hello everyone! this may be long, but please bear with me.
i'm sure this will disappoint many of you, but i'm drawing a close to the infinite stars journey i have taken and will not be continuing with sea of treasure. this isn't because i don't have any plans for the second book (in fact, I will be transforming my plans for the second book into a different fanfiction altogether) but it is because i have come to the hard decision to stop writing for BTS altogether.
while i will always hold the tannies in a fond regard as apart of my childhood and growing up, and will still appreciate a lot of their music and resonate with it, i just cannot find it within me to continue writing for them as their recent choices and decision in handling recent events have disappointed me all too greatly.
i haven't stood with the fandom, or their actions for a long time, but was able to stick it out because i had admired bts for so long. the reason I haven't made this decision earlier was because i had thought that the book was fiction, and that was enough to continue forward with the story i had envisioned, but upon reflection i had realized that was not enough incentive to continue writing for a group who has turned against so many of their morals and traits that led to my fierce admiration in the first place. so i cannot, with good conscience, continue to write for them anymore.
i ask that you please understand my decision and continue supporting my other works, which will now be mainly posted on tumblr and ao3. and if you are interested in this storyline, i will be doing a similar one that's going to be more revolved around ateez on ao3 and tumblr. thank you and goodbye! hope to see you on my other accounts soon!!

@maplecornia well I respect your decision, no hard feelings We all hv different views

@BTSislifelineforever this is the last thing i will say on this but what's happening to palestine is not simply a war between two countries, it is quite literally a genocide in which the palestinian people are the victims. this is why i think it is so important for celebrities with influence to speak up for them as they can influence many people to donate to families in need. plus other idols have spoken up and nothing has happened to them, so therefore i know it would not give them or their company a bad look, especially since the majority of the korean public is in support of palestine themselves. i ask that you and many other's do more research on this conflict to further understand just why i am so disappointed that the group who is probably one of the most powerful and influential groups out there cannot do something simple like post a gfm or speak up for the palestinian people but have no problem taking collaborations with zionist brands and being very vocal about supporting them. yes, it is their choice to speak up but personally i do not respect their choice to stay silent and instead choose to blatantly endorse zionist brands. that is why i am not going to write for them anymore, because that would be going against my morals and i will not do that.

Ooo I do not follow news and media update .... so I was kinda clueless so thx to both of u
I am not saying that I do not agree with u both but whatever they ( BTS ) would be judged no matter what they do every now and then so... It's more like their choice to support Palestine as well as israel , BTS might also be bonded or like hv certain contract periods with the brands which they cannot break before the time period uk
Not saying it is good or bad but this is like our pov we don't know their's , do we ? It's totally your choice on who u support , about the breast cancer event ya it did look like a party going on so that is something questionable but they apologized for the same too
Everyone has flaws uk , I am not saying what BTS is doing or not speaking about something crucial is good but the coin always has two sides , they r humans too like us all , aren't they ?
We all make mistakes intentionally or unintentionally
Yes BTS has raised their voices about many big issues in the past for which we r all grateful but I don't personally think it is good for them to speak about two different nations at war , it may affect them , their company and in general everything they hv built from scratch and the general k-pop industry practice and discourages their idols to speak about any political related issues
Taking sides with one of the nation's in war can prove fatal for them and their company too
So ya this is my opinion about all this , not everyone agrees and it's fine we all hv our own views and opinions
But k-pop industry is brutal ,one mistake and u are gone , they burn u down to ashes , no one would want to wish this , it would be good if they spoke about this but it's totally THEIR choice , it's survival of the fittest
And again Thx for filling me in with the info
Stay healthy and safe
