Today in "Bangtan on my mind": fact-checking an article led to looking over a paper that kept referencing "Jeong & Kook".

(And now I'm so curious what the hangul is for this "Kook"...)

FAMILYYYY 💜💜💜

My mind is blanking out right now. SOMEBODY HOLD ME.

*Aphrodisiacs

(Dammit, autocorrect, you gave me "gluten" for "glut" and "reconnaissance" for "dubcon: but couldn't correct that one for me?)

Honestly that's part of my problem with the Ωverse glut! I like me some naughty dubcon and while heat/rut is fun, it's crowding out the other options. Where is my sex pollen? Magic aphrodisacs? Aliens make them do it??! 😆

Pack tropes, yes... I've wondered if the "one step perpendicular from reality" nature of Ωverse is part of the draw too? Fans who might feel awkward about "canon" RPF but still want to be writing BTS as superstars rather than complete AUs can have their idol cake and eat it too.

Yeah, I think it's very cool fandom collectively developed such a unique genre, but it's been a while, it's going mainstream, let's create something new!
(Do all fandoms look like Bangtan or are we particularly omegeverse-heavy, I've wondered?)

This.*

*for the currently marketed meaning of "AI," not the full breadth of the actual technology. And yes I am bitter at how successfully those have been conflated.

Going both nights to Run Seokjin was 100% worth it! And we all did much better at the karaoke on Night 2! 😂

The greatest rhyme ever composed in the English language:

You might end up like Oedipus
I'd rather marry a duckbilled platypus!

And the fangirl anthem:

Give me smut and nothing but!
A dirty novel I can't shut
I like it more if it's uncut
And unsubt...le.

A man after my own editor's heart!

Yessss! Phenomenal song but so glad they're taking it as a warning and not a credo

I am genuinely SO proud of them for the days off! And not just for them but it's being good role models both to other artists and other Koreans. But also yes good for them, good for their art, and their teamwork!

Maybe it wasn't a coincidence that he seemed so lost when they were on hiatus, because without the fun and support of working with them, he could only think of the obligations and pressures and not the upsides?

I didn't seriously think he would leave because I don't think he would do that to the others. But I worried about him staying only out of obligation. But yeah, seeing him now...

What's getting me is that from everything we're hearing, they're spending all day holed up together music-writing, and then in the evenings and days off, they're having dinner and going shopping and to weddings together...

So...she hasn't actually watched KPDH yet...but has watched JK's live watching KPDH 😂

And the rest is entirely justified RPWP fangirling (💯 everything she says!)

Everyone laughing together hopelessly! 😂

Here’s the observed PTD On Stage Live album tracklist, based on details shared by @/unotaehyung on X, with a few corrections made on some tracks.

Did we miss anything, Borasky? Anything you’re hoping made the final cut? 💜

It's 8.3M now!

(Tbh I really don't care that much about their numbers but this is so funny to me, they break SM still!)

JK's mnijungkook IG account showing 8.2M followers on 7/18/2025

No but I genuinely want to know, what is the highest # of subscribers for an account with zero posts and no profile? 😂

And of course 보고 싶다 but ONLY shouted at the top of lungs while sobbing!

Jungkook's new IG account mnijungkook showing 1M followers at 12:13 am PST. It was created at around 10:40 pm so it's been like a WHOLE HOUR AND A HALF!

It took OVER an HOUR for JK's spontaneous tech support IG account with no pfp or profile to reach 1 million followers! They're slipping! 😂

(How long before he deletes this one??)

It's actually only midnight here! (... my normal bedtime is rather aligned with theirs, really 😅)

I love them so damn much 😭😭😭

I'm going to call it: Namjoon is officially maknae line

I'm pretty sure we're all collectively hallucinating.
Probably due to sleep deprivation 🙃

Truly the masters of social media, coming on flawlessly made up with perfectly tuned lighting and of course all technical issues carefully tested beforehand!

NJ, JK, and Tae on one side of the screen laughing and Jimin on the other in one of the most chaotic lives they've done yet!

So chapter 2 of Bangtan is PURE CHAOS

these dorks are way too easily amused!

It's official ARMY will never sleep again?!?

😊💜
