𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍

#1 [name] stan right here ladies and gents and my non-binary friends 

istg the first time he was introduced to you there was full ass hearts in his eyes

obviously he thought you were so pretty and cute

but as soon as you started rambling about your love of songwriting and hoping to one day become a producer he was officially whipped

felix had to physically hold him back from embarrassing himself

and had to do so multiple times after

he becomes such a big goof around you

like he’ll be so calm and collected when you’re not around but as soon as someone so much as mentions your name he’s suddenly tripping over his feet and sweating at the brow

sometimes it scares him how in love he is with you

literally malfunctions if you even brush against his hand

man would drop everything if you needed him

not cause he’s whipped

he just wants to be a good friend duh

(okay maybe he’s a tad whipped)

makes so many excuses to be around you alone

and once snuck into jeongin’s phone to steal your number

has you stored on his phone as ‘[y/n]🥺🤍]’ for weeks before actually gaining the courage to text you

and like you were practically waiting for him to make a move cause he’s so goddamn obvious 

if any of the multiple hoodies and sweatshirts you own of his that he insists you take to remember him by were a hint 

and you’re like,,, bro,,, u live across the street

and he’s like yeah,,, but,,, shut up

really he just wants to see you wearing his clothes

gives him that boyfriend/girlfriend fantasy

he’ll never actually make a move cause he’s so damn insecure of himself and thinks you deserve someone much better that’ll be around more than him and omg he’s so dumb just kiss him

it’ll make him so happy

until then he’s just happy admiring you from a distance

but you can bet your ass once you guys actually start dating he’ll be 10000% more smitten than he was before

𝐋𝐄𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐇𝐎

freaked out by his feelings and shows his love for you in the form of relentlessly teasing you to the point where you think he hates you

but really all he wants more in life is to kiss that dumb smile off your face

doesn’t realise how intimidating he comes off to other people

swears he’s staring at you all dreamy and in love but literally all you can see is (ಠ_ಠ) looking at you from across the room

will rant to his cats about you

hand to *god* if they could they’d be rolling their eyes at him

will blush like a mfing teenage girl once you start easing up around him, playing into his teasing and realising he’s just a big cat loving softie behind all those bitchy side eyes

has threatened to beat ur ass on more than one occasion if you ever tell anyone though

the others catch onto his little soft spot for you as soon as they catch him letting you get away with things he’d bitch at them for

like this one time everyone was going on a small road trip

minho was driving and before you could even open your mouth jisung was already pushing past you yelling ’sHoTgUn’

only to get yanked back by the collar of his shirt before he could even reach for the car handle

and minho is just staring down at him like

🧍‍♂️ that’s [name]’s seat

lets you use the aux cord too

buys you this cute little kitty mug for your birthday

leaves out the fact that it was part of a couple set and he has a matching one back at the dorm

but one day you catch him drinking out of it while visiting the boys and you just send him the cutest little knowing grin ever and this mf is choking on his coffee

clutching his heart, falling off his seat, slamming his head against the table from that one smile

you’re the first person he goes to when he has a bad day

just feels like he can actually open up to you 

and you’re just so comforting to him, it makes him love you even more

and everyone thinks you’re such a dumbass cause how have you not caught on yet??? this man literally stares at you as if you hung the stars in the sky???

he'll pine after you for a long ass time before he actually confesses to you cause he doesn’t like to be vulnerable in front of others and he sucks ass at voicing his feelings

teasing gets 10000x worse when you start dating

(if you don’t get along with his cats though it’s a deal-breaker, no matter how cute ur dumbass is)

𝐒𝐄𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐁𝐈𝐍

heart eyes

literally as soon as felix introduced you to him he’s fucking twirling his hair, kicking his feet and shit

doesn’t know how to talk to pretty girls so after you’re done introducing yourself to the other boys and turn to him he’s just like

hi

you know that one time chan and sana from twice did a live together and changbin was just in the corner like 🧍‍♂️

that’s him all the time around you

he’s not above making a fool out of himself

does things he would never normally do

lets you paint his nails

but insists it has to be black

cause he’s a man™️

doesn’t stfu about you

like he could be talking to someone about smth completely unrelated and he’ll just randomly go

‘omg did u see what [name] was wearing today?? she’s so pretty??? she could literally pull off anything?? did you know she has a pet guinea pig?'

and the other person is just like okay changbin go home

like don’t get me wrong the other guys love you like their sister but not when they have to pull this guy away from some random trainee that he decided would be the perfect victim to dump all his [name] rants on

pays sm attention to you

will make you feel like the only girl in the world istg

like you could just be casually talking about ur day and he’ll be soso silent, staring at you with literal fucking stars in his eyes like :) go on :)

just loves to hear you talk

thinks the little twinkle in your eyes and the grin tugging at your lips when you’re ranting about smth you’re passionate about is the prettiest sight ever

will go into full on hysterics if you ever make the slightest change in your appearance

dyed your hair? heart palpitations. decided to wear glitter on ur lids? sweating at the brow. wearing that cute little skirt you recently bought? yeah he’s dying right there on the spot.

probably has a private twitter account where all he does is cry about you

pines for so long before making a move

and he’s just so nervous and can’t keep his cool at all

literally wants to punch himself in the future once you start dating and tell him you wanted him to make a move every time you saw him 😭

he’s a dumbass but at least he’s a cute one

𝐇𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐘𝐔𝐍𝐉𝐈𝐍

he’s such a flirt

and you don’t catch the hint he’s basically smitten with you cause the way he flirts with you is the same way he flirts with felix 😭

normally very confident when approaching people he’s interested in but smth about you just makes him go into windows.exe shutdown mode everytime he’s able to hype himself up to finally tell you he likes you

approaches with such a pretty grin, hearing his heart in his ears and a little voice in the back of his head that sounded far too similar to jisung saying ‘u got this’

but the moment you look up at him and shoot him that damn smile of yours he’s just like

:o

you swear to this day you could see a little buffering symbol above his head

and he really can’t think of anything to say for the first time in his life and omg you’re looking at him and doing that cute little confused head tilt you always do and he can’t open his mouth and okay now he’s walking away 

you’re just like 😃👍 ok

forbids you from mentioning it to this day

will have n o problem sitting in the corner all sulky if he feels you’re paying too much attention to the other boys

and will get petty about it

like

‘oh why are you over here talking to me now? thought u were having fun with your bOyFrIeNdS’

and ur like oh okay i’ll just go take my attention somewhere else and now he’s running after u like nO WAIT

lets you braid his hair :((

finds your presence so comforting no matter how much he loves to tease you

sometimes he’ll just facetime you after he’s had a rough day and you’ll just both sit in silence while sketching together

loves your little doodles no matter how shit you think they are

hides the fact that most of his recent artworks are of you <333

whenever you go on day trips with him he'll always have his camera

and like a 9/10 chance most of the photos he takes that day are of you

but if you catch him he’ll become all tsundere and be like ‘yOUR UGLY ASS WAS BLOCKING THE VIEW’

and you’re just like okay then explain the blush on your face

has matching rings with you

actually gifted you the ring and just decided not to mention he also has the same one

bro grifted you

you’re dating before you even know you’re dating okay? okay.

𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐉𝐈𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐆

another that makes a fool out of himself for your attention and has no problem doing so

has matching friendship bracelets with you and literally wears it everywhere

even on stage

doesn’t care about the fact that it’s bright pink with little flowers and butterflies attached to it

he cherishes that thing with his mfing life

so obnoxious but in a cute anime girl way of course

if you’re on the other side of the room his first instinct is to make a scene and be the loudest bitch in there to get ur attention

will send you good morning texts everyday without fail

but this guy wakes up at like 2pm on a good day but it’s the thought that counts !! 

so whipped and its soso obvious that the others just wanna grab your head and shake it until you finally realise half the love songs on their albums are written about you

one day when you complimented his shirt he made sure to wear it every time he saw you for the next 2 weeks straight

until the point chan literally had to rip it off him

he’s a such a fool

loves when you randomly show up to the studio during the middle of the night cause you ‘had a gut feeling he was overworking himself’ and he swears he falls even more in love with you in that moment than he already was 

and you just look so cute and sweet bundled up in his sweatshirt, hands carrying all his favourite foods and the sleepiest look in your eyes

lets you cuddle against him while he works away on his tracks 

and has to clam himself down from squealing like a teenage girl once your head starts to slump against his shoulder and cute little snores leave you

has the most precious smile on his face

swears he sees a flash coming from the door out of the corner of his eye

and as he’s turning around chan and changbin are hightailing it out of there

becomes his favourite photo

and the rest are just like??? how tf do either of you not realise how smitten both of u are?? 

spoiler alert: its cause ur both dumb af

will literally do anything you ask

will drop everything to come over to ur place at like 1am just to eat cheap ramen and watch some shitty rom-com he’s already seen with you 100 times before

complains he hates them the whole way through

(lets ignore the fact that he actually loves them and can recite legally blonde word for word)

you guys both have a nightly ritual of doing face masks and skincare together when he stays

says he hates it but his skin has never felt so soft???

takes him awhile to actually realise you like him too 

and everyone is just like bRO HOW SHE’S LITERALLY WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER!! THIS GIRL LITERALLY WORSHIPS YOU?

but jisung :) an oblivious cutie :)

got the whole jype building frustrated af

the whole of twice and itzy 100% ship you two together on a daily basis

anyway [name] and jisung cutest couple 2023 guys get into it

𝐋𝐄𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐗

incredibly sweet but you just think he’s being nice so it’s very frustrating to everyone around you

loves skinship

in general a very big fan

but even more when it’s with you (or hyunjin)

lays his head on ur shoulder while watching some low budget movie, gives you the tightest hugs when you meet up and can’t help but brush his hand up against your own for some type of contact

no matter what it is he always has to be touching you

makes plans with you and is like ‘oh yeah, the guys are gonna meet us there!!’

and when you finally get there its just him sitting waiting for you like :)

literally goes ‘oh no !! they cancelled last minute, guess ur stuck with me <333’

and he’s so cute that you can’t even be mad when he decides to be a devious little shit

probably forces you to learn new girl group choreography with him for tiktok

and if you accidentally run into one of the twice members while visiting him during practice this guy will literally lean down and whisper 'don't embarrass me' before ditching ur ass to do the pop choreo with nayeon or some shit

buys you stuff all the time

as if you’re actually dating

once he bought you this little bracelet (for no reason other than ur cute, the bracelet is cute, be cute together) 

gives it to you with the prettiest smile and is just like ‘thought of u !!’ and ur just looking at the price tag like felix this is $500…

this mf insists on holding ur hand in public and people always mistake you for a couple

and when they comment on how cute you guys are and you go to correct them but then felix is butting in like ‘thank u!! :D’

literally gets withdrawal symptoms when he goes home to australia to visit his family

will have no problem calling you at 3am just to hear your voice

his phone lockscreen is 100% a selfie of the both of you

also almost definitely has an album on his phone dedicated to you

filled with cute photos he took of you when you weren’t looking

and will scroll through them at midnight with the most lovesick grin on his face

basically becomes his nightly routine

when one of the other boys are like ‘hey, consider this. maybe felix does all this stuff cause he likes u? idk, just a theory.’

and ur just like hahaha nooo he’s just being nice :D

cue ot7 wanting to rip their hair out over you two stupid asses 

𝐊𝐈𝐌 𝐒𝐄𝐔𝐍𝐆𝐌𝐈𝐍

he thinks he’s flirting but really he’s just being an asshole

lucky for him you think he’s a cute asshole

when you first become friends with the rest of the boys you legit thought he couldn’t stand you cause he was sulking in the corner not talking to you once

but really he was just grumpy that the others were taking up all the time of the pretty girl he wanted to ask out

also struggles to look you in the eyes the first couple weeks

cause wow ur so cute

eases up around you when he realises you’re just as dumb as the rest of them

becomes ur best friend in the span of a week istg

sends you this and is like ‘omg, [name]!! someone recorded u in the shower and sent it to me!!’

and you have to resist the urge to drive to the dorms just to beat his ass into next week

extremely protective of you though

if anyone ever tries to mess with you he’s straight over like ‘hey >:( only i can make fun of her >:((‘

100% that childish schoolyard crush where the boy pulls on the hair of the girl he likes

whenever the guys ask him if he wants to hang out he’s like,,, with u losers??? fk no

and chan just goes oh okay well [name] is gonna be pretty disappointed 

and this guy is suddenly all up in his face like …..😳 [name] will be there??….😳

and chan has to restrain himself from grabbing his phone and snapping a picture cause kim seungmin just fucking blushed

likes his own space but he never minds when you decide to come over and keep him company

joins you when you decide to bake at midnight

not to help

he just likes making a mess and pissing you off

randomly decided he likes seeing you in his clothes so please expect his hoodies and sweatshirts to ‘mysteriously’ appear in your room

(really just wants to see how cute you look wearing them)

literally feels his heart get soso warm when you wear his sweatshirt to the dorms one day

and will be like ‘see, [name] loves me. we’re practically dating’ to the other boys

and minho is rolling his eyes and saying ‘as if u pussy’ and now seungmin is ranting with tears in his eyes about how it’s H I S sweatshirt you’re wearing not minhos

petty af

whenever he’s being grumpy he’ll snap at you to go bother someone else

and immediately regrets it when you sulk out of the room

but he's also a dick and just sits and feels sorry for himself for a few hours

later when he goes to find you to apologise and sees you playing video game and goofing around with jeongin

him af

will make it up to you always 

he’s just so in love with you and doesn’t know how to handle it :(

𝐘𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐉𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍

first of all can someone save this boy cause he sure as hell can’t save himself

freezes up anytime you come into the room and won’t say a damn word to you

is perfectly content staring at you from across the room for the rest of his life if that means not embarrassing himself

cause he 100% would if he even attempted to talk to ur cute ass

the only reason you two even became friends was because hyunjin got sick of your pining and locked you in a room together

and you’re just watching like :( as jeongin is banging and yelling at the door to let you out

and you think he’s not interested in being friends with you but really he’s practically seconds away from having a full mental breakdown at the mere thought of being locked in a room with a pretty girl with even prettier eyes

notices your sad stare avoiding him and suddenly he wants to beat himself up for making you feel like that

semi-explains himself

he’s just an awkward little bitch really

leaves out the fact that he’s pretty sure he’s in love with you and doesn’t know how to act like a normal human being around you

cue to the both of you finally being let out like three hours later cause the guys got suspicious from the lack of noise

and there you two were knocked out on the bed cuddling like two cuties :(

istg it was chans lockscreen for a solid year 

after that he’s even more smitten with you

if he’s ever on his phone the boys just assume he’s either stalking your insta or texting you random memes and thinking it’s flirting

but really he’s texting you the same way he’s texts seungmin so???

will show up at your apartment at like 2am and just be like ‘c’mon lets get food’

and now you’re sitting in some shitty ramen place and it’s cold and the lights above you keep flickering

but jeongin is sitting across from you looking so cute while trying to slurp up noodles that never seem to stop and you couldn’t be happier

uses his cutie maknae card to get out of practice earlier

just to visit you while you try to study/work

aka him annoying you until you cave and pay attention to him

will play video games with you

and claims he ‘let you win’ when you beat his ass

always makes the cute scrunchy face when you hug him and be even the slightest bit affectionate with him

and swears he hates it

but really he has to stop himself from locking himself in his room and squealing into his pillow like a 14 year old girl whos crush just looked at her for the first time

i repeat

someone save this boy

in love with you for a good two years before he even thinks about making a move

he’s just shy when it comes to his feelings but trust me when you guys start dating he’ll be the most annoying little fucker ever <333

[brf-rumortrackinganon]

That Eden specifically called them “William’s friend” makes me think it’s a Windsor who has friends in common with William, which is probably more likely Frederick or Gabriella, than the Yorkies. But as far as I know, the Kent branch doesn’t leak…except it was the Kent branch of Windsors that Eden referenced by name when he was talking about the crowded balconies. I think it’s from that side of the family.

I agree. A royal watcher on Twitter was oddly furious about the balcony this year and complaining that the extended family were being “disrespected”, particularly the Kents. (They weren’t this worked up the previous two years.) They’ve previously claimed to be friends with some of the Kents and tend to lose their temper very quickly whenever someone brings up Lady Amelia liking that IG post about turning BP into a gift shop. Various weak excuses such as it wasn’t her account (there’s screenshots, it WAS her handle) or suggesting she didn’t read the post first.

I think the source is a more distant relative who has absolutely no chance of becoming a working royal, and thus no chance of getting back on the balcony if it stays this way. Even if W doesn’t currently intend to have any of his first cousins, I think they do realise that there is always a small chance for them as he doesn’t have any other siblings like Charles. This is likely someone whose PR plays heavily on their adjacency to the BRF (e.g. Amelia - “the most beautiful royal”).

I agree - it’s someone whose career is heavily connected to the BRF, like Amelia and/or her siblings. And really, they’re the only ones it could be, from my perspective.

Since this topic seems to be generating some excitement from anons (going by my asks, the top 3 options are Frederick Windsor, Princess Eugenie, and Amelia Windsor). Let's dig deeper into it!

The Mountbatten-Windsors branch:

Peter and Zara couldn't give two shits if they're on a balcony or not, and their kids are too young to know what kind of "marketability" they have career-wise or attention-wise for being connected to the royal family. Not only that, their kids are very close to William's kids. They're in a pretty safe position as far as access and privilege goes. It's definitely not them.

Harry and Meghan. Well, there's a lot we could say here, but we're not going to look that deeply at them. All I'll say about them is this: Eden is not one of their usual sources when they leak, so I'm skeptical it's them but Harry does (or did) have a lot of friends in common with William so that's the most plausible "William's friend" excuse to me. But the guys who are legit still friends with William know better than to leak, so it wouldn't be those friends (like a van Straubenzee, Grosvenor, van Cutsem, or Pelly). It would be someone with a tenuous connection to William - maybe a friend of a friend who knows Harry better.

Beatrice is also close with William and she has her own career going for her. Edo also has his own career and he seems to be pretty financially set that Beatrice, and their children, probably have a super comfortable life and don't need the BRF as much. It's not her.

Eugenie is still a big question mark. She seems loyal to the crown for now and while she does have a chip on her shoulder, she does know which side of her bread is buttered. She is also probably fully aware that leaking about William guarantees a ticket of no return to Excludedville and after getting the invite to the Cousins Garden Party after being on the outs for a couple years, I don't think she's going to risk being "in," so I don't think it's her.

Louise and James have been raised with the expectation that they won't be working royals, not even part-time the way Beatrice and Eugenie were back in the day, so it's definitely not them or their friend circle (who are much too young to have friends in common with William).

Anne and Tim don't talk to the press, and neither do Edward and Sophie, like this. Andrew and Sarah do talk to the press and have leaked about the main branch before, but I don't think this is them. They wouldn't be quoted as 'William's friend' but - BUT - Eden had an exclusive from Sarah a couple days ago (about whether she and Andrew would remarry) and this nugget could've come up then, from Sarah.

The Duke of Kent branch:

The Duke and Duchess of Kent have never leaked or spoken to reporters, so I'm fairly certain it's not them. Besides, they're probably too old-school to think about going against the heir, and they probably raised their children (the Earl of St. Andrews, Lady Helen Taylor, and Nicholas Windsor) to be more ordinary than royally-privileged.

The bios for the Earl of St. Andrews and his wife (the Kents' eldest child/first son) on Wikipedia read like they enjoy the professional privilege that comes from being connected to the BRF but don't seem to be flaunting it. It's not them. And I doubt that they have friends in common with William. Edward and Andrew, sure. Not William.

Their children - Lord Downpatrick, Lady Marina, and Lady Amelia - are precisely the people who grew up with social media and thus understand how the power, access, and privilege of the BRF can further their work. Lord Downpatrick has a pretty successful outdoorsy/adventure-based travel company; he doesn't need the BRF. There isn't a whole lot known about Marina, but we do know that Amelia had/has a modeling contract and works in fashion. Marina seems unlikely to leak (since there isn't much about her), but Amelia is definitely a contender as Eden's source because much of her career is based on aesthetics and lifestyle - which she needs the BRF for.

Lady Helen Taylor, her husband, and their children. There's absolutely no easily-findable information about their four children. Even though they're the same ages as the Earl's children, and they'd be fully aware of the BRF's power with social media, the fact that they don't have Wikipedias and aren't very easily googlable hint that they're probably not the source.

Nicholas Windsor, hs wife, and their three sons. Not them. The sons aren't in the line of succession (owing to their Catholic baptisms). They have no use for the BRF because they wouldn't have had any privileges anyway.

The Prince Michael of Kent branch:

Prince and Princess Michael have complained about royal privilege before, but they also know - and respect - their places. They also wouldn't call themselves "William's friend" and I'm very skeptical that they have friends in common with William.

Frederick and Gabriella probably grew up without any expectation of royal connections and both seem to be in steady careers. They seem pretty tight with many of the Mountbatten-Windsor cousins - Eugenie is godmother to Frederick's eldest (which is odd to me but whatever), Frederick and Peter probably played together, Frederick's kids are the same ages as George and Charlotte, Lady Gabriella rode in the ascot carriage with Anne and Peter, and Lady Gabriella has been deputized by William before. It's definitely not Lady Gabriella, and I feel pretty confident saying it's not Frederick, even though he and his wife have spoken about being members of the extended royal family before (all positive, mostly about the time when Sophie was seriously injured in an accident, and Charles sent his personal chef to prepare meals for them).

Frederick's kids are too young to know any difference about what it means being related to the royal family. I do think Frederick enjoys the privilege of being related to the royal family and what it means for his career, but I don't think he cares from a publicity standpoint. Sure, he might like to go out on the balcony, but the guy's a finance executive. He doesn't need the balcony to help with his career.

The Gloucester branch:

It's not them. We don't even know a whole lot about them. The Duke and Duchess have three kids (Earl of Ulster, Lady Davina, and Lady Rose) and there's not much known about them. They enjoy the social aspects of being in the extended family but they wouldn't have had any expectation of using the BRF for career or professional connections.

The Margaret branch:

David Armstrong-Jones, Earl of Snowdon and his kids: I feel pretty confident saying it isn't the Earl since he doesn't really speak much to the press (that I'm aware of). His kids are the ages where they would be fully aware of what the BRF magic can do for them but I'm not sure. They seem to have a healthy relationship with the Elizabeth/Charles branch and I don't think they'd do anything to risk that. However, that said, Lady Margarita (David's daughter) does do some modeling work and she has her own art brands. I still don't think it's her because she was in William's wedding and if there's anyone who can profit off the royal connection, it's going to be her because all she needs to do is flash those photographs. She wouldn't complain about the balcony.

Sarah Chatto and her sons. It's definitely not Sarah. She has a safe and stable connection to the BRF and she strikes me as someone who doesn't want the attention. Her sons are of the same age who'd have grown up and know what social media could do for them, but they're not really in careers where they need publicity or the lifestyle for success; Samuel is an artist and Arthur is in the military.

So all that said, the top candidates for being Eden's source (for me) are Sarah Ferguson, Harry, Amelia Windsor, and Margarita Armstrong-Jones.

Since:

Sarah doesn't need any help getting attention for her career (or lack of it)

Harry doesn't use Eden, and

Margarita has the royal wedding pictures,

that leaves Amelia Windsor, aka the Kent branch. Who is in a publicity-hungry career, who likes social media content that criticizes the royal family, and who probably has the sour grapes of not having had any access or claim to fame with the BRF other than sharing the last name.

Also, another nail in the "it's not Margaret's side" theory for me is the Christmas walk. David and Sarah, and their kids, are often at the Christmas Walk and everyone is often being named by the press. I don't recall the Kent Windsors being on the Christmas walks recently and receiving similar treatment - so that's probably more sour grapes for whoever's the leak.

Oh, I forgot. I'm too lazy to scroll back up.

The PB branch:

Well, we know Camilla talks and talks and talks. But would she characterize herself as "William's friend"? I think that's a bit of a stretch for her.

Tom PB or Laura Lopes: Possibly. They probably do have friends in common with William, but they've never had access to or privilege from the BRF before, not even after Charles and Camilla made it official. So why would they care? I could see them caring from their kids' perspectives, but they've been around the BRF long enough to know that the affiliation to the BRF gets their foot in the door but any more than that only invites scrutiny in and they probably don't want that for their kids, and I think their kids are too young to understand the significance.

So for me, all roads lead back to Kents: it's either Amelia or Frederick, but I lean more to it being Amelia than I do Frederick.

Yes, I'm procrastinating some work stuff this afternoon. Gee, how could y'all tell?

[zafirosreverie]

You should have loved me when I told you to (Grimhilde x M!Reader)

for @lovesickgirl-bp hope you like it!

a/n: I haven't write in a while, much less a male reader, so excuse the mistakes

_________________

You always knew the queen was watching you, that there was something more in those green eyes that followed you everywhere, but you didn't know they were sending you to your doom.

You were just a peasant, a young man who was forced to work in the palace, to pay off your family's debts. The king hadn't really paid much attention to you, you were just another poor devil in his stables.

But she…she did see you.

Queen Grimhilde was undoubtedly beautiful, everyone in the kingdom knew it. There was absolutely no one who could even come close to her beauty, and she was proud as the eyes of the kingdom fell upon her. You should have been suspicious of the way the servants who had been in the palace for longer tried not to get too close.

__________

You didn't know when it started. To you, it was just another day in the stables, you shouldn't even be able to converse with the queen. But there she was, when you were alone. She was kind, warm, and completely different from the stories of the cold, ruthless queen you'd heard.

She even asked you about your family, your home, if you missed them and how big was your debt, how much time you had left to work for the palace. All the signs were there, but you were naive and thought they were harmless questions. You didn't notice the way those green eyes seemed to shine with something dangerously close to obsession.

It didn't take you long to realize that you had her favor. It wasn't something to take lightly, of course, but it was comforting to know that, at least, you had your place secured in the palace…as long as queen Grimhilde protected you. After all, not even the king dared to contradict her.

But being the queen's favorite brought you a lot of trouble too. Many servants were furious that your workloads were less than theirs, and tried to make you look bad in front of the queen. But she seemed to excuse each and every one of your mistakes, no matter how small or big.

It wasn't until later that even the king began to hate you, and it was only then that you sensed that your life might be on the line.

_____________

You didn't know what to expect when the queen called you into her chambers, thinking you were in trouble, or that her apparent patience with you had finally run out.

Yet you froze when, finding yourself alone and away from prying eyes and ears, the beautiful, imposing woman had confessed her affections to you. She had you cornered against the wall, her green eyes shining with an affection no one had ever known in her before, and she almost seemed like a different person, more human, more vulnerable, when she asked you to be her lover.

There was something in the way she pleaded with you, something deep and undeniable, that for a moment, you were about to agree, overwhelmed by how deeply she truly seemed to love you.

But you couldn't. You were just a poor boy condemned to pay the debts your family had incurred since even before you were born, and she was the queen. You shouldn't even be worthy of being in her presence, much less allowing yourself to be the object of her passions. Not to mention the certain death that awaited you both if the king found out.

So, with a heavy heart and a deep sense of regret, you rejected her. At the time, you thought you were doing the right thing, that you were protecting her as much as you were protecting yourself. You should have noticed the way her green eyes darkened as you left her chambers.

_____________

The rumor began, as it often does, in the lowest echelons of the palace. Among the slaves, servants, cooks, and ladies, the idea began to circulate that you were, in fact, the beautiful queen's lover, since there was no other reason for her to favor you so much.

The lie even reached the ears of the king, and he soon had you arrested and taken to the dungeons, and queen Grimhilde, this time, didn't try to defend you. You didn't know what was going on, you were innocent, but no one believed you. No one, except her.

The sweet little princess, the tender Snow White. As beautiful as the late queen, but with an untouchable innocence and purity, typical of childhood. It was no secret that Queen Grimhilde had no affection for her predecessor's daughter, although she was not necessarily cruel to the child either. She was simply indifferent to her.

Therefore, the princess usually wandered alone around the castle, with a father who was too busy and a stepmother who pretended to be oblivious to her existence. Perhaps it should not have surprised you so much that, on one of her little walks through the palace's nooks and crannies, the princess had found the door to the dungeon, and with it, to your cell.

Snow White, bless her soul, did not seem to have the slightest notion of malice, so the idea that her own father had locked up a young boy, without the right to food and water, seemed impossible to her little mind.

She kept you company for a long time, before sneaking off to get some bread and water from the kitchen and bring it to you. At that moment, it seemed to you that she was, truly, an angel.

And so, as the days went by, the sweet princess took to visiting you daily, always bringing a little food and something to drink, and telling you everything that was happening outside. It was from her that you learned that the king had fallen ill, and that Queen Grimhilde would not allow anyone else into his chambers, not even the court doctors.

At another time, it would have seemed to you an act of love and devotion from a wife worried about her bedridden husband. However, knowing how she had asked you to be her lover, you knre she really had no love for the king.

Also, there was something about the way Snow White told it to you, an underlying danger that even the innocent girl didn't seem to realize, so deep down, you suspected there was something more to the queen's insistence on being the only one to attend to the king.

You had a bad feeling about it.

_____________

A month after you had been locked away, the news of the king's passing finally came. It wasn't really a surprise, but the way the now widowed queen behaved, cold, emotionless, and without the slightest hint of pain or empathy for the princess, shook the entire kingdom.

Without a husband to submit to, or a son to inherit the throne, Queen Grimhilde quickly took the reins and protected the power that now belonged to her, at least until the princess was old enough to rule. Although, deep down, you knew that she would not let Snow White take the throne, ever.

You wished you could do something for the sweet girl, protect her, take her away from the kingdom, away from the beautiful but dangerous demon that ruled the place now. But you couldn't do anything, not while you were behind those damned iron bars.

So you contented yourself with listening to her and offering small words of comfort, and occasionally taking her small hand through the bars. Snow White had told you that you were her only friend, because the rest of the castle staff feared the queen so much that they avoided the princess so as not to anger her.

Your heart ached for the innocent girl who had been blameless, and you promised her that as long as you lived, you would be her friend, that you would be there to listen to her.

How foolish of you to believe that the queen didn't have ears everywhere.

_____________

You never really expected to see Grimhilde again, and you had grown so accustomed to the princess's visits that when the dungeon door opened, you didn't even bother to look up.

"Bread and water, your highness?" you had asked, as always.

"Something better" an icy, cruel voice answered you.

You jumped to your feet and stared in horror at the woman standing outside your cell. The queen was just as beautiful as you remembered, but with a much more powerful, imposing, and dark aura that made your heart clench in fear.

"Your grace" you stammered.

"Silence!" She cut you off as she opened the door to your cell.

There were no guards with her, but somehow, that only made you more nervous. Instead of ushering you out, the queen entered your prison, her gaze filled with hatred and resentment, but with a veil of sadness and pain beneath. It took you by surprise.

"You're an idiot" she said "we could have been happy together, you could have ruled by my side."

You couldn't answer, only back away until your back hit the wall. You were at the mercy of the same woman, the same demon, who had an entire kingdom under her relentless yoke.

"I got rid of him so I could be with you, and how did you repay me?!" she yelled "by being friends with the plague he left behind!"

Your heart stopped for a second. You had suspected it from the moment Snow White told you the king was sick, but hearing her admit that she had been responsible for his death, for you no less, made your blood run cold as you saw there were no limits for this woman.

"Your Majesty-"

"Shut up!"

Her elegant, well-manicured hands felt cold on your skin as she grabbed your face tightly, forcing you to look into her eyes. Those beautiful yet dangerous green eyes that followed you even in your dreams, giving you no respite or rest.

"You should have loved me when I told you to" she said darkly, pulling a vial from her clothes "now you'll have to watch your family, your precious Snow White, cry for you…without being able to do anything."

You didn't know what she meant, and she didn't give you time to ask or beg. She forced you to swallow the liquid in the bottle before letting go and looking at you with hatred and a hint of satisfaction.

The transformation was painful, very painful. You felt the liquid burn your throat, your insides twist and catch fire. You felt your bones creak painfully as they shrank and rearranged and your skin cracked as feathers sprouted from it.

You screamed, screamed a lot and from the bottom of your being, but you knew that only she could hear you, and your screams, which soon turned into croaks, seemed to be music to her ears.

The queen didn't even bother to put you in a cage, she simply smiled cruelly and left. After all, where could you have gone? Now, transformed into a raven, you couldn't do anything, you couldn't go back home, nor did you know how to defend yourself in the wild, really, she had locked you up more than you already were, because now, you wouldn't even have the comfort of talking to the sweet princess, the one who would believe that you had escaped and abandoned her.

You really had been stupid. You should have run away from the moment those damned green eyes had first set on you.

Alright theory for 2.2 and the 2.0 story: "harbinger theory" (i guess calling it that just to organise the brainrot building up here)

This is building on a previous post on *that* person but more on the Storm and such

(Feel free to discuss)

Summary: Urd is the creator of the Storm, created in desperation to end whatever conflict arose before 1999 involving Zeno that backfired so badly that the whole world is being reversed piece by piece throwing time out of wack. Vertin's immunity potentially is just a byproduct of the creation of the Storm, and with new information on what happens to reverse people its possible that Urd might not be entirely immune like Vertin since in 2.2 she seems unaware of who Igor his but he definitely knows her.

Going into name meanings:

Urd - a part of the three Norns in Norse Mythology, Urd in particular referring to the past. The three Norns are known for deciding the people's fate (the other two being Verdandi meaning 'present' and skuld meaning 'future'). While Book 6 proves that the Storm reverses backwards and forwards in time it prevents time ultimately moving forward from the past.

Bessmert - immortal (correct me if im wrong)

Marta - does translate in Hebrew to "my lady" or in Roman "dedicated to Mars"

Dolores from 2.2 - the latin root translates to "pain" and "sorrow", and is commonly refers to the Virgin Mary.

I think it should be safe to assume that Vertin's mother's name is Urd (unless BP disapproves Urd being her mother but I would say its unlikely, Vertin is hunting down Urd on "gut instinct" so Im 90% sure they are related until proven wrong), since Igor knew Urd prior to the Storm as "old friends" therefore Urd is either her government name or her nickname.

The name Dolores having connotations to the Virgin Mary would fit nicely to the Messianic and Christ-like connotations already associated with Vertin.

In a previous post Ive stated Urd and Vertin share similarities especially seen in 2.2, Urd immediately giving herself her once she realised Vertin was in danger. Again giving up one's safety to protect the life of a stranger is not alien to Vertin. I theorise that Urd risked her life with whatever happened with the white marble chair on the belief it would save everyone however horribly backfiring (is this starting to sound like Carmen from Lobotomy Corp or something?).

All we know she pressed a button on the chair then walked into a white house from Igor which is a big jump to say she created the Storm. But if at the end of 2.2 Sophia says the next step for the Manus was to create Storms instead of accelerating them, why take Urd especially now? (Tbh idk why Anjo Nala as well, I assumed it was due to her powers as a succubus). This would make sense if she was the creator of the Storm for them to capture her to replicate it.

The most elusive group in R1999 is the White Marble House, seemingly the highest authority in the Foundation that even Constantine and Lucy as head of Laplace only communicated through doves. I think we meet a member when Sonetto held a trial over the Chicago Branch (props to Sonetto still being the only uncensored fuck in the series lol). It does seem Constantine and the president of the committee might make more of an appearance in 2.0 since Book 4.

Why was Urd given the chair then? This suggests potentially she was a member of the house prior to the Storm and potentially confirming which branch of the Foundation created the Storm (rule out Zeno and Laplace, SPDM and Pax Committee and the group we have not much of as the only contender here).

Let's go back to Vertin's memory, she only recalls that she saw her mother on a hospital bed and that whatever happened after led to everyone denying her mother's existence.

This is mostly speculation from here:

Urd states after she pressed the button nothing happened, so anything that did occurred in the white house. I have a feeling Vertin's recollection happened in that white house, and ofc she cannot check where since no one knows the location of the white marble house (Foundation headquarters? Where exactly?).

Now comes to why cause the Storm? I don't think Urd necessarily wanted to create the current iteration of the Storm but as a doctor or war medic of sorts sought a collective goal with Igor which led to her creating what would become the Storm. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Maybe she wanted some way to prevent the conflict she fought in from happening entirely, or her fears that created the Storm serve as the allegory to the anxiety globally people had at the time that the world would cease to exist after 2000?

(This would imply all the root of suffering for Vertin could all be traced back to her mother)

As for Urd now, what if its just Vertin that is completely immune? Marta was actually reversed and like Mr Duncan/ Mr Karson was reversed to Sao Paulo?

Right now I think Igor would be the only person who can confirm if Vertin and Urd were related maybe.

why do people ignore how much yoongi loves jk? he adores him like a little bro. no way he would do anything to piss him off esp. about jimin…

Skinship is normal over there. It happens, its a part of life. JK knows this, heck, he does it too. Y'all have seen some Hopekook moments 👀

So how JK reacts boils down to 3 things.

1) Again, he sees the way Suga be looking at his man sometimes. And not just that, he sees how Suga favours Jimin. SOPE is cool. I enjoy SOPE moments alot, but there are still things Suga will do with Jimin that he can't do with Jhope.

2) Yoonmin is the biggest Jimin ship. (Or atleast used to be. Pretty sure Jikook is bigger now)

3) And most importantly, Jikook are in the closet.

I can guran-damn-tee you right now if Jikook were out JK wouldn't have any issues with anybody. Not just Suga. Because dont get it twisted we talk about Suga and Minimoni the most but JK has an issue with everyone. Man, woman, cow, tree. It doesn't matter. At the end of the day, Jimin is "his" and nobody knows. That shit has got to hurt. It has to. And worse, certain people think Jimin is dating other members. And other strange female idols. (I just saw the other say Rosé from BP and Jimin have 2 kids, a girl and a boy 🤦🏽‍♀️) You've seen it, I've seen it, JK's seen it and he hates that shit.

Here is a great thread explaining how JK did his best to debunk the rumors that Jimin was dating this lady. Note that he has never cared when any other member was in a dating scandal. Not even V and Jennie and we all know how big that got. And yet, JK just had to make sure we knew he was the one at the beach with Jimin. Not her. He's only ever done this with Jimin and Jimin alone.

He hates that people don't know, can't know. And yes, they use Fan service as a shield, but he also hates that people won't listen to him and what he's been trying to tell us for years.

I digress. Anon, yes, Suga loves Jimin and JK and would never do anything to hurt them. Not like that. What Suga does is standard skinship. JK just needs to chill. Needed to chill. Past tense. Coz to his credit he has gotten way better. He even worked on his staring, he worked on satellite Jeon (that one is still a bit difficult) but he is working on it, bless him.

I love JK man. I love his love for Jimin. (Sidebar Jimin does have his annoyed moments too, he's just too freaking subtle) I love their love. It's beautiful... they're beautiful

This IS A LONG LONG POST

It’s Odd… one minute we have stories about HRH The Princess of Wales having issues with the King and Queen (i.e. “upstaging” the King and Queen at the Chelsea Flower Show with a “Surprise” visit). Let this author stress something…

When I see a con trick, I see a con trick. It doesn’t matter if the con is being used for good or bad… the tactics of manipulation are the same regardless of the motive. It doesn’t matter how noble your cause may be, if you are manipulating people (using [insert emotion] to gain) then you’re conning people.

Some people are uncomfortable with the idea that some of the best b.s. talking cons are actually beloved figures. People are also uncomfortable with the fact that BOTH CHARLES AND DIANA ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HARRY. BUT ULTIMATELY, HARRY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HARRY.

So remember the conning trick I mentioned about “surprise” and “secret”? If not, go back to long ago and re-read. Just kidding, I will remind you. This mouse reminds the lovely readers with pleasure!

This author said that “surprise” anything never happens in the BRF. If that were true EVERY TIME MM said she was making a “SURPRISE VISIT” then it is also true for CATHERINE. That was a strategic move, and we see evidence in what is happening now.

What is all abuzz right now? Lady C, who someone in a higher part of the food chain than this lowly writer (a very well connected source, hello, source, I Hope you read this!) has reported to me has been suggested to support pushing a certain echo chamber for BP, (I can see how it is feasible that Lady C is well connected, but so unconnected she is protected connected. Which explains all the predictions she “made” in the book being somewhat directed). Point is, if Lady C is echoing the whispers being whispered in palace walls… Harry was the one who called divorce attorneys MONTHS AGO.

Remember when this author said what could be so valuable that Meghan would sit out the coronation, yet show up in a pap shot not with her son on his birthday but her friend Marcus Anderson, her known match-maker? It would seem like those MA MM jogging shots were sending the message that she is moving on. Then, she announces she is signed with a new agency… Then we have Harry rushing in and out to look like the doting father re the Coronation.

Then the façade of BP starts to crack. Catherine and Wills didn’t bow to Camilla. Camilla and Charles are mad at Catherine for upstaging them. ALL press pieces, not blind items. It would be smart for BP to fake its own proxy war in order to gain control of a new era and new narrative. They all know that drama is part of the survival. But mainly, it is clear Harry’s self-worth issues also stem from Charles, too.

After all, Diana DID die when he was younger. So Harry is moreso Charles relative than knowing of his mother relative like William. In other words, because Wills had more time with his mom, he has more of her personality imprints on him than Harry would. Harry has more of his father. And all the evidence shows Charles has strong sense of an inflated ego. All the way from coming out in interviews against his mother’s wishes to defend himself and Camilla, to what some would suggest is a big powergrab if you believe the tabloids.

Why would Catherine care who attended Charles’s coronation? She will have her own coronation to plan and decide. Yet these conflict pieces come out like it is meant to stir the drama back inside controllable walls.

A divorce rumor being leaked right at this time seems even more deliberate if you think about recent events, too.

This post is long, I know. Please hold out a bit more I am bringing it all together.

What if the bolt hole stories were leaked to make it look like Harry is a battered spouse trying to stay for the kids, but he has had enough of the manipulation and he is running. This whole bolt hole nonsense gives way to the next stage of the campaign. We’ve already had the kiss cam dodge, the rumors of separate lives, and now two bolt holes, Harry calling divorce lawyers, Meghan banging the body guard, and of course… that Harry wants to go back home. Then losing the security case after the car chase that was staged… oh yeah the car chase

That wasn’t that. What that was was an overexaggerated lie created to distract from something else. Con trick 101 class will teach you to put on a red rubber nose if it distracted the mark long enough to get the job done. What job are they distracting from? Where they were staying.

They didn’t want people seeing where they were staying. This is why the rumors have it that there were cancelations, even them begging for comps from hotels. Always hand open, never head down working!

How is it all related?

EVERTHING WITHIN THIS POST IS HYPOTHETICAL AND OPINION BTW

What if Charles never stopped supporting Harry because they always knew how it would end and they could use the optics to boost Charles’s and Camilla’s approval rating? Here’s how it was to go: Charles continues to secretly keep supporting Harry, even going so far as to go and flood media with pieces to save Harry’s face but drag MM. She figures it out by the time the Queen dies, and she stars separating. Charles gets his wish, as Harry is triggered by Meghan using paranoia to get Harry to trash the family openly. All the while, the plan was to have him do this up until after his book comes out. They’d need Harry and Charles to look so bad and hopeless for it to work.

Right when the whole world thinks Harry is gone forever, divorce rumors drop right around the time rumors about Catherine and Camilla beefing (which I suspect are planted fakes because why would Catherine care as she will have her own coronation). All of a sudden, a Hurting Harry Limps Back to King Chas is all over the news. Harry is back in the UK. Is it to file for divorce? There are no court cases active? Why is he home? Is the king sick? Is it the titles? All kinds of rumors will fly. You will see MM retaliation, too. That H was on drugs, abusive, etc. Whatever to make it extreme.

Finally, Camilla and Catherine work together to convince Wills and Charles to let Harry come back. She gets a ton of cash, the titles within limitation, and the “kids” are to be “kept tucked out of sight out of mind as much as possible”. Bet this was her bargaining chip at the coronation. Bet.

They are in containment mode people. They risk MM exposing Charles supporting them if the rumors are true. People would lose it if they knew Charles was still giving him money if the rumors are true (again HI, source!). But I could totally see the whole family being so cold hearted and ruthless at this point from all the drama that they would allow this divorce to play out as dirty as need be as long as Charles gets to claim the title of returing “Old Harry” back to his loving fans.

Gotta go. Sorry so long!

[ghostiegamer]

Had a Steven Universe AU bounce around my brain a little bit so here's what I have so far of it

PD- Queen of a very prosperous and peaceful kingdom. Lush and beautiful. Refugees come to her kingdom to thrive. Gained the nickname Rose Queen from her subjects because of how kind and beautiful she is. Throws lavish balls as an excuse to hire refugees for new jobs within her kingdom. Her kingdom is mainly fields, forests, and mountains. Lots of farmland and mines. Main export is food and gems.

WP- Head of PD royal guard. Is PD personal knight. Used to work for WD as a part of her royal guard but WD traded her for PP. Is extremely loyal to PD. Is very good with all kinds of weapons. Also has a green thumb and if not by her queens side or training, she can usually be found in the garden tending to her roses and medicinal herbs. Is also pretty good at alchemy. Is an orphan.

BD- Is generally considered a pretty merciful Queen. Will swoop in to kingdoms that desperately need help and offer to help in exchange for them joining her kingdom and acknowledging her as their queen. If they refuse, then she doesn't mind going to war. Kingdom is fairly big. A lot of her kingdom is coastal. Main export is fish.

BP- Is BD lady in waiting/heir. Very knowledgeable in other kingdoms culture and goods. Personally attends to all of BD needs. Knows how to make other kingdoms rulers lower their guard so BD can try to sway them into giving up their crown. Knows all the stuff about kingdom relations and is very knowledgeable about trade and commonly sits in and helps lead meeting about what to do with new territory's goods. Loves painting in her free time.

YD- A war queen. She tears through kingdoms either taking them for herself or leaving them for Blue or Pink to swoop in and pick up the pieces. Her kingdom is mainly mountainous. Main export is metal. Is extremely smart and very determined. Is very good at navigating a battlefield but not so much at navigating the workings of her court.

YP- Is YD lady in waiting/advisor/heir. Knows her way around a battlefield just as well as a ballroom. Tells YD everything that goes on with the commoners and nobles of the land. Is very devious and cunning. Often sits in on war meetings offering advice. Runs the court whenever YD is away at war, which is a fair amount of the time. Is very good with handling conflict and solving disputes. Often models for BP when the diamonds get together.

WD- A distant Queen. Her kingdom is very prosperous and large. She does not make many public appearances. Her pearl makes them for her. Her kingdom has several different biomes within it but it's mainly forest. Main export is lumber and weaponry. Does not often go to war, but when she does, she decimates whatever kingdom she goes against. Very few survivors. She's very blunt and tends to not waste time dancing around a subject when she can just get straight to the point. This has earned her a reputation for being cold from those who have met her. Secretly is a big softie for the other diamonds and their pearls. PD pearl use to be apart of her royal guard. Knows that she's the reason why PP is an orphan and has a disability and that's part of the reason why she adopted PP. Feels guilty for hurting a child like that.

PP- Use to be a royal jester in PD court. WD saw her at one of PD balls and thought she looked absolutely stunning. WD traded her pearl in the royal guard to PD for PP. Is an orphan. Now is WD lady in waiting and heir. Makes public appearances for WD and handles most of the ongoings of court and day to day life. Is a very skilled blacksmith and enjoys experimenting in her forge. Is also a very good dancer. Doesn't speak much when she doesn't have to. Parents were killed in an attack on PP kingdom of birth when she was a baby. This left her with a big scar across one of her eyes and partial blindess in it. Kingdom was attacked by WD forces. She is one of few survivors. Despite her scar, she's widely regarded as one of the most beautiful women in WD kingdom. Is extremely kind.

The Diamonds and Pearls travel between the kingdoms often and the 4 Diamonds are often referred to as The Sister Queens even though they're not really related. They did all grow up together though as their parents were close friends. Their parents all died due to a mysterious illness that plagued their land long ago. They're all unmarried. Most of the world is run by them with a few small countries still existing, mainly due to treaties with one of the Diamonds kingdoms.

If anyone wants to know more, please ask. I would love to talk about this and flesh it out a bit more.

[irishhorse-blog]

Hi! always like your responses so just wanted to send this ask, but it’s ok if you don’t want to talk about it more because I know it’s #1 topic right now haha

Not sure how to feel on the video, at first it could’ve been anyone! Now add the dog in , similar layouts and then a later video that came out with tattoos.. it’s harder to say it’s 100% not real, there’s more doubt now

Regardless the nature of both “JK”and that woman and JK and JM is still unknown as of right now - but it’s like, have all these jikook “coincidences” been just that? we have no way of knowing for certain but it’ll just be a big surprise if things like the hickey, rose bowl, gcftokyo etc we’re just … bro things ?😂

seemed like everything between JK/JM was more than just a “ship” because things seemed real - clearly it could’ve been and they’ve broken up, but this video just adds confusion lol

(And in the end clearly Jimin is fine with jungkook because he’s also been very supportive this year)

So, I still haven't seen the video in question, and I suppose I should watch it so I can see for myself what the kerfuffle is all about. I don't know what it shows, whether it's believable in terms of being JK with some lady or other, or if the dog is Bam or not. Some things I know:

Furniture is mass produced. Chances are more than one couch has been sold that matches the couch in JK's apartment.

There are dobermans in Korea who are not Bam.

Nothing about Jikook tells me that they've ever been "just bros", that they've broken up, that they never were together, that they're on the outs, that they could possibly be seeing anyone else, that... anything the current narrative says is true.

Based on: hickeygate, Rose Bowl ear suckage, a hundred million moments of Jungkook looking at Jimin with the heartiest heart eyes ever, the inability of Jimin to have a live stream without mentioning JK, the absolute inability of JK to do ANYTHING without mentioning Jimin at least once, JK's hours-long JImin-a-thon, satellite Jeon, your are me I am you, shirtless birthday posts, semi-secret NY/CT vacations... based on all that, you cannot convince me that there's only broship there, or that there's anything less than total love and devotion, whatever form it takes. (And I still contend bros and buddies do NOT suck each other's necks and ears.)

I'm not worried. I'm not at all concerned about Jikook. I'm more than a little concerned about the so-called Jikookers who take the least little thing as a seismic event that shakes their whole world view.

Breathe. It's okay. The video is probably nothing. Think about the timing, too... JK just released "3D", which is seeing amazing success. Its loud, prosperous debut just drowned out the latest BP bragging point about YT views surpassing BTS or whatever they were on about yesterday. Suspicious that this sees the light of day on the very same weekend, no? Almost like someone is trying to distract certain sectors of a certain fandom from supporting JK and his single during this important chart-aiming time. It's just like all the sus "they broke up" horse shit shows up right when something new drops from the boys, or when some new Jikookery comes to light.

Don't worry. This is just someone being a troll and getting their little fifteen minutes of quasi-fame and shit stirring. Just wave them off like the gnats they are and trust that ten years of clear love and devotion don't vanish overnight.

Trust what your own eyes tell you. Trust Jikook.

who are you????????? you're like so cool and you follow me on tumblr????

you had a massage job with a flirty muscle lady and now you're asking your adviser to do some work within the bdsm community and I have no idea what you even do??

you're like a cool person how is that possible on tumblr dot com

Aww, thanks. Despite all the people saying Id eventually grow out of wanting to be cool, that was a lie and the while world runs on flattery! I think im cool too, but im supposed to politely say thanks instead of hamming it up.

Im kind of a jack of dropped trades. Wanted to be a fieldresearch wildlife biologist for awhile but then dropped out to dissapoint my family and move in with my partner 4 states over. Loved being a massage therapist but got frustrated with my level of power in the medical system. (Not from clients but from insurance companies and other healthcare providers, it was so frustrating advocating my clients get their sessions paid for when they had "legitimate" pain (all pain is legit)).

So now Im working to get my doctorate in occupational therapy which is kind of like applied pt and psychology. We ask clients what they want to do, find what is preventing that task from being done, and address that prevention either by removing it, finding substitutions, or ways to help reduce the problem. Lots of OTs work in schools with kiddos who have barriers to doing homework. Some with adults who want to get back into crochet or cooking after a hand injury and we need to practice how thatl work.

Specifically I want to work with people who want to have sex, but have access issues due to health and safety. Maybe they have spinal cord injuries, maybe they have RA, maybe their bp medication makes their skin tear dangerously easily in unsexy and life threatening ways. Who better to address these concerns than the bdsm community who work so hard to design toys, buildings, furniture and mpre to support boring sex, weird sex, almost sex, not sex, wild sex, and competitive ranked sex. (Also everyone who has any awareness of the culture can clock me and my partner from blocks away even in a plainclothes setting just by posture alone)

I have to spend an entire year (at least) doing a big project for the school and then present it to people who will try to make me speak for and defend the research (this is tradition in america). I might just end up lurking at a sexual health clinic like planned parenthood but I dont want to just cover sexual health yknow? I want to help people fuck however they want! Best of all my school SEEMS to support my ideas sofar because sexual health and family planning are deeply important and very poorly addressed in our society. but we shall see how things continue to go. Love my school, they let me cosplay on a clinical gradschool campus and take my commentary on subcultures and nontraditional lifestyles very seriously.

Glad I could make someone happy by doin my thing. Thats a little about who i am

[bp-zb1fics]

Just me screaming abt KCON

(lex's list of random thoughts as they watch)

WHY DO THEY ALWAYS MAKE ONE MEMBER WEAR JORTS AND WHY IS IT ALWAYS GYUVIN PLS

Aside from that, the VCR was ayt i guess

Here I am/난 빛나 going to haunt them (and us tbh) for the rest of their career just like how 나야 나 did with Wanna One and Wannables like PTSD incoming????

But also Zhang Hao centre so deserved?? Like its a full circle moment, peak character arc development right here~

I want to talk with their stylists tho

Like??? I'm sorry I'd take the BP uniforms over whatever this is

It's giving Say My Name but give them different colored shirts that distract me

TBH the Say My Name stage outfits would have worked too, they literally just needed to make 6 more of those

Why did they do Matthew dirty with the jacket like I am bothered by that length and don’t even get me started on that shirt

BUT ALSO the individual vocals?? we love

Also for the extra observant BP fans, the way they incorporated Hao’s Me+You choreo, top tier stuff

One 난 빛나 thing I will never get tired of is the Haobin pair dance fr fr

THE WAY THEY SMILE AT EACH OTHER??? So precious

Hao is living and we are here to support it

Same that one lady wiping away a tear is me

OK SELF INTRO TIME

The way everyone introduces themselves in either Japanese or English like yes our multilingual kids

Gyuvin’s English is nearly accent less I am fascinated also man definitely practiced his sentences this time

Ik Jiwoong’s promoted in Japan before but really he’s giving veteran??

Did Matthew just say “Zerobase” or does my sleep deprived brain just not here the “one”

His smile heals my heart

Yujin so cute, it’s so obvious he practiced for it and we love

THE WAY I LITERALLY HAD TO PAUSE THE VIDEO AND TAKE A 10 MIN MENTAL BREAK AFTER HAO SAYS “HIII”

Plssavemeiswearheisntmybiasbutiamasimpforhimbutalsoirefusetochooseabiasjustyet

The little accent he had when he said “various charms in the future” like I’m sorry he sounds like literally every Chinese classmate I’ve had in uni (bc duh) like I don’t mean this that way!! (Meanies go away) it’s just that I study at a big really international university so I tend to notice the differences in accents when speaking English including my own (lol)

Hanbin is so shiny like idk what else to say

But why is his sweater that shade of pink pls

Ok and they give Taerae like one of the less bright colored outfits

And they gave Ricky a white mesh shirt…

“Did you guys miss me?” did things to my brain

Ricky also has an interesting accent when he speaks English but I’m not going to get into that

PARK GUNWOOK IS A BABY

but someone pls get his bangs out of his eyes pls

Ok I need to sleep bc it’s 3am but lemme update this tmr w the rest of their Kcon show segment

[compo67]

Could you please answer 7, 40 and 76 for Back pocket or Photo op?

Hi anon! Of course I can! Thank you so much for the ask. :D

7. How do you choose which POV to write from? For Photo Op, it's easy because I've always done it from Jared's POV. I have only a few chapters with someone else's POV (like John's, Sherri's, Jensen's). I continue using Jared's POV for that verse because I find his experience as a small town boy meeting the big time world to be fascinating. There's so much to explore from his POV, and so much drama to be had.

For Back Pocket, I switched POVs from the first fic to the second because I wanted Jensen's side of things. I wanted us to see a different side of Jared through his eyes. And for us to see how much Jensen keeps to himself--how far he has to go to open up to Jared and himself. I'm not sure when I'll get to the third installment, but I have a plot outlined and I think we'll go back to Jared's POV.

40. If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see? Omg I would be SO pleased with ANYTHING! But if I had to choose... for Photo Op, I would love to see a scene from when Jared and Jensen visited New Orleans in "Like a Small Boat." There would be so many opportunities there to depict a lot of color and pizzazz. That was a really happy trip for them and has had a big impact on their engagement/wedding.

For Back Pocket, I'd love to see the scene in the first installment where Jared is dancing to Queen in front of Jensen--with his tutu and high heels on. I love that scene so much.

76. Did you have any ideas that didn’t make the final cut of [Fanfic Name]? So many ideas! For Photo Op, I have this whole scene in my head where Jared and his friends put on a talent show at the Center. They participate with an entry wherein they dance to Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance." Jared's forced to be Lady Gaga, lip syncing and dancing front and center. But that scene in my head hasn't really fit into any of the fics so far. Sigh. Maybe one day.

For Back Pocket, there are lots of scenes I wanted to do that revolved around more music. I really wanted to incorporate more duets between J2. I especially wanted to see them sing "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles or "The River of Dreams" by Billy Joel or "Take Me or Leave Me" from RENT. Those are the songs I keep running through my head whenever I imagine up BP. There's always time for more in the third installment. I also wanted to do a scene where J2 just relax in a hammock, with Jared wearing one of Jensen's shirts, Jensen running his hand through Jared's hair. The two of them relaxing on a sunny day.

Thank you, anon. I so much enjoy these types of asks. I'm so appreciative that you want to know more about these verses. <3

some venting under the cut

i am a very big proponent of never saying or allowing yourself to believe that other ppl are 'npcs' or do not have inner life but my god the writing group i went to today tested that principle of mine to the very brink

in the discussion portion we ended up sidetracking a bit into like, robots, cyberpunk, climate change, whatever whatever, and like this one sort of middle-aged woman was like 'yeah i think our species is terrible; i like the robots better, they can have the planet' and she went on about how she felt bad about all the trash she makes or whatever

like girl the decision that the coffee u bought would be served in a cup that would outlive your children was made decades before you were born

you feel bad for driving your car but you did not build the roads and you did not determine the price point of electric cars

you don't hate humanity, you hate what a small portion of humanity has done to the world

this woman was writing in her own words a "social justice book" and i just... I cannot

corporations have sold your own guilt back to you as a pacifier. you blame yourself and other people for something you have no control over, and you think it makes you a good person to feel that way, but little do you know that your self-flagellation is a billion-dollar industry that BP, Exxon, Chevron, came up with to ensure their own survival

And even when someone tells you this, you cling to your belief that you are at fault because it feels morally safe. and you want to write a book about justice?

and on the other side of the table is a fifty year old man, who when you say you're writing a "social justice book", responds that he "doesn't think he believes in social justice"

god. how insightful, sir. how profound. how brave of you to stand on the very farthest edge of the human race; at your back is millennia of evolutions of society that can only be summarized by the majority of people trying to make life better and easier for the majority of people, and to claim you "don't believe in social justice." say more, great philosopher.

i'm not an optimist, i am not a hopeful person, but god how i am bored to death by ahistorical cynicism and the feeble pseudo-logic people use to exculpate themselves from taking any action

sometimes I think people only write stories about Chosen Ones who save the day so that they can reassure themselves that in a world where Chosen Ones don't exist, they don't have to do or think anything of importance.

*edit; forgot to mention the one lady who said she was writing a romantasy book with AI. the fact that that did not even rank on the initial list of top reasons why this meetup pissed me off is genuinely quite impressive.

[brf-rumortrackinganon]

Oooh. Here's a hypothesis that fits the available facts.

Meghan plans to wear the Spencer tiara for the wedding and designs her outfit around it. It's Harry's equivalent of William giving Kate Diana's engagement ring, so his mother can be 'part' of proceedings.

The late Queen gets wind of the idea and puts her foot down quite late in the game. Before her marriage Meghan is neither Spencer nor Windsor so it is not her family tiara. Moreover she is marrying into the Windsors not the Spencers so it is more fitting that she have a Windsor tiara. And finally it makes no sense for the wife of the 'spare' to wear a grander tiara than the future queen did.

H&M throw the most enormous strop, "what Meghan wants Meghan gets" and demand the Vlad with emeralds or Eugenie's emerald tiara or something else not on offer.

Earl Spencer withdraws his offer of the Spencer tiara. He doesn't care either way and wants a quiet life. He and Harry fall out.

The late Queen digs out an obscure all diamond tiara with a similarish shape to the Spencer for Meghan, who later puts out PR saying she'd wanted it all along (a sure sign she didn't)

Earl Spencer uses the opportunity to reconcile with Harry wants a high profile anyone to attend his IG service.

The Spencer tiara was never an option for Meghan and Harry. They probably assumed they could get it because Harry was Diana’s son and if they did enough PR talking about how much they wanted it, Earl Spencer would probably fold and give it to them. Because there was *a lot* of press about the Spencer tiara 2017-mid 2018.

Say what you will about Earl Spencer and his view of/relations with the royal family, but the man is an aristo from one of the more aristo-est families in the UK. He knows protocol and he knows etiquette. He would never give Meghan and Harry the Spencer tiara and probably didn’t think twice about it after saying no, but probably realized how big of a fuss they could turn it into so my thinking is he probably let Sarah/Celia have the Spencer just to justify it to Harry and Meghan to shut them up. (Celia announced her engagement in The Times and The Telegraph on November 13, 2017. If that’s not “shots fired” for the Spencer tiara debate, I don’t know what is.)

Meghan’s only option was a tiara from The Queen. The Queen and Angela Kelly made a selection of three or four for Meghan (same as they did for Kate in 2011) and Meghan chose from that batch. Why she picked Queen Mary’s, I don’t know. (We know Kate chose the one she did because it was the smallest of the ones she was presented.)

So in sum: Meghan would have only ever gotten a Windsor tiara from The Queen. Bar none. It was either a Windsor tiara or no tiara.

Also the “What Meghan wants Meghan gets” fiasco was in response to Angela Kelly not giving Meghan the tiara for a hair trial when her hairdresser was in town. Allegedly, tiara protocol is that they must request it in advance and coordinate it with Angela (makes sense - it’s a heirloom piece of the family collection stores in an underground vault). Meghan and her hairdresser just randomly showed up one day demanding the tiara and Angela told her “no” because there’s protocol to be followed. Meghan collapsed on the floor sobbing to Harry, Harry went storming over to BP and confronted Angela with “what Meghan wants Meghan gets,” The Queen found out about it (either Angela told her or other staffers told her) and The Queen called Harry in and read him a “you get what you get and you don’t have a fit” riot act.

And allegedly, according to Lady C, Meghan wanted emeralds for her wedding and the only reason she knew of the Grenville’s existence (the one Eugenie wore) is because she heard Eugenie talking about it.

Hmm no birthday post/ story which is weird as she always does one! Always, even when she was on set she did one! Maybe there wasn’t anything to share?? I suppose we will see this weekend but it would seem a-bit weird now? / maybe she is sad that she is 40? I dont whant to juge het but lets think for a secound, she think she is such a lead lady but since she start her career she didnt have her big brake movie, some people might say that this is BP but its questionable, she is just avreage actress with some movie roles, not populare enaught that she is still know as that blonde someone date and even when she leach from seb she dont get exacly what she whant, she pretend the whole live to be private or outgoing or whstever situation need but i dont think she hit the goals she whant, this is just my thinking. And 40 is a big number, people start to think about what they did etc. Plus it look like she stay in London probably working, but if she get something from her co workers she would post it, like she post that chris pratt introduce her to this type if energy drink so i think if she get something from her team she would post it, or like flowers to act she get them from seb yet nothing come up her post on bday was from couple days before and from what we know and post from seb fanpages she was looking at a lot of stories for her bday from seb fans, like she spend whole day scrolling threw ig, checking who post about her and what. She didnt even get too much bday wishes, but she usually post like thank u for bday wishes. Im sorry but i dont belive after how she act in this 2 years she magically turn into private person who keep this things for herself by the way she act it look like she stay alone, maybe working. Im 50/50 ready that she is geting something for the day seb will recive the award, after all he cant have all the attention on him, and even last event shiw she is ready to post old pic or hold on to pic if it onky mean she might bait and act like she is somewhere next to seb.
