I just wanted to leave you a little comment.
It was unlike any of the other KTFs, as they all are, in their own way.
But this was really special, I swear.
You have such a knack for this.
Your stories always make me

I love this ktf. Your uniqueness never ceases to amaze.
It’s a body.
It’s all one huge body.
Each part of it living on its own, yet in harmony with every other part, forming organs and a healthy, alive body.
The brain (in this case, five men, five leaders) steers the actions of the body. It makes sure every part does what it was destined to do.
It makes sure every single atom in the body is okay.
One day, I am going to have to steal your brain. How do you come up with all these ideas? All so different, all so unique, and yet all so fantastic???
It's like it's a different spin on the idea that a band, that their fans, are part of a community, all together and united--now they're all one living being, all being controlled, even just watched over by the brain. I especially like the last line of that section, because it makes the brain, as such, appear less of a thinking machine, less of a controller than an emotional organism, trying so hard to look after everything and everyone in that which it controls. Gives it a nice, effortless link into the real world.
Diseases are easily killed, the bond of the atoms being stronger than the bacteria. Of course, every once in a while, rumours and lies make the body catch a cold, but it leaves in no time.
It's nice, how you keep the main theme linked to just the human body, how it works, how it overcomes, but it's the little things you say that remind us about reality, and the links between the two; the body doesn't suffer from rumours and reality doesn't suffer, externally, at least, from internal bacteria...or perhaps the whole idea is that it holds another layer of figurativism, and the way that you can only know how the bacteria of rumours when you exist inside the body, and are forced to be controlled by whatever disease takes a hold of the brain. Otherwise, we're just external bystanders who may never even see a difference, let alone understand it.
But even the strongest bodies sometimes hit rock bottom.
Cancer cells enter, slowly killing all the regular cells. The body goes into defensive mode, using all its energy to kill the bad cells. But they’re too strong and multiply too quickly.
The body’s struggle dies down, it’s too worn out to continue its hopeless battle.
The cancer cells eat their way through the body, disabling everything.
I feel sorry for the body
It's like, even the strongest groups of fans, even the most faithful, can be knocked down by a few cancerous disbelievers. Even all the faith in the world isn't enough to fight them back. And while the body suffers, the brain is also affected by the pain. Without the body, the brain is nothing. Without the brain, the body is empty. If one fails, they all fail.
But then it all goes happy again! Go KTF cells!^_^
The cancer cells take their teeth off the brain, turning to the new cells. They always enjoyed a rougher battle.
What the disease doesn’t know, is that these cells were defined, were made to battle evil cells like them.
Ah, it's such a perfect ending Just when you think the entire body is going to collapse and fail and succumb to the cancer, an entire army of believer, of true fans come to save the day, to give the body and the brain the knowledge that people are there to help them, that there are still fans there, willing to battle the cancer cells out of the body of fandom.
This was so wonderfully abstract, I loved reading this. Apologies for the long time this comment took, again. I loved it.
