(Not a good sign. Dang I let my childish side out 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏)

K that's it let's continue writing the fanfics now. (While also got another english assessment tomorrow.jpg)

Ever since the Poet | Artist MV came out, I’ve seen posts from other Shawols shaming the fandom for the video’s low views. While I understand where those feelings are coming from and the desire for this song/MV to have a stellar amount of views, I want to take moment to address why it hasn’t gotten the views that a lot of the fandom feels this MV deserves.

By now, we are all well aware of the connection this song has to Jonghyun. We’re even more aware of how this comeback was dedicated to him. It’s been known since before the MV was released. I appreciate SM’s effort to make this known prior to the comeback and MV release because, as I will go on to explain, it’s helped prevent those still affected by Jonghyun’s passing from getting triggered.

For those that aren’t aware, there are those in the fandom that are still grieving. Yes, it is real and still on-going, even after 7 years. Yes, IT’S OKAY to be one of those Shawols, and no, you should NOT be ashamed for doing what is best for your mental health.

So, to explain it simply, the reason behind the low views on Poet | Artist is because we are a fandom that is still trying to HEAL. It’s not because we don’t care or are lazy. We WANT Poet | Artist to have millions upon millions of views but it’s hard to accomplish that when a song you love and cherish so much also hurts you and makes you cry every time you listen/watch the video.

In due time, Poet | Artist will earn a viewership that makes the fandom proud. It’s just going to take longer to get there because we have to heal along the way. Who knows - this song might even help those still affected by their grief, but what won’t help is calling out the fandom and shaming them for not streaming the MV. All you’re doing is giving these grieving Shawols another reason to distance themselves from SHINee.

That’s why I ask that SHINee World please stand united. Whether you are old or new, Pre-2017 or Post-2017, show your fellow Shawols some compassion. What happened affected us all in some way, and there is no time limit on how long it takes to overcome grief.

LSH: oi kim rok soo whats with that ugly mask and hair. When did you dye it

*CJS walks in*

CHJ: WHAT THE FUC-

Rok soo? you scared me, what's with that look!

Yeah I know, I bawled my eyes out at his death scene too but I’m not cursing the directors for letting this happen??? ??? Jesus, the directors need lots of love for making a masterpiece like Vincenzo but now y’all are just acting immature.

It’s normal for k-dramas to give at least one good character a sad ending/kill them off. It’s a way to really end the story with you being happy with the antagonist’s happy ending but also mourn the death of the antagonist. Holy shit; I thought y’all would feel sorry for Han-Seo’s death, not LITERALLY come for the actor of Vincenzo (Song Joon-Ki) for not helping Han-Seo in the k-drama that doesn’t even make sense? Anyways, some of you guys really ruined the mood of watching Vincenzo for me. Grow up, please.

(I’m still so annoyed at these people like literally pleasseee)
