Link Click Musical Masterlist 🔍🌟

#音乐剧时光代理人# <- 'Time Agents Musical' main tag, pictures tab - shows majority of stage pictures in chronological order, updates from official Encore Musicals show up here too.

Tips: 1) Visit the OP's profiles! They usually post more than the one photo you can see in a thumbnail. And it's easier to browse & save pics through the profile.

2) Even though you can scroll the pics tab indefinitely, without a weibo account you won't be able to easily access older posts, as they'll get buried under the user's newer posts (there's a roundabout way mentioned in my guide). So I recommend to visit this tag frequently, if you wanna be sure nothing is hidden away 🔍 Daily or once in a 2-3 days will be enough imo, it's not very crowded tag ^^

3) ⬆You can also check videos in this tag, the orange tab has 10 most recent clips from the musical (other one has the most popular ones).

接着奏乐接着舞Musicals (Encore Musicals) <- official profile of a theatre that runs LC stage, they post the cast schedules, photos/behind the scenes clips, whenever new actor debuts, there's a special guests or a cast member has a birthday. They also report when an actor goes on a health break. Tip: all LC actors can be found in the pinned post (you'd need OCR 'image-text' tool to copy their names from pics though)

Encore Musicals Bilibili account <- theatre's official profile on a major cn video-sharing platform (more bts clips)

动画师lan <- bonus link to studio LAN profile, that's where they post the mysterious animation frames~

校医来啦 <- profile of a chief producer of LC Musical, Chen Xiaoyi

兮兮兮辞_ <- profile of an executive producer of LC musical

Metablue赛博蓝 <- bilibili of a music producer, she did videos about working on LC musical songs

A few actors for supporting cast don't have a tag bc they seem to be newbie actors and/or have very small online presence

Tips: 1) Without a weibo account you can scroll through the actor's tag only up to abt 45 most recent posts. The actors perform in multiple plays (duh) so non-LC photos will show up too.

2) Imo the most optimal method, so the limits won't stop you is: go to the main 'LC musical' tag and see what's new. Check schedule for the cast lineup in a recent performance. Go to the actors' tags to see what's new.

3) Sometimes there are 2 performances on a same day, with different actors. So don't be surprised if you find mixed lineups under one date.

4) Mostly QL and Lin Zhen's actresses post behind the scenes photos on their personal profiles. Don't bother looking up the guys accounts, unless it's a holiday or their b-day >< From what I remember, only Wu Yihan posts abt his cat. Zhang Jiahao and Zhou Bobo post selfies sometimes. Ji Xiaokun posts his own photography (he's good!).

5) Google translate, however broken, is enough to translate the captions, so use it for context✨Ppl sometimes give their reviews titled 'repos' from the stage they've seen 🙏

6) You'll find more musical related clips under the actor's tag, than in 'LC musical' main tag. It's usually in an actor's fancam, but not always. Useful when you like an actor or there was a particular moment you want to see from a different angle🌟👌

7) The clips tab (one in the middle) under the actor's tag has no time limited access. You can browse and watch the videos without issues!

______________________________________________________

I'll try to add missing tags when the actors debut 💪 And if you find any mistakes or a broken links, please let me know 🙏 For those who read it all, here's a present ;>

光时 <- bonus Shiguang ship tag, they're just like us fr (but way more horny on main), there's lots of art, from cute fluff to nsfw djs >>

Hello you mrs. honey nut cheerio lady robin hood who likes christmas but is allergic to the pine tree lefty eyebag 😌

I fell asleep but then woke up, saw your answers and fell back asleep 😅 I was going to respond but I couldn't keep my eyes open and I would have probably typed some gibberish.

Hope you slept well. Doing anything fun today? Or just finishing up little stuff before you guys leave for the airport?

So when you do that, does it ever creep your customers out when you guess their order correctly? Also, the thing about guessing the voices from animation or movies, that's amazing. I could never even guess or be close to who it is if I did guess.

I'm the same way with names and numbers. I try to guess the name and it's always far off 😅 then numbers always get jumbled.

Ah I see. What's the most words you have written in just an hour? Also, have you ever finished writing a fic then reread it after and scrap the whole thing?

I'm the same way with reading fics with a lot of kinks. I think I just read the fic, but then once I see something disturbing to me, I stop. I try to push myself to see if I can handle reading it, but then it actually weirds me out so I can't continue 😅

I think my answer is the same as yours. Especially the bdsm with pain, or if it has blood and other bodily functions..no no for me. And is pet play like beastiality? Sorry I don't think I know that.

I did not expect the naenae song 🤣 do you do the dance too?? Hahaha

For me:

1. Dynamite by BTS

2. Secret Love Song by Little Mix

3. Any country songs lol

Name 3 songs that remind you of your crush.

- CuriousGeorge

Hello hello youngins righty eyebag! 😅

I wanna see what kind of giberish u type if u reply mr when u r sleepy.lol.

How r u? N how was ur day? R u feeling better emotionally?

I didnt sleep well last night. Stayed up until like past 2.am. i got a little panic attack becausr i overthought if i forget something or if i pack too much.

We got to the hotel around 4pm. N im just chillin now.

The hotel is nice.. was thinking to sleep early tonight because we gotta wake up at 4am to go to the airport but the room has a separated room like a living room with desk n chair with tv also, so it is so tempting to stay up late n write. 😅 but i think i should sleep early..but im not sure.lol.

Haha no. They actually love it.. but i did kinda shocked one customer though because i started the talk in a wrong way but then she laughed about it. It was when i was in new orleans walk at night n i was kinda drunk. N i recognize too. N my drunk ass talked to her n say "excuse me, u live in ...(city name) right?" 😅

N her drunk face was like "wtf" n she said yeah.. n i was like "oh no dont worry, im sorry..i work at (sushi restaurant name) n i serve ur table pretty often." Then i start mention her regular orders n then she recognize me.🤣🤣🤣 n she laughed. Then we walked the bourbon street together drunk. 🤣

About recognize actors / actress voice in animation movie, sometimes i got it right sometimes i dont.😅🤣

Yeah numbers n names r hard to remember.

I never pay attention how much i write in an hour. Mostly 1 fic i wrote at least between 4-6K words but the most in one fic i think it's like 12K but i end up splitting them to few parts. If The Monsters Within a whole one fic it will be the longest i hv written because over 18K words n still counting. 😊

Yeah i have done that, but not scraping the wholr thing though, i scrapped almost half of it.. one time i wrote quite a lot, ideas flowed n stuff..i wrote it on google doc n it was on offline mode because i was on a flight. But when i finally connect it to internet, the part that wrote was not saved n gone.. i wanted to cry. I think it was the dark wanda fic "I Love You Too Much" i dont know if u have read that but yeah i had to write all over again.

Haha yeah im like that too. It was an age play fic, i tried to be open minded about it but i stopped in the middle because i couldnt read it.

Petplay is a kink where one of them act like a pet such as puppy,or kitten or bunny. I dont mind reading light pet play but not too much. Im not good at explaining this but i guess u can google it. 😊

Haha yeah sometimes i do the nae nae song but only when im drunk. 😅 im not a good dancer n too shy for that. But when im drunk im a different person.😅🤣

Ah okay.. i will check those songs.. u dont like country song? I think pop country r very nice to listen to, for me. 😊

Song that reminds me of H? Hmm...

1. Gorgeous by Ash (the one that inspired me smut idea with Natasha. 😊

2. Con La Brisa by Foudeqush

3. Gooey Rework by Glass Animals. 😁

What about u?

Also i think u asked something about pt. 4. I dont remember if i have answered it or not. Can u remind me again? Im too lazy to scroll to my answers right now. Sorry. 😁😆

Next question?

Cheerio! (Not the cereal one)

survey by caitlinen

Clothes & body.

What color is your shirt? The one I’m currently wearing has some white, red, and black on it.

What length is your hair? Too long than how I want it to be; I just haven’t had the time to have it trimmed + Covid’s bad again so I can’t even go out of the house anymore. Anyway it’s already down to my boobs but I really want to have it cut all the way up to my neck again.

Do you have any broken bones currently? Nope, never happened.

Have you ever broken a bone? See above.

What color are your favorite pair of shoes? White, as are all my favorite pairs to wear.

What style are your favorite pair of pants? Denim, mom jeans.

Do you like shorts or jeans more? It’s definitely a lot comfier to wear shorts, but it’s frequently hard to find one that suits my style so I don’t own a lot of them.

Do your socks match more than not? I never wear socks anymore lol.

Do you like wearing hats? I would probably enjoy wearing them if I invested in them, but for the most part there’s a bunch of other stuff I’d rather spend my money on.

List the songs that come up on your iPod/mp3 shuffle: I’ll just put my Spotify on shuffle based on the last song I listened to:

1. Grow Up - Paramore

2. Simmer - Hayley Williams

3. Escape Route - Paramore

4. Pool - Paramore

5. Ain’t It Fun - Paramore (I guess I had my angry!Paramore playlist on last...I could swear I was recently playing BTS though, lmao. Oh well)

6. I’m Not Angry Anymore - Paramore

7. Playing God - Paramore

8. Moving On - Paramore

9. Forgiveness - Paramore

10. Rose-Colored Boy - Paramore

Favorite movie by genre:

Comedy: Not a big comedy buff but I do have a soft spot for White Chicks, hahaha. The jokes have so far never failed to make me laugh.

War: Gone With the Wind.

Horror: I’ll have to go with The Shining or the original Carrie for this. I can’t even tell you the last time I was able to watch The Shining all the way through; I always get disturbed enough to turn it off at a certain point. That alone makes it great for me.

Romance: If we’re talking full-on romance and not romcom, probably The Vow. That and Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

Rom-Com: The Proposal, Love Actually, Roman Holiday, Funny Face, and Two for the Road.

Animated: Toy Story.

Drama: Revolutionary Road, without a doubt. Room and The Reader are great as well.

Foreign: I mean...all English-language movies are foreign to me lmao so I guess I’ll go with my all-time favorite? Two for the Road.

Suspense: Eh, not really a fan. I guess I’ll go with Gone Girl.

Musical: Even more so not a fan, but I do love My Fair Lady. I remember being super excited to view La La Land thinking it would just have some songs squished in between scenes, so I was disappointed when the first scene was literally a song number.

Documentary: Jiro Dreams of Sushi was life-changing. I’m glad one of my home ec teachers introduced us to the full docu in one of our classes.

Sports: Not a fan.

Religious: The Exorcist, if we can stretch what ‘religious’ means hahahaha

Family: Let’s just go with Toy Story again.

Holiday: It’s A Wonderful Life, and Love Actually again!

Black and White: Not really a genre lol, but Roman Holiday.

Historical: Schindler’s List. I guess Steve Jobs can also kinda technically count as historical even though it covers a super modern period. The screenplay in that movie was *chef’s kiss*

Based On True Events: Spotlight.

Classic: Gone with the Wind.

Book to Screen: Revolutionary Road, though I’ve never read the book.

Adult animated: Anomalisa.

Thriller: Misery.

Western: Ew hahahaha bye

Food:

How do you like your pizza? Very simple. The less toppings the better, 

Do you put parmesean cheese on pasta? If there’s some available, yeah.

What is your ideal salad? With chunks of tuna sashimi and spicy mayo.

Which is your favorite kind of macaroni & cheese? Isn’t macaroni and cheese just...that? Hahaha I’m not aware of any other kinds of it; I don’t get to have mac and cheese a lot.

Which juice is your favorite? I find some of the more exotic ones actually taste nice and don’t taste too overpowering, like guyabano.

What do you dip your french fries in? Mayonnaise, or any kind of sauce that has mayo mixed in it.

Which is your favorite kind of pie? I usually gravitate towards savory ones; doesn’t matter what kind.

Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate? Milk > white > dark.

How do you take your coffee? Creamy and milky.

Crab legs, shrimp, or lobster tail? Crab or lobster. Not the biggest fan of shrimp and I’d honestly pass on it if I could, but if it were the only seafood being served I wouldn’t mind getting one or two. But generally, the flavor doesn’t do much for me and I hate that they’re usually too small hahaha.

Steak medium rare or well done? Ultra rare.

If you said well done you can see yourself out. Lmao damn, I love steak but I’m not a gatekeeper...

Do you grow any of your own food? No, never really tried doing so.

If you do, which is your favorite to eat?

Name 4 foreign dishes you want to try. Can’t really name exact names of dishes off the top of my head, but some cuisines I have yet to try and would love to are African (in general), Brazilian, Sri Lankan, and Swedish.

Do you like guacamole? It’s fine. Not super common here, and I wouldn’t seek it out even if I were despeately hungry.

What is your go to snack? Corndogs or spicy tuna salad.

Do you prefer mustard or cheese on a soft pretzel? Cheese. Hate mustard.

Do you like oysters? Looooooooove them, but they’re kinda expensive so I don’t get to have them a lot. I usually settle for mussels.

How do you eat them? I’m down for any kind of oyster dish.

What kind of pasta is your favorite? Fettuccine.

Favorite alcoholic beverage, if you're of age? Long Island Iced Tea or some kind of fruity, sweet cocktail.

Favorite cold beverage? Cold water or soju.

Favorite type of junk food? Pizza always.

What could you eat every single day? Literally spicy tuna salad. I wish I could have one right now :(((

What food do you hate the most? Fruits or raisins.

Are you a good cook? Hahahaha, not at all. If I’m having a craving I usually have to have it ordered for delivery.

What is your favorite thing to make?

How do you eat oreos? I never eat the actual cookies because I had them a million times as a kid and now I’m sick of them. I do love Oreo-flavored stuff, like milkshakes and cheesecakes.

My Top 3 BTS Members from Each Era: Who Owned Each Era (Up to Permission to Dance)

Disclaimer: My Taehyung bias runs deep, so y’all may get mad at some of my choices--especially with the more recent stuff--unless you are fellow Taehyung trash. In which case, let’s talk.

Disclaimer #2: I’m not into any type of hip hop outside of BTS, so the rap verses usually have to stick out a lot for me to think it’s one of the best elements of the song. Though, I adore the rap line in BTS very much.

Disclaimer #3: Do not take a shot every time I say vocal tone/color because you will die.

So, I just made a BTS blog, and I wanted to start it off by talking about this. I realized while I was making this list that I tend to gravitate toward specific vocals and rap verses (from the maknae line and Yoongi, namely), so I’m sorry in advance if you don’t see your favorite person mentioned beneath a specific era, but these are just my opinions on who grabs my attention the most in each era; in other words, I’m not only ranking these based on who were the central members for that song, but also who jumped out the most to me. I mostly talk about these in terms of the vocal takes first and the total performance second with little consideration for how the music video was structured, though I may mention when a member’s concept is especially good for that era. K-pop does have a lot to do with total performance (vocal, choreo, wardrobe, etc.), but as I consume BTS’s music on its own more than I do their live performances, it was important to me to focus on the vocal before focusing on who killed the choreo. 

As such, you might see rankings in here that you don’t agree with because I thought a member may have dominated the MV but didn’t stick out to me as much vocally. This post is going to be very biased, though I did rank all of these with my honest interests in mind, so it’s biased for a reason. At the end of the day, BTS wouldn’t be BTS without all seven members, so even if I didn’t rank a certain member enough times in your opinion, I still love them so much and the music they produce. There is no “worst” member in each era. They’re all amazing all the time. So, just keep that in mind, and share your opinions with me in the replies!

P.S.: I tried to grab all the major MVs for the BTS singles that weren’t animated. Hopefully I didn’t forget anything, but there should be a mention of every MV that BTS specifically shot for that song and maybe a couple extras. I think the only exception is probably Make It Right since that MV was just a stage mix, but since there were multiple versions of it, I counted it in here. Same with EPILOGUE: Young Forever since it was almost entirely a compilation of old footage, but since it felt like a major MV, I included it. Also, I didn’t do various MV versions, obviously, since I’m focusing on the vocal before anything else.

P.S. #2: Sorry if these are out of order in some way; I tried to do them by when the MV was released. Also, sorry that some of the group photos don’t include everyone. The format I was using for the edits didn’t leave space to show all the members if the members were spread out.

Alright, so if I was being totally objective here and were to say who the top three members were based on the song structure and MV, it’d probably be Namjoon, Jungkook, and Jimin. However, being opinionated got me to these three.

Taehyung: If you’re thinking, “How can Taehyung be in the top 3 when he had no lines,” don’t worry. I was just as surprised as you are to have Taehyung in my top 3. I think it’s just that Taehyung’s (one) line was so heavy and had so much texture to it that it felt like bigger part than it was. I mean, I think it also has to do with me not knowing who my  number 3 would be for this song, and I decided that I would go with who’s vocal color fit this song the best, and that was Taehyung.

Yoongi: I mean, how could Yoongi not make the list? His first rap verse is iconic, and his second slaps. His voice has so much presence in this song that I can’t listen to it without looking forward to Yoongi’s part primarily. Also, you know those yips Yoongi does when he raps? That’s my favorite thing in the world, and No More Dream had a good amount of them.

Jungkook: We’re all aware that rapper Jungkook was an icon, and this song makes no exception to that rule. His verse is fire. Like Yoongi, Jungkook’s voice had a lot of character, as well. Legit, “see me, see me, yeah” gets stuck in head on a loop more often than is probably necessary. Ergo, Jungkook killed this era.

Full disclosure: I don’t really like this song. I did my best, though, to figure out which members interested me the most despite the fact that I don’t listen this song regularly like I do with most of the others. I would assume that the majority of people would probably list Namjoon and Jungkook along with Jimin in their top 3, but hey.

Taehyung: This is probably another confusing placement for Taehyung, but the pre-chorus he sang fit his voice nicely, or at least, his voice as it sounded back then. I don’t really think anyone stood out vocally in this song besides Jimin, but Taehyung put a little umph in his vocal, so it was nice since the pre-chorus is the catchiest part of this song for me.

Yoongi: Yoongi had the most interesting rap verse in this song, in my opinion. Like I said, I’m still not crazy about this song, but I thought Yoongi’s delivery of his verse was pretty engaging to listen to.

Jimin: Jimin almost feels like the only person in this song because his vocal sticks out so much. Not that I think the other members sound bad, because I think they all kill every song they do; it’s just the way this song sounds fit really well with Jimin’s vocal tone. Jimin ended up owned this era for me because he was so central to the sound this song was trying to produce.

I’m actually not sure what people’s top 3 would be for this song if we were talking about the majority of people. I’d guess probably Jungkook, Suga, and Namjoon? This song came down to the rap verses a lot more than I thought it would, but I guess that’s because a lot of BTS’s pre-2016 upbeat singles had diversity in the rap line while the vocalists had repetitive hooks and choruses.

Taehyung: I told y’all my bias was strong. I’m not putting Taehyung down for the sake of putting Taehyung down, though. I’ll be honest: besides the people in my top 3, I thought everyone did equally well with this song. Taehyung’s vocal stuck out just a little bit more for me than the other vocalists’. Just a bit. When Taehyung flips into his falsetto, it’s always really interesting to listen to. This is the first of many songs where, since the vocalists’ parts are repetitive and they all share the same parts, it really comes down to personal preference for vocal color; I just happen to like Taehyung’s.

Jungkook: I know Jungkook sings in this song, but his rap verse was lit as fuck. I don’t know how to talk about it in a way that makes sense, but listening to it is satisfying, you know? It’s an absolutely kickass way to open the song after the intro. I do think the parts where Jungkook sang fit his vocal tone particularly well. It’s not always the case with BTS songs that every member has a part that is made for their vocal tone--that’d be impossible to do--but they always sound good regardless. Sometimes, though, you get a piece of a song that fits the person singing it so well that it can’t be any other way, and that’s how I felt about Jungkook in this song.

Yoongi: As much as I love Jungkook’s rap verse, Yoongi murdered this song. Every time I listen to this song, my attention is snatched by Yoongi, full stop. I could be listening to this in the background, spacing out any type of detail from the song, but when Yoongi spits fire, I pay attention. I will say this again about other members in other eras, but Yoongi’s verse makes this song, which is why he owns this era.

This song has staying power, y’all. The rest of BTS’s older music sounds really nostalgic, but Boy in Luv just sounds like the kickass song that it is. I think most people’s rating of this era would be fairly similar to mine except for Yoongi. I imagine most people would gravitate toward Jin or Jimin. Honestly, picking the second and third members was really difficult because this song gave everyone parts that were perfect for them.

Yoongi: I don’t know if I should apologize for being so linear in my choices, but Yoongi is badass in this song. His rap verse said “listen boy,” and I’m still not over it. I usually don’t vibe with every rap verse like I did in this song, but even though all the rap verses were interesting, I landed on Yoongi because he caught my attention a bit more.

Jungkook: I think one of my favorite things ever in any BTS song is Jungkook’s rap verse in Boy In Luv. The percussiveness of it and the staccato way he delivers it are just so interesting to listen to. It’s also a really fun rap verse, but it’s dynamic, too. I want to acknowledge that if Jungkook had just been on the chorus, I would probably have stuck Jimin in my top 3 because his vocals have just a touch more texture in them during the chorus, but Jungkook also killed the chorus and the rap, so Jungkook it is.

Taehyung: I mean. From what I’ve seen of other people’s opinions of Boy In Luv, most of them agree that Taehyung had hella presence in this song. The distortion he puts on his voice, the growling, the parts of the song he ended up singing--it all contributed to him owning this era because it’s one of those moments where he fit the concept so well. Every member has a song or two like this under their belts where they embody the song, and this is one of Taehyung’s.

This is another song that I don’t really like, so don’t @ me for my opinions about this one. I did my best, fam. I think nearly everyone thinks Jungkook owned this era, and I imagine they would also include Jin and Jimin.

Taehyung: Not to be rude to the other members--including Taehyung--but since I didn’t find this song all that interesting, it made it hard to pick the second and third members. I don’t really think anybody but Jungkook stuck out. Taehyung’s verse was melodic and nice, though. Even though the “party party” part was dumb. Since, again, it’s a repetitive song, it came down to who’s vocal tone I liked the best. Taehyung’s vocal color is the most unique vocal color I’ve heard from any male artist, so slot number 3 he goes.

Yoongi: Again, this was mostly about whose rap verse I preferred because I’d already made my decisions about the vocalists. This isn’t a song where the rap verses stuck out at all for me, but Yoongi’s was percussive, so it was an interesting addition to the flow of the song.

Jungkook: I mean, this is a Jungkook song, you know? There are Namjoon songs and Hobi songs and Jin songs, and this one was Jungkook song. I don’t think he did anything spectacular with his vocals--which isn’t about him as a vocalist; it’s about the song itself not being dynamic enough to allow him to show off his vocals--but the way he used his voice in this song fit the tone of the song exactly. Taehyung usually has the monopoly on really gentle vocals for me, but Jungkook did really well with it in this song.

This one may get me some flack. Listen, there are parts of this song that I don’t really like--I will not say which parts--but most of it is fire as fuck, and I listen to this all the time. I know most people love Jungkook, Jimin, and Jin in this song. I get that. If I was being objective, I would agree with you. However, that’s the joy of opinions.

Jungkook: I know I said I’m not considering the choreo/MV as much, but Jungkook’s shoulders are loud, you know? Anyway, Jungkook fit this song really well. Actually, I think this is another song that everyone got a part that was meant for them. Jungkook did sound fire on the chorus, no doubt about it, but his rap verse was really dynamic, and Jungkook performed it really well. I have nothing bad to say about Jungkook in this song because it wouldn’t sound as good without his vocal tone.

Jimin: Look, I love Jimin’s sweet vocal tone that he’s used for most of BTS’s career; I even prefer it over his old vocal tone. However, sometimes you hear a song with Jimin’s deeper vocal tone where he puts distortion on his voice, and it slaps you in the face. This is one of those times. I mean, the part they gave him was perfect for what he was doing with his voice at this time. I think, in terms of uniqueness, Jimin would win every time in a debate about the Danger era’s top 3 members.

Taehyung: I barely ever see Taehyung mentioned when it comes to Danger, so this is probably an unpopular opinion, but his parts in Danger make the song. I’m not talking about the chorus--though I’m happy he actually sang in a good chunk of this song since he hadn’t been previously. In fact, I’m pretty sure Jungkook’s vocals were mixed louder than Taehyung’s vocals on the second half of the chorus--which was Taehyung’s part--during the production process. You can hear Taehyung, but Jungkook also sounds really clear on top of Taehyung’s voice. Anyway, what I’m talking about is the hook of the song. The money piece. This has happened more than once with Taehyung, and he always kills it. I vibe with the chorus, but the hook sticks in my head more than anything. So, for me, Taehyung owns this era.

I don’t understand what it is about this song that makes it so good, but it’s a bop. I still think, if I was thinking objectively, that my ranking would close to the same. Some people might choose Hobi over Namjoon or something like that, but ya know.

Jungkook: He’s so cute in this song, isn’t he? I know he’s supposed to come off as a bad boy, but he’s adorable. His parts in this song are really good though, and not just his rap verse. He’s used opposite Taehyung in this song, which was a really good choice. Jimin and Taehyung have the most opposite vocal tones in BTS, so they’re often played off of one another, but sometimes Jungkook’s vocals contrast really beautifully with Taehyung’s. Going from Taehyung’s richness to Jungkook’s clean and smooth vocals is really nice, so I appreciate Jungkook a lot in this song.

Namjoon: The way Namjoon opens this song is rad. It’s so distinct, and it’s the exact right tone to set the song off properly. It’s so damn catchy. Everyone in the rap line has really animated styles of rapping, but Namjoon is usually the most animated, and it really lent itself nicely to War of Hormone. Having him open this song was the best choice ever.

Taehyung: This is a Taehyung song, 1,000%. It was obviously supposed to be a Taehyung song, probably because of his vocal tone, though I’m sure his visual had a lot to do with it, too. Something happened to Taehyung with this single. It was like, all of a sudden, he found his charisma, and he’s been killing us all ever since. I don’t mean this in a negative way for the other members, but all the umph in this song comes from Taehyung. I think that’s how it should be because, if everyone had a vocal that sounded like Taehyung’s, it’d be too much--that’s why I like the way Jungkook’s voice compliments Taehyung’s. The parts of this song Taehyung had embellished the song perfectly, and it did wonders to show off Taehyung’s talent. The tone of this song just works with Taehyung at the center. Growling, attitude, stage presence, and all; Taehyung definitely owned the War of Hormone era.

I’ve got to say, BTS songs like this are catchy, but not something I pay attention to when I listen to them. I Need U, RUN, and Save ME are all like that. On top of that, they’re all pretty repetitive songs, and it’s hard to find each member individually in them--at least for me--so choosing the top 3 was difficult. I know a lot of people agree that Jimin owned this era, same with Yoongi. I imagine the third one, if I wasn’t being too opinionated about it, would probably be Jungkook.

Taehyung: So, Taehyung doesn’t have a lot going on in this song unless you consider the MV--which I’m trying not to do too much. I think, for this song though, the MV did come into play a bit more since it was basically a short film. Still, if I was only talking about the MV, Taehyung would be number 1. However, vocally, there wasn’t a whole heck of a lot to go on. The reason he made my list, though, is that his vocals still stuck out to me despite the amount of lines he had. Taehyung’s got soul; we all know this. Any time he sings in this song, my mind goes, “Oh?” because, even though it doesn’t happen a lot, it lends a lot to the tone of the song.

Yoongi: For someone who doesn’t really love this song, I have to say that Yoongi’s part is really the only part that hits me. His vocal color and the way he decided to use his voice for his verse was gorgeous. It’s one of those vocal takes where the vocal jumps out above the mix, and it almost doesn’t matter what’s happening with the instrumental because the vocal is so nice. Again, this is something that happens with all the members, and I try to acknowledge them when I think it’s happened. So, here’s to Yoongi for killing it.

Jimin: When I think of I Need U, the only thing I think about is Jimin. I know you’ve got Jungkook on the chorus, as well, but Jimin’s vocal tone is the thing that sticks in my head. It’s so perfectly matched with the song and the production that it’s easier to find Jimin in this song than it is to find really stark evidence of the other members--again, that’s more to do with the song than with the members. This song just happened to fit Jimin’s voice in a special way, which is why he owned the era.

So, I’m gonna do the Japanese singles, too, because they have MVs and all that. However, fair warning, these singles usually end up coming down to whose vocal tone I prefer since they’re usually softer songs that lean more on the vocalists than the rappers. Jungkook is the center of MV, so I think he’d be most people’s number 1. After that, I’d think people would choose Jin and Yoongi, but that’s just a guess.

Jin: For You basically has Jungkook, Jin, and Taehyung each sing the chorus, so that’s why it comes down to vocal tone, especially since I think the vocalists stuck out more than the rappers in this song. I loved Jin’s light tone on the chorus of For You. His falsettos can sound different in different songs, but in For You, it was so delicate, and I loved it a lot. Jin usually fits really well in softer songs that still have a bit of pop to them, so he did well in this song.

Jungkook: I know this was probably meant to be a Jungkook song, so don’t @ me. It’s a song that’s set up for a very Jungkook vocal, if that makes sense. As in, it was made for Jungkook. He has a really nice, clean, smooth tone to his vocal in For You, and it’s pleasant to listen to. I think he went a bit softer with his vocal takes in this song to fit the tone, so it took some of the natural character out of his voice, but it was perfect for the tone of the song. Jungkook’s voice blended really nicely into the mix, so I like hearing him in For You a lot.

Taehyung: I don’t know if people out there prefer cleaner vocals in a song like this, but I really loved how Taehyung’s vocal sounded like it was changing the tone of the song. I do think that Jungkook and Jin’s vocals are probably best for the majority of the song, but the diversity that comes out of giving Taehyung a chorus is awesome. It saves the song from being flat. Taehyung’s deep vocal tone always sounds gorgeous, especially in softer songs, but he didn’t decide to use a gentle voice in this song like Jin and Jungkook did; his voice was a lot fuller and more forward, and I liked what it did in For You quite a bit.

This is the beginning of the “beat fetish” era of music--i.e., songs that are heavily dependent on the drop, which becomes almost a chorus on its own. Dope is a beat fetish song, and BTS has a few of them; thankfully, when BTS makes songs that are dependent on the instrumental to add character, it always sounds bomb. I know most people agree that Jungkook and Jimin kill in this era, so objectively, I think I’m on the same track, but I think I differ when it comes to Yoongi because I imagine most people would prefer Namjoon.

Yoongi: I just love his sections of this song. That’s it. I don’t really have a reason for liking his rap verses more than Hobi’s or Namjoon’s; I just find myself vibing more to Yoongi’s. I mean, Yoongi’s verse has a lot more bass to it than the other verses, and for a song that depends on the beat, it was nice to get some instrumentality out of Yoongi’s voice on top of the music itself. Plus, he’s got the “enemy enemy enemy; energy energy energy” part, which I freakin’ love.

Jimin: Jimin really sticks out in this song. There are very few BTS songs where it feels like Jimin has a lot of time in the spotlight as a support for Jungkook, but it did feel like that in Dope, and it was kind of cool. I don’t know that Dope needs a bunch of different vocal tones to make it work, and Jimin and Jungkook can sound very similar in songs of this genre. It worked really well to switch between Jungkook and Jimin with just a slight difference in vocal color coming through. That little bit of variation was interesting, and Jimin’s specific vocal tone shone nicely.

Jungkook: If ever there were a Jungkook song, my friends, this is it. It’s similar to Jimin in We Are Bulletproof Pt.2--that is to say, it’s almost like Jungkook is the only one in this song. Obviously, that isn’t true, and the other members stick out more in this song than in We Are Bulletproof Pt.2, but Jungkook is so clearly the face of this song. His voice is exactly what this song needs because the beat is so intense and Jungkook’s vocals are clean but with just enough grit added to complement the instrumental. Jungkook made this era his bitch, y’all.

As I’ve said, this is one of those background songs for me, and it really comes down to whose vocal tone I personally prefer. It’s not even about whose vocal tone blends in the best; it’s just about what sounds interesting to me. I think, objectively, the top three of this era would be Jungkook, Jimin, and maybe Namjoon. This is another one where, for everyone, the MV did touch my opinions on the rankings a bit. But I actually think the coolest parts of the MV align with what I have ranked already--except for the fact that Yoongi isn’t on my list despite having an amazing scene in the MV--so it worked out.

Taehyung: Taehyung’s voice just kills in songs like this. I know I keep harping on his vocal tone--and that’s not stopping any time soon--but his voice adds emotion to this song. It’s not a gentle vocal exactly, but it’s breathy; because his voice is also deep, it combined nicely to push the song into the chorus and then kick off the bridge. Actually, I adore Taehyung’s voice in the bridge because he puts a lot of character into it with his vibrato and the bends in his voice.

Jungkook: Like Jimin in I Need U, Jungkook permeates this song. The vocals for RUN scream Jungkook, to me, because he’s consistently lending his smooth vocal tone to the entire song. It’s a song that needs consistency since it’s quite repetitive. Again, it’s hard to find individuality with this song, though not as hard as it is with I Need U; rather than individuality, you have Jungkook’s clear vocal consistency that provides a nice foundation for the song to sit on, and that’s what makes it work.

J-Hope: Hobi’s verse in RUN was something else. Melodically, I think it was the most interesting part of this song. It sounds so different when compared to the rest of the RUN; I mean, it still sounds like part of the song, but it almost sounds like they wrote his verse for something else and put it in this song instead, and doing that made the sickest section of RUN come to life. I absolutely love Hobi in this song; I vibe so hard. I’m giving the era to J-Hope.

Is this, like, a weird song to include on this list as an era? They filmed stuff specifically for this MV, right? That’s why I’m here. Whatever, we’re gonna talk about it. I don’t love this song, if I’m honest, but I wanted to be thorough, so I’ve got some opinions. I think, objectively, Taehyung would still be on the list, and probably Jin, too. I’m sure other people may choose Jimin or Jungkook, but it’s a short song, so who knows?

Jin: Jin’s vocal tone has so much texture to it in this song. He uses, like, intentional vocal cracks to add character into the vocal, and it really works. Vocal cracks can add a lot of emotion to a vocal take if they’re used correctly, and Jin is a master at it. Again, there isn’t much to say since this is a short song, but Jin sang beautifully.

J-Hope: So good, his rap verse is. He has the same melody as Yoongi in the beginning of his verse--and both of them sound great--but then Hobi’s melody changes and, all of a sudden, the music stops and Hobi continues rapping, and it’s so impactful. It’s hard to explain, but it’s a moment that gets your heart beating a little bit faster. I don’t love much of this song, but the end of Hobi’s verse is really special.

Taehyung: This is one of the few songs from before 2018 where Taehyung’s voice shoots through the entire song. He just has the “forever, we are young” lyric, but it’s sung so often, and it’s basically the center of the song. That notion is going to come up again in a minute, but anyway. Plus, Taehyung’s vocal color works well with the grandiose tone of this track. So, Taehyung owned the era for me since I feel like his vocal was central to the song’s overall sound.

We’re here with another repetitive, beat fetish song, but y’all, this is one of the most iconic songs of all time. Most, if not all, people say Yoongi owned this era. Then people would probably choose Jin and Jungkook. As this song is so repetitive for the vocalists--like, legit, three out of the four of them basically had one melody to sing over and over--I think it really comes down to which parts they gave the members and which parts I personally thought were more important to the song’s iconic reputation.

Jimin: No joke--even though this sounds like a joke--Jimin’s “la la la la la” part is one of the things that makes this song amazing. He killed it because he switched out the sweetness in his voice for something with a little more bass, and it came out perfectly. Don’t get me wrong; Jungkook’s “eh eh oh eh oh” is iconic, too; I just thought Jimin’s build into the chorus was so badass that I couldn’t leave him off the top 3 list.

Taehyung: Look, if Yoongi’s verse was different, Taehyung would number 1 in the FIRE era. I know he sings the same line over and over, but it’s the hook. It’s literally the part of the song that even people who don’t know K-pop is a thing know. I know this because I heard Taehyung’s part in this song everywhere when it came out, and I didn’t even know it was a BTS song. If you’re not counting the first line of the song, I really think Taehyung has the most iconic and memorable part in FIRE. Plus, the way he delivers it is absolutely perfect, and it’s legit all the song is for the last minute. No shade to the other members because they all have things that only they can do, but no one could pull of Taehyung’s line like Taehyung did. It’s such an important piece to this song, so I feel like Taehyung has to rank in the top 3.

Yoongi: After saying all that, even I can’t deny that this was Yoongi’s era to shine. As iconic as his opening line was, if that was all he had in this song, Yoongi wouldn’t have been able to own FIRE. It’s his rap verse that sticks out. He growls in his verse, did you know that? Holy shit, it sounds so cool. The entire verse a full ass mood, and I love it to bits. It’s got to be one of my favorite Yoongi verses in a BTS song. He was in his element in this era. Absolute legend.

This is another song that really comes down to how much I love the vocal takes since it’s really repetitive. I didn’t vibe with rap verses in this song, but that could just be because I don’t vibe with this song in general. Objectively, this is Jungkook, Jimin, and either Taehyung or Jin’s era. The reason I didn’t include Jimin isn’t because I don’t like his vocal tone in this song; I just went with the vocal characteristics that jumped out to me.

Jin: I’ve said this already, but Jin’s vocal texture is really nice in songs like this. I feel like, if I try and describe his voice, people are going to take it the wrong way, but his vocals are a bit more nasal and thin than the other members’, and it allowed him to sound really unique in Save ME. It added a lot of flavor to the song.

Jungkook: I know Jungkook is usually listed as number 1 for this era, and I don’t think that’s wrong. This is another song where Jungkook’s voice blends. It’s like the song was made for him, which is probably why he seems to permeate the whole song. The clear quality of his voice is really nice for Save ME.

Taehyung: My bias has decided that Taehyung’s vocal color is gorgeous in this song. No, honestly, even if I’m being objective, there’s still something to be said for how Taehyung contributes to Save ME. This is song that needs a little bit of soul, you know? And Taehyung’s falsetto is bit raspy in Save ME, which I think lends a lot to the emotion this song is trying to convey. Who owned this era will probably have very different answers depending on who you talk to; for me, though, it goes to Taehyung.

Objectively, Hobi and Jimin are always going to top this era, and I think most people would add Jin into the list. This is one of those songs where I disagree with the popular opinion just a bit--though there will be songs later where I almost entirely disagree with the popular opinion. Keep in mind, I’m focusing on vocal first and performance second. So, yes, if I’m talking about the MV, Jin absolutely sticks out. It’s just that my interests were drawn to other members vocally.

J-Hope: It really came down to the hook of the song, for me. I like Yoongi’s rap verse a little bit better, but Hobi is so freaking iconic on the hook of this song. That’s not to say that his rap verse was bad, though, because the rhythm it has is addicting. It’s a really good, intense vocal take that leads into the sharp decline of the chorus since the chorus is softer in the first half. The hook is where it’s at, though. Honestly, what a legendary part of this song Hobi has. And his voice pulls it off like no one else could--though Jungkook does do a wonderful job, too.

Taehyung: His voice just sounds so interesting in this song. I know some people may prefer Jungkook on the chorus because his voice is clearer while Taehyung’s is more delicate, but that’s why I like it so much. It sounds fragile, and Jimin and Jungkook chose a really forward sound for the chorus, so Taehyung stuck out a lot to me. At the end of the vocal run in the chorus, too, he puts a bit of static into his vocal to come down into his chest voice from his falsetto, and it sounds stunning.

Jimin: This is a Jimin song through and through. I love the diversity you get with Taehyung’s voice, but I also think Jimin’s sweet vocal color is a necessity for this song to sound amazing. Of course, Jimin sticks out in the MV, as well, but his vocals really made Blood Sweat & Tears special. Jimin also alternates between breathiness and full voice in a really masterful way, and it gives a lot of character to his vocal takes. Jimin owns this era, hands down.

This song deserves a Grammy, for real. I’m gonna make a post about that later, so I won’t get into it now, but damn, this song is phenomenal. I’m gonna get flack for my choices on this one, and I’ve accepted it. It’s such a gorgeous song that it’s hard to pick who stuck out, even if I’m being opinionated. Objectively, Jin, Jimin, and maybe Jungkook would probably be in the top 3, but there’s character in everybody’s voice in Spring Day.

Jin: Jin has this uncanny ability to sound ethereal when he sings, and it really showed in Spring Day. Jin was the perfect person to use to end this song; the uniqueness in his voice was a really impactful way to bookend Spring Day because it made it feel like a journey that had just ended. So much story was told through Jin’s voice in this song.

Namjoon: Namjoon sounds so fucking beautiful in Spring Day. If Jin was the perfect member to close out this song, Namjoon was the perfect one to begin it. He sounds gorgeous. I’m not gonna be over it for a long time, my friends. He should sing more, honestly; Namjoon’s voice is so smooth and relaxing. I adore him in Spring Day like nobody’s business.

Taehyung: I don’t know if this an unpopular opinion? So, Taehyung sounds phenomenal when he has to go up into the higher part of his range--which is a lot since most of the BTS songs are made for tenors, and he’s the only baritone. His vocal color is remarkably consistent, in a way that I haven’t heard with any other artist, all the way up his range, and it allows him to maintain the soulfulness in his voice regardless of what register he’s in. The way that manifested in Spring Day resulted in some of the most beautiful vocal takes I’ve ever heard. The vocal cracks, Taehyung’s deep tone, the breathiness snapping into heavy chest voice; it’s all so beautiful. His vocal at the beginning of the bridge is honestly one of my favorite vocal takes from any BTS song. I love it. This song is already emotional, but the way Taehyung’s vocals hit me in Spring Day is why I think he owned this era.

Most people agree that the rap line killed this song, right? That’s probably the top 3 for most fans. I don’t know if I’m gonna convey this properly, but this song is borderline dirty hip hop, right? It’s got really grungy beats, raps, and vocals, so that’s why I say that. The only other song like that in BTS’s discography--that’s a single, obviously, because there’s a good chunk of dirty hip hop B-side tracks--is MIC Drop. This is a preface for what I’m about to talk about, so bear with me.

Namjoon: I had a hard time picking between Namjoon and Hobi for my number 3, but both of Namjoon’s verses were animated in really contrasting ways, and that interested me a lot. The first one was brighter, and the second one had a lot more bass to it. I don’t know if this is the right way to explain it, but Namjoon’s pronunciation in his second verse was so satisfying. It isn’t exactly percussive, but it’s something close--like onomatopoeia--and I enjoy listening to it a lot.

Taehyung: Okay, I’m going to die on this hill--and I’ll bring it up again later--but when it comes to dirty hip hop, if you’re gonna have a vocal on it, Taehyung is always gonna sound bomb. This song isn’t quite the best representation of that because Taehyung doesn’t have that many parts, but you still get the idea. The natural bass in his voice plus the growl and distortion he uses in songs like this stands out in a big way. It’s the perfect accompaniment to a rap-heavy song like Not Today, which is a big compliment considering the vocals in songs like this aren’t usually meant to stand out as much as the rap verses are.

Yoongi: I don’t think I need to explain, but I will anyway. You get the intro with Namjoon, and then you come straight into Yoongi’s verse, and it’s such a satisfying way to start this track. Yoongi’s verse is definitely percussive and it works with the instrumental underneath so well. It’s somehow calm and exciting to listen to, and it gets you really hyped up right away. Yoongi does great things with his voice, too, because it sits really low before snapping up and then going back down; it’s so dynamic. What an icon, honestly. Yoongi kills the Not Today era.

What a pretty MV, you know? Not to throw shade, but whoever said Jungkook and Taehyung should have weird green accents in their hair was wack--even if it was the two of them that said it. Of course, I mean that in the best way possible because they look awesome; everyone looks fine as hell in the DNA MV. Anyway, so I think my top 3 is pretty common besides the fact that I don’t have Hobi. I know this is the “J-Hooooooooooooope” era, and I apologize. If I was just considering the MV and the choreo, Hobi would be number 1. Just know I freakin’ stan Hobi in DNA, okay?

Yoongi: Yoongi’s verse in this song has always stuck out to me a lot. It’s got a lot of pop to it, you know? Plus, after his first little verse, he sings opposite Jungkook, and it’s one of my favorite parts of DNA. Between the sweet vocals of Jimin and Jungkook that dominate the last half of the song and Namjoon’s verse that had a lot of bass, it was nice to have Yoongi pull the two halves of the song together with lower vocal that still sounded bright.

Jungkook: Y’all, Jungkook was absolute perfection in this song. I don’t know what it is, but the parts Jungkook had were tailor made for him. I’d say this is one of the few BTS songs post-2015 where Jungkook’s voice has a sweeter tone to it than Jimin’s, and it really works. It absolutely supports DNA the entire way through. Even though Jungkook’s voice blends into the mix seamlessly, he doesn’t get lost in it, and that’s why he stood out to me.

Taehyung: You would be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t think this was Taehyung’s era. Obviously, some people don’t think that, but so many people agree that Taehyung is the face of DNA, and that’s so funny to me because he almost disappears after the beginning of the song. He’s got the intro, the first pre-chorus with Jungkook, and a couple lines in the bridge, but that’s it, and somehow most people ardently agree that Taehyung owns this era. Obviously, I am one of them. I mean, he barely ever gets to use his voice like he does in DNA; the depth is extraordinary. It sounds absolutely stunning. It’s 100% the key vocal in DNA, and it makes total sense as to why. Taehyung dominates this era, for real.

I know, I know; most people’s top 3 would be the rap line, but sue me, okay? This song is the real power of BTS, to me, because I love it even though I do not vibe with the rap genre in any type of way. This song is hella rap-heavy, and I think it’s bomb. Iconic, even.

Taehyung: Listen, I have things to say. You know what I said about Taehyung and rap-heavy songs. This song makes me a want a rap line B-side song with Taehyung as the vocalist so badly. Give me an album with Jin, Jungkook, and Jimin killing the vocal game on one song and Taehyung plus the rap line killing a dirty hip hop song like this, please. It would be absolutely epic. Taehyung’s distortion, growls, vocal color, all of it, lend themselves so well to this era. He’s got the same lines and melodies as the rest of the vocalists, but because he’s got grit, it sounds like this song was meant for him. The rest of the vocalists do amazingly, too, but Taehyung sticks way the fuck out to me.

J-Hope: Alright, I know Hobi is number 1 on most people’s list, and I apologize. I agree that Hobi killed this song. His vocal at the beginning is fabulous. He intentionally makes it sound more whiny and nasal, and it’s perfect. Hobi is such a vibe in this song.

Yoongi: It was very difficult deciding who to put down as the one who owned this era, but I had to give it to Yoongi because of his delivery. He also made his voice thinner like Hobi, and it lent itself nicely to his rap verse, especially since the vocal was really animated. Yoongi puts distortion on the end of his lines, too, and it sounds amazing. I could listen to Yoongi spit fire on this song for days.

I have opinions about this song. I’m fully aware that, objectively, the top 3 would be Jungkook, Jin, and Jimin, but like I said--opinions. This is another iconic BTS song--at least, in my opinion. Just like with FIRE, I remember hearing this song everywhere before I started listening to BTS. I’m gonna say some things now that you may not agree with, and that’s fine because this is a fun post to make, and I’m excited to see what everyone thinks; just know every BTS member is an icon in my eyes.

Jin: Yo, Jin sounds so fire in this song. In the MV, I’d say he sticks out a touch more than he does if you only consider the vocal, but the vocal is still astounding. It’s not really the range I’m impressed with because Jin is a countertenor, so the C5s he’s hitting are well within his comfort range, but the tone he has when he hits them is remarkable. They’re so clear, but they still have character to them. I stan.

Jungkook: So, Jungkook mostly has the same melodies as Taehyung in this song, which makes sense because Jungkook’s comfort range is slightly below Jimin and Jin’s--though above Taehyung’s. I think the way Jungkook sounds on the chorus is gorgeous. It’s similar to War of Hormone, where his clean vocals bounce off of Taehyung’s--which, in FAKE LOVE, happens in the first chorus--and it sounds so nice. Jungkook goes for narrower vowels, and it makes his vocal takes sound slightly thinner, so it adds an interesting dimension to the song since Taehyung goes wider on the same parts.

Taehyung: Here are my opinions; are you ready? For the life of me, I don’t understand why people stan Taehyung’s deep vocals in DNA and then don’t think the same thing about FAKE LOVE. The way Taehyung sounds opening up this song is just as impactful, to me, as his intro in DNA was. Plus, him singing the melody while Jimin sang the harmony at the end of this song sounded beautiful. The real shit, though, is the chorus. Taehyung’s vocal texture on the chorus is it, fam. I’m not going to say anything about anybody else because people can absolutely love different members as much as I love Taehyung, but to me, Taehyung’s vocal on the chorus was the stand out piece in FAKE LOVE by far. The emotion he conveys and the texture in his voice make him, undoubtedly, the top in this era, for me.

Is this another song where people stan the rap line? It’s more of a beat fetish song than a rap-heavy song, but still. Actually, I guess the top 3 would objectively include Jimin and Jin along with Namjoon, right? Anyway. I didn’t like this song at first, but it grew on me. It was definitely hard to rank, though.

Yoongi: Another fire Yoongi verse lives within this song. He’s so aggressive, you know? He uses that distortion that I love coming from Yoongi, and he does those yips that I stan. It’s a good verse in the first place, but Yoongi really brings it to life and adds a lot of grit to it, so I love it a lot.

Taehyung: I feel largely the same about Taehyung in this song as I do about Taehyung in Not Today and MIC Drop. First of all, Taehyung growls in this song, so that’s iconic and nostalgic at the same time. Second of all, how about that pre-chorus, huh? Again, I don’t want to directly compare him to the other members because everyone is bomb in this song, but Taehyung’s deep voice really brought out the best in the pre-chorus. Besides that, the vocalists kind of just went “oh oh ooh oh,” so my analysis ends here.

Namjoon: I really think Namjoon’s first, opening line in this song is one of the most iconic parts of BTS’s career. If I’m being totally honest, I vibe with Yoongi’s verse more, but Namjoon’s presence in IDOL is so strong that I can’t deny him the title of owning this era. He’s definitely the face of IDOL, and he deserves it because he’s a king.

Alright, so this is one of the most unique songs I’ve heard BTS produce, but it’s not one of my favorites. As such, I ended up being a bit more objective than usual because I don’t have the experience with this song to develop hardcore opinions on who should be in the top 3. I imagine most people would say Jimin, and then maybe Jin and Hobi, as well.

Jin: Jin is not on this list because of “el mariajin,” but that meme is iconic. Jin’s nasally tone really made this song sound special during his parts. It was interesting to listen to him sing because it sounded like it really fit his voice and didn’t at the same time. I absolutely mean that in the best way because I think that kind of disconnect between a song’s tone and the singer can be really fun if it isn’t the case because the singer is a bad match. So, I think Jin’s vocal was awesome and engaging in this track.

Taehyung: This song is another one where Taehyung gets to flex his lower register, and it sounds really pretty. I don’t feel like a lot goes on in this song, so it was hard to rank people, but I really liked Taehyung’s voice against the instrumental. This is a unique genre for BTS, and I think Taehyung’s voice found an interesting place in it that I liked a lot.

Jimin: I’d say this is pretty close to being a Jimin song. His vocal stands out so much on the chorus. This song needs Jimin’s sweet tone for it to pull of what it wants to, so the fact that Jimin got a good chunk of the key vocal in this track helped it a lot. I’m not sure what else to say about it, but Jimin’s voice really fit this genre.

This song is a vibe and a half. Weirdly, I thought it was too generic the first time I listened to it, but now I adore it. Objectively, I think my ranking would still be the same as my opinionated ranking. Well, Jimin and Yoongi might trade places or Jin might replace Yoongi, but whatever.

Jimin: Y’all I was so convinced this was supposed to be a Jimin song when I was first exposed to it. He’s got the sweet tone that matches exactly with the genre of this song, and his voice compliments Halsey’s so well. Jimin really milked his vocal color for all it was worth in this song, and it shows. He did amazingly.

Yoongi: Yoongi’s verse is a bop, guys. It almost sounds lazy the way Yoongi delivers it, and it adds so much character to the song. It’s also pretty animated considering that this song is quite mellow, and it offered a nice contrast between everybody else and Yoongi. I kind of want to bounce up and down every time I hear his verse. Don’t know if that helps convey my feelings about it or not.

Taehyung: Taehyung’s voice in this song is flirting if flirting was a sound. Like I said, I thought Jimin was meant to be the center for this song, but I’ve seen a lot of “Who Owned Each BTS Era” videos, and not a one of them has failed to put Taehyung in the number 1 spot for the Boy With Luv era. I, like, totally get it, though. The way Taehyung presents his voice in this song is somehow gentle and light, but it still has a bottom to it, if that makes sense. And his falsettos on the second pre-chorus? Shut up. This is one of those songs where Taehyung’s specific accent and pronunciation make the song so much better. I absolutely agree with people that this was Taehyung’s era.

This is one of my absolute favorite BTS songs. First of all, it’s relaxing as fuck to listen to, and second of all, the vocalists really did that, you know? This song is hard for Jungkook, who isn’t a countertenor, and it’s hard for a baritone like Taehyung, and they still slapped in Lights. I don’t know what I would say objectively about this song. I mean, objectively, looking at the members’ vocal ranges, Taehyung would still top the list because he had the hardest job. Then I’d probably say Jungkook and Jin.

Yoongi: I know I just said a bunch of shit about the vocalists, but Yoongi’s verse is so pretty. Relaxation is guaranteed upon listening to his verse. It’s kind of a rap, but it’s also kind of singing, and Yoongi’s voice is so lovely to listen to. I want to give a shout-out to Hobi, though, because I almost gave this spot to him. I just thought the melodies in Yoongi’s verse were a touch more pleasing.

Jungkook: Again, Jungkook used narrower vowels in Lights because that’s how he sings comfortably when he’s a bit higher into his range, and it pulled a beautiful tone out of him. His vocals were really gorgeous in this song. Once again, he had a nice contrast singing opposite Taehyung, so it made me appreciate his vocals even more.

Taehyung: Y’all Taehyung being able to sing this high up into his range for the whole song is already impressive, but also having to hit two Bb4s and a C5 on top of that is hella impressive for a baritone. Not only that, but his vocal color sounds stunning when he’s up that high. I said this earlier, but his vocal tone is consistent regardless of the register he’s in, and the way he mixes on the high notes is gorgeous for that reason. It still sounded intense and full and deep despite it being close to the top of his range. This song is a banger regardless, but Taehyung’s vocals are what make me listen to it so often because they’re so special to listen to. He definitely owned this era.

So, I stuck Make It Right on this list because, even though it didn’t have a MV filmed for it, it was still a song which got two MV versions--even though they were almost exactly the same--so I figured it read as more of a single than the songs that were called singles but didn’t get an MV, like Don’t Leave Me. I have no clue who would be the top 3 if you think about it objectively, but I think it’d probably be the either the maknae line or two of the maknae line and Jin.

Jimin: So, this is a repetitive song; it’s a really calming song, so the repetition isn’t bad, but repetitive it still is. Therefore, I was paying attention to vocal color more than anything, and Jimin’s light tone sounded so beautiful in Make It Right. First of all, he does sing a bit deeper in the beginning of this song, and that’s really nice because Jimin’s voice has a lot of character when he’s either lower in his range or belting. Secondly, Jimin’s falsetto in this song is so pretty. There are a few songs where his falsetto can sound much the same as Jin’s or Jungkook’s, but I thought Jimin’s falsetto jumped out a lot in Make It Right.

J-Hope: Hobi sang the same melody that Taehyung and Jimin did on the verse, but it was just a bit different, and I adore it. Hobi’s vocal color isn’t heard nearly enough, and when it gets to be front and center in a song like this, I love it. He’s usually the one in the rap line with the highest vocal tone, but when he sings, he comes out with this lovely, low tone that blows me away every time I hear it. In Make It Right, it made the melodies during Hobi’s part feel special, and there was just a touch of static on his vocal, as well, that brought the verse to life.

Taehyung: I don’t know if this was intentional, but Taehyung’s vocal in the Make It Right chorus sounded like it was mixed to be the main vocal. I don’t know if that’s because this song sounds like it was made for his vocal tone or not, but if I listen to the “oh, oh, I can make it right; alright, alright; oh, oh, I can make it right” lyric, I hear Taehyung’s voice on top and everybody else underneath. It’s gorgeous, though. That’s why I feel like this is his era because his voice runs throughout the entire song in a way that doesn’t happen often with Taehyung. The solo parts he had in this song were done beautifully, as well, because you got to hear him sing in his soft, full voice and then flip into the airy falsetto that sticks out in any song it’s in. I don’t know, I just thought Taehyung’s vocal sounded exceptional in Make It Right, which is why it reads as a Taehyung song to me, as well as a Taehyung era.

Y’all about to fight me in the replies over this one, I already know. ON and Black Swan are the two eras I’m most nervous about posting my opinions on, but it’ll be interesting to see if anyone agrees with me. I know Jungkook is most people’s number 1 for this era and that Taehyung, Jin, or Hobi fall underneath him; that’s totally fine. Jungkook killed it, and I’m not trying to convince you that my thoughts are the only correct ones in any way. If I’m being critical and not subjective, Jungkook absolutely owns this era. My ranking is as opinionated as it gets.

Jimin: So, I had a hard time deciding who to stick in this position since all the rap verses were fire, and Jin also sounded amazing, but I think it’s the fact that Jimin’s vocal sticks out throughout the entire song that made me choose him. This is gonna sound like a joke again, but the “hey na na na” part is, like, a key vocal for ON, and Jimin’s vocal color makes it into a memorable piece of the song. I don’t know if that’s weird, but Jimin felt very present in ON.

Jungkook: I’m sorry, okay? In a lot of ways, the bridge of ON makes this Jungkook’s era. It was an extremely difficult vocal to pull off, and the song basically stops to give Jungkook the spotlight in a way BTS music doesn’t ever really do. I get that the bridge is, in many ways, the center of the song. I was so close to giving the era to Jungkook, I swear, because he sounded gorgeous. Especially the rasp on his voice when he belts. The falsetto note at the top is beautiful, but when Jungkook comes back down in his chest voice and jumps back up to a belt before his solo ends? I mean, he’s an absolute icon.

Taehyung: The reason I have Taehyung down as owning this era is because his vocal sticks out more during the rest of ON. This period of BTS music, up to their 2020 releases, has been doing things for Taehyung’s voice. He sounds different from how he used to, and the tone he’s creating from the songs that BTS has been making recently is stunning. I thought it fit ON really well, and Taehyung’s voice popped out every time he sang. I adore Jungkook, and objectively, he killed this era with his vocals; it’s just that his voice popped in the bridge, and I decided to consider the entire song because the chorus and pre-chorus are my favorite parts of ON. I’m going to say a similar thing about Black Swan, but in a song where the chorus sounds largely the same, regardless of who’s singing, the fact that Taehyung’s tone stuck out despite that was big deciding factor, for me.

Hold on. I know this is a set of unpopular opinions, but remember how I said I was considering the vocal first? To me, these vocals sounded the most unique in Black Swan. Again, if this were about the MV, Jimin would annihilate everybody; if it were about the choreo, nobody could touch Jimin. It’s just not what I was considering when making these rankings. I did consider the performance for Black Swan, but Jimin didn’t have as many central parts in the stage choreo as he did in the MV; plus I thought Jungkook and Taehyung both killed the choreo, as well, so I that’s how I landed on these rankings.

J-Hope: I really love Hobi’s rap verse in Black Swan. His vocal tone is gorgeous, and it sounds really unique in this song. The melodies for his verse are really nice on top of the mix, so I think Hobi probably had the most unique-sounding vocal in this song; it made his verse stand out since the rest of Black Swan is quite dark in tone while Hobi’s verse brought a bit of pop to it.

Yoongi: That being said, Yoongi’s verses in this song slapped. Yoongi can have this deep, almost lazy-sounding vocal tone--as I’ve said already--with really relaxed pronunciation, and for a song like Black Swan, it matched it perfectly. My attention is always grabbed by Yoongi in this song because it fits the concept so well. Also, he picks up right after Hobi’s verse, which had a bit of a brighter vibe, and the way Yoongi pulled it into the darker pre-chorus was amazing.

Taehyung: Alright, so the vocals are my favorite part of Black Swan, but there’s so much processing on the vocalists that Taehyung’s vocal tone is the only one that sticks out to me, and that’s why he owns this era, in my opinion. Taehyung, even, almost sounds the same as the rest of the vocal line, but his vocal color is distinct enough that he sounds different where the rest of the vocalists sound pretty similar. Also, like Yoongi, Taehyung’s deep vocal tone complimented the song really, really well. Black Swan is another example of how the BTS music from 2020 allowed Taehyung to showcase a slightly different vocal color, so I had to give the era to him.

I think we’re in slightly less controversial territory now, so here we go. If you’re being objective, I imagine anyone would say Jungkook topped his era. After, that I don’t know who would be in the top 3 objectively, but I’d guess it’d probably be Jimin and Jin since they featured a lot in this song.

Taehyung: I’m not gonna lie: this is another song that’s pretty repetitive, and a song where the chorus sounds the same, regardless of who’s singing. It’s not a bad thing because all the vocalists have beautiful voices, but since Taehyung didn’t sing “stay gold” once in this song, he stuck out by avoiding the repetitive hook of Stay Gold. I mean, his voice works extremely well in songs like this anyway, but his lovely vocal tone was especially beautiful on the pre-chorus. I think the way he decided to deliver it was really impactful, and it’s probably my favorite part of Stay Gold.

Yoongi: I just love Yoongi in Stay Gold. Taehyung and Yoongi are a hella theme for me in this post, but what can you do? Jungkook technically starts this song by singing the intro, but Yoongi’s got the first verse, and the way he adds just a bit of animation into his otherwise relaxed voice is so nice to listen to. It’s a short part, but it still stands out.

Jungkook: This is another one of those songs that’s tailored to Jungkook’s vocal. Again, the chorus is pretty similar across the vocalists, but Jungkook’s adlibs are so pretty in this song. Jungkook usually does most of the adlibs for songs like these with Jimin backing him up, but Stay Gold had a handful of standout adlibs from Jungkook that added so much magic to the tone of the song. Plus, even though the chorus is what it is, Jungkook stands out elsewhere in the song, and his vocal color is perfectly showcased in those areas. The Stay Gold era goes to Jungkook.

I almost want to save this song for last because it’s so iconic already. Listen, it’s a basic pop song, but the way BTS does it makes it not sound basic. I don’t think it’s one of BTS’s all-time best songs, but I do think it’s been their most successful so far since it’s a basic pop song that can get popular easily, and I think it’s their most repeatable song. I could--and have--listened to this for an hour straight without getting tired of it. It’s because BTS did it, honestly. Anyway, objectively, I still think Taehyung would top this era, but I know a lot of people would say Jungkook should, which is fine; I can tell that, when they recorded this song, they wanted Jungkook to be the vocal center. Also, a lot people love Jin in this era, and they should. He’s a king, and he killed it. Adding onto that, this was a vocal track so Hobi and Yoongi didn’t get a lot of parts, but they killed what they had; I just wanted to say that.

Jimin: I had a hard time picking the third member, y’all. I was bouncing between Jimin, Jungkook, and Jin, and honestly, I think they all did equally well in this song. What made me pick Jimin is that his vocal tone in this song is so different from how he normally sounds--especially when he sings this live. I don’t know if it’s because he stays pretty low in his vocal range for Dynamite or because of the type of song it is, but Jimin’s voice sounded so full in this song. I mean, yeah, he has moments where his sweet vocal tone comes out, too, but he mostly showcases a deeper vocal tone. I love it a lot because it isn’t usual for Jimin, so I think this is a good era for him.

Namjoon: I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion or what, but Namjoon kind of feels like the face of this song in a lot of ways. He did say he had a lot to do with the vocal in this song because he’s “in charge of English,” so maybe that’s it, but his part in the pre-chorus was a hella bop. He did it so damn well. Yoongi did, too, mind you; I just think Namjoon brought a little bit of flavor into it, you know? He had all the jams in this song, for real. I remember wanting to highlight Namjoon’s role in Dynamite when I was thinking about making this post, and now I’ve done it, so I’m satisfied.

Taehyung: Y’all. I don’t know if there’s any Taehyung era on this list that Taehyung embodies quite like he embodies the Dynamite era. This is, like, the only moment I’m going to talk about visual concepts in this post because damn. Whoever decided to put Taehyung in that green suit and give that shade of blonde hair was a genius. He was looking some type of way in this era. But that’s not the point of this post. Taehyung’s vocal tone was astoundingly well suited to this song. He sounded the most distinct from the other vocalists than I’ve heard him sound in a long time. On top of that, he got the last chorus of Dynamite, which is the money piece of the song, in my opinion. They really said, “Let’s do a key change in this already high-pitched song that’ll jump up to a C#5 right at the end and give that part to BTS’s only baritone.” I know Jin hit the same note, and he did it beautifully, as well, but a C#5 is more comfortable for Jin to hit than it is for Taehyung because of Jin’s vocal type. The fact that Taehyung nails that note in studio and live is insane to me. To go from one line in their debut song to this? Holy shit, you know? Anyway, we’ve been here forever. Taehyung owns this era because he’s a mad impressive vocalist, and he made Dynamite his bitch.

Are you still with me? I’ve seen a lot of people say this was either Taehyung or Jin’s era, but I think I’ve also seen people show love to Hobi. Honestly, this is such a lovely song that I would agree with anyone’s opinions on who owned this era. It really comes down to who’s vocals hit you in the feels in that special way, and I can understand why any of the members would do that for someone in Life Goes On.

Jin: So, it’s kind of hard to hear in the studio version because the chorus is just everyone’s vocals layered on top of one another with shifting main vocals--which is fine because it’s supposed to feel like BTS, as a whole, is singing this song to ARMY--but Jin’s falsetto is heavenly in this song. He sings lower in his register, too, but I’m really drawn to how light and pretty his harmonies were. You can really hear it when he sings live, but regardless, Jin was awesome in Life Goes On. Even his lower tone brought a lot of character to the song.

Yoongi: Yoongi hits my heart in this song, man. I know he’s kind of rapping, but it comes off as singing, and it’s so beautiful. I could fall asleep to Yoongi’s voice in Life Goes On. It reminds me a lot of Namjoon’s part in Spring Day; we get a unique, melodic vocal tone within Life Goes On that we don’t normally hear in BTS’s music because Yoongi doesn’t usually sound like this. It’s so nice to have Yoongi on a part like this. I support soft Yoongi on future BTS singles. 100%.

Taehyung: Everyone sounds beautiful in Life Goes On, okay? Let me preface with that. However, Taehyung’s vocals really do support the tone of this song. It’s one of those tracks that’s supposed to sound peaceful and emotional, and it seems like Taehyung always ends up being the go-to vocalist for supporting that kind of music. I love everyone’s part in this song; Jin is very ethereal; Jimin is light and sharp; Jungkook sounds clear and smooth; Yoongi’s relaxing vocals are gorgeous; Namjoon brought in a lot of lovely bass; and Hobi kills the delivery of his melodies. There’s just something about the soul that comes with Taehyung’s voice in Life Goes On that gets me. The fact that he was the lead vocal at the very end, too, with the “I remember” lyric was such a good choice because the flip between his breathy, low vocal and his stunning falsetto runs closed the song out perfectly. It’s kind of like this was a fun song that everyone contributed to, and then Taehyung came in and added emotion on top of the warmth you get from everybody else. In my opinion, Taehyung owned this era because he felt like a special highlight within Life Goes On.

Why do BTS’s Japanese songs always hit so hard? I think the only difference between my ranking and the majority ranking is that Jungkook would probably be in it. I understand because I, too, thought Jungkook would be in this. However, upon further inspection, Jungkook isn’t actually in this song all that much. I mean, neither is Taehyung, to be fair, but Jin, Jimin, and Taehyung dominated the last--almost--minute and a half of the song, so. Here we are.

Taehyung: When I first listened to this, I thought, “Wow Taehyung doesn’t actually have a whole lot going on in this song.” However, I think his vocals do sort of anchor Film out in a way. It’s not like he had any sort of crazy vocalization going on, but Jin and Jimin were singing in a really raw way; it was a brilliant touch to convey the tone of the song, but it was desperation, not sadness. Taehyung’s vocal is where the complete story behind the song becomes clear because he adds the missing emotion. I don’t think Film out would’ve been as impactful had Taehyung not been given the parts he was given.

Jin: I mean, Jin killed it. The MV is definitely a Jin MV, but even the vocal features him really heavily. And I loved it. Jin always shines in their Japanese singles, and I think that’s because they’re always created to be emotional. Jin absolutely pulled that off in Film out. He played along the line of calm and tension beautifully, so his vocals definitely add much of the character to the song that we got in the final product.

Jimin: Jimin’s vocals were stunning, let me tell you. He sounded gorgeous. The high notes he was hitting, the tone he chose, the emotion he conveyed; Jimin owns his era, no questions asked. The harmonies he had with Taehyung and Jin in the last two lines? Shut up. Jimin was incredible in this song. It’s not very often that Jimin’s vocals stand out like this, so I’m glad he got the opportunity to be the vocal center, even though it was only for the last half of the song. It was so impactful to listen to him, so I knew this era was going to Jimin the second I listened to Film out.

Was I hella biased about this one? Yeah. Do I know who objectively owned this era? Yeah, it was supposed to be Jungkook. He’s the center of this song, obviously. I’d say the objective view of this era would be what I have, just ordered different. Taekook would probably switch positions for most people. That being said, this song is hard, y’all. Hobi said the recording process was easier than with Dynamite, but if that’s true, then the vocalists really upped their game because there’s C5s all over this track. It’s also repetitive, though, so that’s why it ended up being about who sounded the best, to me, up in that really high range. First, shoutout to Jimin because his vocal sounded really pretty on the pre-chorus, and his part in the chorus was awesome. Also, as an aside, the flirtiness in this song and in the MV had me on the floor, for real. I’ve not recovered.

Jungkook: As I said, I’m aware that this is a Jungkook song. When appealing to the Western market--as they are with an English song like Butter--BTS usually push Jungkook as the center more than they do in their Korean-language songs. Jungkook is my number three because there was really no one else it could’ve been. Which is both about Jungkook’s presence in the song and about how incredible he sounded. Butter, unlike Dynamite, really let Jungkook’s vocal tone pop. Not that Jungkook sounded bad in Dynamite--not at all--but Butter let Jungkook really shine. He got to put a little grit in his vocal, he got to belt; I mean, he sounded bomb.

Jin: Jin featuring more in Butter than in Dynamite has me living, you don’t understand. Y’all, Jin sounded so good in Butter. I could talk about every single line he had in Butter and tell you why he sounded stunning on every one of them. Like, the pre-chorus? Jin’s falsetto was beautiful. The middle line in the chorus when he sings “talk is cheap”? It’s iconic. The way he sings his part in the second verse? I mean, please. I know this is a lot about Jin being my number two because of his vocal, but isn’t that what this post is about? He was a king, you guys.

Taehyung: I don’t think it’s that much of a biased stretch to say that Taehyung owned this era. I mean, we can talk about the center or the amount of airtime or whatever you want, but Taehyung stands out the most, vocally, in Butter, and them’s the facts. No, I do not accept criticism. Jin is a close second, but man, Taehyung sounded so special, to me. I usually don’t catch incredible vocal takes on my first listen of a song because I’m trying to process the newness of it, but Taehyung’s vocal tone took my attention right away while I was watching the MV premiere. I’m not gonna talk about him being a baritone and hitting C5s again because it’s gonna sound like nagging, at this point, but when he goes up that high, he sounds stunning. Stunning. Not to mention, the dance-pop vibe to this song suits his vocal tone so well. Taehyung got to play with his vocal so much in Butter, it seems, that he produced an amazing vocal tone just for this song--and it’s amazing. Taehyung owns the era because--well, because his voice has, once again, devastated me.

I gotta be honest with this one and say that, for the first time, I didn’t walk away from a BTS era going “that member definitely owned this era for me.” After going through the song for the second time after its release, I got a good lock on who I think is the number one, but that still left the last two slots. Number three was the one I really had trouble with, though, because Yoongi did really well with his part--especially since he doesn’t usually sing--and Jungkook’s adlibs were amazing. The problem was that all the members felt equal in this era, and that doesn’t usually happen. So, I really had to analyze what it meant for someone to own an era, and I ended up with these three members because they had the most memorable vocals. Other people would probably include Jungkook instead of Jimin or Taehyung and maybe even Yoongi--which I get because I almost did the same--but this is what I thought was true for me.

Jimin: Jimin almost got beat out by Yoongi, but that was only for a second because I really listened to all the adlibs and embellishments Jimin was doing with his vocal in Permission to Dance, and it made me think he was the obvious choice for my number three. My first listen of this song made me think Jimin was the one that stuck out the most, and obviously, that view changed, but I still think Jimin was a foundational piece of Permission to Dance. His vocal did blend with the mix really well, but his vocal tone actually shone a lot during his parts despite that.

Taehyung: He just can’t help it, you know? If we’re talking about standout vocals, Taehyung’s voice is gonna clinch it nine times out of ten. Permission to Dance is bright and fun, and I thought Taehyung’s vocal brought a lot of warmth to it that isn’t there otherwise. His vocal filled out the song every time he sang--during his verse, the choruses, and the bridge. Rather than being a foundation through his full vocals, though, his vocal actually made him stand out more as a special piece. Also--and I don’t know if this makes sense--but Taehyung’s voice made the song seem happier, in a sense? I guess that would come down to the warmth I was talking about. Anyway, the bottom line is that Taehyung, not only filled out Permission to Dance, but lifted it up and made it even brighter.

Jin: No holds barred, Jin killed this era. Jin also made Permission to Dance sound fuller, but Jin’s vocal had the added quality of making the choruses sound more impactful. Besides that, though, this song was just made for Jin. That’s really what it is. Jin’s vocal tone sounds absolutely gorgeous in Permission to Dance. I don’t know if it’s because of the key or the genre or the melody or what, but Jin sounded so powerful and resonant, and it was obvious to me that he stuck out the most. I don’t know how many others would agree, but I really think Jin shone the brightest in the Permission to Dance era, which is why I had to give to him. 

Thus ends this post that took me two days to complete. I know Taehyung made it into nearly every top 3, but again, it’s just my honest opinion. I always gravitate to Taehyung’s vocal more than anything else because I find his vocal color to be so unique and special. However, BTS is special because of all seven members. I may not have put your favorite member on my list for a specific era or gave them a lower ranking than you thought they should get, but just know that I wouldn’t love BTS’s music as much as I do if any of the members were excluded. All of them kill it in different ways, and all of them have eras where they are undoubtedly the face of the song. And this post is only about the singles, mind you. We haven’t even talked about some of the best BTS songs of all time.

So, I hope you don’t find my opinions annoying, and I hope you share your opinions in the replies, whether it be because you think differently or because you agree with my unpopular choices. Even though I talked about why I think a certain member owns a certain era, I’m just explaining my thought process; I don’t want to change anyone’s mind on who they love in each era because that’s the beauty of ARMY and BTS. There’s so much to love, so I hope to see some love for all the members in response to this post. It was fun; thanks for reading.

Originally Ateez, BTS, and Stray Kids were going to be the only groups I included in this event but as I got closer and closer to today I was like “hm let’s just have fun with this” so I decided to add two more groups to the mix

Must be either Ateez, BTS, Stray Kids, Victon, or NCT (including WayV)

1-2 prompts per request (if you want more than that, please just send another request)

Can be any combination of prompts from any category (eg: smut 14 + fluff 3)

Can be a combination of members from the same group or different groups (eg: Jimin + Bang Chan/ Hendery+Seonghwa/ Seungsik+Hanse/ any other combo you like)

Please be patient with me as these things can take 3-7 days to write and post

I will not write smut for any members of NCT Dream as I do not feel comfortable doing so. Please be aware of this before requesting for anyone from NCT Dream

I reserve the right to deny any request that I do not feel comfortable completing without having to explain why

Follow this format (without the brackets): [Member(s) + Prompt(s) + any other notes you would like to add]

[lonelyapprehension]

I'd love a matchup for Undertale or an ut au please if that'd be okay! I'm a female and I like girls but a skeleboy is also fine since this is just ut

I'm a gemini and I am 5'5 with shoes on

I like music, animals, crafts and memes

I dislike loud noises, yelling, crowds

I'm surprisingly pretty quiet and shy, I tend to be stuck in my thoughts a lot so I usually have no idea what's happening around me. I don't have a lot of friends so I get very excited when I meet people!! I'm a little sassy and I'm always joking around, I'm rarely serious unless I'm helping other people. I try my best to be selfless and outgoing bt

people do make me incredibly nervous. I'm usually in my room with music on and I've been doing lots of art lately! It makes me very happy but I have little to no confidence about what I draw so I tend to keep it to myself- I've been told I'm very creative but I tend to suppress it because I don't want to disappoint people with what I make. I take naps a lot and I like giving people hugs.

I'm a bit weird with letting people touch me? It makes me VERY uncomfortable but if I trust someone enough to date them I'd be fine curling up on top of them to take a nap 👉👈 I'm big anxiety and depresso but I forget I have social anxiety or convince myself I'm over it and throw myself into social situations and then go "o h n O how do I do this???????????"

into making art and into my relationships, I try to do things for my friends and talk to them about stuff that's bugging them as a distraction. I always seem to know when something is bothering someone and it tends to freak people out. If I feel someones upset or something is off I'll sit with said person and let them vent or just chill with them and being able to help makes me so happy! I have 3 geckos and would like to get snakes, tarantulas, and fish in the future ! I don't have fish rn though because I'd need Big Tank and filtration and heat and trying 2 clean a fishtank would MURDER my spine right now (scoliosis gang)

I do a lot of stuff to fuck with people. I have a list of stupid and feral things I've done that can be acquired. But one of them was that I made a meme themed monopoly 4 business class when I was in high school and managed 2 look my business teacher in the eye with a straight face as Barry b Benson sat there on the board. I had made little Pepe players n everything.

I went to his board a lot and wrote a good chunk of the bee movie script there

OK lastly I'm a science nerd (specifically biology and chem), I wanna be a nurse to help people and hopefully make a very stressful time a bit easier for people

I believe that nothing is permanent and I believe that with a bit of love and care anyone can be a good person 👉👈 I just think it's really important to be there for people and I hope I can make people feel loved. I make ppl friendship bracelets,,

I'm sorry this was so long!! I do be rambling

--------------

it's fine i type like the adhd person i am!!! rambiling is perfectly fine on this blog. we support rambling here

for undertale i match you with...hound! (swapfell? fellswap? my aus are mixed up my guy)

this,,,himbo. you have anxiety? he knows how it feels and will listen to you for hours man. legit anything. you wanna recite the bee movie script you madlad? go ahead. you wanna talk about your gekko gecko babies? he's there to listen. you just wanna ramble about nothing? about character arcs? about how annoying loud noises are?? he's there 4 u

and he's a not loud papy! so you get tall AND chill... sorry, tall, chill and knows memes. ooh baby a triple

he's perfectly fine if you don't wanna b touched at the beginning of the relationship. like he's understanding and will show you affection in other ways.

for percy jackson i match you with...piper!

look. we been done know she's super fine with the memes. she knows leo for heck's sake. she will wear whatever you make her. "but it might clash with your outfit" she doesn't care you made it for her and she will die with it on.

if she catches just a glimpse of your art she won't shut up about it for the next week. like on god. she wants you to know that it's awesome!!! art takes a while!!!! be proud of the grind!!!

she'll also be fine with the touch thing, and will also show affection in other ways. like those compliments? never end. ever. she loves you and wants you to see her how she sees you. she loves the babbbabbies too. she went to wilderness school of course she's fine with animals

[sugakookielix]

Hi, thank you so much for my last ship! Could I request a life with bts member ship now? You shipped me with Yoongi :)

Pronouns: she/her

Personality: I’m a virgo and an isfj. I’m introverted, sensitive, and pretty lazy/unmotivated unless I care about something. When I do care, I’m super passionate and hardworking. It takes a long time for me to feel comfortable with someone but once I do, my true talkative self comes out and I’m very loyal. Some of the things that are important to me include family, mental health (I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety), animals, the environment, and justice. I have an equal love for staying at home and being comfy and going out on adventures and exploring. I love being in nature, traveling and learning about different cultures, dancing to kpop choreography, going to concerts, watching Netflix in bed, hanging out with my kitten, and eating. I’m also into true crime and mystical stuff like tarot, crystals and astrology. I dislike arrogance, rudeness, and dirty/messy environments. I’m a writer professionally and it’s my dream to travel the world and have a wide range of experiences to learn from.

Appearance: I’m Asian American and have long wavy black/pink ombré hair. I wear mostly neutral colors and a lot of black. My style is on the edgier side but I also just tend to wear whatever’s comfortable, and I wear activewear a lot too.

My bias is Yoongi! I don’t really have a favorite color...maybe blue or purple? Something on the cooler side. And neutrals like black/gray/white. For dresses I love floral lace, especially when the flowers kind of come up the bottom and lead to a more plain top of that makes sense? And strapless. I want 2-3 kids.

Thanks again!! 💕

______________________________________

Thank you so much for your patience love! Hopefully you enjoy your ship!

Who I ship you with: 

You are a relaxed and laid back couple and you wouldn’t have it any other way. You balance him out perfectly and yet also force him away from his comfort zone at times, just enough to keep the relationship exciting. Yoongi doesn’t have a lot of free time, but if you try hard enough you can convince him to leave the studio for a few hours to go exploring with you. Yoongi is a very subtle partner, and he won’t be one to say he loves you often, but you know he does. You can trust that you are always safe and that you will always have a support system in him. He understands how hard life can be and can provide advice or a shoulder to cry on depending on what you need. Cuddle dates, though rare, would be a must. Just you, him, and sometimes your kitten, snuggled in bed together watching movies. Bonus points if you agree to wear one of his shirts during the date. 

His favorite things about you: Your loyalty, your appearance, your love of exploring, when you are passionate about something

First date: Would depend on the season and how comfortable the two of you are with each other. You two would either attend a concert together, or just spend time at home watching movies. Or potentially both. (Your choice)

How long you are together: While it may take a while to enter your relationship, you would be confident in your love and loyalty towards each other immediately. It would be be between 3-5 years before you get married depending on how fast you are comfortable with going. 

Your wedding: A small and intimate wedding set in the late spring, not too hot and not too cold. It would be an all outdoor wedding in the evening with an outdoor reception as well. The guests would consist only of close family and friends. The color scheme would be mostly traditional, such as whites, with the outdoor scenery providing more color. It would be a mix between a traditional Korean and more modern/western style wedding. The best of both worlds. Yoongis vows and speech would likely be on the shorter side and to the point, but still very meaningful. It is clear that he put a lot of thought and effort into them beforehand. Also likely wrote a song for you that he would want playing when you had your first dance as a married couple. Even if he is someone who struggles a bit with showing his emotions at times, you can bet that he will be showering you with little displays of affection with his gummy smile never leaving. Both the ceremony and reception, while sweet, likely wouldn’t last too long as you both just wanted to spend the night alone as a married couple. 

Wedding dress:

Children: You wouldn’t want children until you were sure you were ready to settle down. Since he still had his passion for music and you still wanted to travel the world. Once you did settle down though you would fully commit to your family. You would have two sons and a daughter, each at least two years apart.

40. Weirdest thing to ever happen at your school? - Okay so the school built this massive fucking ventilator system for the gym cause it was always balls hot in there or freezer burn cold, so that was fine. Well, lots of students smoked weed in the back of the gym where no one can see you unless they're Looking for you. I'm sure you can tell where this is going already. So, one day after the ventilators are finished and everything is back to normal, some kids smoked weed in the gym and well... It ended up reaching Every Goddamn Part of the school.

56. Favorite tradition? - I'm not sure if there are any traditions I like. Most of them like Christmas gatherings, Thanksgiving meals, and things like that had me surrounded by racist, homophobic, transphobic people. People that I barely knew and was forced to be around and hug and talk to despite my being perfectly fine with only talking to close family or to no one at all. If I had to choose one, I'd say my family's tradition of yearly crawfish boils with the family. That was actually fun, and plus crawfish... Yum. We haven't done crawfish boils as much since my aunt died, but I hope we do more in the future.

70. Left handed or right handed? - Mixed-handed. If you don't know what that is, it's just favoring one hand for certain tasks, and the other for others whereas ambidextrous is beinf able to use either hand effeciently for the same task. For example, I write with my right hand, but I can use my mouse better eith my left. Though, I tend to use my right for that too.

72. Worst subject? - P.e. I have very limited energy as it is so. Being graded on that shit? Yuck.

BTS Imagine: Insecure - Yoongi

“Happy anniversary, sweetheart.” Yoongi gives you his signature little smile as he taps his slurpee cup against yours. He had been seriously doubtful about the idea, but now he was nearly 1/3 of the way done with his drink and his tongue was stained a light blue.    You laugh and lean in to kiss his cheek. “Is 2 months really a big-deal celebration sort of anniversary?”    He gestures to your surroundings: you’re cuddled up on the couch together, a silly movie queued up, takeout cartons waiting, blankets and pillows piled in a half-made fort. “It’s at least as grand as this.” He grins, soaking up your giggle, relishing it. “Honestly, I’ve been looking forward to this all day.”    There’s something in his voice that catches your attention. You study him for a moment: his gaze has drifted, settling absently on the cartons of food---he’s worried about something. Nudging his leg aside so you can curl against him (which he allows with an immediate faint smile), you rest your head on his chest. “Which part is the biggest right now?”    He exhales carefully, wrapping his free arm around you tightly. “There’s a lot of pressure for this album,” he starts slowly. “We need to match the expectations the last one set, and it’s...” His grip tightens slightly on the slurpee cup.    “The songs you guys have so far are great,” you encourage softly, tracing his collarbone with your fingers. “Especially that one you wrote for you and Jungkook.”    “We need 7 more to make the complete album we want.” He leans forward, shifting both of you in his movement, and sets his drink on the coffee table, rubbing his now-free hand across his forehead in agitation. “I’ve got a few, Namjoon’s got a bunch---but none of them are ready-ready. Hoseok’s trying, but most of his stuff went to the last mixtape...Jungkook is right on the edge, but he still needs too much guidance, and we...we don’t have time.”    You reach up and pull his hand away from his forehead, lacing your fingers through his. “Is the date set, then?” He nods miserably and you bring his knuckles to your lips. “That’s still a lot of time, darling,” you remind him. When he tries to shake his head at this, you squeeze his hand. “No, it is.” You sit up a little to see him better and set your own slurpee on the table; he meets your gaze, clearly hoping you can help him work his way out of this one. One side of your mouth twists up in a fond little smile. “Oh, my genius,” you say softly, reaching out to touch the side of his face. “You are going to be great, like always, because you always put your heart into it and your heart is something special.”    The tops of his cheeks flush, but he doesn’t speak; you can see some of the wild edge to his eyes fade and know he’s feeling better.    “I’m sorry you’re worried. Should we schedule writing time this weekend?”    He looks at you guiltily. “We were supposed to spend all our time together this weekend...”    “Can I sit by you while you write?” you ask directly.    “Of course.”    You snuggle back into his side. “Then that’s exactly what I want to do this weekend.”    He doesn’t answer, but you can feel his lips on your hair. Arm still wrapped around you tight, he lingers for a long time, giving himself time to calm down. You wait patiently, and when you can feel him start to settle, his breathing returning to normal, you turn and kiss the hollow of his throat. He thaws at this gesture, a half smile crossing his face.    “So are we really watching this terrible movie, with these terrible drinks, and that terrible takeout food?” he asks, reaching for the TV remote.    You snort. “So is that the theme of our 2 month anniversary? The Terrible 2?”    He pauses to look right down at you, still half-smiling. His face is so open, so vulnerable and filled with wonder, like he still can’t believe what he’s seeing. He leans down and kisses your forehead. “Thank you,” he murmurs against your skin.    You cup his face gently when he pulls back. “I got you, sugar.” You say something serious in a teasing way, knowing it’s what he needs, then snuggle against him, pulling your favorite blanket over you. “Plus, this movie can’t be that terrible...can it?”    Re-energized, he leans forward to get the cartons of food and the bright-colored drinks. “It had better be---it is our Terrible 2nd Anniversary.”    The movie was terrible, the food was okay, and the drinks were still a mixed bag, but by the time everything had finished, you were exhausted. You had drifted off a few times towards the end of the movie; Yoongi had always made sure that your slurpee didn’t spill all over you, made sure you were warm and covered with a blanket, made sure your hair was out of your face, made sure to wake you up for the funniest parts, and, now that the movie was over, it was time for him to make sure you got to bed. Ignoring your faint protests that you could ‘stay up for hourrssss,’ he scoops you into his arms and carries you carefully down the hall and into your room.    “You are not wide-awake like a baby owl,” he dismisses your drowsy claim in a half laugh, settling you gently on the bed. “You need your sleep, baby.” He disappears into the bathroom and brings out your makeup bag and his. You thank him with a brief kiss and allow him to help you take your makeup off, brush your hair, cleanse/tone/moisturize your face. You fall back against the pillows while he’s halfway finished with his.    “You’re going to stay, right?” you ask with a small grin and slight pout. “How else would I be able to protect you from the monsters?”    He scoops up both makeup bags and takes them back to their places. Smiling down at you, he pulls the covers up to your chin and brushes your hair back from your face gently. “I expect top level security, then.”    “Of course,” you grin, already settling back in your spot; your eyes felt so heavy. Your grin increases to a giggle as he climbs across the bed, purposefully clumsy, and snuggles in at your side.    “Do I get a pillow to hug?” he asked, examining your small menagerie of stuffed animals.    You roll over and give him a look, spreading your arms in an obvious gesture. The gummy-grin explodes over his face and he reaches out for you, pulling you against him and pressing little kisses all over your face. “You’re sleepy, remember,” he says in between the attack. “Get some rest.”    Laughing, you weather his affection-attack happily and he finally lets you be. You’re lying snugly against his side, head on his chest, one leg hooked over his, and your eyes are starting to close again. He turns off the light. You reach up, meaning to kiss his cheek, but manage to only graze his jaw. “I know you’re nervous,” you begin drowsily, “But everything will be great. I know your work ethic and your heart and everything else. It’s going to be amazing, baby, I just know it.”    He’s running his hand through your hair softly. “I believe you, sweetheart. Whatever you say goes.”    “Good.” You’re still trying to fight sleep.    “Just sleep, precious girl,” he says softly, kissing your forehead again. “Just let it go and sleep.”    You close your eyes all the way and the room gets quiet. You haven’t stirred for a while, and your breathing is deep and even. Heart in his throat, Yoongi places another kiss on your temple, but this time breathes: “I love you.”    Even though he thinks you’re asleep, there’s a part of him that hopes you heard, that is convinced you heard---that your subconscious accepted his whispered words without question. He looks down at you, still sleeping, still peaceful, and smiles. He snuggles in against you and drifts off, feeling a strange sense of accomplishment.    The next morning, he has the day off but you still have a plan to meet friends for an early breakfast, so you slip out of bed as quietly as possible and get dressed. He’s still sleeping when you’re done, but fitfully now, missing your presence. You glance at your watch---and then decide that some things matter more than others. You climb onto the bed, sitting next to him, and stroke his hair, leaning down to kiss his forehead. “Sleep, baby,” you say softly, “I’ll be back soon.” He relaxes a little at your touch, but doesn’t wake up. You smile, kiss his cheek softly, and then climb out of bed, making sure he’s surrounded by pillows and covered in blankets before you go.    When you get home, he’s already set up in the living room, sitting on the floor in front of the couch with headphones on, laptop and keyboard spread across the coffee table. From the state of the room, you could tell he had been there for a while. You glance at the clock and go to the kitchen, quietly make him a cup of his favorite hot chocolate, and move back towards him. He’s so immersed in his work, he hasn’t realized you were there yet. You set the cup near his hand, smiling wide when he looks up at you. The smile crosses his face automatically, and you crouch down and gently remove his headphones. “Hi there, my genius. Have you eaten anything today?”    He stretches up to kiss you and shrugs. “I ate this morning. How are you? You left without saying goodbye this morning...”    “I said goodbye,” you correct, settling on the floor next to him. “You were just so tired, you didn’t realize.” You take a cursory glance at the screen, feeling a little bit of relief to see it filled with the beginnings of a new song.    He nods slowly, then reaches out suddenly and pulls you onto his lap. Snuggling his face into your neck, he murmurs, “I’m glad you’re back. Are you here for the rest of the day?”   “Yep. That was the plan we made last night, right?”   He smiles against your skin. “Yeah. And last night....” he trails off, waiting for something.    “Last night was great,” you fill in, turning to kiss his ear. “Best Terrible 2nd Anniversary ever!” He chuckles, but you can tell he’s still waiting for something, so you add, “I’m so lucky to have you, Yoongi.” You twist in his arms, put a hand on either side of his face, and kiss him. He responds immediately even though there’s a tiny bit of hesitation, like he’s still waiting for something, for you to say something, or do something, or acknowledge something... Finally, you pull away, laughing as you have to smooth some of his hair that got ruffled. “Now. Writing time.”   He studies you for a second longer, then nods. “Yes.” He begrudgingly lets you climb out of his embrace, but doesn’t turn back to his work until you are settled next to him, your own laptop on your knees while you get some work done.   He writes for hours. It isn’t that different from what he would have usually done, except he’s home and you get to be with him the whole time---that’s different enough for you. You get some work done, you watch a few episodes of a trashy TV show, you nap, you read. When the little line starts to appear between his eyebrows, you take him on a little stroll down to the corner store for some snacks, you make him eat, you kiss him, anything to distract him. It is a pretty near-perfect day.   At 6:45pm, you get a call from a work friend who had to go out of town last minute and can’t find anyone else to check on their pet. You make a face at Yoongi, but agree quickly. He pulls off his headphones as you get to your feet. “What’s the matter, sweetheart?”   You shrug and pull your coat on. “I’m going to go check on my friend’s dog. Do you want to come with?”   He hedges, not wanting to disappoint you but unable to leave in the middle of his inspiration. “Um...”    “It’s okay. I’ll be right back.” You go back to him and lean down, meaning to kiss his cheek, but he turns and catches your lips instead. You straighten, smiling.   “Be safe,” he says seriously, his hand on the back of your calf, holding you in place.   “I will.” There’s a pause, and it’s like he’s waiting for you to say something, or debating whether he should say something, and you want to help him out, but you’re not sure what’s happening. “...When I get back, can I hear what you have so far?”   He nods wordlessly and squeezes your leg, then lets you go, turning back to his work. You smile faintly and leave. It takes you longer than expected and when you get home, Yoongi’s stuff is sitting neatly in a pile on the coffee table, shut down for the night. You find him in your room, sitting on the edge of the bed.    “Hi baby,” you say happily, tackling him back onto the bed. “Did you finish already??”    He pulls you on top of him. “For today, yeah.”    “Did you get some good work done?”    “Yeah.”    You wait for him to expound, but nothing else comes. “Oh. Good. Can I hear some of it tomorrow?”   He shifts uneasily, but smiles at you and plants a kiss on the tip of your nose.   You smile and lay your head on his chest. “You’re staying tonight?”    “I---yeah, if....if that’s okay?”   “Of course!!” You hug him tight and bite back the words you actually want to say: Please stay forever. “I’m going to go wash my face,” you add, trying to squirm out of his arms. He holds you tighter, tickling your sides, and doesn’t release you until you’re breathless with laughter. He’s waiting for you when you’re done, still awake, but not in a chatty mood. You try a few times to talk to him about his work and worries, but he brushes it aside, and eventually you give up. He’s probably tired, you think. But there’s something else, some intangible pulling away that you can’t help but notice. Before you can worry about it too much, he rolls over and tucks you against him.    “Goodnight, my girl,” he breathes into your ear. “I---I’m glad you’re here with me.” He presses his lips to your cheek and snuggles in, already drifting off.    “Goodnight,” you whisper back. Love you love you love you.    The next morning, you wake up together and he mutters that he needs to go in to the office that day, finish up some stuff. You spend your day catching up on some of the errands you didn’t get to yesterday, meet your friends for lunch, check on your coworker’s dog. A little after 2pm, you call him.    “Hi sweetheart.”    “Hi!” You can’t help it: your lips automatically twist into a smile at the sound of his voice. “How’s it going?”    “Pretty good,” he says evasively. “How are you doing?”    “Good. Did you eat? I just got back from lunch with the girls.”    “Oh. Oh, no, I’m good. Getting a lot of work done here.”    You bite your nail: something’s off. “That’s great, baby. Are you feeling better about it?”    “Mmhmm. Oh, I’ve got to go, sorry, love. I’ll see you later, okay?”    “Okay. Be safe.”    He sighs, barely perceptibly. “Yeah. You, too.” He hangs up quickly.    When it’s time for him to come home and you don’t see him, you send him a quick text: Hey--are you done with work yet?   The response comes 10 minutes later: Still working. Probably going to be here late, gonna head back to the dorms when I finally get done so I don’t bug you, ok?    You sit back and look at your phone for a long time. “No,” you say to yourself. “Not okay.” But you text him back a thumbs-up and heart anyway, and get ready for bed by yourself. You stay up til midnight, hoping to hear from him, hopelessly hoping he would walk in the door by surprise. Nothing.    The next morning, you wake up fairly early to a text from him: Good morning, sweetheart. Have a good day. You feel your stomach twist, but before you can call him like you want to do, a call from work interrupts your thoughts and you’re sucked into a last-minute project.    At lunch, you finally get a second to yourself. “Yoongi. How’s it going??”    He sounds exhausted. “It’s all right, baby. What are you up to?”   “I got called into work,” you pout. “But I’m hopefully going to be done pretty soon. What about you? Are you gonna be finished earlier tonight?”   He hesitates again. “I...I don’t know.”   “Is everything okay?”   “Yes.” It’s a lie and you both know it.   The sight of your distressed coworker ends your lunch early. “Okay, look, I’ll see you later, okay sugar? I’ve gotta get back to work.”    “Okay. I lo--” He cuts himself off, and there’s a long pause. When you don’t speak, a soft rustle of a sigh cuts across the line. “I’ll see you later,” he agrees, and the call ends.    Your stomach feels hollow. As soon as you get off work, you head straight for his studio. You’re surprised to find the door partly open, and you can hear the sound of voices from inside.    “I don’t think you’re seeing this clearly.” One of the people in the studio is Hoseok. You hesitate, then lean against the doorway so you can listen.    Yoongi sighs (you’d know his voice anywhere). “We’re only 2 months in,” he says solemnly. “I’m the crazy one, not her. So I just need to, you know....pull back a little.”    “Do you...” Hoseok’s voice gets softer and you strain to hear. “Do you love her?”    “Yes.”    His answer comes so fast it knocks the breath out of you. You put a hand over your mouth to keep quiet. The conversation inside the studio goes on:    “--not crazy,” Hoseok is saying. “When you feel it, you feel it, right?” There’s no answer. “What’s the worst thing that could happen? If you tell her? I mean, when she’s awake and really listening,” he adds, and it’s clear he’s smiling.   “It could push her away,” Yoongi answers dully.   “You don’t think she loves you?”   You hear the creak of his work chair; his answer sounds agitated, just like the chair: “I think....she might love me, but the problem is that I love her more. I am ahead in this game, have been since the very beginning.”    Hoseok lets out a frustrated noise. “And what’s wrong with that?? Being ‘ahead’ is what got you guys started, right? If you hadn’t made the first move, the two of you would probably still be sharing secret smiles and thinking too hard about text messages.”    You feel yourself blush, but you know it’s true.   So does Yoongi. “But it’s not the same,” he says quietly. “Because I could lose her if I move too fast.”    “I don’t think you give her enough credit, hyung,” Hoseok answers. You can hear him stand up. “And anyways, you can’t live this split life: holding back from her and then writing stuff like this.” He hits a key and music spills into the hall. It’s beautiful. “It is for her, isn’t it? That’s going to be confusing for both of you.”    There’s a long stretch of silence. Eventually you hear Hoseok sigh.    “You really went home last night, instead of going to see her?”    “I didn’t leave here until 4am!” Yoongi defends.    “She doesn’t care.” Hoseok sounds like he’s done. “My advice? Don’t do that today.”    Yoongi mumbles something you can’t hear, so you lean against the doorframe to hear a little better---and at that exact moment, Hoseok appears in the doorway. You stumble back. His face goes pale. He opens his mouth to say something, but you grab his arm and yank him out into the hallway.   He stares down at you. “How much did you hear?”   “I don’t know.” You’re still flustered. “Quite a bit?”    “Go easy on him.”    You look up at him, mouth open in surprise. “I...Hobi, no, it’s--I’m---”    Something crosses his face and he smiles suddenly even though he’s still pale. “Ok ok ok,” he says, and gives you a little shove towards the door. “Don’t talk to me anymore.”   You give him a look, but step slowly into the studio. You don’t make Hoseok’s mistake: you stop to close the door behind you.    “I don’t know that---” Yoongi turns in his chair, obviously thinking he’d still see Hoseok. When he finds you instead, he freezes.   “Hi baby,” you say lamely.   “Hi.” He reaches up to fidget with the hair behind his ears and gets slowly to his feet. “I...I didn’t know you were coming here.” His brows twitch in concern. “Is everything okay? Are you okay?” He takes an involuntary step towards you.    He loves me, he loves me, he loves me. “Yes,” you say, trying to keep your heart in check. “Everything’s fine. I just...I needed to see you.”    This makes him smile, even though the little line between his eyebrows is starting to show. He holds his hand out to you. “I’m glad,” he says evenly.    You slip your hand into his and he rubs his thumb over your knuckles gently. You’re not sure how to bring it up. “I saw Hoseok in the hall.” His hand goes very still in yours.    “Ah.” He is looking down at your connected hands, and the quiet persists for a long moment. Finally, he takes a breath that sounds painful and pulls you a little closer. He says your name softly, but he sounds upset.    You cut across him. “How come you didn’t come home last night? Is everything okay?”    He exhales a shaky sort of laugh. “I didn’t come home last night...” he begins. “Because I was scared.”    This isn’t at all what you expected him to say. You reach out and softly try to smooth the wrinkle between his eyebrows. “Why?”   He takes a deep breath. “I’m scared because we have only been dating for 2 months. I’m scared because you are the first thing I think about when I wake up. I’m scared because I can’t fall asleep without you next to me. I’m scared because when I’m with you, everything feels fine.” He slowly wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you to him. “I’m scared because I....I love you.”    Your heart explodes in your chest. Even though you’d had advanced warning, you weren’t prepared for how much hearing him say those words would affect you. “And that scares you because....I’m scary?”    Caught off guard, he gives you a look. “What? No. I---” Seeing the nervous laugh on the edge of your expression, he closes his eyes briefly, then opens them and rests his forehead against yours. “Don’t make this harder than it already is,” he chastises lightly. “It’s scares me because I don’t want to scare you off.”    “Scare me off?” you repeat. He nods slowly and you can see how nervous he is now, you can feel him holding you tighter in an effort to control the way his hands wanted to shake. Taking a small breath, you lean forward and kiss him softly. When you break apart, his eyes are still closed. You smile. “Oh Yoongi. I love you too much to be scared off.”    His eyes fly open. “You---” He wants to verify but already the joy is spreading across his face. He breathes your name, still smiling, but suddenly the expression disappears. “I don’t want you to feel like you have to say it back just because I said it first. I--I mean, I don’t want you to feel pressured---”    You cut him off again. “No pressure. Just truth.” You carefully wrap your arms around his neck. “I’m sorry you ever had cause to doubt it.”    He laughs softly and brings one hand up to rest on the side of your face while he kisses you. “Don’t you dare. I’m just sorry that I didn’t say it sooner.”    “Mm,” you agree, twisting a few strands of his hair around your finger. “You really should have said it on our 2 month anniversary. That would have made more sense.”    He leans in to kiss you again; inches from your lips he murmurs, “I did.”    “What?? When?” You pull back to look up at him.   For some reason this makes him smile even more. “I said it while you were falling asleep. I thought you probably heard me...”   “While I was asleep?” you repeat. “Min Yoongi, you know that I sleep like the dead!”    “I’m sorry, sweetheart,” he replies, trying to look ashamed but failing miserably: his smile is still too wide. He gently pushes your hair out of your face. “I promise I’ll make it up to you.”    You’re even worse at faux-anger than he was at faux-shame. “Oh really?”    He nods, locks eyes with you, and says quietly, “I love you.”    The butterflies explode across your entire stomach, spilling into your lungs, and tickling all the way down to your toes. “Okay,” you agree. “Now it’ll only take you about 9.9 trillion times to make up for it.”    “That sounds fair.” He presses his lips to the corner of your mouth, then whispers against your skin: “I love you.”

Burn the Stage Movie Review

Please don’t read this if you do not want spoilers about the movie. This is a review about my thoughts about BTS’ Burn the Stage (the movie, not the series on YouTube). I’ve also seen the YouTube series so I’ll do a quick comparison of the two. I highly recommend watching both! They both give different feelings!!

The best parts

-Seeing snippets of the behind-the-scenes of their lives -> You get to see the silly parts of BTS, the hard work they put into their concerts, the little free time they actually get, their brotherhood and friendship etc. I really liked seeing how Yoongi explained that though he likes making music, it can be a chore too. That’s very real.

-Being able to understand a bit more about how the industry works -> I find that part where Bang PD reminds them that they need to be happy to be sad and frustrating. It makes me feel like they’re half being commercialized/programmed to have to constantly feel happy to please the fans or to do their “work”. It’s sort of like what Namjoon mentions at the very end of the movie. He speaks of an illusion that they (BTS) might have created for the fans; this was how it was translated in English. It might have been different in Korean. That makes me think . . . about this “illusion”. 

I mean, if you think about it, every time a member cries during a concert or doesn’t smile as much, all the fans start going into a panic mode, question who’s responsible for this sadness, etc. That made me think . . . isn’t sadness part of our lives too? Why is it that we expect BTS to constantly be happy? No one is always happy; that’s the truth. 

Somehow, I suddenly realized that maybe we have been imposing an illusion on them or maybe taking away a normal emotion that we experience from time to time. There are days when I don’t want to get out of bed or that I’m frustrated because this doesn’t work out or that I just feel lonely, and on those days, I don’t smile or look happy. I’m sure everyone has had those days too, so that makes me wonder . . . why do a lot of us just jump to all these conclusions? Why can’t a lot of us accept that, well, they’re like us and might have just had one of those feelings I mentioned?

 I also find it really sad that Bang PD has to remind the members to consider their own happiness, probably because they give so much to the fans and work so hard that they forget that they have to take care of their health!! I’m glad mental health is something that’s still emphasized at BigHit. That, I appreciate.

-Listening to each members’ thoughts at the very end of the movie -> It was refreshing to be able to hear each members’ opinions about what BTS is about. I also loved being able to understand what the fans mean to BTS and how they feel overall about how far they’ve come. At the end of the day, like Jimin says, they are still true to themselves. Like what Namjoon says, we’re all bound by fate--BTS and ARMY. 

The parts that could have been improved

-The narrator’s voice -> I’m very picky with voices, so this is a biased point. However, I would find the movie to be EVEN better if the narration were done by all of the BTS members. I’d find the lines to be even more touching and less like an animal/historical documentary where things feel more like stated facts. I think a 3rd party’s narration really takes away from that intimate, raw feeling I got from the YouTube series. This movie felt more . . . like there was a distance between the fans and BTS, in a way. I can’t really describe it well. Sorry, but I think you’ll understand once you watch both and feel the difference.

-Some of the editing of the movie -> I appreciated seeing the behind-the-scenes of the members. Yes, I did tear up whenever I saw one of the members hurt. However, I felt like just when we’re about to feel more of our emotions when we see the members injured or in contemplation or there’s just some overall sad tone, the editor decides to snip off to the next scene and then just move on. I guess in a way, you can say that that’s how BTS is forced to deal with their pain or emotions. They just have to move onto the next venue, but it would have been nice to stay like at least 20 more seconds with the instrumental playing in the back for us to have those emotions sink in!!

 -More little interviews from BTS -> I would have loved to have seen more of the members talking about their lives etc. Like the YouTube series. I get that this is more like a documentary, but somehow I just felt that slight distance between BTS and us fans from the movie and that lack of rawness. Sorry, I wish I could explain things better again, but I think for those that have seen both, you’ll get what I mean.

Overall thoughts/reflection

I teared up at probably what people would consider, the most random moments, but I have reasons for crying during those seemingly trivial points during the movie. The first time I teared up was when they were touring the States and they were travelling in the van. I started getting the feels when Hobie suggested they bail the clothing store they wanted to visit due to the long line. I felt sad because they probably don’t have time to line up and they don’t want to gather more of a crowd. It’s their alone time, so naturally they’d want to be able to enjoy that without having to be “on call”. When I really cried was when one of the members had gotten two bags of hot dogs and all of the boys were genuinely so excited as if those hot dogs were Michelin star meals. Why did I cry?

It hit me that BTS are just like us and that the more extraordinary you become, the more ordinary you wish to be. Us? Most of us are what we’d consider “ordinary” compared to BTS based on our society’s view on success, yet we strive to be extraordinary. I find the irony to be a mixed bag of emotions. BTS is touched when they are able to roam on the streets. I cried when Jungkook got out of the van and said, “Well at least we get to walk around.” How many times do we get to stroll around a place freely or just walk around without anyone staring or caring? How easy is it for us to buy some hot dogs from a stand or go line up at a popular store to get goods? Somehow, we seem to forget that these “ordinary” moments are extraordinary for these boys and maybe we forget that these “extraordinary” people want to be treated like “ordinary” people or want to live like “ordinary” people during their downtime. 

Another point of reflection was when I saw how hard the boys worked and thought about the amount of effort I’ve put towards my own dreams. The boys rarely complain even when they’re sleeping so little. You see that they’re still up at 4 am or Yoongi mentions that rehearsal somehow goes till 3 am and then they have to get up at like 6 am or 8 am. Myself? When I don’t get enough sleep, I definitely complain and groan. It’s not like I don’t put effort into my work; it’s that when compared to them, I feel like I really have no reason to complain. When they’re working so hard and still having to smile, really, what is there for me to whine about? 

From this movie, I’ve learned to appreciate my “ordinary” life. I realize that stardom really is a double-edged sword and I’m perfectly fine being unknown. I don’t think I’d be able to handle the pressure of having to be “perfect” on stage and not have to disappoint fans. I really admire how they’re able to handle stress at such a young age. We forget . . . they’re all only in their early to mid 20s, a time when most of us probably make a lot of blunders and are still trying to find our spot, yet they have to always be on their game.

What I wish for BTS after seeing this film -> I hope they find time to rest, to be “ordinary” and to stay healthy. If they need a break, just let them have one. IF they don’t post so often on Twitter, that’s fine too. If they want to cry, just let them cry quietly and not ask for reasons or trend it online. (Honestly, who wants the whole world to know that they’ve been crying????) If they’re not always doing fan service, that’s okay. No one can be doing aegyo all the time. If you happen to see them roaming the streets, don’t stalk them. Let them go, be free, and enjoy life like us. If they gain a bit of weight or have lost weight, don’t keep bugging them about it. Don’t we all get self-conscious when others remind us of our weight? If their skin doesn’t seem perfect, let it go. We all get breakouts. We all have imperfections. If they get tanned, let that go too. Don’t we all get tanned during the summer and why even whitewash their lovely natural skin tone? If they’re wearing stuff that’s not so fashionable, who cares too? Don’t we all have those exam days where we’re in gross hoodies and sweats? If they have partners, respect them and their choices and let them date, please. How can they write love songs if they’ve never experienced love? If they don’t break the next record, that’s fine too. We still love them anyway. We know how hard they’ve worked and that’s enough. They can lean on us. If they fall, we’ll be there to catch them and pick them right up.

Five things tag

I was tagged by Queen @jingertonic thanx babe

5 things you’ll find in my bag:

My Mobile - I’m a millennial... Who leaves home WITHOUT one nowadays. It’s a Samsung S9 and I love it and cherish it cuz It’s the last phone my mother will get me so you bet your ass I take care of it like my baby... OH, I also carry my old phone cuz I find it a bit easier to play BTS superstar with that model. The edge screen of the S9 makes it a PAIN to play that game. 

My earphones - When I had a job I used to carry two, one Bluetooth and the other wired BUT now my jobless ass just carries the wired one... also because the Bluetooth earplugs broke(?) and I patch them together with scotch tape and now it itches whenever I used them but MY JOBLESS ASS has no money for new Bluetooth earplugs. The bright side is that I prefer to use the wired earplugs when I work out cuz they don't fall.

My keys - both car keys and house keys. Each has a really cute panda keychain (I love pandas). I hate my house keys cuz they’re so many and bulky, also my mum bought me this whistle ( I call it the rape whistle and she says is for emergencies in general) that BY THE WAY doesn’t work that well but I can’t find myself throwing it away anytime soon... My car keys are a whole different story, I keep losing them every year and when I replace them I FIND THEM SOMEWHERE IN MY ROOM.

My goodie bag - Tampons, pads, eye drops, my Eucerin (OG) lip balm, my tinted lip balm, lighter, period painkillers, antibacterial gel, band-aids, Advil and a spare hair tie (YES I’M THE MUM FRIEND).

My wallet ofc - I have this really cute wallet (it’s really Gucci) but I usually just use my card holder cuz that’s the one I take to uni.

5 things you’ll find in my room:

My bed - This is a big deal, mainly because I am V E R Y specific with home decor (I still have boxes for years later because I haven’t found the perfect shelf) I spent like a year with only a mattress until I found T H E perfect bed in this antique shop, I restored it and its now the centrepiece of my room and yes, I do take people to see my room and lay on it cuz the mattress is all I ever dreamed of. 

My desk, I spend a lot of time there and it's from this indie designer that works with recycled wood and I travel to another city to buy it. I honestly love it, it’s not even a desk but a dining table and it’s so big and smooth ugh I love it.

Books - I love books, most of them are uni books because I just give books I don’t want to read again away (stuff like the hunger games, divergent, teen shit) I also have many old books cuz my uncle’s father in law studied the same thing I did and when he passed he left me ALL of his books.

Goodies - I have little decorations from all over the globe (My mum travelled a lot and bought me stuff) so I have a shelf with most things (including my country’s flag) also I have these cushions that are a mix of collages and handpainted things of different writers or painters ( I have one that’s Van Gogh's starry night, Dali’s melting clocks and Klimt’s the kiss) I found them at this street market and made my friend buy some too!! so we all have at least one. Let’s not forget my barroque looking chair gracing the corner of my room.

My T.V - I am, above all, a T.V enthusiast hahahahaha and even though I have a T.V five steps away in my family room I have one in my room too... I spend a lot of time on my own since I was little and having the T.V on made me feel less lonely (?) also when I was a kid my mum put a T.V in my room so my nanny and I could watch Telenovelas hahahaha... yeah a T.V is a big part of my room. 

5 of my favorite things

FOOD!!! I’m not even kidding, without food I AM NOTHING, A NOBODY, I WOULDN’T HAVE A PURPOSE IN LIFE. When I was a kid I Idolized Anthony Bourdain to the point that I made my life mission to be him, I had this mental breakdown when he died (I'm crying right now writing this) cuz he was honestly MY ROLE MODEL. I study Food science and engineering, my friends keep asking me to make a blog about food and I want to have a brand of both food products and restaurants or bistros when I’m older... so yeah food Is everything I am.

Cheesy T.V shows - There is nothing I love more than cliché, cheesy, romance shows.. hence my obsession with kdramas and Telenovelas when I was a kid. I love shows like strong woman do bong soon, fairy weightlifting kim bok joo, age of youth... it’s always so nice to see happy endings, especially when they’re a bit realistic?? 

Bullet journals!! - I love drawing, arts and craft; painting... all those things and a bullet journal is just the perfect way to express yourself. I might suck at actually keeping track of things but best believe I make the most of it. 

Walking - like not as in exercise but I live for strolls around the city 

Coffee shops... I want to own one in the future and spend most of my free time discovering new coffee shops.

5 things I’m into right now

Telling people I love them

Thesis... YA GIRL HAS TO GRADUATE

bullet journaling

Hello! It's been a long time but I return! Me:  The name’s Micchi, but feel free to call me whatever you wish. I’m in search of some casual roleplay buddies who might be up for some light-hearted, or really heavy roleplays. Basic info for me is I’m 20, and I’m a female more or less searching out other partners, preferably female, but gender really doesn’t matter in the end. I can’t say how much experience I have in RP, as my time RPing has been very patchy. I would average and say I probably have 1-2 years of experience, but I'm still learning and adapting. I'm currently enrolled in college in a full-time baking course, so I'm out most of the day during the week. I try to squeeze out replies despite this, as roleplaying is a great de-stresser for me. I try to average at the least one reply per day, but I can’t always do so since I’ve been fairly busy these days. At the least, I will respond on the weekends at least once a day if I can't get responses out during the week. If I haven’t replied in a week, please shoot me a message to remind me to reply, as I likely have read your message, but forgotten to reply! I will make sure to tell you if I know that I won't be able to reply for a week or more, so please be willing to do the same for me!

Style:  I RP in third person, paragraph style. I prefer to RP semi-lit, though I do this more or less as a stress reliever and a hobby, so I’m not too strict on my style or length or anything. I typically average a paragraph in response, and can push myself to write 2-3 if necessary, but even one-liners are no issue to me. My length varies depending on my partner, but I cannot spiel off more than 4 paragraphs per response. I like to plot up ideas together and though I’ve never gotten the chance, world-building does sound cool! I like to use faceclaims for my character, either a real person or an anime drawing, depending on my character (My older ones would likely have an anime drawing as a faceclaim while newer characters would have a real person). I also love to send pictures for references on my characters, and their clothing. It’s much easier for me to imagine their looks and clothing that way. ^.^ And lastly, since it’s been a while since I’ve RPed, I may be lacking in terms of detail and length, but with time and practice, I will improve! The same goes for my characters. They may start out very plain/shy or unrealistic-sounding, but over time, I will flesh them out and make them more and more realistic! So please bear with me. c: Rules:  So, starting rule is that I ask for my partners to be 18+, for comfort reasons and because I quite like smut. I prefer to be close in age to my partners, as I feel a better connection, and I’m more comfortable with it.  Second rule is that I ask you not to take control of my character without asking me first. I’ve had it happen before, and frankly it’s very annoying, and I’m sure you can understand why.  Last, a general rule. Respect. It’s a mutual rule, of course. I’ll respect you as long as you respect me.  Preferences:  So, I like to talk with my partners OOC, but this isn’t necessary if you wouldn’t like to do so. I’m an awkward and shy person, so I totally understand if you wish to keep talking strictly to plotting and talk about our characters/setting.  For pairings, I highly prefer M// and F//, but I will do some M/F, though only if doubling. I would love to try some F//, as I’ve never actually RPed F// before, at least not without being ghosted, so I’d love to get the experience with it. I prefer to play a bottom, but I will switch and I might top. I like to play a range of characters, but most are bottoms or switches. I prefer highly to switch if you dislike playing a specific role, to keep variety in the mix. I prefer to do OC RPs, but I do have a few fandoms that I will play canon characters in. Most fandoms are for the universe.  I usually play only one character at a time, but I can double. I like to do two different pairings when doubling (Like M// and F//). Kinks & Limits:  I’ll start with my main limits, since it’s mostly the normal stuff.  - Mommy/Daddy kink - Mpreg - Abusive relationships (Both physical and emotional) - Furries/Bestiality (Doesn’t include shapeshifters/hybrids) - Pedophilia/Age play (Or in general underage characters) - Incest - Non-con (Unless it’s in a character’s history, then that’s fine) - Feet stuff - Anything unhygienic As for my kinks, I’m still exploring so I’m open to almost anything not on the limit list, but here’s a few of my favourite ones so far:  - Cross dressing (Especially for my bottom males) - Rough sex - Lingerie (I love having my characters dress up in lingerie) - Hickeys/biting -Choking Fandoms:  So, I have just a few fandoms, but here they are. (The more *s next to the name, the higher my craving for it) - Overwatch ** (I prefer to play OCs since I’m not too well versed with the characters just yet, or we can just use the universe) - Toukiden Kiwami (I’d be pretty happy using the universe)  - BTS**** (I love these boys please RP them with me. No OCxCanon with this fandom) Genres:  - Romance (I love to have romance in any RP if possible) - Fantasy/Supernatural (My ultimate favourite. I like modern fantasy) - Slice of life (The one I’m best versed in) I am willing to try really any genre except historic ones because I know I can’t do justice to any timeline earlier than the 2000’s. 

Plots/Pairings:  These are some plots/pairings that I like or want to try. I’m open to any suggestions. (The more *s there are, the more interested I am in it. Bolded role is the role I would prefer) - Youtuber x Youtuber** (OCs only, but maybe two newer YouTubers collaborate and end up closely knit, and start dating) - Detective x Criminal/Thief* - Pirate x Pirate - Pirate x Commoner/Royalty (The commoner/royalty being a captive, though this wouldn’t be a Stockholm syndrome thing, but with a surprisingly merciful pirate who is kind to the captive) - Idol/Celebrity x Idol/Celebrity*** (This could go for BTS, or for OCs. I just like the idea of two celebrities who can’t be together often falling for one another and sneaking off to meet one another when they’re able to. Would probably be related to K-pop/J-pop/J-rock) - Idol/Celebrity x Commoner**** (Someone who happened to run into the idol/celebrity and hadn’t a clue who they were or was a fan and the idol grew attracted to them because they treated them no different than a normal human after learning who they were. I’m currently doing one of these, and I love it. This more or less ties to J-Pop/J-rock or K-pop, but any kind of idol/celebrity can be used) - Vampire x Werewolf* - Vampire x Human - Werewolf x Human (I’m a sucker for the human helping an injured werewolf plot) - Werewolf x Werewolf (Maybe a rogue being taken in by a pack alpha sort of scenario and slowly adapting them to life with a pack again) - Vampire x Vampire* (I like any plot, but I’m weak for an old, powerful vampire taking in a fledgling/newly turned vampire and teaching them how to adjust to their new life) - Demon x Angel - Demon x Human* (A human summons a demon, for any reason, and somehow the demon gets stuck with the human. Maybe the human accidentally summons the demon, and cannot send it back, so now the demon begrudgingly has to deal with this human until they find a way to get him home and they form a bond) - Human x Hybrid*** (Usually tied in with heats/ruts/ABO dynamics) - Hybrid x Hybrid* - Merman x Human** (Based off of Orenchi no Furo Jijo, a mermaid/merman is beached and dying, and a human takes them home and houses them in their tub. Possibly takes them back to the sea later on and makes routine visits to see them) - Good Boy/Girl x Bad Boy/Girl* (Something where the bad girl/boy has a soft spot for the good boy/girl and treats them completely opposite of their image. Maybe they’re childhood friends, and have been separated for years due to one moving away and have been reunited in college) - Supernatural creature x Human* (It could be any supernatural creature) - Supernatural creature x Supernatural Creature* AUs:  So, I’m really weak for the hybrid AU, supernatural AU and soulmate AUs. I would be willing to incorporate any into an RP. Contact Information:  Congrats if you made it this far, and I’m sorry for rambling. This post ended up wayyyy longer than I meant for it to be. But, if you want to RP, here’s where to contact me! I am most active on LINE and Discord. Discord: Imacow46#9993 LINE: imacow46

1218

Have you ever been to Australia?  Nope. Not really on top of my travel lists when it comes down to it, but it would be lovely to visit nonetheless. I'd be most excited to try their local food.

Who was the last person you know to have a birthday? Kate, our HR officer.

Are you wearing a necklace? If so, describe it.  I am not.

Do you know anyone who is left-handed? Aya. But we’re not really friends anymore.

Ever wear out a CD? What was it?  I don’t think so. I’ve broken CDs before but it was always because I had been a kid then and I constantly mishandled them.

What’s your favorite card game? I’m not into card games.

What’s your favorite fast food meal?  I usually flock to burgers and fries. Fast food rice is blechhh so I never get any meals with them, which are usually paired with fried chicken.

Where is the best restaurant you’ve ever eaten in at?  Torch. Prices are no joke either, so I don’t get to order from there a lot.

Lamb chops or pork chops?  I have pork chops more frequently and I love them, but I’d go with lamb chops. More expensive so I get them less often, but I do like the taste of lamb more.

If you HAD to pick ONE song to listen to for the rest of your life, and that would be the only song you ever heard, what would it be?  I imagine this would be so inconvenient after just a few hours...but idk. Based on my mood now, maybe Still With You by Jungkook.

Ever heard of Shinedown?  I have. I used to have a mutual who was obsessed with them. Never listened to their music, though.

What size is your bed?  Just a twin-size.

What is the first meal you remember eating?  I no longer remember that.

What was the first movie you ever saw?  Stuart Little 2.

What percentile of your class were you in?  I’m not sure about percentile, but I was just above average. Never topped the class but wasn’t behind academically, either. In our batch of around 165, I remember my ranking peaking at like 26. I don’t know what the equivalent percentile for that is.

Can you name every place you’ve ever had sex?  Yeah, I didn’t like being too adventurous anyway.

What forms of birth control have you used?  Same-sex relationship.

Do you use sponges or dishcloths when doing the dishes?  Sponge. OMG I hate touching wet cloths/fabric.

What’s your favorite song on the top twenty right now?  Butter.

Ever punched a wall?  Nope.

What was the last bug you killed and what did you use?  An ant. My finger.

Ever get pulled over by the cops and get away without a ticket?  Yes, because he noticed I was in uniform, as were my orgmates then. And I’m guessing it was also because he could tell we were all young, so he let us go.

What was your first legal alcoholic drink? A margarita, I think? < Hey, same!

What’s the most expensive things your parents ever bought you?  My education.

What’s the most expensive thing you’ve bought?  I’ve spent the most on my merch collection so far; but as for an individual item, I’ve spent close to 5k on a photobook set. I haven’t really ventured out to start spending on more adulting stuff yet, lol.

What is your favorite cover song?  Paramore’s cover of Passionfruit by Drake, or Hayley Williams’ cover of Teardrop by Massive Attack.

Did you ever drop out of school?  Nope, I did everything in one go.

Ever raise a child that wasn’t your own for more than 3 months?  I have not.

Strangest medical procedure ever performed on you?  I’ve only had basics done on me. 

Does the place you work have music playing? What sort?  The extremely few times I had to go to the physical office, my co-workers put on some music, yeah. It had been a very chill atmosphere and they simply turned on YouTube on the TV and put on a playlist of BTS and Taylor Swift songs.

Do you use Windows, Mac, Linux, or something else entirely?  Mac.

Do you cut tags out of clothing so they don’t itch and bother you?  Yes, I hate how the tags feel for the most part. The only time I don’t cut them off is if the brand is on the pricey side.

How many times a year do you go on vacation?  Under normal circumstances, around 3-5 with my family.

What is your favorite time period in history to learn about?  It’s easier for me to say what periods I find a little boring: medieval/dark ages and anything about wars. Every other period I’d happily soak up like a sponge.

What’s the saddest report you have ever seen on the news?  Mmmh, probably kids dying from freak accidents and seeing the parents get interviewed. Just last night I had to hear about a 4 year old who ran towards a car while playing outside. Hearing the dad cry and plead was gut-wrenching.

In your honest opinion, what is the scariest sea creature you know?  Idk, maybe those that live in the super deep sea and look nothing like what we would usually perceive as normal sea creatures.

What superpower do you think would be the most handy in times of trouble?  I guess it would have to depend on the issue you find yourself stuck in. But I think being able to control time would be convenient, since you can just easily undo mistakes.

Do you believe there is just one love for everyone, or…?  No. That would invalidate experiences for a lot of people. :/

Why are you best friends with your best friend?  She’s always been supportive and stuck by my side no matter what I’ve been through. We also have great chemistry and have always shared the same sense of goofy humor.

Do you world peace is truly a possibility in the future?  No.

Pretend you are a really good cook, what meal would you make?  I’d just make sashimi everyday.

What do you think of when you look at the stars?  I tend to reminisce when I do so. Think about what’s happened in the past, people who’ve left, what I’ve lost...and that there’s probably good reason why things are the way they are now.

If a turtle doesn’t have a shell, is he homeless or naked? Dead? Their shells are part of their actual skeletal structure. < Well there we go.

What’s one thing you feel you must do in your life before it ends?  Travel the world.

What Disney princess are you most like? Personality-wise, I mean.  Ariel. Pretty fucking clumsy, prioritizes the wrong things out of love.

What do you think is the most important thing in this life is?  Happiness.

Do you use any acne medication?  Nah, I just splash my face with water every morning.

Have you ever tried to learn another language? How did it go?  [This survey seems to be a mix of a few surveys, so some of the questions - like this, I’ve already answered. I’ll be striking out the ones I’ve already delved on but if you’ll take this survey as well, feel free to remove the strike!]

Do you still have a landline phone in your home?

Throughout a typical week, which places are you likely to go?  LOL just home. I work from home, and I’m usually exhausted during the weekend to want to go out.

How often do you use your webcam, if you even have one that is?  A few times a week for work. Most of the time we communicate just through audio, but there are a few meetings or clients that prefer video.

Do you have a lock number or pattern for your phone?  It’s a number combination, but I seldom get to use it. I usually rely on thumb ID.

What was the last thing you bought from a liquor store?  Not a liquor store but I just got a few bottles of beer from 7-Eleven.

Is there any cereal in your house? What kind?  We don’t. We’re not really a big cereal-eating family.

What's the most number of people you've ever lived with?  11. That’s a set of grandparents (2), my family (4), my mom’s older brother’s family (4), and my mom’s younger brother (1).

Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? 

Do you have any pets? How long have you had them?  I have two. 13 years with Kimi, a year with Cooper.

What's your favourite kind of cheese?  Feta and mozzarella.

Have you danced in the rain?  Once or twice, when I was a lot younger.

Who is your favorite person to text?  I don’t text anymore, but I frequently communicate with Angela on Messenger.

What’s your favorite brand of jeans?  My favorite pair is from Zara, but I don’t have a go-to brand for jeans per se.

Do you enjoy Mario games?  Not all of them, but sure.

What’s your favorite online game? I don’t play games.

Have you ever been hit with a ball in gym class?  Possibly. Not remarkable enough for me to remember though.

Who was last to cook for you?  Dad.

Would you ever wish to explore a cave?  I would love to. I had the chance to explore one during our trip to Sagada, but the tour guide decided against it since I had the wrong footwear and it wasn’t going to be safe if I tried. :( I did get to go to the underground cave in Palawan though, and that was a really fun experience.

You see the person you fell hardest for. What do you do?  I’d give her a small, polite/curt smile and maybe wave, then go on with whatever it was I’ve been doing. Of course, I doubt it would actually go that way because I believe she’d run for the hills if she ever spotted me.

Have you ever ridden in a car with someone who was high?  No. I would refuse to, especially if they were the one driving.

Did you ever date the last person you kissed?  Yeah, for too long.

Have you ever held a snake?  I have! A few times.

How often do you have friends over to your house?  Almost never. Angela and Hans coming over for Sowoozoo two weeks ago was just an exception.

Have you ever had a boss who acted unprofessionally?  No, I wouldn’t say that.

Who was the last person who cried around you? Why did they start crying? Was it unexpected? 

Do you have any exercises you do everyday?

Are you more of a dog or cat person? 

Have you ever had a dream of stabbing someone? 

Would you ever have a bird as a pet? 

Have you ever had to speak at a funeral? 

Do you know someone who’s been cremated? 

What is your favorite animated movie? 

Did your grandparents teach you anything?  Just some religion stuff and how to be a nice Catholic and all. Doesn’t apply to me, obvs, but I still outwardly listen out of respect.

Do you want/have a Bachelor's degree?  Yes.

Are you into superheroes? Who's your favourite?  I am most definitely not. 

Have you ever played Cards Against Humanity? Did you like it?  Sure, a few times. Yes, it was fun and hilarious.

Have you ever played a drinking game? Which ones?  Just the basic ones like truth or dare and never have I ever.

Did you ever play Neopets when you were younger?

Have you ever been to Mexico?  No, but would be nice to travel there.

Have your parents ever worked in medicine? No, not their field.

Is there anything unusual about your house?  We don’t have a gate, which has always bugged me.

How many serious relationships have you been in?  One.

Do you listen to Rise Against?  Much more when I was in high school. I haven’t revisited their music in years.

When was the last time you congratulated someone?  Reggy since she posted her graduation portrait the other day.

Have you ever taken care of a newborn baby?  Nah.

How old were you when you got your ears pierced?  Like a month old, I believe.

What was the last type of burger you ate?  A Baconator from Wendy’s.
