Why am I not so active on Tumblr anymore? 😔

I'm a seasoned Jikook supporter... have been since they did that cute move in 21st century girl way back in 2016. I joined Tumblr in 2017 and have lived here ever since. And I'm not leaving anytime soon...but

But people grow and evolve. I'd be worried if after 5 years, the possibilty of two strangers' involvement in a romantic relationship were still as important to me as it was when I first got into it. I'm not saying I'm no longer a jikooker or anything, baby I'm in this shit for life.

Anyway, It's just that for years, jikook Tumblr was the first thing I checked in the morning and the last before I went to sleep. Every moment, every touch, every word between them... I lived for it and I had a blast on here. But it run its course and like in most relationships, my honeymoon phase with jikook was over. I'm still very much a supporter and in love with Jm and Jk as a couple but I'm at a point where my eyes are "adjusted to the glare" so to speak. I believe they're in love and in a romantic relationship but they won't soon come out publicly...so where do I go from here?

I decided to take a step back and fill my time building myself. I'd been so occupied by them for so long, that when it seemed like there was nothing more for me to uncover, to investigate or explain to others, I felt like there was no more need to be in it 24/7.

I didn't leave Tumblr or Jikook. I simply reached the end of a rollercoaster chapter and I'm now on a much mellower one. So whenever jikook out jikook themselves, you'll run across me here, hyping like my name suggests and we'll have a laugh or cry or whatever and I'll gracefully exit until next time.

When the teasing almost kiss happened in memories 2020 DVD, the fandom damn near combusted. God! So many supposed fans screaming "GET JIMIN AWAY FROM JUNGKOOK"

Now I'm not a fan of Hybe or BH (I'm not over GFriend yet. I loved those girls) But anyways, those people don't like to be challenged. They don't like that the things they like are challenged, and they do love themselves some Jikook. Whether for marketing or whatever, they don't like when their decisions about Jikook are challenged. I've said it before and I'll say it again, BH are never going to stop showing Jikook interactions if they can help it. Read here why I think that.

This moment 👇 made people question editorial decisions, the fans painted Jimin scarlet

So what does BH do, they decide to show this 👇

And as much as I don't trust the company, I trust the people in charge of editorial decisions. I'm not a believer in the theory that they show Jikook moments so much because of the reasoning that they couldn't be together and let all that stuff air.

So they said, "F*CK you haters. You were so afraid of Jimin getting in Jk's personal space? Let's show you something..."

Okay so maybe not...but still 😂😂😂

A few notes to take home and show the haters;

1) Jimin and Jungkook had a drink in the privacy of their home. I doubt they went out in public to drink and started twirling and necking each other for the public to catch an eyeful

2) It was their own private little moment (i'm sure they have hundreds of those) even Jin and Tae found out about it like the rest of us. And that's because Jungkook decided to say how he got the mark. There's just so much more we don't know so i hope people stop making asses of themselves by just attacking Jikook for every little move they make in each other's direction

3) The editors at Hybe want the hate on Jimin to stop. If they didn't care about him, they'd cut out all content they think might be controversial to appease the masses. I like that instead they decided to show us this side of Jikook. The one where Jk doesn't mind Jimin, the side where even in his absence, he's fondly talked about by Jk. I feel like the editor was like "This is how they are. They do even more and we think its okay, why don't you?"

Or they just slapped the footage together and just included the incident. We don't even know the order in which everything was made, between memories and this concert DVD.

The one thing i hope this moments achieves, is for the army to give Jimin a break. Baby's just being who he is and he doesn't deserve what happened after that almost kiss.

We, as a fandom, don't know how lucky we are. Using Jikook moments from the concert DVD and memories as an example, you have no idea how absolutely easy it would be for the company to say screw honesty and just proceed to cut the hell out of any footage we get. Do you have any idea how much trouble they would avoid within the fandom if they just decided to cut out any ship related footage? They don't do that and I hope all those who hated Jikook or just didn't get their closeness can at very least acknowledge that they clearly don't mind being in each other's space.

But that's not gonna happen, just wait until someone says, they made the story up to cover a Taekook hickey or that some girl gave it him and Jimin covered for him.

[jikookhypetrain]

Okay... so that happened

The only thing about this incident that surprises me is that BH allowed it to be seen. And as always, this moment was big enough to dig me out of my cave

But to all those who called me crazy for believing in Jikook, I'm not sharing my straight jacket. Because apparently, my crazy is spot on

😂

🍋🍋🍋

Jikook lemons???? Eeewww but only Jikook i guess. But seriously, there's no way, you're putting an already sucked lemon in your mouth to taste if you're not regular saliva swapping buddies of the dating variety

[jikookhypetrain]

The reason I love and support Jungkook and Jimin is because ultimately, they make each other happy. They look fulfilled and they're there for each other. They support each other and grow together. And to me, that's pure.

But, they have not or may never even come out publicly. And that's okay.

It doesn't mean the depth of their love is any less visible or valid. So ignore the naysayers and just keep thinking about how genuinely happy they make each other. No fan account or editing team or speculating angsty ship faction is going to change the fact that on or off camera, publicly or privately, in our minds or right before our eyes... JIKOOK ARE HAPPY

[jikookhypetrain]

These spot the difference games are on another level

I have not been here since Min Yoongi's birthday. At that time, I had so much going on and I told myself I didn't need to be all over Jikook 24/7. So I decided to leave and wait for something so new...so unexpected... so Jikook but yet so unprecedented. Coz, let's be honest, what have they not done yet? I told one friend online, "If jikook do something I haven't seen them do before, I'll throw a dollar at them" I honestly had no intentions of coming back but then...

JUNGKOOK'S MOM TOLD JIMIN "I LOVE YOU"

That was so cute and they were so happy

[jikookhypetrain]

I am so proud of BTS and Army. It has been a long, sometimes frustrating, ride. Ever since the first time the recording academy showed interest in BTS, we have been silently screaming, "They deserve to win...give them a Grammy now!!!" Like, they did the time; interviews and photo ops and all that stuff. Some of us thought they were being strung along or pacified. But they were patient— we tried to be patient.

BTS were first invited to present an award, then they performed alongside another artist and finally this year, they get to perform their own hit song. I couldn't be more proud. And at the same time grateful to the boys for their perseverance and keeping the hope alive that their time would come. I mean a nomination and a performance? Guys, they did it! They got to the top. 2016 seems so far away...where our first Daesang felt like touching the sky. But that was all a part of the journey. And along that journey, they have built a reputation, they have won over loyal fans, they have established their own name and style and it doesn't matter where they go from here, because these long years have made them solid in the industry. They don't gotta be loud or wild and they will still command that respect. We have seen some of the worst in humanity in the form of racism towards the guys. People can truly be cruel if they set their minds to it. Those days hurt. But every one pushed through.

Sometimes, you can't break down barriers by simply bludgeoning a wall. Sometimes you gotta chip away at the wall over a long period of time to take it down.

Anyway....so proud of you BTS 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So proud of you Army 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Appearances of polite disinterest and feigned civility are among the most pragmatic methods people use to antagonize folks and communities that get their goat. There is a difference between expressing an opposing opinion and attempting to instigate manipulative discourse. If this sounds 'harsh', keep in mind that the pretence of 'innocence' is a key factor in how this works. It isn't a big deal because arguing about things like this on the internet probably isn't going to palpably affect anyone's life. Anon is probably an ok person etc. This isn't meant to attack them personally. But it is interesting to see the mechanics of manipulation at work and to examine the feelings that being 'worked on' in this way arouse in us. 'Befuddlement' and 'being flustered' by the mention of crotches is a good example. This person waltzes in on the pretence of logical rhetoric and then proceeds to hit below the belt figuratively.

Then in a subsequent post, Anon, predictably, frames their manipulation as 'failed communication'. They may even try to do this again.

What happens in these instances (and what we have already seen) is a reassertion of the claim of 'good' or 'innocent' intentions. What they actually did was derail the discussion with talk of crotch touching. (The fact that you didn't take the bait and expound upon crotch touching with diagrams and figures is 👏👏👏👏👏. You are stronger, smarter and mote dignified than many of us lol).

Manipulative arguers are really good at Trojan horse-ing in some totally contextually irrelevant information in an attempt to show you how silly and biased you are being. It is all based on adhering to the cooperative principle.

Inevitably the faux apology of 'o my goodness, allow me to clarify, I was wrongly misunderstood o my what an unfortunate misunderstanding! Neither of us is the 'bad guy' here omg we are all just internet people trying to get along' will, or has, come.

Their goal now is to spark guilt. The goal is to make you second guess your 'negative' assumptions about anon and their intentions. The hope is to exonerate themselves from the idea that they were using manipulative tactics by making YOU feel like the intolerant party. It's like clockwork. It happens all the time.

That whole anon business aside, you, my friend, make a very good point about Trojan horsing personal agendas into other people's posts. I'm not second guessing my decisions to always take what people say for their intent. You're quite right 👏👏👏👏

[jikookhypetrain]

Taekookers suffer from terminal stupidity

[jikookhypetrain]

The fact that that anon, who, on the face of it, argued like a very rational person, had to take time out of their day to formulate ways to categorically deny the 'perceived' specialness between Jimin and Jungkook speaks volumes, doesn't it? The words sound cogent. But the views they express are profoundly subjective. And if anon did not feel somewhat emotionally triggered by what they consider to be an inordinately 'big deal' made about jikook, if they wouldn' have bothered. An unbothered person doesn't feel compelled to try (unsuccessfully) to dismantle the suspicion that they might be a couple. Thank you, anon, for slipping into our space and kindly attempting to disabuse us all of our delusions. It's not like any of US have observational or logical faculties of our own. It isn't as though we ever question our own biases or evaluate our beleifs! Critical thinking? Bias confirmation? Who are they? /s.

Taking the time to answer anon's points with reserves of 'evidence' to the contrary would be time consuming and pointless. Years of culminative events, expressions and statements pointing to the possibility of Jikook having a relationship beyond freindship exist. They do. How you choose to interpret them is up to you. Anon doesn't have to look far to know how their 'goor faith' 'questions' would be answered. But honestly, that isn't what they are looking for. What would be the point of arguing? This isn't science. There is no proving or disproving a hypothesis.

Anon is as entitled to their opinion as anyone else. But the missionary zeal with which they seek to correct ours says a lot about how invested they are in negating the possibility of a hypothetical same sex relationship. It kind of makes you wonder...

I know. It’s especially common for ship blogs. People trying to correct our views under the umbrella of concern or confusion or just intentionally misunderstanding our posts.

[jikookhypetrain]

I had no ill intentions. I said I'm one of those armys because I think I understood your post and I do find them curious, suspicious at times and stuff. But I also wanted to say what's stopping? me I guess from entirely seeing them as something more than bandmates/friends. But I understand if it sounded like just rambling to you.

You can see them however you want. That’s why we have so many opinions and stuff regarding ships. But when someone takes their time to write a post about a specific subject, in my understanding, if said topic does not directly affect or apply to you, then you’re doing a couple misguided things.

You’re unloading stuff that’s been heavy on your mind under a post that may loosely or not at all touch on what’s bothering you

You’re camped out under a tag you’re always on the ready to attack

You’re a naysayer hidden among believers...always waiting to tell people just how wrong you think they are

Or you’ve misunderstood someone’s intentions within their post. In which case, slide into my DMs if you want an honest explanation

This happens a lot with blogs that deal with ships. You think you’re writing for like minded individuals or people with receptive ears and BAM!!! Someone’s messin’ like that.  So Anon my question to you is; did you or did you not come under my VERY Jikook post and start to say how “Bleh...Jungkook touches everyone’s crotch and grinds on them” or some such garb? (Like I don’t already know this🙄) And did I, in my post try to convince you to see them as anything more than bandmates? 

I mean, we could have had an interesting conversation about Jungkook and his love for his hyung’s crotches... IF I had been talking about the relation between Jungkook’s touchiness and Jikook as a couple, for example. You came out of left field attacking my post with all this information about Jungkook and crotches...I...I was left flustered to be honest. But in the end, I was talking about how both shippers, non shippers and ship-suspicious fans consume material packaged under Jikook heavy advertisement. You, my love, were lost.

[jikookhypetrain]

You still on whatever but...

My bias is hottttttt

[jikookhypetrain]

Hi. First off, I’m not peddling my beliefs to you. I don’t know why you need to tell me all your doubts or whatever as I’m not going to try and analyze each of your points to disprove them or anything. I assume you’re referring to this post here, in which case I’d advise you to leave my babble where you found it... if it did not apply to you. The “curious” armys are not you as you’re clearly not it in the way I meant. Which was referring to armys who find Jikook curious, attractive and maybe even suspicious. I even said they may never ship Jikook; as in find them romantic. If this isn’t you, then I think you’re just unloading. In which case I hope you feel better after getting your points off your chest.

The difference in numbers between jikook unit and others is also because Jungkook and Jimin each on their own are both of the most popular members tho.

My point is; BigHit puts them together knowing the above fact
