Beautiful Loser

I don't think she'd shoot a video to reveal she's pregnant, that just seems so unlike her to do. She values her privacy a lot after all.

Maybe she’ll write more lullabies like Cherry Blossom?

Ok, I hate it when people blurt out “iS sHe pRegNanT??!” for no reason at all, but I gotta admit, I’m one of them now. I just... can’t not imagine it by looking at this picture. o__o And if she really is (but she probably isn’t), maybe that’s the reason why she keeps mentioning him and now even posting a picture of them together.

Exciting!! I hope it turns out good!

Um, when? Terrence: banned for not checking out my blog with song recommendations when you asked for new music to play

Banned for missing a T in your username

Gonna have this as any lullaby tonight <3

Lana with long hair - I prefer her Shades of Cool/West Coast length. Scented candles or normal candles?

Hmm, earlier today, almost 11-12 hours ago if Christmas cards count as letters? When was the last time you watered a plant?

Banned because you’re absolutely right. I’ve been meaning to change it, I just... don’t have a nice winter picture lol

Banned for making stick figures

For over 60 minutes and counting, help

Banned for not supporting Yosemite

Yep! A few, I think. Do you own a yo-yo?

Banned for having a really nice profile pic

I completely agree with you.

I can't stop staring at Lana's hair, it's so perfect

I kinda think k-pop (and possible j-pop, at least in the 00's) is on another level though. Companies recruit children and young teenagers early, make them trainees and gives them a schedule to practice all day and have language classes - it's basically the norm to sleep late at night/after midnight and wake up early the next morning - and make them go on diets to control their weights. I don't think that's normal and a child shouldn't have to go through so much pressure. Many rarely get to see their families either. And if they don't debut as a singer or entertainer (idol), at least I would've wonderd what it was all for. Several years of your childhood gone like that. And if you do get to debut, you're not even allowed to date a person you like. Luckily, HyunA said fuck that and left her company (or maybe they fired her first - it's a bit unclear in my memory) with her boyfriend and they seem to be really happy. And now they're signed under another label. It's just really shitty that her old label ditched her as if she meant nothing to them. And, as you can guess, I'm still furious how YG Ent. just ended 2NE1 without letting them know. If you've paid any attention to the girls, you can tell that they all have been deeply hurt by the company's actions. (or if you haven't just check the titles to CL's new songs posted above)

(I can't click on the quote buttons? Hmm.) That's because the k-pop thread is dead, even I don't bother commenting in it because I feel like no one really cares. And I guess I don't care much either because I'm only a fan of a few groups and solo artists. I hate the k-pop industry too - and they internet trolls are allowed to cyber bully celebs (women in particular) how much they want, until the celebs drop dead. But I will still support the artists I like, they're human too with a dream to perform and make other people happy with their music. They're (mostly) not shitty, the industry is. I didn't stream 2NE1's songs on Spotify for a long time because the money would probably go to their old label since half of the group left after some time (and now, only Dara is left to my knowledge - I hope she leaves YG too). But, than again, YG Ent. is one of few labels who gives their artists quite a lot of the sales to their artists. Most other labels keep the money to theirselves. I also like to think that YG let their artists rest in between comebacks (which I don't really have any proof of than that it takes some time for them to do comebacks). I know there are labels who makes their artists travel across the country and perform at three festivals in the same day etc. It's not healthy, and neither is the hush-hush culture of mental illness and depression in the industry. TL;DR: Yes, the k-pop industry is trash and a lot of things need to change drastically.

(As a fan of all the members of 2NE1, I'd rather see a thread dedicated to them all but) I'M SO PROUD OF MY GIRLS THIS YEAR AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

I think they’ve been for sale since the album release (or possibly a week after the release). They’re UK only, but if you know someone here who could order one for you and then send it for you, you could get it too.

Ok, radio’s playing Blinding Lights now too.

Final Fantasy, Pokémon, Dragon Quest, Ni no Kuni, maybe even Fire Emblem. You can look them up a bit closer and then decide.

When I think about it, the staff kinda represent how this era was pre album release quite well.
