[gem-de-lune]

might seem like a weird question but hear me out lol. Is there something that represents BRII7E in Seunghan and/or the members’ minds? Something that we are like to him/them? I remember a reading you did for Seunghan where it referred to us as “his stars that drive him forward”. Does he see us that way or as something like that?

Soooo this ended up being a bit more profound than I think we were expecting lolol.

Initially as an overall energy for this reading as far as how all the boys feel, I've pulled the 6 of Cups.

This is very spot on if you are familiar with my Riize readings at all- and indicates some overall pleasant memories and feelings, particularly that they look back on. But the keyword here is memories as in past tense. I digress.

In pulling for Seunghan I was thinking he would say something more tangible as you had stated like stars. But he was shockingly more profound- the members even more so but we will get to that in a bit. Just dont be shocked by these pulls!

I also wanna put out there and I have said this MANY times but Seunghan does NOT differentiate between OT6 and OT7 the way other members do. He sees everyone and understands everyone and this is such a lovely unique quality of his that both makes him loveable and beautiful as well as hurts him sometimes. Please keep this in mind- he does not really hate anyone, even those who hate him.

How Seunghan Sees Briize:

Death, Page of Swords, The World

I know it seems kinda daunting. Let's start with the page. This one is almost to the T what Briize is to begin with. Victory seeking and seeking to put forth plans and actions. However, she is also literally the breeze carrying out everything. Swords are of the air element. I believe Seunghan truly sees Briize as the wind that can carry a seemingly hopeless bird like himself to new horizons. He has been able to keep going so many times solely due to Brii7e and their effort and love towards him.

The Death card always screams ending to me. But paired with the World card here, it's giving "you are my end and my beginning". There is a song that immediately popped up in my head which is Outro: Tear by BTS (group unrelated it's just the lyrics I'm talking abt here that are helpful in deciphering this complexity of emotion) and the final lines of the song are:

"You're my beginning and my end, that is all. My meeting and my farewell, that was all. You were everything, and from now on, my fear will be repeated, caused by you, tear, tear."

(The 2nd to last "tear" is tear as in tearing paper, and the final "tear" is tear as in crying.)

This is a super complex feeling. On one hand he sees Briize as EVERYTHING quite literally. The sole benefactor, the ones that control his fate. Sometimes he may feel grateful and others sad that more cannot be done. As if he is begging on his knees for more whilst knowing it can't be. Like begging to a God who has shown you mercy but can only do so much for you. He may feel bad for being slightly resentful sometimes. But at the same time, Brii7e is his only lifeline. He cannot remain bitter or blame Briize, he is just hyper aware of the fact that everything that is- is only due to Briize. He is scared that one day the cycle of life will run it's course and he will also have to face this death- an ending of sorts. Until now he has always been awakened by Brii7e. He will always be able to move forward because of Brii7e, but at the same time there's this fear that maybe one day you will no longer be there to lift him up.

I hope that made sense. Briize is quite literally his everything. His Breeze. Beginning and end. Everything in between. The air he breathes that keeps him alive.

Like I said, it is very profound and way more complex than I could have expected as usually Seunghan is rather- not surface level but just not as clear when it comes to deeper emotions. He must have had time to think about this in the physical realm.

If I had to give this emotion a literal tangible representation, another prominent analogy is that of a plant's life cycle.

If Seunghan is like a flower, Briize is everything from the sun that shines on him, maybe burns his petals from how bright it is, the water that satiates him, the earth that he roots himself in, the wind that carries him as a seed once he withers to start all over again.

I was going to also do the other members, but they seem to be in disagreement about something amongst themselves. Not in relation to SH- but in relation to all of their fans as a whole. Please do not ask if the member don't want SH back- it isn't about that. It's just very varying opinions about Briize as a whole that I will have to do something separately at a later date bc it will throw this reading off.

Thanks for this request!!

Taehyung and Jungkook Dynamic Reading

Alright, time to dig into this dynamic. I am not too familiar with BTS dynamics, so this would be fun to try to decipher what is going on with them energetically. Let's see what I can get.

Overall Energy: So, let me start with the House 7 card, this card is about intimacy, romantic relationships, but also significant relationships, so not going to lie, there could be truth to the rumors about them. I mean that card speaks loudly, but this doesn't always indicate romantic relationships, the card can indicate strong relationships that help build the person on a personal/spiritual level as well. I am not here to discount anything, both seem plausible with that energy. I call how I see it.

Now, they also got the House one, so both of them are on a journey of discovery, of learning about themselves. Learning more about who they are as an individual, this makes sense as they are getting older, starting more of their solo careers and in the military. Now, with the Strength card, this shows me they do have a strong bond, that can hold the test of time or handle any difficulties that comes their way, so I don't see these two distances themselves from another, even if they are doing their own thing.

Taehyung's Energy: How I am not surprised he got the emperor card, he wears the pants in this dynamic lol He is the more level-headed rational one, the one that plans ahead. I am getting he is two steps ahead. I get he is always a step ahead of Jungkook. Now, with the Temperance card and the 6 of Pentacles, he has a very balanced approach in this dynamic. He gives what he gets. He is all about equal distribution in this dynamic. To him, they kind of balance each other, one gives this, the other gives that. Man, just here to say, this energy is much easier to read than my HeeSun one lol The energy here seems so much more stable and clearer.

There is a guard he has up. I am not sure he fully trust Jungkook on some things. Now, I will get to Jungkook, but he does have the 7 of Swords in his energy, not a great energy to have in a dynamic. I get he can be deceiving; I got looks can be deceiving. He may have done something that may have lost his trust a bit. Now, with this Prince archetype card, I can get romantic vibes from this as well, I call is as I see it, this is a very romantic card, someone who does sweet gestures, he may even buy him gifts or do things that are really sweet for him. With this Messiah card, he can be protective of Jungook. There may be this need to save him somehow. With that 9 of Wands energy, that also gives me wanted to protect this bond, so on his end like I got for the overall energy, they seem like a strong stable unit that will last a long time, they can endure any pitfalls that come their way.

Now, with this Fool card he got, the keywords naivety and innocence stood out. He can be a bit naive in this dynamic. I am not saying Jungkook is a bad person, but there are things he does that I feel Taehyung should not accept. Taehyung seems like the type that thinks the best in everyone and ignores their down sides. Now, for his guidance he got the white raven spirit card, this is about believing in the possibilities. To learn to trust things will work out. I feel this card is telling him to recognize and be aware of the signs and intuitive nudges he gets. He may feel something isn't right, so he needs to follow that gut instinct.

Jungkook's Energy: So, as I mentioned he got the 7 of Swords, that is sneaky energy, so not a fan of this energy in a dynamic. I am getting, doing things behind his back. There is just things he may have lied about to Taehyung. I just don't understand this energy. I am getting betrayal as well, what it is. I don't know, don't have the patience to look further. With this 9 of Swords, he may feel very distressed by it and may lose sleep over it.

But then we go to the King of Cups, now I feel this is more Taehyung's energy than Jungkook, Taehyung may have been able to forgive what he has done, because of his understanding and loving energy he has. With this Page of Wands card, I feel that is Jungkook. Taehyung may understand he can be reckless and a bit immature, so he tends to forgive his misgivings, and as we know Taehyung is a very forgiving and loyal person. Jungkook's energy in this dynamic is a bit reckless. He seems to be very spontaneous and just does what he likes.

Now, for his archetypes, he got Scribe, this is someone who preserves information on someone, so Jungkook may know a lot about Taehyung. Did he share something about Taehyung, maybe he shouldn't have? Is that the betrayal? I just get Jungkook doesn't really think things through, so he may share things he shouldn't. Now, with this Rescuer card, I feel this card can also indicate something romantic, because the lifeboat on the card is the shape of a heart lol But I also feel this gives me Jungkook is the type to do things that can make Taehyung forgive him for past mistakes. I also do see him being very loving and supportive to Taehyung when he needs him, this may be why Taehyung can forgive him, because he is there for him in times of need.

Now, with the 2 of Wands energy, he definitely vibes well with Taehyung, they seem similar and get along very well. To him, they may have the same vision on where they both want to go in life. He does envision a future with him in whatever form that will be. They may even plan things out together. Now, his guidance is the deer spirit, he needs to take a softer approach to things. This is telling him to be more cautious and to not act out too rashly. To tread a bit before doing something. To not overdo things. And to not share things with others he shouldn't, especially in regard to Taehyung as this is about their dynamic. I also feel he should be more observant of Taehyung and to learn which lines not to cross or do things he shouldn't do.

Okay, that was interesting stuff here, obviously I can't cover everything, girl got no time for that but got some tea here. This helped me understand them a bit more as well.

Common-Typal Commentary: Matter over Mind

What did I want with this contest, really? Flavorful purpose. Communication of niche. Some weird stuff. I don't actually know what I wanted; perhaps there's this inner frustration that came out with how Bloomburrow drafts were treating me, and I wanted to express a world where typal didn't matter as heavily, where a world could run on its own merits. As I write this, I'm just finishing a draft of Lost Caverns, where I got some awesome artifact synergies going with splashes from other archetypes in the mix. That felt good! There wasn't the typal wonders, but there were pieces in between that folks used, little bits of revelatory connections. I wish it was easier to do typal. And it's not. On a week where the prompt was "typal that didn't care about typal as a theme," it becomes... Well, let's just say that the mess was justified.

There were some messy things that I want to call attention to, though. Firstly, please read and reread the prompt, because three separate people submitted uncommons. Secondly, when you're designing for common, keep complexity and power level in mind. Thirdly... There is no third point, and maybe that itself is the third point: that sometimes, I can only say what I know, and my communication should meet you halfway. If I ain't getting there, then that ain't nobody else's fault but my own. Simplify, revise, correct, and you know what, point four: your first idea isn't gonna be your best one 99% of the time. Reiterate upon yourself and you'll be taken to the stars.

I've got a few Judge Picks I wanted to point out, as you'll see, but this week was a little light so there might only be a couple. I'll go over everything in post. Speaking of post, here's what we have for commentary, posted below:

@bergdg — Aspect of Ruthlessness

From a Tarkir-oriented perspective, I think the flavor of having snakes add to their ruthless qualities with a bit of poison is pretty reasonable. Flashing it in seems a little...off? Hear me out, because this card's totally fine, but flash-deathtouch is one of those really cool combat tricks that Green's been out of for a while (see the whole Ambush Viper debate-thing that happened some time ago, I forget where/when), and if it's not granting that, then a three-mana +1/+1 feels pretty weak even with the surveil.

Flash as a keyword provides both timing-oriented tricks for responses and proactive EOT additions for turn advantage. The advantage here feels minimal on one side and maximal on the other for snakes. And maybe that answers the prompt just fine, yeah, but I still find myself asking: if I'm not playing snakes, would I play with this card at all? Honestly, no—having some snakes would be fine and having no snakes makes this card pretty dead in the water. Looking at the Step Through example, a double-Unsummon is still decent in a pinch, and the Wizardcycling makes it better just in case. I don't see the "just in case" side of this aura right now.

~

@bowtochris — Necrosis

I think that I can see some of the BTS of this card with "creatures" instead of "creature" there in the first sentence. Regardless... In a set that has incidental Zombies, this card would be totally fine, and a lot of sets and worlds do. Honestly the amount of sets that I remember as having more Zombies than they actually do is fairly high! But you can see how popular they are and how a necromancy/grave-style play system that has incidental zombies could use this as a removal spell with upside for sure. Pretty much the only place that it wouldn't fit the contest would be Innistrad, heh.

With that said, is there anything more to this card than that? Not that it doesn't work, but I feel that the type is kinda indicative of this card's lack of polish. What world is it supposed to be from? What does this flesh-eating disease/condition have to do with the Zombies' hunger contextually? I feel that this card is unfinished in a lot of ways and it's hard to commentate fully on it when there's not much given in that regard.

~

@bread-into-toast — Gift of Wings (JUDGE PICK)

I honestly thought this was a card already and I'm kinda gobsmacked that this name hasn't been used. As far as cards in general go, yeah, we're in a good spot. I see you're still using "enters the battlefield" instead of the shorthand, and lemme tell you, I'll be doing the same thing for a while as well. But all the same, yeah, mounts with evasion add to an aggressive deck and make a target for you. I like how 99% of mounts are of a higher-ish mana value, and so this card being cheap allows for more answers to follow.

Mounts are an interesting one. How many Mounts in a set, would there be mMounts with vehicles, would Mounts be brought back as small batches...? Lots of questions being asked here. But I could tell even by the art that this would be a Theros set before double-checking your prompt, and I'm down for it. If this was before or after a more Mount-heavy set, I could see a few Mounts especially as legendary horses and/or their offspring. Pegasi, too! When they attack, they carry another creature with them. You know what, I'm not gonna lie—I almost wish this had been Horse instead of Mount, but I get why you chose to go this route. There are far more Pegasus creatures on Theros than Horses, and they already have flying. Maybe there are other possibilities, but you know what, this route works just fine. I'll hash out a more comprehensive thought process if you want later.

~

@dimestoretajic — Rockface Staff

This card falls right back into the Bloomburrow trap, I'm afraid. While Bloomburrow's color overlap was a pretty no-brainer design choice, that's really not what this contest was looking for, and as such I don't necessarily know how to judge it. Is the expectation that these creatures wouldn't be major parts in the set? I mean, I could, but what world is this on if not Bloomburrow? I don't want to make any assumptions here. I also don't think that this card was intended to be on different plane than the one where this type-batching has already been precedent.

This is the extent that I can give commentary on this card's application to the contest prompt. As an equipment in general, it's fine, and I get the hybrid cost down there is intended to be an every-color-but-best-here suggestion. But that's as far as I can go. There's just no way to interpret the typing otherwise.

~

@grornt — Smothering Spores (JUDGE PICK)

There were only about ten cards in Dominaria that cared about Saprolings, and that was quite an archetype, but my personal first introduction to them was in the Alara block, where only six cards across the whole block produced them—and looking back at DMU, there were only two. So how many Saprolings does it take to screw in a good draft common? Honestly, I'd say if there were...4-5 across a set, then this card could go from just plain decent to really funny really fast.

Saprolings are meant to be as expendable as they are delicious, and while regulating a token subtype to a cheeky one-off is a little questionable, I'm down for this being a good enough card. It's totally okay to have a derived card like this get a flavorful little twist, right? Depending on the sacrifice archetype (hint: probably B/G), you could have instances where you lean more into black, or you could have an overlap where there's enchantments on one side and Saprolings on the other, right? Maybe if there was a random rare that pumped out uncommons... But that's just extra brainstorming, because the thought of a fungal infection being made deadly via Saproling is good enough for me. Solid and thoughtful.

~

@izzet-always-r-versus-u — Lights in the Sky

I'm so sorry that I didn't get a chance to message you beforehand and remind you that this is a common contest. I'll read this card on its merits, but you're not the only one to submit an uncommon at first, so hey, that's all good.

The other thing is that I may just not be the right audience for this card as it stands. The only Aliens we've had so far are the ones from Unfinity and the Doctor Who—will there be any in the Death Race set? I forget. Anyway, there's currently no metric for what that might look like in an in-universe set, and the implications are...very sci-fi in a way that I can't critique in good faith. The card is fine, the mechanics are fine, and it could be a real painful beater in limited. You might want to put "this permanent" instead of "this enchantment," but I'm not sure. I'll be honest, comrade, I got nothin'. If MTG has a single sci-fi hater among them, it's me on top of this hill, dying from an alien death ray. We'll shoot for the stars next time.

~

@lich-of-the-golgari — A Good Boy's Rest

Let's back up for a second and talk about what this card is doing. From a purely flavorful perspective, this card makes sense. Pragmatically, it's asking for Shrines at common, perhaps additional shrines, legendary enchantments at common, and a new kind of role token, and a multicolor theme at common as well, and on an ambiguous world. Do you see where I might have some issues with this card design-wise?

Time and time again, I want to tell folks that unless we're asking for out-of-this-world weirdness, you don't have to reinvent the wheel for these contests. Most of the time, it's detrimental to good design sense. This prompt in particular is looking for starting keystones and the base beginnings for some designs that would suggest small pieces of an overarching set in a way that aren't main themes. In my opinion, this card goes against pretty much every one of those notions. Simplify, simplify, simplify. I know it's tempting to stick with an idea that resonates internally, but it's more important to learn when to go back to the drawing board.

~

@melancholia-ennui — Haunted Crypt

It's really, really hard not to see this card as a derivative of Step Through. The only question is whether or not the role it would have in the set would be that of a cycle or that of a one-off. As a one-off, it would be one of the more powerful ones, presumably, if there are any half-decent Spirits in this set at all. Never underestimate the power of landcycling. The reason that Step Through could be at common is because it's a steepish cost for a half-decent effect, and the discarding (even with no Wizard) was part of the possible pieced-together archetypes. What would the archetypes be here?

This card highly suggests something to do with discarding or BW graveyard shenanigans, but also with the typal component; a reasonable player would assume that this draft archetype would be a BW spirit typal shell. Do you see what I mean? It's hard to get away from that specifically because it's a land. Now, if there was a typal archetype, then this card would be bananas, and I think that it's certainly well-designed as it is. For this contest, it's a little too specific for what we were looking for. I'll still commend the general chops, even if, like I said, it's a bit on-the-nose given our examples.

~

@piccadilly-blue — Sonorous Hum

NB: "Deck is 22 cards, all major arcana, not magic cards (in the same way that a d20 is not a magic card), no rules text. // You choose whether or not you run a tarot deck as the game begins. If you don't, you ignore all instructions relating to the tarot deck. // If you're using a tarot deck, after all mulligans have been taken, you shuffle your tarot deck and then the top three cards are turned face-up as your spread."

When you submit a card like this, not only are you asking us to evaluate the card in its relation to the contest, but also evaluating a new mechanic with a series of highly complex rules interactions. And you're also asking us to evaluate a deck with card that each would have a series of as-of-yet unknown rules interactions that have not, to our knowledge, been designed or submitted. So with that said? I can't evaluate this card. I literally, actually cannot, because it's asking knowledge of me that doesn't exist.

I want to love it, of course, and not in the way that I want to love all submissions. I want to be able to love what you've done. I do not have the means or the tools to give you the feedback I want to give in this position, and that's because of the choices you've made by submitting this kind of card. There's nothing wrong with going off the beaten path, but in order for us to judge properly, we gotta use the tools of the collective. I don't have those tools at the moment and I don't really have the time/energy that this idea would both require and deserve. One of my partners does love him some tarot, so just imagine we're giving this a thumbs-up in an alternate universe.

@wildcardgamez — Tuskeran Axe (JUDGE PICK)

Berserker is a heavily underutilized creature type, in my opinion. On Kaldheim, there were all those zombie berserker thingies, IIRC, but also a few in the general BR shell. Still, what if you wanted warrior/equipment blends, or you wanted a Giant Berserker to go out there? This card, upon reflection, is a sheepish reminder for me of how I should've made this contest out to be. I'm writing this before I get to the grand reflection, but seeing this card as a unique and funky draft-archetype hybrid is certainly interesting on a design scale, but it's not exactly "weird." It's good! Don't get me wrong, it's quite good.

Was I looking for that weirdness more so than cohesion? It's possible. World flavor is a strange thing. Sometimes, everyone is a berserker. Sometimes the colorless-ness matters, especially for equipment, like that artificer example from earlier. Actually, what I like about this card is that it assumes you're playing red if you're playing berserkers, but if you manage a mono-black berserker deck or whatever, then you're just getting some cool color advantages. I dunno, this card's pushing all the right buttons for me. Am I just jaded with myself, or is this closer to the prompt than I imagined? This is good self-reflection but probably not the best critique. Well, you've already got a seal of approval, so I'll axe the rest of this before I start rambling even more.

~

@xenobladexfan — Death's Finality

When making this prompt, I feel that there was more of a typal-payoff kinda vibe than a draft-answer kinda vibe. As we have it here, Thraben Exorcism is already a card that exists, and this card more or less goes a little farther than that. I want to say that there's nothing wrong with that—and in a vacuum, there isn't. But when there's already such a specific card, and when that card itself wouldn't be what the prompt is after, it makes this kind of judgment a little more difficult than it would be otherwise.

Whether or not you saw Thraben Exorcism before this, well, I have no idea. Exiling zombies and cards from graveyards is also a little beyond the initial scope, so there's that. The similarity is just too much for me to buckle down and say that this card stands on its own merits. If nothing else, though, I hope that this is some kind of learning experience. One, it's a good idea to double-check your cards to see if some maniac at WotC has printed the effect before. Two, feel free to lean into the more proactive side of payoffs rather than answers; answers come to the board when they need to. Right now is the time for asking questions.

Tomorrow's another day. Be well! @abelzumi

why do people surprised with jk coming up with the most simple thing for his album? he's always been like that tho. just by looking at his discography and things that he did in the past you shouldn't expect more. yes man can draw and he's pretty "creative" at that but he's never coming up with a concept that make people go "woah". just look at his photofolio, he chose vampire as his concept to express himself 💀 and youre right he's overestimated by the whole fandom and dare i say he's overrated too. i used to think 3j were the best performers in bts untill i saw a clip of him performing seven 😬 like yes he's a better performer than the other 4 members but he's just not at jimin and jhope's level esp when his perfomance incorporate dancing. i'm not hating or anything i used to "observe" each members when i was still an army and thats my thoughts. keyword for jungkook: basic.

Yesterday I was watching Olivia Rodrigo's live lounge performances and I was blown away. Literally 😭 it was so beautiful I watched them again a while ago. I was moved by her delivery and amazed at her voice. After that, I watched Troye's. Then, I remembered Jungkook had done it too so I went and watched it.

Seven was so uncomfortable to watch. It was so awkward and forced that I closed it after a minute or so. He also had a backtrack btw. The Oasis song was better, but then again he's always sounded best at ballads and that kind of breathy singing that Koreans love to overuse.

My point is to say that he might be the best vocalist or most stable in BTS, but he doesn't hold a candle to other vocalists outside of kpop. He was literally out of breath for seven, even though he was sitting down. Olivia doesn't have half the career experience he has and she ate him up with ease. Literally. It was like she was in her living room singing just for fun, while Jungkook was mumbling some parts of the song because je couldn't keep up with the English and was so visibly nervous it was impossible for me to keep watching.

He's always been considered so good because he was measured as member of BTS, but there are people infinitely more talented than him. Of course it's all because of armys tunnel vision and their lack of interest in other singers. Do armys even know what Adele sounded like at 16 years old? So the whole thing about glorifying JK in the singing department has always been eehhhh to me because yeah, he's good. But in the real world outside of BTS he's not the best as they'd like to believe.

UNDER A SKY OF TEARS: A BOY'S TALE

ㅤA collection of stories, thoughts, and observations from my life. My name is Samuel Cassius R., though most people call me Sam—depending on their level of familiarity and my current mood. I'm a creature of many layers, a kaleidoscope of contradictions perhaps. Currently, I identify most strongly as an INTP a designation that feels both accurate and perpetually in flux. The analytical mind, the quiet observation, the logical deduction—these are elements I recognize in myself, yet I'm also aware of the unpredictable currents that flow beneath the surface.

ㅤBorn under the sign of Taurus in May, I possess a certain stubborn tenacity, a groundedness that anchors me amidst life's storms. If you're searching for a constant, a reliable thread in the tapestry of my being, look no further than my unwavering devotion to green tea. It's more than just a beverage; it's a ritual, a comfort, a silent companion in the moments of both quiet contemplation and chaotic exhilaration. If you wish to find me amidst the digital expanse, simply search for "green tea." It's a simple keyword.

My auditory palate dances between the discordant delights of nu-metal and the saccharine sweetness of K-Pop, traversing the sonic landscapes of alternative rock, pop punk, Indonesian, and the ubiquitous pop: BTS, Linkin Park, TXT, HYBE Artists, IVE, Mamamoo, DAY6, Mötley Crüe, Slipknot, Burgerkill, Baskara with all his groups (especially Hindia & .feast), A Rocket to The Moon, The Adams, Paul Anka, no na, etc.

I regret to inform you that my cinematic experience is rather limited. However, I offer you the following titles from my sparsely populated films, animes, and dramas: Vertigo (1958), Pride & Prejudice (2005), Life is Beautiful (1997), Titanic (1997), Perburuan (2019), Kadet 1947 (2021), Bungo Stray Dogs, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Hunter x Hunter, Kuroshitsuji, The Uncanny Counter, Hellbound, and all the dramas with Park Hyung-sik and Im Si-wan as main character.

To date I've devoured 31 tomes, spanning Personal Growth, Historical Fiction, Politics, and Life Itself. A few standouts unforgettable companions in my cerebral landscape, linger still: Laut Bercerita by Leila S. Chudori, Gerpolek by Tan Malaka, A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman, The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck, and Jangan Membuat Masalah Kecil Jadi Masalah Besar by Richard Carlson.

ㅤFor my own safety and peace of mind, I avoid interacting with individuals who are openly and enthusiastically supportive of Mulyono and Prabowo, including those who voted for Candidate 02. This also extends to anyone visibly underage (-18). I won't engage with anyone actively spreading hate speech or prejudice against LGBTQ+ individuals, people of faith, or other marginalized. Similarly, I avoid those who are aggressively hostile towards my interests or viewpoints. And, I don't interact with people who demonstrably disregard the ongoing suffering of the Palestinian people in the humanitarian crisis.

Inked, Samuel Cassius R.

Can you remember that time when you spent weeks sifting through stacks of resumes, desperately hoping to find that perfect candidate? Yes, the one with all the right skills, experience, and that spark that sets them apart from the crowd? Well, we’ve all been there!

The hunt for top talent feels more like a battle royale of those fierce competitors, doesn’t it? Everyone is competing for those super employees! But guess what? We have a secret weapon for you that will change the whole recruitment game for you! Social Media!

No, this isn’t some joke! Social media isn’t just for some cat videos and vacation pictures anymore. It has become a lot more like marketing solutions for recruiters who are looking to expand their reach, showcase their amazing company culture and connect with those exclusive A-players.

In this blog, we will dive into how social media is transforming the marketing recruitment firms landscape. We’ll look at how you can build your brand and zero in on those candidates, plus create a community alongside all this that will line those candidates to join your team. So, buckle up! And get prepared to discover how social media can supercharge your recruitment efforts!

Why Does Employer Branding Matter?

We know that all those A players have a ton of choices in today’s world. They are not just looking for a job, they want a place where they feel like they belong, A place where they can grow and thrive. Your social media is the perfect place to show them why your company is ‘that’ place. So, what should you share?

LinkedIn: This is more of your professional stage. Here, share your company updates, employee spotlights, and thought leadership articles. Show yourself as the industry expert.

Facebook & Instagram: Well, these are more of a personal and casual space. Share photos of your team outings, office celebrations, or even those silly BTS moments. Let people see the real culture of your company.

X (Twitter): This is where you can show off your company’s personality. Share industry news with a witty comment or engage in conversations with potential candidates.

The goal? Make people think, “Wow, this company seems awesome! I want to be a part of that.” That’s the magic of employer branding on social media.

Finding Your Perfect Fit with Social Media Ads

Ever come across an ad for that exact thing that you were just thinking or talking about? Well, that’s the magic of social media advertising, and recruiters are tapping into it like ‘big-time’. Social media lets you create ads that only show up to the people who are likely to be your ideal candidates.

This means you can pinpoint folks based on:

Demographics: Age, location, education level — anything, just name it.

Interests: Maybe they follow certain companies or groups related to your industry.

Skills: You can even target those keywords in their profiles, like “Java developer” or “marketing master.”

Job Titles: If they already have a similar role, they might be ready for a change.

By sponsoring your job postings or creating eye-catching content, you will reach more people than you could ever through traditional methods! It’s like having a big megaphone that only broadcasts to the people who actually want to hear your messages.

So, don’t just post and pray! Use social media’s advertising tools as marketing recruitment firms solutions to connect with the right people, and watch your recruitment efforts soar!

Opening the Doors to Real Conversations

Do you know the beauty of social media? It’s a two-way street! Recruiters aren’t just shouting about the job openings into some endless void, but they are chatting directly with candidates who are interested, answering questions about the company or diving deep into what the job role actually entails. You can also consider this as a virtual coffee date! But without those awkward small talks.

But hold up, there is more! Conduct live Q&A sessions, webinars, and even some virtual career fairs. Think of all of these as some giant networking event, but you can attend these in your PJs! How great is that? These events give you more chances to get a potential hire for your company.

Bottom line? Recruiters can use social media to share company updates, success stories, and industry insights, all while building genuine connections with potential hires. It’s about showing off what makes the company a great place to work and finding the right people to join the team.

Your People Are Your Best Cheerleaders

Think of your employees like built-in marketing solutions. They know your company inside and out, and when they’re genuinely enthusiastic, it shows!

When they share company updates, job openings, or even just fun office moments on their own social media, it’s like a personal recommendation from a friend. That kind of authenticity is marketing gold.

Your employees are like your in-built fan club! They know your company inside-out, and when they are genuinely enthusiastic, it shows! So, when they share your company updates, job openings, or even just fun office moments on their own social media, It’s great (It’s like getting a personal recommendation from a friend.) So it’s gold!

Why Employee Advocacy Works

Huge Reach: Your employees have extensive networks you can’t even imagine. Their posts reach friends, family, and even former colleagues- people who might be the perfect fit for your open roles.

Trust Factor: People trust recommendations from people they know way more than ads. Employee posts feel more genuine, not just sales-y.

Builds Your Brand: When your team is proudly sharing company stuff, it paints a picture of a great place to work. That attracts top talent.

How to Make It Happen

Creating an employee advocacy program doesn’t have to be complicated:

Make it Easy: Give your team ready-to-share content (Something like eye-catching images and pre-written captions, anything).

Incentivise: Offer referral rewards for participation (gift cards, extra time off).

Celebrate: Highlight employee posts that get great engagement to encourage others.

Keep it Real: Encourage employees to share their own experiences, not just company-approved lines.

Remember, the goal is to empower your team to be authentic advocates, not turn them into robots. When done right, employee advocacy can supercharge your recruitment efforts like nothing else.

Wrapping it up…

Phew! Look at the number of things we have covered! From showcasing your awesome company culture on Instagram to targeting the perfect candidate with LinkedIn ads, it is all clear that social media is a recruitment powerhouse.

If you are still not already tapping into these platforms, you’re missing out on a goldmine of talent. So, what is still stopping you? Dust off that old X (Twitter) account, spice up your LinkedIn profile, and start building those genuine connections. Remember, it is not just posting ads; it’s about telling your company’s story and showing off yourself to the world!

And hey, the future of social media recruitment is looking brighter than ever. With AI tools making it easier to find the right candidates and video resumes adding a personal touch, who knows what innovative strategies will emerge? It’s an exciting time to be in recruitment, so embrace the possibilities, experiment, and keep learning!

Bad days mean nothing to me | Idol!Seokjin x NonIdol!Reader Story

Pairing: Idol!Seokjin x NonIdol!Reader Keywords: established relationship, ldr Word count: a little over 900 Warnings: fluff, stress, ldr at times Masterlist

Sliding her finger across the dimmed screen of her phone, Yn moved the blue dot from right to left. As she let go of it the sound of the message rang through her earphones.

“Yn-ah, are you awake?” her boyfriend whispered into the microphone before breaking into a light giggle. “Yn-ah, it’s early in the morning,” he continued, barely stopping himself from laughing again. “Yn-ah,” -he took in a deep breath- “happy three hundred days,” he whisper-yelled, probably trying to keep his noise levels at the minimum since it was so early.

Yn’s smile grew wide beneath her crisp white face mask.

“It’s already been three hundred days,” she thought to herself, shaking her head slightly.

She scrolled through the messages they had exchanged after Seokjin sent that voice file. So many emojis, so many heartfelt words. She wished she could show him how happy she was to be his in person but there was no way that could happen. They were in different cities right now - him down in the south, shooting some show for BTS, her up in Seoul, doing nothing special.

On some days more than others, the couple saw the differences between their lifestyles. On those days, days like today, those differences were just too much to handle for one or the other. This time it was Yn that had a hard time coping with being away from each other on yet another anniversary. She smiled hearing her boyfriend’s voice once more through the voice message but at the same time, she couldn’t help to feel a tinge of sadness pick at her heart as she made her way to work that morning.

“I miss you,” she typed into the text bar and pressed sent.

Jin gritted his teeth, reading the message from Yn. He missed her too. Terribly.

“Seven o’clock,” he said to himself. “I’ll see my girlfriend at seven o’clock,” he hummed while packing his belongings into his trusty black backpack.

Earlier the group’s manager let them know they will be wrapping up their activities sooner than expected and Jin felt ecstatic upon finding out that he was going to make it back to the country’s capital before midnight. However, he decided to keep the good news from Yn and give her a surprise visit as soon as he arrived back in Seoul.

At two in the afternoon the shooting was over. At four-thirty everyone was fed and well-rested, ready to take the almost three-hour drive back to Hanam-dong. About quarter to seven Jin was already in his car, showered and changed with a bouquet of flowers on the passenger’s seat. Seven sharp he pressed the buzzer on Yn’s front door. He did it again and again until he heard footsteps and inaudible words on the other side of the door.

“What-” the girl’s voice got caught in her throat as soon as she laid her eyes on the person in the corridor. “I- I-” she stuttered.

“Surprise,” Jin exclaimed, lowering the bundle of roses to reveal his smiley face.

“Seokjin-ah,” Yn whined, making all the joy leave the man’s expression in an instant.

“What? What?” he asked, stepping closer to her as he realised her eyes were beginning to water. “What is it?” he grabbed her shoulders, rubbing them comfortingly.

The sudden proximity, the warmth of his touch, his smell, the mere sight of him, all of it made Yn realise how overwhelmed she had been the past couple of weeks. Now that her person, her sweet loving boyfriend was right in front of her she felt it all starting to tear her apart.

“Seokjin-ah,” she whined again before breaking into tears.

Jin took a step forward, making her walk back into the apartment. The door closed behind him with a loud thud but he couldn’t care less about making noise right now.

“Why are you crying?” he asked, putting his hands on Yn’s wet cheeks.

“Bad week,” she sniffled. “Very bad week.”

“Very bad week and no boyfriend to complain to?” he cooed, instantly regretting his actions as the cute voice only made the girl in front of him cry even harder. “Ah, baby,” he groaned sadly and kissed the corner of her lips chastely. “Come here,” he wrapped his arms around her, letting her hide her head in his chest as her hands snaked around his torso. “I’ve got you,” he murmured in a low voice, his breath warming her heart up little by little. “I’m here,” he stroked her hair, taking in the shape of her body that melted right into his so perfectly. “You can cry all you want. I have broad shoulders,” she exhaled a weak chuckle at his comment and lifted her face to rest it against the crook of his neck. “Yn-ah, listen to me now,” her ears perked up, ready to take in his words. “Everything will be alright.”

“How can you know that?” she muttered into the fabric of his shirt, still feeling sad and tired but not so hopeless anymore because how could she when he was so close.

Seokjin pushed onto her shoulders, putting the tiniest amount of space between their chests. He guided her head up with his hand so they were looking each other in the eye. With one palm spread across her back and the other caressing her cheek he smiled as if he knew something very important that she didn’t.

“Because” -he paused to put a strand of hair behind her ear- “with you, all bad days mean nothing to me,” he confessed, shaking his head. “When we’re together all bad things mean nothing.”

JK's Birth time analysis

First and foremost, I’m just doing this to occupy my mind in something else while I go through some stuff, I will continue to use the general consensus of the community for my astrology readings, I’m just doing this for fun, remember that we as fans are in no way entitled to know JK’s exact birth time, these are just fun educated guesses on some alternative that has arisen.

Now, I must say, when I first started the astro part of my bts blog I immediately thought 1 pm for JK’s birth time, I don’t have any factual backup on this one, I’ve talked about it before, I am kind of a human tarot deck lmao things sometimes just come to me. So I started roaming around and I found that JK’s libra rising made sense to me, and it was a general consensus for his readings so I said sure let's go. You know that I endorse and adore having conversations with you guys, my craft isn’t perfect and no one else's is so it is great to hear every opinion to forge our own judgement. I do only present to you information that I can back up, which is why as much as I’d love to I won’t be taking into consideration my own personal hunch on the info I’m about to present you, although you can read it as subtext when it is in italics like this hello this is an inner thought of marinette’s.

SO the big deal: Is JK a libra rising or is JK a sagittarius rising? General consensus says 8:04 am as speculated time of birth, some others say 1-2 pm.

Either way, JK’s sect remains nocturnal so there’s not much to go from there.

When it comes to appearances, I’ll update what I said before.

Libra rising appearance:

Very youthful look that it seems like you don’t even age

Gentle smile

Charming demeanour that makes people obsessed with you

Very symmetrical features

Fit body

Contagious smile

Put together look/ clean look

Dimples

Dark hair and dark eyes

Tall

Oval/Round face

Think Harry Styles, Beyoncé, Niall, Britney Spears

Sagittarius rising appearance:

Bulky thighs

Horse like face

Big forehead

Incredibly tall or more than average tall

Gain weight easily

Not really athletic

Pretty full lips

Think Kim Kardashian, Elvis, Jennifer Lawrence, Paris Hilton

Evidently, other aspects in astrology and genetics can alter these, but it is mostly true.

Now, I am not that well versed in vedic astrology since I stopped studying it due to lack of time BUT the infamous thread that looks into the possibility of JK being a sag rising is pretty elaborate, although it does run more on intuitive processes and symbolism, which are of course, valid, and it really is up to both the analyst and the ones reading the analysis to determine the weight of it. My craft is more oriented towards intersectionality so I don’t like to go by what we are able to see about him as an axis, more like confirmation about it. Idk if it makes sense. I just don't trust seemingly scripted content that much to run my analysis based on it. Everything mentioned about JK Jyestha makes sense when looking at the content presented, and it will make even more sense once we take a look at some other non western astrology systems. Again, I am not well versed in vedic astrology so right off the bat I would fight the conversion system rather than the information presented.

Regarding that thread, some of the keywords used to conclude JK’s Jyestha are as follows:

King, Winning, Ambitious, Passionate, Skillful, Eldest, 1st, Seniority, Expertise, Sensory indulgence, Celebration, Bravery, Heroic, Dragon Slayer, Warrior, Rain, Thunder, Umbrella, Protector, Provider, Scandalous, Impulsive, Bunny, Deer, Earring, Eye.

In western astrology, a general comparison on placements would look something like this.

Sun in 8° 33' Virgo

Moon in 27° 20' Leo

Mercury in 7° 49' Virgo (r)

Venus in 16° 58' Libra

Mars in 11° 7' Scorpio

Jupiter in 14° 15' Aquarius (r)

Saturn in 19° 35' Aries (r)

Uranus in 5° 28' Aquarius (r)

Neptune in 27° 33' Capricorn (r)

Pluto in 2° 55' Sagittarius

North Node in 20° 11' Virgo (r)

Chiron in 29° 45' Libra

Ascendant in 4° 20' Libra

MC in 4° 46' Cancer

1st House starts at 4° Libra

2nd House starts at 1° Scorpio

3rd House starts at 2° Sagittarius

4th House starts at 4° Capricorn

5th House starts at 7° Aquarius

6th House starts at 7° Pisces

7th House starts at 4° Aries

8th House starts at 1° Taurus

9th House starts at 2° Gemini

10th House starts at 4° Cancer

11th House starts at 7° Leo

12th House starts at 7° Virgo

In here, the main aspect I can relate JK to is Cancer MC, MC represents your public self, as well as the success level you might experience. Cancer MC is all about taking care of others, yet it can also point towards a career in arts, especifically singing and writing, it also indicates a strong possibility of psychic abilities which have been widely discussed in JK with his readings and such all while having the main troubles of being an impatient person and sometimes getting self conscious which we have heard him say before when he refers to himself knowing how to do stuff yet he doesn’t think he’s good at any of them, or his letters to himself about having to love himself more.

Another pretty JK thing I’ve noticed is his Virgo Stellium in the 12th House, which shows struggles with identity JK has, once again, being vocal about him growing up within BTS and how that has shaped him and how he has constantly been looking for himself. They often absorb the struggles of people around them. Does anyone else remember him saying he’s okay as long as his hyungs are okay? Also, singing and dancing are very powerful manifestation tools for these people huh maybe that’s why he writes and sings love songs. This aspect also indicates him having the potential to amass a large amount of wealth, some astrologers think about this stellium as an extremely karmic one, which can be translated into the whole JK’s soulmate narrative.

When it comes to his 5th house, it indicates him being a hell of a creative person, especially in a somewhat rebellious sense which I interpret as him getting a sleeve tattoo It also talks about not being traditional in relationships which I believe has come out a few times in his tarot readings.

With Sag rising, his chart would look something like this:

Sun in 8° 45' Virgo

Moon in 29° 46' Leo

Mercury in 7° 37' Virgo (r)

Venus in 17° 12' Libra

Mars in 11° 15' Scorpio

Jupiter in 14° 13' Aquarius (r)

Saturn in 19° 35' Aries (r)

Uranus in 5° 27' Aquarius (r)

Neptune in 27° 33' Capricorn (r)

Pluto in 2° 55' Sagittarius

North Node in 20° 10' Virgo (r)

Chiron in 29° 46' Libra

Ascendant in 5° 28' Sagittarius

MC in 18° 28' Virgo

1st House starts at 5° Sagittarius

2nd House starts at 7° Capricorn

3rd House starts at 12° Aquarius

4th House starts at 18° Pisces

5th House starts at 19° Aries

6th House starts at 14° Taurus

7th House starts at 5° Gemini

8th House starts at 7° Cancer

9th House starts at 12° Leo

10th House starts at 18° Virgo

11th House starts at 19° Libra

12th House starts at 14° Scorpio

In this case, his MC is in Virgo, it mainly indicates a tactful and slow success in someone’s career, these MC Virgo people are often regarded as overly responsible and as people that like to get recognised as people to whom nothing is hard enough for them to call it quits. While they openly seek perfection which ofc JK has always talked about improving himself they often love to do the stuff that others despise to do like countinc, calculating and organising.

Evidently there's no 12th House stellium, he would have a 9th House Leo stellium, which is most of the times noticeable at first glance, the moment these people open their mouths, everything is just extraordinaire, there’s a longing to be loved and to be admired in this aspect. They’re inspirational people to be around which JK is, if I remember the members saying that they get inspired when watching him make efforts. They’re also overly curious about stuff around them big doe eyes anyone?

In this case he would have a 5th House aries, meaning that there’s a need to be physically active and being creative on top of that which I mean does check out. They do tend to be openly superficial people and big-headed when they are in a successful position tho.

So okay, let’s talk native astrology, JK’s Tzolkin is Tz’i-Oc, noted by their need of freedom and less traditional relationships, they work tirelessly and have an innate ability to be successful and accumulate a lot of wealth once again, JK’s position in BTS shows up HE’s in a basic need of having a strong foundation, which he will not like to lead but more take the role of a caregiver that can easily turn into the one receiving care. Here’s the thing, there are a lot of Libra themes in his Day Sign and his Trecana Sign, both of them talking about justice, fairness, helpfulness, as well as him being a nomad which I interpret as having a libra/virgo mix that is really hard to miss Now, this is where it gets funny, His galactic tone is 4, which while it talks about balance and calmness and tranquility libra like it also is represented by a warrior, which is part of the twitter thread as one of the symbolisms to think about sag rising

Last but not least, JK’s bazi, since his contextual situation is leaning more towards it. I did a comparion and it caught my eye the next part:

One of the widely talked about symbols in the sag rising thread is the element of water being consistent with JK, and in his bazi, ¾ Na Yin, the element of water came out, however, they came out when his birth time is 08:04 am.

In his 08:04 bazi, some keywords are:

virtue

star

travel

In his 13:00 bazi, some keywords are:

monetary loss

star of arts

heavenly doctor

So really it all boils down to: we do readings for fun, craft is personal and completely valid in any form as long as we aren’t hurting anyone. We do not know his actual birth time and we actually might never know it, each astrologer is free to work with the birth time they consider the best fitting unless a specific time is given. I myself, see a libra rising fitting, perhaps if we were to trial and error it, some other might come out but honestly, these readings are a hobby and while I dedicate myself to my craft, I certainly don’t have the time that it would require to analyze each placement so I can see for myself which I find the best fitting out of 12 signs. But hey, this was a fun educational opportunity to dive into other practices.

BTS General Energy (November)

I thought I look into what is going on with the members. I will pull a couple of cards to see what is going on. I am feeling pulled to pull abit more cards for this one.

Jin (The Fool/8 of Pentacles/4 of Cups/Parrot Spirit) It seems there was something he leaped into without much thought. It was like he believed things will work itself out. I am getting a bit foolish. This could do with his new release. It seems there lacked passion and creativity there. He did the work, but he may feel disappointed with the final result. It is like he is reflecting on what more he can do. He kind of feels empty here. It is like where are the emotions and passion here. I am getting missed opportunity here. He might need to be careful about what he says to himself and not be too critical of himself and what he did. I just see the keyword watch your words. I see this as he should be careful what he tells himself and to be kind to himself.

Suga (The Hermit rv/8 of Swords/Ace of Wands/Swan Spirit) He feels a bit out of his element and comfort right now. There is a struggle to go inward and reflect, although it may be much needed. He feels a bit limited and trapped in his head. He might feel like he can't breathe at times, it may be anxiety episodes from time to time. I just keep getting out of my comfort zone here. But all this ignites him, this will inspire some creative energy. A new fire within him will come out of this. This may be implemented in his work and music in the future. As I say, great music, or the best comes out of pain and struggle, so he will use that to fuel his creativity. I feel he needs to put that energy somewhere and it is best to put it to good use. Swan spirit wants him to look deeper and do some inner work. This could be hard for him, but to heal, deep work will be needed. So, he can understand where his inner turmoil is coming from.

RM (Judgment/3 of Pentacles/4 of Swords/Moth Spirit) His energy seems in a good place. It seems he is growing and on this personal development and journey. It seems he is freeing himself of the past and constrains. It is like he is growing and elevating on a spiritual level. He is learning not to make mistakes from the past, growth is happening here. He is working with others very well, focused on his duties and working with his comrades. He might be taking a break or relaxing at the moment. It is like he is learning not to stress anymore. I also see him not trying to do too much anymore. He is learning to be part of a team. With this Moth spirit he is learning to surrender and not to hold on too tightly to things or try to have too much control over things. Love this for him.

J-Hope (8 of Wands/The Star/5 of Wands/Squirrel Spirit) Welcome back to my bias! So, looks like things are already going to be busy, but he seems excited about the ventures ahead, but a lot is coming to him. There is a lot he wants to do now that he is back. He has a lot of hopes and dreams, aspirations he wants to fill. It seems he is channeling from the universe or asking it to help him during this time through the energy or communication, it is like he is asking for help. He might also be counting his blessings or finding ways to protect himself energetically. This may be a time of healing for him as well. There seems to be a lot of conflict around him, and I see him trying to rise above that. Squirrel spirit reminds him to always believe in himself, take small steps and to remain grounded through all the drama around him, always to stay true to his vision and beliefs.

V (4 of Pentacles/The Sun/7 of Wands/Parrot Spirit) Okay this is interesting. He wants to be protect some sort of investment, or his money. He might not want something about his career and money to be brought to light. He is in a protective energy, being pretty closed off. It is like he is protecting his energy and himself, keeping his distance. The sun just gives me exposure or something coming to light. I don't know if there are people after him and he is trying to shield himself. I won't go further, because either my team or his don't want me to go further, not feeling too well here. Parrot spirit wants him to be careful of what he says to others and to protect his words, because others will use that against him and spread things.

This section is for a question an anon asked: His thoughts on the layover vinyl? (The World/Death) Not sure why these cards came out, it is not saying much about his feelings/thoughts, not sure he cares too much about it. It was a chapter closing, and ending, to begin anew. This makes no sense by the way. I tried to clarify and got the Justice card, still makes no sense, like things happened how it should have happened. I don't see him having any attachment to it or caring that much personally. It is like it was out of his hands, there could have been something with the law and legalities as well. Anyway, he is personally not affected by it.

Jimin (Queen of Swords/9 of Swords/Page of Pentacles/Dove Spirit/Canary Spirit) Now, he could have a women helping him deal with his struggles and stress right now, or this person is causing it. Or he could be trying to gain clarity about his worries and stress. He could be having trouble sleeping as well, thoughts consume him, especially at night, which makes sense. He is trying to channel it through his work. Trying to work on a skill or practice to get him out of his head. Dove spirit wants him to find peace within himself and Canary spirit wants him to use this energy and put it in a song, or maybe just dance and sing to let out steam. I know this helps boost my energy and spirits, so maybe he needs to do the same.

Jungkook (4 of Pentacles/The World/Page of Cups/Giraffe Spirit) This is all over the place. He is kind of in a selfish greedy energy, keeping what is his close to him, not willing to share what he has or who he is with others. It is like this is mine. There is a cycle completing for him, a chapter ending that he will be very happy about. A sense of achievement he will have here. He seems to have his heads in the clouds, being way too dreamy and idealistic, not really seeing things for what it is. Giraffe spirit wants him to see the big picture, to look at things from a broader perspective and not through his rose color glasses. It is like he is not in this reality, maybe using some sort of escapism methods to deal with what he is going through. Also, his emotions can be all over the place with that POC's energy. He may need to ground himself. There is an immaturity he has that he should work on as well.

Well, no surprise this was very interesting. Taehyung one intrigued, I will see if more pops up in his perspective reading, I have planned for him. Sending these boys love and healing, because some need it.

quarantined with bts

a/n: guys, i’m so sorry for not posting these last few months! i’m currently working on the third chapter of How to make a bookworm fall in love with (all of) you and there is a very long one shot that i work on. my dad got the coronavirus so i’m currently quarantined, so i guess i will have time to write and edit more. writing this while being quarantined was so much fun lol. anyways, i hope you enjoy this post! see you soon! 

warnings: smut (implied), spanking, cockwarming, hickeys, quarantine anxiety, burn-out

▸ Kim Namjoon 

Although he usually overworks himself, he’ll spend the quarantine relaxing and spending more time with you  

Not that he won’t work at all, of course not, he’ll probably spend good 3 to 4 hours a day at his studio at home, but 4 hours are nothing compared to working all day in his main studio at the agency

He’ll probably read a lot, something he truly enjoys but doesn’t really have the time to do

You two probably spend many afternoons cuddled up on the couch reading

As Namjoon’s taste is a bit too philosophical for you, you rarely read the same book, but you always discuss the books you are reading

When it comes to food, the first few days you try to cook together, making everything super romantic, but at some point, you realise that you can’t clean the whole kitchen every day because of Joon’s clumsiness and the often-following food fights, so you either cook by yourself or just order take out  

At first, he feels anxious and quite stressed out about being quarantined, not being able to leave the house freely and just live normally, but he quickly calms down and helps you out if you are also feeling stressed out  

He will get really touchy and needy from time to time, but overall, you won’t indulge in more sexual activities or skinship than you usually do

But you will surely try something new in the bedroom  

You have so much free time, might as well use it in the best way possible

Talking about sexual activities, spending so much time at home won’t affect him negatively, he will definitely need you just as often as he normally does

Taking into consideration that you are at home all day for a pretty long time he will leave more hickeys  

Will also spank you 100% as now you can always sit on a comfortable pillow or make yourself comfortable at home  

On the other hand, he will cuddle you a lot, especially in the evening  

As you want to be informed, you watch the news every evening

He holds you close while watching them, because he feels frightened listening about what is happening all over the country and all around the world, afraid that something might happen to you  

He will try to do things he has always wanted to do, now that he has more free time, but ends up realising that most of those things require communication and contact with other people and will quickly come back to you and ask you to do a movie marathon on the couch, to which, come on, you could never say no

▸ Kim Seokjin

Dedicates himself fully to you  

Normally he has to work a lot, he practices a lot sometimes more than he has to because he is still sometimes insecure about his skills (PLEASE SUPPORT THIS MANN, HE DESERVES THE WORLD), so he can’t always make time for you

But now everything is different!

All the cuddles you could ever ask for – you got them  

The first few days you don’t even enter the kitchen  

Because he is honestly such a good cook and you enjoy his meals a little bit too much to think of cooking  

In a few days, the guilt becomes too much and you cook for the entire day, later on, you split all the chores, so that you both have to do equal amounts of chores around the house

Jin tries to do everything he didn’t have the time to do with you  

Well, he can’t do exactly everything because of the lockdown, but he makes sure to try everything you can do at home  

He tries paint-by-number books and even orders a huge picture of you both paint by number

He also wants to rearrange some of the furniture in certain rooms

Now he finally has the time to fix some stuff around the house, which you thought you would need an electrician or just an expert for  

Jin is just that smart and knowledgeable

When it comes to trying new things, he doesn’t forget the bedroom  

Cockwarming becomes the keyword of your quarantine  

Probably tries everything he has ever wanted to try with you but didn’t find the time for  

On the other hand, he also wants to relax  

So maybe in about 10 days when everything is fixed, rearranged and tried, his sleep habits start to slightly change  

He starts to sleep more and you also realise that he sleeps much more calmly now

Jin knows that he can’t do much about this situation so he doesn’t worry his beautiful head too much  

If you are too stressed, he would definitely find a way to calm you down  

At a certain point, this quarantine becomes more like a big holiday he spends at home  

Now he has so much time he can spend with you, all he really needs is you, a quiet and peaceful atmosphere and your affection

▸ Min Yoongi

You may think that he will finally decide to spend some time to relax  

You thought wrong  

The fact that the entire world is closed down doesn't mean that he won’t work  

You would have to drag him from the studio and get him back home  

After you give him a piece of your mind, he will start relaxing more  

Will show you how thankful he is to you in various ways  

He will make you breakfast in bed  

Cuddle you and give you all the affection he is capable of  

And most importantly – that man will give you all of him in the bedroom  

As he always needs to pay attention on how much time he has till the next practice, meeting, concert or anything else, he often can’t spend as much time as he wants to with you, no matter whether you are having sex or just chilling on the couch

So this quarantine has allowed him to make up for all the time he has missed with you  

Because he is an introvert, he doesn’t truly stress so much about spending much time without going outside  

He mostly feels sad not being able to hang out with the boys as much  

Of course, he also misses the feel of being on stage, he genuinely misses the fans

When he is not spending time with you, he tries to take on new hobbies, work on some more music and do V-Lives  

As you often drew in your free time or when you just wanted to free your mind, he decided to give it a try

Sometimes he ends up doing something with you he would never do on his own and just starts thinking about how grateful he is for having you in his life

As he doesn’t work as much and you are not always with him, he has more time to think, which sometimes leads to overthinking

Fortunately, you are always there to take him out of the darkest places of his mind and cheer him up

From time to time he gets a bit too energetic than he usually is

Usually in these times he suggests on trying a yoga challenge or just working out, of which we all know he is not a big fan  

Will start to talk about the most random things out of the blue  

Like you are cooking in the kitchen and he comes to you with “Is a hotdog a sandwich?”  

Of course, most of the time he is more on the philosophical side “If we don’t know what happens after death, how do we know that we don’t live in the world after death?”  

Sometimes you can’t even come up with an answer, it’s that random

No matter what he does, he just wants you to be with him  

Because he realises that the world is going through some very dark times and he wants to make sure that you are always by his side

▸ Jung Hoseok 

The first few days you can’t make this man get out of bed  

Because he is always on the go, putting a smile on his face and trying to be super positive even when he feels like he wants to be all alone and cry, he just needs to take as much of this situation and stay in your guys’ quiet and warm bedroom

Keep in mind that if he doesn’t get out of bed that also means that the only reason for you to get out of bed is to go to the toilet or pick up the take out

No, you guys don’t even cook the first few days, you just want to enjoy the first peaceful days without work or anything else stressing you out  

After a few days of relaxation, Hoseok is ready to face the world again  

You spend the whole day doing chores and stuff like that

Which is still lots of fun because you’re with your lovely Hobi of course

Every night becomes a movie night now that you have so much free time

You are both cuddled up on the couch, not really watching the movie, more like enjoying holding the love of your life tight, some making out every now and then  

Well, this making out often lead to making love, but honestly, what else could be expected by you two – there is so much love and passion in your relationship that you simply can’t get enough of one another

He still tries to relax a lot tho, so don’t expect many experiments or trying outs of new kinks  

The man just wants to chill and love you, is that so much?  

Of course, he also works on some new music

You spend an entire day in the studio with him, he teaches how to create beats and you even record your own song together  

Although you will never show this song to anyone, it’s very nice to do something like this with you  

He doesn’t often go to the main practice room, he’d rather dance in the small dance room he has made in your house  

He soon misses the boys and ARMY, which leads to many V-Lives  

He even invites you to do a V-Live with you, but you end up too shy to participate  

He is very intelligent and interested in various topics, so you guys talk a lot about everything that comes to your mind  

At a certain point Hoseok starts thinking what the situation would be if it wasn’t just the two of you  

What if you had a dog?

Or a cat?

Or a child?  

Maybe two?  

Okay, three might be a little bit too much for now  

He talks with you about creating a family together, something he has thought about before, but now he sees that the time has come, you are at this particular level in your relationship when he can talk with you about marriage, family and babies

And your positive reaction definitely makes him realise that you are the one he wants to spend his best and worst days with  

So, you know, you should expect something like a ring when this quarantine finally comes to an end  

▸ Park Jimin

Oh dear, you are not ready for what is about to come  

You see, at first, he is very sad and overall, in a very dark place mentally because he can’t be with his members, ARMY, people are suffering all over the world

But he soon realises that he can make the best out of this situation by spending all the free time he has with you

He truly misses going out on dinner dates at a fancy restaurant, going to the park or doing anything else outside, but hey, there is plenty of stuff you both can do at home  

Prepare yourself for endless affection  

Cuddles? He has invented them.  

Will literally make the strangest excuses to cuddle

“Darling, the dishes are washed, come cuddle me!”

Everything is still pretty normal till the little demon in him comes out and he starts tickling you or just trying to get your attention when you are busy doing something

Speaking of demons, he finally has the time to do something he has wanted to do in a very long time – all day sex and cuddles

He’ll experiment a lot in the bedroom, especially now when he has all the time he could have asked for  

He is another one who will mark you a lot during the quarantine

But if you mark him, that will make him go crazy  

He will love it so much; he will show off your hickeys every time he goes outside

The fact that he doesn’t have to hide them just makes him love them more  

Normally you guys have a lot of movie nights (a lot taking into consideration his hectic schedule), but now that he can take his time you two choose to spend more time reading  

Jimin loves reading and is happy to finally have the time to do so  

If you share the same taste about books, he might even read you some of his or your book to sleep  

He still practices a lot

He sometimes takes you with him to the studio  

Shows you some of the newest choreographies and dances some of your favourite ones for you  

He tries to write a song for the new album  

Of course, the song is inspired by his love for you  

You are his muse for everything  

You guys go grocery shopping every other day and it’s honestly so? much? Fun

You have always seen grocery shopping as a chore, but now when it is pretty much the only excuse to go outside and as you are with Jimin, you just love it  

He just grabs random products and makes super weird jokes, but you love them  

He will also buy the things each member loves and make a gift basket, which he will leave by the door  

At first, he doesn’t want the members to know it was him but when he starts to ask them if they have received anything these days it will be obvious that it was him

At the end of the quarantine, you both figure out that you had a great time, only because you were together

▸ Kim Taehyung

He has been so tired and burned out for such a long time that he is honestly thankful for this lockdown  

Will spend the first few days eating take out, listening to some good music and napping and cuddling in bed with you

He enjoys just being with you, so the first few days you don’t talk as much  

After some time he just gets energised and has 2897492 ideas what to do  

He is not very vocal about what he wants, so sometimes you will have to guess what he wants to do  

Surprisingly it takes him a lot of time to start missing going outside  

Of course, he instantly misses the members and ARMY  

Randomly calls them asking them how are they coping  

Will watch the V-Lives each member does  

Gets more active on Weverse and Twitter  

When he finally starts to miss the outer world, but realises there is not much to do out there, he suggests creating matching outfits for when you can go back to being social  

You literally spend a whole day doing that  

You even take some photos together, which later you both use for lock screens  

He finds a set of lacy lingerie, which he has never seen before  

The price tag is even still on

He makes you wear it the very same night  

Let’s say that you won’t be able to go out of your bedroom for some time and the reason for that is definitely nor the quarantine  

You guys watch vintage films pretty much every night  

The whole aesthetic just inspires him

He writes a few songs throughout that time  

He is not entirely sure if he wants to record and post them anywhere because they are deeply personal

Which means that they are about you  

One day when you both are grocery shopping; he buys a few succulents and plants them  

Names each of flower after you and the members

Of course, your flower is exactly next to his  

When he does that you realise that he really misses them, but because of the virus he doesn’t want to visit them, because he understands that it is somewhat dangerous and it is in fact pretty anxious about this whole situation  

So you decide to invite the members for dinner  

Tae doesn’t know for this and when he opens the door to see Jimin, he is immensely happy  

Won’t admit it, but he even cried a little  

The guys stay for the night  

Well, they don’t really sleep, they stay late and talk about all the things they missed in each other’s lives throughout this quarantine  

▸ Jeon Jungkook

Is so stressed out  

He calls his family and the members every day to check up on them  

You can’t leave the house without a mask, gloves, disinfectant hand gel and tissues  

God forbid if you get late or don’t pick up the phone  

He is honestly so scared because he just can’t imagine life without you  

On the other hand, he will spend many days mainly gaming  

He finally has the time people normally do at his age  

At home, he fools around a lot with you  

Many pillow and tickle fights  

You always end up cuddling  

Every now and then he starts overthinking everything  

He gets so sad and depressed when this happens

Half of the songs he writes throughout the quarantine are based on the emotions he has felt because of his overthinking habits  

The other half is about you, of course

Apart from writing lyrics, he works on producing some new stuff  

It takes him some time, actually lots of time, but he wants to make sure that everything is perfect  

He also works on the latest choreographies and tries to come up with new ideas about choreographies for future songs  

When it comes to dancing, you often randomly start dancing in the kitchen  

Nothing particular, just swaying around and kissing

These kisses often lead to more sexual stuff, just keep that in mind  

Sex with him is always interesting, so nothing really changes  

Maybe you will have more sex in comparison to the times when you are both working

He will also ask you to teach him how to do various things  

He also admires you because you are so intelligent, one of the things he loves the most about you  

He picks up some of your habits  

He even starts talking a bit like you  

The members tease him a lot about that afterwards  

“Oh, and Jungkook, since when do you use the word invaluable?”  

Talking about the members, apart from calling every day, he will video chat with them a lot  

Like everyday  

One day you go to the kitchen, wearing only his T-shirt and some underwear, your hair is a mess because of the last night activities  

You don’t even see Jungkook talk with Seokjin till you hear Jin saying “Oh, and say hi to Y/n from me, she looks fabulous today”  

Since that day Jungkook always tell you in advance when he is going to talk with one of his members

Jungkook love language

Jungkook is a true romantic at heart. All those K Dramas you see with the dreamy main lead? Jungkook is that person but for real. He probably even grew up wanting to be that person lol. However, this is something he actually tries to hide most of the time, it’s like a secret he only wishes to reveal to the most deserving person. He might even see this as a weakness because he feels he has to be stronger and more vicious in his profession. But he does not completely kill it either. He just wants that part of him to not interfere with other aspects of his life, mostly career.

In a relationship, Jungkook is more of a giver. This is why he tends to be attracted to the damsel in distress type who he can protect and take care of. As discussed earlier in his Personality reading, this comes from both his Virgo sun and Leo moon which makes him the provider and the protector. However, his Venus being in Libra shows that he actually values equal give and take in a relationship, not material wise, more like love and energy wise. He easily senses when there is an imbalance in the relationship. So for example, if his partner whom he “rescued”, takes him for granted and does not contribute anything to the relationship, he will eventually start judging them and lose the level of attraction he had at the start. Yet, he would not immediately walk out on them because he tends to be in relationships for the long haul. Even if it is hurting him. It would end up being a half baked relationship which is just existing, just because Jungkook finds it difficult to end it. His life path number is 9 and I think it plays a significant role here. He faces difficulty starting and ending things.

When there are problems in his relationships or he has complaints against his partner, he just doesn’t know how to communicate it to them without hurting them. This could be some sort of conditioning from a past relationship where trying to express his honest opinions always led to fights, which made him resort to escapism as a coping mechanism. But it ultimately doesn’t work because it is avoidance which doesn’t last and it can result in a big outburst later, hurting his partner much more than required. This unwillingness to hurt can also lead him to resort to dishonesty which he does not do to have his own selfish way, but just because he feels a lie will save a lot of hurt and drama. This in turn ends up with him living in guilt because Jungkook mostly values honesty and transparency in a relationship.

Jungkook is pretty traditional in the way he defines relationships. He takes this word very seriously. If he dates someone, it is because he has strong serious feelings for them. He is not the type to date just for sex or from shallow superficial feelings. If he wants sex, he’d rather just sleep around making his intentions fully clear than date someone under false pretense.

Jungkook is a naturally loving and caring person, which is why sometimes when he makes friends, people can mistake him as being romantically interested in them. This might create misunderstandings, and clarifications on his part can be mistaken as him trying to wash his hands off of them. This might also be why Jungkook prefers to stay secluded a lot of times.

Jungkook is an introverted lover, meaning he tends to have a rich imaginative world inside of him with regards to love. He is an idealistic person in general and extremely idealistic about love. However, he has self esteem issues that make him feel he is not worthy of having this ideal love that he dreams of, and that he has to settle for less. If you’re in a relationship with him, chances are he feels a lot more than he shows. He tends to hold back on his expressions a lot, not because he’s not capable of showing his love, but because he knows full well that he’s the type to fall hard and fall deep. Once he truly falls in love, he looks forward to making it work long term, and if there’s a breakup, he takes ages to recover. Even if he moves on physically, it leaves a very strong dent on his mental wellbeing— not just the breakup but also all the problems that he underwent during the relationship. This is why, even when he has the feeling of falling in love, he holds most of it back for a long time because he wants to make sure he won’t make a mistake and won’t have to go through the same cycle again, as it is in Jungkook’s personality to not make the same mistakes repeatedly.

His outer expression is actually directly related to the environment his partner creates for him that makes him comfortable to express himself or not. He has likely been, in past relationships, criticized or ridiculed for what he believed about love and how he expressed it, so he tends to now hold those expressions very close to his heart and only shows when it feels very safe. But make no mistake, he is still that K Drama king lol who is always bursting at the seams to show his partner his love. And in many varied ways too. He has lots and lots of ideas and can actually be obsessed with the thought of pleasing and impressing his partner. This is because Jungkook is naturally someone who enjoys making other people happy as long as they are not manipulative. He loves to do many things to make his loved ones happy and then loves to bask in that feeling of appreciation because it gives him immense happiness. This shows through with his love for Armys. When he is on stage, he is always looking at them and genuinely enjoying his time with them, but when there are scandals or Armys say nasty things about him, he shuts out everyone and retreats into his shell. This is precisely how he is in his close relationships as well.

This goes on to say that Jungkook needs to continuously feel motivated in a relationship for him to give his 100%. Because he actually gives 200%. Even though he values equal give and take in a relationship, he does not measure what he gives or wait for the other person to give before he starts giving. He will take every opportunity he gets to make someone he loves happy. He also expects his partner to recognize his efforts and value him and what he does. But he does not expect grand gestures from them, he just needs small but continuous signs assuring him that he is doing a good job at keeping them happy. This is very important to him because his whole sense of self worth depends on whether he is successfully making his loved ones happy. Expect lots of surprises in a relationship with Jungkook, which can range from very grand like a spontaneous vacation or expensive jewelry to small everyday things like making you tea or doing a chore without you asking. He’s the type to fuss over his partner when they fall sick and take care of them like a steward lol. The keyword is sensitive. He tries to be attuned with his partner and is very sensitive to their needs, a provider type mentality. But it is also combined with a need for excitement in life, doing new things and spicing it up from time to time. He also does not treat everyone the exact same way. He first takes effort to understand the person, their likes and dislikes and then sort of customizes his affection towards them. This is why even though he loves all his BTS hyungs, he treats each of them quite differently, based on what they like rather than what he is capable of doing, because that’s his capability— to provide according to the need of others.

Jungkook values personal space in relationships but contradictorily he is also quite needy and clingy to his partner. But it really just varies depending on the partner itself. Jungkook tends to adapt initially in a relationship. So his actions will be in relation to his partner’s personality, their likes and dislikes. Again, this is done in an effort to please them, but as the relationship continues, if his partner can’t evolve with him (because Jungkook is very dynamic in love, relationships and in life in general), he tends to distance himself from them, mostly unknowingly — first mentally, then with his time and attention. In this situation, the partner might think he is too detached. However, if the partner can keep up with him, he will behave the exact opposite where he can’t get enough of them, and the partner might think he is clingy so that’s like a double edged sword for him lol poor guy.

It’s interesting that although Jungkook is very rigid personality wise, in love he is much more flexible. It’s almost like love is the only thing that can get through to this man. When in love, he is almost eager to give you his all and you have to take it he won’t take no for an answer! Whatever you like, he will bring to you, even the moon, he won’t give up without at least trying. But, he always has his thinking cap on. He does not do it consciously, but he will always evaluate you and your actions, never blindly believe you. Blind love is not his forte. He likes to stay alert and awake in love, even when he is drowning in love. It’s not just from a place of fear or that he doesn’t want to be manipulated, staying fully conscious also helps him 1) to fully experience and cherish the feeling of love, and 2) understand the concept of love. This goes back to his most dominant habit of learning new things, of which love and relationships are a very important part to him. When Jungkook comes out of a relationship, trust that he always comes out a much more learned, evolved and mature person. He will never blindly follow the same pattern again and again.

There has to be mutual respect in a relationship for him, it’s non-negotiable. He doesn’t care for irrational rowdy behavior. He likes to solve a problem as amicably as possible. His ideal relationship is where two people can open their hearts fully and communicate clearly without being judged, offended or treated disrespectfully. His ideal relationship is also one where two people love each other with the same passion, dedication, loyalty and enthusiasm as they did on day 1 until the last day, which hopefully would be the last day ever.

ohhh hi i’d like to do an exchange reading

how you would be like in bts? (if you were in the group) ⭐️

keywords: i heard “V’s bff” lmao (i also hear this is an inside joke between you and the members), pasta, morning coffee, cheering, mini skirt and also don’t like (they’d probably want you to dress more feminine/mature.. either the company or the fans but i don’t think you’d be into it), photography, dropping cake, diamond ring, hiding behind sunglasses, partying with jimin, pearly white smile

now if you were in bts i believe you’d help yoongi out a lot when it comes to producing (literally the word BEATS screamed at me oh) also you’d cook a lot (a lot of red foods came to mind, so kimchi.. spaghetti/pasta, etc) they’d tease you a lot (something about you and swimming is what the teasing would be about)

jungkook can sometimes interrupt you and singing/rapping your verse right when you’re about to during practice as a joke, i alsoo think you’d fight in the practice room if you mess up or maybe.. step on his shoe during dance practice? taehyung would be SOO defensive when it comes to you, you can do no wrong in his eyes, like bestie members

with joon i think you’d be very close in shows like in the soop or bon voyage where you have to do domestic activities also when you’re about to go onstage is when you two are agreeing a lot

(also i think you’d influence his fashion)

you’d joke for him to rap a certain way and he’d do it lmao. i think with yoongi there is something significant here with you two and coffee? maybe you know his order by heart. hobi seems to look at you like a younger sibling he doesn’t want to grow up. (i get this image of hobi looking down with his hands on your shoulders?)

ok with jimin he would think of you as his equal, also i think when he stays back to practice you’re the first person he asks to help him with lyrics or vocal runs, etc. he would still look to you for lots of things but also would see you on the same level. the two of you would be ruthless in run bts or variety shows though (terrible two when you’re together tbh, scheming) also you’d do vlives together a lot just staring at each other and laughing (i hate to say this but you’d be the “underrated” ship that people would argue over)

now with seokjin he would compliment you a lot lol. you can just scare him at times but he’s still the oldest so he’s conflicted. also, there is an image where he taps your chin a lot haha.

overall you’d be cool. army would think you look good in a pair of overalls and they’d ship you with RM/jimin (this is what i hear tbh) they’d want you to dress more feminine and they’d see you as this older sibling figure 💌

Hiii

V most of the time will be next to you at the end of the concert . He will gran your arm gentle making you wave to the crowd . You can joking glare at him and he can force you to bow by putting his hand on your back . I think he will just do stuff to you at the end concert like splash water on you . I think he will always just tease you toward the end .

V will be nicer to you off stage and you guys will give each other snacks . Feed each other and do random stuff like throwing candy to see who can catch the most in their mouth . Just dancing to the music you hear on stage during your waiting room together.

Jimin can be third wheeling sometimes because of this but he can like to flirt openly with you. I can see him putting the camera close up to your face while your sleeping . He can get the other members to put stuff on your head or body to see if that makes up . It can be contest . With the members you can have a kissing game you know that paper game . With Jimin the paper can drop suddenly and you two just kiss as V could move it out of the way,

Jungkook can be the member that comes to for help with his English. He can asked you for help with high notes . To cover his part sometimes if he isn't feeling that good that day . He can ask you for feedback on his dance moves.

Now with Rm during the chaos of the other members going crazy he look at you as for help . When it is time to make a speech he feels so relax because he knows you can say what needs to be said toward the crititics and fans. I think people will ship you two The most as people will see how Rm looks at you. You guys have this calming and toghether .people will say your "soul mates " lol

Jhope will take good care of you to make sure you always have what you need and stay up with you to entertain you . He will make sure to compliment you well . I can see you guys just walking fown a path holding hands and cheerfully singing 💕 I think you guys will play a lot of sports together like soccer and you always end up on the same team. Would be your underrated ship.

Yoongi and you would be close be next to each other during interviews rubbing each other hands to shake off the nerves . Just having inside jokes about ducks it can be a day you spent out fishing with Seokjin .

Seokjin during photo shoots the staff can ask you to be a couple as each other and you two can pretend to complain and hate it . But it be staring each other eyes than laughing about it . You two can joke about being the rap line . Jim would often buy you food and you can bicker the most with him. He can lied about drinking your soda and just about basic stuff to see your reaction lol. I think you guys will, often hang out and do vlives toghether .

You can produce a lot of music and also come up with concepts of the group's. The outfits + hair styles you can inspire the other members to get . On variety shows you can get ask to impersonate the other members . People will love as it can be so spot on.

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Your reading is so detail and I hope mine will resonate as much as yours did to me .

I knew V will be my bestie 😍and that would be funny as a joke. The fans wanting me to dress more feminine I assume like twice or red velvet . Can you imagine wearing tall heels doing bts dance. Me and Jimin would party 😎. I like to think I could write songs and help produce with Suga.

I can see myself stepping on his shoe 😏 as a " mistake " of course if Jk kept playing with me . V having my back 🤧 thank you best friend . Just chilling with Joon and I would ask him to do A UK beat . Of course I know Yoogni taste 😁. Jimin and I would be like devil's because I need him to help me fight Jk. I can be quiet so I can myself just walking up and Jin getting scare because he didn't hear me lol. The fandom😭 wanted me to do everything they do in heels and a mini skirt . I believe in woman rights please 😤.

I could understand why because I do feel like I have to dress more feminine I like to be comfy. Thank you to the reading . 🙆🏽‍♀️love it
