I get emotionally attached to lyrics, like not necessarily a whole song just that one line that hits you in the gut and pulls out every emotion you can possibly feel and every time you hear that one line its like the whole world is okay for a few seconds.

the thing is, that idols dating each other within the same group isn't as uncommon as it sounds. it's more of a don't ask-don't tell business and it's easier for them to cover up since well fans don't think that they would actually date each other. and in SM, it's quite...a number? and since its within the the group SM can easily cover it. not naming any names but theres a few gay couples and gay celebrities there. maybe not official in the press, but known within the industry/company.

I know it isn’t as uncommon but since it is such that it is a don’t ask-don’t tell business, I prefer not to assume. heck, sometimes I do feel that there is something between these idols but I prefer not to have the thought that tells me that they are genuinely something but more of having the thought that they could possibly be something. the possibilities are there, but really it is up to you guys what you feel it is like between these idols- It’s just how I see it in my head or well- how I want to see it in my head.

I pretty much agree with your opinion about why some people making 2min as their notp, it's pretty accurate, at least same as mine.I myself don't have any notp, because all of members interactions are cute. It's just I love 2min much more because reasons :-)

glad you agree with some of them nwn It’s also the same for me! owo

twomined

I want to talk about 2min

whatever you want to talk about

whether it’s about me as a 2min shipper or about you or just 2min themselves

whether it’s for an opinion or view or the way I look at them

the changes throughout the years, the fans, the fanfiction & such

I like to know what you’re curious about in me, the fandom or the pairing

whether you want to tell me about your frustrations as a 2min fan

I’ve been unapproachable since the start- even during twomints and I feel like I have to break that barrier to interact with some of you

that would actually be a nice change

#leave your messages in my ask box and I'll answer them when I'm free #nwn

I'm losing my 2min feel lately I have shipped them for 3years now and there were a lot of cute & lovely interaction. but lately it almost stopped. I think the reason is Taemin wanting to appear man, not the shy,weak uke. and because 2min is the largest ship with any of SHINee member he stopped reacting to Min and it saddens me cuz he react well to Jong Onew and Kai what do you think about it? cuz you know Minho is really extra caring when it come to Tae, and even he look like he abstain himself

I’ve shipped them for 4 and a half years and I can say that I do agree to this somewhat. I had a phase where I went through the same thing - losing the 2min feel, and it was for the exact same reason. I’m pretty sure many felt the same way although it’s hard to admit. mid 2012 and you could already clearly see the changes in taemin- the growth in charisma, the development of his body and how built it has grown over the years, how his performances has gotten even more daring sexual and arousing- and there was even a change between their interactions- yes, there were and they were very clear.

I was a taemin fan when these things happened and believe me, I didn’t have a nice feeling about it. I wasn’t happy about it at first- I was all ‘what are you trying to do, taemin?’ and ‘is this necessary?’ and I was just unhappy all over. but then I realised that when the change became even more clearer, the love I had for taemin grew even more. I didn’t realise it but even when he does these things, I can’t bring myself to dislike what he does because he is being him (and I love him) and if he wants to prove to us that he is this, my heart just instantly says ‘yes, you are. you try your best to show yourself as this and I will support you because I love you and I believe in you’ and till now I just love everything about him and everything about him is lovely and I can’t have him anyway.

because when I think about it, taemin is trying to be what he wants to be. he wants to show a manlier side of him; he wants to prove to us how mature he has become. that he has improved a lot and that he is no longer the kid you see in ‘replay’ but as a grown man as he is today. and I accepted that because taemin is taemin. and I love taemin.

It affected the way I look at 2min but after months of thinking and observing and just more thinking- i told myself that it didn’t really matter. there were less interactions and yes, even more interactions with other members but I still see it. I still see the spark I have from 2min and I do not need another version of ‘internet war’ for 2min to prove myself that the ship is still sailing or a big fanservice on stage to tell me the ship is not dying- because from the way minho cares for taemin so much- and taemin’s tiny smiles (which are- let me add: lovely as hell) you can tell they still care for each other very deeply. It doesn’t have to be on stage. you can tell that taemin gets uncomfortable sometimes on stage whenever minho tries to be affectionate and he may have his own reason but I don’t see much changing other than that. sometimes it’s the tiny things I see they do that make me smile and give me a reason to ship them- from that, I don’t see any other way to prove myself no longer. It’s the trivial things (jfc I love that fic)

taemin has gotten a lot more daring and dominent and sexual but then again, it’s also the way you see it. I love submissive taemin but dominant taemin is another kind of beautiful. dominant doesn’t mean he is top either, really. and just because he looks dominant doesn’t mean he doesn’t prefer to be submissive :^) lmfoa can’t help to use that face It’s really just the way you look at it. just because he has changed in a few aspects doesn’t mean he has to be that shy, adorable and fluffy baby (he still is though hahaha- he is my baby <3) in yaoi mangas to be an uke because I thought the same too. I kind of told myself that. because I love bottom!taemin a lot, believe me. like the whole message you sent me relates me to me very much. but I’ve passed on that stage in a way. because to me now, the way 2min is and how taemin has grown to become; shinee in general actually; I can’t help but to love everything about them \(nwn)/ don’t ever feel too down about it because I did. really bad. haha. just look at these things at a different angle and believe me, it helps.

#i'll answer more after I finish studying or after school tomorrow #sorry guys ;3;#I'll answer asap when I can

sorry if this is a "sensitive" question--and this may also not suit everyone---but do you think 2min may be real romantically wise? like if you see past how shinee all are close, first of all, like a family--do you think there may be something? just wondering because 2min makes me feel weird things–the way they interact it's like it's not something for us to see but themselves. ^_^ it's okay if you don't wanna answer this! oh, and have a nice day~ i love your blog ♡

how I look at shinee is kind of equal (do you get me?) like when it comes to closeness between them I have no say whatsoever because from the outside, shinee is one family who love each other very much and from the inside also, as much as I can tell that their years of living and performing together have brought them very much close to one another, there isn’t much to say how they look at each other relationship wise (because I wouldn’t know and it’’s between them)

but if you want my opinion, romantically, possible. real? I can’t say real or not but I do feel like they may be romantically attracted to each other but at the same time not also. I don’t usually make assumptions or well another way to say it is I can’t. But for every shipper, I’m pretty sure the thing we want the most is for them to be together- and that’s what I want too. I can think by myself of how great it would be to see them together, happy and in love- but they may just be a part of my head because these are imaginations; confessions, kisses, ‘i love yous’- It’s frustrating but I tell myself every day - “don’t assume”. I’d love to see them together. I want them to be together. 2min’s relationship with each other is adorable and I love it- but I can’t see past what they see in each other and if I could, then maybe I could answer the question accurately ^^

It’s also hard to say because I really can’t tell their sexuality as well - two guys loving each other (and idols, I must add) what are the possibilities? I’m pretty sure these kind of questions have appeared in your thoughts once in a while-

and for every interaction between taemin and minho, as a 2min shipper, believe me- you can tell that they’re the kind who would joke around a lot, insult each other here and there but when it comes to them caring for each other, it’s really genuine and lovely- It’s usually filled with love and you can tell from the gentle caresses and worried glances whenever anything happens between any of them. whether it’s brotherly or romantically- it’s definitely love that I can see they have for each other 6w6 feel free to ask if I didn’t answer your question ^^ I get out of topic sometimes, haha

ahh, as a jongkey shipper makes me sad that you gave up that on them that easily ;; but anyways, maybe you are meant to be more of a 2min shipper and not a jongkey one? ^^ . I always say that you don't choose your otp, they choose you haha ! I also love and ship 2min with all my heart too <3 ~ anyways, i love your blog, always keep that the good work!! have a nice day !

it wasn’t exactly easy for me letting them go either hahaha, believe me ;w; it was actually one of the hardest phase I had in this fandom- letting go of them. I really really loved jongkey last time- as much as I like 2min now. and I agree, maybe I am more suited to be a 2min fan ^^ It’s not that I feel that jongkey isn’t ‘real’, it’s more of the ‘maybe this isn’t the pairing for me’ because believe me, jongkey has a lot of interactions. way more than most of the pairings in shinee. and I have to admit it myself, for a romantic relationship, they have the most potential amongst all the shinee pairings? that’s how I see it-

and thank you <333 you have a nice day too! nwn

I've noticed that 2min is high on a lot of ppl's notp list, especially if the person may ship Taemin or Minho with another person in shinee (for ex. Jongtae or Ohno, etc.) idk if I'm reaching but I think 9/10 2min will be the notp in that instance. Imo, I think it because 2min relationship is apparent special and questionably "deeper." Why do u think 2min is high on so many notp lists or do u disagree?

got to agree- 2min is a notp to so many fans to the point that I don’t really react that much whenever I see someone hate on them in our tags. so like I give the, “k.” kind of reaction, haha.

there are a handful or reasons why they are a notp to many. one of them is because of it’s popularity. with popularity comes hate. you see these things happen everywhere, whether it’s for a popular item, person, opinion. there will bound to be hate. 2min and jongkey are very popular ships in the k-pop world and there will always be a group of people have an apparent dislike for pairings with this popularity. especially amongst those who take 2min as their notp: they don’t see a reason why it’s such a great pairing. why is it so popular? are these fans blind? the dislike grows from there.

another reason is because of how the fandom sees and generalizes us. quality of pairing = behaviour of fans. idek, from the way many people complain about us, that is how I see it lol. we do something wrong and the the pairing gets the effect. It isn’t just the pairings but also some other groups. like how a handful of people dislike exo because of their fans? It’s like that. the image they gave us is the ‘’immature, annoying onew chicken crazed delulus” and it reflects the pairing as it shows what kind of fans that pairing has. which isn’t 98% true ofc. jfc we have passed that stage ages ago lmoa idek why they even still think that,

going on again on the fans = pairing thing, we also get hate for the fanfiction we write which are considered ‘cliche’, ‘delusional’ (idk what fanfic isn’t delusional) and ‘out of personality’. which they describe as ‘cliche highschool starring minho the no emotion bully and taemin the shy nerd kid who eventually falls in love with the bully and shit like that feat onchiken and jongkey’ ok first of all they’re really entertaining to read. the thing is that there is no reason to hate us for writing something like that. let them dream. let us dream, hey. like sometimes it’s unnecessary? telling them what to write and what not to write. let them write whatever they want ok you’re really just building a box around them like doing this ain’t cool cause whenever they attempt to write their story your harsh words would echo in their heads and they would be re-writing the same paragraph over and over again wondering whether ‘is this how it should be’ and ‘is this right? am I dong it right’. not cool-

second of all, jfc have they ever seen the 2min tag in aff? it isn’t 99.999999% like that for us what are they even saying our writers and fics are beautiful ok hush hush u don’t know what you’re missing in life- ok so yes, hate also comes from that

and yes, as you mentioned- 2min having a special and deeper relationship. to 2min fans, we see it- we just do. romantically, or brotherly or whatever- yes- we see something and sometimes it irritates others because they just don’t see it. relating to the first reason: popular -> wth are they so popular?? -> I don’t see anything special -> dislike. It’s because with a popular pairing, you will see the shippers more frequently than others- we spazz a lot and say a lot whenever an interaction happens and they usually get annoyed because we ‘over-react’ though really i’m pretty sure most of them do the same thing for their otp? the difference is that you won’t see them doing that as frequent as 2min shippers because we have a slightly larger volume.

but then again this is just based on what I think and see over the years. you don’t have to agree 100% to it but I’m pretty sure some of you can relate to maybe 10% of it. there may also be even more reasons out there for example maybe not being able to see 2min in a romantic relationship? that’s another reason. not all fans who have 2min as notps are bad and not all of them are good either. I mean humans in general are like that too. I hope I answered your question 6w6

Who is ur notp, and is there any particular reason why?

I wouldn’t exactly call it’s a notp, maybe the pairing I like the least? then it would probably be onew/taemin. I guess it’s because the pairing doesn’t fit to me too well. friendship wise, I think they are really, really adorable. like, so adorable. you can tell that taemin and onew love each other very much. romantically, the potential is there but I’m not so into that so maybe it’s because I look at them as a pairing that is more brotherly that’s why it never really fits for me to see them in a romantic relationship.

thought I did have some past notps. one of them were minho/key and jonghyun/taemin. I thought they were really weird pairings at first but they kind of grew on me after a while and they’re cute so I can’t deny that

Have to start off by saying I love ur blog and I adore 2min, I mean it borderline shameful/obsessive I need help in short lol. So when was the first time u took an interest in 2min, or made u think they were "different" from other pairing? :)

omg thank you so much, anon. I really appreciate it like i rlly rlly do ;; omg don’t worry about it because we’re on the same boat (get it?? ship??? ey- omg slap me) if you really get to know me, I’m actually no different from an obsessive 2min shipper and yes it’s shameful and I sometimes don’t even want to admit it. but then again I can’t deny it. but overall, I don’t exactly show it? hahaha, because sometimes it gets pretty embarrassing and I still have an image to kind of keep clean when I’m around mutuals online. ugh, the things 2min do to me

I actually started out as a jongkey shipper mid september 2010 and only got into 2min about a month later. since then my two main otps were jongkey and 2min. I was 12 so I can’t say I was mature back then. actually, I wasn’t mature at all. I started off really obsessive over my otps and really delusional? well, I’m still delusional but there is a huge difference between a delusional 12-year old and a delusional 17-year old.

I actually only started shipping them because of the fanfiction I read (weird enough- I know). at that time, jongkey and 2min were a pretty big thing in aff (or in the fandom in general) and I couldn’t keep my eyes of their stories and well- it started off there. It became a once a week thing to a few times a week to daily. reading their fanfiction. amazing. It wasn’t even because of interactions or whatsoever (yet) because I just got into the fandom and the first impression I had on them (shipping them I mean) were in their fics. note: I was 12.

It was when I really got myself stuck in the fandom when I really started genuinely loving 2min as a pairing. I wasn’t particularly a big fan of jongkey after the shin se kyung thing happened- frustration built up in me during their dating period and the spark I had for jongkey kind of disappeared slowly. I was a pretty delusional jongkey fan at that time. always believing hard on the fact that he won’t choose anyone else but key. no one. and when she came in I guess the delusions I had all shattered? 2min wasn’t so big for me at that time and it was all jongkey for me so you could kind of imagine how bad it went for me until I stopped being a jongkey shipper. I was 13 then. still a young little shit.

I started paying 100% on 2min after that. the smallest interactions, the fanservice, the way they look at each other- and it just pulled me. they were given the portrayal of an innocent, pure couple and that was definitely a 360 to jongkey’s. and I loved it. I could tell they were different- I couldn’t really explain it. taemin and minho are so different yet so similar- I can’t even put a finger on it- 2min is 2min and it’s nice. I could tell it was brotherly but sometimes I just see something else in it. I don’t want to just make assumptions but that’s the way I look at it. the way taemin sometimes look at minho with adoration and the way minho cares for taemin’s whole being so much.

I can’t say that the members don’t do the same but it’s just that something that stood out in 2min and ever since I saw it- I was already addicted.

so long omg

to be honest the first thing that popped in my mind is how real 2min are? not as in "oh my god my ship is so real" but just how genuine their relationship is. it's not out there for everyone to see when you don't know them, but it's definitely present once you get to know shinee. imo it's not like there's a crazy lot of interaction going on that generally pleases fans. it's litttle things (which can be frustrating) and sometimes it's big things, when they can't contain themselves i guess (1/2)

continue: “(2/2) but my point is, their relationship is just so damn genuine. it's just the way they interact to small moments they share and somehow also the way the same to keep it a little hushed but still can't keep it to themselves. i don't know how to describe this and i think i'm trailing off lol. so that was pretty much my take on some 2min things? i was wondering if you feel the same way or smth yaknow? just wanted to share my view on this too! ^^ you're free to post this if you want to”

don’t worry, I get the message you are trying to send 6w6 I do see it that way too. yes, I can definitely see how genuine 2min’s relationship is- especially from the trivial things like the hand brushing, body touching, thigh caressing..they’re so lovely. and I will got to agree, I wouldn’t say that 2min has that many interactions compared to the other pairings. It can’t be denied either but it doesn’t really matter. but from the hushed moments under the shadows they have- like the tiny smiles and looks they send each other, it gives off that nice feeling- and it just shows that it isn’t always about the fanservice. fanservice is entertaining and they’re adorable but it’s the smallest things that shows the true relationship they have and that is way more precious than any fanservice they can ever do<3 and that’s why 2min stands out more from the other pairings. and that’s why I chose that pairing over the other pairings. It isn’t always about the amount of interactions they have. It’s really just how genuine their relationship is as a whole uwu

Do you find its hard to be friended with someone who ship your notp?

in general, I find it hard to make friends with other people, hahaha

but if you’re speaking on that point of view, I can’t say it’s hard- for example, the mutuals I have on twitter (I count mutual as friends hahaha) well, I never really touch on the otp/pairing topic (I try not too) but maybe sometimes when I cannot hold it in- I just do? there are a person or two who I follow who like 2min and a few others that I talk about 2min with in twitter but then again I try not to go too far into the subject because there are other friends who ship my notp who can see our conversations and I don’t intend to make it uncomfortable for them to read. I can go as far as sounding really delulu at some point so I really try to hold that in haha.

A lot of people on my tl have a big no-no for 2min and I guess I don’t mind too much. most of them (or almost all of them) are really mature people so I guess you can say I can befriend them because they are really great people regardless of the pairings they do not like or ship. I wouldn’t befriend those who make very harsh, rude comments about an otp I like or any pairing in general (it shows they’re immaturity and those are the people we must stay away from 24/7) 6w6* as for my notp, I can’t say I like it when I see my notp in my tl but I can’t say I hate it either?

because usually when I see shinee, I see a group of boys who are very close to each other and love each other infinitely and I have no say whatsoever to the closeness in shinee. whenever any of the members interact with each other, I do get a warm feeling in my chest though the only difference with my otp is that whenever they interact I get this stabbing, exploding feeling in my heart and I can feel myself floating my way to heaven (yes that feeling is amazing) I love shinee’s interaction in general hahaha but maybe my notp would give me a slight ‘jealous’ feeling like ‘damn I’d like to see that happening between 2min too’ haha but no hate feeling whatsoever.

the only time a friendship may go wrong is when they start pushing your notp in your face? as in, whenever some interaction happens to their otp, they start comparing the ‘real-ness’ of my otp and theirs? (which is well- unnecessary) that’s when it does get hard. I don’t have friends who do that but I see a lot of this happening and it’s well……….no. these people….haha….no…

so to sum it up, it isn’t too hard to befriend someone who ships my notp but if they are immature about me liking a specific pairing then I don’t think I can see any friendship blooming between us. though I can say that I am forced to put a limit on myself to how far I talk about my otp because when you’re around friends who ship your notp, they see a pairing differently and can see you as a delulu uwu;;;; sorry this is long omg

#oh my god i made it so long im so sorry
