#love and support bts

[always-is-always]

When the details are needed~

Sometimes peeps will ask me for details or historical context, after reading a post I’ve written.  When it is possible I’ll direct to original content, and I’ll also refer to cultural traditions, when it is necessary to help clarify.  

There are bloggers here on Tumblr who have a DEPTH of knowledge, spanning far more years than I have been ARMY.  Some of them put a lot of time and effort into crafting posts that are deep in detail, and very informative.  That, I am grateful for, as it has helped me with my own navigation through sources of information about BTS and the individual members that are complicated, messy, sometimes convoluted, and sometimes outright wrong.  

I came here originally looking for a known Blogger who is fluent in both Korean and English, who also is known for clarifying translations, and also who helps to explain the cultural context connected to things that the members say.  After setting up my own account I eventually started looking at the #kookmin and #jikook hashtags, as I had no idea how this platform worked.  

Luckily, there were Bloggers who I started to see who were the very ones I mentioned above, who were in integrity with their words.  Integrity is everything, to me.  After watching so much content on YouTube and seeing the ways that a lot of people manipulated imagry, video clips, translations and such to fit their narrative, I found these Bloggers to be a breath of fresh air.  

It felt important to share this as I do post things that I have written, without a ton of references or details, at times.  Sometimes, it’s my heart speaking, sometimes it is my intuition, and sometimes it’s my desire to share in the moment with the community here.  Always, it is with the best intention.  

When I first became aware of BTS I knew NOTHING of ships, bias, solos, ot7, or what all that entails.  I’m an American, and I had never experienced anything like that prior to BTS, and had no understanding of it at all.  I still don’t really get it, but at least I kinda know what it means.  What I do know is that I don’t label myself in any way, at all.  Just so that’s clear.  

Most of my words and opinions of what we see are coming from my life experience, what I understand of the history of BTS, original content, reading certain blogs, and interpreting everything with as little filtering as possible.  I hope that made sense...  

The other factor for me is that as an intuitive and empath, I just know things.  Sometimes, I’ll know it before it’s proven outwardly.  That’s what intuition does, for me.  I just know stuff.  lol...  Sometimes I’ll speak of it, but much of the time I don’t.  Especially when it isn’t my place to do so and it could be an overstepping of a boundary as a Soul.  That takes “when you know, you know” to another level at times. 

The reason I’m sharing here is that I wanted to make it as clear as I can, that there are a LOT of Bloggers here who are really well informed and are fantastic sources.  I’m happy to share what I feel are blogs that are really good ones to follow...  just send a DM, and I can happily share.  

Thank you all for being a part of this community here.  I really appreciate sharing the love and support, for the guys.  It brings joy into my life, for sure!  💜

I am reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your help. Could you please reblog my post on your account to help save my family? and donate if you can. I am new to Tumblr, and I am in desperate need of your support 💔🥺🍉

Of course. Praying that your account can get more response and that those who see what you have suffered are willing to help you out with the support you deserve. I'm so sorry for what you are going through.

Khaled reaches out to me with hopes of getting more help. He has only collected 1,903 CAD out of $20,000 CAD. If you see this, and feel like you want to be more involved in helping Palestinians, this a great place to show your solidarity. These families need assistance and if you have the ability to show support to their campaigns, PLEASE do.

Khaled is a teacher and only 30 years old. His story does not end here, and neither should his family. We can help. Even if you don't have the money, please repost this.

"I say this over and over again, but art ultimately comes from life. I believe I can create something awesome only by continuing to put living and playing at the forefront. I don’t want to pursue music for music’s sake, art for art’s sake, etc. Life always comes first, and that creates the balance needed to work fruitfully. I always think of myself as standing on a balance beam, and try to enjoy it as much as I can. Creating is like punishment. But I try to endure it with pleasure, counting myself lucky to have a creative job."

seeing yoongi have this constant internal argument with himself about why he does music, why he’s such a workaholic, why it’s so hard for him to take breaks or give it up entirely even when it’s making him frustrated and sad and angry; and then to see him meet and talk and work with musicians at all levels from pop stars like halsey to pioneers and titans of the industry like ryuichi sakamoto (r.i.p.), to see the stars light up in his eyes when he gets to talk about music with people who understand it and him and how he feels about it, to see him gain some sense of relief after realizing that oh, making music does still bring him happiness even if there are caveats attached to that happiness like work deadlines and all the bullshit that comes along w the capitalistic industry. there’s something so comforting about seeing these sides to him and his art, it’s so heartening to see that even if you have a born passion, a fire within you for a type of work, it can still make you scream and cry and rage, and that doesn’t lessen your love for it. it doesn’t take away from your artistry, it doesn’t take away from your value and impact as an artist. that even if you feel like you’ve run out of dreams or hit a roadblock or simply don’t know what’s next, you can always find your way back to happiness and connection one way or another. idk i’m so fucking grateful to yoongi for this documentary and the album, it really does feel like he always knows exactly what i need to hear at any given time
