One reason to avoid the younger generations is that my friend’s child asked her for her favorite movie recommendations from “the late 1900s” and that’s an energy I simply cannot allow in to my zone

Jungkook asking this question genuinely, Jimin asking this question just to make Yoongi soooooooo mad

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Right??? 2009 was so long ago too

Dan and Phil doing a relationship reveal in 2025 is like opening a little time capsule that you don’t even remember burying in your yard

(a weekend jog that jk & jm went on during their enlistment. jk was running ahead. Your Name OST was playing)

🐥 *pretending to jog to the music*
🐥 like this, i turned the corner to the right. as soon as i was able to see jungkookie, this part (climax) played
🐥 so that moment felt like a movie

I may have a fever so forgive me when I say that everything in the universe makes sense when you realize that the way Yoongi reacts to Jimin is the way Jungkook reacts to his own cooking

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 1d

Something I really appreciate about Jimin and his lives is that he speaks so clearly and directly that I can understand a lot of what he’s saying even with my relatively weak grasp of Korean. I don’t have the vocabulary to get it all but he really makes the sweet effort for us baby learners

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 1d

Jimin would frankly have been offended if you only picked one, he’s not trying to live that kind of life

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 1d

Lol this picture made me laugh so loud thank you

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 1d

Have you ever been just so stupidly in love with Park Jimin

“Fine. Take Jungkook along, he'll make sure nothing happens. He's strong to no purpose and can kick over his head." ~ Jin

✨Let's play a game of quotes!✨

✨Quote repost your favorite statement from a character in a fic of yours, wip or complete, without context.✨

Here's mine:

"Oh honey I wouldn't even try to start that right now. I'm just appreciating your little details." Namjoon softly spoke.

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 1d

For me it’s the thing that I find the absolutely most Jimin and for me that’s how intense he is without ever admitting he is intense!

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 2d

BTS as Jimin things:

JK: Unafraid of casual nudity
TH: Would work the hell out of a fainting couch
NJ: Hugs can heal
HS: Other people are always top of mind
SJ: Has to protect us from his hotness via cuteness
YG: Could be anywhere right now and we would never know
JM: Intense in all the right ways

Today Taejin arrived in the morning and pre-screamed at nothing to serve as a warning to the impudent, then flew away to their more important schedules. They will be back, I’m sure of it

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 2d

There is one dominant bird (Jin) who screams until all of the other birds waddle at least ten feet away and a one support bird (Tae) who flaps his wings at random and looks smug whenever the ducks are forced to retreat

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 2d

Every day a large group of ducks and pipers gather at a nearby pond to chill out and do bird things and every day as dusk falls two huge sandhill cranes show up and make it EVERYONE’S problem until they are given sufficient lesser-bird-free space in which to exist and it’sTaejin

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 3d

This is breathtaking to me, I would have to carry around a pair of scissors in my purse to cut it off like Jin carrying around a pair of chopsticks wherever he goes

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 3d

… how do you drink it with the cap still on? It just flaps against your face the whole time?

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 3d

They look like the ultimate power couple of a galactic space federation

Daily Sope @dailysope.bsky.social · 3d

Love when they put Hobi in a turtleneck and Yoongi in a harness

J-Hope and Suga are dressed in sleek all black outfits and Yoongi is wearing a harness over his

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 4d

I do sometimes wonder if some of them (especially bottom right) is just like… some wardrobe room / brand deal storage are in Hybe had a bunch of stuffed and Jungkook walked out one day with a full sack over his shoulder

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 4d

JM: I’m just an animal looking for a home; share the same space for a minute or two
TH: Did I find you or you find me?
NJ: Feet on the ground, head in the sky
HS: Out of all those kinds of people, you’ve got a face with a view

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 4d

BTS as This Must Be The Place lyrics that make me think of them every time:

SJ: Home is where I want to be, but I guess I’m already there
JK: And you’re standing here beside me - I love the passing of time
YG: The less we say about it the better

Karyn @dayofkaryn.bsky.social · 5d

Yoongi said it best - like it or not, music is his life. Every corner of every moment has music in it somewhere. He could do other things for money but like most obsessive creatives this is what he wakes up in the morning thinking about above all else, and the other things would get in the way

“Even though I pushed you away and hated meeting you, you were always by my side even when I didn’t ask. So don’t ever let go of my hand because I’m not letting go of you ever again. Because, my beginning and my end, you are the one who’s going to witness it all.”
