An idol's response-ability
This is something that cannot really be ingored per se, nor attributed to a thoughtless moment. When a person is so famous that they literally have millions following their every word and action, that person IS fully responsible for how they respond to life.
This isn't 2013, when there was a naïveté to everything that the guys did on SM. This is 2024.
An idol is responsibile for their actions and words. Their ability to respond matters.
What would people in that sub-crowd be doing had Park Jimin shared a clip on his IG story that came from a jikook-supporting account? We know the answer to that question.
Park Jimin would never do such a thing.
Who knows what is going on inside of Kim Taehyung. When we look at the events prior to his enlistment (the breakup with Jennie) and the pressures of stepping out of the limelight and into being a man serving the military, I do think he was struggling just like anyone would. He is human.
That share of topless Kook on his IG story just before enlistment was the big flag to me, that V was navigating some stress and probably even some fear about stepping into bootcamp. As I said, he is human. Most who enlist go through levels of fear and stress. That is normal. How people deal with it is a varied as the people themselves.
I just think that his coping looks different. I think that his antics on SM are a way for him to feed the ego, numbing an emptiness, even though he knows that that storyline is false. A person who needs attention/energy (especially the narcissist) will accept any form of attention/energy, be it positive or negative. Energy is energy.
If you have ever been in a relationship with a narcissist, then you understand this dynamic. Attention is attention. They have to get attention, no matter what form it is in. They don't actually know any other way to navigate their lives. The narcissist never recognizes that they are a narcissist.
As one who navigates this life with awareness of energy and the dynamics of energy, I see what is happening. Energy is the basis of everything, whether a person sees it, feels it, is aware of it, or not. Energy can be really messy and hard to understand, for those who are not aware. It is the invisible Web, that every human being is connected to. Navigated consciously, it can be a flow of ease and harmony. Navigated unconsciously, it can be a tangled mess that is really hard to move through, and it can hold people within patterns, relationships, and lives that are challenging.
A person who is in constant need for attention is a person who is not fully balanced and connected (to Source/the Divine and Earth) in a healthy way. This isn't judgement, it is simply an energetic dynamic. V is navigating as one who is not quite sure how to sustain himself energetically, through a clear connection with the Divine that is grounded, and connected to the Earth. Imagine a column of Light that flows from above the head (from Source) down through the spine entering into the earth. That's how One's basic energy is intended to flow. (Hope that made sense!)
We have 17 more months to get through. More than likely, we will witness more of these types of actions. Nothing can obviously be done to change those, yet we CAN be mindful about how we RESPOND. It is our response-ABILITY that matters. The ability to respond in a way that is either neutral energetically, or one that brings a loving and compassionate energy into the situation. Without any negativity whatsoever.
I didn't know that this was going to be written. As always, it is my sense, my opinion, and just some food for thought. After seeing some of the inflammatory words that have been put out there, I feel like it is important to also offer thoughts that might just help with maintaining a neutral energy.
Sometimes, I sort out my thoughts and senses through typing.... I think that this is what just happened, here... I hope this helps someone else sort through their thoughts, as well. 💜

The pouncing of “Armys”
Pouncing. Yeah. Jumping upon another, with both feet. It’s like a knee-jerk response from a lot of people who profess to be Army. I just don’t get it. Speaking as one who’s been on the receiving end, from total strangers who don’t know me or my heart.
The whole idea of policing others to make sure they are only saying things that are in alignment with one’s own beliefs is so out of control in the fandom. No one has the right to force someone to adjust their beliefs according to their own. The only exception is when it’s related to something outright toxic, lies, or something intentionally harmful to another.
There’s a rabid energy that appears with some, that feels really yucky and really toxic. It doesn’t belong within the fandom, imho. There is plenty of room to disagree and to have different views, but there is no room for toxic, negative, attacking words or actions. People who engage in those tactics are not ARMY.
I hold back from making observations a lot of the time, simply because I don’t want to be pounced on. You know, that energy flows where attention goes. It also flows through words on these platforms. When a person attacks another verbally, they also attack that person energetically. Yeah. Energetically. Let that sink in.
That is why the things that we say, the things we write/type, and the things we do are so important. It all has an impact on some level. That is why a few snarky or mean words that are aimed at a total stranger matter.
On this platform a person can write what they want to write, as it is a personal blog. There is full space to express, and be fully authentic. Most of the time blog posts aren’t negatively aimed at a person, and aren’t written to attack a person. (At least none of the peeps I follow do that!) This blog is a relatively safe space, in that way. Thankfully....
It’s those other places like YouTube, Twitter, IG and such, where it can get really sketchy and where the rabid fans think nothing about attacking.... And, at the same time, I feel like it’s important to not just go back into my cave and hide away. I feel like it is important to be able to make comments and to do so in a conscious and non-harmful way. So I’ll continue to do so.... even with the chance of getting pounced upon again.
I’ll just keep shining the Light and do my best to navigate outside of the negativity and yuckiness. Ultimately what is needed is some good old fashioned positivity, in this fandom...
I think I’ll go smudge myself, to clear out that yucky energy that came from YouTube a little while ago... it will definitely help me feel better.
Got sage? ✨💜✨
