[spoutingsofadreamer]

Random things that are random: same day that next chapter of my favorite Manga Skip Beat comes out.

[tastefullyoffensive]

[cnbkangminhyuk]

Kang Minhyuk showed his unconditional love for a deaf girl

On the 7th of June,  the  full version of  Juniel‘s MV for her tittle song “Illa Illa” <My 1st June album> has been released. She will marked her debut with a showcase that will be held today on 7th June, 2 PM  KST at D-Cube Art Center.

The MV has gained lots of attention ever since the teaser released on 1st June due to it’s cast from “My Husband Got a Family” CNBLUE Kang Minhyuk and actress Park Haseon. The drama  has been reported to spend 11th weeks atop weekly TV rating chart.

The story of “Illa Illa” MV tells about a boy (Kang Minhyuk) who fell in love with an ordinary girl (Park Haseon) who worked at a flower shop. He can’t help but watch her every time he pass by the flower shop and sometime buy a flower bouquet.

 Suddenly, for some reason he has to go abroad. Minhyuk looking at his ticket, decided to confess to the girl before he leaves.

here’s the translation:

Start from 03:09

Minhyuk : “Excuse me.. I.. tomorrow, will be going abroad.. That’s why..(scratching head) I actually really… like you.. By any chance….[the girl read MH’s lips: ‘I wonder if you like me too?’] I don’t want to leave.“

But she didn’t give response, and Minhyuk leave just like that, broken-hearted, thinking the girl doesn’t love him back.

Still confused of what Minhyuk just said, she finally realized and tried to chase after him, but she only found a painting of herself lying in front of her shop. Looking at it she knew that Minhyuklove her, but she couldn’t do anything.

Years after, the girl at the flower shop looking at the painting again and thinking about him.

Start 05:12

The girl : “That night..he just left like that.. I’ve never seen him again.. (flashback to the day after Minhyuk left) Even now I still, couldn’t say,, (using sign language)

Me too… to you.. love you… (I love you too)”

Eventually, the reason why she didn’t gave response that day wasn’t because she didn’t love him, but she couldn’t figured (faster) what Minhyuk  said because she’s mute (deaf). It’s sad knowing that both love each other, but just can’t be together.

“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

[onewordtest]

“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement. 

[joehywheelah]

“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”

[tenoko1]

“True.” She glanced at the others. “You can also end with a period if you include an action between two separate statements.”

[cj-amused]

Things I didn’t know

[prismatic-bell]

“And–” she waved a pen as though to underline her statement–“if you’re interrupting a sentence with an action, you need to type two hyphens to make an en-dash.”

You guys have no idea how many students in my advanced fiction workshop didn’t know any of this when writing their stories.

Red delicious apples being named ‘delicious’ is one of the biggest deceptions of the human race.

[sapphicphoenix]

Omg I hit the reblog button so fast

[outrunmyself]

i feel this on a spiritual level.

[generalwow]

They were, at one time, delicious, but some fuck-up, let’s call him George, came along.

George decided the red delicious apples weren’t “red” enough, so he started to breed them so they became more red; however, as he did that, the delicious flavor was also bred out, but everyone thought they were better because they had a more consistent color.

They used to be delicious but not red, and now they are red but not delicious.

[margueriteaimee-deactivated2019]

🤔🤔 I had a feeling they used to taste a lot better than they do now. Stupid humans screwing with everything

[ibilateral-deactivated20210928]

Why is my name always used for bad shit :(

Granny Smiths are good for pies and nothing else. I like the classic macintosh to eat, but if I can get winecrisp I am golden (delicious)

[live-and-let-bi]

You haven’t had apples till you’ve had ambrosia apples

[cryptiddies]

All of y'all can eat my ass. Granny Smiths are the best and have the perfect amount of tang. Macintosh aren’t as good a substitute.

Asking for Help on Cosplay: A How To

This is the second part in our “planning your cosplay” series! I have a few more ideas for these that I’ll type up if people want more. :) 

We receive a lot of cosplay help asks - way more than we can legitimately answer - and we have friends who also receive asks about how they made certain cosplays, etc. Sometimes, these asks come across as rude, entitled, or kind of ridiculous, and receiving asks like this can discourage some cosplayers from being open about their crafting methods. 

These are just some hints for beginners on how to A) get your asks answered and B) be respectful!  Tip 1:  Cosplayers are not REQUIRED to share their knowledge with you. 

The community has become a lot more open about how to make things and that is WONDERFUL!! So many cosplayers are sharing tutorials and tips with each other!  However, that does not mean that everyone has to give away every method that they use to anyone that asks. We, personally,  are very open about our craftsmanship - However, we usually don’t reveal how we make certain costumes until AFTER we wear them for the first time.:)  A lot of skills or unique cosplay techniques are the result of a lot of trial and error on the cosplayers’ parts and it’s understandable if they don’t want to throw all that hard work out to everyone who asks. NOT SHARING HOW SOMEONE MADE THEIR COSPLAY DOES NOT MAKE ANYONE A BAD PERSON. 

Tip 2: Do your own research first! 

A good number of the asks we get are things that are available in a simple google search. “How do I make a circle skirt?” “How do I make pants?” “What fabric is a petticoat made out of?” “Where can I buy colored contacts?” All of this information has been compiled before and is super easy to find. We always try to help, but it can get frustrating getting the same questions (that are easy  to answer on your own) over and over. I personally am always more sympathetic to asks that are more like “I’ve been looking up different types of skirts, but I’m not sure whether a circle skirt or an a-line skirt will work better for this costume *picture*” 

Questions that are harder to look up (What fabric would work best for this, what is a pleat like this called, etc) are much easier for cosplayers to answer! We want to help you by sharing our knowledge, not by teaching you how to google! :) 

It’s even better to get a question from a cosplayer who has already tried something and found out it didn’t work. For example, “I am trying to make my sword prop out of paper mache, but it doesn’t look very smooth - what am I doing wrong? I have tried This, This, and This so far.” This shows that 1) the cosplayer is  invested in the project and 2) they aren’t using me as google, they are looking for mentorship. (Shameless plug: Hopefully I’ll get a tutorial for my paper mache method up soon! I just need to decide which prop to work on to take pictures/video :) ) 

CHECK OUR OUR EARLIER POST ON HOW TO PLAN YOUR COSPLAY FOR HELP WITH THIS TIP!  Tip 3: Be Selective! 

At least 50% of the questions in our ask box right now are some variation of “How do I make X Cosplay?”, “Can you make a tutorial for X Cosplay?”, “Do you know any tutorials for X Cosplay?” 

These are SO SO SO hard to answer. Each cosplay has a lot of parts - Sewing, armor, props, wigs, makeup, etc etc. And a lot of cosplays don’t have tutorials that are named “Kamina Cosplay Tutorial” or “Rose Quartz Cosplay Tutorial.” (and if they do, you should be searching those out yourself. :) Go through our backlog of tutorials or search on tumblr or google) 

Asking for how to make an entire costume or find tutorials for an entire costume is a lot of work. We usually spend a LONG time planning our cosplays - patterns, materials, etc. This is not something you can do in a day. I have answered asks like this before and they take me HOURS to research even if I only do the “bare bones” of the cosplay. I would MUCH rather answer “How do you think I should make this weird vest” than “How do I make this whole costume.” We are not getting paid to answer your asks, so even though we WANT to help everyone, time dictates that more specific questions are much more likely to get answers. :) 

Tip 4: Be thankful!

Like I said before, cosplayers do not have to answer your asks, so if they do, please be thankful! We get a lot of anonymous questions, but I promise I have NEVER judged anyone for asking a question and I REALLY appreciate getting “oh that was my anon ask you just answered this really helped a lot thank you so much” messages! It helps to know that your answers are not just going out into the void. :) One of the reasons I haven’t been answering as many asks lately (besides being super crazy busy) is because so few people take the time to say thank you afterwards. Even just reblogging the answer with “Thank You” in the tags says a lot!! This community wants to help each other, but if you’re requesting that someone help you, you need to respect them. :) It’s also super nice to link to any cosplayer that gave you one on one help when you’re posting pictures or WIP shots of the costume! (ie: When we were working on Saber Extra, we asked the wonderful Dia for help since she had done something similar with the hoop skirt. Later, we linked her in some of the photos and WIP shots we posted with credit for the idea!) 

Tip 5: Don’t be afraid to ask! 

I know this whole post sounds a little harsh, and I don’t want to discourage anyone from asking questions! Just think them through yourself first and be polite to the cosplayers that you ask for help! It’s common courtesy. :)

<3 <3 <3 

I wish you all the best of luck on all of your cosplays!

A Beauty and the Beast AU where Belle realizing she loves Beast isn’t at some dramatic climactic event but during some randome everyday moment. Like, she’s filing her nails and just kinda glances up at him and he’s like doing something just as dull and it just kinda dawns on her that she loves him but she doesn’t voice it cause she isn’t exactly ready to confront thoes emotions and what they mean so she goes back to filing her nails but then is starts raining glitter and Beast is defying gravity in a glowing ball of light and the castle is changing back and everyone becomes human again. Then everyone is left in silent moment of shock and confusion and Belle, being completely unaware of what it takes to break the curse, is just staring around in horror while everyone freshly humanized comes running into whatever room she and Beast were in (probably the library) expecting to see something other than human Beast in a heap on the ground and Belle across the room in a chair frozen in shock and confusion and everyone just kinda looks at each other for a couple of seconds not realy sure what to say cause nobody is entirely sure what happened other than the curse was broken. Then Beast finaly gets up and looks around and realizes what this means and looks at Belle and is just like “you love me?” And Belle is just like “wat?”
