Welcome, new Bluesky ARMY friends! I hope you love it here as much as I have 💜 Here's a little intro. Adding to this that I'm in my 30s, and sharing a link to my AO3 for the fic reading folks (I'll make a pinned/carrd or something one of these days...):

Hi, new people! 👋 I'm August. 2020 ARMY (Carpool Karaoke!), OT7, Namgi biased. Queer, nonbinary & neurodivergent. I live in the U.S. (CA) with my spouse, dog & cat. I also really like Stray Kids, video games & fanfic. As a headsup, I talk about/share my writing here & sometimes it has NSFW elements!

Looking at the number of creators posting BTS fics per week by Era, we can see how many of those currently active have joined since enlistment! A lot of fresh contributors while we all wait for the OT7 comeback.

More details: ao3.org/works/76528861/chapters/200278506
A figure reporting the number of creators posting public BTS fics on AO3 per week, groups by the era when they first posted. The number of creators posting is higher in 2025 than 2024.

The more unsubtle they get about the new album’s ties to HYYH the more insane I become. What if they bring back the Yoonkook. What if they bring back the Jihope. What if they… good god what if they bring back the Taejoon??????

Started playing Stray on my PS5 & my cat Hazel is *very* interested/disturbed by all the realistic cat sounds. She really only cares/pays attentions to the TV when other cats are on the screen, couldn't care less otherwise... that, and Yoongi-centric content. Extra confirmation that Yoongi = cat 🐈‍⬛️

Note to everyone:

You're allowed to be sad or have complicated feelings around the holidays. It's OK you're not a monster or anything, it's more common than you think. Feel your feels.

Take care out there, treat yourself gently.

Seeing as how seokjin talking about AI replacing BTS (and other jobs), has been trending since the live, I will use this opportunity to shamelessly promote my “what if BTS were androids” fic from 2023

I just watched Hope on the Stage: the Original documentary and it's so good I'm low-key mad it's only available as a digital code.

More people should be able to stream this on Weverse!

They don't do anything that surprising with the visual style, but Jhope's inputs are so great. Here's my top 5:

Looking back at 2025 I’ve spent a lot more time than I expected staring at close-up pictures of Hoseok’s hand and asking myself which part of his body it’s resting on. His thigh? His stomach? His dick? Could be anything!

Namjoon and Jungkook want a pup for Christmas, but the alpha's family are making that difficult.

Here again with another Yoongi edit, from today's OT7 live.

The original screenshot (yes I went through the live to find that same exact frame 😠) is obviously much smaller and blurrier, so the AI has done a lot of editing and guesstimating in terms of his facial features.

Explanations in ALT text.
I've written "This image is an AI/remini edit" at the bottom of the picture. It's a cropped pic of Yoongi from the BTS live on Dec 21, 2025. He's sitting on a couch in front of a christmas tree leaning his elbows against his knees and fiddling with his fingers. He's looking to his right at Namjoon (left on the picture). The quality is obviously way too high for something that was cropped from a small area of the screen. This becomes especially apparent if you look at the original screenshot posted next to this one. The most obvious tell is the skin, as usual. It's too flawless and resembles a porcelain doll. During the live, there were harsh overhead lights which cast shadows on the face, but none of that is visible here. It's all just very smooth. The shadows are soft and the face is very evenly lit even though the room doesn't have the lighting to match. Another tell is usually the eyes, but the edit is not so sharp that it would draw immediate attention. But what I noticed with the eyes is that (to me) they don't look like Yoongi's eyes. They're giving uncanny valley, like that's supposed to be Yoongi but it's NOT. Also the color of the whites is too even and white for the lighting conditions. The lips are plumper and redder than in the original screenshot. The nose is also slightly narrower, as is the face overall. Yes, this edit actually altered his features to make him look more feminine! Overall, this image is a bit more subtle than some other edits, because if you don't look at it beside the unedited one, there isn't anything glaringly wrong with it at a glance. No warped fingers of melting jewelry. It's blurry enough to hide the most obvious editing. But it's actually worse in that sense, because it's NOT as obvious, but it's changed Yoongi's features ever-so-slightly. And if we keep looking at these edits without realizing they're edits, it will alter our perception of reality. That's why I think it's important to recognize them. This is the same frame from the live, but it's the original blurry screenshot.

a still from the bts group live today. Yoongi reaches across Taehyung to investigate Jimin's necklace. Taehyung is looking up at the ceiling like he can't believe the audacity. Text edited on top of the image reads: "Me" (over Yoongi), "My wips" over Taehyung, and "Shiny new idea" over Jimin/Jimin's necklace.
