#Contract termination

[stereax]

[nyxxlikeskpop]

New Jeans have decided to leave HYBE.

They held a press conference without HYBE and ADOR's knowledge. They said they have not breached their contracts and will finish their schedules before leaving...They also said they don't believe they will have to pay fees/fines.

This is not Bravery. This is Stupidity.

They do not understand the fucking minefield they just stumbled into. There are gonna be so many lawsuits...

It's Fifty Fifty all over again...I'm so fucking tired at this point.

No one is gonna save them from this shitshow. They will be lucky if a small company takes pity on them..but that's really unlikely.

Did Your Business Suffer from a Contract Law Breach? Here's What to Do

Introduction Contract law is a fundamental aspect of the legal system, governing the formation, execution, and enforcement of agreements between parties. In business transactions, contracts serve as the backbone, ensuring that all parties involved are clear about their obligations and expectations. These legal instruments are pivotal in managing relationships and operations within a business…

funny to think that when i was a kid i was all "i REFUSE to ever work an office job, i am a wild creature, my spirit is free and tempestuous and cannot be contained within cubicle walls" and now at the age of [REDACTED] i'm like please. please give me an office job. please give me a sensible office job where all i have to do is get up at the same time each day and clock in and send emails and clock out again. i am on my knees begging.

current theory is that JIn Guangyao got rid of xue Yang not because of sect politics or xy being a liability to jgy's social climbing, but because eventually xue yang grew taller than jin guangyao

and we can't have that

In their latest attempt to test my goddamn patience, the beloathed management company requested my signature on a contract amendment with no explanatory email or conversation. Just sent me the document, which adds a termination fee and removes our ability to negotiate price increases. Incredibly bold move given I found out 3 business days ago that they haven't been paying any of our bills, which, while not being their one job, is definitely up there. I am not signing that shit. Should've thought about that before you had me sign a contract that's binding until October 31 of next year. Want to argue about it? See you tomorrow. With my skull.

I need people to understand how genuinely unhinged Tara Markov was in the original Judas Contract Arc. Like yes she was absolutely manipulated by Slade and he absolutely groomed her like a fucking creep.

But also this girl was fucking crazy. There's one point where Slade is training terra and he is genuinely concerned about how powerful she is. I think he mentions something about how it's good she doesn't know her own power because otherwise he's in danger. And girl is so emotionally volatile I'm surprised she lasted so long as a double agent.

Like in the movie and in the teen titans show, they have Terra realize that Slade was just using her and she's a good person at heart so she sacrifices herself to stop him or whatever. In the comics Terra was genuinely in love with Slade and when she realized he was using her feelings to her advantage she decided to kill him. She didn't stop hating the titan's. In fact she probably hated them more because Slade chose Joey over her. But she despised Slade more. Like holy fucking shit.

yeah, i don't think I'll ever be fully over Dorian and my Inquisitor as a couple

like i may be something of a serial blorboshipper, I know that, but they just... they're just it for me, you know

they got everything

the raw sexual tension between tank and support. the coy wordplay bleeding into overt, if playful flirtation. the friendship as natural as breathing as they march side by side into love inevitable. the attack dog devotion. the fearless leader falling to his knees in worship of his beloved. the deep understanding unlike any they've had with anyone before.

the humor. the kink. the angst. the both of them feeling ever so vaguely unworthy of the other, and marveling at not just each other, but the very fact that they are allowed to have this.

i just. head in my hands, clawing my face off, etc, the sickness has claimed me again and it is not letting me go

is this the Blight? it's got to be the Blight

Was it just disbandment day or Something?

Yesterday, Both Loosemble and Fromis_9 stated they are ending their contacts with their respective agencies.

Fromis I was generally not surprised by. Pledis has not been treating them well these last few years and I had a feeling the ladies would have enough.

Loosemble was more surprising. Apparently one of the members said to not be surprised by an upcoming announcement. I wonder where they will go from here? Maybe to MODHAUS to join ARTMS

Either way I wish both Groups to be happy and successful in all future endeavors, either in or out of the industry.

Before reading the comics, thanks to sladixk fics, i genuinely thought that dick always lost to slade, now I know that most times when he's and adult he beats slade no problem but it got me wondering how you feel about this canon-fanon difference

OHH this is a good question!!

i think sometimes fanon makes Slade a little... too badass. i think something some fanon fans don't understand about Slade in the 80s/90s is that he was like... kind of a loser? like don't get me wrong he was a main villain of the Titans for a while and he was certainly meant to be a formidable villain but this reputation he has in fanon almost supersedes him. (for example with specific plots: the fandom interpretation of the Judas Contract is Slade as the mastermind, but the writers have said that Terra was supposed to be the big villain manipulating everything. which is a ridiculous thing to put on a teenage girl getting groomed but, it does depict the intention of who was supposed to be "at fault" in that story) and don't get me wrong, i definitely love playing up the reputation and aura Slade has, but he really is a general contract killer on the level of like, Deadshot. personally, i wouldn't even put him on Lady Shiva's level, i think she far outranks him.

and to be fair to some fanon, recent comics have... tried to badass-ify Slade. some of his more recent Deathstroke runs are really trying to put him as this guy with legions of men underneath him who's this *deadly* killer who can take on Batman and Superman and all the like. and i just find that... boring? like, do i enjoy him being a smarter-than-average villain with a lot of connections? yes. but i don't think anything in his backstory really lends him to being as formidable as he appears in some fanfiction that puts him on this untouchable level. i would personally go as far to say i think *most* of the Batfamily could beat him in a fight under the right circumstances. bc Slade really is just Some Guy who got a serum from the military and went AWOL. (there's certainly more to his backstory than that, but at a glance, he's really not a trained fighter from birth like other characters are) and whilst i do enjoy Slade being formidable i have to admit, it was sort of fun when he was a loser? and i've gotten a kick out of certain comics that point out he's only a terrifying villain when he's up against teenagers. (Ghost-Maker calling him out on that is one of the funniest things, to me) like could Slade give Batman a serious fight? sure, but i don't see him ever winning unless you *really* nerf Bruce. and i really don't see him ever winning against most of the Batkids once they've got some years under their belt. Slade's scare factor was always tapered by who he was against, and he was a *Teen Titans* villain. so he's a little ridiculous and sometimes just sort of a weird loser. and i say that affectionately.

furthermore, on the flipside, i think... sometimes, we woobify Dick a bit too much to my tastes. or, really any Robin who gets shipped with Slade but of course Dick is the standout in popularity and i find it's more prominent with him. it's really a general slash problem, in which one man must be the Strong Top and then other must be the Weak Bottom. and that manifests in Slade being physically larger than Dick (which in canon, ehhh i think the size difference would be largely negligible) and him being able to beat Dick. bc it makes for more fanfic scenarios where you can put Dick at Slade's mercy for porn, for angst, for whatever you'd like. Slade is a good pick if you want to really put Dick on the weaker side, bc you can play with healing factors and strength enhancements. so on a physical level, Slade will be stronger than Dick. does that mean Slade can beat Dick in a fight? historically, no. i mean, Slade trusted Dick to train his own daughter in the Renegade storyline, so i think this is a fact even Slade is aware of.

i don't think it's a bad thing fanfiction likes its big top/small bottom tropes. if you want to make Dick a submissive, pliant bottom who is going to lose in a fight to Slade for your dead dove porn, get it. i've probably written or will write the same. it's appealing and it's a very common trope for Dick. but it becoming the fandom norm does sort of nerf Dick, occasionally. i think some fans don't fully comprehend the actual level Dick is on, where he's very close to being an equal to Bruce, if not already Bruce's equal. in fandom Dick is sort of trapped in this "post-adolescence but not full adulthood" state that does not acknowledge he has been an adult running superhero teams for years. he was filling in for Bruce in the Batman mantle all the way back in the 90s. he can defeat villains like Slade, and usually without a lot of difficulty. to me the only time you can realistically make Dick lose and it be "in character" is either 1, to have Dick *very* early on in his Robin years (i think if he's past 16, he can beat Slade) or 2, very deeply wound Dick/have him in a psychologically altered state via drugs or something. otherwise yeah, i think Dick wins 99% of the time.

but fanfiction is fanfiction, and it doesn't *have* to be canon. esp if Dick losing to Slade is just a sexy prerequisite to porn. do i wish more fanon explored Slade as kind of a loser? absolutely. do i think Slade is *too* cool in most fanon? also absolutely. but those are my tastes and i don't begrudge anyone who just wants a strong, mean man to whump the shit out of their blorbos, which usually, is the purpose of Slade. i find most fanfic with Slade tends not to be exploring Slade's character. they're simply using him as an easy stand-in for a metahuman who's morally grey and very mean but has a nuanced history with Dick, or whoever else. which, very valid. not all fanfic needs to be a character study, but i do think it'd be cool to see more Slade-centric fics that *do* want to be character studies.

they should’ve just kept her in the company basement forever

[declanisms]

I love my girl kokomi and I just hate it so so much when ppl label her as annoying bc I know I would be so much worse in her position. like this girl is so nice to people and actively strives to be kind when she doesn’t have to be. bc her life is fucking tragic okay!! it is so fucking horrible!! she is living an existence where random men all over the place are lusting after her. many of them with complete awareness of the fact that she’s a minor. even her own brother is a fucking creep about her. and no one does anything to stop this. and it’s so much worse bc she is so so self aware of her impact. she knows she’s beautiful and she knows that men want her because of this. she is a child. she shouldn’t have to face these things. and yet is she is forced to by factors outside of her control. like she is entitled to being mean and annoying. and yet she chooses kindness. like yes she acts the part of the kind beautiful girl as a coping mechanism bc maybe if she makes herself believe that she is the perfect girl then it will all make sense as to why people treat her like this and everyone acts like it’s okay. but it is still a choice. bc she could just as well be mean and the men would still lust after her. bc they’re not really looking at her personality. like yeah me personally I think she should be allowed to kill a few men nevermind being mean and annoying sorry not sorry
