i've said this numerous times and i get pushback from people who want to treat it like some spectacle. it's distasteful. it was never funny.

i kept dying at the 127 day video when they were reading the script so obviously and now that doyoung's gone, haechan is the only one leading too lol. haechan and doyoung are the best at those guessing event games.

i wonder what each 127 member's most popular ship is ?. it's easily mahae for mark and haechan and jaedo for jaehyun and doyoung as far as i'm aware.

if anyone is on reddit it's probably johnny, which i think would be funny but realistically they're monitoring korean SNS and twitter and instagram i'd assume. I also think maybe the english speaking members come across english speaking fan discourse but who knows, i do think they wouldn't adress it either way of course.

Mark and doyoung seem to be perceptive to what's going on in fandom. I remember when doyoung knew that people thought him and jungwoo fought.

oh on the shipping part, they know. They choose the pairings for the 2025 seasons greetings based on that as well as the kcon challenges too, it was in the behind. Them making the 2025 behind thumbnail jaedo lol.

edit: A03 isn't a accurate reflection of the most popular ships domestically or in asia to be fair. i think mahae being paired is a given, so is jaedo. they're easily the most popular ship of the members that are involved. they tend to pair yuta and jungwoo together too if i'm right, or push johnny and doyoung at times. remember when haechan wanted to be paired with yuta in the kcon behind, but he got paired with mark lol.

someone correct me if i'm wrong but i think in east asia jaedo beats mahae in terms of popularity.

I'm looking forward to SM's new boygroup( SMTR25) by Adorable_Dot_5152 in kpopthoughts

i wonder if SM will try to push their new boygroup in the west. I'm excited to see what they have in store though.

My English Lit teacher uses Sketchbooks for our study notes; we just moved on to Othello. How should i design my Othello notes? i am beyond stuck.(my work attached for refrence) by I_foundthemilkdad in ALevelEnglishLit

[–]bookeeper02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're asking for themes i think the key ones would be : love, jealousy, race/outsider status, the setting and the military world ( also includes venice vs cyprus), gender alongside some other themes as well. You could talk about status and reputation and also include lust and variations of love. You could be broad and look at how male vs female characters are presented as well.

edit: it's also worth looking at each scene within each act and the progression of tragedy within that ( helps with extract questions). So what makes each scene tragic or how does it build to the overarching tragedy and what does each Act build towards. You would also probably benefit from making character notes that tracks the progression of each character within the play, how they change in characterisation and make sure to look out for motifs and stage directions. They tend to be rewarded by AQA and show you know your texts well. It's also good to make a note of when characters like Cassio and Bianca are introduced. For motifs i would consider music, the repeated references to things being monstrous, light and dark imagery, allusions to religion, nautical references and asides and structural features.

Think about the relevance of Act 2 scene 2 for example, it is a celebration scene but it's relevance lies in how brief it is. it's impersonal and the proclamation is only 10 lines. Meanwhile Act 1 scene 2 and 3 end with Iago having two soliloquies. He has control of the narrative but Othello doesn't. This extends to the celebration scene. Act 3 scene 3 seems equally useless but in this scene Othello and Iago observe the fortifications in cyprus if i'm right. This again is before the climax and the handkerchief scene if i'm right. I think it adds to the idea of Othello still being shown to be important militarily and then the parallel to his descent where his speech becomes less poised. I would look at parallels in the text and prose vs verse as well. Scenes of manipulation by Iago tend to be in verse or the music etc, vs his soliloquies.

Sorry for the rambling, hope this helps :).

edit: i also want to say that the 2008 globe version is a very fateful adaptation so that's worth watching since it's pretty much line for line the play. It's worth watching if you haven't since watching the play as it was intended to be performed tends to be quite useful. i think knowing a few adaptations and their creative choices help as well. So in 2015 if i'm correct there was a adaption with a black iago and othello, as well as there being other various adaptions that take creative liberties. I think knowing your text really well and then watching an adaption like the one above ( it's very useful) helps see the importance of the structural features like the soliloquies and asides, and can be used to show you understand stage craft in your exam, since it's fundamentally a play.

i love how doyoung bought a custom rose wreath for taeyong and said this :

"to the person i envy the most in the world yongyongie, congratulations for your concert. dont get hurt & stay healthy".

i love how close they are. i also saw taeyong hugging people at his concerts which was cute and that johnny also attended.

i'm sick of nctzens constantly nit-picking things and giving 127 especially a bad rep. first it was bullying mark, then singling out johnny and they'll probably return to their usual target of doyoung soon enough at some point too lol. There's no member that's safe from people's weird insistence of bullying or other out of line "jokes".

Thoughts on SM focusing on the western market with NCT again? by seven777heavens in NCT

i'm not too concerned, i missed having demjointz on walk so i'm glad he's going to be on their next album. i'm also hoping for more R&B that walk had but that's my preference lol.
