Learning 한국어 - Found BTS during MotS7
Pinned
I almost need this pinned to the top of my timeline as a reminder.

Missing an announcement is okay. Not being on top of everything is okay. You've stuff going on. You're no less an ARMY because of it. Take care of you! 💜
For anyone else who needs this...

Since today sucked overall, I ended up curled up in a blanket crocheting. I now have 40 hearts done. I think I'll make my goal of 100 freebies.
February 10, 2026 at 2:53 AM
I gave up on crocheting aftet I had to rip apart (frog) 2 hearts in a row. I'll do more tomorrow. I figured at 1-2 a day that I can get a good couple hundred done by August.

Also, new over ear headphones are bringing me mich joy as I again can catch the beautiful nuances in BTS' music.

This is what sparked my conversation about lightstick etiquette. They would NEVER do this in Korea or Japan so spread the word to new ARMY. Keep lightstick in your bubble and never raise it up unless you are doing the wave. PLEASE be considerate of those around you. 🙏

I had to get a new set of earbuds. I'm testing audio quality and am curious- what song do you use to test audio quality / sound?

This. All this... I'm taking my current one (MotS SE), turning it purple, and using it. Fucking hell Hybe. We aren't made of money.
For the first time in my life fuck Hybe fuck whoever made this decision where I have to replace the fuckin lightstick I bought a bit over a fuckin year ago if I want it to work at the fuckin concert in August. Fuck all of that. Fuck it.

This articulates a lot of my feelings on this subject. If airports had private entrances and more restrictions, that might change but as things are now...not my thing. ymmv
Adding a fresh link to this just in case others experience problems with the first. Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to read. 💜

Always! You matter

Eldest: Mada! Are you making freebies _already_?

Me: Yes. I have 180 some days to get these all done.

Eldest: But it's February!!

Me: And?!?!

(Have mercy; This is Eldest's first BTS concert. Eldest has only ever seen BTS at home or the movies. They're in for an experience...)

Found this gem again. It was one of the first performances I watched when it dropped. No wonder I fell into the rabbit hole...

This! Fan art is one thing. AI?!? Fuck no.
I’m choosing not to engage with AI-generated images or content involving the members.

I’m sharing a genuine photo instead — we don’t need AI when the real thing exists.

This isn’t about trends or policing, just consent, respect, and care.

Arirang releases on 20 March 2026.

20 March 2026 is the first day of Spring.

🤔

I have Spring Day in my head now: The morning will come again because no darkness or no season can last forever...This winter is also coming to its end.

Concert freebie making has begun!

We are dug out and our road finally plowed. Schools are still closed. I'm enjoying the impromptu 4 day weekend...mostly (issues with new glasses = headaches). I'm also really glad I have a heated massage pad....

In hindsight, I shouldn't have shoveled yesterday. Freezing rain and sleet create an ice sheet that means I cannot clear my sidewalk without hammering thru it. I gave up & put grit down. Now to dig out one of the cars...
January 26, 2026 at 4:48 PM
Snow I can handle. It can be annoying, but doable. Sleet? Sleet sucks. Little pellets of ice are a pita to clear and shovel. The only thing worse is freezing rain, which coats everything in a layer of ice.

I've gotten all three in this storm. I'm done.
January 25, 2026 at 7:37 PM
5:30 am - we have twice as much now. Almost time to go shovel again....

Blasting BTS on my phone, shoved in my pocket, makes it survivable

Hey ARMY moots - I've friends with extra tickets for Baltimore and Tampa (long story). They're apparently 100 level seats so not cheap. But I offered to see if moots wanted them before they went back into the general pool. (Responses limited; please don't repost).
January 23, 2026 at 11:40 PM
What is sleep? My brain is spinning. I honestly didn't think I was going to get tickets. I had 5 levels of backup plans. So having tickets for BOTH days _and_ in the levels we wanted _and_ under budget is just freaking out brain.
January 23, 2026 at 12:05 PM
Today is BTS day! Look what arrived!!!!! Aaaahhhh!!!

How am I supposed to sleep?!?!
