Nota: Que pôster complicado! Não digo isso pelas aplicações (em partes, é um tiquinho sim), mas sim pelo tanto de arquivo corrompido ou bugado que eu consegui fazer. TRAVEI ATÉ O PHOTOSHOP!! 🤡🤡 Eu tive que mudar o tamanho para parar com o problema, então essa capa está em 1020×1600 pixels.

Gostaria de ter terminado mais cedo, mas sou meio ocupado na vida pessoal e acabou que levei mais de uma semana! Terminei hoje mesmo dia 17 de março, que loucura, galera, que loucura!

Confesso que não estava curtindo muito o processo, mas quando isso acontece procuro me manter longe da arte, só para dar aquela esfriada na mente e organizar melhor as ideias. Acabei gostando do resultado, fiquei até mesmo com vontade de fazer uma segunda versão dela, mas quem sabe, não é?

E revisitando essa pequena "trajetória" até aqui, percebo que realmente fui bem nessa, e me arrisco a dizer que sinto que alcancei meu objetivo para esse pôster.

•••

Então, após todo esse falatório, para os interessados, fiquem agora com um pouquinho de algumas loucuras do processo, incluindo um extrazinho:

EXTRA:

Gostei das cores, pois me remeteram uma pegada meio halloween, sei lá.

Di pansinin pero hawak ko yung soju poster ni IU. Hiningi ko sa may-ari nung samgyeopsal-an na kinainan namin kanina. Binigyan niya din ako ng photo card. Medyo ayaw pa nga nung una dahil para lang yun sa bibili ng soju tapos dalawa pa kaming humihingi pero pumayag din naman. Hehe.

Anyway, nag-grocery muna kami bago umuwi.

Jikook Week 7 Complete ✔️(23-30/01/2024)

Their seventh week in the military is now complete. It's time to celebrate this milestone with a look back at this week in 2019.

JK was still making covers of songs and on 23/01 he released Ending Scene by IU on Sound Cloud.

Jimin responded with "Cover fairy JK😁"......

....and "Kitty Ending😊".....

followed by "Met in Malta"

Nostalgia for the Malta trip in 2018 perhaps "Together bam!"

On the 29th January, Run BTS Episode 61, the first sauna episode, came out. Jin, Suga and Jimin were on one team and RM, Tae, J-Hope and Jungkook were on the other.

In the first game, Jimin and Jungkook, playing against each other, get exactly the same score on the finger flick machine and immediately reference Serendipity, " You are I, I am you"

The second round was a word game which, I have to say, I don't really understand, even after watching the show a few times. Jin and RM won the first and second rounds in under a minute but Jimin's time in the sauna extended over three rounds. Jungkook was his second opponent. They were working together to get the answer but JK got there first and was happy to escape to the cool and snacks.

Afterwards though he was little remorseful having left Jimin to battle it out a third time and was cheerleading from outside the sauna.

The episode ends there, but I sneaked a peak at Run BTS 62 and I am happy to say Jimin makes it out next round.

Grace Era - Birthday Live

The moment BigHit teased the random dates under the ChuGrace hashtag, everyone was excited to see what was coming. Many had speculated this would be Grace’s comeback or at least a solo debut while others suspected it might be something to do with modelling or maybe even acting. No one had given any clues out and all social media had remained silent, though a countdown video had appeared on BigHit’s website and Twitter after a post was made with the date of Grace’s birthday and a time. 

Many news outlets and websites had taken to sharing the news, including various other idols such as IU and CL who were excited for their close friend to be finally debuting as a solo artist while representing the biggest band on earth. Twitter saw Grace’s name trending for at least a week with many questioning what could be happening. 

The one date everyone agreed on was May 14th, Grace’s birthday. Without fail, there would be some kind of social media post or weverse live from Grace to celebrate her birthday - sometimes with the members, sometimes on her own, sometimes even during a concert. But ARMY was always included and they hoped this year would be no different. It would be Grace’s first birthday since everyone’s enlistment, a fact that didn’t escape other news outlets when they mentioned the countdown. 

DISPATCH were tasked to keep an eye on the Hybe building to see if Grace was spotted coming and going but there was nothing to report. The only thing that came out of it was bunches of flowers appearing from different florists across Seoul. A picture of someone carrying a bouquet made up of Lily-of-the-valley and white roses was posted to their website, zooming in on the card which had Grace’s Korean name on it. 

Another picture of massive pink balloons were seen as well, a rumour going around that it had ‘it’s a girl’ printed on a couple of balloons had sent the social media world into a frenzy. However, BigHit had remained silent and no statement had been released to clear anything up or to even expand on what was happening. 

The premiere of the Weverse Live was reaching over two million people who were simply waiting for Grace to appear. It had been live since 9pm that evening with a few thousand waiting and the closer it got to the time, the more were joining. The woman in question was sitting in a studio filled with people, from Hitman Bang, PDogg, Sejin, assistants and even her parents were there behind the camera that was pointed towards a table. Behind the table was a purple background with GRACE in big balloons, posters with handwritten notes from staff and a birthday cake at the side ready to be eaten. 

She was nervous since this would be the day where she couldn’t stay hidden. Grace had kept herself in a little bubble, only appearing when she needed to and then staying behind closed doors. Visiting the other members, popping in to say hello to Seventeen and TXT, going to their concerts, visiting IU and CL, attending other concerts in secret, recording, modelling, signing contracts…it was ongoing even if it wasn’t in front of the cameras. She simply hadn’t stopped, especially when the tour had been confirmed with all the stadiums, dancers, choreographers, production, Disney+ and more. 

It was a huge undertaking on her own and while she had the boys' support via her phone, no one was physically there now to simply give her a pat on the back and say ‘You’ve got this.’ Though Sejin had simply stepped into that role and acted like her father, collecting her in the morning to take her breakfast, staying with her for her whole schedule, lunch then dinner and making sure she got home at a decent time. 

He even took over the role of looking after the cat, Min-ji. Speaking of said pet, he was content to spread himself over Hitman Bang’s lap in a small collar. It wasn’t odd to find the long, white and hairy cat walking around the set or the studio like he owned the place. He had become a favourite amongst the staff. 

Taking a deep breath, Grace glanced over to the screen as the countdown started to dwindle into single figures. Her eyes darted to her parents, to her father, who gave her a big thumbs up and a nod to say ‘you’ve got this.’

5 4 3 2 1

ARMY saw the screen switch from black to Grace sitting in front of them, securing a small but funny birthday hat to her head. Of course, the chat was spammed with ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY’ messages to the point where Grace couldn’t keep up and the staff moderating the chat couldn’t control it either.

“Thank you ARMY for all the birthday wishes! It’s currently 12 am here in Seoul, so it's currently 3pm in the UK which won’t be celebrating my birthday just yet. I’m 34 years old,” Grace paused and sighed. “That makes me sound so old. 34 years on this planet, I’m getting even closer to 40 and that’s just a very odd thought. But thank you so much for all your messages, I can’t see them all since they're going so fast and there’s so many people. Five million? Wow, thank you everyone.”

She pulled the birthday cake in front of her, specially made by her mother which she told the viewers. The candle was lit for her and ARMY could hear people in the background singing Happy Birthday to Grace who closed her eyes for a moment, stayed there for a second then blew out the candle.

“If you’re wondering who you keep hearing, there’s a lot of special people behind the camera right now,” Grace grinned as she handed the cake to the staff member to cut up for everyone then pulled off the birthday hat. “No it’s not the boys but their very important people. My parents are here as well.”

She paused to read some of the messages, a couple catching her eye which made her chuckle. “I’ve been teasing you? Have I really? Well there’s a good reason for that, which I will be revealing shortly for you all. I know the world has been waiting to see what the news will be and I even saw a DISPATCH report that said I was pregnant because they saw ‘it’s a girl’ balloons arriving at the building. I will quickly clear that up before it goes anything further - that’s for one of the staff members who recently found out she’s having a baby girl. Nothing to do with me.”

She kept the talk light, referencing various questions from the chat and ARMY was delighted when Min-Ji made his way over, jumping into Grace’s lap and resting his upper body across the table. “Min-Ji is here to help me tell you the news,” she laughed as she reached over to give his ears a good scratch.

“Okay, I’ve left this for as long as I can. So ARMY, even though it’s my birthday today, I wanted to give you a present. You’ve been waiting patiently for a very long time and even though I’ve always said something was coming, I’ve never been able to tell you everything until now,” she paused and glanced towards Hitman Bang behind the camera who stood and nodded, ready to jump in if he needed to. 

“Dangerous Woman was my first mixtape that I did with Hitman Bang, PDogg, Yoongi and Namjoon and I always wanted to create a sequel to Dangerous Woman but unfortunately never fully had the chance because obviously BTS became busier than normal and other things took precedence which I didn’t mind. Now, I’m on my own and the boys are in the military, I think it’s time I kept my promise to myself,” Grace started and went silent, causing ARMY’s to explode the chat with questions.

“Coming soon, there will be a new album.”

The Weverse stopped working for a full few minutes as the team quickly worked to get it back up and Grace was laughing when she came back in view, realising the news had caused ARMY to overwork the servers. Even social media was struggling to keep up with the news as Sejin saw the headlines already being spread across the various news outlets in Korea. 

“Not only that, the new album will have Dangerous Woman as its first CD but you’re getting a new CD with full new tracks. I’ve had them ready for a little while but I wanted to make sure I was happy with it all and that it was something I was ready to show ARMY and the world so I can’t wait for you all to enjoy the album,” she finished but she knew the next piece of news was going to send ARMY into a right tizzy.

“But I’m not only giving you a new album,” she paused and looked straight at the camera, a grin on her face. “I’m also going on tour. So wherever you are in the world, keep an eye out as dates will be announced soon and I can’t wait to see you all again. I knew if Yoongi could do it, I could as well though I think I can go a bit harder than he can so I need you all to hype me up as much as you can.”

The comments were going too fast for her to see and even Sejin couldn’t keep up with what was happening on his phone, messages coming in from various people over whether the news was true or not. Celebrities had even taken to their own social media to wish Grace a happy birthday but to include congratulatory messages over the new album and tour announcement. 

TXT had taken to their own social media accounts to post the news, wishing their noona a happy birthday and that they couldn’t wait to see her in concert. Seventeen soon followed as well as Twice and (G)I-DLE, then IU, Jessi, Epik High, Taehyung’s Wooza friends and then a message on WeVerse popped up from Jin towards the end of Grace’s live. 

“To my Grace - happy birthday! I’m sorry I can’t be there with you but I’ll be back for the next one. I can’t wait for ARMY to hear your new album which I know they’ll love and I can’t wait to see their reactions to your tour. You’ve worked so hard and it’s all going to pay off when you stand on that stage. ARMY, get ready to be amazed and please support your queen in my place. I’ll be home soon. I love you.”

Grace didn’t see the message till after the live but ARMY had seen it straight away, instantly commenting on it over Jin’s words. If there was going to be anyone who would follow Jin’s words to the T, it would be their fanbase.

“You’ll be seeing me a lot more now and I can’t wait to see all your reactions when everything is posted. I hope you’ll love the album, the tour, everything and I can’t wait to see you all. So many things are going to be happening in the next few weeks so prepare yourselves, because it’s going to be a lot. Thank you so much for the birthday wishes and messages, thank you for all your support. ARMY, I love you!” With a heart over her head with her arms, Grace gave her final message and let out a sigh of relief when the camera was switched off.

The news was out, the team was in place to get started and now she could fully relax and enjoy what was to come. Grace Chu was finally coming to take over the KPop world with a bang and so much more.

IU Pre-Release Single 'Love wins all' - 2024.01.24 6PM (KST)

[mysmorgasbordoffantabulosa]

Hi, this is going to be super random but I just needed to ask someone without getting attacked 😅

What is your opinion on people calling jungkook a lesbian or referring to him with she/her pronouns? (Ex: jungkook is my gf)

I stumbled upon this reddit post about jungkook and gender. The consensus was that jungkook is very gender fluid, which I completely agree with. But then there's all these comments saying he's feminine , a lesbian, or a butch lesbian and I just found it so weird. There were people disagreeing and saying that Jungkook in his non idol appearance, is pretty much a regular dude. But these people were fighting for their lives saying that we don't know the real jungkook because he's very feminine with his long hair, clothing (CK photoshoot), makeup, liking girl groups, being into IU, the way he embodies the gg dances etc... and idk I just feel like they're projecting onto him and stereotyping. There was even a lesbian calling them out, and they were telling her not to take the term 'butch lesbian' so serious and downvoting her, which I thought was crazy.

I had seen people tweet stuff like this on twitter, but I always thought they were just joking, but now im seeing that the majority of people aren't, and they really do see jungkook in this feminine lens... So, do you think it's ok for fans to call him that and use the wrong pronouns for him? Am I overreacting?

JK is (and can be) both feminine and masculine in how he expresses himself. I think, JK moves inbetween both, especially within how he dresses himself. He has consistently used gender neutral fashion brands, hell his brother's own fashion label (which JK uses) is very gender neutral.

I think the fandom... certain parts of it anyway... have a skewed perception of JK, one that comes from him being the Maknae and how they baby him for it. It's from this babying that they some fans extent that to their shipping of him. Large swathes of the fandom use this notion of JK being younger as being the "bottom" and therefore the "feminine" one of the ship. I saw it quite a lot in Taekook edits, which I always thought of as ridiculous, as I thought of JK being more masc with moments of femininity and Tae vice versa, but the age thing with Tae as hyung (top/dom/masc) and JK as maknae (bottom/sub/femme). I think that's ultimately what it's all about, age, and how that plays into fan-fic and gender roles.

The lesbian thing... I wonder if some just could articulate in sensible manner that JK is clearly a regular guy with some femme moments. So I'll clock that to the immaturity of the posters.

[vashtijoy]

Shido did mention that Akechi only learned to use his powers properly because of him, so imo what probably happened was that Akechi was in over his head on the revenge quest, as with everything, and hit the point of no return the moment he contacted Shido. By that time, whatever regrets he might feel were too little too late, since backing away would just get him killed. He had the genius plan of "bury every emotion ever and then die"

I tend to think that, if Akechi wanted to get out, he could find a way. He's clever and resourceful, but he believes he's in control of Shido and of his situation. Don't make the mistake of thinking he's a passive victim—Akechi finds many things about his situation rewarding, IMO, and a lot of things about his role satisfying, and of course those rewards are part of how he buries all those emotions.

The reason he doesn't leave is IMO that it never suits him to do so. If you're an Akechi-survives-the-engine-room truther like all right-thinking people, he clearly does exactly this at that point—he gets out, and stays out.

I think we need to be a little careful of Shadow Shido's assertion that Akechi couldn't use his powers without him. Shido tells us what he considers proper use of the Metaverse to be, back in the little explainer with Akechi:

Shido 理想の達成には、時に邪魔者の排除もやむなし⋯それが『異世界』の正しい使い方というものだ。 risou no tassei ni wa, toki ni jamamono no haijo mo yamu nashi... sore ga "isekai" no tadashii tsukaikata to iu mono da. Those who get in the way must be eliminated at times—that's the correct way to use the Metaverse. If I'm to achieve my ideals, there will be times those in my way must inevitably be eliminated. That's the correct way to use the Metaverse.

Shido considers the proper use of the Metaverse to be bumping off his enemies. He's chosen by God, after all—Akechi falling into his hands was all part of the plan. The Metaverse is there for him, to advance his plans and his ideals. This, IMO, is what Akechi is not doing with his powers, that Shido boasts about enabling: he is not using them to eliminate Shido's enemies.

So when Shadow Shido tells us this:

Shadow Shido 私だから、明智のあの力も、有用に使えたんだ。 watashi dakara, akechi no ano chikara mo, yuuyou ni tsukaeta n da. Moreover, it was thanks to me that Akechi was able to properly use his power to begin with. Without me, Akechi would never have put that power to any proper use.

... we need to bear in mind what Shido considers "proper use" to be.

yuuyou ni tsukaeta—"to be able to be utilised in a useful way; to be put to proper use". This is not IMO about whether Akechi could use his persona, or what his powers were, or developing them further in a lab or anything like that. It means he wasn't using the powers he already had in a way that was useful to Shido. Whatever Akechi was or wasn't doing at fifteen, it wasn't enough for Shido's liking.

It does seem to be adding up to a picture of Akechi heedlessly offering his powers to Shido, committing to get revenge whatever it takes, only to later find out what it will take. But don't ever forget that he walks in with a cruel, spiteful power that emerges from his heart—one he can use to hurt the world and the people around him.

And yeah, Akechi is the poster child for repression, and he seems to do such a good job of it. He seems so often like he's so pleased with what he does and what he is, so satisfied with his empty, lonely, smug existence where everyone else is forever inferior to him. And yet there are those little glimmers of doubt, like the repeated mentions of Wakaba, like the point in Sae's palace when he learns about changes of heart, like that whole inner monologue in the TV studio, when it seems like there's more going on than he wants to think.

*Avril Lavigne plays in the background*

quick followup—of course, Akechi ultimately uses Call of Chaos as a powerup—to make himself stronger and cut his restraints. And as a skill, despite its devastating effects, it seems to be all about reuniting people with their shadows. I wonder if that's its true purpose—to bring those two very disparate halves of himself together. It's not pretty, but then Akechi is not pretty.
