  1. The juxtaposition of that fire image in your post with your soft-smushy nerdmon gif in your sig is A+++. I think different opinions make the thread interesting. So share away! I am also someone who had no idea about the BangtanBase forum. I don't know that I have the time to check both so I imagine I will stay here primarily. I do not fear the salt, when it is built on a thin foundation of bitterness.
  2. The Sugamon in the behind-the-scenes MAMA video was soul-crushing. Literal brothers.
  3. EQUALITY FOR ALL~ Amen, fam. Early-to-Mid-20s were a rough patch of introspection about my life and considering what 16 year old me would think of what I have become, a path I am still walking and sussing out on a daily basis now. It is a huge part of why so many contemplative BTS songs and specifically RM's lyrics resonate with me, especially some of the mixtape tracks.
  4. I suppose I should spoiler tag since you did. I am still learning forum etiquette. (And spelling. Had to edit again, weep.)
  5. One of my most devout obsessions throughout life has been Rilo Kiley. Very different from BTS and hip-hop, but here are two favorites (one from their older, golden era and one more recent): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayqd2GlUIsE
  6. Of course my brain thinks of the Sylvia Plath fig tree metaphor, which is much more depressing. The idea that, when you're young, the fig tree has branches filled with fruit, all the possibilities of your life. But as you get older, some of those figs die and fall to the ground, the things that you can no longer access because you have grown too much/it is too late. Namjoon's tree metaphor is a lot more optimistic, dream-chasing overachiever that he is~
  7. I looooooooove both of them. Tightrope is a fucking masterpiece. Kimbra hooked me with her cheeky Settle Down. A++
  8. I had never put together the similarities between those, wow. I do not hate WABP Pt. 1 the way a lot of people do. I think they wanted to make an impression so they all tried to rise to the mindset that may not have been authentic for all of them. I do love how Yoongi shines in this though and imagine this was closer to the sound they imagined for the original group concept. It is lovely that the rapline still gets moments to have this shine and sound now, but in more refined tracks. And mixtapes forever.
  9. Click here to view the Tweet If this has been posted, apologies! When I read on mobile, I can't always see the tweets.
  10. I wasn't sure at first either on my first listen, but I loved the speedy rap part he did about halfway through which turned the tide. And on second listen, I was here for it. I love the "fuck it" record scratch he does, and all the other little inflections. The gang vocals on that are A++ and also he looks the most amazing ever in the MV? The song that had me immediately hooked and replay forever-ing was Give It To Me. Could not stop listening to it. Even on the first listen of the full album, I played it multiple times before I finished the entire thing.
  11. Amen. Also, because it is Music Monday, yes? When the beat comes in about 30 seconds in, it had me. I love how this sounds.
  12. I lowkey was feeling Moonbyul and J-Hope when they MC'd together.
  13. Like when he casually dropped the word "synergy" in an interview during their first KCON LA appearance? I was like, SON. I know US adults my age who are unfamiliar with what that word means. I vaguely recall another member saying in an interview that his Japanese is the best too. [edit] Mmm, whoops on the doublepost. Sorry~
  14. I had no problem with the lyrics in either of these songs, as a burning feminist. The only thing that has given me a side-eye is the aggressive handling of the female actress in the Boy in Luv MV. That felt too predatory. His face was the first BTS face I ever saw, and my immediate response to my sister was, "That dude's cute." And then later in the video when he was rapping, "Okay, that dude is hot and talented."
  15. UGH I'm at work and all I can see is that the new VLive has RM in bed as the landing screen and is 40+ minutes, bless, why oh why, must get home, weep. Sent from my iPhone using OneHallyu mobile app
