Imosome Armys Need To Be A Little Bit Humbler

imo…some armys need to be a little bit humbler

I am Jimin and I am also the rest of Bangtan in that second gif

Me: Dear god these people need to stop Also me: *singing off key from glee* Like the tiny Jimin, like the tiny Jimin floating in the air~

spring day’s new lyrics

I hate that clause in my contract with life that says I will always be tempted by procrastination

Seriously. I just looked into my drafts and realised I had a shit-ton of amazing ideas I wanted to write, but they’re all just hanging forlornly there as I try to deal with the backlog in my life that was caused by my procrastination. And let’s not even mention the sky high pile of research I want to do into unrelated topics and then learn HTML coding and then hoMEWORK DEAR LORD WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE I need to get my shit together istg

#HappySugaDay

I’m well aware that I have a mountain load of revision to do in a time too short, but in light of Yoongi’s birthday, I thought I’d take a short break and finally put my thoughts about him into words.

Min Yoongi. Born 9th of March 1993 and hailing from Daegu, South Korea. Officially, rapper, lyricist and composer of Bangtan; not-so-officially, one of the caretakers and voices of reason in a group of rowdy friends. Unofficially (but not any less recognised a title), Unpredictable Grandpa Min “I don’t give a shit what others think I’ll do what I believe” Yoongi the Sass Extraordinaire Who May Or May Not Be My Ultimate BiasTM.

I was first introduced to Bangtan via War of Hormone (and a pumped-up friend whose excitement over a comeback refused to be tamped down in the face of my lack of enthusiasm). I caught glimpses of their news as they entered the HYYH era, and around Dope I began showing interest in their music (I would always maintain that it was the music that truly got me, but sometimes I wonder if my past with Bangtan would have been different if a certain handsome “doctor” hadn’t caught my eye).

But it was HYYH pt. 2 that I was introduced to Min Yoongi, and had my fate as an ARMY sealed as firmly as the 95-line are stuck to each other at the hips.

I had never been an artistically inclined person, and there has always only ever been one form of art (if it could be called that) that claimed my soul: words. To express oneself, many have turned to the canvas of paint and colours, music and dance, shapes and sculptures, countless other forms of abstract art. Me? I stick to words. It’s where I’m most comfortable, stuck in the balance between abstract and concrete, freedom and restrictions. So perhaps, it really should come as no surprise that of the many aspects of a song, I place the highest appreciation in lyrics.

And what a world Yoongi paints with his words! Intro: Nevermind was my doorway to the complex mind of who would later become my favourite person in the world. I remember listening to the rough voice, emotions pouring into a story that I finally understood through my eyes. I can’t tell you the exact feelings that rushed through me, but I remember a vivid experience of awe, guilt, respect……and a clenching around the heart that till now, I can only put down as empathy of sorts. It was that afternoon – lying on my bed and reading the lyrics over and over and over – that Min Yoongi became my bias, and Bangtan became my new home.

All in all, my journey with Bangtan has entered its second year, and I’m still happy and contented. Less hyped, less undignified-fangirling-tendencies, but not any less in love. I still cheer for them, occasionally go crazy over them, and my heart continues to swell with pride over the littlest things the boys do. And of course, I smile the widest when it comes to one Min Yoongi.

I love that he is the perfect example of the lotus metaphor; born of mud, yet lovely and untainted. I love that despite the hardships that roughened his edges, he still stands tall and proud, and so much more humbled and kind because of them. I love that he’s incredibly uncaring of a hundred and one things, yet has his heart in all that matters. I love that he minds not what others think, so long as he stands by what he believes. I love that he exudes confidence, even when he does not have the highest opinion of himself. I love that he never once broke even when he was broken, never once lost his words just because they failed him, never once stopped believing despite giving up. I love that he has done so much, yet it will never be enough, simply because for him, ARMYs deserve more. I love that he puts his entire self and more into everything he does, loses himself in it, gives himself up to the rhythm.

I love that he shares his stories with us, painting pictures and lifetimes with his words alone. I love that he shares his loves and hates with us, his hopes and dreams and stumbles and hurt, carefully crafted into clever little metaphors and implications. I love that his words are careful and shy, yet also blunt and down to earth. I love that he is part of the music that can soothe my temper and pull at my heartstrings. I love that he has made me feel alive once more – and willing to actually live, at times – just by reading about his story.

It’s going to be his birthday in 10 minutes, but I really gotta dash, so I’ll just put this on queue. Thank you, Yoongi, for being the person you are, for inspiring thousands upon thousands in life, for doing what you love and sharing it with us all. Thank you for letting me get to know you, and changing so much about me. Happy birthday, and have a blessed year ahead. I’ll always support you, alongside the ARMYs you love so, so much. 생일추가해, 우리 민슈가!

What is it called...

…when you get really worked up over the fact that someone just drew a lot of random lines and circles (basically kinda like organised doodling) with pen on a blank piece of paper? Like, I know she’s doing that as kinda to de-stress, and I could tolerate it when it seemed she was doing it subconsciously, but the moment it became obvious that she was doing it intentionally (actually looking at the fking paper) I just get so uncomfortable I had to walk away mid-conversation just to calm down. Any idea what’s this called?

HOW ARE THE GIFS OUT SO FAST @l-jiu
