#my gafs… they died 😔

[kdsburneraccount]

happy gameday to the falcons if they make the playoffs i will draw penix with more effort 😐👍

fake yuri (nba genderbend) under the cut 🧍

[3600frames]

filled out my bingo more than a week after banwalk dropping (long post under the cut)

not too bad considering i ran out of actual ideas halfway. the lighter circles are definitely me stretching things to get a bingo LMAO

finn collabed over tweets: admittedly this was mostly a guess since i thought "deliberately seeking a collab with someone your band mate wanted to collab with for an entirely separate band" might be Too Much. and then we found out that kikura is just The Most

pearl made amends with sashimori: tfw no mention of The Former Vocalist 💔 you can't take pearl calling him paul-kun away from me and i have trouble imaging she'd call someone she isn't at least acquainted with by that

geta-gai: a gai and geta mentioned in the same double-spread... and if you overlay those pages...

GETA-GAI 🤯🤯🤯

confirmation of c-side vocals: okay i'm not actually sure how they would have done this besides describing how their vocals sound which the previous book didn't do at all. mostly i was trying to wrap my head around the vocal assignments being considered entirely confirmed here (to the point that it's even on the wiki) and meanwhile it's still considered ambiguous in the JP fandom

cameos in abxy stream: i thought this would be a given but no... and shikaku's bio makes it clear that the other three don't seem to gaf much about other bands 😔

ikkan is balding: unconfirmed either way... and the scariest thing is he's out there

life-ending 彼/彼女 usage: thankfully adverted. i didn't see even one of these explicitly gendered terms, compared to the few times that they came up in haikara walker

damp socks doomed to irrelevance: why would you call them damp socks FEAT. off the hook and then put off the hook's bios first!!!! current projection is pity fanart once every few months

"it's a likely theory that (x)...: only straight-up text here thank god

趣味は散歩。: what is the greatest walk if not walking away from society and your loved ones,

shrimps snubbed: SHRIMPS SNUBBED!!

blue-ringed octo angst: confirmation of obvious species but no angst associated with being a highly venomous species and playing an instrument that needs a spit valve. instead they are simply OP (praise)

sqsq/d-p/fr resolution: does it count when it's just one subset of the fandom of one of these bands. i was actually treating this as a free space this whole time since i know there's no outcome that would make truly all fans happy (have seen a distinct section of the JP fandom waiting for a straightforward sqsq revival)

obfuscation of front roe page: ADVERTED. just a deliberate withholding of information for two of its members

shima being from inkopolis: likely due to having a non-octoling childhood friend and being seemingly in sync with the overall inkopolis vibe. but not outright confirmed

misinfo due to google translate: frame 1 of when crusty photos for the ordertune booklet appeared,

no mention of acht/paul connection: maybe he's just really attached to that specific beanie for unrelated reasons...?

in their wet flop era: no mention of them besides having inspired another band → in their flop era (together ❤)

why (x) da bus driver all of da sudden: why nishida da director of the music cram school all of da sudden 😐.....

ω-3's thoughts on clickbait: non-existent due to not having a section despite clearly qualifying as a returning band and there being an entire space on the last page after acht's that could've been for them instead of an abxy teaser. whyyy

now or never! is a haruhikage: i guess we'll never know. but still, watch mygo!!!!!.

ink theory in shambles: thankfully averted but i did fall to my knees when y&tgb was called "short-term". but it does make sense the returning three had a specific goal in mind and the other members are all highly accomplished musicians from different walks of life

deep lore in abxy livestream: alright it's probably just novelty burgers but it could be something fucked up 🤔 (really wants that bingo)

sandy side up explanation: no direct explanation, though the fact that it explicitly wasn't a collab from nearly the start does ultimately narrow it down a lot

fake kita-murasaki: not only was i on the mark for kitamura but MURASAKI is also a gangaze... i guess there's to be no rules against naming yourself/being named after a different species but. why tho

Joy of Life S1 Ep 42 liveblogging

watching for the 1st time, so don't tell me secrets ;)

Fan Xian seems really sure he's the emperor's son. Hmmmm Do I feel confident the emperor likes him, as much as a selfish schemer of his kind can like anyone? Sure. Do I feel confident at this point that the emperor thinks FX is his illegitimate kid? IDK because this could be another cover and he was actually helping her hide something. I'm just not at the place yet where I am taking that as an irrefutable fact.

The look on FX's face when Xiao En says as long as he knows he's a Xiao. Good acting! You can see the compassion FX has for him. He's not only ruthless and vicious.

"Don't bury me. I don't want to be underground anymore." 😢😔

"I am sorry I am not your grandson. Sit tight. You won't be bothered anymore." All of his dialogue in this scene is simple but full of sincere feeling. FX is not as wholly dark as he thinks he is. What a fantastic, complex character. I really like him.

That secret was indeed underwhelming for me but Xiao En had a fantastic arc.

Chen Pingping always has like 5 reasons for anything he does. Love that about him.

LMAO Chen Pingping even set up things so evil Princess' plot ended up giving FX a chivalrous bestie. (He reminds me a lot of Korn, the mafia kingpin from Kinnporsche. Can't predict everything but makes great bets based on all the variables he can control and his understanding of people's hearts. Willing to risk it all for the reward.)

Hi Gao Baokun! Ohhhhhhhh now FX is on the trail of Chen Pingping's 5th Reason. Teng Zijing was set up to be in that village! Hand selected to be positioned into FX's life. Just a pawn.

Gao Baokun is just a random loser who got dragged into the mud (but wait--we already knew he didn't try to kill Teng Xijing's fam in the end, and that part was the Bureau? Or at least I thought we knew that.)

It's touching that after all FX still trusts Teng Zijing. His one true friend! ❤

ahhhhhhhh Fan Xian is super pissed at his uncles. Guys you may have miscalculated this. Like my beloved Korn from Kinnporsche, Chen Pingping & Emperor want it all and are betting big that they can have their power AND their chosen people. Or at least the Emperor really wants both. Korn won the day in that drama (tho fandom keeps punishing him in fanfic). We'll see if FX can eventually forgive.

His Majesty is actually calling it out that they say to each other & perhaps even to themselves that they see Fan Xian as their baby boy and yet.... I like the emperor for his self awareness and inner conflict about his hypocrisy

Does Fan Jian truly think of FX wholeheartedly as his foster son? Are Chen Pingping and His Majesty actually having real trust issues..? Remains to be seen.

We're back with Yan Bingyuan and FX admitting this was a test for him.

Who's Xiao En's real grandson? Yan Bingyuan? ....... LMAO that took the drama like 3 min to answer. Yep it's probably him.

nah don't tell Bingyuan any disabling shit before you are out of the country 🙈 this man is already like an anxious chihuahua

I believe the emperor sees what I do: that a fealty to Qing & determination to make it the most powerful does not necessarily = fealty to the current emperor. Saying Chen Pingping is dedicated to the best for the country does NOT read like perfect loyalty to His Majesty. It's not that he's against the emperor or FX and doesn't gaf, it's just that his obsession for the bigger goal is what it is. A common fear that cdrama royalty has to grapple with. They both hunger for personal loyalty & can't trust it.

oh is it Shen sister? She's way more fun than her erstwhile boyfriend, let her in!

lol that's right Bingyuan, give us nothing

FX just watching the drama because Bingyuan is too obvious

So..... Now Fan Xian wants to be the Investigations Bureau head and a top official.... to find out how mom really died and get revenge? 🤔

Your hamster post resonated with me so much! I swear people dont treat small animals with the same respect as they would a larger pet like a dog. Haha my hamster died farting 🤪 (they kept their hamster with other hamsters when they're known to be highly territorial) but even when they mistreat their pets it's so hard to speak up because so many people take it as a personal offence or 1. Dont have the money to do better 2. Dont have the space to do better 3. The excuse of "i havent seen them fighting so far so i think theyre fine" it is agonising.

hi anon!! yay i’m so glad it made sense to you as well!! i completely agree — people don’t take the time to understand how to care for small animals even though imo they’re harder to take care of than dogs as they can’t communicate as easily!! which leads to so much ignorance and whatnot and it sucks. i think people like to play it off as a joke and whatnot because it lets them escape accountability and introspection (generally people don’t like acknowledging that they were wrong) but that’s exactly why nothing will ever really change. honestly when you think about a lot of the deaths that people joke about though they are HORRIFIC like genuinely torturous ways to die but because it’s “just a hamster” or “just a mouse” nobody gaf.

i do think that the reputation hamsters have as pets for children also doesn’t help sadly 😔 they’re so small and delicate that most kids SHOULDN’T have them as pets (this is also where a lot of the ignorance comes in) but they’re cheap and readily available so people don’t care. this def sounds hypocritical of me to say as i got my hamster when i was like 7 or 8 but my parents didn’t buy her for me until i made a powerpoint explaining how to care for one, facts about them, and a general budget for the purchase and upkeep!! LMAO but obv most kids aren’t that dedicated they just get one play with it for a week and then cast it aside which inevitably leads to something bad happening to it…anyways yeah idk literally two minutes after making that post i saw another post on here basically just making fun of how hamsters die and everyone was laughing in the comments and someone WORD FOR WORD said “why do hamsters never have normal deaths” UGHHHH IT PAINS ME!!
