all of us come here and talk about our analysis to try to understand the characters better, read others' theories and have fun, we literally have a fan club it's so cute

Oh, also adding another thought: I really like how JK is learning to appreciate Tae's care. I feel like most people kinda take Tae for granted.

I'm so glad anon went there with the character analysis. I've typed my own out a time or two but deleted bc I usually end up in the bushes turned the wrong way and it's always embarrassing. I'll keep this one short though. I really like how JK and Tae have become a soft place to land for each other. JK is so practical at the way he takes care of Tae - like the blanket in the car, driving, validating his feelings, and even just the head-on way he approached for that kiss in the locker room after the party. And Tae takes care of the sentimental and emotional. Actually, both of them do both, it's just the emphasis with jk is more practical and with Tae is more emotional. Anyway, the story keeps getting better and better.

“He’s such a PHYSICAL person, and less cerebral than, say, Tae or Namjoon.”

Sorry diff anon that keeps intruding on this discussion but yes! Jk is obviously much more physical. It seems like he is the one to always initiate physical contact first (throwing his arm over Tae the first night they shared a bed, grabbing his neck when Tae got in the car, kissing him in the locker room and the bar, going in for a hug after Tae brought him soup). It just speaks to your skill as a writer that these little actions really fit with the character you’re trying to create. I think these little demonstrations of affection come naturally to jk after being in a straight relationship for years. Whereas Tae doesn’t have the same experience with these physical acts of intimacy since he’s still in the closet and not been able to have an open relationship. I love that they are both learning from each other.

omg if Tae says ily during sex and then kisses his cheekbone me and jungkook would probably cry

When Nicotine tk start saying ily to eo ughhhhhh. Moaning shaking crying throwing up. UGHHHH. AND WHAT WHEN THEY DROP ILYS DURING SEX faints dramatically

[[continuing again]] He even tries to almost let it go, have it be a one-time thing, but he’s aware of jungkook’s own desire to feel that way with him again and so it goes on. its not really about dynamics. even jungkook almost goes down that road, but he quickly realises that it isn't about what role he's playing in sex, its about what feels good, what makes him feel good, what works for him at this given time. he mentions liking slow sex with raven, i assume its when things hadn't gone downhill, but him preferring it hard and fast later on could signify that it became less about dragging it out and truly emmersing himself into the moment and more about chasing pleasure while trying to run away from smth else. i could be reaching with this ofc but atp im just yapping (sorry if its annoying lol) so it actually felt like a significant moment when jungkook could choose and he still chose to keep going as they already had been. it sort of felt like this was a moment of familiarity and trust and intimacy, esp the kind that jungkook not only liked but wanted more of. he didnt want to change things up because he truly felt good.

that it i think. it would be so funny if at the end of all this (or even before that) youre like "girl it ain't that deep" 😂😭 but yes as i said just indulging. these are actually really well-crafted characters and so i just wanted to get into this one aspect bc it felt like it meant more seeing how jk is (and also tae as well for that matter, that he would give him that choice, sit on his lap basically offering himself up, esp when i remember you saying him preferring to top also has a background)

[[continuing]] His struggles weigh him down, he has no other means to let go other than football and smoking, and football itself came with the stress of his teammates and the presence of taehyung so he couldn’t really truly unwind with it before. Plus raven and her games, him chasing after something that made him weary but provided a false sense of comfort that he felt like he must chase, that if he felt like he could live without it and find something better, he was wrong and it would come crashing down.

But then sex with taehyung frees him in multiple ways, proves to him that it could feel good, that he its not a given to be put down for the things he indulges himself in, no matter what it is. He experiences a new kind of pleasure, something that truly aligns with his own methods of unwinding, using his body to make himself feel better. only he’s not the only one pushing it to the brink. He can trust his body in taehyung’s hands because he’s shown he could take good care of him. Makes sure he feels good, makes sure he knows he’s feeling good, makes sure he knows exactly how and by whom. Sex with taehyung is a new awakening into his own body and its pleasures, playing it like an instrument and actually enjoying it for himself instead of being limited to catering to someone else. It keeps jungkook in the moment, connected to not only his own body, but also his partners’. Sex with taehyung is not selfish for him, it’s what sex is supposed to be, a mutual connection, a dance of bodies, a friendly game that has no losers and only winners.

Taehyung makes him feel like he can indulge in the things he likes and not be battered for them, unlike how i assume it was with raven, who would probably use things he liked against him when shit got ugly. Of course the way taehyung treats jungkook stems from his own experiences, but initially, taehyung doesn’t really expect much of him. [[contd. again maybe i need to chill]]

Since nicotine is the only thing i can focus on recently and it would be incredibly unfair to expect more of it im just going to indulge & dissect that scene where jk chose to bottom. its a psychoanalytical character study if you will, i have no intentions of being offensive so forgive me if it comes out that way Basically how jungkook, a “straight” guy still figuring out his sexuality, came to like having the kind of sex he was having with taehyung Ofc most of it is credited to th & his treatment of jk especially when they’re being intimate. th pays very careful attention to jks comfort its evident from the very first scene of the fic. Despite being “enemies” before the opening scene, th makes sure to make things as good for jk as he feels for himself. We see it in th's pov but jk becomes aware of it by the end of the scene. It goes beyond attraction for a guy like jk who’d been pining over a single girl all his life hadn’t ever entertained the thought of being attracted to another guy and then actually ending up enjoying himself while being fucked. Half of it was the way th made sure that jk felt it good. Not only his comfort but also his own pleasure, to talk him through it by bantering. I’m not saying th did it entirely intentionally but i think by now its clear that th is just a nice guy. He cares for people, their wellbeing, tries to make them comfortable. But then of course he can also not be nice It could have started off as simply a pleasurable distraction for them both, but sex, no matter what kind, is always intimate. it matters alot how a person is made to feel throughout it, before it, after it. th made sure to keep it on jk's terms alot of the times jk, from what i feel, is someone who desperately needs taking care of. Not that he needs to be babied but he needs to feel like he can be completely himself & not get shamed for it. His struggles weigh him down he has no other means to let go other than football and smoking. [[contd. i hate character/word limits ugh]]
