A Jeff Satur Gifset | Call Me by Fire S3: “《动物世界》 Animal Kingdom"
Jeff was playing one of three victims of hypnotism and mind control, who are later revealed to actually be personas trapped within the mind of one man.
The best part of this show is seeing the participants display as much range as possible, especially when they try things typically outside of their box. So far Jeff has covered R&B, rap, rock and roll, ballads, a choreographed dance number. He hadn't yet done something more theatrical, but this now ticks that off the list.
I've seen a lot of Chinese netizens comment on how Jeff's acting gave them the chills, especially that haunting smile in the mirror. Channel those acting chops Jeff!

Aries and leo (kyle and demar)
OKAY so this is gonna be a long one, im a leo but i have a lot of aries friends n people who im close to, after like 50 years of knowing me finally get told my bday n they're always like 'i thought you were an aries!' Idk why! So yea, long one!
Leos things are i guess they're like cats? They want your attention n if they don't get they, they will act like people they really aren't. Leos are HUGE actors. They loove actin the villain ESPECIALLY, or acting like they have inflated egos but not REALLY. They love pretending to be bigger than they really are (cough. Ja. Who's diseased with sun leo moon leo.) They HATE accountability for BAD things, they'll take the good things but stay away from any criticism. N i know bcs me using they instead of i to describe my own sign should be telling. People love to put out that leos are super cocky n prideful n they can SEEM to be, but it's really more internal than exterior. Leos just SHOW you exterior so they can SEEM exterior. You'll see a leo show off for his friends (WORST thing for a leo to do is SHOW OFF.. for someone. Because leos will turn into people they aren't all to impress the person they want attention from, they're that desperate), n think he's an annoying asshole! He doesnt have cognizance lol! But, in his head, 2 seconds after doin that he's actually zoned out thinking 'why the hell did i do that that's so embarrassing.'
You know??? Like it's EASY to put em in a box, but they HATE being put in a box. They're always MORE than what a person THINKS, they HAVE to be! That's their REAL pride, not a direct everything is about me, but similar. I know me personally.. i think the most selfish self-preserving thoughts ever. It's scary the lengths my mind will go to scenario me the only survivor of something. I HATE being in places I can't control because of it, like Rollercoasters (but i also love rollercoasters). The WORST and BEST thing a leo can do sometimes is get in their own head. Sometimes you can dig deep n realize that who you were yesterday SHOULDNT be you n it's NOT you n you gotta improve! Othertimes it's selfish thoughts that you don't think are selfish until 2 seconds later, which makes you hate yourself more because 'damn?? I was really ready to jump on that idea?? Wtf is wrong with me man!' LIKE! leos THINK, but they don't want others to THINK they THINK cus they want you to THINK they can do things without THINKING. namean? Like everything they do, they meant to. It's all gotta look entertaining but flawless to people.
N people reminding them they rlly aren't flawless can fly the wrong way. It's always personal, YOU sought out a problem in MY performance because YOU just hate MY jokes or MY shine. You don't ACTUALLY think it's terrible, you think I'M terrible. N that makes them realize everything was an act n that act wasn't even good. N that makes em think n a leo doesn't wanna think cus it CAN lead to progression, but it involves accountability and forced self change. Leos who always say 'oh im not LIKE other leos like im not the STEREOTYPE', you lowkey gotta watch out for. Cus yea, leos do get a stereotype but people gotta understand that it's just STRESSED. Those factors DO apply to leo, just not exactly in the way others perceive it to. A leo that recognizes that will be a leo who's still pretty prideful on the inside yeah, but will always TRY and improve. A leo will always try to be better than they once were. Fueled by pride because they always need a worse comparison, yeah, but when they reach a higher better level.. they ARE becoming better. THEY just gotta realize that even tho who they are now is better than who they once were.. it could be a low bar to beat. They COULDVE been really terrible, switched the flavor, n are now thinkin 'i don't gotta do anything. Im the best i can be now, definitely better than who i once was' n they stop THERE. it's easy for a leo to get stuck in the state of mind they think fits them. What a leo needs is to learn to realize n accept accountability n USE that pride into BETTERMENT.
I'm someone who doesn't take any criticism well because my first thoughts n reactions to it is 'you're disappointed. You hate me'. I have to MAKE myself step back n realize that's not the case. They're trying to actually HELP me. Not hate me. Even with school papers now, i have to look at the feedback, think out all the negative thoughts i instantly get from it, THEN come back like 'yeah this makes sense'
THATS where the aries leo connection comes in i think. People think they won't get along, aries and leo do things without thinking and that can lead to some hurtful or embarrassing stuff, but if they can both realize HOW bad they can get n are willing to try n improve from it, they can be a great duo. They have similar issues n similar solutions, moving on. Leos are quick to forgive themselves in a sense that they're forgiving their PRESENT self n hating the past. An aries can understand that because they work quick. Aries can be mean then flash into forgiveness. Leos and aries can hurt each other, realize they've hurt, and forgive each other as they move into a LARGER friendship FROM that. It seems weird to others, but it's just them! They GET it. They're both easily misinterpreted, and can bond from it.
Because a LOT of people can easily love an aries THEN hate them. An aries can be super sweet n funny, but for people who hold things for a long time with stagnant thought... they can hate them when an aries gets mad. Like my senior English teacher was an aries (zodiac girls in my class asked him), n whenever the previous class put him in a bad mood, he'd take it out on his honors class. Which isn't FAIR, but it's an aries. Aries gotta let stuff out. That's just how they operate. BUT because they gotta let things out, they can ALSO be super deep, direct, n SURPRISINGLY emotional. Lots of people just wrote my teacher off as a grump, but when he WAS happy, he was SUPER nice to us. Super sensitive to what we had to say, gave a big speech a lot about knowing we'd do well in whatever future lied ahead. Keeps in touch with his old students after they graduate. IT'S EASY to write them off as not sensitive, but they ARE. Just like it's easy to write off a leo for acting.
Aries can help a leo because they experience similar issues, but they NEVER act. They act on feelings, but they're FEELINGS. They don't care what they come off as, n i enjoy that a lot! THEY just need someone who's willing to wait it out whenever they're being an asshole. My teacher WAS a good teacher who DID like our class, but his attitude sometimes could just make a student hate him n that's it. Like.. idk. You CAN hate an aries, but you gotta learn you can love em as well. They're not ALWAYS gonna be like this, same as a leo. They both CHANGE. Not always for the better but they change n cus they share that, they can help each other thru the change
I think the beauty in an aries leo relationship is people thinkin they can be super toxic cus it makes sense. But they can a completely adverse direction and turn something terrible into something so beautiful cus THATS what they BOTH can do! Change !!
#my s/o is an aries n he can be an asshole but i love him ig 🙄#we met when we were both bullies tho n i threw rocks at him#middleschool ted.. bad ted. sometimes i gotta remember i still carry traits from the past n i may always#i just have to work on em to make em better but theyll always be there#anyways i had to move around a lot as a kid cus of alot tragedy in my life which isnt an excuse but an explanation i guess?#i dont victimize it n admit i was a dick#still can be so i gotta always take a step back n realize what im doin#but anyways ive lived rough so my first thought when moving is i gotta BE rough#so id move to a new school n my first goal was taking down the school bully which sounds heroic n COULDVE been#but no i just took down the school bully and became worse than him that was always the plan#most of the bullies were aries lol i know that cus id do whatever research i can on em to help learn what they hated#i couldve been puttin that energy into like idk! learnin the months in order or shit n i didnt n now im stupid!#it's not cool n im not proud of it 😭 but yeah one of my bullies turned out to be my s/o like YEARS years later#cus we both realized later that we sucked n we reconciled#PRETTY wild but thats how leos n aries operate n not everybody can always have the energy to take that!#i get it!#sometimes a leo n an aries gotta realize they can come across badly n it's on THEM#idk tho! these are just my thots! take em with a grain of salt lol!#this ones more analysis than funny! read if u want or dont idc!#thanks for askin! hope this helps u get at least what kyle demar get ig!#ted tumbunity things

Dear Chibi. 1- Does Yun has haters or bad coments like some bands in the kpop world? 2- Dose he has a theater critics who don't like his work And (it's okay not to like everyone) but what are the criticisms that they do to him? Im curious to know what theater critics are like in Japan? Thanks you Take care
Dear Anon,
Thank you very much for your interesting question! I must say, it was as painful as it was interesting to do research on what criticisms there are flying around about my son (;;≽▽≼;;)
Japanese Fandoms
Japanese fandoms are usually less verbally aggressive than English speaking fandoms in general. There is a larger focus on the positive sides than negative, because in Japanese culture it is considered very tasteless to publicly shit on stuff too much. In public spaces usually when Japanese people don’t like something, they just rather not say anything, or say: “personally it’s not my cup of tea.” That, or they go very roundabout to excessively praise the things that they do like (Yana is the textbook definition of this type of person). As such, there is less ‘hate’ going on. This of course is mostly positive, but it does come with people not being able to know what people really think about something.
Past Criticism
The most common criticism (professional and otherwise) against Furukawa is that his singing voice lacks volume and power. By this, I do not mean that he does not produce enough decibels.
The first impression most people got of Furukawa at TOHO is Rudolf in Elisabeth, 2012. During his duet with Der Tod, Furukawa’s voice was almost entirely drowned out by his co-stars.
Tumblr media
Furukawa has always been the least confident about his singing, and at the time he was even more timid about going out of his comfort-zone (which was incredibly narrow). Some people criticised his singing for sounding like but a melodic mumble. I have to say, at the time Furukawa’s voice really was very weak, and it indeed lacked any volume.
The meanest critique I’ve read so far is that it seemed like TOHO only recruited Furukawa for his good looks, but that otherwise he did not manage to live up to the expectations that go with a proper grand musical.
Nowadays however, most people agree that Furukawa’s singing has improved a lot. Many people were stunned by his performance in ‘Mozart!’, his ‘Ogosho’ debut. Mozart has many songs that require a lot of volume, and there is unanimous agreement that “Furukawa’s hard work paid off“.
I have to agree. Furukawa’s vocals are still nowhere comparable to the rich opera voices many of his TOHO colleagues have (Inoue, Yamazaki, Tashiro, Watanabe, Urai, etc. etc.). But he did work to achieve the volume and star power in his singing that befits a first tier actor of a grand theatre.
Tumblr media
Recent Criticism
Furukawa’s face has been plastered all over the place, from front pages of everything, to even the Hankyu Department Store and central station. TOHO has been marketing the hell out of their favourite cow. Of course it’s not like everyone thinks he deserves this attention (himself included ≽ω≼).
Tumblr media
Some people expressed that it’s not like they like or dislike Furukawa, it’s just that they really don’t like how he’s being so aggressively promoted/shoved in everyone’s faces. Some people think that Furukawa has not really done anything that earned him this enormous publicity, let alone the honorary title of ‘Ogosho’.
More negative people criticise him for not only lacking power in his voice, but also physical power (click here and here for examples of him being Prince Noodlearms). Some are of the opinion that it makes his movements look very weak, while others think it’s ‘unmanly’ how he can hardly pick up children, let alone women. (From what I know alone, in ‘Elisabeth 2019′ he dropped Sissi at least once, and almost dropped her a few other times. He did not lift Rudolf during Mayerling like other Der Tods do either.)
Slightly kinder theatre fans say that Furukawa is an actor ‘with potential’, but that so far he’s only been given roles that were not optimal to let him shine. They say that they look forward to seeing him in a role that would be better suited (← This is what I mean by ‘roundabout praising’).
I hope this answers a few questions and may give you a small glimpse of things ^^;; Sorry I could not be more concrete. You take care too!! 💗
