This really needs to be a...
Bangtan Weekly Report
They really are pulling us kicking and screaming along with them. If we choose to go, that is.
Normalizing naked Bangtan...so much more exposed skin these days. Smoking Bangtan (audible pearl clutching and gasping occurred)...vaping, whatever, we don't have to approve but it's not illegal. Cussing/swearing Bangtan... F-bombs flying from everyone EVEN JIMIN! Tattooed Bangtan... long gone are the days of using dishwashing gloves to conceal tattoos. Bangtan who wants to express themselves with even more explicit sensuality... Jimin having to forewarn us that we will see him being touched during a choreography (more pearl clutching omg). Bangtan who wants us to be more engaging and less vapid during the valuable and rare moments they choose to try to spend time with us...don't hold back Tae. Normalizing Bangtan enlisting in the military service, no matter how hard it is for us to send them off... our able-bodied sunshine:
They want to be raw... explicit... real humans. Imagine that?
They want us to be ok with them being the awesome and free artists that they WANT to be.
Army needs to grow up, act more mature and intelligent, be less alarmist, divisive and more open-minded. Still think it's scripted and fan service? Stay stuck in the past if you want, the rest of us will move on.
I know we think we are all these things because I see it on the daily everyone on their high horse on all platforms spouting their righteousness over everyone else. It's tiring y'all. Cultivate a little humility maybe? Stop judging petty, irrelevant shit.
Yoongi said so many things surrounding this album and the documentary but especially started kicking everyone in the teeth with Haegeum.
SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS, KING!
"Interpretation is free for all, out with the nonsense, freedom of expression, could be reason for somebody's death, could you still consider that freedom?"
"If your convictions are reflected in your judgement and speculations and you believe your freedom is on the same level as others' then don't hesitate, just get on board, liberation from all that's forbidden."
"This song's simply about freeing what's forbidden."
What is the most volatile forbidden thing? Bangtan being able to date openly in public like normal people. If only we can finally set that free? Bangtan being able to touch each other and other people... hell, just STAND next to another person... without a tsunami of jealousy from the outside world. If only we could erase that toxicity.
In the MV, Yoongi's "outlaw character" proceeds to go to his living space with his bag full of money, being pursued by "law and order." In his space he has everything and is "free" but of course what kind of freedom is that? He stares at the epitome of his life: a goldfish in a water tank.
Law and order being corrupt. The outlaw coming and taking without remorse.
"Slaves to capitalism, slaves to money, slaves to hatred and prejudice, slaves to YouTube, slaves to flexin'... selfishness and greed have gone off the rails."
"Everyone's been blinded by envy and jealousy, without realizing they're putting shackles on each other."
PREACH, KING!
We are all slaves to capitalism. You can't be sitting here reading this unless you are beholden to some capitalist technology company. None of this is free. But we can choose not to be slaves of hatred and prejudice.
My thought for the day (something very esoteric)...Yoongi killing Billboard with his chopsticks. BTS is here to stay motherfuckers. And they're gonna eat while they are here.

Day 5 of getting my sh!t together!
Hiii! So after a very eventful and festive weekend, I am here to continue my journey of getting my life together!!
Ahmm ahmm! guess what? I woke up sick today! Haha! Such a fun start to the week, right???
Wrong 🥲 extremely wrong! I feel like I'm dragging my body and there's no life left in me. I feel super exhausted and weak. My entire body is sore.
Anyways, so workout wasn't possible. It's a given. I skip workout with any valid excuse I can find. I know I'm not the best yoga student! But, I promise I'll continue once I feel better.
I had a very dull start to the day but I had to report for work. Also, we a bit of a celebratory evening snack and dinner due to a good news. So, that was definitely the highlight.
Here's what I ate today:
1)Coffee
Lunch:
Chicken Salad
Afternoon snack:
Fresh watermelon
Evening snack:
1) 1 baked roshogolla
2) Green tea
Dinner:
1)Tandoori Roti
2)Dry chilli chicken
3)Hariyali chicken kebab
4)Salad
This was definitely not a good day of trying to lose weight but it was more of what would make me happy today and if food tastes good, it's zero calories. Judge me all you want! 🥰😍
I am trying to lose weight because of a prior condition for which I had to get surgery and post operative treatment consisted of being on steroids for almost two years. As a result, I gained a lot of weight and I've lost 50% of that weight but the next 50% is being particularly tough. I also have to keep my condition in mind before doing anything so I can't do extreme diets or workouts. My goal right now is to be healthy and happy.
Oh, as I have a sore throat and allergies, I drank a cup of warm water before bed.
That's all for now. I'm on my way to watch episode 3 of Lovely Runner 🥺
But, before that, here's my song recommendation for the day!
If you haven't guessed it by now, I'm an ARMY 💜 hehe💜
