Yandere Super Junior D&E Headcannons (SFW and NSFW)

Summary: Just a headcannon of one of my favorite 2nd gen kpop duos being yandere.

Warnings: mentions of murder, male reader, nsfw elements, not a lot of knowledge of D&E themselves, I WILL NOT DO ANY UNWILLING READERS OR NON-CON OR DUBCON

Eunhyuk

SFW Version

Eunhyuk can be kind of scary when you first meet him. Mostly due to the fact you often get bullied by mean boys.

But, he's actually a sweetheart, and wants to become your friend.

What you don't realise is that Eunhyuk wants to keep you to himself

But to your naïve ass, he just wants to be your best friend. Well, your only friend.

So, when you get attacked by those bullies again, Eunhyuk takes matters into his own hands by murdering them and taking you for himself...

He was prepared incase you said no to his love, so he kept you chained up until you "accept his love". Even though you didn't know what was going on.

You soon get sick of this waiting game, so you try calling him - only your mouth is taped shut. Great.

Eunhyuk soon realises that something's not right, so he finally removes the tape from your mouth.

"Why did you chain me up? I may be kinky at times, but this is just getting annoying."

By god, you shouldn't have said that, as a giant blush forms on Eunhyuk's face...

"...What? I kidnapped you! For love! This is not a kink!"

And when you start trying to kiss him, Eunhyuk finally gives in. Guess that backfired.

NSFW

He's not a sub, but he's not a dom either.

A switch? Yes.

Praises can make him feel empowered, even when you're under him.

He like's scratching your face. Like a cat.

He says that it will remind people of who you belong to, which you laughed and said,

"Who? A cat?"

You shouldn't have said that.

He can get rough with you, either bouncing on you like there's no tomorrow, or thrusting so hard that you think that your guts just got rearranged.

You're his fucktoy, and he's yours.

He hates going soft on you, because one time you were whining that he was going too slow on your dick.

He loves making you beg, making you scream.

Of course there is a safe word for both of you incase things go too far, he's not a monster.

But the safeword's so ironic...

It's called "Yangire"....help.

But the aftercare...

you might as well be a s'more, because he's a baby during it.

But he often has his moments when he thinks he hurt you, and feels bad...

Just give him lots of cuddles, okay?

Other times his yandere side softly claws against your skin, whispering soft noises...

"You're mine...babyboy..."

"If I can't have you, no one can, got it?"

"Just let me admire your face, pretty boy."

Donghae

SFW

You weren't so sure if you had found the right guy when you met Donghae, because he was so...well...

Submissive.

Not only were you stalking him, you were basically controlling him.

You saw him as a puppy who couldn't do no harm. A messy little dog.

But, oh boy...you were proved wrong...

After some woman was making very indecent remarks at you, Donghae begged the lady to leave you two alone.

But, the dumbass just thought he was an idiot(I can't say the other word).

Soon, Donghae excused himself to have a breath of fresh air. You just thought he needed space.

What he actually meant was that he needed to kill her.

When Donghae finally came back in, he did not have the same puppy eyes. In fact, those eyes were piercing into yours.

And there was a little bit of blood dripping down his lips. With you piecing it all together, you waited before you got home.

When you arrived, Donghae left out a chuckle. "You knew, didn't you?"

"Knew what?" You asked.

"About what I did to that plastic bitch..." he growled whilst grabbing your face.

"N-no-" You tried to feign nervousness, until he finally kisses you. Full of passion and hunger, well, more so from your side.

"Why didn't you tell me that you took photo's of me before you met? You naughty, naughty boy," Donghae let put a purr before kissing your neck.

NSFW

Now, unlike Eunhyuk, Donghae doesn't mind holding back. Also, his patience is almost unbreakable. Unless he's extremely needy.

Although he is a dom, he loves being the one under you as well. Even then, his dominance still oozes out.

If you're the one fucking him, then be prepared for low grunts, and a lot of praising.

"Oh, baby boy~ Don't you dare stop, I want your load dripping out of me~"

"Come on, now~ Don't give up just yet~"

If he's popping your cherry, well then good luck getting out without a few marks on you.

He's like a wolf. Marking his territory. Making beautiful scars on your body that you'd admire afterwards.

"Doesn't complete surrender feel good?" *scratches your neck*

"You're so sweet, holding out for me~"

And the aftercare...man. He always makes you feel loved with his touches and kisses and gentle whispers. If you had a dom drop at one point, he'd reassure you with a sweet kiss.

"You're a sweet boy, baby boy, you almost made me cry with bliss. I may reward you later..." *nuzzles against your neck*

He'd let you rest on his chest and lull you to sleep, caressing your body. Your hips, your face, your chest, your thighs. Donghae would make sure that you felt comfortable.

Unlikely Match [ J.M ]

summary: You found yourself stumbling into Bellamy's tent at a really inconvenient moment, experiencing your first heartbreak, never expecting John Murphy to be the one to pick up the pieces.

pairings: john murphy x griffin!reader, slight bellamy blake x griffin!reader

warnings: angst, swearing, mentions of sex

A/N: This is an au for maggie's (@slytherinbarnes) bellamy blake series called 'sub rosa'. It isn't necessary for you to read it before this but I'd recommend you to because it's amazing! Also, this was supposed to be longer but my phone deleted it the first time I wrote it so this is the rewritten version

𝗆𝖺𝗌𝗍𝖾𝗋𝗅𝗂𝗌𝗍

You wouldn't call this a usual day at the delinquent camp, but it was close enough. Especially after everything you experienced in the past week. From a kid jumping off a cliff in front of you and making a decision to banish one of your own, to a mechanic flying down to Earth in a pod so you could contact The Ark and to John Murphy stumbling into camp, beaten up and carrying a disease you can't remember the exact details of the situation - that was always your sister's stronger side - but you can remember it spread like wildfire and it created complete chaos in camp.

But that was what the grounders wanted. To start killing your people off one by one from the inside. And John was the key. 

You didn't blame him for it of course, he wasn't aware that the grounders made him a walking contagious disease. But he was aware he gave them information about everything he knew about your camp so yeah, you were a little pissed about that.

Not as much as Bellamy was though, if you asked him he'd let John back into the woods without the care if the grounders captured him or not. You and your twin sister - Clarke Griffin - cared though and that was the only reason he was in camp right now and not running around the woods, alone.

You remembered Bellamy's words when you told him John wouldn't be a danger to camp. 

"Fine, he can stay. But he doesn't leave this camp or get a gun. He's your responsibility. So if he does anything, it's on you."

Truth is, Bellamy didn't mean what he said. He was just pissed John was staying after everything that happened with Charlotte. He knew it and you knew it too, so you brushed off his words and went back to camp, still choosing to keep a close eye on John during the next few days.

Now, you were making your way to Bellamy's tent. You weren't sure if you were going inside to apologize for how harsh your words towards him were during your fight or if you were coming to him as one leader to another so you could set things right and make the job of leading easier.

Deep down, you knew it was the first option but you didn't want to face your true feelings for him just yet. You wanted to at least wait until the war with the grounders was over before starting anything with him.

You stepped into the tent, calling his name, only to come face to face with a scene you never wanted to see again, it made you feel both nauseous and mad. 

Raven stopped putting her shirt on and her eyes widened at the sight of your figure standing at the entrance of the tent. You quickly put your hand over your chest, blocking out Bellamy's wide, guilt-written eyes.

"Sorry--" you stammered "I-- uh some people aren't back from hunting yet, so come find me when you're . . . done."

Ignoring Bellamy calling your name, you turned around and made your way past the delinquents that were still outside their tents and to the camp gate. The two kids that were guarding the gate were Miller and Starling, knew not to question why you - one of their leaders - was going outside camp, especially after seeing you already had a gun on you, and they let you out.

You needed to clear your head, the picture of Bellamy and Raven in the same bed half-naked was tattooed in your brain and you needed to get it out before you explode. You needed Clarke. But Clarke was still out with Finn and Myles, probably lost and you needed to find her but to do that you'd have to be able to look Bellamy in the eyes and you knew you wouldn't be able to do that.

A snap of a twig made you aim your gun - which you still didn't know how to shoot properly - at the bush the noise came from.

"Relax, Princess. I'm not planning on killing you anytime soon."

You recognized the voice belonged to John Murphy and immediately dropped the gun "What the hell, Murphy?"

He cleared his throat awkwardly "I uh-- saw you run out and then I saw Raven coming out of Bellamy's tent so I kinda connected the dots."

"And you were allowed out of camp why?"

"Because Miller saw it too and got worried so he let me out." John admitted, looking at you almost sheepishly.

You nodded in understanding and looked back down. The two of you never really interacted at a time he wasn't an asshole or tried to kill someone. He was the camp's psychopath and you were the invisible Griffin twin that hid in her parent's closet.

"Why wouldn't you kill me?" you asked hesitantly "I'm one of the reasons you got banished."

He nodded, rubbing his chin slightly "Yeah but you're also the reason I'm allowed to stay here. Plus telling Bellamy you'd keep an eye on me isn't a job anyone would take."

"How do you--"

"You're not very subtle." he interrupted with a chuckle "I saw you following me around camp with your eyes too many times for me to count."

Now it was your turn to smile sheepishly "Sorry."

"It's fine." John brushed it off with a shrug before noticing the sadness in your eyes and speaking up again "Bellamy's an idiot, you know that right?"

You scoffed at his words and shook your head only for him to speak up again "Well only an idiot would choose a one night stand over Y/N Griffin."

Both of you were surprised by the sincerity in his words. John felt a sudden feeling of vulnerability shoot through his body and he didn't like it one bit so he quickly plastered on his usual cocky smirk and added "I mean if you ever want to get back at him I'm right here."

You gave him a deadpan look "In your dreams, Murphy."

I mean yeah. He thought bluntly before shaking those thoughts away and grinning "Never said you need to sleep with me, Princess. There'd be a little payback both ways by making the king jealous. Just sayin'."

"Wouldn't you like that? you chuckled teasingly.

Yes he would. Because John Murphy could never get himself to figure out why someone as smart and as beautiful as you could fall for someone like Bellamy Blake. It's not like he's any better, but it just made him dislike the male even more.

"You know he doesn't deserve you, right?" John asked after a bit of surprisingly peaceful silence.

You just shrugged at his words, nor believing a word he said. But not because he had a habit of lying every time he opened his annoyingly smartass mouth. It was because you really couldn't see it. Raven was beautiful, the smartest person in camp, if not on Earth, and everything you didn't think you were.

Why would anyone think any different?

Noticing you didn't believe his words, John sighed and gave you a small smile "Well for your information, I'd pick you over anyone else any day."

"I thought the big bad Murphy didn't need anyone."

He stared at you for a few seconds with something unrecognizable in his eye and you were about to open your mouth to ask if there was something on your face when he beat you to it "Do you even know what my real name actually is?"

You narrowed your eyes in thought before a look of realization passed over your face "Wait 'Murphy' isn't your real name?"

"No. But it's last name and I go by it. My first name is John."

Before you could stop yourself you let out a snort - some would say it was completely unattractive but John thought it was adorable - followed by a chuckle as you repeated his name in disbelief "John?"

Said bot squinted his eyes at your amused, no longer heartbroken face, and asked "What?"

You shook your head with another chuckle "I never would have pegged you for a 'John'." 

"And I never would have pegged you for a girl that falls for someone like Bellamy Blake." 

He didn't even realize what he said until he did and was about to apologize, maybe begged you not to slap him but you laughed instead and nodded in amused "Touché."

And that's how you spent the rest of the night, sitting on a log right outside of camp and talking. Sharing stories about how each of you grew up and growing closer than you thought you ever would with someone like John Murphy.

But I guess there's a first time for everything.

The Destiel Folder: Season 10

[Season 4; Season 5; Season 6; Season 7; Season 8; Season 9]

Episode 1:

Cas is slowly dying, practically naked, in a bed, and the first thing he says when talking about Dean is "I miss him" (6:35), with a soft smile. "Why would he just disappear?"

... I'm sorry but If Cas Were A Woman, this would look like a scene from a movie or something, where the wife talks to a friend over the phone about her missing husband. JUST SAYING

Crowley: "The girl seemed nice. Slightly damaged. I could see the old you falling for that." (9:29) uhm... who else is "nice and slightly" damaged? I don't know... CASTIEL??!!!

So... these two men (actors Todd Mann and Brad Mann) we see with the DemonGang, are real life twins (9:14).

At (27:18), Crowley states him and Dean did "extroardinary things to triplets" ... and, well, the only twins with a possible other sibling we see are... them

And this is not the first time we hear about Dean doing "things to triplets" with a buddy of his (15x07)... and the first time he was NOT a demon... so, there's that. And triplets don't necessarily mean "all females"

Cas, while talking about the good things that come with choices, mentions "hope, love, dreams" (39:06), and Hannah points out that "those are human things". Human things...

Cas is talking about his own personal experiences with creating chaos, so those are the things he felt after rebelling for... Dean... WOW. ICWAW, it would totally be read it as a reference to Dean. A romantic one. Fight me

Episode 2:

Cas is dying, just got back from a fight that left him wounded, doesn't have enough power to heal himself, is on a mission to restore Heaven, and once again he chooses to go save Dean (9:35), and the way rage builds in his eyes when learning Dean has become a demon. Look at this shit

I might be crazy, but this feels like a touching metaphor to me:

"I think you don't know what you want. Tell me, Dean. What are you? A demon? [...] Maybe you're human. [...] Why don't you do us all a great, big favor... and pick a bloody side!" (22:22)

METAPHOR

Episode 3:

We are reminded that, even tho in terrible conditions, on the verge of death, Cas is willing to risk it all to save Dean, and is devastated by the thought of Dean not making it (4:47 - 5:17)

This is so funny to me, I'm sorry, but Cas is so visibly uncomfortable with Hannah touching him, it's hilarious (15:58)

"I've been around humans for long enough to see how easily distractions occur. Emotions, feelings... They're dangerous temptations." (22:32) like rebelling against your own kind, destroying your home, falling... all for a human?

"I'm trying to keep our priorities clear." Moments earlier, Cas listed "Getting to Dean" (22:17) before anything else. In fact, Hannah says "I am very clear of my priorities... and yours." = Dean (23:00)

Cas is not sure whether the cure will kill Dean or not, and in any case, he wraps his arms around him, and softly says "It's over... Dean it's over." (35:40) as if hushing him to sleep, in what could have been their last moments together... wow. Think about this ICWAW

"Well, I can see his point. Only humans can feel real joy, but... also such profound pain. This is easier." (36:17) Look at the way Sam is looking at Cas looking at Dean

BITCH OKAY!!

SAM KNOWS

POSSIBILE future Empty reference "real joy"

Cas already stated he misses being human, but knows how fragile they are in both body and spirit:

Castiel really wants to be with Dean. For real. But maybe he thinks (see season 9) him being an angel is an obstacle to their feelings.

Only by being human he can truly be happy (MMMMMMHH SEASON 15), but isn't sure he could handle the pain that comes with it. A possible rejection, the thought of Dean dying, him leaving Dean... MMMMHHHHH

"You look terrible." [...] "Well, you, on the other hand, you... *checks out Cas* Looking good." (39:09) full homo right there. Also parallel with Ketch in 13x18 ("You don't look good." "Yeah, well, you're not my type, either.")

The way they are looking at each other here... man.

Cas is so happy to have Dean back, and Dean looks hurt about Cas leaving so soon.

"So... so, you're back?" "At least temporarily." (39:27) bitch, you know that's not what he ment.

In all of this, Cas is trying to make Dean feel better about the whole situation (DAT SMILE 40:18), and Dean replies with "I'm glad you're back, man.", basically no-homoing himself...

Cas starts walking out of the room, but stops and turns back [insert concerned husband here] (40:27), and Dean has that hopeful look in his eyes, like Cas is going to stay, and the hurtful look comes back as soon as Cas is gone

Episode 4:

"On your knees!" "Wow, I'm awfully flattered-" (34:33) SASSY BI DEAN IS THE DEAN WE DESERVE

Episode 5:

Fucking kill me NOW!!! Dean's reaction to Destiel is PRICELESS!! And even before he learns what that is, he just looks at the girls playing him and Cas and... freezes for a moment (13:18) And the eyebrow raise thingy at (13:34)... what's going on in your brain, Dean?

I'd like to point out that the Italian translation for "You can't spell 'subtext' without S-E-X" is, for once, AMAZING:

"It's just that... their bond is so strong it has subtext of a... sexual nature."

THANK YOU ITALIAN DUB! JUST THIS ONCE, THANK YOU! (13:43)

Also at (9:44) Dean immediately reacts to the implication of Wincest subtext, shutting it down and telling the girls to take a step back, but with Destiel he is like... alright

... this is so fucking cute, (25:54) Dean adjusts the girl playing Cas' tie so that it's messed up like the real Cas'. ADORABLE

SAM SHIPS IT (13:57) and is teasing the SHIT out of Dean, who reacts like someone being teased about their crush. Just saying (14:08 - 14:52) [AND THIS HAPPENS IN FRONT OF A PINK-BLUE WALL]

"I know I have expressed some differences of opinion regarding this version of Supernatural." (26:44) ... oookay meta? *turns to "Cas"* "And I want you to put as much sub into that text as you possibly can." ... oKAY?!

Episode 7:

Cas being extremely uncomfortable with women is too fucking funny to me (5:03 - 12:51)

Episode 9:

(15:13) Alright, so, this is a date... what now? Anyway, nice bi flannel, Dean. And the little sweet smiles you two are giving each other? So fucking precious (16:01)

"I ain't exactly a role model." "That's not true." (16:07) how Dean looks at Cas right after that? BABIES!

"How are you, Dean?" "Fine." "*I-call-bullshit look*" "I'm great!" "No, you're not." (16:18) #MARRIED

As Cas is choke-holding a guy, Dean, clearly amused (almost proudly), says "I'd do what he says." (22:17) Like that time with Raphael in 5x03, Dean likes it when Cas gets rough

Episode 10:

Shut the fuck up and marry each other already so you can finally actually BE the old married couple™️ you ALREADY ARE (22:17)

This is the "My husband is so FUCKING STUPID" look (22:30)

"I was hoping you might reach out to her." "... Me? I'm probably the last person she'd want to hear from." [...] "All I know... is she won't talk to me." (23:03) #MARRIED, PARENTS, PERIODT

Shut the fuck up. Cas is the dad trying to figure out technology (23:36) "I'll text you her number. I like texting. Emotions!" DAD

Cas worries about Dean like a wife would with an alcoholic husband

Of all the things Dean could be MAD about at Metateon... the first thing he can think of is him stealing Cas' grace (31:33) (okay, maybe he is going in chronological order but STILL)

Episode 11:

[I AM SO SO SO SORRY BUT DEAN USED THE ALIAS "PRESLEY" (18:55) I AM NOT OKAY]

Episode 14:

Have this deleted scene: Castiel and Crowley bitching over Dean, and Crowley calling Dean Cas' boyfriend

This is some hell of a goodbye-eye-love-making scene (26:57)

Cain compares himself to Dean... and CAS TO HIS WIFE COLLETTE [PARALLELS]

"You're living my life in reverse [...]

First you'd kill Crowley. You'd get it done, no remorse. (Cain had been killing his descendants, for whom he didn't care much)

And then you'd kill the angel, Castiel. Now, that one... that, I suspect, would hurt something awful. [And than Sam is Able, bla bla...]"

AM I WRONG?! YOU'RE GONNA LOOK AT ME AND TELL ME THAT I'M WRONG??!!!

Dean gives the First Blade to Cas... oKAY (37:10)

Worried brother-in-laws (41:27)

Episode 16:

This is such a good source of hidden meanings scene! Dean starts his "confession" as a scam. Everything he says at first is to attract the spirit.

He starts talking about seeing lots of women, not being able to control himself, and being sick of it. Then the real confession begins...

Dean feels he's going to die soon, and fears not death itself, but what he would be missing from his life.

"There's things... people, feelings that I... I would experience differently than I had before. Or even for the first time." (25:28) and the priest believes Dean is talking about love.

Well... "people, feelings"... who could he be referring to? Does Dean want love all of a sudden? People he wants to experience for the first time... uhmmmm... Is Dean opening up to his attraction to MEN??!! Or one angel in particular?

ICWAW we would guess Dean was talking about Cas

"Who mixes their blood and bones into paint? No woman has ever done that for me." (39:19) UHM- Dean, what about

6x20 "He has bled, died bla bla bla for us",

7x21 "I'm always happy to bleed for the Winchesters" or

9x22 "You just gave up an entire army for one guy"

ICWAW we would ALL roll our eyes at this statement and scream CAS

THE GUY BLED, LOST HIS HOME, REBELLED, DIED FOR YOU!! HE REBUILT YOU PIECE BY PIECE FROM HELL- SAVED YOU DOZENS OF TIMES!!!

Episode 17:

About saving Dean from the Mark: "We won't- (free Metatron)" "Yes, you will... because you're desperate." (9:44) Hannah knows. Let's remark that

"All I'm getting from you is... colours." (14:26) bitch he is a walking 🌈PRIDE FLAG🏳️‍🌈

Notice how, when we get a Sam-Cas centred episode, we don't get the same interactions with Dean-Cas? Why this?

Dean is always ready to call Cas a "brother", but the only one true bromance here is Sam and Cas'. There are no longing stares, no weird sexual filled dialogue nor tension, NO LONGING STARES

Facts, my people. Facts

Episode 18:

"You killed my friend." "Oh, pff, Dean is fine, mostly. Can't you get past that?" "Never." (12:39)

Charlie being excited about meeting Dean's famous boyfriend is WHOLESOME (37:34)

To have Cas back, 100%, safe and sound, is a win for Dean (38:58) and the face Cas makes after Dean hits him with another no-homo "It's good to have you back, pal." is "UHH not this again". Charlie already ships it

Episode 20:

A #MARRIED couple and their daughter. NO ARGUMENTS VALID (7:06)

Look at how they enter the motel (16:22)

OH MY GOOOOOD!!! #PARENTS coming back home from shopping!! THE HAND ON THE SHOULDER!!! Also

"Happy birthday. I got it at the Hot Topical" DAD

Dean: "Imma head back over there." Cas: "I'm coming with you." Claire: "I'm coming with you too." (17:24) #FAMILY

A fucking family comedy about a dad confronting the daughter's boyfriend and the other dad scolding him:

"What did you do to him?" "I didn't lay a hand on him!" "Dean, that isn't exactly true." "... Well, I didn't kill the guy." (17:14)

Surprisingly enough, this is not the first nor last time Dean acts like a dad to a lost child (AND TWO OF THESE TIMES THE KID IS SOMEHOW RELATED TO CAS) (21:54)

Episode 22:

C: "Claire, you are not going out there. [...] It's too dangerous. I can't let anything happen to you." D: "Claire, you're not going." C: "You're not either, Dean." D: "What?" (19:29)

#FAMILY DON'T TALK TO ME!

"No fighting. [...] Both of you." AAAAAA

This doesn't fucking matter, but Dean just said "... for the ladies. Or the fellas. I don't judge." (36:23)

Cas' speech to Dean... wow. "So if there's even a small chance that we can save you... I won't let you walk out of this room." (39:20)

I hate this scene. (40:11)

Dean is overwhelmed by Charlie's death, Sam and Cas' betrayal, the Mark changing him and all the other shit.

The Mark is taking over, and Dean can't (and won't) help it. Cas knows it. He doesn't want to hurt Dean. He is not even resisting. Doesn't put up a fight.

And just like Colette with Cain, Castiel only asks Dean one thing: "Stop." (40:38) [9x11]

Parallel to 8x07:

The only thing that stops Cas from killing Dean, is him begging, clutching onto his sleeve.

"Dean... please..." (41:08) Cas pleading Dean, clutching to his arm, makes him resist the urge to kill him.

Episode 23:

You can find gifs and the script of some deleted (destiel) scenes in this post by @charlie-minion

As the Mark eats Dean... he starts feeling guilt for the people he hurt... first on the list: Cas (14:54)

(This gif is not mine)

Well... what a season.

[Season 11>>]

[popliar]

Ateez in Seoul, 8 and 9 February 2020

Olympic Hall at Olympic Park

No one will believe this but I actually had my holiday with @flywithturtles planned before I knew the dates coincided with Ateez's Seoul concert dates. But it's true! I have the WhatsApp conversations to prove it!! Anyway I secured the tickets and all was well.

This is the first concert I've been to where they were handing out masks, making sure everyone had hand sanitizer and checking temperatures as you entered. Haha. Well they also checked our temperature going into the Line Friends store that day so, that's corona virus life. I was actually really worried the concerts would be cancelled, given so many other events have been, so it was a relief that it went ahead.

Structurally this is the same as the show I saw in August last year, after Wave/Illusion: starting hard with pirates, a lighter middle section, and a mythology-heavy last third. And then the encore which went for ages.

What's great to see is that the gaps and pacing downsides of the previous year have been corrected and improved. The pacing has been tightened up, the banter and ments flow much more smoothly and the show just feels very professional and well run.

Here's my post about last year's show: https://popliar.tumblr.com/post/187095347758/ateez-in-sydney-11-aug-2019

It's a shock to realise they've only been around one year four months but they were able to fill out a full 2.5 hour set, every song solid. And KQ spent proper money on this, the production was good - it's not like LAVISH but there were good stages and fancy screens and new VCRs and plenty of back up dancers, and it all worked well. There were maybe too many fireworks on the first night (I hate it when it obstructs the choreo) but they'd adjusted well on the second night.

Surprising but welcome - they had English subs for some of the ments. I don't think they were "live" subs because sometimes they'd get ahead of what the members were saying. But it was helpful. Even without them, body language and tone says a lot. Though I'm regretful that I don't understand Seonghwa's acrostic poems or all of their stupid jokes lol.

The show is called Fellowship and they leaned into it hard, asking Atiny to be part of their shared journey and to stick with them forever. It's a familiar refrain from other shows, but each time I find it both surprising and effective - this very overt, explicitly stated entreaty to be a fan, to enter into this imagined relationship, the appeal to reciprocity. "We've made you happy, make us happy too, be with us and we'll be with you."

But you can know a thing and it can still be effective. I did love the shows. I want them to be happy too!

A list of observations and random things:

Spoilers follow, I'd put it behind a cut but I can't figure out how on mobile haha

OK REALLY SPOILERS NOW

-first VCR to open the show expanded on the Treasure theme.

-Desire opens with blindfold choreo. Was this a gift for me? THANK U.

-for Lights, they had cute moments where they held up little speech bubbles over each others heads. They paired up with Hongjoong and Mingi, San and Wooyoung, Seonghwa and Yunho, and Yeosang and Jongho. Both nights, Woosan held hands. On the second night Yunho held Seonghwa's hand and Seonghwa was like a shy maiden. Mingi and Hongjoong had very strong flirty energy. Yeosang and Jongho are cute.

-the VCR in between part 1 pirates and part 2 fun boys showed what felt like a series of different dimensions? An ocean, a mountain, fields of flowers, cosmic surrealism, etc. As though each of them was alone somewhere in time and space.

-During If without you, they threw out balls to the crowd as gifts (mini riots ensued). Mingi put the empty basket on his head both nights, what a beautiful fool.

-Night 1 was the first time with the light stick! Hongjoong announced its official name: Lightiny (light of destiny) but also Tinybong lololol. The light stick is super pretty. I was tempted but didn't have time the first night. The second night it was sold out when I arrived!!!

-The VCR in between parts 2 and 3 is the really intriguing one. It paired them up into the Lights pairs again. Yeosang and Jongho searched for each other in a hall of billowing drapes. Mingi and Hongjoong were rockstars (with great lipstick). San and Wooyoung were mirrorverse versions of each other. Yunho and Seonghwa put together the pieces of a puzzle in a set that reminded me of both Treasure and Wonderland.

-In the intro to Say My Name on the first night, Hongjoong went halfway down the stairs then turned around, went back and grabbed his mic, then went down again lol. The second night he very firmly took his mic before descending the stairs lol.

-The final VCR before the encore showed them uncovering items on pedestals as though in a museum: a camera, a gramophone, a painting, a book of poetry by Yeats... Then they all created a painting together. When viewed through a red screen (like the puzzles in their albums) the pattern revealed a compass. They then all showed their wrists to reveal each had a compass tattoo.... WHAT IS THIS OT8 SOULMARK FIC!!!!!

-They said they had planned for every audience member to have this compass stamp (the Fellowship again) but it was cancelled due to health concerns. But we could see it with our true eyes, right???? On the second night, the 99s swarmed Seonghwa at this point to try to look down his shirt. I see. I see. (Later on Hongjoong also tried to peek into Mingi's shirt also fine just fine.)

-Early in the show Hongjoong said there would be clues through the show about the next steps in their concept/narrative. The hourglass and compass were very recurrent but these are not new. Hmm. I wonder.

-In one ment on night 1, Jongho spoke to all his hyungs informally and it was HILARIOUS. He did something similar on the second night, patting Yunho on the head and pinching Wooyoung's chin etc.

-During Star 1117 on the first night, Hongjoong and San started crying. Then in the following ment, they and Yunho and Wooyoung were crying, and Seonghwa and Jongho were teary. Yunho cried so hard (missing his grandfather!) that during Hongjoong's ment, Mingi quietly went over and gave him a towel. There were like five members in between that he passed to give him the towel, it was so sweet I'll cry. Night 2 felt more joyful and upbeat.

-Some ppl really left way too early like before the encore. The encore is half an hour long omg! You missed out on so many songs!!!!!

-On night 1 between main set and encore the crowd didn't quite know what to do. Huge kudos to the fans who led some cheers otherwise it would have been so quiet. Second night was better and also they kept the light sticks on while we were waiting which added to the atmosphere.

-They didn't sell a couple of sections in the hall at all, they were curtained off. It's interesting to think BTS had their first Muster here at around the same point in their careers. Like BTS, Ateez too are more popular globally than at home. They were beaten quite handily in voting on music shows by SF9 this comeback, who are more popular at home than internationally.

-It is great being in a huge fandom like BTS but also you know this is actually a great time to stan a group like Ateez. They're big enough to be exciting and have good shows, they are interesting and still developing, they're still playing intimate venues... They're good!!!!!

-A few of them had fake neck tattoos. San helpfully labeled himself "San" on the second night lol.

-Hongjoong briefly went off stage during sunrise On night 2. Hopefully just a technical issue.

-Treasure and Precious choreo start and end in the same place, echoing their musical connection.

-They had different encore outfits for Answer each night, before changing into hoodies. On night 2, Yeosang saw some of the others had scarves/banners tucked into their back pockets and was like "where's mine????" Instead of a banner, Yunho had a baseball cap. Seonghwa took his off and Hongjoong tied it around Seonghwa's wrist.

-For Star 1117, everyone held up their mobile phone lights. On night 2, San repeated the request in English too. Very pretty to see all the lights.

-On second night, Seonghwa and San got their mics and necklace tangled up during a ment lol.

TharnType The Series Ep. 11.5 Lhong Review

#TharnType #TharnTypeS #TharnTypeEp11_5 #TharnTypeEpLhong #TharnTypetheSeries #TharnTypeReview

I'm ready to know the truth. Come on, show me everything Ai Lhong. All these scene, that I commented on the previous episodes. Those attitude make me questioning and curious about what you hide behind those expressions.

He did that expressions behind Type and Tharn. That satisfy little smile. When he heard Type want to break up at the hotel room. Wow...

Haven't watch the episode? Check this out. TharnType The Series Ep. Lhong Eng Sub

Man, that face, full of plan. The face that show everything is on his hand. No!!!

I don't dare to see this scene, seeing Tharn crying is hurting this weak heart. I don't know how to say. Let's be general first without emotion. Tharn is drunk, he drink a lot. His belly already full of beer I guess, how he can eat some foods. He will throw up. I'm afraid about Tharn too Ai Lhong but it seems he wants to be alone now. I remember his words that he won't end his life because of broken heart. So, I guess he will be ok. Just leave him for now. The way he refused to eat, he is annoyed by you. I feel pity for both of you. Lhong, you care for your "friend", I know it is hurt to be refused. I understand both of your feeling.

Here, I can't ignore my emotions. "What did I do so wrong?" Tharn, you never did something wrong, you just too good, too kind and too great to be a human. "I love him the most" Tharn. Did you hear that clearly, Lhong? Don't you see his wounds on his tears? I don't even want to see him crying like that. But you, you caused him like that for many times.

He loved Tar but he disappointed because Tar was lying and betraying him (Don't know the cause yet, the reasen why Tar lied and betrayed Tharn, was he threaten by Lhong? How? I mean beside the video, what else were happens?). He loves Type the most so much so that he doesn't think he can love anyone else. Points. How many times he had a boyfriend, the fact is until now he doesn't see Lhong more then just a friend. Tharn is a typical of man who can approach first, I believe that he can notice someone whom have feeling for him except Lhong. Why? He already feel the care from Lhong is the care for friend not for lover, moreover Lhong keep hidding his feeling toward Tharn. That's why Tharn never see you that way.

Arghhh Lhong! You playing with my emotions. Type wants you to take care of him? He wants or you offer it? Don't even dare to cry, what are you crying for? You cry because you lie to yourself, is that right? Is it not Type but you the one who wants to take care of him. Lhong, or anyone who might be had similar characteristic with him, "eat this for Type's sake" Lhong. Believe me that this statement gives Tharn a small hope for Type to comeback. Type broke up with Tharn but still left his care in Lhong. What do you think? Tharn will never think of your care if you said "for Type's sake", He definitely will think that Type still care at him through Lhong. Love is bound to care each other and they do. "I can do everything for him" Tharn, after the crying scenes, the fights, the cuddling, the promises, the honesty, the love words and the attitudes from both what else do we need to proof that their love is true, Tharn's love for Type are pure and sincere.

I don't know if Lhong ever felt love before he met Tharn. But, for me, If I were him, seeing Tharn suffering like this. I'll definitely help them to make up and build their relationship even stronger then before. Become a supportive friends because I know the feeling of broken heart is too hurtful to handle. But Lhong seems never felt love. I need more background story of him to proof my judgements are not mistaken.

Lhong, wake up. Please, wake up. You already trapped in your own made dream. Tharn still calling for Type even he is on your shoulder.

No, don't tell me that Lhong is a broken home child. Please, it is not true. He never felt love even from his parents. No... I HATE a plot twist like this. poor him. "NOBODY WANTS ME, I DON'T BELONG HERE" Lhong. He never had love, don't tell me that he is also an unwanted child. Noooo... It's make sense if his characteristics are like that.

He hides his loneliness and depressions from everyone. He tried so hard to make friends and to be accepted but still there is something missing, right? Lhong, I don't know that you were through an hard life. What happened to you back then just happened to me recently, I also think that I don't belong here and no one see me like the way I see them for good. I'm also a broken home child but slightly different, I know the feeling of loneliness but not as much as yours because I'm glad that I have friends whom care at me. Even though for now I feel more lonely because of something elses. Your mistake was you never told at least someone that you hurt inside, you never know what other think about your condition. You never know how care they are if they knew you need their help. Lhong, you never be honest to other and also to yourself. I've been this strong because many things thought me to be stronger even now I just at the bottom of myself but I keep my self awake, never lose my self in my own dream.

THARN... Ha already became an angel for every one since he was born. He is too perfect. What is his weakness? Can you tell me? He really care so much of Lhong as a "friend", he even want to hear Lhong's problem if he have some. He is ready to help. I will fall to Tharn's kindness too. Their relationship were this good. But I can see that Tharn never see Lhong more than just a friend even Lhong tried to attract his attention that much. A secret admirer, he had be honest when he said that he is lonely even he hanged out with lots of friend. That's what I feel too recently.

I'm wondering Tharn's point of view about Lhong. I'm not sure, I think he knew that Lhong has a feeling for him more than just a friend. But he also can't do anything because he afraid that he miss calculate his perception. Other thing is he doesn't love him to be a boyfriend. So, he didn't make a move and just ignore and wait till Ai Lhong say something about his feeling toward Tharn, that is the right time for him to talk about this.

My tears keep falling.... This series like unite all of us who has trauma or mental problems. We are at the same circle. Type, Tharn, Tar and Lhong. We are hurt inside.

Why you just said that now? After everyone are suffering so much. You have to say it at the first place. I know you are afraid that Tharn will leave you if you be honest to him, but you already knew who is Tharn right? He is a good and kind person, he will never leave you just because you tell him your feeling for him.

Lhong and me are like the sun and moon. Lhong who like sun, burning, anger, obsessive, passionate, cheerful and looks full of power, once he got in anger he can blow it up. Me, the moon, cheerful only at a moment, calm, passionate, thoughtful and let everything goes like it should be, I can hold my self to keep calm or show little bit of my emotions when I'm angry. He is the one who very obsessive and will do anything to get what he wants is the opposite of me who always sacrifice my self for others. He got rid anyone who close to Tharn but me whom told my crush about my own feeling and was rejected but keep loving him as long as I can see him smile and happy.

This 18 minutes was so satisfying to be discussed. I wonder what will happen on the final episode. I hope it will fill our curiosity. But I also feel pity for Lhong if there will be something bad happen to him yet what he did was cross so much lines. I mean he has the right to have happiness for his own, he just a victim of his own feeling but he also worth to be judged because he made people suffer enough.

Why is khun Mame so talented to make such beautiful and worth watching or reading stories? I like the story of Love by chance, it succeed to make me love every characters, story line, everyone's problem and how they suffered in it so much, now is TharnType. Great on build up the characters, moments and also the conflicts. What I want now is I hope I could read the novel version to know and understand more about everyone's point of view.

So, how about you? What do you think about Lhong? Or the series itself? Leave me your thoughts below. See you... Next year 😊
