JONGHYUN ft. TAEYEON LONELY (170513 YHY Sketchbook)

Everytime I see old Shinee photos, I feel sad because I miss seeing Jonghuun

"It's okay to feel lost in your life. It's okay to not reach that final goal. You may earn things while being lost or could make something out of it through the emotions you feel. It should be your judgment. You don't have to make someone else judge the satisfaction of your life." - Kim Jonghyun

This quote really spoke to me 💙✨️

Post Jonghyun’s Passing Thoughts:

I always see people talking about how much of a Taemint Jonghyun was before he passed - going to his concerts, knowing his choreography, the infamous crying while wine drunk over Taemin’s latest music video, etc. - and I always have mixed feelings about that. I’m not hating on any of that because it shows how much Jonghyun cared about their maknae, how much he supported Taemin’s solo career because he knew personally how much it took for Taemin to get to that point, but it makes me sad to think that he never got to experience the other SHINee members’ solo careers.

Like can you imagine? Jonghyun would’ve been at every concert, every showcase, dancing to every song, belting them out on instagram live, wearing all the merch, taking selfies with every advertisement he came across, hyping up that member’s comeback look, playing their songs on Blue Night and then gushing about them right after. Jonghyun loved his members with all his heart and it breaks my heart that he’s not around to do that anymore.

I am a little biased when I say he would’ve especially been losing his shit over Key’s solo work, and while Taemin might be his baby, Key is his best friend and “soulmate” according to Jonghyun himself. And he would’ve been doing the same for Onew and Minho, too. He would’ve been the first one saying how much he enjoyed Dice and seeing Onew not just doing ballads like we’re used to from him. He would’ve been teasing Onew, asking him how an old man is able to dance that well and joking about ruining SHINee’s image when he just laid down on the stage at his first solo concert. For Minho, he would’ve been complimenting him on how handsome he looked in his music videos, teasing him about looking like a billionaire, and congratulating him on releasing songs that don’t really have any rapping lines in them.

My heart goes out to the other SHINee members, too, because I can only imagine how they must feel. There’s no doubt in my mind that those similar thoughts cross their minds every time they release something new. How much they must long to hear what their main vocalist and master lyricist thinks of their albums. How much they wish Jonghyun could’ve written a song just for them that they could include on their albums. How much they secretly envy Taemin for something they will never have. And I’m sure part of Taemin feels guilty that he got all of Jonghyun’s support and the other three didn’t get that, even though he tells himself he shouldn’t feel that way because Jonghyun loved them equally and Onew, Key, and Minho’s solo careers just came a little too late.

I like to think that that’s the reason the other three jumped right into releasing solo work not even a year following Jonghyun’s passing. The lyrics in Key’s I Will Fight sum that up beautifully because I do think that, in a way, they are doing it for Jonghyun. Taemin made his solo debut 4 years before the other three did. They could’ve solo debuted in that time, but my gut tells me that there can’t be a coincidence that they did it after Jonghyun died, especially since they continued the pattern of having their album titles rhyme. He is never not on their minds and everything they do, they do for him in some way. They are living for him. They are continuing and expanding their music careers for him.

I know a lot of what I said is speculation and can’t be taken as fact, but I thought I should share these thoughts because I’m sure a lot of you are feeling and thinking the same things, especially since Key just recently talked about Jonghyun on Living Alone. I’m glad that he and hopefully the other SHINee members are getting to a place where they can freely talk about him and how that affected their lives. I don’t want any of us Shawols to pressure them to do so because it is a sensitive topic for them and if they don’t want to talk about it that’s perfectly acceptable and understandable. I’ve made posts like this in the past because I follow the same logic that a lot of other Shawols follow: talking about Jonghyun, sharing our thoughts and feelings about him and SHINee is our way of remembering him. I don’t want to ever forget Jonghyun and I know all of you don’t want to either.

This post kind of got away from me, but I want to end it with this: if you’ve ever hesitated to post something about him, something like this, because you’re afraid of what others might think or are afraid that it’ll affect the other SHINee members in some way, I want you to know that it’s okay. I highly doubt the other SHINee members could hate that (as long as it’s not slandering him). They want us to remember Jonghyun in every way we can. I think it makes them happy to see that we haven’t forgotten him. It will make them sad, that part of it will never go away, but it’s better if we do talk about him and continue to show our love for him than to never do so at all. Make those Jonghyun related posts, create fan art, reblog his old photos, share your thoughts and feelings. You’re not alone, and if we ever want to get the other SHINee members to feel comfortable in sharing these things about him as well, we have to remind them that they aren’t alone and we’re right there with them. And if they don’t want to share, we have to support that, too, and show them that no matter what we love them and they are doing well.

yo so i made an au based on how i think namjoon sees the world, from 2013 to 2022, all in a diary :) key tags are major character death and angst with a happy ending. major character death because of 18/12/2017, sorry i didnt add the shinee fandom tag for that because its mostly bts, and i thought it would upset them sooo yh. anyways, hope yall like it and thx for the support!! <3

Han Jisung sang Jonghyun’s parts and did so well and I wanna weep

Hi pt.2

I've been gone for a while and what made me want to come back to this was the news about Moonbin.

First I want to express my condolences to his family, friends, ASTRO members and AROHAs.

It's a tragedy. There's no other way to describe it.

What really struck a cord with me this time is that we're the same age. He was a brilliant young man, kindhearted and talanted, full of potential, comfort for many. I don't know what truly happened, so i don't want to make comments of the sort "I wish someone was his comfort too". While it's true that we all might think this and feel a little guilty... I just feel like if I say things like that, then what are his family and friends supposed to say? I don't know if I have the right to express such thoughts and feelings.

The truly sad thing is, that with past tragedies that happened - Jonghyun, Sulli, Hara - absolutely nothing has changed. I can't help but feel like all these deaths are in vain. Because society didn't learn anything from them. We kept letting them down and now another person has left us. And for what? None of it was their fault. Why are they the ones that feel like they have to leave, no matter what, to get away, when they haven't even done anything wrong? How many people is it going to take, to make us kinder to each other? To pay more attention to the people around us and the people we idolize? Idols are people too. They're just like us. Actually, I consider a lot of them to be stronger and better than me, because I know for a fact I wouldn't last a day in their shoes. But they are still human, with their own feelings, thoughts and demons.

I'm not pointing a finger. I feel guilt. I wasn't really a big ASTRO fan. I listen to quite a lot of their music, but never followed them that closely. Of course, I knew Moonbin. Not like his fans do, but who doesn't know Moonbin? His smile lit up the screen of so many variety shows, he has so many iconic stage fancams. Even people who were never fans of ASTRO would be hardpressed to say they've never seen or heard of Moonbin of ASTRO.

So yeah, some rusty cogs are turning in my mind and I feel guilt for consuming content carelessly. Right now I can't even express eloquently how the two connect in my head, but there it is. If you feel like I do, you'd probably understand what I mean.

I always tell myself that I wish I had a platform where I could spread positivity. The truth is I've always had the tools to build one, just couldn't be bothered and made excuses as to why I didn't have this platform, or why even if I had it - it wouldn't matter.

In the end all I made were excuses.

Moonbin, Hara, Sulli, Jonghyun and all the people I've never even heard of, deserved better. Way better.

The truth is, they're better off without this world, but this world is not better off without them.

May you all rest in peace.

Of course, Minho went to Taemin’s solo concert to show his love and support, but we all know he lowkey wanted to sit in that audience and witness the Shawols lose their shit when Taemin took his shirt off in person. And you KNOW he’ll be smiling smugly, too, and thinking to himself, “I did that. You’re welcome, SHINee World.”

remember on his happy B-day, 08th April 1990, our handsome Jonghyun from SHINee, and RIP, 18th Dec. 2017 ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
