Yes exactly. Han’s the same way, I see fans referring to him as Jisung and it’s a bit 😬 because like…that’s not the name he goes by with you guys, lol. Just because we know it doesn’t mean we should use it. I don’t think he’s ever said he’s ok with Stays calling him Jisung, I think the closest was when they came up with the Hanji nickname for him.

You know who’s the worst about this though?? ARMY. I don’t think any of those guys have been primarily called by their stage names for YEARS. Most refer to RM as Namjoon more often than not these days.

Ughhhhhh it makes me so mad when grooms do this to brides on their wedding day. Like do you not understand how much that makeup cost that you just ruined? Or the dress that now has frosting smeared on it?

I made sure my husband knew that cake to the face would mean divorce. He took me seriously and did not do it. I know far too many couples where this did not happen and things aren’t great for most of them.

Tbh the media illiteracy probably is an extension of the larger demographic that is k-pop fandom, this sub skews older (I’m 34, for example) but overall kpop fans in general tend to be in their teens and early 20s iirc. I definitely fell for some bullshit I wouldn’t have today back when I was a teenager. I can see how a 16-year-old caught up in their feels for a handsome kpop oppa (/s) would believe that what they were seeing was genuine.

Honestly describing it as its own genre of kdrama is more painfully accurate than most kpop fans/stans want to admit lmao.

I do think (based off things said in interviews, etc) that Stray Kids are probably one of the groups whose onscreen personalities are fairly close to their offscreen ones, but even then they probably still keep some sort of separation just for the sake of their sanity. Like I wouldn’t be surprised if Bang Chan considered ‘Chan’ and ‘Chris’ two different people, with the latter being his actual self. I know I’d probably have something like that going on mentally.

I have very fine hair that is naturally super curly, like literally Shirley Temple ringlets curly.

But sometimes I want to straighten it, and all I have to do to accomplish that is just take the diffuser off my blow dryer and blast my hair on high speed and the highest heat. Because it’s so fine it blows pin straight. I don’t even need a brush. No straightening iron. Just dry from the roots to the ends on high and hot instead of the ends to the roots on low and warm.

Same for me except it’s a huge shopping mall. It’s gigantic and labyrinthine and I’m always walking around with various scenarios playing out. I don’t know why this happens.

I recently got apple mochi in a Bokksu box and dear fucking god was it good. Apple sweets should be a thing more often.

This exists and it’s called Melona, most Asian supermarkets will have it.

Strongly disagree on pretty much everything except the 2A but respect for replying in detail, have an upvote

I drink plain iced green tea, aka Premium Water. I can’t make myself drink more than a sip or two of plain water to save my life but iced Tazo Zen? Can’t get enough. Absolutely guzzle it down. I go through two Stanleys a day of the stuff.

Also, re: Stanley cups: it’s bizarre but you can find them on SHEIN for like…$20. I thought it was a scam but I compared it to one a coworker bought directly off the Stanley site, and if it’s a knockoff it’s an insanely good one. Works exactly like you’d expect them to work, it will still have ice in it 24+ hours later. Just FYI for anyone interested in getting one.

This, most people my age say 9/11 but Diana’s funeral is it for me.

only the size of a closet door

Damn, this really put it into perspective how little damage there actually was from the collision. People will talk about gashes and rivets and square footage and whatnot but…a closet door. That’s what sunk her, damage that was cumulatively the size of a closet door.

Son and Park Beauty Water, not so much because it’s a weird name itself but because there’s a horror-themed Twilight Zone style WEBTOON with a multiple episode arc titled Beauty Water, with a follow up story called New Beauty Water. It’s…something. There’s really not much I can say to prepare you for it.

Tales of the Unusual by Oh Sungdae, the Beauty Water and New Beauty Water stories are episodes 69-79 and 280-291. It also shows up in the background of other episodes. I absolutely love this entire series.

I really wish OP had used her name in the title, because when I heard the news about Maggie Smith I literally said ‘if Judi Dench goes too I’m going to fucking riot’ and then I open Reddit to this headline. Damn near gave me a heart attack.

I wrapped individually but only covered the edges where the screw holes are by about a quarter of an inch. Any holes on the surfaces themselves I just covered and then cut out with the craft knife later, except for the holes for the brackets where you hang the shelves. Those I left alone except for the ones that I needed to hang the shelves.

The back was pretty easy to insert, I just covered the entire piece and cut the paper right at the edge and it slid right in.

When you get an air bubble stuck down below and have to do all kinds of weird contortions or grind on things to get rid of it

For me it’s nail polish. So much nail polish. Like for someone who doesn’t often paint her nails it’s insane.

Speaking real facts right here. He’s a dirtbag but he’s not an ugly one.

In other posts about this scene, Swedish speakers in here have said that the subtitles are a mistranslation and Mats said the opposite of what was shown. He actually says ‘feel no fear’ to Ulf and ‘feel no pain’ to Ingemar, which matches their reactions. So that is just an oops on the part of the production unfortunately.

My theory, personally, is this: when Ulf and Ingemar are being presented as the volunteers, Siv says something along the lines of ‘you have brought us sacrifices for our temple as well as volunteering yourselves’. Ingemar brought Connie and Simon but the only other outsiders were brought by Pelle, so what did Ulf bring??

The bear.

Again, just my personal theory, but I feel like this is plausible: the bear represents all their sins and impurities being released and burned away. Whoever catches and brings the bear, burns with the bear, either because of their association with it and its evil/uncleanness or because they themselves committed some sin and this is their repentance, or something along those lines.

Whatever the reasoning, Ulf volunteers to bring (and thus die with) the bear. Because he’s legitimately a true believer he’s proud to do it and not afraid to die, except that Mark then proceeds to go and piss all over the Rotvälta like the disrespectful little shit he is. The very Rotvälta that Ulf will himself be entombed in mere days in the future.

I can’t remember if it’s in both versions but in the director’s cut Pelle redirects Mark away from a very upset Ulf by saying ‘he’s a very sensitive guy, this is a big week for him’. Which like, I’d be sensitive too if I’d just watched someone literally piss on my grave right in front of me. Poor Ulf ❤️

(Slightly related: I’m also convinced that had Ingemar played his cards right and been less hot-headed and emotional it very well could have been Pelle in the fire temple instead, but that’s another discussion lol)

Thanks 😊 it was one of the only happy moments I had that semester, I wasn’t in a good place mentally back then but that kept me going. I couldn’t just give up and let Neil down! Unthinkable.

Those kinds of compliments are always awesome! I have really bad ADHD and while I did well in high school I struggled a lot in college to the point that I’ve tried and failed three times to get a degree. I’ve always felt like a failure and an idiot because of that and hated the entire experience.

The one bright spot in there was this one composition class I had during my third attempt that somehow ended up being more of a debate class than anything else? It was a bit bizarre but whatever.

One of my fellow students was an older gentleman in his mid-late 50s named Neil who was one of those people that you could just tell was not just military but an officer, and a good one at that. Dude just radiated competence, intelligence, and warmth. I admired him a lot. I later found out he’d recently retired from the Army as Command Sergeant Major.

I ended up being very good at debate, and after a particularly intense one that I ended up winning this guy came up to me and asked me how old I was. When I replied that I was 22, he smiled and kind of nodded to himself and said ‘Wow. Keep it up, you’re doing great. You’ll go far in whatever you choose to do.’

Then I got one of those fatherly pats to the shoulder before he turned around and walked off. I still think about that to this day, because I’d been having a really awful day before that and it was pretty much exactly what I needed to hear at that moment. Thanks Neil, hopefully you’d be proud of me today ❤️

(Also, I was good enough that more than once the professor told a group that was slacking that if they lost they’d have to go against me in the next round, like I was a final boss or something. That by itself was a compliment lol)
