ugh i had a response to this half-typed out but i closed the window, i think it went something like this: daesung+seungri are vital to big bang because they help make big bang an idol group but i can't be bothered to remember what i was saying because TBH they don't interest half as much as the rest of big bang do w/e w/e
watching the scenes in 2ne1tv where bom is recording for gd and top are so interesting with the hindsight that it's for their duet album. bom keeps saying that jiyong is behaving differently and you can see him getting frustrated and idk if he's keeping his cool because of the cameras-- although that's never stopped him from pitching a fit before-- or if it's that it's this album in particular. he seems tired and really careful with bom and top just kind of drifts in and out making faces at her ugh!!!!!! i can't!!!
another thing that interests me with the gtop dynamic is this question of wanting someone vs wanting to BE someone. gd seems to instrumentalize top somewhat, at least musically, and i think he's sort of fascinated by how a lot of what top's known for-- his looks, his voice-- is stuff he just HAS. his voice just COMES out like that and he hasn't spent his entire life performing and prepping for fame. it doesn't take styling for him to look like an idol or to get attention and he doesn't seem to CRAVE that attention the way gd does. there's a sense of effortlessness that i think could captivate gd a little? and then on the other end, gd's got this charm and this way with people and all this energy and confidence, which are things top really has to work at. idk i am so into them rn!!!
lmao ykw ia on all points. my interest in them ebbs and flows but it's hard to ~get to know~ daesung anyway, bc he's even more private than top and his persona isn't the type to interest me.
yes!! i love that bom even called him out on that and he was just like "...no...you sound fine..." and was just really frustrated and annoyed by the process. it's actually weird bc he always says it only takes him an hour or two to write a song so idk what's going on. my tinhat self says that it's diff bc top is involved way more than he usually is so he has another person's input to consider and etc. TOPBOM I SHIP IT, also top just doing subtle stupid shit to make gd + bom laugh was fuckin a+
shit ykw i never thought of that before, or at least i wasn't able to articulate it like this. i can definitely see that, even from back in the days when he got him to join bb. and yea i kind of see gd being like that towards top in general. i mean top is pretty socially awkward but he seems to have a really zen attitude towards life, like he knows things are going to work out eventually; gd seems like he wants the freedom to make his own choices and ~shape his own destiny~ and yeah like you said they're totally opposites at so many things and yet they're such good friends in spite of/because of it. i could totally buy gd getting kind of infatuated with that, how they took such different approaches and yet ended up at the same spot.
i just also enjoy the fact that gd totally holds the reins and is the leader but when top calls him out on his shit, he laughs about it and gets embarrassed that he even went that far. TO ME THEY ARE PERFECT~~~
