Notice what you notice.
Catch yourself thinking.
Observe what's vivid.
Vividness is self-selecting.
— Allen Ginsberg, "Cosmopolitan Greetings" in Collected Poems, 1947-1980 (Harper and Row, 1984; January 1, 1984) (via Alive on All Channels)

Jk goes live! Tae comments multiple times during the live.
Tae cutely says “you still didn’t wash yet” (and he says it as a statement, not a question). Jk smiles really big after reading his statement, calls him Taehyungie hyung twice and sings his name as “Tae Tae.”

JK smiles and laughs when he realizes Tae is commenting, then answers him.
Timestamp 1:23:49
He then sings “how fun, Tae Tae is here.”
Timestamp 1:24:02
Jk decides to sing “Lemon” but attentively checks if Tae has commented before doing so.
Tae has commented again -
Jk reads his comment audibly - again, Tae writes it as a statement - then mutes the song to answer him.

Tae comments again, stating Jk has fifty bottles of beer. Jk responds he guesses there’s less than 10 cans left now.

Jk changed the lyrics in “lemon” to Tae’s name as he scrolls to see if Tae has left more comments -

Scrolling through comments again to make sure Tae really left, saying “Taehyungie hyung”-

One who Listens
It seems as though
my pain shouts inside me
and as I speak it
to those who harm
I thought they would hear
but they do not
so I start to shout louder
I start to cry
to scream
but they do nothing
and I begin to see
they cannto hear
or see
they are deaf and blind
so no amount of shouting
will make them pay attention
and it only exhausts me
yet His ear I have
He leans down
He hears…

May 31, 2022
May 31, 2022: BTS are at the White House to meet with President Biden to discuss anti Asian hate crimes, and Asian inclusion and representation. What an honor, and a proud moment as a fan of this group, to see them be invited by the current president to discuss such important topics.
Taekook were very perceptive of the other throughout the brief time we see them. Tae says “wow” as he takes in the audience. Jk is attentive to him, glancing over when he says this -
https://twitter.com/winterkoobear/status/1531730293941747712?s=21&t=PwtMnXG6Ig2TNiTaGGRtpw https://twitter.com/randomvante/status/1531715553668349953?s=21&t=PwtMnXG6Ig2TNiTaGGRtpw
Taekook have shown instances in the past where they comfort one another in high pressure situations (an example would be the below on September 13 2021, when Tae extended his hand to briefly shake Jk’s when they were given their special envoy diplomatic passports)
(You can view piece / video here - https://taekooktimeline2021.tumblr.com/post/666293577616375808/bts-meet-with-the-president-and-receive-their)
We also know Taekook like to shoulder bump each other. We see these subtle, quiet reassurance to one another again, at the White House. Tae leans back before bumping Jk -
Jk nods his head and then reciprocates with a bump of his own -
Tae subtly does another bump.
https://twitter.com/taekookgalleryy/status/1531711513098358784?s=21&t=3tIpU3gQMwEUOnGCKwlPiw https://twitter.com/_k91230v_/status/1531710718436814849?s=21&t=3tIpU3gQMwEUOnGCKwlPiw
Tae watched Jk attentively during his speech. Unfortunately, screenshots can’t capture it but it looks like Tae was originally going to give Jk a soft smile as he made his way back, but gave him adorable bread cheeks instead. See the clip and decide -
https://twitter.com/_k91230v_/status/1531712359055491072?s=21&t=PwtMnXG6Ig2TNiTaGGRtpw
Jk was laser focused during Tae’s speech -
https://twitter.com/taemi_kv/status/1531714749431422977?s=21&t=3tIpU3gQMwEUOnGCKwlPiw (more below, but at :13 you can see Jk’s hands moving like he’s about to clap but stops himself) https://twitter.com/kvlomlss/status/1531713892811829248?s=21&t=3tIpU3gQMwEUOnGCKwlPiw
Pictures don’t really do this justice, but after Tae’s speech, Jk was going to clap. You can see his fingers change from their resting position for a nanosecond before he stops himself. Resting -
uncurling to clap but then stopping himself -
https://twitter.com/bwisvk/status/1531713751766138880?s=21&t=3tIpU3gQMwEUOnGCKwlPiwhttps://twitter.com/jeontae_kimgguk/status/1531716371637477376?s=21&t=3tIpU3gQMwEUOnGCKwlPiw
I highly encourage you to see the below clip because these still really don’t show it as well. In any event, a close up - clasped -

Jk has a soft smile when the translator says “V”’and translates his part of the speech. Initially -

For fun - There was a couple of Taekookers in the press audience, zooming in and taking multiple photos of the duo-

Wanted to bring attention to the fact that Bisan called for mass protests today (April 1st). It’s okay if you can’t march yourself, but please make it a point to spread this so that those who can march do so—and also take this as your own checkpoint to ask yourself if you’ve been faltering in terms of sharing information about Palestine, doing what you can to fund humanitarian aid in Palestine, and staying informed as to the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Some might say it has been 6 months of this, but to me that’s all the more reason to make noise now more than ever. This is one of very few spaces on the Internet where Palestine has not been abandoned in people’s endless efforts to dehumanize Arabs. Please continue amplifying the dialogue surrounding this genocide. Free Palestine. Free Palestins always.
