Ult Red Queen Character Tournament Round of 16: Bracket B, #4

Vote for who you think is the ultimate Red Queen series character. Reblogging with propaganda is welcome, but please be respectful!

Ara Iral:

Don't get me wrong, I love Maven, but Ara Iral is so badass. She is an elderly woman, a grandmother, in a YA fantasy series, whose character is not defined by her age. She is intimidating and formidable to her enemies, but loved and admired by her own family. Ara is one of only a handful of female High House leaders in the series(I believe the others are the heads of House Eagrie and House Greco). She stood up to Elara Merandus and was imprisoned because of it. In the end, Ara ended up fighting and dying beside Mare, a Red, someone she had been taught was beneath her, for her own freedom. The Panther is truly a memorable character, and one I wish we could have learned more about.

Maven Calore:

*DEEP BREATH* SO! THIS MAN HAS BEEN MANIPULATED SINCE HE CAME OUT THE WOMB, DUDE'S GOT MORE TRAUMA THAN I HAVE CRUSHES (and lemme tell u that's a lot). HE'S BI. AND GAY FOR HIS (dead) BEST FRIEND. HE'S HOT, SO HE SHOULD GET EXTRA POINTS. And my boi got to marry all the baddies in the series [Mare, Evangeline, Iris]. HE WOULD BURN THE WORLD aND NOT LET A SINGLE FLAME TOUCH HIS BELOVED [Mare].THIS MAN HAS THE ENERGY OF A SLEEP DEPRIVED WET CAT. I LOVE HIM. He deserves to win, I put my boi in every tournament I can, and he don't win 👁💧👄💧👁. And he's my adopted wet cat, I love him <3 [and he has also committed mucho bad stuff, but he's just a cute little wet cat man, promise! <3] I wanna ramble more, but I have homework :((( BUT THIS MAN IS THE ULTIMATE ONE.

[jaetyun]

i think we had the same top3;; i am so devastated that junhyeon didnt debut (with gunwook and taerae and that he just didnt debut) okay im happy for the ones who are debuting but i dont think i can be ot9 even if i try. i will do my best tho. im happy gunwook is debuting and taerae and ricky and haobin BUT KEITA AND JUNHYEON?? as if im not enough sad and mad after my ult bias for years,,, this broke me even more into pieces.. please give us a group with the remaining trainees or just do it like nct where they start adding new members for new units etc and the trainees will be the eliminated in finals ones + elimination before finals + ichan + wumuti (im sorry if i missed someone)

also the way i am rewatching boys planet for the 4th time and forgetting sbout mingyu and doha after their elimination:// miss them too tho but this is about Junhyeon and Keita. i just cant accept it that they wont debut. life is cruel since last week.

honghais eliminated FUCKED ME UPPP I still haven’t recovered

EXACTLY HOW I FEEL! my perfect world would be them doing top 12 and jay phanbin and keita debut as well ☹️ though now that ive had more time to reflect I think its fir the better cause wakeone isn’t exactly known to have great management and junhyeon & those 3 deserve a permanent group w a better label 💔 I also have a feeling jay haruto zihao and seunghwan will be sought after by labels now that they got some attention w boys planet 

[taegularities]

Omg I luv yoongi sm😔😔😔 his music just brings sm comfort to me and there’s only a few artists whose music can really make me feel better on down days yk. People Pt.2 was unbelievably good, he just always knows how to make such good songs and the lyricsss💔💔💔💔💔💔 his music brings me sm solace I can’t begin to thank him enough for sharing his craft with the world. I’m so excited for his album release, I knows it’s gonna be my top played album all year, but that only gives me 5 days to learn the entire album before his first concert (so happy I’m getting the chance to go tho bc no one knows what I’ll do when I see him live omg😭😭🙏🙏🙏) but I just luv yoon sm😔🩷🩷🩷 believe it or not he’s been my ult for years and I fear nobody can ever make me feel the way he does. Omg sorry for getting so sappy and corny, I just really loved this song and I’m getting so emotional thinking abt how far he’s come🥲🥲🥲 my baby frl🫶

I saw on twt that most likely all the boys will enlist by the end of year so they’ll all be back in time to enlist by 2025 and I never deeped it until now and it makes sm sense🥲🥲🥲 i wish we had more time tho bc we’re still in that grey area between jimins album release and yoongi’s and I just want them all to have armys best support and it’s tricky trying to manage between them rn with all the goals armys want to achieve, but ik they don’t care about none of that and just want to release their music from their heart🥲🥲 but omg I need to stop rambling before I don’t ever stop

you're so so right :( i'm digging the vibe of d-day so much, like i just know it'll bring the comfort i need. his mind is beautiful fr :') i absolutely cannot wait for this freaking album !! i knew it'd happen the moment he announced his tour, and am so happy we're actually getting one like kfjashjfk AND ALSO, have fun at the concert, oh my gosh you'll have the best time !!

don't apologise for being sappy, i find it so sweet when y'all gush about the boys and your biases 😭 and yeah... i hope they get all the support in the world, bc they work so fkn hard and deserve all the love <3 can't wait for 2025, but the upcoming time is gonna be amazing 🥺

[biffhofosho]

NO WAY!! I can't believe your bias is Hyungwon also. I feel like I never meet other monbebe who are in his lane :( Fun fact, I actually couldn't pick a bias for such a long time because of how much I love all of them. One day, however, I was showing my friend one of their music videos and they asked me who my bias was. I balked at first but ultimately I had to admit I always felt so validated, appreciated, and moved by what wonnie had to say.

His songs made me feel something, unlike other artists(not compared to the other members lol). He has such a way with words and as an avid reader, I fell in love with how he wrote. His personality played a huge role in my trip also haha. I feel so safe when I listen to him sing or read stories about him. His disposition was similar to mine, I am an INTJ, and his fearless nature helped me gain confidence in myself.

ALSO, I am in awe that Wonho was your semi-first bias of MX, considering he was the one who got me into them. I saw a TikTok of him dancing and I was immediately absorbed by his energetic yet smooth style. After that, I searched them up and fell in love lol.

Although Hyungwon holds my heart, I must say Kihyun bias wrecks me so hard all the time, which isn't helpful when MX are my ults.

Anyway, enough about me, who's your bias wrecker? I feel like you are possibly a Honey mbb lol. You give off such a comforting and kind energy, yet an intelligent and analytical one at the same time. Getting to know you has already been such fun, I can't wait to develop our friendship further! Speaking of which, how should I call you? I figured since you call me Santa lol you deserve a nickname also haha(I hope that didn't come off the wrong way!)

xox mbb Secret Santa

p.s. remember to drink lots of water and eat well!! much love :)

Sorry for taking a while to respond! Weekends are busy because I do many things with my husband and kiddo, and I wanted to give you a nice, long response for your very nice, long ask. <3

You can call me Dutch or Biff on here or any kind of silly pet name you want--I'm only picky about food haha. (My real name is reserved for DMs where MX can never find me embarrassing myself lol.)

Oh, it's so true, isn't it! Where is the Hyungwon praise, people?!? At least that means it's less we have to share of him haha. :D Stil, Hyungwon (and all seven boys) deserves all the love and best things in the world. I feel like he's really only become truly comfortable in his idoldom since Wonho left, as it was pretty easy to take introvert shelter in Wonho's tremendous wingspan heh heh.

Yes, Hyungwon is as unintentionally funny as he is intentionally funny. Since Inssaoppa, too, he's really been flexing his quick wit and wordplay, and I'm here for all of it. I love that he's been given more and more creative freedom, too. He's an INFP like me, and if we can't create, we wither and die.

Almost all of my all-time fave MX tracks are written by Wonnie, particularly "Mercy" (though I hadn't realized he'd written that song until long after it had been my favorite). I remember the first time I played the No Limit album in my headphones. I had intended to fall asleep listening, but the second "Mercy" hit, an entire universe opened behind my eyes. I cried into my sheets lol. That song rattled my bones. Needless to say, it's my favorite from their whole discography, and I started an entire novel around it. So, yeah, there's that.

I'm not sure if I have a clear bias wrecker since they've all wrecked each other for me for years lol. If I go by non-Hyungwon fics I've written, my favorites tend to be Kihyun's. If I go by the numbers of photos I've saved per member, Minhyuk's and Wonho's are a dead-heat in terms of how many photos I've saved. And aren't we all Honeybebes at heart? ;) I feel the same intense compulsion to put Jooheon's head in my lap and stroke his hair that every single member of MX does. *sighs* He must me adored and babied at all costs. :D

Oh man, I've got you fooled haha. But thank you for saying such nice things about me. If I give off a 1/16th of the warmth Jooheon does, that's the highest compliment I can think of (behind you saying I write like Hyungwon *continues to sob for all eternity*).

I feel like we were matched so well for Secret Santa omfg! Your energy is just my flavor, dear Santa. <3 Thank you for being so chatty with me. Is very, very lovely. :D Can't wait to chat more!

✧ #1000DaysWithTaehyun ✧     ↳  “What is there to say other than I love you more than the word ‘love?’”

quick cc note: 1000 days since i was charmed out of my mind by taehyun’s intro film! obviously uh y’all know how i feel about yeonjun, my ult, my forever boy. but taehyun is like. hm. how to put this. he’s the one i love a little extra. i think he’s endlessly thoughtful and curious and has the best sense of humor and you can tell he is so committed to soaking up every bit of the world around him that he can. he’s pragmatic and honest and sharp as a tack and sometimes i think that leads to people kind of categorizing him as the cold/emotionless one of the bunch, especially against the rest of the group who are usually just. spilling feelings everywhere. (same besties, i too spill my feelings everywhere!! just look at this mess of a read-more!)

but with taehyun the love is in... okay, so. soobin says he’s the most loyal of the members and that he really really likes them so much, and that taehyun takes care of the people in his circle so well, and showers them with so much love. and you can see it! you can see it clear as day! it’s in the way he makes sure everyone in the group is being heard, being listened to. it’s in the way he talks about the rest of them so warmly, always hyping them up and telling them how wonderful they are. his late night walks with soobin, the way he and gyu are so different in so many ways but fit so well together anyway because they agree fundamentally on the things that count, the way he honestly looks at yeonjun with stars in his eyes and never misses a chance to compliment him (words of affirmation for yeonjun!!). it’s in the way he playfully complains about their room being overtaken by plushies but always makes sure that kai goes home with the plushie prize if available in variety shows.

he takes pictures of the sky when he thinks it’s pretty, and he shares them with us because he wants us to have a piece of beauty in our pockets in case we’re having a tough day. he’ll converse with fans on weverse, just showing us bits and pieces of his day and his life. (his garlic, and his swallowing a feather incident, and his late night snacks, and so on and so forth.) he’ll write long, heartfelt letters in korean, japanese, and english to us and then apologize for not knowing more languages to write to us with! he gifts us with little mini covers on social media.

and uh! the other thing is. he comes off so collected and mature and coolheaded that he doesn’t GET maknae energy from fans but! he’s one of the maknaes!! the members always include him as such, like he and kai are the same age! he’s playful and he has such a spark of mischief in him and he learned sleight of hand because he wanted to be a magician when he was younger. anytime he’s near a skateboard or longboard he ends up. sitting on it and cruising along. he’s really so cute, i wish some people would LISTEN to soobin when he says so! he gets so excited about little things and when he does he brings his hands up and does this cute little fist-shake wiggle in delight thing (you KNOW what i’m talking about), and his smile lights up his eyes and his entire face.

anyway. this is just. a very very long-winded way to say. i am so fond of him, i am constantly proud of him, 1000 days in and he hasn’t once let me down. please listen to best leader soobin when he says taehyun is a person who deserves even more love. ♡

11 questions: tbz ver!!💞

thank you so much for tagging me @seraphimguks this was so fun to do!!🥺💖 I'm also super sorry for being insanely late with this tag, I've had it in my drafts and completely forgot about it </333

name/nickname:  Laura Jane / Kachu/Lala

country/state: Switzerland

which tbz boy is closest in age to you?  Haknyeon, he's 5 weeks younger than me^^ babie :P

who did you first notice in tbz and why? Hmm, this is hard to say. Before I was a deobi, I saw moots talking about Sunwoo and Changmin because they biased them, and I also heard of Eric (and his friendship with Felix) from said friends, and also learned that there's two more English speakers called Jacob and Kevin. I then got shipped with Younghoon once so I looked up their profile to look at him (and the others). Then I decided that Chanhee is the one who catches my eye most and called him /a bias/. After that, I noticed Hyunjun because of his airport fashion that I adored. And eventually it was Kevin and his cute self as Simply Kpop MC who caught my eye so much that I decided to stan (he's still my bias while Chanhee is my most dangerous bias wrecker haha). But honestly, I'm not sure which member I noticed first as I heard of some members through friends and not because I noticed them on my own - soooooo, you guys decide, idk.😂👉🏻👈🏻

favourite laugh in tbz?  This was so hard to decide... tbh, I really like Moonbae's laugh because - and I might be biased here - my own laugh is a mixture of Jacob's giggles and Kevin's mute suffering/dying 🤚🏻😭 But I also really like Chanhee's and Sunwoo's laugh, they're just so straightforward and loud, it's endearing :'))

if you can only meet 3 tbz members, who would it be? either Kevin, Jacob and Eric (no language barrier haha) or Kevin, Chanhee, and Changmin. I'm 100% sure about Kevin though, I need to see my ult <3 😭

first tbz song you ever heard?  uhmmmm, I think that was actually Boy because I watched their music video when they debuted (I thought a group called "The Boyz" that debuts with a song called "Boy" was super hilarious, so I wanted to check it out ajxjjsks) but I didn't start stanning them back then :( As you can see, sometimes I make bad decisions haha

1 unpopular tbz opinion? hmm, I don't think this is an unpopular opinion?? But idk what would be one since I don't really keep up with fandoms' opinions as I focus more on the artists (fandoms - in general - can be toxic, so I prefer not to engage too much and keep fangirling among my friends/mutuals - in a space where I feel comfortable and safe to express myself), so I'll just talk about /an opinion/ - not knowing whether it's unpopular or not akdkskd. So, tbz are still a bit of an "underrated" group, they've gained a lot of new fans through RTK (edit: I wrote this - all questions - before kingdom) but still, I feel like they deserve more recognition, especially for their performances. I feel like they're one of the best 4th gen performers (I will never forget RTK Reveal stage and Reveal/Checkmate MAMA stage - Hyunjae and Sunwoo going up on that thing - that I don't know what it's called in English - is SO AMAZING, LIKE WHUAT??? Honestly, these will always belong to my favourite performances because it was seriously mind-blowing.

I MEAN LOOK AT IT;;;;;;;

WOW-

So yes, I just feel like they'd deserve a lot more appreciation and recognition for these amazing stages that they deliver!! They must be working SO hard and they're so in sync and just aaaah, it's so satisfying to watch them dance and perform, you know. The world is missing out,,,,🤧🤧

another edit: add their kingdom performances to the list too, because wow, I loved them all so much, they're SO talented!!!😭😭😭

which tbz member is most similar to you? I actually rewrote this answer because I always thought it was Kevin... I still believe we have lots in common but I recently found out that - astrology wise (according to the pattern app) - I'm /very similar/ to Jacob!! The pattern app tells you how similar you are to other people based on your birth charts and there's similarity levels from: very different < somewhat similar, but mostly different < similar < very similar and I kid you not, I've probably looked at my similarity level with at least 100 people (idols, family members, friends) and while I've gotten "similar" with lots of people - Kevin for example - I've only gotten "very similar" with 3 people so far. And one of those 3 people just so happens to be Jacob, so wow! I had no idea that we're that similar based on our charts - but I guess our air sun and shared Leo rising and also shared Virgo & Pisces placements make it make sense ෆ╹ᴗ╹ෆ sorry for the ramble, I'm still so overjoyed with being so similar to him🤚🏻😭

most underrated tbz song? In my not so humble opinion, I'd like to name two of my faves - Shake You Down and Summer Time <3333

give us a good pic of your bias.  

excuse me but how am I supposed to choose JUST ONE when Kevin looks like a full course meal in every pic???✊🏻😔 Just look at him-

also, please don't hate me but I really miss his longer hair, I'm currently in mourning😭😭😭

tagging: @interstellix @http-peachie @jellihye @oddlittlefandomist @key201303 @stealerz and any other deobi - Idk who else of my moots stans them, so pls feel free to do this and tag me so I can see your answers!!^-^💞💞💞

[mingirn]

Hi there! I have a random but meaningful thing to say to you. It's 1:14 at night and i was just trying to fall asleep when I decided to first scroll on tumblr a little in the Lee know tag because I am just falling for the god damn boi. I am 22 and I used to spend a lot of time reading stuff on tumblr and even posting myself on my only active account and the moment ( @jkimk ). You might be asking yourself what is this message even about. Well, i stumbled upon your scenario that has the "it's a familiar thing" in it and I would like to tell you how much of an impact it had on me. Lately I have been worried because of the adult life, the future and the war part, because it's near me :))) and I think I didn't really feel like myself anymore because I was not as receptive on tumblr for example or with stray kids's content because of the low menthal hygiene. And yet, your text just made me feel again the excitement of reading somebody's pov regarding you-know-who. And I would like to thank you for the brilliance you had. The simple way of describing actions, combined with deep feelings. Also, your approach towards Minho's behaviour and demeanor was on point from my point of view. You described him as laid back, confident, loving and yet confusing because of his silent way of expressing himself. While reading I had to stop and reread the paragraphs because of the deep emotion that you've awaken inside of me. I scrolled down and I saw in your tags that this was not your first version and that you did not enjoy the end result. You have been brilliant. Smart in choosing your words. Carefully arranging the dramatic parts in order for them to be believed and you made a little piece of literature and art because it created such a strong reaction in us, your public, consumer and readers. So, I will be ending this very long note with a big thank you, because I could be writing here all night long, making a PHD analysis on that specific work of yours and it would still not be enough for me to express your talent.

~Wishing you a beautiful day, Ralu.

hi! it’s currently 2:54 for me, and i read this as soon as it got into my inbox a few hours ago, and i’m still reading it now, just grappling for any sort of response because this entire message did really render me speechless. i’m incredibly thankful to receive this, and i will go more in depth but i just want to start off with a resounding, loud thank you. thank you for messaging me this, thank you for your introduction, thank you for the praise, thank you so much.

i’m happy you’ve been falling for lee know- he’s wonderful, i don’t blame you! it’s cool to see your blogs too (both the active one and the one you sent this ask through), you’re a longtime fan and it’s admirable to see how long you’ve stuck around for. sehun is my ult by the way, you have great taste. i also saw the lee know tarot card you posted and i’m truly impressed, it’s the most beautiful piece of art i’ve ever seen! wow!

i feel really blown away by the fact that you say i made an impact on you, that’s truly something i take to heart and it means the world to me to hear that. we are the same age and i understand how scary the world is right now, adulthood and responsibilities and the future are all intimidating and looming things to think about. i’m also quite close to the war, but not impacted, and i know how hard that is too and i feel for you a lot. i also understand struggling mentally, and how it might impact your presence on social media, but i truly hope you do not feel any pressure to be a certain way. there is never a need to post/write/do anything, please take care of yourself first! there is nothing i can ever say to fix these feelings, but i do wish you the best and i truly hope with all my heart that you start finding ease soon and i hope you can feel like yourself again. you deserve the best, and i hope it comes to you soon. to hear that i brought you some excitement means a lot to me, and the way you describe my wording and all that feels like much too high praise… i’m really, truly thankful for everything you say about that fic, i honestly think the way this ask is formulated is way more beautiful than anything i could have ever written. like i’m sitting here with tears in my eyes, i’m not kidding. this message is truly one of those things i will never forget, i will literally always remember this and think about your words when i’m down.

”You have been brilliant. Smart in choosing your words. Carefully arranging the dramatic parts in order for them to be believed and you made a little piece of literature and art because it created such a strong in us, your public, consumers and readers.”

that part in particular literally left me breathless, there is nothing i can say in the slightest to convey just how much this means to me. this is the most beautiful thing someone has ever said to me, especially in regards to something as simple as a little fanfic i posted. you have said things i am not at all deserving of. seriously, thank you for every single thing you have said in this ask, i appreciate it more than i can say and i will not forget this. thank you so much, i hope you were able to sleep eventually and you’re sleeping well now! i hope you have a lovely day when you wake up, and please know how much you impacted me. thank you a thousand times. ❤️

Favs of 2020 (Guys edition)

A/N: This is just personal opinion, everyone has the right to disagree. Also all title tracks are linked!

Girl’s Version

TOP 10 of 2020: 

1. Spin off - ONF (Sukhumvit Swimming) 

All the songs on ONF’s ‘Spin off’ album are really fun. But ‘Sukhumvit Swimming’ is definitely my song of 2020. ‘Cactus’ is my favorite b-side though. The amount of happiness this song brings me is absolutely insane. Even though I severly misheard what they were saying (I LIKE IT STUPIDDDD SWIMMING) the first time, I love the song and the mv concept. Very fresh, very happy, sparks a lot of joy and very Onf. 

 Onf is one of my favorite discoveries of 2020. 

2. Treasure Epilogue: Action to Answer - Ateez (Answer) 

The end of Treasure era and well one of my favorite title tracks like ever. ‘Answer’ hits a nostalgic nerve in me and I love it so much. The ending always makes me emotional and I think this was the era everyone served their best looks too. My favorite b-side was most definitely ‘Horizon’ because it also hits that nostalgic nerve. 

Ateez hits different and I was supposed to see them live this year so in the words of Hwasa: “Corona... fuck you.” 

3.  So, 通 - N.Flying (Oh Really) 

Okay, N.Flying has really become my favorite band this year so I couldn’t not mention this album. Especially not with how many times I have played it. This whole album is really good but ‘Flower Fantasy’ definitely takes the cake for me. I love a good power rock ballad. Also Kim Jaehyun has made his way to share Johnny’s ult bias position. 

I love N.flying so much. 

4. Hey, Go Smile - Bloo (When I smoke) 

(this is a gif from Nae Tat, I’m aware. Couldn’t find one from the actual mv) 

Bloo’s song ‘Downtown Baby’ blew up this year and rightfully so. However the song he released this year is sooooooooooooo much better (in my opinion) The way ‘When I smoke’ starts remind me of a movie, the song is so good throughout and also makes me weirdly emotional alot like ‘Answer’ does. ‘Let it Go’ is also such a good b-side. 

I am even considering getting ‘Go smile, it’s your time’ tattooed. 

I hope Bloo returns soon. 

5. So Beautiful - DPR Ian (So Beautiful) 

A piece of art from a man I deeply, deeply respect. Christian Yu created an absolute masterpiece with this one, not only visually but also for the ears. The classic music and jazz elements in it make it such a fun trip to listen too. I’m so glad this was his long awaited “debut” I can’t wait to see what else he brings out. 

I’m also painfully whipped for him but that’s besides the point. 

6. From Home - NCT U (From Home)

This song on their 2020 compilation album is by far my favorite. I love the mixing of Korean, Japanese and Chinese in the track. The lyrics are phenomonal and their voices are absolutely lovely. I’ve listened to this every day since it came out and it’s just so pretty. It gives me a lovely comforting feeling and makes me all warm and gushy. 

Maybe my favorite NCT U unit and I want another song like this. 

7. Mayday - Victon (Mayday) 

Victon is also one of my favorite finds of 2020. When I tell you I listened to this song daily since it came out. It’s just such a good track and I love the build up and also how the music demonstrates the chaos around like a mayday. Very good song also, all of them looked phenomonal. So this definitely made my top 10 this year, I preferred it over ‘Howling’ immensly. 

8. Neozone: The Final Round (Punch) 

The song that gave everyone temporary memory loss. I loved ‘Punch’ so much, from the concept to the styling, to the song. It was soooo good. It made me kind of regret not waiting for the repackage and buying the ‘Neozone’ album. But it seemed my man’s is slowly getting his time to shine and it was about time. This song gives me those nostalgic future vibes. Like what people in the 70′s thought the year 2020 would be like. 

9. Chocolate - MAX (Chocolate) 

The legend who dropped an album and got married. Changmin’s album is absolutely amazing and the title track ‘Chocolate’ makes me feel like I stepped into a luxurious ceo’s office. I fully, fully love this album as well. ‘Piano’ is definitely my favorite b-side and I hope to own this album some day. 

Also congratulations getting married Changmin! You deserve the very best. 

10.  Zero: Fever Part 1 - Ateez (Inception   Thanxx)

The start of Fever era. Although this era is bittersweet, the songs are absolutely amazing and I have listened to them nonstop. Aside from the double title tracks, I loved ‘Good little boy’. I remember when the tracklist was released and the fandom was like “the fuck is ‘good little boy’” But yes this album the diary film, the music videos. It was grand. 

Favorite boygroup debut: 

TOO and DKB

Now ‘Magnolia’ was a song I didn’t quite like at first. I thought it was just another dark concept boy group and it didn’t really speak to me. But then they released ‘Count 1,2′ and they got me. They really got me. That song and album were both contendors for my top 10 this year. BEcause of that song I revisited ‘Magnolia’ and ended up really enjoying it.But still I hope they do more songs like that ‘Count 1,2′ in the future. 

Okay... another group I didn’t enjoy the song from at first. But ‘Sorry Mama’ got back on my radar recently and I really, really, really enjoy it. But their most recent release ‘Work hard’ is soooooo good. Look I’m completely here for concepts other than dark lately. The world is dark enough so let’s bring cute and happy concepts back please. ‘Work Hard’ is just sooooo much fun.

Favorite solo debut:

It’s a tie between Wonho and Seungwoo from Victon

This whole album was really good and I’m just really proud of Wonho and I don’t have much else to say about that. (Open mind) 

I love Seungwoo’s album so much surprisingly! I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it as much as I did but it really caught me by surprise. I loved ‘Child’ and ‘Sacrifice’ is also just so good. 

A/N: Keep in mind these are just my favorites, your favorites may differ as they should! Let me know what your top faves are this year!

Choice tag!

Rules: Answer the questions (if you want to skip one, feel free to do that too of course!). Tag 3 people (or more or less, you choose really). Tag your post with #CHOICE_tag so we can find each others’ posts! Have fun!!

I was tagged by @aceinmyveins thank you 😍💕 I'm tagging @dongkwan @aceisunderrated

1. Introduce yourself. You choose how much and how little!

I'm Vilma, I'm from Finland and 25 years old. I'm studying to be a language teacher and I'm starting at my very first job in August as a Finnish teacher 😱

I have a spanish waterdog named Ramen and he is my whole word. He is my depression medicine, I got him as a depression dog last year. He turns 1 year next Wednesday 😭

2. How and when did you become a CHOICE?

Oooooo this one. Last year, 2020, I was going through Spotify, looking for new music to listen and I spotted a.c.e there. The first song I listened was Savage and as I heard Sehyoon's rap (we all know what I'm talking about) I was SHOOKED. I started to listen Savage on my car, like I seriously had a playlist of Savage 50 times and I listened it in my car and I only waited for Sehyoon's part. I think I listened about a month only Savage and then I thought ok, I'm gonna watch the MV and as I saw that this motherfucker has green hair and he raps like this... Damn. So I started to dig deeper and look at me now.

3. What is your favourite part of being a CHOICE?

Ooooof I love to be a part of smaller fandom to be honest cause there's less drama and less hate and toxic, even tho our boys deserve the world #aceworlddomination. I have felt like I was welcomed in the fandom from the beginning even tho I was a newbie and didn't know everything yet and Choice let me in so kindly 💕

4. What is your favourite A.C.E song? Do you prefer their title tracks or b-sides more?

I have always been a b-side person but I think a.c.e is the only group whose favorite song of mine is their title track. Savage or TMH is got to be the one for me.

5. Who’s your bias? What do you like about them?

My first bias was Junhee and it was mostly because I feel like we are so similar persons. I fell immediately for his smile and his smile is the best thing in this whole universe, don't touch me.

But my ULT bias is Donghun. Oh Dongie I lob you... I can't explain it clearly enough how much he means to me. Whenever I watch videos of him or his vlives or anything really, I feel safe.

6. What is your favourite thing about A.C.E?

Their genuine love for Choice and Choice's genuine love for a.c.e

7. Which concept has been your favourite? What kind of concept do you want them to try?

Not gonna lie I'm so excited about this comeback, like DONGHUN HAS PURPLE BRAIDS. DID YOU HEAR ME?!?

But if I have to choose like concepts that has done before this, I'm so into the water theme that I have to say the underwater photos are my favourites.

8. Which A.C.E friendship is your favourite? Which one do you want to see more of?

Can I answer ot5? I love their interraction together and I think they have one of the best chemistry together in kpop.

9. If you could tell A.C.E one thing, what would you tell them?

Thank you. I believe in you. I will support you. Forever and always.

10. Which A.C.E member would die first in a horror movie?

I'm sorry but Byeongkwan 😂 even tho it would be the most obvious thing to say Junhee but I think the moment he saw something scary he would ran as fast as he could and never turn back while BK just froze to the place and just die.

11. Leave a small message for your fellow CHOICE!

I love you! Thank you for being kind and remember to continue being kind ❤️ I'm so shy with making interraction with new people but I know you all are so amazing and gorgeous persons! You've got this, stay strong, I believe in you. Even tho we have never talked I'm still your friend! ❤️

[your-world-with-nct]

— 2020 has been a wild year for all of us and let me start this off by saying well done to us all for simply making it through this crazy ride - if surviving this year was your biggest achievement, that’s completely okay, and i am so proud of you for being here today !! despite the many, let’s say, mishaps, that have occurred this year, both nct and nctzens have been key in my 2020 and i couldn’t be more grateful for them, so i decided to make a little appreciation post of my own before the year ends 🥰

— to my followers ;

my petals !! i can’t believe i started off this year with around 300 followers and i’m now nearing 600 🙈 this account has grown so much this year and it’s all thanks to you. if you’ve ever come across my blog, liked or reblogged a piece of mine, sent me an ask, or pressed that follow button, i want you to know that i am so grateful for you and thank you for enjoying my works 🥺 hopefully 2021 will carry the same positive energy here on your-world-with-nct as it has this year and i’m hoping that you’ll be seeing a lot more fics in the near future 👀 once again, i love you petals <3

— to my dearest mutuals ;

@emistoomultifandom

em bubs !!! i know i could easily do this on any other app or even irl but i just wanted to thank you for making my year 🥺 my lockdown wouldn’t have been the same without us constantly texting and fangirling and our ty track/bfc reunion on my birthday was elite. and obviously this new school year has been an adventure and a half so far, with all the lunch time shenanigans, revision sessions, and exam stress, but i can’t wait for the rest of it 🙈 i am so grateful that i had you by my side during 2020 and i am eternally thankful that i’ll be able to go into the new year with you by my side once again 🧡💚💜

@misfitneo

bella - my first mutual, my tumblr mum - it feels like just yesterday that you wrote a beomgyu blurb for me after seeing my pink theme; now you’ve finished college and i’m applying to colleges 🙈i know we haven’t been able to talk as much recently but that doesn’t mean i appreciate your presence any less - i’m so proud of you for getting into med school and pursuing your dream 🥺🥺 i hope that this year treated you well, and that 2021 treats you even better 💞

@nsheeteeish

loml, almost birthday-twin, fellow leo and xiaojaem stan, fave writer - what do these things have in common? they all apply to v, or, yeet anon, if you remember the days where i ranted to you about my crush and you were a baby stay 😪 not only have you delivered such amazing content on ur writing and gif blogs, but you have provided so much comfort and joy to me whenever we message with dilay 🤧 i look forward to checking your blog every day for new posts and my twt and insta notifs in case you’ve sent me something or you’ve seen what i sent you 🙈 the fact that you think of me when you see certain things just warms my heart and you’re just such a caring person in general, thank you for being a part of my 2020 v, all the best wishes for your 2021 🖤

@cloudyangers

dilay !!! my resident yangqi and the person i think of straight away whenever i see yangyang 😚 i remember when you first requested that e2l chenle blurb back in 2019 and now the only chenle stan between us is v 😁 finding you on this app again after i forgot what ur skz blog’s url was, was just amazing and i don’t know what my tumblr experience would be like without me being able to reconnect with you 🥺 thank you for being able to make me laugh effortlessly with our lack of geography knowledge and our random antics, i will always look forward to seeing the username @cloudy_____ on my dash and screaming over renhyuckyang (+ sungchan 👀) with you for years to come 🤍

@nctsoftarchives

andi bb, my fellow dad!johnny stan 🥺 seeing you post a jaemin birthday blurb for me after your return to tumblr was so sweet and i can’t believe your first post after coming back was dedicated to me 🤧 i remember the day i first messaged you and you were gushing over how you were a big fan of mine and i said the same about you - we were just going back and forth about how much we love each other’s work 😌 you are such a talented writer and you are so full of love - wishing all the best for you in the coming new year babie 🥰

@jensungf

coming across leyna’s blog after reading that jsmr fic was the best decision, because not only have i befriended a brilliant writer, but also a jensung enthusiast who is just the kindest 🥺🥺 i think now would be a good time to tell you that despite jeno’s bias wrecking antics back in august, i actually bias jisung now 😃 i know we haven’t talked in a while, because of our busy schedules, but i hope you’re resting well and i hope that 2021 won’t be as hectic for you 💟

@doyoungcore

joyce, i know we only started talking recently but the serotonin boost both you and your works have given me this year is just incredible and i am so thankful for your warm personality on your blog and for your amazing fics 🤧 i started off as a silent reader who gushed about your writing in the tags but now i’m friends with such a talented writer and we just casually ramble about doie and jaems biases and writing struggles,,, wow 🤯 (btw took some of ur tips on editing headers 🙈) i hope that next year we can expand our friendship and that i can continue to give you the feedback you deserve 🥺💕

— favourite reads of the year ;

i have reblogged all of these to my main @/lovelycharm05 before, but i just wanted these masterpieces on here with everyone since these fics are so memorable and enjoyable to me <3 (beware there is lots of me gushing over how f&%#ing good all these writing techniques and plot devices are - can you tell i’m an eng lit nerd)

@nsheetee - moonlight café

obviously v released so many iconic pieces this year but this series was just *chef’s kiss* coffee shop au’s are the cutest to me because you can do so many different things with them, and you truly showcased that through each members’ part. although i am nahyuck biased (out of all the 00 liners), i have a soft spot for jeno’s part 🥺🤧 but that doesn’t mean i’m not obsessed with jealous jaems and cocky hyuck 🙈

@notnctu - to all the j’s i loved before

the very first work i ever read of yours, joyce 🥺🥺 i remember seeing an nct network reblog this and after reading through the summary of the series, i was enticed by the plot and i read most of your masterlist whilst waiting for the next parts 🤧 the main character’s relationship with each ‘j’ was unique to them and their interactions were just so sweet to read (except jaemin’s >:( why did my ult’s part have to be the angsty one 😤 jk jk i loved it anyways) special mention to ‘cupid’s arrow’, because that fic was an emotional rollercoaster and i loved that almost as much as i love bestfriend!jungwoo in the last part 😌

@misfitneo - lee haechan’s pride

it would be a sin if i didn’t include this in my top reads this year, pun intended 😌, especially since i have a weakness for mafia aus. i haven’t had the time to read mark or renjun’s parts yet, but from what i read in this fic, i’m sure theirs are just as good, if not better. the storybuilding and the development of the plot are so detailed and intricate and that is what i love in a fic. i already reviewed this on my main with a lengthy description of my favourite parts so i’m gonna keep this short and sweet - if you love haechan, mafia au’s, and enemies to lovers, you need to read this !!

@jensungf - passing clouds + only forever

these fics hit different now that i bias jisung 😭 ‘passing clouds’ was pure angst and as much as it hurt, it was written so beautifully and i loved it so much. ‘only forever’ healed the jisung shaped hole in my heart and made me fall in love with him all over again. the first love vibes he gives off is unbelievable and that innocence was presented perfectly in this 🤧 side note: never let jisung bake for you even if it’s as a peace offering 😖

@hyucksie - in the long run + second first kiss

although ‘sweet talk’ and ‘silent treatment’ are also contenders for some of my favourite fics of the year, these two have taken the cake 😌 the concept itself of time travel and mark and y/n seeing their future child was so creative and the mixed emotions that the characters experienced seeing their future were executed so well and the ending when their actual future selves remembered the day they time travelled 🥺🥺 not to mention the sequel doesn’t feel forced at all, the story flows well, and jealous mark is a cutie 🥰

@luvdsc - not clickbait

i’ve been following cat after i first read ‘i turned my best friend into an e-boy!! (and kissed him)’ and ever since then every piece of hers that i’ve read is simply breathtaking and so engaging. her style of writing is so unique and whenever i read anything of hers i feel so immersed in the fic. the dreamies as youtubers and tiktokers was such a cute concept to me and the little comment section at the end of each fic is probably my favourite part 😳 the way each member’s fic connects to the plot of another is perfect and their cameos in one another’s fic >>> (jisung telling y/n about the tiktok challenge in mark’s fic + cameraman jisung in chenle’s) i could keep talking abt this series for a lot longer but i’ll end it here, also i can’t wait for norensung’s parts 💞💞

@pwarkhans - the neo academy

i’ve probably mentioned my love for ‘the umbrella academy’ before but THIS !!! this series just made me love it even more 🙈 despite yangyang’s part being the only one that’s out, that and the prologue are interesting enough and seeing the 00 liners in this alternate universe is honestly amazing jxjwjxkw jaemin as three and hyuck as two is everything. the brothers’ relationship, especially in yangyang’s part, is so complicated yet so cute and i can’t wait for the rest of the members’ parts 💘

@yongtxt - vintage

when i first stumbled across this series, i was immediately intrigued by the plot, and not just because it was about rapper!mark and singer!y/n🧑‍🦯🧑‍🦯 the side characters (dreamies + doie and jisoo) were so funny and well-written and the plot >>>> i was so invested in the twists and turns of the story, the relief i felt when the conflict was finally resolved and we got our fav musician couple !!

@byunbaekby - apartment b23

i only found this series recently but wow am i invested in the plot already 😭😭 the conflict in the story is realistic and feels like something you could actually relate to. norenmin’s friendship/bond is so strong and evident through the story and the side characters are my babies (heejin, shuhua, lia - ily 🤧) i can’t wait for the rest of this series since i am a sucker for the perfect balance of angst, fluff, and crack in this 🥰

— favourite works of the year ;

unfortunately i haven’t had enough time to release any fics this year, and i’m hoping that that won’t be the case next year, but here are my top 5 favourite blurbs that i enjoyed writing and reading <3

1:48pm -> dad!johnny

one of the most popular blurbs on my blog to this day 🥺 honestly i get why, who doesn’t love dad!johnny? hyejoo is literally so adorable here and the family dynamics make me soft all over again whenever i reread this piece. also everyone’s reactions and replies to this are so heartwarming because everyone’s just whipped for the suh family 🙈

1:05pm -> soulmate!taeyong

i love soulmate au’s but something always irked me with the permanence of your soulmate like ,,, what if you end up falling out of love with them? then what? that inspired me to write my own take on soulmates, where they aren’t found, but made. taeyong’s character here is just so full of love and you know how much i love lovable boys 🤧 (ever wondered why i ult na jaemin...?)

12:13pm -> boyfriend!mark

7dream!!!! i don’t usually write domestic fluff even though it’s one of the genres i indulge in the most 😔 but when i do, i go all out because everyone needs to know how soft i am for my boys >:( mark’s love for the dreamies is so unique and i love their friendship so much, i had to write about it when i first heard about the 7dream announcement which i definitely did not cry at

11:40pm -> boyfriend!jeno

this was one of the first requests i ever got and i was just so touched than someone personally requested something from me AND it was jeno 🥺🥺 everytime i read the tags under this, everyone is just gushing over jeno and like,,, same 🙈 this type of fluff >>>

waking up with wayv -> wayv reaction

when em first requested this, i didn’t exactly know how to write something for each member without being too repetitive, but in the end, i loved the mini plots i wrote for them and it’s just one of my underappreciated faves 🥰

— favourite releases of the year ;

just a few of my favourite albums that got me through online school and revision sessions for offline school 🥲 ft. lots of nct + october albums bc that month was PACKED

nct 2020 - resonance pt1 + pt2

nct 127 - neozone: the final round

nct dream - ridin’

wayv - awaken the world

superm - super one

enhypen - border: day one

if you’ve managed to read all the way to the end, congrats for putting up with my lengthy and very sappy sentiment and sorry that you had to go through all of that 😭😭 thank you for being a part of my 2020, i hope that the new year allows us all to have a fresh start and brings us the opportunities we didn’t have this year. happiest new year to you all 🥳 (even tho it’s not 2021 yet when i’m posting this :))

[jooniez]

ult group tag -  rules: answer the following questions for your ult group

thank you so much @cherryjk for the tag ur so sweet!! i hope you’re doing good angel 💖

Who was your first bias?

hobi 🥺🥰💕 he has such a bright and lovely personality, he immediately stood out to me & his cute sound effects were so adorable i couldn’t stop giggling at him ;-; 

Who is your bias now?

joonie 😢🐨 love of my life 💜

What was the first mv you watched by them?

save me 💞

What’s your favorite mv?

on manifesto, save me, fake love, black swan, bs&t (+jpn. version  too)✨

If you could listen to one of their songs for the rest of your life, which would it be?

oh jeez this is so hard, imagining a world where i wouldn’t be able to listen to bangtan’s entire discography is so sad but probably.. black swan?? and i’m including the orchestral version in that because it deserves all the love 💖

Who would you want to see them collab with?

hmmm no one, im just here for bangtan so i dont really care for collabs tbh 

What mv concept do you want to see them do?

mmm probably another dark more ~dramatic~ concept like bs&t or black swan or something with the same vibe as their winter package pictures in the dark outfits on the rocks. but i also really loved the simple, choreo focused mvs like on manifesto and save me with the pretty scenery. i know those are like opposite aesthetics but i love them both so much asdjshbjsh 💞 

Have you ever had a dream with any of the members in it?

yes!! i don’t really remember exactly what happened in them but i was hanging out with a few of the boys and it was chill and relaxed and nicer dreams than what i usually have lol ✨ 

If you could spend the day with one member, who would it be and what would you do?

ohhhh, i would love to hang out with all of them so much but i feel like me and yoongi are the most similar and would get along well so i’ll say yoongi!! it would be so fun to just chill with yoongi and hear him talk & give me good advice ♥ 

Which member do you think you’d get along with the most?

probably yoongi & jungkook, we’re all pretty introverted and have similar personalities and i feel like i would fit the best with them and we would click right away 💕

Which member do you think you would argue with?

hmm, i don’t think i would argue with any of them tbh?? lol i would love to have fun jokey debates with them about mint choco chip and stuff like that which i feel like would be very fun but i don’t think i’d genuinely argue with them lol. they just always have so much fun together and they all have such lovely vibrant personalities it would be such an honor to hang out and goof off with them ;-; 💜

If you had to let one member scroll through your tumblr, who would it be?

ohh probably yoongi cause i feel like he would be really chill and i would just feel less embarrassed with him compared to one of the other boys for some reason ajdhsbjhjsdhj 

i’ll tag the lovelies:

@mykrokosmos , @duckjinnie , @jooniesmuse , @lucid-jjin , @crytaeby , @marvelousbangtan , @heybaetae ,  @dnaes ( @taehrs ) , @taesangels & anyone elso who wants to!! 💕 pls don’t feel obligated to do this & i’m sorry if you’ve already been tagged, also pls let me know if you don’t want to be tagged!! ily ✨

[tomiyeee]

(hopefully I'm not too late to send numbers for the hw asks!) 3 and 15 [Gelorum]?

never too late to let me talk about hot wheels 👍

3) Favorite & least favorite movie?

fav: breaking point definitely! even though nolo plays a very minor role throughout most of it, it’s got my two favorite scenes (cafeteria and vert house). i know they’re probably the most boring to most people, but i love being able to see the characters' personalities and relationships outside of races/anything surrounding races.

least fav: world race. way too many meaningless side-characters, way too much boring racing, cringe dialogue, cringe ending. the small feet were a nice touch tho.

15) Random headcanon/theory about [insert character/faction/event/etc]? (Or if no topic is given, pick your own!)

(im sorry friend, i realized you said gelorum only after i typed this all up and i don’t have any good gelorum hcs.....i hope that’s ok ;n;)

i mentioned this a little bit ago in the replies of @/zed-36’s post but im not sure how many other people would see it there: nolo is probably a very chill and nice guy normally, and the only reason he was as aggressive and spiteful as he was in the series was grief/trauma. this was mainly because of this post that i saw a while ago bc the description is very fitting. we saw little bits of his caring side in speed of silence, when he asks about porkchop and throughout ult race, and i think that was probably his default personality before tone’s crash and from the last movie on. unfortunately all four movies kinda took place during that grieving period for him, so that anger is all we really got to see and as a result most people find him annoying lol. thinking about it that way, nolo’s attitude is a little more forgivable, but tork definitely didn’t deserve to be on the receiving end of it :(

also! while we’re on the topic of my darling boy, nolo, i wanna delve into his and tone’s relationship a little cuz i think about them way much. hc since tone was the one raising nolo for practically his whole life, he was very protective of him and did the best he could to take care of him. tone taught nolo how to defend himself (like in the fight scene in ult race, yknow the one-second-long somewhat-awkwardly-animated shot of him sweep kicking the drone) and how to drive, letting him use synkro until nolo got his own car, which didn’t get to happen until after tone’s death. tone would sometimes subconsciously spoil nolo and even show favoritism towards him, much to the other teku members’ annoyance, which also contributed to the bad blood between vert and nolo. nolo pretty much idolized tone and adopted a lot of his interests and personality traits growing up. his overconfidence was a result of him trying to mimic his older brother, but that attitude combined with him being somewhat spoiled led to him being a bit more selfish and conceited than tone (eg karma saying “you’re starting to sound like your brother” after nolo’s “we’ve all earned it'' implying that tone looked out for his teammates much more than nolo initially did as leader).

[bananban-feature]

Stan Talent, Stan Pentagon

So many reasons to stan Pentagon:

1. Self-Produced

They just have a ton of talented songwriters in here! Cube is popular for self-produced idols after all, like BtoB, another super talented group.

Hui is a composer-producer, not really a secret because he’s well-known as a genius as he also composed hit songs for other popular groups (such as Energetic by Wanna One)

Kino and Wooseok wrote a lot of songs in their albums too, including some of my favorites Spring Snow (Kino) and Nostalgia (Wooseok). Kino also wrote their special single Eternal Flame. Wooseok had a big contribution in writing my absolute favorite, Daisy (but mostly written by Hui), and honestly his songwriting talent seems to be underrated.

Jinho has also composed a few and helped write a lot. Yuto also composed songs (aside from his rap lines), one song being Camella that a lot of “unis” love. *Universe/Unis = fandom name

Both Kino and Yuto have their own soundclouds for the songs they write/produce.

Yeo One composed his own solo songs (yes, even as rookies, they were already composing), and they’re actually so good. 

Also, in general, they are so creative in their songs and performances. Example: their Road To Kingdom performances, and also their super fun b-sides like Round 1 and Round 2!

My personal favorites: Obviously the genius Hui, Wooseok (I love him so much!), and Kino (such a talented person)

2. Vocal Kings

Their main vocals (Hui and Jinho) are absolutely top-tier vocalists, two of the strongest ones in the kpop world (imo).

Jinho was LITERALLY a vocal coach of kpop stars. Incredible vocal range.

Their lead vocals Hongseok (actually now a main vocal) and Yeo One are potential main vocals! And their sub-vocals, Kino (honestly surprised he was a sub-vocal cause he’s waaaay too good to be sub!), Yan An and Shinwon, are on par or better than other groups’ lead vocals, imo.

Vocal kings of harmonization. I love it so much, they sound so good! They take after their sunbaes BtoB, the OG harmonization kings. (Song references: You Are, and Shine acapella version).

Wooseok and Yuto’s rap are also so good! Honestly, I go crazy sometimes, especially with Wooseok’s delivery.

Edit, random trivia: I actually found out Wooseok auditioned in Cube as a vocalist and a model. Thank God, he discovered his talent in rapping later on, because dang, this guy is SICK. His rap touches my heart. He is proof that the basis of what a good rapper is doesn’t need to be about how fast you can say your words.

My personal favorites: Hui, Jinho, and Yeo One (what a beautiful voice, and he’s so good and stable live, halp huhu, totally underrated), Wooseok’s rap (I’m a big fan, my eyes are filled with hearts)

3. Musical ability (in general) and Dance

Being composers/producers, they have a good understanding of music theory and techniques, especially for Hui (obviously, the genius), Jinho (as a vocal coach) and Kino (I think).

Musical Instruments: Almost all of them (except for Hongseok) plays musical instruments

Piano: Hui, Jinho, Kino, Shinwon - I have to make a special note here. These guys can really play. They’re not the type to say they play the piano but only press a few chords here and there a bit and sing a song. They play their keys!

Guitar: Yuto (he is really good! he posts electric guitar covers on Twitter), Wooseok, Jinho, Hui, Yeo One, Shinwon

Erhu (Chinese traditional instrument): Yan An - studied it for 10 years. Haha! This is so unique, I’ve never seen him play it, and it’s not exactly a useful instrument to have for kpop music, but I love it!

Edit: I also found out Wooseok can play the violin. Not only that, he’s won a violin competition.. I couldn’t believe it! Violin it’s such a hard instrument. It’s not easy to be good at violin, let alone win a violin competition. Wooseok really surprises me with the musical talent he has sometimes.

Dance: Quite obvious as a kpop idol group, even though admittedly they aren’t exactly the best as a whole group. 

But anyway, Kino is the main dancer. (Also known for being such a good dancer of girl group songs. Hihi cute)

Lead dancers: Hui, Yuto, Yeo One

Apparently, Kino is also the choreographer! I think he was the main choreographer for Daisy. (Don’t @ me, I’m not sure. But in general, yes, he does choreograph for the group.)

My personal favorites: Kino, Hui - this also includes stage presence.

4. Visuals

Their official visual is Yan An. (Pentagon is whipped for Yanan, btw.)

Other unofficial visuals, at least in my book: Yuto, Hongseok, Yeo One, Kino (but tbf, as a well-loved idol group, everyone becomes an unofficial visual)

Shinwon was actually a legit model before being an idol, and he became viral for being “the handsome part-timer” at a cafe Exo went to.

Men’s Health Korea models (YES, ACTUAL MEN’S HEALTH COVER BOYS aka gym freaks): Hongseok, Yeo One. *PS: I have a feeling Yuto will also be on there soon, one of these days

Let me just reiterate though that while Hongseok is known for his muscles, he more than his abs. He’s smart, funny, and talented, as you can see in this whole post. So yeah, basically, please don’t objectify him.

My personal favorites: Yuto (the reason why I checked Pentagon out in the first place! my heart went deugun deugun), Hongseok (what a great face, beautiful eyes), Yeo One (cutie), Kino (very very pretty face)

*check ending for gifs/pics*

5. Other talents

Acting

Literally THREE of them are musical theatre actors, and all were actually the main characters in their respective musicals: Jinho (already a theatre sunbae), Hui and Yeo One. Honestly, this shows both acting skills and strong vocal ability. (Imagine the strong vocal ability of the lead vocal, in PTG, Yeo One, a main character of a musical. It gives you an idea of how good the vocal line up is.)

I think some of them had some acting in dramas, like Hongseok and Yeo One

Update: Yanan and Wooseok are also on dramas/will be on dramas now. That makes almost everybody in Pentagon (still waiting for Yuto and Shinwon) an actor.

Another update: Kino is now hosting his second podcast with Dive Studios! :)

Randoms

Hongseok, Jinho and Kino speaks three languages pretty comfortably: Hongseok/Jinho (Korean, English, Chinese), Kino (Korean, English, Japanese) ---not super fluent but able to have good conversations. And foreigners Yanan (Korean, Chinese), and Yuto (Korean, Japanese) are obviously fluent bilinguals.

Kino drew and painted the album art for WE:TH / daisy. He even gifted a painted version to Hui for his studio!

6. Personality

Let me start by saying Pentagon is a crazy group. They aren’t really kids but they are so chaotic. I love that they have no filter!

Even the leader, Hui, who’s not really young, is very chaotic! Hui is actually such a cutie pie. And also so funny, especially in their TMIs

Hongseok is so funny, so witty, and has absolutely no shame. I love it!

Shinwon is very witty, and is known to be the mood-maker of the group.

Yeo One is a little 4D. He’s like a messy kid and sometimes has his own world. :)) An absolute cutie!!!

Kino is the sweetest person ever! He never fails to tell Universe how much he appreciates us.

Jinho is known to be the kind and caring hyung they can depend on.

My personal favorites: Hongseok (hilarious and crazy, has me dying), Hui, Yeo One (ugghhhh super cute personality!), Kino also!!!

Overall: They have a bunch of all-rounders! (My personal favorite all-rounders: Hui, Kino, and Yeo One) They’re so talented and deserve a lot of recognition and support.

Hui is my bias and my ult, but I can’t decide who’s my next bias.

Update: I think Kino is my next bias, cause he’s just so good, so multi-talented! I can’t with this guy. I’m even considering adding him to my ult list.

But my gosh, Changgu is absolutely adorable. Wooseok talent. Huhu idk if second tier bias or...

***Not to be this obsessive OT10 fan, but I really like Dawn (formerly E’Dawn), so I’m writing his skills as well: Great composer (Shine, one of my faves huhu), such a great Rapper (he gets some amount of hate for his voice, but I actually really like it!), Main Dancer (what a good dancer tbh), and very unique personality. I love him, he’s so talented. (But anyway, even with him gone, Pentagon isn’t lacking! They’re still so great!)

Seunghun As Your Boyfriend

pairing: kim seunghun x reader (gender neutral, if I accidentally slipped up and used non gender neutral pronouns pls tell me so I can fix it)

request:  bullet point seunghun as your boyfriend please??

i hope you like dogs bc you’re basically dating a gigantic puppy

ok that wording was a bit weird lmao but i mean,, he really is a gigantic puppy

he’s literally the sweetest, cutest, most loving boyfriend ever

you catch him staring at you at least 4 times a day

i mean, he makes no point in hiding it either

“hey babe, do you want a strawberry cupcake again or do you wanna try a different one today?”

“...”

“...babe?”

“hm what?”

“you were staring again.”

“no i wasn’t”

“ok so what was my question then?”

“..............i might’ve been staring again.”

he just thinks you’re the most beautiful person to have ever walked this earth!!

if you’re insecure about your looks he will not hesitate to constantly remind you that you look amazing the way you are until you start to believe it yourself

but if that doesn’t help, he’d sit you down and talk about what you can do to make sure you’re comfortable in your own skin

cue the weekly gym dates

if you’re confident tho, he’s gonna be your biggest hype man

can and will throw the cheesiest, dumbest pick up lines at you

“ohhhhhh, look at my beautiful baby!”

“damn is it hot in here or is it you?”

but this relationship isn’t a one way street

idk if yall remember but during [redacted] era he constantly said he knew he wasn’t good enough, said he’s never once looked in the mirror and thought he looked handsome

so your boy is in need of some tlc too

and you have no problem telling and showing him

“what has two thumbs and the best main vocalist in kpop as their boyfriend?”

“oh my god don—“

“this one”

begs you to stop doing that in front of his members because he’s highly embarrassed

but he secretly loves it anyway

he’s a clingy baby

doesn’t care about any possible watchers

ok not like that but I could be persuaded into writing that 👀

will hold your hand, wrap himself around your frame, kiss you in public without a care in the world

will also do all of those things in front of the boys, much to their dismay

doesn’t get jealous of anyone except hyunsuk bc you baby him more than you do your boyfriend because he trusts you and knows there’s no one you love more than him (ʃƪ ˘ ³˘)

also doesn’t get jealous of people looking at/flirting with you

honestly, he just goes “yeah that’s fair” bc like I said he thinks you’re the prettiest baby ever

if he notices you getting uncomfortable with someone flirting with you

or if someone truly doesn’t get the hint that you’re not interested and have a boyfriend

he will step in

he’s built like thanos a big guy, could easily tower over most people

8/10 times he’s had to step in for you, they scurried off before he even opened his mouth because he looks that scary, apparently

tries to keep a straight face until they’re out of sight

and then immediately breaks out of character and gives you the cutest smile

you know which one I’m talking about, that big ass eye smile of his

god I love him so much

ok I know I’ve said this a million times already;

but he genuinely, truly loves you more than anything

except

he loves your dog a tiny bit more if you have one, let’s say you do for the sake of the fic

you have to fight your dog for your boyfriend’s attention more often than not

sometimes he comes over late at night, not because he missed you,, but because he missed your dog

has asked you to bring your dog on dates before

it didn’t end well

“hey babe, do you think you can bring noodle idk man with you for our date saturday?”

“...”

“babe? :(“

“You can no longer text this number.”

*dming you on instagram* “DID YOU???? BLOCK MY NUMBER?????”

“MAYBE IF YOU STOPPED PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO MY DOG I WOULDNT HAVE TO”

“😔”

“who are you dating? me or my dog?”

“I—“

lmao anyway

skip to the ☼ ☼ ☼ if you’re under 18 and/or not comfortable with smut

slow, passionate lover

definitely more of a giver

just wants you to feel good

but definitely wouldn’t say no if you wanna return the favor

still, he cares more about your pleasure than his own

i feel like he’s neither a dom or a sub, but would be okay taking either of those roles if you’re the opposite does that make sense lol

he’s a switch I guess??

one day he’s languidly playing with you underneath a blanket during movie night with his members

the next day he’s begging you to let him cum while you’re riding him

not opposed to trying out kinky stuff but nothing too extreme

☼ ☼ ☼

he’s so full of energy

your dates range from karaoke nights, to going to amusement parks, to hiking with your dog

introduces you to his mom fairly quickly

he loves his mother more than anything so her opinion means a lot to him

but he was smitten with you from the moment you met and is sure his mom would be too

she is, uwu

you and his mom hit it off immediately

and so monthly tea dates with his mom become a thing

seunghun’s not sure whether to be happy you get along with his mom so well, or sad because he’s never invited to them

ok idk how to end this

pls love him lots

he deserves the universe

can you tell he’s my ult of ults?
