Agust D 2 theory/story/whatever this is
Here is the MV if you haven’t seen it yet.
Okay so correct me if I’m wrong but the Agust D video story is basically this:
So there are two Yoongis here: one seems to be a kind of king while the other is... well, I’m not sure but he’s not a king and seems to be dressed really modernly, jackets and pants and the whole shebang. Both of them are pretty badass, I’d say.
And it looks like modern, less rich Yoongi is wandering through a village (maybe gathering up allies? Since we see him with a bunch of other people later) while king Yoongi (who am I kidding, Yoongi is always a fucking king no matter what he’s dressed as) is just hanging around being cool and wielding swords with his little minions around him.
Modern Yoongi drives up in a rusty-ass, dusty-ass train wreck of a car (bitch you’re boasting about your money I’m sure you can afford a better car so you don’t get tetanus or some shit) to King Yoongi’s palace and is promptly arrested by him and sent to get executed (man, King Yoongi is hella protective of his garage space, isn’t he? He’d probably be the ‘GET OFF MY LAWN’ type when he grows older).
King Yoongi is standing up in the balcony watching Modern Yoongi about to get executed by his henchman who has a giant sword, while Modern Yoongi is tied up and blindfolded (while looking fucking amazing). King Yoongi is flashing his own sword around. And then, henchman swings his sword and brings it down.
But he doesn’t kill Modern Yoongi. Instead, he cuts off the rope tying his hands together and gives a box with a fucking gun to Modern Yoongi, who takes it and walks up to King Yoongi (also what the fuck King Yoongi, you have zero security. 0/10 would not recommend). And then he shoots King Yoongi. Or at least in the general direction of King Yoongi.
Okay, theories: what does this mean? Is there a story? (I mean... duh, there is)
So this can be interpreted as a story about social classes with a whole ‘eat the rich’ sentiment. The poor destroy the rich. And by the poor, I don’t mean just Modern Yoongi: the king’s henchman also betrays the king, and Modern Yoongi gathers allies, who we see dancing with him around his busted tetanus machine. There are also those creepy people in black in front of the king’s palace headbanging (though I can’t blame them, the song is dope). I bet all these people are also ‘poorer’ and support Modern Yoongi. Which! Would also explain why the king has no security: everybody has turned against him. Good riddance.
Another theory: this MV represents tradition vs modernity. Well, maybe not tradition, but being stuck in the past. This is why Modern Yoongi and his allies are the only ones who appear to be dressed ‘normally’ in the whole video: the rest of the kingdom is stuck in tradition and old-fashioned-ness (is that a word?). Also note: King Yoongi’s weapon is a fucking sword. What’s Modern Yoongi’s weapon? A gun. A gun defeats a sword. Modernity defeats tradition.
So. Is this not a literal story? Maybe it’s a representation of the world around us now, or maybe even Agust D’s own mental turmoil and debate (or not even Agust D’s, maybe this is just a general trouble people face or something). That would also explain why they’re both Yoongi: because it’s a fight between two parts of himself. Or maybe BigHit is too broke to pay another actor, idk.
So that’s what I think happened in this MV. Maybe one of these theories is correct. Maybe it’s a mix of all of these. Maybe none of these is correct.
Whatever it is, we got a dope-ass MV out of this.
(also who else felt like the whole ~aesthetic~ of this MV was very similar to the one in ON??? Was it just me?)
(also note that we don’t even know what happened to the king. maybe he deflected the bullet with his sword like those weird-ass action movies do, or maybe modern yoongi missed his aim, or maybe they joined forces and conquered the world together, thus making this whole post null and void)
(also also wouldn’t it be so cool if this MV took place after or was somehow related to Agust D? I’m not sure how that would work- maybe Agust D busted out of where he was trapped in the Agust D MV to go kill the king in Agust D 2? At this point I’m just shooting ideas into the air)
The Demon Brothers: Shopping Headcanons
the demon bros go to the mall together, how bad could it be? 🛍️🛒 they're definitely one of those loud families, y'know? the one that takes up the entire walkway or causes a mess somewhere that blocks the mall traffic😂
Lucifer
Has prepared a list of the things he needs to buy.
He knows what he wants to buy and where to get them and only goes to those stores.
Gives the parent of a loud and crying kid a very judgemental stare.
Usually buys his clothes in high-end boutiques but if he goes to the mall and something catches his eyes from the store window, he's willing to check it.
Will never be seen shopping in sweats. He's one of those people who go to the mall looking like they're going to a fashion show.
Satan asks him if he needs some help with the groceries and Lucifer's pride gets Very Hurt and Offended.
“I can handle it, thank you very much," he huffs. Which he regrets a little later, not that he will ever admit that he maybe needs some help.
Mammon
Begs Lucifer to buy him the newest watch. Lucifer refuses.
Tries to sneak food into the shopping cart when they're shopping for groceries but he's not very subtle about it.
Makes tiktok videos with Asmo in one of the aisles.
He either overspends—buying the most expensive and unnecessary things, blowing up his money like he just got his first paycheck—or he's the most frugal shopper you have ever met. There is no in between.
“Oh, I got some coupons for that.”
“Wait a sec, lemme check my phone, I have an online code for the discount..”
“I wanna use my reward points to pay for this. They ain't expired yet, I think.”
Gets into a fight with another customer at the sale racks and clearance sections.
Negotiates the price with the uncomfortable and annoyed cashier who just wants to finish ringing up his purchases because he is holding up the queue.
Leviathan
Manages to walk through the crowd without brushing shoulders with other people, all while his eyes stays on his phone. It's a talent.
The stroller. Walks really slow.
Doesn't try to sneak in more junk food and snacks anymore, just straight up tells Lucifer before putting his food in the cart and hopes Lucifer is in a giving mood.
Goes with Satan to the bookstore to check out the comic books and manga sections.
The kind of person to check the menu online first because deciding what to buy at the counter of the mall café is Very Stressful.
Goes to the electronics store because he wants to check that new headphones. Doesn't buy anything, orders it online when he gets home.
Goes to the arcade if the mall has one.
“Wait, let me check it online first, maybe we can get it for less the price if we order it through their website.”
Satan
Goes to the pet store just to see the animals.
“Satan disappears again.” “It's fine, he's probably in the bookstore as usual.”
Just quietly slinks off from the group and then joins them again sometime later, holding a bag of new books.
Gets mistaken as a store employee.
Sneaks in food to the grocery cart and actually succeeds. Lucifer only realizes that there are extra groceries in the cart when he's already at the cashier.
Gets asked to record the tiktok videos Mammon and Asmo are doing.
The person that judges you after he glances at your cart and see what kind of groceries you're buying.
Somehow gets out of helping Lucifer with the groceries.
Asmodeus
Goes inside every stores that sells clothes or accessories.
Yes, he will try all of these clothes even though he knows he's not buying most of them. He just likes playing dress up.
Takes selfies in the changing room.
Buys the new products of his favorite cosmetic brand. His palm has shades of pink on it from sampling the lipsticks.
“Sorry, I can't help carry those grocery bags, I'm just too delicate for such brutal hard work😔. I'll leave it all to you, my strong brothers😌.”
Overall is having a great time, even if he's just window shopping. He enjoys shopping for the experience and not just the things he buys.
That one person who holds up the line because he's flirting with the cashier.
Beelzebub
Puts a lot of food in the grocery cart.
“Beel, you can't open it yet, we haven't paid for it— oh shit, okay just— just don't throw away the empty packages and we'll let the cashier scan those later.”
Checks out the sports store because he broke his sport shoes from the last Fangol match.
Offers to wheel another cart so Belphie can sleeps in it while they're grocery shopping.
Refolds the clothes back and reorganizes the products on the shelves. He doesn't like it when they're messy.
Stops at every snack kiosk.
Walks faster when they've finally finished all the shopping and are now heading to the mall food court before going home.
Belphegor
“Can I just wait in the car? Just leave the window open a little and I'll be fine.”
Finds a bench or a seat and just stays there until one the brothers comes and tells him they're moving to the next store.
Will sit on the floor near a wall if he can't find a place to seat.
Insists that he needs more pillows and blankets. Lucifer compromises with him and he only gets the new blanket.
Browses through the toys store to see if there's a plushie he likes.
Sleeps on one of the beds in the furniture store. Sleeps in a grocery cart. Also sleeps standing up in the most inconvenient spot.
Lets out a loud, relieved sigh when they all finally sits down at the mall food court. Complains that his feet is killing him even though he spends 89% of the trip sitting on the mall benches.
Fear, Part II
Is there a reason
You feel so alone
With all these people
Surrounding you?
The sun is shining
And the birds are out
Summer air against your skin
But it’s still winter inside.
You’re locked in a cage
Made up of your mind
The monsters are out
And they won’t rest.
Put on a smile
Don’t let them see
How many cracks
You have burning inside.
You can take another day
And your lungs will keep on moving
So focus on happy thoughts
And you’ll be fine.
But now the winter air is biting deep
And it’s getting hard to breathe
Through all this falling snow
And the beasts hunting you.
You’re pounding against the bars
In this cage you’ve made in your brain
But the howling wind and the blanket of snow
Are melding together and leaving you treading
This deepening water
An ocean of silence
That swallows your screams.
Take a deep breath
And paste the smile back on.
Focus on the happy thoughts
And take another pill.
If nobody wants to hear your words
That’s alright, you’ll be fine
Keep your mouth shut, you know,
Conform and don’t be crazy-
Others have it worse anyways.
You don’t remember when
Those pills began to stop
And now your heartbeat is racing
From the killers in your head.
It’s all so much
And now you must be insane
Because nobody else says a word
About suffering like this.
Your mask is far too much
A weight you can’t remove
You’re a bird with clipped wings
A flower with no stem.
You’re chained up in your own mind
Gagged by your own fear
Pills by the handful
Just to feel alive.
Time is fading to a fuzzy haze
The only constant this endless nightmare.
You just want to smile again
You just want to feel whole again!
Cause and effect but this is effect without a reason
What’s the cause, what’s the root
Of this sickened tree?
They ask if you’re afraid of death
Chastise you for these reckless thoughts
And tell you to just grow up.
So how do you tell them
That you’re not afraid of death anymore?
The hell in your head
Is so much worse
Than any hell a religion could offer.
You’re not afraid of the reaper
Or any judgmental god
You’re afraid
Of this life.
Silence is a blade
Cutting your skin
But words make the cuts
Sink all the deeper still.
Anything to end this pain
Anything to cut the chains
Holding you hostage to the demons inside
If heaven is real that’s not where you’ll go
Because this pit can’t be climbed out of
The walls are too sharp
And trying only broke your will.
Every moment of this hell
Is too much, it’s a crushing weight
Anything at all
To end this pain.
Life isn’t fair
And god, don’t you know it
You’re so tired
And the waters are deep
So maybe it’s time
To set you free.
