Just take 'em, take 'em

Woke up at 2am. Couldn't fall back asleep, so got up a bit before 3a. It's getting on to 7a, so I'm pretty sure I'm up for the day. Yay. I've got a ton to do today, too. Grocery store, library, laundry, just enough food prep to get us through the next three days (we're both traveling next week and I don't want stuff sitting in the fridge)...ugh.

Tomorrow might be rough. And then I leave for Indianapolis on Sunday. HA HA HA HA *thud*

At least waking so early gave me plenty of time to do a final pass over my first draft of the First Time fic. Sent it to beta a couple hours ago. My second fic! What a world, what a world. Now I just need to start my third watch of Guardian before digging into the Ghost Story. This time I'll be watching with [personal profile] solo 's subtitles and am Very Excited About That. It'll be [personal profile] mckitterick 's second time watching and I'm excited to hear what he thinks. I got so much out of my first re-watch.

I linked to BTS's "Airplane pt. 2" music video in yesterday's dump (and yes, I did watch it again just now since I obviously had to grab the URL for the link WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR POINT) and in the comments on cm.net [personal profile] kazoogrrl mentioned the MV for Blood Sweat & Tears. Since our tastes align like 90% of the time, I of course checked it out immediately and...um, yeah. It's a lot. Dear lord. Just when you think it's reached Peak Hotness (for me, 1:09 with the swing and again at 1:20 with the swing) it keeps on giving more and more (fingers in mouths! blowing smoke! fucking blindfolds! the...kissing?) until you're left with nothing but your own id and a white flag.

Honestly I'm not entirely sure what is the narrative, but I am HERE FOR IT.

Several translations are available. I like this one:

[Hook: Jimin, Jungkook]
My blood, sweat, and tears
My last dance too
Take it all away

My blood, sweat, and tears
My cold breath too
Take it all away
My blood, sweat, and tears

[Verse 1: Suga, RM, J-Hope]
My blood, sweat, and tears
My body, mind, and soul
I know well they're all yours
This is a spell that will punish me

Peaches and cream
Sweeter than sweet
Chocolate cheeks
And chocolate wings
But your wings are the devil's
There is a 'bitter' next to your 'sweet'

Kiss me, it's okay if it hurts
Just make it as tight
As that I can't feel the pain anymore
Baby, it's okay if I get drunk
I'll drink you in deep now
Deep into my throat
The whiskey that is you

[Chorus: V, Jungkook, J-Hope]
My blood, sweat, and tears
My last dance too
Take it all away

My blood, sweat, and tears
My cold breath too
Take it all away

I want it more, more, more, more
I want it more, more, more, more, more

[Verse 2: J-Hope, Suga]
It doesn't matter if it hurts
Tie me up so I can't escape
Hold me tight and shake me up
So that I can't come to my senses

Kiss me on the lips
A secret just between the two of us
Deeply poisoned by the jail of you
I cannot worship anyone but you and I knew
The grail was poisoned but I drank it anyway

[Chorus: V, Jimin, J-Hope]
My blood, sweat, and tears
My last dance too
Take it all away

My blood, sweat, and tears
My cold breath too
Take it all away

I want it more, more, more, more
I want it more, more, more, more, more

[Bridge: V, Jungkook, Jin/Jimin]
Kill me softly
Close my eyes with your caress
I can't resist it anyway
I can't even escape anymore
You are too sweet, too sweet
Because you are too sweet

[Interlude: Narration: RM]
He too was a tempter; he, too, was a link to the second, the evil world with which I no longer wanted to have anything to do

[Outro: Jimin]
My blood, sweat, and tears
My blood, sweat, and tears


I'd call out the bits I like, but there are too many!

Boy bands, still killin' it...

(Oh, how can you not mention that single wax droplet?)

My comment to Manka was:

"Change my sexuality to Jungkook draped over the swing, Tae under the sliding silk, Jimin dancing blindfolded, J-hope controlling the dancers, RM blowing smoke, Suga playing the organ, and/or Jin making out with the statue"
