I’ve been in such a funk since the concert. I’m not even sure I enjoyed myself that much. maybe I did. I don’t know

#I don’t think I’m a concert person #parts of it were fun but parts of it were like …I’d rather be in bed right now and watching clips of this off tiktok #isn’t post-concert blues a thing? right? it’s a thing?#all I know is I feel really shitty and all I want to do is cry about it

Doing a classic and going to a concert by myself today. Thing is I’ve been exhausted all day but at least I left work early and then realised the artist doesn’t actually go on at 20 but at 22 so I’m a bit more chill and I’m hoping it’s gonna be fun. I’m gonna wear a dress I think (there are 7-8 degrees even though it’s November so it’s okay to be delusional that I’m not gonna freeze I think), maybe a little eyeliner, go there, have a beer, dance, listen to the music, have fun, go home. You know?

#I’ve always been so insecure about music in my personal life so the two concerts I’ve been to have both been on my own #also it’s like my no 1 favourite artist (perhaps) so I don’t want to bring anyone just to bring them #and then not be able to enjoy it properly because I’m thinking about their experience #dai raga sarà divertente #let me have a little shotizinho with my rice and vegan nuggets #yeah I’m excited #snicksnack

what’s there not to understand about hypomania? you know when you get overtired, and like a toddler, you get all hyperactive and also want to cry or do Every Fun Thing you can think of and it actually becomes harder to sleep? like as a result of too much overwhelm or being so emotionally exhausted that’s how your body makes you able to cope, the aftereffects of too much adrenaline? just imagine being stuck like that. and every day it triggers itself more, overload of emotional whiplash and energy and you’ve lost all ability to think rationally and you can do anything at this point, because why not? you’ve got nothing left in you to hold back on any idea that could be exciting and stop you from falling into the void where the wiredness you feel has nothing to latch onto to burn off that nervous energy in a positive way, emotionally. for days or weeks or months on end. you don’t need to have ever experienced this fully to extrapolate and be like. yeah. I can see how it would suck eventually to get stuck like that

#at this point I’m begging people to see the overlap with adhd too bc anecdotally it seems like everyone I know also has that #and the overlap with bpd and hpd but I think the main difference is. being stuck in that high energy state. even when the energy turns sad #and bitter and hopeless. it’s essentially just overstimulation from your own brain. gets stuck overstimulating itself to cope maybe?#like i know people say it’s not triggered by life events but they sometimes can trigger it. but imho depression is gonna trigger it too #eventually. anything where everything is Too Much can start the positive feedback loop that’s almost impossible to turn off #which if you don’t know what a positive feedback loop is. means smth triggers smth which goes back and triggers its original trigger #thus getting bigger and bigger in magnitude. it’s like the chicken and the egg. egg makes chicken and chicken makes egg. more egg more #chicken and more chicken more egg. as opposed to a negative feedback loop which by the time there gets enough of smth it stops triggering #making more of it. your body relies on negative feedback loops for smth called homeostasis which is basically keeping everything stable #so obv positive feedback loops are gonna do the opposite of stable. in this case for your energy and your mood #most people are able to sleep better when they’re tired. my hypothesis of hypomania is when being tired makes you less able to rest #and that obviously spirals in on itself. mania would just be an extension of that I guess? but in some people it does happen really fast so #I get the narrative that it’s a chemical imbalance bc it is. but the specific imbalance being the tendency to a positive feedback loop make #more sense to me too. and can be why predictability and external cycles to ground yourself to are so important #there’s also never a 0% chance of you ever having a manic episode btw. anyones brain can theoretically get into this loop it’s just that if #you’re genetically predisposed to bipolar you’re much more likely to! and that’s okay. you can manage it with meds and lifestyle #but it makes sense why lowering stress (which can trigger this cycle) is such an important part of treatment and management #anyway. hopefully I’m not like. horribly horribly wrong or smth. in the end I can only speak for my experience so lmk if I’m missing smth #bipolar awareness #bipolar 2 #hypomania #personal mental health tag #neurodivergence #would you believe I was reminiscing about a concert I went to once. and it made me think of all this

sooo it’s been a couple of days since I went to Miku Expo and like… I think I’m still reeling from the fact that I actually went since I’ve been listening to vocal synth music since my childhood and I never expected that I’d actually be able to go to one of these concerts?

some thoughts and highlights under the cut!

the show I went to was sold out (in D.C.) and I stood in line + waited for like, 6 or 7 hours? but I had so much fun that it was worth it!

I helped some people put film inside their penlights, and it was nice chatting with them while we were waiting!

some groups of elderly people who were hanging out in the area were confused about what was going on and after asking some concert-goers to explain they started laughing LMAO (some puzzled passerby’s asked me too and I just said “oh it’s a J-pop concert!” because I didn’t want to go into what Vocaloid was in full detail haha)

there were so many cute cosplays there; I saw a lot of people in Miku’s Vampire outfit and was surprised to also see an Oliver cosplayer, there were also some dressed as Project Sekai characters too!

before the show, every time someone in the audience held up a Miku plush, everyone around them would cheer and hold up their penlights

some people also brought Miku plushes that were bald and whenever they held up those, everyone would shout “BALD, BALD, BALD!” (and I heard someone say “MY EYES!!!”)

the songs the crowd were the loudest for were Miku, Vampire, and World is Mine (it was… so loud during World is Mine LOL)

Kaito fans were being Kaito fans when he did his solo (ILY Kaito fans you’re so iconic) and there was also a notable amount of hype when Luka’s solo finally happened since it took until halfway through the show to get to her

I know the setlist was quite controversial when it was released online but I honestly liked hearing it in person, I feel like the band really elevated the experience (kudos to them!), I really liked how they played for Literacy and Hyper Reality Show in particular

and maybe a hot take but the screen wasn’t… that bad to me? but that was also because I was in the very front and the venue put lights around the stage as well, so I may be biased

#ness yells #and like #my positive experience with the concert doesn’t erase all of the controversies that happened along the way #I’m aware that people were heavily dissatisfied with the merch sales #and lack of communication #I personally got my merch online and without issue. and generally kept an optimistic outlook since this was something I’ve always wanted to #go to! especially after there being no NA concerts for years #I definitely think a lot of things could’ve been handled better though. so don’t just assume that I’m like #‘wow this must’ve been a perfect experience for everyone involved!’#bc I’m not ignorant to the backlash. I read it all dw 😭#but I just wanted to share some nice memories I made #if you even care LOL #ough and also like #this is making me really want to make more miku fanart omg 😭#IT WILL HAPPEN I PROMISE I HAVE PLANS TO!!!#I love vocaloid and vocal synths sm it’s like 90% of the music I listen to

i will say this tho… the reason why most kpop groups don’t come to europe is because in comparison to maybe the usa, the market for kpop music there is better than in europe and also since companies nowadays are obsessed with making groups international (promoting them in the us basically) they know it’s easy money over there honestly that’s what i think

#not saying that in europe there aren’t kpop fans #which there are #i would say there are a lot in france and spain and perhaps italy??#but like when they quote on quote tour europe they only go to those countries #and in hindsight the tour ends up being small and there’s not that much profit #compared to what the us brings tbh #i hate to admit it but it’s true lol #the music industry like the western one mainly happens in america #and when groups tour there’s no doubt they will go there #there’s also that guarantee #but also what i don’t get is how they don’t go to south america #when especially brazil has a lot of kpop fans???#i feel like south america has a lot of kpop stans especially in recent years #but all of this to say that yes it’s a good decision #i don’t think it is lmao #i never went to a concert bc of travel costs #when tours happen in europe is never in portugal so #the closest thing i have is spain or france #but that’s too much money for an average person like me #so i am not abt to make that awful financial decision #as much i want to see my fave groups #but it’s true that kpop is international #and is getting more and more international #and companies don’t do tours outside of the us #and i’m not talk about asia bc of they tour in asia that is a given #i mean outside of asia they only go to america #and MAYBE … very rarely… five european countries #anyways this is getting long but you get what i mean #it’s sad that a lot of people don’t get opportunities for many reasons #tris.txt

i’ve seen far too many tiktoks made purely with the intention of making fun of other people at tour (for their outfits, for how excited they got, for what songs they did or didn’t know…i could go on) and i just want to say i wish every single person who feels the need to not only make fun of someone but to do it on the internet a very fuck you. leave your mean girl energy at home idc

#i’ve seen so many and they all make my skin crawl why do people think it’s cute to unabashedly make fun of others for no reason #the most recent one i saw was someone making fun of a person a row or two ahead of them for shazaming illicit affairs #and yknow what??? who fucking cares. i don’t blame them. if folklore/evermore isn’t your vibe you might NOT know it #and yknow what????? i’m SURE there are songs the strictly folkmore girlies don’t know so well #illicit affairs is Not a song so widespread and well known and it’s on the setlist anyway. you enjoy yourself and stop worrying abt others #makes my blood BOIL #i thought we were way past the whole. only xyz people who know xyz songs get to go to tour. stop it #people paid money to go just like you did and good for them if they got tickets and wanted to have a good time #for some people that’s all this is!!! a concert!!!! a fun time!!!!! let them live!!!!!!!!#my sister is trying to learn the songs on the setlist and she’ll absolutely ask me to clarify if she doesn’t remember. that’s okay #doesn’t make her any less excited to be there or entitled to be there or any less of a fan vs anyone else #grow the fuck up #sorry i’m mad now #this has been a rant #taylor swift #eras tour

Me, struggling to maintain my principles that hating on straight people is more harmful to our community than helpful, when I see videos of young straight girls screaming MOTHER IS MOTHERING at Mitski shows:
