i wonder if post god's menu stays realise how much of a shift that era was for skz? like obviously you can see retroactively by looking back at their discography irt their sonic signature, but i don't think people who weren't there can seriously grasp how big of a shock it was, they went from stan twitter's favourite punching bag to one of kpop's biggest up and comers practically overnight. they were already relatively popular by virtue of being a big 3 group, and they'd had a bit of success with miroh and less prominently my pace, but the absolute explosion after god's menu and their continued upward trajectory ever since was completely unprecedented for them. and especially given that they had JUST dropped a member. kpop groups do not tend to have massive spikes in popularity after losing members, and when levanter dropped we were all incredibly anxious for skz's future because it looked so bleak. we were crying cheering throwing up over ONE MUSIC SHOW WIN. ONE. they used to be less famous than everglow. do you understand me? are you understanding me.
#everglow's downfall has had kpop twitter's finest scholars scratching their heads for years#mismanagement and massive gaps between releases are probably the biggest culprits#but i think we all need to hold hands and accept that they were never going to be the next blackpink. the timing of it just wasn't right.#skz's timing on the other hand was literally perfect down to the millisecond.#i know we like to talk about how hard they work and all but i don't think we can discount how much sheer luck was involved#because i do not believe that jype or even the kids were paying that much attention to the timing of releases. like be real with me#and also their exponential growth in popularity as bts stopped being so active was not a coincidence at all#bts as a group stopped gaining as many new fans when they started solo activities and the members started military service#both due to a decrease in new music and their new music being so different from what made them appealing to young people in the first place#same with exo to a lesser degree because they never got as famous as bangtan#that left a vacuum at the top which skz stumbled into pretty naturally given their newfound and still growing popularity#all those new gen fans who were looking for the next biggest thing found skz#and with the sheer amount of content they put out they're the natural choice for a middle school kpop fan with too much time on their hands#i know that people still argue that txt is the biggest 4th gen boygroup but i'm not interested in falsifying narratives like moas are#< joke.#i know skz and txt were tussling for most popular for a while especially in 2020 and 2021#but after kingdom it just stopped being a competition. you can probably still argue that txt are more popular in sk#but with skz consistently marketing themselves as a global group theyve never done as well in sk as they have abroad that's just the truth#im not on twitter anymore so i cant obsessively monitor the trends anymore but also i don't need to because skz have come out on top. LOL#5 years and im vindicated at last.#take THAT 2019 kpop twitter.... <- man who hasn't gotten over anything ever in their life

PT. III Louis/Dongsik: your brother's best friend
Dongsik x genderneutral!reader
3 chapters | 8k+ | fluff, comedy | general audiences
When you were young, your world existed of you, your parents, your brother…and his best friend, Dongsik. They had met each other on the first day of 3rd grade and had been inseparable since then. They were both loud, funny, stubborn and fuelled each other’s bad ideas resulting in many-a scoldings but were also two of the people you knew would always stand by you.
At first you didn’t really like Dongsik. There was only 1 year between you and your brother and before he’d met Dongsik he would play with you, like alllll the time. He had taught you how to play soccer, basketball and how to ride a bike but would also race with you around the neighbourhood (you on your tiny bike with a huge silly horn on it as a bell and colourful wheel decorations that made a rattling sound, and he on his green razor scooter), play hide and seek, tag and so on. The two of you were close and after Dongsik came into the picture that play time was cut in half. You often asked if you could join them and sometimes they would say yes, but more often than not they would run away before you could ask them. But he visited so often, he was almost like a second brother – one that was almost more annoying than your real brother if that was possible.
One time when the three of you were children, Dongsik had gone with you and your family on vacation and whilst you were checking the water temperature of the water, he had picked you up and had then thrown you in. You had kicked and screamed of course, but it hadn’t helped and as you resurfaced from the cold water, you could hear your brother and Dongsik laughing and clapping. In the end, the trip turned into a competition of who could manage to throw the others into the water the most. A competition you unfortunately, lost.
Or another time when you had dressed up a little bit, for no particular reason other than that you felt like it and you came downstairs to grab some drinks and snacks for you and your friend. Your brother had Dongsik over in his room and they were playing video games. As you went back to your own room, you ran into the latter in the hallway. Shamelessly, he looked you up and down and your face turned red. ‘What are you looking at?’ you snapped. ‘You look weird today,’ he said. You sighed and glared at him. Of course that’s what he was thinking. By now you were completely used to this. ‘Look in the mirror, weirdo,’ you retorted. He shrugged his shoulders and then rudely snatched a cookie from the plate you were carrying and ate it in one gulp. ‘Hey! Get your own snacks,’ you said, holding the plate out of reach of him (which was quite hard considering the height difference). He smirked. ‘You’re so possessive…won’t you share with me?’ he said, making a pleading face. ‘Weirdos don’t get cookies from me,’ you said and you stuck out your tongue and quickly moved past him before he could say anything else or steal another cookie.
Dongsik was almost as funny as he was annoying. Although you would never admit it to him, you also thought that he was quite cool. And though you were often on the receiving end of your brother’s and Dongsik’s pranks and their ‘loving’ verbal abuse (which you threw right back at them) you had also collaborated plenty of times with Dongsik to prank your brother.
You recalled one particular successful April Fool’s you’d experienced after Dongsik had become friends with your brother. Before Dongsik was in the picture, your brother would prank you often enough on April Fool’s. You’d found plenty of fake spiders, cockroaches, fake barf in your shoes, breakfast, hair and water bottle. You’d tried to prank him back of course but he always seemed to see right through you, and avoid the splash of water, taste of lemon or fake snack you’d prepared leaving you biting in the dust. Now that he would be teaming up with Dongsik, you didn’t know what would happen – and it drove you mad. You’d been on your guard for weeks after you’d overheard them giggling (yes, giggling) and looking at various videos about the best pranks for April Fool’s. A kind of dread and fear you didn’t know existed before settled into your stomach and a shiver ran down your back. But, you weren’t stupid and decided that you were going to give them a taste of their own medicine (even if you’d never succeeded before). You weren’t exactly sure what kind of prank they had prepared, but it involved something with paint, glue and flour. Then the day finally arrived. April Fool’s. You had set your alarm clock an hour earlier and as you heard it you shot up and quickly turned it off. Then you quietly snuck out of your room to get ready and eat breakfast. When you were done and had made sure that there were no traps set around the house you finally settled yourself on the couch and waited until your brother woke up. You heard him move around the house and eventually come downstairs. ‘Good morning,’ you said, and couldn’t hide a triumphant smile. He raised an eyebrow and looked you carefully up and down, scanning you for any hidden threats but decided there was nothing of note. ‘Good morning,’ he said back and then sat down to eat his breakfast after which you walked to school together. You were both suspicious of each other. Your bag was heavier than normal though but that was probably because of all the extra equipment you had taken with you, which included a water gun, a can of shaving cream, and the fine powdery glitter.
Class started and went by without anything unusual happening. Somebody had switched the caps from all the dry markers and sharpies but though that was mildly inconveniencing for the teacher it was nothing too wild or bad. No, the wild would happen during lunch – not that you were aware of that yet. So here’s what happened and how it landed you, your brother and Dongsik in the principals office, all of you covered in a mixture of flour and glitter and also shivering because the 3 of you were also wet.

hi! I know you discontinued your 8th member fic from way back, but wanted to try my luck anyway on a prompt suggestion in that same direction hehe. Basically a 8th bts member being interested in another boygroup that’s younger?? Everything from who, genre and how is up to you, i just really love seeing this kind of fics of imaginary interactions of groups and so on so THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!
I want to thank you for giving me an excuse to take a break from my thesis writing.
I've actually taken a lot of interest in The Boyz recently since rewatching Kingdom where Sunwoo has become a favorite of mine (as in I am completely obsessed).
So for all the The B's out there, this one's for you!

Stressed Out - H.J¹
Tumblr media
Pairing: Idol!HanJisungXIdol!Fem.Reader. (feat. Stray kids)
Warnings: ataque de ansiedade, desentendimento (o Han é meio cabeção, mas a leitora tbm), acho que é só. :)
Palavras: 5.490
Sinopse: Em uma edição especial do reality show "Kingdom", os boygroups e as girlgroups mais impactante de outras edições se juntam para novas apresentações. Na frente das câmeras, tudo estava bem, mas poucos sabiam os males que assombravam todos os participantes. Na gravação de um dos episódios, uma situação mostra que não devemos ter opiniões precipitadas...
(Pt. 2)
🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘
Mesmo com todos esses anos dentro da indústria, Han Jisung ainda não entendia como algumas pessoas conseguiam fingir tão bem. Perto de outras pessoas, na frente das câmeras, com outros grupos... isso era mais normal que muitos pensam, mas por que você o incomodava?
"Talvez por que você tenha uma queda por ela?" Bang Chan o indagou uma vez, enquanto stray kids conversava sobre os outros grupos que conheciam ao longo da edição especial do 'Kingdom'. O moreno debocha da fala do líder, dando de ombros.
"Queda? Ele tem um penhasco pela garota" Seungmin completa, o chocando com sua audácia "ele não pode ver ela que fica babando... É pura sorte ninguém ter percebido e comentado"
Tudo bem, talvez eles estivessem certos, e ele tivesse uma quedinha de nada por ela, mas isso não significava que ele conseguia entender como ela era tão boa atriz...
"Talvez você esteja entendendo ela de um jeito errado..." O mais novo diz pela primeira vez, Han o olha, mas o moreno parecia nem perceber o que falava, concentrado de mais no macarrão em sua vasilha. "Você sabe como é fácil disso acontecer"
Cansado, Jisung explica mais uma vez os incidentes que o levam a acreditar que tudo o que a idol sente por ele é ódio. "Ainda acho melhor você tentar falar com ela pessoalmente, quem sabe tudo se resolveria..."
Mesmo com se hyung Lee know o aconselhando, Han Jisung tentou ignorar a garota mais uma vez, afinal a missão dessa semana parecia pior que as da semana passada, e da edição passada. Ele precisava se focar.
E foi o que fez, ou pelo menos se convenceu que conseguiu fazer. Ele escreveu, produziu, gravou, dançou, e tudo mais que tinha que fazer. E grande parte do tempo ele conseguiu se concentrar e se deixar levar por nada.
Mas ele não sabia o que esperar dos outros grupos...do seu grupo. E foi uma sequência de grander performances. Todos forma muito impactantes, e você parecia mais feroz que semana passada, e ele entendia, afinal a mnet não escondia que não era muito empática quanto ao seu grupo, sempre as deixando com notas baixas. Mas dessa vez seria impossível fingir que aqueles números eram verdadeiros.
Porém, por mais que ele torcesse por você, também queria chegar longe, e não queria ser o motivo ao qual deu grupo não passaria.
E mesmo após se apresentar, o nervosismo só passaria com o resultado. E apesar do seu grupo conseguir ficar em segundo lugar, stray kids acabou em penúltimo, e ele sabia que a culpa era dele (mesmo que não fosse, de verdade), ele já conseguia sentir seu corpo tremer, e o ar faltar. Ele só precisava sair dali, precisava ficar sozinho, nem que seja por poucos minutos...
Assim que as luzes se acabaram, o mesmo saiu de fininho, não querendo ser pego por ninguém... Não que ele tenha ter conseguido, pois desde o momento em que os resultados foram anunciados, seus olhos não saíram dele. Desde quando chegou no estúdio, percebeu como ele estava mais nervoso que o normal, como ele se afastava quando mais de duas pessoas chegavam perto (você sabia que ele tinha problemas com locais cheios de pessoas, então tentava não ser uma delas, mas o olhava de longe), e como estava mais quieto que o normal. Então assim que o viu escapar o seguiu.
Han Jisung acabou em uma sala, perto dos camarins. Assim que entrou, se sentou, de olhos fechados e cabeça pra trás, tentando lutar com aquele sentimento horrível que tanto conhecia.
"Han" uma voz leve surgiu dentro da sala, quando abriu os olhos viu que era Sn, e a situação piorou. Tudo o que tentava reprimir acabou saindo de vez. Não conseguia mais respirar, as lágrimas saíam sem controle, molhando seu rosto. "Tudo bem, tenta respirar fundo..." A voz da garota era suave e gentil com ele, mas por mais que ele tentasse controlar, só parecia piorar a situação.
Felizmente nesse momento, ela sabia como o ajudar, pois já teve que passar por isso várias vezes, sozinha inclusive.
"Han, olha pra mim..." Ela pede, e ele o faz, encontrando apenas uma Sn borrada "ótimo, posso pegar suas mãos?" Ela pede, e ele as entrega pra ela, que as segura firme, mas não que doesse. "Tudo bem, agora preciso que você foque na minha voz e no que eu disser, tudo bem?" Sem conseguir falar, ele aperta levemente suas mãos, em sinal positivo.
"okay, inspira... Segura... expira... inspira..."
Sn ficou ali de joelhos, segurando as mãos de Jisung, as massageando, e o instruindo na respiração, até que o mesmo se acalmasse. Quando isso aconteceu, ela secou suas lágrimas e apertou suas mãos em conforto mais uma vez.
"Se sente melhor?" Sn pergunta, preocupada ao se levantar. A morena pegou dois copos de água e o entregou um. De repente o rapaz de sentiu envergonhado, percebendo ela sorriu e segurou sua mão mais uma vez "não se preocupe, isso acontece comigo o tempo todo, essa semana não foi nada fácil..."
Ele então conseguiu a olhar, conforme ela falava, as palavras passavam por sua cabeça, mas seu tom era reconfortante, então o ajudava a voltar a realidade.
"... e eu sei que pode não mudar muita coisa pra você, mas tenho certeza que vão ganhar, então parabéns!"
Sn continuou falando, sem o olhar, pois percebeu que Han havia ficado envergonhado, mas diminuiu quando percebeu que ele provavelmente não a ouvia. Ficaram em silêncio, por alguns segundos, até a voz fraca do moreno soar na sala:
"Você... acha que vamos ganhar?" Sério? Isso era tudo que conseguia falar? Nem um obrigado? Ele queria se bater, mas percebeu o sorrisinho de lado dela.
"Sim, talvez hoje tenha sido apenas um desvio planejado... Você sabe que nem todo o resultado são honestos, e a mnet sempre tem um vencedor antes do programa começar... Não pira muito."
As palavras de Sn ficaram presas ali entre os dois. Suspirando ele ainda tentava compreender tudo, quando seu celular começou a vibrar como um louco, era Chan, provavelmente estavam ali a um tempo.
Quando atendeu, Sn se levantou fingindo não ouvir seus sussurros. Tudo resolvido, Jisung também se levantou e parou a sua frente, tentando não deixar transparecer como seu belo rosto, e cheiro o afetavam. "É melhor eu ir, muito obrigada... Por tudo..."
"Imagina, como eu disse, já passei várias vezes por isso, então sou quase uma mestra." Ela sorri, e Han percebeu que já a viu usando esse sorriso antes, com Felix e I.n, era um sorriso falso? "Mas como eu disse, não se deixe levar tanto pelo estresse, vocês vão se dar muito bem."
Ainda atordoado pela situação, Jisung se despede dela, encontrando seus hyungs, com tudo pronto para voltarem pra casa o quanto antes. Claro, que ele passou a viajem inteira tentando explicar onde esteve, e com quem esteve, e o tempo que restou, tentou entender onde esteve, e com quem esteve.

you're a very interesting person, i must say. and have excellent taste in music and media! my sibling used to really be into linkin park many years ago and they've got some banger music. also totally relate to the simp and tired dad part. spoke to my soul with that one.
what else can i ask you? i have so many questions! i'll switch back and forth between kpop questions and personal questions just to keep things interesting. so:
what other groups do you stan, if you do? who are your biases? do you see a pattern in the types of traits you like between members of different groups? any interesting things being a kpop stan has taught you about yourself?
hope this ask finds you in good health. (sorry i have a habit of formatting everything like it's a business email, im a bit whack)
sending you lots of love your secret admirer <3
I shockingly do have a bias type :')
So my Ult is Hongjoong right? Well from my other groups that are high on my list I bias, I definitely have a type xD
Group- bias
Stray kids- Bangchan [and felix]
SVT- S.coups [woozi snuck up too]
Kingdom [new to my line]- Dann
bts- Namjoon [later JK]
NCT [don't know fully]- Taeyong
Exo- Xiumin and Chanyeol
Dreamcatcher- Dami and Jiu
Gidle[ don't know fully]- Soyeon :')
Xikers- Minjae
Monsta x- I.M
Mamamoo- Moonbyul and Hwasa
Txt[dont knownfully] - Yeonjun
I stan mostly boygroups with vibes like Ateez or stray kids. Some are causal stans, others like Ateez and Stray kids and EXO I am more inclined to.
There are quite a few soloists I listen to as well like B.I/Hanbin who was my bias when he was in ikon :')
So yeah my type would be leaders that are rappers with tired/dorky dad energy. If that's them chances are imma bias them. Next would be pretty boys that can do everything :')
As for things Kpop had taught me about myself? Well a lot actually. I've grown into the person I am now because of kpop. I learned to love myself and not just how I look but the parts of me I was always frowned for. The chaotic gremliness, the simping, the daydreaming- I found family through the Fandoms and love that I would never trade [my love for the idols and what they do]. They constantly brighten my life with their content and music and just their smiles [hj especially]
I've learned to be unapologetically me, and love my life, living in the moment and love what I have now while still striving for a happy day every day. Or the best I can.
I've found my sense of style through kpop as well, it's also better helped me with coming out as NB and reinventing myself under my chosen name. They inspire me daily. Not just Ateez but all of them.
As always I hope this helps again <3 I look forward to hearing from you again!
