BTS: Moral Alignment

Seokjin: Lawful Good

“He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion.”

Yoongi: Lawful Evil

“A lawful evil villain methodically takes what he wants within the limits of his code of conduct without regard for whom it hurts. He is comfortable in a hierarchy and would like to rule, but is willing to serve. Lawful evil creatures consider their alignment to be the best because it combines honor with a dedicated self-interest.”

Hoseok: Neutral Good

“A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. Neutral goods value both personal freedom and adherence to laws. They feel that too many laws may unnecessarily restrict the freedom of good beings. They also believe that too much freedom may not protect society as a whole. These characters value life and freedom above all else, and despise those who would deprive others of them.”

Namjoon: Chaotic Good

“A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society.”

Jimin: Lawful Neutral

“A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs him. Order and organization are paramount to him. He may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or he may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government.”

Taehyung: Neutral Good

“To a neutral good being, life and the assurance of other creatures' rights take precedence over all else. Neutral good beings also believe that law and chaos are merely tools to use in bringing life, prosperity, and happiness to all deserving creatures. He will follow the law unless more good can come from breaking the law. He will never betray a family member, comrade, or friend.”

Jungkook: Chaotic Neutral

“A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. He may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. With this as a guiding principle, they tend to follow whatever whim strikes them at the moment.”

hoseok, please.

don’t let her win again. don’t give in to shame, or the thought that you can never escape your past or become someone different to who you were a decade ago. one of the most amazing things about life is that we aren’t born once and for all on the day our mothers give birth to us, but that we are able to give birth to ourselves over and over; to learn, to change, to grow— and you’ve grown into someone so sincere and valuable and worthy.

don’t leave us like this, not when all that truly matters is the love you have from the thousands and thousands of hearts across the world who’ve fallen for yours, the love that you’ve inspired precisely because you are so sincere and valuable and worthy.

the night sky will forever be more beautiful for its constellations, and all the beautiful ways they join together to light up the darkness.

Changkyun Touch Analysis

Changkyun is often known as the sulky, dark, emo but oh so loveable maknae of Monsta X. His outward appearance and mannerisms fashion an intriguing duality compared to what he internally thinks and feels. On the outside he keeps a distance, makes himself less noticeable, and doesn't talk as much as some of the others. He wears his dark and formless clothes, speaks softly, and rarely initiates more contact with his members than a hand on the shoulder. It could be easy to assume that he isn't that engaged or interested in all the extrovert energy that constantly surrounds or that he even gets annoyed with how he is constantly being touched or surrounded by so much attention. Changkyun's outward image does show this to some extent, but the truth shows the other side of his duality. In a way, our maknae seems almost touch-starved and relishes when one of his hyungs quietly gives him attention on or off camera. He's almost like a large cat that growls when someone gets too close, but then purrs as soon as someone initiates skinship. Usually Hyungwon, Minhyuk, and Wonho are the most attuned to his guilty pleasure and often indulge him by stroking his hair, his thighs, or his back (the most sensitive areas). If you look closely in some video compilations you can tell that Changkyun almost instantaneously leans into the touch or goes completely limp with relaxation like when Minhyuk pulled him back and cuddled him during his and Kihyun's Vlive. When he's entirely calm he has an almost blissed-out look on his face the second gets his hands on him. His reactions are also somewhat reciprocal when he feels comfortable enough (usually almost always when he's with Jooheon). He is willing to stroke alongside their ribs or thread his fingers through their hair until they start to smile at him or nuzzle his face or neck. I think that Changkyun enjoys the powerful dark tsundere exterior, partially because it suits him so well, but also so it can hide just how much of a puppy our maknae is.

Monsta X as Types of Love: Changkyun

Mania: Obsessive Love

Definition: “Mania love is a type of love that leads a partner into a type of madness and obsessiveness. To those who experience mania, love itself is a means of rescuing themselves; an escape from their personal demons, a reinforcement of their own value as the sufferer of poor self-esteem or loneliness. This person wants to love and be loved to find a something to hold onto in life. When escalated, this love can become possessive and jealous lovers, feeling as though they desperately “need” their partners.

Reason: Even as the youngest, it is safe to say that of all the members in Monsta X Changkyun has one of the deepest and darkest minds. Dark not in the sense of malicious or full of hatred, but completely unfathomable and full of deliciously intricate complexities. He is quiet, loud, broody, joyful, violent, and gentle all at the same time. In love, Changkyun is not interested in anything or anyone until he is, and when he finds that special “one”, his mind unconsciously latches onto that person with unimaginable strength. He will not necessarily be incapable of focusing on anything else in his life, but without a doubt the object of his affections will permeate through every waking thought in his head and cause him to hyper-focus on them. Throughout his time in Monsta X, it is easy to see that at the end of the day Changkyun just wants to be loved. Even when he is sulking in the background or sitting apart from the other members, the second someone gives him attention or affection he is all but purring in the lap of that member. The desire to be loved equally transfers itself to the desire to love, which he is capable of doing with an unwavering intensity.

Changkyun’s Love Language: Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Physical Touch, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts

~Make me free, Make me lean, and Baby, Make me see~

Monsta X as Types of Love: Jooheon

Philia: Affectionate Love

Defintion: “This is the deep, loyalty-bound love that is felt towards friends. The ancient Greeks thought this kind of love was better than Eros (sexual love), because it represented love between people who considered themselves equals. It is another type of selfless love and one that is more platonic in nature. It does not require much to be sustained, and as with most types, it grows deeper with time.”

Reason: While Jooheon can be a very sexual person, he is able to express himself and his love in so many more distinguished and flexible ways. This type of love allows him to be present mentally, emotionally, physically, and verbally and do things that other would find uncomfortable. Because philia is his type of love, he is able to adapt himself in a way to be there for each member’s needs, something that is very unique and not often found. Like him, his love is unique and can be visibly seen soothing the moods of those around him.

Jooheon’s Love Language: Physical Touch

~I’m with you to the end of the line.~

*Pic isn’t mine*

[aestheticallyaurum]

Monsta X as Types of Love: Hyungwon

Philautia: Self-Love

Definition: “In modern times this love is often mistaken for what we would call narcissism though it couldn’t be more of an opposite. It is impossible to give to someone else what we don’t have for ourselves, and love is no different. In order to give and receive love to and from others, we must first love ourselves and be willing to share that same amount of love with those around us.”

Reason: Hyungwon gives so much love to his members, yet most people only see the love he has for himself. He knows that he is tall, beautiful, and powerful, yet favors sharing these attributes with the other members instead of himself. He is constantly in the background, making sure that the other member’s are sure of themselves and letting his love sustain them when their own fails. In a sense, because of his abundance of self-love, his is the most selfless.

Hyungwon’s Love Language: Quality Time

~Love thy neighbor as thyself~

*Pic isn’t mine*

[aestheticallyaurum]

Monsta X as Types of Love: Kihyun

Agape: Unconditional Love

Defintion: “An altruistic, selfless, unconditional love, the Greeks believed this type was exceptionally radical, perhaps because so few people seem capable of feeling it long-term. Agape has been described as one of the deepest emotional loves, sometimes bordering on spiritual.”

Reason: The type of man that Kihyun is does not allow for any shallow or fleeting emotion. Like Hyungwon, his emotions do not show until they are fully matured and exactly what is meant to be portrayed, be it through actions, words, or facial expressions. Kihyun is willing to go the ends of the Earth in the name of love, and through this philosophy it shows the purity and depth of what he feels for those he loves.

Kihyun’s Love Language: Quality Time

~Peace and Love go Hand in Hand~

*Pic isn’t mine*

[aestheticallyaurum]

Monsta X as Types of Love: Wonho

Eros: Romantic Love

Definition: “Usually associated with romantic, passionate, and physical love, it is an expression of sexual passion and desire. In ancient times, many believed that this was the most dangerous type of love, however even now people believe that it is the most passionate.”

Reason: Wonho loves and loves being loved. The few who he shares his heart with have it in its entirety and for eternity. Along with Minhyuk, he’s usually known as the most touch member of the group, but it’s because he truly cannot keep himself from displaying his love to the others and wanting them to feel comforted by it. When they feel loved, so does he.

Wonho’s Love Language: Physical Touch

~Love and love intensely~

*Pic doesn’t belong to me*
