Okay, so, after multiple attempts, for some reason that post I was warning you guys about? It just wonāt post. Iāve written it out multiple times and every time, the post doesnāt come up, so I think thatās a sign that itās time to make some changes in my life.Ā
Iāve been feeling for a while that thereās 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 doesnāt need that.
We have our fandoms, sure, but in the end, weāre fans of groups that are all trying to spread the same messages: Love yourself. Love each other. Youāre perfect. Youāre good. Po. Si. Ti. Vi. Ty. Five little syllables that build up one immensely vast word. Iāve decided that Iām not going to perpetuate negativity anymore.Ā
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. Donāt drag people down.Ā
So Iāve decided something.
With the blessing of another blog, @ahgaseloveletters, Iām going to be emulating their blog, not once, but twice. There will be an ARMY one, which Iām making partly because thatās my primary fandom and partly because there isnāt one and Iām 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.Ā
These will be side-blogs, sadly, but I may make them into independent ones if theyāre popular at all. Iām 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 (couldnāt resist), with the same rules as ahgaselovelettersā blog, but relevant to the particular blogs, and Iāll be creating some graphics in the days/ weeks to come.Ā
Iām also in the process of creating a particular project that I hope youāll all enjoy and perhaps participate in, because itās part of a course Iām taking, and that I hope will eventually become my actual business. I canāt give away too much as yet, since itās early days still, but thatās 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 donāt want to post some dumb mistakes as I have in the past. Iām 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 Iāll run it by you to see if I should or not.
Also, to the lovely person who sent me an ask about their story theyāre working on, the answer is absolutely yes, and as soon as I can get the dang browser to stop crashing, Iāll 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, hereās 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 itās you. Thereās a reason for this: anonymous asks are awesome, donāt get me wrong, but thereās no face. Positivity without a face attached is like a meal without salt. Sure, it could be really great, but without salt, thereās just one dynamic missing. Being able to see whoās 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. Iāve 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 likeĀ āthis person likes MY writing? But theyāre so good!ā. Major ego boost. Go boost some egos, my little birdies!
