Details In Blue

reqst: kageyama x jungkook

I’m not the anon from before but when I read e.g. Jungkook fics, I imagine a guy that has some of Jungkook’s characteristics (mostly facial ones) but also of course has a completely different personality than him.

When I was younger that fcked me up a little cause my brain started associating e.g. Jungkook’s face with the awesome characters I was reading about and although I had a crush on the characters, my brain just looked at actual Jungkook and went like “oh yeah that’s my crush”. I think it can really fck with your brain because you then start to get very emotionally dependent on the idol and think of them as your actual crush, you get sad when you realise you may never meet them irl etc. Someone could even end up becoming depressed or paranoid about it.

What helped me was realising that I had NO IDEA what idol Jungkook’s personality is like behind the stage. I DID NOT know him and definitely DID NOT spend any time or scenario I’ve read about with him. Realising he could be completely different from the characters in fiction eventually made me understand I didn’t have a crush on him, but on the characters personality (combined with some of Jungkook’s features).

Just wanted to share that in case someone is in the same situation I was in. Especially now that so many ppl were in quarantine and didn’t spend a lot of time socialising, turning to fanfiction and reading in general was more common and could make them invest emotionally into the idea of someone that is not real and they haven’t met yet. Sorry for the rant, it’s just that knowing where fiction stops and real life starts is really important!

Thank you for this!! I definitely feel like it’s important to talk about it. Every once in a while it’s nice to seat back and remind yourself that everything you’re reading is fiction, no writer here knows the boys personally, and this is a character! It seems pretty obvious for some people, but I’ve been there for a little while too and I think it’s easy to get absorbed in it, especially if you’re especially vulnerable at that time. In the end of the day, it’s just characters who happen to share the same name/mental image of an idol 🥰
