ooc --  it's taken me a lot of time to think about what to write, all while hoping it wouldn’t come to this. but i don’t what to go on a hiatus and hold celebs when i don’t know how it’ll all go. this rp has always been like a second home to me when others failed. i made friends here who i adore. i remembered i may not be able to spend much more time here, after this month is up. so thank you from the bottom of my heart, for everything you've ever done for me. on any character you've spoken to. carlos v., chloe b., etc. just--thank you. i'm more than grateful. know i truly appreciate all of you, no matter if we’ve had harsh words or always been friends. you’ve all been apart of my rp journey and it’s meant a whole lot to me. ic and ooc friendships i’ll always remember.

if i have a way to be here again, you can definitely count on me coming back. however, right now there is no guarantee i’ll have one and i don’t want to hold my celebs, both while have back issues and while not knowing if i’ll have a place to stay. which is far more important, i know. but this rp gets me through terrible depression and anxiety, without it idk what i’ll do. but i’ll have to manage. i’ll miss you all and if you need anything, to talk, for now i do have internet and can be found here; https://petschofrph.tumblr.com/ or on discord; scarlet rose.#1344

You should definitely tune into the Korean version since South Korea is where the show originated from and I really only watch that one since we don’t really air the US version! The costume’s aren’t so out there like the ones on the US version, but the masks are kinda cute, and have little costumes to go along with whatever the singer’s theme is. Ryan Reynolds even showed up on the show while he was in the country promoting Deadpool 2 and sang The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow. It’s actually pretty good.

Oh my god, did it really?! That’s so wild that I didn’t know that. I’d love to see that version as well, I thought it was an original show so that surprises me. Then again it doesn’t really because nothing is original anymore, you know? It’s still really good though. That sounds so cool that he did that, I’d love to see that moment. So do US celebs go on that version a lot or just South Korean celebs? All types of celebs? I bet it’s a really cool version. If I can find it anywhere, I’ll let you know what I think of it for sure. All the music makes me happy regardless so I’ll enjoy it.

i started watching it once but I spent more time trying to figure out who the person was once they were unmasked than i did while they were anonymous. literally thought jesse mccartney was some guy that fooled around with zack and cody for an episode didn’t realise he had a full career. can you sing? have you seen the one about the dancer? the fact that no one’s broke their neck on those mascot costumes is a minor miracle. can imagine i’d fall flat on my face, bad enough without my vision impeded under a suit.

he did get messed with by zack and cody, so you did get that part right. i mean, he played videos games with zack at the end of the episode he was in with them. i remember the whole episode, oddly enough. i probably shouldn’t but i do. ashley tisdale pretended not to be in love with him while brenda song let her love scare the man half to death. it was hilarious. jesse mccartney is still awesome to me, i’m a fan. so i guessed him immediately. his voice is so unique to me, and i did the same with chris daughtry. i can sing, yeah. i play the guitar and piano as well. i’ve had albums out, and i’m working on another one but i keep putting it off. i haven’t watched the dance one, but i’ve been told it’s really good. i saw the preview where someone fell trying to do a move in the air, i was like, ‘holy shit!’ so i absolutely would not do that. i’d tell them to let me stay on the ground. i would never risk my life.

I used too, but with the kids and Supergirl shows are on the back burner now. Well new shows that is I rewatch old shows all the time. But you must just be good at it all, i cant name singers on the radio…ugh apps ever because I fail.  I think he did great for a guy that’s not a singer at all. Even know he didn’t really last that long.  If I went on would you know me? what mask would I wear? Oh come on you are not a bad dancer! But watch and get good at it, it’s a new show right? 

I always rewatch old shows, I love watching shows I’ve watched a thousand times. I feel like if I wait a little bit then rewatch then it’s like it’s brand new. I forget everything pretty much because I work so much, so I just enjoy the show all over again and refresh my memory. But if a new show is really interesting to me, I will check it out. The Masked Singer I don’t watch fully, I watch compilations on YouTube so I can appreciate the singers individually. You know? He really did, I think he could be a singer though. Simon Cowell may not think so, but he’s not the end all be all either. He believes everyone should be a Mariah Carey or something. I don’t believe that. Of course, I knew right off the bat when I heard Glee songs that it was you even before I watched Glee full out. So, I could recognize your voice for sure. Hm...maybe a type of puppy? Because puppies are awesome and the puppy could have Kara’s glasses but the outfit wouldn’t give too much away. Or maybe a rose? Something like that. I’m not an extremely magnificent dancer like...I don’t know, Harry Shum Jr. or Derek Hough. But I can bust some moves. I’ll have to see what I can do, maybe become Step Up 3 version of myself. That movie was dope.

prkhwaseong​:

Those are fun to watch. I love trying to guess who is who and hoping I’m right on some of them. That’s awesome that you have such knowledge to guess them well. We have our own show like this in South Korea and It would be nice to be on it sometime. I do too much already so adding that on might just overwhelm me, haha. I’ve watched it in my free time between different performances and filming. I’m always surprised to see who is singing.

The Masked Singer is really a cool show to watch, I’m always hoping to be asked to be on it. Or maybe even have a chance to volunteer. Though, I don’t know if I’m even popular enough to be on it because I know people know who Grant is, but they probably wouldn’t guess me at all. Really? That sounds really awesome. Maybe when your work load slows down you can guest star on the show? Do you think they’d guess you right off?

I watch and think I’m good at guessing, but I suck. I always get it so worng. But I weirdly did guess Tony Hawk right? But now they have the guess the dancer show. What about that I’m gonna do worse!

I actually got a good portion of them right, but that could mean I either watch too much television or I’m just really good at guessing because I’m really into music. Or....both. I’ll say both. Because I really do watch too much television. I did too! The elephant, that’s awesome. The one that truly had me stumped was Fox at first, I think. But I eventually got it. I don’t watch the dance version because I don’t dance very well...well, I do but not like them.

hfameroldan​:

see, even though i didn’t know his name, i knew the peacock from the first season because i said “i know that voice. what’s up, li shang!” my younger brother googled to find who did the singing voice of li shang from mulan and it was donny osmond and i was right. my brother had to buy me a pizza since we had a friendly wager going on it. i would be on that show in a heartbeat if they didn’t film during my soccer season. personally, as much as i like wayne brady, i really thought chris daughtry got robbed.

i honestly hadn’t seen that one yet, so before i read this i had to go start the video to see if i could hear it. but i was so lost by it that i couldn’t handle the mystery any longer. that’s amazing though, and jenny did guess donny too at first. so she’s right. that’s awesome. i love that she changed her answer though. pizza is always the way to go when it comes to payment, right? it’s the best. absolutely, it’d be cool to be on that show. maybe if you can pause being there you can be on the show? if only for an episode. i film 8 months out of the year so i probably wouldn’t be able to either unless i popped in then went back to vancouver but apparently it’s possible, so who knows. i agree, i love wayne brady, but chris had him beat for sure.

fameapa​:

i’ve never watched the masked singer before… oops? don’t hate me. 

oh, the betrayal. the deceit. you must be unfriended. just kidding. i could never hate you, apa. you’re the best. i miss you though. what are you doing? how’s the kiddo? how’s the wifey?

[famenatalyn]

You know what’s the most frustrating thing ever? Doing an interview and them asking the one question you’ve politely asked them not to. Like, damn. Okay then. I was chatting to a podcast about my career and about what’s next and they just had to bring my body into the conversation. I’m honestly sooo sick and tired of talking about my boobs. Why is that still a conversation topic in 2021? Like, who gives an actual fuck and moreover, who actually thinks it’s an okay thing to ask a stranger? And no, just because I wear what I like, it still doesn’t mean you can keep asking about it. Hi, I’m Natalie and this has been my TED talk/frustrated rant. Tell me, what’s the most frustrating thing people keep bringing up to you and how do you deal with it? Gimme some advice, peeps. I need it. @hfrpstarters​

[thalosc]

Why would anyone think it’s okay to ask any woman about her chest or any part of her body? Whether it’s big, small, or in the middle? It’s their body. It shouldn’t be the topic of conversation ever. That’s sick to do to a woman. That should never be the first thing a man judges about them, I get people say, ‘it’s right there of course it’s gonna be the first thing we see.’ But you don’t have to judge them on it and you definitely don’t have to talk about it. I’m really sorry that happens to you. Hello, Natalie. I’m Carlos. Honestly? People never bring up anything like this to men, it’s messed up. The most annoying thing I’ve ever gotten was about me leaving the Flash and I’ve gotten it every interview for a year. Them knowing I couldn’t answer or I already answered it. Or I got asked about ships on the show and I hate it because it causes ship wars in the fandom. I normally just laugh and ignore the question by pretending I didn’t hear it. Again, I’m sorry. If men got treated like women did more, they’d realize how bad it is.

[jcnlaws]

So, I was scrolling through - Googling random shit as one does on a night in with your wine in hand and I thought - what the fuck? Why not Google myself? Because that’s the most humble thing to do in your free time, obviously. I went to movie reviews for Red Sparrow and not even five comments in someone says, ‘not even talented. Looks like a knock off Renee Zellweger with fake tits.’ Mama, I made it! It’s probably the best hate comment I have ever come across. Don’t know if it’s the wine talking or not but may steal Kimmel’s idea for reading Mean Tweets and post it on the internet. Drunken Mean Tweets with J-Law, coming to a computer near you. Do you partake in reading mean tweets about yourself too or do you just steer clear of all that? Feel like it’s a great past time when you’re three rosé deep and your tipsy alter ego comes out to play. @hfrpstarters​

[thalosc]

Oh good lord, that’s really rude to say about someone. I mean, who’s business is it anyway if your...goodies are fake? People are too into getting in peoples business these days, good grief. I have Googled myself, actually. I went onto fan twitters to read nice things about myself and saw people had written that I should be kicked off The Flash because I’ve become useless, I’ve always been useless another one said. Stuff like that. Some directed it about me and not my character. It was really harsh stuff about how I was a terrible person and stuff involving my appearance. It was really rude stuff. But I eventually got over it, because I know my friends and family, and true fans love me on the show. I wasn’t drunk so I guess I should’ve been, it would’ve made it a lot funnier or something, right?

[hf-hyland]

So it was brought to my attention that I make the same facial expressions as my dog in pictures, and honestly I have never felt so flattered. I’m a proud mom. I taught Boo well. And that was the unnecessary fact of the day. I’m Sarah and I’m a lover of rose wine. @hfrpstarters​

[thalosc]

The pictures I have in my house of my dog and myself, we’re making the same faces as well. But he taught me my facial expressions. So we’re flipped around, right? That’s wild. My dog is tiny and adorable, so I definitely had to learn everything from him. He still does it better though. Hello, Sarah. I’m Carlos. It’s nice to meet you. I’m a lover of beer, red wine, sweet tea, etc.

[lizzieolsxn]

Besides spending my free time mastering the art of gardening and talking to my plants for them to grow stronger, I’ve recently taken up a new hobby. Well, does lurking around social media to read fans’ theories about WandaVision count as a one? If it doesn’t, we’ll pretend it is, only for the sake of feeling that I haven’t been wasting my time, too astonished by everything they come up with to think about doing anything else. I love when they talk about all the Easter eggs that were dropped in the episodes that were released, and how they’re all impatient to see what will happen in the next ones. This leads to the question that you probably knew that was coming: have you been watching WandaVision? No judgement if you haven’t, as I’m only genuinely curious here. Anyway, I’m Lizzie, for those who don’t know me - and no, I’m not revealing any spoilers about the show. I’ve already told you all the exciting things going on in my life, but what about yours? Have you taken up any new hobbies lately? Are you into garding and talking to your plants, as I am? I do, too, accept suggestions to take up any new activities, as long as they’re fun. @hfrpstarters

[thalosc]

I’m actually not into gardening, unfortunately. Only because there’s so many things that go into gardening I’ve heard. Not just watering, but other things. And I could never keep up with plants like that. I have kids and I filming pretty much every day, 8 months out of the year. So, I could never deal with plants. Some people dust theirs leaf by leaf and all that, I ain’t got time for that. But I do love plants, you know? If I had time I’d get some. I dust on weekends and make sure my place is spotless, but I don’t think plants can deal with only weekend watering and such.

[ycjis]

So I think I’ve officially learned my lesson with experimenting with new hairstyles, because the last time I did it, I got absolutely roasted for it. Like I don’t think there was a single day I had my long hair that I didn’t get some slack from the fans. I admit, it was funny, I wasn’t upset by any of it, I mean..I laughed with them. But it helped me realize..I’m never doing anything like that again. I don’t need anymore material for fans to use against me for jokes floating around on the internet because there’s already a lot. Is there any sort of look or hairstyle that you guys have had that you regret or won’t do again? Oh and before I forget, because it’s happened before, I’m Johnny. @hfrpstarters​

[thalosc]

They didn’t like you with long hair? Why does it matter if others like you with that certain hair though? I think you should have whatever hair you enjoy. If you didn’t like it, that’s a whole different thing. I didn’t like my shorter hair, actually. I really like my long hair and it’s really a cool look for me, I think. I feel like even if The Flash ends, I’ll still keep it because it does look really good and makes me feel good about myself. It’s like being in a shampoo commercial every time I get out of the shower. Is that weird? Hello, Johnny. I’m Carlos. It’s nice to meet you.

[wcltons-archived]

— so i’m gonna be honest with you. for the last eight months i’ve been slacking terribly when it comes to maintaining my fitness & eating routines. with as hectic as work had gotten at the very end i just couldn’t find the time or the energy, and after work ended i just…well i just didn’t want to go. anyways— fast forward to present time, i recently started going back so i can be in somewhat decent shape before i start work again, and i ultimately regret my decision to ever step foot into a gym. my entire body HURTS! when i laugh? it hurts. when i stand up, you guessed it…it hurts! i even sneezed and it made my eyes water it hurt so bad. currently taking applications for anyone who’s down to give me a full body massage. i’ll even pay you. i don’t care the amount. i just need to be able to walk without saying ‘oww’ every step. / @hfrpstarters​

[thalosc]

did someone already volunteer or...? because i’d give you one. was that too quick to volunteer or what? should i pretend to negotiate something with you before i say that so fast? i never know the rules of this whole situation. i just...yeah. i never exercise though, especially not in a gym because i hate the hurting afterwards. and i’m almost 32, i feel like i’d break something if i tried to be adventurous now. going to the gym is definitely in that ball park. i hike and all that, but i don’t hit up the gym. so if hiking counts as exercise then, i guess i do that but no gym action.

I blame my crazy work schedule so I was given a few days to catch up on sleep.

Oh wow, that’s good though. That they gave days to catch up on sleep, you definitely deserve it if you’ve been working crazy hours. Though, I can absolutely relate. All of mine are out of whack, honestly. We either have to film over the weekend to make up for lost time or we have to film well past midnight. So we have to nap on set sometimes, then go home once everything is finished and go to sleep for a few hours, then come back. Thankfully, they do give us days off once all the scenes are done being filmed. They’ve been really good lately with me though, since I have kids. So, I’m lucky to have a good job. And amazing friends to help watch the kids on set.
