bts somehow saving us from toxic/trash people without even doing anything lol i feel all these people are the same. they are quick to make prejudice comments about them without knowing anything and have their own interests they love so much (which is mostly gaming and sports) and know every fucking thing about it and yet there's something wrong when u have the same amount of investment in something (this is now a 🚩) and i agree u def lucked out on friends, i only have 1 person i share being army with but they're not as deep into it as before so its kinda like no one really to share my excitement with (besides u lovely people on tumblr) and then there's others that know i love bts but i can tell they're getting annoyed so i kinda backed off from them completely tbh. it sucks having to censor something u enjoy. [i wanna talk about a small win i got from someone thats not into them at all but one of my friends watched yoongi on jimmy fallon with me and i got her to watch amygdala then she was impressed and actually remembered his name the next day] she was like, i love music with a message and talks about real things and i went "‼️‼️ THATS LITERALLY HIM AND BTS" lol i swear if ppl were less judgey they would understand but i cant force them, bts comes when they come, its the best when it just ~happens~ but god do i wish i could just sent hella music and tell them LISTEN

no exactly!!! somehow their inner weirdos come out when it's like bts/kpop/kdrama etc lol 😭 and like my other interests are typical Male Interests (apparently) bc i'm an f1 and tennis fan and no one calls me crazy about watching the race in the middle of a mall on my then-bf's phone (real incident) and now he's into f1 bc he annoyed me into explaining everything abt f1 (annoyed bc it was DURING THE FUCKING RACE!!!!!) but somehow a bts concert is different i wonder why 🤨 i did luck out bc i pre-ordered indigo the second it dropped at like 5 am when in a friend's room in the middle of a conversation bc it would be sold out and she didn't even bat an eye and we went back to the conversation at hand 😭 i'm so sorry u have to censor you excitement i really do hope you find people who share your excitement or at the very least appreciate it :( [omg that's so wonderful!!! i hope your friend listens to at least some of bts' discography bc it's FILLED with messages and enjoys it and you can enjoy it with her <3] honestly, my friend sent me a whole list of things to watch for bts and a list of songs because we were doing an interest exchange (i made her watch f1 she made me watch bts) and it worked out for both of us so maybe sometimes it does work to just send music and performances DJDSDKSKDKS (it probably helped her case that i was into kdramas for like 3 years before that already and had a whole playlist of osts so djfkddkd)

hey!! I saw your post on Shimizu by chance and I totally agree with u in this but I have to say that there is a difference between what Yachi did and what all the others characters did, bc her attention never actually put kiyoko in an uncomfortable situation (but it did show the way Shimizu was supposed to be seen by the audience and the readers (which ://)) and there's also the fact that Yachi does get to Know her, Shimizu can actually have real conversations with her, while with the boys we don't see much, which gives off the vibes that she actually doesn't have the relationship with them that hq!! want us to think she has and that the boys kind of see her only as... pretty. which sucks.

hm! there are multiple points here that i agree and disagree with.

first off, i'd like to point out that, yes, i agree that yachi did not do anything wrong! see, being attracted to a person, even if it's sexually, isn't morally wrong or anything. obviously there are exceptions, but if you're talking about someone else the same age as you, there's nothing wrong with attraction! yachi didn't do anything wrong, really! there's a pretty girl and she's attracted to her! but yachi's character doesn't exist in a vacuum. when yachi's introduction to kiyoko is yet another of the many scenes where kiyoko is uncomfortably sexualized and basically only seen as an object of attraction, it contributes to haikyuu's larger problem of depicting kiyoko as simply an object of attraction, which is what i meant to criticize.

second! i'd also like to discuss the idea that yachi's attraction was morally superior to that of the boys. yes, i agree that yachi's attraction to and treatment of kiyoko was far better than some of the boys (i'm looking at you, tanaka and nishinoya), but i don't particularly agree when it comes to others. hinata did the same exact thing yachi did. he saw a pretty girl. found her very attractive. blushed and lost his mind when she held his hand. all things that yachi did! yachi's scene where the show went out of the way to show kiyoko as sexy was before they had any form of emotional connection. and just like yachi isn't before her friendship with kiyoko, hinata's not obligated to seek out a connection with her because he has a crush on her and finds her attractive. you don't objectify a person by being attracted to them, you objectify them by treating them as if they're simply an object of attraction. hinata and yachi don't objectify kiyoko just by being attracted to her. tanaka and noya do because they treat her like an object or possession.

the problem lies in the way the series basically only depicts her as an object of attraction. yachi being gay for her isn't the problem. it's the way the series goes out of its way to introduce kiyoko in the same way over and over again. the way the series constantly brings it up again. and in that sense, yachi's crush serves the exact same purpose all the other examples do: showing kiyoko as sexy and desirable and a source of motivation. as an object. which is, i assume, exactly what you meant by the scene showing how the audience is supposed to view kiyoko - something we definitely, definitely agree on!

anyways sorry, this wasn't put very well but. i hope i got my message across. if anything came across as rude or the like, it really wasn't on purpose! feel free to send me another anon to continue the discussion, or bring up a different idea!

Gumpa is a traitor

Alright guys buckle in, it's theory time.

Spoilers for Not Me, including the next episode preview!!!

I���ve had this theory for a while now, but the preview has really set it in stone for me.

So the preview is clearly trying to make us think Dan betrays them but that literally would be such a dumb plot. It's too predictable, it wouldn't be shocking. But Gumpa like- he has been there all along, just casually knowing everything, helping them, giving advice. But where is his background huh? Does he ever appear without the main characters? He's supposed to be the last person anyone thinks of. He's supposed to be inconspicuous. Viewers are fairly neutral on him, and it’s intentional. Sometimes he’ll have a nice moment, or say something funny and it will give us a nice feeling about him, we’ll think ‘aw he’s a nice character’ and we’ll go on our way. It’s supposed to be natural, to be subtle. To lure us into a false sense of comfort with him as a steady character type. I'm telling you, Gumpa betrays them. I am so sure (now watch me be totally wrong lol)

I think Sean creates a plan where Dan pretends to betray them in order to confuse the bad guys from the real plan as his 'redemption' and Dan will agree despite the risk of danger bc of his guilt. But the plan will be exposed anyways bc of someone who always knows everything but is never directly involved.

G u m p a.

When I was discussing this theory with one of my friends they brought up a good question which was: “Why hadn’t Gumpa betrayed them earlier?”

This is my response

Maybe they needed the perfect opportunity. Think about it. If they got taken down right away they could just be turned into martyrs, a symbol for people to fight for. But if you take them down at just the right moment you send a message. "This is what happens when you try and go against us" Take away their hope. Fear isn't enough to hold back a rebellion. But taking away hope can put out any flame.

Not to mention what Gumpa betraying them will do to their mentality. Think what it would do to their will to fight if the one they all trusted the most was a traitor all along? Every effort they ever made, every battle they had fought, every move they made everything they'd been taught was futile all along. They were just pawns in one big and cruel game of chess they didn't even know they were playing.

I also think it's equally likely that Gumpa only recently betrayed them. They'll probably go the route of him being a good guy at first and then switching sides (kind of like Todd did) which personally I find way less exciting then the above theory but this is likely the one GMMTV would go with.

Either way it would crush their spirits and make it harder for them to fight. Harder for them to trust and rely on each other.

lol it's still me but there's still alot i gotta say. I got sooooo fucking happy when i saw you updating again. i turned on my notif in case you didn't know. girl, you're my source of life i cant life w out you and im sure ill remember you wayyy long after even tho i forgot most of my internet friends a year ago. hope my words are enough to show you how important you are to me and my undying love for you. many ppl tell u they love u but fuck all of them i love you the most - h.melon

here's the last words (sorry if this is too long ^^) i hesitated sending u these cuz im afraid i might bother you, and you might delete these, but it's ok if you do so bc at least i've confessed my feelings for you. you are very important lulu, you play an important part in my life. words cannot describe the fuzzy feeling in my lungs i have just for you. once again, if any of your fans are reading this then FUCK YOU I LOVE HER MORE THAN U DO - h.melon

i really hope this is a very twisted exaggeration or a joke gone wrong. i am flattered that you like my writing and are looking forward to my future works, but to go as far and calling me your "source of life" or an "important part in your life" is too much. these asks scare me and make me extemely uncomfortable. you don't know me in person, so don't go ahead and claim your "undying love" for me when all i do is write fiction. i didn't want to publish this but i have to address the level of uncomfortable and terrified i am feeling after reading them.

refrain yourself from sending me asks in this manner - anyone, in fact. these types of messages are not sweet, they are creepy and obsessive. also, don't glorify me. I'm just a fellow fan of a kpop group and happen to create and share my content with other fans of the group. to say i have fans on my own is far fetched and makes me uncomfortable.

Hiya, I realise that this might sound dumb or whatever but I thought I'd offer a different perspective (even if u didn't ask). You sometimes sound a bit ticked off about people being on anon when they want to know stuff/ talk about stuff. And don't get me wrong, I completely understand that you don't want a one way convo. But I just always think for me, that 1) i'm too shy to come off anon. social anxiety what? but internet anxiety apparently yes and 2) i have a completely different blog (1)

(2) like my main blog is about fashion and my university and for some reason I don't feel comfortable participating in discussion with that blog. I know it sounds absolutely ridiculous, bc really, what would happen if I had an insightful response? Not much, I doubt you'd ignore it just bc it's not a dnp blog, but yeh, idk. My unsolicited opinion haha. I hope you have a nice day!! xx

I definitely get the shyness/social anxiety - and for the most part I don’t mind answering anons. If you pay attention, you’ll notice I tend to give the ‘come off anon and lets talk’ response to people who are being rude or aggressive, or people who are sending me an ask that I essentially feel like I’ve already published five versions of. 

Or if it’s personal, or my answer would be personal - because to a certain extent it is about my own social anxiety. When people send me anons they’re essentially backing me into a corner and saying ‘I want to be able to be private but you have to have this conversation in front of thousands of people who know who you are and will judge you/jump in with their opinions.��� Sometimes depending on where my emotional energy level/anxiety level is at, it’s just not something I’m interested in doing. 

To your second point; if you don’t want to use your main blog because of privacy and not wanting me to see posts that relate back to your offline life, I understand. But if you think the content of your blog matters, then - nope. It doesn’t. I respond to messages from people who are signed in a) without generally even looking at their blog, and b) privately. always. I don’t publish asks from people who are signed in. 

If you send me an anon the odds I’ll publish it drop a lot, but if you are using your account and messaging me in a way that I can reply back privately I do, always, and way more quickly. (And if I don’t answer you, then it’s either because your ask contained something I blacklist and I never got it, you asked me to find you specific research-required information and I’m waiting until I can look or I give up looking, or tumblr just ate it. Given the number of times I get messages that are multipart and I don’t end up getting one of the parts, I think it’s safe to say tumblrs messaging system isn’t 100% reliable.) 

My tumblr messenger is open as well, and I try to respond to those as quickly as possible. (Though sometimes that takes me a little longer since I generally wait until I have time to have a conversation there, instead of a one-off ask reply.)
