This is what I was thinking about today when I should have been focusing on work. It's meant to be fun and silly, so don't take it seriously.
Jin - being their clown funny
RM - translates organizes chaos writes lyrics for them
J-Hope - energy charger he's their hope accepting them all unconditionally
Taehyung - spoons with anyone that will let him gives free hugs
Jimin - is perfect in every way physical affection
Jungkook - slaps their butt back hugs
Yoongi - tries to hold their hands cooks for them gets them water produces songs for them when he is on vacation is savage pushes them away before grudgingly accepting their physical affection is their cat flashes them an authentic heart melting smile "just watching you eat makes me full" exists in a room with them when he would rather be alone
I had way too much fun coming up with these. And obviously I had the most fun with Yoongi's. I love to think that Yoongi is going around quietly whispering "I love you" to all of the members with every one of his actions.
Have some fun with me... what would your list include?
All joking aside, these guys are so sweet the way they all love each other 💜
Sort of intoxicated on the idea of how music can be re-formulated into so many different forms.
Case in point, jin’s epiphany. The final version that made itself on the LY series is so empowering, full of self-realisations, manifesting only healthy things for self. But when we hear jin’s version demo of it, it’s so full of yearning, romantic, sweet and beckoning.
Both version are equally strong and hard-hitting. I just feel Jin is someone with a very sweet, berry-like voice. It fits most themes tonally. I cannot stress enough on how much I await for his solo album— because I think we are in for the most treatiest dessert ever.
It is decided. You and I discussed long enough in bed that we won't keep Joon hostage any longer. Poor man can be glad he didn't witness my discussion skills with you. Though he might have heard it
You can't keep your voice down when we are discussing together, I wonder how much of our conversation got out. Your discussion skills are always the best, they always make me change my mind it seems.
But Yes, Namjoon is finally free, the $40M bounty will need to stay on his head. But I still wish to take you on such a holiday. Let's have another check on your discussion skills maybe?
How have you been? It's been so long since we've met in person. I miss you so much, I miss your hugs, kisses, caresses, all of you. I want so bad to hold you again in my arms and never let you go again. And I'm serious.
This time away from you has been absolute hell, I can't concentrate on anything because the only thing on my mind is you. I worry about how you are without me, if you are taking care of yourself or if you have someone very close to you. You remember what we talked about before I left, don't you? Of course you remember, you are such a smart person. Ahh, I think I'm going to die for missing you so much! Could you tell I'm pouting as I write you this letter?
I can't wait for all this to be over and I can have you with me again. Tell me, do you miss me like I miss you? I hope so! I don't like to think that I'm the only one suffering from our forced separation... We will never be apart again, my sunshine, I promise you that.
Ugh, they're calling me again! Unfortunately I have to close this letter but I promise to write you more while we are away. I love you so much, my love, never forget that. Love you!
Out of all the Cyphers, which one is your favourite and why?

A fun ask!

(let it play)
On Cyphers 1 & 2, you could tell they were still green. Those cyphers aren't good at all in my opinion. There are moments where they show some skill, but overall the flow gets awkward too many times and the instrumentation too is uninspiring. But you know, when I heard Cypher 1 and 2, each time I thought it was still a decent showing and honestly better than most of what else was trending at the time in k-pop. I thought BTS will keep improving at the pace I'd seen other groups from small companies advance at before they inevitably sputtered to an end in about 7 years.
Then I heard Cypher Pt 3.
This song for me marked one of the pivotal moments it clicked in my head that BTS were the real deal and that I should pay closer attention to their trajectory.
Remember BTS dropped this song in August 2014. These guys had been on the scene for a little over a year and they were already dressing down everyone and their mommas for the piss poor job the rest were doing at the time. Joon calling some mfs a ragtag bunch of nobodies and his diction was immaculate. Hobi was literally licking the mic to create adlibs that elevate that track from a cypher diss to a nasty stick up your ass. And Yoongi...
I sat up and paid attention to those three scrawny, almost desperate-looking boys. They had nothing to lose, and they made such sick music.
Cypher Pt 3 was their hype track, the one that got everybody to remember the Bangtan Boys could hold their own against the heavy weights. The HYYH albums followed and marked one of the most transformative eras for any group I've watched before.
Cypher Pt 4 in their Wings album two years later just sealed the deal, reminding people that BTS as artists were intent on focusing on themselves and their own journeys, and that they believed they were indeed the best.
