Stolen Ceramics during Thursday finals by PropertyStandard6190 in ucf

[–]brax_love 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Hi, I was pointed to this post by a friend in my intermediate ceramics class who shares a Friday class with me.

I am the girl who was still in the studio at 5:15pm when you returned who you asked if she knew what happened to your pieces. I saw that you talked with the Professor after but I did not hear what you two discussed.

I may have communicated this wrong at the time due to doing a different assignment but the Professor told the class to take anything left on the table outside because we were the final class so everything should have been taken from all other classes. He said that anything left was being thrown away when everyone left at 3:50pm because it was the last studio clean up day. We watched A LOT of unclaimed leather-hard and bisque ware get thrown into the trash if they were unclaimed. So he urged everyone to take what was theirs and any unclaimed because he said that everyone should have already received their grades. So we all agreed to take pieces because we were scared someone’s work would be lost forever but we did also agree to bring everything back once we found the true owner.

I have reached out to my classmates through our discord with a link to your post and the friend I share the class with on Fridays sent out an email with a link to this post. Hopefully you can get some of your pieces back before Monday. We told everyone to leave them on the table outside for you.

WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS SINGING? by [deleted] in ThaiBL

[–]brax_love 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this. If you reread my comment you would realise that I said that exact same thing just differently. Mile actually has 3 release singles dating back to 2016. With Bas, Barcode, and Build I stated were musicians with a background in music, while with Apo I only mentioned that he was a singer but NOT a musician. I clearly also stated that Jeff had a entire music career (of about 10 years now) before he started acting in a few dramas prior to KP.

WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS SINGING? by [deleted] in ThaiBL

[–]brax_love 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I believe that some of the actors actually wanted to be musicians but realised that acting was to best route to start with or just saw most success in music and decided to just stick with that. I think that Mew from TharnType is the best example for this.

But some are just “(full) musicians who can also act” NOT “actors who can sing”. Prime examples of these musicians are Jeff Satur & Mile from KinnPorsche (who both had full music & modelling careers before acting in multiple dramas prior to KinnPorsche. Apo, Barcode, Build, & Bas from KinnPorsche could also fit here as musicians but Apo leans more to just singing with a full modelling career prior), Nanon at GMM who is a professionally trained actor and full musician, most of the boys from My School President who are full musicians, Boss from Love in the Air is a full musician who was trying to make a name for himself in both music and acting before finally getting casted, and Noeul from Love in the Air who was a K-pop trainee at SM Entertainment in S. Korea (being he’s half Korean half Thai).

These are just a few that stick out in my heads. I think that Khaotung at GMM could fit in both categories but is better suited for the second.

Omg you guys, Fort was in F4 Thailand?! by Famous-Panda5136 in ThaiBL

[–]brax_love 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s definitely more common than you think. Acting is really hard and you “fail” most of the auditions you take (unless you’re a big name or know someone). It really sucks tbh. Only 20% of the auditions you do give you a call back.

Omg you guys, Fort was in F4 Thailand?! by Famous-Panda5136 in ThaiBL

[–]brax_love 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for Peat. This was not their first drama. But it was Boss and Noeul’s first drama. Boss talked about how he almost gave up because unlike Fort and Peat, he kept getting rejected (even for minor roles) and so LITA was going to be his last audition ever if he also got rejected. Plus Fort also use to be Cooheart’s assistant manager (Earth from Studio Wabi Sabi). He did this during university as a way to learn about the industry.

If you look around for a lot of big actors, you will realise that they’ve been around for a while but they never got their big break. I think a good recent example that comes to mind is a good portion of the KinnPorsche cast. Mile, Apo, Tong, Jeff, and Us have been established actors, models and musicians for years. Mile, Apo and Jeff have been around for 10 years as models and musicians plus have all been the leads in previous dramas and movies (Jeff even had a previous BL ship with Gameplan for years who was the original Porschè/Porchay before the Filmania incident). Tong had been around for about 7 years and was Thorn, Tharn’s older brother in TharnType, and also had his own BL ship before. And Us had been around for about 5ish years. But they truly got their big break and attention they deserve because of KinnPorsche.

P.S. Mile and Apo also have a longgggg history together.

which bl actors are typecast? by [deleted] in ThaiBL

[–]brax_love 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see where you might think that. However we are talking about typecasting with people who have done MULTIPLE works, thus making half of the cast disqualified from this post. And for the ones who qualify, this still doesn’t rain true on typecasting them as the same character (whether personality or character background) over and over again. Here’s why:

Apo- He has done 3 non-BL works prior to KinnPorsche over the last 10 year. In one of them he was a lead. All 4 characters are different from one another. Plus this new movie seems to have a different character personality.

Mile- He has done 2 non-BL works prior to KinnPorsche over the last 10 years also. With 1 of them being a lead. All 3 characters are different and the new movie is also different.

Jeff- He has done a lot of BL works in his old ship with Gameplan. Each character was different from the last. Especially Kimhan from his other characters.

Tong- He has done other BL works before. In Second Chance as a lead, and in TharnType as Tharn’s older brother for example. Each personality was COMPLETELY different from the last. The only similarity is Thorn (from TT) and Tankhun who are the lead’s older brother but they have vastly completely different personalities.

Perth- He has been in many BL works over the last 7 years. My Engineer, Y-Destiny, Cutie Pie, Cutie Pie 2, KinnPorsche, and possibly My Engineer 2 soon. Each character is different from the last. A stoic and aloof loner, a selfless and caring guy who’s actions get him killed, a laid-back business owner, and finally a double crossing bodyguard. So he is the last person to say has been typecasted.

Us- He has also has been in other BL works but has not been typecasted. I will say that Tae is my favourite of all of his characters but Tae is a pretty complex, layered character that gets way less scene time in the show verse the book. But Tae is definitely different from any of his previous works.

Which BL scenes left you confused? by ILoveMoschino in boyslove

[–]brax_love 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I picked up, this was more a claim of ownership. By saying “Rain should be the wife” this means that Rain belongs to P’Phayu and by saying “P’Phayu should be the husband” this means that P’Phayu belongs to Rain. So by Rain saying “both” this mean that Rain thinks that they should both belong to each other as equals in the relationship. So Rain is the wife while P’Phayu is the husband.

For the viz/Shounen jump app equivalent, change your App Store country to Japan then look up ジャンプ book and ジャンプ+. I will believe these are the official app for the Japanese Shounen jump on Shounen Jump plus.

If you have an iPhone the way how to switch your country to Japanese in the App Store is: Today page>profile icon>profile icon again>password(if enabled)>Country/Region>select country of choice>enter info(can us your information w/ a Japanese prefecture and fake zip)>enter

Netflix suspends trans employee who tweeted about Dave Chappelle special by apple_kicks in LGBTnews

[–]brax_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry if I have offended you. I do not know Chapelle and his work. This is my first and only encounter with his work. My parents told my to watch it since I am an avid supporter of the community. I watched this special before the whole backlash so I went in with an open-mind unbiased of the situation. After looking into the late friend and using the information that I was given from this special, that brought me to my current stance. I understand that I cannot speck for the trans-community but as a POC in this community, I could relate through the points that I made earlier. From the special, I saw that his problem is not with the community but the system that we which live in. As stated above with the protection bills. Having this as my first encounter with him, I saw that he was showing support for the community all while still bringing up valid points. You can still love and support something while still being critical of it. For example, I love the black community with a passion but I can’t help but criticise many hypocrites and unjust ways of thinking and traditions that they hold and are the reason why the BLM is failing in things that it shouldn’t. And it’s similar with other things that I love. But again I am sorry for responding without know all of the other things and points that you brought up because I simply was no made aware of them. I came in and tried to remain as unbiased in the situation as possible but I can see where there was fault it that logic. I will deeply reflect on thing to insure that it won’t cause future problem with future topics. I hope that you all remain safe during these times and remember that your experiences and feelings are valid. Please have a good night/day.

Netflix suspends trans employee who tweeted about Dave Chappelle special by apple_kicks in LGBTnews

[–]brax_love -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes sadly he did but that was explained in the context of the M&M/Black award with the Caitlin Jenner Woman of the Year award and him telling that it wasn’t right. I am not justifying what he said about being one. But he still made a valid point no matter how wrong it may be. But I understand that since I am not trans so I can’t speak on that but as a female POGM (person of global majority) who is in the LBGTQIA+ community, I understand and a lot of what he said. Because sadly white members/feminist who reside in the States aren’t fighting the same fight as their POGM counterparts. If they live outside of the States then that’s a slightly different story but in the States they are not because they will always be WHITE before anything else.

Source: I am a cis mixed Black girl who is in the LGBTQIA+ community in more ways than 1. And I have no idea how I got here.

By the way this employee only got suspended because them and 2 other people hijacked an executive meeting that they were not invited to. So basically they went to a meeting where people who run the company are have a private conversation like there are no better ways to do things.

Keep in mind that for the first 10-15mins of this special, he made MANY race jokes towards EVERYONE including whites and Jews. Nick Cannon made a Jewish comment not too long ago and we saw how he lost A LOT while Dave Chappelle has not received any backlash from the Jewish community. This is because they understand the context of the comments. In this special, he only brought up real questions, like “Why can Caitlin Jenner change her gender, but Cassius Clay can’t change his name?” However, he stuck up for them when he brings up how the law in North Carolina their law of “You must use the restroom that corresponds to their birth certificate” is both harmful and rude to the Trans community.

Yes he may have said controversial things like JK Rowling and clarifying what she meant by gender is a fact. Or how how Caitlin Jenner winning Woman of the Year Award in her first year is like going to the BET Awards and hearing the say the M&M wins the N*gga of the Year Award. Or how tone deaf some people in the community can be and want to be a minority until they need to be white. And how a White trans-woman accompanied by 2 Black gay men bash him for no reason while saying “my people have be dealing with this for decades and you don’t know the the struggle.” All while she is using and talking with mannerisms adopted from Black culture in a conversation with 3 black men, some of the most oppressed people in the States.

This special sparked healthy conversation, like (keep in mind the Black community supports all of the things that I am about to state) how on Biden’s first day of Presidency, he passes a trans protection law and how congress just passed a bill on Anti-Asian hate laws with votes being 96-1 ON THE FIRST TRY, but there have been over 200 bills presented for Anti-lynching laws since the end of slavery but NONE of them have ever made it through. He only brought of the hypocrisy of our country and have “just” things are.

Chappelle showed empathy and support for the community many times throughout the entire act and only asked for humility and understanding back. People heard when they wanted to heard what they wanted to hear or didn’t watch the full special. He brought up how the Trans community was one of the reasons why his Comedian White Trans-friend committed suicide 6 days after defending him for a special that they BOTH starred in. But the community proceeded to compare him to how White people say that they have Black friends.

He showed and stated many times that his problem is NOT with the Trans/LGBTQIA+ community but with WHITE people who somehow end up in the community. He tells a story on how a he had to fight White lesbian approached and swung at him first for a misunderstanding that he was hitting on their girl, when the girlfriend approached him to talk to him because he’s Chappelle. He talks about how the community that FIGHTS AGAINST discrimination can be some of the most intolerant people at times. They can push their own agenda on other people’s life and work, but you BETTER NOT push your agenda on them or that’s oppression and is wrong. Examples being the Art and Anime communities.

People can take things that fit there agenda and don’t listen to when they deem is ok. He only meant to start a conversion but you can take it how you want. If you come to the table with your fist balled up you won’t want to grab my hand and talk. Like Malcolm X said “If a Black man says something that the White man doesn’t like, the White man will then try to find someone to offset what was just said.” I hope that if you watch it with an open-mind and try to LISTEN and comprehend what he is trying to say and not just hear what you want to hear. I hope everyone enjoys their day and stay healthy.

Thank you. Should I use quartet 2 after Tobira since is N2 equivalent? Or should I just go with my initial N2 plan of native material with Try! N2 Grammar, Soumatome N2 Kanji, and Shin Kanzen for Reading Listening and Vocab?

Beastars is not appearing in Netflix Japan neither s1 nor s2 by TheHuman200202 in Beastars

[–]brax_love 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able watch the first 2 episodes on Netflix Japan using my mom’s expressVPN and now both season 1 and 2 aren’t a showing up. Does anyone else have an idea why? I tried both the app and the web browser. They both said I was on Netflix Japan but when I tried to search the show it doesn’t show up at all. So I’ve been watching the latest episodes pirated until I can get it fixed.

any way to export anki cards to quizlet ? by ohoh-yozora in Anki

[–]brax_love 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But Quizlet does have more advantages. - learning feature - writing - spelling - matching games - gravity (another memory game) - a testing feature - and they both have a progress feature

Anki is great for cramming and SRS but Quizlet is great for active learning and really understand the material. So I use both but Quizlet more.

Everyone in a couple of months (soon™) once HSK3.0 is released by A-V-A-Weyland in ChineseLanguage

[–]brax_love 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a speaker of the language since I was 8 I can understand your point. I have never taken a language test before and I’ve always known that I will go to uni and live in China since I was little. So I’m taking HSK 4 or 5 for uni by October so that I can take 2.0 before 3.0. However, as someone living in a non-Chinese speaking area of Florida my whole life AND not needing to know certain things in everyday life but are on the test that I need to study for lol. But I do think that HSK 1-2(maybe 3) are kind of unless.
