a cruel month

LOL I have 498 SHINee fics bookmarked. What on earth! It really only takes one thing for me to save a link. I have to organize them somehow. At the moment when I try to look for a fic I just type in likely keywords and hope my brain is wired the same way as when I first bookmarked it.

My finals are done but I still have papers to write. Dear lord will these trials and tribulations never end??

I swear I'm gonna kill something if they put Jonghyun in another vest. He looks so stupid in these Japan photoshoots. Stupid with occasional moments of COMPLETE FRESH-FACED PERFECTION. Ugh they're all being sooo idiotically cute in these shoots. So many piles!! Piles of boys!! Piles of cute!!

Do they get to dress themselves on Immortal Song 2? Does that mean that glittery tank top Jonghyun wore for his showcase was his? Oh god he is seriously the gift that keeps on giving.

LOL giant 50+ chapter vampire AU series and I'm just going through each part Ctrl+F'ing "jonghyun." I don't have time for vampires okay, I just want to read about him being snarky and/or crying or whatever he's doing in every ten chapters of this thing. From what I can tell though, Jonghyun is too fucking good for anyone else in this story. This is really not that biased of an opinion! Usually he is an intolerable asshole in these sorts of things but here he is literally the best of them all. Onew is such a dick to him in this lol >>:(((( Also my god what is it about Jessica, people will drag her into their fics ALL THE TIME. It's alright here but usually it's terrible and stupid.

I don't think I'm particularly pretentious. I'm sentimental though.

You guys I love Jongho sooo muuuuchhhhh I will legit read anything for them. It's so bad.

I have been trying to quash an immutable tide of panic for the past like three weeks. I am letting go of my GPA; it's already fucked. I just have to pass these classes. I JUST HAVE TO PASS THESE CLASSES. ;~~~; Ugh why am I so fucking stupid. My life is cratered with failures upon failures and I seriously can't do anything right. Oh well. I JUST HAVE TO PASS.

[giant sad bastard paragraph excised]

Ugh lol goddamn my lj has legit been split 50/50 between SHINee spazzing and sad bastard feelings. The two sided coin of my life these days. I mean, I say all this stuff on my own behalf and for my own benefit. But what does it really do? What does anything do. I wish I had more to talk about. I make my life such shit for myself.

I really do feel like there's a lot of love to be had in the world, and love is a choice that people must continually make.* I think that's why I'm so mystified by all the hate and negative energy in fandom and why I react so strongly against it. It just seems like such a contrived, deliberate choice to be hateful and condescending. Maybe also because fandom is supposed to be pure escapism for me. Real life is already terrible, and unavoidably so. Why do people have to invent more reasons to be angry and shitty when they don't have to beeeee. But lol at the same time I know that I choose to become butthurt and offended and worked up over shitty comments instead of ignoring them and getting on with my life. idk why it's so much easier to legitimate negative thoughts/feelings when love is the more difficult choice, and hate is harder to live with.
*placeholder reference: I know it's from [livejournal.com profile] ranalore but I don't remember the post. ahhh my creeper anime days were so profitable
edit @ 6:44 am this post! I think it can apply in the general. like specific applications of love can't be chosen (you can't force yourself to like shit you just don't like) but I think love in the abstract is a choice, to say whether you'll be receptive and open or not, to pursue and indulge and enjoy or to dismiss or be ashamed or be in name only. insert scrubs quote on couples who make it because they fight for their love in the face of the same problems as the couples who don't make it. feelings are involuntary, actions are not, etc. why the fuck did I make this sound so dry. and fuck grammar omg

i think for a lot of people the negative aspects of anything are more appealing because it's like getting a free ticket to not question yourself or make harder choices than just being hateful and bothersome. it's harder to be nice because you have to come from a place that's sincere and content, and it seems like for most people that's just super hard. it's really that whole thing with actually being able to stand and like yourself so you don't go taking your shit out on everyone else. and then ofc kpop is often a very superficial creature, it's bound to attract trolls.

also you should make a rec list! making those is ridiculously addictive and such a good way to procrastinate. oh wait don't make one i changed my mind FINISH YOUR PAPERS. D:

i think i can accept the vests i just want him to stop wearing that ridiculous hat he's been taking on a world tour, it's so atrosh i hate it!!

i had something else to say but i forgot it what even

Oh that's true; I was also thinking about it in terms of the laziness of pessimism and how being happy/nice is more of a risk than being hateful. I don't generally project my shit that way but that's another good point. I get the feeling that a lot of people in kpop, at least in international fandom, are lonely insecure teenagers. kpop's infestation with trolls/antis, ah god I don't even know.

I started one and then I felt weird because I've only commented on like four out of the 500 lololol.

I HATE THOSE VESTS SO MUCH THEY MAKE HIM LOOK SF BOXY UGH HATE. LOL I can't with that stupid hat!! Have you seen the pics on facebook?? HE WAS WEARING IT DURING REHEARSAL AND HE TILTED IT SO HE WAS BASICALLY WEARING IT *ON* HIS FACE OMG U IDIOT WHYYYYY

aw godddd I love him too much. I really really love that he got the chance to do Immortal Song, and that he had fun at their first concerts, and that he got to rest for a while. I think he's not feeling as stifled anymore. Or I hope so. "Singing again," omg come here to me, Jonghyun, come here to me. ;~;

i just need to leave these here because i'm late for smth but JONGHYUN ugh i want to be his friend and have him ask people to applaud me

GOD I'M LIKE CRYING HE'S SF SWEET NNNNNNNNNNNNNN ;~~; NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I really do want to hang out with him sf badly, like really really.

He's always fucking around with his earphones. I like when he asks the staff to adjust the mic levels or whatever, he's professional and knows what he's doing and what he wants.

I hope he sounds okay in this episode. I don't think his voice/style is particularly suited for ~rawk songs but to be fair the only one I've really heard was that ridic Run in the Sky mess, and that song is just not good to begin with.
