This master list is a collection of analysis essays, headcanons, and comic book panels posted by my favorite bloggers. I did not write any of the posts linked below, and I do not own any pictures used. All credit goes to the original artists and bloggers who created this content. 

I created this master list intending to archive my favorite posts. I am sharing it because I believe this list is a perfect jumping-off point for new fans who want a comprehensive guide to understanding these characters.

I encourage you to interact with original bloggers and also comic canon. 

Please send me an ask or DM if you want to talk about comic books.

Thank you

[astraealuxe]

tonight… i’m thinkin about the slope of jung hoseok’s shoulders

i’m thinking about the wet of his mouth as he drinks from a bottle, i’m thinking about him slumping back into a seat… hm, thinking restaurant

i’ve had this atmosphere in mind for a while now, toying with it. of course it comes from namjoon’s perspective, the slope of hoseok’s shoulders brushing his own. hoseok’s unstraightened back is the true sight of him coming loose

a private booth, perhaps? i’m thinking light woods and underlit crevices in the walls, cool white light against the wood to diffuse it yellow

i’m not myself such a fan of white light, but i certainly think it would suit this mood a little. it would slit across the pupils, so i’d change it to be vertical. a surrounded, private booth. i want this to be ot7 but it takes too much brainpower to imagine them all so now i focus only on hoseok and namjoon and the contact between them

emptied side dishes strewn across the table, remnants and leftovers of them having had stretched to each others meals, the easy interchange of their trails from plate to hand to mouth, chopsticks wet at the tips and little indents on their fingers from where they were held

hoseok’s rosy lethargy all splayed over his face, his hair sticking out at the ends. namjoon’s got an urge to smooth it out and reach out to his hair but he holds himself back out of some reason unknown to himself

i’ve thought of yoongi and seokjin here, too, and the maknae as well. these little groups. yoongi and seokjin across the table, and there’s some interlude between where hoseok murmurs about how sleepy yoongi-hyung looks, because his head is tipped back to the wall of the booth and his mouth is open in its upside-pout, cheeks rounded by the pull of his lower lip

hoseok’s remark comes as a question-type lilt, “yoongi-hyung looks sleepy, don’t you think?” unassuming as a pebble, but it tumbles in his mind, grit and all, and judders somewhere roughly into namjoon. that sleep-rumble in hoseok’s voice

some pushing at seokjin, the hair-raise of awareness and arousal, the prickle and drip, too, for namjoon. so namjoon’s pushing at seokjin, “hyung, where’s your hand?”, because seokjin is watching yoongi with this inward quirk to his eyebrow, the thick and dense gather at the center but it’s aaaall mischief, there’s a pull to his mouth, too, a cute one, keyhole kiss-shaped and “oh, sweetheart”-mocking, playful. and seokjin’s arm is beneath the table, namjoon can’t see it, and yoongi’s head lolls so his open lips tough to seokjin’s shoulder, button-down fabric scrunched beneath yoongi’s mouth and namjoon feels, almost, the damp heat of breath from yoongi’s mouth overlaid hoseok’s press against him, too

“hyung, your hand,” again, this a restaurant, despite the shielded booth, they’ve finished up their plates. your hand, hissed, and yoongi’s eyes slit open on namjoon—the inset light are here for this, cat-like slits up his pupils. the outer corners of his eyes pinched in sleek amusement, mouth-edge curled against seokjin’s shoulder, and seokjin’s touching him under the table, slow rock of his palm inside yoongi’s slacks, namjoon knows it, and hoseok’s mouth has moved to peek beneath namjoon’s collar, the wet of hoseok’s lips cool from his drink, and the heat of his breath condensing on namjoon’s skin

anyways this is an old thought i once communicated, i’m going to sleep laying in all of this
