I think I recently saw you say something about Taekookers not being one group, but that there's more separate parts . What would those parts be according to you?

Hi anon! Oh, there's such a wide variety and I'm probably not even aware of all the different sides of Tkk fandom.

There's those that think Tae and Jk have been together since 2015/16 ish and are fighting to break their closet (intentionally signalling to fandom about it, and they are not allowed to come out because of BH/Hybe).

There's those who believe but don't ship.

There's those who ship but don't believe.

There's those who constantly doubt Jkk.

There's those who mostly like the Jkk/Tkk drama.

There's those who think Tae and Jk are just friends with benefits.

There's those who think Jk has been dismissive and less loving towards Tae for some time (the timespan being varied, some also thinking Tae is a victim kinda guy in this).

There's those who think both Taennie and Tkk are real and Tae and Jk broke up at one point (apparently there's also this one anon who thinks Tae, Jk and Jennie is a thing 😂) (Jk being a victim in this for some, but also a womanizer to others).

There's many differences in how people see specific moments. I'd say that's the mistake most outsiders make, is to think all Tkkrs think and believe the same. That is absolutely not true.

For myself, and quite some others too I believe, I think Tae have been together for quite some time (probably 2016 in a more official way). I think it's been crazy tough and there's a possibility that at times they were ready to throw the towel in. I don't think they ever separated for a long period of time, but I think there were lapses of time whee they went through shit and that had an effect on their relationship. I strongly disagree with Jk being dismissive and cold towards Tae. I strongly disagree with Tae being a victim. I generally don't think they signal fandom about theri relationship, with maybe some exceptions (like the t-shirt thing). I think they want to stay private, not only because of their closet, but also because of them being famous.

We don't all have to think alike, none of us actually know. Personally I enjoy reading some alternate opinions, it keeps me on my toes (though I dislike the negativeness that comes with it so often).

[dearweirdme]

Rain, did you also have a point at which you wondered if jikook was real? I've seen some people admit to it recently.

Hi anon!

No I didn't. Most Jkk ever did for me was question whether what I was seeing between Tae and Jk was also just friendship.

I've seen a lot of Jkk footage. When I became aware of there being two huge ships I wanted to see what it was all about, but also... I love seeing Jk and Jm together, which ultimately results in my Tiktok being stuck in Jkk fandom at times 😂.

Jk and Jm have some moments that, when you watch those outside of the context of their friendship, look as though there might be more. But when you look at the whole of their interactions, and the whole of BTS it's quite clear that Jk and Jm are just friends. I think for me that was just always very clear.

Jm and Jk make a lot of sense as a ship, but as a real couple they absolutely do not make sense. That is made very clear by Jkkrs constantly having to bend reality (making other members the bad guys, making BangPd and BH a fighter for queer people, making enlistment some sort of fanfic, filling in voids with sexual and romantic behavior. Jkkrs themselves at times are the ultimate debunk of their ship for me.

[dearweirdme]

Ive been watching a lot of early years taekook lately and I can't imagine how anyone can move on from them really. And I had a very very weird thought.

Tae looks a little oblivious in many of the documented "moments". What if.. what ifffff he had no idea until he accidentally watched a taekook compilation! What if he then realised his and jk's feelings?

I think I should take a break from all the kdramas

Hi anon!

They were so cute right!!

I'm honestly cringing a bit about the thought of them watching Tkk edits 😂... I honsetly hope they kinda stay away from the madness that at times occurs. It's just, I think it would be so odd for them to see people react to a private part of their bond? But I suppose they aren't able to escape seeing stuff.. especcially with Jk on Tiktok 😂 (and Tae probably has one as well).

I agree that it looks as though Tae clued in later than Jk. I think he was really wanting to be just a great Hyung to Jk. I think it was when Jk started to outgrow his early teen looks that Tae started to realize there was more to them than just friendship. In general I think it might not have been hard for him to recognize the attraction, but moreso the acceptance of it (for several reasons).

Not sure if you heard about this, but a while back there was someone who mentioned seeing Tae golfing with Mingyu and Jeonghan from SVT. I believe Jungkook was out of country at the time. Shortly after OP’s mention of seeing them, Mingyu posted a photo of him golfing on insta.

Tae’s previously been seen golfing with Jeonghan before as well, so I’m thinking that this sighting might’ve actually happened.

But I agree that, in general, it seems that the 97-liners are more private about their hangouts in comparison to what we see from Wooga. But that’s also in line with how JK and Tae are concerning their private lives, imo.

Hi anon!

Thanks for adding this! I wanted to mention it at the end of my response, but my adhd brain just rushed past the thought when I had it 🙈😂.

We learn about new friendships members have all the time, there’s so much we don’t know.. ao I would not be surprised at all about learning that Tae is close with 97liners at all, I’m honestly expecting it.

[dearweirdme]

Do you have any idea why JK go with Taehyung friends which Wooga but We never see Taehyung with 97 circle.

Hi anon!

I think what’s key here is the word ‘see’. We mostly see Tae and Wooga in slightly public settings, which is also the times we saw Jk with them. We hardly see Tae with Wooga when they’re in private settings, unless they decide to post about it themselves. Jk and 97liners keep things more private in general I feel. I don’t really know of an event they attended together in public like we have Tae and Wooga (but maybe I’m just not aware?) so to me it makes sense that we’d see Jk with Wooga more than we would Tae with 97 liners.. just because of the way those friendgroups move in general. Jk called Seo-Joon hyung, which basically means that he knows him very well and to me that translates into them having met much more often than the times we have seen them together. I find it very possible that Tae is also Hyung to some of the 97liners.. they’re just more private about it.

As an aside.. there’s also always the possibility of one partner fitting within the other’s friendgroup better than vice versa. It happens and would be completely normal.

[dearweirdme]

i had the weirdest dream rain. so bts were all discharged and tae went live for a big announcement and then he started saying how he is queer and how he found love with his bandmate. and i remember just feeling insane like i couldn't believe it was happening. i had waited years for this moment. but then he said he was dating jimin? he said he recognised vminies for supporting them even when nothing was known that he and jimin are so grateful for their support. he also said it was funny that he and jimin were both shipped with jk and they used to laugh at us because they were dating each other this whole time. and vminies were literally having their last laugh. i was so confused i woke up lol

Hi anon!

😂😂😂 that would be such a turn of events! I don’t think fandom will ever recover.

Thanks for sharing, made me laugh 😊

[dearweirdme]

Let's say Tae never posts anything about JK while they are in the army, would you still think they are together now? And do you think it's possible they only mention each other for fanservice? I saw someone say Tae uses Jk because for him that's the only viable ship, but Jk also uses Jm, because he has that option as well. What's your take on that?

Hi anon!

Uhm, okay.. weird takes 🤨.

Tae not posting Jk will have no effect on my thoughts.. though the opposite (Tae will post him) probably will make me believe they still are. The difference lies in that they owe us nothing when it comes to their private lives. When it comes to deciding whether I think they are still together I think the most important time will be when BTS reunites and we can see them interact. I very much expect them to stay together, though it probably is very hard to be apart right now.

On the second part of your ask.. I had to laugh so hard on the ‘viable’ part. Do you know what would happen if Tae started mentioning Goff, or any of the Wooga’s, or Bogum, as many times as he mentioned Jk? We’ve seen how fast Tae and Goff became a whole fandom thing last year. The thing is.. they don’t actually go around creating ships like that. Tae and Jk as well as Jk and Jm have real strong bonds. That is why they mention each other so often. The most close it gets to fanservice (and it really isn’t that) is that they know army loves hearing about the members. But the reason behind them sharing those moments with us is not for fame and fortune and keeping a ship alive.. it’s because they care for each other and they like sharing that with people who care just as much.

[dearweirdme]

Hi Rain!

How are you? Am I weird for missing your Jkk posts a bit? I did like watching you burn them.

Hi anon!

I'm doing well, thanks for asking!

😂😂, I don't think you are weird for that... many of us like the occasional Jkkr burn I think.

I think I got a bit tired of it, especcially with all their enlistment nonsense. There's only so many ways to tell someone they're wrong and in the end it's not as though they actually listen to what I'm saying. Most of the time it's just someone enjoying the platform they're given.

It's always the same kind of stuff with them, if you go through my straws or ship analysis tag you'll find the same nonsense over and over again. So I think I just saw no point in entertaining them any longer. Debunking Jkk is easy.. while it would take them hours to write asks in my inbox I'd be done with a response in no time. It's a bit sad at times actually. So I think I'm personally just a bit over it.

[dearweirdme]

I love how sometimes Taekook are just as in awe of their relationship as we are. When Jungkook shared that they play their new music too each other first and then added that they actually have very different music tastes, while shaking his head in disbelief. I love that they went to a fortune teller together, trying to get answers for why they are so drawn to each other, feel so connected and complimentary. It's just so sweet, like they can't comprehend this deep connection but they know it's there. I'm so happy they found each other 💜

Hi anon!

Oh how I wish I knew how that fortune teller visit took place!!

I know what you mean. Something I love about them is how so often they will have these tiny smiles whenever the other does something they find endearing. It's something that gets looked over easily, because it's these really small instances and they almost seem to hide it themselves. But the power those smiles have on me.. 🥰

[dearweirdme]

So i read in one of your ask that you believed Larry were at some point together (correct me if i'm wrong). I have to tell you i know nothing about one direction or Larry even if i've been listening to some of their songs.. But i do know they are have a strong fandom and the same thing could be said for the ship too.

Now i want to know is there anything similar between Taekook and Larry? And do you think Taekook makes more "sense" than Larry?

Hi anon!

What’s very important in both cases is to separate the persons involved from their fandoms. This goes even more for Larry fandom in recent years, because with no visible interactions between Louis and Harry it’s very much something that is carried by fandom theories alone. However, if you take the time to look at footage of when Harry and Louis were still in 1d, personally I feel the proof for that ship is even stronger than that for Tae and Jk being together. The similarities between both couples is the level of intimacy they share compared to other bandmembers. Other than that, it’s very different individuals, a very different culture, a very different band. So there’s little similarities in how things actually take place.

I find talking about whether a relationship makes sense a bit difficult, because a lot of what makes a relationship is about feelings and those aren’t necessarily sensible. If you mean is one shipping fandom more sensible… I’d say Tkkrs are more sensible now because we base our thoughts on things we can still witness.

It's the same. If you check other pics of him on the same day you can see that the pockets are not attached to the coat, because they pass the coat when he sits and they change height. So we can assume that the belt + pockets can be removed together.

Hi anon!

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

[dearweirdme]

i wanna know how did ppl even come to the conclusion that tk had a private atomix date. i mean jk only posted a pic so how were ppl so sure that they booked the whole restaurant for just the two of them? did someone from the restaurant start this whole thing? i vaguely remember a staff saying that tk were at the restaurant and she talked to tae or something. cuz it definitely started somewhere and it wasn't from the fandom for sure.

Hi anon!

I think it’s the combination of a pic of the two of them, the restaurant tagging Taekook, and Hobi asking where that pic was taken that made people think it was just the two of them. Tae and Jk do go places together, and when you think of them as a couple (or as just friends even) it is not out of the realm of possibilities that it could have been the two of them. So it wasn’t that odd of a thing to think, but at the same time.. there was no definite proof so keeping a bit of an open mind about things like this is probably wise 😊.

[dearweirdme]

JK adopting Bam because he was the runt and wasn't getting milk. Tae adopting Yeontan because of his angry eyebrows and health condition. Both said, that one needs me -- I'll take him.

Tae researching Pomeranians and getting Yeontan every treatment possible. JK getting Bam into a special facility to get top notch care.

JK deleting his instagram before his solo album and then creating a Bam account while in military service. Tae, Most Handsome Man, choosing Yeontan's face for his album cover.

The way they have both involved Bam and Yeontan in lives, you cannot tell me there have not been full family facetimes.

Proud Puppy Parents.

Hi anon!

I love both of their bonds with their dogs. It’s so cute!

Jk creating an instagram for Bam is so nice and I’m so glad to have a piece of him he feels safe giving right now.

[dearweirdme]

Heart full just by following a dog’s instagram 😂

[dearweirdme]

The people defending Yoli need to reevaluate a bit. Calling people liars and acting morally superior when she was still making twts about Atomix being a “taekook date” despite having those photos since July 2022. She’s been knowingly spreading lies this entire time, but if that’s not enough to question her, then go through her following list and see how many vile akgaes she follows and interacts with.

Claiming to support and believe in taekook while opening up a space for them to be dragged is anti behavior. It sucks that she’s going through some personal things, but she should probably stop speaking in taekook and handle those problems first.

Hi anon!

I’m pretty annoyed by the whole situation, but I’m also kinda over the whole thing. I’m gonna stop discussing her, because I think accounts like that are best to be ignored and as long as we keep discussing her it will only keep the buzz going.

Not wanting to look stupid but just wanted to know if the dress looks same? Or is it same? Very new here and trying to make keads and tale of whole fandom and taekook and stuff.

Hi anon!

I’m not good at fashion, but if you were to take the belt off it would be the same outfit?

https://x.com/MalikaKara17664/status/1778404510710292723

[dearweirdme]

I think what that yoli did is irreversible now. Regardless if it's edited or real, tkkrs are the butt of the joke now. Jkkrs are camping in that post now, and making fun of tkkrs. Not that I mind it, but it's just annoying that a tkkr is the one who did that. It could've been a jkkr or an OT7, but a petty tkkr? That was so childish! It doesn't change anything about tkk's relationship, but jokers will forever use that moment as a gotcha moment against tkkrs. I'm pretty sure yoli is not even a tkkr. When I saw that pic, though, I felt like I've seen that photo before. Just can't remember where. Anyway, what's done is done. Even if JK posted those photos in his IG, it doesn't matter now. Jokers pulled out jkk's photos similar to those as well to dispel how those aint special coz jkk have those, too.

Hi anon!

Who cares what Jkkrs think, say, and do?! They are always annoying. They are always wrong. So why would it matter what they do now?

I think if you ignore that side of fandom you’ll find not much has changed at all.
