BPP!

I won’t even beat around the bush. This is a Jimin Fishing ask inspired by this lovely Twitter thread:

https://twitter.com/pjmngallery/status/1671537322075082753?s=46&t=0p2xrEO4ePcaUttUPmcMmA

So BPP, please do us the honour and drop your Jimin is so sexy pictures 😋

***

Hi Anon,

Your link.

I appreciate you being upfront about this being a fishing ask. But rather than post pictures as I usually do, I'd rather fill you all in on what I've been doing recently.

I've been watching fancams...

Jikook and rapline member fancams, specifically. Because, before anything else, I'm a fan (ARMY), and I need my fix of their god-tier performances on a regular basis. Coincidentally, I was going through my playlist of Jimin fancams before deciding to open up my Tumblr on a whim to answer a random ask, and yours seems most appropriate for what I was just doing.

So without further ado,

Jimin:

ON era Jimin is so fucking underrated. Timestamps of note: 1:10 - 1:38 (for peak Jimin energy), 2:43 (for Namjoon's walk), 2:43 - 4:02 (for jikook and Jimtonin concentrate).

youtube

I'm still gagged. The passion? The abs? The fact this man was singing live while maintaining that energy? The immaculate synchronization with the background dancers? The masterclass in charm and fan engagement he showed? The fanchants???? First of Park Jimin then BTS? Y'all, I'm gagged still, months later. Park Jimin did that shit with Set Me Free Pt 2. I'm looking forward to the rest of his music this year and next.

youtube

Also, streaming his MVs are good and all, but his music show live performances shouldn't be neglected either. First of all, they're very good performances. It's clear Jimin put a lot of work into them and the quality shows. Second of all, the streaming filters on music show channels are less than on HYBE channels on youtube, for whatever reason. Just FYI.

youtube

One of the first times I saw him perform live. And no offense to everyone else, but the difference in skill he showed here, in a song that wasn't even his, compared to everybody on that stage.... I had to pay attention.

youtube

Pardon my language but he's a beast, a serpent, if Lucifer had a love affair with blonde hair dye and tight skinny jeans, he'd be Jimin in this Gayo performance. Wholly demonic and entirely cherubic at the same time. There isn't a single idol in existence who has his energy.

youtube

Nobody is immune from Kitty Gang Jimin and I'm no different.

youtube

(In 2026 I want him in blood red dreads beaded in cowries, his back tats fully on display, and a military scar running up his left arm.... but I'd be alright with his angelic visuals and persona kept intact and that highlighted instead :))

Anybody who says they don't know why BTS is on top is lying. BTS has Jimin. Enough said.

youtube

In this one performance, you see at least 8 sides of his personality. He's incredibly aware, expressive, and empathetic.

youtube

Endeared.

youtube

Endeared Pt 2.

youtube

Anyway, I miss them. Jungkook will be dropping new music soon, but I also really want something new from Jimin and Namjoon, so I hope we get that too before the end of the year.. maybe just before Tae's release or right after. I need it.

If you've read and watched the fancams to get to this point, here's a few random Jimin pics from my gallery just because...

#I hope you're doing well anon #jimin #park jimin #bts #bangtan #kpop

Hey Star, I wanna ask you some silly question lol hopefully this is fun to answer!!

What’s your favorite hair color/style Jisung has had?

What’s your favorite Jisung solo song?

Favorite Jisung fancam?

Do you like it better when Jisung sings or raps?

Favorite Jisung era?

Do you think you and Jisung would make a good couple? (lol this one is for our delulu sides 🩷)

I have a conversation like this with my friend today where we asked each other silly shit about our biases and we legit talked for hours about it. I wanted to share some questions with you 💗

~🌷~

OH LOVE THISSSSS 😭🫶 my sister and I always talk about our biases for literal HOURS and it’s actually insane how long we can talk about the simplest little things pertaining to them. Thank you for asking these ahhh these were so fun to answer!! Here are the most condensed answers I came up with (bc let’s be real I could write paragraphs about this man😮‍💨☝️)

1. I love love LOOOVE Jisung’s natural hair, either black or a lighter brown. I always tell my sister his natural hair reminds me of a Korean Flynn Rider (the smolder and everything😭) and I think it suits his prominent eyebrows so beautifully and he just looks so boyfriend!! Second fav is the silver/blonde hair… he literally looks like AI with silver hair like he does NOT look real 😧🫶 Jisung definitely sits on my personal list of top 10 best looking idols and he also looks UNBELIEVABLE in person. Pics for reference but there were so many to pick from omg I had a field day on Pinterest fr

2. I’m obsessed with Run!!!! I think it’s such a fun song to listen to while I work or run errands or something. It has such a unique beat and it just feels very Jisung to me. Also I know it’s not technically a solo song but huge Muddy Water enthusiast too specifically for Jisung’s part 😵‍💫🤌 I died hearing it live at the Maniac tour he is SO talented

3. THIS WAS HARD…. I’m gonna go with the Maniac fancam for Show Champion OR the S-Class fancam for Mcountdown. I love when Jisung knows he looks good and just exudes confidence and talent like the Maniac one, he’s so sexy fr ☹️ the S-Class fancam is one of my fav outfits he’s ever worn I just think it’s so unique and the whole vibe of it feels so space-like 🪐☄️ fun fact I actually tried to buy his exact vest SO many times but they were always out of my size so I ended up getting Felix’s Psychonaut vest instead (by the same brand) their stylists should’ve gotten a raise for those outfits fr

4. I love both so so much but I’m very partial to his rap! I think he has one of the most unique voices amongst 4th gen in terms of rap and he just has such an effortless and smooth flow. Such an ace in so many ways and his rap really solidifies that for me every time I hear it. He also sounds exactly the same live and it’s so clear he’s just naturally gifted when it comes to his rap !!

5. Honestly it sounds like a copout but I have to go with Rock Star era only because he seems so HAPPY??? I know 5-star was a pretty rough era for him and we barely heard from him + it was clear he was maybe going through something (Jisung my beloved ☹️) but it was so good to see him smiling so much this comeback and just joking around with the members again and enjoying his stages. Happy Jisung is the best Jisung 🥹 also his stylists did NOT hold back with the fashion like we got slutty little Jaist™️ for so many stages and his outfits were all so god-tier

6. Ahhh my favorite question 🫶👼 and I have to go with a resounding no unfortunately 😭 I would LOVE to say we’d make a great couple but honestly I think Jisung and I are too similar in so many ways and we would get sick of each other pretty fast. Or at least he would get sick of me ☹️ we’re both often the entertainers among our friends/family or always the ones making others laugh and just being silly, and I think together it would hinder one of us to only let the other be the entertainer. We also both tend to get a little moody (not that it’s a bad thing!) but I feel like our communication skills wouldn’t be great when we need to be left alone or we’re just experiencing a low before we feel high again. I think we’d also spend most our our relationship asleep (I’m like 24/7 tired I think I have hypersomnia or something lol) and we probably wouldn’t make a great effort to spend quality time together or plan cute dates. People always say you’re very similar to your bias and compatible to your bias wrecker (in my case Felix) and I think that’s so true! That would never stop me from trying with Jisung though we can just take naps and be goofy together for however long we can stand each other 🤭

TYSM FOR ASKING BESTIE I LOVED THIS SMMMM I LOVE YOU 🫶😭🩷

I wasn’t going to blab my soccer nonsense but I can’t HELP IT.

We won, we scored, it’s World Cup season and I’m living for it.

Soph is inevitable and how fucking exciting is it that she got TWO goals and an assist in her World Cup debut. So good. So deserving. Miss ma’am put in the WORK today. She also needs to make quicker decisions on her passing, she waits and loses the open opportunities forcing her to go back or try to take on 4 players on the dribble.

Trin, also a DEBUT. It’s really really fun to see these players on this giant stage. And tbh, I think Trin would have done better if she hadn’t been trucked in the first 30 seconds. I think she’ll likely build in this tournament. I’m waiting for a worldie.

Alex - needed exactly what Tobin said in the first re inc recap episode. She needs good service. Soph and Trin like to dribble. There’s a conflicting front line game plan. That being said, she worked her ass off. Had really good opportunities and read situations really well. And my GOD, that flick assist to Soph is what dreams are made of. Should we ignore the penalty? Ummm. I kind of already blocked it from my brain. Soph should have taken it.

Pinoe, I love her. We all love her. Not her game. We know this. She obviously knows it. But the promising thing she does is that she’s this linking spark. Lindsey must have been pumped to have her in because all of a sudden, there were passing triangles pinging all over that side.

Alyssa (baby) - another youngin! I can’t find it in me to be anything but so freaking happy seeing the youth get this experience. No curmudgeon here for now. She had one great run and cross that was promising. Had a hard time staying on her feet, but can ya blame her?

Andi, sweet Andi. This was a great game for her to get minutes and side bar; she’s not a baby youth but it’s her first World Cup too and I’m PROUD. Idk if she’s always gonna cut it against top opponents but I appreciate her vision and her physicality. She’s a brick wall and really and truly, in a 50/50 sitch, my money is on Andi staying tall and the opposing player eating grass.

Savannah. How’s she doing? Can she believe it? How NUTS to have your literal second cap be starting the first game of the World Cup. She was getting shoved and getting really familiar with the grass for a bit, but she settled and actually looked extremely comfortable, stood out positively, and had some really good goal opportunities. She’s very cool, I wanna see a banger one of these games.

Lindsey has a pretty good game! She is a brilliant player and there were such good moments showing just that. Her pass to Alex’s flick to the first goal. Beautiful. And she had a few more that were so so nice. Went down easy a few times per usual but I do think she adjusted to the game and the lack of calls and she was working to stay up, putting that damn muscle to good use. She does have a tendency to overthink the strike when the ball takes a hot second to get to her. But, that third goal. A solid freaking rip.

Miss Rose. I missed that pale bitch so much. She makes the midfield. She makes those around her better. She allows a different attack because she carries the ball so well and folks are confident in her foot skills to allow her to work. She wasn’t perfect - her headers will forever crack me up. But we are at our best with Rose on the field.

Naomi. First World Cup whom? She is smooth, she is calm, she is consistent. Idk how she’s so young. She’s got amazing energy, big fan.

Center back Julie. She did what we needed back there. I’m curious if she was utilized as center back for the veteran experience or if she was put there instead of in the 6 because her fitness level isn’t midfield tier yet. Either way, blue headband blonde hair target on set pieces is something I’ve been missing in my life. She’s crazy. And we need it. Idk whom else is working as hard as her to get a body part on the ball for set pieces. (Can I say it? Can I say I miss Jill Ellis era set pieces?)

Crystal was doing lovely Crystal things. She works super well with Soph and if Soph could have weighted those passes better on the overlaps, oooohhhhhh!! Could’ve been SO good.

Foxy, a commanding debut. She looked v good. Maybe a touch better on crossing but she really just killed it. No other notes needed.

Kelley. Miss Bitch. Miss ‘I Know Exactly the energy you gotta bring to a big tournament’. No joke. Kelley brought tournament vibes onto the field. Her experience is unparalleled and I thought she made good use of her minutes. Her overlaps were good. Her connection with Lindsey and Pinoe was very good. And her crossing was spot on.

Sofia. Not the debut I’m sure she wanted. Usually a great crosser, not great today. Got smoked on the one defensive run needed. It’s a bummer.

Alyssa (uncle). I love her. I trust her. She didn’t have to do much. But I still love her.

And Vlatko gets a section because he confuses me. His game plan always seems so sleepy. The thing about the USWNT is that they used to put on a show. Loud sparkly ruthless bad bitches. And the personnel still has that in them, I KNOW THAT. I just don’t know why that’s not being accessed and unleashed. Which makes me blame coaching. Idk if he’s too nice, too careful, too unwilling to change the expected game plan when the actual game requires something different.

I am just a dumb bitch on the internet, however, if my players are getting pushed and shoved left and right and the ref isn’t calling shit…. I may rethink my idea of putting in my two most fragile (and arguably some of the most important) players in. I am so aware that Rose and Pinoe needed game minutes. Especially before the Netherlands. So I’ll let it slide this time lol. But the energy of that game - the ref letting all the physicality, pushing and tackling slide? That’s a… oh, maybe I put a Kristie and a Sonnett in and get them to put on their enforcer pants and change the flow of this game.

calle, mikko and eichel for the send me a character ask thing >:)

hehehe taylorrrr <33

i confess im terrible at remembering my first impressions so thats gonna be the least filled out part but lets get INTO it

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Cale: “Everyone has been talking about this man’s rosy cheeks and -- wow, he really does have rosy cheeks”

Mikko: [vague absorption of names you hear when you’re watching a game but you don’t know what’s going on][oh yeah that mikko rantanen guy is an av]

Eichel: “The guy who’s kind of bitchy”/ lbr it was mceichel slashfic

IMPRESSION NOW

Cale: Sweet little rosy-cheeked milkmaid of a babygirl. That hair looks like a baby bird. Dude is a nerd, and probably going to be the Avs’ next captain. That Conn Smythe run was memorable as hell, and I’ll always remember him as a playoff performer, even though the Avs are literally all hurt. Except Mikko.

Mikko: HART 2023 WINNER IN MY MIND. For some reason to me (ngl, my opinion on the Avs is “favourable but I don’t think about them”) he is the only Av who played the whole season -- he carried the entire fucking team through that early-season hell where everyone was really really hurt, as opposed to only mostly hurt like they were in the back half (plus Natemac was back). All this has cemented to me that he is an underappreciated big beautiful blonde moose of a man. Great tits as well if i have to be honest.

Eichel: My bitch wife. Mad respect for being apparently the only hockey out there who knows how to take care of his body (i see u going right down the tunnel when somethings wrong instead of trying to tough it out on the bench. Yesssssss). Robbed of the Smythe. People keep trying to say that he’s not better than McDavid -- this is obvious, but that’s not the point! Also I think it’s funny that that attitude (read: self-respect) has caused people (sabres fans) to note him as a locker-room cancer. It turned out that it made him a playoff performer instead. Not that I want VGK to win more Cups (for purely petty reasons, namely that my leafies should win out), but I do look forward to seeing him tear up the playoffs from here to kingdom come. Also, he’s not objectively handsome but i want him carnally.

FAVOURITE MOMENT

Cale: Just watching him skate/man the power-play. His edges are gorgeous, he’s really in the top tier of pure skaters out there. Also the Stroopwaffel Incident

Mikko: Hm. Probably that one media where they had Avs do the heart hand thing and he didn’t understand it? Himbo supreme. Just so large, and so beefy, and so stupid

Eichel: Do I really have to say it?

IDEA FOR STORY

Cale: He is the barmaid that the cowboy (natemac?) sees when he enters the mysterious Old West town’s saloon for the first time. He’s got this sort of quiet demeanour that everyone knows not to mess with, because he’s smart as a whip and he’ll get you if you don’t know what’s good for you. Maybe it turns out he’s also the rival gunslinger and we can have this Dark Cale against nate. (and then they kiss)

Mikko: Equal parts romcom boyfriend and werewolfcore. Werewolf boyfriend. I’m sure there are no paranormal romances with a plot that can be established in this manner

Eichel: I’m still on the mceichel train I prommy but I admit the eichel section in scheherazade was really quite fun… I’d like to stay a little bit in that universe, only not plunking auston in just having him already be there. The eichelston teammates to ex-teammates to teammates again to lovers. They could be gossipy haters together. They could kiss under the moonlight.

UNPOPULAR OPINION

Cale: I think this new failgirl era (questionable concussion treatment) is a dangerous trajectory for him. We’ve already seen many, many NHLers with promising careers interrupted or cut short by concussion mismanagement, and Cale is one of the best and brightest of the younger generation. I’d hate to see him go down the path of someone like Kariya.

Mikko: HART 2023 WINNER IN MY MIND!!!

Eichel: I’m not sure if eichelthirsting is unpopular or not (or if any of my opinions are unpopular really), but that is what i’m going to say. I saw pictures of him post-Cup with his shorts rolled up all the way and that leg exposed to get the Cup tattoo, and. Awooga.

FAV RELATIONSHIP

Cale: Cale x a good nights sleep, cale x stroopwaffel. I think natecale is probably a pleasing one, just because they’re both Canadian Weirdguys, but i’m going to be honest I haven’t read many Cale fics. (Yes, to anyone who might b reading, this IS an opportunity to drop your fic recs in here. Id love em)

Mikko: Arsirane, I don’t have time for messing around

Eichel: McEichel, just because of that juicy juicy Narrative. They don’t have any personal beef with each other, but if you lock them in a room I bet they’d complain to one another so much about the media that they’d start spontaneously kissing.

FAV HEADCANON

Cale: ex-emo kid. We’ve all seen that one photo of him with the bad black hair dye job, whether it’s real or not. I would just like to state that I also believe he can bust out I Write Sins Not Tragedies on the karaoke machine if he is JUST this side of drunk and horny enough.

Mikko: Reportedly funny, but probably the kind of funny where about half the time he doesn’t realize that what he’s said is hilarious, but everyone else laughs at it anyway (he doesn’t mind this. It’s a point of pride)

Eichel: im gonna vote him Most Likely To Kiss His Teammates Platonically On The Mouth 2k23

#asks #cale makar #mikko rantanen #jack eichel #taylor <3

blue! jaemin is very handsome and attractive it definitely suits him.... but white! jaemin is and always will be iconic, his attractive meter just goes through the roof, every little thing he does just becomes saurrr like... i am always speechless. my top 3 hair colors for him is pink, white, and black (special mention the one during boom (?) era where he was blonde and he had that streak of blue in the front) (ESPECIALLY WHEN HE'S HAIR IS LIKE PERMED (?) AURRR)

his white hair actually ruined my bias list and omg your list is top tier but also u can’t really go wrong bc he rocks every hair color *dreamy sigh*

Stuck is one my favorites for the music but also, they just look so good- I don't know I could have possibly forgotten about prince Hyungwon- he looked heavenly~ I love him blond- But I think this is where I have to mention pink Minnie- he also devasts me- shoot out was sooo good~ (and so was mx agent~)...

That's so reasonable! He does every era his own way and it's just so good~ And I do too hehe-

The current Shownu era is insane- I am simply devasted- Gambler was soooo good on Shownu- I know why we didn't get any promos with him- but seriously it would have been insane- (also here is where I realize I didn't mention Gambler era for Minnie as I type this up and I- I have to take this second to appreciate him in a suit & undone bowtie) I love All In era for him sm- but Shoot Out is top tier (in general for all of them too) . You're so right- their stylists know exactly what they're doing and always make MX look amazing~ I am vv thankful for them! They always slay- I absolutely agree- The closest we got was that reddish brown dye for Alligator- the way I wish he'd go blond cause of edits... But you're right he's prolly just like Jinyoung and goes 'no' haha!

Ohhh that's a rabbit hole and a half with Jooheon- I have too many- We'll start of strong with Follow that blue hair- it was everything I ever wanted- He always provides- (idk if you watch monmukgo but I saw a clip where it said he doesn't look good in black hair- and I absolutely will disagree for the rest of my life- he looks so soft and perfect in it- I just- don't agree with the color match person there). Beautiful Liar was amazing- I don't think there is a color that I don't love on him~ But the red? Love Killa, Rush Hour, Hero, Rush- yowch~

Wonho is also a rabbit hole for me- Rush and Hero- medium brown hair omg- I- woah- I love him blond- but I love him most with his blond and blue tips- it's just so perfect on him- Alligator was so good and I was so happy to see him kind of bring it back in Blue it was so cute- But him pink? I think the 93s just do pink hair so well- I- Yeah- insane- Shoot out again on him was just~ But I did love All In a lot too~

I'm a big ot7 stan~ I watch edits of him in the eras- I went thru the 7 stages of grief for a long time and went back to denial ebhhba- Like he would have been insane in Love Killa- You're an ot7 as well, right? Do you think there is an era he would have slayed if he was able?

And what about Jooheon and Wonho for you?

Oh, I completely forgot about their jpn cbs- so um- this is where I say X-phenomenon is one of my favorites on them it's just so insane- I am absolutely wrapped around their fingers every time I watch that video- Do you have a favorite era for their jpn cbs?

Shownu is like Jinyoung! Mans will never dye his hair lighter than brown! I agree that Wonho would EAT UP the Love Killa concept! Also Gambler seems right up his aesthetic alley and also Fantasia...Rush Hour too...I imagine Wonho in all their eras tbh lol.

My fave Jooheon era would def have to be Shoot Out and Alligator! He also looked really amazing during Dramarama era.

Wonho? Fave MX era would def have to be Beautiful Era and also Fighter because I agree that Blonde hair with the blue tips was FIRE! Solo Wonho? I think I'd have to choose, Open Mind. His solo debut era was so fucking spectacular! Like he really ate!

I think the only Japanese era I really was present for was Spotlight. I don't usually follow Japanese comebacks from any of my faves, mostly because I have a hard time accessing them so I just avoid them. I think the only group I was sort of following Japanese comebacks for was GOT7.

what’s your fav era of each member? (i’ve been loving nsn btw 🫶)

🐙 anon

thanks for this ask!! the members all have so many top tier eras so it was so hard narrowing it down but i think i’m happy with my answers (also i’m gonna assume you meant ateez) 😭

[ hongjoong … ] it’s honestly bouncy or inception, i will never get over either of these but i think i’ll say bouncy joong for now. and i’m obsessed with his new hair too……. but in general, blue hongjoong has my heart. honourable mention: cruella joong and kq fellaz joong

[ seonghwa … ] oh god… how could i ever choose. answer era might be my fav, closely followed by inception era. honourable mention: halazia hwa with that white hair and predebut hwa🙏

[ yunho … ] deja vu yunho oh my god- i don’t think i need to explain this, but everything about this era was immaculate and i will fight anyone that disagrees. i miss his red hair :< honourable mention: thanxx era yunho (his peach hair omg) and kq fellaz yunho

[ yeosang … ] lately i’ve been in love with bouncy yeosang, so much so that i’m thinking about changing his hair in nsn to match his hair now (my obsession is real and very concerning). but since i already have bouncy joong, blond inception yeosang is the reason i live and i will never shut up about him. honourable mention: everything

[ san … ] i kinda really love piechart san but also guerilla san awakened something in me… so it’s gonna have to be guerilla san, i will NEVER get over that blond mullet (i’m not even a fan of blondes but him and yeo have me on my knees). honourable mention: wonderland era

[ mingi … ] halazia mingi, next question.

[ wooyoung … ] eyeliner wooyoung does things to me so it’s gonna have to be say my name era. honourable mention: oreo woo and halazia woo

[ jongho … ] oh lawd… i think utopia era or bouncy. i’m so fucking obsessed with his purple hair, i nearly cried when i saw it. but anyways, it’s gonna have to be kq fellaz jongho. (can y’all tell i’m head over heels for predebut ateez?)

#i would risk it all for any of their eras tho #i’m the biggest blond yeosang enthusiast you’ll ever meet #ateez #seonghwaddict —asks #seonghwaddict — games #: 🐙 anon <3

Hello!

Been thinking what fun questions to ask you but nothing really comes to mind still really wanted to interact with you so here is watered down fun question? Might have more of these sorry 😅

Anyway, what are your fave bts hair styles and/or outfits ?

Hello anon! It's taken me 3 days to rewatch ALL the M/Vs since debut but now I feel like I have a solid handle on these choices. I went with favorite overall style for the official M/Vs and disqualified all videos/stages where one member had a clear style advantage (such as solos). I also gave myself a limit where no M/V could be "the best" for more than one member.

Here's what I have:

Best Style for Each Member:

Seokjin - Fire, which gave him platinum blonde hair with the pink button-up blouse and black jeans he poured himself into. He spent half the M/V standing in front of open flames rubbing his lips and no one shut up about that look for weeks. Honorable mention to Butter for styling him like an 80's villain because he sold that with pure charisma and top-tier shoulders.

RM - Black Swan, which gave him a black suit with his hair pushed back and so many fucking ACCESSORIES I almost passed out thinking about his fingers. I've been nursing a fresh crush on him ever since that damn video. He looked angry and expensive and if he keeps that look for a decade, I'll support it. I want villain Namjoon.

Yoongi - He's had so many good eras in terms of style, but my favorite M/V look is Not Today where he had natural hair with black and red leather pants and a gray hoodie with a red jacket. It looked like clothes he'd actually pick for himself and while I know at least 30% of the fandom swears by Mint Yoongi from HYYH, Yoongi's runner up has to be Fire when he was a silver-haired fox and had us all replaying that "bultaoreune" scene over and over and over.

Hoseok - Truly, I haven't cared for a lot of Hoseok's M/V outfits through the eras and feel they don't put him in the best stuff compared to other members. I ended up with a tie between Save Me (layered shirts, ripped black jeans, peak boyfriend who unconditionally loves you) and Airplane pt. 2 (Japanese version, with the silk rope and layered necklaces where he could be both comfortable and lethal like he bought the place). Hoseok makes up for BigHit's lame choices with raw power, magnetism, and getting to have some of the best concert outfits. His runner-up is definitely Blood, Sweat, and Tears because he made panties melt while wearing *checks notes* fucking animal print and metallic dress shoes, a combination that shouldn't work for anyone.

Jimin - Run era. He's not going to top that with the tousled orange hair soft boyfriend looks like a white tee with dark jeans and suspenders. With that incredible teal jacket? Never. It will never happen like that again because HYBE's been over-polishing him like a new penny when they need to forget about the visuals and shift focus to his incredible dancing like they did with Black Swan. Anyways, I gave Permission to Dance an honorable mention because it's so hard to pull off cowboy fringe when you're not from Texas but he made it look natural. I hate cowboy fringe but he looked good.

Taehyung - He's had an unfair advantage in recent years of looking more and more incredible the older he gets. When he's 35 and putting out pantydroppers like I want, he'll morph into his final form and then anyone who isn't up his ass now will be then or else they're lying about their lockscreens. His best era was Boy With Luv, the era I pretty much hated everything in terms of styling except Tae who I stared at, fully entranced by every outfit, for the entire song. Honorable mention to that teal vest and bellbottoms number he wore in Dynamite that made him look like an early 80's stockbroker or a used car salesman. He looked incredible and I hate they wasted that look on an earwormy-type jingle.

Jungkook - Blood, Sweat, and Tears. If you were following me wayyyyyy back then, you may remember I spent weeks telling people "I TOLD YOU SO" about Jungkook morphing into lethal fancam eye candy. The dark plum button-up with the black suit--hell, any of the suits from those stages--were a solid 10/10 and everyone who had LIED to themselves about how insanely hot Jungkook was absolutely cracked with the body roll in the BST choreo. I would like to give honorable mentions to Butter for styling him with long hair, but I was so pissed when they cut it off, y'all. We had a ponytail on a tattooed Jungkook and pissed it all away FOR WHAT?!?!

Other style considerations:

Best overall style for the entire group - Blood, Sweat, and Tears. That was a very generous era in terms of visuals and those looks launched a thousand vampire fanfics and it was one of the most fun eras I had as a fan. I talked about looks like Jimin's smoky eye and my near death experiences at their hands every week when a new stage came out (back when they promoted in SK often). Runner up for overall style is definitely Black Swan. That has been their most ambitious pursuit of visual art to date (in my opinion) and that song deserved more accolades than it got. The M/V remains a lighthouse shining in a sea of pop releases I didn't care for.

My personal aesthetic found in M/Vs - Jungkook's Danger look with the ripped leather pants, sneakers, long sleeve flannel with black eyeliner. Emo Kook borrowed from my closet during that era and during Just One Day when he had the shirt tied around his waist with the leather pants. I've been creating goth looks with long tails around the waist for the last 20 years and believe the color black is timeless.

Marvel Thor Phase 1 Pros and Cons

Pros

1. I’m big fan of Mythology so I was interested to see how the MCU will handled Thor trilogy that the character is based in real life Norse Legends, I have to say that my opinion is mixed because MCU universe takes place on Earth-19999 so Thor and rest Asgardians race are vastly different from their Earth-616 counterpart, don’t get me wrong i still like the MCU version of the Thor Trilogy and we got from it in terms character development and story arc.

2. Chris Hemsworth as Thor Odinson The God of Thunder, Chris is truly perfect casting as Thor he really embodies the character in terms of he’s acting abilities and physical appearance, now MCU Thor is mostly the same as comic book counterpart still different, but what I mostly like about MCU Thor is the incredible character arc that Thor goes through from his own trilogy to the Avengers saga, going from a hot headed tempered god to a more humble, wiser and compassionate individual who has suffered and Learn so much about himself and the path moving forward.

3. Tom Hiddleston as Loki Laufeyson also known as Loki Odinson The God of Lies and Mischief, what can i say about Loki only that he is the MCU top tier villain only behind Thanos and Erik Kill-monger. I know originally Tom audition for the role of Thor even going as for as wearing blonde hair and wielding a toy hammer, I’m so glad that he didn’t get the role because he’s perfect casting as Loki i can’t see anybody else play him not in the way as Tom does. Loki is more of a misunderstood character who’s just wanted to be accepted and loved by his father because in his mind he thinks Odin loves Thor more than him. I mean Loki was orchestrated a whole plot to banished Thor from Asgard and using the Bifrost Bridge to destroy the realm of the frost giants, all of this was only get his approval as a worthy son.

4. Anthony Hopkins as Odin Borson The AllFather and King of Asgard, Odin the AllFather was truly the most powerful being in the MCU and one of the few Individuals that Thanos waited to die, Odin dedicated his reign on protecting his people and maintaining peace throughout the nine realms by any means necessary by accomplishing so many extraordinary feats such as defeating the fire demon Surtur and stealing his power, stopping his firstborn daughter Hela and sealing her away in Hel and using his own life force as a barrier, defeating King Laufey and his Frost Giants army from conquering earth, even taking a power away from a another God like his own son Thor.

5. Overall the most positive thing about the MCU universe version of the Thor trilogy is the story arc and the character journey that Thor and Loki goes through while moving forward as character as the MCU going to a new era.

Cons

1. Now their are some positive creative choices with the Thor trilogy but theirs also the negative choices that they did with the Thor Films, the first being I don’t like that they made the Asgardians Extraterrestrials aliens in the Earth-616 the main Marvel Universe the Asgardians are a group of Extra-dimensional beings. In the comics their was always a balance between Extra-dimensional beings and Extraterrestrial beings, in the MCU their seems to be more aliens and less beings from a another dimension.

2. Also I don’t like how the Asgardians being technologically advanced because in the original comics the Asgardians relied more on Magic then Technology, we rally see any Asgardians using magic i mean we have Loki but to be far we only seen Loki used illusions casting, Duplication casting, conjuring that’s basically it but all that’s fine but its nothing compared to the original comic book.

3. Lady Sif in my opinion is the weakest Asgardians in the movie, Sif is nothing like her ComicBook counterpart I mean the MCU have the audacity to call Sif the Norse Goddess of War really she barely had any fight scene to show us why she holds this title, The Eternals Thena holds the title Goddess of War better then lady Sif.

4. Plus MCU is missing other Asgardians character from the comics like Tyr the real Norse God of War, Balder also son of Odin and Frigg, Honir Norse of The Hunt and Hermod the Norse God of Speed miss opportunity that the MCU missed out on.

5. Also why was Jane Foster in this movie, i know that Jane is the main love interests for Thor in the original comics but she and her team really serve no purpose in this movie and it’s really disrespectful to the Incredible Natalie Portman.

#marvel #asgardians of the galaxy #god of thunder #thor #loki (marvel)#king of asgard #phase 1 #lady sif #goddess of war #odin #norse deities #gods of asgard

Seventeen 9th Mini Album "Attacca" Carat version (Part 4)

Finally it's last part yuhuu~

It took really long time to write this version

And finally it's maknae line

If you want to see my other post about this version you can find it here for 95l, 96l and 97l

Okay let's start

Seungkwan

It's Seungkwan set

Seungkwan looks really good with blue hair

He looks good with lighter hair color like ash blue, blonde. Well, he looks good with black or dark brown too

But, I don't really like Seungkwan with pinkish hair color. It's my preference lol

Vocal team with mermaid concept is really top tier

Although op1 concept is good that mermaid concept really really really good

Vernon

It's Vernon set

Vernon photocard always makes me amazed

Like if you want to trade it you have to look at it closely if not you'll ended with different photocard

Because Vernon usually have same pose with different backgrounds. But that background actually just slightly different lol

Vernon really looks good in op1 photoshoot

Well, he usually looks good but that op1 just amazing

Dino

It's Dino set

Our baby Dino

He looks more mature now

I don't know I think he looks more mature in this era

I've been following them since predebut and now he looks mature

This Dino op1 photo looks like photos from 80's

Actually I still hope that they have different concepts like hip hop team or vocal team because their op2 and op3 also this carat version photoshoot looks like same vibe

We'll get The Thirteen Tape vol 2 for Woozi mixtape

So, it's like Hoshi one...

I thought they already forgot about that project

I hope next member also coming really soon

Maybe next one is S.Coups because he said he prepare for his mixtape

Thay already announced it. But they haven't open pre order yet. Maybe I'll buy 2 again like Spider

I also already pre ordered Woozi Ruby trading card but I won't post it here. Like I said before in other post I'm to lazy to post about trading card because I'm not collecting all of it. I just buy it if I want it

Next I'll post about Seventeen Social Club Photobook after that maybe Attacca op1, op2 and op3 but I'll divide it into 3 different post or more lol (I have total 21 or 23 albums for attacca). And I haven't take picture of it.

I feel like my notes longer than the actual post hahahaa

Okay, See you in next post

#seventeen #세븐틴 #attacca carat ver #attacca #album #seungkwan #vernon #dino #승관 #버논 #디노

Hi hello I’m here with (half of) another ridiculously complex crossover AU here we go

Legally Blonde AU where Izuku is a semi-famous actor working part time in his father (Toshinori’s) studio while also going to college and majoring in Theatrical Production. His childhood friend and longtime boyfriend, Bakugou, has been dropping hints for the past few weeks about proposing to Izuku. Izuku, naturally, is absolutely thrilled, and has all the support of his friends and peers.

On the night of their big date, Bakugou breaks up with Izuku, saying that he's not "serious" enough for him, and that he only follows the path that was laid out for him and isn't ambitious enough to suit Bakugou's tastes in a lifelong partner. Bakugou tells Izuku he's going to UA, a famous law school that pumps out graduates that support professional heroes. Izuku is totally devastated, and shuts himself up in his room for weeks, becoming depressed.

After a pep talk from his friends, who are part of the production crew with him (Ashido, Hagakure, and Nejire), Izuku decides that he'll chase Bakugou to UA, and with Tsuyu's help, promptly starts studying for it. After making the cut, Izuku yells at Ashido for sending in a production video of him on set as his personal essay--because that shouldn't count!! Izuku hurriedly calls the admissions office and as they prepare to reject him, he gives an honest speech about love and how important it is for a lawyer to be compassionate and hardworking. He gets accepted!

On the first day of class Izuku bumps into a couple of already accomplished law students--Shinsou, who is extremely hardworking and ambitious despite his background, and Hatsume, a girl who's won tons of awards for her groundbreaking inventions and their contributions to hero society. With them is Todoroki, a recent graduate working as a teacher aid/intern under the infamous Aizawa, one of the most legendary lawyers in their era despite his tendency to only take certain cases for underground heroes. Izuku makes a stumbling, awkward yet somewhat eccentric introduction, and Todoroki is immediately smitten despite sensing that Izuku probably isn't cut out for UA.

Izuku bumps into Bakugou before their first class, and pretends that he forgot that Bakugou also attends UA. In their first class Aizawa ruthlessly weeds out the weaker students and intimidates the hell out of them by quizzing them with difficult cases. Aizawa tells them that he has a very big internship every year that accepts four students--and they're practically guaranteed a job after graduation. Izuku is called out for not having done the reading before class, and Yaoyorozu, an upper class, somewhat prissy girl, suggests that he be kicked out of the lecture hall.

Todoroki sneaks out during the lecture and comforts Izuku, saying that he'd been kicked out of class before too, and suggesting that Izuku study properly so he can be prepared next time. Yaoyorozu comes out next and Izuku confronts her about what she'd said, and she truthfully states that he has no place at UA if he's not willing to dedicate himself to it fully--that everyone else had gotten there through hard work and WANTED to be there, seeming to know that Izuku had made it in with different intentions. She idly wonders if Izuku's even capable of studying with that fluffy head of his (it's not meant to be an overly rude comment but Izuku takes it that way). Izuku's heart shatters when he realizes that Bakugou and Yaoyorozu are dating, because apparently they’d interned together before over the summer and Bakugou had been impressed by her intelligence and ambition. Izuku is encouraged by an imaginary production crew of his friends. Izuku decides if he's going to be serious he needs to start off by shaving his head LOL because according to Yaomomo it's the scruffy hair that's one of the big obstacles of winning Bakugou back.

Izuku swings by a salon and meets Uraraka--who immediately discourages him from getting a buzzcut, saying "Those fluffy locks of yours are a godsend and you should NOT sacrifice them to look like a military trainee. Trust me." Uraraka gives him a huge pep talk while also sharing her past failed romances, wishing she can find an athletic guy to be happy with, and encourages Izuku to go after love while he still has the chance, as himself. After that, Yaomomo happens to walk in with Jirou, and the two of them discuss a party they're going to at the end of the week. Izuku shyly asks if he can come. Jirou whispers to Yaomomo to tell him it's a costume party, which she does. Uraraka excitedly says she has the perfect thing for Izuku to wear.

At the party, everyone is dressed business casual. Izuku comes in wearing a slutty bunny outfit and is immediately humiliated. (Yaomomo feels kinda bad esp since she didn't really think he'd dress up--and definitely not like THIS.) Izuku steels his nerves and flirts with Bakugou, who is like "Why the hell didn't you wear this kinda shit while we were dating" and Izuku slyly says, "Well, you never asked, did you?" Bakugou reminisces a bit on their childhood and Izuku says they can go back to the way things were. Bakugou calls him out for saying so, especially given how he looks right now, and at this rate he'll be lucky to even make it through the semester, let alone get Aizawa's internship, which Izuku apparently wants to do despite not having any real conviction. Yaomomo steps in and Izuku snaps at her for the false costume party tip. Yaomomo suggests he leaves before he embarrasses himself further and brings shame to their class. Izuku says his costume was inspired by Usagiyama, a famous hero, and asks if she's an embarrassment too? The whole party gangs up on Yaomomo as Izuku leaves in tears.

Todoroki finds him on a bench outside wearing a very suggestive costume, freezing his ass off, miserable, and crying. Todoroki asks him why he came to UA in the first place--and Izuku reveals his full story with Bakugou. Todoroki lends Izuku his sweatshirt and says he can't feel sorry for him because he'd grown up in worse circumstances--his mother left his father when he was young, leading them to a life of near poverty, and that he's been struggling to support them both. His goal is to become a successful lawyer that can support honest heroes, and buy a house that his mother can live in comfortably. And, most importantly--win a case against his father to protect the both of them for good. Izuku thinks that's very sweet--but it kind of seems like Todoroki has a chip on his shoulder...and Todoroki says he does, and that he's going to take advantage of every opportunity he's given and work as hard as hell to become successful, and not just for himself. He's had to work two jobs on top of having class just to make it this far. Izuku asks how he does it--Todoroki tells him that he works nonstop and doesn't take the time to break, have parties, or spend hours distracting himself with films or theatrical productions. (Izuku feels a bit guilty at this LMAO) Izuku asks if Todoroki's willing to help him out--and Todoroki, strangely enough, agrees to do so.

Todoroki escorts Izuku back to his dorm, and notices that Izuku has barely touched his law books. Izuku admits it's been hard for him to really get into it, because coming from a theater/film background means that all of his studies are practical and on hand, and not from a book. Todoroki says he needs to get over that--and starts throwing out all of Izuku's posters and theater memorabilia. Izuku FREAKS LOL and Todoroki's like "You need to remove all distractions if you want to do this right".

I will write the rest tomorrow if enough of ya’ll wanna read the rest...LOL SORRY I’m so wiped out I gotta go to bed but anyway yes. Fun AU idea. I’m a slut for Tododeku crossovers apparently, ESPECIALLY this one because Elle and Emmett’s romance? Soft AND God Tier

first impressions

there are times i think about my favs and i wonder what went through my mind when i saw them the first time. so im going to write one for the boyz before i forget so here goes;

sangyeon

i got to know him from my friend. he was whipped for this sangyeon guy cause of that gen z video. i was like “yeAaa he’s hot alright,” and he also gave me the leader vibes too he looks mature and turned out he is the leader

jacob

he looks reallyyyyyy familiar to me. so i dig out more of his pics and finally it hits me; he is jung hoseok aka jhope’s doppleganger. but this is just from my point of view ofcourse i could be tripping. the way he smiles so bright on stage really reminds me of hoseok. i really love jacob’s smile and he was my potential bias

younghoon

he just screams VISUAL. i really dont like ranking people based on their looks but younghoon has to be no.1 out of all of them ((and again this is from my pov)). also i heard he was an army so yay a bonus to me!

hyunjae

this man too is sooooo good looking. i’ve noticed he was always in the center when performing and i loveeeeee his voice that i thought he was the main vocal. hes good at dancing too i guess he’s an all rounder.

juyeon

another visual with amazing dancing skills. i don’t think he gets that much line distribution but somehow my eyes are always glued to him. his stage presence is everything

kevin

i know kevin before! i’ve seen him as mc for kcon and that’s how i know he’s an english speaker in the group. also i’ve seen a bunch of memes of him LOL and people just hyping him up. saw him in gen z and people just went crazy because he wore that crop top. i saw that and was like “wow kevin is so attractive and sexy,”

new

he’s that pretty member with a mullet! i didn’t notice him that much when i was listening to reveal. i don’t think he left that much impression on me UNTIL i saw him in bloom bloom. bloom bloom was his era! he’s prettier than me and i noticed he has a very unique vocal.

OH. MY. GOD. STAGE PRESENCE IS TOP-TIER. in rtk he was the opening for the danger’s performance. his hair was red so it was easy to recognize him. i was really amazed by the whole performance and q was reallyyyyyyyyyy good at dancing. his cute face is a twist tho and he was my potential bias too.

haknyeon

ayyyy im a pd101 fan so ofcourse i know haknyeon and that is also how i know theboyz. mnet really did him dirty and i remember i was rooting for him. haknyeon to me was a very active and cheerful person. he is also a good performer and no air has to be his era.

sunwoo

legit thought he was in hyung line only to find out he’s the youngest along with eric. i just couldnt help but to notice him in every performance cause he was that good. he gave off a scary vibe tbh at first ((luvyusunwoo))

eric

this guy looks really familiar to me too. and i found people pointing out that he looks like jeno and YES HE DOES. eric was easy to notice too because of his blonde and blue highlight hair.

the boyz (overall)

i’ve heard about them when they debuted but i only knew haknyeon and i recalled myself being amazed by their visuals. literally every member was so good looking but i didn’t get to explore more ((i should’ve tbh what were u doing gorl)). so i decided to get to know them more when i saw their generation z video and road to kingdom. supported them since then and now i can call myself a deobi too hehe

that is all, your honor.

btw can you guess who’s my bias? /cackles/

#theboyz #sangyeon #jacob #younghoon #hyunjae #juyeon #kevin #new #q #haknyeon #sunwoo #eric #kpop #firstimpression #how do tags work #the boyz

Cranberry

The ideal Holmes is tall and dark with sharp edges and an intelligent look to him, but also posh and with a sense that you could fold him into origami if you really tried. Dresses well, but wouldn’t look out of place sprawled dramatically over a couch in a dressing gown with a pipe and surrounded by drug paraphernalia. Once made a pillow fort and sat in it to think. Caught somewhere between handsome, pretty, and weird looking. Emphasis can be on any of the three. CANNOT have facial hair.

Holmes Adaptations

S-Tier

Miss Sherlock (Yuko Takeuchi) - 95%

You’ll notice, of course, that nowhere in the earlier description did I say Holmes needed to be white, a man, or even human. None of those qualifiers or the lack-thereof prevent someone from looking the part -- it simply becomes necessary to compare them to the characters around them. And when I picture a female Sherlock Holmes, Yuko Takeuchi embodies the exact image in my mind. Her sharp edges, piercing eyes, and impeccable fashion, along with the powerful weird energy she brings to the role, fit Sherlock perfectly. She does look more than a bit like she could kick my ass, but more in the manner she dominates the room, which is perfect for the character.

Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) - 85%

I haven’t watched this adaptation, though I’ve been meaning to get around to it. So this ranking is based solely on screenshots and promotional images. And honestly, as ugly as i find this guy, he totally nails it. He even kind of looks like the illustrations in the stories. I won’t give him a perfect score because his hair could be darker and his face is a little small, and there’s just barely something missing. But as far as “canon” Holmes adaptations go, he’s the cream of the crop.

A-Tier

Sherlock: The Abominable Bride (Benedict Cumberbatch) - 80%

Definitely the more accurate of the two Cumberbatch Holmes designs, the sleek fashion and slicked back hair complement Cumberbatch’s angular build and “somewhere between pretty and just weird” face. He’s tall, dark, and posh. If there’s anything holding him back it’s simply that even dressed up properly, there’s something still a bit modern looking about him.

Fate/Grand Order - 78%

Given that his design and presentation are a direct reference to both Brett and Cumberbatch’s portrayals, it’s a given he’d place so highly. It’s really hard to nail down a 2D Holmes, especially in the anime style this game employs, since it has a tendency to prettify characters by default. True to form, FGO Holmes is far neater and more precise than I’d like. But he’s by no means a bad design, and depending on the image he can really hit the spot for me; he’s definitely a chart topper in the realm of 2D Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes: The Furtive Festivity (Gregory Johnstone) - 75%

There aren’t many Holmes that we only get to see as an old man, in no small part due to the ACD estate’s notoriously malicious copyright practices. Johnstone ranks so highly not due necessarily to the details of his look, but the overall feel he embodies. This Holmes is soft, affectionate, more than a little floppy. His hair and costume portray a man well grown into his eccentric life, and his face is sharp and mature enough to suggest the brains underneath; even if that’s more wisdom than intelligence in this particular story. This is a Holmes designed by someone who really loves Sherlock Holmes, and it definitely shows.

BBC Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) - 75%

Cumberbatch’s features still naturally suit Holmes well, and he’s tall and striking enough to cover the rest. But this isn’t a rating of his acting performance aside from the visuals it supplies; it’s hard to modernize Holmes, especially since it makes perfect sense for Holmes to gel well with the changing times; he was always a man ahead of his era. BBC Holmes’s trademark trenchcoat and curly locks aren’t traditional Holmes, but they suit him well enough.

Yuukoku no Moriarty - 73%

The long hair is an unorthodox take, but I'm certainly not complaining. YnM's Holmes definitely nails the youthful scientific exuberance of an early Holmes. It's clear they were going for a sort of BBC/ACD mix, but with their own spin. Pretty -- he is an anime boy, after all -- but all sharp edges and full of energy. Decent, way better than most anime Holmes designs manage.

B-Tier

Basil of Baker Street [The Great Mouse Detective] - 70%

Comparing the character to those around them is especially important when it comes to non-human characters, who naturally don’t have the same features. Putting Basil next to Dawson makes this abundantly clear, as they make a perfect portrait of Holmes and Watson. For a mouse, he’s thin, angular, even a little ratlike; all decisions that suit Holmes well. I have some complaints about his ensemble, though; while the dressing gown suits him well, his normal brown coat and hat don’t work so well with his fur; the monochrome look makes him come off a bit scruffy and unrefined.

A Study in Black - 68%

Rules are made to be broken, they say; here’s a Holmes with well maintained facial hair and who’s shorter than Watson, and yet I can without question say they were the right decisions. This Holmes takes a very different design approach than any other on this list, even the other modern takes, but he embodies the spirit of Holmes much more than if he’d tried to match every detail. Holmes is still gaunt and striking, eccentric and fashionable. He looks absolutely great.

The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (Robert Stephens) - 62%

Stephens in this role is, I have to say, far too soft. But he’s playing a different sort of Holmes, and I can’t resist keeping him here. There are some parts of the look he has down; he certainly looks high class, and the softer elements of Holmes’ character look good on him. Holmes’ traditional costume, the hat and coat, look out of place on him. But that suits the message of the film, and may very well have been intentional.

C-Tier

Dai Gyakuten Saiban - 58%

Not the only blond Holmes on this list, but it doesn’t suit him as poorly. From a character design standpoint, it looks very good. As a Holmes, it’s unorthodox. He’s not gonna be a chart topper with it, but I wouldn’t rule it out. This Holmes’ real problem isn’t his coloration, merely that he’s much too conventionally attractive. His jaw is a bit too wide, curls a bit too lovely, the peek of lavender under his coat a bit too rich, and I can’t look at him for too long without blushing. Do some cocaine and get back to me.

Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) - 55%

Now, this one might be controversial. I don’t think Rathbone Holmes looks very good. I can’t put my finger on why; his head is the right shape, his nose very sharp, though his face looks very smooth and he seems overall vaguely packed in. Like he was plucked out of the sky just before walking on set. The shapes are all right, it just seems off to me. I guess what I’m getting is that his look is too obviously produced. He looks too much like an actor portraying Holmes, rather than Holmes. But I know he’s gonna be the guy a lot of people swear by, so I won’t defend this placement too hard.

Sherlock Hound - 45%

Really, what is up with the monochrome design on some of these cartoons. Sherlock Hound has the darker hat to make up for it, though, so it’s a little better. Applying the same rubric as Basil to him... doesn’t get the same results. As far as I can tell, this just looks like a normal dog. And a scruffy light-furred one, at that. There’s a contrast between him and Watson, sure, but it could’ve been pushed further. At the end of the day this is an average guy dressed as Sherlock.

D-Tier

Herlock Sholmes [Code: Realize] - 40%

This is a very pretty anime boy. I’d pick him first in whatever dating sim this is. ...Wait, this is supposed to be Holmes? How can you tell? Look, I know it’s hard to make an anime boy Holmes. Holmes’ key design elements aren’t his costume or his hair, they’re the things that make him unpolished. And anime dating sim boys don’t like to be unpolished. But really, this is just a steampunk boy who likes tea. Nothing here reads as Holmes to me.

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) - 35%

Now, I love this movie. RDJ got me back into Sherlock Holmes when I was younger. And as this character, he has a very specific and well designed look. ...Does that look gel with canon Holmes? I don’t think so. He’s rough, he’s scruffy, he’s short and wide and strong-jawed, and he refuses to go for a clean shave. I like him a lot, but he’s not very Holmesian. He does, however, nail the eccentricity and his costume design works for him well. I do like a messy Holmes. So I won’t go any lower than this.

F-Tier

Basil [Blush Blush] - 28%

So, he’s got the outfit. There’s that. But otherwise... This is just some soft ugly anime boy cosplaying Sherlock Holmes. He doesn’t have a single trait that works in his favor. On top of that, he’s got the same problem the other Basil on this list had -- the all monochrome light brown just looks weird, and not Holmesian at all. And this boy doesn’t have the excuse of literally being a mouse. This is just an ugly design.

Elementary (Jonny Lee Miller) - 25%

Now, I've only watched a few scattered episodes of Elementary. Partially because I'm morally opposed to shows that only gender-flip half of the duo, partially because I’m absolutely outraged by the travesty they made Moriarty. But this isn’t a bad character, per-se.

But, like, this is just some dude. This isn't Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes [Clue] - 23%

I love Clue so much. That probably doesn’t surprise anyone. I have the season pass in this game, which automatically gives me every DLC character they add for free. So I was super excited to hear there was gonna be a Sherlock crossover. ...But this is just ugly. Another light haired square-jawed monochrome asshole pretending to be my favorite character. There’s nothing Holmes about this. (The rest of the designs in the pack are no better, but this isn’t about them.)

Skylar Holmes [Blossom Detective Holmes] - 20%

Now, Blossom Detective is a show that I famously disliked so much I immediately sat down and screenwrote my own Holmes cartoon on the spot. And Skylar certainly feels like she should be in the “part 2″ of this list, but a Holmes she is.

She's cute and she accessorizes well, but she's just not Sherlock Holmes by any stretch.

Sherlock Shellingford [Milky Holmes] - 10%

Now, look how cute she is! Sherlock Shellingford, present and accounted for. She’s got TWO Sherlock names so you know she’s the real deal. Now, this is just an objectively good design. She's exactly what she needs to be to serve the role she plays!

And that isn't Sherlock Holmes. Sorry.

Holmes & Watson (Will Ferrell) - 0%

Get out of my house.

Holmes Archetypes

Not all Holmes’ are meant to be the Canonical Sherlock Holmes, of course; some are just neat references, or characters who naturally fit into his role whether the author intended it or not. Let’s address them here, and remember that not looking the part doesn’t really reflect negatively on these ones as they’re stand-alone.

S-Tier

Dylan Reinhart [Instinct] (Alan Cumming) - 90%

Dylan is so point for point Sherlock Holmes that it’s hard to call him an archetype and not a straight adaptation, or possibly a rip-off if I’m being harsh. But I’m not supposed to be rating him by portrayal, just looks - and he’s really good. He’s the exact right blend of weird looking, though not as angular as he should be. His sharp eyebrows and nose and high hairline work fantastic, and he wears a suit very well. He’s a perfect little bundle of posh and nerves, and though he’s not perfect the fact that this isn’t actually supposed to be canon Sherlock Holmes makes this placement very unsurprising. He wouldn’t look out of place on the other list.

Hubert von Vestra [Fire Emblem: Three Houses] - 85%

Oh? What’s that? You don’t think Hubert von Vestra is a Sherlock Holmes archetype? Okay, then explain to me why he uses the word “sentiment” exactly twice in his supports. Atheists 1, Church of Seiros 0. Anyway. Let’s start with the obvious. Hubert looks like Benedict Cumberbatch. But, he looks like a vampire Benedict Cumberbatch who did a lot more cocaine. And if you don’t think Sherlock Holmes should look like a vampire, youre lying.

A-Tier

None yet. Please submit your Holmes and I will add them.

B-Tier

Heinwald [Dragalia Lost] - 67%

I would never look at this design and think "well, that's Sherlock Holmes". Heinwald looks more like a zombie or the bride of Frankenstein, very Halloween. His look being so specific does come at the expense of his Holmesness, but he's still got more than a few traits down and he’s an absolute treat.

L Lawliet [Death Note] - 65%

This is a very, very weird looking man. Key points: dark hair and eyes. gaunt, sharp, and mostly angular (though with a softer face). Extremely foldable. This man could 100% pass for Holmes, if someone else was dressing him. Put him in a suit, comb his hair? Yeah. It’d really work. But until then, he’s just most of the way there.

Kyoko Kirigiri [Danganronpa] - 63%

Kirigiri really gets jilted here, because she could be much higher. Unfortunately, she has to be part of a series that with only a few exceptions just reuses the same face and body for most of its female characters. Kirigiri definitely has the sharp and focused feel she needs to pass for Holmes, and she dresses well. The white hair is the opposite of the dark he usually touts, but it’s striking. Unfortunately, put her next to any other character in her series, and she blends back in.

Miles Edgeworth [Ace Attorney] - 60%

Feels a little weird to put Edgeworth on here when the actual Sherlock Holmes is in his game, but he fits the character much better if not the narrative role. So let’s go over the looks. His jaw is a bit wide, but he’s very pointy, and I certainly have never gotten the impression he’s a physically strong man. He’s very fashionable, and with his big cravat and sharp hair he makes a cutting silhouette. I’d say he needs a bit more to really nail the look, though.

Will Graham [Hannibal] (Hugh Dancy) - 45%

Despite being a noted Hannibal Lecter fan and possible homosexual, I still haven’t watched Hannibal. I’m taking people at their word that Will is a Sherlock; I definitely would have assumed otherwise looking at him. He reminds me deeply of BBC’s John Watson, and it’s hard to see anything else. But I don’t hate his look; he reads as clever, he looks good in darks, and I wouldn’t complain to see him cast as Holmes. He’s better than some of the lower-tiered canon Holmes actors, anyway.

Ranpo Edogawa [Bungo Stray Dogs] - 40%

This is another submission, and I don’t know who this boy is. I really doubt he’s actually a Holmes, given that he’s named after a real non-Doyle writer, but I was begged to include him. Let’s go. I really like his outfit. He’s got an aesthetic I like. Is it Holmes’? No. This kid looks like he’d fit way better as a Baker Street Irregular; maybe he should audition.

D-Tier

Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) - 35%

Take everything I said for Robert Downey Jr, and just mess up his hair a bit more. House is scruffy, poorly put together, and not wearing anything that costs over $100. As a Holmes, he’d work as one of his disguises; I wouldn’t be super surprised if this guy suddenly cleaned up and looked the part -- but it would take a lot of cleaning. I love his look, though -- again, he isn’t trying to be canon. House is an explicit Holmes parallel, but he’s still his own character.

F-Tier

Walnut Cookie [Cookie Run] - 20%

Given how much “Holmes costume” and “Detective costume” are conflated, it’s possible this gingerbread baby isn’t even supposed to be a Holmes reference, but I’ll take her. She’s an excellent design - but a standalone one. Shes too soft, warm, and curly looking to pull off canon Holmes.
