Hi Rain, how are you? Why do you think they have such different ways on how they talk about each other in public? If Jungkook doesn't want to talk about Taehyung, why would Taehyung not do the same?

Hi anon!

I don't actually think they have hugely different ways of talking or sharing about each other on socials. Fandom has a tendency to over exaggerate when it comes to members's bahaviors in general, and I think when it comes to Jk and Taehyung and their relationship that is very very much true as well.

It's not like Tae is spilling his feelings and information about their relationship freely and without boundaries (in general, because those last lives were somewhat different and I'll come back to that later). Tae lets us know they're close and they spend time together. It's his fondness of Jk that he's showing, but not the extend of that fondness. It's something he's always done, so it's nothing new. It's just something that's maybe more obvious now, because the other members aren't included in his live as much as they were before. So the difference between Tae and Jk's relationship and those with other members is just more visible. I don't think Tae want's to come out right now, but I think his reasons for that are rational and separate from his feelings. When it comes to what his heart wants, I think he wants to be free. We've all seen that SK has once again upholded the ban on gay sex. So even if Tae and Jk felt strong enough to go against SK societal opinion, they still can't be out because of the sole fact that if they were to be out while being in the army it would endanger their freedom. Even if they were to not actually do something during that time, the mal intent of others, the rumors that nasty people would put out, could possibly have a way different outcome than what we've seen so far. So they just can't and Tae knows that. They have always protected their relationship. I think part of Tae doing Taennie was because of protecting his relationship. That doesn't mean that he feels good about it. That doesn't mean that at times he wishes he could be more open. That doesn't mean that at times his feelings get so strong that he can't/won't push them back. I don't know if Tae actually did those lives on purpose, for us to witness what we did. I don't feel he was drunk to the extend of not being able to think rationally during his first live (listening to Jk sing), I think he felt tipsy and shared a feeling he had on the spot. Very human behavior. The live of him in bed with someone next to him (Jk sleeping imo)... was it him intentionally doing that with the purpose of people noticing? Or was it him thinking no-one would notice? The first option would be a bit more bold and would definitely make me think something triggered him. The second option would just be him miscalculating how much we can pick up on lives. To him it might've seemed as though Jk was sleeping soundly and silently (being used to sleeping aside one another will do that), but in reality Jk's breathing was audible enough for us to pick up on. I'd like to state that I feel none of these options are a reason for people to judge Tae on his behavior (as I've seen people do in my inbox). Personally my support for them extends to the way they choose to navigate their closets. None of us are in their shoes, none of us know what the actual risks are, none of us know what goes on behind the scenes, so none of us get to judge.. we haven't got the right amount of information to do that.

Now Jk is not as 'dismissive' or silent about Tae as some like us to believe. There is no member that Jk has been hanging out with as much as he has with Tae. Those are actions.. and Jk is an actions kinda guy. I think the biggest difference between Tae and Jk in this is that Jk has embraced the 'secret' part more. Whether this is due to him being a bit more afraid, or due to him being an actual private person more, or both (yes, it's both I think).

When you are in a relationship you don't automatically have the same way of dealing with things. Tae and Jk have different characters which makes up for the differences in the way they communicate and share. What happens when there's something you both have to deal with, is that you talk it through and come up with a joint way of handling it. And I think the way they are both handling their relationship in public is to show closeness, but not the extend of their closeness. When it comes to their relationship, is Tae a bit more spontaneous and driven by strong feelings at times? Yes, I think that's the case.

This is how the Team 7 reunion looked like, right?

the fact that imogen was 18 when her dreams first started reveals so much about why she was so bitter and angry and lost all her faith in the world. now we know that it wasn’t because imogen didn’t experience her youth and the kindness of it; it’s because she did. and then it was ripped away from her. friends, people she cared about, people she loved - all of them turning on her. she had a community, a life, a job, something of a future built in gelvaan. she worked for someone. she was his apprentice. that was imogen’s whole life planned out (just starting, really) and she had a taste of it before she started dreaming and hearing things she shouldn’t. and then everyone turned their backs on her.

How many times do you think Tuvok used the Tarkalean flu excuse before Janeway started going "Hmm..." Seven years is a long time and I'm certain that the first few times Tuvok got the 'flu' Janeway didn't remember or think much of it. Especially depending on how common the Tarkalean flu is (it'd be much less notable if it was the equivalent of being out sick with 'a cold') At what point do you think Janeway went "Let me make a note of this..." and then the next time his 'flu' rolled around, seven years later, she went back to confirm that note. But a good scientist needs more consistent results than that - so it really took a third period of seven years to fully cement this knowledge as fact in her mind. Meanwhile Tuvok's making detailed psychological notes on her. They're a perfect team!

Another VSArtParty, though only doodles and screens this time because it's been too hot to do more T_T

Wilson is officially the smollest & best drink server of the month. And don't worry, Axoterith is fiiiiine 👀💦

Wilson and Aurelia loafin' under Mabaki's chair.

Pelkk and Morr kept tussling and wrestling... in some weird ways at time. And Joko was there as well idk.

Someone died for realsies soon after the start of the party. But with our petal throwing (and a bit of necromancy) they got better! (I didn't screenshot this and I forgot who you were sorry ;;)

The cake summoning ritual was a success!
