@bts_bighit: 613 It was a happy day! I will take it out again and keep it well today, it will shine brightly 💜

[beautifulpersonpeach]

BPP, I was having a conversation with a friend the other day and we were going through the strengths and weaknesses (I am loosely using the word weakness but it’s more items they need to work or improve on) of each member and how because of this, BTS works and if any one member were to leave, it wouldn’t work anymore. In your view (and you may have already talked about this before but indulge me please), what are the strengths and weaknesses of each member?

***

Hi @zeeswords 💜

We'd be here all day if we listed out their weaknesses and vices cause lord knows they've got bucketloads.

Most people who spend hours watching the guys (aka the fandom), already know the many weaknesses and strengths of each member given how open the tannies are about showing it/talking about it. What makes your ask (and this topic) interesting IMO, is that what I might see as a weakness another person could see as a strength.

Take for example, Jin and his famed dancing ability.

That man is no dancer, but it's beyond obvious that he works hard to match pace. Jimin who is the best dancer in BTS, has mentioned several times that Jin puts in the work in the practice room. Jimin has said he feels the description of "working the hardest" actually fits more with Jin than with himself. Yoongi and RM commended Jin for being the most consistent and that seeing the effort Jin puts in inspires them to work just as hard. (source timestamp: 36:00 - 37:55).

Also, choreographies of groups where every member is an S-tier dancer often struggle with clumping. Clumping in choreography is a way to center or concentrate energy to a focal point as a way to build anticipation and heighten the enjoyment of the audience. But for it to work you need a clear concentration of energy in the formation and that can't work if everyone is at the same skill level. In this way, 3J (and more recently Tae) works symbiotically with the Hyung line to give BTS choreographies that added oomph. So really, Jin's dancing ability is a weakness on paper, but in reality it's a strength for the team.

In general, BTS is a bit unique among k-pop groups because it is precisely their weaknesses, more than their strengths, that makes the group work. At least in my opinion.

God I'm already rambling so I'll just rattle off a few more.

In fanchant order:

Namjoon

Weakness: ego, dancing ability, morally grey

Strength: ego, language ability, appreciation of beauty & excellence, rap skill, capacity for rage

Seokjin

Weakness: dancing ability, stubborn

Strength: consistency, singing ability, prudence

Yoongi

Weakness: greed, pride, cruelty

Strength: ego, tongue length & flexibility, eyes of such deep molten beautiful chocolate you can't help but sink into them, capacity for love, rap skill, big dick, pretty pink knees, probably smells like citrus

Hoseok

Weakness: rigid

Strength: self-regulation, dancing ability, rap skill, stamina

Jimin

Weakness: singing ability, quixotic

Strength: singing ability, kindness, social intelligence, bravery, dancing ability, stamina, theatrical flair

Taehyung

Weakness: tactless

Strength: singing ability, perspective, perseverance

Jung Kook

Weakness: hedonistic, possessive

Strength: curiosity, language ability, singing & dancing ability, honesty, stamina

1x02 Diefenbaker’s Day Off | Score

One of the most charming parts of early due South is how much the score shines. It's my favourite TV score ever, and it really acts as another important character especially in the first season.

This hit especially is so good! The call-and-response on the twelve-string! The dichotomy between the pared-down score (just a woodwind, guitar, and percussion!) and the chaos inherent in the establishing shots of Chicago! The parallelism in how Fraser is a simple-livin' kind of guy out of place in this bustling metropolis and neither of them really fit together!!

It's so good. 3J, you're iconic for this score forever.

Smeraldo Garden Marching Band:

Fan song or "Fan" song?

I am seriously worried about my delulu. I DID NOT go into this song looking for anything other than some fun Jimin content. I wanted to see his face, hear his voice, watch him dance and feel happy.

1st watch through, no subtitles, my thoughts were: cute song about love... obvious muse.

2nd watch through with subtitles: Oh cute! It's another fan song... wait... WTH?

My internal reaction was immediately reflected back at me by the other 2 ARMY in the room. We must all be delulu. Even though I believe Jimin and Jungkook have a special bond, I don't believe everything they do is about each other. I really expect Muse to be about Jimin and his inspirations, ARMY and love very likely being part of those. So this actually threw me for a loop because this feels loud to me.

This was pretty much my thought process

"Oh cute, another fan song" lyrics:

Now introducing It all began on June 12 We gift happiness every day Say, "Oh" (Let's talk about us)

Then the lyrics that made us literally pause:

All the things we couldn't say before maybe about members trying to live more authentically? And your hidden feelings too ??? ARMY's feelings are pretty loud and clear... who is hiding their feelings? I'll tell you everything now (Just for you) We're listening! Don't you worry anymore Since we’re together now Let's be a little more honest (Let's go) Well now I am full on smeraldo flower, the truth untold delulu!

And then this...

Ooh, I love you babe I'll come closer to you I love you, babe (Yes, sir) Ooh, I want you, babe I wanna hold your hand

And that's when I went full delulu! Jimin definitely loves ARMY, but I know who's hand he wants to hold:

And in case that wasn't enough:

I'm just not sure I can convince myself this is simply a fan song.

4c&d plus 3j :3

ty :3 mix-and-match asks here

4. Which of your fics surprised you by how much attention it received?

Actually not a cyberpunk fic, but the fic I wrote for Pathologic 2. It's called An Exchange and I assumed it would languish in obscurity in a small fandom, especially since it was explicitly about a trans headcanon, but I guess the small pond makes it easier to be noticed!

Also this bit of smut I wrote ages ago and only posted on tumblr

c. What do you think makes it deserving of love?

Pathologic is not a very forgiving game, and every one in it behaves like an overzealous amateur actor in a local play, so it's not exactly that these characters have canonical chemistry. But I think playing the game is to search desperately for connection, and to feel responsible for actually saving the town, and it turns out there's another guy who's doing the same and he sucks but also you're connected. That was all stuff I tried to show and I like to think that came through. How when everything is terrible sometimes the smallest things are what get you through. That you can end up united by the most unexpected things. That migraines really really suck.

d. What is your favorite line or excerpt from it?

Always baffling, what the people here would take offense to, in the middle of an outbreak.

Dankovsky says why does this social shit MATTER I am solving a PROBLEM and frankly sometimes I feel this with my entire soul.

3. Which of your fics is criminally underrated?

Definitely CWE 755 - Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions which is almost certainly because it's an OCxOC fic under the 'Other' category. But it's got freaky netrunner corpo power dynamics sex! It is both deadly serious and absolutely ridiculous! Writing this may have made me realize my jokes about liking mean women were not actually jokes!

j. Describe it badly.

Woman bullies coworker with threat of remote-control orgasm.

Wow just wow 🤩🤩🤩

For me performers in BTS goes like : JM > JK > Hobi > Tae > Suga > Jin > RM

Jimin is superior, no matter who denies it we all know even haters eyes automatically gravitate towards him. Theres a reason why among all member's his fancams went viral multiple times. He gracefully flows but with crisp moves. Basically sex symbol of BTS... no one can say Jimin's performance doesn't make them feel some way lol. Just him wearing his purple outfit with purple eyes and wt hair is enough to captivate people.

Jk and hobi, for me the difference is power and sex appeal. JK gives more power in moves and oozes sex appeal which makes his performance more attractive. He performs like he wanna wreck you lol.

Someone told Jimin always gives : Come and get me energy while JK gives: I'm gonna eat you up energy. Its evident in their performances too.

Tae and Yoongi are laid back perfomers but Tae's cold looks gives him an aura which makes him more appealing to many. While Yoongi only concentrate on expressions while his part comes up. But I don't understand why some are adamant about Tae being in dance line lol. There's a huge difference in movements and stability 3J gives in performance vs tae.

Jin and RM, not best performers but Jin kinda has a cute expression while performing than RM. While RM looks like he's repeating moves which he by hearted. Also many expressions make his performance awkward lol. But it's ok, as dancing line is strong they cover it up.

Interesting analysis. I don’t know how exactly I would place others besides JM and JK, probably similarly as you.

BTS’s performances overall are incomparable and unmatched. But in my opinion JM and JK in both group and solo performances stand out.

Let’s watch some Jimin’s now

1st of all this legendary iconic Jimin main character

Then this most iconic fancam

Lie - timeless iconic, it’s one of my favourite songs by him and my favourite performance

Serendipity - another timeless iconic

Filter - epic

YET AGAIN ANOTHER HC POST!(Am i doing too much)

1: Connie can possess other Toons, but it takes a LOT of energy out of her

2: In the show, the Toons lived in an area called Toon Town, but the owners of Gardenview were too lazy to develop an actual life-sized Toon Town, and itd take up too much resources, so that's why the Toons all have just dorms and rooms instead of housing!

3: In Toon Town, each Toon has their own stylized house! (Examples will be provided)

3a - Dandy has a large house that looks like a greenhouse (Pebble has a dog house on the outside that looks like a miniature Mineshaft)

3b - Astro has a house that has a large telescope hanging out one of the windows since in my AU, Astro loves astronomy! The house is also a very spaced theme (colors, furniture, etc)

3c - Vee doesn't have a house, but it's more of an entertainment center, like a TV station! Full of television equipment, boom mics, blue screens(can't do Green Screens since yknow... Vee is green), and a large room for her gameshows!

3d - Sprout has a large comfy cottage that looks like an upside down strawberry!(This one was lazy)

3e - Shelly has a museum that has a digsite next to it, and she just sleeps there in a room she made for herself.

3f - cutting away from the mains, Finn has an Aquarium themed house!

3g - Shrimpo doesn't have a house. He reluctantly bunks with Finn in the Aquarium.

3h - Looey has a circus tent house where he's roommates with the remaining members of the Circus Troupe (not making custom OCs to fill these slots since they're most likely gonna be released as official characters later down in the production line of DW)

3i - Connie lives in an abandoned and ruined house, as simple as that.

3j - Goob and Scraps live inside a shared craft shop built by them where they make and sell crafts and craft materials!

3k - Razzle and Dazzle own a shared theatre, where they host plays and acts alongside help from other toons!

3l - Teagan, Rodger, and Toodles all live together in a family home, which is just a teagan colored mansion(Toodles fills up the rooms with all her toys and stuff, she also sometimes goes around the house solving fake mysteries, aspiring to be like her dad since she can't go out to solve actual mysteries)

3m - Brighteny lives in her library, alongside Tisha, who volunteered to act as the places janitor!

3n - Glisten owns a beauty shop themed house, honestly self-explanatory.

3o - Flutter and Gigi live together inside a house that's shaped like one of those childhood bug-catchers(pretty dumb idea, but idk what else would fit Flutter)

3p - Poppy and Boxten live together in a music box looking house (Boxten is obviously the house owner. He just let Poppy live with him since she's his best friend)

Hopefully I got all of them...

Anyways that's all!

SOULMATES AU W/ AKECHI DHWKBH,LDKH3LCKWHQ,3J

author-chan~ please give me some hc of akechi in soulmates au

or you can post this and have one of ur anons give some cute ideas to send u

>////< pretty plsss

HMMMMMMM i am going to make this as a part of my ramblings series, since this is more of an open discussion or sumn . .therefore theres no structure to this whole post and i apologize </3 but if you want me to make an official headcanons version of this, feel free to send another ask!

NOW FIRST LETS TALK ABOUT HOW THE SOULMATES ARE CONNECTED... i've seen alot of versions of the soulmates trope such as: having a tattoo of the first thing your soulmate says to you, red string trope, seeing colors trope, dreams trope...

personally . . my absolute favorite is the colors one . . . SO I WILL GO WITH THAT FOR MY IDEA

okok but what if. . . WHAT IF . .. the soulmates also passes on to the personas . . . like as i have mentioned before loki has a wife named sigyn.. . . WELL robin hood has a lover named marian so . . . ASDASDASD i am not suggesting s/o to be a wildcard (or to be strictly female, we have characters like brown from p1 having a persona of the opposite gender, and p3 femc having a genderbent orpheus), but im just saying both of akechi's personas technically have a partner so .. . just an interesting thought ehehehehehe

I would like to believe that Goro was a cheerful child, and I feel like he was very excited to see his soulmate. But as life goes on, his view on soulmates altogether soured. Goro has seen how his mother's soulmate treated her, and his scum-of-the-earth father would gladly discard his soulmate just for power, so Goro sees soulmates as a weakness more than anything. He wishes his world to be forever grayscale.

However, as he continues mingling with the leader of the Phantom Thieves, he eventually met everyone else, including you. The first time, it was a speck of color. If he was not paying attention he would have missed it. But he swears he started seeing the color of his coffee for a few seconds, and when he blinked it was gone again. Back to his monochrome world.

And he swears for the first time, he became afraid.

I feel like Goro would put up walls around you, and a door, and some locks, and a gate, and an electric fence. Basically he is just very secretive and evasive when it comes to you. If ever there was a moment where the both of you were left alone, he would quickly shut down any ideas of you starting a conversation. Every time it happens, you were disappointed. Every time he does it, he feels his heart break a little.

When he sees your Persona for the first time... He feels a lot of things. Guilt, anger, sadness... Guilt because you were stuck with him, anger because it felt like the world was making fun of him, and sadness because... he fears he will let you down, or end up like his father sent from hell. Of course, if you gave him a chance, Goro would do his absolutely best. But he feels like his family line is a big jinx, so he decides that for your happiness he will not pursue you.

But you just had to be persistent, huh?

And slowly, the world started becoming colorful. It was like your warmth was seeping through the cracks of his barely-working heart, and he shouldn't want this, but he does. He wants to one day be able to wake up, and the first he sees is your bright smile. He wants to leave work, and you'll stop him on his way out because he forgot his lunch. He wants to go home and hear you greeting him as he puts away his shoes. He wants the late-night talks, the long walks on the park, the cuddle sessions on the couch, the play dates, the jazz dates....

But when has Goro Akechi ever gotten what he wanted?

[love4hobi]

Hi!! I really like your blog and it’s great to find an active Hobi blog. I just got into BTS this past month and was wondering if you had recommendations or favorite Jhope (and overall BTS) content/videos to check out for a complete beginner! Even though I’ve casually listened to BTS since 2015/2016, I didn’t follow them or even know all their names/faces well... until recently I watched a couple of Jhope’s stages and was like damnnn, I need to know him and the whole group more!! Iconic stages, funny videos, interesting interviews, whatever you enjoy :) Thank you!

thank u so much thats very sweet 🥹<33 im very honored that youve chosen to ask me this because this is a biiig question n i shall do my best🫡 ok well firstly, i think it would be insane to not start off with hobipalooza

his lollapalooza set can be watched in full here, which u might have already seen, but for an added bonus u can listen to his albums hope world + jack in the box, THEN watch his lolla set to really get a feel for how he brings his songs to life while performing them. his music is great but for me his true stardom lies in his performance and stage presence and hobipalooza will tell u everything u need to know about jhope as a performer 🥹🤩

just some of his many iconic solo performances:

more + arson at the 2022 mnet asian music awards (+ future)

the only live performance hes done of on the street 🥲

also the dynamite + butter performance from that same day just cus u can see the pure joy in his face and the love he has for performing 🫂 despite them both being songs that he originally had less than like 10 seconds of lines in each

his performance and interview on iu's palette my beloved

all of his just dance performances are amazing and consistent but heres a good fancam

as for bts group performances i think its best to look at their older songs as he has not had many lines in their recent releases :/ some that i really love:

mic drop is kind of known as his song, heres their snl performance, most recent performance of it, and another favorite of mine hehe

outro: tear specifically his verse at the end (around the 4 minute mark)

chicken noodle soup at the 2021 muster, its jhopes song but they performed it all together

boy meets evil + blood sweat & tears at 2016 mama

idk im drawing a blank but honestly any of their old concerts or fanmeets/musters are really great. you can find a lot of them here

some dance focused videos since hes the main dancer 🫶

any of his old hope on the street videos that i miss so dearly. theyre just videos of him freestyling for a while and he does it so effortlessly and its rly satisfying to watch. 2020, 2021, with jimin, with jungkook

the iconic no more dream dance break 🙇

this random dance performance 3j did i use to watch this on a monthly basis

another 3j dance video of the megan thee stallion butter remix

i feel like its kinda obvious but i also want to recommend his music videos since theyre all rly amazing but some of my favs are more, daydream, chicken noodle soup, and on the street

ok im gonna stop cus this is getting long and i dont want to overwhelm u but im also definitely forgetting stuff,, everyone else feel free to add stuff in the replies!! anyway i hope this helps!

Part 21 of Finding Family

More don’t follow it as a light floods the room. With it he is able to finally discover their location and is surprised to find they remain in the house, sort of. The cave system under the manor wasn’t the first place Damian would have guessed he’d be taken, but it makes sense when he remembers that it leads to various parts of Gotham making it a perfect escape route.

Another punch is thrown, this time by his mate and as he watches his grandfather stumble back his father comes over to untie him. Dick and Jason soon restrain Ra’s and Tim turns to him. He looks frazzled, his hair a mess and his attire in disarray. He isn’t wearing a tie or suit coat, his white shirt is unbuttoned and his knuckles bruised but the second Damian is free he can’t help throwing himself at the alpha he planned to spend the rest of his life with.

“I love you” he whispers into Tim’s ear as his mate catches him in an embrace. “I love you too. I was so worried about you” Tim says in a soft whisper. “shhh, it’s okay, don’t cry. I’m fine, I’m right here.” Damian responds as he feels the start of hiccupping breaths against his chest. “You have a bruise on your face” Tim says in a voice that makes it clear he doesn’t think Damian is fine at all. It doesn’t matter though as Damian pulls away a bit so he can press his lips to Tim’s and distract him from whatever thought plagued his mind.

They kiss softly at first, the slick slide of Tim’s tongue against the seam of his lips pushing the kiss quickly into more passionate territory. The move results in someone clearing the throat loudly  and Damian turns to find his father glaring disapprovingly. “You’re supposed to wait until after you exchange vows to start kissing” he says and Damian starts laughing semi-hysterically, because after being knocked unconscious he really doesn’t feel like having a wedding, much less waiting until it’s over to kiss Tim. With that idea in mind he turns back to the other alpha and whispers to him “hey, how much do you want this wedding? I feel like it’s not really necessary since we’re already mates anyways, but if you really want-” 

“Oh thank God, I’ve been wanting to opt out of this wedding idea since the beginning but didn’t want to upset anyone.” “Well we still might upset people.” Damian replies. “Yeah but they’re not you so I don’t really care right now. I’d rather take you to bed and worry about everyone else tomorrow or next week.”

“Next week it is, I’ll add it to the schedule, for now I wouldn’t mind that bed, and maybe a bath while we’re at it.” and with that they leave for Tim’s bedroom, both agreeing to not drive to their place that night. As they curl in bed together Damian can’t help but share some of what he had realized that day.

“Tim, fuck up as it may sound I’m happy today was such a disaster.”

“What, why?”

“It made me realize, this whole time I’ve been looking for something that I already have. I was so busy thinking about what I had lost before, that I couldn’t see that I had already found something better”

“What did you find?”

“My family.”

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

And that's a wrap on my second cross-post fic here on tumblr! Feel free to comment below or go to AO3 and check out the original work there.

My next story is going to be drastically different, so if you like Miraculous that's going to be a good read. If you've never seen it I'd love to introduce you to it's characters in my AU where a lot of things are different.

Until next week,

<3J

[thee-morrigan]

1i, 2b, 3j from the fic asks? 💕

Thank you, Hobbs! 💖💖💖

1. Which of your fics is your favorite?

I love all my children equa—it's 'attachment theory'. It's definitely 'attachment theory.'

i. Did anything substantial get cut from it?

Substantial in terms of overall volume/proportion relative to individual chapter content? Yes, always. Every chapter has its own separate doc of lines/paragraphs/plot points that ended up on the cutting room floor. (Many of which I really, really wanted to make work but alas could not in a way I could live with.)

Plotwise? Not really. There was one point where I was considering a b-plot with a mid-story breakup/second-chance angle, but it got a little unwieldy in the limited amount of planning I ever do, and also once I got to the scenes where that would need to happen, they ended up going a different direction as I was writing them and I liked the new direction too much to stick to the earlier thought.

2. Which of your fics is your least favorite?

I don't really have a least favorite? 😅 I've been sitting here for like 20 minutes trying to choose one and genuinely every time I think I've got one nailed down, I start thinking of things I actually really like about it. (My therapist would be so proud lmao)

b. What is something you would do differently if you were to rewrite it?

In general, the things I'd do differently about all the fics I considered as potential least favorites are the same: I'd be a little less impulsive about posting before doing a little more planning about overall story goals/structural things that best serve those goals (e.g., should this be a oneshot collection, should that have more chapters planned before you post the first finished one, etc.).

3. Which of your fics is criminally underrated?

Picking a different underrated one than I did in an earlier ask because variety is the spice of life or whatever. So *another* underrated fic is 'violets are purple (not blue)' (which I wish I'd posted standalone and not in a oneshot collection but so it goes).

j. Describe it badly.

Woman invites her boyfriend to dinner via a series of lies, subterfuge and sundry scheming.

mix-and-match fic asks

[beautifulpersonpeach]

Hey BPP! Would love to hear about your favorite collabs (either of the group or of individual members). Every time I try to make my own list I get distracted finding yet another collab that RM did that I didn't know about lol. Some of my favorites are Who Are You with Lauv, Winter Flower with Younha and .... well honestly no matter how many times I listen to Suga's albums or what im doing, I always have to stop to listen to Snooze. It's so compelling. What are your favorites?

***

A fun ask!

(Thank you)

Namjoon does the best collabs, by the way. Hands down, it's like his super power. He's very good at identifying good partners, people who are doing interesting, creative things, who understand what he wants and respect his choices.

Crying Over You - HONNE & BEKA

*

RM with the magic again.

Sexy Nukim - Balming Tiger

*

Jimin's vocals on any collab feels like Momofuku's chili crisp on hot ramyeon. But with Charli's vocals especially, it just fits so well. That bass kick when he starts singing always hits so good too.

Dream Glow - Charli XCX

*

Can I add a SOPE collab? I know it's not strictly outside BTS, which I think is what is implied in your ask, but I cannot not talk about HUH?!

HUH?! - j-hope

*

The best song released in 2023 is On The Street by j-hope ft J. Cole. By the way.

On The Street - J. Cole

*

I sometimes get the feeling that My Universe is slept on. Like, people don't really appreciate how good a song it is. From the way this whole relationship with Coldplay developed, to Chris' insistence on speaking Korean, singing the Korean lyrics to his very white, European audiences, this collab remains one of the most wholesome ones the tannies have done so far. IMO. I also really like taekook's vocals on it. I wish there was more of Jimin (though he really shines in the Acoustic version).

My Universe - Coldplay (SUGA's remix is my favourite)

*

The fact we got 3J back because of it is enough reason for Butter Remix to get a mention.

I wonder how many of my followers listen to Megan Thee Stallion. Because personally, I adore her. When that lawsuit thing with her label happened for Butter remix, I legit paid up to donate to her charity lol. One of my best spends in 2021 tbh.

Butter Remix - Megan Thee Stallion

*

So, that's seven good BTS collabs I like. :)

I’m also curious to know how much Louis and Liam have contributed to those songs when 3Js are all credited as writers as well. Sometimes artists flexing about the songs they wrote like ‘I was in a dark place when I wrote this song, I needed to pour my heart into my words” and boom. A demo from an another artist who previously recorded the song leaks and we find out that artist only changed 2-3 words and called it a day.

Lol. Right. But a lot of those lyrics really do sound like something Louis would have come up with. Liam said he focused more on melodies.

The start of my 3D art journey!

The image above is my first attempt at learning 3js. Tutorial here: https://youtu.be/xJAfLdUgdc4?feature=shared I’m currently learning this for another project I’m working on (freelance developer stuff), but learning 3js gave me the inspiration to start making interactive 3D art online! I don’t think I’ve seen a lot of it, or at least heard of, such kinds of things online. Maybe I’m just out…

My Rants about the 90s TV show Family Matters

I've recently just watched the entire sitcom "Family Matters" & I'm amazed (in a bad way) that when many of us, including myself, absolutely hate Laura, we r immediately referred to as "Myra Stans", but no honey. I haven't seen that many people talk about Laura's BS as much as they love to talk about Myra's red flags and now i just want to get it out of my chest.

I'm by no means what you would call a "Myra Stan" but i hate Laura from the bottom of my heart. Let me tell the reasons why. Many r too blind to see that this biatch is getting away by cheating on Stefan several times. When was cheating ok? And her excuse, u ask? Well, she said that she's confused and got feelings for both Stefan and Steve but is that a good reason to cheat? Absolutely effing not! There's never a good excuse for cheating and leading someone on. She's as horrible as her cheating brother. I thought she was a "goody two shoes", just like her dumb friends turn her out to be, at the beginning, that is. But all that changed, ever since i saw her begging Steve to be Stefan, as far as to ruin his transformation chamber, intentionally, so that Stefan could stay forever. She's shallow, conceited, selfish, fake victim and a gold digger. Why you ask she's a gold digger? Well, she once made a certain comment about how she would marry a guy who would buy her expensive jewelries.

Anyways, this show is my favorite and i admire the good lessons, humors, accepting yourself and loving urself as u r, wholesomeness but many things tried to sabotage this show a lot. I care about this show enough to actually criticize it . 🙂

Some examples include:

1) Harriet being played by a different actress right near the end of the series (believe me, it was so uncomfortable and weird for me to watch Carl kiss and hug a different woman that doesn't even look like harriet at all, even Reginald, Carl's actor, admitted that he felt weird and divorced),

2) then the writers actually took us, the audience, as a total fool, for thinking that we wouldn't notice that Judy disappeared (first, u bring one judy and then replace her with a different actress right after the first episode, but still that was fine by me, since it was only 1 pilot episode and we didn't get attached to that actress like Harriet or anything),

3) then you make richie be a toddler all of a sudden right after season 1 (which feels ridiculous). I know babies feel boring for the show but y bring a baby in the first place then.

4) then u show us Rachel being with one man for one episode and feeling guilty about dating ever since her husband died but again, like any typical sitcom, u make her date multiple guys from time to time without giving any logical explanation as to y did she break up with the first guy or the second, third, fourth and so on (Rachel did seem to have some chemistry with some of those guys too but every one of those guys appeared for only 1 episode ).

5) Next, you make Harriet's long lost dad appear for 1 episode and that's just it. Nobody ever felt the need to introduce him to the whole family or something, of course (and the show is supposed to be showing that family matters 🤦🏻‍♀️).

6) Eventually, u made everybody disappear (although Rachel and grandma appeared occasionally) and bring an annoying boring ass wannabe kid called 3J. Oh for the love of god, please 🙄😒. U removed judy, fired her because u couldn't have given her any sort of significant role and u thought that three's a crowd but yet u managed to add another male kid? It seems sexist to me, honestly, cuz apparently, all i saw was those stereotypical girls (Laura, Maxine )who r boy crazies, would be fine sucking any boy's lips, Maxine being that typical sitcom sidekick friend of the main character, having an obsessive stalker like myra and other than that, u had no idea of how to write that many female teens. It was either because u were stereotyping female teen characters or you were ignorant and lazy or u just didn't like judy at all to give her a different, non boy crazy role. On the contrary, look at how they made many male teen characters, there r a variety like Waldo (being a doofus yet skilled), Weasel, Eddie (being self centered, flirtatious and stupid), Steve (a nerd scientist) and so many more.

7) Also, they never gave any proper explanation as to y did Rachel left her son and went away, or y did Judy disappear (in my opinion, it would have been amazing if judy was kidnapped in s4 for being a cop's daughter and it was a real tragedy for the winslows but in S9, carl manages to finally find her and that would have been a way more amazing way to end the final season rather than that trash getting proposed by 2 guys). You never even seemed to give a proper excuse as to y did Waldo disappear. Ur just too good at making characters vanish from time to time. And yes, I absolutely despise 3j. He had no purpose in being there. It was stupid and annoying.

8) Did I forget to mention that how you ruined Steve character? And no, it's not because Steve became the main character but because of how he treated Myra. Hear me out. He did say at the beginning that if that "thing" ever feels the same way about him, then he's gonna ditch Myra, right at that moment. But, what type of a selfish, cold hearted absurd offer is that? It's like ur saying that I'm just gonna hang out with u, kiss u up until my crush loves me back cuz I'm lonely but if my crush ever return my feelings then I'm gonna ditch u right there, right then. And yes, Myra was insane enough to agree to that but deep down she thought that she could change his mind, which is not okay as well.

You see, it's not just that "offer" or "condition" that Steve offered but he was a cheater as well. Ugh. He was a cheater because he said that if his crush feels the same way, then he's gonna stop dating Myra right? But Steve was cheating way before his so called crush liked him back and he was already taken by Myra. In the prom, he was kissed by that snob and instead of pushing her away, he actually accepted it (even if that's ur crush kissing u, it was cheating nevertheless). It seemed like the writers had a fetish of putting Laura and Steve into compromising or any sort of situations together while make Myra have almost zero romantic moments with Steve where they r both enjoying each other's companion, mutually. Most of the moments we have from Steve and Myra r where Myra forcefully shoves her face down to Steve's throat, lol.

I could tell this right from season 1, that the writers decided to put Laura and Steve together as a couple no matter what (based on all the situations they were enjoying putting them into). You would have to be a dumbass if u actually got shocked that Laura liked Steve or something cuz certainly although there was no romantic tension between them but the forceful situations that they got themselves into was enough to make that happen.

Anyways, Laura kissed Steve while she was under the influence of love potion, alcohol but did he ever said anything about being taken by Myra or being faithful? Well, no, absolutely effing not. He also got kissed by that french girl but even then he didn't push her away and he literally forgot Myra's name. Ouch. All I'm saying is this series highlights many issues on the surface but has a serious problem of normalizing infidelity.

We r supposed to be believing that Steve is not perfect but has a heart of gold but how can we do such when we have seen him break multiple stuff, and isn't that much sincerely apologetic or anything, for most of the time, then even more importantly, being a cheater. Remember, once Steve was dating another girl, back in season 2, well, what did he do that time? That time, instead of being disloyal, he introduced the girl to some hot guy and then the girl left him. Well that's way more better than the way he treated Myra who was so much into him for himself, his personality, attire and Hobbies. Plus, he was so manipulative cuz everytime he broke something, screwed up, instead of properly apologizing and being humble, he would just use some sad pitiful words with the cute puppy eyes and expect the Winslows to forgive him, everytime and if they (Carl) didn't then he would often challenge Carl to a fight or something. And also, Steve was a hypocrite for being pissed at Myra while he himself stalked the Winslows for so many years, even as far as to go in their bedrooms! (and I'm aware that Myra was a bit more extra, didn't respect his personal boundaries but still, he was a stalker too but it's ok for him to do such since apparently he was a main character. ) Ok, well, enough about Steve.

9) Now, the tramp, Laura. Well, what can I say. I just don't know that what did Steve see in her. She's so basic, manipulative little piece of shit. I don't usually hate characters that much to actually write about my hatred on the internet but gosh she makes me sick. Now she was ok in s1, s2 and I still didn't like her at that time but I also didn't hate her but then I started to hate her ever since the Stefan thing happened. She's pathetic. Her character got ruined as well, thanks to the writers.

You see, I lost my patience when I saw her cheating on Stefan with Curtis while Stefan was working and her telling Harriet that she's not gonna be hurt for being a slut and cheating on 2 guys. Like really? That's the first thing that comes to ur mind? Sorry sis, but ur sick. It would have still been fine if u were a kid but no u were about 18 or 19 years old. Steve went through so much to give u a boy toy but u can't even be faithful to him and then all you can think of when being confronted is that u r not gonna be hurt. Talk about falsely victimizing urself. And the fact that she even said yes to Stefan's proposal at Disney world (that may have happened when she was a teen) but the least u could do is be faithful if ur not gonna actually marry him, duh.

She broke up with Ted cuz he complimented/ flirted with another girl. And that's cheating in her eyes. Well then what was she doing with Curtis, Stefan and Steve? And also why didn't she get the karma of being confronted and y didn't every boy that she ever used just ditch her right at the spot? Talk about hypocrisy and main character pros.

Also, she wasn't just a cheating slut but also a very bad friend. She often treated Maxine like trash even though Maxine treated her so good. Once Maxine warned her about a guy who only dates girls for sex and Maxine, herself, dated that guy, once. Yet that conniving bitch didn't bother to believe her, brushed her aside, made her feel like she's nuts, didn't care about her feelings and then saw it happen right then. I mean, it happened in s2. Imagine how mature Maxine was for that age of not being jealous of ur so called best friend dating ur ex and instead give her advice for her wellbeing. And what does this bitch do as an adult? She fights with Maxine cuz Maxine was dating her ex boy toy, Curtis, ridicules Maxine's ambition of being a beautician. Again, an egoistic hypocrite. Also remember how many times, she told Myra that she's her friend, well, which "friend" makes out with their friend's boyfriend while they are still dating each other? She also assured Myra that she's never gonna have romantic feelings for Steve, but lookie here. Not only did she have feelings but she made Steve break up with Myra. Not defending what Myra did, but her fear of losing Steve and going through extreme measures to make sure that it doesn't happen was really reasonable and understandable, especially when Steve started to live with that bitch and everything. I can't blame Myra for being so insecure cuz guess what, eventually, her fears did come true, unfortunately when she was not even being a psycho (back in the prom) and behind her back. 😢

Laura may have good sides (like the times, she stood up for Steve, being patient with Steve although he was being an obsessive stalker, help Maxine once when she was dating a drug dealer in s9) but it's as the saying goes " everybody has some good traits". So, she may had those good traits but that didn't make her an overall good person. Also about the drug dealing bf, I think the writers were just running out of ideas and that's y they thought of repeating that same type of plot from s2 (where Maxine warns about the guy who dates girls for sex) with boring lame S9 (where Laura warns Maxine about an older dude who sells drugs).

10) now about Eddie Winslow. Well, he, like many other characters didn't have that much of a character development. He was always selfish, shallow, surrounded himself with any random pretty girls, had no sense of loyalty or self awareness whatsoever, always got himself into some big troubles for how much stupid and naive he was, was very easy to manipulate and couldn't make time for his dad, many times, apparently cuz of how much "busy" he was despite being a weak student. I got nothing to say about him except him wanting to be a police officer was so fuckin forced. There was no development for that interest whatsoever. Once, back in s1 or s2, Carl decided to take Eddie with him and show him how police force works or something like that. But he didn't go. It was Steve as usual who went (I also felt like the writers wanted to make Carl be close to Steve than his own freaking THREE kids!). Well that's the only thing we know of Eddie ever being close to be a cop and he wasn't interested at all.

When he said that he didn't know what he wants to do with life, in s9, it felt so relatable for me. I also don't have any goals, am 20 years old, still going to boring college, not performing well as I did back in O levels, and have no friends or anything. So for me, it was a slap in the the face when I saw Eddie suddenly thinking that he's gonna be a cop just by thinking about it for 1 night. And the fact that he just started being a cop and yet got shot immediately cuz apparently the fake Harriet was scared that he might get hurt.

All I'm trying to say is that whenever someone warns someone else about something in this series, it just literally actually happens to them right after a few minutes which makes it boring and very predictable.

11) whatever happened to Rachel's place and Steve and Laura working there? It Was never answered. Whatever happened to lieutenant murtaugh? He was a funny good looking guy, in my eyes. I missed him so bad ever since he left and Weasle. Lieutenant was way better than that boring old captain savage or that other old dude, commissioner. Another thing was, Carl was never developed as a character as well. He was always hot tempered, which is ok but also sexist and it remained that way till s9, like come on. Also what happened to Stefan after he proposed that bitch for the second time? Like where did he go without proper confrontation?

12) Stefan character was so boring. I wish we didn't see him at all or if we did, then we saw him only once and not that many times cuz it took all the amusement of watching a nerd turn into a hot guy. We should also note that Stefan, like any other humans, do have flaws, so saying that he's selfish and that's y whatever that bitch Laura did to him was ok is actually never ok. He deserved someone way better than that trainwreck. Also, remember that Stefan is not a normal human but a clone of Steve, an experiment and so he's supposed to be having way more flaws than a normal person but alas, we saw none of that.

All we know is that he was self centered at first but then Steve fixed him and then he just became a one dimensional character who can only sweet talk people, do cool stunts, recite romantic poems and overall be a lover boy. He could be narcissistic or even be a womanizer and cheat on Laura's back while he was modelling. He could also be workaholic but we barely saw any flaws ever since Steve "fixed" him. He did say though that he's not gonna leave Laura ever again after coming back to her (although it was her who insisted that he pursues his career) from France and being fired from his job but yet he went to Italy. See, I really hate inconsistencies. So, that lie is supposed to be his flaw or was making a simple deal with Myra was his flaw? Who knows. But I definitely am not fond of this character, however, I don't hate him and he certainly didn't deserve all that.

13) Myra didn't deserve that treatment but she wasn't a good girl either. She was infact a psycho and I'm not defending any of these female characters. I only love Harriet, Estelle and Rachel (gotta love Rachel's beautiful voice).

Look, I have to give credit where it is due. So, I give it to the writers for showing us the early red flags that Myra had from the very beginning which eventually led up to the events in s9. But still I feel like things were a bit blown out of proportion or got far fetched.

She did have stalking behavior developing as she got older but we also saw that she was trying to befriend Laura and got stabbed in the back. Laura and Steve kissed multiple times but did she know anything about it. Absolutely no. They never told her anything. Two cheaters flocking together. Steve was kissed by a french girl without his consent but he enjoyed it and accepted it and forgot about Myra. Well, did he ever told that story to myra? Absolutely fuckin not. No wonder she went psycho and put a cam on his glasses. Her sudden extreme personality seemed like an exaggeration, even more, since she started to trust Steve and be a bit more less of a stalker ever since that nude art incident. But yeah, that girl got no self respect since she accepted the condition for dating Steve even though she was obviously not ok with it. I would have loved it if at the end Myra and Stefan dated each other or something.

14) last but not least, this series highlights many important issues like drinking, drugs, gang, gambling, racial issues, coercion, peer pressure and so many other stuff but it also portrayed many harmful stuff in a positive way.

For starters, one of them being, you stalking ur crush and helping them would mean that even if it takes years, still they r gonna fall for you. That's a very harmful message. In reality, most of the time, nobody's crush r gonna return their feelings. You trying too hard to impress them, be on their best side is either going to end up with you being used and taken advantage of and being hurt or you being miserable since ur crush barely know that u even exist and r in love with someone else.

I would have loved it if this happened: if Steve was just single at the end of the series. He dumps Myra for being obsessive psycho and maybe that other bitch Laura may come back crawling to Steve but by that time, Steve had already moved on. He was happy being single and he wants nothing to do with Myra and just be friends with Laura. Nothing more than that. Steve realizes that he's too good to love and take someone who rejected him for years and only came back because they got no better boy toy. Steve realizes his worth, he self improves himself not for being more desirable by women but just for himself. He also never cheated on any women he dated, which was mostly one woman and that's Myra. I've seen many say that Myra should have Steve since she accepts him as his true self but she also didn't allow him to breathe, so I don't think accepting someone for themselves is everything that matters.

Another thing I hated and didn't find funny at all was how Steve's parents treated him. We don't see them, again a common thing that happens to certain characters in any sitcoms, but they did abuse him, left him all alone and then we hear a stupid laughing track everytime he mentions something awful that his parents did to him.

All in all, I really loved Steve, at least at the beginning but after seeing him being disloyal but not held accountable in any form, I don't know anymore. I wanted to love him. He's too funny and cute but writers destroyed him and made him whiny and annoying. I hate the writers so much for these drastic changes and decisions. The ratings decreased for a reason. It was their lazy ass's faults. Not jaleel white's or any other actors' fault for that Matter. Jaleel white pulled out so many characters in 1 series and made it seem effortless. I love that guy. He's super talented and I love Jo Marie's sassiness and that savage strong voice. All the actors and actresses did a wonderful job. But not the producers, writers, studios, whatever. I blame them for creating tension between jaleel and other cast mates and the declination of the plot. I, myself came up with Many interesting things that they could do for s9, so obviously they could as well, if not better but they didn't care enough to do such. They really didn't seem to give a fuck about the audience anyways. Since they were ignorant, they could simply stop and end the series while it was still in it's prime like end it after s6 or s7. Anyhow, I just felt like ranting cuz I love this series (at least the first 8 seasons) but not that many characters in it and mainly because I hate inconsistencies and all.

Part 2 of reaction to Dream sketch #10 in Manila, Singapore, Macau, and Kuala Lumpur

Markren

Not sure if this Michael Jackson choreography was in this performance before but it looks like Haechan started a trend and the rest of the 00z followed

A bit of Nomin shimmy shimmy shenaniganery

Fans miss Chenle <3

Marknomin continued

Haesung :P And Jisung seems to have a backpack of a character but I can't see clearly if it's who I think it is lol

Jisung bidding farewell in English and Mandarin <3

Macau!!!! Chenle is back!!!!

Ooh Fire Alarm rehearsal

Jeno brushing the back of Renjun's head and then apologizing lol

Haechan tickling Jeno's armpit as he passes during the choreography and then Mark shrinking in on himself to avoid the tickle too lol

Mark just flexing to the camera as they're about to head to the stage in Macau

Jaemin just stopping in front of the camera and going 加油

Jisung shimmy

Jisung was so amused by the huge neobong plush

Oh wow, two concerts in Macau.

Mark practising his Mandarin <3

Lol Donghyuck saying they're going to get hot pot after this and Jeno being like please cook the shrimp balls through this time. And in the background, Mark continued to practise in Mandarin.

Jeno asked Chenle how to say something in Mandarin and Chenle said it once, and Mark and Jeno repeated it immediately after. The Dreamies are really good at listening to something once and then repeating it. I could never.

Jeno and Mark practising Chewing Gum in Mandarin :3 and the Jisung joining in their rehearsal.

I looked up the first song that Jeno sang and it was 青春修煉手冊 by TFBoys. I knew it sounded familiar lol. Here's a clip of Jeno listening to it and singing it 7 years prior.

The song that Jeno sang with Jisung was an unreleased song. You can find an earlier reference to it again in the clip I linked in the bullet point just above.

Apart from Jeno and Jisung singing Mandarin songs (!!!!!!!!!), it would be nice if Jeno and Jisung got to sing more in general <3 Jisung especially has such a nice voice, even Renjun said so :P

I could hear Mark singing another Mandarin song in the background but I didn't look it up.

Chenle practising Best Friend ever in the mirror with his paws out while Jisung and Jeno watches

Mark singing along to the falsetto in Broken Melodies >3 Mark should also be singing more!!!!

I'm not gonna lie guys...3J is pretty powerful

Jaemin: 准備好了嗎???

LMAO is that Renjun on the cushion with the wide shoulders

Mark cheetah hat

Mark looking at Jeno like "are we going to hold hands? we're gonna hold hands, right?"

And then Jeno running to hug Jaemin XD Too bad the equipment covered them up haha.

Oh my god, puppy boy really is out here living his best life

Now onto Kuala Lumpur, which is the final stop of their Asia tour (I guess other than their last concerts in Seoul).

Jaemren <3

Jisung wearing some rings. Also I still can't get over the fact that he just wears a hoodie for practice without a shirt underneath. I don't know if it's just me but I think that would feel weird if you get sweaty lol.

Nomin shoulder massage

Mark working hard to carry Renjun

Renjun trying to shake out of Jaemin's hold every time he tries to touch him ^^;; Renjun wants to play angry wife so bad.
