Unmasked was definitely wacky and wild. Messy and silly af. I liked it! Made me laugh often.

I just realized it’s not on the recap list. Dx

    Did you see the drama hangout?

    How did it compare to Crash which was also billed as action comedy? I wondered if this was darker?

      I just saw it. Doesn’t seem like this drama has much interest rn. :/

      Hmm, I haven’t watched Crash so I don’t know. Being that Unmasked is on Disney+, it seems to be a little edgier. There were flashes of gross looking things, but no bloody scenes or lengthy ones. Maybe there’ll be darker moments. The humor was silly at times and other times, mocking when characters tossed barbs back and forth.

Well well well…

I’ve been hemming and hawing about my Fan Wall activity and mainly my gifs. I started thinking about where I would want to share gifs instead. Maybe Tumblr since it seems better suited for images and gifs. And I do want for my gifs to reach others and have a permanent? place. I found my old tumblr from a long time ago and was kinda surprised to see my old posts. I skimmed and browsed Tumblr now because I’m not used to it. I’m not sure if I want to get invested in it. Numerous reasons.. I want to be casual with my posts and there are so many extra large, HQ gifs out there so I find myself already comparing to those blogs. Some places look polished and fancy. I do like graphic design and have played around with it and html coding, etc. years ago, but that’s a whole other thing I don’t feel like getting into now. My level of activeness varies as well. I can imagine how big of a rabbit hole Tumblr could be. I don’t want to be checking it every day or trying to keep up with everybody…

I don’t know the etiquette on episode reactions. ^^” There is a high chance of being spoiled too. I noticed that Tumblr has algorithms and pushes recommendations/”For You” type stuff. Not a fan of that, but I guess that’s inevitable with most social media platforms.

I’m hesitant about Tumblr, but I’m leaning towards trying it. It’s not a big deal if I start and quit after a while? It’s suppose to be for fun, but I couldn’t not *overthink* about it. XP I think what if I focus on reading or some other hobbies instead, haha. Sometimes, I just like seeing how an actress or actor acts and I want to capture those moments – big or small.

I tend to have short comments on my Fan Wall instead of large paragraphs. I prefer sharing images more. I would rather save my longer comments for the recap threads or I’m not able to describe a scene as well as how it is depicted or analyzed by other Beanies.

So yeah, that’s where my head is at. And this is one of my longest posts! XD

    Iโ€™m also at a loss where to post my reactions to episodes or general topics etc. I liked doing it on the fan wall and prefixing the drama title, so people could opt out reading on lest they be spoilered (spoiled? 🤔). I somehow have the feeling thatโ€™s kinda not appropriate for the Open Thread, because Iโ€™m pretty sure spoilers (or hints of those) are very unwelcome there as well – for good reasons.

    As Iโ€™m not on any social media, Iโ€™m also still thinking about what to do. 🫣 Tumblr does sound good for people posting own GIF creations though, but itโ€™s hard not to get swept away by the sheer mass of posts on there. (If I know any of you guys are on there, Iโ€™ll make sure to stalk you though, lol! 🤓)
    I liked my comfy beanie bubble! 😭

      You get to follow people and that actually works and we see their posts on the main page. think itโ€™s worth a shot. But yeah have to check out how to avoid spoilers.
      I have no intention of going to OT to post my intial reactions. It just feels so random lol.

      I have exactly the same problem.
      I liked Fanwall for those minireactions. And that I could choose if I read them or not.

      I already suggested in the announcement article that one solution could be First Reactions weekly hangout… not perfect, but better than nothing…

        Oh, yes, another โ€žOpen thread for this weekโ€™s episodesโ€œ could be fine. Or the Open Thread + a new tag or option on a comment to hide spoilers within an expandable section. Iโ€™ve seen that being used on other platforms – like MDL (in drama reviews). 🤔 But thatโ€™s stuff that requires implementation effort, so maybe not feasibleโ€ฆ 🫤

        (Iโ€™d love to keep the fanwall – maybe text only. It just makes such a difference! But yesโ€ฆ not feasible eitherโ€ฆ)

      Spoilers are actually allowed in the Open Thread, but I usually read outside, non-live drama topics there.

      I also like to include the drama title in front of my content in case someone wants to avoid anything related to that drama.

    Which site do you often use to host your GIFs?

    I used to use giphy but once I realised its GIFs were heavy, I didnโ€™t use it anymore. I still have a number of GIFs there though.
    I used to use imgur too but I no longer use it for GIFs, just stills.

    Now all my GIFs are on tumblr (very unorganized, I donโ€™t know how to use that site yet and am not going to, I just put my GIFs there to get the image addresses) and all stills are on pinterest.

    Anyway, I totally feel you and @sonai , I loved to create GIFs so that I could discuss the shows with beanies. Iโ€™m not interested in engaging in any other community of drama lovers at the moment.

      I’ve been using imgur for my gifs and pics with no troubles.

      I’ve used Imgur for all my gifs without issues so far.

      For screencaps/stills, I noticed Imgur lowered the quality so I had to find a different host (trying ImgBB).

      I got to “know” so many Beanies from their gifs. The Fanwall was pretty basic but made alive and decorated by the Beanies all in their unique ways which made it very engaging and flavorful. Even if we retain an only-text feature with a link to gifs outside it would be preferable that trying to find a Fanwall type activity anywhere else because truly there’s nothing like that.

    I have a tumblr account too and I too felt thatโ€™s the right place.
    Can you share your id. Mine is mayhemf.
    By following known people we get to see their feeds. So this may work as an alt fan wall.
    I have seen spoilers on tumblr. People just tag spoiler.

      I think I will make a new one. 😆 I will let you know. Def want to follow you there. ^^

      Yeah I looked into it briefly, blocking certain tags as needed. :3

    I’ve been thinking about different options to replace the fan wall, but always come back to the issue of these solutions not being baked into the DB website. I love coming here to see all the different types of content. Going to a different website for fan wall type content is not very appealing. However, I’m still thinking about it. Does Tumblr have a “follow” only feed option like X?

    5

      Same about having this place outside of DB. 😩😩

      I believe it does, a separate tab section from “For You” recommendations so that is more appealing to see only content from who you follow. Not sure if they include ads in the same space though *or* if you follow not enough accounts, they might promote similar blogs?? 🫤

    I think Tumblr is a very good choice. I was mostly posting on there before coming here. The format is very good to make fantail-style posts + very suited for GIFs and pics. And I think the people over there are very chill, just like here.

2 months until the Fan Wall closes down, but I’ll still be here while I can. T.T I don’t want to stop showing love over current dramas like Love Scout.

Looking back at some old posts, I don’t know how I’m gonna save everything…it’s a lot. 😅 And exporting them won’t be the same. I’m sure I have my old gifs saved somewhere in my computer drives plus most being on Imgur.

Here is some My Country pic spam of Jang Hyuk because omg, I just read news that he may be back in kdramaland and in a sageuk?? PLEASE.

I thought they were gonna secretly hold hands, but this was wayyyy better and sweeter! ^^

    I hope this encourages people to learn sign language to bring the actual communitiescloser together. it seems too hard so here also there is like the signing community and the regular language community and they are sort of segregated, not in the same space. I plan to study a bit anyway because we have around 7-8 signing patrons. it is important to understand that for some people this is also their mother tongue. until she was silenced by her mom she was a speaking but having to play mute from so young signing did become sort of her mother tongue and everyday life she is more fluent in it perhaps than speaking language. thats why Sa Eon liked the spunk and freedom she had as “406”

    Saeon’s hesitant but careful signing and Hee-joo’s charmed and confident signing is a sight to watch. Indeed wayyyy better and sweeter than secretly holding hands. Thank you for these beautiful gifs – made as carefully as Saeon and as charming as Hee-joo. 😊❤

    I really loved how he stood up for himself in that meeting too, arguing that he deserved more attention from his boss for the time and effort he put into his work. And all of this, while only having a very small carrot to write with. 😝

    Same same. I was sick in bed, my only consolation being that it was WTPR day. I screamed after seeing the updated dates on the Netflix app, and now some people are saying we’re getting only one episode in the consecutive weeks too. I hope they’re wrong because I’ll go mad lol
