#and this isn’t promo it’s just a bts pic/ video

I’m connecting the dots.

[taekooktimeline]

Okay so, that's not exactly a question related to taekook, but, I was curious to know: how did both of you decided to make a timeline and to work together to do it? How did you two met? Sorry if it's too personal!

Sara: Hi ! You’re so cute. It’s not a very personal story :P Back in April I was writing under a tweet about some Taekook-related theories of mine. Kayla then popped up and we started a conversation. Here is the thread although I changed some of my opinions after further research (like the gcf topic): https://twitter.com/taeggukstime/status/1252218411771453441?s=21. It eventually led us into DM’s to discuss things further in a private setting. We talked a looot as we tried to figure out Taekook’s relationship evolution and it led us to some conclusions. Kayla then thought it was a good idea to immortalize it by creating a little Timeline so I agreed to do it because she was very sweet and articulated, a huge taekooker and I enjoyed talking with her, although I had doubts about it because I didn’t want to spend too much time on something that I thought nobody would read. I’ve always been happy being an observer that didn’t really engage with the fandom other than voting, going to concerts and such. My experience was more so between me & BTS and I felt iffy about fandom interaction because I saw all the drama and I’m not a social person (I used to have huge social anxiety and can take a month to reply to a real life friend’s text). Kayla told me she was in contact with a youtuber and would get us promo but for some reason I still didn’t think people would be interested. Anyhow, we initially made a 10 page long document on Word with no pictures that covered the entire 7 years �� That was the very first version of what it is today and it was simply a basic explanation of our take on their evolution with some important mentions instead of a compilation of moments. It turned out that we still had like a couple of months until Peach started making her video so we began including more “mentions” of moments that supported the theory and it basically got out of hand to the point that we were rushing to cover the maximum amount of moments before the day of promo. I was so stressed that I was basically eating once a day for a while. You know that finding a single tricky date in which something was filmed can take me 6 hours straight or a couple days? Just the date. Sometimes I have to resort to looking at their earrings as the last option because we had to know the exact order to some key events. Mind you, this was during total lockdown so I had stopped working and couldn’t leave my house even if I wanted to. Luckily we had greater success than I expected even if we aren’t huge influencers and I’m extremely happy that people take the time to read such a long document and furthermore helps them find comfort or they find it eye-opening. Thank you for your appreciation!! 💜

Kayla: hello! This isn’t personal at all! In fact, I’m touched you’d like to know more about us ☺️can you believe I’ve never met Sara in real life? We’re in different countries, an ocean away. I love our synergy so much and the power of technology amazes me. We make a great team. As Sara said, we met through Twitter. I was looking up info on various topics and she was so helpful and answered. We were talking publicly and I asked if I could DM her to discuss further. Within DMs we started organically brainstorming a timeline of TK’s relationship and then I thought we did such a good job we should immortalize it. Peachlesslyyy is an amazing TK YouTube account, who I consider a friend, and I’ve supported her account since before it really took off (and wow has her account grown! She deserves all the love and support). Before my anxiety got the best of me, I’d interact more freely in YT channels, especially in Peach’s YT account because she’s a great moderator whose followers are fantastic at brainstorming and debating respectfully. And at one point I mentioned Sara and I were drafting a timeline. People were interested in seeing it and Peach generously offered to share it on her community tab. She was planning to make a timeline video so it was perfect timing to share what we were seeing. Our little Word doc without pics suddenly evolved to host pics and links to moments, and transitioned to google docs where we could more easily edit. We quickly hurried to add as much as we could. Peach never rushed us but since people were eager we hurried to get it out, which meant the original doc didn’t cover nearly the amount it does now. As you can see in “recent additions”, so much has been added since we unlocked the doc for public viewing. And we hope to add more when we have time! We have quite a bit pending in our private brainstorm doc to review as we can. There’s definitely quite a bit to add ☺️anyway, we never expected the timeline to get the traffic it did and it just blossomed from there, with us adding more moments, updating as we can and creating a tumblr that's more user friendly, while still updating google docs (and it’s all thanks to Sara for finding tumblr and figuring out the nuances of it). Now that we don’t have time constraints, we can review moments at our own pace, around our personal lives, and we can use raw links vs analysts videos as much as possible (or raw + analyst -if we want a moment slowed down or zoomed in then an analyst channel helps greatly, even if we don’t endorse said channel being used). Nona Pocha is also another TK YouTube account who I consider a friend, and who helped promote the timeline when we got it transitioned to tumblr. She has been a great supporter who has cheered us on. I’m incredibly grateful to both for giving our timeline the promotion to grow and reach other taekookers. It helped so much. And I’m just beyond shocked and grateful for the love and support we get for this timeline. Hearing it’s logical and objective, full of love and respect to all members, and is a source of comfort / eye opening is amazing feedback that touches me. Hearing people are recommending it is heartwarming. This is our baby but it's a labor of love. It takes a lot of effort to keep it up and be as objective as possible (which requires a lot of reviewing of the footage then back checking each other). The support truly is the motivation to keep going, knowing people care to hear our thoughts. So thank you for being a supporter and reader💜

Magnum P.I. S02xE18-20 spoilers and tidbits

I thought i’ll give a prologue first 😅 Remember i pet project where i was trying to decipher the episode names? yea i didn’t get very far on that.. but i have come to a conclusion, that each title is a convention for what the clients in that episode, and/or our P.I. is going through. Eg. S02xE16 : Farewell To Love

Episode starts with Gladys and Bert who had given up on love but eventually found it in one another. The fact that Gladys narrated this part makes it poetic in a sense that she was the one who had to say bid farewell to Bert.Then TC and Teresa, they found the one that they always loved. The one who made them happier, but TC had to let her go go, he bid farewell to his love, instead of ruining 3 lives.In the beginning of the episode, we see magnum all in for online dating, but after what happened with Dylan, we see him coming to an abrupt conclusion that online dating is just isn’t the thing for him, also adding to the fact, the girl who met through an app (Abby) had just recently broken off with him. So magnum kind of bid a metaphorical farewell to finding love online.

Spoilers for S02x18, S02x19 and S02x20 under the cut if you wish to continue. Warning: My rant got hella long, longer than i planned and there are lots of pics and links below. Thanks @maggiesoa​ and @lizzysfavs​ for providing some food for my thoughts  😊

So.. lets begin with S02x18 : A world of trouble I’m just grouping together the pics that I’ve found so far which seem to be related to episode 18: Perdy and Bobby discussed about having a scene together ignore jay’s comment here, I’m all for #TeamJin and I will riot if they ever kill him. I believe the episode starts with Jin, showing up at Robin’s nest, where he ends up in a situation where he has to change in magnum’s clothes (note the t-shirt magnum is ironing... (Edit: DIDN'T HAPPEN!!?? I MEAN!! This could have been cute.. didn't have to be a total BTS for once!!) Where we get this scene, All i can guess right now is that is a tab in Jin’s had, and he’s being a fair judge for miggy while they prepare for their visa interview, or he could be here with today’s case

Which takes us to to the primary promo for 2x18, where they solve the case at hand. Now my guess is that the case doesnt take up entire 47 minutes, because this promo also exists. What this secondary promo also shows is them at a office(?) guessing visa or may be its a school where the current client works? where magnum/higgy blurts out that they’re marrying and some lady says that they don’t look like a couple. We also see Katsumoto warning Higgy about the consequences of marrying their business partner. (Edit: this did happen and fueled Higgy’s resolve to back out.. nothing wrong there..but as Jin said.. may it be with Magnum or TC, u’re still breaking the law Mrs. I can figure out how pretending with TC is going to get good results? if anything.. it only comes out of nowhere) I’m sensing a connection here again with the title of the episode: A world of trouble:  - The current client, the case was definitely given to them by some one else because they approach the lady coz Higgy says “You’re in trouble, we just want to help you.”, which means she might have refused help at one point. - Literally 2 people in a 2 min worth promo have commented on their wedding, does this not sound like trouble to you?

When magnum is possibly heading out to go to La Mariana, (Edit: DING! DING! DING! This was indeed before the bar scene.. which kinda broke my heart.. but we’ll talk about that in detail later) she tells him that she’s reconsidered her decision that she will be marrying TC instead (which is weird, but for the sake of it, OK). Which also implies that she’s going to have a heart to heart with TC how she had one with Rick before in 2x13. (Edit: Umm.. i would have liked to hear the entire convo here.. but i guess its going to come back a flashback some day?) Magnum than heads to the bar, with Jin where he meets up with his friends and we get this, going by past experiences, this is going to be the last scene where he’s with his friends. Now what leaves me confused is this guy below, the one that magnum rescued and now has a food truck (Rem S1x01, they got him all the way from there now). He’s not listed for 2x18, but the actors caption says 2x18? So is he like the caterer for the wedding? (i thought kamekona was doing that?) or he’s there for entirely other reason?

Now this all leads up to S02x19 :  May The Best One Win Again the title is the synopsis here,

Magnum and Higgins are each hired by a different spouse who are in the middle of a contentious divorce to dig up dirt on the other, and Thomas and Higgins soon find themselves competing over resources. 

But i don’t think them competing again each other is the only thing here, remember this gem from TV guide magazine? - Jay mentions there being an odd jealousy there, and there is something percolating between the duo which magnum doesn’t want to address just yet. I think the competition is not just between Magnum and Higgy, for magnum it is also between him and TC. May be he’ll be still trying to show her that he is the one she should be marrying, even if that’s fake.  - And for the implied element we also have this garage fight, where they’re up against “just one guy, but a very big guy”. This again i don’t think takes forever to solve since, there’s an upcoming wedding everyone has to attend, we’ve all seen the famous pics, but this:

Him again!! And looks like he is in fact catering the event. Now since S02x19 and S02x20 are to be merged into one mega episode, lets slip into: S02x20 :  A Leopard on the Prowl 

Magnum and Higgins help Rick when his father figure, Icepick , just out of prison and battling terminal cancer, gets double crossed on one last score. Also, Magnum makes one last bold move to help Higgins stay in the country.

This is the rick centric episode the viewers were promised, Adding pics of Zac coz he looks great here:

But do you see anything missing here? My sleep deprived brain does. Icepick seems to be have fallen pray to something on the run, nothing pre-planned, the guy has terminal cancer, he’s dying any day now, why would someone spend any time to plan something against him? (He’s probably going to die in this epi..he only had few months.. the article says “reluctantly try to help him” seriously guys why do you have to be reluctant? And below pic is probably of the same related fight scene Jay talked about in the TV guide snippet:

And if the video Jay uploaded is even close to the actual scene, it could be because the guy hit Rick/Higgy and Magnum picked up another fight with him.. or that’s just for insta.. I’ll leave it open. There’s a fight scene with TC as well i suppose. Now what does the title have to do with the episode? Here’s my theory: - Remember Dr. Kim i already mentioned twice above. He’s gotta be here for more than just “catering the wedding”, magnum said he was a code breaker, he was mentioned in one of Robin’s books, he instantly identified the co-ordinates which Nuzzo left for Magnum, (which is duh!  u’re telling me that magnum was a navy SEAL and can read waves but cant piece together actual co-ordinates?!!). Magnum was kidnapped by Ivan’s people coz he needed something from him which was in the books, later Ivan had magnum delivered to himself on a secret mission of retrieving Hayek, who was a weapons dealer but he got away with drones instead.. I think this is all related somehow, there has to be something in this episode that points to this.. I thought may be its in Robin’s books.. but they have never mentioned the same book twice.. I’m still looking for answers though.. But going ahead, see this ,

“ Magnum makes one last bold move to help Higgins stay in the country.” “You see Higgins in a unexpected position, which magnum is very uncomfortable with and where he is not sure about his place”

Soo.. the wedding didn’t happen? So that’s not helping her stay in the country? 

It didn’t bother me much before.. but think about this, what if since the wedding plan backfired, she has to go back to London until her visa is renewed/reapplied for : an unexpected position since she has found something in Hawaii she doesn’t want to loose. Which leaves magnum as the in-charge of Robin’s nest and Zeus and Apollo and part of the deal [I can almost see my HC at the horizon]. An uncomfortable position where he has to manage the estate and the hounds of hell without his “professional better half”. I think there is a beach good-bye scene on this day, may be an actual hug between miggy? Supporting evidence as follows:

Now the last attempt Magnum makes, does he offer her a job? Does he confess? But that wouldn’t automatically land her in an unexpected situation , that would be magnum putting her in that situation while being full aware of his position. I bet lenkov has got pretty good plan for this to play out. Now this doesn’t back up my crack where Higgins leaves, because

This story was posted along with the one where magnum is boating.. so they’re probably from the same episode.. where the last ditch effort has paid off but Magnum and Higgins roles have now been shifted a little and lenkov’s quote makes sense “Nothing really changes”.. has anyone ne noticed that there are no Juliet pics from 2x20 yet? 

I cant wait to see that though.. and for a 100% i know there is a season 3, its a gut feeling i have. Thank you for stopping by.. sorry it was too long  😘

[bisluthq]

What's up with this obsession about her "stepping back"? lol. The girl is young, loves fame, money and attention. Evermore, above everything, is heavy grammy promo, something she is obssessed about. Her getting tired of playing the tabloid game does not mean she wants to retire.

Yeah I hear you. But idk if she loves... fame... I think partly we’re going off songs like The Lucky One, the lakes and happiness through my lens, as well as the bajillion times she has fetishized middle class things (“I rent a place” and “motel bar” and treating Don Perignon as a treat when it obvi isn’t in her own life) and also the ways she has portrayed fame in her MVs and the stuff she said about pics of herself in MA.

I personally think she loves making music and creating things - videos, merch, etc. She also for sure loves critical accolades and career milestones. She’s definitely ambitious.

But idk if she loves fame in the way that like... Kim K does lmao. Or Klossy for that matter.

And again I don’t think anyone is really saying she’d retire, just that she might pivot to other activities. Or she might not. I’ve always said I don’t think she’d ever stop making music.... but she might do more BTS stuff too.

[1ddiscourseoftheday]

Thurs 19 Sept 1/2

Liam was papped, Liam is liking fanart, Liam is trying to make nice with angry BTS fans (baby no just back away), Liam is ...shirtless in a major department store? Yes, promo continues, and the startling sight of him hanging out signing things shirtless at Bloomingdale's is just the tip of the iceberg. What is going on? Grindr knows what's going on: they shared his nude from yesterday to much enthusiasm from their followers. Liam did put a shirt on for the actual event (a shirt a size too small but a shirt nonetheless) and met and greeted many fans, some of whom look like they may be fans of his work on Grindr and I'm sure appreciated the tight shirt. He spoke about the 1DFansGive charity drive and about writing down his angry responses to media garbage to get it out but then keeping it to himself rather than engaging (probably should try this with BTS stans also), he says if he could have dinner with three celebrities it would be Harry Niall and Louis, he says again that he doesn't worry about competing with the other boys cause they're doing different things, and he says he has loads of things he isn't supposed to tell people which is certainly true but specifically he means upcoming projects and says he's maybe gonna have a fragrance coming out soon like babe. Slow down. And also a fragrance seriously what year is it?

Niall is rightfully proud of his team winning the PGA yesterday, and looks exuberantly happy in the many fan pics from the event, and his Glass magazine article is out! There are lots of model!Niall (is there any other kind?) pics, including a terrific black and white one of him showing lots of ankle and holding a guitar, and lots of music talk. He talks about songwriting process, saying it's "music first than melody", and "I... start singing a melody or a lyric I’ve written and try matching some chords up to it." (NGL I find that confusing but that's what it said.) He talks about the traditional Irish music influence on his songs ("the 6/8 patterns are something that I can pick up a guitar and play on a regular basis. You’ll hear it in songs like Paper Houses [and] On My Own") and about new material says "my first album, apart from say Slow Hands, was singer-songwriter/ folky pop. This next stuff is a mix of rock pop and then the folky ballads," and about NTMY "I’ve been playing around with some cool sample sounds and guitar sounds lately, so yes, expect big drums and crazy guitar."

We also saw Harry today! In a parking lot in LA! With the girl that groped his crotch onstage! Wow awesome. Extra charming: her going on about how hard it was on her to be criticized for assaulting someone and how grateful she was to have the chance to be absolved by his kind words. I shudder to think what that conversation was and can only hope against hope that he didn't realize that's who she was though I'm sorry to say that in the video it really does look like he's told and takes a big unhappy looking step back. ANYWAY we hear HS2 is "on the way and he hopes we like it," and he looks great! Nice bear on his t shirt! Impressive stubble! Cute new haircut! Lots and lots of pictures of him wearing his pink velvet flares (which were recently mentioned in his Vanity Fair best dressed piece!) New gucci memoire pic today too! Cool!

It’s the people who say SC are the happiest around each other that puzzle me the most. When we see S and C they are in public, mostly working. That is not what they are like at home. So how do we know what truly makes them happy? I’m going to take a wild guess that it isn’t these promo events. Plus in all of those Tait examples, she is still working. It’s not real life. The times we have seen Tait together with friends in Ireland, Australia, etc, they do seem happy and carefree.

Okay we gotta admit there's a lot of room for more Tait couple PDA in their footage. If she had treated him like a boyfriend in public in any of those instances you mention many of us wouldn't have been here in the first place. There would have been no room for doubts. The most incriminating of those all is the flute video cause she was sitting on his lap while everyone else had their own place.

Now it's true most were work events so maybe if he's in fact her assistant he was playing that role and not the one of SO.

But let's focus on SC. As you say most of their footage is for show. Where folk get all their hearteyes and dirty bantering is all in public. Then you get 2 candid pics of them and nothing, standing apart like strangers. Then you have the bts with Catalina hugging Rolando like she hugged Tobias.

So I really don't understand the "it's there" or "it's just not there" arguments they use with the kind of footage we get.

[clarkgriffon]

ok enough is enough. this hiatus has been so!!!! boring!!!! like i get not wanting to spoil something but are you seriously telling me there’s NO spoiler-free content they could give us??? it doesn’t even have to be s7 ffs maybe give us a deleted scene or some bts from an old season? a promo video like the s5 one that hints but doesn’t give anything important away? something? anything? and to make it worse corona happened so there aren’t even any cons going on to give us crumbs. ugh!

yeah... it’s interesting for sure. the one thing i will say is that the premiere is significantly later than it has been the past two seasons (late may rather than late april), so i understand why new content isn’t coming out hard and fast yet. however, yeah there usually are drops at cons or BTS pics that are shared more during hiatus time.

they were relatively tight-lipped about season 6 up to about a month until it aired, so i suspect a similar trajectory here. 

then with the covid-19 thing, they just barely squeaked by finishing filming, so it’s probably a stressful time for a lot of the cast and crew. where we’d usually get con info and things around this time, that’s all cancelled, so it feels even drier this hiatus than usual.

i think one of the most interesting things about them being tight-lipped is that we actually already know quite a bit about the season? being that: A) they go into the anomaly B) they planet hop (via spoiler queen Marie) and C) sheidheda is still alive in the anomaly somewhere (via Jroth’s post-S6 interview). Like do we know the character trajectories? No. But plotwise we aren’t clueless.

I’m guessing the trailer drops 3-4 weeks before the season premieres, and that’s when we get the surge of info on S7.

[cali-holland]

just genuinely curious and asking cuz I’m not even sure dude. why do u think that Shawn and camila’s relationship is fake? I don’t even know what to think of it lol

Ok so just for the record, I was (still am) a directioner and that fandom exposed me to the ins and outs of fake relationships- most of my “knowledge” comes from that.

I don’t know if it’s fake or not. I want Shawn to be happy, and, if he’s happy with Camila, then he’s happy with her and I’m happy for him. It’s his life and I shouldn’t dictate his choices. No matter what, he still chose her in a way.

I think it might be fake just because of how things are set up. First of all, Senorita became the song of the summer and them having a summer fling (turned relationship) after its drop is a bit curious. They also had a lot of public outings in early July, and they’re totally allowed to do that but it was odd since most celebrity couples don’t get papped so frequently (for instance, I feel like I’ve seen wayyy more shawn & camila pics than taylor & joe pics). The other day, they released the rehearsal video (which was basically the same as the bts video, but whatever) and then they were papped together again. Today, they have new merch out and suddenly they’re papped together. The timing makes it seem fake, just all of the senorita promo immediately followed by papparazzi pics.

Honestly, I think Shawn and Camila have had a thing for each other in the past like with I know what you did last summer.

It’s totally up to you if you believe them or not. I won’t specifically say if I believe it or not because of the timing and also because I just want Shawn to be happy. It’s his life, and I’m just here to support him- who he decides to date or “date” is his business and not mine.

{As a disclaimer though, I kinda don’t like Camila and I haven’t liked her since 5h started, but me not liking her isn’t going to stop me from supporting Shawn for being with her. If she makes him happy, then that’s okay with me.}

[migleefulmoments]

The whole "His team is stopping/forcing him" trope is proof they have no concept of the entertainment industry. Darren's team consists of manager-publicist-stylist, none of which would have a job with him if he wasn't actively engaged in that type of work. They make and project his celebrity branding, not him as a person per se. Darren owns TSG, his team have nothing to do with promoting it or making it successful, that's on Darren, Mia and staff. Anything personal in on Darren, NOT his team.

You’re spot on.  What gets me is that DARREN is the BOSS. He hires his team- his manager, PR, stylist, agent, lawyers, accountants etc to work FOR him, to promote his business which is his own skills as an actor, singing, writer, performer, and host. But he also does a lot of producing and that is something that takes a lot of time and isn’t Instagram worthy. His team works WITH him on those projects as well. Ricky is a co-producer for Elsie every year.  

The point is that his team doesn’t own him, the team isn't the central figure and Darren simply hired to work for them. Darren is the CEO and Head of Human Resources for Darren Criss Inc. From various articles I have read, he also does a lot of the secretarial and assistant work himself. All the departments at Darren Criss Inc. report to Darren Criss. Full Stop. The team is put in place to advise him on the various areas in which they are experts, they don’t have a master plan and pull Darren’s puppet strings.  

The ccers have a trope about Ricky having Darren’s Power of Attorney (POA) which he misuses. They claim that Ricky signs contracts for shows and #ads that are harmful to Darren’s career. Because -once again -an unreachable contract is involved, Darren is “forced” to fulfill the contracts for whatever work Ricky can find that both hurts Darren and gives Ricky great work. Their main complaint is that the work is far beneath his 4x-award-winning skills. In other words, Ricky is forcing Darren to do projects that are far OFF of the yellow brick road to the A-list. Why you might ask, would Ricky do this when his income is dependent on Darren being successful? The ccers claim that he does this both out of spite-you know just to terrorize Darren- and his own short-sighted greed. He’s aiming for “all the money he can get” from Darren AND as the same time trying to ruin Darren before Darren fires him. But lawyer Abby knows this isn’t how POAs work. It’s either a gross mischaracterization or an outright lie. Google it for yourself.  A POA holder MUST do what is in the best interest of the person who gave the power.  This isn’t ambiguous. You aren’t allowed to just wreck havoc on someone’s life because they trusted you with their POA. Ricky has Darren’s POA for Darren’s convenience- so that Ricky can sign contracts and make deals without Darren having to be present to sign, but make no mistake, Darren is making the final decision. 

The other trope that makes me shake my head is the idea that Ricky is “forcing” Darren to do #Ads so that Ricky can get paid. Is Darren so stupid that he gave his manager a bigger cut of his income than he gave himself? Cuz that would make him a spineless twit. Come on, we all know that Darren is making the more money than Ricky is. I don’t actually believe all of the #ads are ads. Some are just people promoting their products they worked with Darren on the wedding- most makers and small businesses do that now -like it’s a “thing” on Facebook and Instagram.  Some are just # because it’s nice to link things that you love and some are ads. Who cares? It’s income. It’s his prerogative to support brands he loves. 

Darren isn’t a feckless idiot who can’t get his own life under control. In their haste to effort to rewrite history to delete all things Darren says that do not support crisscolfer, they have created a character who looks nothing like the Darren Criss we all see OR the Darren Criss they pretend to see. It’s like they can’t put the entire picture together.  Just a few nice comments about Darren from today: 

RE: His “bar baby” and a place he described as a long dream of theirs , and where his friends and interviewers have referred to “Darren’s bar” . 

klainecentric

I’ve always said, that place is just place for their own personal piss up, drug sniffing, vagina rubbing strip joint use. Just a place as a hang out for them and their “friends” and maybe on the odd occasion look like she has a job at her one convenience but never actually work, just drink what little if any profit they make which will be nil……and stand around a piano, block the view from patrons who pay to get in and torture them with whatever song she may screech out…my bet it’ll be “what’s up”…I could go on but its just too infuriating. Rant over.

About the CHARITY fundraiser Darren attended 

ajw720

Compare videos from last night to videos of Wednesday night.  Granted on Wednesday the entertainment sucked and on Thursday there was talent, but still, it is all about D bringing the people.

It totally erased for me that he went to a cool event. The event was chosen over We Day as it was a better opportunity to market the strip joint. Plain and simple.  There is NOTHING i can enjoy about D and 2019.  It is an utter shitshow and even the few good things are absolutely connected to bad starting with awards season.

ajw720 (about a photo of Darren on the red carpet with Bob Saget aka no Mia in sight)

An angel got her wings again:)

leka-1998

Of course, the man who swept award season should absolutely continue to be the piano man for a bar he doesn’t own and she got bored with a long time ago. At some point you should admit you failed. No matter how much D promotes this place, 1) it should be shut down by the department of health and 2) nobody cares about the place if he isn’t there.

Anonymous asked:

Thank god his I'm straighter than straight mate Ben is there 😒

I laughed when I saw the pic. BF and his wife are absolutely being pushed as the straight friends.

Wonder if they too went to the strip joint after.

emmywinnercriss

Remember when Computer Games had a club and you would get exclusive BTS for being in the club?

Yeah, what happened?

ajw720

Apparently nothing.

ajw720

Looks like a fun event. Still a one off thing. That’s the pattern.

And ofc he ended the night at the strip joint. So clearly the price of doing something semi fit him his promo for that place.

klainecentric

Can we just stop with all this BS now, I’m so sick of waking up in the morning and seeing “if it’s even possible” more crap involving this sham relationshit, and that whore house of a strip bar, I feel like I can safely say D’s career is almost officially up the shitter. Maybe not quite there yet but it’s heading there real fast. I can no longer scroll through SM without it being flooded with this sham. No where is safe that is a place to just revel in the joy that is just D and his talent. Looks like team shit is getting what they want…..to leech, to hog and to ruin a man’s career as it was getting off the ground. Bravo.

That is just one post from last night and the rest from today. They hate Darren and can’t see through their bullshit clearly enough to realize it. The fandom has no where to go but down into hell even farther. They are so caught up in anger, hate, misogyny there is no redemption. They even made fun of Ashley Weston for having an allergic reaction to something.  

If they are ACTIVELY and aggressively stalking Mia on social media, they gonna find her. They are want to be filled with hate.

Tired of Outlander Drama

I’ll always have the books, which I love, even though DG is problematic as hell. I’ve been here for years. Sam’s casting? I had doubts (this guy? really?...But that “Come on, Sassenach” in the promo was pretty good. Really good.) and Cait? (I thought, “she’s too tall” but then I heard her answer Dougal’s question: “what’s your name lass?” “Claire. Claire Beauchamp” and she was Claire to me. When J&C had their first stand off after she ran away from the highlanders, S&C embodied J&C, for me. “I Guess then that means you’re comin’ w’ me.” Yeah, they got it right. Didn’t we all fall in love with them? I did. I freaking loved it all. Isn’t fandom freakin’ great? I’ve been on every FB group out there (ousted out of the big, nefarious one for talking back to the asshole in charge-kiss my arse, weirdo). I’ve left most of the groups because all they post is Jamie coming out of the Mill Pond. I like to see the BTS Shots. The first time I thought there was something interesting going on between S&C was the pic of them on a horse and he’s talking in her ear and she’s laughing. Hmmm. What’s this? Then the sexy photo shoots. Heart eyes and fingers entwined around awards and C wearing 2 gold rings and their hands joined impossibly together on an antler behind them in a bar? Why do they do this stuff? (I’m just imaging things, right?) 

So yeah, it was fun to follow, for awhile. S&C were certainly having a lot of fun. That ping pong paddle Q&A? “You are!”” You are!. “She’s got wifi on set, she’s got wifi in the make up chair....” They were adorable, unfettered, and joyous. We have not seen that version of S&C in a long while. What happened? It just abruptly stopped. The last SDCC? Painful. People love that Josh Horowitz fake therapy session thing? I think it’s forced and weird. The last FB live! thing? Sam and his lame phallic innuendo? Nope. 

Anyway, I don’t post much but I read everything. On both sides.  Here’s what I think: The anti’s, NST’s, whatever they call themselves are comprised of two levels. The first is an all out PR assault to dissuade people from thinking S&C are together and encourage (through long, lengthy, posts and CAPS, and FACTS, etc.) people to consider another story line. When someone bites, they get rewarded. “Thanks for your input, @blandfollower” or they share the screencaps that thirsty followers submit to “turn in shippers”. Bloggers get a rush from the recognition, they are part of the shake down and keep contributing. It’s an all out war for fandom truth. It’s droll, boring, tedious, and uninspiring. Shippers are the other side. These are primarily women who want to believe in hetero love. That’s not wrong. When I see C hugging S in that chemistry test video I imagine vividly what he feels like, what he smells like. Yes, the pheromone theory certainly applies here. He is a gorgeous man. She is a gorgeous woman. Wanting there to be something between them is natural for some people. If you spoon feed people (women) this romance they will buy it because if you are a cis hetero woman this feels good. You want more of it. S&C and their little videos talking about “do you believe in love at first sight?”, and “ “He’s perfect” and ”So is she” perpetuate the idea of the ultimate heterosexual love and they capitalized on that every step of the way. Think of C feigning jealousy over other “actresses!” Why did she do that? Act jealous of KDS during interviews? It’s all PR.  All of that was designed, maybe innocently in the beginning, to draw us in, and then it abruptly stopped. The IFH and all that came with it followed. I don’t have an answer for this. I can’t see T putting his high heeled foot down and saying “no more! She is my woman!” Gah, come on. No matter how many photos of “Tony’s Greatest Hits” are blogged it doesn’t create chemistry. I don’t know what this engagement is but it is weird. As weird as S being in love with a young, conservative, woman who lives thousands of miles away. All of it is PR lies, initiated by Starz and fed through the PR feed hole and propagated by various blogs. Here is what I’ve pondered on regarding people needing the support of a team mate. I had a male co-worker I loved very much. We hugged when things were tough, he was always there for me when I needed anything. He could tell if my mood changed and he wanted to help me sort things out. He was engaged to his girlfriend. He was just a good guy.

That’s what I think Sam is. Just a good, attentive, sweet, masculine (in his own way) kind of guy who offers his large shoulders to lean on for warmth or support. S&C just want to enjoy the fun that is acting. So, they played it up. They saw the hungry women for J&C and they played into it because it was good for the show and good for them and so many of us got caught up in the ride.

Think of what S&C had to deal with when OL first came out. Their first fan event was like “whoa! where did that come from?”. If I had a solid dude to hang on to during something like that I would have stayed close as possible at all times. They have obviously been each other’s champions in all of this from the start. They bonded from the very beginning. They held on to each other as best friends throughout all of this craziness but they went too far with innuendo to sell the show, DVDs, cons, etc. (“hope you find your own sassenach”)  It got out of hand and then they had to shut it down. IFH, bearding, Shatner, increased Tumblr opposition, photo ops, pap walks. I’m not going to say much about the whole Shatner thing because I think “JMIAD” had that nailed down with her Camuso post. His part in celeb PR is not exclusive to OL, he’s been trashing celebs and fandoms for years. It’s repulsive and is PR at it’s worst. 

But that is how we get our Outlander information now, through PR. PR on TW, JJ, Daily Mail. Fan interaction is shut down. The most popular OL blog has been silenced. You know everyone checked Jess’s blog everyday. Jess was pushed out by aggressive PR that bullied her and her followers. That is how I see it. That is what I have observed. It was shut down to stop the S&C are together story line but it also shut down a huge portion of the fandom. Who cares anymore? These new story lines that CO and Purv are AGGRESSIVELY pushing (see the caps for emphasis? That makes it TRUE!) are boring. Uninspired. They push their story lines so hard it makes me want to take off the painful shoes I’m not wearing. Why are your trying so hard??? I suspect you’re being paid so if you can’t take a break from your PR nonsense just know that there are loads of people who see your “doth protest too much” machinations, and most people think you’re way overselling. And also, yawn. I’ve been gaslighted. I thought about all the times I was accused of “being crazy” because I felt strongly about something my husband couldn’t understand and I thought about my experience in the OL fandom. I’m a fan of many things but this is the first time I engaged online with other fans. What makes it confusing is that in the beginning it was an organic experience, and it was all new for them, That’s why it felt personal for so many people. But assholes overstepped boundaries and fans got weird. People with too much time on their hands ruined this fandom and it was all blamed on shippers because it was the easiest, most effective way to shut down relationship talk. The talk that production and the actors perpetuated for years. S&C are friends but lead people to believe it was something more and then chastised those fans for believing the bullshit they were served up. It’s abusive. Anytime you tell someone they don’t feel what they feel, that is abuse. 

TL:DR S&C aren’t a romantic couple. They played it up for years because it sold the show. They aren’t into each other romantically but they love and look after one another. People read into it because people want to believe in the power of love...but love comes in many forms. It doesn’t have to be between a man and a woman and it doesn’t have to be romantic. Production exploited our emotions; S&C exploited our emotions and I’m just sitting here thinking: I’m sure they will enjoy their next holiday. In the meantime, I’ve cancelled Starz. Cheers! Ach, what shite.

[manders1984]

I’ve seen a post shading my sweet Suhaila re: SM interaction/promo—I just have to say NO Sam and Cait aren’t responsible for promotion, but they DO play a major role in it. It’s their show too. It’s not too much to ask them to have more enthusiasm or drop a couple BTS pics or overheard on sets every now and then. They can sprinkle in some show-related tweets with their charity tweets. 

Today was awesome! It is quite possible to be excited as well as annoyed that they don’t do this stuff more often. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. Just because the tenor of this post may at first seem annoyed, I enjoyed and was excited about today. I loved getting to see Sam and Caitriona in costume with all of the cuteness and the other cast members who just infuse this ho-hum production with some energy. The wigs are different story (this show’s hairstyling is TRAGIC). Also, I’m afraid Turtle Soup is going to be the new Honeypot. Let’s tread lightly there, folks.

But it’s like whenever we get the tiniest of crumbs people forget the months of radio silence and side-fuckery and think they’re so generous and magnanimous, when for lots of other shows this is pretty basic and normal stuff. I’m not asking for a video everyday. Or anything everyday. But you’ve been filming since last August, can I get something that isn’t of a sunset, especially with an underlying tone of MBR’s martyring/patronization? Something other than a pic of a ship or of Table Mountain? Maybe a selfie? Cesar and Lauren posted some fun stuff. They showed some genuine enthusiasm. See? It’s not hard. Because of that, I’m actually excited to see them on the show and have them around. I’m sad they’re gone because Sam and Cait will probably wrap the season with no great fanfare at all. It’s probably going to be quiet until SDCC. And then after that two weeks before the premiere. Sigh.

I’ve seen people lament how Tumblr’s been dead when it comes to Outlander. Well, that could quite possibly have something to do with the fact that other than today, there’s been nothing new. But do go find and thank all of the fan fiction writers, because to me they’re the real rockstars of this fandom.

Please NOTE: I only bitch about this stuff because I care about the show and want it to succeed. If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t spend my time posting about it.

wings vcr theory ???? aka what is happening

wow ok so i thought that people connecting every era of bts M/V’s were maybe looking into it too much (and as a lit student like. i know what it means to close read) but via this vid (@jinjjarevil on twitter) apparently I WAS WRONG and here is the reason why

1) the return of jin & the flower petals

as we are all familiar: the general consensus is that the 6 flower petals represent the rest of bts’ members (re: everyone EXCEPT jin), and it’s often agreed upon that he’s “filming” the boys because 1) he’s dead and dreaming them up or 2) he’s recalling all his memories with them or 3) the boys are dead and he’s the only one alive or 4) tbh pick ur poison i’m not gonna make this post a breeding ground for HYYH theory discourse, but i’m down to talk elsewhere !!!!

this part isn’t particularly groundbreaking, but it’s the first direct link to the young forever M/Vs

HOWEVER !!!!the difference arrives when the shot cuts to what jin is filming; it seems that there are seven people in frame? (this is at 0:52 in the video)

which leads me to believe that, because WINGS is a continuation of young forever, it makes sense that jin manages to find his way back to the boys - something that connects itself to a bs&t theory i have. the general rundown of my interp is the (6) members are literally works of art in the museum, and when jin starts to “crack” at the end of the M/V, it’s because he joins them as an art piece; they’ve drawn him in (kissing tae’s statue, the hands over his eyes, tae covering up jin’s face with his hands, jin stopping to stare at the painting near the beginning) and this is how jin ends up joining the rest of the group

2) the focus shot of jungkook

again, parallels to run, where there’s a solo part that’s just him staring into the cam (once after his fight with yoongi, again at the end of the M/V). he’s staring into jin’s camera and, subsequently, at jin himself - likely wondering 1) why he isn’t with the rest of the group or 2) who he is/what he’s doing

from a cinematographic point of view, this is probably just a cool transition shot, since the members all need their solo screentime + the cuts won’t be too sudden, but i like the repeating themes they’ve been using :0

3) taehyung's wings

in the beginning of the video, taehyung is seen matching himself up to a pair of wings in a box behind him. the glass to his left side says “YOUTH”

the main thing to note here is that the feathers are white, compared to the thousands of other shots of tae with black wings (M/V, trailers, teasers, you name it). once he breaks the box to access them (AKA shattering youth or the illusion thereof), taehyung strips away his innocence - similar to when he killed his father “i need you”

white is a color that often symbolizes purity/chastity while black is. well. has evil and sinister connotations, as well as a demonic undertone, if you want to get biblical (hold onto this thought now; it’ll return with my jimin analysis), so it makes sense they’d use this color palette with taehyung’s storyline

4) hoseok’s wings

hoseok is seen eating his snicker bar (lov my man omfg), but after he takes a bite, the wall behinds him shatters into color. in the first round, the camera pulls tighter in on him and the word “placebo” can be seen clearly behind hobi

i think this directly references the placebo effect, in which one’s condition improves/degrades depending on your mindset of your illness. in both eras, HYYH and wings short films, hoseok is often depicted dealing with drugs, pills, and medication. he and jimin are even seen in a hospital together (again, spanning both timelines), which leads me to believe that he’s using prescriptions to deal with the fact he’s suffering from something meds can’t cure. what is it? that’s a great question i only have vague answers to. it could be the fact that he’s missing his friends/bts family? is (still) suicidal? trying to cope with their loss? his condition has worsened after losing jimin, which is why he is in a max safety cell with all those pills pouring in through the walls? listen, who knows? i sure don’t, but i can definitely talk about the next shot!!!!!!!!!!! right afterwards, hoseok also gains a pair of wings, but notice they’re different than taehyung’s

these are his BME wings (they show up in his intro, u can go check it out if you want). his corrupted wings. his Bad Wings. and they come from the crossover of boy and evil.

boy = youth = wings MEETS evil = dark/cool toned colors (evil) = bony (feather) structure

^ is why his wings look the way they do (thank u @ opening shot of taehyung’s YOUTH/wing box haha)

5) progression of their lives/jimin’s solo shot

there are five (?) consecutive scenes with all the boys goofing off together. the vid quality’s pretty low so i can’t tell who is who, but it seems like they’re all just chilling. hanging out. being bros. etc. so i’m lead to believe the first three “windows” of light (bc each scene is separated by a long black column) are before any bts M/V timeline. then you have jihope in a hospital/nondescript room together - directly related to run and jimin’s wings short - in opposite beds, being playful like their pillow fight in run.

last there is the truck with all 6 of the boys in the trunk from run

these shots lead up to jimin in his blindfold, holding an apple in his hand (seen clearer in the actual vid)

this is his costume from bs&t/his solo stuff/is part of “lie’s” concept. the blindfold could mean many things, so i’ll focus on the apple for now. in his promo shots, he’s surrounded by many apples, something i was always confused about, BUT I AM NO LONGER !!don’t worry!!!

as bts has said multiple times, bs&t is about boys who fall to temptation, and what better symbol of temptation than eve in the garden of eden - the first woman who is unable to resist the forbidden fruit? DAMN THAT’S RIGHT !!!!!!! you can have him holding an apple - the figurehead of eve failing to resist her temptations and, therefore, the way jimin/bts fails to resist their temptations. this is why jimin’s holding the fruit in all his shots lol. it’s because he’s already picked the apple off the tree & “fallen” prey to his desires

6) Bangtan and the Curious Case of Looking Up

at the end of the video, right after jimin takes off his blindfold, the VCR cuts to bts all looking up at the sky, faces illuminated. this is likely a symbol that they literally “see the light” - a popular term that means someone has died and is crossing over to the other side/heaven/the afterlife. this makes sense, because of the HYYH theories imply everyone is dead or ends up dying (since young forever implies bts meets up in heaven)

the thing that sets this apart for me is the fact that EVERYONE BUT JIN IS LOOKING UP @ THE SKY. jin is the first member to get focus during this scene; he’s just standing there staring straight at the camera, a motif that showcases their character is detached from the rest of the members in bts’ M/Vs. it’s like they’re not quite there, even though one member may appear alongside everyone else (jin & jungkook in HYYH).

here: jin’s seen looking side to side, even a little upwards, but never completely like the rest of the members

besides his dashing good looks and impeccable suit taste, jin seems worried. he seems to be obviously, obviously worried. however, the other members don’t have this expression on their faces; they’re at varying levels of peace or happiness or excitement when they each get their solo cut (i’m not gonna put 6 pics after jin’s bc that would just take too much room due to tumblr’s poor image spacing rules rip, but they’re all in a thread in that link credit up top)

jin looks like he’s confused and baffled and searching for something (or someones ;;)))) amiright or amiright) during this scene - a motif that corresponds with the HYYH/my bs&t theory of jin being alone in some way, shape, or form

“WAIT” you say “BUT JIN DOES LOOKS UP AT THE END !!1!11!1!!!” you say

“yes my friend !!” i say

you are absolutely right. he is eventually seen looking up into the light like the other boys. however there are two things of things to notice: first is that he’s never looking up completely (comparison below)

and right as he fades into the background - he starts lowering his head (it’s easier to see this when the actual video is playing) back down to the camera - his expression still troubled. again, this shows he’s still separated from the rest of bts, even though he seemed to be very close to joining them.

so maybe he’s still dead. maybe he’s still trapped and he’s looking for a way out and his distress comes from knowing his members are going Somewhere Without Him, but i guess what happens next is on bts.....

i hope they keep going with this storyline; i’d love to see where it goes :0

[missspecter]

Am i the only iris and cp fan who is not entirely here for carlos i mean he is ok but i won't forget the one time he complemented Dp lipstick back in S2 i was like are you for real while others said he was forced or whatever he never supported cp online when he was active or even mentioned iris by name in his twitter and always had this feeling he was more with the others like dp & tc on twitter than he was with cp i honestly am only here for cp and anybody who isn't fake & supports her PERIOD..

Huumm this is absolutely false. Candice & Carlos are close, Carlos is just not on social media. Even back then, he barely was.

What does Carlos complimenting DP’s lipstick have to do with Candice? He’s interacted plenty of times with Candice on twitter???

& yeah of course, he’s gonna be close to DP & TC since 90% of his scenes are with them. Doesn’t mean he isn’t close to Candice as well.

Whenever they do stuff together, you can TELL they are super close : CWestionnator, that Pizza promo thing (whereas he & DP were awkward and dry af), both SDCC, BTS pics and videos, CW Upfronts (and the iconic “Brown folk” selfie!!!) etc…. like??????

ALSO never forget the iconic face Carlos made when that interviewer at WonderCon mentioned Barry & CS and DP activated her pimping-snowboring mode

[aspiestvmusings]

Scorpion spoilers update:

Remember... the promo for ep 3x21 “Rock Block” should air tonight, Monday, April 3rd. The episode itself airs in a week, Monday, April 10th at 10PM. (I cannot wait for the opening/teaser scene - it’s awesome!) ETA: OK, seems they didn’t show the promo on Monday night, and it’s still not up. Me, personally, I just think that this isn’t because they’re trying to keep things a secret, but because of the insane work schedule at the end of the season the video editing just isn’t done until the last moment. Because the last five or so eps were filmed each barely 3 weeks before their air date, and there’s lots of VFX & other editing work to be done & I just think that the material just isn’t ready. They have an end date for the filming & a release date for the airing of each ep, but those two dates are too close to each other at the end of the season. They work weekends, they have close deadlines, and most likely the post production just isn’t done, so no worries. We don’t need a promo if we’ll just get the ep on Monday anyway. Though they still might have the promo (and clips & pics) ready and posted by Friday. We’ll see...)

Ep 3x23/s3 finale press release should be out also... sometime within next two weeks... 

Episode 3x21 promo pics & sneak peeks should be out also this week, somewhere between Monday and Friday. (hoefully well get both pics & clips) 

Since they didn’t release ep 3x24 title last week, I think they won’t release ep 3x25 title this week either. Usually the ep titles become available when/before ep starts filming, but they're keeping things under wrap for the finale. But if the title is released, i will be posting that, too in the next 24-72 hours. If not, all will be posted once the full press releases are out in a few weeks. 

I will be posting all new spoilers released.. (probably with slight delay, but I’ll try to posting each thing within 24hrs after things become available online). I will also be posting the new BTS pics...in a few days (there are some I haven’t posted, but I’m waiting for more to be posted by cast & crew)

I will be watching next weeks new ep live & live-blogging...most likely. Also posting the weekly “essential quintis moments” video on the night/next AM after the episode. 

Heads up: I will probably watch 3x22 live, too, and live-blog a bit, but current info is that on that week the weekly “quintis moments” video will be late... posted the next day, not the same night after the ep.

Wlog for the BTS London concert on the 10th💓

Just so I don't forget, I’d like to write down how I felt b4, during and after the BTS concert on the 10th💜

 I remember it wasn't a chill day at all, and I went to tutorials and lectures in the first half of the day. Can't say that I'm extremely excited cuz I was never really hyped for anything. It's not because I didn't like BTS enough, it's the fear of expecting too much and end up getting disappointed somehow. Well, I guess I was wrong and I could have looked forward to it even more xd

 I went back home after the computational lecture ended, then packed up my stuff (which was partly packed the nite b4) as quickly as I could. When I thought everything was settled, I realised that my parcel has arrived and I haven't printed my ticket yet. Everything was done in a hurry, and I left home at 2:05 for a 2:15 train.

 On the train, I was still kinda calm and had a look thru my notes from class. Then I spent the rest of the time sleeping and imaging how would I feel when I actually meet them at the concert. Would it feel like how it was in my dream? Or would it be something completely different?

 I arrived at London and google mapped how should I get to O2 arena cuz hahah I had no idea. Everything went by smoothly and I even managed to follow someone with a "jungkook 98" shirt when I sort of got lost hahaha.

 I took pictures of boards that were at the station and made a call to see where Joey is. Joey was already queuing. Lol up till this point, I kinda hoped that I've vlog-ed this. Its gonna be so much fun going back and rewatching everything. Anyways, Joey introduced me to her friends and we went on talking about what we could do inside. She prepared everything for me - like the lightstick, batteries, telling me they wouldn't really go thru my stuff hence its ok if I had a lot of stuff with me lolz

 We finally got in and we went up to get some drinks (which I didn't). I said bye to Joey (cuz we sit in different areas) and went to the toilet to change into a black T-shirt I got from Korea (haha I know its an unnecessary fact).

 Then, finally, I entered the arena and managed to find my seat. Sadly, on my seat, there's this girl that wanted to sit with her fd and would trade for a seat that's much further away from the stage (honestly wtf). I insisted that I'd like to keep my seat and eventually she gave in.

 I then had conversations with her fd (ie the person next to me now) and she went on about how she coped with their concert yesterday at the pit. She seemed to be a really old fan and had went to a lot of the functions in the past. I don't entirely agree but I said nothing hahah (I mean whats the point in arguing - its not like Im gonna see her after this).

 The fans were really hyped and they sang fanchants in every MV that came up at the arena. Love to see how the staffs' expressions are hahah - they'd be like wtf BTS is not even here what are u guys on about? Hahah bro I feel u I felt the exact same thing xd

 Finally it hit 8pm and the concert is about to start. They came out after a series of promo vids and after a marvellous stage arrangement. It was really hyped and it really lits up your mood. Just imagine someone really calm like me (ie calm during clubbings and all) getting really hyped and stuff hahah~

 I was really worried that I could bearly see Jungkook cuz he got injured and might stay at the main stage. BUTTT he actually brought his chair to the extended stage and sat at my side of the stage!!! Don't get me wrong, but I might have saw him better just cuz he was sitting the whole time xd

 It's that feeling when something that's on ur screen, on your wall or even in ur dreams (but is somehow non existing in ur life) suddenly was in front of you. I guess I was just 20 steps away from them if there were a platform from my seat to the extended stage. It was so close and you could see their facial expression so clearly. Even tho I couldn't make a heart or anything (cuz its embarrassing), or even get eye contacts, its still like a dream come true.

 I could see their little interactions right in front of my eyes, and hear their voices live. All of the members did a magnificent job and I honestly fell in love with every one of their performances. If I did said anything about having a bias and all, its really nothing like that anymore. I like every member and they are all so good looking (omg Jin is sosososososososo handsome I cannot).

 Standing for a total of 2 hours but it felt like 15 mins. Every song sounded so much more better live, and seeing them dancing so so close to you. It's a moment when you feel they are actual human beings - not cartoon, not animations.

 Jimin's performance actually did hit me - he was so attractive omg!! He also so cute when he looked around to try to interact with any fans that tries to catch his attention!

Jhope, Suga and Rapmon's performances were so lit!! Even tho they were never my favourite, they look so much more better in person!

Jungkook got injuried, so he sat down on a chair the whole time. But his voice was so angelic - and hahah I caught that moment when he forgot to sing a line - cuteeee. His interaction with his hyungs were also adorable - I love how they involved him even tho he couldn't dance, and he also tried to join in the dance even on the chair xdd - the thing is, he is a little conserved and he do not have actual interaction with any of the fans - but that's him and it isn't necessarily a good or bad thing. (btw JK look exactly like in photos and videos and thank god he decided to sit at my side of the stage on the day of my concert)

Jin, as what I've said, is so attractive omg!! He is THE VISUAL - no doubt  - he is stunning in person!!

V has his own charm as usual. He also looks exactly the same in phots and vids - and I caught the cute moment when he smiled at JK and start dancing his part hahah he also got "shot" by a fan's heart (I believe) and pretended that he got shot on stage - hahahah so freakin cute

 They all had really natural expressions during performances - and you couldn't imagine how could a person look so good in any angle and at any moment - its almost like calculated moves - and they are photogenic at every point of their performances -

What I had to do is to pick out moments that my camera didn't went out of focus or pointing at a wrong angle - they look fab in every single moment - no joke

 Ok so the conclusion is I was totally enjoying every moment and did not felt bored at any point of the concert - like not even slightly

I only wish time went by slower cuz I couldn't grasp all the moments that I'd like to record on my phone or to be aware of

 So I could tell Jungkook was a bit depressed in general but at least he didn't cry like how he did in the last concert - I really feel bad for him and thank god he didn't perform - I have a feeling I'm gonna be even more depressed cuz I'll miss his performance the most hahah

 Anyways then the concert ended and I asked every possible person to send me their vids. But honestly the ending was so sad. I actually felt like crying, but I didn't cuz I stopped myself from anticipating the concert too much in the first place, and therefore the contrast wasn't as great.

 Joey was really really depressed and I totally get it. Never thought you'd feel so at lost after you went to a concert you love. Its that feeling that "yeah they're right in front of you but now we had to take that back". Its really hopeless and you suddenly realised they are really superstars.

Its not like I wasn't aware of that fact that they are actual stars, but this reality hit you really hard when youre in a concert. There were so many armys and they wouldn't even know that you've existed. Its sad that they were so close and now you've understood that they are not your fds (even tho they seem like it in vids) but actual stars that are so out of reach. The contrast of being so hyped then falling back down to the bottom of the valley (hhaha its so different to the feeling of riding a roller coaster when going down is the best part).

 I love you BTS❤ even tho you'd never know our existence. They are truly remarkable and loved by so many.

 So moving on from this sad topic (XD), I met joey on the next day and convinced her to take a pic of me at an enormous wall with a print of BTS poster. I was kinda shy and couldn't really take a good pic until after a couple shots. We then had flat iron and it was a great restaurant - would really want to go again! We then attempt to take pretentious shots (which joey succeeded, and I hahah obviously failed) and had desserts. We then left to catch the train - but Joey lost her Oyster card:( She said something weird would always happen when shes with me ahahha I wonder why xd

 Yah so this was my marvellous bday gift - cant explain everything in short sentences, but I was so submerged into bts music right after the concert. You could literally think of nothing, do nothing, but listen to their music and rewatch the videos. I really want to keep the solid memory of the experience I've had at the concert - and pls don't forget it!!

 PS I really owe joey a lot cuz she persuaded and helped me to get the ticket. She got a JK fan for me, knowing I'll regret for sure! She knew me too well and at some point in life we do have to live like a teenager when we are teenagers rt? xd

Add-on: OMG so V went to flat iron too - honestly, how could they just walk into a restaurant w/o getting a room or anything, literally, just a table in which anyone could have sat on and anyone could have bumped into them. Sadly he didn’t go to the restaurant I went nor the time I went (I believe) but still happy cuz we had the same food ahahaha
