#SHOUT OUT TO YOU GUYS I LOVE ADORE AND APPRECIATE YOUR WORK SM YOURE ALL SO TALENTED

[meli-meliai]

Chris I know that you’ve shown me this before and I have already expressed my gratitude in my usual way (analysis that consists of nothing but enthusiatic compliments) but OH MY GOD I HAVE TO SAY IT AGAIN????

The way you draw them both is absolutely PERFECT, like a Biblical Renaissance painting of a mother and a son but with so much MOVEMENT, so much LIFE to it!! Eve here looks so stunning and motherly (and her ARMS... damn, muscular Eve was never smth I thought that I needed until now GIVE ME A HUG PLS EVE PLS) And SETH here looks so youthful, joyous and CAREFREE that it make me nearly want to tear up just remembering what’s going to happen to him in the future. I am in LOVE with the way that you draw humans (HOW DID YOU DO THE PROPORTIONS AND THE H A N D S-) and the way you use color and shading on them!! Overall, this is 100/10, absolutely gorgeous, and I’m so happy that you are working on this AU with me!!! I am going to stare at this now <3

Mother's embrace

[cheshiretears]

I was lurking on r/kpopthoughts but I refuse to get a reddit account and wouldn't be able to post on there for a while because of the posting rules so here's a shout into the void based on a question I saw there

Who are your favorite idol vocalists?

My new all-time favorite vocalist is Pentagon's Jinho. I saw several people mention Hui but not a single person mentioned Jinho?!?!

You know what, forget it, I'll make a second post about everyone else, this is now a PTG Jinho appreciation post.

He was the first member to catch my eye. I got into kpop around the time Shine came out, so of course I knew it, but it wasn't until Road to Kingdom that I took notice of Pentagon. And Jinho was the one I noticed first, because of his voice and his cute face (how is he the eldest?!) and because he made me cry, and because, as he said himself, he still nailed his notes in Shine/Spring Snow, even when he was crying too! Even though he didn't get to finish the show with them, he and the adoration his members had for him left a huge impression on me.

The CONTROL this man has is incredible. His voice is so steady and powerful. When I found out he was a former SM trainee and former SM The Ballad member I was like, "Ah yes, that lines up." (When I found out he was the one who beat EXO's Xiumin in the 2008 SM Everysing Contest and was considered for EXO's lineup I truly lost it.) I finally listened to his cover of Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar and HOLY CROW I got shivers. If this cover alone doesn't convince anyone that he deserves to be listed among the top vocalists in kpop, I truly don't know what to say.

Still not convinced? He has versatility. How many idols have you heard sing opera? Jinho is able to do so many genres with the same level of incredible talent demonstrated already. PTG's most recent album, IN:VITE U is a masterpiece in its own right, but one of the pièce de résistance was The Game. The operatic section at the top of the song is sung by Jinho. I feel like I don't need to say more, so have some examples. Oh, speaking of, he also did a cover of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, also for his cover series MAGAZINE HO. No big deal. He sang every part.

I'm still not done. This guy. Has RANGE. You might think this is the same as the operatic section, but it's different. He can go for the typical western pop sound, think a Bruno Mars type belt like in When I Was Your Man (which Jinho has covered), he can go for the leading male musical theatre roles like the Jesus Christ Superstar clip, or he can go high. Here's a fairly comprehensive sample of his vocal range:

For this one I'm going to give you some backstory in case you don't know Pentagon. In a LOT of their songs, one of their main rappers will introduce himself as "Yutoda" (literally "it's Yuto" in Japanese because he's Japanese) and his voice is super deep and lovely and perfect for the rap lines. Anyway, in one of their b-sides, Fantasystic, Jinho has this CRAZY high note where he does Yuto's introduction instead. It's great because it's the perfect foil to the usual deep "Yutodaaaa" and to my knowledge Jinho is the only member who can hit it- I have a feminine soprano voice and I have to work to hit that note! (Skip to 1:45 if you're only interested in the Jinho version.)

Would you like soft sweet vocals? Have vocal unit Jinho, ballad Jinho, lovely honey smooth Jinho.

Here's a clip from more than 11 years ago, with SHINee's late Jonghyun and Super Junior's Kyuhyun for SM The Ballad:

(And an SM The Ballad song bit performed for Pentagon on Kiss The Radio and look at the members' faces!)

Pentagon's two main vocals are amazing separately or together. There's a few Jinho Hui duets but Thank You just hits different. They both hit impressive high notes and then you have Jinho's low throaty "My lady!"

I could probably keep going but this is three hours in the making and I'm sure you're tired of reading it. Tl:dr Pentagon's Jo Jinho is truly deserving of way more praise. His voice is incredibly versatile and he has a crazy range. I didn't even really share any of Pentagon's title tracks, because that's a lot and sometimes it's hard to keep track (but he usually has some of the highest percentages of lines and we are definitely not going to talk about Pentagon's terrible line distribution in this post). I feel like Pentagon has tried a lot, and Jinho has been there for most of it. I'm so glad he's back safely and continuing to absolutely destroy my expectations for how much his voice can still impress me~!

Thanks for reading if you've gotten this far, and if you weren't already a Universe, maybe consider:

Even Hui told us to stan Pentagon!

(If you aren't sick of the absolute talent, have a compilation of Feelin Like era Jinho~)

One Day She Will Swim with Dolphins 

Fic Rec #1 

https://archiveofourown.org/works/520555 by scioscribe 

There are mature implications in this story if that makes you uncomfortable!

Where do I even begin with this short but remarkable fanfic? One Day She Will Swim with Dolphins focuses on Shirley and is an immaculate character study. The story’s pretty old and was actually written while the show was still on air so I’m not quite sure if the author is active on ao3 or any other social media platform for that matter. I picked this fic as my first review and recommendation because of how much I loved it and because of how rare Shirley fanfic is in the fandom. It’s literally everything I wanted from canon and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I read it. 

The writing style is beautiful and impactful. It’s one of those stories where you feel every gut-wrenching emotion through simple words laid out perfectly by the author and it lingers in your mind long after you’re done reading. 

The writer effortlessly nailed Shirley’s passive-aggressive and judgmental attitude. There is a moment in the fic where Shirley says something off the wall about the stripper Andre cheated with which stays very true to her as a character. It demonstrated her flaws as a person brilliantly in my opinion. 

One of the things I admired about the story is its point. Shirley is more than a wife and is more than a mom. Sure, she is both of those things, but she is so much more than them. Within this story, she’s finally given the depth and emotion that the actual show writers failed to give her. Everything from Shirley leaving Andre for herself (which felt so empowering and moving by the way) to Shirley slowly becoming her own and discovering her worth-- I just loved everything about it. I’m honestly speechless by how well thought out this one-shot was. 

Another thing I was obsessed with was the dynamic between Shirley and Britta!!! They’re definitely one of my favorite duos on the show, so to see it being explored on a deeper level is lovely and satisfying. It hits the core as to why their friendship with one another works and why they’re good for each other. They give the other such an amazing balance and the author showed this well. And ending the story with Shirley hanging with Britta was the absolute best way to do it because it came full circle. We see Shirley finally doing something for herself and shifting from everything she’s “supposed to be” to what she really wants to be! I can’t even put into words how much I adore that conclusion.  

This fic was beautifully and also at times painfully real. It was such a good read and I loved every second of it! 

FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE FIC:

While I loved the whole thing and appreciated the fact that it focused on Shirley, my favorite part was definitely the exploration of Britta and Shirley’s dynamic! Their friendship was beautifully written. I also loved the title because it really shows what the story’s about; Shirley breaking free and becoming her own!

LINES THAT STOOD OUT: 

1. There was a messiness to them that she loved because it seemed more honest than the way Andre had kept buying her scarves and pretty earrings right until he told her he was leaving.

2. She was going to go swimming with dolphins. She was going to scream when she wanted to, shout and holler, and she was going to dance to Chuck Berry in her nightgown, her hands warm around Britta’s, and she was going to keep rocket pops in the freezer. She was going to put up as many pictures of the Lord as she wanted and she was going to hold her head up in church even though she’d left her husband. 

3. Britta didn’t understand why she had left Andre, Britta had never seen that part of Shirley coming, so Britta touched her shoulder with delicate fingers and said, “Did he break your heart, Shirley?”

“No,” Shirley said. “He just didn’t know what to do with it. I do, though.” 

4. They were just so perfect she had to laugh.

DO I RECOMMEND THE STORY: 

Absolutely!! In fact, I highly recommend it!  Especially if you’re a Shirley lover like I am. It’s only 2,902 words long; the story makes its point and hits home with so little time to do so. This fic was so beautiful and powerful. It lives in my head rent-free and I will never forget it! 

END NOTE:

Okay, guys! That was my first review!!! I finally had the nerve to post it. What did you guys think? I can’t wait to read more of your fics and review them- this fandom has such talented writers and I love you all sm. Thank you for reading this if you did! :)

Also, if you want me to review your fic (as long as it revolves around community), inbox me!!! I have a few I’m already doing but I would love more!

Hi! Can I please have a ship for the MCU and Harry Potter if you do that (it’s totally fine if you don’t) okay so I’m 4’11, have long black hair and brown eyes, I’m an ENTJ, I’m very sassy, blunt, and competitive. I’m very passionate about politics, football, and traveling. I tend to have a short temper (I don’t deal with bs), I can be very stubborn and hot headed as well. I love photography and I’m very sensitive (though most don’t see it) overall I’m just a pretty complex person. Thank you sm!

Here you go! And yes I still do Harry Potter, JK Rowling didn’t do anything new I didn’t already dislike her for. The series belongs to the fans now and as long as I can acknowledge the bad in it I can still cherish the good it brought to my childhood. Regardless! I hope you like it!

I ship you with...

Marvel

Sam Wilson

He’s an all American kind of guy and definitely loves football. The two of you spend your Sunday nights watching the games and placing cheap bets like who I going to do the dishes. It’s pure fun. You also host the Super Bowl at your house every year and invite every superhero within a one planet radius.

Your relationship is filled with a lot of short quips between each other, usually blunt jokes that poke fun at one another. They’re always harmless but have an edge of a competitive spirit. It usually results in harmless banter about who is going to lose to the other and meaningless taunts. “Oh you wanna go?”s and “in your condition? I’d beat you in a heartbeat”s.

He’s so used to giving and gives it his all for his friends and those he loves. It takes a big toll on him. Similar to you he wears that kind of burden so well that most never notice. You do though, because you feel the same way a lot. You’re sensitive and you see it when he goes overboard into helping you feel better. Sam pours his all into everything.

The two of you get to travel a lot, his work as the new Captain America sending him all over the world. At first he was apprehensive about having you come along, he couldn’t bare the thought of losing you, but you love traveling and him and the idea of having to sit at home was a fate worse than death.

You sent the Christmas cards. You’re more heartfelt when you write them and it gives an excuse to send your photography to all your friends and family. Sam doesn’t just dump that on your or anything, he hangs around and helps select pictures he thinks each person on would appreciate the most and the two of you end up coming up with the most unique set of Christmas cards anyone’s probably ever done.

Don’t even get me started on the Fourth of July. It’s probably the biggest holiday around. Lots of arguments over politics, you and Sam are a powerful combo, and overzealous American based competitions. Even when the country seems to be tearing itself apart you two manage to hold onto the American dream. You can disparage this country as quick as the next person but you take a day to indulge in what makes it full of hope: and one of those people is Sam.

“I don’t know if I can do it.” Those are the first words you hear as Sam tosses the shield onto the kitchen table. This wasn’t his usual warm greetings but the man had nothing else to say. He didn’t even know where to begin, had no idea how to admit he still couldn’t cope with losing his best friend. That no matter how hard he was trying to be Captain America that he didn’t feel like he truly was what Steve had been.

You stared, unsure how to handle it as you took a step forward. Whatever had happened today was a major setback in this whole operation. “What happened?” You knew it was a horrible transition period already. Sam looked nothing like the Captain America the world had grew to accept. The cards were stacked against him from the start. Nobody believed he was good enough and the public thought it was their right to scrutinize him at every turn. Usually he kept his head up about but something changed.

Sam hesitated to take any steps forward. The world may have been saved but things were far from over. “I stopped a robbery on broadway, I caught the perps and had them tied up before police arrived. And the hostage— she screamed at me, afraid I’d hurt her no matter what I did to try and mend her fears. And when the cops did show up they started shooting at me.” He was slowly breaking in front of you and you didn’t have any idea what to do with it. “They called me some imposter, insinuated that I was a common criminal. That there was something innate in me that would never be good enough. And they called for backup when I ran.”

The world was more uncertain that ever before. After the second snap and Tony’s sacrifice the world failed to pick itself back up and begin moving. “Don’t listen to them, alright? Steve had it easy. The government paraded him around like some show pony for the troops. He got a grandiose opening.” You racked through the memories as you tried to find a way to comfort him. “But you’re stronger. You needed to be. You show up as a hero in the worst time in history and you don’t get an introduction.”

“I just don’t know if I can do it.” Sam held back tears but you could see them in his eyes. But you were stubborn, and it killed you to see him like this. So you did what you always do, took this on as a challenge to make him realize he was good enough. “I don’t know if Steve made the right choice, if I’m even good enough for what he gave me! He’s a better man—“

“Don’t you dare say that, Sam!” You shouted back suddenly, it startled him. “You’re a million times better than Steve. Alright? He left. He got his happy ending. You’re still fighting for the living. You’re still here!” The idea that somehow he didn’t believe in himself killed you. You couldn’t even wrap your head around the idea. “Steve spent decades deciding who he wanted and after all that time he believed you were the best person alive. He believed in you. I believe in you!”

There wasn’t much more to say after that as Sam crashed his lips onto yours. It wasn’t exactly a beautiful kiss but it was killed with such a strong sense of love, duty and faith. “I love you, you know that right?” He has to ask. You were worked up to the point of angry-tears but managed to nod your head slowly. He wasn’t sure he’d ever find someone who believed in him as much as you did.

“I love you too.” You smiled softly, breathing slowly in and out as you stared down at the floor. “But for the record, and I really feel like I have to say it...” You looked up at him, your brown eyes wide and big, “I’d be a way better Captain America.” The smirk on your face was sudden and cocky. It was hard for either of you to really get too deep in your emotions and humor was the quickest way to ease the tension of the moment.

“Oh really now?” Sam asked back with a laugh. “What ever happened to your whole believe in me speech. Cause, and maybe I was wrong, but I thought you just agreed that I’m the better Captain America.” He had his arms out in a challenging way, daring you to tell him he was wrong.

“Well you’re better than everyone but me.”

Harry Potter

Ron Weasley

The two of you can go absolutely crazy over quidditch, cheering for your favorite teams is an excellent bonding moment. You’re both competitive and love sports, and what better pass time than the wizards for world’s biggest sports event? The two of you have different favorite teams so it’s always a competition to see who’s will do better that year.

The two of you are both very blunt, which is honestly something that Ron needs from a person in his life. He hates when people try and get all convoluted instead of saying what they just actually mean. Your blunt nature fits what he likes to a T, even when it upsets him. The blunt nature of the relationship can be a blessing or a curse for those who encounter the two of you.

Ron is loyal to a fault, which is something that’s good for you. When you get overwhelmed and let your emotions get the best of you he’s the kind of person able to withstand any emotion. If someone were to push you too hard, not expecting you to be as sensitive as you are, Ron is the first person to jump in. He can get a little aggressive about it.

You’re both hot-heads and tend to get into pointless stubborn competitons. Whether it’s a game or a debate, the two of you get into them often with the goal of winning. Some people interpret this as fights but the truth is that both of you know how to come down from them without harming the relationship. While you’re immovable when against each other you become unstoppable when both of you are on the same side. People tend to just give up.

Ron doesn’t quite get your photography and no matter how many times you explain it all he doesn’t really get it. But that doesn’t stop him from trying and getting envolved. He’ll buy you photography gifts, and they tend to be hit or miss. For a while he didn’t get why you took so many photos but down the road when you showed him all of the past moments of your lives he realized how beautiful it really is.

Both of you are really into politics. Given that Ron literally took up arms in the resistance against Voldemort it shouldn’t be any surprise that he really cares about the government and what’s going on with it. He’s less intelligent than you, but equally passionate. If I’m being honest, it’s another reason people dread going to your house for holidays since the both of you manage to at some point drag everyone into another conversation about important political aspects you two care about.

“Five sickles says that you can’t make it to the top of the quidditch tower and back in under a minute—“

“Oh easy, bet.”

“AND perform five 3 360s.”

Suddenly the challenge was a lot harder for you. You stood in the grass of the quidditch field, staring up at the sky with your broom in hand. Now it was a question of your ability to do some tricks and those were never your strong suite. As much as you adore the game you tended to focus on mastering the basics instead of showing off. But, a bet was a bet and you hated the idea of admitting you couldn’t do something. “Like I said, easy.”

Ron stared at you with a wild grin on his face. He knew you were always up for a challenge and he was always up to doing something fun. It was truly a deadly combination. “Alright, I have the sickles right here. All you have to do is knock my socks off.” Perhaps he shouldn’t be daring his girlfriend to do something crazy but he couldn’t help himself and neither could you.

“Ready?” You asked as you nodded to his watch. “I don’t want you losing count and forcing me to lose.” You were honestly a little nervous but didn’t show it. You were stronger than that. What you really hoped was that no one came out and caught you guys fooling around on the Quidditch field, now that would be messy. Ron held up the watch and nodded his head.

“On your marks, get set, go!” And with that you went flying off. You decided to knock one spin upside down off the list really quick and managed to do that with some grace. You realized soon after that it wasn’t exactly fun, and was a little challenging to keep steady once it was over. “You got this, babe!” Ron shouted as you planned on how to get back at him for this. You got the next twist out of the way shortly before you got to the tower and then soon you made it close to around it. In an attempt to show off you used the final twist as you neared the other side, although this proved to be a mistake.

You lost your grip. The broom seperated from your body and sped off towards the stands as your body fell vertical. You didn’t hear anything aside from your own scream as you tried to reach for your wand. Your hand just got ahold of it by the time you felt a pair of arms grab you. You hadn’t even noticed Ron had gotten to you up until that moment as you clung tightly to him.

You winced when your broom hit the stands and broke straight through the seats and into the underside of the stands. You supposed you’s finally get the chance to find out what exactly was under those old things. You rested your head against his chest, neither of you saying much as you listened to his heartbeat. It was fast and scared and said more than enough.

“You didn’t let me finish.” You complained, trying to ease the tension with a joke. “You cheated.” You looked up at him and smiled as he neared the ground. Part of you felt that you would have been fine. You could have used a spell to summon the broom or something to ease your fall. Ron didn’t need to be there. But he was and it was actually really sweet.

Ron laughed, releasing tensed muscles in his body he hadn’t realized he strained as started to step off. And though he laughed he couldn’t stop holding you as if his life depended on it. “Yeah, I’m sure you would have. Do you want the sickles anyways?” He asked you. “An honorary win because I cheated?”

“Thank you very much, I’ll take those off your hands.” The real conversation occurred outside of language. The way you clung to him said thank you, and the way he held you, paired with his ever increasing heartbeat, said he loved you. Though the sickles certainly didn’t hurt.

The Announcement - Sehun fluff

I’m suing whichever one of you requested this. How dare you make me feel my own feels. -T

I tugged at Sehun’s t-shirt that draped over me like a dress. There was no hiding it anymore. Summer was here and I couldn’t wear baggy sweaters forever. My face was rounding out, I was constantly puking, and my feet were swelling already. Sehun told me that I was more beautiful than ever; that whole “you glow when you’re pregnant” thing. I called him a liar every time, but appreciated the fact that he said it, regardless.

I was ecstatic that we were going to start our family. Having a baby was something we had talked about before. Granted, we hadn’t planned on it being this soon. This little one was definitely an unexpected surprise, but a very exciting one.

We had decided to wait to tell the other guys until I was in my second trimester. We had wanted to make sure that everything went well and was okay before we started telling people. Of course, I had spilled the beans to my best friend, but this was way to hard to hide from her. Sehun had struggled. I told him to tell at least Junmyeon so that he knew why Sehun was so scatterbrained, but he wanted it to be a big ordeal when everyone found out together. I’m pretty sure that Jongdae and Minseok were already suspicious considering I had been rejecting drinks around them, and they all knew how I loved my wine. Last time I had passed, Minseok gave me the most “side eye” I had ever seen from a person, but he let it go.

We had just gotten back to my apartment from our second doctor’s visit. We were able to hear the little one’s heartbeat, (which sent Sehun and I into floods of happy tears), and we found out that it was growing healthily so far. We had a few ultrasound images, surprised at how much more it looked like an actual baby rather than the peanut that we had seen before. On the way home, Sehun had told me that he felt like it was time to tell the guys, and I agreed. He called everyone and arranged a time to meet at our place with the promise of food and beer.

I heard the front door open as Sehun got back from the store. We had needed more pasta for dinner than I had in my pantry. I went to help him unload the groceries, but he stopped me and handed me a gift bag with bright tissue paper sticking out of it. He was beaming, and I looked at him suspiciously.

“As much as I adore seeing you in my clothes, open this.” He was practically bouncing with excitement.

I tossed the tissue to the side as I tore into the bag. I pulled out two t-shirts. One had “Mom” in pretty script and the other had “Dad” in the same font. They were an incredibly soft material, and I ran up and kissed Sehun, thanking him for the shirt.

“I thought it would be funny to be wearing them when the guys got here and see how quickly they caught on. Maybe that’s how we could tell them!” He nibbled his bottom lip, hoping that I would like his idea, and I did. I nodded and agreed and went to change my shirt. I caught glimpse of myself in the full length mirror in my jeans that wouldn’t even button any more and my belly that was holding a human life in it. Sehun must have followed, because I caught glimpse of him in the door frame, watching me.

“You are so beautiful.” he whispered to me.

“Even with this bump that’s just going to get bigger?” I knew that, eventually, it would become obvious that I was pregnant. Right now, though, I felt like I looked as if I had had way too much Chipotle in one sitting.

He walked over and grabbed my hand, kissing the top of it. “Especially carrying our child.”

I smiled softly at him, and then asked, “how do you think the guys are going to react? What if they’re upset because they think that it will mess up a tour or a comeback or something?” My panicked thoughts that I had kept hidden started pouring out. Would we get lectured for not being more careful? What would SM say? I felt my stress start to rise, but Sehun put his hands on my shoulders and shushed me.

“Our friends are going to be ecstatic. We’ll work around it.” He kissed me. “Everything is going to be fine, baby.”

I nodded and took a deep breath. I finished getting ready. The shirt that Sehun had bought hugged my frame, so there was absolutely no denying the growing that my stomach had done. As I touched up my makeup, there was a knock on the door. I took another deep breath and went into the kitchen to start dinner as Sehun opened the door.

Everyone piled into the kitchen and started opening beers as I cooked from behind the island. We were all goofing around and talking like normal, and I grew more anxious with each passing moment that nobody noticed anything. It wasn’t until I had stepped away from the island and I turned to put water to boil that the room grew silent. I felt a flush grow over my cheeks as a beat of silence passed. It didn’t last long, though, as Baekhyun jumped up and yelled, “YOUR SHIRT SAYS MOM! ARE YOU GUYS HAVING A BABY?!”

Before either of us could even answer, there was a resounding shout of realization from everyone. Chanyeol was the second to his feet and immediately scooped me up into a giant hug. My pregnancy hormones got the better of me and overwhelmed me and i started sobbing into his shoulder as I hugged him back. Everyone took turns hugging and congratulating us. Bets of the gender being a boy or a girl already being made.

Once the dust had settled, I stood there wiping my eyes. I wondered why I had bothered putting make up on at all. Junmyeon had his arm around my shoulder and pulled me tighter against him.

“Why are you crying, babe?! We are ecstatic for you two!”

“I was afraid y’all were going to be mad at us because this can mess up schedules and stuff.” I realized now how silly that sounded, but then again, my emotions were a bit haywire. I felt Junmyeon ruffle my hair and kiss the top of my head.

“You dork. This is going to be the most loved baby in the world. Especially since I get to be it’s godfather.”

The room erupted with objection as arguments flared up over who would actually get to be godfather. Once Junmyeon walked away to argue with Yixing, Sehun walked up to me and embraced me, kissing me softly.

“I told you it was nothing to worry about my love.”

He kissed me again, and we heard Jongdae yell, “calm down, Sehunnie. She’s already pregnant!”

BTS Appreciation ❤️🙌🏻

so I was in class and instead of doing work I did this 👌🏻 Park Jimin- this boi. How can one man go from being the squishiest being on the planet to one of the sexiest people ever?! I have heart palpitations daily because of you Park jimin! I still get shivers when ever i hear his voice, especially those god damn high notes, and his dancing has so much emotion and he's so amazing and graceful but at the same time strong and powerful. I wish he would see himself as I see him because he is perfect. YOU DO NOT NEED TO LOOSE WEIGHT FOR US BOY U ARE BOOTIFUL ABS OR WITHOUT!!! Jung Hoseok- My lil ray of sunshine. He is so happy and i love him sm! He helps raise the spirits of the other members when they feel low and let's not get me started on his dancing. HOBI KING OF DANCE! I always knew he was amazing at dancing and had a lot of respect for him previously but after Boy meets evil my respect and shock hit the bloomin roof! i was speechless for at least 5 minutes. I N C R E D I B L E. Also to the people that say he is ugly. FIGHT ME! he is so cute and beautiful so m8 go to specsavers. Kim Taehyung- this guy never fails to kill my soul just a little everyday tbh. In the best way possible though. his box smile is the cutest thing i have witnessed within my years on this planet. he is so playful and funny and i love his relationship with the rest of the maknae line. His voice is so calming and low when's he's singing and when's he's speaking. to top it all off he can also hit some astounding high notes. PLEASE DRY MY EYES * cue high note * the high note in stigma is so powerful and almost uncontrollable by even tae himself. it's that good. Min Yoongi- oh. my. god. this multi-talented god. He first lured me in with his amazing rapping skills. he puts so much emotion into EVERY WORD! he can rap faster than how fast i devour japchae and that's fast. i didn't know rap could be beautiful until i heard yoongi, especially first love. when i found he could play the piano i was close to death. His version of I Need U made me cry the first time. it's so beautiful and HIS HANDS! he made me become obsessed with hands. he can go from being chill to the cutest happiest person i can't. when he smiles. just nope. I started piano again because of him and he is such an inspiration considering his back story and how he grew up to be who he is today. Kim Namjoon- this boy has so much on his shoulders regarding responsibility. we all know he feels pressure and feels responsible for the other members, how they are feeling and how well the group does. he is the leader of this group and it wouldn't be the same without his rapping skills and his passion for music. his english is so good considering he taught himself and he try's so hard to interact with ARMYs across the globe. He is so intelligent and is behind the majority of concepts for their albums, songs and music videos. all of them come out amazing and recently very very beautiful. He really cares for the other members and ARMY and always expresses how grateful he is. also DAMNNNNNNNNNNN HE GOOD LOOKIN Jeon Jungkook- our precious golden maknae. i can't go outside because of the fear that i might see a seagull and involuntarily scream ireumeun jungkook at it. this is all your fault. besides from that i actually love you a lot so👌🏻 his voice is actual perfection, his high notes are incredible and considering how young he started with big hit and bts I am very proud of how he has managed to balance school and graduate while also being an actual legend. he is so adorable and his laugh is just mmmmmmm. he is so good at dancing and my lord i cannot get "pardon?" out of my head. GET OUT! Kim Seokjin- HE IS SO UNDER APPRECIATED AND I HATE IT! HE IS SUCH AN AMAZING SINGER AND SO ADORABLE AND MOTHER MATERIAL BUT ALSO DADDY MATERIAL! okay i'll stop shouting but for real k? he needs more lines YOU HEAR ME BIG HIT! awake makes me cry, and it's such a good song and he belts it like no tomorrow. his laugh is actually the funniest and cutest thing i have ever heard. it's more addictive than heroine and it always lifts my mood. he is such a mum to the group and he's so caring and I LOVE JINNIE AHHHHHHHHH also m8 whenever i eat i can't not think of him making those noises like i can't eat without thinking about it, it's a problem.
