#I'm gonna just mute the tag

NGL, Desire/Unity emerging as what seems to be a "normal", fluffy pairing is weird to me, considering the non-con nature in canon. Like, it's whatever, ship what you want, I just hope that the people writing consensual AU's are aware that the consent is part of the AU, not a feature of canon. Basically, idgaf but also if you think there's no consent issues in the canon I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.

[asphodeldreams]

it's actually insane to me how many rvb fans have only gotten into the show in the past like 2 years. looking at the survey results so far is breaking my brain i think because 2022-2024 is in the top three for that question currently. like in the time between zero/family shatters and restoration there was practically NOTHING happening with the series what do you mean this many people STARTED watching it then?? also i see so many people on my dash who are like "watching for the first time i'm on season 6 teehee" HELLO?? should-should i tag for spoilers on my rvb posts??

Don’t you think y’all are grasping at straws with this whole Taennie thing? Y’all are literally nitpicking and dissecting the whole thing to look for inconsistencies so you can continue to deny the obvious.

Tae and Jennie are members of the biggest boy band in the world and the biggest girl band in the world, they don’t need to do a pap walk to make waves. I think that one thing y’all are completely forgetting is that these are kpop idols not western stars. Western stars are the ones who make waves with dating rumors while for kpop idols that is literally career suicide because of the parasocial relationships fans have with them which in a way they encourage by hiding their dating lives so they don’t upset fans and make fans to stop supporting them. Y’all are viewing tae and jennie from a western lens and acting like they are western stars while they are not.

Look at all the hate Tae and Jennie got after that pap walk. What is fun about any of that or how beneficial is any of that to them? Jennie didn’t need tae to make waves, the gils have over 80 million followers on IG. Tae didn’t need Jennie to make waves either he has over 60 million followers on IG so what was the point of a pap walk? Whom did that pap walk benefit? Even if you think it benefitted Jennie what did Tae get out if it? And if you think he got nothing out of it then why did he agree to do it? If you think he did it to have freedom in his relawoty Jungkook then why was he the one who had to do the walk with Jennie? Why not Jk? Tae and jennie lost some fans after that walk, they both got an insane amount of hate because of that walk, so what was the reason?

Katarina from Aespa literally had to end her relationship and apologize to fans and y’all really think any kpop idol would be dumb enough to fake a pap walk to make waves, I mean come on.

Let’s say the pap walk was fake. Was the accidental follow fake? You can say whatever you want about gurumi but the truth is some of those photos they posted back in may of 2022 were not fake especially those ones in Jeju. Take one good look at Tae’s toes and even the scare on his leg. How do you fake toes? How did gurumi know to put tae and Jennie in clothes we had never seen them in before and only saw them in months after the leak? If those photos were fake then why on earth didn’t they both deny them? Instead YG put out a statement threatening legal action on the person who invaded Jennie’s privacy meaning that the photos were real. Bighit never made a statement and neither did tae but look at how fast he denied dating Joanna and got mad but it was crickets with Jennie. How do you explain their close friends circle? How do you explain Jennie’s manager following Tae or the mutual friends they have? You could say they are idols and have mutual friends but you know it is much deeper than that. How do you explain Tae constantly glancing at Jennie at the Harry styles concert on Seoul? It wasn’t once or twice but many times. How do you explain him posting a picture of himself in jennie’s neighborhood right after the Harry styles concert in seoul? Is that a coincidence too? How do you explain us seeing some artwork from gurumi’s pics from tae’s house that we had never seen before and only saw after those leaked pics?

Tae and Jennie in Paris probably took a walk at night not thinking that anyone would recognize them. I don’t think they were planning to soft launch their relationship. They probably took walk and as fate would have it, they got photographed and maybe they stayed quiet about it because they wanted to do things by their own terms and were not ready to go all out yet so they left fans guessing besides isn’t that textbook Tae?

Listen, Tae and jennnie dated and they are probably broken up now. I say probably because it isn’t uncommon for kpop idols to lie about breaking up just to get fans out of their hair. So they are probably broken up now or maybe they broke up because Tae was about to enlist. Couples in korea usually break up when the men are about to enlist. There are so many things which point to the fact that the walk wasn’t media play and that taennie was real. I don’t think taekookers would have been cracking their brains this much if even 1/4 of these had happened to another idol as you would have just concluded that they probably dated but seeing as y’all really want to believe that taekook is real, you completely throw logic out the window.

Ok answer me this. Let’s say the pap walk was media play as you said. How do you explain the pictures from Jeju? Are those not Tae’s exact same toes? What editing or photoshop software is that great at replicating toes or fingers? Didn’t tae wear those exact same shorts months after the leak? How do you explain that? How do you explain him posting a photo in Jennie’s neighborhood after the Harry Styles concert? So are we going to pretend like Seo Joon being so friendly and cozy with Jennie and even taking videos of her so fondly while she performed wasn’t because of Tae?

All this back and forth won’t change reality and the earlier some of us realize that the better. Denying reality just because of a romantic relationship you created in your mind is actually kinda mental if you ask me because what do you mean you are fighting tooth and nail to deny something which is more probable just because of a romantic relationship you wish existed or because of something you have completely made up in ur head? If taekook isn’t resl it isn’t real and no matter how much you try to twist reality, truth still remains truth.

Hi anon!

Don’t you think y’all are grasping at straws with this whole Taennie thing? Y’all are literally nitpicking and dissecting the whole thing to look for inconsistencies so you can continue to deny the obvious.

I'm not nitpicking at all. Nor am I fighting tooth and nail here. I'm actually quite relaxed about the whole thing. I know a pr stunt when I see one. Some might want to get to the bottom of things, it's kinda what army always does, right? Obviously Taennie is something that bothers some, and creates insecurity for others.. personally I'm still feeling the same about it as I've always done.

Tae and Jennie are members of the biggest boy band in the world and the biggest girl band in the world, they don’t need to do a pap walk to make waves.

So the biggest stars don't need to do pr? What about the Kardashians and basically every move they make? What about Taylor Swift? What about artists disapearing for months (yes, huge artists) only for them to pop up before releasing an album or movie? Jennie herself might be able to make waves in her fandom, but outside that hose waves have definite limits. This stunt with Tae got her way outside of her own fandom's reach. It's about growth, it's about conquering new territory, it's about staying at the top.. not getting there and relaxing into it.

I think that one thing y’all are completely forgetting is that these are kpop idols not western stars.

Kpop has been trying to move into the western market (and succeding) for years.. it's an odd assumption to think they will not also adapt some of the western strategies.

Western stars are the ones who make waves with dating rumors while for kpop idols that is literally career suicide because of the parasocial relationships fans have with them which in a way they encourage by hiding their dating lives so they don’t upset fans and make fans to stop supporting them.

An odd thing to say when Jennie herself is very clearly an example of this not being true. Whether you see her relationships with G-dragon and Kai as mediaplay or real.. she has either proven that mediaplay exists the way I think it does.. or that it is not career suicide to confirm a relationship. Tae being Tae does make it more delicate I believe. Blinks and Army do not generally get along. BTS members especcially are seen as SK's property. But.. if the need to stay hidden is so strong.. they would not have spent their three hours together publicly in a restaurant and on the streets of Paris at a very touristy spot. Their teams would have turned everyone around them away, or driven them off at the sight of fans and bystanders. You can literally see Tae look at the camera. Their teams will have extensive training and experience on how to spot suspicious people. It is naive to think they were this careless if they are concerned about being discovered.

Why not Jk? I strongly believe Jk would not be able to pull this off. I also think Tae would rather it be him than Jk. Everything with Gurumi also already provided them with a basis to go along with. It was basically ready.. set.. go.

Tae and jennie lost some fans after that walk, they both got an insane amount of hate because of that walk, so what was the reason?

Publicity. Heaps of publicity. Every article written about Tae and Jennie had her series in it and every article about Jennie's series mentioned her and Tae. It was a prooffail plan to maximize attention. Everyone was paying attention on her and trying to figure out if it was actually them for weeks... months even.. for crying out loud.. we are still talking about it apparently.

Was the accidental follow fake? No. Accidents happen. Tae and Jennie can even be friends and actually follow each other on their private accounts. Why does that have to be something romantic?

You can say whatever you want about gurumi but the truth is some of those photos they posted back in may of 2022 were not fake especially those ones in Jeju. Take one good look at Tae’s toes and even the scare on his leg. How do you fake toes? (....) Ok answer me this. Let’s say the pap walk was media play as you said. How do you explain the pictures from Jeju? Are those not Tae’s exact same toes? What editing or photoshop software is that great at replicating toes or fingers?

Please go and find a youtube video explaining what photoshop is. You are clearly unaware. This toe creating magic you speak of does indeed not exist... but I think you fail to realize how photoshop actually works. Come back after you have updated your knowledge (wait what.. no, don't come back.. just update your knowledge). Also.. feel free to go through my gurumi tag. Gurumi themselves admitted to being an editor. I mean, if you want to trust and anonymous account on the internet who puts out edited pics and whom themselves admits to being an editor and who on top of all of that is clearly out to bait both fandom and companies... then go ahead. I teach my kid not to do shit like that.

How do you explain Tae constantly glancing at Jennie at the Harry styles concert on Seoul? It wasn’t once or twice but many times.

How do you explain him posting a picture of himself in jennie’s neighborhood right after the Harry styles concert in seoul?

You know who lives there also and whom Tae actually left at the same time as....

So they are probably broken up now or maybe they broke up because Tae was about to enlist. Couples in korea usually break up when the men are about to enlist.

Peak romance apparently.

Tae and Jennie in Paris probably took a walk at night not thinking that anyone would recognize them. I don’t think they were planning to soft launch their relationship. They probably took walk and as fate would have it, they got photographed and maybe they stayed quiet about it because they wanted to do things by their own terms and were not ready to go all out yet so they left fans guessing besides isn’t that textbook Tae?

Good grief... isn't that textbook Tae?? What is that supposed to mean anon?

I don’t think taekookers would have been cracking their brains this much if even 1/4 of these had happened to another idol as you would have just concluded that they probably dated but seeing as y’all really want to believe that taekook is real, you completely throw logic out the window.

Partly true actually. We probably wouldn't think twice about other celebs (well, actually I do at times). We have reason to doubt this though.. the plus years of reasons. We don't think Tae and Jk are probably/possibly together because of nothing. We have moment upon moment upon moment that makes us believe that. So combined with the knowledge that papwalks and media play happens.. we do have reason to think question what we see here. We don't throw away logic. The mere existence of media play makes this a logical conclusion.

love you guys so much but I wish I could make it illegal to discuss twitter drama on here. because every time I hear anything about that wretched website it pisses me off

[aroaceyunarukami]

my favourite Naoto headcanon is that they are bigender. this is because I am massively projecting. but genuinely, on my first playthrough of p4, I got around to their social link in mid November, scrambling to finish anything I started, and I liked it. I loved helping them with their own little mystery as a distraction of what was going on at the time in game.

and then I got to their rank 7.

now, I had named the protagonist after myself, but I mostly treated him as his own character, but he just had my name instead. this made one of the lines in Naoto's rank 7 hit a little harder.

“The need to change... And the desire to remain the same...

They’re mixed together...

...And it scares me.”

...

“[Ross]-san... Have you ever felt like that before?”

I had to take a small break to regain my composure. yes, I have absolutely felt that way before. to the point where it hurts.

that was my exact thought process when I was questioning if I would be happier as a trans man or not.

"transmasc" didn't feel entirely right for me, but I knew being a man made me happy. just a year before my interest in p4 was even a thing, I had discovered the bigender label, and I was over the moon.

in that moment, it felt like Naoto was speaking directly to me, relating to me even, and not just at a character I had named after myself.

it made me feel seen. it made me feel like I wasn't weird for once. I loved it. I love being bigender. I love Naoto.

I'm gonna wind up learning CSS entirely against my will because my fucking 'send this shit to the shadow realm I don't want it' skin is NOT blocking a thing I need to kill

my kingdom for a native site blocklist that did not involve learning to code I am too stupid for this

hc that stringbean purrs when luz is upset and wraps around her neck like a scarf to comfort her (think hooty in eotw!)

WAIT this is so cute omg 😭

tbh I do imagine that Luz still struggles with bouts of depression post-canon? I think Thanks To Them/For The Future was definitely the lowest low she's ever gonna hit but it's gonna take a long time before everything is unpacked for her. It's also a little bit of projection as someone who's struggled a bit with bouts of depression and gets scared each time that it won't end. The idea of stringbean being a kind of support animal to Luz when she's in a bad way, much like how flapjack once was to hunter, is really endearing to me (also, noceda siblings parallels <3). Although she might be a bit small to be a scarf (stringbean is. So tiny and it kills me) but maybe she could be a cool bracelet? Something Luz could wear covertly in the human realm 👀

Benefits of a snake shifter palismen is that stringbean can probably be whatever animal Luz in the mood to see rn (with stringbeans own wants taken into consideration, she's her own being after all). I like to imagine that Luz and Hunter(Gus too probably) would go down national geographic weird-ass animal facts rabbit holes and end up asking stringbean if she could turn into whatever weird animal has taken their fancy. Cue Luz losing it over like. cuttlefish stringbean

Kitty stringbean rains supreme to me though. Both her and ghost just resting their widdle heads on Luz's lap and purring and Luz (currently cocooned in depression blankets and being kept company by king and Amity) just bursts into tears. Just hysterical sobbing abt creatures. She's so me fr

"I'll be your mirror" by Velvet Underground in Crowley's playlist -> I'm dead, discorporated, gone, reduced to a million of weeping atoms I'm-

Also the idea of Crowley diving into his Bentley after the "naked man friend" moment and just blasting Queen's "I'm in love with my car" to """get back""" at Azira while screaming inside (&outside) <- Real.

[black-salt-cage]

imagine having a stim acc just to dedicate your time on it to bitching about *gasps* victims of abuse having coping mechanisms that makes YOU personally uncomfortable and then have to seek validation from your equally chronically online followers that your ableism is SO in the right and SO pure and SO christian and SO righteous and you’d make all the lil catholics so proud with your hatred over non-missionary sex that’s SOOOO slay pussy pops 

anyway because I know you like to ride the dicks of all non-anti stim blogs, ESPECIALLY sexy proshippers like myself, here’s a message for ya: if you notice that I’m posting a lot of gifsets from videos you’ve giffed before then know it’s intentional. I’m regiffing your shit intentionally. so proshippers can enjoy some content and your flop ass account can sink into the depths of mud from whence you came
