Jupiter's Boundlessness: The Union of Good & Evil

Something I have noticed for a long time is how Jupiter natives often play multiple roles within a single project. Be it movies or music videos, I often see them channelling the boundlessness of Jupiter by literally embodying several characters. As Claire Nakti explored in her Jupiter makeover video, duality and transformation are huge themes in the lives of Jupiter natives. This duality is not just a light vs dark one but also a masculine versus feminine one. Jupiter women especially being internally masculine often channel this in different ways. But beyond the "duality" is the "multiplicity", because of their vast, internal spaciousness they feel as though they are many many different people with many different interests and abilities. This is why Jupiter natives are kind and generous because their vastness allows them to literally put themselves in the shoes of others but it can also feel very confusing and tiring. You stretch yourself that wide, you might snap, feel empty and burnt out because you feel so chained by being a very limited narrow definition of "you".

Mariah Carey, Punarvasu Moon

She plays both herself and her obsessive stalker (based on Eminem) in her MV for Obsessed

She fights the evil brunette version of herself in her MV for Heartbreaker

She also has an alter ego named Bianca who is the opposite of her and even speaks with a British accent lmao

Here is a clip of Mariah being interviewed by her alter ego Bianca

In fact, I'd say that having an alter ego is in itself kind of a Jupiterean experience since these natives embody duality or feel like they contain so many contradictory energies or that they're "opposites".

Miley Cyrus, Vishaka Moon plays Miley and Hannah on Hannah Montana, a whole show that revolves around a girl trying to manage her alter ego.

Dua Lipa, Punarvasu Moon battles with her other self in her MV for IDGAF

Troye Sivan, Punarvasu Rising plays a female version of himself in the MV for his song One of Your Girls

Ruby Rose, Punarvasu Moon, Swati Rising captures her transformation from a traditional feminine woman to her more butch androgynous self in Break Free

youtube

Destiny's Child's mv for Lose My Breath features the trio battling their alter egos. Beyonce- Vishaka Moon, Michelle- Punarvasu Moon and Kelly- Swati Rising

I'm including Swati placements as well because I think Swati also closely embodies this Jupiterean boundlessness or multiplicity

Beyonce, Vishaka Moon also has an alter ego named Sasha Fierce and like many Jupiter women who talk about wanting to be a man/embrace their masculinity/channel this in some way, she has a song called "If I Were A Boy"

Avril Lavigne, Swati Moon played multiple versions of herself in the MV for her song Girlfriend

Halsey, Punarvasu Moon and Swati stellium has such a wide ranging style, all their looks are completely unlike each other. I associate it with the chaos of Rahu more than Punarvasu but I do think the Jupiter influence also adds to it. They've also talked a lot about not identifying with gender/struggling with it and even has a song titled "I'm not a woman, I'm a god".

The Weeknd, Vishaka Moon, Punarvasu Rising

"The Weeknd" is the alter ego of Abel Tesfaye and he has talked about "killing his alter ego" many times

youtube

In this MV we see him battling his alter ego.

I think it's important to note that Jupiter natives are always battling their other half/shadow in all these examples. One is good and the other is bad. It points to the nature of Jupiter where all contradictions exist. Being that vast and expansive can mean being generous, compassionate etc but it can also mean feeling empty and vacuous. The extremes of anything is a meeting point for its opposite. Jupiter is abundance but its also the storehouse of karma. Do you notice how some people just have lives that are full of sooo many crazy experiences, both good and bad? Some people just don't have much going on and others always seem to be handled the short end of the stick. The bigger the planet, the bigger the shadow. The bigger the blessings, the bigger the burdens.

Suga's (Purvabhadrapada Sun) MV for Daechwita sees him play both king and peasant and both of them battle each other.

He also has multiple alter egos (SUGA & Agust D)

Here is a translation of some of the lyrics from the song:

"I got everything I wanted. What else can I have to be satisfied?

The things I wanted were clothes clothes, then money money, then goal goal, what’s after this?

What’s after this? Feeling a strong feeling of reality check, a situation where there’s nothing higher.

I had only looked up, now I just wanna look down and gently land."

Finding success meaningless is a VERY Jupiter experience. Abel sings about it a lot as well. Others work on accumulating things and its hard for them to imagine the kind of boundlessness of Jupiter, both in terms of latent potential but also in terms of the scale and expanse of what these natives achieve. If you had it all, would you find it empty and meaningless? I think a lot of Jupiter natives hold themselves back because of this, because they know the journey is more fun than the destination, that actually achieving your goals can be hella scary.

P!nk, Mars in Punarvasu atmakaraka battles herself in the MV for Don't Let Me Get Me

The lyrics go like:

"I'm a hazard to myself

Don't let me get me

I'm my own worst enemy

It's bad when you annoy yourself

So irritating

Don't wanna be my friend no more

I wanna be somebody else

I wanna be somebody else, yeah"

"So doctor, doctor, won't you please prescribe me something?

A day in the life of someone else"

The Jupiterean urge to be many people/somebody else is so revealing of their nature. They're always at odds with each other. Masculine & Feminine. Light & Shadow. Plus the boundlessness and abundance of Jupiter making you feel like you've transcended humanity and are akin to God (sooo many Jupitereans, esp men have a God complex its not even funny lol)

Its no wonder that so many Jupiter women often suffer from bipolar disorder. Bipolarity meaning swinging between extremes. This is literally the nature of Jupiter. Its a hard energy to balance.

(Mariah Carey & Halsey- Punarvasu Moon both have bipolar disorder, Kanye West- Purvabhadrapada Moon also has bipolar disorder Chyler Leigh- Vishaka Moon, Mel Gibson- Punarvasu Rising are all celebs who have admitted to suffering from bipolar disorder)

I am not a medical professional and neither am I going to assign mental disorders to different nakshatras BUT when I say imbalanced Jupiter energy manifests as bipolarity, I am pointing to the nature of Jupiter which makes its natives swing between extremes. Its a struggle to manage this and navigate this, no doubt.

Lisa Kudrow, Punarvasu Rising who played Phoebe and her evil twin Ursula

What's Your Rashee? is a 2009 Bollywood movie starring Priyanka Chopra, Punarvasu Sun who plays 12 different characters each representing a different rashi or zodiac sign

Kamal Hassan, Purvabhadrapada Moon played 10 different characters in the movie Dhashavataram (referencing the ten different avatars of Vishnu). He played the bad guy, the good guy and all the other guys.

This again points to not just the duality but also the multiplicity of Jupiter and literally being many different people.

Katy Perry, Vishaka Moon plays many different characters in her MV for Birthday

Vikram, Purvabhadrapada Moon plays 4+ different characters in the movie "I"

David Bowie, Jupiter in Vishaka atmakaraka, Shatabhisha Rising

Bowie had sooo many alter egos/personas, morphing from the flame-haired Aladdin Sane — a spin on “A Lad Insane” — to the clean-cut Thin White Duke with the greatest of ease. But his most famous alter ego was the androgynous alien rock star Ziggy Stardust who transported us to a glam galaxy far, far away in 1972 and 1973.

Lady Gaga, Swati Moon

"Lady Gaga" is in itself an alter ego as is being Mother Monster but she also has a male alter ego named Jo Calderone. She became Jo Calderone for her “You and I” video in 2011. The singer even went to the MTV VMAs that same year as Jo, walking the red carpet, opening the show, performing and sitting in the audience as the character.

The 1991 movie Dead Again stars Emma Thompson, Punarvasu Moon and Kenneth Branagh, Mars in Punarvasu 1h as two people who have double lives/past lives, the plot in itself is super Punarvasu coded with the same people playing multiple characters across multiple timelines (Punarvasu's deity is the personification of space and time)

Lily Tomlin, Punarvasu Rising plays 3 different characters in the movie The Incredible Shrinking Woman

Tatiana Maslany, Punarvasu Rising played many many different characters on the show Orphan Black.

The series focuses on Sarah Manning, one of several genetically identical human clones, and later on some of the other clones. The series raises issues about the moral and ethical implications of human cloning and its effect on identity. I had previously observed in an old post about how Punarvasu & Swati are connected to cloning and this is yet another example of the boundlessness of these energies.

Tom Cavanagh, Swati Sun, Venus in Vishaka atmakaraka played 15 different versions of his character in The Flash

Rachel Weisz, Purvabhadrapada Moon played both Evelyn and Princess Nefertiti in The Mummy Returns

Hugo Weaving, Punarvasu Moon, Purvabhadrapada Stellium (mercury, venus and ketu) played 6 different characters in Cloud Atlas

In Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, Alex Winter, Punarvasu Sun & Keanu Reeves, Punarvasu Moon play their evil versions.

The plot itself is very Punarvasu coded with Bill & Ted, two metalhead slacker friends who travel through time and beyond while trying to fulfil their destiny to establish a utopian society in the universe with their music.

Deepika Padukone, Swati Moon and Shahrukh Khan, Swati Sun played double roles as lovers who are reincarnated in a different time.

Jupiter is the guru or teacher. To be many things is what Jupiter teaches. It is kind of like being God and if one were to raise philosophical questions, you'd have to ask why did God create both good and evil? Why did he create joy and misery? There is no other answer except that one cannot exist without the other. Jupiter embodies this.

I hope this post shed some light on one manifestation of the boundlessness of Jupiter<33

the implication that the mvs for irresistible (the first one) and uma thurman both take place in the youngblood chronicles universe (due to the presence of patrick's prosthetic hand in both) is really fucking funny to me. like yeah, these guys got kidnapped and tortured by an anti-music cult, were forced to kill each other, got resurrected via the power of love, art, and god (who is elton john btw), and then killed a bird demon. they also absolutely suck at basketball, and once got a woman who won a contest to be their assistant for a day to do random shit with them around LA. the duality of man.

#''andie there is no implication it's just a silly callback-'' i don't CARE it's funny #the youngblood chronicles

i’m here to wax poetic about jimin bc im tired of only hearing about non-jimins and today’s discourse is enough to last me a whole year

i love this thing jimin does when he plays around with feminine sultriness. the video above reminded me of that so i wanted to talk more about it. i wish we could get that more often but i think he really likes switching back and forth and likes keeping people on their toes.

i think a great example of this is the dynamic between SMF pt2 and LC. while the lyrics of SMF pt2 are super queer coded (my personal favorite is “i wont hide anymore even if it hurts”), the delivery is actually more on the masculine side (e.g., baggy clothes (with cunty skin-tight tops underneath lol) and an intense hip-hop sound). on the other hand, the delivery of LC is super queer while the lyrics seem to specifically refer to a woman who is distracting him from his emotions and his chaotic life.

there’s obviously many theories about how LC may be queer coded. for me, the queer coding lies more in the performance and not the actual lyrics. when the mv came out and queer fans began to theorize how the woman that he appears to look for is a reflection of him there was immediate pushback only for the choreography to show exactly that. also, the fact that the korean male dancers were also meant to touch him in the beginning (as we can see on the dance rehearsal bangtan bomb). the fact that that specific detail was “toned down” in the korean performances but not the american one is really interesting to me. (i will die on the hill that the Fallon performance is unmatched, the dancers not only matched his dancing style perfectly but also perfectly captured the sultryness and intimacy of the song).

additionally, throughout the choreography it almost looks like the female and male dancers are in tug of war with him, pushing him in different directions. there’s two instances where he is literally tugged or pulled by a female dancer and then a male dancer. then the resolution is that the dancers are all paired up and he’s quite literally “alone again” and then we transition into Alone where we get answers to what the real underlying problem is which is his loneliness and what keeps him in that vicious coping cycle until he sets himself free from that.

there’s so much to unpack about FACE. i will always be so proud for what he was able to achieve on such a brief record. he really did THAT.

i think that doing that back and forth between masc and fem is really gratifying for him bc he clearly doesn’t like putting himself in a box. that duality is also sort of liberating bc it puts him in a sweet spot where he doesn’t come off as a queerbaiter but also gets to express himself authentically. personally, i think the photofolio, the self-drawn “tattoo” of the male and female symbols, and that time he painted a bi flag out of nowhere are signs that i find it really hard to believe he’s not throwing hints put here lol.

hints about what? his sexuality?

Okay but like Ace was abt breaking Taemin out of his "kid" image by showing a sexier side to Taemin, firmly declaring that the little kid from SHINee is now an Experienced Adult. The innocent boy with a bowlcut and puppy eyes secretly has an edge to him, a hint of danger and sharp sex appeal. It's designed to make anyone familiar with Taemin look twice, to catch their interest with the "little boy all grown up and gone bad" narrative. Yet, at the same time, he still acts like the same shy boy ppl are familiar with offstage. He covers his eyes at the mention of his own erotic appeal, and cutely messes up and is a bundle of nerves. So maybe, this bad boy isn't really bad - a reassurance he's still the innocent kid you know.

The PYN mv sees Taemin struggling with an evil version of himself - a cool gang leader who robs gas stations without breaking a sweat and crashes in a beautiful mansion with his friends - who has an edge of disillusionment and discontent about him. He feels like he has Hidden Depths. Yet, at the same time, there's still the innocent Taemin, a victim who attractively rolls around on the floor while tied up, and who is literally interchanged w a conventionally attractive young women. Who is beautiful and needs to be rescued. You get both for the price of one - sexy danger Taemin and beautiful helpless Taemin. It's unclear who wins - but whatever flavor of love interest you want, he's there.

Then Sayonara Hitori literally sees Taemin struggling with the dark part of himself. In the duet with Koharu he feels like an innocent, but in the MV he feels powerful and dangerous. Then in Flame of Love, he's an innocent victim again. A man who was in a car accident, who's looking for his lover and being teased by a mysterious woman. He's helpless and pure again.

In Move, Taemin has agency. You're looking at him because he WANTS you to look at him. He has complete control over you, you dance with him without thinking, an addictive look in an addictive dance for an addictive song. It embraces it's duality and plays with it - something for everyone. You, too, can act like this. Can feel like this. He's in control and he knows it. Power is addicting, everyone wants to feel that way. But it's also attractive. Confidence is a key point when it comes to finding someone attractive or not. Taemin has power in spades in Move.

In Day&Night, Taemin is passive again. He's meant to blend in more with his surroundings than to command them. Of course, he still commands them, but it's softer this time. Move, but less fierce. If you like coyness, then it's for you. The lyrics talk about love and hookups and reaffirm, again, that Taemin is Experienced. He knows what he's talking about. He's no longer the innocent little boy anymore.

In Under My Skin, Taemin is lost. He wanders around and sings his heart out because he just wants to be loved. He is innocent again, a little fragile. But he is still beautiful. Beautiful and hurting, so you want to help him. A glimpse of the man behind the Move facade, hurting. Innocent and compelling.

Want revels in it's corruption - it blatantly declares that it is going to corrupt you too. An invitation, come be corrupted by Taemin. He is completely confident in his appeal. He knows it is undeniable and powerful. This Taemin is for people who want to surrender control, who want to be taken over. You literally cannot resist him, but at the same time he refuses to completely satisfy you. He wants to leave you hanging and coming back for more. There is nothing innocent about this Taemin -- he uses his innocence to lure you in. He promises that you can be in control, if that's what will make you come to him. He has been throughly corrupted and now he's corrupting others. There is no trace of the little bowlcut boy he was before. But. At the same time. Offstage, he's still the same shy, nervous, cute young man he's always been. There's still something for those who love innocent Taemin - a reassurance that he really is still the same! It's all an act, because he can be both dirty and sweet.

Famous is a Taemin who knows he's been corrupted and is disillusioned by it. This Taemin is dangerous, he plays with guns and crashes cars and could snap at any moment. He is angry and he is sexy, because he feels on the edge of abandoning everything. It feels like he has given up control. He knows the game, he knows he's being played, but he doesn't care. A beautiful, sexy boy that you want to fix. A bad boy that can still be saved. Under My Skin and Famous feel like two versions of the same fantasy - one where you can rescue him.

In 2 Kids, Taemin is innocent again. It feels like he's shed all that corrupting darkness and is lighter. He wanders around, reminiscing. He doesn't regret his dark period, so it's still safe to want it. You love him because you feel like you've been on this journey of corruption vs innocence with him. There's an emotional connection. He's safe, an innocent, so you love him. He's the soft boy he was in the beginning, that he's really secretly always been. But he has depth now, a lingering sadness and maturity that wasn't there before.

And, finally, in Criminal he circles back around to PYN. There's both the innocent Taemin and the corrupting Taemin. He's wild and out of control and sexy because of it. He sends a shiver down your spine, and it feels like he's completely lost. He's dark and disillusioned and confident. He takes off his binds with his teeth, he looks you right in the eye. He has to be held back by the people around him. He promises danger and excitement. And yet, he is still writhing beautifully on the floor, helpless and in need of saving. And just like in PYN, he's both at the same time, whatever flavor of love interest you want. Completely corrupted, but still redeemable.

Innocent, but corrupted. Corrupted, but innocent. Beautiful and sexy. Cute and helpless. Everything, all at once. And you got to see all of it.

#taemin #lee taemin #me alan turing bc i have literally cracked the code #shinee #I AM SEEING THE VISION FOR REAL I AM AT FULL GALAXY BRAIN RN #p: taemin #save

Celebrating Twice More And More comeback along with Blackpink's Sour Candy comeback here's a detour at my favourite concepts done by K-POP groups. It's just intended to make you a little bit nostalgic because no one wants to live in 2020 as of now.

Dreamcatcher.

The unconventional Nightmares of K-pop. They are the first ones to embrace this horror concept which is something new and out of the box. While horror remains a largely untouched concept,they add a Victorian era style to it which is so elegantly executed and so beautiful to watch. A really creative and bold take in an industry which largely runs on convention. Their debut single is Chase Me,each member represents a different nightmare from Chase Me to Scream eras. My favourite track has to be Deja Vu. Below is the MV for Chase Me (Debut single) :-

youtube

2. GOT7

Cute concept by a boy group can come of as cheesy and forced but almost every ahgase(their fans) are fond of this comeback and the lyrics are also really sweet and can help anyone having a bad day cheer up. Below are the lyrics of Just Right by Got7.

Mirror, mirror please tell her

Scale, please tell her too

That she doesn’t need to change anything

That she’s pretty and perfect just as she is right now

Just be happy, don’t worry

Don’t look for your flaws

Instead of the mirror, just look into my eyes

Instead of the scale, just get on my back

youtube

3. BTS

Blood,Sweat and Tears was what made me an army. It makes references to biblical events and Greek mythology and being the huge nerd I am I loved it. It was like a crossover between Dan Brown and Greek mythos. The MV is so beautiful and the song itself has lyrics which basically depict the loss of innocence by depicting the seven sins. Some of the most interesting fan theories have come from this MV.

youtube

4. EXO

I miss Exo.

Okay, Exo has been very experimental with their music and I love their concepts but my favourite has to be The War. (Yes I know Monster was their best but I'm talking about originality here). It starts from Ko ko Bop which I basically interpret as living in the moment but Ko Ko Bop is a made up phrase which basically means dancing to the beat on the last night before a war.

Another song is Power, which brings back their Superpower concept (OT12 Memories 😭). But the song which I loved the most has to be The Eve, it reminds me of a dystopian fiction novel and I absolutely love it. Also the performances are very sexy lol.

youtube

5. Mamamoo

These ladies never fail to amaze me and it may seem like girl crush at first but they have moved beyond that and many of their fans jokingly call them a "Woman group". Girl crush concepts are not always empowering but whenever Mamamoo makes a girl crush song it is. Two such songs are HIP and Yes I am . The lyrics are blatantly straightforward for both songs and while Hip makes a statement on the double standards faced by women by enhancing their own struggles as female idols.

Hip” celebrates the power of femininity while also pointing out how the media places an uncomfortably close lens on female celebrities, painting them in an unflattering light if they step out of the rules society sets for them.

-As quoted from The Rolling Stone, India

6. Red Velvet

Another unconventional concept, their signature style is creepy. Well the name Red velvet represents their duality- Red being their softer cuter style and Velvet being a polished, sophisticated side. Their Velvet song MVs are creepier by a long shot but red side is creepy too.

The lyrics don't usually imply anything creepy unlike Dreamcatcher where the lyrics are telling a story and it's more playful and this is what sets RV apart. How creepy can they get? I present the much beloved Peek-a-Boo . But they can and will get creepier. I love their psychopath concepts.

youtube

So that's all I can think of right now and I will keep exploring more. These are very mainstream and I hoped these are some concepts everyone likes to revisit. This blog was mainly written because twice and BP both seem to have undergone major concept changes.

ANYWAYS BEST OF LUCK TO THE LADIES FOR THEIR JUNE COMEBACK.

Seulrene,BP and Twice 🖤

Also stream Fantasia by MonstaX.

Thank.

#got7 #bts #exo #mamamoo #twice #jyp fam #sm family #dreamcatcher #kpop bands #blackpink #just something I wanted to do #third generation group #i wanna make a part two #this was inspired by little mermaid Sana #and I'm nostalgic

mimi was the 7th and final member to be announced through the predebut project and the last solo mv which was released on the 10th of june 2017.

mimi’s mother is korean and her father is japanese. they broke up before her mother realised she was pregnant and her father was already dating her step-mother when she was born. she was mainly raised by her father and stepmother who she is as close to as she is to her biological mother and loves them both dearly.her half family is like her biological family and everyone forgets that she has a different mother because of how close they all are.

her biological mother moved to australia and married a woman named tiffany andrews so she has 3 mothers in total ! they do not have any other children besides mimi.

when it was confirmed that mimi would make her debut her entire family -and their dog koko - moved to korea to support her. they now all stay in seoul !

she has always been called mimi since she was little it’s actually rare for people to call her misaki even her family.

she's too nice and lovely for her own good and it leads to her getting taken advantage of and being taken for granted so the other members protect her a lot.

mimi was considered a dance prodigy as a child and started representing japan in various styles at the early age of 7 ! she even performed onstage with snsd.

she will capture your heart when you least expect it, no one is safe for her charms you will fall in love with her.

mimi is called the duality queen because despite her cute looks and shy demeanor she can be very sexy and powerful on stage.

because of her years of competitive dancing she is the most powerful dancer and has the most captivating stage presence. every move she makes has so much passion that you can feel her star power as she dances. she really is just insanely talented .

she really loves disney especially mickey mouse and mulan. one of her nicknames from the members is literally mickey.

her cousin is ni-ki of enhypen and the two are very close. they used to dance together at his moms studio and now that he’s debuted and in seoul they see each other whenever they can. he often stays with her family when on vacation.

WHAT THE WINGS ALBUM WAS ALL ABOUT: The Final Answer?

BTS THEORY POST #3 - Master List HERE

Now it’s 2019 and it’s all about Boy with Luv, and yet some people might STILL be confused about WINGS -probably gave it up as a bad job a long time ago like me lol. Right? Well, LOOK NO FURTHER. I’ve got you on this one- if you care to take the dive in to my brain (and extensive research) I’ve done my BEST to make it as easy to read as possible :’)

LONG POST AHEAD c: - unless you’re just scrolling past (You nice. Keep going!)

So I KNOW, this particular era’s music videos had the entire fandom going ballistic, losing their last few brain cells trying to figure out what the actual HELL was going on. (The Japanese version of BS&T released 7 months later just made me want to throw my computer through the wall istg. I don’t joke.)

It’s ALL because they chose to base it on a deeply philosophical novel that seems to be very popular in the Korean school curriculum, though written by a German a hundred years ago. (1919 to be precise)

YES. (The book being Demian by Hermann Hesse) And yes, if he hadn’t, the fandom would still have half the brain cells they lost trying to put theories together. Not ranting, the concept was incredible.

BUT, I think I’ve (dare I say it?) finally understood what they were actually trying to say. I mean, really trying to convey through this whole concept IN. REAL. LIFE. (Stay with me on this: WINGS, while being the most incomprehensible album was also, in case you forgot, the most personal album they’ve ever released. The 7 SOLOS! Co-written by the members themselves??) Made me think that there’s more to it than meets the eye- more than just an outrageously daring concept- and I surprised myself by blowing my own mind with the answer.

THE CATCH is that in order to understand my interpretation of and the answer to WINGS, you need to understand the story of Emil Sinclair in Demian. (Yeah sorry, I actually read the whole book) And THAT’S why this theory is divided into 2 parts:

Pt. 1 is a nice, long explanation of Demian for you

Pt. 2 will be the actual analysis, interpretation and MY THEORY

Happy reading :’)

Pt. 1 - A DETAILED EXPLANATION of Demian and everything in WINGS that is based on the book

Okay. So WHY am I focusing a lot on the book, Demian, you ask?BECAUSE:

It’s DIRECTLY quoted in ALL the music videos of the album.

Some MVs have whole scenes (Begin, BS&T) or symbols that are directly from the book.

It is a text that RM found inspirational; Which means he’s read it and understood it completely. (And RM co-wrote all the member’s solos. More on this laters.)

Basically, this entire album’s concept came out of this book.

BigHit. Knows. US. They chose this book on purpose. We were meant to read into this like our lives depended on it.

DISCLAIMER: I have taken the most accurate explanation I found in my research for this post, summarized it and added my own thoughts to it. But if you want to be xxxtra you can refer to it here because it links WINGS to to the previous eras.

OKAY. LET’S GET IT.

First of all, understand that:

● The book 'Demian' is also known as 'The story of Emil Sinclair's youth'.

● The book is written from Sinclair's point of view

THE MAJOR CHARACTERS:

Emil Sinclair is the protagonist of the novel. Sinclair is confused as to what his life is, and is going to be, and constantly seeks mentorship throughout the novel.

Max Demian is a childhood friend, who is 2 years older and a mentor of Sinclair. Demian leads Sinclair to his eventual self-realization.

Frau Eva is Max Demian's mother. She steadily becomes Sinclair's ideal characterisation in life, first in his pictures and visions, then in person.

Pistorius is a rector, an organist at a local church, and a temporary mentor for Sinclair. Pistorius teaches Sinclair how to look inside himself for spiritual guidance.

Abraxas, is a mixture of God and the devil | Kromer, the boy who initially pulls Sinclair into sin before Sinclair meets Demian, after which he isn’t important.

THE MAJOR CHARACTERS IN CONNECTION WITH BTS (this part just might leave you jungshooketh)

(Don’t worry if any of the following confuses you, it’ll all become clear later as I explain in detail!)

SO THE CHARACTERS OF DEMIAN AS THE MEMBERS OF BTS :

Straightforwardly:

EACH member, except Namjoon, represents Sinclair in 6 different stages of his life. Jungkook, Jimin, Taehyung, Yoongi, Hoseok and Seokjin - They are each Sinclair in their own respective stories.

Namjoon represents Pistorius; he is the only member who doesn’t represent Sinclair at any point.

Now for the Duality:

Remember the official BU member pairings? It’s YoonKook, JiHope, and VMon, and Jin, alone.

So the hyung line: Yoongi, Hoseok and Namjoon are ALSO the Demians in the lives of their paired Sinclair- the maknae line, respectively: Jungkook, Jimin and Taehyung.

The maknae line never represent Demian at any point; they’re each only ever Sinclair.

Jin always stood alone, hence has both Sinclair and Demian in him.

Hoseok also represents Eva at one point in his story.

OKAY? So consider one last thing:

To explain the ideas in the book we can say that Sinclair’s friend Demian is in fact a part of Sinclair’s own subconscious, which he brings to life in order to deal with his changing world. (Think Calvin and Hobbes: where Hobbes is really Calvin’s own, usually opposing, subconscious.)

IF we consider Demian a part of Sinclair, that means other characters could also be a manifestation of Sinclair’s mind, right?

Well, in fact Eva, Demian’s mother is also a part of Sinclair’s mind.

This makes the book simpler and easier to understand.

[NOTE: I'm repeating that Demian and Eva aren't actually real people ONLY FOR EXPLANATION PURPOSES. It does make sense but is purely on the surface. The Pt.2 - Analysis will consider the deeper theory.]

FINALLY, it’s now explanation tiiiime

1) Jungkook and Begin: THE FIRST STAGE OF SINCLAIR’S YOUTH. (The first taints in his purity)

JK = the earliest childhood of Sinclair/ The Sinclair at the start of his story

EXPLANATION:

1)THE BOOK

Sinclair, the child, is innocent and strongly believes in Jehova- the Jewish god.

He looks up to his sisters and respects his parents a lot. According to him, the heaven is where his parents are.

He encounters Kromer, a bad influence, and in order to impress him lies that he stole apples from the village farmer.

Kromer holds this against him and blackmails him in exchange for keeping this a secret. Sinclair carries this as a huge burden on his own.

With that small lie, which eventually leads to others, he made his first step into the dark world of sin, but still lived in the world of his parents, one of light and purity.

For the first time has a sense that there is more to the world than what he learns in school and from his parents.

2) THE SHORT FILM

Unlike the others, JK is seen to be pure and doesn't do anything destructive.

This JK / Sinclair has begun his life as a mentally precocious fifteen-year-old boy.

He wakes up from a nightmare, but reality seems to be worse.

Like Sinclair, he realises that his reality has changed, that there is more going on in his world. This is also a reason why he cries. (The other explained in Pt. 2)

3) THE LYRICS of Begin in the film,

Basically state “The 15 year old me who didn’t have anything"

Which equals to JungKook, the Kpop Idol at the inception of his career, parallel to Sinclair, the child, at the inception of losing his innocence.

Career = the losing of innocence (The beginning of the end of his pure childhood/ the start of his journey to find himself)

4) THE QUOTES:

THE DEMIAN BOOK QUOTE at the beginning of the short film - 'The realms of day and night. Two different worlds coming from two opposite poles mingled during this time'

MEANS: Pure Sinclair (JK) believes that there are 2 different realms, day and night/ dark and light/ GOOD and EVIL. - which NOW ‘begin’ to merge during this period of early childhood.

THE HANGUL QUOTE

About 50 seconds in reads, “The dawn right before the sun rises is the darkest.” (Lyric from an older song ‘Tomorrow’ thanks @btsvsmysanity) -->

Stepping into this dawn = Begin.

Because Begin is when he first enters the dark realm. The dawn represents his journey through the dark realm- the sunrise, his final coming-of-age.

5) SYMBOLS:

THE WHISTLE, at the start of the short film

Kromer often whistled to summon Sinclair and threaten him.

Sinclair is afraid of Kromer who represents the dark realm and so, he even feared the whistle and panicked whenever he heard it.

Sometimes he would be so caught up in his fears that he heard the whistle even in his dreams and woke up terrified.

6) LINKING JK to Yoongi:

THE PAINTING of the face -

This is a scene much later in the book. Sinclair keeps denying his attraction to Demian and tries to find things he can project it onto, so one day he buys a picture of a beautiful woman.

She reminds him of someone but he doesn't know of whom yet and he calls her "Beatrice".

He then treats her as a lover and a goddess until he one day realizes that the painting is not perfect so he starts to redraw it and does this over and over again until it looks completely like Demian/Yoongi and has even more meaning to him. (Source: allkpop forum, user ‘DISABLED#4′)

Later he pins the painting to a window and when the sun rays pass through it, the painting has the features of JK /Sinclair himself!

(Further ahead in the book he discovers that the painting is of Eva. Now consider the subconscious concept I explained before? : it makes things simpler if Sinclair IS Demian and is ALSO Eva. However, this is NOT evident in WINGS so it is irrelevant)

THE LETTER -

JK Sinclair has sent the painting to Demian and who sent a reply.

That’s why the letter he holds first is a picture of Yoongi/ Demian which he drops, and then it changes to a picture of a sparrow hawk bird when he picks it up- Signifying the sending and receiving of the letter by Sinclair.

In Demian’s letter was written (as in the book): "The bird fights the egg, the egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to god. This god's name is Abraxas". (Quote from Jin’s Awake, Analysed in Pt. 2)

That's why JK has the shadow of a bird at the end of the short film. He has destroyed his pure world and found himself instead.

7) THE UNRESOLVED THINGS in the film:

Because these are unrelated to Demian and belong PURELY to the Bangtan Universe Story I will not explain it here:

Maybe in a seperate post: just know that it’s all in the BU story told in Save Me, the Webtoon

The sudden rain, The painting and piano catching fire, The blood spatter, The water splatter, The water sloshing down the painting, The sound of a car crash, Glass shattering, Birds flying etc.

8) LASTLY:

The painting catches fire and the glass shatters. Shattering of glass can be considered a transition from his childhood to his adolescence. More like, Jungkook/ Sinclair breaks out of his childhood because he has sinned- and steps in to Lie.

Because Part 1 IS NOW LONGER THAN I ANTICIPATED I will spread it across a couple of numbered posts.

CONTINUE TO PT 1.2 - Jimin’s LIE

I stopped here for this post because the introduction was very long as it is. Feedback is very welcome! If you’ve read until the end, that is (thank you!) :’) (Sorry, if you’ve already read and understood Demian and don’t really need this explanation (You rock) but you’ll have to be patient for Pt. 2!)

A THEORY: Linear Timeline of reputation

This is going to be a very long read; but it may just include unlocking the 15 Taylor's from the LWYMMD MV so read on if you dare…

(OK it totally includes the theory, please read and tell me what you think!)

An Introduction:

I've been a casual fan of Taylor Swift since she started. Loved all her radio singles, listened to her albums (at my leisure upon release), and admired her platform and brand image. I guess I became a huge fan after 1989, but around the release of reputation, I realized just how much this woman's music has been there throughout my life and decided to fully stan her. As I fell down the rabbit hole of learning everything I could about TS as an artist, I became completely enamored with her wits & charms. However, the more I learned to love about her, the more I could feel just a slight inauthenticity; I was constantly thinking of the hypocrisy of how she "never names who her songs about" yet she created this scavenger hunt with her liner notes that seemed to point in an obvious direction of one of her "ex-boyfriends." It didn't align with how she presented herself in every other aspect. Then, I felldowntherabbithole for real and found all of the incredibly documented and organized realm of the Kaylor's, and everything was literally in screaming color.

reputation made even more sense with fresh Kaylor eyes and once I read this Taylor Swift quote:

reputation, in my mind, is an album that is very linear in it’s timeline. Meaning that it kind of starts out where I was when I first started making the record. The album ends more where I am now in my life. So this is more towards the end of the album, it’s called ‘Call It What You Want.’

my mind became OBSESSED with cracking this code. I had combed through all the kaylor blogs and while I had read everything I could, I still couldn't place it within any timeline. Then, Delicate came out and the code started to crack; I could peek inside and make sense of something, but was still unsure what it was. I put together a loose concept which had some plot holes, but it was when I remembered to revisit the 15 Taylor theory that everything completely revealed itself.

I would like to start with a disclaimer: I have never, ever actively participated more than lurking or even posted anything on Tumblr. I would like to fully acknowledge that there is a huge, fat chance none of this makes sense to anyone but me, but my husband was really getting fed up with me talking about it and I just needed to share. THANK YOUS to the Kaylor blogs I frequented with incredible analysis and POV of Tay in the media and her music- @all-my-possessions @howyougetthenerd @jennyboom21 @karlitakloss @kaydar @kaylorrepdetective @larrienation @out-of-the-klosset @paradisekisses @tallcurlygirl @taytaysbeard @that-curly-haired-lesbian @thoseflashinggreeneyes @whaler13bg to name a few. (Sorry, tumblr is not letting me tag a few of you.)

A lot of the information I am providing is not new and connects the dots from the amazing posts from this community. I tried as best as I could to cite all relevant posts - you can definitely let me know if I've made any errors. Please feel free to edit//contribute//comment because I have a feeling that a more seasoned eye would be able to expound on so many more clues and easter eggs!

Let the Games Begin!

Overall Concept/Themes

There are truly some insightful analysis of the overarching themes and concepts of the album already. Secrecy, partners in crime, forbidden love… In general there's a complex theme of Duality to the album; conflicting feelings, Brand vs Self, bad vs good, truth vs reputation etc. I think it's most important to note is that any analysis that views these tracks differently than listed below, can still be correct. Our Queen is a lyrical master plus there's that added layer of intentional dualities in her story telling; there's always at least 3 different meanings to her songs and that's one of the reasons we admire her wordsmith ways.

The Timeline!!!

…Ready For It? - So It Goes… 2012* - 2014

This has long been inferred in every side of the fandom to indicate this is Part 1 of the Story, implied by the ellipses as the beginning and end of the track names. All the timelines I've previously read started at either the introduction of 1989 or even later beginning with 2016/2017 events, but it didn't make sense applied to the album as a whole. Once Delicate MV came out, I began to notice that all of the nods to RED in all these MV's were not just for nostalgia. She is literally telling us that this part of the story was about the end of RED era leading into 1989 - not quite 1989 era just yet. ;)

*2012 is an estimate based on the beginning of the Delicate video; it's possible that TS & KK met before Swiftgron was officially over but who will ever know? Karlie's buzz cut was December 2011 (x). The first half of the album is difficult to theorize specific dates within this period because we really have no idea when KK & TS met.

LWYMMD - New Year's Day 2014 - 2017 (NYD)

I gotta tell you - immediately after reading this, go watch LWYMMD. It was (is?) literally hiding there in plain sight; it's a GENIUS video walking you through EXACTLY what she did (you could say from a satirical standpoint more how the media/GP thought she did) to prepare for this era! When she refers to the "Old Taylor," she's using the term in the exact way her fans have been using: to refer to Country Taylor. She is officially Pop; Look What We Made Her Do when RED, a pop-country album, "a patchwork of songs," didn't win the Grammy. She went full POP princess. This post in particular helped me remember that these songs are not fresh in regards to her life even though they are brand new to us. Part 2 of the story more clearly follows the events of the 1989 era through just before rep's release.

Track by Track // 15 Taylors

…Ready For It? Intro

I believe this is an introduction of what's to come, an overview of the story. Yes, she's definitely asking herself if she's ready to come out of the closet (x/x), if Karlie is ready to glass closet (x), is her beard ready for the consequences(x), and most specifically, are we, her fans, the GP, are we ready for her to come out and live her truth unapologetically? It's her laying the groundwork to prepare for 1989; her literally coming up with the concept for the whole era which is why we see the references to her 1989 MV's in the glass room. This post cites the connection to the Dykes on Bikes; are we ready to accept Taylor to not only come out, but be a strong voice and activist of the LGBTQ+ community?

End Game April 2013 - June 2014

I KNOW Taylor is singing to KK about them first meeting - and I KNOW we think they just met before VSFS 2013 (even though there are rumors that say they met sooner…) But, hear me out because this lines up way too easily with the information we get from the MV (x/x). Remind yourself… Who opened for Taylor's RED tour? That’s right, our favorite ginger. It's a nice additional nod with the callback of Everything Has Changed duet with Ed Sheeran. Miami (shoutout to my hometown even though I have no inkling to its significance) tour dates were 04/10/13, London was 02/01/14 (Did she really show us their first NYE together?!), and Tokyo was 06/01/14.

Irrelevant now but important for later (LWYMMD): And I bury hatchets, but I keep maps of where I put ‘em. This post highlights a cool interpretation of the line that applies to this whole post!

I’ve been doing some digging to try and somehow link Miami in this mix, and this is pure speculation but I feel like Future represents her bearding with Harry Styles. Karlie’s “buzz cut” was in December 2012, and shortly thereafter she was in Miami for a photo shoot. 1/4/12 marks the official break up of Haylor in the US Virgin Islands… it’s a stretch and I’m totally grasping at straws but they are geographically close and it’s all I got for now.

"Me, I was a robber first time that (s)he saw me…"

I Did Something Bad early 2013

So, I have to admit… IDSB and DBM were the two songs I was having the most trouble placing within the linear timeline; my initial thought was this must have been a metaphor for her confessing her "sins" a.k.a. bearding, to Karlie when they first started dating. This was the song that clicked once I looked through the lenses of the 15 Taylors and reaffirmed my thoughts with the visuals of this Taylor on the cross in LWYMMD. In digging a little deeper, I found a Vanity Fair article - one of the only cover stories found online about TS during 2013. I'm not as confident about my perspective on the linear timeline with this track, however I feel like it's a good start especially considering the next holy church track.

In regards to the "light me up" lyric, and clear visual reference in the …RFI MV as well as the crucifixion of Taylor in LWYMMD, I thought this answer she gave the 73 Questions With Taylor Swift | Vogue video was also interesting to note. The question was what is the one thing she wishes she would have known at age 19 (8:03)?

"Hey, you're going to date just like a normal 20-something should be allowed to, but you're going to be a national lightning rod for slut-shaming."

I'll leave this quote from the April 2013 Vanity Fair interview right here:

"But nobody calls them the kinds of names that get thrown at Swift. “They’re ‘playboys,’ ” Swift says wryly. “They’re ‘having fun.’ ”

By the way, in the Vanity Fair article there's an "authorized source" giving insight to what "really happened" to Haylor aka probably lies.

Every lie I tell them, they tell me three

Don't Blame Me early - mid 2014

I can really only hypothesize through the lyrics and the Taylor line up that this may be a reference to how the RED "media" circus (as quoted from the VF article cited above) literally made her do crazy things - maybe how her past experiences had caused her to react a certain way in an undefined relationship, maybe how the media circus in general had her guarding her heart, and of course the religious context of the song leads me to believe of course it is connected in that aspect to the confessing of her actions in the previous track. Big Sur trip also falls within this timeline. (x/x/x)

I once was poison ivy, but now I'm your daisy…

Delicate 2013 - 2014

I think this one has so many beautiful analysis with the music video that syncs perfectly with this time line with no need for additional explanation, and I think it's especially apparent why this Taylor represents TraKK 5 in the line up. (x/x)

It's interesting that Fearless Taylor and Red Taylor were the ones actually fighting on Taylor Mountain in the LWYMMD MV; this may be a reference to her insecurities and headspace during the RED media circus//break up anxieties fighting contrasting to her want to just dance in her best dress Fearless with KK with no inhibitions.

Dancing in my best dress, fearless

LWYMMD End of 2014

Has anyone noticed the crows in the beginning? It literally hit me as I was finishing this post - a group of crows is called a murder.

We see her Driving a new Maserati (well, car with significant meaning) down a dead end street and then crashes into the pole. (x) She literally killed the "Old Taylor" to get the Grammy - as well as set up clever disguises as red herrings* so that we missed the most obvious clue that this is about the release of 1989. I think even cleverer, how she walks away from the crash unscathed at the end of the MV to imply she rose up from the dead, she does it all the time (with each era release). (x/x/x/x)

*Red herring: something, especially a clue, that is or is intended to be misleading or distracting. In reference to the post regarding hatchets in End Game, she's definitely sending us on the hunt… remember that post above I asked you to note?

Then of course another hint to the timeline is in the lyrics and MV (look at the date of the tweet...)

I've got a list of names and yours is in red underlined

So It Goes… October/November 2014

This was definitely the most challenging to figure out, but there's definitely two clear ideas that are represented here - the linear timeline alludes to the HOT KINKY SEX our girls probably had after VSFS '14 (x/x/x) and the death of her 'innocence.' Coincidentally, I had read Slaughterhouse Five for the first time earlier last year and lurking around the Reddit TS community where they spent so much time trying to figure out how they could circle this back to Vonnegut. Unluckily for them, it is the most heteronormative//homophobic community where even Kaylor posts are censored/deleted/ridiculed etc so they weren't ever going to get it. This song represents a toxic relationship with CH in their eyes, and I can see that perspective… another Salute to the American Queen of Wordplay.

Anyway, here is a quote from a NY Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/18/books/review/and-so-it-goes.html)

That is, the constant repetition of “So it goes” makes readers ask themselves about the meaning of death (or its lack of meaning) and the incalculable human costs of war.

The 2009 VMA's Taylor is the epitome of everything her art, brand and music spoke to prior to 1989; and with the Pop princess she was no longer the relatable girl next door. She had gone full big-city, celebrity friends, glitz and glam - feeling so Gatsby for that whole year. With 1989, represented by the LWYMMD music video, that image was shattered, it was the death of her reputation but the true beginning of laying the groundwork for her and KK's future and she truly felt alive.

Not to mention a song about kinky sex is a huge step away from that image.

So it goes...

And so it goes, now Part 1 of our story is done.

Gorgeous Met Ball 2015

Part 2 moves into the 1989 era starting with the Met Gala. (x/x) I read a great analysis using the lyrics to prove why this song is not about someone you just met because of the intense conflicting feelings. (I have scoured Tumblr to find it and link it but can't rediscover it… sorry I explained I've been a noob and a lurker and I never liked or reblogged anything, I'll update with a link if I ever find it again!) That made me reevaluate my original thoughts of this track being Enchanted 2.0 and representing her meeting Karlie for the first time. This was the first public event Kaylor attended together; it must have been strong conflicting feelings of joy & giddiness of the relationship quickly overtaken by nerves, fear, and anger that she would be found out and/or couldn’t show any outward PDA towards KK at the event. I would imagine there was a lot of drinking that night to cope, thus the “drunk” perspective.

PS she probably didn’t go home alone that night (DING)😉

'Cause you're so gorgeous it actually hurts

Getaway Car May - August 2016

There are great analysis looking at this song from two main POV's- 1. the bearding CH-TH circus(x/x) and 2. a reflection of Swiftgron in hindsight (x). For the sake of the timeline/15 taylor line up, it was too coincidental that this was the Taylor snapping at the beards in I <3 TS shirts and from that perspective, fits perfectly into the linear timeline. It is suspect that TS went against her management in anger of how the "break up" with CH unfolded, and so it would make sense to be a little apologetic towards TH -- the one beard aftermath she may have regretted but that is just pure speculation.

And a circus ain't a love story, and now we're both sorry

*I JUST NOTICED! She POPS HER LEG for the 7th boyfriend in line - AKA CH. She is SO EXTRA!

King of My Heart August 2016

The below quote and Taylor line up don't need further explanation.

"I think it’s very interesting when people talk about their love stories. Like when you guys blog about, “my and my husband, me and my boyfriend” or just anyone talking about how they fell in love.

There seem to be these very definitive phases. It doesn’t matter how long that phase lasts. There seems to be a moment where you know it transitioned to the next phase. People will be like, “Oh my God, we were friends for six years and there was this moment and we knew and then it changed. Then there was a moment and it got even deeper. Then there was a moment and we knew” or like “I saw this person and there was this moment and we knew.” Everyone has a different story with how they connect with someone else and what i find interesting is the moment where it switches. You always hope that switch is going to move forward and not backwards because it can happen either way. I always wanted to structure the song where each individual section of the song sounded like a move forward in the relationship but still being listenable. So I wanted the verse to seem like it’s own phase of a relationship, the pre-chorus to sound like it’s own phase of a relationship, and the chorus to sound like it’s own phase of a relationship. I wanted them to all have their own identity but seem like they were getting deeper and more fast paced as the song went on. So finally I was able to achieve that in a song.”

Here’s a couple of my favorite analysis regarding this song. (x/x)

Up on the roof with a school girl crush

Dancing With Our Hands Tied Mid - End 2016

This analysis really explains the lyrics and matches the allusion of the Zombie Taylor to make it seem like it is a hindsight song about Swiftgron; however Out of the Woods is the last MV of 1989 era released the end of 2015 (aside from New Romantics your video) and this can perhaps be expressing the death of Taylor’s 1989 reputation after the slew of public feuds. It can also be interpreted as a hindsight song in regards to Kissgate in 12/2014(x/x); how she had found herself coming into 1989, but was a zombie version of that because she had to beard with CH and TH and it perhaps made her feel dead inside. Maybe she’s implying that she would have just taken the fall from grace then put herself through another (particularly long and grueling) fake relationship.

I had a bad feeling

Dress October 2016

Not only is Dress pretty frequently analysed, it's also the most obvious and blatant within the theory. I thought it was very cute that this was represented by the Ballerina in the line up as a not so subtle nod to Karlie. October 2016 was the infamous Golden Tattoos at Drake's birthday party. (x/x/x)

Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo.

Sorry I couldn’t help myself with this gif :P

TIWWCHNT November 2016

Originally, I thought this was the easiest one- yes, the Snake Queen is sipping and serving tea on her infamous feuds however it just didn't fit in the more transparent timeline of the second half. There's been a few posts that hint the track may be a slight diss to her fans. Once it hit me she was alluding to herself as our (the fans) American *dream* Queen, I realized: this song is not a slight diss - it is harshly directed to us, all of us. Hear me out: Just like KOMH is about a love that reflects back on different periods in life, this track also calls to a couple different conflicts with the relationship of TS and her fans. She's never enough for either aspect of the fandom.

I thought it was curious that she would have the "ET TU BRUTE" (x) as a reference to Kanye because let's be honest, she probably never trusted him after 2009 and rightfully so. "Et tu, Brute?" is a Shakespeare reference and a phrase that is now used to describe a friend stabbing you in the back. This would be more applicable to us, her fans. V1:

It was so nice throwing big parties

Jumping to the pool from the balcony

Everyone swimming in a champagne sea

And there are no rules when you show up here

Bass beat rattling the chandelier

Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year

This easily refers to 12/2014 - Kissgate. Feeling so gatsby for that whole year; throwing big parties. She had to close the gate before she was outed prematurely by the fans watching her during the concert. We were the last ones she ever expected having to protect herself from; she had been so open, glass-closeting, but the fans took it too far and crossed the line of her privacy. She was surprised by the network that had expanded to track her every move. A couple years pass, V2:

It was so nice being friends again

There I was giving you a second chance

Think back to the election of 2016; Taylor being back in the media and more open again with her life wasn't enough at this point. America had reached a boiling point and everyone had to pick a side; even Taylor's most dedicated fans were constantly expressing their disappointment at her so she changed her priorities and went into hiding.

As @paradisekisses once posted, “Not everything is about Kanye.”

Salute to you, our American Queen of Red Herrings

Because you break them, I had to take them away.

Call It What You Want End of 2016

The lyrics all harken to 1989 (x) and this is when her reputation has never been worse (again), but she’s stronger this time and it didn’t break her as much as post RED era. Not to mention, she’s madly in love and found her end game so nothing else really matters to her; her priorities have been shifted and she knows what truly matters in her life.

Call her what you want, she is Karlie's Partner in Crime. it's an obvious call to the gold cage, hostage to my feelings; she will jail herself once more with this ((hopefully)) last beard and that will be the official death of (2.0? 6.0?) Old Taylor. The best part is the BTS video showing how much fun she was actually having in the gold cage. There are beautiful analysis of this song (x/x/x/x/x) , and to me it's just the most real/pure love song. Love isn't just about all the good times, it's how your partner and you navigate the bad. Sometimes the worst moments in life show us just how strong our relationships are and bring us closer together.

Karlie what you want, call her what you want to (I can't unhear this in the background now <3)

New Year's Day January 1, 2017

This Taylor is hidden from us because she will probably never be as open with the GP, media, or her fans ever again. Who knows what to come in the future, but she actively tells us "don't read the last page" and to "hold onto the memories." Ugh, this is making me tear up -- I just officially joined the fandom!! Don’t tell me this is it already... (x/x/x)

This post highlighted the importance of the sunshine necklace with Taylor's obvious sarcasm in the BTS in saying “It’s really important to wear subtle jewelry in music videos, I’ve learned.” (If anyone can forward the gif I’d love to add it to the post :))

Sidenote: technically, isn't this another closet she's in during the rep era?

Wear you like a necklace…

And I will hold on to you...

I had so much fun putting this together and being inspired by all the amazing perspectives the Kaylor fandom has been churning! Hope you like it :) Let me know your thoughts!

I feel like this is a long overdue piece and I actually don’t care if nobody reads this but I wanna talk about my bts concert.

Leading up this concert I was STRESSED but the day of the concert came and everything seemed to fall into place perfectly.

My friends and I got there and it was my first time visiting the o2 arena and bloody hell it was HUGE. We had seating in the amazon lounge so we knew we didn’t have to rush or anything like that. We queued for maybe an hour and sat down to Dope playing on the big screen.

We immediately started singing and got so ridiculously hyped at being able to watch all the mv’s. They went through practically all the mv’s twice in the two hours or so we were waiting before the concert started. I was SOOOO hyped and happy when No More Dream came on, it was like a dream come true being able to hear that song in an arena and everyone else singing along. Mic Drop was amazing. Bare in mind this is all just the music videos at this point. We listened to them for hours and we were happy just doing that to be honest.

I made the final decision of buying an army bomb, just the same as my two other friends did and BOI was I so thankful I did because I truly felt together with everyone when we were bopping along.

Then the dreaded announcement came, we had just seen the tweet from bighit regarding Kook, then the announcement came and it was horrible. It was horrible knowing we wouldn’t see our precious Jungkook dancing along with everyone but lemme tell you now he still did A M A Z I N G.

The concert started and it began. The happiest night of my life began.

I won’t go through each song because every single one of them blew me away. Every single one of them was far, far better live than I ever would have imagined.

I’ll talk about each member instead, I feel like that will be better.

First of all, Kim Seokjin. Kim Seok-bloody-Jin is INCREDIBLE. Epiphany really blew the house down, his high notes were amazing and the atmosphere he brought to the show was just that good. His part during So What, his usual army bomb bopping was HILARIOUS and he honestly is just so funny. He is lovely to look at too, he really is.

Moving on to, the man of the hour, the seesaw magic man Min Yoongi. Seesaw was lit guys, absolutely lit. Hearing Yoongi’s raps in real life were practically orgasmic. His little antics were amazing and his gummy smile is just beautiful. He’s so goofy and cute but so hot when he raps. He talked so highly of London and of our crowd which made us all so happy. I love him so much. So so much.

Now listen here lads, I have something to say about Kim Namjoon and that is he really deserves the whole world. He really is THAT man. He is nothing compared to any man I’ve ever known, is SO inspirational and curteous. He’s so polite, he radiates light and love. He helped me so much, just in those two hours seeing his beautiful GLOW I was a changed woman. Trivia: Love was mental, I fell so much more in love with that song after seeing him performing it because he looked so at home.

Jung Hoseok has changed me. CHANGED ME. His solo performance was insane. He was so beautiful. He was so bright and glowing. He was so happy and it was endearing to be a part of. He really is THAT man though, he is by far so much more attractive in person and I feel like photos don’t do him justice. His English has improved so much and it was very obvious that he was really trying by speaking completely in English for us. It was wonderful. He was wonderful.

Kim Taehyung is sinful, do you hear me? SINFUL. His duality is intense. One minute he’s a cutie hunny bunny showing his boxy smile and even giving a little bit of banter to the crowd, the next he was performing singularity and fake love and it was genuinely like some classy porno. He is so damn beautiful. His face is honestly a masterpiece and he shocked me with his melanin, he shocked me with his English too. He was practically fluent.

Jungkook made me cry. That boy deserves the whole world. It was so sad that he wasn’t able to perform with his hyungs but I was so thankful to be able to see the boys still interact with him. They didn’t leave him alone. Euphoria was beautiful, that song was like heaven to the ears anyway but has now become so much sadder after our concert yet was still unbeliebable. He cried and our hearts broke, the fact he admitted he prepared something in English for us but wanted to speak from his heart in Korean was astounding.

Lastly, Jimin. Park Jimin. My literal angel, love of my life, apple of my eye. That man will never compare to any other man for me. That’s it, he is it. He is that beautiful. He is unbelievably good looking, he’s so devilishly handsome but SO cute and babyish at the same time. He actually took my breath away. I wasn’t ready for him, I really wasn’t. Serendipity live is an experience in itself and his little shy smile at the end made my heart burst. I just couldn’t control myself when it came to him. I cried, I screamed, I smiled, I laughed and my heart burst with love and pride. His love for Jungkook also made me even happier, the way he was trying to cheer him up and not leaving his side when he began to cry was so heartwarming.

I honestly just don’t have words for it. The concert really changed me as a person and nothing will ever compare to that, they promised they’d be back next year and I will most definitely hold them to that.

My post concert depression was high af on the Wednesday, I didn’t want to do anything except lie down, cry and rewatch all the videos I had taken. I genuinely can’t listen to their music now (of course I can and do) but it’s in the sense that bts have ruined bts for me now lmao, the songs don’t compare to the live version now. The atmosphere was something I’d never felt before and I had been to some BIG concerts before that.

I love them so much. I honestly will never love a group like them and I have never loved a group like them before. (Yeah all the ‘bts stans are washed up 1D stans’ can suck my dick because yeah I did love 1D but it was nothing like how I love bts).

[END.]
