Summary
There’s an art to building a joke, a clinical method only practice and years of training can turn into mastery.
First comes the setup. You set the mood for the audience, lure them into thinking this is a perfectly normal character, a perfectly mundane situation. That way, they can picture a clear image in their head, relate to the scene.
Then, you have the punchline.
The setup of this story is this: Man writes a routine out of anger against an injustice and goes viral.
The punchline? Yoongi hasn’t figured that part out yet.(Or Comedian Min Yoongi goes viral after an acerbic routine on nation’s son-in-law Kim Seokjin’s public outing.)

Summary
Namjoon can tell Seokjin doesn’t like him.
It probably has to do with the fact that every time he’s around him, he turns into a flustered mess. Where Seokjin is grounded and precise with his words, Namjoon’s sentences barrel onwards with the directionless force of an out of control hamster wheel – rapid, but going nowhere. Sometimes, he wishes he had little note cards like he uses when lecturing, to keep his brain on track during the most mundane of conversations.
Ask Seokjin how his day is, the first bullet point would read.
Compliment him on his new knit sweater. Transition into reason to spend more time together – maybe finally bring up your embarrassing familiarity with all of his published papers? He’d barely been able to keep that fact at bay last time they had gotten coffee.
And finally, wish for the void to swallow you whole when he shoots that slightly puzzled, mostly judgmental look at you, an idiot with several degrees incapable of stringing two sentences together. Swallow down the urge to stop peppering him with questions and asking more just to hear him talk.
or: self-indulgent namjin academia fluff (with some misunderstandings along the way)

Summary
'“Oh, this guy hates you,” Seokjin says, sounding surprised.
“Doesn’t matter what I do,” Yoongi confirms. “My last exhibition, he complained that the room I’d chosen to exhibit neon artwork in ‘wasn’t dark enough’, as though he’d forgotten about health and safety laws that prevent me from allowing visitors to bumble around pitch black rooms.”'
(Yoongi, Senior Curator at the MMCA, curates his exhibitions with just one goal in mind - showing Namjoon, art critic and general pain in his ass, that he knows what he's doing when it comes to curation.)

Bookmarker's Notes
do you ever read a fic, and near the beginning is one perfect, funny line that instantly tells you this fic is going to be perfect and funny and delightful?

Summary
Yoongi has learned quite a bit about Taehyung over the past several weeks—twenty-three, a landscape painter and portrait photographer, keeper of many a cactus, loves sweet drinks and his grandparents and music that plucks at the soul until you’re raw, has a hideously beautiful face—
“Yoongi-hyung,” Taehyung says. “I’ve meticulously been trying to communicate that I have a crush on you through records for weeks now.”
"You what?"
(Or: Yoongi works at a record store. Taehyung doesn't go there for the music.)
