Mild Reality

THE ALT TEXT lol

Signed up to the BTS Chart Data app, realized I hadn't logged in to my last.fm account in 16 years????

In any case, I don't think it's any surprise I got into k-pop. It scratched that itch for SURE.

Amazing! Congrats, and well-deserved!

When it feels like your algorithm is trying to communicate with you through song titles.

It's adorable that he seems to have no idea how big BTS are lol that feels so healthy!

Of all the songs in all his albums, I never would have thought Hangsang would be the one he sexified.

Woke up feeling so little more golden this morning! Happy birthday ARMY!

It's really fun! And you can totally spot their inspo for the characters too!

Not BT21 making me cry in the morning.

On SNS you can't easily create the em dash. You either have to know the ASCII code or at the very least be using a writing software that auto-converts a double hyphen to an em dash. Add to that that most people doesn't know how to use them properly, especially most people who post crap on SNS.

Silver lining, we are blessed?

I held off on the tears until Spring Day started. And then the bawling began when Hobi yelled "We're back!"

Yeah, Joke is a no-skip for me, sad it wasn't in there, baby army need to see it!

Kinda disappointed the solo MVs didn't start with Do You and Joke, baby army should have had a chance to see them if they haven't already. I wonder if that was RM's choice.

That dinner felt quite vulnerable. They also gave us a chance to say goodbye to their dorm. They offered closure on one chapter, comfort during the transition, and hope for the future. They couldn't speak as plainly as they wanted, but still shared so much, even if we couldn't hear it all just then.

Now, to see the dinner in the context of EVERYTHING they were in the middle of preparing at that time. To know how much they had already planned, for themselves and for us. To know that they were already struggling with opening up about this, worried about the backlash. I'm so proud of them.

The second time was when I was laid off, when there was no Festa to celebrate. I watched every Festa KKUL and dinner back to back. It was incredible to watch them grow and mature, both as people and artists. And to see that final dinner as the next step and a natural evolution in that process.

I'm watching THAT Festa dinner for the 3rd time tonight. First time was live and it hit me like a truck. It was hard to hear the nuance when the overall THEY'RE LEAVING US tone (and the echoes through social media) was louder than everything.

But overall, I love unreliable narrators. So a diff POV can be good for supporting an idiots in love plot, but it will undo a lot of angst/will-they-won't-they that can build up from misunderstandings. Depends on the ultimate goal of the story and when the new POV is unveiled.

It depends on the writer. I don't like seeing the exact same scenes written out, dialogue and everything. If I get an alternate POV, I like seeing new slices in time, jumping over dialogue we already know, unless there's something really new happening during their inner monologue.

Have you read The Princess and the Pony? My kid is 13 and still loves it.

Oops I saw SMUT

I'm sure it was a bit embarrassing having everyone focus on his starpower, when everyone knows that's exactly why he was cast. But he was incredibly well-prepared with sincere stories to share. We appreciate introverts who remain graceful in the limelight!

I watched the Kian's B&B presser last night and while the mebers have always been in front of the media, seeing them with others always highlights just how intensive their media training has been over the years. Jin handled himself beautifully, always redirecting focus to his castmates.

Fluff? 🙅🏻‍♀️ Angst? 🙆🏻‍♀️

You need to do something to earn those soft moments.
