When the details are needed~
Sometimes peeps will ask me for details or historical context, after reading a post I’ve written. When it is possible I’ll direct to original content, and I’ll also refer to cultural traditions, when it is necessary to help clarify.
There are bloggers here on Tumblr who have a DEPTH of knowledge, spanning far more years than I have been ARMY. Some of them put a lot of time and effort into crafting posts that are deep in detail, and very informative. That, I am grateful for, as it has helped me with my own navigation through sources of information about BTS and the individual members that are complicated, messy, sometimes convoluted, and sometimes outright wrong.
I came here originally looking for a known Blogger who is fluent in both Korean and English, who also is known for clarifying translations, and also who helps to explain the cultural context connected to things that the members say. After setting up my own account I eventually started looking at the #kookmin and #jikook hashtags, as I had no idea how this platform worked.
Luckily, there were Bloggers who I started to see who were the very ones I mentioned above, who were in integrity with their words. Integrity is everything, to me. After watching so much content on YouTube and seeing the ways that a lot of people manipulated imagry, video clips, translations and such to fit their narrative, I found these Bloggers to be a breath of fresh air.
It felt important to share this as I do post things that I have written, without a ton of references or details, at times. Sometimes, it’s my heart speaking, sometimes it is my intuition, and sometimes it’s my desire to share in the moment with the community here. Always, it is with the best intention.
When I first became aware of BTS I knew NOTHING of ships, bias, solos, ot7, or what all that entails. I’m an American, and I had never experienced anything like that prior to BTS, and had no understanding of it at all. I still don’t really get it, but at least I kinda know what it means. What I do know is that I don’t label myself in any way, at all. Just so that’s clear.
Most of my words and opinions of what we see are coming from my life experience, what I understand of the history of BTS, original content, reading certain blogs, and interpreting everything with as little filtering as possible. I hope that made sense...
The other factor for me is that as an intuitive and empath, I just know things. Sometimes, I’ll know it before it’s proven outwardly. That’s what intuition does, for me. I just know stuff. lol... Sometimes I’ll speak of it, but much of the time I don’t. Especially when it isn’t my place to do so and it could be an overstepping of a boundary as a Soul. That takes “when you know, you know” to another level at times.
The reason I’m sharing here is that I wanted to make it as clear as I can, that there are a LOT of Bloggers here who are really well informed and are fantastic sources. I’m happy to share what I feel are blogs that are really good ones to follow... just send a DM, and I can happily share.
Thank you all for being a part of this community here. I really appreciate sharing the love and support, for the guys. It brings joy into my life, for sure! 💜
