On behalf of the whole team, we apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

r/EmptyBottles · Posted by u/raindrops175 2 hours ago Tokyo N2 replacement show encore set

Hi there, does anyone know if there's going to be an encore set for the replacement show on Saturday (April 6th)? A friend and I are going but there hasn't been any notice with our tickets or anything? Does anyone know how it works?

MetroMoon · 1 hr. ago Typically, they have QR codes or links at the venue that redirect you to a site where you have until the intermission to nominate and vote songs. I tried the link again the day after and the site was gone so IDK if they'll have it since there wouldn't be a programmed one for Sat

nicotokis332 · 1 hr. ago honestly OP i wouldn't hold my breath, lina would cut it to head over to suzuka lmao summersweettea1389 · 37 min. ago one thing i know about that girl is that she loves being on that stage more than any man in existence

Anonymous: Hi! Can I request the re8 ladies + mia and how they would react to a reader with a southern twang/accent? (I have a horrible southern accent and often get picked on for it lol)

Bruh, sameeee. I’m originally from Georgia. The amount of times my accent has been picked on is astounding. I’ve tried to train myself out of my accent, but that only goes so far. My extended family from Ireland think it’s cute, though. Everyone assumes I’m a dumbass conservative because of it (I’m not. I’m literally a progressive trans woman but way to generalize, lmao). Let’s get into it!

Alcina:

She absolutely thinks it’s charming.

She could listen to you talk for hours.

To be completely honest, though… She thought you would be kind of dumb when she first heard you speak.

She loves to hear you sing as well.

Definitely a fan. She’s met a few Americans in her travels as a Jazz singer, but never anyone with this kind of accent.

Donna:

She thinks it’s very sexy. Especially when you whisper in her ears during… Adult stuff.

She has never heard an accent like this. It makes her knees go weak.

You love when a bit of her Italian accent creeps in, so this is a fair tradeoff.

She just wants to pinch your cheeks sometimes, you are too cute.

Makes you a stetson hat, for sure.

Miranda:

She actually has a bit of a hard time understanding you at first.

Add that to some of the slang from home? She’s… Confused.

Over time, she learns your quirky phrases and gets better at knowing what you’re saying.

Silly birb.

She loves when you drop your voice to a husky whisper and tell her “You’re just about the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen, darlin’.”

Bela:

She is in love with your accent. It’s definitely one of her favorite perks of dating you.

She very much enjoys when you read out loud to her. She gets so wrapped up in your delivery that she could spend hours just listening to you speak and not even know it.

Bela likes to hear you talk about home and the adventures you had before meeting her.

She can never get enough of your voice.

Cassandra:

At first, Cass makes fun of you a bit. An American southern accent in rural Romania? She had never heard anything like it.

She gets over her culture shock when she hears you say certain words. It just makes her spine tingle and she wants more.

Cass asks you to sing her to sleep a few times. Your voice is so soothing.

She can’t hear this accent anywhere else in the village, so she is hyper-aware when you do speak and tries to soak it all up.

Daniela:

She totally gushes over your accent.

She feels like she’s in a romance novel.

Of course Dani thinks your accent is a turn on (She’s a pro at sexualizing things)

She bought you fuckin’ ass-less chaps and a lasso so you could wrangle her and tie her up. You tell Dani no and laugh at her idea. She was disappointed and still wanted you to do it. You eventually gave in.

Mia:

So, I think Mia’s actually from Texas originally, but I might be wrong so don’t quote me on that.

She is an American so she’s kind of used to southern accents and isn’t quite as caught off guard as the other ladies.

She still loves the way you talk, though. It’s so uniquely you and she’s definitely a fan of it.

She loves when you call her pet names like “Babe” or “Sweetheart” with your accent. It makes her melt.

Penny poll round 1 match 9

Penny Crygor (WarioWare) vs Penny (Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog)

Propaganda under the cut

Penny Crygor (WarioWare)

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv-9tXSNBHc

<- Her theme song

——

• She's got her hair tied up in braids,

and glasses perched up on her face.

She is a small girl, takin' on a big world,

with inventions she made!

And though her plans may go awry,

she's gonna get back up and try.

Gonna be a shining star, she's going far, Penny!

——

• she's literally so penny. she's so fun she's an inventor that wants to become a pop star and I LOVE HER

——

• 1. she's cute as heck

2. she's a mad scientist inventor

3. she's trans-coded as fuck, she wants to be a singer and invented a potion to give herself a singing voice but when her grandpa drank it it raised the pitch of his voice

4. her theme song in Get It Together is AMAZING and her jet tank one ability is really fun

Penny (Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog)

• she’s an incredible and tragic character whose love and trust gets her killed in the end. also Dr horrible is a very underrated media in general I want her to win

——

• Ordinary person in a supervillain story, just wants to shelter people and do her laundry. Relatable!

——

• She’s a sexy lamp but boy is she a cutie

——

• She’s the only genuinely good person in the whole show. She’s sweet and very naive. Love her <3

——

• Penny is an extremely empathetic and caring person. She works at a homeless shelter and is gentle and friendly with everyone there. She meets the main character at a laundromat and immediately becomes a very supportive and encouraging friend. Her goal throughout the narrative is to open a second location of the shelter so she can help more people. She has a sad backstory of not being accepted when she was younger and has learned to focus on optimism to make it through. Her main flaw is that she tolerates a romantic relationship with a man who doesnt respect her because she isn't well-practiced with respecting herself, but after he takes it too far, she does stand up for herself and walk out on him (growth!)

3, 7, and 12, mista and fugo :3

TONY UNSHADOWBANNED PARTY I know this was from a month ago but I'm gonna answer it anyhow lmfao

(For this ask game)

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

For Mista, the Trish cleavage scene. You know the one. I don't think I have to explain this much. Boy Why Did You Do That. The only good thing to come out of that scene was jaunty jigglesacks + overeager horndog insane psychic damage combo of lines in the dub.

I could take this a lot of ways for Fugo tbh. Because there's a lot of things that drive me insane about him as a person, but looking at him as a character, I LOVE that he's rash and hurts his friends and his defining character moment is him making a selfish, cowardly decision. I guess I'd say his misogyny in Purple Haze Feedback? I'm admittedly a believer that, yes, he would fucking say that, but it sucks that he would. At least he gets better by the end lol. Fugo voice I'm sorry women Sheila E is me

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

I love that Mista has been designated Beautiful Brown-Eyed Bisexual Man by literally the entire fandom. Bi Mista brings us all together. And I do like the idea that his queerness is something he discovered much more slowly, and as a direct result of the gang. Something about that really ties in with the idea of the Bucci Gang as less of a realistic gang, more akin to a drag house or similar queer pseudo-family. Credit to that concept to Fox figcookie01 btw this is one of my favorite Vento Aureo analyses ever and it really informs how I conceptualize the Bucci Gang. Anyhow.

I also really like when people actually take care to explore his character and make him a very distinct, smarter-than-he-looks, older brother-type figure. It's really interesting when people explore his spirituality, too, whatever religion that may be, because that's a pretty important part of him. AND also OCD Mista truthers who know when to treat his superstitions and compulsions with some weight I love you forever. I think he's a character that gets watered down in fanworks a lot, but when his characterization's good, it's really good. There's plenty of artists and writers that have really blown me away with their Mista (and I say this as someone who's picky about characterization lol)

With Fugo, first of all. The PHF scars. Another thing that Mandela Effected the PHF fandom, but it's so so important to me. I love you physical, tangible, blatantly visible proof that Fugo has grown as a person since the day he abandoned the gang. Awesome. I also like that people mix and match his manga/anime colors, and every artist kinda draws him in a different way.

My favorite thing is probably the Fugo-Abbacchio stepkid and stepparent/siblings/Big Goth and Baby Emo Who Secretly Looks Up To Them dynamic. It’s awesome when it’s cartoonishly antagonistic and it’s awesome when it’s actually very sweet and heartfelt. Out of all the Bucci Gang dynamic interpretations the fandom’s produced, theirs is one of my favorites <3

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

SO MANY FOR BOTH OF THEM LOL. But I’ll try to list some I don’t talk about as much.

Besides The Carpenters, Mista’s a big fan of folk, acoustic singer-songwriter pop, and soft classic R&B/gospel. Artists with really strong voices tend to catch his attention. The Mamas and the Papas, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Simon and Garfunkel, The Seekers, and Gordon Lightfoot are some of his favorites. He’s also just a big sucker for love songs in general, and the hopeless romantic in him loves old girl groups like The Ronettes and The Shirelles. He’s also very much Schrödinger’s Guy to me. Cis? Trans? Who knows. Depends on what the situation calls for (though more often trans to me as of late). He’s just Some Dude.

Fugo’s a surprisingly good singer, but he’ll rarely do it if he knows other people are listening. A lot of times, he’ll sing in the shower, or when he’s alone in the car. As he gets older, he gets less self-conscious about it, and he’ll sing around the house when he’s with Giorno, or do duets with Mista for fun. There are also very much timelines in the Vento Aureo Multiverse in my brain where Fugo’s transfem. This also tends to coincide with transfem Abbacchio timelines, so there’s another layer added to Fugo looking up to Abbacchio, and I think Giorno (always transmasc to me) is really instrumental in helping her work through things and take pride in her transness. Maybe a little bit of a self-indulgent fluffy comfort hc that helps me work though my own genderisms lol

#ohh i missed my guys <- thinks about them every day #i need to talk about mista fugos more. blog policy everyone can send me mista fugos asks anytime btw. #jjba #jjba headcanons #pannacotta fugo #guido mista

In honour of trans day of visibility, I'm promoting this fundraiser!!

Tom is a trans man from the UK who is having top surgery in May. He's also the singer of one of my favourite queercore bands and favourite bands in general, The Oozes. I went to a live show of theirs last year, and they're just as good live as they are in recordings. However, he's just over half way to his total, which he needs to get to by May. Even if you can't help, reblogging to boost helps too.

A hoard of Raven Queen and Dexter Charming Headcanons <3

Raven Queen:

☆ Bi (Masc Pref) + Ace + Transfem (She/Her)

When her mom found out she was trans she was genuinely so glad she wouldn't have to hand her destiny down to a man

She's known since she was really little + her parents are really supportive (Even if the Evil Queen is kinda supportive for the wrong reasons, she's got the spirit)

☆ Started a band with Melody and Cedar

She's the lead guitarist + singer

I imagine them to have kind of like. TV Girl mixed with La Femme type music

It kind of started out of spite because of Sparrow- But they all really enjoyed it so they stuck together :]

Sometimes they get a gig at Briar's parties

☆ Dex fell for her first but Raven fell for them HARDER she loves her gf so much

☆ After Legacy Day she stays inside a lot more often

She HATES all the people looking at her and feels that staying inside is the only way to deal with it

Sometimes her friends can drag her out for a gathering but it usually needs to be a small one (Briar sometimes throws smaller parties on Apple's request so she can get some social time comfortably)

☆ She DESPERATELY needs therapy but whenever she tries they just try to get her to sign the book so she ends up just walking out + giving up

☆ She's around 5'11" and is one of the few that doesnt really like heels, she prefers more comfy shoes

☆ She's got kind of a whimsigoth aesthetic going, and she generally tries to wear minimal chain accessories (when she has more than a few it makes her think too hard about mirror prison and what she saw on Legacy Day, its a very vivid memory for her)

☆ 99% of the time she keeps her mirrors covered unless she's actively getting ready and needs it

This one is kind of canon?? She hates mirrors because she doesn't want to be vain like her mom

But I picture it to be mostly because she looks so much like her mom, she often gets kind of scared by it

She also probably fears that somehow her mom is going to break out through her mirrors or something along those lines

Dexter Charming:

☆ Bi (generally prefers girls) + Transfem (she/they and very rarely he)

Came out to friends (+ Siblings) late Legacy Year

She talked about it lotsss with Darling and still does

Daring had no clue what she was talking about but he got it eventually

☆ Tried contacts ONCE and she hated it (they almost got stuck because she couldn't touch her eye)

☆ She still wears the "Vote 4 Maddie" pin

Its exclusively because Raven gave it to her

☆ Can frequently be caught leaving Raven's room with a bunch of purple lipstick kiss marks on her face

"Babe PLEASE get something kiss-proof I beg you"

"Neverrrrr >:3"

☆ Since Raven prefers to stay in, she likes to bring Raven little treats from restaurants she likes

They spend lots of time having little movie nights and study dates in Raven's dorm (which Apple doesn't mind)

☆ Her fav free time activity is building computers for people + she's been paid to upgrade some school computers before (which she's very proud of)

I just KNOW she's got a great setup in her dorm and she put a lot of it together herself

She also built Raven something custom for her music + so they can play games together

☆ Her and Humphrey get hired to do a lot of tech jobs around the school

Helping Blondie with her mirrorcast

Thronecoming/Prom votes

Theater tech (if there is a theater club, I can't remember)

Headmaster Grimm's announcements

And probably more- They're the tech geniuses of the school

☆ Her side of the dorm is like. Really nerdy

Displayed comics, her fancy computer, action figures, movie posters, etc

Its a very big contrast to Hunter's side of the room that's for sure-

#a lot of ravens are kinda angsty oops #ive been meaning to put all of these into a big post #theyve been rotting away in my notes app for a while #its not art but its something!!! #dexter charming #eah #eah royals #ever after high #transfem dexter charming #eah rebels #eah raven #ever after high raven #raven queen #eah dexter #ever after high dexter #eah headcanons #ever after high headcanons

[4dorks-1windmage-1shadow]

Would you be willing to do the most recent headcanon list you reblogged for each of the colors?

I already did Red but I'll do the other four here

Sexuality Headcanon:

Green - Bisexual & Polyamorous (this will be a trend)

Blue - Pansexual & Polyamorous

Vio - Bisexual & Demi-romantic/Polyamorous

Shadow - Pansexual & Polyamorous

Gender Headcanon:

Green - Cis male

Blue - Cis male

Vio - Genderfluid, sometimes trans (again, modern AUs)

Shadow - Genderfluid/nonbinary what is a gender he doesn't care to know

A ship I have with said character:

Green/Vaati i LOVE hero/villain dynamics, they are golden retriever/grumpy drama king to me, their relationship is "me + the bad bitch i pulled by being effortlessly kind/charming/funny/humble/gay" instagram captions.

Blue/Everyone. The secret to Blue is that he actually cares SO MUCH, but if anyone calls him out on it he will die on the spot. This is tragic and inevitable (he is bad at hiding it)

Vidow is my ultimate OTP, they are so fascinating to me i want to put them in a blender set it to high and then watch it go nuts. They are toxic and co dependent and would kill for each other and also kill each other too. 100/10 ship I'm a Vidow apologist and i will die on this hill

Is it cheating to say i ship all of them together? They can be one big polycule as a treat

A BROTP I have with said character:

Green and Shadow. Unstoppable force (Shadow) meets immovable object (Green). They have oldest sibling/youngest sibling energy

Blue and Green is also good, they have a bromance unlike anything the world has ever seen. They are always pushing each other to be better and also doing the dumbest stunts for the vine

Vio and Vaati would be infodump pals. They started talking about magic theory at 10 in the morning over breakfast and are still talking about it at 1 am the next day

A NOTP I have with said character:

Literally the only character i can think of is Tingle.

A random headcanon:

Green - my most consistent hc across all AUs/canon is that he has head to toe freckles.

Blue - given a modern AU, Blue joins theater as a way to deal with his anger issues. Not only does it work, but he ends up with a passion for the performing arts as a result

Vio - he has crippling anxiety and is a chronic over thinker. He needs Xanax and a nap.

Shadow - given a modern AU, Shadow is the lead guitar/singer/screamer in a rock band (Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce the Veil, AS IT IS aesthetic/sound), and he can also play almost any instrument that he picks up. He has a huge collection of instruments.

General Opinion over said character:

Green - the funniest thing I've ever seen is people saying that Green wouldn't cheat in a fight RE: my "who would win in a fight" polls and like you're all valid and all OBJECTIVELY wrong, he cheats in the fight against Vio at Death Mountain. He may have morals but he is not lawful good

Blue - I miss him. Where are the blue centric fanfics. Come back from the war please. Someone put this idiot in situations

Vio - perfect amzing beautiful showstopping spectacular always original awful awful man his veins are filled with anxiety instead of blood and i want him dissected by the fandom immediately

Shadow - scrunkly. Shaped. I want to hug him and never let go

Hi! It's me, waking up from a nice nap to give my lovely mutuals, but especially @khaofirsts @hushedstars @drama-nonsense (the amazing people who accepted my letter-delivering proposal lol) my detailed experience in the FirstKhao fanmeet in Brazil!

So, I only got there by 3:45pm, and the gates would open to the general audience by 4pm (only the people who got VIP1 — the ones y'all probably saw taking solo pictures with First and Khaotung — got to enter earlier) and oh my God the lines were LONG. It was a bit more organized than how it was earlier (in the morning there was only one giant line that was divided by sectors in the afternoon) and the temperature was very nice, not as nearly as hot as it was the day before. Here, it was just a few minutes before it started:

One thing I want to emphasize so much is that there were so many different kinds of people there! Usually in events like this, with asian celebrities, the crowd tends to be more white, female presenting, more emo/punk vibes, and definitely more lgbtq+, but my guys, when I say there were people of all types, I MEAN IT. There were some nice ladies (that were probably 50+) cheering so much in the line, at first I thought they were mothers accompanying their kids but NO, they were fans! There were also a lot of men too, and gender non conforming people, trans people, you name it!

There were also many black and asian people, although white and white presenting people were still the majority (also, many photos may have you think there were only white and whiteish people but the lights that lit the crowd were so strong they basically made everyone look pale lol).

There were also many people from other countries. There were two guys (i believe they are a couple) that I have no idea where they were from, they only talked to staff in english but to each other they spoke some language I have no idea. There were also many latam groups, I saw some girls from paraguay, I know there was a group from Chile too, and there were probably more that I haven't seen. The crowd was DIVERSE!

But enough of all this pre fanmeet talk, let's get to the real stuff!

My moots. Dear moots. I almost lost my hearing /j. We were so loud, and we always are, it's basically cultural of Brazil to be louder than the artist, but last night was something else. Everyone was so excited, really, it is a different atmosphere.

The boys were so, so nervous! It was very easy to see how nervous they were in the beginning, but I think they got a lot more relaxed as the fanmeet went on. When they first entered singing, oh my god... They really got so surprised we were singing so loudly, I bet y'all have seen the footage already, it's all over twitter. They couldn't believe what they were seeing lol

Just a tiny video I took of part of their introduction (IN ALMOST PERFECT PORTUGUESE MIGHT I ADD) — bear with me I own a 6-year-old samsung and I was in the box seats, the quality won't be qualitying lmao (I made a friend while waiting in line and she'll send me some of her videos, thankfully)

I was kinda shocked, yet not really shocked, when I noticed that First wasn't singing live. Like I get it, we all know he isn't really a singer, and considering this was their largest event (by number of people: ~4k), they probably thought that it would be better that way. In any case, I don't think people really minded at all. We scream so loudly anyway that live or not, we would barely hear it lmao and he was such a charismatic performer, he interacted with everyone he could in the standing crowd. Mr. Kanaphan is a tease, you all!!!

Idk if that was just me but Khaotung sounded a little bit rough in his song, which he sang live. Maybe he had a sore throat? No idea, but by the last song (let's try) he sounded very good. Maybe it was recorded, but I really didn't noticed. Their stage presence got better and better at every song. AND RAPPER KHAOTUNG? OKAY! GIVE ME SOME MORE OF THAT!!!

The questions and games were very fun! I'm not the type that like much fanservice (all of this was fanservice, I know, but like, those obvious one, you get me?) but they were really nice and not much forced. The questions were also very nice and well-curated (no nonsense ship questions), although I think there were a couple of questions the translator didn't understand fully (also, we were screaming so much I can't blame her for not hearing) and she probably translated to them wrong/not complete, so their answers were a bit weird but we understood what they meant. Also, they tried to samba! The crowd singing Zeca Pagodinho! So random... poor boys were so, so awful lmao but we can forgive them because they're cute

The game interactions with the two fans were also really nice! The girls were very polite (one of them was very young and timid, poor thing) and yeah, it was cool *alexa, play "That Should Be Me" by Justin Bieber*

The surprise fan video was so wholesome. I was almost tearing up lol and when, in the video, a deaf fan appeared signing how much she loved them I lost it and just started crying. Really, they are such great people and their talent has entertained and inspired so many different groups, it really is heartwarming.

Okay, now for the picture: Look, I was in a trance like state. I have absolutely no idea how I got on that stage to take the photo. I was the last one of the group so I couldn't sit next to them, but I believe I got to be somewhat behind Khaotung? I remember seeing the top of his head. Oh my god I really blanked out

As for the hi touch, it was so fast I kinda also did not register much? My brain really was malfunctioning. What I can remember is: They aren't as tall as I thought? Like, I don't think they are lying about their height, I just realized I'm not as short as I thought lol I am 168cm and, with the shoes I was wearing I was probably ~171cm. Still shorter but not as short as I somehow thought I would be.

Their hands are soft. Very soft. Also, their skin literally is flawless, everyone was commenting how perfect it was, just like porcelain. I don't know what treatments they do, and what makeup they use, but I need the detailed list right now!

Also, fuck my life: I can try to say anything, literally anything, but when I get in front of celebs the only thing I can mutter is "hi" with a giant smile. What the fuck I couldn't even say something like "i love you" or "you're handsome".... NO. I JUST SAID HI AND LEFT 😭😭😭

Okay, that's pretty much how it went. Oh, and as I was waiting for my uber to arrive, and I was more distant from the venue so I could avoid the crowd. I was in the street right in front of the gates of the venue, but still more distant, there were probably like 10 people around me. I heard so many people screaming at the entrance of the venue — firstkhao were going back to the hotel (you can see the van in an earlier post of mine). They entered the van and then the van was signaling they were going to turn left to the same street I was waiting the uber. Oh. My. God. I started waving like crazy, they could not have missed me looking like those gas station inflatable men lmao I couldn't see them because the window was very dark but boy I just know they saw me again 😂😂😂😂

To finish up, as the official photo wasn't released yet, let me show where I am in the gmmtv pic. Look at top left where the arrows are pointing. See the two hands? That's me, baby

Happy Pride! 💖🌈🦄

Happy Pride, everyone!

I wanted to celebrate Pride this year by sharing some great up-beat queer anthems - songs from some of the groundbreaking queer artists who have been raising their voices to make the world a better place every day. Let's celebrate diversity together! 😘

Domo Wilson - Bisexual Anthem

Domo Wilson should really be the one to start the Pride festivities this year, with this amazing, amazing, amazing Bisexual Anthem. Songs like this are rare - great message AND good song. This woman is fucking brilliant. (Sexually explicit lyrics).

Brenda Fassie - Vuli Ndlela

Africa's first openly gay pop star Brenda Fassie is an incredible talent. Her voice, her style, everything about the way she sings is utterly captivating, compelling and packed full of emotion - whether it be joy or misery.

I discovered her a while back and had that tragic modern experience of falling in love with an artist and then immediately being pitched into grief as I learned about her difficult life and too early death.

Some of you might be familiar with the Chinese term, 'jaiyou' which literally means 'add oil' or more generally, 'go for it!' Vuli ndlela is a similar term that means 'make way!'

The song is about sticking it to gossipy neighbours on her son's wedding day (because they thought he'd never marry and find lasting love), but over the years it has become a popular anthem of empowerment and encouragement.

Troye Sivan and Gordi - Wait

Who can resist a dreamy, sweet duet with two queer darlings?

Muna - Pink Chiffon (feat. Phoebe Bridgers)

I've shared this song before on my blog but it's such a sweet, catchy, up-beat song it deserves to be shared again.

Beth Ditto - We Could Run

One of the greatest - and most consistently and criminally underrated - voices in music.

Kehlani - Altar

This isn't an artist I've followed in the past, but this particular song is so infectious, I absolutely love it.

Shae Diamond - I Am Her

In her own words:

"My name is Shea Diamond, Singer/Songwriter based in NYC by way of Flint, MI. I was born into a gender role that I did not accept & I didn’t feel like myself. Desperate to find the financial means to transition to my true gender, I committed a crime in 1999 & was sentenced to 10 years in a men's prison. While incarcerated, I found a community that shared my trans experience - it was there where I found my voice. I began writing “I Am Her” as a statement to a world that said I shouldn't exist. I wrote it as an anthem for all those that felt shunned for simply being who they were. In 2009 I was released from prison. Shortly after my release, I moved to New York City where I found a studio to record “I Am Her” and the means to create a video for my song."

Ria Mae - Bend

Canadian pop sensation Ria Mae, yet another criminally underrated artist whose work speaks for itself. Let's give her some love as her home town and province have been suffering intense and dangerous wildfires, and destruction to homes and wildlife habitat.

Janelle Monae - Lipstick Lover

I don't even need to say anything about this song that this stupid-ass 'age restriction' bullshit doesn't already say. 😅

It's worth the trip to YouTube.

Erasure - A Little Respect

I'll close this off with one of the best gay anthems ever written, and one of my all-time favorite songs. Never has it felt more relevant than it does today, with all the hate being thrown at queer people, all the backward redneck laws, all the churchy dicks trying to destroy the lives of people they don't understand. Like the line in the song:

What religion or reason Could drive a man to forsake his lover?

What indeed?

Happy Pride everyone! 💖

YouTube playlist of these songs.

Vanitas Headcanons

General Headcanons that have no relevancy at all but I brainrot these on a daily basis.

If you see typos— no you didn't

TW: mentions of death and some Lightly-angsty Headcanons!

EDIT: I spelt so many things wrong WHOOPS I swear I know how to english

✎... VANITAS

⌛ Vanitas has itty bitty freckles all over his face, they weren't very noticeable but they're there

⌛ He is very good at knife juggling and lives for the thrill of it

⌛ Because I live for the Trans!Vanitas Headcanons and fancy ass scars; his scars oddly look like little wonky hour glasses

⌛ if Vanitas were to be in a relationship I feel like he isn't much of a PDA person; so he gets all funny when he's genuinely being shown affection in front of people.

⌛ for the Vanoè shippers and piggyback from the PDA Headcanons; I feel like Vanitas loves to just sit on the roof; he won't go out if his way to cuddle Noè or anything, but enjoys his company

⌛ for the VaniJeanne shippers; listen. Vanitas will let Jeanne do his makeup.

⌛ In a Modern-Day setting, in terms of music, I feel like Vanitas would like MCR; but also REALLY likes The Oozes

⌛ Vanitas is a musical guy because he just- radiates theatre kid. He likes the Falsettos :D

✎... NOÈ

🐱 I like to think Noè used to have a speech impediment when he was younger

🐱 Boi stims and likely has ADHD.

🐱 When he stims; he usually waves his hands around, shakes Vanitas or stomp in place

🐱 He can repeat "uhm uhm uhm uhm" for a minute straight until he remembers what he is thinking; and it pisses everyone (But Domi) off

🐱 for the Vanoè shippers, but I'm throwing in some angst. While Noè crushes on Vanitas (before a relationship), I feel like Noè tends to stare at Vanitas while on the rooftop and internally recites thousands of poems, but never speaks them.

🐱 When Noè gets Into a relationship with Vanitas, He leaves small pieces of the poems he's written around their room for Vanitas to find

🐱 For the DomiNoè shippers, I feel like Noè gives her the BEST hugs and cuddles you've EVER seen and is like her backpack

🐱 When Noè is in a relationship bc why tf not; you bet your ass he traces over ALL of his partners scars

🐱 Did I say I'm a Vanoè shipper? Well— more angst. In the end when Noè marks Vanitas, they come to a mutual understanding; but they embrace eachother for the last memory :) I can't think of anything sadder than that so that's for the softies (aka me)

🐱 Noè is a book dragon; he reads when he suddenly gets the motivation but he loves to hoard books because he thinks hell read them but never does

✎... JEANNE

🌹 She loves roses; she feels like a rose girl

🌹 In modern times; She's also a theatre kid- but she loves all the niche musicals.

🌹 her favorite singer is Aurora :) and she LOVES Tomm Moore movies

🌹for the VaniJeanne shippers, She loves to braid his hair and get him all pampered up

🌹 She gets sunburned very easily

🌹She's very sensitive to STRONG aroumas so she likes the subtlety

🌹Jeanne daydreams a lot when she has absolutely nothing to do

🌹(VaniJeanne) When Jeanne is in a relationship with Vanitas; she definitely makes sure to take care of him and is constantly checking up on him and giving him constant reminders that she does indeed love him

🌹Her love language is probably Words of Admiration and Physical touch

🌹She stims as well but they're usually little whistles and fiddling with sensory objects; these only happen when she's anxious and flustered

🌹For the DomiJeanne shippers; Jeanne loves to do Domi's first date was at a greenhouse then a Cafe.

🌹 Again for the DomiJeanne Shippers; Jeanne is the big spoon.

🌹 Jeanne would play DnD and always plays either the little and chaotic menaces or the big and gentle cutie patooties

✎... DOMINIQUE

I had a bunch of things for Domi but I had a blank while writing these

🗡 Bc I am; Domi is near sighted. It isn't TOO bad but it certainly is annoying

🗡 Domi is a secret bookworm and finds it so relaxing to read with a nice cup of tea

🗡 Domi used to take fencing classes and was really good? Listen girlie wields a sick rapier she DEFINITELY had practice ((this isn't even a Headcanon tbh))

🗡 Domi used to use Noè for practice

🗡 Domi doesn't like putting her hair up but is okay with doing braids or other types of hairstyles

🗡 Domi has a birthmark that looks to have matched Louis's :)

🗡 Domi, in Modern, would ALSO play DnD but dm's for Jeanne

🗡 Domi loves PDA :) romantic or platonic

🗡 I like to think Noè is her soulmate, both in a romantic and platonic sense

Fame AU w Trans Regulus getting famous from singing Eat Me by Demi Lovato w his band mates, Barty Crouch Jr., Evan Rosier, and Dorcas Meadows.

Like Regulus would be lead singer/frontman (sometimes he also plays violin), Dorcas gives me hella drummer vibes- that or lead guitar and back up vocals. Barty is def the lead guitar, but him and Cas are interchangeable. Evan is bass and piano.

They all kinda do backup vocals or sing for some songs depending, and they’ll write songs together, although most are done by Regulus and the band manager, Pandora Rosier.

Be more predictable

Be less political

Not too original

Keep to tradition, but stay individual

Dirty but washable

Winning but stoppable

All that I'm hearing is you wanna

Make the impossible possible

This is purely Barty’s verse, are you kidding me? Like he wrote this after after his father went big in politics, which of course, his son was against because his father is a dickhead.

Is this what you'd all prefer?

Would you like me better if I was still her?

Did she make your mouths water? Ugh

I know the part I've played before

I know the shit that I've ignored

I know the girl that you adored

She's dead, it's time to fucking mourn

I can't spoon-feed you anymore

I can't spoon-feed you anymore

Dinner's served, it's on the floor

I can't spoon-feed you anymore

You'll have to eat me as I am

You'll have to eat me as I am

I feel like this is so Regulus coded that I shouldn’t even point it out💀 he’s talking to his family and the public image he had to play when he was being controlled by his family. “I know the shit I’ve ignored,” def talking about Sirius and his disownment. Just this verse in general screams Regulus.

Clean and digestible (clean and digestible)

Less of a spectacle (less of a spectacle)

Oh, and dimensional

Try to be sexy, but don't be too sexual (don't be too sexual)

Please be presentable (please be presentable)

This one feels like Evan especially the “try to be sexy, but don’t be too sexual,” because I hc him as asexual and I feel like he struggled with that a lot and forced himself to be this sex image to try and hide who he was and so the “please be presentable” feels like a plea to be ‘presentable’ for his family; or ‘normal’ for them.

Bit more accessible (bit more accessible)

Get up on your pedestal

Everyone's watching, so don't be forgettable

Longer hair and tighter clothes

Would you like me better if I didn't oppose?

Silver platters, pretty bows, fuck

I feel like Dorcas definitely wrote this after being told she wasn’t proper simply because of style and because she’s had to face the cruelty and stereotypes that society pushes on woc and that women in general are sexualized as a whole and I think she’d channel her anger in the lyrics.

[queercounterculture]

Another 10 queer punks

1. Gina Schock(on the right, Joan Jett is on the left): lesbian

Gina Schock is the drummer for the Go-Gos and prior to that she was the drummer for “Edie and the eggs” (which was fronted by Edith Massey who was most know for being in John Waters movies).

2. Kristian Hoffman(In the middle between David johansen and Jonathan Richman): gay

Kristian Hoffman was the keyboardist and song-writer for “The Mumps” and also played with “The Contortions” and Lydia Lunch. He was in the 1971 documentary tv series “An American Family” because he was Lance Loud’s (who was the singer of “The Mumps”) best friend.

3. Snuky Tate: gay

Snuky Tate was involved in the San Francisco punk scene and was in a band called “The Alterboys”. Though he recorded a single called “who cares?” that was not with “the Alterboys”. He died in 1998.

4. Cherry vanilla: unknown

Cherry Vanilla is a singer-songwriter and actress. She worked with and dated David Bowie. Too my knowledge she has never specifically stated her sexuality though her keyboardist Zecca Esquibel said “Well, Cherry's act was always a very sexual act. She's gorgeous woman, and known for her sexploits, so it was very easy for her to put into her show an occasional song about her attraction to women. Basically she's heterosexual, but she's had many…ah, I won't say many, I won't put words in her mouth. Cherry had had lesbian experiences with other women and was attracted to women, and occasionally she would sing about it, and ended up with one song on each album. "Foxy Bitch," which was, is about Linda Ronstadt, and "Amanda," on the second album. I can't claim that it's a reference to Amanda Lear, but I think it is, who is the famous sex change that appeared in a lot of Bowie's work.” So I’m not sure exactly how she identifies but it seems as though she’s not 100% straight.

5. Eric Emerson: Bisexual

Eric Emerson was a Warhol actor originally and then was in early glam punk band “The Magic Tramps”. Emerson was openly bisexual. At some point (probably in the 60’s) his father accused him of being “a little sweet” and Eric Emerson’s response to the statement was "What he don't understand is that my generation can swing both ways". He died in 1975 a month before his 30th birthday. The official cause of death was a hit and run though it is more likely he died from a heroin overdose in a different location and then placed on the side of the road.

6. Marie France: trans woman

Marie France is a French singer and actress who was somewhat involved with punk in the 70s, putting out a punk style single “Daisy / Déréglée” in 1977. She was involved with FHAR, Front homosexuel d'action révolutionnaire which in English is Homosexual Front of Revolutionary Action. She was involved in a group called “The Gazolines” and was on the cover of a single by punk band “Gazoline” which was named after the group she was in.

7. Alice Bag: Bisexual

Alice Bag was the singer for the L.A punk band “The Bags”. She has said that David Bowie was was a big influence on her and how she found out that bisexuality was an option “When you’re in your early teens you’re starting to explore sexual feelings. At that point, I thought you either had to be straight or be gay. I didn’t know that you could be bisexual. But when David Bowie talked about it, all of a sudden I thought, That’s how I feel and that’s OK. He’s David Bowie and he’s giving me permission. It was very powerful.”

8. Vaginal Davis(the one in the front) : genderqueer and intersex

Vaginal Davis’s name is a homage to Angela Davis, considering Angela Davis to be one of her biggest inspirations. Vaginal Davis was in multiple bands such as “The Afro Sisters” and “¡Cholita! The Female Menudo” which Alice bag was also a member of. She also helped form the Queercore punk movement of the 80’s and made the zine “Fertile LaToyah Jackson” which was published from 1982 to 1991.

9. Phranc: lesbian

Phranc was in the L.A punk band “Nervous Gender” she was also in the bands “Catholic Discipline” and “Castration Squad”. Around the 80’s she moved away from punk and into folk music, calling herself the “All-American Jewish Lesbian Folksinger".

10. Tom Robinson: bisexual

Tom Robinson was in “The Tom Robinson Band” which was a political band that had many LGBT related songs. For a long time he identified as gay though in 1982 he met Sue Brearley and he would eventually marry her, though he would still identify as gay. In the 90’s he stated "I have much more sympathy with bisexuals now, but I am absolutely not one." Though he now does consider himself bisexual.

[cyronite]

hi cy!!!! 🎵 Tell me about 5 songs you actually listen to. Proceed and send this to 5 people 😌🎵

ZIP!! Hello my beloved friend. ❤️❤️ A lot of songs I listen to are in oc or fic playlists lol. Bc I listen to music a lot when writing or working on art. Also so sorry for rambling, I just really enjoy listening to music.

Glitter & Gold by Barns Courtney Love this song. I don't know how to describe it but it gives me such cowboy walking through life kinda vibes lol. It's in Ann's playlist because I think it suits her very well during the era of after order 66 and her being a bounty hunter while finding her Jedi path again. Always loved and listen to this song before Ann too, it just suits her well.

The Mystic by Adam Jensen I like this song a lot. The beat is awesome and very in your face. I love that about it. The song's about the singer's struggles while growing up and living in Boston. A very heart filled and powerful song with a catchy beat. It's also in Ann's playlist.

"i'm yours" by Isabel LaRosa This song is in my Ann & Boba playlist. So I listen to it a lot when writing and working on their fic. It gives such pinning vibes in general. But I like picturing Ann and Boba to it during their "we're a thing but also not" phase. Where they so obviously want each other and where their souls are already intertwined together beyond belief, but are still just crossing that boundary line of being something more. Wanting that deeper connection.

God Must Hate Me by Catie Turner As someone with religious trauma this song really hits it in the feels for me, and the singer just delivers it in such a beautiful and heart wrenching way. The song is about the singers insecurities and how they felt god hated them. I related to the song similarly but more in a queer and trans person with religious trauma way to be more specific, which is how I actually found it because it went around trans tiktok for a bit lol. I was actually Christian growing up. I'm not religious now. I'd consider myself atheist I think. I don't believe in an god or any spiritual being. I just kind of think we were a creation of the natural world and meant to be apart of its life cycle just like any other living creature. But of course even though I don't believe in god now, there's still that little girl in me who never understand why god couldn't make her normal like everyone else. And this song really hits those feelings in me deeply.

The Good Life by Three Days Grace I wasn't sure what song to pick by Three Days Grace because I listen to a lot of their music. I have pretty much all their CDS and have most of their stuff saved to my Spotify. They were one of my favourite bands growing up because there was never I song I disliked from them. Even when they switched singers. I still listen to a lot of their songs, both new and old.

[TRANS] IU ‘Palette’ Album Introduction and Song Introductions

ALBUM INTRODUCTION

Using small moments to make pretty paints, ‘this right now’ of ‘IU’ is densely filled.

The 4th full-length album of "IU" [Palette] is out!

IU’s fourth full-length album [Palette] has finally been released.

Starting with the first pre-released song "Through the Night", out on the 24th last month, IU lived up to her name by setting a record of ‘Perfect All-Kills’ one after another, starting with the first pre-released song “Through the Night”, followed by her second pre-released song, “Can’t Love You Anymore” with musician ‘OHHYUK’ who is of the same age as her.

IU’s fourth full-length album, [Palette], a new album released in a year and a half since her previous one, is her first full-length album in more than three years and just like the album name ‘Palette’, it contains a variety of music styles and stories, rather than specific genres or styles, as we can guess from the two pre-released songs.

IU’s fourth full-length album [Palette] allows us to discover another transformation of singer IU and the musical growth of producer IU as she worked hard on this album. In addition, in this album, she meets the best musicians of generations and genres such as Lee Byung-woo, Son Sung-je, G-DRAGON, sunwoojunga, OHHYUK and Sam Kim, expanding her musical spectrum, while coloring all her songs with the sensibility of IU and her unique delicate tone and lyrics, making it impossible to determine the musical limitations and colors of the album.

“In the moment when I open my eyes to the dreams I drew that became reality,

another new colour is added to my palette…

This moment is a dream I earnestly drew someday too.

I’ll turn this moment today into pretty paints and continue to draw my dreams’

- 2016 IU Concert ‘One Two Three Four’-

‘This right now’ of ‘IU’ is filled with pretty paints made of the small moments of the 10-year-old artist or 25-year-old ‘Lee Jieun’ and what kind of painting she will complete on this white ‘Palette’ with these new music and paints, is up to the listeners who have been waiting for her new album for a long time.

SONG INTRODUCTIONS

01 이 지금 (dlwlrma)

Composed by Kim Je-hwi

Lyrics by IU

Arranged by Kim Je-hwi

A pop jazz track that shows off a brilliant chord progression, this song was composed by Kim Je-hwi, who showed great chemistry with IU several times, including in “Through the Night” and “Heart” and the lyrics are written by IU. It's a song with the lovely message that nothing else but right now, here, we are amazingly shining and beautiful.

02. 팔레트 (Palette) (Feat. G-DRAGON) (TITLE)

Composed by IU

Lyrics by IU

Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon

Rap Making by G-DRAGON

This is a sensuous, yet cozy synth-pop R&B track of a genre that ‘IU’ has never tried before. It seems different from “Twenty-three” which was released two years ago, and calmly talks about “IU” herself. Having truthfully and boldly solved the confusion of two completely opposite sides co-existing in “Twenty-three”, IU is no longer confused this time and clearly points out what she likes and says, “I know myself a bit better now.” Moreover, with G-DRAGON featuring on this song, the song is not just about IU as an individual, but about the age of 25, or the beauty and splendor of youth. The sincere, soft and friendly message harmonizes with the soft synth sounds.

03. 이런 엔딩 (Ending Scene)

Composed by Sam Kim

Lyrics by IU

Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon

This is a R&B ballad track that boasts perfect harmony with vintage piano sounds and lyrical orchestral melodies. The melody of genius artist Sam Kim, who expresses emotions and sensations at the same time, meets the lyrics and vocals of IU, to create a completely new style. This is a song that describes the saddest moment of breaking up in love, which is easily relatable to men and women who have suffered a breakup, as the ending scene of the movie they made together.

04. 사랑이 잘 (Can’t Love You Anymore) (With OHHYUK)

Composed by Lee Jong-hoon, IU, OHHYUK

Lyrics by IU, OHHYUK

Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon

The first official collaboration between IU and Oh Hyuk was selected as the second pre-released song of IU’s fourth regular album and received great public attention even before its release due to the unique charm and chemistry of the two artists. In the song, which is an R&B track with minimalistic instrumentals, IU and Oh Hyuk participated in the lyrics and songwriting and by exchanging realistic and sensuous lyrics and melodies, they expressed the tense conflict between a man and woman who have lost the spark between them. As the Track Producer, the song’s completion was improved further with the involvement of composer Lee Jong Hoon, who also composed IU’s debut song “Mia”, along with “Not Spring, Love, or Cherry Blossoms”, “Leon” and “Twenty-three”.

05. 잼잼 (Jam Jam)

Composed by sunwoojunga

Lyrics by sunwoojunga, IU

Arranged by sunwoojunga, Seok Chul-yun

This is an electronic synth-pop track with a lively sound, like telling a joke. It was composed by the charming artist, sunwoojunga, who is coveted by all musicians and also composed a variety of music like “SPRINGIRLS”, “SOONI”, “It Rains” and so on. Also, IU and sunwoojunga worked together on the lyrics. It is an attention-grabbing song with a cynical and actually mournful contemplation about love.

06. Black Out

Composed by Lee Jong-hoon

Lyrics by IU

Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon

As you would notice from the title, it is an indie pop track with a strong smell of alcohol. A serious guitar solo, which is completely contrary to the playful bass and rhythm, becomes an ironic and attractive killing part to the song. Basically, it seems like nonsense, but when you think about what it was like when each of us got drunk.. “Sigh, it was even more serious..”

07. 마침표 (Full Stop)

Composed by Son Sung-je

Lyrics by IU

Arranged by Son Sung-je

This is a ballad track with a fresh combination of piano, string, flute and clarinet. It is also notable that from the start to the end, there is no fixed BPM (speed) and the performers and vocalists freely perform the song. Son Sung-je, a detailed artist who is already well-known for his high-quality music in the jazz scene, composed the song. Like a long suffering from the ache of a wisdom tooth that was suddenly pulled out, one resolves to put an end to all this, though it is still heartbreaking. With the restrained sounds of someone trying not to wail, it makes the song sound even sadder.

08. 밤편지 (Through the Night)

Composed by Kim Je-hwi, Kim Hee-won

Lyrics by IU

Arranged by Kim Je-hwi, Kim Hee-won

This is a folk ballad with an acoustic sound that goes well with the lyrical guitar melody and IU’s voice. Composer Kim Je-hwi, who has already collaborated with IU several times for songs like “Heart” and “My Old Story”, together with ‘New Face’ Kim Hee-won, participated in the songwriting and IU participated in writing the lyrics, showing off another great chemistry. It was released as the first pre-released song of IU’s full-length album last month and is well loved by listeners for a period of time for its delicate emotions, a unique characteristic of IU-type ballads.

09. 그렇게 사랑은 (Love Alone)

Composed by Lee Byung-woo

Lyrics by Lee Byung-woo

Arranged by Lee Byung-woo

This is a classic ballad that allows you to sense artist Lee Byung-woo’s experience with only the first three notes of the guitar. It is a wonderful conversation between the two artists, which brings out a tense atmosphere with almost 5 minutes of just one guitar and one voice. In fact, the recording each time is a ‘one-take’, which shows how hard both sides tried to collaborate for the recording. This is the only song on the album that IU did not participate in writing the lyrics, as Lee Byung-woo composed, wrote the lyrics and performed for the song.

10. 이름에게 (Dear Name) (TITLE)

Composed by Lee Jong-hoon

Lyrics by IU, Kim Eana

Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon, Hong So-jin

The song, which boasts the largest scale in both length and composition in the album and has been chosen as the second title track, is a pop ballad track with a magnificent sound that reminds you of the song "Secret," the first track of IU's second full-length album. The beautiful string melody unfolded under the direction of Korea's unrivaled string arranger Park In-young and the so-called ‘IU Band’ members, who always show fantastic teamwork at IU's concerts, performed together as if performing live, and the voice of IU that penetrates the grand sound without a single backing vocal. The comfort conveyed by that sole voice is so strong that it can reach anywhere. Lee Jong-hoon composed the song and IU collaborated on the lyrics with Kim Eana for the first time.

[mysmorgasbordoffantabulosa]

Hmm what in Taehyung set your gaydar off? I'm a bi woman and idk I don't trust my gaydar at all 😆 what's worse is that i fing it hardest to detect Bis like me 😆 that's why Im asking bc jhope and tae might be bi but idk 🤔 I always get the urge to move jhope in the gay category and tae with the straights. I am always open to the possibility of being wrong but here's my assumption -> Gay - JM & Suga; Bi - jhope & tae; Straight - jk, jin, rm

These are my personal opinions which may not have any basis, so nobody come for my head please, I just wanna discuss 😅

I think because of fan service and skin ship it's sometimes hard to differentiate to potential sexualities, even in a group like BTS where it seems less geared toward queer sensibilities.

Thoughts of the members sexualities...

Hyung line excluding J Hope:

RM - Heteroflexible, I used to flip between thinking he's straight or Bi.

Jin - He's straight, I could also see him as demi-sexual though

Suga - Bi/Pan - he's said as much in lyrics and interviews, but probably leans towards women in general.

Maknae Line & J Hope:

Firstly, Hobi & Jimin...

J Hope - Bi, he initially gave me ACE vibes, but as I got to know him I realised he's probably wasn't comfortable in his sexuality and has grown in confidence.

Jimin - Bi... well first off he's close to Kai and Taemin and friends, who give off the biggest queer vibes in the entire K-Pop community, also he flirts with anything guys and girls in equal measure.

Ok on to Taekook, here are some of the things that make me think why I came to the conclusions I did...

JK

Demi-sexual Gay or possibly Bi with possible gender non-conforming. JK is an enigma wrapped in a puzzle… yes, he dresses masculine a lot, but he constantly wears gender-neutral clothing brands and even said (paraphrasing) fashion has no gender.

He has liked queer singer/songwriters:

His constant plugging of Troye Sivan (even covered "Fools" about young gay love as duest with RM),

Sharing a gay unrequited love song by Years & Years - Memo

The alleged LGBTQ playlists on his official Spotify profile before they disappeared

Adding Trans artist Kim Petras to playlist

Adding Queer singer/songwrite Carlie Hanson to his playlist

As wells as other queer songs to, such as:

Destin Conrad - In the Air

Troye Sivan - Suburbia | Talk Me Down | There for You

Kehlani - You Should be Here | Honey

Kim Petras - Do Me

Let us also not forget his first thought when meeting RM was thighs. Plus he has fascination with guy butts, slapping them or filming them.

His used of the phrase "I'm Still Me" a few months after the release of Love, Simon in South Korea. He used it twice, firstly in a tweet posting some art, then later in the summer package when asked how he's changed, in both case he used the exact English.

His whole partners are family too, thing during the Japanese BBQ Party

The whole golden closet films, with Bert and Ernie inside.

Overall, whilst he can be masculine, there are times JK is incredibly feminine. JK is queer, he just doesn't broadcast it loudly, just like the others in the group or even in K-Pop in general. So the suspicion is less on him because he only occasionally talks about his interests and likes, that might come across as queer.

Tae

He's probably the only one I can say is definitely gay. He does things that your typical straight man would not do.

Most straight men I know, personally or work with, would not have three gay photographers as their favourites and in the case of Ante Badzim an inspiration. Also, I find it interesting that as a thank-you Ante (who is now a friend with Tae) Tweeted this photo of two naked men in a pool:

Ryan McGinley, a well known photographer, who's photographed tons of celebs, but also posts very gay and very naked gay couples, nudes and sexually explicit suggestive content mostly focusing on the men...

Here are some examples of Ryan McGinley's work:

It should be noted, during a pre-BE album YouTube Live video with Tae, RM and Hobi, RM mentioned Ryan in conversation with Tae regarding the photography for BE's concept and JK, to which Tae became very nervous about, and hinted that that was related to a secret project. Tae has one of Ryan's photo-books, which he photed about, though he had to issue an apology for posting a photo of the book back in 2016. In 2017, Dean (KwonHyuk) posted a screenshot of his conversation with Tae (note the chat was quite innocuous). Tae's chat profile image was of a naked man running a field, the photographer of that images was Ryan: https://www.koreaboo.com/stories/detectives-discover-connection-between-bts-v-and-dean/

Tae also highlights and promotes, queer/gay artists too. He's a big fan of Troye Sivan and has recommended 5 of his songs:

Easy ('Easy' follows the star as he examines a crumbling relationship, begging his lover to give their relationship a second chance.")

Seventeen (he alluded that his song is about losing his virginity to an older man)

What a heavenly way to die (a love song about growing old with his significant other, spending their last days in each other's company)

My My My (is about queer sexual liberation and love with an MV that very gay)

Animal (A beautiful same sex song about being whipped for his man)

Another song he chose to highlight, both in a VLive and in a Bangtan Bomb, was Crazy Beautiful by Austin P Mackenzie:

Other LGBTQ+ artists/songs he highlighted are:

Conan Gray - The Other Side Sam Smith - Stay With Me ! Lay Me Down Kehlani - Advice ! Piece of Mind ! Dstraction Frank Ocean - Thinkin bout you

It's clear he's a big fan of Leslie Cheung, a deceased gay actor, from Hong Kong. He's some evidence that Tae's a fan:

Happy Together, the first big gay film to come out of Hong Kong, starring Leslie Cheung.

And let us know forget that Taekook used the hand sign that Leslie Cheung did to he's lover Daffy during concerts and a secret way of say I love you:

Side note: JK also did some Leslie Cheung things too:

Taehyung, has highlighted/reference several films with gay centric storylines. They are:

Moonlight - is references in his song 4 O'Clock

Call Me By Your Name - he mentioned it in a VLive with Hobi, referenced it in a Tweet playing the piano to the soundtrack on in Pride Month, and reading the script of the father / son conversation, in full in Korean, about accepting one's sexuality.

The Man I love - In the same VLive with Hobi, he mentioned this French gay film

One of his favourite fashion designers is gay, Alessandro Michele from Gucci:

He likes queer artists, like Alexander Calder and Jean Michel Basquiat:

Conclusion

No straight person I know would highlight this many queer content/artists as their personal favourites. Most gay men I know will gravitate to queer content more and have queer representations in the homes and life. People gravitate to things that resonate with themselves. And if you're queer, that will be queer people and things.
