hi you dont know me and i kinda dont know how i got here (yes i do it was ao3 and i dont read smut but im invested in txt/enha Thoughts always). i actually stanned enha after watching their debut, not i-land (literally 6pm kst on the dot as it was premiering just bc i was bored??) and kind of fell down a very unforgiving rabbit hole and now i am. very invested
your thoughts on the show are so interesting to me partially bc i have Never Seen Another Survival Show unless you count various eps of the stray kids debut show, which i don't because they all made it anyways. i liked the ground concept a Lot for the same reason! it was fun to watch them come up again, even if watching some of them (sunoo) get shuttled back and forth from i-land to ground each episode was :// i went into it Only wanting to know more about the debuting members ngl i was firmly like "i will Not care about any of these other kids" but like. even Before that. i was like "i am only watching this for heeseung" so... yeah, pretty clear bias over here LOL... i did end up caring about a few of the other trainees like geonu and hanbin, i liked their steady presence. k ... confused me a lot, lol still not sure how i feel about him. seon irritated me for the Same reason as you mentioned, i kept wondering why he was so central to the whole part distribution thing. he seemed pretty adept at playing the game from how he immediately attempted to ally with heeseung, but on the other hand it came across as very heavy handed to me. what is the guy's deal. anyways, that was a tangent
as for Dynamics i think atm jay/heeseung heeseung/sunghoon and sunghoon/jake are most fascinating to me. jay and heeseung (u said u havent seen pt2 yet right? i'll keep spoiler free) kind of seem like Perpendicular to each other, to me - not quite opposite poles, but not parallels either? i cannot translate that sentiment into canonical examples unfortunately, hopefully it makes some intuitive sense?? their roles within enha are kinda similar too i think even tho they go about it in very dif ways. just eldest hyung things
heeseung and sunghoon.. i dont know!! they seem very chill with each other. lots of mutual appreciation there i think. sunghoon fascinates me. i find it interesting that the First thing people point out about him, invariably, is how hard he works. (also theyre both very pretty and i like seeing them together sue me)
jakehoon are just <3333 exactly what you've said alr. i like that they're just like Yes this is my bestie now. jake is such a Bean, i think his come-up on i-land was one of my fav parts of the show in general.
i feel like i havent said a lot abt heeseung yet even tho i like, started watching the show For him lol. why do i have a thing for #aces first bangtan jk then yeonjun now apparently jihyo and heeseung?? i didnt Think i had a type but i guess i do. i just think he's Neat!! god why did the show Immediately set him up that way tho, so much pressure right off the bat yikes? but fr he's so fun to watch on stage! crazy charisma right there. :D incidentally, i love how it went from geonu being the Only one to not vote him into i-land to them sharing a vocal stage.. i so wish we'd seen more of geonu because the same age dynamics are so interesting to me.
hmm as for others: jungwon is just very Bean to me and i like his steadiness, sunoo is so very theater kid i love him so much, and NI-KI makes me YELL because he is so talented and strong-willed and determined yes kiddo u go show them how it's done. i loved watching him do the dance for ground. daniel unfortunately i never got too invested in for some reason even tho i do find him cute; i loved his save me stage with sunoo though, he did so good! you're right, the way ni-ki and daniel interact cracks me up
AS FOR TINHATTERY. i simply have no thoughts. none. beomseung now occupy a significant portion of my brain and i would give actual money to learn more about this (?) dynamic. in general txt/enhypen make me lose my mind bc txt are so very new to being sunbaes and Yet.. (also that txt primer you linked is so good thank you so much)
i've been trying to find people who like enha for two weeks with varying degrees of success, many thanks for fueling my brainworms!!
