  1. I promised myself I wasn't going to watch another series of Pd101 because it's too painful but here I am.

     

    I'm really liking the show so far and the skill level of all the girls is way better than I was expecting.

     

    My current faves are Wang Ting, Gao Yingxi, Wu Qianying, Yamy, Fu Jing, Winnie and Lucia plus my Wjsn girlie's.

  2. My Loona resolutions are pretty conservative because groups rarely shoot to stardom right out of the gate but what I hope for them is:

     

    1) Girls 11 and 12 debut with awesome songs and are welcomed happily into the loona family.

    2) Heejin and Hyunjin achieve what they want to in Mixnine and are happy whether they debut in the final group or not.

    3) Mixnine helps to boost their domestic fandom so the girls feel supported and loved.

    4) Their debut song is fun and quirky and they have fun performing.

    5) Their debut album sells in the 5-10k range or higher.

    6) They get to appear on some variety shows.

    7) BBC produces a Loona dorm reality show.

    8) BBC explains the lore.

    9) The girls and staff continue to be healthy and content.

    10) They receive at least one nomination for a Rookie award.

    11) They get to attend an end of year awards ceremony.

    12) We get a cool fandom name.

  3. 'A new Eden Yves made' I'm beginning to think I'm right and the use of the masculine Yves really is to evoke a mixture of Adam and Eve- an Eve who is both masculine and feminine though mostly the second (from all of the creativity and awareness Blockberry have always shown I have a very hard time believing that they didn't know Yves was a masculine name) Blockberry are positioning their Yves as the creator of Eden bypassing the man the original Eve was formed from. In the bible Eve was created from Adam's rib-a secondary derivative of him- but Blockberry's Yves appropriates the masculine to become the first and only; an Eve in possession of ultimate power over her surroundings, and freedom from definition only in comparison to Adam i.e: Adam and Eve. Yves stands on her own. Blockberry thus seems to rewrite the creation of Eden as a moment of female ingenuity instead of as a moment of feminine blame. They also open the door for a world that was created from the ground up by women and women only; Loona's Loonaverse.


    Honestly, I could take this far further and say that this combined with the use of Chaotic (originally 8x8x8's debut track) as a Loona BSIDE is all about saying that Girl Groups (and Loona) in particular can be better than any boy group, or at least should be able to stand on their own without negitive comparisons, because they can take anything a man can do and do it better.


    Yves doesn't need an Adam because she has more power on her own.

  4. Ok now that I've thought about it it could still make sense for Twice cover Ha Sooyoung to be our Yves if she was an unsigned trainee for Loonation.

     

    I've always had my doubts that all 50 trainees involved with Loonation would be signed BBC trainees simply because that's a ridiculous amount of trainees to take on at a time. It would be much more logical that those 50 girls were either Polaris trainees, independent trainees they collected at audition without signing or academy students. 

     

    Sooyoung could have been simultaneously training at Dpop and auditioning through Loonation. The congratulations message posted by the academy would have therefore been when she was confirmed as a Loona member (or just after). This accounts for the overlap in timing. Her academy then said she had been signed to Polaris simply because BBC would be too much of a giveaway.

  5. I missed the stream yesterday because I was trying to spot Loona in Mixnine's showcase, does anyone know if there is an upload anywhere since I can't find one and it hasn't been reuploaded on vapp. I only got to see Good Day, Ace and Hyunjoo yesterday and there were so many other auditions I was looking forward to.

  6. Episode 24 spoilers ahead:

     

    So that was kind of disappointing? Leaving all of the hanging plot points to an 'oh and by the way section' at the end? Was that really the best they could think of?

     

    I mean I did like the fact barely anyone attended their concert, that was completely realistic considering the amount of controversy surrounding them. However while the slippery stage= instant popularity did work somewhat for gfriend, why couldn't we have seen that happening in the episode instead of seeing a perfectly clean stage and being told 'oh and we became famous' right at the end.

     

    Also why was the Kang/Suah/Suji controversy resolved in one sentence?

     

    Honestly I think they needed another episode to really resolve all of this nicely because it was a shame for such a brilliant drama to end like this :(

  7. I started watching this morning finally and holy hell am I impressed. I'm at episode 9 at the moment and I'm still in awe of how well this drama is tackling serious topics. That was definitely not something I expected going in to it. I've also got to give cred to all of the main cast for their fantastic acting. I wasn't sure what to expect of them since they were selected by SNS but they're all so good. There's none of the overacting I've seen on other idol dramas and the emotions of the characters are displayed so well through the girls body language. That kind of subtlety, where expression is allowed to tell the story more than speech is rare. I also really appreciate how real all of the girls feel, the script has allowed them to be bitchy and selfish and complex and yet still sympathetic, these are characteristics the public rarely allows idols to show.

  8. I did a little research on the constellation theory (and by a little I mean I looked up every known constellation one by one to find one that looked similar) and found Grus to be the most similar:

    If it is actually a reference to Grus her animal would be a Crane but I couldn't find a constellation match exact enough for me to put much faith in the theory.
