i totally agree with you that people are extra annoying being all stuck in macho!jjong (and also macho!minho) images but what can u expect when they still write fics of flamboyant diva!key, innocent!taem and clumsy dubu!onew when it's been CENTURIES since they don't push those stage personas. sometimes i wonder if shawols/casual followers of shinee got stuck in 2012 5ever.
fic is like my Reminder that these stereotypes still seem to linger. like every single time i’m like Yeah, Nobody Seriously Thinks That Anymore, i open up a fic and lo and behold. fic is sort of weird bc it seems to cling onto outdated things more than any other any fandom thing. even ppl who u thought were Safe from those stereotypes end up writing fic that incorporates them and its strange.
i swear its the weirdest thing but its a Trend. you see someone and they seem Past that and youre !!! and then you figure out they write fic and the summary is something like Jonghyun Was A Straight Dino Fratboy, Until He Made An Exception For Fabulous Diva Cat Key and its like ??? where is this coming from
and then theres aff and lmao i think the rest of everyone is constantly trying 2 forget the affers exist so. its wild aff is a real time capsule they dont even pretend theyve moved on past 2012
