[dorliart]

My pictures of Dir En Grey in Paris, Day 1 (22.03.24)~

Day 2 pics here.

(my quick thoughts on the shows below the line)

I went to both Paris shows (VIP on day 1) and it was hands down the best experience of my life so far. So amazing beyond words. To not only meet my favourite band of all-time in the flesh, but to also watch them perform from the front row on the 1st day (and still very close to the stage on day 2) felt so surreal. Seeing them perform some of my favourite songs of all-time (including dead tree, my number 1 favourite song) was so overwhelmingly amazing I cried multiple times. I got acknowledgments from Die, Toshiya, and Kyo for screaming so loudly every time they came to our side of the stage, and I can't describe how affirming it felt. Since yall follow me on here, you know how much this band means to me, and especially Kyo. This man is my biggest inspiration in regards to both his music and his artistic self-expression. I've never been so inspired by a musician before; I've never been this obsessed with a band before. This was a dream come true, one that I never thought could happen. Thank you so much to this most incredible band. No band will ever come close for me.

#I've been so incredibly busy the past month I've barely had time for anything - so this was like a break from reality #and a surreal one at that #thank you so much to this band #and thank you Kyo especially <3 #I'll never be able to express in words just how much they mean to me and what it meant for me to see them live #I'm so grateful I got this opportunity cuz idk when it could ever happen again #sadly I didn't really see Shinya or Kaoru much from my side of the stage both days (especially Shinya) :( but still so grateful <3 #Dir en grey #Paris #France #Europe #March 2024 #mode of withering to death #europe tour 2024 #diru #kyo #die #toshiya #kaoru #shinya #京 #薫 #kyo dir en grey #die dir en grey #toshiya dir en grey #kaoru dir en grey #shinya dir en grey #my pictures

I’ve been bursting with muse, but unable to get a moment to focus on writing. Luckily, I have no plans tomorrow – zero, zilch, nada, nothing – for the approx. four hours between my shift finishing and my pottery class starting. I plan to be here, be queer, and finally get some ic content out. 😤

#i've received so many tasty asks recently and i've been dying to get stuck in 🍽️ #might do a little housekeeping but ic content will take priority #been thinking about rejigging my muse list #maybe making farkas my only primary muse for a time? #it's a question of how far the tiers should reflect my own interests versus reality #though anri is my personal favourite she doesn't get much traction ( sadly ) #dez gets some lovely interest but two primary muses doesn't feel right somehow #i'll have to think about it #◈ — ooc; saddest little baby in the room

What do we know about this show? Do we have any more details about this show?! Maybe SK is gradually coming into a new era of LGBTQI+ acceptance (at least in media)??? 🌈🌈🌈 https://www.allkpop.com/article/2022/05/south-korean-ott-platform-wavve-under-discussion-for-a-new-gay-dating-entertainment-program

I WAS JUST TALKING TO KEVIN ABOUT THIS OMG. Your link (which, allkpop is trash but I'll allow it because there's not much else about this out there):

And here's the text so you ain't even gotta click if you don't wanna.

Oh look boys kissing! No? Identifiable boys close to each other! Definitely gay boys! Still... no?

No seriously I stole that pic straight off of KBIZoom talking about the EXACT SAME SHOW POSSIBILITY - but they had to censor the shots in case anyone thought the models might be ... kinda GAY. I believe we see closer stuff than that on your average Memories DVD:

BUT ANYWAY Kevin and I were discussing it - he brought it up. And I was like "uh BL (boy love) is a huge market, it'd be stupid not to make some bank on it" and he goes, "This is Korea. Boy love as a genre is acceptable here because it's fiction. A reality show with actual people willing to be out on television is going to be a hard sell for both the audience and the potential cast." So I go well what about the fact that they're even considering it then, and he goes,

"Considering, curious about, beginning market research on, all words that mean this is not something that is ready to happen here yet. Maybe in the next administration, but not now. They probably started round-table-ing this idea a year ago, but with Yoon in office? It's not happening. Give it a few years to let the idea simmer and see what the next President does." But my trash white American girl opinion is that of course it would be a great idea -- in theory, it could open some eyes. Except that the conservatives wouldn't watch it. Much like Drag Race here and in Europe, it would be a niche market for the first few years. WATCH ME JUST DIGRESS HERE I DO THAT SOMETIMES

Kim Chi competed on and nearly won Season 8 of RuPaul's Drag Race, and is a Korean man with Korean parents. He is 34 years old and at the time he competed, his mother knew only that he was a gay makeup artist. His father and his brother didn't even know he was gay. And I'm not sure they know now. And this dude lives in Los Angeles by way of Chicago. I can't imagine what his life would be like in Seoul, or Daegu, or Busan. And while Kev agreed that yeah, okay, drag is a step farther, he also said, interestingly, that drag might have been MORE acceptable to his own Korean mother (rest her soul) than having a gay son would have been. Because he could have argued that he was into it for the theater - a bit of Japanese kabuki styling - versus "oh hey eomma I do sexy time with men, woke up gay today, bit fruity."

So the upshot is that gay fiction is one thing, but gay reality is entirely another. We're back to the "we don't talk about those things here, it isn't polite." Enjoying the romantic drama of two young (they're always young, Kevin noted, not being particularly young himself) pretty men is not the same thing as seeing Jungshin from accounting on a dating show.... for GAY PEOPLE. And Kevin pointed out that honestly, even BTS are seen as fictional characters in Korea (and likely elsewhere). The idea that they are real human men with real romantic interests and real sex drives doesn't really fly, there. Not yet, anyway. So the "boy love" aspect is fine, as long as they're young, famous, pretty, and they don't admit to TOO much.

This is okay. ETA: and the above shot is edited, in case anyone didn’t know. See my fictional character point?

This is okay. But if they kissed or came out, that would NOT BE OKAY. And Taekook is not real, but the Jeon Parks are about as loud as they can get what with dropping honorifics like that, so as long as they're riding the line of fiction vs reality they're still okay. Full on reality or even depicting reality, though, is still not okay - at least, not on the Seoul Broadcasting Network (SBS), who censored out the kisses in "Bohemian Rhapsody", the Freddie Mercury biopic as recently as 2021. And that caused some backlash on the internet:

But it hasn't changed a thing on the networks. YET. Maybe someday. Hope springs eternal.

Random fic idea

Last night I woke up cackling to myself after dreaming I saw a movie where a hero went back in time to save the world by stopping a villainous organisation. Only as he went around trying to save the day, the butterfly effect of random things happening made the organisation barely a threat anymore.

The movie kept changing perspectives between the hero (trying to track down information, convince other heroes of the dangers, and his general actions), the organisation (trying/failing to recruit), and the future villains (whose lives were being disrupted both of the above)

One major villain had his tragic backstory prevented, one got poached by a antihero before she turned villain, one got arrested through mistaken identity over a crime they didn't even commit, and two powerhouses met early and were so busy fighting/flirting that they didn't end up as villains because they were too busy pulling each others pigtails pissing each other off!

So the hero's prior knowledge was pretty much useless and in the end the powerhouse 'couple' took down the organisation themselves because they both noticed the other was paying too much attention to them and got pissed off!

The last scene was the hero staring in confusion at a report of the successful take-down of the very organisation he came to stop, another hero placing a bet on how long it would take the powerhouses to get together, and the antihero walking in to introduce her new partner.

I'm now very disappointed that this does not exist because I want to watch it again :'D

#I'm not saying I'm perfect; but I'm saying I can at least cite places where I've changed my mind when given new evidence #I used to be hardline pacifist; shut down all military everywhere type thinking #but I saw the horror of what was happening in Ukraine #and it didn't take much for me to see that the only solution was to give them the weapons to defend themselves with #and sadly that means I have to admit that weapons manufacture does serve a purpose and is required even if it shouldn't be #and it means... fucking having to admit the DOD needs to exist even though I hate them #doesn't mean I don't get to think that they need to... you know... pass a fucking audit #and doesn't mean I don't think they need to be reigned in; that there's dangers to opaque cultures like military culture #and it doesn't mean... doesn't mean I like the army or the military industrial complex #just that... as I understand more about defense economics and logistics... I against what I want to see #begin to see points to making large numbers of missiles and shit because... quantity of production can bring prices down #you can end up getting a lot more for the same price; and... and you can sell them; which again I morally oppose but... #I'm coming to accept is just a fact of life when you have people willing to invade their neighbor #maybe you should sell them some weapons; recoup some of the insane spending you've done; and give them tools to defend themselves #I fucking changed my mind on this despite frankly finding it all abhorrent and thinking the US is run like a shit show #because sometimes the reality of things has to win out over what I think should be the reality of things #and sometimes the wellbeing of Ukrainians outweighs if I believe in war or not #I may not fucking be close to perfect; and there's probably plenty of places I'm wrong about shit #hell; even here I could actually somehow be wrong #(though I'm sorry... it's hard to see the people suffering horribly and not think they need to be able to defend themselves) #but at least I fucking am capable of changing my mind... which I feel like is more than some of you #you'll never fucking acknowledge that you might be doing great great great harm based purely on belief #while I in disagreeing with you at least admit I could be wrong but am acting on my best information #at least I fucking stumble and grope my way through life without the knowledge of good and evil #I'd far rather than then boldly stomp my way through life so certain I'm right; the bodies under my boots be damned #fuck you for your dogmatic points of you; and worst of all fuck you for not even meaning to be cruel or cause pain #yet still closing your eyes to any pain you do cause because you know you're actually right #you spin every last thing that defies what you believe till it only reinforces it #and I see no way to get you to sit down at the table and try and figure out what's best for everyone #because you'd just boldly proclaim you already knew and demand I agree
