the found family trope in fiction is an inherently queer trope because it directly involves deconstructing the heteronormative notions of what family is and involves defining what family is for oneself rather than assuming that the people you are biologically related to are always going to support and care for you. Furthermore it inherently deconstructs and challenges amatonormativity because rather than focusing on a central romantic relationship as the genesis for a family and on forming a romantic partnership as what constitutes making a family, it is focused on close non-romantic bonds.

THIS. Execution is key.

you know when you’re born in a non-english speaking country bilingualism is kind of a default. we are taught english from a young age so when someone asks me what languages do i speak, i respond with “well croatian and english obv, but im studying french and russian too”. and that bothers me. because english is fucking hard. in my country bilingualism is default, trilingualism is expected, and people get impressed when you speak five fucking languages where as native english speakers are praised for learning one (1) foreign language. i get that english is a major global language and why it is taught, but it bothers me that even if i spoke 5 languages fluently it would be useless if i didnt speak perfect english. and along with that, all of my hard work that i put into my english is dismissed because english is expected of me. rant over.

YES. It also sucks that even peers and other people around me get so critical when I don’t speak perfect English or that I “sound funny” doing it. I get so self-conscious about it to the point that I rarely ever raise my hand in class discussions just to avoid speaking in English. It makes me feel dumb even if I know for a fact that I’m not.

Why haven’t I seen anyone talk about Hoseok’s vocals in Make It Right when it’s absolutely fucking beautiful?!?!

ok but what do i have to do to have triple h knocking on my door to make me put some lipstick on and party like there’s no tomorrow while we’re all half naked

Jonghyun and SHINee don’t deserve to be remembered only by this tragedy. Jonghyun was an advocate for so many topics that Koreans were mum about and created music that spread his message far and wide. SHINee are legends in their own right. They sold out stadiums and tried out new genres of music that other artists had never done. Their music made so many people happy. Jonghyun deserves to be remembered as a person who cared for others even when he was hurting, he was selfless. SHINee deserves to be remembered as a groundbreaking group who broke countless records and paved the way for future groups. SHINee and Jonghyuns work will not go down in vain. Shinee are forever 5. SHINee will forever be one.
