pls read/share!

hey guys! so this may be the hardest thing i’ve ever had to convince myself to do...and it’s really heartbreaking but i am in a not so good financial situation right now (always) and i’m finally starting a school program + my car is going to break down any moment so i needed to make some very tough grown-up decisions and well, i have some items to sell. as much as i hate to part with items that i have considered precious, that have brought me immense joy, i have to make some sacrifices to get myself back on track.

BAP - the Rose + folded group poster + yongguk mini poster card + jong up photocard - excellent condition $15

BAP Noir limited edition Daehyun vers. + yongguk card + daehyun mini poster card - excellent condition $75 (this is a limited edition and i literally could not find one priced under $90 even if used which is why it’s priced so high. best offer or if you find ones listed for more normal prices i will honor that once i have confirmed it’s the same vers/album and it’s legit)

Got7 Flight Log Departure + group photocard + markbam “boarding pass” - good condition $15

Got7 turbulence + bambam photocard + group vers. photobook + stickers (one missing) - good condition $15

BTS posters - YNWA right vers. official rolled poster + Her L vers. official rolled poster + Her E vers. previously folded poster in not so great condition w a little rip (freebie basically) - $5 (I’m selling this as one thing since i only have one poster tube)

All albums have photobooks even if not specified. Basically all of these i’ve looked through once or twice and then left on a shelf so all the photobooks are in very nice condition and hardly used. i am not selling photocards/photobook separately from albums. if you only want a specific item from the album you still have to pay full price lol

if you are interested you can shoot me a DM (or an ask and then i’ll DM you) and i can send more pictures of the insides of albums, the disks, photocards, photobooks, closer photos of the outside of the album etc.!! basically if you have any questions/want more photos of specific items or want to buy please send me a DM. i will also take best offers however you’ll probably be last in line and waiting a while until i decide whether or not to take you up on the price, but you are free to shoot your best shot

i’m going to accept payments via paypal (which we can discuss in DM) and i ask that payment be made before i send the albums out since i will need to cover shipping! i’m not quite sure how shipping overseas works but as of right now i will accept that (i’ll get more info from the post office and give an update if anything changes)

this is very long and i apologize but even if you aren’t interested if you could spread around that would be fantastic!! again, if you have any questions pls don’t hesitate to send me an ask or a DM. 

thank you!!

FAQ

NOTE: This was supposed to be a YouTube Description but it didn’t fit XD

Hello everyone!

First of all, thank you so much for the sudden burst in views and comments!!

Ahh you’re all so amazing TT I love ARMY TT

I did spend some time reading all the comments but I’ve come across same questions so I thought it’d be better if I answer them all in one.

Most of the comments are so positive and THANK YOU SO MUCH. :D

So here are some of the most frequently asked questions:

1. For the BTS-themed Mini Scrapbook

Did I make this BTS-themed Mini Scrapbook?

Yes. Most of them! Some of the little photo cards and other stuff are freebies from ordering or other people giving them to me by mail or in person (such as at the concert! :D)

Some of them I recycled from packagings when I buy merch or like magazine cut-outs XD

Why? Why would you waste your time on someone else’s life?

Because I wanted to. :D

How long did it take for me to make this?

I didn’t do it all in one sitting, that’s for sure XD

I was on and off about it, so it took quite a while. I only made the little things when I had inspiration to do so or whenever I find a good tutorial!

If you’re asking when I started and when I finished, it was about 3 months.

Each member page took about 3 hours to make but again, the ideas did NOT come in one time XD

Will I ever make a DIY for this scrapbook?

Most likely not XD Just because of how long it took. I’m actually in grad school right now, so I barely have time making this video XD

But if you look at the description on the BTS-themed Mini Scrapbook video, there is a link on an ARMY Amino blog where I listed most of the tutorials I used. They’re mostly from Srushti Patil’s tutorials or other people’s tutorials and they’re really great and easy to follow!

How did I make the mini-scrapbook?

I mostly used all of those little tutorials I linked on the ARA blog. And then just glued them all to the pages of the book XD

What binder did I use?

I used a Mini binder (A5 size) that I found from Office Depot… or was it Staples…? They sell them at different places XD It’s a 3-in. mini binder.

Where did you get the photocards and other stuff on the scrapbook?

Some of them I made, some of them I printed out myself on photo paper I got from Best Buy, and some of them, I got from when I went to the Anaheim Wings Tour Concert!! If you were there and you gave me these photo cards or drawings or other things, I LOVE YOU. :D Well, I love you all anyways XD

Will I ever sell these?

Most likely not TT I wouldn’t have the time to make them ☹ But I encourage you guys to make them! And make them more personalized! These are mostly like my favorite pictures of BTS and some memories I had about them (like the concert!)

You don’t have to finish in one sitting either. It’s a scrapbook! So maybe make one page today and add on the next day, and before you know it, you’re binder is too full to add more stuff (like what happened with me TT)

Like, if today, you’re feeling SOPE, make one page for SOPE! XD

How did you make the cassette tapes?

Those are just honestly print-outs. They’re not 3D or anything XD (they’re not real cassette tapes lol)

I have the printouts at this link: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/7omwfze7lwgq1/Cassette_Tapes

You guys can print them out if you want!

How do you make the little Suga book or Suga polaroids?

Some of the stuff in the scrapbook, I don’t have a link to a tutorial and this is because… it’s just common sense XD

The book, I just literally glued paper together to make a little notebook and then glued printed pictures of Suga in it XD

For the little Suga 3D box, I also linked a tutorial on the ARA blog! Or you can search 3D box on Srushti Patil’s channel!

2. Material Related Questions

What types of paper do I use to print things out?

I usually use cardstock paper or 8x11in. Epson photo paper! For thicker ones like photo cards, I use 4x6in. Epson photo papers.

Can you show the materials you used?

I’M SO SORRY I HAVEN’T BEEN SHOWING THE MATERIALS.

It’s coz Ive been making the videos specifically for ARMY Amino… so for the materials, I just type them out on the blog itself TT

I’ll start doing that though!

What kinds of glue can I use?

You can honestly use any type of glue you want XD

Paste or tacky glue or, what I use, Elmer’s Glue XD The safe one for kids XD

Can I do a bigger or smaller size for the neverending card? And can I do more than 4 photos?

I’m not entirely sure if you can do more than 4 photos but there is another one called infinity cube where you can definitely do more photos (just that one is 3D XD )

And yes of course! You can always change the measurement on anything you want. For this one, I think a square is easier because then you’d know where to put the glue and stuff.

But of course! You can do 8x8in, 16x16in, 72x72in, if you have that kind of paper XD

Those who are not able to follow my own tutorial, you can go to Srushti Patil’s channel and search her tutorial for neverending cards! She’s amazing, I honestly learned most of these from her XD

Can’t open the download link for templates?

Aww ☹ I’m honestly not sure because it opens perfectly on mine?

I know for ARA, people have been trying to open it on the ARA browser so I always tell them to open it on Google Chrome or Safari and if that doesn’t work, try opening them on a desktop computer?

Most of them are PDF on Mediafire so yeah, just try opening them on a desktop computer first :D

3. Others!

Chibi Jimin Papercraft – do you have other members’ templates?

Yes I do!

http://aminoapps.com/page/btsarmy/3632301/chibi-bts-ynwa-papercrafts-complete

Other print-outs?

Some people were asking for like the class schedule or the planners from the BTS-themed Binder, and yes I do have them! I don’t have videos for them because I just made them into a blog on ARMY Amino, but I have those print outs here!

http://aminoapps.com/page/btsarmy/5827890/diy-bts-themed-planner

And calendars!

http://aminoapps.com/page/btsarmy/1804893/october-december-2017-calendars-for-bts-themed-planners

And here are other DIYs. Some of them I never made videos for XD

http://aminoapps.com/page/btsarmy/8605306/diy-papercrafts

Where do I order my merch?

Usually for the official albums or other official goods, I order them at kpoptown.com. I started ordering from there last year and I had pretty good experience! The shipping is a little bit more expensive but I’m pretty satisfied with it :D

What did you use for background music?

I credit them at the end! When the credits scroll XD

They’re mostly BTS songs anyways, so you all probably know them already XD

Who is my bias?

I honestly don’t have one XD

I started with J-hope, then Jimin snatched me, then Jungkook stole my heart, and now Suga is bias-wrecking me so honestly, I don’t even know.

Do I have Instagram?

I do not! I might make one? But I do have twitter for the memes XD (@jellobunbunchild)

Do I have ARMY Amino?

Of course I do XD It’s Jellybunny (with a bunny and star emoji) :D

That’s how this channel started lmao

http://aminoapps.com/page/btsarmy/4888020/jellybunny

And that’s pretty much it!

I hope I answered some questions at least XD

Again, thank you guys so much for all the nice comments. Some of you really left some really kind and sweet messages and be assured that I read them all! :D

Thank you again so much!!!! :D

(And omg, thank you for 8k subscribers TT)

[earl-the-dwarf]

A year with BTS

WOW IT’S BEEN A YEAR GUYS I will be in church camp on the day I found the boys so I am writing this in advance. (no cell service)

A year wow.. it seems so short. If you told me a year and 2 months ago that I would be head over heels with not only one but 3 K-Pop groups i would have laughed and said “what even is K-Pop.” Yes i knew what K-pop was but i wasn’t actually into it. PSY was a kpop star but i didn’t really listen to him that much.

I came in on the tail end of HYYH after being introduced in December of 2015 to the boys. I watched a Teens react to K-Pop on TheFineBros youtube b/c all of my animes were over and SNK wasn’t updating anytime soon and was jut browsing. My first BTS MV was Dope. I was snatched quickly by Jungkook and Namjoon as they were the first two that really stood out to me and their names were easier to learn. It took me a month to learn all the members names. I went on from there to watch Fire. Now, i watched all the MV’s for about 3 weeks before i looked up any other songs. One day I was watching boy in luv and in my recommended videos was this song called Silver Spoon Dance Practice Eng subs, I was like what the heck might as well watch. Little did i know at the time that it would be my first favorite song and be my deciding point on who I biased.

Their music was something i never listened to. I didn’t like rap, hip-hop was a joke to me but BTS changed my view. I can actually listen to american hip-hop and rap now with less distaste. I listened to RM’s Mixtape and i liked it which shocked me because I never ever liked rap. It was different from what i was used to, more real. So namjoon became my bias. Hobi likes to try to wreck me but nah. I came to this group 2 months before yoongi released Agust D. Thank you sir because I cannot write my own birth month now. I biased namjoon, but the rap line, i decided, was my line. I add in Jin and just make my focus the hyung line but i love them all the same.

I told my best friend all about BTS during the fall term, as she wasnt a fan at the time. I fangirled constantly over the boys and sent her many pictures of namjoon and freaked out b/c i was head over heels for his k-pop group. I fought and fought to make her an army, with Lexi’s help, and the night WINGS released she was converted over skype.  WINGS as been the only K-pop album i have physically. Everything else is digital. WINGS was art. All the members did such a good job and their voices are amazing. Later on we met Anna through mutual followings and now we have a group chat together. Honestly if it wasn't for kpop I am not sure Anna and I would have ever talked to each other and I am glad that we did. (Sometimes...) I have 3 really good friends and I love them to death. Hey are supportive and nice and we all can freak out about BTS together, we are thirsty. 😂

so back to he boys.... From that night I have seen successes that amazed me. They broke their own records in no time flat and won so many awards. I was proud. I was amazed at the fanbase. I had only been in in the fan base for under 5 months and i felt that I had been with them from the start. BTS is so so so connected with us ARMY’s and i love that. Namjoon tries so hard to connect with us english fans and I love him for that. I want to learn korean for them. For their music. For an understanding. They do so much for us i want to do something for them. 

Then we had YNWA. I didn’t buy the full album just the new songs. I never would have believed that this little K-pop group from a little company would ever grow this big, this global. The WINGS tour sold out pretty much immediately in America and wow. BBMA’s. I was so PROUD. My boys. On an AMERICAN AWARD SHOW. BEATING AMERICAN ARTIST. SLAYING WITH THEIR LOOKS. BEING THEM. I voted everyday for them without missing a day. I had to. I felt that was the least I could do as a fan. I wanted them to win and win they did. I screamed so loud when they won that my mother got pissed at me. (i was watching it on my phone in the car on the way home from church) I was in such shock that i didnt cry at first. After i got home and sat for a while i just cried. I’ve never been this invested in a group before. I’ve never felt emotions like this. What makes this group so different i asked myself and this is my answer.

BTS is an idol group. Yes that is a given BUT unlike most artist they are not just for the fame and money, BTS connects with us. They are genuine with us. I will probably never get to go to a fansign but seeing the videos i can only imagine how nice they are. We know more about these boys than most artist we are fans of and that is just from them answering our questions and talking with us. Their music is about things that we face. That anyone could face and they tell a story. It’s not just mindless words. Why did i cry my eyes out with Agust D’s ‘The Last’, Namjoon’s ‘Voice’, ‘Reflection’, and ‘Always’, Tae and Namjoon’s ‘4 O'clock’, Jungkook’s ‘Begin’, Jin’s ‘Awake’, I connected and felt the words, they related to me. I can't think of a American song that the words made me cry. I know everyone probably has the same story but this is what makes BTS, BTS. No matter the language their music is global. I couldnt pick another group to stan if i wanted to. I listen to others but BTS has a very special place in my heart.

I cannot wait to see what else they have in store for us and I really cannot wait for J-hope’s Mixtape.

So to 2017 and years to come. Fighting! BTS forever!

[Mini-Album]  BTS - Love Yourself 承 'Her'

Release Date: September 18, 2017

Title Track: DNA 

Knowledge of the Group: 9/10; the only thing I haven’t caught up to was any pre-BST BTS/ARMY inside jokes. I also would like to thank each and every one of them for making my life miserable! 

TRACKS:

1. INTRO: Serendipity - I heard this back when the comeback trailer dropped, and instantly fell in love with it. Now listening to it once more (without Park Jimin’s distracting visuals), I am still in love with it. Jimin utilizes his vocal abilities in all the right ways, and I’m happy to see him begin the album.

2. DNA - Words cannot express how much I love this song. The whole song is catchy; the lyrics, the beats, ALL OF IT.

3. Best of Me - Now I wasn’t too sure what to expect once I heard The Chainsmokers took part in making this track, but it’s pretty good! It’s one of those tracks where it might take some time to grow on you, but it’s pretty nice to me.

4. Dimple - I love the sound of this song, and I feel like the vocals are extra good. Damn you Bangtan.

5. Pied Piper - This is gold. All the elements are amazing, and the vocals (for the majority) sounding soft and airy made me fall in love.

6. Skit: Billboard Music Awards Speech - Just hearing this again brought tears to my eyes along with the hugest grin. I know many people don’t see Western recognition like this as a big deal, but this was a really proud moment, and I love seeing it be a part of this album.

7. MIC Drop - I GOT HYPE BEFORE THE WORDS EVEN STARTED. You know when a song has that type of sound that you just know it’s gonna be amazing? This is a perfect example.

8. Go Go - This one’s good, but it doesn’t give me as many emotions like all the previous tracks. 

9. OUTRO: HER - I LOVE THIS. It kind of has that early 90s hip hop sound that I loved, and the lyrics are so good. Perfect ending to the album!

Final Thoughts: This album blew me away! I had no idea what to expect after WINGS/YNWA, but the boys did not disappoint, at all.

Album Rating: 4.5/5
