#nor is there any stopping of this electon

[colorisbyshe]

You know what gets me... we live in a country where voter turnout is never higher than like 60% and yet you still have self-important leftists who really think they're sticking it to the man by not voting. Lmao

I don’t want to call them self important because on an ideological stance... I agree with them. I don’t... want to vote for Biden. Fuck, I barely want to vote for the politicians I don’t mind on the local/state elections. Like my governor can’t even fucking handel legalizing weed and my Senator published a book saying he’s only just realizing black lives matter. I’m not enthused by this shit.

These aren’t the people I want controlling my life.

But you’re absolutely right. We already have low voter turn out and... the elections are still “legitimized.” Democrats and republicans don’t learn shit fromm low voter turn out. Democrats don’t learn “Oh, we need to be more leftist” from Republicans winning, they learn “Oh, we need to appeal more to Republicans.” Every time a third party eats into their voter base, they don’t learn “Oh, maybe we should have more parties than a two party system,” they learn literal fuck shit from that.

The ONLY thing that even VAGUELY teaches politicians fucking ANYTHING is being voted out. Doesn’t teach them MUCH but lol... I’ve spent the last 15 years (which I started being aware of politics) watching democrats learn alllll the wrong lessons rfom losing elections.

I get the impulse to be optimistic about elections. But i don’t get how “inaction is action” is a coherent idea to anyone, especially in the wake of reality.

I don’t get how people can scream about gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisement especially for felons,a nd the electoral college (all things that are meant to suppress the vote, to keep people from voting) and then say voting doesn’t matter. How does behaving how republicans want you to (not voting) help anyone? How does giving in do anything?

I think people have created this dichotomy of “Voting and only voting for change” and “radical” “direct” action. To take part in one is to not take part int the other... only that’s not true. You vote for who you think your direct action would be most effective against.

But the word “action” implies... action. Voting is inaction. Posting abot how we need direct action... is still inaction. Not all people can partake in direct action but then... you must do what you can to support those who do. Inclduing voting for those who will best respond to those actually acting.

Here’s a good video to understand my perspective:

✶「The Knight who sings a Crimson Song | Tomokazu」♪

✶「Basic Information」♪

Name: Shibuya Tomokazu.

Name (Kanji): 士武屋 友和 「しぶや ともかず」

Birthday: July 7th, 1992.

Age: 25.

Star sygn: Cancer. 

Height: 182 cm   |   5′ 11.7′’

Weight: 64 kg   |   141 lb

Family members: Shibuya Kazuhiko (Father, 51, Businessman), Shibuya Chie, neé Kamenashi (Mother, 47, Music Teacher), Kamenashi Nokoru (Grandfather, 78, farmer).

✶「Personality Traits」♪

Personality: A cheerful, arrogant and hardworking idol, Tomokazu Shibuya may not seem like he’s a disciplined and responsible person, but in fact, he always has a plan for most of the things he does, at least, work related. He follows his agenda to the letter, and he manages to do all his activities just in time. His strong sense of duty can be a problem for him, because when he has much work to be done, he doesn’t eat nor rest properly, which causes him to collapse when he’s heavily tired. For the rest of things, he’s spontaneous and relaxed, leaving almost everything to the odds. 

He’s usually seen with a confident smile in his face and he’s never afraid to speak his mind. When he sees something he doesn’t like he’ll be willing to complain about it and when he sees something he likes, he supports it so everyone knows his position. Yet, when it comes to liking someone, this could change drastically, as he’s thoughtful, insecure and painfully afraid of rejection. He loves to be there for his friends and to cheer them up, even if he has to do foolish acts to make them smile, because he hates seeing people upset or sad, and because he wants to feel useful to everyone. He could say lots of silly jokes to no end at the moment, if the situation lets him doing it. 

However, when there are important things to do or advice to give to a friend in problems, he gets serious and gives a mature vibe when he speaks. It isn’t easy to truly upset him, however he can be a Drama King over little things. Tomokazu is a strongly emotional individual, but when people insults him, he lets it slip at the moment, altough he’ll be thinking about it for hours when he’s alone. On the other hand, when you badmouth his friends, he can get horribly enraged and he will defend them with everything he got. When he is really angry, he’s scary and harsh, to such an extent he will speak with a foul mouth, insulting and saying bad words he wouldn’t normally use.

His cheerful facade which he shows to hs fans, or his “Idol self” isn’t much different from his true personality. Nonetheless, his strong will, his self-confidence and his arrogance are part of the traits he only projects. In reality he has low self-esteem, always looking for recognition, love and acceptation. He’s constantly facing depression, worrying if he’s good enough to be in the media, if he’s talented enough to stay there, if he’s likable enough for his friends to stay with him, working himself to exhaustion to demonstrate everyone why he has a legit place in the highest orbs of the idol insdustry. This part of his personality isn’t often shown when there’s people aroundh him, he saves it for when he’s alone.

The majority of the time, when he’s free, he’s chill and just wants to have fun. Kazu loves his job and is proud of what he is now and how far he got with all his hard work and his talent.

Myers Briggs: ESFP with some ESFJ tendencys.

Strenghts: 

Observant: He’s prone to naturally notice changes in people and situations, even if they’re subtle.

Utterly Social: Tomokazu enjoys being with his friends and fans, and he loves both being the center of attention and to play attention to others.

Fast learner: He can learn lots of things by himself if he’s commited enough. Applies for everything except cooking (It will take him twice or three times more effort to learn it properly, due to some past issues).

Empathic: He’s very sensitive to other’s emotions, which is a double edged sword.

Independent: Except for cooking, he does all his activities on his own and usually doesn’t ask for help when he doesn’t know anything. He learns about it on his own.

Weaknesses:

Manipulative: To a certain extent and according the circumstances. He’ll try to always get away with it, trying not harm anyone in the process.

Dramatic: His first weakness can be related to this one. His best way to manipulate people is being a Drama King, but sometimes he just seems to be accustomed to make a storm in a teacup.

Often too needy: His seek for recognition can be translated in start searching excuses for people to praise him, so he’ll feel reassured for how much he’s valued. 

Depressive: He’s constantly reflecting on all the negative things someone said about him, or which he noticed on his own. Even so, he hadn’t reached a point of no return, because he considers himself a coward.

Insecure: He fears to be rejected, forgotten or replaced, but he doesn’t voice it up, he just leaves the apprehension crept silently through his heart.

Hobbies and interests:

Plastic arts: He can draw almost everything, from realistic art to manga style.

Read manga, watch anime and play videogames: He’s a holy trinity otaku type (?).

Food: He loves to go to new restaurants and pastry shops to try new kinds of food.

Working out: So he can maintain his weight and gain more stamina for his live shows.

Fashion: He’s informed about all the fashion trends at the moment, but his fashion style is a mix between trendy, casual and comfy.

Fun facts:

His friends nickname him “Kazu” [To difference him from the “Tomo” in Tomochika]. Haruka calls him “Kazu-kun”.

He doesn’t like to be called “prince”. He thinks “knight” suits him better and his whole idol image is about him protecting “The queen of his heart”.

His fans are called “Gemstones” or “Jewels”, it depends on his mood.

He loves chocolate and strawberries, both if they’re combined in a dessert such as ice cream. That’s why he has a rough workout routine to not gain weight.

He’s well informed about everything, because he always reads the news or searches information to know something before any of his friends.

His hair is wavy in the morning, but he uses conditioner and gets hair treatments to have it more or less straight. Moisture is his worst nightmare because his hair gets frizzy and he hates it. [It doesn’t look too different but he’s a perfectionist]

He’s a smooth talker and loves to fluster people.

He considers that Haruka making him a composition would be the best thing to happen him, in his career and in his life.

He’s really fashionable and models for a brand specialist in sportswear.

He has awful cooking skills because his mother didn’t let him enter in the kitchen when he was a child, due to an accident which had happened before.

Debut date: April 26th, 2008. (Two years prior Starish Debut)

✶「Backstory」♪

The only son of the Shibuya family. Tomokazu grown up with the pressure to exceed all the expectations of his parents. They both are (relatively) lovely people and supported Kazu since he was a child, yet, they were equally demanding in regards of his scores at school and winning contests in topics in which he was talented. In fact, he had a gift for music from an early age, so they were specially strict with him on these.

When he succeded, they showed him all their love and adoration, but everytime he failed, they rejected him and pushed him harder to achieve just the best places in anything he would be doing at the time. Due to this, Tomokazu developed a very low self-esteem, always searching for nice words to be said to him, that way he felt useful and loved because of them. He was sternly criticized by his dad everytime he couldn’t cope with what was expected from him, and his mother, softer than his dad, tried to make him “understand” they were acting as harsh as that for his own sake. This environment made him sick with nervousness every time he felt like he wouldn’t win a prize, be at the top tier in his school or even win a video game.

Because of this, his grandpa offered taking Kazu with him during his summer vacations, so the child could relax from all the burden put into his tiny shoulders. This was the escape Tomokazu needed, and his time in the countryside, picking up tomatoes and fruits with his grandpa, as well as taking care of the animals with him was the best time of his life. 

Here, he knew Haruka and befriended her, meeting the girl every summer and eventually developing a crush on her. However, when he had 11 years old, an accident in which the girl nearly drowned in a river because he insisted to play in there threw away all the relax he could experiment in his life. He did all he could to save his best friend and to take her safely home. Haruka’s grandma received the wet and terrified boy carrying her granddaughter in his back. She helped to save the girl and she also tried to reassure the redhead boy which couldn’t stop trembling and crying at the sole thought of losing his dearest friend. Haruka’s grandma didn’t blame him for what happened, but he couldn’t help feeling guilty and depressed about it.

Kazu’s grandfather offered an apology to the Nanamis, helping them as much as he could, but when Haruka finally awoke, she couldn’t remember much about Tomokazu, just vague memories which seemed to keep fading along other memories she had. That was the trigger which made Kazu take a decision. He begged his grandpa to not say anything about this to his parents (he wasn’t planning to do it, anyways, because he was truly supportive to his grandson), and he promised keep going to visit him every summer, yet he would avoid meeting with Haruka so she wouldn’t got hurt trying to figure where did she met him. Kazu was still happy visiting his grandpa, but he often showed a pained expression everytime he passed the places in which he used to play with his best friend, including her home. Until this day, he still has kept this promise and goes to visit his grandpa, even if his packed schedules just let him stay for fewer days than before.

His parents noticed something had changed in him, but only his mother started to pay more attention to his feelings than her own expectations, yet it was too late: Tomokazu was more mentally damaged than she could imagine. Kazu put all his efforts in music, the only activity he enjoyed despite their parents pressure. That alongside his mother’s support in choose a career which would make him happy in the future led him to go to Saotome Academy, and, until now he’s happy with that decision. He was sorted to the A Class, much to his parents displeasure (they wanted their son to attend S Class, but they didn’t tell him anything, maybe Kazu’s mom had something to do here), but he proved himself to be a promising idol and debuted with his composer partner a year after he started studying there, with just 15 years old.

As a solo idol, Tomokazu struggled during his first months in the media, trying to gain himself a place and a name, working hard so he could achieve only the best places, as his parents always encouraged him to. Of all his songs, the one which made him jump to stardom was REGENERATION, which won various awards that year. Since that day, his fame just kept rising and rising, being known as the Tomokazu Shibuya, TheJewel Crimson Knight. Anyways, he often felt lonely because he hadn’t bandmates, which led him to escape from time to time to Saotome Gakuen to be among the students and remember the old times. That way he met Haruka again, who (not so surprisingly) didn’t remember him at all, and the future Starish members, being more closer to Otoya and Ren. He witnessed from the distance how the group was starting to form, Haruka being the glue who tied them all. Tomokazu felt jealous of them, but he knew they could do it well if they maintained their harmony.

Slowly Tomokazu managed to keep his depresion at bay, do all his activities and hang out with his friends. He ended truly befriending the majority of the Starish boys and trying to be there for them in critical moments, such as preparing themselves to win the Utapri Award and assisting their fight for the SSS. 

✶「The future」♪

He’s planning to retire when he’s 32 or so, and he’s doing seiyuu works little by little. He wants to be a voice actor when he retires from being an idol so he can explore a more mature way to be in the media. That’s also his plan so he can settle down and start a family with the person he loves.
