A cry for help...
Hello to all of our beloved community. N here.
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, COVID-19 has brought hell upon the last few years for many people - C and myself included. We’re both disabled and immunocompromised, so this entire thing has been terrifying.
With the eviction protection ending recently and our apartment raising rent again, we’re terrified of losing our home. We’ve been staying afloat thanks to stimulus money, but it’s run out. We don’t like having to ask for help, but we’ve run out of options…
Our account is now negative and we’re in a bit of a panic.
We could use your help, dearest community!
Our paypal account is teamcibby@gmail.com, anything you might have to send our spare is appreciated!
We also have an Amazon Wishlist, where we have things for our animals, if you prefer to help that way. Link is here!
I (N) will be selling commissions if you’d prefer to get something for your money. Contact our regular blog @randomreasonstolive-c-n for more information!
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
This blog has given us so, so many reasons to make it through these past few years and not give up, despite how tempting it has been. We appreciate you all, your support, and your love SO MUCH!
We hope your September starts looking up!
so this video isn't directly about bts but i feel like it's super relevant to them and how there's actually some interesting science going on behind the infamous bts army glow up.
if you're unfamiliar, the bts army glow up is the long running theory? shared experience? amongst said army that listening to bangtan is life changing, usually in incredibly positive ways. your self confidence goes up, your heart grows wider, your view of the world changes, sometimes imperceptibly, sometimes outright. when you choose to engage with their music, and i think you get out as much as you put in, you are choosing to immerse yourself in a thoughtfully composed orchestra of genuine thoughts and feelings and philosophies curated by real human beings. which can be really difficult to find in this age of AI and algorithms. (fuck them, as a wise man once said) go further and choose to engage with them directly, beyond their music alone, and now you're straight up in the magic shop.
if bts were any less than outstanding, that type of power and influence would be terrifying. in the wrong hands, it has been terrifying before but call it some sort of cosmic, karmic balance to the rest of these times we're forced to live in, against all odds, they are good. they are good people. they're overarching messages are positive and deep and applicable to their own lives, it's not just for show. and even when/where they are flawed, they grow, and are made all the greater for it.
personally, they have raised the bar for all of the media i enjoy. i am low key disappointed when i cannot find the underlying meaning in something. this artist hasn't used any jungian theory/greek mythology/contemporary indie films/etc. references in their work? well, what am i supposed to do with that? lol and i'm not saying everything, always, should be an elucidated think piece, that there's no room for the dulcet tones of bubblegum pop (bts has plenty!) or whatever cotton candy equivalents of entertainment, those things have their place, for sure.
but you are what you eat? or in this case, listen to. be careful what you consume.
i know we’re both just messing around pretending to be whole but look at me. if the train was coming would you move. if the ground was falling from under your feet would you even notice or would it just be another tuesday for you. if somebody stabbed you could it hurt worse than you already do. what i’m saying is that i love you but i think we both drive over the speed limit when it’s raining. what i’m saying is that i want to hold your hand and i understand about how you sometimes have to sit down in the shower. what i’m saying is that i’m here for you and if the train comes please move.
