'll cheer for/ support (you)"

(*said in a form that implies promise to someone for the future, informal tone)

JM: "Come again"

(*said as an informal command or request)

Other fav moments:

JK: "Noo, do it once (for me)!"

(*주다 on its own means to give, gift someone something; in combination with other verbs like 하다 (to do) it implies doing something for someone; the most accurate but weird way in English to translate would be: "give a doing" Here Jungkook commands/requests Jimin to do the dance for him in an informal tone which sounds veeery casual, especially considering the dancers nearby 🫣)

JK: "It's awesome/ You're awesome"

(*Again informal tone, the pronouns are not stated therefore both you/it could be inserted)

JK: "Will be cheering (for you), myself"

(Informal tone, said in a form that implies promise to someone for the future + Jungkook added 내가 at the end of the sentence to emphasize he personally will be cheering/supporting Jimin on. Reminder- Korean sentences don't need pronouns, therefore you can tell he used it for added emphasis)

All in all, Jungkook didn't use the formal level a single time besides when he was leaving and told Jimin + everyone else in the room to "take care" (수고하세요).

Finally, to anyone trying to use Jungkook's informal "nope" to Jimin's direct requests to get his ass over there more frequently probably didn't catch just how """seriously""" both of them were taking that convo, as you can see from Jungkook's smirk hidden under the mask ㅋㅋ

Also just how long were they teasing and saying bye to each other if there is a cut and suddenly Jungkook is standing on the other side, still saying bye and holding hands with Jimin? 😆

This short edit of Jungkook's appearance tells a lot about their dynamic and reassures everyone that can perceive the tone of their closeness. I'm glad we could see a little bit of it in this video!

The great conjunction

As many might know, the rare conjunction between jupiter and saturn, aka the great conjunction, will happen again on the winter solstice on December 21st at about 6:20 pm GMT. Even though it’s still a few days away, the effects are already being felt by many. Especially natives with capricorn placements between 27’00° and 30’00° (and cardinal placements at these degrees) and aquarius placements between 00’00°- 03’00° (and fixed placements at these degrees), but the effects will vary depending in what house of the chart is falls.

Since the conjunction will happen at 00’29° of aquarius, this conjunction is all about new beginnings and manifestation, also because this conjunction occurred 3 times this year (because of retrogrades), where this one on the 21st of December is the last. In general, the next 20 years (until the conjunction happens again) will be about new beginnings.

The great conjunction in the houses

(if you’re not sure where it falls in your chart, look at in which house 00° of aquarius falls, or go to astro.com —> horoscopes —> extended chart selection —> fill in your natal info —> choose ‘natal charts and transits’ by chart type (under sections) —> and then just click on ‘click here to show the chart’, the transits are the green ones at the outer ring! you can also always reach out to me)

1st house:

You’re ready for refreshment, and you’ll definitely need it too. After all this time of saturn and jupiter hanging out in your first, making you question your soul purpose and feeling insecure, there will be a fresh start! New ideas will come to you, about how you think of yourself and your life, these ideas are a great chance to fulfil your dreams. You’ll develop more confidence in what you want and how you look.

2nd house:

With saturn and jupiter in your 2nd house, you have been through possessive episodes past few months. But now you will learn what has been truly important to you this life. You’ve also created big goals, which are now ready to achieve, for example, you finally might get your dream job, or get an upgrade in your current one. Your moral view on society might also change, or already have been changing this year.

3rd house:

This year you have learned how to protect yourself. Now that you know better how to block out negativity, your friendships/relations with siblings and communication skill will grow, you’ve learned, or will learn, how to say no to things that will only bring negativity. Besides this, your thought process will also change, in a good way. It might all be a bit scary a first, but it’s very important for your personal growth to let these changes be.

4th house:

The great conjunction in your root house will give you the opportunity to ground yourself form the world, but that also comes with challenges, even though they will change things for the better. You’ll review and relive your past and childhood again, which can be a hard experience, but also maybe a bit nostalgic. Bad habits will reduce, if your open to this fresh start. Inner peace will come, even after hard or hectic times (like this pandemic).

5th house:

In this romantic and creative house, the great conjunction will help you know what you seek in relations, and also give future and current relations a fresh and new beginning. This will also count for your creativity. This year you might have had trouble expressing yourself, but with this conjunction that will all be over. Or if you’re not a creative person normally, this transit will give you the opportunity to express yourself.

6th house:

This conjunction is a wake-up call for better self-care. Ignoring you physical and mental being is no longer an option. Due to all the things that were going on this year, you’ve forgot frequently to take care of yourself or ask for help. Jupiter will make sure this self-care will turn out positive, while saturn makes sure your life will run efficiently. Take a small step backwards, to come back later with new power.

7th house:

This conjunction will be great for your love life. You have learned a lot about the things you seek for, and these new insights will be projected into new relations, both platonic and romantic. Have fun with these new adventures, but be cautious to not forgot yourself in these relationships too. Both you and your partner or friend are important for the dynamic.

8th house:

With the conjunction falling in your 8th house, it’s a great moment to rethink about this past year, and how you’ve changed. What changes were positive and do you want to be continued, which ones were negative and which are already done changing? Here too will the conjunction bring new psychological insights and new thinking patterns. Old taboo’s will be discussed and you view on them might change too.

9th house:

New intellectual journeys have been there this past year, but will expand even more with this conjunction. Not only intellectual journeys will happen, but also, if the pandemic lets you, real ones. You might move and start somewhere new and fresh, or go on an adventurous trip. Studying and sharing new things will also be a theme for this conjunction. All these mental and physical journeys together might be a highlight of your life at this moment.

10th house:

Besides that the great conjunction in your 10th house will be very good for your career and reputation, it will also make you look back at your relations with men this year, since the 10th house is also about your father and men in general. Jupiter will refresh your view and perspective on your past experiences with men and saturn will bring wisdom and maturity. Explore your career and power, but make sure you’ve learned about those relations with men too.

11th house:

With the great conjunction falling in this house, it will bring a refreshment for your ideals and wishes. Partnerships and your part in groups will grow and improve too. A new dream might form, both live and/or virtually (or on social media). New morals and ideas will come to you too with this transit. This conjunction also wants you to be grateful for the people around you.

12th house:

Time to relax and release if the great conjunction falls in your 12th house. A spiritual awakening might come, or new spiritual insights and ideas will form. The only thing to look out for is that you don't go unconscious. It's also a great time to look back at your past, what things have helped you in difficult times, and which things do you not want to be repeated? This conjunction will make you learn lessons in a soft way.

JiKook in 2008** BTS

Recently I saw an analysis on youtube that tried to make the case that jikook were flirting in this video, and while I harbor no doubts in my mind that they are romantically involved, that reading of this particular situation is incorrect. I’m not going to call out the maker of the analysis directly, but it’s been weighing on my mind because I’ve seen how these kinds of incorrect body language readings can lead to a lot of misunderstandings.

I’d like to attempt to explain here what the correct reading is, and how such an off base reading could happen in the first place.

Also note that the timing of the English subtitles is ahead by around 9-12 seconds on average, so if I think something being said is relevant then I’ll try to clarify exactly when it happens.

Let’s begin…

CHAPTER 2 - the Hermit 

Jimin reached out to the handle and carefully creaked the door open. No one came into the view so he pushed it a little further. That’s when he spotted something lying on the porch, right beside the chair and table.

Or rather, someone.
