the fact that taehyung sharing a song from rosé's new album is being seen as a fandom cleanse is wild LMAO

he's very clearly just showing support for a fellow artist in the field? they're probably friendly with one another, like this isn't a weird or crazy thing of him to do, yet it's somehow being treated as if he's out here wildin bc "damn he's doing a fandom cleanse" njkdfnd

can we please go back to the 2nd gen way of things, where they had collaborations galore and even sometimes starred in each other's music videos for shits and giggles like ??? can we go back to idols displaying regular ass collague-ship and camaraderie with one another ??? i miss that shit lol

treat idols like normal human beings again 2k25

treat idols like the musicians they are 2k25

man........... i have such an urge to speak my mind on the behaviour of some (unfortunately apparently a lot of) armys, 'cause i've been seeing some delusional, disrespectful and superiority complex type shit as of lately, but i won't bc i know people won't like it and i've seen people send hate for less, so. happy friday y'all lmao

[vknq]

why are there bare ass cheeks on my for you feed?

[vknq]

why am i an outliner................ i hate outlining.............

[vknq]

this. oh my god, this. stop overanalysing the smallest of interactions, please.

they were on stage! they were being brought back up on stage to stand in line for the closing ceremony. they can't just stand there and spend time chatting and greeting each other and quite honestly wasting the event's time.

i know it might sound harsh, but as someone who's worked at events, trust me when i say: the people working behind the scenes and behind the stage are STRESSED. if something is just the slightest bit delayed then everything is gonna be delayed. if people paid attention, they'd notice that gd was encouraged to get in line bc the closing ceremony was happening and he just stood next to taeyang bc, welp, he just happened to end up there lol

and also gd is incredibly shy and awkward, he's gonna cling to the people he's most comfortable with. i'm sure some of y'all will understand that, right? i mean i'm extroverted as shit, but i'll cling to my besties too lmao

also back to the people working the event for just a sec. sorry for hijacking your post op <33 but i've seen some armys claim that the event was hating on hobi and jungkook and bts as a whole bc they'd put "standing next to you" on, like in between shows i'm guessing, to fill any breaks of quiet, and they then turned it off and put on "APT" by rosé and bruno mars or sumn.... and listen...... listen......

it's not hate, ok? someone probably put the wrong song on and was told that "bitch we're supposed to play apt bc rosé is one of our guests here tonight" and they got stressed (more than they probably already were) and panicked and turned off jungkook's song. mistakes happen, panicked stress-fueled decisions happen. especially when working behind the scenes on a massive event such as this one. have some mercy on the staff, ok? just laugh it off. thank you.

Seen a lot of people on youtube talking about how little do both J Hope and GD respect each other cause thet didn't greet each other on the closing ceremony of Le Gala

Meanwhile Hobi in his live after Le Gala: "there were a lot of artists and I greeted them.. Same with Jiyong-ie hyung too and with Youngbae hyung too, I was really happy to greet them"

Can we just, he called him Jiyong-ie hyung, Hoseok who is very strict with this whole korean adressing culture, they are totally not just two idols who're on a mild acquaintances terms. Like not saying that they're friends-friends, but they at least are close enough for Hobi to call him the cute way lmao

also just look at GD's face when they looked at Hobi

He just went on full "🥰" mode

y'all... i just had to scroll past a 16.5k fic that was not put under read more. i bloody beg of you to please put your shit under read more if it's longer than like 1-2k!!! im sure the fic is great, but it's annoying as all hell lmao

[vknq]

hello everybody.

i realise i accidentally went on a bit of an impromptu hiatus. oops.

a lot of things happened in my personal life that have greatly affected me emotionally and it catapulted me into a depressive state that i have since come out of again. expectedly so, it stripped me of motivation and inspiration, and forced me to just take a break and tend to my wounds.

while i was off taking care of my mental health and prioritising emotional healing, i’ve also had time to think about my blog and more specifically my experience in the fic community.

NOTE: i’m not here to take a jab at readers or mindlessly complain about notes. that’s not at all what this is. i think enough people have talked about overall reader engagement and the lack of it. i see no reason to repeat their words, nor is it where the issue lies for me personally.

during the 6 or so months i’ve been here, i’ve experienced very empty support from fellow writers (no i ain’t gonna single anyone out bc it’s been a general issue of mine). i’ve had my upcoming works hyped up, my released fics supposedly saved to people’s tbr lists, i’ve had people ping me saying they’re totally gonna read my fics, whether that be on tumblr or discord, however less than half of said fellow writers went through with reading less than half of what they claimed to have very great interest in. and it’s not like they haven’t had the time. it’s been sitting there for months.

but okay, hear me out: i wanna make it very clear that i have absolutely no problem with people not reading my fics. i’d never force anyone to, i’d never expect my fics to be for everyone. if it’s not for you, then it’s not for you, and honestly it’s all good bro. but the thing that makes me feel great disappointment is when i’m being told to expect engagement... and then to not get any. expecting to hear from all the people that expressed to me they were gonna read my fics, only to hear nothing for months on end.. i don’t think it’s shocking that it left me feeling very disappointed. and the support and interest just feels empty, fleeting, and not genuine.

it has puzzled me ‘cause it comes from fellow writers who are very aware of the importance of engagement, even if it’s just a little. i am of course okay with someone not reading my fics and showing no interest in them. like i said; if it’s not for you, it’s not for you. it’s all good bro i’d never force it down anyone’s throat.

but don’t tell me you’re gonna read ‘em, if you’re not gonna read ‘em. it builds up expectation that is then never met. it’s a set-up with no pay-off.. and it has been particularly bad with my fic series, astral combat.

speaking of astral combat, it’s officially dropped. i have no desire to continue it. both for the reasons mentioned above, but also simply because of my own mistake of putting months of work into a fic that little to none will care about. that one is my own fault, like i shouldn’t have put my all into it, i was definitely doing too much. i know. the amount of effort and work i had to do on it... gosh, it’s just not worth it when the engagement is barely there. the imbalance is too harsh for me to continue it.

anyway, all these things have drained me of motivation, inspiration, and honestly it’s drained me of a wish to continue writing. ‘cause of empty support, fleeting interest, and a massively lacklustre sense of community.. even from fellow writers.

you are more than welcome to disagree and disregard this post, shrug it off, and keep scrolling. you have every right to do so. it’s 100 percent valid if your experience on this platform has been different from mine. this is simply me voicing how my experience has been. i think it’s very telling that i got tired after only 6 months lol

if you do disagree and feel the need to voice your opinion, i won’t stop you, you are free to do that, however i will ask of you to please not be rude, dismissive, or disrespectful about it. this post was not made to spark debate, but rather to just convey my reasoning as to why i’m gonna take a step back from writing fics... for now.

vsualitae is officially on a semi-hiatus.

i might write, i might not. i don’t know yet. i just know that right now i can’t be assed. excuse my french. i’d rather focus my energy on other goals i have in my life. i am a bit sad, ‘cause i have so many ideas for fics, however time will tell if i decide to write them or not. i guess you’ll know if i randomly pop in and jumpscare you with a release lmao

i do wanna say thank you to all of you that have read my published fics, especially those of you who have reblogged with reviews, i am beyond thankful for your kind support <3 know that i’ve taken it to heart and i really, really appreciate it!

i'm gonna say that in his case his lack of singing/rapping could've definitely affected his speaking voice, 'cause like we've all noticed there's a massive difference.

you can train your voice, both speaking and singing/rapping, to be deeper or lighter if you wish to. your voice is quite literally a tiny set of muscles and you can exercise them to be comfortable at a specific pitch. we see it a lot in the trans community: trans women exercising their voice to sound more high pitched and trans men doing the same but in reverse to have a lower pitch. and it's something they (mostly the women) have to keep doing, daily and weekly, to keep it from going back, if that makes sense.

now onto gd: taking into consideration how gd has spent just about his entire life (through puberty and all of his 20s) keeping his voice at a higher pitch, both for singing and rapping, it's to be expected that his voice would've felt comfortable staying there even when he was just speaking. 'cause it would've become a kind of default for it to float around in the higher register.

fast forward to now, where we're suddenly hearing this much deeper and raspier voice from him, which genuinely might be how his voice was naturally supposed to be, had he not spent puberty and onwards working it at a higher pitch. when you stop exercising the pitch of your speaking voice, just like with singing and rapping, it'll eventually go back to where it naturally wants to be. which in gd's case might be lower than we expected. seven years is more than enough time for it to revert back into a deeper register. lucky for him, he's already got access to that higher register, but it's obvious that he's experiencing fatigue and hoarseness in his voice after a while. 'cause he's out of practice with it. he's gotta put in the work continuously so that his voice once again can feel comfortable up there and start viewing it as a "new default" if you will.

i hope this makes sense haha it's a bit difficult to explain, but it's also why, when you do singing lessons, you are able to "unlock" more and more of your register. feel free to message me if you want to buddy <3

I think it's obvious GD has been smoking way too much over the last 10 years and his throat is very damaged. now that he's back to performing I think he's still trying to figure out what sounds good on stage. but power at yb's concert was not it 😶‍🌫️
