B.A.P and B.A.P Oneshots

These past few weeks, and honestly the past few months in general, I started pulling away from this blog. It was a lot of loss of inspiration, a lot of loss of readership and just my own motivation. I’ve updated in trickles, once in a while, and I’m sorry that a request list that was anticipated to end in January will now be stretched to who knows when. But I’ve taken a bit of a break and I think I’m ready to say what I want to say.

Regarding B.A.P’s lawsuit: It’s definitely something that I’ve anticipated. Maybe not a lawsuit exactly but something similar. The dissatisfaction and fatigue was quite obvious in their faces. It broke my heart to see Daehyun tired and everyone just looking down and now this happened. I think they’re doing the right thing. Like all fans, I have my own worries and frets. Will they win? What if they don’t? How would this affect them as artists/musicians? All of those questions scare me and not knowing the answers, not knowing when the answers would be revealed, is scary. But the only thing we can do now is wait. 

I know a lot of fans want to show the boys our support. But I do want to advise against donating anything. Legal issues are tricky. Legal issues regarding money are even trickier. Anything can be used against them; anything can be pulled out and taken into the wrong context. So the only safe way of support is to avoid all negativity. Don’t insult TS Entertainment, don’t send hate messages. Remember, Yongguk preaches art and love, not war and violence. We don’t want to take what B.A.P stands for and turn it into what they’re fighting just because of our anger. I want Babyz to please just send the boys our love using the hashtags: #ForeverWithBAP and #JusticeForBAP. That’s it. Sending them our love is all we can do. Sending them our money would not be beneficial. 

It pains me to say that B.A.P’s future is one giant blank right now. They are a big selling group. Would TS give them up easily? Of course not. But we can only hope that the courts will be able to do their jobs correctly and realize that these artists are human and that they have been treated inhumanely. I do want to prepare us for change. Maybe B.A.P will come back under a different name, in a different company. The likelihood of the Matoki being continued is very low. All those are only superficial changes. The changes that will matter would be whether B.A.P is happy or not, and that is all that matters in the long run.

As fans, we can only watch from afar and follow the news and pray for a happy ending. We can boycott TS products, we can send our boys love. But that is truly the extent of our abilities. Please try not to do anything else because anything can be misconstrued by the money-laden company. We don’t want to hurt; we want to help. 

In light of what is happening, I am doing a collaboration with someone (it’s a surprise!) for a story. This is going to be a big pressure because this is the only way I can show B.A.P and the fandom how much I appreciate them. This is my chance to bring a little bit of hope and I hope everyone anticipates. It won’t be completed anytime soon but hopefully before the end of the year definitely. 

Regarding this blog, I cannot guarantee anything. Sometimes writing about B.A.P only hurts, but sometimes it heals. It reminds me that there is hope. I want to try my best to revive this blog again. But that is going to need your help. I need my Potatomatoes to please help support me as I try to gain back my writing and what I like to do. I posted a story today and it was the first story in a while where I think I have my old “voice” back and I hope you all can see that. I want to turn this blog from the semi-hiatus slug it has been into what it was before, an almost daily updated blog. But I do have finals coming up and I do have a lot less time. So I’m going to ask you to help me. 

We’re all in this together, for B.A.P. I want to keep this blog alive for those who see this as a source of hope. There are a bunch of you, and I’m really grateful for that. I’ll try to be better about answering my messages so you guys can feel free to hit me up. I’m open to discussing opinions, getting feedback for my stories and just plain ‘hellos,’

Let’s stay strong as a fandom, Babyz. Let’s make B.A.P proud of us, as proud as we are of them. They’re fighting a heavy battle now and we can only send them love. 

Thank you so much, Babyz, Potatomatoes.

Love,

Commander J, and fellow Baby

this post literally sums up pretty much everything I feel about this whole issue, and in kpop in general I suppose
when I first got into kpop, I was really into the music and the artists, the dance and the catchy tunes, but now that groups I've come to adore are starting to break apart, it's actually kind of depressing to try and listen to kpop now, if that makes any sense. plus, with the growing importance of school and university, it feels like there's not as much time as there used to be. I still love the groups that I've known since debut, but I don't know most of these new rookie groups haha

that being said, I do adore your stories though hehe. even though it's slightly depressing because it reminds me of the situation that the boys are in, it's nice to know that people out there such as you and I, along with everyone that reads your work, supports BAP and their rights as people, not just idols on tv

good luck on your finals! you're gonna rock 'em :))

J, I almost cried after reading your blog post.

The past few weeks have not only been depressing as a Baby, but also in school. It's such a struggle to juggle schoolwork and it's becoming more of a chore instead of something that I was really passionate about. But there's always something in your stories/ posts that sparks hope in me. Everytime I read your (non-rated) stories, I feel motivated and determined to make my day a productive one.

Your choice of words and the way you portray your characters and storylines are so comforting and it has been my source of joy in my daily routine. I would read your updates on the train/bus to/ from school, and before bedtime after a whole night of mugging.

I can never imagine the day you decide to stop writing because you need to know that your talent in writing brings joy to sooooo many Babyz out there, not just 1 person.

Right now, the future for BAP is grey and the future scares the crap out of me. And thanks to Babyz like you, with mass followers, there's always hope and joy in everything. You always remind me WHY I fell in love with B.A.P. Thank you J.

P/S Good luck for finals, you smarty pants. I want an AJ signature too hehe

Me too ♡ Let's love and support B.A.P to the fullest :) I don't care about changes because no matter what they are still Yongguk, Himchan, Daehyun, Youngjae, Jongup and Junhong ♡
Unnie, you stay strong too ^^ I'll wait for you like I'll wait for B.A.P and just thank you for everything...
Let's have faith in them, I'm sure our boys will come back happy and strong!!
I ♡ U Baby family
