Alright, back from visiting family, on to more important matters. Like playing video games.

Vs. Drake I really wanted to give this one a shot, in part so Anni Steven can contribute, but also to show off his specific contribution in Weather Wipe. It's not really talked about much, but in some of these more modern stages where the gimmick is auto-weather and high DPS, it's a good solution. Summer Liza is hilarious. I love the damage this kid dishes out. I will admit, there are some gauge issues with Steven even at +6 team speed. But not as many as you'd expect. Sincerely, I think his EX might solve it.

Vs. Glacia I initially tried a few others that were not getting the job done, then shifted to this. Look, base Liza was a super good support when I started the game, and I wanted to bring it back, this time with her brother Tate, who is...kinda ridiculous. More importantly, Darach. Darach's not a bad Tate partner, given the attack debuffing sets up innate Tech nuke, and the lowering of opponent evasion allows Thunder Wave to hit consistently. No weather combined with a free Crit Shield removal allows the team to take off enough offensive parameters that Liza isn't seriously threatened.

Vs. Phoebe At this point, I messed up using H!Caitlin entirely. I had wanted to do a bit more with her but it wasn't working out with Lodge Rosa/Colress, so I gave up and tried Anni Lillie, only to find out that right, using Ghost Zone powers up Phoebe, and Lillie's weak to Dark. So that didn't happen. Instead, we went with Irida strats. I like bringing Lorelei to an off-type match to clear. It feels like justice for her frankly atrocious grid.

Vs. Sidney You know who's not Dark weak? Caitlin. Okay, so maybe C!Bede is a little overkill, but I am in fact willing to kill on this one. Caitlin's final sync was like 20k. Which is pretty respectable for off-type, I think. DPS with the moves up next effect really chunks the stage too. Big fan of this, though sincerely Bede feels very overkill, he's so stupidly good.

Vs. Steven So then I thought hey, you know what'd be fun? Emma. Only to find out that aiming for denials prevents success entirely, because Emma's sync will not handle Steven's remaining HP. So you gotta spam. Okay, spam on him then. Oh that's still actually fairly difficult because their team is boosting defense a lot? Well then. Yeah, this one took a lot more consideration than usual. Anabel needed to do some flinch work for it to come together, but nothing too terrible. Still, it was frustrating enough that I legitimately considered Head Start on Looker or Emma to get a fast-ramp in and solve for this. Looker...gets the job done with Poison Sting, admittedly, but this is going to be a very sub-optimal team soon. Oleana's going to completely change what Emma works with optimally. I think if Looker can offer anything over Oleana, it's an easier justification to just drop CS2 for Head Start 1. Not like he does any damage off-type.

Let me tell you a good story

Bloodbound Fanfiction (characters and main story belongs to Pixelberry Studios).

Pairing: Kamilah Sayeed and MC (Annie)

Information:  this takes place after Bloodbound 3, here I’m recreating how Kamilah and MC would meet if she had never gone to Raines Corporation right away.

Summary: Thirty years after meeting Annie for the first time, Kamilah is now a wife and a mother. During a regular family dinner, she decides to tell her daughter and their new son-in-law the story of how she fell in love with Annie after an unusual meeting through the hallways of NYU.

Warnings: none

Part 1 Part 2 Part 4

Let me tell you a good story - Part 3

March 2nd, 2048 “No way!” Drake leaned back on the chair, laughing his heart out. “You didn’t realize that Ms. K. Sayeed was her??”

“No!!” Anna whined behind her hands. “I found out later.”

“A month later, might we add.” Kamilah was shaking her head judgementally. “You cannot imagine how much fun I had listening to her complaining about the boss, ‘Ms. Sayeed’, right in my office.”

“FOR ONE MONTH?” Drake’s chin fell.

“I… I… Uh, come on! It’s not my fault. She signed her works with ‘K. Sayeed’. How the hell would I know? I don’t google every author I read.”

“But, ma’am, she told you her name was Kamilah right before joining a conference which had for main lecturer a ‘K. Sayeed’.”

“Wait, let me defend her now.” Lysia put a hand on Drake’s arm, suddenly monopolizing his attention. The diamond ring on her finger sparkled against the light. “In Brazil, Kamilah is a quite common name, but not with a ‘K’. It’s always with a ‘C’. She had never met a ‘Kamilah’ with a ‘K’ before. Therefore, she couldn’t link my mom’s name with ‘K. Sayeed’. It’s like someone telling you her name is ‘Kate’ right before going to a conference held by, I don’t know, ‘C. Hudson’. Would you automatically think this could be a ‘Cate’ with a ‘C’?”

Kamilah gave her daughter a proud smile. There was her little genius lawyer showing up. Every time Lysia put on that tone on her voice, so delicate yet firm and confident, the vampire queen would feel the urge to applaud and hug her tight. She grew up so fast. When did my little fairy princess-ninja become a beautiful woman?

“Ok, ok. Now I get it.” Drake gave in, melted by the argument as much as by Lysia’s touch. “Go on. When did you find out? What happened?”

Annie took a deep breath, her face already back to its natural colour. “So, after I basically criticized and called her thesis’s conclusion to be stupid… And laughed at Adrian’s thesis as well… Kamilah just fell in love.”

The woman beside her almost choke on wine. “Excuse me?”

“Oh, please. You got horny cause I had the audacity to criticize your work. No one had done it before.”

“MOM!” Lysia twitched her nose. “Please, do not say horny. That’s not a picture I want in my head.”

“Alright. Your mother felt very… Blissful. She spent an entire week thinking about my gorgeous audacity, until she finally took the courage to invite me out on a date. Actually, to command her assistant to do it.” Anna shot an accusing glare. “Couldn’t do it yourself, huh? Coward.”

Kamilah crossed her legs, avoiding that look. “We could say, if you insist, that I was only being careful to let someone more… Social… Handling the situation. And it wasn’t a real date.”

Annie laughed. “Right. I know you just wanted to see me again.”

 August 22nd, 2018

             Days were getting a bit too cold for Anna’s taste. She had grown in such a hot city that anything under 25ºC (77ºF) was already considered freezing. Hence why she was wearing heavy pajamas and socks that afternoon, all covered in blankets while eating cookies. It was her day off and Princess Bride was on TV. She had seen it a hundred times, for it was her favourite movie, yet still laughed at the same jokes. One day, months later, Annie would watch it again with her girlfriend. Three years from now, with her wife. In ten years, with her five-year-old child between her legs. But tonight, all she was aware of was a warm feeling on her chest, the urge to see someone she didn’t know how to find.

           “Stop it”. She stared at the cookies, scowling. “It was just a random woman. You don’t even know anything about her. She could be a boring ass businessperson.”

             “Ahem.” Kamilah interrupted the story, an icy glare coming down at Annie. “I don’t understand why being a businessperson sounds like a flaw in your mouth.”

           “Not the point. Hush.”

             The movie was about to end when a high sound made Anna jump on the couch.

           “Phone! Ok, where is it…” She went looking around the mess of books and papers, until finally finding it hidden inside a pencil case. “Yes, hello. Hi.”

           “…Am I speaking to Ms. Anna Mali?”

           “Yup, that’s me. Who is this?”

           “Ms. Mali, my name is Jacob Lee, I’m… Kamilah’s assistant. She wished to know if you’re available to have dinner tonight, at seven o’clock.”

           “Oh.” Annie sank on a chair, confused. “Are you asking me out on a date? I mean, Kamilah. Through you.”

           “I’m… Not sure if she would like me to answer that. I was specifically told to call you and set dinner to either tonight or Saturday night. Whatever suits your schedule.”

           “Right. Can you put her on the phone, please?”

           “She is at a meeting now.”

           “Of course.” Annie sighed, disappointed. “Ok. Tonight’s perfect. Where should I meet her?”

           “I’ll text you the address. Thank you for your time, Ms. Mali.”

           Something was off. Anna stared at her phone, trying to understand what just happened when Lily’s voice appeared from the steamy bathroom. “So, I think now we’ve officially ran out of hot water. What ya doing, girl? Let’s put another movie on.”

           “I... Think I might have a date. In two hours.”

           “WHAT? Is it the hot woman you met that day? Was it her on the phone?” Lily grew impatient by the silence. “Come on! Give me something here!”

           “Yes, I… Lil, okay, listen, this is super important. Help. Me. Look. Gorgeous.”

           She took the mission seriously. Without much time to think about it, Lily fetched a nice fancy dress, combed her hair into a loose bun, put on a provocative shade of red lipstick and, finally, struggled against the decision of which coat letting her use. Normally, Anna would wear something warm and heavy. It was 20ºC (68ºF) outside, and for her that was enough reason to burry herself in clothes. But Kamilah would definitely judge it.

           “Ok, blood. You better boil in there and keep my friend warm because we’re doing this.” Lily handed her a light and elegant lace coat.

           “Is my accent too strong?” she bounced at the doorway, still unsure.

           “Yes, and for the hundredth time, don’t let this bother you so much. You speak four languages, for fuck’s sake. If anyone around here mocks your accent again, I’ll kick his ass. Stop worrying and go. Text me if you need rescuing, alright?”

           It was 06:45 when she left the apartment. Ten minutes later, her cab stopped at the destination.

           “Have a good date, miss!” said the driver.

           “Thank you! But… Wait, is this correct?”

           “Yes, miss. It’s the address you gave me.”

           They were parked outside a huge and beautiful business building. Not the kind of place for dates. Anna walked in with a confused look on her face. A sign on the wall said “Ahmanet Financial”. That’s oddly familiar. The moment she approached the balcony, a young man came to greet her. His voice sounded familiar the minute he started speaking.

           “Good evening, Ms. Mali. Kamilah must be down in a minute. Could you kindly wait at the lobby?”

           “Hm, Jacob… Right? Jacob Lee.”

           “Yes, that would be me.”

           “I’ll wait, no problem. She can take her time.”

           “No need.” Kamilah’s voice made them jump. She had just stepped out of the elevator. “You can go back upstairs, Jacob. Thank you.”

           “Yes, Ms. S… I mean, Kamilah. Boss. I’m going.” The assistant seemed troubled, walking hesitantly away from them.

           Anna opened her mouth to ask what the hell happened to him, but she shut it when her eyes noticed the look on the other woman’s face. Kamilah’s stare started on her shoes, slowly climbing the legs covered by pantyhose, passing through the black flowered dress, lingering a while at the neckline and finally reaching the red lips. The Brazilian felt so deeply analysed a shiver went through her spine. Kamilah’s critical eyes weren’t giving away her thoughts. She could be either enjoying or hating the view, there was no clue.

           “Good evening.” Anna spoke, both hypnotized and insecure. “Uhm… You… You look gorgeous. Well. Fancy. You look fancy. Let’s go with that.”

           Kamilah arched an eyebrow, slightly surprised. “Thank you. May we go?”

           “Sim. May. We may.” Annie sighed. “Sorry, sometimes I still struggle against the language.”

           “Don’t worry. I am familiar with the feeling.” Kamilah walked back to the elevator without even checking if the girl was following.

           “So, you’re not American?” she tried to catch up her fast pace.

           “No. I’m Egyptian. But I came here a long time ago.”

           Annie kept her silence, well-aware that the woman was staring at her again. Maybe that wasn’t a date at all, but a job interview. Maybe she was being considered to fit a position. No… It doesn’t make sense. My work has nothing to do with all of this. When the elevator doors opened, it was to the entrance of a highly fancy restaurant. A tall hostess came to greet them while another one guided both to an empty table by a huge window.

           “Red or white?”

           “What?” Anna looked away from the view. “Oh, the whine. White, please. Sauvignon Blanc.”

           Kamilah kept her posture, not even glancing at the whine menu. Even though her expression was unreadable, the tone on her voice seemed a little impressed. “You heard the lady, Mr. Kendall. Bring us the best Sauvignon Blanc you have.”

           “Right away, miss.”

           Anna watched as the waiter left them, suddenly noticing they were the only two clients there.

           “How was the other professor’s article?”

           “Who?” The Brazilian woman looked down, momentarily searching her memory. There went the fingers entangling again. “Oh. You mean Faith? From that night? It was good. There were a few improvements to do, though.”

           “I see.”

           Anna smiled as the waiter poured the wine for them. Her hands seemed to hesitate, waiting for Kamilah to drink it first, only then taking a sip herself. After that, her body began to relax, black eyes sparkling as analysing the Egyptian’s features. “How was the lecture? Did you enjoy it?”

           “It was pleasant. Some of the speakers were quite good.”

           “I actually googled Ms. Sayeed works afterwards, while I was waiting for Faith.”

           Kamilah’s lips opened a small smile, her voice showing a hint of curiosity. “And?”

           “She has some articles about history I wasn’t aware of. She can be really interesting when is not talking about economics.” Anna taped her fingers together, trying to speak slower so she wouldn’t miss the pronunciation. “I read four of them. Two about history itself. Loved these. She gets the job of the historian in a way only a few do… It’s almost like she can feel the passing of time, our history, differently than the rest of us.”

           Kamilah crossed her legs, still amused. “What about the other two?”

           “It’s hard for me to criticize it, they were about Egyptian history. I don’t know much of this subject. It was well-written, that’s for sure.” Anna narrowed her eyes, like something was finally connecting. “Wait.”

           Egyptian history. Egyptian woman. Ahmanet Financial.

           “This place…” She inclined her head, confused. “Is this place hers? Ahmanet Financial?”

           “Yes, it is.”

           “And you… Are you like… Her partner or something? Do you work for her?”

           Kamilah sighed. I cannot believe this. “Well, yes. I suppose we can say that.”

           Anna was still blushing. A beautiful tone of pink matching the red lips. “I knew the name of this building was familiar. Why didn’t you tell me? I wouldn’t have said all these things if I knew she was your boss.”

           “I appreciated the honesty.” Kamilah seemed to become more serious, her smile replaced by a solid face. “Ms. Sayeed… People don’t often say such straightforward thoughts about her work. Although I do disagree with you in many aspects, your opinions were truthful and valuable.”

           Annie closed her eyes of embarrassment. Since she was already feeling exposed, why not rip the band-aid off? “Kamilah, is this a date or a professional meeting?”

           The woman in front of her laughed for a second. “Oh, dear. You couldn’t possibly handle me on a date. Now… Let’s get down to business.”

How You Meet:

Mitchell

The hunger was killing you. You hadn’t fed in weeks. You needed blood. No matter how much you tried to resist the urge to drink the blood of humans, you couldn’t stop yourself. You tried to go after the elderly or people who were about to pass on. Those who were younger, like kids, teens, young adults, they still had so much life ahead of them. You didn’t want to take that away from them. You walked into the hospital, looking like a normal person. You followed the map and went into the Intensive Care part of the hospital. You walked past many rooms before you saw an elderly man. You quietly opened the door and shut it behind you, not bothering to lock the door. Tears filled your eyes. You didn’t want to take his life, but you were starving. You shakily walked over. You failed to hear the door open and close.

“What are you doin’ here?” A voice asked. You jumped and gasped, turning around. You saw tall man. His eyes were brown and his hair was long and curly, tucked behind his ears.

“I-I’m just here to visit him,” you said, gesturing to the elderly man. “He’s my grandfather.” You said. The man slowly walked up to you.

“I’m not sure I believe ya,” he said. You swallowed thickly. “You’re starvin’. I can see it in your eyes.” He said. Your breathing started to pick up.

“I-I’m sorry, I have to go.” You said. You tried to walk around him, but he caught your arm.

“Wait. I can help you,” he said. You looked at him. “What’s your name?” He asked.

“[Y-Y/N].” You said. The man smiled.

“Well, [Y/N], it’s nice to meet you. I’m Mitchell, John Mitchell,” he took your hand. “Follow me.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

George Sands

You stood in the forest. Bare and alone, breathing heavily, waiting for the pain. As soon as your eyes caught sight of the full moon, your bones started to crack. Screaming in pain, you fell to all fours. Your face elongacted into a cat’s nose and mouth. Your entire body stretched and cracked. Your hands became paws and your fingernails claws. Dark fur covered your body. Your eyes changed from [e/c] to an eerie yellow. You had become a werecat.

Two, blood chilling howls split the air. Your ears perked up at the sound. You sniffed the air. You growled lowly, your ears pressing against your head. Werewolves. Doing the sensible thing, you took off in the other direction. It wasn’t that you couldn’t take on a werewolf, you just didn’t want to be responsible for another death. Werecats were stronger and much more vicious than any other creature, vampires included. But that doesn’t mean you intentionally looked for a fight.

The next morning, you awoke, dirtied and tired. You looked down at your body. No signs of scratches or blood. You sighed in relief. No scratches and no blood meant that you hadn’t encountered any of those werewolves during the night. You quickly ran over to a stash where you kept your spare clothes. Throwing on an off the shoulder green sweater and some leggings. Your senses were still in hyperdrive from your transformation last night. Your ears picked up talking. You followed the sounds of the voices. You hid behind a tree and watched two males. You wrinkled your nose. So those are the werewolves.

“I-I have friends,” the first male said. He had short, dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. “A-a vampire and a ghost.” He said. Your eyes narrowed at the second man. You knew very well who he was. His name was Tully. And he was bad news.

“A vampire?” Tully asked. The second male nodded.

“Yeah. Those exist to.” He said. Tully nodded.

“I know they exist. I got beaten up by those bastards two weeks ago,” he said. Tully looked up at the sky. “Something’s about to happen.” He said.

“What’s about to happen?” The second male asked in exasperation. You decided to make your presence known.

“Why don’t you ask your friend.” You said, stepping out from behind the tree. The two males jumped. Tully’s face pales lightly.

“Y-you.” Tully stuttered out. You smiled and crossed your arms, walking over to stand a little in front of the second male.

“Hello, Tully. Long time no see.” You said. The second male looked from you to Tully. He pointed at him.

“Y-you know him?” He asked. You glanced at the second male before looking at Tully.

“‘Course I know ‘im. We ran into each other a few years back.” You said.

“George, you should get out of ‘ere while you still can,” Tully said. “That’s [Y/N], the Werecat.” He said. George looked at you in interest.

“A-a Werecat?” George asked.

“She’s more dangerous than a Vampire.” Tully said. You rolled your eyes. Tully always exaggerated to get his way.

“Oh please!” You scoffed. “I may be stronger than a Vampire and a Werewolf combined, but I don’t go around,” you slowly walked up to Tully, narrowing your eyes. “Trying to screw with other people’s lives.” You said. Tully swallowed thickly.

“I-I was trying to show him how to make the transformation easier.” He said. You smirked.

“And as I’m sure you know, I can do that as well,” you moved your hand in a “shoo” manner. “Now off ya pop.” You said. Tully frowned at you and took off. You sighed in relief once he was gone. You turned and looked at George, who seemed mesmerized by you. You smiled and walked over. “I haven’t properly introduced myself. I’m [Y/N] [L/N], a werecat.” You said, sticking your hand out for him to shake. George hesitantly took your hand, shaking it.

“I’m George. George Sands.” He said. You smiled at him and he smiled back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Annie Sawyer

You took some boxes out of the car. Mitchell handed George some bags of things. You looked up and thought you saw the figure of a woman. But the figure disappeared.

“[Y/N],” Mitchell said, making you look at him. “You alright?” He asked. You smiled and nodded.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” You said. The three of you walked into the house. You walked into the kitchen. You laughed as Mitchell flicked some foam into George’s face. You looked over and saw the same woman. You looked at the two.

“I’m going to look around.” You said, and walked out of the kitchen. You saw a woman, about 23 rushing up the stairs. “You don’t have to run away.” You said, catching her attention. The woman slowly turned around.

“Y-you can see me?” She asked. You nodded, smiling. The woman laughed in delight and rushed over, pulling you into a hug. You chuckled and hugged her back. The woman pulled away.

“Oh! I apologize. I’m Annie.” She said, smiling. You smiled back.

“It’s quite alright. I’m [Y/N].” You said.

“Are you human, [Y/N]?” She asked. You shook your head.

“No. Well, I was, human. But not anymore. I’m a vampire.” You said.

//I’m sorry if this one is short. I couldn’t really think of anything.//

~~~~~~~~~~

Lauren Drake

You coughed for what seemed the one thousandth time that week. You were dying of pneumonia. Your door opened and you saw a young woman. You stared at her, mesmerized by her beauty. The woman smiled at you.

“Are you a nurse?” You asked, your voice sounding hourse. The woman smiled.

“No. My name is Lauren, and I’ve come here to ask you a question. Do you ever wish you were over what ever you have?” She asked.

“Pneumonia, and yes. Everyday.” You said. Lauren smiled and held out her hand.

“Well, I can help make that dream become a reality.” She said. You scoffed and shook your head.

“That’s impossible.” You said. Lauren shook her head, smiling.

“It’s not,” she said. “Take my hand, and you’ll never have to worry about death.” She said. You sighed and then took her hand.

A few hours later, you stood in front of a man. He had short red hair.

“Ah, and who is this, Lauren?” He asked. Lauren smiled.

“This is [Y/N].”

//I apologize if this sucks. I’ve never done this before, so please go easy on me. Please remember that requests are open. So far, I have gotten one request, which makes me extremely happy, but if one request is all I’m going to get, then requests will be closed for good, no exceptions. So please request while is still open.//

Take My Hand... | Carlton Drake x Reader (One-shot)

Words: 1908

Warning: Implied smut if you squint really hard, a load of cheesy fluffiness

A/N: Guess who’s been watching Crazy Rich Asians again and replaying the wedding scene?? I’m tempted to write a CRA AU but idk which character I should write it for. Carlton?? I have too much wips, I’m surprised I was able to do this one-shot.

It’s a modern AU where they all knew each other from high school/college and Carlton is still CEO of a company.

-

You stood with the rest of the bridesmaids, gripping on to your bouquet tightly. Eddie and Anne were finally getting married and you were the maid of honor while Dan was the best man. You could see Eddie shifting around nervously, fixing his tie as the music started playing. You gave him a reassuring smile and nodded over down the aisle where the double doors opened, revealing Anne in a beautiful white dress. Two little flower girls skipped in front of her, flying pink flower petals down the aisle, followed by a little boy carrying the black velvet box. Dan knelt to his level and took it from him, taking out the ring and handing it over to Eddie. He patted him on the back and stepped away. Eddie’s breath caught in his throat as Anne began to gracefully walk down the aisle, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down as he swallowed.

You grinned at the way the couple gazed at each other, happy that your best friends finally together. You turned away before tears could ruin your makeup, your eyes landing on your boyfriend in the front row. Eddie didn’t want him to be a groomsman, a decision that made your eyes roll, but it was his wedding and you had to live with it. Carlton ended up helping to pay for the reception, as a generous peace offering to Anne and to simply spite Eddie.

Carlton smiled in awe up at you, mouthing, “You’re so beautiful.”

“You, too,” you mouthed back, making him silently chuckle. He really looked good, though, sitting there with a white button shirt and tux and styled hair. It was different from his usual style of tracksuits under a suit jacket and a simple hairstyle.

You shook your head, distracting yourself with the pink and white flowers in your hands. The makeup was unfortunately not water-proof and you didn’t want it to run before Anne even reached the podium. Some people were already crying as the wedding proceeded, a few bridesmaids sniffling next to you. Due to their style, their vows had some comedic bantering that helped lightened the mood. Eddie even pointed a warning finger at everyone when they were asked if anyone objected, even pointing at Dan who raised his hands in surrender. Anne smacked Eddie’s arm and smiled.

“I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.”

Anne pulled Eddie by his tie and wrapped her other arm around his neck, making him stumble forward as she kissed him. You laughed, clapping with everyone else. Your eyes went back to Carlton who had been watching you to whole time. He sent you a wink and blew you a kiss that still made your heart flutter no matter how many times he’s done it.

-

Eddie had disapproved with the size of the reception, but Anne convinced him to go with it since they weren’t paying for it anyways. It was a time to celebrate their happiness with their friends and family after all. A band played on a built stage while Anne and Eddie danced with the kids, other guests dancing around them. The cake had already been cut and the champagne bottles open, so everyone was either having fun dancing or indulging themselves in dessert. You laughed as the kids continuously separated Eddie from Anne on the dance floor, thought he didn’t do much to protest.

Carlton came back with two cake slices, kissing you on the forehead. “What’s so funny?” he asked.

“The kids won’t let Eddie dance with Annie,” you said, laughing as one of the boys latched onto Eddie’s leg.

“Whose kid is this, serious?” Eddie shouted, pointing at the boy.

Anne waved you over to come dance with her. “Wanna join?” you asked Carlton.

“I don’t really dance,” he said, “but you can go on ahead.”

You pouted, making Carlton chuckle as he leaned over to kiss your lips. You sighed in defeat, taking one bite of the cake before joining Anne on the dance floor. Kids immediately swarmed you and Anne as the two of you spun around. One girl ran over to you and gave each of you a flower crown. Anne bent down first, allowing the girl to put it on her head and you followed suit, thanking her. She giggled and ran off to find her friends.

“Can you guys help me pry this koala off?” Eddie pleaded.

You and Anne exchanged a look and walked over to him. You knelt to the boy’s eye level, persuading him to let go. Then, an idea struck you as you thought of Carlton sitting by himself at your table. You whispered to the boy and his friends your plan, promising them more cake if they do it. They nodded enthusiastically, scurrying away to set the plan in motion.

Carlton ended up eating both pieces of the cake as he sat and watch you dance. He wasn’t much of a dancer, and it wasn’t like he had much opportunities to dance in the first place. It was always work for him and if he were to be invited to charity events, he would mostly walk around and mingle with prospective clients and business partners. He knew that you loved to dance, though. Waking up with your side of the bed empty, he would see you dancing around in the kitchen, singing along with your Spotify playlist. You would drag him closer and make him spin you around, which was the extent of his dancing abilities.

A grin automatically spread across his face as you spun around, your light pink dress fanning around you. That morning, you had to leave the hotel early to help Anne get ready for the wedding, so he couldn’t see you in that dress. He sat in the front row and was rendered speechless as you walked to the front, leading the rest of the bridesmaids. The way your (y/h/c) fell off your shoulders and down your back, the way the dress fitted perfectly around you and flowed around your feet as if you were floating. He couldn’t keep his eyes away from you.

You met Carlton’s eyes and smiled, turning to disappear into the growing crowd on the dance floor.

“Excuse me,” a small voice said next to him.

Carlton looked down and saw the same boy that was latched to Eddie. He smiled at him. “Hey, there, little buddy.”

“Princess (Y/n) said to give you this,” the boy said, holding up a pink flower crown and a rose with a note on it.

Carlton took them both, reading the note that was clearly in your handwriting. The boy had scurried off into the crowd as soon as his job was done.

“Meet me in the garden, my prince,” it read. “P.S. Yes, you do have to wear the flower crown.”

He chuckled, remembering the time you told him he looked like a Disney prince wearing a suit and had tried to convince him to dress up as Aladdin during Halloween. When he saw you in your Princess Jasmine costume, the two of you couldn’t make it to your friend’s costume party.

He got up and made his way outside, ducking away from the party and into the still night. The garden was well lit with solar powered lights lining the pathways and fairy lights strewn across the trees and around the gazebo where you waited. Petals were scattered on the stone pathway that led to the gazebo, a small set of speakers sitting on the steps next to your phone.

“You know, I should be the one making these surprise events,” Carlton said, drawing your attention away from the rest of the garden. He walked up to the gazebo and kissed your hand. “My princess, you’ve summoned me?”

“Yes, I have, my prince,” you said, playing along. You took the flower crown from his hand and placed on his head with a satisfied smirk. “Dance with me.”

“(Y/n/n)… ”

“It’s just us here, Car. Please,” you pleaded.

Carlton drooped his head as he thought it over. Although he was frowning, it was hard to take him seriously with that crown on his head and he really looked cute with it on.

“Okay, okay, just… don’t get mad when I step on your shoes or your dress, okay?” he said.

You grabbed his face and peppered it with kisses before turning and setting up the music on your phone. A string of melodic chords filled the gazebo as the music started. You led Carlton to the middle, wrapping your arms around his neck. He chuckled, almost nervously, as he fought the urge to look at his feet placement.

Wise men say… only fools rushed in… But I… can’t… help… falling in love… with… you…

He attentively placed his hands on your waist and drew you in closer. You decided to lead first until he got the hang of it, swaying side to side, but never breaking eye contact with him. You smiled as he grew more confident in his steps and allowed him to guide you around the gazebo. Your heart fluttered under his soft gaze, feeling so loved and adored as he admired how you look under the fairy lights.

“You’re perfect,” he whispered under his breath.

“I’m not,” you said, ducking your head.

He lifted your chin with his fingers. “You are. (Y/n), when I first saw you in that dress… seeing you down that aisle… It’s like I’ve fallen in love with you all over again.”

“Who knew the big CEO of Life Industries was a big sap? If Tony Stark heard you, he’d be gagging right now,” you teased.

Carlton rolled his eyes playfully. “Please, don’t bring up that billionaire playboy ever again.”

“And philanthropist, Mr. San Fran’s most eligible bachelor,” you added.

He sighed. “I don’t know why they keep saying I’m an eligible bachelor when I have you.”

“Maybe they think I’m not good enough for you.”

“Which I find ridiculous because it took me so long chasing after you and to have you notice me. You were just so intelligent and beautiful and funny, and I thought I wasn’t going to be good enough for you. Plus, you were friends with Eddie who hated me back in school. At least Anne was kind to me. She was the one that told me about you. I never thought you’d ever see me more than a friend.”

You laughed. “Well, back then I never really thought of being in a relationship. I had these goals set out before me and I felt that having a relationship will set things back. This was all coming from a place where the people I had been interested in hadn’t fully supported my goals and I felt discouraged. I never thought I’d find someone that would actually just… fit, you know, like a puzzle piece. It just felt right with you, but I was scared to rush things. I didn’t want to ruin our friendship.”

“Well,” he paused to twirl you around, “You’re still my best friend, but more.”

“Yeah? You’re going to give me that soulmate speech?”

Carlton chuckled. “No, we both know it by heart, just by looking at each other.”

So, take my hand… take my whole life, too… for I… can’t… help… falling in love… with… you…

For I… can’t… help… falling in love… with… you…

Legendary Gauntlet (Entei/Azelf/Cobalion) - Clears

Alright, I’m calling it quits at 120 wins.  I feel decently about this.  I mean, I felt really good about it until comparisons kicked in, and I noticed the #4 spot is at like 110 with maybe 200 sync pairs used, and the top spot is at like 154.  But I knew this would happen.  Still, bad mood today.  Not the game’s fault.  Anyway!  I figured I’d list out my teams, for those interested.  I’ll try to avoid commenting on every team, but some had something interesting to talk about.

The structure is Support/Tank, Striker, Tech.  I’m not going to list the function of the Eggmon, unless they’re in an odd spot, like a support not being the tank.

Final Thoughts Perhaps unsurprisingly, Azelf was the most difficult of the three.  We have a surprising abundance of Paralysis bots, and plenty of powerful damage dealers to abuse Burn as well if needed, so Cobalion...wasn’t too tough.  Entei’s really easy so long as you have a flinch rate, although the later fights really emphasize what a problem Entei’s bulk is when you’re not like...crazy good on your own merits.

Now, I know what you may be thinking.  “Crystal, why did you do this?  I thought you weren’t going to after last Gauntlet.”  Well, a few reasons.  One is, 100 wins gets you enough 5* powerup tickets to 20/20 a sync pair.  So it’s the goal forever now.  The other is, 100 wins isn’t too difficult to achieve at this point for me, what with how many support pairs I’ve accumulated.  Some are difficult fights, but we can manage.  Lastly...none of these fights suck.

A major issue with Gauntlet is the layout.  Latias sucks, because at the second bar, you run into the random bullshit of “oops, all your attacks keep missing despite your best efforts, and the otherwise clean run just tanked for no reason!  Sucks to suck!”  Moltres has the same issue.  Missed a quad queue on May?  Burns for everyone.  Some of these fights rely so heavily on RNG to carry them forward that they’re intolerable, and the heavily you fall back on needing a flinch rate, the worse the fight.  Cobalion, Entei, and Azelf are all pretty fair.  They can’t do anything too stupid to you.  Cobalion is answered with status and a physical wall.  Entei is answered by any level of flinch rate given how weak it is to them.  Azelf is answered by the Stalwart/Unbending combo and sleep.  So once things got rolling, even when I had to retry, I rarely had to retry repeatedly for optimal RNG shenanigans like I had to do constantly for bitch bird and fuckjet.

[ARTICOLO] I più grandi showmen: uno sguardo esclusivo nel mondo dei BTS

“Forse li avrete visti stipati sui divanetti sotto i riflettori di Ellen DeGeneres e di Jimmy Fallon, mentre scambiano battute leggere in due lingue con i presentatori affascinati. Forse è stato quando hanno parlato solennemente della salute mentale e dell’amore per sé stessi all’Assemblea Generale delle Nazioni Unite lo scorso settembre, o quando delle urla da delfino collettive li hanno accolti lo scorso febbraio ai Grammy vestiti con completi simili e con i capelli tinti di varie sfumature color pastello.

O magari è sulla copertina di questo giornale che avete davvero notato i BTS per la prima volta. (Cose più strane sono successe nel 2019). Ma pare inconfutabile affermare che, nel corso degli ultimi due anni, i sette ragazzi hanno conquistato il mondo: due album al primo posto nella classifica Billboard nel giro di tre mesi, più di cinque miliardi di streaming in totale su Apple Music e su Spotify, una serie di concerti sold-out dallo Staples Center di Los Angeles al celebre Wembley Stadium di Londra.

Tutto ciò non li rende propriamente la prima boyband a dominare un periodo culturale, ma il fatto che siano tutti nati e cresciuti in Corea, che cantino in coreano e che solo occasionalmente si può trovare l’inglese nelle loro canzoni ci fa pensare che sia qualcosa di totalmente nuovo. Si parla di un trend mondiale senza precedenti, dove la musica pop si muove senza barriere o confini anche quando la geopolitica sembra ritirarsi ulteriormente dietro linee definite e muri altissimi.

Durante un luminoso giorno di marzo a Seoul, cinque settimane prima del rilascio del loro nuovo mini-album ‘Map of the Soul: Persona’, la band è rintanata nella sua agenzia, la BigHit Entertainment, per prepararsi. Palazzi come questo sono il luogo dove la maggior parte della magia del K-pop avviene, anche se la sede della BigHit, situata in una silenziosa traversa nel distretto di Gangnam (sì, lo stesso di cui Psy ha cantato nella sua hit del 2012 ‘Gangnam Style’) assomiglia molto a qualsiasi altro ufficio informatico: eleganti corridoi ricoperti di cemento e varie sale conferenze dotate di mini-frigoriferi ben riforniti, giocattoli morbidi e qualche poltrona a sacco. Le uniche indicazioni del lavoro che viene svolto in questo luogo sono date da una teca piena di un numero sbalorditivo di targhe di riconoscimento per le vendite e statuette, e una gigantografia patinata dei BTS al loro concerto sold-out al Citi Field di New York dello scorso ottobre.

Alla fine di un lungo corridoio tutti e sette i membri aspettano e si preparano a preregistrare un video di ringraziamento per un premio di iHeartRadio che non hanno avuto la possibilità di ritirare di persona. A Jimin, con i capelli biondo platino e le labbra morbide come cuscini, stanno attentamente piastrando i capelli in una stanza guardaroba colma di attaccapanni con appesi vestiti neon e di jeans. Dozzine di paia di Nike e Converse immacolate sono ammucchiate in un angolo, una solitaria giacca di pelliccia dal colore che ricorda un gelato alla fragola si trova su un appendiabiti dietro di lui, quasi come un Fraggle abbandonato. [N/B: burattini della serie Muppet]

Jungkook, il più piccolo del gruppo a 21 anni, resta obbedientemente seduto su una sedia pieghevole nella sala di danza mentre sistemano i capelli anche a lui. J-Hope appare con una camicia bianca decorata con una stampa oversize di Bart Simpson, poi sorride e sparisce. Suga, V e Jin stanno seduti sui divanetti nella stanza a fianco, guardano il loro telefono e occasionalmente cantano qualche strofa di ‘My Bad’ di Khalid, star americana dell’R&B. Il ventiquattrenne RM, leader di fatto del gruppo e unico fluente nell’inglese, è l’ultimo ad arrivare.

Ripetono il loro discorso davanti ad una telecamera e fanno forse quattro o cinque riprese finché il regista non è soddisfatto. Poi si sistemano in una saletta arieggiata per chiacchierare, accompagnati dal loro storico traduttore, un grande, amabile uomo calvo vestito elegantemente, chiamato John. (Tutte le risposte dei membri, tranne quelle di RM, passano attraverso di lui.)

Dopo molte settimane dai loro primi Grammy sono ancora su di giri per l’esperienza che hanno vissuto: presentare il premio a H.E.R. per il miglior album R&B; chiacchierare con Shawn Mendes nel bagno degli uomini – “Pensavo ‘Devo dirgli chi sono?’” ricorda Jimin “Ma poi lui mi ha salutato per primo. È stato davvero bello” – ed essere seduti ad un lancio di paillettes da Dolly Parton. (“Lei era proprio di fronte a noi!” ricorda meravigliato JungKook “Incredibile.”)

Rimangono ancora felicemente meravigliati dalle altre celebrità e vedere i BTS in carne ed ossa innesca lo stesso disorientante, ma non sgradevole, senso di irrealtà. Sullo schermo la band appare bella in modo sconcertante; una sorta di avatar senza pori, quasi una bellezza postgender che sembra esistere nei loro filtri Snapchat della vita reale. Dal vivo sono comunque esageratamente di bell’aspetto ma in una maniera più riconoscibile, più giovanile: frange scompigliate, occasionalmente con il labbro screpolato o una piccola (okay, minuscola) imperfezione. Se togli le scarpe Balenciaga e le discrete doppie C degli accessori Chanel possono quasi diventare i ragazzi carini che frequentano il college seduti accanto a te in un bar o sul treno.

Se non fosse che i trasporti pubblici o l’andare in uno Starbucks hanno smesso di essere un’opzione per i BTS molto tempo fa. A Seoul le loro facce sono esposte nei negozi di makeup, sui cartelloni per strada e sui lati degli autobus – persino su un enorme cartellone digitale che viene comprato e pagato da privati per festeggiare il compleanno di uno degli amati membri, o anche solo così per farlo. In città come São Paulo, Tokyo e Parigi i fan si accampano fuori per giorni prima di concerti o apparizioni in pubblico, scambiandosi ossessivamente curiosità e avvistamenti. Quando la band ha postato il video per la #InMyFeelingsChallenge di Drake (il loro) è diventato il tweet più piaciuto del 2018. In estate Mattel rilascerà la linea ufficiale di bambole dei BTS.

Nel centro di questo uragano di fama i ragazzi sono riusciti a trovare qualche spazio di normalità. Jimin ricorda nostalgicamente quella volta che a Chicago sono riusciti a sgattaiolare fuori dalle loro stanze d’hotel senza farsi scoprire “in tarda notte, solo per prendere un po’ d’aria.” Ma molti luoghi, ammette, “sono davvero fuori discussione” a meno che non si dividano in piccoli gruppi. “Voglio dire, guardateci,” ha aggiunto RM ridendo e passandosi una mano tra i capelli argento. “Sette ragazzi con i capelli tinti! È davvero troppo.”

Preferiscono focalizzarsi sulle cose che sanno fare come uscire di nascosto per andare a vedere film (“Sempre il primissimo o l’ultimissimo spettacolo del giorno,” dice RM, se vogliono passare inosservati), shopping online (V ama eBay, specialmente per i vestiti), andare a pescare, giocare a StarCraft a casa. Vivere insieme al gruppo è una cosa comune tra i cantanti K-pop e sembra che i BTS apprezzino questa condivisione: “Viviamo insieme da un bel po’ ormai, quasi otto, nove anni,” ha detto Jimin. “All’inizio abbiamo avuto molte discussioni e conflitti, ma abbiamo ormai raggiunto il punto in cui possiamo comunicare senza parole, praticamente ci capiamo guardandoci l’un l’altro o leggendo le espressioni.”

Sebbene siano immancabilmente educati e attenti durante le interviste, c’è una certa quantità di caos contenuto quando si trovano tutti insieme - una sorta di ciclone di cuccioli affetti dalla sindrome da nuotatore fatto di spintoni giocosi, pacche sulla schiena e strette di mano complicate - ma anche una sorprendente e affascinante dolcezza nel modo in cui si trattano a vicenda nei momenti più tranquilli. Quando una domanda viene posta al gruppo, si impegnano duramente per fare in modo che la voce di tutti venga ascoltata e se qualcuno sta avendo difficoltà a trovare una parola, allungano velocemente le braccia per dare un colpetto rassicurante sul ginocchio o un abbraccio di lato.

Perfino con la barriera linguistica presente dovuta al fatto di dover parlare con un giornalista americano, le loro personalità individuali cominciano ad emergere fin dall’inizio. Una volta richiesto loro di nominare il loro primo ricordo pop, le risposte si dirigono nelle direzioni più disparate. “Adoravo ‘Stickwitu’ delle Pussycat Dolls” dice J-Hope, il ballerino più abile del gruppo, schioccando le dita e canticchiando il ritornello. Per RM, che ha cominciato nella scena rap underground di Seul, è “Love Yourself” di Eminem. (“Penso che sia tipo la scelta della vita per così tante persone in giro per il mondo” ammette “ma non posso dimenticare il giorno in cui ho guardato per la prima volta 8 Mile e ho sentito il suono delle chitarre. Quella è stata la mia svolta.”). Per Jungkook, che ha rilasciato cover di canzoni di Justin Bieber e Troye Sivan, è la ballad immortale della Lite-FM (N/B: una stazione radio che manda in onda solo canzoni pop) “Now and Forever” di Richard Marx.

Suga dalla voce dolce cita “Imagine” di John Lennon in quanto “prima canzone di cui mi sono innamorato” e il momento diventa l’occasione appropriata per chiedere dove i BTS si vedano nel pantheon dei rubacuori musicali che i Fantastici Quattro hanno essenzialmente inventato. “A volte è davvero imbarazzante quando qualcuno ci chiama i Beatles del XXI secolo o cose del genere”, ammette RM. “Ma se vorranno chiamarci boy band allora saremo una boy band. Se vorranno chiamarci gruppo maschile allora saremo un gruppo maschile. Se vorranno chiamarci K-pop allora a noi starà bene K-pop.” Ah, il K-pop. In Corea del Sud, dove il genere è diventato non solo un eccellente prodotto culturale ma anche un export dal valore di miliardi di dollari, i giocatori noti come “idol” si sottopongono ad un'istruzione alla Saranno Famosi (N/B: un famoso film che narra le vicende di un gruppo di aspiranti cantanti, attori e ballerini) in canto e ballo e allenamenti che spesso vanno avanti per anni prima di essere considerati pronti per il palcoscenico. Tutto ciò ha i suoi risultati: il business sta prosperando dall’inizio degli anni 90, grazie a star che vanno dalle Girls’ Generation a G-Dragon e che hanno attratto vari mercati attraverso tutta l’Asia, l’Europa e il continente americano. Tuttavia, mentre il sound è rimasto piuttosto coerente - un mix astuto di beat pronti per le discoteche, cori super addolciti e le inflessioni più urbane dell’hip-hop e dell’R&B occidentali - non è mai atterrato con lo stesso impatto fulmineo dei BTS.

Bang Sihyuk, il CEO e fondatore della Big Hit, ha cominciato a mettere insieme il gruppo nel 2010, quando tutti i membri erano o ventenni o adolescenti: RM e Suga stavano iniziando a farsi conoscere nella scena locale; Jimin e J-Hope studiavano danza nelle accademie dedite alle arti dello spettacolo; V, che si è concentrato sul canto fin dai primi periodi, si è aggiunto ufficialmente nel 2013 (N/B: la data potrebbe essere inesatta.). Jin era un aspirante attore reclutato in mezzo alla strada per il suo aspetto sconvolgente; Jungkook, ora uno dei principali vocalist del gruppo, si è unito quando andava ancora alle scuole medie.

Sebbene i fansite tentino di fare affidamento sulle loro differenze extracurriculari (Jungkook è un Vergine che adora la pizza! V colleziona cravatte e sbatte i denti mentre dorme!), ognuno dei membri è genuinamente responsabile di un ruolo unico nel processo creativo del gruppo, indipendentemente che si tratti della produzione, della scrittura dei testi o dei maxi motivi musicali su cui si basano le canzoni.

“Con sette membri abbiamo sette gusti differenti, ovviamente” dice RM. “Perciò quando si tratta di scrivere testi è come una grande competizione.” Talvolta, aggiunge J-Hope, “scriviamo dei versi e decidiamo che ‘Questo un po’ riflette meglio chi sono e il mio colore’, perciò vogliamo tenerli per canzoni da solisti.”

Siccome la Big Hit non limita il loro diritto a incanalare alcune idee in progetti secondari - e siccome l'appetito online per materiale fornito dai BTS è apparentemente insaziabile - i membri regolarmente rilasciano lavori da solisti attraverso EP, SoundCloud e mixtape. Ma l'impatto primario arriva sempre attraverso le uscite degli album ufficiali e gli argomenti particolarmente profondi di cui trattano le canzoni - una deviazione notevole dai limitati argomenti, talvolta strenuamente ottimistici, di cui gli altri artisti K-pop solitamente trattano.

“Ho promesso ai membri sin dall’inizio che la musica dei BTS debba provenire dalle loro storie personali” dice Bang; la loro conseguente apertura sulle loro difficoltà con depressione, insicurezza e la pressione a conformarsi li ha portati addirittura fino alle Nazioni Unite lo scorso autunno dove RM ha menzionato la campagna della band Love Myself e la collaborazione con l'UNICEF #ENDviolence destinata ai giovani.

“Si fanno notare,” dice il DJ e produttore nippo-americano Steve Aoki, un artista dance primo nelle vendite mondiali che ha anche collaborato con il gruppo su diverse tracce. “E non sto parlando solo di K-pop. Aggiungono così tanta personalità alla musica, nelle loro storie e in come si presentano. E il mondo si è innamorato di loro perché mostrano quel lato vulnerabile che tutti vogliono vedere.”

Aiuta anche che i messaggi più evidenziati dal gruppo spesso siano fatti scivolare nell'aura appiccicosa di inni come “No More Dream”, “Dope” e “Am I Wrong”. Ma apprezzano sempre l'opportunità, dice Suga, di diventare “un po’ più schietti, un po’ più aperti.” RM elabora: “Penso sia un dilemma interminabile per ogni artista quanto essere franchi ed onesti. Ma noi cerchiamo di rivelarci il più possibile.”

Ovviamente l'onestà ha i suoi limiti quando sei la più la grande band nel mondo. Chiesti di descrivere il nuovo album, in uscita il 12 aprile (alla stampa, ha già raggiunto i 2,5 milioni di preordini), i membri offrono indizi criptici ma entusiastici come “terapeutico” e “vivacità rinfrescante.” Ad essere sinceri, non possono dir molto in parte perché la scaletta dell'album non è ancora stata realmente completata - decisioni dell'ultimo minuto un lusso di produzioni fatte in casa - anche se sono d'accordo sul riprodurre una canzone, un pezzo propulsivo e pieno di rap chiamato “Intro: Persona.” (È stato rilasciato come teaser il 27 marzo.)

Quando si tratta di domande più personali riguardanti le difficoltà degli appuntamenti o gli obiettivi che potrebbero voler perseguire dopo i BTS, virano con così tanta grazia verso risposte evasive e non specifiche che è quasi difficile non rimanere impressionati; è come guardare una diplomatica coreografia su ghiaccio. Vogliono far sapere che sono incredibilmente grati per la devozione dei loro fan e sono così fortunati ad essere esattamente dove si trovano; che non pensano veramente a pianificare i prossimi 5/10 anni.

Diventano tuttavia più riflessivi quando viene tirato fuori l’argomento della classifica Hot100 dei singoli, il Sacro Graal del pop americano. Lo scorso anno, con “Fake Love”, si sono guadagnati un posto tra le prime dieci posizioni, ma non hanno ancora raggiunto quelle più alte, soprattutto dal momento che le stazioni radio più importanti degli Stati Uniti continuano a passare poco la loro musica, il che è un fattore che incide molto sulle posizioni di suddetta classifica.

“Dovrà essere una canzone grandiosa”, riconosce Suga, “ma d’altra parte c’è tutta una strategia da applicare per poter scalare quella classifica e serve una certa dose di fortuna, ovviamente. Per questo motivo quello che conta per noi è solo fare buona musica, buone performance e combinare insieme questi due elementi.” Chiediamo loro se un successo in lingua spagnola del 2017 come “Despacito”, canzone rimasta al primo posto per la cifra record di sedici settimane consecutive, li renda più ottimisti. “Sa, il pop latino-americano ha i suoi Grammy, in America, ed è un po’ diverso”, dice pensieroso RM. “Non voglio fare paragoni, ma credo che in quanto gruppo asiatico sia ancora più difficile. I nostri obiettivi sono la Hot100 e una nomination ai Grammy. Sono solo obiettivi, però, non vogliamo cambiare la nostra identità e la nostra genuinità per arrivare primi. Se ad esempio noi cominciassimo a cantare unicamente in inglese, o cambiassimo altre cose, non saremmo più i BTS. Faremo tutto il possibile, ci proveremo, ma se non dovessimo guadagnare il primo posto o il quinto, andrebbe bene comunque”.

Aoki, invece, è convinto del fatto che riusciranno a raggiungere questo traguardo. [Ha detto infatti:] “Penso che sia al cento per cento possibile che una canzone cantata interamente in coreano arrivi in cima alla classifica Hot100. È qualcosa a cui credo fermamente, come credo fermamente al fatto che i BTS siano quel gruppo in grado di farcela. Spianerebbero la strada a tanti altri, cosa che comunque stanno già facendo, e quando questo accadrà, ci sarà da festeggiare”.   

Ma di ritorno alla BigHit, il gruppo ha un lavoro molto più immediato da fare. RM ci concede la possibilità di fare un veloce tour del suo studio (ogni membro ha uno spazio a lui dedicato nell’edificio). La porta d’accesso è sorvegliata da uno stravagante raggruppamento di statuine realizzate dal rinomato street artist KAWS, ma entrando, in modo piuttosto contraddittorio, sembra di mettere piede in un piccolo, lussuoso lodge del Sundance in cui per puro caso c’è anche un mixer: troviamo un bel tavolino da caffè realizzato con un unico pezzo di legno di noce nero, tappeti in stile Navajo, opere d’arte di buon gusto sulle pareti. RM parla con nonchalance della sua ammirazione per produttori come Zedd e i The Neptunes (“Pharrell Williams e Chad Hugo erano davvero i miei idoli tra il 2006 e il 2007. E la voce di Pharrell! Il suo modo di cantare è così sexy!”, dice), e poi ci mostra di cosa è capace (“nel fare i beat Suga è decisamente più bravo di me. Non so nemmeno suonare il piano, faccio solo gli accordi così”, insiste imitando il personaggio dei “Muppet” che digita istericamente sulla tastiera).

Si torna nella sala prove dove i membri, dopo essersi cambiati per indossare pantaloni della tuta e magliette, sono pronti per rivedere alcuni passi con un coreografo. Si comincia con una sorta di formazione a triangolo e una rotazione del bacino che si trasforma in una combinazione di altri movimenti pelvici, ma è tutto molto più innocente di quanto non sembri, dal momento che i ragazzi continuano a fermarsi per ridere tra loro. Ben presto, però, si ricompongono e iniziano a ripetere i passi finchè non sembrano frizzanti, ma facili, come se li stessero eseguendo senza troppo sforzo. Questo ci sembra il momento adatto per andarcene; veniamo accompagnati all’uscita da un coro felice e chiassoso di saluti da parte dei membri, che poi si voltano verso lo specchio e riprendono a ballare”.
