The divine will curl its way through your veins.

i don’t really know where to start with this post but i was encouraged by @bulletfrootboyzz … what to talk about?

right. jungkook’s possible real tattoos…

so, when a friend shared this picture with me -

i honestly didn’t think it was jungkook’s hand because, well, i can’t see his face but i did read somewhere, right after seeing it, that it was posted by jungkook’s brother. but still, i was skeptical that it was jungkook because i said one of the tattoos is real, which is the one right by his thumb. i have tattoos so i know what a new tattoo looks like. that marking on the side of his hand by the thumb is raised, meaning, it’s new. also, people who saw jungkook in person during this time said the markings on his hand were stickers… i wasn’t there. i had to believe what the fans said, right? 

then airport pics are posted, bts is going to nz and what do we see? tada!! the tattoos;

by this time, people are really thinking they’re real. but a lot say it’s henna. i mean, i thought they were pretty raised still… looking new. he could’ve had them retouched? so, if they were henna markings, i said, two weeks from the time they left for nz, it should be a lot more faded. or gone. we saw him try to hide his hand by covering it with a glove during the cns challenge and also hobi’s vlive where he stuck his hand down, even keeping it in his pocket the entire time in some instances.

but that fading or tats being gone didn’t really happen because a couple of days ago we got this:

the markings are still there. they’re not as prominent as they did pre-nz trip but they’re there. and they look faded. not as faded as they would look if they were henna. the thing with hand tattoos is that they fade quicker than other tattoos on other part of the body because you use your hands a lot. if these aren’t real tattoos and they’re henna, THEN he had them retouched. but why do it if he’ll hide them most of the time? something i keep bringing up and i’m sure my online friends, mostly sae and sno @seoktoyourjin are probably tired of me bugging them about it… you guys are awesomeeeeee!!

look, i’ve been obsessed with his tattoos since i saw them, whether they’re real or not. but i’m mostly interested in the one tattoo that i keep seeing in other pictures, the one people don’t seem to talk about a lot… this one:

(there is a cap of jungkook in one of the ads they recently did where you could see the thumb tattoo but i can’t find it right now… also, why am i the only person that seems to be talking about it????)

before i go on with the side hand/thumb tat, let me just say that i get why people think the tattoos are not real but regardless of what we say, they’re his and most people, the people i know at least, and personally speaking, we don’t get tattoos just to get them. they always have a meaning. so, however it appears to us, he’s gonna rock ‘em.

so, i’m discussing all this with @bulletfrootboyzz last night and i thought, ‘ya know, if those tats aren’t real then he keeps getting them retouched to hide the real tattoo.’

and what did people find on the net? a supposed image of jungkook revealing a sleeve tat posted by bts trainer, jinwoo:

now, it’s not confirmed it is jungkook but people took look at the sandal and made conclusions. 

was i skeptical? the moment i saw it, i knew it was jungkook and it was real. because of this:

the side tat…

just one thing tho, it’s really uncool that people left the poor trainer nagging messages, asking if it’s jungkook. like, come on guys. just a note tho, jinwoo did take down the pic somehow and cropped the tatted arm. probably so he won’t get questioned. but damn, people, chill.

anyway. sleeve tat spotted during the riyadh concert. some people were not convinced but hey, look how they covered it up:

anyway, a sleeve tat? could take a few hours to finish. outline alone takes time, then there’s filling in. so i see why he’d hang around the tat artists a lot. he could’ve had it done in one sitting but ya know, in my experience, some people do sessions. who knows how he had them done. i can’t wait to see them tho. they look really cool. jungkook’s an artist so it is most likely his original design. now who doesn’t want to see that???

anyway…

this is a mess post. love me anyway.

I had like one, maybe two friends who were all like FUCK YEAH YOU PAINT IT WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT, PURPLE BEDROOMS ARE AWESOME.

But when they actualy saw the finished bedroom, every single one of them was like, “Oh yeah, that’s really pretty.” (Well, the ones who supported me from the beginning were more like WOOHOO.)

Taisho House

Nearly every room has a unique view out over the elaborate gardens. The lower photograph is the interior of the Taisho-era’s ‘modern’ Western-style sitting room. 

I also say “thanks for the update” or “thanks for the head’s up!”

“I really appreciate the head’s up!” also a classic

If I haven’t gotten back to someone in a swift enough period (i.e. one work day max) I say “thank you for your patience. after some consideration, I have decided…”

don’t apologize for piddly things! 

Thank you for waiting for me > sorry for being late

Thank you for helping me/for your time/for listening to me > sorry for bothering you

Thanking someone when they do you a favour > apologizing for your existence

I always started my day in each new school I went to figuring out where I would hide 25 children, where the exits are, what could I do. I did that before the lockdown experience I had.

It followed me the entire remaining eight years of my school career. And yes, it’s true–someone “pranked” the school in my junior year by calling in a bomb threat every week for almost three months, and the school responded by moving us all to the gym. I finally walked up to the principal one day during one of these incidents and said “Mr. S? I don’t want to be a pain. But we’ve had four of these in three weeks and if there really is a bomb by now they’ll know exactly where to put it.” I was envisioning it in the bleachers just under my legs. He looked me right in the eyes, and he must have seen the haunting there that said “this girl knows nothing in specific but way too fucking much in general,” because he immediately picked up the mic we kept for assemblies and said “first two rows, form orderly lines out the doors, toward the soccer field, please” and evacuated us before I even had a chance to get back to my seat. They walked us up to the middle school (which was on the same property–they almost adjoined) through a driving rain, no coats, no nothing, and put us in their cafeteria while the bomb squad came. From that point onward anytime there was a threat they had to fully evacuate both schools, just in case.

It changes the way you think, and not for the better.
