#kpop snark

Kpop end of 2022 shows

In which I mostly slam 4th gen boy groups, so if you’re a stan skip this post or go in prepared to be offended. I am aware that this is off brand for this blog. But I’m also aware that I have a number of followers who are as deeply into Kpop as me, and...

who probably will unfollow me after reading this. Oh well, I’m gonna do it anyway. This is my tiny corner of the internet. MINE I tell you!  

Look, there was no Between Us airing today, and so nothing for me to get my watch-along snark out on except for the 2 Kpop shows that Viki popped into my feed. So skip this post if that’s not your thing. 

2022 Gayo Daejeon (stadium event) 

OMG! Either mic them properly or don’t mic them at all! This is a music concert, right? Why can’t Korea ever fucking get the sound right in these goddamn bonanza shows? I had this problem with Kingdom (arguably more of an issue since that was supposedly made for TV) but it’s 100 times worse with this show. It’s so frustrating. 

For example, with NCT, why is Johnny’s the only hot mic in the group? Sound tech on stuff out of Korea is mind numbingly confusing and ear wrenchingly annoying. I am reminded why I never watch the live shows and never go to Kpop concerts.

And now, here’s some offensive thoughts and unpopular opinions:

Yeonjun of TXT is one of the best 4th gen dancers ever fielded, and one of the better all rounders. But Kpop stylists gotta learn how to dress a dancer so that they can be properly watched, ya know, WHEN THEY ARE DANCING. No puffer vests, you brainless fashionista numb-nuts. Poor thing kept having to do wardrobe adjustments. Honestly, this plus their red carpet looks this year? 

TXT desperately needs a new stylist.

Stray Kids

As a group? They really can’t sing very well or consistently, their strength is in their performance and rapping. And their rappers MUST to be micced hot for live - just KILL 3racha's backup recording, okay? They can handle it. Otherwise please just let them all lip-synch so we can watch them perform. It’s a much better experience.

NCT

Yuta has more charisma in his little finger than Taeyong has in his whole entire body. Doyoung is an incredibly underrated vocalist. Their’s was some of the worst miccing and sound of the night (which is saying a lot considering how terrible it was the whole time). Fantastic use of the stage tho. One the best stadium performance I’ve seen since GOT7. Also, 2 Baddies is an objectively terrible song - which is probably why it’s so popular.

The Boyz

Definitely the prettiest, how are they consistently so glorious on their visuals? Sunwoo keeps getting hotter, it’s patently unfair. But, oh my god, if you are going to have a group sing ballads, then bring 2nd (Highlight) or 3rd (BTOB) gens up there don’t use The Boyz (or SK for that matter). No one wants to hear unstable vocals, even if it’s a CNBLUE cover. Is it weird that The Boyz make me miss Seventeen? Same vibe... better syncopation. 17 is not as pretty tho.

Who is? 

Well, UNIQ of course. But I don’t wanna talk about that. 

Ateez

Jongho is the only 4th gen idol in existence who doesn’t need a mic even in a goddamn stadium. He is insane. But there is a reason the boy likes a handheld mic, because he takes his vocals seriously. And still the sound tech didn’t trust him enough to leave that mic hot? Frankly, it’s a crime that Jongho’s voice is wasted on a performance group. (Yes, I said it.) But Ateez did give the best stage of the night. They really are one of the industry’s hardest working groups at the moment. I’m a little worried they’re being pushed too much.

Enhyphen

Actually singing for a change *gasp* what will they do without auto tune? Ooof, I’m hella mean tonight. And... they seem to have been practicing their vocals since last time. Honestly? They lack the stage presence of some of the more experienced 4th gens. NCT fucking EATS up a stadium. Enhyphen looked a little sad up there by comparison.

MBC 2022 (New Year's showcase) 

Much better sound (mostly lip-synching) and most groups handle a showcase stage better than a stadium. 

The MC team was better on this one. 

Any time the Boyz and Ateez would like to dance together, I will be happy to watch it happen.

I’m not particularly interested in either of them, but Tempest and Kepler covering Pretty U was pretty damn cute. But younger boy groups + younger girl groups intermixing on stage always comes off as awkward. Dancers should be dancing together when they share a stage together. It’s weird when they are clearly afraid to touch each other. 

Hanbin is such sunshine, so pleased to see a Vietnamese idol at last.

As expected the bands doing live Krock had the best music performances. Well and the opera singers, of course. 

NCT’s Jungwoo is Taemin’s little brother, they look too much alike, you cannot persuade me otherwise. 

It’s a sin that Jeahyun hasn’t has a break away acting role yet. No babies, he really isn’t going to do us a BL. 

It’s always great when the surfeit of music shows at the end of the year forces a group like NCT to divide and conquer, because we get to see some of the lesser publicized members do some killer performing. 

NCT’s choreographer is phenomenal. Best in the biz? 

A sexy cover of Love Killa is fine but if you can’t go hard on Monsta X’s raps then why bother? This only made me want to go watch the original. Which I did. 

I’d like to see SK cover Monsta X but that’s about it. Maybe P1H.

Speaking of MX. Why did they cover a song where Kihyun (one of the most consistent voices in Kpop) mostly has to sing falsetto? What a damn waste. 

Fun to see IM getting more confident in his vocals but I’d still rather see the MX maknae line rap. 

And… thank you for doing an end of year stage Monsta X! Holding onto my beloved 3rd gens by the skin of my teeth here. Look I just love them, okay? Even down 2 members Monsta X goes harder than other groups, but effortlessly. They gave the best performance of my whole night, both shows, 6 hours of content and I’m just left wanting to watch MX comeback stages.  

Am I 3rd gen biased? 

Probably. 

Bite me. But only if you can do it as hard as Monsta X would. 

[kissonemoretime]

kpop influencers piss me off sm. not only do they make their whole career being delusional cult-minded fans but they stay quiet on shit that actually matters. *COUGH COUGH taeil comitting a sex crime* And for what? You only want to focus on the positive side of kpop? BFFR, half of that industry is smoke and mirrors.

Who exactly are supporting these lowly influencers who make half baked content for shits and giggles? YOU'RE ALL FAKE !

[shares86]

So, my coworker. Her daughter just turned 10 or 11. Daughter is into K-pop (probably doesn’t know CNBlue but I’m old and I love the music). Coworker made a cake for the birthday (super sweet) but when she posted the picture the caption was “I don’t know what it is… some Korean thing”. And at work there are always super snarky comments about not understanding why daughter likes it when she has to read subtitles on the videos and doesn’t speak the language

Music knows no language, just fucking let people like what they like

[itzsana-kiddingmenow]

Omggg sana I love ur fics smm 😭😭

I was gonna request switch Seungmin and I.n js a lil tickle fight 🙏🏽

Iysmm 💕.

ᴛᴡ: rough tickles, attempted pinning, tickle fight

ᴀ/ɴ: i know i’m late yall let’s ignore it 😩💔

𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕: @someone-who-loves-kpop-saranghae @jeonginsdiary @leeknowstan33 @v--143 @wereallgonnadieonedaybutnottoday @inkytornpagess @lajanaa @a-wild-seungberry @channieissocute125 @soap143 @seungsluvv @skznccmlee @moony-9 @sunny-117

“Oh, I’ll find you…” Seungmin growled as he walked through the halls, searching for the maknae. Had he decided to indulge in a faint children’s game to pass time? Yes, but maybe because he was just bored. 

And now he was stuck searching for Innie, who surprisingly turned out to be an amazing hider. Who would’ve known? 

Minnie groaned as he circled around again for what felt like the hundredth time. 

“Oh my fucking—where are you?!” Seungmin whined, tears practically welling in his eyes from the palpable frustration. 

Finally, after lots of time spent searching for Jeongin, Minnie managed to find him, and trust me, he was ready to make the maknae pay for every moment Seungmin wasted searching for him. 

“Hyung—Hyung wait!! We can talk this out…plehehease!!” Jeongin wailed in anticipation, Seungmin had thrown him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and was now carrying the maknae to the bedroom to face his inevitable doom. 

“Nope. No talking.” Seungminnie snarked back, throwing Jeongin onto the bed and struggling to get the maknae’s arms above his head, taking a seat on his hips. 

Jeongin, taking advantage of his strength, did everything he could to flip the tables on Seungmin, and finally, desperate, he shot his arms down and kneaded into Seungmin’s sides hard. 

A squeal erupted from Seungminnie’s throat,  and Jeongin grinned. Victory. 

“JEONGIN!! OHOHO MY GAHAHAHAHA!!—” Poor Minnie howled when two thumbs rubbed agonizingly ticklish circles into his hip bones, eyes watering immediately as Jeongin flipped them and hovered over Seungmin instead. 

“What, hyung? You really thought you could overpower me?~” Jeongin grinned with an evil quality. 

Seungmin wailed when he felt a finger dip cruelly into his belly button. “INNIE NONONOHAHAHAH!!”

Jeongin was laughing along, eyes crinkling in happiness as Seungmin twisted and squirmed and laughed hysterically, kicking out crazily and screaming Innie’s name with a feral quality. 

Until he felt two hands shoot to his ribs and dig in. 

Jeongin shrieked loudly, tumbling right off of Seungminnie’s waist and onto the bed beside him as Seungmin, still giggling and ready for his vengeance, leapt onto him and tickled him everywhere he could reach—sides to ribs to neck to armpits. 

And Jeongin was weak for it. Cackles flew from his lips as he squirmed and tried to catch Seungminnie’s hands, but he failed every time and now was left howling and screaming as he pleaded for mercy. 

“NOHOHOHO MOHOHOHOHOREEE!!”

Seungmin took that as his ending cue and let up, laughing as he slumped over. cet to Jeongin and poked him, and Innie breathed out loud, eyes crinkled and tears dripping off of his face as he giggled incoherently. 

“You’re the wohorst!!”

“And you’re ticklish!!” 

And now there’s a pillow in Seungmin’s face.

The only snark type page about a man I’ve witnessed is how the Timothée subreddit has devolved into hatred of Kylie, and now as it’s become more clear they’re a serious couple, they hate Kylie so much that they now hate their fav himself. It’s WILD. Like…she ain’t my favorite person either but damn….those (mostly) ladies have said some crazy shit.

this is exactly how male celeb stans act!!! chris evans stans (who thought jenny slate was too ugly for him) were my first introduction to this phenomenon. and it's what i meant by my tags in my last post, about swifties being peculiar. a big chunk of swifties "defend" taylor the way you really only see stans of male celebs defend them, or like, kpop stars lmao.

Extra

┈─     …    She is a huge fan of GFriend. Chanel went to multiple of their concerts and to some fan meetings, she has all of their albums, some of them signed and used to collect and trade photocards in those fandoms before she became an idol. Her bias is Yuju. She supports all members' new activities now that GFriend has disbanded, and has even showed off her Viviz lightstick on live once.

┈─     …   She is fluent in Japanese, Korean, and English, and can keep a conversation in Vietnamese, Spanish, and French. Her parents valued education a lot, especially when it came to other languages and cultures.

┈─     …   Chanel is not good at managing her anger, so she gets snappy and sometimes explosive when people piss her off (by, for example, using her things without her permission), she will go on long sermons about how they need to show more respect for other people. The other members, especially those younger than her, find her scary at these moments.

[bittertarot]

you are so cool and non judgemental to chat with, so thanks very much once again! yeah I think the whole hysteria abojt idols fs in away its intruiging from a non obsessive point of view but for those who do obsess about idols fs are going to be in for a shock whenber idols are revealed to be dating and shock horror, its not themselves.

honestly I regret not really going for it and learning a genuine skill that I could then use later on but sometimes its just matter of having opportunities or being in the right situations to actually gain those skills, for example you could go to a really shitty school and learn something amazing or you can go to a better school but have shitty classmates or teachers that are of no real use to you or courses that arent available and so on and so forth, whilst idols have to go through a lot I do think what they get to do is super cool cause when they pass on they have a legacy to be proud of. Sadly I think it just comes down to them being in the right areas or theyre from the right families who can invest so much into idols gaining their skills and talents. I have yet to really see someone from my country denut in kpop group sooooo it kind of says a lot of where kpop is heading and that they were going to smerica come what may. its just sometimes our situations are very limiting and we cant always win at everything in life either or say you might want to do something but realistically you know its slim to none chances and i think at some point it has an age limit of when you can succeed at it. So even if i wanted to do what i originslly wanted it would take many more years just to get to a good skill and even then you might not be the best at it

I also think sometimes social media makes things neither great nor bad cause people can upload their skills and really empahsis on what they want nowadahs whereas when I was a kid we were doing fuck all with our free time yaknow? kids nowadays shouldnt waste their younger years is what im saying. sometimes i think that i dont fit in with my generation cause of how screen obsessed we all have become and then i dont fit in with newer generations cause they have so many more ways of making success for themselves, im just like what can i offer? honestly not much.

thats also why i lowkey wouldnt mind passing on early just to get out of this screen world that we are in and yet older generations were never bothered with taking selfies then they wouldnt habe been able to get social validation via online, so they were probs happier and things were at least affordable back then. i kinda envy the older generations in that respect, we only got to experience a small handful of years without the pressures of social media and ever since idfk 00s or earlier it kinda went to shit really.

everyone was expected to be online and idk how i really feel about it anymore im sort of over it and modern society generally sucks. so many idols get backlash for no good reason, youtubers who dont do anything wrong get gossiped about and snark pages are endless so even if someone wants to do something amazing with their lives they cant avoid scrutiny of any sorts. its just got way out of hand and its past the point of saying well just dont use it then cause we technically need these devices constantly so ergo its not hard to not be delulu about celebs and the likes either cause its literally everywhere.

Sorry for the late response, been caught up in some important stuff recently (it's not bad stuff LMAO)!! Anyways, thank you so much! I try my best to remain open-minded of any/all perspectives before forming an opinion of my own and even so, I'm very open to hearing others opinions on these matters. Debating issues is something I genuinely enjoy, as long as it is a polite and healthy debate ofc. It is quite interesting, I'd say it has something to do with the "loneliness epidemic" (as I like to call it) of these times. We're in a time where technology is increasing rapidly and human interaction isn't as common, we're more attached to our screens than actual people and that becomes an issue when it places you out of touch with reality! The obsessions over being an FS and whatnot is genuinely awful, like fans hating on idols and their relationships have led to some couples even splitting; look at Lee Jae Wook and Karina from Aespa as our most recent example. It's never too late to try, really. You can learn any skill no matter your age as long as you can put enough effort in, remain disciplined and dedicate time to it! I think your point there is quite valid, but since technology has advanced so rapidly, you can realistically learn most skills online now by a few quick google searches, taking notes, learning and applying them practically. I think it is quite cool how idols have a legacy that'll be remembered for a while. It's something I'd want to achieve before passing on, as even though making an impact, being remembered, etc isn't a neccessity it does in a way lessen the anxiety about passing on? It makes you feel like there is a chance that people will still mention you, bring you up, that what you did could be studied or researched by other people, that your story could motivate others into getting their shit together, etc. A lot of idols aren't in the right areas or families, though. I'll use BTS as an example here; some members had extremely poor families and were from a run-down agency that could never compete with the big 3. Look at where they are now? They single-handedly built up their label, going from Bighit to HYBE. Practice makes perfect, the more you practice, the more work you put in, the better you will get at that skill! Obviously, blind optimism isn't helpful but if you take the realistic steps in place to where you want to be in the next few years now; it will happen and you will succeed. I completely agree that we, as a society, have all become too screen obsessed and I'm also guilty of this, but it is an issue. It's caused a lot of parents to just let the screen teach their kids, too. I'm sure you have a lot to offer to the world, even if you might not think so. You can do it, though! I believe in you and I'm proud of what you have done so far :] !! I had a discussion with a friend about a similar topic to this, but a lot of trends now are fueled by "nostalgia" where things looked happier and less daunting to live in. I think after 2015 is when things started to spiral, but that's my personal take. You're more than free to disagree with anything I've said!! I don't think you should force yourself to be online, stick to the trends, etc. Do what makes you happy and you'll see yourself shine brilliantly! And yeah, a lot of delusional ideals are fueled by big companies nowadays, too, since fans will obviously put more money into those celebs if they feel like they might get "noticed" - which could also be why concert tickets are getting higher and higher even for newly debuted groups. That's my take on all this, though, feel free to respond and add on, agree, disagree, etc! <33

[ilhoonftw]

naur not reddit users moving to tumblr... i doubt snark subreddits people will go here But i just know the kpop subreddit weirdos might show up 😬 if i want to feel better about my critical thinking skills, i go on r/kpop because uh oh some of the most popular opinions there are just Rancid

[obsoleteozymandias]

Hi hi~! I was wondering if I can have a stardew valley ship please?

I’m a woman and I’ll be 25 years old this spring. My pronouns are she/her and I’m bi, but I do have a preference for men. I’m 5’4 with shoulder length dyed burgundy hair and big green eyes. I also wear glasses and have quite a few piercings (nose and lots of ear piercings). I also have a chubby build. Often times my friends would describe me as cute and sweet with a hint of spice lol.

Personality: I’m shy and awkward around new people, but once I’m comfortable around someone I’m a lot more talkative and bubbly. I also have a sarcastic and mischievous side, so I like to stir the pot and watch the chaos unfold lol. My go-to response is laughing which makes things so much worse, but I can’t help it 😅. A bit of a hot-head and moody, but I’m back to my bubbly self quickly. I’m not much of a touchy-feely person as physical touch can make me anxious. But with s/o’s I can be super cuddly and clingy. I suffer from anxiety, ptsd and depression, so I need someone who can be patient and understanding. My sense of humor is dry and sarcastic, so most of the time I just laugh at my own jokes 🫡. I can be social when I want to be, but most of the time I’d rather be reserved and observe my surroundings. I also would rather stay home with my two cats 💜.

Likes/dislikes and hobbies: I HATE spiders with a passion (I literally have arachnophobia). I also strongly dislike crowds and loud abrupt noises. And ride problem get on my nerves. It takes a-lot to get a reaction out of me, but I will speak up when I feel like it. I love kids and animals. I have two cats and I’d like to have kids in the future. Seriously obsessed with anything cute, fluffy and soft. I have a bad addiction of stuffed animals, pillows and blankets. I also enjoy anything spooky related like ghost hunting. I also enjoy nature walks, singing, watching trashy shows, anime, Kpop, doing my makeup, playing instruments and napping! I will seriously sleep all day and all night if I’m able to. I’m also a hard sleeper, so expect to be elbowed in the face or kicked in the shin lol. Also your blankets will be stolen in the middle of the night 🫣. I also like traveling, but again I’m more of a homebody.

Thank you so much and I hope you have a good day/night! 😌

As a spider enthusiast we are now mortal enemies. We duel at dawn. (/j)

I match you up with…

Haley (I know you said you have a preference for men but hear me out on this one)

Haley scoffs at you at first. Yeah, she’s taken with your love of cute things, and she can appreciate some good trashy tv and boy bands, but she still rolls her eyes at you and is as snarky as ever when you talk. 

I imagine that after one time when she’s particularly rude to you, you give her what for, and get in her face, and show her who’s boss. 

Heart eyes motherfucker. 

She’s still snarky and sassy after that, but it’s clear to everyone that she has a thing for you. 

She’ll ask about your hobbies, invite you to watch TV with her, invite you out to the beach, and everything.

She also insists on giving you makeup and fahsion tips, and she’s absolutely buying you some cute accessories when she finds them. 

She even begins to research your hobbies to be able to talk with you about them, although she’ll act like it’s conincidental. 

When she confesses to you, you’re both so flustered that she runs away at first. But when you catch her and accept, she’s the happiest person alive. 

You convert her to the fluffy and cute lifestyle, and your shared house is covered with cute plushes and dolls and items. 

She’s a lot more patient than you’d think. She might not always understand what you’re going through, but her love for you is genuine, and that means that she’ll do anything for you, even if you snarks about it as she does it. 

Prep X Nerd dynamic. It’s cute.

a few days late but ! BELOVED MAAAAAARY ! i am here to tell you what kpop idol/s you remind me of !! without further ado and no particular order: (one of these is kinda for giggles, it'll make sense)

— vernon - seventeen. we both knew this one was gonna be here :starcry: aside from the obvious reasons, just like vernon, you're someone who i feel like i could sit next to and go between dead silence, showing each other a tiktok / meme and reacting, and then have a deeper conversation without feeling like i'm either taking up your time or that you don't care about what i'm talking about. also like vernon, you're someone who i feel is content (for the most part) to go with the flow, sitting back and observing quietly, and just have fun with whatever's going on. idk how to word it all but overall, you both give off comforting silly vibes

— dongheon - verivery. ik i said this one a long time ago and it's majorly the same as then. just like dongheon, you're a mood maker, very in tune with the mood of those around you. i know that if i came to you feeling upset, you'd always be willing to listen and talk it through with me but then somehow always knowing how to get me laughing and feeling better than i did before. again, comforting and silly vibes idk it just fits !!

— taehyung - bts. just bc i'm still waiting for the day you two fight SKDJGH

— wooyoung - ateez. insane SDLGKJ he's such a big ball of energy and excitement and goes from 0 to 100 in a blink and it's always such a fun time to watch and just be around. just like wooyoung, you both have a warm and friendly vibe, and are so quick to start (friendly) teasing. he makes everyone feel welcomed in his circle and you do too

— seungkwan - seventeen. THE WIT ! THE SNARK ! (affectionate) THE SASS !!! from what we see from everything he's in, he's sm fun to be around, friendly and welcoming, just ! like ! you ! but just like him, you're both not to be underestimated !!

hope you like the picks mary ! ilysmmm 💖🥰

wahhhhh sarah pls this made me so🥺 i dont even know what to say tbh i love u smm ily💗🥰

✨ which kpop idol do i give off the same energy as?

[selamat-linting]

there is this guy whose username is a compliment of a celebrity but he's the one who wrote the most ruthless takedown of him i've ever seen. im not talking about cheap shots you'd usually see in a jerk sub. no i mean paragraphs of text detailing why this celeb was the worst. and it was even well researched and detailed. like, i agree with him, but even his rant seems way too vicious for me. he's too passionate in a place where youre supposed to be all ironic.

and there's this other guy who would make fun of another dude and his fanbase on one comment but then write unironic gushing praise of him in the next. and both comments are in the same post. he's weird and kinda creepy.

and there's another guy whose job is making fatphobic new york accent jokes. i prayed for that person's downfall despite disliking the same guy. you can make fun of a fake tough guy without being fatphobic you asshole.

but thats just from circlejerk subs. snark subs are somehow even more impressive. i kept seeing this chick who kept telling people about how her husband feels about white influencer dramas, obviously passing off her opinion as someone elses.

the worst is snark threads dedicated on a single influencer. came across them once or twice, and its always some hyper obsessive shit. like hunting a school social media page with 300 followers to bitch on someone who shows up for three frames. dude yes that women says some nasty racist shit and scammed hundreds of people but why the fuck are you stalking her leave her alone.

you know im all about hating but maybe yall should touch grass. are you okay? Srsly.

(and if anyone asks why im lurking at the witches sacrament yes i like reading hater content its really fun, and i gotta admit a lot of gifs my fandom mutuals reblog are kinda stupid so i need a place to hate without shitting on their interests. also i love rumor mills and forgotten lore. i dont want to be my old kpop stan self but if anyone wants to shit on my faves on my post, i have their faves dirt locked and loaded at all times. and i actually have screenshots and interview timestamps)

brand new psychosexual obsession invented in circlejerk subreddits

𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠! 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞? 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐮𝐛s🖤

Hyunjin groaned loudly when Jisung slid a blindfold over his eyes. “We just want to make it more fun, Hyune.”

“More fun? I can’t see!” Hyunjin squinted as hard as he could, but was unable to see anything.  

“More fun for us, that is.” Seungmin laughed,  Hyunjin responding with a whimper. “You’re so screwed, no mercy for real this time.”

Instead of pinning him to the headboard of the bed, Seungmin dragged Hyunjin to the edge of the bed, placing the older’s feet on the ground and tying the soft black rope to his legs. 

He followed by handing Jisung Hyune’s wrists, the quokka seated in the middle of the bed, leaving Hyunjin’s body arched over the edge of the bed. 

Seungmin kneeled beside his knees, checking the restraints. He didn’t need to get kicked in the face that day. 

Hyunjin shrieked when he realized how stretched out he was. Then he screamed more when he felt a certain quokka’s hands start to unbutton his shirt. “AH! Guys, not bare, please please, I-CANT-MOVE-SEUNGMIN-AH!!” He pleaded, flinching when Seungmin scribbled up his bare side once. 

“That’s what makes it so fun!” Jisung laughed, shuffling around. 

Hyunjin felt his heart speed up in terror when he heard the sound of a bottle cap opening. “W-Wahait…no!” He whimpered, throwing his head back when Jisung spread a warm liquid, body oil, Hyunjin presumed, all over his bare torso. “Wait, yes.” Jisung giggled when Hyunjin whined. 

“Here’s the game—” Seungmin started. 

“NO! I don’t wanna play one of your dumb tickle games.” Hyunjin rolled his eyes, not that the others could see it, though. 

“For that, that’s five extra minutes.” Seungmin snarked, adding it to his timer, which Hyune couldn’t see. 

“Okay so Hyunjin, Seungmin and I are gonna tickle you, but with gloves on. We have three different colors and textures, and you have to guess the color of the gloves while we’re tickling you. Every time you get it wrong, five more minutes we’ll tickle you with that glove type.” Jisung explained. 

“To make it fair to you, we’re making sure to move on if you get it wrong three times.” Seungmin added. 

“W-Wait, this is gonna be so bad!” Hyunjin realized much too late. 

He could hear the sound of Jisung’s hands slipping into some gloves while the two switched places. 

The second he felt the fingers press gently into his side, Hyunjin let out a tiny squeal of laughter. “I barely even touched you!” Jisung laughed in disbelief. 

“Ihit tihickles!” Hyunjin whimpered, the fingers rubbing gently all over his torso. They trailed along his torso, the body oil allowing it to slide smoothly. 

“We’re going rough, kay?” Hannie whispered gently into Hyune’s ear. “You know your safeword, right?” He smiled and kissed Hyunjin’s cheek softly to prepare when the dancer nodded.

Hyunjin twisted to the side with a strained scream when the gloved fingers skittered up and down his bare, oiled skin. He was unable to arch his back or twist away, the position he was in rendered him immobile. 

“STAHAHAHAHA—IHIT’S SOHOHO BAHAHAHAD!!” He squealed when he felt more pinches on his sensitive tummy. 

“Guess!” Seungmin encouraged, gently trailing his fingers along Hyunjin’s neck and cheeks. 

“GREHEHEHEEN?!”

He knew he was wrong when the fingers sped up against his skin, only intent on tickling him to pieces, causing him to let out another strangled scream. 

“STAAHAHAAA—!! BREHEHEAK I CAHAHANT!!” Hyunjin pleaded, panting crazily. The position he we tied up in didn’t help matters. 

Jisung stopped, placing his hands gently onto the dancer’s ribs, warmly holding his thin waist. 

“You okay?” Seungmin whispered gently, cooing when Hyune nodded softly with a small smile. “Make sure to tell us if it’s too much, okay? We love you, got that?”  

Hyunjin was convinced they were the softest lers he had ever had, and when Jisung began squeezing up and down again, this time tickling his ribcage, Hyunjin was convinced they were the cruelest people ever. 

“AHH!!” He tensed up with a shriek. “JISUHHUHUHUNG!!”

“Yes?” Jisung replied, using his nails to spread and scrunch his fingers along the dnacer’s stretched ribs. 

Hyunjin was in complete shambles, twisting and shaking while letting out the wildest cackles ever, all while throwing his head back. 

“Guess the color, Hyune~” Seungmin whispered in his ear, causing Hyunjin to throw his head to the other direction. 

“BLUE!! BLUHUHUHUE!!” He screeched, slamming his body down when the hands let up. 

“Good job, Jinnie~” Jisung rubbed down his stomach to comfort him. “You’re right. You did so well, okay?”

Hyunjin flushed pink at the praise, and the two boys switched positions again after a few minutes for a break. They wanted Hyunjin to feel as comfortable as possible in such a vulnerable situation. 

Hyunjin was sure the gloves Seungmin put on were a different material, he didn’t hear the rubber snap when they were secured around the vocalist’s wrists. 

He felt Jisung move to his waist, grabbing his ankles. Jinnie knew where they were going with that. 

“No! Not my feet, please!” He squealed when he felt lotion being spread along his bare foot.

“But, I want to…” Seungmin sighed, suddenly scrubbing his hands up and down the trapped lee’s soles, gloves lined with tiny silicon spikes, sending Hyunjin into a round of scream-filled laughter. 

“NAHAHAHAHA!! SEUNGMIN NOHOHOHO MAHAHAKE IHIT STAHAHAHAHAP!!” Hyunjin could barely get his words out through his hysterics. 

“It’ll stop when you guess the color, Hyune.” Seungmin laughed along with the dancer, who squirmed crazily. 

After a while, Hyunjin’s laugh got more silent. 

“Ahahaha…orahange…?” Hyunjin suddenly got quiet, prompting a panicked Jisung to check up on him, just to see the blindfold almost soaked through. 

“Hey, Minnie? I think he needs a break, he looks broken.” Jisung yanked the blindfold down, squeezing the older’s cheeks and watching as Hyune squinted at the light. 

“Oh my god, Jinnie I’m so sorry.” Seungmin climbed onto the bed, watching in horror when Hyunjin didn’t respond. “You okay? Hyung?” 

“Yeahah…Ihim fihine…tihihired…” Hyunjin breathed, slumping underneath the two. 

“You got it right, by the way.” Seungmin giggled. “Do you wanna stop?”

Jinnie hesitated before shaking his head, squeaking and slamming his hands over his face in embarrassment. 

“So cute~” Jisung pulled the damp blindfold over Hyune’s eyes again, noticing how the dancer didn’t make a move to stop him. 

Seungmin secured Hyunjin’s arms above his head, watching Jisung slip the maroon gloves over his hands. 

“You ready?~” Jisung didn’t wait for the older to respond, using his thumbs to massage down the center of Jinnie’s armpits. 

“AAAH!! AAGHH THAHAAT REHEHEALLY TIHIHICKLES!!” Hyunjin huffed out another bout of frustrated laughter, unable to move his arms at all. 

He slammed his head backwards into the mattress, screaming before breaking into more laughter, unable to take the torturous tickling on one of his worst spots. 

Jisung scraped his fingers up and down the dancer’s outstretched underarms, watching Jinnie howl with uncontrollable laughter as he fell apart from the quokka’s slick fingers. 

Hyunjin was trapped, forced to laugh until his eyes let out another wave of hysterical tears. 

“REHEHEHED!! RED GLOVES?!” Hyune screamed like a madman, twisting on the bed with a squeal. 

“Mmm…maybe.” Jisung laughed when Hyunjin let out another anguished shriek, pleading and babbling desperately. 

“WHAHAHAT?!” Hyune cackled until his throat turned raw, hoping for the tiniest bit of mercy. 

“PLEHEHEHEHEASE FUHUHUCK IHI CAHAHANT AHANYMORE!!” Hyunjin screamed, whimpery laughter pouring from his lips when Jusung switched to light tickles to give him somewhat of a chance. 

“Your laugh is so cute, Jinnie~” Seungmin cooed, “How could we resist?”

“Mhmhmm ihit reheheally tihihickles soho bahahadly…!!” Hyunjin pleaded, letting out another adorable giggle when Jisung squeezed the area under his armpits gently, the squishy skin fitting perfectly between his thumb and index finger. 

“Look at you, giggling so cutely for us…makes me wanna…” Jisung leaned down and  kissed the older gently on the cheek, cuteness aggression overpowering him as he rubbed circles into the spot he was previously torturing. 

“Hannihieee…~” Hyunjin whined, still immobile. 

“Can you guess the color, hyung? Or do you want to stop?” Jisung asked in the older’s ear. “Guess…” Hyunjin replied. 

Jisung decided to give Hyunjin a chance. “It’s a shade of red, okay, Jinnie?” 

Hyunjin nodded, and soon enough he was screaming again, Hannie’s fingers digging into the crevices of his ribs. 

“WAHAHHHAHAHHAIT!!” He squealed. “DAHAHAHARK?!” 

“Close…” Jisung let him know, leaning down to blow raspberries onto every rib, pulling laughter from Hyunjin before the older could even react. 

“MAHAHAHAROON?!” Hyunjin shrieked, letting out a gasp when the fingers and lips ceased their movements. 

“That’s right, Jinnie. Good job, love…” Seungmin untied the dancer’s legs and arms, buttoning his shirt back up again and scooping the exhausted older into his arms. 

Jisung slumped into Hyune’s body, flooding his body with warmth. Seungmin let Hyunjin drink a glass of water before tackling him in a warm hug. 

“Thahat was kinda fuhun…” Hyunjin whispered, making the other two coo at him and wrap their arms around him tighter. 

“Noted. But you should go to sleep, Jinnie.” Hannie kissed the older’s tears away before scratching at his scalp, lulling Jinnie to a deep sleep. 

“We have to do that again.” Seungmin giggled. 

“Agreed.” Jisung looked down at the peacefully sleeping boy beneath them. “Plus, I think he enjoyed it too.”

the pure AMOUNT of requests for hyunjin was overwhelming

I'm bored so I'm going to explain wenclair to you (badly)

So Wednesday is part of the Addams family, the members of this family are all very flamboyant and affectionate with each other, but they have a big taste for the macabre and a part of their love language is. committing violence against each othet.

Wednesday is famous for her dead-pan tone and for being a bit more cruel and sadistic than the rest of the family.

In the show she tries to murder a guy who was bullying her brother with piranhas and she gets expelled from her school. Her parents to have her complete her education send her to "nevermore academy" (if I had a nickel for everytime sapphic media had a school called nevermore academy I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice) which is a school where supernatural beings go to study. Her parents sent her there because they too studied at the school and they fell in love there.

Because of this Wednesday is firmly convinced she doesn't want to fall in love, and it is actually her worst fear.

NOW. In the school, her roommate is this girl, called Enid Sinclair. She is from California and she likes kpop and colorful stuff.

Knowing all of this the fandom assumed that she would be this bright, happy go lucky girl. Sunshine incarnate. We also had some screens of her convincing Wednesday to dress up as a cat and generally looking at her like she was going to be her best friend with consent or not.

BUT THEN. THEN WE DISCOVERED. that she is actually a bit bitchy and quite popular, but underneath it all she is actually insecure because she can't turn into a full werewolf, even if she is one.

The Amity Blightsm of it all ladies and gentlemen.

ALSO. from the early screenings people spoiled that Wednesday and Enid would have a heart-to-heart on their room's balcony.

Which. Let's not even comment on that.

There is also a serial killer plot I think??? But I didn't really pay attention to that-

anon I get that sapphics at Nevermore academy reference, you're not slick

Anyways. This is incredible. Thank you so much for taking the time to give me all this information.

Familial love languages that are slightly murderous??? Incredible. 10/10. Wednesday did nothing wrong. Her parents fell in LOVE at Nevermore academy?? I see it. I see the vision.

(oh my god I fucking nailed it on Enid's name)

DON'T YOU INVOKE AMITY'S NAME KNOWING DAMN WELL THAT'LL GET ME INVESTED. Sunshine character with snark is good. Sunshine character with snark and Tragic Insecurities having to do with Werewolfism?? Incredible. Goddammit.

Gonna keep an eye on this one. I'm starting to understand why the fandom is literally insane.
