#and i feel like his fans on twt are giving him an ego about it

[rat-rosemary]

Okay but seriously, now I'm realizing that yeah, Quackity had been acting weird for a while before he ghosted his friends, but it's still really fucking weird?

Like obviously it's bad on an ethic standpoint, cutting off friends when they're in danger and need your help in specific

But even without that it's still so weird? I'm really losing hope that he will talk about it and give his side at all but like... man what the fuck happen to you? Because this all screams "I should have talked about it with someone before it bleed into my relationships"

[topconfessions]

I’m not even a bp fan but i’m on kpop twt and it just always bugs me seeing tweets/ppl in general painting this image that J is a social climber and being all misogynistic just bc she dates men that are literally on the same level as her. I completely agree with everything you just said except for the fact that GD was a win for her, yes maybe he introduced her to important figures fashion wise (chanel to be specific) but that was literally it. She was held back during their whole dating time frame, the only time she was publicly seen was with blackpink and even then, L was the one who was pushed the most. Bey started dating Jay Z when she was literally nothing so you cannot compare her situation to the bp girls, yes L doesnt have that big of an impact in fashion either but she still could pull another respective brand on her own without that man (that doesn’t mean shes not using him to get even higher lmao) the same way jisoo pulled cartier (bc of BP’s name). J was just as big & maybe even bigger than GD when they started dating and with his group image being ruined & him being 8 years older than her it affected her career negatively and there’s no way she needed him at that point, i truly believed she only dated him just to live the fantasy of dating your idol.

Bey was already from a popular girl group. She was not nothing. If this was Ashanti I'd agree with you as she was highly pushed by the labels to be aaliyahs replacement but held in there thanks to her own sound.

You must be new cause I've clearly handed bigbangs ass to them and if anything I am now a former fan of theirs and GD was never my bias or idol, in or out of the group. So unless you're speaking in a broad spectrum on the last sentence of "dating your idol" i.e upsetting fangitls everywhere, you're inaccurate and sorely mistaken if this affects me or I personally care about Jiyong like that. He's a fucking twig compared to me in real life, that's someone I could never date even if I was interested and had access to him cause we're so physically and emotionally different.

That is opinion based. You're allowed to feel that way and "truly believe" that but that's asinine and goofy, you know it is. You think this successful girl now woman only dated GD to upset a nation of kids and others for an ego boost? In the real world they vibes, had some things in common and grew close naturally like all couples do, Maybe attraction too. The only person in Korea we know of that literally fucked or dated someone to piss fans off living the "fantasy" is seo hee who messed with top, she said it out of her own mouth.

So we can say what we think but let's not put what we think as facts.

This isn't a comparison it's an analogy and reference point, I stand on what I said and I can compare the two if I want to. If anything bey needed Jay more than Jennie ever needed GD. Also speaking on Jennies "level" is literally subjective cause she scored and was always secured in ways her other female peers older and the same age as her wasn't in other agencies cause she was / under YG. I'd say HyunA in my opinion is objectively more on GDs "level" than Jennie could ever be. Having access and sharing the same space as well as work place as someone with means doesn't make that person on your level. Never forget that truly where truly created, Blackpink, to give why a pretty feminine easily marketable and more youthful girlgroup that he lacked the entire time that could go up against the likes other SM and others. He wanted something completely different from 2NE1 and so anyone in her position would been where she is now had she not made the cut for the line up.

Where would Beyonce ever be today if she didn't have Jay showing her the ropes and turning onto the game of the industry? There is a lot of dirt and stories the average doesn't know or concern themselves about bey and them.

Anyways, the point still remains. There is nothing wrong hypergamy, social climbing ir just dating men at the same ranks as you or in the same circles. That's life. It's to he expected but it's becoming highly apparent that any responses about this is primarily based on favoritism or being interested in Jennie as a fan and liking her. I need to hear this same sentiment you're responding with as if you don't know who Jennie is and only gave passively watched her career - I need something objective.

this is also why kpop is considered a shit hole these days outside of us, the fans who love it and understand it, cause you can't say anything objective or negative about groups like bts or BP without arguments or heavy debates. We had fun here talking about Jennies path in dating and now its turned into a "she's not a gold digger social climber" resistance. It makes me no difference how she lives because I am not Jennie and don't aspire to have a career in entertainment.

As for GD? he is a win just like Jennie was a win for him in many aspects. How you take that is on you. Also this is Tumblr. Kpop twitter is its own separate entity. We're here. Not there. I don't care about what's going on there unless legit dirt is leaked there. So let's not bring kpop twt into this to transfer it into this convo as if me or anyone else here frequents that shit hole in the first place.

At the end of the day it's not serious for any of us and if you're defending Jennie for how many perceive her, you need to take a hard look at why this is in the first place. 7 Years from now she won't matter as much and she's be looked at the way 2ne1 and hopefully wnwd is looked at currently.

Kpop is microwavable and I can name 15 groups that were IT back in the day nobody talks about or cares about anymore cause they aged out and their fans are old & mature now. You won't gain anything from this just like I won't.

[peppermintbuttlemon]

i gotta add to the discourse bc you keep taking the literal thoughts from my brain and i love it (same soho anon from yesterday getting my unmoderated goss fix in since ive gone off the grid online - so this is long)

i literally only like him bc i think he’s cute imma be so real w you. (he is mid i know my friends dog on my terrible taste all the time and he fits my tragic pattern) i saw him in game of thrones in 2019 and was like hello and wanted to slide into his dms but was not possible bc no ig (that we knew of lol) and it became a whole joke with my friends that my celeb crush was some rando who was in game of thrones for 3 mins and then when he was in ST it just became a whole bit. when he did a con by me it was a literal 2 minute walk from my house so my friend and i went just for the plot and he was actually nice when i took my photo. idk it also might have just been early so he maybe had pep in his step but i was going to leave and he stopped me mid walk and said “thanks for coming” (obvi the standard to be polite) and i literally just said “ok” bc i was hungover and that dystopian ass JC Penny portraits curtain cubicle was disorienting me LMAO. i will never ever go to one of those things ever again. then like an hour later saw his big head active on raya.

re: weirdo fans

i have literally talked about this on other goss blogs bc it rubbed me SO WEIRD and everyone dogged on me for saying it/it was mentioned/denied in some twt thread but one of the weird fans mentioned before was hanging out with a girl that literally jogged after someone on his team and was like “what i don’t get a hug???” like you’re so bizarre but okay. they can deny it all they want but i literally watched it sitting on that musty ass convention center floor. y’all ain’t gonna gaslight me w that!!! i literally could give you a police sketch description of them if i had to💀

i feel bad for ppl that had bad experiences when they pay for it (and i know he made BANDS on those cons. like a ridiculous amount) bc clearly it means more to them than it did for me but in regards to like in public or on the street meeting him and being upset - yall gotta realize that ppl don’t you shit just bc of what they do for a living. i’d be too embarrassed to go up to someone and be like “yeo love your work” while they’re just trying to get from point a to point b or eat dinner

re the reminder that he’s just a south london dude:

there is a type!!!! they all act the same as someone who’s dated 3 of them (i have no self control and clearly do not learn from my own horror stories) they have the same attitude, ego, mindset, etc. and i have come to the conclusion that if i actually knew him irl id probably hate him or try to argue with him for fun because of it. i live to humble men and at the end of the day he is just a man!!!! a man who is basically a glorified theatre kid when you think about it

re: https://www.tumblr.com/peppermintbuttlemon/741588680956952576/httpswwwtumblrcompeppermintbuttlemon74157782

can say i do not recall what he smells like but my friend always says he looks damp so we do call him a name about it (i don’t wanna add just in case someone on twitter recognizes that it’s me lmao)

DAMP 💀💀💀😂😂 oh my god I love it!!

So what’s the south London guy thing? What are the symptoms of this disease? 😂

[dystopiandilfs]

HERE'S AN MCC RANT/DISCUSSION POST. FEEL FREE TO DISCUSS OR ADD ANYTHING. NEGATIVITY AND DIFFERENT OPINIONS ARE WELCOME. (Unless you disagree with me 👹 /j)

No disrespect to any other MCC players or the hate they receive because of toxic fans however I think out of every single competitor Dream deserves to rant like a little bitch the most.

Most of the MCC Reddit and fanbase in general hate him, some of their reasons are valid however downvoting every comment or post that remotely is nice to Dream is weird especially if it's got no actual mention of Dream but is an opinion that Dream also has (Buildmart /neg) especially as the Reddit claims to be less toxic than Stan twt yet seem to cry over any opinion related to Dream. (Newsflash that behaviour is just as toxic as twitter saying Niki shouldn't be in the event if she just cries over letting her team down)

Not to downplay any past toxic behaviour from Dream (MCC9) but he definitely ends up with the most toxic bitches up his ass which is definitely not deserved and people saying he's just egotistical is low-key weird. Yes he has a bit of an ego however that's a good thing. I'd rather be self confident in my abilities than constantly see myself as a failure and honestly the people I see getting mad at Dream being proud of himself are some of the most insecure bitches and honestly do you hate Dream or do you hate that he doesn't hate himself like you hate yourself.

Getting excited because he's lost his passion for MCC which means he's not in it is gross especially because of why he no longer enjoys it. I mean someone sent a false police call to his house mid event (which based on private things he's previously shared could very easily be a traumatic event), people waste thousands of dollars to buy spam bots to fuck with him and his streams, he has this insane amount of pressure being the biggest streamer and being stuck with the reputation of being a top player because if he's not first place people hound his ass saying he's bad at the game and doesn't deserve to be in MCC, if he gets first people try to place all the credit to his teammates or claim other competitors are scared to face him because of his deranged fans. No wonder he doesn't want to be in an event if all he gets is hate no matter how he plays. You know its bad when the dwt2 subreddit thinks the mud counter would reset every MCC day.

I'm sorry but if he wants to answer a public open question on Reddit about who he thinks is the GOAT of MCC he's allowed to say himself and give reasons without it being a ego trip. It's gross to see people respond to his comment with "actually this person beat you in this event and this person stats are higher than you" all because of a fucking opinion. Like if you want to uplift another competitor then post your own comment instead of trying to downplay someone else's achievements.

Yeah he's definitely been a toxic MCC player in the past and was definitely less than kind to some players however he's also definitely grown in maturity and I think people should acknowledge both past and present MCC Dream. Yeah some of the shit he said was real cunt behaviour but it's the exact same shit people say to him and about him now. So by all means call him a toxic player as long as you acknowledge that you're a toxic fan.

Honestly MCC hasn't been fun for a while it's just been pure stress. It went from a fun chill event during MCC 1 to MCC 5 and then MCC 6 is when Dream and Fruit joined and Dream gained his little competitive head because of Techno and both Dream and Fruit became two big threats. Then MCC 11 honestly was the last fun event for me. After that it became too much of a competition and wasn't fun. I still watch someone's pov for the live event and watch Hbomb, CPK, Ant, Krtzyy etcs vod reviews but half of the competitors just seem more stressed than excited and it just isn't the same vibe.

I think the whole tier list system is a huge contributor to the competitive level which is past of the reason why I hate the whole tier system. Top players got stressed everytime they weren't in top 5 and it's honestly an insult to reduce people to a tier placement especially when saying something like Sapnap and Niki should team because Sapnap needs to be needed. Like that's so insulting to Niki. The tier lists are way more toxic than the fans ever were because at least the toxic fans didn't try and sugarcoat their insults and hatred using tier lists and downvotes.

Yes I agree Scott shouldn't be allowed to take part in the event and make the teams however I literally couldn't care less anymore. However if I were Scott I wouldn't feel good about it especially if I was first to 5 because I know people would downplay it to me being team bias. I mean it was kind of a slut move to put himself with Captain who everyone wants to win so of Scott does win hopefully his first to 5 backlash will be overshadowed by Caps win.

Also my order for the first to 5 is Dream, Pete, Hbomb, Sapnap, Scott. Dream first because I want him to keep his clean Dodgebolt wins and because I have a Dream bias, Pete I would enjoy his win because he was my favourite mcyt back in the day and he was my first face reveal, whilst I don't watch him as much anymore I still think it's a cool full circle moment if he won, Hbomb I would want to win because he's not s Tier and a non s Tier non event organizer winning would be cool also I would love to see twitter cry (sorry to Hbomb mental health if he did win but I would love to see toxic fans cry), Sapnap whilst I'd love for him to win and would put him second I do think he needs to be humbled a bit, I also like the idea of the first to 5 being an og s Tier not a season 2 s Tier (however I know Dream and Sapnap would be happy if the other won so I consider a Dream win a Sapnap one and vice versa) finally Scott, whilst I want him to win aswell I do think it's not as cool if someone involved in making the event and the event creator is the first to 5 wins. Like I always root for the gays but I'm in my homophobic arc with Scott and MCC win 5. (This is a joke I'm LGBTQ) finally whilst I don't like the idea of someone else getting to 5 wins before any of the current ones if anyone was to be first to 5 I would want it to be Krtzyy, CPK, Quig or Shubble.

[sugakuns]

[hc] kuroo, kenma & sugawara with a s/o who loves to sing and dance

kuroo testurō

fills his own ego too lmfao

literally makes dates at the karaoke bar just to hear you sing

has so many snapchats of him spying on you singing through door cracks 💀

also has so many snapchats of him trying to get you to song while he records 💀

if you’re apart of the school dance team or a dance team in general he is your #1 fan!!!

he loves to watch you practice and likes to try and mimic you (he’s unnaturally good at throwing in back I just know he is)

if you ask him to sing with you he def will without hesitation and if you ask him to dance with you he will want to chose the song (he’ll try to pick some sexy one 💀)

kenma kozume

he’s such a shy supporter 🥺

in private i feel he’s very nonchalant about giving praise and with how blunt he is, you’re the one blushing out of embarrassment

example, one time you asked him if you sounded good he just plainly answered “of course you’re good, don’t ask such silly questions” & “you’re amazing” but he says it with such a factual tone it’s enough to have you blushing for a while

in public he’s quiet but he has (according to kuroo) that look in his eye with he ‘wins a difficult level in a game’

he feels immense proud in you and your abilities that it’s like a confidence boost for himself? but not in a selfish way if you get me

if you’re promoting something he’ll deffo use his twt/yt/ig clout to promote it

if u ask him to join you he’ll be hesitant (even in private) cause he’s shy and doesn’t want to make a fool of himself in front of you

he’ll softly sing beside you as you sing normally, but that’s only in private

if you’re practising dancing he’ll copy your hand movements as a way of cheering you on

you’ve deffo sang him to sleep before just saying

kōshi sugawara

ik for a FACT koshi has the voice of an angel

it’s buttery smooth omg just imagine him with a guitar at a camp fire 🤤

he likes to put on soft songs and ask you to sing him to sleep if he’s stressed but most of the time he likes to sing with you bc he feels like it’s a cute couples activity

let’s say you’re apart of the school dance team

he will make it every single one of your dances (as long as it doesn’t collide with his games) 🥺

literally coach ukai is like “is suga at another showcase” bro gave up telling him he can’t skip practice any time he likes

if he brings the team he makes them hold up sings lmao while he screaming his heart out

deffo will copy you when you’re practing and is like “woah how can u do that 🥺”

omwhwobs he’s such a babey

OG Heavens: Love letters

For these Heavens posts, I had reached out to a few people who just never ended up responding. With projects like these, please at least hear them out, you don't have to do it because I know its a huge project but at least tell them you won't be doing it instead of ghosting them. But apart from that little road block, this project was really fun!!

Please enjoy under the cut!!!!

EIICHI OTORI

From @milkmateartist:

I have always leaned towards megane characters and Eiichi is no exception. However, it's not often you see idols wearing glasses, and that is something I appreciate about Eiichi's design. His color palette also intrigues me since I love deep shades of blue. His royal blue jacket is very attractive, and the way he pops the collar also makes me go "kya!".  His voice is also very sexy as well and is pleasing to the ear uwu. I love how egoistic he is too. Being incredibly ambitious he has been able to reach amazing heights that surpass other idols. The one thing that seems to make him unique though is that he really gets zealous and overly passionate when it comes to the power of music, so much that it makes him physically tremble. You could get high off that shit literally. His entire being is centered around being an idol, and all the components of him go above and beyond the requirements. It's not just a job for him or something that simply makes an earning or brings satisfaction. It's pretty much everything to him. For that reason he has made it to the top. There is also the component where he's lonely and isolated emotionally that interests me. Despite being a beloved idol, he clearly didn't get the love he needed growing up. Even though he had Eiji I feel as though his nature was more to protect Eiji and shield him from whatever terrors would arise. I admire his ability to come through all of that and pay attention to the things he really cared about. Eiichi can be himself, his strange, sexy self, but also he acknowledges the lonesome darkness within too. I think that component makes him incredibly powerful.

Extra Details:

While appearing to be a bad guy in the anime (at least), Eiichi seemed to be that typical bad boy idol that would steal away Haruka from the main group. The time when he approached Haruka and took her by the chin is a perfect example. How dare this new guy just think he can have his way with our protagonist!  To be honest I liked that aspect about him a bit. While I can't remember my first impression of Eiichi aside from not knowing how to feel about that, he slowly grew on me. He had the appearance of just another selfish idol, demonstrated by swiping the mic away from the announcer at one of his concerts and immediately declaring their foreseen victory. So far that looked rather bland to me, and I was still cheering for STARISH. They really made him out to look like some bad guy who would not play fair and do whatever he could to take the throne (and the girl).  It's not surprising his glasses shine adds to his 'freaky antagonist' vibe that the show seemed to try to give off, but however for me I love the glasses beam, thus having the opposite effect.

And then there is the Next Door episode. Now here's where we got to see more of Eiichi aside from when the HEAVENS Dragon demolished the entire stadium. Aside from kya-ing over the EiichiOtoya content (especially where he goes behind otoya and covers his eyes), I got to see more of him here. It surprised me that someone so cocky and confident was actually the same depressed, lonely person that Otoya was. But it was also evident to me as well that he did care about the effect it had on Otoya as well after he sort-of-well mind broke him. I like how he is ambitious but also still caring, as compared to an antagonist that would stop at nothing to achieve their goal regardless of how much pain they cause.

I also enjoy Eiichi because I feel like I can roleplay him well. Usually for me, roleplay has to achieve some kind of goal since I tend to be business oriented. I think to some degree I'm able to practice being a eboy idol through Eiichi, as I do enjoy charming the fans. It also helps that I can naturally play characters with an inflated ego who enjoy charming people.

From @/egoisticCEO on twt:

July 2019. When Eiichi was first introduced to me via his voice, I hated him from the very beginning. His singing, his appearance, his personality – everything about him made me despise him. It’s funny looking back and seeing how quickly my attitude changed towards him, realising I’d been biased against him because of a friend. Finding more about him, hate turned to interest. It seemed like his life hadn’t been the best. Maybe that was why he acted in such a way? Interest turned to liking him more. Maybe I’d misunderstood him. I’d made the mistake of taking him at surface level.

December 2019. Like was slowly turning to love. More and more, I found myself looking at him instead of my current favourites. I found myself wanting him to actually be a part of Egoistic. Once I started devouring HEAVENS Radio and unveiling his true character, it was shocking how quickly I fell. He truly acted like a father to everyone in his band. Giving them what he never received. Everything was for them to thrive.

2020. With how much I was at home, it only made sense I grew more obsessed. I found Life with Thanks’ translation. “We’re irreplaceable to him,” he tells us, and that made me certain that his heart wasn’t as evil as some people liked to believe. He’s a caretaker, someone who wants everyone to feel like they matter. Even at his own expense. Instead of selfish, he’s selfless.

I related to him more than I have to any character – it was comforting. Seeing someone have no choice but to put on a brave face, even when his confidence was at an all time low. 2020 got a lot harder for me, but when I recovered, Eiichi was like a home to go back to. Time and time again, I’d have to break away, but I’d always be invited back in by that stupid smirk and overexaggerated ego and the warmest heart you could ever find. Every scene I watched with him would make me smile. I’d tease him to myself. I still do.

2021. That brings us to now. I can’t see my love for this one of a kind man dying any time soon. I don’t want it to, either. Just looking at him makes me happy! He’s the type of character with so many facets to his personality that you can keep digging and never reach the end. So, in conclusion, I hope I never stop finding new things out about this wonderful idiot. More than anything, he deserves all the love he gives to others, and I’d love to provide it tenfold.

KIRA SUMERAGI

From Anon: 

Many have their reasons to love their favorite characters. As for me, why Kira Sumeragi is my favorite character is because there are several things about him that I can relate myself to and there are a few qualities he has that I like about him. If many do not know about Kira that much, they’d look at who he is. He may look intimidating at first and may not talk much, when in actuality, Kira is a considerate, dependable, and mindful guy. Mainly, he is the type of guy that lets his actions do the explaining. He is a hard worker, as an idol, he looks after his bandmates, HEAVENS, like family. It’s like what Eiichi said in HEAVENS Radio about Kira, “he is HEAVENS’ pride!” Although he may not say much, Kira is very observant of his surroundings and never hesitates in his decisions. The members of HEAVENS understand and acknowledge Kira, knowing that he means well.

You can even tell in his solo music! Although there are only two solo songs for Kira, if you read the lyrics carefully, Kira’s thoughts and feelings are shown. Kira always knew that if he cannot explain his feelings through words, then he’ll let his songs and his actions do it for him for you to see.  Although the anime doesn’t show much of Kira, the only way to get to know him more is through HEAVENS Radio, also drama CDs like Paradise Lost, and other media like LINE Messenger Japan. There’s still much that I’d want to know about him, but as a start, these things are what makes Kira my favorite character for HEAVENS.

From Anon: 

Aside from my huge bias towards OnoD the first thing that drew my attention to Kira was his design. Dark haired anime boys with bright eyes have such a vibe and I loved how mysterious he was set up to be in season 2. But the thing that really hooked me a lot was the found family that Heavens became over the progression of the anime.

Particularly since people in the fandom have a bunch of funky headcanons about Kira being the mom friend in the group, which is incredibly wholesome. Kira’s very quiet and reserved but clearly holds a deep caring for his group members and does what he can when needed which is one of the reasons why he became so loveable for me.

NAGI MIKADO

From @/_PXRFECTIONIST on twt: 

If I managed to stan Nagi, so will you.

Greetings. I present to you, once more, a story of how I came to love a character that I wished I threw hands with.

So.

Nagi Mikado.

The possible only utapri character that Shinomiya oshis despise. Thanks to what happened in the anime.

Truth be told, I too was one of them. Until I came to love Both Shinomiya and Nagi. Reason?

Research.

Ya see, it is universally agreed upon that the way Nagi was pushing and pulling at Shinomiya's trauma and DID was… Not okay. So I said "yeah okay what an obnoxious kid i dont think ill ever like him lol" especially since I never come to really warm up to people younger than me.

Boy was I wrong.

My heart really sways easily when I go deep into characters, and why they act the way they are. And also because I chose to roleplay as him, but let's not. Speak of that.

(its actually the main reason i like him in the first place who am i fooling)

Nagi is… Indeed obnoxious, and really has bad manners that are covered up by his cute looks and fame, especially since he's one of the original HEAVENS members, but once you get to really know him.. It makes sense why he's being such a brat. And that is sort of endearing. And knowing how his group is like family to him too, it becomes harder and harder to completely dislike him.

….

He really is a boss man.

He knows what he wants, and how to get it. He knows how to get people to like him without handing over the tiniest sliver of his weaknesses. He acts in his own way that shapes his personality to suit him, yet still manages to be caring and helpful, even if it's hard to see tenderness and good will through his aggression.

Reading his solo lyrics, listening to the drama CDs, even thinking of headcanons due to lack of lore, it all slowly comes together like a lovely parfait to suddenly make you realize..

'Wow…'

'I really do like that rat.

[bisexualhobi]

Do you have a favorite hobi moment?

oh gosh well idk if you mean on stage or out of it so it's hard to narrow down, and I know you asked for one but I LITERALLY CAN'T PICK ONE AND BE DONE WITH IT. so, here's a little list of my favorite hobi moments, though there's a ton more

First off I always find myself thinking about his iconic ✨Just Dance🕺🏻 performance, which cemented him in my eyes and a lot of critics' as his generation's Michael jackson.

I'm linking the stage mix because I feel it gives more variety to the stage but the first one I watched and the most legendary one is the Wembley Stadium one. I think it's a perfect performance, there's nothing more I could ask for.

Another performance that lives in my mind rent free is the Outro EGO stage from mots on:e. it was the first and only time he's performed this song live and he fucking went off! he BROUGHT A CAR OUT ON STAGE!!!! HE'S INSANE!!

🎷🎶✨🎈⭐🕺🏻🌈🤸🏻‍♂️🥁💫🎶 cr. salmon_613 on twt

it's so BRIGHT and COLORFUL and so inherently hoseok 😭😭 there's a quote where he said he wants to be a performer that people watch and say "oh yeah, he's enjoying himself" and to be honest I don't think there's another song that best represents this concept. the joy on this stage is CONTAGIOUS. also don't think about the fact that his six members joined him for the end on both days like the stars orbiting the sun........ don't.

Another moment I think about a lot that isn't a performance is this serendipitous moment captured by a fan where he looks like he's at Pride 😭🏳️‍🌈

all jokes aside he is a big supporter of the lgbt community, more specifically talked about in this twt thread

Also... not a moment but the way that he is literally the Prince of Gwangju and always finds ways to pay his hometown respect. He recently got a statue built in his honor but before that you could already find a lot of murals and buildings with stuff made for him.

I think about this a lot (here's another twt thread)

And lastly, this might be silly compared to the others and it's just a completely self indulgent moment for me, but I think about his bracelet making a lot. 😔😔 During quarantine the members decided to make different livestreams and Hobi being the sweet sweet boy that he is decided to go live while making those bead bracelets for his members, it created such a trend that bracelet kits were sold out for weeks in Korea and other countries.

you can watch both livestreams here and here

there's many many more moments that are dear and close to my heart, but maybe because these all happened fairly recently they're fresh on my mind ✨ I know you asked for a moment and here I am giving you a thesis sorry for how long this got but I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do 💞💞

if you made it this far please consider streaming hobi's fancam from the sbs gayo black swan performance, it has less than a third of some of the other members' views and even though view competition is dumb I just want him to know he did well 😔 thank you!!

[f-ngrl]

Yeah like tbh I don't really pay attention to him the only song of him I listen to us Buddy because that's a bop, but I'm a bug fan of both bloo and loopy so obviously owen always near lmaooo

But on twitter I swear people talk more about him that they with their own fan ... like i personally think that what he said in his live isn't something he thinks, I feel like sometimes he can't really articulate his thoughts process and when people try to inform (or bully him ) about it he says worst just to piss them off even more if that make sense ? Or maybe he's just really an asshole lol

But like I'm sick of people on twitter like yeah I'm listening to jvcki what are u gonna do about it ?

Anyways I totally agree with you, I feel like people take owen as a punching ball so that their favs look better even if they said or done problematic shit.

Like he's problematic so stop giving him the clout and feeding his ego like it ain't that hard???

Haha yeah if you like it and don’t hate him, then just listen^^

I feel like twt is social media’s hell lol, it has its temptations but at the end of the day i’ll be more at peace if i didn’t visit xD xD

I haven’t really seen his lives but that might as well be. He seems easy to provoke and not great with words and if that comes together... phrases come out that these people use i guess. But idk since idk him 🤷‍♀️^^

Jvcki lolll the hate on her was ridiculous imo. She still has my support, it’s hard enough for women AND being a rapper too is even harder. i think at the time everyone was just generally upset but why take it out on some random korean girl...

Yeah exactly^^

ARMYs, Ageism and Alex Williamson

For those who don’t know about the total fuckery that’s been happening on stan twt - some Aussie comedian tweeted a “joke” about how BTS has generic sounding vocals and naturally, the ARMYs pounced. If it had ended there with just a bunch of fans clowning the guy that dissed their faves then it would have just been some typical case of ARMYs being sensitive and overprotective as usual. But nope, they took it a step further and supposedly dug up the guy’s IP address, location, work, contacts, internet history, etc. who knows what else, then contacted his boss with a thread of his tweets in an attempt to get him fired. 

Whenever you try to bring up that they’ve crossed a line, they’ll gladly link you to a thread they’ve made of his racist/misogynistic/homophobic tweets, of course, not understanding that they are purely satire because surprise - they’ve never been exposed to that shit before when it’s rampant on the internet. They stick vehemently to the argument that those kinds of jokes are never funny and that it’s the reason they should ruin his life. 

This would be fair enough... if they’ve always had a problem with dark humor and went after every comedian that told them, but nope, it’s the one man that had the audacity to insult BTS - virtually proving his point about the maturity level of the fanbase. The fact that they don’t understand that what this guy is portraying is an asshole persona, telling insensitive jokes for the sake of shock, not actually reflecting his personal views - only goes to further his point that the fans are arrogant and inexperienced. 

I personally find Alex’s jokes rather uncreative and bland but it’s really no different from the sort of humor I’ve come across for many years now. Dark humor is still considered controversial and is a debate that’s still ongoing but what happened here was not a nuanced conversation about right and wrong - it was entitled fans coming up with justification for violating someone’s privacy and demonstrating again how much they’ve stroked their own egos to the point where they feel the world needs to bend to their will.

This isn’t “protecting the boys.” Worse things have been said about them and at the MOST if BTS had found out about his tweets, they would have been a little offended (given they cared enough about some random white dude in Australia that doesn’t like their music). You don’t need to love his sense of humor - in fact you don’t even need to give this guy attention at all, but you chose to do so just as he probably predicted you would. 

Instead of channeling all your energy into this one guy that says fucked up shit for an audience that understands it as satire, why don’t you go after actual racists/misogynists/homophobes? Why don’t you try to ruin the lives of people doing it to victimize the vulnerable? Because this was never an issue of prejudice and you know that. 

I have no doubt ARMYs are capable of doing amazing things. Donating to charities, raising awareness, being the catalyst of BTS’s success. FOCUS ON THOSE THINGS. Things that don’t make the entirety of this fandom look irrational and perpetuating the gross image people already have of us. 

Just my two cents on this total clusterfuck.

Reviewing Brea's Stuff - BTS Soulmate AU (1/2)

PART 1/2 (Taehyung, Jungkook, Jimin)

HI! \(OwO)/

I want to draw ya'll's attention to one of my friends: @jimin-jungshook-over-literalbae. She's a k-pop reaction/scenario/text writer, and not only have I missed her as a friend so much during my long hiatus, I've also missed her writing. Thankfully, there's a lot for me to catch up on! She asked me to give my opinions on her BTS AUs, and with her permission, I've turned my reviews it into a bit of advertising! If you wanna read the stuff I did, ya'll don't have to scroll super far to find it all. I'll be reviewing each AU from a Reader's Standing (silly, sometimes improper sentences; sO MUCH swearing; caps lock) and from a Critic's Standing (second reading; at least one paragraph). Let's get into this! >o<

—Faith

Written in Order of Whichever Came up First While Scrolling

Taehyung AU (Reader's Standing):

Man, I can't relate with being abandoned at a club 'cause I don't drink, and there's no club in my town, but I love how Y/N is essentially abandoned, ha ha ha! Also, poor Y/N, the only person among their friends who hasn't found a soulmate yet and feels so damn lonely about it. :'(

'...soft masculine voice'—bless you, Brea, for describing this scum as feminine.

'It makes you want to scoff, honestly'—All right then, this Y/N is a bit of a bitch, when it comes to meeting strangers in a club. I like Y/N, already. :D

'...back hitting a wall'—Aw yeah, good going, Y/N. Cornering yourself, good shit.

Strong Tae is hot, like that whole wrist grabbing sequence, ooh.

'Excuse me, sir'—My inner Englishwoman accent has been summoned.

Bitter chocolate on Y/N's tongue?? Where did this come from, hm... HM... hm.

Oh wait this is the soulmate bit. NEATO, I LOVE CHOCOLATE!! Milk is cool too, I mean, I'm vegetarian. If you bring meat into any of these AUs I will riOT.

Internal screaming holy shit it's the gang they're here hi Jimin my baby TwT

Yas to fun dancing with the puppy that is Taehyung

'Your back is pressed against his chest and his hands rest on your hips'—AERUNAWERAWENURAWO cute yes thank you

More chocolate taste, mm, yes. *w*

Holding hands on way to friends = classic, love it.

scREAMING HE CALLED Y/N HIS SOULMATE YES BLESS THIS AU I mean I don't usually read them, but my friendo-burritos are special occasions, OK??

Physical manifestation?? All right, sure. I'm so confused about this because, as I just said, I don't read soulmate AUs.

Love how the flavour of chocolate changes, it's kind of romantic.

*Sees typo at second last paragraph for 'had' instead of 'hand' and holds breath* Save it, Grammar-Nazi alter-ego, it's just a typo.

Super cute paragraph though awoureraelr

'As though he's meant to stay there forever'—Is just too cute, oml.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THAT LAST PARAGRAPH AND THE LAST LINE OF Y/N MY HEEEEEEEEEEART GOD DAMN SO CUTE UUUUUUUUUUGH

It's over? ;w; It's over...

Taehyung AU (Critic's Standing):

I'll say this here so I don't have to repeat myself, but I don't tend to read Soulmate AUs because I honestly think they're a very basic and beginner's way to write fan fiction. But they're also a great way to practice, so no, I don't hate them, I just don't tend to read them. As you know, I've made an exception for my friend. The first paragraph set the atmosphere very well, and easily stated how Y/N was feeling about not having found their soulmate, yet, and how they're just forced to watch their friends, who already have. The creep insertion, while a common trope, was well executed—I especially approve of how Brea described the wrist grabbing and the little struggle Y/N had.

And then there's Taehyung to the rescue, and for a moment I forgot I was reading a soulmate AU, I was confused about why Y/N tasted chocolate for second. Like the subtle inclusion of Jungkook, Jimin and the other guys, and the dancing section where the taste of chocolate changes according to Taehyung's emotions was really neat. I also loved how Taehyung took Y/N home, and their little kissing moment was the cutest. Not the mention the killer one-liner Y/N delivered, at the end. This was a brief AU, but that's often a good idea, for these kinds of scenarios. If I could improve one thing about this, I would have done... nothing. I seriously can't find anything that I would change, in this. Great job, Brea!

Jungkook AU (Reader's Standing):

Ooh, a Big Bang concert!

OOH, bells to signal soulmate status, that's really cool! Also, cute stumble is best stumble.

'bunny teeth'—Yes, Jungkook is a bunny in disguise, I knew it. *w*

YouTuber Jungkook is a concept I would sell my soul to Satan to see IRL

Ey yo, Seungri! \(>w<)/ Feels like a real concert, lol

Oh boy, whispering...

Awwww group waving to Jungkook's camera, how nice. ;w;

OH BOY JUNGKOOK IS ESCORTED

Oml Jungkook must have been so embarrassed, standing on stage like that, as a mega-fan. Lucky dude.

Never mind, boy was hyped as hecc

Happy Jungkook is best Jungkook, that was so cute to read.

Ye boys and girls, let's go with Jungkook and see what happens next oml this is too cute aaa

iS THIS THE SAME BAR AS THE TAEHYUNG AU?!

Hi Jimin I love you ;w;

Riot for Jimin? Yes, very possible.

beLL RUNG AGAIN GOOD LORD

I approve of Y/N's choice of Daesung as their favourite member

Thank you Jimin for approving of Y/N's choice

Jungkook shooing because he's secretly a possessive puppy, cute

bELLS AGAIN

'pretty damning evidence'—This is suddenly a detective AU? Nice.

'princess'—Aaand now I'm trying not to squeal.

Good choice of bar over apartment there, Jungkook.

Clasped fingers are cute, yes, thank you

More bells, aaaaa

Soft kiss ;w; Ow my heart

Evolving bells? YES.

Seriously this was really cute, I loved it. I love everything Brea writes, tbh.

Maybe that's just a friendship thing, idk.

Jungkook AU (Critic's Standing):

When the story began at a Big Bang concert, I immediately started to recall every bop they ever made, and it made me so nostalgic and happy. Really nice concert vibe, felt pretty alive, for being described in one paragraph. The first occurrence of the bells stole my heart, I'm a winter fanatic and bells are such an iconic symbol of that season, so I really enjoyed finding out that the little soulmate signal for this AU was bells. Not to mention the little confused looks that Y/N and Jungkook gave to their surroundings before introducing themselves with yelling (because concert, makes total sense) was really nice. I also loved how Jungkook was a YouTuber, that's totally something he could be, if his life went a different direction.

Seungri noticed Jungkook, told the guys about him, and they all gave Jungkook's camera some love was neat, too. They got him onto the stage and Jungkook fulfilled his mega-fan dream of performing with the big boys, that was ultra sweet of them (and Brea, I guess). And the excited Jungkook after he returned to Y/N was so easy to picture, it was great. As I said in the Reader's Standing, is this the same bar Y/N in the Taehyung AU was taken to? It was nice to see Jimin again though, hee hee, and I really liked how Jimin and Jungkook talked about why Jimin wasn't with Taehyung—the struggles of being a famous idol, right?

Jungkook shooing away Jimin was also cute, and how Brea mentioned that Jungkook and Y/N just sat with a couple drinks and talked with a little buzz was nice. Jungkook's explanation of how he and Y/N are soulmates was a nice touch, I really can't get enough of picturing how those bells sound. Small kiss from Y/N to Jungkook was super sweet, and yes, YES, I would love it if those bells evolved into like, an entire little melody, ah. This one was somehow very relaxing to read, I enjoyed it.

Jungkook isn't even my bias wrecker and I want to punch him with a pillow for being so cute in this AU, dammit.

Jimin AU (Reader's Standing):

For some reason the picture of Jimin wouldn't load and I'm immediately a little sad because I don't get to see his pink hair and those amazingly adorable cheeks of his. Not to mention his gorgeous eyes and just AERNUOEWATO Jimin is great. ;w;

Y/N is legit me, but I'm reading hentai manga instead of an 'actual book'. Just kidding, I'd be reading Piers Anthony.

Cool cafe, would definitely go there.

But reading sometimes stresses me out, so... I just stick to Piers and other fantasy others who don't write about female leads, sorry, but I really fucking love men. >w<

Aw yes look at that, his pink hair is peeking through, I wish I could reach into this story and touch it, fuck

The Chim just keeps getting closer... and closer... God that's cute, it's so like him, I love that.

'marches his way right over to you'—AEUROOAEUNCOWEASNLU thank you Brea, I'm dying a little

Soft speaking is so cute, good Lord, bless this AU

I'm just excited to read this for a second time, I love Jimin so damn much, aaaa

Just reading with Jimin would be so nice, that one paragraph had such a quiet feeling to it, ah.

Oh no, he went back on tour </3

he'S BACK AND HE TAPPED Y/N'S HAND MY LORD

I would totally jump up and hug Jimin, sorry not sorry, that man needs so much love for being so cute and... A N D *heavy breathing*

Oh right Y/N does it anyway

Awww yes he hugs back ;w;

Ooh, familiar scent and a long hug, that's definitely romantic.

bOOK HANDING OVER INCEPTION. Thank you for that little nod, ah.

I would probably fit in his suitcase tbh I mean I'm 145cm and he's what, 165cm?? It would totally work out, guys.

fiNGERS ENTWINE SCREEEEEEE

Sneaky Jimin putting his number in Y/N's pocket. Wait he's also part of the pervert line, BREA ARE YOU SURE HE DIDN'T TAP Y/N'S ASS A LITTLE? Lol just kidding, but still, nice move, Jimin.

He smells like books, bless

NOT TO MENTION THE KISSES GOOD LORD

That note was so sweet holy shit

Good ending oh my God that was such a nice ending

Jimin AU (Critic's Standing):

How do I write a formal review, again? I loved the book cafe, that was such a natural place for this to happen. Y/N and Jimin meeting week after week, and Jimin inching closer and closer until he literally comes right up to Y/N and all I could think of was a fluffy puppy running, and it killed me. I really liked how Y/N and Jimin established a quiet relationship, that's like, friendship, and friendship is so nice. Then Jimin left and I felt a little empty with Y/N, and I'm just sitting here thinking about how easily you were able to make me relate to Y/N. He came back blond (I refuse to add the 'e' for a male; I'm Canadian, that's just how the French do things, nothing wrong with the more modern/American way >w<) and had to tap Y/N's hand to get their attention, and then there's that adorable hug that just warmed my heart.

Then there was a very well executed explanation of how Jimin knows he and Y/N are soulmates and how he slipped a note into their pocket when they hugged. And I'm completely serious when I say that I would love to just stuff myself into Jimin's suitcase, ha ha ha! The kisses were also a really nice touch, the note was very sweet, and again, Y/N's last say in this scenario as they gave in to temptation and texted Jimin was adorable. Jimin's explanation and the note really did it for me, heh. I enjoyed Jungkook's the most, out of these three, but this was also really relaxing to read.

OK, that's it, for the maknae line! Onto the hyung line. Thanks again for reading, everyone.

[skeppynotfounds]

the thought of dream doing a video to face reveal instead of just pics makes me so terrified fo rhim and want to throw up like that gives antis opportunities to take screenshots of him like mid talking making a weird face to try and say hes ugly or whatever and hes not as in control of it at that point and it just makes me kidna sick loke ohh dreamie can we please go back to you bening fully in control and posting pics first like :((( i understand wanting to milk kt for clout by making it a video but dream please. i am so nervous about this plan and like yeah the antis wont matter and i think them being gross about it will make peop;e call them out like hey wtf but theyre still going to be a loud minority and im praying dttwt just fucking ignores them and bloks them and moves on but i already know im going to be avoiding twitter for like 2 weeks post drace reveal and . ok thats my demons off my chest Love to you ro hugs

what brings me a lot of peace - and i hope this will help you in some way too - is how dream has always been SOO confident about his face reveal. he's got his ego like a proud leo ofc but i don't think he's hoping for anyone to compliment his looks (although we're gonna do so anyway) and he doesn't give the smoggest fuck about any anti calling him ugly because he knows he's not. i know that reading that stuff as a fan isn't pleasant t see, and i would advise against being active on twt yeah, but i hope it feels a little bit better that those tweets aren't gonna make dream feel bad >:(

love 2 you too anogie ☹️💙
