every year or so i take a peek into what’s going on in kpop and every year i understand less
#anyway to the point what the FUCK is going on with blackpink#they all left ygent and are under different agencies but still under ygent as a group???#girl just disband atp#like i’m sawry but you haven’t made anything new in 2 years#which. god bless. but at the same time#does that not feel like a waste of time to you or do you just want the royalties of your existing songs so badly#but yeah outsider’s (who was once an insider) perspective this is a fitting end#whole group been MESSY as hell since debut like the irregular release schedules and lack of music was a premonition#and they really said fuck making a different sounding lead single for FIVE YEARS (excluding lovesick girls)#rip blackpink 14 year old me loved you#kpop#blackpink#ironic how i saw a little 10 year old girl singing kill this love like four days ago#does she know#she probably does tbh these kids don’t be looking at nothing but their phones#i can’t speak i was the same only i wasn’t on tiktok i was on wattpad and played fruit ninja like it was my religion#you wouldn’t last an hour etc etc

it’s 5am and i can’t sleep so my mind has turned to wondering: where the hell were jean and annie finding the time to bleach their hair in the middle of like world-ending chaos???? jean and levi had their perfectly maintained undercuts and annie had her platinum blonde hair 😭😭😭😭😭 i know it’s probably her natural blonde but she’s the only blonde is the series with that shade and it’s significantly funnier to me to imagine her letting hitch do a bleach and tone immediately before she went out to kill the levi squad 😭
okay, having giffed WIT and mappa annie and reiner several times, i think they pass for siblings, but you know who else has identical hair color? jean and hitch. this also begs the question of if any shifter used like, overtone or hair chalk, would their titans also get it? i guess it's like clothes—it's not as if the beast titan gets giant glasses—but the thought of the female titan with the Lover pastel bi ends is sending me
i've seen so much fruity fanart of levi and erwin shaving each other and touching up their undercuts with straight 😏 razors, so i think soldiers in general/anyone in close quarters like that all cut each other's hair—mikasa chopped hers off night one, so she might have asked for help or been offered a hand in the girls' barracks, yk? in my little heart, EMA probably spent the previous two years as refugees cutting each other's hair, so why would they stop? and the same goes for RBA, or at least reibert. i think the cadet boys would have fun shaving connie's head all the damn time and would surely inflict bad haircuts on each other on purpose until shadis put the fear of god in them (his own bald head).
eren and jean Certainly had some incident early on—say, eren was cutting jean's hair, doing well, and jean was like, "i'll return the favor" and eren went, "that's okay, mikasa just trimmed it last week," et cetera. come disbandment time and quickly joining squad levi, i headcanon the scouts are all so close that atp who Hasn't shorn connie, and in a pinch (idk, if hange is busy) the kids also cut levi's hair
it's also SO funny that jean hates marlowe's bowl cut, but i just made myself deeply sad with the thought that jean grew his hair out in the time skip because idk, in the three months marlowe was a scout they enabled each other, or something. idk

the whole hybe newjeans situation is so weird to see in the context of fans talking about it because I think anyone with a brain can see that being paid a $3 million salary, getting preferential housing, and the multitude of brand deals they have is hardly mistreatment from the company for a group. and if anything them potentially going with ador is a poor move business wise. it's hybe as a company that has the financial ability to not just pay their salaries but to pay for their comebacks and promotional materials and manufacturing albums and merch. ador is a subsidiary of hybe, they themselves would not have the same level of financial ability to do that as a separate, smaller company no longer attached to hybe. those resources won't go with them if they sever ties. not to mention ador would be in a sticky situation regarding its image after all this is settled, even if it turns out in mhj's favor her reputation is already smeared and a lot of people will be wary about working with her and by extension about working with newjeans. it's very very risky for them to position themselves at all in the situation rather than just continue with their contractual obligations neutrally and let the companies battle it out in court
and that's not even mentioning how inappropriate and odd it is for an adult woman to be so emotionally dependent on four teenage girls. they aren't therapists, she should be seeing a professional rather than using them as emotional crutches because it puts them in a situation where they potentially feel responsible for a grown ass adults wellbeing and that could potentially explain why they've taken a stance with mhj without seeing the risk they're taking by doing so. they handed hybe reason to disband them on a silver platter so they theoretically could just dissolve the group if the risk outweighs the benefit of keeping them around for hybe as a business
truly I don't think it's hybe that's hurting the girls image rn it's mhj and her intense emotional entanglement with them.
and the illit stuff is a weird distraction, if hybe owns both groups how does it make sense for them to sow discord between them? a business that depends on these groups to make money is not going to sabotage them right out of the gate especially after they've already invested money in training and debuting them the entire point is to recoup that investment as well as make a profit outside that. they are a business so what matters to them is the bottom line and this fan created scenario of hybe villainously sabotaging both illit and newjeans makes zero sense in that perspective. why risk having to dissolve two groups and eat the cost of training, debuting, and maintaining them with nothing to show for it but a negative profit? the hand movements people are pointing to as this damning evidence of dance move plagiarism is silly, that movement has been used by multiple groups in choreography atp. and the girls' group aesthetics are different, modern y2k vs dreamcore. the similarities begin and end at minimalistic hair and makeup, it's just been blown out of proportion by diehard stans who take it as a personal insult that another group of girls would debut with neutral looks and an easy listening sound
#seeing so many videos of people tryyto argue that they're mistreated or something by hybe is ridiculous#and the illit stuff i just a distraction to muddy the waters and make people lose the plot#sure its weird to copy dance moves but the specific hand movements people are pointing to have been used by so many groups atp#its silly to argue about it#plus why would hybe want to manufacture discord between two groups they head? it doesn't help their bottom line#people are forgetting hybe is a business and at the end of the day thats what they care most about these groups ability to bring in money#they're not going to sabotage potential earners#kita chats ☆ˎˊ˗#hybe entertainment#newjeans

god i am so over blinks on twt being like "ugh bp disband already" like please for the love of god move on from this topic! we have known that bp aren't doing group shit this year for months now, why are we still having the same old conversations every 2-3 weeks? it's so fucking boring
i literally scrolled through my tl this morning and the number of times i rolled my eyes 🙃😐 how many times do we have to say that the pinks are all focusing on their solo career this year !!!!!! and how many times do the pinks have to say they’re all working on solo music !!!!!!!!! i’ve really come to the conclusion that not only do a lot of blinks not care about the pinks as people and don’t want them to do what they actually want, but also a lot of blinks are genuinely stupid because how can u look around and see everything the girls have been doing/saying and still demand group music ?? we keep having these conversations and it’s gotten beyond boring atp, some of these people are just idiots

ok I’ll try 😭😭 this is really emo for some reason don’t come at me
sway: joined the military at 18. considered a “failure” in school because he never really did well, but both of his parents were very sick so most of his time was spent working and looking after them. His mom wanted him to serve the country, since everyone in his town did it. He didn’t want to disappoint her, so he enlisted at 18. He was a really good shot because he used to hunt a lot, and he eventually became a SEAL and went into special forces
ully: also joined very young, but it was to get away from his parents. He lied about his birth year and during boot camp he got found out. They were already watching him very closely and thought that he was above average, so they took a gamble and let him stay. The caveat was that he knew that he could be sent home by them at any time, so he had to do everything he was told; no questions asked. eventually he was pulled aside with some of his peers about joining a special team. The guy running it told everyone that it was gov’t approved (it wasn’t). The team’s job was to go around basically interrogating and k!lling “suspects”. Ully would later find out that these people just knew too much about the leader. He kept coming back to deploy until he met a girl in a bar. It was basically love at first sight, so he went out with her a couple of times. She said she’d wait for him while he was at war and he went off again. When he got to base, he told one of his buddies he wasn’t going to re enlist, and the word got spread until the SPECOP leader figured this out. He pulled ully to the side and basically said “you will return until you die. I cannot afford to lose you, you are my best soldier.” Atp ully had a fuckton of pent up rage from doing this guy’s bidding and snapped. He finished his service and vowed to never go back. He married the girl and they had kids together, but shortly after his son was born he fell into depression from PTSD; he was convinced he couldn’t raise a child because of all the killing he’d done, didn’t know how to be kind. To help, he started looking into the operation he was in, and his angel of a wife stuck by him the entire time. when his kid was around 1-2, one of his old friends from the unit came to his house. he told ully to stop looking into these things, that it wasn’t safe and his family was being watched. His wife suggested they move, so they did. Ully stopped looking, and focused on family. That is, until he got some random ass email. It was the straw that broke the camel’s back, and Ully told his wife he needed to go back. She told him to be safe, and off he went again. In his year at war, he gained no information except that the unit had disbanded when he started to look into them. Confused and homesick, he came back. He came back to a home torn apart. He came back to his wife, tied to a chair with a bullet wound in between her eyes. He came back to his son, with a tear stained face and empty eyes and a white sweater turned red. He mourned for months, and by rotting he became vengeful. He packed up his life and went on a killing spree basically. He hurt anyone who could be connected to his family’s murder; including many government officials and soldiers from his unit. Caught in the crossfire were two undercover Americans. Word got out that the Americans were killed, and that’s where Sway comes in. Sway’s team was given the job of finding this guy. Sway’s particular job had been watching Ully for a few years now. I don’t wanna write out how they met, but they did. It was on a mountain overlooking the home of a Swedish military contractor. Ully was basically about to put a shot through this dude’s skull but Sway stopped him. He tried to fight but it didn’t work. One of Sway’s teammates hit him with a syringe and he passed out.
There’s sosossososso much more that’s not the end at all but I have to go to practice 😜 also there are more storylines Swaymark are not the only ones lol
Hi yes I’m going to need 60k of this injected directly into my veins

i wish there was more of interesting discourse on IDOL: The Coup but a lot is just abt who of the two male lead characters ends up w jenna and also that ppl hate bong... like yeah thats. thats what u watched. but theres also a whole plot abt music and mistreatment and plagiarism nd all these character's backstories! but viewers' reading of the show seems still so superficial to the point i see ppl dont even understand who plagiarized the song or think jenna's weird decisions make sense 😭
atp out of the 3 main characters CEO Cha is ironically my fav one simply bc the actor is so good at acting like a pissed off manbaby but tbh i get why hes so fed up w jenna bc goddd 😭
i do appreciate tht he reconsiled w jihan like YES finally characters r TALKING out of their issues instead of being vague, though his reason for neglecting jihan when he was younger was so gssiffsiskdj
but yea at this point hes at least the more interesting one out of the two but if jenna does end up w him i hope she does rly leave starpeace bc your boss dating u is just rly messed up. also i would love for solbin to stay w her found family or reconsile w her (lesbian?) parents or smth.
and pls stella and el need to be in a better place, stella needs who i assume is her abuser to be out of her life, and for el i wish she can support her mom financially and away from her abusive dad. which AGAIN is why i think jenna is an idiot and shouldve accepted the longer contract option bc w 1 hit and then disbanding, possibly leaving the industry, the other girls are back at square 1.
so i hope either they find safety nd income after they (if they do) score a no1 hit, or they change plans bc jenna is confronted w how few she has to lose vs how much the rest has if their careers end like that. but jenna serves to maintain the premise of the plot i know, i know. just urgh very conflicted abt the progression of the show bc past 10 episodes feel silly when jenna keeps dropping every plan continuously

yg releasing a statement bcs their stock fell saying they're still discussing with lisa. girl it's september, ur not discussing shit. just dragging out the drama atp.. i rmb them saying the same thing with CL which turned out to be bs bcs then she left. and apparently jenchuchaeng are still unknown. tbh it seems more like parting ways w the company and not e/o but it could go either way 🤷♀️
i think the girls have all made up their minds but yg is still trying to persuade whoever want’s to go to change their mind, so they’re still trying to ease the investors bcs if one of the pinks leaves bp is disbanded even if yg says otherwise lol so their stocks will surely plummet 🤷🏻♀️ we shall see but atp im genuinely curious
