#And that's what he said

Mon mec sature Peach, il n’en peut plus de Jimin 😶 "Jimin ceci, Jimin cela, encore Jimin !!" Oups… 🙊 Je propose la création d’un groupe de soutien pour nos partenaires et la mise en place d’un numéro vert 😁

LOL

I second that suggestion. Anyone willing to set this up, please send me a DM.

Jimin nearly made me short-circuit yesterday. And it wasn't the visuals, or his (HUGE) arms or chest or pecs or whatever. It wasn't even his dancing really, though that was so fucking satisfying to watch.

The thing that got me, is that this is the kind of music he loves and vibes to.

Y'all have no idea how much that realization fucked me up.

It confirmed for me that SMF Pt 2 wasn't a fluke. That that kind of dirty, bass-heavy, gritty production in music is actually his bread and butter, something I always thought was firmly in the realm of the rap-line to fully appreciate and deliver on. It confirmed for me that Face-off actually reflects his musical DNA, that Alone is music that calls to him on the deepest level; that music driven by heavy basslines and riffs, where the adlibs are as much a feature of the song as the topline (just like it's done on Alone, Face-off... all his music), where simple but memorable (catchy) melodies are paired with vibey beats... that this kind of music is his thing.

That's what got me.

I'm not even a huge fan of Kenny or Dominic Fike, but Phone Numbers is a dope track and one I've got in several playlists.

It's that Jimin has such good taste. I suspected as much over the years but he was always so taciturn with his music recommendations, mentioning a handful here and there. But to get confirmation that Jimin genuinely enjoys music I love and he's so good at expressing the spirit of that kind of music using his body...

That kinda blindsided me.

I've never seen an artist who feels the music the way Jimin does.

Anyway, Anon, taking it back to the help-support hotline (lol). My relationship with my biases is a bit more complicated than me 'being in love with them' though, at least not in the sense where my partner would have any reason to worry. They don't consume me that way. Jimin though....

He's a problem.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

If you've ever told a person who's had to be bedbound for a period of time that you wish you could "just stay in bed", DO IT.

Stay in bed. For days. But don't get up if someone needs you to, or you get bored, or you get antsy. Don't do anything other than rest. Just lie in your bed, whether you need to get stuff done around the house or socialize or anything else "productive". You'll have to cancel on people, you'll disappoint them, they won't understand.

And if you're thinking, "well, i CAN'T just be in bed. There's stuff that has to be done - I have plans", maybe ask yourself why you assumed a disabled person doesn't have plans or things to do or desires.

I was at a Palestinian solidarity gig last night & the one Palestinian artist who was going to perform had COVID so the organisers asked around to see if there were any Palestinians who'd like to say a few words instead.

A local guy who was born & raised in Gaza offered to speak. He started with "I'm an engineer. i'm not a poet or a politician. I don't... do public speaking… I had no idea what to say when I came up here. So i'm just going to tell you about the street I grew up on."

And then he did! He went down the street building by building. He told us about the ice cream shop on the corner, the grocery shop, the charity that supports people with intellectual disabilities. He told us about the people who he knew growing up, the families who still live in the different houses. He told us about the university buildings and about his friends who quit being accountants to start a band together. All on that street.

All of which is gone now, by the way. Bombed to dust.

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

Apparently, my decision to be silly and make fanart of someone's writing (because I genuinely enjoy the story the person is writing and I was struck with inspiration upon reading a particular scene) has benevolent and wildly unforeseen consequences.

I apparently gained a bit of control of the canon because said writer really loved the art and decided what I drew/draw is canon.

2. Writer put said artwork into the document of his story right below the scene, so now it's IN the story where people who read the story will see it (with a link to me)

3. He sent the artwork to all his friends and people he knows because he was so excited

Wholesome interaction and I watched him do all that in real time, good stuff. However...there are two more consequences I was notified of today...nearly a full week after I gave the artwork.

Seeing the artwork caused his friends to become interested in reading and hearing about his story, which means more people are reading what he's writing and giving him critique on the story (which he actively asks for).

Apparently, upon seeing the art, his writer friends got a sudden second wind to pick back up writing they'd abandoned for a few months. Because, I quote, "seeing that someone enjoyed {his} writing enough to take the time to make art of it gave them the motivation that maybe THEY can write something that will inspire someone to also create something." I have accidentally caused a writing frenzy among his writer friends and my silly idea to make art for someone has had a butterfly effect for people who I don't even know.

Uhh...I'm pretty sure there's a moral here but I am tired and have a great deal of emotions about this.
