Even if youβre following the trend, itβs good
Even if youβre fucking different from others, itβs good
Just you yourself is hood,
Naturally, for everyone, from the beginning, thereβs nothing right or wrong
Itβs just that everyoneβs a little different from each other

This image shows a star chart commemorating a specific momentβAugust 28, 2020, at 14:41 (UTC-04:00)βmarking the time of MBβs first Discord message. Set against a cosmic background filled with stars, the circular star chart maps out constellations from that time. Surrounding the map is a quote from BTSβs song "Mikrokosmos," which reads: βIn the pitch-black nights, we saw each other's light. We were saying the same thing. We are the starlight shining even brighter in the deepest night.β The MB logo with a planetary ring around is at the bottom left. At the top right is a heart shaped constellation. The sky chart is taken from Sky & Telescope (powered by: Heavens-Above.com).
To our MB bookworms, you all are our universe. Here's a snapshot of the sky on our first meeting. Loved spending 5 years with y'all and look forward to exploring more of the universe together. π
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MB! π₯°

This list includes the following 7 tips for ARMYs: (1) Stay hydrated! You can also keep your energy up with iced americanos! ; (2) Don't forget to eat! We recommend Jin Ramen! #notsponsored π ; (3) Sun protection is a must! Serve face just like Tae with sunburn-free skin. ; (4) Loosen up your limbs before pulling any dance moves! You don't want to celebrate FESTA with sore muscles! πΊ π« ; (5) Warm up your vocal cords before your BTS singalong (especially if you want to keep up with Jimin's high notes)! π€ ; (6) Journal your reflections and feelings! ποΈ π ; and (7) Hang out and connect with fellow ARMYs (like MB bookworms) to start FESTA off on a good note. Hanging out together is half the fun! π Scattered around the board are cute images of BTS members related to each item on the list (e.g., Jin holding up a packet of Jin Ramen). Underneath the list is a snapshot of the date and weather: Fri 6/13 with a sun symbol and a 'μλ―Έ λ§μ μ¨λ' ('ARMY's heart temperature' in Korean) of 35Β°C.
