hi again! finally got around to dive into all the video sources and i'll have you know that i've got LOTS of thoughts 😈 that givenchy bts video in particular is just a goldmine and possibly a window into every possible ae dynamic. i had to rewatch it like twice cause i felt like a crazy person everytime i thought back on how they're so free spirited in it, saying just about anything and flirting and messing w/ each other left and right lmao. from ningz's inner femme fatale jumping out everytime karina was around, to her literally giving karina the coochie eyes (i gasped) and making her extremely flustered mid session, to giselle blurting out that winter used to be her favorite but karina took over, to the way winter's silly and laid-back energy brings out karina' mean girl/daring side (karina just making up some game to slap her ass in 4k?! like 😭), to the WHOLE WEIRD TRIANGULATION KARINA/WINTER/GISELLE HAVE GOING ON... MUCH TO THINK ABOUT.

went into that video for a good time and instead came out with so many tinhatting thoughts on the the kinesics, vocalics, paralanguage, haptics and proxemics that exist within the verbal AND nonverbal communication between these four 😭 also on that note, i love how verbal they're w each other? like in most ggs my tinhatting senses mostly have to make do with physical manifestations of closeness, but the aes seem to be just huge chatterboxes and are so flirty and greasy in a sort of "what's better than this? just guys being dudes", gals being pals kind of way. it could be a stretch but i feel like they're a girlgroup packed full of dudes. like they're just some sassy guys/frat boys who made it into a girlgroup except they're actually very girly. very much the snsd vibes lmao no wonder winrina screamed early taengsic to me, these girls are wild and seem comfortable w each other and in themselves.

and ningrina... i feel like i'm becoming kind of obsessed with their haptics in that ningz is, as you said, the biggest maknae to ever maknae, but before that she's also the one with the most experience/training period out of them, to the point where karina assumed she was an unnie and called her so up until ningz caved and corrected her. she's the one who's always listening to these explicit adult songs and has tattoos already, meanwhile karina is like hot mom friend, so easily flustered by ningz but tries to repress how much ningz gets to her. these little pieces on their dynamic make me feel crazy and hhhgkfjfjg yeah i guess i'll keep thinking about them for a very long time, probably.... so much potential, god, i'm so INVESTED... i can't be normal about these girls anymore.

also re: dream YES i'm a huge dream stan lol idk how i never made that connectation before but i totally get the ningrina v jaemsung parallels 😳 jaemin-karina both are so nurturing and love to smother others with affection and undivided attention while also being very wipped by jisung-ningz, who are simultaneously lowkey huge flirts and shy baby bastards. i see the vision! and damn this god longggg i'm sorry
