wait !! a couple of days ago u rb that thing asking ppl to send u idols and u would name ur 3 fav things abt them and u mentioned ur ult and i meant to ask ur top 3 things abt them and then Forgot but !! if u still wanna i am curious as to what ur top 3 things abt them are !! i also feel kinda bad for not knowing who it is ! :/

Omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg My heart just fucking parkoured or something 😂

Kim Taehyung is my ult! Since BTS was my first kpop group, they've been my ult group ever since. And Tae was the first my eyes landed on and since then, he's remained my ult. He means a lot to me, and I've learned so much about myself because of him, so here's a list of 3 (or more!) of my fave things about TaeTae!!!

1. Family oriented. I cannot help but love how family oriented he is. I can't relate, because my family sucks and so I'm pretty detached from all of that, but he really loves his family. He'd win prizes at variety shows (when they did that) and save them for his parents, he loves kids and would be sucha kind and comforting father, and of course the way he loved his grandmother. That last one I have to bring up, because it kinda shocked me how impacted he was by her death. Back then, I couldn't imagine shedding a tear for some of my grandparents. It really made me reevaluate how I thought about my family and grandparents. Now, I care more for my nana and papaw. Like I said, I was reaaaally detached from any sense of family. Tae is so loving and giving, and I seriously hope he will find/has found someone who he can love and who can love him wholeheartedly.

2. Humor. I absolutely love Tae's humor. He can make jokes with such a serious face, which makes it even funnier! For example, when asked what his favorite lyric from their (BTS') songs was, he said with a straight face 'set it on fire bow wow wow.' There are so many other examples of how funny he is, but I'm gonna limit myself or this would be veeeeeery long 😅

2.1. His acting. I love him??? I love that him and Jimin will randomly reenact or make up scenes and just. Act them out? And the other members either go about what they're doing or look like their three seconds away from being like, 'Right in front of my salad?' I'm hoping he'll get another drama role, because man. I'd love to see more of his acting. I also love that he uses this to his advantage 😂 Idk if you've seen any Run eps, but Run!BTS is wiiiiild. They fight over gift cards and food as if they aren't wearing accessories and clothes more expensive than cars (*ahem* J-Hope wearing an 80,000$ watch in front of a 70,000$ car...) One of my favorite things is when Tae very casually convinces the others that he's not up to anything, and they always believe him no matter how many times he does this XD Like that one Run! ep where they had to get stickers or something onto the other members backs, and Tae went up to Jimin and pretended to help him fix the thing on his back while places so many stickers on and... Jimin just let him. He even said something along the lines of 'I trust you so I'm showing you my back' and 'Thank you for helping me.' Like... Bruuuuuh it's cute that you trust Tae but 👀 he had an agenda 😂😂😂 the end, when Jimin found out, was so fucking funny. Tae really played his soulmate like that lmao

2.2 And! How you can always trust him to show how the group entirely is feeling. Like in interviews and stuff. Tae absolutely doesn't mess around. He's very true to himself, and doesn't put up with stupid questions. He doesn't like people who are clearly clout chasers and people who use BTS' name and pretend they love them but. Often times they're just racist and using BTS for followers. It sucks, because ARMY don't want to hype up someone who's using BTS' name, so we kinda all look to Tae at this point. Any good (or even decent) interviewer will be able to get Tae engaged in the interview and smiling. Gosh, a recent interviewer called ARMY insane and the members reactions to that... We're BTS' everything just as they are ours. Calling us insane is the quickest way to BTS' shit list. But, I just think it's really nice be able to gave the group's overall mood through Tae. He can gauge a person's bad vibes reaaaal quick lmao 😂

3. His dancing!!! I got into BTS and kpop around... 2? 3 years ago? Anyways, it was a few months before Tear comeback on May 18th. If I ever lose all of my memories I have no doubt I'd remember that comeback date before my own birthday. That was when he officially became a part of the dance line. I always differentiate dance lines styles of dance like this: Hobi is powerful, Jimin is graceful, Jungkook is bold, and Taehyung is subtle. Tae really mastered this art of subtle movements and expressions. His Singularity performances are always different in some way; he fully expresses the lyrics and song with his movements and it's so fascinating to watch him dance. He is a dancer that continuously gets better, even when it seems like he has reached top of the mountain. Tbh it was mainly his dancing that drew me to him. I got into kpop the year after I'd had to quit dance, and at that time I'd fallen out of love with it. The way Tae dances helped rekindle my love for dance, because watching him is almost magical. I absolutely love watching him dance! He's a phenomenal dancer!!!

3.1. He's cute 😖 I have to bring this up. He is c u t e. He eats in pout and has this cute and quirky happy dance he does and he likes cuddling someone to sleep well and he drinks too much water when he's nervous and his smile is boxy like a rectangle and he has an elephant on his arm and he can't drink coffee and he is very artistic and loves to paint or draw on his clothes and adapt his fashion to suit him and he loves artwork and classical musicians and he posts blurry pictures of funny faces for ARMY and he likes photography and if we ask about Yeontan (his dog) he'll post cute pictures of Tannie and his eyes shine with love and adoration for BTS and ARMY because we're his everything. This kinda went from 'cute' to 'I lomve him and here's just a few reasons why' but that's okay XD

At first, newer ARMYs only had older content to help them learn about BTS. Each member had one characteristic that became all they were, and it became harmful and toxic. For Tae, he was the weird alien. People didn't understand him. Thankfully, these views have worn away over time, and there's newer content that helps new ARMY learn who BTS really are. But I started out seeing these views. And, honestly, I really resonated with the 'weird alien' characteristic. That was how I'd been viewed my whole life, so to see how people have come to understand him and love him as wonderful and quirky as he is really makes me happy. He's someone I really relate to and he's helped me love and express myself more.

I don't talk about him much on here, but that's mostly because what is there to say? I love him so very much, but I don't need to express that all of the time. For him it just. Is. This barely scratches the surface of how much I love him and how important he is to me. He makes me happy, so I hope he is happy often. I hope knows how loved he is. So... Yeah 😅 This definitely got longer than I intended but I wasn't kidding when I said I'd totally need more than 3 points for my favorite things about my ult bias 😂😂😂

Thank you for asking!!! And, I hope you were able to make it to the bottom of me gushing over Tae 😂 💚💚💚

#kris speaks #answered asks #ask game #i see 'kpop isn't that deep' thrown aeound but i just wanna add that when your kpop boy literally gives you courage to live then...#i was in a bad place when i learned about bts and they have helped me through tough times ever since #literally i wanted to **** myself a while back and woke up crying because bts would be sad if i wasn't around #it really gave me perspective on how important i am in this world #i'll never question how much bts love me and i'll never have to because i'll always know #i'm loving myself a little more everyday because of them even if there are setbacks #thank you for asking btw!!! it means a lot 💚💚💚#long post #cause this is. long 😂

My opinion on this whole Pewdiepie debacle

Soooo in case y’all havn’t heard (which is probably none of you anyway but I gotta start this off somehow), Pewdiepie came under fire fairly recently bcs he made a video where he paid ppl to hold up a sign saying “Death to all Jews” and trying to pass it off as a joke. Of course, he got hate and ppl going wtf, and of course his fans and friends rushed in to shield and excuse him.

So this is my view on the matter. I may add on to it in the future, if I’m still a little salty and want to add onto it.

So first off, saying “Death to Jews” isn’t funny. You can spout off “he was just seeing if they’d do it!” “it’s just dark humor!” “it’s just a meme!” or whatever else. “Death to Jews” isn’t funny, it’s not even a joke. There’s no cleverness, no puchline, just “these minorities deserve to die”.I’m a fan of dark humor and I can differentiate a structured joke between a antisemitic statement.

I extremely love how The Guardian put it:

Hatred is camouflaged in absurd memes and an overblown rhetorical style, hidden in cartoon figures like the “alt-right” mascot Pepe the Frog. Nothing is serious; everything is a joke.Hannah Arendt famously talked about the “banality of evil”. The idea that the cogs of capitalism help tyrants take control of people and turn evil into unthinking acts of bureaucracy: people aren’t murderers, they’re “just doing their job”.You could say that today’s digital economy has spawned a new “bro-nality of evil”. Racist memes serve as in-jokes that help solidify bonds between alienated white men online. The style of these memes, their overblown exaggerated nature, means we often don’t take them seriously. Dismiss them as jokes. But this is how antisemitism creeps into our lives. Not with a bang but with a punchline.

And I refuse to think that he just “said the wrong thing at the wrong time”, as anyone with any social outlet can see what the fuck is going on rn with antisemitism and neo-Nazis.

Now, do I think Pewdiepie is a Nazi, or even a Nazi supporter? No. Do I think he’s an egotistical and ignorant person who doesn't care abt antisemitism? Absolutely.

“but it was just one joke!” Pewdiepie has made multiple “jokes” in the past where he’s said or almost said racist things, and gotten away with it. Personally, I think the main reasons this one got so big was it was far more “in your face” than obvious and we’re in a political climate where more and more neo-Nazis and white supremacists (as well as the moderates who sympathize with them) are becoming more outspoken and prominent.

“but I’m/this person is Jewish and I/they don’t mind!” Jewish ppl, or any oppressed ppl, aren’t a unanimous hivemind. Just bcs a handful of ppl excuse something, it doesn't mean that no one can be hurt by it. (also, if you specifically mention h3h3, gtfo. i don’t want to hear a single word of that jackass).

“but look at his apology video!! he was almost cryingdsajhsadhj” First off, he most likely just made those to excuse himself, not actually apologize, and regarding his latest, he mainly rants abt the “Media™” rather than what he did, and continues to try and excuse it as a “joke”. This is yet another bs argument bigots use against “the Media” when they get called out on their shit. And he also tries to say that his intention was “to show how stupid the website is, and how far you can push it by paying $5.” Note that he only really said this AFTER he was getting hate. And attempting to use the poor and desperate ppl on Fiverr as a shield while you’re a millionaire is just disgusting.

He could have chosen from an indefinite list of things to pay them to say that would have been edgy/funny/”testing his/their limits” but instead chose that specific phrase to show off to his fans.

“but he’s so nice and polite irl! that’s just his persona!” How he treats fans and friends doesn’t excuse him. He willingly chose to pay ppl to hold up a sign with an antisemitic slogan and excuse it. Ppl commiting acts of antisemitism aren’t always screaming out their hatred and wearing swastikas, they can and will be the nicest ppl you know, whilst spreading micro-aggressions and not caring abt using/allowing Nazi imagery and slogans.

Also, Disney and Youtube most likely didn’t retract their contract bcs of the stunt itself, or bcs “WSJ backed them into a corner”, they most likely just didn’t want their names continuing to support this. And it’s not like he’s getting kicked off of YouTube or even getting a dent in his subscribers and money.

Now, can we move past this? Are we going to shame Pewdiepie forever and always? Hopefully not, but it doesn't look like Pewdiepie really cares one way or another. He doesn’t seem adamant on changing at all or respecting other’s opinions and feelings, and probably will continue to say more racist things, and his fans and friends will continue to lap up his crocodile tears every time he gets scrutiny.
