I dunno if I've mentioned her before (and a cursory search points to no), but I wanted to call attention to #InnahBee and her cover dances. Not all of them are #KPop, but most are.
Question time: The cast of We Are having multiple people who usually play the supportive friend role playing romantic leads this time around has me thinking...
Are there any supporting actors that you would like to see in a main role, for whatever reason?
(Natch, with the understanding that there are plenty of meaty roles that don't require being the romantic lead -- and in fact some supporting roles fit that bill.)
I realize this may seem obvious but from what Iโve seen on lives, some people have difficulty with this, and Iโm trying not to be a jerk about it, so:
Itโs okay to be sad that two artists whom you are used to collaborating together, stopped. Itโs okay to have an emotional reaction when your faves break up.
From idols groups, to acting ships, to a world famous dancing duo who were openly a couple, quietly breaking up, personally and professionally.
@glitchontwitch i wrote something longer to explain my thoughts better. am going to let it sit and come back to it again to make sure it's hopefully good enough before i send it to you.
@glitchontwitch Yep. This is something that will forever cycle in fandoms. There will always be new and/or young fans who need to be taught how to respectfully consume material and what is ok to approach creators with.
You know that one of the most difficult things for me and #writing is?
Making decisions.
When writing, thereโs a certain amount of collapsing possibilities, things that depend on other things so the more things are set, the more they set other things in order to be a cohesive whole.
Even just writing a scene narrows it down from the nebulous idea of the scene.
And that part is tricky for me. I have a habit of writing multiple versions of a scene. But that just makes branching stories.
@glitchontwitch Difficulties with decision making is one of my most significant problems and the hardest for most to understand. i started figuring it out when colouring-in books were a recommended thing for destressing and i'd get stressed out because it was so. many. decisions.
i can't write plot for other reasons but not bothering with it much does dodge collapsing possibilities. Conventions are over-rated, can you use your cognitive quirks to write outside-the-conventions stories?
@glitchontwitch i don't have any solutions. i've just withdrawn from most hot button conversations. no point in trying to contribute anything when it will just be read as if it were whatever turns me into an enemy to be taken down.
it's such a mess.
@JillsJoy itโs like, Iโm too distractible for anything else. Unless itโs short clips of fan stuff, but even that is hit or miss. Oops. :blobcatsip:
@glitchontwitch Can you do 12-15 minutes? I found one on youtube called You and My Stars ('Space' is 1st, 'Begin' is 2nd). By a group called Mind Trio, really impressed by the quality of their work.
It was very good for an evening when I didn't have the energy for big feels.
@emmaaum Iโm actually not sure. I know something Iโve either watched or tried to watch, is, but I canโt remember which. I just remember bc I tried to watch it and couldnโt focus on it enough to engage with the story. If Iโm thinking of the same show, that is.
@glitchontwitch No idea. All I know is it has very mixed reviews and a young Khaotung, and when I go look at its page I remember there's a warning tag I don't like which is why I haven't watched it yet, and there's a sequel or something which I also haven't seen because I always think, oh I should watch the one with baby Khaotung first and then I remember why I haven't. It's a bit of an endless circle ๐
@emmaaum I feel a little silly that I thought Nhai was just clumsy enough to trip while sitting before considering that Ai might be being a jackass.
To be fair, Nhai is very much a flake. Thatโs kind of his thing. Heโll drop things he just picked up bc heโs careless. He can get lost anywhere. And heโs always losing a plastic duck his father got him to teach him responsibility.
Heโs also an aeronautical engineer major in college.
โ[Paired acting duo] now dating after being caught kissing in public.โ Weird how the video thumbnail has:
โข one picture of them kissing โ from the show that popularized them
โข one picture of them being cute together at a fanmeeting โ you can see their in-ear headphones!
โข a solo promo picture of one of them
Seems legit.
I hate stuff like this. It comes up so often. Theyโre just there to scam whatever ad revenue they can off of clicks. And presumably itโs profitable enough to keep at it.
Thereโs more I can pick apart about the practice of these videos and how they parallel tabloids without the budget.
And some thoughts about how much of themselves performers do share just by being performers and maybe itโs a good idea to let them set the pace for that, instead of trying to grab more.
Like, when I say I aggressively โdonโt careโ if theyโre dating or not, itโs not that Iโm hostile to them datingโ or not dating. Iโm not even hostile to finding out that theyโre dating. Good for them, etc.
But I am hostile to the flurry of people who insist on making it my business (which it isnโt) for their personal gain, ideological or financial.
Thought: Languages have textures, particularly when spoken by native speakers. But a lot of the language learning tools donโt have the same texture, like itโs sanded down to be more easily understood by someone who doesnโt speak it yet.
Because Iโm learning Korean, and watching Korean media, itโs easier to spot in that context. But also, remembering how both Duolingo and Rosetta Stoneโs Spanish lessons sound, it happens there too. Thereโs a flow thatโs missing.
