This Was So Weird. My Aspec Self Did Not Appreciate The Lack Of Nuance In The Dating Question But I Decided

This was so weird. My aspec self did not appreciate the lack of nuance in the dating question but I decided to take it as a friendship date. There's also just the weird parasocial element to normalizing the idea of self-insert theoretical dates that squicks me just a little bit but I think that's showing my fandom age more than anything else...

Any of you get this 'personality quiz' also? I'd love to see everyone's results.

My result:

and here's everything else it gave me:

Spotify

Your K-Pop Persona

See how you stan and share it with the world!

What is the audio in this clip?? Is it something I should recognize?? I don't understand why ANY of the tracks from D-Day weren't used...there's even Interlude:Dawn if they wanted instrumental only...Am I missing something? Wait it sounds like part of the beat for Snooze but with more added to the front? I'm so confused...I need someone that's better with music than I am. That sigh at the end is giving more RM and less SUGA as a producer to me though ...

If you haven't watched it yet, check out this video on bangtan tv.

They drop this on the D-Day anniversary?? Please, I can't handle it. It's so heckin cute and just absolutely radiates Yoongi's personality. The Jimin clip was so adorable.

I actually went and saw the concert film at a theater yesterday. Overall, I liked it, but it's absolutely been genericized to not be confusing to an audience that doesn't know anything about BTS, a little disappointing but oh well. There was only one other person in my theater, so I felt like I was just comfortably chilling, absolutely what I needed right now in my life.

Happy one year anniversary to D-Day!

LAST CALL: Do you have a BTS-related ringtone?

I hadn't thought about this at all when I was deciding which would be the next duos poll but today it made me think about just how long these two will have been separated due to the ms as the first in and last out. For some reason, I'd only contemplated that timeline regarding Jin and JK. But Jin and Yoongi?? Now I have a little bit of the sads. 😭

LAST CALL: If you had to eat something entirely prepared by Namjoon, which type of dish would you choose?

Run BTS: 058 | BTS Chef part 2

Original Air Date: 08 JAN 2019 Episode Length: 33:17 Total Parts: 2 YouTube English Subtitles: No Title Song: Idol

Synopsis: Continuation of the previous part. The guys are now cooking their assigned dishes.

Production: This episode honestly feels too chaotic for me. The coverage is cramped and there are a lot of shots where the audience isn't really directed where to focus their eyes even with the audio cues. This is an easy one for the casual watcher to get lost in purely due to the production and not because of a complex concept.

Endearment: The guys themselves seem a bit affected by the chaos. They either don't get great screentime because they're focusing on the task at hand or it's hammed up (I'm looking at you RM and Hobi!)

Winner: RM, YG, JH

Loser: JM, V

Best Cheater: I'm so tempted to list RM and Hobi for getting EVERYONE to help them with their only assingment, but I think I'll actually choose Jimin and V for the salt in Suga's drink. Our wonderful little slytherin.

Member Moments:

RM: RM and Hobi starting off hot with thinking a salad spinner is a blender. bless their hearts

JN: Jin, thank goodness you were babysitting the 94z and stopped them from using the other team's pasta as garlic!

YG: Again, my favorite aspect of Yoongi's personality: his quiet confidence. he just does what he needs to and isn't bothered by the chaos around him.

JH: Hobi literally getting Jin to help them strip the basil leaves 🤣😂😆

JM: Jimin is absolutely demonstrating his competence this episode as well.

V: Ah, V waiting most of the episode for the water to boil.

JK: JK, ever the helpful maknae

Bonus Content: Great moments, explains quite a bit of what we only got hints of in the episode.
