HELLO!! anon i hope you know what you signed up for when you asked this... so you see, i wrote fools where i thought of taehyun as the little prince. because it made sense? pretty boy full of love who gets suddenly lost in the vast vast space all alone surrounded by strangers who never truly care about his (non)existence. until he meets his fox that becomes a living reminder of what's important... he teaches him to love. yeonjun fits that role oh so perfectly. i was thinking of pre-debut taejun when i wrote that too and it broke me into millions of tiny pieces. when they parted, a part of me passed with them. to think the fox was tamed and left alone is so shattering... not to mention the concept trailer WAS literally about the same thing i was going insane... i also couldn't help but cry when the promise pics came out... especially to think i immediately knew i needed that version when the blurred pcs were posted and there was this rose.... this album is truly for me...

promise... what i think about yeonjun as the little prince... it literally brought me back to section 5... taehyun, the fox, tries so so hard to find his prince and be with him, only to find him... yea... well... you know... rip. i can't help but think about mcd all the time when it comes to txt lore. especially now that this album is the little prince related and before we got peter pan concept. isn't it strange to realise they're showing us the depth of "children stories" that truly aren't all happy and pure, rather scary and dark.

it hurts to imagine yeonjun as the little prince who feels so abandoned and so alone in the strange (adult) world. he tries to find someone like him, someone who would understand or someone worth staying for. then we have the fox, taehyun, who is everyone yeonjun ever needed. until he remembers there is his rose out there, waiting for him. and that brings me to the idea of dried flowers. when they all sit in front of the glass "coffin" kind of a thing... it makes me think of how they're proving that love is dead. before you realise what you have, it's gone. now the little prince abandoned the fox for the rose that doesn't exist anymore. the separation he went through might just ruin him. and it does.

there's this vibe the pictures give but i'm not sure how to describe it... is it waiting? yearning? hoping? praying? to get at least something. the powerlessness of it all... it hurts so badly and i love it.

of course i forgot to mention how HEAVENLY they all look.... i know it might seem like my favourite concepts would be light and promise BUT truly i cannot pick a favourite because😵‍💫 i would be crazy. the outfits and makeup and overall vibes are so on point this time... ahhh.

what made me really happy is that they also incorporated a fox into the concept pics too? like in light🥹 it truly got me crying. i sound like such a crybaby at this point, but it got me so emotional.

i'm sorry for rambling so much, i'm not even sure if i answered your question properly...
