feel good hypocrites in denial ;)
as usual...this is just a random post...i guess this post will get quite some clicks for the controversial title...haha...
first...let me give you something to feel good...
seokyu is definitely one of their best dancers if not the best...i mean...i'm no good judge of this dance thing...but whenever i watch them...my eyes automatically goes to him even without having to see it's him...bcuz his moves are always so...umm...extra....xD....i love the choreo....><
get to know them n love them if you will...although if you're just fans of fancy music show stages n fancy music videos..this group hardly have those....they're more underdogs n underrated than ur 'underrated' oppars. T^T...
1. jang moonbok haters who keep reasoning they hate him cuz he's not talented, not improving, contributes nothing blablablablabla are just hypocrites in denial. let's not pretend there aren't any kids severely lacking talents or just so so average/subpar in top 20 even...and yet...nope...no hate at all for most of those peeps, all the focus of these ppl is always only jang moonbok. cmon...just admit it...you don't like him cuz he's not handsome enough to be ur oppar n you see handsomeness=talents.
it's just annoying when ppl keep trying to justify hate with legit reasoning...when clearly it's something else.
it's just pathetic. all these pretentiousness.
2. i've been looking around for fics to read...cuz...i really want to find fics to read so i can leave comments n collect as many karma points as i could while i'm still a gold member n could get more karma points with a little less effort....but it's really not easy to find sth to read....instead...i found sth to criticize...but since i don't like to shame ppl in public...let's keep this anonymous...
so i found a fic that is reaaaaalllllllyyyyyy familiar....the fandom, the pairing, even the plot, and events...i don't think it's enough to count as plagiarism though...unless the writer says so. initially...i thought the first fic was something i found while looking at other sites....bcuz no way two very similar thing can happen in aff...not to mention, the tag doesn't even have thaaaaaaaaaat many fics...so it'd be easier to notice...n even though i did read at least half the fics...i wasn't interested to go to the end bcuz the plot just bored me so i didn't comment...just checked em up...n leave...but enough to know what happen n what's gonna happen...seriously it ain't that hard to predict most fics here...some ppl can prove you wrong...most don't even want to...
but when i scroll back the fics under the tag...indeed it's a 'copy(?)' from this site...like i say....there were some lazy changes made so it might not be enough to be considered plagiarism...
but as a result....
other than feeling the patheticness of the so obvious similarities...
this situation made me feel special....n feel good about myself...
sure...i might lack freshness amongst my own fics...they always tend to have certain similar features to each other...even the subject of my stories are not that varied, or the characteristics, dynamics,...but you can never say i copy other peeps stories...that i can be sure of. bcuz my fics will never be the same as other peeps...maybe just the same with my other fics...but not with other peeps. why? cuz i don't copy...or "take inspiration"....from other fics i read...n i'm not significant enough to have ppl copying me...even if they try...they won't succeed to completely copy without being obvious since i always bring in my own brand of twists n turns/fic characteristics that make my fics mine even if the ideas themselves weren't that fresh. i've had quite a few readers who hated me cuz the fics didn't went the path of their prediction n expectations.
in fact, i'm so amused that this 'writer' not even use same fandom, same pairing, write at the same site, same inspiration/situation....even down to the events in plot n even vocabs? hmm.......i mean...seeing everyone write the same characters are funny enough....n i can't believe the readers haven't point it out...like...that's obviously lazy attempt to get subs because popular pairing why not yay...but copying all characteristics of the other fic? uhuh....
dude...you need to learn the art of copying while keeping it classy...not like i condone copying...it kinda defeats the purpose of writing n for a writer....it's the lowest you can get...at least that's what i think......but if you must...at least don't make it that obvious/lazy....
i know it's not that easy to be original...i mean...tbh, i don't think it's that hard...but i can understand those who find it difficult....but when you make effort to NOT be original....that's just.....unfortunate...
and when you still get fame, subs, praises and all that after doing that obvious thing....this site just hit a new low. for the writer n their readers alike...i don't believe it if the readers claim they don't read both fics...i don't want to say out the reasons cuz then it might be too obvious...but yeah....though i didn't check the subs yet...i can bet at least 99% that at least a good number of the subs are subscribed to both fics....
how unfortunate...
while i might not have reader...looking around made me feel that i can really be proud of my own boring but not copied /rollseyes/ stuffs....
when i eventually get reader if any...they'll be worthy of my fic...n my fic will be worthy of them...i'm very sure of that...so if i don't have any...maybe there's just no one worthy of 'em yet...
3. random things that made me happy while stalking instagram...
- my kid yongjin are posting a lot of english captions in his photos...even when he didn't n someone ask sth...he'd translate the caption....wow...so not only my kid is good at singing n rapping, he's also good in english...he even posted family photo...n idk...just seeing my kid makes me happy...snifle...
- speaking of english...geenie from bulldok is also showing effort to communicate with english speaking fans...even from back then...in their youtube live...i could see she really wants to communicate in english with the fans...even though she might not be that good....now i can see she's improving...so she did follow up...i'm so proud of this girl...when is bulldok coming back again? T^T....they debuted in october...this is already wayyyy too long for a rookie to make comeback....sigh....
- my mr. not human...aka im han byul...have been posting vids of him singing in instagram...i wonder when will he post new full cover on youtube tho...cmon....his otherworldly singing makes my world happier...although i'm always anticipating an album with his own songs instead of just covers tbh...but as long as i get to hear him sing i guess....
- my battle members....still hanging out with each other...kihyun n hwichan.....and when i see other members like ryu, chris...always liking the pics...n even seeing jungjin liking my battle kids' pics too...made me so happy....i would never have thought battle n a'st1....two of my all time bias groups would ever be close/friendly with each other...considering even their active period n debut time were different...but i guess fate had a way of bringing my favs together...through that men fc thing that later brought m.e.n group...a unification of battle, a'st1 reps....taehwa n jungjin...with other dudes from men fc...i remember i was kinda against it when i first heard they're gonna be a group...bcuz my battle fangirl heart couldn't take the possibility of that group breaking my battle...but apparently it's just a project group for a year or so...and...now i already have their album too...xD
4. alrite...two negative stuffs already in the beginning...let's end this with plenty of positivity...and that means....my 'new' kids...xD...thanks to them...i don't even feel like watching the recent ep of produce 101 anymore which i planned to watch since after this there's nothing else i want to watch in that show...maybe i want to watch ep1-2 though to catch glimpse of them...
ok random vids time...
- when seokyu was about to lift up his shirt...i could not watch...seriously...i feel like i'd violate him or sth just by watching...thank goodness when i did watch a lil through my fingers-filter...it's nothing compared to all shirtlifts kids overdone in produce 101...thank goodness just a lil teasing...don't do that again, you're a kid that needs to be protected...lmao(eventho younger kids than him did more in the show so...). but during the punishment time...when he's punished...unlike when the hyungs being punished...he's always bravely taking in whatever they want to give silently...my kid is so strong...even if he doesn't look like it....minho tho...dude is scaring me T^T...why is he always so excited n passionate in performing the punishments...i've seen him like this too in other vids of their weird games...how could you be so harsh to lil seokyu too? sniffle...let me just pretend that he just did that so he had excuse for a hug...but i was just watching another vid of same punishment to some other member...he even took off his jacket just to uhm...prepare to perform the punishment n he always do warm up or some sort of preparation with his fingers n i'm like...dude...is this necessary all the time....T^T(how come i haven't find the time when he's the one on the receiving end of this punishment too? lucky kid...)...even though it's all supposedly for fun..i never like those punishment sessions...whether it's flicking finger on forehead...group beating the loser's or whatever(not sure since they always turn off lights for this particular punishment)...or eating horribly spicy things in the name of food o(ok, this one's not game punishment, just more like punishment for everyone for fun???)...they never fail to make me feel a lil uncomfortable....i guess i'm also influenced by the group's history with violence...even if those are diff members...sometimes i wonder if the environment will make the members develop this tendency...pls don't let seokyu absorbed n be influenced by his experience as victim to victimize others...T^T, n minho dude please tone down a lil of your 'spirit' when it comes to punishments....
maybe i'm worrying unnecessarily...
but i really hope their company would take cue from their little exposure in produce 101 to hurry up make a comeback in korea for the group. i learnt four more members have left and are now members of a new group debuted this year.....lesigh...
so they're left with five members now....that's fine...don't add more members...they're quite good at singing n rapping already. even though i'm suspecting one of the members who left was the main vocalist...but from their vids i've watched...i'm pretty sure there's at least someone that fit to take that position in the group still in the group...just let them have legit comeback before they lose all the little relevancy they gained from the show...the hell you waiting for....T^T....they've suffered enough in the state of not here neither there...this is worse than being just nugu idol tbh...
and although i hated this song...unlike dbsk's overcutesy kindergarten ver....this is actually quite more towards energetic n it made me like it a little(though i do hate their mv where they had distractingly bad hairstyles imo)...as always i like their showmanship, energy, vocal, n that high notes.
seokyu n minho future predicted/forecasted? this was 1+ years before their call me baby team 2 perf in produce 101...n seokyu had exact same part as in produce 101...at least for his first part...minho...not same part...(looking at the styles n hair though...this was definitely at the time they released balloons remake ugh...)
oh but speaking of this...just reminded me... i watched back call me baby team 2 perf closely n i just realized some adlibs n solid backing vocals were provided by the other rapper aka jang daehyeon(he's the same agency as kim donghan n...my spiderman jo seongwook xD)...i bet not many noticed this...it even seemed like he had the best vocals next to joo jinwoo n he's a rapper so i'm mindblown...he's like...my kid yongjin! i think i'm going to stan their group when they debut...but i'm just worried if mr.spider would debut with them bcuz he's like newest kid on the block...trainee for 2-3 month...and it still surprised me jang daehyeon received the highest votes in call me baby team 2...he even got 100 votes. that's like 3rd highest out of the two teams...with jang moonbok n yoon heeseok from the other team getting over 100 votes.
ok but why didn't minho got more votes than what he got? i think he got 40++ or sth...like...how? he was extremely good in the perf...
as long as i get my ship...i'm happy camper...and i even get to know another member a little...hopefully i'll be able to tell him apart from other members after this...but idk....seokyu really is the only one with extremely distinctive features. but even here...there's that punishment...noooo...save my poor lil seokyu....i'm kinda jealous they're in odaiba though...i really wanted to go there before this but...time wasn't enough....next time i go japan...i'm gonna go there...T^T...
a good video to get to know them since they introduced themselves here...i only couldn't capture the third guy's name...T^T....help me...anyway, this was from last year...half of the members are already out by now...n i guess the dude who's most fluent in japanese is one of 'em....so...i'm not sure how it's gonna be after this..n how many talkative members left....they only have five members now...or at least that's what their profile n some recent vids in their instagram suggest...they sure love imitating minho's voice...lol...but when it comes to seokyu...n the members...idk...i always feel there's sth weird...if you watch all the videos/interactions closely...you might notice...or not...maybe i'm overthinking....
just sharing a song i haven't shared in previous blogs....seokyu sounded so good here....><
another one....not really fond of this song tbh...but this was definitely their song...released in same single as balloons.
who'd have thought they'd even have cover for this song? xD
oh...they're full of surprises...really...
let's see if you can handle this...lol. they did perform this a few times...
for more serious songs: maybe you can find here or here.
i'm going to end for now with this song again...
cuz i just love it....so cutesy(but not the kind of cutesy that annoys me) n energetic...n not too weird....lmao....n i love their craziness...it reminds me of rainbow. though i think rainbow is a lil crazier....lol. i wish they'd perform this cover more...this is the only perf of this song i could find from them.
i think out of debuted groups in produce 101...i end up being most ready to stan jjcc n pureboy. but i feel like i just need to root so much more for pureboy.....hopefully....they'll have a comeback...T^T...
