WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT DELUSIONAL SHIPPERS/SOLOS (AGAIN)
Hello again, it's me! I know you guys haven't (properly) heard from me in a while and I want to say that I've been incredibly busy and will probably continue to be busy until I know what my schedule looks like come January. But anyways, enough about me, I just wanted to say that I have come across DEEPLY DISTURBING rhetoric spread about Jimin as of late and I wanted to bring it to your attention!
It seems that during this solo era, many solos on every platform have increasingly grown, whether it be in number or in appearance. Now although I don't really understand being a solo stan, as long as the person is not outwardly calling for BTS' disbandment, hating on any particular member, or spreading rumors that are not true -- I have little to find an issue with. But I will say that during this band 'hiatus' and solo journey, the amount of hysteria surrounding certain members has gotten crazy -- ESPECIALLY IN THE SHIP SPACE.
Once again, the target seems to be Jimin. I swear this boy is too sweet for this ugly world...
Anyways, once again I'm going to be talking about delusional taekookers/taekooker solos -- and once again, may I remind you that when I refer to 'delusional' shippers, I am not talking about people who find taekook cute, people who ship taekook, or people who have their suspicions/theories, I'm talking about the people who put on a tinfoil hat every day and spew lies in an attempt to pass them off a truth. People who try to make a meal meant for twenty off of nothing but crumbs. Theories are theories, but they are NOT the truth. They should never be promoted as such, nor worded in a way to encourage people to wholeheartedly believe in them.
Enlistment "Drama"
What I find to be the worst part about this entire debacle is that people cannot just let Bangtan be -- everything has to be about a ship, everything has to be about this or that. This is an incredibly difficult process that every Korean man is subjected to -- and not by choice. The fact that Jimin and Jungkook can go together at all is a MIRACLE, especially since the companion system runs on a lottery-type system. We should be celebrating that they have someone familiar to cling to during this major life change. Anyone who claims 'fanservice' seriously needs to get the fuck out. This is REAL LIFE. Get a fucking grip. Now let's think logically for two seconds... why on earth would Jungkook and Jimin subject themselves to supposed 'fanservice' for eighteen months when
them being selected for the companion system was not even a guarantee (no exceptions, no favoritism from the SK government)
they'll be completely isolated from the outside world for eighteen months, therefore having no reason to 'show off'
deliberately selecting one of the more strenuous units when they could've done something less taxing
being upset that the press released the information regarding their enlistment/location, among other things
Being exposed as queer in the South Korean military is NOT a benefit; it actually can serve as a social detriment
Instead of thinking about this through the lens of shipping, why don't we look at this from the view that, maybe, JUST MAYBE, the two of them have been very close/good friends for over a decade and decided that this was the best approach moving forward? People started talking about how their company was forcing taekook apart all for fanservice and that they were sending Jungkook in with a 'mentally ill person'. These people even tried to report Jimin to the fucking military ministry. If Taehyung wanted to apply with Jungkook through the buddy system, he could've. But he didn't. That doesn't prove nor disprove any ship. It just means they were making decisions they thought was best for them because... the military is no fucking joke. They are the PROPERTY OF THE SOUTH KOREAN STATE. Let me repeat: THEY ARE PROPERTY. OF THE. SOUTH KOREAN. STATE. Trying to avoid this results in PRISON TIME.
This isn't some quirky summer camp... and the fact that toxic shippers and solos are making this into a fucking circus... it's just disgusting.
Do you really fucking think that Taehyung OR Jungkook approve and cosign that type of behavior towards one of their closest friends? Do you really think that?
Just take a look at this conversation. This is beyond ship wars... these people need to get some serious help. A ship like this should NEVER drive you to this much resentment and trauma.
Also, let us take into account that Jimin is very close friends with Taemin from SHINee. Taemin suffered from harassment (reportedly in the showers) while he was in the military. Given their similar personas (a very fluid presentation), perhaps Jimin felt that having a friend could help prevent him from experiencing that same type of harassment from other people. Perhaps Jungkook also had anxieties regarding that and also sought Jimin for a type of protection as well.
Why are you making this poor boy your personal punching bag? The fact that some shippers think that they know Jimin/Jungkook better than they know themselves... They had to personally file for this, and select where they wanted to go. There was no manipulation from higher-ups, Jungkook is not being TORTURED by going with Jimin. Also, I'm sure Taehyung is just as heartbroken to be separated from Jimin (may I remind you, is his BEST FRIEND), Jungkook, and Namjoon. These boys are his family.
These people are lost causes, they obviously have lost their grip on reality entirely. Also, the fact that solos are sending BUSES to the training camps after the boys got on their knees to BEG people not to come. These people are not fans, they are sasaengs with little regard for human emotion.
If your obsession with RPS has gotten this bad, go to fucking therapy. Get off the fucking internet. Unstan BTS and the boys entirely. This is not okay, this is plain insanity.
Also, if you guys are looking for something to laugh at during all of this, here's an ARMY who turned a video of a toxic tkkr/jimin anti crying over the enlistment process into a Jimin edit.
TRIGGER WARNING: FLASHING !!
The jimin anti/toxic tkkr deactivated, but I did get a screenshot of what they said over the crying video.
until next time.

the endless loop
person A: the violence against Israeli citizens was horrible. all the violence in the region is horrible
person B: so you justify the violence against Palestine? free Palestine!
person A: no, all violence is horrible, non of it is good. Violante against civilians is bad no matter what their nationality is. a war crime is a war crime.
person B: why do you only condemn the Palestinians? this is Israel's fault! they brought the violence upon themselves! they are evil occupiers and have been committing war crimes for 75 years! how dare you only go after the Palestinians when they are fighting for their freedom! you should condemn Israel for what they are doing to Gaza.
Person A: I did, I condemn the violence of both side.
person B: you should condemn Israel! they are committing war crimes! the Palestinians did nothing wrong! why are nobody going after Israel?!!!!
(meanwhile, the UN cannot reach a resolution to condemn the attack against Israeli citizens but have no problem condemning the total siege on Gaza. Just to clarify BOTH ARE WRONG)
do you see the problem?
I am tired. being a leftist is hard. having fucking decency is hard sometimes.

PART 2 OF MY SECONDARY SCHOOL POSTS!! since i recently rbed something about them thinking about doing school-centric pips and what it means for both my own lore and how i might interpret more of these into canon... +_+
storm/myth
the two sides of a violent coin; the yearning to create, to consume as much as possible, before destroying it with your own hands. it feels like the wild beat of rain against your face, of wet ink smearing across your fingertips, a gold-tipped nib piercing through paper. it looks like the eye of the storm in the worst typhoon you’ve ever seen—but your mind is as clear as day.
life/death
it’s the idea that you are part of the cycle—when something is born, it ultimately dies, and that’s it. but you can bring life to it once more, and you do. it looks like gold pouring into the cracks of a shattered pot like kintsugi, feels like the first breath you take after being brought back from death in the heat of battle.
balance/life
it feels like the flora already knows of your own destiny before you do—twisting vines that mangle and warp themselves across ancient ruins; that there is a cycle that even you cannot escape from. it’s the toll of a grandfather clock, the first leaf of a baby sprout, and it’s the indescribable feeling in your chest that feels a connection to the old, oaken trees.
myth/ice
it feels like a brain freeze—unable to move until it's over, clawing at your head as information files itself neatly into stacks against your skull, or spills into your mind like papers thrown hastily off a desk. visions come blinding and bright, and laid before you is a path of snow, footsteps already leading to your destination.
fire/storm
it feels like the low, dark rumble of an incoming thunderstorm; as lightning crashes upon tumultuous ocean waves. the thick stench of ozone descends upon them; passion that burns away to anger, bubbling hot and low in their stomach until they explode violently and messy like a volcano, leaving ruin in their wake.
