Apr. 11th, 2017 08:08 amI think my favorite thing about this site is the random icon option when you post, otherwise it's frankly quite shitty in every way. People loved to complain about every new thing Livejournal did all the time, but this site is essentially what an old, unupdated LIvejournal looks like. It seemed like there used to be more icon slots too, but now you have to pay and it's like hahah yeah right. Oh the other thing I love is this skull mood theme and the one where it has a coffee.
So I'm almost done with Goblin, one more episode to go. I honestly can't believe people were complaining about the girl's acting, like seriously? She was absolutely great. You really felt the weight of her emotions in every scene. And since i'm one of those jerks who largely ignores the female characters, that coming from me is very rare. The last few episodes I was seriously getting confused on who remembered what lol. But probably my favorite part, other than that hilariously gay scene where the Reaper tries to hide the Goblin from Duk Hwa, is where he tells Sunny his name is Wang Yeo. It was subtle, but it felt like the hardest thing he'd ever had to say. There's some fine acting in this show, honestly. All the mains are truly fantastic and I can rarely seriously say that about any show. There's always someone overacting like fuck.
Still pressing on with Wu Xin. That commander cracks me up bc he makes the most ridiculous faces. Speaking of overacting...lool. Main guy though has some abs damn. I feel like I've seen the Yue Ya girl in something before. Waiting for Mike D'Angelo to show up, I haven't seen him in a minute.
Saw an article about fans hating Junno from KAT-TUN for I guess leaving and going solo and ugh that whole thing frustrates me so much. On one hand, I can understand bc it's like, wow, you knew KT was hanging by a thread and then you just bailed anyway. PLUS, not even to change your path, but to release solo music. And honestly, his solo music so far has been really sub-par. I thought when he had solos with KT that his voice was pretty strong, but his solos have shown so far that it's not. I like Junno a lot and lowkey want him to succeed, but I'm not pretending these singles have been good and honestly, leaving and then making a U-turn on music was kinda shitty.
Was perusing AKP yesterday and saw some article about D-list celebs namedropping BTS or whatever and their fans eating it up. Tbh, in all my years of following Asian music, I have NEVER understood why other fans are so jonesing for them to get recognition here. Like, just stop. It won't happen. They'll get recognition as a curiosity, nothing more. Americans have no tolerance for foreign acts and they especially seem to have something against Asians. Plus the celebrity culture is totally different here. If the choice is being recognize as a curiosity or not recognized at all, I'd choose the latter.
