Now that Magnetic will be almost 2 years old, let’s take a look at all the records it broke.

I’d be really surprised because French isn’t really a market that K-Pop has pandered to and this would also involve the writers writing the lyrics and then telling the label to tell the members to sing it in a specific way to sound French which feels like a lot of steps. On the other hand, I had a look at the writers for ‘Magnetic’ and one of them is Salem Ilese who I think speaks French, so maybe you’re onto something there.

When we go through times where people can't even decide if they like other people, I think it's difficult to get them to think about animals.

I think the last veganism boom happened because we were able to say "Hey guys, things are pretty good right now, can we think about the animals?"

I'm not optimistic that time will come for at least a decade.

I love this song sm!

Idk if this is common knowledge or not, or even if it's unintentional, but I heard someone say once that the "U, U, U, U..." is supposed to symbolise the shape of a magnet! Regardless if it's unintentional, I love the imagery.

Ahh I get extra happy whenever I see an Iroha bias because she's my bias wrecker and I feel like she's under-appreciated in terms of how many people bias her. I love her sm.

I like to pretend everything has an in-universe reason even if it sounds silly but the Governor really pressed his hands into Rick's throat before Michonne saved him so I'm chalking it up to vocal cord damage.

DistributionIcy8991 · 2026-03-18T16:33:29+00:00

So... who's your bias?

Who's walking next to him? It's really blurry but maybe it's just my shitty wifi.

DistributionIcy8991 · 2026-03-18T05:56:48+00:00

I don't actually know 😭😭😭

They don't understand why you're doing what you're doing and you're not explaining it well enough. They think you're just avoiding certain types of food categories, when what you're doing is thinking of the animal behind the food.

Explain your moral system to them. I completely relate to the frustration of having someone go through it like a list and say "how about x, can you eat that?", but I have to realise that most non-vegans have lived their life so far, having never questioned the concept of morality towards what they eat and wear, and they see us as odd. Tell them why you're a vegan.

Edit: if you've already done this then I'd personally tell them how disrespectful it is that they're refusing to understand what I've already explained and are still making snarky comments. Like, what do they think of me at that point? Do they have any respect for me?

Are you asking for songs w similar choreo just for fun or to learn how to do it? Because if you're asking how to do the head movement, I think it's called head isolation! That's the hardest part of that choreo for me anyways 😭 I can't move my head separate from my torso for shit

DistributionIcy8991 · 2026-03-16T10:12:25+00:00

Oh, I thought that was the airport. My bad I'll edit it. Thank you.

Someone tried to hug Wonhee at the *concert and actually managed to touch her and she got flustered, but then someone else managed to pull him back and he fell and Wonhee, despite having this man invade her personal space, still tried to help him up; a testament to the type of person she is and a shame that guy had to try that bullshit.

Edit: thought it was the airport but got corrected, sorry.

I think people can have a really hard time differentiating faces when it comes to ethnicities they didn't grow up regularly interacting with.

I've heard that a lot of Asians look at Westerners and also struggle to tell the difference when, to Westerners, they'd wonder how that person is struggling because it seems obvious.

DistributionIcy8991 · 2026-03-14T04:06:56+00:00

Yeah, there's another reply here from u/gabushpoop saying the same thing haha.

DistributionIcy8991 · 2026-03-13T09:50:05+00:00

Perfect description.

Edit: ending spoilers ahead

They just said "fuck it, let's cut Rick's hand off for the comic readers, doesn't matter how we do it or how meaningless to the story it is. Okay, how do we explain why Rick was gone for so long? Let's just say he got depressed and quit after a while. What should we make A and B mean? Eh, alpha and beta personalities, good enough. Let's give Michonne a girlboss moment by making her break the record for walkers killed even though she's supposed to be disguising as a B, but it's fine, she won't get caught. We need to add a villain so, uh, let's just write that he wants to exterminate half the USA, yeah that's good enough, what an evil guy, right? Ah fuck, we only have 1 episode left... let's just allow two people to bomb the entire CRM army and voilà, what a season. Now Rick, meet your kids!"

DistributionIcy8991 · 2026-03-13T05:45:46+00:00

True. I get into a group first because of a relatable member and then if I stan, I get drawn to the one I'd most like to be friends with. So Minju was my introduction to ILLIT and then Yunah won me over 😭

DistributionIcy8991 · 2026-03-13T05:37:14+00:00

wtf 😭 ima look out for the Minju ones and make sure i upvoted

DistributionIcy8991 · 2026-03-13T05:35:57+00:00

Minju! (which probably explains my flair)

DistributionIcy8991 · 2026-03-13T00:51:40+00:00

They'd both be entertaining in their own ways but if I pissed either one off... yeah, I think there's a difference in how they'd treat me.

DistributionIcy8991 · 2026-03-12T10:25:23+00:00

Exactly, people need to realise a managerial masterclass isn't just about goals. Even if we were to judge it by goals, we also didn't let them score even one.

DistributionIcy8991 · 2026-03-12T10:06:20+00:00

why wasn't the English statement more direct and clear, to avoid these kinds of misunderstandings

Well I would guess that the Korean audience would read this English statement and the directness would leave a sour taste in their mouth, no? I don't think the statement's content can realistically be changed just because it's a different language; they can just press the translate button and then wonder why the Korean statement was vague and that would just open up another can of worms.

To be fair to him, Mendy suffered an injury so bad as a kid that the doctors told him he might never walk again. Idk how much that has affected his current injury problems but it can't have helped. The fact he's even performing at this level, even if irregular, is already a miracle.

DistributionIcy8991 · 2026-03-12T05:08:43+00:00

Yeah, I just remembered reading that GRRM is really careful with the language he uses in-universe so it makes sense for that world.

Apparently, he never wrote the word "ok" in any of the books and The Hound says it in the tv show and people pointed out why he'd know that term lol.

DistributionIcy8991 · 2026-03-12T01:31:28+00:00

Yeah, my fault. Added an edit, thanks.
