Ever Lasting Friends

So, I was scrolling tumblr and I came across a post about fandom hopping. I would show it up here if I could find it again but it's lost somewhere now ;w; (I hate when I do that). The post talked about how it was hard to understand how one can go from dedicating practically their entire life to one band and fandom, staying up to watch livestreams and fangirling 24/7 over a group to deleting their songs and forgetting everything just to be in a different fandom.

Now I'm rethinking what I have done the past year and a half after discovering kpop.

Super Junior was my first and favorite group that I fell in love with. They were the group that my friend showed me and they were the group that had my feels ed up for an entire year. I developed biases and OTPs within a month and made a home on AFF with fellow ELFs. I used to stay up late at night to catch the MAMA awards last year. I used to spend hours laughing at videos and sometimes crying. I used to come home happily from school just to lust over fanfiction updates. They used to be my everything.

Wow. I can't believe it seems to be all gone now.

The feels began to disappear once EXO had their Wolf comeback and my friend introduced the group to me. That was when I fell so hard, too hard. I began to forget about Super Junior. It was my two close ELF friends that kept me lingering on the border of the fandom.

But now I'm ashamed to even call myself an ELF. Too ashamed.

I skip their songs when they come on.

I scroll past their posts on tumblr with a small smile.

I stopped treasuring the super junior bracelets I bought.

The feels were disappearing if not completely vanished already.

But now I want them back, I need them back. Super Junior is such a beautiful, awesome group. I'm seeing many of their fans leave but I don't want to become one of them. I want to return. I want the bittersweet memories to come back and for them to become reality and an everyday thing again.

So, today will be a Super Junior day. I'll write SJ fanfiction, watch their videos, scroll tumblr for them, anything I can think of.

But I've made this post in hope that the ELFs I befriended through the course of the year will read this and help me.

I know that's selfish of me but someone come fangirl!!!

Anyone.

Everyone.

As long as it's super junior come spazz and spill your feels everywhere! Recommend me videos and fanfics and tumblr blogs! And I hope you guys will accept me back into this fandom.

Its not bad to be in multiple fandoms. Im both E.L.F and Exotic,

i know what you mean about the whole drifting away thing, but hey, if you stick to one thing for so long of course you're going to want to need a break, even if it just is for a little while. Because at the end of the day you will still love them, somewhere in your heart.

Don't be ashamed to call yourself and E.L.F. Because if you do that's like you're leaving the fandom altogether.

It's okay to like both, there's nothing wrong with that.

Just wait till their comeback, you'll be fangirling, i bet you :)

i dont know whether you're getting bored to SJ or because of their age factor at first place.

I dislike someone who change fandom. Sorry, you remind me my friends(ex.ELF).

Dont force yourself to be ELF again. At the end, you will return back to EXO thougth. Except,if you really want to support SJ with all of your heart again.

Go watch SJ old videos if you want. from 2005 until now, it might be can help you.

Welcome to ELF fandom.

That what I feel, really. My unnie show me Super Junior to me and I fell for them but not so hard. Then after EXO debut I spazz over them but my unnie is a hardcore Elf, it's feel weird when I'm with her. She just saw SJ in real life for the first time. You can read her comment. :) but I can't, I can't turn back and love Sj, I don't know why. I also excited when she said she meet Sj but I don't know, it's feel like something wrong, I don't know what the feeling is. I once decide to stop love them, both of them, I became directioner but 1D is different, they aren't do fanservis, or yeah, something that kpop do. I really can't turn back, I already watch many thing about Sj but I can't, I just miss Yesung so much. I admit I cried once for him, I also cry today. I hope you can turn back and give Sj big support. Hwaiting!

Don't leave us...please :( Lots of Elf leaving already..please..You know, SJ did things that other group had never did..
They are not shame to let Elf see their ugly side
They call an ELF's mother in a concert
They strip down and let Elf touch them
They told us ELF they want to make babies with them
They told us not to cheat
They told us not to cheat
Just yesterday too, they said they will be sad if Elf cheats on them..I did not create all of this, it's true and I have proof if you want..
SJ had gone through lots of hardship, so their victory feel really sweet, well, compares to some other group that wins merely because they have many fans when they actually just debut about a year or so. I saw Super Junior for the first time in my life yesterday, and I love them more and more..
The choice is yours, but well, I do hope you are staying..

SuJu for life.
My only fanfic is all about them. I'd be honored if it could give you some of the feels from long ago back. Plz dont let them become a vague reminder of the past, they are still as great as they ever were!^^
All the love from one fan to another XX
