I get wanting an artist you like to hit big milestones, but I'm also gonna buy stuff where it's convenient for me. And I guess my main issue is ppl either being upset bc they didn't know the shop they bought from "won't count" or worse, ppl being shitty at others who bought from the "wrong" store.

Off topic for this acct, but SKZ is having a comeback, preorders started yesterday & my whole timeline right now on Twit is filled w/ppl talking about which stores report to billboard or hanteo for the purposes of charting and like, yeah charting is cool, but also this focus on numbers is 😬😬😬.

It's almost more that the 'kids' are fighting against the older generations, than really against each other.
I will say tho that voting for a gov't figure using an app like this is American idol is kinda nuts.
That's all for now.

Certainly had a much more empathetic villain origin story than most villains in recent media.
I will say tho, I think one thing I do like a lot about the series is that the other contestants aren't bad. They all want to be good rulers. They have empathy & character.

I'm now officially so torn bc Chakri did not deserve that. I have loved him since the trailer so I'm kinda pissed, but Wasin had good points & clearly trusting the other royal families to do the right thing bc it's right didn't work, so like what else can he do but bc the villain.

Catching up on #TheNextPrince ...aside from the attempted murder, I think I'm on Prince Wasin's side.

Update, I have finished Ahsoka and I thought it was very good and yes I did very when Hera and Ezra reunited.

HallieS86 (or BinnieBicepLover) @hallies86.bsky.social · Jul 20

I've fallen back into my Star Wars obsession, after Andor season 2, & so now I'm watching Ahsoka bc it needed the least prep for me to know what's happening, & I just remember a lot of ppl being mad about Hera & like...I don't know why. I like Mary Elizabeth Winstead just fine.

Like I just wonder if my expectation is too high...maybe. Idk. But I do like Sabine, Ezra, and Jacen. I think they're doing a wonderful job. Thrawn feels right and looks wrong. idk how else to explain that.

HallieS86 (or BinnieBicepLover) @hallies86.bsky.social · Jul 20

I do love Hera (Rebels is my fave Star Wars stories) and while I don't feel that she's /exactly/ like the animated version, I do think she's doing a perfectly fine job.
I do have fixed feelings on Rosario as Ahsoka, but I do wonder if that's bc of my familiarity with he character.

Okay I wasn't really down on the secondary cpl w/ the BDSM storyline, but I'm kinda seeing it now. I'm not loving how the BDSM aspect is being portrayed (tho I've seen worse) but they have convinced me of their fondness. The leader of that clan tho is an asshole. Don't like that guy.

I love Chakri so much. He's so funny, and his passionate ad reads are giving me life. I find the unsubtle-ness so funny. Like how they should go about ads in shows is gonna depend on the show, but this really works for

It didn't necessarily bother me in Cutie Pie, but it often leads to miscommunication shenanigans, & those do bother me.

HallieS86 (or BinnieBicepLover) @hallies86.bsky.social · Jun 28

And also ofc the way he 'teases' him (*wiggles eyebrows*). Especially with the Khanin being an older character (not older than Charan, but just being in his 20's) & being experienced with relationships so that dynamic is more balanced, since some other parts are unbalanced.

Back to watching more of #TheNextPrince now that the overwhelm of prepping for and attending the SKZ DC concert is over.
The ZNN dynamic here is different from Cutie Pie, but I do love the way Khanin teases Charan. His sort of zest for life giving new perspective to Charan.

I'm finally catching up on #TheNextPrince, so I'm currently on ep 3.
I am absolutely LOVING Khanin's makeup. It's very subtle and just brings out his natural beauty wonderfully. I think it complements his dyed hair really well. I always think Nunew's beautiful, but he's pulling focus even from Zee.

Still from The Next Prince episode 3 showing Nunew as Prince Khanin. His hair is dyed a strawberry blond and he's wearing a formal outfit of a white shirt with gold embroidered vest over top.

I want to like Bangkok Boy, but I'm halfway through ep 2, & so far it's just 90% child abuse and senseless death. When does it get better? 😭😭

how US schools are portrayed. Most of the ones on TV are in urban settings & low income, or in pretty high income settings, so what you miss out on is the true 'middle ground.'
& in the US in particular, the set-up of schools varies widely depending on the geography & weather of where you live.

I've asked my friend about it who is half Japanese, but she only spent one year in HS in Japan and the rest in the US. She said it feels kinda real, but in an unreal way. Like it's either overly dramaticized, or kinda cleaned up, so it reflects well. And that made sense to me looking at

You ever go on a 6 degrees of separation journey thru media? I finished up watching #Andor a 2 weeks ago, which has an actor that I recognized from #TheNightManager, so I rewatched that, remembered how brilliant Olivia Coleman is, & now I'm half an ep. away from finishing S2 of #BroadChurch.

Congratulations 🎉🎉 I hope everyone is doing well.

Boat and Oat are also doing fine, I just struggle with the premise. Maybe this is the type of storyline where my ace-ness screws with my ability to connect with the story....idk.
I'm not so bothered I won't keep watching tho, so there's that.
