a successful mission-

[beautifulpersonpeach]

Hi, I know you're resting now, I wanted to share my opinion about the album. I noticed that there are five tracks in Face and they are so similar to the 5 stages of acceptance. What do you think about it? Perhaps my question is incoherent, I am writing it through a google translate.

*

Ask 2: FACCE IS SAURRR GOOODD!! 😭😭😭 WHEN IS THE REVIEW BPP?

*

Ask 3: Which remix is your fav?? I think beans and toast won this won

*

Ask 4: Bpp Imma need to go to SK and hold Jm hostage…I need him to make more music…Im going crazy Hes not my bias or my bias wrecker but hes wrecked me…I cant believe that he made my soty my aoty…I just wish the album had more songs…Like crazy is crazy good!!!!

*

Ask 5: BPP, hi!

I was hoping JM would show us a bit of his true self in his new album. And did he, huh? That MV and song reeks of homosexuality. I know it's simething ARMYs do not talk about. But... What do you think?

*

Ask 6: So did Jimin really end kpop for you BPP? Which song is you’re favourite? ☺️ He’s blown my mind at least. It’s Instant AOTY for me!!!!!! I hope Like Crazy is promoted really harf because I think it has really good potential It’s my favorite in the album ☺️

Hi Anon(s),

Before we get into it...

...I have a bone to pick with Jimin.

I don’t understand what Jimin thinks he’s doing not putting Letter on Apple Music or Spotify. Like, why does he think that’s a good idea? Does anybody know? This song is so perfect - Jimin's lush vocals harmonizing with Jung Kook's is beautiful - Letter needs to be available on as many platforms as possible. See, these are the kind of choices the tannies make that just causes me to laugh because yeah these hidden songs are 'gifts to fans' but it's also a crime against all that is good and honest in this world to keep it off channels those fans will gladly pay for? The fact Ddaeng is still stuck in Soundcloud purgatory is reason enough to kidnap Bang PD's nephew and sell him to the mafia, far as I'm concerned. The only reasons I haven't done it yet because kidnapping is illegal in my country, the Cosa Nostra require a blood oath, and Jin wouldn't like delays to his game update.

Letter is Promise all grown up, a little wiser and more developed, and I hope in every subsequent album Jimin releases for the rest of his career, that there is a version of Promise, a song that feels like Jimin - comforting, easy, warm, simple, and beautiful. Listening to it I'm so thankful Jimin exists. (Yes Jimin, I'm that fan who is simply happy you're alive - Pixid reference, so for anyone who hasn't watched it yet I've linked it here).

FACE is a solid 8.1 / 10.

(Are you streaming?)

It's a great thing Jimin has been so forthcoming in talking about the process and his reasons for making the album, the songs on it, as well as how he had key input on the choreography. I strongly suggest everyone watch his live (linked here - I should probably also mention the English subs aren't up yet, just FYI). Jimin has been very clear about what he's communicating in FACE so I won't tarry on it.

My favourite songs in order of least to most:

5) Like Crazy

4) Face Off

3) Letter

2) Alone

1) Set Me Free Pt 2

Something about each song in reverse order with the exception of Letter - for Letter, see mafia case above.

Set Me Free Pt 2

This is the best song on the album.

Alone

There are two reasons why SMF Pt 2 comes out on top over Alone though Alone in many ways is the superior song. (1) The production (including the use of autotune) in SMF Pt 2 is incredible, and (2) because Alone ends on too disturbing a note for me to dwell on, knowing that it has come from Jimin.

Everything about Alone is perfect. The way the song begins with piano, then guitar, and then drums. Jimin’s voice. That man’s voice seriously fucks with my head. It’s the way I feel every time Yoongi twitches his voice when he’s being particularly nasty. Or anytime I hear Joon’s adlibs in a song. Or what happens in my head every time Hoseok slathers his vocal inflections with grit. I don’t know if I’m making sense, but what I mean to say is that Jimin’s voice during the entire song feels like a gift. It draws you in. And then you hear what he’s singing about...

It’s heartbreaking.

I can’t abide the thought that this is something Jimin went through recently, and that I relate in a very personal way. The emotions expressed in Alone feel too raw, too scary, and too real, and while that could point to a worrying state of mind in its author, I think Jimin’s idiosyncratic bluntness and clarity of speech in Alone shows the state of someone who still reflects often, is self-aware and also resilient.

Still, it’s a sad song to hear, an even sadder one to sing, but it is one of the most powerful and beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.

(He's a problem)

Face Off

I appreciate the vision Jimin had for this song. Starting with the gag of him playing the Flea Waltz in the intro - the song the members have teased Jimin with repeatedly by saying it's the only song Jimin knows how to play on the piano - Jimin used that common (good-natured) taunt and then weaponized it in a song putting those who have crossed him in their place. It's clear by the second verse when Jimin raps that he's pushing himself to express what he means in as many ways as possible. He's challenging himself and sending a message, and that I can respect.

Anon in ask 1 who talked about the album showing the five stages of grief, I agree sort of. If we were to assign a response to each song, I'd say...

Face Off is Anger

Like Crazy - Denial (though bargaining works too)

Alone - Depression

Letter - Acceptance

(PJM2 will be madness)

Like Crazy

This is my least favourite song on the album because it never really develops, but it's also not supposed to. Jimin has said he wanted to express a dreamlike state in Like Crazy, and he does that impeccably well. The song leans into its 80s groove, heavy padded synths, something reminiscent of if Foster The People and The Weeknd made a song together. The thing about dreamlike states is that they lull your mind, and one easy way to create that effect is repetition and monotony. Think about why someone trying to hypnotize someone else tries to keep their voice steady, calm, and monotone. So, many times listening to Like Crazy I wanted the song to go somewhere, to become fuller or less predictable, but that would kill the trance so it didn't. While it's not my preference, I can appreciate Jimin's commitment to the idea of the song.

It's a great track even then. I sometimes listen to it right after Big Man, Little Dignity by Paramore.

Speaking of Like Crazy, there's been much ado about about Jimin's sexuality, queer-coding, etc in the song and so Anon in ask 5, I see where you're coming from.

Jimin is queer. I don't know what else there is to say about it or why even the mere possibility of Jimin being queer should generate the amount of fuss/discourse it does. It's possible I'm wrong of course, but like you Anon I don't think I saw Jimin even stand straight once during the entire MV. There’s not a single straight thing about this guy.

For the sticklers, perhaps the more diplomatic way of saying it is, 'many of us strongly suspect Jimin is queer.'

(What a stunner)

Jimin seems very pleased with his first album and this is my favourite thing about the last few weeks. Watching him for the last nine years, it's gratifying to see how he has fully embraced himself, his limitations, his pride, his vices, his virtues... Jimin is a strong tenacious person and in making this album, he turned that intensity inwards, towards learning to love himself. The result is five great tracks, and I'm eager to see what more he will show us in the future.

So for some reason I decided to try and make a rwby rewrite. I am very sorry if this is ass because I can not write women.

We see the moon in the sky. It's forever crescent form casted light upon a hill as a single grave was there. Soon we hear footsteps as we see figure in a white cloak walk to the grave as they held a bouquet of red and white carnations as the figure sat by the grave and placed the bouquet.

The figure grabbed the hood of the Cloak and pulled it down revealing the face of a young girl who appeared to be around 15. Her hair was dyed red as it hung in bangs. Her eyes were violet as they were focused on the headstone.

Summer rose xiao-long. Born in 1940 A.G., died in 1980 A.G. gone but not forgotten. The girl took a deep breath before clearing her throat. "Hey momma. Dads doing well. I know your probably worrying about him. But he's doing good. Yangs now 16 so she'll be going for beacon. Wish I could go with her but hey.. rules are rules." The girl spoke as she smiled. The air was almost bitter sweet. The girl stood up and put the hood over her head. She stared at the grave stone before she turned and began walking. "Happy mother's day momma... Happy mother's day." The girl spoke as soon she arrived at a small lodge as the light a lantern illuminated the surrounding.

The chirping of birds, leaves being brushed against the soft window, and the laughing coming from the lodge. The girl walked to the door and opened it as she saw a older girl harfing down stack after stack of waffles. There was a man sitting there watching as he sighed. "Yang your gonna choke on your waffles. Eat slow and chew. Or do you need to move to eating with a shovel?" The man questioned as he chuckled. The girl named yang had her blonde hair free as a scrunchie laid on the table as a few strands of old almost invisible blonde hairs were stuck on it. Yangs eyes were violet as well as hunger was ablaze in her eyes. She kept harfing before stopping and swallowing. A few seconds go by before we hear a loud BELCH emerge from yang before she started laughing as the man groaned. "I swear you act more like me than your mother. " The man said as he robbed the bridge of his nose.

"Ha.. sorry pops.. trainings just been getting me hungry. Now next plate please " yang said as she pointed to the two empty plate. Her father sighed before the red haired girl clears her throat. Yang and her father look at the girl. "Oh heya rubes didn't see ya there" yang spoke as she smiled at the girl. "What you need Ruby?" Her father asked as Ruby sighed softly. "Um well I was wondering if I could head out to shop for Abit. The stores aren't packed usually. So um.. can I go dad?" Ruby ask her father as he thought about it. He stroked his chin before looking at Ruby and nodding.

"There's 200 liyen. In my wallet. Grab it and have a little fun dear" their father spoke as he smiled at Ruby. Ruby's face lit up as she shot at her dad and hugged him "thank you dad! Your the best!" Ruby said as her father hugged back before ruby bolted to her father's bedroom and grabbed 200 liyen from it before heading back out leaving her father and sister sitting at the table.

"So... Hows the whole negotiation going pops?" Yang asked as she looked at her father intently. He groaned as he rested his head on his hand. "Oz still saying no.. sorry yang." The man spoke as yang chuckled before shrugging. "Eh it's fine. Not like it's anything huge." Yang spoke.

We cut to ruby running across the side walk as she bumped into people and quickly apologizing. Eventually ruby stopped her running as she started at a small green building as she stared through the window and saw lots of shiny, pointy, deadly WEAPONS. Ruby ran in as she looked around. "So many cool weapons!" She said as she kept looking around until she saw it. A ornate scythe. It had a moon pattern all across the handle.

As Ruby was taking In the magnificence of the scythe we hear the bell on the door ring as a man with orange hair wearing a white vest with black dress pants entered. He held onto a cane. He had a fedora in his hand as he place it on his chest. "I'm going to be polite about this. This is a robbery. I want all the dust crystals you have. Now." The strange man said calmly as the cashier seem to not take him seriously. The cashier stuck out his hand.

"You want the dust. Hand over the liyen." The cashier said bluntly. The man glared at the cashier before sighing he grabbed his can and unsheathed a hidden blade and pointed it at the cashier.

"I will not ask again. Give me dust crystals." The man spoke in Low tone as the cashier raised his hands as his eyes were wide. "W-woah man. C-calm down. Don't pull out a sword. Ill give you your dust crystals. J-just please put down the sword." The cashier quivered as the smell of piss immediately filled the store as the cashier had soiled himself. "Ok that's disgusting. Just grab all the dust crystals and bring them out. Otherwise there's gonna be more liquids than piss." The man spoke as we go back to ruby still looking at the scythe before the stench entered her nostrils as she gagged and turned to see the man pointing his sword at the cashier as he was bringing out dust crystals.

Ruby looked at the scythe as a grin appeared on her face. She grabbed the scythe as she cleared her throat as the man groaned and looked at Ruby still pointing his sword at the cashier. "What do you want twerp? Aren't you supposed to be sucking your thumb or something?" The man dismissed her and turns back to the cashier as he placed 7 dust crystals. "Is that all?" He asked as the cashier nodded. The man smiled as he lowered his sword and sheathed it and grabbed the crystal before the blade of the scythe was right infront of his throat. "Ah ah. One wrong move and you get made.... Shit uh what's a good quip for this?" Ruby asked herself as the Man glared at her. "You think because you have a scythe I'll quiver in fear? Youngling you are FAR mistaken." The man said as he turned and kick the scythe out of ruby's hand before running out with the crystals. Ruby groaned in pain as she got up and grabbed the scythe. "Really sorry, I'll pay later but I gotta use this. Thanks bye!" Ruby ran out and saw the man getting In a van as it's engine roared to life as it zoomed off. "Shit! Can't let them get away" ruby said to herself as she began chasing after them but they were already getting ahead as we see the man sitting in the van as he pulled out one the crystals. "Enhancement acquired. You happy?" The man asked as we see the silhouette of the driver was that of a woman as a smile appeared on her face. "Good boy torchwick. Your pay will be soon-" the driver said as suddenly she swerve to a stop as the man shook his head to see who it was. We then see a woman who appeared to be in her 40's reading a book as she had an outstretched hand. She wore white sweater and black sweats. She had a pair of glasses as she adjusted them. Her hair was a faded blonde. "You caught me while I was in my pajamas... How disappointing" the woman spoke. The man went wide eyed. "A huntress?! Who the fuck sends a huntress to vale?!" The man shouted as he kicked open the door and ran away before he faced a familiar scythe as Ruby pointed it at him as she panted. "I... Ran.... Half a mile... Carrying this scythe.... Your in for a world of hurt." Ruby said as the man gulped nervously.

We cut to the man tied up as the huntress was reading a file. "Roman torchwick. Your from Mistral. Strange. What's a petty crook doing stealing dust." The huntress spoke as the man named Roman grumbled lowly. The huntress closed the file and sighed before turning to ruby who had a huge smile as her eyes sparkled. "Your Glynda! Glynda goodwitch! You killed tons of Grimm! Specifically 1,009-" ruby spoke before Glynda slapped ruby across the face. Glynda groaned "what on remnant were you doing?! A civilian like you shouldn't be in possession of weapons. Much less try and fight criminals! Your gonna be paying a mighty penalty!" Glynda scolded ruby as she looked down holding her cheek.

"I wanted to help" ruby said as Glynda face palmed as she grabbed ruby by the ear and began dragging her to the authorities. But then there was a tapping as Glynda turned and saw a man leaning on a wall looking at her. His eyes half Open as he had a cane also supporting him. His hair was grey yet he seemed young. Most likely 20. He wore a dark green suit as he proceeded to stand straight.

"Glynda. Care to have a word. And bring the subject of the topic" he said calmly as he pointed at Ruby as Glynda stared at the man before groaning and dragging her to him. As Ruby proceeded to say "ow" the longer Glynda tugged at Ruby's ear

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK! That took a while! I'm so glad I managed to get this done.

To all the newbies. I'm glitch. I'm a fledgling writer obviously. And for some reason I decided to write this. And I'll be honest. I pray this won't be a fucking bitch to do.

I hope you all enjoy this. And very sorry this is so brief.
