(extremely long rambly thread)

i’ve been pretty offline lately. it’s nice. it almost surprises me how much of my every day reminds me of bts, how much of their words and wisdom i have subconsciously integrated into my own life. it is peaceful, and i find comfort in this love. the other day, i was looking at the moon, a pretty crescent in the sky, and thought of jin. it felt good, knowing that he is out there, living his life, just like me. i am happy knowing that he is happy, finally back home, doing what he loves most, and getting his deserved rest.

so!! unable to stop thinking about how the different aspect ratios and media elements within the MV actually lend to the storytelling aspect of the MV so here we go! 🧵 i noticed this in the teaser: the leading lines are pretty straightforward (/pos). jimin walks down a path (against the grain), ambles into the street, walks along the divider till he reaches the t-junction. it's literally an intersection he's taking us to.

Jungkook is wearing a shirt from one Ajobyajo—one of my personal favorite brands, one of the few labels in Korea that openly supports LGBTQ individuals and identity. JK (and other members of BTS) have worn their designs multiple times over the past years. Yoongi and Jungkook specifically used to wear the brand a lot in 2017/2018! With variations of the mixed check shirt especially, there’s also another black & yellow one that they both wore. Their clothes are really cool and often unisex, I’m in love w/ the brand’s style :)

Joyland (2022) is a Punjabi-language film featuring a trans main character. It received a standing ovation at Cannes & the Queer Palm award. It is also Pakistan’s submission to the Oscars. One week before release, it’s been banned in Pakistan—you can guess why. #ReleaseJoyland The director, Saim Sadiq, called this a “grave injustice” and has asked for support to get this film to its intended audience. South Asia has few globally-acclaimed films and even fewer ones with representation. Here is a link to the director’s post. instagram.com/p/Ck6CNP5Mrlr/…

Happy birthday to Academy Award winning animator and director, Hayao Miyazaki ✨ Born January 5th of 1941, Miyazaki grew up in the post-war era with a love for animation at an early age. As he went into university, he studied political science and economics, but remained dedicated on pursuing a career in manga.
