#it’ll be very different than jk & tae’s fics

[spideyjimin]

here are 3 pictures resuming the next fic of the dads universe & the title is sweet love

[kkyujikoo]

These are my... 2...? Maybe 50, cents about the whole "freejk" thing. I'm gonna be extremely petty and at some points a whole lot sarcastic and it's gonna be long but I had to say it. As soon as I get my computer I'm gonna make it under read more, but the app does whatever it wants, as we know.

Listen, this ain't my first fan rodeo, and not even the first fan rodeo where I've been directly or indirectly accused of being some sort of pervert or delulu. I've been in fandom spaces since I was a teen, I was shipping mlm couples when queerbaiting in TV shows was still something that was seen as the norm rather than some cheap disgusting trick. I was there when fanfic spaces saw "slash" fics as something "different" and to be tagged with a more mature rating even when they just looked at each other.

I was in BBC's Sherlock's fandom and I shipped Johnlock during the hiatus between S3 and S4, at this point I'm not even feeling it when people call me delulu or a weirdo.

So, yeah, take this with a grain of salt: as a person who has seen thousands of times fandom drama unfolding and has lived too much of it... This whole situation is so ridiculous it makes me laugh. Like, yeah, it's maddening how people will blame anyone and everyone because they don't even see their own bias and homophobia, granted, but like... It also makes me laugh for the sheer dumbassery of the reasoning behind it all?

Like... Y'all are getting mad and for what? Because it sure as hell isn't the invasion of privacy, since y'all are watching the same content we're all watching and you're paying to see it the same way everyone else is. If you don't want to "invade their privacy", you should just... Stop watching content that isn't their music videos, RUN episodes or interviews. Memories and any kind of dvd/video that shows what they're doing behind the scenes shouldn't be part of their job as musicians, and therefore we're intruding in their privacy... Or aren't we?

Or maybe it's more nuanced than that: maybe the content they release on dvd/on their official channels is part of their job as entertainers, and it's been approved, and it's a small window THEY are granting us.

You know what's the REAL invasion of privacy and what REALLY invalidates someone autonomy? When you, who maybe aren't even paying to see that content (which is something I understand, like, dude, I'm not covered in money either), DEMAND what kind of behind the scenes content you want when I swear ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has asked you. Once again: you don't like it? You think it's some huge invasion of privacy? Don't buy it. Don't interact with it. Convince your friends to do the same. For all I care, just go and petition to boycott this kind of content. I know you won't do it, because... That's the thing, isn't it? It's not the invasion of privacy that bothers these people.

Y'all aren't mad because we get into their business or else you would have gotten real mad when we were privy to REAL private moments like people crying their hearts out.

No, no. Y'all are mad because it's "shipping content" and "fanservice" which apparently bothers you because it lacks authenticity.

Pick a side, lovelies: either you DON'T want to invade their privacy, and thus all the content they release should be focused on what fans want to see, or you WANT to know how they interact TRULY in private.

And here's the catch: "shipping content" can be anything. Shipping existed WAAAAAYYY before the word for it was invented, same way with fanfictions. Shipping means, literally, "seeing two (or more) people interact and thinking they would make a good romantic pair". That's it. That's quite literally it. Everything else is just some nuance of the concept of shipping, but at its core, it's nearly impossible to ban all shipping content when it's a group of seven people, because they should for real go in social distancing mode to do so. Most people who have parasocial relationships tend to have "ships" whether they know it or not, because we've all, at least once, looked at a dynamic from the outside and thought "oh man they look cute together". So, even if, o dear ones, your wishes were granted... What the hell do you mean by "shipping" content? Should they just film solo clips, avoiding talking about the other members? But wouldn't that be fanservice, since it's focused on pleasing the fans? (Which, ultimately, is what fanservice MEANS, and I hate to break it to y'all but the whole concept behind entertainment and thus all the content BTS releases it's... For the fans. Like, they're not going out of their way to just meet our expectations but they're certainly doing fanservice by the mere act of releasing bonus content.)

But it's not even quite that, is it? Because no one bats an eye if it's Tae kissing Nj's cheek. I've seen no hashtag against everyone - and I mean literally every one of them - wolf whistling at Nj. It's okay to show intimacy... Because they're bandmates and it's okay to be close to someone who you see basically 24/7, I hear you. And it's also okay when people see that and gush over that closeness, because it's such a nice thing to see.

Soooooo... We've got to free JK from whom exactly? From what?

Are y'all mad cause people pointed out there's very little way a bruise that stayed for a whole ass night could be a quick bite? Because that doesn't harm jk, at most makes fun of him and jimin and their poor excuses (seriously, guys, next time consider using mosquitoes or "I was doing stuff". It'll be equally embarrassing but at least the meme will be funny), and it's literally... A fair observation. Like. It's a hickey, people are gonna make jokes about seeing a hickey and poor excuses of covering it up in the exact same way they're gonna make jokes over jimin falling out of chairs. And yeah, a hickey is AT LEAST something that happens in a sensual context. Like, I could understand "people who are extremely familiar with each other will have different body language/touch in areas where usually you wouldn't see friends touching each other", but that's not. Not a hand on the thigh. It's a hickey on the neck. I don't even know a more stereotypical placing for a hickey. But once again, are y'all mad because someone is pointing it out? Because that's not being delulu or even being a shipper, really, it's just commenting on something that was approved to be shown and discussed in something that was released BY THEM.

Are y'all mad at hybe for showing something that literally fell onto their hands? Cause like, unless someone (I'm counting on Jimin, since as we know Jungkook was busy spinning him round and round and had both his hands busy) called at hybe headquarters to say "yo bang pd substitute, is it okay if I give my friend jk here a hickey? Cause he's being really annoying rn and he has to pay", I highly doubt anyone expected Jungkook to come to rehearsal all neatly marked up. Or idk, maybe someone at hybe asked them "we need Jungkook to come in with a hickey but refuse to say it's a hickey, so that fans will feel reeeeally served." That sounds perfectly plausible too. Or a good marketing strategy.

Now, if you're a big company and your objective is to have some footage of the rehearsals for a concert, and the fandom is too good at noticing stuff for their own good, and one of your artists comes in with a very visible mark, and he and his bff bropal4lyfe come n with a story about how they were playing and a bite happened, you've got three choices: 1. Cut the artist out of aaaaalll the footage. Someone would have noticed the "bite mark" anyway, you best believe that. If you don't want anyone to notice it, you gotta cut him in most of the footage where it's visible. 2. Keep the hickey, discard the explanations. You could do that, but also it would feel a lot more unfaithful to everyone involved. Also they clearly worked their ass off to invent an explanation, come on! They truly tried to do their best inventing something that was not "it's a mosquito bite", they should get some credit! 3. Keep the bite, keep the explanation.

Notice how none of these solutions include the biting never happening because... They couldn't prevent it? The only thing they have any control over is how they're framing each "accident". And that's not an easy job.

I applaud you, people on the editing team.

So... On whom should we cast the blame now? Ah, yes, I think it's finally time for the ultimate scapegoat of this fandom: Jimin. Which is funny, cause... You know... If this were really about privacy, or being "victims" of shipping... This should be about freeing him too, you know? But obviously Jimin does it for attention, while Jungkook, poor angel that he is, doesn't even know what shipping is.

Furthermore, don't we all know how much Jimin imposes himself in Jungkook's life? To the point where he, multimillionaire man feels compelled to share a car with Jimin even if they're both late in the process. And can't you see how uncomfortable he is, draping himself over Jimin, making Jimin drap himself over him?

Oh lordy, truly such an awful eight years Jungkook spent, choosing to have vacations with someone who made him uncomfortable, spending free time with him, even having to suck his ear in public to the point you can see his saliva just because Jimin was sad :( truly an all-around bad time for Jungkook, as evidenced by alllll those times when he said Jimin was pretty, cute, and all-around knowing every little thing about Jimin. I absolutely concur, the dude would be so much more happy if jimin was not in his life.

Did that sound weird and absolutely ridiculous and a really absurd joke? Because that's what y'all sound like to me. Like. Jungkook is out there living his best life, getting hickeys and showered in affection and y'all paint him as a fucking martyr??? I'm sure he's really truly desperate that Jimin holds him in such high regards 😭😭😭 I can see him suffering whenever he starts doing his own serendipity rendition 😭😭 and when he claimed you are me, I am you as his and Jimin's only 😭😭😭 I cannot believe this poor baby 😭😭😭

I've reached a point where every time I hear this stuff I laugh because the levels of twisting reality when it comes to jikook are extraordinary, Jungkook will have a literally blissed out face and people will cry in outrage.

But coming back to my point: let's pretend you're not mad at Jimin and the possibility that jikook are dating: are y'all mad... At the hickey? Because at this point it seems like the only feasible solution. And if you are, do not worry: I'm sure Jungkook's skin was throughly healed by his boo. A kiss soothes even the worst pain, doesn't it?

BLAME IT IN THE RAIN WITH JK (FROM UR FIC TITLE GAME) IS PERFECT!!!! FOR A DRABBLE!!! PERFECT!!!!!

blame it on the rain | JJK (1k words)

Jeon Jungkook doesn’t take issue with many things in his life, but the semester-long study abroad program your school offers is certainly not one of them. For one, as a computer science and business dual-degree, he pretty much has zero opportunity to study abroad for six whole months, not when he’s taking six classes each semester and barely managing to keep up with the workload of each. For another, you went on a study abroad trip. And nothing could really make Jungkook hate something more than that thing taking away his very best friend for six whole months. 

Okay. Give Jungkook some credit here. It’s not as if he doesn’t have any friends other than you. He does. He doesn’t have many, considering he’s a computer science and business dual-degree, but he does. You are just... his favorite friend. Sue him. He noticed your absence the most. It weighed on him like a ton of bricks, followed him around like a storm cloud. Your FaceTime calls could only offer temporary relief, especially since you were halfway across the globe and the timezones made everything that much more inconvenient. He missed being with you. What else is there to say? He missed you. 

But he needs not miss you any longer.

Finally. It’s June third, classes ended literally three weeks ago, and since his last final he has been counting down the days until your flight would get in, until you would return to campus and everything would go back to normal. No more calls at four in the morning, no more sending each other pictures of your lonely ass dinners, no more wishing you were by his side. You are coming home. 

Jungkook is, admittedly, a little overexcited for your arrival. 

“Dude, why the hell did you get to the arrival gate thirty minutes before her plane was even scheduled to land?” Taehyung says on the other end of the phone, and Jungkook can hear the way he’s rolling his eyes. 

“I didn’t want to be late! Imagine if I had gotten stuck in traffic,” Jungkook defends weakly. It’s three in the afternoon on a Saturday.

“Yeah, right. Just say you miss her and be done with it. I’m not judging.”

“Yes, you are.”

“Okay, you’re right, I am, but can you blame me?” Taehyung concedes easily. “You’ve been pining after her for the past six months. I’m honestly kind of glad she’s coming back.”

Jungkook can relate. 

“Wow, I would have thought you were glad that she was gone, so we could spend more time together,” Jungkook admits, a little surprised. Taehyung was always complaining that Jungkook spent so much time with you he never left any for the rest of his friends. 

“Not really. Without her you’re like... a completely different person. In a worse way. No offense, or anything,” Taehyung says. Jungkook does not like the direction of this conversation. “I mean, like, you’re just... better when she’s around. I missed the old Jungkook. I’m glad you’ll be back.”

“Oh.” Jungkook doesn’t really know what to say to that. Had he really changed that much without you? Just then, he feels his phone vibrate in his hand, sees your contact information pop up at the top of his screen.

You [3:34PM]: Just landed! ✈️ You [3:35PM]: Gonna grab my bags and meet you out front soon!

Jungkook [3:35PM]: Can’t wait!!!

“She just landed, I gotta go,” Jungkook says quickly. 

“Wait, doesn’t she still have to get her bags--?”

“Gotta go, bye, Tae!”

Jungkook quickly hangs up and stuffs his phone into the pocket of his jeans, waiting against the side of his car nervously, eyes darting towards the three different exits as he scans the thin crowd for your familiar figure. Reasonably, he knows that it’ll take you another fifteen to thirty minutes at least for you to get all of your belongings, make your way past customs, and finally get outside. But he doesn’t think he can wait a second longer for you. 

Thunder cracks above him. It’s been raining all day--a shitty scenario for him to be welcoming you back--and Jungkook is half-soaked himself, barely able to stay underneath the awning of the airport, but he couldn’t care less. He’d wait out in a fucking blizzard for you. 

The minutes pass by agonizingly slow, and anyone who walks through the airport exit that looks even remotely like you gets Jungkook’s heart pumping. But he waits, because he has to. And because he knows that it will all be worth it in the end. 

Is what Taehyung said true? Is Jungkook really different without you? It’s true that it felt like there was a part of him missing when you weren’t there. Like there was this inescapable emptiness. Maybe he really was different without you. Maybe he really is better with you. 

“JEON JUNGKOOK!”

Jungkook’s eyes fly up to the sound of his name, smile breaking out across his face when he sees you standing at the exit, suitcase by your side and sparkles in your goddamn eyes. And maybe you’re crazy, and maybe he is, too, but when you break out into a run in his direction, when you run into his arms and he lifts you up into the air, the only thing he can really think to do is press his lips against yours. 

Rain is pouring down, soaking the both of you from head to toe. Your suitcase has been abandoned in the middle of the sidewalk, passersby staring weirdly at it and the both of you as they walk by. But Jungkook doesn’t care about that. He doesn’t care about the rain, or the suitcase, or the strangers. All he can focus on is you. 

Rain is pouring down outside but it feels like the lightning is within him, sending shocks through his blood. 

When you part, your smile is wide and your eyes are shimmering, and it feels like Jungkook has let out a breath he didn’t even realize he was holding in. 

“I missed you,” You tell him, running a hand through his sopping wet hair. 

Jungkook beams. “I missed you, too.”

please no more drabble requests for now, but i may open them again soon!

Tae's Guardian Angel

Merry Christmas everyone! Have a blessed day listening to Christmas Love and Snow Flower.

 Sometime back, someone asked me about Tae’s friendship with Bogum and if it had anything to do with Jin, so here’s the very delayed answer. 

It’s not the first time I’ve been asked this but this is the first time I bothered to look further into it and with the help of some people from the cc, managed to compile this. 

Disclaimer: This is a little compilation of TaexBogum from information readily found on the internet for those curious about their friendship and in no way meant to probe into his circle of friends unnecessarily. I don't know and don't claim to know more than what they have chosen to show publicly. 

The question that started this whole thing:

“Do u think there was a Love triangle going on between Taejin & Park Bogum back in 2016-2017?”

And the comments/thoughts by various people on this matter:

- Different anon but now i'm intrigued as to why some ARMYs think there was anything going on btwn Tae & Park Bogum. Can some anons list down any suspicions they have about them? 😅 Seems like it'll be good fic material lol

- I personally never had any doubts. It seems really similar to what Tae does with his wooga squad. But because Bogum is just one person, people immediately joked about dating. At least I always took it as a joke. I never knew there was serious dating claims going around. And Jin and Tae seemed comfortable when Bogum came backstage after LY concert. https://twitter.com/rainbootae/status/1026410350256607232?s=19 This is what I could find after a search of their dating history.

- Diff anon. Taejinnies also think he had smth with the guy from shinee, with seojoon, with jk, with jimin...lmao. All are a stretch. I could better believe he had dated girls instead of any of these men. I only believe in taejin, really. If tae has ever hooked up with anyone else, my bet is on a non celeb, since he doesn't seem very interested in idols.

- Well, kinda yes coz TaejinBogum had a BB concertdate before BurnThe Stagefight. TaeBogum went on a trip alone & next day Tae posted a pic with Jin. Jin commented "let's breakup".

- another different anon - the jeju island trip was the most intriguing part to me when speaking of bogum and tae. also the pics and videos seem very domestic and romantic. however, the fact taehyung recently said he wants to go on a 10 days vacation to jeju island with the members kind of changed my mind about it - i think he really likes the place, and when you like a place why not visit it with your friends? bogum and tae are very close, i think its adorable they traveled there together. also he just got back to korea and missed him and its nice they did something fun together. i must say that i do think theres a possibility tae had a crush on him back then, but i dont think there was something more between them. also, i think its important to state that a crush can coexist with unrequited feelings, so i dont think his feelings for jin were any less. ITS ALL MY SPECULATIONS THOUGH. we dont know what happened and whats real, and im not claiming to know anything or that anything i said is the truth!

- Tae's a beautiful social butterfly i'm sure he's had many dates with alot of his friends lol (like how jin teased him in the SOOP & the latest Run episode) so it's impossible to detect if any of his other dates are romantic or just friendly dates. All this will just stay under the speculation/imagination territory since there's no way to verify them. 😂😂😂

- Now that you mention it this way, Jin's word choice of 'Let's break up/Let's end this relationship' is rather peculiar. And even though Jin always teases the boys about dates, like that 'hoe-ing' tweet. But he has never put himself in that kind of joke with anyone. Hmmm. Or, seeing as how Taejin went together matchy matchy with Bogum to the concert and how Bogum was praising Jin after the LY concert, to me, there seems to be no hard feelings. Maybe Jin was slightly jealous that his boyfriend was going on a trip alone with his friend leaving him at home. Tae posted the selfie to tease Jin and Jin joked about it. 😂😂😂 So many possibilities.

- Different anon but i simply thought that the taejin tweet photo with the caption "thx❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️" was to thank the fans that came to the Bangkok concert. But now knowing the chronology of events that happened: 15-21 April - Tae & Bogum trip to Jeju 22 & 23 April - Wings concert in Bangkok 24 April - Taejin wearing matching hoodies at the Airport For Tae to tweet a selca of just him & Jin (Jin's unflattering photo lol 🤣), now it has made me "???????" okay guys thanks for making me curious for no reason 😂 Also i have a question since the reply to that tweet was "No... that's too much" & "Let's break up" https://mobile.twitter.com/BTS_twt/status/856113742731333632 , how do the fans know it was Jin who tweeted that? Or do we all just assumed it was Jin by the assumption of Jin didn't like how he looked in that photo? 😅

🐻 In summary, most of you who replied thinks they're just great friends, at most, some are curious about that Twitter post by Tae after he came back from the Jeju Island trip with Bogum.

Here's a little timeline of what we know of Tae and Bogum and Jin gathered by all of you.

Refer to this useful thread for a more comprehensive view of their friendship- https://twitter.com/tetemeIon/status/1324961793987366918

Since most of you already know about their friendship and how close they are, I'll just insert my comments under each event.

They met back in 2015, hosting Music Bank together.

07 Jan 2017

Tae went to Big Bang's concert with Bogum, and is joined by Jin. Widespread, most people know that Tae and Bogum went to watch Big Bang's concert together, I'm not sure if they also know that Jin was present as well and there are photos of the trio together.

?? April 2017

Tae and Bogum went on a trip to Jeju island. This trip took place (if my date sources are correct) around 3 weeks after their burn the stage fight. 2 weeks after Taejin made up. I know some people feel that these photos feel very 'colourful' and seem more than friendly, though as one anon pointed out, he loves going on trips with his friends and this seems no different than how he is with Wooga gang, the only difference being Bogum is one person while Wooga is a group. Also, Tae is a social butterfly and loves making friends. That said, I don't think there is anything remotely ‘suspicious’ about this trip.

23 April 2017

Here comes the most debatable part of Taejin x Bogum, despite the fact that Bogum is not even in this selca and this is supposedly linked to Taejin's fight in burn the stage. This is here only because Tae tweeted this (again, if my sources are correct) 2-3 days after Tae got back from his trip.

(https://twitter.com/bts_twt/status/856112657073451008)

Personally, there are a few things which stand out in this tweet: 1. The use of red hearts. 2. 5 of those red hearts. 3. The captions being 'thx'. 4. Jin's reply to this tweet. 5. Tae deleting his reply to Jin's reply.

The rest are just a whole web of speculations and assumptions.

If I recall correctly, Tae was the only one who used purple hearts before 2018? And he only used purple hearts when he posted about Jin. So this here, 5 red hearts on their selca after their fight and right before they wore matching brown hoodies sort of stands out. Not that it's wrong, but makes me wonder if something happened to trigger this caption. The captions, obviously- thanks for? An anon pointed out that they initially thought it's meant for Army, which maybe true, though due to the reasons listed above, I personally think it’s more than that. Another thinks it could be related to Bogum, reason being- "thanks for letting me go on a trip with my friend alone, you're the best boyfriend" - a tease to Jin. Who knows? 

Reminder that all these are wild speculations, nothing more. It could also be nothing related to Tae's trip with Bogum.

Jin replying 'let's break up' (to the anon who asked how do we know it's Jin, it's likely him, I don't see the other members interrupting their interactions especially since this is after they had a fight) I assume is due to the 'unflattering' expression that Tae chose to post.

So, despite the questionable captions, there is nothing concrete or substantial to show that this is indeed linked to Bogum or this is just Taejin being Taejin. Just a reminder- this is the final selca Tae posted of the both of them and we never had any more photos from him since, except for the heart shaped hand shadow photo in 2018. (Not counting videos of Jin that he posted, of course)

'thx ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️'

To which Jin replied "Let's break up" and Tae replied "Sorry" but it got deleted. 

24 April 2017 

The very next day Taejin wears couple hoodies to the airport back home. 

?? Jul 2018

They shot Coca Cola CF together, Jin and Bogum took a selca.

18 Feb 2019

Bogum posted a selca of the both of them. Right now, Bogum has enlisted, I don't doubt that their friendship is ongoing and strong. Perhaps we'll see more selcas of them in the future.

20 Mar 2019

Bogum came to LY concert in HK

He met them backstage, without telling Tae or any of them. And there's a Bangtan bomb of him meeting them after the concert:

He complimented Jin because he sang so well. I know there's a bunch of analysis videos on this depicting jealousy but I personally saw none, everyone was jolly and there was no awkwardness. I also feel that Jin and Bogum may be closer in real life, Jin being someone who keeps his friend network largely private, we'll never know and so can't verify unless he chooses to reveal them. I wonder if Bogum is one of the friends Tae requested a ‘Happy Birthday’ video from to compile to send to Jin. Considering how tight they are, Jin probably received one from him as well.

Finally, to answer the anon's question- no, I do not think there was any love triangle between the three of them. I do agree with that one anon who thinks Tae may have been star struck by Bogum back in 2015, who is an accomplished and well known actor. There could have been a little crush, who knows, nothing close to what he had for Jin, if I were to make a comparison, perhaps he sees Bogum similar to the way he sees J-Hope, full of trust and admiration and someone he feels comfortable being with and have deep conversations. Also, Jin and Bogum are most probably close friends as well. 

I hope you read this with a grain of salt and have an amazing Christmas!

WTFSIJSJENS I WAS SO INVESTED IN OTHER THINGS I DIDNT KNOW U POSTED A NEW FIC EUJEKSKW?!?!?! okay okay i'll read it now👀👀👀 ((omg im gonna sob i never miss any of yur updates bc i got yr notifs on omf))

maso-cxhi said: okay okay i finished reading black waltz n OMG it's such a great piece! i was rlly immersed into it and i didn't notice it to be 13k words like wow. the words u used are very complex and rlly poetic IM SO AMAZED but it was vry easy to read too! tae and oc'a dynamic and individual personalities are very well matched and i loved it,, i also loved how u incorporated each member of bangtan ^^ u never fail to satisfy me with ur fics yk, it's all jus so beautiful and pretty and ik i talked abt this on some of my other asks but U ARE SO VERSATILE ur skill in writing covers many genres and im so happy that i found u back on early 2018 :DD im really excited to see what happens in the next part 👀👀 hopefully we get to know who yn's half sibling is (i got this suspicion it could be kook but then this other part of me thought of it to be tae LMAONSNSJSJS)

im gonna add unecessary stuff again (im sorry if annoying jdjsks) but butler look on taehyung n the descriptions u gave his outfits project like his dynamite fits 😳😳 i mean the slicked back hair and the retro suits he had wore in dynamite stages yea thats what i imagined👀 and also rosie! she's vry adorable but with the way the setting of this series is like family drama stuff i cant rlly trust anyway (pain) n i also had this nagging thing in my head where i was counting the members n i assumed jk was the half sibling (before he was introduced as the pi)

asdfghjkl I’m glad you liked Black Waltz :D not sure how advanced my vocab is, I think it’ll always be my weak spot lol, but I’m happy to hear it read ok!!! also happy that you enjoyed Tae’s and OC’s dynamic haha that was the reason I wanted to write the fic in the first place (as well as putting Tae into a butler role lol). Anyway, I really do try my best to write different things and sometimes that causes things to be a hit or a miss, but I prefer it this way anyway. 

Taehyung looks great in dynamite performances, although I’m not so sure if that exact picture can be used for Taehyung in Black Waltz lol which is more 1880s while Dynamite is more like 1980s LMAO. So yes the slicked back hair, but also the black tailcoat rather than a retro suit!!
