I just want to write a little appreciation post for the Beanie community today. <3 I grew up very sheltered and got into K-pop/dramas in college, so I’ve always been pretty out-of-the-loop in terms of American pop culture, despite being American myself. This week – being someone who’s never really gotten into Game of Thrones or Marvel movies – that sense of… uninvolvement?… has been stronger than usual. So I’m especially grateful to have a place where I can come and be somewhat in-the-loop, and talk to people who are experiencing the same fiction-related emotions I am. Here’s to those of us who currently have shattered hearts from Psychometric, find inspiration and hope from Haechi, squee over Her Private Life, are excited about Nokdu Flower, and/or just enjoy having this community to talk to when very few others in our lives have any idea what we’re talking about.
