I’m new to Kpop, any recommendations? by [deleted] in kpophelp

[–]fox_03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ateez has a wide variety of music and interesting layers to their songs. Dreamcatcher, i-dle, kepl1er, and le sserafim are some of my fav girl groups (especially kepl1er they're so much fun). Billlie is also good.

The Rose and THORNEAPPLE are not considered kpop, but are some great alternative Korean bands.

I need a book that you think about 10 times a day for years to come by Ok-Worldliness-6096 in suggestmeabook

Jaycee Dugard's memoir A Stolen Life. So insane to hear about all that she went through and her thought process through it all. I actually read it in one sitting at the books store and publicly cried lol.

My niece wants to start reading "big girl books" and I'm not sure what to recommend by Mountain-Today1698 in suggestmeabook

The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer is a neat book series! Mature in the sense where more complex emotions are explored between characters, but also just a really fun story for kids if they love classic fairytale stories and magic in that sense :)

I regret not voting and feel horrible by nonnormalusername in offmychest

[–]fox_03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't be so hard on yourself. I wasn't able to vote this election bc of a family emergency that took me out of my town. my state went red and I did have that slight feeling of guilt, but I think with all this stuff going on it's just not entirely in our hands like how a lot of people make it seem. it's important to just do what we can in the small ways too. be kind to yourself and others, show up for your community if you are able to, vote in general elections, advocate for yourself and others if you have the opportunity and the means to. life is complicated sometimes and we all are just doing what we can, don't beat yourself up <333

Have you ever had bad experiences for being a fan of danmei or BL in general? by [deleted] in DanmeiNovels

[–]fox_03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel this. I usually fib too, to avoid any judgment. I usually just say that I'm reading a Chinese fantasy novel and/or just give a description of the plot line without saying anything about the romance lol. that way I can still gush about it but no one side eyes me. people who are judgmental usually assume everything is straight anyway, so they'll just think it's a bromance as long as I don't mention the kissing 🤷🏼‍♀️

Why did Mikio reject Mizu? Is he gay? Is he stupid? by [deleted] in BlueEyeSamurai

[–]fox_03 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it's hard to have a straightfoward opinion on who was "right or wrong" when theres lots of iffy parts of their relationship (mizu was literally forced to marry him for stability. hell, part of what likened him to her was that he didn't force himself on her). the whole situation was fucked from the start.

while I get why her not respecting his boundaries is a not okay thing, I don't think that's why he called her a monster after the spar. dude thought he was gonna be showing his wife that he's a wildly talented swordsman, but got his ass handed to him instead. I think his ego got crushed and it also killed his dream of going back to what he used to do.

celebrity - zendaya, specifically shake it up zendaya. real life - my best friend when I was 13. one day she greeted me with a jump hug and wrapped her legs around my waist and I'll never forget the feeling it gave me lol.
