Hi i know this might come across as stupid but I'm genuinely curious what would be Tanaz's reaction when or rather if she ever finds out that it was Kth that was behind the miscarriage fiasco. Would she finally be able to get her freedom or will kth like the manipulative bastard he is turn this around on her and still manage to trap her
hi bb
it's not a stupid question at all!!
for her reaction, i think tanaz would feel equal parts betrayal and also have her hunch confirmed. she always had a hunch, an undying feeling, an inkling - that it's tae behind it all but there's no way to know, especially with the fact that he was too eager to fix the aftermath for her without any questions, without any explanations.
but the moment she knows for sure that the reason that she wakes up in the middle of the night breaking a sweat is the person in deep REM sleep laying beside her, she would feel betrayed because deep down - somewhere inside she did feel a sense of belonging with him. like the type of attachment you grow with a person that you share a personal space with on a daily basis and it would hurt nonetheless to know that the person betrayed you at such a fundamental level.
i would love to think that she escapes but being loyal to the plot line and the characters, i do believe that tae would manage to trap her. i mean, what's your life without your friends, family, access to wealth, comfort? because tae has the power to take away all of that, he has the power to shun her from society and we all know how much South Korea loves a scandal - like it could be the dumbest thing to the rest of the world but they love to make it a big deal and literally ruin lives and destroy futures.
as a result i don't think tanaz's life would be any different if the scandal gets out, especially considering that tae would try to make it so that it's a big deal and affects her deeply - which is a thought that she cannot shrug off despite her overpowering ideas of walking away from this marriage.
I wanted to ask that how would tatemae men react is their wives started to treat their husbands ,how they have been treating them not that I think any off the wives would stoop that low but just to give them taste of their own medicine
For eg
If shiza started to act paranoid calling yoongi a gazillion times if he is late tracking his location not letting him go anywhere without security being totally unreasonable
N in jhs case when jhs starts complaining about jung family Dany would tell him 'uk your family isn't as bad as u portray them to be i my opinion u r being ungrateful '
Rei would start being cling , possessive , overprotective, obsessive ,probably pull some hair and scratch some ladies faces if they try to flirt with pjm
For jjk aiera would just stop talking make the relationship just for sex other than that doesn't give a fuck about jjk
Idk about kth n knj
henlo. oh, they would be totally outraged.
imagine kaiho!jjk being treated as a mere sex toy. just imagine his expression when after they do the 'do', azumi just gets off the bed like nothing happened and after wearing her clothes, she casually walks out not even giving him a second glance while he is laying on the bed, still trying to catch his breath, questioning himself if maybe he went wrong somewhere, maybe he wasn't a good enough lover.
i mean yeah, like at first he wouldn't catch on azumi's intentions so fast because he would think that it was about sex and that he was not able to satisfy her but then he notices other small details. like she does not greet him anymore when he comes back from work, she is cold, she rarely replies to any of his attempts at conversation with more than a monosyllabic response. i feel like he wouldn't be angry at first because this is all new to him, he's never been treated like this. his parents have always loved him and praised him for his intellect at investigative skills and physical prowess (which has allowed him to rise in ranks so fast). he has always been the better son in their eyes. he has never even been criticized before so imagine being given the punishment before even getting to hear the criticism? you get my point?
i feel like the whole time, he would just be the surprised pikachu meme. trying his hardest to get azumi to talk to him, changing the way he talks or carries himself which he thinks might have offended azumi so like he is trying his best cause he is never been put in such a situation. oh what a time to live.
for enouement!kth, imagine if every time our resident dr tae casually mentions how he is better at some certain skill and tanaz just agrees. like she puts on a big smile on her face, like those ear-to-ear creepy smiles and praises him instead of scorning. "no one is better than my husband" "darling i always knew you were the best!" needless to say, he (and we, too) would be shit scared at the expression. and tanaz ever so changes her voice when she sings those praises. it's not like she is just saying them, no no, she is singing praises like a sweet little bird. it's creepy, it makes his skin crawl cause wtf, what is this supposed to mean? at first tae would think it's just a game to maybe get under his skin so he keeps his composure and does not react much to avoid giving her the upper hand but soon he realizes that this isn't a game. this is for real and tanaz never tires to do it to the point that kth stops ever mentioning anything self-praising in nature but tanaz does it instead. every night taehyung comes back home, she turns on like a broken record about how he is such a great surgeon, how there is no one like him in the entire nation. at times, kth is scared that he will wake up one night feeling some weight on him and he will wake up to see tanaz with that creepy ass smile sitting on his chest with a knife to his neck as she slits his throat.
don't ask me why it turned into a horror movie script.
in case of nodus tollens!pjm, he would be the fastest one to react. like he just cannot even take the idea of rei being clingy. he fell in love with her tsundere nature but this clingy person that jumps him every chance she gets? it's like he does not even know her. never in a million years would pjm would have known that rei can have a clingy, obsessive side too. it bothers him to the point where he just has probably a verbal outrage. asking her why she is behaving this way, what's wrong with her? is it something he did? and she just smiles sweetly like those slice of life anime MCs and questions him 'wdym babe?' and that hits pjm. is he wrong? so rei acting like this is okay? but he feels so suffocated, so... closed in a box when he is used to being free as a bird. what crosses the line for him is when he takes rei out to a restaurant for a nice dinner and the entire night rei just glares at the waitress, to top it off she fights with the lady who never even looked at pjm the entire night but rei kept mentioning to her husband that the waitress is trying to get a piece of him and he is all "woman where?!" he had to physically restrain rei and remove her from the restaurant, carrying her fighting figure and stuffing her in the car while she kept proclaiming that the bitch waitress was going to get it someday soon. he is scared. he is scared for his life.
i feel like the best way to get back at adronitis!knj would be aria acting dumb. like one day she is teaching moon basic maths while namjoon is having breakfast before uni and she explains the simple addition wrong. how can anyone go wrong there? but aria does and she does not fix the mistake, instead she moves on to other equation. and knj is stupefied as he just stares at her with a mouthful of cereal. after a while aria turns to him and reminds him that he is going to be late for his morning class. it is like a fever dream for knj and he just heads to uni trying to forget what just happened. when he comes back home after work, he just casually mentions some experiment that he is conducting and aria just looks at him like "what will that achieve?" knj feels weird but hesitantly explains the purpose to her to which again aria goes "i don't think i understand any of that" and it's something that knj himself has taught to aria in one of his classes during her masters. he just stops whatever he was doing and just goes blank when his head snaps towards his wife when she mentions to moon while they were playing that moon is going to become an arts major. NO KID OF NAMJOON IS GOING TO BE AN ARTS MAJOR. he is literally in the biggest dilemma of his life and is unable to even function normally in day-to-day life. knj-not-functioning.exe
man, psychomacy!jhs would be frothing at the corners of his mouth at hearing "your family is fine, it's you who needs to be more grateful" from dany one random night when jhs comes back tired from work and mentions how much responsibility his parents are constantly dumping on him. he stays quiet but dany goes on, "i mean they literally made you who you are. you would have nothing without their money, support, family business to take over." the phrase "nothing" spins around his mind like a windows xp screensaver. he opens his mouth to say something but momentarily closes it again, unable to even form sentences. but our dany goes on "i am so glad hyuk has them for his grandparents, they knew we were incompetent parent and always helped us raise him into the young little man that he is. i cannot wait for hyuk to follow in his grandfather's and his father's footsteps to take over the throne of jung corporation." i feel like jhs would just quit lol and try and open his own business and then dany would taunt him with the fact that he is nothing without seokjin's generous investment in this new business venture. i mean jhs' blood is just boiling at being questioned at every step. he doesn't know what to do? what can he do to become enough for his wife and son? enough by himself and not as a jung?
10/10 liberosis!myg will end up breaking his phones almost every other day that shiza bothers him with her incessant calls and texts. he is so swamped by her spams that he never gets to chance to ask how she is doing, if she is safe. it's all: has he eaten? is he safe? the next client meeting that he is going, has the place been vetted by an expert? what if some ex-gang member holding a grudge against him tries off him? what if they hijack his car and kidnap him for ransom? what if they torture him for putting them behind the bars? what will shiza do then? every question is suffixed with a narcissistic concern; what will shiza do if any of that were to happen? what will happen to shiza? how will she navigate this lonely life then? and it's all yoongs' fault if he dies cause of his work and leaves shiza alone. it's all his fault and the victim is 100% shiza and not him. it's all about how she will survive in this cruel world.
Jin and his wife have a big age gap and power imbalance. He is a powerful ceo but his wife is a housewife who got married at 18. Do you think that their kids will prefer their father especially when they’re still in like elementary school? Kids like to brag about their parents so i feel like in this case they will brag about their father. Would that make their mother insecure? How will she feel about it?
Also what about the other couple kids?
oh, definitely. i think it goes without saying. i have talked about tatemae kids here previously :D
for aphotic, it is very likely that (any) children they will have, will grow up despising their mother because she seems so small and weak in front of their father. their father is like this amazing cool dad who can make anyone's career toast with just one phone call while there's their mom who never even went to college, ya'know? at least, till they are well in their late teens and their prefrontal cortex grows a bit and they grow balls enough to understand that their mom is a victim and she has only ever done anything and neveything in her power for their happiness.
but i still see the aphotic kids leaning more towards their dad than their mom, what do you guys think?
Has some pictures with jk but he’s always glaring at the camera
Rei : most active on ig
Light academia aesthetics
Most of her posts are pictures from date with PJM
Matching outfits / couple pictures
Jimin is present on 99% of the pictures and he probably spam her account with comments
Tanaz : public personality
Her account is more organised than out life
Posts about the books that she’s reading
Has a few pictures with KTH mostly from her wedding and public appearances
Aria : the instagram mom
All of her pictures are of moon and their dog ( i don’t know if they have one but they need it)
Share some domestic pic of dad joon
Has a pet collection that she shares pictures of frequently
Dany : cooking blog
Her ig is an unofficial cooking blog
Shares her recent dishes
Post recipes
Sometimes post some cute pictures of her baby and jhs
Shiza : ghost
Has zero posts
Lives on ig : she’s the first one to like the other girls post
Inaya : not enough information
The men :
Tbh i don’t see any of the men having igs except jimin and i think his ig would be about his business
your analysis is very accurate!
kaiho:
azumi: has a private account documenting mostly her college life and then one row of wedding day pictures and then maybe barely another row of blurry pictures where it can be seen clearly that jk is glaring at the camera lol.
jjk: he has an account but it’s one of those ghost accounts with zero posts, blank display picture. he hates having his picture taken and he doesn’t use his ig much either. he has it cause on their first date azumi gave him her insta handle and mans had to get there to talk to her lol. other than azumi, he also follows IU but that’s about it.
enouement:
tanaz: she used to be the ‘ig doctor’ person, making awareness videos mostly related to diseases and illnesses prevalent among women. then after the whole scandal and losing her license she stopped posting but azumi has been trying to convince her to post again.
kth: used to have fanpages run by juniors from college when he was still doing his residency. mans was famous for that model like face. he once got an account to check the fanpages but after a while he forgot the password lol. his notifications have only piled up ever since.
nodus tollens:
rei: she posts at least four times a week, mostly in her uniform because she loves black and she loves academia aesthetic, like you mentioned. after jimin came along, it’s all couple pictures, those tooth-rottingly cute ulzzang couple photos? that’s nodus tollens couple for you.
pjm: he has two accounts, one for his studio and the other personal. on the studio one, he is very much active and posts dance covers of his students,,, like 1million dance studio. on his personal, he posts sometimes, like to archive memories. mostly he watches reels of choreographies, follows all the dance related tags. has notifications on for rei (through both his accounts) and is always the first like and first comment.
adronitis:
aria: uh, the instagram mom. she is also someone who posts informational videos, explaining physics phenomenons. this one time she was explaining something and moon appeared and ever since, she has only gotten more views cause she is the young mom who also went to STEM,,, so like yeah,,, people love her.
knj: is not fully on board with the idea of his daughter’s face being publicly displayed on social media platforms but doesn’t complain. he doesn’t have an ig or facebook. if you wanna reach out to him, mail him during office hours lol.
psychomachy:
dany: this is a no-brainer,,, of course she has a cooking vlog! full of those aesthetic recipe posts.
jhs: ig? mans prolly holds his phone like boomers lol. he knows his wife posts and is supportive but he is far from understanding the dynamics of the app. however, he has a staff-run ig page about the hotel and all their other business.
liberosis
shiza: i disagree for shiza,,, she has a fan-account. posts about her latest obsessions, be it anime, k-pop, k-drama, movies, series. reposts thirst trap reels on her stories. has friends from all the fandoms she is part of and they dm each other memes lol. she follows all the girls and is the “omg queen yaas” “mommy marry me” commenter on their posts lol. (pjm and shiza often have a friendly fight in the comments lol)
myg: doesn’t have one, rei tried to get him interested once but then he got too busy in work and never really thought much about it. has a twitter tho
aphotic:
inaya: ambiguous posts; random square filtered pictures of nature - flowers, weather, trees, scenery, all dating back from before she got married.
ksj: he actually has an ig, he is the government ambassador for some brands and also promotes entertainment and tourism so although some posts he does by himself, most are done by his PR team. it is strictly business, only promotional posts.
Hi! I dont think this has been asked before about the Tatemae men, at least I couldn’t find one on it lol. But how the boys react to losing their jobs? Something like, someone better fit their position, tearing down the building to make something else so workers got let go etc. ??
henlo and yes, it hasn't! thank you so much for going through the masterlists first, that means a lot <3
kaiho!jjk: he would become the rogue cop. he just refuses to give up his position because ever since middle school, he has grown into the cop persona, and he won't give it up without a fight. he would also not surrender his gun. would relocate azumi and himself to a secret location somewhere so the cops cannot get to him. would start dealing with shady people and doing essentially illegal things to get back at the government for not seeing his value and patriotism. the only upside i can think of is that azumi and him would be able to spend more time together as he is mostly spying on people through his computer in the basement. but the question is, would azumi accept this lawless person as her partner?
enouement!kth: omg, such a huge blow to his narcissism. he would fall off such a tall ass pedestal of his own doing that it would take quite a while to heal from such a deep wound. i cannot imagine how sarcastic tanaz would get. she just wouldn’t stop sneering at him every waking moment, letting him taste his own medicine and kth also has nothing to say for himself other than just nursing his wounds quietly.
nodus tollens!pjm: he wouldn’t accept it, he just wouldn’t accept the fact that he has been sacked as the lead choreographer and would still show up to work every day. rei would often drive to the police station to bail her husband out for causing nuisance in a public place.
adronitis!knj: he’s the calm one. would consult yoongo and challenge his let off, even if he has to go till the supreme court. aria also would support him because as shitty as her husband was to her, he is a respectable scientist who has always kept the need of scientific advancements over himself.
psychomachy!jhs: mm, the only way jhs would be replace is when hyuk is of age and takes over the company. i can imagine jhs being too controlling, like he would always go about “this is the right way to this and this” and would try to rule over his son but dany would control the situation, like she always does and make jhs see the truth that he doesn’t have to work so hard anymore.
liberosis!myg: he is the calm one, yes but in this case he would get so angry that in the heat of the moment he would take help from his underworld friends to get back at the person who replaced him as partner in the law firm. on the other hand, shiza is scared of him. this is a new side of him and she hates it and threatens to leave him. after almost a death, he regains his composure in fear that he might lose his wife and swears to drag the person through mud for the rest of their lives. every one should get ready for a legal fight, sorry, multiple legal fights because yoongo is going to make a lot of claims.
What did the tatemae couple save their spouses name in their phn as
henlo, my luv
mm, for once it can cross the mind that the names are saved according to the terms of endearment,,, however, we know the men better
kaiho!jjk: he used to have azumi's number as "baby" but then one of his juniors saw while you called and he was embarrassed lol so he just has it as "wifey"
enouement!kth: his contacts are p technical so tanaz is just "kim tanaz" (earlier it used to dr kim tanaz)
nodus tollens!pjm: my mans out here don't give a shit, he always has rei's name saved as "doll" ALL CAPS.
adronitis!knj: like kth, the names in his phone are also just straight to the point but come on, aria owns his heart so it's "kim aria ❤️"
psychomachy!jhs: lmao this boomer has it saved as "chef dany" which he never changed ahaha
liberosis!myg: "shiza" however, all her calls, messages and any other notifications 🔔 are on 'high priority' settings.
In one of your previous ask an anon had asked you that how would kth react to tanaz swooning over someone else like k drama actor or an idol and you had said that he would probably try to change his style to match them so I wanted to ask how will the other tatemae men react to their wife's doing the same
henlo bb
i like this question ehehehe!
kaiho!jjk:
he would be indifferent for the most part but maybe sneer at the actor every time he shows up on the screen. and he hates to admit it, but he might try to pick up on some of the mannerisms of the character that you are haplessly love in with instead of being in love with him which you should be! and we all know if we are talking k-drama characters then the character must be 1000x times gentler compared to jjk so you would be easily able to pick on these changes and the moment you catch him in the act, he would grow so red and proclaim, “no one can ever know” and walk out. lmao.
nodus tollens!pjm:
he would whineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, whine and wallow all day every day till the day the k-drama would air on television. he would keep claiming that he absolutely hates the character and thinks he is stupid but would also tune in with you to watch the k-drama and do a whole ass commentary with you about the plot xD also kinda sorta finds the actress v cute. he is a simp okay? don’t come at me. every time you catch him making heart eyes at her, he goes “unlike you, a mere mortal who gets swayed easily, i am an angel who only has his eyes on you.”
adronitis!knj:
he thinks it’s childish, not in a bad way but more like “you are cute when you simp for k-drama characters”. once you asked if he ever feels threatened and he chuckled, pulled you on his lap and said, “they are mere boys, i am the man you want and have in your life” (yes, i am being self-indulgent, stfu)
psychomachy!jhs:
same as his bestie knj, jhs also thinks it’s childish in a cute way. for your next birthday, he gets the actor over to the party to surprise you. yeah, he can be super forgetful at times, but he can do nice things too uwu.
liberosis!myg:
in all probability, he doesn’t know about your crush. on the off chance, that he does he thinks it’s okay because like ?? what ?? is ?? he ?? supposed ?? to ?? do ?? about ?? it ?? once he asked what do you like the best about your favourite character (expecting an answer about the actor’s personality or acting skills) but you just said “he hot boy” and he made a disgusted face before walking out.
