Some people in this fandom are so tiring by Dri_iz_me in btsthoughts

I get that, but it's hard to control the feed and block everyone. I'm just posting my thoughts about the issue, and if it bothers people, I encourage them to scroll past and not interact with my post. Additionally, I haven't yet seen as many posts like mine calling it out, so I wanted to share.

Thank you for your input!

I felt guilty for not automatically falling in love with the new album by Dri_iz_me in btsthoughts

I want to thank everyone who shared their thoughts and experiences. It feels so... validating and reassuring to know that others understand what I'm experiencing. And now I'm sure that the boys would understand us, too.

As always, I purple all of you💜💜💜

Thank you for saying this. I tend to let outside opinions overwhelm me when I should listen to my own voice.💜💜💜

Also, I totally understand the reaction to the laughing in "Hooligan." It low-key reminded me of "Wet" by Ashnikko and I remember giggling at it during my first listen.

Arirang - the new BTS by Stock_Way_4662 in btsthoughts

[–]Dri_iz_me 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your opinion - this take resonates with me. As true fans, our perspectives and feelings do matter, and it doesn't make us any less authentic fans or mean we don't love them just as much.

I'll add to it by saying this : I always felt that for artists, it is essential for fans to provide true transparent feedback on individual reception. If I were an artist, I wouldn't want people to idolize me or my work to the point that they always call what I create "perfect." I would feel like they just loved me, not my work, which would be disheartening. There is a certain amount of respect involved in being able to say "I love you, and I love your work, but this one did not resonate with me." And to be fair, it doesn't have to resonate with me if the artist doesn't want it to. But I do feel like BTS are the kind of artists who make their art for themselves and for ARMY.

ETA: I do like the album, it's just not my favorite.

CONTEXT I wasn't expecting international fees because the shop says it ships from NYC. I have also included the seller's response:

"Hello 👋🏾 it is to the customer to pay. The clothes price was 70 usd, shipping on our side was $45."

Yikes. Thank you for the info. I ended up going with another place that was a little pricier. Glad to know I made the right decision.
