So, I joined a group order last May to get some new BTS enamel pins (because I have an addiction) and totally forgot about it because THEY JUST ARRIVED. Almost A YEAR LATER.

I think this group order takes the cake at being the longest one yet (which is really saying something because GOs are notorious for taking a long time). But, hey, at least they're cute.

I ordered these via a group order in July and they just got here today, so I'm gonna treat these like I meant to buy them as a little birthday present to myself. 🙃

Obviously, I needed a BTS clock because I need to wake up to my seven boys everyday. And the towel because you can never have enough towels. And the enamel pins because I am an avid pin collector. Only problem now is... where do I put all the new photos? (I should really just turn my apartment into a BTS exhibition at this point.)

The moment I saw these BTS Wings pins by Nicubiii, I knew I had to have them all. So about three months ago, I joined a group order for them and they finally arrived today. And all I can say is, WOW.

Nicubiii — "Blood Sweat & Tears" V Gold Pin

These are by far the most beautiful pins I have ever seen, maybe ever. The detail and the accuracy of the illustrations of each member and each scene, are just astounding. The rose gold "Blood Sweat & Tears" Jungkook pin features the scene where he is floating in the air, exactly as in the MV, with the chandeliers connected by chains, and a lavender glitter background with tiny feathers floating around him. The gold "Blood Sweat & Tears" V pin (I chose the "Day" version because it was the most accurate colour scheme to the MV) features, of course, the iconic scene of V as a fallen angel sitting on the balcony. This one actually features hinged doors, so you can open and close them, with the lyrics of the song engraved into the panels. These are, in a word, exquisite.

Of course, I had to get all seven of the Wings solo member pins as well because I was in a throwback mood with the "Blood Sweat & Tears" pins (which, in my opinion, is their most iconic MV, with Wings being my favourite era). Each one features lyrics from each member's solo song from the Wings album on the back, and has the most divine detail, from the intricate floral design to the placement of chains to the colour of gems hanging from each pin. These pins were not cheap, but they're worth every penny — these are pure works of art.

So back in May, I ordered some pins by Ashley of io pins. It actually does state on her website that it usually takes 2 - 3 months to make and then another few weeks to do quality checks, but I totally forgot about this order until it arrived today (nearly five months later). Suffice it to say, it was a nice little surprise to an otherwise shitty Tuesday.

These are all BEAUTIFUL, but especially the 3J 2018 MMA pin and "The Truth Untold" hinge pin. Just the attention to detail, the colouring, and the style of the illustrations are so well done. But each of these pins are iconic in their own way, each one a little piece of BTS history. Well worth the wait for these gems!

Got another surprise gift in the mail from my ARMY friend Maegan! She knows I collect BTS enamel pins so she got me three different ones: one Jimin, one Jungkook, and one of them together (Jikook). And they came with three different prints, too! It doesn't make up for the fact that we don't get to finally meet up or that we don't get to see BTS this weekend anymore, but it sure was the highlight of this week.

I actually got around to checking the mailbox today and found the Etsy order I made three weeks ago! That is to say, I got more BTS enamel pins. I can't even blame it on random quarantine shopping. I'm just a full-fledged collector now. The latest additions? These beautiful Love Yourself: Tear Version 'E' pins by Nebi Pins.

It's funny because the faces don't really look like the boys' (I could really only tell them apart by the hair and the outfits), but I love her drawing style and the way she captured the elements from the Version 'E' photoshoot, which is my favourite from Love Yourself: Answer. She even sent a bunch of her lovely illustration postcards along with the pins, which was a really cute and unexpected gift. She only has these pins up for sale at the moment, but I can't wait to see future designs from her. I think her style would work particularly well with a "Black Swan" theme.

My final order of BTS enamel pins from SoChg arrived — just in time, since her Etsy shop is temporary closed now due to COVID-19. She specializes in BTS song pins (each of her designs are based on visuals from either the songs' music videos or imagery from their lyrics) and I just couldn't choose between them. So I got them all.

These include some of my favourite BTS songs of all time, including "Blood Sweat & Tears," "Spring Day," "Sea," "Save Me," "Butterfly," "Young Forever," and "Baepsae," plus some underrated tunes like "Autumn Leaves" and "Whalien 52," and even a Japanese single, "Crystal Snow." Again, I'm in awe of the detail in her work — the maze in "Young Forever," the waves in "Sea," the frame in "Blood Sweat & Tears." I've literally looked at hundreds of BTS enamel pins, both through Etsy and various social media outlets, and this girl designs some of the most beautiful and intricate ones I've ever seen. I just hope she's able to open up shop again soon. I can't wait to see what her designs for Map of the Soul: 7 will look like.
