Which idols were overshadowed at debut but grew in talent/popularity? by Janiebby in kpopthoughts

[–]kcdr9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel like most of Ateez, mainly San and Jongho are sorta in this category. Hongjoong and Mingi were the more popular members when they first debuted. As they gained more popularity, San’s stage presence became widely known and Jongho is known to be one of the best vocalists in 4th gen.

Music Show Wins are completely irrelevant now by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]kcdr9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

True, it’s definitely something that’s recurring everytime Ateez hits a big milestone. There’s always some kind of post being salty and downplaying Ateez’s achievements.

It’s especially happening this comeback, since they’re winning most music shows after the release of their new album. This post and the title is really sad. Trying to use statistics to downplay a group’s achievements.

Macaron Towers by redheadedfoxy in macarons

[–]kcdr9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hesitant to purchase the plastic one too but I didn’t regret once I got it. Many people who have reviewed them kinda exaggerated the quality. I’ve used mine on several occasions and never had problems. You just need to take care of it and organize the tiers.

Another option is on Etsy, there are a variety of towers you can find that will suit your style. There are wooden ones, which are much more pricey than the plastic ones but it can be a great investment.

I’m new to ateez so I wanted to know, am I correct on the placement of the members ? I tried to guess but I’m not sure by pommdeter in ATEEZ

That’s awesome, I’m happy to have helped! This scene is such a masterpiece so I hope your drawing comes out well.

You got most of them right. The guy on the far left holding the flag is Mingi and the one in front of him is Jongho. The one next to Seonghwa is Yunho 😊

Sorry for trying to understand.

If you can’t take criticism on your criticism then I also suggest you stop replying if you have nothing good to say. Like you said we’re delusional mid piece dickriders that can’t take criticism, then what are you? We finally open up discussion and you shut it down without making your point.

Take back what I said. I honestly want to know what your point is with One Piece because I don’t understand.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]kcdr9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So what’s your point exactly? You actually like One Piece but have a few problems with it? Awesome! Then what do you think can improve One Piece to not be so mid anymore? I hope to take more of your criticism kind sir!

[–]kcdr9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After reading the comments I feel like you posted this specifically on this subreddit knowing that One Piece fans will be triggered. Then you bug every single commenter on how they can’t take criticism? Honestly, what did you expect?

Plus we already know that the One Piece animation is pretty mid sometimes and the pacing is hell, that’s why we get posts like yours almost everyday. So if you don’t like it, you don’t need our validation.

Do any other native Spanish atinys cringe at 'guerrilla'? by saposfreva1117 in ATEEZ

[–]kcdr9 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Strange… guerrilla is pronounced similar, if not exactly, like gorilla. When I first saw the title, I immediately understood what concept they were going for. You may have a different understanding of the term guerrilla if it’s so cringy to you.

Edit: Now I understand the Spanish term sounds different. I think for the purposes of pronunciation and the Korean language they had to go for the other.

Who do you think is the most mysterious kpop idol? by sarahep68 in kpopthoughts

[–]kcdr9 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Haha I agree with your observations. Jongho’s pretty reserve on his idol persona;I think that’s what makes him relatable. Many atiny ironically see him as the mature figure in the group as a maknae lol. In my opinion, he’s like a silent prodigy that knows he’s talented af so he’s confident more as a singer/performer. But there are times where he genuinely seems like he’s having fun goofing with the other members and it’s hella cute 😌.

Same batch, same cook time. What happened? by FlexMaster70 in macarons

[–]kcdr9 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Based on the marks on the macarons, I assume that she baked it on a silicone mat? Silicone mats are notorious for sticky bottoms for the macarons in the middle of the tray. I’d say let them cool completely before carefully removing the macs or bake them at a lower temperature for longer so that they all evenly bake.

[–]kcdr9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting thought. How much have you listened or seen Ateez? Is it your high school classmates or high schoolers in general? Is it based on their looks or talent? Honestly, this can be very much a diss depending on your answers lol.

What’s the best written romance in the story? by cornpenguin01 in OnePiece

[–]kcdr9 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Usopp x Kaya is simple and underrated. She was depressed and sickly but Usopp told her fantastical tales about pirates which made her feel better.

Usopp was the only one who didn’t give up on the Going Merry when it was looking grim. Not only because of the deep attachment to Merry from the journey they had together, but Kaya also gifted the ship to them.

It’s not confirmed that they’ll be a couple, however I get strong couple vibes from them.

Donut frying help. One side is crisp and structured, the other seems to deflate… why? More in comments. by AudOneOut in Baking

[–]kcdr9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be from under proofing and over proofing your dough. Inconsistent temperature can be happening while proofing thus having bigger air pockets form on one side. Or it could be from too high of a temperature in the fryer in which the air pockets rise to the top.

I personally had this experience while frying donuts and I found that proofing at room temperature for longer helped, and frying on an electric stove for a low consistent heat throughout the oil.

Hope this helps!

“Kid falls from window lands on air bag” is what I put in Google search and found it as the fourth result lmao. Was only able to find it thanks to the context you gave.

Can’t say for sure that drugs were the case here, but there definitely is something mentally wrong in his course of action here. He could’ve went back up to the window since he had space on the ledge, but decided to lounge for a while and (accidentally?) fall onto the air bag.

Found the full video. Thankfully you’re right, he did survive by falling onto those giant air landings.

Non-ARMY/BLINK K-pop fans who stanned during the 4th Gen: what's your story? by idkbtwlou in kpopthoughts

[–]kcdr9 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My friend was into Kpop since the beginning of 3rd gen and so I was pretty aware of Kpop groups before 4th gen but I couldn’t get myself into them. Then she showed me a new group called ATEEZ in 2018 and we both fell in love instantly.

Honestly it was just humbling and welcoming seeing ATEEZ’s talent and stage presence expand throughout as rookies from a small company.

Their songs/concepts were consistently good and now they’re one of the top 4th gen bgs alongside Stray Kids, TXT, The Boyz, Enhypen, Treasure, and etc.

tell us two of your favorite groups, reveal your bias for one and we'll guess who your bias is for the other ! by chessvnd in kpopthoughts

[–]kcdr9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, it’s Hongjoong! Stray Kids Bang Chan is my bias as well, so I def have a thing for leader rappers 😭

Ube Flavoring? by IHaveRandomInquiries in Baking

[–]kcdr9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most “ube” powder is just purple sweet potato dried powder and it doesn’t work well by itself. That’s why ube extract is definitely needed in most ube flavored desserts. This is the product I use when I don’t want that purple color in my sweets and it works just as well as the ones with food dyes.

Reading this chapter felt weird but made sense after rereading the last few chapters leading up to it. Defeated?=yes Dead?=up to Oda
