In regards to what the anon said I wouldn't say the colors you use for skin are extreme but Idk jimin's seems kinda unrealistic. I mean I hate white washing but of course the boys are not that white but Idk Jimin is not that dark. But other than that I love your art 💙

Thanks, again, I’ll be working harder to try and be more realistic in terms of skin tone when drawing the boys in the future. Thank you for your support. 💕

[mini-mini-doodles]

You absolutely shouldn't apologize for drawing bts characters with a darker skin tone, there's nothing wrong about it! People who complain about this are usually the ones who whitewash pictures themselves

I don’t really know what to say honestly… I’ve always tried so hard to create cartoon versions of the boys that depict the natural beautiful tones in the boys’ skins that fansites and photographers seem to neglect. But thank you for sending this to me, it gives me a bit of confidence that maybe I’m not /entirely/ in the wrong. 💕

[mini-mini-doodles]

Hey so I just logged into this account for the first time in forever.

I noticed a lot of people saying that my BTS characters looked too dark. I’ve always just googled their natural skin tones and used a colour dropper to try and emulate some natural tan, because often photos of the boys ARE whitewashed.

I sincerely apologize if I’ve offended anyone for any reason and I will strive to more accurately depict the boys in the future.

[mini-mini-doodles]

Why do you draw bts nearly black? They are tanned not black.

I googled “BTS natural skin tone” and used a colour eye dropper. Sorry, I’ll do better.

New Character Designs!/Ask Box Empty!

Not sure if you’re as excited as I am about this, but I’ve been working on this for a while and trying to sort of revamp this blog. I’ll add more as there are a few more characters who will be getting designs, such as Chanyeol, Hwasa, Namjoon’s sister, and Yoongi and Yoonji’s grandfather. Also, my ask box is empty, so maybe send me some asks, some requests, some challenges? Thanks so much for all the people who continue support me and I look forward to your feedback.

Any day I see my name on the same list as @/artofennun and @/NanoNoonie and @MissterMaia is a good day. (Even though it’s the “other” mentions category, it’s still hella cool because I haven’t posted anything significant in forever.)

Thank you!!

Yoonmin Fandom Metrics

 Last month a survey was conducted to analyze the metrics of the Yoonmin fandom. Here are some of the responses:

Of these 903 responses, 826 of them (92%) of the respondents had selected that yoonmin are their only ship, their main ship or one of their main ships. This group is the one that will be focused on for the rest of this analysis. (Also was that one person lost? Did you get home okay?)

Of this focus group who mainly ship yoonmin, the bias distribution was:

Unsurprisingly, Min Yoongi and Park Jimin, the two individuals responsible for the YOON and the MIN in yoonmin, came out as the top two biases’. 

However, Min Yoongi, with a staggering count of 453 votes (55%) heavily outweighed all the other members, hereby proving that he was in fact not fucking around when he claimed “Sorry mom, your son’s too popular,” in his Mic Drop verse. 

As a follow up to these results, respondents provided their second bias (if any) to help the other members stand a chance against Rap God Min Yoongi. 

(He still took a whopping 23% of the votes). 

The most interesting part about these graphs is that it alludes to the fact that most yoonmin stans bias Yoongi (not Jimin, although he is obviously second in rank). This is probably due to the fact that of the “popular” bangtan ships, Jimin’s name comes up multiple times. Thus Jimin stans are more evenly split in who they ship Jimin with, but there are not that many “popular” Yoongi ships.

A little more detail on the focus group and how they came to stan bts and ship yoonmin is summarized in the following graphs.

BTS’ popularity has grown exponentially, with the greatest increase seen from 2014-2015 due to the release of their HYYH series. A parallel trend was observed in this analysis with the growth of the Yoonmin Fandom.

The next part of the survey focused on “Secondary Fan Creations” as Mr. Bang likes to call them. This includes but is not limited to: fan art, fan fiction, photo edits, video edits, blog posts, memes and so forth.

The results show that 99% of us are on Tumblr for the right reasons.

In terms of creating fan content, 31% of the respondents bless us on the daily with their contributions to the fandom. (Amen.) The rest of the majority enjoys and wishes to contribute to doing the lord’s work. 2% of the respondents who consider yoonmin their main or only ship do not create or want to create fan content because they think it is wrong (and that’s okay - to each their own). 

The next question was the most revealing and one of the most important to this analysis. Of the 861 responses, 640 voted that the reason they ship yoonmin is due to their relationship / interactions themselves. Only 2-4% of the respondents said they shipped yoonmin because of how they look together/aesthetics, fan content, external influences, or the availability of yoonmin materials in the fandom itself. This outright disproves the common (and tired) anti-yoonmin stan (and “rare pair” stan) claims that yoonmin is usually shipped for these reasons.  

Of the 30 respondents that chose “other�� their reasons often eluded to specifics moments / interactions by yoonmin. Some of the more notable mentions are:

“They look like they understand each other’s struggles.“

“Their real and supportive friendship, they know each other’s limits and share their vulnerabilities, so soft for each other, involve each other in the most intimate parts of their life.”

“Everything?? Idk they just vibe with me best, they’re lovely and sift but also savage and have a really fun dynamic that i enjoy best.. they calm me when I’m upset as well which is like surprising bc I don’t calm down easily. +their soft moments like the earlier answer.” 

“Because Yoongi is so whipped for Jimin and they look at each other like they have galaxies in their eyes“ 

“They look like they are real / they act like they are married / they honestly seem like they’re in love.” 

“the way they are with each other in general. platonic or not, they love each other, care for each other a lot and it’s nice to see. “

“From what I saw, it felt very real. Like yeah, I could get that super unbreakable bond with all of the BTS ships but for some reason, Yoonmin just stuck out for me and it felt really genuine and not just for fanservice.“ 

“Just…everything” (Many of you said this or voted for multiple categories from the above so everything x 10)

“You Know” (thank you Anonymous, I do know :’). 

There were so many other great ones yoonmin is such a soft ship with even softER STANS istg but I won’t post them all here but you can see them in this supporting post.

It is commonly believed that ALL yoonmin stans only ship them because of the “typical” subby bottom jimin/ dom top yoongi stereotype. The data below proves this is untrue - as 34% of respondents don’t care at all or like all dynamics equally, and 18% prefer a more balanced switch relationship dynamic. Combined, the votes for these categories make up over 50% of the responses, signifying that, no, not all yoonmin stans, in fact not even the majority of yoonmin stans, ship them for this reason. 

It should be noted though that, of the 48% of fans who expressed a preference for a specific relationship dynamic, 5% preferred top jimin and 43% preferred top yoongi (so yeah, top yoongi is more popular, but only to the minority group of the stans who actually have a specific dynamic preference).

Similar results were observed for which dynamics yoonmin stans feel are most realistic.

FANDOM FAVOURITES

Note, I have removed the “N/A” and “All” from the rank to more accurately reflect individual favourites. Furthermore, I have removed myself from the rank to eliminate an obvious bias as it is my survey most of the people who took it would be my followers (but thank you to all the people who chose me as their fave!)

Comments: This category was added to the survery much later and therefore did not have as many responses as the others above. Nonetheless, there’s seems to a correlation between who you ship (yoonmin) and fave BTS song. Many of the songs on this list have “yoonmin parts in the MV/Choreo” like Spring Day and BST, or are song’s where the two have particularly shined and / or produced. (They might also just be on this list because they’re lit songs in which case truuuu I agree).

The year is 2999, and Humanity is on the path of self-destruction, thus, the apocalypse is upon them. Or, rather, the apocalypse was upon them and now Humanity is picking up what’s left of civilization, left with few natural resources and rather “old-fashioned” technology. The dated kind, with slight improvements to match the human intelligence that we once possessed. In a way, it’s almost seems as though mankind has reverted back to the 19th century, the era of Queen Victoria.

As well as a loss of technology, there has been a bit of an immigrant crisis, as much of the world has been destroyed and more than half is deemed inhabitable by a new United Nations.

This is the story of seven boys, not so much of their journeys to the new Habitable Regions, but of their lives as immigrants, or descendants of immigrants from Korea, in one of the remaining habitable areas: New London, England and with it their many trials. he friendship and betrayal, the love, heartbreak, and scandal, and the death and disaster and consequences of some of their foolish nature. And everything in between.

A thief, a mechanic, a killer, a liar, a skeptic, an innocent, an evil mastermind and many, many secrets.

Yoonmin Sk8ter Boi AU, hear me out…

Yoongi is a punk. Jimin does ballet. What more can I say?

He wanted him, and Jimin would never tell… secretly he wanted Yoongi as well.

But all of Jimin’s friends think Jimin is too good for Yoongi, and stick up their nose.

‘Cause they have have a problem with Yoongi’s dark baggy clothes.

Yoongi is a skater boy, and Jimin pretends like he isn’t feelin’ it, but he starts following Yoongi around and they get to know each other and start dating in private.

Eventually, Yoongi decides he can’t do it anymore, can’t be Jimin’s dirty little secret and they break up.

Yoongi moves out to LA to attend university and Jimin doesn’t know.

Then, unknowingly, Jimin applies to the same university with intentions of because a professional choreographer for Kpop groups.

And they meet again when Jimin gets invited to see an underground rap show with his best friend and roommate Tae.

And he sees some people in the crowd who used to hate on Yoongi for being a skater boy.

Anyway Yoonmin wind up meeting again.

And chaos and angst ensues because Yoongi’s got a boyfriend now (who is a total dickwad.)

But I’m a soft bean who likes happy endings so they end up getting together in the end because Yoongi realizes he loves Jimin and they become the biggest power couple in the Yoonminiverse.

181110 Yoongi the Muppeteer

I keep forgetting to upload my fanarts at Tumblr so here’s my late fanart from last week’s Run episode. Also. It’s been a while since I drew something, so yeah.

yea i’ve been losing motivation in drawing these past few days sorry bout that

[mini-mini-doodles]

I never posted this here (it’s on my OTHER art account, but what the heck) and honestly it’s one of my favourite doodles I’ve done. Based on the BTS episode where Yoonmin did the tango and I know this isn’t the tango but I love the BST concept and it made me thing of Prince Jimin and Yoongi meeting for the first time at a ball or something… I dunno where this is going, I just love fantasy/royal AUs.

[mini-mini-doodles]

yoongi!!! did u do anything to chanyeol’s flower??

Yoongi: I did nothing to them. Jimin seems to really cherish this dude and I wouldn’t wanna ruin a gift that makes him happy…

Jimin: My mother was sick and I went to stay at her and my brother’s house for a couple days to be a bit closer to her in case she needed anything. I asked Yoongi to water the plants and change the water in ALL my birthday flowers. Everything is still alive… well, almost everything. My roses are dead. He said he sucks at “plant-caring for” — that’s exactly what he called it —and said it was just unlucky and that he would buy me new ones if it really mattered all that much… it’s fine actually. I liked his bouquet better.

[mini-mini-doodles]

does yoongi ever get jealous of people hitting on jimin?

Yoongi: N-no way. We’re not dating so I don’t care what he does with his romantic life.

[mini-mini-doodles]

Alright alright alright. More TSTS fanart of the Harpy and the Fox.

If you haven’t read The Songbird and the Sea, I’ll include a link. Trust me, it’s so worth it.
