Hello, i read your posts about GCFT and while i do see your point and those of some of your anons, i think there is one huge thing you might be missing here. Did you ever consider that it could be possible that Jikook were dating but nobody but them knew about it? Think about it. That would not be an easy thing to tell the other members let alone the company. Also, yes GCFT looks extremely queer coded but how many times have you seen the boys do extremely sus and questionable things and the company doesn’t raise an eyebrow? When you think of some of the things kpop idols are made to do for FS, then you realize that, it’s possible that sometimes they just don’t perceive certain things in Korea the same way we do here. What do i mean? Take Vhope for example, they made them kiss each other as a penalty for losing game. Isn’t it ironic that entertainment industries in a homophobic country make idols do queer coded things with each other for FS? Jk knows this and he could use that to his advantage and the company would think it’s just another day or it’s just bromance. Everytime we see them on stage touching each other, singing to each other and having those weird eye contact moments, every one (except shippers) dismisses those as FS. They already know all of this so don’t u think it’s possible that sometimes they actually hide behind the FS narrative to do what they actually want to do? I wouldn’t have read too much into GCFT if it was just that one. Did u pay attention to GCFS? Did u see what Jk did there with the lyrics and where he decided to place footage of Jimin? Not once, but both time the lyrics “I don’t wanna hide no more, I don’t wanna fight no more, what i found in you is so real” came up, he didn’t place any other member there but Jimin. I would have dismissed it if he did it just for the first chorus but the second chorus, he starts with the sky and blue sea and then we see just Jimin again! Anyone can say what they want but those lyrics were queer coded as hell and nothing will make me believe Jk coincidentally placed Jimin footage in those parts twice. And then we have GCFO, him giving Jimin the most screentime and stopping the music to hear Jimin giggle. Then GCF in Helsinki, the music going upbeat from mellow and starting Jimin scene with beautiful leaves in the fall and then changing the hue to warm immediately Jimin appears on the screen. Common!! . It’s not one thing! It is EVERYTHING put together. Go back and watch all of JK’s GCF’s and see how he hightlights Jimin in almost all the videos. It’s either Jimin is getting the most screentime or he is placing Jimin footage under certain queer coded lyrics or he is changing hues from cold to warm when Jimin comes up, this is too much of a coincidence and we all know that Jk is smart as hell. Why on earth would he continue to do this every single time? I love my best friend but damn….He knew exactly what he was doing. We might not completely understand why he was bold enough to do all those but claiming it was FS or shit like that is comical to say the least. Also, let’s not forget that to JK, this wasn’t about views or about highlighting all the members individually. Why? Because we literally hear RM telling Jk to make a GCF of Tae next time if he wants to get millions of views but Jk doesn’t. What does this tell us? Jk did all that because he wanted to and not cuz he or the company had anything to gain from it. From RM’s statement about V and views, it is safe to assume that they already were aware of V’s power when it came to views or fans so why on earth would the company use GCF to push Jikook? If anything they would have pushed Taekook just like they have been doing for the past two years or so. Taekook and Yoonmin are paired up for literally almost everything.
So many pple use the argument, “if Jikook was real bighit wouldn’t have posted GCF” but that doesn’t make alot of sense when u consider the possibility that bighit might have not known that Jikook were a thing (if infact they were). I don’t think that is something Jikook would have been eager to let the company know about, considering all the risks involved. They were young and hormonal and might have just given in to what they felt but they sure hell would have been aware of the implications so they wouldn’t readily tell anyone. The company encourages bromance between the members and the fact that they also posted the rosebowl earsuck moment on official content should already tell u where they stand! Hell these pple legit posted a clip of Jimin trying to kiss Jk in memories 2020. It’s not alien to them anymore. We may see it as absurd and unbelievable but when u consider all the weird and sus things bangtan get into with each other on a daily basis, what is new? My point is, Jikook probably knew all these and they might have used it to their advantage or kinda like an umbrella. “Everybody will think it’s bromance anyway so let’s indulge ourselves a lil”
One of the reasons why TK shippers kept growing every single day despite the fact that there were little to no TK moments but Jikook flooded everywhere was because they didn’t believe that Jikook would do the things they did if they were actually a couple, considering the circumstances. But they failed to consider the personalities of the parties involved. Jimin as per JK’s own words is “shameless/bold” he is also affectionate, clingy and loving. Jk on the other hand is shy and introverted and only pays attention to what he likes, so he had absolutely no reason making all those videos for Jimin if there was absolutely nothing there in my opinion. It wasn’t one or two but almost all GCF’s highlight Jimin in some way. Jk loves the heck out of all his hyungs but who have u ever seen him putting that much effort into? He does nice and special things for them all every now and then but there is consistency, exclusivity and extra effort in the things he does for Jimin. Think about how till date, only Jimin had an entire GCF dedicated to him, Jimin was the first and only member he gave a bday present to until he was called out, he seems to spend alot of special holidays, couple holidays, birthdays with Jimin and this too has been consistent. He finds ways of doing different and unique things for Jimin like only having a selfie with Jimin on his weverse (yet) and no other single member. Jimin being the first and only member he has posted a birthday video for (yet) even when u look at his tweets for Jimin’s birthday, they were always so different from the way he tweeted for the other members. Even now, see how much effort and attention he paid in watching and reacting to Jimin content and supporting his album. Other members have released albums and been on shows and all but the most we got from Jk was singing their songs on Live. But look at the glaring differences with what he did for Jimin. Man literally sat down for almost two hours watching and reacting to Jimin content, singing his songs on Live and talking about him or making references to him every chance he got. Some idiots claim he is being forced to do FS which is laughable because if u know anything about Jk, he does what he f*uckx wants! The same dude that goes Live unauthorized, who gets tattoos even tho the company doesn’t want it and falls asleep and drinks on Live is the same guy who is forced to do FS? Yea right! From all these actions, i think anyone with a brain and logical thinking can agree that Jimin is special to Jk. I really don’t know the true nature of their relationship, if they are friends, bros or dating each other but Jk sure does pay alot of attention to Jimin. That’s all imma say.
First of all... wow.
Tumblr media
Thank you for this... novel of an ask. I always appreciate a passionate display of an answer. I like to see things from all points of view, no matter how short or long the explanation may be. So thanks for shooting me an ask! But anyways, let me break down the points of your ask to the best of my ability and some of my opinions on the topics at hand. Please bear with me here... if I miss anything, please don't hesitate to shoot me another one!
In this ask I will speak generally, not only about Jikook because I feel as if I've talked about GCF in Tokyo and my personal views on them to death.
BTS and Fanservice
I'm not sure how many of my asks that you browsed through, but I did actually touch on the topic of fanservice (specifically around jikook), as well as the consequences and/or intentions posed by the GCF in Tokyo video, whether it be contextualized in a platonic or romantic sense. I also talk about the holes in arguments that state that BigHit uses certain ships to gain more exposure. I highly recommend reading these so you can sort of see how I feel about some of this stuff. I actually touched on a lot of what you expressed here in this ask, so I'm not going to repeat it all again here!
I don't really believe that BTS does performative fanservice, well at least, not anymore. Perhaps in their earlier days, maybe between their debut in 2013 to late 2016, they totally did. Like you mentioned with Hoseok and Tae, that was nothing short of fanservice; I mean, the outfits, the makeup, the buildup ... we all know it was staged.
Some other examples of early career fanservice would be the Pepero challenge that Namgi did in a 2015 episode three of BTS GAYO, or the boys did the sticky-note-pass game in a Music Bank special for their Fire promotions -- though, to be fair, Yoongi was above the game, ending it prematurely on purpose so they didn't have to go through with it. BTS in the present day has absolutely nothing to gain from corporate fanservice other than a funny laugh or cheer from the audience. For example, Taejin still engaged in some form of fanservice for their section in So What, but seasoned fans understood this to be more of a running gag between the two of them, Jin's ears red with embarrassment for half of the displays. But in their monetized content, variety shows, behind-the-scenes, etc... fanservice really has no reason for existing. These are candid shots, I really don't think BTS are putting their heads together trying to think of all the ways that they can stir up sexual tension in the studio or in their green rooms.
People have even begun to accuse Jimin of inciting fanservice towards Jungkook at Yoongi's Seoul concert. Aren't these antis tired yet?
I understand their relationship to be incredibly precious and close, the boys seeing each other as close siblings, a group of people they can wholeheartedly rely on in times of trouble or anguish. They've gotten permanent, matching tattoos as a testament of love. Long gone are the days of sheepish squeals behind cheek kisses and hugs. These boys show affection towards one another like it's their 9 to 5, completely unfiltered and unadulterated passion.
But of course, love isn't a stagnant label or definition; we also know that each member shares a unique dynamic with another, their love language presenting itself in many different ways.
Tumblr media
Content Quantity = Couple Validity?
As you mentioned, it is believed that many people became Taekookers because of the lack of content, not the other way around. It was just far too suspicious to have this much content of one pairing for them to be legit, right?
Well, this is how I feel about content, whether it comes in the form of a video, a tweet, a photo, a live, a voice message, an interview snippet... etc. I don't necessarily think the quantity of content validates any pairing and/or relationship.
As we all know, vmin are incredibly close, they constantly remind us just how close they are in songs and interviews. But vminnies used to talk about the lack of content containing the two of them, whether it be selfies or lives. I think the gap between the last vmin live to the most recent one was from 2016 (their Osaka live) to 2021 (their post-PTD concert live). They had survived a long drought before seeing the two of them buddied up together on VLive + Jungkook joined them too! This lack of content didn't invalidate their relationship as best friends, nor did it prove that they were any closer unless they explicitly said so.
Fans who use the quantity of content to justify the strength of a relationship truly boggle my mind -- they're usually in the same pool of people who believe that the members don't actually care about one another because they won't send out birthday tweets or messages. Like, up until 2022, they were together for about 95% of the year. Do you really think that they wouldn't wish one another happy birthday? Do you really need to see it in order to believe it? I swear these people won't stop until they live within the pipes of BTS' homes, they just have to have an in on every conversation ever. As someone who has been a fan for a very long time (since 2015), I have come to notice that birthday tweets, selfies, and/or the amount of times a member uses a platform really isn't that important when interpreting their relationship.
It's true that Jungkook has had many Jimin-centered lives this year, some of which delve into much of Jimin's FACE promotional content. I don't necessarily think that just because Jungkook didn't dedicate a live to each individual member and their work, that he cares about their albums less. Obviously, no one is saying that... hopefully. But what I do find sad is that people accused Jungkook of pushing Jimin's content under the guise of fanservice. Stupid as hell. What I find interesting about the whole Jimin Youtube debacle is that Jungkook is watching some more obscure ARMY compilations and collections, which means that they could have been recommended to him based on his watch history.
Okay, so the only selfie Jungkook posted on Weverse was with Jimin. Jimin also has more pictures of Hoseok on his Weverse than any other member. The members used to post pictures of Jungkook and Yoongi for us on Twitter to prove to us that they weren't dead. Jungkook used to post a total of three selfies a year, and each time it sent the platform into complete chaos. Jimin also used to be one of the most active members on social media, only going a few days at a time without posting, and now he's one of the more quiet ones. Who would've thought that Yoongi would become one of the more active members? If you had told me that about four years ago, I would've called you a liar.
The numbers don't really prove much; they don't disprove one relationship or prove another. All of this speculation around the quantity of content is complete and utter bullshit. Of course, we all know it's about the quality of the actual information being expressed within the content that allows us to draw further speculation. This is where we get into the lyrics, usage of color, staging, clip splicing, etc... in Jungkook's personal projects. Since you've already read my post, you know that I won't get too into detail on many of these things because we'd be here forever. It's a piece of art, and you could honestly write an essay over each video as to why you think he utilized certain elements in certain places.
Also, for people who believe that BigHit is cutting out kisses in between cuts... please be serious for one second. Do you think BTS just freely make out on cam with a poor intern having to sit there and watch? Some people truly think that there's an employee out there working overtime in the HYBE building, desperately gripping their mouse as they edit out hours of unsolicited gay porn from their weekly Bangtan Bomb.
If it's not in the video, why even try to speculate what truly happened? People who argue ship suppression through camera cuts have got to be my favorite flavor of delusional shipper. Actually, Becky, I think Jungkook did six burpees in between these two clips!
Tumblr media
Korean Culture, Language, and Interpretation
Now, I am absolutely no stranger to the aspect of another country/culture holding a completely different view or practice. I've lived in two different countries, both of which had some similarities, but mostly had their own distinct way of approaching relationships and everyday life. I would also like to inform you that my major in school focuses on the Korean language -- I'm trying to become a translator. So, I am often taught to study the language through a Korean cultural lens and to understand the small nuances within their language. Does that mean that I'm the most well-informed person to talk about Korean culture and language? No. I might be a little more educated on a linguistic matter, but I still would prefer for others to rely on pure Korean sources -- they'd understand it much better than me.
The concept of misusing Korean culture and the language is something I am incredibly familiar with and aggravated by, and I truly think misinformation spreads like a plague in Western K-pop communities -- especially in shipping ones. The number of headaches I get just scrolling through stan Twitter and seeing non-Koreans and non-Korean speakers spread false information about translations and cultural subcontexts... it's immense.
I still remember the infamous RUN BTS moment where Jungkook calls his mother and Jimin makes himself known to her, earning a sweet and earnest 'I love you' before erupting into giggles and laughter. The moment is incredibly wholesome, but what caught the attention of many non-Korean speakers was the fact that Jimin called Jungkook's mom, Mother. This just had to be proof! Look how close they are! Jimin called Jungkook's mom, Mother! Well.. that's what everyone calls the parents of their friends... School teachers even call the mother of their students Mother. It's true that Jimin didn't use the most polite version of the word, but don't get me wrong, he was still polite. But when Koreans asked the person of this tweet to kindly delete it, they refused, the OP far too happy with the number of likes they had garnered on misinformation. This type of sentiment is prolific in the K-pop community, so I highly recommend verifying translations that come from non-Korean speakers or non-Korean fans!
One of the bigger forms of misuse has to come from the usage of the pet name Baby, or in Korean, 새끼 Saekki. I have seen so many people pass around clips that have the English translation of this word, pointing out how, look! this person called this person baby! they're totally dating! ... 새끼 does translate into Baby, but it doesn't hold the exact same connotation as its English counterpart. 새끼 is often used by older folk towards animals (baby cat, baby dog) or their children/grandchildren. Romantic couples aren't really out here using 새끼 in the most romantic way, but more in a way to express how endeared or how cute they find something. Also, 새끼 can be used as an insult... it's all about context folks! I'm sure you guys have heard the word circulating on TikTok or from the mouths of animated Kdrama protagonists.
Big shipping youtube channels often weaponize the Korean culture and language to push an agenda, often on false pretenses and offensive absolutes. They disguise most of these strange and outright derogatory statements under the guise of analysis. Analysis? Doesn't that require some actual reasoning based on facts? Not just whatever you pulled out of your ass? For example, one of the most famous Taekook channels, taekook--lives, is incredibly guilty of this. Watching their content is like a punch to the stomach, it's incredibly disheartening to see how they utilize South Korean culture as if it's nothing but a game. They also accuse the members of lying, which is also fucking stupid. Are you a BTS fan or not? How far are you willing to drag the boys through the mud in order to keep your fictional storyline of taekook afloat?
(Also this isn't a drag towards taekookers or taekook in general... I know there are a lot of taekookers who don't support taekook--lives and try to avoid their content!)
I will say from what I have observed, Jimin and Jungkook speak very comfortably with one another in many behind-the-scenes and other relaxed content. In interviews or in public places, Jungkook tends to speak up toward Jimin, but when they're alone or with the other members, that's when he tends to loosen it. We all know that they're incredibly close just from this factor alone, but dropping honorifics, as I've stated before, doesn't necessarily prove that they're dating. BTS practice a very soft form of masculinity, even falling outside the bounds of what's expected of a typical Korean man in South Korean society. However, I really don't wish to speak broadly about Korea or Koreans, especially since I've never lived there -- haven't been, not even for vacation. I can only parrot what I've heard from other Koreans, but even then, everyone lives differently and can have differing views when it comes to certain topics.
Tumblr media
Some More Things to Address
I will point out a false fact that you presented with your ask: Jimin is the only member to have received a birthday video from Jungkook. That's not true, Jungkook actually made a specially edited video for Yoongi for his 24th birthday! It's still one of my favorite wholesome Bangtan moments, and it's one of the first elaborate video edits that Jungkook ever posted, predating GCF in Tokyo by a near six months. Does that make GCF in Tokyo any less special? No. Of course not. But it is important to note that Jungkook does do something special for other members from time to time.
Also, towards the end, you said: "If anything they would have pushed Taekook just like they have been doing for the past two years or so. Taekook and Yoonmin are paired up for literally almost everything."
I might need more clarification on this point because it makes it seem like you believe that BigHit is manufacturing or prioritizing certain pairings over other ones. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say that's not happening here, but if it is... I talked about this point very sternly in my FESTA post, where people were accusing BTS' company of promoting certain ships just by having them sit next to each other in photoshoots or videos. If someone looks at a picture of BTS and immediately thinks of a ship, that's a personal problem. Not everything is about shipping. We can agree that we think fan service is stupid and doesn't occur between the members, right? It's not any different for these harmless photoshoots and videos. Jikook, Taekook, and Yoonmin are all incredibly popular already and don't really need the extra promo.
Tumblr media
So whether or not these two boys are dating, we can only speculate. I think it's incredibly difficult to draw conclusions without knowing them personally, of course. At the end of the day, they are incredibly close and their bond should not be questioned. I do appreciate reading into your insight, I hope you didn't mind this sort of ship-neutralish approach where I attempted to express my feelings about everything and nothing at the same time.
I also wrote all of this on like three hours of sleep so if none of this make any sense I'm sorry LMAOOO

Very interesting to me that a certain subset of the BES fandom's favourite iterations of Mizu and Akemi are seemingly rooted in the facades they have projected towards the world, and are not accurate representations of their true selves.
And I see this is especially the case with Mizu, where fanon likes to paint her as this dominant, hyper-masculine, smirking Cool GuyTM who's going to give you her strap. And this idea of Mizu is often based on the image of her wearing her glasses, and optionally, with her cloak and big, wide-brimmed kasa.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And what's interesting about this, to me, is that fanon is seemingly falling for her deliberate disguise. Because the glasses (with the optional combination of cloak and hat) represent Mizu's suppression of her true self. She is playing a role.
Tumblr media
Take this scene of Mizu in the brothel in Episode 4 for example. Here, not only is Mizu wearing her glasses to symbolise the mask she is wearing, but she is purposely acting like some suave and cocky gentleman, intimidating, calm, in control. Her voice is even deeper than usual, like what we hear in her first scene while facing off with Hachiman the Flesh-Trader in Episode 1.
This act that Mizu puts on is an embodiment of masculine showboating, which is highly effective against weak and insecure men like Hachi, but also against women like those who tried to seduce her at the Shindo House.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And that brings me to how Mizu's mask is actually a direct parallel to Akemi's mask in this very same scene.
Tumblr media
Here, Akemi is also putting up an act, playing up her naivety and demure girlishness, using her high-pitched lilted voice, complimenting Mizu and trying to make small talk, all so she can seduce and lure Mizu in to drink the drugged cup of sake.
So what I find so interesting and funny about this scene, characters within it, and the subsequent fandom interpretations of both, is that everyone seems to literally be falling for the mask that Mizu and Akemi are putting up to conceal their identities, guard themselves from the world, and get what they want.
It's also a little frustrating because the fanon seems to twist what actually makes Mizu and Akemi's dynamic so interesting by flattening it completely. Because both here and throughout the story, Mizu and Akemi's entire relationship and treatment of each other is solely built off of masks, assumptions, and misconceptions.
Akemi believes Mizu is a selfish, cocky male samurai who destroyed her ex-fiance's career and life, and who abandoned her to let her get dragged away by her father's guards and forcibly married off to a man she didn't know. on the other hand, Mizu believes Akemi is bratty, naive princess who constantly needs saving and who can't make her own decisions.
These misconceptions are even evident in the framing of their first impressions of each other, both of which unfold in these slow-motion POV shots.
Mizu's first impression of Akemi is that of a beautiful, untouchable princess in a cage. Swirling string music in the background.
Tumblr media
Akemi's first impression of Mizu is of a mysterious, stoic "demon" samurai who stole her fiance's scarf. Tense music and the sound of ocean waves in the background.
Tumblr media
And then, going back to that scene of them together in Episode 4, both Mizu and Akemi continue to fool each other and hold these assumptions of each other, and they both feed into it, as both are purposely acting within the suppressive roles society binds them to in order to achieve their goals within the means they are allowed (Akemi playing the part of a subservient woman; Mizu playing the part of a dominant man).
Tumblr media
But then, for once in both their lives, neither of their usual tactics work.
Akemi is trying to use flattery and seduction on Mizu, but Mizu sees right through it, knowing that Akemi is just trying to manipulate and harm her. Rather than give in to Akemi's tactics, Mizu plays with Akemi's emotions by alluding to Taigen's death, before pinning her down, and then when she starts crying, Mizu just rolls her eyes and tells her to shut up.
Tumblr media
On the opposite end, when Mizu tries to use brute force and intimidation, Akemi also sees right through it, not falling for it, and instead says this:
"Under your mask, you're not the killer you pretend to be."
Tumblr media
Nonetheless, despite the fact that they see a little bit through each other's masks, they both still hold their presumptions of each other until the very end of the season, with Akemi seeing Mizu as an obnoxious samurai swooping in to save the day, and Mizu seeing Akemi as a damsel in distress.
And what I find a bit irksome is that the fandom also resorts to flattening them to these tropes as well.
Because Mizu is not some cool, smooth-talking samurai with a big dick sword as Akemi (and the fandom) might believe. All of that is the facade she puts up and nothing more. In reality, Mizu is an angry, confused and lonely child, and a masterful artist, who is struggling against her own self-hatred. Master Eiji, her father figure who knows her best, knows this.
Tumblr media
And Akemi, on the other hand, is not some girly, sweet, vain and spoiled princess as Mizu might believe. Instead she has never cared for frivolous things like fashion, love or looks, instead favouring poetry and strategy games instead, and has always only cared about her own independence. Seki, her father figure who knows her best, knows this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But neither is she some authoritative dominatrix, though this is part of her new persona that she is trying to project to get what she wants. Because while Akemi is willful, outspoken, intelligent and authoritative, she can still be naive! She is still often unsure and needs to have her hand held through things, as she is still learning and growing into her full potential. Her new parental/guardian figure, Madame Kaji, knows this as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So with all that being said, now that we know that Mizu and Akemi are essentially wearing masks and putting up fronts throughout the show, what would a representation of Mizu's and Akemi's true selves actually look like? Easy. It's in their hair.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This shot on the left is the only time we see Mizu with her hair completely down. In this scene, she's being berated by Mama, and her guard is completely down, she has no weapon, and is no longer wearing any mask, as this is after she showed Mikio "all of herself" and tried to take off the mask of a subservient housewife. Thus, here, she is sad, vulnerable, and feeling small (emphasised further by the framing of the scene). This is a perfect encapsulation of what Mizu is on the inside, underneath all the layers of revenge-obsession and the walls she's put around herself.
In contrast, the only time we Akemi with her hair fully down, she is completely alone in the bath, and this scene takes place after being scorned by her father and left weeping at his feet. But despite all that, Akemi is headstrong, determined, taking the reigns of her life as she makes the choice to run away, but even that choice is reflective of her youthful naivety. She even gets scolded by Seki shortly after this in the next scene, because though she wants to be independent, she still hasn't completely learned to be. Not yet. Regardless, her decisiveness and moment of self-empowerment is emphasised by the framing of the scene, where her face takes up the majority of the shot, and she stares seriously into the middle distance.
To conclude, I wish popular fanon would stop mischaracterising these two, and flattening them into tropes and stereotypes (ie. masculine badass swordsman Mizu and feminine alluring queen but also girly swooning damsel Akemi), all of which just seems... reductive. It also irks me when Akemi is merely upheld as a love interest and romantic device for Mizu and nothing more, when she is literally Mizu's narrative foil (takes far more narrative precedence over romantic interest) and the deuteragonist of this show. She is her own person. That is literally the theme of her entire character and arc.

Strong choice for the Voyager writers to make TNG-Q a misogynistic creep. It didn’t pay off at all and actively made me hate his character but hey, it was strong.
#His comment about Chakotay's tattoo was also kind of racist so that's -chefs kiss- awful#I literally would have murdered VOY-Q myself just to spite TNG-Q#Absolutely no moral dillema in this episode for me sorry Janeway - let the man die he's lived literally since the universe was created#TNG-Q is giving such strong 'I'm not gay bc I love men - I'm gay bc I hate women. We're not the same :)' vibes#Tuvok got promoted to 'ship lawyer' because he's somewhat familiar with asylum practices and approves of suicide ok I love this episode#I really do like this episode even though I hate TNG-Q so much#I really can't believe people ship him and Janeway together...what's going on....#It really did have to be Janeway v Tuvok on this one for reasons I can't describe right now but it's so right#Tuvok's 'I'm as curious as you are Captain' ...the crux of it#this moral dilemma is SO flimsy to me HEHEHE there was a TINGE of maybe SOMETHING when TNG-Q said that since Q are immortal one dying could#have disasterous consequences but then RIGHT AFTER Tuvok was like 'Right.

Anyone else being way too passionate about a shipname of a ship they don't even like???
I don't like the ship because it's the (in my opinion) most boring character in the source material and my fav character (who I also ship with someone else)
I think that the ship should be called NightOwl because one of the characters' name translates to Night and the other's name translates to Owl and I personally don't see the appeal of the ship but that would be a cute shipname

Despite being among humans for close to a decade, I still find their tendency to overcomplicate and avoid aspects of social situations to be confusing at best and infuriating at worst. So much time is wasted on tedious matters such as who gets to 'make the first move' or 'not come off too strong'.
For example, everyone aboard my vessel is keenly aware of Lt. Uhura and Engineer Scott's 'budding romance'. But their need to extend their oddly avoidant courtship ritual, rather than outright state their interest in one another, is pointless, as well as frustrating to witness.
Why do they do this? Why not 'get it over with', as they say?
I encourage answers from all cultures, human or otherwise.

Feyd-Rautha x Reader
Summary: Feyd tricks you into engagement...
Warnings: implied Atreides!Reader (bc I can't help but ship that ship most) = enemies to lovers (to be), Reader is a bit of a judgy little grump, harassment, misogyny, fight to the death, Feyd is a smitten sneaky little menace, made up Harkonnen customs, hints of angst here and there
🖤 special thank you to @stopeatread and @kasagia for the comments that kept me going 🖤

Tumblr media
The celebration for eliminating the Fremen threat was planned to last for a week. You had more than enough of it on the first day though, of the party, of the people, of the black and white planet altogether. You wanted to leave but that would be an insult to the Harkonnens, the hosts of the event, and the fragile peace between your families couldn't take a blow like that.
The Baron was gracious enough to give your family the credit that was due for this achievement, and as one of the honoured guests, you had to be present for all of these nights of celebration, form start to end.
The smalltalk bored you to death, the men were looking at you like meat, and the way the Baron treated the servants made you sick. No, scratch that, the Baron made you sick.
The only remotely good thing was surprising to say the least. The na-Baron Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, who shared your feelings towards the gathered nobles and who proved to be not just an excellent company for your brooding through most of the days you've had to spend here so far but his presence also scared away the men who wanted to try to make a decent or indecent proposition to you.
When you mentioned the offers you received Feyd became irritated but his slightly teasing and a bit accusatory questioning of your too high standards covered up the real reason behind his increasing anger. He didn't want anyone else to even have a chance to have you. It was only the third day of knowing you but he knew he will not be able to let you go. His initial amusement and fascination quickly became an unstoppable obsession and you had no idea.
Not even when the conversation went as far as him trying to convince you that you should take a chance with someone sooner or later and you might have a say in the matter unlike most noble ladies. Your answer stayed with him for the next few days.
"I have no illusions, I know there's no such thing as a perfect match but I want someone who will not try to change me, who I can trust just as much as they can trust me. Someone who would care for me even if love is not an option, someone who could be gentle with me."
That did not help with his anger. He knew it was not your intention but you basically told him that he had no chance. Trust? Care? Kindness? That was everything you can't find in his family. Feyd-Rautha was very well aware he was not right for you but no matter what the tiny little voice of what's left of his conscience told him, he couldn't let you go.
The opportunity came on the second to last day of the celebrations. He had other obligations, so you were left alone to mingle. Feyd kept an eye on you but he didn't notice the Harkonnen general approach you until you made a scene.
The general fell on his knees from the force of your hit that also broke his nose. He quickly recovered though, standing up in a quick motion, stepping into your personal space once again as he threatened you.
"You will pay for that," he said as he tried to grab you again but you stepped back, kicking him in the knee, making him stumble again.
"Try to put your hands on me again and I will end you," you practically growled your response but it only elicited a mocking laugh from the entitled man.
"If you want a fight, little witch, name your champion," he taunted as he straightened once again.
"I can fight my own battles." You declared with your head held high, not letting this excuse of a man making you feel small under his towering height.
The fool tutted at you like you were an ignorant child. "Not here, you can't."
Before you could respond a now familiar, oddly rough and soft voice declared, "I will fight for her."
The gasps across the room were followed by eerie silence. The natives of this planet knew what that meant, the na-Baron was not from your family or in your servitude, therefore, according to thier law his offer changed the challenge and now the price was much higher than the question of your honour.
He descended down the stairs from where he was talking with his uncle and some other nobles not a minute ago. It was a slow, predatory display of movement that made you shiver.
Feyd stopped in front of you but didn't take his eyes off the general until the man confirmed the acceptance of the challenge with a nod. The foul man had the audacity to grin at you with a dark intention of what he will do if he wins.
You look away from that as the na-Baron finally turns to you. His expression is unreadable as he studies you in silence.
"Why?" you finally ask.
His lips pull to a smile but he stops it as he leans in to be level with your downcast eyes. "Why not?"
You clench your fists, insisting,"I am perfectly capable of fighting."
"As he said, that's not how things work here." He bent down until his lips brushed the shell of your ear, making you shiver for an entirely different reason as he whispered, "Maybe you can give me a private demonstration later?"
You huffed, pushing at him by a hand on his chest. He let you but he caught your hand and kept it there, right above his heart as he looked down at you with an unsettling smile glinting in his eyes.
"Show me your blade," he orders, finally letting go of your hand but holding your gaze captive with his.
You take in a shuddering breath as you reply, "I don't know what you're talking about. We were searched for weapons..."
He cuts you off with an amused and accusing look, his brows, or rather where they would be raise in a mocking but expectant move as his drags his gaze slowly over your face and neck, right to the place where your breasts are straining against your dress' corset with each heavy breath.
Your lips part in surprise and that makes him look up, mesmerised for a second before he delivers a more impatient form of that taunting look. Clenching your jaw, you look away for a second, a half shake of your head at this situation is all you can afford. Then you reach into the front of your dress, pulling out the hidden blade and hand it to him.
Fey studies the intricate design of the sheath of the weapon before pulling the blade out, testing the edge against his fingertips. His full lips turn up in a satisfied smile and you are about to comment on it when he presses the sheath to your lips, stunning you once again.
He keeps the light smile as he moves your right hand again to grab the item, his hold sliding from your hand to your wrist as he guides your moves, settling the piece above your heart, making you cross your arm across your chest.
Your heart is beating at an insane beat as you eye him with suspicion, very deep down realising what is about to happen.
"Why are you doing this?" you whisper, scared to even make the question, let alone hear the answer.
He grins at you, saying, "Don't worry, I will collect my reward after I dealt with him."
With that he stepped back, putting your blade to his lips and mimicking the gesture he made you perform, then he walked away from you to go back to the podium where his opponent was already waiting for him.
They stood at a few feet from each other, in fighting stance, ready to attack the moment the Baron would let them.
The fight would have been quick but Feyd had other plans.
It was plain to see that the na-Baron was a far better fighter. And given the stories, you know the general must have seen the younger man fight in the arena before so you concluded that he indeed was an utter fool.
You stood there where he left you, surrounded by the morbidly fascinated audience that was witnessing his display. Because that's what it was a show put on for everyone to see.
Yes, he wanted to make the bastard suffer but it was more than that. This will be an example of what happens when someone tries to take away what is his, and all the while it is a chance to show his true power over a real opponent. So Feyd attacked, cut and then retreated to observe the man then he repeated the process. Again and again, until the general couldn't stand. Then Feyd-Rautha cut his throat with a swift move as the defeated man was kneeling before him.
The Baron laughed and spoke to the room, announcing that his nephew just won a wife and everyone was staring at you with disbelief while Feyd-Rautha was basking in his victory. You didn't hear or see any of it though, your focus solely on him, already knowing your fate without anyone telling you.
The next thing you knew the na-Baron was marching towards you and he grabbed you by your nape, pulling you into a forceful kiss. His lips pressing on yours, teeth biting into your lower lip, probably drawing blood as he demanded your surrounder. You gasped at the pain, granting him his wish of you opening up to him and he didn't hesitate to deepen the kiss, claiming you publicly while your knees wobbled and you were holding onto him for dear life.
When he finally leaned back, he was smiling as he cupped your cheek with his free hand. "Aren't you going to congratulate me, my lovely bride?"
"Why? You already claimed your reward." Your answer was filled with anger but he didn't mind, he will make you forgive him, he was sure of it. But he couldn't help himself with a little more teasing because he liked to see that fire in your eyes.
"Not yet, my darling. Although if you can't wait for the wedding night, I wouldn't be against it."
You scoff and look away, your gaze finding your father and his mentat discretely arguing then looking back at you. They answer your silent question with a sorrowful expression and your father lightly shakes his head, meaning there is no way to avoid this.
Witnessing the exchange, Feyd clenches his jaw, and he roughly grabs your chin, forcing you to look at him.
"No!" he quietly growls through his teeth. "You are mine."
With that, he closes the distance between you again, this time kissing you longer and in a much more gentle manner despite his anger at your reaction. It's a promise that he hopes you understand. For you, he will try.

Looking at this I can't stop thinking about how now they're going to live day by day, enjoying a peaceful life full of love and laughter in their little slice of heaven, and one of those days Hunter will be hit with a realization that he doesn't have to kneel to be on Omega's eye level anymore. And his back will creak when she falls asleep under that tree and he'll pick her up to carry her to bed. Another day he'll notice she's too tall to be seamlessly tucked under his chin. And she'll show up to breakfast one morning with his bandana in her hair because it got long enough. One of those days she'll become too tall, too big, too old to be carried around but it won't stop her from jumping onto Wrecker's back. People will turn around when she walks by and it will dawn on him that it's because of her beauty. She'll pick up a knife and twirl it between her fingers as smoothly as he used to do and she won't even think about it much but he'll be replaying it in his head for days.
And one day he'll hear the words he's been secretly dreading for over a decade. She'll get her own ship. Get in touch with some old friends, maybe find some new ones. She'll tell him that she's ready, then hug him just like she used to do when she was a little girl. And it will break his heart into a million pieces but he'll watch with a smile as she flies to the sky, ready for her next adventure. And he'll know that he raised her right.

Hi could you pretty please do velvette x reader who is Carmilla youngest daughter and how her family reacts (plus zestial pls I ship him and Carmilla so I feel like he's a step dad)❤️
A/N: I blacked out and wrote this.... but yeeees LISTEN!! I love Velvette so much, its not even funny and i had a lot of fun with this prompt! I didn't realize how much i wrote for it until it was too late, and by that point, i really couldn't stop. but I hope you enjoy reading it as much as i enjoyed writing it! ps i honestly ship them too
Part 1 | Part 2
Character: Velvette
Type: Headcanons + Drabble (Velvette x reader who's Carmilla's youngest daughter, General with a bit of Angst and Fluff sprinkled in)
For Velvette, she actually entered into the relationship not really knowing who your parents were. You never brought it up and she never really asked. It didn't really matter to her, since, ya know, you're the one she's dating, not your mum and dad, or step-dad from what you've mentioned.
Honestly, she should've seen the similarities. They were there for sure, but let's face it, there are so many demons in hell that it was probably just a coincidence, right?
Carmilla also knew you were seeing someone as well, though she really figured that you would bring this special demon around when you were ready.
Oh, they were both wrong. So very wrong.
They found out simultaneously, of course, as cliche as it was. You were on an evening out with Velvette with no clear destination in mind, just simply enjoying the evening and each other's company when the next thing you knew you were face to face with your mother.
It... didn't go too well.
What had once been a peaceful evening nearly dissolved into a turf war all in an instant. If you hadn't been able to separate the two with a promise to talk to both separately later there was no doubt that everything in a three-block radius would be collateral.
Zestial and your sisters would find out soon thereafter, Carmilla of course telling them when they see her come home looking quite distraught.
As stated before, to Velvette, it really didn't matter. though it did sweeten the deal. It would give her plenty more opportunities for her to provoke the arms dealer, something that she already took a great deal of pleasure in.
Zestial would be skeptical of the relationship at the start but eventually comes to accept it fully. His patience won out this time. He's seen more than enough relationships like this go up in flames and he'd never want that for you. He considered you a daughter after all.
As for your sisters, both of them were simply happy that you were happy. They were more worried about how y'alls mom would react. And you can't tell me that they didn't already know, either.
Carmilla on the other hand... To her, family is everything. I mean, she killed an angel for you and your sisters. She'd do anything for her kids, and that includes keeping someone like that upstart from breaking your heart. She wholeheartedly believed that Velvette was only dating you to get one over on her. It really comes as no surprise when she goes all the way to Vee Tower to confront the youngest overlord herself.
"You need to stay away from my daughter."
The fashionista bit out a curse as a needle pricked her finger. Velvette doesn't usually startle easily, but shit, between her being completely focused on finishing and the fact that her workshop had previously been silent save for any sounds that she had been making herself, she thought that even the most stone-cold bitch would've jumped.
What good was the security for if those nitwits couldn't keep unauthorized demons out of her workshop? The influencer swore that if any blood got on the material for this dress she'd personally kill the guards and whoever-
Oh.
Of all the people she expected to see, Carmilla Carmine, the uptight weapons dealer, and apparent mum of her girlfriend, was not one of them. Or actually, scratch that. She was completely expecting this to happen sooner or later.
"Well, it sucks to suck then, wrinkles, I'm not going nowhere." The fashionista bit back, a smirk settling on her lips that quickly fell when the older woman tried to push her point.
"I know what you're trying to do and it-"
"Obviously you don't." All mischief gone from her tone, Velvette set her work to the side, careful not to crumple the fabric. She rose to her feet and began to cross the room to Carmilla, who in turn stood taller, determined not to let this miscreant make a mockery of her, her family, and most importantly her youngest daughter. "I hate to break it to you, but the only way I'll break it off is if SHE wants to."
Velvette paused, her eyes boring into Carmilla's with a conviction and passion that the arms dealer hadn't felt from the influencer before. When the younger woman spoke again, her voice was softer than before, laced with a sincerity that would leave the mother speechless.
"I love her."
Its this singular interaction that leads to a truce between the two (technically five if you include Zestial and the Vee's) Overlords. They would come to some sort of mutual understanding that if both of them were to be in your life, they'd have to play nice. At least in front of you. At Overlord meetings, well, that's a whole different story.

Yandere Luffy Headcanons
Dark themes, obsessive behavior, Kidnapping, dubcon, gaslighting, typical yandere things.
Female bodiedGN! Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Luffy is a very sneaky yandere. He knows how people perceive him and uses that to his advantage.
Coming off as innocent and naive, just to get you wrapped around his finger. Begging you to join his crew after he saved you from a gang of bandits (which totally weren't after you because he lied about how much money you had)
How could you say no to this ball of sunshine, that also just graciously saved your life. Of course you pack a bag and follow him to the ship.
Gotcha.
Luffy can hardly contain himself. He has something that's all his, and no one is going to take you from him.
He subtly makes you feel like you owe him, to make sure you never leave. He's always bringing up the bandits and saying that you owe him your life.
He makes excuses for you to stay, even when you tell him how trapped you feel. He flips the tables and tells you how lost he'd be without out, making you feel guilty for even suggesting time away from him.
Luffy is also a pervert, but he gets away with it because he seems so innocent. Always shoves his face in your tits, walks in on you changing and even steals your panties from time to time.
You know what he's doing. Or maybe you're just looking at it all wrong. Maybe he is just overly nice and doesn't realize what he's doing.
That is until he comes to you and asks you jerk him off. He practically begs and says he can't do it by himself, he's tried and he just can't cum
Luffy starts getting more confident in using your body and having you do sexual favors. Eventually just taking what he deems as his.
Of course you like it, you're his right? You just love the feeling of his cock invading every hole, and the sticky jizz he likes to cover you in. His wet kisses, and insatiable sex drive.
If you didn't like it then you'd just leave right? That's what he thought.
Luffy has an even darker side as well. He's viciously jealous and his crew knows it, they all but ignore you to avoid his wrath. All you get is looks of pity, because not even they can convince Luffy to release you.
When he used to let you off the ship, he'd follow you around. He's picked many fights with people he thought were flirting with you.
After he killed a man for bumping into you, Luffy decided your place was on his ship and that you'll never set foot on land again.
His protectiveness goes both ways however, he would literally take a bullet for you. He is always expressing how he'd die for you, just to keep you safe. Whether this is another manipulation tactic or the truth is something you have yet to find out. You hope it's true so that maybe then you'd get some peace.
If you ever do manage to escape, Luffy will never stop following you, not until he has you or one of you is dead.
He's also not above baby trapping you, knocking you up so you're forced to stay. The baby needs a father, and how is a new parent supposed to make money all by themselves. It's better you stay with Luffy so he can provide for you and your child.
All in all he's a dangerous yandere and you don't realize that you've been caught until it's too late

SWEET CRAZY LOVE!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
things enha does that make your words stutter, face heat up and heart sick with sweet crazy love.
PAIRING: 7/7
GENRE: fluff
WARNINGS: skin ship, mentions of chaste kissing
NOTE: hiii everyone! I went though emotional turmoil and I came to the conclusion that took several weeks but I am back and will clean and organise the blogs soon! until then, here's dinner.
Tumblr media
★ HEESEUNG: a listener
Just one look at him and it's so evident that he's the type lean forward to hear people better. It starts with a small curious and innocent "hm?" And then he'll lean towards you and tilt his head downwards even if you're at home without environmental noise. If you stand on your tiptoes to whisper something in his ear, he'll automatically bend his knees so you can reach his height comfortably. (That heejake video is canon idc). The worst part is that he doesn't even know what he's doing because it comes as an instinct, being taller than most of his friends, so he doesn't even have the slightest clue how your stomach does backflips when he tilts his head closer to yours to hear you. The proximity combined with his perfume…killer.
★ JAY: late night whispers
Has the softest expression on his face when you talk about random things. He's so engrossed that he doesn't notice your pause as you admire the gentle look in his eyes, full of love and the soft smile he wears when he gazes at you like that. It looks like he's going to fall asleep any moment but his eyes aren't full of sleep but something more precious. It only occurs when he's completely vulnerable and feels safe around you. He looks at you like you hung all the stars in the sky and painted the night- just for him. In those peaceful moments, he's just staring deep into your eyes while you try your best to entertain him and not make eye contact as if your life depends on it (it does).
★ JAKE: subtle tender actions
His attention and care reside in the way in which he goes out of his way to protect you. It may seem natural but you notice how he always pulls you to the secure side of the pavement and walks near the road, during meals he places the most delicious item on your plate mid-conversation, keeps extra gloves and platform shoes for you in his car, zips your jacket for you. Notices when someone cuts you off and slowly brings you back into the conversation while eyeing the person (if it was intentional). No matter what he does, his focal point is to ensure your happiness and safety. It's the sweetest thing ever and fills you with love knowing you can rely on someone like Jake.
★ SUNGHOON: skin on skin
It's like he needs to hold/touch you or else he won't be able to function. Not necessarily in a sensual way. It comes to him as easily as breathing. He slides his hand into yours when you're sitting, plays with your fingers and then brings your palm to his mouth to place a soft kiss. He enjoys your flustered state and is aware of his hold on you but it's all about love, not authority. He wants you to be close to him, as physically as possible, although he attempts to appear non-clingy. Pulls you nearby the loop of your jeans, and rests one hand on your leg and the other on the steering wheel. If you're preoccupied, he'll come behind you to wrap his arms across your form and kiss the crown of your head. He loves you, so why wouldn't he want to embrace you, hold you close, and feel each other's heartbeat?
★ SUNOO: secret admirer
He has this undying desire to observe you do your usual tasks. Whether it's wearing your makeup, doing your skincare routine, doing assignments or even when you're watching tv- he'll be admiring you from the side, cheek squished against his palm, eyes twinkling- he is NOT ashamed or shy about it. He has no reason to be, you're his lover and he can not fathom how you exist. Admires each minuscule movement and commits it to memory. Sometimes you'd complain you can't focus and he'd laugh it off and tell you to not be dramatic…doesn't take him a couple of minutes to resume. On days when you're far too gone to do anything for yourself, no self-care, wiping off makeup, too tired-he'll do it all for you with ease and with surprising practice. He knows how you do it after all.
★ JUNGWON: eye contact
There is no way he's having a conversation without making eye contact. The eye-eye-mouth ratio is crazy because while you're scrambling to seem normal and not as if your face is seconds away from heating up he's staring at you like you hung the stars in the sky. Casually brushes your hair out of your face and tucks it behind your ear mid-conversation, he pauses his words just to let his soft fingers graze your burning skin, momentarily blanks out as he admires you before his mind circuits him back to the moment. Then he thrives off the pure adrenaline rush in seeing your resolve melt. Also sometimes twirls your hair strands in his fingers mindlessly as he speaks for added heart-thumping effect.
★ NIKI: everywhere I go, I see you
Niki loves silently, but brightly. He's got pictures of you in his wallet and smiles every time he opens it up to pay, which is often because he doesn't let you pay at all. Mostly because he believes you shouldn't have to worry about this stuff on a date when you should be having fun and also because it gives him an excuse to see his favourite picture of you. Changes the picture each month, your outfit and pose would differ but your smile stays the same and so does the flutter in his heart. He treasures things irrelevant things you give him like tissues with your lipstick stains stuffed in his jackets, a collection of a couple of polaroids are stuck next to his bedside, an unopened toothbrush waiting for you if you ever spend the night, but the most precious item is the necklace of your initial he hides under his collar.
