this is just like a little reminder even though it should be basic knowledge and common sense: give the guys their space and don’t be creepy or borderline stalkerish. if you’re going to a show and you see them walking around the area: don’t approach them or follow them around or take creeper photos/videos to let your friends know you saw them. you’ll see them in a few hours anyway and there’s a good chance you’ll see them after the show ends before they leave. you might think you’re just being friendly or whatever but it can and will make (and probably most definitely has made) them uncomfortable. if you wanna meet them and get pictures, if they come by the line beforehand and chat with everyone then get them then but otherwise just wait until after the show. all in all, respect their space, respect their privacy, respect them. just chill out a little, relax, and have a fun time at the show regardless of whether or not you meet them ☺️🤗

don’t let other people being crazy/stalkerish/over enthusiastic make you feel like you have to compensate and be more emotional over a band. no one’s judging how much you like/don’t like them based on your posts/tweets. don’t feel like you have to overreact or be something you’re not

hello lovelies! I’m all about giving the boys space and honestly, this goes for any band especially smaller ones, but I think there’s a big problem in treating them like children.  People need to gauge what’s okay and what isn’t with common sense.  The guys need space, they need room to be people too, but they would not play live shows without knowing that they are going to be meeting fans.  We are not at the point where hundreds of fans are swamping them in little stores they visit every day, that just isn’t a thing.  They are going to appreciate you if you go up to them and tell them how much you appreciate them or their music, so long as you are appropriate about it. AKA don’t go up to them while they seem very busy or are with friends and seem to be in a private moment etc.  Similarly, if you see them alone, I don’t see a problem with going over to say hi! It definitely doesn’t seem like they’ve found many issues in that happening.  I’m sure that they’ve been uncomfortable or tired and this is when people need to gauge what the best decision is. They are human beings who have a career in which this is something that they deal with regularly and again from what I’ve heard, as long as people are not creepy and “stalkerish” they do appreciate meeting the people that support them! I appreciate the hippo dudes as much as the next person and I want them to be comfortable and happy in what they’re doing ALWAYS, but I don’t think that anyone needs to feel the need to treat them like children who need protecting.  All in all as long as you are able to respect them and understand what is and isn’t appropriate, I can’t speak for everyone, but I think you’ll be just fine !
