the spring festival should be a time of reunion and warmth, but in 2020, the virus upended everything.

the trending searches on weibo are usually filled with celebrity gossip and random viral videos, but for the past month, the trends have been the number of virus cases in various cities, and today, the death of a doctor.

(there are some comic relief, like the dramatic way a village mayor threatened everyone to stay home, or everyone editing face masks onto their profile pictures, or showing how how bored people can get from being in self-quarantine, but they’re not so funny when you think about the reasons)

fangirling feels frivolous during this time, but…

C-army comments to tae’s newest twitter video:

this is the reason why I fangirl. the society where we live in now is like a demonic hell, but what they bring to me is the sun, is hope

27 seconds, every frame is a precious fragment that is saving me and he connected it into 27 seconds. the 27 seconds that smoothed the negative thoughts in my mind and healed me

i was just crying because of dr. li wenliang. it’s really healing to see this video now

i really survived being home during this period because of the kids. all my touched feelings come from the people working at the front line, but all my happiness comes from them

i’ve been looking at the trending topics for hours and my heart hurts so badly. but when i clicked open them (bts), i feel like i came back to life

it’s just that you feel comforted when you see them. it’s just a little bit of comfort, but it accumulates into a bit of happiness

this is the spring festival where i cried the most

especially after seeing the dark side of humanity, i really feel that bts is some of the few good things in my heart

i’ve been feeling so down during this period. so many bad things have happened, i stay home and can’t say anything or find anything to do. the few times i can go outside, there’s no one on the streets and barely any stores are open. it feels like the end. they’re my only psychological nutrition

BUT IN OTHER NEWS

even though delivery from korea is getting delayed and no one knows what’s going on, C-army are breaking records with album sales again

the fansites are even crazier with their gifts this year (i wrote about the gifts for persona last year somewhere on this blog)

i can’t wait for the comeback T_T
