While I love the Terror BTS photos as well, I'm lowkey obsessed with how millennial-coded Liam Garrigan's social media posts are

The earnestness punctuated with jokey sarcasm! The excessive use of emojis! He's just like me fr fr

On a semi-related note the second volume of the indie horror comic he's working on is so close to getting funded on kickstarter with only a few days to go so maybe consider throwing something their way if that interests you!

Ch. 12: Guilty

Hyeri began shooting for her new miniseries with lots of enthusiasm. She’s determined to blow everyone away and make JJS see that she doesn’t need fake relationships and other gimmicks to gain viewers. She simply wants to act and be great at it.

Yoongi is still working on his group and solo music, but he also took on a big project for an interactive music exhibit. It’s something he hadn’t done before and he liked the idea of a challenge. However, he didn’t realize how much of a challenge it really would be. It’s more than producing and writing a song. It’s also breaking down every single element of the music in ways he’d never done before. Every instrument, beat, reverb, etc. has to be finely dissected for this exhibit. It’s taking more out of him each day and the looming deadline isn’t much help.

Yoongi and Hyeri have seen less of each other lately. It’s not something new for them, but as usual it’s not exactly easy either. While they’ve been making progress in rebuilding their relationship, it’s still nowhere near 100%, and that only makes these extended times apart even harder.

Hyeri still doesn’t trust Yoongi. She’s happy that they’ve been getting closer again, but she still doesn’t trust him. The less she sees of him the more she worries that he’ll slip back into drinking. She knows he likes to have a glass or two when he’s working, she just hopes that if he does have a drink he doesn’t go overboard.

She’s constantly checking for any signs that he may have slipped up. When he’s not home she’s checking all of his hiding places for new bottles. When he is home she stays close to see if she can smell alcohol on his breath or smell his attempt the cover it up. So far she’s found nothing but she still wants to stay vigilant.

Yoongi knows Hyeri has been working extra hard on this drama. After her falling out with JJS over her unauthorized statement, she’s felt like she has to prove herself even more as an actress. Yoongi can tell she’s been more stressed than ever and he wants to make sure he doesn’t do anything to make it worse.

He hasn’t drank a thing since he’s been back working in the studio. He knows the guys are still trying to keep an eye on him and he knows Hyeri has been digging through his things looking for hidden drinks. He doesn’t blame anyone for it, he put this on himself.

None of that changes the fact that he’s under a lot of stress though. His solo work isn’t so much an issue because he can work on that for as long as he wants and release it whenever he wants. His group work and the special project he took on however have deadlines and it’s weighing him down.

He submitted the songs he had for the group, but there were a lot of changes that were suggested he make on nearly every one of them. Each song had something that wasn’t quite right, or something one of the guys felt was either too much or not enough. He’s starting to feel like he can’t get anything right.

The deadline for his exhibition project is coming closer and that isn’t helping. He’s worked tirelessly on the project but still can’t seem to see the end in sight. He had no idea it would be so labor intensive.

Everyday he leaves the studio to go home he hears the faint whisper of the hidden bottle of whiskey in his car. Everyday he has to use every bit of power in him to ignore the temptation. If Hyeri smells it that could be the end for him.

Then he has a particularly rough day. He can’t take any more. Nothing is going right. His computer crashed before he could save his work and he had to start over. His melodies weren’t flowing right, and his beats were falling flat. He finally walked out of his studio to get some air.

His legs carried him out to his car in the parking garage. He considered going home for the day. Maybe calling it a day early will give him time to relax a little and maybe he’ll feel more refreshed in the morning.

The moment he sits in the driver’s seat he can only sigh, groan, curse, then sigh again. Going home now would just leave more work for him to have to rush through later. He leans his head back and takes a deep breath. He just needs a moment to clear his mind before he jumps back into work.

It’s a long moment. A frustrating moment. He feels so on edge and the only thing he can think to ease his anxiety is a sip from the whiskey in his car. A small sip, nothing crazy. Although a small sip is crazy for him, so he takes more than a sip.

It’s like he lost control of himself for a brief moment. His hands were moving but he wasn’t the one moving them. The moment the dark beverage touched his tongue he felt like an electric current shot through his entire body. It invigorates him so much he can’t help but take another gulp.

“Fuck,” he exhales. That drink shouldn’t feel so good.

He sits a little longer fighting with his better judgement before he finally gets out of his car and heads back to his studio. With the bottle of whiskey tucked into his pocket. He knows he fucked up. The bottle is small, it can’t be that bad.

He gets in the studio and takes another drink. The small bottle is half empty now. He knows he should stop. It’s the only bottle he has so he should save it. It’s too bad that the worst part of him has come out and forced his hand to put the bottle to his lips and finish the rest off.

He immediately throws himself back into his work. It’s strange how he feels more productive now. Maybe it’s the whiskey or maybe it’s the guilt trying to mask itself as productivity. Either way, he’s able to power through and make good progress. By the time he leaves later that night he feels like he’s actually accomplished something.

He gets home, cleans himself up, and slips into bed next to Hyeri who’s already asleep. He makes sure his breath doesn’t have a hint of alcohol smell then allows himself to drift off to sleep.

Yoongi wakes up the next morning to an empty bed. Hyeri has been starting her days extra early for her scheduled shoots. Yoongi typically tries to wake up with her just to see her off, but he’s not always able to do so like today. He slept so hard he didn’t even hear her leave which he typically does. He gets out of bed to get his day started. He makes himself a quick breakfast and gets ready for another day in the studio.

On his way there he’s hit with that sneaky voice telling him he should stop and pick up something to drink along the way. It’s tempting. He feels like he got so much more work done yesterday once he had a drink. He knows its a slippery slope though, and yesterday was only a mistake he made in a moment of weakness. He goes straight to the studio without giving in to the temptation.

Getting himself started is rough. He stares into space for about 20 minutes before he finally snaps out of it and begins working. It’s frustrating. Nothing is flowing. That spark of life he had yesterday is nowhere to be found.

He sits in annoyance a moment before his body falls under the control of some outside force and he taps a message out to one of their managers. He’s not proud of himself. He knows he fucked up. He knows it’s so damn hard for him to stop. He’s so ashamed of himself.

Though he only requested a single bottle of whiskey, his manager returned with that plus a gift with a bottle of cognac from one of the brands the guys represent. They get gifts like that all of the time from sponsors, prospective sponsors, and various companies just trying to get their name out there. The timing of this gift couldn’t have been worse though.

Yoongi knows that if he got the gift, so did the rest of the guys. If the rest of the guys got it then they know he did too. If they discover he had even the smallest sip from the bottle they would notice and probably cause a scene. So he puts the bottle up on his shelf to replace one of the decorative bottles that Namjoon had gotten rid of. If anyone were to come and question him they would see that the unopened bottle is on the shelf untouched.

Instead, he cracks open the bottle of whiskey the manager brought him and takes a big drink. That electric feeling comes back and he feels empowered. He gets back to work feeling the boost of productivity running through him.

Yoongi tends to work long periods of time without a break. He only pulls himself away from work to take a breath and another sip of whiskey when he feels the effects of the last one had already worn off. That’s how his day goes.

The next day isn’t much different. The only change is that he stops by the liquor store on his way to the studio to get himself a new bottle of whiskey to take the place of the one he finished off the day before.

The day after that, he does it again. This time he just buys a bigger bottle so that it will last him a bit longer. However that didn’t work the way he thought it would, so the following day he buys two big bottles. By the end of the week he’s downing at least a big bottle and a half a day.

Then one day, just a week shy of the deadline for his special project, he drinks two bottles of whiskey because he’s so stressed. In his mind it will give him a boost. In reality, he’s practically useless. The additional bottles of tequila and gin he asked a manager to get for him certainly hasn’t helped either.

That night he gets little done. He can’t concentrate and he can hardly see straight. He’s only able to sober up slightly when he gets a text from Hyeri asking when he’d be home. He knows he can’t go home in this state. She’ll no doubt smell it on him and get upset.

“Fuck,” he groans trying to type out a message to her.

The guilt sets in almost immediately after he tells her he’ll stay the night in his studio because he still has much to do. He didn’t want to fuck up again and give her a reason to leave. He felt like he got so lucky with the second chance she gave him, but now he’s realizing that he’s already fucked up that second chance the moment he drank the whiskey he had in his car.

He knows he can’t face her when he’s like this so he tries avoiding her. He stays that night in his studio. He goes home late the next evening knowing she’ll be asleep when he gets there. He washes up and gets in the bed next to her as if he hadn’t spent the majority of the day drinking. When he wakes the next morning she’s already gone. It’s almost as if he doesn’t have to face her at all. He doesn’t have to face the guilt.

Except when she calls him during her breaks and constantly texts him whenever she gets a moment. She may not be able to see him, but the guilt beats him down more and more every time he sees her name show up on his phone. He thought he could stop on his own or at least cut back, but every time he fails.

Hyeri is no fool. She was suspicious of Yoongi before he even gave her a reason to be suspicious. She knew he had a bottle of whiskey in his car. She found it when she was leaving for her shoot one morning and thought she had left her sunglasses in his car. At that time the bottle was still unopened. When she checked a few days later, the bottle was gone.

At the very least she knows he drank the whiskey. His behavior since then has led her to believe that he’s definitely drinking more while he’s in the studio. She knows he’ll shut down if she tries to confront him about it. Even if he admits it to her, she knows he’ll get defensive. Not only that, but she knows he likes to have a drink while he works. While she would prefer if he didn’t drink at all right now, she doesn’t want to seem like she’s attacking him if a small drink at work is all he’s having. Too bad that’s not all he’s having while he’s working.

He’s drowning in another bottle in a desperate attempt to find the motivation to get through his work. Instead he spends much too much time scrolling his phone. He goes from unmotivated to terribly guilty when he comes across an article about Hyeri.

The article talks about Hyeri working on a new drama and how she’s recovered from her car accident. Actually it talks a lot about her accident. It’s not a very long article, but the pictures included are what hit Yoongi the hardest. The first picture is just her smiling face from a red carpet event she attended a year ago. Her sweet smile that he’s fallen head over heels in love with. Then the next picture is one that was taken of her car after her accident. Until now, Yoongi hasn’t seen any photos related to her accident. He had no desire to see the carnage he felt he created. But now that carnage is staring right back at him.

He knew her car had been totaled but he never saw how the front of her car had been completely smashed in. He had no idea she hit the pole so hard that it was left tilted, having to later be replaced. The crushed metal and shattered glass feels like it’s choking him as his eyes remain glued to the photo.

“I should have been with her,” he softly cries to himself. “I’m no good for her.”

The guilt comes pouring out of his eyes and he can’t stop it. He feels so guilty for everything. He wishes he was there for her. He wishes he could have comforted her while she was hurting. He wishes he could have stopped her from going out that night. He wishes he wasn’t such a drunken piece of shit.

Through his tears he searches the internet for a solution to ease his guilt. He feels he needs to do something to make up for everything and more. He wants to give Hyeri something big enough to make up for his infidelity and his excessive drinking that he’s still partaking in behind her back. He hates himself so much.

The next day he can’t bring himself to go into the studio. Hyeri has an evening call time for once so he wants to stay home with her while he can. His guilt is soul crushing so he’d rather stay with her to stay away from temptation than go to the studio and keep making things worse. Because he knows he won’t be able to resist a drink the moment he gets there.

He starts the day making her breakfast. He showers her with love and does everything to make sure she doesn’t have to lift a finger. Hyeri relishes in the princess treatment that he’s giving her. She mentioned being a bit sore in the shoulders from yesterday’s shoot so Yoongi gave her a massage when she was done with breakfast.

Throughout the day he tells her how much he loves her and how lucky he is to have her. He mentions feeling like he’s still not enough, but she scolded him as she always does when he says those things. She knows he’s not without faults, and neither is she, but she wouldn’t still be there if she didn’t feel so strongly for him. She has hope that they can survive anything if they can survive all they’ve gone through during his tour. She knows she’s probably being naive as usual, but she’s always felt Yoongi had something special. Something she’d never experienced before. A love she never knew existed.

He caters to her every need. Makes her the most delicious food while keeping her diet in mind. He never makes eye contact with people when he’s speaking to them, but he’ll always make eye contact with her. He makes sure she has everything she needs to get through her shoot and throws in a couple of snacks that she can munch on if she gets a little hungry. He offers to drive her to set where he’ll pick her up later once she’s done. She tries to tell him there’s no need for him to go out of his way, but he insisted.

After he gets her dropped off for her shoot he begins putting his plan in motion. He heads home to switch cars. He takes Hyeri’s rental back to the rental lot. From there he gets a manager to take him to a luxury dealership where the 4-door navy blue luxury sedan he bought for Hyeri is waiting for him.

She told him not to buy her a car. She told him a few times. To Hyeri it’s too much and she would feel bad accepting something so extravagant. To Yoongi, it’s only a small piece of a larger operation to show her how much he loves her and definitely not to try masking his own guilt for slipping into his addiction again.

Yoongi makes a few more stops before he gets home. He starts by setting up the large flower arrangement near the front door. It will be the first thing she sees when she walks inside. From there he has an assortment of Hyeri’s favorite cuts of meat. She enjoys having her own bbq experience at home so Yoongi made it happen with a table grill set up on their balcony outside. In the bathroom is a full spa set equipped with face masks, bath bombs, body scrub, and moisturizers. Laying across the bed is a cozy robe and fuzzy slippers for her to slip into after her relaxing bath. Along with that is the necklace he bought for her in New York. He never sent it with the other gifts he got her because he wanted to give it to her when he got back. Of course things didn’t quite go to plan so he had it tucked away in one of his bags where he’d forgotten about it. Now he’ll finally give her the lavish necklace that he knows she’ll love.

Yoongi set up what he thought would be the perfect evening for Hyeri. He set up everything she loves and bought her a car that he knows she’s had on her wishlist. The final touch before he left later that night to pick her up, was the trail of rose petals he left going from the front door to the bedroom. She always loves that extra romantic touch.

Yoongi drove Hyeri’s new car to pick her up from her set. Since she wouldn’t know to look for that car, he parked and stood outside waiting for her to emerge from her trailer. He’s nervous and he isn’t sure why. Would she be upset with him for buying her a car when she told him not to? Would she immediately realize that he’s doing this because he feels guilty for relapsing?

“Hey!” Hyeri says approaching him. She has a big smile that lets Yoongi know she had a good day. “What’s this?” She asks looking at the shiny new car she hasn’t seen before.

“Your ride,” Yoongi says opening the passenger side door for her.

“What?” She asks while getting in anyway.

Yoongi runs around the car and hops into the driver side. He’s been sober all day and he’s proud of himself. He flashes his big gummy smile at Hyeri then pulls off to head home. He feels invigorated. Sure his guilt is the reason why he’s doing this, but the anticipation to see how she’ll react to it all makes him ecstatic.

When they arrive home Yoongi opens the door for her so she can enter first. She immediately gasps at the trail of rose petals across the floor and the large floral arrangement in front of her.

“Yoongi,” she says admiring the flowers. “What is all of this?”

“There’s more,” he smiles gesturing for her to follow the trail to the bedroom.

Hyeri walks along the fallen petals to the bedroom where she’s greeted by her new robe and spa set. She’s in awe at everything Yoongi has put together, and even more impressed when she feels how soft and cozy the robe is.

“Yoongi,” she says turning to look at his smiling face standing in the bedroom doorway. “You did all of this?”

“Yes,” he says stepping towards her. “It’s all for you, babe. The flowers, the dinner I prepared, the robe, the car. It’s all yours.”

“The….car?” She thinks a moment at the car he brought her home in. The one that did look suspiciously like the car she had been wanting for a while. “Yoongi, no.”

“It’s yours,” he says handing her the key.

“Yoongi,” she says trying to hold back tears. “How? I mean, why? For me? Why?”

“Why not?” He smiles. “You deserve all of it and more.”

“But-“

He interrupts her by placing his lips on hers. She leans in wanting to savor this feeling of him being so warm and affectionate. He hasn’t kissed her like this in so long that she almost forgot what it feels like. He’s so delicate. So gentle with her.

“I love you,” he says pulling her into him tighter. “I know I’m a fuck up, but I love you more than anything in this world.”

“Yoongi,” she says softly as she wraps her arms around his neck.

“I’m sorry for everything I’ve done,” he continues. “I know this isn’t enough to make up for all the shit I’ve done, but I will make it up to you forever, Hyeri. I love you.”

“Baby, this is all so…” she pauses unsure of the word she’s looking for to describe how full her heart feels right now. Instead she leans in and kisses him gently. “I love you so much.”

She kisses him again lingering against his soft lips. Everything she’s feeling is so overwhelming that all she can do is press her body into him harder. She continues kissing and pressing him until he falls back onto the bed with her still attached to his lips.

Hyeri can’t help herself. She hasn’t felt Yoongi like this in too long. Certainly not since before he went on tour. She straddles him and pushes his back flat on the bed. She goes in for another kiss, then slides her tongue into his mouth. Not tasting alcohol on him only fuels her more. He did all of this for her and he’s sober. This is the Yoongi she fell in love with.

Yoongi can’t even comprehend how good he feels right now. He’s missed her taste and her touch. He’d been so guilt ridden that he tried to avoid intimacy with Hyeri. He craved her touch but felt like a shitty person when he thought of how much he hurt her. But now that guilt is taking a backseat to the feeling of her removing his shirt and kissing a trail from his chest all the way down to his belly button.

Hyeri is eager and assertive in a way she’s never been before. She’s usually the submissive one. The one who simply lays back and lets Yoongi take control and send her around the world. Not this time. She’s overwhelmed with so much feeling that she hardly even gives him a chance to take a breath. She has a new drive and motivation that’s powering her to remove Yoongi’s pants and begin massaging his growing hardness with just the amount of pressure she knows drives him wild.

All Yoongi can do is let out a breathy groan at the sensation he gets from her touch. This is the side of her he’s not used to. This confidence and control she’s showing as she removes her own clothes and makes herself comfortable straddling his lap again. She goes in for another kiss and he can feel her grinding her wet pussy against him. He’s about to go feral.

His hands trace every part of her body while she’s still attached to his lips. Once she feels he’s reached the pinnacle of longing, she lifts herself then slowly, gently, and delicately slides down his shaft taking every part of him in. The mewl she unleashes gives him chills.

Her love is incredible. The way she has full control as she bounces up and down is insatiable. He reaches for her breasts and teases her nipples pulling a heavy moan out of her. Her breaths increase and all he can do is marvel at the way she starts to unravel on top of him.

She leans into him while still bouncing her hips up and down on him. Her mouth finds his neck and she bites him like she never has before. While it isn’t unusual for her to nip at his skin, this time was much different. She was still gentle as ever, but he could tell she wanted to leave a mark with that bite.

That’s exactly what she did. That was her goal. He’s hers and she’s his and she wants it to be known. For the first time, after the fighting and heartache, she doesn’t give a damn who knows about her and Yoongi. She wants the world to know.

Yoongi hisses when she slides her tongue over the mark she left. It stings so good to him. He tightens his grip around her body bracing for his impending explosion. He can tell she’s close to her end too.

She keeps her rhythm until she can’t will her body to go any longer. She’s trying to find stability when Yoongi pulls her even closer into his body and begins picking up where she left off. His hips piston into her until she lets out a loud whine and goes limp into him.

He chases his undoing with the sound of her trying to catch her breath in his ear. She means everything to him. More than he can even describe. He can’t believe he had ever been so stupid to get so drunk on tour that he let complete strangers give him blow jobs without a second thought.

No one could ever love him the way Hyeri loves him. No one could ever make him feel as good as she does when he hits his climax and cums to the sound of her moaning in his ear. She’s the best thing that ever happened to him and he did the dumbest, most unforgivable things in his mind while on tour.

He holds her tight, cradling her head and holding her against his body. He tries to catch his breath but he suddenly finds himself trying to hold back tears. He’s never loved someone like this in his life and no one has ever shown him the level of unconditional love that Hyeri shows him.

He slowly pulls out of her but keeps his hold on her body. She softly kisses his neck giving him a warm yet guilty feeling.

“I love you,” Yoongi says. He wishes he could say more but if he opens his mouth again he may lose the fight against his guilty tears. All he can do is continue holding on to her as if she would disappear forever if he let go. She means the world to him but he’s convinced he’s a piece of shit. He knows he’s a piece of shit.

Here are some red carpet BTS moments for you….

[mansionofhaunts]

I think the timing on this would have been more well-received had FCG not done his big move last episode, but also...I think they'd locked this in a while ago, and they couldn't really back away from it? Like, this is meant to get Dorian back in with the group for a bit, and probably explain what he was up to, since we haven't seen him for like...two years, at this point.

I do feel like they should have...probably just done another EXU miniseries sometime after the solstice, but...I dunno. I guess they probably prioritized getting Candela off of the ground, and Kymal was...underwatched, I'll say. I dunno! Feels like they're experimenting with how to expand their offerings, but, like a lot of brands built around personalities...it's hard to really expand that core group without alienating some fans. I think that's most clear with Kymal, but it looks like Midst isn't really breaking out, and interest in Candela seems to be dropping pretty steadily as well.

I do think about...a lot of the conversations around diversity and the Critical Role table, and I think they're all very much aware of that criticism and it seems like they want to address it. Their biggest hurdle to clear there is getting people to care when the main eight core cast members aren't there, and having a cast that large means adding anyone becomes a logistical nightmare.

I dunno! They're in a weird place, because they're pretty clearly still the big dogs in the space (nobody else has Amazon deals, for one, and nobody is currently doing livestreams to movie theaters (Acq Inc did that like...ten years ago, I think?)), but I think you can also see...I won't say the downfall of Critical Role, but you can see possibly a big slide in popularity coming, as the industry changes a bit. I think they're addressing what they can, but some of the things that are now limiting their growth are things that made them as big as they are in the first place. They can't really change the cast; people will be upset at who isn't there. They can't really add to the cast permanently; there are already arguably too many people there. They can't make the episodes shorter; their fans love that the episodes are unedited. They might be able to get away with shorter campaigns, given the drop in viewers over time (I know people like to do thinkpieces about why this is that coincidentally confirm their own opinions about the series, but I think it's mostly because it's very easy to fall behind after you miss one four hour episode)

Anyways: that was longer than I'd planned, but I've been thinking about the...larger bts stuff for Critical Role for a while, and tonight's episode was the first live one I've watched in months.

Oh, I suppose I shoulda been said this but uh...

Requests are open!

I'm accepting requests for any of the fandoms featured in my masterlist (with the exception of BTS, who I no longer write for) but a few specific characters/au's currently have priority:

(In order of priority)

Characters:

Miguel O'Hara

Ratonhnhaké:ton/Connor Kenway

AU's:

Yandere

Spider person!reader (for Miguel)

Modern (for Connor)

These only take priority because they're the characters and universes that I currently have the most inspiration for. (Seriously, I pumped out like three long ass, super detailed posts about Miguel in the span of 2 days. The brainrot is very serious. 🙃)

Also, I'm currently working on a couple things:

More Yandere!Connor Kenway content

A Miguel x reader secret relationship drabble (potentially "miniseries")

So, if you've got any thoughts/tidbits to share/things you'd like to see regarding Miguel or Connor, feel free to shoot me an ask!

Requests are now closed! Please visit this post for more information.

I’m obsessed with your bts video diaries content, it’s SO fun

And I am having so much fun writing it, Kind Anonymous Friend!

A TV show isn't ever just a TV show, right? The Band of Brothers cast and The Pacific cast are still doing panels and appearances and it's just really fun to imagine what the half-life of this imaginary TV show and its imaginary actresses would look like. It's like...creating fake ephemera. And this is a fake history in a fake universe, right? So I have a lot of ideas about post-war life and the Girl Gang's eventual families, and a lot of that works alongside the question of 'what would it take for you to tell this story to someone'. We know that in actual history, men came home and didn't want to, or couldn't, talk for a long, long time. How much harder would it be for a woman? And there's an issue, too, of figuring how this story would be cut for time, or who they'd focus on more.

(I think the show's main perspective characters would be Joan, Marj, Doris, and Billie, in case you were wondering.)

If you've got a specific Darkening Sky scene you'd like some miniseries commentary on, send the name of the scene, or the topic, and the 🎥emoji!

You know what I want as a fan of The Monkees? Three things: 1. I want a documentary of them making Headquarters ( there had to be some video hopefully) showing not only how hard the boys worked and want they had to go through to make this album, but also how they were together in the studio when they were allowed to do want they wanted. 2. A real true biopic or miniseries like Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman, Elvis, etc. showing the good, bad & ugly. All of it. Seeing their story finally get

(cont) told letting people know all the BTS. Really good actors playing them and getting into the all of it. I even got a title Hollywood, Listen to the Band. Not only is perfect because it was the last song they played together before peter left, but it's what they were asking the whole time. Finally 3: Restored concert of either Japan ( there is suppose video) or any concert showing the amazing show these boys put on. We've heard audio and see some in the tour ep, but imagine if we could see a full restored concert in all it's glory showing everyone what they did and were capable of. So yeah that's my three. Sorry for so many messages, Tumblr kept cutting me off. I just feel their story needs to told and their hard work needs to be seen. If people knew maybe they see them differently and with more respect, What do you think. BTW, I LOVE your blog! I've been browsing through it and it's one of the best Monkees blogs I've seen. Thank you for it :)

omg this was such a joy to log in and see! thanks for sharing this insight. but, to add to what you're saying, YES YES YES. TO ALL OF THIS. re: the movie -- you're so onto something. like, i don't see as much of it now, but since i'm kind of the old wine aunt of monkees tumblr, i remember the days when we'd all sit around and just make a complete mockery of the daydream believers movie. and, while it's in no way a perfect movie (or even a good one, lmao) it just proves that there's a good story at the heart of the monkees' tale. it's a perfect found family piece -- four people from different walks of life coming together to make something great. i think their story would resonate better now than it did in the '60s (mostly because i don't think our society cares much about the concept of 'selling out' / authenticity is viewed differently now than it was in 1966).

i hope we'd be able to see more concert footage, too! they were a great live band (AND still are, speaking as someone who's been fortunate enough to have seen all of the different lineups, save the four of them and micky, davy & peter) and their live show was truly where they cut their teeth. correct me if i'm wrong, but mike or peter (or was it MICKY? google is free, but i'm too in the zone to double check) has/had a great quote saying that when they were on stage, just the four of them, was when they really became the monkees. they became a real band -- i think it was micky, just because that's one of his go-to quotes (kind of like the shrek/i'm a believer one). thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts with me & the kind words about the blog! i'm happy to spread some love and light & i'm glad you found my content and like it. thank you endlessly!

Voiceplay-adjacent Visuals - Blue Christmas

And so we come to the last post in my 12 Days Of Christmas In July miniseries!

Geoff's cover of Blue Christmas was released on the 16th of December, 2023 (last year), on the same day that VoicePlay released their Jingle Bell Rock video (the premiere of this video though was scheduled an hour later than Jingle Bell Rock).

Now usually if I don't know the song whatsoever, I'll just go in blind, but I made an exception for this one and went to go listen to the original version the day before the video dropped (and plus with Christmas songs there's entirely a chance that you've heard at least part of it at some point and forgot about it/never learned the title). So I was like "okay so this is gonna be a more sombre video? A bit like Ain't No Sunshine maybe?" (Note that the video thumbnail was different during the YouTube Premiere thing to what it is now) But trust Geoff to subvert expectations!

Anyway, let's get into this!

Apparently this was filmed at College Park Laundry and Dry Cleaners, according to the video description

Huldra has a video on her channel (linked here) pointing out the "easter eggs" and other cool visual stuff in this video, which includes identifying most of the clothing that shows up in this video - most of it has been worn in other videos! (E.g. the grey shirt on the rack on the right, just behind the white shirt, is the shirt that Geoff wore in Way Down!)

We love a cool title inclusion!

Let's get it out the way now: His hair is super lovely in this one, and that shirt looks great on him. Alright moving on!

"I'll be so blue just thinking about you"

Apprently this is likely a little nod to the little "lip curl" that Elvis was often known to do, or something like that. Google it!

"Decorations of red..."

"...on a green Christmas tree"

(The shirt colours match up with the lyrics!)

This is one of the shirts Geoff wore in Saddle Up!

The original song really isn't that long, so Geoff decided to extend it a little bit, and frankly I don't think any of us were prepared 😂

Quite frankly the usage of the phrase "my transgressions are numerous" should be the first tip-off that this isn't going to go exactly the way you think it might 😝

Oh Geoff...

(Apparently this whole text message bit is a kind of amusing homage to common tropes/themes in classic country music breakup songs, or something like that)

I like the way he looks up here as if looking out at snow that's beginning to fall outside! (Also he's kinda adorable here ngl)

Rockapella shirt! Geoff's worn this in one or two VoicePlay BTS videos iirc

Mostly I didn't really have any issues with the way Geoff was folding the clothes in this one, but then he got to the hoodie and I was like "oh honey no" 😅

Kathy! :D

Awwwww

(Also look at the laundry baskets! They changed from grey to white!)

Awwwwwwwwwww <3

And check out the gramophone logo at the end of this one! In full colour rather than black and white!

And that's a wrap on Blue Christmas, and that's also a wrap on my 12 Days Of Christmas In July miniseries! So I probably won't be doing any more Voiceplay visuals or Voiceplay-adjacent visuals for a while (not till October at the very latest!), but I'll try not to let this blog go completely quiet. And my inbox and DMs are always open! See you around, y'all!

TAJ 🔍 RUN BTS! • #11-13

Disclaimer Please note that this is for entertainment purposes only. What I comment on is purely observational, and there is no way for anyone to know the true nature of these dynamics and what motivates them without actually being a presence in their lives or a direct confidant(e). Any statement made that inadvertently comes across as "factual" should be understood as an implication within the boundaries of my perspective.

Introduction The first time I thought about doing this, my goal was to focus on the interactions and development of Jungkook and Jimin. This "miniseries," if you will, went through several iterations as I was watching Run BTS, and I decided to be a bit more inclusive about how the group behaves/interacts with one another with an emphasis on Jungkook and Jimin, when applicable. I believe doing it this way provides a better context and contrast.

Also, my observations won't really take their other content into account that was happening around the same time. I might say something that contradicts a Bangtan Bomb that was released roughly around the same time, for instance, so just be advised. Anyone is more than welcome to chime in with interesting tidbits from other content (if it's relevant).

If the episodes are short enough, or I don't feel like there's much going on, I'm going to fit several in a post.

Episode 11

How many times can I praise Yoongi and how delightfully animated he is? A lot, evidently, and I should start a drinking game every time I mention it. I'm kidding—but it speaks to how pervasive the narrative of Yoongi's alleged persona had been until just recently, and how egregiously incorrect it had been. If only those same people had taken the time to appreciate the shows that highlighted their real personalities and dynamics, but this is arguably one of the least problematic and irritating narratives pushed by the fandom as a whole.

We're also barely into the series, and it becomes clear how impressive it is that they've carried this show on their own compared to their traditional TV counterparts, where having an ever-revolving cast tends to be essential in maintaining a steady or increasing public interest (with some exceptions). We see it in later episodes where guests serve as guides or assistants, but they're notably never brought in as part of the main cast. Furthermore, traditional variety shows often capitalizes on caricatures of a persona, so it wasn't unusual to find out that an individual was nothing like they portrayed themselves for entertainment. Putting this into perspective, it highlights the group's natural charisma and how well they bounce off each other.

Side note: Perhaps one of my more dividing observations, but having seen content with BTS as individuals, I personally see them as a rare example of groups that work the best together than they do apart. This isn't in regards to their musical endeavors—in which they present very different strengths and stylistic preferences—but rather their public appearances on entertainment broadcasts.

The irony of Hoseok playing an emo kid (into literature) is that while he didn't capture the essence of one in this episode, he is and can be that quintessential “emo kid” (hello, Jack in the Box?). Though honestly, the emo kid 10+ years ago evokes a very different image than what we associate it with in today's culture. I feel like Hoseok ends up portraying a stereotype of a drama kid more than an emo kid, but that's just me.

It’s generally funny and interesting to me how the roles they each received (or for most of them) seem more like a parody of how some fans viewed them at the time.

Also, can we appreciate how unflinching the members are when Yoongi is revealed in his costume? From what I've seen in other variety-like shows, when a male cast member is forced into female clothing/appearance, it's done for the sake of humor and people react accordingly (there are also other questionable layers to this, but that is an entirely different topic). I suppose we could attribute the non-reactions to the scenario they're playing out and how seriously they're trying to assume their respective roles, but I feel as though most people in variety would've already broke character.

I think it's more a testament to their comfort in their masculinity, and how they don't necessarily view it like, “Haha! He's dressed like a girl!” but more like, “Well, this is what they gave us so it is what it is.” (Granted, I haven't watched the Behind-the-Scenes, but even if the members got it out of their systems prior to filming, most people in their situation would've still broke character. It's one of those things that can come off as too absurd not to laugh at, especially if there's an underlying discomfort that exists. This is more obvious in a lot of older variety shows in the 90s and aughts.)

Namjoon's portrayal of a "nice but slow-witted" kid is making me cry-laugh because he's obviously trying to play the role to the best of his ability, but it's really not landing.

I know Taehyung is, first and foremost, a member of BTS. But he is a true actor. I will be very surprised if he doesn't end up in a movie (main or supporting) at some point in his career.

Jungkook is really hard to watch because that's not him at all, and it's not helping that Namjoon is losing it in the back.

I hate that I was eating while watching this because Taehyung's interruption of Hoseok's courting by sneezing had me choking. His sneeze is the sneeze that can be heard 'round the world.

Yoonmin's Tom & Jerry never fails to entertain. I think what's really funny about their dynamic is that they're obviously supportive towards one another in real life when it counts, but they've developed this habit of hiding that aspect of their relationship a lot of the time and giving their friendly antagonism center stage anytime the opportunity arises, even if it's not what the situation is calling for.

Episode 12

Jimin returning $0.50 to the police station, and Yoongi reporting a scam. The dichotomy. And I love how Namjoon very candidly roasts Hoseok and Jimin. 

Yoongi playing minesweeper. 😂 This portrayal reminds me of my dad, who was a BL litigator. He's a stereotype of anyone who works in law—very stern, no-nonsense, very busy, could whittle you down to bones if you tried to argue with him if you were clearly wrong—and one of the ways he coped with the work and hours without resorting to alcohol or cocaine (which are common vices in that industry) was playing minesweeper. I see minesweeper, I think of my dad; it's unavoidable.

This scene is weird to me in a laughable way because it was so unnecessary. I'm willing to bet that if anyone else was playing Jungkook's cop to Jimin's criminal, throwing him over their shoulder and slapping his ass as punishment for trying to escape wouldn't have crossed their minds. From where I'm standing, this kind of interaction between them suggests this kind of play isn’t entirely unfamiliar (which is not to be mistaken for anything sexually suggestive).

(Of course we see Taehyung do this with Jimin later in 2020, but contextually we could see they were literally in the middle of fooling around. I don't know who I'm envious of more in this situation, honestly.)

I'm just going to say it: I'm surprised when seeing some Jkkrs post this scene unironically as some indication of feelings. It's so obviously played up. This scene isn't even worth mentioning at all, and the only reason I'm pointing it out is because so many others have for a reason I can't fathom. This isn't directed at others who are aware of the context, but I have seen some who've taken it seriously. I think there are other Jikook moments within the show that would warrant a "Hm, interesting," but this is hardly one of them.

Jimin trying to get a reduced sentence from Yoongi and Jungkook was a lost cause from the beginning, I don't know why he bothered trying. These two, along with Jin, are near unsusceptible to his wiles; he would've had a better chance with Taehyung, Namjoon, and Hoseok, in my opinion.

I also find this scene a bit weird, even if it's all in jest. What I'm about to say isn't meant to reduce Jimin to this singular facet, but he's displaying a submissiveness that you wouldn't normally see from someone who's older in a given dynamic, even if it's playful. Even Yoongi, who lets all sorts of things happen to him, doesn't show unease or tentativeness that Jimin sometimes does when he doesn't need to feel that way, especially in a state of play. I would generally associate this behavior with the explanation that it's just who he is, but I don't recall seeing this kind of guilty deference he exhibits with any of the other members.

I wish I could make gifs because the part where Jimin squeezes past the prison bars, leaving Jungkook behind, is easily the funniest part of the episode.

I love watching Jin in this episode because you can absolutely tell how he's influenced Jungkook, especially when Jungkook acts out. It brings to mind that live (?) where Jungkook blames Jin as an explanation for his greasiness, and Jimin scolds him: "I told you not to learn those things.” If I had the time and energy, it'd be interesting to see the many ways Bangtan have influenced each other and what parts of their personality is their own and what they've adopted from constant proximity. 

RM: (to Jimin) How wide are your shoulders? SJ: 23 cm. JM: (slaps)

Jin is so funny, and this is arguably the most entertaining episode thus far into the series.

The outro with the maknae line is also very silly:

JM: Then why did we have a dance battle? TH: You were supposed to go to the cell, but I wanted to watch you dance.

Episode 13

Ah, I remember this episode, and it's equally entertaining. From recollection, this was when the series (for me) got into a well-oiled groove. Superficially, it seems like the production and ideas from the staff have improved from previous episodes.

I'm not sure why their youth is more apparent to me in this episode, but I'm feeling my age watching this. I'm curious to see how Run BTS will look like for them once they're all out of the military.

Considering how graceful Jimin is on stage when he dances, you would assume he has strict control over his body, but it makes it that much funnier when he plays these games like a newborn giraffe. Rolling around in a controlled tube over water is obviously different from a stage, but core control is a thing of his which he has in abundance. He’s adorable.

The birth of wet hair Jimin? We all approve.

Why are the lead and main dancers so bad at these balancing game? 😂 They're very cute and precious to me.

Interesting scene here where Jungkook is caught unawares by Namjoon's exaggerated charm, and yet it rarely receives the kind of acknowledgement that the same gesture receives in the previous episode when Jungkook is "affected" by Jimin's own charms. Jungkook is very obviously dramatizing the experience for the audience's benefit in both episodes. There are some genuine interactions between Jikook in the series that's actually worth mentioning, but parsing context is something I find that shippers often have trouble with, which is also compounded by tunnel vision towards their ship.

The maknae line is so cute in this episode. I think I was in the middle of a conversation with another user before I left about this, and how bittersweet their dynamics have gotten as they’ve grown older. I talked about this sometime before, but while I don't think there's anything wrong with the relationships they have with one another, the relationships they cultivated when they were isolated from the outside world has since adjusted quite a lot in their second chapter. And when I say “bittersweet,” it’s not intended to be pessimistic; instead, it’s a reflection of how they’re growing up and how different they are. That’s adulthood for you.

Spoiler alert! But I imagine most of you have already watched this, and even if you didn't, you shouldn’t be reading this.

Jin's the spy. Knowing this, it's fascinating watching him in action and how he's not only able to deflect, but also manipulates the other members' weaknesses to his benefit. He also knows when to pick up the pace, as it were, to counterbalance any suspicions his members may have by actually trying. This is one of many episodes where Jin consistently proves that he’s not only a terrific liar, but that he’s also a gamer, through and through.

––

Final thoughts adjacently related to the show: I submitted an idea for a retreat to an EA in my company for a water park with an obstacle course in Thailand. I’m crossing my fingers that it’s strongly taken into consideration because I can't imagine having more fun than this. If I choose to stay with this company for the long haul, you can bet I'll be pulling ideas from the show because if I can't have fun with BTS, I will have my fun because of them.
