Hello again! I am back for Yunho Bias Diagnosis Crisis discussion hours... Listen, with regard to shipping - if you've avoided it and continue to avoid it, I am very happy for you! Genuinely! It causes me no end of emotional distress! Because while there is a good 50% sickos meme "Yes! YES! Rip all his clothes off and make out with him violently where I can see!" thirsting, there's also the other 50% to worry about... Which is watching a very intelligent man who is VERY good at his job leverage his relationships and feelings in the pursuit of extremely tailored fanservice. Tailored to his own preferences (control freak that he is), his individual relationships with the members, and the tastes of the hotteoks (SICKOS!) as a collective. Like, you watch him with San - and he's soft and affectionate and he'll give him these soft little touches and invite cuddles and generally just be Two Soft Bois together and it's delightful. And with Wooyoung he'll flirt hard, and stare at him instensely and slightly lecherously until he folds like laundry, and has absolutely no problem with cuddles and kisses and accepts them like his God-given right. He looks at Seonghwa and Yeosang like the most beautiful etherereal beings he's ever been privileged to see, but he'll push Seonghwa harder than Yeosang and their physical interactions have a different kind of tension to them. Yeosang gets the Soft Boi Hours treatment. And Mingi. Listen, I LOVE watching him interact with Mingi because Yunho isn't in control there. He's great at "Yes, and..."-ing Mingi's various bits, but there's always that little frisson of fear there. What is Mingi going to do next? To the extent that My Man Yunho, famous for his perfectionism, control and instinctive grasp of choreography, undeniably fucked up his choreo on THEIR SONG live on stage in front of 15000 people. Sickos Meme. It's also fascinating that he's constantly and consistently the bad guy in their interactions and doesn't seem to mind at all. In fact, he plays into it. He delights in playing hard-to-get, and never quite giving Mingi what he wants out of the fanservice. Fascinating! And he's also really good at wresting back control of the narrative after one of them does something suspicious. I was looking through a twitter thread the other day of all the times Yunho has gone on live after an Incident and said something to defuse the situation and actively made it worse. There were about 18 incidents in that thread alone. That gremlin absolutely does it on purpose. He has a plan. I would lay you actual money that he goes into those lives with planned talking points, finds a relevant comment, and then improvs his way through making the situation worse with the most innocent look on his face as he plays the coquette and demurs and demurs and oh look I want to kick his face off again! Anyway, I hope you avoid the rabid shipping but now that I've laid my thoughts out on the portions of it that are Mr Consummate Idol Doing His Job Really Well I'm not actually sure that you will... And I'll be honest. I'm feeling a little bit Sickos Meme about that too.
.... Are you Yunho? Who..... who are you? Why are you exactly like Yunho? Is this what it takes to be a Hottoek? Because by that token, with the uh, inability to do volume control and just being out of control I'm more Mingi and he should be my ult because this- THIS THISSSSS PERFORMANCE OF YOURS IN THIS ASK IS SO YUNHO BEING GISENG/GEISHA THAT I-
hey. hey psst. hey anon. come offa anon and chat with me directly. i just wanna talk. also are you aware that we write in a very very similar voice in english? why is that? are you me? am I you? why is this happening to me?
You say that you hope I avoid the apparently deep dark hell (of terrible delights?) that is shipping Yunho with someone, but then you lay out a goddamn fucking menu of desserts, all of a different flavor.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THIS: he'll push Seonghwa harder than Yeosang and their physical interactions have a different kind of tension
YOU DARE MENTION THE twitter thread of all the times Yunho has gone on live after an Incident and said something to defuse the situation and actively made it worse AND DON'T SEND ME A LINK???
Oh - oh and OHHH the most Yunho moment of all: And I'll be honest. I'm feeling a little bit Sickos Meme about that too.
