#lightstick design

[sparkles-in-the-art]

In class, we had to design a free project and I decided to create a lightstick for the group 1verse. What do you think?

Gosh, I would love for 1verse to see it, but I know it'll be really difficult, so I'm content with you seeing it (I don't want to spam them with notifications either)

I also thought of adding an SD card slot so concerts' audio can be recorded right next to the battery compartment, but I wasn't sure about it so I left it out.

En mi clase, tuvimos que diseñar un proyecto libre y decidí crear un lightstick para el grupo 1verse. Qué os parece?

Ay, me encantaría que 1verse lo viera, pero sé que es díficil así que me conformo con que vosotros lo veáis (tampoco quiero petarles a notificaciones)

También pensé en agregar una ranura para tarjetas SD para que el audio de los conciertos se pueda grabar, justo al lado del compartimiento de la batería, pero no estaba segura, así que lo dejé fuera.

✨ First Round of K-Pop Lightstick Designs in ACNH! ✨

I finally started turning my K-pop brain into custom designs and made a bunch of lightsticks in Animal Crossing—because obviously my villagers needed their own concert experience, right??

This is just the first batch, and I had way too much fun figuring out how to capture the vibe of each fandom with pixels. From pastel and dreamy to bold and iconic, I tried to make each one feel true to its group!

Feel free to use them on your own island setups—great for stages, merch stands, or just vibing in your favorite idol fit. Let me know if you get a chance to use them 😊 Feel free to message me or DM me on insta.

Let me know which groups I should do next, and if your fave is already in here, tell me how I did!

Megan Thee Stallion Lightsticks (1&2)

Had the idea of making Lightsticks for Megan Thee Stallion since now she an honorary Kpop idol.

[thispageisoldandembarrasing]

There is no way I'm buying all of those lightsticks. Is it not just interchangeable? This is so stupid.

nwjns lightstick for future stickerpack!

My head is still only full of thoughts of the A.C.E concert last night. It was my first in person k-pop concert and I had a blast! All the other choice were so nice and friendly. And holy shit do those boys put on a great show. If they come back to Indy again next year I’ll splurge on the fansign for sure.

Something veeery different from my usual art, actually I think it's the first object I draw being it the main focus (or only one) of the illustration! I tried so hard to draw all the shadows and lights correctly 🖤🖤 I hope you will like it 😳 - - This always brings me back the prettiest memories 🥰💞

Lightstick concepts

[daintyzerose]

[glasshcvse]

HOW DID YOU CREATE THESE DOLLS ITS SO GOOD 🥹

AINE  ! ⠀ › ⠀ SAYS.   oh my god, thank you so much, anon !!! i used bing ai to get the dolls, although, you do have to be very specific over the design ( even tho sometimes the ai can still make it wrong lmao ), but it's so fun to use the site for whatever you have in mind!! i can't stop using it bc of how cool it makes the stuff for my ocs!

[ohseumi]

i wish i could get an ooo lightstick and decorate it all cute for the concert but it’s out of stock everywhere i’ve looked💔

[kaleidographiks]

an epik lightstick, park kyu bong 🖕♥️

[bandsanitizer]

okay but I can’t believe the history of kingdom era is essentially over. I mean there’s still promo to do as part seven just released but like�� that’s the last one! end of an era for sure! I’m honestly so so excited to see what’s in store for the next “season” of kingdom. the way they’ll mesh and collide the different concepts of each member and what new music & lore is in store! maybe more context for hwon as well!! (I’m also very glad chiwoo was very much kept and represented in that season one recap video) very proud of how far kingdom has come in the last three years-ish and very excited for all the future holds!! manifesting a full-length album (and maybe some sub units? 👀) in the near future!!

A 44 year old man goes to a K-Pop Concert

I promised you a report on the K-pop concert that I, a 44-year-old accountant, went to a couple of weeks ago with my wife and daughter in Toronto. So here it is.

The band we saw were Ateez. They're my daughter's favourite band and my wife's second favourite. I know most of my mutuals are similarly aged like me and may not be familiar with them so let me give you a brief primer on Ateez.

Imagine the most attractive eight men you can think of, just unfathomably beautiful specimens of aesthetic perfection, and make them sing songs that somehow combine the subjects of 'dancing like nobody is watching' with 'we live in a dystopian hellscape that we must all work together to overthrow'. Give them an ongoing music video story lore that literally nobody - not even the band themselves - understand, so that online discussion of their visual motifs looks more like the fevered rantings of a conspiracy theorist, complete with speculation about alternate realities and time being a Moebius strip. There is also a giant sand timer, for some reason.

That's Ateez. That's what you need to know.

Now, K-pop concerts are very different to the gigs I've been going to for the last 28 (!) years. There's no support act, for a start. Also the band perform for like, three hours, with breaks for costume changes and interpretive dance. Furthermore, hanging above everything is the constant looming threat of mandatory military service.

So this being my first such concert, I wasn't sure what to expect. What happened was difficult to explain, but I will try as I am already six paragraphs into this write-up and I'm too invested to stop now. Here goes:

In his Wicked + Divine comics series, Kieron Gillen places modern pop icons as deities, feeding upon and gaining strength from the worship of their fans at the altar of musical performance. I thought I understood that metaphor. I thought I understood it AS a metaphor. I was wrong, because that night Ateez WERE Gods with a capital G and we were their worshippers, a crowd emanating adoration (in the religious and non-religious senses), bestowing strength upon them and gaining their strength in return.

If that sounds weird, it probably is. But as pointed out above, I have lived over four decades and never yet experienced anything like the overwhelming passion of that crowd, the utter abandon with which they conveyed their love for the band.

"But Fuiru, what of the actual music?" you ask. Thinking back, there was a moment in one of their songs - I can't remember which - where I watched the stage, and the people around me, taking it in, and I thought, "Man, I just love Music". But that doesn't answer your question, sorry.

Ateez's music is bloody great. As a tiresome indie/rock/metal kid I'm resisting the urge to add the usual tiresome indie/rock/metal caveat of "...for pop music" because honestly that does it a disservice. They have some genuinely amazing songs. Halazia is an absolute fucking masterpiece that descends into furious hardcore breakbeat. Bouncy is a big, brash racket that somehow is also a perfect pop song. Utopia, Wonderland, and Guerrilla are similarly superb. The obligatory boy band slow number is represented by Dancing Like Butterfly Wings which will make you cry because you will forever associate it with your twelve year old daughter being pointed to and waved at by her favourite Ateez member (Seonghwa) because of her Seonghwa-branded lightstick.

That might just be me, though.

So in summary: being a 44 year old dad at his first K-pop concert rules and you should endeavour to partake in the experience if the opportunity arises.

Finally, for any Atiny reading this: my bias would be San or Seonghwa but my wife and daughter said they were taken so it’s Mingi. My concert outfit (designed and created by my offspring) reflects this.

i know many of you do not give a damn and that is a problem in its own regard but i am posting this in hopes that those who are unaware and who value their morals and their integrity over music will hopefully take something from it.

this seventeen album should be boycotted at all costs. i have been a carat for seven years now and i have a lot of love (as well as frustration) for these guys. i am endlessly proud of them for making it ten years in an industry designed to tear them down and wear them out, to take everything from human beings that it can— and then some. however i cannot allow this to overshadow the negative things surrounding this album, nor should you.

i will preface by saying that seventeen will not see a huge impact from a boycott. they make pennies on the dime per stream, $0.003 cents. seventeen are also far past comfortable financially, they are by all means rich, particularly woozi. they will be a-ok. this will not cause any damage to them outside of potential bruised egos, which is an unfortunate impact however not more important than the overall issues.

i also want to say that we know that boycotting is an effective tool to put pressure on companies to change their ways, but it needs to be an organized effort. it's not something you do for a few months and give up. it's also not something you pick and choose with — you don't avoid streaming songs and then buy a lightstick from the weverse shop because it was pretty, or attend a concert.

that said, you all should be boycotting hybe anyway. this is for multiple reasons. first is their employment and collaboration with people such as scooter braun, a staunch zionist who was outright thanked by the official israel twitter account. when scooter braun found out he was on the zionists in music twitter account, he said it was an honor and he never could've dreamed of such a thing happening to him. scooter braun has a long, problematic history i would encourage all of you to thoroughly research.

hybe has also recruited artists like johnny goldstein to work on their tracks. he is credited on enhypen, illit and txt tracks, and he has also worked closely with j-hope of bts. johnny goldstein is both a ccfp member as well as a former iof soldier. he is quite literally a child murderer and he is sitting in rooms with your favorite artists. that should infuriate you.

if that is not enough, consider the level of overwork that these artists have faced. seventeen is on their sixth album in approxiately 365 calendar days between whole group projects and individual unit projects. these all have one common factor: jihoon. he has produced six albums, short or otherwise, in one year. in one year, seventeen has also done one world tour, a japan tour, caratland, and headlined three festivals. does any of this sound sustainable for human beings? they are treated like products by their company, not human beings.

for these reasons there has been a boycott in place for over a year. many carats have chosen to break it out of 'love', but in reality, they are complicit in the mistreatment of their idols.

if none of this concerns you, there are also massive red flags with this current album.

first, bad influence, which makes up a third of the group songs on the album, is produced by pharrell who is a known zionist. in april 2024, in spite of the current social climate and despite readily available information, pharrell chose to accept an invitation to sing 'happy' to iof soldiers at a fundraising event. this is while carats in gaza are packing their photocards up while they flee their homes. pharrell made the conscious choice to be on the wrong side of history.

next, wonwoo's track credits el capitxn, who in march, took to instagram to brag that his company, vendors, produced a song for kanye's album which kanye himself said was based on 'antisemitic sounds'. they worked on the track ww3, which includes verses about epstein island, voting for djt, and 'rockin swastikas'. all he had to say regarding it was that he was 'proud of his boys' and 'they make it happen'.

you either stand in one of three places.

one, you believe seventeen does not have much autonomy. in that event, you should be angry and embarrassed that such individuals have their hands in their music, muddying everything seventeen is meant to stand for. you should not stand for it and the way to make a stand against it is by boycotting.

two, you believe seventeen does have autonomy and they have the ability to deny or to okay these things. if that is the case, you should feel frustration towards them for not doing their due diligence in these matters, when they are thirteen grown men with full, unrestricted access to the internet, when they have been called out for similar behavior before, when at least one of them has to know better. you can make that frustration known by boycotting.

or you don't really care, and at the end of the day you'll always be spineless, a so called 'real fan' who will buy into everything they do and reserve all your anger for those who want them to do better, who consistently call them out, instead of wishing they would make fewer mistakes. you will always buy the albums and the photocards and the concert tickets because you don't have the strength to be anything more than another cog in the capitalist machine. just know that you are not a fan, you are a consumer, and that your blind support and willingness to throw your money at every endeavor ultimately harms your artists before it helps them.

if you do care... take a stand. take a stand against mistreatment and overwork, against seventeen being pushed towards being another mass produced, western pandering act. take a stand towards seventeen's music having filthy hands involved in it everytime you look up. you should be embarrassed, you should be frustrated and you need to do something about it or nothing will ever change.

there should never be a time in modern history where we are proud for our favorite artists to work with zionists and people who shake hands with nazis. there is no excuse.

seventeen will survive losing streams and chart positions. they will live. and maybe their company will learn a valuable lesson for it. we have the power to do something and it's high time we wake up and do it, all of us.

nobody is saying you can’t listen. but instead of opening spotify up, download the tracks from a third party instead. they will be ok, i promise. boycotting takes no effort, it is literally an act of not doing something. if seventeen means something to you, this is how you should express it right now. please, i want better for them and you should as well.
