BTS members's reaction to their future spouse wearing their clothes....

Disclaimer: This analysis/reading is based on my experience and knowledge of astrology, it is not meant to be the absolute truth, as BTS are real people, and astrology can only capture so much about multidimensional humans that have had past experiences and cultural approaches amongst other things, it does not have to resonate with you since this is in no way related to anyone reading it (unless you are a member of BTS in which case, get out of here lol ) This is just for entertainment purposes.Remember that tarot as a form of divination only allows us to read current energy and as time advances it becomes less accurate, so it basically reads up to a 6 months period of time, which leads me to also mention that by s/o I mean any soon to be relationship or an already established relationship, indistinct of whether they are a soulmate relationship or not. Entertainment purposes only.

Warning: contains slight mentions of smut, not explicit.

KIM SEOKJIN

he feels this sort of fondness inside of him, kinda like taking a big needed gulp of air after holding your breath for too long, this man has stars inside his eyes from watching his s/o in his clothes, can’t help but think hey, maybe they look even better on them than I do (only for a split second tho) the feeling you get all warm and fuzzy inside? that’s a given in him. Ear bright red, he might not be too much into lending his clothes on a daily but he sure as hell discovers a fondness in it. There’s also this sort of… domesticity to it, like- this man wants to feel at home and watching his s/o using something of his definitely delivers that homey feeling. Apart from all that, the quote that comes up us “you deserve love” so maybe… that impulsive need you sometimes get when you wanna wrap up something cute and squish it? That's the feeling that’s most prominent here. (5oCrx, the star, the empress oracle cards)

MIN YOONGI

now this is interesting… when watching his s/o in his clothes, Yoongi has this conflicted set of feelings, overwhelmed, mainly, he truly knows how to appreciate the cuteness behind the act but he can’t help but feel kind of undeserving of it, it seems like the action starts an overthinking spiral of yeah they’re cute and all but what they do for me is so much more than I could ever give back. He kind of feels selfish by keeping them by his side, can’t really bring himself to mutter a bigger compliment that a ‘you look nice’ don’t get him wrong, he definitely acknowledges the small act of love but he’s.. carrying so much inner baggage that he can’t really look past what the scene makes him feel. (the hermit rx, 6oS, 10oC+ oracle cards)

JUNG HOSEOK

Now… Hobi is a fashion icon okay keep this in mind. He seems to be very particular of his clothes so while he knows there are no bad intentions behind it, he kinda feels itchy at the sight. It is funny though, there’s a playful feeling of surrender as he watches his s/o wear his clothes, like ‘fine okay I won’t get as itchy just this once cause you look cute or whatever’ soft smiles and warm hearts. Although he’s not the biggest fan of the action, it definitely serves to boost his ego, makes him feel like the man in a non greasy way/non toxic way, like a reassurance that his s/o is deciding to stay by his side after all. Similar to having conflicted feeling like Yoongi but from different parts from within, sure, he can’t help but think ‘oh god please be careful with that jacket if it gets stained there’s no going back’ but at the same time watching his s/o in it softens his rough edges and makes him smile even just a little. (7oWrx, 10oS, the emperor + oracle cards)

KIM NAMJOON

This man- the absolute death of me. Kim NAmjoon enjoys a good teasing. And he can’t help but keep feeling like that is exactly what his s/o wearing his clothes entails, and man is he glad to play along. Not quite exactly sexual, but more of a sensual part of it, he’s just dying to get the clothes off. Can’t keep his hands to himself (cue that one Selena Gomez song) it flips a PDA switch on him, he feels absolutely loved to the edges, has this warm feeling inside his heart that he can’t help but wonder how he got so lucky, and honestly, it isn’t frequently when people get to see his bright sunny side so it ends up being even softer than intended, he just feels so full and bursting at the seams with happiness. (5oC, the sun, ace oC+ oracle cards)

PARK JIMIN

Error 404. Park Jimin.exe has stopped working. This man loves good dramatics in his day to day and really, there’s no stopping him when he sees his s/o in his clothes, Time stops, his heartbeat is erratic, all he wants is to be their loyal servant, personal hype man at their service. Whatever it is that he was doing before? forget that completely, he's devoted to his s/o now. He gets to experience new sides of the relationship with such a simple action, like realising that he truly is head over heels for this person. There’s just a lot of loudness in this. I meant it when I said personal hype-man, would probably even go as far as to let his s/o “shop” inside his vast clothes collection ‘yeah take this and this, these would look amazing on you’ So yeah maybe he feels a tad bit insecure that his s/o is absolutely rocking his wardrobe but he can quickly get those feelings aside if it means watching his s/o just a little bit longer being the truest model there could possibly be out there. (IM SORRY I LOST THE CARDS LMAO)

KIM TAEHYUNG

This man goes 0 to 100 real quick. And don't get me wrong, he’s pretty romantic, but seeing his s/o wear his clothes? Now that’s a switch going off very clearly. Again, not in a toxic masculine way, but Taehyung is bursting with this distinctive dominating shine when watching his s/o wear his clothes, he’s absolutely on top of the world, cloud nine, and there’s no coming back down. He’s pretty playful about it, but there’s absolutely no doubt that inside his mind those clothes are currently non-existent. It’s the final nail in the coffin, the final reassurance that his s/o is his and his only, like a reminder that he is in a relationship and he’s 100% devoted to it. It does go down the traditional relationship line of thought but he’s quite a traditional man himself, so without any ill intention behind, he would really just like to show off his s/o being cute inside his clothes, a proud feeling behind when he talks about it, like a little kid teasing his friends about getting the best candy out of them all. (the hierophant, justice, the chariot)

JEON JUNGKOOK

Okay this is about to be quite a ride. As things are right now, he doesn’t seem to have a lot of tact when it comes to lovey dovey couple stuff, this man is more of a- man of deep rooted actions and sometimes cute words sprinkled on top rather than superficial actions, he doesn’t seem to find the appeal behind his s/o wearing his clothes, at least in an intended to be romantic type of way. He finds it trendy and he might just act cold about it, it doesn’t really hold a deeper meaning to him personally. Listen, he might be the type of boyfriend to ask for his hoodies back as soon as possible. If it isn’t meant to be done in a “oh look the couple sharing clothes” way, he might find his s/o cute in them, but not overwhelmingly so like many other people do. He’s just- very particular about his possessions being his. Funny inner thought that came up ‘we can buy matching shirts just please don’t steal my clothes’ (judgement rx, the tower, QoSrx)

All right, my anxious anon. Here is your masterpost on How To Calm Your Tits At Least a Little Bit At 35,000 Feet. As I said in my last message, I’m going to break this down into sections, go over some general tips, and then take you in detail through some of the exercises I use in addition to the 54321 exercise I already covered in another post. I’m going to put this under a cut because it’s very long, and I don’t want to hog people’s dashes if they aren’t interested in any of this information.

General: First of all, as I’ve said, remember you’re not alone; this is a common fear and not something to be ashamed of. If you think this might make you feel better, consider alerting the crew to your concerns. Tell them you haven’t flown in a long time, and that you’re very nervous about it. The flight attendants are there for your comfort and safety; that’s their job. I can guarantee you are not the first fearful flier they have encountered, and chances are they’ll check in with you from time to time to make sure you’re doing ok. They will not think you are stupid or ridiculous; some of them probably had to overcome their own phobias for their job. There’s also something called a flight tracker; some people who experience anxiety about flying like to use this so that people on the ground can sort of look out for them. If you think this might make you feel better, you can have a friend or relative who won’t be on the flight with you follow your progress. They just need the flight number and the date of your flight.

Make sure you are dressed comfortably; you want to make things as easy as possible on yourself. Are ill-fitting pants going to send you into a panic attack? No, but physical discomfort can heighten your emotional discomfort. 

You also want to make sure you have plenty of ways to distract yourself. As I said before, listening to something, be it music, an audiobook, or movie/TV show, can keep you from starting at every little noise. Because you have not flown in so long, it’s a non-routine event to your senses, and non-routine events can be frightening. It doesn’t mean that you’re even remotely in danger, but your body can and often will perceive it that way because you do not understand what is going on.

Shit That Might Scare the Shit Out of You: Ok, so you haven’t flown in a long time; you’re going to experience a lot of new sensations that your body won’t know how to categorize. This is all routine stuff to crew members and frequent fliers, but it isn’t to you, and that doesn’t help your anticipatory anxiety. You don’t know what in the hell it’s going to be like inside a large metal bird 35,000 feet in the air. So let’s make it a little less mysterious. This article does a really good job of breaking down the different phases of flight for you, so you have an idea of what to expect. 

Next, let’s break down some of the more common fears of anxious fliers.

Takeoff: Airplanes require a lot of power to get off the ground; you will be pushed back in your chair by the acceleration (this is actually kind of exhilarating once you calm down; ironically, I’ve always sort of enjoyed takeoff). Your stomach will also feel a bit funny; there’ll be a bit of a dropping sensation. This is totally normal, and it happens to even experienced fliers. It doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you, gravity is just going, “Bitch, why are you trying to defy me??” To hype myself up for takeoff, I like to listen to a song that makes me feel like I can take on 10 large MMA fighters all at the same time without messing up my hair. It’s hard to feel scared when I’m all, “Man, kicking in some teeth would be just GREAT right now!!” Alternatively, can I suggest ‘Enormous Penis’ by da vinci’s Notebook? It’s peppy as fuck, and it’s about a penis. It’s hard to NOT perk up (nailed it) while listening to this song. My sister and I both listen to it whenever we’re having a hard (nailed it again) day. 

Turbulence: “OH MY GOD JENN THE PLANE IS BOUNCING ALL OVER THE PLACE AM I ABOUT TO DIE???” No. Turbulence is a totally natural occurrence that will happen to some degree or another on just about every flight. I cannot remember a flight where I’ve experienced literally no turbulence. Some flights have been very smooth overall with only a few small bumps here and there, and some have had stretches where the captain has ordered the flight attendants to go back to their seats and buckle in. This is NOT because the plane is in danger; it’s because people moving around while it’s bumpy risk injuring themselves by losing their footing. This article explains what’s happening during turbulence. Remember that temperature changes will cause those bumps, so when you’re going up or coming down through clouds, you are most likely going to experience some bumps. Turbulence can be a jolting sensation or the plane can actually sway back and forth a bit. In reality, the plane is hardly moving. Those pockets of air you’re hitting are maybe a quarter of an inch, but you’re hitting them at over 500 mph. Envision a speed bump: they’re really only a couple of inches, right? But if you hit them at high speed it causes a big bump; it’s the same principle, only the bumps you’re hitting are much, much smaller, and the plane you’re in is far more well-engineered than a car and stress tested to an insane degree.

I gave you some tips for how to reduce the sensations of turbulence if it bothers you, but another helpful tip if you want to reassure yourself of how little the plane is actually moving is to take a cup or bottle of water and place it on your tray table (I always carry some with me for this reason and for hydration; the recycled air in cabins is very drying). Watch how much the water moves. It’ll vibrate a little, generally, and nothing more. What would happen if you took this same cup of water (or an open water bottle), and jerked your hand down quickly, just a couple of feet? Water would slosh out, wouldn’t it? And that’s just dropping it a couple of feet. Pilots will attempt to avoid the worst of turbulence if possible so the crew can move around safely and so passengers don’t hurt themselves using the bathroom and whatnot, but occasionally you can hit some rough patches. Remember that heavy turbulence usually doesn’t last that long. We hit a rough patch on our flight to Dublin for our honeymoon, hard enough that the flight attendants were ordered back to their seats. I think within ten minutes they were back up, checking on people and serving food.

Remember also that the front of the plane moves around less in turbulence, so if you can snag one, a seat farther toward the front of the plane will help minimize those sensations. If you’re stuck in the back, don’t worry; you’re not going to be riding a bucking bronco. I almost always get stuck in the back of the plane, and there isn’t such a marked difference that the people in the front are all laughing and drinking champagne while those in the back scream and clasp their chosen religious texts to their chests.

Landing: Landing is another problem for a lot of anxious fliers. I always love it because it means I’m about to be on the ground again. lmao It’s also a great way to get a really fabulous view of a new destination. I love to watch the landing when I’m travelling somewhere new. Be prepared for the landing, because the descent is almost always going to produce some bumps, sometimes some pretty good ones. Again, this is all fine and normal; I just want you to be prepared for it, because if you’re expecting it, it’s not so frightening. In the next section, I’ll go into the various exercises you need to be using during any point of the flight that makes you feel anxious. If the landing scares you, you can implement these exercises during it. Also remember that a lot of noises are going to come into play here as the speed changes and the pilot manipulates the flaps. This might be a good time to listen to your music/audiobook/show if those noises make you nervous. I usually have music playing during the landing, but tbh, that’s mostly because I’m a really over-dramatic asshole who thinks their life deserves its own soundtrack.

The Exercises:

These are your tools for combating your anxiety before and during your flight. Do not be ashamed of using them, as many times as you have to. That’s what they are there for. Use the shit out of them; I want you to be really vigilant about using them every time you start to feel anxious, ok? You can’t just do it once and go, oh, wow, all better!! Anxiety doesn’t work that way. You are retraining your brain; it’s going to take at least a few attempts.

The 54321 Exercise: We’ve already covered how to do this one, so I won’t spend as long on it. I just want to add a couple of things, those being, mainly, that I want you to do this any time you start to feel nervous about your flight, and if you don’t have five objects (or four or whatever number you’re on), it’s perfectly ok to repeat something. Any little prickle of anxiety, any little what-if scenario that starts chewing at you--go into the exercise. Do it as many times as you have to until you feel calmer. Every single time you start to feel anxious, do this exercise. Do it before you leave, do it at the airport, if you must. You can do it aloud or in your head; if i’m alone I’ll do it aloud, if there are people around me I’ll do it quietly, to myself, so I don’t disturb them. 

The Get It the Fuck Together Exercise: I may have changed the name of this one slightly; it’s more fun to say, “Hey, leave me alone; I’m doing my ‘get it the fuck together’ exercise and I don’t need you distracting me.”

Here’s how it works: we anxious fliers like to play out a whole disaster movie in our heads. As far as we’re concerned, everything that can go wrong, will. We imagine ourselves plunged into all these dramatic scenarios as we cling impotently to our chairs, completely helpless. But you know who can’t be hurt by anything?

Cartoon characters. Look at Wile E. Coyote; that fucker has survived some shit. You can use any you want, really, but I like to use Shrek. So here’s what you do. When you’re on your flight, any time your brain starts throwing those disaster scenarios at you, whenever some turbulence hits, whatever it may be that’s causing you anxiety--imagine a cartoon character experiencing it instead. So, let’s use Shrek as an example. Shrek is sitting in a seat, and some turbulence hits. No matter how hard the plane is bouncing, nothing happens to him. Whatever happens to the plane, he’s still sitting there. Maybe he’s pearl clutching a little, but he comes through it just fine because he’s a cartoon character, he can’t be harmed. You are lending this little disaster film playing out in your head exactly the amount of reality it deserves. I always like to picture Shrek getting nervous and clutching his arm rests and then the turbulence stops and he gives that little chuckle and he’s like, “That was scary, wasn’t it?” It sounds silly, but it definitely helps. Remove yourself entirely from the equation; you’re not in that little disaster film. Shrek is. Shrek can’t be harmed. 

You can use this during the flight, but also throughout this week if you start picturing anything scary happening on the plane. Picture Shrek in that seat instead; picture ridiculous things happening to him, and him coming through them all just fine. We’re trying to associate the frightening pictures in your head with something removed from reality, so your brain can recognize that these scenarios are not real, and they are not going to happen to you.

The Make Love Not Soiled Undergarments Exercise: I may have slightly altered the name on this one as well.

So here’s what we’re going to do with this: I want you to find a moment in your life when you really connected with another person, or even a pet. A moment when you felt totally at peace, when you were flooded with feelings of love. We are looking for something that overwhelmed you with oxytocin, a moment when you felt safe and loved. What we’re going to do with this is superimpose it over all the phases of flight and all the things that scare you so that your brain instead associates flying with a really good moment in your life. Some examples from the book: if you’re married, when you first saw your spouse walking toward you, and the look on their face; for mothers, the bond they felt while breastfeeding, and their child’s face during this moment; even a pet looking up at you with absolute unadulterated love in their eyes will work. I like to use my parents’ St. Bernard for this exercise, so that’s the example I’ll use when talking you through it. I have loved many other pets equally, of course, but he’s such a big dumb mook who demands ALL THE PETS with his giant, battering ram head that it’s easy to plaster his giant YOU WILL LOVE ME I DEMAND IT eyes all over everything.

We’re going to start right from the beginning. When you arrive at the airport, look around at everything. Instead of a chair, or security, or the windows through which you can see those big, terrifying planes, picture the face of this person or pet; remember that moment and that bond. Superimpose their face on everything. Do this as you’re boarding; project their face and eyes on everything, as you’re walking down the boarding tube, as you’re getting on the plane itself. When you sit down, project this face onto the seat in front of you, onto the tray table, the window--whatever is within your range of vision. As the engines are firing up, associate the sounds of the engine with this face and that moment when you were connected and at peace. As you’re taxing, do the same thing. When you takeoff, keep projecting this face onto the seat in front of you, or the ceiling--wherever. We are linking this image with each thing you experience, so we override your fear and teach your brain that you are not in danger, in fact, you are as safe as you have ever been. When you hit turbulence--link the experience to this face that you’re using. 

So what I see when I fly, is this big dumb mook St. Bernard looking up at me like I’m the best thing since steak. I picture this during every phase: takeoff, turbulence, landing, any unfamiliar noises. If you’re seated at the window, look out at the wings; project this image onto the wings. You will see them flexing a bit; this is also completely normal. Link this image to the mechanisms in the wing and their movements; you are not in any danger. You are safe, comfortable, loved. 

Putting It All Together: Ok, so I’ve discussed the exercises in-depth. Let’s summarize briefly, then. Whenever you feel anxious at any point before your flight, do your 54321 exercise as many times as you need to until your anxiety starts to abate. I usually only have to do it a couple of times, but if you have to do it four or five or even more, that is perfectly fine. Take as long as you need. If you start to picture something bad happening on the plane, if your brain starts to spiral into those disaster scenarios: remove yourself from the situation entirely. Plug Shrek into that plane and that scenario and see that he is absolutely fine. You are not on the plane while something bad is happening; Shrek is on the plane, and no harm can come to him.

When you get to the airport, start your ‘Make Love Not Soiled Undergarments’ exercise (fun to say, even more fun to successfully implement). Project that loving face onto everything you see; do it as you’re getting on the plane. Do it as the plane hits turbulence. Do it as every new noise and sensation crops up, so that you’re linking them all with something really good. At any point during the flight if that anxiety starts to kick in and you need to distract yourself, whip our your handy 54321 exercise. As I said before, these are all tools to help you combat your anxiety; do not be afraid to use them.

Flying is actually really fucking amazing; there’s so much incredible technology and engineering that goes into modern aircraft. It’s not something to fear; we just need to make sure our rational mind has the chance to override our fears and let us experience and enjoy that. 

At any point during this week, if you need to talk, come back to my blog. Any questions, any concerns you have--lay them on me. Let me know how you’re progressing; sometimes just having someone to talk to can help a lot. If you want me to track your flight, I can do that too (you don’t have to give out any personal info, just the flight number.) 

Above all, remember that it is possible to suffer from these anxieties and still get on a plane and not absolutely lose your shit. I use these same exercises when I feel nervous, and I’ve done a few roundtrip transatlantic flights in the last couple of years, plus domestic flights. I’ve also got at least two flights planned this year. 

Also: it’s ok if you get a little nervous. That’s normal. My flights to and from the Czech Republic all went pretty smoothly for me (emotionally speaking, at least; we did encounter some turbulence), and I had a few brief moments of anxiety that I was able to get past pretty quickly. You’re thousands and thousands of feet in the air, in a metal tube; it’s not a normal situation. You have not failed if you feel a brief jangle on your nerves now and again. Our goal is to make sure you are not a petrified wreck for the entire flight.
