#Army Bomb Lightstick

[ddaengju]

finally ordered myself the le sserafim lightstick 🥹

[artbymeg]

Decided my ARMY Bomb needed a new makeover for the Agust D concert next week. Wanted something more minimalist this time.

Painted my ARMY bomb past night for the concert in LA. Went pretty well except some paint got under the lip of the dome.

[ . . . ] ARMY FANDOM BREAKDOWN

while main BTS stans refer to themselves as ARMY and are often viewed to stanning all eight members, there are however several solo stans or fans who bias one member more than the others. Y/N has referred to her fans as GRLANDRITES. this comes from a combination of her stage name GRLZILLA + ALEXANDRITE, a gem that is labeled as one of the ugliest in the worlds.

NICKNAMES : uglies, little shits, gems, worms

LIGHTSTICK : ARMY BOMB

GRLANDRITES EMOJI : 🪱

OO. FAN DEMOGRAPHICS

AGE RANGE : while ARMY come in all ages, your fans are mostly in the age range of early teens to late 30s.

GENDER : when you originally debuted in 2013, bighit had it so you were geared to bring male k-pop stans into the fandoms. and up until around 2016, most of your fans were male. beginning at around 2018 you have gained a plethora of more female and nonbinary / genderqueer fans. this spike has remained constant in recent years from 2020-2022 and while you still have male fans, your female fans have outnumbered them.

REGIONS : you are most popular in east asia, north america, oceania, and europe. your largest fanbases are found in korea, america, japan, england, france, germany, australia, new zealand, and scotland.

OTHER FANDOMS THEY ARE CLOSE TO : ixluvs ( exile her ) revluvs ( red velvet ) moas ( tomorrow by together ) engene ( enhypen ) fearnot ( le sserafim ) carats ( seventeen )

OO. FAN REPUTATION

ANTISOCIAL : it’s a known fact that you are antisocial. it’s often seen during interviews and when how very rarely you are seen out when in korea. this trait is often shared with a number of your stans as many have voiced that the reason why they stan you is because of how you don’t talk much in interviews, always avoiding talking on red carpets, and how you don’t leave your home.

COMPETITIVE : this is trait shared with the rest of the ARMY fandom. GRLANDRITES are often competitive when it comes to voting for you specifically especially in the BEST FEMALE category. it’s not often you get placed into that category so when you do, your stans work harder than the devil himself to make sure you win.

OBSERVANT : your stans have became observant when BTS started becoming extremely popular. this trait is often used when they watch videos of you during interviews. some of your longer stans mostly have this trait as they can tell by your body language if someone is making you uncomfortable or not.

CREATIVE : GRLANDRITES are probably some of the most creative people you will ever meet. they have been known to create several different types of art works and projects dedicated to you. when GRLHOOD was released, one specific stan did a whole series of painting dedicated to the mixtape. you found out about this and even bought the pieces and they can still be seen hanging up in your apartment today.

HUMOROUS : your stans love making jokes. especially at your expense. they are the ones who started the “disappointed y/n look” meme back in 2018. if you do something meme worthy, they are the first ones to turn it into either a meme or sound on tiktok.

OO. FAN FAVORITES

ANTHEMS : i doll, girl in the mirror, dead man runnin’

FAVORITE ALBUMS : grlhood, wings, most beautiful moments in life pt.2, love yourself: her

FAVORITE ERAS : i need u, run, spring day, fake love, on

FAVORITE TITLE TRACKS : i need u, fake love, idol, on, run bts

FAVORITE B SIDES : borderline, egoist, dead man runnin’, pied piper, save me, left right, breathe, dracula, whalien 52

FAVORITE COVERS : come back home ( seo taiji and boys ) speechless ( aladdin ) paradise lost ( gain ) watermelon sugar ( harry styles ) talk ( khalid )

OO. FAN TRIVIA

GRLANDRITES do not get along with jungkook stans for some reason and can always been seen fighting with them on twitter

their nickname “worm” comes from when some fans asked you if you would still love them even if they were worms and you just replied with “but you guys are already worms, aren’t you?”

GRLANDRITES have a good relationship with exile her’s fandom, IXLUVS.

a notable moment for GRLANDRITES was when one of your long time stans since debut was getting married and her fiancé had invited you. you flew back to korea just to attend the wedding and even sang as a song that you had written just for the couple.

in 2017, a fan bought you a star and named it GRLZILLA. you then bought a star that looked to be right next to yours in 2019 and named it GRLANDRITE.

[chaospacemarines]

yeah sure. thanks for the tag :3

setting the vibe today by making a little cartoon guy of myself crying at taemin's comeback. i invite you all to do the same (or don't! i'm not your boss) X

[whatifyoulivelikethat]

Tae: chapter 2 is not about taking our shirts off!!

Meanwhile dazed uk: no one asked jungkook to take his shirt off, he just showed up and decided that that was what he was gonna wear...

Always jk: posts his nudes on weverse

I can't stand him🫠... I also want him to break my spine like a lightstick😫

do you mean glowstick because lightsticks are pretty strudy, ARMY bombs are no joke, they could probably take you out with one whack

also Tae took his shirt off for 'Slow Dancing' MV so what is he even talking about XD

shirts are just a suggestion for bunbun, not a requirement, I def don't require him to have one if he doesn't want one, he should wear what's comfortable so really the pants can also go, they must be so suffocating

[kth1]

So im too lazy to do a timelasp thing but

I recently got my first ARMY bomb (ik the collector in me is screaming — why not sooner?) anyways… and i really wanted to design it myself like how so many people do with their lightsticks!

I started last night on the bottom piece - and im terrible with videos so i’m just taking some progress shots!

Orange is my fav color and i’m doing white pearls rn. Idc how choppy the rhinestones look in the end, but i am having fun with this tedious choice of customizing! I really am. It’ll take me a bit but golly, i already wish i can customize more with other colors!

[incorrectk-popquotes]

Hey, guys! I am currently trying to see most of my kpop stuff on ebay (link below). Prices are negotiable, just reach out to my main @acutest-angle or on ebay directly! It is mostly albums. There is also a version 2 official Army Bomb lightstick and an unofficial Day6 concert lightstick from their first world tour.

[dimplessjoon]

I read your first fic and loved it! Could you write something where Namjoon is sick during a vlive with the maknae line and has to run offscreen to be sick, but army hears and gets worried so he posts on weverse a few hours later to tell everyone he's ok, after the boys take care of him?

Thank you for the request. Hope you like it.

**Emeto Warning**

Namjoon's POV

"Joonie hyung, Joonie hyung do you like my army bomb?" Jimin asked showing me the painting on his army bomb.

Today me, Taehyung, Jimin and Jungkook were doing a vlive together. The staff had arranged for us to make BT21 themed army bombs, and that too at home so we didn't even have to worry about going to the company. So far everything was going great. It was chaotic but when wasn't it chaotic with BTS.

"It looks great Jimin-ah" I replied giving him a soft smile.

"Hyung is just being nice Jimin. We all know mine looks the best Joonie hyung likes mine not yours." Taehyung replied jokingly.

"In your dreams hyung, mine is the most amazing one. After all I made it." Jungkook added in.

I zoned out of the conversation and tried to continue working on my own lightstick, though that was proving to be difficult. I made sure to keep a small smile on my face, using it as a disguise, hoping that the others and army would not be able to find out that something is wrong. Today my morning meeting was canceled so I could finally get some rest and catch up on sleep. So, when I woke up this morning everyone had already left for work, leaving me to figure out what I was going to eat for breakfast. Jin hyung had told me to buy something to eat but I wanted to try to cook myself, so I decided to make breakfast. I know I am bad at cooking but I could at least make breakfast without messing up, after all I am a grown man. That's what I thought. Turns out I am not capable of cooking my own food, because ever since eating breakfast my stomach has been aching. I probably messed something up and gave myself food poisoning. It was bearable for some time but it was getting worse. If my stomach does not calm down, I know I am gonna throw up and that's the last thing I want to do right now. I start paying attention to the conversation again when I hear someone calling my name.

"What?" I asked them.

"Hyung, I was asking you which one of us have the best army bomb. It's mine right? " Kookie asked giving me his big puppy dog eyes to convince me to say his.

"All of your army bombs look amazing, guys." I replied trying not to get sucked into their argument especially when it feels like someone is using my stomach as a punching bag.

They start arguing with themselves and I try and paint, hoping it would distract me from the turmoil my stomach is going through. But, it did not work because in a few minutes I stood up and went away from the camera view, took the trash can and started emptying my stomach. Thankfully, I was able to get out of the room so hopefully army couldn't hear me throwing up. I know the maknaes are professional enough to handle the situation so i am not too worried about it. As I continue to throw up I can barely breathe and my stomach is showing me no mercy. After a while, I feel people touching me and I know the kids must have ended the vlive and come out.

"It's ok hyungie, let it all out, you'll feel better in a bit." Jimin says while rubbing my back.

After a couple of more torturous minutes I am finally done, and slowly I get my breathing back to normal.

"Here" Jungkook says as he helps me drink some water after I have calmed down. The water feels like heaven to my sore throat after that awful time throwing my guts up.

"Thanks" I softly say after I finished.

"Let's get you to bed so you can get some rest." Tae says and the three of them help me up and take me to mine and Tae's bedroom. They help me lay down in bed and bring over the trash can, water and some crackers for me.

"How did you get sick hyung, you were absolutely fine when you went to sleep last night." Jungkook asked

I was embarrassed to tell them what had actually happened but I knew they would not let it go so I sighed and told them.

"I cooked breakfast this morning. I probably messed something up and got myself sick." I reply not meeting their eyes.

The three of them look at each other for a couple of seconds before bursting out in laughter.

"Oh My God Hyung." Jimin says while laughing.

"We should have expected this. God of Destruction strikes again." Taehyung said.

"Haha very funny. Laugh at my pain you three." I say, I know it's funny but they could at least wait till I am not feeling like shit to make fun of me.

"Oh hyung, you are a literal kid. IQ 148 my ass." Jungkook says.

I just glare at them. After they have calmed down a bit they give me some medicine and get into bed to cuddle with me. I sigh, as much as I was not a very touchy person, cuddling with these kids always made me feel better. Then I suddenly remembered about the vlive, and how they had suddenly ended it.

"By the way what did you guys do about the Vlive." I asked curiously. I trust them and I know they probably covered up for me, but I was still worried about the army's reaction. An idol just doesn't run away from his own vlive like that.

"After you went we just joked around and said that you must have needed to go use the bathroom urgently, but then you started throwing up and we could hear you inside so army started to get worried." Tae says

"So, we told them we are sure everything is fine and comforted them and then ended the Vlive." Jungkook adds

"God, I can't believe I messed up. I was hoping you guys couldn't hear me inside." I say. I ruined the Vlive and worried the armies. Not to mention the company would probably have to go through the trouble of handling the whole situation.

"Hyung stop. I can see the gears turning in your head." Kook says.

"You were sick and did your very best. You did absolutely nothing wrong. Okay. Now stop worrying about it. Just post an apology on weverse and explain to the army I am sure they are worried, and everything would be fine." he adds.

I guess he is right. I can't change what already happened so I nod and take my phone out and post on weverse telling army I was feeling a little sick which is why the vlive ended and apologizing to them for worrying them. After that I put my phone down and sigh. Even though I was feeling much better than before my stomach was starting to hurt again so now I just wanted to sleep before I have a round two against my body. The maknaes must have understood that cause they snuggled closer to me as I fell asleep.

BTS Army Bomb Logo Lightstick Dangle Charm Acrylic Keychain

[here4kpopfics]

Got distracted from making bracelets to pass out at the rose to try a new idea for Paljji Pals.

I don’t have a lightstick for the rose (yet) so we tried the army bomb. It fits nicely. But too small on the SKZ one.

[heybaetae]

omg, really, they're all bought? i had no idea... because when we watch the concerts it looks like literally everyone has one. so i thought that maybe there was a way to get one without buying it. but you can still watch the concert without an army bomb, right? do you think that many people go without having an army bomb too? it looks so perfect in all concerts, like there isn't anyone missing

lots of attendees don't have one and it's totally fine! they're expensive and i've never judged anyone for not having one, i don't think anyone cares if you don't. it's very understandable, especially since shipping costs from weverse are high and waiting in line to buy one at a show can take hours. it's just one less thing to carry or hold during the show and juggling that lightstick with your phone or whatever else can get kinda hard sometimes lol

[jinstronaut]

Hi! Love your blog btw. I was wondering if you're carrying your ARMY bomb lightstick to the Suga concert? I dunno if I should bring mine or not. I'm going to the NJ one at the Prudential Center Saturday! Hope you have an awesome time at your concert seeing Yoongi!!!! <333333

hi lovely!!!! thank u for being so sweet first of all 🥺🥰 i am indeed bringing my light stick! they are also selling light sticks at the venue as well as batteries!!! i hope you have so so much fun!!!! 🥹💖✨

[roo-bastmoon]

Hey there! I just discovered you on tumblr and love all your posts!!! I’m new ARMY - maybe about 8 months ago I discovered them (I’m 50 this year so kind of out of the loop sometimes 😂). So of course I fell in love with their music and them. What an incredible group of young men! They are SO talented and humble 💜. Very refreshing. I ended up going down the rabbit hole to learn about them and what stood out to me right away (like instantly!!!!) was the bond between Jimin and Jungkook. Not surprising I’m sure. Definitely boyfriend vibes 100%. Of course I learned all about shipping and the different ships (makes my head spin sometimes). I support Jikook as a couple, just what my heart tells me. My question is why does Jungkook get shipped with just about every K-pop idol out there? Especially with Tae and Lisa? My understanding was Tae actually told an army on a live to get out of their imagination about taekook, but it still continues. And the Lisa thing I just don’t get. Would love to get your opinion!

Hello there, dgtn!

It is so nice to meet you. Welcome to ARMY, and the Jikooker fan community. *hugs*

I got here myself about 12 months ago, so please don't consider me an expert. But I've learned a lot thanks to some great older-ARMY blogs here. And I'm 43 years old myself, so, huzzah for us "dope old people."

To answer your questions:

In addition to being rich and famous, Jeon Jungkook is young, fit, smart, multi-talented, humble, fashion-forward, artistic, empathetic, hilarious, and hot. So he gets shipped with everyone and everything. I bet if we went searching, we'd find fic shipping him with a Bangtan bomb lightstick.

I think people ship him with Lisa of BlackPink because she's also the maknae, also the center, and also rich, famous, and attractive. I'm just guessing. I'm not into BP. Nothing against them, just not my cuppa. I have learned their names and heard their latest song and that is the extent of my knowledge. I've never heard of JK and Lisa hanging out, but, all you need to do is breathe in the same room for the K-Pop industry to generate dating buzz.

As for people who ship Taekook... that is a minefield of a question, my dear. I will answer you as honestly as possible. But let's just hope it doesn't explode in my face. :-)

On the surface, many casual fans (I won't call them ARMY--they don't follow the other members, they can't name many BTS songs, they aren't out here streaming or voting or purchasing things) really enjoy what's called "the visuals"--meaning, the people on the team specifically selected to be eye candy.

Kim Taehyung is your classical standard of Asian beauty and his good looks were indeed one of the reasons he got on the team. (He went to support a friend at his audition and ended up taking his place! Then his announcement on the team was held off for quite a while to build anticipation.) I must say he's also talented, and all BTS members are attractive and talented. But Tae is considered Super Hot. So, on the very surface level, casual fans like to ship JK with Tae because they find them both to be the most visually appealing, and it fulfills their fantasy.

Speaking of fantasy... on WeVerse, a fan said she couldn't fall asleep, so she would think about JK, whom Tae loved the most. Tae told her to get out of her imagination, as it wasn't good there. Most of the fandom agrees he meant for her to stop deluding herself about Taekook. Vminners think it means he loves Jimin the most. Taekookers interpret him to have been telling the fan to stop fantasizing about his man. I guess it's open to interpretation, because the very next day, a fan asked Tae where JK was, and he responded that JK was sleeping right beside him.

Statements like that tend to fuel fantasy. As does a lot of the skinship between the two. Now, look, no lie--all of BTS does skinship and it's very natural and very affectionate. Kim Taehyung is just about the most tactile person I've ever seen. He will cuddle, kiss, massage, stroke, slap, glomp onto, and hug all his members at any given time. There are some moments where he does things like rub JK's thigh or run his fingers through JK's hair. That could easily be interpreted as sexual attraction, and many people (the majority of ARMY shippers) do see it that way. They just happen to ignore when he also does it to Jin or Hobi or Jimin.

Getting beyond just the surface level, Tae and JK were very, very close when they were young, even before debut. They have a sincere emotional bond. Tae helped JK get out of shell (he was so introverted he used to cry when asked to sing for others). They had a very Tom and Jerry sort of dynamic. They enjoy games and pranks and each other's company and always have, even when they mentioned having an awkward period, when JK didn't want to stop using honorifics toward Tae. He often drops them now, 10 years later. So some people like to ship Taekook because they like a "friends to lovers" narrative.

The worst sort of Taekook shippers have become enamored with the "star-crossed lovers" narrative. These guys are full-on delulu and put more stock in conspiracy theories than any facts you could show them. They absolutely refuse to trust the company or official content, they find Signs and Wonders everywhere, and they insist that Taekook were separated constantly because PD Bang favored Jimin and wanted to promote Jikook as the official BTS ship.

Never mind how crazy it is to hide a real gay couple with a fake gay couple... that line of thinking means all the boys were liars, and kept lying, for a decade. It means Jimin is a horrible friend and JK is an abusive boyfriend, and Tae a perpetual victim. The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach.

Those kinds of toxic shippers call Jimin fat, spam his lives with hate comments, send protest trucks to Hybe, put death threats out on WeVerse, sabotage subunits like Who with Lauv, and go around harassing the shit out of everyone connected with the maknae line. I am literally working with my therapist to figure out ways to evict assholes like them from my mental real estate, because as much as I hate them, they aren't going to change for the better any time soon. Even if mountains of evidence comes out that half their ship is dating someone else, they will just double down on the PRIVET BUT SEKRET conspiracy nonsense.

Especially since solo era, when evidence of Tae and JK hanging out as friends (like bowling with other friends) is not enough... now we have to get into super odd conspiracies about ski lodges based on a photo of shoes, or beach walks based on a photo of sandal prints in the sand, or spa trips together because JK left an autograph at one but Tae didn't, just like with the 7 tattoos at Poly-C's shop. Or because Tae and JK filmed their BTS RUN choreo challenge at a famous expensive hotel villa that belongs to a friend of Tae's... clearly it's got to mean they slept there together too. "Expensive Couple!" they shout from their twitter handles.

It's all so asinine. But hey, let people think whatever they want. I'm not out to tell them who to ship. If Taekook makes you happy, embrace your joy. Just please don't make up things and repeat them as fact. As long as you don't cause harm, suit yourself, you know?

But it often does cause harm. It's sad to me that shipping Tae and JK together almost always goes hand-in-hand with shitting all over Jimin as the other woman, the clingy clout chaser, the insecure user, the bad friend. When CLEARLY JK and Tae both ADORE Jimin to bits (as they should). And Jimin consistently shows up for them, time and again, over the years. He loves them both so much.

Often Taekook shippers have to villanize Jimin because it's so very, very obvious that JK has real chemistry with him, and that's a threat.

For me--based on all I've seen, and I've made sure to take in plenty of Taekook content too so I'm not prejudicing myself--Taekook would be a nice and solid K-Pop ship... IF Jimin never existed. Once you see JK and Jimin together, I just don't know how you can say it's Taekook, I'm sorry.

After a decade of the looks, the tones, the touches, the TMIs, the tats, the clothes, the time together, the integration of families, the grand gestures, and the vibes, you still think Jikook are Business Gay, you crazy.

I guess I could see the argument that they are just friends now. They have shared so much less of their lives with us since Jimin's insurance premiums / apartment seizure "scandal" was deliberately made public precisely on the same day his OST dropped. There were some other bullshit scandals over the years, like the Paris pub forehead-flicking game or the beach photos dating rumors thing... but this latest one, where someone on the inside tampered with his mail and doxxed his address and social ID number?

Jimin was done, and Jikook went to ground. Neither have come to us in any way that reveals their private lives in months. So if folks are doubting Jikook right now, I guess I don't blame them.

But how anyone can look at that birthday thirst trap and think JK is dating some other guy? Beyond me. I just don't know.

Sorry, I'm rambling.

To answer your question: Tae is handsome, kind, funny, and very affectionate with his members. People who like Tae and who like JK often ship them together. And all that is fine and dandy. Right up until they start hurting Jimin or the other people in Tae and JK's lives.

Because whatever you ship (or if you don't ship at all), it's undeniable that VMinKook love each more than we will ever know. And BTS as 7 should be everyone's priority anyway.

Anyway: welcome, new friend!

Yours,

Roo
