My answer to every question: why not both?
I argue semantics because specificity matters, and I tend to take things literally because my brain is spicy as heck. Also, I can't spell.
My job is library.
I'm moospen on AO3, if you like fanfic.
If you weren't planning on sobbing today, i have news for you...
Love exists
A few months ago, I received an ask talking about āqueer menā, stating that theyāre known for casual, not-lasting relationships and that they donāt usually commit to a single partner. I donāt remember anonās exact words, but it was so messed up and disrespectful that I decided to post just a screenshot of its first lines, to express my disgust and reply without actually disturbing peopleās timelines with all that shit.
Lately Iāve tried to inform myself more and be more aware of what the members are actually going through. I wanted to distance myself from all the catastrophic, hell-like scenarios people talk about when they refer to the military life; but I also wanted to consider and reflect on that side, for what it is and isnāt, and for what we can (or at least I can) know, because being honest means admitting thatās not the best environment to be in right now. Mentally, physically, politically speaking as well. The worldās a tense nerve and I dare to say the big majority of the men in there would have chosen to stay home, living their own lives. As Jimin said, āitās not like I want to: I have to goā.
Iāve come to terms with the fact that it has to be done, or at least Iām getting there. 4 out of 5 stages of grief. Videos of Namjoon pop up on my twitter and I watch them. I donāt know if Iām supposed to or not, but I do. And my first thought is āI miss himā, even though new music is coming and weāve got content to enjoy of 10+ years worth and itās not like we shared the same neighborhood anyways. But the truth is I miss the life I know heās missing. I almost and probably hyperbolically feel like Iām the one who has to go through intense training and early alarms waiting for a free weekend to visit a museum. Because I know he would choose art if he could, instead of arms.
And the more I think about it, the more my brainās crossed by the same thought-sequence each time: theyāre serving and theyāre away, theyāre gonna settle and come back quickly, I hope theyāre safe.
But with Jimin and Jungkook the thought sequence is different, and I catch my brain correcting itself everytime. Cause sometimes Iām eating and ask myself how Jungkookās doing in those kitchens, and some very often times I start thinking about Jimin cutting his hair the very last day available, and realize how discreetly but honestly he showed his mixed and negative feelings about the departure. I feel the same way I do for the others, that gut thing that hurts my stomach a bit, for a few seconds. Or the resigned expression on my face making me frown.
But then I remember theyāre together. And it was so unexpected for me that even now, now that weāve known for a while, itās not foregone. I need to remember myself it happened, itās happenening, they chose each other, and give myself some selfish comfort.
Theyāre not attached at the hip, thatās a fact. They have different jobs and times, probably interact with different groups of people most of the time and Iām sure theyāre facing individual struggles that the other wonāt as well. Theyāre not on vacation.
But what warms my heart is that theyāre always coming back to each other. Maybe some days are easier and theyāre around each other, but some others are for sure more busy and require them to spend time in different areas of the camp. And even during those times theyāre coming back to each other. At the end of the day thatās their peace.
I think we all imagine ourselves in othersā situations sometimes. I do that often, literally projecting my entire life and body and possible feelings/reactions into theirs. And with the members it happens often, even though my personality is probably similiar to a couple of them. During tours, for example, Iām always wondering āhow would I feel on that big stage?ā, or reading one of their tweet imagining how it feels to post something that gets instantly seen, reposted, commented by thousands and thousands of people.
And since Jin left Iām always thinking āhow would I feel, how does it feel?ā, because I donāt know what Iād do if I was the eldest of the group, the first one to enlist, and medias, journalists, press, public opinion and āfansā all gathered together criticizing me for not being enlisted yet, telling me to ājust hurry up and goā, judging me and putting pressure on me in a way that Iāve probably never experienced before in my long, respect worthy and deserved career. I paved the way for each one of you fools and thatās what I get in return. Iād be mad and exhausted.
With Jimin and Jungkook I tried to imagine how Iād feel if I was thrown in this rough and crazy experience with bullets and everything all over my body, hair cut, number on the helmet and a fucking dog tag around my neck just in case the worst happens, and having someone I love, I know, I trust, I chose to be with, someone Iāve spent years with sharing moments and memories and tears and dreams, fights in the rain and all, by my side. Ending my day in a completely new, challenging, unfair (speaking in terms of principles, above all), uncomfortable environment, and seeing that same face Iāve seen growing changing crying and laughing since we were young dumb and broke. If you let me, that would heal me a little.
Now what I said at the beginning, about anonās ask, concerns exactly this. Iāll never justify those words, never discuss about it, Iām not opened to conversation with that specific person whoever they are. But I have to admit that goes around a lot. Like a lot. āHow can you believe two of the hottest men in Korea have been committed to each other for years?ā, or also āwhy would they commit to each other when they could actually have anyone at anytime everywhere and whenever they want, for one night?ā. And I get it, fast food-love-feelings-everything capitalistic societyās idiot, you want that dopamine now and you want it all just to let it go by the morning and crave it again at night. I see it. Lasting things are boring and who wants to be bored and sad, when you can fly high all the time.
My relaxed, white-flag, fast answer right now would just be that love exists. And Iām talking about every healthy, pure, real form of love. Loving books or loving people, loving your cat or loving your mom. It exists and it must be such a crazy chemical reaction for people to experience, because that love made Jimin and Jungkook respect and take care of each other since 2013, even when we couldnāt see it, when it was fresh, new, when it needed attentions and time and surely made them make mistakes like a kid growing up learning he canāt scream in the streets or make doodles on his houseās walls.
Iāve always seen their love as something theyāve raised together. Because itās easy to fall in love, but loving everyday is a choice and that exact choice for them specifically was harder than it would be for someone else, not in their position. But now I see and believe itās mature. That love which started from teasing and pushing, flirting, refusing trips or hugs but shyly hugging at night sharing the bed, is now a big boy. It will continue to grow up, it could change shape, it could last forever. As partners, as friends, as people who literally built each otherās lives adding pieces of memories to their stories. Jiminās helping Jungkook doing his lifeās puzzle and viceversa and thatās so, so, so tender. Something deep and pure keeps them tied to each other in the most healthy and committed way Iāve ever seen.
When I replied to that anon, someone in the comments (I donāt wanna bother people with any annoying notification, but the username was something like @/onthecuterside. I hope they donāt mind me mentioning), shared something so beautiful and true that itās still stuck in my mind. āIf you want endless repetition, see different people. If you want infinite variety, stay with oneā. A quote from Joni Mitchell. This comment went on talking about the fact that in a long relationship, things die and are rekindled, and this shared process of ārebirthā deepens the love. Itās hard. Sometimes you feel like you canāt stand the person you love anymore and you start thinking theyāre assholes. You look like an asshole to them as well. But once you go through it (Iād add when the love is worth doing so), you get closer, you learn a new way of loving each other, warmer and deeper. And thatās when you understand how much the other means to you.
Iām not under their bed neither Iād want to be. So I canāt say if theyāve already experienced this phase or not. Weāve seen periods of tension and moments that looked like break ups, but I canāt bet on it. The only thing I feel like knowing for sure is that they nurture their love every day, in such a gentle, spontaneous but attentive way, that I canāt even describe it. And itās unique when you realize that, at one point, it doesnāt matter anymore if theyāre actually dating or not, opinions about it all die screaming. Itās love, period, and theyāre proof it exists.
āTheyāll get tired of each other after spending 18 months togetherā. While my actual thought when I realized (because I didnāt realize as soon as I knew) they enlisted together was: ātheyāre gonna fall in love with each other againā. Theyāre gonna crave support and familiarity, someone with their same sense of humor, who understands them and has always done so, theyāre gonna meet new good people who are doing what they have to do, just like them, but none of them could ever compare to someone you met when you were 15. Theyāre gonna need each other and find each other right there.
I know for sure theyāre sitting next to each other before bed time, when the sun is down and that forest-like place theyāre living in goes quiet, and theyāre sharing with each other the new parts of themselves coming out. And thatās when theyāll get to know each other again, and disagree, and relate, and feel understood, seen, heard, and thatās when theyāll have no distractions, absolutely nothing, phone available just for a few hours, and thatās when theyāre gonna fall in love again.
āTheyāll get tired of each otherā. Oh boy. Oh man. They chose each other for years and travelled together before enlisting together, with the companion system they chose to apply to, risking it all and knowing damn well the price they had to pay for it: being together, cool, but in one of the hardest units. And the decision was made anyways. At the end of the day this bond is such a pure celebration of love that nothing touches me anymore. It really was the last piece of the puzzle. They did it privately, quietly, they protected themselves all the time, they had nothing to prove or show to anyone.
When we found out about it, I got reminded of Jungkookās birthday live when Jin brought him grapes. He told Jungkook: āIām the only one visiting you, none else cameā. And Jungkook nodding, laughing, not denying. But when Jin asked him who visited, name by name, Jungkook confessed Jimin and Hobi had actually been there. Man was like āif you ask me Iāll tell you, nothing to hide. Until then, I keep it low and safeā. And Iām not only talking about Jimin. Jungkook didnāt mention Hobi either. Itās just their way of being, their attitude. If people have nothing to do with who visits Jungkook on his birthday or doesnāt, why would he share that?
Because thatās how it works when you have nothing to prove and your relationships work and live beyond the public space. You protect what you gotta protect, do what you gotta do, and what comes out comes out, what doesnāt doesnāt. And of course we need to take consideration of context: Jikook earned a certain status and reputation, but they still have limits and restrictions that we donāt always see.
There are also endless times when Jimin and Jungkook spent time together and we found out months, days, even years later. And this is why I kept saying āthey owe us nothingā to that anon asking how they could ever handle public eye and living together, hypothetically, in the new mansion Jungkookās getting built.
Jimin and Jungkook enlisted together for themselves, they chose it for their own sake and safety. They knew it was gonna come out, and still, no public statements, no justification. No mention except for Jimin, rapidly, the day before leaving. But why would they? They didnāt do it for us. For you. We have nothing to do with this weāre just sticking our noses in. Iām doing it too lol.
So next time people will piss me off about their bond and love, Iāll follow Jimin and Jungkookās rules. I do my shit, stay sane and cool, leaving the bitching outside the door. Cause at the end of the day itās me and my baby that matter, not their moaning. At the end of the day this should have never turned into a ship proving type of thing, into a fandom war, goddamn we shouldāve all celebrated it. Treat it with care. All we should be thinking about is for them to stay safe, healthy, sane, praying and hoping theyāll be back before the world fucking explodes.
And if there was a better and warmer way to go through all of this, all the fear and discomfort, and it was together, I canāt see why Jimin and Jungkook shouldnāt have chosen it. I canāt see why people canāt appreciate things worth of support, despite personal opinions or shipping sides. While youāre kicking your feet people keep loving each other and doesnāt it feel like a waste of energy to you?
Iām just so glad love exists, and Iām really willing to gradually stop caring of anything else outside and stay on my floating island cheering for it. Avoidant coping mechanisms but I swear Iāll speak up if needed. Iām just glad I can witness its pure nature between these two young men, in different ways everytime among them all, and Iām glad weāre always talking about choices here, nothing like codependency or toxicity. Iām so glad I can acknowledge this is way too special and delicate to become or be treated as everything itās not, except for what it is.
This thought flashed in my head when i saw the most recent photos of Bam.
Maybe I'm just slow and everyone else figured this out already but maybe not, so Iām sharing it.
The Bam insta account isn't just a fun side project set up by JK while heās doing military service. He doesn't even have an account for himself*, so why would he make one for his puppy? It's not like he needs (or wants?) more followers or influence, and he could have just used his t1ct0k, where hes already got gazillions of followers.
When bowwow_bam first appeared, many comments suggested he created it to keep in touch with ARMY while he's serving in the military. And yes he DID share the account with ARMY on weverse, but I doubt that's the reason it exists.
Bowwow_bam is not for ARMY...
The photos JK gets from the training centre let him know that Bam is happy and well cared for.
Even though Bam has been in and out of the training centre often while JK has had his schedules, those stays were brief compared to 18 months. This time, Bam will basically be living there full time, long term.
Maybe this is why JK sent Bam to the training centre so often in the past, when he might have left Bam with friends or family instead. That way, the training centre became familiar to Bam before his long term stay.
Bowwow_bam is for JK
Bam's photos are likely sent to JK directly, so why post them to a public platform? And why post ONLY these?
Why?
Sure, it's a good way for JK to stay connected to ARMY with minimal effort. Let's not be foolish enough to think he doesn't care about that. It's pretty clear he wants to pick up his career where he left off when he comes back. (It goes without saying that BTS - and JK - will still have millions of fans after MS.)
But i don't believe thats the only reason Bam has an insta account, and i dont think it's the most significant reason either.
There are so many ways JK could have maintained a socials presence. If he wanted to be on insta, even just reposting old content would keep him at the forefront of ARMY's mind... if he had an insta account* that is.
It also got me thinking about what JK will be doing with his time off.
He isn't all that close to his family, he tells us. And most of his friends are idols, from what we see (although that could be selective information), so probably insanely busy with their own schedules. And his Bangtan brothers, his found family, are also doing their service. And he and Jimin are apparently on different shifts (if the information we have is correct).
So who is he connecting wiith?
Who is his link to home and normality?
This doggo right here is.
Besides letting JK know that Bam is happy and well cared for, the photos connect JK to home and give him something tangible to look forward to on the other side of his service.
They'd remind him that this episode of his life has an end date, that he has a place to return to, and that somebody is waiting for him to come home. Bam is waiting for him.
But why post them on instagram?
We know JK has a strong connection with ARMY. He's said many times that we're his safe place (debatable, honestly) and his happy place (I truly hope so). He's told us it's ARMY he talks to late at night when he's alone. He's also set clear boundaries about what he's prepared to share and how close we're allowed to come - although he blurs these lines himself sometimes... naked livestreams from his bed come to mind, but i digress...
I believe the insta account - Bam and ARMY together - is his anchor. This is his link back to his life before and after MS.
Sharing these photos from the training centre with his three (or four or five) million closest friends would validate for JK what his life has been, and will be again. It tells him we (like Bam) are still here, still waiting, without him ever having to ask.
It keeps that part of his life real for him.
Just to be clear,
I'm not downplaying the significance of Jimin and JK serving together in the companions program.
In my mind nothing could be more significant.
Jimin is with him day after exhausting day, just as he has been for the last twelve years. While that must be an enormous comfort to them both, these long and arduous days must still seem endless.
Getting through this difficult time with any sort of optimism would require something to look forward to, and recieving photos of Bam would give JK much happiness, and remind him that there is life outside of the camp.
They'd serve to remind him that at the end of it all he will see his beloved doggo in person...
...and that he and Jimin will go home and his little family will be whole again
šš°š¶š„š
*pretty sure he does tho...
~as always, opinions are my own and all of this is conjecture~
Would I prefer it if some of these things were different? Yes (i dont think the 'always single/boyfriend model' is healthy for fans or idols, personally). Does that mean I'm going to constantly yell about that, or pretend it's not real? No.
The industry is far from perfect. But it does have elements that are wonderful too, and i adore these guys beyond words so I'll support them where they are.
Reality checks in Army
Your fav doesn't inhabit a dystopian world where everyone (fandom, company, members...) universally despised him, with you as their sole supporter.
Your fav is an adult living in a democracy as part of the artistic and affluent elite, with the autonomy to make their own choices, free from external control [maybe you are not because of age or type of culture or society, but he is].
Your fav possesses greater knowledge of the music industry and his career than you do. Respect their decisions and give him credit.
Your fav is just thatāyour favorite. Embrace the diversity of artistic tastes in Army and respect everyone's freedom to choose who they support and stream in this Chapter 2
K-pop incorporates cultural elements like fanservice, skinship, bromance, and the āsingleā idol for his fans, which are inherent to the industry. So, you will always encounter "shippers" "supporters" " solos". Be respectful of the variety because that's the commercial goal of the whole fucking industry.
Thus, avoid adopting a moral high ground; being a "better fan" isn't solely determined by your hours of support/stream. Respect your fav and the diversity of his fan base +
Remember your fav simply asks you for support in their artistic work and respect for their personal boundaries. If you donāt agree, you have the option to step away.
Your fav is surrounded by a robust support network, including family, friends, advisors, counselors, and lawyers who offer professional and personal guidance when needed. They, along with your favorite, know what's best for them, not you.
You might not have affection for the people your fav cares for and decides to share the time with, but you need to respect them. You cannot alter your fav's relationships, no matter how much you wish to reshape reality. At the very least, refrain from insulting their loved ones; that's not to be the good and supportive fan you claim to be.
Your fav is their own person, not a reflection of your desires. They experience their own emotions, not yours. They lead their own life. Focus on appreciating what they offer you, and donāt try to create your own version of him (the fall will be harder)
Embrace a live-and-let-live attitude within the fandom and be respectful.
D-Day movie was amazing tonight. I'm in awe of Mr Min. His charisma, command of the stage, benevolence, talent, skill, and passion are a force to be reckoned with. Watching that footage reiterated to me why he's my bias.
I was incredibly fortunate to see that performance 3 times, including day 2 of The Final in Seoul, and so of course i saw Jimin performing with him.
I took a huge risk, jumping on a plane to Seoul at short notice and hoping that the stars would align and Jimin would be performing with him at the concert i was going to. What joy when the first bars of Tony Montana played!!
My brain definitely disengaged though, so my memories are almost as fuzzy as my footage. I have a special talent for recording abominable video at concerts.
I've read and reread your analysis of FACE--applying Freytag's pyramid plot structure--more times than I like to admit. And I keep coming back to this part:
Then we have the surreal, melancholy Dive, drawing us further into this dystopian world. It also uses sound effects to make us feel like we are being pulled through time. Dive is reminiscent of a soundtrack from a video, but it's been separated from its film reel, leaving the listener to guess and imagine the scenes unfolding. It feels like Jimin has come untethered from his reality.
Thanks for making Dive my new obsession. :)
I never thought Dive was just a throwaway addition to add time--like some have suggested--but that it is part of the trajectory of the story. And I love how--just like with every other part of FACE--it is open to interpretation. Is he running towards or away from something? Is he showing how happy he is on stage or how he pulls himself together to be the Jimin everyone expects? Is that the sound of drinking water or something else?
Yes, I like to overthink these things. Sue me.
But your eloquent description here really struck a cord--being pulled through time...untethered from his reality. Coupled with the other-worldly chord sounds, I suddenly thought of The Aquarium by the composer Saint-Saƫns. Do you know the one I mean? It gives me that feeling of looking through glass at a secretive world, where everything is mysterious and unsettling.
Anyway, you've given me a new appreciation for Dive, and solidified why it is not only important in recounting Jimin's journey, but perfectly placed on the timeline.
Thank you.
Hey Isaidnothankyou, thanks for your message! One of the aspects of FACE that keeps bringing me back to the album is the narrative.
Like you, I am captured by the role that Dive plays on its own and as part of the album. It tells such a succinct story, it could be an audition piece by a Foley artist.
But knowing that Jimin is behind it, and knowing what an intensely private person he is (like only comparatively recently did we discover he has actual walls and a ceiling in his apartment haha), i am literally stunned into silence at how intimate and revealing this piece is. I love that it has become a favourite for you too, because it is worthy of so much attention š
Do u think Jikook will ever do a collab? For an MV I mean.
Their voices mesh really well. And their dance styles while very very different is not incompatible.
Also their on screen chemistry (the reasons for that can be debated lol) is 100/100.
If they do an MV, it would break charts easily.
It doesnt even have to be romantic or queer-coded. Just them being best buds, going on a bro trip, having time of their lives singing and being silly would suffice. .
Yesssss, that would be AMAZING! I really do hope we get something like this. Maybe it was part of their NY trip, that would be so awesome. Their voices do sound beautiful together, and their energy and chemistry is electric šššššš
Iām gonna be real with yāall, most of the time these days I donāt think Jikook are dating per se But they areā¦ they areā¦ theyāreā¦ what are they? Whatās their problem? Whatās their DEAL like one min youāre just cute bros and then I remember jungkook sucked on jiminās EAR
Said a long time army-jkkr on Twitter. You may know her - Jennie, a lesbian in a long term relationship, who once was a hard-core jikooker. But for past two years, she thinks they are not dating but are two cute bros. There are only 1-2 incidents which make her rethink her 'Jikook are bros' final decision. Just like majority of jkkrs, it's either ear sucking or hickey, which one day if JK himself comes and say it didn't meant a shit or does same thing with someone else gets immediately debunked. But does 2 incidents matter when rest everything they does, if we look around us or even among bts are all common dynamics between two men who are super close ? If even long term Jikookers don't think they are dating then why would we have to believe they are a couple š¤ Because majority here are super convinced they are a couple when in reality it's 90% chance that they are not.
I think this is the anon in my previous post who was frustrated i didn't answer their question. I am not exactly sure what the question is.
Anon, if you are asking if i think they're dating, i really can't comment on that.
Relationships come in many forms. As many as there are people on earth. What you call dating, i might call hooking up, or FWB, or partnered. They may have booty calls or they may be married. Or maybe they're poly and are dating several people. Or maybe they're asexual and they really adore each other and they don't have sex at all ever because they just don't.
We don't know how they define their relationship and its pointless to speculate.
It's also not important.
It's not important at all.
The term we use doesn't matter. What matters is what they are to each other.
I think they love each other.
I think they are or have been intimate partners (I lean towards are).
I think they are very invested in one another, and they support each other emotionally and physically and professionally.
(Watch the original clip of the gif below and you'll notice Jungkook helping Jimin ease into his seat. Boy couldn't sit down without help. I'm not speculating as to why.)
If they call that dating, cool.
If they call it life partners, awesome.
If they call it BFF who regularly go to bed together, I'm happy if they're happy.
And just for the record, I watch their intractions and take my cue from them. I am not really influenced by the opinions of others. "The majority of jikookers think X" doesn't affect me. I see what I see. And what i see is deep love and attraction and mutual respect and healthy boundaries.
I dont know if they are or are not dating, but if you're looking for a guidebook on dating, you could do worse that watching these two
This is a short post, because life is a lot right now and i have very little emotional energy. But this felt important, so here I am.
Tonight I revisited an older post and realised I'd never completed the thought process i began there...
When Jimin released his solo album, FACE, I wrote this analysis post.
Part of that analysis talked about my impression of JK's backing vocals on Letter.
We had seen Jimin's Production Diary, and based on the clip of JK in the recording studio I thought he didn't know he would be asked to sing backing vocals.
Here's a screen grab of that post:
After watching the docuseries, BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star, we know that was correct...
It was a surprise to him when Jimin asked him.
In fact both aspects of that prediction were right, he didn't know about the song at all.
I have two questions:
Why would Jimin have kept the song a secret from JK?
And
Why wouldn't Jimin himself ask Jungkook to sing it? Why get PDogg to ask him? Jimin was RIGHT THERE.
Actually, make that three questions.
Why did Jimin scurry away as soon as JK asked to listen to the song?
Jimin earnestly said, "I made a fan song", while holding Jungkook's face in his hands.
That's such an intimate gesture, by the way. If my Best Friend held my face that way while they told me they'd done something, I'd take it to mean that the something was significant for/about me.
Jungkook asked to listen to the song, and Jimin... vanished. He retreated to the sofa to sit out of Jungkook's line of sight.
He's suddenly shy? Shy of Jungkook's reaction?? Wierd, but ok...
Unless the song is REALLY significant to JK....
In short, yes, it is REALLY significant. We already kinda guessed that right? But now, in light of their situation, it's more significant...
So, Jungkook recorded his part of the song.
Lets think about the lyrics...
Bear in mind this was written and recorded long before they had confirmation that their application for companion enlistment was successful...
These lyrics are even more significant in that context.
Plus
This is the part of the song that's in banmal. The switch from polite to familiar signals a change in the relationship, (I wrote about that in a previous post) and since Jimin always talks to ARMY politely, we can asume this part of the the song (at least) is directed at... someone else š
"We dont know what the future holds, don't worry I'll stay by your side."
Now consider that Jimin has written these words for not only himself to sing. He's asking Jungkook to sing them with him.
He's asking Jungkook to sing this love song with him.
With no hesitation, Jungkook says yes. He does the recording there and then.
And when JK is finished recording...
He tells Jimin that the song is really nice. Immediately, Jimin is a limpet. He's all over Junkgook like he's made of Velcro. A stark contrast to his earier behaviour when his vulnerability made him scurry away.
Jimin jokes that Junkgook should record a message for ARMY and Pdogg calls him out on that lie. Of course JK refuses. "It's your song." he tells Jimin.
Jimin is pushing his luck here, first asking JK to record a message, and then asking him to claim ownership (or share responsibility) for the song.
Jk has no trouble saying no to that.
It seems like more than a meaningless joke to me. One of those suggestions alone might be, but both? It left me wondering if Jimin suddenly felt scared that he was revealing too much with the song?
I'm kinda impressed that JK, for all his love and support, wasn't prepared to rescue Jimin from his choices. He simply, but gently, said no. It tells me a lot about their relationship.
It also tells me a lot about both JK's honestly and his belief in Jimin.
eta, I was tired and once my thought bubble popped i just hit 'post' and fell asleep. But it's exactly a year since Jimin released FACE and i think it's a pretty cool coincidence that i came back to this randomly on this day.
I wholeheartedly agree. She owned her sexuality in such a positive but unserious way and i loved every moment.
š¶ listening to seven while I do dishes and fuckin jammin š¶
Man āCome here baby let me swallow your prideā is such an underrated lineā¦Latto absolutely KILLED her part in Seven, and then we all (as a fandom) made SO much more noise about how we hated Jack Harlowās part in 3Dā¦like yeah heās a creep but why is it always the ugly that gets elevated while the beauty gets forgotten so fast?!
So. Latto appreciation post. She fucking nailed that verse š
the worst thing that could possibly happen to ao3 is it being put on the app store so please stop asking for it because you don't understand what would happen if that went through. ao3's whole deal is it archives EVERYTHING, while the apple app store's whole deal is keeping everything clean and safe. so if ao3 were to have an app all of the 'bad' stuff, including nsfw in general, would have to be censored at best or would be purged at worse. the google play store is more lax but who fucking knows what GOOGLE would police if they got their hands on the archive. do not ask for an app. do not use third party apps. it's on mobile browser functioning perfectly, just fucking use that before you ruin everything for everyone please.
