Never stops making me smile. I want someone like this in my life. 💜
Okay so the best thing,the best thing about Sirs Patrick & Ian being best friends is that they met because of the X-Men movie.
I saw Sir Patrick speak a year or so ago and someone asked him about their friendship. He told this story about how I think they’d once or twice worked on the same production but had had very little interaction, and that when he’d been a kid, he’d utterly looked up to Sir Ian, who had had an established theater career at a very young age.
People assume that they’ve been friends since they were young, which makes sense given the sort of work they’ve done and their career trajectories, but no. Sir Patrick basically had a giant hero-crush-from-a-distance on Sir Ian for most of his life AND THEN on the set of X-Men, their trailers were put next to each other and they were significantly older than anyone else on the set, so they started spending their downtime together.
And became inseparable. And this is amazing.
So everyone who wants a friend like this, you have time. <3
concept: when jeongguk and yoongi find out theyre roommates and jeongguk flings himself at yoongi and yoongi holds him in his arms happily and lets jeongguk cling onto him and yoongi is smiling his gummy smile and they both look so ecstatic and the skinship is so comfortable and natural for the two most stoic members
Members describing the member sitting to their right
NAMJOON ( ABOUT JIMIN ) : Our personalities are very similar. In our daily lives, there are a lot of circumstances where we have the same opinion, although his height is the least smiliar with mine.
JIMIN ( ABOUT JUNGKOOK ) : Up till now, I’m still not very clear of Jungkook’s personality. He shows very different sides of him. Sometimes he’s serious, but other times he acts like a fool. But even so, among all the members, he’s the most pure ( probably as in a child’s heart)
JUNGKOOK ( ABOUT JHOPE ) : Hobie hyung is someone whom I can learn a lot of things from. He’s someone who’s very firm and cheerful. Practice is bound to be tough sometimes, but Hobie hyung will always lighten up the atmosphere and encourage us.
JHOPE ( ABOUT JIN ) : Jin hyung is someone who has a very perfect exterior ( his looks) and personality. He takes care of the younger members well and also gives us a lot of encouragement. Out of 100 points, I give him 100 points!
JIN ( ABOUT YOONGI ) : Suga is very passionate about music. He practises a lot and takes care of the members very well. Although it may seem like he ignores ( what is happening around him ) he looks out for the members pretty well.
YOONGI ( ABOUT TAEHYUNG ) : Taehyunggie is very serious and passionate towards work. Whenever he’s set on doing something, he’ll put in a lot of effort and complete it. He definitely has the potential to do well.
TAEHYUNG ( ABOUT NAMJOON ) : Namjoon hyung is a leader that treats all of us really well. Whenever any of us have personal troubles, he’ll send us texts or have 1-to-1 talk with us and advise us.

문상을 동전으로 긁는 그기분을 난성인이라 핸드폰결제하는 그런기분을 현질의 떨림을
You won’t know That feeling of scratching a gift certificate That feeling of buying it through my phone since I’m an adult Trembling feeling of buying game money

모를꺼야
하고나면 남들과 출발선을 다르게 시작할수있다는것을 자존감이 높아진다는것을 남들의 시선에 기분이 좋아진다는것을 그 현질의 떨림을
You won’t know After buying game money, I will be starting on a different level than the rest It boosts my self-esteem That I feel better in the eyes of others That trembling feeling of buying game money
