hot take but while i get joost being upset about people posting his old stuff and bothering him, it's not like he is the first or last that this is happening to. i know that with kpop and the world post-covid things have gotten worse fandom-wise, but there have always been groupies and weirdos. him just saying "please stop" will definitely not make them stop. the people who are decent feel guilty but the people who aren't will just keep doing their thing. imo the only thing he can do is limit his social media consumption and stop being so personal in his live shows. i know he probably says it with his heart, but saying stuff like "i love you" and being extremely personal doesn't help. i've been noticing his behaviours in lives and treating them like some sort of alternative therapy isn't the solution. random strangers won't start being kinder to him just because he said so and he shouldn't expect this to happen either.

ngl i don't understand whats so wrong about asking people to listen to the album? u dont have to go to extremes and leave a playlist on all night like they do on twitter but i would think if you're a fan, you'd want to listen? we wouldnt have to beg people to support JITB... cause honestly i dont think they'll have this energy for anyone else in the group so its just disappointing im sorry i'll stay petty
ig a lot of people are against streaming because they find it stressful and also streaming does at times really makes us not enjoy the song, it starts feeling like a job instead of enjoying your fav so i get their pov, they aren’t saying that they aren’t listening to the work, they just don’t stream which is fine, to each their own, though i don’t think it’s right for them to shame people who do stream; like i said before let’s respect each other’s choices
but yeah there are tons of people who do stream actively but didn’t stream jitb, they upload top 20 songs being streamed by armies daily on twitter and only 2-3 days back did more started appearing on the list, that too on the number 20 and 19 :// like you said, streaming is pretty easy, just put on a playlist while you’re busy doing something else/aren’t on your phone, and yet people completely refused to stream jitb, all the hobi accounts that i follow on twitter had been begging people to stream jitb since the mama nominations were announced, and yet they were completely silenced and labelled as solos :/ it’s really sad 😞

it’s just i spend so much time sharing little things about myself in the hopes that it sparks a connection with people and also i guess that maybe sometimes people will think of me yk. to feel like i exist outside of my own head. i dont think this is a bad thing it’s just where im at it’s a natural want for connection and it like. works for me. and i also dont think it’s bad to have the friends i do that are like ‘surface level’ yk. i still appreciate them and love them. it’s just, this is where im at, desperately clawing in different spaces in my life to be known even tho it’s embarrassing lol. and it just sucks that i never had to try to with her. not only did we have this extremely insane chemistry right off the bat, she’s someone that in like every way has made it seem like she actively wants to know me. beyond just the polite and whatever kind of level. and it’s like, of course that feels absolutely amazing given ive been pining since day 1 but also i just like her a lot as a person. you know. and it all sucks and makes me wanna combust sometimes that things aren’t the way i’d like them to be between us of course lmfao but i also think she’s an incredible person and she’s managed to make me feel so safe and calm and simultaneously obviously fucking crazy and energized and whatever. u know. whatever my point is here im gonna be done now <3

how does rafe react to girls hitting on him while he's in relationship with reader? i feel like he hates it lol
Well, it’s a known fact that Rafe had countless hookups before you two first met and started dating. He was popular and he never complained about getting to much attention. But since you appeared on his radar, he was not interested in anyone besides you.
You see, Rafe is completely crazy about you, so he made sure everyone on the island knew you were his and he was yours. Too much PDA, you with him on any party or celebration, your photos in his IG and on his lockscreen, not to mention that he was talking about you at any opportunity. Like there were no chances that these girls didn’t know that he was with you when they were openly flirting and throwing themselves at him.
For some reason, it just makes him angry and agitated when they were all touchy and flirty, as if they even have a chance to begin with.
Rafe’s not particularly rude with them; he’s just indifferent and he always fights the urge to roll his eyes and just silently walk away. They were not you. Not the most perfect woman in the world, aka the only person whom he loved so much that sometimes it became overwhelming.
Also, he loooves kissing you in front of everyone or just shamelessly gripping your ass, while he knows damn well that people look at you two. Or when you behave equally possessive over him, it makes him almost puff his chest, knowing that you mark your territory around others. He’s so proud to be yours.
On some occasions, when you leave him for some time to chat with your friends and another girl comes up to him and starts getting too close, he might even snap at her and tell her to fuck off. Rafe hates not being around you; he hates just the thought that you may assume that he initiated any contact with other women, so he just goes to find you in the crowd and doesn’t leave you for a whole night.
When it happens, Rafe tells you that someone was trying to talk to him and the pout on his face and the way he becomes clingy with you always make you grin. Maybe everyone wanted him, but you knew that you had nothing to worry about when he looked at you with heart eyes and treated you like you were his everything.
