"Banning books," he says, in a flat reply.

"That's an every year thing, and it's not exactly clandestine," she remarks, resting her cheek on her palm.

"Though... it has ramped up a lot lately. May be a good market to get into once people realize investing in BOWs at this point is basically sunk costs."

Of course, they'd always be an issue. Too many fools with more money than sense or care. But there was still the chance that it could become a secondary market for her, instead of primary.

[separatedway]

"Well. It may not even need words. Seems that we understand well enough already."

Somehow.

'Religion' wasn't something that appealed to Ada, or drew her interest. There were too many different experiences in the world to try to prop a limited viewpoint as true. Sure, some of the stories and visuals were interesting. But most of it was trying to make sense of unfair existence. Whether it was examining the role of nature, or the realities of living under despots- all it was, was a collection of archetypes. Whatever was factual or not didn't matter.

She folded her arms over her chest, watching the injection and her sister's amusement that, in another life, she could have been a bird.

"Maybe," she agrees, "You could still be. After all, there's avians in the Ladder. I saw the documentation on them."

A dry joke.

"Well, if it is true, and I'm still here in the next life," Ada starts, "I think I'll find some way to keep doing this."

She makes a vague gesture around. The spy work, the sabotage. Keeping the bioweapon problem from becoming unmanageable.

"If somehow BOWs are not an issue? Maybe it would be nice to be a housecat."

"Hm. No fun."

She shook her head at herself. The game of dredging for conscious memory would never be a pure experiment free of bias.

"To no end. My memories are false claims, and it's a concept without comprehension- what is real memory, who is real, who isn't. I've already lost my mind over it."

Unpacking her maintenance kit, she twisted a silvery capsule in her hand, slowly thumbing up her thigh and loosening the belt on her pants to find an injection site for the regulatory injection.

"No words in this language. Many others have words for it. I call it something else."

She put the head of the injection against her skin and pushed the plunger. A wash of cool slowed her heart pleasantly after a pinch and she breathed a deep shudder through her nose, and it staggered out of her mouth. The conversation stopped enough for her body to shiver through the solution. She slipped the used capsule into her case's disposal box, and sprayed the site with an antiviral.

"I suppose I could have been a bird."

The cringing is a little funny to the spy- just how separate their realities were. It wasn't like Ada was close to anyone in her program.

"Oh, it's extremely useful for me. But you'll find that, like fashion, certain trends in clandestine government programs go in and out of style."

Ada handwaves, "They'll start with super spies or super soldiers, then developing secret WMDs or stealth tech, then trying to teach or recruit psychics... back to super soldiers."

She puts her hand on her hip, "I think stealth tech is back in fashion now. Not too long before the mutant surge renews interest in super soldier programs."

“There were others…?” She blinks slowly a couple times, in some slight disbelief. How MANY others? And of all of them, Ada was the only survivor?

Its enough to make her visibly cringe.

“All that for an AR device… I mean it really explains some things about you now, I guess. How you were able to see through most of that smog in Atlanta. Really interesting bit of tech.”

Watches the exchange.

Ada doesn't make any effort to conceal the sheer amount of schadendreude at Helena's balking. Speaking freely about the ordeals of her previous existence was a rare luxury, and even if Ada herself didn't feel anything other than satisfaction at having "won" within her program and later escaping it, the reactions were... enlightening. Perhaps even validating.

Leon acts as audience to it all. None of this is new- not for him. He got the "super soldier" treatment, after all. Trained by those that worked adjacently with her instructors.

"So what are your bets?" she asks him, "Psychics next? Or the supers programs?"

[separatedway]

Arms folded across her chest, and breathing in a slow, controlled manner, Ada watched as Ahab used her blood as a reagent for incindiary ritual. Droplets spilled and ignited the ball of paper, kindling for the hearth of this isolated cabin.

She didn't used to be bothered at all by this kind of cold. But now in the solitary wilderness, bundled in several layers, it was setting in just how much had changed over the years.

Recovering from the damage her own immune system did to her to protect her from the incorrectly implanted Plaga left her outer thighs perpetually cold. And, like it or not, she was fifty- and her body was menopausal. She could tell by the swings in mood and flashes of chills and heat even though her bleeding organ had been removed a long, long time ago.

Ada unfolds her arms, pushing her palms into her numb thighs, snorting about the comment on parasites.

"Seems like our chances are good. The population of parasites seems to be centralized in the Southeast."

These survival cabins were spattered around different impeccable views. They were usually maintained by Fish and Game on the state side, and the further north they climbed in a slow ascent back to base, the more Carla enjoyed the weather and had to remind herself that her much more human companion was uncomfortable in these temperatures.

Carla ran a blade through the center of her palm, spilling blood on a small chunk of rolled up newsprint and small chunks of firewood for the woodstove. She grabbed a paper ball, waiting until it blackened and crunched together with embers to return it into the woodstove.

Fire slowly crept along the ridges of the cold wood, coaxing warmth into the space.

"Well, nobody's tracking you all the way out here unless they're parasites."

The year that was 2024:

But first...

Standing at the threshold of 2025 I look back far past 2024 to that day in June 2022 and the grief, disbelief... the shock and trauma those of us experienced while watching the Festa Dinner video. That dinner had been pre-recorded a few weeks prior and they released it on June 14. The members had to be scared of what our reactions would be when we watched it. 

At that time we still had no idea how military enlistment would unfold, that news was still months away for us after the October concert in Busan. All we knew was BTS was going to pause but we did not really know what that meant. And it wasn't just the fans who went into a tailspin, Hybe stock took a dip, the secretary of Ministry of Culture Sports and Tourism begged BTS to come back. The news of a BTS hiatus began to hit international news media across the globe. The emotional devastation was real.

That day and following days, it seemed like 2025 was forever in the future. What would we be like in 2025? What would the members of BTS be like? What would the music industry landscape be like? What would the world be like? It was two and a half years away from that day. Back in June 2022, 2025 seemed like a lifetime away in the future, a bleak, dark unknown.

We attempted to pull ourselves together and look for the positives... "we'll save so much money!” and "we'll have time to learn Korean!" HAH! The real winner: “I can catch up on content!” LMAO!

Here we are now, two and a half years later. My god the shit that's transpired since. A lot of it was not on anyone's radar.

2024, the year of fighting...

Throughout the year and as the year wore on, we fought boycotters, haters, mantis and solos. We fought the media, each other, other fandoms... it was a constant battle to clear the mess. Our main weapon? Our love for BTS and the members and our commitment and determination.

We should be better at recognizing bad actors, at recognizing organized hate. I hope you all are blocking it, muting it because it is an energy drain to dwell on it and it exists. Some people are compelled to lash back at it. I'm not one of those. I prefer blocking/muting. Do what is right for you.

So here's a recap of 2024...the first quarter of the year started out calmly.

January: We were basking in the BTS documentary series Beyond the Star and waiting for a sign of our men completing their basic training. We were hoping to find out where they would be stationed for the rest of their military service.

February was relatively quiet. Except for this.

Tae's song "Fri(end)s", released mid-March.

Hope on the Street Vol. 1 released end of March with the six episode docu-series running through April.

We were hitting our stride, understanding that they'd prepared so much for us while they were away. Even k-media reported on the unusual amount of content produced by BTS to span their enlistment time. It was reassuring and we were spoiled. Looking back, it was the quiet before the storm...

This "quiet before the storm" has never quieted before the storm like this quiet before the storm quieted the first quarter of 2024.

In April we witnessed a real eclipse in the sky and then while we were having the best time unraveling the mystery of the Monochrome merch popups, the shit hit the fan with the Min Hee Jin revelations. And that circus was just beginning. Maybe I'm just naive or too much of a positive person but I never fathomed that there were people out there this demented, this twisted, this delusional, controlling and narcissistic that they thought they could single-handedly bring down a huge company like Hybe via public opinion. And as time went on and continues to go on we learned she was not alone. That woman is sick and evil.

I recalled back in 2021 seeing people be paranoid about the young company, Hybe, hiring ex-SM employees. I wanted to believe these former SM employees they hired saw the opportunity to escape a toxic workplace and therefore defected to Hybe. Now we know the paranoia was justified.

The end of April and into May I watched Begins ≠ Youth, the drama series based on the BTS Universe. It took years for that series to finally see the light of day. It was very intriguing. There was a lot of controversy about Xclusive, the platform it was delivered on. My theory is it was an experiment to see how fans would react to a blockchain/NFT product. I have a huge post in my drafts about it but we moved on from it quickly, so I did too. The series was great though.

The rest of May was a month where we were trying to remain calm, trying to remain positive. We as a fandom felt very beat up. Anticipation was through the roof for Jin's military discharge and Festa.

But first, Namjoon released Right Place, Wrong Person, the studio album and subsequently, the accompanying documentary, Right People, Wrong Place. Both the album and documentary are critically acclaimed, winning awards and landing on "best of" lists across the globe.

Finally, it's June. Jin's discharge was so emotional for everyone. We were able to see everyone except Yoongi greet him outside the gates. But it was amazing seeing all 7 together in still photos afterward. It was a collective sigh of relief that we truly are beginning the downhill side of their military enlistment. Jin has been working his ass off since that day, his album Happy and its title song Running Wild doing well.

I know we've got our opinions about the South Korean government but that day, for me, seeing Jimin and Jungkook in their uniforms, as soldiers, just hit a spot in me that I can't describe. I felt proud of them. And I hope after their discharge they can tuck away that sense of accomplishment in a safe space and flip the bird at the bureaucrats running their country.

Jimin dropped his second album, Muse, in July, the mystery solved of what all those other producers were doing with Jimin the second half of 2022. The title song Who continues to chart. His songs are wonderful. I'm so proud of how far he's come during this solo era. I miss him.

And then Are You Sure?! happened. Even though we KNEW it was coming, I can't believe we got that show. I can't believe they did all of that. Naked Jimin except for a small pair of black shorts... naked Jungkook. Just so much naked after years of Victorian era artist protection CG over every square inch of bare skin. Watching that show, so much of what I knew in my mind of how they are together was mostly confirmed.

I said this months ago: After Jungkook’s 2023 Weverse lives, the Are You Sure?! series, their companion military enlistment and his documentary I Am Still the theatrical release and the Disney+ docu-series, it is clear that Jimin is Jungkook’s touchstone, a significant presence through at least this part of his life. We can’t know what the future holds, I would never dare to assume what their own personal desires or goals are for themselves, but I do know that Jimin will play a big part in it and I hope we still get to see some of that play out when it happens.

I'm still processing. I digressed. It happens when it comes to me, Jimin and Jungkook. Moving on.

August... my god. My dear Yoongi. We are still waiting to see him again, to see with our own eyes that he is actually ok and to figuratively take his hand in ours, to reassure each other and keep moving forward to leave this year far behind. I know he knows we are here. I can't stand the wall though, of not being able to see him. Does that make sense? I mostly keep my thoughts to myself about him because it really hurts my heart to think about him having to suffer through all that. August and into September were hard, hard… so hard.

Fast forward to October when Hobi stepped out of those doors on the day of his discharge, it seemed like time had flown by as if we just watched him leaving for training camp, even though it was sooooooo long ago.

And now he's lived in LA for almost a month, been in Japan and seen with more people... A possible fashion collab? Songs/album in February? We don't know anything for sure yet but info has leaked. A tour in spring? I'll be there if I can snag tickets.

We've seen glimpses of Tae and his buff self. His collab with Bing Crosby was ground breaking and hopefully will become a holiday classic just like the original. Also, happy birthday, Tae!

[Photo shared by Taehyung on his Instagram stories.]

December began shockingly with South Korea's President Yoon attempting to impose martial law. My heart dropped. Our guys were on red alert, scrambling. It lasted a few hours before being overturned by their national assembly.

Mid-December, while on a vacation leave, Jungkook surprised us with a 2 and a half hour live just like he used to do. He looked so good. He sounded good. From what I saw, he's still the same Jungkook.

Do you realize, if martial law had remained in effect, we would not have seen Jungkook? There would be no celebrating. We would all be in limbo. Who knows what that crazy shithead (now impeached-president Yoon) would have done if martial law was still in place. The slow reveal of information about the planning of it is chilling and should be a reminder to us all to not take things for granted. Their National Assembly are still trying to get everything under control, the turmoil is not over yet.

Somehow, the Universe is working overtime to get BTS through their service and I hope it continues to do so because we still have just under six months left. At this point, I believe anything could happen.

Counting down the hours to 2025

We are about to enter the holy Borayear of our Lord Min Yoongi 2025. Bestie and I talked a lot about what the possibilities might be for 2025.

Of course, like everyone else, we know nothing for sure, only what we've gleaned from the member's themselves, official announcements, news releases and hints here and there. What we DO know for sure is there will not be a void. We have two Tannies back with us. Music will be released, content produced:

January 4 is Jin's OST.

Not directly BTS related but we as a fandom would like some closure and satisfaction surrounding the MHJ drama because trials will begin in January.

Hobi has something coming. Certainly Hobi will have another EP, perhaps HOTS Vol. 2? which would be supported with a tour. There's been a leak of info. We are on high alert.

For the others, perhaps a few one-off singles before June. Between us, we don't think Tae has another album's worth of music. Jungkook either.

A Yoongi collab perhaps?

Namjoon, probably nothing. Poor baby is so ready to be discharged.

The Jimin x Benny Blanco music, whatever that may be.

Maybe that rumored JK x Tae subunit song. Or maybe it's not a song?

Jin mentioned another album but the timing is tight to squeeze it in before June.

Then the HYYH 10th Anniversary in April, whatever that may entail. A retrospective perhaps?

Attempting to predict how their discharge days will play out is difficult. Jin and Hobi splitting up to meet Namjoon and Tae at their respective bases? And then all four of them head to Jimin and Jungkook the next day to greet them as they exit their base? We wait with anticipation.

After the Boraholy month of June 2025, we expect group activities to ramp up. What those will be is anyone's guess. Weverse lives for sure. Also, dance practice videos. We expect new music. We also expect performances. Perhaps a one-off "we're baaAAAaack!" type concert? Or not. But performances of some sort. They've been looking forward so much to performing I can't see them waiting any longer than they have to for at least one performance somewhere, somehow.

And toward the end of 2025, a comeback album and the world tour announcement. May the odds be ever in your favor. Just kidding. I'm getting those tickets.

Our speculation continues... could new music consist of more subunits?

I could be wrong but I do not think they will revisit a Bon Voyage or In The Soop format. They might pick up Run BTS but it won’t be like it was before. I can’t even see them doing what Jin’s doing in many Run Jin episodes. Not as a group.

I think (I hope) that Yoongi picks up Suchwita again. I hope he does not change one iota of the format. He can address his incident again if he chooses, reiterate he apologized, paid his fine and now we’re moving on to live our big life. That’s it. I hope if this happens his first guest is BTS as a group. 

Maybe that last thing is really wishful thinking on my part but even considering Yoongi might ditch Suchwita or change it just doesn’t align with who he is. He is a “fuck you” type of guy. 

Anyway. 2025 has a promise of hope and happiness and relief and closure. But now, I think we all know to be wary, that anything can happen. 

Bottomline to all of this, to wrap up the year and look forward to the new year is that BTS is COMING BACK. SEVEN MEMBERS STRONG.

The reality is, it will be three years from that day back in 2022, when we finally see them as a group again. The members are slowly becoming more active. We have less than six months to wait and we know how fast that can go. 163 days left for Jimin and Jungkook, 162 for Namjoon and Tae, 173 left for Yoongi.

We must enjoy every moment we can until June 2025 and hope for the best! FIGHTING.

I can't stop fucking laughing at the absolute IRONY of the American government choosing to ban TikTok at the behest of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg and some other blood-sucking parasitic billionaires and calling it "protecting our data from China" and acted like it wasn't a complete violation of our freedom of speech, so in response to the TikTok ban, something like millions and millions of Americans went and joined Rednote, an app owned by China.

American content creators on TikTok are roasting the absolute shit out of the American government right now.

If you wanna look at it from a fandom perspective, this is what happens when a masked vigilante reveals the true face of the enemy to everyone.

Corporate America are Scooby Doo villains.

If you are new to F1 through the Lestappen fandom, or not new to F1 but new to the Lestappen fandom, and are overwhelmed by the amount of Lestappen moments and things you feel you need to catch up on or learn about before the 2025 season, I would highly recommend this video. It’s like a giant timeline of all lore and major moments of Lestappen. No need to go digging through the archives of Twitter or Tumblr (tho I would still recommend bc I always find the most fun little Lestappen crumbs I didn’t even know about at the time)
