🎫 [THE LAST FAN-CON: CURTAIN CALL] in Taipei, Taiwan | 📸 CTWANT

[周刊王CTWANT] B.A.P成員方容國、鄭大賢、劉永才與文鐘業睽違6年以團體身份前來開唱，今晚於TICC舉辦粉絲演唱會， 鄭大賢在第一首歌曲〈With You〉便狂飆高音，接著帶來上月發行的新歌〈Gone〉，在隊長方容國的帶領下，4人接力以中文打招呼：「大家好我們是方容國、永才、大賢、鐘業。」才唱兩首歌，歌迷就爆哭，文鐘業也眼泛淚光，場面感人。

劉永才還記得2018年也曾來過同場地開唱，6年後再見粉絲，他讚大家美麗依舊，劉永才說：「在演唱〈Gone〉時，可能太久沒見面了，你們看起來非常感動。」接著發現粉絲在拭淚，驚訝地問：「你們哭了哦？」文鐘業也眼眶泛淚。

B.A.P一連又唱又跳〈WAKE ME UP〉、〈 NO MERCY〉、〈ONE SHOT〉三首代表作，文鐘業在〈 NO MERCY〉更是使出地板動作大風車，粉絲也吹哨子高分貝應援，四人賣力演出氣喘噓噓，鄭大賢表示粉絲太嗨讓他��無法克制，劉永才笑說大家現在看到的正是男人很拚命之後的樣子，文鐘業嗨喊：「真的太熱（情）了，請開空調」。

他們也帶來TikTok舞蹈挑戰，劉永才表演三振舞，還模仿影片中的李珠珢補妝，最後轉身扭屁股，讓成員大讚可愛。在〈LOVE〉這首歌，劉永才、鄭大賢和文鐘業下舞台和粉絲握手、自拍互動，很有誠意地「爬山」到最後一排，見到歌迷如此熱情，B.A.P臨時加碼演唱〈Do What I Feel〉。

歷經6年才又合體來台，文鐘業回想到了出道不久來台辦見面會的事，「那時講了很奇怪的話，說了芒果冰，剛剛在休息室也吃了，台灣的芒果冰真的是最棒的，請你們不要誤會，我們是為了看你們才來的」，他也自爆：「我自己可能會再來哦，也請大家多多期待我的solo專輯。」劉永才感性表示來台前，在韓國發生了一些事讓他非常疲憊，這兩天獲得非常大的力量，「大概有二週的時間我可以努力的活下去」，如果再次感到疲憊他會再回來，希能大家像今天這樣給他力量，最後以中文說「我愛你們」。

鄭大賢坦言來台前有些擔心，怕大家忘了他們，「聽到票賣完真的嚇到了」，此時有���粉大喊「撒郎嘿」，鄭大賢說中文回應：「大哥，謝謝。」方容國去年曾來過solo，這次能和成員再來非常榮幸，真心想對大家說「謝謝你們，直到我們再見面的那一天，要幸福、身體要健康哦 」。演唱會結束後，一名馬來西亞歌迷在滿場3000粉絲的見證下，向台灣女友求婚成功，為這場演出畫下幸福的句點。

Don't make me cry Variety aritcle for hit TV show Lego Ninjago Dragons Rising (2023-present)... 😭😭😭

[whoa-an-mcyt-blog]

the emberton wire twitter account just posted a new aritcle!

here's the full image:

[naivety]

what part of the article says people can't do both, let alone encourage them not to for 'political points' ?

So long as the political and economic system remains intact, voter enfranchisement, though perhaps resisted by overt white supremacists, is still welcomed so long as nothing about the overall political arrangement fundamentally changes. The facade of political equality can occur under violent occupation, but liberation cannot be found in the occupier’s ballot box. In the context of settler colonialism voting is the “civic duty” of maintaining our own oppression. It is intrinsically bound to a strategy of extinguishing our cultural identities and autonomy.

[...]

Since we cannot expect those selected to rule in this system to make decisions that benefit our lands and peoples, we have to do it ourselves. Direct action, or the unmediated expression of individual or collective desire, has always been the most effective means by which we change the conditions of our communities. What do we get out of voting that we cannot directly provide for ourselves and our people? What ways can we organize and make decisions that are in harmony with our diverse lifeways? What ways can the immense amount of material resources and energy focused on persuading people to vote be redirected into services and support that we actually need? What ways can we direct our energy, individually and collectively, into efforts that have immediate impact in our lives and the lives of those around us? This is not only a moral but a practical position and so we embrace our contradictions. We’re not rallying for a perfect prescription for “decolonization” or a multitude of Indigenous Nationalisms, but for a great undoing of the settler colonial project that comprises the United States of America so that we may restore healthy and just relations with Mother Earth and all her beings. Our tendency is towards autonomous anti-colonial struggles that intervene and attack the critical infrastructure that the U.S. and its institutions rest on. Interestingly enough, these are the areas of our homelands under greatest threat by resource colonialism. This is where the system is most prone to rupture, it’s the fragility of colonial power. Our enemies are only as powerful as the infrastructure that sustains them. The brutal result of forced assimilation is that we know our enemies better than they know themselves. What strategies and actions can we devise to make it impossible for this system to govern on stolen land? We aren’t advocating for a state-based solution, redwashed European politic, or some other colonial fantasy of “utopia.” In our rejection of the abstraction of settler colonialism, we don’t aim to seize colonial state power but to abolish it. We seek nothing but total liberation.

edibles got me reading the wiki aritcle on “time”

[kirkwallguy]

i think the worldbuilding problems started when elves as a race became everything. Like everything getting tied to them or likely to be tied to them narrows the experience and we don't even know any other in-game continents other than thedas.

But damn making a fantasy world where humans and their religion and even their dna is the most dominant is just boring lol i wish in Origins, where it all start from, the lore and humans place in them built different. Because it's giving nothing to me i have seen this unravel again and again both myself and in history or even in a wikipedia page or in the most random aritcle on religion/history possible where religious institutions uses people's values and do something with them and keeping their power while having a culture-changing degenerative outcomes... Like the moment i take a look at the templars and chantry and andraste i knew what was up.

We're humans ourselves and in fantasy we look for something different. But totally agree on the take about what matters in the story being how institutions work as a whole rather than the gods themselves. However the more i learn about ghilan'nain it makes me excited cause experimental stuff and a story of ambition for wanting to rise to godhood. I guess that's because my focus is more on the character

honestly that's interesting because that's the reason why i find the way humans work in da so interesting (not the dominant dna tho that's silly). even if they don't always do it well, i love how much they've drawn from history to try and make the chantry convincing, it feels extremely real and grounded in the way a lot of fantasy religion doesn't. and ig it's a matter of preference bc a lot of people go to fantasy for things that AREN'T real, but i just feel like the emotional connection is hard to pin down when you aren't touching on real history or politics in fantasy. the reason the mage-templar conflict hits so hard is because it feels like it could/would happen in our own society

and i think my aversion to the ghilan'nain stuff is bc i'm just allergic to godhood stories tbh... it's so hard to define what becoming a god would even mean beyond a vague "limitless power and control over everything yaaay" ok but what do you actually Want

[skeelly]

i'm so nervous for when i need to interview a teacher for my article. can anyone give me tips on writing a dang aritcle?? :>

Lois's Aritcle/Visiting Muse Epilogue:

"I've spent the past few months at a very special place. I've seen so many strange and amazing things I could write a book about it (in fact I DID write a book about it, there should be an ad for it under this article unless the publisher decided to rip me off...). There's a strange villa across the sea where people from all over come to relax and feel at home. People that you would never think would click hang out there like it's the most natural thing in the world, somehow putting aside their differences and troubles to relax and enjoy the healing aura this place provides.

I saw people that would be at home anywhere.

I saw people that could be themselves only there.

And of course my lovely photographer got tons of great shots of the beautiful landscape.

Bundles of innocence...

and... things not so innocent.

I saw people that never thought they'd smile again laughing with their whole heart.

It's a beautiful place that welcomes everyone and melts conflict away...

...and also a lot of stuff I can't go into detail about here, you'll have to buy the book for the 18+ stuff.

But if you're looking for a fun, carefree place to unwind and unpack, as well as a bit of risque fun, and if you have the strength to find it, you should definitely give Cynthia's Villa a visit!"

-Lois Lane, Daily Planet/Author of "The Villa Beyond the Seas"

"Oh, it's finally done huh?"

"Yup! They're gonna go crazy for this one! Come on in Smallville, I've still got some bagels from Linkle and Steph showed me some new tricks I'm dying to try out!"

"Hmm, well Cynthia and Lois definitely make good clients, I wouldn't mind hooking up with either of them again, but I guess it's back to odd jobs and contests for a bit... Though I'll have to come see Mela again real soon."

"H-Hey... Astolfo...?"

"Hmm? Sup? Don't you have some traveling to get back to? I was just about to head out myself."

"Yeah... still, I wanted to know... I don't want us to split up yet..."

"Would you..."

"...live to travel Wano together with me?"

"..."

"..."

"Hehe! You bet! let's stick together Yamabro!"

"...Y-YEAH!!"

"Hmmm... a villa that combines and connects other worlds huh? I wonder if that's the source of the strange mana I've been sensing..."

"A place that rejects danger and trouble? Maybe that could be the key to a Safe Dungeon..."

"The Sinnoh Champ's pretty popular huh? Guess that's as good a place as any to stay while we figure out how the hell you're still alive..."

"...Professor."

"An odd Fate blooms in that place, even I can't quite tell what will happen to the people who seek that place out..."

"Oh man this sounds like a headache, but with that many weirdos in one place I guess I am obligated to check it out..."

To Be Continued... with New Visiting Muses!

Aw man, just found out one of my old favorite YouTubers - Jirard aka The Completionist - was involved in some kind of charity scandal:/ I did a very quick, lazy google search and couldn't find an actual aritcle about it, just a bunch of reddit posts, but apparently it's been a whole big kerfuffle for a while now and his reputation is pretty fucked://// and now it's REALLY fucked cuz one of those big drama channels just posted a 90 min video about it (im not gonna watch it cuz it's just gonna make me sad)

It's not even that I have some intense attachment to the guy or anything, his was just one of the few gaming channels that wasn't particularly funny, but it also never got flak for being offensive. Like sure, that's not such a tall order nowadays, but I'm talking like.. early 2010s.. where pretty much everyone was throwing around slurs n shit for the lols. His channel always felt kinda wholesome and down to earth idk. Also he completes every single game he talks about, like 100% completes it, and that's frankly a batshit amount of dedication. Ugh... welp. It was good while it lasted ig

Spreading my 2/3 propoganda from twit

I made a twitter thread on why I like 2/3 so may as well just send it here 2.

1] Both of them wrote for the Number Newspaper thing, meaning they could of work on projects together before and have similar interests.

2] 2 was the one who wrote the 35 articles even though: 1, they weren't even there, 2, they could of wrote about other things they were actually there for. During XFOHV, 2 was helping Y find their value, 2 could of wrote about that, but they didn't. Later in the newspaper, 2 ripped out their stomach and threatened to burn everyone alive if they didn't give them money! This was mentionned, but 2 didn't write about it. I understand why they wouldn't do the 1st thing, but the stomach-acid thing sounds like an interesting thing to make an article about. But despite having options, 2 wrote about something they weren't even there for which would ultimatly inconvienience them (not to mention 2 doesn't seem like a reliable writer), why is that? Well, I believe the only possible reason is that 2 just wanted to write about 3 instead

3] 2 seems to be rather biased towards 3 in their aritcle, suggesting they care for them; 2 seemed to of only interviewed 3, stating 3' feelings and experiences yet they barely talked about 5's experiences. Not to mention, 2 seems to write 3 in a fairly better light. 2 says 3 picked up the ball, but left out the fact 3 was sentanced to jail for 6 months after throwing 5 to carry it. Why would 2 leave out an important detail? Simple, 2 cares about 3 and wants to present them in a positive light, which is why they swept 3's crime under the rug.

4] 3 states they were only writing an article because they thought catch was getting popular, but they realized it wasn't true; this suggests that someone asked 3 to write about it instead of 3 wanting to do it themself. Who asked 3 to write, you may ask? Well, most probably 2. As said in p2, 2 wanted to write about 3, so if anyone would of tried to convince 3 to write in the article, 2 is the most likely candidate. This is just a theory though!

5] 3 seems to be happier when with 2. 3 has only been on screen 3 times (haha); 1, 3 was shown playing with 5! Despite seeming happy, we know 3 later gets mad at 5 and throws him. 2, 3 is shown beside 1, but that's about it, 1 doesn't seem to make 3 mad or happy, they're justthere, however 3 is still mad at 4, X, and 7 (and 5), meaning most of the cast infuriates them. 3, In the 2024 video, we get to see 3 happy for once (this is short lived as X later kicks them to the sky), and who are they with? 2, 2 is the only person 3 is consistantly happy with.

6] This is just another theory. People suggested that the crayons here represents (1/4)23. If this is true, that would mean 2 is the closest person to 3.

7] ] Last reasons is that their personalities seem to contrast each other; 2 is an easygoing and friendly person, and 3 is shown to be very opiniated in the TNPC and is generally negative. Ray of Sunshine x Storm Cloud. I think they'd be a fun pair.

Other points that don't matter

Mar 26, 2023by maia arson crimewin transphobia, leak, politics

the emails pt 2 - 810 more hateful emails

another collection of emails from 2017-2023 from the schupe archive

CLARIFICATION: i, maia, am not the source of this email leak, merely a publisher, since i feel that this should be more widely available than just to selected journalists

a few days after my original public release of 2600 pages of emails showing the massive anti-trans conspiracy in the US, xtra magazine released another article (which i highly recommend reading). this aritcle is notable since it's based on even more leaked emails than the mother jones story, elisa rae schupe has provided several journalists with an archive of her entire inbox from 2017-2023. i do not have access to that entire archive (and don't want to, given the amount of personal information), however i have been given access to 810 more notable emails and email threads, including twitter dm notifications, discussions with fox news journalists and much more.

i will not be providing much more of a summary of the contents here, besides what xtra covers and what other trans researchers and journalists will shortly be covering on twitter, since i do not wanna drown myself in transphobia. much love and respect to everyone who has the energy to do this digging, my job however is on another front, so i hope you undestand why this blog post is rather short <3. this also serves as a reminder to other members of the trans community that you do not always have to consume all the dreadful shit we are exposed to all day you are allowed to take a break and fight in other ways.

so anyways, here is 810 more eml files (which can be viewed with most desktop email clients) + most (but not all) attachments already extracted as files:

the emails pt. 2 - 810 more emails of anti trans hate.zip (810 eml files, ~30mb), available as a torrent (magnet)

if you liked this or any of my other work feel free to support me on my ko-fi. i am unemployed and poor and do this work for free because i enjoy it, so anything goes a long way.
