What do we know about this show? Do we have any more details about this show?! Maybe SK is gradually coming into a new era of LGBTQI+ acceptance (at least in media)??? 🌈🌈🌈 https://www.allkpop.com/article/2022/05/south-korean-ott-platform-wavve-under-discussion-for-a-new-gay-dating-entertainment-program
I WAS JUST TALKING TO KEVIN ABOUT THIS OMG. Your link (which, allkpop is trash but I'll allow it because there's not much else about this out there):
And here's the text so you ain't even gotta click if you don't wanna.
Tumblr media
Oh look boys kissing! No? Identifiable boys close to each other! Definitely gay boys! Still... no?
Tumblr media
No seriously I stole that pic straight off of KBIZoom talking about the EXACT SAME SHOW POSSIBILITY - but they had to censor the shots in case anyone thought the models might be ... kinda GAY. I believe we see closer stuff than that on your average Memories DVD:
Tumblr media
BUT ANYWAY Kevin and I were discussing it - he brought it up. And I was like "uh BL (boy love) is a huge market, it'd be stupid not to make some bank on it" and he goes, "This is Korea. Boy love as a genre is acceptable here because it's fiction. A reality show with actual people willing to be out on television is going to be a hard sell for both the audience and the potential cast." So I go well what about the fact that they're even considering it then, and he goes,
"Considering, curious about, beginning market research on, all words that mean this is not something that is ready to happen here yet. Maybe in the next administration, but not now. They probably started round-table-ing this idea a year ago, but with Yoon in office? It's not happening. Give it a few years to let the idea simmer and see what the next President does." But my trash white American girl opinion is that of course it would be a great idea -- in theory, it could open some eyes. Except that the conservatives wouldn't watch it. Much like Drag Race here and in Europe, it would be a niche market for the first few years. WATCH ME JUST DIGRESS HERE I DO THAT SOMETIMES
Tumblr media
Kim Chi competed on and nearly won Season 8 of RuPaul's Drag Race, and is a Korean man with Korean parents. He is 34 years old and at the time he competed, his mother knew only that he was a gay makeup artist. His father and his brother didn't even know he was gay. And I'm not sure they know now. And this dude lives in Los Angeles by way of Chicago. I can't imagine what his life would be like in Seoul, or Daegu, or Busan. And while Kev agreed that yeah, okay, drag is a step farther, he also said, interestingly, that drag might have been MORE acceptable to his own Korean mother (rest her soul) than having a gay son would have been. Because he could have argued that he was into it for the theater - a bit of Japanese kabuki styling - versus "oh hey eomma I do sexy time with men, woke up gay today, bit fruity."
So the upshot is that gay fiction is one thing, but gay reality is entirely another. We're back to the "we don't talk about those things here, it isn't polite." Enjoying the romantic drama of two young (they're always young, Kevin noted, not being particularly young himself) pretty men is not the same thing as seeing Jungshin from accounting on a dating show.... for GAY PEOPLE. And Kevin pointed out that honestly, even BTS are seen as fictional characters in Korea (and likely elsewhere). The idea that they are real human men with real romantic interests and real sex drives doesn't really fly, there. Not yet, anyway. So the "boy love" aspect is fine, as long as they're young, famous, pretty, and they don't admit to TOO much.
Tumblr media
This is okay. ETA: and the above shot is edited, in case anyone didn’t know. See my fictional character point?
Tumblr media
This is okay. But if they kissed or came out, that would NOT BE OKAY. And Taekook is not real, but the Jeon Parks are about as loud as they can get what with dropping honorifics like that, so as long as they're riding the line of fiction vs reality they're still okay. Full on reality or even depicting reality, though, is still not okay - at least, not on the Seoul Broadcasting Network (SBS), who censored out the kisses in "Bohemian Rhapsody", the Freddie Mercury biopic as recently as 2021. And that caused some backlash on the internet:
But it hasn't changed a thing on the networks. YET. Maybe someday. Hope springs eternal.

What about pigeons?
Tumblr media
damn you two are on the same wavelength arent cha??
pidgeons are chill. i find it really sad how we as humans effectively bred them to be pets and to be reliant on us, (see carrier pidgeons) but then effectively abandoned them and now regard them as pests.
i think theyre really cute! have you seen fancy pidgeons?? some of them have curly feathers, no joke! and theyre actually very pretty birds
also it is a life long aspiration of mine to one day just pick up a pidgeon.
one day ill do it.

Very glad I’ve never seen anyone seriously argue against kris/berdly. I mean out of all the ships to get upset at that seems the dumbest one to get your shorts in a twist about. But then again, I’d rather not see any of the ships I like get argued against every 2 seconds especially if the arguments are the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen with my 2 sets of eyeballs. (which considering most of the ships i like/ship are the popular/popularish ones, this can be a hard task)

*sigh* once more having to explain to people that I didn't watch disney or ghibli as a kid, that we had restricted amounts of tv times and usually watched recorded movies with my dad and thus I grew up on the german dub of bud spencer and terence hill movies until we were old enough for the saturday evening crime show (ncis, also, german dub, dinner had to be finished by 20:15) which then became a weekly ritual for like. 2 or 3 years.

Sage your Ghostbur art is so cool! I love the design of the yellow flowers across his body and the blue seeping out of his body and eyes!
AHHHHH THANK YOU!!
most of it started just cause I wanted to do flower symbolism stuff and just kinda stuck with it, and the blue from his wound and eyes was just kinda based off some aspects of canon and other designs I saw
the first time I drew him it was fairly similar to the one I posted earlier, where he had the blue eyes/blue on his sweater/and yellow flowers, and I think I actually started doing the other flowers because of that one fanart I reblogged like 20 times in a row (and then queued a bunch of times)
it’s missing him hours rn so I was messing around with my design some more ^^

My alarms were ringing while watching *that* Amy Cuddy video during a class today and I gotta say I might be fully right thinking that. Quick searches show she was taking a stance with someone claiming being trans is harmful (not surprising when a chunk of the talk is saying that Testosterone makes you aggressive/more forward, a major talking point people try to use against trans women and poc and also calling it the dominant hormone) and also someone mimicked her experiment with a lot more people and it seems that power poses didn't do anything. It also seemed like she was trying to evoke some inspiration porn (while talking about IQ, another thing I'm always wary about) and made no mention of what helped her get through college and saying it was just power poses. Did you get help going through college??? You're still a white cishet woman like. I can 100% seeing you having no problems paying for school and not having to work during that education. People doing these kinds of things recognize that privilege exists please.

youre the only one getting the trolling right at this day and age... everything ive been seeing is just people being extremely bigoted and then saying its satire because they got jumped online. i have to reread some parts and just stare at my computer in utter horror of the words you put out on screen , godspeed i am sorry in advance if i sound like an absolute tool in your askbox
thank you!! sorry about the “horror” i think idk if that’s a good or bad thing. but yeah i always hated those kinds of trolls not only is it obviously bigoted and gross but it’s not enjoyable for anyone involved except the “troll” themselves and lazy and just generally an insult to trolling as an art form. i’m so sick of this generation of trolls doing shit like this and even when i find a good troll i look at their acc and see that they do this shit as well.

Finally finished Loki and Dr. Strange/Multiverse of Madness and I've concluded that we definitely branched off into another timeline at some point in 2012 and then again in 2016 into a really weird one and why can't superheroes be real and come fix it

would you consider 'you're leaving me? is this goodbye?' a bit manipulative and fucking insane after telling a mutual that you'll be spending less time on tumblr to focus on your last semester of college even though you never said you were leaving indefinitely? 🤔🤔🤔
i think by default ‘you’re leaving me?’ is an emotionally charged question and depending on the context of the situation it can become manipulative. in the context of you focusing on school for a while and not being around as much, it feels like they are being over dramatic as hell. idk if thats supposed to be an ironic kind of over dramatic like theyre joking around or they genuinely are asking you that and expecting you to take it seriously.
either way, if it were me i would just repeat what i already told them and then tell them not to talk to me like that, cuz its uncomfy. i only tolerate that sort of ironic jokey humor from trusted friends i know aren’t ACTUALLY trying to manipulate and guilt trip me, and even then i have trouble with reading tone so i set boundaries for what i’m able to handle. if its from a tumblr mutual i’m just acquaintances with tho?? or even a friend who i don’t do that humor with? thats gonna set off a lot of alarm bells in my head and i’ll set a hard boundary for them to uhhh fucking not.

How does one be as cool as you?
😳💖💞
I feel like the secret is in realizing that other people are people and allowed to do with their bodies and time and interests and space whatever the fuck they want. Not meddling in other people's business + respecting boundaries + not getting angry over stuff you cant (or shouldnt) control + just like. Enjoying what you enjoy and not letting other people cross your boundaries or put you down with their own demands and projections.
Like dont get me wrong im an absolute hater. I get annoyed at the mildest shit sometimes. That absolutely does not give me free reign to shit on people or make public complaints or demands. I have learned to whine in private, i have learned that judging a whole ass person over something trite is ridiculous. I have learned that the state of the world is such that worrying about being cringy on the internet is only gonna make you worse, both mentally and to people that actually matter to you.
Just. Ya know, be free and let others be free.

Thinking about how I unfollowed someone after 2 strikes: them posting an incorrect ask without doing research that claimed something incorrect about the people who made BATIM. And then throwing a fit about the programmer returning to make the second game, but also acting like FNaF was better because Scott "no longer profits" (which is debatable and likely untrue, especially at the time).

what about Valentino, Vox and maybe Stolas when their card declines on a date,yk those couple of gut wrenching awkward seconds before their s/o nervously offers to pay. Thank you in advance if you take this up <3
Wait, what?!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Valentino
"I'm sorry sir, your card declined."
Val sat there for several moments, mind taking a minute as he'd never actually heard those words in that order directed at him.
Turning away from you, he'd stare at the server, the feline demon patiently standing there.
Val sat there for another minute, comprehending the utter fucking audacity of a bitch.
"Your fucking with me right?"
He asked, genuinely giving her a chance to back peddle.
When she just kept standing there, Val jumped to his feet, scowl flaring crossing his features.
"Bitch, I dont need a fucking card, I own the fucking building!" He screamed at her, the girl stumbling back.
He'd go off, snarling at the girl for disrupting your date night, and for something so fucking stupid.
By the end of his rant the restaurant owner had come out, trying to mediate the situation.
He'd chewing him out, asking what kind of incompetent shitheads he hired.
As he did, you'd approach, placing a hand on him. He'd spin around, prepared to snarl at someone, but quickly backed down, shoulders slumping.
You'd take his hand in your own, leading him back to your table, sitting down.
You'd sit in silence for a little while, the restaurant popping up with some 'Complementary Desserts', the two of you eating in silence before he sighed, taking your hand into his.
"I'm sorry for blowing up like that in front of you." He spoke softly.
He was always sure to keep a certain image for you. He did a lot of bad things, far more then even you knew about, as such he did his best to keep a certain image in your eyes.
And loosing his cool and screaming at some girl wasn't helping said Image.
You sighed, smiling as you squeezed his hand.
"It's alright, I'd probably lose my cool too if my employees asked me something like that."
Val chuckled at that, leaning in to kiss your hand.
"I could apologise to her if you'd like?" He asked softly.
To which you'd laugh, scoffing as you waved him off. "Please, as if. That dumb bitch asked you for a credit card in your own club."
At that Val broke into laughter, getting up and stantching you up, kissing you deeply as he carried you out of the restaurant, the two of you only kissing deeper as you left the restaurant, your kissing only getting more heated as you made it to your Limo.
Vox
The night had been set up so perfectly.
He'd gotten a reservation at an extremely classy joint, but not too classy. He wanted it to be like 'yeah, I've got a shit tone of money, but we can still talk without people glaring at us'. That kinda fancy.
So there you were, at the end of an incredible meal, the two of you dining on some very tasty deserts when Vox had given his card, a Luxury very few in Hell had, to pay for your meal.
And as the server came back, the man expecting to be given his card back, instead the server leaned in, speaking those simple words.
"I'm sorry sir, your card was declined."
The Television headed Demon froze, screen glitching as he processed what the actual Hell they'd just said.
Vox turned to the server, staring at them for several moments before he got up, grabbing the server before getting up, and spinning them around, growling at him what the fuck he meant.
He fucking dragged the server away, getting the fucking manager, the two having an exceptionally unsubtle screaming match in the kitchen at the insult to him, Vox, fucking King Teck of Hell, having his fucking card brought back.
After some apologetic words from the manager and getting your meal comped, he'd return.
He'd act as though nothing happened, the man acting all cool and composed, while you just went along with it, finishing your deserts.
And despite the incident, you'd go on to have a lovely night, the man taking you back to his place where you ended the night on a spectacular note.
You had tea, and suggled on a couch and just shared some wholesome intimacy.
Stolas
The night was going incredibly.
You'd been enjoying your meal, talking and laughing, telling stories and jokes, it felt like the science block of a highschool, cause you had chemistry.
The night was going so well, that he was barely aware when he paid the bill, the man in the middle of a hilarious story when the server came back.
"Your card was declined."
He spoke bluntly, with no tact whatsoever.
Stolas froze, head snapping up at him, a frown quickly crossing his face as he stared at the server, the man simply staring back, hand extended, clearly expecting payment.
And so, without missing a beat, Stolas raised his hand, still with a frown, he'd wave his hand, a portal about the size of a dinner plate appearing besides him, before he simply reached in, before pulling out a sack, dropping it before him, the sack opening to reveal a small stack of golden coins.
Pulling out a few he dropped them into there servers hand, telling him bluntly.
"For the bill. No tip."
The server, grumbling to himself, turned and left, the man growling all the way.
Clearing his throat, he'd adjust his attire before turning back to you, finishing his story.
You'd go on to have another desert, Stolas paying with gold, expecting full change.
Which he'd get, with a saide of stink eye from the man.
After the desert and another glass of wine, you'd head back to his, and after another bottle of wine, you'd end up sleeping together.
No, not sex. You'd curl up on one of Stolas' more comfortable couches, the big owl man holding you close, the events of the night long gone from your mind as you slept the night away, comfy and happy in his embrace.
