Agatha All Along 1x04 - If I Can't Reach You / Let My Song Teach You Transcript

It's hilarious how Agatha is annoyed that Jen questions her about her own lyrics. Then she has to stand there while everyone claims Lorna Wu wrote the most popular version of the Ballad when Agatha was the one who originated the song in the first place.

But she can't say anything to preserve the con. Truly the only enemy Agatha seems to keep losing to is to herself.

(Also, when Agatha's really mad but can't say why, Agatha flips her hair back.)

Hello friends, fans, haters, etc. Tonight I want to talk to you about Places You Can Find My Stuff, subtitled Way Too Many Social Networks parentheses Some Are Worse Than Others. Footnote: you can find these all on my Linktree, which is of course linked in my profile. First, allow me to shill for Mastodon/The Fediverse. This one is cool & important for huge nerd reasons, but you don't have to be a huge nerd to use it. The general orbit I've fallen into there is extremely diverse, particularly neurodiverse, and above average in thoughtfulness and measured takes. There's no algorithm, no ads, and tons of pet pictures. Plus posts are called toots. The biggest con for me is that when I signed up in 2018, I tied myself to the basic noob server mastodon.social, which is not well-regarded, and switching instances is still difficult and incomplete enough that I'm staying there for now. Bluesky really does feel for me a lot like the twitter of yore, although maybe slower (non-pejorative) and populated by people who have been through the last decade & are just so tired. I don't post on twitter anymore. It is lost to literal nazis and scammers. Its owner is one of them. I'm on Tumblr as of recently. It's got some good niches and they're commendably apt at cyberbullying the CEO. If you use Tumblr at all, please go follow me. I'm posting for an audience of maybe five people over there. Threads: Stopped boycotting when they finally let users add alt text. I am supremely peeved with the way it takes two clicks/taps to get from the "for you" feed to your "following" feed, the first of which is non-obvious to make. Dark patterns, but what else do we expect from Meta? Instagram: Meta is a demerit. And I'm pretty sure The Algorithm is punishing me for my refusal to use it as though it were TikTok; I don't post or watch video and they hate me for it. I don't even do "stories". But I post the daily comics there for my second-largest number of followers there. Facebook...it's bad. This we know. But it is where I have been the longest. And it happens to be where I have the largest following by an order of magnitude. There's a good crowd that hangs around my page there, and it's where I get the most comments and interactions. If you're still there, you could do worse than having me in your feed.

calle, mikko and eichel for the send me a character ask thing >:)

hehehe taylorrrr <33

i confess im terrible at remembering my first impressions so thats gonna be the least filled out part but lets get INTO it

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Cale: “Everyone has been talking about this man’s rosy cheeks and -- wow, he really does have rosy cheeks”

Mikko: [vague absorption of names you hear when you’re watching a game but you don’t know what’s going on][oh yeah that mikko rantanen guy is an av]

Eichel: “The guy who’s kind of bitchy”/ lbr it was mceichel slashfic

IMPRESSION NOW

Cale: Sweet little rosy-cheeked milkmaid of a babygirl. That hair looks like a baby bird. Dude is a nerd, and probably going to be the Avs’ next captain. That Conn Smythe run was memorable as hell, and I’ll always remember him as a playoff performer, even though the Avs are literally all hurt. Except Mikko.

Mikko: HART 2023 WINNER IN MY MIND. For some reason to me (ngl, my opinion on the Avs is “favourable but I don’t think about them”) he is the only Av who played the whole season -- he carried the entire fucking team through that early-season hell where everyone was really really hurt, as opposed to only mostly hurt like they were in the back half (plus Natemac was back). All this has cemented to me that he is an underappreciated big beautiful blonde moose of a man. Great tits as well if i have to be honest.

Eichel: My bitch wife. Mad respect for being apparently the only hockey out there who knows how to take care of his body (i see u going right down the tunnel when somethings wrong instead of trying to tough it out on the bench. Yesssssss). Robbed of the Smythe. People keep trying to say that he’s not better than McDavid -- this is obvious, but that’s not the point! Also I think it’s funny that that attitude (read: self-respect) has caused people (sabres fans) to note him as a locker-room cancer. It turned out that it made him a playoff performer instead. Not that I want VGK to win more Cups (for purely petty reasons, namely that my leafies should win out), but I do look forward to seeing him tear up the playoffs from here to kingdom come. Also, he’s not objectively handsome but i want him carnally.

FAVOURITE MOMENT

Cale: Just watching him skate/man the power-play. His edges are gorgeous, he’s really in the top tier of pure skaters out there. Also the Stroopwaffel Incident

Mikko: Hm. Probably that one media where they had Avs do the heart hand thing and he didn’t understand it? Himbo supreme. Just so large, and so beefy, and so stupid

Eichel: Do I really have to say it?

IDEA FOR STORY

Cale: He is the barmaid that the cowboy (natemac?) sees when he enters the mysterious Old West town’s saloon for the first time. He’s got this sort of quiet demeanour that everyone knows not to mess with, because he’s smart as a whip and he’ll get you if you don’t know what’s good for you. Maybe it turns out he’s also the rival gunslinger and we can have this Dark Cale against nate. (and then they kiss)

Mikko: Equal parts romcom boyfriend and werewolfcore. Werewolf boyfriend. I’m sure there are no paranormal romances with a plot that can be established in this manner

Eichel: I’m still on the mceichel train I prommy but I admit the eichel section in scheherazade was really quite fun… I’d like to stay a little bit in that universe, only not plunking auston in just having him already be there. The eichelston teammates to ex-teammates to teammates again to lovers. They could be gossipy haters together. They could kiss under the moonlight. 

UNPOPULAR OPINION

Cale: I think this new failgirl era (questionable concussion treatment) is a dangerous trajectory for him. We’ve already seen many, many NHLers with promising careers interrupted or cut short by concussion mismanagement, and Cale is one of the best and brightest of the younger generation. I’d hate to see him go down the path of someone like Kariya.

Mikko: HART 2023 WINNER IN MY MIND!!!

Eichel: I’m not sure if eichelthirsting is unpopular or not (or if any of my opinions are unpopular really), but that is what i’m going to say. I saw pictures of him post-Cup with his shorts rolled up all the way and that leg exposed to get the Cup tattoo, and. Awooga. 

FAV RELATIONSHIP

Cale: Cale x a good nights sleep, cale x stroopwaffel. I think natecale is probably a pleasing one, just because they’re both Canadian Weirdguys, but i’m going to be honest I haven’t read many Cale fics. (Yes, to anyone who might b reading, this IS an opportunity to drop your fic recs in here. Id love em)

Mikko: Arsirane, I don’t have time for messing around

Eichel: McEichel, just because of that juicy juicy Narrative. They don’t have any personal beef with each other, but if you lock them in a room I bet they’d complain to one another so much about the media that they’d start spontaneously kissing. 

FAV HEADCANON

Cale: ex-emo kid. We’ve all seen that one photo of him with the bad black hair dye job, whether it’s real or not. I would just like to state that I also believe he can bust out I Write Sins Not Tragedies on the karaoke machine if he is JUST this side of drunk and horny enough.

Mikko: Reportedly funny, but probably the kind of funny where about half the time he doesn’t realize that what he’s said is hilarious, but everyone else laughs at it anyway (he doesn’t mind this. It’s a point of pride)

Eichel: im gonna vote him Most Likely To Kiss His Teammates Platonically On The Mouth 2k23

Artículo sobre RM en Noisey {26 May 2015}

https://youtu.be/2n3m9xVqKiYRM está demostrando que la hipótesis sobre los idol raperos de Corea es errónea.

Es hora de empezar a tomar la estrella de BTS en serio como un rapero.

Sentado directamente en su sitio, escuchando en silencio las preguntas planteadas y pensando cuidadosamente antes de responder, Kim Namjoon es el sueño de un maestro. ¡Tan atento y educado! Pero él no está en el aula, y él no es un estudiante. Es un rapero en el set de Sexy Brain-Problematic Men, un programa de entrevistas coreano. Mejor conocido como RM, el joven rapero fue seleccionado como el panelista más joven del espectáculo a principios de este año (2015) por su IQ (148), su puntaje en el examen de simulación de escuela secundaria (1% superior en el país) y su inglés (se enseñó a sí mismo) En el programa, el elenco discute todo, desde aspiraciones de qué carrera estudiar que se plantean en la escuela secundaria hasta primeras rupturas, además de resolver acertijos como "¿dónde diez y tres equivalen a uno?" RM resolvió fácilmente ese (en un reloj, si te lo preguntabas), impresionando rápidamente al resto del elenco.

RM es una estrella en ascenso dentro del mundo del espectáculo y, con todo lo que ha logrado en los últimos dos años, el título le sienta bien. El cerebro de 20 años debutó con el grupo de hip hop BTS en 2013 y ha estado en un calendario sin interrupciones de actuaciones y programas de música, apariciones también en programas de variedades, fansigns y giras desde entonces. En menos de dos años, BTS ya tiene cuatro mini-álbumes, un largometraje y un lanzamiento en japonés. Suena que esmucho, pero solo están un poco más que el horario promedio de los grupo de idols. Tal vez no es lo que se imaginó cuando comenzó a rapear a los 13 años o más tarde, cuando él y sus amigos (incluido Kidoh de Topp Dogg, el finalista de Show Me The Money 3 Iron y el productor Supreme Boi) formaron Daenamhyup, pero eligió la vida del rapero idol y finalmente parece estar alcanzando el título. Él es el líder de BTS, y se toma muy en serio el éxito del grupo.

Ahora que BTS ha obtenido exitosas ventas de álbumes, bastantes victorias en programas musicales y una exitosa gira (¡llegando a los Estados Unidos en julio!), RM ha podido enfocarse más en proyectos personales. Recientemente colaboró ​​con MFBTY en su pista "Bucku Bucku". RM dice ser tímido en compañía de la grandeza de MFBTY, pero su postura en el video dice lo contrario. Casualmente se encoge de hombros ante los comentarios de otros raperos con un "¿Es eso lo mejor que puedes hacer?" Y bromea que incluso su mierda huele a jazmín. (También hace un cameo en una escena en otro vídeo de MFBTY , "Bang Diggy Bang Bang").

https://youtu.be/2n3m9xVqKiY

A pesar de estar ocupado preparando nueva música y haciendo promociones con su grupo, RM todavía manejaba proyectos en solitario como la colaboración con MFBTY y la más reciente Primary-U. En la canción, que es suave y sentimental, se vuelve realmente dulce, lo cual, si no estás familiarizado con el trabajo del rapero con BTS, es posible que no lo esperes de él. Primary es un productor establecido que ha trabajado con Dynamic Duo y Zion.T.

RM no solo tiene grandes nombres en el hip hop coreano apoyándole, sino que también tiene el respaldo del veterano estadounidense del hip-hop Warren G. El verano pasado, él y sus compañeros de BTS viajaron a Los Ángeles para un entrenamiento en el hip-hop, donde fueron educados en todo, desde la historia hasta la danza y el beatboxing y, con Warren G como su profesor, compositor de canciones. A pesar de no ganar el desafío de composición en American Hustle Life, la mini serie de Mnet que documentó su educación, él dejó una fuerte impresión en Warren G y los dos se unieron a principios de este año para trabajar en "PDD", en el que RM le pide a sus haters que permanezcan vivos para presenciar su éxito y les da la bienvenida para el viaje.

https://youtu.be/rJC7WGrrbzU

Dirigirse a los haters ha sido un tema destacado en la música de RM desde que decidió trabajar con Big Hit y BTS. Se ha dirigido al rapero B Free por bailar y usar maquillaje, y más recientemente, al novato de YG, Bobby. Aún no hay un final de insultos hacia los raperos que forman parte de un grupo idol, quienes no son considerados raperos de verdad y son una burla de los mismos, pero los insultos en lugar de despertar dudas, son una fuente de fortaleza para el rapero. En el concierto de BTS Begins de marzo, RM realizó una cover de "Too Much" de Drake: Aunque sonaba vulnerable y atormentado cuando lo subió por primera vez a Soundcloud hace un año, ahora sonaba poderoso y decidido frente a una gran audiencia.

El creciente atractivo del rapero proviene de la forma en que representa a todos los que superan con creces la imagen de chico bueno porque necesitan algo más. En el fondo (bueno, no tan en el fondo) sigue siendo un nerd que piensa demasiado y lo intenta demasiado, pero ahí es donde reside su encanto. Él sabe que tiene un My Twisted Dark Twisted Fantasy en él, pero está más cerca de artistas más jóvenes como Earl Sweatshirt y Chance the Rapper en espíritu, y eso es emocionante.

Su nueva fuerza se puede escuchar alto y claro en RM, en el mixtape que lanzó en marzo. En "각성" o "Awakening", directamente dice: "vete a la mierda, soy un idol", una etiqueta que admite que una vez odió pero que ahora ama. Solía ​​dejar que los insultos le llegaran, pero se dio cuenta de que el hecho de ser un idol es la única munición que tienen sus enemigos contra él.

https://youtu.be/JKBM9y3EuDQ

Aunque ha superado esto último, el rapero todavía no se ha superado a sí mismo. Él es claramente el tipo de artista que agoniza en cada detalle y nunca está satisfecho, y puedes comprobarlo al escucharlo que pensó mucho en cada canción. "목소리" o "Voice" establece un tono serio, comenzando con una suave melodía de piano y RM reflejando el punto de inflexión que lo llevó al hip-hop y el viaje que ha tenido desde entonces. Recuerda la emoción de escribir su primer rap y que era un insatisfecho estudiante de secundaria que no sabía que necesitaba esa salida hasta que puso lápiz en papel para algo más que la tarea.

La pista destacada de RM, "Do You", con su ritmo de metrónomo, su composición pulida y su fría confianza, muestra la cantidad de trabajo que ha puesto en su oficio. Realmente ha logrado lo suyo, no solo como solista, sino también como líder de un grupo dinámico cuyos miembros lo admiran y respetan. En "Do You", se niega a ser definido. A él no le importa lo que digan sobre él, si no les gusta lo que lleva puesto, o si no creen que sea auténtico hip-hop lo que hace. Reconoce su fuerza y su potencial para impactar realmente el hip-hop coreano, a través de la música pop y una nueva generación de fans, quienes, aunque no sean exactamente fans de hip-hop, son de de RM y seguirán su ejemplo. Él es Kim Namjoon, RM, y está aquí para mostrarte cómo se hace.

‘The Last Jedi’ Is the Worst ‘Star Wars’ Movie, but Its Haters and Stans Are Both Wrong About Why

Star Wars: The Last Jedi mind-tricked its audience. As if in homage to the galaxy in which the film is set—divided as it is between the Dark Side and the Light—Rian Johnson’s 2017 installment in the saga sparked the most preposterously binary set of responses to a franchise film in recent memory. Read about this continuation of the Disney-owned sequel trilogy (begun and soon to be ended by J.J. Abrams) and you’ll quickly feel the pull of two opposing Forces, demanding allegiance. Broadly speaking: Is it a heartbreaking work of staggering genius that redeems the Star Wars concept by having the courage to toss it aside, or is it a million childhoods suddenly crying out in terror and then suddenly silenced…by incipient white genocide?

I say it’s neither, and man am I tired of having to say it, but before I see Solo I’ll give it one last shot. The Last Jedi is my least favorite Star Wars movie by far, but not for any of the reasons most of its detractors cite, nor for those against which its champions array their defenses. The misogynistic bigots whose response to the film is essentially “Why isn’t there a White History Month” will have to settle for running all three branches of government; they won’t get me to agree that a story driven by vivid and charismatic characters played by natural-born movie stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, and Domnhall Gleeson—the best things either TLJ or its immediate predecessor The Force Awakens have going for them—represent the collapse of the West. Nor am I going to agree to their terms of debate the way so many proponents of the film have, acting as though hidebound nostalgia at best and bald-faced reactionary fury at worst are the only reasons to take issue with this movie. The Last Jedi has its moments, but its faults are many—and too often obscured by the Sith vs. Jedi nature of the debate surrounding it.

Right up front, let’s forget the idea that TLJ represents some bold act of iconoclasm—a creatively courageous attempt to unmoor the franchise from nostalgia. There’s a substratum of angry nerds who think believe this and hate it, and a separate group of critics and critic-adjacent people online who believe this and love it. I really don’t know how either group comes to this conclusion about what is, after all, the ninth Star Wars movie. It’s got dark lords and chosen ones, lightsabers and Star Destroyers, cute aliens and cute droids, you name it. Rey’s parentage may have been rendered a non-issue (in a desultory rip-off of the mirror sequence from The Never-ending Story, but whatever), but Kylo Ren is still the biological descendent of the main characters from both of the previous trilogies. And this is the guy—the bad guy, might I add—who utters the “let the past die” mantra so many critics and detractors alike seem to have taken to heart as the film’s mission statement. Again, this is the ninth Star Wars movie. If you want to let the past die, go watch or make a film that doesn’t co-star characters who debuted 40 years earlier.

To the extent that writer-director Rian Johnson did wipe the slate clean, the effect was not a healthy one. Dispensing with the pattern established by all the other movies, Johnson resumes the action right where The Force Awakens leaves off. Leia, Poe, Finn, C-3PO, BB-8, and the rest of the Resistance core are still on their home base from the previous film; so little time has elapsed that they’re still waiting for the First Order to show up and chase them out of there when the movie begins. Elsewhere, Rey and Luke’s storyline resumes mid-conversation. Because of this, our first images of our heroes take place in places we’ve already seen, rather than dropping us head-first into new ones—not even the familiar desert/forest/ice archetypes of The Force Awakens, which were at least different planets than the ones from the original trilogy, if not different types of planets.

The bulk of the story takes place on Luke’s island, a couple of spaceships, and finally a single patch of a desert planet that simply substitutes salt for sand and adds a little red dust for flair. The plot concerns Rey trying and failing to convince Luke to get up off his ass and Kylo Ren and General Hux picking off Resistance ships one by one, Battlestar Galactica–style (to put the resemblance kindly, though if you called it a knockoff I wouldn’t object). Mysteries aren’t so much solved as canceled: Rey’s parents are nobodies (a theoretically interesting idea delivered in perfunctory fashion) and the mysterious Supreme Leader Snoke gets jobbed out before displaying a single interesting characteristic except being unusually tall and having cool red wallpaper. The film ends with the characters hiding in an abandoned garage some guy’s trying to break into, pretty much.

In short, this is the first Star Wars movie in which the world feels smaller at the end of the movie than it did at the beginning. It’s an attritional film, one that whittles away until only a tiny fragment remains. The manic thrill of discovery and creation that made the original trilogy so culture-changingly compelling—and which makes the much-maligned prequel trilogy, which you can read persuasive defenses of here and here, a gloriously weird work of art on the Speed Racer level if nothing else—is almost entirely absent. (Almost: the trip made by Finn and his new ally Rose to that casino planet has that wild and woolly feeling to it, which paradoxically may be why people dislike it; Leia’s Force-enabled spacewalk is a poor substitute for getting to see her with a lightsaber in her hand but it’s still good audience-rousing fun; the Porgs, of course, are perfection. But that’s thin gruel to spread across two and a half hours of running time.)

This is the first half of my lengthy essay for Decider on why I don’t like The Last Jedi. I just got so sick of seeing the debate, both pro and con sides, framed entirely in terms set by bigots or “my childhood!!!” types, and wanted to open up other lines of criticism and inquiry.
