I Learned Of Shi Pei Pu, A Chinese Opera Singer Turned Spy Who Obtained Secrets From A French Embassy

“I hope i ruined your day.”

They did it, they fucking did it.

“jk rowling is at it again”

“love you baby boy…. what the hell?”

I'm back! It's 3 am for me but still have questions to ask? What do you think the kpop industry should have done better?

I think labels need to focus on idols’ mental health. Some of these kids start SO young. (Don’t quote me on these numbers but) Sehun got street-cast at 13. Hyuna and Taemin debuted at 14. Samuel was training with Seventeen when he was 11. You wonder why Jun almost threw a chair at that pretty girl on that one variety show? They have no idea how to interact with the other sex because they spend their formative years and adolescence training 24/7 with their members. They develop anxiety. They develop depression. They develop eating disorders. They starve themselves. Yixing practiced with weights tied to his hips to get better. EXID lied to their families and didn’t come home for the holidays to try and convince them that they were more successful than they were. These kids struggle SO MUCH for so many years and in some cases (Yixing, Lisa, Amber), these kids show up and can barely speak the language. Then you have idols who speak out about mental illness and struggles like Taeyeon and Yoongi and Jonghyun and KNetz ridicule them and call them weak and call them headcases. These labels have to do more to protect rookies and help keep them strong and healthy so that they don’t snap or buckle under the pressure. You take these kids from their families during the most difficult years of their life, stick them in a dorm with 15 other scared kids, make them work 20 hours a day and with no guarantee of success. It’s SO much pressure and it results in very unhealthy habits. There’s idols I genuinely worry about and after Jonghyun, I know that worry is warranted. Showbiz is notorious for impossibly high standards and I get that but the thing about K-Pop is that it starts SO YOUNG and it’s so much more dangerous when this mindset is being forced into the extremely susceptible brains of 15-year-old kids who are away from home for the first time.

Went a little overboard with this but hey. hey. emperors. zombie dragons.

Because my heart dances for anything evil, dark and just generally broken. And I’d like to believe they not only have multiple heads, but wings, arms, or tails too and their bodies are a mess of dislocated bones, ripped skin and dirt when the dead bodies fused together and the sounds they make are gross bubbly gurgles because their throats just aren’t the same anymore.

zombie dragons man. 

Finally listened to all music! My favorite song was an untitled file called “ssssddsdrt66677888.ogg” that I found on a flash drive that I found in a landfill in Tunisia
