I think that majority of players don’t even know that chen is one of the main character in game that it’s sad. I see a lot of people complaining about her appearing in stories after reunion arc even though her screen time is already a lot less than amiya and kaltsit… I think yj already forgot about the main characters concept lmao but her getting new outfit at different region is cool i guess but why are those outfits so weird- (sorry this is just my personally ranting…
true! before I go on my own ramble everyone else can scroll down to the bottom for (unconfirmed??) ten thousand mountains lore/trivia
Tumblr media
i have a feeling this image is somehow related to your ask LMFAO...
actually... have they mentioned the whole 'kaltsit = past, chen = present, and amiya = future' thing outside of CN or did i dream this i feel like they said it somewhere...i can kind of see how people would think amiya is the only protag seeing as there are people who unironically think the doc is the (sole/main) protag and chen/kal acting so antagonistic early on probably didnt help lol
2. yea its sad but as always if chen has 1 morbillion fans i am one of them if she has one im that 1 fan etc drinking their salty tears 🫡🫡🫡
3. uhhh went on a little costume design ramble sorry. my outfits copium is basically telling myself she's really getting the 'dad who does not really understand fashion buying(designing) clothes for child' treatment anime-style (like what can i say other than point to the night and day difference of dossoles chummer e2 fit vs the ice cream collab fit)
i have my personal nitpicks for every outfit but (looks at gavial2 summer skin) a 8.8 is so much better than a...nvm i'll refrain from grading. but for all the nits i pick i think they still pass the baseline of costume design because of the storytelling they do
base chen: cop who likes to yolo a bit too much, leave that one button undone so roll up her sleeves, give her gloves, give her a walkie talkie/earpiece etc, e2 makes that jacket even bigger and has that yummy rhodes teal
CNY skin: still of the opinion/hc that its the dress fumizuki mentioned which is why she looks like shes wearing it grudgingly, it has shorts though at least !!
chummer: shes (trying to be) on a holungday so bring back her epic tourist c cap and make her existing recognizable jacket more summer-y, also the duck heart emoji
victorian arc: cop sideclass(?) to sheriff detective or something, embracing her cringe but free era by leaving her collars up now has the sense to tuck in her shirt and wear actual pants, better coverage against the elements etc etc thank terra nevermind the fact theyre so tight fitting this is just like khr also she looks flatter in the animated PV smile i'm reminded of a wb comment that went sth like 'why are you dressing like this when youre already 30' on this fit and shes not explicitly 30 etc etc but i really like the 'chuuni(cringe but free) at 30' vibe
yumen: passing-by traveler with the cape!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍 i really like how it looks in the cg lol with the thinner/darker stripes on the outside, ngl no fucking idea what that green box is but i appreciate chen still having a little green and yellow on her outfit, the shortness of the dress? bothered me at first but ive come to the terms that chen is a shorts enjoyer so
10k mountains: youxia-core with the hat and cape👍👍👍👍👍👍 and keeps the plastic part from chummer jacket as well as the checkers (i think they were zips but you know, the black and white alternating…lol remember how her current thing is supposedly dealing with the reality of being grey or whatever as little sense as that makes. we are in full hc territory here but its so much better than adding another 20 belts) the heels dont exist to me though
like idk it's not even a high bar honestly just nail down the role/silhouettes first before adding your morbillion belts/fanservice 😭 looking at a certain bunch of characters anyway this is why swire has the best track record for outfits 1/? ill stop here before i start tambling about her summer drip
anyway everyone should look at this Canon(as in camera brand not the other meaning) ad ft. real cormorant im convinced they got the designs from HG early because they dropped a photoshoot ~bout a week after the 4anni livestream and they got the 2hu-style sleeves right that you can never see unless you look at the sprite sheet, uh
Tumblr media
wait what's this on the back
Tumblr media
oh its from a poem wait whys that so famili
Tumblr media Tumblr media
just going to link some translations/explainers of the poem i think but you can also look up '涼州詞 王之渙 + english translation' or something for more there's quite a few

Tumblr media
okayyy merry christmas and happy new year to everyone reading. never too late for a happy new year
Tumblr media
look at roseee shes serving so hard rn. but unfortunately she is talking to doc scratch. which is something one should never do. especially if one is a light player he really loves to torment light players for some reason
Tumblr media
look at how cool jade looks here i would wear the shit out of this outfit if it wasnt approx. 1 trillion degrees in my location. keep slaying girl
Tumblr media
what a thing to say. i know what he is talking about and yet i still barely understood what he meant
Tumblr media
yeah WHATEVER . most important character my ass. we dont care . booooo. boo
Tumblr media
why is jade sprite so sad shes being such a cry baby. honestly normal jade is based for this. jade sprite is just crying and crying for NO REASON. what is even the problem!!!!!
Tumblr media
very fucking interesting indeed.... what a funny thing to say. that is VERY FUCKING interesting......
Tumblr media
woah he looks so cool i love art i love images. also he looks like has the windows logo on his face... sponsored? hello?
Tumblr media
okay so i guess the mayor is having a bad dream. this is pretty scary man... i wonder if its like the ring that he has affecting him in some way. i dont know what it means....
Tumblr media
oh? vriska is here now
Tumblr media
dawwww shes so EEPY!!! that being said, the next page is [s] wake, and i really fucking hate this one. so im NOT EXCITED.
Tumblr media
ARADIA!!!! SHE DID IT!!!! im so happy for her and nothing else happens in this animation so i might as well not watch the rest of it
Tumblr media
:(
Tumblr media
sigh. man this sucks
Tumblr media
look at jade go. she looks so awesome! like a super hero. iron man. tony stark . stucky. i could do this all day . blargh
Tumblr media
ok so now im playing another game thing. kanaya and jade just had a conversation about how they have the same role in the two different sessions and how theyre more similar than they thought. also theres some future jade present karkat past jade password shenanigans going on. i loooove when time travel makes no sense and is super confusing. that isnt sarcasm btw. and that wasnt either. also, they updated the sprites in this one so they look way better and sweeeeeeeet. that was 8 e's btw. she isnt even here to appreciate my efforts.....
Tumblr media
this is like scott pilgrim to me. theyre about to go at it!!!! who you guys got money on? me personally i bet sollux 3-0s him and doesnt lose a stock
Tumblr media
easter egg
Tumblr media
anyway yeah guys i was just kidding sollux was no match for eridans insane hope powers. really wasnt even fair to begin with
Tumblr media
yeah and now eridan snaps and becomes an incel. sadge. why do people even like this guy?? WHATEVER HES MID HOPE HE DIES SOON RIP BOZO
Tumblr media
my honest reaction to eridan to only knocking out the guy he had an actual problem with, but killing two women who he liked and respected
Tumblr media
on top of that, gamzee has officially lost it. MAN EVERYTHING IS FUCKING SPIRALING MAN TAVROS IS DEAD KANAYAS DEAD FEFERIS DEAD SOLLUX IS KO'D GAMZEES CRAZY. surely nothing else goes wrong
Tumblr media
yeah
Tumblr media
karkat....:(
Tumblr media
oh.....hey john....nice to see you..... maybe you can lift my mood a little...
Tumblr media
STOP CALLING WOMEN CRAZY. even if this one might be a little crazy .. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT
Tumblr media
ALALALALLALAAL thats what vriska looks like shes saying. do you see it i see it personally
Tumblr media
man now i gotta be equius in this game. lets see how this goes...
SHES SO REAL I LOVE HER. nothing bad will ever happen to her
Tumblr media
okay well i reached the end of the game and also the image limit for this post. so ill continue this next time. but i just gotta say
that it was actually pretty good. like go figure the equius one was pretty engaging. equius is very protective of nepeta and it was very sad when he was like "let me take this chance to say goodbye" and nepeta was like "um okay but i will see you soon." like. yeah i guess you will.... :(
i actually liked both of them in this one isolated game . sad for whats gonna happen in the coming pages

Annie in a nice holiday flannel with the sleeves rolled up? I’d faint.
I loved the new Christmas headcanons! Especially Yelena’s, I’ve always wanted to just skip the whole Christmas dinner thing and go get some really good Chinese food. I like the Jewish headcanon too, it gives her some spice.
Oh and I loved that Hange would be over prepared and have their gifts early, I feel like the other characters would be surprised at that. Hange, known chaos-causer, has a calm stressless Christmas. And the Santa outfit on them sounds so cute.
girl retweet and same! my absolute favorite outfits on her are flannels and overalls. the lesbian energy is real!
thank you! heh i debated literally just putting "she's jewish" and nothing else. it's a funny contrast for everyone else to have so much going on and Yelena does nothing using no effort, very in character imo. somethings gotta set her apart anyway
ashjdndnf i didnt think of it like that! theyre an absolute mess until it comes to Christmas presents. i think they'd insist on wearing the suit even though nobody else cares 💀
> Annie not giving a shit is totally in character, why would she spend money and time on good wrapping paper when you’re just going to rip it off? And I can just imagine her trying to hide the excitement at putting all the lights up on the house. I hate to repeat things but: it sounds so cute! < > In conclusion: I loved it. So much. < > I’d like to wish you and your family a Happy Christmas and New Year, < > Pink Anon <
you're right, i couldn't have said it any better myself. the gift is what's important anyway so why should she make the wrapping look pretty? she'd be fine with just handing you an unwrapped gift too. she'd never, EVER admit to liking anything that would make her look soft, but i think she secretly really likes to decorate (for any holiday).
thank you for your feedback though, you are too kind and i feel so seen! i love and appreciate you so much ehebsdheheh i hope you had a great holiday as well! i'm manifesting that 2022 is going to be a less shitty year for us all!
also btw, i'm sorry it took me a couple of days to get back to you. i've been sick for the past couple of days and i got distracted playing video games :// no excuses i'm just going through it

I Love you (no homo) i enjoy your essays and ur likey of my art :insert that really round emoji with the big eyes: ur art sexy too btw :flushed:
:flushed::flushed::flushed: 
i can do an essay about what i like to do  . well mini essay . actually just me rambling
with my art i find that it is most enjoyable just to Go Off 
primarily in a cartoonish style, round with round eyes. i keep forgetting to emphasize the eyes OR the mouth since doing both is uncomfortable and Painful 
or i’ll mess around trying to be a little more realistic. i haven’t fully confirmed how i like drawing faces and i keep ending up drawing them longer than i’d like but it’s not uncanny and it’s still slightly pleasing
most of the time i use solid lines (though i very much do prefer crunchy lines theyre very tasty and good)
im about to draw an eye since im about to make a tma shitpost animatic that i’ll regret the moment i post it but im also making a separate account to not torture my cookie run subscribers . it’ll hopefully be a little realistic and the blending will be done in my Favorite way
with the setting to opacity by pressure ! it really gives the shading a different feel. i guess you could kind of compare it to oil pastels which  is my favorite traditional material it looks so nice pretty easily. i haven’t used an oil pastel since freshman year (a little over a year ago)
there’s a lot i like about my style and a lot i don’t like about it but that’s just how any style goes. there’s bits i don’t like about other people’s art but i move on from it since it still looks very pretty and nice OR gross on purpose 
i really want to try drawing gore more since im quite the sucker for it actually . gore and healing and characters playing with organs. i once drew dr bartleby holding an organ . actually ive done it twice in my memory. once in a math packet that i lost and i dont know where it went i wish i did since every math doodle of her is wonderous . the second time is less impressive and more of a perspective practice 
unrelated to art in all its glory i really love character design. if i had could enjoy a job it’d probably be character design. doodle up some grand old concepts and show it off, explaining every bit of thought i put into the character 
i put some thought in my character designs !!!! i love doing that
Tumblr media
im going to explain these two 
i wanted to make a feminine male character since i love gnc people !!! theyre all so amazing and i aspire to be like that someday (i could but as of right now i prefer presenting as masculine as i can)
the feminine male who i still havent named (i havent named either) will be called long hair and the ginger. well. ginger
long hair over there likes wearing skirts of all shapes and sizes (and is wearing that outfit since i like drawing clothes like that). i think i should’ve given him some gardening boots but i understand i avoided it because i give all my characters boots and also i wanted to show off the rose vine leggings. he really loves gardening 
ginger was struck by lightning in his early childhood  ! it hurt like hell and storms tend to scare him now . he doesnt really show it though. ginger’s pretty silent and tends to cover himself since he doesn’t like talking about the origins of his scar (though the origin itself is pretty obvious. at least to me. lichtenberg seems to only come from lightning though anyone can correct that if they know more about the topic than i do)
also he covers himself up cuz he’s very pale and sunburns easily . and i like drawing coats 
(i can explain more of my concept sketches if you’d like but im going to make an animatic now)
AFTER I EXPLAIN WHAT I LIKE IN THE DRAWING I JUST SENT because i like typing words from my head
i like the proportions in ginger’s more humanlike head (even though it uses a common head + nose style) 
long hair’s a bit more uncomfortable in a more humanlike style but i like his chibi-esque simplicity version along with how i did his hair
the sketch is, as i usually make them, pretty smooth-lined . i don’t normally sketch with sketchy sketchy lines unless if im trying to make something a little more on the scary side 
i know i didn’t go this deep with all my friends but im ME and i know what i do and don’t do 
i really should start taking more shortcuts in my art-- like copy/pasting the legs/arms/curved lines. curved lines are harder to copy and paste though since you’ll have to mess around with it a bit (even if it’s just moving it slightly and adding a bit to the lines)
im just too lazy to take the shortcuts sometimes aha <3

55. when do you feel most yourself?

skaterboy!AU yoon sanha
category: flOOOOOF note: dedicated to kaka~( @sanhasmoonbuns ) and completely inspired by this super cute photo so i couldn't resist writing this
Tumblr media
at every school there's that "skater" squad that's considered really cool & considered popular
they would skate to school together, skate down the street to the mall, skate in the neighborhood, basically they just SKATE A LOT
and everybody at your school ADORESS THEM
"omg the skaters passed by my house this morning and one of the boys WINKED AT ME AIHFOAFIA"
"wow skaters r so hot"
"have you seen the skaters today ?1!1!! they ditched school omg"
"i'm taking skating lessons now"
but then you're just awkwardly there because you really DON'T care
i mean yeah skateboards are cool but in your opinion the skaters are just edgy teenagers who are rebellious and you don't really find any appeal in that
so one day you have to walk home and you do this thing where you always go another direction from the skaters so you can avoid them
but it's not like it's bc you hate them or anything
you just don't wanna be in the way when they SKRT SKRRTTTTT past you
so there you are walking home with your earplugs in when suddenly you hear that SKRT SKRTTTT
AND YOU'RE SHOOK BECAUSE NOW WAIT A MINUTE A SKATEBOARD'S GONNA RUN OVER ME GOSHDARNIT
and before you can move out of the way bOOM a person crashes into you from behind
and you stumble forward and scrape your knee and it's stinging really badly too
and then you hear a squeaky voice that sounds really worried and he's saying "ARE YOU OKAY" while rushing forward to examine your leg
and at first you're like "yeah i'm good" but then suddenly you get anGRY AND YOU'RE LIKE:
"WHY TF DID YOU RUN OVER ME COULDN'T YOU HAVE LIKE WARNED ME AT LEAST OR TRIED TO GET OUT OF MY WAY THIS SIDEWALK ISNT THAT NARROW"
and the boy which you now take time to look at eyes just widen a little
his hair is brunette and he has messy bangs that fall a little bit over his eyes
he's wearing this red snapback, earbuds are dangling from his pockets, and he's wearing a lot of wristbands
and then you realize huh this boy is actually really cutee!! wait no hes not lol-what am i saying
and he's lowkey scared but then he turns anGRY too and he's like
"WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE WALKING SMACK IN THE MIDDLE SO I WOULDNT HAVE CRASHED INTO YOU"
"SO THIS IS MY FAULT?"
"I MEAN, YEAH"
"WHAT, HOW IS IT-"
then you two start bickering over whose fault it was for a solid two minutes before you look down at your phone and realize that you should've been home by now
so you're like oH SHIT we'll continue this argument another day then you usain bolt down the road
the next day, you're at lunch with your friends and you're eating your lunch and socializing
when suddenly a band-aid falls in front of you and when you look up it's tHE SAME BOY FRMO YESTERDAY
and YOUR FRIENDS JUST KINDA LOOK AT HIM THEN LOOK AT YOU THEN LOOK AT HIM 
AND THEYRE IN SHOCK BC WHATS A SKATER BOI DOING HERE
you notice that he's wearing a different outfit this time: backwards snapback and a green hoodie (still with those tangled earbuds though)
and his skateboard is still hanging loosely in his arms
so you give him the stinkeye and you're like "why are you here"
and i guess he wasn't expecting that response because he chokes on his words before coming up with "i got you a band-aid since you scraped your knee"
and you just scoff at him and show him your already bandaged knee
and he's like :O and he reaches his hand to take it back but you're like "no it's okay i'll just save it for the next time you crash into me"
the boy is obviously shocked but then he just laughs and says, "can't wait"
then he leaves not before winking at you and then you turn back to your table and your friends are ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) why didn't you tell us about this
so school ends and you're walking home alone AGAIN unfortunately
but this time sanha is lingering at the school gates while tossing his skateboard in his hand from boredom
then he looks up and sees you and he's like "oh (Y/N) wait up!" and he runs over to you
and you're just like ??¿?¿¿ how do you know my name
regardless, you allow him to walk with you anyways because it's lonely walking alone
and that's how you learn his name which is sanha
you and sanha chat about random shenanigans and argue over small things
"it's better hearing the bad news before the good news because when you hear the good news it'll lift your spirits and make you forget about the bad news and compensate for it"
"but that's false hope and expectation. it's better to hear the good news and THEN hear the bad news so you don't delude yourself into happiness"
and so this becomes a habit now; he would wait for you at the school gates and you two would walk together to your house. he'd watch you go in and skate away.
it becomes such a casual routine now and you actually quite enjoy it
one day you ask sanha why he doesn't hangout with his skater friends after school anymore 
and he just casually says "eh they're no fun compared to you."
and your heart flutters a little bit at his words even though he probably didn't really mean it romantically
as time progresses you find your heartbeat accelerating each time you see him and you would become unusually shy around him
but you being a stubborn cookie, you would never admit to having a crush on sanha although all of your friends know it too well
all of your friends think you guys are dating because you're always seen wearing his snapbacks and hoodies and sharing earbuds in the hallways
plus you two would often hangout during lunch together and sneak off into the back of the school and just listen to music together
and all these little actions he does such as pushing a strand of hair behind your ear or teaching you how to ride a skateboard makes your heart go sssKKKKRRRAAAA 
then on one fateful day as you two are sitting together during lunch sanha suddenly offers to visit the skate park together
and you're like sure! and then he says "ok let's go now" and you're like ب_ب wdym
"let's go to the skate park right now!" he says really cheerfully which is different from his usual chill and calm mood
but YOU'RE LIKE AIWHOADIFH DITCHING SCHOOL ?????
and at first you hit him playfully and scold him for even thinking about skipping school especially since his grades have been doing so well lately
and sanha feels down that you rejected him but then you look at his sad state and you're finally like OK WHATEVER LETS GO YOU LITTLE BRAT
and immediately sanha is (。◕‿‿◕。) again
using his past rebellious experinces, sanha is able to get past the locked school gates with you and your adrenaline is ruuuuuushhing because oh god what if we get caught!!!1!!
but when sanha holds your hand you calm down and you know that he'll protect you <3
once you two make it outside the gates, you both run away as fast as you can before somebody sees and by the time you reach the skate park you're both out of breath bc wow exercise amirite?
and at the skate park you two have lots of fun together (^̮^)
he holds your hands as you try to balance on the skateboard and even tho you're wobbling sanha laughs and encourages you to keep on trying
and once you can finally "ride" the skateboard he's never been so hYPED BEFORE
"yay now we can ride together!!11!!1!"
"sanha i dont have a skateboard lol"
"oh"
so when christmas comes up and sanha is waiting at the school gates you notice a pretty big present box in his hands
and you're like oh?? what's that
and guess what? it's a skateboard he bought for you and it's in a custom design of this really cool black and white sketch
and you're like in LOVE with it because it's so new and nice and pretty and you can't help yourself from hugging sanha really tightly bc wow thanks i love it omg
and you two finally skateboard together (although you occasionally trip and fall down but its ok bc sanha is always somehow there to catch you)
but you didn't forget about sanha's christmas gift!!!
you TOO got sanha a BRAND NEW SKATEBOARD since you notice that the one he uses is rlly old and is about to snap in half
but you put more thought into it by customizing his initials in it and choosing a plain design since sanha isn't into overly decorated things
and when you reveal it to sanha he almost cries because he spent all his money on your gift so he couldn't get a new skateboard but you got it instead for him
and then the next day he shows you that he carved your name onto the skateboard and you blush so hard and at this point your heart is soARRRING FLYINGGG
so in return you put the band-aid he gave you at lunch a long time ago onto the skateboard and he’s like bursting into laughter at the memory and he’s like obsessed with it
and obviously you can't hold your feelings in because you truly love sanha as a friend and as a partner
so one night at the skate park it's completely vacant and the sun is setting with pink clouds looming in the air
and you and sanha are laying down besides eachother in those big bowls used to do cool skateboard tricks while staring at the sky
and like always, you two are sharing earbuds and are listening to chill lofi hiphop music
until suddenly you turn around to face his face as he gets lost in the view above you guys
and you can see his eyes glowing like he's in a dream and you realize the beauty of love and how beautiful sanha is 
and then he looks at you and just smirks "what are you staring at?
"you." you bluntly reply
sanha just chuckles and stares back at you, forgetting about the sky
"are you just now realizing how sexy i am?" sanha teases playfully
you scoff but can't help to smile yourself
then out of the blue you lean forward and peck him on his cheek quickly
aND SANHA fREEZES because WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?!1??
then you confess "i love you" before you can regret it
so he wraps his arms around you and pulls you tighter to him until your face is nuzzled in his hoodie
"i love you too."
“my knee still hurts tho i wont forgive you for that”
“you really know how to ruin the mood”

#126: Is Your Home Making You Grumpy?
Lots of us want a more organized home, but are we going about it the wrong way? Today we’re talking with a home efficiency expert about how rethinking our approach to organizing could end up making us all happier – and maybe even help us be more patient partners and more present parents. She also explains why we should treat our kitchen like an operating room, how Sherry’s minimized closet could be better, and why garages are so hard to keep under control. We’re also sharing how a random phone call and a dicey forecast sucked the momentum right out of our duplex progress, but we’re still finding some silver lining in the news. Plus Sherry falls hard for some fairies.
You can download this episode from Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn Radio, and Spotify – or listen to it below! Note: If you’re reading in a feed reader, you may have to click through to the post to see the player.
What’s New
That’s a quick video tour of our messy garage, filled with boxes and stuff to be hauled in a big moving truck to the duplex – including the two Crate & Barrel sofas we ordered over a year ago! (Bonus: some dining room insanity)
NOTE: If you’re reading in a feed reader you may need to click through to view the video. You can also watch it here on YouTube.
Tumblr media
We bought those sofas way back in Nov of 2017 (!!!) right after buying one for our Richmond house because they were having a crazy sale and we loved the one we got for our house. We have the “Steel” color here, but the duplex couches are both “Truffle” because it was the color that was deeply discounted.
Tumblr media
The rest of the boxes include things like window blinds, curtain rods, curtain rings, toilet paper holders, shower rods, and hardware for kitchen. Oh, and there are some rugs in there too.
And here’s the picture of my infamous moving-truck-in-the-ditch moment when moving out of our first house eight years ago. You can read about the whole ordeal here.

We’re Digging
Tumblr media
Those are the books Sherry has been poring over these last few weeks. The first book in the series is A Court of Thorns And Roses, followed by A Court of Mist And Fury, and finally A Court of Wings And Ruin. (There’s also a box set if that’s your jam).
Sherry says it’s similar to The Selection series she recommended a while back – although she might slightly prefer these (in her words, “they’re a bit more Game Of Thrones meets Hunger Games – plus fairies, but cool ones that wear leather outfits”)
And she’s already picked up the first book in Sarah Maas’ next series, A Throne of Glass.
Below are just some examples of the range of shower heads that have that H20Kinetic technology (again, not sponsored – I just really like the ones we’ve bought and can tell a difference). Most of these also come in multiple finishes: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7
Tumblr media
The one we found on the clearance rack doesn’t seem to be sold anywhere anymore, but it’s similar to #7
If you’re looking for something we’ve dug in a past episode, but don’t remember which show notes to click into, here’s a master list of everything we’ve been digging from all of our past episodes. You can also see all the books we’ve recommended on our Book Club page.

💖 BTS LOVE YOURSELF WORLDTOUR IN AMSTERDAM (ZIGGO) 131018 💖
PRECONCERT
I finally managed to get tickets, but I already bought expensive tickets on stubhub I had to sell at the venue on Saturday ;;; But first I had to go to Korean School, but I had a fever and was feeling so sick (I still am...) When we arrived at the venue, it was SO CROWDY?????!!!!! there were a lot of fans and the weather was so hot too wow :o Anyways I still managed to sell my tickets and made two armys really happy <3 
In the venue I was by myself and made a new friend and we talked so much! They were playing MVs and I couldn't wait any longer ;; My view for the stage was amazing too! I could see everything really well and I`was pretty close too :D
I posted fancams and fanpics on my twitter  
SETLIST (2,5 hr) 1. IDOL 2. SAVE ME 3. IM FINE 4. MAGIC SHOP 5. JUST DANCE (JHOPE) 6. EUPHORIA (JUNGKOOK) 7. I NEED U 8. RUN 9. SERENDIPITY (JIMIN) 10. LOVE (NAMJOON) 11. DNA 12. MEDLEY - BOYS WITH FUN 13. MEDLEY - ATTACK ON BANGTAN 14. MEDLEY - FIRE 15. MEDLEY - BAEPSAE 16. MEDLEY - DOPE 17. AIRPLANE PT 2 18. SINGULARITY (TAEHYUNG) 19. FAKE LOVE (ROCK VERSION) 20. SEESAW (YOONGI) 21. EPIPHANY (JIN) 22. THE TRUTH UNTOLD 23. TEAR 24. MIC DROP 25. SO WHAT 26. ANPANMAN 27. LOVE MYSELF
Note: I didn't film everything, I was only holding my phone at some songs at some parts, Idk how I remember everything so clearly, but they mean so much to me so probably my mind wanted to remember everything ;;
CONCERT They started Idol with lots of fireworks, am I really seeing bangtan? I couldn't believe my eyes AT ALL. The fan chants were amazing too, in my fancams Im screaming a lot AHAHHA but oh my god..... I still cant believe I saw bangtan!!! I also wanted to say they talked Dutch a lot (Namjoon: Aangenaam Kennis te maken, Jungkook: Geniet van de Show and I cant remember what the others said). And then they did the Save me + im fine and really save me and im NOT fine. it was so good SKFJKSDJFS Im fine is one of my favourite songs of ANSWER and I JUST SAW IT LIVE TOO?! And next up was Magic Shop, which is such a beautiful song. Especially singing ‘’I show you’’ to bangtan made me really teary and the precious VMIN moments too <3 I also want to say I've never seen any live performances (except the old songs, medley, mic drop, anpanman, im fine and idol)! Now Jhope and Jungkook were about to have their solo, and the dance moves in just dance of JHOPE. I need.... air, he is so good ;;;; Jungkook was still hurt and was doing Euphoria while sitting (he also did lots of choreos on the chair). And he had such a beautiful smile at the ‘high note parts’ it made me so weak and soft ;u; And I expected this song, but then I didn't expect it either, but this was another version of I NEED U and they were all wearing white and lowkey were looking like the most beautiful angels and human beings ive ever seen ;; We had to rap yoongis part too! and tHEN SJSKFJKSJ RUN RUN!!!! RUNN CAME!!!! IM SOBBING, I LOVE RUN SO MUCH?!!!! And now Serendipity was next :’) this was the most cutest, adorable, yet beautiful and so jimin performance I have EVER SEEN. He was playing with bubbles, doing a smooth choreo and smiling/giggling a lot, but the heartbeat he did? My heartbeat was total flat line at that POINT because that was TOOO MUCH JIMINess. Next up was our president: Kim Namjoon, he had so much fun performing and I did the fan chants so loudly ;; DNAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! I know I say I dont like DNA a lot, but the moment I heard the flute I screamed the fan chants so loudly and since ive been screaming for more than an hour too: I was losing my voice. BUT FIRST OF ALL, IS KING TAEHYUNG LOOKING AT JHOPE WHILE DANCING (INSTEAD OF THEIR BACKS ON EACHOTHER), THEN HE IS HOLDING JUNGKOOK WHILE SINGING? EXCUSE ME SIR.
JIMIN BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION So during this MC, the screen behind turned into a Jimin screen and it said In dutch ‘’My Angel and my world’’ and jimin is indeed our angel and our world! he was so happy and started running towards the main stage (they were on the extended stage) and he went on his knees and said things like thank you!!! I love you!! and this is my best birthday and wont forget it either!! (things like that) and the member started running (EVEN INJURED JUNGKOOK!) towards him too and hugging him ;; We all sang happy birthday to him!
Medley and then the amazing medley! they started with Boys with Fun (taehyung didn't choreo his dance :( ) but it was nevertheless really amazing! Jungkook was doing lots of choreos on the chair during this medley! During Attack on Bangtan; Jimin was sitting on the floor and looking at Jungkook and both had such a beautiful smile ;; And it was so quiet and suddenly taehyung screamed MAKE SOOMEEEEE NOOOISE and you heard a loud ‘’Bultaoreune’’ and [closed] they did the 3:33 [username himenation more closed]. their energy was mind-blowing! Especially Jimins! and suddenLY BAEPSAE CAME AN I REALY LOVE THIS SONG (they were A LOT less wild and less hoe-ing than in USA, they did baepsae how they always did it lol). but everyone jumped away from the stage to give Jhope is part anD DAMN JHOOOOOPEEEE. After BAEPSAE they dID DOPE GUYS!!!!!!!! and jungkook did the choreo while sitting, oh god I love bts so much man
Concert part 2 After DOPE they did AIRPLANE PT 2. And I havent mentioned yet how gorgeous they looked, but especially Jin! He was wearing this oversized holographic-ish shirt but looked so amazing and the namjin part [ooof], jin also accidentally exposed his abs lol (Issa win for the kimseokjinstans), but also the yoongmin part, the dance EVERYTHING! 
And... singularity came, guys.... taehyung is my bias, but he wrecked me so much this whole concert, ive been sobbing man, this man is so perfect ;; the way he sings it, his voice, dance, aura, his visuals, all A+ After singularity they did the rock version of Fake Love and they were wearing this black outfit, with lots of mesh, leather etc They looked so OOF. But the funniest part was everyone chanting I DONT KNOW NAN MOLLA (its not even part of the fanchant HAAHHA). and then finally! MR YOONGIS SOLO! MY FAV RAPPERS SOLO! He was on a table, but he was performing like he was on a seesaw (the meaning of the song is past-present though) but IT WAS SO GOOD!!! and now we were about to go emo, because jin started his solo on a piano ;; his mic didn't work properly in the beginning so the fans started to sing for him, but after one-two sentences he got his mic back and he continued and the song was so beautiful I got so teary ;; And then we had the truth untold, in other words the superior song by the vocal line ever. It was.... so...... beautiful.......... taehyung and jimin both changed their notes, which made this song more memorable. Jimin was crying though (and I think taehyung a bit too) it gave the performance such an amazing touch; how they were able to sing with such emotions. Jungkooks mic didn't work In the beginning either, so we sang for him! I was such a mess I was feeling so emotional ;;;;;;;;; im so glad TEAR was up next because rapline POPPED OFF AND CAME FOR OUR WIGS AND EVERYONE. IT WAS SO GOOD! The whole venue turned black, with greenlights and laser OH GOD and oh my god oh my god the raps oh my god. And now MIC DROP REMIX CAME UP INCLUDING THE DANCE BREAK KJFKSJDKSJKFSJJFKS jungkook didn't participate but wow THIS SONG AND THE FANCHANTS??!! THE Bodyrolls were so cool, taehyung came for my wig! 
ENCORE They all came in blue pants and their white t-shirt. Jimin also had a cap on! they all looked so handsome omg (when do they not!?) But when they sung SO WHAT, I burst into tears because I realised it was about to end ;; Jin was being very very very wild with a towel, did the shoot dance with jungkook (yes he tried to!!!) jin and taehyung did their part again, and taehyung was wearing an orange hairband (on purpose) and playing with it ;^; During anpanman taehyung was holding jungkook and singing his part, then jin came running towards jungkook and was dancing very wildly he fell on the grOUND KFJKFSKJ also our president came to jungkook too and pat his shoulders ;;; jimin gave his cap to jungkook OOOF SO MANY INTERACTIONS!!!!! and lastly... LOVE MYSELF, I cried so hard, during this song I couldn't even breathe. its one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard and hearing those voice and message coming from bangtan really made me cry. They mean so much to me. The VMIN part had me on the floor, I couldn't handle it anymore and my friend started hugging me :( 
LAST MC Yoongi said he loved Amsterdam a lot and it was so far one of the best concerts they ever had. We were so loud! They also admitted they wanted to come here last year, but it got cancelled and they feel sorry they couldn't do a 2nd date here, but theyre coming back next year! Jhope also talked how he was sightseeing with taehyung and jungkook talked that he was thinking about things a lot lately. Jimin was being the cutie again and was copying fans, but he called us his presents too :(( Jin also talked dutch but I couldn't really understand HAHAH but then Jhope wanted say goodbye (doei) and he kept saying DOEI, DOEIDOEI, DDDDOEEII, DOEIDOEIDOEI, DOEEEEEII, DDDDOEEEI and made it sound like a sound effect and bangtan followed and they were laughing so much :’)
Jiminbar (a fansite) turned zing into jimin by advertising his birthday!! ooof the banner and the whole venue looked GREAT! 
I really loved the concert so much, and I miss them so much. I cant wait to see them again :(( theyre such great human beings, bless them T_T They know how to perform! Their vocals and dance moves are a whole another level, and if you think they sound good on CD? bish get ready for hearing it live, because it sounds so much better!!!! Im going to miss them so much, but thank you Jin, Yoongi, Namjoon, Jhope, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook for being in my life, changing it for the better, cheering me up, having good music and being such great humble human beings <3 I love you guys so much. See you next time <3

8 Trends to Buy Into Now Before They’re Everywhere
https://fashion-trendin.com/8-trends-to-buy-into-now-before-theyre-everywhere-2/
8 Trends to Buy Into Now Before They’re Everywhere
The editorial team at Man Repeller has been engaging in numerous discussions lately about whether trends actually exist anymore. Personally, I think that even though they don’t exist in the same capacity they did 70 years ago when every woman essentially wore the same dress silhouette, there are still distinctive style “movements” that permeate our popular consciousness, whether it’s a micro-trend like bucket hats or a broader aesthetic commotion like milkmaid-core.
There is also still an oceanic push and pull to the fashion industry in general, a rushing tide of collective participation that makes certain stylistic choices appear more ubiquitous over a period of time and others less so in comparison. From an observational standpoint, I’ve always been interested in how each season of New York Fashion Week dictates these tides, ushering in a new group of trends-in-the-making  — not to displace the old ones, necessarily, because the fact remains that people can and should always wear what they want to wear regardless of the zeitgeist, but nudging them to the forefront in a definitive way.
To that end, I’ve noted down seven significant emerging trends from New York Fashion Week, as well as the specific trends from last season that are likely to takeover our Instagram feeds. Consider the below rundown a crystal ball of sorts for predicting what you should buy into to stay ahead of the curve, if you’re into that kind of thing.
I’m far from being done with wearing milkmaid-inspired attire, but I’m also sniffing out what the next dress phenomenon will be and based on the past week’s shows it seems sheer is IT. I spotted sheer dresses at Collina Strada, Area, Bevza, Beaufille, Sandy Liang, Pyer Moss and Maryam Nassir Zadeh. While many of them were styled with not much underneath, this trend is ours for the personalizing; I like the idea of wearing one over a tank top and bike shorts (another trend that definitely isn’t fading anytime soon based on the Spring/Summer 2019 collections).

Flip-flops have threatened to trend for a few seasons now (see: Louis Vuitton and Dior’s Resort 2016 collections) and are always met with a gurgle of controversy as they fall squarely into the ugly shoe bucket alongside Birkenstocks, clogs, Crocs and the like. But guess what zebra butt? Birkenstocks, clogs and Crocs have all fought their way into high fashion’s inner sanctum, so why not flip-flops? Based on the thong parade at Tibi, Dion Lee, Priscavera and Bevza, it’s looking like it’s finally their turn (or at least, they’re in the running alongside Tevas which showed up at Tome, Collina Strada, Sandy Liang, Nanushka, Area and Anna Sui).

Cargos had a nice run as rulers of the dorky pants kingdom, but khakis are gunning for the spot per Sies Marjan, Sally LaPointe and Tory Burch. Personally I’m thrilled and plan to hop on this trend long before spring rolls around. I’m already having visions of the perfect fall outfit replete with a pair of khakis, penny loafers, a striped shirt and this precise sweater from Kule. If you’re reading this and wondering whether you can combine trends past and present and find yourself a pair of CARGO KHAKIS, the answer is yes by all means and please order some for me as well.

The powers that be have decided your fanny needs a break and it’s time to move on to enormous slouchy shoulder bags — if you’re interested, that is. Proenza Schouler, Derek Lam and Tome are serving up vessels far more commodious, which is great news if you’ve been trying to stuff all your belongings into a vessel the size of your palm every day.

Leandra recently asked me what comes after the white cotton blouse (trend-wise), and I told her I wasn’t sure because I still loved wearing them but I’ve also been entertaining a craving for knit tanks of late. I’m not saying I manifested this season’s preponderance of crochet tanks, but I’m also not not saying it, if you know what I mean. Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Kate Spade, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Eckhaus Latta, Oscar de la Renta and Ulla Johnson satisfied my craving in spades, showing a myriad of sleeveless knits I can’t wait to approximate in my shopping cart this month.

I’ll admit this one hit me particularly hard. I thought I wanted an 80s-style windbreaker to be my light fall outerwear of choice but after seeing the plush fleeces at Mansur Gavriel, Coach and Sandy Liang, that idea went completely out the window in favor of dressing myself like a cozy fuzzball. I’ve been madly investigating what fleeces are available currently on the internet ever since and I’m very seriously considering this retro men’s one from Patagonia.

  Holy tufted titmice! Wide belts are bag! I thought about buying a skinny PVC belt after I saw and loved so many last season, but now I’m refocusing my gaze on their more substantial cousins. I haven’t worn a wide belt since 2013 and had a questionable personal blog, so this is really a fun throwback with a twist, the twist being that instead of wearing the wide belts at waist-level, Tibi and Maryam Nassir Zadeh suggest slinging them low around your hips. Oh, and apparently belt loops are optional.

Man Repeller has covered the creeping preponderance of bike shorts a couple of times (see: here and here), but this season of New York Fashion Week officially stamped them as a mega-trend that isn’t going anywhere thanks to appearances at Baja East, Rachel Antonoff, LaQuan Smith, Area and Maryam Nassir Zadeh. In addition to being far more comfortable than denim cut-offs, they also make the errand-to-gym transition impeccably seamless; more importantly, though, now is most certainly the right time to recreate Princess Diana’s iconic bike shorts off-duty look.
What trends are you buying into or holding onto post-fashion week?

Got it covered: fashion wakes up to Muslim womens style
With the Islamic economy growing at double the global rate, mainstream designers are jumping on the modest wear bandwagon
A year or so ago the term modest wear would have drawn puzzled looks. But what a difference a year or, in fact, a few weeks makes.
This month, Vogue Arabia launched its first ever print issue, with Saudi Arabian princess Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz as its editor in chief. Days later, Nike pioneered a hi-tech hijab for Muslim female athletes. London has seen its first modest fashion week. Big brands such as DKNY, Mango, Dolce & Gabbana, Oscar de la Renta and Uniqlo have all offered modest fashion lines to women, and Debenhams has just become the first department store to sell hijabs on the high street.
Yet the latest talking point in fashion circles has been the appearance of The Modist, a luxury e-commerce venture which launched, quite intentionally, on international womens day. Fashion that caters to women who want to combine their faith or modesty with contemporary style has emphatically arrived.
The founder and CEO of The Modist is 38-year-old Ghizlan Guenez, of Algerian background, who presents her new company more as a philosophy than a fashion destination. And of course Guenez, who has a private-equity background, knows this is where the big money lies. Global Muslim expenditure on fashion is set to rise to $484bn (398bn) by 2019, according to Reuters and DinarStandard, a research and advisory firm.
The Modist could not have launched at a better time, says Guenez. The stars were aligning for us. We saw Halima Aden, the first Muslim model in a hijab on the catwalk at New York fashion week, modelling for Yeezy, Kanye Wests fashion line; were seeing big brands reaching out to Muslim audiences even more, and we had the womens march, which was incredibly empowering for women all over the globe.

Guenez sees social media as pivotal to the modest fashion industry. Social media has played a significant role in bringing women together so a Malaysian fashionista can be inspired by a student in London. Theyre informed by an online community of women who want to combine faith values with fashion.
The Modist curates outfits that range from around 200 to 2,000, from coloured maxi dresses to wide-leg trousers, and dynamic-cut tops. Yet when it comes to gauging what modesty really means, Guenez is measured. Modesty is a wide spectrum that involves personal choice, she says. But we do respect certain parameters, through lowering hemlines, avoiding sheerness and low necklines. We want to provide something that is inspiring, fashionable and relevant.
Yet modest fashion, particularly when it comes to Muslims, has not been without controversy. Vogue Arabias front cover caused a Twitter backlash for depicting 21-year-model Gigi Hadid in a jewel-encrusted veil. She was criticised for giving religious offence, for cultural appropriation and for using her Palestinian roots as a fashion gimmick.
And of course there was the global outcry when burkinis, the full-piece Islamic swimsuits, were banned last summer from a string of French coastal towns and bizarrely linked to terrorism.
Reina Lewis, professor of cultural studies at the London College of Fashion, observes that when modest fashion mixes with major brands and Muslims, it can prompt controversy. The fashion industry is broadly secular and there is an anxiety associated with Muslims and Islam in particular, she says. Muslims are often seen to be outside western-perceived cultural production.
But that negative attitude is shifting, says Lewis. When she started researching her book Muslim Fashion: Contemporary Style Cultures, she found the Muslim female designers, bloggers and entrepreneurs she spoke to could not get the attention of the big brands. Now modest wear is seen as an asset because of Muslim spending power, she says.
According to Reuters and DinarStandard, the Islamic economy is growing at nearly double the global rate. Muslim consumer spending on food and lifestyle reached $1.8tn in 2014 and is projected to reach $2.6tn in 2020.
And so modest wear continues to draw major brands: Dolce & Gabbana created a luxury hijab and abaya range in 2016; DKNY and Mango launched exclusive modest wear lines for Ramadan and Eid targeting the UAE; H&M featured its first Muslim model in a hijab, Mariah Idrissi, and Uniqlo joined forces with British-Japanese designer Hana Tajima to create their LifeWear collection. Debenhams is collaborating with a Muslim-run company, Aab, to sell kimono wraps, silky jumpsuits and elegant hijabs.

Just weeks before the release of Nikes Pro Hijab, aimed at Muslim athletes, the company launched a video for Middle Eastern audiences. It featured a diversity of Muslim women ice-skating, boxing, horse-riding, and fencing. The voiceover, in Arabic, says: What will they say about you? Maybe theyll say you exceeded all expectations.
Its long overdue, according to Rimla Akhtar, the first Muslim woman on the Football Association council, and chair of the UKs Muslim Womens Sports Foundation. Modest sports gear and sports hijabs are nothing new, but to have something from such a giant as Nike is significant.
Akhtar, who has been competing since her teens, finds the sharp spotlight on Muslim women over the past few years to be both positive and negative. Its encouraging to see Muslim women recognised, but much of this advertising pushes the narrative of breaking stereotypes, she says. I look forward to a time when we can normalise Muslim women in sports, not constantly make them a political or social statement.
Nabiilabee has been a blogger for seven years, and is among the pioneers of modest fashion. She started her eponymous clothing brand for anyone looking for something modest, but still fun and quirky. The 21-year-old belongs to the Mipster generation (Muslim hipster), which comprises urban, tech-savvy millennials who are confident in their faith and fashion choices.
Hijabi bloggers and influencers werent really being seen by advertisers or companies, so we had to create a platform which united other Muslim women who were facing fashion dilemmas, she says. The problem still exists today; however, there is a lot more choice and those women who were once isolated by the high street have launched their own collections, like Arabian Nites, Aab and Verona Collection and my own Nabiilabee.
So does this mean women who want stylish modest wear are finally being catered for? The answer, for Nabiilabee, is mixed. She feels that while recent moves are encouraging, there is still a long way to go in penetrating the high street and treating Muslim female shoppers as a sought-after commodity.
Its important that brands and marketing campaigns try to have an authentic conversation with this audience rather than simply sticking a modest sticker on everything and hoping it will sell, she says.

8 Trends to Buy Into Now Before They’re Everywhere

8 Trends to Buy Into Now Before They’re Everywhere
The editorial team at Man Repeller has been engaging in numerous discussions lately about whether trends actually exist anymore. Personally, I think that even though they don’t exist in the same capacity they did 70 years ago when every woman essentially wore the same dress silhouette, there are still distinctive style “movements” that permeate our popular consciousness, whether it’s a micro-trend like bucket hats or a broader aesthetic commotion like milkmaid-core.
There is also still an oceanic push and pull to the fashion industry in general, a rushing tide of collective participation that makes certain stylistic choices appear more ubiquitous over a period of time and others less so in comparison. From an observational standpoint, I’ve always been interested in how each season of New York Fashion Week dictates these tides, ushering in a new group of trends-in-the-making  — not to displace the old ones, necessarily, because the fact remains that people can and should always wear what they want to wear regardless of the zeitgeist, but nudging them to the forefront in a definitive way.
To that end, I’ve noted down seven significant emerging trends from New York Fashion Week, as well as the specific trends from last season that are likely to takeover our Instagram feeds. Consider the below rundown a crystal ball of sorts for predicting what you should buy into to stay ahead of the curve, if you’re into that kind of thing.
I’m far from being done with wearing milkmaid-inspired attire, but I’m also sniffing out what the next dress phenomenon will be and based on the past week’s shows it seems sheer is IT.

A Definitive Ranking Of 2000s Rom Coms
Although people who peaked in high school like to act poetic about how great the 2000s were, they werent actually any better than the present day. I mean, it was a time when Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake wore matching denim outfits in public and nobody carted them off to an insane asylum.
But Im prepared to make a concession on two points: 1) At least we werent under the administration of a sentient slime mold wearing a bad wig. 2) The 2000s were a golden age for romantic comedies, mostly thanks to Judy Greers tireless efforts to play every heroines best friend. Plus, only like half the jokes were sexist, and there was about an 80% chance pre-pretentious Matthew McConaughey would show up.
Obviously, a betch has to be picky about her rom-comssome are shitty in a good way, but others are best avoided in case someone catches you watching them. To guide your Netflix viewings, here’s a totally objective list of 00s rom coms. If you disagree, which Im sure everyone will, please note that Im not actually forcing you to watch these movies; Im just saying that if you regularly watch any of the bottom five, you have terrible taste.
14.
is considered a modern classic by two groups of people. 1) men in their late 20s with a crush on Natalie Portman and a thriving quarter-life crisis and 2) 8th graders in 2004 under the assumption that any movie that features a Shins track in its soundtrack is automatically deep. To everyone else, its a film about self-absorbed white people whining about their lives until theyre magically fixed by the power of mixtapes. There are approximately a zillion issues with this film, beginning with Zach Braffs complete lack of expression and ending with the fact that you cant cure real depression by listening to The Shins, no matter how clearly superior the soundtrack is to anything else in this film. Worst of all, though, is the fact that Natalie Portman played a manic pixie dream girl so obnoxious I still dream about strangling her character sometimes. Padme deserves so much better.
13.
Im not saying romantic comedies have to make much sense, but s plot is mystifying. Matthew McConaugheys parents are tired of him living at home, so they call in a lady high class escort (Sarah Jessica Parker) whose job is literally seducing men into moving out of their parents basements and unceremoniously dumping them. Because that’s plausible, and not at all fucked up to force your son to fall in love with someone you’re paying. Ridiculous premise aside, you know a movie is terrible when famed nicegirl Zooey Deschanel is the best thing about it.
12. Monster-in-Law
In case you missed this one, and for your sake I hope you did, is about Jane Fonda inexplicably being terrible to Jennifer Lopez, who walks a lot of dogs and is engaged to Fondas son. That right there should tell you all you need to knowI cannot think of one movie that JLo was in that was anything above mild torture, and we’re supposed to root for her character why, exactly? If my son was engaged to a full-time dog walker you can best believe I’d do everything short of actual murder to put a stop to that bullshit.
11.
Im told some people love this movie, but Jesus fucking Christ, is it possible for the two main characters to be any more appalling? Here you have two assholes manipulating the shit out of each other and just generally acting psychotic, all to win a stupid bet with their friends. They really should call it “How To Act Like A Psychopath And Lose Your Dignity.”
10.
Not gonna lie, I fucking adored when I was an impressionable preteen. It had time travel! Mark Ruffalo! A makeover scene! Years later, the movie is still fun to watch, even if it is way too obsessed with the 80s, but the jokes are more cute than funny. Also, why would anyone allow their 13-year-old child to go to a sleepover hosted by a 30-year-old? That is … questionable to say the least. Not to mention Jennifer Garner’s character does a reverse transformation from a betch into a nicegirl and dumps her hot pro bf in favor of her formerly fat friend. Blah blah, true love, I don’t give a fuck. Tenth.
9.
is close to being wrapped in cutesy narration, but it’s far superior. For one thing, it reintroduced the world to Joseph Gordon-Levitts dimples. For another, it manages to be a fairly realistic depiction of a shitty millennial relationship without being super fucking depressing. But thats also kind of the problemrom coms arent supposed to be realistic, theyre supposed to be clich and feel-good, and I don’t care what you say, Summer is a thot. I have literally stayed up at night mapping how she could have possibly met someone worthy of engagement a mere 118 days after she broke up with Tom, and only six days after attending a wedding as his guest (yes I did the mathI told you; this movie keeps me up at night). No matter how you slice it, she had to have cheated on somebody.
8.
Full disclosure: As a Southern betch, Im stoked that takes place right next door. (Dear Hollywood: An entire country exists between New York and LA.) But even though it features Patrick Dempsey as the other man, Josh Lucas with a dreamy Southern accent, and Reese Witherspoon, there are still some issues. Mainly, WTF WERE YOU THINKING, MELANIE? Did you really dump your future president fianc for your secret redneck husband just so “the first boy you kissed could also be your last”? I’ve heard of trying to keep your number down, but damn if this isn’t some delusional shit.
7.
Everyone on planet Earth can relate to having a batshit crazy family, and thats exactly what makes appealing. The two leads are fine, considering they’re not Kate Hudson or Matthew McConaughey, but the extended family is everyones favorite part of the movie. Honestly the most memorable moment to come out of this movie is the “put some Windex on it”pretty good deal for Windex, not so much for the people who actually starred in the movie. However, it does get points for the memorable line: “The man may be the head of the household, but the woman is the neck and she can turn the head any way she pleases.”
6.
The plot is pretty flimsy (a Canadian businesswoman has to marry her assistant to avoid deportation) but everyone loves a story where the couple starts out hating each other and eventually falls in love. The cast is what makes this movie pure rom com gold: Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, and Betty fucking White, who gifted us with the infamous Native American dance scene. Basically, it’s predictable but ridiculous, making it better than some of the other garbage movies on this list.
5.
Admittedly, is probably to blame for some of the chubby man-child/beautiful, svelte woman couplings we see in the media that give men unrealistic beauty expectations (of the types of women they can expect to date), otherwise known as The Beyonc/Jay Z Phenomenon. But whatevs. Its a good movie. Seth Rogen has that whole dad bod thing going onapparently a thing some people are intoand Katherine Heigl was at the top of her rom com game before she pissed off the entire cast of .is actually hilarious, which is enough to make up for the fact that Katherine Heigl appears in it.
4.
Even aside from my undeniable crush on youthful Sandra Bullock, is a quintessential early-2000s romantic comedy. Allow me to explain. 1) It stars an ambitious career woman who dont need no man. 2) But she kind of wants one anyway, and everyone realizes what a catch she is when she puts on lipstick and a dress. 3) Did I mention its plot is literally an extended makeover scene as Bullock goes from bad ass FBI agent to bad ass beauty pageant contestant? I rest my case. Add in some cute female friendships and a scene in which Bullock teaches us how to fend off an attacker, and its basically required viewing every year.
3.
You had to know was going to make the list despite this amazing take-down article of why it’s actually terrible. With approximately a bajillion storylines going on, its hard not to find one you like and get invested, and it doesnt hurt that the film features every well-known British actor under the sun. Im not sure how the movie manages to juggle all the different plots without being confusing and/or boring, but Im not gonna question it. However, this shit is TOO FUCKING LONG. If I have to pop an Adderall just to make it through a damn movie (which I do), you need to send your editors back to the drawing board.
2.
is the perfect example of a rom com thats super clich in theory, but in practice, its so fucking heartwarming it doesnt even matter (ugh). Katherine Heigl plays ultimate nicegirl Jane (in case the fact that her name is “Jane” wasn’t enough of a clue), whos been part of 27 weddings and miraculously hasnt gone broke from buying all the bridesmaid dresses. The dudes are pretty forgettable, but Janes psychotic sister and slutty best friend totally steal the spotlight, elevating the film to truly betchy heights.
P.S. For once, James Marsden plays the leading man, so his preternaturally perfect face gets more screen time, #bless.
1.
Bridget Joness Diary is the ultimate feel-good movie, as in its literally impossible to watch it without feeling your icy soul thaw ever so slightly at the end. The titular character starts out fat, single, and past the age of 30, so basically our worst nightmare. By the end, though, she manages to bang Hugh Grant and Colin Firth, land a better job, and become a self-described wanton sex goddess. If those arent your life goals, you clearly need to start your own self-help journey.
