Hi Goldy!

Do you know that Jimins part in Butter was cut from the transmission in Golden Disc Awards?

And apparently even footage of him dancing to the break dance was cut.

Here is a comparison:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CYeoklDJ3bd/?utm_medium=copy_link

The post above is also mentioning that this is not the first time his part gets cut, appart from lights getting cut during his performance and BH editors calling Jimin nicknames given by haters.

Idk if this is true or what are the reasons behind it so I am hoping you can shed some light in it.

I remember Jimin not flying with the other members and having to fly in another class or something going to LA.

But I also remember seeing something in your blog(maybe in the comments) that Jimin might have upset someone "from the high levels".

What do you think about all of this?

See if I go off people will say I'm victimizing him so I won't go off.

With Hybe I know Jimin does have a say in the output and input. We've seen him ask for retakes, examine the monitors and footage till he is satisfied with a take. He has agency and he is not playing a passive role in Hybe.

After all he is Male, rich and privileged. If hybe is not working for him he can always walk out they won't shoot him down.

He has independent counsel, managers and support systems working in his interests to make sure he gets the right exposure and resources needed to nurture and advance his career.

If all these people cannot point out to Hybe that Jimin's lightening is bad and must be improved, or that his wardrobe sucks, or that the direction the company is taking his career is wack then he needs to fire all of them and hire me cos I can definitely do a better job minus the simping and sexual harassment I'd submit him to.

I'm sure he has an exit clause somewhere in his contract for when Hybe fails to uphold their side of the agreement to push him support him and take him to the max.

What I can't take is a third party like Golden disk doing shit like this

Did Hybe not approve of the final footage to be broadcasted or what? And I fail to believe they didn't cross check that footage or perhaps edit it out themselves cos that interviewer from India mentioned how after she and the team had edited the interview they'd sent it to Hybe for approval and hybe asked them to take out certain parts of the interview she thought was harmless.

Hybe will let the gay slide but Good forbid we ask about their breakfast or Jimin's part in butter PTD concert.

What a mess.

Hybe needs to fire someone cos they certainly aren't doing their jobs well. The artists need to cuss them out more and threaten to leave the band and company cos they are not the helpless broke teenagers they were in 2013.

Sis they forgot to tell Jimin his own song was to be used in a Marvel movie. I don't expect much from them.

Won't lie they surely act like they have a problem with him sometimes. But I know Jimin is very nice to everyone. Personally I think that's a character flaw but whatever. I'm sure Jungkook will agree with his mini hearts and compliments to all and sundry- yall did great today, bows and claps and proceeds to hug them😐

I mean with how nice he is to them you'd think they would feel motivated to make sure he comes out pretty every take but no and be included and all. ungrateful brats.

What happened to the whole 'take care of me' schtick? Do they want him to suck their dicks before they do the jobs they are being paid to do? Send flowers to their door steps? Is it latent homophobia?

Lightening sound camera angles, yea sometimes they can be mean and petty and fuck you up if they have a problem with you. Your mic suddenly goes off in the middle of a performance, the lightening makes you look a zombie reject etc. Sometimes it's technical failure or someone being incompetent and lazy on the job.

Either way it's not good. It's not a good look on a company that prides itself on quality super advanced technological innovation. SHAME ON THEM.

I said JM might have upset someone higher up? Was it a Joke? What was the context of that conversation?

Pretty sure it's not the same context cos if someone higher up is pulling these strings whew that's abuse of office and power, a rather toxic work environment and JM needs to get out!

But I'm also not sure it's that deep. People are just being lazy and Golden disk is being an asshole.

Notes on Season 14- Part 1 (contains spoilers, are mostly complaints about Torres and Quinn, and are my personal opinions, don’t @ me)

Since Season 14 started rerunning in Australia on 9 October, I’ve decided to write down things I forgot or would like to emphasise upon:

Rogue

Torres being as cocky, smarmy, and insufferable as ever from the very first scene

Fornell staying at Gibbs’ house was the best part of the episode- his scenes are always awesome

Quinn being an asshole for many reasons, including the fact that she pretended like she didn’t remember Bishop from FLETC just to mess with her, and saying that there were good kinds of sociopaths

Torres willingly going off the grid and voluntarily entering into a fake, emotionally-manipulative relationship with a girl when it wasn’t the only option

Torres being incredibly rude to Vance and Gibbs, and complaining about consequences of being a federal agent when he knew full well what they would be

Quinn being a pushy dickhead, talking over people and interrupting them because she wanted to be the best

Quinn taking advantage of Fornell’s state and using poker to take all his money

WHY COULDN’T REEVES HAVE BEEN THE THIRD AGENT SO TORRES AND QUINN WOULD HAVE NEVER EXISTED AND CBS WOULD’VE SAVED HEAPS OF MONEY HIRING ONE MAIN CHARACTER THAT AUDIENCES ALREADY KNEW AND LOVED INSTEAD OF TWO NEW ANNOYING ONES

Being Bad

Torres’ picture of himself was the most self-obsessed thing ever, and refusing to put on his team jacket to accompany the team on a Friday case, when he wasn’t even meant to start until Monday so he had no reason to complain about doing something he didn’t want to do was annoying as

Jimmy’s reaction to meeting Torres and Quinn was adorable

Abby’s skull-and-rose-adorned bullhorn was the most Abby thing ever

Quinn being nosy about McGee’s private life and making him uncomfortable with her questions about him proposing to Delilah just made me hate her more

Torres automatically sitting down in a chair without even bothering to offer it to Gibbs, and Gibbs having to give him a look before he caught on was such a dick move

Jimmy accidentally saying he spent a night in jail in high school and awkwardly changing the subject was Peak Palmer

Bishop talking about being voted prom queen as a joke was so sad, and so was Gibbs talking about how he loved to paint but life got in the way

Quinn coming up with an idea for more work to figure out the killer, then complaining about having to do the work was so hypocritical and lazy

McGee directly addressing that Quinn disrupted their work environment, and her being proud instead of saying sorry or having the decency to look ashamed

Privileged Information

Torres being misogynistic right off the bat, objectifying ‘yoga ladies’ and leering at them

Quinn rudely interrupting conversations as per usual

I really love the little gap between Dr. Grace’s front teeth; she just wouldn’t look right without it

Quinn pointing out the blatantly obvious like she was the first one to think of it

Torres being insensitive about Bishop’s divorce and rudely dodging her questions when she was just trying to be nice

Torres leaving Bishop to do all the work after persisting the maintenance guy in the building to let him look at an apartment for himself, instead of doing it in his own time

Fornell making dinner for Gibbs was great

Abby birdsitting Kyle’s rescued parrot Juan was such an Abby thing to do, and Jimmy talking to him was so cute

Dr. Grace calling Fornell ‘J. Edgar’ was awesome

Quinn being chipper, happy and upbeat when insensitively talking about a vic that died just a few hours before

Juan the parrot talking when he wasn’t supposed to be with Abby anymore and Gibbs saying he sounded like Palmer was classic

The team should know by now that witnesses/suspects etc. that’re too eager to help with the case usually did it

Juan flying into the bullpen was great, and Bishop telling Dr. Grace about Rule #17 was too, especially when McGee broke it

Gibbs and Dr. Grace going to the basement and leaving Fornell upstairs was so funny

Love Boat

McGee talking about proposing to Delilah was the most adorable thing ever

Quinn showing off her experience and then complaining about it was so obnoxious and ungrateful

“Eleanor Bishop, can you please be my Frodo?” was the best

Jimmy calling Quinn a ‘very handsome woman’ was a definitely something I hadn’t heard before

McGee being super-awkward around Delilah was adorkable

Quinn making an insensitive joke about medication when there are people with actual mental health problems was really problematic

Torres complaining about being told to do a simple job that a kid could do was pathetic

Quinn angrily pointing out a problem that she was the cause of was peak hypocrisy

Arresting someone in front of their kid is a delicate situation, and Gibbs handled it really well

The elevator proposal was just as perfect as the original plan

Philly

McGee roasting Bishop so effortlessly was amazing

Quinn was such a dick to Francis, the poor guy

Torres was so misogynistic in saying that all women want to settle down, and wanting McGee to bail him out (and McGee shutting him down was great)

I love Reeves, his accent, and the way he talks (I just love everything about him, rip)

Quinn talking back to Gibbs and being insubordinate was just so rude

Bishop and Reeves’ greeting and hug was the cutest thing ever

Gibbs shutting down Torres’ complaining was great

Quinn using work time for personal time was so rude, and so was her dodging Bishop’s concerned questions

Bishop sitting especially close to Reeves and getting him a cheesesteak was super sweet, and the way they smiled at each other was so adorable

Reeves has a double-shoulder gun-holster like Tony’s

McGee pulling a Ziva and holding a gun in each hand was such a power move

Abby further shutting down Torres’ misogynistic attitude was even better

Bishop and Reeves were standing so close together, this was only the fourth time they spent time together and they were already so comfortable with each other

Torres not listening to McGee and Abby about the printers was plain rude

Quinn drinking on the job was so unprofessional and neglectful

Quinn is just so rude and unpleasant to everyone, I don’t know how the team was able to stand her for as long as they did

I loved how Bishop instantly backed Reeves up without hesitation or question

Quinn’s story about her old partner was sad, but it really was her fault due to her indulging in something personal until waiting until the job was over

Reeves is such a gentleman, and he and Bishop always worked so well together

The ‘you’re not my mate, she is’ was so sad and sweet at the same time

Torres giving Abby McGee’s printer instead of a new one was such a dick move, especially after she was so nice to him

Even from a purely objective standpoint, I still can’t believe the writers didn’t try to make Rishop a thing after this episode

Shell Game

Torres was being such a dick not wearing his vest Abby made for him, even just briefly

Quinn should’ve cut Francis loose the very first time they parted ways, instead of still stringing him along

That TSA agent is way too peppy

Torres is just so gross and over-sharing

Frank the dog kinda looks like Tony the dog from S2- I loved that episode

I love how Abby always goes all out for Halloween

Home Of The Brave

Abby, Bishop and McGee all trying to get Tony’s apartment was great

Bishop and McGee’s dreams about Gibbs were funny, but Quinn’s dream about Gibbs was the grossest, creepiest thing ever

Ducky quoting Hamlet was a very Ducky thing to do, and so was his rules about using his hat for nonsense

Bishop getting Medina to join her in terrible singing was awesome

McGee talking about Delilah was adorable

The veteran-deportation subplot was so important

Torres was such an asshole putting himself in the draw to get Tony’s apartment- he didn’t even know him

Pay to Play (technically Ep. 9, but the two episodes originally aired in the wrong order with continuity errors for some reason)

Reeves getting Bishop her favourite chips was the sweetest thing ever- how could the writers consistently put things like that in the script and not make Rishop a thing- I don’t get why they added Qasim into the mix, then have him die, then have Bishop and Torres become a thing

The congresswoman’s gun-control opinion was actually really interesting

The Torres/driving instructor “You okay, sir?” “I stare death in the face every day.” exchange was great

Quinn was being so nosy, invading Reeves’ privacy and spying on a classified file of his

The highlighting of how important a base is to a small town was really good

Torres’ attempts throughout the episode to one-up Reeves were stupid and juvenile, and just stemmed from his own jealousy and insecurity

Enemy Combatant (technically Ep. 8, but the two episodes originally aired in the wrong order with continuity errors for some reason)

Bishop’s brothers are the absolute best, ‘we just want to make sure he’s not a deranged serial killer or a vegan’ was hilarious and so was them taking over her desk and interacting with the team

Jimmy attempting to deep-fry a turkey and getting in an accident was Very Jimmy

Of course Torres was insensitive about faiths and religions

Even Torres thought Bishop and Reeves were together (and complimented his jawline in the process), and so did Quinn (and of course she was an asshole about it)

The way Reeves looked at Bishop, COME ON, and ‘that brain of yours is brilliant’ COME ON!!

Torres being surprised Bishop could speak another language, seriously?

Ugh, Qasim’s so cute, poor thing didn’t deserve to die (and especially the way he did), rip

‘Big, big fan of your sister’ AWWW

John shutting down the elevator (how’d he know how to do that?) and Rob translating British slang for the others was great

The ‘fake terrorist’ plotline is so important, and it really isn’t exaggerated at all- things like that happen every day

Bishop and Qasim were such a power couple at Gitmo, and him retelling his story was so touching and powerful

Reeves flipping the gun out of the yogi guy’s hands and pointing it at him was seriously cool

‘I broke rule 12’ and Gibbs supporting it was awesome

‘Thank God, we thought it was Gibbs’ was amazing

To reiterate one of my original points- I still don’t get why the writers made Qasim Bishop’s boyfriend, only to kill him off a few episodes later, especially because they’d already written multiple instances of her and Reeves being more than friends and could’ve just continued to explore that instead? Don’t get me wrong- Bishop and Qasim (Qishop? Basim?) were an adorable couple, but their relationship was a weird, unnecessary addition to the plot

The Tie That Binds

Emily continues to be one of the best characters ever, and Fornell continues to have some of the best reactions ever

Of course Quinn was being annoying about Gibbs’ rules

One thing NCIS always does well is casting, especially with actors playing younger versions of their older counterparts

Reeves talking smack is one of the best things ever

The word ‘twonk’ is rife with joke potential in the late 2010s

POW!-Nog sounds disgusting, no offence to Abby

Will Torres ever not be insensitive about dead people

The conversation between old and young Ducky was hilarious

Ducky and Mr. Rin were so cute

Emily’s termite plan was pretty ingenious and worked perfectly, and the scene between her and Fornell was adorable

Willoughby

Qishop/Basim were so cute ‘just wanted to walk Ellie to her desk’ AWW

The ‘exploding plane’ gag was a little cliche, but it did work pretty well

‘the one that looks like a sculpture’ was a pretty great description of Reeves, and Qasim saying he put Bishop as his emergency contact was SO CUTE

Bishop being worried about Reeves was so sweet

Quinn and Torres on a stakeout is a terrible idea, and so are the two of them

Torres taking extra donuts was such a dick move, and so was Quinn complaining about the window when it was her idea in the first place

‘thanks for the non-marinated steak’ was a great casual, Vance-esque burn

Reeves talking about his past and Bishop was so sad- I was nearly crying

I remember watching this scene and being so frustrated that Bishop didn’t pull Qasim to the ground with her, but the grip on each other’s hands was pretty light, plus the fact that he had bullets pushing him in the opposite direction meant that there wasn’t really any other outcome

Poor Bishop- just when she thought she’d found happiness

The scene with Bishop and Reeves was so sad

Again, I still don’t get why the writers made Bishop and Qasim a thing if they were just going to kill him off and have more-than-friends moments with Bishop and Reeves

Off the Grid

Torres trying to mooch off Quinn’s gift was such a dick move, but what else would you expect from him

Poor Bishop, her past year-and-a-bit has been terrible in terms of relationships

Quinn trying to talk to Bishop when she clearly wanted to be left in peace and quiet, seriously?

Quinn breaking Kelly’s plate, then roping in Abby to try and cover it up and thinking Gibbs wouldn’t notice was so naive and insensitive

McGee and Torres’ little setup was pretty slick, ngl

It’s amazing what facial hair can do to someone’s appearance

Gibbs believes in Abby with all his heart, aww

Nosy neighborhood

(or a reflection on the bittersweet nature of nostalgia)

What about a one shot about a tv show I never watched? It sounds fun doesn't it? Well it contains spoilers for the third Webisode of the walking dead called "The Oath" released in 2013. It can be easily found on Vimeo. Trigger warnings include grief and pessimism. Also I wrote this one on first person because I just think first person writing is neat😄

Everyone was gathered in the building that used to be a church. Except from the obvious architecture though you couldn't even tell. Even the beautiful stained glass was mostly gone. And there was no giant wooden cross in sight. Only tables full of food, drinks, and of course the band composed of four singing voices, an acoustic guitar, two saxophones, half a set of drums, a fucking button accordion, a xylophone and a def. Basically every instrument the scavengers could find over the years. Since the world has ended our neighborhood united to form a urban fortress.

I was in a corner with some friends not really interested in the conversation. My eyes scanned the whole place looking for the handsome, tall man with his long blonde straight hair. When I finally spotted Paul grabbing some food I whispered without actually intending to.

"There you are!"

"What?" One of my friends followed my eyes, "Oh my god are you really going after the man?"

"Dude is just introvert!" Another friend rolled his eyes, "That's why he is always in his basement."

"That is simply not true!" I said, "Y'all know how much I hate people, alive or otherwise, and yet I'm always here for our sunday gatherings."

"You know what?" my friend finished her beer before continuing, "Fucking go after him. If it turns out he's just lonely you will get my cleaning shifts for the whole month. And if you find a big secret of his or whatever I'll get yours. How about that?"

"It sounds like a deal!" Me and my friend shook hands with smiles on our faces.

"I can't believe you're going to bother the poor man just because he likes to eat by himself." My other friend shook his head in disapproval before smiling too, "But anyways if you find anything please spill the beans to us!"

"Gotcha!" I winked at them before making my move.

Paul put a lot of food inside an old Tupperware and walked towards the door like he usually did. I moved between the people trying to avoid being seen by him. Paul briefly talked to one or two people before leaving. I left the church a little after, making sure to give him time to step further from the door.

Most of the people were at the church so the streets were empty. I sneaked around corners and alleys and cars like I did so many times outside the walls. I still remember before the outbreak when not everyone needed to be a soldier in order to survive. It's been almost seven years but I still caught myself getting nostalgic sometimes.

I followed Paul for a few blocks. Housing was an issue in our community. Over the years more people started to come and babies started to be born once we reached a certain stability. Paul was one of those people who duo to his efforts towards the community gained the privilege to live on his own instead of in one of the communal houses like I did. He was one of the scavenging teachers after all. And my favorite one, I might add.

Besides being handsome he was also super quiet about anything that didn't concerned the classes. And to become a survivor as good as him you gotta have a past. We asked about it before but he always avoided the topic. This made me even more curious. I've always felt like he was hiding something and tonight I would finally figure out what!

It took a couple minutes for him to reach the big house with two floors and a front yard. Instead of entering the front door though he bypassed the house to enter through the basement door in the back. Paul lives in a basement just like a character from a book I read before the outbreak. Something about a woman watching her neighbours or something. I don't remember the details but I do remember one of the characters lived in a basement like Paul does.

I leaned on the wall and listened carefully as Paul opened the metal doors. After listening to his steps gradually fading as he went downstairs I sneaked into the entrance feeling glad he didn't lock it. I waited there for a while until I was confident Paul was distracted enough not to realize the sounds the doors would make. I opened just one door super slowly and checked every few seconds to see if there was any abrupt movements inside. When I closed the door behind me everything was in darkness expect for the light coming from one of the rooms. My hand instinctively reached for my gun but it wasn't there. I didn't carry my gun inside the walls.

I cursed myself in silence and started to walk downstairs. I wish I could see all the furniture Paul had but I couldn't announce my presence so my only option was to follow the light, which I did swiftly. I could hear a voice but it took me a while to make any sense of it.

"I know you would love those parties they make every Sunday." Paul's voice came from the only room with light, "We even had those back in the day, you remember?" He let out a deep sigh, "I still miss those days. We didn't have much like we do here, but we were happy, weren't we? I don't want to sound ungrateful or anything but I miss that, you know? I miss you, Karina."

There was not a sound to be heard expect for Paul's voice. The easiest explanation was that Paul was probably talking to a portrait ou painting like so many of us do. Death is such a common experience among the survivors. With this conclusion I could leave the house, but I wouldn't be satisfied. I wanted to know more about this Karina woman he was talking to. And about those old days.

I reached the entrance of the room but didn't dare to look inside. Instead I stayed there in silence, all my muscles stiffed. Quietly listening to Paul eating his dinner.

"Dominic talked to me again. You know, about the shifts and all that." Paul chuckled, "I'm not sure if we are just talking or flirting at this point. I know you are as terrible at this as I am but a little help would be good."

Paul chuckled again and a moan was heard. I felt my spine freeze as I obviously recognized the sound. A guttural and tired moan only a walker could make. I finally peeked into the room. There was no bed or beside table or any fortnite whatsoever. Paul was sat on a wooden chair eating his dinner with a fork. The most shocking thing though was the walker. The undead had it's arms tied tightly in a straightjacket. Saliva was falling from her mouth in the most grotesque waterfall I've ever seen. Paying special attention I realized her mouth was toothless. There was almost nothing left of hair in her head and the skin was this unnatural tone of grey. That walker was old. A thick chain kept it near the wall.

"What the fuck?" I whispered in terror.

Faster than I could even register Paul got up and pointed his revolver at me. I put my hands up and froze still.

"It's me! It's me! Please don't shoot."

It didn't seem like Paul would shoot me but he didn't put the gun down either. Instead he looked deep into my eyes. I tried to read him but as usual it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

"What are you doing here?" He asked finally with a deep voice.

"I... I was just-" the truth is that there was nothing to be said. I was there because I wanted to know what was up with him. And now I did.

"You shouldn't be here." He said firmly.

"I k-know!" I stuttered, "But you know what I'm already leaving, actually!"

"No!"

I stayed still. Paul took a deep sigh and finally put his gun down. The silence was only broken by the walker's unnerving sounds. Paul walked across the living room and brought a chair with him. Without saying anything he invited me to the room with the walker. I sat with them. Looking at it made me so uncomfortable all I wanted was to runway from there as fast as I could. Still, I stayed.

"This is Karina." Paul started, "We met in a settlement right after the outbreak."

"She died." I said, "And you couldn't let go of her."

"It's a little more complex than that."

I tried to look into Paul's eyes, but he was facing the ground. Once he was ready, Paul looked up at me.

"We made and oath. We wouldn't abandon each other no matter what. And when would fight for each other. One lives, all live."

Paul lifted hir shirt a little to show a huge scar on his belly. It looked well healed, "Our camp got raided by walkers. Me and Karina were the only survivors. I got this scar as a souvenir. But it looked bad, and I went unconscious for a couple hours."

At this point I kind of realized where this was going. I read Romeo and Juliet back at school. I hate tragedies. Paul lowered his shirt and shifted on his chair a little.

"Karina couldn't face the world on her own. She wanted to end all this pain and suffering."

"Oh no..." I covered my mouth slightly.

Paul tilted his head, "She killed herself. Once I got there it was already too late."

He stayed in silence for a while and I realized there were actual tears dropping from his eyes.

"But we made an oath!" He cried out. "We vowed never to leave each other and that's what I did!" He said even louder. The tears cleaning his face. "That's what I did-!!"

He choked on his own tears and couldn't say anything else. Paul just buried his face on his hands and cried while the walker (or should I say Karina?) moaned quietly in it's never ending hunger.

"I'm sorry." I whispered, no knowing what to say.

Paul got up still facing the ground. I quickly got up too and hugged him. He was taller than me so he had to bend a little to hug me back. That made his weight fall upon me. I had to stiff my legs in order not to simply fall down. But I carried him. He kept crying louder and louder. The walker got agitated but it didn't left it's place due to the restrains. I closed my eyes shut wishing with all of me for this to be over. Not Paul or the walker. Just everything else.

Pain and suffering left a scar on everyone. And I couldn't help but think, clouded by my own nostalgia, how much better things were before.
