How to dress like basic Japanese bangya on the GazettE’s concert.

First, put on a black long sleeve shirt. You don’t want to expose any skin, even if it’s a humid Japanese summer.

If you’re feeling a bit extra (or if you want to look “cute”), instead of a regular black long sleeve, put on a long sleeve with a collar. Like that.

Now put on a band t shirt. Oh, you’re definitely going to boil to death. You can wear a t shirt from the previous tour, it doesn’t really matter. But cool girl came prepared or picked up a shirt in a venue and got dressed in the restroom, cause they came 8 hours earlier.

For the bottom, you don’t want to wear pants, cause it’s masculine and eww in general. You also don’t want to wear a mini skirt, cause you’re not a slut, so let’s go with a safe variant.

For accessories - face mask and a tote bag. Don’t forget to grab your collection of bears and put them on your bag, cause why did you spend thousands on them?

Bonus points if the mask is in some pastel colors, while your outfit if mainly black.

That’s it, now you’re ready to stand in the venue’s hall for 3 hours waiting!

#the slutshaming is a satire #everything else is real #we really went from colourful and wild outfits to THIS #aren’t they want to make bandmen to look at them? #I mean it would make more sense if they wore their best outfits #or they want to show like #hey I’m spending my salary on you! look at me! #anyway I never was on a gazette concert and as they say when in Rome do as the romans do

Has it really been six months? Only six months? Six very long, brutal months? The optimistic part is that we are finally entering a warmer spring season, the first since then. Atsushi always said he liked the gaudiest flowers the best. Go outside and see all the brightly colored gardens. But also, we're all entering a new chapter where the future is uncertain. It's scary out there now. I hope we can all be there to see what that future holds. May we all live our truths, like Atsushi did.

#it's been such a nice day today I didn't realize the six-month mark was right around the corner #trying to remain totally optimistic about it despite all the recent feelings about mortality lately #I hope we can all witness the future of Buck-Tick and all our other favorite bands and not have to keep suffering #please stop killing off bandmen they're just babies #buck-tick #my arts (I drew this last october)

vkei fans on twitter must be studied. something aint right there

#txt #i have never experienced parasocial bullshit to such a degree #i know it's to be expected in a scene that puts a lot of emphasis on bandman-fan interactions. but it's still quite weird idk #it still gets way weirder than it needs to be #i'm not perfect with this obviously but i like to keep that degree of separation between me and the bandmen i idolize #it should not be painful to acknowledge that for many of us we don't know these men personally and probably never will

[wriochilde]

tiktok vkei fans have to be some of the most irritating people on earth

#'you cant cosplay the bandmen theyre real people' are you being fr #finn.txt

Holy shit you guys I got back all my CDs containing clips, MVs etc that I dled during high school and I cannot wait to get home and see everything that’s on them

#like there is definitely stuff I haven’t been able to find on them #I cannot wait and hoping to share with folks #like. bandmen on tv shows in the early 00s #quartz talks #I rly thought it was all lost so I’m v excited

[thedevilinbloodminor]

So excited that we’re about to finally get some new D’erlanger band photos

#love my fine wine bandmen

so i made a post awhile ago (it's since been deleted because i'm a stupid idiot) about how i saw someone on twitter refer to mana-sama as their "precious smol baby" or something to that effect. i'm still thinking about it.

i actually do think there is a real problem with subconscious (or not) racism in western vkei fan spaces, because they way some people talk about these bandmen is insane. why do y'all think these things are okay to say?

and no, i'm not asian, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why calling a real adult asian man your "baby"/"smol whatever the fuck" is weird and creepy, does it?

#yo it's d :) #mana sama #malice mizer #visual kei #vkei #putting these in the main tags bc y'all need to see this fr #like. why is he your precious baby? he's probably old enough to be your father. #and don't even get me started on the feminization of these bandmen !!! stop calling ur 'honmei'* a housewife. #*i personally don't use the term 'honmei' to refer to my faves but soms of y'all do so. ✌ #[abt the person on twt] and sure maybe they could've been joking but regardless of their intent this is a larger problem across the space

me writing whole essays about kyuho and his music for my tumblr moots vs me in his instagram comments like “nice hair” [six month long radio silence]

#i’m scared to appear too friendly #so i always come off as awkward and emotionless on insta #with other bandmen i can throw a heart at the end and hope it comes off as just a tone indicator with the language barrier #but kyuho speaks english and doesn’t know me #so he would think i was weird

you have no idea how much i wanna scribble on saul goodman's gigantic forehead

[vampyrluver]

I love kaneto juuseis music sm but i fr cannot STAND yhem as people bro i cant evwn listen to them anymore bc of how much i dislike them as dudes

#.txt #it sucks so bad bc i wanna listen to them #but they r just #...... #ugh #that one guy being mad racist on twt #nd ik chill is probably a persona #but his internet presence makes me mad uncomfy bc why does he post this things he does #maybe im too old idk shock value things just dont do it for me #nd ik a lot of the appeal of vkei is the shock value #but i think we should normalize vkei bandmen who r normal <3

i mean the website the shirt patrick is wearing is explicitly for prison abolition and the shirt says abolition for everyone so. maybe not other leftist policies but i feel at the very least it’s not projecting to say patrick believes in prison abolition

oh looking at this website now. yeah i gotta agree you can’t really take that message in a liberal way

#i think i’m just cautious from people trying to make their favorite bandmen out to be more radical than they actually are dhdkfjd #but for now i can say with at least 10% certainty. patrick prison abolition pilled #ask
