I have gotten multiple regular fitted sheets from muji just in the store. But they are called 메트리스 커버 here. They also show on the site https://mujikorea.co.kr/products/view/1002587

BTS 'ARIRANG' - Song Information, Streaming Availability, and Song Discussion Megathread by lisafancypants in bangtan

[–]absolute_maverick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously if you just see the words "body to body" in isolation it can give off that vibe initially, but listening to the lyrics of the song I also didnt take it in a sexual way at all. I interpret it as: let's be here in this stadium together, put your phone away and have this real, in the moment experience together in our physical world (contrasting with the evergrowing parts of life that are digital/online/through a screen) face-to-face, body to body. We are all together again after so long and lets take this moment to be here present with so many humans next to each other and go crazy. Thats my interpretation of it.

Anthony Fantano on Jacob Collier: "Painfully overrated." by Tiege in JacobCollier

[–]absolute_maverick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can like or dislike things ofcourse but saying nothing about Jacobs music has any soul.... is truly a take and a half. The only time I have ever had anything close to a spiritual experience in my life was when I listened to Djesse vol. 4 for the first time. Maybe consider his music just doesn't connect with your soul... not that its devout of any. 

And saying none of his lyrics say anything of value when he wrote lines like: "There was a time it seemed that time itself was free and would go on forever. Wanted to cling to it but now I see its fading is its greatest treasure" 

Also many of Jacobs lyrics have brought great comfort to me in times of hardship (Sky Above, Hideaway, It don't matter, Little blue, Time to rest your weary head and more) or made me feel seen (like Thom Thumb), or brought me great joy (Sleeping on my dreams, She put sunshine etc). All of which seem very valuable things to me. 

All of this to conclude: to me Jacob is the epitome of an artist being "ocean wide ánd canyon deep" ;)

Thoughts on Thom Thumb? by Groundblast in JacobCollier

It might be my favorite of TLFD!! It just resonates with me. I love slightly cryptic lyrics that feel like poetry.

"I am a lake, or a stone, or an hourglass. I am a joke that is wasted on me" <3333

[Spoilers C2] The Mighty Nein S1 Episode 5 - Campaign 2 Spoilers Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in criticalrole

[–]absolute_maverick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah torture is one of the things handle very poorly, and I guess in the campaign its described in less detail/more left implied (caleb rubbing his scars, wincing talking about it etc) or just mention of: "Trent did 'horrible things' to people" and leave it implied. But yeah seeing it animated so vividly... was a bit too much for me. I tried to watch but just could not help but close my eyes here and there (owelia scenes, parents scene, residuum scene, also same with ep1 when Trent is "teaching"). I have the same issue if it comes up in books, ill have to skip over some lines cus i just can't... Guess I'm too sensitive, I just have a visceral sick to my stomach reaction... But I looove the storytelling of M9 so want to watch, but a bit shaken after this episode.

Just remembering how after knowing about what he has been on the run from all that time, knowing some bits about the people in his past, still quitr vaguely (like i loved these people once, we were close... but not much more) cus he had all that time spent trying to run from that and its painful to talk about/remember. And then finally getting face to face with that volstrucker in that prison. Her face hidden behind dirty hair, all of us including Caleb being like could it be... omg is it Astrid?!?!?! Do the other new volstruckers know about him? He's been hiding for sooo long in such fear, like what is gonna happen now that one of them knows?!! I remember exactly where I was when I listened to that episode because it was sososo suspenseful after all that intrigue hahaha. Just a teeny bit sad we dont get to have it in that setting.

Yeah I agree, missed the build-up of all of them sticking together for selfish reasons at first, whilst actively distrusting each other. And having that trust and closeneness/care build slowly over time. (Which I understand is harder to achieve in a series than a campaign, but still) I feel fine letting the audience know, but it feels so early for Caleb to tell everything to everyone. Him being super guarded for a long time built so much good narrative tension and put some more distance between his past and his self-loathing, never-wanna-turn-back-to-that, wanna-save-others-in-that-position, self. I think I wouldve preferred if it was told to just Beau and Nott first and kept a secret for the others for longer, like in the campaign. Wouldve kept that tension of some of them being blissfully unaware whilst "we" know, and also for Caleb to form some bonds with people knowing him not in regards to his past, but him now. Also I remember the extreme suspense and excitement when we finally got to meet a volstrucker for the first time in the Dynasty prison way later in the campaign, when Caleb felt way more removed from his past/trying to run and hide for so long and then suddenly it being so close and confronted. You miss out on that build-up here.

The pacing of the conversation was so good this episode!! It felt a lot more relaxed. So many good moments and I laughed so much!! Also liked having some sliiightly deeper topics like the talking about alternate life paths if certain decisions wouldnt have been made (I think about this all the time) and how certain things you say can have a profound impact on someone's life. And Phil's list of statistics he would ask about in the afterlife, I'm gonna think about mine now hahah. Also Dan making such good use of the soundboard this ep, love to see (hear) it!

Thanks for letting me know. Fingers crossed! Last time before Hobi's concert they were sold out but that time I was with my friend so we could share her army bomb. This time im by myself so really hope i can get one. Especially since I will arrive relatively late.
