Hi there, sorry for just barging in like that but I'd like to ask if you could perhaps recommend some good Taemin biased accounts to follow on Tumblr and on Twitter/X?

Also, you're a 2Min fan? Would you happen to have fanfic recs by any chance? I haven't tried Asianfanfics yet because I don't have an account and this site doesn't look particulary easy to search at first glance. If you had recs for shipping vids on YT I wouldn't mind those either.

In any case, have a beautiful day!

Hi Anon! You're welcome to barge in here anytime.

Tumblr is relatively quiet but there is an account that does a lot of updates with photos etc, and that's @nso-csi - they're really good.

Perhaps some readers can share some of their fav Taemin tumblrs in the comments.

On Twt, there are few good accounts for updates:

@ xtmtaemin does a lot of translations and updates

@ WordsByTaemin is great for sharing interview quotes

@ iheartshinee_ does a lot of Taemin updates & translations

I am a 2Min fan and fanfic writer. You can find me on Twt @ 2Cinnamin and on Ao3 and AFF under that name.

I can certainly recommend some 2Min fics to get you started. AFF is clunky and not user-friendly, but once you know a few authors, it's easier to navigate.

Xyzak_13's Stay for a Night is a very mature, adult and intimate short fic full of feels. I love the clash of physical and emotional intimacy in it.

This anonymous smut fic called full is kind of iconic to me already, lol.

This Beautiful View by yo_nice_skirtt is well-written sci-fi AU that had a few shades of Blade Runner.

Gonna Make You Scream by gojiyeong is a fun, Halloween themed fic.

If you want to take a walk on the wild side, here are a few more:

Inmates in Love - unfinished but incredibly well-written and as dark as they come.

Blood for Poppies - devastating short taboo fic very well written; check trigger warnings

If I had to recommend one of my fics, I'd recommend Five Bad Ideas.

Welcome to 2Min world!

Apparently, people are starting to notice how BTS fans mistranslate things to create their own narrative. Perhaps these fans didn't quite predict who would be paying attention to their antics this time.

Fans falsified translations from MHJ's press conference making it look as though she outed SM, YG & JYP for buying awards, when she never said such a thing. It's not new for BTS fans to falsify translations (they do it to their own members) but this is the first time I've seen people recognizing this tactic on a large scale.

When scooter starts leaking texts between him and Bang, that tea will be hot.

I really can't imagine what their texts would look like. Do you think Scooter calls him Big Papa?

I love that picture of taemin with duplicate hands btw it's cute 🥰

This one? I love it. 😭

#taemin #cutest even in meme form

[peppertaemint]

Oh i just know there's some text chat in there same way for jm like how they talked about aespa.

bongpd: you can step on jm right?

Scooter: hehehe hhehhe

That #1 of jm's must have hit them hard cause he wasnt supposed to get that first cause he was there without bangpd's formula and support.

The picture I'm getting is of a total asshat who wants to play god. The thing is, Bang might understand how army have a warped yet strong moralistic instinct. I think that given enough dirt, the tide could turn. I think MHJ gets that. She's not stupid, even if she lost control today.

Hopefully the shaman can work their magic so more comes out.

Need them to spill more about bongo and Scooter. Pretty sure mhj side has more dirt on them.

I need another presentation of leaked texts. Fry him!

#fry him for this man especially

Hybe admitting to buying awards for New Jeans while trying to defend themselves from MHJ's allegations

#hilarious #poor girls tho

SM was so messy I thought nothing could top that, but Hybe said step aside.

#following the updates is dizzying #hybe

2Min world is all aflutter today because the pair wore very similar outfits to rehearsal together, they had a gym date, and they posted the same gym date photo (MH on IG, TM on Bubble). How cute.

#cute cute #i love seeing everyone collectively uwu over their cuteness #2min #2min shinee

He pushes everyone out the door then just picks Taem up and carries him. 💀

And we thought Key was the mom figure? Just look at Minho making sure everyone is up, ready and out of the dorm on time!🤣

There are some really weird shippers out there man... they just keep getting weirder and weirder. And I love a good ship! But like, some people really need help.

Min Hee Jin vs Bang was not what I expected for a Monday.

There's an interesting thing happening with the whole recognition of Hybe's profit over skill strategy. Fans of the company are re-centering the standard for singing to that of the company's groups instead of acknowledging the problem. That feels like a symptom of the fake news/subjective reality context of contemporary life.

In previous decades, there was some consensus over reality. What I mean by that is, we could all agree on what a good singer sounds like. We could debate who was better or best, but the debate between good vs bad singers wasn't controversial. Now, we live in a time period where people's identities and communities are rooted in beliefs (not facts) about art, and if these beliefs are lost, so too are people's identities and communities.

I think tying your identity, self-worth or community to someone else and their art is dangerous. We risk skewing reality to maintain our status quo if we are too entrenched. Donald Glover's Swarm was a good satire and statement on this phenomenon. I think there are already a lot of real-world consequences at play.

#idk it's interesting #hybe fans also think other fans view or defend their artists' companies as they di #which is just not the case #food for thought #kpop #fandom #fandom meta
