miss Cheryl. let’s say English is the tannies’ first language.
which pet name(s)/term(s) of endearment would each of them love to address their partner by…
i, for one, could see yoongi being partial to ‘my love’ or ‘love’, since that was how he would address ARMYs before they gave us our official fandom name… he used to call us ‘my loves’ so i feel like he’d call his significant other ‘my love’ too in English 🥺🥺🥺🥺
as for namjoon, i feel like he’d use ‘baby’ because he says that word a lot lmao 😂😂😂
but anyways im asking for YOUR take so don’t mind me 😂 like, out of sweetheart, baby, babe, princess, love, honey, sweetie, darling, beautiful, gorgeous, sexy, cutie, flower, sweetpea, etc,,, which member do you think would use what and why 🥰🥰🥰
Ahhh, I love this! Ugh, it was before my time, but whenever romantic-ass Yoongi said "My Loves" must have been precious and divine. And Namjoon saying "baby" is just--- it's--- in that low voice--- I CAN'T GO THERE RIGHT NOW!
Phew, OK, so a loooong time ago, when I was still feeling out my personal characterizations of the guys, I started a series called Letters from the Road. It's meant to be a series of short letters from the boys telling you about their days on tour, and in each, they use a pet name for you. I haven't finished letters from all the members, but I extended the idea into The Road to You. In each chapter, you get a pet name from each of them that reflects your relationship with them. So to answer your ask, I’ll share a little more!

Namjoon: "Sweetheart" | read his letter to you
Tumblr media

Namjoon uses "baby" all the time at work. In rehearsal. On stage. It slides out of his mouth so easily. He uses it for so many things. Not just as a nickname for people, but also as an enthusiastic exclamation. "We got this, baby!" / "That's what we do, baby!" / "Come on, baby, one more run!" Pats on the back for jobs well done. Eager excitement at a song that's coming along. Maybe even just a quick, peppy pick-me-up for a member who needs a little push to get through a tough day. 
You, however, need something all your own. A nickname that no one knows about. A pet name that expresses just how stupid in love he is with you. It's a bit retro and nostalgic, kind of like he is. It's also a little quieter, like his normal speaking voice, feeling like a warm embrace when it comes out in that naturally low and airy drawl. He wants to protect you. Wants to preserve you. Wants to be just for you.
Jin: “Doll” | read his letter to you
Tumblr media

Jin can do anything and everything. He knows it, and he’ll show you. He does. And he boasts. And he brags. Even news of his unparalleled looks spread world-wide. And a World Wide Handsome man like him pairs well with an unspeakably beautiful doll face -- especially yours. 
But it’s not just the aesthetic features of your face that he craves. It’s that knowing, happy smile. The light in your dazzling eyes. The potential within the cosmos that make up your playful, hilarious, thrilling brain. You also know that you can do anything that you set your mind to. You can take on any challenge, face every fear, and you’ll laugh in delight while you do it. Dolls aren’t meant to be collected and put on a shelf. Dolls are meant to live hundreds of thousands of lives, and Jin counts himself lucky if he gets to live one of those lives with you.
Yoongi: “You” /  “Your Yoongi” | read his letter to you
Tumblr media
source
Yoongi has several loves. His music. His brothers. His fans. 
But there is only one You.
There’s a video of the boys answering the question of how they might propose to someone. I know I’ve posted about it before, but I cannot find the original article that I learned about it from. This post by submissive-bangtan summarizes the point. All I remember is that Jungkook’s response was “You’re mine”, and Yoongi’s response was, “I’m yours”. That has stayed with me and impacted how I think of him. The fact that Yoongi, bashful as he can get with sentimental stuff, will give you everything that he is. It’s almost as if he doesn’t dare assign you a nickname. Rather, he calls himself Your Yoongi, happily surrendering everything to you for your love in return.
Hobi: “Honey”
Tumblr media
source
"Honey” seems like a pretty simple nickname. Yes, it’s sweet, like you. Yes, it’s bright, like you. Yes, it goes with everything, like you. But do people know how much hard work it takes to be you? How nourishing you actually are? How precious? How entire colonies will work just for a glimpse of you? Hobi knows. Because Hobi is the same way. Whatever he has, he works hard for, and he works like a soldier to ensure that you have the kind of love that you deserve.
In turn, you nourish him. You sustain him. You soothe him when things get too rough. And you do it all in that natural, amber glow of yours, golden like his sun. 
Jimin: “Princess” | read his letter to you
Tumblr media
source
Jimin loves to bask. Loves to shine. Loves the aura around his crown. He turns every place that he exists into a stage, and whenever he’s onstage, he’s the center of attention. He just switches on in the light. And he’s never as brilliant as when he’s with you.
Because Jimin worships you. He adores the ground that you walk on. He gives thanks for every moment that you have with him. You are never just together. Your bodies don’t just drape over each other. You adorn each other. Fitting that he would call you royalty. His pet name for you might be Princess, but he treats you like a Queen.
Taehyung: Some diminutive form of your name
Tumblr media
source
Taehyung has a quirky soft spot for cute, tiny things. Babies. Pets. Cartoon characters. He essentially squeals when he’s so overwhelmed with love for these sweet things in his life. It’s almost like his brain short-circuits and he can only take in so much information.
So he does that with you. Maybe he adds “-a” or “-ie” to the end of your name. Maybe he takes the first syllable and repeats it like a chant or prayer. Maybe he lops off the first syllable and keeps it that way, or keeps the second, or the third. But he finds a way to focus on you, on the core part of you, the part that he loves with his entire heart. And he makes it, you, all his own, just as unique as he is. 
Jungkook: “Babe”
Tumblr media
source
Can’t you hear it in all sorts of shapes? Twisting out of his throat when he’s whining? Teasing when you’re competing? Floating out on his voice when he’s calling for you? Cooing when you’re wrapped up in each others’ arms?
A simple nickname, but one he doesn’t take lightly. He loves it, you, so much that he rarely actually uses your real name. You are his babe, plain and simple. His to cherish. His to call. His to award with his simple, precious, clean love. Doesn’t need to overthink it. Just knows. And it helps you fall even faster.
