most accounts you follow are nsfw rpf accounts so you still share the space? i might be wrong idk
"also i'm not a korean or a japanese shipper so what does it have to with anything 😭"
you have written fics about korean people for years but haven't encountered even one shipping post from the east side of the fandom? that is achievement but what i mean is that they take those things very seriously and there is huge difference if their bio says km or jikook
for the following: this is where we mourn friend ghfjdfsd i follow a Lot of nsfw rpf accounts that aren't active anymore, i just never stopped following them because i don't see the point, but they aren't here anymore. i think there are a few accounts i followed recently that also are more nsfw than most but idk, they just popped on my tl and i followed them. but trust me, most of my active mutuals aren't that nsfw. almost everyone's account is 18+, minor dni, because of smut and just in general, but very few of them are porn/pwp focused (that's usually what we mean when we talk about nsfw!) my tl is very tame most of the time
and for the eastern side of the fandom: i'm aware that it exists and they take it seriously but i don't exist there, and i don't follow them, simply because i follow mostly writers, because the content i interact with the most is writing, thus i need to understand the language, so i follow english speaking accounts. and i feel like i'm forgetting to add something but idek what we're talking about anymore or why. i just really don't see how japanese or korean shippers have anything to do with me having "non con" and "dom yoonkook" listed as stuff you won't see on my account lmao

idk why you use past tense when a) you still do it and b) those distinctions still exist in fandoms, notably among korean and japanese shippers
i wrote it in past tense bc a) i don't really consider myself a nsfw acc and i don't really exist in nsfw spaces anymore (don't read/share/write pwp like i used to (like yeah, some prompts i share are smut driven, although it's rare, but generally speaking, my content isn't nsfw the way it used to be, like at all. i'd know, considering it's my account) and b) i wouldn't know if those distinctions are still that important in those spaces considering i'm not there anymore
also i'm not a korean or a japanese shipper so what does it have to with anything 😭
you have dom yoonkook in same trigger list you have non-con. that tells a lot.
why do you never call people out who portray other members that way? why one is wrong but other is fine in your books?
thank you for sharing that you still listen to their music sometimes, i struggle a lot with guilt because of it cuz i still get them in my playlists sometimes and don't always skip
yeah i get it <3 i have strong respect for people who boycott everything perfectly, and i don't believe one minute that it's because they love bts and their music any less, but i just can't. i do intentionnally avoid playlists where there's a lot of their songs and stuff like that, but i didn't purge them, or txt, from my spotify
i don't know what to say about feeling guilty. i want to say that you don't necessarily have to because it's hard to boycott everything perfectly, but guilt has less to do with what others think and more about your own feelings, so it's for you to handle. i just hope you can be kind to yourself because we aren't perfect <3
genuine question what are you boycotting if you don't boycott music and share clips from paid content?
when your ex's dick game is so good it makes you reinvent poetry (namjoon can relate)
this reads funny now😂https://x.com/witchygoogie/status/1835246497614426591?t=H4Ly085n6oz31aNt8DVIrw&s=19
for some reason i feel like wed be really good friends😭😭🫵 love ur fics and u seemy <3 hope u have a wonderful weekend
Man shaved his head, posted thirst traps on weverse, filled his instastories with breakup songs, talked about bad relationships on his live, released not one but two albums of the experience... He REALLY made it everyone's problem without asking us first /lh /j
idk...namjoon soft lauched his relationship and made his breakup everyone's problem so.....
not namgi but there is fic about this (kind of)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/35918245
tbh I wouldn't be even mad if Namjoon and his assumed ex bf got back together. He still seems to miss him or at least have not only bad memories of him if his latest album is anything to go by not to mention they looked cute together ❣️
you didn’t sound cold at all, and i get what you mean!! i guess i am drawing too much on my own experience as a writer, where unless i am 100% sure i’m ok with it being online forever, i would simply keep it in my docs (which do with i think like 30-40%? of everything i write, even if it is complete). maybe it’s also because i knew that there are people regularly downloading and archiving the whole of Ao3 (even if it’s not as easily accessible) before i ever started posting fic. and while i would never intentionally share fics an author has deleted, it does become hard sometimes if i share my whole library of favorites with someone…regardless – thank you for answering! i will try to be more mindfull
i think it's a mix of drawing "too much" from your own experience and having a lot of faith in what the future holds! writing fanficiton has a strong root in reality, be it because it's rpf or because you're writing about preexisting work of fictions. if i had written fics about something linked to someone who was found to be an abuser or something like that, orphaning my fics would Not be enough
and also, the "outrage" some writers express at sharing deleted fics isn't about wanting to get rid of all traces of the deleted works from the internet, it's just about not wanting to encourage the willing seek of deleted works, if that makes sense! no one would be mad at you for having a deleted fic in your recs, it wouldn't even make sense. in fact, i don't think anyone would be mad at you as an individual for talking about or enjoying deleted fics. it's not about that, it's about the entitlement to constantly have access to a writer's work, even if that writer showed they didn't want to share it anymore. it's about the attitude! as long as you're respectful, you're good
and sorry, i completely forgot to reply!
i hope it’s okay to ask, because i’m genuinely a bit confused… i always thought the point of ao3 was to be an archive, so that as much fan art as possibme is safely stored there regardless? and authors could orphan their accounts if they wanted nothing to do with it? like as someone who writes and reads fic…privating and deleting it feels very strange to me, like it goes against the community spirit. similarly i would find it wrong to contact people i’ve sent prints to or given freebies to at events,, it’s just. part of fan history? but after reading your thoughts i’m realising maybe i have to reconsider…but i still dont fully see where you’re coming from? i am realising this isnt really a question but yeah. i would live to hear your thoughts
i disagree, what you write, what you create, is yours and forever will be yours, no matter where you put it. i personnally don't delete my fics, i orphan the most shameful ones, but writers should have the possibility to make sure people don't have access forever to something they once posted. community only goes so far in terms of argument when it comes to someone's intellectual property and work. some fics can be associated with a time, with events that carry trauma, can be something you deeply regret, it can go deep. i simply refuse to agree the "you post it it's not yours anymore and people can keep it forever" mindset. obviously we can't fully control that, but if someone deletes a fic, they have their reason, and i find it cruel to ignore what they want because "they posted it on an archive it's now part of the community"
ao3 is an archive, you're write, and we love many aspects of it because it's an archive (tags, filters, no algorithm...) but it'd be ignorant to assume that people post on ao3 because it's an archive and for their work to be protected and safekept for decades. people post on ao3 because it's where readers go, because it's The platform for fanfiction. if they want to remove their work from it, i think it's basic decency to respect their choice.
also if the archive was built to ensure no work was ever lost, the delete option would simply not be a thing, or not so easily
