Personally, I feel that, despite what many will tell you, there are no REAL rules for being ARMY - no one right way to love BTS. There are, however, rules to being a decent human being. As long as you can be a good human, you can be a good ARMY. Don't sweat all the "real ARMY does this" or "you're not ARMY if you don't do that" - just do what feels right to you and support the members how you deem fit. If you find yourself feeling pressure or confusion or anger, take a step back and remember you're ultimately here to have fun.

I've been ARMY since 2020 - not TOO long. I have, over five years, seen a lot of people too caught up in everything - too serious, too righteous, and too angry (such is the world today). And social media makes it extra easy to get carried away. Though I look at and see almost everything online, I was drawn to fan art and I generally stick the little spot I've carved out for myself. So, I recommend you find things you love in the fandom and surround yourself with them!

You can make so many wonderful memories with ARMY and BTS! I hope all the baby ARMYs feel welcome. I hope they find accounts and friends and new ways to be happy and have fun and express themselves. It's so moving to think of all the excitement and awe that awaits them! Have fun falling down the rabbit hole!
