Dear Cassiopeia...Part 2

This here is my supposed inspirational letter to Cassiopeia.  :D

Ah...Cassiopeia.  My bias fandom.  You can be crazy-as-heck, but seeing the red ocean makes me proud to be a part of it--even if it is unofficial.  And we even have another section: BigEast.  We are still the biggest fandom in the world...but only by a slight margin now.  We have lots of pride I suppose.  But do you know the story of Cassiopeia according to Greek legend?  Cassiopeia was a queen known for her beauty...and her vanity/pride.  Later in the story, Poseidon punishes her by placing her upside down in a chair for all eternity (the 'W' in the sky).  Here is a better synopsis here.  But most of you aren't like that...are you?  Surely we don't act vain and prideful all the time...  ^^;;

Well, by the end of July, we will be entering our 3rd year of this awful mess known as 'the lawsuit'.  Would you believe it'll have been two full years of not seeing TVXQ as a five-member group? 

I'm certain that this whole mess is totally messing with some of you.  While most of the fans may have decided to choose a side, there are others that still wait for the day for all five members to come back.  I am one of those fans.  However, the constant fights between the stans of JYJ and the stans of HoMin do make it difficult.  Not to mention the external pressures (i.e.- other groups mentioning TVXQ in a good or bad way, media, etc) make things quite sensitive and sometimes we just react without thinking.  It's just one thing after another, and it's getting pretty hard to Keep the Faith, huh?  I'm sure some of you are also losing patience and thus either going on hiatus, switching fandoms, or just completely abandoning them altogether.  I can see that in some of the people that I used to spazz with.  It's rather lonely nowadays.  :(  I'm sure most of you fans feel this way too?

But in order to battle this sadness, a fan can always look back on the good old days with some old YouTube clips.  I know it is really hard for us fans to wait this long.  I know I'd love it if this could end very soon.  Imagine how things will be when they do come back together (I'm even more curious on the reaction of the stans on both sides >:D)  All I can say is that I pray that no matter what, you continue to love all five of them and support them until the end.  We wanna see this again, right:

Of course the best thing to do is pray and pray often.  So, let's do that okay?  :3  We gotta try to be the best fans we can be...if not for ourselves then for the members.  Let's just hope that things will get better for everyone very soon.

Dear TVXQ...

Yes, all 5 of you!  How are you feeling?  I just wanted to ask why you are all acting the way you are.  I know that this is a very difficult time.  Especially with the final decision from the court so close.  But don't you think you're acting a bit childish?  Yunho and Changmin want to keep the name alive and JYJ seem to be wanting (and receiving) pity from fans.  It's like you guys are silently pitting yourselves against each other.  And believe me that is something that i never wanted you to do.  There are times when I wonder if it was all for the money.  Or was it something else?  You know that the love of money is the root of all evil, right?  I wish I could tell you all to forget the name TVXQ altogether.  I'd still support you all even if you went solo.  That'd just be more money out of my pocket, lol.  But you don't have to worry about being forgotten.  I'm sure by now that you will NEVER be forgotten in the Kpop industry.  I only really wanted you to sing together as 5 since I missed all chances in the past.  But now I think that I may have been one of the fans that only considered my own wants before yours.  For that I am very sorry.  I wanted you to be happy too.  Fans can be quite picky, huh? 

Salvaged Blog #3!

Okay...with this one, I wrote it like a letter to Changmin.  So, yeah...  ^_^;

I know that this may sound silly, and you have probably heard all this before, but I would like to write this message to you.  I really wish I could send you a real letter, but I don't know the address.  And even if I did, the letter would probably head straight for the trash can or the fireplace.  :3  I see you are really busy these days.  SM is working the living daylights out of you and the other members it seems.  But this is the line of work you like to do, ne?  To be famous....it seems like a lot of responsibility.  I don't think I could handle doing that.  I'd like to be well-known, but not super famous.

Lately, Jungsu-oppa has been referring to himself as a doll.  But he isn't one.  He is human.  It may be true that he is just another pretty face to SM, but he isn't to people that care for him.  Do you think that way too, Changmin-oppa?  There are so many times when I look at pictures of you that you seem so emotionless.  It makes me wonder what you are thinking sometimes.  Aren't there days when you just wish that you could just get away from it all? 

Ne, ne oppa...if it is really you that I am talking to on Myspace, then I am sorry for sending you multiple messages.  It is just that you haven't been online in a long time, and I freaked when you and I were on at the same time.  I just had to send you something.  But now, I realize that there were other fans that also want a reply from you.  Sorry for taking up your time.  I bet that every time you log in, you have hundreds of messages, comments, and friend requests.  And you cannot finish them all.

But it was nice that you responded to me (as short as it was).  I was happy.  You see, I really want to talk to you not on a fan's level, but on a friend's level.  But you may just think of me as just another fan…an American fan....an AFRICAN-AMERICAN fan at that.  *sigh* You see how I put myself down?  I frequently do this sort of thing.

Well, I hope that you and the other members do well.  And I hope to see you one day.  Maybe we can become friends...or you can become my boyfriend!  LOL!  >////<  Please don't ever change how you are now.  Not for anybody.  Don't worry what other people or fans think.  Even if that means the downfall of your career as a singer...remember that I will still be behind you, cheering you on.  Peace out, Changmin-oppa! 

Dear E.L.F.

As an unofficial fan, I can tell that some of you are a bit shaken with the news that was just put out about Hangeng.  I know that everyone wanted SuJu to remain as 13 (or 15 in my case), but I can honestly say that I am very happy for Hangeng.  :D  Like in the letter I wrote for Cassiopeia, don't start fighting because of it.  If all SuJu members go solo, I'd still support them and buy their stuff.  Now THAT would be alot of money~!  But really...with this news, it gave me hope for JYJ and HoMin. 

Ever since I've heard things about artists under SM, it made me wonder how they can be treated that way.  Water diets, strenuous training, etc.  Now before you say that SM should be praised for gettting all their artists that far, I'd have to say I agree with you on that footing.  BUT I honestly do think that they can do well on their own from here on out.  It is just up to us if we are willing to support them at that time or not.  Would you be willing to do that if they all left SM?  I know I would.  Also like I said in the letter to Cassiopeia, even if they have to lose the name, they're always still a member to me. 

A fan did bring up a good thought:  "What will the other members think"?  I hope they take this as a sign that they too can do it and still do well.  Although I am a bit concerned with Teukie because of how his emotions were in the past...  :o  Please don't take this as something bad as well, SuJu~!

Again, I hope that I have not offended anyone.  I am trying to be unbiased (even though it sounds like I am, huh?)  Just like for TVXQ/JYJ and now SuJu...and for all artists facing problems:  ALWAYS KEEEP THE FAITH

Dear Cassiopeia...

For starters...I am an unofficial Cassiopeia from the U.S., so I may be considered "not knowing the truth".  But I'm sure there are a few other fans with similar thoughts to what I am about to express.  I've been wanting to make a post like this for a while now, but I didn't know how I could word it without offending people.  Then I was like: "Aw, what the heck...I'll just go with the flow".

As you all know, TVXQ has gone through an extremely tough times ever since summer of 2009.  It's been a gueling time ever since, huh?  There are times when we've had a total mind meltdown I'm sure.  I've heard there have been lots of arguments on various fansites and whatnot.  Sometimes it gets so bad that it becomes difficult to enjoy the old and new stuff they put out.  Fans seem to be choosing sides as well.  They state that one or the other may be the vicitm.  Well, I would consider all 5 to be victims.  I'm still unaware as to who may be in the wrong.  Heck, maybe all of them are.  It's still not for certain because not much is placed out there for the fans to read.  But if we did have all of the truth laid out, how would we react?  I'm sure that it shouldn't be like this.  How come we can't just follow both groups as if they are still working as one?  Why should we rear our ugly heads and bash members we've been following for over 5 years?  Does this mean you didn't like that member from the get-go?
