CRITICAL BEAUTY - PENTAGON

[reasonsforhope]

hey i get what youre trying to say with the taylor swift post but as of a few days ago shes trying to sue a college student who posts her (publicly available) flight logs. she very much does not give a shit about her carbon emissions and she shouldn’t be celebrated for her mediocre attempts to seem climate-conscious

I get what you're saying, definitely. I also did actually know about the thing with the college student when I posted that, so I wanted to give some context about why I made that post:

First, I personally didn't view it as celebrating her so much as celebrating progress. I think that if we never acknowledge wins, we'll end up dispirited very quickly

Second, recognizing when people decide to be less shitty is, at least I think, an important carrot in the carrot-and-stick dynamic of using public opinion to influence public figures

Lastly - and this may well be an unpopular opinion - but I don't actually hold her actions re: the college student against her

Why?

Well, for one, it was a cease and desist letter, not an attempted lawsuit. A cease and desist letter isn't legally binding, nor is it the start of a lawsuit - it's more like she's Putting Him On Notice. A cease and desist order can be followed by a lawsuit, if it's ignored, but it doesn't initiate one. Likely Taylor Swift will try several other steps of resolution before actually telling her lawyers to sue this guy, if only because the headlines would Not look good (x, x)

But more than that, I don't hold it against her because when Taylor Swift says that it's a matter of life and death for her, I believe that's very true.

Like, don't get me wrong, I'm not mad about her flight data being up either. And I'm not particularly a fan of Taylor Swift

But I also think that if I had to read through the rape and death threats she gets on an almost-certainly-daily basis, I'd want to vomit.

And I think that was true before Trump and his minions got obsessed with the idea that she's the keystone in the next Biden-election-stealing Pentagon psyops plot. Now - especially in the days right before the Superbowl, when this alleged conspiracy is supposed to happen - I don't even want to think about the brutality of the threats she's receiving

(For anyone going "Uh, wtf?" about the MAGA Superbowl Taylor Swift conspiracy thing, yes, I hate to inform you that it's A Whole Thing. More info here: x, x, x, x, x, x)

Taylor Swift does have stalkers, and now she has a bunch of MAGA paramilitary conspiracy theorists absolutely furious with her. If I were her, I'd want to do every single thing I could to keep information on my movements and in-the-moment location off the internet, too

tl;dr: I don't necessarily think she cares about the environment, but I'm not mad at her for sending a cease and desist letter because I think without her extensive security, she would be in real danger now, including possibly danger of being killed by armed MAGA conspiracy theorists

You're allowed to be mad at her and dislike her (obviously!), you're allowed to totally disagree with my attitude toward the cease and desist. I just wanted to share my rationale for including the post (and it is something I went back and forth on tbh)

links to twilight pentagram analysis

i'll read the japanese and stuff later LOL for now this thread's just gonna serve as a compilation of links while I listen to Twilight Pentagon for the 100th time

on the choreography:

on the flower symbolisms (Japanese):

flower symbolisms (english):

translation of lyrics:

wataru is the last one left standing + revealing natsume

more on the order of appearances:

enjoy natsume's spp

cool observations

inspiration for the music

^^ personally I think it's style is like Tempest Night,,, as if it were written by Eichi with Wataru's influence right ;) along with the electric elements, 'kpop' because it is based off Natsume's proposal after all. perhaps the jazz trumpets could be rei's influence (slight) idk anything abt the event story, but perhaps rei had a part in this too? ahahah eirei dorm

cool observation about the stars?

^^ to add on kanata sings about twilight reminisces in the sky just as the comets in the background come on (a reference to meteor impact)

as a knightsP though, I need to end with this.

Woke up early this morning, 40 minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off, just to see that like all of Pentagon is leaving Cube Entertainment (good for them, but also 😭😭😭 recently I was wondering if/when they were ever going to have a comeback), and also my manager just asked me if I’ll come in early (but I also just realized that this means I’ll have more hours this week, and also the coworker I don’t want to work with is actually not gonna be there today!)

[jinhogwarts]

it's always exhausting when non fans put in their thoughts about groups they know nothing about, but nothing makes me rage like when non unis do it. it happened in 2018 (and after, even now people still talk about it saying it ruined pentagon despite the fact that in all areas other than views every single comeback since shine did way better) and it's happening now. like, if you don't know the facts about a group just don't speak. we don't want your wrong opinions, we don't want you to report back the lies you were made to believe in. we've been here longer than you have and we know what is true... so why are you speaking over us?

i might try and stan pentagon 🧍🏻‍♀️

Despite being a relatively quiet, unassuming, and non-controversial figure in President Obama’s Cabinet, Ash Carter was an extremely effective and efficient Secretary of Defense. A Rhodes Scholar who earned a doctorate in theoretical physics at the University of Oxford in England, Carter was one of the most brilliant and well-qualified members of the Obama Administration and helped bring innovative ways of thinking to the Pentagon where he served at several different levels of the national security team throughout President Obama’s two terms.

People will say shit like this then complain about the pentagon budget being too high

[suuho]

I’m absolutely no army nor do I like bts or anything so I could be wrong but I feel like army misinterpreted that announcement to mean they’d all be done enlistment by 2025. I interpret it as the two oldest will be back by 2025 have a comeback etc. that means the others will focus on solo music and periodic group activities until they’re 30 and then enlist. They all have special exemption which means they can all wait until 30 so why would they go early and miss out on a chance to establish themselves as soloists? Not as singers only (because let’s be real they’re terrible vocalists and I saw some clips that made me literally cringe) but maybe endorsements or acting or being socialites or whatever.

oh, there’s absolutely no way bts will be done by 2025 with their enlistment. that was just added to placate the fandom and investors. especially considering they said in the same announcement that all members will enlist individually.
