Celebrities and parasocialism

yknow ever since kpop got popular i think parasocialism has had a much bigger conversation around it than ever before. and again i feel like people look at this topic in such a black and white view. because parasocial relationships i think are neutral. 

ive seen so many people call parasocial relationships with celebrities bad which i mean they certainly can be but it can also be good. 

like having a role model in life, a celebrity can change ur worldview in a good and bad way. i think it depends on how u act based on what inspires you. 

like not to mention ryuichi in literally every single post i make but he has done more good to my life than bad. i started playing the piano again, i started learning music theory again, i started to take in the beauty of nature, ive started to change my mindset on just people. like he made a change in my life a good change. 

but also we shouldnt deny the fact that celebrities are not perfect people. and a lot of celebrities are very bad people πŸ’€ which makes putting them on a pedestal bad. some celebs should definitely not be a role model for individuals

Beauty standards pt. 2

i kinda talked abt beauty standards a little bit in my last post abt being skinny and stuff. but i wanted to add more. a diff perspective. analyzing it more than just a black and white view again. 

i think people (esp teenage girls) should take more responsibility on their own looks(?) and self esteem(?). like i know beauty standards are terrible and have an effect on everybody but u should take responsibility for the fact that ur ruining ur own body for urself. like DIETS as i mentioned 😭ill always feel bad for girls who got bullied for being fat and going on diets but u know u can change anyday. same thing as the ur trauma is not ur fault but it is ur responsibility yknow. 

like i lowkey dont care that i have armpit hair or that i have folds lmao and my neck is short and i have downturned eyes i lowkey dgaf. sometimes i get a little insecure like everybody but its just my body yknow cant do nothing abt it unless i get plastic surgery or something but i dont wanna do that. beauty standards will always exist and u can choose what u want to do to urself.

like are u gonna starve urself or are u gonna eat that damn donut. also stop calling urself big back when u cant even handle a bowl of cereal

hatsune miku x ymo

also random but i cant believe hatsune miku x ymo is a real thing that happened and not just something that i hallucinated


this one is probably my fav of the miku x ymo covers. this and also technopolis and tong poo

also this vocaloid x ymo crossover happened not once not twice but three times

  1. ive always seen people describe parasocialism as a bad thing, its nice to hear someone talk about how it can be good too!

    i get what youre saying about beauty standards, and personally i think teen girls have it the worst like how are you supposed to take responsibility for your self-esteem when teen girls are one of the most criticized groups and are more prone to mental health issues. esp online, there are so many people who will make them feel terrible about every aspect of their looks or personality 😭 it makes it hard to change and develop good self-esteem in a healthy way yknow
    also are downturned eyes a 'bad' thing? 😭 yo thats one of my favorite eye shapes..

    ymo x miku is crazy they really do collab with anyone and everyone

    1. yeah i know i dont want to be mean because we really do have it the worst 😭but yknow its still ur choice to change thats what im saying. esp cuz as a teenage girl myself i dont really care abt beauty standards at all and its been so freeing. i just wish other girls wouldnt care either. like fight against the system or whatever.

      like do u rememberthat one video that i mentioned where this woman was talking abt how being feminine will benefit you. its like man women are truly so cooked. cuz nobody wants to fight.

      downturned eyes on east asians i mean i literally havent seen a single person talk abt how downturned eyes on east asians look pretty. ive literally never seen an east asian celebrity with downturned eyes 😭 its rough.

      how it feels to be an east asian with downturned eyes while all the other east asians have upturned or almond eyes and get complimented on their eye shapes πŸ’”πŸ’”
