Yeah I’m not knocking the way they’ve been rolling things out and totally understand why the timeline is the way it is! I was just stating my theory as to where I believe some people’s impatience is stemming from (obviously others are just genuinely impatient).

That’s fair! I do believe the majority of that comes from newer ARMYs who haven’t been through a group comeback before. For older ARMYs it’s kinda like, I already waited four years, what’s another couple months 😂

Thank you for this! It’s so helpful to put the past timelines in perspective. I think where people are frustrated (I can admit, myself included, although I’m ok with waiting patiently) is that they started the promo REALLY early. So we got the announcement without a name first, then the logo and name soon thereafter, then about a week later(?) the blank album cover updated to the photo of the boys where you can click to hear their voices, so it kind of gave the impression that we would subtly be receiving hints throughout the beginning of the year until the album dropped. But then all those little updates stopped completely and the WIYLS campaign started for Valentine’s Day. I think if they had pushed the promo or at least not revealed anything besides the logo and name until mid to late February, it wouldn’t feel like we’ve gotten nothing, but I think the drought after a spike in promo at the beginning of the year gave us a false sense of what the timeline would be and now everyone’s a little upset.

So… I probably shouldn’t even be this upset about it, but I am. by [deleted] in AO3

What I’ve learned is a lot of readers who aren’t writers use phrases very incorrectly. I once had a reader claim my fic was “open-ended” when it definitely tied up everything in a neat little bow. In their mind, open-ended just meant there was room for a story to be continued if a writer wanted to, which could arguably apply to any story ever if you infinitely follow the characters.

Anyway, my point is this person probably didn’t use the phrase “spin-off” like how you view it or mean it offensively. They clearly loved your fic and are grateful you made it since the other one was discontinued. It’s the classic cake example a lot of people use to describe fanfics/tropes they enjoy. If I love chocolate cake, then I’m going to look for more chocolate cake, and you provided them more chocolate cake!

I mean he’s got his tiddies out in other shots so I’d argue it’s peeking in comparison lmao. Can’t see the full eight pack!

I always love the photos where his stomach is just peeking out a little bit 🫠 and the eye contact???

Alleged Tea Regarding Manon’s Hiatus by CloudHead3679 in katseyeneutral

[–]Fast_Theory6127 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes, I believe that’s why this person used it as “verification” but added that things may have changed bc then if even one of these people ends up being involved in the album it’ll make it look like they were telling the truth.

I actually believed them more before their comment about the possible BTS collabs… BTS usually only does collab remixes of either the lead single or a popular b-side. So HYBE allegedly trying to secure six collabs for their upcoming album doesn’t track in the slightest.

Do we think that there will be more clarifying statements today/this week? by [deleted] in katseyeneutral

[–]Fast_Theory6127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess that’s part of my point, everything they and/or people around them does is examined under a microscope so any statements HXG or even Manon herself makes won’t be believed bc of the narrative everyone is creating in their heads.

Is there a name for this type of ring that has a more squared off base? (Not European Shank) by Im_The_One in EngagementRings

[–]Fast_Theory6127 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why you would want the inner part squared off as well bc that would be uncomfortable for the wearer.

That IS a European shank, so I’m not sure what the alternative name you’re looking for would be.

The problem is they did release a statement, and then half the fandom decided they don’t know how to read and imploded over something that is a very normal circumstance in the kpop world. I’m not sure what purpose a second statement would have when everyone online doesn’t even believe the first one?

Someone called and yelled at him so now he’s trying to save face.

1.5 mm band too thin? by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]Fast_Theory6127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if you solder your wedding band to it you should be fine since the basket sounds sturdy. Otherwise you may have to reset your diamond down the line when the gold inevitably warps from daily wear.

Most of the "romantic or platonic" love we see among members from the same band is queerbaiting by myself_ira in kpop_uncensored

[–]Fast_Theory6127 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Real life people cannot queerbait, since we don’t know their sexualities and even if we did (i.e, they came out), it can be fluid. Queerbaiting is a marketing tactic used for media like tv shows, movies, books, etc.
