I know Core 7 existing at all was controversial with collectors especially, and that it was the beginning of the end for G3/felt like a soft transition to G4’s smaller set of characters in a way. I also know that the chosen 7 characters seemed and seem odd to some (especially since some of them were new for Core 7 or reboots/restyles of older characters). I never actually collected them all (I believe I still don’t have a Starsong or Sweetie Belle, although I’d like to one day, they’re both really cute).

I’ve always struggled to decide who would be in MY Core 7, though, if it had been up to me…Minty, Pinkie Pie and Kimono would definitely be included, but I’d need to think a little on the others, so many lovely characters and tough calls to make 🤔

So I just thought it would be fun to ask…who would you guys have picked? Who’s your Core 7?

I often find that when they do the "character is listening to music, you can hear the music through their headphones" bit of snazzy editing the music is something I simply cannot imagine that character listening to, at least not in that context. I think the worst example was Sam listening to Ordinary by Alex Warren but it's been springing to mind again these last few episodes because I also find Kit sitting around listening to Sweet Disposition by Temper Trap on loop for days >!whilst going through one of the worst times of his life!< a bit hard to believe.

Either way, got me thinking...what music do we think characters like?

It was mentioned years ago that Asha likes Little Mix (or at least did when she was a teenager), which I like because I think it checks out. I reckon she probably likes Chappell Roan now as well. I could also see her, Amy and Summer all liking Olivia Dean. Nina's tastes canonically leant more towards rock but I can see her listening to Mitski and the likes too. I think Sam probably likes sad indie folk like the Mountain Goats but that he would have probably had a sad pop punk phase in his teens (Fall Out Boy, MCR etc) instead if he was like 10 years older. Very possibly a Twenty One Pilots fan as well. Hope probably makes fun of his music taste but I'm not sure what she'd listen to herself - maybe something a bit left field like 100gecs, I can see her being a bit different but also terminally online. Ruby's definitely a musical theatre kid, though. Mary's a Michael Buble fan I feel but I can see her having a weird thing about Olly Murs as well. I can imagine Kit being a Radiohead kind of guy. Maria likes Coldplay. Leanne also likes Coldplay but she probably loved the new Lily Allen album too given recent events. Toyah likes Fiona Apple and Alanis Morrisette but can't play the former around Nick because he gets squinty and confused. Nick exclusively listens to white noise because it matches his personality. Sally listens to classical music openly but she's probably bumping something like 90s/00s Take That hits when nobody's around. Bernie's mainly a house and jungle kind of gal but I reckon she likes Kate Bush too for some reason. Lucy allegedly likes CMAT (a bit confusing given CMAT has a song called Coronation St., perhaps it's called Eastenders in the Corrieverse) which might be her most redeeming quality if true.

(Sudden urge to do a post where I sort Corrie characters into Oasis VS Blur fans. Watch this space).

Anyway, anyone else got any theories?

Haven't played Among Us in years but was feeling nostalgic and thought I'd hop onto a random game with good settings. In the chat right before the game started somebody said that purple (me!) was streaming, which I absolutely definitely was not, so I was quite confused by that and assumed they'd just made a mistake or were making stuff up.

I got assigned Imposter and set about faking tasks.

But then somebody immediately hit emergency meeting and said "it's purple, I can see their screen" which really freaked me out because like...could they see my screen? How?

I definitely wasn't streaming. Maybe somebody else was - there were multiple imposters - but I wasn't (and I couldn't have been doing it accidentally because my Steam etc settings don't allow for that). I'm kind of scared and don't want to play again now lol. I assumed that maybe another one of the other imposters was streaming and they just saw their screen but the fact they accused me before the game even started has me weirded out. Can anyone who is less unc than me key me into wtf might have just happened xx

EDIT: Got over it, joined another lobby and had a nice few games. Thanks guys
