Okay, so, after multiple attempts, for some reason that post I was warning you guys about? It just won’t post. I’ve written it out multiple times and every time, the post doesn’t come up, so I think that’s a sign that it’s time to make some changes in my life.
I’ve been feeling for a while that there’s just too dang much negativity in the world. Racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, all of these different terms devoted solely to types of hatred, but what about love? Kindness? How many words are there that mean types of kindness? I can only think of that one word. There are offshoots of it - generosity, compassion, sympathy, but none that define different versions.
The Kpop world doesn’t need that.
We have our fandoms, sure, but in the end, we’re fans of groups that are all trying to spread the same messages: Love yourself. Love each other. You’re perfect. You’re good. Po. Si. Ti. Vi. Ty. Five little syllables that build up one immensely vast word. I’ve decided that I’m not going to perpetuate negativity anymore.
You wanna tell people to be ashamed of their kinks or their preferences or their gender identity or whatever? No. Keep your negative opinions to yourself. Don’t drag people down.
So I’ve decided something.
With the blessing of another blog, @ahgaseloveletters, I’m going to be emulating their blog, not once, but twice. There will be an ARMY one, which I’m making partly because that’s my primary fandom and partly because there isn’t one and I’m sick of seeing the negativity that abounds in this fandom without any real attempt to combat it besides additional negativity. There will also be an all-fandom one. That one will basically welcome members of all fandoms to share their appreciation, of their groups, but more importantly, of themselves and each other.
These will be side-blogs, sadly, but I may make them into independent ones if they’re popular at all. I’m setting the blogs up tonight, but they will be very basic to start off with, as I want to format them properly, which will take time. For now, they will be basic bi...logs (couldn’t resist), with the same rules as ahgaseloveletters’ blog, but relevant to the particular blogs, and I’ll be creating some graphics in the days/ weeks to come.
I’m also in the process of creating a particular project that I hope you’ll all enjoy and perhaps participate in, because it’s part of a course I’m taking, and that I hope will eventually become my actual business. I can’t give away too much as yet, since it’s early days still, but that’s the reason for my delay in posting The Interloper. Most of my nights have been taken up with my web design course, so I tend to be a little cross-eyed by the time I come to actually proofread, and I don’t want to post some dumb mistakes as I have in the past. I’m also still dubious about one aspect that I dunno if I wanna change, so if anyone wants their brains picked about it, hit me up and I’ll run it by you to see if I should or not.
Also, to the lovely person who sent me an ask about their story they’re working on, the answer is absolutely yes, and as soon as I can get the dang browser to stop crashing, I’ll answer the ask properly XD
That being said, look out for another post very, very soon with the links to the new side-blogs, and if you take a look and like em, please let me know if you think I should make them fully independent blogs.
PS - If anyone wants an assignment, here’s one for you: go to your fave writing blog, regardless of fandom, kpop or not, and give them feedback, in an ask, about why you like their work. Most importantly, do not do this anonymously. Let them see it’s you. There’s a reason for this: anonymous asks are awesome, don’t get me wrong, but there’s no face. Positivity without a face attached is like a meal without salt. Sure, it could be really great, but without salt, there’s just one dynamic missing. Being able to see who’s sent you a positive response can mean so much because you can go to their blog and learn their personality and see just why you merited that feedback from them. I’ve had some amazingly positive comments and asks, but one that stands out for me is from a year or so back when a fellow blogger said they liked their writing. I went on their blog and I was like ‘this person likes MY writing? But they’re so good!’. Major ego boost. Go boost some egos, my little birdies!
