Riddle Rosehearts

Warning: It's very long; mentions of his mom & his upbringing

Unedited

Affection

How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?

Riddle is fairly affectionate - behind closed doors.

Don't get him wrong, he'd love to flaunt his relationship with you but there are a lot of reasons he has to keep it relatively secret.

Aside from the fact that if his mom found out he was dating someone she didn't pick out for him, she'd flip, he's a bit shy and would prefer to keep something so dear to him private. The whole school doesn't need to know something that's his business.

Definitely the type to convey affection through gift-giving and quality time as he's a fairly busy guy. The gifts show that despite him not being around a lot, he thinks of you often. The quality time shows that he's willing to push his schedule around for time together and greatly treasures moments spent in your company.

On the off chance, he'll use words of affirmation. Riddle is eloquent and knows how to work a conversation, however, when it comes to you, his genuine feelings make his vocabulary turn into that of a elementary school child. So, in this case, he usually does so in the heat of the moment.

Personally, I believe Riddle is the type to get nervous about physical touch and will remain strictly polite in that regard. Basically, he'll only kiss your knuckles or link pinkies until he gets more comfortable - just give him some time and he'll be able to kiss you or hold your hand confidently.

Best friend

What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?

Riddle isn't exactly a mom friend, that's reserved for Trey, but he's definitely a parent friend. He has a... "doting" nature in that he'll consistently remind you to do things or about an upcoming assignment or-

And, if you fail to listen to him, he gets pretty ticked off about it. In an angry, tomato way.

He's also pretty socially inept. Maybe not on the level of Malleus, but he is to an extent. His mother only taught him how to be formally polite and how to work his way around people as a leader - not so much how to make friends with people his age. He can read books but they won't ever prepare him for the nosy, talkative, but oddly dutiful student that is his desk mate.

For once, he doesn't really mind a group project. He knows you do your part and that you're... somewhat invested in classwork. After realizing how hardworking you are, he definitely tries to interact with you outside of class - it's up to you whether or not you'll accept his invitation to Heartslabyul's upcoming Unbirthday Party.

Cuddles

Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?

Once again, Riddle can get pretty nervous at the thought of physical touch due to how he lacked much physical affection growing up. Give him some time to grow confident and he's all for cuddling.

He's pretty strict about what time he goes to bed, so you'll have to either be in bed before him or join him after he falls asleep. He'll be pretty stiff, not because he dislikes it, so be sure to ask if it's okay with him first.

Sure enough, Riddle has a bit of a height complex. He'd prefer being the big spoon when cuddling, but if you aren't satisfied with that arrangement, he doesn't mind being the little spoon. He understands that cuddling is supposed to be comfortable for both parties and he doesn't mind if you're happy.

Domestic

Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?

I doubt he's thought of settling down at all, actually. Most of his thoughts are taken up by dorm leader duties and the troublesome duo of freshmen in Heartslabyul.

But on the off chance that he has thought about, the short answer is no and the long answer is a solid maybe because the idea of being with someone who can support him in his endeavors to change and also accept him for who he is has become very appealing but he knows the act of finding that person is difficult and once he does, that the extension of trust is scary.

Riddle is neat and organized, so cleaning is something he's rather good at. He barely procrastinates, more like he thinks about it then never does, so he always has a clean room and a clean bag and a clean- well, everything is pretty clean around Riddle.

As for cooking... he's trying to learn. He's never been allowed to cook for himself before NRC, so this is his first try at it, but give him enough time and he's bound to master it!

Ending

If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?

This can go multiple ways. You break up with him or he breaks up with you because his reaction is fairly different.

If you were to break up with him, he'd be heartbroken for sure but would respect it. At first, he'd fumble around and ask why before naturally assuming it's his fault.

But Riddle breaking up with his partner? It's a slow affair. The worst part of falling in love with a person, he notes, is losing that connection. He still assumes it's his fault and attempts to do better by reforming that connection.

If that doesn't work out, Riddle's the type to have a serious, mature conversation about it. He tries to go about it in a way that doesn't cause distress to either party, but relationships are always going to be stressful no matter what.

Fiance(e)

How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?

Commitment scares him. Greatly. It's not so much the idea of committing to someone but the idea of that someone wanting to separate after discovering what he's really like. He always goes back to his own parents and their separation, how his father left once he was born because his mother changed.

But, he's willing to try and change his ways, face his fear, especially for someone he cares so much about.

Definitely the type to savor the relationship. He's also the type to do things in "order." It's the way he was raised, propriety and all that. In other words, he's the type to take his time in the dating stage before then spending a lot of time planning out how to propose and such. I believe he takes so much time dating because he wants to confirm that the person he's dating is the one.

Gentle

How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?

I see Riddle as a generally nice person. In all his interactions with people outside of Heartslabyul, he's fairly polite. It's only toward those in his dorm that he's so strict with. Even then, you're his partner. While you may not be an exception to the rules, he's a little bit lenient with you. By a little, I mean it. He won't take that much rule-breaking from you either.

Physically, Riddle is actually very gentle. This is the same person whose hobby is taking great care of hedgehogs, I think he's also the type to be very gentle with people or things he views as important.

Emotionally... Riddle tries his best. He's rather blunt with his opinions when he decides to voice them but he has modesty, he knows when to speak and when not to. I think Riddle has been taught to read the room pretty well, but if he thinks a sensitive topic needs talking about, he will bring it up at the most opportune moment without hesitation.

Hugs

Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?

Personally, Riddle's receiving love languages are physical affection and quality time. While he's stiff towards giving or receiving hugs, he does come to enjoy them, mostly because of his upbringing.

There's a struggle here actually because I believe that Riddle's likes receiving any love language because of how love-starved he is. I don't think anyone has showed him genuine affection in any manner before NRC, so he craves it. (I'm going to beat his mom for him I swear to GOD-)

Hugs from Riddle are sparse in occurrence, usually happening during more vulnerable moments behind closed doors. They don't happen frequently, but when they do, there is a lot of unsaid feelings conveyed. For Riddle, physical affection makes him stiff but it's fairly special to him.

Once again, a lot of unsaid emotion is conveyed with Riddle's hugs. You can truly understand how he feels when he hugs you. If he wraps his arms a bit tighter and digs his head into your shoulder, he wants to anchor the moment in his mind - remind himself that he deserves this and that he will change to become better and that he is nothing like his mother.

Otherwise, hugs are used to communicate how much he's head over heels for you, so you know you've got him when he hugs you quite a bit.

I love you

How fast do they say the L-word?

Riddle probably stutters over every other word trying to say it and he knows he will before he attempts to say it to you, so it takes him a while to say he loves you.

Besides, he wants to see if he truly does before saying anything. He doesn't want to give the impression that he's dragging you around for fun or for curiosity purposes. He's very considerate to the other person's feelings in context to his own and that's way he waits a bit longer than most to admit his love. However, even if he doesn't say it, it's pretty obvious in his actions.

Jealousy

How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?

I don't believe Riddle is a jealous person. He understands that you may be just as busy as him and have friends outside of your relationship.

In Riddle's mind, he decided to trust you the minute he realized he loved you. He's the type to doubt, but only himself and not you. Riddle knows that in order to have quality time together, communication is needed, so there shouldn't be a lot of room for jealousy.

I think the one time Riddle would feel envious is when, or if, you talk about other people in a very loving manner. This can apply to real people, like celebrities, or fictional characters. He's especially jealous when it's during a date or your private tea parties.

Kisses

What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?

He's such an awkward boy in the love department. So if you're into that or into taking the lead for the earlier stages of a relationship, he's definitely your type.

Chaste. That's it. A simple peck. He can't do anything more or he'll combust. This is the same person who cannot handle hugs in public, he can barely handle kisses in private.

The knuckles or cheek is where he prefers to kiss. The former is definitely more suited for times when Riddle wants to show affection but there are people around. The latter is quick but heartfelt, a nice way to greet or say goodbye to his partner.

Give him a kiss on the cheek. One that's gentle and you slowly pull away. He'll crumble. Or give him a kiss on the hand. He'll explode into a bright red that's the same color as his hair.

Little ones

How are they around children?

Bad.

Riddle has generally no experience with children. He doesn't exactly know what to do with them, and therein lies the problem.

A lot of the times, when Riddle doesn't know something, he seeks out a lot of knowledge on it. Someone who knows better or books are his go-to.

For the time being, Riddle would try to avoid interacting with kids because he doesn't want to show how inadequate he is. Then, when he feels he's good enough, he'll be okay with children around.

He's not asking for it though. He'll only really interact with a child if circumstances called for it, not so much out of choice.

Morning

How are mornings spent with them?

Chaotic and busy is the only way to call a morning with Riddle.

He gets up an appropriate time for a dorm leader: early. There are things to get done and it mustn't be done carelessly. And once he gets up, the dorm grows quite noisy as people move around doing their tasks for the morning.

He tries not to wake you up at first, especially early on in the relationship, as a courtesy because he knows you don't need to wake up as early as him. However, he'll wake you up when you should start getting ready - it all depends on your morning routine and how long that takes.

If you're an early riser like him, he would actually enjoy getting ready together. Like, standing side-by-side in the bathroom trying to straighten hair out and him helping you tie the bow or tie of your uniform. Trey would barge in at some point to check your teeth, don't ask.

If you're more of a night owl, he understands and will let you sleep a little longer. But he will not hesitate to make your morning miserable and yank the blanket off of you. He'll even keep watch to make sure you don't go back to sleep.

He still fixes your uniform (this is for me because I cannot tie laces, bows, or ties uniformly and to have this man fix my uniform is just- can you imagine him being that close to you like he was in book two because I can and I-) and Trey still checks your teeth.

Night

How are nights spent with them?

Once again, Trey checks your teeth. Don't ask.

Nights are a lot more calmer. Partially because everything for the day is ending and Riddle doesn't have to corral an entire dorm.

If you go to sleep early, you get to do your night routine with him! If you have products you need to apply on your face, or any other general routine, he'd help you apply it. If you tie up your hair or anything, he'll also help you do parts you can't do on your own.

If you go to sleep late, please say goodnight to him. And please keep the lights off when you get ready to sleep, or just be quiet in general. Those are his only rules.

But you could also give him a little kiss before you vanish into the night...

Before inevitably coming back lmao.

Open

When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?

Definitely the type to wait. There are some things he's okay with telling immediately off the bat but other things... not so much.

Riddle is largely a private person, he has a lot of things he builds up quietly without telling anyone despite how quick he is to go off the rails and cast his unique magic at rule breakers.

But once he starts getting a little more comfortable, giving more physical affection is a great sign of this, he is more willing to share.

Just ask in a private space and allow him to take his time preparing the words to say, and he'll tell you.

Patience

How easily angered are they?

Uh.

Lmao, I said something about it in the last section but.

Riddle is well-known for his short-temper, so it's best to avoid breaking a rule unless you want your magic gone and Riddle to pop a vein.

I think it's pretty obvious why Riddle is so quick to anger when it comes to rules or making fun of his height. He's been raised to take roles of authority, and to have that authority threatened is a direct threat to him as a person, so he reacts the best way he knows how: anger.

Otherwise, I think with certain things he's actually very patient. Particularly to animals. He respects animals a lot and takes his time with them. He probably finds them easier to deal with than humans.

Quizzes

How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?

Riddle is attentive. End of story. Other than his temper, I think Riddle's attention to detail is one of his more obvious characteristics. Many people comment on how picky he is, like in Alchemy where he cannot be a millimeter off in measurement.

To details, to facts, to pretty much everything he comes across he sorts away into his head. His memory is pretty fucking good. Like, he memorized 810 rules plus a bunch of academic material and has dorm leader responsibilities on top of that.

So he also remembers a lot about you. Of course he does. You're someone he cares about greatly, why wouldn't he memorize everything you mention?

Remember

What is their favorite moment in your relationship?

The moments that happen on slower days. Usually off campus. Which is to say, both occurrences are pretty rare.

Riddle has grades to maintain, a club he participates in, and dorm leader stuff to attend to. He's, and I've said this many times, very busy.

And Heartslabyul is plenty chaotic for there to be a day that's calmer than usual.

So, for there to be a moment between the two of you where you're either far from the classrooms and other people, or entirely off campus, he cherishes it a lot.

There's no rule breakers, no schoolwork, nothing to interrupt whatever thing you're talking excitedly about and there's nothing to interrupt him happily listening. And vice versa!

Security

How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?

I'd think Riddle is someone who can identify danger pretty well. He's got a good head on his shoulders and can gauge whether you're in a situation you can handle or not based on your abilities.

So, I'd say he's not too overprotective with dangerous things. He understands when to step in and when not to.

It's more tiny, mundane things he's protective over, actually. He probably worries more about how much time you spend staring at the blue light of your phone or how much time you spend studying.

He trusts that you know your limits, but to ease his worries, he asks how everything is every once in a while. Just a general, "How are you feeling?" Or, "How are you?" He probably asks it every day, it's his own way of watching over you.

Riddle doesn't necessarily need protection unless, again, it is certain danger he cannot escape. However, he'd probably need "protecting" from himself.

This boy runs himself into the ground without ever stopping, like at all. He juggles so much without so much as showing he's struggling, but he does every once in a while. So, you become his clutch when he needs it.

If you see him becoming stressed or overworked, whether he notices or not doesn't matter, you get him to take a step back and take a break until he feels better.

You guys just protect each other from your bad working habits. Like, just mental wellness checks on both sides.

Try

How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?

Try? Riddle only knows the word succeed.

How much effort? Um, all of it.

You have no idea how to top half the things Riddle does but he swears everything you do is just as amazing even though he literally goes above and beyond each time.

With dates being the few times you get genuine alone time together, he tends to be a bit more invested in it. He wishes for every date to be amazing and to be perfect, even if a perfect date means it not going according to plan. He understands that time well spent together is what matters to you, and it matters greatly to him as well. Other times, you'll plan the date and it'll usually be less planned out but just as fun!

Anniversaries... are a whole different ballgame, however. Depending on how you are, an anniversary may be a date at home spent doing whatever or it might be a dinner date or a amusement park date or a-

He wants to focus entirely on what you've been saying you want to do. So if you simply want to stay in bed and do nothing, even though he itches to be productive, he'll do it. If you want to try your hand at cooking with him? Well, he wants to do that anyways, so he's happy with that. Of course, if you want to plan it, he'll allow you to. But he expects as much effort in the date that he'd put into it, so good luck!

Once again, gifts are one of his mains ways of communicating affection, so he may splurge a little - but only if you're okay with it. Otherwise, he'll go for more handmade things. Generally, he gives gifts that may remind you of him, or gifts that remind him of you. It's a way of being together when your schedules don't align.

I feel Riddle's going at 100% all the time no matter what. So for everyday tasks you guys get up to (👀 the domestic life), he tries to be prepared. If you want to study, he won't mind going over previous material you didn't understand. If you want to cook with him, please remember he's also a bit of a beginner. If you want to take care of the hedgehogs, he'll show you everything he knows.

Ugly

What would be some bad habits of theirs?

Another uh moment.

Perfectionism. I have to bold and italicize it.

His worst habits are probably overworking (I think Riddle actually has great understanding of when it's time to put work down but won't because of responsibility thus him being pretty stressed) and perfectionism.

He's always going 100% so he expects the same of everyone else. He's always on top of things and he expects the same.

Sometimes, his tyrannical behavior slips out and he has to breathe before correcting himself. It's a bad habit cultivated from trauma, so you have to bear with him trying to heal. In which becoming more tolerable of imperfection is a way of healing because that means accepting that he's not perfect, that being imperfect is fine.

Vanity

How concerned are they with their looks?

He always strives to maintain his public image due to his position as dorm leader, and public image includes physical appearance.

He wakes up and tries to get as neat looking as possible, always checking that his uniform is tidy and clean before leaving his room.

Otherwise, he sees no personal attachment to his physical appearance. Except for maybe height. He might have a bit of a height complex. Or a general problem with how "small" and "fragile" he looks. Although, most people understand he's tough as hell so it doesn't get to him that often.

Whole

Would they feel incomplete without you?

Well. Duh.

Of course! He's placing all this trust in you. All of his care and attention is being given to you. He doesn't get into a serious relationship like this willy-nilly. He has spent time sorting through his feelings and came to the realization that he loves you.

It isn't so much a sense of being incomplete. Riddle is his own complete person, he knows, but it's more of a desire to have someone who understands completely by his side. Someone who, even if they don't know, they will trust him and will understand his actions, who he is, and who he's trying to become.

So, while he may feel whole with or without you, he'd probably feel better not being whole if that meant you staying was guaranteed.

Xtra

A random headcanon for them.

Riddle has rough hands.

Due to his appearance, it seems like he'd have soft hands. And he'd probably try to maintain having softer hands because of appearance bring important to him.

But this man probably writes a fuck ton. And he does do horseback riding.

The gloves might protect his hands but I doubt his hands are as baby as his face.

Yuck

What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?

Generally speaking, this applies to anyone including potential partners, but he greatly dislikes people who are rude and or childish. Not so much rule breakers, but people who are disrespectful and act younger than they are typically break the rules.

While he's now more open-minded, he still has great dislike for people who show a lot of disrespect.

Zzz

What is a sleep habits of theirs?

I feel like Riddle runs hot when he sleeps (fire is his magic specialty, c'mon) so he tends to kick the blanket off him in a tired fit.

He also can't cuddle for too long. Unless you run cold, then he'd be fine.

Oddly enough, he doesn't seem to move that often if he feels fine. It's just him aggressively kicking the blanket to get comfortable.

“I'm still holding out hope that's it's all pr, but if it's not, then I'm just upset at the FS. I just wish kpop would stop doing it with how homophobic they are”

you didn’t comment on this part of anons ask so i’m not sure how you feel about it but i just wanted to give my opinion bc this ask rubbed me the wrong way.

to start because i don’t want to get misconstrued, kpop definitely does do fan service and baiting (i’m not saying queer baiting because real ppl cannot queer bait). and while imo it’s up to the fan to realize they’re being baited (not in every situation bc some ppl are good at manipulation)- especially in todays climate - and fan service isn’t always bad as long as the idols aren’t intentionally trying to trick you into thinking they’re together, it’s still definitely annoying and irritating because so many of these straight idols end up being homophobic but are participating in fan service and baiting. and of course the companies and kpop world root for baiting and fanservice but then turn around and be homophobic and not even allow idols to come out. a lot of korea in general too of course. then you have the straight fans who love the idea of their idols being gay for each other but then are homophobic and unsupportive of gay ppl irl.

so yes i definitely agree with the last sentence of anons message BUT calling taekook fanservice/baiting just rubbed me the wrong way. now don’t get me wrong i’m not saying they aren’t together but in this case let’s just hypothetically assume taennie gets confirmed tomorrow and taekook ends up not being real, that does not mean taekook was all fanservice/baiting and they’re bad for doing it. if we’re simply looking at it from a taekook isn’t real perspective (bc i know most here believes they are but just for this hypothetical in response to what anon was saying. i know i’m repeating myself a lot but i just want to make sure you get I’m not actually denying taekook) taekook have never done anything to suggest they’re together. looking at tae’s support of lgbt+ artists and hints that you take as him confirming he is or hints or videos you take as confirming taekook is real are simply how you took things in your own perspective. they’ve never done explicit baiting or fan service. they’re close and showing how close they are isn’t wrong and they aren’t at fault for what fans assume. it’s also not like taehyung has not said to “get out of your imagination” before - you cant say they tricked you purposely. what i’m trying to say is if taekook ends up being fake it is not the fault of taekook you assumed they were. yes idols often do stuff like that but taekook never have.

i hope anon and you get what i mean !!

Hi anon!

Thank you for your input. I don't think I'll agree on everything you've said, but let me cut up your ask in smaller sections a bit to discuss. I'm probably going to rant a little.

you didn’t comment on this part of anons ask so i’m not sure how you feel about it but i just wanted to give my opinion bc this ask rubbed me the wrong way.

Yeah, I try not to invalidate anyone's feelings. If someone's upset they can't really help it, even if the reason behind it might be based on bias/misinformation/whatever. I try to ease peoples mind by explaining pr-tactics, bodylanguage etc... more tangible stuff. And it's very complicated matter. There's fanservice, skinship, real connections... all those are mixed together and all of them can co-exist. I was confused about the differences between those at first as well. South Korea being very different from my own culture made this really hard to disect. So I understand why fans are confused about this. Especially with SK being homophobic and shipping between members being... normal. A lot of Kpop's standards are weird to me (being from Europe). I have a big problem with the constant mentions of dieting for instance. Young girls are so impressive and having your idols mention being on a diet so often seems wrong to me. The obvious homophobia is a big NONO. Idols not being able to date in general.... not great although maybe it does at first give them more privacy, but the backlash they get when they do get caught dating, wow! So yeah, not everything is great imo. I am very much aware though that cultures differ, and things that are weird to me are normal to them (the enlisting for instance, I've seen many fans angry at the SK govenment for having idols enlist... and it is very sad.... but then again, most of us do not live in a country that is always in a tense situation with their neighboring country, so we don't know what that feels like). I think SK is slowly catching up, but change takes time... and for a whole culture to change even more time.

There being fanservice in Kpop is not debatable. There is, plain and simple. I feel anyone who has been a fan for an extended time is aware of this. I feel most of army who aren't in an actual shipping part of fandom are real quick to point to every single act of intimacy as fanservice. The way I see it is that they make use of fanservice and skinship a lot to justify physical interactions between members. The over the top grand moments are fan service and the more subtle moments they are able to classify as skinship (which is way more normal in SK than in my country for instance). Fanservice isn't bad. Most bands and artists do fanservice, some just do it more naturally than others. Fans should know that not everything an artist does is his/her/their natural behavior... not everything is spontaneous. Artists go through media training and probably also through training to make them appeal to fans more. I use Jk's flirting in lives as an example of learned behavior, because to me those flirty comments (although hilarious) seem prepared/learned. I do think for younger fans this is hard to understand at first though. You don't want to think of your idol as someone who 'tricks' you with their learned pr-behavior. You want to feel connected on a personal level, so you ignore the business side of things. It's happening now too. I'm calling out certain pr-tactics (which is normal for any artist) and yet I get hate for it. Artists always (!) come with a portion of business, they aren't able to do what they do without it. I’m not sure fanservice is supposed to look ‘queer’, I often feel the intent initially (in kpop) was to make it look obvious that it’s fanservice, but some artists just have such great chemistry that it’s easy for fans to start believing it. And once that seed has been planted, it’s hard to get rid of. But having a ‘ship’ alive and thriving isn’t actually bad for business, so labels probably don’t mind much (and might even encourage). It keeps the ships alive, but there will always be enough of army to immediately call "Fanservice" to 'defend' their artists.

I think you are trying to say that Tae and Jk have never done anything to blatantly state that they are together. They have not been obvious about it, so us interpreting situations would have been us interpreting things wronly and therefore we are to blame for misunderstanding (did I understand you correctly). I do agree that they haven't intentionally been obvious about it. I feel very strongly that they do not intent to out themselves and that they even try to protect their relationship from being outed. There have been many moments that I feel their feelings were obvious, but we weren't supposed to pick up on those. In general, because at times they might have felt a bit more bolder, I think they want us to think they are really close friends. I do also feel though, that Tae and Jk have done fanservice (so maybe we disagree on this a bit). I think things can be both. Jk sitting on Tae's lap during the Las Vegas show to me was both fanservice and them wanting to. It’s like getting to do a part of your job that you really really enjoy. From a business perspective it would also be weird to never have Taekook do fanservice together, because they are obviously close, they are in the top physically affectionate members, and all members do fanservice on occasion. I think these things can co-exist. I feel fanservice comes so easy for Tae and Jk though, they just melt into each other. The way their bodies operate around each other is so lovely to see. Can we be mad about them doing fanservice? No, it's part of their jobs. Can we be mad at fanservice in general? Honestly, it would make fandoms lives so much easier if they were to tone that down a lot. Because it is confusing and it makes fandoms argue amongst themselves. Labels make use of that, because an argueing fandam means it’s very much alive.

they’ve never done explicit baiting or fan service.

I agree on the baiting, disagree on the fanservice. Fanservice is part of the job though, while baiting I would classify to a more personal level.

they’re close and showing how close they are isn’t wrong and they aren’t at fault for what fans assume. it’s also not like taehyung has not said to “get out of your imagination” before - you cant say they tricked you purposely. what i’m trying to say is if taekook ends up being fake it is not the fault of taekook you assumed they were. yes idols often do stuff like that but taekook never have.

Absolutely, they should definitely be able to express their closeness how they want. It's wrong to assume intimate behavior between men can't be romantic, but it's also wrong to assume intimate behavior between two men automatically makes them queer. My believe in Taekook stems from all things combined, the frequency of intimate behavoir, the body language, patterns in behavior, clues about queerness, the way I feel they were being hidden.

I don't know if my answer is satisfying, or comprehensable even... it's difficult matter and I feel I’ve just been babbling here 🙈.

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?

I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?

In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".

Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.

This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.

Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.

The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]

There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.

This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.

As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.

But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?
