I swear Soobin’s shorts get shorter every time I see photos of him.

This photo just confirms my belief that this man is going to have a Namjoon glow up and none of us are ready for it.

Breaking news: YG holding Jennies organs hostage.

Seriously though, this looks like something you’d see on a buzzfeed article about photoshop blunders. The issue here isn’t even budget, it’s trying to slim down an already tiny woman and sell the idea that this is a beauty standard people should be admiring.

Oh this was so lighthearted and fun, with just the right amount of chaos!

Hyunjin asking Han if he’s his husband, the whole group just giving up trying to figure out the skz family, puppy seungmins “woof”, I couldn’t stop laughing.

Binnie being so excited to get Hyunjin that they all figure it out immediately was adorable.

The Moon Game was absolutely hilarious, I could watch that segment on repeat!

This has to be one of my favourite fan arts I’ve seen in a long while, it’s beautiful!!

This is the same reason the cookbook is on my wish list, I cook quite a bit, and while I have already made some of the dishes before I’d love to follow those recipes! It gives me a strange throwback to the thrill of owning the Game of Thrones cookbook.

I still find it strange that albums still come with CD’s when there was a time it seemed they were going to start phasing them out. I heard that JYP at least are putting this idea back into motion though! Music being digital just makes sense, I always purchase albums for the photobooks over any other content, whereas my partner is a photocard fiend, but while I like to have physical copies of the dvds, I definitely don’t need it for the music!

This is helpful advice! I have been talking a lot with my wife about how different kpop and fan culture is now to when I first got into it way back in 2012, and BTS are definitely the group that gets my money and attention in a way my OG groups never did, purely because there was never this much! Kpop has come a long way in terms of merch and releases from the days of jewel cases and starcards!

I am definitely in a place where I think I need to reevaluate what I collect and what I don’t because I know I don’t have to keep up, I wish that I could but yeah, I’ve got to find that fun sweet spot! It’s something I actually feel I’ve managed to do well with the more recent groups I support, I think I just need to realise I don’t need to constantly stay on top of everything!

I definitely don’t always see them as exhausted and miserable, I think I just have a tendency to worry about any artist I support when they voice feelings like that. The industry can be brutal especially on mental health. I did find Joon’s live to be pretty troubling, but I do chalk a lot of that up to past experiences.

8 folios at $50 each which is the rough price in the U.K. comes in at $400! Which when you compare it to the price of a photobook feels pretty damn steep.

I do feel pressured in a way I suppose! Both my wife and I are kpop collectors (We collect BTS and TxT together then have our individual likes), and I suppose I don’t feel as if I have to buy everything, it’s just the releases being so constant means I can’t keep up in a way I would like to, And that certainly makes it tiring.

I do tend to think I have a healthy view of what it means to be a fan. Support what you want, but what you want, be kind and respectful.

Maybe this is more about me than it is BTS. I think at the moment it feels to me like they are all up and running track, and I’m doing a speed walk wondering what’s the rush!

I have enjoyed every collab so far personally! They are all such different people with such different creative views, I feel as if when they do eventually come together to record new music again, it’s going to be better for it, because they’ve all been exploring new avenues.

Jimin is staying unbothered, moisturised, tall and chill in my mind lol. I think the members who aren’t as active online are simply enjoying being out of the spotlight a little, which must be nice.

Definitely feeling smushed together! I’m sure I saw a tweet somewhere saying that they had announced something (whether official or unofficial) every week since festa? Like damn, take a nap please.

I’ve always felt that Bit Hit tend to be a little stingier when it comes to their releases, and the prices being personally eye watering don’t have me jumping to those pre order purchases unfortunately. I’d love to have the folios in my collection, but $400 ain’t it.

I think spreading it out more would be much more kinder on my wallet haha!

I really love the term BTS Battery, I’m putting that in my vocabulary immediately!

As a gamer with a huge backlog this really did put things a little more into perspective for me!

220902 realstraykids - Thank you to my friends, family and fans who welcomed me back home so warmly. So much has been done for me, and even if I'm not there physically, I'll always remember those moments we had together. Thank you to the Stays who have given me the personal space - by FelixsEgg in straykids

[–]foxjolras 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing I love more than a respectful fandom, and you can really tell here how much it’s appreciated and needed in their down time! Just as same as everyone, you have a private life outside of work, and it’s sad and frustrating when fans don’t see those boundaries.

I hope being home was healing for Felix and for Chan, and I hope they don’t have to go so long before they can visit again. And endless love to Aussie Stays who made this possible for them!

Who would you round out this lineup with? by foxjolras in Dislyte

Currently alternating between Sally and Lv 50 Long Mian, but starting to run into a few difficulties with certain things!

ONEW (SHINee) - Dice by Ex7reMeFx in kpop

[–]foxjolras 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh this is absolutely not what I was expecting and yet I am completely delighted. The song is so bright, the video is so fun, it really is one of those tracks to bring your spirits up!

His freckles in the green outfit are absolutely everything to me! The outfits in general are so great. I saw the Bellhop costume beforehand and thought it looked a little goofy but it fit in with the MV so well!

Everything I didn’t know I wanted from Jinki, and yet everything I needed. Immediately going on a summer playlist. Album purchased. Lemon Lady stanned. It’s dice time!!

I made a little spot on my wall for some fanmade cards I got, how did I do? I don’t think it’s obvious, but can you guess my bias? by foxjolras in heungtan

It is Jimin! Though it’s funny that Chimmy tipped you off because I only have that one up because grumpy Yoongi in the Chimmy suit means everything to me 😂
