[couldtheycatchkillerqueen]

Regarding the recent post:

Killer Queen is too short ranged of a stand to affect most sleuths and it's not in Kira's character to drop Sheer Heart Attack at the police departament and hope.

Kira generally doesn't have many ways to deal with characters that: Work in teams. Work from far away. Have any sort of records showing that they're invastigating him.

The man had to be bailed out by Bites the Dust and still lost Most sleuths wouldn't even let Kira get away for long enough for him to aquire Bites the Dust so that's not even something to consider in most of these cases.

{But you're really ignoring one thing: It can't be detected by anyone but Stand Users. Why would they think they needed to investigate Yoshikage Kira specifically? There's no evidence of the killings, since in canon, even the police didn't try to investigate the mysterious disappearances. The sleuths would mostly not be able to understand that Killer Queen exists, and even if they assumed it was something supernatural, there's still no evidence. And the man managed to impersonate another man in front of his family, landlord, coworkers, and everyone who may have talked to Kosaku on the street, with only the man's child catching on. Had Hayato never thought to set up a camera in his parents' room, Kira would have never been caught at all. And Kira doing poorly against teams of people investigating him doesn't line up when he's gotten away from them twice (he would have escaped Jotaro and Koichi were it not for Act III, and he did escape the entire Duwang Gang when they were chasing him by severing his own hand), plus managing to keep his identity secret from EVERYONE except Hayato until the kid figured out how to use the time-loop to his advantage. You're right that most of the time Killer Queen wouldn't get to Bites the Dust, but it would be because Kira wouldn't need to. He has eliminated people in broad daylight before, and he could do so again when against someone who can't see Stands.}

spent a LOT of today thinking about how good my kansumi headcanons are I literally became this image

[dootznbootz]

I know we love our morally gray characters. But the internet kinda ruined Circe for me.

Let me explain.

I remember I actually used to really like Circe's character when I first read the Odyssey last year. I loved her as a "helpful antagonist type" character.

But what ruined her character for me was everybody calling her a "girlboss" or just simping for her in a way? But they completely disregard the fact she technically raped a man. (But no one cares about that because male SA victims never get taken seriously, especially in media smh)

Now, I can never experience Circe as the same character because all I see is a terrible person being glorified because of her gender. And then people say double standards don't exist!

Which I hate cause she's a genuinely cool character. (From a writing standpoint)

Circe isn't a bad character let me be clear (in the Odyssey anyway. Cough cough Madeline Mil-) But I just hate how people romanticize her completely ignoring her terrible actions. And to think it's all just because she's a "hot badass female".

And this isn't just about Odysseus either, there's literally a myth where she tries to seduce a man, but when he remains faithful she turns him into a woodpecker-

People can like her CHARACTER, however, they should still acknowledge her bad actions too and hold her accountable. If we can all agree it's shitty what Zeus did to a bunch of women, we can also agree what Circe did to Odysseus was shitty.

Women sexually assaulting men is just as inhumane as vice versa and we have to stop turning a blind eye about it, even if it's fictional.

And I feel like people WOULD actually hold her accountable if she was a male character. Which makes me even more angry.

Maybe this is just a me thing, but I just can't fawn over a character and call them hot when they've done something as bad as some of the things Circe has done.

So, I guess what you could get out of this-

Please stop romanticizing circe.

Hold her accountable as you would any other character.

Don't be so forgiving just because you find her attractive.

Anyways, thank you for coming to my Ted talk and sorry for ranting

honestly yeah, all of this.

I sadly had to block Circe's tag on tumblr because it pisses me off how much people glorify her and/shittalk Odysseus with it. (I trust my friends when they have Circe content lol)

I love Circe as well. She's such an interesting and fun character but how people twist her just fucks with me so much. Also to make HER a victim just for girlbossness? What's so girlboss about having such a horrific thing happen to you?

I said it in a different post but you can thirst for Circe without making fun of her victim. People will call a victim of rape a manwhore or a slut as if what happened to him was a grand ol time. It's genuinely disturbing. He is shown to have PTSD from it (in my opinion) in the Odyssey. This book is ancient and yet it captures that better than anything I've read.

Odysseus isn't necessarily a wholesome, "goody-to-shoes" man. He does a lot of awful things. That doesn't mean that the suffering he went through is suddenly negated.

Even bringing up stuff with female characters, the fact that people will water them down so then they're not "problematic" pisses me off. Women can be horrible, even good women. Penelope is my fave but she's pretty awful in many ways.

Evidence will be right in front of people and they won't care. Crying, begging to go, fear, avoidance, numbness, etc. There'll be excuses anyway. "He's a guy, he's fine with it." "Men are sex crazed, especially back then." "He didn't try hard enough." "He should be grateful."

Honestly? What saddens me the most is that I don't think people will ever really understand what happened or even WANT to because they have their own idea in their head and refuse to see it for what it is. I mean Hades game did it too. It's really sad.

Circe and him weren't fwb. They weren't lovers. What about "heart full of grim forebodings" screams love? He wanted to save his friends and go home.

[ad-hawkeye]

You came up on my recommended feed at the perfect time bc I have Artem brainrot rn AND YOUR ANALYZATION OF ARTEM’S CARDS ARE FANTASTIC! I’m one of the few players that avoids most CN server spoilers, and I’ve been abstaining from pulling most cards so I can pull for 3rd anni(which now I’m kinda questioning if I should LOL), so I missed out on a TON of content for all of the male leads. BUT, from the very few cards I had pulled this past yr, I did notice an odd shift in Artem’s personality. Although, I wasn’t too sure if it was just me being dumb or if it was a real thing that was happening. And after reading some of your posts I kinda want to re-read Artem’s Second Anni Card again bc I was so excited for the artwork from that event, that I didn’t pay much attention to the story LOL However, now that I’ve seen what you’ve said and what many other Artem fans have said, I’m sure my feelings weren’t wrong. And now I’m sad 😢

Artem was my favorite bc his relationship with Rosa felt the healthiest and was built on respecting each other’s boundaries, learning how to set boundaries, and working as a team, while also having a more traditional framework of a male leadership role(which I’m extremely fond of). Artem never restricted Rosa from spreading her wings as his work partner or as his life partner, he simply asked if he could come along beside her where ever she wanted to go. AND LIKE HIS ORIGINAL PERSONAL STORY IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THIS BEHAVIOR! Rosa makes a reckless decision to go get evidence, without Artem, for a the domestic violence case they were working on and almost gets hurt in the process. After that, Artem scolds Rosa for being reckless and for not taking better care of herself. And Rosa doesn’t take it lying down either! They equally argue and get their grievances out in the open, feel bad about later, and apologize. (THE COMMUNICATION IS SO REAL 😩) FURTHERMORE! This incident leads them to learning and understanding how differently they work as lawyers. Artem learns that Rosa is a lot more personal with her clients and handles her cases with an empathetic approach, while he works more pragmatically, so through this case they learn to work to each other’s strengths as partners, covering for what the other person lacks. And the chapters this incident took place in solidified my growing love for Artem bc unlike Luke or Vyn(I’m not sure about Marius bc admittedly I haven’t read his original personal story 😅), Artem doesn’t hinder Rosa by being overprotective like Luke or push her beyond her capacities like Vyn tried to do in his original personal story. Artem allows a natural course of growth to occur in Rosa, while being a hedge of protection for Rosa BUT ONLY when she seems to REALLY need it, and the same can be said for Rosa towards Artem.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, sorry for ranting 😅

WAHHH YOU'RE TOO KIND!! ;_; thank you so much for the sweet words, it really means a lot!!! i'm so so happy you enjoyed my ranting and raving, honestly having a community of super awesome people to talk about this with has been such a comfort and ive made some awesome friends from my time here, even if we don't chat as much anymore!

and omg, do NOT ever feel bad for ranting in my inbox!!!! i've been ranting about tot in the main tag for two years at this point and i will Always be thrilled to read delightfully written meta such as yours!!!!!

i have to say, i entirely agree with all of this. and i mean ALL OF IT. his personal stories 2, 3, and 4 are my absolute favorites of his and gosh that's like. prime artem to me, i think. your ask reminded me of some meta i read such a long while ago about his second personal story (link can be found here, it's SUCH a good read)

i think a huge issue is that artem originally always felt like the antithesis to your typical daddy dom boss character. when you start playing tot, appearances wise, he looks and even comes across as one. but these initial appearances are quickly shattered.

he is absolutely inexperienced with interpersonal relationships. he fumbles the bag CONSTANTLY with rosa. he's terrible at holding conversation, he's constantly apologizing for being boring. he needs his own fucking boss to wingman (haha. wing) for him. he blushes if mc looks at him the wrong way. he's kinda strange. but he's earnest and genuine. he respects rosa's boundaries. he makes mistakes, but learns from them. he gives rosa time to think over her feelings for him so she can still say no to him if she changes her mind.

it's the contrast between this and his initial appearance that makes him interesting. what is extremely bizarre with artem's recent writing is it feels like someone who only read artem's introduction scene got some vague pointers and was like oh. your typical daddy dom boss guy. okay yeah i can write this. and then they did. which . defeats the whole entire point of what made artem compelling in the first place. he was compelling BECAUSE he subverted this trope. by just making him play the trope straight, you remove any and all intrigue from his character.

by not building off of older cards, you abandon all of the plot lines he had set up. they undid any angst in his stories. they dropped his issues with his parents. they downplayed neils impact on his life. he doesn't even grieve for him anymore. he doesnt even think about him most of the time. what happened to entwined fate? praying for neil's safety? what about neil being his father figure? neil potentially betraying the nxx? are we just going to ignore that now so we can watch artem be an insane freak who just apparently woke up with the skills of a sex god, forgot all of the lessons he learned, and doesnt care about consent anymore?

god, now IM ranting.... regardless. youre so right. i hear artem's newest cards are good so im praying those rumors are true : ((

EDIT: SORRY I MEANT TO TALK ABOUT HIS THIRD ANNIVERSARY CARD!!! it's not as bad as his second anniversary card. i know the bar is in hell but it's something. it's pretty contrived in the grand scheme of things (like why are they moving into a house...?) and has some weird moments, but is ultimately not as bad as it could have been in the slightest. i'd say its biggest crime is being boring as sin. holy fuck. i put that shit on 2x speed and i still found myself wanting to fast forward. like nothing happens at all???? it's so bizarre HAHA

[pedrospatch]

In response to your rant - I’m sorry that people are being so cruel. I am currently underground on this app, both for asks and for writing, because of the taboo nature of my writing. I have had mutuals reported, censored and banned from the app because people feel that what we write should be silenced.

Writers aren’t hurting anyone - it’s very easy to curate your experience on this app. But, some people don’t agree with that sentiment and then we writers are left frustrated and sometimes feeling isolated or shunned.

People need to adopt the “don’t like, don’t read” philosophy instead of telling other how or what they should be allowed to write.

/rant. (Sorry you’re having a frustrating day/evening)

hi non

first off i’m sorry to hear about your mutuals. i’m also sorry i don’t have a lot to say, i’m just exhausted. it’s like we can’t have one week of peace and harmony, one day where people keep mean thoughts to themselves.

not liking something is valid. there are options. unfollow, block, filter, scroll. barring very extreme circumstances like an author INTENTIONALLY not tagging their work for example, writers aren’t hurting anyone.

they’re not hurting anyone if they make a character too ooc

they’re not hurting anyone if they write something really soft or really dark

they’re not hurting anyone if they write nothing but au’s

thanks for coming to my ted talk

𝄞 Rant, maybe vent?

𝄞 So... in two weeks, my classes will be starting again. i'm in the last year of high school, which means i will graduate and go to college + try to find a job. along with high school, i'll graduate in my english course and have my diploma, which I GUESS it means i might be able to find a job, as an english teacher or something. i'm a little anxious, obviously because it's a new stage in my uninteresting life, since i've never went to college before, i think it's reasonable to feel like that.

𝄞 But i'm also slightly worried. because i'm pro-ship, and i have seen sometimes antis trying to ruin a person's life just because they don't give a shit about shipping. and that includes like when antis try to make someone being FIRED from their job just because they are pro-ship. and i'm a bit scared this might happen to me, knowing how far antis might go for the sake of ruining a life. am i stupid for being scared about this? yes i think so. but still, it worries me. like, yes, i know my superior/manager won't tell me "erm ms. hazysurrealist, you're being fired because you ship the d'arby brothers!!" no i don't think someone outside internet is dumb enough to say this. what scares me is like antis in fact making up lies and someone in real life actually believing them, which could lead to a LOT of problems. maybe antis could even doxx me- you get the idea.

𝄞 Buuuuut if i'm being honest, i am actually more worried with finishing high school and trying to find a stable job but still, thanks for coming to my ted talk. i'm really sorry for putting this in the proship/profiction tag, i feel like i'm crosstagging...

[lavalamp-juice]

Just watched the premiere of My Adventures with Superman! /w my mom AHHHHH

My 2 cents about it!!!! -

Spoilers for the first 2 episodes

Clark- UGH LOVEABLE GOOF HE'S SO KIND AND SWEET I LOVE HIS CHARACTER!!! He is different but not too different. He has strong morals but is quirky and not as serious as any other iteration (that I have seen) it's nice to see Superman happy ya know?🦸‍♂️ALSO HE CLEANED UP THE MESS IN THE CITY THAT HE MADE. LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT. I'm assuming superheroes usually do that but they never really show it right?

Jimmy Olsen- Character design is so fun I love it! I think he was always kinda a conspiracy theorist but they really add to it here, but not in an annoying way! He's a sweetheart, totally golden retriever vibes. He reminds me a lot of Mikey form ROTTMNT. Interesting thing I liked I that he took blurry photos like yeah he's not a professional yet, and was getting cars thrown at him.

Ah yes Lois Lane- most of my Comparisons are from the past DC animated shows like STAS and JLU, the Loises in those are not my favorite just because of ego but THIS Lois is so fun!!! She's extremely ambitious :D

The relationships between all of them- Clark and Jimmy have a great platonic relationship! Cool that they are roommates s too will make Clarks secret identity thing even more interesting!

Jimmy and Lois have a nice friendship, they are both crazy so pairing them together is so fun. Lol Clark is just trying to handle two little kids it's great. In Superman the animated series Lois and Clark are like late 20s and Jimmy is just a tag along teen, so them all being the same age is so fresh and interesting!

Clark and Lois are so cute together it's wonderful <3 Chemistry between them is really cute (I love when Clark brought up her to his mom) Made me like

The Story: Yes Yes Yes

Everything Else! - Animation is amazing! Put me in a mood to actually make art which is always a plus :))) Clarks mom looked a lot like my mom it was weird, also she's so supportive :') The boss guy was a J. Jonah Jameson type so always good for a laugh and a bit of an agonist.

So sorry for the rant I've just always loved these characters and seeing them brought in a fresh way is so cool!

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

[thirteenisloved96]

Blocking the tag isnt enough, im blocking the daredevil stans who dont even watch for jen and some have gone as far as to say it disappointed them because of the lack of Matt and to them she hulk is only relevant to reintroduce matt murdock(which infuriated me to no fucking end)

Meanwhile im just gonna enjoy she hulk because Jennifer Walters is my new comfort character. I watch it for Jen and Jen only(wong is a bonus)

Like sorry to burst your bubble(not really cause i dont care anymore) but this show isnt gonna have a lot of matt and thats good cause this isnt his show anyway

Thank you for coming to my ted talk/rant

I know an issue we had with Shadow and Bone season 1 was that Jesper did not wear his colorful clothing as he was described favoring in the books. But my first thought seeing Jesper in the season 2 teaser was that he was finally wearing some green.

I said it once and I'll say it again.

I don't think Kaz is holding a knife. I think he is holding a letter opener. (A letter opener is a knife, but not my point.)

Reasons why:

There is no one around him to physically hurt.

He is in front of his desk.

There is an envelope on the desk.

He is holding the knife while he is in front of a letter.

It is a letter opener.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

None Of The Crows Will Die

I know many of us are afraid that when we get SoC 3, a Crow has to die. And many people think it's Kaz but just like a post @quillsthrills made, Killing Kaz is Killing Hope. (Sorry for the tag but you made a valuable point!!)

And I've also seen another or multiple posts about how Leigh can't kill off any of the Crows because how is she going to defend killing off a disabled boy with severe PTSD, a girl who also has severe PTSD and survived sex trafficking, a boy who has ADHD and is recovering from a gambling addiction, a boy who has dyslexia and had an abusive father, and a plus sized girl recovering from a drug addiction. (I don't know who posted this but please take the credit, I just typed this from my memory and understanding.)

And the reason Matthias died was because Leigh planned it from the start. She knew he was going to die, and his death was relevant to his character arc.

And I don't know if Leigh secretly plans to kill another one of the Crows but she can't justify killing any of the remaining 5 crows. And their deaths contribute nothing to their character development.

I also stumbled into this quote that I highlighted from my copy of Six of Crows.

This was during their trek through Fjerda, going to the Ice Court.

And maybe I'm not contributing any new points but I would just like to point out that the Crows are survivors, even Matthias said so. He wasn't including himself and I don't know if that's because he still didn't like associating himself with the rest of the Crows or if this was possible foreshadowing, which will be a stretch, but Kaz, Inej, Jesper, Wylan, and Nina are all survivors.

They represent and stand for all the people who've gone through the experiences they've had, which although are extreme to the average person, we still resonate with. And killing any of them wouldn't send a good message.

Leigh can't kill Kaz because he stands for the people who are surviving and living in spite of whatever challenges they face.

Leigh can't kill Inej because she stands for the people who are healing and have found purpose in the lives they live.

Leigh can't kill Jesper because he stands for the people who are learning from their mistakes and trying to do better.

Leigh can't kill Wylan because he stands for the people who have found peace and prosperity despite their upbringing and let go of the ones who hurt them.

Leigh can't kill Nina because she stands for the people who have faced an incredible loss and doing their best to move on and live life to the fullest.

These aren't the only reasons and just reflect my interpretation of the characters but I really believe Leigh can't give these characters tragic endings because they all deserve happy, hopeful ones.

My #1 post of 2022

Thinking about how the first and last time we see Kaz (in the SoC duology) get into a sticky situation and out of it, he bluffed his way through, and got out alive.

He didn't set that girl's apartment on fire and he didn't bury Pekka's son alive.

Because When everyone knows you're a monster, you needn't waste time doing every monstrous thing.

I follows tags because I have an interest in the actually tag. Whether it be for pictures of pretty people, cool art, fanfics, headcanons, or just shitposts doesn't matter. What I don't follow tags for is people complaining and getting on their high horse about some world events being more important than others. Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig didn't get nominated for an Oscar. Okay that happened. So what? I'm a little sad about it but I'm not going to go yell about it on the internet. Can't take it back (probably I'm not entirely sure about that). The Israel-Hamas war is really really bad (I know that's an understatement) and Palestine should be freed. That's a common and reasonable statement. I agree that Palestine should be freed and the war should end. However I'm not interested in being preachy about it. I'm a more passive person. I am definitely not going to compare the two. I think they should be separate issues. I think people shouldn't be comparing two pretty damn unrelated issues. I want to have fun in the fandoms I'm in here and that's it. No more.

Anyway....Thanks for coming to my TED talk. I'm sorry for ranting, have a good timezone.

[doctorstrangeaskblog]

Have you met Zelma Stanton?

No. Why? Do I know her in other realities?

[whysojiminimnida]

What do we know about this show? Do we have any more details about this show?! Maybe SK is gradually coming into a new era of LGBTQI+ acceptance (at least in media)??? 🌈🌈🌈 https://www.allkpop.com/article/2022/05/south-korean-ott-platform-wavve-under-discussion-for-a-new-gay-dating-entertainment-program

I WAS JUST TALKING TO KEVIN ABOUT THIS OMG. Your link (which, allkpop is trash but I'll allow it because there's not much else about this out there):

And here's the text so you ain't even gotta click if you don't wanna.

Oh look boys kissing! No? Identifiable boys close to each other! Definitely gay boys! Still... no?

No seriously I stole that pic straight off of KBIZoom talking about the EXACT SAME SHOW POSSIBILITY - but they had to censor the shots in case anyone thought the models might be ... kinda GAY. I believe we see closer stuff than that on your average Memories DVD:

BUT ANYWAY Kevin and I were discussing it - he brought it up. And I was like "uh BL (boy love) is a huge market, it'd be stupid not to make some bank on it" and he goes, "This is Korea. Boy love as a genre is acceptable here because it's fiction. A reality show with actual people willing to be out on television is going to be a hard sell for both the audience and the potential cast." So I go well what about the fact that they're even considering it then, and he goes,

"Considering, curious about, beginning market research on, all words that mean this is not something that is ready to happen here yet. Maybe in the next administration, but not now. They probably started round-table-ing this idea a year ago, but with Yoon in office? It's not happening. Give it a few years to let the idea simmer and see what the next President does." But my trash white American girl opinion is that of course it would be a great idea -- in theory, it could open some eyes. Except that the conservatives wouldn't watch it. Much like Drag Race here and in Europe, it would be a niche market for the first few years. WATCH ME JUST DIGRESS HERE I DO THAT SOMETIMES

Kim Chi competed on and nearly won Season 8 of RuPaul's Drag Race, and is a Korean man with Korean parents. He is 34 years old and at the time he competed, his mother knew only that he was a gay makeup artist. His father and his brother didn't even know he was gay. And I'm not sure they know now. And this dude lives in Los Angeles by way of Chicago. I can't imagine what his life would be like in Seoul, or Daegu, or Busan. And while Kev agreed that yeah, okay, drag is a step farther, he also said, interestingly, that drag might have been MORE acceptable to his own Korean mother (rest her soul) than having a gay son would have been. Because he could have argued that he was into it for the theater - a bit of Japanese kabuki styling - versus "oh hey eomma I do sexy time with men, woke up gay today, bit fruity."

So the upshot is that gay fiction is one thing, but gay reality is entirely another. We're back to the "we don't talk about those things here, it isn't polite." Enjoying the romantic drama of two young (they're always young, Kevin noted, not being particularly young himself) pretty men is not the same thing as seeing Jungshin from accounting on a dating show.... for GAY PEOPLE. And Kevin pointed out that honestly, even BTS are seen as fictional characters in Korea (and likely elsewhere). The idea that they are real human men with real romantic interests and real sex drives doesn't really fly, there. Not yet, anyway. So the "boy love" aspect is fine, as long as they're young, famous, pretty, and they don't admit to TOO much.

This is okay. ETA: and the above shot is edited, in case anyone didn’t know. See my fictional character point?

This is okay. But if they kissed or came out, that would NOT BE OKAY. And Taekook is not real, but the Jeon Parks are about as loud as they can get what with dropping honorifics like that, so as long as they're riding the line of fiction vs reality they're still okay. Full on reality or even depicting reality, though, is still not okay - at least, not on the Seoul Broadcasting Network (SBS), who censored out the kisses in "Bohemian Rhapsody", the Freddie Mercury biopic as recently as 2021. And that caused some backlash on the internet:

But it hasn't changed a thing on the networks. YET. Maybe someday. Hope springs eternal.

What did hybe do? :(

oH HUN HYBE'S DOING AN AMAZING AND A FANTASTIC JOB WITH THEIR BIGGEST GROUP

Oh :(

tw: a long rant, little negativity, my opinion

I wrote that ramble.txt sdfjkd because I came across this certain post on my dash regarding you know,,, the thing going around about ptd not being an amazing production and all

the thing is, i like ptd :) and it sounds cute, but bts as THEMSELVES could have done so much more and better. but the thing is, i think that they, or rather hybe is under a wrong impression that since dynamite almost got them a grammy, maybe releasing more english songs to make an impression in the western industry would finally get them one. and honestly, it's not that i don't enjoy their english songs, it's just that english songs are not exactly their authentic vibe okay? once, for a change dynamite was superb, but constantly if we keep getting english songs, then the whole reason why we listen and find their music 'unique' at all can be questioned you know :(

the distribution can be really messed up, the lyrics are harder, and blah blah it just sounds like something that anyone else can do and we end up losing the genuine feeling that we have when we listen to bts's songs

like ptd doesn't have the members' name anywhere in production or composing as other people had a hand in it, and what was the result?a 50-50 feeling towards the song, right? on the other hand, film out was SUCH A GODDAMN BOP AND A MASTERPIECE and it genuinely has jungkook's name in the credits for lyric writing! and that makes me so happy sjkfsd because the song's truly truly beautiful AND VERY UNDERRATED GO LISTEN TO IT sjksslkd

and the fact that theY LITERALLY HAVE A WHOLEASS RAP LINE WHO PRODUCE SUCH AMAZING SONGS WHAT THE HELL don't let talent go waste hybe

I mean, now, for upcoming title tracks and albums, i want them to do something that THEY wish to do, not what HYBE WANTS THEM to do, and i don't want them to attract the western industry at the expense of losing their fans because some people were genuinely not happy with ptd :(

like :( i am missing the mots and ly albums so so so much lately and i wish that they could maybe release something that is THEIR style along with subunits/solos like BE album which is another masterpiece tbvvh😤💘, instead of a collab or production or composing or whatever by someone else :(

so i was just feeling a bit sad all over again about it and thought that c'mon hybe, bts is your biggest group, why you gotta be like this towards them? they are almost senior, experienced artists now and i believe that they know how to win hearts and make us happy and content with their original style of music :(

Mason, staring at Tarrant after he threw the potato:

[ivyglow]

I noticed subban was I think #4 on your list, what do you like about him?

everything????!!!! like look at this man and tell me he isn’t handsome, I dare you!!

his smile is the cutest to me, I also love how his ears are kinda smaller and the shape of his face *chef kiss* perfect, I also love his nose cuz I love big noses, he’s just it for me <3 

I don’t really talk a lot about him because he is (was?) married, so idk I do talk about him every once in a while, but you can bet I’m head over heels for him

and the plus: he looks great in yellow (which is one of my fav colors)

(black ppl in general just looks great w yellow -and any other color if I must say, give me a red dress and you’ll see!!!!!-)

aaaand idk I feel like I only talked about it on my tags, but although I simp for whities here, my type of man is black man,  ya girl loves the idea of black love, etc (also black men are fucking perfect, change my mind!)
