@valkxrie :// { bumping this along }

Ben faces his screen down and bites his knuckle. Rolls his eyes way up at the ceiling. At himself? Yes, at himself, wondering for a blink at how guys got away with saying these sorts of things in person? In public spaces? It seems impossible. He has to pick up another shot as he picks up the phone.

[Just Ben 12:34:07] Ha.

[Just Ben 12:34:14] Is it a pickup line if it's true?

of photoshoots, hot search, pants & bjyx 🫶🏼

i’m putting this out now incase i get busy at work later and won’t have the time to compose a post. but this is the cpn and some thoughts on what happened this morning. aside from us barely surviving bazaar��s attack! those photos are amazing! i haven’t recovered yet and i cannot wait for the interview ✌🏼

( using this as a header cause the photographer said it’s their fave)

days before this release, there were already some melons about the magazine cover. i personally shared the one about wyb cause the source seemed legit and fan clubs were confirming too. aside from that, it was also supposedly the day that marie claire will release teasers for xz’s january cover. tho i remember hearing before that his is supposed to be march. again, we can never be so sure with these melons. magazines don’t really care about overlapping with their release cause it depends on the season/month. today for example, there are 3 other magazine covers released aside from yibo’s.

however it’s interesting that it didn’t happen between xz and wyb. they totally could. even just the teaser wouldn’t hurt. i may just be clowning too hard and going by their pattern of not having their project overlap but i think this is an example. or maybe the melons were all false.

Anyway, this morning, xz marie claire was on hot search cause the teaser was supposedly gonna be posted 10:05 but there was nothing. which is not surprising cause it was a rumor. it was funny tho how people were effectively clowned 😂😂😂

it’s v interesting to see both their names + magazine cover on hs. this is why magazines would always love to feature them cause of the audience they bring. aside from the quality and professionalism too. years later, they are still relevant and will be for a long time!

there are also some side by side edits by cpfs because of the tank top they wore. they really do match! tho a small part of me is kinda wary when things like this are shared cause it could easily be picked up and used as xz vs wyb by brainless yxh. for international spaces the likelihood of that is small so it’s really more on weibo.

the fans have good intentions and i understand the tendency to but their similar shoots side by side and all that— i guess i’m just paranoid at times 🙃🙃

their beauty is so effortless!!!! and they both gravitate towards keeping things simple & real.

this too, the curls! the hair! i will forever be thankful that the military haircut era is over and hopefully shall never return!

the shoot also made wyb’s lip mole more pronounced. it reminds of the fake rumor that wyb said xz took away his mole. lol. he didn’t! it’s still there and they match 🫶🏼

MY FAVORITE THO IS HOW XIAO ZHAN WENT ONLINE REAL QUICK then went offline again. I remember probably 11:48? and he was online for 13 minutes. Some were low key in panic mode cause what if he posts something? Is he gonna share something about Marie Claire? It’s on HS already so it would make sense. But no. This bitch went online and dipped 😂😂😂😂

The posting for WYB’s materials was 11-12 so he went at the perfect time when all the photos are already released. So we are clowning that he is online to see the photos and save them all . Did he forget he was on his main and not side account? LOL. What a coincidence. Out of all the days and timeframe he can go online for bit, it’s now? When a certain someone’s magazine content is being released? 👀👀👀👀

Lastly, the pants WYB wore for the shoot is by Courreges which is the same brand ( not exact same pants okay? ) that XZ wore when he went to Singapore. Yes, the one we were clowning about. What a coincidence! 👁️👄👁️

that’s all. i might post another part to this if something comes up. happy monday ^^ 🦋

*puts on powder blue oversized cheap scratchy used-car-salesman suit jacket*

ok lemme sell you on these shows!

home fires: v soapy wwii homefront cosy drama about the wives/etc left behind after all the men are conscripted, who all join the women's institute. they make jam from the blackberry bushes to help the war effort! the switchboard girlies are all eavesdropping gossips! there are secret lesbians! female pilots! farmers! housemaids with big dreams! the book it's based on was called "jambusters" if you wanna know how unserious and unbleak it is. there were only two seasons (12 eps in total) and when it got cancelled by itv, people were like... petitioning the government to force them to carry on making it lmao. i'll give it a 7/10. it's just something nice to have on in the background with v little effort.

tenko: THEE love of my life. no other tv show can come close. it's about british/dutch/aussie/chinese women in singapore at the outbreak of war who get captured by the invading japanese army and put into pow concentration camps. at one point there is a death march through the jungle. there is lots of disease and torture and starvation and misery and death and all sorts of violence and no one is safe. and at one point they plant some of their beans in the hope of doubling their food ration but then have to leave them behind #heartbreak :(((( this makes it sound bleak BUT! it isn't! i promise. it's sooo dramatic, about fifteen plot points happen every episode. people you trust turn out to be dicks, people you hate turn out to have a heart of gold. people you thought were main characters die. everyone wears the same outfit for years, getting more and more disgusting as the episodes continue. the women are all literally revolting and scabby and stained. there are barely literate housemaids, colonial toffs, suspected lesbians, cockneys, landed gentry anarchists, secret jews, dutch nuns, communists, the boymom from hell, a cat called pudding, all sorts all shoved together like one big ensemble comedy from hell. it's sooooo good. the first couple of episodes are kinda slow before everyone loses their marbles and the drama begins, but bear with it ok, it is 100000% worth it. 11/10, my fave period drama of all time.

First of all, I love this. I asked for copy on my desk by morning and you delivered, fantastic. I'm also laughing because Masterpiece promos made Homefires seem like a very serious drama and what you are telling me is much more appealing.

Also LMAO at 'petition the government' when I found out the BBC canned The Crimson Field I was ready to CAUSE PROBLEMS. Unforgivable. An act of aggression.

Twenty years around the world by John Guy Vassar 

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/70180

LoC ClassG: Geography, Anthropology, Recreation Subject    Voyages around the world Subject       Voyages and travels

PREFACE.

Early in life the author of these letters suffered from ill-health, and necessity obliged him to seek more genial climes in order to escape the rigors of our northern winters. Duty towards his only brother and a beloved uncle induced him to sketch his travels, and keep them advised of his movements. His letters passing into the hands of kind friends, for perusal, led to further inquiries; and demands for publication in a weekly paper in his native city, were the result.

He has always hesitated to come before the Public, although constantly solicited and urged by his friends to do so, as a duty he owed to society; at length, through constant importuning, and to avoid the clamors of those he loves and esteems, he has concluded to accede to their wishes. This book is the result.

Traveling becomes a passion with some, and in this instance, a decided one. Necessity at first, with improvement in health, and finding himself better on the move than when quiet, sight-seeing and obtaining general information became more and more desirable.

After having seen every State and Capital in his own country, his desire was to visit every Capital in Europe. After having seen the antiquities and works of art of Italy, Greece, and Turkey, his ambition led him to see the older objects of Egypt and Asia Minor. Then came the desire to visit the Celestial Empire, and the East Indian world.

The West Indian Islands brought a disposition to see those of the Pacific, and those of the Mediterranean, the Levant, and the Polynesian, Canary, Cape de Verde, Azores. North America,[vi] including the Canadas, having been seen, South America in all parts could not be neglected. Northern Africa, Egypt, Syria, Algeria, and Morocco had been visited; but the western and south-western coast of Africa, the Gulf of Guinea, demanded their share of effort and exposure. When in China, he desired to visit Japan, but Commodore Perry had not yet made a treaty. While at Singapore, he wished to embark for Australia; but no opportunity offering during the typhoon season, he was obliged to renounce the idea. Last Spring he made an attempt to get around from the south coast of Africa, but without success. Had he succeeded, his twenty-one years of travel would have probably closed his extended wanderings, as the whole world would have been seen, large portions of it having been repeatedly visited.

He has great reason to be thankful to the Almighty for his preservation of life and health. Surrounded by dangers of every name and nature, while scores of his companions have been swept off by shipwreck, cholera, fever, assassins, and barbarous tribes of savages, or Indians, he has passed unscathed and unharmed.

So a lot has happened... this will just be written as I remember things :D I've restarted online Korean lessons! The new teacher seems lovely. The goal now is to also open the grammar book soon :D

This weekend I've done a lot of clothes shopping. 2xjeans, bras, shirt, 4xleggins, 2xsweatpants... i spent so much money :( but i really ran out of clothes. shirts i have plenty of but trousers and dresses all went through a lot.

I also put away clothes I don't fit right now. I bought 2 more boxes at pepco and emptied my wardrobe of things I don't need, put them up in the loft. I also threw away 10 bulky bras that were taking up so much space and that I no longer wear.

Speaking of the loft, i finally took the sheets off the bed and washed them. ... now waiting patiently for step 2 :P putting them back on and wanting to sleep there.

And, speaking of clothes I don't fit. Weekends are a problem. I'm eating well during the week and then the weekend comes and I undo it all. I definitely need to plan on Friday and do the shopping so I stop eating sweets and ordering lunches that aren't good for me but uh >< the struggle is real.

I was supposed to meet Mr.I last weekend but I cancelled it because I felt sick and then this week he did the same so we pushed it to next year :D

I made plans with E to go to Dresden next weekend. Tickets purchased :) it'll be just a day trip but I haven't been there in the 8 years I've lived here!

Another place I hadn't visited before that everyone talks about is Stromovka. But a few weeks ago I finally went there :) The weather was horrible for the trip back but it was quite lovely for the actual walk. I took some pics I really like. I also slipped on the ice and fell down in front of a lady with a dog - the dog loved skating on that ice lol :D

I haven't been able to participate in any more protests because they overlap with my work hours, but I did manage to do two things.

I went to a Doctors Without Borders fundraiser for Gaza and bought 800czk worth of things. I got some pins and a little wallet that I sent to L as a part of our server's Xmas exchange. I forgot to put the MSF pin in the envelope but that's not a big problem for reasons I'll explain later. I am more sad that I didn't make the envelope more fun but I realized too late that if I didn't send it straight away, I wouldn't do it until a week later and that was toooo late.

I also paid for a 2gb esim that I hope will go through to someone in Palestine who needs it.

At the fundraiser I also bought a watermelon hairclip for my watermelon loving friend V. I will give it to her in February when... we go to Singapore and Cambodia together!

After some waiting all flight tickets have been purchased and all accommodation booked. The rest we have to do closer to the date - visas, sim cards, tour bookings etc.

I'm excited :D I'll see L there and bring her the pin - i find it funny because it's in English and Czech so I think it's be hilarious for her to wear it in Singapore. And I'll pick up the season's greetings I ordered through her <3 (which I have yet to pay for!)

We are, by total accident, landing on CNY so we're definitely going to Chinatown first night to experience THAT :D and then one day I'll revisit some parts with V, see some new things in the city too. And 2 days I plan to spend on the beach and doing the treetops walk finally! I'm kinda hoping D will be able to join us but it's unsure as of yet.

And then we're going to Cambodia which will be one big temples viewing trip and genocide museum sadness and food extravaganza. I'm wondering if I should invite E to this trip...

But! I'm trying to not be too excited so for now that's all I'll say about the trip :D

During the absolute worst of weather I finally went to that shop near Mirak to get A the bag. Luckily they still had the white one (sadly no black one for me :( ). On my way back I stopped by the Christmas Market and had an overpriced trdelnik and a nice raid with only 4 people that we won in the last second. It was fun!

I finally finished sense8 a few weeks ago. I have to say it was a bit more boring than I remember it but ok, I'm glad I finished it.

I also finished MDWAP :( I did find out that FINALLY The Unbelievable Truth hosted by David Mitchell is on a podcast so I'm listening to that now, and I've downloaded Dan Carlin's Hardcore Histories, all the free ones, for the next listening. I'm just glad I'm enjoying things again lol.

I watched some music shows - aaa and a gayo, idk which one :D - with the server and had a lot of fun. Han and Seungmin running back to the stage when 3racha FINALLY WON AN AWARD was so much fun :D

And of course, Dan and Phil are back and they are not only doing their Christmas videos but also giving me reasons to share squees with T on whatsapp :D

Feeling some kinda way about all these people right now O.O

—————

Shampoo Bottles

It’s Saturday, something Akaashi doesn’t realize until he is flying halfway out his front door and huffing a breath at his phone screen’s mocking display: 6:30 AM, Saturday, June 14th. Exactly a week before Hinata’s birthday.

He blinks and remembers the night before, when he was nursing a red wine and a deadline for his “Ono Natsume: Shouting for the Voiceless” article. He remembers, vaguely, submitting the piece at 11:50 and dropping his head right there on his cheap Ikea desk, exhausted.

Presently, he’s nodding awkwardly at his neighbor (leaving the complex to work out, no less) and trying to make it look, somehow, like he meant to open his front door only to close it seconds later.

Toeing off his work shoes and entirely caught off guard by the idea of a day off, Akaashi retreats to his bed. He passes out almost as soon as his foggy head hits the pillow, dreaming of nothing. The next time he opens his eyes, his breath and body still completely.

“Mornin’, sleeping beauty! It’s ten, I’m surprised you slept so long!”

“Kuroo-san, why are you in my apartment?”

The offender offers no answer but grins brilliantly, gold irises level with Akaashi’s blue-green.

“And just how long have you been here anyway?” Kuroo ignores him again, instead choosing to stand from his squatting position. His hands at his hips, Kuroo wears a white oversized Bouncing Ball hoodie and black skinny jeans. Much to Akaashi’s discomfort, he still has his shoes on- red and white high top sneakers with the laces tucked in. As always, the guy’s flawlessly disheveled, silver jewelry glinting from his ears and neck.

Akaashi groans and plants his face in his pillow. It’s too early for the young, beautiful, and rich.

Kuroo, unsurprisingly, doesn’t yield Akaashi’s thoughts and scoffs once. He moves to draw open the curtains in his room. Keiji can’t help but grimace as he feels his skin bathed in hot summer light.

“Man. You should really dust your windowsills. Do you even ever open these things?! You’re not some bat, ‘Kaashi. You need fresh air.”

“I think bats need air too,” Akaashi mumbles into the pillow.

Kuroo waves a dismissive hand and turns to survey him, arms folded across a broad chest. Keiji reluctantly turns his head to address his stare, squinting without the aid of his glasses or contacts. Kuroo’s bedhead is seemingly even worse today- probably from whatever plane he just hopped out of. The latter smirks devilishly.

“Well. Are you gonna welcome me back or what?”

“So you didn’t expect to land in Tokyo until Thursday?” Akaashi asks this of Kuroo about 45 minutes after his intrusion into the writer’s apartment. The pair are getting brunch in some needlessly swanky rooftop restaurant, one where Kuroo insisted he wouldn’t get recognized. Akaashi raised his eyebrows at that- his friend had stuffed his signature messy locks into one of Akaashi’s ratty baseball caps and donned aviators the moment they got outside.

No matter to him, anyway. Akaashi got fancy champagne out of the deal.

“Sure didn’t. Management canceled the show in Singapore last minute. Something about the venue. Fuck if I know,” Kuroo explains almost incoherently through colossal bites of egg.

“What matters is nobody got hurt. We refunded tickets and rescheduled the gig. S’all good. I’m just happy to be back home with my buddy!” Kuroo reaches over to slap Akaashi on the back with a friendly grin.

He’s sputtering over his mimosa when Kuroo continues, “Can’t wait to surprise Kenma tonight, either. Can you imagine his face?"

“Yeah, actually, I can,” Akaashi slouches his shoulders forward in his chair with an uninterested expression and quirks up an eyebrow ever so slightly, impersonating his best friend.

“Hey, that was pretty good! Though I guess it’s not that hard for you. You’re both pretty stoic. Like Easter Island Heads.”

Akaashi swats at him half-heartedly. Kuroo laughs.

“Anyway, you’re lucky I didn’t call him immediately this morning- or the police for that matter,” Akaashi says matter of factly. Kuroo clutches at his heart dramatically.

“Akaashi-kun. You wound me. I am the furthest from a criminal.”

Akaashi huffs a laugh.

“Tell the Osaka police force that.”

“Hey! What, a guy can’t take a piss anymore?”

“Not, apparently, from the top of the Umeda Sky Building-”

“To be fair, I didn’t know the police officer was right there,” Kuroo interjects.

“-After downing half a bottle of Malibu with Oikawa. And you were 17. You were lucky you didn’t get charged with public indecency.”

Kuroo pouts but offers no petition.

“Guilty as charged, I suppose. Hey, speaking of police officers-”

Akaashi clears his throat and interrupts, “Speaking of drinking, how was Singapore?”

Kuroo takes the hint and stretches back in his chair, raising his third bloody mary to his lips.

“Didn’t get much time there, only about four days before I got the call about the cancellation. Flew straight here after the news.”

Straight to Kenma, Akaashi supplies mentally, grinning fondly at his friends’ relationship.

“Anyway, it was pretty mild, all things considered. Bokuto seemed to like the clubbing scene more than I did. Matter of fact, he’s staying there ‘til the next concert.”

“Bokuto?” Akaashi says, cutting into his eggs and watching the yolk spill onto his fork.

Kuroo, now onto his nearly 2,500 yen crepe, takes a break from his meal to look up at him with a puzzled stare.

“My tourmate? Bokuto Koutarou? X. Ace?”

Akaashi meets his eyes blankly.

“I guess it makes sense his stage name doesn’t ring a bell, but I’m surprised you don’t know about the guy’s v-ball career.”

The blue-eyed 24 year old drops his gaze to the napkin in his lap.

“Sorry, sorry. Touchy topic.”

Pain-in-the-ass-Kuroo-san.

“Anyway, you should really check out some of his matches with the Panthers.”

“He was signed with the Panthers?” Akaashi sputters, clapping his mouth shut immediately after.

Kuroo cackles.

“Don’t give yourself a heart attack, Akaashi. It’s okay to be impressed- it’s impressive. He’s crazy. You’ll be meeting him soon.”

Akaashi only hums in response.

"You're coming to the show, right?"

Akaashi hums again.

"Big talker today, huh, Keiji?"

"Bah."

“Right. So.. you baited yourself a hook yet?”

“Beg your pardon?”

“You know. After Daichi,” Kuroo tries again.

No, he really hasn’t.

Akaashi downs the rest of his drink. He peers into his empty glass in response.

“Haven’t thought about it really. He said it himself- I don’t have the time.”

“Oh, Keiji. Nevermind him.”

“Don’t sigh like that. Did you fly all the way from China to pity me?”

The rapper shakes his head, “No, I didn’t. I just want you to-”

“Be as happy as you are with Kenma,” Keiji finishes.

Kuroo gives a gentle smile, “Can you blame me?”

“God. You two are worse than the shoujo manga I have to review.”

“But twice as fun.”

“Shut up and eat your crepe.”

Kuroo happily complies, “Don’t have to tell me twice.”

“I’m glad you’re home, Kuroo-san,” Akaashi remarks. And he is. Even with his busy lifestyle as a chart-topping artist, Kuroo somehow manages to draw Kenma and Akaashi out of the house.

Kuroo and Kenma are both relatively new to their fame- about three years out from Kuroo’s first breakthrough hit and four since Kenma first started his Bouncing Ball Youtube channel- but their fans are… dedicated. Akaashi often marvels at how even Kenma takes it in stride. He's entertaining to watch and a seasoned video game expert. And Kuroo... Akaashi looks to the man and the ketchup stain on his lip.

"What?"

Well, they both deserve their good fortune.

"Nothing, nothing."

He has interviewed them each multiple times for the journal. The good thing about his friends’ famous status is that Akaashi gets to profit from it as well. He tells Kuroo as much and the latter almost chokes on his stupidly expensive breakfast laughing. Even Akaashi cracks a small grin.

“I told that was him!” The writer hears two girlish voices behind him, talking in excited whispers.

“E-Excuse me, K-Kuroo-san?”

The rapper breaks out in a large grin and stands, bowing formally at the pair.

“Yes? Hello, ladies. Are you two fans of mine?”

“Yes!! Very much so! I loved your new song!” The girl, about 17 with dark lashes and fire red hair, praises politely.

“Would, would you mind taking a picture with us!?” The other chirps.

“Not at all! Akaashi, my pal, would you be a dear and snap some shots?” It takes everything for Akaashi not to roll his eyes.

“But of course.”

--------------------

This is how Akaashi comes to search up the 2018 Panthers roster on his phone’s Google. He gives up his sleuthing when he realizes he doesn’t remember the guy’s name or know what he looks like.

He forgets about the whole thing until later that night, at Kenma’s celebration party for 5 million followers. It’s small, of course, about ten of them drinking champagne and playing drinking games. Akaashi knows Hinata did all the planning anyway, despite the event being at Kenma’s. The trio is standing off to the side when Akaashi pulls out his phone briefly to check the time.

Kuroo should be here any minute, he thinks. Hinata peers too, instinctually curious.

“Hey! Whatcha looking up the Panthers for? That’s not the latest roster, you know! Ooh, you’re looking up X-Ace, right?! Seeeeee, I knew you’d like him!”

Akaashi looks down at the picture Hinata points to. The guy’s sturdy and smug with one thick eyebrow raised. His chest is broad and his eyes are perfectly golden. The first thing Akaashi notices, however, is his hair. Absolutely ridiculous, he thinks. Makes sense that this guy’s Hinata’s idol.

Kenma raises his eyebrows.

“What made you do that?” he asks.

“Oh, uh, just...curious.”

Kenma looks like he’s about to say more when Oikawa joins their group with a boisterous, “Pudding Head! Congratsssss!” He pinches the smaller’s cheeks, who just about hisses in response.

Akaashi, grateful for Oikawa’s interruption, takes another quick glance at… X-Ace, and pockets his phone.

Hinata grins wide when Tooru, seemingly already a bit tipsy, ruffles his hair.

“Thanks, Oikawa-san," Kenma begrudgingly replies.

“You know, Kuroo is-”

Akaashi, ever vigilant, cuts in immediately, “-is so happy for you, Ken.”

Oikawa seems to get the hint, his eyes widening in realization.

“He sure is! Want some more alcohol?” The chestnut-haired friend of Kuroo’s quickly shoves his bottle of strawberry rum in Kenma’s face.

“You know I hate your sticky Malibu. Why are you guys acting all weird?”

Hinata, completely oblivious to the unspoken diaogue between Akaashi and Oikawa, tugs Kenma’s shirt.

“Kenma, Kenma! We should stream!!”

“Hey, that’s not too bad an idea, Shoyo,” Akaashi adds, if just to distract him.

“Sure, we could play some Mario-Kart. My fans seem to like you guys. Just don’t do anything stupid, Tooru.”

“Who, me?! And when do I-” Oikawa starts dramatically. The rest of the men send him a collective stare which answers his question before he can even finish it. He crosses his arms with a huff.

“Whatever. I call Princess Peach.”

--------------

After Kenma finishes setting up the Livestream and the small group has gained over a couple thousand viewers, Akaashi is in dead last as Blooper. Well, almost dead last, expect for...

“How am I losing? No fair, Kozume!” Oikawa whines.

“Me? What did I do?” Kenma-san replies, uninterested. Unsurprisingly, the Youtuber is in first place with his signature Toad.

“I don’t know, your fancy settings or something. Iwa-chan! Back me up, here!”

“It’s ‘cause you suck, Trashy-kawa,” Iwaizumi-san, whom the quartet bribed into playing with agedashi dofu, doesn’t hesitate to retaliate. His player, Bowser, is in second, with Hinata close behind as Yoshi.

“Take that, Hajime-san! Oh, shoot, sorry, Akaashi-san!” Hinata shouts, rising from his seat as he hurls a red shell, accidentally hitting Keiji.

“Hinata, language!” Kuroo’s smooth voice floods the apartment in mock disapproval. Kenma whips his head so fast he drops his controller. The blonde doesn’t say anything but slowly rises to his feet, then breaks into a short run at the sight of his boyfriend. The former picks up Kenma effortlessly and twirls him in a tight embrace. Akaashi looks on fondly.

“Kuroo-san!” Hinata exclaims, jumping up excitedly.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever, Tetsuro’s home. I’m about to kick all of your asses!” Oikawa waves away his entrance, sticking out his tongue. Iwaizumi slaps him on the back of the head.

The stream chat has exploded at the sound of Kuroo.

bb-corp: is that Kuroo???

applephi: NO WAY djwhdnbwibdfwq

yoyotetsuro: couple goals

kurokenxx: will anyone ever love me like Kuroo loves Kenma?

keeeeenmaaa_: I think this is the first time BouncingBall’s lost at Mariokart

----------

A little tired and a lot tipsy, Akaashi insists on taking a cab home. It doesn't feel right to invade Kenma's when the Kuroo's home. Keiji could tell the pair... needed their space for the night. He splits the ride with Hinata, who talks his ear off the whole way about Kuroo's arrival and how badly he wishes he had the money to go to a concert. Akaashi smirks at that, just a little. Shoyo exits the vehicle with an enthusiastic, "Bye, 'Kaashi-san!! I'll see you soon! Maybe I'll come to the store, or, or, you can come to see me and Tobio-chan! He didn't come out tonight because he has a game tomorrow, but-" The rest of his goodbye is drowned out by him closing the door.

"I apologize for the noise," Keiji addresses the driver. She makes a noise of recognition and drops him off 15 minutes later. He thinks about his conversation with Kuroo about "baiting his hook" as he enters his living room, dropping his keys unceremoniously on the floor next to his door. What does that even mean? Akaashi doesn't exactly meet a lot of people with his work and his friends are all, well, with each other. He's happy for them and all, but sometimes being around so many couples gets a bit nauseating. Akaashi is struck with a small wave of loneliness when he waters his small bamboo plant, made worse by the two shots of Malibu Oikawa shoved down his throat. This is all I have to come home to, a fucking bamboo plant. Akaashi stares at its braided stalks with a vengeance. Not a second later, he pets the leaves in apology. I shouldn't take this out on the plant.

He's always been relatively independent, but having someone felt kind of... nice, for a change. It's been almost a year since Daichi left, and probably 6 months since he and Suga got together. It's one of those things that Akaashi didn't process for awhile, forcing him to fend for himself when the realization came to knock him on his ass months down the line. He's been confronting turned over picture frames and empty sheets ever since.

And so it goes.

He pads over to his bed with a sigh and for the second time today, falls asleep and dreams of nothing.

'I don't want.'

Thumbing the bottom elevator button, Ben hesitates, holds his breath, and prepares to ask Brunnhilde what she means when his phone dings. A giant gulp of air hits his lungs like a good fix. 

"Hah." He pulls in on the pin, screen still warm from his cheek. "I'm actually a few blocks away. A few minutes?" 

The elevator doesn't come, and Ben jogs down eighteen flights of stairs out into the downpour and ducks into the Lexus that should be parked inside. Between the slowpoke with Jersey plates and the sheet rain, Ben arrives at Brunn's location seven minutes later, pulling right up onto the curb of E90 and 5th, where the trees behind the stone wall bow to the sky. 

Ben watches her through bokeh for a moment before he rolls down the window—so he doesn't come off as a complete maniac. Brunnhilde stops and turns like something belonging to the woods. 

"Hey," he frowns, waving a rain-slicked hand outside. "Get in."

NOVEMBER 2019 BC ENTERTAINMENT SCHEDULES & REVIEW

Members may earn 3 points each (up to 6 points) for writing, by the end of December 7 KST:

A solo para of 400+ words based on their monthly schedule (does not count toward your monthly limit).

A thread of six posts (three per participant, including the starter) based on the monthly schedule.

Threads and solos do not have to take place directly during an important date listed on the schedule, but must be related to what the muse is mentioned to be doing in the paragraph explaining their schedule/the company’s schedule for the month and/or their thoughts on the mentioned activities or lack thereof.

These schedules may be updated throughout the month if new information needs to be added.

Reminder: October schedule posts are due by the end of November 7 KST.

Overall Company

It’s the quiet at BC Headquarters through the end of the year after a noisy year. Talk about Goeun has died down to a manageable level, thanks in part to BC‘s own influence, and she’s yet to be heard from publicly since the ruling of the case was announced. It feels as if what’s to come is more confidential than ever.

Important dates:

N/A

BC Soloist 1

Awards season begins this month after she takes a short trip overseas to perform in Singapore. Her award shows performances for the end of the year will be either a  combination of “Hands on Me” and “Why Don’t You Know” or a full performance of “Why Don’t You Know” (with a new performance wardrobe a bit more appropriate for the weather), depending on how long of a performance spot BC is able to negotiate for her. For the Asia Artist Awards, she’ll be doing a full performance of “Why Don’t You Know”. In comeback news, at the beginning of the month, she’ll meet with management again to go over the finalized concepts and demos for her now internally confirmed January comeback. This mini-album will play up a perhaps slightly more confident and girl crush concept than her first and BC is showing their confidence in her by giving her a title track written by a songwriting/production team responsible for many of the company’s other female act’s popular songs like BEE’s “Touch My Body” and even WISH’s biggest hits. This month, she’ll do all of the studio recording for the mini-album.

Important dates:

November 3: Performance at JTBC Seoul Marathon After Concert in Seoul, South Korea.

November 9: Performance at KAMP Global 2019 at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore (also performing: Unity and Lucid).

November 26: Performance and attendance at the Asia Artist Awards at Mỹ Đình National Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam (also attending: Decipher, CHARM, WISH, 7ROPHY, Impulse, and Fuse).

Decipher

The title track choreography and b-side choreography continue to be drilled into the members, but they’re veterans at this by now, so they’re expected to already have it down by the beginning of the month. From there, it’s the more marketing focused comeback preparation, including the shooting of concept teaser photos, album cover photos,  outfit fittings, and finally, the MV filming. Day one of MV filming will cover the drama scenes from the MV while the second day will finish any scenes from the first day and involve filming the performance aspects of the MV.

Important dates:

November 15: Stage and M/V outfit fittings.

November 16: Nene Chicken fan sign in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, South Korea.

November 23: “Overcome” MV filming day one.

November 24: Performance at Pepsi #ForTheLoveOfIt All Four Seasons Concert at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul, South Korea (also performing: Dimensions Soloist 2, MARS, 7ROPHY, and Lucid).

November 25: “Overcome” MV filming day two.

November 26: Performance and attendance at the Asia Artist Awards at Mỹ Đình National Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam (also attending: BC Soloist 1, CHARM, WISH, 7ROPHY, Impulse, and Fuse). 

              ↳ Decipher R & V

No schedules for the month.

Important dates:

N/A.

BEE

For the members of BEE, this month is mostly filled with rehearsals to make sure all of the necessary choreography for their upcoming concerts is cemented in their minds. There will only be one special stage in the set list, a dance cover of Britney Spears’s “Womanizer”, which they’ll meet with a BC choreographer to learn this month. Additionally, they’ll be filming another CF, this time for a mobile game called 1942 Pacific Front. They’ll record the CF song early in the month and film the CF itself mid-month.

Important dates:

November 16: 1942 Pacific Front mobile game CF filming.

Knight

They don’t have any public schedules this month, but they’ll begin preparing for a January comeback. They’ll do all of their studio recording for the mini-album this month and during the last week of the month, they’ll begin learning the choreography for the title track and b-side “Play Hard”. They’ll do their photo shoot for their 2020 Season’s Greetings package this month as well. The members haven’t been officially spoken to about plans for 2020 other than continuing their tour, but word is the members are being considered for unit work other than White Knight next year and it isn’t clear if the members have been decided yet or not.

Important dates:

November 16: 2020 Seasons Greetings shoot.

November 29: Initial comeback stage and MV outfit fittings.

            ↳ White Knight

No schedules for the month.

Important dates:

N/A

Lipstick

On the sixth, the members film their comeback music video. It’s a low budget music video by BC’s standards, but as Lipstick’s third comeback of the year, it’s more important to the company that the group has a new single to entice fans to come see the encore Seoul concerts that will end their tour than giving them an award-winning video to accompany the single. Before their comeback, the members will also shoot for a group Season’s Greeting package for their fans and film a Christmas-themed CF for BC Card.

Important dates:

November 6: Glue M/V filming.

November 8: Prima Donna tour concert at Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

November 9: Prima Donna tour concert at Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

November 12: Season’s Greetings photoshoot (reference).

November 14: BC Card CF filming.

November 27: Release of “Glue” digital single, promotions continue until December 27.

              ↳ Lip Gloss

No schedules for the month.

Important dates:

N/A

CHARM

CHARM comes back on the 11th of this month and promotions aren’t as packed as they were for the group’s other comeback this year. It’s only a digital single and is intended more to tide fans over and advertise the beginning of their world tour next month than be a moneymaker comeback. They will be making an appearance on Knowing Bros, though, where they’ll perform “Hit” and “Very Nice”, as well as introduce themselves and play games like musical chairs. At the end of the month, major award season begins with perhaps a less major award show, the Asia Artist Awards, in Vietnam. They’ll leave for Vietnam on the 25th and return to Seoul on the 27th to get back into promotions. When they have time, they’ll also be in rehearsals for their Seoul concerts next month, which will feature remixed performances of many of their songs.

Important dates:

November 8: Knowing Bros episode filming (to be aired: November 23).

November 11: Release of “Hit” digital single & showcase, promotions continue until December 11.

November 21: Performance at Blue Dragon Film Awards at Paradise City in Incheon.

November 26: Performance and attendance at the Asia Artist Awards at Mỹ Đình National Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam (also attending: BC Soloist 1, Decipher, WISH, 7ROPHY, Impulse, and Fuse).

              ↳ CHARM U

CHARM’s main vocal 1, main vocal 2, and performance unit leader/main dancer/sub vocal are called into a meeting at the beginning of the month without previous explanation. During the meeting, it is revealed to them that they’ve been selected as the members of CHARM’s (first) official sub-unit, following in the footsteps of the sub-units both Decipher and Knight have debuted. The sub-unit, dubbed CHARM U, won’t be promoting until April of next year, but they will begin preparing this month since they will perform the sub-unit single during the full group’s tour before its official release. The single has been chosen from a song that was being worked on initially as a full group song. A long-term future isn’t currently planned

Important dates:

November 1: Announcement meeting.

WISH

"Whatta Man” didn’t do as well as BC had hoped and doesn’t seem to be on track to have the sort of longevity WISH songs usually enjoy. This had led to the media beginning to make more comparisons between WISH’s digital performance this year versus Femme Fatale’s hit summer comeback. It’s not ideal when BC has been working to take back their number one title from Gold Star, but WISH is still their best performing group digitally, all aspects considered, so they can’t be pushed aside like the company may have done to an older group. Members of the group will be granted a two week break from November 2 to November 15 where they’re permitted to go on vacation, including leaving the country, unless they have individual schedules to attend to (members part of Shared Home’s main cast will have scheduled filming during this time) and as long as they’re on their best behavior. This vacation will be publicized to appease fans who have been upset about the members potentially being overworked. The members are also permitted to begin moving out of the dorm on the 2nd. The day of their return to normal schedules, the members are scheduled for a game CF and will then begin rehearsing for year-end stages.

Important dates:

November 1: End of “Whatta Man” promotions.

November 16: DX: War of the New Century CF filming.

November 17: 2020 Japan Season’s Greetings shoot.

November 19: Performance at ABU Song Festival at NHK Hall in Tokyo, Japan.

November 23: 2020 Season’s Greeting shoot.

November 26: Performance and attendance at the Asia Artist Awards at Mỹ Đình National Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam (also attending: BC Soloist 1, Decipher, CHARM, 7ROPHY, Impulse, and Fuse).

Day 19 Epilogue

The flight from Melbourne to Singapore was 7-1/2 hours long and my cunning plan was to stay awake to try and get onto UK time as soon as possible. That meant that, by the time we boarded the Manchester leg of the flight in Singapore, I’d have been awake for 25 hours😱 Maybe not the best plan, I’ll admit, but I was determined. Alan, maybe more sensibly, decided to have a kip

I was also determined not to know the rugby World Cup final score as I’d recorded it and wanted to watch it at home. More of that later, but I wore headphones or airpods for pretty much all of the journey home so as not to overhear any conversations and therefore, according to Alan, I talked in an annoyingly loud voice for the duration of our journey home.

The Singapore to Manchester leg was 14 hours long so I figured there would be plenty of time for a meal, movie, then 10 hours sleep.

I’d like to report that my experiment was a complete success.

Unfortunately, however, I can’t😟

I managed maybe three hours and arrived to the customary Manchester fog and rain welcome, knackered and still with a two-hour drive home. - Thanks to Thea for providing a life-saving bagel breakfast en route.

On the other hand, my other myth-busting experiment was a complete success...

Everyone knows, of course, that the water goes down Australian plugholes in an anti-clockwise direction, the opposite to the northern hemisphere, where the water goes down clockwise. Right?

Wrong!

Here is an Australian sink, filled with Australian water, moments after pulling out the Australian plug...

... so now we know, it goes down the same way, clockwise. Myth busted!

Except... If you think about it, in Australia, you are looking at the world from upside down so, if you were looking at that same sink, through a hole drilled from England, it would indeed be going down the hole anti-clockwise. In fact it would be going UP the hole anti-clockwise.

So, like everything in life, it depends entirely on your viewpoint so I’ll maintain an air of mystery on the subject and let you all draw your own conclusions.

Anyway, all good things must come to an end, and so we come to the end of our Australian Adventure, and also the end of this blog 😓

We had an amazing time. We met lots of interesting people and perhaps, like the plughole, we saw things from a different perspective once we got out into the wild on our bikes with our biker friends.

All the Aussies that we met were warm, friendly, incredibly hospitable and helpful people. Every one had either an interesting story to tell us, or were genuinely interested in the story of our bike adventure.

Now, I said I’d come back to the rugby. You may remember that we watched the England v Australia rugby quarter final in a club in Merimbula. To add interest, we put a $20 bet on England to win that match at 7.5 to 1.

Well, as we all know, we beat the Wallabies, but they wouldn’t pay out, claiming that I’d placed the bet on England to win the tournament, not the match. 🤬🤬🤬

We then realised that we would be on the plane back to England when the final was played, so we gave the ticket to Charlie before the All-Blacks semi final game, which we won so, all England had to do was win the final and Charlie would be $150 better off!

Unfortunately, as I have just found out, we didn’t win the final ☹️ so Charlie can’t go claim his winnings as compensation for the ordeal we put him through as resident blog curmudgeon and butt of all our jokes for two weeks.

Sorry Charlie, but you’ll just have to accept our thanks for being a great host, showing us your fantastic country, giving us an education in Aussie fauna and flora and putting up with us and our strange foreign ways - (Unnecessary sat-navs, Apple watches full of money, motorcycles with electric starts, tiny wireless telephones that fit in our pockets) 🤣 .In fact, anything introduced after 1967 🤪. I promise you that I will now get a move on, and finish my own Vincent restoration.

For those of you who like statistics:

Here is a map of our journey....

Ignore the mileages on the map. We actually covered 819 miles in the car and 1,541 miraculously incident-free miles on the bike. That’s over 150 bike-miles every day, often in dangerous conditions (thank you Alan and Charlie for leading me through it and putting up with me in general) - so we did 2,360 miles in total.

And that brings us to the end of this blog. I hope you enjoyed it.

Thank you for all your messages of appreciation and support and maybe I’ll do another one, one day.

POSTSCRIPT

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Inspired by their life-changing adventure, our intrepid heroes have all gone on to achieve greater personal success than they could ever have dreamt of before realising the extent of their true capabilities:

Following his encounters with his furry little friends in the wild, Alan has gone on to become the most successful koala breeder in the West Yorkshire area.

Charlie had an epiphany, cast-off his curmudgeonly veil and is now the most tolerant, happiest and most loved Vincent restorer in the entire southern hemisphere.

Andrew went on to win the Motor GP world championship, narrowly pipping Valentino Rossi to the title in the last race of the season and is now widely considered one of the all-time greats.

Liverpool suffered a discouraging loss to Red Bull Salzburg on Wednesday night, capping up their training camp in Austria. In preparation for the next season, Jurgen Klopp's team put in a lot of training over the off-season, traveling to Thailand, Singapore, and Austria. They were put to the test against the Austrian champions after hard practices in the Alps. Before the Reds take on Fulham in their Premier League opener on Saturday, August 6, Klopp will now concentrate on this weekend's match against Manchester City and a friendly against Strasbourg. Klopp used the game as a chance to have a good look at every member of his team. Salzburg defeats the Reds. Red Bull Salzburg defeated Liverpool in a discouraging 1-0 loss to finish Liverpool's disappointing pregame versus Manchester City on Saturday. In Austria, Jurgen Klopp shuffled his team, starting young players and periphery players before inserting his starting XI for the last 30 minutes. Benjamin Sesko, a 19-year-old Slovenian striker who has been linked to Manchester United and likened to Erling Haaland, scored a well-taken goal to end the game. Darwin Nunez missed a couple decent opportunities and hit the crossbar, while Trent Alexander-Arnold had a shot well blocked and Luis Diaz had a goal disallowed for offside. Elliott is prepared to begin for Liverpool. Harvey Elliott, who benefited from a full preseason, has promised to compete for a spot in Jurgen Klopp's starting XI this season. The 19-year-old midfielder thinks he has what it takes to fight with the club's stars for a starting position after starting on the left of Liverpool's front three on Wednesday night. "My preseason has been fantastic. That's what I needed; it's been intense," he told LFCTV. "The opportunities have been fantastic for showing off my skills and the many scenarios that go along with them. This season has been full of learning, and it will only become better as time passes. The next season excites me. I'm hoping I can go out and demonstrate once again why I ought to and could start for this squad. It will be difficult, but I'm available if required, and I'm always eager to give all I have to myself, the club, the badge, and the fans. "If you look at the team, we simply keep on bringing in more and more fantastic talent, so it's going to be hard," the player said. James Milner reveals the new look In his 20 years as a professional player, not much has changed—until now. Milner is poised to begin yet another top-flight season. Kostas Tsimikas' absence forced Milner to fill in at left back for the first half of the Salzburg match. As a result, Milner has grown a beard on the advice of Andy Robertson and Jordan Henderson. Hendo and Robbo jumped on me and shouted, "Go on, you need to expand it," a few weeks ago when we were in Singapore and were having a little fun in the treatment room. "I said, 'Okay, why not? I'll take the jokes. We'll see how it develops. We have two weeks left, so we'll see where it goes from here. They have a month of growth. Since they are in charge, if it is bad, it is their responsibility! &nbsp; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJHcoTI7vuY #supasoccer #epl7 #laligabbva #seriea2 #ligue180 #laligasantander #europeanfootball #bundesliga2 #eredivisie #uefaeuropaleague #uefachampions

He elbows his phone—phones, one of them vibrating—while fishing for cash in his inner coat pocket. It buzzes twice, but the work phone's always buzzing. His personal, too, usually with reminders for things he'd rather forget. Scoops his halal takeaway off the counter.

Currently, Ben's given up bread. He's not doing pork. He's not doing lunch with Patrick. Patrick's in office. Ben's at a publishing convention in Hoboken, suffering alone. Watching the spray of moles on his face move in the shop glass as he scrunches his nose; the tip notably pink, even against the bark of the planted oaks outside. Definitely coming down with something.

He parks himself and his titan's legs in a corner, bending over the industrial counter. Elephant standing in an overcoat, very careful not to become the proverbial. Save a stool, Stand on ceremony. Lunch is brief. His phone—which phone, why more than one phone? Why anything?— buzzes twice more, and he yanks it loose from his coat's jetted pocket.

The personal. Brunn. Ben quickly stuffs his smile inside his upturned collar. Types one-handed, his right a window shade to his phone screen.

[Just Ben: 11:20:15] Hard to say. My dad lost my cabbage patch. [Just Ben: 11:20:23] When's yours? Asking for selfish reasons.

NOVEMBER 2019 DIMENSIONS ENTERTAINMENT SCHEDULES & REVIEW

Members may earn 3 points each (up to 6 points) for writing, by the end of December 7 KST:

A solo para of 400+ words based on their monthly schedule (does not count toward your monthly total).

A thread of six posts (three per participant, including the starter) based on their monthly schedule.

Threads do not have to take place directly during an important date listed on the schedule, but must be related to what the muse is mentioned to be doing in the paragraph explaining their schedule/the company’s schedule for the month and/or their thoughts on the mentioned activities or lack thereof.

These schedules may be updated throughout the month if new information needs to be added.

Reminder: October schedule posts are due by the end of November 7 KST.

Overall Company

Dimensions is ending the year with a bang with the confirmed purchase of a new building they’ll be moving into in 2020 thanks to their financial turnaround in the last few years. The building is undergoing some renovations, so it’s not ready to be moved into just yet, but it is a good sign for the company overall.

Important dates:

N/A

Dimensions Soloist 1

She’s promoting on music shows for nearly the whole month and while Dimensions isn’t going all out on promo to let her wind down from getting back from her tour, she does have a university festival to perform at and two fanservice videos to film. There’s still plans for an album next year, but for now the focus is on her latest single and keeping fans engaged.

November 1: Performance at Yonsei University Festival (also performing: Gold Star Soloist 1, Gold Star Soloist 2, and Aria). 

November 7: Relay Dance video filming.

November 16: Part Switch Dance Practice filming.

November 29: End of music show promotions.

Dimensions Soloist 2

The beginning of the month offers him another chance to take some time off and focus on his own life and activities if he wishes. Dimensions doesn’t seem to be booking him for end of the year Gayos since they still want to keep a certain distance from the less general public appealing factors of the idol label, but the company has booked him for a Pepsi-sponsored concert at the end of the month alongside some of their other acts.

Important dates:

November 24: Performance at Pepsi #ForTheLoveOfIt All Four Seasons Concert at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul, South Korea (also performing: Decipher, MARS, 7ROPHY, and Lucid).

Gal.actic

Gal.actic finishes filming Gal.actic Beauty School this month, and it will begin being released to fans at the end of the month to tide them over until the end of the year. For the third episode, they’re back in the classroom again to learn how to make shadow with pearls, after which the comedian team will visit a dermatologist while the model team goes to a cosmetics store. Each team will then make their own moisturizer which they’ll have the staff try to declare a winner after playing a quiz game for ramyun. The model team ends up winning for the episode. For the final episode, filmed later in the month, the members will learn how to give foot massages as a full group before visiting a cosmetics company. The group will then go to have a meal and a series of games will be played to decide who gets to eat and who pays for the meal. In the end, they’ll give their final product presentations to a group of professors and the model team will win the final assignment. The members will then film a brief reflection on the show. Once it begins airing at the end of the month, it won’t be a smash hit, but it will begin to earn Gal.actic more female fans than they’re used to and get their name out for new shows and product endorsements. On top of their variety show filming schedule, the members will also begin recording in the studio for their next comeback mini-album this month.

Model team: Leader/main vocal, main rapper/main dancer/vocal, and vocal

Comedian team: Lead vocal, maknae/vocal, and lead rapper/lead dancer/vocal

Important dates:

November 3: Gal.actic Beauty School episode three filming.

November 24: Gal.actic Beauty School episode four filming.

Alien

Alien have four two dates this month overseas as well as two fan signs in Korea as a part of their continuing brand deal with Tony Moly. Near the start of the month, the Alien members will also get the news Dimensions has officially finalized a deal to sign them with an American label to help push forward their Western promotions. The deal means even more intense focus on the members learning English in their downtime this month.

Important dates:

November 2: We Are Here tour concert at Thunder Dome Muangthongthani in Bangkok, Thailand.

November 6: We Are Here tour concert at ICC Sydney Theatre in Sydney, Australia.

November 9: We Are Here tour concert at Margeret Court Arena in Melbourne, Australia.

November 15: Tony Moly fansign in Seoul.

November 16: V Heartbeat Awards at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, South Korea (also attending: Impulse).

November 23: We Are Here tour concert at Malawati Indoor Stadium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

November 30: Tony Moly fansign in Busan.

MARS

In addition to a performance at the end of the month at a sponsored concert, MARS have been announced to be preparing to hold their own solo concert in Seoul for the first time in a while at the beginning of 2020. They’re expected to review nearly all of their title tracks and their most recent and most popular b-sides in order to be prepared for the concert set list this month. They’ll be filmed during nearly all of their concert prep in order to provide behind the scenes content to fans, who will surely be eager to support them. There will be two special cover stages during the concert the members must work on preparing, too: “See You Again”/”Love Me Like You Do” (Main vocal 1, Main rapper/lead dancer, Lead rapper/vocal, and Maknae/main dancer/vocal) and “Gashina” (Leader/main dancer/lead vocal and Main vocal 2)

Important dates:

November 24: Performance at Pepsi #ForTheLoveOfIt All Four Seasons Concert at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul, South Korea (also performing: Decipher, Dimensions Soloist 2, 7ROPHY, and Lucid).

7ROPHY

Finished with their Japanese promotions for last month and approaching awards season, the members of 7ROPHY focus again on Korea this month with the news of their next comeback being confirmed for a January digital single release. They’ll record the song in the studio at the beginning of the month and then, in the second half of the month, they’ll get to work on the choreography.

Important dates:

November 24: Performance at Pepsi #ForTheLoveOfIt All Four Seasons Concert at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul, South Korea (also performing: Decipher, Dimensions Soloist 2, MARS, and Lucid).

November 26: Performance and attendance at the Asia Artist Awards at Mỹ Đình National Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam (also attending: BC Soloist 1, Decipher, CHARM, WISH, Impulse, and Fuse).

Unity

Three overseas performances comprise Unity’s schedule this month, spanning Europe, Asia, and America, as Dimensions continues to push them worldwide (to the dissatisfaction of some of their Korean fans). It’s good for them, though, as the tour money starts to come in an they get the news in the second week of the month that their debt with the company has been paid off in its entirety, meaning they’ll begin to get a percentage of total earnings from now on instead of a static monthly allowance.

Important dates:

November 3: Performance at the Europe Music Awards in Seville, Spain.

November 9: Performance at KAMP Global 2019 in Singapore (also performing: BC Soloist 1 and Lucid).

November 28: Performance at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, NY, USA.

November 29: Performance at The Today Show 2019 Citi Concert Series in New York, NY, USA.

Lucid

They continue to rehearse their comeback songs to maintain their reputation for perfect choreography while they continue forward with comeback preparations. On the 18th, their fanclub name and lightstick are announced, cementing Lucid as a group Dimensions is investing in fully. Dimensions is taking this comeback seriously despite it being the frequently acknowledged “black hole” of comebacks that is December, and this is evident by the brief appearance they’ll be making on Running Man to perform “Glass Bead” and “Me Gustas Tu” about a week before their comeback.

Important dates:

November 3: Comeback outfit fittings.

November 5: Comeback teaser photo shoot.

November 9: Performance at KAMP Global 2019 in Singapore (also performing: BC Soloist 1 and Unity).

November 12: Filming of Running Man appearance (to air: November 24).

November 17: “Rough” MV filming.

November 24: Performance at Pepsi #ForTheLoveOfIt All Four Seasons Concert at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul, South Korea (also performing: Decipher, Dimensions Soloist 2, MARS, and 7ROPHY).

SEPTEMBER 2018 BC ENTERTAINMENT SCHEDULES & REVIEW

Note: As always, individual schedules are up to roleplayers within reason. Any major individual schedules, especially those related to points claims, should be cleared with the main first. These schedules may be updated throughout the month if new information needs to be added.

Please like this to let me know you’ve seen your muse’s schedule.

Overall company

The company concerts last month brought in good profits and good media coverage and the court battle with Goeun has been kept out of the media for the first part lately (partially in thanks to BC’s own meddling), the hit taken from losing a member from one of their girl groups is fading at an optimistic rate.

Reminder: Following the news of the lawsuit with Goeun, BC has made it clear to all idols under them that speaking about the lawsuit publicly (be it through interviews, variety shows, or social media) is strictly prohibited.

September Company Schedules:

September 23-25: Chuseok (Idols will have time off from all schedules to spend with family or friends to celebrate the holiday).

Decipher

Their repackage release has been scheduled for December as a holiday present to their fans, so studio recording begins in earnest this month, meaning Decipher is working on a more relaxed schedule for their comeback than most of BC’s groups get the privilege of..

September Group Schedules:

Preparations for repackage album throughout month.

September 1: Performance at Incheon K-Pop Concert.

(October 6: Performance at K-Content EXPO in Jakarta, Indonesia.)

Decipher V & R

Despite early talks regarding a possible Decipher V comeback earlier in the year, focus has shifted to the full group now following the success of their last comeback and a comeback for either sub-unit is not currently planned.

September Group Schedules: On break.

BEE

Some posts on Pann and other fan platforms have gotten a lot of traction recently accusing BC of sexism due to their treatment of BEE compared to the company’s other senior groups Decipher and Knight. It’s not a big talking point with the general public, but BC doesn’t want fans to blow it up into anything too big since it could drag other issues they’re trying to bury back into the spotlight. A lot of talk is happening among the higher ups, but “a lot of talk” is about all the members know.

September Group Schedules:

September 8: Performance at HallyuPopFest at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore, Singapore.

September 15: BEExtraordinary Fanmeeting at The Mall Convention Center in Bangkok, Thailand.

September 29: BEExtraordinary Fanmeeting at The Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Centre in Hong Kong.

(October 6: BEExtraordinary Fanmeeting at Saitama Omiya Sonic City in Tokyo, Japan.)

(October 13: BEExtraordinary Fanmeeting at Zepp@BigBox in Singapore, Singapore.)

Knight

Focus is on recordings for their next album this month. This album is the company’s real push for award season since their releases earlier in the year haven’t performed as well in sales and impact as they’d like to be competitive for the number of daesangs Knight usually gets. Some of the songs were cut from earlier albums and saved for this one, so the recording load isn’t as big as usual, and the music video for the title track will be filmed in the first half of the month before the b-sides are completely finished recording. BC is aiming for an October comeback so that they can fit in a repackage before the end of the year.

*Their image with the public has been steadily improving and there’s talk they may be permitted to move out of their dorm after this comeback and repackage if this continues.

September Group Schedules:

Studio recordings throughout month.

September 1: Performance at Incheon K-Pop Concert.

September 2: Performance at Incheon Airport Sky Festival.

September 15: Performance at KBS Music Bank in Berlin, Germany.

September 27: Performance at 2018 Korea Sale Festa.

September 30: Performance at KCON Thailand in Bangkok, Thailand.

(October 5: Performance at 2018 Changwon K-Pop World Festival.)

(October 12: Performance at Industrial Bank Korea’s Good Concert with 2030 at Jamsil Indoor Stadium.)

(October 15: Performance at SBS Inkigayo in Vietnam.)

White Knight

White Knight remains only minimally active with one public performance.

September Group Schedules:

September 9: Performance at Spectrum Dance Music Festival at Jamsil Olympic Stadium.

Lipstick

Bingle Bangle is still charting in Gaon’s top ten and Lipstick has exceeded both the public’s and BC’s expectations of how they would fare without Goeun. BC groups rarely exceed expectations with how high the bar is set for them, but their continued success has BC no longer considering letting them slowly fade away like might have happened if they couldn’t perform as well without their main vocal. Plans for a tour are moving forward and are in the planning phases.

September Group Schedules:

September 1: Performance at Incheon K-Pop Concert.

September 4: To Vanity fanmeeting at Sungkyunkwan University New Millennium Hall.

September 8: Performance at HallyuPopFest at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore, Singapore.

(October 5: Performance at 2018 Changwon K-Pop World Festival.)

Lip Gloss

There are no immediate plans for the rest of the year for Lip Gloss now that Love City promotions have ended.

September Group Schedules: On break.

CHARM

Their comeback appears to be doing well, even with less laser-focused Korean promotions due to some time overseas for their tour, and management has told the boys that it looks like they’ll be cleared of their debt before long once all of the money from the tour finishes coming in.

September Group Schedules:

September 2: Fansign in Yeouido.

September 4: Ideal Cut Tour concert at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

September 5: Ideal Cut Tour concert at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

(October 7: Ideal Cut Tour concert at MIECC in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.)

(October 13: Ideal Cut Tour concert at Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.)

(October 14: Performance at SBS Super Concert in Suwon.)

WISH

September brings the end of music show promotions for their summer comeback, and with it, the end of their WISHland Zone 2 tour. WISH should be used to one cycle of promotions simply meaning the start of a new one, though, and so it goes, with their Japanese promotions and arena tour beginning as they also continue work on another Korean album, which will be released before the end of the year..

September Group Schedules

Preparations for comeback throughout month.
