Hi!

Quick question, does Taehyung touch anyone else’s ears like he does Jungkook’s?

I don’t think he does really, no.  I believe he does occasionally touch Jin’s ears, and maybe this is me seeing through my TK goggles, but to me that reads more as annoying-touching, rather than affection-touching, if that makes sense?

When he touches Jungkook’s ears, it seems like he’s doing it out of a desire to touch him.  It’s usually random or done without any clear intent, whereas any ear-touching with Jin seems to be in keeping with most of the rest of the way Tae touches Jin, like he’s trying to get a reaction out of him.

Interestingly, I was recently talking about this with a friend, because we were trying to think of whether other members touch each other’s ears too.  Jungkook occasionally touches Tae’s ears (not as often) and we realized that Jin actually touches Taehyung’s and Jungkook’s ears sometimes too, but specifically theirs and no one else’s, that we could think of.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Tae touches Hobi’s ears sometimes too, but I can’t really think of any instances where he does.  It strikes me as sort of a “babying” thing to do, if that makes sense?  If that reading is right, it might explain why Tae and JK do it to each other, and why Jin does it to both of them, and why it might be a way Tae tries to get a rise out of Jin.

These are, of course, just theories.  Thank you for your question!  Whatever the reasons behind it, I think this habit is really cute.

Hi Rain, Merry Christmas in arears and happy new year in advance. I have read through a good amount of your blog and i gotta say you are one of the most sensible taekookers i’ve come across. I have read ur takes on taekook and jikook and i can say i see where you and other taekookers are coming from when u say you think taekook are a couple even though i don’t agree because over the years, there’s been alot of stuff that have directly or indirectly debunked taekook as a romantic pair (for me atleast)

I do have a question for you and ur followers. What will be your reaction if u come to find out one day that taekook have always been just friends and nothing more? How would u view Tae as a person if we all come to find out that he was infact dating Jennie? We had the whole accidental instagram follow back in 2021, the leaked pics in 2022 and the Paris walk in 2023. After Tae “accidentally” followed Jennie in 2021, he went on weverse and said instagram is a scary app. This entire solo era, Tae has honestly done and or said things which could imply that he is in a romantic relationship with Jungkook. We had him namedropping Jungkook on almost all his lives, talking about going to eat at Jk’s place, talking about songs Jk recommends to him and sings to him, him posting that ss of himself and Jk shirtless, posting that pic of himself and Bam in Jk’s house and we all know that he most definitely knows about what fans think of him and Jk. He has actually replied to some taekookers on weverse before. Some jikookers think Tae did some of those things to distract from his relationship with Jennie and others think he does those things so he doesn’t lose his fans who are mostly taekookers. Now no one but Tae knows why he does all these ofcourse and you taekookers would not find anything wrong with the things he does because you honestly believe he and Jungkook are in a relationship and most taekookers hate Jimin because they think Jimin has been a very bad friend to tae all these years by doing Fanservice with Jungkook even though he knows it hurts Jk. You also believe that Tae gets hurt sometimes when he watches Jikook interact. So my question to you is, what kind of a person would u think Tae is if it turns out that he was never in a romantic relationship with Jungkook but did and said all these things anyway even though he knew exactly what it looked like? I know that right now u cannot even imagine it because u really believe that taekook is real, but you used to be a Larrie and u mentioned that at some point alot of things just didn’t make sense anymore so u stopped. You have already been through that route where u shipped two pple and later realized that maybe you were wrong all along and read things wrong. What if like Larry you are also reading alot of things wrong with taekook? If it turns out that you are once again wrong, would u respect Tae as a person? Would u honestly hold him accountable for misleading millions of fans with his words and actions or would u find ways to continue making excuses for him? I know that right now you cannot even imagine it but what if Jimin and Jungkook have been the real couple all along? Would u think Tae was a good friend to Jimin all these years? All you tkkrs who hate Jimin because u think he is a bad friend and a homewrecker, if we one day find out that jikook is real, would u redirect ur hate to Tae? Would u blame tae for all the things you blamed Jimin for all these years? What about Jennie? If we someday get concrete proof that tae was dating Jennie, how would u feel about the fact that he sat there and did nothing but fuel his taekook shippers while Jennie got hate every single day because of him? How would u look at him after he sat there and allowed his entire fandom to call that girl names and accuse her of using him for clout even though he was really dating her? Would u think Taehyung is a good person if all these turn out to be true? How would u explain the way he behaved sometimes when jikook interacted? How would u explain him saying all those things about Jungkook?I honestly want you to think about all of these and tell me honestly what you would think of Taehyung.

I know that you and other tkkrs love Tae and you believe that he and Jk are a couple but lets be objective here. Tae started mentioning and focusing on talking about Jungkook alot immediately after those photos with Jennie hit the timeline. Now I’m not saying i know his intentions but let’s look at a few things. After May of 2022, we had Tae mentioning Jk on almost all of his lives and sometimes just mentioning him with no context. In June 2022, he did a live saying he would get his tattoo with Jungkook, and then he proceeded to upload a fake tattoo minutes after Jungkook posted his real tattoo. In November he did a live and said he was going to game with Jungkook. At the airport, he said he was supposed to travel with Jungkook, in January he went live and said Jungkook was there at his place gaming with him and his friends, in February he asked Jk to do an instagram live together, mentioned on live that he was going to do a karaoke Live with Jungkook, also mentioned that he was making plans to enlist with Jungkook, does many lives and mentions Jungkook’s names so many times, talks about a song Jk recommended to him (with sus lyrics), talks about Jk singing to him, talks about going to eat at Jungkook’s place, during his entire promotion, he talks about recording at Jungkook’s place, and didn’t give much context until Jk came and explained and gave better context. So Tae is close to his wooga squad too and other members of bts, but he never felt the need to talk about them as much as he spoke about Jk. So if if turns out that Tae was dating Jennie all along, how would you explain these actions of his?

This is just a hypothetical situation ofcourse but i would really love to hear how u would react and and how you will view tae as a person if it turns out that he was never in a relationship with Jk, actually dated Jennie and Jimin has been the one in a relationship with Jk all along. The truth is, everyone is speculating here and no matter how convinced you think u are of ur ship, there is always a possibility that there are certain parts of the puzzle that u missed so u couldn’t come out with the full picture. Think about this and let me know what you and your anons think. Who knows? Maybe in a not so distant future, so many people will be coming back to this ask when think take a completely different turn from what y’all are expecting.

Hi anon!

Merry Christmas (a bit belated) and a Happy New years in advance to you too!

Alright.. let's get the obvious out of the way: You are a Jkkr and you don't much like Tae. You are a very polite Jkkr, and you have read my blog so thanks for that, now let me talk about the way I love Tae.

Tae is my bias. I love al members very much, all of them have a special place in my heart, but Tae is the one who constantly touches me, who has made me realize things about myself, who makes me stronger (even at 41 years old). I feel close to him, because I feel he and I are the same in some ways.. in ways that matter to me. I have always struggled with feeling different. People just don't easily get me, while I always get other people. I have a difficulty making people understand the way my mind works. And I used to think that was my fault, that I was doing something wrong. I've been on a road to acceptance of my weirdness for a long time, and.. even before I became an Army, I was already doing pretty well. I had accepted my weirdness. What Tae brought me was a freedom to also enjoy my weirdness. When I look at him, I see someone who has had the same issues like me, but who is so wonderfull.. I started thinking... who even cares if someone is slightly different from the rest. It's uniqueness. And uniqueness means that some people might not understand you, but others might find you amazing. So that's what Tae means to me. I love how he's soft and cuddly and caring, but he's also sharp as a knife. Tae cares, he cares so much and everyone around him knows it... so why don't you anon?

There's little certainties in shipping. I know I might me wrong about Tae and Jk, but there's other certainties that I do have. I am absolutely certain that Tae and Jk are extremely close, that they love each other even if it's only platonically. I am also very certain that Jm and Tae love each other to pieces. I think fandom has been a thorn in their eyes at times because of the Tkkrs hate Jm and Jkkrs hate Tae issues. I do not think they like serious shipping very much because of it. SO when you aks me, what would I think about Tae if him and Jk are not dating.. I would still think of him the same. My reasons for loving Tae have nothing to do with Tae and Jk. That is just something I noticed, but I do not need Jm to be the bad guy in this story and that is something you have to work on anon.. because you cannot think of Tae kindly wjile also reconciling that with your ship... of which you also cannot be sure. You dislike Tae in favor of a ship that probably isn't real.

If Tae and Jk aren't together I would still think he talked about him that much because they spent so much time together. Tae doesn't talk about Wooga much because when he does a live he is talking to Army. Army knows Jk. Army asks about Jk. When Tae goes live he is constantly reminded of Jk. He talks about him more than other members because they spend more time together.

If Tae and Jennie were real (🥴) I'd think he just went through a toxic relationship that finally ended and was very happy afterwards. It's a weird take to have that he used Jk to hide his relationship with Jennie. Like.. point to the gay to hide a straight one? Maybe they shouldn't have called a pap when they were in Paris then?

I cannot imagine Jkk being real. I mean, to me those two are so much bro-friends I just cannot. There's too much standing in the way for me to think of that as a possibility. Even my hypothetical thoughts end up in me going "nope".

The way Tae behaved at times when Jk and Jm were Jkking is something I would have difficulty explaining if it turns out Tkk isn't real. Because that is odd to me. There's a sadness and an annoyance there that I cannot explain otherwise. I do not feel Tae blames Jm for this, those two are good. If there's feeligns of anger those feelings are for the situation as a whole. Fandom often forgets that members know each other way better than we know them. So Tae knows better what's in Jm and Jk's minds than we do. And that goes the other way around as well. I am convinced that Jm would hate the way you think of Tae, just like Tae would hate the way some Tkkrs think about Jm.

Jungkook: yes.

Jin(eating popcorn): a c c i d e n t a l l y?

Jungkook: ...yes

[stormblessed95]

Omg, but why do they care if Jungkook and Taehyung were together or not? This screams young teens who haven't had a serious and healthy relationship yet... Just be happy they're having fun and want to spend time together because they sincerely enjoy each other's presence. There is literally nothing else to read behind that, or do these people have a liaison with whoever they hang out with?

Please y'all stop and go buy your tickets for the Busan concert in cinemas lol

GOOD LORD IT DRIVES ME CRAZY TOO. Anyway, since everyone wants to talk about it so bad, let's enjoy it! Taekook are the cutest gaming buddies for real!

It's such a fun thing they enjoy doing together! And it makes me so happy it's been such a consistent fun connection for them since the beginning and they STILL get together and make time to relax playing video games together too! So fun!

#taekook gaming buddies #people need to unclench and just be happy seeing the members and getting fun updates

this selca was posted on 140411, the day of a fansign in Yeouido, with the caption:

i cant believe taekook consulted a fortune teller

#im not even a taekook truther #but the only thing not sus about that is the fact that they told us about it #bc its like admitting theyre in a relationship but they cant admit that so it cant be that #but?? #ok liek we dk the context ofc #maybe it was one of their private trips when they dressed up each other or i mean no #one of their trips with taehyungs wooga friends wait no– #maybe it was in daegu when jungkook was getting bam there nooooo wait fuck #i meant sometime with bts members coming together. yes. thats what i meant #maybe they ALL got consulted -.- #and they just coincidentally got their fortunes matching like hes water and im fire. but like as FRIENDS as BROS come on #'i need fire but i have him' ....so what... #whatever i bet idols get their fortune told all the time for fanservice maybe the fortune teller even made that up bc she shipped taekook #wow! #crazy #she was like ok so u need fire but you have him:33333kyaaa #and taehyung was like wow thats a great line to use in a live as monthly fanservice duty #who knows!

[bisexualrapline]

y’all i’m crying you can do this thing on in the seom where you can lift the members up and put them with another member and i’m OBSESSED

#i keep putting different members together and i’m crying #the taekook one had me SOBBING THIS GAME IS SO FUCKNG CUTE #IN THE SEOM #VIDEO #BTS

[taehyungfirst]

no one worse than tkkrs and the way they hate jimin for breathing and tkk is to blame

taekook is to blame? for what? for interacting with his bandmate? his friend of 10 years? I need you to be serious and invest your time in a job, or education if you’re a minor

#ask #taekook #if you wanna blame someone why you gotta blame the members that he considers family you guys live in another world

[conartisthaiji]

ok confession: when my friend told me that someone leaked a video of jennie and v holding hands i was internally like “and who the FUCK is that”

#lyz talks #i mean i assumed it was a bts member but like. did i know which one? ofc not #in my defense idk if i can list all 7 bts members like for the longest time i thought taekook was 1 member I WISH I WAS KIDDING

[britishhusbands]

do you believe taekook is real? or just shipping them?

well that's a controversial question.. lol but with regards to the member's relationships in general i would rather not know what they're up to irl and not know things probably cause i have 1D trauma of knowing too much.. if that makes sense lol. my days of analyzing are done.. i just enjoy living in my fantasy land of them being in love with each other idc if they are actually together or not. i think taehyung and jungkook are definitely super close even this hiatus has shown how attached at the hip they are and i think it's super cute.

#but i think the 1D to bts pipeline is real #and there are so many larries who like project the same standards to bts like the western media is the same as kpop/idol media when it's no #like idols are notoriously not allowed to date ANYONE #like even het relationships are looked down upon #unless they're about to get married #and for that even 2nd gen groups are sometimes kicked off their groups cause of it #i think some of the members are definitely not straight #anon #asks #what do you think about taekook? hahaha

[thetaekookcloset]

Hello! I love your blog and probably agree with your thoughts compared to any other tk theories or timeline. Question! Do you have any thoughts about taejin? Interested in your opinion on that ship since it was super popular before, especially during the time when jikook was popular! Also, any thoughts about yoonmin?

“The time when Jikook was popular” lol, you make it sound like an ancient era like I don’t get Jikook tweets recommended to me every day hahaha

Anyway thank you for your kind words!  I’m glad you like the blog.  Sorry for taking forever to respond, I haven’t been on here much lately.

My thoughts on all the other ships are pretty similar to be honest.  I think the members are all close in their own ways.  Every pair has a unique bond, a unique way of relating to each other, and all of them are fun to watch.  As they get different things from each other, I get different things from them too, and it’s one of the most delightful things about BTS.

But I don’t think there’s any indication of any kind of potential romantic relationship between anyone other than Taekook.

My specific thoughts about Taejin are that I think Tae kind of likes to push Jin’s buttons, and sometimes Jin genuinely loses his patience with it but for the most part, he’s really indulgent about it.  They have a really sweet relationship, I think -- one where it’s clear that Tae is like a kid to Jin in a lot of ways, but also one where Taehyung really takes care to show his appreciation for Jin, which is lovely.

Yoonmin I definitely think are interesting, because Yoongi lets Jimin get away with a lot, but also they bicker really often.  At the same time, they don’t really seem to me like two of the “closer” members, for lack of a better word.  I don’t like comparing degrees of closeness between the members, because I don’t think that’s a metric that really makes sense in this context, but hopefully you know what I mean.  While it certainly seems like Yoongi has a soft spot for Jimin, they don’t seem to spend much time together in particular.

Those are my reads on those particular relationships, but like I said, I really don’t see any indications of potential romantic bonds between any of the members except Taehyung and Jungkook.

I hope this satisfies your curiosity if you’re still hanging around!  Thank you again!

Taehyung and Jungkook on Tae's enlistment day, that bangtan bomb video. It's going around x again and it's opening up my wounds again. Not in the sense of missing them as a bts fan, I'm ok now, I got through it and Jin is coming back really soon now. But in the sense of my heart hurting because of the brave faces they put on for eachother with eyes clearly full of pain. It kinda looks like reality sinked in. They were both so busy making content for us till almost the last day and suddenly they are saying goodbye to eachother, the life they share togeher, their family, friends. It's still so painful to watch. And that live Kookie did later on 💔 the way he pulled Tae to his chest, that last hug goodbye, the way Tae looked back while walking away. I'm still convinced Kookie didn't wear his face mask so that Tae could clearly see his face one last time, his big eyes, full of hurt but still so beautiful, still so loving.

Thank you Rain for providing a safe space to get this of my chest 💜

Hi anon!

Whenever I see footage of that Bangtan Bomb or of the live they did with Jm and Namjoon, or anything to do with enlistment my heart hurts so bad. I hate enlistment so very much (not just for Tae and Jk, just in general). I see so much hurt in their eyes...

For me the moment during the enlistment ceremony when Tae turned around and immediately searched for Jk and he then went to him.. it's just... too much almost.

Like many, I've settled into this new situation without them around... and though it still sucks... it's just the way things are right now. But every once in a while, it's still something that hits me hard. The unfairness of people being forced to pause their lives and all that contains... I hate it.

I hope Tae and Jk are doing well and that they found a way that works for them by now.

On a BTS level, I can't wait till Jin's return. I have missed that man so much 😭.

Good morning Storm.

I think TKKrs have ruined Taekook for me. The cute pic that just posted of them with someone at Hobi’s party, or that video that surfaced of them dancing next to each other, I think to myself “so cuuuute”. And then its followed by “eeeesh, what are they going to explode this into”, and then the amount of hate that gets slung by both groups. I hope people know that both Tae and JK would pick Jimin over anyone, including each other. Let the guys have their moments and enjoy it rather then it turning into a freaking war.

Thanks,

J

Good Morning J,

We've interacted on here quite a few times and you seem like a nice cool person from those few interactions. So I'm going to hope that you take what I'm about to say to heart and know I mean it with kindness. 💜

I saw these pictures this morning. And my only response was to gush over their pretty smiles and be jealous of their producer getting 4 entire selcas with them all to himself! And honestly, anything more than that, anything where you feel like anyone is ruining taekook for you, is too far and not okay. When you find yourself starting to resent or not enjoy or only think of the backlash when ANY of the members interact, you need to check yourself and your behavior as a fan. Maybe take some steps back from everything while you process why and how you are feeling that way. And until you can come back to it with the understanding that NOTHING shippers do have any bearing on what the relationship and interactions are between the members. And not enjoying ANY of their bonds (regardless of if said bond is your favorite or not) will have you start bordering with the edge of anti behavior and is how those people you claim ruined a bond for you started out too. Don't go down that path.

You end your comment by saying let the guys have their moment and enjoy it. But can you say that you are giving advice that you yourself need to take as well? You aren't letting taekook have their moment. You yourself are coming here to a blog and bringing jimin into a taekook moment yourself and saying they would pick Jimin over each other. That's really just.... not cool. Let taekook have their moment and enjoy their moment as it is. They aren't responsible for their cultists being lunatics. I 100% understand the frustration tkkrs bring. Because they are horrible people who say horrible things about the other members, especially Jimin. But a reminder post here about how taekook and tkkrs are completely different and your reactions to them should be as well

Would it help if I remind you that ALL shippers can at times suck? If you can enjoy vmin despite the fact that I've seen some vminnies say some really shady awful shit about JK and Jikook, then the same should apply to taekook. Same for if you can enjoy jinkook despite the bullshit they too have said about JM and jikook. Same for some jikookers and the vile shit I've seem them say about Tae and taekook. If you want to DM me, I'd be more than willing to share those things. They aren't as big as a ship group or as loud. But they are there. Just check out report accounts for ALL the members and you can see it. I've even seen namjiners say shitty things about jikook before.

Every shipper group has its bad apples. They aren't all the same and tkkrs are a HUGE major problem. The things they did today are a HUGE major issue and problem. It's disgusting. Something should be done. I hope one day they feel great shame over their whole tkkr experience. But NONE OF THAT has anything to do with taekook, nor should impact how you see or interact with taekook content. If it does, then that's honestly on you and only you. You letting taekookers ruin taekook moments is on you, not them. Let them ruin their own fun. Be outraged at their bullshit. But don't let them impact BTS and your experiences with them. Block them. Curate your timeline. Report them to the company if it's needed and to various SM platforms when that's needed. But STOP searching for what they will say. STOP giving them the attention and reactions they want. Read up about how one should engage with cults if you must too. Lol but don't let their shittiness impact how wonderful the members friendships with each other are.

Sorry if I was harsh. But honestly, with all jkkrs talk about how taekook would hate this and would always pick Jimin. Jimin would HATE seeing this type of message about anyone not enjoying the cuteness of his babies for any reason. Those are his people. He ADORE them. Bet if he saw that selca at some point just adored how happy his babies looked. So can we just refrain from this sort of stuff PLEASE. Can we recognize the difference between ship and shippers. Can we enjoy without bias and without any blockages in our hearts? Please!

Again, sorry if I was harsh. I promise I do understand the frustration we all have with tkkrs and how horrible they usually are. I promise I do. Just please make sure we always keep that seperate from our members.

Thank you. Sorry, but I'll always want to defend taekook too here. And this felt like a needed reminder for EVERYONE. I'm not singling anyone out.
