As soon as I arrived, I was blown away by the rich history and culture that surrounds you in Thessaloniki.

THE GAYEST GAY I SAW THE OTHER DAY Or: 2020 Grammys VLive PART TWO
Where was I? Oh yeah.
ORIGINAL CONTENT FOR TRUTH AND CONTEXT HERE:
And we'll pick it up around 9:35.
He's about to go in, kids. It's at about 9:40 in the original VLive which is in part one of this post.
AND THERE HE GOES. Jeon Jungkook, main singer of BTS and worldwide pop idol, without a Jimin to settle him:
Jimin does not even blink. Hobi is unbothered, living as he did for YEARS with a Koo in Jimin's bed.
At one point, somewhere earlier in there, Koo also went in on Joonie's hair and Jimin just glanced fondly in his general direction like "dammit these things are hard on my baby". Jimin handles "these things" (publicity, sitting still in general) much more easily than his man and he's quite accepting of that. Also he SAW USHER SO.
Fair's fair. Jimin gets to eyeball his crush, Koo gets to fix Namjoon's hair.
BUT OH WAIT it's time for... champagne!
Teleport Jeon to the rescue of the camera and his own sanity.
I think we can all agree that Jimin is absolutely worth staring at, but see the set of Kookie's jaw? Our mans is not happy because Jimin-ssi realized that he was Out Of Order (as per Bangwatch Behavior At The Grammys Protocol For Married Couples) and moves to the opposite side.
It caused enough distress for Jungkook's tongue to try to make an escape via his cheek. I actually felt bad for both of them by this time, because while Jiminie handles placement issues better, kinda, he would always much rather be near his man. Especially when said man is looking FINE LIKE THAT and also suffers from either anxiety or boss-level ADHD. Jimin is Jungkook's center.
Which: that said I have always wondered why Jimin is the moon and Jungkook is the sun when the opposite is actually true. Hasn't made sense to me for several years now. ANYWAY.
Look at them. All of them look amazing but I'm just busy noticing the champagne glasses. And also that, damn my image limit, Jimin went through two glasses in rapid succession and might have gone for a third. Because he too is tired and stressed and elated and he knows what's coming up next.
STAMP COLLECTING IS GONNA HAPPEN. Philately and stress release. Both of those things.
Well fuck an executive order, Jungkook still has control of the camera and two three glasses of champagne ingested rapidly are at play and there is no frame that does not need the Jeon-Parks in it. Especially when there's a camera lens through which they can stare at each other.
They think they're slick. They ain't slick. Fruity as hell but not slick in the least. Keep your A/B/O fanfiction to yourself (Jimin would be alpha in any event).
Jimin is also Over This Shit by now. Jungkook has moved the camera totally to highlight Jimin while ostensibly focusing on Tae, who is trying his damnedest to make a speech and is very cute and also pretty, but Jimin knows what his boyfriend is doing and obliges. I ran out of image space but there's a kissy face right about here, too. Jimin just.... loses it for a few seconds and it's adorable.
The Jeon half of the household agrees with me.
Oh. Let the touching commence.
"Fixing his jacket," Jimin? PFFFTTT HE WAS JUST TOUCHING THOSE PECS THAT'S ALL IT WAS AND THEN
AND THEN JUNGKOOK GOES "Thank you" in English and it is THE CUTEST. They're just eyefucking now. Hobi needs another drink. And Yoongi, well. Yoongi ain't care, he is not even surprised, it's just Friday at the Jeon-Park house.
Seokjin, though. He knows the rules. And Namjoon is not, this time, for once in his LIFE, in the middle. Exactly. FIVE GUYS ARE IN THE MIDDLE and no one is in the middle and this is what happens, PD-nim, when a Jeon goes rogue and STILL HAS CONTROL OF THE CAMERA.
So they wrapped it up.
Because what other choice was there, sixteen minutes and twenty seconds into the Story Of True Love Kept Apart By Closetry And Public Decorum? You can't fight the War of Hormone with that much champagne. It's not possible. What you do is smile pretty and disperse, politely, lest there be another kissing-noises-on-video moment.
I need David Attenborough to narrate the entire mating dance, for real.

TV Shows
Thanks to @mostlyinthemorning for the tag.
rules: list eight shows for your followers to get to know you better, the following are in no particular order.

Wow, the way this made me have Thoughts about Television and Me. I’ll save you (most of) the essay, but I guess I don’t really watch television? Which is weird because I’m only here because of a television show.
I had to think very hard to come up with shows I actually watched (didn’t just quilt/cut coupons/grade homework/update spreadsheets through), watched all of, and enjoyed.
Schitt's Creek
[space to reflect upon and honor the its-own-category-ness of SC]
Friends
The West Wing
Six Feet Under
Mad Men
Fleabag
30 Rock, maybe?
Bad Sisters? (will it stick longterm?)
and a shoutout to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic for raising my child and making me rethink my skepticism towards cartoons (and ponies, friendship, and magic).
Tagging @apothecarose @jamilas-pen @tyfinn @mammameesh @jesuisici33 and @trickiwooao3
