Amygdala MV has been age restricted.
Age restriction on YT /destroys/ a video's reach. It won't be suggested in the sidebar, or recommend on front pages. It won't be monetized.
Please turn off all YT views expectations and goal chasing for this MV.
Ten years in a harsh industry didn't make you bitter, or arrogant, or distrusting. You kept your values, your integrity, your love. And instead of being ground down by the relentless drive, you managed to let your hearts share even more love. You managed to keep the wonder,+
For no particular reason, a reminder that Jimin has a method he uses for getting his shirt to ride up
(src memories 2021, PTD On Stage VCR making clip)
So I was rewatching Jin's vlive today and... Oh what a gorgeous soul he has. There were so many small things that made me fall even harder in love. I especially noticed that while he was talking about 🪖, he didn't do any of the blinking he does when he's flustered / unsure. +
Fuck me but this is hilarious
PROMOTION. DONE. RIGHT.
I mean it's a shameless dip into the ARMY clout but
1) barbie doesn't need us really to be popular,
2) this is so funny
3) and respectful 👏
And so it becomes really cute instead of cringe 🥰
I'm sorry, but
우리아미 is the sweetest term of endearment I know, and they use it all the time, and it's so possessive a d protective and caring and they always have such warmth when they say it. Taehyung looking out at his armys and shouting YOU ARE OURS! is my safe place.
Olympic Gymnastics Arena (KSPO) is an old friend to BTS and ARMY by now.

Ok I'm stumped. Who posted this studio / clean version of Arirang back in early October 2016? It's not on any officials that I can see, kcon or Bangtan. But it's clearly a different recording than the kcon perf, there are details in this that can't be heard in the perf. What!
Yesterday, our Jung Kook repeated a promise made between us and them years ago. To be our forever singer. But did you know ARMY were the ones who prompted Jung Kook to say those words?

hope and love, and the desire for human connection, through all of it. I would not blame anyone who faced what you have, if they closed their hearts and retreated. But you seven, you managed to find a path to keep your selves whole in this storm. You still let us in, trust us.
Thank you for being you. Thank you for still keeping your hearts open. I love you. I will be here, in 6 months, in 2 yeas, in 10 years.
Forever, aniya? 🥹
Happy Festa, everyone.

Since I keep showing concerts to baby armys and trying to give context, let me just quickly order album releases and concerts...
First, an overview of the concerts.
1. The Red Bullet
2. BTS Begins
3. HYYH on Stage
4. Wings
5. Love Yourself
6. MOTS ON:E
7. PTD on Stage
Someone at the White House knows a lot about BTS, and has proper editing skills... The slowmo, the cuts, the use of music here that isn't just Dynamite and Butter 🎶 ending it with Euphoria is awesome 😍
It was great to meet with you this week at the White House,
@bts_bighit
. The rise in anti-Asian hate crimes requires all of us to stand up, speak out, and give hate no safe harbor. Thanks for all you’re doing. It matters.
I love how truly flat a structure we have. I saw many people suggest the donation matching independently of each other, and with no input from a main organiser, we just set to work. OIAA came online many hours later to find us already using the tools they've given us.
This screenshot is from the 5th Muster Magic Shop VCR, at the end, where the Owner closes the box after helping Jung Kook heal. Each box represents one person healed, and each are labeled with names. bts.jungkook, army.lee, bts.jimin, army.wilson... Etc. The boxes are us. Healed.
He was calm, assured, knew what he wanted to say, and how to communicate it. I was surprised at just how detailed he went with the timeline. He's right- it had become this thing that was impossible to talk about. He seemed SO content to he able to talk about it finally.
Another thing that struck me as well, is that he clearly has no regrets. He made his decisions, and he considers those decisions correct.
He is someone I admire so. To go through life with this much integrity, loyalty and confidence, is beautiful to me. I want to emulate it!
If any of my baby armys are confused, 아포방포 - apobangpo, stands for ARMY forever, Bangtan forever.
Jungkook made this abbreviation way back when, during the fan cafe days.
And it means what it says... We will walk together, forever.
What is your favourite OT7 picture, and why? (non fansite please)
For me it's always been this photo. They've just finished their massive LY tour, they're finally home, celebrating together in their dorm, like the family they are 🥹
Getting an accurate understanding of what the audience sounds like is SO hard. Capturing sound is so difficult. Even for me, when I was in the middle of it, I couldn't really hear WHAT the crowd was singing, just that we were LOUD. My phone couldn't capture it at all. +
If you're a newer ARMY, from 2020 and out, I know you know how to interact and act with BTS. We know that our guys are not the same as western celebs, and we know that their safety and freedom comes first.
We know that entitled fans are from every era. So we lead by example.

Well, for my part, I have a journal that I record everything. We also have dedicated accounts that list everything that has happened in a day, like

. It can get insane. 😅
@minayahhhhh
Honestly, when I compare official translations with the fan translated ones, the fan translations often seem to include more nuance, and consider lyricism / poetry with songs, context info... So so valuable!
In May 2019, BTS was busier than ever. They had just finished LY tour, released Persona, attended BBMAs, lots of talk shows... Before the LYSY encore tour started.

from the three stops in USA in May. 🥺
Ever since FESTA became a thing, they've given us choreography videos, dance practices, and stage rehearsals for FESTA. There's 31 in total. Most years we got 2 or 3, but last year they went big and gave us 13.
A thread!

I'll just say this. Army I fucking love you. In every DM and GC and discord server right now there are a thousand small changes happening, people with extras, people who are in line on JP FC, people who give to others. And it's beautiful.
Him saying asking for unconditional love is irresponsible and that he instead will chose to live as love, and hope our love will find him.
It's the most healthy, beautiful, trusting thing and it's making me cry
I don't think I have anyone on my tl who subscribes to the solo-incited witch hunt on Bora, but if I do, I will block you. Feel free to block me too.
Do read the White Paper Project. Do ask yourself why one of the very few people who bother translating business and finance news
So. Weverse is being VERY CLEAR that they don't want the paid content pictures shared. They made it impossible to download normally, PLUS, this week they added a big fricking notification at the top of the album.
So let's not share it, honestly.
I often think, ah, I wish I had been here from the start, or similar.
But look, I arrived in time for this. For their grand anthology. For Born Singer being released.
I am so... So very grateful. 😭🙏
You know, these evolving fanchants thru the tour, for SDL, and LGO, reminds me of how Reflection got the fanchant back during the Wings Tour. During Namjun's "I wish I could love myself", B-ARMY did a "We Love You" chant. This persisted thru the tour,+
@jtoni_n
This was SO impressive! They have clearly worked on their pronounciation, it sounded FLAWLESS! It was clearly live, and their first performance, and they sounded this good! Amazing kings
Our best friend is sick, tired, cranky, can't sleep, his house is being an anti, and yet he shares even this moment with us, this is also part of him, and we are allowed in even in this moment.
Idk man I'm feeling like this is love, yo.
I need examples of Bangtan (and army) keeping up in-jokes for years. Like Yoongi Marry Me and Jimin's Save Me choreo 🙏
I adore the ways we play together.
Just....when you're asking Geffen, Hybe, BHM, for radio plays or streaming services play listing.
How do you suppose they should make that happen? Asking nicely? No. You're asking for them to pay these places for exposure. Our Bangtan doesn't DO that. That's payola.
Why is someone showing up at the airport being applauded? Why are people, moots even, cheering this behaviour? I am gobsmacked. Do you need a refresher on army etiquette?
Don't fucking go to the airport!
So, birthday season. I know we have many new armys in the house since last birthday, and I want to say again that those big, flashy, impressive birthday projects? They're mostly done by either solo fanbases, or fansites. They are ads for themselves, first and foremost.
Post a picture that means a lot to ARMY
And explain why in the comments so we can share our history! 💜
This one is a little bit complicated so bear with me 🥰
If jomorrow & brogether gets a

and there's that line about how Suga wasn't able to do a concert cos he was in the bathroom lying on the floor, right?
Here's the context for that event, the letter he wrote on twitter a few weeks later, and the lyrics. 😢
so, i hate talking about this because it was one of the most upsetting and scary moments of my time being an ARMY, but, let's take a trip to December 27, 2015, BTS is in Kobe Japan for a 2 day concert.... suddenly we start getting negative updates from ARMYs attending the concert
I fully expect one of the songs to have an official fanchant that goes like this
Annyeonghaseyo
Jeoneun bangtansonyeondan
Hwangeum maknae
Jeon Jungkook imnida
Fan photos from concerts are my favourite thing, actually. Blurry, low ress, intimate, non invasive or intrusive, just a memory for life.
And this is my favourite Yunki fan photo 🥰
Day 1 was an incredibly emotional ending ment, Jung Kook found us so beautiful that he welled up. And he finished his speech like this...
Forever Our Singer
This wasn't 1 person leading us (unless you count BTS and BigHit in this case inspiring us), this was our rhizomatic nature spreading the message because each cell thought this was a brilliant idea.
How amazing to watch this happen right in front of me 🥹🥰🫂

One evening in March, 2021, Jin came to weverse to share something.
Bang PD was cooking for him.

We have whole ass spaces for hundreds and sometimes thousands where people will dissect lyrics. We have editors who do nothing else but show their passion and love for the lyrics, and music. We have a producer who hold classes in how he layered 875 songs. You're just... Wrong.
I am travelling from Trondheim, Norway, to New York, in order to watch Suga perform on stage. This journey is a huge deal for me, as I struggle with mental health issues every day.
While there, I'm only doing 1 more thing, and that is - Dia: Beacon.

I feel like one of our love languages is to keep these significant moments in our hearts, and keep repeating them as if renewing our vows.
I feel loved.
Right. Anyone saying we should not be talking about this, need to listen to what our boys themselves say.

Look at us, multitasking like heroes. Organising matching charity donations, while streaming Layover and Take Two and any ARMY song, taking care of each other as we celebrate the contract news, buying old albums and charting them, sending Layover to its third music show win..!
I was trying to find this clip and my description was "B
@ngtan
after mama 2017 looking increasingly fucked out as if after car sex" and everyone knew immediately which clip I was talking about.
Remember the "ARMY Signals" in the Sowoozoo Muster? In the VCR, they used these signals to navigate their vehicle to their destination, and in the talks, they brought out examples of various signals. These signals were the organic movements we form, mainly here on twt.+
White Day is kind of like reverse Valentine's, where the guys give something to the girls. For 2019, we got this White Day special photoshoot with Naver Dispatch.
Just be warned. This is dangerous.
A thread comparing the vcr on the big screen behind Yunki during Snooze for D-DAY, and for D-DAY The Final. The difference is profound.
I have thoughts on what this might mean, at the end of this thread. +
There will be accounts that advertise "sharing links" - and ask you to follow them cos they'll go private. I'm sure some of these people are fine, but couple of things to keep in mind.
The links they share are never THEM hosting. Most streamers of live events that I know of+
Last year Yoongi posted a series of mystery Instagram photos, take by their long-time photographer Kim Yeongjun. I personally think it was never *for* anything in particular, other than playing with another expression of art, to give to us.
A thread.
The one in control is, in fact, Jimin. He is controlling our desire. The Persona we lust for, is the one /he's/ planted in our minds. So he teases us. Pick your filter. As if we have a choice in the matter. No. He is fully aware of his power here. +
