major league hockey fan watching ilya kiss shane’s helmet at the 2017 all star game and posting “god had to put ilya rozanov and shane hollander on rival teams because otherwise they’d be having so much gay sex they wouldn’t have time for hockey” and then a few years later reblogging themselves like “WELL”

CUT THAT OUT DAMNIT

Wait, so now he's throwing chocolate POTTERY?

Like, yeah, okay, we know he can make fruit out of pastry and chocolate. We know about the woodworking. Whatever the magic he has with making living creatures and actual pools of water out of chocolate end up being.

BUT POTTERY?!

I rhink we should all just be greatful he works with choclate and not like, making Biogenic weapons from Star Trek real

"heatred rivalry is too tropey" straight people have NO LESS than THREE separate television networks dedicated to pumping out 500 made for TV movies a year based on the same 5 plotlines and character archetypes ran through a random number generator that will then constantly play on a marathon loop ad nauseam for years and years to come. i have had to sit through the same hallmark movie under different titles for years at my mother's house every christmas and NONE of them had t.A.T.u in them so SIT the FUCK down and eat your FOOD

Seonghwa went live on TokToq yet again - this time right after the Golden Disc Awards, so here's an (actually) quick recap of what he talked about:

  • He came live to thank Atiny for making it possible for them to win one of the Best Album awards (there were three in total, I believe).
  • As award season is now over, he feels there were good and slightly disappointing parts to it.
It feels like we worked really hard, but there are always some regrets left when it comes to the stage. And I think that's why we can create even better stages.
  • His legs were hurting from wearing dress shoes for so long.
  • He heard it was snowing in South Korea again, so he was sad that he missed it yet again (good thing it snowed again after he got back, so he finally got to see his first snow of the season!)
  • Another thanks then went out from him to all Atiny who cheered them on from afar but couldn't be at the venue.
  • He tried to film a real that day, but couldn't get it right, so it was a fail in his eyes.
  • Now here is some rock-hard hair ASMR for y'all:
  • Getting all the hairspray out takes about three washes.
  • He then started getting a bit antsy and said he would only stay for about four more minutes before he shared this in response to concerned Atiny in the chat:
Actually, that's true too... My... I... But people who've known me for a long time can tell something's up just by looking at me, my expressions, my mood, little things like that. So even the members notice when something's up. And my hometown friends too. If they look at me, they can tell "ah, something's going on with him". So how would Atiny not notice too? People who've known me for a long time can see it easily.
  • When he meets new people, he thinks they might believe he doesn't show much emotion.
  • According to him, his face is more expressive when he's comfortable with someone or up on stage, but in daily life, he's not so sure.
  • He then began to have issues with the WiFi and not even data would work properly.
  • He kept trying for a while before he apologized and said it was time to say goodbye and goodnight.

Side-note: In case you're worried about Seonghwa now because of this Live, please keep in mind that this was the end of a taxing day for him, so he might have just been feeling drained and a bit off, perhaps even a little sad. But people's mental/emotional state is strongly linked to the nervous system, so someone could even feel like total and absolute shit in the evening or at night and then wake up happy the next day - human brains and bodies are just whack like that.

Also keep in mind that the universe is always watching out for Seonghwa so, just like he met DPR Ian last time he was really down on Live, this time he got to experience his first snow as soon as he came back to South Korea~

(Pro-tip from personal experience since we're on the topic of mental health: If you personally are someone who's struggling with depression or you know someone who is, keep in mind that it'll always hit hardest at night because of the lack of distractions/rumination/loneliness, so just try to make it through till sunrise and continuing to exist might already start getting a little bit easier. Take care of yourselves and your loved ones - the world needs good people now more than ever! ♥)
