something about carmy's journey in s4 realizing he's lost his passion for cooking (or that he loved cooking for all the wrong reasons), and starting to heal what he kept suppressed all those years, painfully reminds me of some lyrics by yoongi (agust d).

I don't have a long essay to write on it, just read the lyrics and let them speak to you.

Giving up is also an act of courage.

May your trials end in full bloom.

posting these ahead of the new godspeed update for no reason (i need a link to upload the pics on ao3)

Normalize leaving unhinged comments on ao3 fics you like. I'm tired of being the only one brave enough to write "I am chewing on this fic" in the comment section. Be weird. Authors will love you for it

[maeumin]

Hello loves! I hope you are having a wonderful start to the week😊

Today's fic rec is the epitome of warmth. I've been missing jikook lately to no bounds and in more ways than one, this story felt like a warm hug. It's so soft and gentle and beautiful. Thank you @maeumin you are incredible!! Your writing is impeccable🥹🤍 thank you for this story🤍

Please do read tags and give this fic all the love🤍

anyways, here's a snippet of what i've been writing (and won't ever publish, probably.)

“Do you think the omakase restaurant will be good?” Jeongguk’s question breaks the quietness in the apartment. The murmur of the drama that plays on the TV is not loud enough for them to pretend they’re watching.  Jimin hums, eyes fixed on the wall in front of them. Jeongguk pushes his tongue against his cheek.  “Hyung.” He tugs at his hand, pulling their bodies closer together. “You’re not paying attention to me.” Jimin turns his head to face him, slowly blinking his way back into the real world. His features soften when their eyes meet, and Jeongguk softens his grip on him. He hates being rough with Jimin, even by accident.  “Namjoon-hyung asked me about you today.” “Oh.” That’s not the answer Jeongguk was expecting.

there's a small line in canon compliant fics that i'm always careful about crossing, but the solo era/enlistment era has left so many questions lingering that i can't help but write and hope to fill the empty spaces. something about the ambiguity that always surrounds jikook is so intriguing to me. jimin will have jungkook singing the most intimate, beautiful lines on a hidden track and never mention why or acknowledge it happened. he'll fly all the way to new york to cheer for his dongsaeng but neither of them will talk about it, as if it weren't the same scenario as hobipalloza or showing up to tae's fanmeeting. you know what i mean?

they don't owe us explanations, nor their time. i just wonder a lot. notice the small cracks to their semblance and the protective layer they've drapped over their relationship, whatever the nature of it is. it's something that's only theirs, and perhaps its unattainability is what makes it so alluring.

before you write: THINK!

is it Tender?

is it Homoerotic?

is it Implicitly homosexual?

is it Noticeably repressed?

is it Kind of gay?

[maeumin]

JIMIN — LIKE CRAZY (2023.03.24)

[maeumin]

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.

CHAPTER 2: PASSEIG DE GRÀCIA

✮ F1 driver JK, idol JM.

Summary:

After years of watching from the sidelines, history now has its eyes on Jeon Jeongguk, Ferrari’s top contender for the 2024 World Championship. Jeongguk has sacrificed so much of his personal life to get what he wants, and with glory being so close he can almost taste it, he can’t afford any distractions. Enter Park Jimin, Korea’s sweetheart and Ferrari’s new brand ambassador, whose magnetic personality promises the Golden Boy a season he’ll never forget.

Hi! I hope you’re doing well!

There’s one jkk moment that I keep thinking about because, I feel like we’ve never really gotten a solid translation on it:

https://www.tumblr.com/jimins-bootae/185841231762

It’s the infamous flop palm pushing game where seokjin interrupts them to ask ‘are you two together/a couple?’

I just wanted to clarify what the exact thing that seokjin said to them was. Did he explicitly ask ‘are you two a couple?’ which is pretty straightforward or, does he say ‘are you two together?’

I’m not sure if ‘being together’ has the same romantic connotations in Korean as it does in English. I interpreted it as him asking ‘are you guys together (on the same team)?, almost as if he was commenting ‘you’re not on the same team so, why are you acting all buddy-buddy?’

But, if the comment did mean that and it really wasn’t that deep, why did they have that crazy, bashful reaction🙃?

Ofc ‘are you a couple?’ Is pretty criminalising. It seems out of the blue to point that out if there wasn’t some sort of innuendo behind it.

Thank you for the work that you do for us in the tumblr community!

Hello!! I love this question because this is hands-down one of my favorite jikook clips of all time.

I understand your question, but the reason why you feel like there's no 'solid translation' is because, well, there's no need for further explanation. Seokjin said, word by word, 'are you two dating?'

Let's break the sentence down: 둘이 사귀세요?

둘 (/dul/): you two (+ particle 이, which indicates the subject)

사귀세요: the purple part is the verb 사귀다. The green part indicates that Seokjin was asking the question in a very formal tone.

(Interrupting to say I didn't even have to look up Seokjin's exact words because this sentence is engraved into my BRAIN)

You can use 사귀다 in two situations:

when talking about meeting new friends, as in becoming friends with someone. 새로운 친구를 사귀다 -> meet new friends.

When talking about dating and romantic relationships. Let's take a look at a couple of example phrases from my fav dictionary (es-kor):

a) 그 두 사람이 사귀기 시작한지 벌써 삼 년이 지났다. It's already been three years since those two started dating.

b) 가: 너 소개팅 안 할래? / 나: 나 지금 사귀는 사람 있어. A: aren't you going to try blind dating? B: I'm already seeing someone.

I think it's pretty obvious what Seokjin meant with that question. Jikook were acting like blushing high-schoolers, giggling as they stared into each other's eyes. I think a lot of us- including jinnie- saw that behavior and went 'wtf' LMAOO

That's why Jikook got so shy after his question!! Because he was clocking them for acting like a couple in their honeymoon phase. He was asking the million-dollar question tbh because well.

Summary:

Car accident, the doctor had said. He’d been incredibly lucky, escaping with just a few broken ribs and a nasty bump to the head. And then she'd frowned, because Jungkook got the date wrong. Very wrong, as it turns out. Or: Jungkook wakes up without his memories but with a boyfriend, and it's the last person he would have ever, ever chosen.
