the way you guys are attacking the players (only seems to be barca) even though we only know the tip of the iceberg on this situation is crazy. we know nothing about what has been said after and during the whole situation. the las 15 thing was never gonna work to begin with when not all of them stood up together. the rfef had established the fact that vilda wasnt leaving whether they won or not, the only way change is coming now is with succes and support. acting as if the players didnt deserve to win and get success from a tournament they performed well in because of the coach and federation is so unfair.
hi! if you’ll see my posts i’ve never once discredited spain for their win. have i complimented them? no. but i have not in a single post said they don’t deserve it. i’ve seen all the games spain has played, they played well, wonderfully really.
what irks me as a viewer of the game is not technically the players themselves that bother me (even if it was, i’m within my own right to not like a player). my main issue with the cause at hand is not being true to your word and sticking up for what you believe in. it’s disappointed me greatly to see players who i looked up to take a stance, especially one as deep as this situation is, only to go back on their word. i value morals, values, and ethics. that's how i work. a handful of these players have gone back on what they believed in...and sure they may be right in their own sense but it doesn't mean i have to support it. for me, whether it be a player or a friend of mine who's done this, i would be stepping back from them either way. im choosing here to respect myself and what i believe in and support those that i feel best match who i am as a person.
and could i see where they’re coming from in terms of playing at the wc? yes. do i respect their decision to come back under a coach they’ve all claimed is toxic? when more than half the team has written down that they would like to have him removed as a coach? MORE THAN HALF? and yet, when it came time to double down, to really show how much of a poor impact he had on the team, only a handful did so.
the implications of the players that rejoined under the coach and those that were willing to is huge. it washes away everything they’ve fought for up to till this point. the hard work and sacrifices of not only themselves but also other players.
as for the only barca players being attacked…mate i’m genuinely not a liga f watcher, much less a real madrid watcher. i personally have been floating in and out of the woso space for years, focussing a lot more on the north american and then somewhat british side due to the north american players playing there. i've just recently got into the wsl and have watched maybe 5 games of barca bc a) i grew up in the messi era and have supported him, and b) all the hype surrounding alexia putellas.
i can't speak for other people, but that's my reasoning. im only mainly familiar with ona, aitana, and alexia, and they're the players that matter to me, that i once looked up to. the others, i mean this in the nicest way possible, i am indifferent to. its just the way it is. you can't care for everyone, and i am choosing not to.
you've said this: "the las 15 thing was never gonna work to begin with when not all of them stood up together. the rfef had established the fact that vilda wasnt leaving whether they won or not, the only way change is coming now is with succes and support."
i want you to take a look at usa's coach...the way he's left the team after their horrible performance. and you've said it yourself as well, this was never going to work when not all of them stood together. THAT IS THE POINT. that right there.
why have only a handful of players made sacrifices? why is only them sticking by their word? where are the rest? this is why im upset. that this could've had an impact. imagine what everyone would have been focusing on if 15 of spains key players were out? the talks that would happen. yes spain has more than 15 good players. but if you're missing names like bonmati, leon, alexia, etc....people would talk!
at the end of the day, it comes down to the all of this combined. and so no, i won't be happy with the fact that spain won. not one bit. im not even going to apologize for that. for me the true winners were teams that fought together and stood up together (looking at usa in the past years, england, nigeria, canada, jamaica, etc.).
spain's team has showed me they don't respect their values, morals, and ethics, and that is not something i can stand behind.
that's my take, hope it clears things up for you!

Same abo person here
Dude you didnt have to come at me like that with that Izuku shit. I've already been feeling more down bad for him than I ever have because I just finished season 6 and vigilante Izuku in the costume just hit me different.
Ok but like secretary or assistant Izuku who slips some shit in your coffee or beverage of choice, maybe even lunch while already having taken something himself. Planning it just so your both in a small space when it happens, my thought is if your big(in terms of a company role or whatever) enough maybe a limo or maybe he might be personally driving you somewhere for work. Just for it to kick in and well we dont want to risk crashing right? Then Izuku insists that when the other one of you starts to show signs they must've gotten triggered by the other.
And if the two of you somehow end up not fucking the next time he sees you at work he is apologizing profusely. Apologizing for not keeping track of his heats or your ruts, apologizing for his begging and pleading because it must've be so hard for you to hold back, and how 'unprofessional' it was that he acted that way with a co-worker let alone a superior.
Worst part is this just pushes him to want you more. Afterall, your such a kind and strong willed alpha to be able to keep yourself off him, not wanting to 'force' yourself on him. Not having listened to any begging because he 'wasn't in the right state of mind'.
Thing was, he absolutely was at least in the beginning. He basically immediately started begging, crying, and maybe even screaming as soon as he felt the mildest twinges of his heat. Not like you'd know though, with the way he was acting he sounded like he was dying.
Bruh deadass I have absolutely awful at keeping with anime, I think a big factor is that my laptop I bought several years ago has severely degraded in performance quality so like I basically watch anime anymore unless it's on YouTube or like I can see if my TV streaming whatever has anime on it but. My dudes I've literally been meaning to catch up with MHA since season 4 which is funny bc I still have a draft w him I wanna finish. I've mentioned it before but, it's a quirkless AU where he's your wealthy renowned psychiatrist while you're involuntarily admitted into a hospital and it devolves into him extending your stay there on purpose just so he can spend time with you and eventually when he finds out another doctor discharged you while he was away for a conference he just decides to straight up kidnap you for further "therapy" that eventually further devolves into "I see you have problems being comfortable with men therefore I'm gonna fuck you as exposure therapy :) I am Totally Not An Obsessed Creep"
Izuku really is one of those yandere that, whether consciously/intentionally or not, fully takes advantage of the fact you think he's so sweet and unassuming. If he does something that wrongs you or upsets he comes back and apologizes so sweetly and tries to make it up to you and like, it IS genuine but he is also just wanting you to be completely on his side so, he be doing a little bit of lying sometimes
Izuku: oh my goodness I am so sorry about us "somehow" getting locked in that room I had a key for (I totally didn't sabotage the key so it would break and we would be locked in). I just couldn't control myself, I barely even remember what happened, I'm so sorry if I made you uncomfortable, please don't hate me 🥺
Izuku when you two were trapped in a car or elevator or broom closet or some shit just the day before, in heat but also lucid enough to know exactly what he's doing: *sits DIRECTLY in your lap so his scent floods your noses* oh my gosh I just think you would look so beautiful with a little baby belly 🥺🥺🥺 PLEASE let me see you with my baby *keeps wiggling his hips on purpose to try and stimulate you, keeps touching you with his hands trying to peel your clothes off* I promise I'll take care of all of you, PLEASE have my pups, I am IN PAIN right now 😩😩😩 *continues to whimper and whine and shit trying to make you pity him because he knows you have a good heart*
Just full on drugs you so you go into a rut, and then if you ever "slip up" and fuck him, well, he isn't going to let you GET RID OF any potential pups that might come out of it. NOW the tactic is to emotionally manipulate you "oh no, our pups are innocent, PLEASE don't KILL THEM, it ISNT RIGHT, they DESERVE TO LIVE, I WANT MY BABIES, I already TOLD MY MOM SHE HAS GRANDCHILDREN"
Izuku is one of those "and then when she gets pregnant we can move into a nice big house and it might be a little rocky at first but she'll definitely love me if I keep trying and show her my heart" kind of yandere but like, he definitely has the capacity to snap from stress. You're working in an office with him or wherever and for some reason a lot of your male and or Alpha coworkers keep getting mysteriously injured? Did you hear how Shouto somehow slipped down the stairs and broke his leg from a mysterious grease spot right by the stairs? Or how Bakugou got horrrriiible food poisoning after that cookout event held last week that Izuku DEFINITELY didn't bring poison to? God, did you hear about Yoarashi? His brakes failed and he RAN HIS CAR OFF A BRIDGE AND ALMOST DIED
And here's Izuku "oh gosh, there's been so much bad news around the workplace recently, so I brought you this little treat to help ease the stress ^^" and there's 'definitely' not any drugs in it cause he finally bought his dream home to steal you away to, 'promise'

fun little stranger things story.
okay so i was watching rpdr15 right. & they have to lip sync to running up that hill. & as soon as i hear it im like oohhhh my god. & i look at my mom & we're like ohhh my god.
& my dad is like "kate bush? i've never heard of this" & i was like he'll recognize it when it gets to the chorus right. well he DIDNT. & we were like... he doesn't even know the cultural impact this song had. so i turned to my dad & i said "it was one of the main songs of st4."
& he was like, "oh," & then added "it just sounds like over produced 80s music"
& i just said sternly "THATS THE POINT"
me & mom then explain the scene where max is running out of vecna's mind palace. & im getting way too energetic because autism. i'm just saying how hard it fucks. & i'm like "sadie sink got awards purely for her performance in that scene yadadaa." BUT MY MOTHER IS AGREEING WITH ME. so this makes my dad more receptive to watching the scene.
but saying he didn't know the song had opened a pandora's box & he knew it & he just decided to tough it out with me. & i turned to him & i said "after this lip sync, you are sitting down & you are watching this ONE scene."
(context: my father has been a stickler about watching stranger things because he didn't like the second season & decided to never pick it up again. & then obviously i can be annoying about it so yk. he's made vague comments about maybe potentially rewatching the whole thing bc me & my mom told him it gets better after s2, but like he never was serious i think. & i've asked him if he'd watch the entire series with me so he can truly experience s5 with me & my mom but he has yet to take up with offer.)
so after the lip sync im like i have to turn this episode on real quick because he NEEDS to see this. i cannot lose this moment where he is genuinely interested in watching this. so i know the episode & time stamp & everything & i start it from when max enters vecna's mind palace. i accidentally started it further back then i wanted to originally so i was worried he would lose interest. but he WATCHED. he was WATCHING.
& then it gets good, max runs out, & the scene ends & i'm like "doesn't it fuck so hard." & he was like "hermherm no comment"
then me & my mom start gossiping like he do. & i was like "i think he like actually got invested watching that scene" & she was like "he was totally."
so TLDR is that rupauls dragrace may have gotten my father back into stranger things. but only time will tell

Hope this is okay to send you! As a new louis fan I didnt even realise there was a streaming event for the first away from home, I watched it the other day and omg it was so good!!!! I also didn't realise how expressive Louis' face is when he sings!!! I've watched quite a few livestreams this year and you obviously don't always get a clear picture and I was far away at my gig but it was so fun to see!!!
And when he said "what the fuck was I worried about?!" I was so proud like "go louis!!!"
Also made me want that 28 clothing green Jersey, even more lol. (I'm currently rewatching AOTV bc my dvd arrived today and also want that 3/4 zip he wore at his first US show back (dallas?))
Do you have a favourite moment from the AFHF21 stream? (And are there any other big things I should know about and watch? Can't believe I didn't know I could watch it!! 🤣)
Hi Anon! Welcome to the fandom ❤️ and of course it's ok, i love these kind of asks! Afhf21 is just so special to my heart. I was missing him so much and then he came up with a free festival as his first live show since the pandemic, looking like a dream wearing his self designed beautiful jersey (iconic!), singing his heart out 🥹. It was just so good. There are so many moments that i absolutely love from the streaming event like the sweet moment with his grandparents after the show, that scene when he was stress cleaning, his scenes with Helene (love he actually cares about his vocal performance and works on it he even had a vocal coach with him on tour and how he doesn't shy away from being vulnerable and actually shows us how nervous he was before the show), and of course his actual performance ❤️. I'm so bad at recommendations 😭 and tbh Louis' career was kind of held on pause for a long time so there wasn't a lot of content before walls' tour (right now is the best time to be a louie bc we have enough content, i can't tell you how hard it was to be a louie before walls' release 😭). Anyway, i think the other big thing that happened besides releasing his albums and tours is the live from London streaming show so if you haven't already, i'd recommend watching it (it's available on YouTube). You can watch the igtvs from ltwt too. These next ones are not big things that happened but interviews of his that i love like his breaking down walls interview he did for walls (it's up on his YouTube channel), the track by track for walls the album and for fitf. I love his interviews with Zach Sang and the fun ones like the ladbible ones and the wired interview. The GQ one (i think it's called actually me) he did from walls era and that la resistencia interview are one of my favorites i'm obsessed so you can watch those if you haven't already 🤗. You have THE aotv dvd (which also has bty studio version and fitf bonus tracks) i'm so jealous but good for you! What a nice thing to have 😍. And saw him live in concert ! You're living the dream ❤️. Also, you're absolutely right about the 3/4 zip he wore at Dallas, it's one of my favorites and i don't see enough appreciation for her 😒, if you want to and can afford it, you should get one when they release it, it's so pretty. If you don't mind me asking, when and how did you become a fan? And what are your favorite walls and fitf songs?

Well, I've rewatched the whole s2 today.
As I suspected, I feel less angry now. I mean, it is a little bit of a mess. I couldnt keep myself from thinking alternative ways of getting to the same plot points but with a more satisfactory outcome. I still have a lot of things to say about the finale.
But anyway, I dont think it was THAT bad. I did spend most part of the time smiling like an idiot. There were plenty of good ideas, funny bits, great performances, cool designs.
And I know this is a super unpopular opinion, but I believe Good Omens s2 was actually way worse written. I only bring this up bc Ive seen a lot of people comparing them and considering GO the good one and Im honestly so confused 😅. The only worthy thing for me was seeing Michael Sheen and David Tennant having fun. OFMD gave us so much more than that (actually, the big problem to me is that they tried to give too much when they just didnt have the means).
In any case, I look forward a s3 because, I hope, they'll deal better with the stuff and maybe we even get more juice on the things that feel undeveloped right now. Tv shows should be allowed to have weaker seasons without the people wanting to burn things, specially when they had to adjust to so many production changes. Of course there were questionable decisions and the taste of dissapointment will last a long time, but if you've been watching shows long enough, you know this things happen, and that theres always room (and hope) for improvement.
The only thing Im going to complain is that, for all the fanservice they gave us, there was a tragic lack of the top1 fanart theme: Ed and Stede cuddling together in bed, taking a nap.
Also, here's a tribute to Izzy. I can imagine singing it to himself every morning:
#ofmd#I dont mean to police anyone's feelings#You're entitled to love it or hate it as much as you see fit#I just try to relativize things because I think it's healthier#And also I makes me so sad to get angry with this show#I just cant#ofmd s2

i still have to watch ep 3 (although i did watch a pretty detailed recap) but let me update my votes & picks for the final group!
let me just say that there were some valuable face cards eliminated in ep2 and they will be missed. i swear ryou kaito had so much potential!!! i really hope he gets picked up by some company 🙏
voting list:
^ still my big three, not much else to say. i watched hangyul's fancam and he did great, as usual. we love a REAL IDOL. junhyuk also did super well, im really happy with his performance!! the vocalists on his team were kinda...rough though....(haven't seen the episode so i dont know why minjae didnt take a singing part....). disappointed that [spoiler redacted] but it seems like he'll be okay. i need to see the full hylt stage but it seemed a little rough tbh. but part of my judgement is because they boygroup-ified it. i thought we were past that honestly. he xilong did alright but he seemed a bit uncomfortable onstage? looking forward to his performance next round
^ i added zai to my voting list on a whim but this singular photo has made me decide that he must debut. look at that face card. that's a future exo 2.0 member you heard it here first folks
^ i don't remember when or why i started voting for pentor but i like him and i want him to stay top 9. we love diversity and we love former idols getting second chances
^ shao ziheng is still my ideal center candidate but the stylists need to sit down and figure his face out. hes a good looking guy but some of this styling does him no justice and he can't get to polaris under these conditions!!
^ voting for syo until the end idgaffff
^ han jeongwoo would be a good addition to this group probably but i think he has a bright future in kpop. he gives kq, although he's probably too old by kpop standards to join their next bg project which probably wont be for awhile. im just voting for his talent, although he hasn't really gripped me yet
^ i enjoyed sun jiayang's improvement arc. sue me
> semi-realistic final group
so this is the group i feel we're being directed to want and i have no problems with it honestly because this is pretty much a gag. i would cry tears of joy, like welcome back exo & welcome to the survival show hall of fame! HOWEVER. it remains to be seen how yang dongwha's past will impact his rank. the production clearly wants him and it makes definitely makes sense as to why - he fits the heavy hitters on the show perfectly. but it looks like they may need to find another trainee to build a narrative around if it seems like ydw will be more of a risk than an asset. personally i cant assess the situation because everyone i've seen is just super opinionated one way or another and the facts are confusing & twisted. because of that i can't vote for him (i voted for him for a little while before i knew) but im also not gonna bash him bc like. i just dont know. it does also say something to me that the production even allowed him on the show and is treating him as kindly as they are. is it deserved? that, i can't really know, but it is a factor in how im reading the situation
> others to think about
^ he xilong is still one of my top picks but i ended up not putting him in my lineup because i think he has potential to be scouted for a boy group. he's 24 but he looks so young, sings well, and will have popularity from this show. he should have no problem debuting after this. that said, i do think he could work in this group though, he has a different vibe but not so different that it couldnt be reconciled. also his rank has shifted between 9 & 10 thus far, so just in-just out of the debut seats.
^ lee daeul is rank 8 and has been pretty consistent, but i really do believe that this isnt the group for him. i couldn't see how it was shaping up at first but now that i have i think he'll be way more successful with his fanbase in korea. im a little surprised that he went for a survival show again almost immediately after boys planet. i dont think he fits here and i cant predict how is rank will unfold throughout the show. it wouldn't be so bad if he made it, but i think he would have a brighter future if he didnt make it honestly
^ minjae is rank 9 right now, replacing he xilong. i think minjae is one of the more talented trainees on this show. but once again, not the group for him. it's about the image and the market and i dont fully see it. that said, contradicting myself a bit, i think he could have a lot of potential in china, just looking at liu guanyou and liuyu (chuang 2021 center).
^ xinche is ranked a bit lower than the others here, but the production is directing him like they want him to debut really really badly. i must have softened to visual picks over the years or something because i dont even hate him lmfao. i actually think that he could make for an interesting dynamic in the final group above, even if it's hard to imagine him dancing next to hangyul (or dancing at all tbh). do i think he *should* debut?? no, probably not. but figuring that this group would be mostly active in china, i feel like they mostly end up as brand ambassadors more than musicians anyways so it wouldnt be the worst thing in the world. if he can break out of the doll characterization and show a little growth, why not honestly (unless i get a new pick thats in danger of elimination, then all bets are off). xinche is such that if he doesnt debut here i cant imagine him trying again or debuting elsewhere. but who knows honestly
reviving this blog for starlight boys & maybe chuang asia/universe league/project 7 too 😋

well so i know you didnt ask me specifically but u did give me an excuse so: let me just talk abt hanji because i need to, bc i've been thinking aand
why i bias him: when i first fell into skz as i was just making my way through their mvs, didnt even know names yet except for chan and felix, id literally always turn around at han's part if i was doing sth else, and i'd be like 'oh its that guy again, he caught my attention again wow'. like i say this to all my friends but i really didn't know skz personalities at first, i was JUST watching MVs and performances for like a month and they just captivated me so much and he did the most. then my friend sent me a gifset of the 'happiness is a visiting friend' vlive (a life changing moment) and i was like 'ah fuck this is gonna be the guy isnt it' and i watched a bunch of his older solo vlives and i just... could not fight it anymore. I get so overwhelmed watching those lives because of how he oscillates between being deeply uncomfortable abt the attention and basking in it? it's really fascinating and i can never look away. it's also just a way he speaks, i understand like 4 words for every half hour i watch him but something abt the cadence and rhythm and the way his voice gets animated or when he starts really thinking abt this words and gets quiet again but still comes out with beautiful things to say.... it's really very special, just the level of excitement he brings to this job and this world, it's so beautiful.
2. favorite dynamics
binsung binsung aaahhhh..... listen like, the way jisung DEEPLY loves changbin but can never be... normal abt it... i like to compare the way felix and jisung interact with changbin bc its so funny to me, felix just goes in with all the love and warmth that is so inherent to him and changbin absolutely is ready to match it, even if it's more subtle, but that's what changbin does, right? he meets people where they are, when they show him love he gives it right back. but jisung.... he can't. he asks 'why don't you hug me more?' and pouts. he calls him a walrus and then gets surprised when changbin matches that energy... he tries to make fun of him but then can't fully commit bc he looked at changbin too early on in the bit and can't finish it now. he says 'don't look at my back i'm shy' but when changbin tells him to flex for the camera, there's no hesitation (last example pointed out by my friend tumblr user alexenglish) like.... he wants changbin to love him so bad but he just cannot get it out properly and i just.... feel a lot of things for that. the best part abt it is that changbin already loves him so much, han doesn't even have to worry abt it, changbin just does, but han worries anyway...
and then him and felix aahh, felix disables that inability to say nice things. like i don't think han is unable to, he just does it so awkwardly, always telling people he admires them or randomly thanking them or getting serious with compliments when it's supposed to be funny. but with felix, because felix just has that warmth: the love just spills out of him and he accepts it so effortlessly too, he plays along when han gasses himself up, he is so supportive even when jisung is objectively being a pest. so jisung can just... let all that love out. he can hug him and compliment him back and just let all the love that is WANTING to escape him (with all the members) flow freely. because felix does and felix will not make him feel weird for it and it makes me very emo tbh.
and then finally just as a last note: han was chans first kid. they picked each other. they chose to stay together. chan was the first one to say 'you're talented but also i am going to rely on you and you will have to deal with that' and han was the first one to say 'i trust your talent so i will try' and then they did it.... they recognised that their talents complimented each other and then they became friends after... but they really became friends. it's funny bc han seems like someone a lot of members want to protect in their own ways but funnily the guy who protects everyone else (chan) sees him as a friend first? as a dumbass he has to deal with bc he's so awesome that he wouldn't want to live without him anymore? i'm big on being friends on purpose, on picking each other over and over and i think those two do it? a lot?
I don't have any pictures, none whatsoever, i have like 5 saved on my phone but the rest just live somewhere in my head, the day you sent me your pinterest link... i was overwhelmed for hours... i can't handle having pictures of him i'm sorry
oh boy it’s hanji time...
bruh i get you cuz i literally chose him for his voice alone by listening to their songs before i really learned anything about them. and yes omg i need to finish his lives lmao (but they’re so long D:) and he’s soooooo cute. i like how he pays attention to his own behaviour during it and he tries to act in ways that he thinks we enjoy seeing? idk i just think it’s considerate
ooo the binsung bit is so interesting...
“he calls him a walrus and then gets surprised when changbin matches that energy... “ lmaooo
idk i guess maybe han just has a difficult time expressing himself or his feelings?
felix is soooo sweet and loving pls hes love shaped 🤍
omg i love how han was chan’s first pick like yes!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
oooh it’s okay! i have too many pictures of him lmaoooo... as you would know... so i picked a couple for you 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
send me a love letter about your bias 💌💌💌

his mom performed on broadway (which is how he learned to sing)
says that "he needs to work on his goal scoring mentality" (matthew you lead the team in scoring i think your goal scoring mentality is fine)
very smiley and bubbly
very very smart (pre-med major)
doesn't chirp very much (not surprised matty is way too nice to do that)
his mom moved to michigan with him when he went to the ntdp
his coach made him sing in front of his whole ntdp team at the beginning their u17 year (he sang the jersey boys)
Owen Power, #22:
from mississauga, ontario
born november 22nd 2002
played for the chicago steel in the ushl before coming to umich
in the 2019-20 season he was the USHL defenseman of the year and he led the league's defensemen in scoring with 40 points. he was named to the ushl first-team all-star, the ushl All-Rookie Team in 2018-19 with 28 points in 58 games.
"kid canada," youngest player to ever play for canada at the world championships
at 6'5, 214 lb he is, as tsn like to say "a big boy"
was a preseason all-big ten honourable mention, was fourth in the big ten in defenseman scoring, seventh in the big ten in freshman scoring, 2nd in the nation in freshman defenseman points per game and had a three-point (2 goals) game in his collegiate debut (as a defenceman).
was on the all-big ten second team, was a unanimous selection on the big ten all-freshman team, was a finalist for big ten freshmen of the year, was nominated for the hobey baker, was college hockey news rookie of the year, and was on the college hockey news all-rookie team
is supposed to go first overall
he has an absolute rocket of a shot, a really good stickhandler, and a really good skater
fun facts:
used to play lacrosse during the summer when he was younger, won a national championship
he likes to play basketball, so here's a video of him and the rest of the umich team playing (he airballed it and it was vv funny)
sports management major but dosent know exactly what it is
celebrity crush is selena gomez
his nickname is the big dog
was supposed to go to the ojhl but chose to go play in the ushl when the steel drafted him
takes his chicken wings with barbecue and nothing else
prefer doing school online
the first thing he wants to do next season is watch a football game at the big house
his favourite player to watch right is victor hedman (he also thinks that hedman is the best defenceman in the world rn)
had a rink in his backyard and that's how he fell in love with hockey
he would pretend to be crosby while on that backyard rink (owen arent you supposed to be a defenceman lmao)
not a big tv/movie guy, he mostly just watch's sports during his downtime (why am i not surprised)
he like to golf but is "not very good" (his handicap is a 10 which is appenrently good so)
if he weren't a hockey player he would be a lacross player
lebron is the athlete he dislikes the most
he doesn't say (chirp) much on the ice (once again i am not surprised lmao)
if matty and him got the chance to play each other at worlds (they didn't cause matty was scratched the first time and injured the 2nd) someone would have gotten whacked in the leg/foot but nobody would have really said anything
basically Michigan could very easily have 2 players picked in the top 5 and 3 players picked in the top 10. and if you haven't realised how special that class is, they also have thomas bordeleau and brendan brisson in it, which means that they're soon gonna have 4 first rounders in one class, and 6 nhl draft picks. (for context a lot of teams don't even have 6 drafted players on the entire roster)

i agree how you described twt, sometimes everyone's just ready to fight it seems, i've genuinely had fun on both platforms at different times but now it's just too much on stan twt (no space for difference of opinion djsjdjj) it's good to know you're having fun as well :3 & omg i've seen few of my moots starting to give svt their attention after fallin flower dropped, everything abt it is <3333 the song, mv, choreo i love it.
hdjdjddkdjdj " virgos 😐 " also me in next breath "happy birthday mark :D i love you so much 🥺💕💗" any virgos reading this i really hope you enjoy your month to the fullest djjdjd <3. righttt?? you're correct abt mark's temper being very virgo djdjdkd.
your line screams hard-working people <3 jihoon, jaebeom, jeonghan the 3Js <3. isn't jaebeom also an infj? (i don't take mbtis seriously but at the same time it also makes me happy if it ends up matching someone i like djdjjd) chan & yugs 🥺 these two imo have the sweetest personality, like the one which makes you feel welcomed & they also have the cutest laugh 🥺.
i love jus2 <3 focus on me is one of my favorite kpop mvs of all time & also drunk on you??? i love this song so much, very sexy of them. the vibes, style and everything w/ their album, i want more songs like that. and for when i am feeling melancholy i need more songs like jjp's verse 2 😭💔 but i am also okay if they don't want to go back to these units bcoz everything so far they've been giving is just as great <33 ( maybe in future we'll get blessed w/ features 🥺)
honestly g7 as grp and individually have won me over with their music style, even if i don't like full album ik there will be 3-4 songs which will be exactly what i like to listen to, all of the music they've released individually i've liked it so much. there is this song of youngjae's, titled "i'm all ears" i had no idea of its existence until it popped up in my spotify i'm so glad it did, it's been in my playlist ever since. there was also a time when i was obsessed with jackson's 'on the rocks' djdjdk.
aww <3 the live performance video of 1° has mark as thumbnail so for long time i used to associate this song with him jdjddk. i think the only j*pe thing i'd miss is got7 studio live sessions 🥺. RIGHTJDKSKS aju nice's mv is very cute djjddk I love it, in reality its reverse tho, i see them and boom! 💖💛💗🤍💕💙
it was the year they won first bb*as award so that gave them the exposure, and no i don't follow them anymore. mixed feelings abt them, very negative feelings abt f*ndom fjdjdjd. i do miss what it used to feel like liking them sometimes. at that time i never thought i'll willingly drop them from my interest (i've stanned zayn since 2012 first him as grp member then solo. sometimes thinking abt it gives me a whiplash hddjks it's been 9 years, really thought it would be same with them too but it didn't happen)
i've had falling in love by yugs and in to you by jaebs on loop for days djdkdk i really love these two songs and also air by bammie <3 (i'm slow jams kinda person djdjdk :3)
(bam released the most fun album & title this year idc abt others, ribbon is one of the soty) also special mention of look so fine & running through the rain. yes! you do make sense they feel organic & very them.
exactly 😭 it's more believable when they drop stuff out of nowhere like encore 😭😭. the way youngjae posted his letter on twt too ddjjdkssk the announcement & release of encore is such a 'you just had to be there' situation the excitement, nervousness, confusion and everything 😭 sometimes i can't with them. also is the bibi with mark on ost, the same one you mentioned in last ask? the ost is really good <3, it must've been fun to see it happen (if its same bibi).
making a whole ass playlist just for me???? 😭😭😭🥺💗 yza you're so sweet nooooo 💖
and don't worry abt replying late jdjdkdjd i mean it, sometimes my friends text me after weeks and i'm am the same. it's really okay <3. i hope this week is treating you kindly, take care yza - 🪂
p.s ( just saw last post djjej) - it was me who manifested more bunny dino <3 manifesting even more <33
i was on stan twt during my younger years too and it was v fun and memorable to me ngl <3 idk what happened though.. it's evolved to be.. Something Else.. i still see a lot of good people there though 😭 and now that i'm in my Hag Era... idk it's just too fast for me now 😭 it's still my go-to place for updates though nothing can top twitter on that dept
and ms fallin flower.... i feel like everyone was blown away by it (based off of what i see carats when talk about it) and rightly so!! she SERVED. the looks too oh my god. it's another factor i look forward to and enjoy so much when i watch their performances!!
u know what? virgos 😐 indeed KJJKDFJKFDJKFDKJ i want to slander virgos today because it's their season and no one slanders them that often so <3 ABOUT MARK'S VIRGO TEMPER THOUGH... i know i've said i enjoy seeing it sm but whenever i think abt it i cant help but say that.. I Love His Temper <3 he doesn't get pissed off in a scary and douchebag-y way it seems so... contained?? IDK HOW TO DESCRIBE IT he punched an a/c though so that might not be the perfect word to describe him lmaoo <3

IT'S NOT TALKED ABT ENOUGH LIKE...... HELLO!!!!!!!!!!! one of my bird moots said he sounded like a schoolboy in choir 😭😭😭😭😭😭
GOD UR TASTE!!!!!!! what if i start falling in l*ve a little :/ what then :/ focus on me was ahead of it's time and people fucking slept on THEM i cannot fucking believe this. this has to be some kind of sick joke 😭 ALSO HAVE U SEEN THE CHOREO FOR SENSES!!!!!!1 INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!! holy fuck!!!!!! sorry for the expletives but like.... holy SHIT they did THAT!!!!!!!! ALSO UR SO RIGHT </3 jjp verse 3 when... ALSO did u know i let go of the jjprojects url... thats the worst mistake of my life KDKJDSKJDSJK also agree wholeheartedly <3 i think they're all trying to find their footing this time around as soloists and im so proud of them for that!! i'll stand by my jus2 agenda though bc they're almost in the same company so maybe.. i might have hope left 😭
SO TRUE BESTIE!!! the same principle goes w svt for me as well <3 got7's such a flavorful group musically like... all of them have the capacity to go solo and they're still considered flops.. waht the fuck <3 ALSO OMG FJDKJFKFJD YOU'VE HEARD The Song!!!!!!!! maybe he'll be releasing something along those lines <3 esp now that he's supposedly coming w an album KJSJKDJSK on a similar note.. do u also listen to jamie (the other artist on the song) <3 NOO SHUT UP THIS CANNOT BE FOR REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 i was obsessed w on the rocks too 😭😭😭😭😭😭 IT WAS MY FAVORITE ON THE MIRRORS ALBUM HELLO??????????????????????????? im proposing to u rn
ok now i have to watch all the live vids again JKDSJKSJDKDSKJ ik keep saying 'ur so right', 'i agree', and 'so true bestie' but im gonna have to say this again bc i LOVE LOVE LOVE live sessions sm no matter the artist. i also just am a little partial to live bands in performances like that in general so JDJKKDSJDS
the way you're saying these cute things abt the svteenies.. </3 giving me heartache!!! i'd bully them though i can't coddle them anymore <3
not the fandom JKFDKJFDKJFDKJFKJF ok but i think it's mostly their younger fans tbh. it wasn't this bad before.. i also really liked bts during their debut days. their songs were really good!! i kind of lost interest though and couldn't really get into them although their songs slapped lol. my irls are still into them though so i still hear about them. 9 YEARS............................... wait oh my god it HAS BEEN a little over a decade since 1d was The Thing huh 😭 now i feel kinda old lmao. and i totally get that feeling </3 it really do be like that sometimes JKFDJKJKFD
you really ARE keeping up w the sevens oh my god how are you doing it!!!!!!!!!!! it's like getting svt content now at this point but more complicated bc u need to get the updates from different sources JDKJSDKJJSKD love ur song choices too <3
ALSO FULLY RELATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when i saw bam's teasers... the aes was my cup of tea and THE HIGHLIGHT MEDLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't fucking get it out of my mind it's objectively one of the best things i've seen from kpop in 2021. i'm super impressed <3 love how abyss really supported bambam on this. they really went all in for him!!
I KNOW GKJDFJDK I GOT SUPER ???????/// DURING THE TIME EVERYONE THOUGHT THEY WERE DISBANDING LMAOOOO they pulled a move that's so unheard of though no one really expected That. i respect jaebeom so much for handling all the paperwork and shit behind the scenes it must've been HELL!! ALSO IT MEANT I CRIED FOR NOTHING THEN 😭😭😭 AND YES OH MY GOD IT'S THE SAME BIBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE SHOCK I HAD WHEN I SAW THE LIST????????????????????????? thought i was gonna black out like,,, mark,,, AND BIBI??????????????? she's fucking phenomenal how is she just a YEAR older than me.. INSANE!!! ... and i also thought jackson was gonna have an ost for this movie.. idk why it wasn't released though i didnt look into it :/

(1)Heyyy I've been obsessing over your blog in the last few days since I found it and thank you!! It's put some things for consideration and normalised the whole thing to me. Honestly I live in a very conservative country and mental health is literally nonexistent, no one thinks it's a real thing even my parents who are the most intelligent people I know n are v open minded, don't put any weight on it. I'm 19, I've been brought up to be v ambitious n a perfectionist (which..a lot of issues ensue
(2)not only in school but also how you look, interact, present yourself ect) but when I was supposed to go to uni n was graduating was when the first quearntine started and I just lost all sorts of motivation. I owed it to isolation n how even though I do have friends I don't share really n felt disconnected. I'm first year now studying this thing that's so not me (but I just don't have anything I'm passionate ab so ig went w most money in it)..I can't say I tried though bc I didnt
(puttin the rest under the cut)
(3)I can't focus on anything I've had 3 scary af panic attacks the last two months, constantly have moments when I can't catch my breath, and depression (or lazyness as my parents refer to it) is a constant. I'm so impulsive/stupid it genuinely affected my life. I was training professionally n one day like 4 years ago just didn't go didn't answer a single text and just stopped. On my praktikum I just left in the middle idk why I just felt like it as always. It's like push n pull, I need
(4)attention/praise in like big doses from big group of friends/anyone really but then there's this drop n I'm detached and wanna leave. Like now. It's kinda scary/weird idk sometimes even though it's not usually. Maybe I'm just irresponsible though. And now w my academic future I feel like I'm just watching someone screw me over even though it's me but I just don't do anything. It's a bad situation at home now bc my parents r worried n want me to do... something. Ofc they're right, idk
(5)idk I'm sorry if that sounded stupid or pretentious maybe I'm just spoilt n lazy but idk sometimes I feel unable... anyway I just wanna thank you for bringing awareness and like idk dnp are my comfort place, now ur blog is too. But yeah I just needed this off my chest and just to thank you. Thank you!!!
(6) another thing, the educational system here is v short memory based which is sth that I have and what I think made it easier for me to perform well. Now, that I think ab it I never tried hard but also never pushed myself to be more that the expected at school at sth (now I regret it) it was memory n being a suck up to teachers lol. So now that I actually have to put lots of effort n understand subjects ACTUALLY....I fall flat
-----
oh gosh buddy, i’m so sorry it sounds like it’s been a rough year! definitely relate to being good at some tasks and then being like “okay.... what” when anyone asks for a different type of memory GHFS. school can be so so so tough and a really weird environment if you're struggling. it sounds like you know that it's been weird, but you're just overwhelmed, which is totally understandable? i feel like this year with quarantine has been so intense and weird, and i’m really glad that talking about it has helped a little at least!! good luck out there and i really sincerely hope it gets easier; feel free to update me if you want 💖💖

hai io~! 🦋 ahh yea im.. not really big on films either hdhfh i just like to watch bad movies to laugh at w my friends hehe we watched the after series a couple of weeks ago and had so much fun dhfhd i never thought i'd say this but we're actually genuinely excited for the next movie to come out lmao studio ghibli is wonderful tho~! my favorites are spirited away and howl's moving castle but totoro is really beautiful too <3
ah our trip is actually planned for this upcoming saturday so we havent been yet ^^ last time we were in moscow we visited all the big touristy places tho so this trip will be less sightseeing and more about spending time w family i guess~ do you like to travel tho? i actually dont know if its summer where you live, but if it is, do you have any plans for the summer? ^^
"like meeting old friends after a long time" aww but thats actually so cute hdhfh <33 i have a somewhat similar story in the sense that i randomly discovered them around their debut, but at the time wasnt into kpop at all (i was in the middle of my punk rock phase back then dhdjfj). i just looked up the members and stuff cause i was curious, but then completely forgot about them until my sister introduced me to kpop around clap era and i looked up svt again, this time i was hooked <33 i remember it felt kinda funny cause i didnt know them but at the same time i kinda ?? did ??? so it was like Oh yea i remember this and this guy ! and yea i know this and this random fact about the group lol
youre so valid for biasing all the members ! theyre all incredibly lovely and talented <33 my bias... ah idek if u follow me but im scared to reveal too much and ruin the fun dbfjfn i will say that vocal unit is my favorite unit and my bias may or may not be in it (hint: he is) 👀
anyway sorry for babbling so much i'll try to keep my messages shorter next time hdhfh oh and yea the butterfly emoji is super cute, its perfect 🦋 <33 have a lovely day io~ ^^
hiii it's good to see u again 💜 i'll answer under the cut ~
first of all: please talk as much as you want, i love reading long messages and i’m curious about what u have to say! it really doesn't bother me at all <3
oh i don’t think i’ve heard of the after series actually 👀 watching bad movies can be so much fun ~ what's the trashiest (in the funny way) movie you've seen? oh omg yes spirited away and howl's moving castle are incredible ✨
i see <3 that sounds really nice too, you’ll have to tell me about it later then 🥰 yes i really love traveling ~ i haven’t been able to lately bc of the pandemic and my uni/work schedule but i really love exploring new places 💖
and yeah it's summer for me too hehe and no i don't have any super big plans... later this month i'm going abroad for a few days to meet family... and i really wanna go to the mountains, but i’m not sure if that’ll work out. wbu, any other plans for your lazy summer except for the trip?
wowww are stories really are similar then :o what a coincidence ✨ and don’t take this the wrong way but it’s funny to me that you found svt in the middle of your punk rock phase lmao like debut era svt... the vibes are complete opposite fdghjk it’s interesting tho that they still managed to catch your eye even when you weren’t into kpop! it must be fate ~ and clap was soooo good omg no wonder they won you over again! do you have a favorite era? or title track?
ah it's ok you don't have to tell me <3 if i ask smth that might give you away, you don’t have to answer ofc. i've seen other people do this too, so how about in the end of the event i try to guess your bias just based on your vibes? vocal unit 👀 noted ! 📝✍️ my fav unit is performance btw but vocal is a close second <3
hope you’re having an amazing day/night, stay safe 💗🌼

omg ur so valid i'm the same i've only actually consistently listened to svt ever since i started listening to kpop LOL. my first mv was mansae too,, just a year later lmaooo. also like u i saw my boy (jeonghan) fell in love n he's still my bias to this day but now i am also dino biased too 🤩 the fact that u got into him from his mushroom hair is so funny omg oh another svt q! what’s ur fave song/era of theirs :0 mm also what other artists do u like! oh n also thoughts on their cb? (1/3)

JEONGHANNN !!! jeonghan in mansae was a cultural reset like him n mingyus hair i loved the most in mansae.... i really miss his long hair tbh im always annoyed thinking about how he never has longer hair bc of all the fans being weird and making him out to be a mom (or just making him more feminine bc he had the hair) like stop <3 thanks! whats ur fave looks of his? like eras or styles that rlly stuck w u :O also dino? a king a legend in every way he really is the future of kpop as carats are saying lately...
hmm my fave eras of 17.. i feel like i tend to like the older eras bc i got into them at that time.. n i think their songs were better tbh 😌 Boys be has a big place in my heart bc it was my first kpop album n i got it for my birthday, i remember listening to mansae on my ride to school every day like it really was such a big part of my life its crazy kinda reflecting on it rn u know...🥺 i also really love pretty u + aju nice bc that was the era i Witnessed? like i watched the live performance of pretty u with my friend n we were both crying akjdkajdks. other than that i loved going seventeen era AND oh my ... i kinda fell out of 17 after clap/teen, age bc i just wasnt interested in much of the music anymore.... but then oh my/YMMD happened and rocked my world <3

if it's not too much trouble to answer, can I ask what's been the going on with doctor who that's bad? I've seen little bits of it when my parents watch it in the other room but not enough to really get a good sense of it?
heyyy sorry to keep ya waiting on this. i tried to keep this as short as i could, but it’s about five paragraphs long, sorry. it’s not in any way a comprehensive list of problems with the last few seasons, just a quick tour of the moments i shouldve let be my ‘i can’t keep watching after this’ point. i wanted to write it objectively but i got pretty aggro, bc this show that in some part i genuinely adore has been producing unforgivably bigoted content. (it’s kinda a ship of theseus situation, except where the parts of the ship were replaced with worse, shittier, fake-woke parts.) i ask ppl to avoid reblogging this, because i don’t want my words to contribute in any way to online buzz surrounding this show or make anyone want to see it, even if ONLY to hatewatch or criticize.
content warning for misogynoir/antiblackness, racism, bury ur gays, some shit with nazi germany (yeah lol) and just the slightest kiss of antisemitism.
(edit: i seem to be having some problems with the read more cut. it’s there on dash view and when i edit the post, but doesn’t show on some instances of my blog. i can’t fix this but gksfkgls. wanted to at least be overt that i wouldn’t post this kinda long ranty stuff without a cut.)
in the last season where peter capaldi was the doctor, two seasons ago now, he had a new companion, Bill. she was a black lesbian and literally the only reason i started watching doctor who again. i loved her, and i was really glad to see the show moving back towards the more diverse cast of characters that we saw in the late aughts. then the season had a repeated theme of FORCING her to either repress or not feel her emotions. there are two scenes that stand out most to me. in an ep set in like, early 19th century london, she and the doctor are talking to a racist rich white dude who is being super nasty to Bill. the doctor keeps telling her to cool it and not show how angry she is. then HE gets to punch the guy out and knock him to the floor.
this theme of the white man being the only one allowed to get angry was big all season, iirc. then at the end of the season, Bill is turned into a cyberman. they’re usually like. soulless scary automatons, but some characters keep their individuality, which has been explored in a few past seasons, usually leading up to a tragic/heroic death. in Bill’s case, they did this trick with filming where we could see her perspective of herself in some shots–an intensely emotional performance, Bill was completely traumatized and her actress was working her ass off–and in others, just this metal body incapable of expression, scaring people like she was a monster and monotoning these otherwise very emotional statements. it’s an interesting narrative device, but after a whole season of this show putting Bill through all kinds of terrible shit and forcing her not to show her feelings on the matter, it hit me as like. this nauseating exaggeration of how society treats actual black lesbians as monsters and tries to make them bottle up their emotions and especially their justifiable anger. anyway, then Bill died and got to be with her dead girlfriend from her first episode. wow, cool.
idk what made me watch the season after that. i guess i wanted to see the new doctor, and i liked her companions (one was like. a young man with disabling neurological symptoms, tbh even if i’d missed Bill’s season that might have had me back on board). i had plenty of problems with how the season played out, obvs, but nothing was standout horrible to me the way the shit with Bill had been (except maybe the episode that started out like ‘space amazon is a hellhole’ and somehow ended with ‘space amazon was taken advantage of by a broken AI that hurt some people and they didnt fix the infrastructure we explicitly showed harmed their workers but now it’s fine!’ if that sounds weird and heavy handed with an unsatisfying ending, it’s because it was). the new season tho? the OPENING EPISODES OF THE NEW SEASON, THO? it opens with alexa product placement, in an episode about how a fictionalized google was actually run by a black man who had ties to a large number of aliens who had secretly infiltrated our society, altered our dna, and shit like that. so uh, 1. brand war lmao, sellouts etc etc 2. y’all remember those conspiracy theories about jews? and white supremacist beliefs that black people are ruining the world but aren’t smart enough to do it on their own so they must be agents of jewish corruption? HUH. HUH! that’s not even my big problem with the fuckin thing, but it’s FOR SURE a suspicious writing move from a tv show with suuuuch a huge viewership. (and it’s just plain embarrassing for a show with alexa product placement to try to go all scary panopticon tropes specifically @ a google analogue.)
anyway, we run into an old recurring antagonist, the master, a time lord like the doctor. he’s a guy again after having been a woman for a few seasons, and now played by an actor of color. i figure the reasoning at least partly relied on “dude, how fucked up will it be if we force the doctor’s black friend to call a white dude master” but i was immediately afraid it might go to the like…. Righteous White Woman Gets The Better Of Evil Brown Man tropes and oh boy!!!! i tried to be good and give it the benefit of the doubt until i saw something racist but it wasted no time. the doctor got stuck in the past at one point, and met the master, who was currently a military official with the third reich. oh boy. so she asks him why they let him work with them and he explains he’s using a device to psychically disguise himself, they see him as white. (we missed a great chance for him to monologue about how they were willing to bend their morals when they saw how evil he could get or something.) this was awkward enough for me as a viewer, but i wasn’t prepared to go into it, in case there was some tiny shred of nuance somewhere that would make this situation anything but a clusterfuck.
well, the doctor executes a genuinely clever scheme and makes a radio transmission to the brits that she knows won’t reach em, talking about how helpful this officer has been–setting up the master to be falsely outed as a double agent when the nazis intercept it. she tells the master this and then skedaddles, letting him be arrested by his own men. could be a satisfying karmic victory where he presumably gets a military trial and weasels out of his fate, although i don’t like the implications of a white woman punishing a brown man for racism. BUT IT DIDN’T STOP THERE! she disables his psychic filter, causing his men to see his true identity as a man of color–she exposes her oldest frenemy and Basically The Only Time Lord Who’ll Talk To Her to nazi racism when he was ALREADY about to fall into their hands as a prisoner. what could have been a marginally satisfying defeat was instead a kind of emotional horrorshow for me as i had to stop and wonder what kind of hell they’d put him through and why the writers decided that the doctor (who has literally since the show began in like the sixties been set up as an enemy of naziism via allegory and has always been firm in the idea that NOBODY, including literal maneating space monsters, deserves to be treated as less than human) would DO that. IT’S LATER IMPLIED HE ESCAPED FROM A CONCENTRATION CAMP. the narrative DOES NOT allow time for that to sink in before moving on.
i dont have a conclusion 2 this. im just hurt as fuck about it. i hope i gave u the info u were looking for without getting too deep into my personal feelings, but it’s difficult, maybe impossible to be objective about stuff like this.

so should i reply in tiny font or just regular font?
hybe should do better in spreading out the comebacks of the groups under them :/ they're already at a huge advantage, might as well use it strategically. AHA streaming mvs is so convenient for a multi. the filler vids i could use in between could be mvs from the other groups that i stan. also you know what, i still haven't watched a single final performance bc im waiting for a friend to watch with me :D
i have a chinese movie recommendation in case you want something to cry over. i still love its ost and it's been months since i watched it. i'm not sure if you watched it already but more than blue. i've never cried over a movie as much as i cried for that one. the angst *chef's kiss*. i'd do anything to wipe my memory of it and watch it again for the first time.
also sungchan is mc-ing in inkigayo every sunday! and honestly, what the hell is nct hollywood :D but a part of me thinks it's just going to be a bunch of asians living in america like johnny that'll be a part of it. just a hunch tho. imagine having all 4 units coming back in a year with like 1 unit per quarter of the year. i'm not sure if sm even has the money to do this, especially when they filed bankruptcy recently.
and i've seen a lot of twitter memes saying taro's ghosted stans T_T alexa play ghosting by txt T_T sm come on give him smth to do, you're wasting talent.
the mall didn't burn down entirely (like from the outside it looked fine). the ventilation system caught fire so it was more internal—ceilings and all that. covered things with soot(?) and ashes so the entire mall was closed for nearly 2 years. and hey, i've experienced a school fire too back when i was younger. i, too, thought it was nothing but a fire drill until i saw the charred remains of the buildings behind our school : D thankfully, no one died.
the new nct track is for a samsung commercial AHAHA it's funny because nearly everyone uses apple TT_TT and the mv screams neo culture tech tho (well as it should lmao). yes, i was talking about that part in hot sauce but yes, it grew on me too.
ateez really know how to do a performance. they put the standard so high for me when it came to performing. their facial expressions and overall stage presence just impresses me. it's been a while since i've seen idols draw me to them by those standards.
ah, the long stan list! good luck in getting through it and i hope you do have fun as you go :] (also you can check out aurora by ateez and whiplash by tbz. the songs popped up in my head as i was typing this reply, you might like them)
ohhhh, what was the pd48 scandal? i don't watch survival shows so i don't know any of the stuff going on. would you care to elaborate? about their disbandment :(( i hope you're okay now tho! are the other girls still debuting in new groups? anyone eyeing an acting career instead of being an idol?
YES, A PATTERN IN THE BIASES (if you count an analysis of two ppl as a pattern, that is.) because it's the same pattern i have for my biaswreckers :D jake & seungmin, not only do they have the same animal to represent them, they have the same 'golden retriever' type of personality that just makes you go all soft. ygwim ;n; i wish i could elaborate but both boys just devastate me in the same level and my friends pointed out that they were quite similar in some aspects.
jaemin used to send really long bbl messages :< like if there was anything he loved most it was nctzens and it was obv in his messages. speaking of dream, album repackage news today! idk what to feel bc my hot sauce albums haven't even arrived yet :D + i'm dead br0ke.
how do you even manage to read 30k TT__TT i cant handle long fics bc of my attention span :D also, yes, i found the user now, i'll check if i'll like their works soon. <33
YES YOU SHOULDVE BEEN THERE T_T what a day that was. i think seungmin is still sweet and active in bbl. not a single cent goes to waste with him. also i think i'll post the drabble some time this month.
and oml seungmin vs jake :o let's see how that goes O.O XDD
clickity-clackity AHAH do you have a mechanical keyboard? :c i wanted one too but i haven't got around to saving up for one. but yes indeed, typing asmr v relaxing \m/
sunny hyuck day, fullsun sunday, fullsunday T_T feels were very strong that day. i kept seeing edits on my twt tl and i would just s o b : D i've only stanned nct for a year but i've seen him grow so much i just wanted to crie i love him sm :') yk my mom didn't cook spaghetti for my birthday, but she cooked for hyuck's? : D
and i checked ur recs blog and indeed, full of nct T_T
also have i mentioned that your desktop thing amuses me so much HAHAH i got confused for a sec if i had twt opened or tumblr. plus, i've been wanting to mention that i noticed that our mobile themes are opposites. black and red, white and blue. it's cute XDD <3
help, people have been telling me that our asks are long but i highkey love it. i added a ‘keep reading’ for the mobile users though, sorry in advance hh.
honestly, both works. tiny font saves space but regular font does more justice for my poor eyes haha. its your call!
hybe comebacks :( yeah enhypen got lucky because they came back right before cb season so they got three wins (yay)! on the bright side, txt just got their first win and bts has six wins, so it all works out i guess. omg yes, the streaming thing is perfect. i stan like 20 groups so i have a never-ending cycle of filler mvs and its always so helpful. ooh for the final performances - you wont regret watching any of them! literally wild, kingdom's budget and talent are wild.
ooh, I don't watch any cdramas lmao. i want to but i can barely finish kdramas. if its a movie ill watch it! ive never heard of more than blue but ill check it out <3 where can i watch it?
yes yes i have just realized that sungchan is yujin's co-mc! i watched their special stage (which is literally adorable) and was today years old when i realized that the dude is sungchan pls. nct hollywood was so unexpected and i still have mixed feelings about it now. LMAO JUST ASIANS LIVING IN AMERICA...help. that would be interesting (?) but the concept reminds me of those horrendous awesomeness tv shows. lets hope sm pulls this off well and proves me wrong. lmao all 4 units coming back would probably happen, but i hope none of them get overworked :( i constantly feel like mork lee has four clones :'( also...sm filed bankcruptcy??? dang, what happened?
ugh omg yeah shotaros talent is seriously being wasted in the basement right now. as for fires, scary T-T i wasnt that fazed by them until the australia wildfires happened, and i learned about the consequences of fire and got really scared. its good that the entire mall didnt burn down though! although its weird that no one is opening it :( schools really need to tell us the difference between drills though, it might be dangerous for those rebellious kids.
yeah i just realized that the nct track is an endorsement which partly explains why i cant listen to it. the mv's visuals are stunning!! the set and people are so gorgeous aa i cant
oh yeah im not an atiny but i have acknowledged since 2020 that they have one of the best, if not the best stage presence and expressions on stage for 4th gen. i think their only worthy competitor would be stray kids actually. theyre truly one of a kind and all of them are cute especially that yeosang guy. i will definitely check out your song recommendations though!
oof the pd48 scandal is extremely complicated. to condense it in a few statements: all of the girls' rankings have been rigged since the very beginning and it was rumored that they already had their end group before the show even started. it was like this for pf48 and pdx101 (group x1) which was why x1 disbanded within a month of debuting, and izone were on hiatus for like 4 months. im not the best at explaining stuff like this haha, but i think you get it. you can check out yt or search up 'pd48 scandal', a ton of articles and videos. as for new groups, nothing has been made clear yet. theyve only made instagram handles for now and appeared on variety shows haha. as for acting career, hyewon was supposed to do acting but was forced to join pd48 so maybe she'll continue acting afterwards? nothing is confirmed yet!
lmao two similarities, its okay it counts. ah, true, i can see their similarities now that youve mentioned it, as well as how jeno is kind of like that. however, i am currently attached to jaemin so we'll see what happens from there hehe. i swerve easily.
jaemin on bubble grr, that would be a whole experience. from the bare minimum of vidoes ive seen for him wbk jaemin is so whipped for czennies. ah yes repackage! i saw the post on instagram and went to the comments to see everything screaming ‘iM bROke!’ and it was lowkey hilarious lmao. kpop is really trying to suck our money T-T.
ope the longest fic ive read is like...40k words i think? and it was by jeonginks. ill read anything eiko produces lmao, theres always so much substance in her work. ooh, tell me what you think of luvdsc’s stuff, i just finished binging their entire masterlist lmao.
seungmin vs jake yeah, i havent been catching up on skz enha content because im still obsessing over the dreamies but when that saga is over then im going to focus on my ults lmao (which might include dream soon, hehe).
yes yes i have a mechanical bluetooth keyboard that i use to connect to my computer! it literally sounds amazing lmao, its only 10am here but i feel like im going to doze off from the clickity clackitys already. i cant wait for you to get one! tell me when you do, we can match hehe.
hyuck is an aodrable brat please. hes like the best comedian of nct at this point, so hilarious and filled with variety i love him. he rose up my bias list pretty fast too. LMAO YOUR MOM IS SO COOL I LOVE HER ALREADY. if only my mom would cook for my ults’ borndays.
yes my rec blog is a mess right now, ill organize it soon haha.
omg thank you and yes my website theme is one-of-a-kind. even i get confused when i open it or edit it, and i constantly get comments about it. also i just realized our opposing theme colors and i love it! its adorable.
#long post#also im listening to love song right now haha i love it so much#also sorry for not answering yesterday hhh i got busy last night#「 asks 」#moots — [♡] ;#toffee — [♡] ;#neo-shitty
