関ジャニ∞ - 「 キングオブ男 」

[nc-nl]

Almost 10M!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nc-nl]

New song on Youtube NOWWW!!  Love it. First band song since 2018. The one before was ここに which is also inspiring and fresh. This time, there was still the youthfulness spirit and same time matches the matureness they are. (Correction here, ここに was released after they became 6, after that the song “Crystal” is also perform in band style.) Hug your dreams whatever your age is. Hug yourself which-ever right or wrong way that dream had become. Love yourself for becoming who you wanna be, or if you cannot be that someone you hope you are. There could always be a new starting line, and you were never “haven nothing done” coming to this point now. The music video is a work well done. The color and the light. The right among of shadow just a perfect balance resemble real life where hopes and disappointment are daily matters. It would be too bright and up and just too positive if they where bask in sunlight the whole video. Blue also sends feeling of both youth/energetic and sadness/stableness . I think that blue was the theme color of this year celebrating their 18th anniversary? I have seen it as a theme on other project related to anniversary.  For me, again, I am most inspire by Yokoyama, he learned guitar when he was 39 years old, when one more member left the group and it became difficult for them to perform as a band.  Age is just a number << was written in the lyrics. Also from the first single they release after they become 5 people,  友よ (Tomo yo) there was one lyric say, “ It was only a number on the page, it is stupid to judge people by that only. ”

The first track of the band performance in this clip was also the first track of their latest album : 8beat . This was again a special request from the group member, Maruyama. He have a concept and idea of the melody  that will show what Kanjani8 is as a band now. He wrote every thing down to discuss with the other members and eventually the composer.  ^This was not exact translate from interviews only information I gathered from shows. I think the track is really cool, one by one introducing the group member, got the momentum of a first scene curtain opening, it’s energetic and fun, also mature,  matched their age.

Its been a while, hope everyone is okay and feeling good.

Had went to a new place and came back home. rested and am better now.

Everything had been wrong, could never go back now. Finally getting in the new pace but somethings were too diffecult to pick up even though they have been my joy for years and years. Lucky, I got swallowed into a new black hole. Scratch that. I mean storm.

and to be correct, Arashi.

So could a Dracula wear a cross if they either don’t know about Christianity or they were to make the cross unholy some how?

Yes. That’s my theory about draculas wearing Templar crosses. You meet a dracula and you’re like “dude… how and why are you wearing that?”

“What?” he asks, looking down at his blouse.

“That cross!” you say.

He frowns. “You mean my plus sign? That’s not a cross, it’s—”

“It’s a cross,” you say. “Remember the Knights Templar? Yikes! Nowadays it’s used by white nationalists and hate groups. You’re not some kind of neo-Nazi freak, are you?”

“No!” he cries, struggling to undo the pendant. It’s already starting to burn him. “Get it off! Get it off! Help me!” Red-tinged tears begin to well in his eyes. You help him remove it.

“I thought it was a math thing!” he wails as it clatters for the floor. “I love addition, you know… I thought it was just a fancy plus sign…”

[fucking-why]

What if the vampire had a different religion? Like a Jewish vampire? Would it be able to touch a Star of David? Would a cross still burn them? What about an atheist vampire? Or is is just not knowing what those things were? What about a pentagram? Cause technically it’s a symbol of religion? I have a lot of questions

[glumshoe]

The vampire’s personal beliefs are unimportant. All that matters is that the holy symbol is recognized as holy to some religion, and that the vampire is made aware of this.

An agnostic gentile could present a gentile vampire with a Magen David and the vampire would be like “…isn’t that a Jewish thing?”

“Yes.”

“Are you Jewish?”

“No.”

“Oh. Well, is this like when people thrust crosses at me? Does it hurt me?”

“Honestly…. I’m not sure? I don’t know enough about Judaism to say whether or not this should repel you.”

“…Would it be religiously insensitive of me not to be harmed by this? Or would it be more insensitive of me to assume that it would work the same as a crucifix, thereby interpreting Judaism from a culturally Christian perspective and treating the religious symbols as simply interchangeable window dressing?”

“That’s a good question. I think you should let me leave your castle so that I can ask a rabbi and come back with the answer.”

“Yes, that does seem to be wisest. Go, and hurry back! I eagerly await the verdict.”

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

this implies vampires being burned by crosses is a psychosomatic reaction

[terulakimban]

My favorite part of this is that a magen david isn’t a holy symbol; it’s an emblem of the religion and the culture, but it has no religious significance in and of itself. (It arguably has religious meaning but that’s another conversation entirely.) Meaning that it’s entirely plausible our vampire friend up there genuinely isn’t harmed by them at all -but would need to test with actual Jewish holy symbols to check them. 

Actually my favorite part is “would it be more insensitive of me to assume that it would work the same as a crucifix, thereby interpreting Judaism from a culturally Christian perspective and treating the religious symbols as simply interchangeable window dressing.” I almost never see stuff like that, and it’s always really nice to have it on my dash. 

[glumshoe]

The dracula wasn’t harmed by the necklace he wore when he thought it was a plus sign. Only after realizing that it was a cross did it begin to burn him–knowledge is power, and no one knows that better than a dracula.

I think he would be similarly unaffected by other Jewish holy symbols if he didn’t recognize them as such. They’d just be meaningless shapes. Think of it like an acquired allergy–he might not react when initially exposed to a holy symbol because his dracula magics don’t recognize it as an allergen. 

If he did not check with a rabbi and took his gentile victim at face value, his dracula magics would react to the Magen David exactly as though it were a holy symbol and trigger a reaction. It would be as effective against him as a crucifix until and unless someone clarified otherwise, at which point his dracula magics would stop recognizing it as a trigger.  

You might say that draculas have overreactive magical immune systems and that’s why they’re so sensitive to garlic and sunlight and silver. Anxiety about being impolite–by entering a house uninvited, or slighting others’ religious beliefs by failing to catch fire when confronted with holy symbols–also triggers major magical autoimmune distress.

You can also think of it like how gravity affects Wile E. Coyote. 

And that’s how draculas work.

[glumshoe]

No, because as we all know, draculas are mildly to moderately psychic. They can read minds and detect lies with considerable accuracy. You can’t just point to a random object and say “oh yeah, that’s uhh, that’s a super sacred to uhhh… Zoroastrians” because a dracula will know you’re full of shit. (Similarly, you can’t just make up a religion on the spot as others have suggested—unless you UNIRONICALLY BELIEVE in your heart of hearts that what you have just imagined is a real and legitimate religion and not just a stupid loophole.)

If you identify something as a holy symbol because you just don’t know any better, the dracula may or may not trust your authority on the matter. If the victim described above genuinely believed the Magen David to be a holy symbol in Judaism, the vampire might err on the side of caution and trust them… or he might say, “Actually, since you admitted you don’t know much about Judaism, I don’t place much confidence in your assertions and will reject them until proven otherwise by a more qualified authority.”

[glumshoe]

Here’s where things get complicated.

I do not think that a “holy symbol” is interchangeable with a “symbol of a religion”. A crescent moon and star are commonly used to represent the religion of Islam for convenience, but they’re not “holy symbols”. A Magen David might be a holy symbol in certain contexts but possibly not in general use.

To be a holy symbol, something must have mystical power or ritual significance as a symbol, and to work against a dracula it must have apotropaic qualities associated with it. A crescent moon-and-star or a Magen David might have no effect against a well-educated dracula, while a ta'wiz or a hamsa would ward him off. 

More simply: a symbol must have use within religious practices as a talisman against evil rather than simply serving as a representation of a faith.

Talismans that are more cultural/folklore than they are religious may work to a limited extent, but not as efficiently or reliably. A horseshoe nailed above a door may make a dracula moderately uncomfortable and disinclined to approach, much like silver or garlic, but it is not as powerful an apotropaic.

Of course, all these complications and loopholes require that a dracula understands them. A completely ignorant dracula who knows nothing about anything will be nigh invulnerable, while a moderately informed dracula knows just enough to be endangered by both knowledge and ignorance. However, a dracula who has made a concerted effort to educate himself on comparative religion and the use of holy talismans will be immune to incorrectly-applied symbols and can easily navigate loopholes and technicalities until you wish you’d just staked him to begin with.

So! An uneducated himbo dracula has broad conditional safety, but this immunity to talismans will not last long once he begins to learn new things. The intermediate state of education is most perilous to draculas. A wise and experienced dracula knows exactly what will hurt him and cannot be tricked or surprised, though you might be able to buy yourself time by engaging him in debate. Draculas love to vampsplain.

My new hobby-symbiotes making!

[nc-nl]

hey everyone :)

dear diary time

things were too much i have to walk away, also my friends and i have planned a small vacation since March.

It was not good nor bad. its nice to really get away from hk, i have not been in a good place long before the protests starts, i was half denying i think? so its nice to escape from my family, my house, my room, my stuffss. the whole horrible routine.

bad thing was i really do not enjoy shopping and crowded places. Dont get my wrong, i love see new and beautiful clothes and design or other fun stuff, i did my little shoppings but i would prefer it more if its not a sunday market packed with people or big malls target tourist.

i wouldn’t mind if i didnt get any souvenir. Plus, my thoughts and emotion can go to a bad place real fast, destory all safe and peace and smile i was in just 30 seconds ago.

theres no way my friends havent notice anything. one of them tried talk to me and said they want to help but it was not a good time and place to make conversation so i did my best to say yes im in a different place now and i went quiet, im changing, growing different views and values. we could talk in a better time when we are back in hk.

But i know the help will not be coming from my friends because if i could tell them everything, if i trust them that much i would have done that months ago. That means im also developing a trust issue with friends i known for ten years.

Anyway, back to reality. i have been thinking about working holiday. the age deadline is round the corner if i want to experience other culture for more than 3 months now is the time to make decisions.

Australia would be the easiest place to adapt with my five-year-old english and i have relatives there if anything went wrong. Ireland and Holland would be a whole new world which im super excited and same time scare to death XD also i never learn to drive so that would be a problem

do you have any suggestion for me? working holiday or on my mental(? health

or if you are hker and want to talk
