#but I love it when hobie is using his guitar as a weapon it's just cool

[fiepige]

Had to slow it down to 0.5 speed but have a gif of Hobie using his guitar to smash through some rubble

[punkeropercyjackson]

An aspect of Hobie as an afropunk character that isn't talked about and appreciated enough(or ever really)is how humanized he is.So often punk male characters are stuckup white boys with consent issues and no real street cred due to whitewashing of punk culture as an inherently black scene per our history but Hobie's afropunk and he ain't no oreo.He's darkskin,his nose and lips are so big,his eyes are far apart,his brow is strong,he has wicks which are one of the most frowned upon hairstyles on black folks despite how nice they are,he's 6'5,he's ACTUALLY tall dark and handsome and they went nuts with him and i'm eternally impressed with how beautiful he is not 'inspite' of his blackness like is often potrayed but because of his blackness

Hobie is so open and softhearted and fun and he plays it into his beliefs and actions,not contradicting them as a sort of gag,he's multifaced and his personality traits overlap and contrast all at once.That's what people are like in real life but very rarely is that nuanse allowed to exist in black people as we aren't seen as,well,people.Hobie isn't demonized or made it to need to be put on a leash for hating authority and beating up bigots and even killing a cop.He's light as a role model for it.He's cringe sometimes,he does underaged drinking,he makes ridicilous facial expressions nonstop,he's got a big ego even if it's justified,he's a dad friend,he's an adultified black kids allegory,his personal(official)playlist is all actual punk songs,not Avril or Fob or P!atd,he loves the sea enough as a jamaican-english kid he choose a houseboat as his residense back when he was homeless,a concept art had him have a cat charm on his Watch,he plays guitar and uses it as a weapon,he's trans unlabeled and a black femme,he's definitely ptsd and audhd and never learned how to mask as so many black autistics people don't

And this is gonna be controversial but the implied romance with Gwen was a wonderful addition to his character.Gwen is punk too,she's canonically pastel punk and a trans girl and as trauma induced mentally ill and no masking game audhd-coded as Hobie is and their dynamic is symbolism for the intertwienment between blackness and transfeminism in punk history and a show of solidarity between different yet fundamentally similar aspects of punk and they get to bond over being troubled but good kids and punks and Gwen is so enamored with Hobie she can't help but yap about him to Miles and steal his clothes in a classic girlfriend move and flirt back when he initiates it despite how flustered she gets and the non-sexual intimacy of her living with him part time just the two of them and we know it's the non-sexual kind since them hooking up is what society expects of teenagers in love but punks don't care about conforming for normies and Hobie went out of his way to make reverse racism real on Gwen's abusive dad's ass and even forced him to leave her his love note.They're so important to eachother and the only thing stopping Ghostpunk from being the absolute perfect ship is the Spiderverse crew dropping the ball by not making Gwen a half white afrolatina(she is to me though.imma do my own thing)

Hobie Browns exists all over our existense and always have.He's the black punk kids from the 1970s,he's the black punk kids of today,he's the black punk kids i'm friends with and have pseudo-adopted as my younger siblings/kids as an older afrosolarpunk and them lacking positive adult figures in their lives so i do my best to give them what they need and want,he's ME when i was 17 and we're still so alike.I don't give two shits if i sound like a fucking geek,he genuinely means so much to me and i love him with my entire heart and soul and he would've changed my life as a lonely anarchistic afro-caribbean kid who felt like the bad guy no matter what i did or how hard i tried to be good and i'm so happy i can be what i didn't get to have to my honorary younger siblings/kids and help strangers and do all i can to fight to change the system,that i can be like Hobie and that Hobie is like Hobie instead of palpable to nonblacks

Cute but quickly turns to nsfw!

Hobie would make his person a jacket like his for their style if they might not be punk or if it is punk he makes it like his. But it still has your beliefs in the jacket which is probably similar to hobie’s. As hobie wouldn’t date someone who doesn’t believe his beliefs, it’s obvious why he wouldn’t. So on the jacket would also probably be stuff of hobie and you on there or put in it that’s hid. Like nicknames, photos, inside things between the two of y’all or he would probably spray paint you on government property to piss off President Osborn. (Using president osborn from the comics but still point stands) Or he’d teach you how to play his guitar or something. Honestly he’d be into what you’ve liked that whole year or really payed mind into that year and give you it. Then he’ll give you another present when you aren’t around friends or family or anyone. And that present is probably around 8 inches possible, being tied up with his belts as cuffs for your hands as he makes you his pretty overstimulated thing. That or your present to him could be really sweet in front of people then overstimulating him with a strap, then using more toys on him as you ride him while he can’t properly make out a sentence or say anything. He will just be moaning your name which he can barely do as he’s been edged and stimulated so much till he finally gets his orgasm. And even when he does yall just keep going till he has no cum left. He can’t tell if he should thank Santa for this years Christmas’s or not…

Like your present to him in front of people could be tons of pins, band T-shirts, tickets for a band he likes, a new jacket he could decorate (with pins, spikes, and patches you give him) or smth like that! Or maybe a guitar, since that man uses his guitar as a weapon it might break. So you can give him another guitar or or even guitar strings or smth. Then overstimulation when yall are by yourself together. Mhmm and you could think of this with ftm hobie as well which isn’t a bad thought (I love ftm hobie!)

Also totally unrelated but I love the thought of demi-romantic hobie and asexual hobie (demiromantic is a thing on the aro-spectrum and I’m totally not saying it because Im Demi-romantic. That and agender hobie since I can hear hobie be like ‘gender doesn’t exist’ man ultimately probably wouldn’t care. Since agenders believe they have no gender. And demiromantics only feel romantic attraction if they have a strong emotional connection, I feel like hobie actually knowing someone is important to him. He also wants people to have a strong bond and understand him and his actions that man probably has autism or adhd or both! I could go on guys it’s unhealthy please I’m going to stop now)

-🍄

I- I don't know what to say. I loved every part of this.

And I know what demi romantic is! I'm so happy to find someone else who does, I used to identify that way before I realized I was just aroace!

Training Simulation

Summary: the spider-gang end up in a training simulator with Doctor Octopus as their nemesis. But when the training AI discovers a weakness that all the spideys share, the AI goes a little haywire. TW: swearing, British slang and a spoiler for ITSV.

“I’m just so bored,” Miles groaned. “Nothing to do.”

“It’s because of capitalism. Boredom is supposed to drive you to want a job,” Hobie theorized.

“I would literally rather fight Doctor Octopus again than be this bored,” Gwen whined. Pavitr just nodded.

“Oh, really?” Miguel stalked over to where the teens were sitting, slouched in their seats. “You guys are bored?”

“How did you hear that?” Pavitr whispered, terrified.

“I hear everything,” Miguel hissed. “Lyla, are there any training rooms for them to use up their energy in?”

“One just opened up,” Lyla chirped. “It’s in Sector 5. Margo’s over there.”

“You’re going to love the training simulation rooms,” Margo said, showing them to an empty room.

“What sort of training is this?” Gwen asked.

“Well, being Spiderman means you deal with a wide range of villains, which look different depending on which dimension you’re in. They look different, act different, have different identities behind their own villain identities.”

You don’t have to remind me, Gwen thought, thinking of her Peter becoming the Lizard.

“I’m personally really proud of it because I did the AI programming myself,” Margo said, her tone sounding proud. “I programmed it to search for weaknesses and use them in the same way the villain would if they found out.”

“Which villain are we fightin’, then?” Hobie asked.

“Doctor Octopus,” Margo said. “The villains are on rotation. Last week, it was Mysterio. And the week before that, it was Scorpion.”

“Oh,” Miles said. Margo wasn’t walking with them any more; she had herded them into the training simulation room and was on the outside of the room plugging instructions in.

“Have fun!” she smiled as she closed the door on them. Doctor Octopus spawned in, a male version with a bowl cut and a German accent.

“Hello, little spiders,” he purred.

“Who’s this twat callin’ little?” Hobie asked, gesturing to his lanky frame. “That’s it!” Hobie ran towards the scientist supervillain, guitar raised to hit him on the head like he did to the president.

“What are you doing?” Gwen snapped.

“He got on my nerves,” Hobie yelled, leaping into the air to attack him from above. He was suspended in the air by a tentacle.

“That’s an interesting weapon,” the supervillain said, taking Hobie’s guitar and throwing it at the wall. It shattered into long wooden splinters.

“My friend gave me that guitar, you fuckin’ wanker!” Hobie yelled, angrily trying to pry himself out of the tentacle’s grip. A second tentacle ended up underneath his arm to pull it away, squeezing at his armpit.

They weren’t expecting to hear a snort of laughter.

“Get your nasty little tentacles away from mehehehehe!” Hobie giggled.

“Oh, does the little spider have a weakness?” Doctor Octopus taunted, more tentacles latching onto more ticklish spots.

“What is happening?” Miles asked.

“Hobie’s secretly really ticklish,” Gwen explained, teasing.

“And it’s adorable!” Pavitr gushed.

“IHIHIHIT’S NOT ADORABLE!” Hobie yelled through his laughter.

“I wonder if the other spiders have the same weakness,” Doc Ock said, as more versions of the same villain came in. Miles recognized the one from his own dimension. Pavitr’s one looked terrifying, a demonic entity with six arms and shoulder armour. Gwen’s universe didn’t have a Doctor Octopus, so they borrowed one from another universe. The first thing they saw was Hobie laughing himself silly with tentacles squeezing at every available ticklish spot. And, since every version of Doctor Octopus was incredibly clever and vindictive, they got the hint fast.

“I can’t believe I didn’t think of this ages ago! A chance to find out more about Spiderman’s nervous system right in the palm of my hands!” 1610 Doc Ock laughed, as a robot arm restrained Miles’ wrist and human arms traced Miles’ ribcage. The other three robot arms squeezed at his tummy.

“I thought you got hit by a truck!” he giggled.

“What truck?” she asked.

“THA-THA-THAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Miles dissolved into laughter.

“Honestly, I didn’t think our little arachnid foes were so easily defeated,” 50101 Doctor Octopus said. Pavitr was in fits of laughter in his many arms, the laughter ranging from fits of giggles to full-on belly laughs. Gwen wasn’t having much luck, either. Her uniform was thin and didn’t protect her at all.

“Hey, is it - OH MY GOD!” Margo gasped as she saw the previous confident and bored spider variants in the throes of laughter.

“HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHELP!” Miles yelled.

“On it!” Margo made copies of herself to turn off the simulation, letting the giggling teens relax. “I’m so sorry! There was only supposed to be one! I don’t know what happened!”

“It’s fine, lemme . . .” Hobie got up and collapsed.

“That took a lot out of you,” Margo observed. “Come on.” More copies appeared, picking up the exhausted kids and taking them away.

“We do not need to go to some dumb medical centre,” Miles groaned.

“You’re not. You’re going to the cosy room. It’s a room full of blankets, pillows, sofas, and beds. You’ll love it so much.” Margo kept walking, dragging the others away.

The room was a paradise. Soft blankets, a huge bed right in the middle of a sea of sofas and giant pillows. They were placed into the large bed side by side, the biggest blue blanket draped over them. Then, she backed out of the room slowly, not wanting to disturb their slumber. Once she was out of earshot, she raced back to the training simulation room and called Lyla.

“Lyla, are the training sessions recorded?”

“Yes!” the bubbly AI’s voice replied.

“Good. Send a copy of the training session by Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, Pavitr Prabhakar and Hobie Brown directly to me,” Margo said conspiratorially.

“Done it.”

Trust me- facilier r was clawing at the walls internally but managing to keep a solid expression PFFT Daily Hobie HC! Cuteness aggression so we're fighting Hobie Hobie had recently gifted you a weapon of your own to use in combat, a double bladed axe, cleverly crafted out of a 'DO NOT ENTER' sign. He's helped with a couple of fighting test runs, mainly just being able to hold on with your webs and swing, but finally today's when you actually fight. Hobie smirked underneath his mask towards you, casually walking forwards and quickly pulling you into a hug, his arms looping around your waist as he pecks your cheek through the mask, wishing you a cheeky 'good luck'. As you both take your places, you're in sync with him as you both ready your weapons, your grip tightening on the pole of the double bladed axe. Hobie leaps first to give you some surprise, going for a swing at your arms to disarm you. He's proud when you manage to duck underneath and kick him away, causing Hobie to land on his knees with a slight tumble. He's almost caught off-guard when you immediately started 'long-swinging', your web connected to the base of the axe as you swung it around in a semi circle, before pulling it back into your hand. Hobie had to quickly pull himself up to the ceiling with his webs to avoid being hit, chuckling in mischievousness and pride of your abilities with the new weapon. He threw himself down at you, managing to land in close and swing his guitar, initiating a close combat situation. Despite the ferocity of the sound of his guitar and your axe colliding, Hobie's practically indestructible guitar doesn't shatter. Not even a single crack.

Hobie manages to push you away with a final hit, sending you rolling back to create a long distance. Quickly scrambling up to your feet, you attach the web to the base and throw it out to Hobie. He had webbed himself to the roof, about to swing and dive into you when he suddenly saw the axe incoming. With his spider senses, he managed to just barely use the force of the flying axe to push himself back, avoiding a hit. Eventually, somehow the fight began to be dragged on a lot longer than necessary due to the fact Hobie and you not taking it seriously any more. Hobie managed to pin you down at last, holding you down to the ground for the five seconds before being proclaimed winner. He helped you get up, taking off his mask and rolling up yours to 'take his prize', a kiss. -🐦‍⬛

BAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA R was like:

Daily Hobie HC!!!

That's my secret, 🐦‍⬛ anon, I always have cute aggression whenever I see Hobie *transforms into the hulk*

WOAH WHAT A COOL AXE! I WANT! You know what's funnier, if the other side is made out of a stop sign! So when r bonks somebody with it the last thing they see is the word 'stop' 🤣🤣🤣

Brooo before I read the part where R swings it around with their webs attached to the end I was thinking that R should yeet it towards Hobie with their webs still attached like a morningstar!! Same braincells apparently

Hobie and R during the fight:

Their love language is sparring!!!!

Hehehehe a well deserved kiss!!!

Bts voice analysis anon here! I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to respond ❤ it made complete sense why yoongi is the deepest I kinda feel bad for him everytime he wants to sounds cheerful or speak in a way so people can hear him he strains his voice

lot to talk about, i’d like to expand on this. especially what his voice being the deepest means for bts’ songs. plus, where his undiscovered vocal talents are, and in what manner his voice will not strain.

that he’s very introverted contributes to what you say, but yoongi is certainly the odd one out voice-wise, such low baritones hardly sound upbeat. similar to how taehyung being the odd one out in the vocal line whose head voices are literal superpowers. i really respect him for singing with jin and jimin who can climb one octave higher than him, up to C#5! and with jk who has the best technique and breaks into the 6th octave if he goes on like that.

it’s very much like yoongi who probably has to mix their tracks back and forth to fit his parts with hobi (who is a tenor as a rapper! — very uncommon) and namjoon who raps in several modes. very low, very high, very impactfully. he’s the most full-bodied baritone in the group even if he’s only the third-deepest. the tone is just so rich. both hoseok and RM are extreme vocal chameleons on top of that. in speaking and in their music you can hear the difference to yoongi all the time. they don’t suddenly drop in pitch and they’re vocal acrobats.

hobi in particular, this guy can do anything. the sheer agility my god, he connects his registers. he can go up and down, impersonate and do a million effects, adlibs, you know the drill. it’s him who actually owns the “cheerful/loud and clear” brand you mention. which is good if not fantastic for yoongi’s production endeavours, the group mood, and how bts cannot be ignored — but tough for yoongi’s voice and comparison thinking, and when he tries to make a point in interviews. maybe it’s not bad that bts have to slow down sometimes to let yoongi speak, but his tone is drowned out (not intentionally of course) in other occasions and he wakes up hoarse often as we saw. which might sound hot, but it’s not good for him as you say.

to be clear. i wouldn’t chalk down his more monotonous and silent tone as a weakness, it’s just outside of bts’ other vocal variety. he makes up for it with speed and good lungs anyway. we just have to listen more closely to him in talks/episodes/conferences but i think he shouldn’t worry about it either or try to sound more enthusiastic, the fans love his soothing speech for its pure sake. he does change it regardless to be more poignant and blend in. it has pros and cons but it wears him out.

yoongi’s voice is under that strain not just in conversation but also in the studio if he wants to bring connection to the rap line parts instead of having 3 songs in 1. which usually ends up happening anyway. that’s also why the cyphers (!) switch genres mid-song so often: their voices are all strong in different registers! yoongi the lowest, joon midrange, and hoseok up high. 

that’s why cypher pt2 is a HUGE stunt and production masterpiece: hoseok’s part is tuned differently, then other instrumentals start with namjoon. and you can literally hear, okay alright a deep voice is coming! from there it just gets deeper and deeper until yoongi is just rapping over a bass guitar (every baritone’s best friend lmao!). god, please give yoongi a big bassline for his every part. “ugh” is the exact opposite: yoongi has to start too high and namjoon also has problems with the key, only hoseok can fully take off after 1:50 with perfect vocal stability. guess which song is autotuned: it’s not cypher pt2! a 3 in 1 song fuels the rapline in a way where they are most comfortable. it’s crazy how far apart they are among each other vocally and it has to be considered.

it’s a dilemma but also why bts’ rap line can tackle any song with at least one member suiting it. they complement each other, every register (except the rare whistle register, aka what mariah/ariana do) is covered. i think that contributed to bts’ fame, it’s so important. however usually, the song caters to hoseok since tenors are preferred in kpop music, or it caters to RM as he’s the central songwriting entity even if mind you, he always thinks about all the members and works closely with yoongi.

but even with joon’s support, it doesn’t work if yoongi is caught in his wish to be a tenor. we’ve seen how much the guy talks about wanting his range to become wider and how he even tried singing quite high for his standards on d-2. he goes as far as collabing only with sopranos to help him achieve that pitch. yoongi is invested to pretty much change his entire vocal type 🙁because the environment simps for high notes so bad (which is fair, falsetto is related to releasing certain happy hormones and highlights parts in songs, but still).

... he actually can’t, unless he wants to damage his throat. that’s the last thing we want. a listener can get the serotonin from a very deep voice equally if they got good taste.

thing is. you cannot morph yourself into a different vocal type and shift your range to the opposite of your comfort zone unless you’re whitney houston. even one in a million tenors like baekhyun can’t make themselves a baritone. his lowest notes are less clear no matter how hard he practices, even if his chest voice is almost operatic and his technique excels. meanwhile, chanyeol (who’s a lyric baritone and exo’s deepest voice) effortlessly hits them without (!!) that kind of decade-long training. have baekhyun or jimin been called bad singers for not being able to cover the other end of the spectrum? nope. so: why would yoongi be a bad vocalist who needs autotune. with lessons, oh man, he could do a lot and many things he dreams of. he has a very unique timbre and enough musical knowledge to do so.

so, we see the magic of your natural supported range. it’s simply given to you. imagine that: if you know you’re not a tenor, you could sort of outsing jungkook — obviously not by technique, but projection— as long as the song is tailored to you and the notes are low enough. yep, jk’s lower register is not extremely forward. each note is perfectly sung because he’s jk, but his power vocals are settled much higher. joon/tae/yoongi would sound much fuller with huge oomph in those lines. that’s where yoongi would be much more clear-sounding to us. a lot of baritone rappers in kpop would be damn good singers. 

that’s why it’s good how a lot of rappers produce solos on their own so they can try it out. 

you just have to respect that your range usually (not always) goes in one direction. once yoongi rightfully decides to abandon his high note fantasy and goes lower just for fun, we are not safe anymore lmao! exception for range: female singers have an advantage there. trained mezzo-sopranos have great access to the head voice and lower registers since they’re in the perfect middle of the scale. but the guys, forget it, even the baritenors. yoongi’s fullest voice will always be coming from a chesty depth and we love him for it. guy just needs to realize.

that’s why his real challenge is rather somehow tweaking the rap parts so his voice finds good resonance like in “혼술” or even “ddaeng”. where his voice is strong, relaxed, and full and flowing. ddaeng — “boy with luv”, too— is ironically in a very high pitch and again caters to hobi’s tone the most, but: yoongi just scales down to his own octave and it still fits, so — great key choice and musicality! and adaptation. it’s not easy to do. you can tell he plays piano.

he either becomes less easy on the ear or has to autotune himself entirely if he works against his voice. or: goes on a track way outside his supported range (dynamite, WOW). it’s a shame. “daechwita” and “agust d” are such a case: both go into the head voice where your resonance should show the most aka the chorus. there are aggressive belts/snarls/shouts that make more sense for higher, trained voices. yoongi is most famous for raps that are literally designed to fuck up his vocal cords 😷that he’s so skilled as a rapper prevents him from that to a degree, but it’s still not healthy. he adapts a lot to bts’ overall delivery but he doesn’t have to, in fact: he could go in the other direction and it would work even better.

the reason for the title track issue: they are the most energetic. in k-pop, energetic means amping up the pitch. and that’s probably a logical choice and a natural human association. if you make a baritone kpop track with a lot of energy, it probably becomes pretty creepy, uneasy, film noir. but i think that’s exactly yoongi’s thing: to unsettle and critique and rage. i think it could work out. lil nas x is a baritone pulling it off. he achieves energetic title tracks, he honors his vocal type well imo. his live singing is cool af, i need this so hard in the rap landscape. so, it’s not impossible to do.

the trick is probably setting everything to minor key. surprise... yoongi’s challenging title tracks are all in major key. boy with luv: minor key, interesting. the former are extremely difficult for him to do so hats off. “shadow” is more suitable for his baritone as is “burn it”. it needs a very heavy, dark track. which is why it’s good that yoongi has that kind of public image. a baritone’s best genre is not super light and whimsical. that’s why all of our baritone faves are not main vocalists but main rappers. kai, taehyung, jaehyun: low voices in vocal lines are soldiers.

---

now a note on yoongi’s best method of singing since it reflects his voice type and brings out the fullness of it. as in, how does it crack and strain less? guess why “사람” is yoongi’s favorite d-2 song to sing. it’s ALL his comfortable range and the singing — very beautifully done —  is in mixed register (= head + chest)! which imo might be his secret weapon. it allows him to do what he longs to do successfuly without going extremely high. bingo.

because: even with baritones, the golden middle is still important. they’re not as deep as a bass, after all. that’s why their voices are so honey-laced in the mixed range and it sounds amazing. heaven, their timbre sounds so seductive. so, it’s wonderful when they find their middle and dare to sing. 

i wish yoongi gets/makes more tracks aimed at just that. in “outro tear” he has to go both too low and too high so it takes a lot of production effort to patch it together. the rapline is doing god’s work to make all their voices sound cohesive without being trained singers. it’s always a trade-off and risk, an immense balance act. “paldogangsan” is hard on yoongi’s voice but works as a whole plus it caters to namjoon to carry the song’s message. the cyphers are chopped up and not chart-friendly but each member is in their comfort zone. 

PS: i said bts’ rap line covers all registers except one. i think that jin is the one to complete bts’ entire spectrum coming from the vocal line. i’m no whistle note expert but dionysus went pretty high up there, i think he might be able to do it. it’s very impressive, even jungkook and jimin probably don’t have access to that register. so, another point for bts being a very ‘complete’ group.

Prince BTS In love with Servant Pt2

Part 1 Here

Jin

You were actually about to get beheaded for falling in love with the prince. One of the newer butlers had intercepted a love letter between you two. You two had been so careful though. Jin had been locked in his room and had no way to get to you, and you were out of tears. The guillotine only got closer as you marched towards it. Everyone had turned out to see the prince’s servant lover get what they deserved.

You’d be noble about it. You wouldn’t make a fuss. All you wished for was to see your lover’s eyes again. “STOP!!!!” that voice. Jin got onto the platform with a weapon in his hands. “If you kill the one person I love, then I shall die too. The afterlife is where we shall be together if not here.” Prince Jin was known to be the reckless type, one to keep his promises. You were set free, and he called for his horse who ran to where you were. With a nod of his head, you smiled and got on the horse. He got on behind you and the two of you rode off to where you could be happy together.

Yoongi

He had been playing his song for you when the took you into custody, grimy hands forcing you to the dungeons. They were charging you for seducing the prince. Did they not know it was more than simple seduction? It was love. True love. Were they really so blind to the obvious? The two of you called out each other’s names until your vocal chords gave out. It was nothing but darkness and borderline starvation without him.

Weeks passed. The prince no longer wrote any music. He didn’t even know where they had taken you. Everyone tried to convince him that he was being foolish, but Yoongi didn’t care. He just wanted you back. When he went to his piano room, he didn’t expect to see you there. Usually, you were just an illusion but this time it was actually you! The King had realized that all of his son’s best songs were about his love for the lowly servant, and he loved his son too much to take everything he truly loved away.

Hobi

No one could believe this day was actually happen, least of all you. The prince was marrying a laundry servant this morning and it was real. All the princesses and princes of other lands mourned at the loss of such a man to someone so unfit. You couldn’t stop crying from your happiness. The bouquet in your hands was real. The piano. The families were actually yours and his. Hoseok was crying as well.

He had looked through all archives of rules past and present, and there was none against marrying someone of lower status. It was simply a social no no, but he didn’t care when his heart knew that you were all the riches he would ever need. Some said you were doing it for money. You two knew the truth, and that’s all that mattered as you finally said the words “I do.”

Namjoon

You should’ve known this day was to come sooner or later, but you didn’t know that it would hurt this much. Prince Namjoon’s engagement to Princess Nayeon of the JYP Kingdom had been announced just moments ago which is why you had come to cry in your secret garden. It was arranged by the king and queen, but it didn’t make the pain any less. You were just a servant. A lowly commoner, and worse. Of course you’d never get married.

Namjoon called your name, but you refused to look at him. You tried to get him to go pack to his princess. He held your hands. “What ocean would I not cross, what mountain would I not climb to see you again? None, my darling, none.” You kissed him and Nayeon came out of the shadows asking if he meant that. He did and always would. She gave an understanding smile and a nod saying that she’d get them to cancel the marriage.

Jimin

Well, fuck this shit. If the love of your life didn’t go through with this wedding then their kingdoms would go into war. His hand had been forced. However, you were still going to do something incredibly stupid as a last ditch effort to stop the wedding. “Speak now or forever hold your peace.” Now or never. “Then I shall speak.” Your voice wavered as you stepped out of line in more ways than one.

“The prince and I are lovers. We’re in love and have been for quite some time. I beseech thee, don’t make him do it.” Jimin’s facade of seriousness broke and tears welled up in his eyes, utterly terrified for you. The guards went to grab you but he said you spoke the truth. He loved you and you loved him. All you two wanted was to be together. His betrothed spoke up, “I don’t even wanna get married. I just want to live in the woods with some cats.” So there was a wedding, but this time it was yours.

Taehyung

Your love caught your hand as you were bringing soup to a sick royal member and you told him to be careful. He asked why you had been avoiding him lately without letting go. “We should stay just friends, Tae. It’ll be better for the both of us.” He was confused and asked what you meant. You told him how you’d been getting the workloads of others. “They wanna take me down a peg, and I can’t refuse the royals. Even with the other servants getting in on it...”

He noticed the calluses on your hands had gotten thicker as well as the scars on your arms and the wrinkles and Taehyung was going to do something about it. You refused to give names, but he had his own informants in the ranks. Walking the palace, you realized there were a lot of new faces but also a lack of old ones.

Your twins were finally put to bed on their mats made out of hay and flour sacks that matched their clothes. Your husband gave you a hug from behind “I’m home, my love.” and kissed your cheek.

He promised he loved you and that he wasn’t upset. “I would go to the ends of the earth if it meant I could be by your side.”
