BTS Toddler Series #25: Christmas

Kim Seokjin

“Here we go,” Jin said as he walked into the living room, a large box filled with ornaments in his hands.

“What’s that?” Kaiden asked as he scooted towards the edge of the couch, wanting to get a peek inside of the box.

“You remember how I told you that we were gonna make our tree really nice and pretty?” You spoke up and Kaiden turned to look over at you, nodding his head. “Well, the decorations for it are in that box.”

“Come look,” Jin called as he set the box down on the ground next to the Christmas tree. Kaiden slid down from the couch and walked over to his father, watching carefully as Jin pulled the lids of the box open.

“Oh, pretty,” Kaiden whispered as he peeked over into the box. Jin chuckled and reached into the box, pulling out a sphere shaped ornament.

“Here, you take this hook and sit it on the tree,” Jin instructed as he then took the ornament and hooked it onto one of the branches. “Like that.”

“Ok,” Kaiden nodded and Jin picked out another ornament, this time a small box, and then handed it off to Kaiden.

“Careful Kade,” you said as you got up and walked over to them. Kaiden nodded once again before slowly and gently placing the box on another branch, smiling widely afterwards. The three of you then spent the next 45 minutes decorating the tree and having Kaiden helping actually turned out better than you and Jin thought it would.

“Wanna put the star on Chinny?” Jin asked and Kaiden nodded instantly. You handed the star to him and watched as Jin picked Kaiden up, lifting him so that he could reach the top of the tree. Kaiden then pushed the star on to the top branch and Jin set him back onto the ground.

“What do you think Kade?” You asked him.

“We did good,” he chirped, making both you and Jin laugh.

Min Yoongi

“Daddy, where we going?” Kinsley asked as you, her, and Yoongi walked through the mall together. Technically though, Yoongi was carrying Kinsley.

“We have a surprise for you baby girl,” Yoongi said and Kinsley gasped softly.

“Good one?” She wondered.

“Yeah, it’s a good surprise,” you laughed. The three of you continued on throughout the mall until you came to this huge photo booth area, that was decorated in what seemed to be an endless amount of Christmas decorations.

“Mommy, Daddy!” Kinsley squealed and you smiled widely, already having expected this reaction from her. “It’s Santa!” She pointed over to the man that was dressed as Santa, sitting in a large chair as he took pictures with a few other children.

“We know, we brought you to see him,” you told him.

“Do you wanna go over to him?” He asked her and she nodded immediately. Thankfully, the line was not long at all so there was only about a 5 minute wait until the three of you were standing in front of “Santa”.

“Hello there little girl,” Santa smiled at Kinsley. Yoongi set her down on the ground and you both watched as she walked over to stand in front of Santa. “What’s your name?”

“Kinsley,” she whispered, suddenly feeling shy in the presence of the large man.

“And how old are you Kinsley?”

“Three,” she said as she held up three of her fingers.

“Have you been a good girl this year?” He wondered and Kinsley nodded. “Good. I guess that means that I’ll have to give you everything you want this year huh?” He chuckled and she nodded shyly. “Would you like to take a picture with me?”

“Can I?” Kinsley asked as she turned around to look at you and Yoongi

“Go ahead baby girl,” Yoongi smiled and Kinsley wasted no time in climbing up onto Santa’s lap. The both of them grinned widely and the cameraman took their pictures, all while you and Yoongi each took a photo on your phones as well.

Kim Namjoon

“All ready for bed Mase?” You asked him as you watched him pull his pajama top over his head.

“Yeah,” he nodded. He then looked over at his bookcase, pointing to it as he looked back at you. “Can we finish the book Mommy?” He wondered, referring to the book ‘The Polar Express’.

“Are you sure you want to finish it tonight?” You questioned with a chuckle. “You didn’t even make it halfway through before you fell asleep on it last night.”

“Please,” he begged. “Wanna finish before Christmas.”

“Alright, alright, we can read it,” you relented, making him cheer. “Go get Daddy and I’ll meet you in our room, ok?” He nodded quickly before running off to find Namjoon while you walked over to his small bookcase and grabbed the book off of the shelf. You then walked out of Mason’s bedroom and down the hall to your and Namjoon’s room, only to find both Mason and Namjoon already waiting in the bed for you.

“I see the two of you are ready,” you giggled as you climbed into bed with them. You settled down on one side of Mason while Namjoon was on the other side, the two of you sandwiching him in.

“Do you want me or Daddy to read?” You asked Mason.

“Daddy please,” he requested and you silently handed the book over to Namjoon.

“Should I start from the beginning or do you remember what happened?” Namjoon wondered.

“Start over,” Mason said as he snuggled further into the bed. Namjoon nodded, opening the book and beginning to read. The three of you laid there together, you threading your fingers through Mason’s hair gently as Namjoon’s soothing voice recited the words from the book.

“Joon look,” you called out suddenly, making him stop reading and look over at you. A wide smile came over his face at the sight of Mason fast asleep against you, his fringe covering his eyes.

“I knew he wasn’t gonna last,” Namjoon laughed and you just shook your head before leaning down and pressing a kiss to the top of Mason’s head.

Jung Hoseok

“Daddy, mommy!” Lennox yelled as he and Berkeley ran into the living room. You and Hobi were snuggled up together on the couch, a blanket covering the both of you as you watched a movie.

“What is it kiddos?” Hobi chuckled as they both clambered onto the couch and smushed themselves in between you and Hobi.

“We can’t find the elf today,” Berkeley pouted as she looked up at her father, referring to the elf on the shelf that you and Hobi had been hiding around the house for them.

“Did you look in your room?” You asked and hey both nodded their heads.

“Help us please,” Lennox requested.

“Alright, come on,” Hobi said and they both smiled widely before sliding down off the couch. “You gonna come with us?” He asked as he looked over at you.

“Why not?” You shrugged and the both of you got up from the couch. Hobi then lead the way into the laundry room, turning around to face the twins afterwards.

“I have a feeling that the elf may be in here,” Hobi said mysteriously and you couldn’t help the laugh that escaped you, knowing that he was the one who had been in charge of moving the elf today.

“Oh! Found it!” Berkeley exclaimed, hopping up and down as she pointed up to the shelf above the washing machine.

“God job princess,” Hobi grinned as he picked her up, lifting her and letting her pluck the elf from the shelf.

“Can we play with it Mommy?” Lennox asked as he looked up at you.

“Go ahead,” you relented. “But bring it back to Daddy before bedtime, ok?”

“Ok!” They both agreed before running off with the elf.

“How much do you wanna bet that we never see that elf again?” Hobi said, making you laugh loudly.

Park Jimin

“Mommy,” Noah whined as he sat next to you on the floor of you and Jimin’s bedroom. “Wanna help.”

“Just a sec Noey,” you mumbled as you concentrated on trying to hold the wrapping paper in place in order for you to tape it together. Jimin walked back into the room then, carrying a few shopping bags that were filled with the gifts that needed to be wrapped for your family and friends.

“Daddy,” Noah whimpered, turning his attention to Jimin. “Mommy won’t let me help.”

“What? Why?” Jimin wondered as he set the bags down on the floor and then sat down across from you.

“I didn’t say he couldn’t help, I just told him to wait a second,” you chuckled. “And don’t snitch on me.”

“Come here mini me,” Jimin laughed as he shook his head and Noah crawled over to sit next to his father. Jimin looked into one of the bags and pulled out a small box, handing it to Noah. “Wanna help me wrap uncle Tae Tae’s present?”

“Yeah,” Noah chirped enthusiastically and you couldn’t help but to smile at him. Jimin grabbed the scissors and some wrapping paper, cutting out the appropriate amount needed to wrap the gift. He then handed it off to Noah, who instantly went to work on trying to wrap it correctly.

“So, have you gotten my gift yet?” You asked Jimin as you looked up at him, and he just smiled.

“Wouldn’t you like to know?” He chuckled.

“I would actually,” you giggled.

“You’ll have to wait and see jagi,” he said. “I’m not even gonna ask if you got my present yet though, because I know that you don’t have what I really want. At least not right now.”

“Soon Jimin-ssi,” you promised him with a soft smile. “And I think you’ll still like my actual gift in spite of that.”

“Daddy, help me please,” Noah spoke up suddenly and both you and Jimin looked down, seeing that Noah had managed to rip up the wrapping paper and the entire present was exposed.

“Ok mini me,” Jimin laughed. “You did a good job though,” he praised him and you smiled at how great Jimin was with your son.

Kim Taehyung

“Ok, who’s card do you want to do next Spence?” You asked as you took a card that she had decorated full of glue and glitter and set it off to the side to dry. For Christmas this year, you and Taehyung had thought that it would be really cute and meaningful if Spencer handmade Christmas cards for your families and for the members.

“Uh, Uncle Kookie,” she said and you nodded before handing her another piece of construction paper that you had already folded in half for her. She quickly picked up a blue marker and set to work on decorating it.

“I’m home!” You heard Taehyung shout as the front door opened and then closed. It was only a few more seconds before he was walking into the kitchen and smiling at the sight of you and Spencer sitting at the kitchen table together.

“Hey, how was your day?” You wondered as you watched him walk over to you.

“Eh,” he shrugged with a chuckle before leaning down and kissing you firmly. He then turned to Spencer, who hadn’t once looked up from the card that she was working on. “Hi Munchkin.”

“Hi Daddy,” she replied, still not sparing him a glance as he kissed her on the cheek.

“Oh, you’re working on your Christmas cards,” Tae smiled as he looked at the small stack of cards that she had already finished.

“Yeah and she’s doing a great job,” you praised her. “See, look at them.”

“No!” Spencer squealed as she finally looked up, reaching out to grab her Daddy’s hands. “Daddy’s card is there and he can’t see it until Christmas.”

“Oh, that’s right,” you nodded. “Sorry Spence.”

“Well, who’s card are you working on now?” Taehyung asked as he peeked over Spencer’s shoulder in order to look at what she was doing. “It looks beautiful.”

“That’s Jungkook’s card,” you smiled.

“Oh, I should’ve known,” he smirked knowingly.

Jeon Jungkook

“I’m ready!” Ava chirped as she ran down the stairs in your house, running over to where you and Jungkook were standing by the front door.

“Ah, where are your gloves Ave?” You asked her when you saw that her hands were bare.

“Upstairs,” she murmured as she looked down at her hands.

“Go get them Angel,” Jungkook instructed. “It’s cold out there.” Ava sighed heavily before turning around and walking back up the stairs.

“If she has this much attitude at three, can you imagine how bad she’s gonna be when she’s a teenager?” You wondered.

“I don’t even wanna talk or think about that,” Jungkook shuddered, making you laugh. Just then, Ava came back down the stairs with her gloves on her hands. After checking to make sure that she was bundled up properly, Jungkook opened the front door and the three of you walked outside into the freshly fallen snow.

“Wanna go play in the snow Angel?” Jungkook asked her and Ava nodded. You watched with a smile as she stepped out further into the front yard, giggling when she heard the snow crunching underneath her feet.

“Here, want me to show you how to make a snowball?” You asked her and she nodded. You bent down and gathered some snow up, using your hands to form it into a ball. Ava then did the same, although her snowball turned into more of a huge glob than a ball.

“Hey, we should get Daddy,” you whispered as you looked over at Jungkook, who had started to roll a huge ball of snow in order to make a snowman.

“Ok,” she giggled and the two of you slowly crept up behind Jungkook, who had his back turned to you two. You looked down and nodded at Ava, and the two of you threw your snowballs at him at the same time.

“What the!” Jungkook yelped as he jumped at the impact of the snowballs and he turned around, an evil smirk spreading across his face. “Oh, the two of you are in for it now!”

“Run Mommy!” Ava shrieked and the two of you took off across the yard, Jungkook following close behind with a snowball in each of his hands.

Hi Tumblr I wrote an essay on 4chan and toxic masculinity and drew this Pepe to go with it. Hope you like em! 4chan: The Skeleton Key to the Rise of Trump 1. Born from Something Awful Around 2005 or so a strange link started showing up in my old webcomic’s referral logs. This new site I didn’t understand. It was a bulletin board, but its system of navigation was opaque. Counter intuitively, you had to hit “reply” to read a thread. Moreover, the content was bizarre nonsense. The site, if you hadn’t guessed, was 4chan.org. It was an offshoot of a different message board which I also knew from my referral logs, “Something Awful”, at the time, an online community of a few hundred nerds who liked comics, video games, and well, nerds things. But unlike boards with similar content, Something Awful skewed toward dark jokes. I had an account at Something Awful, which I used sometimes to post in threads about my comic. 4chan had been created by a 15 year old Something Awful user named Christopher Poole (whose 4chan mod name was “m00t”). Poole had adapted a type of Japanese bulletin board software which was difficult to understand at first, but once learned, was far more fun to post in than the traditional American format used by S.A., as a result the site became popular very quickly. These days, 4chan appears in the news almost weekly. This past week, there were riots at Berkeley in the wake of the scheduled lecture by their most prominent supporter, Milo Yiannopoulos. The week before that neo-Nazi Richard Spencer pointed to his 4chan inspired Pepe the Frog pin, about to explain the significance when an anti-fascist protester punched him in the face. The week before that, 4chan claimed (falsely) it had fabricated the so called Trump “Kompromat”. And the week before that, in the wake of the fire at Ghost Ship, 4chan decided to make war on “liberal safe spaces” and DIY venues across the country. How did we get here? What is 4chan exactly? And how did a website about anime become the avant garde of the far right? Mixed up with fascist movements, international intrigue, and Trump iconography? How do we interpret it all? At the very beginning, 4chan met once a year in only one place in the world: Baltimore, Maryland at the anime convention, Otakon. As a nerdy teen growing up in Baltimore in the 90s, I had wandered into Otakon much like I had later wandered into 4chan, just when it was starting. I also attended Otakon in the mid-aughts when 4chan met there, likewise to promote my webcomic. As someone who has witnessed 4chan grow from a group of adolescent boys who could fit into a single room at my local anime convention to a worldwide coalition of right wing extremists (which is still somehow also a message board about anime), I feel I have some obligation to explain. This essay is an attempt to untangle the threads of 4chan and the far right. Read the Rest of this essay on Medium

UPDATES.

ADRIANA AMARO:

THREAD | featuring Aviv Kasyanenko - Potentially, the beginning of the end for their ‘relationship.’ This thread is a dive into Adriana’s early feelings regarding what happened to her sister, as well as showing her internal thoughts about having to knowingly deceive the people she cares about.

THREAD | featuring Spencer Berkeley - Giving some weight to their established connection, the thread provides further insight into not only their comfortable relationship, but the lengths Adriana will go to when it comes to protecting her sister. Even if it means lying to one of her best friends. Adriana visits him for some much needed support. The only shoulder she will cry on.

THREAD | featuring Lyudmila Korshunova - Coming back to London after her time away, despite the fact she wasn’t supposed to, to visit a friend in trouble.

Summary: Overall, Adriana has been jumping around from Tel Aviv and New York, but has finally returned to London, despite the fact she wasn’t supposed to. But in spite of it all, as she’s home, she’s back to taking care of the businesses that Lara left in her care, apart from when she briefly left London to attend some fashion shows.

LEYLA YILMAZ:

SELF PARA | Sorry Baby, The Villain Needs You - Svetlana Vorshevsky takes Leyla to make sure that her twins are delivered safely.

THREAD, THREAD, THREAD | featuring various - Leyla struggles to navigate returning to every day life, knowing she’s unable to tell anybody close to her the real reasons behind her disappearance. Good display of internal monologue.

THREAD | featuring Laurent St. Pierre (and family) - Though she attempts to visit Laurent to break the news that she’s pregnant, she instead finds herself meeting his family, in the process. This thread will be where he eventually finds out.

Summary: Leyla is currently eighteen weeks pregnant, aka almost four months, which means she now knows the gender of the baby! The focus now will be on fixing her relationship with friends and seeing how Laurent and Leyla will work through everything now that he technically knows. Also - very hungry pregnant woman is here.

ANATOLY VESELOV:

THREAD | featuring Yana Kurylenko - Causing problems for the Hathaway. Yana and Tolya have taking to getting a hold of Vixens, and then either selling them off in parts to the black market, or selling them as prostitutes to places outside of the UK.

THREAD | featuring Viktoriya Kurylenko - Where he is about to find out Emilia’s place in what happened to Viktoriya, and the starting point for them to hatch a plan together on how to deal with her.

Summary: He’s working hard against the French, but not as hard. At this point, there are very few Russians that Tolya is okay with, and he is drifting simply around because he likes what he does. Focus to be possibly on the Russian mob, trying to see what is the best situation that he could place himself in.

ÉTIENNE CANET:

SELF PARA | Bienvenue à Londres - The taking of Mikhail Vorshevsky. This is an important one, so please, if you haven’t read it, do so.

THREAD | featuring Delphine St. Clair - Étienne discusses his return to Commandant status after being promoted by Aurélie when she was back in London.

Summary: He is holding Mikhail hostage in a secret location that few know the details of. Ideally, he would want to get information out of the boy, but even if he is unable to do so, keeping him is doing wonders after everything that’s happened. The focus is still on Mikhail, but he will soon move forward with some extra plans to make Russians lose more power.

FRANCISCO VIDAL:

THREAD | featuring Kathleen Zhao - A couple of besties. A big progression in their friendship comes as Vidal finally meets her son. A fairly big deal, when he knows she doesn’t share that part of her life with most.

THREAD | featuring Nevra Erdogan - Though she has had her attention on Adrian for the most part, Vidal is planning to take her under his own wing. Potentially the start of her becoming his right-hand.

Summary: Vidal has had to shift focus, and the wheels are in motion for him to soon meet with Delphine to discuss the possibility of a tentative alliance. Only time will tell what it will come of this. In the meantime, he is keeping Nevra close in hopes of mould her into something more than an assassin for the organisation.

ELAINA HALÉVY:

SELF PARA | Heartbreak - Learning that her sister, the other half of her heart, is amongst the French dead.

THREAD | featuring Lyudmila Korshunova - A taste of revenge, perhaps. Fucking up the wife of Konstantin Vorshevsky just because she can. Elaina left her alive for the sake of future opportunities, and as a clear message to the Russians that she can take their people just as easily as they take hers.

Summary: Elaina is a fucking mess who probably needs to be put on watch. This time is different than how it was with Tahir because it feels so targeted and her death is all around her. As well, without Noa, she can’t even look at her own face in the mirror without seeing her sister, she can’t sleep, she can’t eat. She is so not okay, but she won’t say it and is drinking, killing, and just trying to fuck shit up.

MIKHAIL VORSHEVSKY:

SELF PARA | Étienne’s Chamber of Secrets - The poor man is in captivity, trying to make the best of a bad situation. There’s not a whole lot he can do right now.

Summary: Not a very fun time for him, as he understands the situation he is in. But he is biding his time, he is staying still until he knows what it is he wants to do. It hurts, it ain't great, but he isn’t stupid, he’s always got something up his sleeve, so just...watch this space.

BANG ARA:

SELF PARA | Say Cheese - Murder on the dancefloor. Ara successfully takes out Elaina’s right hand man. Creepy, ginger Sébastien (same person, as it turns out) and not Sébastien Pécresse. Nobody panic.

Summary: Generally, she is now working under the command of Arkady. She is carrying out specific hits in order to get closer to information regarding Mikhail and thus, at the same time, trying to get closer to those who might know something. As always, she is ruthless when it comes to kills, but it’s worth it for information on the golden boy.
