Welcome, new Bluesky ARMY friends! I hope you love it here as much as I have 💜 Here's a little intro. Adding to this that I'm in my 30s, and sharing a link to my AO3 for the fic reading folks (I'll make a pinned/carrd or something one of these days...):

Hi, new people! 👋 I'm August. 2020 ARMY (Carpool Karaoke!), OT7, Namgi biased. Queer, nonbinary & neurodivergent. I live in the U.S. (CA) with my spouse, dog & cat. I also really like Stray Kids, video games & fanfic. As a headsup, I talk about/share my writing here & sometimes it has NSFW elements!

a small collection of domestic namgi doodles (ft. their child) 🐱🐨🐾💕
A range of my doodles of domestic namgi, mostly of kisses and snuggling, with two drawings featuring their snoozing black cat. Top image - namjoon looms over yoongi in a sudden kiss 'attack' on their bed, with one arm around yoongi's shoulders and another around his waist. yoongi gives a surprised 'mmph!' in response. Middles images - namjoon spoons yoongi as they sleep, and their black cat snuggles into yoongi as they have a family nap. next image is of namjoon and yoongi standing and kissing, namjoon's arms around yoongi's neck. Final images - yoongi throws his head back in laughter as namjoon smiles into yoongi's neck and his hand travels up yoongi's shirt. they're just playing around, with yoongi up on his tiptoes and his hands clasping namjoon's face. next image is of yoongi and namjoon in bed, first thing in the morning. joon gives yoongi a sweet kiss. yoongi's hand is atop their cat, who is asleep.

A moodboard for the fic 'if you're ready' by auguststarfall, featuring a hanok-style house with warm wood and a tile roof, a stone fireplace with cushions in front of it, a gaming chair in front of PC monitor, a mountain in Sokcho lightly dusted with snow, and photos of Yoongi and Jungkook from the 2021 winter package, bundled up in white jackets. Yoongi is wearing a yellow sweater and a blue beanie, and has a large snowball rolled between his legs. Jungkook has a hand raised and is bare-headed with streaks and blue and purple in his hair.

Watching the first AYS episode in Vietnam last night, and constantly struck by the depth of attentiveness & care between Jungkook & Jimin 🥹 the way their awareness of a situation always encompasses the other person's wants and needs, the little gestures to enhance their comfort and enjoyment

The final chapter of 'if you're ready' is almost done (!!), besides an edit pass or two, so I plan to post it some time this weekend! (As early as tonight or tomorrow, depending.) I've heard from at least a few people who have been waiting until it's finished to read - that time is very soon! 🐺 🏔

This. All of this. Take care of you first. Always. However you can. If dinner is the biggest poutine you can find and then you go play Assassin's Creed for 5 hours because then you get to stab *someone*? If that helps you keep going? Go for it.

Make sure you're hydrating and eathing. I don't care what you're eating today. Fed is best. Get outside and breathe if you can. Make sure to take your meds. Turn off the news and log off social media for a bit. Do something that brings you joy. The rage will still be there, make it joyful rage.

A good rule to follow (especially with new photos):

If you didn't see it

-On an official account (BTS themselves, Hybe/BigHit accounts, Weverse)
-In an article / interview photoshoot (that the official sources have also posted about)
-Merch photobook or equivalent

always check before spreading.

The "Exact matches" and "About this image" tabs are the most useful, because they let you know where the image first appeared and how long ago.

Check for:
-Official sources
-What others are saying in their posts (for this pic everyone is asking if it's AI, which is a good clue)

(more in ALT text)
An image chosen for the "search by image" field, of BTS Jin that I immediately thought was AI generated but wanted to check just to make sure. The "about this image" section of the reverse image search, revealing that the photo is very recent. That's always sus, even if this photoshoot the image is based on is also recent. The "Found on these pages" is helpful in determining if there's an official source, or if the image just popped out of nowhere and started circulating on social media. Note that the exact matches tab will show weird time results especially for facebook, because for some reason it doesn't refer to the time the image was posted on facebook, but to something else (community/account age/another post who knows when it's Meta honestly??). In this instance the oldest result is a day old (showing as the second exact match) and it leads to a random twitter account, where people are telling OP to stop posting AI images (first clue). No official source for the image can be found anywhere on the list (second clue), and many of the reposts are also asking if this is AI or saying it's AI (third clue). Conclusion: This is AI, don't spread.

🧵 A spin-off of my remini edit thread:

🔎 How to check the image source using reverse image search 🔍

All you need is the image you want to verify / find a source for, and google images' "search by image" function. Just save the photo to your device & upload, or paste a link, and check the data.
screenshot from google images front page with the cursor over the "search by image" button on the right side of the search bar The "search by image" function opened, prompting you to upload or drag a file into the field, or paste an image link

spot the difference
either slutjin i mean seokjin for marie claire korea with what i can only describe is his shirt on backwards bc i cannot fathom him in a backless top without crashing out choking and passing away, a long necklace essentially on backwards bc i refuse to call that a body chain without crashing out. he looks ethereal like what they used to sculpt marble statues for (!) or daffy duck draping his top down like a slut either slutjin i mean seokjin for marie claire korea with what i can only describe is his shirt on backwards bc i cannot fathom him in a backless top without crashing out choking and passing away, a long necklace essentially on backwards bc i refuse to call that a body chain without crashing out. he looks ethereal like what they used to sculpt marble statues for (!) or daffy duck draping his top down like a slut (!)

section from the 2021 Rolling Stone article “The Triumph of BTS”: “For Jimin, at least, BTS is eternal. ‘I don't think I've ever really thought of being not a part of this group,’ he says. ‘I can't imagine what I would do on my own. I think when I become older, and I grow my own beard’ — he gestures to my facial hair and smiles — ‘I would like to think that at the end, when I'm too old to dance, I would just like to sit onstage with the other members and sing and engage with the fans. I think that would be great, too. So I'd like to keep this going as long as I possibly can.’”

March 20, 2026, the first day of Spring!

I usually share birth flowers on the day, but this one is too good not to share. The flower for that day is the purple tulip, and it symbolizes eternal love.💜
