#Taekook is not real

[mrs-monaghan]

there’s so much misinfo going round atm, see lots of people saying that after jk enlists with jm and does the boot camp he can apply for some special ???something and will leave separately where he is stationed or that just because jk / jm are enlisting on same day, they only will do basic training together then go to separate places ? and that they only chose the enlisting together option because it meant they could make sure they were out in time for june ?

ik it’s a bit hard to follow maybe with different sources and not real confirmation but do you know if any of it is true? my understanding was that they did the “enlisting together” scheme thing, (ie. it’s a purposeful application, they knew they were choosing this way) which meant they’ll at least be in same living quarters etc the whole time until they’re out ?

sorry for long Q! it’s ok if you dk it was just confusing D; thank you!

Hi anon. 😳 I am terrible when it comes to the serious stuff and have the attention span of a toddler when such topics arise. My mind registers them as boring and so I don't retain the in4. But my friends delved deep into this so I will gather as much as I can and do my best to explain the sitch

Let me start by correcting the biggest misinformation of them all. Thanks to fucking Mina with her fake subs and reaching conclusions, the vermin are confusing "Special Task Force" with "Special Forces"

JK said he wanted to join special forces. Well and good

But thats not what V is doing. V applied for Special Task Force which, while not easy (he said in the live its why he enlisted there, to challenge himself) its nothing compared to special forces. Special forces is HARD CORE. Its no joke. It's for those who actually want to go to war and proper fight for their country. Not for those fulfilling a mandatory duty... One they wouldn't do if they had the choice. Special forces, those people actually wanna be there. And if u know JK then u shouldn't be surprised that he would say something like this. Of course our dare devil bunny would enjoy joining something as risky as special forces.

But guess what? No one stopped him. He still could have gone there if he really wanted to. Just like in Winter package. No one told him to give up zip lining for beer tasting. He did that off his own volition since Jimin was going beer tasting. JK's happiness is where Jimin is. Period. (Suga's presence played a big part but we don't talk about Yoonmin)

(Edit: the whole thing takes almost 8 years to complete which again, is not something JK would actually do if he wanted to still stay a member of BTS. And of course satellite Jeon would again, never do it)

Jikook wanted to use the buddy system and they applied where Jin is on purpose because since the location is so risky, (front lines) not alot of people apply to serve there. So the chances of them being accepted were pretty high. I already talked a bit about that here.

Coldest and most dangerous. But before we panic, Jikook love snow so... thats good. But also;

2 things to note before we continue; 1) Tattoos are a none factor on why Jikook applied together or why JK couldn't be with V. They had 0 to do with that. And 2) All members and where they ended up it was their decision

So, here is a Korean explaining

They shall not be separated. They will train together and continue to serve together

One body. Shiet.

Nice. Even the breaks they will take together. Basically spend every minute together for those 18 months y'all.

They had to pass 3 rounds. Applying wasn't all. They had rounds to pass before getting accepted. So as we can see this was a whole ass process. They really worked hard on this to make it happen.

Apparently there is a show you can watch that explains the buddy system. Its 8 episodes, its called real man

The holding hands thing is legit 🤣🤣🤣

Jikook shouldn't have an issue then 🤭

Anon, people are in denial and the other half are trying to explain this away. If Jikook only went in together just so they could come out at the same time then they could have done what Vmon did. Apply separately at the same time.

This is one tough pill to swallow for antis. It's like the biggest fuck u Jikook could have ever done but at the same time I really don't think they factored anyone else but themselves when they made this decision.

18 months is no small amount of time so let's call a spade a spade; Jikook couldn't be apart that long. Fax 💯 JK wanted to be there for Jimin, Jimin wanted to be there for JK, of course. Them in the same place looking out for each other is all I as a fan who loves them can ask for. But at the same time, they needed this.

Anon, they will be together 24/7 for the entire duration of their time there.

Yes. Sleeping in the same quarters. It wouldn't make sense for companionship if they were separating the recruits who applied together. To be companions. Of each other.

The buddy system is there to help friends cope with this difficult mandatory thing that the government insists on doing to their young men. It's there to help them cope in any way possible. I imagine mostly mentally. So why would they train them together then separate them? ❓❓❓

It is said that you should make sure the person you apply with, is a person u get along with super well because for the next 18 months you will be together every moment of everyday. It's krazy to imagine that JK wouldn't rather do this with his actual boyfriend V, instead. Krazy. 🤯

Anygays, no need to worry my good people, Jimin and JK have got each other's back. All that's left is to wait for them and pray for them. May they always hold hands 🤭

Tihihihihihihi

[mrspark7777777]

You don't laughing JK shut down taekookers lmao. As if he didn't said I don't keep in touch with ALL members, he didn't met up with Jimin, he said out JEON JIMIN which literally established them as brothers. We don't need the vlive validation where two members who don't even meet up each other chats on weverse from two different places because whenever we see them Tkk are together and hanging out often. JK traveling with tae, jk gaming with tae, jk going out with tae's friends, jk and tae going shopping and the biggest of all, JUST AFTER HE 'ENDED SHIPPERS' TAEKOOK ARE TOGETHER RN AT INGIKAYO DANCING TOGETHER. if anyone got shut down today it's Jikookers lmao because even if JK said he don't know where tae is he was literally back stage with him ready to dance with him on stage. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"I don't keep in touch with ALL members."

So this is a gloating point now?? 😂 you realise it also reads 'he only keeps up with some of the members'? And even if that wasn't the case celebrating that sentence makes u dumb AF because the all also incudes V. You get that, right?

This whole ask is about comparing Jikook with Vkook which i find so pointless. This is the issue with u cult members u can never celebrate your moments without bringing Jkkrs into it. If your ship so real why do u always feel the need to compare?

I mean, I can do the same thing too, you know? Like I can share JK with Jimin comments

And his face with that one question about V today

I can also tell u right now, for free that if that same question was about Jimin he wouldn't have made that face. And no, its not because he hates V. Its just the way he reacts to certain stuff about Jimin; positively. He always has. To him the idea of living with another member who's not Jimin is weird. Those are just the facts.

Idk why u came here anon but you are not a threat to us. You're really not. And as long as V continues to fuck Jennie you will never be a threat. Sorry not sorry.

No, JK would never read Jeon Kim outloud.

It's not the first time and won't be the last time he's been annoyed by the vermin in the comment section. Y'all made him ask u to stop mentioning other members. Only for him to call our username "Jeon Jimin" not long after 🤭🤭

Fam, Taekook real?

[mariajmajesty]

Tkkrs calling the military (!!!) fanservice to explain why Jungook enlisting to that program with Jimin "has to be forced and not his own choice" is next level insane (as if he didn't have months to prepare and had other options, as if he didn't have other camps to go to yet chose to go to the same one Jimin goes to) and is something I never imagined I'll see at this stage. They don't care about Tae, Jimin or Jungkook they only care about themselves and their selfish demands and i'm shocked how hurting the members with this type of talk is something they couldn't give a damn about. And it's extra laughable because who does fanservice in the military? who can force a government into something as pathetic as this? it's not even a thing.

Death threats over a trip to Japan.. trying to jail someone for daring to go to a military program with someone he cares about and a close friend..Enough is enough

It's very sad that in the last weeks with the four of them people are still trying to manipulate and twist facts so they can sleep better at night without caring about their faves choices. Using their military service to attack their own decisions and friendships is a new low.

3D, Seven, and Jks Image

After 3D and the alleged video of Jungkook and his girlfriend I truly have realized how nasty some of this fan base is when one of the members isn’t fitting into the idea ppl have constructed for them.

This is your friendly reminder that you DON’T know Jungkook. You don’t know his sexuality you don’t know what he’s like in person you don’t know his relationship status. We only see what we’re given and whether you want to accept it or not what we’re given is a partially constructed image. I’ve seen so much screaming and whining about how 3D and seven are too “straight” or sexual for him and aren’t who he is and are ruining his image.

Like?? He has literally said in his own words he HIMSELF is trying to move away from the cute maknae image and be taken more seriously as a mature adult. Why are y’all acting like he can’t have multiple aspects to his identity as a person and an artist? Singing about women doesn’t make him a bad person or suddenly a completely different Jungkook. But some of you are delusional and put so much stake in him being in a relationship with one of his bandmates that you can’t even be happy for him if his music has pronouns that you don’t like. At that point you don’t support him you support the idea of him you’ve created in your head that’s attached to a fantasy. He’s not “queer bating” when he’s touchy with Jimin or Taehyung, he loves them. Him constantly bringing up Jimin means they’re close of course but it never necessarily meant it was romantic. It’s such an insult to their friendships to degrade Jungkook like that and act like those boys don’t love each other with their entire heart. They mean everything to each other and you can’t even find joy in that because it’s not how you envisioned the lives of people you don’t KNOW????

I’d also like to add that even if he is bi or has had relationships with men, etc. (not saying that he has just a hypothetical), using female pronouns doesn’t negate that??? He is a KOREAN artist, he cannot just suddenly start singing about men and not experience cultural backlash. Why would he want to put himself in that position during the peak of his solo career? He didn’t write these songs either so if they were handed to him with female pronouns what reason would he have to change it? I beg for some ppl to just use the tiniest bit of logic before speaking because some of y’all are grown ADULTS that are throwing full on fits and it is so embarrassing to witness. You are entitled to your opinion on his music and if you don’t like it that’s okay! But dragging his personal character into it is so gross and delusional, especially when it’s revolving around hearsay.

At the end of the day if Jungkook is happy and has not OBJECTIVELY done anything bad then you should be happy for him too! I’m so serious when I say some ppl in this fan base need to transfer this energy into BLs or something that doesn’t involve real people. He has expressed how he is tired of being infantilized, this man is 26 years old, and you think he’s being “corrupted” somehow. Jungkook is not your queer icon or your little baby or the raunchy bad boy, he’s just Jungkook the individual. There have been plenty of valid criticisms I have heard regarding 3D but all this nonsense is not apart of it. If you don’t like him as he is then I sincerely hope you do leave because no one deserves fans like that, especially not someone like Jungkook who dedicates his time to showing how much he truly loves and appreciates army.

Is this a dream?~~ 😴💭🌕💜💜💜🐰🐯

[taehyungfirst]

Let’s talk.

Unfortunately, since that 10 minutes live happened, I saw a lot of people on here accusing Taehyung of being an attention seeker. What I fail to understand is WHY and HOW he is considered one. Let’s dissect it in an objective way, mh? (By objective I mean like a human being who lives in a society and knows what is it like to have a friend).

How is Tae attention seeking for mentioning his bandmate, a friend of 10 years? And why is only Tae on the receiving end of this narrative? I’m sure lots of you saw those edits where JK says “taehyungie hyung” like 10 times in ONE live. And what about Jimin? He sure talks a lot about Yoongi AND Jk. And what about Yoongi? He apparently can’t go one Suchwita episode without mentioning Jungkook. So what I’m asking is, why this narrative is only pushed on Taehyung? I’m gonna give you an answer too, don’t worry.

It’s because you think he’s an enemy for your ship, it’s because shipper narratives rotted your brain so much that you over analyze and point fingers at Tae because you see him as someone who stays in the middle of your ship. You go as far as calling him liar, attention seeker, for mentioning a member when ALL of them do the same all the time, and the times the other members namedrops him is way MORE than the times Tae mentions someone else, so what I’m asking you today is to do some introspection and maybe realize that you don’t like Taehyung that much if every time he moves you find ways to make him an enemy and a villain.

And beside, wouldn’t it be better finally admitting it to yourself instead of hiding behind a “I like all of BTS members BUT…”?

Hypocrisy towards jikook's bond

Whenever i see ppl getting mad at this moment saying "of course jm will do that because cam are filming" but when i tell you that they were drunk at night, jk picked jm bridal style the exact way like this video then he left a mark on jk's neck after biting him cause jk wouldn't put him down lol. the difference between their off cam nd on cam moments is their off cam goes more wild than on cam it seems lol. like that's literally what they do off cam so why would it be anything different if the cam filmed them??

Mind you the SS in this tweet had 2k+ likes....where they're clearly shading jikook

Then this moment....saw antis loosing their shit saying "of course even their workout is for cam nd fanservice" but if i tell u that jm and jk told us they have been working out together, taking walks together, jk visiting jm's room 3 times a day for hrs all happened off cam then what? if out of 10 days being together and working out the comapny filmed one day how is that fake or for cam??

Jin called jk jm's cook years ago which means he cooks for jm nd has been for yrs so how is one time the comp showing it turns into fake?

Then saw this post where the implication is that jm and jk would never be loud about eachother if they were dating in a homophobic country cause it means seeking attention but all this showed me is people are simply mad that jm and jk are loud for eachother. cause i do remember tkkrs saying jk not going live when tae's album dropped means the biggest form of support and they dragged jk watching jm's content on his TV as company forced things idk how that is 😶 saying gcft wouldn't have been uploaded when it was jk's choice to upload it and comapny let him do what he wants cause either way later his hobby was used for company content too. Using gcft as an example yet religiously waiting for gcf Taekook and hoping it would happen soon. Years of them using the namsan taekook hangout pic showing jk's cam claiming the company didn't let him upload it when he never said he made one in the first place?? He carried the same cam when he went to hiking with jin but there's no gcf (although i cam across the same narrative as tkkrs from jinkookers too), Then he carried the cam with him when he was having outing with hobi too (i got pic limits or else would have uploaded the pic) but i also didn't see any gcf?? point to make here is just because he's carrying a cam doens't always means he's making a gcf. He loves filming has been filming jm too for years to the point the staff themselves ask him why he's always filming jm and the staff who works for BTS telling how jm and jk are always together and they both take pictures or selfies together alot. Then jk himself saying the last thing he filmed in his phone is "jiminsii being happy" when asked what's the last thing he filmed, but all this doens't always mean he's gonna make it or convert it into a gcf. Wanting your fav focused gcf is not the problem here it's cute with but then having the audacity to claim gcf is some comapny content when the whole video has been filmed, edited and uploaded by jk. Even the staffs, members, jimin himself didn't know he was going to make something like that cause it was his first ever gcf (made on a trip he planned when they were going through difficult times), he was happy, must have paid for the copyright of the song used, the only video he said wasn't work like other gcfs (doens't take away his admiration for his members or his hardwork of course), the only gcf that wasn't linked to other officials company sns accounts.

Then for years they been crying calling every jikook interaction that is filmed by comapny as fanservice or fake yet they were celebrating the same comapny content cause it had tk clip.

They say that the company is making money out of jikook by feeding jikook content yet they say that they get taekook content in paid comapny content lol the contrast. Do check the video I'll link below so you can see how many times they said that they get the taekook content in paid comapny content yet use it as a drag when it's jkk in DVDs, cancelling dvds.

Trying to make the comapny villain where it doens't concern when that's literally how the company has been posting every members' visit to other members. they post it days later in bangtab bomb or promotion videos. but they were also calling jk's visit to jm's practice as company content yet yesterday it was sign or pure love.

They were saying they don't believe media cause they make clickbait posts when someone uses jkk # for their arrival or departure yet proudly flaunt when dispatch used taekook #. They believe dispatch is hinting them for their ship mind u the same media which makes ckickbait posts but will surely ignore the same dispatch asking people what they think of v and Jennie's relationship or the same dispatch reporting on tae and Jennie breaking up lol.

Taekookers and their narratives chages purely based on what's benefitting them. this whole comapny promoting jikook wouldn't have existed in the first place if it was taekookers getting more content of taekook than jikook. not the company's fault of these two are together most of the times. The company doens't just cut taekook moments but every Single memebr's cause you don't expect them to post everything of everyone right?

years of them begging taekook to enlist together and now it's "gay couple won't enlist together in homophobic country" only because it's jm and jk. Were happy getting every update of jk from taehyung but if it's jm who's giving then he's leeching off.

They should have understood one thing that no matter how many times they try to drag jm and jk's bond they ain't giving shit and will do what they want. just like nothing stopped them from enlisting together doens't matter who's mailing ministry.

GOT THIS ONE OUTTA INCOMPLETE DRAFTS HERE WE GO

Disclaimer: I was admittedly on heavy drugs whatever this day was, probably. WHATEVER IT MADE ME GIGGLE and then it made Kev and X also giggle SO HERE WE ARE anyway THE FOLLOWING WAS WRITTEN IDK AWHILE AGO: Because okay he and Polyc know each other, they travel in similar circles, you didn’t hear it from me. Keep it kosher in the back all right ANYWAY

Well shit. I need a drink and I am a sober girl but there may be legal drugs involved LETS GET IT

Polyc liked a fan art. A very nice innocuous Taekook centric fan art ft. a not bad drawing of himself.

That was fine but then THE TAEKOOKERS HAPPENED.

So our favorite tattoo artist made some calls. To people. I will allow you to use your brains as to the people in question.

And then he went “well shit”

And ... you know your friends are TOO DAMN FAMOUS when you can't even see an adorable cartoon and appreciate it, is all I'm saying. SO I GO "About that Tae tattoo" and HE GOES "Man ain't gonna get one right now," AND I GO "But WAIT I thought it was a 7 not a 6 WHAT THE HELL" and HE GOES: "Listen. You didn't hear it here, but your boy has a girlfriend. He is not out here getting ink that she isn't in the mood for, okay. He's busy. He says he'll consider getting it before Busan but it might not happen, I wouldn't be looking for that right now. It's not like he and Jungkook even hang out except at work."

SO I GO "Well where the hell is Yoongi's then?" AND THIS BITCH GOES PERFECTLY SERIOUS AND SAYS "I'm not gonna tell you until he shows it off his own self" I HATE HIM SO MUCH I CAN'T EVEN but hey I guess Jimin has spinal moons plural and yes it's a sun that's all I can say before the meds wear off

[peachjagiya]

No matter where you stand on T4ennie, you gotta admit a lot of the discourse around it is MIGHTY biphobic.

Especially if you're a jkkr using it to prove Tae is straight to debunk Taekook. Please if you're going to actively support a queer ship, put this allyship into action across the board.

Bisexuals exist.

[irishhorse-blog]

"jikook can't be a couple because they behave too much like one, when they're supposed to be hiding" no they're not??? they aren't obligated to hide, and they aren't behaving too much like a couple, they're doing just enough to insinuate that they are without explicitly saying it.

"we don't see taekook acting like a couple bc they keep that behaviour for when there's no cameras" and how would YOU know? are you a fly on the walls of their houses?? tkkrs reasons to ship tk is based on assumptions that there's more to them happening beyond what they let us see. while our reasons to ship jikook is that they actually behave like a couple without explicitly saying it, which leaves room for deniability, that tkkrs love to take advantage of.

jikook are being themselves and it's up to each individual to choose if they wanna see things for how they are or if they're gonna deny it to hell and make 162837292 theories that debunks jikook's bond and the way it looks.

tkkrs think it makes more sense to tell someone "i know jikook act like a couple, but let me tell you 100 theories that explain why they aren't one" and "ik taekook seem more tame and never do anything that shows they're a couple, but let me tell you 100 theories explaining why their seemingly platonic skinship is actually more than that but they're just hiding it. i have no actual proof that they do more behind the scenes but dude trust me"

one gotta make up a thousand theories to make taekook make sense when jikook makes sense just upon initial observation. you watch any jikook compilation and you'll find the editors (for the most part) not interfering with the moment and just letting you see it for how it is, and it always MAKES SENSE, for those who aren't willfully blind of course.

while watching any taekook compilation will give you moments that never stand out as something suspicious or beyond friendship levels, but the editors always gotta put in their two cents on what they BELIEVE is going on at that moment, treating it as a fact and acting like they're inside taekook's heads.

you got jkkrs stating how jk sucked jm's ear while tkkrs theorize on why it's normal between friends. you got jkkrs stating that jm gave jk a hickey while tkkrs theorize on how it wasn't actually jimin who did it. you got jkkrs stating how jk edits his GCFs in a way that highlights jimin, especially during certain lyrics or filters, while tkkrs downplay jk's intelligence in effort to debunk any special meanings related to jm. you got jkkrs stating how jk gives jm special treatment on his weverse lives and how jimin is the only member jk streams all his releases, watches compilations of, keeps up with his interviews/performances/MVs, but tkkrs are theorizing on why jimin isn't actually special to jungkook even if he's on live giggling kicking his feet to jimin videos, jungkook's special person however is one that jungkook never does the same for.

it's actually crazy how many hoops they gotta jump through to convince themselves that taekook is real when all they're doing is basing their beliefs on theories from fans who know as much as we do. it's crazy to me that tkkrs would rather be confused every time jk or tae do something and try to explain how it fits in the grand theme of taekook's storyline no matter how confusing and out of place it seems, when being a jikooker is much easier because jikook are very consistent and direct and it doesn't take fan theories to realize what's going on between them.

jk only watches jm content on live? jm must special then. see? easy.

jungkook made a GCF for jimin with queer coded lyrics? damn, they might be dating.

jimin gave jungkook a hickey?? TWICE??? they must make out/fuck.

jimin wasn't fazed when jungkook sucked his sweaty ear on stage? he must do that a lot.

jikook spend their birthdays together? they must really love each other.

jungkook went live for hours on White Day? a couple holiday in Korea? his partner must've been out of town then

jungkook speaks informally to jimin and jimin only? they must consider each other as equals then

jikook wore matching clothes on valentine's day? and they watched the first snow together (a couple's tradition in korea)? they must be a couple then.

jikook flirt constantly? jungkook especially doesn't flirt with anyone except/as much he flirts with jimin? they must be attracted to each other then.

jungkook's body is always unconsciously pointing towards jimin? he's obviously interested in jimin then.

IT'S SOOOO EASY!! WITH JIKOOK EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS SO EASY. i don't get why people willingly torture themselves by trying to disprove them??? do you hate the idea of them possibly being together that much??? if so then you need to ask yourself why, and QUICKLY.

613% agree.

I don't understand why they put themselves through all the logical gymnastics. They're gonna sprain something.

[mrs-monaghan]

Now today we got that goddam proof that jikook is fanservice when jk said suddenly they set up the shoot lol

I hope you are coping well ❤️‍🩹

Antis with all their anti-ness dont push the FS narrative as hard as the vermin do. So I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you're a Taekooker.

Ladies and gentlemen this roach is talking about this

I won't even get into the fact that you were most likely seething with jealousy when u sent this ask. You can lie to yourself all you want but you wish it was Taekook who filmed this fanservice. Alone. Together. You would give anything to switch positions with us and it shows.

I hope you're coping well

Hmm....

Bitch, take a seat. Go on, have a seat. Let me tell you something you didn't know. Are you ready? Coz its a big one. For some very weird strange reason y'all still think V and JK are a couple when a whole Jennie exists. So I'm not gonna talk about that. V and Jennie being a couple is crazy but here is something crazier.

I'm sure this photo is familiar.

And if its not, you're welcome. It's cute, isn't it?

So the reason why Taekook cannot be real is because; that's JK holding Jimin as they slow dance casually without a care in the world and with guess what? Your fav standing right there!

Let me know if that wasn't enough arrows and I can add more. I just wanna make sure you see the picture.

But that isn't even the best part. I recently found out that this night, this night where JK has his hands on Jimin's waist all intimately while they dance like it's no big deal,

Thanks to @chicknbunny13 I recently found out that it was V's birthday!!!!

Can you fucking believe that shit?????

Anon, imagine you and your friends go to this party and it just so happens to be your birthday. And then your boyfriend (right infront of you) goes and grabs your best friend's waist and they start slow dancing. They're not goofing around either. No. It's for real. They're just casually moving, slowly, not even looking at you or paying you any mind. How would that make you feel?

Taekook is not and cannot be real for a million reasons. And one of the most powerful one is the amount of times Jikook have done some sus shit right in front of V's salad. You can call it fanservice all you want, but it wouldn't hurt you guys sm if you didn't know deep down what that means.

Edit: @magicshop-pjm1 just reminded me of this part:

What do u call that anon? JK being aware that Taekook together will bring in more views? 🤔 Let me guess, because its Tkk, its not FS. That only applies to Jikook?

.

.

We are getting a GCF 2.0 featuring our favs and its gonna be great. So yes anon. We are doing fucking amazing. Thanks for your concern though.

[dearweirdme]

So funny to see Taekook shippers gettin mad at Holland for what he said just because it didn't fit their narratives. I wonder how people would react if he had said "I think Taekook is real" instead.

Hi anon!

So funny I haven’t seen any straws or anti’s in my inbox ever since Tae’s lives and yet now here you all are misinterpreting his words.

[thv-jk97]

[mysmorgasbordoffantabulosa]

Taekook: The mystery of the matching crockery...

So on his birthday, (30th Dec 2021) Tae went on Weverse and posted the following image:

With the following caption:

어우.. 정말 감사하고 올해 2021년 다들 고생많으셨습니다🙇‍♂️ 사랑합니다

[TRANS] Ohh.. Thank you so much and in this year, 2021, you've all went through a lot/ you've all worked hard 🙇‍♂️ I love you

Then...

On 15th of June, JK went live on VLive to calm ARMY down over a word, and in said live he had a beverage in mug:

Now do you notice anything similar between the two images? Here let me help you...

Now that mug and bowls are all from the same company: VBC Casa, an italian ceramics company in Italy.

They have two collections that use the same ridge patterns in the design the Fondaco and the Incanto collections, The latter collection (Incanto) is fully white with no off-set colours/distortions:

Whilst the former, has various colours (white, ivory, pink, slate grey & aquamarine) all with slight gold colour distortions on the ridges:

It's clear that the cutlery both JK and Tae's images come from the same collection, because of the shading on the ridges.

Now we know that JK promised to cook for Tae, the food in the photo is what Tae wanted JK to cook.

So does this mean it's simply JK's crockery? If that's the case, then does that mean Tae was at JK's place (either the Yongsan apartment or his new abode)?

But the counter where Tae's food is presented is the same as this photo, which was taken when Tae and JK's drunkenly chatted on Weverse and where I speculated that Tae was hiding the photographer because it might be someone we know:

So, if the meal was in Tae's apartment, is that Tae's crockery and if so what's it doing in JK's apartment?

If not, then what's JK's crockery doing in Tae's apartment?

Did JK just love Tae's crockery and decided to buy his own set?

Did they buy it together?

All these questions and more may never be answered, but boy...

[smokingtiger]

Taennie or Taekook? It's neither.

So, some of my thoughts on this whole taennie thing... You can't say "nothing is confirmed/real until Taehyung says so" and "Taekook is real" in the same breath. You're contradicting yourself. To mention my previous post on shipping, I still firmly stand by what I said: I think it's fine to have your suspicions/suspect that something is real, but you are to take the opinions and words of BTS/BlackPink at face value and accept them for what they are. You can think that Taehyung is dating Jennie, but it's still their private life (and yes, enunciating their, because many people tend to forget that Jennie is very much a part of this equation), so their words (or the lack thereof) should be respected and considered the truth.

Fans should never speak in absolutes about things they cannot necessarily confirm to be true.

(also using 0.0023 seconds of eye-contact as proof (but they're just so full of love, OP!) is extremely silly and needs to stop. are you a trained pupil specialist? get your ass a career in optometry!)

Furthermore, if we are to apply this situation outside of a heteronormative lens, one could argue that handholding between any gender can be seen as platonic or romantic. A woman holding a man's hand does not necessarily mean they're involved, the same way that a man holding another man's hand doesn't mean they're dating. It's almost as if many different types of relationships exist -- and even if certain actions fall within the expectations of a society/culture, nothing is entirely concrete. K-pop fans are far too comfortable with blatantly saying "In Korea--" or "Koreans think--" without actually ever stepping foot within Korea or acclimating themselves to the many vibrant colors of the Korean culture and people.

You can make guesstimates, hypotheses, or speculations based on the evidence at hand, but without running a proper trial(s) or getting information from a primary source, your evidence cannot be declared as fact. It's basic science. Good luck calling Taehyung up and asking if he's dating worldwide pop sensation Kim Jennie or Jeon Jungkook.

Even if there appears to be a 99% chance of something being true, we should still take into consideration that 1% of it is still left unaccounted for.

So is Taekook real? No. Is Taennie real? No. If Taehyung tells us that he's dating the moon, we should congratulate him for falling into its orbit. End of story.

Also, it's embarrassing to send out a #WeLoveYouTaehyung tweet with #TaekookReal also attached to it. Real ironic -- read the room.

Replace "[insert ship] is Real" with "I have reasons to believe that they might be a couple, but I can't confirm it."

Tae and Jennie Tae and Jennie Tae and Jennie

I had to go to twitter to see what’s even going on and I’ll admit I do love seeing them just out in the open not giving a fuck, good for them. That is IF they wanted to be seen. But also didn’t we already know they’re a couple? Lol
