DOES BRUNO MARS **IS** GAY????

[clovercalloway]

We Best Love: Episode 2, "Why are we here, just to suffer?"

ON THE PREVIOUS FIRST EPISODE:

Well, damn, now I have no idea what'll happen next. I usually expect something like this to happen near the end of any romance, but they just went and did it.

Will they reach the second base in this episode, then? Who knows.

They already kissed, now we just wait for that sweet tension.

I swear, the more I watch this intro the more gay it looks. Like, I can feel the tension in the air.

Meanwhile, Shi De is a hopeless romantic, he can't be more obvious with that monologue. Like, it's impossible.

He keeps saying things like "look at me" as if that isn't the gayest thing to ever say in any fictional show when you refer to another guy.

[EAW: Now I know what this reminded me of. Warning: kinda MHA spoilery but w/o context , @bossman ]

Idk which one is gayer, I'll be honest

Shi De, you're the one that kissed him underwater OUT OF NOWHERE. Are you really in the position of asking that?

"What's wrong with you? Why did you kiss me?" TELL HIM, SHU YI!

He says that Shu Yi wasn't coming up. Boy, that's the lamest excuse I've heard. Please just follow Bruno Mars advice and say this instead.

Now he's asking about Yu Xin, like he's tired of Shu Yi pining after her for so long (the jealousy, guys... Alexa, play Heather). But Shu Yi is all "you stalkin' me?".

I know he asked that as a joke.

THAT WAS A RETHORICAL QUESTION, BUT SHI DE SAID GO BIG OR GO HOME!

Is Shu Yi fucking serious?

"So you can defeat me". Sweetie, that's not-

Not the reaction I expected. Like, I used to watch Ladybug but this guy's too much. How is he somehow more oblivious than Adrien? Is barely episode two. Lord, please don't tell me it gets worse. I'll need ice cream if he starts acting more dense than he already is.

Anyways, Gao Shi De tries to comfort him but Shu Yi tells him to get lost and our boy obeys.

He went back into the water, istg...

I can only picture Linkin Park in the backhead of his mind playing very loudly. My son is in his sad arc.

He's being very dramatic and thinking "boy, I need to get over it".

Well, he actually says a lot more, trying to be deep and all that, but I was very distracted by his dramatic self.

Tho he's right that it's worse when the unrequited love is a friendship. Little does he know, for Gao Shi De the unrequited love is hitting hard.

Oh no

He seems into it

Well, idk what'll happen next, but whatever it is, please don't let this pretty lady be a rebound, what you need is to dwell in your own feelings, even if it doesn't feel right at the moment, because it's better to learn how to live with those emotions and then manage them, that way you will be mature enought to fall in love in a better- who am I kidding, his ass is not listening

Fang Zheng Wen tries to talk to him, but then Yu Xin appears and invites them for lunch, but Shu Yi says he "doesn't wanna be a third wheel".

I feel you, man. You don't have to force yourself to be in that uncomfortable situation.

HERE COMES THE BOY TO THE RESCUE

It's a green flag if someone notices what you're trying to say without saying it. He was uncomfortable and at least someone not only noticed but also did SOMETHING about it.

Like, no hate to Zheng Wen but it's obvious the atmosphere is not pleasant for your friend, you should say or do something.

Speaking of being proactive, Shi De went and showed him a recording of him at the pool, in a low moment as we know he got a taste of that unrequited love.

Shu Yi is again asking the right questions ("why do you follow me all the time", "what do you want") that would give him a clear answer if he wasn't so dense.

The nerve of this guy. He's blackmailing him with the video.

"You have to be on-call and obey me." Sounds fruity, LET'S GO!

Modern marriage proposal, they call it.

So the only way to break this deal off is for Shu Yi to beat him, anything counts. Shi De tells him that and Shu Yi looks excited.

"I'll beat you hard" This isn't getting less gayer by the second.

"Tomorrow in my house" I'll count those as dates.

Skip to the next morning and now they're arguing over going on a car or a MRT.

Bro is blackmailing him with the video again, so they end up being late and Shu Yi pretends to be mad about it.

You are not beating the stalker allegations.

"You have it so you can put pranks on me?" Why are we here, just to suffer?

While Shu Yi keeps being his oblivious self, Shi De invites him for breakfast.

Class is boring and Shu Yi falls asleep on his shoulders, so adorable.

Still, you'll have to lend him your notes, man.

Classmate over there is telling Shi De to wake him up and our boy refuses. Let him have this moment, dude.

"But he's not even from this departam-" "Shut up"

After class, Shu Yi suddendly wants to have lunch.

Oh

Well, Yu Xin is there and Gao Shi De can tell that his boy is not feeling good.

So now both of them are hiding, but

"How long do you have to hide from her?" He's not wrong

Obviously is gonna be awkward but is better to do it sooner rather than latter or it'll be worse and he'll end up losing his friends without wanting to.

And Shu Yi knows this, but he says it still hurts. And that's totally reasonable

But then "if she finds out, we can't be friends anymore"

No, man. If you can get pass that, you'll just have an even stronger friendship. If not, she at least will know it and will try to explain how you're still important to her, even if her love isn't the same as the love you say you feel. The only thing actually puting your friendship in danger is the dreaded miscommunication.

"Why do I tell you this" Cause he's your future husband

And, of course, because is nice to say things. Bottling up your feelings will only hurt you more on the long run, you need to face them head on.

Gao Shi De agrees with me, a total w

"You can't just put [love] back into the shelf"

Then he says Shi De wouldn't understand. Boy do I have news for you...

Shi De says he DOES know and Shu Yi is curious

This is too much. This is Wei Ying levels of oblivious.

Shu Yi, stop ruining my ship, you're part of it.

Shi De's classmate keeps looking at him like that meme of someone pointing with their eyebrow raised and a big rainbow at the side.

Wait, I had an idea

Sorry, I had to

Sharing a meal is fruity activity, says science (at this point it's just me thinking these are dates, because if they're not, I'm even more curious about how a REAL date between these two would be).

Well, now the classmate, the same one from before, keeps butting in and acting as if this couple's existence is a personal offense.

But his dislike seems more inclined towards Shu Yi. [EAW: is this guy 🌈 too?]

Now our main couple and their closed ones (even tho the guy with no name may only be a classmate) are all in the same table, and this dude keeps making passive aggressive comments, but Shu Yi bro defends him and says that Zhou Shu Yi doesn't lose, not against Shi De, and if he did, it was on purpose.

Thanks for exposing him, man.

And guess who comes in

Welp, a lot has happened in just one meal, right?

Of course, Shu Yi leaves immediatly. And Shi De follows.

At an arcade, Shu Yi's friend is asking him why are they so close now? Is it another prank for Shi De?

No, my man, but you should ask Gao Shi De, at least he knows more about his own feelings.

Suddendly, and idea.

Did you really never think of this? Were you so caught up in trying to rile him up that you didn't actually do any basic competition? You really are something else.

Playing montage!

This is even funnier because for Gao Shi De, I bet he shares my mind and totally thinks of this as a date

Meanwhile, Shu Yi

"Your days are numbered, you little-"

Shu Yi does his litle finger gun at Shi De and I'm like don't worry, you already shot him, just look at how his eyes are hearts when he's with you.

Welp, we have a flustered Shi De.

It's obvious who keeps winning again and again. But in case it wasn't clear with episode 1, it's Shi De.

Shu Yi leaves, ready to be "tortured" again tomorrow, and Shi De is totally smug because he got what he wanted, at least. A nice time with future bf.

Cute aggression, they call it. Typical of future life partners.

Perfect opportunity to commit theft, says Shu Yi, but he's caught instantly.

Both begin to wrestle for the phone and for being caught and then somehow this happens.

The way I had to pause (the video and myself) after this. Gods, my mind is not pure and I'm going to hell.

Also, I snorted hella hard.

Yu Xin is me fr

I know it's basically the same scene, but this is just too perfect for a meme

Yu Xin apologizes saying "I thought you and Gao Shi De were together". Give them a few months. If it depends on Shi De, it could be weeks. If it's on Shu Yi's hand, maybe we'll need like three years at minimum.

It's usually "from their limited perspective, it can be seen as fruity" but man, from my non limited perpsective as someone who witnessed those moments, this is still fruity as f.

Yu Xin has the right energy but not the right idea and keeps insiting that Shu Yi confesses. Shi De gets tired of watching this uncomfortable circus and leaves with Shu Yi.

"Are they really not dating?" You both are his friends and know him well enough, I do not. And even I think this is very very rainbowish.

Well, Yu Xin, they are on a date so does this answer your question?

"Why do you add spicy if you can't take it?" "Cause you like it" This is a gem.

"I just know you too well" It's nice to know that at least from Shi De's perspective this is a rivalry more than an enemies relationship.

Shu Yi thanks him for getting him out of there, and says that Yu Xin and Zheng Wen are really compatible and make a perfect couple.

"What would you do if the one you love loves another person" says Shu Yi, having dealt with something similar to rejection but accepting it.

After eating they go out but Shu Yi starts feeling bad and Shi De takes him to a doctor.

"Try to separate them and take adantage of it" says Shi De and Shu Yi gulps hard. Try to run but you won't get far, kid.

So that was episode 2! Aside from the doctor being a bummer and not letting me and Shu Yi live (or well, die), it was fun. They're not even in an official relationship yet, but sure feels like it!

"If you want to die keep eating spicy hotpot" Hey doc, I'll die but I'll die happy, ok?

Shu Yi, man, like, besides the obvious hints through the whole episode, he literally kissed you. Like, how dense can you be?

And to @bitacrytic, oml, thanks a lot! Tumblr was being a b*tch and didn't let me answer your comment. And yeah, so far I'm invested. But also busy. I hope to finish the post for episode 3 sooner.

The most probable case is that I'll be uploading these blind reactions weekly, but only if I'm less busy those weeks. [Jokes on me, adult life is hard.]

Anygays, hope you enjoyed this. (I surely did.)

SIDETRACKED with TGT

Welcome to Sidetracked, the periodical internet show where instead of doing important things, I get sucked down an internet rabbit hole for heavens knows how long. Might as well document my findings/incomitance to focus on tasks.

In this episode: an odd phonetic connection between the popular internet game Among Us and a filmmaker of an anti-Semitic Nazi propaganda film from Nazi Germany, the bizarre articles that came from trying to cover the topic— and the journey to accidentally debunking the source of the connection.

First, please watch this. It’s the thing that started this whole escapade.

Apparently, Amon Gus was the pseudonym* (put a pin in that) of the German filmmaker Wolfgang Staudte, who wrote and directed the 1946 film The Murderers Are Among Us (that was obviously anti-Nazi, by the way) and was involved in the filming of the aforementioned propaganda film, Jud Süß, which is stylized in the theater poster as "Jud Süss."

The Murderers Are Among Us was a romance-thriller about a Nazi concentration camp survivor and an ex-soldier struggling with the traumas of WWII. Jud Süß, by contrast, is considered "one of the most notorious and successful pieces of anti-Semitic film propaganda produced in Nazi Germany." One could easily gather (as the Wikipedia article does) that Staudte was perhaps trying to right his wrongs by making a film that was against the ideology he felt guilty for perpetuating. Or perhaps that was a cover-up and he still was a Nazi. It's impossible to truly know.

As of yet, I have not found any conclusive that Staudte actually used Amon Gus as a pseudonym or if that was just fabricated for the joke. Any sources I find gloss over the connection between the two names.

This leads us to the articles that appear to be trying to document this connection, except they're doing it in a way that feels like they're aliens that are trying to disguise as journalists but have absolutely no idea what humans actually care about or even what facts are. One such article from the website ridzeal.com is titled Amon Gus Person Who is Amon Gus Person? Here is an excerpt from the article:

“As of now, the author retains all of his information confidential. We can Not offer much info about his era. He might be 50-60years old as of today. He is not there on any societal media website. No information about his family, wife, kids, parents could be viewed anywhere.”

For context, Wolfgang Staudte died in 1984 at the age of 77.

While reading this, the writing really reminded me of the famous Does Bruno Mars is Gay article, which was evidently written by artificial intelligence. Considering this, it is very likely that ridzeal.com is a site written exclusively by artificial intelligence. Looking at their main page shows many headlines with English ranging from slightly-off to broken, such as “How to Wear a Leather Kilt?“ and “Bestiken Com Reviews Is Bestiken com Legit or Scam?“ All of these are being put out at a fairly rapid pace (multiple a day it seems) and in multiple languages (with no sorting by language, mind you).

There’s nothing on ridzeal.com that shows it’s managed by AI. They have a submission section, so I decided to ask them “Are your articles made by artificial intelligence? Because they really seem like it.” I guess we’ll see if they respond.

Upon further inspection, there were even more articles similar to this, two that even seem to copy each other. Here’s the website that appears to be the original source and a celebrity birthday/height/weight website that copied that (incorrect) information. 

Here’s that picture they used:

Isn’t he handsome?

Yeah, that’s not Amon Gus. A quick reverse-image search shows that’s the German author Karl May, who died in March 1912 at 70, five and a half years after Wolfgang Staudte was born.

Here he is on the cover of his book Leben, Werk, Wirkung (which according to Google Translate means “Like, Work, Effect”):

So handsome...

So, is Amon Gus a real person? Maybe, but it’s unlikely. It could be a goof by an AI trying to find new material. Or a fabrication to make a meme. Who knows? I certainly don’t.

Murderer Is Amogus and Jew Sus is still funny though.

And thus concludes my endurance to go further down the rabbit hole as well as tonight’s episode of Sidetracked. I’ve been your host TGT, and remember kids: Check your sources.

[thecheekybrunette]

And, like. What is Yoongi's favorite thing about Jungkook? What's Seokjins favorite personality quirk of the kids? (Like. The thing about them that he would literally BRAG about to every mom at the park.) And, okay. Does Namjoon/Seokjin see any of themselves/each other in the kids and, if so, what is it? AND HOW DID JIMIN GET INTO CHEERLEADING????

These are even better questions than the first questions? 

Yoongi’s favorite thing about Jungkook: Before Jungkook —you know— started contemplating his own mortality and the lifespans of everyone he knows and loves, Yoongi and Jungkook were actually best friends. Like Jungkook is the baby, and Yoongi has grown very accustomed to being his older brother. 

And Yoongi can’t sing? But Jungkook can. So they used to put on little concerts together, which grew into Jungkook and Yoongi just playing music together. I think I wrote in one of the most recent chapters how Yoongi thought some particular Justin Bieber song (or Bruno Mars song or something) would fit Jungkook’s voice well. Like he thinks about that because he likes making music with him. 

So maybe making music. Maybe his laugh (YOONGI DEFINITELY MISSES HIS LAUGH, NO LIE). Maybe how excited and friendly he used to be. 

(Also Jungkook is still nice, like he helped out that poor girl in Chapter 2 or whatever get in with one of the ASTRO boys on the lacrosse team. Like he’s a good kid, especially to his friends, he’s just insecure and stressed at home for the time being.)

Seokjin’s favorite personality quirks (age order): 

Jungkook: His will (You can’t make Jungkook do something he doesn’t want to do, and while that stubbornness has been frustrating lately, Seokjin is glad he has a son who knows how to tell people no.)

Taehyung: His compassion (He’s constantly thinking of others, even if other people should really be thinking of him and his needs with his epillepsy)

Jimin: His perseverance (This kid doesn’t let anything stop him. He excels at every sport he tries and refuses to let his learning disabilities slow him down, even if he’s struggling in Big Kid, Young Adults.) 

Hoseok: His laughter. (Hoseok is the happiest kid, is2g. He’s definitely the moodmaker, and usually it’s for the better.) 

Yoongi: His bravery (Just leaving his bedroom makes Yoongi uncomfortable, but he does it anyway, and Seokjin is so proud of him. 

How Seokjin sees Namjoon in the kids: 

Jungkook: Namjoon and Jungkook will both never see this or want to admit it, but they’re both the same kind of stubborn. It’s why they butt heads so much. Fortunately, Seokjin knows how to play the long game and wear both of his boys down into submission. 

Taehyung: Essentially, Seokjin sees the same selflessness in both of them. They’re both so caring and thoughtful, and together they can’t get anything done because Taehyung only wants to do what Namjoon wants to do, and Namjoon only wants to do what Taehyung wants to do. 

Jimin: He’s a snuggly, clingy boy, just like Namjoon. Sometimes it exhausts Seokjin, but secretly he likes having both of his boys hanging off of him at all times. (Like, yes, Jimin, hug me, never let go.)

Hoseok: Namjoon and Hoseok are both ewie, gooey, corny, cheesy, crazy. Like the way they talk about Seokjin’s cooking alone is ridiculous. If you get them both started at the same time, there’s no stopping them.

Yoongi: Yoongi has the same��passion for music and for his family that Namjoon has. They’re both so passionate about the things they care about. It can be a little overwhelming, but Seokjin knows full well what it’s like to care about something so strongly. 

How Namjoon sees Seokjin in the kids:(Namjoon seems to have more to say, but as Sab points out frequently, Namjoon GUSHES, so he has a lot to talk about. Also he is obsessed with Seokjin so of course he sees a ton of him in the kids)

Jungkook: Namjoon has to search to see it now, but Jungkook and Seokjin are both incredibly warm, friendly, un-intimidating people. Like last chapter in BKYA, Seokjin mentioned that this is just a phase for Jungkook, and it really is. Like think soft, cute, 2017 Jungkook. That’s what we’re working back towards. He’s usually so approachable, he’s just really stressed and insecure right now.

Taehyung: Namjoon sees so much of Seokjin in Taehyung, but they spend so much time together? Like an abnormal amount of time. (But Taehyung can’t help it, he needs to be watched.) So some examples would be: They’re both home bunnies (they like being at home, snuggled up with a good book), they love cooking and eating, and they’re really good at seeing outside themselves? Like Seokjin and Taehyung can both look at a room and immediately see who needs what. They’re great at helping, and supporting, and encouraging, and peace keeping. 

Jimin: Unfortunately, his insecurity. Jimin always seems a little doubtful about himself and his abilities, and Seokjin is that way too. It breaks Namjoon’s heart, and he desperately wishes he could change how they feel about themselves. But on a more positive note, they also share their stupid sense of humor. The day Jimin discovered puns was the cutest day of Namjoon’s life and the proudest day of Seokjin’s. 

Hoseok: Hoseok and Jin both have the same loud laugh, and Namjoon is obsessed. Or, like... You know, Hoseok’s laugh is all his own, but there’s something about how unashamed they are to laugh? Like Hoseok laughs unapologetically and so does Seokjin. Like, when they’re in the same room together it gets so loud so fast, and when they’re joking around, both of their eyes bug out, like they make the same face, and Namjoon loves it, like his is obsessed, his babies. 

Yoongi: Yoongi shares more in common with Namjoon than Seokjin, but Namjoon definitely sees Seokjin’s attention to detail in Yoongi. Like, Yoongi has OCD so that’s part of it, but sometimes his motivations are more about other people than his own comfort, which is so Seokjin. Like he just wants the best for everyone, just like Seokjin does. (Also he’s a home bunny like Seokjin is, too.)

How Jimin got into cheerleading: So Jimin did gymnastics before cheerleading. (And he got into that because he watched the women’s uneven bars during the olympics and wanted to do it for himself.) But then all the other boys in his gym started leaving because they were either getting teased for it, or didn’t like it, or wanted to try something with their other friends. So it was just Jimin and all these girls he didn’t really know well? So he didn’t want to keep going to a gym with people he didn’t know. He sort of wanted to do something team oriented, but he didn’t actually want to give up gymanstics, so cheerleading seemed like a happy mix. And honestly, he has two gay dads, like he doesn’t really care about gender roles? 

Like to be clear, Jimin identifies as male. And he feels very manly and tough, I think, God bless him. But the word ‘effeminate’ doesn’t scare him off. He knows that actions, activities, places, and things don’t have a gender, so if he wants to cheerlead, then he’s going to cheerlead. And he’s going to do it in his little men’s purple and yellow joggers, but his admittedly-women’s-because-his-feet-are-so-small cheer shoes.
