#on twitter i have blocked literally everything but yk pairing

[tankun]

You probably get this question alot but is there any other ship that you like or could consider? I'm curious because I started out only reading Yoonmin fics, but with my preference for bottom yoongi, that quickly became a dry desert..So I branched out and started reading ALOT of yoonkook ones! (That's how I found you

Hello, Anon! I do get asked a lot about other pairings I might be into and so on and so forth, but I think I’ll take this chance to tell all of you my shipping experience completely :}

When I first got into BTS, the very first pairing I stumbled into was JiHope. This includes fics! But as I read fics for JiHope they were not my cup of tea. I preferred Bottom!Hope and Top!Jimin, but that well was extremely shallow. I eventually tried to write my own JiHope fic (You can still find it! It’s called Colors on my Ao3 for anyone who is interested~) but eventually my tastes turned to YoonKook.

While JiHope was my first pairing on sight, like through pictures and random clips of the boys interacting, I fell into YoonKook by watching BTS shows. I fell in love with their subtle interactions in shows like AHL and Rookie King (my first BTS shows!) and decided to give them a try.

I read fics for them, but quickly disliked the characterization of Yoongi and Jungkook in almost all of them. At the time I saw them as switch, but the fics were all top!Yoongi and were just really poor characterization wise.. then I stumbled across my first bottom!Yoongi fic. The characterization was much different, with Yoongi not being a hardened badass and instead soft and unable to express his feelings well, and Jungkook wasn’t a crying mess but instead soft and unsure of how to even begin a relationship with Yoongi. I was in love with this. 

I quickly went through reading every bottom!Yoongi fic I could find, learning real quick that in those fics both boys were much softer and easier to read about. I dumped top!Yoongi fics in a heart beat.

However, there wasn’t many to come by at the time. I was upset about this and I became curious on the situation in other pairings. I checked Hobi and Yoongi first. In JiHope, Hobi was always top, and in YoonKook, Yoongi was always top, So they had to have nothing but switch fics in their pairing right? All I found however were top!Hobi fics and I got upset and left that quickly xD Also I didn’t ship them like that and wasn’t really interested. I don’t remember my reactions to the other pairings, but I do remember being in the Jin/Yoongi tag and getting excited when I saw a omega Yoongi and Alpha Jin tagged fic. 

I remember saying to myself “Holy shit not only is is gonna be bottom Yoongi, but it’s omega Yoongi! I’ve never seen that!!” So I clicked on it just to see omega Yoongi. However Yoongi was most definitely a top in that fic and I was upset xD I also remember checking the other pairings for their relationship with Jungkook and getting upset again Lmao~ Mainly because it was lot of bottom!Kook, but in the Jimin/Kook tag it was mainly top!Kook and that upset me because it was bottom!Jimin because of my experiences in JiHope, but it didn’t matter because I didn’t ship these two at all anyway. I just can’t be pleased xD

But even after all of that, I still had no interest in the other pairings. 

For instance, I started reading threesome fics if it promised bottom!Yoongi and top!Jungkook, but I hated it the entire time I read them. I hated that the third person was there, and I had read threesome fics of YoonKook with each member. None of them I liked. The writing would be fantastic, the smut delicious, and I would read it with a frown because it was Yoongi or Jungkook giving attention to someone other than each other.

I used to rec threesome fics, but recently took down that page because I really didn’t like the fics in there :{ If I couldn’t read it a second time, why would I rec it xD?

So in conclusion, I really do wish I could enjoy other pairing fics. 

I see all the people I love talking to enjoying other pairings that involve mainly bottom!Yoongi, but I just can’t get into it. I don’t like pairing Yoongi or Jungkook with anyone but each other romantically, so it’s what I’m stuck with til the fandom finally finds the straw that kicks me out of here xD

(I do want to say, this doesn’t mean I hate those other pairings in general! Everyone is free to ship what they want and enjoy what they want! I just can’t find enjoyment in it and stick to what does make me happy. So please don’t think this is me trying to spout YK master pairing or something. All pairings are good and BTS all love each other! I just happen to only like one pairing romantically is all.)
