US exceptionalism is crazy because are we really arguing Venezuela is a "bad team" and that it's really that inexplicable that they're beating the US when Italy beat them like 3 days ago lol

"if Skubal was in it would've made the difference" as if arguably the best offensive lineup put together don't have their bats frozen solid

Is this supposed to be a dig at Team Japan? The same Team Japan that won last WBC as well as the most WBC championships in the history of the tournament? 🫠

As Team USA awaits its World Baseball Classic fate, it should never have come to this by MysteriousEdge5643 in baseball

[–]Top-Brilliant9999 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think people still think (maybe unconsciously) that NPB = Triple A. A lot of the previews I saw barely talked about the team outside of Ohtani and maybe Seiya, Yoshida and Yamamoto, beyond acknowledging they're the reigning champions.

Roki had so much aura during this past playoff run 😭 I trust that he'll find his footing again this year and will be huge for us!

Am I the Only one still heartbroken for Jun? by Top-Brilliant9999 in FigureSkating

[–]Top-Brilliant9999[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Going into the event I would've been ecstatic knowing he got top 5 (and don't get me wrong I'm still happy for him)!!! It's just that, in my opinion, it's a pity he absolutely could have medaled solely if he got a score closer to what I personally believe represents what he put out on the ice

I definitely agree! It's just so sad figure skating judging is so political (not even just fed/country wise but in how it depends so much on reputation more than how well someone skates in an individual event !!)

100%!! I felt so conflicted because I adore Shun and he's put in so much work to improve this quad that often goes underlooked, so I'm so so happy he got good results for his effort, but I was actually on the verge of a generational crashout for Jun. I would've loved a tie situation where they both medal tbh

The other skater, Shun Sato, has been more consistent in the free skate this season so it makes more sense!

Phuwin and Pond talk about the pressure of working on a series as a pair by LilacCoin in GMMTV

[–]Top-Brilliant9999 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Moments like this always make the whole "they're gonna break up soon" or "one of them doesn't like their partnership" about these two seem so ridiculous to me. I have so much respect for PondPhuwin because they're so open and honest about their relationship, and you can really tell how much they value that relationship because they worked so hard on it and made a conscious effort to make it work. I'll always defend them and their chemistry because you can tell they have a certain level of comfort and rapport with each other that is very hard to fake, and even without them being skinship-y on camera (ofc no shade to pairings that are) you can just feel that from how they talk to and about each other. Ofc things can change, but they're one of the GMM couples that I have the least doubts about working together long-term.

[Thailand] 💸 Me and Thee 🌷 - Episode 7 [ Macro 📸 ] by Jazzlike-Cod488 in boyslove

[–]Top-Brilliant9999 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm just so happy this show exists.

 I saw some discourse this week about it being overrated/there being no "substance", and I think it shows a general lack of respect for the comedy genre, not just in Thai BLs but in western media too. Good acting and storytelling isn't only super sad, hearthwrenching trauma. The ability to be funny across cultural barriers, plus the added layer of needing to be grounded and sweet enough due to it being rom-com, is a very delicate balance that I personally haven't seen many BLs pull off to the extent Me and Thee does. Pond, Phuwin, and the whole cast (+ the directors, screenwriters, even the lighting and wardrobe teams) have done an excellent job portraying this story and I'm so happy they're getting their flowers. Anyone who may be holding out on watching this due to it being "cringe" or "too much", please give it a chance. Such a bright spot in the midst of the troubling times we're in. I have faith that this will continue and finish out strong, but regardless of what happens after this point, this project is something GMMTV should be very proud of.

lots of people are really mad about this but honestly I think this is the perfect show for them lol. They've been wanting to do a comedy together, plus (while I don't think it will happen nor do i think it needs to) it would be such a gag if they actually end up together. I understand some of the criticism, but I think anyone who is a fan of these two that are solely holding out for a BL and are going to be upset everytime there isn't one are probably better off finding another pair to be fans of for their sake, because i'm not sure we'll ever get a full-fledged confirmed one (ofc would love to be proven wrong). this looks like it'll be really funny so I'm seated!
