Jimin's Birthday minus 4 - 2019 celebrations
BTS were on their Love Yourself: Speak Yourself tour in October 2019. During the concert on the 11th October the Members organised a surprise for Jimin singing Happy Birthday to him in Arabic. Jimin was visibly shocked and then delighted skipping around the stage with a massive smile on his face.
youtube
The next morning he did a live to thank ARMY for their birthday wishes before he got on the plane back to Korea. He talked about how watching Jungkook enjoy the concert had helped him relax and enjoy it himself.
This is also the Vlive when he talks about his vacation in Paris and coming back in time for Jungkook's birthday before heading off again to Hawaii the following morning. He also talked about going to Russia in the same vacation period. He certainly made the most of the extended break in 2019.
Most of his birthday was probably spent on the plane back to South Korea. The members again posted birthday greetings. Jungkook posted the following pictures with the text, "Happy Birthday Jiminie hyung! And I’m sorry. HappyBday Jimin. I’m Really Sorry. Sorry. Sorry Once Again. There’s really nothing cool about these, I’m Sorry. It looks like you’re still sleeping, I’m sorry. You understand right I’m sorry. You are me I am you. So sorry."
Finally some other photos released to mark his birthday that year.

Barbie movies settings (including mentioned places that aren't the setting of the movie)
Nutcracker and Swan Lake - Russia. Based on Russian ballets, Tchaikovsky can be seen in a picture in Clara's house, Ivan has a Russian name and accent
Rapunzel - Germany
12 Dancing Princesses - Germany. Based on a Brothers Grimm story
Princess and the Pauper - England. Based on The Prince and the Pauper, which was set in England
Magic of Pegasus - Netherlands during winter. Annika is a Dutch name and several characters, including her, wear vaguely Dutch clothing. Other places that have been theorized are Scandinavia and Russia.
Fairytopia trilogy - Portugal. Elina mentions knowing Mariposa, who's from Spain, and is "cut off from Flutterfield".
Barbie Diaries - Malibu, California
Island Princess - Italy. Names such as Rosella, Antonio, Luciana, and Ariana already tell us a lot, but the sunny weather, the characters all having tans, and some of the architecture also indicate this.
Christmas Carol - London, England
Three Musketeers - Paris, France
Diamond Castle - Europe, likely Germany/France, and/or Greece. Liana and Alexa wear stereotypically European dresses, the house looks like a traditional French cottage, but the Muses wear togas and the Diamond Castle itself looks vaguely Greek temple-ish on the inside.
Thumbelina - United States. Updated the setting and time period to the 2000s, clearly not in Denmark.
Fashion Fairytale - Paris, France
Mermaid Tale - Malibu, California
Mariposa - Spain. Also because of the accents.
Mermaid Tale 2 - Australia (the Ambassadors are however coded as Korean, African, Brazilian, and Russian), maybe New Zealand (Aquellia is implied to be near it)
Fairy Secret - Malibu, California (Gloss Angeles is another dimension)
Princess Charm School - Europe. No indication as to where "Gardania" is. However, most speaking Charm School students are from other places (Hadley is from South America, Isla is from Japan, Portia is from Scotland, and Josette is from Africa)
Princess and the Popstar - Monaco. Meribella looks like Monaco, with it's small status and how rich it is. Also Amelia mentions her grandma knowing the King of Spain.
Mariposa and the Fairy Princess - Malta. Shimmervale is "across Fairytopia", and the British accents of many people, as well as several dark haired background fairies, some with light skin, some with dark skin, a common feature of Maltese people.
Pink Shoes - United States, France, Russia (The ballet world uses Giselle, a French ballet, and Swan Lake)
Pony Tale - Switzerland
Pearl Princess - Denmark. A mermid story with some similarities to The Little Mermaid.
Secret Door - Europe (Zinnia is another dimension)
Princess Power - Europe or an alternate reality America, or somehwere in the near distant future
Starlight Adventure - Space, in the future
Great Puppy Adventure - Willows, Wisconsin
Puppy Chase - Hawaii
Rock N Royals - Europe (with campers from other European places: Sloane from Scotland, maybe her two friends are American as they resemble Dua Lipa and Halle Bailey vaguely, Aubray from Ireland, Genevieve from England, Svetlana Petranova from Russia)
Spy Squad - Los Angeles, California
Video Game Hero - United States, "Japan". Her video game is heavily Japanese inspired, with animesque characters and Nintendoesque visuals.
Dolphin Magic - Malibu, California
Princess Adventure - Europe
Lost Birthday - United States
Big City Big Dreams - New York
Mermaid Power - Malibu, California

Hey, do you know when exactly jimin's video from the paris club was leaked? Was it before him going back to Seoul where he celebrated jk's b'day with his friends or was it after his trip back to Seoul when he celebrated the b'day?
I remember but memories are a bit confusing because of timezones.
Almost everything about Jimin's travels was posted pretty much on real time while he was in France and then Russia as well. People in Hawaii didn't really leak anything about him while he was there.
If I recall correctly, Jimin was first seen in Paris on Wednesday or Thursday (I think - timezones and all). The next night first a video of him walking around in the pub came out, and later they posted the video where they were doing that forehead flick game. I really wanna say it was Thursday, but it could've been Wednesday too. I know for sure it wasn't Friday, though. Jungkook's birthday was on Saturday night later that week. I do remember perfectly well that it was Sunday at around 1pm for me (so Monday 1am in Korea) when Jimin posted JK's photo on twitter. Which meant the gathering had happened Sunday late at night. And it was later found out that it might've taken place at zzinu's house.
So, yes. It was posted before his birthday. Basically everything people saw him do in Paris was posted almost as immediately as it happened. Jimin was in Paris for only three days, then he went back to Seoul, stopped by Jungkook's, slept and took another plane the next morning. He talked about his itinerary a little in his birthday live from Saudi Arabia in October 2019.

What knowledge cursed you?
Okay so, you know the english national anthem ''God Save The Queen'', yes? Well allegedly, it was written first in France.
Let me take you back to abouttt 1685 or 1886. The then king, Louis XIV, had a large painful ache in a part of his body. Where?
His fucking ass.
Anal fistulas were fairly common ailments back then. supposedly they were caused by horseback riding, which of course a king would do a lot of. So Louis called in the royal doctors and asked them for help. Unfortunately, back then, medicine mostly consisted of blood-letting, prayers, and enemas. It was decided Louis would need surgery, which most upperclass doctors didn't do because of the high death rate.
Enter Charles-Francois Felix. A barber-surgeon. Back then, barbers would often do surgeries like teeth pulling along with their haircutting services because, well, poor people didn't have many other choices for medical treatment. So Felix takes a look at the king's ass and sees ''yep sire, that's an abscess, and that probably fucking hurts.''
Felix is of course TERRIFIED, because this is the fucking KING. if the wound gets infected and the king dies because of him, he's headed straight for the cellars (not the guillotine, the revolution hasn't happened yet). So he asks to ''borrow'' some ''volunteers'' to practice on. For the next six months, Felix does this surgery on men with the same condition. He develops new tools, new methods, and some of his approximately 75 patients even survive!
So during those six months, it is said that one of two things happened. Either, one, King Louis's wife Maria Theresa of Spain commissioned a song to aid her husband in the surgery, or two, the song was written by a teacher in a nearby girl's school as a prayer for the king to survive the surgery. After, he visited the school and had it sung to him personally which I'm sure he appreciated.
Either way: the song originated around the time of Louis's ASS SURGERY. which he survived btw and it greatly advanced the medical field in france so net positive.
so, SUPPOSEDLY, a few years later (1714 to be exact), a composer named Handel is on a trip to Paris where he hears 'God Save The King'. Presumably on the radio or something. He took the song back to the UK, and had it translated. Then sometime around 1746 it took off and became much more popular until it became the national anthem! The UK wasn't the only country to do this apparently. Switzerland, Russia, even fucking Hawaii apparently took the song and used it? No idea if that last one is true.
TL;DR: God Save The Queen, England's national anthem, was originally written as a prayer so that the French King Louis XIV would survive surgery on his ASS. ENJOY THAT INFORMATION!
#asks#anon#history#no idea how real this is i read quite a few conflicting stories about the song's origin#but i choose to believe that this is the truth because it's hilarious#long post

History
January 29, 1891 - Hawaii proclaimed Liliuokalani as its queen. Renowned for her song Aloha Oe, she had a reign of only four years until she was forced to abdicate in 1895 under pressure from powerful businessmen.
January 29, 1916 - During World War I, the first aerial bombings of Paris by German zeppelins took place.
January 29, 1919 - The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (Prohibition Amendment) was ratified. For nearly 14 years, until December 5, 1933, the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages were illegal in the United States. The Amendment had the unexpected result of causing enormous growth of organized crime which provided bootleg liquor to thirsty Americans.
Birthday - Common Sense author Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was born in Thetford, England. His pamphlet, published in 1776, provided inspiration to undecided Americans that a new nation, independent from Britain, might eventually become "…an asylum for mankind!" He served in the Continental Army and observed the hardships of American troops fighting the world's most powerful army. He then published The Crisis series pamphlets which began by stating, "These are the times that try men's souls." He refused to accept the profits from his writings and wound up destitute after the Revolution.
Birthday - William McKinley (1843-1901) the 25th U.S. President was born in Niles, Ohio. He was elected in 1896 and re-elected in 1900. Early in his second term, on September 6, 1901, he was shot and mortally wounded by an anarchist at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, and died eight days later.
Birthday - Russian playwright Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was born in Taganrog, Russia. His works included Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard.

Affluence and privilege were a birthright granted to those chosen to walk the halls of Château de Ensorceler. World renown for its historical and architectural significance; the château once held the esteemed distinction of being the residence of Lord Marques, a noble Frenchman of grand influence and wealth.
Crafted in the early 1500′s and tucked three hours away from the center of fashion and the elitist culture birthed in Paris, Château de Ensorceler carved out its place along the river Cher, near the small village of Chenonceaux.
In the late 1800s the dawn of a new era began and the Marques family opened their doors to those who shared their appreciation for status and possessed a desire to cultivate relationships with others who shared the same ideals and wealth.
Château de Ensorceler rebranded itself as a destination for relaxation and the preparation for the youngest members of illustrious families to make their grand introduction into society. For some this preparation came in the form of gentle fine tuning, rebranding, or the much needed guided therapy to address emotional and behavioral concerns.
If the stars aligned, these future social climbers emerged from Ensorceler with potential, marriages, alliances, and the promise of sustained wealth. A beacon to those who mourned the loss of open indulgence in greed and excess, the château unintentionally became something much more, a seat of power in a hedonistic new world order.

The double standards in this fandom are INSANE. People are praising Taehyung left and right for being “iconic” at that after party while they were disrespecting Jimin and calling him every name in the book for going to a party in Paris and Jungkook as well for hanging out with his female tattoo artist and army have the guts to say “it was in 2019 now we have a much more positive voice”. Positive voice where ? This fandom has become even more unhinged since the pandemic started.
- The double standards of this fandom. Like I’m happy armys are chill about tae being at a club but I’m salty and upset bc when jimin did armys turned their back on him. I legit saw someone say the reason they hate jimin is bc of that moment? I wasn’t here when it happened but I heard it was hell. But why tf did jimin get so much hate for having fun just like tae was? They always say tae gets the most hate but nah this fandom sided with him more
---
I guess people had a thought or two about double standards these past weeks 😅
It's a bit hard for me to try and think about how I felt in 2019, which is why it's taken me so long to answer this. It was really stressful and frustrating but it's been a while since I've just given up and accepted that's how it'll be. I don't get riled up about these things like I used to.
First, the easiest statement to deny: Taehyung never was, never is and probably never will be the one who gets the most hate. He doesn't get hate at all. Period. His fans think me saying he likes pussy is hate. Just go figure.
Even jikookers turned against Jimin during the three days (THREE DAYS 😭) he was in Paris because they thought he wouldn't be with JK for Jungkook's birthday. There was some Korean Jikooker (one who posted a photo of Jimin at the airport when coming from or going to Russia) who later said Jungkook was hanging out with mijoo because Jimin had been travelling. Did she think they were together and Jungkook couldn't keep his dick in his pants for a week or what? Make it make sense.
I want to point out a slight difference. We had almost real time "news" of Jimin. Let's say he arrived in Paris on a Tuesday, pictures of him were tweeted on Wednesday. And so on. This happened when he was in Vladivostok too, pictures and videos were posted almost inmediately after being taken. The only place where he actually wasn't seen a lot was Hawaii. Meanwhile with JK, it was all past events. The CCTV photo, the tattoos, we all found out about that a couple of weeks after they had actually happened.
I can't explain why but yes, there is a difference in reacting to real-time developments vs. reacting to "old" news. Personally, because it was real time and I actually saw the situation escalating from one minute to another, the way people reacted to Jimin in Paris was worse for me. It felt like a snowball getting bigger and bigger for absolutely no reason.
Now that I think about it, I think I literally blocked out of my mind what people were saying about Jungkook those days 😭😭😭😭 #darktimes it feels quite close to a literal trauma ngl. I remember thinking about him and everything, so much.. so so much my head hurt. My friends and I would talk on the phone trying to put together a timeline and connect the dots and try to discover if we were being lied to or what actually happened. I'm also pretty sure another reason I don't remember much is because I stalked a lot of japanese and Korean Twitter accounts, because they were posting lots of photos and tidbits of "info", some of it made sense and some were a stretch. But of course I didn't exactly understood what they were saying, so maybe that's why I don't remember much of what people said about Jungkook. It just wasn't in my language. People from my region were sooooo incredibly okay with the whole thing btw, they kept making jokes about it, they really took it so well. I don't remember seeing a lot of negativity in my language. So yeah, the backlash I saw was mostly from Japanese/Korean speaking antis because those were the accounts I was checking. I honestly didn't look or see tweets in english talking about it.
In hindsight, I wonder if there was so much mess because it was BTS first "break". So people were curious about where were they, who were they with, what were they doing. It still doesn't justify the way they tried to control Jimin.
Jikookers tho, masters at deflection, just stayed quiet and acted like nothing had happened.
And I guess that was another element to the whole thing: shippers. Why would Jimin go travel across the world without his partner. Why would Jimin hang out with random girls at a bar if he has a boyfriend. Why would Jungkook hug a woman if he's in a relationship with a different person. Why, why, why. Even if Namjoon had the same amount of fans Jimin and Jungkook have, the fact that he's not in any ship like that would've "protected" him from having his every move so scrutinized.
For Jungkook, the way I experienced the whole thing, it was a clash between the idea people had of Jungkook, and the real life Jungkook. Think of 2018 - early 2019 up until even June, the personification of baby star candy and the contrast with September 2019 Jungkook. The tattoos, the people he hung out with, the "type" of girl (!!!!!!!) he was hugging and rumoured to be dating. It was a lot. It's not surprising that he got the most backlash from Japanese and Korean people, even his own fans. I have two friends, both are Jungkook biased jikookers, we weren't surprised about the tattoos, we knew he was to get them one day; but I remember both of them saying stuff like "I would've never imagined he would date someone like her what happened to IU?!?!?" but I promise none of it was said or thought in a bad way, we were all just seeing a "new side" of him.
And then, probably (in my opinion) the most damaging misconception, the thing that really backfired against him, was that he was so casual about skinship with a woman when, according to the fandom, he was always terrified and disgusted of girls!!!!!!!!
As for Jimin, I think the fandom (international, at least) has this weird idea of him being a manwhore or whatever the word is, so that was also a factor in the whole thing. They thought he possibly couldn't be in a different country unless he was looking for people to have sex with or up to something shady. I know, he's irresistible. It was almost as if people were actively looking for reasons to "cancel" Jimin. Again; if people had this misconceptions of Namjoon, he probably also would've been scrutinized and people would've tried to prove he's a certain way like, "see what he's doing, i knew there was something shady about him."
Now with Taehyung, first of all, yes, the fandom is extremely different. Many of the people who were here in 2019 have left the fandom and the rest, we already know better. Secondly, I don't see many preconceived ideas of Taehyung that would make the fandom react in any of those two ways they reacted with Jimin and Jungkook.
They think he's queer, he was at a "queer" party ☑️
We all knew he's interested in fashion, he went to a fashion event ☑️
His friendship with Bogum was of public knowledge ☑️
Even him not waving or smiling to the fans was celebrated because the fandom already associates this "savage" and idgaf personality with him. ☑️
So pretty much all the boxes were ticked. It all checked out and that's why nobody had anything bad to say about him and why nobody cared.
If it had been Jimin, of course he was at a party with naked women. He probably went back to the hotel with all of them and they had sex while drugged.
If it had been Jungkook, no, you probably confused him with someone else, he wouldn't be at a party with girls, much less naked ones. Boobs are gross to him.
Once again, it also goes to show who's running the narratives in the fandom. Jimin went to a bar almost four years ago and the story has been so twisted and changed, it turned into him picking up minors, paying escorts, doing cocaine, who knows what else. I can't believe they're still lying about it to this day.
Anyways, I'm really tired of Taehyung stans. They don't have a moment of peace in their hearts. The way they just act as if Taehyung doesn't chain smoke even while being on schedules, but God forbid Jimin ever gets drunk in his free time. Let's not even get into how nicotine IS a drug, so by their own rules I should be allowed to call Taehyung a drug addict. He most likely smokes weed, too. Reality checks are already all lined up and up and coming for them, I'm afraid.

It has occurred to me that I should probably... publish more of the random, insane things that go through my head rather than keep them locked up in my private digital notebooks forever. So with that said, please have this thing nobody asked for,
PREPARE
FOR MY GREAT EUROSLANDER POST
(disclaimer obvious satire piece is satire)
Directory of Europe (as written by an ignorant US tourist)
BRITISH ISLES, aka the only places we care about (wait they're islands?? I thou--)
England: Harry Potter Land and so London, very Posh, quite barmy out innit, god save the queen King, I want to hop into a queue and buy some fish and chips and good english tea, *waves the union jack aggressively*
(i feel so bri’ish!!1!11 did i do the accent right [is speaking cockney])
Ireland: EIRISH ((does several bad (scottish)ireland imitations)) and so beer and drienk, my grendfather was born ‘ere so I understind everythin’ aboot this playce
N. Ireland: I understand nothing about this place
Scotland: Aye Laddie, kilts and bagpipes and castles and ACCENTS (we're so scottish)
(wait you guys sound irish--)
Wales: tbh we didn't know you existed until we looked up the funny nonsense words
what do you mean there are native languages spoken in ENGland that aren’t english
THE SOUTH (Boonies)
Spain: Mexico 2.0
wtf do you mean it's more similar to california, california speaks Only English, a spanish-speaking country could never be as advanced
Italy: PIZZA (and old people) (and fascists), florida if floridians ate proper food
Greece: boring ruins and so poor, none of this was ever significant
Portugal: tbh we thought you were a territory of Brazil
Turkey: Earthquakes and Muslims (terrorists) (barbarians) (Iran begins here)
THE EAST (Mordor)
Hungary: We know nothing about it except that it's led by that one guy all our Conservatives really like for some reason, but hey he's White and European and Will Smith did a dance video in Budapest so they’re probably fine, also LOL they must be Hungry
Russia: Very Bad And Mean, We Boycott You For 1000 Years :( (but actually we still buy all your stuff and want your tourist traps and money)
Ukraine: *waves flags* (we did not care about you before but you're White and European and frankly Russia just isn't playing to our interests anymore, so we'll back your war while we look the other way on all the ones in those Non-White Countries)
Poland and like 70 other countries: Witcher 3 and commies
THE WEST (Civilised Countries)
Germany: yeah sorry like 85% of us still think you’re nazis, you're sort of just screwed on that front
France: PARIS and EIFFEL TOWER and ROMANCE (and also rude people)
Belgium+Luxembourg+Switzerland: Alps and croissants and swiss cheese and yodelling (and also rude people)
The Netherlands: 67,342 people skipped over this country because "the netherlands" sounds like the sticks
(we later figured out you were the dutch and we apologized that you have to live out in the sticks)
Austria: The Sound of Music
THE NORDICS (Socialist Paradise/Hell, speaks Weird Shit)
Denmark: we thought it was in America (the Actual America, not the rest of it) like all other good companies are tbh, but LEGOS
(you mean nothing to us otherwise)
Sweden: The ones who will take us, but too liberal and socialist high taxes and immigrant for our tastes (ALL (nonwhite) immigrants are illegal) (enlightened Conservatives STAY OUT)
Finland: The forgotten edge of the world, everyone here lives with eskimos and polar bears
Iceland: Hawaii vacation but Cold and Exotic
Norway: So rich and socialist, but they're White and European and sell oil so we can't knock it tbh
Greenland: the USA definitely claims this. we just haven't taken it back yet because there are absolutely no colonies living on this useless rock
(however once we begin shipping all the illegal immigrants out like how our lord and saviour Ron Desanctimonious has shown us, we will require it once again)
tune in next time for my post where I do all 50 states of the USA and destroy half the world as a result
#euroslander#worldslander#satire#shower thoughts#the weird shit that hangs around in my head until I have to post it
