So, i started rereading Harry Potter today, so i got all nostalgic about the Run Away era and saw the TXT HALLOWEEN Dance video (Taehyun as Ravenclaw makes so much sense !)
And it lowkey reminded me why i liked txt SO MUCH when i fist met them.
I've always felt a little out of place at the kpop scene, love the idols, love the idols, love the music. But if I start sharing my other interests with fellow kpop fans, they'd start seeing me as a show off for some reason? But i DID make great friends in my pre2019 kpop era. But the literature community was a little mean? Ill talk abt all the books ive read, and the moment ill mention liking kpop, Im just a fake, immature, simp with no idea of literature and only there for handsome characters?
The first time I saw TXT, In 9 3/4 era, i was...really surprised. I'd seen kpop idols cosplay as Hogwarts students before, but I hadnt listened to any other kpop song completely based off that before. Not only that, The fandom felt like clones of myself. Everyone fussing about the lore, nerds, nerds that likes both kpop and literature. im sure other fandom has them too, but i felt like TXT had them at the highest concentration.
Then I didnt have time to catch my btreath. Their concept based on PETER PAN, THE LITTLE PRINCE, all these amazing books helped me grow both as a simp (?) and someone who likes to read and analyze literature.
When they aren't singing based on great writings, theyre whipping up amazing stories themselves. The Chaos Chapter, Minisode 1, the list goes on.
And even if they don't write, compose their songs themselves, When they sing it, perform it, they convey it with such intensity, they makes the song theirs, they make the story theirs.
And though i feel selfish, maybe thats why txt comebacks as late hadnt been my favourite ? love them but thoughthe lore tries to appear as though " WE WENT THROUGH THESE EMO PHASES TOGETEHR , NOW I LOVE YOU AND THIS IS OUR LOVE STORY" I feel as though I had an Emo fiend who I shared my sorrow with, but suddenly they fell in love and changed, now they only talk about love and i cant talk about my sadness anymore to them. WHICH IS EXTREMELY SELFISH I HATE MYSELF BUT
TXT nver had one particular sound,they switched . Run Away was different from crown, LOSERLOVER was different frm BLUE HOUR. Just bcs the current sound is not my favourite doesnt change that their sound pulled me out of hell and helped me settle down in the world times after times. Infact it would be more concerning if i liked every single genre of music there is.
Ill wait for my emo boiz, and even if they don't come back, maybe I'll fall in love too, maybe some other way, this story of them could be mine too.
It always has been after all.
