THEM GIVING CICERO THE BUSINESS PITCH LIKE PROFESSIONALS WHILE THE ALARM GOES OFF IN THE BACKGROUND i'm sobbing

"he's not our uncle" "well richie's not your cousin" "HEARD AND RESENTED" this scene is amazing

"i don't mind it" oh carmy. that's not great.

um. cicero's looking between syd and carm as they argue about carmy getting vs retaining the star? no reason for that cut, the scene would linger on carm and syd arguing since they're the speakers, but it chooses to go to cicero watching them with that look on his face? yeah there's no reason for that apart from, well the obvious reason. adding cicero to the They've Been Knowing club with tina and 80% of the viewers of this show

carmy putting the whole land/restaurant/everything up as collateral -- not only is it their only choice, let's be real, but also it sets up an interesting dichotomy -- while carmy doesn't wanna lose, would it lead to his happiness? i'm still feeling that 1) they'll succeed by the skin of their teeth and 2) carmy will end up stepping away after creating a Good Spot to work and eat at

gosh the sydcarmy banter is so GOOD this episode. sure hope no incel stalker chick comes by to ruin that or anything, that would be a damn shame

"you want a star, yeah?" "i think it'd be nice" "godspeed" yeah i think that's where it's gonna go. this is carmy's namesake, but it's syd's ship to helm ultimately, and it's her that's gonna get the star (with help from the crew of course!)

"TREMENDOUS" "thank you" the sarcastic tremendous?? after it's the word he used to describe her dish in s1 and that they flirted over?? this is flirting right now thank you i am Flapping My Hands in glee

I CALLED IT WITH TINA!!! AND SHE'S SO HAPPY IT'S SO CUTE!!! carmy talking about finding people eager to learn and syd immediately thinks of tina, it's wonderful

calling it now, the people who are gonna become Bedrocks of the restaurant (with carmy/syd leading of course and nat on project management) are Tina as the new sous, Marcus finally fulfilling that copehagen storyline and really diving into patisserie, and...i'm gonna say Richie -- giving him purpose, they mention that he doesn't have his food handler's license as foreshadowing, and he's gonna use his natural charisma and knowledge of people/the area to good use. def front of the house for him. also balances the giant personality (carmy/syd) in the back of the house

eff it i'd love for pete to get involved too, he's gotta have a marketable skill. handling Difficult People in the restaurant? or oh my land, helping out in HR. if he can deal with the berzattos he can do HR

bring back louie i miss him. he can get suspended again as a treat

#the bear #liveblogging #syd x carmy #2X01 #yeah i'm taggying sydcarmy this is a huge ep for them #just blowin smoke but i hope i'm in the Vicinity of sense

I can't figure out if it's my imagination, but the map area for Saradush seems much more high-def than anywhere we've been previously.

We appear to be inside the city that was under siege in the cutscene, where a bunch of people we don't know are arguing about something.

I'ma be real, ma'am, I think they're kind of busy at the moment.

OK, so I assume Gromnir il-Khan is the leader of this city, and his subjects are having their needs ignored. Not clear on whether this is a new development or they decided this was the most appropriate time for a grievance committee. Either way, this is not a productive conversation.

Luckily, guess who should fizzle into existence directly behind them but Caden of Candlekeep (and company).

(The fact that suddenly there are tons of children of Bhaal in this expansion and everyone knows who they are is really grinding my gears. >.< )

Well, it's pretty clear who we are supposed to dislike in this scenario.

We beat their butts, although more from self-defense than anything else, because Caden is pretty baffled about what they've just walked into.

I was literally about to type this and then I realized it was one of the dialogue options.

Caden has a bad history with strangers who know his name out of nowhere.

Ah, Caden's inappropriate sass under stress. :P I missed it while he had lost his soul.

Poor boy is so tired.

So...[scribbles notes] let me get this straight. You created a whole sanctuary city full of children of the God of Murder. And then you are surprised when one of them - the one given the most power - went mad and started to...murder.

Am I getting this correct?

Caden is, nevertheless, willing to help because he is a good boy, plus he really doesn't feel like he has any choice anymore.

Caden does not have tremendous charisma skills, but he is earnest and good and very, very tired of killing.

Exposition time!

>:|

...and then she peaced out and left us standing there on the walkway.

Caden does NOT like it here.

#bjk plays baldur's gate 2 #caden of candlekeep #so much exposition!

Watched TREASURE's 1st Private stage on Saturday so here's a way too long post about it! 😅

I have to admit I had mixed feelings before the livestream started... On the one hand I thought the music would be too loud and we wouldn't be able to hear the boys sing. On the other hand I thought, maybe we would hear them clearly but they wouldn't live up to my expectations...

YG artists raised my standards to an impossible level and I was scared they wouldn't be able to meet them. Except for YGTB, we haven't really heard Treasure's clear live vocals before. Music shows and Award shows always have such a loud backtrack, so I was a bit worried 😶 But honestly? I really shoudn't have been. They sounded great and way better than I dared to hope 💙

Breaking down each member their performance!

Hyunsuk: King of hyping up the crowd!! 👑 It honestly broke my heart that all teume could do was clap, because they weren't allowed to cheer 😭 Really hoping the spoiler at the end meant that they will have an actual concert soon so that Hyunsuk can hear Teume scream. He had many iconic lines in this though!! Some of my favs: DROP THE BEAT!/ THIS HAS BEEN TREASURE!/ LETS GET PUMPED UP!/ 7CHILL GO!/LETS DO IT NOW!

Jihoon: His voice is so sweet!! Jihoon's high notes are to die for srsly 🥰 Also his perfect MC skills! The boys were all nervous during the talking parts of the show but Jihoon saved us from awkward silences with his quick wit and humour! Fav moments: Jihoon thinking they had to translate 'I Love You' instead of 'Hello' and him saying 'Aishiteru' so he had to do aegyo for the audience 🙈 He looked ready to kill the members who suggested it haha + Jihoon and Haruto's conversation during 'Letters from the future'

Jihoon: It's now 7 years later... I heard your collaberation song with Travis Scott. It sounds great! Yeah... I collaberated with 'The Weeknd', It just came out. Listen to it and tell me what you think!

Haruto: *Dying of laughter but trying to keep it together* 😂

Yoshi: Yoshi can do no wrong in my eyes, he is always giving his all eventhough he was so nervous 😅 His mic was shaking in the beginning!! i felt so bad for him haha. Yoshi is so stable rapping while dancing though, he has all my respect! I remember dancer Jeff Avenue saying that the dance move before Yoshi's rap part in MMM Rock Version is so difficult to do well live and Yoshi absolutely nailed it!

Junkyu: He was definitely having the most fun on stage 😄 + the fancam of Junkyu being overwhelmed by Teume's surprise during 'Slowmotion' ❤ He was a bit out of breath though and didn't sound very clear :( Junkyu has been called YG's ACE during Mixnine + was the most popular contestant of YGTB + def one of the best during that era... Kind of want a solo cover from him on stage so I can hear his beautiful voice again 💙

Mashiho: Is there anything he can't do? I know this is like a running gag in the fandom but srsly why is Mashi great at everything he does?? I'm so looking forward to see him on stage more often because damn, it's just where Mashiho belongs (+ unrelated, I need YG to release 'Fantasy' 🙏)

Jaehyuk: Forever proud of Jaehyuk. Let's be real, he has the weakest vocal in Treasure and when they opened the stage with 'Going crazy', Jaehyuk kind of fucked up his line. I was worried he wouldn't be able sing well but I shouldn't have worried because the rest of the show he did great! Jaehyuk has worked so hard to be deserving of Teume's love and honestly his improvement always astounishes me 😘 The thing that makes me sad though is that Jaehyuk has a habit of looking down while performing :(

Asahi: I'll never get tired of his visual 💛 Asahi is so fucking pretty holy shit haha. I shouldn't have been surprised but he seemed a bit timid on stage. He started to relax towards the end though! I really wonder what Asahi will be like during an actual concert with more interaction from Teume... A few fav moments: Asahi and Yedam shouting eachothers name when 'Everyday' started playing + His conversation with Doyoung during 'letters from the future'.

Doyoung: You once told me you wanted a music studio in Korea, Japan and Paris. It's 10 years after our debut and you're living in Paris. I never see you anymore! Please come back to Korea

Asahi: 9 years from now right? I'll give you one of my songs

Other members: OOOOHHHHH FLEX!! 😂

Yedam: He was God Yedam as always ❤ I'll never get tired of his voice and he deserves like 10 solo albums. I was wondering if Yedamie ever gets tired of only being complemented on his voice and nothing else eventhough he's such an allrounder!! His dancing and his stage presence was top notch again 🥰

Doyoung: YG has a few artists where their actual voice sounds autotuned like Yoon and VIINI, but I think we need to add Doyoung to the list 😅 His voice isn't that strong but honestly doesn't get enough credit for being that unique vocal sound that YG loves so much. I got a newfound appreciation for his voice (it def helps that he got such large singing parts during 'Everyday'. Thank you Yedamie!)

Haruto: King of hyping up the crowd pt 2! 👑 His addlibs and deep ass voice were 💯 The best part was def Haruto shouting 'Saranghae' before Mashi's part in ILY 😄 Haruto's agressive rapping was a bit too much for BOY imo, but it was fantastic for MMM rock version! (it made me think of Jennie yelling her rap lines during concerts and I freaking love that so maybe I just have to get used to it???) But then again, people loved his part in BOY so I guess I'm wrong lol

Jeongwoo: Ugly citizen who??? Jeongwoo has grown up fine and I hope he knows that. He'll do amazing things in the future i'm sure! His voice is so beautiful and I really really want a Jeongwoo x Haruto stage again. That duo is truly unmatched in visuals and vocals! Please YG 🙏 We need to see their amazing chemistry live

Junghwan: Our maknae did it again, stealing my heart with little to no effort 😭 He oozes charisma on stage. His voice is so good aswell. If you compare his lines in 'Going Crazy' from 1.5 years ago to now the difference is wild. I love his deeper voice! I think Mashi said it best: "Our Junghwan, cool but still very cute!"

Random favourite parts of the private stage:

I love the game they played where they had to sing BOY and 'Going Crazy' with only 2 mics while still doing the choreo haha I'm sure they practiced beforehand but it was very fun and I had the biggest smile on my face 😄

Also Hyunsuk saying that they'll have a comeback before the end of the year 😭 Teume been knew that the new song will have to do with space and the moon 🌕🌙 I honestly thought it was wishful thinking before but no, Teume aren't always clowns 😂 They have literally been saying it since their debut teaser omg

+ I feel like people were so overwhelmed by the concert portion of the stage that we kind of overlooked that they gave pretty strong hints to their next comeback song being called 'Rendez-vous'????

Rendez-Vous

Truly a win for French speaking Teume

TLDR: I loved the Private Stage and I can't wait for their first actual concert 😭 Ofcourse there is room for improvement but they all did so well and I'm so proud of them 💎

#TREASURE #first private stage #i honestly liked it better than BP online concert in december but that's just because this stage had an actual audience #Loved the way it was filmed as well!#staff truly did the most #also recorded the stage eventhough they said not to #sorry not sorry #I just wanted to be able to rewatch it whenever i wanted #lastly i really hope they'll post that one picture Asahi took at MAMA
