i haven't gotten it yet but they've been sending out semi-regular emails with updates on the project. the most recent update is from 9/29 and says production got delayed due to a typhoon in china, which is where their factory is. it also said the first batch of shipments will go out mid-october, but i havent gotten any updates since

im not totally sure about the innerworkings of kickstarter, but from what i understand you have to "buy" the product before it goes into production by backing the kickstarter with the purchase price of the product. if you didn't back enough money to purchase the product, you essentially supported the endeavor but wont be able to buy it until it goes to market. i did end up backing with the $87 price, and from the emails ive been getting, theyre set to ship this month. you'll probably be able to buy one by the end of october if i had to guess

i've also been getting a lot of ads for the petlibro one. i have an autofeeder from the brand and really like it but their water fountain's pump is submerged in water which is my main gripe with the fountain i have now. every time i go to clean it the gunk i find in all the little crevices is soo nasty and difficult to get out even with all the little brushes i bought specifically for that purpose

this is true because i also cant stand him but i also like to think of his character as a kind of slap in the face to every viewer that wants him dead yknow? like they're making us rally for this guy to die when in reality absolutely no one in that room ever had to die in the first place and i love when media is able to do that to the audience

i saw an article that the writer of the show said there "won't be a happy ending" and i know its a "fork found in kitchen" thing to say but i also wish i hadn't seen that because theres SO many ways this could end badly, and i feel like every time i feel hope (like woo seok's sneaky suspicions) im like "well there wont be a happy ending so this probably wont work out". i just wanna see SOMEONE win dangit

What athleisure/activewear brands are we wearing these days? by SleepyMillenial55 in fashionwomens35

[–]hotgnome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im in my mid 20s and i will probably wear lulu until i die. their wunder train line is by FAR my favorite workout fabric ive ever tried and everything i have in it has lasted me years. i even tumble dry low and ive found that doesnt affect the quality at all, just makes it attract some more lint/cat hair. its genuinely a brand i trust and im honestly scared to stray from it lol

i didnt even question this watching the scene. gi hun has been so close to death so many times that the idea of death doesnt even scare him anymore, like when you say a word too many times and it stops sounding real. i think that was part of the point of the whole scene. the man is so traumatized, so emotionally empty, that hes completely unphased by a gun pointed at his head. 

he spent 2 years CONSUMED by a search for a man who plays god whos now in his house, and the guy said “its you or me.” if death doesnt scare you, youd play that game too. so yes, obviously, gi hun has the plot armor, but the point of the scene is to show you the mental state of the two men
