@lookitmychicken that’s a time that might work for me actually. I’ll see if I can make it. :blobcatdance:

Thought: Languages have textures, particularly when spoken by native speakers. But a lot of the language learning tools don’t have the same texture, like it’s sanded down to be more easily understood by someone who doesn’t speak it yet.

Because I’m learning Korean, and watching Korean media, it’s easier to spot in that context. But also, remembering how both Duolingo and Rosetta Stone’s Spanish lessons sound, it happens there too. There’s a flow that’s missing.

@lookitmychicken pffft. Also, the fact that they’re both in the baggiest of baggy tops (okay not really, but still!) adds a layer of funny to this for me.

I am probably over-explaining but I don't use nsfw as a rating.

I use it for: will it cause a problem if your boss sees it over your shoulder? So it doesn't have to be particularly explicit. And even in some cases I'll mark things that aren't at all but can be mistaken as such.

I guess what I'm saying is: I don't trust workplaces? :blobcatfingerguns:

@lookitmychicken pfft. Don’t mind me I’m just amused at BamBam showing up.

@lookitmychicken @chronosaurus it was in viki last I checked

Cool just re-checked. It’s still there:

#KpopMonday time :blobcatfingerguns:
The theme is #Creature

So lets get it started with #VIXX bc of course I'm starting with them. :blobcatdance:

While doing shows there were two special remixes of Scentist (향), one of which is relevant to this theme. Resurrection has them reprising their #vampire concept of On & On, with a more classical flair. (Also, note the new rap by Ravi, and changes in the choreo, both of which reference On & On).

More #KpopMonday #Creature time!

And it would be remiss of me to not include the time #VIXX tried their hand at a #Werewolf concept on Heroes of Remix. Also they're singing in Chinese, which is exactly none of their native languages.

For an extra bonus -- see if you can find Hyuk cheering VIXX on from the audience... while he's also on stage. (On that note, please don't blame the audience for any lack of rhythm. They're clearly not hearing what we are.)

Even more #KpopMonday #Creature time! Let's keep the #Werewolf theme going.

From Starlight to ATINY, In #KingdomLegendaryWar #Mayfly (a team with members from: #ATEEZ, #StrayKids and #BTOB ) sent in their performance line to do a cover of EXO's Wolf.

Watch for feral Felix and San, and Felix's leap of faith to Wooyoung. Just... watch for all of it. They're all feral, it's beautiful. :blobcatdance:

@aaribaud @jonathankoren @mcc @foone

Am I missing out on some kind of local instance community interaction? Yeah probably. But that's not why I'm here. That's not what I'm using masto for.

Those who do have that in mind, already have an idea what kind of instance they want to be on, and are less likely to get caught up in instance choice anxiety.

Which gets to point 2:

@aaribaud @jonathankoren @mcc @foone

2. There's a difference between "doesn't matter" and "will never matter". Getting very fixated on choosing the perfect instance in the beginning, to the point of just giving up is very much focusing on something that doesn't have to matter... yet.

I may decide that my instance is actually a bad fit for me. But it's better that I got on here and developed relationships which motivate me to stick around, than if I kept on holding off, like I was for months.

@aaribaud @jonathankoren @mcc @foone

While I do get your point, two things:

1. It's not a big if for someone new to masto to not use the local/federated timelines. And so, not consider them a factor. That's very much a fediverse concept -- anything analogous on centralized social networks will basically be a completely uncurated firehose. Not appealing.

I've been on here for approaching 2 years now, and I've checked my local/federated timelines maybe 10-20 times ever, if I'm being generous.

@lookitmychicken pffft. I mean, fair.

The fic just writes itself at that point. …One hopes.

Additionally, in this scenario, I suspect the scruffed kitten reaction to contact with neck might be why there’s already bite marks. Or is it the other way around. :blobcatthink:

@lookitmychicken insert “Seungmin in the building” joke here.

@liztai oof, fair. Though I did get the sharp reminder that lack of sleep in and of itself produces headaches. That said, yeah that’s not fun. Do you have anything that can help lighten the load?

@liztai ping me if you figure it out, bc “falling off the Internet to fixate on something to the point of a disrupted sleep schedule” is, surprisingly, ineffective.

@liztai Unleashed to the max is very very 90s.

@liztai Romance has a way of injecting itself into most dramas (actually, shows in general tbh), so that number gets artificially inflated by default. :blobcatfingerguns:

@bougiewonderland @JillsJoy @AnnaAnthro @liztai That one was so good. Haven’t seen it in forever though.

@liztai platform purity rhetoric also ignores the communities created by marginalized people in spaces that are hostile to them—a practice born of necessity.

It’s not like I don’t understand the concerns in question, but the situations aren’t always cut and dry.
