Mother’s Day Eve

Mother’s Day Eve

My love, what’s the update?

Update…? Hmmm… I’ve seen some snippits on Instagram and YouTube… but I’m waiting for someone to upload the full concert replay.

No livestream?

No… also, I totally calculated that time difference wrong… LOL… I thought your concert would be starting by like, 7 pm my time?!

Oh… hahaha…

Anyway… I am clicking on everything and watching… but there hasn’t been that much footage and the angles aren’t great…

Yikes… why not great?

I don’t know where that uploader was sitting but it was a weird angle. I felt a bit dizzy trying to watch their video…

Oh no!

Right?!?!!? If only you had your own official HD livestream replays…

(Chuckles)

Anyway… I’ve finished dinner…

What did you have for dinner?

Also — DO YOU WANT ME TO REPLY TO YOUR BROS?!

Huh?!?!?! Wait, you didn’t answer my question.

I had vegetarian dumplings for dinner, Mum made them for me. It’s not important. I am getting more notifications now being subscribed to more of your bros and now I am feeling like, is this getting parasocial?! Are we FRIENDS?!?!!? Should I be replying to them?!!?!?!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA…

Hmmm… let me think about this…

Yes. I do want you to reply to them.

Why?!!??!!?

Just chat to them! Share whatever you want!

As a… friend?!?!?!?!!

Yes please.

But your staff read those messages too.

Doesn’t matter.

Do you actually have everyone’s logins now or what?

(Chuckles)… we have a certain amount of accounts that we can “pin to the top” — I’m not going to say how many. We can pin a few.

Who do the bros pin?!?!!?!

Most of them don’t pin anyone. It’s just a feature in the app from our perspective. Someone suggested it when they designed it. I never used it either until YOU JOINED.

How many can you pin?

Okay, just for your fictional blog, let’s say we can pin up to 10 accounts.

Really?!?!?! 10?!?!?!?!!

Yes — and now all the bros know who you are. But they can also see that you’re not replying to them. Which is weird because they usually get replies from EVERYONE. We ALL always get replies from EVERYONE. You’re the only account that doesn’t say anything!!! IT’S EVEN MORE OBVIOUS WHO YOU ARE.

(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)……………. oops…

It’s making the other bros nervous! “Are we not funny?!?! Does she not like us?!?!?! Why is she joining this app but leaving us on READ?!?!?!”

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH……………………………. omgggggg…………………

Do you see it from our perspective?!?!!?!

I don’t always leave you on read, I send you love hearts! ❤

I know, and I always love to see it. But you can reply with a bit more, you know. It’s designed so that you can feel like you’re having a conversation with us.

But… it’s not real…

(Chuckles) It is — sort of — real…………….

Well…

I feel like the only one I might reply to is… the Aussie bro?

The Aussie bro?

Yeah like — why would I reply to the non-English native speakers with English replies?

Umm… a LOT of the international fans do that…

Well… I feel weird doing that. LOL…

You can interact with all of them! It doesn’t matter!!!

Omg… why?!?!? Do you have shared logins?!?!

No — but they can just show me on their phone when we’re hanging out.

Oh… hmmm… it still feels weird for me…

They’ll just screenshot your replies and message me in the group chat.

But that’s still WEIRD FOR ME.

(Chuckles)…

Okay fine, do whatever you’re comfortable with.

I think that… it might take some time…

Do you feel like replying to any of them right now?

No, I only feel like telling you that I like unagi don.

LOL… okay, you like unagi don.

Yes… it’s like, one of my favourite dishes.

I know. I remember.

You remember?!!?

You used to order it in Melbourne all the time. Yes, I remember.

Oh… (eheheheheheh)…

What else do you want to say…?

Well… the bracelet is cute…

Oh? There’s a bracelet in one of these conversations?!?!?!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH……………… yes…

And?

I don’t know. See it’s not that deep?!?!?!!

(Chuckles)… yeah… it’s not that deep… it never gets that deep…

I wish I could just emoji react to the messages, you know like on FB messenger where you can just select out of 5 emojis to react with?!

LOL — WHAT IF WE GET THE ANGRY FACES?! OR CRYING EMOJIS?!?!?!?

Fine then, just do like Instagram where if we double-tap we can just give it a heart?

Hmmm… I’ll make a suggestion in our next meeting…

I feel like I can heart stuff — like a photo or a message.

When you send all those photos, I would HEART THAT. Each and every photo!

I don’t really have anything to say, but a double-tap heart reaction, I often do.

Hmmm…

Heart, or thumbs up, or a smile…

You’re thinking of the Facebook messenger reactions…

Well, yeah… LOL…

I mean, sometimes you say stuff that people would want to react with a pouty crying face!

Like what?!?!?!

Like when you were INJURED?!?!?! People would have wanted to react that way then?!?!!?

Oh… yeah… but we don’t want angry face. I don’t want to receive angry faces…

(Sigh)… LOL… nevermind, just stick to hearts, that’s probably the easiest…

So, on Instagram you can only heart?

Yeah — it’s not that complicated. Just double-tap and give it a heart.

Oh, I see…

Anyway… hmmm… I’m not sure if there’s anything else to say about that… I think if I ever reply — I would imagine it’s like, WE’RE ALL SITTING TOGETHER HAVING THIS CONVERSATION. It’s never a conversation of me and that bro “only” — you know what I mean?

Uhuh… yes… that is my intention with your involvement in this app as well…

LOL… otherwise it’s just too weird!

You can reply, though. I think it will be fun for me — if you reply.

WHY?!!?!?!?!?!?!

(Giggles) — just reply! Have fun with it.

But staff read it too — we’re going in circles now.

(Giggles)… ^__^ ❤ ❤ ❤
