hedging my bets

LOL I don't know to whom this would be relevant, or who would even see this, but: if anyone who's not on my friends' list has tried to leave me a comment in the past few months, I'm really sorry! I switched my journal settings a few months ago in a fit of paranoia and I completely forgot to switch it back. LOL someone even reminded me of it and I went "omg yes I should change it" and then promptly forgot about it. So for whomever this message is relevant, I'm sorry!! It's switched back now too! 

I don't really understand what the term "memetic isomorphism" means but I like throwing it around in my head anyway. Ex: seeing two squirrels chasing each other, "oic it's like a memetic isomorphism." PSEUDOINTELLECTUALISM FOR LIIIIIFE

lol i don't know when i'm supposed to stop replying to comments! anyway i have so many feelingssss when it comes to jonghyun and jongyu and onew and their weird relationship idek if it's at all translatable or understandable outside of my brain. :(((

i think there's way more tension i their relationship than most people like to admit, like they obviously admire each other and have some pretty significant things in common but they're also wired very differently and i think they see the world in very different ways. jonghyun's always sure the universe is going to make sure everything turns out great for him, and onew is a little more repressed and careful with his thoughts/feelings/actions/everything pm.

i think they're both similar in that they're both timid and insecure at times and in the beginning it seemed like they got a lot of strength from each other, especially onew from jonghyun. now they're just distant and idk exactly why that is but it interests me a lot. they have a really weird push-pull dynamic going on and i guess that's what keeps me interested even when there's nothing super obvious going on in terms of fanservice and ~shipping moments~ :(

actually maybe i should have warned you that i basically use anything as an excuse to talk about jonghyun and jongyu, i'm pretty sure it's gone from cute and slightly entertaining to annoying and ridiculous if you ask my friends.

omg this is always my problem, I NEVER know when to stop replying so I awkwardly just keep going until the other person stops. SORRY I HAVE NO SOCIAL SKILLS

ughh seriously, bring it on, I literally want to talk about kpop all the time and no one can ever indulge me enough. I will legit connect Jonghyun to anything. ;~;

I'm not super-invested in Onew so I haven't thought of jongyu all ~that deeply. I agree that they're kinda fundamentally different people. wrt Jonghyun being sure that things will work out, I think after the SSK thing he's been burned though. It's not a huge change but I think he's a *little* more reserved and careful not to show negative feelings.

I think Onew feels overwhelmed with Jonghyun at times because he's quite high energy and moody. Tell me more about the tension and push-pull!
