Jimin's Post ❇️
아미 여러분 9주년입니다. 방탄이 태어난 날이고 여러분을 처음 뵙게 된 소중한 날인데 오늘 같이 소중한 날 여러분을 뵈어서 정말 다행이에요. 하고 싶은 말도 많고 전하고 싶은 감정도 되게 많은데 한해 한해가 지나가면 갈 수록 같은말인데 감사하다 죄송하다 사랑한다 이런 단순한 말들의 무게감이 더욱 무거워지는 것 같아요. 그래도 말로 표현할 수 있는말이 이런말들 밖에 없네요. 언제나 저희가 공연을 한다고 하면 달려와주시기에 보고싶을 때 보게 해주어서 감사합니다. 항상 여러분을 기다리게 하며, 여러분의 응원보다 저희의 보답의 크기가 작기에 죄송합니다. 그럼에도 항상 옆에 있어주시기에 정말 많이 사랑합니다. 시간이 정말 무색하게도 빠르다고 느끼다가도 지나온길을 되돌아보면 정말 많은 것을 같이하고 느꼈다고 생각해요. 앞으로 어떠한 추억을 또 쌓아갈지 무슨일이 있을지 어떠한 일들로 울고 웃을지 기대되고 또 기대됩니다. 가볍지 않은 말로 전합니다. 저희는 여러분과 가능한 , 최대한 오랬동안 함께하고 싶습니다. 그렇게 할 수 있게 저희가 더 좋은 모습으로 보답하도록 하겠습니다. 저희의 음악 공연 그리고 저희를 사랑해주셔서 언제나 진심으로 감사드립니다.

ARMYs, it is our 9 year anniversary. 
This is the precious day when BTS was born and we were able to meet you for the first time. 
I am really glad that we were able to see you today, on such a precious day.
There are a lot of things I want to say and there are a lot of emotions I want to convey, but as the years go on, I say the same things. 
“Thank you”, “I am sorry”,“I love you”— the weight of these simple words is starting to feel heavier.
However, these are the only words I have to express how I feel. 
For always running to us whenever we announced performances, for letting us see you whenever we missed you, I am so grateful to you.
For always making you wait, for the fact that what we give back to you is smaller than the support you give us, I am sorry.
Regardless, for always staying by our side, I love you so much.
While I feel like time has gone by so quickly, looking back at the path that we’ve walked, I feel like we've experienced a lot and felt a lot of emotions together.
I'm really looking forward to the memories we'll make in the future, to find out what will happen, what kind of things will make us cry and laugh.
Here are my words to you, I do not say them lightly.
We want to be with you for as long as we possibly can.
In order for that to happen, we will strive to repay you with even better versions of ourselves.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for always loving our music, our performances and us.

V's Comments 💬 on ARMY's Posts ❇️
💜: 5분뒤 방탄 회식!! V: 아 하는구나.. 진짜 회식이에요 기대 많이 하지마세요 (https://www.weverse.io/bts/feed/1694932711535027)
💜: Bangtan dinner party in 5 minutes!!
V: Ah so that's happening.. It's really a dinner party*, please don't expect too much
(T/N: *The term used in Korean is '회식' , which is specifically the practice of employees of a particular company having dinner together and is thus different from a more social dinner party amongst friends.)
💜: 힘들때 힘들다고 편히 말 못하고 쉬고 싶은데 쉬고 싶다고 말 하기가 어렵고 자신이 가장 청춘일 20대를 꿈을 위해, 또 팬들을 위해 바쳐왔고 달려왔을 여러분들이 얼마나 힘들었을지 20대를 거쳐왔고 또 밟고있는 분들이라면 직접 말하지 않아도 아미들은 이미 알 거에요 너무 고생했고 잘 해왔고 쉬어도 괜찮아요 연예인을 떠나 방탄소년단 분들도 이 현대사회를 살아가는 청년 중 한 명 일테니까요 물론 어딜 가나 모든 사람들의 마음을 얻을 수 없기에 이러한 방탄의 솔직한 얘기를 반대하는 사람들도 있을 수 있지만, 진짜 아미분들은 방탄소년단 분들의 의견을 충분히 이해하고 또 함께 눈물 흘려줄거라고 전 믿어요 충분히 쉬고 또 쉬고 오세요 :) 저희도 더 열심히 살아내고 하고싶은 일 하며 우리가 또 다시 만날 날을 기다리고 있을게요 아 ! 저는 방탄소년단을 좋아하는 것도 맞지만, 한 인간으로서의 여러분들도 좋아합니다 우리모두 위대하고 엄청난 인간은 아닐지라도 누군가에게 힘이 되는 존재는 될 수 있다고 생각해요 높은 위치가 많이 힘겨울 때도 있으시겠지만 그만큼 여러분들의 노래에 위로를 받고 감동받은 사람이 많다고 생각해보는건 어떨까요?ㅎ:) 저희도 늘 감사합니다 사랑해요💐 V: 정말 감사해요 (https://www.weverse.io/bts/feed/1694939310730531)
You couldn’t say that you were having a hard time when you were. 
It was hard for you to say that you wanted to rest when you wanted to.
You dedicated your 20s, the peak of your youth,
to your dreams, and to your fans. You’ve been running constantly and it must have been so hard for you. As people who crossed their 20s and those still in that age, even if you can’t directly tell us how hard it was for you, ARMYs already know. 
You’ve worked so hard and been through so much. You’ve done so well. It’s okay to rest now. 
Because outside of your lives as celebrities, you’re just one of the many young people living through these modern times. 
Of course, you can’t please everyone. There will probably be people who are opposed to such honest words from Bangtan, but I believe that real ARMYs will fully understand your feelings and shed tears with you together.
Please take lots and lots of rest before you come back :) 
We will also use that time to live life to the fullest and do the things we want to do, 
and we will be waiting for the day we can meet again. 
Ah! 
I do like BTS, but I also like who you are as people off-stage. 
All of us can’t be incredible, extraordinary people but I do think that we can all be a source of strength for someone. 
Standing at such heights must have been so hard so much of the time but it meant that your songs comforted and moved that many people. How about thinking that way? Heh :) 
We are also always grateful. 
We love you. 💐
V: Thank you so much

우리 행복해요 7명 모두가 좋아하는 것도 싫어하는 것도 성격 성향 템포가 다 다르지만 아미생각 하나는 다 똑같아서 달방은 해야했어요. 10년 동안 항상 위를 보고 나아가다 보니 무서웠고 팀을 위해 나를 포기했어야 했고 그 안에 행복 뒤에 항상 오는 지침과 힘듦은 셀 수 없었어요 이제는 오랫동안 방탄으로 남아있기위한 우리들의 건강한 발걸음의 시작이니 그 모습도 아미들이 정말 좋아하실거라 믿어요 아미와 방탄은 보랏줄이 이어져 있으니 끊어지지 않고 색의 진함이 오래가도록 오래오래 봐요 우리는 아미를 정말 많이 사랑해요 (https://www.weverse.io/bts/artist/1694940821489655)
We are happy.
The 7 of us all have different likes and dislikes, personalities, temperaments and move to different tempos, but our thoughts about ARMY are the same for all of us, so we had to do Run! BTS. 
For ten years, constantly looking up and moving that way was scary, and I had to give up on myself for the sake of the team. There was happiness in that but it was always accompanied by an immeasurable amount of exhaustion and struggle. We are now starting to take healthy steps towards being able to stay as Bangtan for a long time, and I believe that ARMY will really like that side to us as well. 
Bangtan and ARMY are tied together by a purple string that won’t break. Let’s see each other for a long, long time, so that the colour of the string stays as bold as it is now. We really love ARMY a lot.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"
just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible
#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order#at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers#90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent#like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries#but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate#and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something#cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare#and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity#and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media#and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons#and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators#instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period#anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives#so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world#(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin#oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value#and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the#important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

the question, you see, is not ‘is it too ooc for this character to cry’ but rather ‘what circumstances would push this character to cry’
this is the whump wisdom, go forth and make that character cry

trans women are everywhere and are so eager to be seen and heard but only if they feel safe around you. if you hardly ever have trans women interacting with you, especially online, then consider there might be a reason for that and you should address it

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -
I am fine with "the audience" -
downloading my fics
printing my fics
copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics
sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3
making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss
doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc
I am not fine with "the audience"
doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity
feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever
Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.
Enjoy the fandom things.

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.
That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.
That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.
That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.
That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.
That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.
That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.
None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.
I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.
If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.
Celebrate fan work!
To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

so in an attempt to actually use positive thinking, anytime i fuck up and my brain reacts as if ive cause a minor apocalyptic event, i compare my fuck up to the 4 minute fuck up committed by the crew of the uss william d porter.
and only today, as i was having to explain what happened to my mom when i was explaining the whole comparison thing, did i realise that most people dont know about it and ive decided that needs to change because its objectively hilarious.
...which is a weird thing to say about an event that occured on a warship in 1943, specifically november 14th.
see the uss william d porter was a fletcher-class destroyer but you dont need to know what that means, just that she had guns that went bang bang and that she was escorting another ship, the uss iowa, to cairo.
while they were on their way there, they performed some gun trials like testing the anti-aircraft guns or the torpedos. and while they were running a torpedo drill, the crew of the porter managed to fire a live torpedo straight at the iowa which you know, in terms of a list of things to do while escorting a ship, shooting a torpedo at them is not on that list.
especially if the president of the united states is on board.
yeah so fdr was on board and the gun trials were actually his idea, and part of the trials was that they were conducted under radio silence.
and that means the crew of the porter couldnt just call the iowa to be like "move out the way, we accidentally shot a torpedo at you."
but they did have signal lamps and you know, the signalman on board was trained to signal this exact kind of message.
...and uh never mind, the signalman did manage to successfully tell the iowa that a torpedo was coming toward them but wasnt as successful when it came to the direction the torpedo was coming from.
not all hope is lost though because the signalman could still use the signal lamp to correct his previous mistake and-, never mind, he announced that the porter was reversing, which she wasnt.
yeah so at catastrophic mistake number 3, they broke radio silence to warn the iowa and she managed to turn out of the way just in time which meant no one got hurt. and even though the inquiry into the incident led to chief torpedoman (fantastic job title btw) lawton dawson being sentences to hard labour, fdr intervened and waved away his sentence, saying it was all an accident.
but yeah, so thats my new measure for "how much did i really fuck up?" and when i compared accidentally picking up a pencil case without a tag on it in wilko, turns out it was a very minor fuck-up. yes, the cashier had to ask another worker to grab a duplicate so they could scan the barcode, but i didnt nearly kill the president during wartime via accidental friendly fire

Personally I think that Azula should have been redeemed simply so that she can become Zuko's horrible little advisor who whispers evil little plans to him so that he can do the exact opposite
