Would Anyone Like A Ready For Love LE/Badge?

Hello! So, as we all know by now, Ready For Love came out, and she bopped. She bopped hard, and more importantly (for this anyway), she looks stunning. Like seriously, it looks great. Anyway, the whole forum knows how much I love this song and the music video by now. I was thinking about potentially trying to get it an LE or two but wanted to check in with you guys first. This should be a fandom wide, agreed-upon consensus, so I wanted to talk to you about it first and see what you thought. We'll probably do the most popular choice.

Below, I'll discuss what I consider to be our main options, what they would look like and the pros and cons of each one. Please read everything entirely and very thoroughly before voting for anything. When I described what each option would look like, I tried to remain as neutral and unbiased as I could. For the pros and cons, I tried to keep them balanced on each option and not take any side clearly, but still explain why each choice could be a good or bad decision. I want you to make an informed decision that you think would be the best for everyone, as well as which option you would personally prefer. The options are ranked in order from most to least expensive in terms of how many akorns it would cost to buy/set up. Option 1 is the most expensive, while option 4 is free.

So, after reading all of these, and weighing the pros and cons that will come with each one, consider which option you think would be best and vote in the poll. Don't be afraid to say what you honestly think, and I promise I won't judge you for it, no matter what. If anything, I'm kind of torn on which option would be best myself, so it's also okay if you don't know too. If I missed any potential pros or cons for any of the options, described something wrong or missed an option entirely, please let me know so I can update the post.

Also, as a quick reminder, if options one to three win, and you do not love the song, as much as your support would be appreciated, please do not feel as if you are in any way obligated to do so. Your akorns are yours to do with as you please. This reminder isn't meant to discourage you from buying any LE's, much less ones that you actually want, but just to let you know that it's not an obligation and you are no less of a fan if you either don't or can't. Be respectful and have a great day/night!

Sorry for such a long post, but I wanted it to be through. Also, can someone post one of the Blink taglists? I want all of the Blinks to be aware of this decision, so they can all have an equal say in it and we can do what will make the most people happy. If you have any questions, I may not know everything, but I'll answer as much as I can.

Hmm...we run into a problem doing this. Since we're already doing an LE badge event for their August comeback, we can't do a LE badge event for this event yet since Ready for Love MV (barely) released in July. Per this rule:

"Please note that events in consecutive months will not be allowed for the same group, as a courtesy to other fandoms"

So if there is an event for an LE Badge commission, it will have to wait until September to actually start. So I'm thinking what we could do is host an album badge petition for now and when the time comes we can go ahead and get an LE badge commission

Oh, I forgot about that rule! Wait, does that mean that Solo breaks that rule, or is it okay since it was a solo song? Just curious. Either way, that rule is good to know, thanks for letting me know.

That sounds like a plan to me. I'll wait until we get more opinions on the matter though before I make any hasty decisions.

Quote from Rainbowlicious

No worries! And nope, it doesn't. It's only the events that want to be petitioned for that took place in consecutive months. So like I wanted to do Celebration MV (July) Twice but also the August comeback for them but I saw that I was unable to since both events took place within the same two months overall, I chose Between 1&2 because it would pretty much take prominence among everyone over the JP music video. But if you wanted to petition for an older artist's come back at the same time you petition for a newer one, you could for sure do that.

Okay! I just wanted to let you know just in case

I see. That makes a lot of sense then, thanks for explaining it so well.

Thanks!

Quote from kittykitka

Option 2 seems like the best option

Yay! I’m on board with that.

Quote from bunnyviolet

Rainbowlicious  YouChanDoThis sorry I skimmed through a bit of this but I want to clarify:

• SOLO DOES NOT BREAK THE RULE - Solo releases and subunit releases are treated as separate from group releases. This is why NCTzens have petitioned for multiple badges at a close time for example (such as Taeyong and Jaehyun solos at the same time, etc.)
  
  But if they tried to petition for nct 127 two months in a row, that wouldn't work.
• You can't petition for a short length badge - When you petition for a short length badge, it will be an individual member badge focusing on one member. In this case, you'd have to have 5 signups each for Lisa, Jisoo, Rose, and Lisa.
  
  There is a loophole in that for solo artist comeback, you could do an individual of it or a full length. Since a solo artist release has only one member, you would only need one signup for that artist. As opposed to a group release that has multiple members. If that makes sense.
  
  That's why say Chungha for example is able to get a short length. If this was an I.O.I release though, you'd have to worry not just about Chungha, but the other members as well.

I see what you mean. I also didn’t know that solo and subunit releases worked like that, but that makes sense. Good to know.

I see. Also good to know. We’d need to think about that for sure. Thanks for correcting me!

Man screw rules this is blackpink we are talking about.

Ripia’s got the spirit!

Quote from Jichu

I'll pass tbh I prefer badges with real humans in em

COMPLETELY understandable, no worries! Thanks for your input!

Quote from bunnyviolet

Yes that's why I think if you were to go for an LE of this, you'd have an easier time with a full length badge. If you tried individual length, you'd need to get 5 signups each FOR ALL MEMBERS.

So I'd axe the second option completely. Unless you're interested in including individual member signups with the full length badge perhaps.

I think we could do that relatively easily. The Blink fandom is huge after all.

I'd be interested in that. Let me update the OP with that information then.

Okay, I updated the OP to account for this new information. Feel free to vote again now if you think it'll impact your decision.

kittykitka

Two things:

1) Taglist please (if appropiate)?

I don't know which one to use or how to use it. Plus, I'm lazy.

2) Bunny said that petitioning for the shorter length badges and doing the second option would only be possible if we did it for all four members. Are you on board with doing that, or would that change your vote to one of the other options?

Quote from bunnyviolet

also YouChanDoThis your edits didn't save in the op.

Fudge. I'll try again.

The edits were there, but they blended in. I put them in the spoilers and bolded them now, so we should be good.

Quote from monalisalove

Oh, option 2 bc their cb is super near and i need akorns for it kkkkk

Okay, I can get behind that. Let's do it if there's even more support for it.

Quote from atropos

If it's a full badge I don't think I'll be able to afford it.......

It will be a lot of akorns...

However, me and Kitty can help!

Quote from kittykitka

I saw the skz petition had a badge for freeze ?

Maybe we can do something like that 🤔

Yep, that would be good if we can.

Quote from monalisalove

I would love to have this RFL badges, the aesthetic is insanely pretty.

It really is!

Quote from bunnyviolet

sorry for nagging, in the second option, can you change the title spoiler to make it clear these are member badges? people will see short length and immediately think it's a short length badge of the full MV when that's not happening.

Just title it individual member badges or something idk

YouChanDoThis

Oh, I can do that. It's not nagging at all, don't worry about it!

Edit: Fixed it!

Quote from Water_oWl

I wouldn't purchase it, but as long as it doesn't postpone the actual comeback badge I don't mind

It wouldn't. There would be no way to do that, and even if there was, I would not resort to that.

Quote from kittykitka

Maybe that would be a good option 🤔

YouChanDoThis

Get 10 sign-ups and we can do this 👀

Okay! Let me see what I can do!
