RULES: repost, don’t reblog. just pick a muse of yours and fill it out.

MUSE: Taemin

— basics

▸ is your muse tall/short/average? 6’2″! 

▸ are they okay with their height? Honestly? He wouldn’t mind being even taller. But he’ll take what he has.

▸ what’s their hair like? Straight naturally. There is a bit of a wave to it depending on if he falls asleep with it still wet or damp (even though his trainer tells him not to).

▸ do they spend a lot of time on their hair/with their grooming? Definitely not. Any time he was in the media for an ad or something of that nature, a team did him up, but left to his own devices, it’s just running his fingers through it or using a comb.

▸ does your muse care about their appearance? He cares about his appearance more in working out and his muscle strength. In terms of clothing or something more in that vein, he lives in athletic wear so he definitely doesn’t care about being fashionable. Though! He is a little bit of a sneaker snob. If you’re wearing Converse, he WILL judge you.

▸ does your muse care about what others think about them? Again this is more as a competitor. He cares about his image in the MMA world, so having his name raked through the mud is something he won’t forgive, and he won’t stop until he destroys those who set him up. But in terms of if people don’t like him on a personal level? He doesn’t give a shit. He has a bit friendlier of a persona with media, but in all other aspects, he couldn’t care less.

— preferences

▸ indoors or outdoors? Outdoors ▸ rain or sunshine? Rain. ▸ forest or beach? Beach ▸ precious metals or gems? Precious metals ▸ flowers or perfumes? Uh....flowers if he has to choose ▸ personality or appearance? Strength....lol ▸ being alone or being in a crowd? Being alone ▸ order or anarchy? Order ▸ painful truths or white lies? Painful truth ▸ science or magic? Science ▸ peace or conflict? Conflict ▸ night or day? Day ▸ dusk or dawn? Dawn ▸ warmth or cold? Cold ▸ many acquaintances or a few close friends? A few close friends ▸ reading or playing a game? Playing a game

— questionnaire

▸ what are some of your muse’s bad habits? Brushing people off is a big one, especially when he’s offered help. Not learning how to cook even simple things. Leaving his dishes in the sink until they become a pile. Having one foot in the public eye while the other is in the darker underground. Getting his underwear dry cleaned.

▸ has your muse lost anyone close to them? how has it affected them? He lost his mother when he was 13 and it definitely made him more closed off and colder towards the world. She definitely babied him a little and was very warm with him, and after her passing, his father left him to do a lot of parenting of himself. His ironclad self discipline comes from being on his own a lot. It didn’t help that he can have a rather intense face, so making friends in school didn’t always come easy. He got in a lot of fights.

▸ what are some fond memories your muse has?

As much as he likes to bitch about some of the people in Jungle, Ozelot, it really is a found family for him. People depend on him, look up to him, and care about his well being, even when its tough love sometimes. 

▸ is it easy for your muse to kill? In terms of strength and ability? Definitely. But while fighting is his thing, and he gets riled up when there’s blood involved, he isn’t much into killing so he doesn’t. But he COULD.

▸ what’s it like when your muse breaks down? He....hasn’t really done that so it’s hard to say. If he really broke down then he there would probably be a flood of pent up feelings released, but he keeps those kinda of emotions under tight lock and key....that is then put in a box, locked up again, and thrown into an ocean where it can never be discovered. :) 

▸ is your muse capable of trusting someone with their life? Yes, he is NOW. Before Jungle, he definitely wasn’t. But now there is a select handful that he would trust his life to. 

▸ what’s your muse like when they’re in love? ............Secret. Softie. He’s a soft puppy on the inside when he’s alone with someone he loves. A bit of a shy boy. 

TAGGED BY: @ I did some of these awhile ago but I saw Kris bring it back so I nabbed it TAGGING: @ Anyone can say I tagged them! But I’m making @bottleofbabes​ do one for Darius! (And Dante if you don’t mind doing two)

Stray Kids Hyunjin & His Love of Queer Media 🏳️‍🌈

This is just a little self-indulgent post to show appreciation for Hyunjin’s consistent support for queer artists and their work because it makes my heart happy. If you would like to give this post some love on Twitter too, I would really appreciate it!

~~~

During an interview in 2018, Hyunjin revealed the items in his school bag, one of which was the feminist short story collection Someone Harmless to Me by Choi Eunyoung (title translation may vary), which features a lesbian love story.

Book Description:

Hyunjin also recommended To The Warm Horizon by Choi Jinyoung, a post-apocalyptic novel featuring a love story between two women (May 2024).

Book Summary:

An interview with Choi Jinyoung about the queer/lesbian themes in the book:

In an interview with Bugs, Hyunjin recommended the song “1-800-273-8255” by Logic and its music video, which features a gay man struggling with and then ultimately accepting his sexuality. He remarked that the video was hopeful and could make viewers cry (March 2018).

Music Video Description:

Hyunjin is a fan of Troye Sivan, whose songs (such as “Youth” and “for him.”) he has sung on live and at concerts, as well as during monthly evaluations as a trainee. They met in May 2023 and Hyunjin ended up as a feat. on the remix of “Rush,” a song about gay party culture and intimacy.

Hyunjin is a fan of Frank Ocean, a bisexual man. He has been heard on live whistling “Thinkin’ Bout You,” a song Frank wrote about another man (February 2024).

Hyunjin recommended “Sweet” by Bren Joy, a queer man, and met him after attending his concert soon after (April - August 2024).

About Bren Joy:

When asked what artist he’s been listening to lately (August 2024), Hyunjin replied with a line from Green Day’s song “Bobby Sox,” written by bisexual lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong. The lyrics say both “Do you want to be my girlfriend?” and “Do you want to be my boyfriend?”

About Billie Joe Armstrong and Bobby Sox:

If you got this far, thank you so much for reading!!!
