#for real though - if you were an ikonic from that time

Can I make a really sad nostalgic post about IKON again? As some of you may or may not know, they used to be my bias group. The events of 2019 changed the entire fandom overnight. I was not a Hanbin solo stan but he was so important to the group that everything sort of imploded after he left. I call it the Long Death because that's what it feels like. I know the members are still active and working, which gives me a lot of comfort, but it will always have this bittersweet edge to it all.
I got so sad today when I realised just how many old ikon tumblrs simply stopped posting or the users made a conscious decision to leave both the fandom and tumblr. It's seriously so sad looking at the time stamps of their last posts.
Anyway, if you are/were an ikon fan, I hope you are having a good day today and it would be nice to reminisce with anyone who wants to cry about it, haha.

✂ txt as my favorite romance tropes
Tumblr media
hello! this is my first work, i had no idea it would take me so long to set everything up lolol. 
anywho! each txt member will have a fluffy trope and each will have their own confession scenario. (i totally went overboard w yeonjun’s and beomgyu’s)
Tumblr media
fluffy and cliche tropes, gn!reader, use of profanity 
ღ yeonjun, older sibling's friend/older childhood friend
♫ playing now : i wait by day6 & but you by ikon
yeonjun gives off that protective mentor type vibe
you and him would have grown up together
making his feelings seem 10x more awkward (in his eyes at least)
he went from thinking you were some little sibling to him, to an attractive person overnight it seems
he would never ever try anything until you were both adults, though even after you turned 18, he didn’t do jack shit
if you have an older sibling, they would’ve AUTOMATICALLY caught on once yeonjun and them got into high school
“ayo, why do you keep wanting to hang out at my house anyway?”
“... no comment..?”
naH because this man started giving you the cold shoulder when he hit high school
“why?”, you may ask
well because he was afraid if he saw you smile at him, he’d fall even deeper
at that point in his life, having you scowl at him was better
man was patient for a lifetime (to him at least)
he was always looking for a hint from you, just one hint!
the hint came to him on your 20th birthday
Tumblr media
 when it was your 20th birthday, guess who was the first to wish you happy bday at 12:00 am? ding ding, it was mr. choi yeonjun. it was a heartfelt message, one that felt more sentimental than past years, for whatever reason.
 “happy birthday y/n. you’re already 20, that’s insane. feels like just yesterday you were hiding behind me because the lights were off in your house. i hope i have been a good friend and role model to you this whole time. i’ll see you later today.
yeonjun :)”
 the reason why it felt so sad? yeonjun was giving up on you. you had given him no hints, and yeonjun had to accept that maybe it wasn’t meant to be. maybe your age gap was too large for you. 
 then it was time for your bday party, yeonjun wanted to go out with a bang. he wore a nice black shirt with fitting black jeans, he had recently dyed his hair an ashy gray, so his look was very low maintenance but effective. his heart pounded as he drove to your place with care, your presents secured in his passenger seat. even though he was a complete mess on the inside, a smile was plastered on his face, never leaving.
 then he saw you, all dolled and tidied up for your birthday party. you had opened the door for him, exclaiming that he was the first one there, he expected no less. your smile calmed his hyperventilating heart, your eyes that eagerly surveyed your presents in his hand seemed to hypnotize him. your sweet voice thanking him for coming repeated in his head long after greetings were done. he was totally whipped.
 he watched as you (cutely) scurried around, trying to make sure everything is absolutely perfect for your other guests. 
“you came so early, you know, i wasn’t ready!” you whined, a pout forming on your lips.
 he apologized with no real sincerity, he was glad only he could see you like this, all flustered and worried. when you felt fully satisfied, you walked back to him, he was sprawled on the couch, his phone holding his attention. he could feel your gaze on him almost instantly, and locked eyes with you, his phone not leaving his hands.
“all done?” yeonjun asked, sitting up fully.
“yeah, do you like it?” you replied, your eyes lighting up like stars.
 his eyes took a quick swipe of the living room, the decorations were in no way fancy or perfect, but it was just so you that he couldn’t help but love it. a smile crept onto his face, and he turned to you. he was about to compliment you when he was taken aback by the expecting look on your face. your eyes were wide and a small but noticeable smile was on that face he loved. he found himself stumbling over his words as he scratched the back of his neck.
“yeah uh, i like the decorations, they’re..um..very cute,” he said, looking away. 
 his face was heating up, god, the things you do to his heart. he heard you giggle in satisfaction, your warmth leaving his perimeter. 
this bday party was going to be so fucking dangerous. 
Tumblr media
 when it was time for you to open the presents, yeonjun stood off to the side, not wanting to get too close to the crowd, just incase anyone could hear his heart pound from anxiety. he drowned out everything but your voice, and he was just waiting for you to say his name.
“whose gift is this? oh! yeonjun!” 
 his ears perked up like a cat’s, and he peered over your guests’ shoulders, and he saw you unwrapping your gifts. he had gone all out, spending well over $70 for all your gifts. he really wanted to make sure you wouldn’t forget him. he swore he could’ve died happy when he saw the gigantic smile on your face, one that meant that he did a good job. 
 a sour taste erupted in his mouth, thoughts of you smiling for anyone other than him invaded his mind. however he knew he couldn’t think that way, you weren’t an object for him to own, but he just wanted to clip your wings so that you couldn’t fly away.
Tumblr media
 he doesn’t know how he got there, but he found himself standing alone outside your house, the party still raging on. he sat on the space in front of your door, thinking that this might be the last time he ever gets to do this. he always though that the sky looked prettier when he looked at it from your door. the front door was slightly ajar, just enough so yeonjun wouldn’t have to worry about being locked out. he heard the door slightly creak open, and he turned to see you peaking through the doorway.
“oh it’s just you, i was worried because the front door was open. what are you doing here all alone?” you asked, coming to sit down next to him. 
 words couldn’t form in his mouth, he just stared at your face. the face he had grown to love over the many years he’s known you, the face that he would wipe tears off of when someone had dared to hurt you, the face he would think of when he was stressed out, the face he loved so dearly. he wanted to respond to your question, but his throat choked up and he found himself tearing up.
“hey y/n?”
“yeah?”
“would you miss me if i moved away?”
“what kind of a question is that?! of course i would! you’re one of my closest friends.”
“friend..”
 now you were worried, he wasn’t thinking of actually moving right? he looked up at you and all he could see was your lips, he did want to go out with a bang. suddenly all you could hear was the beating of your hearts. 
“i like you, y/n. i’ve liked you for years now,” yeonjun said, looking into your eyes for a hint once more.
 you smiled and held his face.
“kiss me then.”
Tumblr media
ღ soobin, secret admirer (the simp who won)
♫ playing now : chocolate by day6
i definitely see soobin as a really attentive person
someone who will study the person he likes so he can make them the happiest if they were to date
he was your classmate in one of your classes, and you only talked to him because of a school project
but, let’s be honest, you probably thought he was cute even before that
because, LOOK AT HIM
after that school project, soobin probably fell hella hard
(sorry to my fellow lazy and shy folks) i feel like he would only fall for you if you were either someone who took initiative or who did your part well
i see him as someone who wants an independent but kind partner
BUT, let’s just say he fell for you no matter what you are
he would start to say good morning/afternoon to you everyday
and you also started getting presents on/in your desk or in your locker
he would listen to you talk to your friends and look at what snacks you would bring, just so he could buy things for you
he would get you a lot of sweets if you like them!
he’s really shy so i feel like he would doubt his abilities to win you over head-on :(
but he’s also not good at hiding shit
like he would give away so many hints without even knowing it
like atp everyone in the class knows, soobin can’t be slick to save his life
he would accidently drop the receipts for things he bought on the floor, RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, and walk away like nothing happened
needless to say, you caught on quick :)
Tumblr media
 the bell rang, signaling that class was over, and you heard your classmates sigh in relief. you held a chocolate bar that you had found on your desk from your secret admirer and you felt it slowly melt from your hand’s heat. your classmates started to stand up as the teacher dismissed you all, your seatmate, soobin stood up rather fast; it looked like he was really eager to get home. as he stood up to leave, you saw something drop from his pant’s pocket, it was white and looked clumped up together. you left your seat to pick it up, your nosy self uncrumpled it to see what it was; only to see multiple receipts of things you recognized. chocolate bars, flowers, cards? you stared a bit harder before you realized. you chuckled, only soobin would be so clumsy as to expose himself.
“soobin! you dropped something,” you said, making his ears perk up.
 he turned around and you saw his face drop. you felt really bad as you could the panic from across the classroom.
“u-uh, thank you! i don’t need those anymore, i’m gonna go!” he yelled, running out of the classroom in a frenzy.
 you giggled slightly, standing up to see if you could catch him before he left the building. 
Tumblr media
 you managed to catch up to him before he left through the front doors, and grabbed his arm.
“soobin let’s talk-”
“no! i already know what you’re going to say, i...i’m not good enough for you,” soobin said, slight sniffles coming from him.
 you smiled, tugging his arm a bit harder. 
“you can’t put words in my mouth soobin,” you said, looking at him straight in the eye.
 he tried to stammer protests, but his body was jell-o the second you touched his arm. he could only helplessly follow you, like a moth to a flame. you stopped once you guys were somewhere where no one was around, you sighed as you watched him wipe his tears.
“were you the one giving me those gifts?” you asked.
 he looked away as he nodded shyly.
“i like you too soobin, so please look at me,” you said, smiling as he turned his head around quickly.
“really?!” he exclaimed, his eyes brightening.
 you nodded and got the wind absolutely knocked out of you as he hugged you vigorously, he definitely forgot he was a 6′1′’ giant.

ღ beomgyu, bringing strangers together because of a secret (think maid-sama)
♫ playing now : stereotype by stayc & after school by weeekly
ok so we know that beomgyu was in a band predebut
now what if we think of an au where he was in an underground rock band, like delinquent level
you and your classmates see him as that one guy who could potentially be considered a “quiet kid” with his long hair and all
for context i’m basing this off of lovesong!beomgyu
he ignored the teacher when asked to introduce himself on the first day so none of yall knew his name until the teacher called on him a week later
i know that beomgyu is extremely hyper, but let’s pretend he’s not bc he’s not comfortable w his classmates yet (well, gyu, you never WILL be if you don’t try but ok!)
you kinda forgot he was in your class ngl
mans does not talk at all 
one day you were hanging out with some friends after school and one of your friends suggested you try and sneak into a band’s show 
and of course you all loveeee bad ideas!
the band you guys chose was a rock band that had a guy on the cover of the poster
he had long messy hair and only the bottom half of his face was showing
he was smiling and his smile was hot to you so that’s why you chose it-
when you guys did manage to sneak in, you looked at the stage and immediately regretted your decision
was-
was that fucking beomgyu?!
the loner?!
the quiet kid?!
you wanted to nope out of there but most of your friends wanted to stay because they thought the band members were attractive
“noooo you don’t understand that’s my classm-”
you looked up and beomgyu was staring at you like (⊙o⊙)
“FUCKKKK”
Tumblr media
 the music was blaring as your friends tugged you through the crowd, getting closer to the stage. for some reason, your heart was fluttering as you heard a husky voice sing, it was beomgyu. his eyes never left you even as he sang, he smiled and all your friends started freaking out.
“omg omg, did you see that! he’s staring right at us!” 
 you felt your face going red as you quietly left your friends, you weaved through the sea of cheering people, making it to a bathroom. you opened the door and walked in, the band’s sound even made it to the bathroom but you could still make out some noises in the stalls. 
“no way.”
 people were actually fucking in the bathroom stalls. you booked it out of there so fast you could’ve beat usain bolt. you crouched down next to the door and put a hand over your chest to calm your nerves. this place does not fit me at all, how does he handle this?? you did deep breaths as you walked slowly back to the main stage, only to be stopped by a guy in a black hoodie. 
“hey you’re pretty cute, you come here often?” he said, inching closer to you.
 you shook your head as you tried to walk past him, only to feel his hand on your shoulder. he gripped your shoulder tightly and you were about to slap his hand away when suddenly you felt someone pull you away. you looked up to thank your savior and locked eyes with beomgyu. he looked at you and his eyes ran over your face to see any signs of injuries, when he found none he smiled and looked back at the guy who tried to hit on you.
“how about you don’t grab one of my fans?” beomgyu said, pushing the guy back. 
 i’m not even your fan but okay beomgyu. the guy put his hands up in defeat as he walked past the two of you, and you got the chance to be alone with beomgyu. his hands were still protectively wrapped around your shoulders.
“...please don’t tell anyone you saw me here,” beomgyu said, looking at you with pleading eyes.
“i didn’t even think of reporting you, don’t worry. i think it’s cool that you have a hobby like this, even though our school banned, you know, going to a club with alcohol,” you replied, watching as the tension released from his body.
“thank you, thank you so much y/n,” he bowed and then released his grip on you. 
Tumblr media
 for the next coming weeks, beomgyu started to talk to you. he would come up to you at lunch to ask you if you wanted to eat together, to which you always said “yes, but what do i get out of it?”. the decided deal was he would sing for you and you would eat with him. you grew to love his voice, and you always brought an extra water bottle for him just incase his throat got dry.
 one day he handed you a flyer for his band’s next show. the flyer had half of his face once again, and he was pointing at the camera with that same smile you had grown to admire.
“can you come by yourself..?” he asked, looking away.
“sure thing.”
“just make sure to come a little earlier than the time written down there. ok?”
 you nodded as he turned around and walked off, with a little bit more pep in his step. he was glad that he had finally made a friend. 
Tumblr media
 when you walked in, you handed the bouncer the flyer beomgyu had given you and the bouncer smiled at you knowingly. you gave the bouncer a confused look and they leaned into your ear.
“so you’re the person he keeps talking about!”
“..wha..?”
 the bouncer merely ushered you inside, and you were greeted with the sound of the band tuning their instruments. you walked up to the stage and beomgyu looked at you with surprise.
“what? you didn’t think i would come?” you asked.
“no! i never said that! you just look good that’s all,” he said, flustering you a bit.
“so i didn’t before?”
 he let out a groan before he put down his guitar and hopped the stage to talk to you face to face. 
“i hope you listen closely tonight.”
“why?”
 he smiled, more bright than he did at school, and put his hand on his neck.
“i just worked really hard is all.”
Tumblr media
 when the music began, beomgyu was already staring at you HARD. goddamn y/n, you sure are a looker. you sure aren’t dumb, i mean unless you are, but you could tell that this song was going to be for you. his mouth opened and all you could hear was him, him, and him. the crowd’s screams, his member’s voices and instruments, they all suddenly didn’t exist. 
 time sped by so fast, and you couldn’t believe it had already been an hour. the band bowed as the crowd applauded, and you waited for beomgyu to come to you. he leaped off the stage once more, and when he got close enough. you hugged him and your faces were closer than ever. 
“if you couldn’t tell, i like you,” beomgyu said.
Tumblr media
ღ taehyun, mr. oblivious/dense and his shy but persistent admirer
♫ playing now : some by soyou & 200% by akmu
taehyun sometimes has this clueless look on his face like
⊙0⊙ or ◉◡◉
that’s why i gave him the mr. oblivious trope
if you like him, i feel like you would have to tell him straight up
flirting or courting him won’t work
so this situation could be similar to nozaki-kun
like he is just so DENSE
you could get down on one knee with a ring, and he’d be like “get up the floor is dirty (✿◠‿◠)”
ok maybe not to that extent but you get the idea
this could go on for like MONTHS, everyone around you guys would be able to tell BUT HIM
he’d think that you’re just really nice!
you give him snacks and walk with him when you see him
you say good morning and good afternoon to him
you give him sprite when you have an extra 
yes it is totally because i bought extra and not because i bought it for you taehyun
it would be going on for sO LONG, like are you ok?? are you a masochist?
honestly i would snap after a while
however, since you’re still shy, this confuses taehyun
like why do you give him gifts and say good morning and such, without sticking around to have a conversation with him?
ngl he probably thinks you’re scared of him or smth
like- he thinks he’s unintentionally intimidating you into giving him gifts n shit LOL
he would start to pity you, he wants to talk to you but you always run away
 you’ve had the biggest crush on taehyun for what feels like eternity, and you have done everything you could to convey your feelings. however, being really shy, the words “i like you” are totally not in your vocabulary. every time you see him, you can only manage a simple greeting and gift before scurrying off. you don’t know how his face looks like when he sees you, as you can’t make eye contact with him. does he smile? is he weirded out? you wish you could look him in the eye and be confident enough to confess. 
 however, your defense began to crumble when taehyun decided to start trying to chase after you. after you said your greetings, taehyun would start to ask you about your day so far, how you were, etc. after he began doing that, you decided the only way to keep your heart from bursting, was to ignore him. no more random gifts, no more greetings, and no more interactions. you were fine admiring him from the sidelines, after all, you had been doing that all this time; what’s the difference? 
Tumblr media
 how did you end up in this situation? why was taehyun pinning you against the wall of a café you decided to go to this morning? his left arm was above you, and his right hand was politely at his side. his eyes felt like they were staring into your soul. your face was heating up, it was getting hard to breathe. your heart could only thump-thump it’s life out, trying to keep you up-right so you wouldn’t faint.
“why have you been ignoring me?” taehyun asked.
 what?
“i-ignoring you?” you replied, feeling a bit dumb.
“yeah, you haven’t been saying hi to me at all for the past few weeks! what’s the deal?” he asked, his voice raising slightly in volume.
 you began to curl into yourself, hugging the wall for dear life. if you thought it’d be hard to look into his eyes before, it is basically a death sentence now. he sounded so irate, but so hot. 
“i..i’m sorry,” you uttered.
“sorry? no i don’t want a ‘sorry’, i want you to tell me that you’ll talk to me. am i scary or something?” he continued.
“n-no! you’ll never scare me, i just..assumed..,” you felt your throat seizing up.
 he was so close, you could feel his body heat radiating onto you. 
“assumed what, y/n, don’t blue-ball me now. tell me what i did, and we can work this out,” taehyun said, his voice softening when he realized you look smaller then when he first saw you today.
 you felt his concern, he was concerned, for you? why did he want to bother with you? why did he care so much, so much to the point of hunting you down? why? your mind was going a million places, when suddenly taehyun hugged your waist with his right hand, his heartbeat slowly becoming noticeable to you. you looked at him for the first time ever, and took a deep breath. 
“y-youstartedtryingtotalktomeallofasuddenandigotnervous!” you rambled, squeezing your eyes shut. 
“nervous of what y/n? did you think i was trying to hurt you? i could never hurt someone as cute as you, i mean look at you. you’re curled into yourself darling,” taehyun said, the sweetness dripping from his lips.
 he really had no idea how flirty he was being, did he? you heard him call his guy friends and girl friends ‘darling’ before, so you knew you weren’t special. 
“i was nervous that you would notice i -- !” you stopped yourself, sliding down the wall and balling yourself up.
“..lik...ou.”
 your butt was touching the floor now, then you heard taehyun shifting around until he was at the same level as you. you didn’t want to see his facial expression right now.
“what’d you say y/n? please tell me,” he asked.
“ilikeyou,” you whispered, just loud enough for him to hear, “now please leave me alone, i know you don’t like me b-”
 his hand touched the top of your head, and he giggled. 
“you’re so cute angel.” 
Tumblr media
“you have to look at me for me to kiss you angel.”
“i know i know, just give me a second.”
 it had been months since you two began dating, and you still didn’t have your first kiss due to your shyness. taehyun decided that on the 3-month mark, you had to let him kiss you (if you said no, then he wouldn’t pressure you, but thankfully you said yes to the plan). 
 now you were sitting on his bed, your head staring at the sheets as taehyun waited for you to look at him like a puppy. since dating him, you realized that taehyun’s love language was physical touch and that you being close to him was important for him to understand that you loved him. 
“take your time angel,” taehyun said, leaning back a tad bit.
 you slowly lifted your head, scanning his entire body, and finally resting on his face. his eyes were expecting you, he smiled as you finally made eye contact. he raised his left hand to caress your face, and he leaned a little closer. his eyes now staring at your lips.
“l-let’s stay like this for a little bit, my heart is pounding too much,” you said, feeling his right hand touch your lower back to bring you closer.
 he hummed in response, and rested his head on your right shoulder, his right hand drawing small circles. he let his left hand fall as he waited patiently, loving the feeling of your warm body touching his. you looked up at the ceiling and realized that you were lucky to find someone who could deal with your shyness, someone who would be okay with just holding hands, or you just sitting next to him. you smiled and tapped taehyun’s shoulder.
“do it.”
“finally.”
Tumblr media
ღ huening kai, class clown/social butterfly x student council member
♫ playing now : some by bol4 & attention by newjeans
finally we reached our cutie hyuka
now obviously i don’t know if he’s truly the class clown but his laugh... it RADIATES class clown energy
he IS that class disruption that people want to hate but can’t because he’s so damn cute
probably has students folding for him with his bubbly and humorous personality
but! you being a student council member, you are basically his enemy
someone who’s always trampling on his fun :(
you two probably grew up going to the same schools
he knows who you are and always wants to catch up with you
but you always give him the cold shoulder for whatever reason
you most likely liked him when yall were younger and when you hit high school you wanted to impress him by joining student council
but it backfired because the school needed you to keep up appearances
plus the pressure from your other members :((
yeah you never got the chance to talk to kai once yall began school
it makes him sad to look at you stressing out and losing the sparkle you had when you two were younger
so he tries extra hard to make the class environment happier so when you walk in, you won’t get negative vibes
probably sees you getting scolded by a fellow council member and decides to finally walk up to you and get you to have fun with him
“i asked you to do just one thing! why can’t you do anything right?! god y/n, it’s like you joined student council without getting an education first, why did we get such a dumbass?” 
“i hear what you’re saying, but this is completely inappropriate. if you have a problem with me personally, we can discuss this with our advisor, instead of berating me and embarrassing the entire student council in the public hallway. please go and compose yourself before accusing me of not doing my role.”
 your fellow member stormed off with an eye-roll, and you sighed before turning around to see kai standing there with his eyes wide open.
“wow! you were so cool y/n!” he exclaimed, a smile on his face.
i’m cool..? he thinks i’m cool..? 
“what do you need kai?” you asked, forcing a straight face.
“i just wanted to see if you were ok, i saw that person yelling at you,” kai replied, a pout replacing his smile. 
“well i’m fine, thank you. now please excuse me, i must go home now,” you said, nearing your breaking point.
 nothing seemed to be going right this week, first you fail to do a homework assignment on time, leading to you forgetting about the work your member asked you to do, then you got yelled at in front of multiple students and kai, it really was not your week. you walked into the bathrooms and started to stare at yourself. 
 you joined student council to look cool for kai, but now look at you. heavy eyebags, unkempt hair, lazy school clothes, and no life in your eyes. 
“kai would never want me now..,” you muttered to yourself, mindlessly fixing your wrinkled clothes. 
 you took one more look at yourself, and burst into tears. it was all too much for you. the pressure of keeping up an image, a false image, you wish you could be like kai. he was free and constantly expressing himself in ways you could never think of for yourself. you were jealous of him, you wanted to get the wings you were sure he was gifted. 
 you washed your face lightly and stepped out of the bathroom, and felt a giant force come from your right as someone hugged you with a ton of vigor.
“e-excuse me!” you yelled, looking at your attacker.
 kai merely glanced down at you with 10 peoples’ worth of pity. was..was he listening to you cry? 
“let’s go have fun, y/n, please?”
Tumblr media
 turns out his idea of “fun”, was dragging you to an arcade. the whole time, he was urging you to find a game you wanted to play together, but his eyes kept drifting to the stuffie claw game. after playing a few games of your choice, you walked over to the claw machine, staring intently at which one he would like.
“kai, choose one. i’ll try and get it for you,” you said. 
“choose one? i was going to ask you to choose one for yourself..i am the one who invited you after all, but if you insist!” he replied, proceeding to stick his face onto the glass.
 you giggled as he saw his nose sploosh against the glass as he stared at the stuffies with endless child-like curiosity. you knew damn well he would not be able to pick one, so you tapped his shoulder to get him out of his stuffie-drunk state.
“you’re not going to be able to pick just one, i know, let me just get one for you so we can go home,” you said, gently pushing him aside.
 kai pouted but nodded as he watched you get into position. he watched intently as the arm moved to the right, then to the left, and slowly..slowly went down, and grabbed a stuffie that looked just like you. 
“here,” you handed him the stuffie.
 he started to giggle slightly.
“it looks just like you! it has your angry eyes and your cute cheeks!” he said, poking the stuffie all over its face.
 he hugged the stuffie tightly. 
“you should just hug me then. i look just like it anyways,” you said, looking away in embarrassment. 
 a loud gasp came from him, and you got tackled, nearly crashing into the claw machine. 
“ahh i love you! you’re so cute when you talk to me!” kai squealed, hugging you like you were going to disappear.
“you love me?”
Tumblr media
 now after you two started dating, kai made an effort to be the most ANNOYING couple ever. 
random hallway tummy rubs?
check.
bursting into your classroom just to say he loves you?
check.
carrying you on his back when you slightly trip?
check. 
being extremely cheesy and cringy?
check, check, and check.
 have fun with this giant ass penguin who probably does not understand personal boundaries.
Tumblr media

i know you said you didnt want to talk about it, but re: one of the other anons about the soukor drug cases.
The second video they linked they said a "top global group from sm", but when i actually went to the video's comments, it seems that it was only about BTS members? theres also one comment that the youtube creator hearted that translated to "BTS did it, but why is our EXO tagged ㅠㅠ". and there are several comments defending bts members, regarding things the video implied, but no comments on exo members.
also about the alleged br*thel list thing, i highly doubt that any information will come out about those celebs if they havent taken drugs at the buildings. most of the men on list are single/unmarried, so theres also no means for "hes having an affair" if there are no drugs involved.
As I said when you see this fuss happening know that the government fucked up and they need a distraction to sway the General Public's Attention from the real matter to a stupid Idol scandal. And all companies sign this with The government to help distract the people to not create a Frenzy in the community and create internal wars and fights which may lead to Separation, Vandalism and Rebellion! It's a Political tactic to control the People of the Land.
And in back, the companies get immense Sponsorships and Raise in their Shares and stocks and bigger exposure. It's a WIN-WIN situation for both parties, only the idols are the victims but some get real cash for accepting to be the bait aka Media Plays.
Government asks big companies to release relevant idols' OLD scandals from the archive to create a gray smoke to hide the real Chaos! Some idols go as sacrifice as their companies sold their info and scandals with evidence for the governmental institutions and sell them and their secrets to the media and Sasaengs! Yes companies sell their Idols! You saw how YG simply sold everything about GD and later on when they were asked they said he's no longer under them so they don't know. Lol you see the betrayal. And they do that when they don't care or want an idol anymore and they just don't care about his career and they did ruin B.I from iKon and BOM from 2ne1, and Lucas from NCT, and Chanyeol, and Bobby and GDragon and TOP from BigBang, and Goo Hara from TARA, and many many more.
Remember they hid the big issue with the old president's impurities and scams and Crimes by bringing up "the Burning Sun" scandal that happened way long ago, and they hid the burning Sun with Jenkai, it was all happening at the same period of time.
Camouflage over Camouflage over Camouflage.
They hid that government personality named "Kyungsoo" during the same day by Dropping the " D.O or Kyungsoo from Exo have officially left SM entertainment" the same day the other Kyungsoo fucked up, while Our D.O's leaving SM fight with SM happened in January but they didn't expose it because SM would lose stocks! They did all their best to hide no company would risk the Loss they will face when the exposure of their potential idol leaving UNLESS they're getting Way more money and Shares and Stocks than what they'll lose 😉 you got what I mean 😉?
They used Kwangsoo and exposed his relationship to hide a lot of shit happening back then. Even though many said him and that woman were just in a business relationship. But I don't wanna believe that.
They used NCT's Taeyang's past and ruined him to hide some political issues and SM thought it was the best time to drop it because it's even more convenient that Kris's departure is happening and affected the company so bad. And they used Baekhyun and Taeyeon and exposed their relationship to hide all this.
Again Camouflage over Camouflage over Camouflage.
Some on the other hand get casted in less harmful scandals aka " SET UP DATING SCANDALS MEDIA PLAY" like Jongin and Jennie did, and Kaistal and Jisoo and Ahn Bohyun and HEECHUL and Momo and So on, Jennie and GDragon. Though Jenkai came to Cover up a lot, to Cover up The burning Sun and Jennie's Lazy Scandal and her affair with her Own Boss YG.
The only couple whom I think were genuine are Jihyo and Daniel, at this point.

Hi Cleo. Is it even worth it doing kink reading on these young boys like enhypen txt they did not even had time to grow and know themselves sexually? And so it's usually very uninteresting to read in comparison to older idols. 🥰
Hello!
No, it's not worth it! 😂 I said it multiple times that these youngsters will always have less interesting readings as they don't really know themselves enough yet to actually have some kinks or preferences. It will always portray a certain level of frustration on their side because they are still searching for their real self. 😊 And it's perfectly okay! I was the same when I was their age. But it's not interesting from this type of tarot reading perspective. What can I do, though? Tumblr users are usually young and they listen to these groups so I get reaquests for Enhypen and TXT. 😁
Obviously I would be happier with requests for 2PM, Big Bang, Super Junior, CNBlue, more BtoB, TVXQ, EXO, SHINee, NU'EST (they disbanded but still...), INFINITE, Winner, iKON, Block B... You know, the idols with certain life experience.
I mean just look how interesting the readings for GOT7 members were, the one for Taemin... And I have done many readings for 2PM in private and they are hella fun. But what can I do? These fandoms are not so popular on Tumblr. 😂

The only smtm winner thats always been relevant has been loco, the others just kinda disappear and reappear in intervals?? Not disappear but their music doesn’t seem to be that great after their win? I think bobby is still relevant but its hard to really say because of that YG chokehold so yeaaa i think I’d take the money over being a smtm winner. I mean look at woo won jae, not a winner but he is indeed making money
I meant to answer this a while ago but then I lost the response.
Anyway, long story short, I agree that IDK how relevant Bobby would still be without YG. It's kinda a double edged sword cause I feel like he could be bigger as a solo rapper if YG had really pushed him after SMTM. The problem was, his original goal was still to promote with iKon and get the group debuted. So that kinda slowed down his solo. On the otherhand, I feel like he wouldn't have gotten all the opportunities he's gotten as far as TV shows, touring all over the world, and his whole body of work with iKon, MOBB, and as a solo artist without YG.
Ok I said long story short but that was a lie...
I agree that for many, the music doesn't seem that great after they go on SMTM. I feel like for some (like Cj*m blocked his name cause I don't wanna be mean lol) their music actually declined post SMTM when they were doing good still pre-SMTM. But I think it could also have to do with his real life struggles and not having as much bandwidth to focus on music. I know he didn't win but I'm just using him as an example. Honestly, same with BeWhy though tbh. But honestly, he was working with Gray and he's a genius so I can't actually fault him for not having as good songs.
For Punch (smtm8), I honestly wasn't even a big fan of most of the stuff he did on show me 8. And it seems like most peopel didn't like most songs from SMTM8 so hat just puts him in a bad position all the way around. Plus, I feel like I don't hear much about him. I know he's on AOMG but I completely forget that. (Also, side note but just fucking realized that he's younger than me by about 2 weeks wtf? LOL)
Nafla's issue was his legal issues and everybody is just waiting for him to get back on track with everything.
Then we have yet to see with Lil Boi but I have faith in him because I've seen him stuff from AFTER SMTM4 and it's better than the stuff he did on SMTM4. I arguably think the stuff he did with Geeks is just as quality as the stuff he did on SMTM9 and that's saying a lot. Hi officially missing you song as part of Geeks did well long before SMTM4 too so again, kinda shows you his musical prowess (along with Louie as well).
The "problem" is that Lil Boi takes a LONG time to make his music lol. Not really a "problem" cause good stuff takes time and I think i shows when artists take time in their music BUT unfortunately it's a market where people expect you to put out stuff VERY rapidly. Only a select few artists can get by with putting stuff out with very long breaks in between. That's because they proved their quality. Luckily for Lil Boi he'll be on SMTM11 this year and I think that will help as far as exposure. People really like Lil Boi as a person too so I think it will help to make him stick in people's mind more. (Kinda like DPR Live, you know? How we like his music A LOT but also him as a person so we sick beside him no matter how long it takes for more content. Especially since we know it's gonna be good when it finally drops LOL)
Anyway, hat ended up being just as long as the original post I lost and I think I like this one better too! That's all for now though.

peacemaker
ateez 9th member.
when bobby uses his last resort to help calm the awkwardness between hwiyoung and sunwoo.
request from a lovely anon hehe!
➴ taglist: @banhmi07, @jiyeons-closet, @jaeminpeachy, @mochibabycakes
➴ masterlist
Tumblr media
Stepping out of the van, Jiyu stared up at the building, feeling the slightest bit intimidated by how much of an aura it gave off. 
“It’s been years since I’ve been here...” she mumbled, pulling her bucket hat back onto her head after it started to slip from her craning her head.
She never thought she’d have a reason to come back to YG after MIXNINE. 
“Hi Jiyu, I think I need your help.”
“I—huh?”
She was surprised that Bobby was actually calling her, staring at her phone in awe at the caller ID for too long at that she almost forgot to answer the man. Needing her help for something was the last thing she had expected. 
“You and Sunwoo are dating, right?” he asked.
“Y-Yes,” she stuttered, wondering where he was going with this, “Did something happen?”
“Do you happen to know why he keeps staring holes into Hwiyoung? Or why Hwiyoung’s so cautious of him?”
“Is Sunwoo going through that phase again?” Wooyoung asked, leaning close to her to eavesdrop on the phone call. 
Pushing Wooyoung’s face away, Jiyu sheepishly chuckled, knowing the root of the problem. “I think I do actually...”
And that was how Bobby had the grand idea of inviting her over to YG to help him deal with a savage Sunwoo. Deep down, she didn’t really mind since then she could see him for a bit before she had to go back to dance practice. 
Entering the building, her jaw dropped open when she saw how large and spacious the interior was. She was so busy admiring the new environment that she almost elbowed the person who snaked their arms around her waist, but she immediately recognized the person when she heard him giggle. 
She twisted around before gently digging her hands into his hair, making his giggles intensify. “What’s it with you and sneaking up on me?”
“Your little jumps are cute,” he cooed, bumping foreheads with her before pulling back and slightly tilting his head to the side, “What are you even doing here?”
Right, she was supposed to be here to help Bobby. 
“A little birdie told me you were, and I quote, staring holes into Hwiyoung sunbaenim and he’s being cautious around you.”
The corners of his lips turned down before he whipped his head over to where Bobby and Hwiyoung looking anywhere but at them and casually eating the ice cream they bought. While feeling kind of embarrassed since Bobby was someone he really idolized, he also felt kind of bad that he had to resort to bringing Jiyu here to help. 
“Can you blame me though?” he turned back towards her and asked, giving her his best puppy eyes to hopefully soften her up. 
Which worked, but she wasn’t going to let it show that easily. 
“Woo, I thought we already established the fact that all was forgiven and that we’re friends now,” she softly chuckled at his dejected expression. He resembled a scolded puppy that had his ears hanging down and his eyes downcast. 
His arms tightened around her waist. “But I can’t let such a golden opportunity pass when we’re in the same team,” a mischievous smile crossed his lips, “I promise I’m not doing any real damage, I’m just teasing hyung here and there.”
With a breathy chuckle, pinched both of his cheeks in with her fingers, enjoying his little grunts to let go. “You really are a big child, aren’t you,” she teased. “Bobby sunbaenim even called me over during my break from practice since he needed help handling you, you know.”
“Is that why you’re sweating or is it because of me?” he asked, cheekily smiling before he bursted into giggles when Jiyu playfully punched his shoulder.
“Just be nice, okay?” she asked, pulling out her cute voice (one that she uses once in a blue moon), and looking up at him with her own puppy eyes. “I thought these,” she held up her wrist that was adorned with the matching white obsidian bracelet that she had bought for his birthday a few days ago, “made it clear that I was with you.”
Seeing him waver, she internally smirked at her success. According to Eric, her cute acts had always been Sunwoo’s weakness ever since their first encounter. She decided to try it out, and lo and behold, it worked.
“I’ll try, but no promises,” he childishly grumbled, looking away from her and pouting his lips. 
A bright idea passed her mind. Rising onto her tip toes, she leaned in towards his ear. “Think about it this way,” she whispered, sending a shiver down Sunwoo’s spine, “we had our first kiss thanks to him.”
Pulling away from his ear, she placed a quick peck on his lips before innocently smiling up to him as if she didn’t just leave the poor boy a flustered mess in the middle of the building, in public.
Reaching up to pat his head, she held onto his hand before dragging him back to their two sunbaes, who had whipped their heads away so fast the moment they saw her about to kiss Sunwoo.
Catching sight of Jiyu’s innocent smile in contrast with the boy’s reddened cheeks and how he shyly scratched the back of his neck, they figured it was best to not know what she whispered to him. 
But at the same time of being left in the dark, it was sort of scary how she made Sunwoo, who’s usually the one doing the teasing, turn into a blushing middle school boy.
“Is everything okay now?” Bobby asked, laughing at Sunwoo’s change of attitude. 
Jiyu nodded with a little mhm. “Sorry you had to call me over, sunbae.”
Bobby waved his hands in front of him defensively. “No, no. I should be sorry I pulled you away from practice,” he grinned. “And that you’re helping your rivals, no less.”
Jiyu laughed before nudging Sunwoo back to the group. “Then as a thank you, can I get a sneak peek of the rap team?” she joked. 
Now it was Bobby’s turn to erupt into laughter before pointing to their new matching white shoes. “There’s your little hint,” he said with a toothy and boyish smile. “But how long is your break?”
Looking at her phone, she saw a text from Seonghwa letting her know she had fifteen minutes left before they started practicing again. “I actually have to go now.”
Much to Bobby and Hwiyoung’s amusement and adoration, Sunwoo waddled back over to Jiyu and gave her a hug goodbye. “Bye lovebug,” he whispered in her ear like how she did to him earlier, chuckling when he felt her slightly tense from his breath in her ear. 
Payback.
“Hm, bye, sunshine.” she said, but he didn’t miss the light pink hues on her cheeks. Smirking, he let her go. She politely bowed to Bobby and Hwiyoung while saying her goodbyes. 
“Wait,” Hwiyoung called out to her before she walked past him. “I’m really sorry about today—”
“It’s alright, really!” she cut him off with a smile, watching Bobby take Sunwoo back to the snack shop to get him an ice cream, “But he really doesn’t dislike you deep down.”
“I hope that’s the case. He looked ready to bite me,” he admitted, sending Jiyu into giggles at his choice of words. 
“Let me know if that ever happens,” she said, patting him on the shoulder before walking away. “I really need to go now before Seonghwa starts nagging. Bye, sunbae, and I wish you all good luck because we Mayfly are aiming to win!”
And with that adorably bold comment, she quickly scurried out of the building and back to the van. 
Bobby stared at the door, surprised at her declaration, before flicking his eyes to the boy next to him, who had an adoring smirk on his face. Snorting, he gently jostled Sunwoo on the shoulder. “She really has you wrapped around her finger, doesn’t she?”
Sunwoo looked away, embarrassed at being caught before scuttling away from the iKON member. (But he didn’t know he had her wrapped around his finger as well...)
Bobby felt his phone vibrate and fished it out of his pocket. He almost choked on his saliva from the message. 
[ateez’s jiyu] sunbae! i forgot to tell you, but i also wish you luck in being peacemaker should the time ever come!
[ikon’s bobby] what? h-how am i supposed to calm him down?! i can’t kiss him!
[ateez’s jiyu] i believe you’ll find another way, sunbae! fighting! ☆ ~('▽^人) “She put too much faith in me...” came his defeated sigh.

No Pressure
STRAY KIDS Extra Member AU
Summary: Ollie is competitive by nature, and it shows during the vault jumping on Kingdom’s Sports Day.
Warnings: swearing
Taglist: @hyunmijung @galacticstxrdust @boss-baby-jongho @kimonmars @mythicalamphitrite @poutypoutybin @sunflower-0180​
Let me know if you’d like to be added or removed from a taglist.
A/N: I don’t know the exact rules to vault jumping, but let’s pretend like this is totally possible. Also for my story, the third round will have 3 teams; Ateez x Stray Kids x Btob, SF9 x iKon x The Boyz, and then my girls will be their own team. While the first two teams (The original teams) will break up into rap, vocal, and dance, my girls will be just one team/group. Hope this makes sense.
Requests are closed. Please like, leave a comment, or send in an ask. Doing any of these things is one more reason for me to keep writing.
Tumblr media
Excitement coursed through Ollie’s veins as she watched each group have their go at the vault jump. She had cheered on her members, along with the opposing teams, but where she did her hardest cheering was for her girls.
Seeing as everyone was split up by the teams for the third round, Ollie was teamed up with the girls in Kingdom.
She was excited to hear that they were splitting up into teams, three groups in each, then to have subgroups for each position; rap, vocal, and dance. But where she was the most ecstatic, was when Changmin announced a third team.
Apparently fans didn’t just want to see the vocals working together, or the rappers, or the dancers. They wanted to see the girls work together too. Meaning, Ollie was on a team with Miyoung, Bao, Yoori, and Sara, and were given free range on what performance they could do exactly.
Ollie had cracked up when Yoori blurted out (While the cameras were still rolling) that she finally got to be in a girl group. Then everyone joined in on the laughter when indignant squawks and protests came from Ateez.
Only downside to being on this team was the athleticism, or lack thereof. Ollie was the competitive type, so she had to bite her tongue when she saw that vaulting was their first event. Taking a look at the girls, she knew exactly how it was going to go.
Bao was the first one out, not at all to Ollie’s surprise.
The rapper stood at the start line and squinted at the vault, arms folded over her chest. She took one look at Ollie, then pinched the bridge of her nose.
“Sorry, shortstacks. I don’t do these kinds of things,” Bao said, looking at the dancer. She then turned to everyone else and took a slight bow. “That’s it for today. This has been Bao, ‘till now,” she smirked, holding up a V.
Ollie let out a long sigh as she watched Bao walk back over to the girls, clearly unbothered that she just lowered the chances of their team winning. “You were never gonna try, were you?” Ollie asked her.
“Nope. Now if it was baseball, then that would have been a different story,” Bao shrugged, then patted Ollie on the head, “Plus we have you. Other than Stray Kids and us, no one knows the power you hold.”
“No pressure,” Sara snorted, leaning her weight on one foot, hands in her pockets.
“You’re at least gonna try, right?” Ollie asked the youngest.
Sara shrugged. “I will. How far I get, depends on my energy today,” she said.
“Your energy’s never high,” Miyoung sighed, rubbing at her temples.
“There seems to be tension among the team,” Changbin spoke into the mic, earning chuckles from everyone.
Ollie turned to him, offering a fake smile. “Watch yourself, Changbin-ah.”
“Yes, Ma’am,” Changbin said quickly, placing his mic on the table. More laughter was heard.
Ollie turned back to her team. “Let’s at least try, okay?” she said, looking at the girls.
“I’ll try hard, Unnie. I just can’t promise too much,” Yoori pouted.
Ollie chuckled. “As long as you try that’s all that matters,” she patted Yoori’s head.
“Though if you could let your demon come out to help get you over 1.7 meters, then that’d be awesome,” Sara smiled, holding a thumbs up.
“I’m barely 1.5 though,” Yoori bite her lip.
“So are we,” Ollie pointed at herself and Miyoung.
“Unnie and I barely make it to 1.7, we’re all at a disadvantage,” Sara chuckled, signaling to Bao.
“At least it’s not as embarrassing as Jinhwan’s situation. The man refuses to jump,” Bao snorted.
“Bao, be nice,” Miyoung scolded.
“Okay, okay. Let’s just move on. Sara go,” Ollie said, pushing Sara towards the start line.
The younger shook out her limbs then yelled, “I’m going!” Sara then ran, jumped, and flew over the vault. When she landed, Ollie knew Sara was done.
“You’re done, aren’t you?” Ollie quirked a brow as Sara rolled off the mat.
The dancer sheepishly nodded, dragging her feet towards Bao. “This takes way more energy than you’d expect,” Sara said, pointing at the vault. Ollie rolled her eyes.
“Okay, my turn,” Ollie sighed. In less than a few minutes, Ollie had jumped over the vault with ease and joined the girls again.
When it was Miyoung’s turn everyone cheered, watching as she struggled a bit, but still managed to get over the vault. Yoori was a different story.
The poor girl jumped, and latched onto the vault when she saw herself flying towards it instead of over it. She then proceeded to giggle as she climbed up, letting out a victory scream at the top.
“And that’s our demon,” Wooyoung spoke into the mic, grimacing.
Sara and Miyoung didn’t make it past 1.8 meters, but Ollie wasn’t really surprised. She had mentally prepared herself for this. As the vault kept getting higher, so did her motivation, and her jumping.
Soon it was just Chan, Minhyuk, and Ollie. The vault stood at 2.4 meters, and Ollie knew that this would be the end. Either she’d make it here, or she’d make it here. Losing wasn’t in Ollie’s vocabulary when it came to sports.
Sadly, all three failed their first attempt. At the second attempt, Chan and Minhyuk failed again. Now it was Ollie’s last chance.
“Changbin? Tell me about Ollie’s athletic record, because seeing as she’s made it this far, she’s got to have a pretty impressive one,” Eunkwang asked.
“Well she’s our main dancer, of course. Back in school she did track and was the libero on her volleyball team,” Changbin began.
“Meaning the girl is fast and can jump,” Changmin chuckled.
“Exactly,” Changbin nodded with a proud smirk. “She’s also a gym shark, as you can tell by the biceps on display,” he motioned towards Ollie who had stripped down to her tank top as the event went on.
Ollie smirked, then proceeded to flex. “I also have better abs than Changbin could ever dream of having,” she shouted, sending a wink towards the rapper.
“This is true,” he nodded dejectedly, getting everyone to laugh.
“Well, then let’s see just how good she really is,” Changmin smiled.
Ollie nodded, fist pumping the air. She then took a deep breath, and readied herself. When the referee gave her the signal to go, she released her breath then began to run.
As she got closer to the springboard, Ollie realized that she wasn’t going to make it over, but that didn’t stop her. When she jumped, she knew she’d have to use up all of her upper body strength if she wanted to make it over. And she did, in the most Ollie way possible.
She placed her hands on either side of the vault, and sensing that her legs were too low, pushed herself up. Ollie when saw that she had used too much strength, she mentally cursed, but used the momentum to her advantage.
With the amount of strength she used to push, it sent her legs flying up and over her head, basically doing a back walkover. She flipped herself over the vault and landed on the mat on her side, rolling off of it due to the momentum. Ollie managed to stick her landing, surprising herself and everyone around her.
Slowly looking back up at the vault, Ollie gawked at what just happened. “What?”
“She’s just as surprised as we are,” Changmin said in awe.
When the referee gave his approval, everyone erupted into cheers. Ollie grinned wide as Chan ran to her, tackling her in a hug.
“How’d you manage that?!” Chan asked.
“Are you even human?” Minhyuk asked, eyes still wide in shock.
“Unnie! That’s my unnie!” Yoori cheered by the sidelines, standing on a chair. The other girls cheered as well, sending Ollie thumbs ups.
“Ollie, do you think you can make 2.5 m?” Eunkwang asked, almost hesitant. Everyone waited for her answer.
Ollie knew that that was a fluke. It was a fucking miracle. There was no way she’d make the next one. Someday, but definitely not today.
Smirking, she looked at the MCs. “The world may never know,” she made a big show of shrugging, then walked off towards her team.
“Well, now I’m curious,” Wooyoung whined.
“There’s no way she’s human. I need to make sure to never anger her,” Changbin stated in mock fear (Or maybe it was real?), then sent Ollie finger hearts as she walked by.
“See? I told you you’d win it for us,” Bao smirked from her seat as Ollie joined the girls.
Ollie pouted. “I just really wanted to see you jump, Bao.” Yoori giggled, nodding her head in agreement.
“Maybe someday. If the time’s right,” Bao shrugged.
“The heck does that mean?” Sara asked, leaning back in her chair, arms pulled into her hoodie.  She looked about ready to tap out.
“Whatever you want it to mean, kid,” Bao shrugged again.
“This is going to be quite an interesting team,” Miyoung sighed, blinking. Ollie chuckled, because, yes, this team is going to be chaotic. One of Ollie’s favorite things.

Hello!
This will be my official “introductory” post!
My real name is Erica, but I go by many names. My nickname repertoire includes but is not limited to: Lumi, Lumini, Cricket (I have a habit of rubbing my feet together, lmao), Jinx, Eri, Er, EriJoy, Sunbaeby, and Aceir (my real name but in alphabetical order).
This is my first ever Tumblr blog. I’ve had it for a while but have rarely posted anything, that along with the fact that I’m on mobile is kind of a mess so I apologize for mistakes and all that.
I have 3 older brothers, an older sister, and a younger brother.
I’m an ambivert. Sometimes I love hanging out with bigger groups of people, other times I dread it.
I’ve taken the “16personalities” test 4 times and all 4 put me in the “Diplomat” category, however I got “Advocate” (INFJ) 2 times, and “Protagonist” (ENFJ) and “Mediator” (INFP) 1 time each.
I am LGBTQ+. I’m asexual, aro+panromantic flux, and while I feel like I’m genderfluid, the changes are very subtle and so I sometimes just go with agender, gendervoid, or neutrois. It’s a lot less complicated that way. I’m ambiamorous, and also pronoun apathetic!
I love whump. I’ve loved it for as long as I can remember but only found the whump community maybe 3(?) years ago.
I also love K-Pop, C-Pop, J-Pop, and Asian dramas, mainly K-Pop and K-Dramas, though.
I’m a HUGE multistan. ATEEZ, SKZ, TBZ, EXO, BTS, Red Velvet, SHINee, iKON, MONSTA X, TWICE, TO1, WANNA ONE, SuperM, X1, MIRAE, Ciipher, Golden Child, Purple Kiss, BAE173, SF9, IU, ONEUS, ONEWE, The Rose, PIXY, LUCY, STAYC, WEi (which I pronounced as “way” for an embarrassingly long time), Dreamcatcher, Brave Girls, TXT, ENHYPEN, SNSD, KARD, AKMU, SHAUN, Gaho, NCT, GHOST9, 1team, SE7EN, Cross Gene, D1ce, AB6IX, CRAVITY, BLACKPINK, CIX, VIXX, f(x), 4Minute, CLC, YEZI, B.I, Wonho, (G)I-DLE, EVERGLOW, SEVENTEEN, BROOKLYN, Ha Hyunsang, DAY6, GOT7, Teen Top, BAP, TREASURE, UNIQ, etc! It goes on, far longer than I can list. I am also very much against fanwars, they disgust me.
I’m also a HUGE animal lover, and a big softie. I can’t even squish insects. I don’t care that they can’t feel pain and don’t experience emotions, I just can’t bring myself to. I make it my mission to save any type of animal I come across. I find toads in our koi pond and immediately pick them out and take them to a safe place. I help turtles across the road. I got a mouse out of a puddle and revived it, releasing it when it was healthy enough. I saw a snail on a piece of wood that was going to be thrown on a fire and carefully pulled it off and put it somewhere else. So far I’ve found 5 stray cats (Piper, Toothless, Felix, Kai, and Kit Kat—all were found as skinny, sickly kittens) and took them in, raising them as my own. I rescued a chipmunk from certain death-by-cat. I’ve even saved a few baby raccoons, ducklings, lizards, spiders, and snakes in my time. And I’ll keep doing so for as long as I live.
I love writing, drawing/sketching, and painting, however I’m not confident that I’m good at any of those things, lmao. I mean, I don’t think I’m the worst, but my finished “works” often leave me unsatisfied with my “skills”. But of course, that won’t stop me from trying to improve!
I’m a maladaptive daydreamer. This can cause issues in some places while helping me out in others. On one hand, it makes doing chores and such kind of difficult. Like one time I had to take care of my dad’s pigeons while he was fixing our shed and one time he pointed out how slow I was with the chores. His words were something along the lines of, “I’m already almost done with what I have to do and you’re still working with the pigeons.” Also, it (and maybe ADHD if I do have it?) made school a nightmare for me. But it’s also helpful because then during church it’s really easy to keep myself occupied while the pastors go on about their Magical Sky Daddy™’s son throwing a tantrum and killing a figtree because it didn’t have any figs and how that story should “challenge” us or something.
The characters in my daydreams are weird, though. They merge and separate with each other to make different characters depending on the situation. Most of them don’t have definite genders. Only a handful of them have names because they’re always merging and separating like some kind of Shadow Clone Masters or something. Stuff like that.
One of my characters is for sure a demi-boy, though, and his name is Kyler.
I brought this up because I was watching The Andy Griffith Show and Andy was giving Opie a lecture on how many poor kids there are in the world and used the ratio “one and a half boys per square mile”. Opie then says that he’s “never seen a half a boy before”. Kyler just sort of pops into (fake) existence, jumps off the couch, and throws his arms in the air while saying, “Half a boy, right here!” I burst out laughing. Thankfully it didn’t seem weird, since my parents started laughing at Opie and thought that I was just laughing at it, too.
Any-who.
If I daydream while I’m standing, I’ll often pace and gesture with my arms while moving my lips. Sometimes I’ll even whisper. If I’m sitting down, I usually fidget a lot (such as pick at my shirt and rub my feet together), stare into space, and move my lips or whisper. My family sometimes ask me, “Why are you whispering?” Or, “What are you grinning about?” And I just shrug because I don’t know how to explain it to them without risking them calling someone to pray over me, lmao. I mean, I wasn’t even allowed to have imaginary friends because that was “evil”. When I was about 7, I told my parents about my imaginary unicorn friend and they gave me a lecture and “prayed over me”. It was embarrassing and awkward for me.
I’m suspicious that I might have ADHD, but don’t have the money to actually get a professional diagnosis. I’m also too scared to ask my parents about it.
Speaking of which, my family and I don’t see eye-to-eye. I mean, they don’t know it because I’m good at hiding it, and they think I agree with mostly everything they do but boy, is it a mess.
You see, they’re evangelical conservative Christians. “LGBTQ+ people are going to hell”, “ThE LeFt ARe eViL AnD ARe TrYiNg To BrAiNwAsh OuR ChiLdrEn”, “Trump was sent by God”, “Intersex is fake”, “Women must submit to men”, “You should get married no later than in a year or ‘the temptation’ to have sex might become too much”, the whole bit.
Meanwhile I’m over here with my (imaginary) pride flags, just existing as an agnostic leftist who wants everyone to have equal rights, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation, and would rather redo my horrifically atrocious kindergarten closing program role than pray to a god who (if they/he/she/it/whatever exists) gives cancer to kids and killed millions of innocent animals and people in the Bible.
Tumblr media
But they have no idea that this is how I feel and now expect me to be baptized within the next month to show that I have “accepted Jesus Christ as my savior”. Yeah...that’s gonna be an awkward discussion...
Anyway, that’s just some things about me. Sorry that I got sidetracked a few times, lmao!
I look forward to posting more and maybe even making friends!
Thank you for reading (:

IKON TV Episode One: Behind The Scenes
Right now, you’re walking to the YG dorms to relax with your boyfriend and his group as it’s been a while since you last saw him due to all their growing success and long schedules. You brought along some jajangmyeon for everyone as you’ve been craving it recently and thought the boys would be hungry from today’s concert. You reach the dorm and Jinhwan lets you in as he takes the takeout from your hand and closes the door behind you.
He puts the food on the living room table and both of you sit down on the couch when he asks you, “how’ve you been y/n-ie?"
You smile cutely as you respond with, "I've been pretty good, school’s been such a pain but I’m pushing through it. Plus I've missed my favourite boys,” I say with a cheeky smile and a shove to Jinnie's shoulder. “How are you guys? Being global sensations and all” you asked while pushing his shoulder, teasing him.
He laughs at your statement and responds with “It’s good, seeing the fans, performing, being on stage but I do enjoy moments where we can sit back and look at how far we’ve come with all our hard work.” “I get that. We should probably eat before the food gets cold.”
With that, Jinhwan went to get the boys as you went to the bathroom to wash up to eat. When you get out Yunhyeong, Chanwoo, Jiwon and Hanbin are sitting on the couch. “Noona, I can’t believe you bought us food. Thanks. You’re so sweet to us,” Chanwoo says as you sit down next to Hanbin. “You don’t have to thank me, I just want to make sure you boys aren’t starving yourselves.”
“Our little maknae is so cute,” Bobby says as he pinches Chan’s check. “Yah, stop that. I’m not a child.”
Junhoe, Jinhwan and DK enter the living room as the rest of you guys remove the plastic off the food and start eating. “Y/N-ah, did you hear we’re self-producing our own tv show,” Jiwon asks. “Really, that sounds exciting. Kinda like Going Seventeen or Run BTS.
“Exactly like that but we get to film, choose our own activities and well you get to see my face so for that reason we’re better than all those other shows out there.
“What is it called?” You asked. “IKON TV,” Jiwon replies, “We’re actually starting filming today.”
You turn to Hanbin and hit him in the shoulder gently, of course, you can't bruise your baby. “Yah, Hanbin-ah how could you not tell me you were filming today?” “I don’t see the big deal. Besides I wanted to see you,” he says as he pulls you in for a sidearm hug and kisses you on the temple. You put your head on his shoulder in response, “look at Hanbin-ie, being so cute to his girlfriend.” “Are you trying to say I’m not always cute to my girlfriend? Who wouldn’t be? Look at this cute face,” Hanbin says as he squeezes your cheeks together making your lips pout. “Knock it off Hanbin-ah,” you say as you remove his hands from your face and cutely pout at him. The boys laugh and continue eating.
The sounds of slurping and swallowing are going through the room while you all idly chat about school, new songs, fan meets, anything under the sun really. Even though you’re dating Hanbin the rest of the boys are like your brothers and if you needed anything they would be there for you and vice versa.
“Wah, that was so good. It really hit the spot,” Yunhyeong says as he sits back in, “thanks Y/N.” “No problem guys, but as I said, I just want to make sure you’re all good.”
Eventually, you all go your separate ways in the dorm and you and B.I head to his room as he closes the door and he pulls you into his lap. He sits there with his hands wrapped along your waist as he admires you deeply. “I feel like I haven’t seen you in so long,” he says quietly just enough for you to hear but not for anyone else to. “I know. I miss my talented rapper-songwriter”
“I’m serious baby, I missed you. A lot.” It makes your stomach flutter to hear him be so honest but you know it’s true. Both of you have been extremely busy; you with your last semester of university and him with ikon so, you understand that being separate at moments of your relationship is required in both of your lives. “And I missed you too,” which of course is true but you know he wants to hear you say it, you know he's just insecure as this is his first real relationship so you make sure he knows you love and care for him.
He leans in as you meet him halfway in a short and sweet kiss, and another, and another before you stop him with, “as much as I love kissing you, don’t you have to film soon?” “Yea, but that can wait. I want more time with my girl,” he tries to kiss you once more but you pull away and place your finger on his lips. “Ah, ah, go film,” with that you get off his lap and force him to stand up but being a whiny little baby he jokes by saying, “yah, so you don’t love me anymore y/n-ie.” “Stop being an idiot Hanbin-ah.” You push him slightly towards the door and he shoots you finger hearts as he walks out.
You lay back on his bed for a few minutes until you decide you want the coolness of the ground so you roll off and lay on the floor as Hanbin walks back into his room to see you on the floor. “You do know there’s a camera up there,” he says as he points at the corner of his ceiling where a go-pro films you, more importantly, you decide to lay on a cold hard floor instead of a comfy bed. “How awkward,” and even though you said that it didn’t prompt you to leave the floor.
“Yeah, a bit of an invasion of privacy but we’ll make the most of it.” He proceeds to take off his shirt which confuses you, “I didn’t know you were into that stuff.” He looks down at you puzzled by your dirty mouth especially since you were being recorded. He nudges you sightly with his food and responds with, “it’s not like that, dirty girl I’m gonna work out, but you can help me if want.”
You sit up wondering how could you help him workout but if this means seeing him shirtless longer you didn’t really mind. He positions you perpendicular to the bed and lays you back down on the floor then, he positions himself to use the bed as support to do his pushups over you. “You’re my motivation so, you’re gonna lay there and look pretty, which you always are,” he gives you that cute smile you love, “and every time I come down you give me a kiss, okay?” Surprised by his boldness especially with the cameras here you still nod at his proposal.
He does about thirty pushups and for each one he gives you a sweet and short kiss that makes you want to kiss him more. Even though the cameras are recording this it still feels like you guys are in this little world that nothing and no one can penetrate. Being so busy with your own lives, these are the moments you cherish the most so when does the last pushup you give him an extra kiss and he blushes as he turns away from the camera and moves on to the pull-up bar. You sit up and lean against his bed as you admire his back muscles thinking about how your attractive boyfriend is reeling in all types of fans with the show he’s putting on. His workout continues for the next hour but you decide to take a shower and do your skincare since you leave some of your stuff at the dorm for when you stay over.
When you come back Hanbin is now lying on the floor tired, he then complains about being sweaty and gets up to take a shower while he brings his camera as well. Eventually, you hear the shower running which made think of giving ikonics a peek they would like so, you sneak into the bathroom, grab the camera Hanbin left on the counter and started recording yourself at first. You whisper into the camera, “hey ikonics, hope you’re in for a treat.” That’s when he heard you, “what are you doing in here baby?” You make sure to cover the bottom half of the camera so it doesn’t become that type of video and reply with, “I wanna give ikonics a present.” You flip the camera and blow a kiss at the camera then, flip it back towards Hanbin.
He tries to move around which could be problematic, “don’t move! Just say I love you, ikonics,” you prompt him. He puts his arms up into a heart and repeats what you said, “love you, ikonics,” he also draws a heart in the steamy glass door which makes you laugh. You flip the camera back on you and end the recording with, “love you ikonics, hoped you enjoy that scene.” You whisper the next part so Hanbin doesn’t hear, “I’ll try and film sneaky things like that when I can.” You stop the recording and left Hanbin to finish his shower and went to lay down in his bed.
A few moments later he comes back and quickly gets dressed in boxers and sweats so, he can lay down in the bed with you. He wraps his body around you by putting his arms and legs around your torso and shoulders. He kisses you on the temple then asks you, “are you okay?” You turn to him confused why he’d asked that. “Why wouldn’t I be, are you okay?”
“Yea I just wanted to make sure you weren’t uncomfortable with all the cameras and stuff invading our space.” Look at your baby being so cute and considerate, damn you love him to bits but, you do understand why he’d ask that. If you were with someone else you wouldn’t know if they’d stay in such an invasive environment but you love Hanbin, Ikon and all their fans so you wouldn’t change your life one bit.
You squish his face and tell him, “I wouldn’t change this for anything because all of this comes with being with you and I love being with you so yea, I’m good.” You gently brush your lips against his and give him a gentle kiss. He then unwraps his body from yours to grab the television remote from the bedside table and turn on Netflix. “So Sisyphus or Men on a Mission?” Not even a second was needed to think about this simple decision which is, “Men on a Mission, obviously.” He smiles at you as he starts the show and pulls you back into his chest where you snuggle yourself into and eventually both of you fall asleep to the sounds of laughter.

My Ranking of Songs From B.I's COSMOS
Tumblr media
7. Buddy Buddy
Hanbin really is the king of friendzone songs isn't he😭Despite the bittersweet lyrics, this song is actually quite cute, in the way Remember Me (from Waterfall) is – the melody feels very playful but the meaning of the song is really sad and deep. The chorus is scarily catchy (in the same way Remember Me is too). While this song is my least favorite on the album, I still really enjoy it.
6. Flame
Lyrically, this song is superior – then again, what B.I song isn't? I love the video too (the choreo was executed beautifully as always) and all the references to his real life. The blurring and face covering was such a MC moment. I'm terrible at distinguishing instrumentals but whatever that buzzing-like sound was gave such flavor to the track. Tbh, it's not a song I listen to very often, but I appreciate its significance and the quality is still there, it's just not my usual vibe.
5. Alive
Again, the lyrics are amazing on this track – definitely gave me WATERFALL vibes. I loved the musicality of this song though; the chorus is so catchy and I love the instrumentals too. The rap is so good too, so pleasing to the ear – not just because it was delivered in B.I's beautiful voice but the rhythm was perfect too.
4. NERD (feat. Colde)
Soooo many things to say about this track! While there are some similarities, I think there is a pretty clear distinction musically between B.I and iKON songs. But this song felt like a good mix of both. I think many songs with the B.I touch in general radiate a sense of warmth and comfort – this one definitely does. I love how it's musically a calm and mellow song and the rap and vocals match that vibe. Also, I discovered Colde through this song! I've never heard him sing before but I love his voice! It's just so smooth but it has great texture to it and it complemented Hanbin's excellently.
3. Lover
"Fun" is such a boring word, but I can't think of a better one to describe this song. One of my favorite things about songs with B.I is his ad-libs and the way he plays with lyrical and vocal execution (i.e. iKON's Bling Bling [bling bling!], Lee Hi's No One [ttokttok nan yeogi isso], B.I's Remember Me [brrrr]). I love that "shot me down bang bang [bang bang!]". It's adorable and such a satisfying ad-lib. Honestly, his voice during this whole song is so audibly aesthetic – when he rapped, every word bled and blended into each other in such a beautiful way. Also I just love B.I love songs lyrically.
2. COSMOS
Honestly, this song made me so nervous – I mean, like prior to hearing it. illa illa is such an amazing song – musically, lyrically, and production-wise; it's one of my favorite songs in general and I truly believe it's one of the best songs of all time. So I was a bit nervous as to how B.I could step up his game for his comeback when the last one was so no pun intended iconic. But my doubts were useless! Never doubt Kim Hanbin – that's a valuable lesson I learned. I've ben tying Hanbin to sad and angsty songs so much that I forgot that he's just as capable of writing blissfully happy ones. This song really was such a good choice for the title track of this comeback. After all the angst and struggle and sad times, a lighthearted, happy, whimsical song like this is exactly what ID needed. This is one of those songs that gives you serotonin through your earbuds. I dare you to be sad after listening to this song – actually, you will be, because it's over. Like, whoever this song is written for has got to be the absolute luckiest most loved human being in the world...or shall I say cosmos. From the cheerful melody to the sweet lyrics, the whole song radiates happiness and love in the air.
1. NINETEEN
THIS. Just THIS. If COSMOS gave me happiness, NINETEEN gave me something I could relate to. THIS is my illa illa. I deeply feel for Hanbin seeing these lyrics and what meaning they hold for him, but I also empathized with a lot of them too. One of Hanbin's greatest writing talents is being able to so vividly paint a picture of a certain emotion and make you feel it, and he's done it here. He's so accurately portrayed the struggles of youth and not wanting to mature knowing that adulthood only brings more struggles. And if the lyrics and meaning behind the song weren't enough, musically it's spectacular. I love that (what I think is) electric guitar intro and the almost early 2000s punk-rock vibe to the song, the strong heavy beat, and THAT CHORUS?? AMUGEOTDO CHAEGIMJIGO SIPJI ANA!! PLEASE!! I cannot think of many songs with a hard-hitting chorus like that that make me want to scream the lyrics out and headbang this bad. This song is utter perfection and will not be getting over it for a very long time.

episode 9 baby!!! dear lord that was a lot!!
frankly, i'm still in shock that i full on manifested an opera stage, AND it was a rock opera stage at that! plus i got a jazz stage AND a taemin stage??? if they’re pulling out all my favourites now then what on earth are they gonna do in the finale??? this was a very overwhelming crop of stages, i thought i was going to be prepared, but oh no i was not prepared. i'm just going to get right into it because this one is gonna be long and i have many words. i'll discuss in airing order first, and then put my personal rankings for this round at the end.
btob
costume
changsub, you absolute king. spectacular. stunning. incredible. zoot suit riot playing in my brain on repeat. will i finally get the zoot suit revival of my fucking dreams instead of this current drab ill-fitting suit trend? for those who are wondering why in the fuck changsub is dressed like that and what on earth i’m talking about, the specific cut of suit that he’s wearing is called a zoot suit, which were popular in mexican, black and italian american communities in the 30s and 40s, until they were outlawed by the united states war production board as a fabric rationing method as part of the war effort in 1942. there was a huge amount of mob violence surrrounding the wearing of them (there were actual zoot suit riots) as they were direct counter culture fashion to the predominant drab trends of white americans at the time. i'm actually very impressed they got a proper (modernized) cut of zoot suit instead of just putting him in an oversized one; there are actually specific structural differences. the pegged trouser legs, large should pads, and knee length single breasted jacket are key features, and they were often in much more flashy fabrics than a pinstripe, but they get points for effort. i wish they had put all of them in zoot suits but he’s playing the ‘lead’ actor so i will begrudgingly forgive them.
eunkwang those are the stupidest sleeve garters ive ever seen i love them never take them off. they’re like someone decided to repurpose a suspender in the worst way. excellent. i do love that they’ve got three of them in oxford saddle shoes, another great touch.
love the three piece and the fedora* on peniel. it's also in a relatively close period cut; waistcoasts (vests) were generally cut much higher in the neck pre-war, we only start seeing the neckline slide down in the 60s (i think? i don’t remember when exactly). also love to see a proper sleeve and jacket length, it's good practice to have at least a finger’s width of sleeve cuff visible ahead of the jacket sleeve when hanging at rest. also looks like there’s french cuffs on everyone, which is also great.
minhyuk in his slutty lowneck shirt....thank you. in addition to the zoot suit revival i would also like a revival of those ultra low necklines on mens’ shirts from like 2010-2011. i don’t think those are the same boots from the backdoor stage but those are some beautifully cut boots. i also loved the little details of his crewmember look, especially the chunky watch and the string bracelets; those are super realistic, i know so many crew with them and i had several for many years. and who doesn’t love a visible button fly?
none of any of the other costumes are period in any way shape or form but i’m forgiving it because there’s several layers of meta in this stage, and they explicitly based it on la la land, even though we don’t respect la la land in this house. do i wish they had gone more strictly period with at least the jazz club ‘actors’ a little more? absolutely, but i'm not mad about it.
set
again we’ve got a good delineation of the two different ‘stages,’ there’s the club itself in the smaller stage and the soundstage set in the larger space. you can pretty clearly see all the ‘pieces’ of the set on the soundstage, especially the obvious set painting techniques on false prosc frame and the window facade from that first little scene. also the you can see the castors (wheels) on all the setpieces too, which is another nice little versimilitudinous** (triple word score!) touch, as old hollywood movies were made still using theatre stagecraft techniques.
i love how the visual shorthand for ‘this is a set wink wonk’ is just...leaving a ladder on stage. i see it all the time and it's so funny. it doesn’t always make sense because as soon as there’s actors on set the ladders are the first thing cleared because actors cannot be trusted, but yes there are always ladders, so. also psa ladder safety is no joke, please be careful on ladders.
nice streamline of the mnet deco into the club. i’m consistently surprised at how well the designers have been able to mask it or use it to their advantage, because in the normal kingdom stage lighting it is SO obvious and stylistic that it always sticks out.
i'm going to ignore the fact that they implied changsub and miyeon were drinking wine out of martini glasses.
lighting
no complaints, it does its job. everything is visible and super clear. love that the ‘scene’ changes are made through the lighting, it's a really simple and effective device to change atmosphere. purple/blue/amber are the most flattering colours on human skin and that’s why you see it so commonly in stage lighting. also blue/lavendar is the best way to show nighttime/moonlight.
really nice and subtle projection work, especially with the billboard bit and the blue moon sign in the club. despite being obviously meta/’world breaking’ it’s actually very seamless and fits well into the flow of the stage.
sound
i love love love the big band feel in the intro, combined with the piano lead. very duke ellington, as all things should be.
no complaints. i love big band. i love eunkwang’s voice. i have nothing else to say.
staging
i LOVE this movie within a movie within a performance meta nonsense! it's such a fun concept and it is exactly what i wanted ikon’s first round stage to be! i also love to see btob consistently coming up with concepts that are inventive and fun and allow them to showcase their technical performance skills without the aerobics the younger groups are putting themselves through. it provides a really lovely variety and it just goes to show that you can make impressive, dramatic stages without having to be serious or ‘dark.’
i do wish they had leaned into the band director/lead singer with eunkwang a bit more; this could have been a really excellent place for a tap number a la the nicholas brothers or an homage to cab calloway. i know i know this was meant to be la la land themed but la la land is a cheap and whitewashed version of jazz and look me right in the eyes and tell me this isn’t the greatest tap routine of all time. i know i’ve typed this out somewhere before but la la land is just a conglomeration of old hollywood tropes and so stylistically cheap that this would have such a better visual core if they had actually looked back at the real old hollywood musicals like stormy weather. even singing in the rain and an american in paris have such phenomenal visuals and are really beautiful examples of the scope you can pull off with a limited technical capacity and sticking to these old techniques.
now that i'm thinking about it, oh my GOD i would DIE for a lindy hop routine in kpop PLEASE. i know it would never happen because kpop doesn’t like partner dancing and not a single kpop boy has the chops but oh you think fourth gen has too many acrobatics?
this got off track but i think you see my point.
---
ateez
costume
these are really sharply cut suits. and the detail work on the beading??? so beautiful. i'm disappointed that they gave me a rock opera stage without the true ridiculousness of rock opera costuming, because they could have pushed this a lot farther if they really wanted. a tragic lack of gay little outfits, seonghwa’s lace choker is just not enough! two favourite suits: hongjoong’s and yunho’s.
that being said i do actually really like these. this stage is actually very modern opera with a kpop twist and i'm a little surprised by that? i continue to be impressed by the ateez team who are clearly doing their research.
i'm absolutely not going back through their stages to check all the choreography but i wonder if you can track all the ‘wound’ placements to places they’ve been ‘hit.’ i wouldn’t put it past them to have put that thought in but also i’m not expecting that much either.
who is this white grim reaper bdsm executioner chain arm man. where did he come from. i have no idea and i love it.
why is honjoong blindfolded. it was such a fast beat, if youre gonna blindfold someone give it a little longer and some more obvious narrative weight!
seonghwa does that quickchange, runs across that massive stage to the smaller set, and gets into places in like 45 seconds. it's not the hardest quickchange in the world but still, under a minute is fast for any quickchange, especially when there’s travel time involved. i think the fastest, most complex quickchange i ever did was in university which was a 50s cocktail dress into a flannel and culottes with a shoe, hair, and jewelry change in 35 seconds. and that took three dressers. quickchanges are always impressive. the added bonus of this review being later is that i can specifically reference that you can see him book it the fuck off stage in the full cam!
cute moment with the backup dancers dressed in costumes from the previous stages. i'm assuming this is a time travel reference? i'll get more into my thoughts on this in the staging section. regardless, love to see that iconic seonghwa moment again.
set
this is such a restricted space! they really pared down their dancing space with those staircases and ....arms? honestly i have NO clue what these are supposed to be. the only thing i can maybe think of is flying buttresses??? but why?? i mean, i'm 90% sure theyre just there for drama and i agree but i do still have questions.
there’s a lot of moving parts in this set? the buttresses, and the upstage centre staircase. i don’t think the staircase is totally automated because i spotted some dancers securing it in place, but it’s still a moving part. i do really like that we get that expanding upwards energy, because it's really tough to get functional level movement in this kind of a performance, mostly because of its length and because it moves so quickly. so seeing the downward vertical movement and then the upward movement was actually a really nice visual contrast that made use of how tall those fucking ceilings are, and the fact that they had less horizontal space. in sort of similar way to sf9’s jealousy stage, using long, narrow vertical lines really makes it feel like a castle space. the interiors of castles, especially the really old ones, are a lot smaller than you think they would be.
i’ve actually seen that type of small house/tent/thing several times in various types of performances before, but i think this is the first time i’ve seen it used as a time travel device (other than in the say my name mv). aesthetically it's a bit incongruent but i dont really mind because i'm used to watching rock operas that look a lot weirder than this.
lighting
there is so much happening. i have NO clue what the projections are doing. i dont hate it though, so that’s a plus? there’s a clear-ish colour arc even if it does get a bit funky in the middle, which is why the projections dont feel as insanely distracting as some of the other stages we’ve seen.
the climax is a perfect example of how to light a busy stage with primarily red but still maintain clarity on the performers. a little bit of red goes a long way; the spark stage from last week would have looked so much better if they had done what the ateez designers did here.
sound
i know it's only ode to joy, but answer already gets my motor running and then i get so gassed by the guitars and then by the time those vocals come in i'm inconsolable. i don’t know why i wasn’t expecting a rock opera stage but i'm so glad i got that surprise because i genuinely love rock operas so much. it's two of the most dramatic genres in music, what more could you possibly want?
staging
the choreo for answer is so goofy that I'm kinda glad this was mostly terrible mnet boom shots. i love it, but you can't deny that it's goofy. i spotted a couple of moves from their other choreos as well?
choreographing dance fights is just as difficult as choreographing real fights and i think they did a fairly good job here. i think it was a solid mix of dance and conflict that erred on the side of dramatic rather than accurate and i prefer that over trying to be ‘realistic.’ i’ve only ever seen one truly realistic fight scene on stage and that was for a deeply naturalist play (boring and a waste of the medium), but the best fight scene i’ve ever seen was in the prague national ballet’s adaptation of kafka’s the trial where three ballet dancers beat the absolute snot out of the main character with the most beautiful leg extensions. that whole show was probably one of the best pieces of dance i’ve ever seen, holy fuck it was so good.
despite how insane the music and the visuals were going, i actually really liked how sedate this was, on the part of ateez’s performance. there was a really sophisticated and resigned energy from them that is very different from what we’ve previously seen and i think that was a pretty admirable risk to take. reaching the top and then throwing away the crown? especially in a competition where every other stage has involved stealing crowns or royalty and there’s a group competing that got here through that very concept? that shows a real maturity, peace of mind, and foresight that i did not at all expect from a bunch of 22 year olds.
here we come to a very interesting comparison. both ateez and tbz are very heavily leaning on previously established group lore. we all know my thoughts on why it isn’t working for tbz, but here’s why i think it is working for ateez: it's because it doesn’t matter to the audience’s understanding of the stage. i had absolutely no fucking clue what was going on the first time i watched this, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the music and all the weird shit they were doing. i totally believed that they understood what was going on. there’s a loose enough established conflict right at the beginning that draws us in, and really it doesn’t matter who they're fighting because they win in the end. the key here is that they’re so earnest. they believe 100% in every move they make on that stage. there’s no winks to camera, there’s not a drop of irony. they really deeply care about the ridiculousness of it all and that’s what makes it work. i sure as fuck dont know what’s going on, but i can see that they do, and i trust that. this is what i meant when i talked about convincing the audience you belong on stage in my stage presence post. i’ve never once believed that juyeon was anything other than an idol. he’s talented and very beautiful and he may occasionally stand on that stage like he owns it but it's always as juyeon. as an idol. but when hongjoong flaps around in that gigantic fur coat i 100% believe he’s a pirate captain. I believe he’s a punk rebel leader. i believe him a resigned king. there’s always a level of irony you have to fight as a performer because we all start from a place of disbelief. acting is not just lying to the audience, it's lying to yourself too. and if you succeed in convincing yourself? well, you’re already halfway to convincing us.
i checked it out because i wanted to see if they did the blindfold how i expected them to and was genuinely surprised by hongjoong’s fancam. the boy is EMOTING even when he knew the camera wasn’t on him; that’s a real dedication to craft.
ok i'm finished talking about this stage, this is over two pages in my document, there’s so many things i have not covered here but that’s fine, i'm quite sure any further thoughts will end up out there at some point.
---
sf9
costume
let’s get it out of the way......crop top. crop top? crop top. crop top.
ok, besides the crop top, i think i might actually like the backup dancer outfits more...? i find mannequin adjacent looks really fascinating and i thought there was a lot more they could have done here in connecting the two thematically. i actually think a change of costume on the boys would have been very interesting, especially because there was a lot of inference and direct reference to changes of colour.
ALL the backup dancers are wearing the same wig and i LOVE that.
special mention zuho’s.....jacket? the right idea but it absolutely should have been one of those extreme french cut bodysuits, you COWARDS. don’t come at me with this ‘male version of venus’ if you don’t have your whole torso out! come on!
set
not sure if this is meant to be a department store, a factory, or a white cube gallery. honestly you could make the case that they’re all the same place anyways. more on this later.
i loved the movator and wish they had used it more! that sequence was so good and they could have done some more interesting repetition sequences to further highlight the ‘sameness’/the breaking of that sameness.
i feel like the set could have been used more as a whole? i would have loved to see some mannequin interactions with those boxes, because all they did was dump colour everywhere.
....why did they feel the need to include the rain bit? i know it's likely because it's in the mv and at the 2018 dream concert taemin does perform move in the rain, but with the standing still and the box walls with the words it just looks like a department store ad. which i...dont think is what they were intending?
lighting
nothing really to say here. it has a similar feel to the mayfly rap stage, which is fine because the lighting for that was good. i could tell what was going on all the time and that’s the most important part. notable standouts are the lips sequence, that's fun use of pop iconography and very effective, and the scanning lasers at the beginning.
the repeating sequence in the edm dance break is actually done pretty simply, it's just what happens when you point a camera that’s livestreaming to a monitor directly at that monitor. it's a very cool effect and it was neat to see it used intentionally, especially with the handheld leds.
actually i also really liked the lightbox tables, those were cool.
sound
the remix was fine for the most part, it was about what i expected it to sound like. i did however greatly dislike that unnecessary edm break in the middle. what was the point of that? it didn’t add anything to the overall sound or arc of the stage because it was SO out of place. there was no connective tissue around it.
oh i was also not a fan of the effect on zuho’s mic. no one else had a discernible vocal effect so it felt a little out of place. also for some reason his cadence and tone right at the end made me think of some of the voices that bo burnam uses for his vocal masque sketches/songs, especially repeat stuff, weirdly? took me right the fuck out of it. i listened to it again after i slept and i’m still getting it, so maybe i’m just going insane so best ignore this part.
staging
loved the mannequin tree, not a clue why it was there.
do actually think this is a successful cover because it does what i was hoping it would, which is take move completely out of the taemin context and put it into an entirely new one. however, i’m really struggling to figure out what exactly that new context is? and what theyre trying to say with it?
obviously they went for a ‘show your own colours/individuality’ vibe, like i said in the set section, where exactly is this supposed to be? from the start i get factory/mechanized environment, which is fine and grand because mannequins and making repetitive motions and products and all that, makes sense. but then there’s stacked shelving type units happening and curtains and that combined with the mannequins give me pretty big department store vibes, which is also fine, because that’s still a comment on commercialization and the mass production of product. but then we get to the movator and the repetitive movements of the dancers say pretty clearly factory, but the lighting and projections are very pop art referential, plus combining that with the white set, just makes me think of an art gallery. so now is this a comment on the commercialization and commidification of contemporary art? are they making a statement about being ‘real’ artists among the others who have lost the critical understanding of why pop art was even a thing in the first place? and then the rain bit at the end literally looks like a department store ad, so are they then making another statement that they still are that packaged product? maybe the episode has more clarity in it but i’m genuinely a bit baffled by what the underlying statement is here.
i suspect it is not as deep as i'm making it, but i did say that i was likely to be hyper critical of this stage AND i am a grad student, so here we are.
---
tbz
costume
ok of all the ‘fourth gen’ style costumes we’ve seen, i actually like these ones more than most. i'm not entirely clear on the theme but i'm assuming it's meant to be post apocalyptic, and i'll take that.
backup dancers in black!!! we’re beyond this!!!
this will be a running theme with this stage, but i’m disappointed these don’t have more depth.
set
compared to every other stage, the set here seems especially plain. there’s so little set dec that it's disappointing. i do like the movement of the pieces themselves combined with the blocking; that first slide underneath the arches was slick and i would have liked to have seen more of that.
yea ok the big snake was cool and also a fairly complex build, but the transitions around it were a bit awkward for my tastes. especially the turn around, why did they even show that at all? you have control over what the audience sees, you can totally not show scenic transitions. skz were super smart about hiding theirs in last week’s episode.
also if you have a bigass puppet like that, i wanna see some more movement from it! it doesn’t have to be complex, we literally just saw a kraken balloon arm wave around aimlessly, but at least there was movement! that snake had a long ass body, why didn’t they at least take a pseudo dragon dance movement with it, that would have been such fun to watch with the iridescent scales. there was a lot of opportunity here!
lighting
i don’t hate it but also.... not a lot to say about it on the whole.
there were two really smart ideas here, the first being the front projection section, which i was SO glad to see! i explained in a previous review, but the projections in kingdom are not actually projections per se, because they’re actually massive led screens. there are two common types of projections in performance, rear projection and front projection. rear projection is when the projector is behind the screen, and front projection is ‘normal’ projection. rear projection can produce a crisper image because you have full control of the light values, because the projector is in a separate room from the performance space. but the downsides are that the projector has to be in a separate room from the performance space. so if you’re short on real estate, it's not ideal. front projection is much more common, because the tech is a lot cheaper and easier to access, especially now, and it requires less real estate because you can ceiling mount about the audience (you can move a projector wherever, this is just the most common spot in commercial theatres). but! in order to get an actually crisp image, you have to be really careful with your light bounce. it’s exactly the same principle as how you kinda can't see a projected screen when you have all the lights turned on, but when you turn them off it's a lot clearer. front projection works best in pitch dark, so when you use it in a theatre you gotta be smart about it. i use front projection a lot in my personal art practice as a singular light source, and that’s what tbz did here in that traveling/snake intro sequence. it’s a really fun technique that they used as a good gimmick because it’s not something we’ve seen before, and you get some great shadow effects because the projector is throwing light directionally at the performers (they have it set up close to the floor, it’s probably on a wheeled cart of some kind). however i did not like the snake intro. a bit too cheesy and out of place, especially because the asset quality didn’t match the rest of landscapes that we have been seeing.
the second smart idea, which is partially also a set and blocking thing but whatever, was that final image of the eclipse within the circle architecture with all the members standing in front of it. it was a great shot and a great ending pose, but it felt like a concept photo. like someone had that image as the idea that they then built the stage around, instead of a narrative first and then imagery after.
sound
this remix had SO much promise! those first two minutes were SO GOOD. i love that dirty discordant strings bit, it's gross and right up my alley. but it really fell off in the back half and i'm sad about that.
staging
i'm sorry tbz but.....what did you actually do differently than exo here? with the exception of the continual game of thrones references? nothing here felt transcendentally different from the original monster. and especially coming RIGHT after sf9’s move, which did go beyond its original context. this feels more like an awards show stage cover than a stage at the level of the others we’ve seen just this episode.
again like with the skz stage, there’s no conflict here. no tension. yes they do a great job covering the dance but it just isn’t enough! this is obviously personal preference and i'm sure lots of people liked the fact that it was uncomplicated, but even just a hint of narrative tension could have pushed this into more engaging territory. and if they didn’t want to do that, i would have loved to see them make up for that with extra visual spectacle. this is the no limits round! ikon is putting a full jungle on stage and these are grey cubes!
i think this is a perfect example of what i talked about at the end of my tbz section in my episode four review; this is a good performance, there are good elements at play and good ideas at their genesis, but the core of the issue is that nothing about this is transformative. all of the ideas here are just exaggerations of the original song. fuck, the snake was even IN the mv! and they didn’t even include the best part which is the lip chains! ive said before and i'll say it again; being a good artist has two steps, the first is understanding the material and its context, and the second is elevating the material from that context and synthesizing something new. tbz are really good at the first step, but terrible at the second.
---
ranking
btob - the cleanest and the most fun of the round. everything i wanted.
sf9 - fun and a good cover, despite being conceptually baffling.
ateez - very extra dramatic nonsense with an unexpected dose of sincerity. and it’s rock opera, of course i love it.
skz - fun, with some good thematic devices but generally lacking in arc. also australian accents, that’s an automatic ding.
tbz - honestly the first two minutes of the remix and the costume are holding this above 6th. it just wasn’t fully formed.
ikon - aesthetically this is a great set design and although i do love the opening and closing moments, everything else scrapes me the wrong way. super personal preference here, i’m not expecting anyone else to agree with me.
i feel like my rankings were probably pretty easy to guess if you’ve been around reading the reviews for long enough. i do have very specific tastes after all. i know sf9 ranked first in the episode but i have no idea what the other slots are. i’ll find out when i watch the episode in a couple of days, but i think yea a first for sf9 is fair. i do think its mostly because it’s a taemin song and you have to do something horrendous in order to fuck up a taemin song, but there is a lot of thought and work that went into that stage.
ok i'm done now, sorry this was later than usual, but i was busier and there were four stages that i had to review. also technical difficulties because tumblr is a garbage platform and nothing works properly. comments/questions/opinions always welcome, i know i didn't expand on a couple of points that i could have so hopefully y'all have some thoughts too!
* the type of hat that ~society~ has told you is a fedora is actually a trilby. what peniel is wearing is a real fedora, i felt the need to correct this unjust hat malignment.
** meaning ‘the appearance of being true or real.’ you do sometimes hear it used by normal people, but it’s more commonly used as a descriptor in film and theatre. it’s also one of the five rules of neoclassical theatre, which are: versimilitude, purity of form, five act structure, decorum, and purpose. the most prominent playwrights from that era are moliere and racine if youre interested in what those look like in an actual text.

AU! IkeRev Suitors in a KPOP Group! HCS
Because while I was making the Just Do It Lyric video if Blanc, Oliver and Kyle were to sing it had me thinking if they were part of a subunit, what the actual group would be like... 
(I wanted to do a super group and have all of the suitors in one big group but it was too much to try and make facts for all of them so I handpicked my own suitors I would put in a group together. They are listed in order of oldest to youngest for this AU)
Tumblr media
Stage name: Lance Real name: Lancelot Kingsley Position: Leader, Lead Rapper, Sub Vocalist, Producer Nationality: Korean-Taiwanese
Has trained the longest out of the everyone in the group with 6 years
Has also known Harr the longest amongst the members
Although he is half Taiwanese he only speaks Korean
Is known for his amazing charisma on stage, however off stage he is very quiet and actually very clumsy. One time after their comeback stage as they were exiting he walked into one of the floating cameras
In a Dingo interview when asked who was the most troublesome member he said Oliver. "Mmm... He might be the most troublesome but... He takes care of the other members well."
He produces the group's songs, and often co-writes music with Harr
He is very shy with people he doesn't know very well
He gets very competitive when they play games, and if they can choose partners he will normally choose Jonah who is just as competitive, so that he can win
All the members agree that he is the best listener and they can go to him if they have any problems
He is good friends with Bang Chan from Stray Kids
Currently shares a dorm with Fenrir and Jonah
Tumblr media
Stage name: Blanc Real name: Blanc Lapin Position: Lead Rapper, Lead Vocalist Nationality: Chinese
He is known as the mother of the group 
He is also known as the gentleman of the group by the fans 
He is fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, his Korean is actually a lot better than he gives himself credit for
He is known for his signature deep voiced raps
Actually has a really good singing voice which surprised a lot of fans when he first sung an a song
He trained for 4 years before debut
He is closest with Kyle and Oliver. Kyle approached him first as he was able to speak Mandarin to him. "I was really happy when Kyle spoke to me in mandarin when I first joined. I was really nervous my Korean wouldn't be understandable."
Oliver makes fun of his Korean when he can though, and sometimes teaches him the wrong meanings to some words
He is the leader of the subunit with Kyle and Oliver
He is good friends with Jackson from GOT7 and Lucas from NCT
Currently shares a dorm with Oliver
Tumblr media
Stage name: Joker Real name: Harr Silver Position: Main vocalist Nationality: Korean
He was forced by his friend to audition because he has such an amazing voice
He actually failed several auditions before he was accepted
He actually didn’t want to pursue any more auditions. “My friend, he kept pushing me to keep auditioning. He would help me with the critiques I got so I could better polish them for the next audition. If it wasn’t for him, I really wouldn’t be here.” 
When asked if he was still in contact with this friend he said he was “He’s self declared himself as my number one fan. (Laughs) He’s really crazy, I honestly feel like he would be better suited in an idol group. He has red hair and amazing visuals.”
He still gets very nervous performing in front of a crowd. He was once criticised that he was lacking in his dance and stage presence in the  comeback they were doing in an interview once. This made Jonah mad who is also the group’s other main vocals, "I would like to hear you sing as well as him then." Jonah got reprimanded by Lance soon after the interview
Learning choreography is hard for him, he is always the last to leave the dance studio, luckily for him Oliver always stays to help him out

Pay Up iKON Junhoe x READER
I have requests open, so pelase do request away!
------
Summary: Unpaid debts from illegal gambling take you to meet the ruthless gang boss whom you owed money to, but how will you paay him?
Pairing: Koo Junhoe (June) x Reader
Words: Several, I’d say
Genre: Smut 
A/N: there’s some heavy stuff here, so if you’re not very comfortable with extremes I would advise you to skip this!
  “No... Please! Please give me another chance, I promise I can do this I-I’ll do anything!” You begged, tears threatening to fall from your distressed eyes.
  “Sorry love, ain’t no breakin’ the rules...” 
   The big man with the rough beard wearing a heavy-looking leather vest collected the remaining chips on the table, after showing his royal flush.
   Your head sunk low. Small whimpers and sniffs could be heard, and although you wouldn’t show your pained expression, all of the men in the room could tell you were crying.
    “How are you gonna pay love?” 
    The rules of this Poker game with a twist were pretty simple: if you didn’t have enough chips to even the ones on the table but still didn’t want to fold, you would write on a paper the ammount still needed and throw it near the chips that represented quantities of money.
   You slowly lifted your head. Your eyes looked dead, even though they were crying, and your hair seemed as if it hadn’t known a hairbrush in weeks.
   You chuckled at the question. The situation was nowhere near being funny however.
    “I-I’m... I’m not. I can’t play this.”
    One of the men she had been playing against looked visibly shocked: his head immediately turned to her, his eyes grew twice their size and his mouth opened a little. The man that had received all of the chips stopped counting the plastic pieces to look at the brave girl who had just said that. The rest of the men had a mixture of pity and shock in their expressions.
    “Ya done messed up girl... I’m sorry but from here on it ain’t my department no more.” The dealer said, raised his hand, and made a movement with it so as to call over one of the big men all dressed in black that stood by the door.
    “This young lady ain’t able to pay, would you escort her to Boss so he could handle it?”
    The man said nothing, he simply nodded and walked next to your chair. You stood up calmly and started walking. You weren’t going to fight it, there was no point in trying to run from a gang... She had better luck fleeing the country, but with what money?
    “Good luck darlin’ you gonna need it with that man...” One of the other players said, before you left.
    After a couple minutes of walking and climbing stairs, they arrived to a hallway that had one door only. The big man knocked on said door.
    “Can it wait?” A man yelled in a deep, raspy voice from the inside of the rooms.
    The guard looked down at you and then at the door.
    “Where would we keep her?” 
    The question made by the man startled you. 
    Oh God, what had you walked into!?
    But to ease your mind, a sigh was heard.
   “Go ahead...” He said from the inside.
    The guard finally opened the door, grabbed your arm and pushed you in.
    The man in the large room was standing by the big window, looking outside and sipping a glass of whiskey.
    He turned around to face you and made a nasty face. You must have looked like a mess...
    The man sat behind a desk and stared at you.
   “Well, are you going to sit down or will I have to call in the big guy to sit you down?”
    You scurried to the chair and took a seat.
    The person in front of you seemed a little too young to be the Boss of a gang, but he certainly looked like one: his lip had a scar, and it seemed like it had been busted pretty recently, his cheek was stitched up, his torso and forearms (that were mostly exposed due to the rolled up sleeves and unbottuned white shirt) were painted with permanent ink and his eyes looked like he had never loved anything in his life.
    “You’re making me annoyed. Why are you not speaking? We’re not here for a picnic, I don’t think I need to tell you I’m not a fucking fortune teller, I can’t foresee why you’re here.” He told you in a condescending tone.
    You were already nervous, and this approach sure as Hell wasn’t happening.
    “I can’t pay.” You finally let out.
    The man, who was taking another sip of his drink, just raised an eyebrow at you.
    “What else is new... We don’t take late payments, so you can choose between finding a way to pay me right now or mysteriously disappearing one day.” He threatened.
    You could feel sweat starting to form on your forehead as you swallowed air.
    “I can... pay you another way.” You said as you leaned your breasts on top of his desk and bit your lip while winking at the man.
   To your surprise, the Boss just rolled his eyes.
   “If I accepted every of those requests” he started as he stood up “do you even imagine how many women I would have had by now? I’m sure you can imagine that if I wanted to fuck someone I wouldn’t have a problem. If that was all you had to offer, you may go.”
    Your knees suddenly felt weak. No, no, no ,no! This couldn’t possibly be happening! This desperation clouding your mind brought one last idea.
    “My life.”
    This caught the man’s interest. He turned around and looked at you, whom stood up.
    “I’m sorry?”
    “I’ll give you my life. I’m yours. You’ve had many girls, but I bet you’ve never had one to call your possession. To be whoever you wanted her to be. A costumizable sex slave.”
    You could see the man’s lips crack a smirk. The man would have been lying if he said that a “costumizable sex slave” didn’t sound like music to his ears.
   He stepped closer to you and put his glass down on his desk.
   “You think you can take it?” He asked, as he traced your jaw with his finger.
   “Test me.”
    The smirk that was once on his lips had turned into a full dirty smile. He looked behind you, and you followed his eyes with your own.
   “That’s the bathroom. Fix yourself up and meet me out here once you’re done.”
    You smiled a little and hushed to the room. You were quick to find a hairbrush and a towel, which was basically all you needed. You fixed your hair quickly and washed your face. Then, you removed all of your clothes, leaving you only in your red lace underwear. You hadn’t planned for this to happen, but you thanked God you decided to wear something nice under your clothes today.
     Once you were happy with your look, you opened the door and stepped out, striking a pose as you stopped.
     Junhoe, who was already shirtless took a good look at you and smiled.
    “Now we’re talking.”
    He called you over using his finger, and like a good girl you obeyed.
    “How’s my slave named then?” He asked, while his hands roamed free on your body.
    “Y/N. How should I call my master?”
    The pet name you called the man made him smile, and feel some type of way down there.
    “My name is Junhoe, but I like to hear that pretty mouth call me master.”
    As your arms flung around his neck, his hand brought your hips closer together by his large hand tightly groping your ass.
    “Your wish is my command master.”
    Junhoe groaned and latched his lips onto yours. He didn’t take it slow, quite the opposite, he went as harsh as possible. 
    When his lips left yours, he started kissing down your jaw and neck. He bit and sucked harshly on your neck, causing you to tangle your fingers in his hair and moan loudly.
    “Undress me and suck this cock.” Junhoe whispered in your ear whilst grabbing your cheeks.
    “Yes master.”
    You got on your knees and undid the belt and zipper of the suit pants. You brought them down, along with his briefs and the man stepped out of the clothing items.
    His lenght was standing proudly in front of your face, and you were loving it. You encircled your hands around his cock and spat on it, so you could start by slowly pumping him. 
    Once you saw him roll his eyes out of pleasure, you licked a stripe along his member and started bobbing your head, following your hand movements.
    A couple seconds after, Junhoe grabbed the back of your head and started thursting into your mouth, making you gag on his cock. 
    Junhoe’s eyes were closed and his mouth was agape. The sounds you were making were the best thing he had heard all month.
     As he was about to come he pulled out. The man instructed you to get up, and you oblied. He reached on your back and skillfully unclasped your bra, then removing it.
    “On the floor. All fours.”
     “Yes master.”
    You got on all floors on top of the rug. You felt the man kneel down behind you and pull down the rest of your underwear. 
   “Open up.” He said, holding your panties balled up near your mouth. 
   You opened your mouth, only for it to be stuffed with your own underwear.
   “Everytime you make a sound, you’ll be punished, understand?”
    You spoke a muffled “Yes master”, then earning a sharp pain in your ass.
    “What did I say princess?”
     Junhoe started by kissing your thigh, then around your core, and when his tongue started pushing in and out of you, oh boy shit got real. You wanted to scream out his name but you knew you couldn’t.
   You sunk your head in the rug to try and help your situation, but to your surprise, Junhoe pulled away from your wet pussy and his hand flew across your ass.
    “Mantain your position.”
    You nodded, and he kept licking long stripes on your womanhood, this time adding three fingers as well, pulling them in and out as fast as he could. 
    He stopped once more, but only to flip you around, so he could see your face as he played with you pussy like it was his own toy.
    Junhoe continued licking you and fingering you. Your face was as red as the walls of the room, and the both of your knew you were about to come. 
     “Kitten wants to come?”
     Junhoe watched you nod impatiently and he smirked. He pulled out his fingers, denying your orgasm. You whined silently at that.
      Your master proceeded to remove your “gag” and shoved in your mouth the three fingers that had been on you. You sucked on them, and licked each finger clean, and oh it was a sight to see.
      “Oh babydoll, I’m gonna fuck you so hard.” Junhoe groaned, as he settled between your legs and slapped your thighs.
      “Please master, I can’t wait for your cock to fuck me.”
     This was Junhoe’s kryptonite. He pushed into you and pounded you like there was no tomorrow. You were yelling for his name loudly, as he fucked you mercilessly. One of his hands grabbed your thigh, while the other reached for your neck and choked you harshly, adding some new marks to the ones that had been made by his mouth.
      You couldn’t handle all of this anymore so you clenched around his hard member and you came, hard. Your mouth let out a loud moan and your legs trembled. 
      “On your knees.” Junhoe demanded after a couple more thrusts, as he stood up.
    You obeyed quickly, and he started pumping his dick near your face.
    “Please let me be your cum slut master.”
    “Oh my God...” He growled in a low voice and threw his head back.
     A few more pumps and he came, spewing his warm liquid all over your face.
    The only thing audible in the room were heavy breathings for a while, with the two of you trying to regain your normal breath, but then, Junhoe spoke.
    “Welcome to the gang Y/N”

Summary: Bao and Tablo are working on their song. Oh, and Hanbin comes in too, along with Haru. 
Warnings: none
Taglist: @hyunmijung​ @galacticstxrdust​ @kimonmars​ @soobinssmile​ @markszone​
A/N: Hope you enjoy!
Requests are open! Please let me know what you think.
Tumblr media
Music played from the speakers in Tablo’s home studio. Bao was tweaking a song on her laptop, while Tablo hovered over her shoulder, watching. They had been working on their song for her mini album for the past five hours, taking breaks in between and what not.
“I’m really liking how it’s coming out, Bao. The sound is different from iKON's sound, but I guess that that’s the whole point. This is your song, your album,” the older rapper said, moving back to sit in his own chair. He wheeled it over to Bao as she turned to look at him.
“Good. ‘Cause that’s what I’m going for,” Bao smiled, raising her hands above her head and stretching. She heard a series of pops going up her back and she hummed in satisfaction. “Thank you again, for joining me on this song.” She slouched into her seat.
“Of course. It was a long time coming really. Ever since you debuted, I had promised to work on a song with you,” Tablo said, nodding his head and smiling. “Actually Mithra is kinda jealous that I’m here and not the whole group,” Tablo chuckled.
Bao snorted. “Well then I guess I’ll either have to be featured on an Epik High song or you guys on my next album,” Bao said nodding. She huffed a laugh as Tablo squinted at her.
“You’re just trying to claim fame from Epik High,” Tablo accused jokingly, then laughed as Bao nodded her head enthusiastically.
“It’s always been my dream, Oppa!” Bao said, voice taking on an airy tone. She clasped her hands together and rested them on her cheek, head tilting slightly as she fluttered her eyes at the man.
Tablo who was taking a sip of his iced coffee at the moment, almost choked. He threw his head back laughing. Bao laughed as well, the older’s laugh always being contagious.
“That looked painful,” Tablo said, as his laughter died down.
Bao nodded, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hands (If she used her fingers, she’d poke an eye out with her nails. It’s happened before.) She looked up at him and grimaced. “Oh, it was,” the girl said, shaking her head. That was as close to anything remotely cute as she’d ever get.
Shaking her head with a smile, Bao sat up in her seat, bringing her left leg up to her chest. She leaned over her computer to go back to working on the song. The younger heard Tablo moving around, and she looked up at him as he walked over to the door to the studio. Looking back at her computer, she heard him open the door.
“Hey, Blo-hyung.” Bao smiled at the greeting.
“Hey, Hanbin. Come on in,” Tablo greeted. Bao turned to face the two men. She rested her cheek in her hand, smiling as she waited for Hanbin to notice her.
The younger turned from Tablo then froze when he saw her. “Bao?” he asked, head tilting to the side.
“Hey, Handsome,” she winked at him then turned back to her song.
“Yes, Bin. It’s your girlfriend,” Tablo said slowly, as if Hanbin wouldn’t understand him. Bao chuckled.
“What?” Hanbin asked as the two walked over to sit with Bao.
“I’m working on a song with Bao,” Tablo said, motioning towards her laptop. Bao nodded, then looked at the younger over her shoulder, smiling.
“I told you this, remember? We’re almost done, actually,” she said, enjoying the lost look on the poor boy’s face.
“Okaay. Then why am I here?” Hanbin asked, pointing to himself.
“Oh, I called you over,” Tablo answered, smirking. Hanbin turned to look at him, raising a questioning brow. “Bao had told me that she wanted you to help her with a song, but that you didn’t seem too thrilled about it,” the older continued.
“So I got him to call you,” Bao gave a nod as she pointed at Tablo.
“So you tricked me?” Hanbin asked, folding his arms over his chest.
“Yup,” Bao said, holding a thumbs up.
“Okay,” Hanbin said, shrugging.
“That was weirdly easy,” Tablo squinted at him, then looked at Bao who shrugged, eyes not coming off the screen. “I was under the impression that I would have had to tie him down. That’s why I said to work at the studio here in the house and not at my company,” Tablo said. Bao laughed. He almost seemed disappointed.
“Oops,” Hanbin said, smiling sheepishly. “I can pretend if you want,” he suggested, smiling.
“No. Stop. That’ll be stupid,” Tablo waved him off, rolling his eyes. Hanbin chuckled, then got up from his seat as Tablo turned to his own computer to work as well.
Hanbin walked to Bao looking at the song on the screen. He placed a hand on her shoulder, the other softly tapping her arm. Bao, without looking away from the screen and hand still on the mouse, got up, letting Hanbin sit in her seat. She sat back down on his lap, his hands snaking around her waist to reach for the laptop.
“Aww, that’s cute. Limit your PDA, though,” Tablo said from his seat. Bao smirked, side eyeing him. He pretended to gag. (Real mature, Oppa.)
The three worked in silence for the next hour. Hanbin and Bao have worked on music together so much that the pair could work without ever having to talk. It was like they could tell exactly what the other was thinking. It was something that always amazed the rest of iKON.
A knock came from the door and all three turned to look at it as it slowly opened. Haru poked her head in looking around, then she smiled.
“Bao-unnie! Hanbin-oppa!” the girl cheered as she ran to the pair.
“Sure. Just ignore your own father,” Tablo muttered, watching as his daughter went to hug both Hanbin and Bao.
“Hi, Haru! Wow, it’s been so long since I last saw you,” Hanbin said, taking the girl in his arms, smiling.
“I know! You need to come over more often,” Haru pouted as she pulled away. She then moved over to Bao.
“Hi, Unnie,” Haru smiled. Bao smiled as well, opening her arms for Haru. The girl giggled as she went into her arms.
Bao gave her a kiss on her head, squishing her cheeks. “I missed you, Haru,” the rapper said, and Haru giggled. Bao smirked as she heard Tablo huff. “Haru. Go hug your dad. I think he’s getting jealous,” Bao said, turning the girl around to face her dad.
Haru giggled then walked over to her dad and wrapped her arms around her neck. “Hi, Daddy,” she smiled.
“Hi, Sweetheart,” Tablo chuckled into her hair. Haru then pulled away and walked over to an empty chair, pulling it towards the three rappers. “What are you doing, Haru?” Tablo asked, smiling.
“It’s been forever since I’ve seen Oppa and Unnie. I want to spend time with them,” Haru answered, turning to the couple and grinning. Bao and Hanbin laughed.
“But we’re working. We won’t be able to talk with you,” Hanbin said, pouting.
“That’s why I brought this,” Haru said as if it was obvious, holding up her Switch. “I’m playing Luigi’s Mansion,” Haru said.
“So you just want to be in the same room as them?” Tablo asked the girl. His daughter nodded, smiling. “Isn’t my daughter the sweetest?” He turned to look at the other two, smirking.
“Just the sweetest,” Bao chuckled.
“Are you two staying for dinner? Are they staying for dinner, Daddy?” Haru asked the couple then her father.
“If they want,” Tablo said shrugging.
“I’m only staying for Haru,” Bao smiled, winking at the girl, who giggled.
“Yeah, ‘cause I definitely didn’t just help you with a whole song,” Tablo snarked, rolling his eyes.
“It’s the eyes,” Hanbin said seriously, pointing to his own eyes, then Haru’s. The girl nodded her head as if this were true. Bao smirked. She loved Haru.
“This is very true,” Tablo agreed. “Okay then. Let's all get back to work,” he said, even motioning towards Haru who nodded determinedly, holding her Switch up.
“Sir, yes, sir,” Bao mocked a salute. Hanbin chuckled then the two went back to working on the song in front of them.
