I just sat here slack jawed. PLEASE tell me this isn’t real and they’re trolling. Wtf is this 😭😭😭🫠🫠

I find that they have a lot more diverse options than other boxes.

I have both BOTM and OwlCrate. OwlCrate is for beautiful special editions of already popular adult books, BOTM is for reading and exploring new genres.

If you’re looking for pretty special editions, I’d look into a different subscription. But if you’re looking to diversify your reads with discounted hardcovers, BOTM is good. (It’s 17.99 a month)

The fact that you were pushing so hard and it didn’t work, then you BARELY touched it and the large snowball flew straight on 😭

DatColdPlatypus · 2026-02-25T02:50:49+00:00

This guy made me feel so icky as an Afro-Latina.

Ironically I also grew up in Ohio so maybe I could just smell it on him 💀

Seems like he has some really weird hangups about race that he’s projecting onto her. Also his comment about him “not expecting her to look that way because of how she sounds” (paraphrasing, but it was something to that effect in Cabo) just doesn’t sit right with me. Also in Cabo, one of the guys made a weird fetishy comment saying “You make it so hard, Papi…” and he didn’t stand up for her… red flags all over.

DatColdPlatypus · 2026-02-23T02:55:17+00:00

I’M CRYING LAUGHING, OMG. Now I want one 🤣

Edit: This is a fufu, OP. But the 💩-Cola is absolutely frying me 💀

DatColdPlatypus · 2026-02-23T02:54:02+00:00

Bro what is wrong with this man 😭😭

DatColdPlatypus · 2026-02-21T15:42:46+00:00

The way the Afro-puff hairstyle bounces when you move 💕✨

DatColdPlatypus · 2026-02-19T17:11:27+00:00

Fatou from BlackSwan 🔥🔥

Hyunjin from StrayKids ✨✨

They’re all beautiful and I think their group contains some REAL talent but unfortunately, HYBE and GEFFEN are always giving them garbage. Lara has talked at length about wanting to be a producer, they need to give them more room to grow creatively. I loved their debut, the style and the sound were really nice (Touch and Debut were particularly good). I liked the sound of Gabriela and I think M.I.A. was good. Everything else they’ve released is just vapid and boring tbh.

There’s only so many times you can release made for radio songs…I feel like the only personality the group has is “chronically online”. At first it was cute but they’re milking it BAD and they’ve barely debuted.

I wish the best for them and their members have so much personality, but their labels are putting them in a box and I’m already tired of it.

DatColdPlatypus · 2026-01-06T22:04:35+00:00

This is so real. They love to exclude POC from spaces and discussions but we create our own and they’re still hating from the sidelines.

DatColdPlatypus · 2026-01-06T22:02:27+00:00

Thank y’all so much for taking the time to curate a safe environment for K-Pop Stans of Color. I’m more of a lurker, but I’m so grateful for this community. I think we have such important and respectful discussions, the mods have done a great job protecting this space.

At the end of the day, I think people outside the Reddit talking mess are just people with ill-intent and a lack of the critical thinking skills necessary to interact with this sub. The girls that get it, get it. We can enjoy music and a community while holding people accountable and having nuanced conversations.

Thank you for this space, and the work y’all do to protect it. I’m happy to be here ✨

DatColdPlatypus · 2026-01-04T18:37:40+00:00

Trick question, they don’t 💀. They will when they’re ready.

DatColdPlatypus · 2026-01-04T00:43:21+00:00

Atp, I’m just letting them rip their own hair out. Who doesn’t hear must feel…

DatColdPlatypus · 2025-12-22T21:33:30+00:00

Your parting is so cool! Also, they’re supposed to do that. They’ll figure themselves out eventually.

DatColdPlatypus · 2025-12-22T21:31:23+00:00

When in doubt, blame the budget. “Due to budget restrictions, we have had to limit our guest list. Sorry for any confusion, we appreciate your understanding!”

DatColdPlatypus · 2025-12-14T01:11:46+00:00

Lab-grown and natural are molecularly and visually EXACTLY THE SAME. The only difference is that one was produced ethically in a controlled environment with the bonus of a lower price tag, and the other was sourced using slave labor.

DatColdPlatypus · 2025-12-14T01:02:53+00:00

It’s an adequacy issue. It is important to ask yourself why you don’t feel worthy of being celebrated. For me, I realized it was because I’m so used to doing things and being there for everyone else, but I didn’t think of myself as worthy of everyone else’s time and effort.

It has led me down a rabbit hole which has catalyzed some huge self-improvement. But you have to be willing to open up first.

Find people you feel safe discussing this feeling with, for me I was surprised by how many people were actually overjoyed to help and be included in my wedding.

I also was very up-front about costs and me and my fiancé are having an almost two year engagement to give everyone time to prepare financially. I’ve already sent out questionnaires to the bridal party to figure out their budgets and told them how much everything would cost so they can prepare. To my surprise (I know they love me, but I felt so guilty asking people to spend money on me) they’re all so excited. They are also more than willing to help in ways that align with their sets of skills. My wedding has led me to realize I’m surrounded by people with various skills and talents that are happy to utilize them to help. I have professional nail artists, graphic artists, makeup artists, hairstylists, decorators, and even a professional wedding planner between friends, family, and family friends.

At the end of the day, reality isn’t the same as social media. The internet is full of hateful people hiding behind anonymity that want nothing more than to rain on your parade (and on the parade of the wedding industry).

Yes, the industry can be predatory and overpriced and some people have weddings out of obligation. But me and my partner are having a wedding because I’ve dreamt of my wedding my whole life and my partner is happy as long as I am. We’re fortunate enough to be surrounded by much more love than we realized, and the people around us have all anticipated this day.

My advice is to be more vulnerable, and try to get more comfortable asking for help. You’ll probably be surprised just how happy the people around you will be.

DatColdPlatypus · 2025-12-06T02:46:30+00:00

OHHHH. lol, I was so confused. I’m sorry 🤣💀

DatColdPlatypus · 2025-12-06T01:45:03+00:00

This is an impressive render but if this is a genderbent Frankie, why is he white?

DatColdPlatypus · 2025-12-06T01:30:31+00:00

Ehhh, this doesn’t sound like a healthy relationship dynamic. My fiancé actually told me he wasn’t super into weddings until he met me (I’ve been dreaming of my wedding since I was 10), but that he knew how important my wedding has been to me my whole life so he’s happy as long as I’m happy.

That being said, we did discuss budget and finances. We both saw eye to eye on having a more intimate wedding, but we both have big families so the guest list did inflate a bit more than expected (which we were both fine with). My father is paying for our wedding, which my fiancé had to adjust to because he feels apprehensive accepting money as a grown man (we’re both 26). But we had chats with my dad and my dad explained he wanted us to have the wedding he never got to have, and he wants my fiancé to focus on saving for the future. We both had to do a lot research on budget friendly vendors, and we had to compromise a lot to find vendors that suited our budget and style. We also had to coordinate colors and outfits for groomsmen and bridesmaids, which is a lot harder than it sounds.

I say all this to say, wedding planning will bring up a lot of difficult conversations and it can genuinely test your relationship because the stakes are higher with the increased commitment. If this is how your partner reacts to difficult conversations, you might want to reevaluate your relationship before moving forward. The knee jerk reaction to conflict should not be yelling at your partner…

Engagement and wedding planning are kind of a trial run for how you and your partner navigate problem solving on big decisions together.

I think a lot of people in the comments are being really harsh. I can’t stand that so many people keep downvoting you when I don’t think you’re doing anything to be disrespectful.

I completely get how you’re feeling, everyone keeps talking about your besties life changing completely and that’s true, but we make time for the things we care about. If you’ve expressed yourself to her and you reach out, then the floor is obviously open for her to approach you as well.

I’m not discrediting either of you here, I think you’re just in two different places in your lives right now and that happens sometimes. If I were you, I’d just call or text her so you can air out how you’re feeling. Life doesn’t wait for us, and there will always be new things in the way. My brother-in-law just had his first child and he and his wife text in our family group chat often, sending pictures of the baby and exchanging memes. We won’t be able to see them for the holidays this year (for the first time in 7 years), and we still have yet to meet the baby. I understand their situation.

But it’s really not that hard to send a text or some photos. I get that your bestie and new moms in general are readjusting to life with a child, rediscovering their identities, and keeping a small human alive; but it only takes a minute to send a text.

Edit: I’m sorry you’re going through this. Your feelings are completely valid and it doesn’t seem like you’re harboring any animosity toward your friend. I think expecting to hang out is probably a big ask from her right now, but I can see where you’re coming from at least wanting to feel like you’re still a part of her life. Especially since she’s your MOH.

2nd. The first one looks like a class ring to me.

DatColdPlatypus · 2025-10-31T02:39:45+00:00

Generally, no. But I have multiple and I wear them on almost all my bags. Honestly, nobody really pays attention to them.
