The IOMT chess pieces theory got me thinking about the GH5 concept trailer and the pairings we saw.

We have Rook vs Rook as Mingi and Yunho square off by quite literally towering over Hongjoong.

Knight vs Knight with San and Jongho, although they seem to be keeping distance between them.

Bishop vs Bishop with Yeosang and Wooyoung. They're even moving diagonal to each other like they would be on a chess board.

And finally...King vs Queen. In a total inverse, where the Queen usually protects the King, Seonghwa is targeting Hongjoong.

Asdfghjkl there’s SO MUCH TO UNPACK HERE

Aside from the Mean Girls of it all (!?!)

“Someone’s married”

“Getting summoned to court”

“He’s in the back”

The lowercase “e” below a portal?? Next to Sopro

Bad, Boy, Ateez, A to Zee

11 (???)

“GOLDEN HOUR NEVER ENDS” (!!!!!!)

And the one that made me scream:

“A ❤️ ? <- Chase her”

Like the ? from the balloon? The third dimension???

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON

That makes me think we've seen it before

Oh.

OH OH!

⟡ synopsis: Life was decided for you in the monotonous society of Strictland. Enrolled in Prestige Academy, everyday was the exact same- until him. You now live as one of the masked vigilantes known as the Black Pirates, fighting against the tyranny of Z and his forces. When an opportunity arises where only you can make a change at the risk of your safety, your captain, Hongjoong, grows wary, his care for you masked but strong. You both must decide what is best: your feelings in a world so devoid of them, or the greater good.

a/n: I wrote this story for a dear friend of mine, and it became a brain child I grew very fond of. This is a slow burn, tragic romance/sci fi thriller as it all takes place in a mostly lore-accurate World Z. I took some creative liberties, but I tried adhering to what we know from the diaries.

I’ve changed my friend’s name to y/n and mine to Vera, so yes- your humble author is on this adventure with you (as a side character).

yeosang

HELLO?? this top feels so south asian (/pos) and i need one actually

i’m obsessed w the second pose because YES give me non traditional modeling i looove expressions and faces being faces !!! i love everything about this im never shutting up actually this is going on my wall and my personality: “haha hi im actually golden hour part 5 concept photo 3 Yeosang version nice to meet you!”

hongjoong

peter panning we are so back actually. the green velvet and the reddish brown hair im sooooo geeked

is the matz concept glasses without lenses bc this is killing me lowkey

overall

GUYS. the colors !!!! the color grading of this set is my second favorite i think, with photo set 2 being the first (i just love bright things).

the earthiness is so fun, the natural greens and browns paired with the glitter is so surprising actually!! i’m wondering how this ties in with the bad mv and lore? i saw a video that mentioned gh series feels like Z/black pirate ateez’s backstory and I’ve been thinking.

(I AM NOT A HISTORIAN please take half of what i say with healthy skepticism, i haven’t fully researched or fleshed these thoughts out, it’s been 10 minutes since i saw these pics 😭. if anything is incorrect please feel free to correct me with sources so i can learn!) please be nice to me thanks

if Zteez (as referred to) was from late Joseon era, it would make so much sense for their fashion to follow around this western style in the late 1800s/early 1900s (or i’m lying out of my ass).

yeosang’s outfit feels detailed similarly to late 1800s upper class South Asian outfits. i say this because of the bright detailing and intricacy, which obviously has carried over to modern styling, but this was the period where Desi fashion had influence from western fashion/colonization. early 1900s upper class men/business men started wearing western suits. a lot of modern jabbha/kurthas/traditional menswear has similar intricate designs and colors, with a vest-over-kurtha style or something that feels resembling western suit pieces
