IM WINNING THE NORMAL COMPETITION!!!!!!!!

[shellbells-things]

So, I was chatting with some friends and we were discussing how, lately, the ASKS on Tumblr have been plagued with a bunch of “people” coming into our space, trying desperately to convince us that Jikook are basically estranged. It’s crazy how all over the place these ASKS are!

For example: “They have always hated each other and now they don’t have to hang out anymore. They are brothers and work friends only. They used to be a thing, but they aren’t anymore. They are cover for a real relationship. The company forces them to mention each other on social media. And my personal favorite….They’ve only seen each other a couple of times this year, they just aren’t close”.

What?! Are they stupid or something? Do they honestly think that the ONLY time Jikook (or any of the members actually) see each other is when they talk about it or post about it on social media? The rest of the time, nothing? Oh Lordy, I need something pretty to calm my nerves.

Phew! Thats better! Do these people really live in such an isolated world that they believe that the litmus test for a relationship is the number of posts on Instagram? Because that’s the standard they are holding Jikook to. Heck, I checked my own personal social media pages and saw that I’ve posted things about the people I actually LIVE WITH or that I see every single day…only a handful of times this year. So clearly, social media posts aren’t necessary for maintaining (or proving) a relationship.

We all know why that specific group of people are here. They NEED to try and disprove Jikook because if Jikook exists as a couple, then their fantasy is just that, a fantasy. And listen, they KNOW. They see it. Images of Jikook, in all of their Jikook glory, are burned on their retinas. They wouldn’t take Jikook moments and alter them (badly…oh so badly) by replacing Jimin’s face with, well, someone else’s, if they didn’t see the moments as romantic. Oh the second-hand embarrassment I get when I see those edits. Yeeeeshhh.

As for the so called “insecure Jikooker”, I can see how it happens. Listen, we used to basically LIVE with BTS. We saw them during practice, at concerts, eating together, backstage, on RUN BTS, Bon Voyage, Bangtan Bombs, In the Soop (1&2), during special content, at music shows and awards shows, photoshoots, commercials. They were much more active on social media, posting selfies on Twitter, talking in Fan Cafes, doing vLives regularly. I mean dang! It was constant. During all of that, from day ONE, we saw Jikook together. Sometimes they were quiet, sometimes they were loud. Regardless, they were always together (Satellite Jeon saw to that). Now, during solo era, we rarely see any of them together. And there is no “natural reason” for Jikook to be joined at the hip in the public eye. Before, they had reason, they had “cover” so to speak. But now? Suddenly, they share very very little about themselves. It’s quite the adjustment for fans to make and I can see how it leads to “discomfort”.

So now, I’m finally to my point! Jikook has been close for 10+ years, closer than close. They’ve risked a LOT to be together, worked through tough and scary times together. After all of the risk, hard work, and commitment, do we really, really think that different schedules would cause them to throw in the towel? Do we really think that having different work priorities would make them suddenly fall out? Really? I call BS on that. Out here in Normalville, people in relationships manage to go to different jobs daily, have sets of friends that do not crossover, even go on work or pleasure trips without each other, and still maintain a healthy, happy relationship. Couples in Normalville don’t have to post about each other regularly on social media, nor must they FaceTime all of their family, friends, and coworkers just to give them an update or their relationship status. Yet, this is the standard people are holding Jikook to. If they don’t prove themselves, they aren’t real? Wow. Harsh.

I saw this tweet and I thought it went well with my Ted Talk today. All you have to do is look at them and you know they have something special. And just because we can no longer see them as often, it doesn’t change the fact that their special relationship still exists. Just look at them. LOOK AT THEM. I feel confident, based on what we HAVE seen during this solo era, that Jikook are the same as ever. They are just having to travel down a new path together. And an actual BONUS for them, I think, is that they are getting to have a lot more privacy than they have had in the past. Anybody who says different has their own agenda and I, for one, don’t plan to give them any of my attention.

ohio kinda sucks because in some areas it’s heavily republican but otherwise it’s pretty much normalville. Boring. the sidewalks are as grey as the sky. nothing much happens.

the only thing i know about ohio is that a character from how i met your mother was from a city in ohio and they made jokes about how boring it was in the show 😭😭😭 if you have a fun personality any place can be bright snd vibrant, i believe in you ohioans

What's happening

Today, me and my friends are having a sleepover and its going well. Im kindve bored, i also am writing this stupid book called Furry Hunters. Here it is.

Jackson spotted the furry from afar in the woods. He was hunting for deer until he saw a teenager with a wolf mask prounce into a small clump of leaves. Jackson hated the outsiders from the furry capital Furryson. His mom and dad were from Furryson but Jackson fled to Normalville. Normalville was more rich and Furryson was ran over by Normalville rebels part of a group called the Rebel Force. They would kill Normalville residents on the border of the city. Both of the cities were on an island in the middle of nowhere called “The danger zone”. This zone was dangerous because people would go missing by it and end up becoming furries. That;s what happened to Jackson and his family. Him and his family were going on a plane ride to Mexico for Summer Break, until the plane crash landed on the island from a gravitational pull. For some reason though, they didn’t die. They got rescued by a couple of people from the Rebel Force. The teenager’s mask was ugly and they were doing a very ugly job at prouncing, so Jackson did it. He shot his sniper. And instantly killed her. Little did he know, that was the Rebel Force’s leaders daughter.

The real question is "But who the fuck wants to be normal when you can be yourself?" Like, if you want to convince someone to change a piece of their identity to conform to some arbitrary norms, you better offer something cool as a reward. The truth of the matter is that "being normal" holds no rewards, only pain; and that there is nothing more pleasant than existing on your own terms without needing someone else's approval. At the end of the day, the queer community was formed to allow people to just express their identity as they pleased, that was the whole point, it's in the fucking name. People that just want to be normal stay in Normalville idk what to tell you.

Also, on the "why would anyone want to be called like a slur?!?!?" thing, I think that many people find it extremely liberating to take something that was once derogatory and wear it as a badge of honour. It's like saying "I am everything you despise and more, I am the terror in the depth of your heart and I am free, I am all the things your mind can't comprehend and nothing will ever restrain me. You can't shame me into submission anymore because I have understood the lie you once told me, that the truth of my being was to be despised. It is not. I am wonderful, I am free, I am gloriously queer."

By the by, reclaiming slurs is just a thing that happens regularly even outside of the queer sphere, you know? For example, bitch is used almost exclusively as a positive or as a meme (at least where I live) and several gay groups reclaimed and use the f-slur regularly (even as an official part of in-person organised events).

queer queer queer. SHUT THE FUCK UP. just say gay. just be normal and say gay i’m begging you.

I bet someone could be the normiest normie in normalville when it comes to animals, thinks a “weird” pet would be like having a turtle or a chicken, just thinks “bugs” are icky little pesky things, and could still take one look at the “Brazilian Jewel Tarantula” and be completely unsurprised that it’s worth around $700.
