All Right Bitches Let's Talk About Those Gay Peace Signs
Tumblr media
I have spent some time on this and have consulted with my personal Board of Queer Directors: The ubiquitous Kevin From Itaewon, his boyfriend X, my best butch lesbian GMoney, a drag queen who goes by Ralph, and my enbyqueer friend Logan. I am the straightest person in this conversation okay and that... well. We are not here talking about me today. I sent out a whole random shit-ton of pics. I had text conversations and phone calls and even a come-over-here-look-at-this session or two. We looked. And the upshot is... This is not a gay peace sign. This is a "you're taking a picture I am doing a thing" sign. These are peace signs being done by a gay (probably) man in a not-especially coded way.
Tumblr media
In this picture we have no peace signs but all the gay. There is no actual coding going on but there is no real question either, unless your question is about whether one Jeon Jungkook is going to choke or swallow (behave yourselves). And also whether any of us are meant to survive the Namtiddies:
Tumblr media
Now, this picture has peace signs but they are not queer-coded peace signs, they're just taking a picture peace signs. The only queer coding going on here is, as above, coming from the Jeon-Park household. It was unanimous that jikookery was being actively and explicitly jikooked that day. Although Ralph and Kevin both thought Yoongi might have something to say, and to quote G-Money "I'd date that pretty girl in the silver shirt if she wasn't already halfway gay for that thumbs-up chick"... she likes Texas Red Dirt Country music and 80s hair bands. I don't know what you want me to say.
Tumblr media
Now, the next two pics were unanimously agreed upon by my panel of flaming experts. And the agreement was that there is very likely some coding, or telegraphing to use KFI's words, going on:
Tumblr media
Ralph will tell you that he is a power bottom's power bottom and he is not wrong, he makes a living on it. And he thought this picture was super interesting. Because I really didn't get it. I mean, I GET IT OKAY I get the body language and the eyefucking and the possessive shit. And after this morning's Bangtan Bomb I get it even harder. But Ralphie said that... "Okay these bitches fucking but just in case we didn't know they were a couple and thought they were just hooking up, Jungkook really wants to make it clear here that they are together." And I'm like "the fuck dude to me it looks like Jimin is all up on his dick with the bedroom eyes" and he goes, "Yeah. Looks like it, right. But where are their hands. Who's staring down the camera. Who's flashing the We're Here We're Queer Get Used To It Hand Signal very deliberately, held out in front of him so you don't miss that his other arm is pulling his boy in close to him?" Ralph had really strong feels about this picture. KFI and the rest of 'em had strong feelings about this one:
Tumblr media
We have so much going on here. Finger Guns Jin and Thumbs Up Yoongi and a little of the Namjoon version of the Shoulder Grip on Tae, and none of that apparently means dick to the gay boys and girl and them but my whole board of queerectors all said that this is what a queer coded peace sign photo looks like. SO I'M LIKE WHY EXPLAIN THIS TO ME I NEED TO KNOW. And they said, it's because you can't JUST use a peace sign as code in the absence of anything else. For one thing there is apparently a thing with the thumb and ring finger that is sometimes deliberately used in a coding way. But. There have to be other signals. Taken in combination, we have angled hips together, arms around each other (everyone always wants to know where Kookie's other hand is) and the unabashed camera staredown = HI WE'RE GAY AND TOGETHER PLEASE BE AWARE, apparently. Okay. I mean, I can see it when you put it like that. Kev says this shot is heavily coded and I was like "naahhhh really" and he was like "yes bitch really":
Tumblr media
And I said well, it's a professional shoot, we don't know if they were asked to do them or if they dressed themselves, I mean we kinda do, they apparently chose the outfits. But KFI and X both said look, you go to dress two Korean straight men in couple fits they are not gonna be that calm about it. Like, protests would be made. But protesting is not what is going on here. They like their clothes, they like each other, they like looking like a couple BECAUSE GUESS WHAT and just in case they are gonna look sexy/possessive and happy/leaning into each other about it. OKAY OKAY DAMN. No need to assault me over here. They also mentioned the ring finger touching the thumb thing again. So I guess that's part of how one tells if a peace sign *means* something, I guess. And when I start looking at pics, well. Interesting. I don't know what it is about ring fingers. Hmmm. One of them has Jimin's name on it though.
Tumblr media
Ooohhh, shoulder grip peace sign with the thumb and ring finger all posed properly, I wonder what it could mean when a gay couple acts gay in front of a camera, could they be trying to tell us something? /sarcasm The upshot of this entire educational journey for me is that peace signs in and of themselves are only helpful if you are also picking up the other stuff that is being put down for you. Like, they're fine, clue us in a lil bit if you can't like kiss or something. But if you're gay and in the closet and you just want people to be absolutely sure and your hand on your man's ass isn't getting it done, well look no further than your trusty peace sign.

My Real Favorite Moment of 2021
Because let's be honest, I feel like hardly anyone saw this. Those of us who did see it didn't believe it at first. It got almost zero traction on social media. And yet it's one of those Big Gesture Loud Gay things Jungkook does sometimes and when I tell you I was living, kids, I WAS. LIVING. Don't worry, I'mma show it to you. Here's the full video from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, dated May 25, 2021. Watch it all, it's cute and we watch original content in this household for truth and context.
youtube
Yeah yeah fear the double bunny, Koo invented Spock's thingy, someone stole Jimin's pogo stick and Seokjin can summon talk show hosts with his magic double joints. Hobi looks very pretty. We got that part. FF to 3:57. Watch it. Watch it again. Rewind it and watch it one more time, Jungkook focus. Still no? Try this. Don't hit the play button on the .jpgs tho. I mean nothing will happen but we all do that and it always feels dumb when we do. Still shots below:
Tumblr media
Look at Jungkookie. See how everyone else is just buttering toast like good talk show guests? Not our Koo. This double bunny is pointing at... his heart? Himself in general? Looks like his heart, it's on the left, where his heart is. He points not at toast. There is no buttering going on here. (Or anything straight but we're getting there). So then--
Tumblr media
Oh, he has just given up the toast buttering song promo agenda at this point and nobody is paying attention to this like... I know I always say Koo ain't slick but I feel like this one time he kinda was. HE EVEN PAUSES FOR A FULL SECOND just to be sure we're looking because...
Tumblr media
He flies that pointed finger just as gaily as possible (well he couldn't very well point it straight could he) over his right shoulder. At Jimin. Who is not even seeing this are you fucking KIDDING ME? I saw this live and stopped my DVR. I really hope Jiminie caught it on the rewatch, if there was one. BECAUSE JEON JUNGKOOK JUST DID THAT. The rest of the Tannies just doing their jobs and Jungkook is out here in front of God 'n'em pointing out that Jimin has his heart on national American network fucking television AND HARDLY ANYONE SAID BOO ABOUT IT. To this day I have only seen this moment come up a handful of times and people always seem mildly confused. Maybe because it was so fast (it was). Maybe because they were blinded by OT7 beauty (they are beautiful). Maybe they just couldn't believe that Jeon Jungkook, Korea's Sassiest Gay Little Shit (I say it with love) just pulled that off. Personally? I was stunned. AM I CRAZY OVER HERE? Wait, don't answer that. Because legit I have a diagnosis or so, even though I have had a lot of therapy and I don't even take meds anymore. I could use something nice for anxiety but that's beside the point. ANYWAY OKAY FINE I AM POSSIBLY INSANE BUT. I AM NOT WRONG. So while I am very late on a couple of promised posts (I see you shoulder grip and MiniMoni and I am so sorry, my brain sucks, we're still compiling photos over here), this would not leave my brain as one of my favorite Jungkook Gives No Fucks For Your Closet moments ever. You can explain away a lot of stuff but this. This is clear, it is deliberate, it is public, and if you watch it six times and still don't see what I see then I will wear my hat proudly and call it a You Problem. Happy 2022, everyone!

COAC To Own It, or: It's About Damn Time
And it is About. Damn. Time. So let's get it. Just a little reminder of this rehearsal right here:
youtube
Which was at least partly filmed on the same day as this (credit for superior work ethic, gentlemen):
youtube
And then, assuming wardrobe and timing are correct (they are I'm just being a snot) WE HAVE:
youtube
AND OH MY STARS AND GARTERS Y'ALL. This was uploaded later, in a really weird little "oops we're gonna just sliiiide this right past official channels" kind of way. Eyeball the credits of all the linked Bangtan videos and you tell me. But it's my theory that someone - likely Jungkook - wanted this video seen.
And that's NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT WHATEVER IS GOING ON WITH JIMIN, uhhhh.... sir. Young man. Get that *motions vaguely* whole zipper area thing under control. Or turn off the camera... oh. OKAY THEN.
Tumblr media
Y'all can call that a wardrobe problem if it makes you feel less cringey about it. Random Acts of Anatomy exist, though. Still, I kept the sizes small, we don't need stuff getting bigger up in here on today.
Tumblr media
As if that wasn't even enough we also have the FESTA performance of COAC itself within the next 24-48 hours (credit to me please steal it you are welcome):
AND then, roughly the same time frame give or take a day or two depending on the shooting schedule, we have this:
youtube
I had paragraphs written on all this. I had essays and dissertations, kids. I SPENT A WEEK OR SO FILLING PAGES WITH THOUGHTS AND NOTES ON THE CHOREO OKAY. Brian Puspos would have been so proud. Drake himself would have sent me a gift basket. BUT. After looking and reading all my bullshit and looking some more, I decided that sometimes we just need to let the Jeon-Parks speak for themselves. We don't do that enough, just sit back and observe and go "huh" and come up with conclusions that aren't being fed to us. I trust that your eyes work as well as mine.
Sometimes we don't pick up what the boys are putting down. Sometimes the camera cuts away.
And sometimes they put it to filthy, filthy Drake lyrics and dance it out and then UPLOAD IT LIKE THEY'RE TELLING US SECRETS. That's my opinion. You're more than welcome to form your own.

The whole studio thing in jimins birthday live is being brought up again and there’s so many things that ??? About it.
• Hobi wondering why jimin is in jks room (I guess it’s unusual for them to share their private studios and use them for another member to have a birthday decor set up just for one live)
• jimin having no response what so ever to defend himself or give a logical reason Aka no space, jk let me as it’s quiet. (neither did jk) no effort was given in that response.
• Hobi GIVING them an explanation for them
• Hobi seemingly teasing jimin for it? Sadly we couldn’t see jks reaction at all
• why did Hobi want jimin to move to his studio? What’s wrong with jks all of a sudden?
• the public space excuse….boy really shot themselves in the foot with that one. That room is the equivalent of a safe. Literally only jk (and now presumably jimin) knows the code to it and it’s named HIS studio. Probably the least public space in the whole building considering even Hobi didn’t know the code
Indeed. Truth above, go have you a look.
Here’s the thing. I don’t think anyone Bangtan-adjacent is truly in the dark. Maybe contractually obligated under an ironclad NDA but honestly, the Jeon-Parks have been an open secret for years. Plural. More than three, even. And if anyone has been at Gay Relationship Drama Ground Zero with them, Hobi has absolutely been there. I think he is one of their strongest supporters.
Tumblr media
Bangtan knows been knew has known. I think any surprise on Hobi’s part had more to do with the audacity of those damn kids being all out in public than any real shock that Jimin was in Jungkook’s studio. He was giving them both a little hell and maybe even dropping a hint or two for the rest of us.
Long story short, you’re right anon. The Jeon-Park household is ready to set the world on fire and they look a little pleased about it. Burn it down, gentlemen. Burn it down.
