hello again! i sent the ask earlier about stuck kihyun. i actually think i'm an anon of yours... 🚇? i can't remember for sure though lol oh how i wish i could go back in time and witness monsta x's debut and be here for the entire journey. did you witness it? i too ended up going and listening to his solo music after sending my last ask. i'll have to go watch the stuck mv asap though! i'm just having a whole kihyun moment recently. he is my bias though so it's bound to happen every again, but being a multi impacts the frequency >.<

OMG subway anon!!!!!! Hi!!!! how are you??? how have you been???

no, i didn't witness their debut either (I got into them in 2018 and became a casual listener and in 2020 it became official <3) but I kind of prefer it that way... i will elaborate. for one i do no have the stomach to watch No Mercy, Even today. after watching Pentagon Maker against my better judgment i vowed to never watch an idol survival show. also tbh mx's earlier music wasn't really my taste so i probbaly wouldn't have gotten too into them anyway.

That being said, not a day goes by where I don't wish I had gotten into them sooner so I could experience being Wonho's Monbebe... like this is legitimately one of my few regrets in life: not getting to truly experience ot7.

#i was actally talking to Mira about this the other day...#like how the way mx interact with mbb totally changed after wonho leaving and the whole 2019 situation (plus covid)#random vlives in the dorms and hotel rooms without supervision never happened again #vlives became this rare occurance only for special occasions (bdays. announcements. anniversaries etc) in an office at the company-#-with managers sitting behind the camera making sure they don't say anything 'wrong'#we were actually talking abt how fanfic is dying in mx fandom and how the fandom isn't nearly as active & interactive in other areas either #and we came to the conclusion that its at least partialy due to the death of spontaneous and chaotic vlives #and the death of vlive itself☠️#those vlives created a huge part of 'funny moment' videos and 'fanfic worthy interactions' and 'giffable content'#they gave us so much to talk about and make content with #and it also gave us glimps into idols' lives outside of photoshoots and mvs where they're in full makeup and in professional mode #we got to see them be carefree and joking around with each other and mx especially had NO FILTER #plus they were free🤡 unlike these dysfunctional paid apps idols have to use nowadays with the ‘private chat’ function that was created-#-solely to satisfy one specific type of fans and make more money. even the idols complain abt how laggy and awful the apps are and yet…#but nowadays its mostly just photoshoots and MV behinds and occasionally 'travel vlogs' or ' daily vlogs'#and even those are usually a 1-person thing. like the vlogs they posted of shownu during his enlistments. they were nice. dont get me wron #but they don't have anything that memorable and lasting... as funny and etertaining shownu is even on his own #its interactions between multiple members that create those really memorable moments and memories that nearly ever1 in the fandom recognize #anyway kshfsrdh #i ranted once again ksdhfksdjhfsd #ask #🚇anon
