secret santa here again :) i also wonder if you already know me 🤔 guess we'll have to wait until later this month to find out huhuhu

thank you for answering my first round of q's, i really enjoyed reading your story of you came to bias jongho 🥰 confidence really is so attractive and i think that's also one of the reasons i bias our captain joong <3

definitely taking notes about you liking spooky things 📝👀 black cat nero was also one of my first introductions to ateez and i'm still obsessed with her, very glad we got a studio version :)

now for the next round of questions:

what are some aesthetics you enjoy?

do you have any atz merch? any that you would want?

what's your favorite thing about making gifs?

hope you have a good day!

hi santa! sorry for answering a little late lolol I had exams to do but now im free and am on winter break!

I do wonder if I know u 👀 I have a suspicion for someone but also ik a lot of joong stans, so. funny enough I also bias joong for confidence reasons but jongho is the Main Dude

Also super glad to see u are a black cat nero enjoyer, I Love the vibes of it. It's Very Good.

but now for your Q’s!

1) I love all spooky aesthetics lol. anything to do with the supernatural, esp vampires, I eat up. I also love bikers (leather jackets, motorcycle, causing problems, I dress like one a lot bc I love them a lot!) and rockstars (like, being crazy on stage, loving music, playing electric guitar, the rock on 🤘 hand gesture. another reason why I loved guerrilla so much). anything that basically says “fuck the government” or “fuck society im gonna be who I want to be” is Good Shit. I love also murder (but not in like, a serial killer way???? every time I say that im like pls dont think im insane 😭😭) and darker stuff and dark fantasy. actually I have a writing account and I write basically everything I said, it’s @bikerjongho in case u wanna snoop through my masterlist. the themes of what I write are a good indicator of my aesthetics. I just think death/dying is very compelling! it’s so unknown but everyone will go through it and I think that’s fascinating. anyway im derailing the question so let’s move on

2) I have SO MUCH merch lmao. I have probably about 10ish albums, a lot of their photobooks, a lightiny from going to see atz Newark d1, and way too many jongho photo cards (like,,, 100+. it’s an issue). here’s a photo of all of them! I take pride in them haha. jongho is just a cool dude

3) and I love this q anon, u have such good questions! I take pride in my coloring so I think that’s also my favorite thing to do for gifs. for example I did this series where I made ateez in different aus and made gifs that matched the aus. the coloring was insane to do but I think they all turned out amazingly! here they are if u are curious!

hope u have a good day too anon!!!!

NOW 3 In Chicago

My thoughts and commentary as I watch the NOW DVDs! I asked if people wanted me to post my thoughts as I watched and the majority did, so here we are. There is only 1 DVD in this package again, about an hour and a half long. The other part of this was just the photobook and extra photo goodies, such as posters. Reminder that these are just my thoughts, it's not very organized. You get me typing it out as I go like I'm reacting to a friend. Somewhat like a bullet point format in a way.

This was filmed during 150720 - 150723 during their Red Bullet Tour, they performed in Chicago on the 24th (Tae confirms first day of shooting is the 20th). This Taekook ft. Mini & Moni Bangtan Bomb that was released in 2016 was actually filmed during these photoshoots too. I also actually was able to find these on YouTube subbed. You can watch them if you want, part 1 and part 2. You can see their tweets from that time frame as well here, including 2 tweets jikook made together.

DVD opens up with Hobi struggling to put contacts in and I was not prepared! Watching people touch their eyeballs gives me chills. Lol Jimin just laughing at him too 😂 JK so proud of his colored lenses! Jin is so cute. "I was trying to be cool, but I tripped." Jimin with his reddish hair and that bandana around his neck, the jewelry and that makeup, and it WORKS for him. Easily my favorite look. I swear, I'm obsessed 😍 HopeKook always so ready to break into dance together. The eyeliner for everyone is so intense. Lol

Tae 😭 "the future me who is watching this, what are you doing? I must be successful in a year, right?" Oh who is going to tell him?! Minimoni walking around Chicago together with a self camera, exploring. I love them. Jimin strutting around Chicago with a self cam looking fierce as heck and so happy. One of my favorite clips I swear. It is giving off so much energy, the vibes. I love it

Hobi was so nervous and scared through his whole shoot on that bridge but you would never be able to tell! He kills it. It's interesting (and the photos turned out crazy good) that they did unit shoots for this location with Namkook in one unit and then the other 5 in another too.

3J being so goofy in the car. 😍 Hopekook messing around with the camera, hearing Jimins laugh as they have English Time too. Lol Yoongi has got the MOST colorful hair for these shoots and I adore everything about it.

Sope photoshoots being the best thing ever! Yoongi unable to stop giggling the whole time and complaining about Hobi taking his sandwich as he is already just handing it over happily. They just make me so happy.

Jikook unit shoot 😭 there was just so much cuteness in here. "Now for Jungkook and Jimin who are always squabbling." Lmao we know editors, but they are so cute. And at the end of their shooting, Jimin joking about JK being taller today and just JK fully checking Jimin out from behind, head to toe, wow. Okay 😂 before agreeing and teasing about being taller. Jimin doing his solo shoot and struggling hard blowing bubbles with the gum. Only for us to hear JK still there watching his solo shoot and teasing him in the background while waiting for his own solo shoot. Lol their unit shoots together are always so special

Namjoon being the cutest and most precious little bean during the Taenamjin unit shoot. I don't know what he was doing, but it was adorable. Lol and can we all agree that Pink is Jins color. Yes? Great. Tae doing the opening line for Dope and being so goofy interrupting Jins shoot, while Jin just smiles so fondly 😂 Tae almost taking Jimin to the ground by jumping on his back during during group shoot 😅😂 and getting his revenge on Tae while JK was just trying to say goodbye to the camera. The chaos of them all together is beautiful.

Team missions for photoshoots again! Teams were created off of a random draw this time. I'm excited for watching the process of the insanity I know is going to come. Lol we have NamGi, Taekook and HopeJinJi teams! They created their trio name themselves after picking their teams now and Tae created Taekook after that too. NamGi said they would be 6 years, for the length of their friendship 🥺

Everyone talking about how Namsen tower is super popular for couples, but that it has a really good view and good food and good music. Tae wanted to be able to go. Jimin said he went over his last vacation, Jin and Joon both said it was a really good spot for food and music. And they all got to go up to the top of the tower for some time! Vmin were so cute too

Next day of shooting starts off with Jimin pretending to throw grenades at Jungkook who is peacefully trying to take scenery photos! Lol Joon starting the photos off with some crazy dance moves. Jihope watching so fondly as he acts crazy. Jimin going "he's cute" and Hobi going "he looks like he has no eyebrows" 😂😂 The editors putting a horror movie scream over the footage of the photographer rescuing Hobi from a spider on the tree is so rude 😂 Hobi is so sweet though, giving us flowers 💜 Tae filming with a puppy!! The cutest thing ever. JK wants to go play with that dog so bad. Lol this shoot was so chaotic. Lol there was SO MUCH energy, particularly from Tae!

Next shoot! I'm never not going to laugh at Jhopes energy. He has so much of it! Joon just tolerating everything he throws at him. Jimin complaining about his hyung always hitting his chest anytime he wears a dress shirt cracks me up, before it turns into a childish slapping pushing fight between the two as they giggle. Lol JinKook on a ferris wheel too! Their smiles were precious. Jhope pushing people out of the camera view consistently this whole shoot 😅

The next day they finally start working on their missions. These are always so funny. HopeJinJi decide to be thieves. Jimin explaining what some of them will do, just for Hobi to come and scoop Jimin up bridal style and say "okay. Lets go!" NamGi decide to do a horror movie parody with ghosts. And while they are nicely explaining their concept idea, we see JK hanging upside down off the railing at the top of the stairs. Lmao and he doesn't get down when other people talk to him, but when we hear Jimin behind the camera call him and tell him to be careful, he gets up and off the railing finally. Lol that cut below, with added captions for Jimin 🥰 Jimin worries about him and JK just immediately gets back down. Also he is insane, lmao I love him. Yoongi was so excited to be a ghost. Lol so excited. Taekook doing a Pokémon theme shoot, I love it.

Taekook did their shooting first and omfg, the face paint. They are making sure they protray their storyline well though, planning for each photo cut perfectly! They did a whole shoot and really committed. Lmao to the wild Pokémon (Tae) to the trainer (JK) finding and then fighting the Pokémon. Winning and capturing him in his pokeball (an apple lol). And victory shots. This was so extra and they did great 🤣 HopeJinJi doing a home alone themed shoot! Lol Jimin being "home alone" and 2seok being the thieves. Omg they were so cute and did such a good job too. Yoongi was soooo into being a ghost for this photoshoot. It's so endearing. Lmfao having the time of his life honestly. RM at the start, "it's nice he is so enthusiastic about this," and RM towards the end, "he keeps coming up with new ideas. I wish it would stop. I want to be done." 😂 they are so unintentionally funny. I love them!

JK so bored waiting for filming and went to go bug Jhope by tickling his feet and pinching him while he was trying to nap 😅 then jikook filming together, Jimin continuously zooming in on JKs face, just totally drapped across his lap as the cuddle while playing with the camera. "Jungkook-ah has a habit of kissing whenever he sees the camera" okay Jimin!

Jungkook telling Suga to give a 200% mischievous smile while he films his individual shooting before going over to watch Jimins shoot, which is next. All his giggles before he starts going in on his "oh he is so good looking" and "oh what a sexy expression" compliments and then over and over saying "oh I want to have you." Jungkook PLEASE. I have such a hard time watching this, the second hand embarrassment I get 😅 my post over THAT comment is here for those who want to read it. Lmao the editors, "he wants Jimin, but it ends." Please that doesn't make it any better 😭😭

Yoonminhopekook doing a unit shoot together. Yoonminkook tickling the heck out of Hobi for photos and 3J pushing Yoongi around on a skateboard. They are so cute. NamTaeJin were so chill in comparison as a group! Lol and their group shoots in the house were precious and chaotic as per usually. Right before it started, we see Jimin giving JK a bit of a neck massage too before they start filming as he is on the floor right in front of him. Sooo sweet. Just for Tae to put JK immediately in a headlock for photos 😂 Everyone tickling Hobi again too, someone save Jhope and everyone then tickling Kookie. It's nice they have fun as much as possible doing all these photoshoots.

Finally back in Korea and getting to see how their missions went. Them giggling over their team names is all so cute. Taekook saying they were happy to be on a team since other members can be more quiet at times. NamGi saying they were happy to work together since they hadn't been in a group together much before. HopeJinJi were so cute too talking about how good their teamwork is and how Jimin was their groups spy. Plus Jin spent that whole segment with his leg propped over Hobi's leg and tucked under Jimins arm. Lmao I love that for him! Everyone laughing super hard at how weird their photos turned out, and NamGi being like oh ours turned out so good, we look good, we did good. 🤣 Yoongi LOVED this concept, my goodness.

Omg first prize for this mission is $300 to a restaurant. That is QUITE the prize for real! Everyone else thinking they will win, and then there is Taekook saying they think Jimin will win, cuties. Tae saying he knows where Hobi would put their gift card and making plans to steal it 😂😂 Taekooks photos were so silly, Jimin was giggling so hard, yet so quietly about it too. Lol everyone was so sweet though "good looking guys look good even when they are trying to look ugly." HopeJinJi photo review turned into a roasting Jin session from the other teams 🤣 please. Lol NamGi won with just 4 more votes over the HopeJinJi team and got the gift certificate. The cheering they did was so cute!! Tae wouldn't leave JKs ear alone either or stop hitting him with the paper. Lol why are they like this? Jimin so sweet thanking all the staff who worked with them. He was so quick to leave though after his thank yous. Tae right on his heels! And ending the DVD with cute self filmed footage of NamGi's Korean Beef date with their well earned prize money was the perfect ending for sure 🥺🥺🥺

This was so cute and had so many amazing moments between everyone. I love getting to watch them all have fun together too. Thanks for letting me share my thoughts! You can find my thoughts over the first 2 NOW DVDs as well on my masterlist 💜💜

pspsps i’m manifesting you sharing the pcs!! as a stan who doesn’t have the resources to buy/trade pcs and only eve got to buy the bloom bloom album (got lucky and pulled bias line so hehe), it makes me so happy to see what everyone’s pulled in newer/older albums and i love seeing all the pcs my friends share pics of so if you would love to dump random info on them or share photos of them i’d be pretty invested in looking through it all!!

ahhh anon pls read under the cut too ! ;-;/ i was going to go through all my pcs but i realized that would take too long LOL so i picked some of my favs / ones i wanted to talk about and included it here ^~^ : 

these are just a few of my favorites ;-;/ actually a few of these were gifts from frens ! so they’re even more special bc of that :,)) more under the cut for those interested heh ^u^ 

first off thank you for asking anon T^T !!! <3 i haven’t actually talked about my collection all that much recently bc i’ve been too busy for collecting... but thank you for enabling me T-T ! means a lot ! and also ;;;; that’s okay ! i think collecting isn’t super sustainable as hobbies go lmao jdfskjf but it is definitely a fun way to interact with other deobis if you can ! and it’s okie if you don’t have the capacity to now ;-; i hope you can in the future if you’d like to ! or whatever you’d like ! collecting is a hobby at most so ! i really believe in doing whatever you’d like to whether that’s buying a bunch of albums or none or anything in between it’s all up to the person ! everyone is super valid ! (so long as we’re not hurting anyone of course :o !) and omg your luck !! so happy you got to pull your bias line ! it was meant to be hehe ^^ bloom bloom is such a pretty album too ;;; all the pcs are so pretty 

i actually have ;;; a lot of pcs LMAO so if you’re ever interested in a certain era pls feel free to let me know :o ! but i keep all my album pcs in this cute lil a5 binder ! i made the cover using my extra chase photobook ^~^ (i ended up with 6 copies ...) and i included a pic of my blbl page ! bc it’s my favorite ^^ i don’t actually have the blbl albums but i have blbl pcs bc they’re so pretty together methinks :,)) 

i don’t collect everything like i said >.< so i tend to pick and choose :o i’m still missing one specific chanhee pc i want before i say i’m completely done with collecting T-T but some people collect all the pcs from an album ! which i respect them for actually hhhh i just don’t have the capacity ;;;; and i got pretty lucky ! bc when i first got “serious” about collecting for tbz, i realized i usually pulled kevin pcs or it was super easy to trade for my biases ;;;; so a lot of my collection are from trades ! 

felt bad about not taking nice aesthetic pics for you bc i’m pressed for time ;;;; so here are some nice pics i’ve taken before ! from left to right it’s kev’s re:al con trading card (that i paid too much for considering but i clown for kevin like you wouldn’t believe), hak’s moon vers. pc from reveal ! which was my first ever tbz pc and a gift from chloe <3, and chanhee’s dreamlike pc ! i actually clowned for this one too i set up a threeway trade bc op wanted changmin’s and i had sunwoo’s so i found someone who wanted sunwoo and had changmin jdkfvd LOL 

and then i’d say i’m most proud of my chase collection ! it’s not my ... fav ? like era but i clowned and completed all the inserts for all the bbs AHHHHH and so i’m very proud of that ! (excluding the album covers bc they’re hard to ship T-T tho ! i did pull hak’s trick album cover which is the luckiest album i’ve had thus far)

if you made it this far, thank you for reading all of that LOL i did not mean to write you an essay ;;;; i just got so excited ;;;; it’s been so long since i’ve gotten to talk about my collection methinks hhhh >.< oh also before anyone asks .... i am not rich JKDGHDDSF i think i got really lucky ! i had some funds leftover during the pandemic (which is when i’d say i started collecting ?) from my job ;;;; and i still actually have funds if i wanted to i could collect everything ;;;; but i tried my very bestest to trade for stuff i wanted and not go above ... like 5usd per pc ? (which more or less i managed to do with help from ktwt) but yea ;;;; it’s a bit crazy and insane to look at but i’m actually quite proud considering it was all mostly waiting for good listings and trading ahhhh so ! yep yep
