msg and the end of the road

so many feelings, most of them mixed.

i love the thottest (not hottest) band in the world. i love the drama, the goofiness, the tragedy, the sheer unbridled capitalism, the homoeroticism, the utter stupidity. and i love most of all a version of the band that hasn't existed since i was ten years old.

i'm thirty-four.

i don't usually blog too much about my kiss experiences for a lot of reasons, one being that, oddly enough, it tends to feel a little too personal for a blog that's mostly shitposts and fanfic.

i enjoyed the nyc takeover/popup store (i'm not generally a merch person, but they had better designs overall than usual, including a great scarf that i'm sure is probably now up for hundreds on ebay)-- it was cool to see those kiss aspects on the street, on the metro cards, and on the empire state building. in person, i didn't feel it was quite as much of a takeover as was hyped, but that was to be expected in a city so gigantic and i have no complaints. it was cool just to have what was there, although i do wish i could've gotten a kiss cookie!

friday's show was pretty close up, which is always fun. i am basically always on stage left due to that being where paul will do his little ride to the b-stage. gene kept trying not to cry-- paul actually didn't seem that emotional. had a really lovely chat with the guy in the seat next to me (who was from the bronx) before the show started, about kiss and NYC in the seventies/eighties and today.

friday was not sold out.

second/last show was up quite a bit higher but was facing the stage-- overwhelming, not just from the emotions of it being the last show, and paul clearly doing the best he could, and gene clearly being about to cry the entire, entire time-- but also because i've just seldom gotten to see the whole stage from kiss before. the whole tableau out there is really fantastic. in all the times i've seen them, i had never even realized that paul's stage is lit up and has that star pattern before! i liked the somewhat cage effect going on during paul's b-stage bit.

i wasn't much for the interviews and so on beforehand-- criss angel in particular i wasn't a fan of. the part with the kids was okay. not really sure what was going on with the kiss kosplay aspect but all right. i had vague hopes that they would do a little 5-10 minute retrospective bit, taking the audience through some of their history, have clips, etc.-- would've been a cool touch. i had absolutely no real expectations of ace or peter (or anyone else that was formerly in kiss) actually being there, but thought a recorded greeting might be possible. i would have liked them at minimum to have been mentioned. (to really have gotten a full 50 years' perspective, all former members should have at least gotten a mention somewhere.)

"beth" got me a little emotional, but i was surprised at how by the end of the concert i wasn't as devastated as i'd expected. i guess i had come to terms with a world without kiss.

and then we, uh. well, we, uh, got the avatar announcement.

um.

yeah.

maybe it's my own fearful mortality peeking through, but i kept thinking of the theological idea of the eternal perspective. to me personally it goes a little deeper than "time is short, focus on the correct/most important aspects of your life;" an eternal perspective also is considerate of the aspects of others' lives. as i've gotten older, i've started to understand a lot of things i never did before, about other people, the way they viewed/handled things as opposed to the way i did, etc. the older i get, the more i see where i've consistently messed up, and where i've failed, or, at least, made a situation worse instead of better. and, maybe, sometimes, it's let me see that i need to let up and let go.

kiss owes no one anything. not a lineup, not a recording, not an experience (except one that's been paid for). their legacy is borne out of the blood, sweat and tears of ten members total, a half-dozen or more managers-- though all principal credit is due to bill aucoin-- brilliant producers, and hundreds of roadies, bodyguards, techs, costume designers, press agents, and so on who believed in them. but i would hate for the four beasties of rock and roll to never see each other again until one of them is covered up in flowers in the back of a black limousine, and sadly, this is looking more and more like this may be the case.

i am grateful for this band and the wonderful people it's caused me to meet and befriend (especially my dear friends that came with me, @hillsofuhhtennessee and @elrohare! we had the most incredible time!!), and how it's pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me broaden my horizons. i am grateful for the experiences and the memories. kiss has always been there for me in the very lowest times of my life, and my hope still is, that maybe someday, they could be there for each other and mend some fences before the real end of the road for all of them.

NaruHina outfit swap 😮 There’s a new anime called “That Time Kenji Ran Out of Content to Post and is Also Too Lazy to Shave and Put on Other Cosplays So He’s Reposting Old but Gold Content” and I’d say it’s pretty good but the main character Kenji kinda mid LOL anyways school started, I’m working less, and I’m still gonna be active but I’m more so gonna try to improve old cosplays at the moment. I’m still cosplaying Giyu that’s for sure! He’s my next project I’m working on at the moment.

[kimaisalloren]

Aren't you white

???? Feelin like that scene from mean girls LMAOOOO

My family is from Mexico and the other half Germany, so like I guess. I even have a Mexican last name! A lot of people don’t expect that from me. but since I think I know what this is about, Miko is Japanese, like most anime characters, but is a Gyaru, which is a subculture of Japan that basically goes against Japanese societal norms that pale is beautiful and follows a more western mindset that typically plays off of the Malibu Barbie. So blonde hair, tanned skin, heavy makeup. (As opposed to natural black or brown hair, pale skin, natural makeup)

I have an extremely rare allergy to the sun, and can’t produce melanin. So I’m super pale.

I actually LOVE gyaru and it’s inspiration from barbie and going for things that aren’t typical of societal norms. However, ironically, I’m actually a goth irl, which also goes against a societal norm. Maybe I just like alt fashion? I’m a huge fashion nut but before wearing Mikoto I actually did research gyaru, it’s inspirations, and it’s source. It’s not common in America, like Lolita or harajuku.

Anyways the major difference here is I’m wearing like 120 maybelline up top and here I’m wearing mehron’s clown white lite.

Idky this came into a fashion discussion but I just love fashion and alt cultures around the world, gyaru being one of them. It really never became super well known in America and I think the most common one people know is like. The bullies from yandere sim LMAO they’re gyaru too.

Anyways part 2: I’m is a westerner dressing in a Japanese alt fashion that’s recreating a western style based off Barbie. So does this work for the Barbie movie???

One Day...

Maybe I will get to cosplay in that or similar...

On the mixandmatchies (story and Invasions spoilers):

I am really interested in the genderbent ninjas. I wish they could be playable somehow but I know it’s unlikely

But like, girl!Sub-Zero could be a skin for Frost and girl!Reptile for Khameleon. Yeah they would be just kameos but it would already be great!

And - I know it won’t happen - they could. Idk do the i2 thing. Let Scorpion be Harumi. Let Scorpion be Kuai or Hanzo or Harumi! Then Harumi could also be the girl!Scorpion

And Ermac is just Ermac. I guess they are more “male” now as Jerrod but they are still nb for me

Actually. The girl ninjas are just mkm Kosplay Jacqui. Not mkx, specifically, bc in mkx she just has the Scorpion outfit while in mkm she not only has all of these (I think she only misses Smoke’s and Noob’s) but also she has their powers/weapons (she throws snow balls in Subs kosplay and it’s adorable). Except none of them is black, unfortunately. But it would be pretty funny if a cosplaying Jacqui or even Cassie were added in like the next kombat pack with this ability when Khameleon is right there

(But Khameleon is for originally girl ninjas! Chameleon is for boy ninjas, and Kosplay Jacqui should be for boy ninjas as a girl. And I used to dream that Kosplay Cassie should be for the boy ninjas Jacqui isn’t but there aren’t many of them)

Anyway. This game is already so so close to satisfying my (hopeless) chaotic request for them to make a main ninja be a girl. The genderbent mixandmatchies exist. Scorpion!Harumi is canon. This is much more than I could dream of already
