*before anyone says I’m discrediting Heeseung’s work these past 5/6 years, I’ve been an engene since I-land, I have a tattoo dedicated to them and have supported them through every hate train, this is just my personal opinion*
maybe it’s just me but I don’t really understand how people are still boycotting Enhypen after Heeseung/Evan left 3 months ago…I understand that people would love for the group to still be 7, but as fans we should be accepting the new chapter of enhypen as 6 and Heeseung as a solo artist. To speculate about the departure creates the narrative of distrust and only continues to spread an echo chamber of hate towards the boys.
I too wish things were different, but I as a fan of Enhypen I choose to support their new path. Do I like Belift? No, the company is ass and fans do have the power to change things (I literally did an academic paper on it) though in this context I think we should accept that Enhypen as 6 is their new future while Heeseung chose a solo path. No need to create drama or animosity towards each other.
Support Enhypen and Evan. So I guess if any boycotters or anti-boycotters read this, I’d like to know your thoughts/opinions not in an argument way, I want to understand your position and what made you think a certain way.
big warning before you read: this is just an opinion. I have been reading Reddit and other sites like that a lot, and some people have been asking about unspoken rules in Finland. I moved from the extreme countryside to Helsinki and have noticed these firsthand and since you don't really meet people on the streets back where I grew up, I will focus on Helsinki manners. Again, this is just my opinion and not absolute laws set in stone!
No perfume. Many public places like libraries will have signs that say not to come in if you are wearing scents. You might think your scent doesn't smell THAT bad, but it does. Shower and come back!
If you have a big backpack or luggage, be extra mindful. In trains, there are spots where your luggage will fit without needing to put it in the middle where people walk or, god forbid, THE SEATS NEXT TO YOU?
If you know that you cannot focus on your phone and the traffic in front of you, do not look at your phone while walking. You are expected to make way at all times.
More on making way- both me and you need to make way. If I am approaching on a narrow street walking on the side, you cannot walk in the middle (the other person made way already, right? Wrong.) You must also move to the side as much as possible.
Finnish personal space is big. Whatever European personal space is, you need to double that by two (or three). If a Finn can extend their arms and touch you, you are in their space. If a Finn is for example waiting for the light to turn green and you come to wait at the same crossing, you should stand on the other side of the zebra crossing waiting space (???).
Have headphones on, do not listen to audio without headphones in public. (This one divides people a lot these days. Apparently, the young generation is more OK with this)
If you have to take a call in public transit/inside a public space, talk quietly. This doesn't apply outside, however, yelling is still frowned upon.
General quietness is appreciated. Talk quiet, shut doors quiet, etc.
BIG ONE IN THE CAPITAL REGION!!! Do anything on the right side. On escalators, stand on the right. The left side is for people running down to be somewhere in time. Walk down the stairs on the right. Walk on the right in the hallways and streets. If you and your friend are walking together somewhere narrow, make a queue if someone is coming. Queuing is expected at all times on escalators. You must not stand on The Left Side of The Escalator.
When a public transport vehicle stops at your stop, you will see people waiting for people to come out on the immediate sides of the door. Do not try to get on first. Do not wait for people to get off right in front of the door! Makes the flow of people faster.
Sit on the window seat if a double seat is available. (Idk what kind of people wouldn't) DO NOT SIT NEXT TO SOMEONE IF SPACE IS AVAILABLE, people will move away from you and then it's awkward for both of you.
TLDR: Be quiet and mindful, walk on the right at all times. Be yourself! Have fun!
Fanfiction is a gift for yourself that you share with others.
They're stories that you wanted to read, plots you wanted to explore, character developments that you created so that you could see your favorite characters grow.
We share our stories because we love them.
So, if you're not in love with your story, don't stress about getting it done.
Take time apart, let it sit, reread what you put down and see if it speaks to you with something new.
The story is yours - made for you, by you. You're the one who should enjoy it the most!
[Update] Presented to the city council and they liked my idea! A move to change the city flag is now in the annual budget and the council is taking submissions from the public for their opinion!
