#stories and rumors can be planted with virtually no source behind them

sm is planning a dating scandal to cover up one of nct member's relationship with a fan that they find a menace for his image and behavior towards them, could you do a tarot check about this?

First off wow! Second interesting ask. Like it's so interesting and unique that I was like okay might as well try this one I hope. Again anything that's done here should always be taken with a grain of salt especially when it comes to things like possible rumors or things that a company can or cannot or might or might not do.

Also from a Fan's point of view and someone who has a degree and has worked in the entertainment industry. I will say that things like this happened way more often than you would think even in the West in terms of companies sitting there and starting false rumors or spreading certain propaganda to cover up relationships especially if the selling point for that artist is their availability or virtual dating vibes. That being said we can never know we don't know but I also wouldn't trust sm entertainment in terms of being completely transparent unless either the artist gets caught dating or the artist themselves come out and just announce it without telling the company that they're going to do so anymore than I feel like I at 4 foot 9 in tall and weighing like 99 pounds could pick up and throw bang PD across the room.

Tarot Tea Time: SM Entertainment, Dating Drama & PR Games?

— aka “Did SM Plant That Rumor…?”

The Cards Pulled:

Page of Cups, King of Cups (rev), Knight of Wands (rev), King of Pentacles (rev), Ten of Pentacles, Eight of Pentacles (rev), Page of Pentacles, Five of Pentacles, Seven of Pentacles, The Emperor

A Simple Summary:

Oh honey… this is giving “yes, but let’s pretend we didn’t say yes.”

Page of Cups + Page of Pentacles = a new-ish, sweet but immature connection. Think: messy feelings, puppy love, or an "oops we caught real feelings" moment.

King of Cups reversed + Knight of Wands reversed + King of Pentacles reversed = emotional manipulation, impulsive energy, and someone (cough the company cough) trying to lock things down real tight because this isn’t the “ideal image” they had in mind.

Eight of Pentacles reversed + Five of Pentacles = someone (likely the fan or the idol) is not following the script. The vibe is: "We said keep it low. They said post subtle matching bracelets.”

Ten of Pentacles + The Emperor = legacy, brand, power. This is big “we’ve got an empire to protect, and this relationship isn’t it” energy.

Seven of Pentacles = the company’s watching, waiting, calculating. It’s not impulsive this is a slow-burn plan.

Basic Translation:

Yes, babes.

There’s a very real possibility that SM is cooking up a lil’ PR soup to distract the public because someone’s falling for the wrong person and they’re not cooperating.

SM’s vibe?

“We don’t care if you’re in love. We care if the shareholders find out.”

So what do they do? Spin the story. Twist the narrative. Drop a random scandal or redirect the fans' rage to someone else just in time. Classic damage control.

Is someone dating a fan behind the scenes? Quite possibly, yes.

Does SM approve? LOL. No.

Would they plant a rumor to protect their image? Absolutely. With a PowerPoint and a panic room.

Is the fan “bad for the brand”? The cards say the company thinks so.

Is the member listening to SM? Not really. Hence the drama.

#SMsPRTeamIsSweating

Now personal thoughts:

Its complicated from what I'm picking up on it again tank with a grain of salt this is most likely from 127 AKA one of the more profitable NCT units that the company very much so wants to keep intact in terms of their image and the way they come all fast etc. I will sit there and say ask for clarification I'm not going to be giving names but I will say that it is most definitely one of the foreign members and that's also one of the reasons why the company is kind of a little bit in the trenches about this. Now the reason why I personally feel a little it's complicated is the energy is giving isn't exactly like ooh we're in love and it's super good it's kind of giving low key toxic it's giving the I believe the song is called like toxic all the time or something like that by Rose of black pink but it's like giving that Vibes it's giving sitting there and purposely fucking up your bicycle so that this person has to like save you on the side of the road that's how they met and now they're in this really fast moving relationship of sorts.

Its very emotionally unavailable having an ex or someone else that they're actually pining over and want to share all this like good news and things happening to them with wanting to feel that feeling of being in a relationship and loved not really having their shit together but trying to make it seem like they do. And for whatever reason in their mind that means being in a relationship doing fun things I'm saying fuck it when it comes to like the company Etc it's very much midlife crisis vibes. You know I do feel like a lot of people get confused when you talk about midlife crisis because of how old people normally are but speaking from experience as a recently turned 28 year old. Because of the way the society is nowadays I feel like most of us are having midlife crisis at the ages of like 25 you hit 25 and then you start fucking crashing out because everyone makes it seem like your life is completely over if you're not sitting there with a 401k being a multi-millionaire having a healthy relationship with your family and on your way to walking down the aisle and popping out like three kids regardless if you're a a man or a woman that's just kind of how the lives have turned. And that's energy I'm getting I'm getting oh my God I am crashing out and I'm crashing out hard and the company is kind of like scrambling. They're like we're already going through legal issues in trauma and drama and we do not have time for you to be going through a midlife crisis right now. We kind of need you to have your shit together so can you like maybe not or if you're going to say you're being this weird ass fucking relationship keep it on the down low we can't afford to have Fallout.

AGAIN this is just my opinion all of this should be taken with a grain of salt because yes the tarot cards can give us some clarity and answers but it doesn't mean that they're always 100% correct or right. But I will say if you think that it feels correct and if you happen also be someone who's into being a spiritual body you'll understand why I sit there and say that there's always a high possibility of these things being true because at the end of the day the universe Source God's goddesses wherever the fuck you believe in it connects all of us it's also why we have so many different theories that exist like the fact that every five people you know know another five people and that's how you could find out that you genuinely have a connection to some random ass motherfucker halfway across the world famous or not. But again take it with a grain of salt!

News Nuggets from Around Disney World

It’s time again for a hearty helping of Rope Drop [dot] Net News Nuggets! As you probably saw earlier this week, I have already posted about the Star War related news that came out of Celebration. Of course, the biggest news since the last post was that The Rock was on the Jungle Cruise!. Talk a “plus-ed” experience.

Nuggets!!

Now, on to the rest of the News Nuggets:

Planet Hollywood Observatory to create outdoor, quick-service counter at Walt Disney World Resort – If the rumors are true that Plant Hollywood has their donkey-sauced burger pre-made, then they might as well try to offload them as kickin’ “quick service” options as well.

First Look at Menu for Satu’li Canteen in Pandora—The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom – The menu seems interesting, but even more interesting is the Mobile Ordering feature. I would hope that in 5 years, all Disney quick service restaurants have mobile ordering. Speaking of which…

Full List of 15 Walt Disney World Restaurants That Will Offer Mobile Ordering Starting Soon – This has potential to be fantastic. I can’t even list the number of times that mobile ordering has made my Chick-Fil-A or Starbucks experience significantly better. I hope Disney’s implementation of this works just as well.

First Listen: Sneak a Peek at Our ‘Happily Ever After’ Theme Song – Huh. The clip of this song isn’t exactly what I was hoping for from the new show. Maybe it’ll be better in context.

Disney-Pixar’s “Cars 3” Nationwide Tour Kicks off at Disney Springs – Denise over at Mouse Steps has coverage of the “tour” the will be promoting the new movie. It include replicas of the cars, games, etc… Not really my thing, but I can see why people would really like it.

“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” screening, Headless Horseman meet-and-greet Fort Wilderness for Halloween – Huh. Interesting. Another thing not really up my alley, but interesting nonetheless.

Bob Iger’s Contract Extended to July 2, 2019 – These kind of corporate maneuverings are not usually something I write about, but Iger has had an “interesting” relationship with the parks. To date, I would argue there have been some negatives (e.g., the trend of “up charge events”, lower staffing during certain periods), but we’re about to start on some big changes (e.g. Avatar, Star Wars, Toy Story), so it should be interesting.

Virtual tours of Copper Creek Villas – I’ve previously said this is where Elyssa & I might buy DVC, but that was before I saw the maintenance dues.

Registration Now Open for Annual Passholder Previews of Pandora: The World of AVATAR – If you’re an AP holder, you probably already got an email about this (and hopefully booked it…since it’s sold out.)

Mission Space at Epcot Closing This Summer for Refurbishment – I wonder what’s going on. June 5th through July 31st is a pretty strange time for a refurb.

‘The Music of Pixar Live!’ Will Debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studios This Summer – This seems like a summer holding area for crowds waiting for the night time entertainment when so much of the park is under construction.

Learn From the Pros How to Decorate Your Own Cake at Amorette’s Patisserie at Disney Springs – $130 is a lot to pay to decorate a cake (even if Amorette’s is pretty tasty.)

Pandora – Everything You Need To Know – I’m going to leave this here, since I don’t do an “info dump” nuggets. This is a pretty comprehensive rundown from the TouringPlans gang.

Disney testing Virtual Queues at its Walt Disney World water parks – Just like Volcano Bae!

Portobello at Disney Springs Closing April 23 For Refurbishment – No surprise here. All previously existing restaurants at Disney Springs need to upgrade to compete with the new comers. The big surprise is that nothing has happened to Bongos yet.

News: Liberty Tree Tavern Menu Updates (And Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake for DINNER!) – Does this mean all you care to enjoy ooey gooey toffee cake for dinner?

STK Orlando now offers brunch, including The Ultimate Brunch For Two – The menu looks fine. That said, it stil takes place in STK (which isn’t really the environment Elyssa and I like when we’re at Disney).

pictures from WDW Magic – Here are some

Walt Disney World Gondola System Foundation Construction About to Begin – This is really going to maybe, possibly happen, huh?

New My Disney Experience app Launches, Makes Planning Walt Disney World Vacations Even Easier – I like the concept, but the execution is funky. Standard app conventions say the menu is on the left and you use the “hamburger” icon to open it. This menu launched from the bottom is strange.

Limited Spaces Remain for Member Event at Markham’s at Golden Oak – Yes, $130 is a lot for this event, but it would be cool to hang out in the Golden Oaks club house.

Typhoon Lagoon Moonlight Magic registration now open for DVC Members with Reservations – If you’re DVC and staying at a DVC on June 23, 28 or July 5, 13, you can register now.

Countdown to Pandora – The World of Avatar Continues with First Look at Na’vi Translator Device – Ignore the actual item, and check out the lack of Disney branding on it. It will be interesting to see how that concept applies throughout the land.

Take A Behind-the-Scenes Look At The Making Of ‘Happily Ever After’ – I am really apprehensive about this show, and I still haven’t seen anything that eases that. I hope the final product ends up looking better than the stuff in the clips they’ve released.

New Shirts from Star Wars: The Last Jedi to support UNICEF – Elyssa doesn’t love the look, but–at least–it’s for a good cause.

Leaked (?) Photos from Inside Pandora – The World of Avatar – WDW News Today reposts photos for a guy who is MUCH braver than I am. (I would never blast my Twitter handle against something like that.)

Tree of Life Awakenings Projection Show is Expanding to the Back of the Animal Kingdom Icon – This could be useful in spreading people throughout the park as it starts to be open later at night.

Magic Kingdom Party Dates – 53 dates is a lot of dates.

Light up your visit to the Epcot China Pavilion with a new photo prop from Disney PhotoPass Service – I like these little touches. They’re not particularly complicated, but they do make for some interesting new photos.

Rumors of TRON Lightcycle Power Run Roller Coaster being Close to Green Light for Walt Disney World, Disneyland – The problem with rumors like this is that you never know if 10 different sites are citing the same “source,” are places like WDW New Today and Jim Hill actually hearing it from different places.

Fittings & Fairings Gift Shop at Disney’s Yacht Club Temporarily Closed – Something to keep in mind for those staying at the Yacht Club (though there are plenty of options around Crescent Lake for similar things.)

Ample Hills Creamery extending hours for the next month. – Ample Hills is going to be open until 11:00pm just in time for Elyssa’a and my arrival.

Rumors of Groot and Star Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy Coming to The Studios – I hope this is better than the Doctor Strange thing. Also, I wish Disney World was getting Gamora.

Sign Up Now For The runDisney Virtual Running Shorts Series – Elyssa and I do 1 (or more) runDisney events per year, and–I admit–I did this last year. I just wanted the medals (which I thought looked cool.) I’m not sure I’ll ever do it again (and definitely not for these medals.)

Four Seasons now selling homes on Walt Disney World property starting at $5 million – But they’ll probably be like only 2-3 million on the resale market, right?

Grab-and-Go Menu Available at Art Smith’s Homecomin’! – Something to keep in mind if you’re walking around Disney Springs. The to-go menu is available from the Shine Bar (which has a separate entrance you can use.)

Dry weather limits certain activities at Disney World. – Something to keep in mind if you’ll be down there before Central Florida gets some rain.

‘Happily Ever After’ To Feature The Most Advanced Projection Mapping Tech Yet – Disney is really trying to talk up this show. I hope it’s a winner, since people are going to really expect something big if it’s going to replace Wishes.

Club 33 announced for Walt Disney World, coming soon to 4 new locations – Something to aspire to, I guess. I wonder when I should put my name on the waiting list to have the opportunity to buy in about the time I’ll be able to afford it.

Walt Disney World’s Uber-Like Transportation Service Slated to Begin Soon – Two Questions: (1) Will it be comparable in cost to Uber?, (2) Will Disney ban Uber & Lyft from property to encourage people to use it?

Martha’s Vineyard Review at Disney’s Beach Club from easyWDW. – I don’t normally post reviews like this in the News Nuggets, but I found this review of Martha’s “Graveyard” to be interesting for it’s overall positive tone. At a minimum, Josh has a good tip that the beer selection is pretty decent.

Walt Disney World Plans to Hire 1,000 New Cast Members This Spring – This seems a lot more promising than last year’s staff cuts, etc… (which were rumored to be a result of Shanghai Disney going over budget.)

That’s it for this edition of the News Nuggets! Let’s all celebrate by watching the Blue Angels fly over the Magic Kingdom:
