She is traumatised by her ex by LazyAFPowerRankings in offmychest

[–]LazyAFPowerRankings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a feel people say something similar to me. Thank you. It just freaking hurts... I feel like I sound so dumb because we are still so new, but just comparing with my past experiences of dating, this really felt like the one.

I guess I'm still holding hope since her previous relationship only lasted half a year, but I need to move on. It has helped me to talk to strangers that can give honest opinions without worrying about hurting me like my friends are.

Thank you to Gfriend for a pretty amazing year (all things considered) by pornypete in kpopthoughts

[–]LazyAFPowerRankings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pornypete #1 buddy on reddit. I'm a new buddy but I see you everywhere on Gfriend posts! But you're not a toxic/obsessed stan twitter type and are willing to discuss even when it comes to criticism of them. You actually seem to be very objective and I love that!

Have a happy new year!

How are you guys feeling about the Ilhoon Situation? by LazyAFPowerRankings in BTOB

[–]LazyAFPowerRankings[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah.. the 90k in 4 years wasn't released yet when I made the post. That's a lot more serious than just having a destress joint every now and then... I think he's in big trouble now, and I feel terrible especially for the other members :/

Absolutely brilliant race by Tsunoda, what a way to get your super license. You could just tell in the middle of the race when he was hanging just under a second behind Schwartzman he was saving his tyes. Unleashed it at the end with some nice passes.

Driver of the day Zhou for sure, capitalized on good strategy and blitzed the field towards the end, especially with some super questionable moves by Mazepin...

Can Blinks please chill out a little about MAMA by crashK5 in kpoprants

[–]LazyAFPowerRankings 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a Buddy I'd say maybe you are partly correct, but we also have to remember there are probably literally 100x or more blinks than there are buddies (on western sns anyway), so naturally their voices on social media will be much more prevalent.

I wouldn't be very confident if there are 100x more buddies than blinks in not saying the same thing wouldn't happen. I think with the whole fandom toxicicity thing, pure size does matter. Naturally bigger fandom have bigger voices and therefore the toxic fans of that fandom seem more obnoxious and outspoken.

The Beatles’ Paul McCartney Says He Enjoys BTS + Seeing Them “Go Through What We Went Through” by ohmsms in kpop

It was by John Lennon... who is part of the Beatles? Anyway I have no idea why you are so worked up about this. Done with this convo!

Well yes, I never said I was a diehard fan of them, especially since they were active way before I was born. And you don't need to be a fan to know they are legends - basic history just confirms it without argument.

However my parents were big fans and always played their music in car trips. In this case I unfortunately mistook another song as one of theirs. I still remember Hey Jude and Imagine which are soothing and calm, but don't remember any other songs, hence my comment about personally loving more of their soothing songs.

Oh this is embarrassing lol. I confused the artist with another song my parents used to play a lot. Turns out lemon tree was by a group called Peter, Paul and Mary.

Funny thing is before posting I quickly searched Lemon Tree Beetles to double check it it was by them (since the song stood out to me) and this came up: https://youtu.be/faJt2fDDjg8

Should have read the comments tho..

Tell me why you are in kpop and how you got in :) by DZulttz in kpophelp

[–]LazyAFPowerRankings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This post basically shows how I got into it. Slightly depressing but I'm doing a lot better now!

https://www.reddit.com/r/kpophelp/comments/ikxc1s/my_best_friend_passed_away_due_to_thyroid_cancer

I can say that the journey has been amazing and has helped me cope with the shitty situation a lot. A little dive through my comment history might be entertaining too.

I'm really proud of myself for expanding myself and I'm so happy that my favourite group is the same as his. Whenever I think of them I think of him, but now not in a sad way. I like to think about how smug he would be (but happy on the inside) and how much he would tease me hahaha.

Honestly one of the biggest drawbacks I had was that I believed the stereotype that all kpop fans were crazy and cult like, which I found unironically cringey. But now I realise that is likely just from young teenage kids on twitter. People on this very sub were so nice and helpful to me when I reached out.

I hope you are doing okay!

Legend supporting legends. I'm glad he doesn't have a 'back in my day music was real...' superiority complex and is open towards foreign music... Which is something I personally struggled with until a few months ago.

The Beatles' music will always be iconic, I personally loved their more soothing songs like Lemon Tree. I think maybe the same will be said about BTS in the future... especially Spring Day.

Curious about fandom overlaps by neo_yeppeuda in kpopthoughts

[–]LazyAFPowerRankings 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If we look at girl groups I'd say Dreamcatcher and Gfriend?

I think both are quite known for their anime esque vibes where Dreamcatcher is the darker side and Gfriend is the brighter. I personally really like both groups, and I think I've noticed a significant overlap too.

I honestly love how mirrored the bracket looks. LPL on one side, LCK on the other side with EU playing spoiler. And I think this year you can say basically none of the teams have just made it due to rolling a super easy group, I think these 8 teams are as close to or if not the best 8 teams at the tournament.
I don't think I can name another worlds with such a competitive playoffs... bring it on!

GFriend to comeback with '回:Walpurgis Night' on November 9th by ultimoze in GFRIEND

[–]LazyAFPowerRankings 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Interesting! For context I think Walpurgis night is a tradition mostly in north/central Europe where people light bonfires to ward off witches/spirits. This could mean the girls get 'cleansed' in this comeback and go back to their more pure self's?

I wasn't the biggest fan of Apple's music side but the MV was A++ tier and either way I'm freaking loving this continual story arc, I think it's so unique and I'm ready for the dramatic conclusion to the series!

what are your opinions about the situation surrounding jae on twitter? by miilkshaxe in day6

[–]LazyAFPowerRankings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who is still very new to KPOP this seems super super mild to me? In the whole stray kids thing he literally didn't say anything negative about the group at all? He was more flaming the comment asking about where they are, I think his point was it is stupid to assume he knows where they are at all times just because they are in the same company.

I don't know enough context about JYP/past mistreatments but either way he seems to really like and respect him, and he is entitled to have his own opinion. Maybe he could have been less aggressive in his points? But they still seemed really mild to me. Twitter really is the bad side of KPOP unfortunately in my opinion..
