i'm actually not done fawning over how drop dead gorgeous phil is after being soooo apprehensive of acknowledging his age for years he just said fuck it and fully embraced being a hot successful 36 year old who's still funky and creative and weird I LOVE HIM

no because has anyone ever READ the descriptions on the covers of the shinee plagarism albums because they are beautiful prose
"there were dreams and goals that i had in my mind from the day i dreamt of becoming an artist. although i had to go through many obstacles, i learned that i should always believe in myself. strong faith has been the motivation of energy that keeps me going. as the effort for the dreams has made me become who i am today, i will continue to strive for higher goals with faith." - taemin, from his first mini album ace
"just like my body's stretch marks were a part of my growing pains, we will move on endlessly while enduring the pain, under the belief of my growth and the world's growth. because the pain creates the room for take-off, i thank you for the 'stretch' that pushed me forward. as always, i need you." - jonghyun, from his first mini album base
"this is not defeating an impossible nor pushing limits. this album assures my capability within us and this will continue. all my actions are the truth of me and all for you." - key, from his first album face
"singing brings me great happiness. i tried to sing hoping that the song could bring healing to people who listen to it. in my own voice. with my song. for the sake of everyone's happiness." - onew, from his first mini album voice
"finally, the puzzle is complete with this last piece. the story i will conclude with my narrative began with our faith. this faith, which cannot be explained in a single sentence, expands our universe and allows us to change the world. so i will not slow down in moving forward as i return and live with such faith. i shall look back at myself once more, continue to work hard, and always hold on to our convictions with modesty and gratitude. i will show that we are not wrong." - minho, from his first mini album chase

the way bel found a family that actually loves him, despite how they may all act on the outside, while rasiel was met with individuals who would let him be eliminated for their ends in a heartbeat. say what you want about varia not caring for each other, they don't actually feel that way. they have each other's back in the end. xanxus is there to kill rasiel when bel couldn't. he did not do it for bel's sake, but he was actually there to follow up on the havoc rasiel was raining down. rasiel? rasiel had no one to fall back on. not a soul was going to help him against xanxus' wrath.
after being introduced to rasiel and having him reveal how much he belittled bel, how he was allegedly constantly rubbing in his face that he was better than him, it's beautiful karma to see bel not being alone anymore. he's not the 8 year old kid that had no one to rely on except himself. he has a family.
what's especially heart wrenching about knowing their backstory properly is that you find out why bel acts the way he does. suddenly, we are told that rasiel's treatment of him is the source of so much of what makes up bel as a person. it clicks. i still most often see people thinking of bel as conceited, but i really don't see that. not with the context of him looking completely blank when rasiel says that he was always better, no smile, no retort.
when bel lets down his guard with lussuria in the manga interview, he is extremely dismissive throughout. he is in no way excited to talk about himself. he even says that he doesn't want to stand out too much at the end section of one of the volumes where characters comment on fanart. this kind of humble comment doesn't exactly fit the way people around him tend to view his vanity. bel's desperation while fighting as soon as he bleeds also seems like...more than just flashbacks to that fateful night that he killed rasiel. it's like the inferiority complex he must have built up kicking in, he has to win, he has to get validation that he can win. he can't keep losing like he did repeatedly to rasiel in the past. again, i have to emphasize that rasiel says that bel was always worse than him and bel does not speak out. the one who everyone would see as egotistical does not say a word to defend himself. just silence. not even a hint of annoyance. this all sounds like i'm just taking things from canon and making a headcanon through that (which is fine), but then you realize that bel's only dislike listed on his "vongola 77" character page is himself. bel calling himself a genius & making his royalty a statement is sometimes simply just for mischief, a funny excuse he likes to throw around, and other times a cover. maybe a few times, he actually believes it. when he succeeds.
on the other hand, rasiel fully believes that he is better than everyone else. i have no doubt about that. even when bel won once, he still thinks bel is inferior. that bel is trash in comparison to himself. but in the end, he got destroyed by bel's boss who labels *him* trash. throwing that straight at his ego.

do you think john finds any comfort in the fact that people probably assume his scars are from funky occult adventures and demon fights and not his childhood

Oh if you like textures in music have you ever listened to Cosmo Sheldrake? It's very nice imo.. a lot of sounds. Even birds songs I think they're pretty old..
i will listen to more maybe since i like some of the titles and birds, but only have liked a couple i heard, one that was fun and had a second vocalist (mind of rocks) and one that was extremely barebones and seemed recorded in a forest or something (Green Grass? live). apart from that the sound is a bit too digital for me, like yknow when the drums are digital in something and you notice and then realise theres not as much to grip onto? and in a clean bouncy way that sounds a bit too much like kids tv music to me (his vocals add to to it i think, reminds me of cbeebies or something not sure). not that kids music is bad at alal but its not th vibe i want to listen to rly lol
