BoA’s outfit: white tube top, pintuck wide pants, straight hair - Audrey Hepburn vibes? (x)

80% of the time, they didn’t follow the script/predetermined flow, so BoA kept skipping over the script/her cue cards (x)

SHINee’s ‘Don’t Call Me’ was supposed to go to GOT the Beat after BoA turned it down (x)

BoA said that Taemin looks more like a baby now even though he just came back from the military (x)

BoA and Minho talked about the exercise equipment that he bought for the SM building. He said he thought that there would be people who found it useful. BoA said that he’s probably the only one who’d use it (x) [Fact check: BoA has, in fact, used one of the new exercise machines and posted about it on her IG story] 

BoA did a dance challenge with SHINee! Taemin said that out of all the people he knew, BoA was the fastest at picking up new choreography. Key said that BoA was faster than even he was, and Taemin told him that he should work harder (x, x, x)

Minho and Key started bickering. BoA asked them when they would stop fighting and said that they looked like a married couple with a child (Taemin) (x)

BoA and Taemin’s first meeting post-enlistment was at a hospital for tattoo removal. He was parked beside her at the parking lot. (x)

BoA said that she really liked ‘Hard’ and that she personally wants to do a song with that kind of hip-hop style too (x)

Key said that he thought BoA’s impression of him during her K-909 interview with Minho was on-point and hilarious, so Minho told him to imitate BoA. Key’s impression of her was really good; he said that a key point to a BoA impression is her soprano laugh (x)

Key said that he understood right away why BoA rejected ‘Don’t Call Me’ - because the progression of the song wasn’t her style at all. Taemin said he didn’t understand it because it seemed like a song that suited her. BoA said this was the difference between someone who knew her off work and someone who doesn’t (x, x)

SNSD Tiffany gave BoA a 90-degree bow (x)

Tiffany was very sweet - she was encouraging Jumpings to cheer for BoA/wave their lightsticks + encouraging the audience to cheer for Logan Floyd (x)

The [909] writers asked Suho if he had anything he wanted to tell BoA, he said that they should go drinking together sometime. (x)

Would it be possible sum up your review about your perspectives on today's gig?

Is this your first time attending the monkeys show? Is he really handsome in person?

what do you think of the his voice, setlist, stage design etc

// First things first. He immediately ditched the grandfather scarf and played the show in an open collared shirt and suit jacket. I liked the setlist. I thought it was a good mixture of their bigger hits, fan favorites and also a good few new ones (though my memory sucks and I couldn't tell you the complete list). I really loved Body Paint live and how Alex seemed to enjoy rocking to it on his guitar. I had a standing room ticket and was relatively front and center, which was nice but also kind of annoying since everyone was always filming (myself included 😅) so my videos will mostly consist of arms and a sea of phones.😄 It was my first Monkeys show and I haven't really seen many live videos so I don't have many points of reference, but I liked his energy, his voice and his strange little dance moves.😄 The stage design is nothing special, there's not much going on, but at least it doesn't distract from the band, though I have to admit that I haven't paid much attention to the other guys on stage. Jaime for example was almost always hidden behind some stranger's head and I couldn't be bothered to try to look for him. Nick on the other hand was right in front of me and he is quite the fine specimen. Yes, Alex is handsome, even though he's not really my type, but there was a moment at the end of, I think it was Suck It And See, when he smiled because all where singing along (?) and damn, that smile...

😍😍😍

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry

The jury summons arrives on a Friday.

“You have to get yourself disqualified,” Alex says.

Kara frowns. “What about my civic duty?”

Her sister ignores her. She’s on her phone, already finding her an out. “Your occupation should qualify you for an exemption,” she discovers. “It says here, if you’re full-time military, or a firefighter, or a cop—”

Kara holds the letter up for Alex to read. “They didn’t summon Supergirl,” she says. “They summoned Kara Danvers, freelance food critic and full-time reporter.”

-

In which no one escapes jury duty, not even superheroes and celebrity CEOs, and when Kara Danvers and Lena Luthor end up in sequestration, well—the defense submits that there's more than one type of civic service.

so was that legitimately fake outrage at Watcher being "greedy capitalists" that people are now gonna go watch the try guys who are doing the exact same thing?? where's the outrage at their wealth and how they spend their money? why does Keith get people just watching him eat at expensive restaurants, but it's terrible seeing Steven go to expensive restaurants to eat food? it's got nothing to do with "the try guys did it better!!!" it's the fact that you got so outraged because of how much the economy is in shambles and people can barely afford food, let alone another streaming service, and now suddenly it's a great thing seeing the try guys be able to improve their situation with one!! I thought the whole point was that we didn't need another one!! what is it???

it's just obvious that they've both done similar things, but people are taking more issue with the creators of colour for daring to grow and move forward. EVEN AFTER THEY ALTERED THINGS AND GENUINELY APOLOGISED even whilst being fucking eviscerated online. and instead of being helped and understood by their white friends, they get fucking shaded by their friends with a sofa joke and "not to name names" bullshit

what is it with people of colour being left in the dirt by their white friends and/or costars???

BoA’s setlist (x): Uhm Jung Hwa’s ‘Invitation’ (Cover) -They added a dance break! Short VCR Interview + Girls on Top No. 1 (Encore)

Kim Wansun covered BoA’s ‘Only One,’ with TBZ’s Hyunjae as her dance partner (x)

According to fans, the highlight of the ment was BoA doing impersonations of her unnies because she was really good at it 😂 (x)

BoA was asked why she has kept the sexy side of herself hidden until then. She replied that it wasn’t that she was purposely hiding it; she was just focused on doing ‘stronger,’ intense dances for SMP-style (SM Production) songs. (x)

BoA revealed that she didn’t ask to perform ‘Invitation.’ The urangdan unnies convinced her to do it, despite her protesting that she didn’t think she could pull off being sexy. BoA then imitated Kim Wansun telling her, “Darling, no, you’re sexy.” (x)

To prepare for her ‘Invitation’ stage, BoA said that she watched the original music video more than 50 times to the point that Uhm Jung Hwa kept showing up in her YouTube recommendation feed. She looked up all of UJH’s ‘Invitation’ performances as well, but since she didn’t often perform the 2nd verse, she had to do new choreography for that part. (x)

BoA said that the most times she’s been called a baby since her debut was with the urangdan unnies. She complained that they kept calling her the baby (She imitated the urangdan unnies saying, “Baby~~ Where’s Baby BoA~?”): “But I’m not a baby!!! The real maknae [Hwasa] is 10 years younger than me!!! But you keep calling me the baby!!!” (x)

BoA performed at an all-girls school the day before the concert. Some of the students enjoyed the performance so much that they came to see her during the concert

After BoA complained about being called a baby, the MC then asked, “Shall we call you baby then?” The audience then screamed “Baby!!!” at her. (x)

I actually refuse to watch reviews of Ninjago that come from non-fans, including YouTubers I enjoy, because I'll listen to one of my tumblr mutuals bitch about some aspect of the show they think is shit for HOURS but I'd rather walk a mile over Legos barefoot than listen to some OUTSIDER judge my beloved kid's show from 2011
