One Post To Rule Troublemaker
I've undertaken or rather I should say, I've reverted back to my old passions and love/ likes prior to University. Long story but anyways, as I've mentioned in a previous post, I'm a newly acquired Arashi fan. I'd say about 2 and a half months.
Anyways, I've been thinking, especially since I've been coming across a couple of like-LJs in search of active Arashi LJ community/communities, that I found a lot of semi-friends locked journals. Since I do mainly graphics and fanart and other creative stuff and that's what I will be mostly posting on here and in my tumblr (I'm very active in tumblr), I'm only going to be locking/ friend-locking posts concerning my personal life. And since I don't really blog or do any diary-type of things for years now, this will be the first time I'm going to (try) to write stuff that's going on with me personally. Kind of like put to bed the thoughts and feelings I have been having instead of just keeping it all in my head.
A lot has happened in my life and I dare say to anyone who wants to friend me (and my LJ friends already) that I'm an ok person with a lot of baggage^^ Most of the time I'm positive but life-goings definitely be through the up and down track and these last couple of months (to a year) has been mostly rough for me mentally. Hence I think it would be, quite possibly, a good idea to unearth these thoughts onto a written forum; where hopefully I won't be discriminated or judged too badly by those who decide they want to get to know me. Not that on a grand scheme it would matter to me what people (strangers/ by-passers) think, but at the same time and different level, it would kind-of and it would make some difference, mostly which could be positive. On another note, I'm also quite funny and weird, as I've been told countless of times. A closet-introvert also, as I've been told. Anyways, before I get side-tracked, if I ever did write anything personal about my life it would be in this place and these posts will be flocked. Otherwise, I think most of the stuff going on here will be graphics, art, etc. Whatever it is I make and find interesting.
Anyways, as I've said, this post will have some graphics relating to Arashi's Troublemaker. You know, as a newbie fan to this fandom, it's soooo hard to get sucked in because sources aren't as easily obtained as it was back in the days when JRock or L'Arc~en~Ciel/ Gackt was so popular on Livejournal. Most of the stuff I got through random sites similar to youtube (where I first discovered the band through a VS Arashi RAW); otherwise there have been some real nice people and open-active communities. And I understand their burden and how its become so strict with particular (like Arashi) fandoms. Just got to unearth these rare-these-days sources. Also, as I'm in the business of making stuff for free too for mass enjoyment as well as my own. I know how these subbers and uploaders feel because making graphics and such isn't really a walk in the park either. I just hope that whatever I share and whatever gets taken will be appreciated and, if ever possible, credited.
So sharing my own personal edits for enjoyment of the current fans and future fans of the band, here's a few Arashi [Troublemaker MV] gifs:
I did say I will be posting all my Troublemaker gifs in one post so I'm going to be updating this later. I didn't realize that I hadn't resized Aiba and Matsumoto's gifs though^^ oooh... I'm not biased! Or at least it should be obvious who I'm biased towards. Btw, Sho (my niiban) looks really good in this MV.
[ PLEASE NOTE: ] Do not hotlink because I use my own tumblr hotlink where I first posted these. I'm sharing these to the fandom so you can take it but it would be appreciated if I got some credit since I put work into these gifs. Btw, I will be experimenting to see if I can make LJ icons out of these.
P.S. Large gifs looks better right? I might resize all of these to the size of Matsumoto's gif^^
