What is the rarest piece of BTS merch that you own?

I’m curious as I recently started collecting even though I’ve been a fan since 2017 (have adult money now, yay!) and have come to find out BTS World is NOT in fact the rarest piece of BTS merch out there. 🤣 I just recently ordered Youth CD & DVD Editon & Wake Up Edition B (I believe it may be a first press too as it’s coming with a photo card), so these new additions are most likely going to be the rarest in my collection.

I also ordered Jin’s Don’t Say You Love Me single CD and for some reason they were RIDICULOUSLY hard to find considering Echo only came out last year 😭 the packaging is so pretty tho

BTS Albums: Basic Collectors' Checklist

Hello all! I created a simplified checklist without all the bells and whistles of niche Japanese/Korean merch, multiple versions or special edition DVDs included, just the BTS group and solo albums by name in chronological order to help newbie or casual collectors keep track of what they own.

Hooligan’s instrumental is NASTY 😮‍💨

This song is way too overhated and I feel a lot of it is to do with ARIRANG not being the Love Yourself trilogy reheated like people wanted. BTS are always experimenting, thinking outside the box and trying new things. ARIRANG is their most sonically ambitious album yet. They never explore the same themes twice because they grow along with their music. Their discography is almost a diary of BTS and their growth into the 30 year olds they are now. ARIRANG is a cumulation of how they got to that point, from the hip hop beginnings in 2Cool4Skool to the ballads and pop sounds we came to know them for more recently in BE.

SWIM perfectly summed up the BTS that feels like they have to keep swimming against an ever-moving music industry that constantly drowns people in it- especially when they lost so much time in the military they had to find their place in the sea again. ARMY helped them do this and were the constant that kept them afloat, giving them the confidence to just ‘dive’ back in.

I hope BTS submit Aliens to Best Asian Pop Music Perfomance.

Let’s be honest, these new Latin & Asian categories are so weird. If an artist is good enough, just submit them in the main categories, no need to segregate them into categories based on where in the world they come from.

BTS will likely submit to any categories they’re eligible, including this dumb new one. Sincerely hope they submit Aliens & not NORMAL (Korean ver) as the irony if they win with Aliens will be HILARIOUS.

Anyone else love reading fanfics to get the Slytherin perspective of events?

Canon is written from Harry’s perspective so we obviously miss out on a lot of things he doesn’t see, and it is also very biased towards Gryffindor and Harry’s likes. Of course, Harry does not like Slytherin very much, primarily because of Draco Malfoy and obviously Voldemort, but I really dislike the anti-Slytherin rhetoric in both the books and movies.

Which is why I really enjoy reading fanfics with Slytherin characters as the MCs as they provide a different perspective to the events that occur at Hogwarts where everything isn’t just as clear-cut as “yay Gryffindor!”, “boo Slytherin!”.

What on earth?

Joined the queue at 5:45 at 2000, refreshed the “opens at 6am” page at 6 and got in, only to find absolutely nothing available for any of my nearby test centres. Basically just got up ultra early for nothing. Now I’m blocked from the website because I apparently refreshed too many times.

Why has Trainline started randomly applying my railcard?

I have a 16-25 railcard so it shouldn’t apply to trains before 10am but in the last 2 weeks or so it’s started applying the discount to ALL trains when before it didn’t. Anyone know why?

(Also typical Great Northern train between Kings Cross & Cambridge being cancelled 😭)

Have PCD after finally seeing BTS London D2

And my coping mechanism was to crochet a huge hunch back whale with the leftover wool from my borawhale keychain freebies 😭

D1 transport after the concert?

I go to THFC all the time for Spurs games and never have any issues, but I’ve seen countless tweets from yesterday saying it took them over 3 hours to get home and someone said they even CLOSED all the surrounding stations (White Hart Lane, Northumberland Park, Tottenham Hale???). I can understand White Hart Lane for temporary crowd control but it’s never happened for the other two as they’re further way.

If you went yesterday what was the situation at Northumberland Park? I’ve never had any issues getting home from there at 8pm kick off Tottenham matches so I assume I’ll be fine for a 7pm concert? Northumberland Park is my only way home as I live in Cambridge.

This is the side of the stadium that gets blinded by the sun

Just a heads up after the Brussels concert, this is the side of the stadium (London) that gets blinded & scorched by the setting sun at THFC. It’s usually the away fans at football matches suffering in the corner 😭😭

Anyone had any luck finding tests/cancellations at Letchworth?

At this point, I’m beginning to think Letchworth is a myth and doesn’t actually exist. It’s a smaller, rural test centre with less examiners compared to the next nearest which is Cambridge, but my driving instructor only goes from Letchworth.

I’ve gone on at 6am, checked throughout the day for cancellations, asked my parents to check throughout the day too when I’m at work (in retail so I can’t keep the DVSA website open just staring at my phone) and only saw a cancellation come up once, only for someone to get there 0.2 seconds before me and it to say “Sorry this is no longer available”.

Like, what am I supposed to do?

Guys this is scaring me a bit…

Logged back into my Ticketmaster app as it had automatically logged me out & it keeps coming up with this notification on my ticket (I got my ticket all the way back in Jan in the army pre-sale). Anyone else getting the same thing?

Wish I got these queue numbers in pre-sale 😭

Initially joined out of curiosity as I already have a ticket to see how many people would queue for London & what tickets they’d release for production, ended up getting decent queue numbers. A load were available in various places including in the 100s and 400s sections. I tried getting one of the 100s section tickets and then would sell my 500 section ticket at face value to another ARMY, however my wifi went off mid way and kicked me out so I got kicked back to 100k in the queue.

Will probably get flamed for this…

Will probably get flamed for “devaluing a collectible” or something but I know I’m going to be keeping this for myself and giving it to my grandchildren or whatever so instead of having some random ad page I thought it’d be more meaningful and fun to paint over the page and use it as a World Cup chart for all the games. (I know the team pages have them, but only up until the group stages)

Also, 4-2…COME ON ENGLAND!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

LONDON ARMY travel update🚨

Just as I predicted in my “Guide to THFC Stadium” post, Greater Anglia have added direct trains from Northumberland Park to Cambridge and London Liverpool Street & Stansted Airport both before and after the concert. Key info as this adds another option to get home, especially if you live on the Cambridge-London Liverpool Street line!
