You knew of this boy that was part-time model,

but never dared to talk to him, 

yet he was always looking at you,

looking from afar,

without saying anything

I Did My Makeup Like Every Single Member of BTS for a Week

Seven days, seven members, all the smoky eyes.

I stumbled upon this article and actually quite enjoyed it. You could tell that she knew what she was talking about in reference to BTS. For Pete’s sake, she even referenced that dance Yoongi does when he’s excited. If she’s a fake, she’s a phenomenal one. And we all know how much we hate fakes in this fandom.

Anywho, this is just a fun, enjoyable, slightly random article/challenge. It’s also one that we’ve all probably tried executing successfully on occasion (with varied success). Now I just want to go play kpop makeup (that makes it sound like a game lol).

I know it's difficult to look past mochi sexy in the first gif, but check out Jungkook's expression. He looks like he's possessed for a moment there. Just me? Ok.

I just need this to look at... no particular reason

I couldn't agree more. Finally someone said it in a way that actually makes sense and addresses the problem.

holy shit i just listened to hidden brain's ep of just sex and i never realized how problematic hook up culture is... such a fine line between empowerment and perpetuating toxic masculinity/rape culture/misogyny...

YES! i think that it’s amazing that we are encouraging women to pursue typically male careers and to behave like men e.g. wear their clothes, hook up, etc. but the biggest issue with this is that we don’t encourage or give importance to the reverse. We want women to be engineers and doctors, and we look down on women who pursue liberal arts or typically “female” careers. Women who care about makeup and their appearances are superficial. Women who care about raising a family are weak. Anything female is weak and lame. 

We aren’t encouraging women to be equal to men. We are encouraging women to be like men. And that fundamentally implies that there is something lesser or subordinate about being a woman. And it’s so fucking ridiculous. 

Women can wear pants and they’re seen as strong and dominant. A man wearing a skirt is seen as fucking ridiculous and humiliating. Why? Because being seen as feminine is an insult. And that’s what the problem is. 

Hook up culture is what men like. Sure, it’s totally fine for a woman to be like a man and sleep around. And I’m really happy that the stigma is lessened for that. But now having feelings is weak? Wanting a relationship is feminine and embarrassing? It’s ridiculous. And I don’t think we’ll ever move forward as a society until we start encouraging and validating stereotypically female behaviors as well.
