I mean isn't it so weird and strange that Rm asked both of them that?? Why would he ask something like that if jikook were actually a couple?? Doesn't rm know that they were dating or maybe jikook actually not together that is why rm asked them that like in a teasing way which normally friends do when you saw ur other friends wear something matching. This moment always makes me confused.
I might be the wrong person to ask cause Iâm of the opinion that if theyâre dating they probably didnât actually make anything official or formally tell other members until much more recently than a lot of other jikookers think. I personally think they probably wavered in the not-quite-just-friends-but-not-quite-dating space for quite a while, years in fact, and I think itâs where a lot of the awkwardness/palpable tension and nervousness in some of their early interactions stemmed from.
And Namjoonâs question still remains â why did they do that stuff? The matchy-matchy couple-y stuff? Cause they didnât exactly say ânoâ did they đ
Not to mention the same thing happened when Jin blurted âare you two togetherâ during the palm pushing game here:
youtube
And him asking that does nothing to take away from the flirtatiousness of that entire interaction, so. If anything it just highlights how sus their behavior is.
I might have mentioned this before but I donât go around looking for single moments to âdebunkâ the theory that Jimin and Jung Kook have something romantic going on. Iâm not that insecure, at least not anymore haha. To me itâs obvious, from their behavior and treatment of each other when you look at them as a whole and not through some skeptical, conspiracy-theorist lens. Think what you want but any attempts to get me to go âomg youâre right it must all be a sham and I imagined everythingâ are gonna fall flat every time. It is what it is, friend đ«€
Iâm a small fish though so maybe try someone else â you might get lucky and convert a much bigger blogger than me. Do you become a Level 5 Laser Lotus if you do that?

... I've had a new thought
Maybe, just maybe, @staff thought the idea for a forced algorithm was a dumbshit idea just like the rest of us, but, orders from on high, watcha gonna do?
Well you could make a post about how you're gonna do it, generating such a shitstorm that Tumblr Management is forced to concede it's the worst fucking idea.

Find Common Ground
One gets the sense that Seneca, like many smart and active people, was often frustrated by other people. It is inevitable that someone like himâsomeone creating art, actively participating in government, managing properties, etcâwould have regularly found his interest and his will thwarted. Perhaps a neighbor opposed some changes he was making to his land. Or an intriguing enemy at the palace sought to undermine him with the emperor. Maybe his brother jostled for an inheritance. Maybe he bumped into a rude person in the street.
These are timeless and common occurrences. And, quite naturally, they are prone to make us angryâespecially if we impute the least charitable motivations on the other party. My neighbor is trying to screw me over. So and so wants my job. My brother is up to his old tricks. This guy is a selfish jerk.
When we think this way, we get angry. Itâs hard not to. Which is why Senecaâfrom experienceâsaid that we have to resist. Instead, we should try to go through life like a lawyerâŠor rather like a public defender. We must, he said, âplead the case of the absent defendant despite our own interests.â That is, really take the time to think about what is motivating other people. Take the time to act as if we are trying to help them escape punishment from the judge and jury that is the emotional and vindictive part of our mind (Oh, he really just wants whatâs best for everyone. My brother doesnât know better. This guy didnât mean to bump into meâheâs just having a hard day). Donât just fight to see the worst, fight to see their side.
When we do this, when we give people the benefit of the doubtâthe presumption of innocence instead of the presumption of guilt and ill-motivesâeverything relaxes. We can forgive. We can find common ground. We can focus on what is actually importantâŠour own behavior.

A transformation
From passive to active,
Accepting to questioning:
It doesnât need to be a battle,
And Iâm tired of seeing it as one.
Iâm moving my view point,
Transferring my attention.
The entire room changes again,
Even while remaining the same.
These simple transformations;
From believed malicious actions
To simple lacking knowledge;
From things abandoned, ignored,
To forgetfulness, or miscommunication.
There are easier ways to view,
Kinder things to assume.
Even if Iâm wrong it doesnât hurt us,
Only gives the chance for patience.
The transformation is small though,
Slowly changing, growing,
Isnât that wonderful regardless.

Hi hi! Unsure if you're open to pokemon fusion OCs - if not, no worries! - but if so, wanna doodle anything at all (I'm not picky ^w^) of my goofy lickitung-fox? :P
(ref pic) if interested. Thanks for the chance!
There ya go
(If I had a cent for every time a request was of a PokĂ©mon fusion between a canine PokĂ©mon and a Lickitung Iâd have two. Which isnât a lot, but itâs weird that it happened twice lol. Guessing it was you last time too, anon?)
#art requests#pokĂ©mon fusion#benefit of the doubt#lickitungs aâŠweird choice for fusing PokĂ©mon with but the color palettes nice#usually people always pick out the cool or cute ones to make even cooler/cuter ones#or super goofy joke PokĂ©mon

This, 100%.
Might be a mistake to admit this, but way back, I had joined a subreddit called r/gendercritical. The points they made (about trans men and women competing in sports against cis men and women, specifically) seemed logical to me at the time as someone who had absolutely zero knowledge of how a trans personâs body can change during a medical transition. At first nobody seemed to be against the individual, just against the idea. Later, I realized the individual and the idea are inextricably linked; you canât be against one without also being against the other.
It wasnât long before I noticed the vibes in that community were ten kinds of fucked up. I started hearing the same things being said by certain conservative bloviates. I sought out some actual factual material (again in that specific instance about trans people competing against cis people in sports) and learned that I was completely wrong the whole time and was on the verge of TERFdom.
Fast forward 7 years and not only am I a huge advocate for trans rights, Iâve come out as non-binary and bisexual.
Any time I talk to people about trans rights, Iâm careful to use language that doesnât assume the other person is a horrible bigot, because they could just be misinformed and have no way of knowing, just like I was once upon a time.
I think most people do better when they know better. They just donât know what they donât know. ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
That all being said, if theyâve proven themselves unable to receive such information, Nazi Punks Fuck Off.

At the lesbian meetup, met a kind of transphobic woman. Started gearing up to get fighty and then realised... she wasn't an actual terf. She was just older, genuinely didn't know stuff, had heard some terf talking points in passing and had been made kind of anxious by them, but hadn't made it her entire personality. She was open to learning that trans women weren't actually roaming around coercing unwilling cis lesbians into sex, thanked me earnestly for giving her a basic explanation of what "non-binary" meant and truly seemed to be relaxing bit by bit the more she heard. Obviously I'm aware that I can't be sure I've given her a sufficient dose of anti-transphobe vaccine to immunise her permanently against the shit that's out there, but overall it made me hopeful. Most people just aren't dyed-in-the-wool bigots. People can be curious and relieved to hear the fearmongering they've been exposed to is untrue. Telling people this stuff isn't a lost cause.

BENEFIT of the DOUBT (love coming & going)
Priceless this BOTD dynamic is. Whether you give it or receive it, it goes to work & makes a difference in anotherâs well-being & worthiness. It has the ability to validate, edify, approve, support & encourage regardless of what side of this you are on. I believe in you is being said when given or received. It is like a blessing & only good can come from it BENEFIT of the DOUBT or BOTD ToâŠ

Malicious Intent
Donât assume malicious intent. Itâs usually not the case. Most people are trying their best to do their best. They arenât intentionally trying to hurt you. In fact, it is way more likely that they arenât even thinking about you at all. They are too busy thinking about themselves and their lives to plot against you. Give people the benefit of the doubt and know that those who intentionallyâŠ

Benefit of the Doubt
There are some phrases I love,
More for the flexibility than the words,
And 'benefit of the doubt' is one of them.
Am I accepting someone is right?
Or just accepting that's so much as they know?
Do I just keep my doubts silent,
Seeing where the process will go?
It's always more about trusting,
Not quite the words being said,
Or the plans being made,
But the people doing and saying them
Are doing so to the best of their knowledge.
And if given more information, updated,
Or just more in depth than before,
They'd adjust to suit the situation more.
I give the benefit of the doubt rarely,
Most often to myself and my tired brain,
Believing things will work themselves out,
Or can be solved by an email or two.
Oftentimes that's proven true.

Take Care in worship of Law or Love, as another idol for selfish pleasure - what is giving when it's easy
