@lookitmychicken I have a few times come across instrumental covers of songs and gone "Oh, I LOVE this!" and looked up the original, only to discover that the original had lyrics and I much prefer the 'just music' version.

Also a few songs in languages I don't speak, where I love the way the song sounds, both the music and the singing, but the meaning of the lyrics leaves me uninspired.

@lookitmychicken The screen clarity! 🤩

@YiboSemiDaily I feel so intimidated every time I see this picture. Yibo is unhappy and disappointed in me. 😭

@lookitmychicken Yeah, I think a lot of people are like that, more likely to let things slide when it just affects themselves but ready to throw hands if it affects someone they care about.

I wonder sometimes if that might be a useful angle to take when trying to get people to be more polite to each other online (and offline). Instead of trying the empathy angle of "If you'd be upset to have this said/done to you, don't say/do it to others" go with "If you'd get mad about someone saying/doing this to your bestie, don't say/do it to someone else". I think at least some people would stop and think about their words and actions more if they framed them that way. I don't know if it would make a real difference though.

@lookitmychicken Thanks for the explanation, that was pretty much what I was guessing it must have been. I have seen WAY too many so-called 'fans' being pushy, entitled and rude, and treating their idols like their own personal playthings instead of real people. It's such sickening behaviour. I can understand an idol getting defensive and pulling back in the face of that kind of treatment.

@lookitmychicken I literally only know about these guys because of your posts, but now I'm curious. What happened at an airport?

@lookitmychicken You get such wonderful nail art. 😍

@lookitmychicken That's such a cute picture, you look like you're having an amazing time.

@HourlyCQL Which scene was this? The boys are clearly young, and they appear fairly relaxed here, but WWX has a ligature mark around his neck. It's been too long since I watched it, I don't remember what events this follows. Was it something relating to the Wen indoctrination camp? 🧐

@lookitmychicken *hugs* I hope you can get both relief and answers quickly.

@lookitmychicken Very good things! And I hope that lychee mousse cake was an delicious as it sounds, I love lychee-flavoured desserts and drinks.

@lookitmychicken Oh, nice! I like seeing things beautifully organised.

@lookitmychicken Cute! I love the lizard too.

@lookitmychicken Ah, I didn't realise he was 17 in the picture, I am officially much too old to be making jokes like that about people that young. 😬 Sorry.

I will therefore take the view that the lack of fanfic may be due to fans being aware of his age and making more appropriate choices.

That is, however, 100% the sort of fashion choice a 17 year old with a particular sense of humour would make.

@lookitmychicken Uh. Well then. That's going to be useful information for a lot of fanfic writers, I'm sure.

@lookitmychicken Tracking all these locations looks like a fun way to spend a day. 🙂

@lookitmychicken I regret googling that.

@lookitmychicken Did you also get the footstool, along with the other things? Or just the non-footstool items?

And your new friend is very cute.

@lookitmychicken That's looking really good already, but the great thing about having your own space is that you can move things around and see what different configurations you like best, and it's fun to try different ways and see what you like about each one.

(Also, please know that I am vicariously enjoying you claiming and decorating your home, and it's giving me motivation to get things done at my house too - we can both make our homes nice!)

@lookitmychicken Yay! Partial success! I guess you could try the vaccuum cleaner? It might also have rolled into a corner or under furniture?
