★ Sincerely, Lee Know | Ver. 01

★ Summary: In an alternate universe where Lee Minho AKA Lee Know is a sassy blogger. You get to see with your very own eyes everything he documents on his blog, whether that's his thoughts on a recent movie he had just watched, his experience eating at Taco Bell for the first time, or the bitch he almost had to fight, Lee Minho will stop at nothing to get his points across.

★ Discretion: I hope it's not confusing, but this is a roleplay? I thought the idea would be fun. A lot of cursing and mature contents will be discussed, but nothing too over the top. Beware excessive cringe maybe. This is a series. Enjoy!

★ You are currently viewing: About Me

Hi, my name is Lee Know, or I guess if we're getting personal here: Lee Minho. Although I prefer Lee Know because people always get me confused with the actor Lee Minho.

I rant and complain A LOT, but I don't think I need to tell you that, because you'll be finding it out for yourself later. But I have the mouth the size of the pacific ocean, and holding back is the last thing Lee Know does. So if you're a sensitive little bitch, then do not continue any further. If you still do and proceed to come for me, then well... that's between you and god.

More about myself? Well... I'm just your average everyday guy, but better. I like to listen to music and dance on my free time. And when I'm not doing that, then I usually hang out with my crew. They can be real idiotic and sometimes I wonder why am I even putting myself through their shit, but they are the real homies. Have been with me since forever and I know they will always have my back, so watch out.

Why I started this blog? Well, funny story. I got into an argument with Chan one day, btw shoutout to @christopherbangcorner go follow and like his stuff. I know he told me to not tell anyone about his blog but I could give two shit. Anyways, we were arguing and he said to me "You run that mouth of yours so much, why don't you put it to good use for once." so here I am. So if you're interested, keep reading. If you're just coming here to hate on me, then well... that's going to be difficult because I'm quite a likable person if I say so myself. I'm just kidding... ish.

Anyways. That's that. Proceed with caution!

Sincerely, Lee Know.

Yo, I just suddenly remembered the rudest customer I ever had. So I used to work at this Boba shop during my high school days, and this motherfucker with his cupcake shaped hair jimmy neutron looking ass came in and started yelling at me for getting his order wrong. Like bro... why you tryna fight a 16 year old about a $4 drink. Chill tf out. There are children dying in Africa. Now that I think about it, 16 year old me was on some adult shit. 22 year old me now would've spit in his drink.

This is not hate but how can you support someone like pewdiepie after all hes done? I feel like it's wrong to put him with Jack because sometimes i feel like jacks his friend only because he feels he needs to because of the shoutout. Don't stan him with Jack or associate him with him please. Pewdiepie is a bad influence and a white supremacist

Ok. Let’s talk. I was going to ignore this but you’re really persistent. This is the fifth ask you have sent me telling me the same thing but in different ways. Sad thing is that I just started this blog, I can’t believe this keeps happening to me in every fandom I go to. Some of you need to understand something about Felix.

Yes, I’m aware he did a lot of questionable things. And no, he’s not a white supremacist. He’s not racist. And he’s not homophobic or whatever Twitter/the media is saying about him these days. I might not know him personally but I’ve been watching Felix since the very beginning and even with this little info about his life I can tell the difference between some things people choose to ignore about him. He’s a very honest person and he always tells everyone the information they need to know about him, whether it is about his personal life or his pewdiepie persona. His real actual friends (Jack, Ken, Mark -also good people, and whether you like it or not, Jack is one of them) held him accountable for the things he did and also made sure to assure everyone that the ‘Pewdiepie’ personality is totally different than his real-self. They confirmed he’s not any of his mistakes. Meaning the ‘Pewdiepie’ personality got too far and the facade/entertainment mask fell off of him when he made those mistakes. This was not only a lesson for him but it showed him places that needed real improvement in his life, something we all need sometimes. We all fall short in understanding the potential harm we can do to others and we easily face the temptation to define ourselves by ignoring those crucial parts. What Felix needed to learn was self-awareness. And he’s now constantly working on it so he can objectively evaluate himself when it comes to those things. Some people face this alone and privately but, him, as an internet sensation had to do it on camera.

Pay attention to what his actual friends say about him. Jack himself said it:

‘It is strange, all the stuff that gets said about him, it’s kind of weird to see that being said about a friend of yours. To hear his actual thoughts on it…people like to take things every which way and twist things all over the place. I don’t know how he does it, with that many people on you and that much scrutiny on you constantly. I think I would have lost my mind by now.’

I’m also aware he’s a white rich guy and that he’s a step up on the scale from me and other people but I’m sure that if I dig long enough, I’m going to find something about certain actors/actresses/musicians (that most likely you and other people love) as well. Meaning they’re human at the end of the day and they might make mistakes too. Felix is the same case here.

It was dumb to say certain things and do certain things? YES. I held him accountable when he did those things. He didn’t need to say or do the things he did. It was irresponsible, harmful and immature from his part. However, he’s willing to make a change and work on it so this is something I can appreciate.

He did the fivver video. This is his statement:

‘I make videos for my audience. I think of the content that I create as entertainment, and not a place for any serious political commentary. I know my audience understand that and that is why they come to my channel. Though this was not my intention, I understand that these jokes were ultimately offensive. I think it’s important to say something and I want to make one thing clear: I am in no way supporting any kind of hateful attitudes.’

his response.

He said the ‘n’ word. He sincerely apologized. This is his statement:

‘I hate how I personally fed into that part of gaming. It was something that was said in the heat of the moment. I said the worst word I could possibly think of and it slipped out. I’m not going to make excuses to why I did it because there are not excuses for it. I’m dissappointed in myself because it seems like I learned nothing from controversies. And it’s not like I think I can do or say whatever I want and get away with it. I’m just an idiot but that doesn’t make what I said or how I said it okay. It was not okay. I’m really sorry If I offended, hurt or disappointed anyone with all of this. Being in the position I am, I should know better. I know I can’t keep messing up like this and I owe it to my audience and to myself to do better than this. I really want to improve and better myself, not just for me but for anyone that looks up to me or anyone that is influenced by me and that’s how I wanna move forward. Away from this.’

source: my response.

He:

Held himself accountable.

Made no excuses for his behaviour.

Recognized he did something wrong and stupid.

Sincerely apologized for it without making a fake act or fake crying for sympathy.

Never asked for sympathy or support because he's willing to make a real change in behavior.

Realized some people are influenced by him and worked to be better for them and himself.

Chose to be himself and stand his ground on an important matter to make his audience understand he was taking this as serious as it is.

Understood he gave ammunition that feeds some people the wrong idea and didn’t try to rationalize it because he knows he should take accountability for it.

Saw that he had no need for jokes or words like that in his vocabulary in the first place and worked on self-control.

Rightfully feels ashamed for his actions.

Here you can see Felix takes this seriously. He’s not messing around with what happened. He takes it with the responsibility it should be taken.

And this is enough for me. I’m sorry if you think Felix needs to do a blood sacrifice to prove himself but that’s just not how it works.

We all have said or done things we are not proud of. He did many of them and trust me, he was held accountable for them. How? Here’s a list of the consequences:

He was part of the original content network YouTube Red, and was affiliated with Disney’s MakerStudios brand where he had his own network. Disney cut all ties with him.

They cancelled his YouTube Red show, where a lot of people put big effort (not only the participants but the crew members). You can see that this was important for him. It was not just some random ass show.

Was held accountable for his actions and it was made known every mistake he did. Every single one.

Received the proper criticism from the media, his fans and his own friends.

He also received harsh backlash and hate from the situation.

Lost support from followers, celebrities, friends and companies.

He’s constantly attacked by people and media outlets on a daily basis. Some people even fabricate false stories about him.

He faced the proper consequences for those actions. Let him move on already.

You also listed a bunch of stuff in one of your asks, things he’s NEVER done. Those are things the media has made you and everyone else believe he did but he didn’t. This is why you should never believe any random media headline, you need to actually do your own research to see if that’s true or not. Here are the things you said he did (none of these are true):

No, he hasn’t hired people to say the ‘n’ word. This is not true at all.

No, he doesn’t promote Adolf Hitler speeches and anti-semitic cartoons. Disney did once tho.

No, he’s not homophobic. At all. He was actually evicted from his own flat because his previous landlord is an actual homophobic person and called him and his crew the ‘f’ word. He decided to move far away from the guy.

No, he didn’t perform the Nazi heil. Never.

No, he didn’t pay the ‘Jesus’ guy to hold a sign that says ‘Hitler did nothing wrong’ this is a lie. Someone else did it and the media said it was him to cause more controversy. He paid him to say ‘Subscribe to Jacksepticeye’.

No, he’s not racist. For this, his content would’ve to be filled with racial jokes and actual intentional attacks daily. His content is not like that, trust me, the most he does is play with some tambourine all the time. He’s said the ‘n’ word (something he admitted was terrible, apologized for it and took responsibility for his words), yes but someone that feels as bad and ashamed as he does, does not equal to what an actual racist is and how they act.

No, he didn’t dress up in a Klansman robe. He never did that. This is also false information about him.

No, he doesn’t bully his friends or enables bullying. I don’t know where the media got that one but I can assure you they’ve got no friends if they think his interactions with his own friends are ‘bullying’.

No, he doesn’t joke about crises happening around the world. AT ALL. He constantly raises money for them (and gives his own money as well) to different causes such as the Wildfires Emergency Appeal, Team Trees (to plant 20 million trees), St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (for kids with diseases such as cancer), Crisis Text Line, National Alliance on Mental Illness (a group that helps those suffering from mental illness), CRY (a GoFundMe campaign to help Indian children living in poverty), World Wildlife Fund (dedicated to the reduction of mankind’s environmental impact), RED (did a whole 7 hour livestream with friends to help people fighting HIV/AIDS in Africa), Charity: Water (a non-profit that provides drinking water to developing nations), Save the Children (for underprivileged kids to give them better education, healthcare, better economic opportunities), he recently raised $106,000 for the BLM movement donating the contributions to the family of George Floyd and other victims of police violence, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Hope for Holt, Malaria No More, Oceana, SpecialEffect, War Child, etc. Does this sound like someone who makes fun of real problems happening around the globe? No. And no, he hasn’t made fun of those causes either.

No, he doesn’t make fun of mental illnesses. He talks about it with the proper respect and delicacy it deserves. He constantly adresses mental health, shares resources for viewers who may be struggling and talks about the importance of being aware and getting legitimate help. Where are you taking these facts from?

No, he doesn’t support China’s police brutality. He was BANNED from China for critizing the president and the country’s treatment of Hong Kong’s anti-government protests. How hard is it to watch the real video instead of trusting some Susan from Twitter?

No, he has NEVER disrespected Japanese culture. Felix loves Japan and respects their culture. He always treats the people and the place with utter respect.

He’s not a white supremacist or a secret Nazi. Are you insane? He’s said it himself ‘f*** anyone who is racist and anyone who is a white nationalist. That’s not what I’m about. And that’s not what my channel has been about either.’ Maybe if you think about it, the media painted him that way and people decided to go with it because they don’t actually watch his videos. The number of accusations and stories are insane and ridiculous. Have you ever watched one of his videos? Ever? Because if you would’ve, you would know none of these things are true.

No, he doesn’t encourage kids/teens to see and follow Nazi ethics. He recommended a channel that does anime reviews (he didn’t know the channel had pro white-supremacy videos). You’re accusing him of that for not checking the thousand-something videos said channel has because he liked one anime review? This is reaching to a whole new degree. You could’ve randomly watched the same anime review vid, does that make you a Nazi as well? And NO, he didn’t wear an Iron Cross, he was wearing a Georgian Bolnisi cross. The shirt is by the Georgian designer Demna Gvasalia. Use Google please.

I don’t think you’re a real Jacksepticeye fan if you think he’s sticking up for him only because of a shout-out that happened years ago. Extend your perspective in this. He knows him in real-life. He’s his best friend. He can tell he’s not a bad person. This is not a hard thing to figure out.

Also, you forgot to put the anon option in one of your asks, so I know who you are. Weren’t you joking about WW3, using the ‘r’ word to fight with your followers and making fun of the BLM movement a few months ago on your twitter account? It might not look like it’s possible but we’ve also made and are capable of making some of the same mistakes too. The difference is that some of you hide behind the ‘it’s just humor to cope with life’ gen z card. Joking about a serious important movement is harmful as well, hope you can learn that.

I can’t tell you how to emotionally react to his content, however I can advise that if it bothers you that much you should remove yourself from the environment that revolves around him (if you even watch his videos which I highly doubt) if you’re not willing to give him a chance. You also need to remember that forgiveness is private and personal, just because you don't see his content and can't see that change doesn't mean it's not happening. There’s power in understanding.

fanfic asks 3, 12, 15, 25, 27 !! <3

Thanks Jeanne! Love ya 💕

3 - favourite line/ scene you wrote this year?

The one that I’m thinking of is:

“She has seen crazy things in her 25 years on earth, from tortoises mating in Africa to Bon Jovi’s ass when he mooned the stage a few years ago. Nothing haunts her nightmares like Will Schuster though.”

(From Sue’s perspective of Schue going to prison in my anti-Schue fic).

When @esperantoauthor was doing a dramatic retelling of the fic over voice call everyone lost it, so now it’s my favourite.

12 - favourite character to write about this year?

Blaine Anderson. I like his POV and I get him. The laid back version of him in Scorching Summer Heat is very fun to write.

15 - something you learned this year?

That my humour translates well to what I write.

Also that my knack for creativity hasn’t left and I should put things out there even if I don’t think it’s perfect or great.

25 - a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read?

How the hell do I choose? I read 200 fics in 2020 and have done a decent amount of reccing too.

If I’m going to pick 1 it will be ‘passed down like folk songs’ by @kurtstinypurse.

(But also check out my bookmarks on AO3 here for over 300 fic recommendations)

27 - favourite fanfic author of the year?

Same as favourite fic! How can I pick one?

Ok my favourite is @kurtstinypurse - you are getting some shoutouts today!

But also:

Here is my post(s) about my favourite fanfic authors - so here’s thirty different authors I’d recommend.

(I’m going to do a part 3 soon as well).

That February Weekend

Nothing is as refreshing as endeavoring new realities and stepping out of your comfort zone. Travel is a great way to achieve this. Learning about the world and its marvels really expands the horizons of your perspectives as a human being. Whatever your destination, you never come back the same. This February I had the opportunity to travel to the North West with my better half. It was his birthday weekend. We were visiting the province for the first time and had only three days to explore it. Travellingcheapskate put us on a weekend mission that made sure we lived our best lives.

DAY 1 Departure morning was a bit rocky. There were a few loose ends to attend to before we could hit the road. I was a little anxious because I really wanted to make sure we were on the road on time. My anxiety might have ended up causing some friction between my partner and I (sorry not sorry though because he was adding to my anxiety by being too calm about everything).We succeeded in tying the loose ends and we were on the road in no time. The trip officially started at Nomad tours in Midrand. There's a mini bar there so we celebrated our successful morning with a drink (It was after 12 somewhere in the world,so it was ok). We were now in travel mode, relaxed and ready for the trip. Our first destination was Pilanesburg Game Reserve. The aim was to get there before sunset, so we had plenty of time to enjoy the journey and stop in regular intervals.

We made it to our destination on time. As we entered we were greeted by a few warthogs ( aka Pumbas ) wondering around. I instantly fell inlove with the place.We proceeded to our campsite to pitch our tents before it got dark (now that was an adventure all on its own ). After we were settled, supper was the last item on our to do list that day. We had a mini braai and socialized with other guests that were visiting the place. We met so many lovely people. One character that stood out for me was a lady named Elizabeth, she was loud and full of life. It was her wits that caught my attention though, before the end of the night we had nicknamed her "wiwi" (but that's a story for another day). The night definitely ended on a high note.

DAY 2 As I woke up to watch the sunrise, I spotted a few impalas and springboks scattered across the campsite. It was quite a sight. Amidst the orange morning skies, fresh safari breeze and the grazing impalas and springboks, I just stood there taking it all in. It was a such a great starter considering that the first activity for the day would be game driving. We had breakfast, showered and headed out for our game drive. What I really love about game drives is how your experience is solely based on chance. (The amount/diversity of animals you'll see is directly proportional to the amount of prayer and fasting you part take in prior to the game drive). My experience was nothing short of amazing. We spotted 3 out of 5 animals making up the big 5. We saw both the black and white rhino (that was a pretty special moment for us). Giraffes, wildebeest, ostriches, kudus, hippos, zebras, I could go on forever. It was such a special drive (shoutouts to our ranger Dan, I learnt a lot from what he had to say about each animal). Next time I would really like to see a lion . Anyway, after that awesome drive we headed back to the campsite for lunch.

The next item was SUNCITY. I was super keen for that one. Suncity is a world class destination, and everyone who's been there has had great things to say about it. We put on our bathing suites and headed for suncity. We arrive and OMW , everything looked absolutely majestic. We wasted no time and headed straight to "the valley of the waves", that's where you find all the water activities and the man made beach. It was absolutely lovely. We had so much fun getting wet. The joy was short-lived though, the rain had no manners. We were , however, not discouraged. We decided to get some shelter, get dry and waited for the weather to settle. The rain stopped, the sun was shinning again, we picked up where we left off. We absolutely loved it and we're definitely going back before the year ends. So we left mini paradise and made our way back to the campsite. We had supper and further socializing took place because we had to tell someone about our amazing trip so far, someone had to know.

DAY 3 Bittersweet beginning to our morning because its time to say goodbye to the lovely campsite that's been our home for the weekend; But we're also excited for our final activity. Time to pack up our tents and head out to our next destination Hartbeespoort .

I honestly really felt like we couldn't have ended our trip on a higher note. Harties is an absolutely beautiful place. It consists of many tourist attractions including the aerial cableway (which is the longest in Africa), snake park, aquarium and loads of other things. We were particularly there for the cableway. We started off with a mini tour around the area. In no time we were on the cableway ticket queu because I couldn't wait another second. And oh my !!! before I even stepped into the cableway my heart was already skipping beats. The view on your way up wow. What an exhilarating experience. I wanted to ride it up and down non-stop but apparently that's not allowed . The cableway basically takes you up the hill where you find a restaurant right at the top. Being there was so refreshing, I felt like my soul was restored.

Picture a beautiful sunny morning, you're at an open air restaurant at the top of a hill overviewing a magnificent dam and its surrounding mountains; There's live music playing in the background and you're sipping on your favorite beverage, in good company, enjoying good conversations. I keep reliving that moment in my mind. It was an amazing way to end the trip. We had brunch and spent some time exploring the peak and the view. There were moments where we'd just stand there in amazement. Special memories were born out of those moments. When it was time, we headed back down the cableway. And there we were, driving back home with fulfilled and satisfied hearts. I had the time of my life. Most of the things we did that weekend we had never done before. Since that trip we have been inspired to travel more. We made great memories.
