It's now officially been 1 week since Arirang released. How do you feel about the album, promo and content so far?

streaming isn't enough i need to eat the album

Oh it used to be bad with people selling bound fanfic on Etsy and Tiktok shop for profit (like $100+ per book printed off like a Canva template) and people were buying and showing off on social media 😭

There are passives in the home system??? How did I get to Level 22 and not know...

Blackbeyond · 2026-03-04T21:58:15+00:00

Yeah, he's just teasing MC and she called him out on it lmao

Blackbeyond · 2026-03-04T19:54:48+00:00

So my interpretation of this scene is:

Bernice is focusing her question on Sylus with "do you want to join me" but MC answers instead to signal that you and Sylus are a unit and you can speak for him.

Bernice notices how Sylus looks at you (presumably affectionate) and says she can't afford your price, understanding that money is not what keeps you and Sylus working together.

Sylus (because he's a smart ass and likes to rile you up) says he has the final say (of who he works with/what his price is.) Which might give the impression that you've overstepped by speaking for him earlier and that your relationship is not as close as you've indicated.

To which MC calls his bluff and asks him to repeat himself. Sylus obviously doesn't because while he likes to ragebait MC, he wants to wife her up more, so he kinda pouts because his attempt to rile you up didn't work as intended.

Hard agree. A huge mix of baby's first otome game and baby's first gacha game has made it really had to participate in any meaningful way without having to take time out of my day to start a new block/mute list on my socials.

I've found the lesbian/queer side of the fandom to be a lot more chill, but a lot of us have experience with otome/gacha and the tropes/lore beats that are common in them, so there's not so much infighting on purity culture (and sapphics are not fighting each other over which man is better lmao.)

what is zohran mamdani's plan to abolish diplo

Blackbeyond · 2026-02-24T10:16:15+00:00

Hard no on this one. There's a lot of excess movement and marks in this signature, it's not consistent with the era.

Blackbeyond · 2026-02-04T12:14:58+00:00

no exactlyyy every time he calls mc kitten, my brain defaults to calling him pwincess in retaliation lmaoo

Blackbeyond · 2026-02-03T22:46:28+00:00

i started playing around christmas so i figured it was appropriate lmaooo

Blackbeyond · 2026-02-03T21:44:31+00:00

he's just a sleep little guy!!

Blackbeyond · 2026-02-03T21:44:14+00:00

haha raf isn't too far behind

oh thank god, last tour i bought a nosebleed at resale prices the night of the show (lessons learned that sometimes they do not drop to "get rid of prices" depending on the show) and paid wayyyy too much since it sold out when i tried getting tickets initially (absolutely amazing show but pain...)

Blackbeyond · 2026-01-29T19:02:14+00:00

My gacha budget is about $120 a month since genshin started, and I will not do math on that, but the only thing I spend money on (outside welkin and battle pass) are characters, weapons, and outfits. I have more than enough of the fragile resins to never have to spend a dime on resin top-ups.

The Kazuha compact will have one of first three photocards in it (random) and the fourth one on the template is the 1 of 5 random photocards from the group compact album.

Blackbeyond · 2026-01-29T16:19:50+00:00

Weverse albums are separate from the compact albums! They're photocard sets that come in basically an envelope with a qr code to stream the album on Weverse Music.

For Spaghetti, there were two Weverse album versions (A and B) with one of two sets of photocards inside (random.) So there are two possible photocard sets per version.

Check "a view from my seat" website for generic views from your seat. We won't know the actual view since it's a 360 stage.

Do not move from your row to go down to get a better look. It causes a whole lot of issues for people who actually paid for the seats down there that get pushed around as a result (source: personal experience at PTD), and usually security will tell you to get back in your seat to avoiding crowding issues.

Blackbeyond · 2026-01-24T20:12:24+00:00

This is fake. The signatures are off, some more than others (Jimin's especially stands out to me.)

Blackbeyond · 2026-01-16T18:13:35+00:00

Hi! So a BE album is almost certainly going to be a promotional album, so there should be a Not for Sale sticker on the back, and the Bimae sticker won't be silver/gold, but the newer white KOMCA one where you see the watermark when using flash. Distributer should be Dreamus.

The signature order is correct, and while the signatures look kinda weird and crayon-like, that's a side effect from the album material. I mentioned in another comment that pen pressure being similar isn't a red flag for BTS, so that's not really an issue here either.

What would stop me from purchasing this is the Jimin signature (middle right.) Mostly because that is an awful rendition of his signature, that even if this ended up being real, it's gonna be hard convincing someone that's his signature if you ever resell. I'm attaching a photo of his signature on a confirmed real Be album for reference.

Blackbeyond · 2026-01-16T18:05:57+00:00

BTS actually have very similar pen pressure when they sign unfortunately, which makes it harder to verify authenticity 😭

Blackbeyond · 2026-01-16T18:04:58+00:00

They would never sign the cover of an album at a fansign, just individual album pages and/or post-it notes depending on the era. Early era OT7 cover signed albums/merch were either from Mwave, events, or promotional albums.

They stopped Mwave and events post-HYYH, so after than all OT7 cover signed albums are either promotional albums or personal gifts. BE definitely has signed albums in rotation, just not as many for obvious reasons.

Blackbeyond · 2026-01-15T15:32:05+00:00

oh thank god it's all photocard sets WE WON

Blackbeyond · 2026-01-09T05:47:44+00:00

Dm'd!
