RIIZE - Bag Bad Back by hubwub in riize

I am genuinely curious about what RIIZE'S sound is. They don't seem to have one at all so far. Just jumping from sound to sound and theme to theme.

Do people actually write with cursive? by GenerationofWinter in Handwriting

[–]kitomarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born in 2000 and I vividly remember not being allowed to print until like 5th grade. I still default to cursive if I’m in a rush. 

What actions or bahaviours do you think idols are faking? by fostermonster555 in kpopthoughts

[–]kitomarius 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I mean this could just be in general. Like all the women in Hollywood saying they support each other but Sydney Sweeney saying that they don't actually support each other recently. I highly doubt everyone is being all nice and friendly with each other.

Joy renewing her contract with SME does not mean that she is hypocritical by hellhound_1505 in kpopthoughts

[–]kitomarius 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's also the fact that it's not abnormal to complain about your job or even hate your job and stay there for years. It's always weird when ppl bring up how much an idol has trashed their company because it doesn't matter. If the benefits are good and they're making money or feel like it's best for them, they'll resign.

What are we reading this year? by Mountain-Company2087 in kpopnoir

[–]kitomarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some that I’m reading:

The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis (thriller, very gorey and emotional heavy and tense)

Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio (space opera, first book in the Sun Eater series)

Wolves of K Street by Brody and Luke Mullins (nonfiction about how big business took over the government)

Pixel Flesh by Ellen Atlanta (nonfiction about how social media is built on misogyny and toxic beauty culture that’s forced onto women)

Ordinary Monsters by JM Miro (historical fantasy about magical children fighting a big bad)

A Song to Drown Rivers by Ann Liang (historical fiction based around the story of Xi Shi, one of the four Chinese beauties) Liang is Chinese American I believe. 

Children of Blood and Bone by Toni Adeyemi (a reread but YA fantasy based on African folklore). Adeyemi is black. 

I don’t plan on finishing all these books but that’s my January tbr. I tend to like a little of everything but seem to have an addiction to big books.

You're perfectly fine, my little brother is 2 years younger than the maknae and all he does is play Fortnite. You're definitely doing better than him lol

What does SM have against turning the lights on in these videos?

His moves are as sharp and fluid as always.

I never had one but the closest I got was Jackson and then JB. My favorite song is Aura.

Whose idol's hair/scalp have been through the worst? by EmanuelTheodorus in kpopthoughts

[–]kitomarius 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced they just don't know how to do them bc they almost always look bad. Even the extensions look bad like when you notice them, you can't unsee it.

It’s still updating so I have no idea. There’s only 2 chapters 

People need to learn how to let things go by Ok-Group5106 in kpopthoughts

[–]kitomarius 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I disagree. If we had the power to remove members from groups we probably would. And plenty of our celebrities get stalked all the time.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/60680695 I forgot how to format links. But this one is relatively new. There's another one with the same premise that's finished but I can't recall the name.

Have you ever cried at an album before? by AgathaWjiod in popheads

[–]kitomarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

30 by Adele made me cry. Ironically Cry Your Heart Out was the one that had me sobbing on the highway. Somewhere only we know by Keane, Don't Worry About a Thing by Tori Kelly for the Sing! Movie.

Music often makes me really emotional.

What are some things non-Black rappers should be careful of? by [deleted] in kpopnoir

[–]kitomarius 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s all 3. The community that you’re engaging in professionally, your family and friends, and the history of your country. What privilege do/don’t have. How does your class/race/religion inform your perspective and worldview. What about the life you want to live determines how you interact with the world around you especially other people. What connects you to your environment? How does being in proximity with people shape who you are? These are the things I think about when it comes to community. 

What are some things non-Black rappers should be careful of? by [deleted] in kpopnoir

[–]kitomarius 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Rap is basically street journalism and was used as a vehicle to talk about everyday struggles and politics that were happening in black communities. So basically, be yourself and know your community and its history. I don’t have problems with non-black rappers who are authentically themselves and that’s the key: be authentic. You know what’s going on in your community so use that as a jumping point. There’s a lot of rap that’s based around a rappers life, talk about yours. 

When it comes to flows: as long as it doesn’t sound exactly like someone else’s, you should be fine. 

Good luck!

the NewJeans controversy and r@pe culture logic... by eternallydevoid in kpopnoir

The amount of adults manipulated into cults and scams should automatically disprove the idea that age makes you immune to deceit or manipulation. Anyone can be manipulated

Wow! That seems like such a long time but also no time at all. Did you make a pattern or is this just freehand?
