At least once a week I thank the Gods for that person who made the three hour Beau and Yasha: The Journey compilation. Thank you, astro edits, for the fuel that made that little spark of intrigue become a roaring obsession and for unwittingly introducing me to the hyperfixation that saved my life this year.

OT6 x STORY by MJ
us in the pictures
pass by like a film for a moment
go back, go back, go back
a note under the break
Disclaimer: this note will talk a bit about Moonbin, his passing a grief. Please stop reading if you need to (:
I have been wanting to make a gifset for Astro since I started listening to them in October of 2022. They happen to be one of the few groups I can pinpoint an approximate date I became a fan. All Night was the truest starting point.
I can’t say that that means I’ve been a fan very long. I spent a few months diving into their discography and my friends & I did a joint cupsleeve event for him & Seungkwan, but since Moonbin’s passing, I have yet to listen to Astro’s group music again. It’s a certain feeling of grief. While he lives on through the art left behind, it fills me with a lot of emotion that I haven’t quite found a place for yet. That said, Story is a song that helped me through that time and, overall, is a song I find a bit comforting on the topic of loss, grief, and distance.
If there’s something to remember about Moonbin, I would say it’s his smile. That for all his name implies, his memory, to me, is one very much like the sun. As the bias of one of my closest friends, I find that Moonbin lives on and is remembered through Aroha, too. I hope he is at peace and I hope everyone can find peace, too.
I wish nothing but the very best for Astro—Rocky included. I wonder a lot of what the future holds for the group, but whatever it may hold, I hope it is kind to them. I hope it holds everything they need it to. I hope there can be bright days and laughter on the road ahead of them. I hope they can look back and remember and miss, but still look forward and run ahead.
Moonbin—I did not “know” you long, but it was a enough to know how bright and brilliant you shined. Thank you for the art you shared and the impact you made, big or small, on the people here. I hope you are at peace and resting well; I am nothing but grateful for finding Astro when I did. Thank you for being a part of that.
