THEY DID THIS SHIT TOO, AND SO HAVE I, AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IT WILL PROPEL ME TO PLACES I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO THINK OF

[[note to self: there is nothing wrong with the choices i have made - not this year, not in the past 5 years, not in this life]]

A1 : 1896년 유학생아리랑 1.2.3 - 노래:이희철. 안정식. 양손(?)(2007년 정창관 CD음반) YouTube video by 정창관의 아리랑1

Original Arirang recording in 1896 was titled "Love Song: Ar-ra-rang": youtu.be/fsLKVakaJFw

For anyone in/visiting the Washington DC area, the orig 6 cylinders of the recording are stored at the Library Of Congress in their Folklife Reading Room.

*BTS added their 7th to the orig 6 in the animation

and hell yeah you can imagine the last chapter of "the quotient of love" is getting harder and harder to write the closer and closer we get to comeback and more and more information starts dropping

<333 glad it resonated, star!

we can do it. let's just hold our own hand and go 😭😭 because we're all holding each other's hands too 😭😭😭

"our shared language of life" 😭😭😭

LETSGEDDIT, SHORTCAKE!!!!!

how did they know exactly what I need to hear in this moment of my life 😭

(and if SWIM is about resolve, about the waves of life, and pushing through - then no wonder the song they chose for the concert stage in the animated video was Not Today)

and yoongi's description of SWIM as powerful drums, lo-fi synths, warm electric guitar is already making the hairs on my arms stand. it's not just imagining their sounds, it's the words he chose to describe them too. it's like a driving force, of pushing through, and they shaped that in sound.

now i know why the universe brought me back to therapy these few weeks. i feel so seen and rewarded for the ways i've chosen to live over the last few years. and by god i've grit my teeth and chosen to live, and first i lived scared, then i learnt how to live bravely again

fuck yeah i deserve this

are you normal or are you sitting on the floor literally keening with tears over namjoon and hoseok's spotify messages about courage, choosing to swim through the tough tides of life because you love life so much, and choosing to go at your own pace, and doing the best in the place where you are?

shortcake i just watched the message myself and im crying too... "to do your best in your own place" and to live authentically as yourself instead of resisting... it's what i've been trying to choose too.

same ❣️

and i tell you, i've always wished i could experience this kind of soulmate type experience.

and how lucky i am to witness it once in my lifetime 😭😭😭😭 and to get to participate in it, no matter how remotely...

it's just my thoughts! i appreciate that you like them 🙏🏻

u r bulletproof, bb 👉🏻👉🏻

the animators made his relaxed, open expressions so clear 😭

they must have been FREEZING aka nipples were nipping

BTS as maxims:

HS: It’s better to be safe than sorry
YG: What goes around, comes around
TH: A picture is worth a thousand words
SJ: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
JK: Strike while the iron is hot
NJ: The pen is mightier than the sword
JM: You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem

In Korean mythology, the Big Dipper is known as Bukdu Chilseong (북두칠성, "Seven Stars of the Northern Sky") and holds a central place in traditional cosmology as a powerful deity controlling human fate, longevity, fortune, and disasters. (From KBS world)

for my sanity can this please not be true? i need to not explode into a million pieces about how much bangtan are intensely devoted to each other and feel the need to make everything meaningful

Oh and the third recording Ive found is by Yoongi!
