This is Changbin!

His full name is Seo Changbin and he was born in South Korea on August 11, 1999. Like Minho, he also speaks basic English, although he’s constantly improving and working on it! It was also stated somewhere, although I can’t remember where or by whom (I want to say Chan?), that Changbin can actually understand most English, and you can kind of see that when English is being spoken to him or around him. He may not be fully fluent in speaking it, but he clearly understands what is being said (which is understandable, pronunciation and speaking can be a hard area to learn when learning a new language and is actually something I always struggle with.)

Video of Changbin speaking English!

He is the third oldest in the group, but he helps Chan out a lot when it comes to helping the other members. Many of the members constantly talk about how reliable and dependable Changbin is, as well as how much of a great listener and secret keeper he is. During his 2 Kids Room with Lee Know, they talk about how their Chan’s right and left hands because they help out a lot with the other members, and you can definitely tell that, not only the younger members, but Lee Know and Chan too, respect him a lot, even if they’re constantly teasing him. But he’s also stated (somewhere, but I’m not sure exactly where) that he likes the teasing, since it means the other members are comfortable around him.

He is a member of 3Racha, which is a sub-unit within the group that consists of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han. Together (or individually), they’ve written and/or produced most (if not all?) of the songs that Stray Kids has put out.

Changbin is mainly considered a rapper in the group (but of course, all of them are multi-talented in most aspects of what they do). But he’s also a talented vocalist, dancer, songwriter and producer. (Fun fact: He actually started out as a dancer and a vocalist! But apparently, his vocal coach recommended he try rapping and the rest is history.) (Not as fun fact: Despite being a very talented vocalist, he rarely just outright sings in songs. I saw somewhere that he is insecure about his singing voice, which is unfortunate, because he sounds amazing.)

A few songs that I personally love from him:

Rap: Beware (Grrr); Miroh; Muddy Water; Mirror Mirror (a collaboration he did with two other artists); We Go

Vocals: His performance on Masked Singer; ‘Cause I Like You (a duet with Felix!); Surfin’; Neverending Story; Secret Secret

Songwriting: Streetlight; Sorry, I Love You; Cypher; Piece (a song he wrote with Seungmin) (and he wrote ‘Cause I Like You with Felix!) (Much like with Chan,I tried to stick with songs he wrote himself, but, much like Chan, he has had a hand in writing most of Stray Kids’ songs)

Many fans would consider one of Changbin’s defining physical characteristics to be his muscles. (I’m more fond of his smile/laugh, but that’s just a personal preference) He works out a lot and it shows. He’s also very open about it and clearly enjoys talking about working out and exercising.

Despite being considered the ‘dark and aggressive’ rapper of the group, Changbin clearly enjoys being cute and silly a lot of the times, and really plays up that part of his personality during a lot Stray Kids content that gets put out.

Changbin is also considered one of the loudest members, next to Lee Know. I have a video of these two being loud on his playlist below!

Changbin’s SKZOO character is ‘Dwaekki’, which is a pig and a rabbit combined. I’ve seen a couple explanations for this, and I finally got to see the video that it originated from, but I think the original explanation is that Changbin was trying to create a bunny, but everyone said the character looked like a pig. So, they combined the two and created dwaekki. People say this fits Changbin sits it’s an animal that is cute but loves food.

And that’s it for Changbin! As always, there’s tons more about him, but this are just the basic things you’ll see a lot. I’d say that the oldest three are my personal favorites. Chan was my first favorite, than Changbin, and now Lee Know. But they are all almost equal in my mind, honestly.

New Mutants Abridged: 1985

The New Mutants, the YA branch of the X-Men, are the next generation: they have to learn to control their powers and to integrate into a world that hates and fears them. As their first official spin-off, the much more coherent New Mutants are a part of the X-Men’s long, tangled history. Want to unravel this tapestry? Then read the Abridged X-Men!

(New Mutants 22 - 34) - by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz, Steve Leialoha

My favorite subplot of this year is Sam rebelling in the softest way possible by dating a rocker chick and adopting some of her wardrobe. Of course Xavier can't even abide this, the meekest of teenage resistance, because he’s the squarest of squares. (New Mutants 24)

Whereas the Uncanny X-Men in 1985 are a bit of a disorganized mess, the New Mutants are a lot more focused. We’ve got three main arcs, and the last one barely gets derailed by the intrusion of Secret Wars II! Sure, the first arc is largely disregardable, but the second arc introduces an iconic character and the third arc, while a bit sloppy, introduces an iconic villain. So let’s goOoOo!

The Cast

Psyche - Danielle Moonstar. One of the leaders, can telepathically conjure up your greatest fear or desire. Her powers are developing: she’s slowly becoming a full-on mono-target illusionist.  

Cannonball - Sam Guthrie. Other leader. Jetass with big ears. Nothin’ can hurt him while he’s blastin’. 

Wolfsbane - Rahne Sinclair. Scottish werewolf. Has terrible self hatred, which isn’t odd considering the fact that she was raised by reverend Craig who put the fear of God in her. Convinced she’s going to hell because of aforementioned werewolfishness.  

Sunspot - Roberto daCosta. Brazilian hothead.

Magik - Illyana Rasputin. Teleporter, demonic sorceress and resident bad girl. Is slowly being enveloped by a mysterious armour while using her powers. Willing to take all the risks.

Magma - Amara Aquilla. Lavamancer. Exchange student from a hidden roman village in the Amazon, still somehow very boring.

Cypher - Douglas Ramsey. Starts out thinking this is all some great adventurous caper, but soon realizes that his inoffensive powers (he’s an omniglot) mean that he’s forever out of his depth. 

Warlock. Techno-organic alien. Goofball.

Professor Charles Xavier - Telepathic headmaster, still violating boundaries all over the place. Has adopted a more ‘hands off’ teaching philosophy later, considering some events in the sister book. 

Cloakspot and Daggersbane

I know I’m not the best at keeping things short and sweet, which is partly because I tend to ramble on and partly because I’m dealing with a writer who likes to take the Neverending Story-approach to his plots and riddle them with more hooks than can ever be picked up on. (Claremont, I love you, but you’re not exactly all about the tight narrative.) In the interest of succinctness, however, we can mostly ignore the first arc of 1985, which involves Sunspot and Wolfsbane being possessed by the powers of Cloak and Dagger. It doesn’t really figure into the grand scheme of things, it’s more about Cloak and Dagger – who have never really figured into the X-mythos and are (not coincidentally!) one of the few mutants I don’t know much about – and by the end of the plot the status quo is restored: Tandy and Tyrone get their powers back, Roberto and Rahne are happy and healthy! Yay! 

Legion

And then, we check back in on Muir Isle (the Research Centre for Potential Future Plot Hooks), where a mysterious patient with truly the raddest of hair is throwing a ‘poltergeist tantrum’. It renders two of Moira MacTaggart’s aides catatonic. Oops! Since this obviously a psychic emergency (and not the kind where I can’t get up from the bathroom floor because everything is horrible), Moira calls Xavier, who comes a-flyin’ in the Blackbird, together with half of the New Mutants. (Moonstar, Wolfsbane, Cypher and Warlock.)

Whatever, Dani. It’s not like you have stellar taste in lovers, I’ve seen you flirt with Sunspot. (New Mutants 26)

Waiting on Muir Isle is Gabrielle Haller, Israeli ambassador, previous paramour of Xavier and mother of David, the trouble-causing patient. Meanwhile, somewhere on the more populated part of the island (I guess? I never know if Muir Isle is just a barren rock or if there’s a tiny little Muir Town), Rahne runs into the man who raised her, the hateful reverend Craig. He calls her satanspawn because of her werewolfishness. Rahne runs to Moira’s lab for solace and for once, Moira is actually a comforting presence and not the pragmatic worst. She even tells Rahne she considers her her daughter. (Don’t ask what happened to Moira’s son Kevin, Rahne!) Anyway, such sincere emotions must be immediately punished.

Gabrielle, meanwhile, comes clean to Xavier. She mentions how she has not regretted their affair (despite Xavier being her therapist and therefore doing a hecking breach of trust), but she has not contacted him either, because of as of yet undisclosed reasons. And then, just as Gabby starts telling about “the trauma that made David autistic” (spoiler alert: not how autism works, narrative), a massive explosion interrupts them! In the wake of the explosion, Moira and Rahne are physically unharmed, but their minds are completely blank. Uh oh! 

My google search has yielded a disappointing lack of people cosplaying as Legion with his iconic hair. C´mon nerds! Hop to it! (New Mutants 26)

Xavier, who is still recovering from the brutal beating he suffered, has to use Rahne and Dani’s telepathic connection to enter David’s fortified mind. (It’s funny how much X-Men and New Mutants are an extension of one another, only reading this one is like watching Angel without having watched Buffy.) Anyway, Xavier inexplicably deduces that David had three fractured personalities, each with their own powers: a telepath, a telekinetic and a ‘pyrotic’ (we’d call that a pyrokinetic nowadays). Xavier starts breaking through the very real metaphorical wall, but when David reveals the one secret that Gabrielle could not spit out (“Luke, I am your father son.”), Xavier’s concentration is broken. Oops! Promptly, the newly minted daddy!Professor, Gabrielle and all the New Mutants are sucked into the abyss of David’s mind. 

Legion is one of my favorite characters, but the portrayal of his autism and his what we now probably would call Dissociative Identity Disorder is… less than ideal, especially in this era. I  enjoy him later a lot more, when he becomes a fully realized character with autism rather than a plot point with a disability who sometimes triggers various dystopian alternative universes. One aspect I do love about him has fortunately been a part of the character since his inception: he is a perfect foil to Xavier. Not only because his powers are strong enough to prevent Charles from doing an easy!and!invasive!fix on them, but also because he serves a good reminder of Xavier’s foibles, on how his ideals sometimes fail him. Charles can’t control David, not through his powers and not through his rhetoric. David can always be counted on to be the reality check Charles sometimes sorely needs.

(David is also fascinating as a literary device, because the way he is treated as a character is also a sign of how much our understanding of autism and neurodiversity has changed over the last three decades. I found a great essay by Willow Callahan on the Fandomentals that unpacks that here.)

God damn, I wish this were my mind on drugs. (New Mutants 27)

This arc is Bill Sienkiewicz’ swang song for the New Mutants, but damn does he deliver some gorgeous work rendering the bizarchitecture of David’s mind. 

The group is scattered throughout this mindscape and separately, they meet three different people:

Jack Wayne, a smarmy telekinetic. He is quick to paint ‘the arab’ as the cause of the warzone in David’s mind: apparently, the violence only started when he arrived. He tries to convince Xavier to kill him, if he can. 

Jemail, the telepath, also referred to as ‘the arab’. Gabrielle recognizes him as the terrorist who killed her significant other. In the real world, an even younger David protected his mother from him and his AK-47 and killed him in self defense. How the hell he ended up in David’s mind, she has no idea.

Cyndi, the pyrokinetic, a wild card who likes the current status quo. Still, she helps Rahne and Moira rendezvous with Dani and Doug. (Doug annoyingly keeps at his running thread of feeling useless because he has no useful powers, but Dani points out that none of them have powers in David’s mind, SO FUCKING SNAP OUT OF IT. (The last bit might have been me. I’m still right though.)) 

They all meet up (sans Jemail) and Jack convinces them to journey to the center of David’s mind, where they find the boy’s memories preserved as crystals. Some are broken, some are mended. Here, they get to the core of David’s trauma, which is implied to have caused his autism (eesh): while killing the terrorists that tried to murder his mother, he felt them die in his mind. They say it fractured his psyche, although I’d say that experiencing death three times might have also caused trauma if David had been neurotypical. Then again, IAMNAP.

It also turns out that Jack has been breaking David’s memory crystals and is intent on killing the other rogue personalities so he can own David and David’s body. Jemail, who is a reflection of one of the killed man’s psyches, learned empathy and insight through David’s telepathic powers and has been trying to fix David’s shattered psyche. Jack tries to cut Jemail to ribbons with one of the shards, but Dani frightens him off with a vision that is so bizarre and outlandish (it’s of Xavier being a good dad) that Jack flinches back. She then forces Jack and Jemail to help her bring order to David’s mind and return everyone who isn’t part of David back to their bodies. 

Xavier, apparently exhausted from all the useless he was this arc, wakes up two weeks later. David is making progress, even though Jack, Cyndi and Jemail all still inhabit his mind. Xavier promises to help David and never leave him ever again. (It’s amazing this huge lie didn’t fracture David’s psyche a fourth time, but whatev. It will be at least half a decade before we see Legion again. XD )

Side-plot: Magleeto

After Warlock accidentally caused Asteroid M to crash into the Earth, an injured Magneto has charted Lee Forrester to bring him to his old C’thulu island, where the X-Men randomly decided to start living until they randomly didn’t. I love that nobody cares enough about this mysterious islet to actually figure the fuck out where all this alien architecture came from. Magneto’s like: “Yeah, this is my fuck island now.” Tale as old as time: the would be mutant supremacist softens when stuck on an island with one (1) decent human being.

After this, they fuck. A lot. (New Mutants 25)

Side plot: Hellfire Happenings

Meanwhile, the Hellfire Club admits Selene and Emmanuel daCosta into their Inner Circle. Selene is a terrifying mutant who recently terrorized an Ancient Roman city hidden in the Amazon and who is currently looking to get a foothold in the modern world, and Emmanuel is Roberto’s papi. After his son rebuked him, he decided to really embrace that villainous side. Sebastian Shaw (always a delight) isn’t too bothered by the crooked Brazilian business man but does worry that the evil, blood thirsty priestess wants to take his spot as the leader of the Hellfire Club. Smart cookie, that Shaw.

Empath, one of the Hellions, continues being the worst. No worries, we love him for it.

Gladiat-ooh-la-la

While Xavier hears he’s a daddy, we check in with the remainders back at the mansion. Shirtless(!) Sam is chasing a plane! Apparently, somebody kidnapped Sunspot and Magma, and Cannonball, despite a myriad of ‘aw shucks’ lets them get away. It’s all very in media res.

Fortunately, Magik is able to interrogate one of the assaillants, revealing they were kidnapped by a secret gladiator ring somebody runs in Hollywood. (The wtf-quotient on this plot is pretty high, ngl.) Illyana bamfs them to the West Coast, but also shifts them one week into the future. Oops! Out of options, they go to Laila (Sam’s girlfriend! She’s in a band! And an intergalactic teleporter and thief!) And… WAIT IS THAT GUIDO?!

WHY have Illyana and Guido never been on the same team? More of this snark, plz. (New Mutants 29)

It might be because the art has taken a bit of a nosedive, but holy fuck, Illyana is right on the money when she calls Guido an ‘ugly lump’. Also, Sam? Running around with teleporters means you always have time to grab yourself a shirt. 

Wait, why am I complaining? ANYWAY.

On a whim, Laila teleports them all to her own private Dyson Sphere. (Seriously, Sam, what are you doing with this girl? If you want someone capricious who looks good in black, you’ve got your pal Sunspot right there!) Laila also brought her background singer, Alison Blaire, a.k.a. The Dazzler! And Dazzler knows all about the gladiators! How fortunate! 

Man, this plot is really held together by spit and some glue, isn’t it? Anyway, Dazzler used to be one of those gladiators and might still be longing for that life. Ever since got outed as a mutant, her life has been in shambles. (She is reduced to being a background singer, you guys. And she doesn’t even have her own comic book anymore!) But as a gladiator, she could live for the applause! Life was easy! There were no worries! (Except being killed in the arena, but that's minor.)

Together with Dazzler and Lilah, Sam and Illyana infiltrate the gladiator ring. Sunspot and Magma appear, all bloodthirsty and ready to kill! Wait, what happened to them? And who knew Roberto looked so fine in his gladiator armour?

Not looking disrespectfully or nothing, but that is one hell of a codpiece. (New Mutants 29)

Apparently, some shadowy figure forced Roberto and Amara to fight, because if they wouldn’t? Some other homeless runaways would have to fight in their stead. Their heroic hands bound, the two hapless mutants descend on their invading teammates and a confusing kerfuffle breaks out. (Some of this confusion is because of the art.)

But then! We interrupt this plot for some crossover shenanigans! Xavier alerted Magneto on Fuck Island: the Beyonder is coming! (Again!) There’s some Secret Wars II-related teleporting and Magneto recruits everyone for a fight against the Beyonder, and ugh. Whatever. Amara and Roberto share my lack of interest in this ill-advised crossover, but everyone else tags along.

So. While we wait? Who is this gladiator ring where mutant is pitted against mutant for? Are there, like, a bunch of jaded, bored and most of all rich Hollywood socialites who just… do this? This is their idea of a good time? Claremont, you love your textboxes and excessive prose, you couldn’t spare a few words to try and explain this? No? Fine. 

The Secret Wars intermezzo is thankfully short, the Beyonder briefly brings out the Darkchylde for some reason I can’t be bothered to read up on. It also serves to reunite the whole team and together with Dazzler, Rachel and Shadowcat, they set out to free the gladiators, including Sunspot and Magma. So back to the main plot! 

This story is mostly about Dazzler, who hasn’t earned anyone’s trust yet. (“You’re an artist, not a hero.”) Alison is determined to prove herself and not succumb to the temptation of performing for a hungry audience, but slowly, she feels herself slipping into old gladiatorial habits… Rachel, meanwhile picks up on a strange and sinister psychic presence; that same telepathic presence snatches Kitty, forces her in a robot that looks straight out of Earthbound and forces Sunspot and Magma to fight her. 

A+ funky robot design and A+ for giving a literal new meaning for ‘chewing the scenery’. (New Mutants 30)

While all of this is happening, an as-of-yet unseen (but large-shaped) villain is gleefully watching and pulling all the strings, riling up everyone involved by telepathically possessing them or suggesting them into action. Who could this be? Whoever they are, they are hilariously over the top and perhaps my favorite part of this jumbled narrative. 

Roberto quickly figures out that the robot contains Kitty when it uses her phasing power and he helps her shake the telepathic thrall. Kitty stumbles out of the robot and it collapses, while the crowd bays for blood. (Amara is all: "Back home the crowd was never this blood thirsty", which I would doubt. I watched Rome.)

Dazzler, still possessed (uh, probably) strikes at Kitty while the cavalry arrives. Magik, fed up with this storyline, teleports Dazzler in and out of Limbo, breaking the telepath’s hold on her. The police arrive and both the audience and the gladiators flee. If you think these spectators get off scot-free… Well, apparently, they were punished by Dazzler’s singing performance, which was so earth-shattering that they’ll never forget it and nothing else will ever compare.

Mkay. I'm just saying, I saw Adele live and I can still enjoy other people's music.

Anyway, the New Mutants pursue the Ringmaster under the shadow of fatphobism (they keep calling their enemy fatso, glut, boat or blimp, and this fatphobia will be a sad but running theme this whole arc; I’ll be delving into all that in a later episode) and then, suddenly, all is revealed! Their enemy is…

It’s not necessarily bad to portray one fat person as a monster, but when the only fat people in the narrative are evil!Karma or the Blob? Not a great look. (New Mutants 31)

Karma is a bitch

Karma threatens to let her enthralled slaves cut their own throats if the New Mutants don’t let her leave, so they kind of have to let her go for now. They decide to chase her without involving the X-Men (“We take care of our own”) so they ditch Kitty, Rachel and Dazzler and go on a whirlwind chase through time and space! (Mostly involuntary.)

See, the New Mutants infiltrate Karma’s secret compound in Madripoor, because apparently all their time with Xavier has taught them that it’s easy to sneak up on a telepath. Sure, they leave Cypher and Warlock behind as, er, ‘back-up’ (mkay, Dani), but ironically, a Boy and his Bot are attacked first. (Karma knows all.) 

Karma first gloats that the professor protected well from psi-attacks, but she is a telepathic master equal to him! (This is perhaps the point where we, as readers, should figure that this isn’t entirely Karma.) She possesses all the New Mutants, except for Moonstar and Magik, who bamfs them off to Limbo. Dagnabbit! When they return, Karma’s New Mutants seem to have slaughtered Karma’s army. Whoops!

Dani picks up a lead to Egypt and bids Magik to drop them off there. Magik bams them to Egypt BC, deep in pharaoh time. They have a meet and greet with an ancestor of Storm, who sends them back, overshooting them with a mere five years! In this not-so-distant future, they meet the Bad Mutants, who are bloodthirsty monsters. Seriously, the Rowdy Ruff version of our beloved mutants is the only thing that makes all this completely unnecessary time jumping worthwhile. 

Poor Sunspot, getting grey hair at the ripe old age of nineteen. (New Mutants 32) 

Poor New Mutants. Even when they’re evil, they look like dorks. Anyway, Illyana finally warps them back to current Cairo! Here, Warlock, immune to telepathic powers, fled to Storm for help. Storm has figured out who is pulling Karma’s strings (hope she shared this with the group), but despite this, her plan of attack is the same as Dani’s previous one: a full frontal assault.

It goes badly, with Storm also ending up possessed. Sigh.

Magik and Moonstar try to flee in Warlock-as-a-plane, but when they end up cornered again, Illyana realizes they have to stop doing this. She delivers Danielle on Karma’s doorstep, seemingly betraying her friends! She then bamfs her and Warlock back to Limbo, where an incandescent Warlock attacks her, before she can reassure him. She has a wicked little plan…

But first, Magik first bamfs back to Xavier’s encounter with Amahl Farouk way back when. Let’s not dwell on how the fuck she even figured to what time to teleport to, because the narrative sure doesn’t! And, just like Storm, she figures out what’s wrong with Karma: she is possessed. By the Shadow King!

dun dun dun

Magik comes to Karma for an alliance and the Shadow Karma wastes no time tormenting her while he succumbs to the villain speech. He explains:

How his licentious night club in Cairo (and his gladiator ring in Hollywwood) are places where regular people come to be entertained by the temptation of the lurid dark for a little while, but in fact, s/he is corrupting them from within.

How he lived on the astral plane after Xavier defeated him. From there, he possessed Karma. And after he makes Ororo kill Xavier, no one will be able to stop him…

Magik thinks otherwise. Suddenly, all the New Mutants disappear, because Magik? Was actually  Warlock (robots in disguise). And the real Magik? Was bamfing her teammates to Limbo to break the Shadow King’s hold. Magik ports them back in and they smack him around until the Shadow King evacuates ~the dancefloor~ Karma’s body. They quickly figure out he took Douglas, but Karma confronts and fights Amahl on the astral plane and he finally leaves leaves to lick his wounds.

Yay! Longest arc ever over!

This could have used an editor. 

Didn’t you take Art History? Sienkiewicz is the right kind of scratchy and weird, Leialoha… less so. 

Turns evil: Wolfsbane, Sunspot, Cannonball and Magma. It’s the ‘we’re in the future and we’re evil’-variant. Funnily enough, the same happened to Sunspot and Magma last year. Best unintentional period piece: the Bad New Mutants are punk. Sam has a safety pin his ear.

I only like Mic Drop Outro and Go,,,,,,,

wanna hear your opinion on the neverending debate: who is the better defender, cypher or killjoy?

this is a super good question ... i think it's based on how you use them. ive seen nerdy-ass setups for both of them that work extremely well on defense. i dunno if this is biased but i do think cypher has a TEENSY weensy bit of an advantage with his camera, seeing as you can get important information by hearing the enemies (based on how you place your camera) or seeing them in a way you couldn't with killjoy's util.

PDJ!WHY-EN IS THE BEST WHY-EN EVER IN MY HUMBLE OPINION!!!! also i'm super curious, how did you come up with the title? :D

EEEEEEE THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! also thank u for asking me abt the title because i literally based the whole fic after it :O perpetual datejust comes from rolex oyster perpetual datejust 36!! it’s the watch yoongi wears whenever they perform cypher pt. 4 :D

i searched up the reasoning behind the name and when u say perpetual datejust, the clock would only display the accurate time as is, perpetually!!

perpetual = neverending

datejust = there are two theories why rolex named it like that!! either a) the date changes just before midnight, or b) the date is always “just”

the time never stops when you have a self-winding, perpetually ticking watch like that specific model!! also i used it somehow as a metaphor :D here are the articles i read!!

HBO Max New Releases: February 2021

https://ift.tt/2MlHkNh

When it released Wonder Woman 1984 to its HBO Max servers in December, WarnerMedia made it abundantly clear that it was ready for a new era of movie distribution. Now, in its list of new releases for February 2021, Warner is attempting another grand experiment for HBO Max.

Judas and the Black Messiah premieres on HBO Max this Feb. 12 and is by every indication the kind of film that awards shows go gaga over. Both Daniel Kaluuya and and Lakeith Stanfield look to be at the top of their respective games in this story about Black Panther Party chairman Fred Hampton and the FBI that wants to take him down. Will this have the same rhetorical oomph on the small screen? Guess we’ll find out!

Why It’s Important that Themyscira Is Back for Wonder Woman 1984

By Rosie Fletcher

The rest of HBO Max’s February 2021 offerings are uncommonly film heavy. The other two original movies of note are quite different from one another. There is No “I” in Threesome arrives on Feb. 11 and the decidedly more family friendly Tom & Jerry premieres on Feb. 26.

HBO Max will feature the U.S. premiere of It’s a Sin on Feb. 18. Beyond that, however, it’s another round of intriguing library title additions. A whole host of Batman films and DC properties arrive throughout the month including Batman (1989) and Aquaman (2018).

Here is everything else coming to HBO Max this month.

Hey guys, this is GRACE (dearmyjimin), your resident Jungkook and Jimin stan. My blog has just hit it’s first-year anniversary and I wanted to start a series of yearly follow forever posts that serve as both a personal compilation of some fav graphics of my own (so that I can track how much I’ve grown as a designer), as well as to thank everyone who has helped me in one way or another. Each and every creation was made possible because of all the support I received. I wish to thank those who follow and support me, my lovely mutuals and friends who encourage me and all the blogs I follow for decorating my dash with amazing content. I am proud to be an ARMY and to stan 7 Kings who are the sources of inspiration behind my creations ♡

Personal Messages ♡ 

@acaracahehe + @sevenkookiejars + @meitiandokaixin // my bitches whom I know irl. Thanks for recognizing and supporting my passion for gfx and art. If it weren’t for you guys, I would not have gotten my graphic tablet and would not have started drawing chibis. Thank you guys ♡.

@bwink​ // Arden, my love. I can’t really remember how we became friends, but I am really happy and thankful that I managed to befriend you. You’re really cool, sweet and I love talking to you about anything and everything. Thanks for listening to me freak out about taekook, and for sending me random tk updates when I was away on my trip♡ . 

@comeherejimin​ // Cassie, my love. You’re one of my closest tumblr friends and I’m really happy to know you. I think we’ve confided in each other about a lot of issues that graphic designers struggle with and we relate really well with each other. Tbh, I’m really proud of your work and cannot stress enough about how talented you are. I know it’s hard to not equate notes with success, but as what we’ve always discussed, your passion is more important than whether people reblog your posts or not. Also, I really appreciate how you keep encouraging me, no matter how busy you are. You’re a true friend and I wish I could reach out through the screen to hug you personally. But I can’t so I can only say thank you and ily bb, don’t ever stop believing in yourself ♡!

@exolutelyx // Samaly, my love. Our history dates back all the way when I was still ass-deep in the exo fandom. You are one of the closest friends that tumblr gave me and I’m still very thankful that we were able to meet up in Singapore. Thank you for believing in me, and for being a huge supporter of my fics. Back then when you told me how much you loved ‘A Heart’s Worth’, it comforted me and encouraged me to write better. Also, thank you for entrusting me with all your problems as like how I entrust you with mine. Come to Singapore again and let’s hang out ^^♡.

@jeonity // Aly, my dear. I really can’t remember how we became friends, but I am just really glad that we are. I really enjoy talking to you on tumblr, how we just randomly throw shit from WINGS tour, to taekook, to FMVs etc. Thanks for listening to me rant when shit happens and for understanding my end of the story unlike others. I love all your quality gifs, keep up the good work ♡.

@j-cypher // Alice, alice, alice. You’re possibly the earliest friend I made on tumblr. Back then when I first posted my ryan rapmon art and squealed at what you wrote in your tags, I couldn’t even believe that we managed to become friends. I’m really thankful for your beautiful presence, how kind you are and how genuine you are. Thank you for replying all my asks so sincerely. I remember waking up to such long replies and I just thought that I found a special flower whom I would really love to befriend. Thank you, also, for entrusting me with your problems and struggles in university. I hope whatever advice I offered helped, and that your university years will be full of nothing but joy and happiness. Thank you for supporting my art, even when no one else did. You’re really special to me and I don’t always say this, but I love you aliceu ♡ thank you bb, for all your support ♡. 

@jimiyoong​ // Doris, my love. You are one of the very first few blogs who followed me - a potato account that posts random gfxs from time to time. I cannot express how thankful I am, for all your support. With each reblog, you help my blog grow to what it is today. I’m glad to have a friend like you, whom I can scream about yoonmin or just talk about random shit. I’m also really grateful that you’d alert me about reposters on twitter. You didn’t need to do it, but you do and I just don’t know what I did to deserve you as a friend. You’re amazing bb ♡.

@kimdaily // Sabbie. You’re one of the coolest Armys I have come to know and I really look up to you as a role model. You’re really chic, cool and most importantly, kind. Thank you for helping me QC namjoon’s coloured scans. Without your help, I would not have gotten his skin colour right. Thank you, also, for using the edit I did for you on your blog’s anniversary. I was really surprised and was just really emo that you’d used it. Thank you ;~; You’re an amazing Namjoon stan and I hope you’ll get to meet him one day for coffee ^^ ♡.

@ktaebwi // Rin my dear, you’re my #1 passion-fruit-green-tea homie (yeah man)! I have a lot of things to thank you for, and the one I’m the most grateful for, was that time you helped me reblog a call-out post of this blogger who reuploaded my gfx without my permission. At that time, we weren’t mutuals and I was just surprised that you’d extend help to me (some random noobie potato plant). At that moment, the first thing that came to my mind was, “she’s so kind to help me, what did I do to deserve her help?” and that’s probably the reason why I love you, your blog and look up to you as a fellow ARMY. Thank you for your neverending patience when I scream about taekook (I tend to get carried away) and for recommending me so many lovely fics. I think you’re someone who’s really good with information, languages and the way you comprehend situations in a matured manner makes me proud to be your friend. Translating and doing gifs are hard, and you often meet cheaters and reposters, nonetheless, thank you for your hard work and the fandom is really lucky to have you ♡.

@kthish // Alex, my dear. You’re one of the sweetest, kindest, loveliest person I’ve ever come to know, do you know that? You’re really encouraging and you always send me such lovely praises for my gfx that leave me blushing and squirming all the way across the globe. Thank you love, for believing in me when I don’t believe in myself. I’m really thankful to have you as a friend and enjoy those little moments when you’d send me art, gifs etc on tumblr that just make my day brighter and happier. Thank you love, you deserve nothing but the best. Thank you for your HQ gifs and for sharing your talent with the fandom ♡.

@mewchim // Jenny, my love. idk if I have said this enough, but you’re really one of the best graphic designers I have ever come to know on tumblr. I always say this in my tags, that if you’d give me any section or corner or inch of your work, I can tell, right away, that it’s done by you. You have this amazing unique style that no one else can replicate. I get really blushie and emo whenever you reblog my stuff and add praises. You’re like a gfx designer role model to me and whenever you praise me, I get so happy my heart soars. Thank you, love, for all your support and your encouragement. I gain inspiration from your work and will never stop harping about how much I adore you and your designs. Keep up the good work. I will always support you ♡.

@minblush // Zuzu. I think I have a whole long list of things to thank you for, even if we don’t speak to each other frequently. When I first followed you, back when I wasn’t even dearmyjimin yet, I thought you are really admirable. You aren’t afraid to speak up about issues and be firm about opinions. That’s something that I can never do, and I find strength in the way you carry yourself as a jimin-stan, how you defend him better than anyone else can. Thank you for always speaking up about jimin stereotypes that aren’t true, for educating all of us even if some can’t take your words well. I get really upset when I see people argue with you, esp when they misunderstand you. Also, thank you for being with me throughout the time I had to deal with you-know-who reposting my jimin coloured scans on twitter + coming at me at full force. Thank you for giving me advice on how to deal with the situation and for listening to me. I ain’t lying when I said that I really look up to you and respect you. Thank you so much ;~; ♡.

@park-jimizzle // Steph, my love. You’re one of my favourite jimin blogs! I get really happy whenever I see your gifsets on my dash, and just marvel at how much time and effort you put into those gifsets. Thank you so much, for contributing to the fandom and for giving us such HQ gifs. Thank you for tagging me in all sorts of jimin and vmin posts, they make me really happy and they brighten up my day so much. I’m glad that I can talk to you about random stuff, from bts to just everyday life. Thank you for listening to me and for chatting with me. You’re amazing, bb ♡.

@sosjimin // Bia, my love. You’re really one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever known. You’re a living embodiment of a goddess. You’re gorgeous, pretty, kind, sweet, understanding and just really hilarious sometimes (yes, I read your tweets and wonder why am I your mutual) :D You’re amazing bb. Thank you for sharing your HQ gifsets with the fandom and for sending me words of encouragement. They mean a lot to me. You’re really easy to talk to and I know that I can scream at you about anything and everything. Thank you for loving Minjoon along with me♡. 

@sweaterpawsjimin // Whitney, my dear. The first time I started speaking to you, was last year, before the MAMA awards. Back then, I wasn’t even dearmyjimin yet, and i used to send you asks about my love for jimin, and you’d reply them so patiently. Thank you for answering them, and for listening to me gush about Jimin. My impression of you was just this selfless, patient and cool ARMY who was so damn good at making HQ gifs. Thank you for reaching out to me on twitter to talk about you-know-who reposting gifs and other people’s creations. I’m sorry that you have to deal with those people, and I’m actually really glad to see the watermarks you place on your gifs these days. Still, I’m glad for all the advice you offered me and thankful that you listened to me rant. I don’t know how we became friends, but I am glad that we did. Even if we don’t talk very often, I will support you and your blog, regardless of the direction that you wish to take. Thank you for being that amazing Jimin stan that I can look up to. Ily♡! 

@taeguk // Alicia, my love. You’re one of the sweetest girls i’ve come to know. Thank you for helping me with my taehyung and jungkook coloured scans. Without your help, I wouldn’t have been able to get their skin colours right. Also, thank you for listening to me rant when I complain about how heartbroken I get when people reupload my original creations. And you gave me a very important piece of advice that: reposters are everywhere, but what they can’t steal is the passion I hold for creating. That really kicked some sense into me and even if I get really sour about people resposting my stuff, I try to remember what you said and push myself to focus on the moment and ignore everything else that is weighing me down. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you gave me. With every reblog you made, you helped my blog grow and I’m immensely grateful for that. Thank you bb. Ily ♡.

@yoohnseok // Corey, my love. I don’t know what I did in my past life to get you as a friend, but I’m really glad that I did. You’re really one of the most approachable, loveliest ARMYs I have come to know. You take whatever shit I have, and reply my texts with all your positivity. I can’t ever forget our first kakaotalk call. I felt so flustered speaking to you, from across the globe and just can’t believe that it’s you whom I was talking to. I really love your passion for graphic designing and I remember scrolling through your gfx tag and just marvelling at your creations. Keep up the good work Corey♡. ily! 

@yoonseok // Kat, my dear. I think I can never forget the day that I plucked up the courage to speak to you. Back then when you were still syubprince and I was 95zlinez, I remember sending you a message and asking if you could do me a favour to delete what you reblogged and to reblog my edited version (cause I made some dumb error in my edit). What struck me the most was that you kindly extended the favour and even added that you liked my graphic. I think when I read your message, I had a mini mental breakdown because I looked up to you a lot (still do) and was so jittery because someone whom I respected a lot told me she liked my graphic. It was an amazing experience that I cannot forget. You were also one of the blogs that helped me grow as a designer/ artist and I cannot express how thankful I am. I don’t think I could have gotten where I am now, if you weren’t there to support me in the first place. Thank you so much♡.

@yoongsins // Jess, my love. Personally, you’re the best graphic designer that I’ve come to know. I think I’ve told you many times before, back then when I wasn’t dearmyjimin yet. Even until now, I mean every word I say, that you’re a source of inspiration to me. I’d go through your graphics tag and just be in awe with the way you design, how you challenge new styles and new perspectives. It’s something really admirable, something that I can’t ever do, and that’s the reason why I look up to you a lot. The fandom is really lucky to have you, not only for your lovely creations, but the way you inject positivity and hope in your replies. You’re also one of the earliest blogs that helped me grow as a designer. If it weren’t for your support, I doubt I could have made it this far. Thank you so much♡.
