I truly honestly understand what the hell Ashton was thinking in that moment and cannot find myself to be mad at them. When you spend your life in pain already, there is no threat or fear of more. It's all the same, really. Especially when this way you could use it to help the people you love and, finally, make that pain worthwhile.

So Hercules came out June 13th 1997 and Mulan came out June 5th 1998, and I think those two movies releasing when I was between the ages of 6 and 7 definitively created 95% of my personality.

waking up each morning with indescribable pain since I was age 15 has changed me irreversibly - no dream of mine is stronger than the desire to be pain free again. it's killing me.

longish post where i ramble about my thoughts on the relationship between Scars (2021) and COMFLEX (2023) by Stray Kids
Scars by Stray Kids, 2021
COMFLEX by Stray Kids, 2023
While Scars is more about embracing the bad times to work towards a brighter future and Comflex is more about embracing one’s weaknesses and fears and accepting them, kind of turning them into strengths, I do like to think about the concept of Comflex being a kind of sequel to Scars.
Scars is a song set in bad times where things seem hopeless, and you feel bad about yourself, you feel like things can’t get better. So Scars talks about keeping hope for a better future, despite one’s scars in the journey that you’re taking. Despite all the hurt you’re experiencing, all the emotional wounds, you persevere for better times ahead.
Comflex is like, the epitome of confidence in song form. You accept your imperfections as parts of yourself and you accept the scars of your past. It feels like the future of Scars to me, like you’ve found your success and confidence. This is the brighter future you worked towards in Scars. And now you’re more confident to show the “scars” of your past, the emotional pain, the perceived weakness, because that’s part of you. Your scars, your pain, your weaknesses are all a part of you and thats fine, and that can even be your strength.
I feel like both songs kind of speak on showing and being at peace with your pain and weakness, and showing that to the world without letting it be something that drags you down, but rather lifts you up. Scars feels like the beginning of that—hopeful, persevering. Comflex feels like the future—confident, comfortable. Both songs display weaknesses being your strength. Strength to persevere, strength to show the world what you’re made of. Your weaknesses ARE your strength.
did i mention how much i love stray kids lyrics and song writing !!!!!
