[bloodedhearts]

Once my theme is ready I'll write these things properly on their pages BUT here have some info in alphabetical order:

BALDUR'S GATE 3 MUSES

My Astarion will always remain a spawn. I won't write him ascended.

For his personal quest, I will "default" to him freeing the other spawns after he killed Cazador and sending them to the Underdark.

He's a flirt, but he's hard to actually ship with. It takes a lot to reach him under his many layers.

I will mostly write him during BG3 timeline, but I'm open to do pre-game and post-game stuff, too.

Cassandra is a gold draconic sorcerer, which means she has high affinity with fire magic

She resisted her urge and ended up free from it after her dual with Orin, being alive and well at the end of the game. I won't write her otherwise.

In her playthrough, she was in a romantic relationship with Astarion, but she won't automatically be interested in him if you write him. Chemistry is needed, and I'm also open to ship her with other characters if chemistry is there.

In my headcanon, Cassandra couldn't resist her urge before getting the tadpole and could barely exist on her own.

My main verse is BG3, but I'm very interested in writing pre-game stuff and even post-game stuff.

My Shadowheart will always become a Selunite and betrayed Shar.

My "default" for her ending is that she accepted to let her parents rest in peace.

Chemistry is needed for shipping as usual.

I will mostly write her during BG3 timeline, but I'm open to do pre-game and post-game stuff, like I said for Astarion.

DRAGON AGE MUSES

My "default" for Fenris is that he stayed at Hawke's side and that they sided with the mages.

Like I said for Neve, he won't automatically have a crush on Hawke or sleep with Isabela if you write them because chemistry is always needed. I'm also willing to ship him with other characters if chemistry is there.

I'm willing to write pre-DA2 stuff, but I'll focus on DA2, DAI and DATV's timelines.

If we're writing in DAI or DATV's timelines and we're not shipping, you can assume Fenris is Hawke's lover. The one I have in mind is my main Hawke, Allys, who's a diplomatic/sarcastic mage who sided with the mages.

In DAI, romanced or not, he will come to Skyhold once he learns Hawke is there and help the Inquisition at his friend's/lover's side.

In DATV, he will be helping the Shadow Dragons.

He hates Solas deeply, and even more after he learned what happened to Varric.

I'm writing Neve hardened and not hardened. I personally saved Treviso in my first playthrough and Minrathous in my second one, and I know I'll save Treviso more often. I'll write both versions of Neve, but I'll mostly default to Treviso.

Neve will always become the protector of Dock Town at the end of her questline.

Because I'm always selective when it comes to shipping, she won't automatically have a crush on Rook or on Lucanis if you write them. Chemistry will always be needed. I'm willing to ship her with other characters too if chemistry is there.

I'm focusing on Veilguard timeline, but I'm also open to write her post-Veilguard and post-Trespasser.

My inquisitor Thalia Lavellan is a tempest rogue and she's a very skilled archer.

Her romance in DAI was with Solas, but I'm open to other ships if chemistry is there (especially with Cullen ngl because he's the one I've romanced the most in DAI). If we're not shipping, I'll default to a relationship with Solas, especially in Trespasser and Veilguard's timelines.

Dorian was Thalia's closest friend in DAI and it'll default to this when it applies.

She has a twin brother named Zephyr.

I'm open to pre-Inquisition stuff, but I'm more interested in writing her during DAI, Trespasser, Veilguard and the gap between these games.

KOGA. [ modern / fantasy ]

note: this muse is based on the Pokemon muse of the same name, with many other inspirations from the Pokemon world. while this post focuses on the details of the fantasy variant, most of this can be applied to the pokemon verse as well.

overview.

name. Koga [甲賀] or ∆V˄П age. 54 (main verse), 30 (younger verse) species. shinshoku [神職] | human that channels kami powers sex. male occupation. assassin

appearance.

Koga is a Japanese man standing at 5'5" with a slender build emphasizing dexterity and agility over strength. Trained from youth, he is fit and toned and stands with the general stance of a trained, alert fighter.

He has black hair (fading to grey in his older years) that has a slight blue hue in the right light and is always styled into spikes that stick out around his head. His eyes are dark brown.

His clothing style varies and he can be seen wearing almost anything, though a red scarf is a common part of his outfit, even in the middle of summer.

His hands are rough from years of weapon use, and a variety of scars minor and major litter his body. Despite being married, he does not wear any ring and tends to avoid anything irrevocably distinct. Even so, he has a variety of tattoos across his abdomen. Most notably, a field of pink flowers around his waist with a black squirrel sitting among them on his lower right back. The rest of the tattoos are actually a special method of storing techniques for later use, and can have a variety of effects if triggered.

family.

mother. Hayai [速い] | ∆VwʎⱿ father. Doksu [毒手] | W∆VɅ> sister. Aya [紋] | ∆V∆ wife. Hiroka Nakao [博華 中尾] daughter. Janine (younger verse) / Anzu [杏] | ∆VꞰⱿ (main verse) other. too many to list.

Koga was born to two practicing members of a clan called the Kikyodai [一族の桔梗毒 • ichizoku no kikyodai • Clan of the Toxic Bellflower]. The clan has been practicing for approximately 400 years, in service of a kami named Azaku [ϺꞰꞰ∆V].

The history of the clan is long and complex, but in short, it's tradition for members of the clan to bind their souls to Azaku, gaining access to a limited degree of his power, which they use mainly for the protection of their land and home, and by extension, Azaku's territory.

abilities.

Koga channels the powers of the kami Azaku, a kami with the domain of nightmares, trickery, and deception. The clan has spent hundreds of years training and honing the use of the kami's powers, developing a variety of useful techniques, focused around disorienting and overwhelming the enemy.

That being said, while they're capable of a great range of abilities, none of them are made for direct combat, and they can easily be overpowered by sheer brute force.

Examples of techniques include smokescreens, teleportation, illusions, putting someone to sleep, peering into their dreams, briefly clinging to walls, or sensing the surroundings.

skills.

Though some of Koga and the clan's success are owed to Azaku and the magic they borrow from him, the clan also puts a heavy emphasis on training the mind, body, and soul as well, and Koga has decades of diligent training supporting his skillset.

He is well versed in many forms of combat, particularly the use of a variety of weapons including katanas, knives, throwing darts / shuriken, staffs, kusarigama, and yes, guns if they exist within the universe.

He does have some knowledge of unarmed combat for emergency use, but frankly, if pressed that far he's more likely to flee than to continue fighting. He's not difficult to overpower and he's not interested in fighting fair.

He's highly knowledgeable about all sorts of poisons and drugs -- both healing and harming, and practical and recreational use.

He's trained in subterfuge, reconnaissance, and survival, along with reading people and manipulating them to act to his advantage.

He's also well read on a variety of tactical and philosophical material.

Perhaps most important of all, he's trained to keep himself healthy, to tend to all needs of the person, and keep the aspects of the self in balance.

personality.

More often than not, Koga tends to present himself as a cold, standoffish individual (though that tendency fades as he gets older), mainly because he and his clan both have a reputation and potential enemies may take advantage of any sign of weakness.

Beneath the facade, he tends to be a gentle and compassionate individual, caring a great deal about the world and the people around him, often offering his advice and support to others and holding himself as a role model to them.

Though his skillset often leads him to violent encounters, either as a hired hand, defending his home, or serving local leadership, he views the taking of life as a very solemn duty, something he does out of necessity.

He and his clan believe heavily in love and friendship, harmony, forgiveness, and second chances, and while Koga believes in the capacity of humanity to do great good, he holds no delusions of the great atrocities they are capable of.

While he does try to keep his targets to the worst of humanity, he doesn't view his actions as good or heroic, but rather an example of evil combating evil. Ultimately, he believes that there is no unified concept of good, and what may be his good or for the good of the clan is almost certainly another man's evil.

On the other side, he has a sadistic streak, particularly enjoying watching people suffer to a variety of poisons. He is aware that he enjoys killing far more than he should, a trait he struggles with and tries to reign in. By his older years, he has found peace within himself.

He can also be vindictive and cruel, sometimes without any real reason or even realizing he's being so.

He's also a liar, compulsively so, and may lie about things as simple as what flavor tea he's drinking or what path he took home. It's a problem he's aware of, and a consequence of his bond to Azaku, and he makes an effort to not lie about important things, but it's still fairly common for him to completely omit important details or obscure aspects of his life for no real reason.

He often acts without explanation, and sometimes in drastic ways, requiring that those around him trust that he ultimately has good intentions, even if it doesn't seem as so at first. He is aware that the demand is unfair, and does not expect people to do so, and as such, he keeps few companions outside of his family.

However, even though his loyalty is first and forever to his clan, those that manage to earn friendship are protected. Aggressively so.

history.

Some things might shift here and there depending on the verse, but these events are mostly consistent across all verses.

0. Koga is born on January 4th.

3. Aya is born.

6. Hayai is murdered.

10. Koga is guided by his father in a systemic torture and murder of another human being.

13. Koga binds his soul to Azaku.

20. Koga meets Hiroka.

21. Koga marries Hiroka.

25. Janine is born.

29. Doksu passes leadership of the clan to Aya.

50. Hiroka dies.

52. Koga finally starts coming out of the grief.

54. Present day. Koga's health is failing.

Hi Ash!!! Sending you some for the oc ask game! Feel free to apply to any of your beans but was thinking of Jessie!

🎮💯💘

Oooo! Thanks Bloob!! I'll throw in a free Jamie! No charge, cuz I know you like him 😁😁😁 (sorry this took 8 years Jessie is so underdeveloped)

🎮 VIDEO GAME CONTROLLER — what are three of your oc's favorite hobbies

Jessie-

Baseball, very obviously. It's the sport he plays at school but he's pretty passionate about it.

He's absolutely a Candy Crush player. It's super goofy but he's like hard core addicted to it. Completing the levels really fucking pumps that serotonin.

Goofy as this is, Being with Daisy. He loves being around her, he loves thinking of date and gift ideas. She is often pacing around in his mind about 40 percent of the time. Although being around the SNG in general is a good way to hang out.

Jamie-

Watching TV. Look man, if I can say one thing it's that Jamie is consistent. And they fucking LOVE watching Bonnie's show.

Weirdly enough butchering. When they're doing their job it's quite a therapeutic experience for them. They spend a lot of the time venting to the body in front of them, mostly about their dysphoria.

Thinking about it they'd also probably find cooking enjoying, but like... That might just be my brain being like "butchering human's? Cannibalism, Hannibal time"

💯ONE HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOL — share three random facts about your oc that others may not know.

Jessie-

I made up the idea of Daisy's boyfriend back when I first made her for a theater class. I had to do a monologue in character and I filled it up with horror references, I even referenced the Sawyer's! But the catch was that she was supposed to be rambling to her boyfriend, who was dun dun dun ALREADY DEAD!!! Jessie as a character came later but I still think he would be the first to die, sacrificial lamb kinda deal.

This is more Trivia for the SNG in general but I mean... He's apart of it.. It counts. The SNG basically exist in a kind of multi verse? I plan to make a story focused on each of them. Michelle's is a Horror Movie, Alvin's is a romance, Clementine's is maybe a Spy/Mystery? Jessie's story should probably be a Sports one but also I am very much NOT a sports fan, so I'll have to work it out a bit more

I never posted the one doodle I did but I went to watch Back to the Future with goats and I think Jessie would be a wonderful Marty Mcfly.

Jamie-

I have shared this once before but I've always wanted to give them a hamster for a pet. It just... Fits??

They were mainly inspired by Bim Trimmer, a Markiplier character who is obsessively in love with YouTuber Matthias, so if you watch the skit "Hire My Ass" you'll see a lot of similarities

I have a friend who kinda ships Lev and Jamie, and honestly after learning that I have spent a lot of time thinking about their dynamic, and that it might change wildly.

💘 HEART WITH ARROW — what and/or who do(es) your oc consider the most important to them?

Jessie- as cliche as it is Daisy is absolutely one of the most important people in his life. Her and Dean are so very very important to him and he loves em so much.

Jamie-Oh Bonnie, Bonnie a million and one percent. They often claim that Bonnie is the one that 'got them into show biz' even though he is very much not in Show Biz. Their main motivation for basically everything is her. She's why they get up, why they kill.

[hiddenwildhunt]

#hiddenwildhunt. an independent & private / mutuals only writing blog for KAKASHI HATAKE, as if he lived in the jujujitsu kaisen universe. Currently screaming into the void and being side eyed by kakashi. loved since early teens by atlas.

a quick study, but in the way you feel so tired you don't actually want to lift your eyes up to read. . . teachers that didn't want to sacrifice kids for a cause. a constant worrier. that panic at the disorder. special tired grade. demoted semi first grade. shinigami are life.

affiliated. @b1oodburned

verses; jjk canon, modern teacher

"Every day, I eat, I sleep, I worry about stupid things. My job is to make sure these kids have as many days as they can where they can be idiots like this." - kashi

01. general. this blog is mutuals only for all interactions. i'm an absolute lover of kakashi and thought he'd work perfectly for a jjk verse. this blog won't be spoiler-free & i myself casually refuse to read the manga. but boy have i read every detail of the wiki and watched everything. i'm multi everything when it comes to shipping, affiliates, exclusives / mains, crossovers, etc. usual disclaimer that i don't own jjk, naruto, etc. i'm not affiliated with it in any way.

02. triggers. general trigger warnings related to the overall themes and content of the anime and manga apply. additional trigger warnings for gore, anxiety disorders, depression etc. please proceed with caution i'm too tired to even write this out so i'm not going to remember all the triggers.

03. shipping & nsfw. shipping is my favorite pass time, but kakashi has always been fickle. That said he's pan and will remain so. as far as nsfw, i usually fade to black and move things to discord if continued.

04. activity. due to my physical, mental health, & irl obligations this blog is slow response & low activity by default.

05. following. i don't interact with personal blogs and minors. both are blocked on sight. if you ever decide to unfollow, please hardblock me.

06. face claim. uh. I don't have a live action one and never will most likely. i'm also just not going to make icons, find gifs.... listen i'm just as tired as kakashi is.

07. interactions. i'm heavily plot focused & dynamic oriented. i don't post starter calls and primarily use prompts as a jumping off point to start a thread or give us an idea to plot from. all prompts / ask memes + plotting calls are fair game to mutuals & the prompts i reblog never have an expiration date unless otherwise specified.

08. credits. i stole right under his nose as he watched and gave me the link this entire block of text that I then edited for my needs. @b1oodburned

sup, yoh, eh. i'm atlas, or trying to go by it anyways. my partners often have to get me off the floor because i'd rather sit there then a couch. i'm 33 years old, i'm tired and i'm doing my best. i love rp but am mostly here to just write again. i live in pst time am a person of color. my pronouns are they/night terror/ sleep paralysis demon/ last thing i see before i die. i live in varying modes of chaos, detailed organization sprints, and constant music intake. feel free to reach out, i bite but you're not near me. was this cringe enough?

oh and it gets better. so much better. for whoever needed to read it.

[tundrabound]

IMAGINE A STORY, NOT GOOD AGAINST EVIL BUT OF NEED AGAINST NEED AGAINST NEED [...] *#TUNDRABOUND. a very low activity & selective skyrim-centric multimuse lovingly curated by jove (21+, EST) follows from @turnandface

prompts. pinterest. opens.

RULES AND MUSE LIST UNDER THE CUT !!

RULES

ACTIVITY. tundrabound is a very low activity blog, my main multimuse will be my consistent priority. It is a fun little side project and I will be here as the inspiration strikes me. This is said not to discourage followers, I just want to be upfront.

CONTENT. I am very much a believer that you are the curator of your own online space. While some of the same serious subjects may not crop up here as they do on my main multimuse; there will still be possibly triggering content on this blog, including, but not limited to violence, gore, death, drug use & more. Viewer discretion is advised!

FORMATING. I use x-kit rewritten (editable reblogs) to clip threads and keep my dash neat. I ask that you use the same. I don't use any particularly fancy formatting; I default to small text. However, I am always happy to readjust font size if needed. There will likely be little use of icons in threads.

SHIPPING. some characters (ri'shardul is a great example) have NPC spouse(s) in some timelines, but not others. These timelines will have a note attached and are not a common occurrence on the blog. Flirting is okay, some of these characters will most likely try and flirt with your muse. This blog is multi-ship, all relationships exist within their own verse unless it is specified otherwise! Don't be afraid to send shippy memes or tell me if you want to ship! There's only one way to test chemistry. USFW will be present and will be tagged as "SUGGESTIVE … HELGA'S DAEDRIC BOOTS."

INTERACTIONS. memes I repost here do not have an expiration date, feel free to dig through my meme tag. I ask that you please specify the muse(s) when you send memes. I tend to prefer pre-established connections to first meetings. Anything can be an icebreaker if you're brave enough.

GENERAL. you must be 21+ to interact. general rules apply, no heavy godmodding. mun ≠ muse. I may offer other fantasy verses for muses if they are already preexisting on their bio, but otherwise this is a primarily skyrim focused blog! Thank you for taking the time to read all of this, now to the fun part!!

[whoree321]

I am not sure if you have done this already, (if you have, you can ignore it) BUT... I'd love to see some NSFW headcannons for Tech...

i have not done this yet but i am frothing at the mouth at the opportunity! the lust that i feel for that man is indescribable

nsfw tech headcanons

warning: if the title wasn’t clear, these are literally just dirty dirty sex thoughts. X rated shit. if filth of this nature is not suitable for you plz don’t read<3

first and foremost it is very very important for me to say that i know, with 100% confidence, that tech is the best at sex of all the bad batch members

i understand this may be a controversial take. some of you may disagree. i don’t care.

the reasons that tech is the best at sex are threefold

1) tech does not tolerate being anything less than exceedingly proficient when it comes to his knowledge and abilities in any given subject of interest. regardless of the occasion, he won’t accept a below average performance from himself. tech has put in the hours, on and off the field (if you will), to ensure he is well versed in anything and everything to do with sex and pleasure. and he’s always anxious to experiment and learn more

2) tech is not hindered by shyness in the bedroom. when he knows what he’s doing, tech is confident (borderline arrogant), and as stated in reason #1, he KNOWS what he’s doing. tech may be a blushing, bashful mess when it comes to the emotional aspects of a relationship, but once y’all start getting hot and heavy he loses pretty much all of that. he knows he’s gonna show you a good time, and he’s excited

3) tech is also not hindered by pride in the bedroom. he has a very holistic view of sex (seriously he did a lot of research, he knows every school of thought regarding sexual intimacy), and he understands it in both a physical, theoretical way and also in a more emotional way. his main concern is mutual satisfaction by any means necessary, but if you’re in a relationship he’s also very interested in using sex has a way to like strengthen your connection. tech has no interest in being some kind of macho, alpha male that can conquer you or something. he’s not gonna limit himself to certain positions or methods to try to preserve his sense of masculinity. he wants you to feel good, and nothing is off the table. he will explore anything to enhance the experience (like seriously anything- we will get into that in a bit)

so for those reasons, i think tech is lowkey a sex god

whether or not you’ve had sex before when you and tech get together, sleeping with him for the first time might as well be your first time ever

because you did not know sex could really be THAT good

and that’s before he has the opportunity to really learn your body and figure out the best ways to pleasure you

i think that for a hot second, sex with tech is always a little bit of an experiment

he’s obviously focused on you and the moment, but he’s also doing research. (with your permission) tech will literally take detailed notes, he’ll record you so he can watch it back and analyze his performance like a professional athlete or something. he’s keeping track of how you respond to different things, how fast he can get you hurtling over the edge with different positions, paces, toys, etc.

side note: he loves toys. tech will modify toys (or fully build his own) based on both of your specific needs, so that even the toys yall use are designed with maximum efficiency

that’s really the only flaw with tech in a sexual sense: he’s really really methodical in the beginning, and it can sometimes take away from the genuine passion of the moment

once he’s satisfied with his research and feels confident in his knowledge of your body tho, it becomes wayyyy more natural and intimate rather than a science experiment. he’s solid in his physical knowledge of you, so he’s more focused on enjoying the moment and having fun

it’s almost like he needed to memorize the best way to fuck you and do it over and over until he didn’t need to consciously think about it before he could fully let himself go with you. there’s a notable transition when sex goes from being a technical mission for him to achieve your orgasm, to being a mutually/equally passionate, erotic experience

tech is a switch and you can’t change my mind

he usually assumes more of a dominant role, enjoying having you begging and whimpering beneath him, but he also loves when you take the reigns and have your way with him

i don’t think he’s the horniest of all the batchers, but he most certainly has a plentiful sex drive

when y’all haven’t had a chance to fuck in a while tech is secretly incorrigible

to the untrained eye, he’s good at keeping it to himself, but it’s very obvious to you. he goes out of his way to be just a little too close to you, his eyes linger on you just a little too long, his hands find their way to be touching you more than normal

he’s usually really easy to tease, but especially when he’s like this

literally you just stroke his forearm and whisper something lightly seductive in his ear and he’s pulling you into the nearest private space and absolutely rearranging your guts

circling back to what i said about tech becoming less scientific and more passionate during sex as time goes on with you, i think that also applies to dirty talk

i think he’s generally pretty vocal in bed, but it takes a little bit for him to nail the sensuality of dirty talk

at first, it’s not something he can really do that sounds very natural, like it comes out just a little too technical sounding

but once tech gets comfortable with you and really lets himself be fully vulnerable and open to you, he’s actually really really good at it. it still sounds just a little formal, but in an endearing and sexy way

he loves to tell you how sexy you are, how beautiful you look, how well you’re taking him, how good you feel

this man def has a degradation kink (specifically with intelligence)

like he doesn’t even really realize it himself until one time he’s testing out his newest toy on you and he asks you how it feels and you can’t even string together a coherent thought, much less a sentence, and he notices and starts asking more and more questions just to see you struggle to think of a response

and then he’s putting the toy down and going absolutely feral on you, pounding into you and saying that you’re just a cock dumb slut, that you’re so desperate and horny for him you can’t even think, that it’s so easy to just just absolute filth and he’s so condescending and arrogant about it

you both finish almost synchronously and after the aftershocks have passed and you’ve caught your breath, the two of you can’t help giggling a little bit as you comment that you weren’t expecting that to be as hot as it was, and he agrees

and omg if you uno reverse card it and do the same thing to him? he’s a fucking mess

like you’ve been torturously edging him, and every time you get him to the brink you ask him some sort of complex mathematical question or something, and he’s so wrecked he can’t spit the answer out so you say something like “aww i guess you’re not as smart as i thought, that’s ok baby at least you’re still pretty”. he’s a whining, shaking mess by the time you let him cum

(once he pulls himself together he definitely gets you back for it too)

also i think tech really really likes to leave hickeys on you exactly in the most precarious places. like he knows the exact measurements of where your clothes cover your skin and he loves to leave marks like right on the edge so that it’s mostly hidden but if anything shifts it’s visible

if any of the the other boys notice and tease you, he gets the most smug little grin on his face. once you have a second to yourselves, he saunters over to you and apologizes, but you know he’s happy to remind everyone that you’re his

overall i am just so fucking horny for this man like i just know tech is a phenomenal lover, he’s so focused on you and is just so good at all of it i would give anything to take him to pound town

[MAJOR TGAA SPOILERS] How TGAA characters would sing We Don’t Talk About Bruno

It was easy to assign parts to characters - it all fits so well, it’s almost a summary of case 2-3 in a song. In order of appearance:

1. Genshin Asogi: Bruno

The unfortunately knowledgeable, the falsely accused - who if not Genshin would be the focal point of the song? He touched the lives of so many people in the story - and the memory of him was forcefully buried.

2. Ryunosuke Naruhodo and Susato Mikotoba: Mirabel

This one is easy: they’re our narrators, strangers to the plot, to whom others describe their perspectives - and they also (albeit metaphorically) put the puzzle together.

3. Herlock Sholmes and Yujin Mikotoba: Pepa and Félix

No matter how you view their relationship, the “frantic and grounded” energy is quite undeniably there. And just like Pepa and Félix’s part comes first and estabilishes Bruno’s “killjoy” nature, Herlock and Yujin are one of the first people affected by Genshin’s actions after previously having a good time in London.

4. Kazuma Asogi: Dolores

He’s haunted by the mystery of his father’s death and he knows more than you might’ve suspected - like Dolores who grew up constantly hearing Bruno and feels sympathy for how misunderstood he was.

5. Esmeralda Tusspells (with Enoch Drebber and Courtney Sithe): Camilo

Exactly like Camilo with Bruno, Esmeralda revels in the spooky scary aspect of the Professor. Drebber and Sithe also experienced it more or less directly, so it would be fitting for them to join in here - and having the 2-3 trio in one place is always a good enough reason.

6. Maria Gorey, Tobias Gregson and the British judge: the townspeople

This part is silly even in the original song, and even more so now, as the subject has become, well, murder... anyway. Ideally I’d assign a longer and more meaningful part to Gregson, but the game does poke fun at his consumption of fish and chips, so he’ll appear as the “he told me I’d grow a gut” man. The judge is bald but wears a wig like the priest (?) in this part. I initially had no idea who could be the fish owner, but it kind of fits Maria?  And she probably has met Genshin, but very briefly. It was strangely difficult picking minor enough characters for this part...

7. Barok van Zieks: Isabela

Ah, the bittersweetness. Barok considered Genshin his friend, and most likely received words of admiration and encouragement about becoming a prosecutor - “he told me that my power would grow”. Similarly to Isabela, the promise of a “perfect” life was right in the worst way, and now he’s crumbling under the pressure to maintain his reputation. Miscellaneous: “grapes that thrive on the vine” is a very Barok-appropriate comparison.

8. About the final pre-counterpoint verse

Abuela Alma has a single line in the song, so I have to give her a character too. Considering the main antagonist role, it should be Stronghart. The next character to sing in this part is Dolores, and her “the man of my dreams would be just out of reach, betrothed to another” can be applied to Kazuma with some tweaks: the “another” is Isabela/Barok, so the metaphorical “man” is the everything Kazuma wants and Barok has but doesn’t want - the attention focused on him and the power to enact vengeance. Finally, Isabela’s “Hey sis, I want not a sound out of you” is similar to how Barok used to shut Ryunosuke down.

I don’t know about you, but in my mind I can clearly hear the song performed by the characters... ah, if only I could make animatics.

*+:｡ ....aaaaaand some explanation, since there’s a lot of conflict between some of these bolded/italic selections, which I’m sure seems a bit odd:

first and foremost: honey is, in her own words, a “lover, not a fighter”— and as much as she’d say this jokingly in passing conversation, it’s true on deeper levels. in most settings she doesn’t enjoy fighting at all, only takes it in stride as a ‘necessity’ (in verses where it’s commonplace). she doesn’t like getting hurt, is a big crybaby, and just generally hates when people are angry enough at her to instigate some kind of violence to begin with. hence why her first instinct will always be to try and avoid a fight to begin with, to run away early, if possible, or deal just enough damage to ensure a quick getaway.

in low-stakes fights, she’d be openly pathetic. pouting, crying, implying she was far more hurt or exhausted than she is, hoping to garner pity and/or levity. hence the ‘exhausts quickly’; she’s tired of it before it starts... but the “truth” of the matter is a little more obtuse.

Honey is, at the end of the day, fae-folk. The “half” means very little in practice, as, in terms of body, mortality, and potential, she’s basically identical to her mum before her. she doesn’t like to take a beating, she doesn’t like to be in fights, and she doesn’t like to be a threat in turn— but she can meet any and all of these needs, at the end of the day. so when the stakes do get high; when the situation is serious— that’s where the high-pain tolerance, durability, and restraint come into play. 

quieter than she ever is otherwise, and generally more focused, but just as wild and explosive. she’ll always be mindful not to hurt anyone outside of the fight, but otherwise is a bright little bundle of frenetic energy, and the surrounding environment will likely show as much. she’s still highly emotional, and distraction is a big weakness, but she won’t make it easy on someone.

...oh, and, as for the “transformation” element, it’s not a massive one; just the appearance of usually-concealed wings, general shimmer/radiance, maybe some point to the ears and color to the eyes. the more magic exerted, the more fairy traits emphasize.

but yeah, fights dirty and generally takes any advantage she can, honorable or not, because she just wants this shit to be over with.

tw: mental illness & suicide, abuse implied.

rosemary  — rosie, as most people tend to call her  — grew up in hope as the youngest with three older brothers. their parents separated when they were around seven years old, and a lot of their childhood was spent going back & forth between her parents’ houses. eventually, rosie’s dad moved away because he remarried a new family. so technically, they have a couple half-sisters but don’t consider them much of anything.

her mom was a musician, a struggling one, but rosie always admired her nonetheless. they remember going to shows at tiny, sometimes empty, venues with their siblings  — though rosie’s mom looks back on them with a bit of sadness, those are some of rosie’s favorite memories. naturally, they also started playing instruments at a super young age and hasn’t looked back ever since ! can play all sorts of instruments, and it’s a super random list :-)

due to their mom’s profession & their dad taking himself out of the picture, their family always struggled with money. their mom tended to live with her head in the clouds a bit, focused more on pouring herself into her music than her four kids

at a young age, rosie was diagnosed with anxiety & eventually severe depression, and they couldn’t tell you a time when their life wasn’t affected by mental illness. to make matters worse, with their mother always pre-occupied with something and their brothers desperate for any form of attention from her, and jealous when it went anywhere else ( namely, rosie ), rosie’s siblings took it out on them. essentially, they grew up as a punching bag & object of amusement for their siblings

they weren’t the most outgoing, or the best at asking for help. at school, they usually just kept her head down and got through the day. rosie attempted suicide at the age of fifteen, which, as you can imagine, really fucked them up long-term. they stopped going to school for a while, social circle dwindled in size, struggled to find motivation to do much of anything

by the time they were graduating, rosie had no idea what they wanted to do, but knew that they desperately needed to be somewhere else. on a whim and full of doubts, rosie applied for a small college in washington state, and got in to study creative writing. after their first year, they dropped out

they stayed out there for a couple years longer, never telling their family abt how they dropped out ... instead rosie attempted to focus more on music, playing random small gigs, filling in for bands here and there, while also working as well. rosie’s desire to become a musician full time only became re-affirmed - they now knew what they wanted to do, it was just a matter of how to get there

rosie eventually joined a band, and somehow they actually gained some traction. the band went on tours, and were on track for their Big Break. after a couple of years, due to a lot of conflict within the band, it all fell apart. 

after that, rosemary moved back to hope ! they’ve been back for three years now, hopping from job to job, never very good at committing to anything, sort of just accepting that this is their lot in life. they still make music on their own & do tiny shows, but it’s really more of a pipe dream now. 

[thedetectiveofinaba]

Because I have an coffee elitist daughter, these headcanons apply to her in terms of coffee, tea (and Junes):

Naoto wanting to buy a coffee bean grinder after finding out that produces better quality coffee and owning one when she temporarily moves to Inaba. Also mainly using coffee beans to prepare coffee when she gets that opportunity is sth she isn’t hiding if asked.

She only likes the most expensive and/or special coffee options at Junes Food Court since they don’t taste like “gas station coffee”. She is less picky with tea options with the exception of the cheapest option.

Naoto usually prefers a semi-dark roast (3 in the scale of 1-5) in the main verse, P3 AU & Post P3 AU and both light and semi-dark roast (2-4 in the scale of 1-5) in AU verses.

In P5 AU verse she prefers semi-dark roast and uses coffee to have a drink she can use to dull out the frustration she’s had for years. Sometime during the verse she starts to try out other coffee brands and starts to like light roast more than dark roast. 

She eventually stops drinking black coffee with no milk and low quality corner cafe coffee since it reminds her of her former coping mechanism. She simply refuses to drink that and always asks if she can have that as not black.

In addition to quitting black coffee she’s trying to cut down her caffeine intake for the health benefits and not drink coffee every day. She still uses coffee, batting ring at Tokyo + shooting range at Kyoto as a stress coping mechanisms if her normal coping mechanisms (breathing exercises, focusing on sth else or leaving the situation temporarily) don’t work.

Main

Jade is a skilled forensic tech currently employed with the New York Police Department (Detroit in some plot instances). She works with evidence and data analysis on a daily basis including high profile homicides. The tech employs cutting edge technology to base her findings and explore critical DNA clues in lieu of detective investigations. 

While working in the major lab unit at the precinct, Jade also attends scenes of crime depending on severity and uniqueness of perpetration. Most times she resides on site working extensively in the evidence room at times with hazardous materials if not at a particular crime scene.

She is a country girl thriving in a big city. Nothing ever changes in a sprawling metropolis but the ways of technology are enduring. She takes this into consideration as she maintains a professional and skillful approach to analyzing crime. 

Jade is not one to shy away from the grim seedy side of the city. At times she dives in headfirst. All part of her trade, she gets her hands dirty in DNA. Living and breathing the thrill of solving another crime.

College

Jade’s college days unfold while she starts out in the midst of her studies to become a full time criminal forensic technician. She minors in med science coinciding with her strive for knowledge in criminal sciences. Her affinity for these subjects gives her an opportunity if she decides to switch majors. It is something her father encourages but Jade’s mind is set on entering the field of investigative sciences work. This would land her a position at the police department which is a goal she strives for. However, he is none too happy with the idea. Her struggle to convince her father this is a good decision puts a strain on their relationship. After all she’s just entered the big city through college attendance. He thinks it’s too dangerous. She believes it is a lucrative career and the chance to better forensic tech and apply herself is one thing she focuses on.

She maintains this outlook while going through a bad break up with her boyfriend of the time. Too much pressure and a whole lot of backstabbing with her best friend dampened that whole thing. Jade is careful, cautious and only befriends those who gain trust. She just isn’t here for drama or lying. She’s here to make something of her life.

Unfortunately it doesn’t prevent the strain with her father. This is the time of her life that things drastically change. Culminating in a car accident, Jade goes through the loss of her father during this time. It puts more anxiety on her shoulders. Mostly she dives further into her work and keeps busy by pushing ahead. It’s the only thing she can do.

Fae

The fae realm lives in a secret world. Only those who dare to cross those fated tales of faerie rings could possibly chance to enter. Most mortals do not fare well if they do. However there is talk among fantasies of humans spared among the fae folk. Whether this is fact or mere fiction is up for debate. Fae themselves are mystical beings. Among humans they are pure fantasy but they are very much real. 

Four courts make up the true realms of faedom. Each represents a season and Jade is the rightful queen of the Fall Court. A fae of earthen magic and natural mysticism, she holds an affinity for all things plentiful of the forest. Nature is her call, power a gentle cast but she is no mere waif of a fae. Test the Fall Queen and she will unleash wrath upon those who threaten not only her court but those of her heart. 

Jade herself is quite old ranging from 1300 to 1500 but her youthful beauty does not dissipate. Her pure magic makes her glow, donning silks of emerald and white lace. Colors of the purest heart but a heart filled with a warrior’s song. Her power is great. Yet she sees a rival in the Winter Court’s queen of ice. Jade’s vendetta against the ice queen comes from her meddling in the other courts including her own. However, it was the framing of a young fae by the hated old ice fae that fuels Jade’s ire.

Famous

Jade takes to the scene of the runway and falls into the glitz of fame. Taking a carefree and fashion forward approach, she strives for women to be treated fairly in a world run by men. Her views are met with a new wave of female empowerment and soon she is noticed by Hollywood.

She has a knack for acting as she moves into television spots and soon a few guest roles on various tv programs. That sucessful turn springboards her into motion pictures. Taking her stance on women paid and treated equally in the film industry to new heights, Jade is a voice for young girls who dream of becoming actresses. A role model who has no qualms speaking her mind on the real issues plaguing Hollywood.

Mafia

City glam is all the facade a gritty underbelly of criminals need. This is no different for the drifter in heels. Jade might have been born in the country but she sidles into the seedy city with a flair for crooked connections. A life of crime is not what she expected but her hands are clean as far as she is concerned.

Jade wasn't always into the criminal sphere. She was just an ordinary girl working in an accountant's office. Getting into the dealings there by word of mouth, she took information on the boss' illegal activities. In turn she became a mole of sorts when crossing paths with some shady patrons of mob. During her nights out at local lounges and bars, Jade passed on some information quickly gaining attention from the seedy side of life as a reliable source. She becomes a regular modern mafia moll.

Royal

In the medieval era Jade is a lady of the Red Kingdom who traveled there with her father as a little girl. The famed clothing maker is made the royal dressmaker and his daughter is his trained apprentice. Once he begins having difficulty with his hands, Jade begins taking over the task of making clothing for the royalty. While they were not a rich family, her mother dying of fever years before, they have a place in the realm working so closely for the royalty.

However, Jade has no love for the royalty. Their cruel and greedy ways reflect even as she grows up with the Bloody King now a fixture on the throne. she feels trapped and further is devastated by the death of her father. Now as the sole dress maker for a tyrannical king and his subjects Jade must find a way to flee before war comes calling. Or worse. She becomes another victim to the Bloody King's madness.

ROY’S GENSHIN IMPACT VERSE.

CURRENT POSITION.

Inazuman name is Oda Kaworu, an alias, just like his modern name. DOUSHIN at the INAZUMA CITY POLICE STATION under the TENRYOU COMMISSION.

His primary functions are patrolling, guard duty and taking care of more short terms cases for the people of Inazuma.

Kaworu also seems to not have anything in life but constantly be working or doing something related to his military or samurai duties. His serious and stern personality do not help this general vision of him.

However, given his combat proficiency, Kaworu tends to be sent not on larger cases, but on very hands-on matters such as everything involving forcibly taking a vision under the decree both in the city and its border. When the military is in need of reinforcement for internal matters as the warfront asks for more and more resources, Kaworu is the first man to be sent by his yoshiki.

Kaworu’s natural strength despite his more slender stature can also be considered coming from his TENGU HERITAGE. In terms of age, one might consider him to be as old as Yanfei.

As part of this heritage, part of Kaworu’s skin will turn a MARKED DEEP RED PATTERN alongside a LARGE PAIR OF WHITE WINGS. Traits he keeps entirely hidden under any circumstances for his own reasons. When fighting to kill, his marking appears under his uniform : if it is ever noticed, he simply shrugs it off as tattoos.

Bearer of a HYDRO vision and wields his own TENGU KATANA which, in appearance, looks like the most standard of blade.

BACKSTORY. Extremely barebone with a focus on the origin and nothing else in terms of major events, given Kaworu’s characterization is being incredibly secretive.

His mother was forcibly taken by a Tengu and later gave birth to him after she escaped. Upon seeing her child’s skin, she entrusted him to shrine maidens before committing suicide in Chinju Forest.

As a toddler, Kaworu stayed with the shrine maidens until his Tengu appearance subsided and he was then entrusted to an orphanage in Inazuma City where he grew up. Given his muddy background, he was never adopted, and took on, despite not, in his mind, doing anything in particular for it, becoming the Big Brother figure there.

Kaworu was a very tranquil child who never misbehaved, to a worrying degree. Fitting this pattern, very early on in his life, he yearned for order and discipline, separating himself constantly from the other kids, avoiding the noisy crowds to eventually constantly walk out of the city despite being forbidden to. There... he met his father.

Kaworu learned the blade from his Tengu father and traveled the world until he disappeared. However, he’d still train, becoming a self-taught swordsman. Kaworu never actually participated in wordly conflicts. When he did, it would always be in isolated cases, with short terms consequences, having a knack into helping out forgotten soul who’d provide shelter and meals for him before he moved on.

As the Shogunate influence grew larger and larger on his homeland and making a name of yourself becoming more and more inevitable, Kaworu enrolled in the military, living in the Tenryou commission’s barracks. Eventually, he was appointed to the police station with the hesitance to give a youngster (as he presented himself a mortal wanderer) a position on the frontline, and he never left from there onwards.

MISC.

Even for someone who is a Yokai, Kaworu never seem to sleep or take breaks. If he met another Tengu, a Kitsune, or any other of his kind, they’d be worried. When he is not on his shift at the police station, he is still working or training.

Kaworu appears to be cold and apathetic, but he’s not, he’s actually very empathetic of others, he’s just more of the type to tunnel vision and focus on things he can control... which means the second what he focuses on break, he might lose it.

Kaworu is found to always be in his officer armor, or the clothing underneath.

Kaworu has not had his vision taken away (yet) is due to his “outstanding” record in “actively” enforcing the vision hunt decree : as long as he doesn’t disappoint the Shogun like Kurosawa did, he can keep it until he’s found useless. Kaworu has been suggested to apply for higher positions in the police forces. He refuses, and actually continue travelling and investigating in his free time, preferring to work by himself than with others. This extra time spent hunting vision owners has been taken note of.

Elemental Skill, Demonic Enforcement, has Kaworu dash forwards, becoming one with the element of Hydro, slashing onto its target multiple times with Hydro dmg in the form of what appears to be hydro clones, unable to be interrupted before appearing behind his target who becomes marked with Sentence. Once the skill is triggered again, Kaworu puts his blade back in its sheath, triggering a staggering burst of Physical and Hydro dmg from all previous hits at once.

Elemental Burst, Cursed Punishment, has Kaworu’s hydro wings appear at his back, shortening Kaworu’s Elemental Skill cooldown and reducing the damage he takes while inflicting Sentence. The mark of Sentence can be stacked up to three times on the targets affected, raising the damage of its trigger exponentially.

Kaworu’s charged attack does a single large AoE slash in front of him, staggering enemies.

In terms of meta, Kaworu is a main DPS, Hydro sword four stars character. With each of his Constellation unlocking more and more Tengu effects.

AU is Multiship(?) until further notice.

Who Was the Center in Each BTS Era? (Up to Permission to Dance)

As an opening statement, I’m gonna advise anyone reading this to look at my blog to see if I’ve done this with the B-sides yet because I plan to in the future, which should be a pretty interesting post.

So, this post is exactly what it sounds like. As if I haven’t gone through the BTS eras enough on this blog (and I will continue to do so), we’re going through them again because sometimes I just wanna binge all the BTS music videos. What we’re gonna do is look at a few different options for who ended up being the center--if their was one--for all the BTS eras. 

Those options will be: no center, center, co-centers, secondary center(s), and MV center(s).

Before anyone else says it: I know Jungkook is the center of BTS, but BTS have always been really flexible with their positions, and believe it or not, Jungkook isn’t the sole center most of the time. So, that’s why this post can even be a thing.

A couple things to bear in mind here: this is not based on line distribution. This will apply to the B-sides more than the singles, but there are times--even with BTS singles--where one member may not be the most represented within the song, but they were clearly chosen to center or co-center the song. Of course, more times than not, the center or centers are the most represented, but not always. There’s one high-profile one toward the end in which that is the case. Obviously, when I say “secondary centers,” that means that the member isn’t as prominent in the era as they would be if they were a co-center, as this would mean they and one or more of the other members are equally sharing the load.

This list also has zero to do with biases. I bias Taehyung like nobody’s business, but--and I’ll say it upfront now--he’s not been the center in very many instances (at least, not in the BTS singles; if you’d like to know about his time being the center in the B-sides, check that post out). Also, I’m considering almost all aspects of BTS’s eras when making these decisions. I’m thinking about the MV, I’m thinking about the choreo, I’m thinking about the vocal; the only thing I’d say I’m only considering sometimes is the marketing. I’m not going out to do a bunch of research on how BigHit advertised these songs to people for this post, so there won’t be a lot of talk about photoshoots or interviews or anything like that. That being said, I’ll probably talk about it when we get to Dynamite because the marketing for that was everywhere, and it’d be difficult not to know which member(s) they were pushing the most to sell that song.

Finally, as you can see by the above list, I’m going to be mentioning a MV center or centers--if it applies--for each MV. This is, obviously, something that can’t be done in the B-sides version of this post. The reason I’m adding it here is because there are quite a few examples of BTS MVs that really heavily feature a certain member when they aren’t that prominent in the vocal or the choreo. However, as the MV is also a part of marketing for the song, whichever member(s) were chosen to be the face of the MV have an important, central role to play. In fact, in many ways, the members that end up being MV centers without being a center in any other way often become one of, if not the, face of the era for a lot of fans. So, clearly, the MVs hold a lot of weight, and can sometimes overshadow the actual track for many people.

DISCLAIMER: Most of this is based on how I perceive the face(s) of these eras. Some of my conclusions are weird, and I can’t explain them, but it’s what I feel is true about these songs. Ergo, yes, there’s gonna be songs where two members have the same part, but only one feels like a center. Sue me. All the members have their different ways to shine, and that’s what makes BTS the best.

Center: Namjoon

Namjoon just feels like the center of No More Dream. If you’re listen closely to the vocal, he’s obviously a big foundation for the song to stand on since he’s got all these supporting parts. Those parts add up to make him the member--no questions asked--with the most airtime in No More Dream. That’s not really why I chose Namjoon for this position, though. No More Dream really felt like an introduction to BTS with Namjoon as the MC. I guess a better way of saying that is that Namjoon really came off as the leader of BTS in this era. So, I didn’t really have to think much about who I was giving this position to because it seems obvious.

Secondary Centers: Jimin & Jungkook

So, I feel like some people would say Jungkook’s the center of this era, and that’s fair. The reason he’s listed as a secondary center here is because he didn’t feel like he had much in-your-face presence; it was more like, if you were looking for Jungkook, you could find him within the song and the choreo easily. I don’t know if that makes sense. It’s not like the chorus is a background piece or Jungkook’s rap verse isn’t fire, but he just isn’t as prominent as Namjoon is.

Jimin is much less of a secondary center than Jungkook in the No More Dream era, but if you consider the choreo, Jimin is extremely prominent. It’s one of those situations--which happen more often than you might think--where a member doesn’t actually feel that present in the track itself, but if you are visually consuming it in any way at all, that same member sticks out the most. That’s how Jimin is here.

No MV Center

I thought hard about whether Jimin and Namjoon should be in this category because of the insert shots, voiceovers, and the choreo, but I think that has more to do with the entire package of the era than it does with the MV alone. The conclusion I came to was the MV doesn’t have a center. This section probably seems redundant, but it’ll make more sense once we get to an era that actually has an MV center or two.

Center: Jimin

This one’s probably pretty obvious to most people. I mean, this is a Jimin era. Usually, eras that are so heavily weighted to one member are Jungkook eras, so it’s interesting that the We Are Bulletproof Pt.2 era was such a Jimin era. I don’t know how to go into this further, but Jimin’s got the most parts--parts in the chorus, namely--so Jimin’s also the center in the choreo the most. I mean, I know this isn’t about taking the person who has the most airtime and giving them this position, but sometimes the eras do translate literally like that, and thus is this one.

Secondary Center: Namjoon

I was surprised, going through the MV, how much Namjoon appeared like a secondary center. I’m realizing that, for most of BTS’s early career, Namjoon was an important anchor for BTS’s music. That’s how it was in We Are Bulletproof Pt.2. It’s because all these parts that seem more like part of the beat than actual, singable parts go to Namjoon, so his presence runs underneath the entirety of the mix.

No MV Center

I know it seems dumb to talk about this when I say there isn’t a center in the MV, but this is kind of where I get to talk about the other members and how they fit into the era like, for instance, if any of them were close to being considered a center. Surprisingly, We Are Bulletproof Pt.2 is kind of the exact opposite; it didn’t seem like the MV really tried to enunciate any member specifically. Like, even in No More Dream, you could tell Namjoon was featured a lot, but this era didn’t do that. I found that interesting. I guess it’s probably because they were all just dancing on a chess board, but ya know.

Center: Jungkook

I couldn’t tell you why I don’t co-center Jimin with Jungkook, but Jungkook really feels like the face of this era. I don’t know if it’s the fact that he starts off the song--after Namjoon’s intro--or because he starts the choruses or what. I guess it might be because it’s a chorus that repeats during its two halves, so Jungkook’s voice is the one you’re going to pay attention to, since it comes first. Plus, this song was obviously produced to compliment his vocal tone because his voice is, not only layered under the other members’, but has more punch to it than the other vocalists’, as well. By that logic, clearly Jungkook was supposed to be the center for this era.

Secondary Centers: Namjoon & Jimin

So, as far as Namjoon goes, it’s the same thing I’ve said already: he’s working as the foundation for this song by filling in all the extra bits that support the track. Jimin, though, I wasn’t planning on adding--and I’m not really adding him because of the choruses. By the end of the N.O choreo, you’ve got Jimin in a central spot to finish off the performance as the instrumental closes out. As that part is so long and so clearly focused on Jimin, I couldn’t not put him down as a secondary center.

MV Center: Jungkook

Here we have our first MV center. Now, I will say there are stronger examples of an MV center, but Jungkook was obviously the main character in the school scenes of this MV. Of course, the school setting didn’t last the whole MV--and it’s not like the MV stopped and turned into a short film for a quick second like we’ll see later--but Jungkook still stuck out.

Co-Centers: Jimin & Jungkook

So, I really struggled trying to pick out which members were the most prominent in this song, but we’ll talk about why with the next member. Jungkook and Jimin are the centers of this era for basically the same reasons. Both of them are on the chorus, and--more importantly--both of them stick out in the chorus. Both of them have these opportunities to be charismatic that they use really well, and both of them are out front during the choreo most of the time. It all adds up to them giving off “center energy.”

Secondary Center: Taehyung

I really thought Taehyung would be a co-center, as well, but he disappears halfway through the song. To be clear here: if we’re talking about the parts that Taehyung had in this song, and if those parts had ranged the entire song, Taehyung would be the sole center of this era. Like, watch any performance of this song, let alone the MV and dance practices, and tell me he doesn’t give off center energy. Anyway, after his parts are over, Taehyung falls to back of the dance formation and effectively vanishes--which is a real shame because he makes this era for me. Enough of my biased rambling--long story short, the first half of Boy in Luv has Taehyung as a center, and the last half doesn’t. A secondary center is the option that meets in the middle.

MV Centers: Jin & Yoongi

Straight off the bat, because of the scene during the bridge, Jimin and Jungkook are also kind of MV centers, but I’m not looking for “kind of’s” here. Jin and Yoongi were the ones who had the flirty scenes with the actress in the MV, so they stuck out a whole lot. It created a bit of a story around each of them and their characters in the MV, and the other members didn’t really have that.

Center: Jungkook

Who was jumping out their skin being surprised by this one, am I right? I mean, if we even talk about the choreography alone, this would be super obvious. When I first started learning about idol groups, this song is what I thought a “center” meant. This is obviously no shade to Jungkook himself because the members probably didn’t really have a hand in who was getting the most airtime or how much airtime that would be in comparison to everyone else, but BigHit really wanted to push Jungkook for this song. 

I guess it was probably because he’s the youngest, he has a clear and soothing voice, and he’s the exact type of boyfriend material that’s easy to sell to young fans. I know this song has deep meaning that came from Yoongi, but the way this song was presented was so fluffy and soft, and my guess is that Jungkook fit the bill to be the face of it.

No MV Center

I mean, yeah, Jungkook stuck out the most, but that was because of the choreo, which is already covered by the center position. As far as the MV itself, no member stuck out more than another beyond the choreography. Jin, of course, does have his moment with the rose, but a.) that’s a part of the choreo, b.) it wasn’t long enough for him to be considered an MV center anyway, and c.) that piece of choreo can’t even make him a secondary center because the vocal line distribution was so heavily tipped in Jungkook’s favor--again, not throwing shade at Jungkook; just stating how the song is divided up. The long and short of it is that, while the choreo had central-ish parts for Jin and definite central parts for Jungkook, the MV didn’t do anything more with them than with the other members. No MV center this time.

Co-Centers: Jimin, Taehyung, & Jungkook

Just to give myself a backdoor here in case I change my mind on this later, I’m gonna say that I was sure the 95s would be secondary centers here, but after watching the MV and really paying attention to the choreo and line distributions, I think all three members of the maknae line stood out equally during their parts. Actually, the 95s do have a stronger vocal presence than Jungkook does, but Jungkook owns the choreography, so it more or less balances out.

I will say that Taehyung doesn’t feel as prominent as Jungkook does on the chorus, so that’s what made me want to put him down as a secondary center. However, the post-chorus is absolutely enough to make Taehyung stick out like Jimin and Jungkook. Jimin--dare I say--is the most center-like out of all three of them as far as general feeling goes. Again, considering everything, they’re all equal, but Jimin really reads like a center in Danger.

MV Center: Taehyung

All the members have got their individual scenes in the MV that are used for the inserts, but Taehyung’s scenes were clearly supposed to be the central ones since they, you know, ended the MV with him cutting his hair off. Even besides that, though, Taehyung’s parts in Danger came along with the best camera work and set design. I mean, there’s a better way of saying that, but I don’t know what it is. Like, go the MV and look at the first post-chorus so you can see how they framed Taehyung during that part. That really made him feel like the central member in the MV.

Center: Taehyung

This is one of two (or few, depending on when you’re reading this because new music is always coming out) eras in which I can 100% say for certain that Taehyung is the sole center. If we’re talking B-sides, that number might increase a bit, but as far as singles go, Taehyung really does not get the opportunity to be the sole center that often. Anyway, explaining this would be like explaining the obvious. The brief for this era was “impish bad boys that look like they’re thirsty as fuck.” And Taehyung fit the brief.

No, but seriously, BigHit clearly wanted to sell War of Hormone as a song by a bunch of punk kids that have just a little bit too much fun, and if 2014 Kim Taehyung wasn’t a little punk, I don’t know who would be. Not because Taehyung’s actually a womanizing asshole--Taehyung’s clearly the softest and kindest person ever to exist--but because he can tap into that sensual and mischievous type of character really easily. He’s an actor after all. Plus, there’s the whole “sexy growling thing” they obviously wanted in the vocal, and Taehyung’s the go-to member for that.

Secondary Center: Jungkook

Here’s why Jungkook is the War of Hormone era’s secondary center: they needed a cute member to calm the whole thing down. I’m now going to put myself in the mind of BigHit as they were producing this track.

“We can’t have Taehyung out here killing everyone with his growls and his expressions and that tongue thing he does. We’ve clearly gotta put a soft bad boy character in there so this song doesn’t entirely decimate our fanbase. Put Jungkook in.”

In the same way Taehyung fit the super-duper bad boy brief, Jungkook fit the cutie pie bad boy brief, and that was needed to balance out Taehyung’s parts in this era. All vague descriptions aside, Jungkook was used as a support for Taehyung in the War of Hormone era, or that’s what it felt like, at least--despite Jungkook having more airtime. If, in any universe, Taehyung ever went easy on us, this era could’ve been a co-center era for the two babies of BTS. However, Taehyung chose violence, so Jungkook didn’t get a chance to pop out as much. Considering their overall discography, though, I’d say that’s fair enough.

MV Center: Taehyung

I’m mostly saying this because of the end of the MV where the actress--or her character--picks him, but also, Taehyung’s stage presence in this song kind of makes him the MV center anyway. Not the choreo--even though he’s the center of that for a lot of the time, too. I’m talking about his attitude, his expressions, his gestures, and on and on. That kind of made him the central figure, for me. Plus, you know, Taehyung got the girl or whatever.

Co-Centers: Jimin & Jungkook

This song is so freakin’ weird because Jungkook has exorbitantly more airtime in the studio version of I Need U, but Jimin features really heavily in the choreo because they give him most of Jungkook’s final chorus when they do it live--which obviously means that Jimin centers in the choreo the most. So, it’s like: listen to the song, and Jungkook’s the center, but watch it live or in the dance practice video, and it’s Jimin. Either way, both of them read like centers to me. Even though Jungkook is in the song a lot, and therefore, has a big presence, Jimin’s vocal is the one I associate with this song because it fits so well while sticking out just a skosh.

MV Center: Taehyung

Most of me was thinking that there wouldn’t be an MV center for this era because every member had a story that ends up getting carried into the Wings album era, but then I remembered that the original MV for I Need U literally stopped everything dead so Taehyung could hit his in-verse father in the head with a bottle. And then, after that and a couple seconds of showing a few of the other members, the MV cuts back and forth between hardcore violence and Taehyung laughing with the other members. 

The MV goes, “Wow, look at this. Taehyung’s so happy. Oop, now he’s stabbing his father with a broken bottle--oh, he’s happy again, that’s nic--oh. Oh, no he’s back to stabbing his father--no, look, he’s happy, so... Damn, that’s a lot of blood.” I mean. I don’t know if they knew already that Taehyung was good actor or what, but BigHit nearly gave him a short film all to himself. So, yeah, I’d say Taehyung takes the center position for the I Need U MV.

Center: Jungkook

I’m kind of naming Jungkook here because I feel like I have to, but I want you to know that the For You era is really close to not having a center, in my opinion. It’s more so the parts they gave Jungkook that made me put him down as a center. He starts the song, he ends the song, he’s got the first chorus, and there are parts where you go, “Oh, they’ll probably let that member sing here,” and then you get to the next line, and you’re like, “Ah, no; they went with Jungkook.” That’s not a bad thing, mind you, because Jungkook’s vocal is perfect for this song; it’s just that Jungkook had more airtime than the other members by a good bit. Again, I’m not making this list according to that, but it’s gonna be a factor in a song where every member sings on the choruses.

MV Center: Jungkook

Do I need to go into this a whole lot? Jungkook’s trying to get money to see this girl he likes, so the whole MV is about how the other BTS members are struggling alongside Jungkook but put together the means for him to go see the mystery girl. That’s the K-drama, and Jungkook is the lead. I mean, fair enough; Jungkook could definitely be the lead in a K-drama.

Co-Centers: Jimin & Jungkook

I know this is a hardcore Jungkook era, but Jimin sticks out, like, a lot. At the very least, you’ve got to credit the choreo to Jimin in the same way you would for Jungkook. I mean, yeah, Jungkook’s vocal pierces the entire song, so he’s obviously going to center for this era. He’s a forefront figure in the choreography, as well, and putting him in that costume for the MV is essentially assault. However, I think Jimin managed to make his presence just as big through the choreo and his unique vocal tone. So, I’ve got to give the Dope era’s center position to both of them.

No MV Center

Since this MV is basically just the choreography, I can’t say Jimin and Jungkook were centers just because they were the choreography leaders for Dope. Actually, I thought the overall MV was almost equally representative of each member since they all had a different concept with their wardrobes.

Center: Jungkook

I mean, Jungkook just permeates every single cell of RUN. The choreo, the vocal, and nearly everything else are extremely centered around him. There’s not really a whole lot else to say. When there’s such a large difference between line distribution for the members, it makes it obvious that that member will be in the center of the choreo most of the time, as well. That’s the case for Jungkook in the RUN era.

Secondary Center: Jimin

This era is a little bit like the I Need U era, but Jimin doesn’t stick out quite as much. He does stick out enough to be considered a secondary center, though, because he’s also highly represented in the vocal, so he’s got mirroring parts in the choreo. Jimin doesn’t have as much of a focus in this era as Jungkook does, but it’s close.

No MV Center

I thought this would be like the I Need U MV, but it really wasn’t. You’d think Jungkook’s the center because of the bit where the camera zooms in on him while everyone is partying, and then the rest of them are gone, but there’s also several bits where Jin has close-ups while he spaces out. Or maybe Jungkook could’ve been the center because, after the music stopped, he looked back at the camera. But that can’t be it either because Taehyung had bits like that of him falling into and coming out of the water at the beginning and end of the video. Maybe it was Jimin because he got pulled into the room toward the end of the MV, but it was Namjoon who was pulled in at the beginning. Basically, they were all well represented, so there’s no center to speak of.

No Center

This song isn’t really supposed to have a center, is it? I mean, we can talk about who had the most airtime, but that’s not what this is about. I think this song was supposed to be a message from all the members, so one member wasn’t going to stick out more than others. That’s just how it goes sometimes.

MV Center: Taehyung

Taehyung being the MV center is stretch, and I know that, but he does have bit of a role that makes him stick out at the end. It’s kind of like Jungkook being the center in the For You era--it doesn’t feel totally accurate to give it to him, but it also feels inaccurate to not give it to him. There’s that little bit at the end of the MV where Taehyung steps out of the maze at last and the other guys are waiting for him on the other side. Taehyung’s also the one to look back at the plane or camera or whatever at the very end; basically, Taehyung gets more solo shots in this MV than any other member, as far as I can tell without actually counting, so he takes the center position.

Center: Taehyung

I wasn’t actually planning for Taehyung being the sole center for this era, but I feel like I can’t really justify anyone else co-centering with him. Taehyung does feature fairly heavily in the choreography, but a lot of the reason he ended up the solo center for the FIRE era is because of the part he was given. As someone who had heard “bow wow wow” everywhere before even knowing what K-pop was, I’d say it’s safe to call Taehyung’s part the most globally iconic--though Yoongi’s part is obviously the most iconic within ARMY. Plus, the end of FIRE is almost a full minute of just Taehyung’s solo with group vocals around it, so. I mean, he’s got hella presence in this era, no doubt.

Secondary Centers: Yoongi & Jungkook

Initially, I thought Jungkook was going to co-center with Taehyung because Jungkook is extremely centered within the choreography, but the “eh eh oh eh oh” part feels more like a supporting piece--which is absolutely fine, by the way. However, Jungkook is pretty damn close to being a center for the FIRE era because his vocal is absolutely everywhere, and he’s the center for most of the choreo. As an aside, I kinda wanted to add Jimin in this category because of the 333, but ultimately, that wasn’t enough to support him being a secondary center, for me.

Yoongi, I’ll be honest, I’m kind of putting in here because he feels like a center for the era after all the attention his opening line got. If I’m looking at the choreo or even the vocal, Yoongi doesn’t stand out as much as it seems (though his verse in FIRE is one of the best rap verses in BTS’s discography; fight me about it), but the fact that he opens and closes the song has a large overall impact on my perception of the FIRE era. Yoongi is definitely one of the faces of FIRE, at the very least.

MV Centers: Jin & Yoongi

So, though Yoongi wasn’t the main center for this era, in my opinion, the MV does make it seem like he is. Which, I guess, is mostly because of the opening scene before the music actually starts. But whatever; Yoongi still sticks out regardless. For Jin, I don’t know if it was because he doesn’t have that much airtime or what, but the scenes in the MV that focused on Jin were really focused on Jin. No other member got that kind of solo within the MV, so Jin’s parts seemed like they were meant to be special.

Co-Centers: Jimin & Jungkook

I don’t know how to explain why this is how it is, but this is how it is. It’s one of those eras where the amount of airtime does predict the centers because of how much more airtime Jimin and Jungkook have compared to the other members. I mean, that’s what a main and lead vocalist are for, I suppose, but it ends up with these two being pushed so far forward in the Save ME era that you can’t really make room for another co-center. They’re also the two with the most central pieces in the choreography, but that’s obvious with how much airtime they have. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, either, because BTS’s discography celebrates all the members at one point or another. It’s just that Save ME was a song that suited Jikook the best, so they’re the obvious centers.

No MV Center

Since this is an MV that’s literally just choreography, there’s obviously not going to be an MV center. I mean, if you wanna say that Jimin and Jungkook’s parts meant they had more close-ups, and so they’re the MV centers, then fine, but that’s a bit of a cop out.

Center: Jimin

This is one of the few--maybe even less than that--clear Jimin eras where Jimin is the only center. It’s not really that he has so much more airtime than the other members, but Blood Sweat & Tears is a song that just fits Jimin. He actually doesn’t have much central time in the choreo until the end and at the beginning, but it’s another one of those feelings I’ve got. I’m not saying this to alienate the other members because I actually do have my own opinions on who owned this era (check that post out on my blog, by the way), but this song makes Jimin shine the brightest. Every member has a song that does that for them, and this is Jimin’s. 

Secondary Centers: Hoseok & Jungkook

Are you screaming at me for not considering Hobi a co-center? In the studio version of Blood Sweat & Tears, I’d probably put Hobi in as a co-center, but considering everything from the track to the choreo to the live performance, Hobi’s presence is just a touch smaller than Jimin’s. Just a touch. Like, they split his post-chorus with Jungkook live, and Hobi isn’t really a center in the choreo after a certain point, so it’s a bit like Taehyung in Boy in Luv.

As far as Jungkook goes, he’s not really a strong secondary center for this era, but he’s enough of one that he has to make this list. Part of it is because of his additional parts in the live performance and the choreo, but it also feels like Jungkook was meant to act as a visual and performative support for Jimin. I don’t know if that makes sense to anyone else, but it does it me.

MV Centers: Jin & Taehyung

I was gonna put Jimin here, too, but he only got that one shot at the beginning where Yoongi covered up his eyes that felt like it was really Jimin-focused. Taejin, though, had their own little mythology film going on. The Blood Sweat & Tears MV is the prime example of “this member doesn’t actually have much going on in the song, but the MV is all them, baby.” That’s how it is for Jin in this era. A lot of people say Jin is one of the ones who owned this era, and a lot of that has to do with the MV, what with the statue-kissing and all.

Tell me why I don’t feel like Taehyung was as big of an MV center as Jin even though Taehyung had a shirtless scene with slits on his back where his wings apparently used to be. I don’t understand, either. But I’d say a shirtless scene with wing slits is a pretty good reason to be included as an MV center.

Co-Centers: Jin, Taehyung, & Jungkook

After consulting the choreo because, you know, the MV doesn’t have it, I came to the conclusion that, both vocally and choreographically, these three are the centers for this era. Spring Day was initially an era that I thought didn’t have a center, and I don’t think it does have a super defined center, but I do see Jin, Taehyung, and Jungkook as the more prominent members. For one, the choreo really clearly centers around Taekook more than the other members, but there’s also the fact that all three of these members really stick out in the vocal itself. I landed on these three for my co-centers, but Spring Day is really close to not having a center at all.

No MV Center

I thought this was going to go to Jin because I thought I remembered him featuring in the MV a lot more, but he didn’t really. Actually, I’d say Taehyung and Jungkook are closer to being MV centers since the beginning has a little scene with Taehyung before the music starts, and there’s a bit around the bridge in which Jungkook has some solo-ish focus, but those things still aren’t quite enough for this position. All the members had their own inserts and settings, so it felt fairly equal all around.

Center: Jungkook

This was another era I was sure didn’t have a center, but Jungkook’s extremely prominent. Actually, I thought, if anything, the rap line would center in this era, but even they don’t seem nearly as prominent as Jungkook. It’s just that the lyrics are really repetitive for the vocalists, and Jungkook bleeds through all the vocal line parts. At least, it really feels like he does. As far as the vocalists go for this era, Taehyung’s vocal is the only one that sticks out, aside from Jungkook’s. But Jungkook’s vocal sticks out above all the other members--in terms of prevalence, mind you; the best parts of this song are obviously the rap verses. As such, he’s really active in the choreography, as well. It felt like I, more or less, had to give Jungkook this era.

Secondary Center: Taehyung

I can’t tell you why I’m putting Taehyung down. I was about to move on from this section, and my brain said, “Think about the chorus,” and so, I ended up here. This is all about that feeling I’ve talked about already. I think it’s because Taehyung’s the one that starts the chorus, and he’s got really powerful choreography to go along with his already powerful vocal. It makes his presence in the track and the live performance feel a lot bigger.

No MV Center

I mean, yeah. It’s a choreography-driven MV. When you’ve got the bits with them running or whatever, Jungkook centers a bit, and Namjoon kind of feels like an MV center, too, but a lot of that has to do with the choreography being shot the way it was. It’s the same with Taehyung since he got some great framing during his choreo parts. But prominent choreo parts do not an MV center make.

Center: Jungkook

I mean, there’s not really any way to get away from this one. I don’t blame BigHit, though, because Jungkook’s clean vocal is literally made for bright pop songs like this one. It makes sense that they’d want to use a vocal that blends in with the instrumental so well. As we know, the vocal affects the choreo, so Jungkook felt like a strong foundation to this song that the other members built upon. I don’t think many would argue that Jungkook is the sole center for the DNA era.

No MV Center

Can you believe I’m not putting down Taehyung, Hobi, and Jimin as a type of center, even though most people think this was Taehyung’s era, Hobi’s best work, and even though Jimin is the only other member on the chorus? Somehow, even though they all feel prominent in my memory of this era, diving back into it revealed that Taehyung is only prominent in the intro, Hobi is only prominent at the end, and Jimin is only prominent on the first chorus. How weird, right? They’re all almost secondary centers, though.

Anyway, that had nothing to do with the MV center, did it? There isn’t a true MV center because this MV is mostly the choreo. However, Jungkook is the closest one to being the center, simply because he’s got that little whistle bit at the beginning. Obviously, one scene isn’t enough to list him here, though.

Co-Centers: Yoongi & Hoseok

Don’t ask me why I didn’t put down Namjoon, too. I wish I could say something other than “because this is what felt right,” but that’s the situation. I’m sure most people would say Hobi is the sole center of this era, and that’s entirely fair, but I felt like Yoongi brought his presence to MIC Drop just as much as Hobi did. The two of them, more or less, have the same amount of time in the center for the choreography, as well. Again, I wish we could be talking about Namjoon, too, but despite him having the most airtime in this era, he didn’t feel quite as front-and-center as Hobi and Yoongi. His verse is still fire, though.

Secondary Centers: Taehyung & Jungkook

Should I be doing this because I feel like it’s true? I guess we’ll find out. I don’t know; it seems pretty clear to me that JK and Taehyung were meant to be secondary centers for this era since they got the most central parts in the vocal line the most often. I feel like this is partially influenced by the fact that both of them murder the choreo when they’re in the center for MIC Drop, but I really do feel like these two stuck out.

No MV Center

Let me tell you, though, if we were bringing choreography into this discussion, Taehyung in the MV would make this list easily. He’s so aggressive in the MV, you know? No, but, this is another choreo-based MV. You know the drill by now.

Co-Centers: Jimin & Jungkook

This one’s another obvious one for most people, I would imagine. Actually, at first glance, this looks like it’d be Jungkook’s era as a center, but Jimin has a lot of prominence, as well. The best way to describe it is that Jimin was the strong support he’s meant to be for Jungkook considering their positions as main and lead vocalists, as well as lead dancers. However, because of the refrain, Jimin then ends up also feeling like less of a support and more of a center in his own right. Basically, there was a lot of good give and take between Jimin and Jungkook for the FAKE LOVE era, which is why I ended up seeing both of them as co-centers.

Secondary Center: Jin

I’ll be honest--I don’t really get the feel of a secondary center from Jin in this era, but I can tell that that’s what he was meant to be. He’s very present in the vocal, and that translates to him being present in the choreography, as well--which ends with him in the center, if you recall. I don’t think this era is quite the era for Jin as a center, but he does still feature really prominently, regardless of how my perceptions may be situated.

MV Centers: Jin, Jimin, & Jungkook

This is another instance where I thought Jin was going to seem like a stronger MV center than he was, but it’s really the visuals of him toward the beginning-what with the windows shattering and all--that stick with you. I still think the theater of Jin’s scenes are enough to consider him an MV center. For Jimin, his piece wasn’t as stand out, but you can tell Jimin had extra focus on him when compared with Taehyung or the rap line. In the scenes between the last pre-chorus and the last chorus, Jimin did have a scene where most others didn’t, so he felt like enough of an MV center to include here.

Jungkook is probably obvious. He had a fairly long scene in between the last pre-chorus and chorus, so there’s that, but the overall MV seems to have more images of him than the other members. I imagine Jungkook was probably the main character for this story, though all the members had really cool set pieces and insert shots.

No Center

I really was gonna sit here and be like, “Oh, yeah! Namjoon’s obviously the center!” But, listen, everyone’s parts in IDOL stick out so much that I don’t think it’s fair to say that Namjoon was the sole center. In fact, I’d say Jimin is actually the closest thing to being a sole center in this era, but it’s really only vocally because, as far as the choreography goes, he feels just as well represented as the other members. Ergo, this era is too chaotic for any one member to take the spotlight. Namjoon is the face of IDOL, though. And, vocally, Jimin’s pretty damn close.

No MV Center

I mean, the chaos was too much. Yes, Jimin has special focus on the bridge and during the final dance break on the chorus, but again, that’s just one piece of the whole. At the beginning, you’ve got a lot of shots of Taehyung, and then you’ve got the rap line having multiple focuses since they have two verses each. Jin and Jungkook got some cool focus during their parts, too, so an MV center isn’t really possible to find.

No Center

Jimin sticks out the most in this song, don’t get me wrong, but that’s mostly because his vocal on the chorus sounds so special. It doesn’t exactly work out to be even in a literal sense, but the vocal line at least seem like they have equal airtime in this era since they all get to sing on the chorus. That meant that a true center wasn’t going to be a thing, especially since it’s almost one of those songs where every member has their piece and then they disappear for the rest of the song.

No MV Center

I mean, should I call Taehyung the MV center because of the beginning and end? I don’t think so, since it was only a few seconds each time, and the rest of the MV was choreography. I mean, Taehyung did kind of feel like the face of the MV because of that, but I don’t know that it’s enough of a reason to put him down here. He’s the only option for an MV center, anyway. Maybe I’ll feel the need to change this later. We’ll see.

Center: Jimin

I’m still convinced that this was supposed to be an era dominated by Jimin. We’ll talk about Taehyung in a second, but when I first watched the Boy With Luv MV, I thought that Jimin was the clear center. I still do, even though my opinions on who owned the era are a bit different. Jimin is pronounced in the choreography, but his vocal is exactly the right color for a song that’s this bubbly. The choreo obvious matters a lot, but I think Jimin’s voice, more than anything else, is the face of this era. I know that sounds weird because of what I just said about Airplane pt.2, but that era was more like, “Wow, Jimin sounds so unique,” and the Boy With Luv era is like, “Jimin is the song.” So.

Secondary Centers: Taehyung & Jungkook

Jungkook does not feel like a secondary center to me because I find that he gets lost a bit in the Boy With Luv era, but like in the FAKE LOVE era with Jin, I know that Jungkook was meant to be Jimin’s support for this song. Jungkook feels nearly as pronounced in the choreography as Jimin does, and his clear vocal serves to fill in when necessary for this pop track, which is one thing Jungkook’s vocal color does best.

Taehyung, though, for all intents and purposes, shouldn’t really be a secondary center since his standout parts are the opening to the choreo and the parts on the chorus he shares with Jin. However, I don’t think you can find me any ARMY that genuinely deny that Taehyung isn’t, at least, one face of this era. Most people I’ve seen discuss the Boy With Luv era ardently agree that Taehyung owns the era, no questions asked. Whether it makes sense within the standards we’ve laid out for centers so far or not, Taehyung, his vocal, and his visual absolutely dominate this era. In terms of being the face of an era, Taehyung may come out on top as the sole center, but for the purposes of keeping this list objective, a secondary center he shall be.

No MV Center

Again, like, this is another situation in which Taehyung would be brought up if we were talking about the choreography; so would Jimin. Their visuals are so heavily tied to this MV, but it’s all attached to the choreography. Outside of that, no member had more solo focus than another.

Co-Centers: Jimin, Taehyung & Jungkook

I know some of you will be upset that Jin isn’t in this list, and I understand. Initially, Jimin wasn’t going to be in this list, either, but his vocal felt like it fit the tone of this song the best. Actually, here’s how I came to this conclusion: Lights was made for Jimin’s vocal tone, but Jungkook and Taehyung clearly stick out the most. As such, Jimin doesn’t necessarily have less prominence than the babies of BTS, but the babies of BTS were strong in this era. Jimin still deserves to be a co-center because of how well his vocal fits this song, but Taehyung and Jungkook were fucking power vocalists in the Lights era, so they’ve got to be centers, as well.

MV Center: Jungkook

This MV feels a bit like the Magic Shop VCR; it’s a lot like Jungkook is frozen or lost, and the other members find him. It’s not so pronounced like it has been for other MV centers, but it was still clear to me that Jungkook was the main character for this MV.

Co-Centers: Jimin & Taehyung

I mean, this would be an obvious choice if you really listened to Make It Right. When we don’t have choreo for a song, we’ve got to look at the vocal, right? The 95s are all over this track. Admittedly, the live does take just a touch of that away from them during certain performances, but the studio version of Make It Right is littered with Vmin. First of all, their solos are pretty pronounced anyway, but even if you listen to the crowd vocal on the “Oh, I can make it right” lyric, you usually only hear Taehyung plus the rest of the members singing in a clump underneath him. And if it isn’t Taehyung you’re hearing on the main vocal, it’s Jimin. Or Jimin and Taehyung. Like, I don’t know if it’s because these two have the most unique vocal tones in BTS or what, but their individuality really shone in the Make It Right era.

No MV Center

Unless the MV center is ARMY? I don’t know; Make It Right is one of those stage mix MVs, so it wasn’t gonna have a real MV center anyway. Unless the MV center is that animated couple that’s in the original version of the music video? Nah, I like the the idea of ARMY being the center more.

Center: Jungkook

I don’t need to go to the MV for this because Jungkook’s got hella pipes that’s he’s using for a hella long time during the bridge of this song, and that’s so much center energy. It’s been a long time since we’ve had an era that feels like all the other members are about equal, and then there’s Jungkook. It is what it is, though; I mean, the man is the center of BTS, after all. If I’m being really honest, though, the bridge is the only thing that makes Jungkook the sole center of this era. If Jungkook’s solo on the bridge wasn’t a part that caused the rest of the song and choreo to stop dead, the ON era probably wouldn’t have had a center at all because I don’t feel like Jungkook was all the pronounced anywhere else in ON. I guess me putting him down as the sole center tells you how impactful the bridge was, though.

Secondary Center: Jimin

It’s the “hey na na na” line, you know? No, but really, both in the choreo and the vocal, Jimin is a big foundation for ON. I mean, obviously Jimin has parts besides that line, but even as a whole, Jimin feels like a part of the basic structure for, both the track, and the choreography. I’ve felt this way about other members in previous eras, and I don’t know how to explain it well; think of it as though Jimin is a part of the beat. It’s essential to ON’s sound, even though it may not always stick out as an individual piece.

MV Center: Jungkook

Jin did have a bit of focus at the beginning, and I almost put Taehyung down as an MV center because there was a good bit in the middle where it was literally just Taehyung, but the entire story of the MV revolved around Jungkook, like, escaping slavery or whatever. I mean, the man blew into a conch shell and ran up to the top of BTS’s Pride Rock; if that’s not MV center energy, I don’t know what is.

No Center

I’m gonna keep it a buck with y’all: the vocalists nearly all sound the same on the chorus of this song because of the effects on their vocals. It’s kind of cool, though, considering the message of the song. Like, the lack of individuality is almost an extra piece to the lyrics, but I swear to you, Taehyung is the only one who sounds distinct on the chorus of Black Swan. As such, no one could’ve really been the center for this song. As you can probably tell, the vocalists are usually the centers--if there is one--and that’s because they get the choruses, which repeat the most; they have more opportunities to be the centers. In an era where their uniqueness is stripped away, there’s not going to be a center.

Also, if you’re asking, “Well, if Taehyung is so distinct, why isn’t he the center?” the answer is: because all the vocalists have basically the same parts. Yoongi, actually, would be the closest, in my opinion, to being a type of center for this song, but the chorus is the base of Black Swan, and so Yoongi doesn’t quite fit, either. Nothing wrong with an era without a center, my friends. Just means more central time for every single one of our boys.

MV Center: Jimin

Clearly, this was going to be the case. I don’t actually find Jimin to be that prominent in Black Swan, but the MV is what makes everyone say Jimin is the face of this era. And there’s a good reason for that. The Black Swan MV is such a wonderful platform for Jimin’s gorgeous, gorgeous artwork. It was like a portfolio of his talent, and it’s absolutely captivating watching him dance. Of course, Jimin does have a small bit of centralization that the other members don’t have in the stage choreo, but the MV is where Jimin got to really shine. Black Swan is really the only era where, rather than a song fitting a members vocal, we got to partake in a song that complimented a member’s dance style. I hope BTS do more with this kind of combination later for other members because Jimin getting to shine like this was really lovely.

Center: Jungkook

There’s really no other reason for this other than Jungkook’s vocal is very nearly the entire song as far as vocals go. Again, sometimes airtime predicts the center, and in this case, Jungkook has, like, double the amount of airtime when compared to the other members. So, obviously, Jungkook representing this era was the overall goal. Stay Gold is another one of those songs that benefits from a vocal tone like Jungkook’s, so that’s probably why Jungkook got such a large focus for this era.

No MV Center

Taehyung’s the closest thing to an MV center since he’s got that bit at the end where the camera focuses on him while he releases magic from the tree or whatever. So pretty he looks in the Stay Gold MV, by the way. If you’re watching all the way to the end, it does feel like, “Wow, Taehyung’s a bit of a main character,” but it’s really only at the end. So, no MV center this time as everyone had really beautiful set pieces that got shown fairly equally.

Center: Taehyung

Call me biased; call me whatever you want, but Taehyung’s presence is so fucking strong in Dynamite. Yes, Jungkook has a lot, a lot of vocal focus; yes, he centers in the choreography the most, but have y’all seen Taehyung’s attitude? Dynamite is the second era on this list that I’m sure Taehyung is the sole center for. Here’s where we’re gonna talk about marketing a bit. Taehyung’s visual was used to absolute death for the Dynamite promotions. I’m assuming it was because the retro look was especially fitted to Taehyung’s style, but Taehyung was everywhere. Not to mention the parts in Dynamite Taehyung got were really important pieces of the song--such as: ending the song. The choreography, as well, though not centered around Taehyung, was absolutely dominated by him regardless because of the way he decided to carry himself in this era. I don’t know; maybe I’m seeing things other people aren’t, but to me, Taehyung was obviously supposed to be the face of Dynamite.

Secondary Centers: Jimin & Jungkook

I don’t think Jimin is as strong of a secondary center as Jungkook, but I do still think Jimin’s role in Dynamite was really important. It’s sort of because he was a foundational piece, but it’s also because Jimin came off as bubbly and fun during the Dynamite era, and I think that helped to sell the overall visual of the song.

Jungkook, I’m sure a lot of people will say, should be the center for this era. I feel like I can kind of tell that an attempt was made to have Jungkook be the center, but then Taehyung and his charisma kind of ended up blowing up once Dynamite was released. Jungkook, to me, has the true foundational pieces of Dynamite. The beginning of the choruses, for example, are the catchy parts of the chorus, but not the punchy parts of the chorus. You see what I mean? Jungkook did have the first verse, too, of course. I’ll say this: vocally, Jungkook is absolutely the center of this era. It’s just that, as a total package, he didn’t stick out quite as much as Taehyung.

No MV Center

I mean, the beginning makes it feel like Jungkook is the MV center, but every member has their own set and solo shots. Plus, you’ve got the improvised choreography and the insert shots where every member appears to be equally represented. I don’t really see Dynamite as an MV with a definite member at the forefront.

No Center

So, there is a definite excess of Vmin in Life Goes On, which I think is beautiful because their vocal tones are full of emotion, but I don’t think that necessarily means they’re the centers of this era. If we were going based on airtime, Taehyung would be the sole center because of the amount of airtime he’s got, but again, I don’t know that it’s fair to call him a center for just that reason--even though Taehyung is very prominent in the vocal. Mostly, Life Goes On is a song BTS is giving to ARMY, so it feels like they’re all singing it to us, and no single member sticks out more than another.

MV Center: Taehyung

Jin does have a bit in the MV, just before the final chorus, where the camera stops on him for a moment, but it’s only that one part, so I couldn’t really call him an MV center. Taehyung--in the original version of this MV, at least--was definitely the one leading the narrative. Most of the MV was the boys having fun or singing to the camera, but there were also the clips of Taehyung driving BTS around, looking at an arena, longing to perform; it seemed like Taehyung was chosen to convey BTS and ARMY’s feelings about the pandemic and how much we all miss each other.

Co-Centers: Jin & Jimin

I gotta be honest: getting a handle on the Film out era is kind of difficult because it feels like such a fragmented song--and that makes it beautiful, but it’s hard to pin down a representative for this era, even though it definitely feels like there is one.

Obviously, I’ve decided that there are two. Again, without choreo, we’re looking at the vocal. To me, Jin and Jimin’s vocal tones stood out the most in Film out. I found both of their contributions to this song to be absolutely stunning, but even being objective, Jin and Jimin seemed like they were supposed to be the ones sticking out this much. I assume that’s because this is a very ethereal song, and I think I can confidently say that no other member has the monopoly on songs that sound like Film out than Jinmin do. Jimin’s angelic adlibs and falsetto was the thing I noticed right away when listening to this for the first time, but the more I listened to it, the more Jin came to the forefront, as well. We may only have vocals to go on for deciding a center--especially since Film out wasn’t marketed much--but Jinmin’s vocals really took center stage for this era.

Secondary Center: Taehyung

I really don’t know what it is that makes me see Taehyung as secondary center for the Film out era and not Jungkook, but Jungkook didn’t feel that prominent at all, despite having written the song. Taehyung felt like the anchor for Film out, which is something I noticed within my first few listens. Jin and Jimin were definitely the shining stars, in my opinion, but Film out still needed Taehyung for balance. The last half of the song is where all three of these members shine the most, and I think it’s really clear that Taehyung’s vocal was able to add a depth of emotion to Jimin and Jin’s. I think secondary centers, to me, are the members I can tell are being used as supports for the center or co-centers, and that’s what Taehyung was for Film out.

MV Center: Jin

This is the exact opposite of Life Goes On, actually, because Taehyung was the one who was last seen in the MV, which makes it tempting to see him as an MV center, but Jin was the one present in the narrative for the whole MV. I don’t know what that narrative was for certain, but I think it was something like looking in from the outside and getting lost in some kind of metaphorical storm. Jin was the one doing all that. So, he’s the MV center, for sure.

Co-Centers: Taehyung & Jungkook

Jungkook is a co-center, in my opinion, because it feels like he was supposed to be. I can’t really pinpoint what it is about Butter that makes Jungkook a co-center, but he’s got airtime on every chorus, which means he’s gonna be prominent in the choreo, as well. That’s probably what it is, now that I think about it. The chorus is the money piece of almost every song, so Jungkook being chosen to be in each of the choruses is a big thing.

Taehyung--look, I don’t know what it is about Taehyung, but the fact that he went from a single line in No More Dream to being this central in one of BTS’s biggest eras is insane to me. Like, listen. Taehyung got to start and end two seperate choruses--which means he’s pretty prominent in the choreo, but he’s also prominent anyway because he’s nearly always in the front--and he got to sing half of each verse. That never happens with Taehyung. Vocally, Taehyung has the most “I’m the motherfucking center” energy than he’s ever had. Something about this era has Taehyung way out in front, and I think that’s so fun since he doesn’t always get that opportunity.

Secondary Center: Jin

I wanted to put Jin down as a co-center; I really did, but the slight difference in vocal prominence between him and Taekook is what made me give him the secondary center position. Jin is still really prominent in the Butter era, though. I thought Jin really outdid himself with his vocal tone in Butter, and he’s been killing the choreo every single time they perform. Jin really does feel like one of the faces of Butter.

MV Centers: Jin & Taehyung

I wasn’t gonna put down an MV center, but didn’t Jin and Taehyung’s MV scenes stick, like, way the fuck out? Jin in that lineup scene did me in, for real. I wasn’t thinking straight for days afterwards. Plus, he’s got that scene during the second verse where he’s in that chair, looking like he owns three islands, and that feels like super big MV center energy. Then, you’ve got Taehyung in the elevator, which is one of his sexiest MV scenes, period. The attitude on him, I swear. The orange suit was the end for me, honestly. I know I just talked about how hot Taejin are, but the way they carry themselves is why it felt like they stuck out in the MV more than the other members. I feel like I can’t deny them the MV center title.

No Center

This is another song that isn’t really supposed to have a center, you know? Permission to Dance is meant to send this hopeful message to ARMY and people around the world, and I just don’t think a center was necessary because the center is BTS as a whole. At the very least, no one really stuck out to me as a sole, or even, co-center. It felt like all the boys shared the load of sending us this message, so I can’t put a center down for this era. I think, for a song like this, though, that’s a pretty damn good thing.

No MV Center

Again, this was really an equal opportunity kind of era. Other MVs have really focused on each of the boys having their own set, and one member often sticks out because of that; the Permission to Dance MV, though it had solo shots of each member, was mostly just the boys, all together and having fun. I mean, Jungkook had that solo dance bit, but that wasn’t enough to sway me.

Okay, that’s it, for now. Let me know what you guys think in the replies. I tried to keep my opinions out of this because I was just looking for which member(s) BigHit was trying to use to sell each era. I’m excited to do this with the B-sides since there’s only vocals to go on, but doing this for the singles was super interesting. Thanks for reading!

CATS-Omegaverse thoughts

you read the title. Omegaverse/ A/B/O under the cut. Keep scrolling if that isn’t something you like. All sfw and non ship-focused. also nb4 inevitable transphobia comment. I am a trans man lmao die mad.

CW// Talk of pregnancy, Talk of mpreg

Obvs I have no plan to use outdated wolf pack dynamics when it comes to a colony of anthro cats.

I’m just using Alpha, Beta, and Omega, no Gamma/Delta/etc lol

General ‘verse setup talk:

Alpha + Omega=75% chance at an alpha or an omega, 25% chance at a Beta

Alpha + Beta/ Beta + Omega= 99% chance of a Beta, 1% chance of an Alpha/Omega (depends on the non-Beta parent)

Alpha women can impregnate; Omega men can get pregnant

 Omega mpreg is v hard to attain/maintain, and these pregnancies are always at higher risk. Not gonna say any more here aliudhlifshu

Alpha women can only get pregnant by another alpha, regardless of sex, or by a Beta man)

Nothing special about Betas on that point, a beta woman can only get pregnant from men/alpha women, Beta men cannot get pregnant.

(pregnancy talk here is cisgender focused just for clarity. Ofc these things do apply for trans ppl as well. the main takeaway you need is: Every Alpha can impregnate, every Omega can get pregnant, and with Betas it’s like our own world. Omega Trans women can get pregnant with increased risks; Alpha trans men have far less physical risks getting pregnant. Alpha trans men and women can both impregnate. Beta trans women can impregnate Alpha women. Alpha trans men can get pregnant under specific pair ups)

Alphas and Omegas have distinctive scents. Betas have a scent too, but only Alphas and Omegas can smell it. Betas can only smell Alpha and Omega scents when they become overpowering, or else have a v sensitive nose + train themselves to smell them.

When it comes to individual family groups, it’s expected that those are headed by an alpha/omega pair, or a beta/beta pair. Single parents get side eyed, as do any atypical pairs.

-Most A/O families are expected to have multiple kids.

When it comes to large groups/colonies, interpersonal heirarchies are allowed flexibility, but it’s expected at least one alpha heads the group for safety’s sake.

CATS specific stuff (Mainly, who’s what):

Alphas:

Munkustrap, Bombalurina, Rum Tum Tugger, Jennyanydots, Tantomile, Cassandra, Tumblebrutus, Macavity, Victor, Bustopher Jones, Plato

Betas:

Alonzo, Skimbleshanks, Jellylorum, Rumpleteazer, Mungojerrie, Electra, George-Pouncival, Gus, Grizabella

Omegas:

Jemima, Pounce Carbucketty, Etcetera, Coricopat, Mistoffelees, Demeter, Old Deuteronomy, Victoria

???:

Hysperia (Exotica)

Character Notes:

Alonzo wants to be an alpha. He buys scent masking cologne. He always puts on way too much to be convincing bc he doesn’t stop until he can smell it

Pounce Carbucketty is the one Omega in a home full of Betas. It’s caused more tension the older he’s gotten.

Mistoffelees tends to steer clear of Alphas as a rule, tho he will make exceptions.

George Pouncival wants to be an Omega like his friends.

Cori and Tanto are Hysperia’s children. No one knows who their other parent is. No one knows what Hysperia’s type is. She likes it that way.

Plato v much looks the part of a stereotypical alpha but he definitely doesn’t act it.

Deut has both sired and carried children. Munk is the last kitten he carried himself.
