girlfriend sets me up on a date with the new guy from her office. tells us both basic details about each other so we’re going in blind. tells me i’ll love him and i’ll find out why eventually
first date last evening and turns out this delicious looking māori man is a hardcore bts rap line fanboy with a playlist that’s filled with agust d, rm and j-hope tracks that he claims to have on repeat. he bought tickets for himself and his army sisters to the melbourne concerts. also, he knows the lore behind ‘lachimolala’ and ‘bonobonoya’
eu acho a coisa mais linda do mundo pq ele só é assim pq cresceu em um lugar em que pode se sentir confortável pra se expressar dessa forma.
mostra que os meninos nunca repreenderam ele por isso e ele nunca precisou mascarar 🥹🥹

Comment on fics that don't have any comments (or have just a few of them) without caring about how old the fic is because that'll be the reason for the writer to keep going. Just one comment on a fic is a blessing.

🏟 Muchos ARMY internacionales nos preguntan por qué es tan importante que BTS se presente en el Estadio Nacional.
La respuesta es simple: es el estadio más grande e importante de Chile, con una capacidad aproximada de 60.000 a 65.000 personas para conciertos. Es el recinto donde históricamente se realizan los espectáculos de mayor magnitud del país y ha recibido a artistas como The Rolling Stones, U2, Madonna, Coldplay, Paul McCartney, Roger Waters, Iron Maiden, Rod Stewart, Shakira, Daddy Yankee, Karol G, Dua Lipa, Los Prisioneros, Los Bunkers, entre muchos otros.
BTS es un artista de estadios. Su producción, la cantidad de asistentes y el impacto que genera requieren un recinto de estas características. Trasladar los conciertos a otro estadio significaría reducir considerablemente la capacidad, afectar la producción del espectáculo y dejar a miles de personas sin la posibilidad de asistir.
Por eso ARMY Chile no está pidiendo un privilegio. Está pidiendo que se respete el recinto que fue anunciado y vendido desde el principio, y que se agoten todas las alternativas para que BTS pueda presentarse en el escenario que corresponde a un artista de su magnitud.

your tea for the day: the way the industry calls army “bots” is another form of misogyny, sexism, racism, and xenophobia btw.
because it’s easier to call us *fake* than acknowledge what women organizing at scale for seven korean men actually looks like.
(long tweet warning)
I mean the following sincerely. One of the significant advantages to owning your own business is that you can run that business how you wish.
If the new owners of @lastfm do not want ARMY to use their service, that is their perogative.
If the new owners are happy to lose the revenue from Pro subscriptions and to lose ad revenue due to the lower amount they will be able to charge for ads due to lower engagement numbers, that is their decision and their right.
I wish them well and I mean that sincerely.
Now. Here is why I say the new owners of Last do not want ARMY to use their service.
Yesterday, I noticed that my streams weren’t syncing with Last. I assumed it was some kind of tech issue on my end. Checking twitter showed that others were having the same issue. Then someone (I forget who or I would credit) found the tweet and reply below.
That made it clear it was not random. I decided to test to see what was happening since I am not a bot and my coding days are long past and I could not write a script if I had to do so.
I pulled up the Last website and watched in real time as my scrobbles were deleted. It would show a BTS track that I was sitting there playing as being scrobbled. As soon as the next track started, the prior scrobble was deleted.
Last was treating me, an actual human being who was actually listening to the music, as a bot.
I then checked to see who owns Last because there is at least arguably shareholder action for purposefully alienating a major portion of user base to say nothing of making a change that resulted in data being inaccurate.
It turns out that Last was sold on May 27, 2026. It further turns out that Last was sold to a group of Last staffers. See below. I have not been able to see purchase price or any information as to how it was financed, though sales price may be in Paramount/Skydance’s next set of quarterlies. For some further context, CBS bought Last in 2004 for $280 million USD and it was a cash purchase.
Which brings us back to where I started. If the new owners want to cut off their nose to spite their face, that is 100% their right to do so. I wish them well.
I also will not use a service that does not want me there. That is my right.
I will be interested to see how this turns out. /fin
“my main takeaway from bts compared to other artists is that they are - and I cannot stress this enough - the most professional artists I’ve worked with in my life.
most artists you interact with are children. they’re people who got money when they were young, or came from money or they’re just stupid a** people in general.
bts is completely professional, completely straight focused. always working.”
