hi! briize here to answer ur riize qns :D
riize gained attention initially due to 1) sungchan & shotaro & their new grp 2) a bit bc of anton being yoon sang's son and 3) siren mv because of their difficult choreo!
personally, their success in enlargening their fanbase probably came from tiktok as well? i saw them getting viral in tiktok due to the get a guitar challenge, sohee's talk saxy bridge & anton being 'riize's tiktok social manager' since he (and the members) were rly active in liking and commenting briize's tiktoks + creating rly gen z tiktoks w themselves too
their mainstream success probably came from 1) their performances (they debuted nearing towards award season, so they did a lot of performances i.e. rising sun by tvxq which highlighted their proficiency a lot) & 2) the members' visuals going viral (i.e. wonbin & sungchan who are constantly getting mentioned by hong seokcheon)
riize has rly become monster rookies since they debuted, earning rookie of the year titles less than 6 months of their debut. sohee is being lauded by his seniors for his vocals, wonbin is constantly on the spotlight for being a 'once in a generation' visual who's likened to jaejoong (and jaejoong knows this as well).
and although most news do center on seunghan's situation, that still pushes riize's name to the forefront, esp when it comes to briize's relentless support (rii7e forever 🥹)
and yes, there's no leader! they don't exactly have set titles aside from the basic dancer, vocal, rapper (sohee's the only one labeled as 'main' as the main vocal!)
riize's name was formed by sungchan, and riize as a group was set to debut due to a choreo by shotaro & wonbin which the 7 of them did together. they still don't have a full album yet, and is going to comeback in april iirc?
hope i was coherent and it's helpful 😭
Hi, thank you for the detailed overview!
So several factors contributed: virality of challenges and choreo, timing of the debut, members' visuals. It's interesting that Anton supervises tiktok, heh. SM's early attempts at using the platform for promotion were very clumsy, the staff didn't know what to do, while few neos, aside from Tae, are interested in tt. Younger people are needed, who grew up with the platform and know it and its algorythms well.
I'm somewhat baffled about Seunghan's situation. I'd think he is on hiatus to let the group go through the debut stage more smoothly, have time to gain strength and a dedicated core fanbase, however, other members also get accused of things. And the fandom seems to stand with him, asking for OT7. Taeyong was also hated by knets during the debut, SM didn't remove him. Demands to get rid of Irene, Chen also were ignored. Which makes me think that either Seunghan's mental state plummeted and he asked for a leave himself. Or there are more idols and companies involved, I heard a rumour that one of the winners of Girls planet was taken out from the final debutet line-up (Illit) due to her connection to Seunghan's group of friends.
How dooes Riize function without a leader? Fans invented positions in the first place, and, as far as I know, NCT got theirs with a delay. It seems that it's a 5gen trend for groups to not have fixed positions.
A full album is too early. It takes a couple of years for a group to make one. Some groups never release a full album. But, perhaps, you meant an EP? I see only singles in their discography. 4 songs with language versions + 1 special project.
Wish also started with singles. So did aespa, actually. Seems like a new strategy in SM. 127's first EPs are poorely know. People buy/download single songs, and often don't look into the whole discography.

Was thinking about this again haha
Anyway I adore Hueso and Leo’s dynamic and wanted to include Hueso Jr in it because I like to think Leo can be shockingly good with kids

87 donnie might have some issues since the last time he showed his van to inter-dimensional brothers they didnt exactly appreciate it
someone once pointed out that most donnies issues are that they need to be told they did a good job, who better to hear it from than yourself?

I just like putting him in outfits. I also can’t put Donnie in a hood without thinking of Galois from @thedawningofthehour
I blame mostly @tangledinink and @teaableu for making me obsessed with limited color pallets. I love the “muted” look they can give (most of y’all know, my colors can sometimes be eyebleeding, so it’s nice to be forced to just do tiny pops of color)

Riize and NCT Wish debut strategies are different. Which is the right thing to do for two groups released almost at the same time with an overlap in targeted regions.
Riize is more on the catapult side and Wish is more on the natural growth side.
Existing popular members (Shotaro, Sungchan) and brand deals, model looks, a strong concept with sexual appeal fanservice, the main vocal's abilities are promoted from the get go. The downside is the attention from antis with accusations of big company privelege and nepotism, scandals, etc.
Survival show members, some spent only a few months in training. Pre-debut tour to build a bit of a fandom and gain experience. Appealing naive and cute concept. A mascot (everything Japanese needs a mascot). NCT brand name allows to escape the need to come in with a bang to be remembered right away. The downside is postponed recognition and popularity, however, at the same time it allows the members to get used to being idols and to benefit from the image of rookies to be rooted for and protected.
It's been only half a year since Riize's debut, and the members are already on the top of brand rep. The debut singles sold 1mln+. On the other hand, their Japanese single sold less than 1500 copies.
Wish it topping Oricon chart closing in on 100k of albums (it's a lot for Japan). Hanteo sales are close to 200k, and that without the Wichu version (mini album + plush mascot). The single will sell at least around 400k then. (Ah, the new times, "Empathy" sold in 2018 less than that).
Riize will go on a global fanmeet tour, with the aim at good size venues right away, huh. 7-13k capacity. They don't even have that many songs... heh.
Wish is going the rookie way: Weekly Idol, radio shows, Japanese TV shows, etc. The debut song is a "here we are" song, it's not meant to be a hit. It's meant to highlight and introduce the members. Which this performance demonstrates well. Get to know me Q&A.

Casey had been listening to Uncle Tello, at first, taking great care to absorb all his lessons for a future without him in it. But as he did so, listening to this man who he had known and relied on his entire life, who had carried him around on his shoulders like he was weightless as a child, who he had once watched run a literal mile-long race with his brother just to end an argument (Casey had timed it himself,) this person who had always, without question, been strong and capable and confident and indestructible in Casey's eyes, even despite the world they lived in, in spite of everything... he came to a horrifying realization.
Looking at him now, Casey was quite certain that if he were to wrap his fingers around his thigh, his fingers would touch.
Based on the latest arc in @somerandomdudelmao Apocalypse Series. I am being very brave and choosing to trust them.

now that bedlund has basically confirmed that the writers (well at the very least him but it’s likely more) perceived destiel and wrote with destiel in mind, i am soooooo curious to know when this started??? how early did they realize there was possibly more complex feelings between deancas???? at the very least for bedlund it sounds like it was s5 but i bet there were hints of it as early as 4x07. hell maybe even right after 4x01?????
