you know jungkook hangs around the free taste section
this was perfect timing bc i was once again working on something no one asked for ❤️ may i present: bts at costco 😀
seokjin: is the first one to shout "do you really need a 20-pack of highlighters" but squawks when you tell him to put back the 80-pack of white men's cotton t-shirts. gets 6 bottles of $9 wine, and also a pair of shearling-lined crocs.
yoongi: came with A List, and he has a Method down cold for getting through the store and out as fast as possible. spends most of his time lecturing on Things That Are Not Actually Good Deals, with the math to back it up. schedules your run for outside of peak ahjumma hours. gets the jumbo multivitamin pack, for you AND him.
hoseok: peruses the skincare and home goods aisles with a fine toothed comb, and then gets stressed when he can't find you because you got bored and wandered away. the halloween yard display aisle gives him the heebie jeebies. not-so-secretly thinks the clothing section is an insult to fashion 👀
namjoon: forgot to renew his membership, and also doesn't have a car, but it's ok because you have both. somehow breaks the display record player. gets stuck in the plant aisle. picks up nothing but a book and a halloween family pack-sized bag of candy. loses the receipt on his way out.
jimin: lets the store tell him what he needs. spends the most time looking at the kids' toys (for himself). picks up everything, says "this would be so cute!" or "i love this," and then winds up buying nothing except like the world's saddest bulk pack of frozen odeng
taehyung: you lost him about two seconds after walking in. he's lying on a sectional in the furniture aisle with a pair of wireless headphones he somehow disconnected from the display, listening to royalty free jazz music and vibing.
jungkook: you also lost him about two seconds after walking in. you don't find him until you're checking out, because he plowed his way through all the sample tables in record time and went straight to the food court for the ₩2000 hot dog combo
OKAY SO idk if we're still doing the hcs but (if you've watched the show) can you do the members as FRIENDS characters? if not friends, then b99 characters? [i hope you've watched these shows]
i have seen friends!! i’ve watched at least a few episodes of b99 but not enough to sort the members, i don’t think? basing this on the characters’ positive traits and not the numerous flaws 😵💫 so:
namjoon — ross, obviously. big brain mf with the capacity for absolute buffoonery. i could absolutely see him having an hour-long struggle with baby powder and leather pants with those thicc thighs. also wouldn’t be surprised if he said the wrong name at his wedding (see: busan during intro rather than bts.)
also, this is jooncore:
seokjin & hobi — monica. big, big heart, tends to show it in rapid-fire, excitable bursts and teasing. v domestic, wants to nest and feed and nurture but still has an edge to him. likely has a secret closet in an otherwise spotless home where they keep their chaos out of the view of others because why face it when you can hide 👏🏻 it 👏🏻
both would do this in lieu of a verbal apology:
yoongi — chandler. humor as a defense mechanism, bigger heart than he’s given due credit for. probably would eat a cheesecake off the floor with you. definitely would spiral for weeks if his interaction with a baddie was simply to discuss chewing gum. absolutely can and will bang your sister (i said what i said.)
i mean:
jimin — rachel. could he rest on the laurels of being hot, rich, and well-dressed? yes, bitch. does he? absolutely 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 he’s out here flipping scripts, growing, and being the heartthrob of a generation in the process. absolutely would inspire a global hair trend, which would be called “the jimin.”
this feels like the kind of point jimin would be inclined to make:
i’m struggling with taehyung & jungkook. both are giving phoebe and joey. final answer:
taehyung — joey. he’s the himbo babe down the hall with a heart of gold and he should be someone’s ass double in a major motion picture. he absolutely would sit in front of that fountain art piece and stare through it as if it’s a rainy window. so pensive.
the taetae language:
jungkook — phoebe. he is doing what he wants, the way he wants, when he wants and he does not give a shit if it’s not the time or place. carefree, excitable, unpredictable. he doesn’t even have a pla—.
Good morning Jade! Not sure if this counts as a HC but if it does, can you do members as ATLA characters? The kitty in Foresight is called Toph so I think that means you’ve watched 😅
OMFG THIS IS EVERYTHING!!!!! i’m about to spend so much time on this. fuck. god bless you, anon.
journey with me under the cut 💃🏻
i was so torn with jungkook and jimin because both give major aang and zuko vibes. both are capable of just about everything, occasionally bratty, and chaotic af. HOWEVER, i’m going with jimin as aang because aang can’t rely on natural talent; it’s the discipline & trying/failing/falling that gets him to the top. zuko relies more on what’s already in him than what he can pick-up externally, so i think jungkook fits that vibe a lil better.
yoongi is toph. may look smol/soft, but can wreck your shit in a minute. just built different, ya know? his brain works in ways you’re not always gonna understand, but if someone’s gonna figure shit out, it’s him. also, the snappy lil remarks? that hard exterior with a gooey inside?? HE IS TOPH. (alternatively, apa, lmao. you know this man just wants to vibe and sleep and eat, but he’ll throw down when the time comes.)
seokjin is the most sokka to ever sokka, lmao. goofy older brother with a heart of gold, projects confidence even if it’s not genuinely felt. may start from behind but will work hard 👏🏻 as 👏🏻 fuck 👏🏻 to be everything you need when you need him.
namjoon is uncle iroh because OF COURSE HE IS. dude has the answers — and even if he doesn’t, it sounds like he does, and that’s enough to inspire you. poetic, has collection of info that may or may not be of any use or interest to anyone else but gives him tremendous joy??? ugh.
hobi is katara. nurturing, but not weak. fluid, adaptable, naturally gifted but disciplined. reliable af and knows exactly what his contribution to the team is, and where he falls in the grand scheme of things. (alternatively, momo, the emotional support bestie that will accompany your dumb ass anywhere.)
taehyung is bumi because what the fuck is this barefoot lunatic up to??? nobody knows!! but he’s still somehow a genius, if you can figure out what he’s talking about.
Seokjin: While You Were Sleeping, an impulsive lie inspired by the longing for a stranger’s handsome face leads to absolute chaos
Jimin: The Holiday, hot people halfway around the world switch lives with each other on a whim and charm the fuck out of everyone they meet
Hoseok: When Harry Met Sally, a hyper- Type A personality and an effortlessly charming personality ruthlessly repress their mutual attraction for years
Namjoon: Princess Bride, creative subversion of classic fantasy tropes, a happy ending, and goddamn if you won’t quote it forever
Taehyung: How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, two beautiful people locked in an escalating war of insane lies realize they’re made for each other
Yoongi: My Best Friend’s Wedding, deconstruction of the rom com, where the most perfect romance is the friendships that sustained us
Jungkook: Miss Congeniality, a hot, stompy, big-booted federal agent employs sparkling eyes and dangerous martial arts to save lives, lift spirits, and find love
