Namjoon Wants Me To Think So...

Let's talk about BTS stuff! Kei. 22. GAy As fUck. Just an aquarius looking to talk about stuff no one wants to talk about with me. I literally just want to talk.  I write shoddy long posts about aspects of the fandom or BTS that are interesting or I want to rant about. You can rant with me if you want. OT7 or bust. Oh, I have no idea how Tumblr works. Yikes.

If you ever hear the phrase "fascism is aesthetics as politics," that's what this post is talking about.

It's not about being tough on crime, because the absolute toughest most brutal measure you could take against "crime" as a social problem is to alleviate poverty, and increase access to education, healthcare and social mobility.

It's about performing "tough on crime" as an aesthetic by enacting violence against a prop, i.e. minorities and the impoverished, who are fetishized and objectified to represent "crime." They are brutalized as punishment for crime, but never with the purpose of alleviating the problem of crime.

This is why a lot of conservatives and other right wingers can get straight up angry when you suggest things like reform or social measures to reduce crime. They don't want crime to be reduced, they want an eternal war against "crime" because it provides an arena for the righteous to demonstrate virtue by brutalizing their enemies.

Everything BTS has ever done, both good and bad, related to all social justice issues

I find it absolutely fascinating how so many different people talk about BTS in such different ways, with some of their fans saying they’re among the most progressive celebrities on the planet while others say they’re the prime example of racism in K-Pop.

I was out sick for a couple days, had some time off, couldn’t get this off my mind (we love fixations), and I like pretending to be a sociologist, so: here’s a chronological list of everything BTS has ever done related to all social justice issues (racism, misogyny, LGBT issues, mental health issues, etc), both good and bad, compiled just to have it all in one place.

This could be used as both a callout post and a compilation of how great they are. Either way, I just request that you read all of it beforehand for a complete picture.

So, you mean to tell me that I not only share a birthday with the one and only Jhope, but also Vernon and DK from SEVENTEEN?!

Can we say 18th Feb Gang Gang?

it’s incredible how persona, shadow and ego are such good representations of rapline’s versatility, all of them are so different and still so good

To be perfectly honest, I don't like the Black Swan choreography. That's not to say that it is bad, but more so that it lacks the soul and emotion that is carried in the actual song, which is a shame considering how well everyone in BTS performed it.

Namjoon and Jin told the haters to choke with their stage presence and execution of the moves, and all of the other members were able to display their multiple shades of talent. Nobody was left behind in the choreo at all and that's how it should be.

However, what takes away from my enjoyment of the choreo is the fact that it doesn't look like it's trying to tell a story or enhance the emotions of the song. I understand that not every choreo has to highlight and express the sentiments of the track, however, it would have been very appropriate, or even expected, to do it in this instance. It more feels like the choreographer took the aesthetic of contemporary dance, left the meaning and depth, and then sprinkled it over his usual BTS choreo.

Because of this, there were quite of few moments of what I can only call dead time, where a single member would be in on stage only to be joined by another member who would dance around the one singing, but not in a way that related to or corresponded much with the what the singer was saying or doing. They weren't dancing with each other in this instances, but rather doing things around them. It took me out of the performance multiple times because there would be parts which looked like they were put there because they rather a) Didn't know how to fill the space or b) because it looked good, even though they didn't serve meaning of purpose.

Overall, the choreo is inoffensive and aesthetically pleasing to watch, especially since the members do the moves SO WELL. There are some really really solid parts of the choreo that I liked and the beginning and ending parts are STUNNING. However, the lack of purposeful moves, expressing and enhancing the narrative and feelings of the song, leave the performance a little bit empty inside.

10/10 for the members. 7/10 for the choreography

sending you all the good vibes today 💖💞✨ hope you're having an amazing day!!!

You are an absolute GEM. Can you believe that I saw this as I was listening to ‘Feel Special’ by twice, specifically the ‘You make me feel special’? I swear the room lit up a bit after I read that. It’s been a tough week and I appreciate this so much.

Sending you loads of warm feelings and sunshine!!!!! <3 As Suga said, you are more wonderful than anyone.

Happy pride month here’s a list of my finest moments as yr friendly neighborhood lesbian flight attendant

When a guy at the hotel bar whom i thought was being nice and genuinely wanted to talk abt superheroes suggestively asked what my room number was and i, in shock, replied “gay”

When a man on the plane grabbed my necklace (a musketball, roughly the circumference of a quarter) and loudly asked “is that a ball gag?” And i, in shock, replied “no im gay”

When a ramper gave his number to the gate agent and told her to give it to me and i said “oh no tell him im gay” and she laughed and said “yea i get that” and i said “no i really am gay” bc heaven forbid she think im straight lol and she said “yea me too”

When a 12yo boy confessed to me that he was nervous abt coming out to his dad as trans so i had a 2 hr long conversation w him and gave him 20 bags of pretzels

When a butch lesbian asked if i was local and i said “no im just here for the night” and she said “oh, what kind of a night do you want it to be? 😘”

When i told the other FA (straight woman, 40s) i was gay and she immediately launched into an emotional story about the sapphic love affair she had at an away camp when she was 18

When my captain told me he was in a ldr and i said “oh me too” and he said “yeah, my partner’s a man tho” and i said “oh mine’s a woman” and he had a look of surprised gay elation

When the whole crew went out for drinks and realized all but one of us were lgbt and we all turned to the (straight) captain and he looked like this: 😬

When a butch ramp agent found out i was gay and gave me her number and i said “oh im taken” and she said “that’s fine i just need more gay friends”

When i came out to my (straight) captain and he said “but……you don’t wear pants…”

When i (drunk) and my first officer (drunk) started gushing abt how much we love our girlfriends and our captain (not drunk) said “you two should have a double wedding” so we spent the rest of the night planning one and made a joint wedding registry on amazon

So in today’s news, Sorn is racist and when confronted about it she said we should all just chill the fuck out. Should’ve known couldn’t trust someone who would willingly make a YouTube video with Edward Avila.

[thinkingnamjoonkei]

I hate to break it to you sis, but you clearly are as dumb as a bag of bricks if you thought that you could pull this tomfoolery without getting backlash.

Actually, hold on.

How does it make any sense for her to reply with 'I'm not stupid' and 'chill' when it makes her sound like she's admitting that she knows just how racist it was? Why should we chill if we know that you are fully aware of your racism?

Unless she meant that she's not stupid enough to be racist, which would be just as baffling because, even if she's not dumb enough to be racist, she's clearly dumb enough to openly associate with racists.

Anyway, her response is ignorant and obnoxious and I have no time for people who are dismissive and have no interest in bettering themselves. It's ugly.
