Bringing This Back In Honor Of The Upcoming Anniversary Of Take Two. If You're Interested In Melting

Bringing this back in honor of the upcoming anniversary of Take Two. If you're interested in melting into a puddle of ooey gooey love, here's a combo for you. Oh and you can add Closer Than This at the end as well.

Happy Festa month! I can't wait to see what we get!

QUICK COMBO:

PROMISE | LETTER | TAKE TWO

(Technically I've recommended this order before but now I have custom gifs!)

My thoughts on this QC:

Promise was always my ultimate favorite song and it killed me having to navigate to SoundCloud and not just have it in my spotify playlist (to help with the stats at least). I had a few weeks of joyful ignorance once it was made available on Spotify before FACE and Letter...

I don't think words exist to describe how much Letter speaks to my soul. I have never been a huge 'on repeat' person but i can NEVER listen to Letter just once. Each time it ends, i think that i didn't appreciate it properly and have to listen again...usually for quite a few iterations.

Take Two is a nice little cap to this combo. I just want to melt in a puddle of joy and love when listening to these songs.

(I cannot wait until the album version of Letter is on spotify. It's my only hope that one day it will be. For now, here's Jimin's live version.)

Run BTS: 066 | BTS in a Manga Cafe part 1

Original Air Date: 05 MAR 20179 Episode Length: 29:53 Total Parts: 2 YouTube English Subtitles: No Title Song: Idol

Synopsis: The guys are at a Manga cafe, completing various minigames on the same team to earn snacks.

Production: I love this concept but there are some definite execution problems. the people counting game is great, but it loses so much by having to blur the books. They should have worked out a rights deal or done something different. the fill-in-the-blank game was another good idea, i guess? Definitely not non-Manga-Reader-Friendly which is fine but only showing the clue to us for a brief flash? they easily could have done an overlay on the bottom of the screen to have the clue visible the whole time the guys were working on them... the menu game was just confusing and obviously not set up fairly in the first place

Endearment: I've said it before, and I'll say it again, i absolutely love seeing people excited by their joys and frivolous passions. It's clear all of these guys have some interest in manga and enjoyed having this as a concept.

Winner/Loser: see final part

Best Cheater: staff...prepping a book for the ppl counting challenge that gave them an advantage

Member Moments:

RM: RMs Naruto run was so heckin adorable

JN: Honestly shocked that Jin didn't take the Jin manga that Hobi found. Maybe he was thinking he NEEDED one that he was familiar with?

YG: Always good to hear Suga's passion for Slam Dunk

JH: Hobi is so entertaining when he's right about something. when he got that menu item and no one was listening to him, then they turned the answers all to him.

JM: Loving JM picking up on JKs singing of 21st century girl.

V: Tae being so passionate about that pokemon line section. he tried so hard!

JK: JK asking for the menu, he was stepping into his food-focus.

Bonus Content: Again, doesnt really feel like much extra. its interesting that they came to this specific cafe because VMin had been there before.

MUSE THEORIES

I want to hear every theory every one if you comes up with regarding MUSE. They've explicitly shown they want us to read deeper into it so I want to see EVERYTHING y'all come up with. No matter how delulu, abstract, or just plain wishful, I wanna hear it.

I'll go first:

Is there any meaning to which locker Jimin opens? It's in the 2nd bank, 1st column, 1st row:

Checking the 2:11 time stamp of Closer Than This: Serendipity??

When I think of Serendipity, I think of the choreography. Perhaps we have another Brian Puspos work coming up?? We KNOW the company got a hold of him last year.

And just think: if Letter was on Spotify, there'd be a billion more already! 🫠🫠🫠

CONGRATULATIONS BTS 💜

Run BTS: 067 | BTS in a Manga Cafe part 2

Original Air Date: 12 MAR 2019 Episode Length: 29:32 Total Parts: 2 YouTube English Subtitles: No Title Song: Idol

Synopsis: Continuing the previous episode with more minigames at the manga cafe

Production: These games were more enjoyable for me. i always love seeing the guys guess eachothers drawings, and this was nice having them collaborate. The hidden book game was neat, but they really need to stop trying to incorporate lie detectors in these kinds of shows. It just causes more confusion cuz the tech doesn't actually exist.

Endearment: The guys are all perked up now that they're getting some snacks. JK stands out particularly to me this episode.

Winner: BTS

Loser: Staff

Best Cheater: Hobi, writing words in the drawing game. then Jimin calls him out as the one that clarified that point when the rules were explained, nice edit. Then he does it again! 😆

Member Moments:

RM: Poor RMs absent minded-ness picking up the book when the drinks come.

JN: Jin, the master of a well-placed question mark

YG: Yoongi definitely went on far more than he would have if he wasn't 'it' during the hidden book game.

JH: Hobi not giving into JK's trolling and succedding at the ramen game!

JM: JM having a laugh attack during the ramen game.

V: V was a great choice for the first round of the hidden book game. when everyone's figuring out how to game the game, he just gets away with it.

JK: I looove how frustrated JK gets when the members mess up his drawing.

Bonus Content: There was so much content after they finished the episode! it's adorable, and i love it but I'm so confused why they were still filming...?

OK, seriously, do we think there's any chance now that Letter will be an official release with this? I genuinely thought it was a pipe dream before but now?? Oh my little heart can't take it.

I'm going to faint...
