bts in 'come over' saying, "you'll never love me like the way you did before", in fear of whether distance could undo us and to respond to that i borrow from philip larkin: "what will survive of us is love". nothing we truly were was lost, rather, we endure as a motif of forever.
Jimin has decided he will be wrecking me for this comeback. Did he ask my opinion? No. Am I mad about it? OF COURSE I AM. LOOK AT HIM. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE LIKE THIS
jungkook (swim pool ver.)
pool version’s playful spirit reminds me of hockney’s composite polaroids, many of which recall his famous la pool paintings (ex. in thread).

@JINSE0K_ This isn’t the official Times Square account. The official handle is @/TimesSquareNYC, this is @/welcometotimessquare, it’s just a company that owns a billboard in TSQ
Pretty sure they’re just chasing engagement.
i have concluded that some of this comes down to taste, but a lot of it comes down to people not expecting or wanting to be challenged by music or art. for me, being challenged is one of the great gifts / joys that music can offer.
notice here i did not say “korean roots.” i have a real problem with the complaints that arirang isn’t “korean enough” bc it has “too much english” or not enough korean instrumentation or signifiers or other songwriters. bts doesn’t need to perform koreanness—they ARE korean.
in the visuals for SWIM, i see artist winslow homer- from palette, to subject, to framing. the sea fascinated homer across his career and media.
1. winslow homer, clear sailing, 1880
2. winslow homer, stowing sail, 1903
3. winslow homer, seven boys in a dory, 1873
