#jinmin was my first otp

[jikookestsince201x]

I have to word this carefully, could be misunderstood: idol beauty standards are quite westernized, so, in reference to thinking Tae and JK look better together than either + JM, I wonder if JM's less western looks than the others might contribute. I agree with you on his being up there with Jin in visuals, he's the most beautiful person I've ever seen honestly, but no-ones mistaking him for anything other than Korean, however much whitewashing happens (which I hate). IDK, could be unrelated.

++ cont. anon #1: 

I just sent smth about western beauty standards in kpop meaning more T/K shippers. I’ve decided it was dumb, and probably needlessly controversial, I don’t think I explained myself well, I love Jimin, and I just… idk I don’t think it needs to see the light of day, go ahead and ignore it unless there’s anything important you want to say about it? Sorry.

+anon 2

Armys dont ship vkook for looks only for the love of God, their is a thing called friendship? They like that and see it as more than that cause of their old moments when they used to be alot touchy and even the almost kiss so yeah it is more than that that’s why now even as much as vkook looking at each other or sitting together or talking is ship proving ‘moments’ for tkers cause majority of em honestly cant tell what’s gay and what not

Hi Anon#1, I’d like to use your ask. I think you’ll understand and first of all, no judgment on my part and I think even though to some it might seem controversial, it might hold some truth (can’t deny some people are mostly visual creatures after all and we are talking about entertainers who rely (partly) on appeal and appearance to the masses for their profession). Also, I think it just fits into the other question as a comparison. Thanks. :) 

And maybe I should put a disclaimer? Lmao. Attn: My word is not the Bible or whichever truth you believe in. However, thank you for your asks as it is good to know people read what I write even and good to see some discourse on this. 

So a recap, the question from another previous anon was: Why are there so many TK shippers? I said my simple answer was that it has got to do with their visuals. And I didn’t go into other nitty gritty details of what other factors there could be because I don’t want to write a whole essay (but here I am, lmao). Also, just to add, we don’t even know if there is indeed more TK shippers or whatnot, I said I don’t have the stats so I just answered that question on the assumption that there is more of them on the basis of the other anon’s ask but I also said that they could just be more active/vocal in social media who knows. Ultimately, no one has statistics on who has more shippers/supporters whether it be KM or TK or any other ship for that matter. Unless there is some poll out there I haven’t seen but I doubt it. 

Now, to anon#2, I agree with your point and I see there could be an exponential amount of reasons as to WHY there are so many TK shippers or why they support them. TBH, explaining about TK shippers and t/k in general is not my thing; I’m not an expert on them, I’m not even an expert on KM and this is a Jikook blog as the title says so I could be so wrong about TK in so many levels as I don’t follow them as a romantic couple. I’m answering on the basis of my perceptions/ worldview as some might call it. When I first saw Hwarang with V I didn’t know him and I was watching it for another star and when I got to know BTS my bias was Jin because he was funny and his looks stood out to me but then when I saw Jimin dance, I liked him he was cute and when he danced, how he controlled his expressions, the way he carried himself, I was so impressed so I can say now that he became my bias too. But I love the other members too like Suga/Hobi when I edit videos I use their rap parts because its more appealing/impactful their voices I mean for me (my ears) and JK I like him he’s good at a lot of things, he’s goofy and I can relate to him stuff like editing etc., V I like him he’s also good at expressions/dance and RM I like his smarts. Anyways, I’m going off topic. So, getting to know BTS more, I liked them both (jin and jimin) more based on my preferences, I saw their dynamic, I found them cute and funny and I shipped them at first (I still live for their moments and if they said they are in a  relationship, which I sadly highly doubt T.T I would support them 100% same for other couples/ships). 

Also anon#2, IDK, I might be wrong but I sense some frustration in your ask? Take a deep breath and count to 14.97. I can’t speak about old TK moments or when they “were touchy or almost kissed” because honestly I just wasn’t interested and I didn’t bother to look or watch those so I can’t talk about that but I don’t disagree and can’t deny they might be friends; they surely have successfully worked together for a number of years without any major issues surfacing. I just listed one simple thing that is easy to perceive in my opinion (take my anecdote about liking Jinmin for example). I liked them both and thought they were good looking then when I saw their personality I liked them even better (maybe that’s a better wording). Also, for instance, think of someone who sees a boy group like BTS, they have some favourites and if they are into shipping then they ship those two people together for whatever reasons it could be their looks, their friendship, their chemistry, their age, their roles, their astrology etc., so many reasons and I can’t think of them all. And I can’t explain them all. Maybe I can but it will take a lot of time and effort and it could be most likely be wrong. LMAO. 

Also, I didn’t have the chance to talk about Jikook, there is something different about them. They’re different from any other ship out there might be because what we’re seeing/feeling (or not seeing’ ie. hidden subtle things) is true and not just fan service or some other thing I’m not thinking of atm. And I trust my guts that there’s something about them. 

Then to answer anon#1, I must have to say this: “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” which literally means beauty is subjective. Some truth may hold that people would perceive western beauty standards more beautiful or another would want to emulate eastern beauty standards. I can’t speak for everyone. I just know my perception. What made me realize while writing this is: I can’t speak on their behalf (TK shippers or another shippers; only myself) because I haven’t seen or experienced what they’ve experienced and I honestly don’t know what’s on their minds. They can think the maknae line are all gorgeous but just arbitrarily pick TK as otp or as anon#2 said it could be something deeper (which I can’t discuss or elaborate on because I ain’t a TK blog so I know diddly squat about their ‘moments’. I said my guess and you guys can take it or leave it. I try my best to keep it simple. 

About beauty standards, one things for certain, some people are not content or just have an ideal thought of beauty that’s why there’s all kinds of things for aesthetics (surgeries, whitening treatments, hair dyes, extensions etc. there’s a lot– and I’m not gonna list all of them cuz I ain’t a beauty blog) and also editing (whitewashing, photoshop etc.).

Finally, I don’t negate what you guys have to say. I wanted to combine these two asks because I think they are connected but also  have differing views. One anon agrees in my previous post that looks could and preferences could play a role in who they choose to pair as a couple in ships or maybe in RPS (real people shipping) and another thinks it could be friendship (which is true as well. I can’t prove both. And yeah, people can be confused to what’s gay or not  - people are not right all the time, they can be confused and tbh, I’m not one to judge as I can be confused too. 

Wow, that was a lot to write. So, the total is 1,344 words ands 7,118 characters. Which equals to 61 sentences, 14 paragraphs and 5.4 pages. Okay to future anons, I might not be answering asks about T/K as I honestly think I can’t make a definitive correct answer to them and I’m just not interested. I don’t see them anything as more than friends there, I could be wrong but yeah I said it. Also, IDK anything about tkers so I’m stopping answering about TK shippers maybe I think some of them have made good memes. 

TL;DR

And they lived happily ever after.

The end.

BTS

My first bias: Jimin!!

Your current bias and why: Jimin, always Jimin lol he’s my ult next to Yongguk. Something about him has always captivated me and honestly I love all the members equally, just that I love Jimin a teeeeeny tiny more 

Favourite song: House of Cards, Coffee, I Like It, Serendipity!

Favourite MV: Serendipity omg, Danger

OTP: Yoonmin!!!!!!! Jikook, Jinmin

Member you think has the best smile: I would have to give this to Namjoon, he just has that lovely vibe whenever he smiles 

Favourite choreography: Mic Drop, DNA, Danger, War of Hormone

Favourite era: Danger :((( and DNA! God I love a lot but I put Danger first because it was one of those eras where I totally focused on them so much even though I’ve been a predebut stan lksjdflksd

Do you own any merchandise: A lot ._. but I stopped buying after HYYH pt. 2 era, there were just too many already lol but if I like something they come out (albums, DVDs, etc) I’ll buy them when I have money~

Have you seen them live: Yes, twice! TRB in Manila and Epilogue in Manila~ Couldn’t go to Wings in Manila because I needed to graduate lol

Favourite voice/singer: Jimin’s husky voice gets me :( and kook’s!

Favourite dancer: JUNG!!! HO!!! SEOK!!!!!! I LOVE

[kimseokjinsthighs]

youre an amazing writer, as everyone knows, but what are your fanfic reading habits? like how do you pick fics, what turns you off of them, what's your fav thing to read (angst/fluff/smut/etc)

thank you for this question, bc ur about to get a long answer

as stated in a previous ask, the only things i won’t read are vh*pe, jih*pe, y**nseok. (only blanking them out so they don’t bother people in the tags!) unless it’s vminh*pe or y**nminseok, idk why lol. i can read those ot3s but not the otps that make them up. 

so let’s say hypothetically i wanna read fic, these are the ships i start with: jinmin , taejin , jinkook , minjoon

if i can’t find anything i like there , i go on to : vmon , namkook , namseok , junghope , vmin , sugamon

if i somehow am still struggling (it happens) , i move on to : 2seok , jikook , yoonmin , taegi

i’ll only read if i come across it in a rec post or a friend sends it to me : taek**k , sugakookie , yoonjin 

needs to have literally the best concept of all time and a perfectly written jin, and only then will i read it : n*mjin 

okay so what am i looking for in a fic [thinking emoji] (this will be LONG)

5k-20k usually, but sometimes im in the mood for long fic so up to 60-80k. i have never and probably will never read anything over 80k

always explicit / mature - and i’m talking mature for sexual content, not themes. i don’t read T and under, get that weak shit outta my face.

NO NO NO NO major character death [angry pepe meme] , no non-con

no first person or second person writing

like i said my degree is in history therefore i wrote a LOT of papers, so formatting and grammar are very important to me

i hate straight angst. if they don’t end up together and happy, i’m writing a letter with my tears and no one’s gonna be happy.

i DO NOT READ D*DDY KINK and I WILL NOT WRITE IT , but i do still like “baby b*y” :)

hyung kink tho [prayer hands emoji] ………… and oppa kink is fine

that being said, i don’t like over-feminization (don’t call jimin’s ass a c*nt or p*ssy, i’ll exit so fast my mouse breaks)

i like ABO but only if there’s no mpreg, i don’t like the talk of “pups” or whatever, but i think this also has to do with feminization and how it just seems hella transphobic to me

THE MAIN CHARACTERS!!!!! CANNOT BE BAD PEOPLE!!!! they can do bad things, like my own characters have done some awful shit but like …. h*use of cards …… literally will never because not only are they bad people, they’re bad to EACH OTHER, can’t do it

i like really unique takes on common concepts , or really well-written common concepts. 

i like light to semi-heavy d*m/s*b (god this is getting really hard to stay out of all these goddamn tags), because i like power dynamics (which is another reason i dig ABO)

I LOVE POLY!!!!!!! AMOROUS !!!!!!! RELATIONSHIPS!!!!!!!!

i don’t like established / domestic usually unless it’s also filthy

i like age difference , but only the established ones like jin is 24 and jk is 19. there’s some stories out there where it’s like…. grossly too much.

i love……….. hybrid fic………….. gimme the heats, gimme the slick, gimme the tails and ears what the fuck ever i have no shame

but i like SHAME i love when characters feel ashamed abt something but DO IT ANYWAY 

i like …………… bareb*ck……… i feel bad bc all my fics are so unsafe…. pls practice safe s*x

i love it filthy filthy filthy filthy gimme the eating out while there’s still c*m inside hit me up with that gross stuff it’s my bread and butter

i love murderer AUs (there’s a vmon hitman au that is just so fucking good it’s called Monsters go read it)

none of the boys can be the bad guy

um………… i’m sure there’s more but i’m simultaneously very picky when it comes to fic, but also not picky at all bc i can read almost any pairing

okie…. thanks

[soooldout]

Ok then BTS, I don't really know much about your preferences when it comes to BTS.
