I've reached the stage where I borderline dislike my bias but I have a hard time leaving the fandom because I've grown attached and stanning him as become one of my main hobbies, I wanna say I'll leave of this comeback will leave me disatisfied but I genuinely don't know what else to do like I like drawing and writing but all of my hobbies have been centered around my stanning experience for over a year, most of my friends are stand too You don't have to reply or read as I know negativity can be exhausting I just wanted to vent lol
why don't u get a new bias then or switch your stan environment im not sure why you feel like this but you don't have to stick to something you're beginning to dislike I understand ur attached and it's a bit different since theyre temporary but I feel like you should at least enjoy what ur doing
I'm not saying this to be snarky but for you or anyone who has this relationship with stanning you should try improving your intellectual life. No lie, i like kpop (cleary, since i'm here) but at its core its a completely brainless emotionally unfulfilling mental preoccupation without communal or otherwise energizing activities (e.g. dance, fashion, socializing at meet ups or concerts, etc.) to go along with it. drawing and writing are great solitary hobbies but if all your creative inspo is routed in kpop, you should try decentering kpop from your creative endeavors bc if you do eventually unstan that can hurt your drive to draw and write. maybe explore tangentially related media as a starting point such as korean art/literature or culture/art criticism (everyone should read susan sontag in their lifetime) or idk the sight and sound best film list. expand your creative horizons. also this is tangential but as someone who had left kpop for a while and came back for bp/zb1, their short contract was actually a huge draw and reason for me to stick around thus far LOL. i was like yeah, i can do 2.5 years of semi-active stanning as supplementation to my more substantial hobbies, then more passively follow my bias post-disbandment. It's possible to strike a good balance if thats what you want 👍
yea like there needs to be balance and just awareness of what you're really into you can't allow for your life to be consumed. Even though I run an active kpop cc I rlly try not to let it affect my general enjoyment or even what I do outside of it it's possible im sorry you feel that way but hopefully it gets better
hiii requeef while we’re on the topic of substantial interests i’m also an art student like you and in my case doing art/creative work means a lot to me, granted i’m not the best at it but like it’s something that gives me /drive/ it’s just that with the rise of AI, ignorant and uneducated people who don’t do creative work suddenly become so arrogant and think HA cant wait to drive artists and designers out of jobs cause my shitty ai prompt will do the job of course :) like, i love art but it feels lonely apart from being in a likeminded creative bubble. these general people really don’t know what it takes to make quality creative work, they’re clueless yet so arrogant about it, their ‘art’ is soulless and making a good art is not about creating uncanny looking realism these tasteless people are in no position to know what a good art should look like and they think their AI prompt can meet that standard 😭 i know not everyone goes to art school and is educated about this field but still
I understand you totally arts been like the most driving and consistent thing in my life and it's pretty frustrating to see all this unfold. Are you perhaps a fine art student? I don't attend art school but I'm assuming since ur there. It sucks but arts just going to have to evolve into what fits for the current time period we're in so long standing respected works gonna have to work around or adapt around AI. I can't even imagine what the next 5 years is gonna look like in terms of it it could end up dying out like NFTs or growing idk I feel like just know right now ai arts just toted by the same mush brain nft thwarters and their opinions have like no value or space in the community. I feel like just keep enjoying what your doing and probably try to take a futuristic approach if you're also worried about how it could affect your career like I'm a design student specifically and I'm just seeing how I'll have to adapt towards this when it comes to that like I was gonna pick up a marketing minor for example. But yea sorry this is so long NFNFNMFMFMFM
