I wish this vid had engsub (I don't have my ear on, maybe they're speaking English? Deaf stay exist!). But from glancing at the comments it looks like approx 5 days ago SKZ ended a concert early due to excessive heat and possibly Felix's back acting up?

(Which, you can see Felix is sitting there in what looks like damn near screaming pain; I've done that "constantly shifting to try to find a position that hurts less" and you can see him biting and pressing his lips, gripping his hands together, etc. 🥺 and everyone else keeps glancing at him like "we can and will cut this shorter if you need us to". And this is just in the first couple minutes! I hope he got to lay down on a heating pad, or with a nice cold pack on it, and take meds, or whatever he usually does for his back pain, asap after that vid.)

Okay US #skz #straykids folk: best place to buy physical #straykidsHollow album from? (Preferably in person in #SanFernandoValley/#LosAngeles but I'll take known safe+reputable online shops too.)

I would... like to not pay an arm and a leg but I'm aware Japanese albums are often Expensive and don't get e.g. Target exclusives like it looks like their Korean discography is slowly gaining. (I am a simple, poor Stay okay.)

.... akshsjbdjr the MV for #Hollow?! excuse me #StrayKids??? And also HELLO OUTFITS? VOICES? DRAMA BOYS??

(Was that an elaborate stageplay murder-suicide drama MV???) (I'm gonna re-check for engsub in a day or two. Apparently 1 day is not enough wait for their Jp channel.)

I have apparently reached "will gush about SKZ in my dreams" level of fan being.

(The other person was a more casual fan who was like "these acrobatics and stuff don't impress me they should focus on vocals more" about a collab MV that (afaik) doesn't actually exist irl and that set me off about their skill levels and how they tend to do their own stuntwork and let them have fun and and— I think it was actually a really fun convo in my dream but I woke up like "o no who lets me socialize lmfao".)

Because I think I'm funny, THIS is the #skz #straykids knockoff merch tee I got. #skzismemefucks

(Ilu #LeeKnow I promise. Lol.)

#skzstay #straykidsstay #STAY

Knockoff (probably - or unauthorized seller on shein) #skz #straykids merch.

The other side, the side that curves with the curve of your arm? Says "Stray Kids". It's a ridiculously adorable and touching design and if it's an official one, I feel kinda bad for not getting it officially.

(Mind you if it's an official one that's officially unavailable... a bitch can't rewrite the past.)

#skzstay #straykidsstay #STAY

I knew it looked like I.N. and Changbin were having fun with that. Lmao.

(Sadly they did not give us even a glimpse of stumbles over the revving motor onomatopeia. You're depriving me, skz-staff!)

Okay I finally had a quiet moment to listen to/watch #CinemabyLeeKnowandSeungmin and first of all how dare they sound so lovely together? (Please do more duets; your voices together are SO nice!) 😍

Second, I'm actually <*chinhands*> at them because oh baby are there *layers* here; this is an ode to STAY, this is an ode to skz, this is an ode to their 7 year long journey to get where they are, this is an ode to being performers with massive stage presence and trying to meet fan expectations while having privacy, this is an ode to each other (both Seungmin and Lee Know to each other, and also them to the other members, I think), an ode to how fame can unanchor you if you're not careful.

"Cinema" is a veeeery deliberate choice of title and theme. And also, the entire framing makes me think of "All the world's a stage / and all the men and women merely players" (from *As You Like It*, Shakespeare); the full monologue is maudlin and bitter, and definitely this song could have taken that bent... but instead...

"And now night after night
When you cannot find your way
I'll be waiting...
Welcome to our Cinema"

It's a comfort show we all know. It's that one we know tugs our heart strings and might make us cry but mostly it's silly and feel good and always says "hey there you are 💕".

Because nobody is SKZ's biggest fan bar SKZ members themselves, remember? They're always the most hype. The most comforting. Always rallying around each other. Everything so far that's knocked out less well-knit groups has just made them closer and stronger and they just keep going and always praise each other and STAY as the reasons they keep going.

Lee Know and Seungmin probably made everyone cry with this song, I would bet you. But I guess those two had a LOT of feelings and felt confident in showing them like this.

We love you Lee Know + Seungmin!!

"#loveSTAY" is this as schmoopy as the title sounds?

<*looks it up*> yes. 1000% yes. Awwwww. (And the stylization of the title... it's directed at STAY. All of their love ballads are either directed at each other "subtly" or at stay. Skz you are not subtle. 😆💕💕💕) #skz #straykids #skzstay #straykidsstay #STAY
