i’ve recently been interested in learning more about fashion, do you have any books you’d recommend on the topic? when i googled it i was overwhelmed by the many avenues i could take. different fashion houses? textiles? history? coffee table books? idk idk please point me

Oh, totally. So the first thing to do is to not care at all how you approach fashion and do whatever makes your brain go brrr. In my opinion, it's better to treat it like a medium than a genre. Think of the project as saying "I want to get into movies. Where should I start?" Well, I can give you some points of entry, but which direction you want to go will depend completely on taste, and you're not doing it wrong if one way of engaging doesn't work for you.

I'm a fan of the kind of head-y stuff that happens in fashion theory, which is a journal of people... writing what they think about fashion and where it comes from! Then there's Who's Who in Fashion, which is a helpful reference text for names/designers, helps you sort of get the lay of the land. Learning about fashion houses will come naturally as you start to recognize quirks of particular designers; I wouldn't worry about it. Knowing the difference between LV and Gucci is kind of like knowing the difference between your favorite bands: you could read the Wikipedia and research their history and know everything there is to know about why they are the way they are, and that stuff's fascinating, or you could just listen to their stuff and go, "oh, this band sounds this way, because it's this band." Both can be enriching.

Are you interested in high fashion? Models on runways, stuff-you-can't-see-at-the-Trader-Joe's kind of thing? I would start by literally watching fashion shows, developing a taste for the designers you like. That will build up your visual vocabulary. And here's a sample (slightly outdated) guide to the major fashion houses and their creative directors, just in case it helps. Note: getting into high fashion will also (probably) change what you tend to like! A lot of what people think is weird or "ugly" in contemporary HF is designers in conversation with their own history; it's references and visual nods and playful spins on old concepts, just like writing or painting. Once you've seen enough pretty dresses, you stop being impressed by a pretty dress, and you start being impressed by artists who can use clothes to tell you something interesting. (With bonus points if it's also a pretty dress.)

Coffee table books are not my favorite, because I think they're usually not too interested in the theory behind what's happening. But maybe that's the way you want to engage it: as visual art that you enjoy looking at and drawing your own conclusions about! That's also correct and fine. This is all your playground. Good luck, godspeed, look fabulous, etc.

⚠️warning inspired:Phantom of the Opera (original by Gaston Leroux) contents:blood, swearing, yandere discotrain, mental illness, mind control, death, serious bullying, machine translation

🎬In the original work, Subcon Forest is the stimulating world and the Mafia is Persia. The Forest gives the Phantom different values. Having studied in the forest, he completed the Labyrinth of Mirrors for the Mafia.

🎬Next to the bird city is Subcon Forest. It is a place of artistic community and frozen time concepts. There are flowers and ice everywhere, and music is playing.

🎬Snatcher lives in Subcon Forest with his many friends. Of course he offers contracts to intruders, but his goal is friends, not souls.

🎬He is very jovial and lonely. He hates loneliness and loves art. He will try anything that interests him, but basically he paints.

🎬Subcon Forest has many residents. Minicons, spirits, Moonjumper, florist, Vanessa, cats, shapeshifter, birds, and more. They all hone their own art and appreciate others.

🎬Vanessa is good at ice sculpting and Moonjumper is the only doctor in the forest. Anyway, there are many dwellers. There are many forms of art. This means that the forest is not a completely safe zone. Snatcher does not demand that the dwellers follow common sense. No matter how good the rules are, conflicts due to cultural differences are inevitable.

🎬Subcon Forest regularly hosts an art presentation. It is a very big festival, and only on that day intruders are allowed to enter the forest without a contract. Naturally, food is also served. One must check for hallucinogenic drugs, though.

🎬Phantom was a dweller in the forest at one time. This means he is a friend of Snatcher's so he has free access to the forest. He is basically in the cellar of the cinema, but if he needs someone's help, he will turn to the forest dwellers.

🎬He learned more advanced magic there. At the freak circus, he could only learn very basic magic. But he was able to acquire enough knowledge and skills in the forest.

🎬Snatcher was originally a prince. But stress caused him to cut his ears and the ensuing infection took his life. That was the birth of Subcon Forest. Vanessa was the princess of a neighboring kingdom, but she is still alive. Importantly, vast tracts of time corrupted in an instant.

🎬The incident resulted in many deaths. They have become minicons and they are now living a new life in the forest, forgetting their painful previous lives. Snatcher feels very guilty about it, but all he can do for them is offer them a playground.

🎬Snatcher has tried everything that interests him, but he hates literature. Literature, both in writing and reading, requires errors of meaning in translation and an understanding of its background culture. But even with that much effort, it would be difficult to read the full artistic message of literature. It pains him that he has to dare to leave areas he does not understand untouched.

🎬Snatcher paints only for himself, but Bow writes for others. Their perspectives on art are quite different. Written expression? Snatcher believes that direct words should be expressed in their original form. Bow believes that words should be used with the reader in mind.

🎬The idea that art is only as good as its audience. From Snatcher's point of view, that is laziness. There is no freedom. The idea that art is about ego. From Bow's point of view, it is arrogance. There is no effort to communicate one's ideas to more people.

🎬Phantom also holds the view that art and audience are inseparable. What is the best thing of art? This idea has the best answer to this question. It is the deliberate manipulation and fixing of the audience's mindset. It is lazy without freedom. But it will make everyone happy.

🎬From time to time Mafia Boss comes to Subcon Forest. He is not interested in art in the slightest, but he comes once a month with various goods for the forest dwellers.

🎬He is an economic genius. He indirectly dominates about half of the planet through commerce. He has a small kingdom on an island and would rather be called "king" than "boss". Anyway, he has a keen interest in entertainment.

🎬He helped freak circus and built a huge amusement park. He likes to have fun. He found out Phantom through a sales visit to Subcon Forest and invited him to come to his kingdom.

🎬Well, I must say that ...... rosy times have come. He enjoyed Phantom's magic tricks every day, but after a year he grew bored with them. On a whim, he ordered Phantom to show him something gruesome and had Phantom build him the labyrinth of mirrors.

🎬I won't go into the details of the mechanism. Anyway, very cruel torture is possible there, and the owner of the palace could easily torment visitors with the flick of a switch. The boss found a new entertainment value in the immorality.

🎬He had Phantom build another castle palace in exchange for a beautiful hourglass he had recently found. It has a special wall structure and many hidden passages. The owner of the palace can hear gossip wherever he is.

🎬The boss liked the palace very much, but at the same time he began to fear the presence of Phantom. As long as he was there, the palace's security would not be perfect. He had to kill the yellow owl.

🎬The rest is simple. Phantom knows what the boss is up to, thanks to the special structure of the palace. The hourglass helped it and triggered a split in Phantom's time.

🎬The boss is a wayward person and likes children. He especially likes Timmy, who suddenly appeared and trusted him with the cinema. Yes, Timmy is an alien and a mafia.

🎬He didn't believe the " Phantom of the Cinema" rumors, and Timmy didn't believe them either. But if the little managers were actually in danger, he could always help them.

🎬He is involved in the management of the cinema in the form of a board member. Phantom does not take too kindly to him. To Phantom, Boss is an outsider who pollutes the bird city. The increase in the number of mafia stores has caused the loss of several traditional bird stores. He hates to see it.

🎬Timmy is very smart and likes to joke and prank. He doesn't know much about movies at all, so he had to have a movie specialist as his sidekick when he was running the cinema.

🎬Timmy and the Mustache Girl did not believe Phantom's rumors at first. Rather, they made fun of his warnings. They ignored Phantom's request not to sit in Box 5, but stopped doing so after the chandelier incident.

🎬They suspect that the identity of Phantom is one of the directors. They believe that someone created the " Phantom" in order to get out of work and that it is getting bigger.

🎬To them the boxkeeper is an insider, and to the boxkeeper they are the hated enemy. The boxkeeper demands that they accept the existence of Phantom. If they do not, his daughter will not be able to rise in the company.

🎬Boxkeepers receive many letters every day. The very first letter he received was the beginning of it all.

🎬Should I tell the story of the safety pin incident? It's a long story, read the original for the details! Phantom demands an "administrative fee" from them. A salary for managing the cinema's iconic abundance of water. And the right to use box 5 seats. Timmy refuses, but reluctantly pretends to comply after the chandelier incident. But the act did not go well, and all the pay was paid to the ghost.

🎬Importantly, they do not believe in the existence of Phantom. Timmy gradually begins to suspect that the mustache girl is stealing the envelope containing his paycheck. And indeed, the envelope is found in her pocket. Soon it is explained by the boxkeeper himself that it was the work of the boxkeeper, but which leads to the two of them keeping a close eye on each other. A safety pin was needed to remedy the situation.

FNAC Glamrocks Headcanons (renders not made by me)

Glamrock Candy's voice is like that of the Cat from that live action Cat in the Hat movie (you know the one), although not that chaotic he enjoys having all sorts of fun with the kids when he doesn't perform on stage he'll give out some candy to the kids. He admires Glamrock Freddy a lot and was distraught when he heard about what happened to the Pizza Plex.

Glamrock Cindy is Candy's sister. She is very sweet and a pleasant singer too, she has her own salon in their establishment similar to Roxy's hair salon in the Pizzaplex. When the doors are closed she'll do a little baking within her spare time off work, of course being one of the few females of the gang she's the one who has to break up the fights her brother and Rat get into.

Glamrock Chester is as you'd expect. From a banjo player he dons a different style with a sweet guitar, he can still play the banjo for some more chill shows at his jungle themed playground. Despite being a chimpanzee he was built with a monkey tail, no one knows why and he's fairly tired of the questions. Being a monkey he is the comedic guy of the group and sometimes does silly pranks involving banana peels scattered at random places. (staff really don't like when he does that)

Glamrock Blank doesn't perform at the main stage, instead he is at his little attraction with is an art museum. There children of all ages can draw whatever their imagination sparks and have their art displayed on the walls. Like the classic version he can be drawn on too, of course they aren't permanent his suit can be cleaned up easily with a simple hose wash. He's quite the artist himself and is very encouraging of people's creativity although he does not appreciate excessive hate or stealing of art and when he catches such a thing he will teach them a lesson in credit.

Glamrock Rat and Cat are both tag team drummers hailing a punk metal style. These two are bigger trouble makers then Chester, although they'll usually go at each other like in Tom & Jerry skits all in good fun and entertainment of course, otherwise they're best pals. Rat doesn't like Candy that much and often starts arguments with him in which Cindy has to step in, Cat is in different to all of it.

-There is no Glamrock Penguin concept or model made so I have nothing for the little guy.-

Glamrock Old Candy is a back up animatronic for if somethin were to go wrong with Candy and can't perform for a time. He's a very chill and mellow cat and doesn't mind his position, he's like an older brother for the Candy & Cindy twins hence his name Old Candy.

#fnaf security breach #fnac #glamrock candy #glamrock cindy #glamrock chester #glamrock blank #glamrock old candy #glamrock rat #glamrock cat #candy the cat #cindy the cat #chester the chimp #fnac blank #fnac old candy #fnac rat #fnac cat #FOR THE LOVE OF THE FNAFVERSE CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE RENDER A GLAMROCK PENQUIN MODLE I HATE THE LITTLE GUY BEING LEFT OUT!!!!

Sekai and Virtual Singer concepts for the April Fools swap units I've thought of (under cut because this is probably long, Sekais inspired by the 2DMVs)

Like Leo/need's, Aoharu/friends' Sekai is a school, though it is closer to an elementary school than anything due to the group's emphasis on enjoying one's youth. Complete with a playground, cozy music and art rooms, and a sky that's always blue, this world embodies the vibes of the group.

Their Miku is childlike and innocent, an excitable guitarist that wants to do every fun thing she can. Their Luka is akin to L/n's in terms of being like an older sister and bassist as well, but she's more spontaneous and young at heart, while having the aesthetics of a teacher as well.

YUME YUME JUMP!'s Sekai is almost like a dollhouse, filled with the things the group is passionate about, which slowly grows to feature more of what brings them together, alongsidd various flowers and greenery. This is due to how the group was meant to be merely temporary, before growing into something all four members could be proud of.

The group's Miku is akin to a ragdoll, falling apart a bit but still in love with singing, trying to be the best idol she can be despite not being made for it. The Sekai also has a shy Len that's a bit of an amateur idol as well, new to the field but wanting to catch up to Miku and the others.

Fantasista SQUAD has a Sekai that's almost like a mix between an alleyway and a theme park, like the streets during a festival. Covered in graffiti and whimsical decorations, with captivating shops and a café oddly familiar to the members of the group within it. The Sekai even has an arcade, and from within a claw machine living stuffed animals can come out and talk to the boys. A lot of this world seems to come from mainly Tsukasa's feelings.

Their Miku is energetic and impulsive, a cheerful street performing taking on every day with a smile. Meanwhile, their Kaito is a somewhat goofy yet responsible and caring figure, almost acting like a father or older brother towards the group at times.

Due to their motifs of heros, Happiness Sentai Sunny-Sunny☆Wonder!'s Sekai is said to be their "secret base", a stage within a theme park quite similar to Phoenix Wonderland. However, it is much less colorful and cheerful, and the rides almost seem to be frozen in place without someone there to operate them, as if it's stuck in time during a certain day in Mafuyu's past...

Like Mafuyu, their Miku is quiet and almost empty, appearing to have the ears and tail of a black cat. Innocent and soft-spoken, she greatly desires to help save Mafuyu. Their Rin is more akin to her childhood self, or people like Emu, happy and excited, always smiling and wanting to help others feel nice.

The Sekai for Fellow Hobbyists on Days Off is a mall, full of shops for almost anything, especially things the group's members like. It's incredibly happy, but a bit empty, reflecting the somewhat lonesome nature of the quartet's bond.

The Miku for this Sekai is akin to a mannequin, living in one of the clothing shops. Curious and passionate about the things the group loves, seeming to be most akin to Mizuki and Minori of the four. There is also a Meiko akin to N25's feeling that distance is necessary, living within an abandoned clothing shop with the curtains drawn back.

Hobbyists bonuses: if they ever end up doing music, Nene ("Robo") is their composer, Honami ("Ringo") is their lyricist, Minori ("Honey") their artist, and Mizuki ("Amia") is of course their video editor.

The Alienation of being a Filipino Aro

There's a kind of cultural alienation that comes with growing up aromantic and no I'm not just talking about how most aros and arospecs would note experience relationships the same way an allo person would.

I'm talking about an isolation away from community and culture that becomes apparent when you really sit down and think about it. A sort of disconnect from your community not for the fault of your own but just by the mere fact that most of society didn't even know you could possibly exist.

I'm Filipino. In the Philippines, romance is an inseparable part of culture. It's not only liked by many as a concept and theme in their stories and discussions, but it's put on a pedestal. It's a pedestal that I could never achieve.

Most media references romance to some capacity. Children's media would have a lot of focus and emphasis on a romantic subplot even if that shouldn't be the main focus of the story. TV shows for adults, even if it should have little to do with romance like game shows, would make references to romance as a universal thing.

Despite the Philippines being one of the top producers of movies, you'd probably have a hard time finding anything that isn't romance save for the few horror films and the occasional comedies and action movies that constitute maybe about 3 movies a year out of the dozens made by the industry. Even indie films have a huge focus on love, romance, and relationships with the extremely few being dramas that drag or depressed the audience. Don't get me started about how 99% of music is about love and loss.

Outside of media, Filipinos are extremely romantic and not just exclusively with their partners. PDA is everywhere and is even encouraged. It is not uncommon to see students at school holding hands and cuddling on campus being tolerated and even celebrated as long as they don't kiss in front of a teacher. This would be fine if people weren't force to participate in it.

From early on in elementary school, children would exchange gifts during Christmas as they sing out loud "I love my Monito/Monita, yes I do!" as they play secret santa, with gifts exchange between kids of two different genders being met with typical romantic teasing. It's a pretty common question in playground discussions to ask who your crush is and if you didn't had an answer, you would be called a liar if they don't outright call you weird.

Friendships with someone who isn't your own gender (heck even friendships with someone who is of the perceived same gender too) are often met with romantic teasing and ceaseless inquiry. Even people you've only talked to once, without any indication of goodwill, or even positivity, gets you years of teasing and harassment from school boys that think they're being cute. Some of these people even thought it appropriate to drag me into a "chain booth" where they would tie me up with another boy in class just to tease me. The fact that this is seen as something romantic let alone acceptable is beyond disgusting.

Even adults push this narrative of romance and relationships to the point that you probably couldn't last a single day in school without teachers talking about the woes of romance and love to try to seem hip with the kids. Poetry nights arranged by language arts club are filled with desperate cries about their beloved and love that could never be which extends not only to the artistic events of the month, but even just the casual school-wide assembly. Poems that portray the unresponsive as a bad guy, as the heartless who dares not return affection. It was all alienating.

What happens to a person whose entire existence is not seen and not only not seen but dismissed entirely by the community? What happens to a person who can't find themselves in their own local media? To the person who can't relate to their community and peers? To the person being pressured to desire something that doesn't make sense to them? To the person being forced to be something they're not? All by their community and culture?

It's different for everyone, but in my case, I looked to somewhere else.

I found comfort in foreign media that didn't feel like it was talking down at me for not pursuing romance. I found comfort in English communities that didn't harass me and forced me to conform to an idealized romance. I found comfort in a place foreign, outside of the Filipino culture that does not have room for people like me.

This has made me avoid a lot of Filipino media, discussions, and communities even online. Why should I seek out a place that would fundamentally misunderstand me? That would alienate me and make me feel unhuman just as it did while I was growing up? That would pressure me to do things against my will?

It was empowering to find a community outside the community. It was as if I had found a secret club that understood me more than the people I knew for literal years. It was welcoming and warm and nice. Until things felt... off.

I look at this new community, this community away from community and realize something that has been bugging me for a good few months now.

This place also feels alien.

Discussions here may not revolve around a constant stream of love, romance, relationships, and heartbreak, but they are in a language spoken that's foreign to me. Not that the words being typed in English is the problem, no, even the shows back home speak loads of the language. It was something else.

The discourse was alien. The discourse was American.

Most of the discussions and the media around being aro places it squarely in the west. I've noticed that I even try to lessen my Filipino-ness at times when I would discuss my aro experiences despite the two being quite intertwined. I felt a bit of embarrassment just even thinking of bringing it up since it felt out of place. This didn't feel like the appropriate time to discuss this, but if not now, then when?

Discord servers, although international, are mostly filled with American aros and if not Europeans. Major blogs and resources are run by westerners who primarily discuss western issues and discourse. Those that try to cater to a more general discussion about aromanticism feels hollow as culture and community is stripped to its very basics to avoid alienating everyone else.

Now I'm typing this all out to reflect in it further. I'm still at this awkward place in figuring out how to handle these ideas. The reality that I'm not truly a part of my Filipino culture as someone aromantic, and the reality that I'm a foreigner to the aromantic community as a Filipino still messes with my brain.

I want to be clear, this is no one's direct fault. It is definitely more of an issue that a person only encounters when they don't fit the larger culture's idea of the standard, whether it be being an alloromantic Filipino or a western aro. I am not calling for all of the aro community to make space for me specifically just because I feel weird and awkward as a Filipino and I'm not calling on all Filipinos to keep checking on their amatonormativity just because I can't relate with their gushy romance.

Either way, I guess I have to try my best to create spaces for myself and open the discussion on both sides. Maybe I would finally start to feel less alien in my own skin.

EXCLUSIVE: Young K sends ‘Letters with notes’ to fans in joyous return; talks about evolving as a musician, upcoming DAY6 anniversary

By Monica Yadav

“This time can’t be stopped / When the season changes / where no regrets are left / this time is aflame / followed by blooming spring / remember this time / never let it fade away / for all my life / let it be summer,” – croons singer-songwriter Young K in his pre-release track ‘Let It Be Summer’ from his full-length album Letters With Notes. As the 29-year-old multi-hyphenated musician is back from his two-year hiatus (as he was serving in the military), he compares his life to the changing seasons while expressing the desire to maintain youthful enthusiasm. The melodic pop-punk track definitely enhances the vocals of the gifted singer, who was missed from the music scene for the past two years. Over the past 8 years, Young K, birth name Kang Young Hyun, has about 160 songs copyrighted under his name. He has been the bassist, lead vocalist, and rapper in DAY6 and continues to excel as a versatile singer. He is easily one of the most valuable musicians of our time who often dabbles in different genres including rock, pop-rock, and alternative rock. Returning to the music scene after two years with Letters with notes, the 11-track album, which he was heavily involved in from scratch, sees him play with a lot of nostalgia. While ‘dreamer’ has influences of ‘60s rock-n-roll, ‘babo’ has elements of ‘60s rock with the groove of R&B; ‘waited’ has that ‘90s melodic modern rock rhythm, ‘playground’ infuses the elements of ‘60s Motown funk and rhythm and blues. He ended the song ‘Guard You’ from his 2021 album Eternal with ‘I’ll Hold You Until The End’ and begins with the same lyric in ‘nothing but’, the title track of his new album where he is unable to let go of the love. It is poetic how he uses a metaphor for the world ending in the first track whereas in his latest track, uses the same line as his world is collapsing. There is a reason Young K is called a gifted musician. He plays around with sounds and easily makes you go through varied emotions. This album takes you on a journey of different phases of love, which comes in any form, and the beauty and intricacies of it. Discharged from his military service in April 2023, Young K became the first Korean idol to join the Korean Augmentation to the United States Army (KATUSA). It is the branch of military service that requires applicants with fluency in English to a high degree and only recruits about 2,000 men every year. Between April and August, he had four months to prepare and complete the album. Addressing his fans over the three-day concert held at Kwangwoon University’s Donghae Culture and Arts Center in Nowon-gu, Seoul between September 1-3, Young K said, as per Korea Herald, “The opening to today’s set list is also the first track in my new album. While working on this song, I imagined the moment I finally stepped on stage to meet you. The first words that came to my mind were, ‘I’m nervous,’ and that’s how I started the lyrics. Then I wanted to ask if you’ve been well and eaten well. I’m so happy to be performing in front of you.” Before enlisting, Young K exclusively told Bollywood Hungama in 2021, “I learned to love more. The love My Days have shown made me think about it a lot and since I write and sing about it, I guess it was one of the biggest issues and concepts I tried to know more about. I can't say I know what love exactly is, but I did learn how to give more.” Now, as he returned, we spoke to him again and this time. He had a lot more to share about his craft and his creative process of making Letters with notes.

First and foremost Young K, welcome back. The music scene has missed you and your soothing vocals. How much have you missed releasing music for your audience?

Young K: First of all, thank you for the kind words. It's been a while, so I've waited for this moment quite a lot. As an artist, I thought it'd be important to come back with an album as soon as possible, so here it is.

Congratulations on the Letters with notes. One of the teasers said ‘6 sides of Young K’ and mentioned Hexagon. Symbolically, the hexagon also stands for harmony and balance. After your return from the military, what significance does this album hold for you and why was this an apt album title?

Young K: 'Letters With Notes' can mean the lyrics, which are literally letters that has notes. The sum of those letters turns into a song, which is an individual letter sent to the world. 11 letters all combined, the album itself became 'Letters With Notes'.

A full-length album is truly a heavy work. When did you begin to put together 11 tracks? Which was the first track and last track you worked on?

Young K: All of the recordings began after I was discharged, but I had been having ideas beforehand. So it's really hard to say when the exact album preparation began. All of the ideas were mixed up, so I don't really remember which one came first.

The pre-release pop-punk track ‘let it be summer’ truly narrates the youthful enthusiasm of life. Also, the song is so Young K, it’s great to see you back. Where do you draw the inspiration for a song like this one?

Young K: The track itself had a very powerful energy, so I wanted to narrate something that would match the vibe. I thought youth holds an explosion of feelings and emotions, so I tried comparing life to change of seasons, having summer as the most burning era.

There are 11 tracks on the album but you chose ‘nothing but’ as the main track. The blending of the '60s British sound with 80s American hard rock ballads is a truly unique way to approach the song. The song is about someone ‘unable to let go of love’. Tell me your approach regarding this track and how you decided on making it the title song.

Young K: Producer Jisang Hong and I were talking about how I tend to have a hard time letting go of things. And I guess this concept turned into a song. An example would be – sometimes me having a hard time leaving food behind even when there's no need to finish everything. After submitting all the demos, we went through a monitoring system to choose a title song. And ‘nothing but' was selected.

There are so many favourites on the album but one particular track that caught attention was ‘natural’ which signifies that you don’t have to be insecure in love. Am I right? What can you tell me about it?

Young K: The word 'natural' caught my attention for some reason, and I started thinking about what could be natural. Breathing, having a meal, the flow of time and such came to my mind. It added on to how it's natural to love, so there's no need to worry.

This album feels so personal in terms of how you go about the storytelling. When you work on an album on this scale where you have so many songs to create, what is the progression like? Is it exciting or does it get stressful?

Young K: It's always exciting and stressful at the same time. To make sure it's made at a good quality, even when it seems like it's over I feel like there has to be a point where you go through it. So I always check whether it's good to be presented or not. I'm not a perfectionist, but it's the least I can do.

Thematically, the album seems to be about different stages. What is it about “love” that excites and do you think you were able to showcase it through this full-length album?

Young K: "Love" can be in countless different forms. Love for your family, love for My Days(fans), love towards music, etc. Without love in our lives, I feel like it'd be very difficult to go on.

Are you someone deeply romantic? Is this why the majority of themes of your music reflect that emotion?

Young K: I consider myself a storyteller as I'm writing, and I guess I wish to talk about various stories from many different views. In music, I don't think I want to define that storyteller as someone in a certain way. So yes, sometimes romantic, sometimes maybe not.

Are you someone who is hyper-focused during the process of album making or someone who enjoys a good balance between work and life?

Young K: I would prefer a good balance of work and life. I don't feel like I need to be intensely focused on album-making only for a period of time, but when I am at the session, I am focused.

What do you enjoy more – songwriting or producing? Are there any times when you feel words aren’t flowing how you wanted? In those times, where do you seek inspiration from?

Young K: Whenever I get a writer's block, I take a break. Short or long. I try to refresh my mind and look around. If nothing found, I try to let my mind take me anywhere to come up with something that's adequate for the music. That's also why in my everyday life I let myself be open to all the ideas that come to me. For now, I consider myself a singer and a performer most importantly. And the rest, I'm good with anything.

The fans are so happy to see you back doing radio. That gives so much joy to everyone but also showcases your relaxed side. Are you elated to be back? Do you enjoy being on the radio?

Young K: Radio lets me look into bits of many lives. I get to communicate with lots of new people and think from different perspectives. For example, a kid says she really doesn't want to go to school. The next person says she also doesn't want to go to school, but this time, it’s coming from a teacher. Another merit would be me being able to send my voice to My Days and my parents every day. How can I not be elated?

DAY6 will complete 8 years on September 7, a day prior to my birthday, which I am always pumped about. Interestingly, the album drops in the same month. Is this month special to you? Have you ever sat back and wondered about your musical journey over the years?

Young K: Happy Birthday! From time to time I tend to look back on what I've done. I realize what I've done good, and what I’ve lacked. I learn from the mistakes and grow. The more I get to know, the more I see. Never perfected it, but it was the best that I could do.

I have often wondered if you ever had a chance to watch any content from India or heard any of the artists. If yes, what or who are they?

Young K: I'm still not quite familiar with artists from India, but I'm willing to know more! Please give me recommendations!

The last time you left a message for Indian fans of DAY6, they were extremely delighted and also praying for your safe return. Is there a message you want to leave for fans on this comeback?

Young K: I gotta say thank you for all the support. The only thing I wish for you guys is to stay healthy and happy. Hope I get a chance to visit you guys too!

#young k #day6 #day6 even of day #kang younghyun #brian kang #album: letters with notes #young k: interviews #[i'm always so amazed at how his answers are so intentional and thought out he's just SO good with words]

Hi! I saw your tags on my post about AI and I was wondering what your job is that you are forced to use AI? Or just, what exactly are you using the AI for? I didn't know that work places were already incorporating ai in such a way that you would HAVE to use it.

Please don't answer either question if you feel they are too personal or if you just don't want to answer them for any reason at all. I'm just curious, is all!

Thank you for reading this and I hope you have a wonderful day!! 😊

Hey! Thanks for reaching out, I really don’t mind answering, and talking about ai generated art is pretty relevant to my career so this might be long lol.

my job is a part time graphic design student position at my university. Right now I’m working on a presentation where I have to visualize a lot of technology/ products/ and architecture that don’t really currently exist. My supervisor told me I should try using playground for some images and I was just like, ya ok I’ll try it.

(Personal opinions alert) I never used any ai image generation before bc I’ve always seen it as just stealing art. And I have no personal desire for ai writing/ visual art- it completely misses the point of making art to me.

But I am a designer which isn’t necessarily the same thing as an artist- and I don’t really get paid enough or have the time to start ethical conversations at my job. So forced was definitely a strong word to use haha but ai is really looming over the whole graphic design industry.

I know of some firms that proudly use mid journey and with a lot of free software available ai is being used more in low risk, low reward scenarios. It’s definitely not a necessity but there are designers that see it as a good way to save time but their design intent/ decision making is still at play.

But tbh the playground images I’ve ‘made’ look pretty bad and I think a sketch or photoshoped concept would look more sophisticated.

Tldr: ai image generation is being used in graphic design workplaces, but it’s not the main software being used at all. (I would argue bc it’s not good enough yet, and there is a lot of skepticism on the ethics of it)

#ai art #kind of a long post but I could go on way longer on the distinctions between designer and artist but I digress #also my theory is that graphic designers rn who are ambitious about their careers often identify more as #problem solvers or storytellers or deisgn thinkers or any name that places more emphasis on the thinking aspect of design over the visuals #which isn’t total bs but I feel like taht attitude of the ‘important’ part of deisgn is the thinking #not the actual creation is what makes ai appealing to designers #but I think people should read how to steal like an artist #ok that was a lot of tags

Hi! Read this please!

Welcome to my playground! You'll mostly see art here, as I am an artist. This is your warning: I AM NOT STRICTLY SFW. I post whatever I feel like, and that includes NSFW art/potentially triggering artwork. Rest assured they will be tagged and marked properly.

My commissions are open! Before you request a commission from me, please refer to this post: here.

About roleplaying: Not currently looking to do that sort of thing. I might make a blog dedicated to that in the future. But for now, no roleplays, sorry!

Send me asks! I take requests, and I love answering questions!

Please use she/they pronouns when addressing me, and you can call me PJ or Rosey. I'm 20, queer (aroace), suspected autistic, and a huge chocoholic.

Right now I'm working on Student's Echoes, a take on the Undertale NaJ AU owned by Dreamy's Mess, with some extra l o r e. You can check out Student's Echoes here: @studentsechoes

On this blog, I am working on Researcher Lewis. A very dark, twisted version of Lewis from Meet the Robinsons. Yes, he will be connected to my other major project (Student's Echoes). How? You'll have to wait and see... This is Researcher Lewis' basic concept. (cw: vent art/disturbing imagery) (to find Researcher Lewis posts, use #researcher lewis)

I am also working on Pasteltale. A very dark - but brightly colored - Undertale AU. It's gonna be bright, gorey, grotesque... everything I love! It will mostly appear as still images with some small comics here and there. This is Pasteltale's basic concept. (to find Pasteltale posts, use #pasteltale)

Other minor things I have here: Vampireverse (my reboot) - I have a version of the Vampireverse originally created by someone I do not wish to name. A version where Jasper is part Siren, and in love with a village girl named Lucy. PJ's Daycare (my reboot) - A story more geared towards older/mature audiences, it follows PJ - a recovering addict sentenced to community service and reform via therapy. Along this journey, he discovers a lot about himself. Various Lewis AUs - I LOVE Meet the Robinsons, and its main character, Lewis. I make tons of AUs of Lewis, and may occasionally share them here. Unicornverse - Underverse. But they're magical sparkly unicorns. This is a self indulgent thing, to be honest.

Themed Playlists - I like making playlists around a certain character, ship, or theme. You can check them out on Spotify! (Names act as the link.) Calamitree - A playlist for Bradilo (Bradley x Milo) from Milo Murphy's Law. Featuring two distinct sides of the relationship. Freckles - A playlist themed around my reboot version of Lewis from Meet the Robinsons. Missing Summer with PJ - Doodling on the bus seats while wishing it were Summer is better than going to school, says PJ. (NaJ PJ themed playlist.) Subject 07 - He has every right to be miserable, but he has a lot of love to give. Rainbow Trinkets - Jam out with Kawaii Lewis with all of your best colorful accessories on!

My persona's name is Rosey, and you can find her reference sheet here. Use #rosey's log to find out more about her.

I have two besties on here. @arinthehunter and @thecrispykoala! They're dating each other, and I couldn't be happier for them. Arin specifically is not only helping me write for Student's Echoes, but she's also writing her own fanfiction over on AO3. Go to her blog for details~

Do not interact: MAP/MAP supporters (pedos get out), TERFs, queerphobic/LGBT-phobic, crpyto-bros/NFT supporters, proshippers, ableists, misogynists, white supremecists/pretty much anyone who doesn't support movements such as BLM, racists, super straights I want this blog to be free of hate, so take your ass and shove it. Content Warnings Researcher Lewis: Blood, gore, psychological horror, disturbing imagery, grotesque imagery, torture, dehumanization, abuse (all forms), needles, alcohol(?), drugs Pasteltale: Blood, gore (pastel variety), extreme violence, grotesque imagery Special note for minors: Posts that might be triggering or too explicit for you will be marked as mature or tagged with "tw" type tags. I am not responsible for anything that happens to you. You have read the warnings, it is your call whether you heed them or not. Scroll safely and cautiously.

Enjoy my playground! Please be civil!

Hey all, here are my creativity test results. Think there's some work to be done! Here are some design preferences and prejudices too:

Design Preferences:

Subversive Film - I am absolutely crazy about movies. I won’t sit here and try to argue that there’s one kind I love more than any other, because I’ve seen so many that I can find one from any genre that I absolutely adore. Still, I have extra respect for movies that push the boundaries of what can/should be done in film. I love any film that goes out of its way to defy the medium and any established rules of filmmaking. Within these terms, I’ll mention a few favorites: Mulholland Drive (2001), Pierrot Le Fou (1965), Persona (1966), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), and Gummo (1997) stand out above many others to me. If I had to pick a favorite genre, it’d probably be horror, but if it ever comes down to movies I’m ready to talk all day about them.

Sample Heavy Music - I adore the art of sampling. Few things give me as much of a genuine rush as when I’m listening to an album and I recognize the origin of a sample used in a song. My favorite album of all time is “Since I Left You” by The Avalanches, an album under the Plunderphonics subgenre that is made up of between 900 to 3,500 different samples, depending on who you ask. It is an album full of lively, danceable tunes that I cannot recommend enough. Other artists I love for their sampling abilities are Daft Punk, DJ Shadow, the Beastie Boys, MF DOOM, Madlib, Earl Sweatshirt, and Boards of Canada.

Varying Kinds of Literature - I would hesitate to call myself well read, but I do try my best to read as much as I can. I think the novel is one of the most powerful mediums, since it can be formed in any way the author sees fit. It is truly a playground for creativity and I’ve found great pleasure in many kinds of literature, so I’ll name a few writers and works I love: Cormac McCarthy (Blood Meridian, All The Pretty Horses), Flannery O’Connor (Wise Blood, A Good Man is Hard to Find, Good Country People), David Foster Wallace (Infinite Jest, Good Old Neon), Thomas Pynchon (Inherent Vice, Gravity’s Rainbow), and Toni Morrison (Beloved). I think what I love most about these writers/works is how much they all utilize the flexibility of the novelistic form to create worlds and characters that could not be rendered in any other medium, or at least would be very difficult to.

Design Prejudices:

Minimalistic or Overly Plain Branding: I know many people generally despise the concept of branding as a whole, but I think I’ve pretty much come to terms with its universality. I often find that I grow attached to some kinds of branding, particularly logos, which upsets me even more whenever companies go out of their way to “rebrand” to some minimalistic junk. I understand the need (or perceived need) to appear modern/sleek/cool but to me there is nothing cool about something that looks like it can belong to any old brand. Some entities who I believed have changed their branding for the worse over the years: Pringles, Snapple, La Liga, Firefox, and Google. God forbid they do anything to the Coca-Cola logo.

Clothing With the Brand Name on It: This one is real specific. I won’t pretend that I have a clue when it comes to fashion; my method for getting dressed every day is to wear whatever happens to be at the top of my drawer. Still, I find that I simply refuse to buy any clothing where the brand’s or store’s name is just blasted onto the front of it. The worst for this are places like Hollister, Aeropostale, even some of the hype-beast luxury brands, but special mention to Gap because I didn’t think I could hate 3 plain letters on a hoodie so much.

Sitcoms About Nice/Overly Dumb People: Full disclosure, I have a dark sense of humor (within reason, obviously). I find that what makes me laugh in comedy is people acting completely awful. Think shows like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Veep. It works best because it shows the absurdity of life and the situations that arise from it. That’s why so many other comedies simply don’t work for me; they’re too focused on being nice that they just end up feeling toothless and milquetoast. I won’t name the shows I don’t like out of respect (it’s hard to write and direct!) but it’s something that always gets on my nerves.

If you didn't have to worry about money for the rest of your life, what would you change/ try to acomplish?

I'd just like to make games. I learned how to draw and that was my passion for a long time, but whenever people would ask me about "growing up to become an artist" it was never, like, the primary thing I wanted to do. But I never knew what else I wanted to do.

Until in middle school or whatever and I started asking questions like "How are video games made?" I roped some friends in and we brainstormed some ideas, but even after they fell off, I kept at it. I taught myself how to make games. I reverse engineered other people's programming. I wanted to make games so badly that I basically brute forced my way in to it.

I would love to make a finished version of OverBite, sure. Submitting a pitch to Devolver and getting rejected for that really made me take a hard look at OverBite and it shook me out of seeing it as this precious project of mine. OverBite kind of sucks (no pun intended). But it sucks because of the limitations of a game jam. A lot of game jams are teams of 2-5 people and I did most of OverBite by myself. All the coding, all the art, even down to the sounds -- I voice Dracula and a lot of his audio (the slashes, whooshes, etc.) is me making mouth sounds. I also wasn't super clear on my design of OverBite and it changed a lot at the last second (the original plan was more of a Metroidvania with a level up system).

It's okay to say that OverBite is kind of boring, I think. Too many traversal options that are all too similar (but also difficult to execute), not enough environmental variety (I built all of its levels in the last few hours of the jam), and some of the later levels get too big and too complex. There's a lot of room for refinement. And I've been slowly accumulating ideas to help diversify the game over the last seven years.

I'd also just like to make more fan games. I know some people out there are like "No, you should make original games" but honestly that seems ridiculous to me. I realize there's a whole legal quagmire about being "paid to make fan games" and my opinion on it is that you should not accept money for fan game development. Fan games should not be funded on Patreon, and they should not be funded on Kickstarter, which obviously makes large-scale fan game development difficult. But unfortunately that's the law and you're inviting a lot of trouble if you go against that. Not just trouble for your own project, but trouble for everyone around you.

Do not put rights holders into a situation where they HAVE to enforce that law. Do not be the martyr that spoils everything for your community just because you're too selfish to scale your project properly (or worse, be the sort of asshole that thinks you deserve to pocket a couple bucks for making a fangame).

But if the money solved itself for me, separate from all that? Like if people donated to my Patreon to support me having food and housing just because they liked who I am and the general concept of "whatever I'm doing next"?

I would love to be able to fully dedicate myself to finishing that Bubsy project. Or doing that remake of MarioWeen I've been mulling over for 11+ years. Or actually finishing a Sonic fan game for once. Or that Ghostbusters RPG. Not to make money from them, or fill out a portfolio, but just to be able to express that creativity. Doing them because I want to play in that playground. A person is allowed to have these thoughts and desires, even if they do not have legal ownership of the license.

(I have also, if you cannot tell, had a video brewing in my head about the legality of fan games, why people make them, and crowd funding them. There are definitely Things To Say about the topic.)

More than drawing, more than writing, more than video production, that is probably the number one thing I'd like to do if I didn't have to worry about putting food in my fridge.

But game development feels like such an uncertainty nowadays. The floodgates have burst, there's an endless fire hose of new games that never stops, and great stuff gets buried all the time. I realize Youtube is also a monstrous content stream, but comparatively, there's "less risk" insofar as videos take less effort to produce.

Like, yes, I went through hellish anguish for 4 and a half months on that Sonic Adventure 2 video, but it resulted in a tightly edited end product that's 46 minutes long. If you gave me that much time for game development, I could not give you a finished product that lasted 45 minutes, and I could not give you a game that would even earn a measly $100 in sales.

Fulfilling video games take years to make and are a much larger gamble overall.

Plus, I already "have my foot in the door" on Youtube -- I'm making real, tangible money, and I have over 27,000 subscribers. That's more than 90% of Youtube. It needs to be more, a lot more, but they'll come. I've been doing Youtube for more than a decade and a half, and most of that 27,000 didn't show up until the last 4-6 years.

The simple fact is I'd need a lot more time and a lot more money to establish myself as an indie developer in the same way I'm already established on Youtube, even if I'd rather be making games. To some people I am BlazeHedgehog, the founder of SAGE, the creator of Sonic TFH, the person who massively shook up MFGG and caused a flood of newbies to dominate the forums in 2005, etc. But the mainstream at large doesn't know that. There are a lot of places -- most places, actually, I'd argue -- where I'm a nobody. The mainstream at large only sort of knows me as "that guy who made that one Sonic 06 video" and "the dude with the modding tutorial videos."

Don't take that to mean that video editing does not make me happy. I've been editing video almost as long as I've been making games! I was teaching myself to cut together AMVs in 1998 at the same time I was learning the ropes of Corel Click & Create. They go hand in hand. I am a shotgun of creativity and it goes in all directions.

But at least for right this second, deep in my heart of hearts, I would make more games right now if I could afford to.

(And I say that fully implying that my heart is like the wind and I've flip-flopped back and forth between gamedev and video production based on fleeting whims before. The grass is always greener on the other side of the creative outlet.)

Maximalism

maximalism i feel is coming back into trends with fashion and decor lately.

i am currently in Love with maximalism as much as other people right now. So i really want to take a deep dive into maximalism's history.

1800s

In the late 1800s maximalism was a so called revolution in the world of art with more artists preferring bold colors and patterns in their work.

designers such as William Morris and Aubrey Beardsley embraced the concepts of maximalism. The movement is an example of modern maximalism by its embracement or ornamentation and the beauty of intricate motifs and typography.

1900s

jumping forward several decades, the 60s and 70s psychedelic imagery found its place in the maximalist repository by providing another revival of ornament not previously seen in the modernism trends of the 40s and 50s. decor and fashion leaned more towards the 'out there' style rather than the 'stay in the box' style seen in the last two decades.

early 2000s

Mcbling had revived the maximalist category yet again in the early 2000s.

Music and fashion had heavy influence on the visual style of this era, as well as the overwhelming interest everyone had in celebrity's. sparkly embellishments and bursting expressions of color and pattern are hallmarks of the Mcbling style.

2020s

the rise of the hyperpop music genre had influenced maximalism back into trends once again, this time with a more contemporary graphic and futuristic design. Acidgrafix is another contemporary micro-style that has a similarly all-consuming aesthetic.

these aesthetics are far from boring and very loud. its neglect of design standards and conventions makes it a playground for expression and experimentation.

well thats the end of what i have for now. i will definitely be making another post but it will be about modernism, most likely. thank you for reading and please come back for me <3 xoxo

Conversation between I and AI [On DISØRDINARY BƏAUTY 🥀🪞] I: If the glitch art collection Disordinary Beauty by Domenico Barra was made by artificial intelligence, what would AI add to the quality of the project in terms of concept and artistic realization? AI: The AI could add a new level of complexity to the project by introducing new techniques and algorithms that are not available to human artists. AI could also bring a greater level of precision and detail to the project, allowing for a higher level of realism and complexity to be achieved. AI could also bring a greater understanding of the underlying concepts of the artwork, allowing for a more meaningful exploration of the themes of the project. Finally, AI could open up new possibilities in terms of the creation and exploration of new types of glitch art, allowing for the exploration of new forms of expression and creativity. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• DISØRDINARY BƏAUTY 🥀🪞 The thorn sense of beauty.

Artist Research

Damien Hirst

Since emerging onto the international art scene in the late 1980s, Damien Hirst has created installations, sculptures, paintings, and drawings that examine the complex relationships between art and beauty, religion and science, and life and death. From serialized paintings of multicolored spots to animal specimens preserved in tanks of formaldehyde, his work challenges contemporary belief systems, tracing the uncertainties that lie at the heart of human experience.

Works by Hirst:

'A Thousand Years'

Life and death are oppositions, but they are also a cycle. The most power piece that addresses this concept is A Thousand Years. In an enclosed glass vitrine, maggots hatch inside a white box, turn into flies and feed on a bloody severed cow’s head lying on the floor. Flies circle around in the vitrine. Some hit the insect-o-cutor and die, others survive and continue the cycle. Here, the glass vitrine bears a clean and minimal geometry, while messy life and death of organic matter is contained inside, creating a literal enactment of birth, death, and decay.

'The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living'

Also known as The Shark, was created in 1991. Charles Saatchi commissioned this shark-in-formaldehyde artwork and then subsequently sold it to Steven A. Cohen in 2004. The first tiger shark was substituted with a replacement specimen in 2006 due to degradation.

The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living aims to reframe basic problems about the nature of existence and the frailty of physiological existence. Hirst uses display cases as both a portal and a barrier, visually captivating the observer while also giving a simple geometry to enclose, confine, and objectify his material.

'Schizophrenogenesis Sculptures'

Predominantly based upon the minimalist aesthetic of the medicinal pill, the works on display act as a continuation of Hirst’s life-long investigation into our almost-spiritual relationship with the rigors of science and the pharmaceutical industry.

Sculptures of medicine bottles, pharmaceutical boxes, ampoules, syringes, a scalpel, and drug packaging that all play with concepts of scale – the tallest measuring nearly one and a half meters – combine to form an Alice in Wonderland playground of pharmaceuticals which further Hirst’s enduring exploration of contemporary belief systems; religion, love, art and medicine. The manipulation of scale, is just one of the techniques employed by the artist to analyze the confident aesthetic of the pharmaceutical industry.
