to kinda expand on polar night & amygdala back to back during the shows - as the former progresses we see this thick mess of webs start to obscure yoongi from view, letting us only see him in fragments. this giving on to the shattered mirror projections during amygdala is -

- meaningful to me, because polar night, this profound & poignant commentary about the callous violence people can mete out through words alone, stems from a very personal place too for yoongi. it's the song he wanted to represent the beginning of his 30s, which -

op im so sorry for spamming you ill do this one as a qrt thread instead ;-;

re: polar night's screen projections i have 3 trains of thought

- the dualtoned glitching spider
- the web itself
- how that visual connects to the next song in the setlist, amygdala -

- i think overall the screen projections during polar night do a fascinating job of capturing both yoongi's incredibly profound dissection of so much of public discourse & the self-awareness that undercuts the entire song, because instead of coming across as preachy, he -

i also love how the entirety of d-day flips the living in a fishbowl concept on its head by centring it's narrative with this heavy theme of surveillance, playing up moments that feel eerie & uncomfortable on purpose. the whole tour is us observing yoongi in a contained -

- environment in an incredibly personal way, literally viewing the deconstruction of that space from the inside out. the show ends with multiple cameras pointed at yoongi up close, performing one of his rawest pieces of music, as though he's both acknowledging the scrutiny he's -

yknow i was thinking about how yoongi made this tour such an intimate experience not just because of how personal the narrative arc of it was but also because there were so many moments like THIS. the teasing, the banging on piano keys, the fumbling lyrics, the yelling ssibal l

louder and longer each time, the bonobono meme template he wanted to announce the best news ever in the most annoying way possible (his words), the careful phone inspection process and yelling his preferences in autotune, the ice cream man dance, the teasing pretending he was

yeah i think ill just cry

i will NEVER recover from yoongi being down to get red strings of fate tattoos and after being informed that they mean "love" his response was "but i love you guys??" getting his 7 tattoo next to the healed scar of his surgery, making its reveal a whole THING. carrying around - - a guitar w the handprints of his team to perform the song we just all heard him quote to describe how them teetering on the verge of dissolving the team was like a couple about to break up. how he's going to tell whether you ask him or no that bangtan are coming back together -

in 2020, when yoongi himself was going through an incredibly rough time mentally that we only heard him discuss recently, he filled up those tough months with kkul fms, a lifechanging album, painting logs, pre-filming content so we wouldn't feel like he wasn't there for BE - - promotions, stockpiling selcas so he could post them bit by bit after his surgery. even rushing on to do a vlive after said surgery, because he knew we were worried. i felt so, SO cared for - he became one of the reasons i stayed sane that year, one of the reasons i have -

the detail that right after burn it, the vcr makes a point to zoom into the tony montana matches depicting a silhouette that looks like yoongi's seeing different reflections in different mirrors. in the same vcr, the scarred yoongi we've seen almost hunting down his other selves-

- faces the younger version of him he'd been standing aside letting get hurt & trapped (he sits in the car, watching that younger boy in the aftermath of the accident, photographs the traumatic events around it as though imprinting them into memory - metaphorical scars that i -

this is the last scene of the amygdala mv, with the parting line "save me from here, hurry and get me out quickly" and this is where the d-day tour begins - yoongi, laying on the ground in the middle of an erratic thunderstorm - but rising, to fulfil his own plea for rescue it's just so insane to me how every component of d-day is it's own compelling bit of storytelling and at the same time connected with all the other components to tell a beautifully interwoven and deeply poignant story. even the opening vcr parallels the mv - yoongi laying in -

the last's "the root of my creation is han, i have tasted the world's sweetness, bitterness, and even shit" and burn it's "whether it would become a blazing sun or the ashes left behind after being burnt, always, the choice & decision is yours to make" and amygdala's - - "the neverending trials failed to kill me, and once again, i bloom, a lotus flower" with d-day's promise of "because the lotus blooms gloriously even in muddy waters"

what a beautiful arc to follow throughout the agust d trilogy. how meaningful and profound to watch the -

ive become obsessed with the d-day setlist & its overarching story, not just how each block of songs seems to represent another step into the map of min yoongi's soul but how each song within that block is a step towards himself as the person behind suga & agust d. -

https://twitter.com/anotherunperson/status/1652930011417178112

the intro vcr visualises the symbolic "birth" of agust d, the alterego born out of han, out of the space between reality and ideals. as the show begins with haegeum, yoongi frees the forbidden and traces this alterego to its roots, in reverse chronological order. -

i felt this way during D-2 , where as i listened and lived it i could sort of.... feel myself almost subconsciously sketching the outline of a person i was becoming, an outline that i didnt know how to draw before, a better person. i can feel that happening as i live in d-day too something about yoongi and his music always sparks this fire in me that makes me want to do better for myself, define my own edges and cut out my own place in the world instead of settling into the space i happen to occupy. and i feel like in a couple -

ive been thinking about the d-day setlist & how "love" and "people", how we define the world & ourselves against both, feels like a central theme and how yoongi structures his albums in a similar way, starting with the persona of agust d before going deeper, layer by layer. - - after the intro vcr that symbolises the birth of agust d (born from fire and han) there's the songs that he uses to present to the world the identity that is agust d, (haegeum, daechwita, agust d, gitm). -

i cannot sleep. i can, however, go on at length about the fullbodied chills i experienced from the extra 1.20 mins of interlude shadow we got to hear when mots7 dropped especially the verse where the shadow starts literally speaking to his persona

the fact that this moment begins right after yoongi sings about being at the highest point in the sky therefore casting the biggest shadow, the fact that this darkness is proportional to those incredible heights & such a powerful analogy of feeling unmoored & afraid,
