Hold up I love that stitch one smā€” andandand I had a thought. Just Sebek and Stitch fighting in ramshackle or smth idk why and you leave because they're very loud and agh. But eventually they get tired out from yelling sm and Sebek kinda just. Passes out. Like have you seen that video of a kitten aggressively falling asleep. That's basically what I'm thinking. He spent all his energy,, and Stitch finds it really funny that he just passed out and like Stitch is really tired too but before Stitch passes out he draws something on Sebeks face idk I don't have creativity I just have visions and try to get there anyways when you get back you find them both passed out on the couch and sharing a blanket because ramshackle doesn't have proper heating and blankets are very comfy. I have a soft spot for Sebek okay- esp when he's just like an angry kitten (https://youtu.be/fggcWOKxs5Q?si=ohuL6m4L_6cD63YR kitten falls asleep violently if u haven't seen it LMAO)
Am I at all coherent- my brain just told me that they fought so hard they passed out one time I came up with all this on the spot-
Again that fic was SO fun to read. I particularly loved deuces one and grims one :)
- šŸŖØ
omg that's so cute!!! sebek definitely gives angry kitten vibes lmaoo. i can totally imagine stitch drawing like an angry crocodile face in green marker on his facešŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
but then they're snuggling up close in the same blanket sldgkahsla that's so cute someone needs to draw that omg
šŸŖØ anon you're so big brain i love itšŸ’•šŸ’•šŸ’•

(mixed unit au with tsukasa, rui, ena, and mizuki
this was supposed to be a part of another post but it got too long. it was on the subject of tsukasa being good at a surprising amount of things-
[near piano]
tsukasa: yes, i can play piano! my mom's a piano teacher. i would say i'm quite decent
mizuki: oh? hmm...huehuehue...how about you play the hardest song you know? >:] you are my amazing upperclassman after all
tsukasa: hm? a challenge? well i can't back down! >:] anything for my underclassmen
tsukasa: [pulls out the 3rd movement from moonlight sonata]
mizuki/ena/rui: šŸ˜²šŸ˜§šŸ˜³!
tsukasa after finishing, looking unsatisfied: i messed up a few notes :/ im so sorry to second favorite underclassmen! [hand on chin] i'm a bit rusty. usually i have time to warm up....
ena: MESSED UP WHERE?
rui: in [whatever section tsukasa actually messed up in]. i will say though, even with mistakes, your performance was very impressive tenma-kun
mizuki: yeah, i didn't know you'd pull that out! though i guess I shouldn't be surprised...you're good at a lot of other things, hahaha. i didn't even hear those mistakes. [sees his frowning face] don't feel too bad about it!
tsukasa: a few mistakes are still mistakes! [sigh] i'm not setting a very good example for my underclassmen.... i'm sorry for letting you down akiyama...hm...to make up for it, i will buy you lunch!
mizuki: eh- oh, thank you tsukasa-senpai :}

The Freedom of Expression Ep 52 - Kami's avatar plan & Momotaro Dentetsu!? The aim behind the huge spread of conspiracy theories, and related Youtube videos.
K: Hi, this is Dir en grey's Kaoru with this week's episode of The Freedom of Expression.Ā  Joe san, Tasai san, welcome.
K: (To Tasai) You're wearing that.
T: I really like this, I wear it to all sorts of places.
K: Really?
T: Yes. Girls tell me I'm cool when I wear it, it made me feel kinda cocky. Haha
J: You should be!
K: When I saw this (on Tasai) I didn't realise what it was, I didn't remember it. Haha, like was this really ours?
T: When I first heard about this, I heard that Kaoru had made it with great detail, haha.
K: Well, speaking of Dir en grey, we've decided to release a new single.
*applause*
K: At this point it will be in Spring.
J: I see. I can't wait for it.
K: The song will be called 'Oboro'
J: How are you progressing with it?
K: Uh, at the moment we are just starting the mixing..we are at the start of February now.
J: So, like, you can see the finish line already?
K: Hm, well....yeh. We've all finished our parts.
J: Ah, I see. The members' performances are all over.
T: Uh, at the end of year announcement, the talk about the avatars, with Kaoru playing really high up, haha.
Kami: Um...um, are you gonna make a music video for it?
K: Eh?
Kami: You will make a music video, right?
J: Oh, a music video?
Kami: Yeah. Will you make it as an avatar video?
K: Well..we havn't really thought about it yet.
Kami: I am really interested in that, I really liked that idea.
J, T: Ehhh.
K: Thank you.
Kami: I kinda want you to make another one.
K: Oh, for the new song too?
Kami: Yeah, I really want you to make one for the new song.
T: Ah, but you said you havn't thought about that this time?
K: Not at this point, no.
Kami: Why don't you let me do it?
J: Haha
K: Eh? Let Kami make it?
J: Kami, do you have any talent for that type of thing?
Kami: Well, I mean, I reckon I could do it.
T: He reckons he could?
Kami: In my own godly way...I'd like to have a go.
J, T: Ohhh.
Kami: Thats right.
K: Will it work?
T: Haha
J: Yeh, because don't they usually do this type of thing in the workshop?
K: This is a brand new development, right?
T: Yeh, Im pretty surprised too.
Kami: I understand that, but I do think it would be good...like to have it reviewed in the workshop.
T: Ahh, like he wants to raise his reputation.
J: Yeh, but its quite ???*1. Kami, do you have confidence?
Kami:Yes, I do.
J, T: Ohh.
T: He's amazing.
J: Kaoru, he said he's confident?
Kami: Um, it might turn out kinda fun style though.
T: Fun style?
K: Fun style...we don't really have that image though.
J: Right.
K: Well...I'll have to ask the other members.
T, J: Yeh.
Kami: Kaoru, you are the leader, so there's no need to do that.
K: No no no. Its precisely because Im the leader that I have to ask.
J: Haha, yeh, just telling them out of the blue that the god from your own youtube channel will be making an avatar video..they would say thats not a leader!
Kami: No, but say something skillful.
K: Well, I'll just ask them.
T: I'm sorry to say this Kaoru, but I kinda wanna see this happen.
J: Really?!
Kami: A video produced by Kami..what do you think, Joe?
J: Well, it could be scary...
T: Haha.
J: Its not really about something incredible happening, its more like what is gonna come out of the limits of this god.
K: I personally don't have any problem with it, but as for Dir en grey, thats a group decision.
J: Well, yes.
K: It depends on that.
J: So, we'll hand the issue over to you for now to get the other members' approval.
K: Yeh.
Kami: Im being quite brave here, but I also have another request. I've had another idea.
J: You are being brash, aren't you?!
T: He is asking a lot today.
Kami: I thought it might liven up the show a bit.
J: Ahh, ok, go ahead...
Kami: Should we all play Momotaro Dentetsu together?
J, K, T: Momotetsu??
T: Ah, thats a good idea, I'm all for that!
Kami: Lets do it.
T: I really like Momotetsu..
K: Everyone's playing it recently, aren't they?
T: Yeah, its really popular at the moment.
J: I'm sorry, I reacted when he said the name..but I actually don't know what Momotetsu is...
T: Well, its a board game..
K: A board game style video game.
J: Oh right. What is 'tetsu'...like trains?
K: Yes.
T: Do you know Monopoly?
J: Yes, I know that.
T: Its like a train version of Monopoly.
J: Ahh, ok. Well, lets do it! Thats ok. How would we do it?
K: Well, we can think about that later.
J: Yes, ok..but that means its a posibility?
K: Will Kami play too?
Kami: Oh, yes! Thank you!
J: He sounds so happy, haha.
T: Kami, how will you join in with the game?
Kami:.....Yeh, how will I?
J: Yes, you tell us.
Kami:....how would I? I'd have to get some one to do it for me.
K, T: Haha
J: Like a representative of Kami?
Kami: Yeah.
T: Another person that we've never met will come, right? haha. Kami won't have met them, it will be a total stranger.
J: Dubious, right?
K: Ahh, but I havn't played Momotetsu in ages.
T: Ah, in the newest version you get stronger privileges, and its like you can make deliveries freely*2
J: So we are looking towards actually doing this, for now.
K: Well, yeah, its ok. We've got the start of two new plans.
J: Yep, one is a Kami produced avatar video for the new single.
K: Its not really 'produced by' though, more like 'made by'.
T: Making it on his own
J: Yeah, he's making it on his own for us.
K: Its more reassuring that way.
J: Haha, like, not in a collaboration?
K: I approve it of that.
Kami: Im making it on my own, but I don't have any money, so I want to get the money for it from you.
K: No, I can't do that.
J, T: Hahaha
J: He said he wanted to do it himself. He asked you if he could do it! If you want to do it yourself, you have to deal with the cost yourself.
K: This show has zero production cost anyway.
J: Haha, is that right? Thats tough.
T: We finally got a decent mic stand.
K: Yeah, but its kinda been reformed.
J: The mic stand fell over before didn't it?Ā 
K: ???*3
Kami: I don't have any money!
K: Well, it doesn't have to be that high quality.
J: Yeah.
K: He doesn't need a camera though.
J: No. So there are two conditions as for making an avatar vid: one is that Kaoru has to get the permission from the other members, and the other is that Kami has to cover the production costs himself.
*On screen note: Permission was gained from all members in the following days*)
T: Yeah. ????*4, like to show he's made it all himself.
K: Yeh, because if we paid for it, we'd have to approve the whole thing.
J: Oh, yeh, like an official check?
K: Yeah.
J: That would be a bit different. What do you think Kami?
Kami: If I make it, can I sell it?
T: Haha, 'If I make it can I sell it'??
K: No, you cannot. That is that is the biggest rule.
Kami: Oh, please let me sell it!!!
K: That totally depends on how good it is.
J: Right, you might allow it if it was outstanding.
T: Haha
K: Ok, Joe, lets look at today's topic.
J: Yes, 'A monthly income of Ā„1million. Chaging tune during game commentary. What is the aim of the massive spread of conspiracy theories, and related Youtube videos?' Well, there is a lot of news surrounding the American Presidential election last year, but a huge amount of conspiracy theories and fake information is spreading even amongst Trump supporters in Japan. Within this are big ones like, 'Trump will unleash martial law, and mass arrests of traitors will begin', 'Nancy Pelosi has been arrested', etc etc. There are even theories that are circulating only in Japan, and which are spreading through Youtube videos and round up sites. Within those, there is one user who brings up such material in the middle of game commentary videos, and can make up to Ā„1million per month. The posibility that they are doing it for the advertising revenue cannot be denied. Well, its like, is it ok to spread lies in return for money?... this news questions the 'freedom of expression'.
K: Well, conspiracy theories have been around for ages, havn't they?
J: They always have, yes.
K: But since covid started...there have been...like, a load of theories coming up about it, right?
J: Yeah.
K: I kinda get the sense that a lot of conspiracyĀ  theories about covid have grown to be seen as almost the truth.
T, J: I see.
K: You don't even know whats a conspiracy theory or whats real news now.
J: Well, yeah. In relation to covid, I also don't know what is actually correct. In some sense, there are certain voices that are louder than others, and if you mix in these conspiracy theories, you get this kind of....well, like with these protests in relation to the American election, or even without that, these theories do spread.
K: You kind of watch them in a funny sense to start, but then it feels like they gradually loose power.
J, T: Yeh.
K: There are people who will end up believing them though.
Kami: Um, that game commentator who is talking about conspiracy theories in order to make a profit, I don't like that. I want him to try harder, like, don't be influenced by money.
T: No no no. Kami has been talking about money a lot, haha
J: Yeh, like, 'Can I sell it?' He's only telling other people not to be influenced by money.
Kami: Yeah, gods are influenced by money...gods are. I kinda understand how this guy feels. I can't help it.
J: You can't help it?
Kami: Yep.
J: You can't help it for money?
Kami: Yeah, I take it back, its ok to be influenced by money.
J, K, T: Hahaha
J: Kami, you're weak!
T: That was a quick turnaround.
J: I was pretty shocked that this guy can make Ā„1million per month though.
K: Well, if his view count grows...
J: Yeah.Ā 
K: Those numbers would be impossible for this show.
J: Haha, yeah, everyone please help us out with that. Even if we aimed to make Ā„1million, conspiracy theories take up a lot of time, right?
T: Yeh, but how about we feature some conspiracy theories?
J: If we will get like this guy, right?
Kami: Ah, lets go with some conspiracy theories!
J, T: Haha
K: There are probably people out there really putting thought into making new conspiracy theories, aren't there?
J, T: Yeah.
K: It sounds pretty difficult. Like, what type of conspiracies would fly?
J, T: Right.
J: ???*5
K: Like Kami's?
J: Kami's conspiracy theories, haha. But it is difficult. Hm, eventually we'll have a 'Freedom of Expression conspiracy theories edition'.
T: Well, lets do more of this kind of stuff.
J: Tokyo Sports loves this kind of thing, doesn't it?
T: Yeah.
J: Do your sales go up when you feature this stuff?
T: Well, not really with conspiracy theories, but we sell at lot when we write about UFOs and stuff. People are really curious about things that are 'unknown'. They really are.
J: Hm.
K: Ok, on that note, lets finish here. Thank you very much.
*1,3,4,5 Couldn't catch/figure out
*2 I've never played Momotetsu so Im not sure if im understanding the explanation right.Ā

thought Spain vs Germany was a fair bit more entertaining than eng-can but i guess itā€™s worth watching the replay if you get the time šŸ˜…
my summary of the game (just personal opinion): Buchanan is an absolute BEAST of a defender šŸ”„, Bev Priestman is a good manager and Walsh and Hempo are class šŸ’«
as for our arsenal girlies: Leah was fine imo but not really as good as people are hyping her up to be. she looked better than with chelsea but still obvious sheā€™s not yet back in form imo (she does have potential in that mf role for england tho šŸ‘€). Beth and Keets were the same beth and keets weā€™ve seen the last few weeks for arsenal i think, tho i didnā€™t really get to watch them for more than 10 min before i fell asleep šŸ˜‚ so actually really interested to see what u think of their performance
Oooh lovely summary, I love reading stuff like this! (esp when I haven't watched yet so I can picture it in my mind)
Yes absolutely, saw some snippets and Buchanan was literally blocking everything lmao šŸ˜‚ although not surprising at all, she's been class for ages with Lyon so... (somebody pry her away from there) Also saw quite a few people say Fleming had a good game, or second half at least, happy for her since she's one of the faves heh.
Interesting, maybe Sarina has long-term plans to use her at MF since their depth there isn't the greatest to begin with. Oh, Keets was apparently pretty decent in the time she came on, I'm kinda looking forward to checking that out when I watch it later. You fell asleep halfway tho? That doesn't bode well for my excitement about the match hahaha

Vetting potential sugar daddies? You need to tell me more about that šŸ‘€ And you're going glutenfree !! That's actually much more difficult than, really, it should be--i'm speaking from experience </3
Tbz and sf9 are amazing, i'm wholeheartedly supporting you getting sucked into the bottomless abyss that is their charms :)) and i don't think me praying for you will be able to change that. Any (potential) biases yet?? šŸ‘€
And i'm doing good! Although it still feels as if 2022 has just started yesterday, so i don't really have any feelings about it yet lmao. Let's see how this year will turn out, i'm in good spirits, however āœØ
-šŸ’
hahaha, it's honestly just kinda like chatting people up on tinder, except i'm slightly more motivated to entertain actually talking to complete strangers šŸ˜‚ i made a profile on one of the more ""reputable"" sites, ignored a lot of the messages i've gotten, but i've had a couple guys i'm talking to on-and-off. it's entertaining in the way that tinder or any other kind of online dating isā€”skimming through what people decide to put in their profiles is always entertaining, and maybe
going gluten free actually isn't as rough as i would've imagined it would be a couple years ago?? but i've also realized that i could just. live on rice and eggs, so that helps a lot šŸ˜… plus, i've heard the lettuce wraps at In-n-Out are actually decent, so that'll be nice when the drive-thru line isn't two miles long. i do miss the hell out of bread, tho šŸ˜”
re: The Boyz, i'm still getting to know all of them, but Sunwoo caught the hell out of my attention during Kingdom and is definitely in the lead (see: car wash porn parody promo, Rich Brian cover, getting jealous on vlive, his taste in fucking anime ohmygod i wanna sit this boy down and make him mainline so much anime with me and the fact that i can't actuallly makes me a lil mad forreals) ((he might be my lockscreen rn, but shhhhhhhh, don't tell Eunkwang))
Sangyeon was the other one who caught my eye during kingdom and i'm still pretty šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« over him; the vocal parts that make me perk up when they're on always seem to be his, and seeing him complain about his dumbfuck children during mafia was sooooooo good for meā€”i have a soft spot for tired leaders and it's serving him very well. i'm also growing distinctly fond of Kevin and Jacob, as well, and Q seems like a delightfully evil little genius.
as for SF9: i've been dipping into their music more than anything that shows off their personality, so we're still hovering around the main four that caught my eye during Kingdom.
Taeyang ā€” this shouldn't be a surprise, if he's not the one that regularly drags people into this fandom the way Kim 'i just wanted to know who the one with blue hair was!!' Taehyung and Lee 'when did this kid hit puberty??' Felix do, i will put ketchup on my slipper and eat it. seeing his outfit for that one Teardrop stage was what dragged me back into this hell, actually, so šŸ„²
Hwiyoung ā€” i thought he was pretty generically handsome and stiff at the start of the rap unit collab, but seeing him try to loosen up and have fun was really endearing. and then their kcon performance came and kicked me in the fucking chestā€”i'm sorry, shirt with more buttons undone than done, hair in a messy bun, that totally relaxed, loose-limbed vibe??? stick a fork in me, i'm fuckin done
Inseong ā€” i noticed him from the very start of Kingdom, he had such a playful, impish vibe the whole time; it was the vocal unit collab that fucking got me, tho, you can't make a boy cry on this show and expect me to not want to take him šŸ˜”
Jaeyoon ā€” i don't even know what it is about him, because looks-wise, he's not the type i'm usually into? and i usually have to have some prior investment before things like a firm b-cup get to me honestly. i think it was the vocal unit collab, actually, he and Inseong both were so tall and so handsomely awkward when the iKon boys showed up, it was truly delightful. plus, despite the tragic ending, i did really enjoy that particular stage.
aside from them, the only ones i can even match a name to a face with are Zuho (will i ever stop being unhornily mad about the line "I'm the male version of Venus"? probably not) and Chani (babbyyyyyyy šŸ„ŗ).
i'm so glad you're doing well!! honestly, 2022 still feels like an extension of 2021, in the same way last year just felt like an extension of 2020, but we'll see how long that lasts. regardless of how it turns out, we have each other<3

ā˜ļø Anniversary Weekend ā˜ļø
Took me a week to share this bec it was a really busy work week (lol but when was it ever not??)
--------
I literally started the day feeling tampo bec that's the kind of person I am šŸ˜­ jk so I rushed all my workload the day before, like I sat in front of my laptop and worked my ass off for around XX hours straight just so I can go to his place earlier than usual in the morning only for him to tell me na 'wag munang pumunta nang maaga and na magpahinga muna like?? I was so confused why (it felt like) he's not excited to see me on our Anniversary. I was kinda mad so I did what he told me, I just slept until noon. I even thought about not going there anymore haha.
šŸ² Fast forward, I still went to his place of course bec how can I ever resist this guy? We did the usual lambingan like we always do lol. The kilig when he told me he cooked sinigang (my favorite!!!) and we ate lunch together. As an only daughter of two Kapampangans, pasok sa god-tier sinigang standards ko 'yung luto n'ya haha.
šŸŒ» After our lunch, he went to the balcony for few seconds and I wondered what he was doing there. 'Nung pumasok s'ya ulit, I was shocked and kilig (and kilig again!!!) when I saw him holding a bouquet of sunflowers like my heart literally skipped a beat kasi I have zero expectation na he will surprise me with flowers (kahit lagi naman n'ya talaga akong binibigyan no'n lol).
Side story: sunflower is my favorite and it was actually one of the reasons why I said yes to him (after half a year) 'nung nililigawan n'ya pa lang ako.
Sub-side story: feeling maganda ako sa part na I let him wait six months for my answer when he asked me to be his girlfriend hahahahaha. No assurance, no commitment, nothing. We just did things together that made us happy during those six months. He was sooo patient (and loyal kahit walang label lol) to me. Kaya hindi ko rin ma-gets why I doubt his loyalty ngayong we're in a longterm relationship na, eh nanliligaw pa nga lang s'ya, sobrang loyal na n'ya hahahahah.
Another side story: the reason why ayaw n'ya akong papuntahin nang maaga sa condo is dahil nasa Dangwa s'ya nung morning buying flowers huhu. I felt guilty because I sent cold replies pa sakanya kasi I thought ayaw n'ya ako makita. :((
Tumblr media
šŸ«šŸŽ‚šŸŗ I was still in cloud 9 with the flower surprise when he opened the ref para ipakita sa'kin yung cake, chocolates (na s'ya rin kumain nung half hahaha) anddddd my favorite beer like omg??? this guy really knows me too damn well. Funny part is earlier 'nung sinabi n'ya sa'king nag-grocery s'ya before namin magkita, biniro ko pa s'ya bakit hindi n'ya ako binilhan ng beer and he just replied "luh" hahahah.
šŸ’’šŸ½ At around 4PM, we went to Las Casas na. An hour late from our reservation so half-panic na kami. Luckily, they weren't that strict with reservation schedule. The place was really good, somewhere na we'd go back to in the future. After the nakakapagod na pag-iikot (and picture-taking haha), we opted to dine outside kasi mas gusto ko 'yung vibe. It was a decent candlelit dinner and it felt really good to date the love of my life under the skies kahit walang stars that night hay haha. A violinist also performed live and it made the place feel more romantic and I swear I'd really kiss him right there if there weren't like a hundred people around us HAHAHAH.
Side story #3: original anniversary plan was a 4D3N vacay in Bora but alert level 3 happened so we had to reschedule. I suggested a simple date in his condo as an alt, we can cook dinner and I'll just bring scented candles to make it intimate and somehow special. I'm so glad he made efforts to find a better place where we can celebrate. And it had scented candles too. šŸ¤
Tumblr media
šŸŽ® We stayed for roughly an hour sa lobby ng condo to do our usual mobile game duo thing. Since I was so shy na wala man lang akong anything for him, I just FT-d him pambili ng ML skins šŸ˜­ I hate myself for that pero we agreed kasi initially na we won't buy gifts or anything for each other, silly of me to actually believe na he won't surprise me with anything na para bang hindi ko alam how his mind works :(( Anyway, he got an epic, special and few other ML skins naman so pwede na rin HAHAHAHA. Nakakatawa pa kasi 'yung epic and special skin na nakuha n'ya, ako 'yung may main sa mga heroes na 'yun hahaha. He got the epic Mecha Baby Nana skin and Angela's Summer Vibes. Sabi ko nga, mag-free tutorial ako for him lol charity ko na as a Pasig number XX Nana, charot sa Barangay ko lang kaya mag-top HAHAHA *sorry ito lang aq intensifies*. And mas malakas s'ya sa'kin, s'ya yung nagt-top talaga sa Pasig HAHAHAHA CHZ KATURN-ON, FVCK HAHA JK. Anyway we played MCL, 'di kami nagu-usap gaano after the game kasi sobrang badtrip kami sa isang ka-team na nag-throw ng laro hahahahaha sayang 'yung tickets namin ugh kaya understandable naman 'yung shift sa mood.
šŸ’¤ We went back to the unit na and... syempre skip ko na itong part na ito šŸ˜› Kasi natulog lang naman kami šŸ˜
šŸ• We took home the tirang pizza from last night and that's what we had for breakfast. Half pa nung 12-inch na in-order namin haha sobrang sulit. Hindi namin na-enjoy nung una kasi it's quite salty then nung ininit na the next morning, it tasted 99% better haha *chef's kiss: painit edition*
Tumblr media
šŸŗ I took the lazy Sunday opportunity to drink 2 bots of beer (by myself because bb is not drinking alcohol) pero he drank juice naman so basically he still "drank with me" šŸ™„šŸ¤£ I was drinking beside the balcony and the huuuge Jollibee sign was like literally next to my face so I told him I was craving chickenjoy pero he just shushed me huhu. We sang along OPM songs for hours until we unconsciously fell asleep together.
šŸ’¤ I vaguely remember this but while I was sleeping, he whispered (with a really soft and low voice) na he's going out to buy us dinner. I really wanted to come with him but I was too sleepy to get up.
šŸ— When I woke up, I saw him setting up the table for our dinner and I asked myself what have I done to deserve this man. šŸ„ŗ And it actually doubled the kilig when I saw the jollibee paperbag looool he really bought me the chickenjoy I was craving earlier šŸ˜­
Last side story: Jollibee is really special to us. It was the first meal he bought me when we first met. Around 4 years ago, 2018 to be exact, nagd-dorm ako near UE and s'ya naman, nags-stay sa condo near Welcome Rotonda. We were just a jeep away from each other so when I told him I don't want to eat dinner kasi tinatamad ako, he literally went to my dorm at 1AM with a Jollibee supermeal šŸ˜­ I was sooo shy that time and even told him I'm gonna pay for the meal and delivery hahahahaha šŸ˜­ Umambon pa nung pauwi s'ya so medyo nakakahiya talaga (and nakakakilig 'yung efforts n'ya hehe) given na he doesn't even know me personally yet that time.
Note: since any detail of this weekend can't go unnoticed, I really appreciate him for washing the dishes hehe (I kinda hate doing it tbh) pero as someone who only knows how to bake and hindi marunong magluto ng ulam (despite having parents who both cook so damn well šŸ‘Œ), my role on our condo weekends is to wash the dishes while he cooks. Idk, I felt like he really wanted to make the day special for me so he tripled his effort even on smallest things. šŸ„ŗ My best boy, indeed.
--------
ā¤ In those two days, the stories we shared to each other, the laughter, every lyric of all the songs we sang together. The back hugs, the number of times he touched my hair and my hand. Every little thing we did for, to and with each other... they all felt perfect. They are perfect.
The happiest anniversary so far because it just gets better every year. šŸ¤

Ooh, thank you for the ask! It's gonna get heavy though, because that first one is a Very loaded question, whew. ;; I'm actually gonna put this under a cut.
01: Do you have a good relationship with your parents?
Hahaha ha haaaa.... about that. It depends entirely on which parent.
I was raised in a split-custody situation, and grew up mainly living with my father and stepmother (often called "stepmonster"). I only got to see my mother every other weekend, on certain holidays, and for a few weeks in the summer. I wish I could've seen her more, but now we go to lunch/dinner at least once a month and we'll just talk for hours.
My stepmother.... well, I'm in a decent mood and don't want to ruin it by going into Deep Details, but she was viciously and relentlessly emotionally abusive from the day we started living together, and the older I got and the more I started realizing that she was hurting me, the more I started asking her to stop and tell her she was hurting me, the worse she treated me. It wasn't always, but it became physical often enough that I'd flinch when she raised her hands. So needless to say, I don't have any warm, fuzzy feelings towards her.
I acknowledge that she "tried to be a good parent" (or at least, I acknowledge that she SAYS that's what she wanted), but she has never once apologized for hurting or screaming at me. She has never once taken steps to stop it. No matter how many times I asked her to stop, or take a moment and breathe, or think about how what she's saying is making me feel. Hell, she VERY recently told me "I don't have any regrets" (about how she raised us). And even when I pressed, hesitantly, tentatively, "Nothing? Not one thing?" and she said "Nope." I just. What. How do you claim to love someone and then say you don't regret screaming at them, calling them names, pinning them in corners, smacking them, making them cry on a weekly basis?
So, honestly, fuck her with a saguaro cactus.
My father is... really complicated. We were very close when I was little, but he was always away working and we were lucky if we got to give him a hug before bedtime, so we rarely got to Actually Do Bonding Things. I tried going to him about the way stepmonster was hurting me three times, and each time he yelled at me for being ungrateful and selfish and whatever else he could come up with to make it my fault I was being abused. Yeah.
And just... The older I've gotten, the more I've realized that his actions are a result of his choices. He has a temper that is frankly terrifying, he has roared at me to "shut the hell up" more than once, when I was very little he grabbed me by the arm and dragged me out of bed, trying to force me to stand when I was crying because I had a vasogaval syncope episode (read: I was about to pass out and told them I couldn't stand up to get ready for school), and he makes little-to-no attempt to control it. The older I get, the less I can tolerate the things he does, or did.
It would be different if he apologized, or acknowledged that he hurt me, or frankly even ever listened to me when I went to the parent that prided himself on being my ~protector~ and did a single damn thing to ACT on it, but he refused to even acknowledge that I was hurting. But he never has tried even talking to me about these things, and frankly I can't forgive someone who never apologizes. I miss when we were close, but now I don't have any desire to try rekindling that relationship, because whenever I try to address my pain or fears, he turns that anger on me and it's just not worth getting verbally abused.
My mother is the only parental figure I'm close to. She also had a temper when I was super little, but at least she would address it with us and try to talk it through, and she has gone to greater and greater lengths to control it and understand why we argue and communicate with me and mend the parts of us that were broken by those things. She has pointed me to resources and family history and therapy and she was the very first person who ever told me, at age fucking 19 (after having been diagnosed since I was SEVEN YEARS OLD) what ADHD actually MEANS and how it impacts my life and that it might be why I struggle so much with simple chores and memory.
Even though she's homophobic and transphobic, at least she's not cruel about it. I would hesitate to even call her judgemental, because she thinks it's "maladaptive", but doesn't think it makes someone a bad person. (Hell, stepmonster and father and at least two of my siblings know I'm nonbinary too, but they won't use the right pronouns or non-gendered language for me either.) She's also of the "monotheistic triumphalism" mindset in her Christianity and used to try very hard to convert me away from paganism until, ironically, I moved in with her for that year. So I can't really talk about those things with her.
But other than that, I can talk to her about ANYTHING. I can ask her questions on anything from a vulnerable personal place in my heart to a vulnerable place in my body to relationship advice, she has a great wealth of knowledge on health and financial things and resources provided by the state and county, she has also had to heal from parental abuse and has had a ton of therapy for depression and PTSD so she helps me with mine too, and she's a genuinely kind and witty person who cares about ME enough to address when something she said or did hurts me, and she genuinely tries to help and be a comforting presence.
Like, my bar for "good parenting" isn't very high honestly, but she really is a wonderful parent and I wish I'd had more of her influence in my life.
27: Have you ever broken someoneā€™s heart?
Not that I'm aware of. Not really, anyways. I've had at least 3 people over the age of 40 tell me "I think I'm falling in love with you" just because I talked to them, but like. I'm still in my 20's? Why even?? A lot of people have asked me for my number, and I've turned them down. (I'm taken, first of all. I don't want to be anybody's side-squeeze. And I'm frankly not interested in somebody who only wants my number because my butt is cute. Whatever.)
But the relationship I'm in now is the first serious one I've ever been in, and maybe it's because I'm demi, but I can't imagine anyone's heart being broken if they're not in a truly serious relationship.
40:Have you ever walked outside completely naked?
Oh man, this is a fun one! In chronological order:
- When I was about... 14? I performed my first Wiccan ritual "skyclad" in the backyard. (It's a full moon thing, so I figured I should be under the light of the full moon. And also nude because, you know. Wiccan.) There was a privacy fence, but it WAS outside, and I WAS naked.
- I didn't properly "walk" outside for this one, but I did once open the door to a pizza delivery guy, take the food, and pay completely naked. It was basically a dare. Easiest $100 I've ever made.
- I did once walk several blocks through downtown Canton with absolutely nothing on but a cloak. That one was because I heard the shopkeep saying "Anyone who comes in on a Sunday in their pajamas gets a surprise." And I'm deathly curious, okay. I wanted to know what this surprise was. But I utterly lack pajamas. So I asked her, "What if you sleep naked?" And she said "Then I dare you to come in naked!" So I came in one Sunday wrapped in a cloak, asked her if she remembered the conversation, and when she asked "Are you naked under there?" I essentially flashed her.
- I went to an outdoor nudist resort in Bath, Ohio. We didn't stay long though, maybe two hours tops, because it was almost autumn and the other two I was with were too chilly to enjoy it. I was fine though? It has to be like 50 degrees or cooler for me to be chilled. But because they were too cold to be nude, we left.
Nudity has never fazed me, and if it was socially acceptable, I'm walk around EVERYWHERE naked.

Scream Queens VH1 recap - Season 1 Episode 1
Hey whatā€™s up so because Iā€™m bored as hell Iā€™ve decided Iā€™m going to recap the short-lived reality series Scream Queens (not the horror series with Emma Roberts) because itā€™s absolute top notch reality TV trash. Yes you can still watch the whole thing on YouTube here but Iā€™ve decided to recap it for you in case youā€™d prefer to read about the trash and drama I guess lol
Anyway Scream Queens was a reality series on VH1 back in 2008-2010 where 10Ā ā€œup and comingā€ (generous) actresses would compete for aĀ ā€œbreakout roleā€ (also generous) in the next Saw film. Theyā€™d do dumb challenges that were vaguely related to acting and of course bitch about each other behind the scenes. Season 1 was judged by Shawnee Smith (post-Saw fame), James Gunn (pre-Guardians of the Galaxy fame), and John Homa (apparently a big-time acting coach??). Season 2 switched out Shawnee Smith for Jaime King and James Gunn for Tim Sullivan. No idea how the show got two seasons but I fucking love it and Iā€™ve watched it countless times over so letā€™s do a recap!
Tumblr media
Hereā€™s your key players, folks.
The first episode opens with all the girls walking in wearing their ~finest~ mid-2000ā€²s fashion and talking about how ā€œomg I should be the next scream queen cuz Iā€™m attractive / talentedā€ etc. Jo-Anne in particular (who is 26 btw) claims sheā€™sĀ ā€œgetting oldā€ and that sheā€™sĀ ā€œready for something to happenā€. lol okay girl. Theyā€™re introduced to the three judges and whoo boy, Shawnee may be a decent actress but she should not be a host; her droning nasally voice is torture.Ā Weā€™re introduced to a few more girls including Lindsay who was a child star, and had a Nickelodeon show called Caitlinā€™s Way, but has since lost her way to her anxiety, and itā€™s just like holy shit I relate to you so hard though. Thereā€™s also Lina who thinks sheā€™s top shit because she had one line in an Adam Sandler movie woohoo.
The judges introduce the first challenge and a pseudo-Jason Voorhees literally BUSTS THROUGH THE FUCKING WALL and sends the girls running and screaming, followed by laughing because omg what a funny prank haha. So basically the girls have to take turns begging this guy not to kill them, with the best performance getting aĀ ā€œguaranteed callbackā€ aka. immunity from elimination. Most of the girls do the typical screaming and/or crying schtick. Michelle literally claims sheā€™s pregnant and then screamsĀ ā€œKILL ME WHY DONTā€™CHAā€ which is a choice. Kylah tries to seduce him and the other girls are torn betweenĀ ā€œshe should be a porn starā€ andĀ ā€œholy shit Iā€™m arousedā€. Lina literally puts on a stereotypical Asian accent and FLOPS AROUND ON THE FLOOR SCREAMING like what the actual fuck. Jessica gets up and does theĀ ā€œyouā€™re not psycho Iā€™M PSYCHOā€ thing and the girls are (probably rightfully) scared of her.
But then Tanedra gets up and tells us she has ZERO acting experience and then proceeds to KILL. IT. Watch out for Tanedra cuz you know sheā€™s coming for that crown. Obviously she gets the guaranteed callback. Shawnee announces the girls are competing for a role in Saw 6 and they FLIP. THEIR. SHIT. While at the same time you can tell none of them actually like or care about the Saw series and just want to be famous, but whatever get those dollars I guess.
So they head into the house and start drinking champagne, getting to know each other etc. Of course they all end up in their bikinis in the hot tub and start talking about their training. Cue all of the girls COMPLETELY underestimating Tanedra (despite the fact that she already beat all their asses) when she tells them she has no experience.
The next day the girls go to their first class with John Homa. Right off the bat heā€™s like, ā€œWelcome to your first acting class, weā€™re gonna need it.ā€ Like, true but also, rude. He gets out a tray of fruit and tells each girl to take a piece and eat itĀ ā€œas seductively as possibleā€. Cue several girls giving blowjobs to bananas and the rest basically dry humping the floor while they eat this damn fruit. Homa sighs like his instructions were SO CLEAR even though there werenā€™t any. He explains how he actually wants them to be subtle and seductive rather than outright sexy/slutty and has the girls sit in a chair while eating their fruit and being all cute and seductive. Great. Then he changes it up so the girls have been poisoned halfway through eating. Everyone does pretty well except Jo-Anne who very clearly buckles under the pressure. Back at the house, Sarah straight up tells the others that the class made her horny.
The following day a surprise picnic appears in the house but when the lid is taken off one of the dishes, a bunch of snakes come out because omg what a funny prank haha. Thereā€™s a note telling them where to meet Shawnee where she tells them their firstĀ ā€œdirectorā€™s challengeā€ (main challenge) is an adaptation of the bath scene from James Gunnā€™s movie Slither, and guess what, they gotta be naked! Or very nearly naked, at least. All of the girls get working on their scripts and discussing whether theyā€™re going to go with nude underwear, pasties, or au naturale. Did you forget about Crazy Jessica? Well she has a FULL ON CRYING MELTDOWN about having to do a nude scene, complete with mocking the other girls just for talking about it. Like seriously this is day 2 and sheā€™s FREAKING OUT. Sarah specifically says in her talking head,Ā ā€œJessica is fucking psycho.ā€
They get to the directorā€™s challenge, Sarah goes first and does really well, so the other girls are intimidated from the start. Jo-Anne once again buckles under the pressure, itā€™s like her spark literally goes away as soon as the cameras start rolling, itā€™s honestly baffling to watch. Tanedra and Michelle also do really well, although Michelle gets criticised by some of the others for her over acting. Kylah literally sounds like sheā€™s in a cross between a pantomime and a musical and the other girls flat-out laugh at her behind the scenes. Finally itā€™s Jessicaā€™s turn, and little miss freak out is just like BA-DING HERE ARE MY TITTIES. Like seriously, after all that, she goes buck naked. WTF. Her performance is still meh though.
Back at the house, Michelle is confident she wonā€™t be on the list and that Kylah will be. Tanedra reads the list whichĀ ā€œsummonsā€ Michelle, Jo-Anne, Kylah, Sarah, and Jessica to theĀ ā€œgrand ballroomā€. Cue Michelleā€™s FULL BLOWN TANTRUM because she was SO SURE she wasnā€™t going to be on the list andĀ ā€œTHEYā€™RE GONNA THROW THIS FUCKING TALENT AWAY??ā€ You seriously can barely hear her dialogue in this part because there is so much swearing getting bleeped out. Aside from this everyone generally agrees that Kylah should go home because she has no acting talent (lol) and that thereā€™s no way Jo-Anne is going because they all love her.
The girls go to the grand ballroom and honestly if looks could kill, all three judges would be dead because Michelle is fucking letting them KNOW sheā€™s pissed hahaha. They pull Michelle and Sarah forward together and tell them they were the top 2 (so much for your tantrum Michelle) with Sarah getting leading lady (winning the main challenge). Jessica gets pulled forward on her own and basically just gets read for being crazy and told to calm down. Kylah and Jo-Anne are last and are the bottom 2; Jo-Anne basically for shutting down and Kylah for just being shit. In a controversial decision, however, Jo-Anne gets the axe while Kylah lives another week.
Stay tuned for Season 1 Episode 2!

Tumblr media
Chapter Six
~Months Later~
I canā€™t believe the tour has already kicked off! Especially it being a world tour, the poor boys are going to be so excited and yet exhausted.Ā 
ā€œYo bitch, whatcha doin this weekend?ā€ I text my best friend y/f/n
ā€œNothin, probs just going to the bar. Wassup?ā€ She repliedĀ 
ā€œGuess who scored us some tickets to a very specific concert that we couldnā€™t get tickets for?ā€ I send with a smirk
ā€œBiittchhhh you dddiiiddnnā€™tttttā€
ā€œBbbiiittcchhhh I dddiiidddā€Ā 
ā€œHow the hell did you get Got7 tickets when theyā€™re sold out...what organs did you sell?ā€ She questioned suddenlyĀ 
ā€œLetā€™s just say I met a trustworthy person who was selling them for cheapā€ I reply not wanting to ruin the surprise
ā€œFuck it, I donā€™t want to know, just tell me how much they are laterā€ she sends
ā€œNpā€Ā 
ā€œAlso we better take some cute ass pics when weā€™re there, but then again, when do we ever not take cute ass picsā€ I sendĀ 
ā€œBitch you best believe Iā€™ll look cute, donā€™t you worryā€Ā 
I put my phone away after scrolling through my social medias out of boredom. This weekend canā€™t come fast enough honestly. Just gotta make it through the work week at my other job. Yet again so many Karenā€™s coming in and doing what Karenā€™s do, men fully disregarding what Iā€™m saying because Iā€™m a young black woman; so on and so forth. The week was more busy than I thought because at a blink of an eye it was Saturday aka the day of the Got7 concert! I decided to get dressed at y/f/nā€™s place since it would be more convenient since she lives closer to the venue.
After getting dressed (and lookin fucking cute, but sexy at the same time) we head to the venue. I direct y/f/n that we should walk towards the ticketing booth in order to pick up the tickets. Luckily the tour and this venue had a common agreement on different ways you can have your tickets and luckily buying and picking up the physical ones at the booth was one option.Ā 
ā€œUgh I seriously need to find out who got you these tickets! They can be our concert ticket dealer hahahaā€ y/f/n says
ā€œA girl has her secretsā€ I give her a wink and keep walking.
We head towards the entrance of the venue and wait in line until doors open. As we do for past concerts, we start conversations with other fans in line. A basic convo of ā€œwhoā€™s your bias?ā€, ā€œwhat other groups do yā€™all stan?ā€, etc. Luckily it makes the time go by faster because before we knew it, doors opened and they started scanning tickets and letting everyone in. We found our seats and saw that some of the fans we made friends with in line were sitting right behind us. We continued our conversation about nothing specific really until I felt my phone vibrate. I looked down and see that Mark messaged me,Ā 
ā€œY/NNNNNNN!!!!ā€ Mark messaged
ā€œMAAARRRKKKK!!!ā€ I repliedĀ 
ā€œI see youā€
ā€œCan you please not be creepyā€
ā€œAwe but itā€™s fun! ANYWAYS I canā€™t believe youā€™re here I canā€™t wait to see you!ā€ he replied excitedlyĀ 
ā€œI canā€™t wait to see you either! First time Iā€™m getting to see you performing on stage. I seriously canā€™tā€ I quickly reply
ā€œOH RIGHT! I remember why I texted you, check under your chairā€ he messaged
ā€œYouā€™re making me nervous boyā€
ā€œFirst of all, Iā€™m a man. Second of all, stop being a wimp and look under your chairā€ he replies back with an eye rolling emoji.Ā 
I decide to give in and squeeze myself on the ground between my chair and the chair in front of me. I feel a little bit around until my hand takes hold of something. I pull it out and itā€™s an envelope so I open it because what harm is there in opening a mysterious envelope from Mark. When I opened it, I shut it just as quickly, I looked side to side to make sure no one saw, shoved it in my bag, and grabbed my phone.Ā 
ā€œMark Tuan imma kill youā€ I message adding a crying emoji
ā€œAm I your favorite member now?ā€ he said with a cute emoji
ā€œNope, still loyal, but Mark you really didnā€™t have to do this! VIP BACKSTAGE PASSESā€
ā€œHow could I not?! Youā€™re one of my friends that I cherish and itā€™s been so long. The fact that you thought that just attending the concert would be the end of it...Iā€™m hurtā€ he replies almost sounding a little too butthurt.Ā 
ā€œFine fine, but you know I love you right! I seriously canā€™t believe I can even call you a friend, let alone a close friend at that!ā€ I message excitedlyĀ 
ā€œI-love you too, youā€™re seriously someone I didnā€™t expect to show up in the circumstances they did. Thank goodness you did though, I was on the brink of murdering Yug because he was just calling me by my name. That child has no respectā€
ā€œMark, honey, youā€™re American, I wouldnā€™t have guessed you were so serious about that type of stuffā€ I retorted
ā€œWell Iā€™m used to the way things run so I just want to hit him sometimes, what an annoying bratā€ he sent. I ended up laughing and y/f/n looked at me curious as to what was so funny on my phone. I quickly hid it, but I already knew she knew something was up. Thatā€™s why I was grateful when she didnā€™t push further because she knows I always end up spilling the tea later.
ā€œThat makes sense anyways you see where I am right?ā€ I ask
ā€œYup, you look prettyā€ he comments as he always does
ā€œWhatever, you see the girl to the right of me?ā€Ā 
ā€œKinda, I canā€™t really see her face thoughā€
ā€œOh let me helpā€ I replied.Ā 
ā€œYo y/f/n letā€™s take a picā€ I get her attention. She turned around and agreed seeing that it wasnā€™t unusual for us to take pics together, especially at concerts.Ā 
ā€œOoo these are cuteā€ she comments then turns back around to keep talking to our new friends.Ā 
ā€œSee now, cute right?ā€ I text Mark
ā€œOh yeah~ sheā€™s cute I guess, what about her though?ā€ He replies
ā€œThatā€™s the friend I was telling you about and lucky for you she doesnā€™t have a solid bias in the group yetā€ I mention knowing that it would peek his interest.Ā 
ā€œOh she doesnā€™t now, well now Iā€™m even more excited to meet herā€ he comments, with easy excitement detected in his message.Ā 
ā€œWell thanks to you, we all get to meet each other!ā€ I message excitedlyĀ 
ā€œYouā€™re very welcome sweetheart, but I gtg my turn to get prettyā€ he sends
ā€œLol youā€™ve always been pretty, but see you later!ā€Ā 
ā€œLol byeā€ he texted lastly.Ā 
I spend the rest of the time before the concert trying to devise how Iā€™m going to keep surprising y/f/n until we reach the boys while still talking to our new friends. I decided that I would say I found these badges in one of the bathroom stalls after going in after a staff member and decided that it would be our ticket into the backstage. Perfect, not only is it a crazy idea, but the prize at the end (her reaction) will be the icing on the cake. I decided to text Mark about the plan and to also tell the manager so when we do get back there we donā€™t get in actual trouble. He saw my message and sent an emoji making sure I understood he got the message. This made the whole experience even better.Ā Ā 
The lights dimmer and we knew the show was starting. The whole place erupted in screams and chants of ā€œGot7ā€ echoing everywhere. The stage lit up and the boys walked out. I screamed and almost busted a lung at how good the boys looked up there. Mark looking exceptionally nice almost made me forget how much of an idiot he really is. It amazes me how humans can deceive each other so easily by just putting on an act.Ā 
The concert was beyond amazing! I almost forgot while in the middle of the concert how I actually know the boys and consider them my friends. My mind went back to just being a simple ahgase and it being just that. It wasnā€™t until Mark came to my side of the stage and did some weird thing that I recalled that I actually know this fool personally. Then Mark pointed me out to the other members so once they spotted me they made their rounds to come to my side of the stage and do something that made my whole side scream. One girl in front of me thought that the finger heart from Jackson was for her when it was really meant for me. Poor girl.
The concert went on, screams were loud, fanchants were strong, light stick choreo was on point, the BOYS choreo was definitely on point, and honestly everything was just perfect. In the back of my head I couldnā€™t wait to finally meet the boys and better yet, be able to get this secret off my chest. I still hadnā€™t told anyone of me knowing the boys so to be able to tell y/f/n was going to be a load off my chest. It was the end of the concert with the boys concluding it with a classic that is ā€œA.ā€ During one of the chorus point dances JB came to my side of the stage like he had done once or twice before. While Youngjae and him sang the chorus JB never stopped looking me during the certain lyrics
ā€œEi da aneunde wae jakku sumgyeo
Nega nal joahaneunge imi
Ne eolgure sseuyeoisseo
Ei nareul boda wae nuneul dollyeo
Da aneunde ei e...ā€
(Translated: ā€œHey I already know everything so why are you hiding
Itā€™s written all over your face that you like me
Hey why do you look away
I know everythingā€)
Contradictory to the lyrics, more specifically JBā€™s verse, I couldnā€™t look away. Was he confessing...to me? Thereā€™s now way. My heart sped up at the thought that my bias, my ult bias at that, has feelings for me! It was hard to get immersed in the rest of the concert with my head getting mixed signals of what JB really did was meant for me or just did it to tease me, not like it would be the first time. We talked a lot over messenger and really clicked, that included him reminding me that he knew that he was my favorite. Yeah I grew legit feelings for him, but my brain rationalized that it wouldnā€™t make sense for that to ever exist beyond that, but if what he did right now on stage was him confessing to me, maybe...thereā€™s a chance.
Itā€™s just the possibility of him liking me from only talking to me, while my feelings have existed. I need to stop thinking about this because thereā€™s no way
ā€œY/n just enjoy the rest of the concertā€ I mumbled to myself. Thank goodness it was loud and dark enough that no one could hear me or see me.Ā 
When the concert ended, y/f/n and I just sat there in utter amazement. We couldnā€™t believe we just had the chance to witness this and not to mention a relief since it had been so long for Got7 to come back to a city near enough that we could travel. After a moment of shock, I looked at her
ā€œYo bitchā€ I said to grab her attention
ā€œWhat bitch?ā€ She replied, such friendship
ā€œThis night ainā€™t over yetā€ I commented and signaled for her to look down her face of confusion and shock filled her face
ā€œY/n how the hell did you get these?!ā€ She whispered yelled to not get much attention to us
ā€œRemember when I went to the bathroom earlier? I guess I used a stall after one of the staff members and they misplaced it thereā€ I commented hoping she would believe the lie
ā€œY/n you donā€™t do wild shit like that though, itā€™s always meā€ she mentionsĀ 
ā€œI know but Iā€™m willing to risk it all because whatā€™s the worst that could happen?ā€ I say hoping to convince her
ā€œWell first we could be black listed by JYP, we would be the new face of sasaengs and last I checked there arenā€™t many or many in general black sasaengs...that should be enough reasons not to do itā€ she said.
ā€œYes, but if it works then we have a high chance of meeting Got7 and think about how much staff they have. Whatā€™s the likeliness they would know who we are'' I bring up
ā€œDamn, you making me do dumb bitch shit...fine Iā€™m inā€ she says. Score.Ā 
We made our way out with most everyone just like normal, but snuck away to a secluded area where security wasnā€™t looking through. We slipped through a door that led through a hallway that led backstage. Getting backstage we were looked at sideways but everyone was rushing everywhere not paying us any mind (thank goodness their staff was pretty diverse), but Iā€™m surprised no one noticed how different we stick out especially with our outfits. .Ā 
We slip passed another door, we turned around getting stopped in our tracks by the boysā€™ manager. He wore this scowl on his face and both of us freaked. Then I remembered Mark texted me saying the manager would have eyes around the place so when we sneak in he would know where we were. So when running into him and seeing the scowl I knew he was just faking it and yet it was so believable. He stared us down,
ā€œNow I donā€™t think I recognize you twoā€ he commentsĀ 
ā€œUm well you seeā€ y/f/n starts in a slight panic
ā€œWe were given these passes by someone higher up in the company so we just decided to let ourselves in instead of waiting for the person they were going to sendā€ I replied back confidently hoping it sounded believable enough...to y/f/n that is.
ā€œā€˜Someone higher up huh?ā€™ well who might that be exactly?ā€ he questionedĀ 
ā€œI donā€™t have to say and you canā€™t make meā€ I snap back with a bit of attitudeĀ 
ā€œWell if it is like that, I canā€™t allow you to proceed any furtherā€ he snarls back. Wow heā€™s really into this. JYP should really look into an acting career for this man and if not that give him a raise or something.
ā€œNow if you two ladies could follow me to this room and Iā€™ll get security to come deal with you bothā€ he continued. y/f/n was getting visibly overwhelmed, but thankfully she had her inhaler with her. I hated to see that her reaction was getting that intense, but we were so close.
ā€œFineā€ I replied back fake angrily. y/f/n and I follow the manager back to a room that was labeled ā€œSecurityā€ on the front. Perfect, everything was going to plan. Mark helped give more detail to my plan and thought to get a sheet of paper and put security to make the plan more believable. What we didnā€™t know though is under that sheet of paper it actually said ā€œArtists Dressing Room.ā€ It also occurred to me how good the manager's english had gotten. I guess it worked out with my Korean also getting much better as well. Luckily, I told y/f/n that I decided to study Korean again so she didnā€™t question why I was able to speak so well. She is able to speak pretty well herself, but the intensity of the situation caused her brain to freak out not being able to respond.
Once we reached the door, the manager slowly turned around. We briefly made eye contact and a smirk slightly graced his face. This is it, y/f/n looked like her nerves were a bit calmer, but I was sure to stand behind her in case she passed out. The manager opened the door and stepped to the side, he ushered us in and I gasp really loudly,Ā 
ā€œOMG ITā€™S GOT7ā€ I exclaim. The boys all shot their heads up from different areas of the room, the sense of panic that graced their face for a few seconds made it even better. That stupid Mark, I guess he didnā€™t tell the boys of the plan so they must have thought that we were crazed fans who actually snuck in. Once the boys stared in shock for a few more seconds, all the sudden I hear
ā€œy/nnnnn!!!ā€ Mark screamed and dashed from the chair he was lounging in for a hug. I start laughing hysterically when I turn to see y/f/nā€™s hella confused face. It took me all the strength to try and stop laughing, but eventually I was able to calm down enough to talk,
ā€œSURPRISE BITCH!!ā€ I look to y/f/n and yell, her face still in utter shock and confusion.Ā 
ā€œHey boysā€ I wave crazily to the boys who finally have the previous shock go away and have faces grazed with the biggest of smiles.
ā€œy/n, how are you here?!ā€ Youngjae questioned. From my peripheral vision I could see the boys look with beaming eyes mentally waiting for the answer to that same exact question they were all sharing. I look to Mark and comment
ā€œYou idiot, you didnā€™t tell them?ā€ I laugh
ā€œWell seeing you were surprising your friend, I wanted to do the same for the boysā€ he laughed back.Ā 
ā€œMakes sense, this was worth it though to see their facesā€ we both started laughing. Mark went on to explain in Korean about the plan we concocted and how we were able to execute it along with the help of the manager and other staff members. The boys nod and I turn to y/f/n explaining everything similarly.Ā 
ā€œI hate you so much right nowā€ y/f/n says but with humor
ā€œAwe but I love you so muchā€ I replied back lovingly
ā€œMark this is my friend y/f/n I was telling you about beforeā€ I turn to Mark and say
ā€œNice to meet you!ā€ Mark said with a bright smile
ā€œNice to meet you tooā€ y/f/n replied back slightly shyly but still with slight confidence. Mark directs us to go and sit down on the chair that was previously occupied by him and Jackson. We all took a seat while BamBam, Yug, and JB were getting their makeup taken off and getting dressed in more comfier clothing behind a panel.Ā 
ā€œThis is crazy that weā€™re finally getting to meet you y/n though it feels like weā€™ve been friends for agesā€™ Jackson speaks up.
ā€œI know right! Itā€™s still surreal that weā€™re all pretty good friends given weā€™ve never met physically...well except for Mark that isā€Ā 
ā€œWait how do you even know Mark...like how the hell did that even happen?ā€ y/f/n speaks up. The boys looked at each other surprised that she didnā€™t know even though Mark and I had been talking for months. I look to Mark to see if it was fine to tell her given that heā€™s not one of my patients anymore, but still it would be illegal and immoral to start spilling unless allowed. He gives me the go ahead and I turn back to y/f/n and explain to her how it came to be. From all the stupid stuff he said to getting to talk to the boys over facetime, nothing was left unturned. She couldnā€™t believe what she was hearing and how lucky I was to have a chance encounter like this.Ā 
ā€œWow you really lived the ā€˜y/nā€™ life right now huh?ā€ She commented
ā€œIā€™m just glad I was able to get it off my chest, it was really hard trying to keep this a secret for that longā€ I laughedĀ 
ā€œBut why now, like how long you think you wouldā€™ve held it in if they didnā€™t have a tour?ā€ she questioned
ā€œHonestly I was close to just spilling everything, but luckily the tour was announced. You can also thank Mark for the free tickets and passes by the wayā€ I laughed. y/f/n looked at Mark and had no other way of phrasing words than to say thank you multiple times
ā€œItā€™s no problem at all, your reaction was priceless though! It made it worth it in the endā€ he laughed.
I sit there looking at my surroundings amazed this is actually happening. Mark irritatingly asked y/f/n to tell him stories of stupid shit Iā€™ve done in the past because I refused to tell him. y/f/n went along Iā€™m guessing as payback for the stupid stunt I pulled with this whole encounter. Maybe it wasnā€™t the best idea to put those two together because now Jackson is listening in and I guess so is BamBam from the makeup chair because I can hear him laughing along with everyone else at some part of the story that I donā€™t even remember (I must have been drunk...whoops). Even then, I donā€™t think anything could top this momentā€¦
Now I have to figure out why JB has been avoiding interactions with me since y/f/n and I walked in.Ā

"Hahaha. A friend pointed this out. W online shops too!" What does this even mean?! I don't know anyone in 2020 who doesn't online shop besides my 80 year old grandparents because they refuse to learn how to use a computer šŸ˜‚ I don't get how Will, a 30 something year old man, online shopping is worthy enough for Abby to comment on it. I'm sure Chris does it too. And Darren.
On Nov 5, Darren wrote this post and the cc fandom lost their shit. Ā  Ā 
Tumblr media
They decided that organizing 10 costumes for multiple events in two different states for two different people was not worthy of acknowledgment- especially since they wore several purchased costumes. They spent the next 30-ish days mocking herĀ ā€œonline shopping skillsā€ like the petty idiots they are and now they bring it up two months later.Ā 
Anonymous asked:Ā this is funny, C posted a photo of beard, D posted photos with the beard. Almost like they were sitting next to each other and saying ā€œok ok I will say thisā€
ajw720 answered: The only difference, C controls his SM and the bearding, D does not, but they knew the Halloween post was coming when C posted his belated b-day wishes (not that he acknowledged they were late). Ā 
It really is, if you can remove the very human, tragic element, like a script for a really bad D Movie. Ā C posts ā€œHappy Birthday, Babe!ā€ a day after the manā€™s actual b-day and ā€œDā€ praises his fake bride for MAKING TEN costumes. Ā Sure praise her if she actually designed them and sat with her sewing machine. Ā No, she went online and ordered things (I doubt she even went to a store). Ā  And 3 couple costumes were cheap frankly. Ā The only thought was how narcissistic she could be in their execution (as @flowersintheattic254pointed out even the Mario costume had Ā a reason, it was a reminder of Japan and the fake encagement by referring to the ad that paid for their trip there).
And seriously how are people not questioning that she spent the entirety of her month picking TEN costumes? Ā Who has time for this? Ā I know, i know, a person whose only role in life is to play fake plus one.
I am just so tired by D in particular being utterly dragged down by the useless dead weight by his side and his teamā€™s sole ambition to promote her and make her sound like a decent person. Ā 
If they wanted to praise her, maybe they should have forced her to participate in the zero waste initiative instead of sitting drinking by the pool or have her volunteer to help young girls who have been kicked out of their homes, or have been raped. Ā Or pick any cause and truly volunteer her time to promote it. Ā If she is not going to actually get a job and pursue a career, please force her to do something that is actually of value and contribute something good to the world. But to praise her for picking TEN costumes? Ā 
Praise that comes from a man who this year alone won three awards, is starring in a show he created and wrote the music for, has his first big movie premiere this week, is exec producer and star of a huge show on N/etflix, just announced his starring role with 2 A++ lists actors next spring on Broadway, celebrated the 5th anniversary of the festival he created, volunteered his time for the zero waste initiative, performed at several charity events, and was just yesterday name limited series actor of the decade. Ā Where is the praise for him from his ā€œbrideā€? Ā He at least deserves it.
How do they not see how ridiculous it is for someone with Dā€™s accomplishments in 2019 alone praise a person for purchasing TEN costumes for Halloween? Ā And stans, how do you accept that this is right or normal. Ā You really know nothing about him and have such little respect for him as a person if you continue to accept the character his idiotic team has created on his behalf. Ā It is so far from the person he is and that he generally holds himself out to be when given the opportunity. Ā 
This isnā€™t about being a ā€œgay fetishistā€ or ā€œhating womanā€ this is about wanting for D to be fairly and accurately represented and no longer forced to participate in this stupid, life sucking game to promote a person that contributes absolutely nothing to the world. Ā If you want to have a strong female role model, there are so many, iā€™ve talked about a few in the past few days (thus far Nancy, Lea, and Phoebe) and will continue to do so, but please stop worshiping a person whose sole reason you are speaking about her is her connection to D, even if you refuse to accept it is fake. Ā 
klainecentricĀ Finished reading the funniest ig story of the day, the qween being praised for sitting in front of either a sewing machine or computer...bravo your majesty qween....your my hero well done.šŸ‘šŸ‘. And all I can think of is how irrelevant the statement D made about being an emotional horder, being a very private person and finally D saying he's lazy when it comes to social media, I'm internally screaming in frustration because yeah we know D wouldn't have written a post praising that lazy good for nothing waste of space but he's coming across as a lier and it's extremely damaging to his character as a person. I absolutely hate lying and every time another "private" moment is posted to the world is another small piece that's chipped away from what D has originally stated about privacy. PBB, nobody cares about your cheap arse highly flammable costumes you buy online, did you forget about your piano baby adult strip club. I'm sure there are still plenty of people out there you can hire to rub and flaunt their flanges all over the beer taps, why don't you keep busy on that instead. If you want to make costumes, I'm sure you can sew some mighty fine titty tassels together. It'll be cheap nasty, sound familiar.
soulyĀ So, let me get this straight. We should all praise a person for going online, looking up different costumes in online stores, putting those in their shopping basket and hitting ā€œbuyā€? Because I do that at least once a week with other stuff. Do I get praised for that now? Pretty please? Iā€™m doing good work there and buy a lot of stuff, therefore I must be the best person ever!

notes-from-nowhereĀ You nailed it šŸ¤£
ajw720Ā Yesterday I got a delivery of car food. And instead of his usual seafood mix up greats, I got him shrimp flavor. Iā€™m awesome!!!!!
soulyĀ Oh, hey! I think we should all take pictures of whatever we bought online during the week or month and make individual posts on all of our social media accounts about it. Because, you knowā€¦
Tumblr media
cassie1022Ā I picked up stuff I ordered online at Target and PetSmart. Does that count? Should I receive accolades because my cat will have fresh litter to do her business on?
soulyĀ Only if you post the pictures to prove it! ;)
ajw720Ā As soon as I get home. Pictures forthcoming. Shrimp cat treats and I also got a burgundy blanket for my new comforter!!! Life goals!!!!!!!!!!!
soulyĀ Okay, so, letā€™s seeā€¦ What did I buy online during the past month that can be shared as pictures? Some things are gifts, so I obviously canā€™t post anything about those yet. But I think these here are safe.
Letā€™s start with one of my fav new shirts. (Excuse the grainy quality. I had to quickly edit it for privacy reasons. :p And yes, thatā€™s a butterfly mirror.)
Tumblr media
The rest are behind the cut to save your dash from drowning in too many pictures. ;)
cheekyface72Ā Youā€™re my queen from now onā€¦
ajw720Ā I think emmy/sag/gg/CC winner DC should write a post @soulypraising your awesome, amazing, unparalleled online shopping skills! Ā You earned that praise. Ā That cat toy is particularly spectacular.

flowersintheattic254.Ā When you add the fact that the wedding was sponsored so heavily, and her history of outfits I think it shows Mi@rren is something thatā€™s always been done very much ā€˜on the cheapā€™.
From work vacays (honeymoon included), RC ā€˜glue gunā€™ looks, thrift shoes and subsidized weddings.
Itā€™s BUDGET BEARDING!!!
leka-1998.Ā Itā€™s not worth more than this, thatā€™s for sure.
notes-from-nowhereĀ Ā We are so ungrateful. She worked hard to find the gloves.
Tumblr media
I bet she had to click on another link to find them. She deserves another accolade.
ajw720Ā @flowersintheattic254 Budget Bearding! Ā I LOVE It! (and something tells me Dā€™s SW costume in particular was far cheaper than either of these).
soulyĀ That Snow White dress can be found for about $25 in a ton of online shops. I stumbled upon it even before Halloween way too many times. šŸ˜‚
@notes-from-nowhere The plush question mark block can be found in a couple online stores like this one. She simply glued it onto some gloves - or asked L to do it with that glue gun of hers.
flowersintheattic254Ā Well funnily enough I think we may have confirmation that šŸš½šŸš½ glued on the puppies so I guess YES to the question mark block too!!!

Anonymous asked:
Whenever I see miarren gifset they always use the same quote underneath (the rolling the windows down quote) and at first I rolled my eyes and thought uh not that quote again, and I can't believe it took me this long to realise it's because there is literally no other quote that can be construed as loving. You can hardly put down "she's a big girl" whenever you make a set of gifs with M beaming and D looking like someone murdered the dog he's allergic to.
ajw720: And I love the Emmy quote as it was an absolute reference to his character who was a psychopath. Pretty telling if you ask me. But that reference is over their heads.
And pretty much the only one. Guess saying heā€™s a ball and chain kind of guy isnā€™t romantic. They canā€™t even take pooping exes as he clearly steered the conversation away from her. Lovely lady of many moons? Nah she sounds like a stranger. Saying nothing changes after marriage? Sounds boring. Itā€™s a struggle. But hey sheā€™s an excellent online shopper that he done got hitched to!!!

Stone cold
Tumblr media
Pairing: BTS OT7 x Reader
Warnings: None
Genre: Love
Summary: Y/N. A girl who recently moved to Korea, South Korea to be exact. Sheā€™s really introverted and tends to shut down and appear cold but once you talk with her you realise that sheā€™s actually a beautiful person inside and out. What will happen once the seven boys meet her? Will they fall for her stone cold appearance ? Or will they immediately connect and maybe...fall in love?
A/N: Iā€™m soooooo sorry for taking so long please forgive me, I hope youā€™ll enjoy this!!
Asked by: @tangledbutterflies
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
I donā€™t do it on purpose, I mean I just like it when people leave me alone. My business is mine and you have yours why canā€™t people understand that?! They always come by my side and start a conversation that I canā€™t even continue...Iā€™m just so awkward and Iā€™m sure that people feel it.
But itā€™s weird though I am not like that with everyone for example when I am with my family Iā€™m so open I even crack some jokes...
But when you just moved to another country and donā€™t even understand a single word even if you downloaded some apps to learn some decent words, at least I can say a few like hello, goodbye, thank you and sorry. Itā€™s not enough I know I am making an effort here...right ?
Korea...South Korea to be exact thatā€™s where I moved just 4 months ago. Do I like it here? Yes. Do I miss my family? Yes a loooot!! Did I make some friends tho...No.
But I moved here because I always wanted to explore the world and Korea is my first stop itā€™s a little bit difficult to adjust here but for the rest I am enjoying my self but communication is still a problem and there social hierarchy is something I need to get used to...
This is what I didnā€™t do on purpose bowing. And you might think of course you stupid, in Korea people bow how didnā€™t you know this. Oooh believe me I knew but what I didnā€™t know at this moment is that putting your hands and bowing at the same time is not really polite, especially towards elders. So this is why this elder woman is scolding me here while I didnā€™t understand al I keep saying is sorry but I think that she isnā€™t taking it well. But that is where this young girl about my age I think, walked towards us. I guess she saw the commotion and the desperate look on my face.
ā€œSorry maā€™am please understand sheā€™s a foreigner she is still learning the language and the culture please forgive her.ā€ She said
Elder woman scoffed and walked away
I looked at my savior and tried to say thank you in Korean
ā€œ K-kamsahamnida!!ā€ And bowed
ā€œHaha itā€™s okay I speak English.ā€
ā€œOh...well thank you so much for your help.ā€
ā€œItā€™s no problem! My name is Yuna by the way...whatā€™s yours?ā€
ā€œY/N...ā€
and this is where everything gets awkward I can never keep a conversation here she is trying to be friendly and me being awkward.
ā€œYouā€™re not much of a talker I see.ā€
ā€œIā€™m sorry, let me buy you a coffee as a thank you.ā€
ā€œHahaha yeah sure.ā€
As we stepped in the cafe we ordered. I said mine and when she said what she wants. The barista asked ā€œare you going to drink it here or take it?ā€ And she responded something.
Did I understand...of course not so I looked at her puzzled as she walked to a table.
Oh now I understand...but the thing is I just wanted to buy her something and just go back home but I guess she didnā€™t understand it well or I explained it wrong. I sat in front of here and she smiled.
ā€œIs it your first time here in Korea?ā€
ā€œYes I just moved here recently.ā€
ā€œOh thatā€™s nice.ā€she exclaimed
ā€œSo why Korea? What do you like about here?ā€
ā€œWell Iā€™m not gonna lie k-dramaā€™s and kpop was a little part of my decision but also the culture is really interesting I watched a lot of YouTube videos and searched informations about Korea and I thought why not go here.ā€ I explained
ā€œThatā€™s really amazing I hope you like it here if you want I can show you some places?ā€
ā€œThat would be amazing!ā€
We exchanged our kakao talks and said our goodbyes
ā€œThank you for the coffee I hope that Iā€™ll see you soon !!ā€
ā€œNo problem and yeah me too!!ā€
And thatā€™s what happened I became really fast friends with Yuna she is a really confident, social and bubbly person. Totally the opposite of me but itā€™s fun to go outside your comfort zone!
*bip*
I looked at my phone and watch the message.
ā€œHey letā€™s hangout there is this new restaurant that I want to try!!!!ā€
ā€œSure!!ā€
ā€œYeeeess see you there here is the address.ā€
*sent attachment*
ā€œAlright see you there :)ā€
ā€œ Oh Iā€™ll bring some friends of mine as well! You will like them!!ā€
ā€œSure....ā€
I searched some clothes and made myself ready. When I went outside the apparemment I called for a taxi and gave him the address. We arrived I gave the money and I went outside it looked like it was how can I say this...posh? I turned around to asked if it was the correct place. But he was already gone.
Great...
As I kept walking I saw a beautiful place, I guess it was a restaurant I still texted Yuna to say that I had arrived and if she could walk out of the restaurant to see if I was at the right place. When I walked towards the door I saw a red sign that said open I walked in and to my surprise I saw some people the restaurant and the people looked wealthy I turned around and saw Yuna.
ā€œY/N hiā€
ā€œYuna hey how did you find this place it looks really...fancy.ā€
ā€œOh you know the internet, come on Iā€™m going to introduce you to my friends!!ā€
We walked the more you walk at the back the fancier it looked when we arrived at the table I gasped. I tried to look at Yuna to say we were at the wrong table but she didnā€™t look my way but spoke.
ā€œY/N these are my friends Namjoon, Seokjin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook.ā€ She smiled
I looked at her flabbergasted and tried to say something.
ā€œY-yuna...you didnā€™t....H-hi I mean annyeong haseyo y-y/n imnida.ā€
Embarrassing
ā€œHi y/n itā€™s nice to meet you please sit down we already ordered hope you donā€™t mind.ā€
ā€œN-no not at all.ā€ I sat next to Yuna and Seokjin
I tried to look as calm as possible but it is not as easy as I thought. When your favourite kpop group is casually sitting with you in a restaurant and is for some reason befriended with your friend...my brain is going wild man!!
We started eating and little by little I felt really at ease. I think they felt it because they kept looking at me and smiling.
Seokjin looked at me and smiled and said ā€œIā€™m happy you feel more comfortable.ā€
ā€œWas it that noticeable?ā€ I whisper
ā€œPretty much yeah but itā€™s okay it kinda looked like you didnā€™t like us or something.ā€ Namjoon looked at me
ā€œWhy would you think that?ā€ I gasped
ā€œWell one you are almost sitting on Yunaā€™s lap....ā€ he laughed
I look and indeed I was almost squishing that poor girl I excused myself and sat right.
ā€œAnd two never once did you look at us only at the food.ā€
I blushed and looked at my lap
ā€œAish Namjoon-ah donā€™t be like that y/n is a really shy and introverted girl but once you learn to know her she is really an amazing person!!ā€ Yuna said
ā€œIā€™m sure she is, a beautiful girl like her can only be amazing!ā€ Namjoon said
ā€œBesides I think we need to see each other again tomorrow we are performing it would be really cool if you could come y/n!!ā€
ā€œ Oh really?! Yes for sure Iā€™ll be there it would be amazing!ā€ I exclaimed
ā€œSee you there!ā€ Jungkook smiled
We all went to our own ways I was with Yuna in her car
ā€œSo Yuna when were you going to tell me that BTS are your friends?! How even???!!???ā€ I exclaimed
Yuna laughed and said ā€œI was about to but you know theyā€™re pretty known so you have to be careful.ā€
ā€œHumm yeah but still I was shook girl!! You know how much I love them!ā€
ā€œ I know but hey now theyā€™re your friends too!!ā€
ā€œW-what really?!ā€
ā€œDuhhhh, Iā€™ll pick you up so weā€™ll go together to the concert Alright?ā€
ā€œYeah thanks see you tomorrow.ā€
I waved and walked out the car
Wow I saw BTS...
~~~~
I canā€™t believe that Iā€™m going to a BTS concert this is literally a dream come true!!
As Yuna picked me she drove us to the concert fast but safely, once arrived we quickly ran towards the entrance.
ā€œOh yeah I forgot to tell you this, here is your backstage pass they gave this yesterday but I totally forgot.ā€she said calmly.
I looked at her with wide eyes and screamed ā€œARE YOU SERIOUS???Yuna how can you forget such a thing???!!!OH MY- phew chill girl we-I have to chill.ā€
Yuna rolled her eyes at me and grabbed my hand ā€œCome on, I want to say hi to the boys!!ā€
We showed our pass to the security and walked towards the backstage. Once we were in front a door, I knew that this wasnā€™t just some merely dream I am going to see bts.
Yuna opened the door and walked in I shyly walked behind in and there they were sitting and laughing. JHope saw us and enthusiastically ran towards ā€œY/N hiiii!ā€ And gave me a hug,the other members also saw us and walked towards us.
ā€œY/N!!!ā€ They yelled and each gave me a hug
If I wasnā€™t blushing when JHope hugged me then I certainly did know.
ā€œUhum...ā€I saw Yuna looking at us
We looked back at her and she raised her brows they laughed and also gave her a hug and she smiled.
ā€œIā€™m glad you guys could make it, Iā€™m really happy to see you guys!!ā€Jin said while looking at me
ā€œJust say that you are happy to see Y/N.ā€she scoffed and gave them a look that I couldnā€™t decipher.
They all looked kinda flustered? But I didnā€™t really pay much attention to it.
ā€œR-right, let me call our manager and he will show you your seats.ā€ Namjoon said calmly
The manager came and quickly brought us to our seats.
~~~~
The concert was seriously an experience that I would never forget! I truly hope that anyone who wants to see their favourite artist could experience this because it is truly amazing!
We went towards the backstage and congratulate the guys.
ā€œIt was just incredibly amazing!! Thank you for inviting me!ā€I smiled at them
They smiled and Yoongi saidā€ Itā€™s no problem, we really wanted to see you again?ā€
ā€œReally why?ā€ I asked
ā€œBecause you...you seem like an nice girl I-we would like to see you more !!ā€Yoongi responded
ā€œOh wow I donā€™t know what to say...ā€ I said flustered
ā€œCan we have your number? We really want to stay in touch with you ā€Jimin asked
ā€œYes of course!ā€ I quickly gave them my number and we said our goodbyes.
~~~~
Yuna drove back to my apartment , once arrived I thanked her for everything and stepped out the car but she grabbed me.
ā€œY/N wait...ā€
I looked at her puzzled
ā€œThe boys...they....ā€
ā€œWhatā€™s going on with them?ā€
ā€œPromise m-ā€œ
ā€œYuna youā€™re freaking me out tell me whatā€™s going on?ā€
ā€œJust promise me this Y/N, donā€™t break their heart even if things are going bad, do not break their hearts !!ā€
ā€œWhat are you talking about? Why would I break their hearts?ā€
ā€œJust promise!ā€
ā€œW-wh-...ā€
ā€œY/N please!!ā€
ā€œOkay okay I wonā€™t I promise!!ā€
I looked at her and she didnā€™t look back. What was that ? I went in my apartment, changed in comfortable clothes and laid in my bed.
What was that?
~~~~
ā€œWhat are we going to do? I never felt like this before? Is it possible to fall in love but youā€™ve only met twice? ā€

Leverage - The Studio Job
It feels like ages since Iā€™ve done one of these, and I MISS MY SHOW, so I popped in a random DVD and whohoo it is ā€œThe Studio Jobā€. So here is a random amount of things that I love about this episode. I love...
... the sheer swagger of Hasselhoff err Schneider err Kirkwood. Not many people can pull off that leather jacket, dude
... the fact that Eliot is present during the initial client meeting. Iā€™ve been wondering about this actually, I mean obviously itā€™s clear why Eliot is here because he clearly is the only one with a decent taste in music and whatnot (what violin? Hardison who?). But, like, does Nate have a diary on his desk where he pencils in potential clients and he hasnā€™t yet figured out that the team reads that thing and just ā€œhappens to show upā€ to meetings they think interesting? Is the entire team actually present for the inital ā€œhelloā€ and then just randomly decides ā€œnah, not today, todayā€™s client is harshing my vibe, Iā€™d rather hang out with my hordeā€? How do these meetings come about? I NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS
... hahahaha, that music video is just the BEST THING. I kinda need a video like that with Eliot staring in it.
... Hardison dumping info like a boss. I know itā€™s common knowledge that Aldis Hodge was (in part) hired because of exactly that skill but seriously, he is SO good at it.
... ā€œI donā€™t know how to play the fiddleā€ (Hardison probably does) and Hardisonā€™s and Eliotā€™s reactions hahaha
... Kirkwood being a creepy douche. ā€œBut the computer...ā€ - ā€œSay it again.ā€ Such a dick (and such a great little bit of characterisation)
... we are not talking about Hardisonā€™s HORRIBLE outfit. Okay, maybe we are. We all know that Hardison has the best style of all of them (donā€™t fight me on this), so clearly the only explanation for this terribly mustard/brown combo is that he went to a thrift store and deliberately bought the most ridiculously 70s retro country shit he could find. Why? Well, to piss of Eliot, of course
... Nate wearing the white hat. Who are you trying to fool, mate? Oh, right. The mark.
... Parkerā€™s dance theft. Hands down my favourite lift. Possibly ever. (Such a nice use of lazy sensual music there as well)
... Hardisonā€™s clever strategy of responding to suspicion and anger by just mirroring that and instantly forming a bond of mutual pissed-off-ness
... Hardisonā€™s condescension in reaction to the DJā€™s super bad lie. Because lying is cool. But bad lying? Thatā€™s just offensive.
... Hot diggity dagum. Hahahaha, Hardison
... the notion that the entire time during that interlude Kirkwood is chewing Nateā€™s ear off
... Nateā€™s stutter - I love that he regularly uses these more obvious go-to-personas / tactics (like that stutter when he wants to come across as slightly gullible and not a threat) that arenā€™t that refined as those his team would chose. Why? Not because he canā€™t do any better. Just because he canā€™t be bothered. Ha, Nate, I love your casual arrogance
... sunglasses in that badly lit a club, Sophie? Really :)?
... Nateā€™s FACE the moment Kirkwood turns his back. You sexy, devious bastard. I love you.
... Parker and her refusal to buy into metaphors. Her sense of humour is just so - I mean OBVIOUSLY she gets it, like she gets every other metaphorical expression (ā€œI didnā€™t even get to see the emerald!ā€ anyone?). But yeah, I agree with you, itā€™s hilarious when the rest tries to be patient / loses their shit
... HELLO FIDDLE!
... that shot with Eliot and the blue and yellow lights
... Eliot being offended all over the place. Parker startled him! Parker was a kid!catburglar? (Dude, this is, what, the third season? How can that surprise you?) Eliot CAN sing!
... that little bit of maybe-stage-fright. And the fact that Parker is up there with him and her overacted astonishment. Which is a. seriously funny, and b. such a neat reaction because of course it pisses Eliot off, and a pissed off Eliot is not a nervous Eliot. I love these weird bits of their friendship
... Hardison following suit. - Darth Vader Eliot and Smurf Eliot. Parkerā€™s genuine laughter. Oh God, could I love the friendship these three have any more? I think not. (And whatā€™s the greatest thing? This isnā€™t even talked about, this isnā€™t even supposed to be the POINT of the scene. Other shows create entire episodeā€™s, entire fucking seasons around moments like this one. Leverage? Just casually dishing it out. Because this show is perfection.)
... Hardison first comparing Eliot to Britney Spears, then calling him ā€œbabyā€
...NATE poking fun at him for it
... Hardison being startled, not because of the ā€œbabyā€ bit obviously, but oops, there he was flirting with his best girl and his best guy and he mightā€™ve forgotten that the coms were live
... HOW OLD ARE YOU, Nate :D
... ā€œThis must be the Southern charm I heard so much aboutā€. Sophie, being brilliant with the ā€œfuck you, you sleazebagā€ without the sleazebag actually noticing. I seriously love her throughout this episode. She has very little to do, but everything she does just reeks of that special brand of low-key arrogant professionalism and pride in her grifter skills. So much love for her.
... Nateā€™s sexy white hat profile!
... Eliot letting himself be seduced. Not gonna lie, there are plenty of his dates that I like better than the one in this ep, but this still is a great little scene. I really dig Eliotā€™s way with people (and itā€™s not just women; itā€™s people). Because he LISTENS.
... Sophie being a food snob. Again.
... Sophieā€™s outfit. The hair? The frigging jacket? So rad.
... Sophieā€™s way with Kirkwood compared to Nateā€™s earlier. See, this is the expert at playing people, the Shakespeare of grifters
... Eliotā€™s fucking voice
... Hardisonā€™s little panic attack
... Nateā€™s FOCUS when he looks at Eliot. Thatā€™s not just because the con works. That is his super sharp shark focus of pride (which is totally an expression).
... seriously, Eliotā€™s voice. I need to dig out my old Kane CDs
... Eliotā€™s little smile at the end
... reward sex. You earned that, man.
... why do you take out your com? Everyone knows what youā€™re doing anyway. And now Nate has to beat up goons on his own. Jeez.
... ā€œYou two work out togetherā€ - hahaha, oh Nate
... ā€œForever 21, donā€™t hit meā€ - another seriously nice bit of interlacing the imminent danger of Nate potentially getting killed with teenage groupies. Not only is that little tidbit funny in its own right, it also tells us, before we even see it, that Nateā€™s all right. Eliot already knows, obviously, he has the ear bud back in and he is taking his sweet time to give that autograph and whatnot while definitely listening to Nate dealing with that problem. That is my version of how it went down and Iā€™m sticking with it
... ā€œOh, ELIOTā€™s the fiddleā€ hahaha
... Parkerā€™s outfit. Hardisonā€™s COAT (btw, the way Parker and Hardison interact here? This is probably pretty close to how they must seem to the unsuspecting casual observer ALWAYS, just minus the outfit).
... ā€œWe was cool, we was vibinā€™ā€
... Eliot being chased, and all of this having such a retro Beatles vibe to it
... ā€œContrary to what you all believe, I do not control everything that happens on the internetā€... five seconds later ā€œBoom, fansite nukedā€
... ā€œIā€™m pretty certain a fatwa was issued!ā€ - ā€œYouā€™re so vain, man.ā€ (Because yes, Hardison. Eliot brags by telling people how many governments want him dead. That is absolutely how Eliot rolls.)
... ā€œseriously, for breakfast?!ā€ - I love you, Sophie
... Sophieā€™s superfast reactions and the joy of getting to slap Nate
... Parkerā€™s traipsing and Hardisonā€™s gangsta walk
... you know what is better than Hardison half naked in a recording studio? Hardison, half naking in a recording studio, yanking Eliotā€™s chain.
... Parkerā€™s scale of what is weird being VERY different than anyone elseā€™s
... ā€œThis is not from an icebergā€
... Hardison moving with Eliotā€™s music, then interrupting him, THEN cutting off communications :)
... niiice little bit of storytelling-by-superzoom, and Parker solving the case while Hardison and Eliot are just mucking around
... Ribs, Ribs, More Ribs
... ā€œThe guy whoā€™s buying our fiddle? He thinks he IS the fiddle.ā€
... Locked off comedy frame - my favourite ever, actually. SO many great OT3 scenes in this episode
... beating goons up with a mic stand AND drumsticks
... black-hat-Nate (now, doesnā€™t that look more right?) impersonating Hannibal Smith
... nice shot of the four of them in the hotel
... a conveniently parked random motorbike
... Eliot err Kenneth Crane t-shirts
... Kirkwood lip-syncing
... a groupie flashmob
... Parker on stage. Because this is important. For the con. For Eliot.
... Eliot once again proving that he is a great actor (second best on the team) in that staged conversation with Kirkwood
... a conveniently placed cow-hide
... Eliot and Nate doing the gloat together.
... Nateā€™s black hat, toothpick combo (he is really loving this weekā€™s outfit theme, isnā€™t he?)
... Eliotā€™s little laugh at the proposal of being one half of the next Johnny and June. I love that because itā€™s both sweet and kinda flattered as well as absolutely-not- are-you-kidding-me- as-that-could-tempt-me-away- from-the-sweet-gig-I-already-got
... that little beat, again with just Nate and Eliot. God, I love their friendship sosososo much. I should write a 5k essay about it. And by essay I mean ode.
... that way that Nate is not looking people in the eye when he wants to give them a bit of privacy. Or when he wants some himself
... ā€œNotes on my performanceā€ - ā€œHow were you?ā€ - ā€œNo complaintsā€ - And Eliotā€™s and Sophieā€™s relationship? SO different. Equally awesome.
... I also what to know what time it is, Eliot.
Ā Perfect episode. Perfect show.

SYTYCD s16: Top 4 perform
Well here we are, fellas. The end is nigh.
That wasnā€™t the most well-rehearsed opening number was it? Saw lots of out of sync moments and unpolished details.
Gino and Sophie Jazz: Okay. Nice dance. Concept showed through - I can totally see this happening in a club. I feel Gino is uncomfortable with the showmance-ish route the show is kinda going with them. Itā€™s by no means a full-out showmance as theyā€™ve done before but the show is being suggestive and Gino is like leaning away from it a little (which is his right if he wants to.) He also didnā€™t have as much to do in this dance as Sophie. 7/10
Bailey and Mariah Smooth Jazz: So were the flowers a surprise? I love this style. Mariah got all the nuances. Bailey was really close too - he could have been lighter on his feet. But seriously, he has the best classical technique of all the b-boys that I can remember. When Dom said in the auditions that Bailey was the definition of dance, I thought it was a bit hyperbolic, but itā€™s not.Ā 8.5/10
Really profound solo from Gino.
Sophie and Marko Contemporary: Ouch, coming out of the first spin it looked like Sophie landed on her face. I felt a tad disconnected emotionally from the dance, but there was good technique. 8/10
Bailey and Comfort hip-hop: BAM! Thatā€™s what you get with two rad hip-hop dancers. Great first half, then some details started to be slightly different between both of them. That applause!! 9/10
That solo from Sophie felt like she improvā€™ed it and started running out of ideas after the first few bars. Didnā€™t seem to feel likeĀ ā€˜herā€™.
Gino and Mariah Quickstep: Sharna and Artem got slighted by DWTS and immediately came to SYTYCD. Whoo! Props to them, quickstep is NOT easy. Frame was decent enough considering how long they had to rehearse. Footwork not bad too. They broke hold (HA) but Len Goodman isnā€™t here to harp on that. Lots of fun. 9/10
Bailey and Sophie Bollywood: Baileyā€™s b-boy background would have helped him with the movement style. He had a bit more bounce in the squat-based steps. What Laurieann said - lacking a bit of detail. For Bailey I think it was in his hands specifically. For Sophie I think it was in general trying to keep up. Lol that ending haha. 8.5/10
Finally started to feel Mariahā€™s solo in that one. It started out flat but she grew into it quickly and ended strong.
Gino and Melanie Contemporary: Ohhh my god. What a dance. Gino came through with the emotions, even when he confessed to being guarded in the video. I think everyone just kept expecting him to do well that it got to him a bit. Good that heā€™s had this personal growth, even if itā€™s not necessarily something translatable on stage all the time. This dance comes at a good time for himĀ 10/10
Awwwww, the production was busy making Gino awkward by hinting at a showmance when Bailey was out here actually having a small crush hahaha. All the little moments they showed of them backstage were so cute though. This boy really knows how to work a crowd. The musicality in that solo was off the charts.
Mariah and Robert Contemporary: Okay. Robert and Mandy. I knew this dance had at least a 50% chance of being very blah to me. Emotionally, I was in and out of this. Sometimes Mariahā€™s expressions looked overdone (as was Maryā€™s tears after), but I believe she truly felt this dance. Visually, it was a very beautiful dance. Breathtaking moments. Lovely lighting. Blend of technique and transitory steps. I like this type of contemporary. 9/10
Wait, weā€™re already sourcing auditions for next year???
Gino and Bailey Broadway: Iā€™VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DANCE. Now thisĀ is the couple to beat. Haha. Sorry girls. These two were so good together. There were some moves that were more up Ginoā€™s alley and some up Baileyā€™s, but they both held up next to the other and danced TOGETHER. Fantastic storytelling. 11/10
Mariah and Sophie Hip-hop: so theyā€™re mean girls. Weā€™ve all heard of those people. So my one gripe with this dance was the handbags. They felt kinda extra, but also added to the character. I guess I wish they were incorporated better. Both girls really sold their character. 7/10
Alright, those were the last of the dances before the finale next week, and the crowning of a new SYTYCD champion.
My rankings are 1. Bailey 2. Gino 3. Mariah 4. Sophie
Although I wonā€™t be too mad if the ladies switched. But Iā€™ve been on Team Bailey since the beginning and his process has only cemented my support for him.

adfjghlkjfhgd she is my #1 fan...iā€™m just that cool...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
hahahahah i diiiiiid know that... they broke up quite a while ago (2017? 2 lazy 2 check her ig and confirm) and heā€™s dated people since, but itā€™s definitely funny to see them on hypothetical with that in mind, for example! iā€™m glad it seems theyā€™re still kind friends
Tumblr media
thank you anon! i have definitely seen people say good things about it, so when i have time i might branch out. i tend to use my free time for this blog and my main, but next time i have a long cab ride i might check it out...
Tumblr media
i did of course i did!!!! simon farnaby stan forever!!!! paddington is god! shoutout to @idiots-assembledĀ for running such an amazing, quality blog!
Tumblr media
hahaha anon! well dara is known for doing a lot of maths and science programmes, and brian cox is also a scientist and tv presenter, so thatā€™s where they cross paths in peopleā€™s minds. youā€™ve probably seen jokes like this one, right? the jokes are either that they are in love oooor theyā€™re rivals ā€” but whatā€™s better than a little love and hate?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i loooooooooove graham nortoooooooon ahhh his was actually the only british programme i was ever able to get my family into! my mom still texts me on the weekends to tell me how funny he is after a new episode, and she bought me one of his autobiographies for christmas, hah! he is good egg 10/10
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
haha his positive energy is what makes him miles! and one of our beloveds! iā€™m so glad you all are enjoying radio panel shows! thereā€™s so many comedians who arenā€™t deemed tv-able who get to shine on those programmes and i love that ā€” and ofc the news quiz specifically since itā€™s always working to be more inclusive :ā€™)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i genuinely have noĀ idea who it is... there was a time i thought i had a decent clue, but i was really just projecting my own opinions onto him lmao who do you think? with tea there must come shade >:)
Tumblr media
sure!
(i feel a little weary voting myself since i havenā€™t listened to all the other potential contestants, but good luck to all!)
Tumblr media
i do wonder because i would loooooove to see her on tm! i wouldnā€™t hold my breath because she is very busy with bakeoff, qi, and her other writing, but i do think she gets a real kick out of hanging out with other comedians she respects.Ā i also wouldnā€™t hold my breath for aĀ ā€œbest ofā€ kind of special; alex has said a couple times itā€™s never good when you can predict everyone will do well or everyone will do badly. i think he thinks that mix of responses and techniques is what makes the show so suspenseful, you could say, and therefore engaging! i think i agree with him, but i would be lying if i said i didnā€™t want to see, like, roisin, joe wilkinson, paul, nish, and liza tarbuck try and nail a team challenge. the chaos! it could be the end of taskmaster as we know it!!!
Tumblr media
aww anon thank youĀ šŸ˜š itā€™s so nice everyone wants to have fun watching panel shows with me, iā€™m so grateful!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
hey anon, i have answered something similar to this a few times! it really just takes a lot of exposure, i guess, but iā€™m definitely well past that point now, thankfully! :)
Tumblr media
that is so surprise to me at all. there are ways in which you can you can tell he is a sensitive person who wants the best for people, especially inĀ ā€œreal lifeā€ (i think i gathered this from his politics tbh); iā€™d also want those people around me since theyā€™re all so unique, positive, and supportive. i think it speaks to the kind of person frankie is, really!
Tumblr media
desiree burch isnā€™t one of my personal favourites, but i can see how as an american there are certain britcom dynamics and environments she canā€™t properly integrate into...that is sort of the nature of being a foreigner! of course there are more specific criticisms to her iā€™m sure you could argue, but itā€™s always going to be hit and miss depending on the show, the panelist, the other panelists, the topics, etc. *cute shrug*
Tumblr media
the short answer is no, i really donā€™t... game shows have an absolutely different (and often negative) reputation in the states, for one: celebrities who appear on any reality or game show are considered desperate for work (this is excluding shows like lip synch battle and SNL) and these types of programmes are considered daytime tv or kind of trashy. i thought the fix on netflix might bridge the gap a little but iā€™m not sure it did. it doesnā€™t seem to suit american comics to sit around and shoot the shit about serious topics; in a way, that is what podcasts are for. americans fall flat doing one-liners waaaay more often than british comedians unless that is part of their persona. katherine ryan is a great example of a non-british comedian who has nailed really short bits or quick jokes with great delivery that always lands ā€” without feeling too performative. but a part of the issue is that american audiences like comedy that is performative, that is bombastic, that is a segment (iā€™m not trying to quantify all americansā€™ tastes, i am referring to the majority that determines whether something gets to achieve mainstream success). that is not good for panel shows; catsdown is very lucky is has a mascot segment at the beginning because it pretty much ends there (RIP room 101). this is likely the reason taskmaster us didnā€™t make it past one season. itā€™s just too subtle; itā€™s not understandable or able to be summarised in a one-minute clip. i just donā€™t think the market exists... but if you disagree, iā€™m interested to hear why!
Tumblr media
any time anon! itā€™s tooooo sweet! i hope you got a chance to listen to the radio version too, it cracks me up :ā€™)
Tumblr media
aw, youā€™re welcome from over here in nyc! let me know if you ever need help finding something

Wonder Woman #47
Previously in the Land That Proofreaders Forgot, Jason is the specialest snowflake and his armour gives him all the powers of all the Greek gods ever!!!
Also, people are losing their shit, denouncing their gods and proclaiming the arrival of some so-called ā€œDark Godsā€. One of those people is Supergirl, whose fist is on a collision course with Dianaā€™s face.
At least the variant covers are still gorgeous.
Tumblr media
Supergirl attacks Diana while monologuing furiously about how all the gods are dead and the Dark Gods are coming to Show Us The Way. She says theyā€™ve told her to kill Diana, who apparently inadvertently ā€œdragged them from their own dimension into oursā€, because she will threaten their plans if sheā€™s not stopped now.
She freely volunteers this all in the first three pages, as Diana fights off her attacks, which seems just a teeny bit premature. Usually the Bond villain doesnā€™t launch into explaining their villainous plan until after theyā€™ve captured Bond, you know?
If the Dark Gods really have this much control over people, including some as powerful as Supergirl, and if itā€™s really so crucial to their plans to eliminate Wonder Woman, why not launch a precision strike? Rather than Supergirl hurtling towards Diana screaming ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½RAO IS DEAD AND SO ARE YOU!!!!ā€™ ā€” thereby giving Diana both time to react and an indication of whoā€™s really behind the assault ā€” make it a true ambush, with Supergirl attacking in ruthless, resolute silence.
Or make it a coordinated attack from a group of heroes and villains under the Dark Godsā€™ sway.
Or have the civilians Dianaā€™s trying to save turn on her as one.
Itā€™s not only a smarter tactic on the part of the villain, it would actually make for more interesting storytelling. The Dark Gods, whatever the hell they are, are supposed to be a threat of mythic proportions. Theyā€™re allegedly so scary they make all the other gods piss their pants, and their mere approach turns human minds to mush. So lean into that. A mounting series of unsettling and inexplicable events ā€” Dianaā€™s patrons falling suddenly silent, Circe inexplicably fearful, violent mobs forming out of nowhere, heroes turning on each other, divine items losing their power, a building undercurrent of theyā€™re coming and you brought this on us, so that even before weā€™ve heard their name or seen their faces we know to fear them.
Thatā€™s far more interesting than Cheetah and Supergirl bursting onto the page shrieking ā€˜THE DARK GODS ARE COMING, ALL OTHER GODS FUCKING SUCK!!!!!ā€™, in the same way that a trail of breadcrumbs is far more compelling than having half a loaf shoved violently into your face.
Anywho, they fight, Supergirl raving all the while about all the ways sheā€™s going to murder Diana, as Diana goes into her usual (under Robinson) weak litany of ā€˜listen to yourself, this is crazy talk, be reasonable!ā€™
Diana displays her usual (under Robinson) keen deductive skills.
Tumblr media
ā€œI need to knowā€” whether Supergirl is attacking me out of blind madness, or is itā€” is this attack because whoever these gods are, Iā€™m a threat to them in some way?ā€
Supergirl: ā€œthose Dark Gods ā€¦ tell me you will interfere if you arenā€™t stopped now.ā€
Diana, three pages later: Hey, do youā€¦ do you think itā€™s possible that maybe the Dark Gods are trying to eliminate me because Iā€™m a threat to them or something???
Then this happens, and I literally burst out laughing.
Tumblr media
ā€œYou canā€™t outfight me, Amazonā€” outrun meā€¦ outrun my eyes!ā€
ā€œOUTRUN MY EYESā€. WHAT. EVEN.
Dianaā€™s been grappling with Supergirl for six pages at this point, and the whole time Iā€™ve been mentally yelling at her YOU HAVE. A FUCKING. MAGIC LASSO. THAT BREAKS THROUGH DECEPTION AND ENCHANTMENT, because this is something that Robinson never seems to bloody remember. Diana finally cottons onā€¦ sort of. She ensnares Supergirl with a view to forcing her to confess everything she knows about the Dark Gods.
And, look. Iā€™ll buy that whatever hold the Dark Gods have on people canā€™t be broken by the Lasso, but I donā€™t accept that Diana wouldnā€™t even try it.
Her priorities here are all out of whack. Robinson has Diana give up on trying to save Supergirl the moment her usual (under Robinson) method of firmly telling her foe to snap out of it fails. And, having decided that she canā€™t break through the Dark Godsā€™ control, her very next thought is not to subdue Supergirl and minimise the harm to civilians (theyā€™ve already flown directly through several skyscrapers at this point), itā€™s to pump a still unrestrained Supergirl for information over a crowded city, causing more damage and endangering more lives in the process.
Iā€™m not even exaggerating, because Dianaā€™s every inane thought is there for us to read in Robinsonā€™s narration boxes: ā€œNo use reasoning with her. Need her to tell meā€” I need to knowā€”ā€
Supergirl is caught in the Lasso, Diana commands her to talk about the Dark Gods, and we cut away.
Jason is meeting with the Fates ā€” the Moirai of Greek mythology.Ā  Theyā€™re among my favourite Greek gods, and Robinson could not have written them more obnoxiously.Ā  They speak in turns, finish each otherā€™s sentences and use smug made-up acronyms.
Their character design is utterly boring: three conventionally attractive, young, fashionable, skinny white ladies, one blonde, one redhead, one brunette. Jason says theyā€™re not what he was expecting, and they ask what he was expecting and teasingly shift through a series of forms: a typical depiction of the Moirai, robed and holding a thread between them; a vaguely Scandinavian-looking trio who are clearly intended to be the Norns, aā€¦ trio of seemingly generic East Asian deities???; and the Three Witches of 70s and 80s DC horror comics (best-known today from their part in Neil Gaimanā€™s Sandman).
Tumblr media
This is actually a decent gag in concept, but the execution is sloppy and culturally tone-deaf.Ā  The Fates share some commonalities with the Norns, but theyā€™re not the same goddesses, and they were certainly never adopted by East Asian cultures. The intention seems to be that these three are fate incarnate, the same three goddesses worshipped worldwide under different names and guises. But in implication, that has unpleasant shades of colonialism: it assumes a single Greco-Western conception of fate, ignoring diverse and culturally specific ideas and beliefs about fate and universal order. (Surprise, folks! Your indigenous gods are actually white people in disguise!)
(Edit: Mirrorfalls has pointed out that the thirdĀ shift is the form taken by the Three-in-One in Neil Gaimanā€™s Sandman storyĀ ā€˜The Dream Huntersā€™,Ā something Iā€™dĀ completely forgotten about!Ā I think the criticism still stands: fate and trinities are major recurring themes/motifs in Sandman, and anthropomorphised concepts are a central concern of the comic, so the inclusion of a maiden-mother-crone trio in that story serves as a familiar shorthand for the forces of fate at play. Whereas... there is literally noĀ reason here for Robinson to throw out in a by-the-by that the Greek Fates are everybody else's fate/destiny gods as well, except that he wants to drop yet another smarty-pants reference to comics that are better than his.)
And those two middle shifts arenā€™t even necessary for the joke to work. Arguably itā€™d work better with only the Moirai and the Three Witches, making it purely a play on typical (and stereotypical) depictions of the Fates, without claiming ownership of any other cultureā€™s deities.
Anyway, the Fates say that they look like sexy white ladies because itā€™s the ā€œperfect guise for W.A.M.ā€ W.A.M., Jason asks? ā€œWalking Among Mortals.ā€ Told you they were obnoxious.
Jason wants to know about his super-special magic armour, how he got it and why he has it. He feels like it wasnā€™t even meant for him. ā€œThatā€™s good,ā€ say the Fates, ā€œBecause it wasnā€™t.ā€
Oh good. Finally something we can agree on.
The Fates explain that Zeus, foreseeing the coming of the Dark Gods, created the armour as a weapon against them, to be wielded by ā€œthe hero he considered Earthā€™s greatest championā€. Jason realises theyā€™re talking about Diana, and his face does this.
Tumblr media
So, why did the armour go to Jason, then? Hahaha well it turns out the Greek gods are super sexist.
Tumblr media
ā€œUnfortunately your father died before he could bestow the armour. The rest of the pantheon, wanting to honour his wishes, still retained their ancient views. They assumed Zeus had created the armour for his son,ā€
Okay, few things.
E D I T I N G. ā€œThe rest of the pantheon, wanting to honour his wishes, still retained their ancient views.ā€ Heā€™s trying to say that the gods wanted to honour Zeusā€™s wishes, but, being old-fashioned sexists, assumed the armour was meant for Jason and not Diana. I know that. But this sentence says that the gods wanted to honour Zeusā€™s wishes and so remained old-fashioned sexists. Also, sentences do not end with a comma. Fuckā€™s sake.
If the gods and goddesses of the Rebirth DCU are so unbearably sexist that they think only a man is up to the task of saving the world, why did they create the Amazons (who are themselves the reincarnated souls of women whose lives were lost to the violence of men) to perform the essential task of guarding Aresā€™ prison? Why, when Phobos and Deimos sought to release Ares and envelop the whole world in war, did they command the Amazons to choose a champion to stop them? Why did they bless her with their divine gifts? Under their logic, wouldnā€™t all these jobs be more suited to a man?
(The answer is of course no, because this ā€œancient viewsā€ thing is a total asspull.)
And if the gods did assume that the armour was meant for a son, well, Zeus still has a fair few of them floating around. Apollo, for one. Why would they give it to the incompetent fuck-up who unwittingly helped Darkseid to kill Zeus?
In fact, according to the Fates, Zeus didnā€™t necessarily specify that the armour was for one of his children, just that it was for ā€œthe hero he considered Earthā€™s greatest championā€. Now, youā€™d think it would be pretty hard for the gods to mistake this one: Diana is, after all, their chosen champion, and already blessed with divine abilities. But fine, letā€™s say for argumentā€™s sake that the gods are too sexist to accept this. They consider it for a moment, then scoff, ā€˜He couldnā€™t have meant such a powerful weapon for Diana. Listen, sheā€™s a nice girl and all, but what if sheā€™s on her period when the Dark Gods attack? Who else do we have?ā€™ You canā€™t tell me that Jason was ahead of Superman in the running for ā€œEarthā€™s greatest championā€.
Ultimately, this entire plot hinges on the idea that the gods, forced to choose one of two twins upon whom to bestow the great power and heavy responsibility of defeating their supposed scariest foe, passed over the anointed champion who gave up paradise to help others, who has served the gods faithfully, who has saved the world a hundred times over ā€” passed her over in favour of a self-absorbed, untested, incompetent, glory-seeking fuckup whose only major accomplishment to date is to accidentally help Darkseid murder Zeus, Heracles and a crapton of demigods and heroes.
Tumblr media
So thatā€™s why Iā€™m choosing to believe that the gods all got hammered at Zeusā€™s wake and decided it would be funny to bequeath the armour to the shittest son.
Jason asks if he should give the armour to Diana. He canā€™t, the Fates say; itā€™s bonded with him and nobody else can use it. Oh and PS, heā€™s going to have to learn how to use it fast, because the Dark Gods are already here haha prolly should have led with that.
This would be the perfect opportunity for Jason to ask who and what the Dark Gods are, and maybe how to defeat them, but lol, this is Jason, guys. So of course he races off like an impulsive jackass, knowing nothing about his enemies aside from their collective name.
Speaking of Diana, sheā€™s gotten no answers from Supergirl, who blacked out the moment the interrogation started. Jason catches up with her.
Tumblr media
Jason: DIANA! Iā€™m here!Ā  Diana: Jason, where were you? Jason: With the Fates. They told me about the Dark Gods. Diana: The Fates of Greece? Really?
Diana is contending with a group of adversaries so powerful that theyā€™re inside the heads of tens of thousands of people before theyā€™ve even entered Earthā€™s atmosphere ā€” and sheā€™s just found out that she is the one who summoned them. Sheā€™s failed to get answers from the mind-controlled Supergirl, and time is running out. Then Jason appears claiming to have information about these fast-approaching enemies, and her reaction is, ā€œOMG U MET THE FATES????ā€
Tumblr media
That said, Jason is also a fucking liar.Ā  The Fates told you the Dark Godsā€™ name, Jason. That is not the same as telling you about the Dark Gods. They told you, Zeus made your armour specifically as a weapon against some super baddies called the Dark Gods, and you were like, ā€˜cool, no further questionsā€™.
Thereā€™s another eyeroll moment as Jason pauses mid-rambling-explanation to ask, ā€œHey, where are the Dark Gods, anyway? I expectedā€”ā€
Heā€™s cut off by the arrival of the much-vaunted Dark Gods. Thereā€™s a big dramatic fanfare. Thunder. Lightning. Stormclouds. Tortured facial expressions.
Tumblr media
Followed by this anticlimactic reveal:
Tumblr media
Jason:Ā Theyā€™re monolithsā€¦ but without movement or action.
As opposed to regular monoliths, which as we all know are famously lively and active.
Of course, immediately after Jason says this, theā€¦ giant floaty statue blokesā€¦ start shooting lasers out of their eyes.
Just as Diana seems dangerously close to actually doing something, a couple of Star Sapphires appear and whisk her away.
Tumblr media
Star Sapphires: Wonder Womanā€¦ you must come with us. The Star Sapphires of Zamaron need you. Diana: No, not now, I have toā€”
They vanish with her, leaving Jason alone against the flying rocks, and us with this unpromising promo text:
Tumblr media
NEXT: Follow Wonder Woman and the Star Sapphires as they battle the fate of Zamaron in Wonder Woman Annual #2. Then in issue# 48 see if JASON alone is a match for the DARK GODS!
Iā€™m so mad, guys.
Iā€™m mad because a Wondy/Star Sapphires space adventure is exactly the kind of story I want in my life and I know James Robinson is going to suck all the fun out of it because heā€™s a talentless doorknob.
Iā€™m mad because it looks like weā€™re in for yet another issue of Diana being sidelined while her dumbass brother and her boyfriend take centre stake.
Iā€™m mad because this bookā€™s editors are so intensely apathetic that nobody noticed the two typos in this promo text.
But mostly Iā€™m mad because FUCK FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT THE ANNUAL THATā€™S A WHOLE ā€˜NOTHER COMIC I HAVE TO GET THROUGH GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

Dreamcatcher Dream of US in LA Fanmeet write-up
Hello friends! I have enjoyed reading fanmeet write-ups from others in the past, so I figured that those who werenā€™t able to go might like to give this a read. *Disclaimer* this is ridiculously long, It was actually about twice as long before I condensed and edited. Iā€™ve had a week now to supplement my memory with the fancams and photos that have been trickling out, but I do apologize if Iā€™ve misremembered or left anything out.
I basically jumped at the chance to attend kcon as soon as I read that Dreamcatcher would be there. I was lucky to get some good P1 seats with 2 other kpop-loving friends. At first I was a little bummed that DC was billed as a special guest, which meant they would not be doing any official kcon ā€œartist engagementā€ activities like hi-touch. But then news of their solo LA fan meeting was announced and I was absolutely ecstatic. It just so happened that my flight was scheduled to arrive early enough Friday to make it to the fanmeet venue just in time. Ā On the day tickets were to go on sale, I barely got anything done at work and watched my computer clock like a hawk, refreshing the site every millisecond, ten seconds before ticket sales opened. Fortunately, I was lucky to secure one of the 125 seated spots. This would be my first in-person experience of any kind concerning kpop, so I was insanely excited and simultaneously nervous af.
I arrived at the venue about 15 minutes before it was scheduled to start and saw a decent line around this real hole-in-the-wall looking place. The people in line said it was for the seated spots, which surprised me. I thought there would be more standing than seated positions, but it turns out there were only maybe 10-15 people standing. It was hot as balls out there, and we were standing directly in the sun so we were all quickly drenched in sweat. I learned later that the girls had actually arrived earlier in a black van in front of the venue. I was probably still in transit at that time, but it must have been nice for the fans already standing in line to get that first glimpse of them! When we finally made it inside, the staff checked our names off a list and we were able to sign a giant American flag that the girls would hold later for a group picture. The fans who did not bring their own album to be signed were given a small poster. It was basically free for all seating, I was on the far right side on the last row but no matter ā€“ the venue was small enough to see everything clearly. As soon as I sat down I realized either the A/C wasnā€™t on.. or there was none at all. There were a few floor fans pointed at the stage, but I felt bad for the girls once they entered and I saw they were wearing sorta heavy looking tops L There was a slightly raised wooden stage in the front and a long table for them to sit at. Two tall speakers flanked the stage, but the music later wasnā€™t too loud. The crowd was ethnically diverse and probably around a 50%-50% gender split, proving Dreamcatcherā€™s wide appeal to all sorts of fans. It was however a much older crowd than the average makeup of the kcon attendees, as this was not a boy group.
The girls soon entered, which was such a surreal moment. It was almost like I couldnā€™t believe they were real people ya know? Having only watched them on video, itā€™s more like youā€™re watching a fictional movie sometimes. I know itā€™s clichĆ©, but they really are sooo much prettier in person. I think they did look a little tired and/or nervous, but their smiles were illuminating and they did little fan service gestures whenever possible. They did their standard introduction with JiU speaking the most as leader, with small remarks like how hot it was and that it was nice to meet all of us. I thought Yoohyeon would speak the most, but she was probably nervous to use her English with us. The event went straight into the fan-signing with rows lining up one by one while the crowd was free to take pictures/videos. There are much better quality videos out there from the front, but Iā€™ll post my crappy phone videos in case anyone wants to see from the right-hand perspective. I apologize for any shaking, as tripods were not allowed. The signing was fairly quick, everyone had just about enough time for each of the girls to sign their album or poster and maybe exchange a sentence or two.
I was one of like the last 4 people to go since I was at the back, and by this point my adrenaline was going crazy. Iā€™ve never fainted before, but if there would be a time to, then that would be it. I didnā€™t know if this was strictly allowed, but I did see a few fans high five the members. I refrained however because then that would mean I could never wash that hand (j/k I didnā€™t want any chance of getting kicked out). So I decided to stick to a compliment or two which I had gone over in my head again and again for a few days prior. I wrote down a longer version of what I was going to say on some notes, since thatā€™s all we were allowed to gift the girls. I had also decided to write my notes on origami paper of their favorite colors and fold my notes into paper cranes to stand out, because I am a crazy person. The research (I got their favorite colors from an interview which Iā€™ll post later), the writing, and the folding all took much long than I anticipated which resulted in me only getting 1 hour of sleep Thursday night before my early flight. So this all culminated in a peak state of nervousness. All too soon it was my turn! I wonā€™t go into what exactly I said or what was in my notes, it was just basically a compliment or encouragement. SuA was first, she waved and said hi as I approached. She was consistently the most hyper and playful that day, possibly because it was her birthday. She seemed really genuine too, and seemed the most relaxed I think. Handong was second, she was predictably shy, but was very appreciative of the crane and said it was cute. Her signature is the most unique too. I wrote some really crappy Chinese in my note that I hope she could read haha.. Next was Siyeon, she looked a bit tired, but she was hella pulling off the dark concept look with her black hair and colored contacts. She also spoke a lot of English that day, even if it wasnā€™t complete sentences like Yoohyeon. I think previous reports are accurate too, she was very quirky with her mannerisms. JiU was in the middle, and was positively glowing Ā :O she was smiling pretty much the whole time and I think even picked up the crane and flapped it around a little adorably. It was hard not to grin widely as well the whole time. Idk JiU just has this like unlimited energy that shines no matter how hot or tired she was. I pictured her as like a Super Saiyan or something with her positive aura. Yoohyeon was next and also looked a little tired. But she said a few things in English to me, and had an absolutely gorgeous smile. I havenā€™t 100% settled on a bias yet, but girl makes it hard to not choose her. Gahyeon was 6th and actually was saying a lot of things in English. She also seemed to like the crane a lot and has a really cute smile. Dami was last, and was so cool and reserved. Sheā€™s really good at the appreciative head nod, no wonder she seemed to be the most popular that day. I forgot to tell all of them that the cranes were actually notes they could unfold and read, I may have told 2-3 of them but Iā€™m not sure if they understood. Ah well. The whole signing probably only lasted a couple minutes, but seeing them up close and actually chatting with them is something I will never forget. After the staff also got their signatures, they moved the big table so the girls could perform.
First up was You and I, and boy was it a sight to behold in person. Their movements were so sharp and energetic, and itā€™s probably my favorite choreography of any kpop song. They just lip-synced which is ok, since it let me focus on the dance. Damiā€™s baton reveal probably got the loudest cheer, it was really awesome to see up close, and she does it so nonchalantly. Siyeonā€™s scarf throw also got a loud cheer. SuA definitely had the most powerful dancing, as expected. Ā I didnā€™t know all the fanchants, but the other InSomnias obliged well. The girls sprinkled in little hearts and waves to the audience throughout the performance. Right after, they performed Full Moon, which was a very nice gift to the American InSomnias ļæ½ļæ½:] The chest pumping part probably had the loudest cheers, as it was the fiercest part of the choreo. During Damiā€™s solo rap part, she came up real close and waved to everyone, which also brought lots of cheers. The part where SuA and Handong get dragged across the floor was also popular for some reason. I havenā€™t watched as many fancams of Full Moon, but I really like the choreo, especially Siyeonā€™s parts. She rules that performance with her movements and expressions.
After the performance, the girls played a question and answer game from a board made up of stick notes that the crowd had written earlier (via translator). The first question I think was for SuA to do a solo funny dance. She asked ā€œno music?ā€ and Siyeon tried to do beatboxing and failed hard hahaha. So Yoohyeon sang to and SuA did a short hilarious dance to Dame Tu Cosita before collapsing in embarrassment. It was so adorable XD the 2nd question was what was the girls favorite Dreamcatcher song. SuA said Mayday, and sang her part a bit. The next question was ā€œwhatā€™s it like performing for fans who donā€™t speak Korean and understand the lyrics?ā€ Handong said that there was nonetheless a connection and that she was surprised and thankful that fans still sing along to the songs. SuA also said we felt like family, sister, brother, mother, father.. lol. The next question was what is your favorite choreography/point move? JiU said she likes the ā€œbaby you and Iā€ part of You and I, and Yoohyeon likes the Chase Me part where they grab their hair lol. SuA likes the kiss blowing parts, and Siyeon likes when the members are dragged in Full Moon (probably because itā€™s not her being dragged haha). Then there was a question about superpowers, and Gahyeon said teleportation and JiU said she never wanted to get tired so she could always meet her fans, like the perfect leader she is. Siyeon said ā€œyou already do thatā€ lol. Then Dami was asked how the baton worked, which Iā€™m sure we all have always wondered. Itā€™s basically like a spring-loaded telescoping thing held by a cap. Super cool, and got a resounding applause. Next was one of the more anticipated questions ā€œwhich member would you marry?ā€ and SuA immediately stood up lol. Siyeon took the mic and said JiU, because she makes really cute noises when she sleeps, revealing her creeper status lolol. Siyeon asked ā€œwill you marry meā€ and JiU said ā€œoooh, yesā€ lmao. The next question was who has the best legs, to which Yoohyeon crossed her legs expectantly. But then she said she thought Handong has the best legs and asked her to stand up, which she did! Doing some model poses for us, very uncharacteristically ^^ JiU also said Handong has the straightest legs. Then Dami was asked to do some aegyo! Haha poor Dami, she chose to say ā€œhi, nice to meet you, thank youā€ very adorably. The girls were then asked what songs they listen to in their personal time. SuA is currently obsessed with This is America and did the iconic gun pose lol. Siyeon likes Ariana Grande, and sang some No Tears Left to Cry. They were then asked what artists they want to collaborate with, and Yoohyeon said Day6 which got a big cheer. I also love Day6, and that would be such a match made in heaven! She also beautifully sang a little bit of Letting Go. Siyeon said she wanted to cover Sean Mendes Treat You Better and SuA wanted to do a Taylor Swift song. They were asked about actors they want to meet in LA, and they said the Avengers lol. I think they visited Hollywood Boulevard and said they kinda felt like they met them because there were people dressed up in costumes. Gahyeon also wanted to meet Daniel Henney because he lives in LA. Then JiU said I want to meet my fans with this huge dorky smile lol. The next question was about any future America tour plans, and JiU said of course, and asked us to visit them again next time. They were then asked who their other favorite kpop group was, and JiU said Red Velvet. Yoohyeon asked if she could dance a little bit, so JiU cutely danced to Bad Boy briefly. Siyeon also said KARD. They were asked what their favorite part of LA was, and SuA said she really liked In-N-Out burger and that it was yummy, specifically combo #3 lol. She also wanted to ride rides at Santa Monica and swim, to which Siyeon reminded her that she canā€™t swim lmao. The last question was about their favorite quotes. Damiā€™s motto is ā€œin life there are no answers, so do what makes you happyā€. JiU said ā€œletā€™s live happyā€, which she definitely exudes all the time ^^. Also that we were all beautiful and smart enough, so to live a happy life. Yoohyeon said that her mom always said to her ā€œif you have a dream, imagine it will happen, and it will beā€. Lastly, the girls took a group photo with all three of the sections, holding the American flag we signed earlier. JiU closed out with thanks and a promise they would see us again. SuA said thank you for celebrating my birthday, and Handong said thank you for your passion. Then the staff brought out a birthday cake and we surprised SuA by singing happy birthday. She looked so happy the entire time, and Ā even did a little moonwalk haha. Dami did one last tour around the crowd waving to everyone, and that was it.
And the rest of the weekend was downhill! J/k the kcon stages were amazing, and I saw them again multiple times at the convention, but the fanmeet was of course the highlight of the trip. As my first in-person kpop experience, this will definitely be hard to top. I vaguely wondered before the fanmeet if finally meeting them in person would diminish my perfect image of them in my head, but actually the opposite is true. Now they feel like real people I know, which just makes me like them even more. I was also very proud of the American InSomnias, everyone was respectful, there were no crazy incidents, no one had to be thrown out by security, it just went as smooth as can be. I also want to thank 7-dreamers for organizing this whole thing, and for the smooth operation. I could talk forever about my experiences, but I will end it here. Maybe Iā€™ll do a write-up of the convention and concert if anyoneā€™s interested? Thanks for reading!
