AUGHHH I WAS ON ANON???? I DIDNT REALISE UHMM...ngl now that u ask me. i think hongjoong is a tiger more than a squirrel and a tiny demon who still has his humanity in him but he's discovering the hater in him. (rubs hand evilly) AND i love to channel him while studying. POOR MAN LOCKS IN SO GOOD ISTG I FEEL ON TOP OF THE WORLD. there's a spectrum of fics on hongjoong on tumblr and ao3 and it's either all flowers and the healthiest relationship with joong or the nastiest angst which will make u rethink ur entire life. i need some mischievous tiny demon hongjoong. like let my man be powerful, tiny and DILLY DALLY FOR ONCE (im so serious)
UHMUHM as hwa says he just has the celebrity sense in him but how to navigate through daily routine is something he's so clumsy with i feel like (I MIGHT SOUND SO FREAKING DELULU OMG U ASKED FOR THIS) he...might let you take all the mundane decisions in the relationship, like, yk dinner reservations, date planning, ordering food.....i Don't know !!!!!! but he screams laidback. LIKE REALLY REALLY. he will put in all his efforts for sure because i feel like he doesnt run for the outcome but rather the experiences. (AM I PROJECTING? AM I ???) since he already has to be a leader for the other members. he was naturally pushed to being a leader and i feel like he'd love to give up a little control. although not all.
idk im just talking about thoughts that are always on surface
another long reply incoming~~
funny how you say he's more tiger than squirrel bc as i recall, he is born in the year of the tiger. but personally, to me, he's a bit of both actually! his stage persona is more tiger (powerful, mesmerising, dangerous, demands to be seen) while hongjoong as a person is 100% squirrel (cute, soft, curious, mischievous, cute, smiley, did i say cute). AND YES I AGREE HE'S A HATER THROUGH AND THROUGH. honestly when he's not on stage or in front of a camera, hongjoong is actually a really calm and soft spoken person. i could listen to him talk for hours bc his speaking voice is so soothing and he's always using such a gentle tone.
let's be real anon, hongjoong was made for those genres bc he's a little bit of either tbh. he's such a good case study for angst bc while he's such a lovely person (totally not biased), there are some aspects of his character and lifestyle that just make the perfect backdrop for angst. but yes, we do need more fics where he can dilly dally 😔 give my man a break fr
OOOO OKAY INTERESTING and no, dw you don't sound delulu. i think you're forgetting that this is a fanfic blog, that's like the highest level of delulu. but yes, while i agree he definitely gives off a laidback vibe, i think he's actually quite proactive when it comes to trips! take for example, the matz lake como trip. as i recall, hwa said that hongjoong planned the entire trip and that he was basically passenger princessing the entire day. it's his love language shining through here. but i think, like you said, some of the more mundane things, like ordering food and what movie to watch etc. he'd probably leave it up to you. having someone handle the simpler things takes a lot of his shoulders (imo) but! don't mistake that for him not having an opinion! i think he'd still want a say in what is chosen but he'd take greater consideration for your choices. (wow sorry for rambling like that, now he's gonna think i'm a fan 👎 )
i loved listening to your thoughts!! <3 whether irl or in fanfic, hongjoong is such an interesting person and i feel like there's something new to learn about him every day
