Let's talk about the AYS Trailers!
As and the songs that went with it!
The Launch Trailer
youtube
SGMB played and then SNTY finished it. Where they were talking about feeling free and wanting to go on trips and be together before enlistment. And these clips were from before they knew if they would be accepted for the buddy program or not. There was still the chance of around a 2 year separation here
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The teaser trailer
youtube
Kicks off with Who... Ends with Seven...
The main trailer
youtube
Uses neither of their solo songs and is instead using Skool Luv Affair which is just SUCH an interesting choice. It's neither of their songs, neither of their voices Singing... And it's continuing the theme of using love songs for the lyrics in the background lol it's Hobis and RMs verse that play in this trailer
Off and On
youtube
Off, be yourself time - with jungkook
On - performance mode
youtube
Off, be yourself time - with Jimin
On - performance mode
D3 USA
youtube
SNTY again
D2 Jeju trailer
youtube
SGMB again
D1 Sapporo
youtube
Who, except it's the bridge where it just repeats over and over "who is my heart Waiting for" over Jikook clips and is not helping my delusions any, thanks BH
And Disney+JP on twt
Tumblr media
Back to Seven lol

Can you rec a jikook fic?? You seem to have taste
yass!
5k abo, soft, male feminist alpha jungkook and cynical omega jimin iktr
5k gcft inspired, an underrated GEM pls read this one
10k established relationship, for all the 'jungkook is not affectionate' believers
47k fwb, luv this writer and luv this angst
18k LUV this 'straight' jungkook ANGSTTT
i havent reread this 73k established fluff since 2016 but it was quite impactful on me so it's probably worth a read
these two are also both long asf and canon verse-ish, i kinda forgot them but they're probably good asf since they're in my bookmarks
16k canon verse abo told through social media posts??? LMFAOOOO ok i kinda cringed all the way through reading this but it also lives rent free in my mind so you might like it. i literally cried thinking about the oppression omega jimin faced in the workforce
anddd this one ;)
if you want more you need to be more specific about what you like. fic is such a vast concept but i think i covered most bases here. except porn, I'd need to do a separate list for porn

Hi! I love your blog and what you say, I had read so much of your answers to anons, so, what are in your op the reasons why jikook are probably dating - what made you believe in them? And in your op after the military service will they be even more braver in showing their affection? (P.s sorry if I made errors eng is not my first language sorry sorry)
I am African. English isn't my first or 2nd language so u get no judgement from me. 😁
Okay story time
I first discovered BTS in 2015. I was just perusing on YT when I came across Boy in luv and I thought RM was so fucking hot. I’m a sucker for a goodlooking man (who isn’t?) And Boy in luv RM was fire to me 😂😂
Tumblr media
i tell that to my Jikook friends and they keep laughing at me but at the time he was, okay? I can hear you laughing. Shut up! He owned that song
Tumblr media
He was hot. Leave me alone 😒
And I am obsessed with this hairstyle so there’s also that. (When Jikook had this undercut 🤤) Also I am again obsessed with dimples. My fiance, it’s his dimples that attracted me to him. I kid u not. He he hee...
Anyhu, BIL RM was hot to young me and so I was watching that MV like daily. Then YT recommended BST and I  thought Jimin was pretty but I didn’t really stick around much. I just downloaded BIL and went about my life. Then last year I was on my Tiktok and BTS were at an award show and I saw who I now know is V vibing to Idol in his chair. And I was like; I know them. I wonder how Mr. Dimples is doing 🤭
I also really liked that song because it sounded kinda African and I immediately latched onto the Nikki remix coz I’m a big fan. So I watched Idol and a few other songs and that’s all she wrote.
Now I’m on tumblr answering asks about Jikook.
Tumblr media
He he hee... Like afore mentioned i am African and we are super homophobic. A man can marry 16 wives and that’s okay but God forbid two men of the same age date only eo. A person can be a serial killer but oh well, at least he wasn’t gay!
So, much like society, my mind is programmed to think everyone is straight unless they say otherwise. So I did not think that any member of BTS could be gay. Like at all. And when I got into them properly, I binged run bts, bon voyage and ITS and still saw nothing.
1) I was working with the mentality that they are all straight.
2)I am reading subtitles and trying to look at the one who is speaking. Aint no way I will notice shenanigans happening with other members that I’m not focused on.
Once I was done with their content I started watching compilations, and funny moments, etc. Mind you by this point I have forgotten about RM. Like I mentioned before I am a sucker for pretty men and Jimin is very pretty. Like abnormally pretty. Like, this motherfucker was glowing in a damn crowd how is this normal???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't think the fallen angel thing is a joke y'all. This man ain't normal 👀
RM may have brought me to BTS but it didn’t take long for the Jimin effect to hit me. So I was paying alot of attention to him. Which means when I didn’t have anymore official content to consume, (unbeknownst to me i had merely scratched the surface) I started looking for Jimin shit. And what happens when u stalk a specific member? Within no time u get a ship video. And that’s how I came across Yoonmin and boom! I was a Yoonminer. But I wouldn’t say I was that faithful to the ship because have you watched Jihope sexual tension videos? I’m sorry but they are 🔥🔥 completely out of context but still very well done. Also Jihope used to be the kings of fanservice so there is plenty of content.
I watched all Jimin ships and YouTube never once recommended me Jikook. Which is really weird. But then one day I saw “Jikook analysis" and it was by Mizgator and we all know how good and thorough she is. At first I was like; now what is a Jikook and why an analysis? But then Jimin was on the thumbnail so of course I clicked.
Mizgator made me believe in Jikook. I binge watched all her stuff and I couldn’t believe my eyes. And it was all so juicy and interesting I couldn’t stop. After I was done with her I looked for more and more and more until I had seen all Jikook analyses You tube had to show me.
That’s when I rewatched ITS and Bon Voyage with the eyes of a shipper and it was all there. I felt so dumb like; how did I not see it before?!
So sometimes I understand these antis and ot7 assholes. Because if you’re not looking for it, u certainly will not see it.
And its krazy because Jikook are like right in your face. The satellite/teleport thing is not even subtle. From both of them, not just JK.
Anyway, I joined a discord with like minded people who continued to point out things all the analyses I had watched didn’t pick up on. And I started noticing things too when rewatching everything. Its fun to rewatch stuff with a Jikook lense because they really are obvious guys. Its fascinating.
Anyway, all this is to say I am not like other people who say the following moments opened their eyes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My eyes saw, but in my head they were straight so it was all nothing. Until I met Mizgator and my life has never been the same.
So,
What made you believe in them?
Mizgator
In your op after military service will they be even more braver in showing their affection?
Yes. I mention that here. And here. And then talk in depth (ish) about it here
What are in your op the reasons why Jikook are probably dating?
Anon this is a loaded question because it’s everything. Its the exclusive stuff they only do to/for eo. Its the 18+ moments. I mean especially the 18+ moments that have no hetero explanation whatsoever. It’s when Kjikookers tell us they defy what is usually the norm, culturally. It's how members react when they're Jikooking. It’s everything. Sometimes its hard to explain to an anti that we don’t believe in Jikook because of just one moment but because of so many things that when accumulated add to one big, humongous undeniable picture. U know?
Damn, this was a long answer but I hope you got what u came 4. Bless 🥰

Preference is the Fruit of Love
 So as Jikookers we all know one thing to be true! Jikook gravitate towards one another, often showing a very clear preference for each others company over others. This preference is made more obvious when members are around because it is in these moments that we see them form this almost exclusive impenetrable bubble around themselves creating an “Us” and “Them” environment.  While unintentional, it nevertheless happens. 
One of the best examples of this the 2019 Boys with Luv Comeback Special filmed in NYC. Before I get into my opinions of this moment, I want you to watch the moment I am speaking about. It starts at 5:03 and ends at 7:01 (P.S. I chose this video because it clips out the parts I am talking about).
youtube
Now this moment starts off with Jikook being separated. Jk is seated with Jin and RM, while Jm is seated with Tae and Hobi. They don’t look unhappy separated they are laughing and goofing around, mostly JK poking fun of JM’s origin story. 
Tumblr media
However, when teams are decided JK becomes incredibly happy. He’s super giddy to change teams. One can say it’s because he also is happy about being on a team with the entire Maknae line but the proof of why he’s really happy is what he does when switches sides. He walks over smiling at JM and then proceeds to tap JM’s shoulders with his paper.
Tumblr media
JK is happy to be on a team with JM. Which is funny seeing that JM is notorious for losing games, while JK is the Golden Maknae who enjoys winning. That aside...JK is happy to be on the same team as JM. And JM is clearly happy to be on the same team as JK seeing as his whole body language shifts and his attention turns away from Tae and the rest of the group to 100% JK. Not 50% or 80%...100%.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jikook spend the entire game in their own little bubble, sadly leaving Tae out the entire time. They don’t consult him about answers, they spend the game whispering to each other and acting as though the team is just them! I mean look at  the distance they’ve created between themselves and Tae, and look at Tae’s expression. He looks bored and not happy because he’s being left out. Even the editors noted it with the “Guys, please play with V.” I genuinely don’t think Tae likes being paired with Jikook for games because this happens. You put them together they enter their own world. I am almost certain Jimin said as much on a live once. He said something along the lines of “I would call JK but when we are together we become laser focused and forget to communicate with Army.” And we see that very statement come to life all the times when they are together. 
Tumblr media
Above is another example of them forgetting others exist. You might think they are alone but spot the broad shoulders peaking from behind Jimin and you’ll find RM. The entire time he’s paired with them it’s like he doesn’t exist. 
Or...what about the time they invited Hobi to join them to practice Busan Dialect with them and then forgot they invited him. Or the time they were live as a group and Tae had to separate them.
Tumblr media
This is a habit they have that is not exclusive to one member. i do think it bothers Tae and Rm the most but still they do it to all members. The Boys with Love Comeback Special shows it the best to me though...because from the get go JK showed how happy he was to be sitting with JM and JM alone, and JM showed his happiness by closing any and all distance between them. Also sadly, Tae’s displeasure makes it very obvious. 
I’ve honestly never seen two people so naturally create a sort of force field around them the way Jikook do. If you let them get in their zone it’s hard to break them out of it, and from what I gather members rarely try to. They just let them do their thing. In all the behind the scenes moments, rehearsal moments what do we see? We see Jikook goofing off while members don’t bother/willfully ignore them. They don’t ask many questions, they do occasionally give them a death glare (tried to find a clearer shot but trust me Hobi is glaring hard at them) but mostly they leave them be because it becomes more awkward when you break them up.

Do you ever melt at the way Jimin and Jungkook treat each other with all this tenderness?
Yes, they tease each other all the time. But then they're just all sweet and soft and supportive?
BTS are the best people, and I would love to have such greatness and humanity in my personal relationships. And maybe one day I'll find someone who treats me with love the way Jimin and Jungkook do.
What's the softest Jikook moment you can think of?
For me it's them cuddling (with Hobi, our sunshine) when they filmed for the summer package in that hanok (?). With JK as the little spoon, being all smol in JMs...muscular arms. What was I talking about?
Or maybe the Magic Shop Muster during Boy with Luv where JK couldn't handle JM being the most adorable bean in existence.
I love them, your honor.
I love your asks🥹you're so right!
this jikook moment is also so soft and similar to the other time we saw them cuddling:

This is dedicated to some sweet Jimin Vocals 🎤🎵
A highlight of snippets of Jimin vocals that live rent-free in my mind.
***Side note: I know I keep posting about Jimin. I told you before I refuse to leave Jiminland for now. I know JK is preparing for his album. But Jimin already wrecked me and I know JK is going to ruin me. Jikook is going for the good ol’ 1, 2 punch. TKO. && I want it. I’m here for it. But I’m not ready for it.
Alright, let’s get this ish. Go Go Go! 👇🏽
Home
This song is my jam. It may actually be my favorite BTS song. I wish wish wish in the recorded version you could hear the part I want to highlight better, but it just doesn’t do it justice. So I frequently watch the Jimmy Fallon performance to get my fix. I will never get over how Jimin sounds here. Nevvvver.

Is it just me or does Jimin sounds like Michael Jackson here?? Like his voice is so versatile it’s unbelievable.

This song is a banger. Every time I listen to it, I remember RM talking about how Jimin’s voice has this edge to it.

***Side note: Jimin with long fluffy hair is a must. Like he whips that hair around when he’s dancing and its just…..😵
Like Crazy - English Intro
I typically prefer Korean versions of songs just because I love the way the language sounds. The english version of Like Crazy was so well done AND the intro vocals just hit different. It sounds higher, angelic, and sexier than the Korean version and it gets me every time.

Boy with Luv - TMA
This ad-lib. Period.

Last but not least, the ever-sexy: Filter. I love Jimin’s background vocals that fill up this song and literally consumes me. I want to drown in his vocals yall.

There are so many more to highlight but these are the ones always popping up in my mind. 
I would love to hear about anyone else's fav Jimin vocal highlights.
I will do one for JK in the future probably after his album drops. If I make it through the album. 😵

Jikook Week 22 Complete ✔️(07 - 14/05/2024)
Tumblr media
Their twenty second week in the military is now complete and time to celebrate this milestone with a look back at this week in 2014. Skool Luv Affair come out in February 2014 and promos for Boy in Luv and then Just One Day had taken place between February and April 2014.
youtube
This week in May 2014, the Skool Luv Affair Special Addition was released.
Tumblr media
BTS members though were between promotions and with plenty of free time on their hands. This was the era of the Jikook vlogs and they came live the night of 14/15th May to tell us about how they had been spending their downtime including a whole lot of dance practice and an all member trip to the Han River.
youtube
They even saw a movie together and something about it had Jimin all giggly and embarrassed. Did we ever find out what they watched?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jimin was in his, I don't know what hit me phase, obviously wrestling with his feelings but not ready or able to put a name to them. He is so transparent and sincere, putting himself right out there without a safety net on a live broadcast.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
That kind of honesty is nerve wracking to watch. I doesn't matter how many times I see this, I always find myself holding my breath, only releasing it when the conversation moves into safer waters with JK talking about his prowess at skimming stones on the Han River.
Also this week, photos from their last promo stage in March 2014 were released.......
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
.....as well as photos from the V Chart Awards held in Beijing, China on 15/04/2014 where BTS won the Rookie Award.

Hi Stormblessed (dope name btw),
Don't know if this is the best place for this essay or the right time but I need to word-vomit this out, or I'm gonna be a JK-style spaced out zombie all day.
It's a truth universally acknowledged that a big part of the fandom tends to mis-characterize the members based on edits, fanfics and out-of-context clips. Something probably mostly to do with how social media platforms have been pushing for these short videos over the last few years. Why watch 300 hours of original content (some of which is behind a paywall) if you can get the gist of it (you think) from TikToks?
My particular point has to do with how that allows for the narrative (aka made up shit) especially around Jimin to grow. All of the members get that treatment, the maknaes worse due to their popularity, but due to how a big part of Army are also tkk shippers, Jimin is the one who's portrayal often skews more negative. The others' perceptions just are neutral or fantastical in a sense that they're more like badly written male leads. Don't get me wrong, solos throwing around bs is nothing singular to him but no one gets accused (said completely seriously btw) of sleeping his way into BTS or the release of his album.
After I saw this vitriol for the first time I had to actually sit down because wtf.
And then I started wondering why that is, and came to the conclusion that it is:
(Internalized) misogyny and sexism
Blatant homophobia
Jimin is the member the most obviously in tune of his femininity. He hasn't subscribed to gender norms for a decade at least, and once his hyper-masculine-esque persona from the debut days was dismissed, he ventured further. (That isn't to dismiss the growth they all have shown in that area.)
But antis, akgaes, Solos and shippers take that femininity and apply every stereotype and misogynistic idea to JM.
Traits they f.e. hate:
He is openly flirty with many people (members especially)
He is very physical, and touch is arguably one of his love languages and go-to way of comforting smn
He is pretty af and knows it
He's sensual and sexy and knows it
He's cute
He's sweet (aka a good fucking human)
But why does that make "them" hate him so much?
Because they have been taught that these traits in women (like themselves) are bad. What makes it worse, however, is that the men around JM all know these things to be true, acknowledge them as true and compliment him on them. In the case of JK (since this is about Jikook at the end of the day):
He loves flirty JM despite sometimes not knowing how to handle him (ehem the 'shameless convo'). He flirts back (fe the whole live where he was in bed begging for JM to come over)
Tkkers and such love pulling the "JK hates it" card. Which is nonsense, considering how he seeks JM's comfort when he's down (esp during concerts), actively cuddles JM (In The Soop) and never uses all his big muscles to shove JM but rather to just carry him around. Compare that to the jokingly disgusted face Yoongi pulls when Tae tries to hold his hand, and it becomes glaringly obvious that no one who says the members dislike touching each other has a leg to stand on. Calling it harassment goes so far beyond any line of sanity...
JK - like all of BTS - acknowledges that Jimin's beauty is simply out of this world. They are regularly stunned by his appearance
Just gonna point to JK's reaction to Filter, Blood Sweat & Tears, Black Swan, and Set Me Free pt 2 here. JK calls JM sexy so often it's hilarious
* inserts clip of absolutely WHIPPED JK after JM cutely punches him during that performance of Boy With Luv *. Also we know that "cute" his JK's type as he himself admitted.
Jimin has been Jungkook's comfort person for so long, and with such depth that he dedicated a whole trip and video to him. They care for each other so deeply that the only logical conclusion was to go to the military together.
Aka: he is all that they hate in the girls/women in their normal life so they can't do nothing but tear him down. They envy how comfortable he seems in his own skin, how easily he goes from sexy to cute, how loved he is by those around him. On top of that is how gay people are still perceived and treated by a lot of countries around the world. No matter what they say, being an army and shipping men doesn't make you automatically an ally and non-homophobic.
They treat Jimin like they would most likely treat the lgtbqia+ people in real life: something to be careful of, someone dishonest and slutty.
They conflate everything they hate about themselves and gay people and * boom * out come frankly terrifying tweets, fanfics and shit.
Contrast that with how these very same people fetishize the relationship between Tae and Jungkook - either viewing them like men who watch p_rn involving two women, or a self-insert with how little character they have - and that's the state of the army shipping community. They could be Barbie dolls getting smashed together and you wouldn't know the difference.
I'm not saying Jikookers are better in that, but the language they tend to use is incredibly different.

That was a lot.
To end on a sweet note: I saw a quote on Twitter "If you want to find out what someone fears losing, look at what they photograph."
And...well. that just screams Jikook
Hi! Thank you, I like my name too 🥰
And yeah, basically I agree. I think there is more to it as well, but that a lot of it could be boiled down to all this. And yeah, jikookers are just as guilty of this too, but not always in the same way. Sometimes in a way that is more fetishizing but is just as harmful. Take it from someone who has seen it all in my inbox from people who feel safe on anon 😂😂
Thanks for sharing! And your quote at the end is SOOOOO cute!
