wild idea: if you don't have anything nice to say about the daesang winners, maybe just shut your pie hole
They worked their ASSES off and immediately turned around to humble themselves deeply in gratitude for everyone behind them - staff, fans, seniors, juniors, supportive people all around the world
You don't have to like them, but the least you could do is show them some respect
@pixelcats I am So. So. SO. Tired. I don't expect everyone to agreed with every award, but jfc, it costs nothing to just sit down and shut up if you can't even fake happiness for the winners
@lookitmychicken give me a few to remember where it started, though I'm sure there's compilations already made because it's A Thing (with ATINY split on how serious he is about it), but the shortest form is Mingi and Yunho have known each other Since Before The Beginning (also knows as grade school) and made all these plans to do things together. Plans that Yunho then "betrayed" by doing things with other members instead of with Mingi. Insert pouting Mingi complaining about this betrayal here. 🤣
@lookitmychicken I want to say Mingi, but his biasers tend to be Very Loud, so it's hard to measure. Plus a significant portion of ATINY are 8-makes-1-bias-team, so there will doubtless be A LOT of barking at the concert, regardless. 🤣
🤔 who's your SKZ bias? Maybe I can direct you better from there....
@lookitmychicken as far as I know, it's very wish-fulfillment fans sometimes do rather than anything based in official statements
And to be fair, even if it WAS something 3Racha and Hongjoong/Edenary had quietly going on between them, I'd be surprised if anyone actually SAID that.
Won't stop me from being amused by the idea of WooBin passing "secrets" between the two groups to coordinate themes or some such.
@lookitmychicken They're shot in different enough locations and with different enough focuses that I wouldn't have connected them if you hadn't set that seed, but now that you have, yeah, there's a familiarity in the feel of them.
(Which I, as a shameless fan of SKZTEEZ-shared-plot/lore theories, will happy add to the pile)
@lookitmychicken So okay, I've been to an awards event where audio was piped into the halls/restrooms/other spaces so attendees stepping out of the active ceremony space for [x] reason could keep track of where they were in the program ... meaning I'm now picturing Han in the toilet, doing whatever, and then realizing what's happening and going into Official Panic Mode
A lot of times I'd have sports on. A game might turn into a moderate distraction if things suddenly get intense in the game itself, otherwise it makes a good excuse to get together & pretend to watch a game when really we're just catching up with each other (or I'm home alone doing housework).
In theory, something we've all seen a dozen times could work, up until it got to That One Really Good Bit. 😂
@lookitmychicken Honestly, for me it really depends on the friend group and why we're hanging out. If I'm hosting and it's not to watch a movie or a game, I'd probably still have the TV on for Spotify, but turned down for ambience purposes.
I'm someone who's pretty used to the idea of using the TV for background noise, but it's also pretty specific to using the *TV* - I can't do that on my laptop, video there I have to watch or I'll get twitchy.
@lookitmychicken They're ponying up BOUNCY from themselves and given J.Balvin is a self-confessed non-dancer that feels potentially evil. I'm looking forward to it. 🤣
