#all other celebrities are invalid and deserve nothing

i don't want to make this month about discourse, because most discourse is arbitrary and pointless at best, and self-destructive and dangerous at worst. but happy pride month to all queer people in the community that have been targets of exclusion, abuse, or erasure by certain jerks in the community.
trans people, intersex people, black queers, aces/aros, mspecs, neopronoun users, xenogender people, transhets, gnc queer people, multigender people, people who use microlabels, mspec lesbians/gays, polyamorous people, queers with split attraction, and any other groups who have been targets of abuse, exclusion, or erasure by other queer people who should have had their backs.
i don't need to tell you that you're valid because it's not for me or anyone else to decide that your way of describing yourself is "invalid." you are the only person who can label yourself in a way that is fulfilling to you- and if that means not labelling yourself at all, that's great too! but i love you. i'm proud of you for existing, despite the fact that you have to deal with some queer exclusionists hating you on top of the queermisia from non-queers. your existence is beautiful. your queerness is beautiful. be proud of yourself, because you deserve to be.
love you. have a wonderful month, because you deserve to celebrate it just as much as every other queer person <3
and to the exclusionists in question: you don't get to blame the rest of us for hating you when you help make queer spaces unsafe for queer people. worrying about how other queer people identify is such a waste of time, because they're going to identify that way no matter what you think. your opinions on other peoples' validity means absolutely nothing. you are wasting valuable time that you could be using to be proud of your own queerness instead of reveling in your misery about other queer people daring to exist in a way you don't like. so try changing and growing as a person and stop spending all of your time worrying about what other gay people are doing.

Kim Jiwoong
yellow sweater and deep conversations
pairing: ZB1 Jiwoong x gn!reader
theme: slight angst, fluff (very domestic)
warnings: mentions of religion, idol struggle, kinda sad in general
word count: 1.6k
a/n: This is just kinda a domestic fluff oneshot and goes nowhere
Tumblr media
"Oh don't act all innocent. Before we got together, all you did was flirt with me so I thought you were like that with everyone else. Turns out, you actually liked me and weren't just playing with my feelings." You chuckled at the memory.
Jiwoong shook his head and sighed. "I always had a thing for you, you know? I know we were just close friends before, but I always thought you were cute." He looked away, blushing at the things he was saying.
"I'm glad I'm the only person that gets to be this close with you." He smiled warmly as you hugged his waist. He liked the fact that you were caressing his sweater covered back. "You are all mine." He told you in a cheeky tone. "Not everyone can say they have you as a lover."
"And not everyone gets a Kim Jiwoong all to themself, and absolutely smitten - aka simping - over them. So I feel very VERY lucky."
more under the cut!
His eyes lit up as soon as you mentioned his full name. He leaned forward to kiss your cheek and smiled at you once again. "Maybe you should start simping for me more. I feel like I'm constantly simping for you, and it's good because you definitely deserve it." He smirked as he looked up at you. "I just feel like... well you interact with a lot of other people in your school so.. I don't, I feel weirdly jealous even though I know I shouldn't. Also, you've been really busy lately so we don't get to spend a lot of time together."
"I understand, I'm really sorry about that. There's no need to try and invalidate what you're feeling, it's good that you're telling me this."
"You can feel jealous, it's okay but I want you to remember that you're just.. I never imagined I would ever be with someone like you. People see your looks and think that that's all there is to you, but you're extremely talented. I mean, you're a dancer, a singer, an actor, a YouTuber, and a part-time comedian for me." you say, adding the part-time comedian jokingly.
"Yes, you are indeed not bad looking, but your personality is honestly the biggest contributor to why I fell for you. No one can top that, at least not in my books." You say all this as both of your hands hold his face, your eyes boring into each other's.
After hearing your words, his face lit up and smiled sweetly at you. "You don't know how happy that makes me, love. Honestly, when I'm with you, I forget all the things I do for work and fame. You're right, the first thing that people see when they look at me is just a celebrity. But I like to think that you don't see me like that. I hope you just see me as... Jiwoong. Your adorable, kind, and very beautiful boyfriend." He laughed once again.
"You really had to emphasize the beautiful part, didn't you?", you tease him. "But it's not like it's a lie, so I'll let it pass."
"Hmm.. to me.. you're just my dorky boyfriend who happens to be a celebrity, too." you brush off his hair away from his forehead and admire him, "I know I don't say this enough, but I'm really proud of you. You went through hell and back to get where you are now. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you to be a part of shitty companies. Right now, I'm just thankful you're in a much better company. I wish you nothing but happiness and success."
He looked into your eyes after listening to your words. A warm smile appeared on his face as if he felt touched by your words. "I'm glad that I left those awful companies and finally found my place. I'm thankful that my dreams have come true thanks to your support. I'm also glad I'm still able to keep up with dancing and singing after all these years." He put his free hand on you cheek. "And I'm proud of you too."
You put your hand over his, "I'm serious.. Every time I think about what you've been through in the entertainment industry, my heart breaks a little. I know it's useless, but I can't help but wonder how things would be like if you had a good company in the first place. I have so many what ifs, but the one that stands out is - What if you became a successful K-pop singer in your first try?"
"I guess I would've been a lot more successful in life if I got into a good entertainment company right from the start." He shook his head at the thought.
"But, there's really nothing that we can do now, so might as well just keep on looking at the positive side. Those experiences in those awful companies made me the person that I am right now. Maybe that's how it was supposed to be." He shrugged his shoulders.
"You think about it too much, babe," is what he says before leaning forward to kiss your forehead.
You let out a sigh, "Sorry.. I can't help it. It just makes me wonder how you're still so optimistic and such a wonderful person despite everything. It reminds me of that one saying about how God supposedly gives the hardest battles to his strongest soldiers." I chuckle a little. "Neither of us is religious, but somehow it's very fitting."
He smiled when you spoke, trying to be understanding. But he also laughed. "No, no, you don't need to apologize." He leaned in to gently place a soft kiss on your lips. "You're so poetic sometimes, love. But if you're wondering seriously, then I guess it's because I've learned to be optimistic because I don't want to waste my time on being sad about things that I can't change." He placed his free hand on your cheek and caressed it once more. "Instead of being sad and having regrets, I can use that time to make more memories with you."
He started to think about the whole religion and battle thing you just said. He stayed quiet for a moment as he sat there silently. "You know, what you said reminded me of something too." He started to talk quietly once more.
You turned to him curiously, sliding off his lap and opting to sit beside him instead. "What does it remind you of?"
"Hmm... my friend once told me something back then. It's similar to what you said. He said to me, it's all about choices." He looked at you and put his free arm around you, bringing you closer to him.
"He told me this when I was in a bad place, and he was right. He said that we are all given certain circumstances in life and the choices we make lays a path for us to walk on, although we can never be sure where it'll ultimately take us, it's our hopes and intentions that keeps us away from straying from that path."
Smiling up at him, you nod. "Your friend seems like a great person. It was nice of them to say that. And yeah, that seems right. I'm glad that you had great people around you during those times."
He nodded in response. "Yeah... it was all thanks to him. He was the reason I got out of that bad place and turned my life around." He chuckled a little as he thought about the past. "And I'm so lucky to have you around, right now. You are always there for me, and you make me a better person."
"What about you? Did you ever have anyone like that in your life? Someone who helped you out during a bad time." He tilted his head as he waited for your response.
You hummed as you think of your past. "I'm not sure."
Clearing your throat, you continued, "Back then, I wasn't good at opening myself up to people even if I considered them as my friends. " You take a small pause, trying to remember at least one memory. "Oh! I remember that one friend I had during high school. I didn't exactly tell them about my situation, but I told them about what I felt.. It lifted a heavy weight off my chest, but I also felt bad after because I thought I was being an inconvenience."
He was quiet as you spoke, paying close attention to you.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe that's why you're so good at picking up on other people's emotions right now." He thought out loud.
He continued caressing your waist, and you could feel his soft fingertips on your sweater. "I think you should try to reconnect with that person sometime if you get the chance." He smiled at you. "I'm sure they'll be glad to hear from you again." He said while playing with your hair.
"She lives overseas now, so we don't get to see each other. After graduation, we didn't get to keep contact either. I still like some of her posts on instagram from time to time. She does the same, too."
Yoy sighed and snuggled closer to him. It may be because you're tired, but for some reason, he thought that you were more touchy today.
As you snuggled a little closer to him, he smiled and placed a gentle kiss on your head. "I still think you should message her someday. Catch up for old times sake, you know?"
You nodded at his statement. "Maybe I will."
"Also, you're more touchy today? I like that. You can be as touchy as you want, you know." He joked once more.
After hearing his joking response, you softly smack his chest. "I don't even know why I'm like this. Either I'm just extra tired, or because it's been really cold lately which makes me... I don't even know."

a/n: If you got to this point, thank you so much for reading!! I really appreciate it. Also, this was difficult to edit (pretty sure there's still some errors), and I might have some grammar lapses, too. Wrote this a few weeks ago, and since it hasn't been long since Jiwoong's birthday, this can be a bday post, too. Thanks again!! mwahh

THOUGHTS ON WHATS GOING ON IN THE WORLD
Harassing people in their Instagram & Tik Tok comments is not gonna force them speak about Palestinian. A lot of y’all under family or birthday pictures calling people “selfish” for simply living their life. It’s so demonic & a perfect example of energy vampirism 🧿
I can’t even begin to explain how wrong this is on some many levels. Yet there’s so many people doing this. You can’t use an event that you weren’t there for, that isn’t even happening to YOU— to attack someone else. You’re draining someone else’s energy for an ego boost. It’s energy vampirism. You can’t be mad, because someone is living their life normally, celebrating a birthday/ holiday or something good happens to them during a time of tragedy ( happening somewhere else). I don’t know WHY I have to keep repeating & explaining this, because it’s common sense. So it’s proof that there’s dark energies at play here.
This is what they did with Kobe Bryant’s death & the 2020 Black Lives Matter Protests. Many people were attacked & called “selfish” for not protesting, destroying buildings & cars, for living their lives & for simply not being sad or depressed.
I really wanna do a whole breakdown of how energy vampires are using what’s happening in Palestine to attack innocent people & drain their energy. I swear it’s like a ritual. Lower energies are feeding right now
Like you want me to apologize for not being sad or depressed right now? You don’t get invalidate & dismiss the lives of others, because there’s a war going on in some other country. You don’t get to compare tragedies or trauma! Do I need to remind everyone of what black people have BEEN through & are still going through? Thousands of indigenous women are being murder or going missing everyday.
What will you gain from attacking people? Time waits for no one. The world will not stop because of ONE tragedy when there’s thousands of tragedies everyday. You people are not using common sense & it’s clear you simply want your ego stroked.
I have nothing to say about world events anymore. I’m all talked out. I’m tired of trying to make my voice heard, but being attacked & shut down by haters. I’m not fighting. I’m not protesting & I will not stop my life for anyone or anything. Simple. I refuse to be any form of sad, stressed or crying right now. I will not apologize for celebrating my goals, my perseverance & my birthday after everything I’ve been through. I will not apologize for living the life I deserve. If you want to be mad at someone be mad at “God” or the government. So many of you are directing your anger, pain or just simply urge to be chaotic at innocent people. I’m not selfish for LIVING MY LIFE. I will NOT feel getting for LIVING NORMALLY.
It’s like you guys want people to commit suicide… why would we have survivors guilt for simply being alive another day as usual???? This is reality.
Whenever there’s a VIRAL world event / tragedy suddenly everyone attacks you for posting on Instagram, celebrating your birthday/ holiday, eating dinner with your family or buying your kids a toy. They say “so selfish! There’s dead kids who don’t get to play!” “Not everyone has a family to eat with. So tone deaf” “why are you posting & people are dying?” “Are you going to say something about the deaths?” “You’re really celebrating your birthday, instead of protesting to help? Sick.” “Not everyone had
WHAT’S WRONG WITH EVERYONE??? You’re digusting to sit & shame someone (for something you were doing not too long ago), but now you want to put on a fake performance for social media. It’s so weird & disturbing to bring up the misfortunes of others, when someone is just living their life. Why should we feel guilty for eating, drinking, sleeping & breathing. Are you ok in the head?
Energy harvesting is REAL. Do not allow what’s outside of you to lower your energy. Wish people well. Send love, light & prayers & move on. Choose your battles. You should not be fighting a battle that’s not yours. Your journey is your own. Your life is your own.
You’ll notice us sensitive people being very quiet & going ghost at this time, because there’s so many spiritual & physical attacks right now. You don’t have to speak or involve yourself in anything you don’t feel comfortable with. Don’t allow peer pressure to overpower your intuition.
I feel something coming & it is not good… protect yourself. 🧿 🖤

My experience with pronouns.
English is not my first language. Its bangla. Funfact: in bangla there are gendered nouns. But not pronouns.
Pronouns in bangla is classified in three types
Respectful: elders and respects ppl of society/ history
Formal: friends and peers of same age and youngers
Informal: you use informal pronouns with ppl you are insulting in a road rage, your friends and younger siblings too. Hence, informal. Basically you choose who u want to use this with. (Its weird wjen i try to explain it)
So I did not have any problems with pronouns until i was older and had to engage with english more, before that, i wasn't worried about my gender or the way i was percieved. Ofc everybody thought i was a girl, i looked like a girl. But i wasnt reminded of it until english pronouns came into the picture.
And i had to sit down and grapple with the fact that i didnt like she/her. I told my friends i want to go by he/him and i told them to call me aurun (masc vers of my name and an old nickname from my aunt). But it still felt wrong. Someone else except my aunt calling me aurun felt weird but i felt like i had to be more masc. Bc i was i identifying with transmasc identity. But it just felt wrong. So i told my friends to stop calling me aurun and go back to auru. They were okay with that too. At this point i didnt identify with masc or femm. Nothing fit me.
I was a weird blend of both and evethough i knew i was non binary and allowed to be androgynous. The androgynous fashion and identity seems so western to me. It didnt fit me. It wasnt made for a person like me. I stuggled with feeling like i had to overcompensate with masculinity to prove my worth as a transmasc person or else im faking it.
Now im at a point in my life that i know i am agender. And i recognize that i assign more with feminity as an expression, and i feel more transmasc/androgynous in my rawest form. I treat feminity as a culture(?) to be celebrated and which deserves to be seen in all its beauty. I wear the sarees and put on the kajal as an expression of LOOK HOW PRETTY THIS IS. i feel more beautiful in feminine clothes and i feel more comfortable in masculine ones. Neither invalidates my indentity as an agender person.
The only queer culture that i witnessed for years was western and i knew i didnt fit into that narrative either. I cant wear fashion like those outside (im not rich enough to not care about creepy uncles oogling me in the streets) i dont want to fit into western culture's idea of androgyny and gender presentation. And i cant either. I wasnt brought up with the reminder of my gender in every sentence they spoke of me. My pronouns didnt matter. And it does not either right now.
Thats why i have no pronouns in my bio. I will never be comfortable with she/he/they. Those will never apply to me, thats not my language, thats not what i was born as. Other ppl who dont speak my language can never use the pronouns i grew up with. So just use my name. At least thats in your area. Thats why i say (no pronouns only auru). Bc im just that. Just auru. I present transmasc on the internet bc its closest to what i am.

The double standards in this fandom lol Harry and Olivia hanging out and all: "Harry baby, you don't deserve this" and "You'll be fine baby" and how he's being used by his abusive friends. While we have to watch daily the larries talk shit about Louis because he doesn't want to deal with their bullshit. Invalidating his feelings. Making fun of him. Leaking his work.Not to mention the blogs making up stories about him and blaming him for the fandom's unhappiness.
Part of this is because — as a Louie friend described it — to the public, Harry is Barbie.
You can take all his clothes off and play dress up, make up stories, write fics as innocent or filthy as you want, and it all fits, because real-life Harry is a blank template. There’s nothing there. He’s evasive and bland.
Every quote about him from other celebrities is incredibly vanilla, anodyne, mild. The Number 1 Pop Star in the World is a known for his pre-scripted platitudes and for buying expensive gifts for other celebs.
Harry Styles is whatever you want him to be. He’s straight. He’s gay. He’s submissive. He’s dominant. He’s rough. He’s sweet. None of this is real and it doesn’t matter. He’s Superman, the blandest superhero.
What Larries won’t comment on is Harry’s business strategies, because “he’s being forced,” to the tune of making more than $100 million this year.
Whereas Louis… actually has a personality, has preferences, has values, has opinions. Louis is harder to squeeze into their mold.

so we have to ignore public tweets and other displayed behaviour from shitty people? they’re public, how is that not my place? why is someone not allowed to say “hey guy in a band, your girlfriend is being awful online, you might wanna check how that translates to their offline life, aka your relationship with them” ???
This got long here's the tldr: fans have no place commenting on the guys' personal lives because we don't actually know them. Brandy isn't nearly as problematic as people are making them out to be and fans have been looking for reasons to hate them, largely because of racism and misogyny. We're all human and deserve to be able to make mistakes and grow from them.
I'm going to main tag this because I'm tired of getting messages like this, apologies if you try to avoid discourse I promise I won't make a habit of this.
There's a lot wrong with your reasoning here: first, you don't know either of them, or anyone in the band personally and you're not their pr team so it's not your place to give critiques on their relationship or image. The 5sos guys and their team know how they want to be perceived by the public more than fans do. Now if one of the guys does something problematic then by all means call them out, but if you're operating on guilt by association then you must have a problem with everyone in public eye since I guarantee nearly every celebrity/influencer is friends with someone "problematic".
Second: You're overestimating how much your opinion matters to the guys. Calum made a point in their most recent Zach Sang interview that the band is coexisting with their personal lives instead of running it, so why would he break up with someone he clearly loves to appease some fans? The guys have never made personal decisions based on the fan's demands, so why would they start now? I've been a fan since 2014 and the current treatment of Brandy is exactly the same as Crystal in 2017 and Michael clearly didn't break up with her. This is the first time Calum has gone public with a relationship so he must believe that she's the one. No amount of hate or criticism is going to make them break up, the only thing you're going to accomplish is hurting their mental health and driving both of them, and probably the band as a whole, further off social media.
Third: Much of the backlash she's getting now is fueled by racism and misogyny. All of the guys and their partners have done/said something problematic but for some reason people only care about Brandy. The amount of people slut shaming them because she was sex worker is absurd and embarrassing. I was on her tiktok back when there were only rumors of them dating and so many people claimed she had "Arzaylea vibes" when they only thing they have in common is their ethnicity. I've seen fans say they don't like Brandy because she looks like Arz, which is blatantly racist and also not true. People are also claiming she's "rubbing their relationship in" by posting pictures at Calum's house and wearing is clothes. This is absurd and implies that most fans wants to date Calum. Why do people celebrate Sierra, Crystal, and Margaret posting about the guys but demonize Brandy? Not to mention the blatant misogyny in believing that she's only dating Calum for attention. I really thought we moved past the "woman bad and attention whore" behavior. If you want to hold Brandy accountable for the things you feel they've done wrong then you better take that same energy to the rest of the band.
Fourth: Brandy isn't as problematic as people like to claim she is. The "lesbophobic" thing she tweeted was that, in her own experience, both men and lesbians invalidated her sexuality in the same way. While it might be ignorant to compare men and lesbians, nothing about that statement is lesbophobic. She also already apologized years ago for tweeting it. The backlash she's gotten for talking about her experiences as a bisexual woman is honestly biphobic but nobody seems to care about that. People were outraged she taught Calum the word "slore", but they later clarified that Calum only used it to refer to himself. Why does it matter what they call themselves/each other as long as they aren't slut shaming other women? What right do we as fans have to police their vocabulary, as long as they aren't being racist/homophobic/etc? It's absurd to accuse a former sex worker of slut shaming when there are multiple posts on their various social media accounts celebrating women and encouraging them to act however they want without feeling shame. The only thing they've tweeted that warrants backlash is "war is dickriding behavior" about the Ukraine and Russia war. People were absolutely correct in calling her out for this, it's insensitive and borderline joking about the situation. However, "dickriding" is slang for awful behavior and she apologized for tweeting it. I'm not defending the tweet, but the fact that fans are using it to justify hating her proves that they were looking for reasons to hate. If we condemned people for making one mistake then there would be no one left. We should be allowed to make mistakes, learn from them, and grow as people.
Finally: If you don't like the content on my blog then feel free to block me. I don't usually main tag posts that are intentionally controversial. This blog is meant to be a place to celebrate the guys and I choose to also post about their partners, there's plenty of other people who only post about the guys if that's the content you prefer. There's also a plethora of "drama" accounts you can find to rant about the guys and their partners if you want. Chances are I won't change my opinion, so you, and anyone else for that matter, are wasting your time sending messages like this.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ID: A square with a pale green background and dark green text that says: AcesAndAros.org, You don’t have to be “born this way” for the way you are to be valid! At the bottom there are grey and green color blocks in the shape of rocks and a plant. Image two is identical but in purple rather than green.]
So many people believe that our gender identities and sexual orientations have been with us since the day we were born, but that story can be really restrictive and invalidating.
For decades, activists have argued that queer and trans people deserve rights because they didn’t “choose” their identity: because they were “born this way.” As the argument goes, if I was “born gay,” that must have been how God wanted me to be. How then could my lifestyle be wrong?
LGBTQ+ rights have long been built on the “born this way” narrative. Instead of arguing that people deserve rights because same-sex attraction and trans identity are wonderful experiences that should be honored and celebrated, activists argued that people shouldn’t be punished for something they had no choice over. This whole narrative portrays queer and trans identity as lesser-than experiences that should be avoided at all costs. It implies that being straight and being cis are better, but we can’t help how we feel.
The truth is, sexuality and gender identity are far more complex and fluid than “born this way” suggests. People’s identities can change over time; they can change as a result of trauma; they can change alongside environment and culture shifts.
Sexual orientations and gender identities don’t exist independently of our other experiences either. Sexuality and gender can be influenced by neurodivergence, disability, upbringing, life events, and more.
None of these facts make queer or trans identity any less real or valid. None of these facts mean we shouldn’t accept people for who they are. Sexual orientations and gender identities should be respected and celebrated, regardless of circumstance.
It’s totally okay to be attracted to the same gender, and it’s perfectly okay to have sex with people who share your gender identity. There’s nothing wrong with that!
It’s completely alright to be in an intimate relationship with someone who shares your gender identity. It’s still perfectly okay even if you weren’t “born that way.”
It’s absolutely fine to have no interest in sex with other people! There’s nothing wrong with you if you aren't attracted to other people, no matter the reason!
It’s totally fine to be single or non-partnering for any reason - whether you feel you were “born that way” or not!
It’s entirely okay to be in a relationship or partnership (of any kind) with a person of any gender, and your relationship isn’t any less valid if you aren’t attracted to them or to people who share their gender identity.
There are so many gender identities and presentations that go beyond masculine cis men and feminine cis women, and every single one of them is wonderful. The way you were born should never limit how you feel and how you want to express yourself!
Straight is not the default. Cis is not the default. Sex and romance are not the default. There is no such thing as “normal.”
All our identities are valid whether we’re pan, bi, aro, two-spirit, trans, lesbian, ace, genderqueer, gay, nonbinary, agender, or anything else! No gender identity or sexual orientation is more “real,” more “normal,” or more “acceptable” than any other.
A lack of interest in sex or romance never needs to be fixed, even if you weren’t “born that way.” You don’t need to be “born asexual” to not want sex. You don’t need to be “born aromantic” to not want romance. You’re perfectly fine just as you are, and there’s no reason for you to need to change.
You don’t have to be “born this way” for the way you are to be valid!

Let me start by saying, I’m really not trying to pick a fight. I’m not coming into this discussion with the intent of calling anyone out. But I do have to ask - is it possible that their definition of supporting others who came before him is a little narrow?
Because the way I see it, Harry is closeted. Which means, even his support of LGBTQ+ artists is, in some manner, limited by his contractual obligations. Just like his gender expression through fashion, there are likely strings attached, and contractual safeguards to mitigate him coming off ‘too queer’ or ‘too supportive’ (in a way that there’s no longer plausible deniability). And yet, even with those image restrictions he has: used his platform to shed the spotlight on young queer designers (Harris Reed, Alejandro Gomez Palomo), made an effort to ensure many of his opening acts are LGBTQ+ (MUNA, King Princess, Orville Peck), continuously worked with other vocally queer creatives (Emma Corrin, David Dawson, Michael Grandage, Greg Berlanti, Harry Lambert, Alessandro Michele), used most of his recent promotion as consistent displays of his support for gender nonconforming fashion (The Guardian, Vogue, Dazed), and launched Pleasing, with one of the brands objectives explicitly stated as “dispelling the myth of the non-binary”.
So, is he at the helm of every single Pride parade? No.
Is he the lynchpin in LGBTQ+ activism? No.
Is he receiving praise that, in an ideal world, should be equally spread around to all LGBTQ+ celebrities, especially those before him? Yes, absolutely.
But does that mean that he’s not doing his part for the community in the areas where he finds wiggle room?
Does him not being out automatically invalidate every single way he has thoughtfully stretched his freedom to support queer artists and projects?
Activism and support isn’t always loud. Sometimes it just means quietly carving out opportunities for those who deserve it, and who can be out, and who can be loud, to make sure that they have the chance to be both authentic and successful, and to learn from those who have managed to navigate industries that are so historically and presently, blatantly stacked against LGBTQ+ artists.
(Sorry, I seem to have made a home in your inbox today. 😘)
You are welcome in my inbox ANY TIME, India. I have nothing to add that could improve on this (except to correct a typo because Pleasing is working towards "dispelling the myth of the binary" not the non-binary. 😉)

Why you should NOT date AOT boys...
Headcanon on what kind of headache you're bound for when dating the AOT boys, and why I advise you NOT to date them! Enjoy, loves!
levi - eren - armin - reiner
part two here | erwin - zeke - jean - connie
Tumblr media Tumblr media
— LEVI
He's an incredible man with a lot of talents and he'd be doing real good at his job, that dating him would give you a huge sense of pride. However, this man suffers from being emotionally constipated. He'd always keep you in the fine line of "are we or are we not?", even though you’ve been seeing each other for a long time. He’d never say “I love you” or any type of flashy display of affection. His love language is acts of service and quality time, so if you’re the type to wanting outward reassurance of how someone feels about you, Levi’s not gonna be the person to give you that. 
This problem stems from his deep, unresolved insecurity about the nature of relationship. It’s not just the “Am I good enough?”, he genuinely thinks that he is not a good person, and thus the inherent belief that everybody will abandon him in the end  — something he picks up from his traumatic childhood. He’s wary about establishing relationship because he’s afraid to succumb into his own feelings and vulnerability. He fears at certain point he has to feel and suffer the emotional consequence of being left by someone he cares for. He dreads the idea of getting caught off-guard with being fragile.
You gotta be extremely patient and understanding when it comes to Levi, the reassurance needs to come from you, and frequently too. Bluntly saying, “I’ll stick around” or “I’ll accept your shortcoming” is really soothing for Levi, because although he never shows it, he really thinks he does not deserve you.
Tumblr media
— EREN
If you wanna be frustrated in a relationship where you constantly feel like you’re in an endless coaster, then dating Eren gotta be your poison. Sure the honeymoon phase was intoxicating, sure he makes you feel like the prettiest girl in the world. The morning text, the playful neck peck out in the public, the butterflies you feel in your tummy when you catch him staring at you even from afar with those oh so enthralling green eyes. But once the honeymoon phase over, Eren is quick to get bored. Especially if you’re an unproblematic, matter-of-fact type of person. Eren likes to fight, he gets thrilled by it, and he’s high with the rush of adrenaline. He likes it if you’re jealous, if you sulk, if you argue. He likes you to be ‘childish’ because then he gets to be the adult, the savior, the knight in shining armor. It grinds his gears. If you’re unfazed by his antics, if you’re easy to forgive, if you’re chill, Eren will think that you’re not really into him, and will exit the closest door out before his ego gets bruised even further.
Eren is sort of babied by people around him – his parents, his friends, and constantly being compared to his older brother doesn’t help either. He realizes that he got saved a lot of times by a lot of people. And this creates a deeply rooted insecurity with him that turns into an incessant impostor syndrome. The constant thought of not being good enough and the idea that all the achievement he’s ever got was the result of someone else’s help really crush him. You can shower him with praises and reassurance, but he would completely dismiss it, because he thinks your compliments are not based on objective views and that he does not deserve it. He painfully seeks for approval from any authority figure that (he thinks) does not have any emotional connection with him. And it can be really hurtful when he constantly dismisses your sincere compliments while desperately chasing from others who don’t care about him.
Tumblr media
— ARMIN
It’s really hard to hate Armin. He’s a really nice man through and through, but what is his strength can also be his deepest weakness. He’s too nice and unsure about a lot of things. He knows he is knowledgeable, but he often doubts himself for being too ‘text-book smart’. Which is a valid cause, because at times he would get very oblivious to how relationship works, and treat feelings like it’s a quantifiable system. It will literally take years for him to finally get down and say how he feels about you, because all these times he was so busy filling the check-list in his mind to convince himself whether you truly like him or not, even though you couldn’t be any clearer with your intention towards him.
He is perceptive with what you think and how you feel, unfortunately this does not materialize into any action as he doubts his own intuition when it comes to his significant other. He fears that his own sentimentality has affected his intuitive judgment and thus deems it invalid, which is completely untrue because every hunch he has about you has always been accurate! That’s just how much he understands and knows you from years of quietly observing and taking each of your word into account.
He really relies on you sitting him down and telling him in details how you feel and the things you expect from him. He will do it, in a flash with no hesitation, but really, he just needs that verbal affirmation that he is doing the things that you want, and it’s not just based on his assumption. So, if you like sweet surprises, impulsive dates and expect your significant other to read your mind, Armin might not be the person.
Tumblr media
— REINER
Oh my, truthfully, he is such a sweetheart, and can be completely smitten for the entirety of his life if he has found that one person. However, it’s a treacherous road for both Reiner and you to get to that stage. Initially, when you start to get closer to him, he may seem rigid and uninterested. The first date you had with him probably went awkward and although you really liked him, you were pretty sure he didn’t like you back, until he texted you the morning after, asking for a second date. That’s basically how being with Reiner is, a series of you being sure that he feels nothing towards you, only for his following action to prove the otherwise. He is really awful in displaying his emotion, he tries to be stoic all the time, and it often frustrates you because you cannot really tell how he feels, and you fear that you might have hurt him without realizing.
He may start to open up, only when you open up first about yourself. He thrives in romance with someone who he thinks shares his inner pain, and that’s very important for him, because he is always in a position where everyone expects him to be strong, and to have a significant other that understands his struggle is all he wants. But this gets hard for you, because sometimes Reiner’s sadness can be quite extreme and you cannot match that. Once Reiner realizes that you’re not on the same boat, he may become withdrawn, as he thinks he’s a burden and inadequate for you, and may end up self-sabotaging the whole relationship he has with you.
Although he does not like to admit it, but Reiner often slips into his sadness too deep, that it almost seems like he victimizes himself with his self-hatred. He will be the one to say stupid shit like, “You deserve someone better.” Or “I cannot make you happy.” When in fact you are perfectly willing to be with him all the way through.
With Reiner, you gotta be the bigger person, with bigger gestures and bigger patience. It’s because Reiner needs an anchor and a figure to lean on. In returns he would be the best lover that you will ever have for he is selfless and will be helplessly devoted to you.
Tumblr media
Racking my brain writing for the rest of the boys (Erwin, Jean, Connie, Pocko) because they're the ones we SHOULD date.
Update: Thanks thanks thanks for everyone who read this! I received a lot of love and you dunno how much this encourages me to keep going. Anyway, 2 things:

Dear Fellow Bisexuals
Tumblr media
Happy pride month! Here are some (hopefully) reassuring words for anyone who’s feeling frustrated, discouraged, or invalid.
———————————————————————
• There’s nothing wrong with being bisexual.
Being attracted to more than one gender does not mean you are greedy, unfaithful, indecisive, manipulative, predatory, attention-seeking, slutty, transphobic, or whatever else the stereotypes say.
Harmful stereotypes that make assumptions about people based on who they love and paint everyone with the same brush are beyond ridiculous. They don’t define you as a person.
• Your levels of attraction don’t have to be 50/50.
Having a gender preference is okay.
Not having a gender preference is okay.
Having a preference for the same gender is okay.
Having a preference for the opposite gender is okay.
Having a preference for nonbinary people is okay.
Being attracted to two genders equally is okay.
Being attracted to all genders equally is okay.
Having a preference that changes is okay.
Every bisexual person experiences attraction differently. Having a lean towards a particular gender doesn’t mean you’re “faking it” or lying about who you are and it certainly doesn't make you any less bisexual.
• No matter who you’re with, you’re still bisexual.
You’re dating/married to a man? You’re still bi.
You’re dating/married to a woman? You’re still bi.
You’re dating/married to a nonbinary person? You’re still bi.
You’ve only/mostly been with men? You’re still bi.
You’ve only/mostly been with women? You’re still bi.
You’ve only/mostly been with nonbinary people? ...Guess what? You’re still hella bi.
Being in a relationship with a person of one gender does not negate your attraction to other genders. You didn’t ”pick a side”, you just found a person you love. There’s nothing wrong with that. You’re still bisexual.
• Your attraction to multiple genders does not make you “lesser” or “secondary” to others.
Try not to pay any mind to the biphobic members of the LGBT community who insult and exclude you because they don’t think you’re “gay enough.”
Everyone is equal; being “better” or “more LGBT” than others shouldn’t be a thing that some people out there believe in. We’re supposed to stand together.
• You are allowed to attend Pride.
It’s LGBT, not LGT. You’re part of this community, too. You have the right to celebrate who you are, support others, and fight for visibility and acceptance like everyone else can, regardless of who you’re dating or married to.
However, you don’t have to go to Pride if you don’t want to. You shouldn’t force yourself to go if you feel uncomfortable with doing so for whatever reason. It’s your decision. ’Nuff said.
———————————————————————
The point is, you matter.
There’s nothing wrong with who you are.
Your feelings are natural and valid.
Don’t let anyone try to make you feel like you’re not worth it.
You deserve better than that.

Secrets in a Foreign Language (Part Seven) - Jungkook
sorry it took so long for an update!
<<previous_next>>
—————————————
You were heartbroken. How someone you hadn’t known very long could make it hurt so badly you weren’t sure. But man, did it hurt.
So many times over the next week you debated just showing up at his place, hearing his side, figuring out a next step together. You missed him.
But then you would recall him telling you to get in the closet, acting like a coward, like you were his meaningless dirty little secret. Reminding yourself of these things kept you from going over there.
In fact, you barely left your apartment at all. The same loneliness of when you first moved to Seoul becoming ever so prevalent again. You vowed to try and go out and make friends when all this Jungkook stuff was just a distant memory.
However, it proved difficult to make it all fade away in your mind since you were still scheduled to clean his apartment. To go back to the place where it all came to a beginning. And an abrupt end.
With hesitation, you slipped the key into the lock of the front door the following Tuesday. You insisted he not be there that last time you saw him, but what if he wanted to reconcile? You gulped and opened the black wooden door.
Silence.
He wasn’t on the couch in front of the tv waiting for you. He wasn’t in the kitchen eating a bowl of cereal. He wasn’t in the master bathroom taking a quick shower. Jungkook wasn’t here. You didn’t know if you felt relieved or disappointed, but you didn’t give yourself time to think about it as you immediately noticed the state of the home. It wasn’t cleaned like all the weeks prior. It was lived in, messy even.
So that was it. Back to square one. You alone in the apartment of a famous and wealthy Korean celebrity with a job to do.
-
 A few days later you were laying on the couch in your studio loft apartment. It was dark outside since it was 12:47am, the only light was coming from the iridescent blue glow of the television. This had become a routine now, you turning on the tv but not watching anything in particular, just so there was noise and something to get your mind off everything. Some nights you never even made it upstairs to your bed.
And tonight your eyes began to slowly drift shut, your thoughts traveling elsewhere, the beginning of sleep taking over.
All of the sudden, you heard Jungkook’s name from the television. Or had you dreamt it? However, when your eyes opened in shock and confusion, his ever familiar face appeared on the screen. It was the same show you had seen while scrolling channels at Jungkook’s a couple months ago you realized, the trashy one where random people discuss the lives of famous actors and musicians. You sat up and tried to focus on the delayed English subtitles coming up at the bottom of the screen.
 “… an official statement from both their companies was released.”
“So, it is true?”
“I would say that solidifies it.”
Cho-hee’s picture popped up. Followed by one taken outside at night of her and Jungkook walking and laughing. Then a graphic of a zig-zag shaped rip formed between their bodies, and the picture ripped in half, a broken heart and crying face appearing between them.
 “Wow. They seemed so happy. I really thought this would last.”
“They’re so young and busy, no need to settle down yet.”
“But still, this begs the question… is love even real?”
 *laughter*
 Then they moved on to talking about another kpop idol.
Your felt your heart pound inside your chest. Jungkook and Cho-hee had “broken up”? Their companies had let them? They were no longer in a secret fake relationship? You couldn’t help but wonder what happened.
With shaky hands, you picked up your phone from the coffee table and opened the internet. Curiosity was getting the better of you, your desire to read those statements greater than your will to stop yourself from trying to remove all evidence of Jeon Jungkook from your brain.
 ‘Hello,
This is a representative from HYBE Corporation commenting in regard to the relationship between our artist Jeon Jungkook and fellow artist Kim Cho-hee. At this time, Ms. Kim and Mr. Jeon have mutually decided to part ways due to their careers and lack of schedule alignment. Going forward, there will no longer be any updates on the matter, and any information regarding their relationship from outside sources is invalid. Please respect the artists’ decision and privacy during this time.
Thank you.
HYBE Corp.: PR Department’
 You stared at your phone in shock, rereading it a couple times to make sure it was real.
So, they really ended their fake relationship? Was because of Jungkook or Cho-hee? Or their companies? What was the real reason? Who was the perpetrator?
So many theories and questions ran through your head, furthering your exhaustion, and soon enough you drifted off to sleep, head full of images and thoughts of Jeon Jungkook.
 -
The following Tuesday started off like any other. The sound of your alarm blaring woke you up out of a deep sleep at 4:00 in the morning. You groaned and hit the snooze button, questioning why you chose a job where you had to work so early… and basically all your other life decisions. (You were, in fact, not a morning person).
Eventually you sat up and rubbed your puffy eyes, removing the sleep from their corners. You yawned and stretched your arms up high before reaching for your phone on your nightstand. You checked Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, of course, then like every morning, you opened your work schedule, just to see if there had been any changes to the course of the day ahead.
 And boy, was there.
 For under the 2pm slot was the same unit number that had been there for weeks, however this time one word next to it caught your immediate attention.
 Vacancy.
You stopped dead in your tracks.
Wait, what?
Clearly this was wrong. This was Jungkook’s apartment! There was no way it was now empty. He had never mentioned the fact that he wanted to move, that he was going to move. This would have come up in a conversation with him at least once if it was this sudden.
Yes, his stuff would still be there when you arrived to clean this afternoon. He still owned it, still lived there. He wasn’t gone. Right?
Wrong.
To your surprise, when you opened the door, the entire apartment was empty. Everything was gone. It was cold and echo-y and barren. Dust covered the hardwood floors of the living room where the rug had laid. Harsh sunlight poured in through the large windows, no longer shielded by the curtains that had previously been hanging there. The walls were now bare, small holes left from the various works of art that were once on display.
The memories of the times being with Jungkook flooded your brain almost instantly. Playing games and watching shows and movies on his large sofa. The time he admitted he was cleaning just so he could hang out with you. When you would two would sit at the kitchen island and eat delicious food, talking and laughing about anything and everything. When he told you he had feelings for you. The first of many times you made love.
Overcome by those thoughts, you finally allowed yourself to break down.
The sound of your sobs and unsteady breathes bounced off the walls and echoed throughout the room, tears cascading down your hot cheeks.
Maybe you were being dramatic. Maybe Jungkook had turned out to be a coward. Maybe he had been using you for sex and company. Maybe he had lied about having feelings for you. Who knows?
But even if had been all pretend for him, you had still fallen in love with him.
You could finally admit that the past two weeks since you saw him last you may have been holding on to some kind of hope. Hope that he wasn’t a coward, hadn’t been using you, did have feelings for you; and all that would become evident if you ever saw each other again, if he was ever at his apartment when you came to clean like he had been so many other times.      
But now it was as if the universe was laughing at you for falling for someone so unattainable and complicated.
He was gone, and you had no way of contacting him.
Eventually you pulled yourself together enough to start the long cleaning process for a vacant unit. Every surface, cupboard, drawer, nook and cranny had to be spotless so new potential buyers could tour the home.
You started in the living room: vacuuming, mopping and dusting, making sure the floor, walls, and windows were shining.
Then you moved into the adjoining kitchen, spraying and wiping every countertop, the refrigerator, the island. You even had to open each drawer and cabinet to wipe those down, too.
But as you opened the last upper cabinet to clean its inside as well, you suddenly caught your breath in your throat.
For there inside the cupboard was a box of cereal. Your favorite cereal. The same kind of cereal you had eaten with Jungkook in this very kitchen the first day you met.
He must have just left it on accident.
With a shaky hand, you grabbed it and brought it down to eye level. That’s when you noticed the envelope taped to the front of the box.
Your heart pounding, you ripped it off and tore it open.
Inside was a letter, and as you unfolded it something fell out and into your hand.
It was a ticket.
To a BTS fanmeeting event.
What?
Your eyes moved to the handwritten letter.
 ‘There are so many things I wish I had done differently. You didn’t deserve what I asked of you that day. I’m so sorry I handled everything so poorly. I don’t blame you for questioning everything and leaving. I was a coward. I know this now.
Please, please come see me. Please come to this event. I understand if you don’t. I just want nothing more than to see you and talk to you again.’
 And then, at the very bottom,
 ‘보고 싶어요
사랑해요
JK’.

Asahi x gn! Reader
Warning: angst to fluff
Requested by: @redbabydoll “I have no clue how to use tumblr so I’m sorry if this is not the right place to do a request 🥲 but if you’re willing to do it could you please do like an angst to fluff with Aone or Asahi or even Yaku? I feel like they’re so underrated and I struggle to find content about them. Anywho have a great day!!!!! 🙃🙃”
A/N: AHHHH MY FIRST REQUEST 😭❤️, oh no worries darling I’ve been there! It’s understandable, you could request in my asks though so yep i do hope that i made it angsty for you. A special thanks for proofreading and beta reading this @reallifemoana labyu bitch😘🥰❤️
Tumblr media
It was a surprise when you accepted Asahi’s feelings, he was ready to get rejected yet you held his hands and said yes, he changed his mind he was ready to marry you.
To be fair everyone was shocked when they got the news about you and Asahi dating, The volleyball club was happy for him and was enthusiastic yet other students didn’t like it.
You were popular at school, some would say you were on par with Kiyoko Shimizu. People like you and are always around you that’s why Asahi thought how could someone like YOU, basically a celebrity at school, notice HIM of all people?
Nevertheless you two were having a pretty steady relationship… but not until people started to get restless and irritated. This was when your once steady and stable relationship started becoming a rocky and bumpy road.
“So are you dating anyone?”
You looked at the random guy who just came to flirt with you, confused as to why he even bothered asking that. Everyone in the whole school KNEW that you’re dating someone so why is he still asking this?
“Yes i am”
“Ah… you mean that volleyball dude?”
“He has a name you know and yes I am still dating him”
“Aw damn! And here I thought you two would have already broken up”
“Excuse me? Why’d you say that?”
“I mean come on, look at him! You’re seriously gonna keep on dating him?”
“Compared to your sorry ass, yes, yes I am”
Of course this wouldn’t go unheard about with boyfriend as he was their main target. Getting a lot of whispers and murmurs, a lot of back handed compliments even though the team and you encourage him to not let any of that get to him, it still does.
It became his biggest insecurities, he started doubting himself. He’d constantly question himself if he was he even worthy to call himself your boyfriend? Maybe not.
Because of that he started to avoid you as much as possible, short text, short calls, whenever you two would go home together the walk remained silent and awkward even if you tried making conversation he would reply with short and curt answers.
This continued for two weeks until you finally had enough. Asking for the volleyball team to lend you a hand, since Asahi wasn’t doing well at practices either and it started pissing coach Ukai off.
“Make sure that Asahi is in tip top shape tomorrow y/n or else I’m gonna make hinata our new ace”
“Don’t worry Ukai-san leave it to me”
Asahi looked confused when he got kicked out of the gym, i mean sure he was off his game lately but that’s why he’s practicing right?
“Don’t come back here not until you talk to them”
Daichi said in a stern tone with his arms crossed, while Suga was ready to ‘negativity begone’ Asahi’s ass in the background.
But before Asahi could answer they immediately slammed the door in his face, leaving him dumbfounded.
“Talk to who?” he asked himself…
“Hey babe”
Asahi tensed up as he heard your voice, slowly turning around to see you standing there with a smile.
“Can you come with me for a sec?” you asked
He reluctantly followed you to the schools’ garden and avoided making eye contact with you as much as he could. Once you both arrived at the garden you turned to look at him with your arms crossed over your chest.
“Why are you avoiding me?” you asked him with a stony face.
He looked at you but then looked away right after , he doesn’t want to answer that, not to you at least. Pursing your lips together you took a deep breath.
“Asahi why are you avoiding me?”
“I’m not”
“Yes you are! You can’t even look at me”
You were getting frustrated, he wasn’t making any sense and all you wanted to know is why is he was being so distant.
“Y/N look I’m not avoiding you ok? Now I need to go back to practice”
He was about to walk past you when you grabbed his hand. He’s not getting away, not until he explains himself.
“Asahi please” you pleaded
“Y/N not now”
“It’s because of me isn’t it?”
He turned to look at you just to meet those sad eyes, no it wasn’t because of you, it was because of… him.
“No”
“Then why?”
He sighed as he stood in front of you debating whether he should tell you or not.
“It’s… it’s because of me, Ok?”
“What? What do you mean” Confusion evident on your face.
“Y/N look I- I’ve been thinking....is it really ok for me to be your boyfriend?”
That question shocked you but it also pissed you off.
“What the hell Asahi?! What kind of question is that??? Of course it’s Ok!”
“No”
“What do you mean no?”
“No it’s not ok”
You were confused as to why he was saying those things, why does he think it’s not? Is he dumb?
“Y/N you know people says that too right?”
“Asahi how many times—“
“Look y/n i know that I’m not the best person for you-”
“Babe—“
“And i know! That someday you’ll leave me because you’ll find someone better than me ok?!”
You just stood there, his words slowly sinking in. What the hell is he saying?! Find someone better?! Leave him?!
“What the hell are you saying? I won’t leave you, ok? I won’t leave you because I LOVE you”
“You’ll break up with me eventually”
“No I won’t, that’s not true”
“Yes it is y/n”
You’re starting to get dejected with every passing seconds, he looked away not wanting to meet your eyes.
“I’m no good for you”
“How can you say that as if it’s a fact?!”
“BECAUSE IT IS A FACT!”
The sudden raise of his voice surprised you, his eyes still reflects frustration and it looked like he doesn’t have any plans on cooling down.
“HOW CAN YOU! YOU Y/N! HOW CAN YOU EVEN LIKE ME?! WHY?!”
“BECAUSE YOU’RE KIND!”
Asahi snapped out of his thoughts as he watched those frustrated tears drip down your face non-stop and now it was your turn to glare at him.
“BECAUSE YOU’RE KIND, AND YOU’RE SWEET, YOU’RE A GENTLEMAN”
You were trying to keep your voice sturdy, wishing that your words would at least get through his head.
“AND I’VE SEEN YOU PLAY AND I CAN TELL HOW PASSIONATE YOU ARE AND I LIKE THAT! NO I LOVE THAT! I LOVE HOW HARDWORKING YOU ARE, OK?!”
Standing there speechless, Asahi let your words sink into his mind and heart.
“I LIKE YOU FOR YOU ASAHI!! HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT?!”
Asahi was about to say something but he decided to let you express all your pent up feelings, he wanted you to tell him how you really feel, he wants to hear you.
“SO WHY?..WHY ARE YOU LETTING THEIR WORDS GET TO YOU INSTEAD OF MINE?! WHY WOULD YOU DOUBT YOURSELF?! WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT YOU’RE NOT ENOUGH FOR ME WHEN IN FACT YOU’RE MORE THAN ENOUGH! YOU’RE MORE THAN I COULD EVER ASK FOR”
You were starting to hiccup furiously as tears continuously streamed down your face which made Asahi panic, slipping his hand out of yours he ran to his bag he got his water bottle out to give to you. As you finally calmed down Asahi just stood there, he wanted to hug you but he didn’t deserve that right now. So instead he let his chin rest on the top of your head.
“Why can’t you just believe me when I say I love you?”
“I do”
“Then why did you have to say stuff like that?” You asked sniffling.
Asahi sighed, his reasons were very invalid, he knew that, and he new they were just insecurities caused by what others would say about your relationship.
“Because...because you’re different than me, I think that you’re on a different level than I am..that’s why I said those things”
He kissed the top of your head then let his cheek rest atop your head.
“I’m sorry” He said with a frown on his face.
“You’re not forgiven”
Asahi quickly pulled away, that’s when he really started to panic, you looked so serious he started stuttering on his words.
“E-eh? Huh? W-why? I’m so sorry that I said those things- um- um I’ll make sure to not say those again! I PROMISE! S-so uh- can you please please PLEASE forgive me? I really am sorry” He asked pleadingly.
“No Asahi”
“N-no?”
“If you’re gonna make promise, do it properly”
“How?”
You held his large hands in yours, gently squeezing them, in which he squeezed back, slowly intertwining your hands with his.
“Promise me that you’ll never doubt yourself”
You looked into his eyes silently telling him that you were dead serious.
“Promise me that you won’t let their words get to you, because all the things they say about you...about us is nothing but bullshit”
“Y-Y/N! Language”
“Oh hush, just promise me that ok? Because you’re already the best person for me”
“Really?”
“YEAH! NOT ONLY YOU’RE THE ACE OF THE COURT BUT YOU’RE ALSO THE ACE OF MY HEART!!”!”
Asahi blushed furiously and laughed, this was you’re Asahi, the Asahi that you love.
“Y/N that was so cheesy”
“Hehehe really?”
He smiled at you and gave you a soft gentle kiss on the cheek.
“Yeah”
“So do you promise?”
He slowly nodded in agreement.
“Yeah”
You both giggled.
“ARE YOU TWO OK NOW?”
You both turned around and saw the whole team approaching the two of you. Hinata noticed your face and immediately gasped.
“ASAHI-SAN MADE Y/N CRY!”
They all turned to glare at Asahi and for the third time he started to panic, holding his hands up he started to think of excuse.
“N-No! Well you see...the thing is! Um..haha”
“A-SA-HI”
As soon as they all reached you two, Suga instantly hit Asahi on the head.
“ACCCK”
“HOW DARE YOU!”
“NO WAIT LET ME EXPLAIN!”
You noticed coach Ukai approaching you all and you gave him a smirk.
“I told you I’d return him in tip top shape”
“Heh, good to have our ace back”
You smiled as you watch the team scold Asahi for making you cry.
“Yeah”
“By the way that was so cheesy”
You blushed and looked at him with a surprised face.
“YOU WERE LISTENING?!”
“I accidentally heard it calm down”
“WHAT THE HELL UKAI-SAN?!”
“HEY KID LANGUAGE!”

So it may seem like a weird question but do you think there’s a possibility of EXO having 2 lgbt couples? Because I 100% think that Chanbaek is real, and yeah I’m saying I’m sure since I’ve heard and saw some things and tbh now nothing will ever made me doubt about them. And I know Kaisoo is sus too like they had their moments but then after I say to myself don’t ship them because it’s basically impossible that a group can have more than just one gay couple. I know it may sounds odd but the probability is really really low… so I just came to the conclusion that since Chanbaek is real, Kaisoo probably isn’t. And I’m not saying that to hate or something, it’s just a thought I had since weeks now and I wanted to know your opinion about it please.
I had the same ask the other way around, from a kaisooist saying the same thing coz she ships chanbaek too! So she decided to only believe in one couple (kaisoo) coz it's impossible for a band to have two gay couples. And my answer to her was "Why NOT?".
It's not like I'm invalidating them but I've seen chanbaek exes, like just pics of girls that the people claimed were their exes, but I saw Chanyeol with a girl in his studio it was a video, I don't know .. but when I asked about Kaisoo's girlfriends or Ex-gfs i never get anything! But for CHANBAEK and Sehun I got tons of pics and accounts of their Exes and current girlfriends.
Some sources say BAEKHYUN is dating now a non celebrity and she is so cute but she isn't nice and most of korean LS hate her and say shit about her and how she doesn't deserve Baek 🤷🏻‍♀️
But I can't believe it I've never seen him with any girl when I ask for pics! But i got chanyeol's instead. I don't know..
I know chanyeol's recent GF and they say she brokeup with him when his 10girlfriends scandal popped out and he was so heartbroken, coz she believed rumors but not him and now he went to military and is single!
But I got no evidence of chanyeol with any of his Exes but only that one video that I saw of him, in his studio with a girl leaning on his shoulder while making music at 1am and someone was filming them! someone chanyeol trusted filmed them coz that person was with Chanyeol in his own studio two meters away from him and his claimed gf! And was taking the video from the couch facing Chanyeol's screen where he was making music with his GF. I mean I'm sure the person who filmed it was from NNG studio coz no one would be allowed in Chsnyeols studio at 1am but his own crew right?? But that person betrayed chanyeol by posting that video! And now it's circulating for months! I saw it in last October during Chanyeol's scandal.
Or maybe that girl was only a staff of his NNG crew and when she was leaning on his shoulders while both of them making music coz she is a composer/producer i heard and she laughed and punched his arm..maybe they are just close friends?? But ppl say she is his GF and i heard many times before that chanyeol was dating a producer/composer.. but.. I mean..I lean on my male friends and I even hug them and kiss them on the cheeks and smack them all the time 🤷🏻‍♀️
I've heard korean Ls talking about Baekyeon being real and hating on Baek and dissing taeyeon calling her shameless for dating a rookie hoobae whom is 3 years younger than her and that BAEKHYUN was seeking validation and fame from her coz she was famous and his senior! I mean why would they be mad if it was a media play.? I don't know. I know for a fact Taeyeon loved baekhyun and she gifted him a lot of presents! But if he loved her or was pressured to date her ?? That i don't know!
So chanbaek had given me a headache back in 2018 so I stopped checking on them coz I couldn't find too many sources to assure me! So I left.
So i can't confirm anything to you as I don't have solid proof and we never share anything on this account without being a 100% sure with evidence we were shown. Sorry.
