Truly. Even if it means I know way more about npss’s psyche than I ever wanted! Maybe the real DMBJ is the snakes we befriended along the way.

I just! want! The two of them to tear up the screen together! Will the material justify their caliber of acting? Not a chance! Do I yearn for it anyway? 10,000%!

As long as we’re dreaming big, the mere thought of getting more than 2/5ths of a scene shared between Qin Hao and Chen Minghao makes me weak at the knees!

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Ah, yes. The one DMBJ property that actually has something resembling a complete narrative arc - THAT’S the one everyone is clamoring for a sequel. Mhmm. Never change, DMBJ.

Cattendom is lessened by his departure, just as we all were improved by him deigning to allow us to bask in his majesty. Fair winds and a following sea to one of the greats.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Oh, I like that we finally get a full shot of all the dancers doing the Idol choreography.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

It’s maybe a little overshadowed with everything else going on, but Jin in a sweaty white t shirt over incredibly well-fitting jeans ripped high enough to show underwear deserves full appreciation.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I just wanna know who locked him up before turning him loose like that.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I thought babushka!Hobi was going to be the most remarkable second set outfit.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Jimin is wearing enough illusion netting to be mistaken for a figure skater.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Is there anything more Namjoon than mourning the loss of a beautiful moment while in the middle of that moment?

030

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Jin is, like, the platonic ideal of sparkly. Stardust in human form.

110

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

This outfit on Jimin (and, really, all of theirs tonight) make me crave a bts version of helenish’s guerillas NSYNC fic. Emotionally load-bearing boots!

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

This might be the best live version of Like Animals I’ve heard yet. I don’t think there were any backing vocal tracks; I think that was all them. It makes me all a-flutter.

110

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Oh, Hobi is ON ONE tonight. RIP tonight’s audience. Thoughts and prayers.

120

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Every day we get a little bit closer to live multi-part harmonies on Like Animals. 🙏🙏🙏

011

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

The sound mix tonight makes their voices so clear. I am more aware of their little background flourishes (and JK harmonizing just for the hell of it) than I think I ever have been before.

120

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Jin in a backwards ball cap makes me feel like at any moment he’s gonna turn a chair around backwards, sit down, lean over his arm and go, “You know who ELSE lights the night up like dynamite?”

020

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Good lord, only Hobi would attempt ripped long jorts, mid-calf socks, and LOAFERS. That is double black diamond fashion.

110

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I think it is very telling that the vast majority of Army Time signs are clearly made by hand. Every wobbly-inked letter is a thousand times more charming than an AI poster and demonstrates the importance/intimacy of doing it yourself. When it counts, Army is there with marker and glue gun.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Shoutout to the guy in the Knicks jersey absolutely lost in the sauce.

110

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Yoongi took off his jacket, and I took that personally. (I remain unprepared to discuss Jimin at this time, thank you very much.)

110

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

The way they’ve balanced the crowd sound tonight is the closest it’s felt to actually being in the stadium as any livestream I’ve seen. (complimentary) It’s remarkable how much you can feel like a part of the crowd from your own couch.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Hobi flirts with eye contact from underneath his hat brim the same way he eye-flirts over the top of his sunglasses.

110

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I am not yet over how texturally pleasing these first set costume are. All black, but in such different ways that I just wanna touch. Yes. The textures. That’s what’s causing it. Fabric. Mhmmm.

130

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

This is, ah, very crotch-forward camerawork tonight.

110

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Putting Hobi in a Chanel-esque ladies-who-lunch jacket over a tank, leather pants, and chains is a hell of a styling choice.

120

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

There is already far too much growling for my peace of mind.

110

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Love when they put Yoongi in black and sparkles that make him look like his D-Day mic. Like najeonchilgi but on leather.

120

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Everyone’s hair is v sleek tonight. This is especially devastating on Namjoon and Jimin.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Same-continent concert streaming is so weird. What do you mean I don’t have to elaborately arrange my curtains to keep sunrise from ruining the vibe??

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

This post brought to you by today’s laughing despair at job searching. It’s hard to talk up your past accomplishments when you want to start everything with a huge list of caveats. And in this economy????

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

It’s taken over a year, but I think I figured it out. My career to date has pretty much been Game of Thrones: both high quality and problematic from the beginning, but the last season went so far off the rails it fouled everything that came before, and now we don’t talk about it.

A collage of photos of the cast of Game of Thrones at the season 8 table read, in various stages of grief.

This skeet brought to you by the realization that I was using the Thandiwe Newton audiobook of War and Peace as an entertainment reward for doing unpleasant job search tasks, only to have to pause for secondhand embarrassment because Nikolai Rostov is about to be an idiot over the tsar again.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Am p sure my unemployment listening binges tell a story I didn’t know I was writing: all Behind the Bastards Nazi podcast episodes -> the Revolutions podcast esp the Russian episodes -> multiple audiobooks on Soviet Russia -> multiple repeats of the full Dungeon Crawler Carl series -> War and Peace.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

When Army is Armying at its best, it truly is one of the fannish all-timers.

020

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Look. I am a very simple chicken with very simple buttons that were installed in ways I had very little say over. And now you’re giving me a stoic man in a black cowboy hat who also can’t help but smile when he defends his black cat for having big bones and expect me to be normal about it? Nah.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Sometimes I don’t wanna smell the world, I don’t wanna smell what YOU’RE smelling in order to not smell the world, and I am fully aware others may not want to smell what I smell in order to not smell the world. …the word smell has lost all meaning.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

You know what I want? Headphones, but for smells.

- Matching red and black fishnet outfits, bag of what looked like NYC popup merch - Black jeans with a custom red bedazzled Arirang across the butt - The my wife loves a guy in Korea dude - Keep Swimming hat - A tuna bag charm - Big Dipper tshirt - No More Dream jersey

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Spotted en route from my house to the hotel: - group of 3 different Arirang shirts - 1 NYC Arirang jersey - 1 Chimmy in clear purse - Newspapwr Arirang shirt - Runseokjin shirt - Curlers and fear of god shirt - Clear bag full of purple heart stickers - Purple sequin tube top

The first thing you see in the corner store closest to the hotel that sells alcohol is a cabinet filled top to bottom with soju. The rest of the place is mostly craft beer and pork rinds. Hat tip to whoever is doing the stocking.

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Thought I spotted a lone straight dude wandering amidst the purple, but when he turned around his tshirt said “I love my wife and my wife loves some guy in Korea.”

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Getting to sleep in your own bed after a concert is amazing, but there’s nothing quite like staying in a hotel full of fans. I highly recommend both experiences.

120

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

…oh, goddammit, I *knew* there was another concert whose tickets I was tracking.

100

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

I travel with them in my heart. 🙂‍↕️

010

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

I like the light implication that BTS and I travel together.

110

uschickens @uschickens.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I’m sorry; was I supposed to actually accomplish something today, instead of just sitting around thinking about Yoongi and his faux-disappointed face on the first two demands for us to make some noise, then giving an Agust D roar on his third demand, followed by a little grin and a thumbs up?
