uhh, all that being said, i do agree with international fans
like if you’re going to market a group as an international group, there needs to be content available internationally
the groups i was into got popular overseas, but they weren’t global groups, they weren’t promoted that way, it just kind of happened naturally and they kind of went with it when they could
but this is a global group
and most of the content is locked behind a paywall that you can’t pay for unless you have a japanese payment method.
like when they used that fujitv+ whatever for the hybe tv broadcast. im -in- japan and i couldn’t figure out how to access it xD it was essentially setting up a cable channel, so japan only.
or on hulu, where i think you can use a vpn to be able to watch that stuff? but not everyone has access to both a reliable vpn and a hulu subscription? or the smash. contents? the uk branch closed so its back to only japanese can pay the subscription fee i think?
and now Academy which will air on tv in japan and then also on a different channel in japan? and then also on hulu but again, people without a vpn probably cant watch it?
like if youre going to say theyre a global group but then not provide any global content, people will have a hard time latching on and staying there.
the youtube vlog series are nice, don’t get me wrong, but they’re like 2 minute videos of vlogging. better than nothing i suppose.
and don’t get me started on the state of subtitles. @_@
since everything is airing on live tv IN JAPAN, theres 100% 0 chance of those being subbed. its on tv in japan, the show is in japanese, there’s no reason to sub those in any language except japanese, which is still not always guaranteed anyways.
if the tv channels have rights to that footage, hybe can’t upload it to their own youtube and sub it...soooo...i just feel like this runs really deep and we may not see the outcome we want to see any time soon.
but at least they may be able to pave the way for future acts.
thank you for coming to my ted talk

I’m making a webcomic adaptation of The Hobbit! It’s an epic cool passion project that incorporates as much of Tolkien’s prose as possible while also being my own take on the story, it features a variety of different art styles to represent the worlds of different characters in Middle Earth, it’s over 100 pages long already, the art/writing keeps gradually improving over time, and you should follow it! Like, comment, and subscribe! *dabs*
Okay I admit I’m awful at ‘marketing.’ But my point stands! Follow for queer Tookish antics over the Edge of the Wild.
You can keep up by following me here at @retellingthehobbit on Tumblr. This blog posts a new 10ish-page-long chapter once a month (on the 13th), as well as assorted WIP art :3. The first chapter on tumblr is here. (I started out posting on my main @secretmellowblog, so the earlier chapters were posted there instead.)
However, I personally recommend keeping up with the comic by bookmarking it on ao3 here or subscribing on Webtoon here.
This keeps all the chapters neatly organized in one place, and also sends you an email notification whenever it updates, which is helpful because I don't update weekly :). I currently update monthly, on the thirteenth day of every month.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy!

Today I learned that while I can now walk around the neighborhood to look at yard sales that does not mean I should, because I will spend the afternoon with super low blood pressure
I mean, I did figure that out after walking like half a block, but then I cam home and set up my own mini yard sale of just plushies, baby blankets, and quilts, and apparently "sitting outside in the sun for an hour" is too much for me physically at the moment? Definitely a learning experience lol
I did sell a few plushies, a pair of baby booties, and a quilt! And the quilt went to someone super excited about it! It was her favorite color (it matched both her nail polish and her ring)
