#superM ships

[peppertaemint]

I'm the Taemin and Ten enthusiast lmfao I don't believe they're in love but I do think they had either an crush or an admiration crush. Taemin said he had a crush but I have no idea of the translations were iffy or not but the word crush was used when Taemin was talking about Ten. I just love their bond. They were all the time doing something and gushing about each other. I was watching one interview where Taemin includes Ten out of nowhere and it made me giggle. He was talking about all the 'Taes' at SM should collaborate but then he adds Ten who does not fall under the Tae territory 😂 It's been almost 3 yrs since SuperM were together so I am interested to see how all of their dynamics are. I feel the same way about Baek and Taeyong. While I don't think they're anywhere close to being in love or close to dating but I do think a little admiration crush exists. Remember when Taeyong put his and Baekhyun's SuperM name stickers on his laptop? Lmao Too cute 😂

TaeTaeTaeTae...Ten. Lol. That was so cute, and out of no where. And I'm looking forward to that unit happening btw. Welcome back, Anon! 😍

The moment you were talking about when he said crush is in this compilation. I'm not sure about the translation. It could just be bro-crush or could probably be taken another way. It reminds me of Jungkook using a similar phrase about RM, and a Korean friend at the time said it could be taken either way. I think that realistically, you're rarely going to have some gay confession on camera. Korea is just not there yet (not saying it's impossible) but I think that realistically it probably means platonically or thereabouts.

My guess is that as dancers, they were enamoured with one another. I get it because I think they're both easy to be enamoured with! It would be like meeting someone you understand to a degree - someone who has that similar passion, even more so than other "idols". So I totally agree with you, Anon!

Now Baekhyun and Taeyong... they're a bit more eyebrow raising just because Baekhyun is unbelievably mischievous and Taeyong has an awkward panic side. Like, Taemin is awkward and weird but he owns it and somehow it works 9/10 whereas Taeyong sort of has crash and burn awkward vibes at times (mostly re SuperM here as I can't properly judge him at the helm of NCT).

Baekhyun just has this way of looking at certain people like he's gonna eat them up. Lol. Idk he's wild. I hope when SuperM comes back he goes full throttle.

It would be really cool if like when Gandhi returns in season four and it's revealed that Abe has a secret crush on Gandhi that he's been putting on the sideline for years and just now can't push it to the sideline anymore(cause that's totally gonna happen cause I'm the creator's). And maybe when Frida, Cleo, and Abe are hanging out and Gandhi just peeps in, and Abe tries to act normal (just like the old days) but it shows. Something makes Gandhi leave and Frida teases Abe just like how he did when Abe realized Frida liked Cleo. And the cherry on top is when Abe tries to hush Frida she says "Hey, you did the same thing to me when you figured out I liked Cleo so I have every right to do the same thing to you".

What your K-pop fandom says about you!

BTS - You’re either under the age of 18 or this is the first ever group you got into.

TXT - You only got into them because BTS mentioned them.

BLACKPINK - You’re either under the age of 21 or you definitely ship Lizkook as a joke.

TWICE - You’re either male or a lesbian/bisexual woman that makes jokes about Dahyun literally hooking up with the other members.

Monsta X - This group either helped you to come out or you’re just whipped for Wonho like the rest of us.

Seventeen - You’re sick and tired of telling new fans why there are thirteen members instead of seventeen.

SHINee - You’re either over the age of 25, a parent, or thinking about having children in the future when the time is right. Or you’re probably a minor who is whipped for Taemin!

Stray Kids - You’re under 25, single and happy with your life. Also, you (will) have a mind of a teenager in your 20s and may possibly follow through in your 30s.

NCT - You have more than one bias. Ain’t no way you have only one with this many people in one group-

The Boyz - You often wonder what could be their chatroom name could be called due to their group name.

Loona - I’m not going to be mean with this one — You’re probably a kind hearted person who loves dresses and skirts because they’re cute and that’s it. Probably even shop for yourself or someone you love and is VERY good at designing outfits.

Red Velvet - J-just say it… they’re hot, isn’t it? Also you girls probably only like them because of that meme of Taemin getting beaten up by Seulgi and Wendy.

Girls’ Generation/SNSD - You’re DEFINITELY a guy that faps off to them or a girl that loves their concepts and probably feels nostalgic even hearing about them.

Super Junior/SUJU - You have daddy issues.

EXO - You’re probably between the ages of 16-30 and you also have daddy issues. Also if your biases are Kai, Baekhyun, Suho, Lay, or Chen, you’re DEFINITELY an adult. If you guys were old enough, you had also DEFINITELY had simped for Lu Han and had played Lu with the speakers on loud because you was an idiot who thought your parents weren’t home. Also yes, I have friends.

BIGBANG - Listening to them is just nostalgic to you just- ALL THE SONGS ARE SO- UGHHHHHH THERE’S NO WAY YOU HAVEN’T HEARD ANY OF THEIR SONGS IF YOU HAD BEEN A FAN AROUND 2010-2014

DAY6 - IF THIS IS YOUR GROUP, THEN YOU’RE PROBABLY BRAGGING THAT WE STARTED THE KOREAN ROCK BAND TREND FIRST NOT XDINARY HEROES OR TXT (also we’re better — kidding I love the others too)

2NE1 - Nah, you know this is one of the best and most nostalgic group on the list I don’t care if people hate it I love it and that’s all matters-

Aespa - You probably stanned this group because either because they give the same vibe as BLACKPINK or because you just like their songs.

Shinhwa - You’re probably wondering “when will they disband” in the most non toxic and disrespectful manner possible. Also you’re probably like over the age of 25 if you stanned them for more than a decade.

P1Harmony - You probably stanned them just for Keeho, or something related to him. I mean, who doesn’t love this guy?

TVXQ/DBSK - DAMN- YOU LIKE THIS GROUP? Well you must definitely living your best life and I do hope that both sides of your pillow is cold. Share your pride with your fandom please — I’m so proud of you honey. Especially if you’re under the age of 18, ily.

ITZY - You’re definitely under 18, and probably a girl group fan. You have a bestie that is a Loona stan and probably wants to have a pink aesthetic for your room.

Dreamcatcher - Definitely a real feminist and cares for other male survivors as well as the female ones. Also seggsy af-

SuperM - Your bias is definitely Taemin and your bias wreckers HAS to be either Baekhyun, Kai or Ten. Also you have daddy issues.

TREASURE - You dumbasses are probably going to ask me “aM i A mEmBeR oF tReAsUrE” just because one of the members has the same name and (coincidentally) is Japanese.

IKON - You’re sick and tired of 8 year old boys dancing and singing “Love Scenario” and saying that it comes from Fortnite and not from the K-pop group itself.

Block B - You’re sick and tired of people making fun of your fandom name… J-just stop it… that’s not it…

Mamamoo - Where did y’all go? They were only known for that one song and that’s it. They seemed like a cool group to get into, probably still making nice music. I’d have to listen to them eventually.

OH MY GIRL - Bet you loved the dolphin cult era, right? The only time people can remember that your fandom exists. Anywho, you probably spam in every comment section that annoying ass “DA 🐬 DA 🐬 DA 🐬” song on Tiktok, YouTube, Instagram- EVERYWHERE-

Let me know if I missed anyone out!

Anon as someone who works I agree most times ppl who work with you are just colleagues but you do build friendships on the way too. I've had colleagues help me financially (giving me loans when I needed it) to help me find someone to take over my responsibilities for 2 months when I needed holidays the most a few years back. There are a few ppl I would never be alone with but Ive also built friendships that have lasted me to this day even if they left the place I work at.

Most SM idols are very close, they all meet outside work and even years after they worked together unlike others. SES and also girls generation still meet (other than Jessica though). Same with tvxq we have pics of yunho and jaejoong chatting and sitting with eo parents and family. 127 are a male group so believe me when they're angry at someone they fight and resolve it, unlike women who have been programmed to be competitive with other women and so never even get along well with their sisters. Women compete for attention, snsd talked about this very well in the beginning of their career.

As for 127 you could clearly see the cracks in the band or the groups very clearly a few years back. It's still there but it has become alot better since 2022... Either they all talked out what each members wants to do or members have accepted that changes will be happening.

As for taeyong and doyoung, doyoung built this friendship. Doyoung used to get irritated with tae and even talked to his manager about it but ultimately they learned to live and become very good friends through it. Dotae are so similar to my fav ship from shinee minkey, to this day they keep arguing and fighting but they also do everything together.

We build most of our relationships both platonic and romantic and dotae is very much built on mutual respect and love so it's not fake at all, Doyoung smiles fake but never cries fake, he hates being emotional so why would he cry for the fans.

Dowoo, johndo, johnwoo even johnjae are very much collgues... Just look at BTS videos and who are usually sitting together... But they're good enough colleagues to be good work friends

Yes sometimes over the top ships are fake, like markhyuck but markhyuck are very close and depend emotionally and spiritually for strength to continue with their work in 2 bands. Mark kept haechan active last year but ultimately I've a feeling 127 hyungs asked haechan to just take a break so he sat out of the tour. Same with ppl not realising that haechan is very close to jisung and jeno... He closest to them along with renjun

Random but renjun is the very social and I as a NCT fan never realised it, the boy has friends who are 10 or more years older than him in SM. He's making good relationships as he gets older. From what I've seen his friendships are close enough for him to make fun of a hyung who is 9 years older to him

Also as groups grow older most groups stop selling we're family, shinee and 127 never sold the idea of good family or siblings. They are very open about being colleagues who got together but both these bands have very strong bonds... Super junior always talk about them only doing stuff for the camera but their families go on vacations together. The Siblings of the members are on friendly terms and so are the parents... The boys even live together still (at least eunhyuk and kyuhyun lived together in a flat a few years back)

As for 127 crying, army changes alot of things... Eunhyuk was the most funny member and the member with the most work but after army he hasn't found a permanent gig that's popular. Same with suju being limited to their own fandom. Shinee got a boost of new fans thanks to superm but most have left or prefer being taeminnie fans

Taeyong isn't a singer, he is the visual and the face of 127. He might be worried that fans would be bored and leave the fandom. It's tough waiting for 3 or 4 years for the band to be back together

It took shinee almost 4 years and believe me it was tough although we got so many solo albums in between this army period but the band together is more fun and the reason most ppl are in the fandom.

I get why taeyong cried and I get why doyoung supported him... Also you have to realise not everyone can cope with army. Taemin had to leave in the middle of his service coz of his mental health deteriorating too much. He did his last year as a public service person, it must be tough thinking of the future where you're expected to follow rules and regulations harsher than even idol industry. Btw fans have left fandoms in the army period alot of times... Even if youre in the fandom sometimes you stop following everything and not know half the fandom jokes or fights (me with shinee fandom atm)

I prefer to buy 127 albums instead of shinee ones now, I still don't have physical copies of key solos, And he's my ultimate fav K-pop singer

P.S. as a teacher I can tell you anon that all work places are fake, I also smile and small talk with ppl I won't trust.

Idol industry is normal life but on steroids, all these things happen in real life too, but most times you don't realise it until you're in the job.

A workplace is a place to meet people. Whether those people become friends or not depends on your personal compatibility and events that help you to know each other better. Like when I work in the field I live in the same room with others, we see each other in underwear, cook for each other and go into the night to spend hours in a dark forest. In such conditions people with suitable characters naturally become close quickly (and the opposite happens with difficult people as there is no room to breath, no personal space really). On the other hand, working at a cafe or a store offers very little to help bonding. Everyone is tired, pissed at managers and hate their job.

The anon's reasoning is correct for many idol groups, it doesn't mean it applies to each one of them. Also, I myself think that families are often less close than good friends, that they are kept together by blood, tradition and responsibilities. Thus I find comparing a band to a family very fitting actually. As one can't choose relatives, one can't choose bandmates (in most cases, sometimes older A-list trainees invite their friends into the agency and then debut together).

When did you become an Eri? 😻

okay, here we go....

it was around the beginning of 2022. my history with kpop started in the middle of 2021, with stray kids (although i'm not a stay). as i got deeper and deeper into it, i started to listen to a few other groups and stuff, until one day i heard "mmmh" with my sister and i was like "hold on, i know this guy???".

and i did know him, because back in 2014 when i was in high school (omg i'm getting old) i was a huuuuge directioner. i became friends with this girl from my school because she knew what "shipping" meant, back when only a few people did - and it was because she was an elf/eri herself. we got really close, and while i would talk to her about one direction, she would talk to me about super junior/exo. i remember her talking about chanbaek the most, but as i wasn't even the tiniest bit interested in kpop back then, i just supported her in her interests and was happy to hear her talk about stuff i didn't truly understand. i changed schools, we lost contact, and eventually, i forgot about exo.

BUT THEN, when i watched "mmmh" and had the feeling i knew jongin, i was right. my sister told me "yeah, he's from exo i guess" and my mind was like 🤯🤯🤯. i fell in love with jongin - and i tend to joke that it only took me about 8 years to do so -, then superm (in which baekhyun called my attention but i swear i was trying not to fall for him). eventually, i started to listen more and more of exo, watch their stuff... by the month of july (my birthday), i was already buying photocards and albuns, i even dressed myself as jongin for my birthday party 😭 i remember, in august 4th, my sister told me "hey, happy eri day" and i tried to tell her i wasn't an eri but of course, she didn't buy it lol

so yeah, i really think it was meant to be, my relationship with exo. i fell in love so hard with them, and in all this meantime, so many things happened. i was fired from my previous job, and luckily i was working two jobs at that time, but then i got sick and had to leave the other one too. my family was driving me insane, so i had to spend almost two weeks at my best friend's house to heal from everything. i got another job, but i watched as my grandma got sick, and watched what that did to my dad. this year too, i lost someone, the person i loved the most in this entire world - but through everything, exo was here with me. i love them. i truly love them.

🔭 The Visions: The Overall Lore Story (as of Miracle)

A special theory post about WayV’s overall lore journey as of Miracle before their next comeback, Phantom. This post is to help me and those who are interested in the WayV portion of the NCT lore in understanding it :)

(!) This is a theory as it is not fully confirmed by SM entertainment nor the members or NCT.

I’m making a special post for this before their comeback because I FINALLy understand what really happened in their lore... at least from the information that I have. I know I am LATE to the party but bear with me because I had a lot of confusion before 😭 Summarizing from a live(?) they had during Kick Back promotion, combining it with my speculation and my past post that talks about Kick Back and their Unit Songs,

(!) long and wordy post ahead

Regular

Not yet story, just an introduction.

Dream Launch

From what I understand, I believe DL happened first then TO. We were introduced that WayV are supposednto be astrophysics students or space enthusiasts living together in Reality. We were also hinted a wormhole which was used in NCT2020 until 2021. The main plot of the MV, they were given a Vision from a Dream; they will be using a wormhole to go to the Reality, symbolized by the ladder they used to go upwards. They are still inside a Dream here but was given the idea to go to Reality, which was why they were looking out to Earth from an unknown location. We also have that Dream Launch Plan video series that reveals the dreams they want to come true.

Take Off

We can see that planes are the main focus of WayV’s story. Although there are some motorcyles, planes are more consistently used. Essentially, they are taking off to a new place, the Desert Dreamscape after given that vision from DL. There are some member role introduction from the WayV Character Analysis, it is pretty clear from there(?) but only Ten’s role is questionable.

Moonwalk

Kun described this MV like “landing in a new planet”, they were just changing locations to this desert. This is the same desert that NCT 127 were in in Highway to Heaven and I believe they were already there.

There were some buildings, possibly built by 127. Moonwalk’s alternate title is 天选之城, which roughly translates to ‘The Chosen City’, very fitting because this place is very vital for all Neos and where they work around in the dream world. One scene where Ten was inside a space ship, all of them were there but only he was highlighted for the dance. That’s why after it fell into the desert, everyone walked as a group. Then they explored the place which explains why everyone are in different places. Plus everything are in odd places (like the floating car) because this is in a dream. In the end of the MV, all members stopped a time using their logo... now this is still a mystery because no member mentioned this BUT there were meteorites falling in the beginning and the sky was dark then after the time was stopped, the sky became clear... perhaps they were stopping natural disasters from destroying the place? PLUS

This is the sea of Ether, the medium of connection.

Love Talk

... According to YangYang they were creating culture and civilizations. Well, the lyrics is somewhat about people connecting so they are empathizing?? I’m just gonna take his words for that.

Turn Back Time

YangYang said something happened that made them locked up, but he wasn’t allowed to tell what. One thing that is clear is they were very firm to turn back time, like as if they made a mistake and need to undo it. In some of their photoshoots too, it was as if they were imprisoned and was put into different punishments in the MV(?). Another thought, they could possibly be captured? But as well know, Ten rescued them. Lastly, of course we saw that V-shaped rooftop and the hollow city, I don’t think this is the desert one? I had a speculation that it is related to SuperM though this needs to be in a separate post for this but right now my focus is on their comeback so lets move on.

Kick Back

This happened after NCT2020 and they were in the middle of going through the wormhole, but regardless each units have their own stories too. I have explained it thoroughly that they found Kosmo in this MV in another post (🔭 The Visions: Kick Back, Low Low, and Kosmo). But IGNORE the parts where I was confused with Kwangya.

According to YangYang, from a Weibo post during Low Low era, he (along with other WayV) has reached that Kosmo but other units hasn’t. But my confusion; I’m not sure whether Kosmo is just Reality or another ‘secret place’. They have specifically said ‘secret country’ and the Reality shouldn’t be secret... though after looking at that upside down desert room in the MV again I was somewhat puzzled.

Unit Songs

I don’t think I need to talk about each one of them in detail. Low Low is clearly about Ten and YangYang going to Kosmo by a plane. We have the chip thing that they input into their phones but we’ll see that in future releases(?) Kun and Xiaojun were exploring a portion of the dreamscape place that resembles a forest. They were by the beach and as we all know the sea supposed to represent Ether, symbolizing that they are connecting with the other Neos. By the end of the MV, they ran into a light (?) which could be interpreted as a portal to go to ‘Kosmo’.

Miracle

Miracle is closely more about NCT2021 and I have talked about it in another post though I think I have new ideas now. Ten was being sus and I have talked about it in Ten’s Birthday post. They didn’t talk about the secret place/Kosmo again though we see many waves as the background which again represents Ether. Ether isn’t water but it resembles it, essentially it can form waves since it is often said as ‘the sea of Ether’. They are connecting with the other units. Now this raise my suspicion again if Kosmo really is another place or Reality. In NCT2021 they went through a wormhole to get to Reality as NCT as a whole, when YangYang said WayV has reached Kosmo was during Low Low. We haven’t seen more updates on this... especially since the unit hasn’t got a comeback until this December.

With that,

IF this next comeback (Phantom) doesn’t talk about the secret place again... I can safely assume that Kosmo could be Reality. To add to my confusion, we have never gotten a clear and official definition of Kosmo itself other than it being mentioned in 90s Love; many people just believe that it is a city/place that is advanced and simply better. I was somewhat sure of what it is before but now, after looking back at it, I have a lot of questions. But if they brought it up again, then we’ll definitely get another continuation to their Kosmo mission. Since WayV is the Vision of the Neos, it makes sense that they are ahead of the others. But keep in mind my ideas will change depending on the new info I get so there is definitely an update to this theory.

I think that is all and the conclusion to his will soon come when Phantom is released :)

[peppertaemint]

What do you mean by cursed content? The thought all of SuperM's content was great. You didn't like it?

Hi Anon!

Ah, how I'm using "cursed" with SuperM doesn't mean that a) their content or music is bad or b) I didn't like it. I find some of it unintentionally hilarious and weird (or fully intentionally, I can't quite figure that out). It's sort of like hair metal, or as my friend pointed out, the weird and wild genre of Eurobeat. Like, I've been to a Van Halen show. I can fuck with that energy, but it doesn't mean I can take it completely seriously. SuperM has this energy, and the transmutation of that energy results in cursed content at times (all the time? idk).

This is truly one of the most cursed things I've ever witnessed.

And so is this. But I thought that was why we liked it? We're all complicit here.

Yet, I might be one of the few people who unironically and genuinely loves this.

I don't know. We all have different frames of reference. SuperM's hair metal, cock-rockish bravado coupled with almost-camp masc concepts are outlandish and wild to me, but I'm not saying they're bad or that the content they've made (As We Wish, MTopia etc) is not entertaining; it absolutely is. I think their reality content that focuses on personality trumps the hair metal vibes and creates more interest, which is an age-old social media strategy at this point but also SM borrowing something from Hybe, which makes a change.

I think SM working a little more on the personality side is okay as long as they still have a strong focus on music and artistry. Part of the reason this works for SuperM is that these artists were gathered up from successful groups and indeed had already proven themselves as top talent. They aren't coming to us presenting personality first, or personality in lieu of other things. And, one reason I like watching SuperM reality and variety stuff is the dynamic between the members (the personalities!) because it's a different group dynamic than usual. You've got Kai and Taemin trying to be good hyungs and pretending they're not BFFs because this is "work" (lol), and then you've got Baek and Kai who never pretend not to be sick of each other. Throw in Taemin making googly eyes at Lucas because he looks like Minho (lol), Mark and Taeyong enjoying their baby status (TaeBaek... am I right?! top SuperM ship), and Ten being a wild card at all times, and it's a delightful recipe for hijinks.

[forcebookish]

thanks for the tag, @retiredficwriter!!

Make a poll with 5 of your favorite rarepairs/crackships. See which one is everyone's favorite!

PROPAGANDA UNDER THE CUT!

obviously, my favorite is kaibaek. i feel like i don't ship a lot of rarepairs so these were kind of hard to come up with after kaibaek and widowana fjdsljldg i might have forgotten a more obvious one, sorry!

tagging: @ariadnekurosaki @takeanumbrella @monwillica @sssneakiest and idk if it's my internet connection but tumblr isn't letting me tag anything else. if you wanna do it, do it and tag me! i wanna see your rarepairs :D

KAIBAEK

my exo otp and one of my ultimate OTPs. they had a bit of a rocky start and had a hard time getting close pre-debut, but once they did they now have a sincere trust for each other. they're caring and protective of one another: jongin (kai) running to baekhyun when he was injured, comforting each other when they cry (baekhyun following after jongin and holding his hand; jongin gently tugging at his ear), baekhyun leading jongin through the airport when he was sick, jongin drinking bitter juice for him in a batsu game (the reason i started shipping them), and so on. they've had to deal with a lot of similar situations wrt hate from fans (added to the group late, "overly" featured, dating scandals, etc.), as well as challenges with simply being in exo, superm, and sm in general. they admire each other, compliment and complement each other, and aspire to be as accomplished as each other; they support each other's solo careers and are always excited for each other. easily my favorite thing about them is why they're a rare pair in the first place, despite being in two groups together: their interactions, even the more affectionate ones, are rarely played up for fanservice. it's often little, private moments where they lean on each other or are affectionate in some other way. like THIS:

it's just so subtle and intimate? it's for no one but them. most of these kind of moments like the ones i've mentioned and others, can only be found on fancams! also they're really playful!!!!! i love them!!

WIDOWANA

my overwatch otp. friends (or lovers if you're delulu like me) to enemies to attempted killers. after thinking amélie (widowmaker) dead for a year, ana snipes her helmet on the battlefield, revealing who widowmaker actually is. once ana realizes it's her friend, she can't pull the trigger. ana, who never hesitates, hesitates for the first time, and widowmaker shoots her cybernetic eye out. they have an adversarial and competitive relationship now that they're both snipers on opposite ends of the war, trading barbs and pity for the other's situation. as the top two deadliest snipers in the world, they're kind of obsessed with one another and specifically outdoing each other. it provides a lot of tension and potential angst, especially of the "i know you're in there somewhere, come back to me" variety.

ISHINEMU

so rare even i don't talk about them (i tend to ship ishihime more, although even that is third after tatsuhime and ulquihime). SO much wasted potential! both of them have been wronged so acutely by mayuri and i think there are a lot of daddy issues to explore between the two of them. plus, uryuu seems to be literally the only person in the series who sees nemu as a person. shame their relationship, and mayuri medically torturing uryuu's grandfather AND the way he abuses nemu, was played for laughs later on lol good one, kubo :/

SHONEJING

jing is my name for him, he's a fusion of "force" who showed up in only boo! and that one guy in you fight, and i love (i'd use the nickname of what character from the novel he's supposed to be, but i couldn't find it lol). i have a fic in mind i wanna write for them and it would have been another entry into the hurt/comfort bingo, but it accidentally ended up too long. the headcanon is that jing is deeply closeted and shone is addicted to heartbreak.

TYLOKKA

idk i just like them. i think ty lee's crush on him is cute.

with a couple exceptions, i tend not to care about popular enemies to lovers ships but when it comes to rarepairs, apparently they're my preference? 🤔

[kikisfuneralservice]

omg hiiiii! do you write for superm? if not then that's fine. my favourite ships has always been jongtae lol

hi there! yes, i will write for superm, but i prefer not to write romantic ships or smut! i don���t know all the superm boys quite as i well with shinee, but i will definitely write a oneshot of your choice; and with multiple members if you’d like!

lsm's whole interview-based announcement of a superm comeback in early 2023 just has me reeling

like you're really just gonna thread the needle for hyung-line enlistements and do ONE comeback (probably still w/o lucas bc he's nowhere to be found on wayv stuff) and then ship kai off to enlistment ??

like what IS the point ?? are you gonna make them tour w/o him?

or are we just gonna drop a single and then bounce 🥴
