What’s hurting me right now about watching old videos of BTS is remembering them being asked about ARMYs moving on or not listening to them as much as they once did. And their response was that they’d always be there when they come back.

I watched Life Goes On for the first time and I watched it through teary eyes, remembering their response. I used to think that I’d always keep with them (when they were active), but life happened. BS&T was my first comeback and seeing their path blossom through the years after, I’m always going to feel so proud of them. No matter where I’m at in life.

[KOR/ENG LYRICS] Life Goes On by Agust D

어떠한 이유로 우리가 For some reason

멀어져 버리게 되었지 We’ve drifted apart

하지만 우리 우리 우리는 But we, we, we

원망하지 않기로 해 Decided not to blame each other

그 무엇도 우리 사이를 We said that

떼어낼 수 없다 했는데 Nothing could ever tear us apart

자꾸만 두려워져가 But I keep becoming afraid

영영 멀어질까 봐 That we’ll keep growing apart forever

이 음악을 빌려 너에게 나 전할게 I’ll take this music as a chance to share myself with you

사람들은 말해 세상이 다 변했대 Everyone says the world has changed

다행히도 우리 사이는 아직 여태 안 변했네 Thankfully, things between us still haven’t changed yet*

우리 인사하자 bye 아닌 hello Let’s greet each other not with ‘bye’ but ‘hello’*²

세상이 내 뜻대로 안된다 해도 Even if the world doesn’t go my way

우리 바람대로 며칠 밤만 세고 Never forget, if we just wait a few more nights

다시 만날 날을 너는 절대 잊지 마 We’ll meet again, just like we hoped*³

시간은 흘러가고 Time flows on

누군가는 잊혀가겠지 Some will be forgotten

그저 하고픈 대로 Just how they wanted

시간은 마치 파도 Time is like a wave

썰물처럼 밀려가겠지 It’ll be washed away like the tide

그래도 잊지 말고 나를 찾아줘 But don’t forget, come find me

모두가 멈춰버려진 이 순간 This moment when everything has stopped

오늘따라 멀어 보이는 현관 The door that looks especially far away today

Life goes on

Life goes on

Life goes on

Life goes on

모두가 떨어져 버린 이 순간 This moment when everything has fallen apart

어제보다 멀어지는 우리 사이 We’re farther apart than we were yesterday

Life goes on

Life goes on

Life goes on

Life goes on

10년간 내가 지나간 자리 This place I’ve passed through for 10 years

무수히 많은 상처와 영광까지 With so many wounds and so much glory

지나보니 추억의 한순간 매 순간을 마지막처럼 달려왔지만 난 아직도 겁이 나 Looking back, every memory, every moment, I ran like it was the last but I’m still afraid

I know I know 지금 이 자린 I know I know right now, right here

금세 추억이 되어 버릴 자리 This place will soon become a memory

두려워하지 마 내 인생의 마지막까진 끊임없이 삶은 계속될 테니까 Don’t be afraid, because life will go on endlessly until the end of my life

시간은 흘러가고 Time flows on

누군가는 잊혀가겠지 Some will be forgotten

그저 하고픈 대로 Just how they wanted

시간은 마치 파도 Time is like a wave

썰물처럼 밀려가겠지 It’ll be washed away like the tide

그래도 잊지 말고 나를 찾아줘 But don’t forget, come find me

모두가 멈춰버려진 이 순간 This moment when everything has stopped

오늘따라 멀어 보이는 현관 The door that looks especially far away today

Life goes on

Life goes on

Life goes on

Life goes on

모두가 떨어져 버린 이 순간 This moment when everything has fallen apart

어제보다 멀어지는 우리 사이 We’re farther apart than we were yesterday

Life goes on

Life goes on

Life goes on

Life goes on

Translators’ Notes:

*The same lyrics as Suga’s verse in BTS’ ‘Life Goes On’.

2. The words ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ in Korean are both said as ‘annyeong/안녕’. This is also possibly connected to J-Hope’s verse in BTS’ ‘Life Goes On’ where he sings “The word ‘annyeong’ with which we start and end the days”.

3. This is possibly a callback to the lyrics “If you just stay up a few more nights I’ll come meet you, I’ll come meet you” from BTS’ ‘Spring Day’.

It’s the second month of 2024 and I’m revisiting my journey with BTS. Oof, the memories.🥺

I just came back on to say that I absolutely love seeing Pedro Pascal going viral on tik tok, again. My boy’s dominating the start of 2023 with The Last Of Us and soon, The Mandalorian for season 3.

Currently rewatching the Wednesday Addams series on Netflix.

1 - I fully enjoy this series. It doesn’t lag, doesn’t have a slow burn to get to the plot. It feels more like an ongoing action movie, and

2 - I really love that we’ve slowly watched Wednesday grow up. From 6 years old in the 1964 series, to 11-13 in the 90’s films, and now to 16ish in the 2022 series. Even if each Wednesday has the same traits overall, each era shows the typical traits in that age. I think that’s why I don’t mind the “Wednesday vs her mom” theme. Even Morticia hinted at it in the first episode: “I’m told girls your age say hurtful things, and I shouldn’t take it to heart.”

Shout out to Jenna Ortega for bringing Wednesday Addams to life and playing her well. Wednesday will forever be my girl.

I chose Team Edward because he gave Bella the choice rather than Jacob who kept pressuring, guilt-tripping, and pretty much tried to force her to pick him. And then I saw the tik tok videos and

Aunties, can you please explain the whole GameStop stock debacle in normal-people terms?

Bahahaha! I’m fucking STOKED you asked. This is the kind of absurdity that I live for, cry over, and reinforces my belief that MONEY IS FAKE. Ok here goes...

First a definition: What does it mean to “short a stock”? Shorting or even short-selling stocks is when you borrow shares in a company then immediately re-sell them in the hopes that you can buy them back later at a lower price. You then return the shares to the original lender they were borrowed from and pocket the difference. It is a STUPIDLY RISKY way of making money on the stock market, and has traditionally only been used by Wall Street Evil Knievels and people so hopped up on cocaine they thought the housing collapse of 2008 would be a great fucking idea. None of you should try shorting stocks. Buy stocks, invest for the long term, and go about your business. 

Mmkay, so with that out of the way, let’s talk about what’s going on with GameStop. 

Hedge fund managers (people who run big conglomerations of investors and investments) are betting on GameStop to fail, business-wise. They think the stock is crashing and that the company is in trouble. Why? Not important for the purposes of this explanation. They have just made certain projections that show GameStop is failing on the investment front. So the hedge fund managers want to capitalize on this failure (read: get rich off of GameStop’s demise) by shorting GameStop stock. With me so far?

This is all business as usual for the world of high stakes investing. But heeeeeere’s where it gets interesting. There’s a Reddit forum called /r/WallStreetBets. Their whole thing is sharing stock tips and hot investments. It’s for people who know the stock market well enough to literally play with it on a small scale. They found out about the plan to short GameStop stock. And they took evasive maneuvers. 

Suddenly, members of this Reddit started buying up GameStop stock en masse. These purchases drove the price of the stock way up (that’s how the stock market works) AND it prevented the stock shorters from fulfilling their scheme AND it forced them to lose a ton of money. For example, the professional hedge fund managers lost $1.6 billion in a single day last week. By contrast? One of the WallStreetBets dudes turned $50,000 into $11 million.

But what does any of this literally have to do with GameStop? ALMOST NOTHING. The company itself is not doing anything any different. Its value and stock prices are soaring not because of anything GameStop has done to improve itself... only because people who play with money are artificially inflating its value through this weird war.

In my opinion, the heroes here are WallStreetBets. They are demonstrating, in real time, how fucking arbitrary the value of something can be. They are calling Wall Street’s bluff and fucking with the people who--FOR A LIVING--just regularly decide to drive an individual company out of business and its employees out of jobs. 

Whatever your thoughts on GameStop as a company, this is an abject lesson in how capitalism is not some hallowed law of the universe, but an arbitrary system we made up. That system can be hacked. It can be broken. And it can be fun!

Anyway, hope that helps. This is as close to a simple explanation as I could get, and a LOT of nuance is missing so please don’t @ me. If you want a way more in-depth read that’s still simple enough for those who don’t know shit about investing, I got my information from Vox. And if you enjoyed this explanation, maybe read these ones too:

and he’s left with Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan trains Anakin at first out of a promise he makes to Qui-Gon, not because he cares about him. When they find Anakin on Tatooine, he says, “I feel like we’ve found another useless lifeform.” He’s comparing Anakin to Jar Jar. And he’s saying, “This is a waste of time. Why are we doing this? Why do you see importance in these creature like Jar Jar Binks and this 10 year old boy? This is useless.” So he’s a brother to Anakin, eventually, but he’s not a father figure. That’s a failing for Anakin. He doesn’t have the family that he needs.He loses his mother in the next film. He fails on this promise he made, “Mother, I will come back and save you.” So he left completely vulnerable. And Star Wars ultimately is about family. So that moment in that movie which a lot of people diminish as, “Oh, this is a cool lightsaber fight.” But it’s everything that the entire three films of the prequels hangs on, is that one particular fight. And Maul serves his purpose, and at that point, died before George made me bring him back. But he died, showing you how the Emperor is completely self-serving. He doesn’t care, he’s using people and now he’s gonna use this child.

This is where I sincerely respected Dave Filoni. He gets it.

“My panic is rising again. My sense of isolation and worthlessness. And no other senses worth mentioning apparently. It’s not nice being inside my head. It’s a nice place to visit but I don’t want to live here. It’s too crowded; too many traps and pitfalls. I’m tired of it. That same old person, day in and day out. I’d like to try something else. I tried to neaten my mind, file everything away into tidy little thoughts, but it only got more and more cluttered. My mind has a mind of its own. I try to define my limits by seeing just how far I can go, and I find that I passed them weeks ago. And I’ve got to find my way back.” -  Carrie Fisher

Kathleen Kennedy: Every one of these movies is a particularly hard nut to crack. There’s no source material. We don’t have comic books. We don’t have 800-page novels.

Me and every other Star Wars fan: Uuuuuuuummmmmm....

If we ignore all these, several others, and a well thought out universe that was developed over forty-years.

[ohitsjustcorina]

Clicking on the accs and reading the bios clarifies the confusion on some disagreements I see in the comments. I keep forgetting that not every fan of the Mandalorian is familiar or even a Star Wars fan. My bad lmao.
