[ ren — 12 : 02 ] “i’m well aware.”

20: do they read fanfiction about themselves?

[ ren — 08 : 50 ] “i did once, it was one of those reader insert ones. thoroughly amusing. i wanna read one where i get shipped with someone. from what i’ve heard, there’s a few of me and baekhan, a few of me and sangwoo, me and jaeyi, man i’ll have to download wattpad.”

[ clover — 08 : 51 ] “yes because i’m self absorbed. no that’s not all of it, i was just curious! read a few reader insert ones, stumbled upon one shipping me and jaeyi, and then i stopped. i stopped because that one had me bottoming. jaeyi? topping me? ew.”

23: how would you describe their voice?

[ ava — 08 : 53 ] HI i’m popping in here to say i haven’t really thought super in depth about what botanica’s voices sound like ?? i do know for a fact that daniel has a super heavy boston accent that’s a lot more noticeable when he’s speaking english !! he also had a bit of a speech impediment when he was little and . he went to speech therapy for a bit . it got better . but it still affects the way he pronounces some works yk ? as for like . singing and rapping they’re both rappers and . i’m a gg stan . i’m not well versed in bg rappers . i don’t have much to compare them to . i’ve always imagined clover having a slightly more nasally tone though ? daniel definitely has the lower voice out of the two , he probably has the lowest register in the whole group idk . why is this so long ew i’m gonna stop talking

4: hardest thing about training?

[ tian — 23 : 07 ] “the language barrier for sure. i wasn’t fluent in korean whatsoever when i came over, but i got a lot of help with it.”

[ eli — 23 : 08 ] “learning to dance. i was a lanky ass kid, i couldn’t dance for shit. i’m still not the best dancer but hey, at least i’m more coordinated and don’t look like i have cooked spaghetti noodles for limbs when i dance.”

[ ren — 23 : 09 ] “talking to people? believe it or not, i was a kinda shy kid. i made friends eventually but those first few months were sucky, man.”

5: what was their first thought when they debuted?

[ tian — 23 : 11 ] “i was just so excited. i just remember being like ‘woah... i did that. i did that!’ and i did do that!”

[ eli — 23 : 12 ] “i literally don’t remember because i was so stressed. it was probably positive. i was probably happy, but all i remember is that two week long tension headache. it was great.”

[ ren — 23 : 13 ] “i dunno, something like, ‘bro. on god?’ something like that.”

6: do they have more fanboys, fangirls, or a mix of both?

[ tian — 23 : 14 ] “i actually have no clue. from what i’ve heard the majority of our fans so far are female so... just by majority.”

[ eli — 23 : 15 ] “i like to think it’s pretty even, i’ll steal your girl AND your guy. consensually.”

[ ren — 23 : 16 ] “fangirls. i am a chick magnet. but don’t tell anyone else i said that, they’ll call me an incel.”

☮ — friendship headcanon

i haven’t rlly talked about this friendship a lot !!! but he’s good friends w yoorim !!!

it was recently !! but their friendship didn’t rlly start . as a friendship . that doesn’t make sense . okay

no their first like official meeting they ended hooking up

areum clowns yoorim for it

oh it didn’t turn into anything serious it was just a thing for like a couple weeks at most and they’ve remained friends since then !!! it’s not awkward or anything

ren likes to think it coukd be worked out . apparently libras and scorpios can make a decent pair

according to him

they hang out a lot more regularly now !!! all the americans under smk kinda formed this lil group and since she’s in a group w areum . the most american american . and she’s like bestie besties w lai so she gets caught up in the middle of it a lot

they’re a fun pair tho !!! they’re those friends that r like . constantly making fun of each other but not in that weird flirty way like genuinely just roasting each other

i love them and can’t wait to develop their friendship more bye

♦ — quirks / hobbies headcanon

the word quirk reminds me of mha even tho i’ve never watched it but sorry to disappoint he doesn’t have super powers

he’s a super huge astrology nerd . he has his entire natal chart memorized it’s kind of ridiculous

but he gives his friends advice based on their signs so maybe it’s useful depends if u believe in that sort of thing or not idk

he’s also literally the human embodiment of a golden retriever sometimes and it’s the cutest thing ever i love him

he actually doesn’t have a whole lot of hobbies ?? i mean songwriting is his main one but that’s not really a hobby anymore it’s kinda like . his job

he likes to style hair !!! his mom owned a hair salon when he lived in boston and he actually learned like . a lot . he’s not a professional by any means but he likes to do people’s hair :(

he does his own hair too . way too much . oh his hair is so dead but he won’t admit it

🛍 what’s your favourite feature about yourself ? it can be physical or personality wise , anything you like about yourself !

[ bee — 15 : 39 ] “i like how easily i’m able to express myself! i also take pride in having the healthiest hair in the group. my scalp is indestructible.”

[ ren — 15 : 41 ] “my ass. elliot will say i have the flattest ass in the group but don’t listen to him. he’s just jealous.”

🍧 would you rather only eat sweet , salty , sour , or spicy food for the rest of your life ?

[ bee — 15 : 44 ] “that’s a harder decision than you’d think it’d be, wow. i’d probably pick sweet, because most of my favourite foods are sweet!”

[ ren — 15 : 46 ] “making me choose something like this is cruel. i’ll just say salty, because pizza is salty. and that’s it.”

💞 how do you , personally , identify sexual orientation wise ? or do you prefer not to use labels ?

[ bee — 15 : 49 ] “it’s taken me a while to come to terms with that sort of thing? i’m not straight, that’s for sure, right now i’m pretty comfortable with pansexual? not too fond of labels like that, honestly, but that’s what i’m going with for now.”

[ ren — 15 : 52 ] “i’ve only ever dated girls. soooo i’m pretty sure i’m straight.”

[ clover + ren — 20 : 22 ] “alright, we gotta do this one,” sangwoo said, clapping his hands together, “i, personally, LOVE sns, maybe i’m a little biased, but i don’t care.”

“i’m not really one to listen to too many cute girl groups...” daniel started.

“bullshit,” sangwoo deadpanned, “‘i don’t listen to cute girl groups’ coming from a fromis fanboy? bitch, you were squealing all day when you found out they were coming back.”

“it’s been nearly a year and a half!” daniel exclaimed, “they did it for me, my little society, daniel’s little society.”

sangwoo snorted, “anyways, we’re talking about sns. you know them, i know you do.”

“no, yeah i do,” daniel replied, “i’m not a diehard fan, but i’ve heard their like- title tracks, i know the members, i’m a piper simp, i’ll admit that now, but who isn’t?”

“good point,” sangwoo said, “but we can’t talk about them and not bring up mika, like, come on. i’ve known that girlie for so long, i used to love ioi, and then when she guested on produce, we were like this,” he held up his hand with his fingers crossed.

“so who’s your bias?” daniel asked.

“soyee,” sangwoo said confidently, and when daniel looked at him, surprised, he said, “kidding! god, yeah, it’s mika. how can it not be? she was one of my ioi biases, i had like, five. mika! i miss you, hit me up again soon!” he put a hand over his chest.

“mika! tell piper to hit me up!” daniel exclaimed.

“don’t do that!” sangwoo shoved daniel out of frame.

(i’ll do botanica just bc of the fruit basket revamp aight we cool)

[ botanica — 22 : 46 ] “oh, aurora?” jaeyi looked up, “i listen to her music a lot actually! she’s really pretty.”

“simp,” daniel snorted.

“i’m not gonna publicly simp over a taken woman!” jaeyi exclaimed, putting his hand over his chest, “plus, which one of us here is the one who constantly has her music on repeat, hm?”

“woah, got me there,” daniel said, in almost a joking tone, “hot take! why don’t you know deserved song of the year.”

“that’s what i’ve been saying!” jaeyi replied, “go hype her up right now. that’s not a suggestion, it’s an order, she deserves it.”

[ ren — 14 : 32 ] “right back at ya.”
