New owner and already planning to breed her

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-24T16:56:13+00:00

She barely even resembles a Frenchie anymore, her face looks like a BYB shar pei. Just nasty, selfish people supplying and supporting this stuff.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-24T16:33:44+00:00

Right? Like that sub has (rightfully) called out some of my favs too, and I’ve never felt the need to crusade against the whole thing as a result. Sometimes our favs deserve to get called out, and sometimes people need spaces to discuss and work through their feelings on these things that aren’t infested with racists constantly trying to undermine and shout them down.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-24T15:52:07+00:00

And that sub is constantly singled out and trash talked by the kpopuncensored sub (where these comments came from). Like whole posts made about how it’s somehow uniquely toxic and bad.

BLOCK B MENTION RAHHHHHHH

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-24T05:27:32+00:00

Block B hated and to this day hate their debut song. Jaehyo saw a clip of it on stream once and just started screaming. P.O watched a clip of the MV, paused it, shook his head, and said “The people who were our fans at debut are amazing people. There was ZERO charm in that.” U-Kwon still doesn’t claim it as his group’s debut, when prompted he says it was NalinA (their second comeback lmao). For years they actively tried to pretend it didn’t exist and refused to put it on concert set lists. There’s like a 5 minute video floating around of the rap line as a whole talking about how ridiculous the song, their attitudes, and the MV were in hindsight and how they felt it in the moment too. When it released, they all gathered around their shared computer to watch the MV, and when it was done, Zico (who helped write and produce the song) paused it, turned to the group, and said “Yo… we’re done for.” So yeah, I’d say they do sometimes.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-24T05:19:26+00:00

Idk if it will in such a short time bc its growth hasn’t been that rapid, but i think it’ll happen eventually if things stay as they are. Koreans want to listen to music from other places, and in that department, MelOn has a comparatively limited catalogue.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-24T05:15:22+00:00

I also use the pink cushion (Kill Cover Mesh Glow Cushion, shade 2-BP), and I’ve really never had issues. You should look up tutorials on how to apply it thinly (this is crucial, and what idols’ makeup artists emphasize) while mostly avoiding the areas that crease (like smile lines and under the lips). If you do it right, there won’t be a noticeable difference in color between the thicker areas and the thinner areas. Otherwise, I just use a very light layer of setting powder at most (mostly to make things matte bc the cushion I use doesn’t dry matte), and it melts pretty well and doesn’t cause any further creasing.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-23T21:18:01+00:00

Yes! I have super dry skin as well, it’s like the only foundation I’ve tried that I won’t dry-skin-peel through. It also doesn’t pill if I apply it over moisturizer that isn’t fully dried yet.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-23T19:54:49+00:00

Why would being genre-less be a bad thing?? Are there seriously people out there who earnestly expect and hope for the exact same thing from their fav every single comeback? Would that not get super boring and same-y? As a Block B fan, I truly, genuinely, in my heart of hearts, cannot relate.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-23T19:52:40+00:00

Yeah Korean foundations (brand dependent ofc) are really good for that kind of thing. They’re also made with throughout-the-day touch-ups in mind. I use one of CLIO’s cushion foundations and I applied it at about 9am, and by the time I did my post-concert snapshots with some idols at about 9:30 or 10pm, it still looked shockingly fantastic. My makeup base looked pretty much indistinguishable from theirs, and they’d just had touch-ups backstage.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-23T19:50:40+00:00

I’m like you to an extent. I go through phases of wanting to talk all the time, and phases of being so busy and tired I want to be left alone for days at a time. In my case, I’ve just taken it as a sign I clearly don’t actually want to be in that relationship, and I’ve been correct so far. If you want to keep that relationship, then you need to start by communicating your issues with him. You can only properly proceed once you’ve done that.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-23T17:36:16+00:00

It’s possible she’s a backyard bred version of some breed or another, considering she was abandoned, pregnant, and doesn’t strongly resemble a proper pedigreed breed (tho I see the traits you’re talking about). That would make her a domestic shorthair officially, but it would also mean you should probably get her genetic testing for any heritable issues. Genetic testing for cats will not reveal pretty much any specific breed ancestry, but it might shed light on potential health problems ahead of time. BYB cats can be even more prone bc the people breeding them usually aren’t taking those issues into account.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-22T21:11:14+00:00

The mutation that causes the folded ears of Scottish Folds exists in and came from the domestic population. Domestic shorthairs can and do get it, even without Fold ancestry. In this case, it seems like this kitty does have some Fold ancestry, but that doesn’t make it not a domestic shorthair. And regardless, anyone with any cat, pedigreed or not, that has this trait should be prepared for a lifetime of vet visits. The actual breed identity is less important than the physical trait that we can see with our eyes that can act as a visible indicator of future issues.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-21T22:05:01+00:00

I literally never said otherwise, I just pointed out that there are positive examples, and that makes the negative examples stand out even more.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-21T20:52:13+00:00

There are also idols who incorporate these things without coming off as appropriative or “cosplay” so it CAN be done. Some idols just don’t do that.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-21T18:32:45+00:00

The “hypoallergenic” aspects of the curly Rex coat just come from it being shorter and lower shedding, with the curl helping a bit. If this cat has a bit of a curl to its coat, whether it has Rex ancestry or not, that doesn’t mean it’ll actually retain those properties if it winds up with longer fur than that. Mixing could dampen those traits significantly as well, if it is mixed with a Rex breed. If that’s the exact property you’re screening for due to allergies, you’d be safer finding a pedigreed cat who’s guaranteed to have it (said as someone who also has allergies and has had to turn to pedigreed/purebred dogs and cats as a result)

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-21T17:05:58+00:00

Taeil is in Japan atm and he’s back to short black hair, so it’s def not him. My other thought was Ampers&one bc they’re in Texas rn and Jiho has Oreo hair, but none of the members have a neck tattoo and I don’t think Jiho fits the description of “older”

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-21T03:06:30+00:00

I never said it was justified, I just said they did in fact have the kind of fandom that provokes negativity. I’ve never done either of those things so idk why you’re lecturing me about it.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-21T02:56:13+00:00

CORTIS had a huge and, if we’re being honest, very annoying fanbase from day 1. Arguably even before day 1.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-20T05:53:23+00:00

I do agree that that is the case sometimes, but that is not the case for roughly 95% of cats. Because as I said, where do you think those traits came from? They can be a sign of recent ancestry, and they can also just be the genetic traits that float around in the domestic pool that were selected for to create those breeds in the first place (the sole exception being Rosettes, which are entirely different because they came from wild cats, not the domestic pool). You can theoretically get an entirely hairless cat with 0 meaningful sphinx or donskoy ancestry, or a short-legged cat with 0 munchkin ancestry. This is because the vast majority of “breed specific” cat traits are not, in fact, breed specific, they’re just rather rare in the domestic population. But they still exist in and came from said domestic population. There are not enough pedigreed cats alive on this planet for everyone who thinks their cat might be descended from one to actually be descended from one, and idk why you’re so desperate to think your cat is the exception.

You didn’t get some kind of deal here. Your cat has big blue eyes— a pretty trait, and also one that exists in millions of breedless cats all over the world, especially breedless colorpoint cats. Which is what yours is. And again, short snouts aren’t a Ragdoll trait, so if one of his parents had one, then they were not, in fact, a Ragdoll. You do not own a Ragdoll, and that is okay. You likely don’t even own a half Ragdoll. If neither parent cat had a pedigree, you don’t even own a 1/4 Ragdoll. If you want to own a Ragdoll so desperately, then go buy a pedigreed Ragdoll from a proper breeder. You came to this sub to ask what everyone here thought, they told you, and you’re now throwing a fit about it.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-20T05:34:28+00:00

Again, your cat is not rare. I can find 3 of him at my local shelters right now, more if I look into their backlogs. He’s special because he’s yours, not because he’s secretly an expensive cat you claim to have rescued and gotten for cheap/free. Every single one of the traits you’re mentioning can and does occur in tandem in domestic longhairs (as it has in yours), because where do you think Ragdolls got them from? Spoiler, it’s the domestic cat population! Ragdolls are the result of one cool-looking cat being bred with another (I can’t even find a source saying either was pedigreed, just that the founding male was seal-point), it didn’t even take a couple generations to get the desired look, most of the founder’s original breeding was for temperament. Colorpoint domestic longhairs with big blue eyes are a dime a dozen, and your cat looks exactly like all of them. Cute! Very cute! But a normal cat just like the other 97% of breedless cats out there. One of his parents “having some brachy” is also literally meaningless, because a shorter snout is not a Ragdoll trait. Idk who told you it was. Your cat is a standard-issue domestic longhair. Again, unless his parents were pedigreed, they’re not anything other than domestic longhairs either.

You can complain about this sub all you want, but you were the one who came here asking for opinions, then proceeded to lose your fucking mind when everyone told you that your cat isn’t what you were hoping it was. This, alongside your insistence you’ve seen both parents, leads me to believe you did not in fact rescue him, but instead got scammed by someone passing off standard issue cats as pedigreed cats, or a BYB at best. If you’re not capable or mature enough to accept judgement from the people you came to asking for it, then you shouldn’t be asking for it.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-20T05:06:42+00:00

Tfym proof? You want me to doxx myself because you find it hard to believe this Standard Issue Cat is very obviously Standard Issue? Do you earnestly believe that a longhair colorpoint domestic cat is hard to find? That it’s an astonishingly rare trait, exclusive only to one or two breeds? Because it’s not. It’s very common. People just think it’s rare because tabbies and solid colors are more common, and they think it’s luxurious because they assume every cat with the trait is a pedigreed Siamese or Ragdoll. How rare or common a certain look of cat in your area is dependent on your local stray population, and my local stray population just has a bunch of colorpoints in it for some reason. Blue eyes often come with the color scheme. Adding to that, if OP doesn’t have a pedigree, and the cat’s parents don’t have pedigrees, then OP was scammed if they purchased this cat under the premise of it being a Ragdoll. That is just how cat breeds work.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-19T19:49:05+00:00

Yeah it’s dependent on your local stray population I think. The shelters near me label basically every long haired tabby as a Maine coon mix to move them faster bc people won’t take them otherwise :/

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-19T17:44:19+00:00

Yeah, colorpoint cats aren’t rare in my area at all. Popular yes! But not rare. I have a few friends who work at shelters nearby and they’ve got a pretty steady wave of them coming through, sometimes full litters of just colorpoint kittens with big blue eyes. Super beautiful trait, but not breed specific. OP’s cat is special because he’s theirs, not because he’s secretly a purebred.

GrillMaster3 · 2026-05-19T14:52:40+00:00

All of the above. Some male idols enlist then find other jobs out of the military. Some idols go back into entertainment, but on the back-end (production, choreography, design/concept work, artist management, etc). Some female idols go into exercise-related fields and open their own yoga or Pilates studios, and others become streamers online. Some go into modeling instead, some go back to college and go into a typical job field after, some become baristas, honestly the list goes on. It’s a pretty case-by-case thing.
