How I think Stray Kids would date a Plus Size Girlfriend!~ Makenae line!

Hyung Line

-Han

This man is going to deny his feelings so hard???? Like my god- he is gonna flirt with you, hold your hand, be an absolute adorable pain in your ass. Let you in, and if asked about it? Nahh, we are just friends. And its gonna crush you. But he knows as soon as it left his face he shouldn't have said it. He is just protecting his heart and he is scared.

He is so internal about his deep feelings that most people wouldn't be able to tell if he was upset, but if you see that his eyes are gonna light up like fireworks. We see how aware he is around Leeknow, how in the SKZ show he did with Minho he was able to tell like 'wait 10 seconds and if he sighs or huffs he didn't really wanna do it' THIS MAN IS SO DETAILED?! Like we know he is an angst boy, and loves writing heartbreaking songs, I don't think that he would change that about himself, but he would write about your troubles. How he is so desperate to see yourself the way he sees you. Which I think if he was to date a plus-size girlfriend it would unironically be a like Noona thing? We all joke and tease that this man is subby and needs a minho or a dominate woman, but I think he just likes to not have to be 'the pants' as it were. I don't get a super typical masc vibe so having someone who is on the other side of the spectrum is helpful. He isn't a dominant person, he doesn't like the attention a lot of the time. He reminds me of like very calm and collected kinda he will be your peace. He will remind you to drink water, and hold you when you're sad, but also wants to be held.

He will fall in love with you internally and grow to love your body. Which is a pain, but its true I think. First thing out of his boys mouth is how cute you are, and prepare to have your cheeks squished. Lots of demanding kisses, lots of hand holding. If you can carry him? OOO YOU'VE GOT HIM IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND! He loves to be baby, but don't let that fool you that he is any less man than changbin or Channie or anyone else

-Felix

I think out of everyone (this may be controversial) this man is the one that is going to have the most internal problems with the idea. Where for hyunjin its a lot around his perception, but for felix its all internal. I say this because like Chan, he lived in Australia, and moved to Korea. He is going to have a lot of complexes regarding his looks. He went and starved himself for 5 ish days because he felt he needed to for a fashion show. (which isn't true) He did martial arts and as someone who dated a person who also did martial arts with a similar amount of awards, there is so much conversation around what your body can do? In that culture? Pushing past those limits, finding your inner strength. This is great in theory, but not so in practice if done poorly because it forces you to think far more critically and not constructively about yourself. He has on record talked about how not great he thinks he looks and it breaks my heart and I very much think that it would affect a relationship. Not that I think he is worried about public reception, but he might buy into a lot of the bad science that's out there around plus-size bodies. I also think him and Chan would make jokes that aren't that.... well-received?

But if he gets through all of that, you have an absolute dork on your hands. He is so ready to skip chapters and be 4 years married going to your daughter's dance recital. He will dote on you and lay on you, and just hold your face in his hands and squish your cheeks to make duck lips. He is I think like Han in that softer masculinity, not that it's any less masculine. He's just not gonna be very dude-bro about it. If you want to take the lead he's all for it. If you want him to be the lead he'll happily step up. I think like some other members of SKZ he wants to provide for you, he wants to make sure you are happy and taken care of and feel loved. If you have a love language or a attachment style he will research it, or if you have an interest he will look into it to try and talk to you about it. Being plus size I think it wouldn't affect him much and if you needed to sit he'd sit with you.

He knows shame, and so if you were stuck in a situation where you felt shame like going to dinner with friends or being invited to do a day outing and getting winded? He would defend you or try his best to make it suck less. He is such a quiet reliance that he will be your security when the world falls apart.

-Seungmin

This motherfucker doesn't give a single flying fuck about how you look. Or how you think you look or if you think you look bad. It will always go like this

"Whats wrong?"

"...It's nothing"

Punches you in tiny "what's wrong?"

"I just don't feel pretty okay? Or like I deserve you or just gahh!"

"..Well that's dumb. Of course you deserve me. We love each other."

and he will walk away, run back ruffle your hair or give you a kiss and walk away again. THATS IT! I think if it was really serious he would listen and try to help, but he knows hes not gonna change how you feel about yourself in some grand gesture. We know he teases a lot of people, but if you made him aware that 'hey lets not' I think he'd be considerate about it. He'd then tease you about something else, but he knows not to super cross lines set up. If someone around yall makes a 'joke' or tries to make fun of you I believe he'd either try and spin it in a way where its not bad, or he'd play threaten violence but you know its not as...play as people believe it to be. He is I think also in the line of softer masculinity, but is more leaning towards the hyung line of masculine than someone like Felix. (everyone has their moments of course)

He is one of those people that I see wanting an equal partnership, someone he can have banter with (not just be rude and see if you put up with it) but like actual witty banter. He is simultaneously baby but also is happy to hold you close. He doesn't care about looking stupid in public so don't let you think for a moment he wouldn't hold your hand in public. He would bring you up in any conversation, just so proud of you and your accomplishments. He is rather shy of a person, until you get to know him then he is a twerp so if you can bounce with that energy you've got a good relationship in spades.

-I.N

This man is such a dweeb! In a good way! But his clumsy ass would actually be falling head over heels! I dont think hes gotten a lot of outside experience in the dating scene due to school and then just instant idol life? So someone with similar youthful energy that matches his would do really well. I think he'd need someone his age too, unlike Han who would be interested in a noona. Noona stuff for him I feel is more kidding than real relationship material.

This is where I have to apologize to Jeongin stans, I do not have a single romantic or interested bone in my body for IN other than 'he is baby, let me feed him food'. I wanna take care of him like a big sister, not a girlfriend. Though because of this I will link some fics to hopefully make it better. (I haven't read these so be warned)

pairing seungmin x fem!reader

genre strangers to lovers, romance, fluff, slight angst later, happy ending, social media, not meant to be, someday

summary Australia is considered home for two of the eight members. When two tour dates are scheduled for the land down under, the boys can’t help but want to spend a bit more time there to visit family and do a little sightseeing. So how do they convince the company that they need to stay a couple weeks? Filming some SKZ Code episodes.

A local riding school just outside the city with amazing reviews for their skilled instructors and beautiful horses is hosting a very popular kpop group to film their experiences. Y/N knows the group well and she just so happens to be their star working student.

Seungmin’s leg bounces as the cars rumble along the gravel road leading up to the ranch. His neck cranes and stretches to peek past Minho’s headrest.

“This car is going to tip over if you don’t stop rocking it with how fast your leg is moving on this bumpy road,” Chan teases as he gives his arm a light shove to lighten his mood.

“What are you so nervous about anyways? Y/N was super chill yesterday,” Han asks obliviously, laidback with his eyes closed like he hadn’t gotten enough sleep last night. Which he probably didn’t.

“Her being ‘chill’ has nothing to do with this. She’s more fun to be around than any of you.”

“Ouch! You wound us Seungmin-ah~!” Minho shouts too loudly in the small confines of the vehicle.

“Ah! Hyung my ears!” Han whines. At least he’s wide awake now. Minho chuckles as he pats his knee from across the center console.

Seungmin slouches back into his seat, propping his chin in his hand as he pouts and stares out the window. Chan reaches to place a hand on his shoulder. “Everything’s gonna work out how it’s supposed to. Just enjoy the moment.”

The younger takes in his words for a moment before letting out a sigh and smiling at their leader. “Since when have you been so philosophical?”

Chan’s smile widens at his lightened mood. “I don’t know what you mean! I’ve always been this wise!” He puffs his chest proudly.

“Whatever you say, Old Man,” Seungmin pokes with a less than serious eye roll. The car fills with the eldest’s whines of protest, claiming that he’s not old, he’s only foive.

~*~

It’s mornings like these that are some of your favorites.

You laugh as you and your best friend jump around, singing, and dancing to ‘Social Path’. Only one of the many Stray Kids songs on your playlist you’ve been blasting in the wash bays with the horses. You’ve both been at it for half the morning and were finally on the last two. And of course, you’d saved the best for last, Storm and Nova.

A giggle bubbles out of you when Storm bobs his head along while you’re dancing. Seems like the love for Stray Kids might be an inherited trait.

It’s a beautiful day. The doors are swung wide open with the sunlight pouring in. A refreshingly cool breeze is a welcomed relief from how stuffy it can get when the water steams up the place. The smell of wet (but clean) horses dominating the air, a thing that might be unpleasant to some people but was oddly satisfying for you. Probably because you’d just spent the last couple of hours washing them.

You give Storm his final spray, the suds washing away and pooling at his hooves. Then you turn your hose to the floor to push them towards the drain faster.

Watching the bubbles disappear, your mind starts to drift. You’re not really ready for this moment to end. You’d rather stay in the wash bay with Liv and blast Stray Kids for the rest of the day. But you know that’s not an option.

There’s a particularly loud bray cut through the blare of the music from one of the ‘drying’ horses a few stalls away, you swear it’s Shadow, and it draws your attention towards that side of the barn. Your eyes immediately widen when you see what, or who rather, all the commotion was about.

A group of 8 men you never thought you’d meet again, Stray Kids.

With who out in front leading the charge? None other than Seungmin. The same man who confused you by posting that photo of you on his social media. An odd sense of giddiness and hope had swirled in your chest at seeing it but then your brain kicked those feelings down into the pit of your stomach with the reminder that he is an Idol. There is no ‘keeping in contact’ with someone like him.

Olivia had rushed over to the speakers when you weren’t looking and turned the music down. It’s enough to snap you out of your daze.

“Aww! I was just about to bust into my verse!” Changbin laughs out a complaint. You also don’t miss how Hyunjin and Felix are vaguely going through the motions along to the dulled music anyways.

“Uh, hey guys! We…weren’t expecting to see you here! Did I forget about another scheduled ride?! Oh my god, I’m so sorry!” Your nerves slowly turning to panic as you frantically comb your fingers through your hair, brush your shirt free of any residue from washing the horses, in a vain attempt to make yourself look presentable.

Seungmin laughs, waving his hands in front of him to ease her worries. “No, no! We’re here all on our own!” With a chuckle, he goes on when you tilt your head in confusion. “We really enjoyed our time here yesterday and were hoping for a redo.”

You stare at him.

The group of boys look at you curiously. He isn’t fazed by your silence, giving you a moment to absorb before adding, “Would you and your friend want to hang out and ride with us again?”

You must still be giving him a stupid look because Olivia shows up next to you with a sharp elbow to your ribs. “Ow,” you mumble, shooting a glare at your best friend but quickly straighten up to give the boy in front of you a much nicer smile, albeit a little awkward. “I mean, yeah, of course! We would love to but…I’m sure our boss wouldn’t appreciate us playing hooky for our shift.”

Chan pokes his head out from around Seungmin’s shoulder at that. “Actually! We’ve already cleared it with your boss! All good!” He smiles the biggest smile along with a big thumbs up.

“Oh my god! No way, really?!” Olivia exclaims while your mouth hangs open in shock. How many more curveballs will these men throw at you today?! Probably more than you can count on one hand.

Movements of the Social Body

Before the Separation Act or the Dechristianization Campaigns, before the Purity war, I was just a kid named Noah.

Prime Minister Lee was on the telly again. “..essential that we strive to balance the wishes of our diverse communities. I come from a family with our own beliefs, my father would always take me aside to educate me about the roles we play as citizens according to Confucius. Now other communities, other families have their own role models, but we cannot allow one to dominate. Diversity is our..”- dad turned off the TV. “Diversity” began my father, “is the devil’s idea. This heathen compromise won't last forever, look at me son! I say it won't last forever, God won't allow it, no way Jose.” I nodded, fearful of my dad's bad moods. I was only 14.

My home - my parents - were no good for me. I fled home at 16, just as my country was about to change forever.

PURITY WAR

The Christian Warriors started out as an obscure club on the fringes of a coastal city. Their leader, Abraham, was a fanatic and a skilled leader.

Abraham: ..For humanity is depraved, wicked, and only GOD is good! The individual personality is God’s ENEMY, the focus of his divine wrath. Those who lust, the dancers, the ones who listen to sinful secular music as well as the FAGGOT and so-called TRANS-GENDER are not worthy of life. Pray with me now! Oh God, when we act out of personality, strike us down! Oh God oh father oh holy holy holy LORD! we BEG to be struck down by your divine wrath whenever we stray! Amen! LOUDER! AMEN!” The preacher took a moment to gather himself. “God knows we are vile and deserving of punishment, all of us down to our little children. We cannot help but be wicked, it is our essential nature - But!” And he held on to that word for effect. “But God in his infinite mercy has granted us a path! A path to salvation, can you believe it!? AMEN. AMEN! Believe without worldly proof, that is, believe with faith, and you are to be SAVED! Plucked from the assured embrace of the fire! We are tasked to spread the word, but as Jesus said, those that stand in our way will be put to the sword! AMEN! PRAISE JESUS! PRAISE GOD OUR FATHER! HALLELUJAH! AMEN!”

The Christian warriors deviated from mainstream Christianity in many respects, but in the coming decade they would claim orthodox status is Australia.

Time passed quickly, and when I look back on my childhood it's hazy - so much has changed. The government - Australian society too - have been molded into what the theocrats determine is orthodoxy. Of course, they made short work of those outwardly different: the flamboyant gays, the followers of Islam - and the Hindus too. All sent to the guidance centers, only to return as broken people, shadows, if at all.

I wasn't passive, by night I would spraypaint anti-Church slogans on the walls of my city, and I knew that if I ever found myself in the presence of the church leader I would end his life with my bare hands.

After the assassination attempt something seemed different, people were tense, they walked with affected purpose and they had begun to speak more freely in public. Clearly, oppression had created more opponents to Christian rule than the Church could have imagined. There were more of us than them. I turned a corner in the market, and saw the graffiti on the wall in massive letters: “Resistance springs from a single noble thought” I smiled, which caught the attention of a watching guard, one of the religious police. I looked away and kept walking.

DOCTOR (after fall of the theocracy)

Michael here is a doctor, a leading voice in the rise of the so-called Hyper-Secularists. With several bestselling books on the shelves, Michael has become the one to go to for literature on the edge of what is considered acceptable in the mainstream. Hope I haven't done a disservice to you there - “No, not at all, my readers come for the edginess and stay for the core message- the message that the religion our society is saturated in is poison, and that, contrary to mainstream belief, this is something we can address through government policy. The total disenfranchisement of religion is a real option that is open to us.” “the pastor’s eyes grew wide in disbelief. The presenter turned to him, he began, stammering “but this..this is extremist nonsense, religion is an established part of society, we cannot simply ban religion” “no? millions of children worry about the concept of hell every day, I'm thinking of them when I say the things I say, I'm thinking of the child I was, and what I could have done to have helped him.”

DECHRISTIANISATION CAMPAIGN

The scene was as dramatic as I would have expected. There were the Guardians, there were followers of Christ, there was the press, there, also, was I. The Christ followers were hand in hand forming several chains around the front of the Central Church, singing hymns somewhat pleasant to the ear. The guardians move in, breaking the chains, in response, no doubt according to plan, the slaves to Jesus switched to ostentatious prayer, all hands clasped, all desperate pleading for intervention from God, some with tears streaming down flushed faces. Some guardians entered the Central Church. They were resisted by the followers of Jesus, to no avail. Exiting the church, the guardians called in reinforcements and cleared everyone from the surrounding area. Some of the Christians went all out, screaming. “You can't do this!” and “We have human rights!” and such. And, finally, when they realized the appeals to humanistic values had failed “you’ll go to hell for this, you're all going to hell!” “you will burn, your children will burn!” the guardian holding that individual took down their name and place of residence - threatening spiritual punishment was a chargeable offense. Everyone facing the old eyesore of a church, we heard a series of explosions from inside, and the whole structure imploded. I felt a thrill deep inside of me. Followers of Christ sobbing and wailing, I left the area with a spring in my step.

As the autumn leaves fell in the park, I approached the monument. ‘Dedicated to the dead and wounded on both sides of the Purity Campaigns, and those still under the heavy yoke of Christ.’ read the inscription.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR LIGHTSTICK!!!! I really want one, I was thinking of buying one, but then the rumors that they could finally come to my country so I decided to wait to see the ticket prices, because lately in concerts of other artists have put super expensive prices.

And I totally agree! Even if you're not there in the videos you can see how happy they are and how nice they treat Australia!!! 😭

And it's great because it means that also STAY treats them like home, meaning they always feel comfortable and are happy which makes the interaction WOW. So I understand perfectly!

Omg, you really loved working on my ship? It's a compliment that you enjoyed it! "Curious?" 👀 that's very interesting hahaha, I hope that song says rapapa hahaha, that Anton catches your heart! 😌

Oh, now you got me caught and excited waiting for the ship with Sungchan 🤭.

Anyway thank you so much for sharing your good experiences! It's always comforting to read them, by the way I scrolled down a bit on your profile to catch up and saw that I missed your birthday, but I hope you enjoyed your day and remember that you will always be a valuable person in this world, thanks for your effort and warmth!!!!

- 🍉😁

DUDE I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THE LIGHTSTICK EVEN EXISTS AND IS IN MY POSSESSION. I didn't save up as much money as I wanted for merch so I didn't get a shirt but I got the light stick, a key chain and this awesome randomized limited edition trading card (I pulled Seungmin). I hope the rumours are true and you get to go to see them. I think stray kids tickets are reasonablish with price for the experience but that might be different in your country. The light stick was $100 though and I questioned my whole purchase idea but by the time I went into the venue it was 10000000% worth it. I had been messing around with it in the venue and accidentally connected the bluetooth to the stage lighting thing so while I was waiting for the concert the lightstick started glowing red and kept turning on and off and I thought I broke it... I felt so dumb it just synced with everyone else and we were glowing together🙃

Honestly, lowkey I have beef with Australia even if I'm Australian so I don't know if we deserve it but man the niceness of them is so cute like they really want the best for Australia. An example is like my seats got moved because of "updated stage plans", so I was curious and when I got into the venue bro.... THEY HAD A BUBBLE TEA VAN WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SITTING😭 it was legit on the arena grounds, and they had special food for us Chkk Chkk Boom Chicken which was honey korean fried chicken and they also had a DominATE corndog. They also had like 4-5 different merch set ups so no one missed out on merch.

Also this wasn't skz related but the concert was in an official Marvel comics stadium so you walk around and there were just statues of the Hulk, Thor and The Hulkbuster as well as Moon Knight murals on the ceiling in the lobby part and Deadpool advertising everywhere. I just loved that that was the chosen venue it was fire.

I also got vip merch which was just sleep stuff, pillow cases, a sleep mask, socks, a robe and postcards of each member. It was just luxury and I haven't been to any kpop stuff besides skz because I always prioritize them but they set my standards, like Ateez are allergic to coming to Australia but if they did, don't even talk to me unless you have custom food and bubble tea (this is a whole joke don't take me seriously lmao).

Okay I'm currently working on your ship now and I liked it for an unexpected reason. I wanted to solve the mystery behind everything because slight spoiler it's got a lot of "negative" aspects but there are also a lot of good vital aspects and overlays so I haven't written the end part yet but so far I don't even know how to summarize this and it's so so long because so many dynamics are at play. I don't want to say it's a bad relationship and it's unhealthy but there are toxic parts but also you want to stay together apparently according to the placements and you will always come back to each other and you are just intense. It is literally so much to decode, understand and write but this is one of my favourite synastry ships because of how complex it is, man it even took forever for me to read the synastry chart I made.

And you got it that's literally the song! I wasn't even watching it for long and it was like 33 seconds in and I fell so hard for him. I felt bad because it wasn't even because it was Anton, he just reminded me of Hyungwon from Monsta X 💀 and I love nepotism babies who were born this way🤭

That's all good about my birthday though! I nearly missed my own birthday, forgot it was my birthday until my family said happy birthday lol

And I'm glad my good experiences or the stuff I talk about is okay like I don't wanna bore you at all but yes yes! nearly done with your ship so you can finally see why I love your ship!
