Hey guys, I have more questions…

Are we gonna talk about how Mira wore a sleeping bag to the Met and then the Saja Boys used the exact same thing as their disguise before the signing??

They’re fans. They absolutely have done research.

So can we talk about how the Saja Boys not only knew what a boyband was, but had fucking bops ready to go with full choreo and knew how to act just like one in order to fool humans… compared to the fake flight attendants who watered plants with hot coffee and couldn’t buckle a seatbelt?

The funniest thing about reading fandom stuff on the Saja Boys, as someone with a background in the performing arts, is the sheer number of people commenting on how Jinu must have worked his butt off to find four random demons and teach them to be Kpop stars while also running everything behind the scenes for all the technical stuff.

And like, yes, that's a super funny headcanon, I've absolutely been giggling at them.

But also, with my personal experience with the performing arts... absolutely no way Jinu was the only performer Gwi-Ma got onto his side. Like, the I've met people in way better circumstances than Jinu who would absolutely sell their soul to make it big. And the fact that all five of these guys look extremely similar to Jinu even in their demonic forms indicates, to me at least, that there's a good chance that they were all former human musicians themselves.

Therefore, with all this in mind, I will put forth the humble suggestion:

Jinu didn't round up a random group of demons behind Gwi-Ma's back and train them from the ground up.

Jinu held freaking auditions behind Gwi-Ma's bacl and brutally narrowed it down American Idol style to the best of the best in order to assemble a crack team for his plan, and the other four members were the ones who made the cut.

"But Trickster, he was the only one who would get anything from Gwi-Ma for doing this, what would the other four be doing this for?"

For the chance to be performing in front of tens of thousands of adoring fans and be worshiped as an idol, naturally. I mean, have you seen the things real-world people will go through to get a chance at that? And these guys have already sold their souls for a chance at this, why not team up with the best performer in the demon realm for another chance at it?

Also, I think Baby was in charge of their TikTok account. He's just got that vibe to him, you know?

I know “Idol” by the Saja Boys describes a toxic/abusive relationship, and people see some lyrics directed towards Rumi.

However, there’s a lot to explore how the lyrics in “Idol” relates to Jinu’s relationship with Gwi-Ma.

The lyrics reinforce several things that Jinu’s already disclosed earlier on in the movie, all of which relate to Jinu’s perception of himself and Gwi-Ma’s treatment of Jinu, as well all the other demons.

Given the overall plot of the movie, the “Idol” lyrics represent how the boys are embodying the power and manipulation of Gwi-Ma as they lead the entire audience to their deaths— to be ultimately consumed by the fire of the demon king

The Saja Boys are likely singing words that were spoken to them at one point by Gwi-Ma, parroting the same phrases that they were told to the audience

Just saying I think this plan was a long time in the making (they really just wanted to have fun but needed a reason to justify it to themselves) and that when Gwi Ma got all cranky the bros were like “our time has comeeee. jinu- jinu stop petting the tiger we need you to pitch us!”

So can we talk about how the Saja Boys not only knew what a boyband was, but had fucking bops ready to go with full choreo and knew how to act just like one in order to fool humans… compared to the fake flight attendants who watered plants with hot coffee and couldn’t buckle a seatbelt?

When you have a very specific niche fic concept in your brain, except in order to find a beta, you need somebody who:

Has seen Stargate Atlantis

Has seen the OG Roswell show from ‘99

Is just as unhinged as you because youre about to put canon in a blender and play with one of the most controversial villains

Thoughts? Questions? Concerns?

Guess Im drinking wine then…

🇪🇺🇧🇪🇱🇺🇳🇱🇬🇧recall of coca cola branded drinks due to contamination with cleaning fluid🇬🇧🇳🇱🇱🇺🇧🇪🇪🇺

first recall is belgium, luxembourg, and the netherlands🇧🇪🇱🇺🇳🇱

second recall is united kingdom🇬🇧, might be more to come

(and also some were shipped to france and germany and other places in europe, no recalls there (yet?) 🇫🇷🇩🇪)

Coca-Cola has recalled its drinks in some countries across Europe because they contain "higher levels" of a chemical called chlorate.

...

Chlorate can be produced when chlorine-based disinfectants are used in water treatment and food processing.

...

Affected products include the Coke, Fanta, Sprite, Tropico and Minute Maid brands, according to the Belgium branch of Coca-Cola's international bottling and distribution operation.

...

The company added the issue has affected "a very small number of imported cans" of Appletiser, Coca-Cola Original Taste, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke and Sprite Zero with production codes from 328 GE to 338 GE" which Coca-Cola said can be found on the base of the can.

...

Exposure to high levels of chlorate can cause health problems including thyroid problems, especially among children and infants.

emphasis mine.

Cans of Coca-Cola Original Taste, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, and Sprite Zero sent to cafes and restaurants are being withdrawn as well as 6x250ml Appletiser multipacks sent to UK supermarkets.

...

The affected cans carry production codes from 328 GE to 338 GE on their base.

emphasis mine.

this is an ongoing situation with some really confusing messaging trying to downplay how many drinks this is, and may involve more countries, more products, and more recalls down the line.

the long story short here is a TON of coca cola drinks in europe have the leftovers of cleaning fluid in them, and there are probably going to be a lot more developments here.

it is a good time to avoid coca cola drinks.

I never hesitate to full on cackle when I see this

this was a historical moment in television

Girl understood how to work ppl.

Glinda really had an entire musical number expounding on the theme of "success in life is not about being highly qualified or even competent, but manipulating people's superficial perception of you." and then she went into POLITICS. truly the #girlboss representation the world has earned

Isnt that Ewan’s brothers call sign in the military??

I see your point though, and it’s a good one.

I really wish Obi Wan would've had a kid so he could name them Obi Two

[arrowsbane]

I am stupidly chuffed at how this turned out. Giving massive end of summer/rich autumn vibes. Cant remember where I found the background, I think it was one of those mailing lists. Now the question is: what should I do for my phone?

[arrowsbane]

we don’t give obi-wan enough credit for the wrought iron balls he had to talk to maul like that. a guy world reknowned for overreacting to perceived slights asks him “anything more to say? before we get the ball rolling on me wiping the floor with you, does your smart ass have anything else you wanna spout off? i’ll seriously take any excuse to make this worse for you, i want you to do it, give me just one reason to kill you even harder” and obi-wan looks that dude in the eye and proceeds to call him short
