i just finished rewatching ok!ready for the thousandth time but the ending makes me so emotional. when they go in a line having to tell the next member words of encouragement and how then you can see how awkward they were telling eachother serious things and they cant help but giggle while saying i love you. but 3 years later theyre so extremely comfortable with eachother and saying meaningful things isnt hard anymore. its been incredible watching them go from best friends to family.

Happy 3rd anniversary, ASTRO! 💜💜💜

it’s funny, i didn’t necessarily think i was gonna make one of these posts, and i’m still not entirely sure what i have to say. 

but i got into astro because of some of my friends acting in my junior year musical. they were the only two people i knew at my high school who were as into kpop as i was, and a year older than me, and i sort of latched onto them, because i had no one else to talk to about the groups i liked. one day during dinner, before they had to go start doing hair and makeup and i had to go sweep and preset the stage for the top of show, they pulled me aside and showed me a video on one of their phones, not the greatest quality but good enough to show me three boys dancing to a bruno mars song, and they persuaded me to fall in love. 

this was before debut, and i was busy; i didn’t follow up as much as i should have, but over the next few days they showed me more videos, and one day they looked at me and said “this one, rocky, he’s my bias, she biases bin, so you can have sanha.” that was fine--he was cute, and i didn’t know them enough to refute that. but then they told me to watch tbc, and i did, and i caught myself paying more attention to rocky than to sanha, and i felt terrible. i felt like i owed it to the other girls, so i could continue to have people to fangirl with, to not start to bias someone they had already claimed, and it made it hard to stan astro with that internal conflict. 

but breathless came out over the summer, and i didn’t have the girls leaning over my shoulder or holding the phone, and i decided it couldn’t hurt, so i came back. i followed some blogs, messaged a prominent member of the fandom, and fumbled my way through getting my first sideblog from her, and i let myself love park minhyuk with everything i had. that was one of the best decisions i’ve ever made, because it led me to a wonderful fandom and people so full of love and a sense of community i didn’t know i could get just from stanning a group. i gave up on the girls; their possessiveness was something other rocky stans taught me was wrong, and i had people online i could gush to who would understand and join in rather than get mad.

i kind of dove headfirst into the fandom: i wrote a few things, got too busy to keep that up, then got into a group chat that’s still active over two years later, 6 girls my age i struggled through college apps with, cried with about comebacks, cried with and to about work and friend drama and school, and in a way grew up with. @ the roach stays here, i love y’all so much no matter how you may pronounce pecan, and @ ani thank you so much for organizing the gc. 

i drifted away from astro at times, no matter how much i tried to avoid it. i got into other groups, finished high school, started college. somehow, though, i’ve always come back, and i think that’s the most important thing about astro for me. i’ve always come back. it doesn’t matter what i get busy with or how long or how far i may drift, i always return for the comebacks, always dive headfirst right back in, and there’s never been another group i’ve done that for. typically once i drift i leave fully, even if i might dip my toes in every now and then. with astro, that’s impossible, and that’s as much because of aroha’s acceptance and love as it is the comfort to be found in our six shining stars. this is the first fandom i found a home in, and too much of my heart is rooted in this family of idols and fans to ever fail to return. and there’s no pressure to stay; i can leave and come running back with a different sideblog full of different content and no one will care, other than to be happy i’m back. that comfort is irreplaceable, and so difficult to find, and i know we all treasure this community, but it never hurts to say it again: this group, this family, is wonderful and loving and kind and home, and i’ve always come back for those reasons, just as much as i have for our boys, for our stars. 

i’ll always come back. 

IN CELEBRATION OF ASTRO’S 3RD ANNIVERSARY: Reblog this with a story of how you found ASTRO / how you’ve changed since stanning them!

and somehow, i found myself falling in love with the rainbow overtime
