I'm a new army and it is the version of this essay on Instagram that tipped me into subscribing. I enjoy all of your reactions and analysis but especially your insights about what attracts us to different members. A married, het white woman, I'm platonically an OT7 but sexually a Yoongi bias and I platonically ship SOPE.

You are so right about Yoongi's persona being masculine without toxicity, quietly caring, someone who will work shit out with you, get shit done with you, who is also goofy and fun sometimes. I also liked your point on Insta that he seems like a partner who would definitely take care of you first before himself when sexing. I ship SOPE in part because Hobi's persona brings that complementary energy while also being caring, nurturing, and damn serious when it comes to business.

The older I get, the sexier plain old competence is--at work, at life, and in relationships. :)
