i read why you aren't writing for shinee/kibum rn, but why do you still write for jonghyun?? it feels wrong to read about him when it feels like he should be put to rest (in a literal sense) so is there a reason you still do works and requests for him?? ive noticed some other people also decide to write for him still, so this may help me understand that as well
Sorry but this will kinda long to explain 😅 just saying before I start that in no way shape or form is this meant to come off as rude btw🩷
So, to start off; blingers are still extremely active, just like the rest of shawols. Taemints, lockets, MVPs, and flamers, can read fanfics of their bias, they can easily find hc’s for Taemin, Minho, Kibum, or Jinki, but blingers can’t. It’s completely unfair to say that just because he is no longer with us, we shouldn’t still enjoy his content, his music, fanfics, and fanart. Also, I’ve been a shawol for almost two years now and as a taemint/blinger, I want to see people still loving Jonghyun and being able to think of him happily. Talking about him isn’t sad, remembering him isn’t bad, he’s a lot more than just that moment, so writing for him is normal.
Also, I did let people vote to see if anyone would be made uncomfortable by seeing smut written of him and the majority said no, not only did the majority say no but I even got messages from older shawols saying that they’d love to see it. I haven’t posted for SHINee in a while because of my writers block, but I still get asks for him. People want to see it and I like doing it.
And finally, he’s still apart of SHINee. The members themselves constantly acknowledge that SHINee is five, they constantly mention him, from tagging him in their concert posts, talking about him, making jokes about him, and he’s always included in every SHINee event. So, for me and others who also write for him and who are still active blingers it’s just including all the members because at the end of the day, SHINee will be five no matter how long it’s been. Saying that he should be put to rest kinda sounds like you mean that people should just move on and forget him, but it would be a shame to let all of his amazing music fade into nothing. Micheal Jackson still has active fans who listen to his music, draw him, write fan fictions about him, edit him, and make the most downbad tweets about him I’ve ever seen. The fans will be there no matter where the artist goes, and Jonghyun is the same way. No matter if he’s here or not, we as fans will always be here enjoying his music and loving him. Remembering him and enjoying his music isn’t disturbing the rest and the peace he’s getting, it’s just appreciating and love him.
after seeing 🦨 anon’s message about a possibly autistic chenle, i just remembered that a lot of these traits are in taemin
that or he’s a sociopath because that boy has roasted to many people with a smile on his face to be neurotypical <3
thoughts, PMS? (love the acronym btw)
Meh I mean we aren't medical professionals and we wouldn't even want to speculate on someone's mental health. It's such a broad spectrum. The best advice any of use could give would range from musicals, kpop, the dewey decimal system (cookbooks are 641’s), 911 dispatching, and some light veterinary technician things (and only for small animals unless you are wondering about the anatomy of a horses' hoof, I aced that shit).
As far as him roasting people with a smile on his face, look who raised him. I think that ability is a kpop essential.
Glad you like the acronym lol. We found it amusing.
It's been interesting to watch the reactions to Taemin and Onew leaving SM for solo work, the SHINee twitter becoming a MinKey fan account (lol) and all of Taemin's new media. I can see how everyone seems to have different boundaries as to what they'll allow Taemin to have (apparently hell will break loose if he gets his own light stick... tho I literally already have a Taemin light stick like why are people on crack). Key fans are closing up shop like clockwork too even though he's at the peak of his career and doing amazingly, all because of how they think fans will behave going forward.
It's not chaotic or horrific like other fan spaces (thank god) but I think that it's impossible for any fandom to get through this kind of change unscathed. What I hope people realize is that Taemin is getting what every member deserves, but he's only getting because he left SM for solo. I hope SM will see the error of their ways and get Key and Minho everything they deserve, too. It's going to be bizarre, however, seeing the gulf between Taemin's setup and SM's, and the SHINee account only posting about MinKey. I'm not even starting the Onew conversation because it's a can of worms (but like, the man will be back when he's ready and not before and that's enough for me).
Taemin boil us like we're frogs! I know a shawol that went to a fanmeeting and met Shinee other 2 or 3 times in radio and tv shows. According to her, Onew is absolutely stunning in person, much more than she could've ever imagined XD ~30+ anon
Omg such a lucky shawol!!! I don't know if I'll ever make it to a fanmeet especially with this damn pandemic now, but I believe her! Especially when he's so smiley and nice and a little shy, uuuwuuuuu😵
the closest I've ever got in person to any of my idols was being close to the front of the stage at a BTS concert, and witnessing Jungkook absolutely go crazy during "Idol" and yeet his bottle of water at the crowd. I wasn't close enough to get wet, but I got wet anyway 👀
