So I see a lot of people demanding (not everyone a lot of ya'll are just excited and want more, yall are fine) that FirstKhao get a new series announced "RIGHT NOW"or already planning hate spam of they don't get one this year.
So first of all none of the permaduos get one every fucking year. They had three in two. Obviously a 2024 mock trailer popping up would be awesome and we know from an instantly from their manager they were looking through scripts that were optioned to them.
If they don't have one this year, it's because they turned those down.
Secondly they have hinted multiple times they want to do other things as well.
They are so excited to do school rangers together but all of you drowned that out at GMM2024 part 1 because no series was announced.
They also want to travel and meet fans like whe they went to Brazil and how they are going to Italy and where ever else.
ONTOP OF THOSE, they keeping talking about wanting to do either vlog or have a travel show like a lot of their friends have/had.
Any script they do chose, if they chose one will be on condition of it being scheduled around any of the other things they want to do (or a promise to get to do them after a series.
You all think the demanding is great?! It makes us soms look controlling and not caring for what First and Khaotung want.
And again if you are are someone just excitedly hoping or wanting them to have more shos together, this post isn't about that. We all want that and they do too and will decide to at some point... but the people demanding it like a toddler wanting the lollipop at the register aren't helping us get it any sooner.

I'm going to always hype up Domundi for its displays of friendship and love in its shows like Middleman's Love.
I like that Jade knows and respects his friends.
I like that his friends know him.
There is a reason King took Jade to pick out a ring for Uea. Jade knows Uea.
And Jade knows how King is.
Cause King doesn't have that name for no reason.
And Jade keeps him humble.
Even if King hates it.
But I like that Domundi always lets us see couples in love. Not just falling in love, but we get to see Uea and King in love.
AND I LOVE THAT JADE WAS RIGHT!
(I also love this kinkster)
Jade knew that it isn't about grand gestures for Uea.
Because Uea already knows King loves him.
Which is why Uea gets King coffee. It's why he pinches and bops King. It's why he put on the cat ears and collar. He loves King and doesn't need anything else.
And Uea wants that for Jade.
Because it's not about the big moments! It's about the small ones and who is there during them. Jade has been there for Uea and King and they are going to be there for him.
Because that's what friends do.

also TMI maybe but one of the great joys in my life is showing a photo of a new sex toy to friends, describing it as “modestly sized,” and getting horrified/concerned noises back

This is A+ analysis of misinformation AND the situation at hand. It also applies to the K-Pop situation happening with the Made In Abyss manga / anime right now. I want to frame this post.
How That One Only Friends Thread Demonstrated How Misinformation Operates: A Case Study (LOL)
Disclaimer: This is not really a case study but an analysis and venting room. Lol. If you are new here, this Tumblr account was originally made for my college majors so woop de woop. I am actually about to sleep but there is this one post in X about Only Friends that made me get up and type this post. I do not want to bring drama from other platforms but yenno.
If you are going to raise your brows at me for writing this, sue me, I guess. On what grounds though? Anyway, I will also not drop names like we only assign aliases akin to psychology case vignettes. After explaining the context, I will also delve into the audience's reaction to the said thread. I may be reading too much into this, actually no, because I made this yawn. I am typing this without a filter.
Anyway, this going to be a long-ass post...
Context: There is this one big account from X who is an avid viewer of Only Friends. As far as I know, big accounts are users who have a following of a thousand and above. Let us name this account user AB. According to the pinned tweet of the AB, they will translate for their fandom--the catch is, they will only translate specific scenes of the couple/ship they support. If they see that it is not related to the ship, they will cut it.
AB's Claims (aka their translation of the book):
Boston is in love with Top. Top got Boston's heartbroken that he started sleeping around and developed commitment issues.
Boston is mad at Top so he pushed Mew to Top because he thought the two would not take each other seriously--particularly Top because he is used to one-night stands.
Boston did not want to hurt Mew.
Boston is just a pookie and misunderstood character--this implies what he did to Top just makes sense
Counter-claims (from the same OF novel)
Boston sleeps around EVEN BEFORE he met Top
It was mentioned in the book that the reason why Cheum, Boston, Ray, and Mew are friends is because they are all rebelling against the standards set by society. Fact 1: It was actually established in the book that Boston hates living in the shadow of his father who is a respected politician. Fact 2: Boston sleeps around and is popular for giving people benefits. As such, he was threatened once to be exposed by the senior with whom he had an encounter. Said senior wanted them to stay for some time so they could brag about dating the politician's kid.
2. Will not argue with this one but come to think of it, Boston knows what he is signing up for. It was mentioned countless times that Top sleeps around and thinks of people as one-night stands. Top even created a rule and once they exceeded that certain time period, bye bye. The same goes for Boston. Even in the series, Boston does not want to have romantic relationships.
3. Boston ACTUALLY wants to hurt not JUST Top but Mew
If you looked for snippets of the novel, Boston actually called Mew bland. BLAND. Idk but calling your friend bland just because you think you are the BEST and is jealous is hmmm...
This leads us to...
4. Boston is not a pookie character, folks, and it is okay to admit it
He actually SAed Top. It was even stated in his POV that Boston forced himself to Top because he wanted to show him that he was better than his bland friend Mew. Yep. He is mad. He is jealous. He called his friend bland at that time because insecurity reared his ugly head.
To be honest, people have favorites and biases. I have one. You have one, too.
What I did not actually like is how AB specifically stated that they would not translate the parts except their favorite ship but cherry-picked translating aka interpreting Boston and Top's relationship.
As such, there are specific parts that are lost: like how AB did not include the part where Boston SAed Top. In the novel, it was much more detailed. Top actually had difficulties breathing to the point of almost losing consciousness. Yep, that is how extremely unsettling it is in the novel. He pushes his lower body to Top even if does not respond to him--because at that time, he is already in love with Mew.
So why am I writing all of this? I mentioned that everyone has biases but why? It is because I disliked misinformation and at the same time, I find it amusing how a simple fan's sentiments of Only Friends is actually a prototype of misinformation operations that can be/is applied in political spaces.
How is it similar to how the dissemination of misinformation works?
ONE: The thread has a deliberate omission of some information. Certain parts of the translation are cherry-picked because of their biases and yes, this is not the first time AB demonstrated their dislike for TopMew. This time, it is done in a subtle manner.
TWO: The thread evokes certain emotions in the audience. Like I've said earlier, we all have biases and certainly, we feel sad for our favorite character or celebrity especially if we think that they are underdog. An exemplary example of this is the way people feel sympathy for underdog politicians.
See how the Philippines voted for Duterte because he is a simple man who had no machinery but an honest mouth (actually just foul-mouthed and straight-up crap anyway). They also reelected Marcos Jr., aka the son of the dictator Marcos Sr., to the position. All because of misinformation.
In Only Friends, only Boston and Nick have no definite endings. Now that the two pairs ended up together but not them, fans of the ship are more vulnerable and easily swayed by emotions.
The comments of the users who interacted with the thread goes along the lines of: "Wow! I hate Top even more!" "Boston is just a baby who is misunderstood!" "He is my pookie. Sadlyf." "They did my baby Boston dirty."
THREE: The said emotions and ingrained ideas by the sources make it easier for people to ignore fact-checking and consume only what is available to them. You might think that I am unfair for comparing fandom reactions and sentiments to much serious world problems but like I said, this is a prototype. A mini reflection. Almost.
The most frustrating part is that some people do not bother to fact-check it--like if AB really has a book and is translating it based on the content OR AB is actually interpreting it, adding and subtracting things.
In addition, AB cannot give the page number of the source material so those who have the novel can check if what they are saying is true.
I mean this is not an isolated case. Even K-POP fandoms and the like are like this.
It just happens that this case unfolded in front of my eyes like wow. I need to write/type that. LMAO.
FOUR: AB's thread is a mini echo chamber
Once a fan/internet user is trapped in their own echo chamber and only sees things they like, they will most likely think that everything is true and what they believe is true is true. This is similar to algorithms used in misinformation and disinformation operations.
Going back, if you checked AB's post, a lot of people liked it and retweeted it. It has high engagements because AB is a big account. Let us face it, not everyone has the money to buy a book and they will consume what is available to them. The very same people are the ones who will engage with the post and retweet the hell out of them to show support.
Those who will correct the information AB has given will be ignored because people choose to believe the source. Like who cares if AB is wrong? It satisfies my ego too. Lol.
This is why YouTube removed the dislike button because it is a way for people to silently agree or disagree on something. This is also true for X.
The said echo chamber makes misinformation easier to spread. What is worse is if the source has a stable following aka large audiences.
I know, people will raise their brows and say that I am in an echo chamber too by liking Mew and to a certain extent TopMew but hahaha. Anyway...
If you are still reading this, wow! I hope you are still okay. Lol. I am sorry that I analyzed this thing way too much (in reality, I do not, I am actually typing the first thing I can think of).
I am sorry not sorry that the thread and the fandom behavior is just something that I had to bring it here and write. If people will criticize me for this, then, please be my guest. Lol.
Like did user devyuance just compare a thread to misinformation? Why not other threads? Why this one? I mean, this is something that I know of soooo. Wild? I mean, I just said what I said. The reason why my username is devyuance is because of deviance.
Sidenote, if you are still a college student in social sciences and searching for a research topic, you might want to delve deeper into this!
Raise your brows. Idc. Bye.

It's really weird that sex and not violence is what upsets people.
I've experienced abuse in all its forms and like... Focusing on just sex stuff that upsets you in media is super weird. It makes it seem like a hangup more than a concern to be quite frank.
Violence? Murder? Torture? A-OK. ✅
Emotional abuse. How romantic! ✅
Anything that even breathes in the direction of suspect when it comes to sex. Immediate scandal. ❌
Do you not see an issue here?

This is wild. I'm 47 years old and I see my younger coworkers struggling where I am honestly the tech wizard around the lab.
My first career was in IT and I was 100% self taught. I was the tech lead on a help desk that supported 500,000 users.
And then there's the people I work with... I had a coworker who was in her early 20s who didn't understand how to double click an icon on the desktop. It's completely and utterly baffling.
seriously, though. i work in higher education, and part of my job is students sending me transcripts. you'd think the ones who have the least idea how to actually do that would be the older ones, and while sure, they definitely struggle with it, i see it most with the younger students. the teens to early 20s crowd.
very, astonishingly often, they don't know how to work with .pdf documents. i get garbage phone screenshots, sometimes inserted into an excel or word file for who knows what reason, but most often it's just a raw .jpg or other image file.
they definitely either don't know how to use a scanner, don't have access to one, or don't even know where they might go for that (staples and other office supply stores sometimes still have these services, but public libraries always have your back, kids.) so when they have a paper transcript and need to send me a copy electronically, it's just terrible photos at bad angles full of thumbs and text-obscuring shadows.
mind bogglingly frequently, i get cell phone photos of computer screens. they don't know how to take a screenshot on a computer. they don't know the function of the Print Screen button on the keyboard. they don't know how to right click a web page, hit "print", and choose "save as PDF" to produce a full and unbroken capture of the entirety of a webpage.
sometimes they'll just copy the text of a transcript and paste it right into the message of an email. that's if they figure out the difference between the body text portion of the email and the subject line, because quite frankly they often don't.
these are people who in most cases have done at least some college work already, but they have absolutely no clue how to utilize the attachment function in an email, and for some reason they don't consider they could google very quickly for instructions or even videos.
i am not taking a shit on gen z/gen alpha here, i'm really not.
what i am is aghast that they've been so massively failed on so many levels. the education system assumed they were "native" to technology and needed to be taught nothing. their parents assumed the same, or assumed the schools would teach them, or don't know how themselves and are too intimidated to figure it out and teach their kids these skills at home.
they spend hours a day on instagram and tiktok and youtube and etc, so they surely know (this is ridiculous to assume!!!) how to draft a formal email and format the text and what part goes where and what all those damn little symbols means, right? SURELY they're already familiar with every file type under the sun and know how to make use of whatever's salient in a pinch, right???
THEY MUST CERTAINLY know, innately, as one knows how to inhale, how to type in business formatting and formal communication style, how to present themselves in a way that gets them taken seriously by formal institutions, how to appear and be competent in basic/standard digital skills. SURELY. Of course. RIGHT!!!!
it's MADDENING, it's insane, and it's frustrating from the receiving end, but even more frustrating knowing they're stumbling blind out there in the digital spaces of grown-up matters, being dismissed, being considered less intelligent, being talked down to, because every adult and system responsible for them just
ASSUMED they should "just know" or "just figure out" these important things no one ever bothered to teach them, or half the time even introduce the concepts of before asking them to do it, on the spot, with high educational or professional stakes.
kids shouldn't have to supplement their own education like this and get sneered and scoffed at if they don't.

Bruh, Android isn't hard to use. What has Apple done to (checks ages) Gen Z? I dunno what this poor man is struggling with.
Look at all three of the mainstream keyboards I have installed on my phone — they are all very straightforward as to where the dang emoji are San. Even on the 10-key Hangul, it has these dedicated keys.
Silly lad. This is just pure Apple snobbery.
