i consider the katz tocaboca live one of the more interesting ot6 lives for the pure fact they struggle to stay engaged & are so, so tired. it feels like their little -isms come out during this live a lot. there's less polish on any auto-pilot answers, or things that the Brand want them to focus on (culture and diversity. always. and they poke fun at it a lil bit in this!)
every so often i bring out the microscope slide to look at it again. like:
Sophia’s segues are … well there are none! she doesn’t bother in this one, only says the script lines as they come. 10 seconds in she goes: “why are you laughing at me!!” which reminds me, she interrupts herself to ask why the katz are laughing at her or not paying attention across other lives/interviews. i love this. it’s interesting. like aw. do ur members tease u sophia? how often? its often, isnt it? it's noted.
manon attempts to ask “which is your favorite song?” three times, with 40% intent to actually be heard, & it results in a prolonged silence, dani going “:)……..ummm….” and M&M break out into laughter (M&M laugh at each other A LOT in this one ♥️)
fun easter egg: the girls promote their favorite gabriella dance moves & manon does gameboy instead.
dani is the most on track all live. there’s really cute danchae moments here (shoutout to star 🌟) where yoonch asks if dani will bring the food she likes (y: ‘for me? 🥺’ d: ‘hmm? OH, for you. <3 Yoonchae really likes ….’). dani rolls her r’s & yoonchae hoots & hollers about it ❤️
this is my favorite, and I mean FAVORITE thing yoonchae’s said. when asked what they’d name their tocaboca district, she goes
“katseye lovers group” which changes into "katseye lovers club"
lara’s gagged. no one fucks with it. at all. yoonchae gets SO embarrassed.
this made me realize, when she gets embarrassed she commands the topic to change. “NEXT!” (she does similarly in the solarz live, & in the who said it interview).
also, yeah, meichae crumbs:
yoonchae says “sorry. sorry”, megan responds “why are you apologizing?”
megan also says “wait, you have to show me 🥺” when yoonchae talks about the new song she’s been listening to. MEICHAE PILLARS! to me! #ToMe
lara is so, so good at moving the live forward. she makes the answers and conversation feel more natural. she makes sure to bring in the other katz, responds to every little thing said off-hand or in the background. she makes everything feel lighthearted and funny. it’s just masterful. shes such a glue. i really, really love this. absolutely noted.
megan's fav emoji is the smiling devil bc it’s mischievous 😈 she identifies as Type A. she types furiously on her phone, shows lara, who tries not to laugh, & proceeds to hide meg's phone from the live. megan says she’s a wolf. THE LEADER OF THE PACK. THE ALPHA! (she concedes that the wolf is sophia, but sophia is a fluffy white cat.)
meg also says Grant/Sohey say she looks like a lemur <- ive never, ever gotten this out of my head. ive tried to shoehorn this into my fics but it's never worked. so just know: theyre RIGHT.
they spend several minutes talking about how much they LOVE spending EVERY DAY. HOUR. MINUTE. SECOND. PLACE. MOMENT. with each other. love it sooo much. (dani says, 'be serious.') they also say they’ve learned “patience” from each other 😭
they’re just so sarcastic and silly and candid. and awkward! i can’t get enough
my nothing burger of the day (NBOTD): i mourn the characterization loss from the interview where megan’s asked what her favorite hawaiian word is.
i think she straight up didnt answer. or she did n it was like … aloha & i blocked it out. megan. what’s your favorite island reggae song. it’s important.
