November 5, 2024

When the Disney Afternoon premiered in 1990, kids tossed their backpacks aside to watch their favorite Disney television characters. Unlike with feature films, these stars had a new adventure every weekday, and their audience journeyed with them on a daily basis. Throughout the '80s and '90s, Disney raised the bar with a lineup of innovative, high-quality television animation. The characters were endearing, the writing was clever, and the art was exceptional. Those who grew up with these characters have continued their love affairs for shows like Darkwing Duck, Gargoyles, TaleSpin, and the irrepressibly beloved DuckTales, deep into adulthood. For the first time, learn the history of the Disney Afternoon shows, read interviews from the creative teams, and revel in rare, behind-the-scenes artwork, plus get the full making of story of the modern-day DuckTales series and the meta-driven Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers film and its legacy connections to the past for a new generation of fans.

Approximately November 22, 2022 (filmed), November 27, 2022 (released):

Jungkook arrives back (on Nov 21 around 10pm) from opening the World Cup in Qatar (personally chosen to headline, as confirmed by FIFA and CEO of Katara Studios, Ahmed Al Baker). When he returns, he meets with Tae to film them performing the “Run BTS” challenge in the early morning hours (Jungkook is wearing an adorable hair band that is either the same, or similar, to the one he sported on his second visit to Qatar, and based on lighting, it appears to be closer to sunrise).

(First screenshot was brightened up to better see Taekook, second screenshot is directly from the Tik Tok upload, which better shows how it’s closer to sunrise)

Hairpiece he wore in Qatar for reference -

As seen in the hashtag captions, this was directed by Tae and edited by Jungkook. This hashtag is not noted in the other members’ videos so it implies only Taekook were there, filming themselves, without staff.

Screenshots of the fun edits -

Because this is all over the timeline, by multiple people on public accounts, I’ll go ahead and share that it was filmed at the expensive (20M won a night) Incheon Paradise City Grand Deluxe Pool villa (which is only 2KM from the airport). (I also think Taekook expected someone to sleuth and find out the info, as the long standing joke about ARMY being FBI is a common and consistent thing that has happened over the years. This is a hotel many celebrities vacation at. If Taekook didn’t want the location known they wouldn’t have filmed in such a distinct spot) it’s definitely a statement of their closeness that they spent time here at such an expensive and private place directly after Jungkook landed.

An article about the show, Single’s inferno, was published. Contestants have the ability to stay at Paradise Hotel. The article highlighted some of the rooms available and the luxuries in these rooms, as well as amenities, things to do, and restaurants to eat at in the hotel. They also listed some celebrities that have stayed at Paradise Hotel. Tae and Jk were mentioned as guests of the hotel.

hi 👀 i was the kpop album anon. if ur willing to share i would love to see/hear about ur list! i love when people talk about their albums/interests/etc!

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII hehe <3 this is going to be a bit long i'm sorry in advance ... but I started buying kpop albums in like. my last year of middle school maybe?? back when i was still living in belgium (and those are still at my parents' house with my later purchases when we moved to spain). so i don't have my full collection here!! i'll still mention the full one just bc i can and bc some of my personal favourites are back there and not with me rn, but!!

my criteria for buying albums changed a lot with time i think!! nowadays i mainly buy albums if i really like the way it looks (the packaging) and/or when i know i will enjoy the photobook (mostly if i really loved the concept pics for a given version!) . or if i Really want some of the inclusions (i'm currently debating buying the upcoming nmixx album because im absolutely in love with the silly little fluffy keychain guy that comes with the ? limited edition i think...) . i used to often buy any album of a group i was REALLY into (and thus my skz collection despite not really being into their music as much anymore, for example), though, or albums that i really liked from a musical standpoint (which is why i am...the owner of a jay park album....................,)

what's also interesting to mention is that before i ever started buying kpop albums i WAS buying jpop albums, actually!! my collection of those isn't as huge (in part bc they're way more expensive, and in part because i pretty much stopped getting those soon after getting into kpop). so. if u'll allow me. i'll add these to this post as well.... they're still v important to me </3

now i wanna be a little annoying and talk about them sorry . first of all, currently on display are these: (as well as my cravity photobook and one of my victon the future is now albums on other shelves).

unsure how to talk about every album individually without being super annoying so. being annoying will have to do. but soooo . starting with what i have Here at my place.

my entire skz collection is currently in a box, but i am you was my first album purchase after i moved here, from my trusty kpop store (musica i love u). i really, really love the way its cover looks!!! most skz photobooks are varying from boring to ugly (so do the packagings, since go live)(it all started going downhill with god's menu i'm sorry to be saying this but it's true), but i quite like this one and the levanter one!!! and the mixtape album is also cute in a way!

i also really like the nostalgia album (and so does my mom, btw, which i can't say about most of my photobooks sadly). the way the box is cut also made it perfect to help me display one postcard at a time on my display shelf for a while lol also i really love this album from a musical standpoint! i remember looping it a lot in my compsci labs . . . the other two victon albums i pre-ordered after seeing the concept pictures . . . they were princes for me..... if there's one thing you have to know about me it's that i will always be insane about a prince/royalty/knight concept. also they had like pc-sized little ?? mirrors?? idk but that's rlly cute it's hanging off my bookshelf rn. and i really like my fame album as well because....well i like swoo. and the photocards were really cute!!!!

the ace album i absolutely LOVE from a visual standpoint it's SO pretty (my mom doesn't understand its beauty sadly). it's so pretty it will always be on display idc i love it... it's also very thin and while that's sad (i could take 238472983749823 more of those pictures) it also helps it maintain a very . . . . fancy look i think

the forest fairy concept for the cravity s2 album that i got is close enough to the royalty concept and thus it was SO for me... it rlly reminds me of lovelyz's a new trilogy photobook and that's been my favourite photobook (that i had) for a LONG long long time like.... i really love is SO much. and this vity one really compares to it i love it just as much!!! and thus i had to have it. well, that, and also i have had this album looped for like most of the year it came out in? like i listened to it an abnormal amount. like. a worrying amount. season 3 i pre-ordered and i'm not as satisfied with it visually (i don't rlly like it to be honest) but it has call my name and thus i had to have it also. i've been Obsessed with call my name since the prologue video for this album was released and That is why i pre-ordered it despite not liking any concept pictures it was just THAT important... call my name i love you

border: carnival!!! this one is very important to me on a personal level... both visually and musically. drunk-dazed is still so insane i still don't know what kind of drug they put in it but dear god. and i love mixed up a whole lot too... visually, the box is really pretty despite being simple like. it just fits anywhere really. makes a little statement... there's like. not MUCH to it but it's not ugly like most skz boxes these days, for example. and the photobook is so......important to me i love it so bad i don't get bored of it ever. i just love this concept so much... (surprisingly way more than the prince concept, which u might or might not have noticed... i have Not bought. i didn't like it as much. the One prince concept that i didn't rlly vibe with as much). the scylla ver. of dimension: dilemma is much more my style!! and thus. i really love that one a lot as well <3 odysseus ver. i don't like as much unfortunately but that was a gamble on my part in the first place (i mostly just trusted the blurred gradients on the album preview pictures for this one bc it looked pretty. and well. sunset colours wise it still does. the concept itself just doesn't do it for me). one thing about enhypen is that when they decide to have beautiful photbooks, they WILL have BEAUTIFUL photobooks. the half ver of dark blood i so absolutely beautiful . the other thing you need to know about me is that i go insane about water shots (in water photoshoots and like .... pool scenes in mvs like. txt run away or &team under the skin). this one was just so for me it's insane. also the outer cover for this one is a really beautiful colour it's like... navy... it's so pretty . additional fact is that the group photocards from enhypen albums are some of my fave photocards they're so cute

one thing about hybe is they will release albums that i will want to own. as you could see on my list one day i just went on a full txt spree like i went absolutely insane at the store like idk what possessed me but... i mean i don't regret it. i love these albums to my core. for tdc: magic, it's about the photobook - first of all the photobook is in the format of like. a spiral notebook abt i find that SO cute (and also practical in a way)(although i would hate if that was the default for photobooks, just to be clear). but like . it's just. idk how to describe it... it's Magical?? the darkness the glitter it's so...beautiful.... i love it so much.... the eternity ones are like. little diaries and that's ABSOLUTELY adorable??? i mostly like the version with the.... magical lullaby concept as i like to call it (there's beds there's stars there's . purple and there's . vibes), but since the diary idea is so cute i kinda just caved in and got both... and then comes freeze which i think i preordered? all three versions because all the concept pictures were just so good. and i don't regret this choice at all even today i don't know which version i would choose if i could buy only one. these photobooks are absolutely. beautiful...

my tbz reveal album is one of my fave albums actually!!! i love it a lot musically, but i love it just as much aesthetically... it kinda looks... like a fancy book?? which is just so cool and it's really nice to the touch also (under the initial outer box)... and another one of the VERY rare photobooks that my mom likes. i was honestly surprised at how much she actually liked this one sdkjjksdbk she got out her phone n all... but that's valid it's a really nice photobook. the chase one i like way less, but it's quite different? quite creative i would say!! and i really liked the concept for this version (no regrets once again) !! the chanhee postcard i got from it has always been on display on my shelf he's watching over me (<- insane woman speaking)

my itzy album!!!! bought it a while after it released so i already knew i LOVED the album musically i think i like every single song on it to a degree?? and it turned out to be SO pretty as well... i had an amazing time looking through it after i got home (i stopped by the store minutes before it closed after hanging out with uni friends in the area bc i happened to check my email and see that i could pick my order up kjndkjbdwnjws) not only the photos/concept themselves but just. the entire design of this photobook is so nice it's almost shocking it's coming from jype i was sitting like wtf jype u CAN make pretty albums??? insane. i also love the photocards i got from it!!

wei's identity: action album is another important one... those are my fancy little guys!!! the inclusions were really cute and i really like ... well wei in general, but also bye bye bye is SO good and i like the rest of this album a fair amount, and. most importantly. fancy concept. for me. great. so for me. SO for me.... <3 meanwhile the kingdom albums were a bit more of a caprice because i was getting into kingdom at the time. they're a little... clumsy, i'd say, in the way they're...designed?? but they remain really nice mainly because that's just. a big royalty concept . for me . FOR ME ... once again, not a purchase that i regret!!

it's surprising that fml is the first svt album that i bought since i moved, but what's even more surprising is . the reason i bought it. it's quite embarrassing actually . i was seeing the previews for the deluxe ver. and i noticed that there was . a set of photocards IN the super mv (2nd half) outfits which meant. jeonghan with that hairpin . and once i processed that information my hands acted on their own . um,

<my jini album3 i love jini's album so so so so much... she was my favourite in nmixx back when she was still a member n honestly the only one i rlly knew like. i knew a few of the other members' names but cldn't always recognize their faces n stuff . but my jini ... that's my performer daughter.... she's such a talented performer it's insane. and i was quite worried about her solo debut because... that's easy to screw up ESPECIALLY when expectations are high and. mine couldn't be anything but high because i do think she's insanely talented, and because the title of this album invokes such a strong imagery... and in the biggest plot twist of the year she even exceeded my expectations and released an album that was so for me. i love all the songs SO much i don't think words are enough to express how much i love this album... and when i looked at the concept pictures (a bit after the album was released, actually), i decided i really wanted to buy it... honestly i wanted both versions but i couldn't justify buying both, financially, at the time so.... i'm still waiting for an occasion to buy the pink version <//3 but i am very happy with the version i have as well!!! very proud to have it. and if you haven't checked my jini out yet, you should!!!!!

and finally. i actually didn't think i would buy the zb1 album - i don't really like it musically. i can't remember the exact reason i decided to buy it after all, maybe it was because i DID like the shade ver concept pictures quite a lot? but either way i'm SO glad to have bought it because.... i think it's currently my favourite physical album that i own... it's absolutely gorgeous. in every single way. in its entirety. it's just. beautiful. i encourage you to watch an unboxing video of it or smth because it's . genuinely so beautiful.

my sadame album was actually one that my aunt bought for me because i saw it in a bookstore we went to together and thought rlly hard about whether i wanted it or not.... i was mostly looking forward to the photocard but i got The One Photocard i absolutly did not want . but oh well. meanwhile!! my moonrise album was actually a gift i got from my best friend back in brussels!! which was really cute of her it was SO cute :< we also bought our al1 albums together <3 kissie for aly!! and as for the five albums i got from my bestie... she's been holding them for me for YEARS kkjsdjkndcb but i finally flew over to the states to see her this summer and she somehow managed to cram them into my luggage as i was leaving... and im so vewy grateful for these because i lob them all... i didn't even know that she had a hotshot album to give me but it's an album that i really love (musically) and turns out it's SO pretty also??? it looks quite book-ish, similar to tbz reveal (amd theyre both red also...) which i really love!

another photobook that i REALLY love is the one from my taeyeon's my voice album!! it's beautiful i love flowery concepts... (also really love that album musically a whole lot). was my favourite for a long time visually alongside the lovelyz's one that i mentioned earlier!

musically, got7's turbulence was my favourite album for quite a while, actually... i don't think i can say it and mean it nowadays anymore, but back when it was a relatively new album it was one that i really loved listening to.

other stories include. me constantly forgetting that i own a shinee album. the fact that i managed to own the pristin album (bought it at a convention) but they didn't have the version i wanted (elastin) anymore and i still really want that version... hopefully i can get it one day. not that i dislike this one i'm just glad i have something to remind me they were real..... the fact that i own a jay park album because at one point in my life i was going to kpop dance classes and everyone really liked his music and i started rlly vibing with it for a while to the point of buying. this album. and me hunting for gfriend's snowflake for a long while before i finally managed to buy it (kpop stores in brussels are very. different from the ones in paris. it was not an easy feat)

Guess what I managed to track down in my hometown 💜💜💜💜

With the map of the soul 7 -The Journey- it came with adorable photo of J-hope look at this cutie.

And with BTS, The Best I got two photos of the golden Maknae Jungkook! Blonde JK is just *chef kisses* (I love all hair colours on JK specially Black hair)

Also I apologise for the light on the photos it's my bedroom light; now I need a pocket protector for these photos and a probably a frame for the poster in the BE deluxe edition do you guys wanna see the things or no?

A DC Reading List!

Since I started getting back into comics last year I've built quite a collection already! With the DC TPBs & Omnibuses I own I've enough to get a decent view of how DC has changed from the Golden Age (William Marston) to their Future State (Cloonan-&-Conrad). I'm beginning to read DC "from the start to now" & would love any Criticisms or Additions to my reading list!

bts have announced they're putting their group activities on hiatus to focus on their solo stuff and I would've never expected how happy I'd be about it

even two years ago I'd want them to continue as a group, because group dynamics and the sense of Fun&Friendship is one of the main reasons why people get so hooked on K-pop, i think. but the previous two years have been absolutely abysmal not only for their music but also their, idk how to put it, reputation as musicians?

evolution of style is one thing, but for a group that started as and has roots in hip-hop, being known worldwide for boppy shallow little songies about having fun and taking pics with president biden must be... weird. they no longer rap about social issues and young people's opinions, and it's not only because it's been a good while since they could call themselves "relatable". now they're just... smooth, bright, polite. again, they couldn't release a song like war of hormone right now, because people would probably burn them at the stake. as a group, they can't speak their own mind anymore, and the music they release is more about "saying thank you to their fans" rather than having an actual concept -- musically, thematically, plot-wise, so on.

even BE, an album they contributed to the most out of all their previous albums, photoshoots and so on included, was known for this, and the fact that it was "a gift to cheer people up during these difficult times"* rather than because it was a part of a story, or had an interesting concept, aesthetic or anything. "we did it ourselves just for you!" okay, but I'm not your mom, I don't need a card to put on the fridge.

so I'm actually ecstatic that they're going to release solo stuff, because it'd be the closest, in its core, to earlier bts albums and songs. the credits wouldnt be so fucking long (at least I hope so.), it would be about something, it would come from them directly.

I HOPE, DEARLY, that "solo work" means mixtapes, and not solo albums with exclusive deluxe ahem standard editions going for 70 us fucking dollars, although it's fucking bighit so I know they're going to try to squeeze something out of it. I hope the lads will protest, though, and I kind of hope the break is because they were tired of it all.

apparently hoseok is going to do something from his new mixtape on some American festival, which, ???, but I'm tentatively excited for the music, at least

[kookieswan]

First off, congratulations on getting the compact edition! 😁 💜 Secondly, after reading the English lyrics to Run BTS, it's definitely a Handlebars Gang anthem. 🤩

Thank you! I got the deluxe last night and decided that I needed more lmaooooo.

It is! Maybe I should make a playlist for some more of my series ❤️

****bit of advice for fourth wing fans - they're only making so many copies of the special edition of both iron flame and the reprinted fancy matching edition of the first book

so if you're online ordering it now, you may be waiting a while to get it, but there *will* be midnight release parties on the 6th of november and you could nab both upon the instant of release!

BTS’s J-Hope Is Smart To Keep The Content Coming As He’s On Musical Hiatus [Forbes]

In the middle of April this year, BTS member J-Hope officially began his enlistment into the South Korean military—a mandatory rite of passage for all men in the country of a certain age. While the group's singers were granted a government-sanctioned extension, the fact remains that military service interrupts the careers of many musicians, often leading to hiatuses that could potentially harm their standing in the industry.

In an era where fans demand a constant stream of content, J-Hope has devised a savvy strategy to keep his followers engaged and content during his absence.

As J-Hope dedicates himself to fulfilling his military duties, he is still delivering new songs and versions of his hits for his fans to devour while he’s gone. Recently, his team unveiled plans for an expanded edition of his latest album, Jack in the Box. This upgraded version, aptly titled the Hope Edition, arrives about a year after the original release. What makes this version special is its physical availability, a move that is likely to delight his dedicated fanbase.

In K-pop, fervent supporters have consistently demonstrated their unwavering dedication to their favorite groups and singers by enthusiastically purchasing new EPs and albums in physical formats. With the Hope Edition of Jack in the Box, fans can once again express their loyalty and support by adding this tangible product to their collections. Previously, Jack in the Box had only been available to buy digitally or stream.

The Hope Edition promises additional goodies for fans to relish, which is what makes it so timely and vital right now, as the musician behind it is busy elsewhere. Included in its tracklist are live recordings of select tracks from the original album, all taken from J-Hope's performances during his the Lollapalooza music festival. The deluxe set also includes previously unheard instrumentals of some of his new and popular tracks.

While these additions may not be the same as an entirely new album or even a single, they do serve as an enticing morsel to satiate fans's appetite for music during his absence.

As he’s busy in the military, J-Hope may have even more projects on the way as well, in addition to the expanded Jack in the Box. In an interview with fellow BTS member Suga, the BTS singer disclosed his involvement in a documentary titled Hope on the Street. This movie chronicles a global journey he embarked on, showcasing his passion for dance and connecting with individuals who share his love for the art form.

The documentary will be complemented by a soundtrack featuring several new tracks from the star. Although the release dates for the documentary and its accompanying album remain undisclosed, their potential arrival before J-Hope concludes his military service could seamlessly keep his schedule busy with music.

J-Hope's strategic approach to this military enlistment serves as an insightful lesson for musicians who anticipate inevitable breaks in their careers. His foresight led him to dedicate time and effort to create a stockpile of content, reading it all for release during periods when traditional work might be challenging.

This approach ensures that J-Hope remains an active and prominent figure, mitigating the impact of his hiatus and reducing the gaps between his official releases. It is a tactic that not only sustains his visibility but also positions him for potential success upon his return to the music industry when he’s done with the military, which will reportedly be in October 2024.
