TAKE IT EASY / I LOVE YOU + every jeno pic from the narcissism photobook my 1pick moment 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 but actually this is such a difficult question bc i feel like i’ve been inconsistent in keeping up this year And also i have the memory of a amnesiac goldfish so i can’t promise to be free from recency bias 😭 and also they went through that uh whatever it was during the latam tour … and there was endless dream photobook yaoi… and jaemin live tweeting about jeno ferragamo fashion week… and the insanely horny marknomin vlive 😏 and jaemin reviving their couple backpacks from 2019 so he could work on his photobook and exhibition while they were on tour 🥹🥹 Um there were epic highs and lows and it’s too much to go through comprehensively i’m so overwhelmed!! like how am i supposed to do jaemjenduce this year 🥹 but…. maybe i should make an entire thread of my personal fav jmjn moments at this point if i’m alr listing them out like this 😭

hii i actually just answered this here and here i would say they’re my favorite throuple after marknomin and triple j, and nohyuck itself keeps drawing my interest lately… i seriously do love their distinctly boundaryless dynamic so much and consequently it’s made me think about nominhyuck a lot more as well… to quote myself “3p context undeniably adds to my enjoyment of nohyuck as a dynamic, nahyuck rivalry antagonism is also amped up, they have the potential to be so terrible (pos) together bc of the lack of boundaries“

CONSERVATIVE??? 😧😧😧 anon pleek i’m so bewildered i don’t even know whether i should feel offended or not lmao um sorry for not showing a very liberal open minded multi-ship image lately on main… i loveee multishipping and 3ps i just also have Main ship :’) funnily enough i’m actually in the middle of writing a dreamwidth post about my favorite dream triangulations and nominhyuck is one of them! if you want a little sneak peek i’ll attach a chart i made a while ago powerscaling the 3ps against each other for reference… but also the long and short of it is that i love shared history like these three guys have been together For Freaking Ever, they probably know each other inside and out (😏) and i do love that nohyuck have such a unique bickering, casually physical r/s that can only be borne out of knowing each other that well. we all know haechan loves to poke the bear and elicit reactions so jmjn do take on a kind of twin terror dynamic with him sometimes.. see hello future mv behind @ 16:11. it’s like… i already love jmjn i love nahyuck i love seeing how both of these play out in jmjnhc where there are so many layers involved… jmhc->jeno’s best and worst tops (the amount of nahyuck teasing and bickering over him would be insane), jmjn->indulging hc’s glaring masochistic tendencies in tandem (jm verbally jn physically…maybe jm physically too 🙂‍↕️😏), hcjn-> provoking jm into more action bc they know exactly how to press his buttons.. it’s really so perfect. wow i kind of already gave it all away at this point lol but umm yes i like nominhyuck yes i am a jm1 jn0 multi shipper 🫶

i believe it lol! and quite honestly i don’t think this should come as much of a surprise at all given that jaemin’s underlying source of motivation for this career has always been the love he has for dream and the fans above all else… anybody remember this video where he was talking about cooking for his future family wisjekdkd. and he’s also been talking about government pensions and taxes since 2019 like my man is preparedddd. he’s ready.

relatedly, i’ve answered a cc 1-2 years ago regarding whether i think jaemin would completely disappear from the public eye once he retired and here is my answer to that:

“i think this depends on a couple of factors—mostly whether his notions of self-preservation will win against everything else, but also on the timing of when he actually retires in his career! if we’re following the trajectory of his sunbae male idols in sm, a lot of them go on to take other jobs in entertainment like acting or mc-ing so they never truly “retire” until a lot further down the road… i feel like by the time true retirement is an option, jaemin might have accumulated a strong desire to disappear completely from public eye (lol cap moon be like), but at his core he still does have that leo stellium predilection towards attention, fan affection, being on stage, and people generally thinking he’s hot 😭 so again, it’s really a question of which one of these aspects will rule out in the end—whether the latent love for fans/fan interaction/being on stage will be enough to continue serving as his tether to idol life.

i could maybe see him transitioning to more lowkey, lower pressure mc/variety role like some of his predecessors, but how much of that would be out of his own volition is up for questioning. i know it’s mostly sm controlling the opportunities he gets currently, but even then he doesn’t seem to have an inclination towards pursuing acting any further…which is kind of a shame given gestures vaguely handsome perfect face, but maybe he’ll change his mind down the road? kinda :doubtful: but i would love to see it.

all of that being said, it really would not surprise me if he ultimately ended up leaving the industry forever!! but if he does end up disappearing from public eye i feel like it won’t happen immediately post-dream, as i imagine it must be at least a little difficult to just excise a decade+ of idol life without at least a little bit of a transition, barring any unexpected situations… like it’s totally possible, but i feel like usual sm fashion is to slowly ease you out of it, especially if they see profit to be made. however jaemin’s hope to have a family and desire for family life is something that i’ve always kept in mind, and if he determined that leaving the industry completely was the best way to achieve that, i have no doubt that he would be able to do it! so i guess my answer is that he’s definitely capable of it, but whether or not he actually follows through would depend on his priorities and goals like 5-7 years from now, or whenever the next contract renewal after this upcoming one is.”

hi anon! korean rps fans already do somewhat routinely compile postype stats, here’s the most recent one i could find for nct, but iirc user @guichan_like used to do more detailed stats for nct rps specifically (rip queen)… i personally haven’t run the numbers in a while but i can say with a fair amount of confidence that the following trends are generally true in korean nct dream rps fandom: the top few rankings don’t change much, it’s usually going to be dongren jaemjen at the top of the popularity rankings, along with makdong and jaemdong. jenren is often up there as well, and jaemin is by far the most popular top and least popular bottom🙂‍↕️, and haechan ranks pretty highly (usually 2nd) on both the top and bottom list. of course if you still want to manually scrape for numbers you can click on the ship tags or honestly just search the ship names in hangul to find the total number of posts and manually toggle the search filters a bit. imo postype is pretty navigable if you have a built in translator in your browser, i’ve had pretty seamless experiences using either chrome or safari… i hope this helped!

aww ofc! actual twitter threads are kind of inexplicably daunting to me .. i hope it’s ok if i just repost my old model jeno vision board ccs here! -> https://x.com/boyteared/status/1656064357154029569?s=46&t=kGRDKdhCe48_Gt-82j849g “mugler jeno is also something i often rotate in my mind palace, along with iris van herpen jeno✨💫 i absolutely love the mcqueen ss23 rtw suit op picked out for jn it’s very classic while accentuating that tiny waist, as well as a lot of other op's visions...they really have an eye for putting looks together!

my own personal additions would have to be:

the aforementioned dion lee ss23... i love a good cutout suit. jeno lee dion lee man just feels right.
this ysl fw23 shirt -> https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2023%2F01%2FSaint-Laurent-Reveals-FW23-Menswear-Collection-24.jpg?q=90&w=1400&cbr=1&fit=max very similar to his diy stage outfit and peter do afterparty silhouette with the loose top and cummerbund but like... what works works. you know?
i know current casey cadwallader era all-black mugler mesh corsets are the wave and i do think they suit jeno sooo well, but 90s/00s mugler would just be a dream.
iris van herpen - jaemin might be the biblically accurate angel but i need to see jeno in ivh's mathematically perfect 3d printed creations or ill die. anything from fw22 haute couture https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ck-4NsfLtTM/ (coincidentally i would also like to see karina in that season's looks esp this dress https://www.instagram.com/p/CfpO5MQM8r7/ ummmmm what can i say i love beautiful 0s).
any dilara findikoglu corset + mesh look
laquan smith fw23 -> https://www.instagram.com/p/Cop-a23uhmN/
there was a cropped bomber jacket from recent rick owens(?) i think that i can't find rn... but ahhh i need to see jeno in that so bad.
the draped chiffon and mesh bodice/silhouette seems to be really popular across multiple fashion houses this season... i truly believe that jeno would kill any look with a cinched waist and flowing fabric."

yes i’ve always been strictly jaemjenist from the very very beginning 🩷 don’t worry i’m not offended at all, i’m aware there are many who have changed their preferences but truth to be told it has never really occurred to me that they could be any other way, even in my early days of stanning. jaemjen just felt right felt natural felt good felt organic… also my way of introduction to fic for them was via reem ao3 idolrapper and meg ao3 jenuyu’s works from 2018! i just really clicked with both of their characterizations and dynamics from the start and never really looked back <3
