i cant stop thinking about how this album seems to tell a whole story. it feels like it begins with astro lost & not knowing who to turn to in times of struggle anymore, and in the end coming back to aroha and regaining their full trust in us.

Start - 너잖아 Always You

“It was so hard / Before I could stand before you / I shed tears out of fear / That we won’t see eachother anymore” ; astro fears that they won’t see aroha anymore, they express the difficulties they had.

“Are you still there? / In these times that were hard to endure // I’m alright though I was alone / But if you disappear, I can’t endure alone” ; astro wonders if aroha is still there for them. they share how aroha was emotional support for them, but they can’t have that if we disappear. they are lost and unsure of their present & future. who’s there for me? what will happen? when will i see them again?

너의 되에서 By Your Side

“I say that I will give to you unconditionally / But compared to those words / There isn’t much that I have done for you, I’m sorry” ; the members begin to feel guilt. they feel that they haven’t done enough for aroha. they feel they are at fault for not being able to come back and blame themselves for the people who left them.

“If this is the last / Even so I still can’t give you up / I will be by your side, behind you / Always” ; astro realizes that they are beginning to lose touch with some fans. they watch those people from behind as they walk away from them. even though they’ve walked away, astro will always be looking out for them and will never give up.

외친다 Call Out

“I still can not give up I’m here / I am only calling you / When will I reach you? / The voice that resonates toward you / In my earnest prayer I want only you / Please answer me.” ; from behind, astro calls out to those people. like in By Your Side, they say they can never give up on those fans. every single one is important to them.

“I’m still crying now. / If you can see it once, / If I can hold you again / If only I could”

Stay With Me

“All day long / I want to hold you / For you / My world All you want / I try only for you / For you, my love for you / You’re my only” ; a message to aroha. they love us so much. they try so hard for us. they put their all into their work and show us their unconditional love through every action.

“This world without you / I can not imagine” ; they feel without aroha they’re nothing. they are asking us to stay with them. they need us.

End - Real Love

“The moment you call my name / The entire world seems to come to a halt” ; now instead of astro calling after those who walked away, those who stayed call for them. this appears to be a turning point in the story. it now feels like astro & aroha are communicating with eachother once again, after astro not being able to find us for so long. kind of like this call out from aroha has shaken them back to reality.

“At some point you became the pillar of strength inside me / I get nervous without you / You became my safe place / Thank you, I’m not exhausted because of you” ; just like in Always You, they express how aroha is emotional support for them. they express why those who left impacted them so much. without us, they grow anxious and tired. we are their strength.

“When the ordinary me becomes special / When everything special becomes familiar / This is real love.” ; astro expresses their relationship with aroha. when with aroha, they feel special and everything feels right. they are okay because they still have aroha, the aroha who stayed with them through their struggles without even knowing.

“Yes this is love”

ASTRO Members as Teachers

KIM MYUNG JUN (MJ)

- Probably would be a health teacher

- Why? because he’s a ray of sunshine that improves everyone’s physical and mental health

- I don’t know about other people’s health class, but our health classes used to be lit

- There would be tiny uplfiting sessions and we’d all be super positive and supportive of each other

- MJ would probably do that because he wants everyone to be happy

- that is all, thank you for your attention

PARK JIN WOO (JIN JIN)

- Let’s go with science

- Because he’d probably just tell everyone to blow up stuff up (responsibly and with a fiery passion)

- Just don’t let him teach sexual reproduction

- NEVER let him teach sexual reproduction

LEE DONGMIN (CHA EUNWOO)

- Literature teacher

- He’d probably try to be really proper and teach really good because he wants to be a good teacher

- Eunwoo in a suit looking fine as hell would keep the students paying attention

- Which would be a good thing because they’d subconciously be listening to him as he teaches

- He’d probably be those teachers that would give you homework for your own good and everyone would be okay with it

MOON BIN (BINNIE)

- History teacher

- He’d be really passionate about history

- Probably willing to fight any student that disagrees with him on something

- “LISTEN HERE OKAY. HAMILTON IS A LITTLE PIECE OF-”

- The other teachers wouldn’t be worried though because at least the students would be engaged and paying attention

PARK MIN HYUK (ROCKY)

- Dance/Music teacher

- This is obvious, isn’t it? MINHYUK IS AMAZING AT DANCING AND WILL PROBABLY HELP STUDENTS COMPOSE SONGS!!

- Whenever a student would be struggling, he wouldn’t put them down but help them in every way he can because he knows that practice makes perfect and you can’t do anything properly the first time unless you work hard for it!!

- He’d also probably add a few “how to dab” classes here and there just for the laughs

YOON SAN HA (SANHA)

- Sanha the art teacher!!

- He’d be the cool laid back art teacher that would accept fanart

- TRIPS!! TO!! THE!! ART!! GALLERY!!

- He probably wouldn’t give out too much homework because he doesn’t want to put his students through a g o n y

- Teaches his students photography so at any time he looks good at school he can just ask one of his students to take an aesthetic photo of him

- Sanha strikes me as a person who’d draw memes on the board to brighten his student’s day (My art teacher did that hahaha)

Masterlists: BTS  // ASTRO

[simplyaroha]

Jinjin, screaming: YOURE A LYING, CHEATING PIECE OF SHIT. YOURE NOT THE MAN I MARRIED!

MJ, screaming louder: FUCK YOU FINE. WE’LL GET A DIVORCE! IM TAKING THE KIDS

Eunwoo: *slides the monopoly board away* I think we should stop playing now

[simplyaroha]

ASTRO as My Favorite Aesthetics

Jinwoo/JinJin

galaxies/stars/space

the bright colors and stars shining against the depth of space

those clear nights where you could spend hours counting the number of stars in the sky

sometimes, in certain places, you can catch the faintest glimpse of Andromeda

just the wonders and mysteries that space brings

bc Jinwoo constantly has stars in his eyes

Myungjun/MJ

kawaii/japanese/anime

that youthful and joyous feeling (the same one you get when you hear Myungjun’s laugh)

almost everything is bright and perfect, with cherry blossoms and pretty food and sunsets

but there is that darker/mature side, with neon signs and old temples

pleasing to the eyes

makes a lot of people happy, but can seem weird/unusual to those who are judgmental/close-minded

Dongmin/Eunwoo

soft/pale/nature

features a lot of nature and flowers

calming and relaxing, what you seek when you’re stressed or overloaded

minimalistic

whenever you see it, you can’t help but get drawn in, even for a moment

refreshing, just like Eunwoo’s visuals damn

Moonbin

boyfriend/domestic

gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling inside and makes your heart flutter

makes you smile whether you need it or not, because it’s just so damn precious - like Moonbin’s own smile omg

you feel like you’re falling in love for the first time all over again, dizzy and confused in the best way possible

happiness lighting up your entire face, that “youthful glow”

Minhyuk/Rocky

indie/grunge/alternative

dark and intimidating looking, but is actually sensitive

obsessed with nature and rain, and the feeling that rainy days give

the way the atmosphere gets a tad thicker and you can actually smell the rain coming

someone who is misunderstood a lot, which they either love or hate

tries really hard to seem like whatever they do is effortless

honestly just look at the gif…he fits it perfectly

Sanha

rainbow/vaporwave

glitchy and trippy, catches your eye and can be a bit in-your-face

soothing and hypnotic, similar to Sanha’s voice honestly

is very unique and has it’s own feeling and vibe

the colorful version of indie/grunge/alternative aesthetic
