Why the heck the caption is Never let go of friendship, idk. But I'm just going to take the kiss at the end as confirmation of a relationship. Lol good for them 😂

A Jpop band I had never heard of popped up on my fyp on tiktok. I'm sure because I get lots of queer content/creators on my fyp.... But I'm SO curious. Because I went through their ENTIRE TikTok and 2 of their members would post cutesy romantic content together and use a boylove hashtag along with their names and the group name like??!!.... Are they a couple? It's SEEMS like it, but nothing is confirmed anywhere and no one is talking about the group or these boys 😂😂 so just you know, we should also appreciate that jkkrs have blogs that give so much content about them and can find info about their relationship/history all over. 😂😂

Hey storm I think ive read this a few times now 😭 but I come back to it quite a bit because the way u explain it just makes sm sense. I also wanted to add (I am not sure if you’ve talked about it since ive seen most your content and haven’t stumbled upon this) that I believe around 2020/2021 for either on or black Swan performance behind the scenes there’s a video of jimin. and as the cameras recording him jimin talks about how he’s tired and how performing with out a crowd is weird but “it’s fun” (can’t remember the wording he used but unfamiliar I think) and in the video jk pops up behind him gives him a pat and says “when we get home I’ll let you rest”.

Hi Storm,

This is my first ask on tumblr, I've been so confused about a Vlive that Jimin had on 2020.03.30, around time 37:40, who's the one that said, "Saranghae, Jimina?"

I watched the live and I thought Jin said it to Jimin but some people said Jungkook's the one said it.

Was it Jin or Jungkook?

Thanks in advance for your answer and I enjoy reading your blogs a lot.

Hello, random ask, when reading a book or watching a series, have you :

a. Finish a book or a series, even when you dislike the mc until the end but love the story (What's the title?)

b. Finish a book or a series, even when you dislike the story but love the mc (what's the title?)

c. Finish a book or a series, even when you dislike the mc and story but love the worldbuilding (what's the title?)

d. Finish a book or a series, even when you dislike the mc, story, worldbuilding but still finish it for whatever reason (what's the title?)

Thanks if you want to answer.....

Oooo not my scrolling through my Goodreads for reminders over what the heck I've even read before!

a) Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

and

Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi

b) The Falconer by Elizabeth May

c) The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (all you die hard fans have to low-key understand that I have such a reasonable love/hate relationship with these books okay?? I still own all of them with a place of honor on my damn shelves though lol)

d) City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (read because I love my best friend and she was appalled I skipped over this middle school obsession when we were IN middle school lol)

and also so a handful more because sometimes my best friend and I read books that sound bad on purpose just to giggle over them together. Lol

If you want full reviews for any of these, just let me know!

Hey storm would u by chance know if the trip they’re talking about here is the 2017 Tokyo one or if it’s a different trip they took and have you seen this before, pls tell me all u know I’d love to hear it!!

They are talking about the short break they had, some members did a small bit of traveling, Jikook seemed to just hang out at the dorm together, work on music, talk, play games, go bowling, etc. So not their Tokyo trip. The screenshots are from 2018 Festa, which you can read the entire of the BTS News segment in my post about that Festa here

@chikooritajjk also just recently supplied the full screenshot of that page of the news, both original and translated, so I'll just pull those onto this post too (thanks love!)

Jikook coincidences never fail to coincidence lmao a whole JM on the knuckles a year before JK gets a JM on HIS knuckles 😂😂

These two!!

[stormblessed95]

@hangrytulip the Stormlight/Cosmere fan animation I mentioned in my comment, if you haven't seen it yet!

Wtf this was SO GOOD!! I'm OBSESSED some of the most classic and best scenes and characters. 😭

OBSESSED I need more. I hope they make more!

[stormblessed95]

This is embarrassing. I'm so embarrassed for them. My goodness. I'm so embarrassed on behalf of JK too and istg I hope he doesn't see all his tags 😅🙃

Do people forget tattoos are FOREVER?! Lmao

one big thing i think people outside fandom (like, all fandoms, fandom in general, not any particular one) tend to misunderstand is they know it's a subculture of people who are weirdly deeply invested in fictional media, and they hear about drama caused by people in those subcultures being unhinged in not-fun ways, and they think the unhingedness comes from the fact of being overinvested in works of fiction.

which is a natural assumption, but in my experience that's not really the case? like in my experience the drama llamas in fandom are usually not the ones who are just genuinely very deeply into the fiction. i've known people who are basically thinking about star trek or x-men comics or supernatural pretty much 100% of their free time and ime that type of person is usually very nice and surprisingly functional in their regular life. when someone's a constant nexus of fandom drama it's usually not that they are obsessed with the actual work of fiction the fandom is about, it's at least one of the following:

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but their unhealthy parasocial relationships with one or more of the people who created it

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but some elaborate shared-universe subset of fanfic about it that's only barely related to the original at this point, and/or an esoteric reading-against-the-text reinterpretation of the source material (often if the canon is active and ongoing this leads to becoming actively hostile toward it for its inevitably increasing failure to conform to their preferred fanon)

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but the fandom itself and gathering clout within it, so that the source material basically only exists to them as a tool for scoring points in increasingly arcane fandom disputes

and very often you get the same person doing 2 and sometimes even all 3 of these, and that's where the trouble really starts

Keeping a "Safe Place" on Social Media (As Army and a Jikooker)

In my opinion, social media needs to take responsibility for what it has become. I don’t think it ever will, because it feeds on negative attention, but I try to focus on what I can do to help. For myself and others.

My bio on Twitter includes the sentence “A Positive and Safe Space for everyone” and I take this very seriously. As a baby Army, I used to be in several GC’s for report pages. Back then, reporting used to be primarily done in GC’s privately and we tried to limit any engagement. Soon afterwards, I started to witness a change: Egos started to get big, there was a saviour complex with Y/N tendencies, some would start engaging with the posts we reported and deals were being made behind the scenes to protect certain accounts. It made me sad to see this change in priorities and it wasn’t why I joined them in the first place, so I left when things started to go bad.

What did I do instead? Mute, block and report with my own system. I tend to “mute” someone first if they really annoy me and then “block” a second time if they are a repeat offender. I will automatically block and report someone if they say something really bad. I do not engage. That includes: liking, retweeting or quoting. It boosts the harmful tweet. Even more so if your display name includes something related to BTS or the members and it will add to the trends. By taking away the engagement, you are taking away their audience that they are hoping to gain.

I have mentioned before how a particular anti revealed that they would aim to get on a report page's radar, because the posts on them helped advertise their posts and accounts. Their plan was rather like a business model and it was scay how well thought out it all was. It was also clear that they had help and was in a GC thrmselves, just like the report pages were. When report GC's started to die out, they grew even more with how public the fighting became. The antis figured out how the change in social media worked in their benefit, before the rest of the fandom and even the social media creators itself did. They still fail to this day to understand how fandoms (and the language within them) changes over time. The algorithm encourages these type of negative posts too. On my second account I accidently liked a BTS tweet and my feed suddenly contained so much negativity about them, rather than about their projects or joy.

But how is all of this linked with being a Jikooker? Because we sometimes end up boosting that negativity that we really shouldn't. I quite honestly do not care what their theories are, but I always end up seeing them somewhere. More than I see actual posts about Jikook sometimes. Someone reached out to me that they felt like they knew more about tker theories than about BTS or Jikook as a whole. It's also why, whenever something negative happens, I start to spam more Jikookry instead. It's actually how the Live Reactions series was created, because I wanted to counter those talking bad about it. And to help us relive it with fondness.

I also think there is a lack of understanding about what the word "cult" actually means. It is up to an individual to try to break free, but it might also be difficult. There was a post by a young girl who had been added to a tker GC by a friend from school. She wanted to leave, because it was quite frankly bullshit, but was afraid to because she had given the GC owner some private information that they had threatened to leak if she left. That is terrifying and I sometimes think back to that girl and how she is doing. If she did manage to leave or not. For some, they are persuaded to stay whether they really want to or not.

That adds an entire new layer to all of this: Children being on the internet too young or not understanding the implications of certain things. I am a 90's kid. It was drilled into me religiously about the dangers of The Internet. That doesn't seem to be a thing anymore though, or they are quite literally left to their own devices. Because of this, we sadly saw an increase of online crimes aimed towards children during lockdown. There needs to be more done and again social media needs to be taking responsability. Ticking a box claiming your age does nothing to protect anyone. Not every Army with questionable intentions is a child though, of course. There are those that refuse to watch content or rely on heavily edited clips. I get a lot of those edits myself in my inbox, either by tkers or jkers who have found them and asked if they are true. My common answer: No. This is also why I try to give sources and encourage anyone to try to watch all the BTS content that they can. I know there is a lot, but it will help you on your journey. What can be done to stop them? Honestly, not much. We can hope to encourage them though and stop those that wish harm in their tracks. How do we do this? By being louder in our support. Because, at the moment, we're being louder with our hate and social media is boosting that even more. Rather than the praise and love that BTS and Jikook deserve.

I watched this video with subtitles. Thanks alot but i still don’t really understand the whole thing if they were asked to chose whom they are closest to or what the context of the question really was. I would really love for u to explain it since u are great at that. You don’t have to do it now though. Whenever you feel like watching the video lol. I’m always on your blog so i’ll see eventually if you decide to watch it and explain better for some dumbos like me lol. Thanks

Wow this was from.forever ago and I'm so sorry for not replying! Your link:

Luckily when scrolling through my inbox this ask was right next to an ask from someone else who basically script summed up that video for us! So I'll just post photos of their answer here and say thanks!

Hope that helps. And sorry again!! And thanks to the 2nd anon for providing answers!

Hello... Can I ask your top 5 (or top 7) favorite BTS songs? And why you love them? Sorry if you've answered this before....

IM SO BAD AT NARROWING DOWN FAVORITES 😭

To make my life easier, I'm going to not include any solos....

In no particular order, some of my favorite BTS songs are probably:

Black Swan: MOTS7 was my first comeback with BTS and therefore that whole album will hold a special place in my heart and the depth of emotion behind this song in particular too

Ugh: I'm obsessed with everything about this track and how hard it goes and the message and just the rap line melts my brain in all the good ways

Dis-ease: this song could run me over with a truck and I'd say thank you. god dang! It's just a masterpiece.

Pied Piper: it's just a bop, a banger and catchy as heck with vocals to DIE FOR (as with all their songs honestly but this one is just 😍😍)

Hip-Hop Phile: their background and knowledge and fierce dedication put on display with all the name dropping all turned into an incredible song

Outro: Tear: I cry, you cry, they cry.... We all cry. And God it's a fucking banger.

00:00: my depression hangs onto this song like the lifeline it was probably meant to be 😅😂

Special mention to louder than bombs for the haunting vocals and intense emotions you can feel through the lyrics that make me want to drown at sea happily with the sirens

I have plans to get lyrics (or something representative) from Intro:Nevermind and/or 00:00 tattooed on my body one day. 🥰

Thanks for the ask!!
