cang qiong band au.
Yue Qingyuan is the bass player, Shang Qinghua is the MD, Liu Qingge on drums(naturally), Mu Qingfang on keys, Shen Qingqiu as the electric guitarist and a vocalist(tenor) and Qi Qingqi as the lead(mezzo-soprano) and Wei Qingwei as synth and baritone when it's necessary.
#guys all im thinking about is shen jiu shredding over a sick bassline courtesy of yqy#also shang qinghua yelling at everyone to stay on beat because the crowd is clapping off tempo#also sj and qqq trying to outdo each other with the octave jumps and insane runs. holding out notes like its an olympic sport#sj buys himself a cake as a treat when a news publication has a headline that goes 'cang qiong's lead vocalist and electric guitarist shen#qingqiu stuns in new ep...'#svsss#svsss band au#svsss au#cang qiong#cang qiong peaks#original shen qingqiu#shen jiu#yue qingyuan#qi qingqi#liu qingge#mu qingfang#wei qingwei#shang qinghua

why does every article reporting on idf war crimes go "hamas, who started the war on october 7th with their brutal terrorist attack slaughtering innocent israeli civilians, has condemned the idf's use of-"? like, nearly verbatim every single time. we know about october 7th. we know by now. half the time, hamas isnt even relevant but they gotta find some way to sow doubt and numb any potential compassion responses. will you get fired if you show sympathy for murdered palestinian civilians without first adding a disclaimer saying its all their fault for being born in gaza? if you call "palestinians under 18" children? if you use the words "murdered" or "brutal" or "massacre" for acts that didnt occur on october 7th? if you call a spade a spade? why are israeli reports front page news without proper fact-checking but palestinian reporting is always "allegedly" even when theres video evidence? why does the idf not get the hamas treatment of reminding everyone that theyre biased before treating their words as law, like they havent been caught bold-faced lying again and again?
#soooooo fucking infuriating#'palestinians are allegedly starving but thats what hamas (who are savage terrorists in case you forgot) said as well so who knows?'#'idf soldiers are allegedly bragging about and showing pictures and videos of their war crimes on social media but#its not in english so we may never know what theyre saying. palestinian ''civilians'' are translating so whatever they say must be wrong'#'in other news. heres what ''doctors'' are referring to as a ''calendar'' but is written in arabic (terrorist language) so the idf must be#telling the truth when they say its proof they are all evil and must in some nebulous way suddenly stop living'#to be fair. the 'secret hamas names list disguised as calendar but REALLY about oct 7' shit was the target of skepticism quite early on#but it really does show how often the idf lies to justify obvious war crimes#maybe they should provide verified evidence or even just be given a bias disclaimer before printing their claims as fact???#every single fucking death toll is phrased as 'hamas-run ministry of health reports death toll of x' like?#yeah? thats their fucking government? what else do you expect?#you do understand that the healthcare portion of their government is probably more reputable#than what the phrasing of those headlines are obviously trying to imply?#i understand that bias is still possible there but its not armed combatants making shit up#its doctors who receive govt paychecks doing their best to identify the disfigured bodies not buried under rubble#youre not slick with that wording

romance in waiting for your partner before you find your seats on the bench after witnessing the wackiest flail your goalie just made
and sandwiching a baby swede in between yall and your uncontested unbreakable marriage bond despite the fact paul tried to test said unbreakable marriage bond by pairing up said baby swede with forsy for comfort reasons
and also whatever conversation boqy and forsy are having while ekky has glove problems is deeply entertaining to me
"❓️" "🙂↔️🙂↔️" "🤨❓️" all i know is that it left boqy deeply confused
tampa bay lightning @ florida panthers | 9.30.24
#gustav forsling#aaron ekblad#adam boqvist#florida panthers#2425#preseason#forsblad#but also its become forsblad + boqy#because the baby duckling toddles closely behind the swede they imprinted on#forsy is boqys security blanket and ekkys completely chill with it if not because he gets to see his wife beautiful and happy#dying at both the smile ekky and forsy have on after the wildest shift that they also cant help smiling when they pass each other#chilvary isnt dead! forsy is a gentleman waiting for his partner before he takes a seat!#feat bobby the one holding the fucking door for these lovebirds#i would kill to be a fly on the wall to hear whatever boqy and forsy are talking about#because the face boqy makes after forsy answers him like oh boy is so ???#me when im huh. when im whuh.#ekky with a swede. more news at 11.#ekky with TWO swedes NOW THAT MAKES HEADLINES#crying at how ekky let boqy sit with forsy and instead pulled up the rear because he cant be far away from a swede he will wither away#but also boqy sandwhich... forsblad...#many thoughts!#boqy just got here how is he already in the middle of a marriage

i hate how much english is, like, permeating the danish language. probably all languages. but man, no one speaks proper danish anymore. journalists don't, many writers don't. i don't – i try my hardest to, but often i don't know if something is proper danish or if im directly translating from english and using expressions that aren't actually correct. i suppose it's hard to avoid when we engage so much with the english language, but i find it devastating. danish is beautiful and having different cultures is beautiful. i wish people would make more of an effort, especially journalists and writers who influence the rest of the people. try not to contribute too much to the homogenisation of language and cultures. we have to resist while we can
#like. just think for two seconds. have i ever heard anyone say 'frysende koldt' in danish? no? is it a direct translation of 'freezing cold'#the english version? yes. so maybe its not proper danish. its pretty obvious a lot of the time pls use your brain before you publish a#headline in maybe the most popular news media! i love danish so much as a language its actually devastating.#sorry i think about this every single day#bidende koldt would be a proper danish phrase. come ooooon. we have google nowadays and ordnet.dk is right there

I've always wanted to wake up from a dream laughing and I just did but I realized after I woke up that I have missed a million social cues :((((((((((((((((( it wasn't even funny idk why I couldn't stop giggling. I dont even giggle irl.
#this also may have been a separate dream#i was in this big aquarium swimming and walking around. it was like. you could swim in a lot of the exhibit and interact with the animals#i had some sort of mission and i also found a baby seal who i picked up and was carrying around as i wandered around#eventually i ended up in this little nook that had one of the adult seals/walrusess? so i let the baby go but the adult was not into it and#i heard someone day something like “aw he still has hope”#theres this kid that works at the aquarium and i tell him to come with me for some reason. its around this time i realize this is some movie#the kids boss is like “next time you leave your post you gotta dive out”#and im worried a bit allready sbout him leavin his post with the adult walrus up there.#then suddenly the glass starts breaking everywhere. like one crack then the whole aquarium starts falling apart#and the kid seems a bit worried.#as were all evacuating i decide that its my fault. because the walrus must have been ramming the glass while the kid wasnt watching.#i remember thinking about how this was a movie or something and feeling really dumv#then yhe dream was over snd there was s recap??? in like drawing form and it showed the main character (me) putting a bomb in the center of#the aquarium in some sort of well or something. so. i guess it really was completely my fault in a different way than i thought#then later im at some sort of party or something and then i leave the party for another party or something? and i feel really bad sn#and socially innept the entire time. the person who i think i reconize we start talking and theyre like the first person whos nice to me#and were talking about following eachother on Instagram? or somth#while their scrolling i see a video eith one of my old friends and shes on the news? the headline is like “me and cathy snd the murder#victim...“ or something. and im like ”hey thats my friend“ and the person just shuts their phone off.#any ways so this person lets me hitch a ride with them back to the original party. they get out of the uber super early but its the right#house and the tell the driver that hes lost and the DRIVER gets out. so im like oh i guess this is their car??#and so they drive up to the drive way and three more people start getting in the car and theyre like putting stuff in the trunk#and talking about where to sit and i just start giggling.#and im still trying to participate like i offer to sit in the middle. theres already someone sitting at the front but he gets out and#everytime someone says anything i start giggling??? and like its sunny and everyone is very attractive in a way that o just found so funny#and then eventually two of then run over to this like panel dash board yhing that on a wall outside and like messing with it opening the#glove box and stuff and i just wake up#and immediately upon waking. well first i was like “teehee. i woke up from giggling” then i thought about it and i was like “oh. i was#take the front seat :(#dream log

I do think we need to be critical of the media we consume but I also feel like a lot of people tend to just. Parrot opinions and sentiments from other people. Or base their entire outlook on a single out of context clip of a show. I think people rarely watch something a substantial enough amount to formulate their own opinion.
And this goes for problematic media like adult cartoons AND things that are considered just low tier, like the Disney live action remakes.
I think a lot of it is the popularity effect. Just like kids in high school who want to be popular we formulate opinions online based on what everyone else is doing. If that makes sense. And in the terms of popular problematic media we tend to downplay enjoyment or engagement with it for the sake of staying within lines of what people deem acceptable and remaining "uncancellable". I don't know man.
#like i just dont think engagement with media is the same as celebration of the parts of them that are problematic#theres lines and nuance#SOMeTIMES its like news headlines. yeah that article seems bad but if#you only read that youre not getting the meat and potatoes of the issue

If you’re a progressive living in a blue state and you see a minority in the southern US lamenting their situation, if you respond to them with “well you guys voted for it” you sound exactly as callous and cruel as the republicans who enacted this legislation against us. And you aren’t actually progressive.
#every time I see a new terrifying news headline its full of smug liberal shitheads like#'well that's what you get for being born in the wrong place serves you right~'

t swift making feminism part of her brand and always leaning on the "you would never say this if i were a man" line of white women feminism while simultaneously doing everything in her power to block any pop girl from passing her on the charts to get the number one spot is soooooooooooooo
"theres a special place in hell for women who dont help other women" unless the woman is trying to maintain her number one chart position and then she can do whatever she wants and screw over those less successful girls i guess
#its so blatant#like there was just a headline that charlis album is heading towards number 1 and she released 2 new digital versions of tortured poets#i dont care for charli bc she loves matty and screwed over rina#but shes been doing it for every girl who has released an album after her#a billionaire with no shame#ok which now that i think about it u cant tell me part of her is not blocking charli bc of matty

jackie did i ever talk to you abt my sprace musician fic
im sure i have at some point
uve told me about the spot is in a band and race comes to see it one?
#jack's hawkin the headlines !!#you got it racer ! asks#btw for spots band i think. that the brooklyn/speakeasy name fusion would be a sick as hell album name.#im a fan of spot conlon and [insert thing here] for the band name itself#or they do something silly and call themselves the great mistakes but like. both bc theyre a sad kinda band sorta guy#and because thats what brooklyn papers called it when brooklyn was voted to become a borough of NYC instead of staying its own city#i havent read the new chapter of sasfmmd that u posted tho#so if uve committed to smth i havent seen it yet /lh#this is all my opinion tho so whatever u wanna do is cool#i'm also biased bc i have an oc and his band is in the “name and the xyz” format#starboy and the voids of jupiter (my beloveds)#sorry i rambled in the tags again#RIP </3

a pet peeve i have is when articles about video games have headlines like "this game is like [popular game] and [other popular game] combined !" like do you have any idea how little that tells me besides "we want clicks from fans of Those games"
#fucking...... skyrim meets dave the diver in new hit indie game !#Okay so is it. fantasy dragon realm fishing sim. sea-based RPG. what is it#can't you just fucking describe the game gkfjdjdkd#i get it i get it it's a headline it's supposed to be eye-catching yadda yadda But#can a game have its own merits without you boiling it down to ''it's just like this other game !''#like it just feels like you're calling it a ripoff And failing to give me any information on it without clicking and giving you ad revenue
