If your car broke down in the middle of the road, who in shinee would be the last person you would call? Why?

Key Hyung…I don’t think he would know how to actually help me fix the car

music

What American shows/dramas do you watch Taemin? I love you!!

I am really into Stranger Things

Taemin!!! What is one of the most notable choreography or composition changes you have made to your solo music!! <3

I had a lot of input in the choreography of “Artistic Groove” especially the making of the chorus. Please look forward to it

as of late, i’ve had many blingers reach out to me (both through messages on here and through my curiouscat) and based on a common trend that i have picked up on in what they have said to me i figured it wouldn’t hurt to make this post. before i go on i want to remind everyone: we all cope in different ways, we all grieve differently as well so how you’re feeling about everything at the moment is not wrong. you may feel better, you may feel miserable. as jonghyun put it: “rather than saying time is medicine i think time just covers things. i don’t think it heals you, and if you want to heal i think it’s better to seek some other methods. one think i do think i can tell you is that if time passes you will hurt a little less than you do now.” (source) moving on, what i’m going to start this post by saying is: please be kind of blingers. we’re all hurting, we’re all grieving but there’s an added layer with us that i’m sure you can all understand. this obviously goes for all shawols as well but this post is for blingers specifically. (death tw) ■ if a blinger says that they are not ready for the domes or that they think that it is too soon it is not because they do not respect the decision that jinki, kibum, minho and taemin made; it is because they are not ready to see the others standing on stage without jonghyun yet. most that i have spoken to are to terms with the fact that he is gone, but seeing them without him makes it even more real. ■ talk of comebacks without jonghyun … it’s a very touchy subject for blingers. a lot feel that it’s too soon to be discussing the prospect of comebacks and concerts / touring beyond the domes. i agree with this because it’s only been three weeks and the other members haven’t even been given the chance to grieve properly really. it’s true that some blingers may be completely turned off to the idea of shinee promoting without jonghyun in the future and that’s ultimately their business. they’re going to feel how they want to feel, but the majority support any decision that they plan on making in the future. it’s just that everything is too raw right now still and likely will be for a long, long time. ■ this goes along with the above but: blingers who feel like either are not “fake shawols”. a few that i know have been called this and it really …, really hurts because that isn’t the case in the slightest. the love that they have for the other members is very strong but remember that jonghyun was their #person. ■ the phrasing of comments about how the group will “come back stronger” or that jinki, kibum, minho and taemin are “the strongest people to ever exist” often sit the wrong way with blingers, due to phrasing and very unintentional implications. jinki, kibum, minho and taemin are incredibly strong and they deserve to be acknowledged for that strength, but jonghyun was strong as well, and shinee was strong as a group with jonghyun. moving forward, they’ll continue to be strong, not become “stronger” because that strength always existed. ■ as said earlier: everyone grieves at their own pace but a lot of blingers feel as if they have been left in the dark (or dust) already. it’s difficult to explain but it’s a very real feeling across the board. (i understand because i’ve felt it as well.) ■ some blingers feel like they’ve backed into a corner within fandom, that they can’t voice how they feel about the future of shinee because they’re afraid of getting attacked. everyone has their own opinions and no one should be made to feel bad for them (unless they’re offensive). talk it out amongst each other if you’re able. it’s always easier that way. everyone has been sensitive lately and it’s been very easy for misunderstandings to arise in the heat of emotion. ■ casual conversation that implies that the group can easily go on with jonghyun is probably what has hurt blingers the most. comments such as: “the entire group is made up of vocalists so they can cover for him pretty easily” aren’t appreciated because they take on a completely different meaning to what they would have before his death. jonghyun is not replaceable. this isn’t the same as covering for a member when they can’t make it to a schedule. ■ please don’t tell a blinger (or any other shawol) that they’ve been “upset for too long” or that they’re being “annoying” because they’re still grieving. i’ve seen this coming from edgy stans in other fandoms and it’s fucked up. a lot are already anxious that they’re getting in the way of others’ grieving to begin with by talking about how they’re still upset when there’s no timeline for grief, so hearing anyone say that is not appreciated. there are others as well but i’m going to stop there because i figure you get the general gist. be kind to blingers, be kind of each other. none of this is easy and we need to do the best to take care of and be gentle with one another.

honestly. i didn’t think that i’d have to do this but: after i made this post dedicated to blingers yesterday i both received a slew of upset messages and read some add on’s by blogs that had reblogged it where people either said that i shouldn’t have written what i did at all or that i shouldn’t be “separating fandom”. this is all i’m going to say: it’s never been my intention to do that. over the last three weeks i’ve tried my hardest to console all shawols: mvps, blingers, lockets, flamers, taemints, those with more than one bias, those who have never settled on one. each post was made to comfort all but as i stressed in the post made: “this obviously goes for all shawols but this post is for blingers specifically”. i made it obvious why the post was written: because i’ve had multiple blingers reach out to me who feel either cornered, guilty or as if they’ve been left behind. any other post that i make moving forward is going to continue to be for all shawols, but i want just one to be for blingers specifically. i didn’t want to make anyone feel bad. that was never my intention. i was not trying to say that mvps, lockets, flamers, taemints aren’t feeling an immense amount of pain over the loss of jonghyun. all i was trying to do is let blingers know that they’re not alone in how they feel, as we lost our ult, our #person. but, yeah, anyway. that’ll be my last post like that because i don’t want to upset people or receive any hostile messages. honestly, this is why a lot of blingers are afraid of saying how they’ve been feeling. i really can’t handle that right now but despite that i’m happy that there were some people who were able to find comfort in the post.
