ive been an atiny for so many years now, but i never took the time to follow, understand, and appreciate the lore 

since my bf introduced me to kpop in like late 2017? i started by listening to what he used to listen at that time, and it was super super cool  it took me one year or so to start listening to different artists “on my own” heehee and ateez was one of those!

their songs and first albums did really catch my attention by then  

the thing is my brain actually was dedicated to like 30% nct, 67% johnny, and 3% anything else hahahah  

so being a fervent nctzen + being new to kpop as a whole, i had no clue about ateez lore  and when i found out about it, it felt so overwhelming, so i just decided to stick to their music and /them/ as incredibly inspiring artists and, to what i feel, incredibly inspiring people.

WHICH WAS NICE! I HAVE NO REGRETS UEUEUE I LOVE THEM SO MUCH  

BUT TODAY IS A NEW DAY!!! AND THEIR NEXT COMEBACK IS IN A FEW DAYS!! AND! I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! I WANT THE LORE!!!!  

i know it’s HUGE, but from the crumbs i have already, i also know how INTERESTING it is!!

so my very next lil fan project is to create some sort of mind map as i deep dive into the lore
ive gathered tons of vids, articles, fan websites, album and booklet scans, and all already! in order to find as much info as possible, and find my own personal way to understand it all.

im so fucking happy knowing atiny have been having fun with it for so long now ueueue and i feel so grateful to those who were able to share their stories, resources, theories, and such. i would certainly not be able to do and enjoy such a thing right now without them all  

okay so.

let’s get started!!

and as one once said: THE TIME IS NOW!!!

FIXXX ONNN
