TWITTER SUCKS! > thirty-five! my other half
Tumblr media
synopsis > who knew you could become famous overnight for paying $8 for a single blue checkmark? however, it does come with consequences…what happens when the actual BELIFT Lab comes knocking at your door. all because you simply impersonated your bias.
masterlist | previous | end
a/n: i am so sorry this took soooo long but i was procrastinating and i was mentally recuperating. blaming my studio project for this 😍 this is the final chapter of TWITTER SUCKS! it's also a little chaotic and honestly have a feeling i lost my writer's touch since i haven't wrote in a long time. however, thank you for joining me on this ride and sticking around till the end! I will be coming back with more writings and hopefully continuing with the series that I had before! of course, the new smau that will come out eventually ‘Collie Duty’ which I have no plans to release just yet😪 but it will be released maybe in the second half of 2023!
Tumblr media
[placing this in case the read more messed up]
who knew after an incident that so happened to go viral. to the point where you were kidnapped and threatened to be sued by BELIFT, would actually get you to meet lee heeseung and be his girlfriend.
the past 7 months you could never have thought that. it had only been 7 months but it felt like a whole year when it happened. somehow it felt nostalgic looking back the tweets you had. it was hectic. complete 0.01% chance of this happening to anyone in the world. yet, somehow you were blessed to have gone through this.
you managed to steal heeseung’s heart. you made new friends but they’re actual idols (read: enhypen). you became famous. fought a company for a stupid reason which was that you were impersonating their idol. you even kicked a creepy staff out of BELIFT! which, you weren’t surprised. she’s a sasaeng at this point. maybe worse.
but oh my god, dating lee heeseung. it’s such a blessing-
“princess?” heeseung waves his hand in front of you. “are you having an inner monologue or something?” he snorts.
you rolled your eyes, “do you never have an inner monologue?”
“no? why would I?”
“lame. you ain’t in your main character era.”
“princess, I’m always the main character and you know it.” he smirks. you shoved him lightly.
“god, you’re starting to sound like sunghoon.”
“hmm, it’s as if I haven’t been living with him for the past 3 years.” he says with sarcasm.
“did you and sunoo have some sass off or something? why are you so sassy today?”
“sorry, I just don’t understand why some ENGENEs don’t appreciate the dancers’ hard work. I mean I get they’re girls but fucking hell, we’re just dancing to the choreo given to us.”
“well, do you want my honest opinion?”
“oh are you jealous too, princess?” he smirks a little.
“yeah, I am but i’m jealous of you. not the dancers. they’re hot. do you have their numbers by the w-”
“no. I don’t text the dancers so you can’t have their numbers.” he sulks.
“aww, is my little heeseung angy.” you cooed at heeseung. he huffs.
“angy isn’t even a word.”
“in my books it is and besides you’re so cute when you’re jealous.”
“I thought you’d be mad.”
“pfftt why would I be mad. I know it’s just a dance, you’ve practiced this for months. which makes it even better for the chemistry.”
“yeah but my part has you know…”
“what? her just literally trailing her hands on your arms? I mean it did get me jealous but at the end of the day, who are you kissing?” you smirked.
“you…” heeseung pouts.
“exactly.” you smiled. “i’m not worried about you cheating on me, heeseung. besides, I don’t think you could cheat on me because you love me too much.”
“you’re right.” heeseung grabs your hand and squeezes it. “I love you too much for that.”
“that’s my boy.” you proudly say.
meanwhile, on the other side of the wall.
“jayyyyy.” mae whines. jay smirks.
“what is this? my girlfriend is acting all whiny? it’s like you and (name) noona switched bodies.”
“urghh i’m sorry i’m having period cramps.” mae complains. jay’s eyes widened.
he gasps, “my queen is in pain? oh my god, let me go grab tons of period care things!” jay runs out of the room.
there was a scream across the hall.
“YAHHH NISHIMURA RIKI!!! DID YOU USE MY FACIAL WASH???” subin yells.
there were a couple of haste footsteps, which only meant…
“NOONA WAIT!” ni-ki yells out. let's all pray for ni-ki that he gets out alive safely.
"YAH YAH! break it up!" jungwon yells.
both you and heeseung could hear the commotion in the background but you could careless about what was going on because...
"it's you and me against this world, princess." heeseung purrs.
"are you trying to seduce with 'Bite Me' or something?" you deadpans.
"what? no-" heeseung sighs. "forget it. I was just being romantic."
you narrowed your eyes at heeseung, "anyways, i heard you guys are gonna start with world tours soon."
"ah, right. the 'fate' world tour. will you be watching it?"
"do you think i'm made of money? heeseung, i'm a broke college student."
"you have a job?"
"a mere cafe job. that's gonna take me months to save up. i could even barely afford to buy the ‘Dark Moon’ album.” you huffed.
“aww, princess. you have me, I could’ve gotten the albums for you for free and I could’ve thrown my photocards in there for extras.” he pinches your cheeks.
"now where is the fun in that? i like the surprise element of opening albums."
"and if you don't get any of my photocards?" heeseung folds his arms.
"then too bad. oh right, i saw jay looking sooo hot in that vampire photocard-"
heeseung shuts you up with a kiss. there were screams at the door and they were both from jake and sunghoon. you couldn't fully make out what they were saying. something about how mae and jay were busy being chummy, sunoo and subin pinching each others cheeks and then kissing each other.
you couldn't bother to focus on them. not when you have such a hot boy kissing you right on the lips. the same hot boy who was also your boyfriend.
and you couldn't ask for anything better than this.
you were happy.

Tumblr media
MARK LEE
boy's shy asf. he had a crush on you- that was painfully obvious and when your fans point it out, he's shy asf. after he finds you two trending on twitter, bros red asf first.
after that he's gonna send you a message asking if you were uncomfortable with all this- because he cares, he doesn't and would never want to put you in an awkward position. when you tell him how you find this cute, he'd be elated bro.
you know he's making and discussing with his members on how to ask you out fr. 
RENJUN HUANG
he's gonna pretend like it doesn't affect him. like 'yeah, we get shipped together so what' types. he likes you of course, but his whole personality is about being cool- so he is cool. 
that is until you send a post you came across about how he looks at you while your talking, and boy is he embarrassed. he's gonna play it off cause it's text but when you see him again the next day for a shoot, he'd be too shy to meet eyes.
he wouldn't ask you out instantly because he wants to make sure, you knew each other better before moving to the next step.
JENO LEE
confused. what did he do that his fans are shipping you two? but he enjoys it for sure. like come on, the way he looks at you, bro like you're the only person that matters to him. you're fans definetly caught on that.
he'd be funny about it. well, not like make jokes about it but take it with a pinch of salt. you two would be sharing moments captured by your fans, and tease each other about it for long until-
he actually becomes serious and asks you out.
HAECHAN LEE
it isn't haechan if he doesn't tease you. boy is gonna scroll through to all the 3 million tweets to find the one tweet where you are the one simping for him and not the other way around. calls you adorable, ruffles your hair and all that just to make fun of you, and to give your fans more to write about.
but when you send back all the other tweets where he is literally staring at you with heart eyes, boy's is gonna be shy. he's gonna start acting defensive and shit. you'd find it so adorable that you'd tease him too.
after a few months of frequent teasing, you'll finally ask him out cause he was taking ages. even though he finds it hot, he whines because he wanted to be the one to ask you out.
JAEMIN NA
man he's smiling. like always, while looking at you, while hearing you speak, while scrolling through all the tweets, while watching your moments on youtube. he's just so lovestruck it's concerning. 
after he sees how much your fans support you two, he won't hide his crush anymore. bro will randomly hug you, set your hair for you, click pictures- all the boyfriend material stuff without even being your boyfriend. 
it would take him not long to ask you out, and from them you two would be gracing the world with your presence as a couple.
CHENLE ZHONG
shy- nah maybe cocky. as soon as he notices how your fans have been screaming for the both of you, he's smiling. he'll make more moments for you two cause he can.
because your fans enjoy you two together- he'd frequently take you out to eat, your crush him would grow stronger during these times- not because he's treating you but because you enjoy his presence.
you two appearing on each other's lives would be so frequent that your fans are sure you're dating. he asks you out and yeah the rest is calm.
JISUNG PARK
boy's blushing so much. you are done shooting and go home when he notices the hashtag on twitter. smiling, and blushing cause he loves it but is shy too.
the next time he sees you again, he won't be able to maintain eye contact because he's too flustered to look at you. when you're not looking though, he'd steal glances.
when it comes to asking you out, his members have to reassure him that you feel the same- and after hours and hours of convincing boy will confess.

Lee Kern on Hamas #1
FIRST IN A SERIES OF SUBSTACKS THAT CONTAIN EVERYTHING I’VE WRITTEN ON THE ATROCITIES PERPETRATED AGAINST ISRAEL (AND THE CIVILISED WORLD) BY HAMAS
INTRO
On October 7th 2023 the Palestinian Islamic Fundamentalist Terror Organisation HAMAS committed an atrocity in Israel. Their crimes against humanity included rape, torture and the murder of over 1400 people including babies. They live streamed their crimes to the internet in a move to designed to add degradation to the victims and to instill fear and terror in Jews and the civilised world. 
Since this war on Jews and civilisation began I’ve been devoting huge amounts of time trying to provide simple, no-nonsense analysis that offers humour, Jewish pride and morally just aggression. The latter is important. You can be equipped with the best information in the world, but if you don’t have the courage to go out there and say it, what’s the point. 
It also communicates our need to stop being defensive and playing into the hands of Hamas. Their tactic is to throw all manner of accusations at Israel so that so we’re constantly being prosecuted and having to justify ourselves. We are not on trial. They are the guilty ones. They committed this atrocity. There needs to be less explaining and more attacking. Go on the offensive. Every time they pull us into rebuffing some absurd lie they are distracting the world from what they did to Jewish men, women and children and why people are now suffering in a legitimate war of self-defence. Keep the spotlight on them always. They are Islamic fundamentalist, muslim supremacists - racist terrorists who kill babies and non-Muslims. They are sadists and torturers. They are killers of gays and rapists of women. An ISIS style gang of criminals. Britain and America gave no ceasefire for the Nazis and there can be no ceasefire for Hamas - villains who have picked up the torch of Nazism. There is no prospect for peace for anyone in the Middle East until the world eradicates them. This is the only thing that can create conditions for some kind of future to be discussed.
As this content has proven popular, I am collating it here in a series of articles titled LEE KERN ON HAMAS. The articles will be numbered. This is the first.
These are resources for everyone. The vocabulary, language and ideas are yours to use. Feel free to screengrab and share the tweets if that’s easiest. Share this resource to your friends, family, followers, the uninformed, the hostile - anyone you think needs to see it.
Finally, whilst some of the content is entertaining, this isn’t entertainment. There is a war against us. It’s end goal is extermination. Those of you who haven’t lost family have had time to absorb the initial raw pangs of horror. It’s now time to bounce back and act. It’s up to you to pick up the slack and fight for those who have died, those who are still kidnapped, and the immediate family of victims who may be too traumatised.
Let’s win this war for them.
We are an incredible people and none of us will let each other down.
Lee

NOT the one direction take that is SO correct. I am desperate to know what the opinions of all of the gaang are on 1d - the only personal headcanon I have on that is that Sokka gets really really mad whenever Katara tells him that one direction are as influential as the beatles. also I think Ty Lee might be a larry
ok full disclaimer i was firmly a 1D hater in their heyday and i still hate everything about them except for that tweet that's like "niall should petrol bomb you." i love that tweet.
aang doesn't seek out their music or anything about them but has a lot of secondhand information on zayn via katara and has listened to some of their music (once again, via katara) but he personally thinks that niall seems like the best one and this makes katara super angry.
katara loves zayn and thinks the other ones are interchangeable, except for harry styles, who she hates specifically because she thinks he's taking attention from away from zayn. she'll grumble about how the only people who like harry styles anyway are white girls and fags and sokka's just like "....as opposed to people who enjoy...... the other members of this terrible manufactured boyband?" and she screams at him about how he doesn't understand ANYTHING, at which point he immediately leaves the room. she probably also has really strong opinions on which of their albums / songs are the best, but i don't know any of their songs except for the one that's like na nana na so idk.
sokka would be fully neutral on 1D if not for katara. because of her he hates them, but he does also think that zayn is hot and harry styles sucks (he's making gnc bi guys look bad) so at least they can agree on that. also he loves that tweet that's like "niall should petrol bomb you" katara showed it to him because it made her crack up and ever since they say it to each other constantly.
toph loves telling katara that she thinks zayn is ugly just to see how long it will take once katara starts going off about how "shes such a stupid dyke she'll never understand his beauty" for her to be like. "oh....... right. well fuck you anyway toph."
zuko gets into a really big fight with katara over whether or not harry styles is "actually gay". zukos like "sure he can wear an ugly little outfit but has he ever sucked a dick" and kataras like "well he could be a gay virgin. you of all people should know what that's like." and they get into a screaming match that ends in tears. and the whole time it was over the most pointless subject ever because there is no good answer and both of them dislike him.
suki only listens to women singing. her ears are literally unable to register male vocals. all the boys in that band look like blobs to her. katara knows better than to broach the subject with her. suki lives in carefully-curated ignorance of any and all boybands. she is free.
azula's go-to response any time she hears anyone talking about them is to just say "i hope they die in a fire." she's absolutely furious, though, when she says that in sokka's vicinity and he has the audacity to laugh. he's not allowed to agree with her!!!!
ty lee doesn't actually like them but she knows how much it annoys azula so sometimes she'll pretend to like them and then act like she couldn't hear azula when she said her de facto line until azula is screaming "I SAID. I HOPE THEY DIE IN A FIRE!!!! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME TY LEE!!!!!!!!" at which point ty lee calmly looks up at her from where azula's standing on the table like "yeah girl. we all heard you the first time."
when mai is hanging out with both azula and ty lee she'll take ty lee's side by doing the bit with her, but when she's alone with either one of them or with anyone else she's just like "i hope they get compressed in an industrial molding machine." "i hope they all drown in a really big puddle." "i hope they disappear in the bermuda triangle." "i hope they all fall over at the same time and hit their heads on one another's heads." "i hope they get petrol bombed." etc.

tw: suggestive, illegal businesses, gang!AU, rich kid!Chan, smoking, mentions of weapons and shady deals, cursing, slight manhandling, Wonwoo is mean as fuck (and a tad bit violent), Chan is kinda.....fruity, inspired by this tweet
Tumblr media
"He's such a fucking brat, I swear to God."
"I am not going to deal with his attitude anymore, I need to protect whatever sanity I have left!"
Seungcheol rubs his temples in annoyance as he listens to the complaints of his subordinates, anger bubbling dangerously in his chest.
"Do any of you realize that this is the goddamn son of the corporate head of Lee enterprises?" The leader grits his teeth, "If we get him to speak, it's game over for these fuckers."
"Boss, he's insufferable!" Mingyu protests, "There's no fucking way he'll speak!"
"I second that." Vernon supports the previous statement.
"Let me try, then."
The three men turn their attention to the only person who remained silent this whole time - Wonwoo.
"What makes you think you can get him to talk?" Mingyu raises a questioning eyebrow.
"I have my ways," Wonwoo puffs out a cloud of smoke, tapping the cigarette with his pointer finger.
"Go ahead then," Seungcheol speaks and Wonwoo walks towards the other room.
"Jeon."
"What now?"
"The gun. Leave it here."
"....Fine." Wonwoo sighs and takes out his weapon from behind his back, putting it on the small table.
"You better not get too rough with him, bro." Vernon warns.
"No promises."
Tumblr media
"Oh my God, y'all are so fucking funny!" Chan wheezes from his chair, his pearly whites flashing under the dingy lamp.
Wonwoo takes a drag from his cigarette, silently watching the young man laughing his heart out and making fun of his fellow gangsters.
"Like, the other two were so quick to run with their tails between their legs, soooo easy to annoy them!"
Wonwoo takes another drag from the cigarette.
"You're way too silent though, sitting there all cool and scary looking with your cig," the younger man cranes his neck, hands fiddling with the ties around his wrists.
Wonwoo throws his cigarette on the ground, snuffing it out under his boot and he gets up from the chair, walking towards the captive.
"Oh so you actually can react- Whoa!" Chan yells when Wonwoo flattens the sole of his boot on his chest, kicking him down on the ground with a loud thud.
"What the fu-"
"You had your fun, pretty boy," Wonwoo licks his bottom lip, "Now you better start talking about your daddy's dirty dealings - before you get into more trouble."
"Ooh, so tough and scary," Chan chuckles, but it's short-lived, as he feels a sharp sting on the back of his head.
"You don't want to mess with my temper, kid." Wonwoo glares at the rich kid, one hand deeply rooted into his blue hair, the other fisting his silk necktie.
"That just makes me wanna mess around with you, big guy."
The older man pulls the tie harder than before and slots his thigh between Chan's legs, completely overpowering him.
"Oh, you're really tough and scary!"
"You're so fucking lucky I didn't bring my gun with me, boy." Wonwoo growls, voice dropping several octaves, "Otherwise things would have gotten really tough and scary."
The last sentence sends a chill down Chan's spine and straight between his legs. No one has ever treated him so...lowly.
And it turns him on beyond comprehension.
"That...was so fucking hot," Chan admits with a loud exhale, feeling his dress pants tighten around his crotch, "What's your name, hot guy?"
"Does it matter?"
"It matters to me!"
"Wonwoo."
"H-Huh?"
"My fucking name, you idiot," Wonwoo clicks his tongue in annoyance.
"Mmm, hot name for a hot guy like you." Chan flashes a sultry grin.
"Stop fucking around, kid." The gangster grips the collar of the boy's shirt, accidentally ripping the top two buttons open.
"Take it easy now, will ya?"
"I'm not your fucking daddy, you rich little bitchboy," Wonwoo grips Chan's jaw, "So start talking before I bruise up your pretty face."
"No need for that, Wonwoo."
"Oh?"
"I'll just spit up everything I know!"
"What's with the sudden change of heart?"
"Just hoping to strike a good deal with you."
"Do you really think you're in a place to strike deals?"
"For the info I can provide? Definitely."
Wonwoo stops for a few seconds and he pulls Chan back up, the chair he's tied to back in its previous stance.
"Start speaking up."
"I didn't even say my terms!"
"Have you even thought of any?"
"Well...." Chan licks his lips seductively.
"I can definitely think of a few things."

The Phantom of the Opera | Seoul, South Korea | 조팬텀 x 손크리 Review 4/6
October 13, 2023 - Matinée
The Phantom of the Opera | 조승우 Jo Seung-woo
Christine Daaé | 손지수 Sohn Ji-soo
Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny | 송원근 Song Won-geun
Carlotta Giudicelli | 이지영 Lee Ji-young
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Final boss of ticketing, Jo Seung-woo! The last one I snatched out of the four in one single ticketing after an hour of suffering. He's a pretty big actor who sells out shows quickly and has also been in dramas and movies. By the time you make it into one of his schedules' seating charts, the seats are all grayed out. So I had to keep refreshing and playing fucking whack-a-mole with the single color specks for any released seats that would pop up. One time I even even made it all the way to confirming payment and it said someone else took it. I actually thought I was about to turn into the Joker. But I am stronger! I won! And after seeing his performance in person? It was worth the fight.
I'll start this off with this tweet:
Tumblr media
Shoutout to the guy next to me that was in shambles crying through his binoculars I hope he lived. Admittedly I did get teary-eyed myself! Which is quite an accomplishment even if it wasn't full blown tears like when seeing Ju-taek because I thought I was immune to this show after so long! But this is like uber sad pathetic wet cat man. My seat was actually a great unobstructed view with lots of space in the aisle. The Charlotte is so small that absolutely any view here is a good one especially if you have a pair of opera glasses/binoculars. Also I was safe from the piercing screams of the ballet girls! Hurray!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hannibal Rehearsal
I really thought "I'll only use my binoculars for the major scenes with the trio because it's too tiring to hold them up", but that was a lie because I loved observing the supporting cast and ensemble too much. This time I watched for the smaller details like Christine quietly singing along to herself on the side while Carlotta was singing 'Think of Me'. Both Christines do it, but I remembered to look for it this show :') Kim Ah-seon had been clearly still recovering from being sick the previous performances, but I think she finally had her strength again this show. I love how elegant and dignified she is and her strong line delivery
The Mirror
Hearing Raoul's voice made the Phantom shoot a dark glare towards the dressing room door. Then, with the slightest smirk, he invited Christine into the mirror. Is somebody proud they managed to swipe the girl from the pretty young rich boy tonight? Ha
Tumblr media
First Lair | POTO / MOTN / STYDI
Even if he's like...the most sad sewer creature-y of the Phantoms he's still got his charm okay! His voice isn't very strong, but I think he was able to handle it well enough during my show. He sounds older than he is actually is to me. How do I elaborate without making it sound backhanded? Even though he struggles in some areas with his singing, I think his vocal color is still suited for the energy his Phantom has. I'm just going to have to hope you understand me 😭 Whatever he lacks in that department, he certainly makes up for it in acting. It seems like he never stops onstage, like he's always making so many little choices at every moment. So it was a bit hard to keep track of everything he did because he was constantly doing something and was really immersed. I liked the sort of dreamy delivery of the beginning lines like the whispered way he sings "어둠...속에 - in the darkness". Halfway through the song he seems to build a little more enthusiasm seeing how open she is to him. He used more soft hand movements to act out certain parts of the lyrics like both his ear and then his body when he sang 들어, 느껴 - hear it, feel it". It's like really wanted to paint a clear picture of his mysterious beautiful dark world of music for Christine. I liked when he did a gesture with his hands like energy bursting free when he sang his big note in “네 영혼 다시 태어날 순간 / The moment your soul will be reborn” (let your soul take you where you long to be). This version of the line is unique to his Phantom. He smiled a lot and although he had a bit of a slight odd nervous energy, he still managed to maintain eye contact with her most of the time. Once he finally held her, he rested his head on her shoulder and whispered his words into her ear. 👀 He looked really worried and tried to catch her when she fell. After putting the cloak on her, I think he went to touch her, but stopped himself feeling a bit nervous. He put his hand on his chest instead to finish his final note
Tumblr media
"Fake it til you make it" was working so well until it wasn't. Whatever confidence he built up during MOTN...bye. He's a little scary at the end when he shrieks out the 'Curse you!' and an extra 'No!' But most of all he's just really sad. When he asked her "what did you hope to see?" while chasing her, his voice sounded hurt and there was fear in his eyes. Like why, why did you have to be curious when I actually had it under control somehow? He slid slowly to the ground in defeat halfway through the song when he began the crawl. He eventually stopped making an effort to cover his face on his way toward her. Maybe he was so destroyed he didn't have the energy to. I liked how natural his acting felt here. It was tragic without being over the top. But I felt this about a lot of his choices in general
All I Ask of You (Reprise)
What a sad little man, completely a wreck. He covered his ears pleading "그만 제발 그만 크리스틴 다에 ! - Stop, please stop, Christine Daaé!" There should be a Christine Daaé name drop counter for Jo Phantom. He loves to say her name!!
Why So Silent? / Notes II
Taking focus away from the main roles for a moment, André is sooo extra stressed by this point. He fumbled the score when the Phantom tossed it to him. He does this every show, but this time I only just noticed him quickly doing sign of the cross during Notes II when they were opening up letters. He got super jumpy Also, Firmin and André start laughing to each other and making silly gestures making fun of Piangi when the Phantom starts attacking him in his note, but as soon as he addresses them, oh it suddenly really wasn't funny anymore!
Tumblr media
The Point of No Return
Somebody help this man he already got jumpy simply just hearing her start to sing. 🤭 JSW Phantom seemed like the weakest one here across from Christine. He’s writhing terribly and gripping himself He was startled the most when she was close behind and he began to tremble. But when Christine finally touches him he moaned a little. It wasn't very loud, but it definitely was there and he threw his head back. His hands reached up to his face as he looked up before he finally held hers. This proposal was a mess. He got down on one knee at one point, but then he got too freaked out and shot right back up again as if he realized it was too vulnerable of a position to be in. When he was unmasked, he didn't scream and it was actually really heartbreaking to me. Like I do love a good scream, but ouch. His face dropped and he froze in complete shock looking like he'd been stabbed in the heart. His eyes darted around for a moment seeing everyone watching him like a trapped animal. It took him a moment to snap out of his daze and run off with her.
Tumblr media
Down Once More / Final Lair
After throwing Christine, he almost looked regretful like he realized he was too hard, but then tried to push forward. Because he was fueled by anger, he didn't hide his face away as much like usual. It was still clear he was very actively disgusted by it. He touched his face for a moment after he let go of her and then immediately wiped his hand on his thigh. This performance he was actually able to look into her eyes when giving her the bouquet instead of looking down in shame. When he picked up the mirror bride to toss her he sang his lines into her ear in a whisper and actually very gently just plopped her on the ground instead of throwing her. I love this weird little detail I won't lie...it was kinda cute and silly that he had to hop a little to reach Won-geun's neck with the lasso haha. It's not supposed to be cute but I find it cute okay. He covered his ears while crying when she was coming over to him before the kiss :( After the first kiss it looked like he put his face in her shoulder for a moment, but still didn't have his hands on her. He seemed to give in a little for a second, but then took her hand off his head, looked at it for a moment, and gently wiped it with his sleeve like he couldn't let her have his filth taint her... When he approached Raoul with the candle, he could almost barely be heard whispering "Raoul de Chagny..." slowly in a chilling way before releasing him and turning away. I think he harbors the most bitterness towards Raoul out of the Phantoms. He's the most insecure one, and Raoul is everything he'll never be. He fell and pressed his head into the ground roughly while shaking when he screamed for them to leave him. And his scream was so painful and raw I don't know how he lets that out. He stayed like this for a while before he crawled clumsily and quickly towards the monkey in desperate need of any kind of comfort. He put his forehead head against it, closed his eyes tightly and held it so closely while he sang Masquerade. Christine came back and he tried to fix his hair and clothes before going to her I think SJS Christine was a good match for his interpretation of the Phantom because of how unconditionally compassionate she is. He was very fragile and she's very caring and gentle. I think she really did view JSW Phantom as her guardian and guide and had a very pure deep kind of love for him. Maybe not romantic love, but it was very strong either way. She watched him closely in the boat as she left, but he was facing the other way gripping her veil, repeating her name over and over. He turned at the last moment and called out "Christine Daaé!" one more time to her running over to take in the sight of her one last time. His final lines are actually different from the other Phantoms. It only just hit me the other day that they're the same as the lines from the original production in 2001-2. No idea why it took me that long to make the connection, but I found it interesting enough to note!
I really want to do musical promo time, but I really don't think what's on youtube does him justice. So let me just say his 2019 Jekyll/Hyde + Sweeney Todd and his Hedwig? Incredible. There's a reason for that ticket selling power he has and I say that completely unbiased!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also lol at the person in front of me on the plane to Seoul that was watching his movie 'The Classic' because I was like "oh hey it's you I'm seeing you in a few days"

INDYCAR 101 PART 3 RESOURCE MASTERPOST: a 2023 guide to indycar by @thiemrossi
hi, hello, happy race week! If you want to start watching indycar this season but don't know where to start, this is for you. I couldn't cover everything, so I tried to focus on the drivers because there are so many unrecognized great personalities in indycar. If you have questions about anything on here or other stuff I didn't mention, feel free to ask me, I'm happy to help! This will also be multiple parts, so I'll link them all below
PART 1 PART 2 PART 3
This info was originally on slides, but I am just going to share it as text here. So, part 3 is a "how to find out more" masterpost.
Tumblr media
Where can I learn more about drivers? (Long-Form Content)
Off Track with Hinch & Rossi Podcast & Bonus content on Youtube
The Vibe: Long-form, unstructured, casual, funny, feels like 3 friends hanging out & talking
Weekly podcast (Thursdays) with best friends Alexander Rossi (current IndyCar driver) and James Hinchcliffe (former driver, current NBC commentator) where they discuss their lives, IndyCar, & other racing with a healthy dose of banter that descends into wonderful absolute chaos in the off season
Fun for new fans & a great way to get to know two key personalities in the series especially if you listen after a race weekend
But you will miss inside jokes (which make it more fun) if you haven’t listened to the old episodes, so I highly recommend going back and listening to those if you have time
Speed Street Podcast with Conor Daly & Joey Mulinaro (full episodes also on Youtube)
The Vibe: Long-form, semi-structured, funny, honest, & casual but also journalistic
Weekly podcast (Wednesdays) with friends Conor Daly (IndyCar Driver) & Joey Mulinaro (Comedian, Journalist) with commentary and interviews from all racing series
Great way to get to know Conor & the drivers he interviews plus get great insider insight into race weekends
Conor also just talks in a very entertaining way that I find very funny
Dinner with Racers Podcast
The Vibe: VERY long-form, unstructured, casual, personal
Hosts Sean and Ryan get to know various figures in racing through long form unstructured conversations over dinner 
These guys REALLY get drivers to open up & are very funny with it
All of the IndyCar driver/series figures episodes are great I highly recommend them
Trackside Podcast/Radio Show
The Vibe: structured, journalistic, informative
Weekly Indianapolis Radio Show with NBC commentator Kevin Lee and IndyCar VP Curt Cavin with series news and driver interviews (also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts)
They're probably the best series news podcast imo because they discuss things in an engaging way & give info we may not have heard yet
The Marshall Pruett Podcast: This Week in IndyCar
The Vibe: structured-ish, journalistic but can be casual
Weekly updates about the series, answering questions, driver interviews
Marshall has great insight but his podcasts can be hard to listen to because he rambles and talks slow, but the info is generally good & accurate
COMING SOON: 100 Days to Indy
IndyCar Docuseries produced by Vice and the CW following the lead up to the 107th Indianapolis 500 premieres April 27th at 9pm EST on the CW (will be available internationally as well)
Where can I learn more about drivers? (Short-Form Content)
Bus Bros with Josef Newgarden & Scott McLaughlin
The Vibe: Medium-form, structured but casual and fun, essentially a comedy show
IndyCar drivers Josef & Scott try local foods, interview fans, tour other drivers/fans motorhomes, read mean tweets etc.
Super fun for new fans so highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t already!
If you want to see drivers having fun & showing their personalities this one is for you
Romain Grosjean Youtube
The Vibe: Short-form, technical, comparative Has a couple driver interviews (Pato, Scott McLaughlin, Conor Daly) but a lot of videos demonstrating technical differences between IndyCar and F1 if that's something you're interested in
All of these are behind the scenes during race weekends
Admit1 with Josef Newgarden You Don’t Know Jack with Jack HarveyPato O’Ward YouTubeIndyCar Inside the RaceArrow McLaren YouTubeJuncos Hollinger YouTubeOutside the Line Andretti YouTube
How to watch IndyCar
United States
 All practices, qualifying, & races available live & on replay with a Peacock subscription
All races (except Toronto which is Peacock exclusive) are also broadcast live on network TV on NBC or USA network
Canada
TSN & TSN+ (this is new I think)
Australia
Stan Sport *looks* to be similar to peacock they’ll carry practice, qualifying, races & replays this season
UK
SkySportsF1 broadcasts most of the races but from what I understand they won’t cut to IndyCar if F1 post-race is still happening & have also heard they sometimes replay the F1 race over indycar :/
According to IndyCar, you can subscribe to IndyCar Live to watch practice and qualifying but no clue how much additional cost that would be or if it actually works
Latin America (except Belize and the Carribean Islands)
ESPN (unclear if they’ll carry all sessions)
Elsewhere:
Check here 
if your country does not have a race broadcaster IndyCar live will probably be available & even if they do, it might still be available to watch practice and qualifying 
Here's NBC's graphic with the race schedule but download the IndyCar app!!! it is the most helpful race weekend resource to have!! It has all the session times & driver radios are free to listen to during races if you make an account!! you can also listen to the radio feed of the whole race (at least in the US) & check championship standings live!! it's one thing this series does right!! download it!!
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading I hope you found these posts helpful & if you have questions feel to ask me!

this time i am not the unsolved "im connecting the dots", this time im the deranged it's always sunny conspiracy meme
ok so...what if heeseung was able to get into yale/suddenly get so much money because it's heeseung/someone he knows or is related to who does admission fraud. the contact name of the person who was doing the admission fraud is LEE and as far as i'm as i'm aware no one else in the smau is a lee. PLUS why the fuck was heeseung even on reddit?? how did he announce to the group so quickly what was trending on there? why check REDDIT of all social media sites especially when he was supposedly watching yuna's live?? WHAT IF HEE IS THE ONE WHO UPLOADED THAT PHOTO AND NOT JAY? (now even this doesn't make complete sense to since the pov of the texts is not of hee's, but maybe as collateral for doing admission fraud he asks for the other person to screenshot the chat??) (call me simone biles the way im so flexible to be able to be bending over backwards to this extent to make this conspiracy work!)
no matter who uploaded the photo, i think jake is going to feel guilty by association (or perhaps guilty for more direct reasons???) (does jake perhaps know yuna somehow especially since yuna was able to find most likely his twitter to see the jayy/n pics) and so then he feels so guilty that he confesses to someone within the rich kid group and somehow it gets to y/n which leads us to
JAYY/N BREAK UP (BUT NOT REALLY BREAK UP SINCE THEY ARENT TOGETHER BUT LETS BE HONEST THEY ARE) ARC
WE'VE EVOLVED!!!!
Tumblr media
that's a possible theory !! so then do you think that heeseung lied to jay about being self-made 👀 also ngl i lurk on those subreddit pages pretty often so i get him,, but also the timing is suspicious too !! BUT YOU DID GET IT RIGHT THAT JAY DIDN'T MAKE THE REDDIT POST though we'll find out at the end if you're right about unknown being heeseung too 😩
also jake has no relation to yuna !!! she was just digging HARD for those photos (which tbh shouldn't be too hard because mc and jay were replying under those tweets so just looking through their profiles would make it easy to find jake's tweets)
oh the jay/n ITS SO OVER arc has not hit us just yet 😔 when it does tho i will be devastated myself

Hello. I hope my message doesn't come off as mean or judgemental. I wanna talk about the OP/OPLA fandom.
I fully agree with the criticism of Taz Skyler, but 98% of the OP fandom worships Oda like a God when he's friends with 2 mangakas who are child predators (the Kenshin and Toriko creators)... I love OP as much as any other fan (I don't give it my money though), but I wish fans didn't feel the need to kiss the creator's ass so much, or make excuses for him using his clout and money to promote his predatory friends.
People in the fandom saying that Taz or the potential casting of Jamie Lee Curtis as Kureha will "taint" OP when the creator already did that feels like people don't take CSA as seriously as they should. Almost anyone who brings up Oda's terrible taste in friends gets shut down with poor excuses or treated like a "hater".
OP is also a story full of fatphobia and misogyny, where Oda makes it clear that the only women worthy of being seen as attractive and worthy of devotion need to be thin and have big breasts. People fight me on this one all the time, but the treatment of fat female characters like Alvida and Shinobu proves I'm right.
Again, I love OP... but it's been flawed before Taz Skylar tweeted anything.
hello! it's not mean at all & i agree 100%! oda is incredibly flawed & there's a lot to criticize about the original manga. i've actually spoken about oda's misogyny in my own personal blog before.
this is why i'm not acting like still enjoying opla is a sin (or one piece in general), even tho the cast may be problematic. if i did, i would stop running this blog at all. i am merely withdrawing my personal support from the cast for the sake of my sanity to be frankly honest.
i'm glad you brought up these issues & sent this message, so thank you! honestly part of the reason i'm excited for the live action is to see them hopefully rectify some of the major issues with the animanga, like the horrendous fatphobia, certain characters' (like sanji) misogyny & queerphobia, etc.
i agree that judging opla & its cast, while pretending that oda & the original content does not have plenty of issues is indeed incredibly hypocritical. i'm also not a fan of ppl using the genocide in palestine to speak ill of opla in general bc they never liked it to begin with. it's honestly disgusting & disrespectful.
i think the bottom line is that it is important to be aware & critical of what we enjoy & the ppl involved in it.
thank you once again for taking the time to send this message, i really appreciate it!

Story from UNBOTHERED
Angela Bassett Doesn’t Owe The Oscars A Thing — Not Even A Smile
INEYE KOMONIBO
LAST UPDATED MARCH 13, 2023, 11:53 AM
Tumblr media
PHOTO: GILBERT FLORES/VARIETY/GETTY IMAGES.
My expectations for this year’s Oscar Awards were low. After another long awards season of Hollywood doing what it does best — ignoring Black art — I wasn’t particularly looking forward to the show besides judging the celebrity fashions on the red carpet, watching Rihanna perform live (Twice in one month? What a time to be alive!), and getting these tweets off. Still, the promise of Angela “Thee Original Thespian” Bassett doing the thing and finally getting the Oscar she’s  long been due for her powerful performance as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever fueled me. Dressed in a gorgeous purple Moschino gown, Bassett looked every bit of the Wakandan royalty she brought to life (and – spoiler – death) just months ago. I just knew that this was going to be her night.
ADVERTISEMENT
Sigh. 
In the stacked category of Best Supporting Actress, it was Jamie Lee Curtis who walked away with the Oscar for her role in the box office giant Everything Everywhere All At Once. Curtis’ win was a surprise. Besides Bassett, Curtis’ co-star Stephanie Hsu was the other fan favorite and natural shoe-in for the category, bringing audiences to tears as Michelle Yeoh’s daughter and nemesis in the A24 film (which also took home seven different Oscars, including Best Picture).
However, knowing the Academy’s history of excluding Black women and having read some of the blatantly and violently anti-Black rationale behind their votes, we shouldn’t have been surprised by Bassett’s snub. (Days before the awards show took place, several nameless trolls within the voting body freely discussed their resentment towards the Black actors and directors in EW’s annual secret ballot reveal. One voter’s beef with Bassett’s Wakanda Forever performance? “It's a comic book, and she was a comic book character.” How astute.) Nonetheless, the loss still stung. When Bassett’s name wasn’t called, the fans weren’t the only people taken aback. Most of her fellow nominees offered up big smiles and overeager cheers, but Bassett’s face fell, and you could very clearly see the disappointment in her eyes. She couldn't mask the fact that her feelings were hurt — and she shouldn’t have had to.
Hawk-eyed Oscars viewers took notice of the actress’ crestfallen reaction, and unfortunately, some actually took it upon themselves to try to teach her a lesson in etiquette. (Before you even ask: yes, they were.) Many people on social media took issue with the fact that Bassett didn’t stand to applaud for Curtis or fake a smile in the moment. Some jumped at the chance to call her a “sore loser,” suggesting that her very human reaction was more about ego and “entitlement.” Let them and the racist anonymous Academy voters tell it, Bassett should’ve been thankful just to be included in the nominations.
ADVERTISEMENT
Here’s the thing: losing sucks. No matter what field or industry you’re in, no matter which way you look at it, not winning is a crappy feeling, and it doesn’t get easier the older you are or the longer you’ve been in the game. In Bassett’s case, it probably feels even worse because it’s yet another slap in the face. After an awards season (there are multiple other award shows that lead up to the Oscars and act as predictors of the winners) where Bassett was the clear favorite, her omission from the winners’ circle is even more frustrating. It’s a reminder that no matter how talented she is — and she is so talented — her work may  never be good enough for this establishment.
Bassett has been working in Hollywood since the late 1980s, becoming a household name through the success of projects like Boyz in the Hood, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, What’s Love Got to Do with It, The Jacksons: The American Dream, Malcolm X, Waiting to Exhale, and countless others. Her work, just like her beauty, is timeless, and it has always been excellent, no matter the role. Yet, in these almost 40 years of consistently incredible performances, Bassett has been overlooked by the Academy. It’s hard to wrap my mind around it, but with hundreds of acting creditsunder her belt, she has never won an Oscar. Not a single one.
The Hollywood veteran has been candidly optimistic about the trajectory of her career and the fact that she doesn’t have an Oscar yet. We may feel that she should have won in for What’s Love Got to Do with It — a portrayal so convincing that a whole generation was convinced that Bassett was Tina Turner — and should have at least been nominated for several more roles over the years, but Bassett hasn’t taken it too personally. In a recent interview with CBS’ Gayle King, the actress shrugged off the losses and chalked them up to fate.
ADVERTISEMENT
"Of course, in the moment you're hoping and praying and wishing, but I never walk away thinking I've been robbed,” Bassett shared. "That's too negative of an emotion to carry with me for the rest of my life. I choose to believe there was a reason why it didn't happen."
That typically sunny outlook and the humility that she projects despite literally being Angela Bassett makes this loss (and the subsequent negative discourse about her response to it) feel especially egregious. Following the global success of Black Panther, the stakes for its sequel were sky high, and the cast and crew of the Marvel Cinematic Universe knew that picking up the story of one of the most beloved superheroes of our time without our real-life hero would be a Herculean task. But Ryan Coogler and the cast of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever were up for the challenge and exceeded expectations by telling a new kind of superhero story. From its soundtrack to its historic Oscar-winning costuming, every single aspect of the film was moving, but Bassett’s performance as the grieving Queen Ramonda was especially poignant; her grief-stricken throne room monologue shook audiences to their core. (Months later, we stillhaven’t forgiven Ryan Coogler for what he did.) Her final act as the Wakandan matriarch was so impactful that it made history, earning the MCU its first ever Oscar nomination for acting — a significant achievement considering the industry’s snobbery towards the superhero genre. With her performance, the MCU was finally seen as real cinema, as real art. 
ADVERTISEMENT
Given the heavy lifting Bassett did for her film, for the genre, and for Hollywood with her portrayal, it’s only natural for her to feel letdown by the loss at the Oscars. But in a space where Black art, feelings, and people aren’t a priority, she was demonized for a perfectly normal reaction. Interestingly enough, Bassett wasn’t the only loser in her category to not plaster on a smile after the announcement; The Banshees of Inisherin’s leading lady Kerry Condon was also noticeably stone-faced upon learning that she’d lost. And across other categories, many of the male nominees didn't crack a smile either. Yet Bassett’s facial expression is the only one being picked apart, criticized, and demonized. Wonder why that is. 
Beyond my natural instinct to want to defend Bassett (that’s Muva!), I have so much empathy for her in that moment and in the conversation that resulted from it because I’ve been in her position. All Black women have. We know that society holds us to the highest standards while simultaneously leaving us no margin for error. Misogynoir demands that we always be the best and brightest in every room — the most talented, the most put together, the friendliest — but it also intentionally strips us of our humanity in the process. The emotions of Black women are rarely respected or taken into consideration within these spaces. Having a bad day at work and being quieter than usual? People take issue with it and single you out. Standing up for yourself in an unfair situation? You’re quick to be labeled “aggressive” or “intimidating.” Even when you’re on the opposite end of the emotional spectrum, happily doing your thing and feeling yourself á la Beyoncé, it’s a problem. They want to humble us in triumph and then ask us not to be human in defeat. The perpetual policing of our emotions is the reason why so many of us are constantly performing happiness and trying to be agreeable, even to our own detriment. It’s not about masking or trying to fit in; it’s about survival. 
Angela Bassett was robbed at the 2023 Oscars, point blank period. It wasn’t the first snub, and knowing this industry’s thinly veiled resentment towards talented Black women, it unfortunately will likely not be the last. Even though she’s been rejected and ignored by the establishment time and time again, Bassett has never let it stop her from doing the work that she loves. She’s an artist through and through, a thespian dedicated to her craft, a maverick devoted to the culture. She does this because she’s passionate about it. And that love of telling stories — telling our stories — will always serve a purpose far more important than anything the Academy has to offer.
Still, before anything else, Bassett is a human being first. And while the Academy may owe her an Oscar or two (or five), she doesn't owe them a single thing. Not even a smile.

My School President Live Blogging
Wow, am I finally getting to this show? The last episode comes out in a week so this is perfect timing for me technically. I'm still pretty caught up on Beyond Evil and Lee Dongshik/Han Joo Won but I believe the show can hold my attention still.
I've seen so many gifsets of this and clips and GeminiFourth tweets/tiktoks as well and it's all been soooo adorable, so I'm expecting to really like this.
Episode 1 (Feb 18)
1-1
damn not me having to see that random girl get harassed within the first 5 minutes
pls then just hitting each other on the head cuties
pls Gun so funny and annoying along with his friends

I haven't watched any BL since the start of this month and haven't watched any Thai BL this year except NLMG once a week, so it took a bit to get into the right mindset for this comedic high school BL after watching and being obsessed with Beyond Evil. This was really fun though, glad to see Fourth and Gemini's faces, as well as Chinzilla friend group
Ep 2 (Feb 19)
2-1
plssss Tinn's voice when speaking to Gun vs his squeaky voice when speaking to his mom

as cute lil grade 10 Tinn with his glasses and Nobita-lite outfit
my god nerdass Tinn with the Love and Gentleness and Peace in his crossword (it's scrabble?) game
(Linguistics) Tinn referred to Gun as nai in this scene - what do they use now? I would think gu/meung

2-4
Tinn has become aware of the Hot Wave contest rule
plsss Tinn singing City to Gun to rescue him as Gun had done years ago and made him feel happy

Gun grabbing Tinn's chin ah
Ep 3 (Feb 19)
3-1
pls Tinn lacking braincells momentarily while being like "no I'm not watching" and Gun and co. also not having even 1 braincell to pass around because they all fall for it. ah these kids

3-3
pls daydreams with the printer ink refill ad
Tinn daydreaming of Gun teaching him to chop veggies and calling him cutie pie so cute only for Gun to make him move away and call him a Khun Nu spoiled prince
(Linguistics) It's fun how they keep referring to Gun as Phi and Tinn as Nong like first with Nong Lion and now when Gun's calling himself Phi cuz he's talented and better at cooking
yaas one of Tinn's daydreams coming true, though the other way around, with Gun cleaning the rice off his face but i doubt Tinn cares which way around his fantasies happen

3-4

plsss Gun: have you ever used that line to hit on anyone? Tinn: You. uhhh wanna rehearse? you wanna do the dance rehearsal right now? because Tinn panicked but did Gun seem a bit disappointed that the answer wasn't actually Meung? did he hmm
honestly congrats to Tinn for managing to dance instead of bursting into flames considering he's also holding Gun's bare waist
Tinn brave as hell to lie there and ask Gun to make extended eye contact with him considering he can't even interact normally with the guy
ahhhh Gun being the one who lets go of the staring and turns around and curls up in bed with an excuse, my guy is feeling feelingsssss
(Fave) ahh Tinn's speedy stuttering heartbeat and him trying to convince himself to do well because Gun won't get to go to Hot Wave otherwise but then Gun telling him to close his eyes and him having the best, cutest, most beautiful daydream of ever ah Though I do wish they wouldn't do so many flashbacks like both here and with the staring moment, we got to see a lot of the past 3 ep moments again lmao
(Fave) ahhhhh the heartbeat thing coming back but this time for Gun!! Gun's racing heart after the eye contact with Tinn and the pencil case ahhhh it's so fucking good
also beautiful beautiful Fourth and his expression and Gun's blinking ah so good cute beautiful makes me so giddy

Fave Scenes:
Tinn's tutoring daydream vs reality
Tinn's daydream of the dance with the tuxedos and live music
Gun's racing heartbeat as we realize he's starting to catch feelings as well and his expression!!
Ep 4 (Feb 20)
4-1 and 4-2
i was eating so not many comments
at least Gun's friends were loyal to him but also Sound's not wrong. They probably could've come up with a solution that doesn't involve Gun quitting but yknow teenagers, so it makes sense and I'm assuming he'll be back in the band by the end of the ep
The humour for this show really works for me like Sound being like oh you want me to not join? I'll join or sure! and Sound making Win come around with the "P'win nalak" comment reading and our lovely cute Gun, esp at the Booth Checking
4-3
(Linguistics) Tinn calling Gun Khun Nu as the customer/waiter ah
I should also become thick-skinned
aw Tinn and Gun heart-to-heart cuteness

The pinky hold! I don't quite like the editing of that scene but it's so cute T.T Tinn's shaking hand ah
Ep 5 (Feb 20)
5-1
I think this is the first ep where I started slightly avoiding spoilers, so idk much about this conflict about future plans
I did see this jealous little Gun in clips heh
damn Gun really going for the "Does the school president take care of all his friends this good?"
D: where is this show going? Why are we dealing with Gun having to skip school to look after their restaurant and them being behind on bills oh no and Gun considering giving up Hot Wave to study
5-2
Tinn getting Gun out of bed sooo cute
5-3
cute Tinn in his glasses + I really like Gemini's smile
bro Gun's father and his reason for wanting to do music why is this ep sad
loll Tinn managing to ask if Gun has found someone he wants to date after the contest but Gun escaping
pls Sound doing nothing and Win getting freaking worked up is so funny
aw Gun didn't get the job
do i feel like watching this rap battle... no. I'm watching just the talking bits

7-1
Tinn suddenly so confident in his flirting
Gun so silly getting jealous over this 1 far-away interaction
7-2
girl wtf Yo why are you a child on Tinder? and why are you catfishing with Tinn's face? They were clearly hinting at him being into somebody with his questions about the dating ban rule but I wasn't expecting this lol
pls Tinn being so dreamy about their first date

I think it's fun that Gun bought Tinn that QR code from their first date hangout and uploaded photos of Tinn on there; so his reciprocity and interest
This episode was so ridiculous like the SoundWin tied up and pee scene?! Yo's whole entire catfishing storyline?! and all the ridiculous things like the aquarium date + yard dance to help Yo?!
Ep 8 (Feb 22)
8-1
oh it's already Hotwave day? are we gonna flashback? or it's just the next round but not the final round right
plsssss Gun has Tinn so wrapped around his finger
no actually Tinn's horny little daydreams and expressions are killing me so bad ah cuteee
also Tinn saying he hasn't started studying for the exam whatever next month is a bit hmmm
ahhh Gun drinking all that sake
8-2
pls not Tiw witnessing a hand kiss between Sound and Gun
pls this Indian serial style editing of Tinn becoming aware of Sound and Gun killing me so bad
TinnGun cute swimming and cute convo :< and soooo cute when Tinn's jealous and Gun finds it endearing
7-3
ahh Win caring about Sound okay okay
"trying to bug me?" "yeah I am" that's really cute
(Linguistics) I loveee the way they say "really?" like "lohhh?" like I've noticed it each time and love the little whiny or indulgent way it's said
okie cheering on Gun for his competition and Tinn for his meeting with the doctor - each person doing what's best for their own future but supporting the other as well
8-4
noo Tinn why are you running to see them perform after you've already let Gun know that you won't be here T.T go introduce yourself to the doctor (or maybe he'll realize he really doesn't wanna be a doctor. then that's okay ig)
lol I think I'm just Going Through It in terms of school and career and internships but Tinn passing up that networking opportunity that other people don't even get is killing me so bad like why did you doooo that. though at least it's not like he actually missed an interview or something.
though I'm also still happy that TinnGun get to have a cute moment. cute teary Gun T.T
forehead kiss cute
Actually the fact that Hotwave is like so many rounds is killing me so bad bc the more rounds you pass, the more you anticipate actually winning. These fucking internship interviews with like OA -> phone interview -> 2 hour-long interviews is really fucking me up because the further you get into the chain, the more you hope you did well and will get the job but that doesn't mean shit :> you could still be 1 of 10 or 20 in that last step and you could just be not chosen
Ep 9 (Feb 23)
9-1
died when Tinn's mom started naming girls that Tinn might like
TinnGun soooo freaking cute my beloveds
I love Prom's face and also Ford's character's outfits
Yak has graduated bruh why is he haunting these kids
9-2
(Fave) pls this Gun and Sound convo killed me so bad
and then Gun escaping when Sound asks if he should confess to Win
(Fave) sooooo cute when Gun's tickling under Tinn's chin and promising to announce their relationship if they win the next step
9-3
SoundWin have also gotten so cute >.< Sound being like do you feel anything after reading that? And getting prissy when Win says it doesn't suit Sound at all
Sorry but Tinn's flinchy face when Gun's threatening to flick his forehead got to me so bad and then the end of the scene when he turns his face as Gun flicks him
i love whiny lil Tinn
oh yeah I'm worried something's very wrong with Gun's mom's health pls
9-4
Tinn and Gun's moms knowing each other is gonna be trouble maybe
oh Win teasing Sound with the oh why's your heart beating so fast
"Did you write that song?" "No, you wrote it in [my heart]. I just sang it out loud" is an insane line. good job Tinn
also this I need somebody to love song reminds me of a song from the True Beauty OST or is it 18 Again?
Ep 10 (Feb 23)
10-1
pls Gun getting Tinn to clean the classroom
oof Tinn witnessing Gun's mom in pain
bruh why'd she make Tinn stay T.T now he knows about how severe her migranes are and I think people said there's gonna be about Tinn knowing but Gun not being told
10-2
pls tutor P'Aof
pls TinnGun are sooo cute, I'm gonna be so sad when they have angst cuz of Tinn having to keep the mom thing a secret
loll Tiw's genius plan to introduce Chinchillaz to the school
a;kldfjs Sound getting so worked up at the possibility that Tiw could like Win
anyway is Tiw/Por a thingggg
aghhh Tinn's not wrong for keeping it from Gun because Gun's mom told him to and it's her responsibility to tell her son but Gun's not wrong for being mad that Tinn knew and kept it from him
my poor beloved Gun T.T he lost his dad without a chance to say goodbye and now his mom has a brain tumour T.T
okay well at least Gun's mom tells him to not be mad at Tinn and also tells him about things that Tinn has done for him in secret so far
awww the "I just bought some food and drinks for you. In case you're hungry" T.T I knew Tinn didn't leave but the way Gemini did his little acting really hit it
10-3
lovely Tinn getting to hear Gun say he's thankful for the things that he's done
broooo I thought Gun was gonna call and she was gonna see, not that Tinn's mom would actually go through his phone D:
oh i see she had 1 moment of resistance and then fucking Chinzhilla Baby with Gun's face comes up ahhhh
the parents are really making me go through it this ep
also you know something else haunting me is a gif from ep 11 probably of Gun being like "yeah! fine I'm the reason we lost" or something like ah fuck
10-4
ah okay at least his mother's okay, though of course they're making us wait for winner announcements but like is the "will you be disappointed if i don't win?" and tinn saying "not at all" foreshadowing
I like how Tinn and Gun switch being the nervous one and flirty one. like they're both into each other and want to hug and kiss cheeks/on the lips and want to make the other one be flustered but also they each can get shy or get flustered
Ep 11 (Feb 24)
11-1
ohhh it really goes to Chinzhilla interesting
wtf was that real or no
fucking fuckkkkkkkkk it was a bit dreamy but I was like hmmm
poor sad Gun :< my beloved
why is Tinn just going to the student council my guy
aw hopeful optimist Por. he doesn't even have a funky sweater on today to get through this
oh maybe TinnGun are just avoiding each other at school or something but are fine together at the hospital
11-2
sorry why is Tinn's dad kneeling on the ground beside the couch after getting his wife a drink like this is so the plot of the PWPs I've read
nooo poor Gun getting nervous
aw Win believes it's his fault that they lost Hot Wave
yes Por/Tiw but it wasn't a secret relationship the way everybody was hoping
pls Por's foot being broken because he didn't redeem his wish of making no mistakes during the Hot Wave performance. the whole group's coming together through this though
ahhh preview of Tinn's mom asking Gun something,- I thought it was her asking Tinn something at first cuz we could only see her but then Gun nodding...
11-3
oioioi Gun revealing so much about Tinn's help to his mother but he's so endearing pls Tinn's mom, love him pls <3
pls Tinn's face when he realizes his mother went to Gun's mom's milk bar
okayyyy Tinn told his mom it was Gun who invited him to the beach trip and le thim go
pls not this Oishii ad
TinnGun you silly goofs with the hugging
wait wtf what's going on D:
oh pls Win why is he saying that to Gun
scary Gun? I'd like to see him play smth angry again
damn who is making up so quickly after saying such harsh words and almost fighting physically
all their wishes came true but what did Tinn and Gun wish for?
bro Tinn seek help. he wished that whatever Gun wished for comes true?
pls Gun's cute little wish >.<
but so funny that not a single one of them wished to win Hot Wave
11-4
okayyyy we're getting hesitancy but now quite homophobia from Tinn's mom
TinnGun soooo cute
free Nook from Yo
these non-kiss things are a bit annoying like either kiss or stop eluding to it
TinnGun my beloveds soooooo cute
I love Gemini's little smile his toothy grin
I wish the friendship fights were either less intense or had more of a falling out that was fixed through some time and conversation. it gave me whiplash to get from such harsh words to hugging and cuteness
Ep 12 (Feb 24)
People have said it's the perfect ending, so I'm looking forward to it.
12-1
plss so cute T.T Tinn's mom wanting to talk to Tinn about him and Gun but backing off when she realizes how anxious and scared it was making Tinn. And Gun's cute convo with his mom who gives her full approval <3
aw Tinn saying his family isn't like Gun's :<
sorry Tinn and this girl doing a shooting as romantic partners so funny like first of all she has a gf and he has a bf
loll Gun finally aware of Tiw's help with Tinn. also lol I feel like Tiw's "nobody except me knows" is gonna be untrue
I love lesbians so bad
ah we're really getting into the societal acceptance of queerness
TINNGUN ARE SO FUCKING CUTE T.T I saw a clip on twitter of their kiss scene but it's still making me so giddy
these fucking showssss and their fucking photo spreading of 2 boys kissingggg first NLMG now this ahhh
12-2
pls everybody but Por knew about TinnGun but Pat didn't know about SoundWin
I mean Jorn's not wrong about him joining to help every club, not just help Tinn hit on Gun but also you could seem less homophobic
nooo my beloved Gun, trying not to cry by pinching his nose the way Tinn told him
my beloved Tinn so willing to tell everybody T.T and be beside Gun
I hate the students fangirling over the TinnGun hug aghh like we were just having a heartfelt moment wtf is this
lol Win calling Sound 'pumpkin' so cute and flustered Sound so cute
wtf 'this can make the school look bad?' these teachers need a kick. i hope the mom remains to be strongly supportive of Tinn
we will never be free of name position debates like even in this fucking show we getting TinnGun GunTinn discussions you're killing me
ah that's why we had the switch to hand held camera - showed the shakiness of overhearing your teachers be homophobic towards you
oh so true Jorn punched the teacher? Everybody was talking about Tinn punching him in the preview from ep 11 so this is more shocking
12-3
yay Tinn mum!
TinnGun cute as hell once again, the performance at Prom of the new song is also cute
pls this PDA and shipping comments making me die so bad like these are in-canon high school classmates but Tinn is dying at being so publicly loved on, so I'll let it slide
12-4
cute SoundWin. I'm not super into them because Win's too much and I skipped most of their kissing as I tend to do but their dynamic is fun and cute
aww my poor beloved Pat with no faen. not to worry my guy, you have a beautiful face
plsss so cute both Tinn's dad and Gun so nervous
D: Gun going straight to 'mae' and Tinn's mom being taken aback and being like let's start with 'Aunt' is killing me so bad, I'm so embarrassed
soooo cute TinnGun so cute
we will never be free from name position debates x2 though it's def interesting that GMMTV is going in a way where there's even debate now rather than clear cut answers. like FirstKhao vs KhaoFirst. TinnGun vs GunTinn. Nueng and Palm's dynamic is weird and flippy but not flippy.
Very good last episode. Gave us some angst and tied up some loose ends in the first half. Made me sooo giddy in the second half.
Overall:
I really liked it, especially for what it was: a cute, endearing high school BL with really endearing leads and good acting and sometimes turning tropes on their head.
I didn't love it or obsess over it the way some people seemed to but it was enjoyable nonetheless. I also loved so many of their faces lol Fourth and Prom my favourite beautiful faces but Gemini and Satang are beautiful too, not to mention Gun's mother whew!
This made me giddy and the OSTs are great and there's clear effort from the cast and crew. I liked the dynamic between the characters, whether it be how Gun and Tinn took turns being bold and shy or the parent-child relationships or Chinzhilla band. I might increase the rating by 0.5 if the characters continue giving me brainrot.
Fave Ep: Probably Ep 3
Rating: 7 7.5/10 [April 4, 2023 Edit: The characters did indeed continue to give me brainrot, as well as actors, so +0.5]

Old Trailer: GMMTV 2022 | แฟนผมเป็นประธานนักเรียน [My School President]
Ah, it has certain of the same parts but the new story is so much better. The trailer showed some of the usual tropes of pitfalls of high school BL and I'm glad the final show managed to make them fresh and interesting. Also Fourth looks like a babyyy. I guess he was 17/18 during the final filming and so was probably 16/17 during the trailer but he looks more than just a year younger - aw child
New Trailer: [Official Trailer] แฟนผมเป็นประธานนักเรียน My School President
ehhhh it's an alright trailer. I wish instead of 4 minutes of showing way too much, they'd have a 2-minute snappy and succinct trailer that better showcased the silliness and endearing factors of the show. it's an okay trailer but not great.
Edit Mar 30: Episode 12 behind was released yesterday and me and twitter have been losing our entire heads over it. all the kisses and also fourth insisting said kisses 'are nothing' is so...

What is this post you might say? Well exacly as the banner says. I saw a tweet where some kpop fan said their childhood song was ruined was by a classical korean group. And bunch of other kpoppers agreed. Guess they only listen to some mediocore kpop artists and never heard a good singer. So I present you a bunch of Korean artists (male version) with really good voices you should check out. And behold! It’s all live performances! No youtube embeds since you can only embed 5 so links instead.
황치열 (Hwang Chi-yeul) - All Of My Life
https://youtu.be/oEEr7nEGOHU
This is a cover of Park Won’s All Of My Life. I listen to both artists but never knew Hwang Chi-Yeul covered this until it showed up on my youtube front page. And my first reaction was “Wait hold up! The All Off My Life??? The one from Park Won???”. I insta clicked and wow this cover is phenomenal. It even made me emotional.
김재환 (Kim Jae Hwan) - Leave The Door Open
https://youtu.be/RNsksNAAk14
It was the cover of Tom Grennan’s Little Bit Of Love that introduced me to Kim Jae Hwan and I was like damm who are you. He has done many covers and this is one of my faves.
WOODZ (조승연) - Accident
https://youtu.be/C2ybLIsT21c
Every single time I listen to this live clip I am amazed at how easy he hits those high notes. Woodz is also an all rounder since he can also dance and write songs.
퍼플레인 (Purple Rain) - 자옥아
https://youtu.be/3Qv-Cmcgsao
Purple Rain unfortunately doesn’t exist anymore but the singer is also part of The Vane. This guy’s voice is no joke. He got such a volume.
이홍기 (Lee Hong Gi) - 사랑아
https://youtu.be/6nDpVI12xnU
So the singer of F.T Island. Everytime a list would pop up with best kpop singers he was never in there. Like excuse me? He has an amazing voice. He puts in so many emotions when he’s singing. You can feel it.
비(RAIN)의 킬링보이스를 라이브로
https://youtu.be/VKwvmLS0BBY?t=1034
Well this is a collection of Rain singing small parts of his hits. This channel has a lot of great singers doing their own hits. I timestamped this because the performance for one his songs is out of this world!
박효신 (Park Hyo Shin) - 야생화
https://youtu.be/geqkGm6YpCo
He performed this song many times but this live version is something else. I won’t say why, just listen! 
Kim Feel & - Kim Jongwan (Nell) Time To Walk Through Memories
https://youtu.be/DKgZVNW4Zok?t=201
First of I love the show Begin Again. I like the the setting and the stripped down versions of songs they do. This is a song by Nell they are singing. And it made me emotional the first time I listened to it. Such a beautiful version.
몽니 (Monni) - 세상만사
https://youtu.be/3Jiy2SToM1s
Listen, I listen to a lot of music so I don’t always know what the artists I listen to look like. And Monni was an example. I always check out every Immortal Songs 2 performance. And here is I was like I wonder who this band is. Then the singer started singing and I was like “OMG this is Monni!”. Another singer with a big volume.
라포엠(LA POEM) - 여러분
https://youtu.be/TmemF9bK6mI
Not everything is always my type of music and when I checked this out and they started singing I was like “O opera”. Definitly not something I listen to. But I continued to listen and I ended up breaking down. I had tears streaming down my face. I also checked out their recorded music but it doesn’t do anything for me. But their live performances I do love.
김기태 (Kim Ki Tae) - 그대 앞에 난 촛불이어라
https://youtu.be/gbsbYHLIP0M
Immortal Songs 2 also introduces me to artists I have never heard of. Because to be fair there are a lot of ballad singers out there. Kim Ki Tae is one of them snf wow. I love how he has a raw edge to his voice. Vocals don’t always have to be super clean to me. 
임태경 (Lim Tae-kyung) - 낙인
https://youtu.be/1vEkouZmUH4
Last one in this post. I gotta stop somewhere. Lim Tae-kyung is also someone I never heard of but this performance is great.
Other artists you should listen to that are not in this post: Bumkey, Crush, Daldam, KCM, Kim MinSeok, Muzie, O.WHEN, Park Won, Shin Yong Jae & Soulstar

tweeted this already but i’m feeling extremely unhinged and vulnerable atm, as illustrated in vivid detail below the cut
began reading orv like two weeks ago bc my brother was like ‘can you please read the novel faster so i can find out what happens next [after the latest webtoon update]’ and what am if not an older sibling so I Was Like Okay. biggest mistake of my life. (also the juxtaposition of me reading orv out of love and indulgence, technically, and the inherent thematic grounds of it are not lost to me and i think the hindsight is what makes everything more potent here)
so yes, i’m not too far ahead actually. i’m @ ch 100 something. i actively seek spoilers bc that’s how i keep myself interested in things. i didn’t actually think i’d like it as much as i do atm. and well.
i can’t extrapolate on how i’m feeling about what’s going to happen but i do want to talk about how i’m feeling on what has already happened and like. GOD. HAVE THINGS HAPPENED. 
kim dokja. he’s soooooooooo i think it’s impossible to talk about him isolated from all the people who make him who he is bc he is just That person, see? dokja with sangah on the subway, w gilyoung and hyunsung. dokja who is like ‘i’m only keeping them alive to earn coins and keep my reputation blessed in front of all the constellations’ but also, regardless, still does his level best to get them all through the multiple qualms they find themselves in -- dokja who’d rather it be him than them, if it does come down to choosing not just bc he understands where joonghyuk went wrong as the protagonist but also bc he values companionship (??) he is such a tightly wounded character that it’s kind of like..... tbh.... like a thread unravelling the more time we spend in his presence. orv is written in undeniable detail and the character development happens in such little spoons of progress that it’s kind of.... u don’t even know when this character went from being person A to person B (case in point: jung minseob and lee sungkook who went from begrudging acceptance of dokja to bold admiration before the signs became obvious)
and he just has that kind of effect on people. most people who agree to be with him end up actually, honestly, liking him. i can’t put into words or unpack his character properly enough to unspool why i think that is but just know that i see it, i see the diplomacy and the kindness and i see why he, as a figurehead, is well-liked (i think the attribute king of no killing actually suits him sooooo much). 
also the way he is just. resourceful, smart enough to be reliable, understanding what he can do and what he can’t do. i have neverrrrr been good at describing characters as i see them in my mind and i am not going to be good at it now but i really like dokja a lot? as a reader and as the protagonist of the novel that i’m reading, he’s just as easy to identify with as he is to admire. 
i also think a lot about him with gilyoung and yoosung. i think a lot about how he does actively care for them, how much they trust him. it’s just. neat. the effect he has on these children and all. 
(i keep thinking about that one scene in the chungmuro station scenario where they had to survive the night -> how joonghyuk took the last hidden green room after dokja promised to keep gilyoung safe, how they said at the same time: give me the child / take the child at least. i think about that a lot.) 
and then with yoosung too, more as the catastrophe than as the child. even as the child though, when she asks him to kill her and he says no. when her future self climbs out of the meteorite as a catastrophe, even then. he refuses to kill her and it means so much to him bc all she ever wanted to do was live. i can’t even begin to think about dokja and yoosung bc it makes me want to DIE....... 
(i also think about the younger yoosung watching her older self wreak havoc and understanding that this is why people wanted her dead, understand what it meant when she asked dokja if she was going to grow up into a bad person and how he’d replied to it. I KEEP THINKING.)
(also the anger.... me @ me ‘yoosung’s anger at joonghyuk is so interesting bc that means whether it all goes right or whether it all goes wrong, dokja could also just as easily be at the other end of it’ and hmm... it’s interesting! something about how fathers and daughters, maybe.)
i also cannot think about han sooyoung for too long or i go into self destructive blank extremities like wdym (AND THIS IS A MAJOR SPOILER) like wdym. she loved dokja more than the world. fuck off. i actually won’t talk about han sooyoung at all until i reach that point in the novel just bc i will explode if i don’t have all the facts (which i do, which are: she loves him)
same goes to yoo joonghyuk. isolation is a disease luv [i actually have a lot to say about him but once again, i’d rather wait for all the facts] [i love how he and dokja are going until now though. it’s very. fascinating] [“you killed my companion” = bro glaring daggers at him every second dokja was alive. yeah. potent]
anyway.

Russian Military ‘Scrambling' For Manpower As Ukraine’s Path to Victory Laid Bare — PART 2
EXPRESS | By Charlie Bradley | 8/31/2022
[Continued from PART1] » » » Various experts have given their view on what Russia is trying to accomplish at this point in the war. Speaking to the Moscow Times this week, independent military analyst Pavel Luzin said Russian command is “experimenting due to issues [on the battlefield] and are trying not to lose this war,”
Tumblr media
It comes as General Alexander Dvornikov, who was reportedly previously in charge of the Russian offensive, has not been seen in public for weeks. Meanwhile, Russian Deputy Defence Minister Gennady Zhidko appeared alongside Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on a visit to eastern Ukraine last weekend. Some experts believe this indicates a shake-up in Moscow to try and turn the tide of the conflict. Military analyst Rob Lee tweeted: “It appears to confirm that Colonel-General Gennady Zhidko is the commander of Russian forces in Ukraine."
Tumblr media
A US think tanks, the Institute for the Study of War, added: “Drastic rotations within the Russian military, if true, are not actions taken by a force on the verge of a major success." Shoigu's visit to Ukraine was his first since the war began. Russian state TV boasted that Shoigu would be making future visits to major cities including Kyiv, Odesa and Mykolaiv once they had been seized.
Tumblr media
He handed out medals for heroism and told troops: “I am confident in you. You have many more glorious deeds ahead of you for the benefit of our fatherland, the armed forces and the airborne troops. Congratulations. Take care of yourselves." Ukraine's Centre for Strategic Communications and Information Security, which sits under the country's Ministry of Culture recently claimed that Russia has lost 35,000 lives in the conflict.
Tumblr media
Russia has only given an official toll of troops killed on two occasions, the last on March 25, with a figure of 1,351. However, experts have said this figure is way too low an estimate.

Into the spider verse is like my favorite movie I love it so much omg miles brainrot <3333 I don't think technically this counts as a spiderman wait the marvel page flipping intro was there and Stan Lee was in the movie bc he always gotta have him promo in his movie)

the divergent series. (love these)
the hunger games
THE OUTSIDERS. ("stay gold ponyboy, stay gold." 😭)
the fault in our stars
and there's more I can't think of rn
please do not interact if :
racist, homophobic, yk the drill, as long as you're not openly an asshole or weird for no reason to any random person on the internet
I don't write any incest, pedophilia, yk all that stuff. The dark content and all that. That kinda fits into nsfw and it makes me uncomfortable and it just doesn't sound right to me.
Speaking of, I don't write smut, it makes me cringe just writing it
I am on the edge w suggestive but not too much.
Books :
I'm also a huge bookworm so yeah that too!! You can request book reviews or comments about a book too!
I read a lot of books so there is a 50/50 chance I may or may not have read the book you're asking about. But you can always just ask!
I also do emergency requests too, but in terms of that it may be a bit slow due to lack of motivation and me doing this on my phone so it glitches sometimes.
Normal reqs or er's wont be closed unless I make a post about it or in the event of a irl emergency. But if that happens, I will make a post about it! Im not expecting anything like that any time soon so don't worry! If there are any questions, let me know.
