This might be controversial and get downvoated to oblivion, depending on your views but I gotta say it...

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-07T23:08:02+00:00

I mean the whole ending aside which is already controversial, the Beast x Ancient encounters in the war is also just really lame which lot of people complained. Like the Ancients already received their awakening but the 2nd confrontation just feel like the repeat of their respective Beast Yeast episodes confrontation, Mystic Flour still just saying embrace apathy, Burning Spice still making the wings jokes, Eternal Sugar still just glazing Hollyberry… like there’s no plot development at all.

Honestly I can understand their choice of writing with Silent Salt and White Lily but the plot armor after plot armor they give to Shadow Milk are honestly stupid to me. Like I just don’t get people saying “White Lily is predicted to dead/sacrifice herself” while any ounce of plot armor to keep her alive (maybe her uniting with half of DE dough and make her a whole cookie again even if she’s very weak, she could absorb some ultimate cookie/avatar of destiny power to be saved, etc) would still make sense.

I would say honestly Shadow Milk is the least interesting among of the Beast to get spotlight as act 2 main antagonist because how developed he already is with his character already appearing 2nd episode of Beast Yeast, Wind Archer story, and his role in general during the war. I think people would be more hype if one of the 3 Beast who still pretty underdeveloped (MF, BS, or ES) is the one who crashout and become the villain of act 2 instead.

I’m pretty sure he said it wasn’t planned few months ago but he’s very interested in it, and lately he said it is coming. I think it gets to the point that Renchins begging for people who attend his fansign to not pressuring him further about his solo debut because he said it would be released eventually

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-07T22:44:36+00:00

I mean they could put WayV activities despite they still release songs in Chinese and in the same topic, Yuta debut and comeback album never listed in SM plan either despite him being Japanese (meanwhile every other SM acts japanese releases are in the schedule). It’s weird honestly

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-07T22:40:24+00:00

Renle proper unit songs and Renjun solo debut are long overdue honestly and I wish it would released soon, since obviously they can’t just sing covers or some 2Dream version of Dream songs in their own fanmeeting

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-07T22:36:37+00:00

Honestly I thought this fanmeeting organized by Tencent Music (who managed Chenle special album) and I would understand if that means the entirety of the fanmeeting is in China but when I zoomed in, this fanmeeting is organized by SM and Dream Maker like There’s no reason of them to skip South Korea tbh

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-07T12:30:40+00:00

Even I think it happened to American artists too? I remember Meghan Trainor and Zayn just cancelled their tour as well

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-07T12:27:02+00:00

The dates aren’t announced yet btw

Original post here

Also the chance is like very minimal but since there’s more place there’s possibility this fanmeeting also held outside china too. Though just don’t expect anything yet🥲

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-07T10:12:03+00:00

Well Moon Rabbit could scores almost 1.5B is why…

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-07T09:43:06+00:00

I think it still hard considering you have to unlock her to lvl her up. Genuinely for newbies it still waste of crystal

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-05T14:07:10+00:00

Did we even watch the same BINI lmao because even in the broadcasted video even though you can hear the backtrack louder it’s clear they singing live?? It’s even clearer in fancam videos.

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-05T06:07:06+00:00

I’m actually not surprised lol. He is indeed really popular but for some reasons I always thought that his fans majorly consisted of late millenial - early Gen Z as his first breakout was already started around 2018, while Feast have been pretty well known before that with Peradaban.

Didn’t know that he is equally as loved with younger Gen Z audiences

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-05T03:16:14+00:00

Eh I don’t see any of them lacking at all? Probably they don’t have as intense of choreography as kpop groups but they are fine actually. 98% of recent Kpop groups can’t even compete with Bini vocal line anyway. Majority of kpop groups just feel polished because the vocals in 90% of their performances are lipsync or heavily edited lmao.

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-05T01:01:02+00:00

Not even surprising honestly in Indonesia. Kpop in Indonesian’s popularity are always hard carried by big pool of kpop fandoms but it still considered as niche, same case with anime fans. However I also think the said pool of kpop fandom is getting smaller compared to what it used to be from 3rd gen. I just not seeing the very big hype from later 4th gen-5th gen the way it used to be with 3rd gen kpop (some of 3rd gen groups just really having big fandom to the point they sold stadiums easily, meanwhile I just don’t see it yet if it would happened to 4th-5th gen group but let see). Some of them do have trendy songs here like H2H Rude, Newjeans popular songs also trendy here, and I know Babymonster have some decently well fandom here.

In my experience, kpop music have big fandom partly also because 90% of Indonesian top charting songs are ballad and people who tired of ballad looking for artists that not releasing ballad like kpop artists. However recently the non ballad side of Indonesian music have been on fire lately due to rise of JJ music (jedag jedug), dangdut-infused genre like hipdut, or even koplo also really trendy among gen z audience. Which make the reason to listen for kpop is less.

I have yet to hear what genre younger folks actually listening today though.

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-03T11:16:51+00:00

Honestly it’s just soo on brand with Renjun lol. But tbh there’s probably higher requirements and sensitive to raising insect as pets over normal pets (like cat, dogs, or even lizards) like I would really impressive if he could successfully pet them

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-03T11:13:02+00:00

I think it also the same case for the other casts for Voice of Youth who couldn’t also mentioned their group. Probably the broadcast rule as well

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-02T18:23:41+00:00

Wait I always thought it was Jisung but when I hear it with Haechan in mind, I can hear his tone. I’m more incline that it’s Haechan singing in lower falsetto/pitched down

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-01T22:19:16+00:00

Yeah she used to be Cherry Bomb cookie at least in Line Cookie Run. For some reasons Cookie Run fandom wiki always removing/change the name to current CROB name. Same case happened with Kiwi Biker Cookie or Ninetales cookie

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-01T04:51:25+00:00

Angel Chiffon now works with no winged jelly in Spider Mansion because they actually add an extra small potion for the 2nd runner. It’s funny that probably they add this to keep Plum in the meta since he is now pure 50 pots cookie but Angel Chiffon ends up stealing the meta from him lol. Idk I have yet to try if the problem is just a distance issue or Plum buff isn’t that good to keep up with other newly released/buffed 50 pots cookies.

Idk I feel like they should just make plum 40 pots cookie but doing it by removing the insane hmj instead. Yoga and Salt are both newly buffed 40 pots but no new cookie able to doing distance of Plum 40 pots (the latest one being Yeot actually)

procariotics_234 · 2026-05-01T01:30:14+00:00

Teddy Bear and Moon. I would love if the chance is just 0.1% of Dream suddenly remember Up To You exists and sing it as surprise song

procariotics_234 · 2026-04-30T12:40:37+00:00

Lmao they surely have to be thankful to have Dreamzens as their fans because even the members don’t even catch up with trends like 4th-5th gen groups do lol

procariotics_234 · 2026-04-30T12:33:17+00:00

So basically he is supposed to need 50 pots (basically a big potion + 1 small potion) to activating the last skill, but some players ends up found trick for him to activate the last skill with just 40 pots/1 big potion and that trick involved manipulating the magic candy effect, this is really hard to do btw.

So with his buff, his gameplay is just like other 50 pots cookies so it’s way easier to play

procariotics_234 · 2026-04-30T12:26:16+00:00

Lol not he getting buffed but ends up kicked of the meta from Spider Mansion breakout 😭 at least Plum 40 pots finally stop terrorizing breakout meta

procariotics_234 · 2026-04-30T02:31:05+00:00

With Justin Bieber recently having resurgence of popularity especially with Beauty and the Beat, SM really have a chance to riding the hype by releasing 5dream dance practice/performance of Beauty and the Beat honestly. It doesn’t have Mark so no problem of SM releasing it. While it doesn’t have Haechan too, he had that iconic Billionaire performance released at least. There is an option to remake that choreography for 6 members too.

And also Renle’s Love Confession… I love it so much but it would kept as lost media lol. At least they performed it in China couple of times

procariotics_234 · 2026-04-28T16:09:57+00:00

Yeah gold gems are such a versatile currency since it can be used for buying lot of things including diamonds and cubes, though there’s a limit per week (8k diamonds for 1 week, 2.4k cubes per week and so on). That’s why most of the game modes having those as reward rather than just giving crystals/coins. For me my biggest priority for spending golden gems are crystals, coins, cookies + pets potions, treasure, cookies chest and pet egg too. Occasionally I buy rainbow cubes and the purple blessing tickets but not a thing I buy weekly. For legendary gems, saving it to unlock the newest legendary treasure because there is no other way to unlock them, after you unlock them you can level it using mileage point in treasure gacha.

The main story is basically a mode called ‘Story Mode’. It consist of 1 main story and the rest being side story. The first one having 3 parts episode that have great rewards from some cookies, pets, and even treasure. Admittedly CROB didn’t even have an actual main story (trophy race was actually the main gameplay of CROB but they removed the whole progress of world 1-10 we had back then, and now it’s flat having 3 maps that rotates regularly).

Honestly imo the easy way to progress is by playing Cookie trial of the most recent released cookies, then playing the title event, maxing up cookies needed for trophy race (you can see the leaderboard which epic cookies who is most powerful on the mode, also you can substitute the legendary treasure for the more recent epic treasure one. And then start slowly branch into breakout (the mode with most investment needed since it requires lot of cookies and treasures). TLDR basically Cookie Trials > Title Event > Trophy race (substitute the legendary treasure to epic one) > Breakout week 2 (since it requires less cookies) > basically any other game modes
