After You is my second favourite song on This & That after Run It and for some reason when I heard it I instantly had such a clear vision of a music video for the track and I wanted to share it here!

The video would be semi AU and start with all the guys separated and living "normal" lives with "normal" jobs. In this alternate reality there is no Skz.

Chan is an actor

Lee Know is a dance instructor

Changbin is a personal trainer

Hyunjin is an artist

Han is a councillor at a kids summer camp

Seungmin is a lawyer

Felix is a Taekwondo instructor

I.N is an elementary school teacher

(A couple of these are based on what they've said they'd be doing if they weren't Idols, others are just jobs I thought might fit them lol)

They all feel the same pull that they can't explain. Like they're not at all where they're meant to be and that something's missing from their lives.

I kind of picture all of them seeing the same little ball of light and having the strong urge to follow it.

At first they find each other in pairs.

Lee Know & Han

Hyunjin & Felix

Chan & Changbin

I.N & Seungmin

They see each other, something clicks and they run into each other's arms like Chan and Hyunjin in the "Escape" mv.

Now working in pairs, they continue to follow the ball of light until all 8 of them are together. Throughout their search, there's short flashes of "memories" from the reality they're unknowingly trying to get back to. Sort of like what they did with the "Stray Kids" mv and the movie theater clips, minus the parts where you actually see them in the theater watching the videos.

The final chorus/outro of the song is them finally finding each other and being transported out of the AU and back to the reality where Stray Kids does exist. They're back where they belong, on stage performing together and the ball of light they were following is revealed to be Tasy. Which would add a visual representation of "You make Stray Kids stay".

I know when it comes to the song itself some people see it as a love song and others see it in as a song that's just about finding that person you can't live/imagine your life without. And I understand why. The song definitely fits both romantic and platonic scenarios.

I just feel like Stray Kids really are each others soulmates (in the most platonic way possible!)

If alternate realities really did exist I believe they'd somehow find each other in every one, regardless of what they were doing or what direction their lives were headed.

The 8 of them really are meant to be together.

I've seen a couple comments going around saying that they're not really as close as they seem. That's it's all just fan service and I know that very well could be the case for certain K-Pop groups. I'm sure there probably are some cases where friendships between idols might be more forced then we realize.

But the way these guys look at each other, talk about each other, their smiles, their laughter, the way they support each other, and all the little, more subtle things they do, like when Hyunjin moves to stand next to other members (especially Felix) when he knows they're feeling uncomfortable or anxious, the way Han looks for Lee Know and stays close to him when his anxiety gets to him, they way Chan used to stand in front of Han when the confetti cannons went off because he knew the sound freaked him out, how angry Chan gets when he sees the others being mistreated, how Lee Know's always watching to make sure everyone's ok, the big smile I.N gets when the members are clingy with him, the fact that Hyunjin's said he's not really into skinship but he doesn't mind it with them because of how much he trusts them, I could go on but we'd be here all day! 😅

My point is, anyone who *actually* watches and pays attention knows you just can't fake the kind of bond they have.

After all, Chan said it himself, 8 is fate! And he was right.

Anyway what do you guys think of the mv concept?

P.s thanks for listening to me ramble! I don't really have any K-Pop friends I can talk to and get excited about this stuff with so I really appreciate you guys putting up with & replying to my posts! I haven't been here long but Stay is hands down the best fandom I've ever been apart of! ❤️

Literally everything we've been told about Super Mega raids specifically states we need MEGA evolved Pokemon to break the shields in SM raids so why am I seeing so many people in lobbies with Primals instead of Megas?!

It's so frustrating having to bail out of lobbies cuz you've only got 9 Megas and a handful of other trainers with Primals preventing the group from having any chance at winning the raid!

If you're gonna be doing any Mega Mewtwo raids make sure you have a MEGA evolved Pokemon in your team! Save your Primals for raids they can *actually* be useful in!

Hi everyone!

A group of coworkers and I have left our jobs to open our own accounting firm (We were all working in the accounting field previously) and we're looking into alternatives to the programs we've been using the past few years at our old place of employment.

The program we want to replace most out of all of them is Goldmine as Goldmine has been an absolute nightmare for us in the past.

We mainly used it to schedule appointments and as a logging system for our client files. So, that's what we're mainly looking for.

In terms of logging client files, we just need a system that lets us enter the names and phone numbers of clients and allows us to log the date they brought their paperwork in and who their file was given to within our office. Having a program to log files like this makes it easier for us to quickly look up who has each client's file in and when their paperwork was dropped off.

What we don't want:

- Nothing too complicated, we'd prefer to keep things as user friendly as possible

- Nothing too expensive, this is a new business and a lot of the other programs we need are not cheap lol

- No AI. We'd like to keep client info as secure as possible. We also like to avoid Gen AI as much as possible for moral and ethical reasons.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!

This is my first comeback since becoming a Stay and I just want to know what I can do to support Skz and if there's anything special/specific Stays do as a community during comebacks.

I'm a Canadian Stay, and can't afford to travel out of the country rn, so I can't really attend any events related to the comeback unless they have any here.

I've added "Run It" to a Spotify playlist with about 6 other songs as buffers and I've had it playing almost non stop the past 3 days to help boost their numbers. I've been watching/playing the musical video on YT between watching other things throughout the day as well!

I'm trying to save for future merch related to the comeback but I just had to leave my job and even though I already have another one lined up, I won't be getting a steady paycheque for a while! (My old co-workers and I are starting up a new business lol)

Any advice, tips and tricks from more seasoned Stays would be greatly appreciated!

Also, side note, I just wanna say how much I absolutely love being part of this community! You guys are amazing and Skz has helped me so much these past few months! (My mental health has always been sht and I found them when I was in a really dark place)

I can't wait for this comeback and all the future comebacks I'll get to be a part of! 😁❤️

So I'm still technically a Baby Stay (just started listening to them about 5 months ago), and just recently started working my way through their entire discography.

I'd heard God's Menu before and I love it! However, I was completely unaware of the fact there was also a Japanese version!

So I'm sitting here minding my business working my way through their albums starting with Karma and working my way backwards. I get to All In. "All In", "FAM" & "One Day" all get added to my Skz playlist! Then I hear the intro to God's Menu, and I assume it's the same God's Menu I'd been listening to this whole time! I'm expecting to hear Binnie kick things off with his little "Ne sonnim"...

But nope! The second I heard Changbin's tiny voice say "Here Sir" my brain glitched and then I lost it! 😂

I recoverd for about 2 seconds only to hear Hyunjin, *very* aggressively yelling "Here sir!" through my Airpods! Queue round two of absolutely losing my sht! 🤣

Idk why this got me so messed up but I also haven't slept in 2 days so I'm placing some of the blame on my sleep deprived brain! Lol

Did this throw anyone else off when they first heard the Japanese version or am I just broken? 😅

(Side Note: I absolutely love their diversity and that they have English and Japanese versions of so many of their songs! I know it's pretty common in K-Pop but it just feels like Skz goes that extra mile in their recording and production process to show that their translated versions are just as important to them as the OG songs.)

Did this in a sub for another group I stan and we had a lot of fun with it so I figured I'd do something similar here lol

It started with me making a couple "Learn The Alphabet With" videos and having people guess who said what.

I don't have my Skz one finished yet so I can't post the quotes for each letter of the alphabet, so I decided to just go with the "rent free" moments 😅

Can you guys guess who said what?

1. "F-I-G-H-T FIGHTING!!!"
2. "I am tree!"
3. "Marshmallow knee!"
4. "Pineapple on my burgah?!"
5. "Who is Megan?"
6. "Yongbok...it's time to go to bed."
7. "Save me! I need English! I can't speak!"
8. "Why you speaking Korean?! What are you doing?!"
9. "WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING ME YONGBOK?!"
10. Member 1) "Is this Felix? Chan) "No it's Chan!"
11. "Your behaviour is so...ugh!"
12. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HANNAH?!"
13. "W-a-n-k-i-n-g Walking!" Chan: *instant panic* 😂
14. (Mouth full) "Gogi!"
15. "You know what else is big?"
16. Member 1) "I'm hungry!" Member 2) "You're always hungry!" Member 1) "I'M HUNGRY!"
17. "Listen to my heart-tuh beat-TUH!"
18. "Ice cream!"
19. "Oi Felix! What'd you make bro?!"
20. "Hey Seungmin! You're lying!"

Edit: Woah, I have no idea what's going on with Reddit's formatting but it's really testing me today! I posted this with 20 lines and suddenly it broke them up and threw in 21-24??? What is happening?! I think I've got it fixed now!

So, for context I've been playing RH for almost 6 months now and I don't play CL very often, so I haven't had the materials needed to really level up any of the in game skills.

When they added Knife I ended up playing quite a bit because I really wanted to place high in the "New Song Ranking" so I wanted to level up my "Stage" skill for the bonus points.

I also really need more coins so I was looking up level up my "Snap" skill too.

"Record" skill, I don't really care too much about cuz the HP they already give us is usually more than enough for me. (Playing Lvl 16 and 17 songs are the only times I've run out, but I'm working on getting through them!)

The "Choreography" skill is the one skill I have an issue with.

I'm a competitive person who's always working to hone their skills and be better at the things I enjoy.

I'm one of those people who grinds for every in game achievement I can get. I love reaching game set goals and my own personal goals.

The "choreography" skill just ruins that.

If I get "All Excellent" or "All Marvellous", I want it to be because *I* played well enough to get it!

I don't want to get "All Excellent" or "All Marvellous" because an algorithm is converting my bad hits into good ones.

Sure the higher score is nice, but it just takes the fun out of trying to play the perfect round.

I wish they'd, at the very least, done it so, at the end when it shows your hit ratio, it would still show the converted hits. And that you don't get "All Excellent" or "All Marvellous" unless you, yourself, ACTUALLY played a perfect round.

If I get fair or a miss I wanna see FAIR or MISS not "good"!

If I get "good" I wanna see GOOD not "excellent"!

I don't want that "Perfect Hit" badge on a song I didn't get a perfect hit on. I wanna see that diamond shaped "you made it to the end of the song" badge until I *actually* get that perfect hit on my own and EARN that hexagonal "perfect hit" badge!

Right now, my highest lvl "Choreography" skill is Lvl. 12 on Enhypen.

"Fair or below > Good x12
Good > Excellent x1"

Now when I play a song I don't already have "All Excellent" or "All Marvellous" on, I feel like I need to screen record so I can watch it back and make sure I'm not getting a false perfect.

Honestly it feels like when they used to give us "Participation" trophies/ribbons in elementary school lmao.

I know skill level can really help when it comes to rankings but I'd rather rank lower using my own developed talents than rank higher because an algorithm essentially corrected or erased my mistakes.

Does anyone else kind of hate this skill and wish it was designed differently?

Thankfully my choreo skill on TXT is only at 7 so I don't have to worry about false perfects there but I'm lvl 10 on SVT so I feel like I have to keep a closer eye on my hits with those songs now too.

So I made a "Learn The Alphabet With SVT" video but my laptop is being stupid and won't let me upload it anywhere SO I decided to turn it into a game instead! 😅

Can you guess who said each quote from the clips I used?

Bonus points if you know the actual clip/video!

(Also a for couple of these quotes I used romanized Korean to fit them with their letter. If I spell something wrong please lmk! English is my first and only language rn but I am working on learning Korean so please go easy on me! The English translations are not mine, they're just taken from the video captions! I know some people have strong opinions on translations but I promise I mean absolutely no disrespect to anyone! ❤️)

A: "AHHH!"
Hint: <This member's frustration was caused purely by Hoshi getting too excited and not listening 😂>

B: "BUDAPEST!"

G: "Grapefruit"

H: "Hmm!" *sassy pose*

I: "I'm crazy!"

J: "Jeoneun munsin-i eobs-eoyo!" (Do you like tattoos? I don't have tattoos!)

K: "Korean traditional mungbean pancake!"

L: "Look at my fit!"

M: "Mwolado malhaebwa! Wae dol-aseoneun geoya?! Dol-aseomyeonseo mwolado malhaebwa!"
(Say something! Why turn around?! Say something while turning!!!)

N: "No no! No no! Understand!"

O: Member 1) "Ouh?"
Member 2) "Ouh?"
Member 1) "Ouh?"

P: "Pasta?...Lobster!"

Q: "Qurrr!"
Edit to add: There's a chance this membed said an actual Korean word but I couldn't find any clips that showed any sort of caption for it! This is just what I heard 😅! So I'll add a hint, they're a member of the Maknae line!

R: "R you kidding me? Kimbapi kidding?!"
(I know it's technically an A but the one I have for A is one of my favourite SVT moments so I had to fit this one somewhere else! 😅)

S: Member 1) "S-H-O-T Shoot!"
Member 2) 😳

T: "Twoteen!"

U: "Ult tim-e membeoga 14 myeong issnayo?"
(Do we have 14 members???)

V: "VerDi!"

W: "Wine Party!" 💁🏻🍷

X: *stuttering*
Hint: <Member from the foreign line, struggling with the Name Game>

Y: "You, you, you touchy, touchy!"

Z: *hammer squeak*
Hint: <An extremely calm member had enough and almost knocked the another member out! 😂>

So, idk why, but I've been thinking a lot about how stupidly the devs handled Heeseung's removal from the game (Danielle's too honestly). Especially when it comes to his cards.

New players will have absolutely zero chance of ever getting any items related to Hee and existing players have now lost the chance to finish their collections. (Personally I was only able to collect 31/93 Performance Cards, 10/101 Concept Photos, 1/84 Profile Skins, 5/38 Skin & Movies, 0/17 Voices and 0/16 Messages)

I know this is 100% wishful thinking on my part and the chances of me seeing a unicorn are higher than them ever doing this BUT...

I think when an artist is removed from the game in the way Heeseung was removed (0 acces to existing items, cards unusable for newly added songs but still playable for existing ones) the game devs should make ALL Performance Cards, Concept Photos, Profile Skins, Skin & Movies, Voices & Messages associated with the specific idol, fully unlocked and available to ALL players, old and new!

Idc if they make them all available through tickets, diamonds, coins whatever just make them available! Personally I think the right thing to do to in order to do right by their player community would be to automatically put those items in our mailboxes as freebies since his removal has kinda screwed the gameplay for Enha songs and it's made upgrading Hee's cards a pita!

I'm not a NewJeans fan and I've only played their maps to farm diamonds but I think the same should be done for Danielle.

Like I said, I know this is all just the most delusional wishful thinking on my part but what do you guys think?
