Limited Options Commentary

Hey all, it's been a bit but I got there. Here's the commentary for the "make a payoff for a theme at common" contest. I was really impressed by how well everyone did; it's hard to judge these things in a vacuum, especially this kind of contest, but a lot of the cards seemed to hit the sweet spot of having a high enough floor and not a massive gulf between when you get the reward and when you don't. Solid props all around.

Skittering Blightmother by @lich-of-the-golgari-golgari

This is an uncommon so it didn’t qualify for the contest. However, it is a neat phyrexian tribal payoff. I like it.

Double Back by @bread-into-toast

I like that cantrip rider as a way to incentivize a cast lots of spells archetype. That’s an interesting rider. Putting it on a blink spell is interesting. It implies an interesting mix of themes here, with ETB triggers and casting spells. With that in mind, this might be better off as something like a “return a creature to your hand” deal instead of blink? Cause if this is an archetype that mixes those two things, that kind of effect would need to be the bridge.

Ambitious Pontiff by @just--a--penguin

Nice card for a lifegain deck. It gives you a reward you want if you have gained life, but you’ll sometimes play it even when you haven’t (though you aren’t happy about it). And the lifelink token means it can be an enabler for other lifegain cards too, though not a great one. It seems to be in a pretty solid spot.

Kangee’s Chosen by @arixordragcagc

This is a solid flying payoff. It works *really* well if you’re able to make multiple flying creatures a turn, maybe with some kind of token maker, but even if you just play a creature a turn you’re doing pretty well. And the baseline of a storm crow isn’t bad either (sorry sorry i know, it’s the best card ever).

From the Briny Deep by @izzet-always-r-versus-uays-r-versus-u

Cool card! I like plunder as a mechanic, it encourages combat well and makes sense as a pirate mechanic. And this is a solid pirate card. Another disentomb effect- it rewards pirate tribal without being useless outside of it, good spot to be.

Port Stalker by @grornt

Good call on the once per turn trigger, this could get pretty out of hand otherwise. Even as is, it *might* be better suited to uncommon, but hard to say. I like how this encourages you to discard nonland cards, since discarding lands is the usual later in the game.

Infested Hoard by @dimestoretajicretajic

I like cards like this that get a reward if treasure mana was spent on them. It’s a cool way to reward treasures. And tokens seem like a good reward. That said, this doesn’t seem like a common; a common payoff for this kind of thing would be more like a spell that gets a bonus if you spent treasure to cast it or something. And the mite tokens have very specific implications for the set and the deck- it implies that you expect the treasure deck to have a lot of overlap with a poison deck, and in red, which is rather unusual.

Candlegrove Recluse by @i-am-the-one-who-wololoes

I like how this gives you flexibility in what it’s power can be to help you with your coven stuff. Frankly I think that could be its own card in a coven set, which wouldn’t qualify for this contest (but the second part all on its own still would), but I get why you wanted them on the same card, cause it shows off a cool interaction. That said, I do still have a few quibbles: firstly and least importantly, color. This is a little unusual for green, but I can see what it’s doing and it’s certainly not doing anything problematic in any sense, so it’s fine. More importantly, a lot of coven cards trigger at the beginning of combat cause it’s a good time for the triggers to happen, but it means this card triggers too late to be able to change for them. I think it’d be better suited as an activated ability than a triggered ability; i think this effect really wants that flexibility of timing.

Frilled Prowler by @misterstingyjackk

This looks strong, but probably fine? Especially if most cycling costs in the environment take two mana rather than one. Aesthetically if nothing else, costing 2 less would be great cause that’s the usual cycling cost but aesthetics aren’t everything.

Witch of the Frayed Veil by @nine-effing-hellsells

This has very splashy potential for a common, but not unreasonably so; we see stuff like this with invokers and this has that same kind of cost. This is a very playable card; it’s a solid body even ignoring how that activated ability can end the game.

Gnoll Adventurer by @deg99

This has strong potential for growth for a common, but nothing we haven’t seen before. I like how you did an end step trigger cause it would feel weird if its bonus couldn’t benefit from the adventure that lets you, uh, venture. That said, a Nessian Courser that ventures on ETB and can continue to grow is *really* strong for a common, and that’s the mode this is gonna be used as the most.

Sturdy Centurion by @squeezyboi

“Completing a siege” would be new terminology for working a Siege battle down to zero defense, I assume. Slight memory issues in that it asks you to pay attention to something you might not realize you had to pay attention to at the time, but I feel like most of the time it’d be pretty easy to remember. Maybe some situations where it gets confusing in “I forget, did that battle get destroyed before or after it flipped?” This is definitely the kind of reward i’d expect to see at common though; frankly, i think it could even be a little bigger. This could be a gloom stalker for sieges. Im not sure it *needs* to though it’s fine as is, powerwise.

Not Quite Dead by @helloijustreadyourpostyourpost

This looks good! Definitely you want to play this in a zombie deck, but at worst it’s just a raise dead effect. I can imagine running this in any black deck that has a few zombies.

Hanweir Escapee by @yd12k

This is a weird trigger. We did see something similar with bartered cow though, and this is in better colors for it, so definitely not out of the question weird. Just weird. This is more specific, requiring sacrifice over any death, so you want to make sure this has a lot of outlets to pay it off. The card draw seems strong though, and synergistic with what this deck wants to be doing. Strong card.

Trick or Treat 27

prompt: (Belated Treat) One or both of them are from an ancient line of Spellsingers, that is they have the ability to create spells on the spot, without any formulas, knowledge or prerequisite Power. Today they are musicians, famous for their concerts.

Kíli thought it unforgivably rude that he was being accused of abusing his Voice for personal gain – an act of the highest offence amongst the Spellbinded community across the Commonwealth – and wasn’t shy about sharing those feelings with Agent Peredhel, loudly and without restraint.

“This is ridiculous!” Kíli shouted, stabbing the air with a finger, before folding his arms tightly across his chest and falling back into a slouch in his seat, the metal cold and hard against the knobs of his spine. “I’ve never been more offended in my life.” He added, disbelief striking matches behind every other syllable. The statement wasn’t false, per se, however it wasn’t complete true: Critics were a Thing, after all.

For years, he and his brother, Fíli, had laboured in writing and promoting their music, and never once had they so much as entertained the idea of manipulating an audience through use of their Voices. Their parents – may they rest in peace – had ingrained in them a deep sense of respect and empathy that, as Singers themselves, they’d had to learn the hard way, through experience, loss, and failure. It furthermore helped that, in their boyhood years, Kíli had annoyed Fíli to the brink of homicidal mania and Fíli had turned around and had used his Voice on Kíli, vanishing Kíli into a corner of the bleak and eternal hopelessness of the Other Side. After their mother had un-vanished him, he and Fíli had never used their Voices on each other or on others ever again. A lesson taught early enough sticks, thank y o u.

That, of course, doesn’t include the few petty things laws don’t bother to cover, such as quickening a line in the café or at the loo in the pub. Or manifesting material things that won’t affect the economy, like a lighter or their perpetually missing keys. Or recoloring the kitchen to sage because Fíli’s choice of saffron was a grotesque misstep in taste and Kíli was having none of it.

But apart from those things, Kíli would never ever use his Voice for personal gain. He was a law abiding Spellbinded with nary a mark on his record and he intended to keep it that way. More of a personal mission than because he wished to avoid the maelstrom of media output should he be arrested. Fíli had a single smear on his record, you see, a matter of disorderly conduct ratcheted up to public indecency after he weed on the side of a primary school. Although it had been 2AM, pitched dark and the area deserted, the System hadn’t wanted to be seen as biased in favour of a celebrity and had executed the most severe sentence they could lob against Fíli for his misconduct.

He’d had to register as a sex offender under caution for two years.

Fucking b r i l l i a n t.

Kíli had never been so wickedly gleeful, despite Fíli’s situation having made touring a mite difficult.

Kíli almost relented a smile until he remembered where he was. Sat in a small, cold room, furnished with a stainless-steel table bolted to the floor, handcuff rings welded to the underside, and four matching stainless-steel, armless chairs. He felt like a prisoner already, though Agent Peredhel hadn’t actually charged him with anything. The ‘yet’ lingered at the end of that thought like a bad smell.

Agent Peredhel leaned forward, placed his elbows on the table and steepled his fingers, face soured into an expression of being unimaginably burdened.

“In that case, Mr. Durin,” He began in an even tone, “Can you explain how you and your brother found yourselves at Calembel Park barely a week after playing to a half-empty club in Bree?”

“It was just good fucking luck!” Kíli cried, throwing his arms up in vexation. “A promoter happened to be there scouting talent to open for some of the bigger names. We didn’t even speak to the guy until he rung us the next morning!” Kíli hinged forward, one hand on his knee, the other chopping the air to accentuate his point, “No fucking magic!” And then he deflated back again, satisfied in his truth, and determined to uphold it.

Agent Peredhel scrubbed a tired hand over his face, the bags under his eyes and the creases around his mouth appearing more pronounced in his exhaustion. They’d been at this for over two hours without a break. Kíli and Fíli had been picked up backstage after their performance. A crowd of 15,000 screaming diehards had crowded their stage and had wailed along to the lyrics they’d written in their garage. Unfortunately, before Kíli and Fíli could return to the stage for their encore, Agent Peredhel and his uptight, stick-insect of a partner Agent Thranduil, had swooped in and lofted about accusations of brainwashing through Spellsinging.

Twats, the both of them.

“So, you mean to say that you and your brother,” Agent Peredhel pretended to scan the file he had open on the table in front of him, acted as if he’d never heard of either brother before that night, “Fíli, didn’t lure the majority of Legolas and the Greenleaves’ fans away from their stage to yours?”

“I told you b—” And then l i g h t b u l b. “No.” Kíli stated, more subdued than he’d been all night, because wasn’t that just the revelation of the century? Kíli knew of Legolas, had been a fan once upon a time before he’d discovered less-mainstream artists under the same pop-metal umbrella. He should’ve recognized the name the instant it was spoken when the agents had identified themselves as members of SCAB – that being the Spellbinded Criminal Action Bureau. Kíli found the name quite suitable.

Legolas Thranduil, son of the agent currently interrogating Kíli’s brother in another room.

Up until that point, Kíli hadn’t lobbied for a lawyer since he knew he was being wrongly accused. And while Peredhel’s persistence to the contrary wasn’t going to change that Kíli hadn’t done anything illegal, he understood when it was time to throw in the towel.

“I want my solicitor.” He said firmly, resuming a carefully put on air of disinterest. At Agent Peredhel’s raised brow, Kíli added in an acutely sweet note, “Please.”

“Of course, Mr. Durin, as is your right.”

As Agent Peredhel prepared to stand, Kíli clicked his tongue and said, “And if you could do me a favor?”

Agent Peredhel straightened, his silence an indication he was willing to listen.

“If you could just tell your partner to tell his son,” Kíli’s eyes narrowed darkly, “Imrid amrad ursul.” Then Kíli bit his mouth closed and glared Agent Peredhel down until the man exited the room, the door locking with a snick behind him and the officer who’d stood in the corner through the questioning.

---

They were out within the hour. And if Legolas thought he could do them as dirty as he’d done while they’d been of a mind to tread the straight and narrow, he was in for a nasty surprise when they showed him how capable their Voices were and they’re in-depth familiarity with every legal loophole in the System.

Analysis of Major Parasitic Fauna and Pit Ecology

I’ve spent the past three days putting together a speculative food web of the Mystery Flesh Pit’s ecology. The web is made up of five base food sources (green) with the park’s fauna split into Primary (pink), Secondary (orange), and Tertiary Consumers (red). Any arrow marked with a (?) means that the connection there is more uncertain. Along with the food web I also wrote up about 5 pages of analysis on why I chose to order the food web in the way I did (was it overkill? yes. was it worth it? maybe. did I enjoy it? hell yeah). I based a lot of my speculation on established lore but obviously I filled in MANY gaps. THIS IS NOT CANON. I tried to tag all of the information that IS canon but I almost certainly forgot something, so if you see something PM me and I’ll edit the post! While the food web and analysis were written up by me, all of the material and lore is from the Mystery Flesh Pit blog. If you somehow found this post and don’t know about the source material please check it out here:

https://mysteryfleshpit.tumblr.com/

Also, please PM me if you have questions, criticisms, or insights!! I would love to hear feedback from the community, thank you for reading!

Foundation of Pit Ecology Food Chain:

1. Fungal Growths

The wide variety of fungal growths in the pit may provide a convenient food source for other Pit fauna. The growths are commonly found near amniotic ballast springs and are known to have spores toxic to humans1. Pit fauna that feed on the growths would certainly have adapted immunity to the spores but may incorporate those undigested toxins into their body as a predation deterrent. Fungal growths of the Pit appear to grow mainly on the surface of the organism but may extend deeper into the flesh in order to absorb nutrients from the Pit itself. Larger colonies of growths could then cause mass die-offs of Pit tissue if allowed to propagate unchecked.

2. The Pit

- Amniotic Ballast Fluid

The fluid of the Amniotic Thermal Springs is known to be edible to humans and so would mostly likely form a major food source for park life2. It’s unclear what the composition of the fluid is but it may constitute a main source of water for Pit fauna. The springs could be envisioned as a “watering hole” of the Pit, drawing in a variety of both predator and prey and being a hot bed of ecological activity. A side effect manifested in humans is the fluid’s aphrodisiacal effect2; if this effect is shared by Pit fauna then the Amniotic Thermal Springs could also drive reproductive seasons or behaviors in larger organisms. This effect would not necessarily be intended by the Pit, but the relationship may have formed over time nonetheless.

- Cystic Nutrient Ganglia

In humans, ganglia cysts usually form at joints and are enlarged pockets of lubricating fluid that collects and creates an extended, spongy bump. The cause of these cysts is still unknown, but is most likely related to joint conditions similar to arthritis. The multicellular macrobacteria of the Pit feed primarily on these ganglia. The macrobacteria leech proteins, fats, and minerals from the ganglia through osmotic diffusion1. It is unclear whether the cystic nutrient ganglia are a purposeful development of the Pit or a by-product of external factors (later in this analysis I will be making an argument for the latter). It seems that the ganglia are exclusively fed on by macrobacteria species, unless the cysts could be otherwise punctured by more “animal-like” Pit fauna1.

- Organic Tissues

The Pit’s own tissues may provide some level of sustenance for Pit wildlife. While there is one specific organism that could be speculated to feed on Pit living tissue, it is much more likely that Pit fauna take advantage of dead or dying tissues in the park. Through natural or external means, it is clear that Pit tissue can die and necrosis can spread out from those areas5. Pit fauna eat away the dead tissue of the Pit and the Pit is protected from the spread of necrosis. It seems unlikely that any Pit fauna would purposely damage Pit tissues (it is better for the parasites to keep their host healthy, rather than contribute to its unwellness) but in times of food scarcity the Pit’s tissue could provide some nutrients to a starving creature.

3. Unaltered/Compound Surface Fauna

Surrounding surface animals, while not native to the Pit, could provide a base food source for predatory Pit fauna. Abyssal copepods are known to exit the Pit, hunt surface wildlife, and drag living animals back down into the Pit. If these animals escape or survive initially within the Pit, they may undergo anatomical amalgamation. Common features of these compound animals are fused limbs or other major body parts and the external relocation of internal organs on the body1. Both the unaffected surface fauna and the amalgamations would be at a great disadvantage within the Pit, as they lack any Pit-specific adaptations. These animals, when found, could be an easy meal for Pit fauna. It may also be speculated that abyssal copepods only venture out in times of food scarcity within the Pit, but it is unclear how much weight this theory holds.

Primary Consumers of the Pit:

1. Macrobacteria

Due to their great abundance, simple reproductive behavior, and wide variety, the macrobacteria of the Pit are a fundamental building block in the Pit’s ecology. Macrobacteria are known to feed osmotically on cystic nutrient ganglia1, however it is likely that some species may eat dead organic matter (i.e. dead Pit tissue and/or deceased Pit fauna). While similar in appearance to microscopic bacteria, it is known that macrobacteria are multicellur1. Various species of macrobacteria are shown on the Major Parasitic Fauna poster3; from these drawings it appears that most species share some common traits. Each creature has a spherical or near spherical body surrounded radially by spikes and/or tendrils (omitting species H, which demonstrates a more lateral body plan). The tendrils or spikes of the macrobacteria are likely to fill many roles for the animal; locomotion, grasping/restraining, sensing, and protection could all be achieved by a set of extremities. The macrobacteria may scuttle like sea urchins, swim like jellyfish, crawl, slither, or even roll through Pit openings and fluids. Macrobacteria have been known to act aggressively in defense of territory, so the more prehensile tendrils may provide some level of grasping and restraining when the macrobacteria encounter hostile organisms. Surface bacteria and other single celled organisms use chemical sensors to “look at” or “feel” their environments and a lack of clear eye spots may indicate a similar process in macrobacteria where their tendrils could detect chemical changes or concentration levels in their surroundings. Finally, the spikes of the macrobacteria may be a defense mechanism against larger predatory Pit fauna4 (Big thanks to u/Hozin-6 who provided most of the speculation on macrobacterial locomotion and defense in this analysis. His original comment can be found in the sources).

2. Bone Mite

The bone mite shares heavy resemblance with surface mites, ticks, and other arthropods. Based on its appearance and name, it can be speculated that the bone mite’s main food source is living Pit tissue in the form of bone marrow. It is unknown what the inner anatomy of the Pit’s various large bone structures are but they most likely contain either bone marrow or some analogous tissue. The bone mite’s hair-like structures can easily find footholds and catchments on the bone surface, allowing the mite to have full mobility over the surface of the large bones in a way similar to how flies or bed bugs crawl up walls. If bone mites feed parasitically off the living bone tissue then it is likely that they have either a hard proboscis or hard drilling mouth in order to penetrate the outer bone shell. The mites’ bodies look fairly flat as well, which may allow them to slip between folds of flesh and bone to feed3.

3. Gastric Bristleworm

The clearest feature of the bristleworm is its namesake; the worm is covered in long, thin tendrils or bristles that protrude from the sides of the organism and encircle the “head”3. These bristles most likely provide locomotion for the worm and defense against predation. The name suggests that the gastric bristleworm may be native to “stomach-like” or digestive organs of the Pit. The worm may then feed on partially or fully digested organic matter as well as amniotic ballast fluid when necessary. Supposing the worm’s main habitats are digestive organs within the Pit, it is likely that the organism’s bristles and body are composed of a strong but flexible tissue with specific immunities to the acidic environment. The bristleworm may swim or crawl through gastric acid in order to scavenge for nutrient-rich, partially digested organic matter and so would be unchallenged by the more competitive (but less tough) Pit fauna. It could be argued that, with sufficient prompting, a gastric bristleworm could puncture a cystic nutrient ganglion and feed off the proteins and fats within but they would then be competing with the territorial macrobacteria1. The gastric bristleworm could easily fit in as a decomposer as well, eating any deceased surface or Pit fauna before it can be absorbed directly by the Pit itself.

4. Shrieking Cloistropod

The shrieking cloistropod is the first of the list to not have a clear analogous surface organism. For this reason, it is more difficult to discern what behaviors and habits it may exhibit. The cloistropod’s lower body resembles a tap root or starchy root vegetable of surface plants3. This structure may penetrate the flesh walls of the Pit and act as an anchor for the organism. The cloistropod may use its “root” to leech nutrients from the local flesh its anchored around, as well as for the storage of excess nutrients and moisture for times of scarcity. The “head” of the organism would than sit above the flesh layer as a psudeo-plant or fungi. Based on the name and hair-like covering of the “head”, the above ground “head” may be very sensitive to touch or motion. When touched the “mouth” would then open and shriek or moan or make some other loud sound in order to frighten away possible predators. Alternatively, the shrieking cloistropod may be an ambush predator in the same vein as a venus fly trap, waiting until an organism comes close and then striking with a disorienting scream. The cloistropod’s body plan lends itself to a sessile lifestyle, especially in it’s adult stage, but it should be considered that the locomotive shrieking cloistropod theory may find more traction in a fluid-dominanted environment.

5. Gangliotode

The name of the gangliotode may point to two possible behaviors; either the organism’s namesake comes from appearance alone or the creature is tied to nerve ganglia in some way. The gangliotode bears some surface resemblance to a nerve bundle, otherwise known as a ganglion, and so may be named according to it’s recognizable shape. On the other hand, the gangliotode may be related to the Pit’s nervous system or to the before mentioned cystic nutrient ganglia. The gangliotode’s behaviors may cause cystic nutrient ganglia to form, therefore giving it an interesting relationship with the macrobacteria of the Pit. The gangliotode may feed on cystic nutrient ganglia alongside macrobacteria, however the territorial nature of the macros as well as the specific circumstances of their feeding behavior may make this theory unlikely. Regardless, it seems fairly likely that the gangliotode does not actively hunt and may be entirely sessile.

Secondary Consumers of the Pit:

1. Lesser/Greater Ballast Siren

Based on name alone it could be speculated that the greater ballast siren is an ambush predator that inhabits either the area around amniotic thermal springs or within the springs themselves. The greater ballast siren’s large opening on the front of it’s body may be a mouth that it can use to engulf or otherwise devour Pit fauna. The siren may sit within amniotic bulbs, either waiting for Pit fauna to get close enough or luring them in by other means, striking when the prey least expects the attack. Previously in this analysis, the amniotic thermal springs were envisioned as a “watering hole” for Pit fauna and so would be an ideal environment for this kind of ambush hunting. The greater ballast siren may have limited mobility from it’s tendrils, as well as having the ability to grasp the slippery surfaces of the springs. The lesser ballast siren appears almost like an undeveloped specimen of the greater. The lesser siren could therefore be a young or undeveloped stage in the life of the greater ballast siren or the alternate sex equivalent for the species (Pit fauna may not have a “male” and “female” but could have alternative reproductive sexes). The lesser ballast siren is less defined and so it is more difficult to discern any functions or behaviors of the species.

2. Stinging Triocanth

Another worm-like organism native to the Pit. Like many of the Pit fauna already covered, the triocanth has many hair-like protrusions all along it’s body and extremities. The hairs that cover the organism’s “arms” may aid it in locomotion and sensing, allowing it to gain traction along slippery surfaces and narrow tunnels while the longer barbs along the body may serve another purpose. Since this is a stinging triocanth, the long barbs may be a defense mechanism and/or a form of attack to subdue prey. It could be speculated that the stinging triocanth hunts macrobacteria or even bone mites, using it’s corkscrew appendages to move quickly and pluck lone creatures that separated from the group. The barbs may slow or incapacitate the prey and the corkscrew extremities could funnel the prey down towards the mouth of the triocanth. To tie in a previous theory, the stinging triocanth may be omnivorous, feeding on fungal growths as well. The triocanth then incorporates the toxins of the ingested spores into it’s barbs, giving it a poisonous sting.

3. Lesser Copepod

The lesser copepod may be the most surface-like organism of any of the Pit fauna. It resembles an arthropod and has some similarities to the larger abyssal copepod. The lesser copepod’s long feelers may be used to subdue prey from a distance, to coin a term they are “fisher hunters”. The lesser copepod could have some versatility in their hunting styles with such long appendages, being able to chase down prey or hide and strike from a safe distance. The lesser copepod could then easily pluck stranglers from the macrobacterial packs that roam the Pit, draw a gastric bristleworm out from it’s acidic den, or trigger a shrieking cloistropod from a safe distance and then dig up its nutrient-rich lower body. The lesser copepod’s reach compensates for it’s relatively smaller size and propels it higher on the food chain than it might otherwise be. Additionally, due to similar physiology, the lesser copepod could be a neotenic variation of the abyssal copepod; having branched away from it’s adult lineage by many generations.

4. Venous Shamble

The venous shamble may be a slow, omnivorous, opportunistic organism of the Pit. The eye spot placement of the shamble and it’s complicated form of locomotion give it the air of a shuffling and cautious creature. The base of the head contains a tube structure that may be a proboscis, one that can extend out to some length. The venous shamble could then feed on a wide range of Pit fauna including amniotic ballast fluid, fungal growths, deceased Pit fauna, and shrieking cloistropods (using its proboscis to access the underground “root” of the organism). Similar to the stinging triocanth’s barbs, the shamble may benefit from incorporated fungal spore toxins that would deter predation and allow it to move clumsily without constant threat. Additionally, the venous shamble is subjectively the cutest of the Pit fauna and that is not up for debate. Don’t @ me.

Tertiary Consumer of the Pit (AKA apex predator):

1. Abyssal Copepod

The abyssal copepod is certainly the apex predator of the Pit’s diverse ecology. The organism is built to move quickly through the fleshscape, with a head full of sensitive antennae to pick up on minute Pit and faunal movements as well as having large hands to grab and subdue prey. Abyssal copepods have been observed venturing outside the Pit, hunting surface fauna, and dragging them back down into their habitat1. Versatile and dangerous, the abyssal copepod is a force to be reckoned with. While the large copepod has minimal resemblance to surface arthropods and microscopic copepods, they also have the strange feature of human-like, five-digited hands. It has been theorized that abyssal copepods may be the descendants of ancient humans that found their way into the Pit and evolved to such an extreme extent that they now have almost no resemblance to modern humans6,7. While this evolution would need occur relatively quickly in geologic time, the Pit’s effects on living surface fauna are not fully understood and the harsh, variable conditions of the changing fleshscape could catalyze evolutionary developments and mutations (Thank you to u/OvoFox11 who was the first person I’ve seen relate the human hands of the abyssal copepods to descendant Pit-dwelling humans. His original comment is linked in the sources).

But they grow roots and taller so maybe not. Idk idk idk. I’m not taking Claire and Amir to the new house so I’m sorry loves I will compost u into the first where you will live forever with the earth amen.

She is loosing a leaf but that’s prob cuz this summer I have felt like shit been like a shit water and so idk if it’s my fault she’s loosing a leaf or her own choice. Prob my fault :(. But we’ll see.

Meaningless Meandering

KamuKoma Week Day 2: domestic / non-despair

alt: canon divergence

Summary: In which Hinata Hajime is not quite himself and Komaeda notices. Kamukura Izuru is quite annoyed by this.

Rating: G

Warnings: None really.

Notes: TUMBLR WANTED TO PICK A DAMN FIGHT WITH HOW IT WAS REFUSING TO PASTE WITH THE ITALICS BUT WHO’S LAUGHING NOW. HAHA. Ahem. Anyway, this is light and easy fluff in which KamuKoma happens during Island Mode and that’s pretty much it. It’s on the shorter side, too. Fluff to balance out the other day. :D

***Alternate Ao3 Link***

Commission? Donate?

“Who are you?”

“Eh, Komaeda? What are you saying? It’s me, Hinata.”

“You’re lying. There’s no way you’re Hinata-kun.”

“Haaah? What? Are you feeling alright? What’s wrong?”

“You’re not Hinata-kun. You look like him, exactly, but—you’re not him.” Komaeda bites his lower lip. “Your air is completely different. It really bothers me, actually. It feels almost—unnatural.”

That look of confusion on Hinata Hajime’s face drops.

“Huh. That so?”

“I’m not much good at wording things,” Komaeda laughs weakly. “But, I’ve had this feeling for a while and I’m sure of it, now. You’re definitely not Hinata-kun. Perhaps you were, at one point, but—something changed. It’s strange.”

There is a strange flicker in Hinata Hajime’s gaze. It almost looks like—red?

“What evidence could you possibly have for making such a lofty claim?” The words are dull, unimpressed, lacking any warmth or even the slightest bit of exasperation. All that was truly there was nothing more than an unsettling chill. “Was it really just a gut feeling? That’s so boring.”

“I... I-It’s true that I’m quite the boring, uninteresting, insignificant person, but... You have been acting off for a while now,” Komaeda hesitated, a little flustered. “Hinata-kun’s much more prickly. You’re not prickly enough. Something like that.”

“Something,” he echoed in a flat tone. “Like that.”

“Truth be told, I wanted to think I was imagining things, but it’s a feeling I can’t get rid of.” Komaeda’s frown deepens. “So I really have to ask... Who are you? Why are you acting as Hinata-kun? What happened to him?”

Hazel eyes fell shut.

“He will be returned to you shortly. This is just a mere, irritating blip. How annoying. I had rather wished that not a soul would notice the discrepancy but you always did make it a rather irritating habit to be perceptive, Komaeda Nagito.”

When those eyes open, they are now flushed with crimson.

“I suppose I should have predicted this, then. All the same.”

Eh...?

“Komaeda Nagito. As you guessed, while this body is indeed Hinata Hajime, and I, as well, used to be Hinata Hajime—now and hopefully temporarily, that is not the case.”

Komaeda shivered, feeling strangely small and also, when reflected in that crimson gaze, the most insignificant he ever felt.

Incredible.

“I am called Kamukura Izuru.”

Kamukura... Izuru?

He recognized the name. Of course he did. How could he not?

“Were you named after the founder of Hope’s Peak? Or is it just a coincidence?”

“The former.” Kamukura’s expression on Hinata’s face does not change. It’s strange, seeing Hinata Hajime look like this but—for whatever reason, for one called Kamukura Izuru, it seemed fitting. “That is the extent in which you need to know.”

Komaeda exhaled. When had he been holding his breath? Hey, why did he suddenly feel so dizzy?

“I see. Alright then.”

His vision was blurring. His heart was pounding. How strange. How strange. How very, very strange.

“Kamukura-kun, then. Kamukura-kun.”

His ears were ringing. It was as though the world itself were closing in on them, the edges disintegrating into black and green. It was strange. So strange.

Komaeda felt his knees buck. Distantly, as if the most he could be was aware of it happening.

“Kamukura...kun.”

His own voice felt faraway and foreign. It was not long until the world gave out and Komaeda’s eyes fell shut as everything fell apart.

He woke up in his cabin, flushed from overexertion.

“Unsurprisingly, you had passed out due to being overwhelmed. It truly was a folly to have confronted me, Komaeda Nagito.”

Komaeda groaned lowly, pushing himself up with a grimace. Hinata Hajime stood by his bedside, but Kamukura Izuru’s cold eyes looked down upon him.

“Mm...” Komaeda’s lips twisted. “Kamukura-kun...”

This feels strangely nostalgic, despite being nothing like the time Hinata-kun visited me while I was bedridden after I overdid it on my chores.

“What happened to Hinata-kun anyway?”

“He is merely in a deep rest,” Kamukura said. “You need not worry.”

“Mm...” I’m definitely relieved to hear that, but—this means what happened isn’t good or bad luck. How strange. “Kamukura-kun, you’re quite the mystery. I like mysteries.”

“I am aware.”

Ehe... Is he?

“So have you been watching us through Hinata-kun’s eyes all this time?” he asked cheerfully. “That’s pretty creepy.”

“I have not. Up until this point, I had been in a deep rest of my own. It was dull but not to this extent, I suppose.”

“Aw, Kamukura-kun... That’s so cold, haha...” Komaeda brushes his hair back, licking his lips. “A deep rest—inside of Hinata-kun?”

“That would not be an inaccurate statement. I had no interest in waking nor stirring, alas such was not meant to be. How terribly irritating.” Kamukura’s expression hardly changes. Even his eyes don’t move much, instead staring out at nothing in particular. It was definitely creepy, but Komaeda found himself drawn to those eyes. “I predict I will not remain here for much longer. That is still too long for my liking. It is boring. Dreadfully boring.”

“Mm...” Komaeda shuffles. “At the beginning of this trip, some weird bear tried to take over. He was talking about killing games and despair, but Usami had defeated him handily and drove him away. I have to admit, I was both relieved and disappointed.”

But, it can’t be helped. That good luck was later met with the bad luck of Hinata-kun being replaced. Although would I really call Kamukura-kun bad luck?

“Boring. Dreadfully, despicably boring. Worthless.”

Yes. I think I would.

“You’re terrible,” he said, chuckling. “Such a shame! You’re so interesting! I want to know more about you, Kamukura-kun! Oh. For example. Are you related to Hinata-kun’s talent in any way? Like—Ultimate Alter Ego, maybe?”

“That would not be an inaccurate statement. It is unnecessary and far too uninteresting to elaborate.”

“What, really?! How can that be uninteresting?!”

“I am beloved by talent, however talent is meaningless. A skill to apply in place of effort and perseverance. A cheat. A means of being exploited and leached by those who lack it.”

Komaeda frowned at that.

“Well, it’s true that’s how many untalented nobodies feel, but you could be a little less nihilistic, Kamukura-kun. To have talent grants you greater capabilities and potential to shine, what could that be called other than a gift?”

“A curse. Should you not be aware of this? Ultimate Luck.”

Ah, huh?

Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh?

“Such a boring talent and yet it has taken so much from you,” Kamukura went on. “I have that talent as well, and it truly is worthless when I already know what will happen. As for you, it is only a matter of time before that parasite bleeds you dry if others do not achieve that first. How boring.”

Ba-dump.

“...are you a stalker, Kamukura-kun?”

Komaeda’s head tilted.

“I haven’t even told Hinata-kun about any of that. So your talent—is Ultimate Stalker?”

And all this time I thought that might be Souda-kun... How fascinating!

“Consider my curiosity even more piqued!” he exclaimed. “You say you also have luck? How interesting! Kamukura-kun, you’re such an interesting person!”

Kamukura didn’t blink, but he did glance at him, gaze so intense that it sent excited shivers down Komaeda’s spine.

“...”

Ah. Is he expecting something from me? Someone like me...

“I can’t help but be interested,” he says. “After all, our school trip hasn’t exactly been eventful up until now.”

“Boring.”

“It’s a little boring, yes...” But while disappointing, I suppose I don’t hate it. “It’s a better turn of events than a killing game, to be sure.”

Kamukura said nothing to that. Komaeda wondered if he disagreed.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did.

“It does not matter,” Kamukura ended up saying. “I shall not tarry for long. But Hinata Hajime has chores so I should get going.”

“Oh. Right.” A pause as Kamukura stepped away. Komaeda noted his stride was different from Hinata’s. He held his head higher, and it was strangely graceful. “U-Um! Wait!”

Kamukura did pause as Komaeda scrambled out of bed. In his clumsiness, he almost tripped and smacked into the floor but he managed to retain his balance. He still reaches out and grips the end of Kamukura—really, Hinata’s shirt.

“Hinata-kun’s really popular, so someone probably already asked him, and I can understand rejecting a mite like me, but...” Komaeda pulled out a crumpled up pink ticket from his pocket, presenting it pitifully. “I would like to spend more time with you before you go, Kamukura-kun.”

Kamukura does not even look at him. He does, however, pluck up the ticket.

Komaeda lights up, only to get flustered and hurriedly released the other’s shirt with a choked up laugh.

“Where would you like to go? Do you have an idea?”

Komaeda blinked, gaze flickering from the floor to Kamukura Izuru’s steady gaze. He couldn’t help but smile warmly.

“Ehe. Hehe. I do.”

It was getting late in the afternoon, but it was still brilliant and blue out. The ocean waves lapped at the shore, and Komaeda perked up when he found that particular spot.

Not even a lump of sand remained, the surface instead smoothed. It seems the waves had washed away even the smallest of remnants of his latest attempt.

“A sand castle,” Kamukura said, sighing. “How boring. I am already aware of your feeble yet continual efforts.”

“We’re going to make it together,” Komaeda said, brandishing the plastic shovel and pail with pride. “Is it too difficult for Kamukura-kun to finish one measly sandcastle?”

“Your goading is transparent and pathetic.”

“That’s not an answer! Come on, let’s see what you’re truly capable of! Can you outmatch Hinata-kun?”

“With ease.”

“Ooh!”

He discarded his jacket momentarily, setting it where it was less likely to be swept up by any sudden currents. Kamukura Izuru was already digging a moat with single-minded, almost practiced focus. Komaeda stared for a minute before remembering to fill the pail.

“Ah, so Kamukura-kun’s done this before...”

“No.” Kamukura does not miss a beat. “I have not.”

“Eh, really? Maybe you’re a quick learner, then. Hinata-kun has some experience.” Though he’s not terribly good at it. “How long have you been with—in Hinata-kun?”

“None of your concern.”

Komaeda almost felt like he’d been slapped.

“Oh—apologies.”

Hinata-kun can be a little reserved and difficult—but Kamukura-kun’s next level. He knows how to be amiable, he’s been pretending that he’s Hinata-kun, but I suppose that’s just not in his actual nature.

Without thinking, Komaeda plucks up a shell because it’s rather pretty. A soft, mellow yellow with a pink inward curvature. The kind of shell he’d listen to for the ocean as a child. His smile at the memory is small.

“You are getting distracted,” Kamukura snapped, unimpressed. “Were you interested in this sand castle or not?”

“O-Of course I am.” Komaeda stacks the sand and begins to fill the pail anew. “You’re not much of a team sport, are you?”

“Other participants tend to be a hindrance,” Kamukura said. “It is inefficient.”

“Mm, I suppose that’s true sometimes...” A pause. “And now.”

��Indeed.”

Ouch. He doesn’t even hesitate. Komaeda’s smile twitched. No tact at all, this Kamukura Izuru...

“You are thinking me tactless,” Kamukura remarked. “How boring. Why did you want to associate with me further, then?”

“Like I said, I’m curious about you. This situation is interesting, which keeps me engaged.”

“Boring,” Kamukura said, moving his hands down the castle walls. “There is nothing interesting nor engaging about such an inconsequential, monotonous, and lackluster means of meager entertainment. The possibilities are all predictable and obvious. Nothing unexpected will occur. It is boring. So boring.”

Komaeda stacks more sand.

“I suppose that’s true. It will either get finished or washed away. Then again, I’ve never finished one before. But, then again, I’m not the one doing most of the work.” Komaeda laughs. “So I guess I really am just wasting your time, huh, Kamukura-kun?”

“Without a doubt.”

He’s not surprised by that immediate answer.

“Ehe. Hehe.” He hums as he tries to shape the walls as well. “I wonder why, then, just spending time like this makes me happy. I also wonder why you agreed to do this in the first place.”

“I had nothing better to do,” Kamukura said.

“You could have continued pretending to be Hinata-kun,” Komaeda pointed out. “You could have just retreated into Hinata-kun’s cabin and slept. Hinata-kun’s due for a rest day, after all. And yet, here you are.”

“Boring.” Kamukura didn’t even look at him. “All of those are so very, very boring.”

“You’re so childish,” Komaeda giggled. “It’s cute.”

That finally got Kamukura Izuru to pause.

“...even now, you are like this.”

“Hmm?”

“Even without despair, without hope, this is your personality.” Kamukura’s voice was low, his gaze sharpening yet unreadable. “There really is nothing that can be done about you.”

“Oh.” Komaeda blinked once. Twice. “You really think so?”

Kamukura finally meets his stare. Komaeda shivered, and the smile he gave was wobbly and weak.

“I’m sorry.”

Kamukura opened his mouth, but he shook his head.

“It does not matter,” he says quietly. “It cannot be helped. And change is not always a necessity.”

“I’m only going to get worse,” Komaeda said, even more so. “I suppose—that really is despairing.”

Kamukura said nothing to that. Which was okay. He wasn’t really expecting an answer and to be reassured would’ve been as awkward as it would’ve been agonizing.

I guess I said it to Kamukura-kun because I knew he wouldn’t really care. Strange, having that feeling of certainty in regards to someone I hardly know. But in a strange way, it’s comforting.

“You’re probably going to go away soon, and Hinata-kun definitely needs to return before I worry, but...” Komaeda set the shell atop the castle. “I’d still like to spend more time with you, Kamukura-kun. I think it’s because there’s, hmm, a hope inside of you? Deep inside. I’d still like to see it.”

“Ridiculous,” Kamukura muttered. “But I suppose it does not matter.”

“Nope, not at all! Not on an island like this!” Komaeda exclaimed. “Isn’t that awful? Just the worst kind of luck?”

“We are finished with the sand castle.”

“Ooh, it’s beautiful!”

He does admire their unbalanced share of handiwork, and unsurprisingly, he doesn’t feel much accomplished. But it was fine. Really.

“Thank you, Kamukura-kun!”

“...”

“Can we test our luck at the games at the amusement park later?”

“I will win. Without question.”

“I look forward to it!”

“...”

“Maybe you can also help me cook something edible...?”

“Do I look like a miracle worker?”

Komaeda thought that over.

“Mm... A little. If I’m being honest.”

“Ridiculous.”

Despite all that, Kamukura really didn’t protest when Komaeda pulled at his wrists.

This might neither be good luck or bad luck. Nor despair, nor even hope. But I’m curious all the same. And I want to see what awaits us in the limited time we have together. Hinata-kun, please wait a bit. I want Kamukura-kun to live on for just a little bit longer.

Truth or Consequences

I’ve never really been able to tell whether or not tony was acting in this bit

small muscles, big brain

coffee aficionado and functional mute

it never fails to astound me how much effort media has put into demonizing muslims

I was gonna say it was love driving tony, but I suppose that factors into vengeance

Tony’s full of bs

tony was not dealing well with not having ziva there

we have to deal with the writers pining over Kate for like 11 years but ducky’s over ziva being around after like 2 months? What is wrong with y’all

ziva’s not replaceable

tony, not keeping himself together as well as he used to

even after jeanne he was not so messy

what kind of failure/the kind with casualties

lotta sand

it’s not normal that we haven’t heard from ziva

I swear to god they use my name the most for tertiary characters, there were at least three just last season

I don’t know why they had to make Tony’s trauma fugue funny

neither of them were expecting that

it had to be you

you should not have come

you thought I was dead? then why are you here?

couldn’t live without you, I guess

he couldn’t leave her alone

she is very melodramatic

but so is tony

isn’t that the same “village” tony went to with Nikki

normal work partners

that really looks like the diner from bones, and it’s definitely the one they used previously, but I would assume the bones one was on the fox lot? And that cbs wouldn’t have access to it

tony goes on a schpiel about how attractive Kai is and then tells ziva they must be alike

ok tony

you annoy me sometimes/sometimes?/most of the time

why is she nice to you and not to me?

because you’re emotionally repressed and can’t keep your mouth shut dinozzo

Sayaka and S/O imagine

in a nutshell: its late, im bored out my ass and i need to write something tooth-rottingly sweet with one of the DR Gals because they don’t get enough love.

Imagine and my thoughts under the cut, + thanks if ya actually do read it considering I don’t do much serious writing on this blog.

Ya know, with a lot of the shitposting I do, I don’t get a lot of chances to do some wholesome moments with Danganronpa characters without having to go to angst-ville.

And plus the only other times where it HAS been seen was during my P3 writing stuff. So I decided, fuck it, let’s just make one purely wholesome.

And why not with a DR Gal too?

(if you can’t tell I have a bit of a soft spot for Sayaka)

Word of warning it’s also kinda long as SHIT

Sayaka walked back and forth in the music room impatiently, her mind racing with thoughts.

She had invited her S/O to the room, saying it was a surprise for their birthday. Sayaka spent literal weeks in preparation for this day with a present she thought would reach out to her S/O’s heart.

Earlier that day during lunch...

(Kaede) “Sayaka, how many times do we have to say it? S/O will love the song you wrote no matter what!”

(Ibuki) “Kaede’s right! We practiced with you, and we DEFINITELY would’ve said something if it was shit!”

(Kaede) “N-Not the words I would’ve used but not too far off.”

(Sayaka) “Thanks again you guys, I know I know...It’s just that I really wanna surprise him you know! I made sure to ask Makoto if he could distract S/O while you two get prepped.”

(Kaede) “With Shuichi, Mahiru and Hiyoko’s help, I’m sure that we would’ve been fine!”

(Ibuki) “And besides, the gift itself is amazing! A song written by not ONLY Sayaka Maizono and her gang, but with Risette AND a Japanese speaking Puerto-Rican named Paz! That’s some serious creativity points right there!”

(Kaede) “Yeah, and you look pretty cute in the outfit you’ll be wearing!”

(Sayaka) “Hm...I just hope nothing goes wrong. It seems like when I plan these kinda things, it doesn’t go right.”

(Ibuki) “Just breathe girl! If Ibuki says you’ll be fine, you’ll be fine!”

(Kaede) “We got your back! Now come on, eat up! Your food’s gonna get cold!”

Present...

Sayaka took a deep breath, collecting her thoughts and beginning to calm down.

(Sayaka) “Come on Maizono! You got this! Rise-chan helped you out, Kaede and Ibuki helped you out, you got this! I’m not a little caterpillar, I’m a butterfly now-”

(Makoto’s Voice) “S-Sayaka?”

(Sayaka) “ACK!”

She spun around seeing Makoto and S/O standing in front of the door, slightly wide eyed but awkwardly smiling.

(Makoto) “Were we-snrk-interrupting something?”

(Sayaka) “Bah, shush!”

(S/O) “S-Sayaka? What is all this?”

She smiled widely before snapping her fingers and the curtains behind her unfolding, Kaede, Ibuki, Hiyoko, Shuichi and Mahiru holding instruments.

“Just a little birthday gift.”

I love you todoite kono omoi I love you; I hope these thoughts reach you

kitto itsuka wa kanau yo ne I'm sure one day it'll come true

konna kimochi setsuna sugiru no Such feelings are too painful

...Only to realize Classes 78, 77-B and Kaede’s class were all present and had come into the room without her noticing.

Everyone began clapping, and it only intensified when S/O stood up and they clapped even harder.

Sayaka stood in awe, her face flushing red while the the rest of the band bowed.

(Sayaka) “U-Um...Thank you all!”

(Ibuki) “You didn’t invite these guys did you? I thought we were only performing for S/O!”

(Kaede) “D-Don’t look at me!”

(Mahiru) “Oh, I did. I thought if we were doing a song our classes should see! After all we’re all friends!”

(Shuichi) “Er...as much as a nice thought that is, that song was specifically written for S/O only...”

(Mahiru) “Oh. O-OH. Did I just...?”

(Hiyoko) “Psh, way to screw the pooch on that one...”

Once the crowds began to thin out, S/O went up to a still blushing Sayaka.

(S/O) “Sayaka, that was a beautiful song! I’m really blessed to have someone like you write a song that passionate for me!”

She snapped out of it, and smiled back at S/O, shaking her head.

(Sayaka) “It wasn’t just me ya know. Rise, Paz and everyone in the back here made it possible! I...”

She looked down, too embarrassed to meet their eyes.

(Sayaka) “I just wanted to give you something that you might have a nice memory with...”

(Ibuki & Kaede) “Baaaawwww!”

(Hiyoko) “Bah, you two are a bunch of fuckin broads! You two talk that mushy shit out...oh and happy birthday. Come on, Mahiru.”

Mahiru nodded and bowed before leaving with Hiyoko.

(S/O) “Hey, let’s go out to eat tonight! It’s the least I can do for you after that!”

Sayaka nodded happily and went out with S/O.

(Ibuki) “W-Wait, do we have to clean up the mess?”

(Shuichi) “I say we should just give them the freebie here. It IS a special day for them after all...”

(Kaede) “Shuichi, how come you don’t do anything like that for me?”

(Shuichi) “Wha-YOU’RE THE ULTIMATE PIANIST, WHAT DO YOU THINK I COULD DO?!”

(Ibuki)[Muttering] “Investigate why your ass is about to be put in the doghouse...”

An Introduction to Jung Hoseok

So now it is time for the wonderful Jung Hoseok aka J-Hope aka hobi

This post is for any new Armys out there but it’s also for people who have been around for a while, it’s an appreciation post meets an introduction post

I have quite a few appreciation posts dedicated to Hobi, too many to link tbh but here is my official hobi appreciation post

Also if I miss out on something you love about him or a moment of his that you love, feel free to reply to this post with whatever you wanna add or reblog this and leave it as a comment on there, I’d love to read your guys’ personal favorite moments or qualities about Hoseok, these are just gonna be my personal favorites or things that have stuck out to me

Now an introduction to Hoseok

His full name is Jung Hoseok and his stage name is J-Hope

He is also known as Hobi, both by the fandom and the boys

His birthday is February 18th and he was born in ‘94, making him 24 internationally and either 25 or 26 in S. Korea

I’m not super into astrology but he is an Aquarius (he’s on the cusp though I think that means something in astrology)

He is the third oldest member and he’s also in the ‘94 line with Namjoon

Hoseok is another one of the three official rappers in the group

He’s done an amazing solo song called Mama, which I would highly recommend watching a live performance of bc it is honestly breathtaking to watch him perform at all but especially that song bc his face just lights up and the ending oof I love that song so much

He’s also done a solo song that was an intro, called Boy Meets Evil and when I tell you the choreography to that song is amazing, I’m not exaggerating but I’m gonna get into his dancing in a minute

Would also recommend watching the live performance of Boy Meets Evil, he did one for the MAMA awards, the segment also featured Jimin which was really cool but he has performed it solo if you wanna see that as well

It was released as a comeback trailer, which can be found on the official bighit channel would also recommend that basically just watch all the hobi videos bc you will not be disappointed

Hobi has also come out with a mixtape, titled Hope World

Two singles were released from it, Daydream and Airplane

It was released this year after a lot of anticipation, similar to Yoongi’s mixtape, it was teased for a long time but was definitely worth the wait

It was a ma z ing but were we surprised???? nOPe

He has also done a pre-mixtape song called 1 Verse which is still a j a m (I don’t think he’s ever performed it live but if he has p l z send me a link I will literally be so fucking grateful)

I would describe hobi’s rap style as melodic

Hobi does this thing sometimes where he’ll be half rapping, half singing, like he’ll combine the two and it’s honestly beautiful

Hobi’s singing voice is so underrated and even though he’s a rapper, our boy can sing

I think he was just bumped up to sub vocalist?? like if that doesn’t say something about his vocals idk what will

Hobi is one of the four official dancers in the group (is it four now?? I think Tae was added to the dance line officially by bighit but he’s part of the dance line in my mind so I’m gonna include him in there bc he deserves it)

I literally can’t even describe how amazing of a dancer hobi is like it just doesn’t have words

His dancing is the type of dancing that just holds your attention no matter what and you’re just in awe

He focuses more on hip hop styles of dance, he’s like an ex p e r t in popping (someone p l z get him and Lia Kim in a room together I beg of you)

He’s also a bit of a leader when it comes to dance, helps teach the boys choreo

Now for things hobi is known for within the fandom

Literal sunshine

Smile?? Bright !! Laughter?? Literally rainbows and sunshine !!

Laugh is really loud and happy and :(( beautiful

Cute noises !!!!

If you haven’t seen the “BTS21″ performance of Anpanman, he makes this r e a l l y cute noise at the end but there are literally entire videos dedicated to his cute lil sound effects !!!!! 10/10 recommend watching !!

“Pa pa pa pa pa”

Hope on the Street

Hobi’s done a series of videos called Hope on the Street, which are him dancing, typically solo, sometimes with someone else

There are a few on the BangtanTV channel, there are a couple live versions of VLive and there are a couple on Twitter I believe

“I’m your hope, I’m your angel, I’m J-Hope!”

Literal awkward silence saver

In the American interviews, whenever hobi saw that maybe a member was feeling uncomfortable or didn’t know what to say or there was just an awkward silence possibly starting up, he’d step in and stop that shit in its tracks

Would distract !! Would take over a lil bit to get them through the question so no one had to feel awkward or put on the spot

Has a dog named Mickey

If you’ve never heard hobi baby talk this dog, go look up clips of them together rn bc it is seriously so fucking precious he loves that dog so much

Girl group enthusiast

Loves Sprite

Affectionate !!! Forever hugging the other members, letting them hug him, forever trying to give them kisses

Babies them !!! Li t er al ly babies Jungkook so much

Once put his jacket on for him

Called Jin a mite once for clinging onto him and made it a running joke

Otsukare song

Can make pretty much anyone laugh

DEFINES C U T E

Ethereal? Ethereal.

Speaking of ethereal, here are some of my favorite hobi looks

I think the first one is ob v io u s bc this look was beauty

Red hair!Hobi

A blessed look

It was in the DNA era b ut it stuck around for a while

Hobi has said it’s one of his favorite colors on him and you know what hobi I agree

It made his skin just g l o w it made him look tan and you kn o w I love when hobi’s tan skin comes thro ugh

A close second that is kinda related to the red is orange hair!Hobi

She was from the BST era, aka the Wings era

Maybe I just like red based colors on him but iDK MAN HE LOOKS FINE AS HELL

I loved the orange so much??? I can’t remember how long it actually stuck around but it was a beautiful time

And of course, you already know what I’m gonna say next

Black hair!Hobi

What is it about black hair on these boys that makes me wanna fight

Hobi just looks r e a l ly good with black hair okay I’ll literally fight on this

I think my favorite black hair on him may be from the Run era but I also really love curls on him so I had to choose this one

He’s had black hair in a few different eras but this particular look is from the Fake Love era (it’s an Airplane Pt. 2 performance)

But that wraps up my introduction to Hobi, make sure to give him some love and appreciation bc he is a very important member of BTS (as all of them are) and deserves to be given the same love and support as the rest of the members
