IRYOU KEI/医療系

Spacehey post here.

Iryou kei playlist here.

Hi! This is a repost! Why? Well, adding images is a bit harder on tumblr than on spacehey, and the 30 image limit means that this post would have to be in 2 parts. Instead of photos, I'll simply list the bands depicted in the photos. The text bit of the post will stay as normal. My spacehey post will be linked above if you wanna check it out too, and all the images will be there.

Welcome to me ranting about my favourite subtype of v-kei!! I was making a post about every v-kei subtype, but i realised i cannot contain my love for iryou kei within that post- that's why i'm making a separate entry about iryou kei, and i'm only going to put a brief summary about it in the other post.  The sources for this post will be in the “every v-kei subtype” post coming soon! The iryou kei playlist linked above is going to be a WIP until 5/1/2025.

Iryou kei translates to “medical type”, and the visuals are typically focused on the horror conventions associated with hospitals, nurses/ doctors and medical equipment. It's quite a niche subculture outside of japan, and the iryou concept is typically only used by (non-iryou) bands for a short period of time. Actual iryou kei bands are rare. Many iryou bands are from the late 90s- early 2000s, so its heavily influenced by kote kei.Iryou kei visuals are usually used to explore a fetishised view on injury and recovery. In my opinion, iryou kei is used to explore a unique sort of mental decay or a sickness, as well as a lack of control over one’s body or mind.

The most basic component of an iryou kei outfit is a white lab coat, often splattered in blood- in fact, most iryou kei bands wear blood splattered clothing- or blue scrubs. However, clothes may also be anything, really. As long as it has some feature that makes it linked to doctors or patients, it gets the pass. Many bandmen wear bandages as accessories, whether to cover fake wounds or as a head piece, as well as using face masks, red crosses and decorative scrub caps.

The sound of iryou kei is usually punk, messy, unorganised and experimental, aligning with the unsettling visuals.

One day, I'll make a post about iryou bands, but I’m only going to talk about a few notable bands right now.

LuLu is considered a pioneer in iryou kei as they truly made iryou kei a core component of their image- they’re described as “affixing “Doctor” to each member’s name, referring to shows as “examinations” and incorporating medical themes into song titles and lyrics”.

Another notable iryou band is +isolation, who are well known due to their art depicting their members, and their sound, which is punk-like and experimental.

Also, GE+IM is well known within the iryou scene for keeping the scene alive in a time when iryou kei was on life support.

Iryou Kei Bands: lyrica, beata, zxs, 2nd effect, kuro juuji, persona, mikeneko byouin (x2), mercuro (x3), lulu (x2), +isolation (x3), la’mule (x7), forestier (x5), ge+im.

Non-Iryou Kei Bands (in iryou looks): madmans esprit (x7), malice mizer, kane to juusei (x2), plastic tree.

sooooo fun watching joel and zedaph interact. a hermit whose only experience with breaking minecraft is getting obsessed with the chisels and bits mod for a while VS a hermit who could figure out how to play minecraft with all his limbs restricted ingame and irl. hermit who spends 1/3 of his year doing megabuilds alone and hermit who only goes out of his hole bases to run redstone experiments. awesome

my favorite optional setup/payoff in veilguard has to be bellara defiantly quipping "watch me" at d'meta's mayor when he cites the impossibility to resist the evanuris' temptations, to then cut to a week later as she takes the literal archon's throne and spits in the face of fucking elgar'nan, telling him that he is not her god, before effectively murdering his archdemon and, ultimately, him :')

sorry everyone, I'm very much alive 🏃‍♂️

sorta homeless, staying with a friend. got a house in my name from the 19th onwards so that's chill! chronically ill, too fatigued to do a lot of things but I'm trying 🤟 kind of accepting that I'm joining the disability club.

trying my hand at art again, but very very slowly easing back into it. appreciate those who reached out to me <3

thinking about you all. missed my moots :)

flint fascinates me bc he comes off as rlly polite and kind

but also. not really. at all

they apologize often and it seems like they try to be nice to others, but then u look deeper and take into account different details

one of the biggest things abt flint that gets overlooked is that he likes drama .

i dont think liking drama itself is bad, why else do we have reality tv shows yk. but i think they actively indulge in it and one of the biggest things that points to this for me is how they treat the satellite investors

he seems to talk bad about them behind their backs, then can't handle the comeuppance of cosmo yelling at him.

this is further implied with cosmo saying they're "goin' around spreadin' lies", meaning flint does actively talk shit on what might be a regular basis. and flint saying "oh, no, I shouldn't have said that" implies FURTHER that they KNOW they're gonna get yelled at for it but continue to do it anyway with the hope cosmo wont find out. like hes not sorry for doing it, only sorry for getting caught.

cosmo gets HEAVILY neglected both in the community as a whole and whenever flint is brought up even though they have a really interesting and honestly hilarious dynamic (but thats for another post..)

whenever cosmo DOES get brought up in the context of he and flints relationship, people defend flint and blame cosmo for being "mean" to him. but tbh, i think cosmo has a fair point in this particular text. Flint can talk all he wants, but at the end of the day can't handle the consequences of it and lacks the confidence to put his foot down. He's a follower, not a leader (unlike cosmo, who flint looks up to canonically. WHICH NO ONE TALKS ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!)

flint also seems to have an interesting habit of apologizing even though he actively and intentionally attacks the toons right after

which i think is interesting. i think it's just a habit of his to say sorry when he knows he's doing/has done something wrong (especially bc he doesnt like facing the consequences), even if hes not actually sorry. Considering this is the same person who claims they like setting toons on fire, i dont think any of these apologies are sincere:

speaking of not being able to handle the consequences, when flint does get defeated by toons, there's a line that sticks out.

Specifically the "i'll be back" feels vengeful. Like he takes the defeat personally, and doesn't want to give up because it makes him feel weak and he wants to come out on top.

something else i find interesting and almost jarring in flint's dialogue is some of their Power Trip dialogue:

this dude is incredibly power hungry. he craves confidence and the ability to be a leader, given how he looks up to cosmo and is drawn to graham, who also appears confident.

speaking of graham, i think it's important to note that earlier, when flint was talking shit abt the satellite investors, he was saying that specifically to graham, who encourages flint not to "let people walk all over him".

graham encourages flint to feel more confident, which is not inherently a bad thing. confidence is great! and its something flint deserves. but i think there's an issue with how they choose to express this "confidence" on the rare occasions they do.

shown throughout this post, flint's way of trying to be confident is being power hungry, talking shit, and fighting toons . i think it's pretty clear that flint has been walked all over in the past and present, and it's caused them to become shy and a bit of a doormat. which he clearly doesn't like (more evidence of this is the fact that he explicitly dislikes belittling.)

and on the rare occasions when they're "allowed" to be confident, they proceed to belittle OTHERS, like toons. in a lot of their dialogue, they come off as condescending towards the toons, even if it's pretty awkward.

i think Flint deserves to feel confident, but the way they go about it is unhealthy. They've clearly been treated like a doormat and is fed up with it, and it seems like they lash out as a result. I think he has a good and genuine heart, but he almost comes off as bitter due to being walked all over constantly. its rlly interesting to dive into flint's flaws and the way they act due to their desperation for confidence, something they really lack.

im gonna need the sharks to keep fucking their goalies

the cuda stream has been down since 15 minutes into the 1st so i am going to answer some asks instead of firebombing flohockey for derailing the first cuda game i've gotten to watch in like two weeks. don't they know it's scott sabourin appreciation hours i need to look at him i'm having a weird weekend.

first of all you are correct. second of all i think you hit the nail on the pulse of a serious issue facing the sharkuda community which is that we friendzoned georgiev. even though he is a face haver with big brown eyes. sharks fans don't you love a face haver with big brown eyes, think about all the things we can do with a face have with big brown eyes. why did we friendzone him so bad we need to be horny about him. goalies don't thrive in san jose if we're friends with them we have to be terminally and catastrophically horny it's how they gain confidence and heal. and yes we hate to see them leave but we LOVE to watch them walk away and i think georgie deserves that...we have to take him out of the friendzone and into the splash zone.

third of all i read the double meaning of fucking their goalies as in providing zero defense and absolutely no goal support and in that meaning i don't think they need to do that. i think they need to do the opposite of that.
