Since clarz has me by the Namseok balls today...
hey remember when Namjoon stopped after "Wildflower" at Rolling Hall to say, "Makes me miss j-hope. I just miss him." hey remember when they wore lock and key necklaces at the JITB party. hey remember Repair Sonyeondon they'll fix our hearts 😭

Two black & white stills of Namjoon from his Rolling Hall Live concert for the release of _Indigo_, taken right after he finished singing his title track "Wildflower." He has a sort of patchy jean jacket on, a mic in his left hand and a water bottle in his right. Across the bottom of the left still it says, "Makes me miss j-hope." Across the bottom of the right still it says, "No, I just miss him..."

A pair of full color pair of photos from j-hope's Jack in the Box Listening Party. On the left is Namjoon with long black hair, frame tilted up to the right, a big bright smile on his face with his eyes closed. He has on a Paris Balenciaga shirt and a large, obvious key hangs from a necklace around his neck.
On the right is j-hope, also with black longish hair, head tilted back to the left and face looking up to the right. He's dressed in an oversized button down jean-like shirt with a darker shirt underneath, holding a champagne flute in one delicate, beringed hand with some liquid in it. Hanging down is a necklace with a large heart lock pendant on it, the silvery heart shape shown clearly against j-hope's dark undershirt.

A screenshot from one of the PTD behinds, showing a shorter and lighter haired Namjoon with a pair of oversized safety glasses on his face perched on a white protective mask. He has on what looks like a jumpsuit top, a necklace made of wire chainlinks, and a colorful, lower cut top. Perched on his left shoulder with dark haired glee is Hoseok, dark hair askew, also wearing oversized safety glasses, these perched over a black protective mask. He is also wearing what looks like jumpsuit, delicate hand splayed over Namjoon's right shoulder, showing off a broad silver bracelet. Both are obviously smiling.

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

for a while i was like noooo maybe theyre reacting to something im not seeing, maybe they're seeing something im not, maybe im missing something, even if im not then their feelings are valid too. now im like Smoke A Blunt Get Some Perspective These Bitches Are In Love.

like so many fans are soooooo not interested in actually listening to what the members are saying and more invested in whatever theories they've cooked up based on rootless anxiety & Negative Vibes so they can be annoying and sad and upset online.

i dont wanna armchair diagnose but as someone who suffers from catastrophizing and is in therapy for it (among many other things ofc)..... like this is not based in reality. these ppl are projecting fleetwood mac oasis beatles 1D on a band that has REITERATED EVERY YEAR that they are family.

be quiet im so dizzy @fossilofourstar.bsky.social · 9d

at this point i think ppl just enjoy catastrophizing. i've seen ppl do this w other kpop bands too, despite said bands SWEARING CONSTANTLY SAYING THEY WANNA DO THIS FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE THEYRE COMMITTED TO THE BAND AND THEIR ARTISTRY. meanwhile fans online are losing their minds every 2 days.

because uncreative people don't want to be creative. They don't want to make a film, they don't want to write a book, they don't want to make art. They want to just be a filmmaker, an author, an artist. Art is a means to an end, not the end in itself for them.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

You know what? Normal people have been telling stories and making art about the full range of human experience, including the fucked-up and and horny and uncomfortable and nasty and horrifying bits of it, for as long as we've been a species. The shit on Ao3 is normal.
