3Tangerines!Yoongi is my ideal tsundere I swear...hard shell SOFT inside LETS GET IT
He doesnāt have this needlessly gruff exterior, but he *does* seriously exude an aura/attitude that says he is downright rude or nasty with no remorse when provoked. Heās not just an asshole for no reason, this man has got a baseline vibe and anything that comes after that is a reflection of or a reaction to the surrounding energy. As a Pisces in love with tsundere I can happily claim this characterization is ON. POINT.Ā
MC thinks heāll be brutally honest because thatās just how he is, but really sheās already inside his trust to a certain degree because of 3Tan!Bro, which means sheās close enough that already his instinct is to protect by whatever means necessary. Heād planned on being *just* honest, but then she immediately moved to a whole different zone of comfort/trust when she showed him vulnerability even while being terrified. I genuinely donāt believe he would have been able to be ābrutalā with her even if he had thought she was bad in bed. Literally anyone else would get the full unfiltered rundown but even BEFORE they had sex Yoongi was ready to throw down for MC, so I donāt think she was ever at truly risk for hurt feelings.Ā
The man tried, ok? He probably tried to ignore a little crush on MC for a good while before she even showed up at his door looking like a wet dream, then after she did, if I remember correctly, they didnāt really chill for like a year! They kept the distance and did the things they were morally obligated to do after the bro-code goof of fucking your best friendās little sister. There is S.T.R.E.N.G.T.H. in that. Thereās circles within circles of feelings and trust with a character like this, and watching this little journey for both of them never once feels disingenuous or forced because they took the long way around by being as mature as they could about the situation.Ā
Praise kink boys that canāt admit it work HARD to earn their verbal rewards without having to tell on themselvesā¦I see you Yoongiā¦I see you.Ā
The PINING and how he literally fights his own thought processes in order to maintain loyalty to his friend until he canāt even lie to himself anymore?? UGH!! TOP TIER!!
I might be biased (ha.) because Iām also Pisces but this character *really* is exactly everything Iāve ever imagined or wanted from a Tsundere. Even bro doesnāt get to see the same squishy center of Yoongi the way he allows MC to, and his little hints that turn into all-out statements reminding her that sheās part of a VERY SELECT FEW who get to see him like thisāwithout being snarky or defensive about it because sheās doubting him or not reading him correctly just screams PATIENCE and FUCK if that isnāt hot as all hell.
This story is the best of *everything*. Badass Yoongi? Check. Soft for MC only? Check. SEES HER CONFIDENCE BUT ALSO WHEN SHE NEEDS GENTLE NUDGES TO ACTUALLY FEEL IT *FOR HERSELF*? Check.Ā
Basketball Yoongi. Tangerine Yoongi. Loyal as fuck even when heās being a brat Yoongi. Silent caretaker Yoongi. Vocal Caretaker Yoongi. LOW-KEY SUBBY AF FOR CONFIDENT WOMEN YOONGI.Ā
Really I want to keep going but I fell asleep writing this last night after kiddo went to sleep and need to get out into the world SO HERE WE ARE lol <3
OH MY GOD? I WANNA SCREAMā¼ļø what the heck this feedback and commentary is just.. so.. I donāt even know what to say right nowš thank you so incredibly much. I wanted to wait until I had time to respond properly so Iām so sorry this is a bit lateš„ŗš A lot to scream about below cut :D
1. I am. The most happy that you think this because youāre absolutely right. Heās chill and laid back for the most part buttttt like. House Party? When his kicks were almost scuffed? Lmfaooooo you can just tell he was ready to destroy this man if he really wanted to.
2-3. Love love love the analysis here! Itās true that their dynamic was already different from the start. Reader really wasnāt just anyone, despite her thinking sheās virtually nothing and cannot be anything to Yoongi. And we already know that Yoongi said heād be there for her regardless. So him grappling with this evolution of feelings is something elseš„ŗ Yoongi was already soft for her from the beginning despite his hard and mysterious and intimidating exterior.
4. No further comments, ur honorššš
5. GODDD THE INTERNAL CONFLICT YEAH..
6. Patience is one of the hottest traits guys can have and I will stand by that statementš§āāļø Heās unbelievably patient with reader no matter the circumstances. Like he couldāve been defensive or dismissive when they asked about the studio in Friends, but no. He let reader know what happened and said it wasnāt stupid to askš„ŗ
7. AHHHH IM GLAD IT HAS ALL OF THOSE FOR YOU!! Iām having so much fun writing this and to see yāall liking it just makes me happy to keep going.
8. NOTHING TO ADD UR HONORā¼ļøā¼ļøā¼ļø
Main point is that holy crap I absolutely loved all of this and I am wayyyy over the moonš© Made my day! Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this feedbackš„ŗš

I will never get over just how attentive 3tan Yoongi is. It really can be the subtle things sometimes that make all the difference and he just does it so well. He will be so hush about something but next thing you know he solved a hundred problems you didnāt even know you had. He pays so much attention to even the smallest details like the tiniest change in expression and immediately goes to put a smile back on your face itās just ugh *chefās kiss*
You are so fcking right like.. the subtle things speak volumesš„ŗ Heāll just take care of things and figure stuff out because thatās just what has to be done. Even if something small is all he can do in the moment, fuck it, heās gonna do it.. Aaaaand Iām in my feelings nowš

I absolutely adore the way you write 3tan Yoongi as strong but in such gentle ways, protective but not overbearing, kind and a good listener, it's really lovely to see, particularly from a guy character. I also like that he's clearly a person who's taken time to learn and grow into who he is now -š¦Ā
GAHHH thank you so much, saurusš„ŗš From the start heās been so dear to me! Yeah heās had quite the past but the Yoongi that we know now? My gosh. I love him a ridiculous amount.
The last sentiment is so trueš¤ Iāll tell you this: heās certainly learned a shit ton.

okay this is me praising 3tan yoongi and also u bc one of my favorite things about him is how he treats reader (everyone gasps, this is so surprising has never been said before) BUT WAIT there's more. it's partially how he's written bc the whole protective i wanna take care of u kinda guy can feel so. icky? but 3tan yoongi does it in such a quiet and gentle way where it's almost like he doesn't know how not to be patient with her and make sure she's okay.
like i know he must have been pissed after whatever tf went down @ basketball (side eyeing that spoiler rn) but it wasn't super obvious that she should be worried,, he just made sure to be aware of their surroundings outside and give her a key to his place and call her and visit her and the way all of it came together after anytime OOH BOY it's the kind of thing that has you going back and marking what you missed because it's so !!!!
and then even in dalo when basketball guy grabbed her he was just so stable after for her?? letting her shower and making sure she eats and telling her that he already planned on staying with her when she asked </3 just a very solid and comforting vibe i agree that 3tan yoongi is the best characterization i've ever read to date,, and i've been reading bts fanfics for like 6.5 years (omfg when i say it like THAT ???)
SCREAMINGGGG yāall are gonna make me cry like actual tears !! thank you so much, babeš„ŗ this is so heartwarming w t f Iām more than happy to get this feedback from youš
So some writing commentary for yāall on 3tan yoongi: this has been the absolute biggest exercise of restraint Iāve ever had as a writer. Iām so honored that you like his characterization because even though heās easy to write, thereās also a level of brainpower I have to exercise because there are things to keep in mind while writing him.
Like. I have to stay conscious of how much Yoongi shows. bc, going off what you lovingly said ugh ily, isnāt something massive. His words are few during readerās POVs and his gestures are subtle and even restrained themselves most of the time.
As far as protectiveness and actions, He doesnāt need thank youās or whatever (hell, he wasnāt even planning on telling reader about basketball??) His gestures are grand in the way that they arenāt showy or humongous, but rather just him looking out. No hidden intentions or āyeah I did this just for you now thank mešā type of thing. Itās really just him looking out, just like he would Jimin or bro or someone he considers close to him.
Even with Shiv, he gave advice because he felt like the guy really needed it in that moment. Heās just someone that quietly gives people strength without needing any thank-youās or something in return. How he came to be this way? Who knows! Thereās still a lot to his character that we can explore and Iām really excited about that, tooš
Ahhhh did you go back and read after Anytime?! Hell yeah Iām glad! That was my intention to keep the series rereadable just because the revelation may cause readers to go back and see what hints there were before... Regardless, Iām flattered that you like his characterization fckš„²š He really is my personal comfort person and I hope he gives yāall some slice of peace and assurance when you dive into this series.

3tan yoongi is by far my favorite characterization of him :,) itās so special to have the male lead/ partner in a book be so accommodating and let the other person in the relationship make their own choices and I feel like thatās his #1 rule when it comes to her. he really just goes along with what reader wantsā¦ I love it/ him so much!
Oh my gosh that means the world to me?? What a fcking honor holy shit.
It does seem that heās at that point in his life where heās matured enough to be in tune with the insecurities that reader has, coupled with the fact that heās already positioned himself to be someone they could go to if they needed anythingš„ŗ We know this from the very first part, but it just keeps evolving and that growth has been challenging but rewarding to work with. I love him, tooš Big bad Yoongi just giving the floor to reader every time Iām gonna be S I CKš©š

I really appreciate getting to read from 3tan yoongiās pov cause the duality is insane. Like how sweet is it that he is literally in awe of reader 24/7 but she is kinda unaware to the extent of it. As the story unfolds I love him more and more and appreciate the thought he puts into being what reader needs, even if he doesnāt think so as of yet.
whoa, i didn't even think about the duality?? you've got a super good point there. reader really doesn't know the extent of his feelings but it's because of the way he presents himself :'))) you're so right. AHH this is so thoughtful! he really is growing more as the story goes along, too.
