to fifteen years of making music together 🐱🐨💕

my artwork to celebrate namgi's 15 years of knowing each other. yoongi and namjoon stand in a record store. namjoon has paused as he reaches out to browse to instead shine a smile down at yoongi, who is gazing tenderly at an orange LP he is holding. the LP cover is orange, says '15 years', with an illustration of a cat and dog. the artists' names are 'runch randa and gloss' as a nod to their pre-debut times.

namjoon is wearing a baggy light blue jumper, with 'RESPECT' written across the chest. he has a brown bag handing off his shoulder. he has one hand on yoongi's shoulder. yoongi is wearing a dark grey-blue hoodie with a cat doodle on it, and a dark blue backwards ballcap. behind them is a wall with various records on, including all the LPs released by the members, as well as those of namgi's musical influences. in front of them is a waist-high shelf with 'bangtan records' written on it. more LPs are stacked there, with yoongi's d-day and namjoon's indigo at the front.

the inspiration behind this was all about their love of music, which was their very first bond, especially as their taste was so similar back then. music is one of their love languages.

oooh i need to listen to this later and just. sob.

also, this is how i feel about epik high's 'us against the world' (esp the part in screenshot). it obviously makes me think of tablo, mithra and tukutz, but also our seven, so it's a huge double-whammy song ❤️‍🩹

Epik High's 'Us Against the World':

[Bridge: All]
Running towards the same dreams
Together in pain when we fall
Getting beaten by the same sticks
That’s how we grew up, my friends

Now, we go for a smoke
And have a glass of hard liquor
Facing the years passing by without mercy
Together, we grow old…

[Chorus: Tablo, Mithra Jin]
We’re friends man, yeah
Don’t apologize man, yeah
No matter what you do I’ll understand
It’s us against the world

When the world does us wrong, yeah
When our love abandons us, yeah
Always there beside me were my friends
It’s us against the world
[Outro: Tablo]
Be happy, man
Get rich, man
Meet the right one and live a good life, man
Be happy, man
I love you, man
Meet the right one and love your daughter, man
Man, man.

apologies* to whoever is trying to DM, but I live in the UK and refuse to hand my ID to some feckass third party so I can access chat. bluesky is super helpful with letting me know anything about the message/sender, as you can see 🙃

* apologies only if you aren't some bot/creep/scammer, obvs

picture of yoongi looking very pleased with himself. i think this is from hobi's documentary, when yoongi wanders in looking all put together and saying he has to go to a wedding? anyway. the point is he's looking like the smuggest cat in the world. i've edited a red rosette onto his suit lapel that says, 'perfect lil guy', because we only speak facts here.

same as the other, only yoongi is more face on to camera. still supremely smug. his red rosette says 'best cat ever' this time. still only speaking facts.

i have this quote saved to my desktop bc it is so namgi-coded. i have no context for the work or the author, but it is so painfully /them/

"I love you," I say to him, only it comes out, "Hey."
"So damn much, he says back, only it comes out, "Dude."
He still won't meet my eyes.
-Jandy Nelson, I'll give you the sun.

won't leave and never will 😞

Episode one of Suchwita, with Namjoon as the guest. Image shows Yoongi looking at Namjoon, listening to him speak. The captions say "and the person who was beside him all along", in reference to how Yoongi has been by Namjoon since day one.

saw this in my phone gallery again. and. fawk.

Yoongi and Namjoon after performing Strange during D-Day final concert. They are clasping hands in that "bro hug" type way. Yoongi's expression is of a smile that is begging to be wide and gummy, but is close-lipped with crinkly-smiley eyes. The pride and love on Yoongi's face is palpable. That's his guy right there, being the same brave dude who took to the stage even with shaking hands to beat rappers many years older, to address nations, to represent his team in front of a world stage. Namjoon was nervous as hell, but his Yoongi hyung knew him through it all. Yoongi gave up the stage for a performance Namjoon hadn't even finished yet. He knew we would all listen and love the man before us anyway, same as he does.

omg i realise i made a mistake - it was new year's, not christmas! they met christmas eve, so yoongi only knew hobi for like a week before he came back from holiday because hobi was alone 🥲

Translation by xingyoon: Hanryupia March 2014 issue

Hobi: I can still clearly remember the End of the Year Chicken Incident. Since the other trainees went back home for the year end, I was the only one left in the dorms to celebrate New Year's. Suga called just to ask if I was OK. I told him I'm alright, but bored because I was alone. Suga later arrived at the dorms with chicken! I was so touched when that happened I didn't even realise I fell for him. If I was a girl, I'd definitely fall in love.

just saw this book for pre-order and ??????????????????? there's no evidence i could find that it was inspired by bangtan but obviously that's where my mind went 🥺

cover of 52-hertz whales by sonoko machida. the illustration shows a boy and girl looking towards the night sky, where a whale is emerging from pink and orange clouds.

@agustbites.bsky.social

you ever read a passage from a book that you want to ingest? yeah. yeah this is it.

A page from MARTYR! by Kaveh Akbar:

When asked about the difficulties of sculpture, Michelangelo said, "It is easy. You just chip away all the stone that isn't David."
It's simple to cut things out of a life. You break up with a shitty partner, quit eating bread, delete the Twitter app. You cut it out, and the shape of what's actually killing you clarifies a little. The whole Abrahamic world invests itself in this promise: Don't lie, don't cheat, don't fuck or steal or kill, and you'll be a good person. Eight of the ten commandments are about what thou shalt not. But you can live a whole life not doing any of that stuff and still avoid doing any good. That's the whole crisis. The rot at the root of everything. The belief that goodness is built on a constructed absence, not-doing. That belief corrupts everything, has everyone with any power sitting on their hands. A rich man goes a whole day without killing a single homeless person and so goes to sleep content in his goodness. In another world, he's buying crates of socks and Clif bars and tents, distributing them in city centres. But for him, abstinence reigns.
I want to be the chisel, not the David. What can I make of being here? And what can I make of not?

including screenshot reference for those who haven't caught up to the live:

Screenshot of translation from Namjoon's 2025 birthday live: "Namjoon about wearing the ring on his fourth finger lol

Namjoon: Jin-hyung gave this ring to me, but the reason why I'm wearing it on my ring finger is because it didn't fit anywhere else. Jin-hyung kept asking, 'Won't it fit on any other finger?' But it doesn't, I'll show you. (Puts on middle finger) Jin-hyung wanted me to wear it on this finger but it doesn't fit, it would get stuck. Hence, no choice but to wear it on my ring finger."

thanks for the extra evidence, namjoon. didn't really need it, you've made your point already, but cheers anyway bro
