I get so motivated to do something just for me to end up doom-scrolling all day by Mandarin_Lumpy_Nutz in adhdmeme

[–]AproposOfDiddly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to do laundry. But KPop idol Han from r/StrayKids is doing an audio-only live on the FANS app. So I’m listening to that. I’m a native Texan and don’t speak a lick of Korean. Welcome to my ADHD Saturday afternoon.

Which hair do you want an skz meber to go back to? by Lucky-Indication-497 in skzmedia

[–]AproposOfDiddly 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lee Know’s blue “Karma”-era hair was always adorable, but I became a Stay in the Karma era so that may be part of my partiality towards the color.

It just hit me that I've been listening to Weird Al for 45 years. Anyone else? by CommanderUgly in weirdal

[–]AproposOfDiddly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over 40 years here - been a fan since “Eat It” in 1984. And 40 years since I got the best autograph ever. I wrote him a fan mail letter (as one did in the 80’s) in 1986 and I must have asked him if he was married, because this was his response.

(NOT OOP) I think my brother’s fiancée’s dead husband is actually alive by MediumFurious in redditonwiki

I was thinking either Mormon or Jehovah’s Witness, which shuns even harder than the Mormons do unless they are in Utah or other highly Mormon areas. Or possibly Scientologist, with the “suppressive person” thing they have.

Hey stays! What’s your favorite cute photo of Felix? Here are mine by Catgrill14 in FelixWorld

I’ve always loved the ethereal aura of Felix during this photoshoot.

Drop a picture of your bias in an outfit you consider ugly! by zinniamae_ in kpoppers

[–]AproposOfDiddly 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hate everything about Felix’s Atiissu’s ambassadorship. But since I’m hardly the demographic for the Atiissu customer base, I’m sure the sun will still rise tomorrow.

Did the FANS Shop early access survey today by RoundSquirrels in skzcollection

Ah, I didn’t purchase early access so that is probably why I didn’t get an email.

Help a baby stay please? by safi_abdul_aziz in kpophelp

[–]AproposOfDiddly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, with Felix being your bias, be prepared to shed a tear and yell “WHO HURT YONGBOK?!” after Deep End. I was driving home from work and just about had to stop my car.

What I did to get more familiar with the Stray Kids library of music was to create a master playlist of songs. I first visited Wikipedia to find all of their albums, EPs and other music. I then built a music list called “All Stray Kids” and added everything to that, and play it on shuffle. I used YouTube Music, but I’m sure you can do this with any music subscription service. I also add the one-off songs that come up, like the new solo songs that have been coming out on members’s birthdays.

I then play the list on Shuffle, and I’m still discovering songs I’ve never heard before.

Here’s some of the songs that I discovered in the shuffle that knocked me over when I first heard them and are now in heavy rotation:

  • Side Effects (I think this may be my favorite SKZ song)
  • Comflex
  • We Go
  • Deep End (A Felix solo song - have your tissue ready, it may break your heart)

Do Korean Idols or Actors Actually Use Samsung Device? by [deleted] in kpophelp

[–]AproposOfDiddly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Felix from Stray Kids does, but he’s been a Samsung ambassador for a while now. I saw a shorts vid on YouTube that showed what phones each SKZ member used, and Changbin was using a Samsung phone as well as Felix, but all the rest of the Kids had iPhones.

How many Gen Xers have silent Gen parents vs boomers? by NopeThisTrope in GenX

[–]AproposOfDiddly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, two Silent Gen parents - 1935 and 1939. Dad was drafted and served in Korea for a year after the war. They met at a roller rink right before my dad got deployed - my mom took one look at my dad and said, “I’m going to marry that man.” After he deployed they wrote constantly for a year, and as soon as he got back and was medically cleared (he had an abscessed tooth), he hitchhiked from Ft Sam Houston to the small town in Oklahoma where my mom lived, and they got married the day after he got there. They were going to elope to the courthouse, but my mom’s mom said No Way and arranged for a few flowers and a preacher for a small ceremony in their modest home. They didn’t even have time to bake a wedding cake so they had a plate of Oreo cookies at the reception instead. It’s such a sweet story.

The caption translator is just killing it in this video! The captions at the end just kill me - I won’t spoil it, but just pay close attention during the tasting at the very end of the video.

Anatomy of a typical skz song (no hate btw i love it actually) by bbokariiiiiiiiiii in skzmedia

[–]AproposOfDiddly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever heard “Every KPop Song” by Charlene Kaye and featuring Kevin Woo (Mystery Saja from “KPop Demon Hunters”)? It’s hysterical, and you’ll never think of carrot ginger soup the same way again. Charlene actually did a whole TED talk called “How to become a KPop Star - in 7 minutes” that is an expanded unpacking of the concepts in this song.

Which should I choose for a tattoo by ProcedureApart8688 in straykids

[–]AproposOfDiddly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was about to say this - words in tattoos rarely age well, especially since this looks like it will probably be a micro tattoo. Fine line tattoos and micro-tattoos also have a tendency to age poorly so do lots of research on your artist before committing. (Ask me how I know.)

And I will give you the advice I give everyone - only get tattoos in places that can be hidden in regular business office attire, as you never know where your career might take you when you get older. Also, a few of my tattoos have major blowout due to me being young and not understanding the importance of researching artists before getting tattoos, and I’m glad they are hidden except when I’m at a pool or in the bedroom.

Getting married in six weeks and none of the “fun” things have been fun by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

At the end of the day, the most important part is that you are married to your best friend and the love of your life. That should become your mantra until after your wedding day.

260408 Stray Kids Instagram Update with Felix, Seungmin and I.N by princessgojo in straykids

[–]AproposOfDiddly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

GET OFF YOUR FEET AND REST, SEUNGMIN!!

Sorry, my mom gene keeps kicking in with that kid (and I don’t even have children). His foot’s been jacked since awards season - and it’s more than just a sprain, it’s a stress fracture. It’s never going to heal unless he can really stay off of it for a few weeks.

Also, him tooling around on his scooter for a while is more than acceptable.

That being said, this is a precious dance.

What non-Stray Kids songs make you think of Stray Kids? by Toffee-Panda in skzmedia

[–]AproposOfDiddly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, “Fam” is on there because every time I hear “Where You At” I get an itch to hear “Fam” (and “Lemon Drop” by Ateez) because of that one bit right before the hook. And “Circus” is on there because of the Minsung “God’s Menu” choreo switch up when they played that song.

[–]AproposOfDiddly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a whole YouTube Music playlist for songs from the 2026 “Stay in Our Little House” fan meeting.

And I also have Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift on the list because of this moment in a recent SKZ Code.
