While I am a fan of Blohyuk, I am disturbed by and a little ashamed of the fans who are talking about how they the ship the pairing on the Map the Soul BBS. I mean, Tablo reads and responds to at least some of the comments on the world board, and I can't imagine he'd pleased to see people saying that he and Eunhyuk are "their OTP."
idk. I mean, you're free to like what you like, but RPS is pretendy funtiems for me, like I said. Seeing it so blatantly displayed in a forum where one of the people involved in your ship can see it as well just kind of bugs me, you know? Hypocritical, maybe, but it made me go "D:" nonetheless.
Ugh, yeah, that's creepy stuff. :/ (This is the only monkey icon I've got, heh.)
Honestly, I write a whole lot of suju fic/whatever, but it's all kept privately, faaar away from where anyone but me and my writing partner can see... that's just politeness, so far as I'm concerned. (I don'tm ind if other people are posting theirs more publicly or something, of course, just you know... having some measure of caution is a good idea, yeah?)
really, no. like, it's just TACT. you wouldn't tell your friend that you'd rather see them with someone else then their boy/girlfriend, would you?
that's what scares me in fandom sometimes, that some fans are SO convinced that their otps exists that they'll ship them ANYWHERE. it's kinda making my skin crawl. i kinda hope tablo NEVER finds livejournal. D:
and i don't have an icon that appropriately conveys my ick about this. DDDDDDDDDDD:
When shipping becomes more important to you than simply enjoying the fandom, then you've become the kind of "fan" I want nothing to do with.
I'm convinced that Tablo has found livejournal. Couldn't tell you why, but I am. Also convinced that he finds much of his fanbase to be very, very disturbing. (Sadly, seeing as I mod blohyuk, dead as it is, he probably considers me one of them.)
Ugh ugh ugh. It's like the people who write HP fic and go and tell the actors about it. BUT CREEPIER BC THEY'RE NOT WRITING ABOUT TABLO'S CHARACTER, THEY'RE WRITING ABOUT HIM.
Yeah I will never understand some people. People who are familiar with the way fandom works (US bands like Fallout Boy, Panic, etc.) know people write fic about them and kind of lol. But still, that's different from announcing to the celeb himself that you omg totally ship him with this other guy, yay!
Though, for the record, this is not half as crazy as the batshit Jensen Ackles/Jared Palowlowlowski (I can never remember his last name lmao) from Supernatural fans who are convinced they are actually dating and being suppressed by their PR. It's creepy and loltastic at the same time, their conspiracy theories. ;_; I think I prefer to take the amused route because it's less frightening than the horrified route. Plus f_w makes things entertaining.
...ditto this for batshit Jaeho fans. WHY DO THESE PEOPLE EXIST. IDGI.
