BOMGYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
prenotes (OK ALSO. sorry for being a raging pervert in this post btw. it's like well Once I like them even more I will cease to have any sexy thoughts about them at all, so let's just get this out of the way rn)
I'm on day3 of my moa treatment. here are my preliminary thoughts. NOT TO BE TAKEN AS *SCHOLARSHIP* *ACADEMIA* *META* in any way shape or form. this is just the Then of my future Then v. Now txt thought poasties. this was very much inspired by nico's ramblings about soobin which, was kind of just a loosely organized trail of thoughts. I love that post, I owe nico my life, WE BOTH <3 SOOBIN, and she's so incisive and thoughtful and thorough in how she describes him ;-; nico my bby.okay ANYWAY. I legiterally never expected to like txt This Much. like I thought I would like soobin and enjoy hyuka's face. ok no I'm like fulled txtpiled. I'm in my MoA era, I hope it continues, I love Good Boy Gone Bad, I love the stages especially, I hope this inspires oomfs to join me in the txtventure and moas to befriend. also to be completely like transparent with what all this is based off of: a few youtube compilations of txt momence (series of unfortunate events, beomjun comp), some scattered random to-do eps (outlaws, gift exchange, biggest winner, go home first, ep5!!), and some scattered interviews (60% of the jessi interview, teen vogue??, etc).
okaur. I've decided to order this, via interestingness. so the sections will be as follows:
0. bias ranking (so everyone is well aware of what informs my opinions, my pre-biases)
1. 1/0 scale (SORRY FOR BEING A PERVERT. AND ASSUMING EVERYONE ELSE IS ALSO A PERVERT. BUT AM I WRONG!!?!?!)
2. shippy agendas (main event of any post really)
3. member breakdowns (personal views, eat with salt, etc) (I will say though I don't hate any single member so no haterism in this post is present at alllll)
1. 1/0 scale (SORRY FOR BEING A PERVERT. AND ASSUMING EVERYONE ELSE IS ALSO A PERVERT. BUT AM I WRONG!!?!?!)
2. shippy agendas (main event of any post really)
3. member breakdowns (personal views, eat with salt, etc) (I will say though I don't hate any single member so no haterism in this post is present at alllll)
bias sorter:
1. soobin
2. BOMGYUUUUUU
3. hyuka == taehyun
4. yeonjun
2. BOMGYUUUUUU
3. hyuka == taehyun
4. yeonjun
(...)
if you read this list and think: This doesn't seem correct or accurate judging from the title of this post. you don't know me the way I know me. or BEOMGYU.but really, no one was surprised. actually well I was slightly surprised since soogyu were my original 2pick like right when they debuted … so like danggg… alright… love at first sight has yet to lead me astray… Though I did think yj might’ve ranked higher due to high rankerisms but actually bomgyu is Also a high ranker ANDDD is a crazy evil girl of the worlddd so :). ok I will not lie I had some negative bias towards taehyun but he’s like sooooo… perfectly neutral and calm and nice all the time it’s like Damn okay. also :,) ship truelove is when guy who’s nice all the time is not nice to you specifically :,) okay whatever watching actual txt content has fixed me and restructured me and made my heart grow three to eight times in size etc etc Taehyun I am so sorry to whatever misconceptions I had about past you, I no longer hold them. I want u to find true love with the person I think you should be in true love with. FIN. I don't expect this to change in any way.
1/0 scale
as you all know, I am a woman of Opinions. of Original and Strange and Occasionally Esoteric and Peculiar thought. I do want to preface this with like, a tweet I twote about TxT: “also like the overall effect of what if ur entire group was bottoms.”that kind of is how I feel but for the sake of ranking them even more... from like … most to least 1 it’d be like:
taehyun/yeonjun/beomgyu can fight for dominance (all of them are like <1, like =<0.5 to me still tho) …
- Ok this needs a little bit of explaining though. taehyun is like, he would not care, it could go either way. yeonjun/beomgyu are like … No one else around here is willing to top. or like yeonjun is.
- beomgyu is actually I think the least toppy woppy out of all of the three however what he lacks in actual will to top, he makes up for spirit of passion to topping. like beomgyu does not care about topping but he would love to argue that he could top.
- yeonjun would be down to getting railed. not by anyone from txt though. but also beomgyu would probably be annoying enough that it could happen like that. OHHHHH MY GODDDDD okay what I’m trying to say is that psychologically beomgyu is a 1. otherwise. eh.
hnk (.000000002(???)) (personal bias about boys who are extremely beautiful i guess) (and also Um. well. what if u had the consistency and disposition of a sunbeam) (and also were lame and cute and had a serious case of pre puberty voice)
soobin (0000000000) (sorry that him being 6’4 is the funniest fujo joke god has ever played on anyone but Seriously… Seriously)
- I do want to point out this ranking has nothing to do with who I actually want to see railed or not*... and actually I think my otp is reverseOK, like bg_left is Good bg_right is Good, Love is Love I See No Difference👍 …
- I mean if anything I would prefer it to always strictly be soobinRIGHT however he is 6’4 so its just funny when thats not the case Simply and Only because he’s 6’4 (…) hnkleft probably is something that would turn me off way more than soobinleft LAWL… As you know…girls who loves visuals... and uh... beautiful boys of ever❤️
- (*I think? like if it was about who I wanted to top, yj would be 1. so this is not my delusion but what I perceive to be accurate) (I guess the item on this list that's actually most controversial is hnk placement. which. well I can't provide everyone with all the answers and explanations always)
MY SHIP REAL
okay I think we ALL saw this coming. or *I* saw this coming. for the record. I watched like 1.5 episodes of to do and then I was like:- fullsunfullsunfullsu(...) @gayrenjun: I think taehyun and beomgyu should interact more
- fullsunfullsunfullsu(...) @gayrenjun: guy who wins games by folllowing the rules versus guy who wins games by causing chaos
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
permutative HAD ALREADY MADE A SHIP PRIMER FOR THEM AND THEY WERE REALLLL IN THE TEXTTTTT.um to me so far its like beomgyu—->| taehyun which is not to say it’s one-sided it’s more like taehyun is less nice to beomgyu than to any other member and that means BEOMGYUUUU IS SPECIALLLL TO HIM❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And so My Ship Real❤️ But also like bomgyu actually does not know how to show any affection in the correct ways at all so his form of love is by bullying❤️
...is what I think so far but I would never know.
AND ALSO once again SHAKTI PREDEBUT PERMUTATIVE FAMOUSSSS TO MEEEEE for PERFECTTTT TAEGYU FIC!!! when beomgyu just lies. and then lies again. And then keeps lying <3<3<3 and taehyun spends the entire fic going like: 'Hmmm.......It seems like I could like beomgyu. I will consider it carefully." seriously perfect taehyun voice and perfect maniac pixie crazy girls of world bomgyuuuuuu... I promise to leave u a comment soon legend.
ummm… okay I seriously think revOK for taegyu.
- like beomgyu can top bc femmetop rights and I feel like u could lean way too much into basic bl casting if u make him the 0.
- on the other hand its a classic anime boygirl ship. so you know. and beomgyu is the girl...
- and like I’ll be real originally I was deeply opposed to beomgyu bottoming and I think this dynamic works better if he tops anyway (esp following with my own ideals and beliefs) HOWEVERRRR I think I actually might prefer taegyu in that order. mostly bc even more CUTEST GIRLS OF WORLDDDD beomgyu mileage becoming possible to me :,)
- and also it is true he’s tiny* (*5’10) and compact and can be blown away by the wind and is physically weak and pretty vulnerable and susceptible etc etc which I don’t mean like… in the bl uke way but more like I think it’d be something really — revealing? in a sex scene, because I think beomgyu is always so much bigger than life in action and its always noticeable that he’s smaller but not Felt so for it to be Felt as well … 🥲
I thought there would be more yeonbin but yeonbin is disappointingly non existence even though all these twitter clip compilations are telling me elsewise!!!! stoppp ik these are the two main and biggest txt ships (according to ao3) as if its my fault I love popular ships when theyre in the canon!!!
- soogyu is my 2pick but soobin is like too 🤍🐇🐰 for beomgyu for it to be viable to meeeeeeee …
- beomjun is a skip because taegyu is Right There. like beomgyu can ruin yeonjun’s day but he does that for fun, not out of love.
- tyunning is also a no from me… BEOMGYU IS RIGHT THEREEEEE AND FAR MORE INCOMPATIBLE WITH TAEHYUN… why would u want him to have a lovely and wonderful life with lovely and wonderful huka when unlovely times and nightmare girl bomgyuuu WHO HE DOESN'T WANTTTT is RIGHT THEREEEEE
- sookai which ik is real in the text and in canon and goes crazy or whatever but like thats 0for0shipping to me and I want to see both of them railed!!!!!!! their true and pure codependent love may win BUT I DONT!!! ... and I'm morally opposed to either of them topping each other so like. ONCE AGAIN!!! their true and pure codependent love may win BUT I DONT!!!!!!!!!!
- I think the only other thing Im actually interested in is like beomkai … idk if they exist tbh … but the soobin triangulation would make it so goodddddd!!!!
member breakdowns
okay this part is actually embarrassing. if the uh. section for the namesake of this post is embarrassingly long just pretend you didn't see. if it looks like I have some kind of bias. just. you know. if it looks like I misjudged who my 1pick is. just Trust Me. it's gemini szn and I love girls who are crazy more than ever rn. ANYWAY. I reallyyyyy like everyone and every member way more than I planned it's cwazyyyyyy. though I must say I think I chose the most perfect 2pick ever in the world for txt like I'm winning. somehow. like you can win in txt 2picking and I AM DOING THAT!!!
SOOBIN
I love my baby very much he is 🐰🐇🤍 like 🐰🐇🤍 yk like bnyuuuyyy like bnnyuuuyyyy🐰🐇🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇🤍🐰🤍🐰🐇🤍 1pick of worldddddd…I think soobin is perfect … he clearly is quite independent and individualistic, but not to the extent where he will abandon teamwork or not fall victim to mob-mentality or so … HOWEVER it’s not in the interest of like placing himself first or giving himself the least amount of work or things like that, but making sure work is not unevenly distributed ;-; like in the interest of EQUALITY and FAIRNESS… which is really cute and a really interesting, but well-chosen trait for a leader ;; so cute when he did half the push-ups for beomgyu, and then when he saved round1 but felt guilty and donated every other time <333, and the way he wanted to hold onto the ps5 gift but was *pouty face* when hyuka actually let him keep it SOOO CUUUUTEEEEEE SOOBINNNNN.
otherwise soobin is so soft and cute and like baby but not actually baby like He is My Baby but he’s pretty normal in most respects… I like how huggy and excitable he is and I like how he’s very baseline and somewhat lowkey, but not in a way you can’t shake him into higher or lower energy levels. I would describe him as flexible … but then I also have to say his favouritism and preferences are sooo obvious always ;-; … the way he’ll like crane his neck to see what hyuka is up to at the other end of the room but won’t care about the person next to him is doing
I like that he is not strategically minded but isn’t above some opportunities for revenge and general mischief...I also think it's really cute how he'll go along with anything;-; I haven't really seen any of the heartfelt momence that nico mentioned, but I don't doubt that they exist and he is at least a little bit, the emotional heart of txt!!! also I love how delusionally he is gripping onto this 'sexy' concept image... Bby u are many things but not that. SORRY FOR HAVING SO LITTLE TO SAY...I just think soobin has the most perfect face of ever he is sooo handsome and pretty and cute; and he's sooooo beautifully proportioned and ridiculously tall and long and slender and most of all PERFECT in every way possible. and his speaking voice is such a nice tenor.
if anything, I really think he is a perfect fit into my 1pick themology of loving guys who are a little boring and earnest and somewhat culpable to delusion<3
STAGE
I think it's soooo fun to watch him dance, because he's sooo long and limbful and generally very graceful and well-practiced to his movements. SERIOUSLY HIS BODY LINES ARE SOOO BEAUTIFUL....who else blew up watching opening sequence? however. WE NEED RETURN OF THE CUTE FRESH FUN CONCEPT FOR HIM!!!! remember when soobin did a gg dance and it blew up so much that it literally became known as his song? AND THEN THEY IMMEDIATELY MOVED ONTO EDGY DARK CONCEPTS... cries cries cires YOU FOOLS STOP NERFING HIS STATS!!!
and I tweeted this already but I will transcribe it here:
- (me)I actually really like goodboy gone bad but we need to stop letting soobin take hits just so yeonjun can show off his jokercosplay on stage
- (me)WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR CUTE FRESH REFRESHING CONCEPTS? YEONJUN CAN DO THOSE TOO. BUT SOOBIN CAN'T DO BAD BOY!!!!
- (nico)His face literally cant move in that way like seriously its not his fault. the least they could do is let him smile a little
bomgyu
can I just say that this is embarrassing? can I just say that I didn't expect to write so much about him at all. can I just say------ [dragged offstage by a cane]
BOMGYUUUUUUUUUU… I saw in cat and dog mv he’s cat?coded and I was like So true he is a cat with doggo mannerisms. or vice-versa.will the girl scholarship ever die? No! will kpop boy assigned girl meta ever end? NO!!! Will Beomgyu Is Does The GIRL? Yes.
- he is my crazy [evil] girls of the WORLDDDDDD … ❤️❤️ if you don’t understand JUST UNDERSTAND. it’s seriously thru tho he’s not a crazy boy or simply crazy he’s Crazy Girls. of world. if you don’t get the nuance idk uhhh it’s like he’s maniac pixie dream girl of the group. but not actually anyone’s dream girl. So just manic pixie girl. he’s haruhi suzumiya. [taehyun is kyon, i hope this helps].he is impolite society and rude and he would blow up the universe for fun and everything should go his way and he has to fight everyone and the universe is centered around him AND HES MYYYYY PERFECT GIRL OF WORLDDDDDD.
- sorry not my fault hes the main character of Ever to MEEEEEE!!!!! hes overdramatics and screaming and talking back and witty remarks and he [girl]bullies the boy he likes because he doesn’t know how to show his love and he’s TEENSY* AND SMALL* AND DELICATE AND HAS A FACE LIKE THAT!!! (*he is 5’10.) (*He Is 5'10.)
- Oh. AND HE LIES JUST FOR FUN. HE LIES JUST TO LIE. my beautiful crazy girl of world who Loves chaos and discord and making the lives of everyone on set hard … random bomgyu moment I really loved was when they were picking which cookie and he tells yeonjun that his one is the one yj's reaching for and he doesn’t even care that yj was getting it first and then yeonjun just waits until everyone is done picking to grab his plate … like omgggg you really are seriously self-centric terrible girls of WORLDDDDD… yes the entire universe should revolve around you and bend to your will MY BBBYYYGIRLLLLL +++ omg in addition to this like the to-do getting off work episode and theyre filming his bit outside the studio room and he literally just Walks Off Camera to go back in and yell about forgetting to put the dakji(?) back. like he doesnt even explain to the person filming😭😭😭 Ok I understand not everyone would think this is charming but I think his thoughtlessness is so charming because he genuinely does have so many other charms to make it make senseee… like he would not be as perfect and terrible crazy horrible girl bullies of world unless he was like this!!!!
- like as a tangent point I think marklee is like pretty thoughtless/lacks awareness like this too but in mark’s case you know it was because he was very well loved and cared for … versus with beomgyu it’s not out of an excess of affection that he’s like this, it’s just the way he is!!!!
- I feel like I have to point out that I keep saying ‘center of universe’ etc as descriptors of him which is NOT AT ALLL like being the center of every room or being attention-catching or like simply doing so out of want for attention … he doesn’t care who is paying attention to him He Will Be Heard. Like all his dramatics and yelling aren’t to the point of getting his group members to pay attention to him, its because He wants to make an impassioned speech about how theyve betrayed 5 years of teamwork by not donating!!!!!! etc etc … SO PERFECTTT TO MEEE. and therefore even though only the camera is listening to him, I believe the universe should be rearrnaged to center around BEOMMGYUUUUU … idk like the kind of existence that’s like I exist so I’ll be loud about it. I exist so why shouldn’t I take up space? >>>HE IS SOOO PERFECT TO MEEEEEEE
- EDIT 10/0622: I would more concisely describe him as 'A Very Hormonal Girl [She Is On Her Period].'
stage: why did they stop letting him rapper I WANT RAPPER BEOMGYU BACKKK. not because he raps particularly well or anything I just love prettyboy rappers and beomgyu is soooooo perfect for it and it wouldve been so funny to me!!!!! (...) on a different note, I think while he's maybe one of the weaker dancers, which seems mostly just due to him having less weight to throw around anyway so his moves don't feel as impactful ;; I THINK HE IS AMONG THE MAIN SLAYERS OF THE GOOD BOY GONE BAD STAGE!!! in general I think it's reallyyy fun to watch him on stage for like their more 'mature' concepts, like loser/lover/1x0/gbgb he gets so into itttt... also I love the thing he does with his voice... not that txt 'sing' but uhhh his voice being on kind of the deeper side and him always leaning into it IS SO PERFECTTT TO MEEEEE...idk ig it's like the quality of it going hoarse?... whatever I like it and think he's perfect!!! also gbgb stages are sooo funn to me in particular because he seems so small* (*He is 180cm) compared to the rest of them... so automatically it's like Awww Shawtys gonna come in now.... wtf am I even saying rn. whatever it's not like when ptg jinho or other goblin members do it tho, it's special because BOMGUUUU is the most special girls of the universe Of Ever. EVERY WORD I ADD MAKES THIS WORSE AND WORSEEE ICANTTTTT ICANTTTTTTTTT
kind of as a different aside I have to mention that he kind of is like jaemin if jaemin slayed. as in like he's gremlin. but actually he slays way more and also, asforementioned!!! IS A CRAZY GIRL!!!! which is so much more important than having a quality of being similar to jaemin.
ANYWAY sorry I just think beomgyu is sooooo perfect in every single way ever and have so much affection for him BECAUSE! HE IS!!!! PERFECTTTTTT!!!!!!!!! TO MEEEEEEEEE. beomgyu seriously walks into any set and asks ‘how can I make someone’s* day Worse?’ And regardless of whether he can come up with the answer he still does exactly that❤️(*yeonjun) (<- preliminary thoughts)
hyuka
I would like hyuka so much more if he was a girlgroup member. How do I explain that. I LIKE HIM A LOT AS HE IS!!!! he and taehyun are equal to me!!!! its just that I don’t care for cuddly kind nice cutesy affectionate boygroup members… .____. Mrrp. I really like cutie aegyo girlgroup members though LAWLLLL... If I could change my tastes for him I WOULDDDDD… but like LOLLL. I love that he’s lame and I love that his speaking voice is so — ???? The way it is. I think he has a perfect awkward innocence to him and He is SOOO SWEEEETTTT everyone knows he’s so sweet but seriously🥲 he is so sweet and simple and happy and cheerful and it is sooo endearing and slay and lovely … hes so earnest and talented and THE REVERSE IS SO SO SOS SOOOOOOO CUUUTE … I think its genuinely so amazing how like you cannot tell that he’d be like this offstage from onstage. or that from offstage he’d be like That Onstage. I love that txt refuse to laugh at any of his jokes and I love that he'll keep going regardless of thatttt... I think he has that really unbashed air to him, where he's not shy or self-conscious, and will always just say what he thinks/offer his two cents/etc etc. realllyyyy realllyyyyy cute and perfect trait TO MEEEEEE. I feel like it's such a big tell of when someone's grown up with a lot of affection and love and care freely offered to them ;-; IDK I think you can tell he's just really loved.stage: HE IS BY FARRRRR MY FAVOURITE MEMBER TO WATCH ON STAGE... esp for their recent stages [soobin always wins cute concepts TO ME] ... as I mentioned, his reversal charm goes crazy... but also he's such a good dancer and performer and singer!!!! like I'm pretty sure most of the reason I like gbgb is bc hyuka slays it so harddddd.... he also just went soooo fucking crazy in their frost perf like... DAMN. OKAY. like I think I'd already decided like by run away, when I was watching an angel or devil stage, that hyuka was the best performer out of them and also my favourite performer, and HE'S JUST. ONLY. GOTTEN. BETTER!!!! seriously so amazing to see him, I'm always blown away <333 <333 EVEN MORE SO NOWWWWW THAT I KNOW WHAT HES LIKE OFFSTAGE!!!
tyuntyun
okay firstly Every moment I really am so sorry to taehyun for underestimating him so bad and manifesting negative thoughts towards him IM SOOOOWWWYYYYYYYYYYYY… I like him so much!!!! I think he's by far the most well-spoken and probably the most well-read and well-rounded member... SERIOUSLY SO SORRY FOR JUDGESTIMATING U SO HARD KINGGG... it kind of really is so fun to have him play as the straight man to the rest of txt's silliness and need for chaos. like It Will Always Be:- th: guys you win like this *demonstrates*
- txt: why would we do that? that's for LOSERS and LAMEOS. real ones win by CHEATING and NOT CARING ABOUT THE GAME AT ALL
- th: okay.
stage: he's not my favourite to watch on-stage but you cannot deny he is very well-rounded and good at his job. EDIT: I would describe him as very textbook; in that he does exactly what he has to to make his performance good. sorry that I am not particularly passionate, like he's very good!!! I just am not watching tyun fancams on my own time like that .____. mrp
yeonjub
what if you were a highranker who was a loser? IT'S NOT YEONJUN'S FAULT HE'S CURSEDDDD.... um the trials and tribulations one CHOI YEON JUN has gone through.... he's baby and slayer and I expected him to be ... more eye-catching? ? ? based off stantwt's general treatment of him, and all the fanservice affaciando tweets I've seen but eh. I like that he minds his own buisiness and does what he does competently and highrankerly and then Loses anyway. I kind of expected him to be more cutthroat but I guess it's like.... his image/words are sharper than his actual personality and actions. from what I've seen so far, I think he's very considerate[-ly affectionate?] if not like cuddly affectionate ... ok I legitermitly have so little to say.... first of all I'm tired second of all I am not paying attention to him WHEN BEOMGYU OFFSCREEN DOING SOMETHING. ok sorry. he's a slayer he slays!!!stage: he's the center. what do u want me to say? he's not center-like? if he wasn't the center, he would not be the center. he's the center for a reason like he has yet to be replaced by hnk!!! which speaks for itself I feel. I do really think his hair slays for gbgb and that his joker cosplay rap part Also slays. oh YEAH also one of the only 4th gen bg rappers I like >.> ... OHHHH I also saw a youtube short that was like claiming he makes every dance look super hard... and I AGREE... he really pays attention to detail when dancing it's quite amazing... again! highranker slayer who slays!!!
closing notes.... er...... here is my favourite good boy gone bad stage LOL. why is it so good you ask? all the members who I think should be wearing chokers are wearing chokers. also beomkai in a lowcut shirts ahhhhhhh aaaaaaahhhhh... perfect amount of skin reveal for MEEEE. OK just in particular beomkai look sooooo good and slayyyyy so hard in this. hahaha thank u if u read, bye byeeee.
