#sun asks

here's my thoughts. sorry i'm using your ask to post this rant. it's not an attack on what this person said -- it's just my thoughts that have been brewing all day.

i'm happy he's having a chicago show. i feel like that's really important for him. chicago is the birthplace of his friendship with the guys and where he filmed his audition for ST and where they started music stuff, etc. so, the shows in chicago are probably always reallly fulfilling.

the partnership with chase is honestly just really common. a lot of celebrities do partnerships/sponsorships like that. it's part of the gig.

joe likely has zero, or very little, control over planning and prices. his team likely handles it all for him. he does so much that he cannot possibly keep track of it all. being a celebrity is just being carted around to different events and interviews and being told what to do or say and when. it's exhausting for them. even if they love their job, it's exhausting.

and let's not forget -- this is his job. he used ST money to help fund his music. but, at the end of the day, he makes money doing this, which helps support him in life.

we cannot forget that the stuff celebrities do are their jobs.

yeah, i think the prices are steep. i can't afford them. a lot of people can't. and that's really on inflation and greed under capitalism. his prices are honestly cheaper than a lot i've seen. joe doesn't set his prices. his team has more control over it. but even then, they have to cover expenses -- travel, food, security, renting location, hotel fees, gas, cars, drivers, etc. the list goes on. they use that money to pay for everything that helps joe be there.

scalpers are the worst. there are only so many protections that can be put in place to prevent against them. we should still use those protections -- absolutely. being a chase bank member is a protection. but, dedicated scalpers always find a way. they can spoof ips super easily these days, which makes it so easy. and yeah, they can try to set things on the sites to prevent reselling. i think that there should be more action on trying to make scalpers less successful, but it's hard.

and, the people who are mad that they paid $200-250 for VIP on tour and didn't meet him and the people paying $150 now are getting to meet him -- why? why are you mad?

i'm happy for these people! they get to meet joe as advertised. the VIP packages didn't promise meet and greets (to my knowledge).

are you just mad that you paid more and didn't meet him? because, that's kind of not cool. and you know what it reminds me of? "back in my day, we paid $x for college/rent/etc. so why should you get your student loans/debt forgiven? that's not fair"

hey! that pov is kind of shitty! i'm happy for these people who get the VIP. i'm happy for those who get to meet joe. i'm happy for those who get limited edition merch. i'm happy for the fans who get to engage with the media of their favorite artists.

just because i don't have something doesn't mean someone else shouldn't have it.

just because i paid more for something doesn't mean someone else shouldn't get the chance to pay less.

Eu viii

E eu vou falar a msm coisa que falei pra todas minhas amigas: eu n sei bem o que eu tô sentindo, provavelmente é o sentimento compartilhado de todas as nctzens KKKKKKK

Eu amo o Mark, amo, amo, amo muito esse homem, ele é um ser extremamente iluminado, amo as perspectivas dele, amo o trabalho dele, certamente ele é uma das celebridades nas quais eu mais me identifico, e eu acredito que todo mundo sabe que o propósito dele é muito maior do que estar somente no nct, não que isso elimine todos os momentos bons que ele teve estando no grupo.

Eu sei que dói acreditar, mas tudo tem um fim, até a vida tem um fim, por que ciclos também não teriam não é mesmo??

Eu n tô triste, tô mais saudosista por tudo que ele proporcionou, por todo talento que ele derramou no Dream, no 127. Mas preciso admitir, vou sentir muita falta dele no Dream.

O Dream é meu grupo conforto, no ensino médio, quando eu não sabia o que iria fazer no próximo ano, de alguma forma as músicas do Dream me apaziguavam, no primeiro ano da faculdade, quando eu me sentia deslocada e sozinha, o Dream sempre tava no meu fone. Então, o Mark saindo dele, é um pedacinho do Dream se esvaindo.

No entanto, isso não é uma história triste, a gente até pode chorar, de emoção, porque ele vai trilhar outra jornada incrível e próspera no meio solo, e o que nos resta é apoiar esse homem perfeitinho mesmo imperfeito. Enfim, é isso!!

Moon: “I’m ‘black’!!”

Sun: “I’m yellow!!”

Nebula: “And I’m single~!! What’s up, Solar~?”

Solar: “Uh-“

Nebula: “I MEAN FELLAS, SHI-“

I can take her..

WHO SAID THAT- WHOAAA WHO SAID THATTT--

hiii friend!! :D

of course!! i’m very sorry for my late response, i’ve been swamped with so many assignments and exams ;-; but i LOVE talking about Father Thanatos!

okay, so first off, a dear friend of mine graciously offered to help with a reading which done a couple of months ago. i could feel like there was a deity i was being pulled towards to worship, but i couldn’t for the life of me figure it out. it was through this reading that i was able to know that Father Thanatos was trying to get my attention towards worshipping Him and working on myself in His name. when i was still a baby Helpol, i thought that you could only ever worship a deity if they had called out to you, and that you would get such extravagant and over-the-top signs of being chosen. it wasn’t the case, though. it was more like a gentle and soft call— an invitation of sorts. i started my worship through prayer, devotional acts, and the smallest of offerings (i couldn’t always offer food since i had no way of discretely disposing of them instead of just eating them; the struggles of not being able to practice openly yk). by building a relationship, i was able to figure out that i had to start working on aspects of myself that i had wanted to change for a while now. the thoughts of me working towards overcoming people/relationships who were no longer in my life, bettering myself as a person, dealing with the crushing weight of my anxiety— these all pulled me towards my devotion towards Father Thanatos. it just felt right to worship Him, you know. and putting aside the reading and the reasons i have to devote myself, you can really reach out to and worship any deity if it’s what you want to do. that’s the beauty of this religion.

in terms of how i worship him, i remember i made a post about the different ways i have been honoring Him, you can find it down here

i tend to do a lot more subtle, devotional acts instead of physical offerings— mainly because of the current situation i live in that stops me from openly practicing, my preference for this form of worship, and also because of my declining mental health that makes it difficult to be so active.

i made it a habit of drinking a cup of tea almost every evening. sometimes inviting a deity to join you in these moments of calm and solace are really a great way to worship Them. i dedicate many prayers to Him, mostly ones that i come up with. they’re not poetic in any way, shape, or form, but they bring me comfort in knowing that i’m being heard when i reach out and pray. i worship Him through the ways i’ve been changing myself and allowing myself to be more comfortable during my final years at university (i planned on making a separate post about this, and i still will, time has just not been on my side). i take more risks in His name, i study my lectures in His name, i complete assignments in His name, i sit for exams and keep a steady mind through them in His name. as a psychology major working towards being able to help others and even help myself in flipping the page from our past self to a better and refined present self, i tend to associate that process with the domain of Death. Death in this case, rather than being an actual physical act of leaving your mortal shell, is like allowing yourself to part with the old version of yourself and working on becoming a newer version (death and reincarnation, in a sense). that’s why i’ve often been forcing myself to leave the security and comfort of the known and embrace the unknown. i know it might seem like rambling at this point (it lowkey is, i just love talking about Father Thanatos), but it’s just an explanation of my way of worship that fits my current circumstances while also making sure that i’m remaining steady and devoted in my faith towards Him.

like i said, i went on a ramble, so if i missed the point of your question i am so sorry 😭

lmfaoo

that would be when me and obsession were singing epic songs lmao
