You know whats funny about kpop stans?

The concept of duality.

Like have you ever seen them use the the term “duality”?

Yeah its cause rooted in the fact these girls love to infantilize these grown ass men. Who are in there 20s hitting their 30s. They call them babies, literal kids, assume they are the purist and know absolutely nothing of the real world. But when the kpop stars just idk. Get angry, or do a sexy dance, or just give an intense gaze.

girls explode and go “OH THE DUALITY!!!”

Like bro. He’s human, he’s a complex human and pisses and shits like you do. These niggas can go and serve in the military and hold a gun, and have sex, and these girls will go “HE’S NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT HE IS LITERALLY TOO FRAGILE!!”

While simultaneously making erotic fanfiction of the kpop guy fucking his bandmate and showing it to the musicians.

Another thing. Like… stop acting like you know these people.

Stop making invasive essays about their personal life and how they ACTUALLY act

You treat these people like they arent even human. But little characters you play with. Like dolls. Projecting your disgusting fetishes onto real people. Like stop.

They’re people. Who didn’t consent to you being a fuck ass weirdo. Like stop. They’re human beings.

Why are you drawing them in lingerie and showing it to them.

Why are you writing weird mpreg fanfiction. Why are you harassing random girls who just stood next to them.

Dont idolize human beings for fucks sake.

notice how its really only a thing with kpop? theres an element of racism methinks

Fetishization is wonderful isn’t it?

trigger warning: death tw, suicide tw

i’ve been trying to figure out the right words to say for this post but, really, it doesn’t matter because what can be said that already hasn’t been? i began writing it before the confirmation from sm as something generalized, as a way to tell shawols to lean on each other during this difficult time and that much is going to get obvious as you make your way through to the end. this isn’t going to be eloquent because i’m still in shock. not in denial but shock and i feel like i’ll never be able to properly express what jonghyun not only meant to me but to all shawols and every fan of korean pop. 

jonghyun was a special person. he was kind and compassionate and he always did his best to make sure that those around him were happy, no matter who it was. he wasn’t perfect but he always went out of his way to fix anything he did wrong and he was constantly trying to better himself. he was always growing and learning. he fought for people who do not have as much of a voice in korea like the lgbt community and those in poverty. he dedicated his life to doing good and making shawols and those who loved him happy and proud. he gave so much to us and he never hid that he was struggling. he gave us so much in the last nine years and we can give back to him by keeping his memory intact in the way that he would have wanted us to: by supporting the other members, by supporting those closest to him, by remembering his music and by remembering the time that he spent with shinee. he fought hard and he did well and that’s what i’m going to be left with, despite the massive ache that i feel in my chest. i don’t know what else to write to justify him or how great of a person he was so i’ll leave it at that.

please keep his mother, older sister, jinki, kibum, minho and taemin in your thoughts along with all the other people that he is closest to. this is difficult for us but it’s just as difficult for them. please refrain from leaving anything but caring and supportive messages on their social networking accounts, if you leave any at all. 

as i said in my earlier post: i don’t really know what to say right now. i’m still in shock but i want everyone to know that we’re all in this together. i ask everyone to please take some time for themselves in the midst of all of this. please take care of yourself and those around you - whether it be simply talking to them or hugging them if you’re physically able to. also remember that if you need to take some time away from everything this is nothing wrong with that. you need to keep yours. i’m not going to close or delete this blog. i’m always going to be a fan of shinee. i’m just don’t feel right posting content on here when we’re all going to be in mourning. so, for the time being it’s on indefinite hiatus but it’ll always be around as a archive and as dedication to his life.

as of right now i’ve closed my inbox for submissions but i want to let you all know that i appreciate all the kind words that you’ve sent in not only for me specifically but about jonghyun. i’d also like to stress to reach out to other shawols (even if you do not consider them to be a close friend) if you do not have someone you can sit down and talk to properly. it also goes without saying: please do not take depression lightly. if you feel that you need help don’t hesitate to contact the following: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/

Bright and sweet!

I like how this MV has some visual similarities and ties to Taemin and Key’s MVs. Those being IDEA, the vacant expressions of the patrons in the similar bar with the mask kidnappers/bad guys and BAD LOVE strange/alien enemies, gooey green mess on the walls and retro whismy.

Of course it’s SHINee so it would have similarities and SM but I love seeing the familiar styles as it connects their worlds! And just to add that Minho’s heartbreak MV had a ‘real world’ similarity to Key’s HATE THAT and slightly Taemin’s ADVICE.

Onew is such a staple. Whenever I hear his voice I just feel good. A cute, fun, silly but artistic MV!

Note: As usual I might add more later! I paused the MV at the enemies dancing hall chainsaw scenes as I HAD to write down the thoughts ASAP! This is just similarities and not what I got story wise but I don’t think it’ll be as deep as I go with other MV’s which is aways nice because its hard work haha! Edits are under the notes.

Okay some story notes.

Each time Onew roles the dice he is a new (haha) person. Not soul wise but status. He tries to navigate the different circles but the only person to not be masked and like him is the girl who keeps being pulled away from him.

I think it’s showing the struggles one does to play the part to enter a world where they are deemed worth enough to be seen but even then because its not you everyone is strange and there is a disconnect. It shows how people can be judged by their appearance and blocked from progressing, including in love. They chase him away constantly and try to frighten him off, even though she herself doesn’t want to be in this hellish hotel (social group) and needs Onew.

But people often decide the fate of others, even though they’ll say its easy just do what you want the pressures of life really don’t make a simple thing easy. The simple thing being walking away from the masked thugs and soulless people to Onew.

It shows more often than note you have to just get lucky in life to get what you want which is extremely unfair but trying is always worthwhile, especially for something important and priceless like love.

It also shows that you don’t need a hero to save you. That just having the support of someone who is there can give you the courage to be your own hero.

She managed to get the strength to fight back because Onew was doing his best for her and that you can make your own luck by being tenacious and brave.

It’s about changing perspectives, (the shoe on the other foot), can improve your chances. We all see that Onew sees her trapped in the hotel. But what if she just needed Onew to be brave himself to take a chance for her, for her to be with him.

Trusting people is hard, even ones we fancy so putting yourself out their like Onew is a huge sign of showing trust and love. After all taking a chance for love is always a risk. We see Onew come into danger multiple times but she showed it was worth it.

Lastly looks can be deceiving. They both saved each other. Even though she looked more in danger it was actually Onew who was in more trouble than she was and rather then act the part she fought for him too. Love is equal. It’s hard to get the balance right but effort is important. Like the effort Onew took to get to her, she repaid that effort by working hard and saving him which rewarded both of them by escaping together.

They both took a chance for each other. They showed that they are serious and that it’s not just a little game of trying to get 'lucky’.
