Hi! 6, 9, 19, 23, 44, 50, 80, 99 for the SuJu ask game 💙

hello! sorry if some of these answers are long lol thanks a lot for doing these questions! ❤️‍🩹

6. Favorite era?

in general i love 'play' era a lot, even if kyuhyun wasn't there i like to pretend he was really there hahaha. he is in some of the songs i think, but yeah. i love the album, the concept, the mv, everything is perfect and i'd give anything for ot9 suju to be on the album, or ot11 because i know there was a chance for kangin and sungmin to be included 🥺

fun fact: 'play' was the first album i heard completely because it caught my attention before 'timeless' which was the era i met them lol

9. First bias?

i don't know if i had a first bias tbh, i consider kyuhyun to be my first bias. the first member who caught my attention was leeteuk and then siwon so maybe i was more on their side until i fell for kyu. :)

19. Favorite vocal or dance moment of your bias?

-kyuhyun's voice in 'mamacita' 😵‍💫😵‍💫

-the 'she wants it' performance from super show 5, not only kyuhyun, i think all of them look hot pls i need another performance like that one guysssss.

-his dance break in 'super clap' 😭

23. Hottest photo or clip?

i'll list every moment i remember, not only my bias lmao

-whole d&e 'take it slow' performance

-whole leeteuk's fancam and that shindong dance break in '2ya2yao' (because '2ya2yao' is my bitch and i love that song)

-ryeowook sexy dance break in super show 8

-eunhyuk eating out a mango 😭

-this kyuhyun in bonamana? YES PLEASE

i can go all day with this but i leave it here for now haha

44. A type of song or concept you’d like to see from SuJu or a specific member/subunit?

praying for a dark concept someday, that's all i ask

50. Favorite live performance?

in love rn with 'opera' and 'heads up' from ss8, also 'ticky tocky' + 'paradox' + 'mystery' from ss9. i don't know who had this idea of mixing these masterpieces together but i would kiss that person.

80. What albums, photocards, or merch do you own?

i have suju bong version 2 only and one 'road keep on going' version, the blue version lol my treasures.

99. If SuJu could do anything you wanted, what would you want them to do? (E.g, perform a song live, bring back a member, etc.)

i'd like to live ot11/ot13 at least someday and a suju-m comeback :( consider old elfs lucky yourselves if you got to live this experience because i had to get to know them through old shows and clips 🥹💔

An autumnal update!

The Journey Book included in the Space Shuttle No. 8 album box set tells the story of how Sunshine, The Writer from the Space Shuttle No. 8 trailer, and other characters from the SS8 MVs are connected within a virtual reality simulation. Scans of the box set and story are here. (Thank you, vani-ash!)

Damon from Happy Ending: The Series made his onstage concert debut at Siam Halloween 2024. (As shubaka pointed out, this conveniently avoids any name confusion with Siam the corset-wearing vampire from 2023.)

Sunshine made a Halloween concert appearance at Enchanted Fest 2024.

The Demon of Fire is how Jeff's persona was referred to in the promotional materials for Enchanted Fest 2024. English translation:

"Jeff Satur | Demon of Fire: The eternal vulture hunter, filled with fiery and eternal power. Join House of Fire with our hero as we prepare to enter the haunted magical realm of Enchanted. Prepare to enter the world of ferociousness in 'YUMYUM presents Enchanted Fest 2024.'"

Jeff Satur Cinematic Universe - A WIP Primer

aka, Jeffcest. This is a work-in-progress, compiling info for the JeFFFFFFFFest 2024 exchange. Please feel free to add and amend!

Overview: Jeff Satur's music videos tell stories with interesting characters. Over time, some of those characters have reappeared and begun interacting with each other. Here are a few of the most common you’ll run into!

Sunshine - gifset by perths

Sunshine made his first appearance in the Dum Dum MV. He has blue hair and “Sunshine Moonshine Love Die” tattooed on his neck and chest. Sunshine later appeared in the Space Shuttle No. 8 Asia Tour Promo Trailer in a pale blond wig alongside another Jeff.

When Jeff was called on to do a sexy version of Dum Dum on Chuang Asia, he said he was too shy and that he would have “another [him]” perform it instead; he performed as Sunshine. During Space Shuttle No. 8 in Bangkok concerts, he had a body double in Sunshine’s wig onstage with him, and sang ‘Stranger’ to him. Sunshine also appeared in projections during the concerts, along with the quote:

Sunshine noun.  a god who honestly feels emotions, never lies to themselves, and will stay forever in your soul.

Jeff confirmed that Sunshine and Moonshine are different characters with similar appearances. In Dum Dum, one of them has a metal attachment over his arm when they appear onscreen together. There’s a third Jeff, sometimes referred to as ‘Businessman Jeff’, who is killed and then gasps back to life at the end of the video.

Ghost & Husband - gifset by guzhufuren

Also called Clone, Ghost appears as the titular character in the Ghost MV, who is revealed to be a clone of another Jeff (commonly ‘Husband’ or ‘Military Jeff’). Clone/Ghost has implants down his spine. He was captured by the military (specifically, Military Jeff) and freed by Military Jeff's Wife at the end of the video.

In the Yellow Leaf MV, it’s revealed that Clone/Ghost doesn’t age. He still has the same appearance many decades later, after Husband has died. Husband/Military Jeff is implied to have spent time during the Ghost MV in outer space (there’s a rocket launch at the beginning of the video). There's a love triangle between Husband, Clone, and their Wife (she accepts a different wedding/engagement ring from each of them).

Rain God - gifset by laurenkmyers

Jeff held a fanart contest for Halloween 2023, and the winning entry depicted him as a rain god. He posted a photo/video shoot on his Instagram dressed to match the fanart. There was a joke on the Black Tie set that Jeff was a rain god, because the rain for the courtyard scene began when it was time to film and ended once they finished shooting it.

Black Tie - gifset by guzhufuren

Jeff in Black Tie is sometimes referred to as ‘Black’ or 'Red' depending on what he's wearing. He has a bow tie tattooed across his throat. He appears in black-and-white when alone, and in color when shown with other people–which includes his own reflections in mirrors. He may also be able to control other people's movements when they're shown 'mirroring' him.

Lucid - gifset by guzhufuren

Lucid is the titular character in the Lucid MV. He might be one of the fae folk, or a lost boy from Neverland. He appears injured and wild in someone’s bedroom…or possibly their dream. He has long hair and anachronistic clothes, with a cut across the bridge of his nose. At the end of the video he’s seen at the base of a tree (possibly dead), almost completely covered in flowers.

Steal the Show - gifset by whitecerberus

Jeff appeared along with Shaun in the Steal the Show MV. They have a passionate rivalry and/or flirtation. There’s a lot of imagery in this video, including Jeff hanging off a giant birdcage which Shaun is separately seen trapped inside. This character has been referred to as ‘Thief’ and ‘Passion.’ Shaun’s character is referred to as ‘Reason.’

00008 - gifset by guzhufuren

In an effort to give his fans heart palpitations, Jeff released the Dum Dum Unchained Live MV. He appears chained on his knees in a basement or warehouse, wearing a lace blindfold, with finger-shaped bruises around his neck. There are additional bruises all over him, and a tattoo that reads ‘00008’ below his left collarbone. The number is now believed to refer to Jeff’s first album, Space Shuttle No. 8.

SS8 - gifset by guzhufuren

The Space Shuttle No. 8 Asia Tour came with its own promo trailer, in which a dark-haired Jeff and a pale-haired Sunshine (from Dum Dum) face off on a train in outer space, which has “departed the Saturn hemisphere” and is “now en route into the unknown.” On the train are references to many of Jeff’s previous songs and videos, including Highway (a flower), Loop (a clock), Lucid (a flower crown), Black Tie (a photo on the front page of a newspaper with the headline “Jeff Satur: Escape…From Earth!”), Complicated (a bloody hammer), Fade (a record player), and Comedy (playing in the background).

Other Jeffs

During the Space Shuttle No. 8 in Bangkok concerts, Jeff wore a black feather cape that spread into wings for his cover of ‘Feeling Good.’ (You can see a glimpse of Bird Jeff, as well as his body double Sunshine, in this Est Cola video.)

The Fade MV shows him being reincarnated through several different time periods, always connected to the same person, up to the present day. (In the present, his name is Jeff, and hers is Trinity.)

The Scar MV with bodyslam shows him levitating into the scene, and at the end he crosses into a portal. There’s a lot of imagery in this video as well.

For his Siam Halloween Concert 2023, Jeff dressed up as a vampire, in a corset with blue contact lenses and fangs.

During The Kingdoms concert, he was referred to as the ‘King of Darkness’, mentioned being in hell, and was shown in promotional materials and projections with a (small) eagle.

Additional Jeffs include (but are not limited to) the astronaut in a space bar in the Far MV with Silvy, the caged fallen angel in Law of Attraction from Call Me By Fire, the imprisoned/enthralled therapy patient in Animal World from Call Me By Fire, and the bystander caught up in gang-related violence in the Complicated MV.

”My All is in You”💙 - Super Junior (Bonamana album, this is SS8 stage)💙💖🌷🌺

[yeyeteukies]

[ifonlysj]

suju au not not really; donghae & hyukjae get into a car accident and share a fever dream/coma where everything goes "right" for suju:

heechul doesn't get his leg injured in the car accident, kangin doesn't own a car because he is traumatised from what happened to heechul, teuk/shin/hyuk/kyu don't get into a car accident. kyu's father never has to fear that his son might lose his voice or his life. hankyung doesn't leave because he's unhappy with SM, SM makes sure to let ELFs know that zhoumi and henry are part of suju but will not change the original lineup or suju, kibum goes on hiatus from making music with suju to focus on his acting but doesn't actually leave suju... sungmin gets married after his military discharge. henry opens a studio under label sj, zhoumi releases his new music, d&e comebacks are frequent, and super junior goes well

and then they wake up.

and hyukjae asks for shindong, then comfortably asks for hankyung's opinion during the planning for beyond the super show and just hears absolute deafening silence. donghae endures pokes from someone sitting on his bed before yelling "stop it, kibum!" the entire room remains silent and donghae pushes himself up only to realise he's moved out of the dorm a long time ago. it's his mother, who came to stay with him for a bit, looking down worriedly at him. and he wants hyukjae, but hyukjae moved out from their estate to go live with kyuhyun. when leeteuk and heechul avoid each other at the next suju meet up, donghae asks where is hankyung to patch up the rift between the two and the entire table goes silent. when ryeowook uses informal language towards hyukjae, and hyukjae says: "don't do that, kibum will get mad", laughing, turning to kibum, who's not there. when donghae orders food for thirteen (because zhoumi and hankyung are quarantined in china) during a company briefing and has to pretend he ordered extra just for the staff. when hyukjae laces his fingers around donghae's and squeezes just lightly, sharing a look that just says simply, "i know." when d&e are asked about collaborating with henry and they forget he's left.

when hyukjae is working and replanning his concerts because SS8 got cancelled and he wants to do more beyond stages. when he asks shindong if he planned out the formations well enough and shindong just stops and. breathes. and shindong says, not unkindly, "you're planning for too many members." when hyukjae runs through his setlists with his staff and they ask if he's alright when he tears up at the beginning of the song "twins". when he sees heechul calling (labelled "best friend heechul" on his phone) and he just can't bear it and he just turns his phone over and lies back in bed and wants to sleep for a long time. when he's hosting on weekly idol and KRY come to promote their new album and he asks "who envies your new album the most?" and yesung fires back with "who do you think?" and before he can stop himself, hyukjae says "kangin" and kwanghee laughs way too loudly, fake and cheerful and hyukjae's smile slides off his face. "i'm sorry" he says, voice trembling and they cut the cameras to give him a break. when they have to do the v-live and hyukjae puts out a hand to stroke yesung's head because he loves his hyung, and yesung brushes him off as a joke and hyukjae forgets and his face drops.

hyukjae doesn't want to forget. he doesn't want to remember. he wishes he never got into that accident.

when donghae turns up at the suju dorms with nothing, just holding his phone, and tumbles into hyukjae's bed like they're still sixteen and trainees and tired and cramped and there's leeteuk snoring softly in the corner with his mouth wide open, shindong curled up on the bunk above them, heechul in His Space with siwon and hankyung on either side of him, bolsters separating them and yet heechul's fingers are touching hankyung's (just barely), sungmin and kangin sleeping back to back, refusing to face each other even while asleep and kibum and ryeowook tucked together, which they will blatantly deny the next morning, and kyuhyun sleeping on the floor, exhausted. and yesung, sitting against the wall with his legs crossed, reading a book and looking up, narrowing his eyes at the both of them and bringing a finger up to his lips to shush them.

and donghae wants what he can't have.

that shit. that shit fcked me up inside so i just gotta share~

[sometime-in-1995]

Can someone please explain to me why did the SS8 details came out first before the album/comeback like dude, I'm shookt and confused but okay 😂💙

Hyukjae.

NOTES

Draft tulisan ini sebenarnya kutulis pada September 2018. Lalu setelah setahun lebih draft ini kutinggalkan, aku mulai melanjutkannya lagi di sela-sela waktu kosongku di kantor. Ya.

Well, here it goes.

Kamis, 20 September 2018

Aku tidak tahu kenapa setiap aku stuck mengerjakan sesuatu yang bersifat atau berhubungan dengan bidang akademis, otakku malah memproses ide untuk postingan blog-ku selanjutnya.

Ya. Tulisan ini pada awalnya dibuat ketika aku sedang mengerjakan PPT untuk presentasi di Klinik tempatku mengambil data untuk skripsi. Lalu. Malah. Nulis. Ya.

Setidaknya aku masih bisa melakukan hal produktif lain.

Anggap saja writing therapy.

Kembali pada hal yang membuatku terpancing untuk menulis postingan kali ini adalah, bermula pada niatanku untuk mencari lagu-lagu Ne-Yo di Spotify. Aku merasa mendengar lagu-lagu Ne-Yo dan lagu yang setipe dapat membantuku fokus mengerjakan PPT. Namun keinginanku tidak berjalan mulus. Aku menemukan playlist “Best of ‘00s Pop”, di mana SEMUA lagunya jelas aku tahu. Jelas aku suka. Dan jelas memiliki kenangan tersendiri. Tahu nggak sensasi kembali ke masa lalu ketika mendengar sebuah lagu? Nah. Itu. Yang membuatku pecah fokus dan malah menulis ini.

Lalu, apa kenangannya?

Sebenarnya aku malu menjawabnya, namun Eun Hyuk Super Junior alias Lee Hyuk Jae lah jawabannya.

Lah, terus kenapa?

Ehm, jadi, begini. Sejak SMP, aku sudah terjerumus ke dalam jurang tanpa ujung yang bernama dunia k-pop. Dulu bisa dibilang aku maniak banget. Aku beli dan simpan sebanyak mungkin hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan bias alias member favoritku. Dan member favoritku ya.. dia. Eun Hyuk Super Junior.

Aku tahu kegilaanku berada di puncaknya ketika aku membuat fan fiction yang memasangkan Eun Hyuk denganku.

IYA AKU TAHU INI MENJIJIKKAN DAN MEMALUKAN.

Tapi dulu tipe fan fiction macam gini terkenal, loh. Pada masa itu biasanya si penulis memasangkan dirinya dengan member favoritnya. Latarnya belakang si karakter perempuannya bisa berasal dari kalangan biasa (yang lalu berpacaran dengan idol) atau si karakter merupakan member dari grup (khayalan) tertentu. Atau bahkan ada yang membuat AU sendiri. Dan aku masuk ke kategori kedua. Juga yang membuat AU sendiri. HAHAHA.

Bagiku, menulis cerita dengan plot kedua itu sangatlah membantu, karena kita seperti sudah mendapat prompt untuk menulis. Prompt ini biasanya bisa dari update SNS mereka, konser, kegiatan promosi album, atau apapun yang berhubungan dengan kehidupan nyatanya. Kita tinggal membuat plot yang sejalan dengan kehidupan dan boom. Jadilah cerita seri yang ga usah terlalu pusing untuk menulis lanjutan serinya. Selain cerita dengan background aku sebagai idol, aku juga membuat universe lain dengan latar sekolah. Jadi aku dan Eun Hyuk hubungannya semacam senpai-kouhai di SMA, lalu berlanjut menjalin kisah cinta ((AMPUN)) hingga kuliah. Nah, saat kuliah, muncullah rival Eun Hyuk, yaitu Chanyeol.

Ya. Chanyeol EXO.

Ya. Aku juga suka dia.

SUDAH CUKUP JANGAN HUJAT AKU.

Selain fan fiction, kind of obsessku kepada Eun Hyuk berlanjut hingga aku membeli pernak-pernik berbau Eun Hyuk. Akupun sampai membeli album ke-5 Super Junior (iya, yang segede gaban itu) versi Eun Hyuk.

Ya. Semaniak itu.

#np kumaha dinya welah.

Namun dari semua kegilaan itu, yang sama sekali tidak kumengerti adalah, aku tidak mengalami hal yang serupa dengan orang lain. Ya sebut saja Chanyeol. Aku memang suka dia, tapi rasanya rasa sukaku tidak sejauh dengan Eun Hyuk. Gila memang segitu gap umurku satu dekade dengan Eun Hyuk. Dan jika dibandingkan, tentu ada beberapa aspek yang dimiliki Chanyeol dan tidak dimiliki Eun Hyuk. Tapi tetap saja aku tergila-gila padanya.

EW WHAT A WORD CHOICE. e_e

Aku pun tidak terlalu tertarik dengan boygroup lain. Kalaupun tertarik, hanya semacam musiman saja. Dan kembali, tidak sejauh aku dengan Eun Hyuk.

Apa mungkin karena aku lama juga ya, suka Eun Hyuk?

Entahlah.

Bisa dibilang, masa remajaku sebagian besar kuhabiskan bersama Eun Hyuk.

Tidak hanya obsesi tidak jelasku, aku juga sedikit banyak terinspirasi olehnya dalam beberapa aspek kehidupan. Contoh. Eun Hyuk adalah salah satu idol yang sangat atletis dan unggul dalam olahraga. Buktinya dia ikut berpartisipasi dalam acara Dream Team, seperti acara Benteng Takeshi tapi versi lebih seriusnya. Dia juga pernah diundang di acara Running Man, bergabung dengan tim idol atletis lainnya. Melihat dari contoh itu, aku menaruh perhatian lebih pada olahraga. Aku jadi (agak) terobsesi dengan sports apparel dan brandnya, aku juga ingini membentuk otot lengan atas dan otot perutku. Semua terinspirasi (mungkin) oleh Eun Hyuk.

Eun Hyuk juga dikenal sebagai salah satu dancer terbaik di dunia kpop. Gerakannya pun mempunyai ciri khas yang tidak ditemukan pada idol posisi dancer lainnya. Hubungannya dengan kehidupanku adalah… beberapa tahun yang lalu aku terjun ke dunia dance cover. Pada awalnya aku berniat untuk mengcover SJ. Posisinya? Bukan Eun Hyuk, sayangnya. Karena dia main dancer, tentu saja dia mendapat lebih banyak koreo, dan tentu saja koreo yang tingkat kesulitannya di atas rata-rata. Saat itu aku audisi dengan lagu SJ M – Perfection. Ya. Aku belajar koreo itu sendiri melalui video.

Singkat cerita, aku sudah memiliki grup coverku sendiri. Tidak, aku tidak mengcover boyband. Aku mengcover girl band dan aku mendapat posisi visual. Haha. Tapi. Hubungannya dengan cerita Eun Hyuk di atas adalah… aku ingin menjadi dancer seperti Eun Hyuk. Aku ingin menjadi dancer yang gerakannya bagus, memiliki karisma dan image yang berbeda di stage. Dan kurasa aku sudah mencapainya karena beberapa orang bilang kalau aku di stage dan di kehidupan sehari-hari terlihat sangat berbeda.

Beberapa di antara kalian mungkin mengira kalau aku benar-benar hard core, dalam arti aku benar-benar mengikuti Eun Hyuk, mulai dari update, acara variety show, radio, photoshoot, show….. ENGGA. SAMA SEKALI ENGGA.

Intensitasku untuk menambah ilmu Eun Hyuk (?) berkurang saat aku kuliah. Aku teralihkan oleh grup-grup lainnya, seiring dengan menghilangnya member SJ yang pergi wajib militer. Perhatianku terpecah dengan EXO, BTS, Seventeen, dan grup lainnya. Seingatku.. aku sempat “maniak” lagi saat SJ comeback Black Suit….? Kurasa. Lalu atensiku padanya surut kembali karena kesibukan dunia nyata. Lalu naik lagi saat D&E comeback Bout You. Lalu turun lagi. Lalu naik lagi saat SS8 in Jakarta. Begitu tahu SS8 akan diadakan di Jakarta, aku kembali fokus ke SJ. Aku mulai menambah mutual ELF. Bahkan aku sendiri tidak yakin dengan statusku apakah aku masih layak disebut ELF atau hanya Jewel saja.

Aku suka SJ? Ya. Aku mendukung mereka? Ya. Tapi kalau ditanya hal-hal detail kecil yang lebih khusus seperti siapa nama peliharaan member _____ atau di show ini member ______ mengatakan kalau _______, aku sudah tidak bisa menjawab. Terlalu banyak hal yang menurutku lebih penting daripada menghafal sekian fun fact di umurku yang sekarang. Saat aku SMA mungkin masih bisa dibilang normal, tapi mengingat usiaku yang sebentar lagi seperempat abad, target hidupku yang jauh lebih penting, rasanya aku tidak bisa mengejar mempelajari semua itu. Setiap fans tentu saja berbeda, mereka memiliki preference yang berbeda, tapi bagiku, real life >>>>>>>>>> fangirling life.

Sure, tentu saja aku masih menyukai mereka. Aku masih menikmati show mereka, perform dan karya mereka, tapi untuk lebih jauh dari itu… kurasa aku tak mampu. Kadang ketika jiwa fangirling di dalam diriku mulai memberontak dan memaksaku untuk mengikuti jalan ninjanya, aku suka merasa bersalah. Like, you know you’re wasting your time, you can do other productive things instead of crying in front of you phone or laptop screen. Tapi kadang aku suka bodo amat kalau sudah stres sama real life, hehe.

Untuk mengikuti trend/culture stan twitter pun aku kesulitan (ya, aku aktif kembali di twitter fangirlku). Untuk beberapa hal aku merasa seperti… keknya gausah gitu deh; paan sih geje banget; dan pikiran-pikiran lainnya. Beberapa tweet fans yang lewat di timelineku sedikit banyak membuatku mengernyit saking tidak pahamnya. Tapi… kuakui dulu juga aku seperti itu. Dan aku jauh lebih freak dari tweet orang yang lewat di timelineku. Aku bersyukur juga, sih, sudah melalui masa hype alay norakku, hahaha. Meskipun nampaknya beberapa karakter hype alay norakku itu masih ada yang terbawa sampai sekarang.

Mungkin… untuk sekarang aku akan fangirling over him on my own way. Karena sudah susah juga kalau memaksakan diri untuk spazzing over him seperti dulu, saat aku masih berstatus pelajar. Sekarang sudah banyak hal yang lebih penting—pekerjaan, keluarga, masa depan….

As a closing for this post….

Ada yang mau mutualan di twitter? xDD

[ofmanywiles]

tbh ive been simultaneously distracting myself and trying to gather my thoughts and feelings for the past couple of days

i was already emotional over the fact that sj were finally coming back ~as a whole after their ‘military hiatus’, and idk in a way her death made me appreciate that theyre back and that theyre even still going after 14 years. even though i didnt have like .... ~emotional attachment to her (in that she wasnt exactly a ~bias and ngl i hadnt really been following kpop for the past few years, let alone her career esp after she left f(x)), the fact that f(x) were the first girl group that i followed right from their pre-debut kinda just really hit me. idk how to separate my thoughts. ive just been listening to sj’s album on repeat for the past two days, just enjoying the fact theyre back but at the same time worrying about how theyre coping. im glad they still have each other and theyre as close as they are. but it still worries me esp since teuk has spoken about his depression before, but also his tendency to keep his struggles to himself. but hopefully the members will be able to help each other through this difficult time.

i hope they can still feel the fans support for them. it hurts to hear that teuk had thought this would be their last comeback while preparing for the album because they seemed to be losing fans and people were moving onto younger newer bands and their last couple of releases hadnt been great successes. i guess that’s why there’s all the nostalgic references throughout the album and the whole ~newtro concept. and im glad that his mind was changed after seeing the support at ss8, but it still hurts. i mean, fine, yeah, i hadnt really been into kpop that much since maybe around 2014?? and i didnt keep up to date with their music tbch but they were one of the few groups id actually bother to think about and go back and catch up on every few months.

simply because of the fact that they were the ones who got me into kpop.

and theyre the ones who brought me back.

(well... kyu returning from military to be accurate lmao)

man.... personally its been over a decade. probably around 12 years?? all i can definitely remember is that u was the mv that really introduced me to sj and kpop, that chul in dont don reminded me of reno in ff7:advent children lmfao, but it was defo before sjm debuted, so yeah late 2007-early 2008 was when i got into kpop.

tbh the anticipation this comeback takes me back most clearly to sorry sorry. the first album i really ~waited for, the first album i bought (with multiple versions lmfao rip pocket money). a decade later, i had the same feelings of following all the build up, the teasers. obviously theres a lot More this time round, what w social media and sj returns lmao but just simply the feelings of looking forward to a comeback are the same, with an extra hit of nostalgia, and the thoughts of what ifs, couldve beens ......

actually thinking back to sorry sorry era kinda makes my heart ache. that song and album really pushed them to the forefront of kpop - not my favourite sj song but it is special simply for the success it brought them. but also it was the last time really all of them were together. maybe thats why it is so special. yeah it is overplayed, and it’s not exactly a musical masterpiece, and we mock how it was basically remade into miina and mr simple.

but the memories it holds. of the making of hallyu kings. of ot13.

and ten years later now theyre back as whole as they can be again.

and i hope that, even though the promotions aren’t going smoothly, they can have that feeling of success again, in whatever sense of the word it may be for them. it’s not been easy, these fourteen years. we still believe in u. ur fans are still here. thank you for brightening my days, with your chaos and with your music. thank you for even bringing me into kpop, despite the misgivings i have about the fandom and the industry. maybe ur not perfect, but thank you for being people, idols, a group, for others to look up to. despite all the setbacks and everything that’s been chucked at you, metaphorically, uhh literally, thank you for showing us ur perseverence and loyalty. thank you for giving me the opportunity to be ur fan, whether you are 12, 13, 15, 10, or 9, or less.

thank you for being super junior though maybe not so junior now

The Journey Book Photos from Space Shuttle No.8 Album ( 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 ) Album my photos

[shubaka]

AHHHH!!! SS8 ALBUM!!!

[hyukgums]

new ask challenge! ✴ name 5 unpopular opinions you have and send this ask to 5 more blogs you want to get to know better!

WOW! thank you i just saw this. i lost the pw to my old blog but the other day i searched me up and i used to talk so much more on there! mizz. probably also because i’ve gotten lazieeer but asks are nice

and i’m probably gonna just write sj related opinions since this is an sj blog….

1. I love 2JIB? it’s such a solid album start to finish and dont don is such a dramatic title and the ss2 performance is a fave. minus the ugly ELFs.

2. I wished hyukjae got harder choreographies. maybe not in sj lives but just as a dancer; because sj dances have been watered down over the years (with the exception of maybe replay and play era) and I rlly wna see him do something more intense, especially since the whole reason he quit variety was to step up his dancing ah. but not now though. IF THAT BOY DONT REST HIS FOOT I SWEAR–

3. there’s a lot of reasons i’m scared to go abroad but like of all the trivialities how if ??? ss8?? comes to sg??? and im not there??? since UK/US/AUS is practically non existent to SJ i guess 

4. hyukjae has gone from twink to twunk in the last 9 years but idk dont quote me on this.

5. one on myself ?? i guess?? i don’t like wearing foundation. its like impossible in sg anyway. my makeup routine is like brows blush lips and then going outside for like an hour.

Friends in my fandom circles, we have been plotting and planning today over in the JeFFFFFFFFest Discord.

The AO3 gods have heard our tagging prayers, and "Jeff Satur - Works & Related Fandoms - All Media Types" is now synced to "Space Shuttle No. 8 - เจฟ ซาเตอร์ | Jeff Satur (Album)", which we believe is the best way to nominate Jeffcest characters. This will cover Sunshine, Ghost, Lucid, Black Tie, and others from the music videos.

I'm additionally going to nominate "Steal the Show - Shaun & เจฟ ซาเตอร์ | Jeff Satur (Music Video)", because Passion isn't covered by SS8 and we all know who my secret favourite is, even when I claim I don't have one.

I also plan to nominate Mysterious Lotus Casebook because I want my beloved He Xiaohui on the character list.

4 Minutes, Dead Friend Forever, Man Suang, The Paradise of Thorns, Happy Ending, Langya Bang (novel), Call Me By Fire, Rain God Instagram Post, and Scar (Music Video) are also eligible. (ETA: KinnPorsche RPF is eligible, but will require an evidence post. I love you, KP fandom, but you don't know how to tag your fics.)

I'm happy to answer questions about Yuletide if you have them!

It's the most wonderful time of the year: Yuletide is here! Fandom nominations are now open, with sign-ups next month.

What's Yuletide, you ask? An annual fic exchange for rare and obscure fandoms. The commitment is low (a 1k fic for your recipient, who will be matched by fandom and character interests), but the payoff is high! You are guaranteed to receive a completed fic in a fandom you love (and I do mean this...pinch hitting is taken very seriously if your original creator defaults).

This is where you can ask for the fanfic of your dreams. Fic for that TV show you loved that was canceled after a few episodes! Fic for the weird and wonderful music video of your heart! Fic for that eternally unfinished novel series you still have on your bookshelf! Fic for short stories, for webcomics, for manga, for mythology, for RPF, for artworks, for games, for commercials, for anything you can imagine.

If you have ever thought, "No one but me will ever care about this thing," have no fear. Someone else is out there for you, and they are sharpening their pencils.

I became an ELF in the Summer of June of 2012. I was so bored one day at home. That time, I started living away from my family because I need to study. I remember liking the song Mr. Simple so I searched the MV. Let's just say I was immediately hook. SFS was my first comeback as an ELF. 2013 was a tough year for SuJu as they didnt have a comeback because of their military and I started finding another fandom but when they came back with Mamacita. I got reeled back to the fandom hard. I was also having a hard time in school that time and I found comfort in their song 'Raining Spell for Love'. I remember sleepless nights crying to this song. I felt so much comfort just listening to this song that when I wake up the next day its as if my sadness didnt even exist.

Mamacita era ended and I wasn't hooked with Devil and Magic era because I wasnt able to stream as much and I started college then and I want to help my parents as much as possible so I studied well. I still streamed their songs but didnt have the connection before where I wouldnt even skip their songs. Black Suit, Lo Siento and One more time era came and it was still the same. Listened but not hooked.

Then I heard SS7 in Manila was going to happen. I didnt go. It didnt hype me much so I really didnt bother.

2 years into college I got depressed. And when I started internship, it became seriously worse. I didnt know what will I do after a graduate. I was so scared of the real world that it gave me panic attacks. My mother always worried about me because she didnt know what was happening to me as I was doing great with studies.

I talked to my mother that maybe I was just tired. Tired from life. So I talked to my mom if I could take a break after graduating before taking the board exam for a license of my pursued profession.

6 months later and I'm still the same person as I was before. I graduated but I'm depressed, still tired, not looking forward in life and I'm so lost with life. I felt like going no where with my life. I was already having suicidal thoughts and worry grew over my mother. I was always stuck in bed for days. I would only get up to eat or to go to the bathroom.

One day, I scrolled through Facebook and saw that Kyuhyun was discharged from the army and that they will be preparing for an album. For the first time in 5 years, I was excited for their comeback. I was happy somehow again. For the first time in months I was looking forward to something again. I got to stream their comeback live. I was so happy. I kept streaming their variety shows. I was so active this Super clap era.

Then SS8 in Manila was announced. I begged my mother to allow me to go. She eventually said yes. I had fun camping as I wait for ticket selling inside the mall. Met a lot of other Elfs. I was enjoying myself.

Concert Day came and I was so ecstatic. I tried to memorize their faces . I keep staring at them. I get to hear a lot of my favorite songs in SS8. There was a moment in #SS8inManila where Leeteuk said there are already preparing for an album and anticipate to see them again in SS9 in the Philippines. Beforehand, I told myself that this will be my first and last concert. Because since I am in my early 20s, I kind of wanted to have a goodbye to my childhood idols. But when Leeteuk said that, something in me ignited. I dont know what it was but I was sure I wanted to attend a Super Show again.

It was not until I came home after the concert that I started crying so hard. I looked at my pictures where I took a pic of my LS with the Sapphire Blue ocean. I remembered my dream back in 2012 that being part of the Sapphire Blue ocean will make me the happiest girl alive. I just then realized that I fulfilled the dream of my 12 year old self. If my old self was looking at me now, she will be so proud of me despite of all the things I did.

I then remembered my current dream The dream of becoming a doctor. The dream of helping others when they are in pain. Days before the concert I felt like that dream were so hard to achieve and is so far away that I dont deserve to even have it. Now, Super Junior made me realize that I'm worthy. I'm still worthy for my dreams.

I cried in front of my mother that day. I said that I was okay now. That she didnt need to worry about me anymore. My mother hugged me hard and she was smiling so widely. I cried hard again. I was finally happy.

Now I am preparing for my board exams, with my heads up high because I know Super Junior is my safe place and that they wont let me slip into the dark place again. That thought alone makes my heart swell with happiness.

Now going back, I thought of how was I coping with sadness then, it was not until the concert that I realized that Super Junior was the reason I didnt became sad. They helped me so much in ways I didnt even know. Now as I look into the future, I will walk in a flower path. I will be forever in debt to Super Junior. They saved me. And I do believe this song was God sent because every line here desribes how I am feeling now. I feel as if this song is just for me. They helped me again in finding my path. I found my happiness again. I will always be thankful to Super Junior and I will forever return the favor. Always an ELF, Forever an ELF.💙💙

Thank you for reading up to this point. I do hope you also find your happiness. I bless you in all of your endeavors and may you and your loved ones be rained with good things and blessings. 💙💙💙
