27 Upvotes

Hello book club of r/bangtan! We’re already half way through the month of July!!! And we’re almost at the last Europe stop for Arirang 😭. What a wild ride it has been! (giphy link)

During all of the craziness, we hope you have had time to read our July book club pick. It’s okay if you haven’t, there’s still time before our discussion next week!!

If you’d like to join us next week or be tagged when the post drops, let us know in the comments!

📖 📣Discussion on ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ starts on July 24

I run endlessly to my dream… and to this book discussion!

Below is a discussion guide. Some book-specific questions and some sharing suggestions!

Book Specific Questions

  • What did you think of the book? Is it something you would recommend to someone else?
  • What did you think of the main characters? Who did you relate to the most?
  • A Wrinkle in Time is a well loved middle-grade book, did you read it when you were younger? Does it make you feel nostalgic for your youth?
  • Meg and Charles Wallace have a very special bond. Is this like sibling relationships you have seen depicted in other books, tv or movies? How does it compare to your own sibling dynamic or ones you have experienced in person?
  • Calvin believes that it was fate that brought them together. Are you like Calvin, do you believe in fate or do you think people forge their own paths through life?
  • This month’s theme was Young Forever - Youth. Do you think A Wrinkle in Time fits that theme? Why?

B-Side Questions/Discussion Suggestions

  • Fan Chant: Hype/overall reviews
  • Ments: favorite quotes
  • ARMY Time: playlist/recommendations of songs you associate with the book/chapters/characters
  • Do The Wave: sentiments, feels, realizations based on the book
  • Encore/Post Club-read Depression Prevention: something the book club can do afterwards (on one’s own leisure time) to help recover from the book hangover.

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle

In this award winning sci-fi classic, Meg Murry, her brother Charles and her friend Calvin travel through space and time to rescue her father who is being held captive on a dark planet.

OTHER r/bangtan's Safety Zone - The Third Part

85 Upvotes

Hello lovely ARMY of r/bangtan!

A lot has happened in the nine months since our last Safety Zone, and we thought maybe some of you have some big feelings to let out.

We all love BTS, that's why we're here. But we also know that sometimes it's hard to not love everything in this fandom. It's hard to not have a safe space to share that and still feel welcomed and be treated as ARMY. That is why we are opening up this Safety Zone to talk through any thoughts that you need to speak out loud or get out into the universe.

Please feel free to use this space to talk about anything bothering you in Boraland. However, make sure to read the following rules.

The Ground Rules: Must Read Prior To Posting

We listen, we do not judge:

Everyone has processed the comeback, album, tour, and other happenings in different ways. Feeling sad, jealous, emotional, or disconnected does not make an ARMY less of a fan. Shaming, responding with sarcasm, snark, or passive-aggressive comments will be grounds for immediate comment removal and possible ban warning.

Keep positivity productive (and not toxic!):

We welcome encouragement and holding space for our users' feelings. Phrases like "Just stay positive", "It could be worse", or "If you only trust them..." are not welcome in this thread.

Speak from your experience:

Please don't tell others what they should or must do. Phrase your advice in terms of your own story, talking about what worked for you. Try to avoid statements like "If I were you..." Try to avoid phrases that included the word "but" (i.e. "I get where you're coming from but...").

No rumor spreading or doomposting; all r/bangtan rules still apply here:

You may speak about partnerships (e.g. Coca-Cola, McDonald's, FIFA), INCLUDING how they made you feel. However, any bad-faith framing, encouraging others to boycott will not be acceptable. Talk about your feelings, not accusations or moral arguments aimed at the members.

Please be aware that our rules on non-constructive negativity, solos, shipping, rumors, and speculation all apply here. We really want our users to feel like they can be honest here, but take care to ensure comments don't cross the line of our rules.

If you're not interested in reading possible criticism, constructive negative comments, or feel the need to speak over anyone here, please close and hide this thread and move on.

This will be a heavily moderated thread, and as we hope to continue to provide Safety Zone threads in the future, please be kind and follow all rules.

Misc [GIVEAWAY] THREE DIFFERENT ENAMEL PINS (AND A SET) [WORLDWIDE]

Post image
Upvotes

Win A Pin!

Pin 1. Moonchild: hard enamel, approx 1.25" diameter, shimmery soft yellow on silver-gray metal field, the word 'moonchild' in a muted rose-pink, a metal clasp on the back.
The shapes, including the pin itself, are uneven, symbolic of life being uneven and imperfect also. The shimmery soft yellow symbolizes a moon(child), perhaps sometimes seemingly broken and sad yet always shining in the night

It's okay to shed the tears
But don't you tear yourself
Moonchild, you shine
When moon rise, it's your time
Come on, ya'll
Moonchild, don't cry
When moon rise, it's your time

Pin 2. Into The Sun: hard enamel, circle diameter approx 1 " with the little piece at the bottom sticking out approx 0.25", pale orange field, the sun and its rays a darker orange soft glitter, the path a darker orange as well but no glitter. Base metal is golden. Metal clasp on the back.
No subtle symbolism; just straightforward "I'll follow you into the sun" vibes but I did want the coloring to be more pale and soft rather than loud and brash, to, in my mind, emphasize the soft ballad aspect of the song

Pin 3. Equal Sign: hard enamel, approx. 1" width, dark blue equal sign on a bright green field, inside the blue equal sign are smaller equal signs in diverse colors. Base metal is a dark silver color. Metal clasp on the back. To me, it symbolizes inclusivity (the equal signs within the larger equal sign) and diversity (all the different colors).
Inspired by the lyrics of the entire song.
Hate’ll paralyze your mind
Gotta see the other side
It costs ya nothin’ to be kind
Not so different you and I
Lookin’ for love in a different light
Until we find that equal sign

Videos of the pins in my post history/on the Heungtan sub.

Discussion If you were the travel guide for BTS, what would you recommend?

Post image
34 Upvotes

We know by now, the guys all together, in small groups and/or individually like to explore the cities etc they are visiting during the tour.

So let's be their completely legit travel guide, whether they come to your city / country...or not, because hey :D we might inspire future stops.

Anything goes:

• Local nature sights

• "Classical" sightseeing recommendations

• THE food to try / drink to drink

• Specific events?

• Something super obscure?

For all of them? For a smaller group? A specific member might be interested?

And I'ma kick this off with...

(It's on the island I'm on, okay? 🫪🤣)

Downhill Demesne

Just because vibes. Also the lights are on but nobody's home.

It's one of my fav a bit obscure places (and I hope it stays that way, which is...why I post it on the Internet 🤨)
