You know WHAT I want for BTS? What Coldplay has. 26 years and counting of success and loyal fanbase. Of doing what they love. THAT is what I wish for them. Outside of industry pressure & expectations.
Tbh I really like how privacy differs between members.
We’ve Joon & JK, who happily show us their apartment
Then hobi who took us home to his parents, we saw Tae’s apartment from insta/WV… and Jins gigantic clock…
But then there’s bickering mini-mi ++
For baby army & those who are confused:
BTS was offered the fast track all the way back in 2016/17 but they REFUSED. Why? Bc they wanted to grow organically with their artistic freedom intact. It’s also the reason BH is a private company.
BTS is heavily involved ++
👤: what’s your plans after?
🐱: I’ve no plans!
👤: then you should come (to the after party)
🐱: *realizes grave mistake* noo, noo
👤: *insisting*
🐱: *sweats in introverted hermit crab* I’ll make sure to say hi
(YOONGI BANGTAN BOMB)
I finally figured it out.
This hiatus ain’t hiatusing bc they want us to think it never happened. It’s like ‘keep the toddler busy w a tv show, while we go do some important chores’…
We are the toddlers kept busy while BTS is doing important chores.
++ being private AF. Like we barely see the members families anyway (and I don’t want to see them) apart from hobi’s sister bc she’s an influencer. But Yoongi & Jimin really let us “know everything w/o actually sharing anything”. It’s amazing.
So…. THIS is certainly NOT what I wanted. I shared a scary moment in which I was lucky to be able to use what I had at hand (also in hopes others might be able to use this trick as well) … I’ve k0r3ab00 blocked for reasons, bc they’re nothing but a tabloid. Pls don’t support it
@meimayhavewords
I kid you not, I pretended to talk into my headphones from then on till I was home just in case... T__T Maybe I'll write in on WV later
++ in their own promotions, as team as well as as individuals. We saw it with BE, we see it w their own projects like JITB, D-Day, FACE, indigo & astronaut. We saw it with FESTA. Please listen to what BTS says! Not a solo. Solos are antis.
For the new and/or confused ones:
OT7: “one true7” = ARMY. You don’t like all 7, you’re not ARMY. We support & love all 7
BIAS: a member you have a special connection to. Can be one, can be 7. You’re still OT7.
SOLO: Anti. Focuses just on 1 member, ++
I knew I found my people. I’m a

! I hold a master degree in fcking literature w focus on darn middle-high German! I can quote you the fcking Nibelungenlied! I wrote my BA thesis about the languages of LOTR! Nerds rule!
Always remember that BTS had planned just ONE show at Wembley in 2019, but tickets were sold out in about 20min with almost +240k ppl still waiting in line to get them. So just a few days later, they announced a 2nd date. Wich sold out in 19 min, w +260k ppl still in line.

Now I’m literally imagine him walking into the broker’s office with two silver suitcases, crashes them on the table, opens them & turns them around. Then takes off his sunglasses & goes: one (1) apartment, please.
If BTS should teach you something it’s the way they treat each other. Respect, compassion, unwavering support, honesty & unconditional love.
Don’t ever settle for less no matter if friends or partners.
People who go “*gasp* bUT ThE MinORs!!!” …. That’s why there’s a ‘clean version’ that was rated PG12. Over 65% of ARMY are 18+. If your delicate ears can’t hear a grown man talk about sex (respectfully at that), go back to church gospel or something. ++
++ hates the others. Wishes for BTS to disband, harasses translators & OT7 fanbases, sees everything as competition, victimizes their chosen member, tries to control said member & is angry said member isn’t acknowledging them. Dog piles ARMY. Brainwashes ++
@SarahJaneCheeky
Young girls being passionate about a musician: rapid, hysterical
Young boys being passionate about a football star: energy, passion, accepted.
It’s Bc patriarchal society prefers its females quiet and proper.
@unmyoongie
It’s general, but mantis try to push BTS towards pay0la (to pay for radio spins, playlisting etc), which goes against BTS’s organic growth & standard. Basically mantis are too la y to do the work ARMY does & want BTS to sell their artistic freedom & have less income.
++ new ARMY, toxic af. Tries to make them believe that the members have their own fandom names (which they don’t).
“If he was your bias you would ..”
“I thought you’re ot7 but you never ..”
“Fake ot7”
“As a seokjinnie/pjm/thv(..) you should..”
++
++
“You’re an anti bc you don’t support this project (that’s by a solo fanbase)”
It’s all in the language. They try to guilt trip you & take advantage of the fact that most of y’all don’t fact check. So next time an ARMY gets dog piled, FACT CHECK. BTS = ARMY.
@awjiminie
@sleepymoonchild
the team effort dies the moment there will be just one winner. and Yoongi will be shameless while being extra cute as well.
@yedaamk
Why? If they’re upset about him sharing a song, that’s THEIR problem. Not his. How about they apologize to him for not being able to read & understand literature? 💀 he ain’t giving y’all your lil power high, huh? Sucks for you.
@GoAwayWithJae
@joontaekooq
‘Jungkooks fans’? Aren’t they army? Bc if they’re not army, then away w them. Besides that money surely could’ve been used in better ways than an exhibit. Like relief funds for essential workers or for the environment. 💀
It’s almost a poem, is it not? 🤣
“Right people, (in a) wrong place
(Are) nuts (for falling)
Out of love
(Right,) domodachi?
(The) Groin
(It’s) heaven (you see..)
(But we are) LOST!
(While you go) around the world in a day ㅠㅠ…
(Just) come back to me.”
@nadmylove
You guys don't understand. He really knows. Like the Ardbeg he chose? Smoky, not sweet. a lil torfy, aftertaste reminds of coffee. Highland Park? probably the 12 y/o. sweeter, not smoky with a sourness afterwards. Perfect for kookie, who likes sweet stuff. He knows.
I knew my Google photo album would not betray me!
He posted that photo before. 2nd November 2023 (that’s the date of my Google photos) it it seems to be still archived on RKive)

Ok, real talk. I know lots of you feel bad rn bc you fell for solo stan guilt traps. Let me tell you from a POV of someone who was guilt tripped by her own mom for decades. If a sentence starts w “you owe xy an apology” or “xy deserves better” or ++
I made BangBangCon the live Tickets... We had some for the first BangBangCon made by a sweet army... so... i tought I'd try myself on some. I have a single one w Transparent background as well. So if you want it, I can post a link to my google drive.
++ they’re false & paint a narrative. In this case they’re quite on point but I still won’t link it bc I’m against those threads by principle. That said: don’t follow solo fanbases. If you’re a new army: do not follow solo fanbases. Follow BTS official accounts. Follow OT7.
@damanique
I think he intended to film bc why else bring it to the bathroom but during showering forgot he was filming so it was like: “OJO oh… OHHHH!”
As I say this, I got contacted w links to expose threads to certain KNOWN solo fanbases. I checked these threads (which are from 2020). Whether they’re right or wrong is not for me to say. Personally I’m against expose threads bc often enough ++
I really love how the members always know if one of them feels lost. And the way they quietly observe & wait till the member is ready to talk about it. Then they listen & have said members back. It’s such a wonderful friendship & brotherhood 💜
@HYBEOFFICIALtwt
… no one needs AI. We want human artists with human voices. Instead of buying into it, you should protect your HUMAN artists from being used for AI covers.
@SarahJaneCheeky
Tbh I just know it bc BTS themselves talked about it here n there. And hobi’s sister & Yoongi’s brother are openly active on Instagram... but for the rest? I don’t even really know what they look like, nor do I care.
What is happening right now is an echo of what happened in 2016. That’s why ARMY from that era are so fierce.
The hate, the tries, the gossip … that’s why we as ‘older’ ARMY tell y’all to learn our fandom history! Why we won’t let anyone rewrite it.
@sweetbtstea
My stepfather tries so hard to make me feel bad about liking BTS. He made me feel bad about a lot of things, like horse riding, biking, gaming, drawing … even writing. After moving out, I found joy again in lots of things. Now he can’t ruin ish for me.

To make it ABUNDANTLY CLEAR:
BTS, no matter if they’re on solo adventures or in a group format, have ONE fandom. That fandom is called ARMY. And if you want to carry the title ARMY, you love & support ALL 7 MEMBERS.
@tinyseokjinnie
Basically, you mean, they let their renewed contracts checked by a lawyer as every sane person should, to see that everything goes fair n square?
@ho_jo_7
I always say: k-pop is their roots and always will be but they kinda outgrew the confinements of that industry. Even though they’re molting it as they grow out of it as well.
@omermeroz
And ... in comparison to the 12M that watched the pre-ceremony 🤭. Of which the majority was army. In fact looks like the view milking didn’t work
