Word and image

[wongkk.livejournal.com]

This is another one of Gackt's complex facial expressions.  It's a fairly uncomfortable picture, which I found thought-provoking but not easy to enjoy.  The poem is from the same set as the last Word and Image I posted.  

I'm not sure of the origin of this picture as there was no credit where I found it, but it looks to be from the Crescent/Last Song era and may be a screen cap e.g. from the photobook  "making of" video.  I've looked through the Crescent photobook itself fairly carefully and I can't see this picture there.  The words are mine.

Well, if he's gonna discard all of that stuff, at least take off the clothes. Damn he looks so...sweaty and hot. XD

But hormones aside, he looks like he's been through the ringer in the poem and image. Interesting...

Yes, doesn't he look defeated and on the point of grasping some dreadful self-truth? It's an arresting image but "interesting" is probably the most pleasant comment one can make! If it helps, there are some more positive poems in this set.

Thanks for taking the trouble to read and comment - even if your comment leads me to say...

What's with you and the sweat theme at the moment?! You expect ME to sleep after filling my head with sweaty spiders and all that?? If I have sleepless nights, I write truly bad "poems" - probably about sake. And Kenshin. And the UG Mod will suffer for it!

And does your request to remove clothes include the necklace - or does that stay on?! Sadly for you, my picture editing skills just ain't up to the job!

Question: how come your hormones seem to be more energetic when the rest of you should be extra tired?? Er - no need to answer! I'm curious though. You appear to be quite a phenomenon!

But your icon overcomes all. If I can't sleep, I will make your icon dance for me :)

Well, it's summer. I can't think of anything else except sweaty bodies and removing clothing. The necklace can stay. :D and When tired, I get delirious and giddy. Go figure.

LOL My icon is more famous than me. XD

Delirious and giddy?? Uh-oh! You is dangerous! Yeah, I thought the necklace ought to stay too ;)

You wanna plead summer, eh? Listen - I got assaulted by a hail storm yesterday. It's mid-August and we have lumps of ice falling out of the sky! Man, you won't get any sweat from the weather here.

Ah - your icon isn't more famous than you: it's just more visible :) You're famous cos of UG which I found and liked first. I know I'm only one person but you are so famous in my head!
