Ok guys I figured it out

The reason why that shadow appeared behind Michael when he ate the heart is not because he’s the antichrist but because it was actually just an image from a projector.

iDKHOW appreciation project

A little while ago I made a post asking how you’d like a little iDKHOW appreciation project in form of some kind of scrapbook filled with short letters/art by fans.

A bunch of you thought it’s a nice idea and said you’d like to participate in that.

So now I got myself a P.O. box for you to send your letters to and I think there’s really no better time than now to get this thing rolling.

Here are a few guidelines and info:

I’m gonna put all your letters/art into a scrapbook. To keep it all neat and hassle free please only write/draw/etc on one side of your letter because I will glue/stick them in there.

To keep it fair and give everyone the same space in the book the maximum size of your letter shouldn’t exceed DIN A5 which is about 6x8 inch (this equals about half a page in the scrapbook). If your letter is smaller (or has a bit of a different format) that’s totally fine.

Keep in mind that this is an iDKHOW appreciation project so your letters should address both Dallon and Ryan or be kept more general.

Also your letters shouldn’t be super long, think more like short-ish notes of appreciation/thanks etc.

If you decide to participate by sending in a letter please note that I live in Germany hence the P.O. box address is also in Germany. That means that postage for your letter will be a bit higher than a standard letter in your country (unless you also live in Germany ofc). I did check overseas postage for a standard letter to Germany from the US though and it looks like it shouldn’t be more than $2. Please check that your letter has the correct postage for its weight and destination before sending it or else it’ll probably not get to me.

Please note that in order to put your letters into the book I will see and very likely also read at least part of it. I will of course keep everything 100% confidential but if you don’t want anyone reading your message this isn’t the right project for you.

Feel free to include where you’re from in your message, I think it’s pretty cool for them to see where all of their fans are from.

I think it should be possible for you to send letters without a return address, so if you wish you can remain completely anonymous. Keep in mind though that this way if your letter should for some reason not be able to get delivered to me you also won’t get it returned.

Please don’t send super bulky letters, those might not get delivered to the p.o. box (it’s small).

If you can’t send a physical letter for some reason you also have the possibility of messaging me a photo of your letter (or just the text typed out) and I will print it and put it into the book. But this does of course lose some of your personal touch, so an actual letter is still preferred.

For now I will have this running throughout October and November. If people request that they need more time I will extend this time period (or shorten it should I not receive any more letters).

If you wish to be informed that/when I received your letter you can send me a message on here with the info I need to identify your letter and I’ll let you know once I got it.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to send me a message!

The address to my p.o. box is under the cut:

Update

So, for the short time this blog has been around we’ve noticed a couple things and want to add some clarification. 

We here have noticed that most of the posts on this blog are about one person in particular. The last thing we want is to make the idkhow fanbase look like one big toxic place, which it isn’t! This one person has thus far been accused of multiple awful wrongdoings to fans. These things include bullying, harassment, spreading rumors and lies to damage their reputation, and going way too far in a number of ways. 

If you would like to know which submissions are about this person, feel free to search up the tag ‘AS’ on this blog.  If you have any questions concerning this issue, feel free to send a message! Feel free to confide in us if you have any experience with this individual.

Ok so I first found her before she got famous over her Funkos on Facebook I asked if she thought anyone would fit some person well I don’t remember who I asked about eventually we added each other on facebook, I was actually one of the first people to alert her she was insta famous through the whole Dallon thing and I eventually became a big fan of her and wanted to be her friend. I started talking and interacting with her on facebook abit more and she even wanted to make a funko of me and Dallon for me at one point and I was super happy about it, I decided to draw her (which I still have the drawing) and she showed it to her mom and said she would send me her address so I could mail it to her and she could give me the pops, a few months go by and slowly she stops interacting with me even tho on many accounts she called me her little sister and a good friend of hers and I thought I fucked up for a long time, I didn’t want to ask about it but she ignored me completely and it was really fucking with my anxiety and one day she just unfriended me on facebook for no reason, Which confused me a lot. I never mailed her the drawing nor do I know if she had the pop of me and dallon, But a few hours later I was trying to figure out what to draw and decided to post on insta that I would re-draw her in my new art style cause I was quite proud of it (I still have this drawing as well) and she messaged me and was like “aww show me it when it’s done :)” and I did, she basically just said thanks and said it was ok that I fucked up the hair a little cause I felt bad for that and she just ignored me after that, I also became close with a few of her friends on facebook when they would talk ot me in the comments, I was supposed to see idkhow but I moved and my friend was working the venue that night so she was going to try and get a video of ryan and dal saying hi to me and sadly she wasnt allowed in the back and Dallon and Ryan never came out of the back, I was heart broken and one of her friends tagged her on my post and said “help a girl out” and she never responded which dosnt bother me but I found it strange she just, dropped me all the sudden, It also really fucked with my anxiety for a long time espically since she always said how much she cared for me and how much we talked, But yea- thats it really.

My experiences in the iDKHOW fanbase

This one is long, so buckle your seat belts.

At first the fandom was inviting, everyone was nice, and it seemed like an overall happy place. But ever since March, it’s gone downhill.

I have three experiences, so I’ll dive straight in.

Back in March, I had dealt with this girl who is notorious for starting drama just for follows, likes, etc. Her followers don’t see that(which is unfortunate)and she is one of the fakest people ever. She confronted me in my DMs accusing me of things, calling me “self obsessed”, “ungrateful”, “fake”, etc. All of this because I “didn’t follow her back”. I had unfollowed one of her friends, and she of course wasn’t happy about that. In her words, she said that since she “helped me get noticed by Dallon that I should follow her”. To which I’m thinking, “Dude, I’ve seen your posts and the shit you talk about. I don’t want to be following you because of that.” We talk it out, block each other, and all is well. Or so I thought.

A few days later, I woke up at one in the morning and I see that I had been tagged in a hateful confession about me. The girl had anonymously done it, twisted everything around to make me seem like this annoying piece of scum(when in reality, I’m very nice to people), and gotten people to hate on me as well. The confession was taken down ultimately because the account asked me if I wanted it to be deleted. The girl in question is still starting shit to this day, and I really hope her followers soon see how problematic she is.

Experience Two:

So this year, my friend and I had started a project for the band to show our love and to say thank you. It was pretty successful during the East Content Tour, but it was a semi flop during the London shows. The only one that worked was the last show. Leading up to the London shows, Breezy had found out about our project and had gotten into contact with us through our account. She posted our promo on her story, and immediately people started to follow, say that they’d love to help out, etc. We were beyond ecstatic. However, drama surfaced too. The same girl from my previous experience started talking shit about the project, calling it dumb, stupid, “there’s no point”, etc. But then turning right around and saying that she participated in the p!atd hearts(which is essentially the same thing)(I’m not trashing this project, I love it). That drama only lasted a day, and that night I had DMed Breezy on our account thanking her for hers, Dallon’s, and Ryan’s support(she had told me firsthand that they support it)and I told her what had happened that day. She was completely sympathetic and told me to message her if there was any harassment, threats, etc.(to which there have been none yet, thank God). Cut to after the London shows and hate resurfaced again.

A different account in question started saying the same things that the other girl had been saying, and calling it a flop because it didn’t work in London or Manchester. That made me realize that not everyone is going to participate/it’s not for everyone(which is fine). They did the same thing but said that it was stupid because it “didn’t have a deep meaning like the hearts” and apparently our message of showing love was an idiotic message. I ended up dming the person explaining the message but then ended up unsending my messages because I didn’t want to start drama. Two hours later, the person posted calling me a pussy in the caption.

Experience Three:

This one is on the shorter side. A few months ago, I was on my explore page and I kept seeing posts from one account that I was very tired of seeing. I had blocked them so that the posts didn’t show up anymore(this was before Instagram had the mute posts option). Cut to next month, and the account messages me on a different account saying they’d like to follow me but they can’t because I have them blocked. I immediately freak out and start apologizing profusely. They have a large following and when I remembered that, my anxiety kicked in saying that shit was going to start, they would post hate about me, etc. They forgave me, but I still had that anxious feeling. They ended up unfollowing me the next month, and now things have gone around about them in the fan base. To be honest, I had always had a weird/bad feeling about them and now the tea going around about them confirmed my beliefs. My friends have had the same feelings as well, and they told me that they had been tired of seeing the account as well, but they were too afraid to come forward and say something due to the fear of backlash.

Before I end, I’d like to add that at some point, I felt unsafe to go to future shows because of the people I had dealt with. I was scared that if they saw me, they’d talk shit, try to start something, or talk shit on social media after the show. My main fear came from the bigger accounts that I had conflict with. It’s sad that people like that can make it to the point that you feel unsafe to attend shows/have fun now. After talking with friends and having venting sessions with them, I’ve now realized that I should still take the opportunity to see the band if I have it. Fans can’t exactly “ban” you from going to shows, and they’re the ones who are going to look bad if they try to start shit face to face. So to anybody who’s feeling that way at the moment, that is my advice to you. Your fear will soon subside, trust me. Yes it may take time, but it will. Take it from a person who experienced that fear.

Thank you so much for reading my experiences.

i saw idkhow back on sept 1st (almost a year ago wow) for the first time. i was second in line with my sister and we waited 5 hours in 100°+ weather with barely any water. this girl [name Redacted] and like 5 other people with her showed up 30 minutes before doors opened and cut 40+ people in line bc “their friend saved their spot” when they really just didn’t want to wait in the weather. they get barricade and EVERYSHOW and take up the ENTIRE barricade. then they got mad when people did the same exact thing to them in seattle. karma is real everyone.

honestly! this fandom was so good before a bunch of drama went down and it’s just exhausting. i wish people would stop beating others down to try and be #1. we’re all fans and that’s all we’ll ever be. some people just don’t realize that.

When I got into IDK at first everyone was so excited about it, but now everyone is just being so mean to each other. A lot of people. It makes me miss what the IDK fandom was like a year ago, I wish people would go back to that mentality and stop treating everything like a competition. We should be banding together as they become a bigger and more recognized band. Dallon shouldn’t have to watch all this drama unfold.
