[I am aware people do read because of the exo part, so uh, just scroll down -.- geez, exo discussions nowadays]

Okay so I just got back home 3 hours ago after like urgh one month plus. Geez this two months were crazy. First were the finals, then the activities, the YEP, the tough selection and blahblahblah, then LOL I flew to taiwan with my friends and had a nice 8 day trip. Then flew to china to see my mum (whom I will not see for another year, sighs) and have a freaking busy life there I don't even know why .______.

Yep. Anyhow. My flight just touched down at 2am sharp, and here I am! Wide awake, lol. I have loads to catchup on, from my Subject combi, facebook, WBC, this SJ site (teukbestleaderthing), AFF, my friends (whom I have notsosorryly neglected for quite a while hrmp), and of course my CCA -.- 

I wanted to check my subject combi first but OH NO the password is screwed. So meh. I looked at facebook and hm its boring as I last remembered. Saving DBSK SJ updates till another date when I'm more free because oh hell it will take a whole lot of time. I tried my best to reply to my saddening friends but ehehe I think I missed a lot as per usual LMAO. I opened my friend's blog and I kind of couldnt be bothered to read (honestly sometimes I wonder why I still bother to read her blog its so obvious we're over). I opened my own blog, the last update was months ago and I don't feel like writing. 

So yes, HELLO AFF.

1. I realized I have a pending beta request from the reviewshop I work at oops IM SORRY.

2. Jesus SO MANY FICS WERE UPDATED NO NO NO I WANT TO READ SO TEMPTED URGH.

3. THERES GONNA BE A ING SEQUEL FOR THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION SOMEONE PLEASE KILL ME BEFORE I DIE OF HAPPINESS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

4. TVXQ IS HAVING A FREAKING 10TH YEAR ANIVERSARY ALBUM YES YES YES LET ME SREAM BABY!!!!!!!!!! <3 and hell no shut up if you wanna say ohitonlybelongstothefive screw you homin deserves this album thanks. I am OT5 too but really there are times when you should be happy for them because hell they freaking deserve it okay, they deserve every single bit of it. Do not, ruin it for them. 

5. Found this letter that I think EVERYONE in Cassiopeia (or basically, all that is biased to anyone of the five or blahblahblah) should read. I shall reblog it later.

6. And er this, EXO thing. Er, so basically, there was this person was posted on my wall: "I read your About Me on EXO and SUJU, I respect you. Like seriously /salute/ " and erm, I AM VERY CONFUSED. I checked and re-checked all my blogposts and er honey I'm sorry I don't think Ive written anything about exosuju. The only one I recall that deserves a salute is moreorless related should be the Of EXO and their saesangs. But uh, yeah. So if anyone can enlighten me, I will be very glad. Yep.

7. Since I was that confused, I went to do a search in AFF about this exosuju thing and OH. SOMEONE. KILL ME. THANKS. 

Really. WHY, ARE HUMANS SO CHILDISH.

What is the point. Oh god. THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS. Your problem about their existence?? .______.

Does not understand why people keep comparing Suju and Exo. Hi. Super Junior is a group that debuted in 2005 November 6, a group that went through a lot, a group of supermans (although notsoslightly insane), a group that I love a lot. EXO is a new group which I honestly don't know when they had kind of debuted thanks to the pre-release, teasers and blahblahblah I am lazy to recount. Why, do you keep comparing them? Perhaps when the idea of EXO first started spreading, okay fine. It's natural. Just like how DBSK was compared to HOT when they just debuted. But hell, it had been a whole year (or more, honestly, pardon me for not knowing EXO's debut -.-) since EXO is out, why are you still comparing them to SJ? 

Yes. I admit. I was one of those who bashed on this EXO12 idea because what? I'm an ELF. It's not as if we weren't used to SM's antics. Debuting a new group to replace the older or so-called "fallen" ones, just like DBSK & HOT. If you are not an ELF, if you had not known what ELFs had went through and witnessed our boys went through over the years, do not come up to us and call us paranoid. SuJu is a group which took a rough ride during their growth, and as their fandom, we as ELFs had came to naturally jump up and protect them against anything that we take as potential threat, especially not to mention an idea that leads to so many linked thoughts.

I saw a couple of blogs talking about this suju vs exo thing. Some are good, well-developed and neatly structured for reading purpose. I did came across generally rantings (which I cannot say I am not guilty of, except that I rarely do it publicly). But yeah. Basically, let me sum up the points that I've gathered.

a. "XXX because so-and-so IS THE BEST!" <-- yep, that's usually what starts fanwars.

b. A fandom is like a mixture of good and bad. No fandom is full of insanity and obssession, but none lacks of it. It's part of human nature. I, as a Cassie and ELF, will not deny that sometimes fellow people in my fandom embarrasses me with their untactful actions.

c. This problem of wrong tagging. I am no big fan or user of Tumblr, but yes, I am aware of how effing annoying it gets when people use tags randomly just to get attention and views. Like just, oh god, can you please grow up.

d. We are different. So accept it. No fandoms can be identical, or even similar. Because every artist is unique. So stop comparing. Healthy competition is fine, but such extra pointless and not to mention image-damaging 'wars' are extremely stupid.

e. If we are all gonna be a big fanclub, being indulged in fanwars endlessly is pretty ridiculous, especially when they are usually provoked by even more ridiculous reasons. 

f. Can we achieve mutual respect between each and every fandom? Hi, I do not like EXO's fandom, but yes, I do not purposedly provoke them by insulting them because hell if someone insults ELF or Cassiopeia I will not be very happy. We all know how that feel. There's this Chinese saying 己所不欲,勿施于人 which basically means "if you don't want the same to happen to yourself, don't do it to others". I think it explains my point.

g. Sad to break this to those obsessive people, but er, you see, SJ and EXO members have a pretty good personal relationship. So well, ignoring every other factor of your acts, you are actually hurting those people whom you claim to love.

Okay. My last point. All those who have thoughts like that, I suggest you can keep them to yourself because really, my fandom, your fandom, in fact this whole kpop world is a lot nicer and cleaner without such words breaking into the peace and quiet. Music is meant to be enjoyed and I'm sure those idols stand on stage to enjoy music along with us fans in whatsoever way. No point in ruining that.

Really. Grow up. If you claim to love this group, try thinking for them. Their feelings. Their image.

Thank you.
