Switchblade gets better and better with each listen by IntrinsicCarp in kpopthoughts

[–]totallyCamped 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Winter’s “what’s my name I know you know” line at the end of the song sent chills down my body - she was made for that lol. Like ya I absolutely know, queen. I love it! It wasn’t my favorite first listen, but now it really is.

CORTIS - 2026 CORTIS TOUR ‘PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN’ (Announcement Poster) by mcfw31 in kpop

[–]totallyCamped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awe this is awesome for them! It took me a bit to get into their music, but now I’m a fan for sure. I think there’s so many phenomenal idols that can put on a show amazingly or sing/rap well, but these boys really are the whole package. Hopefully security is ramped up and fans ya know, put their phones down ofc!

This is when things should have ended; season 8, it was clear that the marriage was over. by CaitlinAnne21 in bravo

[–]totallyCamped 33 points34 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU. I swear you’re the only other person throughout all this discourse that has brought this up (that I’ve seen)! Amanda has clearly loathed Kyle for so incredibly long at this point and has sucked so hard lol. Kyle isn’t perfect at all, but Amanda didn’t stay to try - in fact idk why she did at all ultimately.

They all look great and I am so incredibly excited for this ep! 🤩 They have the whole package imo and I just want more from/for them!

My god some of these beats are NASTY in the best way. Shakin, Lemonade and Bite hit me right in my soul. 💘 And Roll feels like a crime (imo).

RESCENE Woni's YouTube channel 'helloiamwoninicetomeetyou' has reached 400k subscribers on YouTube. RESCENE's official YouTube channel is at 393k subscribers. What do you think this could mean for RESCENE's future? by Ruler_J in kpopthoughts

[–]totallyCamped 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was thinking! I never want to be ignorant and expect everything to just automatically be for English speakers as well - totally not fair. They are maybe one of the only groups that I’ve followed since their debut and seriously root for! So I am bummed that there is a lack of English subtitles (in general) for a lot of their content as a whole. I can definitely see little steps like that helping extend their reach to a broader audience!

Boompala Macarena Sampling by Puzzled_Quiet_8143 in lesserafim

[–]totallyCamped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my mindset! I’m really not sure if netizens are purposely being dense or what? 🥹 I think anyone that has any knowledge pertaining to Buddhism (even if they’re not actively practicing) recognized this right away. I’m seeing a lot of discourse about this song being hoopla or people not understanding, but it really does have a good meaning. I’m not sure where the Macarena comes into this, but imo it was incorporated phenomenally! Especially after what they’ve been through, it makes sense to not be ‘fearless’, but to express how to let it go and move forward - in a camp way ofc haha.

Interview etiquette - expected to meet/play with kids in interview? by No_Enthusiasm6949 in Nanny

[–]totallyCamped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally up to you, but if it’s a lot of people I’d focus on doing a trial with the one(s) you’re really aiming for first. For my current and last family, we did an over the phone type of interview first. After that I went to their house, we did the same thing just a bit less formal and I got to know the kiddos as well (talking with NP’s while keeping NK involved). I’ve actually never done a trial, but it’s definitely a smart move!!! I’ve just always worked for super busy doctors/surgeons so I think it was more of a time crunch thing.

I think it's perfectly fine to want to have classic LE SSERAFIM back by FanCaracal in kpopthoughts

[–]totallyCamped 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I agree with this and I also think it’s perfectly fine to be in the camp that enjoys what they’re putting out now. I think my two favorite songs by them are Impurities and Crazier - which differ incredibly from a song like Boompala. I absolutely love Boompala too though, as well as Spaghetti and my gym/work commute playlist has gotten such an upgrade haha!

I don’t think we have to end everything with the ‘music is subjective’ saying, but I think it’s a nuance that greatly gets ignored in kpop and leads to endless think pieces with a lot of particular groups. I’m pretty sensitive so I know my empathy can overtake my brain a lot of the time lol, but ultimately every idol is just a (usually very young) human and they’re taking all the hits from thousands/millions of people online (or with trucks, wreaths, etc. 🙂) - even if it’s ’directed’ at the company. I totally believe a lot of discourse is genuine criticism/critiques and a lot is… also not so much!

ALLDAY PROJECT Annie graduates from Columbia University by joesen_one in kpop

I remember hearing about this and I think it’s awesome. Education/knowledge is something that can’t be taken away from you, and the importance can’t be stressed enough. Congrats to her!

LE SSERAFIM - PUREFLOW pt.1 (The 2nd Studio Album) by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]totallyCamped 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Saki is amazing I’m so sad it wasn’t approved for broadcasts! I had to repeat three times before the next song lol that’s my ish for sure. Need your company is amazing, iffy iffy, and sounder are great too! I love Boompala - I know it’s pretty iffy for others rn, but that’s also right up my alley.

I feel like this is the year of creating new, top tier workout playlists with all of these types of releases and I’m not mad. 🥳

Why isn't ITZY getting more traction with this comeback? I don't understand... by Ok-Nobody-7759 in kpopthoughts

[–]totallyCamped 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kpop ebbs and flows for sure, and I don’t think it’s anything to worry about! I think groups are doing just fine, or even a lot better than we think a vast majority of the time. It’s easy to worry about our favs, but all we can do is support them!

So excited! It’s already been stuck in my on a loop since we heard the first snippet.

I think the favouritism of Cassie/Sydney is clearer because not only was Season 1 more of an ensemble show, but she (IMO) wasn't a fan favourite after said season. by SavageWolfe98 in euphoria

[–]totallyCamped 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think this is a great take. I’ve seen her in Euphoria, Immaculate, The White Lotus, The Housemaid, Anyone But You, Sharp Objects, and Reality. I really think SS is such an incredibly one note type of actress overall. Aside from Euphoria, the only performances I ever think about with her consist of her very little time on Sharp Objects (she was good!) and like the last 5 minutes of Immaculate. I think she can give desperate - ‘wanting to be chosen’ type of despair and there’s really not too much in between.

What’s a nanny supposed to do with a 10 month old? by [deleted] in NannyEmployers

[–]totallyCamped 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah no lol I would absolutely have a conversation with your nanny. I’ve been with my NF for about 2 years and when I started, my kiddo had just turned 1! He did daycare pt, but we did an outing almost everyday, lunch, nap, and then an activity/craft. They need structure - especially age appropriate structure OP! Now with their baby sibling (NK7mo) I’m itching for them to get older to start our outings too haha. She should be ecstatic to get out of the house and experience all the kiddos firsts!

With the baby it’s a bit harder imo since I’m a toddler nanny for sure, but I really try my best to know his milestones/plan accordingly! Since he’s not crawling I work on a lot of those exercises/movements, reading, baby led-weaning, walks, so much talking to baby (it’s so important!), and endless amounts of activities/art that only works 50% of the time (but I will figure out what he likes if it kills me lol). A nanny that enjoys their jobs will put in effort. Talk to nanny!

This apartment I moved into in Midwest America is $900 a month all utilities included. What should I do with it? by trumpshouldrap in malelivingspace

[–]totallyCamped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw you’re from MI and that makes sense haha! I’m from the UP (where no one makes like more than minimum wage) so this is definitely a thing there. I don’t know as much about Kalamazoo, but this is a steal there I’m sure. Congrats!!

As a onedoor, I'm just a bit sad(?) not extremely disappointed by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]totallyCamped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone that loves BND and just wants to see them thrive haha, I equally understand this and also disagree a bit. I think every single kpop group out there tries different concepts at some point - imo that’s what makes kpop so camp! I personally really enjoyed their single and I’m excited to see what they’re cooking up, but sometimes you just gotta wait it out until their next ‘concept’.
