#but this part reallh hit me

[freyadragonlord]

Gonna need to metabolize this chapter slowly because AHHHHH but one thing that really struck me is

how absolutely tragic this panel is.

Fukuchi won.

And all the good guys are safe, the ADA is safe and free, but Fukuchi still won, and this is such a devastating moment for Fukuzawa.

And honeslty, I really loved how the anime did this scene, but having Aya scream of joy is way more effective than having Fukuzawa scream in grief.

Cause now that there are witnesses, he can't scream. He has to play the part, or all of this will have been for nothing.

Wow.

Wow.

Which vmin moments according to you contradict their platonic soulmates label?

Currently on break at work, so I’ll try to answer at least this one real quick because this is something that I can easily talk about. (I might have to add a cut on the PC later if this gets too long because I also don’t know how to do that on mobile).

Anyhow, there are quite a few moments between both of them that really contradict them being “platonic” soulmates. That being said (why do I feel like I always need to put a disclaimer? Oh yeah. Because people take things way too seriously 😅) I’m not saying that these things without a doubt hint at a romantic relationship between them. But they are things that make you wonder.

When it comes to talking about skinship, I think it’s important to remember that Korean and Western cultures differ from what’s okay between two friends of the same-sex. That being said, there are things that vmin do that would make even Koreans notice that they are incredibly comfortable with each other for two male friends. I know because I have Korean friends that have confirmed this, but everyone also has their own opinion. So don’t take this same saying all Koreans think the same. Anyhow, the particulate thing about their skinship is the lingering touches. In one Run or Bangtan Gayo episode (can’t remember which) Jimin puts his arms over Taehyung’s shoulder. When he does so, Taehyung reaches up to touch Jimin’s fingers. It’s such a gentle touch, and Taehyung doesn’t even seem to think about it. Then, in the same instance, you have Taehyung sliding his fingers between Jimin’s to get him to stay when Jimin starts acting like he’s about to pull away. So my pint is, Jimin simply putting his arms around Taehyung would be “friendly” or “platonic” skinship. However, Taehyung playing with his fingers? It seems a little more than friendly to me. This can be seen a lot when it comes to touches between the two, but another example that comes immediately to mind is in BV3 when Taehyung joined at the dinner. When they first grabbed hands in front of Namjoon, Taehyung rubbed his thumb across the back of Jimin’s hand. Again, moments later, they held hands literally on Namjoon. Both of those moments could be more related to the fact that Taehyung needed comfort at that moment, but even so.

It’s also their reactions from each other. In the RKive live where Taehyung snuggled up to Jimin, and Jimin pushed him away. Some people took that as Jimin being rude, but I think he was flustered. Taehyung was being all cuddly, and it caught Jimin off guard. He even giggled a little and tried to hide his face. Like I mentioned in a post before, there’s thing where Taehyung smiles when Jimin rests his head on him. You can see it in that one X number of seconds relay thing that they did on some channel before. While Taehyung was cheering for Jimin, Jimin laughs and rests his head on Taehyung. Taehyung takes a very brief, fraction of a second pause to smile before he continues cheering. You can see it in the FM where Jimin rests his head on Taehyung, Taehyung smiles ever so slightly. You can see it in the voice acting Run episode. If yon reallh watch Taehyung when Jimin rests on him, sometimes there’s a hint of a smile just from the action. You have moments where Taehyung and Jimin clearly state that they want to sleep together. That could be nothing, but there are a couple of times where it stands out a little more. The run episode where they were deciding rooms and Taehyung “wonders who he will be hugging”. Jimin sits there quietly and rests on Taehyung, and it almost looks like he’s trying to conceal his own reaction. Similar to when Taehyung cuddled up to him in that live. Maybe he doesn’t want Taehyung to hug someone else? Another time is the time in BV4 when they decided which rooms they will stay in. They didn’t have to have a certain roommate, but they had to pick their rooms in a certain order. Jimi gave up the room he wanted because he wanted the room with Taehyung. Maybe that’s nothing big, but it seems a little intimate to me that he would choose the person he’s rooming with over the room that he’s staying in. Especially since Jimin doesn’t seem to have a problem getting along with any of the other members, and he already shared a bed with Taehyung once during this trip.

Taehyung admitted to writing at least one song about Jimin that got published (4 o’clock) and writing a romantic Christmas duet that he wanted to sing with Jimin. I’m not saying that you can’t write songs about your friends. There are loads of published songs legitimately about friendship, so there’s nothing strange about that. Part of this is on theory, but also basing the two confirmed songs as well. First of all, 4 o’clock can be viewed as a romantic song. Also, if any other of Taehyung’s songs are about Jimin, it’s possible that there’s actually something there. Because how uncomfortable do you think Jimin would be for Taehyung to constantly write romantic lyrics about him and want to sing a romantic Christmas song if the feelings weren’t mutual? That would probably make Jimin pretty uncomfortable. Not to mention, the lyrics of friends can be seen as romantic, too. Despite the song being called “Friends”.

There’s so much to add on this topic, but my break is over, and I’ve covered a few points. I might add more or make a separate post later.

Thanks for the ask!

it isnt something that stays in my mind by any means. it isnt something im thinking about a lot or worrying about. but i think id be lying if i said that i wasn’t still thinking about nick. 

i think part of it is me getting in my own head yknow? cause i do respect him, i think he’s cool. we never have really been that close and since you cleared things up for me i can understand why. but he’s someone you’re so so sooo close with and every time i see what he’s worked on or created i do admire it and i do think he’s reallh cool and talented. i think maybe i just have started letting my mind wander to comparing myself. he’s kinda where i wanna be, doing similar stuff to what i wanna be doing. and you’ve known him for longer and you two have been together and all that. and i don’t have a shadow of a doubt when it comes to you, or him really. but i put myself in his shoes, and i feel like if i was him i’d probably be kinda irritated and put off by me. 

i think it honestly still stresses me out every now and again. that the guy you live with is the guy you dated and broke your heart. and that in its own is okay, people can get together and find out they’re better off friends-that happens a lot and i think it’s real and valid. but when he’s been off with your ex, when he’s not gotten close to me. when you say he doesn’t like talking about any of it with you. it does worry me. cause why else would he not wanna talk about it other than feelings still being there? im not him, so i dont know. maybe its some other reason. maybe the feelings are different. i think im doing okay with it, yknow? you live with him, you hang out with shawn. i trust you, cause you’re with me. you could probably be with either of them in some capacity, but you’re crawling into bed with me at the end of the night. cause you’ve never given a reason to not trust you, not ever. not a reason to doubt or worry or think. i think having moments of stress about how nick might be feeling, or a little hit of jealousy when you’ve hung out with shawn is normal and healthy. i hope it is. but i think overall im doing okay with it.
