Let Winterlight Come

I've discovered that these days - regardless of whether or not I'm especially hormonal - watching movies makes me cry really, really easily. Sometimes, nothing sad will be happening; I'll just start crying. It's a little worrying. But today, I was watching the extra stuff on the DVD for the last season of Friends, a show that I really enjoyed, but never thought I'd cry over. And I cried.

Then I came on LJ and saw a slew (starting with l33t_dreams's, which made me feel like I'd electrocuted myself) of posts about Jasmine You having passed away. I really don't know what to say. I hadn't heard of him before Versailles, and Versailles wasn't my favorite band, but I guess... well, Iris and I had made a whole AU 'verse in which Jasmine You was pretty much the regal, kickass queen, so I've had a soft spot for him for awhile. And his shoot in the latest Rock & Read was just so pretty, and relatively... undressed (for Versailles), that I'd really hoped we'd get to know more and see more of him from different angles like that one.

I can't really think straight right now. It's hard to be in a state of shock and trying to figure out how to grieve (the word seems a bit strong for someone I didn't ever meet, but I think it fits well enough), while someone who is completely ignorant of this nags you about household chores and school-related things. :/

...but I can think that it is kind of disgusting that the second comment to that S-T post is just, "I've always wondered what would happen if someone from a vk band died..." WTF. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time this has happened - I don't suppose this person has heard of, oh, hide? Or Kami? That aside, it just seems in poor taste, even if she wasn't a fan of the band.
