Army: I’m having a hard time because I’m so drained by human relations. Whenever I can’t sleep or are plagued by certain thoughts I laugh and find solace by watching oppas. Thank you always.
Tae: I understand. I’m the same way. When I was younger I liked people so much I loved approaching them first but what I realized was people typically viewed me, not as Kim Taehyung, but as V. Because of this, my personality has changed a lot and only my people (the people who see me for who I am/the people that really matter) remain beside me.
FUCKING 1-10 FOR THE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AND HIS WIFE, GABI AND TAE (and also maybe Narlene and Cas if you're up to doing two)
in a game of bed wed behead i’d wed gabi cause he’s the ideal husband. goofy and his checkbook is always balanced
anyway hehe pairs with my actual husbands its like my bday
taegabi/gabitae/gay baby
1. What drew your character to their LI and vice versa?
tae meant gabi as a customer at the host club she works at, after kam suggested her to him so he could work on his social anxiety. it was awkward, but tae really liked him from the start. what really made her go “i hope he becomes a regular” was how carefree and fun he was. gabi’s open to new things and seeing life in a more positive, judgement-free way, and all tae has known up to the point they met was seeing things like she was on the outside looking in. gabi made her want to be free.
i honestly headcanon one thing had to be how easy she is to talk to, but the sheer fact she’s just as sheltered, if not more, about some things like him. there’s a common ground gabi could find, and he wanted to get to know her. she was so... face value and sweet, and he felt she had more to offer than just the persona she played at work. he wanted to know her and that’s a big thing that pushed him visiting more often
2. What was the first moment that they knew they were in love with their LI?
oh god. tae’s moment was a long time coming but it finally hit her during a stream he was holding while she was still kept locked up by her fiancee. it’s one of those things she had been holding onto, but didn’t realize until the worst moment, in which she felt she wouldn’t ever get to pursue that safely
gabi himself it’s one of those things that probably hit him s u p e r bad before tae’s fiancee had left the country for ‘work’ for two months. but it really started forming into even deeper feelings once she started staying over at his place
3. When they are having a fight, what is it about and how do they deal with it?
one fight we’ve thought of is tae being kinda pushy trying to ask about something private that happened to him. she noticed for a while that he’d been hinting at it, but once she realized what happened to her with her fiancee, it’s when she finally asked. gabi was rly uncomfortable and snapped at her, telling her what happened, and shut himself off from her for a bit to calm down. tae understood his issue, apologizing before he took her to work, but she doesn’t bring it up until he comes to get her back and she’s genuinely surprised he still came to pick her up. gabi’s a good bean and he’s like “look even if we’re fighting i wouldn’t do that to you like luca did” and she sorta just cracks and apologizes again, telling him she should have been more mindful and left it up to him. gabi accepts it, telling her he just needs to be better with his panic response, but they get back to being cuddly and sweet and all.
fights are pretty easily solved - especially with how tae’s bpd can be. they both experienced abuse and tae’s own issue is still extremely fresh, so they’re very cooperative with each other, and tae is normally very good about knowing when she’s wrong, even
4. Their favorite physical feature on each other?
tae. loves. his hair. she takes care of it a lot when they live together and tries to give him nice methods to avoid damaging it when he’s panicking. she also loves his lil teethies. and his eyes. omg she loves his eyes
gabi is gay as FUCK he honestly loves everything abt her like that’s not even exaggerating i feel like he’d be like “i love her eyebrows ;w;” but he does like how soft she is! and her dimples. and her lil birthmarks hehe
5. How do they comfort each other when they are sad?
tae is very soft in her comfort. she holds his hands or speaks softly to him, brings him stuffies or just lets him rest on her. she isn’t amazing at comforting others, being more afraid or at a loss, but it comes pretty easily where she’ll take him into her lap and talk to him softly about w/e is going on if he needs a distraction
gabi is a cuddly baby... he’s good at stopping tae when she’s in hysterics especially, and normally is the type to pull her against him and just talk it out. he knows when she either needs a distraction or to talk it out, and he’s great at listening. he’s a goofy lil dude so he will just try to make jokes or something to cheer her up. lots of kisses, lots of face holding and stuff. he’s really good at pulling her out of her worst splits
6. Who is the big spoon?
gabi. def. tae likes being held. it makes her feel safe
7. Favorite date activity?
JUST GO TO ANY RESTAURANT. that or something fun like chuck e cheese lmfao they can pretty much turn anything into a date, but tae loves when they go to try new foods together
8. What are their most prominent memories of each other?
honestly? it’s hard to think for gabi cause he’s lame as hell and probably has a lot so i’m not sure nnvcnvc but tae uh
for tae it’s probably when he really first comforted her. she probably wasn’t having a great day from something to do with luca, and he noticed she was down. so he ordered some ice cream while he was seeing her and showed her some of his streams and talked about stuff that made him happy, leading it into asking her what sorta things she liked. he got her to talk about record collecting and it really cheered her up, after a really shitty time with her fiancee. i’d say it’s one of those things she would look back at like “wow this person actually cares for me more than my own fiancee”
9. How open are they with their feelings?
they both have problems opening up about things, but they try to make compromises, meeting each other half way. especially once tae realizes she has bpd. it’s a big thing between them anyway, since communication with luca was. very bad.
10. Do they have pet names for each other?
tae calls gabi jagiya! it’s just the catch all pet name for like honey, sweetie, darling. gabi calls tae an amalgam of names like taetae or butterfree lmfao

casilene
1. What drew your character to their LI and vice versa?
hhhhhahahahah this is gonna be so much less pure im dying. these two are so fuckin funny. uh
honestly for narlene she was really, REALLY drawn to the fact cas wasn’t actively kissing her ass. she’s the captain of the queen’s guard - a LOT of the men she oversees are gonna be handing flowers to her and flirting and stuff. narlene doesn’t want love easily like that. it feels unearned, it feels fake. she honestly wanted to beat casimir’s pretty face in but she really starts to like how real his compliments feel, and how natural conversation becomes with him. she feels more like an equal when she works better on her underlying issues, and his confidence/drive to help her improve is super attractive
for casimir................................nothin- JK NO NVXNVCLKVXCN HE LOVES HER I JUST LOVE TO CLOWN ON NARLENE. honestly i feel it’s how driven she can be. once she’s dragged out of the mud, she really fuckin goes for it. he also likes her confidence when it starts to form. i feel he really falls for it when they’re training and all the kinks have been smoothed out, and they find they have a wonderful synergy together
2. What was the first moment that they knew they were in love with their LI?
narlene’s is weird. she constantly fights herself on whether or not she’s into him, but sorta realizes around the end of their training. she absolutely is too flustered to think about it and it’s so obvious. but she’s kind of been into him for the LONGEST, but didn’t want to be aware of it until that point
it doesn’t occur to casimir until after he’s back in his own country, tending to his work. he gets all grumpy n quiet and doesn’t talk about it until his friends bring it to light. so he’s given the chance to go back for ‘work’, but we all know it’s to also see her. it’s a lot less chaotic for him lmfao
3. When they are having a fight, what is it about and how do they deal with it?
hoo boy, probably something to do with narlene not being good at handling her issues. something like that. or her recklessness? casimir constantly wants her to do better but when she doesn’t, it really makes those two butt heads. narlene tries, but when she’s in a mood, she’s a stupid little SHIT.
but they’re good at separating and taking a moment to think about it, and they both know when they’re wrong. so they normally just meet back up and admit their faults in the situation and it’s pretty calmly settled. narlene wants to do better with her temper, and casimir knows when he’s being too much
4. Their favorite physical feature on each other?
narlene uh... hmmmm. i feel she was big on his personality before anything physical came into mind, but the first is probably how TALL he is. like he’s gorgeous as fuck but she feels a security she doesn’t normally get from other people w/ how fuckin tall this mf is. also she thinks his eyes are super pretty
casimir likes her abs. actually all her muscles but he likes the abs. titties too going by how he was pretty aware of them early on? im dying
5. How do they comfort each other when they are sad?
narlene as a comforter is......... well. weird. she’s observant as hell if he’s showing something like that, and if he is, then damn something is wrong. she normally just gets a lot more gentle, doesn’t pry unless if he talks about it. but she tries to help if he’s working, lifting his stresses if she can. makin’ tea or offering to clean up. depending on the mood, she might sit him down and get his ass to take a break and just talks to him about w/e. she wants him to be okay and if given the chance, she’ll help
cas shushes her if she’s openly sad and holds her face. very very soft words. he grounds her easily especially if she’s having issues with her ptsd. he holds onto her tight and he’s great at encouraging her with his words. especially when it comes to family affairs or just, anything to do with her brain being stupid as hell
6. Who is the big spoon?
casimir. narlene can’t imagine being the big spoon. although they kinda just end up tangled in each other anyway the next morning lmfao they probably move around a lot in their sleep
7. Favorite date activity?
narlene is simple, she doesn’t really have big ideals for a date, but cas is the type to take her on very pretty, nice outings. normally something relaxing, but food is probably always a promise. you can please narlene easily w/ food. she just likes to be around him, she’s the type of person who can find intimacy in just being in the same room as her partner, even if it’s in silence
8. What are their most prominent memories of each other?
unsure with casimir but my heart says he’d say something smart ass as FUCK and im gonna scream mmmcvxvcx
for narlene i feel it’s def the first moment he... opened up? to her? in which she got a little tipsy and started talking about her inferiority complex, and how she felt about the people that died to keep her alive. he really opened up, explaining how to handle that baggage, and what his ideal was for working with her. it’s a big thing to her that shows how intent he was to help, even if he was just doing it to shut up the princesses. but it meant a lot to her that someone was out there, wanting her to get better rather than stay the same and return to the same old routine
9. How open are they with their feelings?
PFFF NARLENE IS A ROCK. YOU HAVE TO FIGHT HER TO GET FEELINGS OUT. she’s probably the type that lets shit out when she’s actually sparring with him - if cas needs to get to the bottom of it, he can do that. cas himself is pretty up front, but if it’s something he feels he shouldn’t disclose, narlene is more likely to pick up on it and just bring it up without flinching.
10. Do they have pet names for each other?
casimir calls her little mouse. he did it to tease her and motivate her more when they were training, even promising he’d stop if she got a good hit in on him, but didn’t cause it’s obvious narlene... began to rly like it. it flusters the hell out of her
narlene doesn’t have anything for him really, but i feel she will pick up on somethin? for now he’s just her smug ass boyfriend
02. Best friend: ay for sure, she absolutely adores her
03. Sexuality: bisexual ... surprisingly-
04. Favorite color: blue, yellow
05. Relationship status: dating gabi
06. Ideal mate: she needs lots of space and respect in a relationship. after being held borderline captive for so long, all she really needs is someone who wont tie her down the way he did.
07. Turn-ons: long hair... she also likes people who take the initiative, but not like, forceful?
08. Favorite food: rly loves savory foods, probably a barbecue person
09. Crushes: gabi lmfao
10. Favorite music: loves jazz, she also listens to stuff like lana del rey or nujabes. she likes the slow music mostly
11. Biggest fear: being tied down again. her ex coming back to take her away.
12. Biggest fantasy: being left to live her life the way she wants to, given lots of freedom and air for herself
13. Bad habits: she lies a lot. mostly to protect others, since it was kind of a requirement with her ex. she also hides her issues a lot, refusing to talk if anyone asks what’s wrong
14. Biggest regret: never appreciating her old life, letting her ex take over her the way he did...
15. Best kept secrets: before things get thick and the law gets involved, anything to do with her ex.
16. Last thought: //
17. Worst romantic experience: eeeeverything about her ex
18. Biggest insecurity: she isn’t too confident in her ability to live without relying on someone at first
19. Weapon of choice: i always picture her with a baseball bat??
20. Role Model: maybe ay... maybe. despite her own insecurities, ay is fiery and doesnt let people fuck with her. she wishes she could confidently be that way when they first meet.
okay look i was over it but anyways like there are .... a lot of things wrong with a lot of ways that all the members get treated but there is something so so so so so fundamentally wrong with the way people treat them on certain issues like saying “something’s wrong with taehyung” bc he’s “mentally challenged” or “slow” because of the way he speaks/acts? yelling in yoongi’s face and getting physical with him and calling him a “mental patient”? literally talking about fucking throwing molotov cocktails on taehyung and shooting jimin and hoseok? the fucking hybrid tweets? like......none of that shit is ever okay
