The mistreatment of Jin - a BigHit callout post

A lot of people seem to think that BigHit could never do wrong and know what’s best for BTS. They think BigHit and BTS are a “family”. Well it’s time to wake up..! BigHit isn’t any better when compared to big companies like SM or YG for example. They’re just as problematic like K-Pop companies often tend to be. The perfect example of this is how they’ve been treating Jin these past 4 years.

!! - a few of these facts are just borderline emotional abuse..

okay, let’s get started:

- Apparently Bang-PD walked around calling Jin fat???? wtf (this was 2013, before their debut and around the same time Jin went on a diet no one talks about where he only ate chicken breast for A YEAR.)

- And guess what? Bang-PD isn’t the only one who has called Jin fat: even his manager did. Fortunately they fired him because he was mistreating Jungkook.

- Jin majored in acting but in the House of ARMY, he got all the insignificant roles with basically zero dialogue. Yoongi even said Seokjin had texted him, shocked that he didn’t have any dialogue in the script. In the Making of-video he was clearly pissed: when the camera man said they’ll be filming Jin next he said “Oh, wow. Do I get to appear alone?” asdfghjkl. Jin was salty, but tried so hard to be positive. (he even avoided looking straight into the camera while they were interviewing him.. on the inside he was definitely feeling wronged.)

- Let’s be honest. BigHit could easily push him in the OST direction or debut him as an actor if they wanted, but no.

- Jin was once forced to perform even though he had hurt his neck in Kcon Paris. BigHit never made an official report about his condition… (it’s funny how they made a report about namjoon’s toe and suga’s ear but not this.)

- Now let’s talk about his LINES. Remember Blood, Sweat and Tears where he had to share his few lines with Jimin? That was the most unnecessary thing ever. (later in the japanese ver. they made jin’s voice stand out more than jimin’s. lol I guess even BigShit felt a bit guilty??) I’ve seen people trying to defend this by saying that it’s okay because Jin was the ~Main Character~ in the MV. But honestly, where is the logic in that? BTS are a K-pop group! Their voices are the most important thing about them!

- Jin is the only one who didn’t get a single line in any of the year end 2016 special stages (rainism: jungkook, as i told you: jimin, v, jungkook & class idea: namjoon, hoseok, jungkook… suga wasn’t there because of his ear injury.) He was just a backup dancer and nothing else.

- Remember when people were hyping up Spring Day because apparently this was supposed to be the song where Jin would shine… even V said Jin would surprise us all and umm.. well he didn’t.

- BigHit removed Jin from the thumbnail of Not Today MV because ????

- Speaking of Not Today. Let’s talk about this fuck up…

- *coughs* This was his only solo shot and it lasted about 2 seconds. Really. BTS filmed for almost 24 hours in cold weather and you’re telling me this is the only shot of Jin that was “good enough”. I don’t think so, because we saw the Behind the scenes-video and they were filming Jin quite a lot. They just didn’t use the clips.

- They keep telling Jin his voice is suited for ballads, but Butterfly was a ballad and he was once again the vocal who had the least amount of lines. (and some of them were not even lines like repeating “untrue” is.. not really a line)

- … so basically the ballad comment was just some bs excuse, let’s be real no one fits only 1 type of music. Plus here are some Bangtan’s slower/not hiphop songs I think Jin’s voice could easily be fitted in but he still got the least amount of lines: Spring Day Studio Version, Miss Right, YNWA, Just One Day, Outro: Propose, House of Cards, Coffee…

- Now the most recent fuck up is BTS’ cover of Seo Taiji’s song ‘Come Back Home’ and people are still debating whether Jin has ANY lines at all. The MV for the song was uploaded to CJENMMUSIC’s official youtube and their header was changed to a… group photo… of BTS… except Jin was nowhere to be seen. The fact that they forgot Jin is unbelievable and just plain disrespectful. No product should ever be released without approval and double check. None. And while we don’t know if BigHit had anything to do with the header, whose fault it is that even these other companies tend to forget Jin because they aren’t promoting him enough? This was not a simple mistake. It means that design and marketing teams from HUGE companies like CJEN don’t see him.

this is my cheesy cliché-romantic prompt, please write it if you like this kind of stories, lol: Peter has had a crush on Tony since forever. He has confessed his love to Tony three times, and Peter has been rejected each time. The first one was when he was 10, the second one at 15, and the last one at 20. After so long, Peter decides to give up. He starts dating other people, trying to find love, then one day Tony reappears again into his life.

I’m so sorry this took so long! But I really hope it was worth the wait and that you enjoy it. This is in two parts because it ended up being way longer than I initially planned it. No smut in part one, but 90% of what Anon asked for happens in this chapter.

Prompts are always open <3

[P. 2]

Peter meets the love of his life aged ten, lounging in the grass of a local park and devouring the Chemistry book that Aunt May got him for Christmas. A pair of glossy combat boots stop right besides his pink lemonade, a figure casting a dark shadow over his book.

Peter looked up slowly, scowling at the interruption. How was he supposed to study hard and become a world famous scientist if people kept interrupting him? The boots give way to skinny black jeans that clung to legs longer than Peter could ever hope for his to grow. The legs faded into a black t-shirt sporting a cat playing the drums, and then to the prettiest face Peter had ever seen.

“Page 58 is wrong, y’know” the boy commented casually, hands tucked into his jean pockets. Peter’s scowl deepened, and he stared for a moment longer before furiously flicking through the pages. Page 58 turned out to be on metals and their chemical properties. Peter scanned it, before looking up again.

“It’s a professional science book. It can’t be wrong. And even if it was, how would you know?” He asked, reaching for his lemonade and sipping. The boy actually laughed, soft and amused before crouching down, elbows braced on his thighs. One long finger tapped a single paragraph on the page.

“The book claims Tungsten to be the strongest natural metal, and Chromium to be the hardest. Both of those are wrong. The worlds strongest and hardest metal is one in the same: Vibranium”.

Peter frowned a little, reading the paragraph quickly as the boy spoke. Vibranium? That sounded made up. And he’d never heard of it before.

“You’re just making that up” he pouted, pushing away the boy’s hand.  He chuckled again, low and soft and it made Peter’s tummy feel funny. All flippy, like he was on a rollercoaster.

“Am not” the boy shot back, teasing and mocking. Peter pouted harder, drawing his book closer. “Vibranium was discovered in the 1800′s, and is pretty much a secret outside of a select few Government organisations and my family; who have a big clump of it sitting in  secure storage facility out in Antarctica” the boy remarked. It was Peter’s turn to laugh, now.

“You’re a big, fat liar” he dismissed, then frowned. “Wait. I’m not supposed to be talking to strangers. Go away before Aunt May makes me do the laundry again” he huffed, looking back down at his book. He missed the soft smile the boy gave in response, and missed the scent of aftershave as the boy got up and walked away.

One week later, Peter was back at the park, sprawled out on the grass with several packs of snacks and his Chemistry book. He’d brought a notebook this time, jotting down notes and little doodles to help him remember things. There was a science expo next month, and he was determined to be super smart and science to impress the important scientists there.

Something thunked into the grass before him and rolled, all the way through the grass until it bumped into the edge of his Chemistry book. Peter eyed it warily. It was a metal ball, about the size of a ping-pong ball. Bright silver and it looked really shiny, like it had been polished. Peter looked up further, and saw the boy from last week strolling towards him.

He walked all the way up and sat down opposite Peter, long legs crossing in the grass. Peter watched him the entire time, hand still paused mid-sentence. The boy was wearing dark grey jeans today, and a white shirt with an AC/DC logo across the chest. His head tipped, and he watched Peter with a soft, curious expression.

“Half a pound of Vibranium. Super-forged and polished into a perfect sphere, just for you” the boy remarked, pulling a lollipop out of one pocket and peeling off the wrapped. Peter looked down and after a moment he put down his pen, reaching for it. It felt light, for its weight, and the metal was cold, perfectly smooth to the touch.

“This is probably just steel or something” he pointed out, and the boy shrugged, sucking the lolly with a wet sound.

“You can do whatever you want to that, and it won’t break, scratch or dent. The only thing that can damage Vibranium is more Vibranium” the boy tossed back, taking the sphere from Peter’s hand and tossing it up and down like a regular ball. “You could take a chainsaw to this thing and all you’d get is sparks”.

He tossed the ball back to Peter, and they spent the next two hours going through his Chemistry book together. The boy turned out to be called Tony, and he was super smart. He was turning twenty next month. Peter worried a bit about talking to someone that much older, but Tony was sweet and smart and helped him to take notes.

Tony’s phone went off a little while later, and he checked it before pulling a face and looking across at Peter. “Well, I gotta go. But try to scratch that thing. Let me know if you succeed” he grinned, ruffling Peter’s hair and standing. He was already walking away by the time Peter realised he had no way of letting Tony know either way, and he watched helplessly as Tony slipped into a sleek, black car on the sidewalk.

That night Peter attacked the ball with several kitchen knives. He threw it down the stairs. He tried to chew it. He tried everything he could within the house to damage it, but nothing worked. Eventually he gave up, sitting on his bed and staring in wonder at the still perfectly smooth ball before he snuck an egg cup from the kitchen and put it in pride of place on the middle of his shelf.

He went back to the park on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday of the following week, but Tony didn’t show up.

Anonymous asked: Much appreciate your homage posts to the late Sean Connery. Made us proud for all us Scots. Sorry to put you on the spot but in your opinion who was the best James Bond and why? What’s your favourite Bond line?

I feel terribly sad too at Big Tam’s passing. But Sean Connery had - and I hope he forgives me as a half Anglo-Scot for using a very English idiom - a very good innings to go out at 90. He left us with a huge legacy of a surprisingly good body of film works but he also left his mark on how we talk about modern masculinity.

So who was the best James Bond?

It is a question that has been asked time and again, and we can be certain it will get a whole new airing when Daniel Craig’s tenure eventually comes to an end. Answers generally come in three categories. The first are the traditionalists. Sean Connery was Bond, he will always be Bond and anyone else is a poor imitation. The second camp - the majority of whom seem to be Generation X-ers in my millennial experience - who think Bond is about driving a Lotus underwater, wrestling in space with Jaws and – ahem – attempting re-entry with Lois Chiles, and so Roger Moore is their man. Finally, there are those who are not afraid to move with the times, and think the modern day production values mean the films of the Craig era are on a superior level than all that has come before.

These are all reasonable enough views, but they leave out one important consideration: which Bond are we talking about? Because there were only two kinds when we look across the range of actors who portrayed the iconic British spy. There is the cinematic Bond and there is the literary Bond.

Let me explain.

Because there’s nothing like Ancient Greek Philosophy to look at this vexed question of who was the best Bond. So let’s first consider Plato, Forms, and the Allegory of the Cave. Way back when in the long, long ago, Plato, and by extension Socrates, postulated the idea of Forms in which a second, ethereal world contained the eternal, perfect “Forms” from which all physical manifestations derive. To explain this, Plato proposed the concept of prisoners chained in a cave since birth and forced to gaze at a wall in front of them, lit from behind by a raging fire. In front of this fire, and behind the prisoners, puppeteers would hold up puppets that cast shadows. In time, these shadows became reality for the prisoners, for they would have no concept of the physical items themselves. Thus I, very much a modern day Plato, propose that were the puppeteers to hold a tattooed toupee-wearing former coffin polisher in front of the fire, the prisoners would rub their eyes and see… James Bond.

In other words, Sean Connery was the best cinematic James Bond. He is the Bond of cinematic imagination and hence more popularly known in our wider culture.

What Connery offered in his seven-film tenure is a near-perfect balance between all subsequent imperfections and a command of the role that prompted either below par impressions or a significantly different approach so as not to overlap with Connery’s sizeable footprints – footprints too deep enough for the other Bonds that followed to fill. Some people might suggest it was simply because Sean Connery has the luxury of being the first actor to play Bond. However, being the first actor in a role doesn’t always guarantee audiences will consider you the best.

It’s telling that Connery never fancied himself as Ian Fleming’s James Bond. Nothing in his training (largely classical theatre and romantic melodrama)&#128;&#147; let alone his working class Edinburgh background had prepared him for playing a part that Michael Caine remembers everyone thinking would go to the smoothly cultured Rex Harrison.

Nor did Connery help matters when he turned up to audition for the part of Ian Fleming’s gentleman spy wearing a lumber jacket and torn jeans. “You take me as I am or not at all”&#128;&#157; he told the producers Harry Saltzman and Cubby Broccoli, but though they were eventually won over by what Broccoli called “&#128;&#156;the most arrogant son of a gun you’ve ever seen”.

As the creator of Bond, Ian Fleming remained unconvinced. Indeed Connery’s casting was much to the chagrin of Bond creator Ian Fleming, who had envisioned Bond in his own image of an upper-class Eton educated Englishman and an officer and a (rogue) gentleman - Fleming himself was a lieutenant-commander in Naval Intelligence, Connery was also in the navy but as an able seaman on HMS Formidable. Fleming remarked, “I’m looking for Commander Bond and not an overgrown stuntman.” Fleming wanted Cary Grant, David Niven or Roger Moore to play his character. Not until the Bond movies were earning him far more money than his books ever had would he stop referring to Connery as, “that fucking truck driver”&#128;&#157;.

When you have to choose between reading fanfiction, watching anime, reading manga, watching kpop vids on YouTube or playing games

Avengers ships and how they fared in Infinity War

1. Stucky (Steve Rogers / Bucky Barnes): They reunite, smile, fight alongside each other, then Cap has to watch his true love disintegrate before his heartbroken eyes. No open romance (no surprise there, Disney), but at least they got ‘the look’.  5/10

2. Stony (Steve Rogers / Tony Stark): They never meet. They spend most of the film on separate planets. They still aren’t talking, and refer to each other only in brief, melancholy, what-could-have-been moments. Overall, not looking good. 1/10

3. Clintasha (Clint Barton / Natasha Romanoff): Hawkeye isn’t even in the film, and no-one really seems to notice. 0/10

4. Pepperony (Pepper Potts / Tony Stark): Tony proposes to Pepper, so in a way this ship hit the jackpot in Infinity War, and there are even rumours of pregnancy in the next Avengers film. But could Iron Man’s new found love for Doctor Strange throw a spanner in the works? Probably not. 9/10

5. Thorki (Thor / Loki): SPOILER ALERT Loki dies in the first few minutes of the film. Trying to save the life of Thor, which is very romantic, but still. Ship over. Unless….. 5/10*

6. Brutasha (Bruce Banner / Black Widow): Hopes (fears?) that the badly written but potentially interesting relationship between Bruce and Natasha would be developed further were firmly dashed in Infinity War, where they reunited after years apart with nothing more than a knowing look. Still, a look is better than nothing, and they are at least both still alive. 3/10

I know this photo just shows Banner, by the way. That is because I love Banner. Sue me.

7. T’Chakia (T’Challa / Nakia): For NO GOOD REASON, Nakia, possibly the most beautiful woman in the world as well as a complete badass, is not in Infinity War at all. And T’Challa gets dusted. Boo. 0/10

8. Starmora (Peter Quill and Gamora): After a brief threat from Thor is seen off, Peter Quill gets the chance to prove his love for Gamora in Infinity War, and he steps up, although in the end he can neither kill her nor save her. His grief for Gamora leads him to ruin the plan and he is arguably responsible for the deaths of half the people in the universe, including himself. Can you get more romantic than that? 8/10

9. Scarletvision (Vision and Wanda): These two start Infinity War as a proper, loved up couple, but, sadly, end it dead. Wanda’s love for Vision dooms the universe, as she waits too long to destroy the Infinity Stone that is part of him. It’s like Romeo and Juliet, except with the lovers being killed by a giant purple psychopath instead of poison. 8/10

And the new kid on the block:

10. Ironstrange (Tony Stark and Stephen Strange): These two meet, bicker, flirt, and slowly grow to understand each other over the course of Infinity War. They adopt Peter Parker as their sort-of-son. Then Doctor Strange hands over an Infinity Stone to save Tony’s life, and gets dusted himself. Beautiful. 6/10 

*Due to popular demand, and convincing arguments about the romance of their final scene together, Thorki has been upgraded to 5/10.
