are you all not moved by these statements ? 8 girls in same night wow. i bet if it was taehyung you would've ran with it, spreading it everywhere and laughing .

Dear Anon,

First of all: hi babes, how are you doing this weirdly long February? I've been fine, in case you're wondering! I've got ANOTHER exam in a few days and I'm kinda tired from work but that's to be expected tbh.

Today I'm in a weird mood, a bit chatty, but not like when you're a teen and suddenly you've found that One person you want to talk about the secrets of the universe with, more like when you're seventy and you find yourself at the bus stop and start running your mouth about Oh, today's youth is so different, I remember back in my day...

Anyway! I think that's why I'm actually answering you and not blocking and deleting. You know, to give you a good example on how manners work.

Do we even know each other, anon? Have we ever spoken? How did you choose this humble shitposting blog to share your truths?

Have you ever considered saying "Hi"?

As for your accusations: since I don't have twitter, I can't see the full thread, first of all. The only tweet I could see carries some very serious accusation that, were they actually confirmed, would make me retch. I'm sorry, you've got the wrong blog if you thought you could checkmate me into "but I'll always be an army 😭" speak. My affection towards bts is conditional and I actually ✨do not care✨ if that makes me a bad army. If it turns out any of them actually tried to flirt with a minor while they were whole ass adults I'm skedaddling out of here faster than you could say "purple".

However, this tweet doesn't seem like a victim trying to accuse anyone, but rather a "gotcha!" from someone who wants us to see what a bad bad boy manwhore Jimin is. And as such, can I ask: at which point did I give the impression that I would actually care?

I'm sorry, that is a genuine question and I hope you do get back to me on that.

Because the thing is: I... Don't actually care? I'm sorry? IF this is true and he's been flirting with consenting women left and right, I gotta hand it to him: good job? Wish that was me? (Flirting with 8 women a night, to be clear, not flirting with jimin. I don't think we'd have the right chemistry.)

Also if that had been Taehyung I'd have said the same thing? I also update this blog every, like, three months, so I don't even think I would have noticed?

I mean, yeah, I ship Jikook, all things considered I think they have AT THE LEAST known each other biblically, and if they haven't I'm sorry they fumbled the bag because babyboys have never been normal about each other a single day in their lives, but if they aren't actually together and they've never been together... Sucks for them, I guess? Or good for them for having a healthy masculine relationship that's extremely loving?

I don't know what you want me to say here, anon. Genuinely I'm out of my depth here, give me more direction next time! I promise I can write a good monologue if the situation calls for it!

Lots of love, hope you have a nice day,

R.

Today's question is: is Jungkook being paid by the Jimin mention? Is it some clause in his contract that he can't do a single live without linking something back to him? Or is he just THAT Jimin-centric?

[kkyujikoo]

Idk I was just thinking that if it ever came out in an indisputable, undeniable way that jikook has never had anything but a platonic relationship... I think my first reaction would be hilarity.

Oh, man, I would LAUGH.

Not in disbelief, but because the idea of Mr "neck "biter"" and Mr "I've seen you two days ago but now I'm bored and naked on fucking VLIVE begging you to please come to my place" NEVER crossing the platonic line in the sand is... Honestly hilarious to me? Like. You guys never managed to smooch? Not even once? Is your game THAT bad? Do you need someone to make you a diagram?

[kkyujikoo]

Man, the drama around Tae's presence in AYS is so funny to me BC most of the takes are nonsensical at best. Did my man thirdwheel? Sadly, yes. Was jk annoyed about someone barging in in his Allotted Exclusive Jimin Time? Well, probably, judging by his reactions, a little bit.

Was any of them rude, or inconsiderate, or whatever vilifying adjective y'all are throwing around this week, for this situation? Absolutely not.

As an aside, EVEN IF it might have been slightly annoying to jk (the same way your sibling might annoy you by joining your activity, by which I mean that you might complain but in the end you're actually happy to spend time with them) it was incredibly funny TO ME.

I'm sorry you don't get the incredible karmic justice of it all, but to me it was SO funny.

Like, my man Taehyung has SUFFERED for ten years straight. This is the same man that had to clap his hands LIVE because jikook were literally squishing him on the couch with their attempts to communicate. This man is the man who had at least TWO circumstances CAUGHT ON TAPE of Jimin standing him up because he had to do something with Jungkook. We want to talk about the treatment he got after the infamous Osaka vlive? Poor Tae has been going Through It.

I think it was his God given right as one of their closest friends and someone who has suffered their... Whatever they do... to decide "I'm gonna crash your little work vacation". He DID crash it and it's kind of clear they were not expecting someone to actually come along for their travels, but that doesn't mean any of them is a villain???

At most this reads like ACTUAL sibling behaviour (both Tae crashing their little work honeymoon AND them reminding him "you're just a guest") that bears NO fucking impact on the clearly very loving relationships there are within the three of them.

Please, before spreading whatever narrative about any one of them being some kind of mustache twirling villain or bully, take a step back, take a walk and maybe you'll clear your head a little

Are You Sure?! - Episode 7 Observations

9.5/10 ☆

Something clicked for me in the latest AYS?! episode. After years of following these two people and getting excited for any interaction or information regarding them, it was now perhaps the first time when watching them felt like not witnessing something special. Oh, I know how this sounds, but it's not what you think and I will explain.

When I say it didn't feel special I meant that nothing felt like a novelty. You know how shocked and excited we all became when Jimin called Jungkook during a birthday wlive? Or the collective metaphorical screaming on social media every time one would get close into the other one's space in some behind the scenes clip? That reaction for me was also a result of having to see that in a larger context in which jikook were not always the main focus.

Now with AYS?! and seven episodes in, I'm used to basically everything. The evening and morning routine, the soft talking, the flirting, the playfighting, the way they eat together. The nakedness and all the tattoos on display. I've developed a tolerance to it. And episode 7 really helped in cementing that. Yeah, they're half naked in a hot spring. Of course they are. They're brushing their teeth and do their morning skincare routine together. Of course they are. Jungkook buys the snacks and Jimin is in charge of feeding him. Of course. They laugh at the same things and everything is funny when they're together. Of course they do. They're playfighting again? Why would anyone be surprised at this point?

And I love that we got here. It's everything I wanted without ever thinking that it could be possible. It is extremely satisfying and fun to watch them. It has always been, but AYS?! was an open window into their lives together in a way that it hadn't happened before.

Sapporo is a special segment for many reasons. And as much as it's fun to see them have a good time, the impending military enlistment looms like a shadow over their trip. Jungkook is the one who seems intentional in talking about it in a way that makes light of the situation, while Jimin is more on the silent side.

But all this inevitably made me think of a downside. Because how am I suppose to go back to waiting for an aknowledged look while Jimin and Jungkook would sit at opposite ends in an interview setting? Or not doing a wlive together? Getting minimal interactions because there's 5 other people there? It would feel like something is not right. Jimin and Jungkook come in a package and they do everything together. They laugh and never get bored together. Jungkook cooks for Jimin while Jimin fills the exact needed space and purpose in that kitchen. Jimin can talk about learning to snowboard with Jungkook's friends and that conversation to remain between them and no one else. They can take showers together and then act like stupid boys in some endurance contest in the freezing water and it's their own thing and theirs only.

AYS?! Sapporo is bittersweet. For Jimin and Jungkook because as much fun they have, they know that their remaining time of freedom is getting to a close. Snow is beautiful there and they are together, but in a few weeks whatever sentiment that might evoke will be in the back of their minds when their reality will be completely different. That's why making those last minute memories together was so important. And they knew that and Jungkook felt the need to say it out loud. Like a constant reminder of how special those few days were.

And it's bittersweet for me too. While there's always the option of rewatching, who knows when such an opportunity (and privilege) will arise once again? Maybe never. Maybe AYS?! will be the first and last time to be able to take a peak through that window at their life...

I just find it so fucking funny how baby JK was SO ADAMANT on ranking JM last on looks and now he's going full tail-wagging, puppy-eyed, "you're prettier than the clouds" bf on THE VERY SAME GUY.

Oh, how the turntables

[kkyujikoo]

Gotta love how the whole jikook tag is full of "since jikook hugged that way, they've been separated a long time" and variations of it, meanwhile my first and second and subsequent reactions all were "jikook are annoying as fuck". Which. Babes. Let's all be real rn: jikook are Annoying as fuck and I say this affectionately but also I feel like it bears repeating and understanding deeply. If they have their little ~dramatic main characters moment ~ is because they have been, and will always be, the ~ dramatic main characters of a love story ~ in their friend group.

Just to have a small previously on: Jungkook had seen jimin two days prior (that we KNOW of) and he went on a full jimin lockdown for the whole ass world to see at FOUR in the fucking morning.

One of the last vlives they did all 7 of them together Tae had to clap his hands to remind the dudes they were basically squeezing him into the couch so they could have the space to do their weird little rituals.

Need I remind you of jk bridal carrying jimin in the background and the both of them being so confused over why they'd just done that that jungkook let him go five seconds later? Sometimes even they don't realise why they're doing whatever weird ritual they're doing.

They choreographed an exchange which was "what is your favourite song?" "It's serendipity" into a whole ass seduction process where they were basically about to make out.

They have tunnel vision when it comes to each other, we should have grasped that in the last ten years. And sometimes that means being that annoying couple (of besties, maybe? I doubt that but it could be, I guess?) that even in the middle of an important reunion, can't help but focus on each other. It's okay to admit and it's not trying to smear their name. I just feel like we'd all be more chill if we understood that fundamentally jikook can't help but focus on each other when they're within a mile radius of each other. It doesn't have any deeper meaning, it doesn't mean they ~havent seen each other for months~ and personally, I don't even think it's about teasing: they just... Do That. They're like that. Not even when they're saying goodbye to their beloved hyung they manage to stop being Like That because I don't think it's a conscious choice.

[kkyujikoo]

The thing about jikook and translating their dynamic fanfic-wise is that if I had to pick a trope for them thinking solely of their real life story, they'd be 100% childhood friends to lovers. Like they've got the whole "knowing you like the back of my hand" down to a t.

But if we're thinking of chemistry... Childhood friends to lovers have a more... Subdued? kind of tension? Meanwhile jikook have the straightforward kind of tension you usually find in enemies/rivals to lovers.

Like when I think of jikook in fanfic terms is like... High school sweethearts blended with the spiciness (and I don't mean this in the explicit terms, I just mean in terms of romantic tension) of rivals to lovers. I gotta tell you it's a nightmare for me to find fics.

[kkyujikoo]

Jungkook truly said "It's missing Jimin hour at my house and I'm making it everyone's problem"

[kkyujikoo]

I've been in this fandom for one year and I've already seen this shit going round at least five times but like... Can someone explain to me why they're supposedly distant this time around? Even on anon, I'm genuinely curious

[kkyujikoo]

As much as intellectually I find some claims around tk to make no sense (and that's just my opinion as a person who wanted to ship it, and as such tried to research on the topic, but ended up thinking "okay but there's nothing here"), it's starting to make me uneasy how this whole 'shipwar' keeps going on every damn day and how every single part of it conducts themselves. Even myself.

While I think comparison is fair game if we're trying to understand how a specific pair interacts (because that's how using context works: by comparing behaviour A to behaviour B, C and D and noticing if there are differences or similarities) there's also the fact that it's always those two pair who get compared to each other, and at some point it actually starts to feel malicious in its intents, like stirring shit into the pot.

Also, as much as I find honestly insulting the narrative people ascribe to Jimin, that of the homewrecker who gets in between tk every single moment, it's also unfair to tk to bring up every single time the fact that they've had a bit of a fallen out in recent years. Yes, they probably aren't as close as they were when they were teens. Which is also normal as relationships during your teenage years (especially in such an insulated context) are more consuming, whether they are friendships or romantic entanglements. That's the nature of teenage relationships. And yes, given their soop talk, they had to recalibrate something in their relationship to make it work again and to get to be closer again. And I think it's something that's very mature of them. But still bringing up that conversation on the verge of 2022 feels disingenuous, especially since it's crystal clear that by now they have patched up whatever rupture had been between them. Crying about distance between them in content filmed and posted in 2021 seems a lot like trying to "defend" the validity of your ship over a moment shared between two other people. And it doesn't diverge all that much from people trying to explain away jikook moments when they ship any other jm or jk ship. There is absolutely no need to. So while I understand perfectly the urge to defend JM (because yeah, it's always him getting the most shit, ngl), if people see a sweet tk moment and the only thing they're doing is saying "tk boyfriends" while I might not agree and not find that claim true, I do not think there is any need to go there with pitchforks and torches and light up their house because they're expressing their ship preference, they're not writing an essay over why that single glance means they love each other. They're simply celebrating and it may even be - shocked gasp - hyperbolic. Because that's how the internet works and as long as people say that in the privacy of their own social media profiles and not right under the interested parties' noses, I am a-okay with that. And even if for some reason I am not, I can choose to SCROLL TF DOWN.

Because if we're going to stir up shit every time a tk moment happens,

1. We're not going to be any different from tkrs. Like. Even if the m.o. is slightly different, slightly less insulting, it's still instigating a fight.

2. We're literally helping along the process of more people getting into conspiracy theories shitholes by polarising the two views. If we attack people or stir up shit just because someone innocently points out a cute tk moment, or thinks a tk moment is "Sus" (which is not the same as saying "yo bro they're definitely a couple and this is the nail in the coffin for me", it's literally just "this moment does not align with my personal view of platonic relationship"), all those people who thought "uhuh they're cute together" will NOT thank us for letting them see the light. They will, instead, get in defensive mode and be even MORE convinced of their own position, even if that position is biased, even if they're not 100% convinced about those opinions being the absolute truth. Which, I grant you, is something that has happened over the years to any pairing out there that has suffered over shipwars. I'm pretty sure it's something that happens to jikookers too. The only difference I see is that most of the time when people get polarised on the "jikook is real" spectrum" they do not tend to think any member is actively trying to get in between anything, meanwhile in the "tk is absolutely 100% real"... There are truly harmful narratives being spread.

And the fact is... Neither of those two positions are true. As much as I can think that there's a way higher probability of Jikook being together than any other pairing in bts, based on how they act and how the members around them, I know Nothing. I can infer and i can discuss with like-minded people, and it's an interesting observational study over human nature, but could I swear on it? I cannot. I should not, and I honestly do not care to do that because shipping is supposed to be a FUN activity that is based on finding some sliver of joy in observing a relationship you're not actively involved in. (And yes, that's exactly the same thing that happens with "supporting", because as much as we pretend it's two different things, supporting is just a nuance on the shipping spectrum.)

And yet, even I sometimes say, despite knowing I have no certainties and knowing I do not care to have them, "jikook boyfriends" with my whole chest. And I am being hyperbolic over my own knowledge, because maybe they are, but maybe they aren't, and I do not feel the need to explain this concept every time I say it, the same way I do not think the chill part of the tk fandom feels the need to explain themselves every time they say it.

In conclusion: I think if we treat people with the assumption that just because they ship something they have some mob mentality, we're gonna push them into behaving that way. Also, and that's a fact, tk HAVE become closer. And that doesn't undermine jikook any more than any other relationship in bts.

Now I know I might be taken for some kind of troll but yk what? Who cares. I needed to get this off my chest and I needed to put it down in writing because in the midst of shipwars even I myself have made these mistakes, and by writing this down I'm binding myself to do better. If you want to do the same, feel free. If you don't, that's also your choice

[kkyujikoo]

Maybe this is me being delulu, but other than teasing them (because he sure was, if jikook share that space the rest of bangtan 100% knows about it) I think one of the reasons he brought up the studio issue is that people were starting to notice. Even before his input, I had seen a few comments floating here and there about it maybe being JK's studio.

We know they are aware of what's posted about them on the internet, so it wouldn't surprise me if Hobi saw the comments circulating and thought he'd make JM and JK aware of the fact that they hadn't been sneaky.

The fact that they were so caught off guard by his question, and how neither of them could muster an appropriate explanation for it, shows that 1. There was something going on (if it had been simply about not having any other place to do the live they wouldn't have been so 'deer in the headlights' about it), 2. They thought they were getting away with it without having to explain to anyone that it was happening.

If this was a genuine question, I don't think he would have made it in public, honestly. It seems more like a heads up to jikook and an attempt at manage control, albeit a poorly ended one (by explaining what is happening and why, you reduce the possibility of people making it a big deal, although in this specific case it ended up highlighting the strangeness of it all).

The whole studio thing in jimins birthday live is being brought up again and there’s so many things that ??? About it.

• Hobi wondering why jimin is in jks room (I guess it’s unusual for them to share their private studios and use them for another member to have a birthday decor set up just for one live)

• jimin having no response what so ever to defend himself or give a logical reason Aka no space, jk let me as it’s quiet. (neither did jk) no effort was given in that response.

• Hobi GIVING them an explanation for them

• Hobi seemingly teasing jimin for it? Sadly we couldn’t see jks reaction at all

• why did Hobi want jimin to move to his studio? What’s wrong with jks all of a sudden?

• the public space excuse….boy really shot themselves in the foot with that one. That room is the equivalent of a safe. Literally only jk (and now presumably jimin) knows the code to it and it’s named HIS studio. Probably the least public space in the whole building considering even Hobi didn’t know the code

Indeed. Truth above, go have you a look.

Here’s the thing. I don’t think anyone Bangtan-adjacent is truly in the dark. Maybe contractually obligated under an ironclad NDA but honestly, the Jeon-Parks have been an open secret for years. Plural. More than three, even. And if anyone has been at Gay Relationship Drama Ground Zero with them, Hobi has absolutely been there. I think he is one of their strongest supporters.

Bangtan knows been knew has known. I think any surprise on Hobi’s part had more to do with the audacity of those damn kids being all out in public than any real shock that Jimin was in Jungkook’s studio. He was giving them both a little hell and maybe even dropping a hint or two for the rest of us.

Long story short, you’re right anon. The Jeon-Park household is ready to set the world on fire and they look a little pleased about it. Burn it down, gentlemen. Burn it down.

[kkyujikoo]

Jikook + Bam are precisely the stereotype of "one of the partners wanted a pet and the other didn't, but now the pet is 100% in love with the less willing partner and hangs onto every word they say"

[kkyujikoo]

I really shouldn't be surprised, but like... Aren't these people embarassed by themselves?

They were literally all over each other to the point of Tae having to separate them about two weeks ago during the vlive (which is a waaayy more reliable source than a photoshoot where you can't even see JK's face, btw) and still the consensus is "oh no poor jk must be freed from this fanservice he didn't choose to participate in"??? I think it's time for them to either get off the internet or try to watch the actual content they're claiming to watch, cause none of their arguments make sense

Short(ish) Rant 2.0

#freejungkook is back again 🤢🤮 More like free BTS from crazy solo stans and homophobic bishes who only know ‘attack’ and not ‘appreciate’. Tbh i’m pissed off at both the crazy jk stans as well as the jm stans (lets not start with tkkrs). Neither of them have any sense of what they’re spreading. Their narratives and comments belong to some teenage wattpad rage fic. Jimin doesn’t need to seek attention, y’all idiots seem to be giving him all of it even if he sneezes in JK’s direction lmao. And JK isn’t some helpless puppy who’s being ‘used’ for FaNSerViCe. This part of the fandom really can’t take jikook interacting 🤣 which is sad AF considering these two members gravitate towards each other a lot… if it was taekook y’all would’ve birthed out 1001 18+ narratives. If it was vmin, the threads would be all about ‘soulmate power’. But since it’s jikook, we get ‘Jimin is a desperate/attention seeking/untalented hoe’ and ‘JK is being used/abused for clout’. 

Also, no one told y’all to make assumptions about the photoshoot. If you hate shipping and ship narratives so much, then just avoid it. Who cares what jikookers/taekookers etc, are saying. Stan OT7/your bias and move on. Why do you gotta zero in on one of the members and slut shame them on the internet?! What do you even get from it? 

If you separate all the bad boy/gangster narratives from the photoshoot snippets, it’s just a fun behind the scenes video of a group of 7 guys being themselves. These boys have known each other since they were teenagers, they see and live with each other for the better part of the year, have witnessed each other’s best and worst, have been an active part of the band’s growth as a unit, and definitely know each other better than some rando who decided to open a twitter account to trend a meaningless hashtag.

Get this in your head. If Jeon Jungkook detested Park Jimin’s presence, no amount of fanservice profit would be able to force him to interact this way and to this extent with JM. Same goes for Jimin, my man doesn’t need to list out his talent to some blind haters to prove his worth. His work and talent is out there and gets appreciated by millions of people 100 times more experienced than these shitheads who can’t go one day without crying about nonsense. BTS doesn’t need clout. Their art speaks for itself. They didn’t get nominated to represent their country internationally because jikook acted hella cute in this one random interview. How many times will Taehyung have to repeat “love the 7 of us” for you to understand that OT7 is a unit? 

All the solo stans out there being toxic to the other members while thinking they’re protecting their bias are truly on something out of this world. 

Also, shipping is a personal choice and should be for fun purposes. None of us can prove anything, we can just enjoy it. Can we not add all this disgusting hate to it? 

[kkyujikoo]

Did... Did they actually bring back the hashtag? For real?

Oh god I'm so embarrassed cause I hadn't seen the video yet gkfjfkf I just realised you were talking about season greetings and not just, you know, plotting a fic ahahah sorry

Okay but like. Hear me out here.

In this universe, Bangtan are preparing for a heist. These are everyone's roles:

Yoongi sets the mood.

Hobi finds the location.

Tae reads the tarots to find out the perfect day and moment to strike.

Jin helps from the base, since he's the hacker.

Joon prepares the gadgets and potions for the thief to use.

Jimin is the thief.

Jungkook is the one that drives Jimin around.
