#also lmk if i'm wrong about anything i don't actually try to keep track of this stuff i just accumulate information

[commajade]

hi ! this is a genuine question, i love ur blog and i wanted ur opinion on this (it's hard to convey tone on the internet ;_;). i was wondering why mamamoo are always considered "the racist group", even tho most popular groups have done problematic and downright racist things in the past ? like i totally understand not being able to forgive and forget and that's an individual choice to make - but following that logic, shouldnt exo/nct/red velvet and other popular groups also be unforgiveable for their various actions (the dreadlocks, the whole nct make a wish mv, wendy being antiblack etc) ? i feel like there is so much racism and specifically antiblackness happening in so many groups (especially their companies tbh but you know) that either you stop listening to half of them or recognize that they're all going to make mistakes and they can hopefully learn and grow from them. but maybe im missing something completely ?? sorry for the long message, thanks in advance, u always give good explanations 👌

i dropped them a while ago and also haven't rly been in kpop fan spaces until last year so i have limited info but here's my answer:

-mamamoo is the only group to have become one of the top girl groups directly after doing their most racist shit like they were making amazing jazzy songs that didn't flop but being racist and then switching to hip hop catapulted them to the top

-hwasa especially has absolutely no shame and does huge acts of ca on a regular basis like her african looking outfit on i live alone and a pocahontas costume for halloween like a month later and then maria with the durags around that time too it's a promotional tactic that works

-anon there's degrees to this shit i think no one else relevant besides certain suju members have done straight up blackface. and wasn't it a bruno mars cover? he's not even black?

-make a wish was actually fairly mild? i think? correct me if i'm wrong

-kai is complicated cuz he's more rural korean and has naturally darker skin and he has antiblackness projected into him that he's perpetuating like i still dislike him for it but he was already wildly popular it's not the same as purposefully becoming racist skyrocketing ur career

-i don't claim wendy and no one else has done anything besides joy but that ones complicated too cuz it's that she chose to work with the wrong ppl on jeju island but anyway bong joon ho was right

the entire kpop industry is exactly as racist as the entire US pop industry and every other pop industry it rly does get hard to establish lines and boundaries about racism because antiblackness is inherent to modern society/life and when u try to trace it back it never ends but ALSO there's degrees to this shit and mamamoo r among the worst. so r bts.

i. make the most of it

"what will i do when you're both gone? jennie just left and you two are next!" you pout in your train seat as your best friends exchange teasing smiles. as you get closer and closer to hogwarts, you can't help but keep thinking about rose and lisa inevitably graduating this year.

"i don't know y/n, maybe find some friends your age?" lisa teases. you groan outwardly, tilting your head back.

rose, the ever-exemplary hufflepuff, extends her hands out to yours on the table and grabs hold of them. you stop your obnoxious groaning to stare back at her kind smile. "lili has a point, y/nie. it wouldn't hurt to branch out this year so that lisa and i don't have to worry about you."

your eyes widened. "worry?! what's that supposed to mean?"

rose lets go of your hands to cover her mouth as she laughs while lisa is losing it. the gryffindor 7th year is wiping joyful tears out of her eyes, which isn't helping your case.

you sit, pouting once again and waiting for them to explain.

"two words, y/n," lisa begins while holding two fingers up in a peace sign that you know is anything but peaceful. "you're. clumsy."

"am not!" you defied. your best friends exchange looks once again before raising an eyebrow at you. "tell me one time when i was clumsy!"

"remember that time you tried to shut a mandrake up by putting your hand on its mouth and then it bit you?" rose asks.

"oh! that was so funny!" lisa says, trying to hold back her laughter. "my favorite is when she made a lizard instead of a mini dragon in transfiguration but then it burned her eyebrows off!"

as they share your most embarrassing moments, your ears begin heating up and all you want to do is transfigure yourself into the train seat.

"i stand corrected..." you mumble out unwillingly.

"we love you, y/nie. we only want someone to look out for you when we graduate," rose says as lisa nods.

"fine, fine. i get it, moms."

"you love us."

"yea, yea, i love my two moms who come after my clumsiness all the time."

"as you should, now let's get changing. the train is almost at school."

the older hufflepuff was right. you could see the tall towers of the second home you've come to love in the distance as you glance out the window. this year may be bittersweet since the last of your friend group would be leaving you behind, but you were determined to make the most of it with them and perhaps make some new friends this year.

"i'll stay to keep our spot, you two go ahead," lisa tells you and rose.

"going to text your joonie?" rose teases. the gryffindor's ears have a red tinge at the sound of her nickname for her boyfriend.

"just go before the changing rooms fill up," she mumbles. but as you close the door to your shared booth, you can see that she has already pulled out her phone with a cheeky smile as she waves hi on facetime with namjoon who is slightly older than her and currently working as a magizoologist for the ministry.

you smile to yourself, remembering their relationship when you were just a first year. "come on, yn!" rose calls out.

you break out of your daze and see her several feet away from you. "sorry, eonnie!"

you take your hand off the handle, which you didn't register it was still on, and start to move towards her, carrying your blouse, tie and skirt. before you could reach her, you bump into a hard chest.

you hear a deep oof noise from the figure as you rub your forehead.

"i am so sorry!" you hurriedly whisper.

"you're alright, y/n." you recognize the voice and look up to see sim jaeyun from your house and year. "did you hit your head too hard?" he kindly worries.

"i—"

"yn!!" rose shouts.

"sorry, jaeyun," you apologetically smile as you brush past him. "coming, eonnie!!"

you could've sworn he said something like it was nice to see you, but you were far too focused on not letting rose wait any long. she's definitely amicable like most hufflepuffs, but like most hufflepuffs, you probably don't want to see them angry. you should know since lisa says you're already bad hangry.

it's a quick in and out of the changing room and back to your booth where lalisa waits, staring out the window and watching the castle come closer. it's like a wrestler tag team as you and rose high-five her on your way in and her way out. immediately, the two of you settle down and as you get comfortable in your seat, you notice that she's smirking with you, her eyebrow raised.

"why are you looking at me like that, eonnie?" you ask hesitantly. your fingers look more interesting picking fights with each other.

"oh, nothing," she replies, not giving up her smirk. "just wondering when you and jake were close."

"he's literally the same year and house as me. i can't go a year without a class with him."

she hums like she doesn't believe you. "really?"

"really, really."

"really, really, really?" you groan at her response as she starts to giggle.

"do you wanna talk about your crush on jeon jungkook then, eonnie?" she shuts up then and there, and it's your turn to smirk. "thought so."

"that's hogwarts' idol right there, yn. everyone likes him one way or another, so hush!"

"hush about what?" lisa asks as she slides the door open.

"nothi—"

"jeon jungkook." rose glares at you.

"ohh, rosie's crush of 6 years?" your other friend confirms as she closes the door.

"the one and only."

"you know, he and i are co-captains this year for quidditch. you should just come to our practices."

"will he even notice me? i mean..." your focus on their conversation starts to waver as you glance through the door window. outside your door is the familiar trolley witch with all her pastries and drinks, and you can't help but have a craving for your favorite chocolate frogs. you also can't help but notice the other figure with the trolley witch: the very same sim jaeyun you bumped into earlier.

"eonnies, i'm going to buy some chocolate frogs. do you want any?" you ask, keeping an eye on the figures outside your window.

"cauldron cake for me please!"

"let's have every flavor beans for old time's sakes!"

"alright," you say as you slide the door open and close. they go back to their conversation about a plot to get the hogwarts idol that you're sure is bound to go wrong.

"7 blood lollipops please." you hear jake order. you recall him having a large group of friends across different houses and different years, but for all of them to like blood lollipops is quite unheard of.

"you're not going to have all of those, are you?" you ask him, approaching the trolley.

"y/n," he greets with a smile and a shake of his head as he hands his coins to the witch. "no, my friends and i all really like them. i think i would have a headache if i were to eat all 7."

"2 chocolate frogs, bertie's beans, and a cauldron cake please," you order before turning back to him. "does it really taste like blood, or is it just to trick people into thinking you're vampires?"

jake's face pales though it's hard to see because he's already on the pale side and you're counting out your coins to give to the trolley witch. "personally, i think it tastes like cherry."

you hum as you gather your goodies together, and jake is thankful that you're not paying too much attention to how he reacted. "i'll take your word for it."

the trolley witch moves along, doing what she's done for many years and more to come. you're finally focusing on him more now that you have all your snacks and accomplished being a good citizen by paying the fees. your eyes search his face, go past his sharp jawline, and make their way to the shiny prefect badge on his black and gold robes. the prefect engraving is hard to see against the blinding gold of the hufflepuff badge, but it's hard to miss.

"oh, are you a prefect?" you ask curiously.

"yup, so don't stay out too late. i might have to write you up," he teases.

you playfully roll your eyes at him. "please, when am i not a model student?"

"i would say right now because we're about five minutes away from the castle, and you still don't have your robes on, miss l/n," he jokingly tsks at you.

"ahh, but you see, that's not my fault there, mr. prefect," you banter back.

"oh? then maybe i won't have to give you the first detention?"

"well, mr. sim, i was only taking care of my precious eonnies and buying them snacks. i paid my fees and also engaged in conversation with my fellow classmate, so i've been a little preoccupied," you acted out, playing the role of an innocent student.

"hmm.. engaging in conversation with your classmates on the first day does seem to follow the rules," he lightheartedly agrees. jake is about to add more, but his friends call out to him.

"hey, jake, what's taking so long?!"

"you'd better go take care of your friends, mr. sim," you tease. "be a good hyung, won't you?"

his beaming smile causes your heart to skip a few beats. "alright, miss l/n, but make sure not to let me catch you out of uniform." he waves before hurrying to his own booth.

when you open the door to yours, a chorus of oooh's from your eonnies is what you receive. you roll your eyes at them before shutting the door and grabbing your robe. you can see theirs were already on, the equally shining, gold head girl badge pinned on rose's robe.

"i think she'll be just fine on our own when we're gone, rosie," lisa teases as you slip your arms through your sleeves and tuck your wand in your pocket.

"just don't keep one of my prefects distracted, y/nie," rosie adds.

"so long as you aren't distracted by your head boy, rosie," you tease back.

"no way, jeon jungkook is head boy," she gasps at you.

"i don't know, but i just caught you simping in 4k!" you stick your tongue out at her as she whines and lalisa throws her head back in laughter.

"there really is only one choice though, so it probably is him," lisa affirms.

"i swear, if you two are wrong..." rose pouts.

"but if we're not, you'll get to spend more time with him and get to know him instead of just admiring him from afar like everyone else!" you console.

"well, we'll find out soon enough. we're here," lisa announces as she grabs her trunk from the top rack, helping you get yours and rose hers.

"thanks, eonnie! so glad your long legs are so useful!" you thank.

"yah! they'll be useful for kicking you too, ungrateful brat," she jokingly chastises.

"oh no, lisa eonnie is going to kill me!" you shout dramatically. "rose eonnie, save me!"

"it's going to be a long year," she sighs with a smile keeping close behind as you run off the train and lisa chases after you.

jake's expression mirrors rose's as he watches the trio run off to the nearest carriage. a crack forms in his blood lollipop as he sucks on it harder, the sweet taste of blood running across his tongue. "hyung, come on. let's get in the carriage," jungwon calls to him, his own sucker making his words slightly muddled.

"coming," he mumbles, securing his trunk and stepping into the carriage where his 6 friends wait for him.

their fangs are dripping with the blood of the lollipops.

oh shiz this is so late but ayyyy ma i made it!! i'm theia (21+, she/her) and i'm bringin' in miss ok it is what it is chaewon, secret half-daughter of the heir of haru pharmaceuticals ooOoOooOOo ~~scandalous~~

bio is here (warning: atrocious writing) and below are some tidbits and potential plots??? hit me with a like on this post if you're dtp (aka down to plot) and i'll slide in your dms with a meme or something idk alternatively, i'm available on discord so lmk if that's your preferred method of communication! v excited to be here! v v nervous because i haven't written aNYTHING for a hot minute!! thank u for the nice, y'all!!

miss ok chaewon, 24, leo sun but don't go thinkin' she thinks she's hot shit coz..... she thinks she's "alright i guess... it's whatever"

has known only one parent (mother) up until halfway through high school when she discovers the identity of her biological dad and like doesn't turn upside down fresh prince style like she initially assumed it did

googles her dad ( as anyone would ), finds out he's RICH rich, quizzes momma about who her dad is/how they met/what he's like/why they're not together anymore/does he know she exists

answers: ok joonho ( like it says on your birth certificate, duh! )/at a bar/charming - at least on the surface, the type of guy that everyone assumes can do no wrong/he was married at the time tbh soooo it wasn't gonna go anywhere realistically/.....yeah

she takes an interest in the sciences and all that post-discovery of daddio, which surprises everyone b/c she definitely looked like she was headed towards the arts but like fast forward and she's halfway through uni and a bachelor's in pharmaceutical science

( really it's a subconscious way of earning daddio's approval - them good ol' daddy issues, u feel? )

through outrageous struggles and hard work ( i.e. asking momma for her dad's number that she's surprisingly kept aND he's never changed it either? tf? ) gets in contact with daddio, secret underground ( i.e. a study café that has those private rooms for studying ) meeting is arranged to discuss ~everything~

daddio tells her she can't say a WORD about being his daughter which seems kinda sus but also she's gonna get a hush-hush allowance and a free job at the company ( so she, a) keeps quiet, and b) joonho can keep an eye on her ) so who's really winning? answer: chaewon

cut to present day: she's halfway through her masters, now a R&D manager at haru, living her best, normal, average life!!

personality wise: she's pretty much indifferent about everything, the type to just shrug her shoulders and say 'meh' to good shit that happens, bad shit that happens, and just any kind of shit that happens; also crazy determined though, as seen in tracking down daddio, grinding through a masters degree she second-guesses every other week; kinda judgemental soz; very independent and doesn't want any help ( except that free money wired to her every month..... that can stay ); honestly a really good friend if you stick around long enough for her to like you! the type to quietly take notice of small details you might mention and then all of a sudden you're getting that shirt you said you wanted in passing one thursday last year in april; carefree in the sense that she'll do whatever she wants when she feels like it, e.g. drink at lunchtime, sleep with that dude, read that one book, wear that one shirt to work that's not exactly appropriate

potential plots/connections!!!!

people that hang out with her to try and find out where all her money comes from

people that hang out with her despite not knowing where the money comes from

one night stands &/or + ~feelings~

people that don't like her coz she looks too "plain" to have an iota of wealth

people she has to avoid because they're getting too close to the truth and they're actually smart enough to put two and two together and realise.... "your last name is ok...... his last name is ok...... inch resting....."

drinking pals / smoking pals / pals in general

someone who hates/likes her for some reason??

someone who's like this meme every time they're with chaewon coz she might've actually spilled the tea about daddio one time when she was drunk and you're a surprisingly good person who hasn't said a word about it but you also don't know if she realises she said something and you don't want her to freak out but also that's a BIG deal and you're about to burst??

idk i'm really bad at these i'm so sorry
