#normal bts

if you slow it down you can tell jimin is laughing at namjoon falling off the sofa xD also. jimin in that shirt was a great choice by the stylists, jinmin are absolutely slaying in that corner

cuddle pile! It's dark, but are we all seeing namjoon resting his head on jin's lap.

there are so many really quick flashes of scenes throughout this mv, I can barely pause it at the right time even on 0.25% speed. i think they're mostly group poses? which is quite fun if you get it at the right time :D unfortunately the quality is awful so i won't be posting ss

why was I not invited to the bts party looks like a right laugh. they are on SKATEBOARDS on the TABLE in HEELS

jimin in sunglasses he needs to stop bias wrecking me

made me instantly think of jimmy fallon asking 'who is the one wearing sunglasses in the darkest room imaginable' . but they look good so i'll forgive them

is it a universal thing or is it just me that finds bathtubs in the wild all the time 😭

hobi's drum lessons are going well! we're getting closer to yoongi's plan of bts performing with instruments

nod towards the Boy With Luv sofa?

YOONGI! also jungkook looking funny as hell

yoongi climbing the gate a reference to Fire mv where he scales the fence. but this time he doesn't get over - implying that they're more trapped by their fame? I've seen a few posts highlighting how this video shows them all in a lavish mansion, but at the same time, completely trapped and isolated from the rest of the world

damn got deep earlier so here's my favourite shot so far. i want this as a pc 🙏 (ignoring that yoongi holding the phone up to the statue could further represent the isolation - they only have each other in the mansion, and conecting with the outside world is quite literally like trying to conect with a statue)

do we think they're showing namjoon with the car because he's got his licence now (also i saw his reflection in the car and almost started crying i was laughing so hard, namjoon im sorry for noticing that😭)

there's some fascinating analysis of the Marie Antoinette cake here, so i won't go to far into it as they word it better than I could. but tldr; it represents the consumption of celebrities, showing how we create/celebrate symbols or public figures to the point of destruction. also a nod towards how Antoinette is associated with the quote 'let them eat cake'

and now they're consuming it, sharing it, celebrating it.

was it run mv where they had a food fight icr. anyway another reference

yoongi and his goldfish in Haegeum mv!

there are soo many mvs with lighters/fire. i think fire is one of the most common motifs in bts' music and imagery tbh

do i need to say it. also the scene with jimin and the model boat

pillow fights in Run mv and Life Goes on (iirc). also jimin looks amazing in this scene

a really strange room for a bathroom? why is the wallpaper so nice with a huge set of double doors and a window?

where's that meme about bts needing to hold hands to go to the bathroom

this pose is cracking me up idk. (again, can't help but to point out how dark this scene could be. it's not surprise on their faces, but almost pleasant/welcoming. they have to act nice in front of the cameras all the time for the sake of the fans, at the expense of their privacy. There's no shock, because they've become so used to their invasion of privacy that now it's almost expected)

Cute solo poses with the dogs, but I won't be as them bcs the post is already too long. (Also thinking of the motif of dogs being protectors and/or companions. They need bodyguards from the outside world, and companions that they can trust and dogs do both of these things. Also the dogs make them look fancy as hell)

what in the mafia/dog show is this

the credits scene is very dear to me . so quintessentially bangtan

also love how they're all fighting and then jungkook is in the back staring down the camera serving face
