“Here... Let me just...” He was talking under his breath, trying to adjust the meters of rope to find the middle. It wasn’t perfect, not some nice silky rope either, he said he didn’t want that. Instead it was brown and twine-like, like the one that always hung around his waist. He folded it again, leaving it in a nice quarter for you, or at least as close as he could get from just eyeballing it. “There... Now, we’re at step one.”

He chuckled softly as you looked off to your side, a printed guide with many steps over there. He gave you the rope, a look of sympathy on his face. You probably weren’t hiding your nerves too well from his expression. He gave you a soft kiss on the cheek, unable to stop smiling as he did. “Masz to, kochanie... I trust you, you know that...” 

You smiled, nodding as you met his eyes after looking up from the instructions. “I know... Hmmmph... But the first step is having your arms behind your back. How are you gonna help me like that?”

He chuckled again, shrugging his shoulders. “I mean... kind of the point of it is that I’m slightly helpless but here...” He bounced his leg slightly, signaling for you to get off his lap. It made you laugh slightly as a jolt of pleasure ran up your spine, no doubt he had other motives as well as you were both undressed. His thick thigh rubbing against your pussy released just a little bit of tension from you. He turned once you were off, facing the instructions as he held his arms in position behind him. You held the bite of the rope cautiously, looking slightly over his shoulder. “I’ll try and tell you, and I’ll tell you the knots, just like we practiced.”

You nodded, still looking over his shoulder, your nose resting on it as you slowly pulled the bite under both his arms, letting the ends hang down. You pulled up on the bite, giving yourself some more room as you started to wrap it around his wrists three times. He told you himself he’d probably need more reinforcement, even if he didn’t resist you. He was a big, strong military man, through and through. But, God, it made you want to see his big body tied up even more. You tried to not fantasize too much in your head as you wrapped, just wanting to experience it all first hand. You kissed the back of his shoulder as you lifted up, letting your breath linger with your smile against his skin as you looked back at the strong rope holding him. “Okay... what knot first, Sobi?”

He cleared his throat lightly, taking a deep breath as he looked down at the notes. “Mmm... I’d say a box tie.” You nodded, remembering him showing you all the types of knots and ties you could do safely. He joked while showing you, saying the military was useful for more than just survival to him... that it was finally coming into use in the bedroom. He felt you tighten it, nodding to give approval that it felt good, secure and not too tight. “Now just wrap it around my left arm, bring it around my chest, then around the right.”

You remembered him saying not to place it too low so it wouldn’t hurt him, nor too high lest it just slip down. Cautiously, you brought it up and around, letting it touch his bicep before lightly pulling it across his chest as your other arm held it onto his bicep. “Right here?”

“Hmm...” Still able to move his arm slightly, he wiggled it slowly, making your hand softly caress his flexing bicep in the process. From the outside looking in, he didn’t seem ripped, but easily he could out-lift anyone he knew, his strong abs and muscles protected by a nice, soft layer of fat that made him so inviting to you. Like your own big teddy bear. “A little higher, like... above the bicep, barely where my shoulder ends... if that makes sense.”

You nodded, listening to him, he had to know himself the best. Slowly, with your arm still caressing him, you pushed the rope up. You heard him take a deep breath out of his nose, truly taking in the feeling of your soft hands against him, your naked body pressed against him. You pushed it even more, leaning up to his ear as you continued pulling the rope across his chest with your other hand. “Like this~?”

He gasped softly as the rope wrapped softly around his other arm, around the same area, taking in the feeling of your soft hands and the rough rope. “Tak~... Y-yes, I like it, kochanie...” His eyes were shut, only cracking open as you started to chuckle.

“No, no... like, ‘jak to?’ As in, is it okay there for position?”

“Oh... heheh, y-yeah, feels perfect there.”

He looked back at you, already his pupils starting to dilate from pleasure. “Mmmm...” you playfully scolded him, “you’re already losing yourself, baby. Got to keep it together, we’ve barely even started.”

He pouted back at you, just playing into the lighthearted joking. “I know... Mmm~... I guess you’re just a natural at it... already making me feel good.” He smiled at you, giving you a wink as you started blushing. He looked down at the instructions, squinting at the next step before taking a harsher breath out. “O, ja pierdolę... right, you have to go around more times now... So, uh, you’ll go under that one on my left and just wrap around... Don’t tease me too much, please, kotku?”

You smiled devilishly, doing as he said, pulling the rope under, but letting your fingers trail up his arm to his shoulder as you pulled it around. “No promises...” As you pulled the rope around his chest, you let your fingers interlace on the rope. They trailed gently across him, his soft hair and chest being teased, also acting as a double check to make sure it wasn’t too tight. He rolled his neck back, a soft kurwa escaping his lips as he loved your delicate touch against him, contrasting beautifully against the ropes that bound him, hugging his body roughly, but also comforting. You chuckled, catching his mouth as he leaned back, continuing to pull the rope around. Instantly, the kiss was deepened as he groaned softly in your mouth, his tongue trying to enter as soon as he could. He was desperate, even now, even just at the beginning. It was cute in its own way, but you couldn’t let him have everything, especially with the way he teases you himself. You let your tongue meet his for a moment, but quickly pulled away with a cheeky grin, watching as his face turned from confusion to frustration, letting out a little huff out of his nose. You looked over his shoulder at the directions again, because lord knew he wasn’t looking.

You pulled the rope under the stem, leading it over and around, then over and around again, until you repeated on the stem. It was hard to read the instructions from here, but you could tell the knot was secure but adjustable. He took a deep breath, leaning his head up slowly as he looked back at the directions himself. He attempted to wiggle his arms, but couldn’t get much of anywhere, ensuring it was perfect. He smiled softly as he read. “Okay... there’s another rope over there, you’re gonna attach it to the other one. Remember the ‘lark’s head’ knot?” You nodded, reaching over to grab the other long rope he had already prepared for you.

“It’s so nice how prepared you are, Sobi,” you smiled, genuinely complimenting him. He smiled softly, chuckling in response.

“Mmm, what can I say? A lovely lady like you who trusts me with her heart asks me if it’s okay to do one of my fantasies? Heh... Am I not supposed to make her life easier?”

You smiled, pulling down on the knot as tight as you could to keep it secure. “You say that like it isn’t a fantasy of mine as well... You’ve tied me up and just... I wanted to see you in it.”

He looked back at you, a smile on his face as his cheeks flushed red softly. “How are you liking it so far?”

“Better than I imagined even,” you said with a big smile on your face, pulling the rope around his arm, this time going under his chest, your pinky playfully twirling in the hair on his chest leading down to his stomach. “I really love how it looks on your arms... Mmm, you already know how much I love hanging off them as is, so...”

He laughed softly, his laugh trailing into a heavier breath as your fingers continued dancing softly on his skin. “That you do... I imagine we have a similar feeling when I wrap it around your thighs, see that little bit of squish.”

“Probably it’s something similar... but your arms are too firm to squish,” your voice trailed off, bringing one of your hands up to run along his bicep again as you brought the rope around a second time, leaning up to his ear, letting your breath softly trace the shell of it. “So big and strong... everytime I touch you like this I just... mmm~, I want those arms doing something else to me.”

He smiled a devilish smile, just barely turning towards you as you slowly nuzzled yourself in the crook of his neck. “Mmm~, and you are worried about me getting worked up? Seems you are working yourself up, kochanie... I can feel your hips rubbing on my back right now.”

You hadn’t even noticed it, but he was right. A blush further spread across your cheeks as you backed away, finishing pulling the rope around. You did the same sort of securing, pulling it up and around a few times around all three branches of the rope. Looking back over his shoulder, he beat you to it, leaning to read himself. “Now’s time for the front.”

You smiled widely at him as he gave you a knowing glance. “Lap time again?”

He shook his head softly, “Not quite, it’s just you have to wrap it around my shoulders in the front, then you can get back in my lap... Trust me, I want it more than anything right now.”

You chuckled softly, pulling the rope through his arm to the front, starting to wrap to his shoulder. “Hehe... I can tell,” you said as you looked down to his growing hard on. It was clear he was into this, his tip pink and barely poking out. You smiled deviously, reaching down with your free hand to pull lightly to get his foreskin fully out of the way, making him quickly suck a breath through his teeth at not only your touch, but the feeling of the air hitting his sensitive tip.

“K-kurwa~! Kotku, I-... shit, you can’t just do that without warning...”

You smiled, feeling a little guilty but you knew he wasn’t too serious, just frustrated from all the teasing... how the tables have turned on him so suddenly. “Mmm~... sorry, you just looked like you needed just a little release...” You pulled the rope over his shoulder and to his back, pulling around and under to meet his other arm, pulling it through. “You seem so pent up, Sobi. Am I wrong?”

You tilted your head cutely as you asked him a question, sitting at his side as you sat there, waiting for his answer. He shook his head, his eyes almost pleading with you as he met yours. “No... God, no you aren’t. I really need this, baby please...”

You smiled at him, pity in your expression as you pulled the rope over his shoulder, reaching the end of it. There was one more rope left, this one a little shorter than the other two. You leaned over his lap, arching your back to tease him more. Your breast against his thigh as you read the instructions, your ass in the air so tantalizing to him, he groaned, cursing under his breath and making you smile more. “O mój kurwa boże...”

“Hmmm...” you played ignorant of your teasing, just reading what comes next in the directions. “Oh! Now it’s lap time!”

“Ohhh... great~...” His voice dripped with sarcasm as he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. You couldn’t help but laugh softly at him not being able to take such teasing. Though you suppose, this was a whole different level for him; rather than him just touching along your inner thighs, teasing the outside of your lips, or making his hand go the same pace as your grinding hips. His hands were literally bound as you were bent over in front of him so alluring, your naked body literally right within reach, but was physically incapable of being the palm of his hands.

You tied the last rope in the back, pulling it up and through his arm then letting it dangle, the rope tickling at his thighs. He bit his lip as you saw you readjust, coming back around to his front. Meeting his eyes, you picked up the rope, letting the end graze along his thighs in a tantalizing way, holding it in your other hand as you came to straddle his lap. He looked you up and down, his breath getting heavier moment by moment, seeing how close you were to him, hell, even able to feel the heat from your pussy as it sat inches away. “Don’t tease me too much... I know I keep saying it but... Kurwa, I don’t know how much more I can take...”

His voice trailed off into a more desperate tone, almost sounding like he was whimpering, begging you to give him what he so desperately wanted. You only gave him a pitiful smile, “I’ll try... But it’s a little... hard when I feel you so excited under me. Mmm~...” You let your hips just barely scoot forward on him, earning a groan from him but you said to yourself it was just you adjusting as you pulled the rope across the right under the opposite collarbone. “ It’s just so tempting...”

He chuckled, barely bucking his hips up to yours, making you gasp softly and nearly lose your grip on the rope. “I can say the same for you, kochanie~... So, so tempting...”

You giggled, feeling his cock nestled right at your entrance but unable to enter. Unintentionally, he just led himself into this little trap... a little trap that left him yearning to be inside you even more. “It’s only a little more, miśku... then I’ll have my way with you...” You let your hands trail more on him as you pulled the rope across to the other side, going over then under, making sure to take your time tying a decorative knot at the front of him. You watched him intently as his chest rose and fell rhythmically, despite the deep breaths he was taking. His own eyes watched as your small, delicate hands tied the twine on him, watching those perfect hands expertly work the frayed, imperfect rope.

He whined softly as he wiggled his hands, feeling your wet pussy pressed against him. He knew you wanted this, though your hands went slow, it was just to mess with him more. So you could just feel him get harder under you. He didn’t even think he could get so turned out, but the harsh ropes binding him, making it so he couldn’t touch you. He could only groan in frustration, though the denial only excited him more.

You pulled the rope under the one by his arm and pulled through his arm, letting it rest behind him. You leaned up to his ear, unintentionally grinding yourself on him again as your sultry voice whispered in his ear, “Just one more knot... then I’m done.”

His breath hitched as you spoke, his hips desperately rising to meet yours again, anything to help with this painful hard-on he had. But you didn’t help at all, wrapping your arms around him and leaning over his shoulder, nuzzled close by his neck as you tied the final knot. So close to him, you were able to hear the little whines he let out under his breath as he grinded himself into your core. You bit your lip, suppressing yourself from letting out your own moan. “Pragnę cię tak bardzo, kochanie... Pr-... Pleeeaase~...” He desperately whined as he grinded himself further into your now sopping wet cunt, trying to tie that knot faster as you couldn’t resist him anymore either.

You finally finished it off, pulling your arms out from around him and immediately locking them around his neck, pulling him close as you kissed him messily. He didn’t help at all with the mess, barely able to control himself as he pushed himself into you, his tongue running along your bottom lip within seconds. You welcomed him in though, fingers interlacing with the bottom of his hair as you pulled him even closer.

Still grinding, even with your tongues interlocking, he was wanting so much more. He pulled away his eyes half lidded as his pupils dilated with lust. “Proszę, baby, fuck me already~... Boże, I can feel how wet and I just... Potrzebuję cię, kochanie~... I’ll do anything...”

His begging turned you on even more, it made you not want to do as he said... just so you could hear it more. But you couldn’t resist it either. Slowly you pulled yourself off his lap, just to tease him more, build more anticipation in him. He helped out, wiggling his hips down the bed more so they were parallel with it. You reached down to him, holding him by the base, feeling it throb with just your fingers as you lined yourself up. Slowly slipping your entrance on him, you expect some more resistance with the lack of foreplay, but after a couple little pushes, you were able to take him in, moaning as you slowly slid down, taking him to the base. He watched for as long as he could, until he just succumbed to his own pleasure, moaning softly and closing his eyes, head falling back just barely. You smiled devilishly, seeing him already losing himself in you. You wait for his eyes to open, looking at you with such desire before you asked, “...You ready?”

He chuckled softly, biting his lip as he bucked his hips up, egging you on to continue, “As ready as ever... How about you?”

You rolled your eyes at him light-heartedly, putting your hands on his shoulders as you slowly moved up. “Mmm~... maybe I should tie your legs next time too.”

He laughed, letting out a deep exhale through pursed lips, “Don’t know about that one, baby... Nggh~... already... hard enough as is.” As you slid back down, he leaned forward, getting right by your ear as you gasped, him doing another little thrust to push himself deeper inside. “Nie masz pojęcia, co mi zrobiłeś... How badly I want to grab your hips and fuck you so hard right now.” His voice came out as a growl... so deep and nearly threatening... but with him restrained, he was unable to act on such empty threats of good times.

“Heheh~... But your hands are tied, quite literally...” You ran your hands down his shoulders, running them down to where the ropes crossed in front, holding onto that for balance as you pulled yourself up again. He groaned, kissing onto your jaw as he cursed under his breath. “I’m the one in control here, Sobi... Mmm~, and I’ll fuck you so good if you just sit back and enjoy it...”

You felt him nod softly, lifting off your jaw as he met your eyes again, reaching right by his head before going down again, starting your rhythm of riding him. He watched you carefully as you took him in so expertly, his mouth sitting slightly agape as his breath got heavier. You started to roll your hips, earning a more needy moan from him as his head went back, and you saw slightly behind him, his hands balling into fists as his moan turned to a whimper. You felt so powerful right now, turning this huge, strong man to whining and begging under you, despite you still having to look up at him as you hit the tip of his cock. That thick hard cock too... you couldn’t get enough of it. When your hips rolled just right, it hit that spot inside that had you shutting your eyes as well, clinging even harder on the ropes. So focused on riding him, you could only let out heavy pants but once he bucked his hips, seeing him hit the spot inside you, you couldn’t help but cry out, cursing under your breath.

As you continued, he kept up his own little thrust inside you, making you moan more and more. Part of you wondered if he was chasing his own climax, or if he was just trying to make you feel good. Everytime you moaned though, breathily saying his name, you would see his arm wiggle, shoulder desperately trying to reach to you but being unsuccessful. He pulled himself forward, resting his head on the crook of your neck as he moaned more, his thrusts getting slightly more erratic. “Mój Boże~... proszę, baby... I’m so... Kurwa~, I’m so fucking close, are you?”

You giggled softly, feeling yourself on the edge but just barely there yourself. “Just about~... Ahh~! I-I’ll get there soon, just finish whenever, babe...”

“C-can I cum inside you? Please, please, please, kochanie, I want to so badly, pleeeeaase~...” He desperately whined, whimpering as he started to increase the pace of his thrusts, making you moan and your own climax approached just as quickly.

You giggled softly, leaning over to whisper in his ear. “Oh~... you will finish inside me... Nggh~... Come on, Sobi... Do it, cum inside me make me yours~”

Those words pushed him over the edge, biting onto your shoulder as he pushed down as hard as he could, cumming with a growl that turned quickly to a whimper. Erratically pushing himself deeper inside with little thrusts, you felt the warmth go even deeper inside you. Those deep thrusts against you nearly sent you over the edge, but as he slowly came down from his high, he pulled back, thrusting harshly as he let out one final spurt of cum right into your g-spot. Feeling that warmth all pressed against you, you hit your climax, moaning out his name as you came. He admired the sight, finally coming down fully to see you shaking, bouncing slightly on his still hard cock. He kissed your neck, encouraging you as you came down. “So good, kochanie... You fucked me so well, kotku... Moja piękna dziewczyna~... so beautiful cumming for me...”

You caught your breath, coming down to his wonderful words, leaning over and catching his lips as they lifted, bringing him in for a much more passionate kiss. When you leaned back, opening your eyes slowly, the both of you were smiling, unable to hold back the love you felt just from gazing at each other.

“Thank you, kochanie...” He wiggled his arms, making sure you could see it. “Now, could you uh... untie me? I just want to hold you now...”

Translations! Masz to, kochanie- You got this, baby Tak- Yes Jak to- Like this, jak being the comparative "like" rather than the enjoyment "like" O, ja pierdolę- Oh, fuck me Kotku- kitty/kitten Kurwa- fuck O mój kurwa boże- Oh my fucking god Miśku- bear (diminutive) Pragnę cię tak bardzo, kochanie- I want you so bad, baby Proszę- Please Potrzebuję cię- I need you Nie masz pojęcia, co mi zrobiłeś- You have no idea what you've done to me Moja piękna dziewczyna- My beautiful girl

⭒ENHYPEN reaction⭒

to: you speaking your mother tongue (native language?)

tags: boyfriend!enhypen, gn!reader

tw: none

so i finally decided to post again lol

i hope you like it!

everything is under the cut!

h e e s e u n g

being away from home and family is never easy

and heeseung understands that

so when he walks into his bedroom and hears you talking to your parent on the phone in a language he doesn't understand

he just kind of stands in the doorway and listens since he doesn't want to interrupt anything

heart eyes

this man is so WHIPPED

and he'd listen in and hear you get really excited about something and he'd get all smiley and excited too even if he doesn't understand what you're saying :(

cause he's happy if you're happy

i feel like he'd want you to teach him something

like how to say a word that he just randomly thought of

"cupcake, how do you say 'marshmallow' in (your language)?"

overall i dont think he'd make a big deal out of it or anything

he'd be really nice and respectful

would clown you if something went wrong and you started cursing in your language tho

even if it was the smallest thing ever

omg he'd probably get the other members involved too

so they'd all be clowning you together lmao

and they just won't stop even if it's already been WEEKS

hee would also be the type to look at you and randomly say one of the few words you taught him - like literally out of nowhere

and now i feel sad haha

someone get me a heeseung pls

j a y

it was his first time meeting your family

let's say your family speaks only a bit of english and no korean so it's not easy for jay and them to communicate

and you kind of have to become a translator

like you might as well change your name to google translate lol

anyway

so lik the two of you arrive at your family's house and they let you in

and they're like "honey!! it's so nice to finally meet your boyfriend!" in your native language right

and jay's there just like: I'm gonna pretend like i understood everything you just said ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ

and then you translate

and he's like ( ꈍᴗꈍ)💅 yep that's me

and for the rest of the night you're translating what everyone is saying

then you get home and it's really late

but you had a good time and it seems like your family really likes jay

so you're happy

after a movie and a cuddle session on the couch you both get ready for bed and go to sleep

and after just laying there for 15 minutes in silence jay starts poking your side

so you're like wHAT

and he goes: can you help me learn (your language)?🥺 i wanna surprise your parents the next time I see them🥺🥺

that's it

imma just leave it at that

this boy has my heart

and if i continued any further i probably wouldn't even get to the other members lol

watch me write your whole entire life with jay just in this one post... I'm not okay

j a k e

you were on a videocall with your cousin/friend/someone

just talking about how everything is going for you and how you are and stuff

and then you remember you didn't tell them about your bf

??? how

jakey is like the perfect boyfriend

how could you forget to show him off to them??

so you're like "you know I have a boyfriend right?"

and they're like "really????? didn't think anyone would actually want to deal with you :P"

but then they get excited and really wanna see who you're with

so you call jake over to meet them

and then you become the translator (again rip)

even with the language barrier they still get along really well

or if your first language is english then you don't have to be the translator i guess

no matter what they just kinda get along well

but in that second scenario the rest of jake's part doesn't apply (rip)

im sorry ://

back to jakey and the call

after the call ends jake gently places his head on your shoulder and goes:

"i think your native language is really nice"

"do you think I'd do good if I tried learning it?"

so you're like of "course you would, like dUh brO you like physics..learning a language will be like easy for u since you're so smart :D"

and he'd seriously like, STUDY it

and you're just so proud of him

also it wouldn't be him if the first phrase he learned wasn't 'i love you' or 'can i get a kiss?'

so this boy now goes 'i love you so much' in your native language every time he sees you :(

s u n g h o o n

your relationship with sunghoon is still pretty new

let's say you've been dating for like 2 months

and you haven't really told your family yet

and one day you're on a videocall with one of your family members

and he slept over at your place

you're sitting in the living room after you've made breakfast

and you and that family member are on a videocall

and while that's going on sunghoon wakes up in your bedroom

and he's like ???

where r u

so he quickly does a bit of a morning routine

and goes to find you

and accidentally walks into the frame of your camera

so your family member just saw a random guy just emerge from your bedroom

and they're like ? who's that behind you

so you're like ??? there's noone behind me?? and you turn around and get startled since sunghoon is just standing by the door to your bedroom

he's like:🕴️

you fall off the couch and sunghoon's like "baby, are you okay???"

and he's trying to help you up

and your family member saw that mess unfold lol

after sunghoon checks up on you and the both of you sit down your family member asks a million questions and refuses to let sunghoon go out of frame for even a second

so sunghoon sits through the rest of the call next to you on the couch while you're answering all these questions your family member is asking

and he doesn't understand anything

after the call ends he probably walks back to your bedroom and falls asleep again since the encounter with your family member completely drained him of energy

since we know this boy's an introvert

and introverts have to recharge after being social and engaging with people

also the whole entire situation probably shook with him a lil

after he wakes up again he walks into the kitchen where you are and hugs you from behind

and then he softly asks "do you think you could maybe teach me a few words in your language?👉👈"

and of course you can't say no

who could say no to sunghoon???

so you help him learn some words

and the next time you facetime your family this boi is ready to impress them with his speaking skills😌

s u n o o

you and the other enhypen members were eating dinner together at their dorms

hee decided to make ramyeon and so the other members and you decided to help him and make some for yourselves

but sunoo was in their 'make-up room' doing his skincare routine (so you took it upon yourself to make one for him too)

after you set the noodles to cook your phone started going off

so jay and hee decided to compete and see who'd get to the phone first (since it was in the living room)

and so they ran to get it

knocking a lot of stuff over in the process

and scaring jake who went to the bathroom earlier

then jay (who was leading btw) tripped over a random bag on the floor and hee then tripped over him

when they got back to the kitchen they were a lil bruised up so you decided to take care of them first and just let the call go through

they both had some light bruises and jay somehow managed to also get a few scratches

so he was bleeding a bit

he was being extra

"pPalLi hElP jiGeUm riGht nOw okay???"

(i swear i love jay with all my heart im not trying to make him seem like he's annoying or anything)

you had to save him :')

so you got a few bandaids and patched them both up a bit

after that you went to the living room to call back to whoever was calling you in peace since everyone was busy in the kitchen

it was one of your childhood friends

you called them and they started nagging you for not picking up and scaring them

and right in that moment sunoo came out of the 'make-up room' and went into the living room where he left his bag when he got back from practice (the same bag that caused jay to trip lol)

and he heard you and your friend pretty much yelling at each other and bickering through the phone

and he got curious

so he walked up to you and was like

"who are you taking to?(✿^‿^)"

and the friend on the other line heard him and was like

"YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND??!?!"

so for the next 30 minutes or so they made you explain everything to them

and they were extra nosy

so you were taking about how you met, what your relationship is like, his friends, what he's like,

and other things

while sunoo was sitting next to you

looking up at you with so much love and adoration in his eyes even though he couldn't understand a single word you said

after you and your friend said bye and hung up he was like

"you're so amazing o((*^▽^*))o"

i don't think he'd make you teach him any words

apart from 'i love you' or 'i'm cute' or smth

he's just really happy to have someone like you no matter how many languages you speak so he's just gonna adore you for a bit and then start teasing you like he usually does ;)))

he WILL mention any time he speaks about you tho

'OH did you know my partner speaks (your native language)? ^-^'

j u n g w o n

you decided you wanted to visit your family

since you've been living in korea and felt really homesick :(( (at least for the sake of this scenario lol)

and since they live outside of korea you and jungwon had to separate for a while (he couldn't go with you since he has schedules and stuff ://)

I have a feeling he's a pretty clingy baby (or he'd miss you a lot at least - maybe not clingy physically but like emotionally?? he just needs you by his side lol)

so he'd demand you call everyday

and one day you were in your old bedroom, just laying on the bed and calling jungwon

when your parent/family member came into your room to inform you that dinner is ready or smth

and they saw you were calling someone and were like

who are you calling??? (since you didn't tell them about jungwon yet they couldn't really guess it was him or anything)

and well, you just didn't mention anything about having a boyfriend at all

you're there like uhhh can I tell them?? should I tell them??

and you do

which sparks a conversation about him

while you're still calling WITH him

so for like 15 minutes you're talking to that family member while jungwon just listens

and while that's happening his thought process is like..

'how did I get so lucky'

'i like that language'

'they sound so cool'

'oh shoot they said my name???'

'what's happening?'

'what are they walking about??'

'????'

'hurry up and talk to me now'

'hey >:('

'I'm the one you're calling :('

'but take your time i guess..'

'damn i miss them a lot'

'i need hugs :('

and then you get back to him and he asks you to translate everything you said

so you do

and he's just

so

damn

whipped

for u

like even more than ever before

he might ask how to introduce yourself in your language or smth and will not ask you about anything ever again

until you find out he's been secretly learning your language

so that he can surprise you :(((

and potentially your family once he gets to meet them :((((

n i - k i

let's say it's right after enhypen had a comeback right

so they have a few days off before they start working on some new projects and stuff and ni-ki somehow managed to get sick

even though you, the members, and the staff were making sure he was taking care of himself

so you're just hanging around the dorms

helping the members around the house and checking up on ni-ki from time to time

at this specific moment you were cooking dinner with jay

so you kind of just left your phone with ni-ki in their bedroom (where he's resting)

and you got a call from one of your friends or smth (maybe like your roommate??)

so ni-ki called you to let you know

and he was like: „Y/NNNNNN!!!!"

you're obviously concerned like ??? what's wrong?? is everything okay??? is ni-ki okay??? my child why are you yelling so much???

and you bolt from the kitchen to the bedroom

and when you run through the door

you stub your toe on a dresser or something

and you start cursing in your language

and ni-ki hears it all

and even though you're in pain

he can't stop laughing

cause he's kinda evil >:)

then after he stops laughing at you he's like: are you okay? ://

and you are eventually

fortunately no toes were broken that day

then he asks you what you were saying

and if you could teach him all those words

so you're like should i? should i not? and you eventually do (bad idea lol)

let's just say you got a beating from all his hyungs after he wouldn't stop cursing in your language

but it did take them a while to find out what all those words ni-ki is saying mean

so this child would probably teach them these words for fun

and would tell them that it means like 'i love you' and 'have a great day' or smth

but he would always laugh whenever they said any of them

and it was somewhat suspicious

which resulted in jungwon searching it up

and nearly then he nearly beat you with a pan later

you should feel lucky you're alive lol

hee and jay probably found it funny tho

Why Hríd is such an amazing character who just got done wrong during his “character arc” (SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE BOOK II AND FORGING BONDS)

WARMING: THIS IS JUST ONE LONG ASS LOVEMAIL POST FOR HRÍD

this was originally written as a thread on twitter but i’ll try my best to put it all here because someone asked for it some time ago

I’m putting it here because @chascah suggested i uploaded it here as well for those people who actually appreciate the icy boy

this is basically an analysis to most if not every quote from hríd, also adding some translations and little details from the japanese quotes (and some lore behind the whole idea of hríd’s new year alt)

let’s start then!

lemme start with the fact that hríd only appeared in 3 out of 13 chapters, yet is the character that caught my interest the most (funny because i already had a crush on alfonse, then i saw hríd and was like "oh, hello there")

hríd arrived like a half-dead yet somehow composed prince who somehow (x2) survived by himself in múspell for weeks (maybe even months, there's no exact timeline but it is canon that alfonse and the others spent some weeks in nifl, it probably also took them a while to navigate through múspell until loki arrived as ylgr)

he served as some kind of excuse to not put bruno too much with the main characters, practically a messenger only despite this guy being alive with burns and a broken sword (the crack on gjöll's blade hurts bc he couldve actually lost his sword and ended up defenseless in battle oof)

so, there was no really much use of his character other than being a magical solution for everything

he even helped unmask loki (though they never explain why hríd suspected of ylgr, we only know loki's own take)

btw, can we talk about the fact he probably outsmarted loki while the others weren't yet in múspell? he terrorized surtr's army and even outsmarted laegjarn and laevatein

and since he survived for so long i believe most of his wounds were made by surtr himself

they never really say whether he actually managed to kill surtr or not, but let's say yes just to add up on all of the things hríd does just in the story

at first glance it looks like he's doing nothing, but reading further into it and applying some logic

hríd's... he's pretty impressive for a prince so young

gotta also add how hríd appears less impulsive in japanese than in english

when "alfonse" blames him for being a traitor, hríd gets to the defensive immediately in english

in japanese, he's more in shock, probably because after all he's tried, he's being doubted by his allies (which shows a lot how much he cares about being perceived as perfect, something i'll get on to later if i have enough time)

I added this part in the middle of the whole thing because it was a different thread so excuse the sudden change of topic, kinda. It’s supposed to be from the last conversation in Book 2, where Fjorm tells Hríd she’s going to stay in Askr despite her “condition”.

"I understand your feelings, Sister. By all means, go. I will pray for your safety."

this is one of the quotes i'd like to put in that one hríd character thread i want to make

the feeling behind this quote got completely lost in translation, as there's no way to translate it properly

in japanese, hríd uses a pecular way of speech to refer to his sister here he says "... I get it. If that is what you wish, it's alright to go. I'll pray for your safety." the peculiar part, aside from hríds "..." is where he refers to fjorm, the "you"

hríd normally uses "kimi" to refer to people, which is like a more... gentle? way of speaking? men usually use it towards women bc they want to treat them nicely, and jps in general use it with people they don't know (it's that, or "anata" or "[name]-san")

yet here, hríd decides to use "omae" to refer to fjorm, which is more informal and even rude (specially for someone who normally uses "kimi", it means he wanted to express some kind of anger or frustration about fjorm's decision without saying it directly,,,,,,,,,,,,,which is very japanese to do so,,,,,, *looks into the distant "most japanese people i've known don't directly say 'no' and instead go 'hmmmmmm' '*very indirectly rejects*' and it's probably a fact*)

it feels like instead of being supportive, hríd just understood there was no way of convincing fjorm to stay with them

so he gave up and felt hurt by that

please protect hríd

Back to the rest of the analysis.

now let's talk about forging bonds, in the wiki there's only the opening part transcribed in japanese, the rest is only on english (i curse not having started playing 3 months earlier orz)

the first thing you can notice in the japanese version is how informal hríd is when he's stressed

while he speaks in an usually softer manner, here, he doesn't even greet ylgr and gunnthrá, he goes directly to "gunnthrá... ah, ylgr is here too" (he kinda does the same in the mainstory, where he just says “ah, fjorm, you’re okay... ylgr too :)”)

AND IMMEDIATELY, HIS NEXT TEXT IS HIM CALLING GUNNTHRÁ WITH "OMAE”

ALREADY DEEP INTO THE STRESS OF MÚSPELL INVADING THEM

this shows how easily stressed hríd gets and how much he lets his emotions dirve his attitude and actions (which makes sense with the part where he tells fjorm she should be the one wielding leiptr and not him, he's too emotional despite how much he tries not to be)

in these parts we also see some level of deattachment from gunnthrá, on english he goes "sister..." by the end of the opening conversation

in the jp, however, he stays silent, he doesn't even call her name

idk if it's just me overanalyzing it, but from my experience with animoo and vidya, it feels a little weird that he says nothing there, like he's thinking (this is probably foreshadowing hríd's inner feelings oof)

something that i particularily like about this event is that hríd seems so at ease when he's on the dreams, even in the english translation it seems like that he mentions it might be because he feels at ease with kiran but i feel like it also has to do with the fact they're just a dream, it's not the real world, there's nothing to worry in a world where there's no war

at least, that's the feeling his dialogues give me

the closest thing to that hríd is his lvl40 speech and ny hríd (who's happier)

the only quote where hríd mentions some type of concern for his mother btw

from here on it only gets worse when it comes to hríd, though

he speaks about the invasion and such he talks in a way that implies he's probably taking the role of a commander (same as how it is implied he trains the soldier, or that he trains with them, though since he's been training alone with fjorm for so long, it's most likely the former) aside from that, he's weighting on himself the responsibility of what happens to nifl and what happens to his family

and since he's doing so, here's when it comes the part of hríd not being able to care about himself

this young man is carrying a heavy weight, the hopes and dreams and lives of many innocent and PEACEFUL people who barely even know how to fight, on top of those of his loved ones

it doesn't seem like anyone asked him to, not even his mother or sisters

he just decided it on his own that he needed to be "the perfect prince/king" in order to "protect" them

/even if it costs him his life/

he prepared his sisters for that moment (which, might give an insight that hríd knew more than he says, but let's leave my conspiracy theories aside lol)

and to THAT PART, we can add this from the mainstory

in english, when he's rescued, he thanks them for doing so

but in the jp text he actually apologizes for it

not sure how to exactly translate it, but it's something along the lines of "my apologies...for having to be saved..."

idk you guys, but it sounds like what someone who just failed to commit suicide would say, instead of someone who's grateful to be alive

and it makes sense, with how obsessed hríd seems to be about "dying for his loved ones" despite it not being entirely necessary

i mean, look at that, he survived surtr and was aided by bruno as he escaped (probably? they never say what exactly happened, but since they're looking for hríd and not for bruno, it's most likely that they just found each other by accident)

and yes, even though he seems to calm down with those thoughts during the sequence, it is only a dream and we know he has no recolection of them

he forgets completely about that motivation to keep living, which leads him into further down the path of death  (whichinnorsemythologymightbecalledhríd,,,,,,orgjöll,,,ykow?)

im still not done, havent even gotten to his unit quotes lmao

hríd still did his best to survive for as long as he could, but it feels more like his strategic "i'm making time for fjorm and the askrans to make their moves" purely, out of the fact he didn't seem too happy to survive until he saw fjorm and ylgr

hat's all of hríd's quotes from that event, i can finally move on to his unit quotes

let's start with this one, luckily it is practically the same quote in both languages

this immediatelly counters any "hríd is boring" comment

though that is subjective, in my case what drove me even further into loving hríd was how different he was from usual characters related to ice

he might come off as cold sometimes, but it's purely because he's actually really dense/has a really bad sense of humor

in jp he tries to make an ice joke, but says "it's not suitable for him" (which is funny because in english he does have ice puns and i hate it)

1. he doesn't mention his mother 2. hríd blaming himself and being kinda gloomy part 1 

"I should have protected my people and sisters, I couldn't play that role... I can never forget that." 

this part hurts a lot (it's a little more poetic than the og one, i like it lol)

he could be talking about himself, about his sisters, his people, or all together, since the four of them have expressed desire for peace, and all four ended hurt by such thing

this part is scary, though it's not as much in english

NOT BECAUSE OF THE TRANSLATION, but because of his battle lines in eng (i'll get to that first and then come back to this one)

the most shockingly different skill trigger is the second one

the first one is exactly the same the third one in jp is "this is the last blow" (or smth like that) the fourth one is a little weird to translate (ice upon you works, but "freeze your life" sounds a little scary??)

OKAY BUT THE SECOND ONE ALONG WITH THE VOICE CLIP

IT KINDA SCARES ME A LITTLE FOR MY CUTE SWEET MOCHI BOY

it literally says "no mercy for the enemy"

IT'S LITERALLY SUGAR COATED, hríd went from a gentle giant to a merciless killer (who knows how many muspellians he's killed???) thanks to surtr and his fucking ass

hríd blaming himself and being gloomy part 2

the fact that he has not one, not two, not three, but about 5 to 6 lines that imply he's still dueling over everything that happened during the war is hurtful, he really can't forgive himself for that

he also sounds a little dead to me here (it’s one of the voiced quotes from his status page!)

which brings me back to the initial scary one

hríd is obsessed with earning his peace no matter what

and for that, he wants to get stronger

for that, he's willing to even perish, for everyone's sake

it's so sickening for me since i can kinda relate???? it reminds me a lot of the kind of wording they use for depression-themed japanese works, with the "peace" part and his willingness to just die anytime (which, is actually pretty normal for a warrior outside of FE. outside)

iT MAKES ME FEEL BAD BUT AT THE SAME TIME i kinda like he's written this way

AND EVEN WHEN HE'S LIKE THAT, hríd is still a gentle sweetheart who speaks so kindly you kinda forgets how merciless he is in the battlefield

like, the audio where he holds kiran's hands???? where he speaks about how the order of heroes saved nifl????? EVEN WHEN HE GETS STARTLED

he's always such a gentle and kind person

it makes me hate surtr even more because they didn't deserve this

hríd didn't deserve going through all of this fucking shit HE. DESERVED. HAPPINESS. AND PEACE.

then there's the ny hríd

he's an angel

a happy angel who makes me a little sad bc og hríd is not as happy

From here on everything was written like 2 weeks after the previous stuff :’) i’m sowwy

he's a resolute prince, he has the resolution of saving even at least one person,,,,,instead of being a "king", instead of being a "brother", or a "prince", he just wants to be "a hero",,,

hello, this is my opening statement of why ny hríd makes me cry with just existing

welcome

let us start with something that makes his quotes even better, particularily the previous quote and his lvl40 speech, which is the powerful meaning of this alt itself for a character such as hríd

in japan, new year used to be celebrated not at the end of the year, but at the end of winter, which is where geishun comes into the scheme, as it currently means "new years greetings" but in those old times, it was actually "welcoming spring" (or something along those lines i suck for precise translations)

and that's where our next quote comes into the picture

hríd speaks about nifl's winter, about how it practically symbolizes the nifleans' strength and will power

the alt itself is a more positive hríd, one who's willing to try his hardest for everyone, who doesn't regret his past, but looks into the future and has the purpose of being even better than before

of course, this hríd didn't suffer the same fate as the OG hríd, as he still has all 3 sisters (i want to believe ylgr was with them, just not shown bc of the lack of space for a sixth character) and now also 2 new allies to power their search for peace and strength to defend that peace

so, while our normal hríd is desparate to become stronger and suffers, this hríd is like his pole opposite, it's like the sun and the moon (too bad this hríd has no default special, sol would've fit him so well)

can we talk about how he feels so comfortable wearing the celebratory outfit?

the obi (the.....thing that acts as a belt) should be tied strongly enough so the hakama (the pants) doesnt fall down while he fights, yet he feels comfortable with it

i mean, it isn't as constrictive as a kimono as it doesn't prevent him from moving around freely, but he still shouldn't normally feel as comfortable with it as he is, he's never even worn something like that (it is implied, at least) yet he's loving it, isn't it adorable???

one time i joked about hríd being able to feel when winter is coming or when snow will start falling but

i think this quote pretty much confirmed it (YOU CAN'T SAY IT'S BECAUSE IT'S WARM, IT DOES SNOW IN ASKR WE'VE SEEN IT)

blessed boy munchs a whole fucking piece of mixed flour with FOUR HUNDRED GRAMS OF FUCKING SUGAR 

he's got a sweet tooth i know it, i know my people when i see them

it's just that he doesn't seem disgusted, and he also only mentions the mochi so we can assume he didn't drink sake or matcha with it

he ate the fucking thing alone and apparently liked it

we have a sweet angel, guys

i just think this quote is cute, he loves cold just as much as i love him

t HIS IS SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT FROM OUR NORMAL HRÍD HE'S SO POSITIVE AND DETERMINED I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

though in japanese, the last quote is a little more gloomy

im not entirely sure of how to properly translate it *looks at the jisho page of the kanji he cant understand* it's certainly a word

but it could be something like "to be in such a predicament from so early in the year... I'm unable to say it's pathetic..."

i???? imagine he says he "can't say it" because he's trying to be positive?????? or something along those lines, but saying it proves he's taking it way to the extreme

nasakenai can also be shameful or miserable, pitable, disgraceful stuff like that

i'm not sure how to describe this quote?

this time it's the english localisation that kinda throws me off, i don't understand what he's trying to say lmao

in japenese he's saying something about having been graced this early in the new year

7 years speaking english and i still can't break down complex phrases the only reason i've survived this long is through the power of deduction abilities

pray for me

u know hríd's damaged quotes in english are all grunts, right?

in japanese, this hríd has a peculiar quote i find adorable when he gets damaged

he says "as expected from you...!"

hE'S COMPLIMENTING HIS ENEMY, THIS IS THE SAME MAN WHO SAYS NO MERCY AS HE KILLS THE FOE

btw listening to his english quotes is so funny

he sounds so damn cool in japanese and in english he

he sounds like a fucking nerd

I THINK IM TAKING A LIKING TO HIS ENGLISH VOICE ACTING PURELY BECAUSE HE SOUNDS STUPID

compare this (JP) https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/feheroes_gamepedia_en/1/12/VOICE_Hr%C3%ADd_Resolute_Prince_SKILL_2_jp.wav

to this (ENG) https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/feheroes_gamepedia_en/6/6a/VOICE_Hr%C3%ADd_Resolute_Prince_SKILL_2.wav

it's the exact same quote by the two different VAs

HE SOUNDS LIKE A NERD IN THE ENGLISH VERSION I CAN'T

back to translations and analysis

i hate this one

his eng quote is more positive while the japanese one is something along the lines of "I was useless... I'm sorry..."

I

HATE

IT

look, say whatever you want, but hríd is such a sweet man

he cares for people and he tries his best to be the perfect prince everyone thinks he is

AND FOR HIS *MORE POSITIVE VERSION* TO SAY THIS AS HE IS DEFEATED IS JUST

WHAT DID HE DO TO U INTSYS TO MAKE HIM SUFFER THIS MUCH??

despite how "im so useless...!" his japanese version is

he way he says these two quotes sounds way more positive in japanese lmao it's the same translation, only that he's more "I'll repay you!!!!!!" in jp ( https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/feheroes_gamepedia_en/3/34/VOICE_Hr%C3%ADd_Resolute_Prince_MAP_3_jp.wav )

adorable

can’t use emojis on this pc so i’ll just leave the whole screenshot here

you see this quote here?

this is what it actually says

I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY CHANGED IT BUT I THINK IT'S CUTE BECAUSE I THINK HE DIDN'T JUST SWALLOW THE WHOLE MOCHI

HE ATE IT NORMALLY AND THINKS HE'S GOT SOME ON HIS CLOTHES BC PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT HIM LGHDSKLGSDFKS

why are u so cute aaaaaaa///////////

this is probably the translation of hríd's quotes i hate the most  in english it just...sounds so rude

in japanese it's more like "could you please tell me if i'm wearing these clothes wrong? i'll fix it fast"

he's trying to be respectful to the hoshidans sobs

THESE TWO QUOTES ARE SO DIFFERENT BUT SO EQUALLY ADORABLE AND POWERFUL

THIS 180~195CM OR SO MAN IS THE MOST ADORABLE PERSON IN THIS WHOLE PUTRID PLANET AND IM GOING TO TELL YOU WHY

first, this is my fave quote on english

he sounds so confused as to why people think the hoshidan clothes suit him

HE'S. NOT. AWARE. OF HOW FUCKING GOOD HE LOOKS.

TELL ME THAT'S NOT THE CUTEST SHIT EVER HE JUST DOESN'T GET IT

to make it more adorable, in japanese, the original quote is something like "I wonder what makes a type of clothing 'suit' you..."

HE'S GOING ALL PHYLOSOFICAL ON THAT SHIT probably because people keep telling him he looks good in that kind of clothing

this man's density is so powerful that he can't even begin to understand people find him attractive and that the attire literally makes him go from a 10 to a 1000000000000000000

he doesn't get it and he wants to know if it's really true so he goes out of his way TO ASK KIRAN

i love hríd so much he's so adorabl e

i want to give him a hug

with this i finish my thread for now

for now

hopefully we will get another alt for hríd and i can come back to spam about how adorable his quotes are

please stan hríd he's literally an angel

[bangtanhug]

Highlight of the dinner party

(my trans - so if its not perfect sorry.. i tried my best but dont blame me if i made a mistake please T-T )

 In the beginning they were debating how to cheer (with the alcohol) - Jimin suggested to go simple with Jjang (its often used when people clink glasses OR when they say something is good) - but Tae said let’s go with Eouuuuu -> Namjoon caught on quickly saying that you can interpret eouuu (the crying noise) into different things based on how you say it: it can show sadness, happiness etc etc - so they shouted eouuuu

They filmed this earlier again than their comeback +birthday (like every year) so they just thrown in their predictation for their achievements - funny, they predicted to land at #8 in top 100 but we all know they actually got #1 :D

Thay talked about the trip which was planned by Tae ( during festa there were pictures of it on the festa “magazine” - i dont know how to call it sorry hahah but im sure you remember it) -Jinmin slept in one room, Hoseok alone, Yoongi/Namjoon/Tae/Jungkook in one room but Jungkook couldn’t handle NAmjoon’s snoring so he slept somewhere else

They made Hobi drank for not putting the right amount of number on Yoongi’s cake lmao (there was a question about Yoongz’ brithday)...btw if you noticed he was drinking through a straw hahhaa also he is such a lightweight like at one point he blanked out and Namjoon even hurried Yoongi’s ith the questions because Hobi was getting red hahah

They scored each other’s style ...Seokjin said something about how face (your look) completes your style so even if your style is not good your face cane save it lmao...the confidence...  + They praised Namjooni saying if its fashin then its KimDaily ~..a.lso they said Jungkook has been the same for years :) - he only started to change recently [ this was where Tae hit hobi accidentally lmao]

BBMAs/AMAS talk - Yoongi said he cried after AMA but not because he felt like wow, yeah we did it (write history etce tce) but because of the pressure? - i hope i understood it well

my favourite one: IS it hard to be a maknae? it was a direct question to Kookie - Jimin or Yoongi even told him to be 100% honest, but Jungkook said its not that hard...it has never been (because he feels at ease with the hyungs)...he is more awkward with younger people

the next question about true happines??...or something which made them genuinely happy without force...Hobi said it was his mixtape (later he talked about how Namjoon and Yoongi taught him everything about music and how thankful he was for them) ...i didnt get Namjoon (sorry my skills are not on his level sorry) Jimin talked about how the rap line writes song for them, feeling always relatable because they are about them and even thanked them 

Suddenly we took a turn and we ended up with Namjoon and Yoongi talking about how Yoongi has music for Jimin...or in Jimin’s style? because it fits with him perfectly and Jimin was like: give me them, give me...and out of nowhere Tae said I will give you one ...BTW later they also talked baout how Tae was composing songs, Namjoon complimenting him and Jimin proudly saying that Hold Me Tight was also great and the beginning of V but that time the others /directs his words to Joonie˛/ doidnt take him seriously or there was a misunderstanding (sorry not clear) so Namjoon apologized and hugged Tae

Request of other members: Jimin pointed out something with the shoes..if im right, bangtan (Namjoon) doesnt put his soes in their places mostly hahah

MEmbers who you are thankful? - as I mentined before- Hoseok thank Yoongi and Namjoon for helping him improve as musician; Seokjin said Jimin: saying he is perfect , and hen he is having hard tie with dancing (namjoon too) he always helps them out ^^ ; Jimin pointed out the members, the team as his source of energy and teh reason why he works hard, Namjoon was talking about teh hard times during concerts; Taehyung revealed that when he was having a really hard time he received a long message from YOONGI!!!!! (everyone goes crazy over it) - Seokjin joked that eh barely got text from him, Namjoon saying that he gets short messages too hahahha Yoongi was csreaming from embarrassment - Yoongi said I love you in the end of his message ~ then it was revealed Jungkook also got message from Yoongi saying I love you at the end...and after that everyone was whining about how they want confession from Yoongi XD

what’s your motto in life ( i wont translate all of it because i already saw someone doing it on tumblr so...yeah...sorry t.t)

When I’m having hard time this is what i want to hear: - Tae isad: I love you then Jimin said that if Yoongu ever said i love you to him he would gain strength from it so Yoongi colly said: Jimina-ah i love you lol Tae was like after that: when i got the message i trie dto imagine how he would have sounded saying it (they asked him if it was similar) but tae imitated how he imagined it which was slightly different (NAmjin complainag again the lack of text from Yoongi’s part)

they they started the hardship of being an “idol” for being on the spotlight - the hardship how others see them - their stage “me” and real “me” struggle, the practice and yoongi was talking about the importance of family

- im getting tired...phew...my brain is freezing let me catch my breathe....-

btw my other highlight of the show was when Namjoon hurt his knee and Yoongi facepalmed or when Tae opened the soju hahah they were pretty funny in my opinion ~ also kookie admitting that he does 240 push-ups a day is pretty insane in my opinion lol   ...okay back to the main....

I didnt understand the next question ( im sorry im sorry...im going to study more in the summer to improve my korean ...im sorryT-T) but Jimin talked about a shooting experience if i get it right, saying that when it was cold he stopped thinking  (relatable lol)

they talked about school tests, and gave point out of 100 with different explanation to each other?  - they even joked that besides namjoon provbably nobody got 100 points on their tests  lol..and Yoongi even said that for his music exams he didnt get good results lol

last question: whats the meaning of happiness? ~ Jungkook siad: laughing/  Jimin joked at first but said he doesnt really know but something whcih makes him laugh, put him at ease? / Yoongi said he has been thinking about it for months but cant define it - basically you just feel it / NAmjoon: ...i cant ...im sorry i cant understand what namjoon says im so not on his vocab level that it hurts lmao / Seokjin: he talked about how he tries his best to lift up the mood / Hoseok said he thinks othervise than others - he said even if you’re happy you can cry? then Kookie said an idiom (once again im not on that level T-T) then Tae said happiness is when you dont have worry...he felt that when they went on the trip and he was just at peace, he gained lots of strength from it he just so happy during those days

Then Seokjin and Jungkook said the last words and they cheered ~

im sure there will be professional subs up soon...or some parts being translated  by others better than me ...but until they came out i wanted to at least help out others with that much i could understand...sorry if i made mistakes but i hope it was at least more than nothing ^^

Preferably with long sleeves bcs somehow you feel less of the sweaty feel compared to tshirt.

5 - sampling - data entry - RM as usual. Theres no new RM. Read a goood dramione fic by bex chan even if its not complete, its okay. Im okay :"))). Iftar was soup, salad, chicken katsu and french fries. Its been 2 days that i practiced sleeping-to-rain-sound. The first night was spent as a dreamless quick sleep (its over before you knew it), but tonight i dreamed abt almira's wedding lmaoo.

6 - no sampling today!! Still went to rsf tooo go to the mall w regen lmao. Did some data entry. Went to PP by mrt. Went back by going to halte gbk and thankfully the kalideres one arrived after only waiting for 5 mins. Its surprisingly quick, compared to lebak bulus - pesakih trip. Took abt 20 mins to jelambar.

7 - no sampling today too. Dr vera gave us lebaran cookies! Did gcp for bu suryati a5. Went to rm, finally finished the available rm. Went home early. Can finally relax since its the weekend.

8 - literally laid in bed til my body hurts. Rly want to read sumn but dunno what. Finally decided to read momoiro heaven. And rere hello. And after iftar i read lack of love. And just like tht, my saturday was gone. Cant bring myself to do things

9 - its another day of lazying (or self sabotaging, cant tell). Read spy family and its effin hilarious. Wasted my sunday. Cant bring myself to even move and i just laid in bed all day.

10 - last day of work in the weeekend lmao. Felt better than being in AR, but still not that much productivity. Went to RM. Phone call w fianti along the way to plan food in almira's bridal shower. Went back at 12-ish. Picked up my dress from risma busana. Walked to and fro halte kebon jeruk. Prayed zuhur close to ashar in kfc's mushola. Felt better after ~8k steps. Had homelab's green tea mixed with vsoy. It honestly made me feel better. Matcha, or caffeine, sure is amazing. At least i had a sense of normalcy before losing all the will to self-care

11 - consumed internet entertainment u til i was sick and tired of it. Watched a lot of cut videos. Granny came and stayed over. So i slept upstairs

12 - same as 11 but upstairs. More relatives came near iftar time so i excused myself to shower. Slept in mom n dads room at like 12-ish. Watched hp goblet of fire since keisha and karins newest obsession was draco. We squealed together over liking enemies to lovers trope haha,,,,

13 - Somehow all of dad's jakarta relatives came for lebaran. the last time i checked, there were some bridges being burned. prayed eid at home. watched perempuan tanah jahanam (which was surprisingly not scary). ate. napped. talked about personal things w keisha and karin. i cant believe the time has finally come where we talk about this kinda stuff. watched you’re next (it barely has any plot, just gore). they went back at about 8 pm and i just sleptttt yall lmao i didnt shower today. disgusting, i know

14 - cam barely get out of bed. Managed to shower at zuhur time. Watched dalbang and laughed like crazy bcs its just that funny. Read fanfics. Tiktok. Ate once and had greenfield yogurt at the evening. Fell asleep. Woke up at 1 and snacked on 1 pack of oat krunch

15 - run bts. Originally planned to go to flavola but it was still closed, so i went to dm's dunkin. Ordered orange juice and oeanut choco donut but somehow the price wasnt package price hhh. Turns out my clires account was somehow banned. So i contacted the admin. Instead of doing dr dafsah's excel i ended up taking off the makara sticker from my laptop. Bought some stuff for almira's bridal shower. Bought arirang at hari2 (its funny bcs yesterday i was seeing online marketplace, planning to buy it, but turns out hari2 the magical place had buy 2 get +1 deal for arirang.

20 - woke up at 2-ish am, played my phone, fell asleep at like 9?, woke up again at 11 lmaooo. went to sbux. had matcha latte. did some inaco work. todays the most productive ive been this week.

(45k after gopay pickup promo for 500 ml). reread bj alex lmaooooo found new tidbits

[ohoshi]

honestly you sold me there, i love idol groups who have like 2 braincells 🤣 i will willingly watch their one hour mafia games and debate night, i just watched their episode on knowing bros/men on a mission (which was prob like 80 min long...) and it was so hilarious omg i loved it!! minghao was so funny in it too even tho he is not the loudest in the group (which honestly i relate to a lot (the part about not being the loudest, not the part about being funny lmao)), and also his dance moves! so good! i can see why you bias him hehe; youtube has been recommending me the gose content lately and im excited to watch it :))

omg i know right...i asked my mom this (about how she remembers all the chinese characters) and she said apparently it is not as hard as it seems bc a bunch of characters are compound words (using two different characters to make one word or something)? but i think it is prob still hard if you forget a word or something bc you can't sound it out like in english. that's why i decided to learn hangul honestly bc the korean writing system is so much simpler (and makes sense) compared to other asian languages LOL. that's so cool that you could act as the translator for your family and the woman in french! did you learn french on your own or do you just naturally pick up languages easily? it is def true you forget languages when you use them less, my canto is a lot less smooth when im not at home (like i am now bc of covid). but i think at least you will have a foundation for the language so that helps a lot for practicing it again!!

wait that makes sense about china line making korean easier, like when lucas speaks i feel like i can kinda understand him better bc he's not as fluent in korean as the native members?? i do also know some veryyy basic japanese from watching anime hahaha but i think i am less familiar with it now bc i watch way more korean content nowadays 😂

ahh you understand me about hating bugs <3 im honestly not a huge fan of real nature besides like basic hikes on paved paths 😂 also i totally get u about being scared of heights, my mom and brother both are too 😬 i do know how to swim (i actually had to take a swim test for my college to graduate lmao), but when i was younger i rly didnt like water but since i was forced to learn to swim i think im okay now? i am lowkey afraid of the ocean tho bc it's so big and also i've watched too many shows about sharks in the water lol (even tho i know thats prob a bit irrational). oh another thing i dont really like is intense rollercoasters...im okay with the ones that dont go upside down, but there are ones that are at like 90 degree angles and go backwards and im like nooooo thanks 😅

OMG i just looked up jeonghan with long hair and i also legit thought he was a woman 😧 (but a very beautiful one) and yea i totally didnt know he and joshua (jihan) were a thing! are they like the nomin of svt 🥺 joshua seems like he has such a calming aura and jeonghan seems like the prankster of the group hehe. im interested to see if my biases will change as i watch more svt content!

also merry xmas eve!! cant wait to officially “meet” you tmrw hehe (it is actually still the 23rd for me rn bc of time difference but yea same thing) 🎄🤶✨

HAHDGA me too!!!! hahah yeah i loved the ep!! yeah hao is a very quiet guy, he just loves to listen and observe i guess but he can be pretty savage sometimes jahsdga i love him<3 also his dance moves!!!!! 😍 OMGG I’M so happy we should definitely keep fangirling over svt even when this is over!!! 

ohhhhhh i see, interesting!! ohhh yeah i think korean writing system is easier, too; when i see chinese character to me they doesn’t look like letters yk? in my mind i see it as a tiny drawing i should memorize the meaning of, while hangul does seem like weird letters, but still letters 😅 i guess that’s because both you and i use latin (and i also use cyrillic) alphabet to write so it does seem weird to us? but perhaps it seems so natural and easy to your mom for example or someone who uses chinese characters to write! uhh i learned french in school but in addition to school classes i also learned it on my own bc yeah i reeeally love languages and i naturally pick up a new language easily, i guess that’s my talent 😅 but yeah you’re right! if i ever need it guess it’ll be easy to refresh my memory! ohh so you’ve been practicing canto more lately hmm??

yeahh i completely understand lucas and also winwin and i love them for it<3 yeah i get it, i’m definitely better at korean hahaha 

ikr haha tho i love nature, truly, but it scares me 😅 omggg you had to take a swimming test to graduate???? 😨 sounds like a nightmare to me omggg what were you majoring in??? i was also forced to swim when i was younger (i guess in my surroundings everyone knows how to swim so yk it was expected from me too, which is when i developed the fear of water 😅) but i never learned ✌️ yeah and ocean is so unexplored so who knows what else lives down there 😨 it’s okay to be irrationally scared of everything<3 (at least that’s what i tell myself) OMG ROLLERCOASTERS ANOTHER THING I HATE (you saw this coming from my fear of heights, right) lmao i’m such a coward 

yeah he is beautiful<3 uhh well idk they don’t remind me of nomin but they are very comfortable with each other, and they also entered the company around the same time and they’ve been close since their trainee days; some would say they are angel/devil couple in svt (jeonghan being the devil ahgsdfah) so you’re very much right!! i, too, am curious to see if your biases in svt change 🥺

AHH YEAH I CAN’T WAIT EITHER i am so excited omg 🥺 it’s 24th rn at my place so!!! merry christmas eve!!!!! 🎄💚

oh it’s actually pretty cute

riko :(((((((

OMG SHE SICKED IT ON HER HAHAHA

run riko run

that leap tho wow

riko still looks rather uncomfortable

oh so the dog is being cared for here because pets aren’t allowed at yoshiko’s place

i know where this is going

come on riko you can do it

AND SHE SICS IT ON HER AGAIN LMAO

and she actually agrees to take it in

of course the dog can’t eat when the food is outside its cage riko

is that how she’s gonna feed it? pretty clever but poor doggo just wants to be friends with her aw

they can’t really concentrate on practice can they

wtf is that line of thinking yoshiko

??????

“We’ll go get the dog back.” Excuse me what?????

isn’t that gonna be illegal

that’s like… stealing private property isn’t it

yoshiko i understand you’re still hung up over that dog but this is madness

riko do something

at least she’ll keep yoshiko from doing anything too absurd

okay now this is just trespassing

oh she came back? and with food? how sweet

don’t be stubborn yoshiko

and she takes it :)

so riko really did want to see the dog

haha they even synchronize in eating

oh yoshiko gets serious

ah yes ive read about her penchant for attracting misfortune in SID

this is fine. she’s opening up to Riko

she’s aware fallen angels dont exist but she’s doing it as a way to make her bad luck feel less bad

and bc it’s just nice to believe in shit like invisible forces and destiny

so she believes that dog was brought to her by fate

oh the rain stopped. this is new.

“Here. Some Laelaps”?

OH IT’S BECAUSE THE DOG IS NAMED ANKO AHAHAHAHA

love that riko still protests it should be “nocturne”

oh the dog actually came out

well there’s your chance to go grab it and run :))))))))

not that i think yoshiko can actually do that

oh will it notice her

it actually worked??

oh it doesnt recognize her anymore :(((

yoshiko looks so miserable haha :(

aw riko’s cheering her up

“invisible powers” :’’’)

“I, Yohane, hereby certify you as one of my elite little demons!” OMG

is she gonna call her “riri” now come on please

oh she didn’t

BUT THIS IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING I EVER HOPED FOR THANKS

THE SHIP HAS SAILED

congrats riko

SHE CALLED HER YOHANE

[queernuck]

I have a huge problem with getting out of my house/room. I've only held down one job but lost it when I cursed out management. I had it for a year but if I'm honest interviews is what scare me more than anything. I just feel too dumb to fulfill tasks as well. I also can't fake courtesy. I know I need a job but I keep lazily convincing myself it all doesn't matter. I'm stuck?

yeah, the thing about interviews is that they can often be taxing, they take a lot out of you even if the performative aspect comes from, is based in, honesty; I love books, fuckin love ‘em, manga too, and yet i had a lot of fear or worry or general unease or nervousness in my interviews for the job i have rn. im lucky in that i have a general aptitude for interviews but still, nerves. 

and in a lot of ways, it doesn’t matter so long as like, you have food, have a roof over your head, you can get by. sometimes getting by is all you do and honestly that’s not the worst thing. you’re already articulated within numerous assemblages of structural violence just by like, existing As You Are, and subject of those one way or another you hopefully aint doin too much harm. like, it doesn’t matter, you dont need to think of yourself as incredible or even particularly good at a job to get it done, there really isnt that much wrong with not having ambition that translates easily into a “job” tbh

but that reassurance comes along with the practical, that a job can make other things easier, that money can be good to have, that the way a job “forces” interaction can be helpful. I know that i have at the very least questioned my own identity at different times while “working” and that the type of woman I am has been focused as a result, in part, of working in a lot of stuff where I have to deal with people who come into something ready to like me and people who want someone to be pissed at

being “fake nice” can be tough and i have a lot of practice that comes from being abused and also just being depressed so like im a bad role model but hey like, the performative aspect is all about figuring out what end your actions are toward. I want to be nice to customers so they’ll say nice things and buy things and as a result help me accomplish certain things but also I just encounter people as a cashier and many people are just innocuous or in fact themselves very kind and I want to generate positive experiences with them. other people I fake nice to because I know I need to and like, what’s great is that you can feel like you have a moral high ground lmao. like seriously it’s great to be able to see what sort of people are doing shit like buying the Milo book or like what sort of person actually wears copaganda t-shirts, and knowing someone is a shithead while you smile at them and they can’t do anything about that is vaguely cathartic. it’s not some passive kill them with kindness bullshit, it’s take ‘em for whatever you can given the violent artifice of capitalism. 

but it is tough, it takes practice, and maybe you can find something which isn’t very customer/client facing. fulfilling tasks may be difficult in certain scenarios, like when you don’t know what you’re talking about, but I fulfilled plenty of tasks when working in a college campus bookstore and knowing sweet fuck-all about what was being studied but knowing well the systems by which these things were understood. Same with recommending a lot of books: I’m v v v much in a corner for book recommendations so like, when I can’t just go “Okay so like Kafka, Foucault, or some manga” I harken upon what coworkers have told me!

in interviews, at work, in a lot of places, It’s Okay To Lie. Lying can be in many ways part of an engagement with structures of “truth” that is value-neutral, that is not betraying yourself. it’s bad to lie maliciously but like, making a recommendation that you don’t wholeheartedly agree with but you know someone is relatively likely to be receptive to, one based off of things you get, that you understand? not that bad!

basically what im saying is that my boss hates pumpkin spice but said today that she’ll say she loves it if she thinks she’ll be able to persuade someone to get a PSL. interviews, tasks, completing things, having a job can just be about showing up and being willing to put yourself out there for the right price.

[TRANS] 170528 Lee Youjin V Live Broadcast (PD101S2)

Lee Youjin, one of the eliminated trainees from Produce 101, held a live broadcast on Namoo Actors V App channel last night! He answered fan questions and talked about his time in Produce 101 so here are some highlights about what he said about the other trainees.

Fan Questions:

The trainees he was closest to were his roommates at the start of the program! He roomed with Yoon Jisung, Kim Sihyun, Lee Hoorim, Kim Hyunwoo from YG K+. He couldn’t give Jisung a call bc he was probably busy (the only one left on the show).

He talked about how he was the leader twice during (for Be Mine team 2 and Rhythm Ta). He thought being leader would be easy bc he only needed to guide and lead the other members but it was a lot more difficult than he thought.

For Be Mine, he couldn’t really help the other members with learning the dance so he felt sorry towards them. Maybe if he had chosen an easier song they wouldn’t have had such a hard time. “Truthfully i couldn’t be of any help to the others, but through our struggles we got closer and did well.“

He really likes Park Jaebum’s (Jay Park) style so that’s the reason why he chose some of the concepts that he did on PD101! He wanted to be sexy like him (t/n: I think he’s talking about his performance evaluation)

The staff played Pick Me in the background but since he was caught off guard, he was able to dance only part of it. He said the trainees practiced it so much he could do the dance in his sleep.

He promised to try and call Taewoo later! He’s in a group chat with Taewoo and Taemin so they talk a lot. They’re really fun and interesting.

A fan commented “add me to the chat too~” so he said “send us your ID (t/n: kakaotalk ID)” lol

A fan asked “Who is the most handsome in PD101″ and he said “Everyone is handsome!”

He showed off the headphones he got for completing the first stage of maboy.

Youjin’s Pick Corner! 

The staff set up a bracket board to see who Youjin’s pick was among his fellow contestants on PD101. When he saw the board he said, “Wow, this is like picking for the World Cup.”

First Round:

Lee Woojin vs. Kim Yongguk vs. Jung Sewoon (he said Woojin is cute but Sewoon really helped him with the hardships of being a leader. Even though they weren’t close, they talked and texted so he was really touched. That’s why he picked Sewoon)

Lee Insoo vs. Hong Eunki vs. Kang Daniel (he chose Daniel bc he was the leader for 열어줘 and taught them a lot. Youjin said everyone in the group was already good so he had to match them well)

Kim Donghyun vs. Im Youngmin vs. Joo Jinwoo (he depended on Youngmin a lot during Be Mine and is very thankful towards him)

Kang Dongho vs. Takada Kenta vs. Kim Taewoo (he picked Taewoo bc he’s funny, sings well, and is bright. He got really close to him during the show)

Lee Kiwon vs. Yoon Heeseok vs. Kim Seonglee (he picked Seonglee and said he had enough skills to compete in any program. During practice he would lift the mood and make the trainees happy but it wasn’t broadcasted)

Lee Gwanghyun vs. Park Sungwoo (he picked Sungwoo and pet the sticker with his face on it lolol. Although Sungwoo endured a lot, he was always by Youjin’s side. They were together for Be Mine and also for 열어줘 before being eliminated. Even though Youjin was having a hard time too, he felt sorry for not being able to help him)

Second Round:

Jung Sewoon vs. Kang Daniel

Im Youngmin vs. Kim Taewoo (he chose Taewoo bc they both fell down the ranks together(?) lol)

Note: I’ll be subbing this segment and posting it on YouTube soon! I’ll link it here when it’s done and uploaded.

Update: here is the subbed segment!

More unrelated PD101 things are under the cut! Translation by @softsnuper (may not be 100% accurate)

Youjin felt a little shy and embarrassed bc he was filming V Live alone and there were a couple Namoo staff members watching him.

He has a lot of white clothing, even white shoes.

A fan asked about the meaning of his username nay_kid and he said it meant something like “live a sincere life.” Another way of saying “no” was “nay” and “kid” is to remind him of his dreams when he was a student.

He was drinking coffee throughout the broadcast. He loves americano.

When he reached 50k hearts, he got really shy from all the love.

A fan asked if he was okay and he said yes, he’s okay and will even get checked up at the hospital so do not worry!

He has 7 self-composed songs so far! He has a lot more songs he wants to make but he doesn’t have a room for it. He wants to upload 2 songs in one month on his soundcloud.

A fan asked “you know you’re handsome, right?” and he said no, he didn’t find himself handsome but he does like how he looks and personally thinks he’s cute!

A fan asked if he was thinking about releasing an album but he said that although he wants to, he wants to work on the quality of his music a bit more and in order to release an album, he needs the support of the public/community so he’ll just upload the album on soundcloud. That way, it’s free for everyone to listen to!

A fan commented “Remember to drink a lot of water!” and he replied with “I only drink a lot of coffee.”

A fan asked “Is pressing hearts important?” and he replied with “I don’t know but please press a lot!!”

He wasn’t good at aegyo before but now he’s a lot better.

A fan asks where he learned to be so talented (?) and he said “Maybe it’s in my blood.”

He has two sisters, one older who cooks well and one younger by 6 years. He’s a bit cold like his father but his mother and older sister like to take care of him. He never fights with his sisters. Since his younger sister is still young, he hopes she studies diligently and doesn’t drink alcohol. His and his older sister’s hair looks similar. He wants to care for his younger sister too but he doesn’t really know how.

Someone asked about his taste in music but he made a pass on the question bc his answer would be too long LOL

He’s holding an event where he’s giving away items that he uses often, these includes a tracksuit he wears (for girls it may be a bit big but it’ll be warm! size 100), sunglasses, and some signed selfie polaroids.

He showed the viewers the items one by one. The sunglasses were in a case with a zipper and when he opened it the zipper fell off LMAO he kept saying it wasn’t fake, the zipper just happened to fall off bc he pulled too hard and kept laughing lololol

He had the viewers guess who his favorite artist was and promised to gift them the tracksuit! He said even tho he’s worn it, he’ll keep it very clean.

His favorite artist is Giriboy! He said when others are stressed, they may drink but he listens to Giriboy’s music instead. He really admires all of his music, it inspires him. He can sing all of his songs; his favorite by him is called “All Day Long” but not many people know it.

The second prize was the sunglasses. There’s a play he always watches every year ever since the 12th grade, he wants to participate in one bc of it. (t/n: the fans were able to guess what is was but I couldn’t really catch the name of it, sorry)

Third prize was a signed polaroid selfie! When he took the selfie and waited for it to show up on film, he kept shaking it and when he realized he wasn’t supposed to shake it, he got embarrassed.

He wrote one of his songs after watching a specific movie (t/n: I couldn’t hear the title sorry) but the song is called “Why Don’t You Call Me”.

He had a lot of fun doing the V Live bc he knows how it feels to be a fan of another person and watch their broadcasts, now he can be the one doing the broadcast and it’s fun!

He wants to take on a high school student role in his acting career bc when he’s older he won’t be able to act as a student.

He eats alone and doesn’t have a favorite food but the foods he can’t eat is tomato sauce and mustard.

His least favorite season is summer bc he dislikes mosquitoes. He likes winter bc there’s snow and Christmas. It gives him a warm and cozy feeling.

When he was younger he really liked Harry Potter, his favorite part of the series was Chamber of Secrets! (This was another quiz question for the viewers, he gave away another signed selfie polaroid)

He wants to communicate with fans more but he can’t do V Live whenever he wants and he doesn’t have a fancafe :(

Thoughts on 3rd Rokkaku (Cast & Songs)

Thoughts on Rokkaku 3rd

Since Rikkai has started, and of course a new Rokkkaku song is there, I thought now would be the best time to write my opinion on the DVD from Rokkaku. I have not watched it live, so this rant may be a bit lacking, but I'll try my best anyways. Please note that everything under the cut is only my opinion and definitely not representative for everyone and may contain errors.

More under the cut

Overall Wow, this is a really cute team! It seems that they kept the fresh and lively behaviour of Rokkaku, but in comparison with 2nd, they're a bit toned down, and compared with 1st they're a lot more fresh so I'd say it's a mix between both. Since this group has a lot of age differences, it's a bit harder to see their "cameraderie", but they did a good job and I feel like they will definitely grow as a team.

They’re a silly team

Yashiro Takuya - Aoi Kentarou Okay. This Aoi is definitely my most favorite Aoi (until now). The thing I immediately felt from him was his maturity, especially in the case of a character like Aoi, who practically exists to be cute and hyper. If not for his seniors, I would definitely have thought that he was the most professional actor in Rokkaku. He's well rehearsed, as is apparent in his speeches that tend to be very scripted and don't make a lot of place for emotions and crying, despite being one of the youngest members. Even in comparison with Miura, I believe he was a very good captain in correlation with his age. Of course he has his natural cuteness going for him, which is a 10 (sorry dude that you have to shave your hair), when I first saw the casting I was really dying because of his cute face. 

When someone slips into your shot but somehow it isn’t Saeki or Ryou.

Things I especially liked about him were the moments after his playstyle was revealed. Not only his movements, but also his expressions and general feeling changed into something a lot more dynamic and terrifying, much like in the BaneDavi match. That said, he does an amazing switch between his three personas, the professional off stage, the "I want to be popular" on stage and the "I will definitely beat you" in his match.

Arguably not the best picture

Futaba Kaname - Saeki Kojirou Saeki is by far my least favorite member of Rokkaku, because I usually view him as a enrichened white slice of bread. When I first saw the casting visual of Saeki, I did not have a lot of expections, and I was not in the mood to stalk Kaname's twitter a lot. Now that I've watched the musical, I have only one thing to say. Wow, this dude is handsome. Is it shallow? Perhaps. He has a big mouth, which makes for weird singing faces. But when he doesn't he manages to look handsome 99% of the time, and his smile really helps with that. Uh I should return to gushing about personality right. Saeki is a whimiscal, perfect, and oblivious character that tends to annoy the shit out of me. Futaba nailed that part absolutely. Things that come to mind are the adlibs: "No, I'm not popular at all" upon which Kenchan calls him out like the big fat liar he is. Same for the "Am I not a god?". He totally knows it. 

So, you wanna fuckin go Fuji?

A different part that Futaba portrayed extremely well, probably a part of his own personality was his "coolness". He practically screamed "Kakkoii" and sometimes it felt like he needed no effort at all. He's probably the heartthrob of many new enrolled Rokkaku 3rd fans lmao. My favorite part of Saeki was when he got slapped by Ryou. All in all, Kaname was very Saeki, a lot more oblivious than 2nd and really cool.

How uselessly handsome

Hinata Kento - Kurobane Harukaze MUSCLE MAN. Bane was always a big bro in my eyes, emphasis on bro, but after Rokkaku 3rd I feel like it has changed to big. When casting was revealed, I remarked that his face was really cool, but when I stalked him on instagram and came to know that he was super duper ripped as well, I knew this was the Bane in my heart. Mossan is still my pedestal Bane, and it hasn't changed, but I heartily accept this Bane. Kento made good use of Bane's speech style, had a lot of very little interactions that made his character come alive and was good at the "DAVIDE I'M GOING TO KILL YOU". 

He was especially good at these faces

A minor point was that he didn't nearly laugh as much, since he was too busy with his Tsukkomi. From his twitter, he has a really huge smile, but in play itself, it seemed like it got pushed away, so I missed his bro. Moments I appreciated of him were for example mouthing the whole song of Onna no kara chuu, needing Davide's retribution slap and being some sort of mentor senior thing to the same aged Shudo. ShudoBane friendship lived in this one, and the same happened with Ryou, so that part was very appreciated.

This is what the BaneDavi dynamic felt like.

Shinnosuke Takagi -  Itsuki Marehiko Not a lot can be said of him, because with Icchan being my favorite character, he has absolutely 0 screentime, which makes for a hard time trying to know what the heck he's doing really. As usual, they left out the part where they mention that Icchan is a sensitive (clam gatherer) player, which quite adds to his character, but it seemed they casted on looks and not on noseness (can't blame them). Each generation of Icchans seems to get a lot cuter as well, which I really don't mind. Now, as to what I think about Shinnosuke, it's probably that he really looks like a nice person. I really can't exaggerate and be like OMG HE'S SUCH A CUTE MINI BUCHOU, he's super handsome and cool wtf, WHAT A BRO THE MUSCLES AAH... Nope I can only think of how nice he looks, or quoting a fellow Rokkaku fan: "He is shaped like a friend." And he is, I would definitely want to be friends with him. He looks like a total mom as well.

Yes, position for mom is still open

Moments I liked about him were in the senshuuraku, with the adlibs, when Bane and co go to kidnap Saeki in order to kill him, he crouched down in his fetus position, which I though was a really nice touch, since it's kind of the trait how I fell in love with him (and subsequently became a Rokkaku stan OKAY I KNOW A BOY CRYING UNDER A PIER IS NOT THE BEST PROPAGANDA BUT IM WEAK). Another part is when Davide slaps Bane, and Bane slaps Shudo. His concerned face is really adorable and Icchan like.

With Saeki, he just makes fun of him

Sakagaki Reiji - Amane Hikaru Oof this is my struggling point. Again, I'll admit that my first impressions of him were..biased. That's to say, he looked like a fish. After stalking even more media, I was really convinced that they chose the worst face. He looked dead in all kind of media, and he didn't know how to shave probably, which was not really bothering me but it made for quite an enigmatic figure. When the cringy introduction videos were released, it was then that I accepted him, as he had a very Davide feeling in his puns. So in the looks department, he was definitely not lacking when it came to the stageplay itself. Holycow he was so cool and uh, mature in the more adult way? He definitely got a shot of Shiraishi I think lol. He was the objective best one in singing and dancing I believe, (SHAKE THOSE HIPS) and had a really cool feeling. He lacked a bit in the acting department (all his shit eating grins come to mind), but he was a very good choice for a musical that is usually populated with inexperienced actors. 

Rennaisance worthy On what his Davide was, wow Davide you're such a shit. It felt like he changed the "dependent" Davide to the "brat" Davide. It felt a bit more off, since I was really used to the sweet cat that 2nd was, and not the shit cat 3rd, but in the end, I'm really weak to assholes, so I kinda liked his interpretation. All in all, I prefer the characterization of 2nd, while also appreciating how shitty 3rd was. I have no particular favorite moment of him, perhaps I would say the "Sumash ni Shimasu", line he had in his match. Somehow he looked really really cool there.

A super cool Mizuki twirl

Sato Yugo - Kisarazu Ryou Ah, this Kisarazu wasn't nearly as vain as fancy as I wished for him to be, simply because Yugo seems too sweet for me.  Yugo was pretty much my fav actor from pre-Rokkaku (cause again, I'm weak to tears) and I was looking forward to tears in Rokkaku, but it seems like he has hardened into a veteran Tenimyu. In comparison with 2nd, he missed a little bit of the outgoing bitch personality and instead became the more canon introvert bitch.

Protecting your hair is your first defensive mechanism?

What can I say about Yugo, except him being buff but still pretty enough to pull of the horrible wig. He definitely makes Ryou a lot more capable, with his breakdancing and all which adds a cute touch. I feel like he did a very good job at portraying the somewhat more, petty side of Ryou. Moments that come to mind are like when Saeki entrusts his jersey to Ryou, upon which Ryou gracefully accepts it, folds it and then sweeps it off the bench to the ground or pushes it to Shudo. Also the Saeki slap. That's still such a beautiful moment.

Dumping your responsibilities on the team pet

Chiba Kota Shudo Satoshi Would it be hypocritical to say that this guy is my fav actor now despite having the least to say about him? He's horribly cute, has a really nice face and looks like a really nice guy. The thing I was suprised by was his voice. It doesn't seem to fit his face at all, but it's so lively and has a raspy cuteness to it. That said, while I thought that he would be a lot more calm and cute offstage, it seems that he really keeps the Shudo persona in both places. While I characterized Shudo as a brave, somewhat more stoïc individual that happened to make stupid choices, they really decided to exaggerate his character in a very pleasant way, which translated to YOLO AHAHAHA WHAT IS THIS DRINK non preservation mode Shudo. My second OTP after Saegoku is ShudoRyou, and while I don't really want to relate this to the actors, ShudoRyou lived during the stage.

Adorable...

Especially the adlib with Satoshi-kun and Ryou-chan was everything I needed to establish a beautiful scenario in my mind. Another moment was Shudo jumping on the bench and pushing of Kisarazu, after which gets Shudo of the bench again. The Inui adlibs could get a bit repetitive, but it's okay, seeing Shudo roll off screen multiple times makes anyone's day brighter. I love Shudo. Protect him from himself.

He has a really precious  :<> expression

Songs

Nice People Good People You know, the name of the song already killed me. And I will be honest, the first thing I thought when I watched this song was how horrible it was compared to the other super cool songs the other schools got. However, after 500 repeats, I grew to like it as the best most ultimate good song that tenimyu could deliver. It seems like Rokkaku now has a theme that focusses on geometry lol? Everything about it was really cute, though I have to admit that the singing felt more like shouting in a melodious way to me. Bane and Amane didn't stand out, they were more like shouting all the time, but it was the first time I could see how captivating Reiji was as Davide. Icchan looked like a happy man, and Saeki was needlessly cool of course. I really liked the choreography they did between BaneDavi and SaeIcchan's singing parts, the circling while turning on the beat was somehow really cute... Aoi looked a bit constipated, but that's what usually happens when you always close your eyes and have a relatively big mouth. After all, Kisarazu's performance was the first one that didn't immediately sounded like shouting to me and his experience was really apparent. Shudo was shouty, but his happy face when Kisarazu is singing and he is pointing his racket around was really adorable. A Rokkaku worthy song, not enough wiggle, but a very fun choreography, needs more geometry.

Highlight

Shabadada Adult. I never imagined i would like Shabadaba as much as I absolutely loved Scatto scat, but BaneDavi blew me away, partly due to how amazing Davide was in that one. His dancing was perfect, and it was at that moment that I accepted that Sakagaki would definitely be the Davide closest to the actual David statue. Again, shake those hips and shoulders. I'm glad they decided to put in a shoulder pump Bane line,cause thats what Bane's all about. Bane unfortunately didn't get a lot of solo singing time, and when he did, he was shouting his way through so that was a minor point, but his arm muscles and beautiful exaggerated expressions made up for it. All in all, Sakagaki is really really handsome.

Why is this here? Someone explain

Acrobatic and genius Futaba unfortunatly didn't have the smooth voice 2nd had, which he made up for with sheer power. He ended his lines very breathy, something I definitely didn't expect since his music videos (okay I stalked his media a little) had him with a very light voice, that he somehow exchanged in the musical for a deep voice.I think he still can improve a lot on it, if he somehow managed to get rid of the unecessary vocal inflexions (lol no idea what im talking about). The song was a great example of how uselessly handsome Saeki is, really a big but handsome  showoff. Shinchan did pretty as well despite falling short of breath a lot of times. I could imagine his voice as being a bit nasally though, so it was all fine.

Saeki, stop overcompensating, Icchan , your collar is adorable

Onna no kara chuu By far my favorite new song that Rokkaku got, MINI BUCHOU IS THE CUTEST. Not only did Takuya really surprise me with his vocal evenness (I expected nothing since his voice sounded like Horio to me at first) he also seems to have a natural happy and cheery feeling to him in the song, which couldn't really be said for other Aoi's. The song also got a lot more cooler, this time also adressing the pressure playstyle a bit more. 

BaneDavi cheering on mini Buchou from the stands, I believe Saeki would have liked that place too

The second part is the benchwork. Ranging from Ryou benig fussy about his hair when Kenchan sings about women, to Icchan's preliminary kisses and Shudo having this enourmous MWAH kiss. Speaking about kisses, it seems like Saeki, Bane and Amane put more focus on the "cool" airkisses and Ryou on the direct kiss, but uh that's definitely not what this song is about right. Other cute parts include Kento mouthing parts of the songs, Yugo doing a really agressive hagu hagu, but like very agressive, Davide accidentally falling of the stand during the chorus and Bane repriminding him a little bit (Reiji really makes a lot of mistakes huh). The choreography was a mix between chicken dance and some japanese girlish idol band, which I absolutely don't mind. Yes, give me more super adorable buchou songs. One day I want to compare all the buchou solo songs, ranging from Tachibana's impressive Kejime, Tezuka's powerful stoic songs, really fancy Atobe songs, Gangsta mafiosa Kite, Shiraishi's ecstasy and Yukimura's god songs VS mini buchou who wants to kiss a girl. Best buchou.

Various expression of chuus

Conclusion I love Rokkaku 3rd. I'm really looking forward to their party song in Rikkai (apparently Saeki rocks his solo) and more adlibs. There is so much more to say, but I'm afraid I've gone on too long.

Thanks for withstanding this mini essay!!
