[checkers-dance]

checkers no you need to understand why i ended up having that nct break down yesterday. there's this one person in our server whos a kpoppie too and she shows up once in a while and somehow i always manage to end up in rlly unhinged conversations with her. she showed up today and asked us if we listened to txt so i started talking about their music with her and we ended up talking about cat & dog and she said it sounded like an nct song. SO OF COURSE I JUST ENDED UP DERAILING THE CONVERSATION INTO BEING ABOUT NCT and i ended up dumping so much lore on her, i made her listen to kick it and make a wish, i explained LORE to her and she said at this point i need to become the server's first nctzen and that i practically already was one. I KEPT TRYING TO DEFEND MYSELF, BUT THEN SOMEONE ELSE JOINED THE CONVERSATION AND SAID SHE THOUGHT I ALREADY WAS AN NCTZEN.... AND I GOT ANGRY BUT THEN THE OTHER PERSON SAID ANY NORMAL PERSON WOULD ASSUME THAT BECAUSE I TALK ABOUT NCT ALL THE TIME.... AND I KEPT TRYING TO ARGUE BUT SOMEONE POINTED OUT I HAVE AN NCT PFP ON MY SIDE BLOG AND I JUST COULDNT KEEP GOING. it made me realize that i genuinely have a problem. my friend max called it an anti interest akin to the carriage. this TRULY is my carriage, idk how the fuck i ended up like this, but im genuinely so angry. at least its funny.

anyway here's some quotes from that conversation.

I mean thank u for the explanation but that still doesn't excuse the fact that I was RIGHT and u're gonna turn into an (ironic? 🤨) nct fan 😭. U were JUST liveblogging reading nct fics last night

ALSO NOT THE LAST SCREENSHOT???? WHY MUST THE FORBIDDEN COW HYBRID LORE COME UP AGAIN......this is undeniable proof, why is nct becoming implicated in the cow hybrid farm, sooner or later u'll be making dark nct aus

[akookminsupporter]

Hi! So, this isn't here to start drama or anything, but I did have a question for you and others to answer if wanted! I've been seeing a few posts about how BTS are awful people for not controlling or setting boundaries for fans. I have seen the example of Corden being used. He saif he was getting death threats and someone said that none of them responded or acted concerned in a way (sorry, I haven't watched that interview or any others because I kinda cringe at American interviews!). I have even seen people say that BTS actually encouraged and appreciated the fact that fans were defending them from others like Corden.

Additionally, these posts are always about other groups setting their fans straight, but people still manage to bring BTS into it. Personally, I don't know how to feel about this because I can see this side. However, I can also see the fact that the fandom is freaking gigantic and one group of seven men can't control all of those people. Even if something were said, there would be no gaurantee that the fans would follow, especially the ones who intentionally cause chaos and breed hatred.

As you can see, I am kinda stuck on how to feel. Both sides seem to be reasonable but there is always some type of context to take into consideration. Still, I would love to hear yours and others opinions on this because I want to hear more from others other than those who are obviously aggravated with BTS.

I hope you don't mind this ask and stay safe! Have a beautiful night/day :)

I think we've had this discussion several times on this blog, most recently when the guys were on Corden's show.

There's little I have to say but:

Saying that BTS encourages their fans to defend them is not entirely true at least not as those people you supposedly saw most likely meant. BTS know that their fans have their backs and that they will always defend them but they would never encourage their fans to insult and threaten someone in their name. They would never encourage their fans to bully a person, to do that would go against their whole message, their whole work with Unicef. It would go against who they are.

I imagine those people you are reading these opinions from are from other kpop groups. kpoppies hate BTS and their fans, that's a fact. Hearing an opinion from them about bts is honestly a waste of time. Listening to or reading other fandoms' opinions about ARMY is another waste of time because those other fandoms are also problematic.

BTS are not the parents of the fandom. They are not responsible for what their fans do or say. BTS has been quite clear in their message and what they do encourage their fans to do, to be. Being a bully is not one of them. If a fan doesn't understand that, that's their problem, not BTS's, or at least that's what I think.

[thoughts-on-bangtan]

Can you imagine losing interest in BTS and their music ever? I've seen it's a hot topic on Twitter, how some fans just lost connection and how others put it as "exiting the magic shop". I don't understand. I spent my teens listening to the Beatles, Incubus and now that I'm 30's I still love them. I suppose it could happen but I just dont like it when people say they lost interest bec BTS has already healed them. Like, you can heal and listen to them at the same time right? Your thoughts guys?

First of all, thank you for this ask because this is such an interesting topic.

Secondly, I'm fairly sure this whole thing about "being healed from BTS", as in stopping being ARMY/stanning BTS was started by "ex-ARMYs" (or people cosplaying as such) on either twt or t*kt*k (or both) as a way to feed into the narrative of how you can only possibly like Bangtan while you're "sick" but eventually you get "healed" and move on to other artists, specifically other K-Pop groups. It's also occasionally used by people who stopped "stanning" BTS to make themselves look better in the eyes of kpoppies (or suck up to them) and to get hit twts. A quick twt search showed me a twt where someone spoke about how now that they've "left the Magic Shop" they're able to "love other people" and have found themselves in (Other Group’s fandom name)-land. As in Bangtan healed them so now they can listen to/stan “better” groups.

Do I think there are also genuine people among them who credit BTS for helping them heal before moving on? Probably, but I find the phrasing and way of thinking rather weird and also something that plays into the stereotype that liking a "boy band" is just a phase that you grow out of and then move on to "real music". 

Are there people who genuinely "lost" whatever connection they felt or interested they had in BTS? Probably, though sometimes I feel like people misinterpret twts where people talk about leaving ARMY twt/their sns stan accounts as them stopping being a fan which is false. Being a fan of a musician is more than just posting on your stan account, right? There are plenty of people who are ARMY yet don't engage in fandom sns.

Now circling over to your question about if we/I can imagine basically falling out of love with an artist (BTS) and, well, personally I think it depends on certain factors. Just like you in my early teens I used to listen to a band called HIM, a little later to a band called Placebo, and to this day, if someone asks me who my favorite rock band is, I still name both of them without hesitation despite not actively listening to them anymore the way I do with Bangtan, as example. Yet it doesn't change the fact that I still love their music and check out what Placebo are up to from time to time. 

I think there are certain bands and artists whose music simply does something for us, this specific something that makes us connect to them in a deeper sense, in one that makes their music and artistry stick with us even far down the line when we might not listen to them daily anymore, might not check their sns every day anymore, or even at all. At this point I'm pretty sure BTS are exactly that for me as well. I can imagine that perhaps one day I might not be as invested (invested in the sense of having a stan account and blogging about them) anymore as I am now, because that's natural, but I doubt I'll ever go as far as saying "I've lost interested" or "been healed from being ARMY" or whatever else some say.

So, when I said it depends on different factors if you'll ever fall out of love/loose interest, what did I mean by that? I think a major deciding factor is why you became ARMY/a fan in the first place and what it is that keeps you interested in them.

More below the cut:

If you became a fan because you’re into shipping and your main focus is your ship and nothing else, honestly, I doubt you’ll stick around all that long. And I say that as a vminnie and namjinist myself. I imagine, if the only thing about Bangtan I would care about would be those two pairings and I would spend all my time hunting for clues and looking at gifs/pictures and discussing them and nothing else, their music only being of interest to me if I could make it about my ship? I’ll be honest, I would probably lose interest in less than a year because you can’t possibly remain invested in two people, their lives, “relationship clues” and ship fights with others for years without basically getting tired of it.

Also when I say just focusing on a ship, I literally mean just the ship aspect, not even the artistry those two people have, like their music etc, but just the bond they have and nothing else. And yes, there definitely are people like this. I’ve seen Xkookers only care about (insert song here) because they thought it was about their ship but once they realized it isn’t, they never brought up the song again, and never spoke about the song itself at all. And I don’t want to just point my finger at them, there are also people who ship other pairings who act this way as well, definitely.

At the end of the day, eventually you’ll have analyzed all there was to be analyzed, discussed every aspect and detail, seen every moment and taken it apart, and will have had every fight you could have, and then...what? There’s only so much “content” and “entertainment” you can get out of someone else’s life and bond and that’ll only be able to keep you interested for so long...and then what?

But if you got interested in Bangtan due to their music first and that is your primary focus while them as people is more of a nice “extra”, that’s “sustainable”, for a lack of better words. They release lots of music every year, have a huge discography along with side/solo projects, their lyrics are so layered and you can find so much in them, immerse yourself in their artistry. Their music can become your companion, basically. There are so many ARMY that have songs and albums that mean the world to them, that helped them heal or love themselves, that they keep coming back to, that engage in discussions about their music, old and new, and who find boundless joy in all of it while also adoring the members themselves.

If you got into them for their personalities while thinking their music is just okay, an all right extra, but you love their bonds and shows like RUN or Bon Voyage, I could imagine that being some kind of middle group but then again, why stan musicians whose music you only find okay? Would you be a fan of an actor whose personality you like but find the movies they are in and their acting ability mediocre/okay?

I’ve been around for a long time and the way I think that’s possible, and why I think I will remain ARMY for years to come as well, is because I genuinely love their music, love spending time listening to it, reading about it, talking to others about it, but also because I adore the members, their personalities and who they are, their bonds, their variety show type content and vlives, and I adore vmin and namjin. While I love talking about vmin/namjin, if I had to just focus on that (as in the ‘ship’ aspect of their bonds) all the time, I’d get exhausted and/or reach a point where everything that could be said would be said, but because I also spend a lot of time with OT7 content and in non-shipper ARMY spaces, with their music, their other content, reading their interviews and everything else, it’s a “sustainable” way to be ARMY. And I’ve seen and spoken to other ARMYs who have been around far longer than me, some even having been around since the very beginning, even before their debut, and that's how they’ve remained ARMY since, because it was this package deal that they fall in love with, the fact that they spend their time engaging in different fandom discussions and activities, instead of hyper focusing on a certain part of it exclusively, like shipping.

Of course, if you fell in love with the package deal in your twenties while in a dark place but then reached your thirties and, with the help of their music (side note: while Namjoon (inspired by Seokjin) told us to use BTS to be happy, don’t put the “responsibility” of healing you/helping you heal solely on an artist, since that’s not fair or healthy, rather if you really need help/assistance/someone to talk to, please reach out to someone, friends or family, or a professional if you can) and other (outside) factors, reached a better place and don’t feel as connected to them anymore as you did before, it’s possible you might “unstan”, but that doesn’t have to mean you’ll move away from their music completely, that you’ll make a clean cut and never look back. Especially if they helped you, chances are they will always remain with you one way or another for a long time. At the same time, I guess it’s only natural that sometimes our interests and tastes change and the band you used to love might just not “do it” anymore for you. It’s human. There are bands I used to love as teen but don’t care about anymore nowadays because their music isn’t my taste anymore, I don’t connect with it the way I used to etc. Does something like that make you a fake fan? No, it just, well, makes you human. Though, like I said, at this point I don’t foresee that happening for me with Bangtan and there are a lot, and I mean a lot, of others who will tell you the same thing. We’re in this Bangtan sh*t for life, purple blooded. Even Namjoon joked about how once you get into Bangtan there is no exit anymore. Or that no jammer joke about how once you JimIN you never JimOut.

Lastly there’s also a whole conversation to be had of what will happen once the members start enlisting, or once the daily content turns into monthly, bi-monthly, every half year and eventually only sporadicly spread out throughout the year, when their music will be all that we’ll get instead of music + additional content like sns posts or RUN. What will happen when that day comes? Shippers and those interested in their personalities will stop “being fed” and eventually their interest will dwindle away. Those who need to constantly be engaged with and fed to remain interested will likely dwindle away and move on to other content/musicians that’ll keep them fed with new things on a regular. And those who are into their music, or the package deal, they’ll likely still be fans, still love their music and come back and be active when new releases come, still occasionally return to content like watching concerts or old RUN episodes, but even they won’t stick around the same way we all do right now. This isn’t to say that when that day comes we’ll find out who “the real fans are”, because the question of what a real fan is, is a whole other discussion to be had, but rather it’ll be a natural, normal part of fandom, of a musicians career, of a human cycle.

Take AC/DC as example, after so many decades they still have fans that show up when they release a new album, but I doubt those fans have active stan accounts and engage in daily fandom stuff the way you do with a constantly active/present artist like BTS etc. And I can imagine that’ll be Bangtan and ARMY much later down the line as well.

To sum it all up, I don’t think there is a black or white answer, merely a gray one.

fave era on this blog is 2018 bc that was ikon's return era and i was super super active and it was such a good escape from hs (it was my last year and I was really struggling) and I used to interact with my mutuals all the time!!!! nowadays I barely interact with anyone and I don't really want to get back into the kpop side of tumblr bc most people r so creepy and stupid abt it 😭 I just don't make internet friends like I used to which kind of makes me sad bc I feel like it was easier to become besties with someone when ur a kpoppie bc u have a lot of stuff to talk abt and there's always smth new happening?? and now idk... maybe the pandemic also fucked with my social skills on here 💀💀

THANK YOU FOR READING THE RULES!

MULTIMUSE! please specify which muse you want a reply from. as of now, it’s only one muse but more will be added in the future for sure. this blog used to be formerly known as @/lotusseeds & @/taleofwomen i most likely only write women because i just simply feel more comfortable with doing so. i do have the one or other male muses refering to my WEI MUSES & ZHI LI MUSE but these are outside of the fandom only per request and most likely for certain people!

IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY WHICH MUSE YOU WANT THE STARTER FOR, EVEN IF YOU’RE A MULTIMUSE TOO, I WILL IGNORE THE REQUEST!

MUSES! — i am usually not very picky but i will NOT roleplay any crossovers unless otherwise planned with my WEI MUSES. they are strictly mdzs/cql, aol or woh/tgcf based.

NSFW! i will write it, but it will most likely be on discord and now here. and if it does it will most likely be under a read more. i expect mun&muse to be over 18!

REPLIES!  i have a 40h+ work week, so replies will be slow. please bare in mind that real life comes first! i also do not expect you to reply right away, take your time. and by no means do you need to match my length. sometimes my muses are hella loud and have a lot of thoughts or things to say, i just do not want a one line in return. furthermore i do suffer from severe mental health issues so sometimes i do take months.

SHIPS! i ship chemistry above all, even if it’s canon it always depens on how both sides work. but let’s be real, i am screaming on the dash regularly for ships so if you are interested in shipping, please do tell me. the possibility is very high i want to ship too! *wink wink* but also PLEASE give me the platonic ones too. i love a healthy relationship!!!  also know once i am invested in it, i will make edits and yell at you in tiny becausei tend to get as said above, hella invested! multiverse & multiship!

TRIGGERS! i will try to tag every possible trigger that might appear. they will mostlikely be tagged as “ tw: trigger “. a fair warning is that you will see topics of drugs, violence, blood, gore and other nfsw topics on this blog, so please proceed with caution. for me my triggers includes #veins, i’d be happy if you could do so and tag it accordingly.

MEMES, PROMPTS & ETC! feel free to send them in even if we haven’t talked yet. it’s a good ice breaker. also please specify for who the meme is. and please don’t reblog them from me, i’m not a resource blog. thank you! ♥

MUN! i’m k, 26 & she/her. aego queen. lgbtq+ friendly.  gmt timezone. discord available for mutuals only! -- also able to rp on discord !! 

PERSONALS! personal blogs please do not follow, interact, like or reblog my posts please! it makes me incredibly uncomfortable and will most likely end up in being blocking you!

SOFT BLOCK! in case you decide to unfollow me, please do soft block me or tell me why.  my anxiety issues make me questions a lot of things and i will most likely get a whole ass breakdown, especially if we are close.

 BANNED FC’S! i do not mind kpop idols since i’m myself  a huge kpoppie too, but there are some limits to it. same goes for some actors such as:

BT.S

Bla.ckP.ink

Kw.on Na.ra

Supe.r Jun.ior

Jong.Hyun (CN.Bl.ue)

Se.ung.ri (Bi.gB.ang)

Jae (Da.y6)

K.ai (EX.O)

more to be added once i can think of more.

[daechwitas]

Not trying to sound like a bitch. But why can't you simply ignore the haters rather than giving them attention? Giving them attention just makes them continue doing what they are doing, because they know it's bothering someone like you. It's a waste of time, really. I try my best to ignore that side of kpoppies, I'm 23 and it's 2020, i ain't about to deal with teenager childish stuff lol Focus on streaming and supporting ✊✨

i rarely post anything reacting to "haters" on this blog but like, idk. because i wanted to in this instance? this is my blog. i don't give them my energy often because they aren't worth it, because this sort of petty beef IS childish. and i don't waste my time on groups i don't like. i focus on supporting bts plenty. 💖
