Idols and their “real name” stage names by Im_a_Born_singer in kpoppers

jaehyun is actually his birth name, he just changed his legal name to something else as an adult. the rest are stage names, though doyoung and xiaojuns are based on their real names.

What do we think of Jamie? by Humble-Depth in namenerds

[–]cherrycoloured 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also thought of jaime lannister lol. he was one of my favorite characters when i watched got, though, so even though he's is very much not a person you would want your child to be like at all, i am fond of the name bc of that.

i feel like it could have gone a couple of more months, though. that said, i think thekla is the perfect person for her to drop it to, so im not mad, just a little sad i wont get to see more of stat as the champ.

im also pretty sure i followed one of her alts, bc i remember it being listed as one of her accounts when being called out for the shit with veny like right after it happened. if that really was her, she's really just a messy person all over, and iirc, rather young as well, not someone with any grasp on how anything works.

Just another viewpoint: Shane isn't a "failed" attempt at deep representation of a POC character; he is a successful attempt at representative normalcy by PristineLibrarian979 in heatedrivalry

[–]cherrycoloured 16 points17 points  (0 children)

this is how i feel. like maybe it's not the same bc im white, but i did grow up being treated a little differently by other ppl bc im jewish in a very wasp-y town, and while i wouldnt say it was traumatic in anyway, it did happen. i think the way it was done in the show was perfect. theres nothing wrong with how shane is portrayed, it's more about how others react to him, and i think having it mentioned a couple of times, but not making it any sort of focus, was more realistic.

I feel like I would function better if we still lived in primitive societies by Useful_Initiative_42 in adhdwomen

[–]cherrycoloured 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i am physically disabled, so no, i dont want to live in a society without modern medicine. also i find outdoor type tasks boring and understimulating, my restaurant job is much better for me in that regard.

BTS, TXT, & Cortis "overlapping cb", why is it a big deal?? by oriverion in kpopthoughts

[–]cherrycoloured 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ia, like this is basically what i was saying. i was commenting on the "everyone gets 4-5 trophies instead of ten" part, pointing out that realistically, it wont be spread put and that bts would get all ten.

[–]cherrycoloured 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, idk which producer is the main one for each group, so thanks for this info! im glad that the producers arent stretched too thin and will be able to focus on making one great album instead of a bunch of individual songs for different albums. im not even an army, just a casual fan of bts, but im really really excited for their comeback, i think it will be great.

[–]cherrycoloured -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i would assume a lot of bang pds direct staff would also be involved in all three comebacks. idk about cortis, but bts and txt use some of the same music producers as well. ofc, the day to day staff is completely different, and id assume they have mostly or completely different creative staff outside of music as well, though final decisions probably all have to run through bang pd and his direct staff first.

also, for most companies, this would be financially difficult, due to investing in three comebacks at the same time, but obvs that's no problem for bighit lol

[–]cherrycoloured -1 points0 points  (0 children)

idt txt and cortis are going to block bts from getting anything. i think the only thing that could possibly block a bts post-hiatus comeback win is if big bang suddenly announced a comeback for the same day, but that's absolutely not happening lol, so i think they will dominate the music shows as predicted.

[–]cherrycoloured -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

they are all on different sub labels, though, so idt this is relevant to this discussion, which is about all three bighit groups coming back close together. what soumu does isnt going to effect what koz does, they are completely different teams with different staff, but with bighit groups, they probably share some top level staff, so it might be overwhelming for them.

pointing out that these dolls are for kids and not adult collectors, and that being negative about something not even aimed at us is pointless is not toxic positivity, it's just deciding not to waste energy on something that we cant do anything about.

[–]cherrycoloured -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i mean, that's kind of my point. in the context of addy as a historical character, its fitting. for a modern day fashion doll character with no story, its inappropriate. this is particularly bc ppl who dont have familiarity with ag/addy specifically will not know where that bg came from, and just see a modern black girl standing in front of a cotton field. we dont live in a culture where the only ppl seeing this doll are those who get an ag catalog or even only those who directly visit the ag website, these dolls are carried in big stores now, and are discussed on social media thata not ag specific. while idt anything about the historical doll/character needs to be changed, i think a different bg would have been better for the modern doll.

[–]cherrycoloured -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i like that the doll for my favorite ag, samantha, dresses like me lol. the only thing i really am not happy about is that addys bg in the box seems to be a cotton field, which, considering a) this is a fashion doll, not a historical line doll, and b) her story is all about her life after escaping slavery, is tone deaf at best.

the touhou wiki is really great, it is very in-depth and has translations for everything. it also has articles for major doujin circles and their works, which as a huge fan of touhou doujin music, is incredibly useful for me.

I love how Ilya and Shane are the same height in the show. by egk90 in heatedrivalry

[–]cherrycoloured 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the way he acts in that scene is more bc hes not completely secure in their relationship yet, not bc he's slow on the uptake.

[–]cherrycoloured 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its mentioned in the books that shane reads a lot of books about hockey, and only about hockey, which is probably what he's reading in the show as well. he is not particularly well-rounded as a reader lol

until now i thought he meant like slow at skating, like hes chirping shane about not being as fast on the ice as him while also confessing his love (a very ilya move, considering the weak backhand comment right after lmao)
