[136/547] — until we meet again, jungkook ♡

Correction, 392 people were found buried in mass graves at Al Nasser Hospital alone. The other two mass graves, one of which is located in Al-Shifa, contain more people. The total of Palestinian people massacred, mutilated, and thrown into mass graves is far higher than 392.

URGENT: Help Rescue the Mortaja Family

Hani is organizing this fundraiser to help his brother (Ahmed) and their family safely cross the border into Egypt. Please donate and share. This is the link to the fundraising page.

The Family’s Situation in Ahmed’s Words (from GoFundMe)

“Five months into the war, I've come to realise that we need more than just one heart to bear all this devastation and more than one set of eyes to cry and mourn without restraint. Since the war began, disasters have continuously befallen us without respite.”

“We (my parents, myself, my brothers Mohammed, Salah and Mahdi, my sisters Shimaa and Walaa, my niece Mariam and my nephews Mahdi and Mohammed) have been displaced over thirteen times if my memory serves me right in recounting these instances. But my memory is even more adept at recalling the nights filled with cold and fear, fleeing from death, and emerging from the rubble with my family over and over again.”

“And each time that we miraculously survived, we lost a part of us, a piece of our hearts.”

“My mother, who lost her sister, nephews, and nieces, experienced a shocking blow. On the same day, she lost more than forty martyrs from her brothers' children and their offspring.”

“The latest loss was my cousin, an esteemed teacher and mentor to many. Amid the severe crisis and famine here in the north, he went in search of flour to feed his children and family but never returned, meeting his demise instead.”

“All of these losses didn't give us a chance to grieve properly or look at everything with a hopeful eye.”

“My father's health was already deteriorating due to chronic illnesses and recurrent strokes before the war. During the conflict, his condition worsened, having memory loss more often, and I suspect he has suffered another stroke (though we can't diagnose it due to the lack of medical staff in Gaza and overall lack of proper healthcare services). In war, cases are evaluated based on the priority of preserving life, without considering that the case being evaluated is a father with children who have big dreams.”

“My sister Shimaa, who has two little moons in the form of children, and a third born amid the war in harsh conditions that are beyond imagination, named Mohammad, symbolising our relatives and friends. This third child was born displaced from his home, in the biting cold, and now, two and a half months later, he still hasn't received the appropriate vaccinations like normal children do.”

“Those speaking to you now were not born as superheroes; they are ordinary humans. We go to our jobs, others go to learn, and we gather in the evening to talk about what the ordinary days bring us.”

“During the war, the universities where my siblings study and my father works were destroyed, and the jobs of my other siblings, who work in information technology, vanished into thin air.”

“All these events have had a physical and psychological impact on the family. My mother lost weight alongside losing more than eighty people from her family, her sisters. My father lost his health and his sanity, overwhelmed by grief.”

“My brothers and sisters lost what they lost, alongside surviving various incidents during the war, and others from the starving predators on the streets.”

“Therefore, it takes more than one heart and mind to comprehend and endure what transpired during the war.”

Please donate. Every little bit helps. If you cannot donate, I urge you to share this.

LOVE ME AGAIN V (OF BTS), 2023

ibtisams-deactivated20240709

One day each of you is going to suffer the greatest loss you could have ever imagined and you are going to be angry and irrational and start praying to god again and the person you love most is going to die and you are going to think “I wish it was me instead” every second of every day for the rest of your life and your going to leave your childhood home for the last time and it is going to eat you up inside that you can’t go back to being 6 years old and you are going to become even more angry and even more irrational and people are going to ask you why it’s such a big deal and why won’t you just get over it already and that is when you will finally truly understand what Palestine is going through right now and why your silence is making us so angry and why we are always asking for you to just pay attention and listen to us and know that it is our loved ones and our childhood homes that are be taken from us while everyone tells us it’s not that big of a deal

BTS School Era Concepts - the timid first steps of finding oneself...

ahhhh...yes, the debut years! the rookie period, the years of trials and tribulations, the hip-hop school era, the years of sweet highs and bittersweet lows...or that part that I like to dub in my head as the tween years of their career, that awkward in-between period where you try to define yourself and to find your "voice".

reminder: as I've said in my post for BTS Now...an (awkward) fun concept I LOVE all the boys and this series of me talking about their concepts is just me expressing my thoughts, based on my personal tastes on the stylistic choices... we are here just for the vibes and having fun going down the memory lane.

disclaimer: the photos used are not my own ofc, credit goes to their creators.

so now that we cleared that out...shall we begin?

I dunno how it is for the rest of you guys, but being from an older generation and not having my cringe years blasted all over sm is a blessing that I'm sure our boys will love to have. we all go through it, it's just that some of us have the lucky fortune of having them just in a physical photo album. my personal cringe moments come in the form of facebook memories and having to see again some cringe posts or comments that I made 😬. but, at the same time, I also feel endearment towards my past self - "you were trying so hard,eh?" and I like to think that our tannies feel the same way .

some...choices were deff made here. I can kind of see what their stylist was thinking with the sportswear, trainers, baggy clothes, heavy bling-bling - all hip-hop coded, the make-up choice being to emphasize their grittyer selves, I can even close my eyes to the kitschy gaudy prints (are these versace knock-offs or real versace items?🤔)...but to me it just reads as a hip-hop cosplay, or at least the korean idol version of it. let's not talk about the weird choices that were made regarding namjoon's hair style or covering hobi's face (that man was beautiful then and is beautiful today and I hope the rumours that I've read/heard about this particular thing are not true).

perhaps their over stylized hip-hop look is typical to the korean idol scene...I dunno much about that, bc as I've said in the post of how I found them, I don't know much about the k-pop scene and I'm mainly interested in them. one thing is for sure though... their determination, resilience, discipline, and their passion, their hunger to achieve their goals are unmistakable evident from the first bars they droped. and...just look at them! they have an endearing, precious quality to them - look at yoongi being so loud and showing so much skin (how many thirsty fans have played in slo-mo that part of choreo from we are bulletproof pt 2 when he shows his midriff?🫣), or at jungkook being a shy *coughs* I mean tough looking bean, or at jimin playing so hard the macho card.

n.o. era continues the same thought line as their debut,regarding the styling, with very few variations. unfortunately, imo jimin drew the short straw because there is not one single photo in their photobook album that is flattering to him. 😥

the only good thing about this period visually is that it gave me ginger yoongi with a bandana (so cute and gorgeous)...

....and it also gave me pimp yoongi with a fur coat 😆. hey, no judging for where my mind takes me!

dark and wild era took a more grungier,punk vibe with their styling, less emphasis on bling-blings and more put on form fitted styles, leather, ripped jeans, and generally an emo (jungkook) bad boys kind of vibe, accentuated with very heavy eyeliner (they went a little overboard with it imho). I really digg jimin's look in the bottom group concept foto.

I think that jin embodies the best this concept here, helped also by the aloof cold persona that he is still playing, and I also like namjoon's punk hairstyle (in this instance, bc I've seen a clip of him with an over the top mohawk that didn't look good at all 🙈). the one they did dirty this time around is yoongi,and I've bitched enough when I talked about BTS Now 1 concept about the hair colour, hairstyle and eyeliner to not rehash-it again, but if the stylist went for a bad boy look with him with the face tattoo...they kind of missed the mark and instead ended up playing into a stereotype.

imho they should have gone more for this type of bad boy look. yoongi can tap really well into his bad boy persona you just got to let his natural self shine.btw...I'm not mentioning poor taehyung at all, because those concepts looked really bad on him.

luckily this era also gave us 'war of hormone' which imo is a much better suited style for them, that embodies much better youthfulness, rebellion and the I dont give af rock attitude much much better then what they were going for before.

all of them look amazing!! and I love how taehyung and yoongi were just feeling themselves.

and the less we say about their oral fixation, the better! also hobi with red hair...😗🤌🏻

by the end of their school era, I think it's safe to say that signs of a 180° style and concept change were kind of there, and I can't wait to gush about it.

thank you for your patience in reading this and I would love to hear your thoughts on this era if anybody is willing. also big thanks to @irmi3454 for that pic of jimin in a leather jacket.

Bisan's recent post. I think it's important for you to read it. Tonight 03.12.23, journalists in gaza share their last messages. There are no words to describe the horrors unfolding in gaza right now.

I no longer have any hope of survival like I had at the beginning of this genocide, and I am certain that I will die in the next few weeks or maybe days. I have been sick with severe viral infection for days and cannot move from the mattress!

I suffer from nightmares that are so closely resemble reality that I no longer differentiate between reality and dream.

I live in a world other than the one I claimed to be building! I am a community activist who lived on the fantasy that the world was free and just, and I sought to bring rights not only to my people, but to many men and women in third world countries!

I was shocked that I was not from the third world! Indeed, we are the most humane and moral! Yes, because the world approves, supports, and finances the genocide we are being subjected to, legislates it, and gives reasons for for 58 days! While we are a people who have been living on occupied land for 75 years and are still searching for our rights and communicating our voice to the world!

My message to the world: You are not innocent of what is happening to us, you as governments or peoples that support Israel’s annihilation of my people. We will not forgive you, we will not forgive you, humanity will not forgive you, we will not forget, even if we die, the history will never forget .

A Message to friends: Thank you and the supporters around the world. You have been compassionate and very strong. We ask you not to lose hope, even if the world seems completely unfair and your efforts have not yet resulted in a ceasefire.

“We’re just doing what we have always done. I mean, when did we ever do anything to get acknowledgement from anyone? It’s not like people acknowledged us then, either. We make something meaningful and share it with people, whether it be through music or concerts. That’s the reason why we started doing this. We wish to keep our energy focused on that reason. I also personally don’t check people’s reactions online as much as I used to before. So… yeah. I think I’ll continue to not talk about any of those kinds of things in the future. I want to use that time to focus on personal development and work on becoming a better person. That’s all. Anyway, I hope you keep that in mind. We’re going to work even harder.

They say there’s only a hair’s difference between a “fan” and an “anti”. Sometimes antis, or haters, know more information than fans do, *laughs* since hating something also takes a great deal of energy. So, well. If we just keep working and do our thing, they might become our fans, who knows. If that happens, great, and if not, it’s whatever. I talked about this with the members too. In terms of what’s to come from now on, I’ve been thinking—actually, these days, what I’ve been thinking about continuously is that we should put ourselves back to the starting point of our journey. And get more actively involved in our album-making process & speak our voices. I’m almost 30 now. I’ve been having a lot of thoughts on my mind about how to carry on forward. I suppose I should probably talk more about this and that, since I might be the sole person thinking this way. I’m going to keep thinking about the things I can do and keep doing more… *sighs* I’ll be working hard.”
