The trailer uses a remix of Microkosmos that has me on my knees. Like, wtf?!?! I...I...goosebumps and tears. Goosebumps and tears.

Life outside BTS is lifing...in crazy, chaotic ways. If I'm not reacting to the comeback, it's because I'm trying to stay above water and not drown. In life lessons, the opening tracks of PtD Live are amazing, energetic wake up & commute listen. BTS music yet again gwtting me thru the day

How did I go from writers block the last several weeks to two more chapters done?!? Anyone? Anyone? I'm not complaining. Just startled af! Here, I'm so happy to be writing, have a snippet:

Today, we managed 3.77 km on our walk. The river is flowing, most of the snow is gone, and there weremany birds. The first pic is the same location with the ice from a few weeks ago. #FridayForestbathing

I adore TK's take because this helps me understand the cultural context I often miss. And that take is why I'm not engaging with JK's recent live. He took it down. We should respect that.

Well that was a "fun" way to realize I've slid so far into the asexual bit of me as to be sex repulsed. I was _not_ expecting my response to many of the new JK/CK pics to be "ick, please stop". The video ad with dancing in the record store? Loved it! The stills...not so much.

Igh. I hate this yarn. It's rough, the magic circle.dowsnt close, and it's not very tension forgiving. I'm not making anymore hearts out of this. Swapping to the other purple. I'll figure out another shade/multicolor when I finish this skein.

If you see this, do it!! (If you want) ☆ pronouns: they/them or fae/faer ☆ height: 5'4" ☆ zodiac: fire dragon ☆ smoke: ?!? ☆ tattoos: purple koi & cherry blossoms on my arm ☆ piercings: normal ears ☆ fav color: purple ☆ fav drink: depends; top choices are chai, taro milk tea, and 유자차

No cheating. Your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist. Okay, I'll take it.

I am exhausted. We moved the bed from my office (which has been there since ankle surgery last year) to storage. Moved the couch from storage back into the office. Then pulled up the old carpet, which had torn. Then, laid down new carpet before washing the couch covers. It's done and I ache!

In case anyone else wants to make the purple/black heart blanket, I used the pattern linked below with the Loops & Threads Sweet Snuggles black and purple yarn. www.etsy.com/listing/1377...

And today, we found the ultimate fae home...

Looks like walking the park may be a regular thing and I want to share, so I'm going to start tagging it to be able to find them. Here is today's glimpses (note it rained the last few days) #FridayForestbathing

No, no, @arajellybean.bsky.social is amazing for letting me rant and bent and squee about making this blanket. Ash deserved a soft, fluffy present in return...

I needed to rearrange my office, which meant changing my BTS display area. I'm loving it...and I'm only half done 💜

today has been utter shite...and I did not need b-cd pulling the one thing fits in multiple categories shite in so 4 more. I also didn't need lastfm skipping more than half my scrobbles. So nope. fuck it. I'm going offline with chamomile tea and a good book.

In frustration central, I'm not getting emails from the archive. It's apparently a known issue....took me 3 days to figure that out 😞 Hopefully an email change helps because I've no idea how to keep up on subscriptions otherwise

Happy Birthday to our Hope!

@arajellybean.bsky.social we found another fae house today...and some gorgeous scenery.

Got thru Jin's Love Song Selection while running errands. I fell in love with Wendy's song and cackled at Super Tuna.

Listening to RM's Loce Song playlist felt like listening to my own liked music - eclectic.

😱😅 Apparently being ARMY makes Birthday presents easy...I just went from 'Need to pre-order Arirang' to 'I'm getting you Arirang, which version do you want?' twice!!! And the family gifting me the streaming tickets for April. I just...have no words. Gawds, I love my friends and family.

Random prompt from my youngest: Fae wakes to find their home is now a state park and decides to work as a park ranger while living in their "fae home" at night.

Seems like today was a very good day to 'wake up' from the stupid head cold & mental fog of the last 3 days. Gawds. They look good and the article was so so nice to read.

For anyone else who needs this...

Since today sucked overall, I ended up curled up in a blanket crocheting. I now have 40 hearts done. I think I'll make my goal of 100 freebies.

I gave up on crocheting aftet I had to rip apart (frog) 2 hearts in a row. I'll do more tomorrow. I figured at 1-2 a day that I can get a good couple hundred done by August. Also, new over ear headphones are bringing me mich joy as I again can catch the beautiful nuances in BTS' music.

This is what sparked my conversation about lightstick etiquette. They would NEVER do this in Korea or Japan so spread the word to new ARMY. Keep lightstick in your bubble and never raise it up unless you are doing the wave. PLEASE be considerate of those around you. 🙏 CTTRO

I had to get a new set of earbuds. I'm testing audio quality and am curious- what song do you use to test audio quality / sound? Lovak ARMY friend uses 'Home'

This. All this... I'm taking my current one (MotS SE), turning it purple, and using it. Fucking hell Hybe. We aren't made of money.

This articulates a lot of my feelings on this subject. If airports had private entrances and more restrictions, that might change but as things are now...not my thing. ymmv

Woke up at 3:45 am and couldn't get back to sleep. Made my day better by opening this...

Always! You matter

Eldest: Mada! Are you making freebies _already_? Me: Yes. I have 180 some days to get these all done. Eldest: But it's February!! Me: And?!?! (Have mercy; This is Eldest's first BTS concert. Eldest has only ever seen BTS at home or the movies. They're in for an experience...)

I have no words.

Found this gem again. It was one of the first performances I watched when it dropped. No wonder I fell into the rabbit hole... youtu.be/ErTgtL1Tjns?...

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: * Transitional Justice * Political Theory & Literature * Arabic * Irish Dance * Geopolitics & the World Today

This! Fan art is one thing. AI?!? Fuck no.

Arirang releases on 20 March 2026. 20 March 2026 is the first day of Spring. 🤔 I have Spring Day in my head now: The morning will come again because no darkness or no season can last forever...This winter is also coming to its end. 🤔

Five jobs I've had: Wait Staff Office Manager IT Support Project Manager Parent (sorry not sorry about that last one, it's a job - even if my pay is hugs and cuddles)

Today has been suck on so many levels. Please Help?!? Send cute Bangtan or animal pics before I fire the wek.

Concert freebie making has begun!

We are dug out and our road finally plowed. Schools are still closed. I'm enjoying the impromptu 4 day weekend...mostly (issues with new glasses = headaches). I'm also really glad I have a heated massage pad....

In hindsight, I shouldn't have shoveled yesterday. Freezing rain and sleet create an ice sheet that means I cannot clear my sidewalk without hammering thru it. I gave up & put grit down. Now to dig out one of the cars...

Snow I can handle. It can be annoying, but doable. Sleet? Sleet sucks. Little pellets of ice are a pita to clear and shovel. The only thing worse is freezing rain, which coats everything in a layer of ice. I've gotten all three in this storm. I'm done.

5:30 am - we have twice as much now. Almost time to go shovel again.... Blasting BTS on my phone, shoved in my pocket, makes it survivable

Hey ARMY moots - I've friends with extra tickets for Baltimore and Tampa (long story). They're apparently 100 level seats so not cheap. But I offered to see if moots wanted them before they went back into the general pool. (Responses limited; please don't repost).

What is sleep? My brain is spinning. I honestly didn't think I was going to get tickets. I had 5 levels of backup plans. So having tickets for BOTH days _and_ in the levels we wanted _and_ under budget is just freaking out brain.

Today is BTS day! Look what arrived!!!!! Aaaahhhh!!! How am I supposed to sleep?!?!

This! I know someone who thought they didn't get tickets so bought more and now has 8! For 2 people! They're going on resale (once they decide which to keep)...
