Not Today

 In following my new favorite brotp, I suddenly fully realized where/how these cray shippers cook up their delusions lmao.  That is, if you're already operating on an unstable platform. ;P  But basically, you put together a bunch of brief interactions combined with "couple" pictures and form a narrative that looks really complete on the surface.  The problem ofc, is that in real life, these interactions are super brief and if you look at them in the context of the whole group, it's obvious that it's not really isolated to one "couple".  It's obviously the most hilarious coming from ifans who don't understand that same-sex friendships in East Asia are often much closer than we're used to.

Basically, it's fairly obvious that Baek and Chen are close friends, but anymore than that?  Lol stop shooting up.  And that goes for pretty much every other "pairing".  Not to mention a huge chunk of it is scripted.  I don't think BaekChen is scripted, but you have to keep in mind that a lot of on-camera idol interactions ARE.

Meanwhile, I'm waiting anxiously for the shitstorm of ifan butthurt that's about to erupt over Lay's new MV.  Currently no one's posted the teaser, maybe to protect him but like dude, at some point the MV is going to come out so don't put it off lmao.  I'm more concerned about the lyrics.  How do you sing about being China's sheep without it being horribly hilarious?  Idk bout you Lay.

My favorite though is when they act like they have some clout.  Dude, SM cares about you way less than you think, in fact less than that even.  Western ifans are not a big chunk of their revenue.  It's also funny bc the place where I'm waiting for the shitstorm to erupt has previously excessively stanned Lay and Kai and acted like the other members are mostly trash, but both Kai and Lay have done the exact same thing, which somehow makes it even more hilarious Idek lol.
