personally I think the American dream and all manifestations of it and the fact that there's no term for this sort of thing in other languages as ubiquitous as the American term for it is - are all evil. lol like, the mere formulation of it is evil. ofc that begets thinking of
capitalism and ofc that begets thinking of the very structure on which everything you ever consume stands. i think yoongi in 'strange' and '28' does the very precarious job of acknowledging that and not offering any answers on what is good or bad, just that because that is the
place where he belongs, where he comes from, he can't help but defend his stance in it every chance he gets. he's not some revolutionary or some reformer or whatever, he's just our friend with these set of experiences that he constantly finds himself battling and trying to make
sense of. he's constantly trying to affirm his place in the grand scheme of things, knowing that he's as far away from your or mine conceptions of normal than his own. the fact that he vocalizes this displacement constantly is what makes him so attractive, i think, for me
your kpop comfort boy is just the encapsulation of all that you go through except in a heightened, better form, so you can both call him squishy babie and devastation personified.
like yoongi I too am constantly fighting feelings of being 'off'. it's another reason why i love rm's "uhgood" so much which talks about these feelings exactly. maybe this is why I love namgi so much, maybe this is why all the wips in my folder are about yoongi.
