For More Than A Year Now - Tumblr Posts
Let me whip out my beloved Black Swan for this one. I was gone for a few days and came back to see everyone sobbing and ohh. Well most of the people already had a feeling that this anthology was like a "goodbye" for the time being and a hiatus isn't very shocking atleast to me. The whole decision of this hiatus has been in the making for quite sometime and we all saw the changes happening since Dynamite. I hate whatever Hybe is doing and how it's affecting the tannies but I won't rant about a million ways I really dislike the company and the industry and what agendas and ult motives have been in place for all the contents and acts to milk people as much as they can and how the fandom so easily gets lured in the capitalist agendas and even defend them. Nope, this is about BTS as people who are just artists.
I'm glad that instead of going on like sheeps to the slaughter house and doing everything they were told with fake enthusiasm; they addressed the issues they've been feeling albiet a little late and with wrong management but I'm putting that on the company (genius marketing as always /sarcasm). Now I'm very behind in seeing all the new content and still haven't seen the full Festa video but only saw Namjoon's part and I kind of understand them and their questioning of self as artists. I get how difficult it must've been for them to slowly realise that what once held so much meaning for them is getting blurry and fading away, that helplessness and confusion is heartbreaking. I've always complained about how excess capitalism and consumerism negatively affects artistry and seeing Joon talk about how being in this industry and being idols affected them, it's sad knowing their freedom of creation and authenticity was interfered with in such a way that they had to step away and evaluate everything, which shows how much they respect their art. I hope they'll find some anwers to their worries in this hiatus and be happy. I'm sorry I couldn't explain my thoughts in a better and more understandable way. I just wish them luck on this new chapter and hope they'll do whatever they love and won't feel guilty for not being upto everyone's expectations because that's literally impossible. It's okay to take time to understand things and it's okay to change. People always change, everything changes. They shouldn't be harsh on themselves for putting their individual growth first and not being the same old BTS most people expect them to be all the time cause it's not possible to stay the same way forever and I hope people understand it too. We grow, we learn, we change. I don't feel any emotion other than that of understanding, support and bittersweet love for them. I always wish them happiness in whatever they do.
Black Swan be hitting a little too hard when you realize you've kinda lost the passion you had for the only thing you used to love and it feels empty now
