With Nat being crowned as "Antler Queen" (I know this position is referred internally as "Oracle" or "Shaman", but I think that position is forever with Lottie), we're all wondering what the future group dynamics will be like. I mentioned this in another thread, but I wanted to expand on it here: I believe we'll see a King-Bishop type relationship with Nat being the King (Queen, in this case) and Lottie as the Bishop in a spiritual advisory role.
In the first two seasons we've gotten a pretty good sense of Teen Nat and Lottie's personality: Nat is more direct and Lottie is fairly passive. In S2, we saw how members within the group were making decision for Lottie (ex: Marie re: hunting rifle) or speaking on behalf of Lottie (ex: Misty), and also how uncomfortable that made her. To borrow a line from Game of Thrones, "Power resides where men believe it resides." At some point, Lottie's control over the group would have been coopted by people like Misty (a fact we saw bearing out in the finale).
Nat, of course, isn't going to let someone like Misty speak on her behalf, or have someone like Mari make decisions for her. It remains to be seen if Nat has bought in completely into Lottie's beliefs, but she certainly had no problem accepting the crown from Lottie and appears to at least welcome it.
So what would a Nat-Lottie leadership look like? Lottie might not believe the wilderness is speaking to her anymore, but we know she possesses a degree of clairvoyance before the crash (re: her childhood). I suspect Lottie's visions aren't going away and will continue to serve the group. Maybe she can't trust throwing her visions out in public without a filter, so she first runs it by Nat. It almost doesn't matter if Nat is a good leader; she can exert control and disseminate Lottie's visions in an appropriate manner. But this is also where we might see some conflict between the two.
Lottie isn't going to stop her daily prayers/meditations just because she gave the "crown" to Nat, and the group isn't going to stop going to Lottie for support. Nat is a lot of things, but she's not exactly personable. Lottie's passivity helps in making her the person you can turn to. I suspect (and again, these are all just assumptions bordering on fanfic), we'll slowly see a divide when part of the group fails to act on Nat's orders until they get a nod from Lottie. Or, perhaps Lottie relays a vision she believes important to Nat, but Nat doesn't pass it along to the group, therefore pushing Lottie into a more proactive role and realizing she needs to take the crown back. Might this also open up the door for someone like Shauna or Tai to wrestle control of the group and instill order?
Regardless of what happens or if any of the above is true, I'm looking forward to seeing what a Natalie leadership looks like.
Note: On a slightly related (maybe?) note, let's not forget Lottie was running interference for Shauna while she (Shauna) was hanging around Jackie's two-month old corpse, even when everyone else knew it was time for her to move on. Lottie also hasn't said a word about the knife wound on Jackie's wrist. If that's not a person you don't confide secrets in then I don't even know anymore.

Everyone's ready to get to the conference season. It's entirely possible some people were overlooking the final non-conference game. Would focus be a problem? Who would get through with the momentum? And would the games played today matter when the Selection Committee gathered? Let's find out.
*****
#1 UCLA 87, #25 Illinois 74. It's been a long road through a lot of difficult teams, but UCLA did what they set out to do: repeat a 12-0 start.
Bill Walton had 20 points, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was two blocks shy of a triple-double, and the Bruins (12-0) took out the Illini (9-3) to run their winning streak to 49 and finish non-conference's play undefeated for the second consecutive year.
"We look at every game as important," Bruins coach John Wooden said after the game. "We're not about to slack off, and we're not about to take our focus down at all. Illinois is just as important as Kentucky to us."
For a while, the Illini road the hot hand of Derek Harper to stay with their foes. Harper had 14 points by halftime as the teams entered the locker room deadlocked at 43. However, Reggie Miller's defense kept Harper out of the scoring column in the second half and provided the difference.
"It's a 40-minute game, and I wasn't there for 40 minutes," Harper said.
#3 Kentucky 67, #8 Michigan 58. If UCLA is the undisputed #1, could Kentucky be the undisputed #2? Voters can be weird, but we'll see.
Cliff Hagan led all scorers with 15 points as the Wildcats (11-1) ended their non-conference schedule in style with a win over the Wolverines (9-3), who had been hoping for their second Super Five scalp of the season.
"I think this shows we still have room for improvement," Michigan coach John Beilein said after the game. "We need to make some adjustments before Big Ten play, but I think we can find them and do something with them."
Kentucky's starters, other than Hagan, struggled during the game. Dan Issel was held by Chris Webber to a mere 5 points on the night. But the Blue Line -- Kentucky's "second starters" as coach Adolph Rupp calls them -- came through in the clutch, as Jamal Mashburn had 12 points to spur an 11-3 run that put Kentucky up for good.
"It's a good luxury to have 10 starters," Rupp joked.
#4 Duke 72, #15 Southern Cal 68. In the NIBL postseason, you survive and advance. Duke is getting ready for that mentality early.
Elton Brand's 16 points and 11 rebounds led the way as the Blue Devils (10-2) held off the Trojans (9-3), who finished non-conference play 0-3 against the Super Five and 9-0 against everyone else.
"What that tells me is that we can be a 2 or 3 seed, and that the Sweet Sixteen is good, but it also says we have work to do to compete for the big prize," coach Sam Barry said when asked about the unusual split. "We'll have time to work on our game, we'll face UCLA a couple times... I hope we can improve over the course of the season."
Duke, meanwhile, enters ACC play with two close wins after a loss to Michigan. Coach Mike Krzyzewski isn't worried, though. "We'll be ready," he said to reporters. "We've played tough teams, and we're a tough team."
DeMar DeRozan led the Trojans with 15 points.
#5 Kansas 77, #9 Notre Dame 65. Notre Dame had been overachieving throughout the non-conference season. It had to come to an end with a reality check.
Paul Pierce took over in the second half, getting a personal 8-0 run as part of his 24 point outburst as the Jayhawks (10-2) knocked off the Fighting Irish (9-3) to enter Big XII play with momentum.
With the score tied at 55, Pierce hit a three-point jumper to give Kansas the lead. A steal by JoJo White followed, and White fed Pierce for a dunk to extend the lead to five. After an Adrian Dantley miss, Pierce drove the lane and got the layup plus a foul on Bill Laimbeer, completing the three-point play to give Kansas a lead they wouldn't give back.
"It's like my man [Kevin Garnett] says, anything is possible. We feel we can win it all, man," Pierce said after the game. "If Wilt [Chamberlain] is having a bad day, I can step up, Joel [Embiid] can step up, JoJo [White] can step up... we got options!"
Austin Carr led the Irish with 15 points.
#16 Maryland 71, #17 DePaul 66. George Mikan was rested and ready to go. Unfortunately, so was Len Bias.
Bias scored 22 points to lead all scorers and outduel Mikan (20 points) as the Terrapins (9-3) defeated the Blue Demons (8-4) in the final non-conference game for both teams.
"Len is our spark plug," coach Gary Williams said after the game. "When he gets an open floor, he's hard to beat. We're glad to have him on our team."
Mikan, who played sparingly in the previous game against Rhode Island, was a monster underneath in the halfcourt set. He went 9-13 from the field (2-2 from the line) and added 14 rebounds and 5 blocks. However, Bias was able to get around Mikan on multiple occasions for dunks, and sixth man John Lucas II made a critical three to provide the final score.
"They're good," Mikan admitted. "We're going to take these lessons and prep for the Big East."
#14 Arizona 90, #7 Syracuse 53. When the week began, Syracuse was 8-1 and looked like they could compete with the two Super Five teams in the ACC. Now, questions abound.
Jason Terry and Richard Jefferson each had 25 points as the Wildcats (9-3) sent the Orange (8-4) to their third straight defeat, all against Top 25 competition -- and all against the Pac-12.
"We're not taking anyone lightly," coach Jim Boeheim insisted. "The Pac-12 is a powerful conference. We just had a bad week. We're going to be drilling extra hard in practice to prepare for the ACC season."
Syracuse used their usual 2-3 zone, which discourages going inside and dares three-point shooters to hit their shots. But Terry and Jefferson did that, leading a barrage (with help from Mike Bibby and Steve Kerr) of 15-27 shooting from long-range.
"We just didn't miss," Jefferson said, amused. "We were all dialed in. Heat checks were going in. Everything worked."
Louisville 72, #22 Florida 59. It looks like Florida's stay in the Top 25 won't be repeated.
Donovan Mitchell had 19 points and 6 assists as the Cardinals (9-3) upset the Gators (8-4) to make a statement about their place in the ACC pecking order... and perhaps the Top 25 itself.
"Oh, we definitely belong," Mitchell said when asked. "You look at how we started the year, you look at who we beat; we deserve the recognition that teams like Duke and [North] Carolina do. ACC ain't all about Tobacco Road."
Gators coach Billy Donovan was disappointed in his team's effort. "We're capable of playing better, especially when we get the looks we got today," he said. "You can't do that against teams like Kentucky and Tennessee and expect to get away with it."
Bradley Beal led the Gators with 14 points.
Houston 80, #23 Iowa 67. Rumors of Houston's demise appear to be exaggerated. Iowa, meanwhile, may not be as strong as they looked.
Hakeem Olajuwon went for 21 points, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 4 steals as the Cougars (9-3) jumped out to a 20-point lead by halftime and held on to beat the Hawkeyes (8-4) in the final non-conference game for both teams.
"Now that's more like it," coach Guy Lewis said of Olajuwon's performance. "We're a dangerous team when we click on all cylinders, and Hakeem is a big cylinder. We look ready for Big XII play now."
"We dug ourselves too deep of a hole," Hawkeye forward Connie Hawkins said after the game. "We need to start better and we need to finish better."
California 83, #20 Minnesota 75. The Pac-12 hopes to get more than three bids this season. If it's going to happen, teams like California have to step up the way they did today.
Jason Kidd had 17 points and Shareef Abdur-Rahim had 11 with 6 blocks as the Golden Bears (9-3) took out the Golden Gophers (8-4) in a battle of "golden" teams in the Big 10-Pac 12 rivalry.
"I love how Jason plays," Bears coach Pete Newell said after the game. "But I'm really proud of the progress Shareef has made. Today he dominated the paint on defense, and that's how we were able to get the W."
With Cal up 4 and a minute to go, Abdur-Rahim blocked a Mychal Thompson layup attempt. The scramble went to Archie Clark, who found Kevin McHale underneath. However, Abdur-Rahim blocked the dunk attempt, and Kevin Johnson ran the ball out to get fouled and begin the march to the free throw line.
"Everyone had a good game, and we had a good game," Johnson said.
*****
#24 UNLV 70, Princeton 66. In the mid-major non-conference game of the season, it was thought that Princeton's best chance was to keep UNLV from making it a full-court game. Add some three-pointers, and they could steal a win.
That's almost what happened. But talent won out in the end.
Shawn Marion led all scorers with 17 points as the Runnin' Rebels (8-4) held off the Tigers (7-5) in a game between two of the top mid-majors in the country.
"You gotta give them a ton of credit," coach Jerry Tarkanian said after the game. "Princeton is a team that doesn't lose easily. They're going to be a tough out down the line if, no, when they make the Dance."
With both teams trying to play at their more comfortable pace -- Princeton's average possession was about nine seconds longer than UNLV's -- it was play underneath that kept the Tigers alive. Bill Bradley and John Hummer each had 17 points as Sidney Green was unable to keep up defensively. But in the final seconds, Larry Johnson and Armen Gilliam denied inbound passes, forcing Brian Taylor to put up a three-pointer. It missed, and Reggie Theus' two free throws made the final score.
"So close and yet so far," Bradley told reporters.

Welcome back to the legacy of TWICE! This is a series which highlights the iconic girl-group's journey (music, achievements, sales, charting etc.) over the years. I have also included some of my own thoughts on their music and career in these posts and would love to hear any thoughts you guys have as well!
The previous parts of this series that I posted in twice can be found here: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6

2021

TWICE started the beginning of the year 2021 by greeting us with a spellbinding performance of Depend on You, as part of Time 100 Talks series held by Time magazine.
They would then hold their 2nd online concert "Twice in Wonderland" on March 6^th. It is here that they announced the release of the song, which would go on to make ONCE everywhere lose control of their heart and soul.
Kura Kura - Released on May 12th, 2021

Kura Kura	Strawberry Moon

Recommendations and Thoughts

• Kura Kura - It's MV is one of the most visually stunning things I have seen in K-pop. There are many moments in the video where you can pause and it would feel like you are looking at a photo displayed in an exhibition. The song itself is a beautifully sung track, full of energy, that you can loop forever!
• Strawberry Moon - There is a theory that I have made up in my mind, which I call the "TWICE Treasure Hunt". This theory states that whenever TWICE creates a truly amazing Japanese song, they will bury it under single album releases, so that the only people to find it would be the most avid fans. I believe Strawberry Moon was one of the songs picked for the TWICE treasure hunt (amongst others like Scorpion, Catch a Wave etc.). This song is the definition of catchy! There is this perfect way in which the song flows, the way in which it transitions from the voice of one member to the other, that makes the song just perfect! Nayeon's first line in the pre-chorus especially stands out to me (Ano shunkan de toki wo tometeta), due to how beautiful it sounds.

​
Soon after this, JYP Entertainment announced the group's upcoming mini-album, slated to be released in June 2021. Before the release, TWICE appeared on the Kelly Clarkson Show and gave a powerful performance for their 2020 hit Cry for Me.
June arrived, meaning it was now time for TWICE to take over summer, and for us to go ...... Alcohol-Free?!
Taste of Love - Released on June 11^th, 2021

Alcohol-Free	First Time	Scandal
Conversation	Baby Blue Love	SOS

Lyrics contribution: Dahyun - Scandal, SOS ; Jihyo - First Time; Sana - Conversation; Nayeon - Baby Blue Love
Charting and Sales
The album would earn them their them their 1st top 10 charting in the Billboard 200, debuting at #6. With this, Twice became the first female Korean act to chart an EP within the top 10 of the Billboard 200, and just the second female Korean act to have a top 10 album in the chart.
The album recorded a total of 530,000 pre-order sales, debuted on the weekly Gaon Album Chart at #2 and claimed the #1 spot on both Billboard World Albums and Top Album Sales charts.
The lead single Alcohol-Free attained peaks of #6 on the Gaon Digital Chart and #7 on the K-pop Hot 100 Chart.
Recommendations and Thoughts

• Alcohol-Free - Aah yes, our generation's summer anthem! This song has a uncanny effect of making me feel bright and happy, anytime I listen to it. It literally embodies the spirit of the summer season in its lyrics, in its instrumentals, in its music video, and in everything else. Alcohol-Free is appropriately shot at Korea's favorite holiday destination Jeju Island. The MV features the members bathed in sunlight, surrounded by bright summery colors and an assortment of gorgeous looking drinks! This, coupled with the song's bossa-nova sounds make it such a joyful and refreshing experience to watch!

Wishing everyone listening to this song a very happy summer, full of mimosas and pina-coladas :P

• Scandal - A literal masterpiece with one of the best pre-choruses in K-pop! That's how I can describe this song. It has a sort of relaxed but also slightly sultry feel to it and when the pre-chorus hits, it just puts you in a trance! The way it builds and the way it ends is all soo perfect, and I hope people unfamiliar with the song would give it a listen. It's brilliant!
• SOS - A very catchy and vibey B-side. Worth a listen!

​
The group would keep their momentum going (typical TWICE!), and in the very next month would release their 3rd Japanese studio album titled:
Perfect World - Released on July 28^th, 2021

Perfect World	Better	Good at Love
Fanfare	Kura Kura	Four-leaf Clover
In the Summer	Pieces of Love	Thank You, Family
Promise

Charting and Sales
The album debuted at #2 on the Oricon Album Chart and #1 on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums Chart.
Recommendations and Thoughts

• Perfect World - Now this one is a powerful and hard hitting song!! There are no soft portions or slow elements, the song just goes "BAM! Here you go!!" . True to the theme, the members also deliver the performance for this song with an unparalleled level of swagger and attitude! My reaction when I first heard Perfect World is actually perfectly displayed in the MV itself, where people are freaking out and losing their mind, as they watch TWICE performs on a burning stage.
• Thank You, Family & Promise - If you are amongst the small minority of K-pop fans who like soft, vocal-focused songs and ballads, then these are the songs for you. These songs feel very soothing and calming to me, and help me just appreciate the members' beautiful vocals. These songs don't try to incorporate too many elements that compete for your attention, they just keep it nice and simple and help you appreciate what is presented to you.

​
With the schedule for Perfect World wrapped up, it was now time for TWICE to establish themselves as a global powerhouse and solidify their footprint in the west. And how would they go about doing it? Well, the answer to that could be found in a prom invitation titled:
The Feels - released on October 1^st, 2021
Charting and Sales
The Feels would become TWICE's first song to chart on the Billiboard Hot 100, debuting at #83. It would also feature on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at #80, on the Billboard Global 200 at #12, on the Canadian Hot 100 at #56 and on #3 on both the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and Oricon's Combined Singles Chart.
It accumulated 50.9 million global streams and 8,800 global downloads in its very first week. In the United States alone, the song garnered 4.7 million streams, 208,000 radio impressions, and 10,400 digital sales in its first week.
Thoughts
This is a true TWICE song! If I had never listened to it before and someone gave me 4 guesses about the artist, I would guess TWICE all 4 times. This song has every element that had made me fall in love with their music for the first time. It is energetic, upbeat and happy, it's MV is bright and poppy, it has a memorable choreography and it has those very short rap verses that always add a little more fun to the song.
There is nothing more I could say, The Feels is as true to the TWICE theme as one can get and I love TWICE, hence I love this song!
​
The group would then begin preparations of their next release:- for an album which would become one of their most successful, critically acclaimed and widely loved works (and which would start a chain of countless restocking demands from fans :P). I'm of course talking about their 3rd Korean studio album, titled:-
Formula of Love: O+T=＜3 - released on November 12th, 2021

Scientist	Moonlight	Icon
Cruel	Real You	F.I.L.A. (Fall in Love Again)
Last Waltz	Espresso	Rewind
Cactus	Push & Pull (Jihyo, Sana, Dahyun)	Hello (Nayeon, Momo, Chaeyoung)
1, 3, 2 (Jeongyeon, Mina, Tzuyu)	Candy	The Feels

Lyrics contribution: Dahyun - Cruel ; Jihyo - Real You, Cactus; Nayeon - Fall in Love Again
Charting and Sales
FOL was a massive success, garnering a surplus of 700,000 pre-order sales, making it TWICE's highest selling album till then. The album charted at #3 on the Billboard 200, marking a new peak for the group and it also continued its charting for 8 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200.
It also debuted at #1 on South Korea's Gaon Album Chart, making it Twice's tenth number-one album on the chart. In Japan, it peaked at #17 on Billboard Japan's Hot Albums chart and at #2 on Oricon's Albums Chart. It also peaked at #1 on the Billboard World Album chart and #2 on Billboard Top Album Sales chart.
In Europe, the album appeared on Belgium's Ultratop Flanders and Wallonia 200 Albums, Finland's Top 50 Albums, Lithuania's Top 100 Albums, the Netherlands' Album Top 100, and the UK's Album Downloads Chart.
Recommendations and Thoughts

• Scientist - It's just a very fun and quirky song! I know the community opinion may not be in its favor, but to me, its still very enjoyable!
• Icon - This is their most badass song till date!! The lyrics are unapologetic, hard-hitting and frankly brilliant! This, coupled with the amazing synth music and the insane drop - "I ain't going nowhere, I'm an icon; When all them other nobodies are long gone", makes this song truly iconic!! Mina herself said that the song is about expressing the iconic side of you without hesitation and it honestly can't be described any better. Icon is definitely one of my favorite B-Sides of all time.
• Last Waltz - I don't know what it is about Latin music inspired K-pop songs that make me love them so much, I just know that I do! "Mm-mm-mm-mm (My la-a-ast); Mm-mm-mm-mm (My la-a-ast); Meomchuji malgo just let it flo-o-ow" and the bridge portion after has gripped me since the first time I listened to it, and it will not be going away anytime soon!
• 1, 3, 2 (Jeongyeon, Mina, Tzuyu) - Their three voices mesh together unbelievably well, to create something which I can only describe as art. This song honestly made me realize how parts of a song being distributed between multiple people, rather than being sung by a single person, can help improve the song so much. It probably won't happen, but I'm praying for a JeongMiTzu subunit in the future.
• F.I.L.A. (Fall in Love Again) - A really chill and catchy dance song!

​
It was finally December and time for another year to come to an end. TWICE must have thought that they should wrap the year with a bang, because they went and released a banger!
Doughnut - released on December 15th, 2021

Doughnut	Wonderful Day

Charting and Sales
Doughnut peaked at #3 on the Oricon singles chart and at #6 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100
Recommendations and Thoughts

• Doughnut - This is my favorite Japanese release by TWICE and one of my favorite songs of all time.

1. The song is a soft, city-pop ballad, but is interjected by powerful high notes between verses and in the bridge. This makes it so that your mind is engaged with beautiful vocals throughout the song but as soon as those high notes hit, it pulls your attention instantly and makes you realize what you have been listening to, before transitioning back to the soothing and beautiful tones. This creates a highly unique and amazing listening experience and makes the song so memorable.
2. The MV encapsulates the winter theme perfectly, with the beautiful ice themed set, the snow special effects and with the members looking like angels. When this is coupled with the song itself, it makes you feel like you are watching a fairy tale set in a winter wonderland. It's just perfect!

Awards, Achievements and Recognitions

• TWICE secured 4 music show wins for Alcohol Free and 2 music show wins for Scientist.
• TWICE became the first Korean female act to debut chart an EP in the top 10 of the Billboard 200.
• The Feels became TWICE's first song to chart in the Billboard Hot 100.

Welcome back to the legacy of TWICE! This is a series which highlights the iconic girl-group's journey (music, achievements, sales, charting etc.) over the years. I have also included some of my own thoughts on their music and career in these posts and would love to hear any thoughts you guys have as well!
The previous parts of this series that I posted in kpopthoughts can be found here: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6

2021

TWICE started the beginning of the year 2021 by greeting us with a spellbinding performance of Depend on You, as part of Time 100 Talks series held by Time magazine.
They would then hold their 2nd online concert "Twice in Wonderland" on March 6^th. It is here that they announced the release of the song, which would go on to make ONCE everywhere lose control of their heart and soul.
Kura Kura - Released on May 12th, 2021

Kura Kura	Strawberry Moon

Recommendations and Thoughts

• Kura Kura - It's MV is one of the most visually stunning things I have seen in K-pop. There are many moments in the video where you can pause and it would feel like you are looking at a photo displayed in an exhibition. The song itself is a beautifully sung track, full of energy, that you can loop forever!
• Strawberry Moon - There is a theory that I have made up in my mind, which I call the "TWICE Treasure Hunt". This theory states that whenever TWICE creates a truly amazing Japanese song, they will bury it under single album releases, so that the only people to find it would be the most avid fans. I believe Strawberry Moon was one of the songs picked for the TWICE treasure hunt (amongst others like Scorpion, Catch a Wave etc.). This song is the definition of catchy! There is this perfect way in which the song flows, the way in which it transitions from the voice of one member to the other, that makes the song just perfect! Nayeon's first line in the pre-chorus especially stands out to me (Ano shunkan de toki wo tometeta), due to how beautiful it sounds.

​
Soon after this, JYP Entertainment announced the group's upcoming mini-album, slated to be released in June 2021. Before the release, TWICE appeared on the Kelly Clarkson Show and gave a powerful performance for their 2020 hit Cry for Me.
June arrived, meaning it was now time for TWICE to take over summer, and for us to go ...... Alcohol-Free?!
Taste of Love - Released on June 11^th, 2021

Alcohol-Free	First Time	Scandal
Conversation	Baby Blue Love	SOS

Lyrics contribution: Dahyun - Scandal, SOS ; Jihyo - First Time; Sana - Conversation; Nayeon - Baby Blue Love
Charting and Sales
The album would earn them their them their 1st top 10 charting in the Billboard 200, debuting at #6. With this, Twice became the first female Korean act to chart an EP within the top 10 of the Billboard 200, and just the second female Korean act to have a top 10 album in the chart.
The album recorded a total of 530,000 pre-order sales, debuted on the weekly Gaon Album Chart at #2 and claimed the #1 spot on both Billboard World Albums and Top Album Sales charts.
The lead single Alcohol-Free attained peaks of #6 on the Gaon Digital Chart and #7 on the K-pop Hot 100 Chart.
Recommendations and Thoughts

• Alcohol-Free - Aah yes, our generation's summer anthem! This song has a uncanny effect of making me feel bright and happy, anytime I listen to it. It literally embodies the spirit of the summer season in its lyrics, in its instrumentals, in its music video, and in everything else. Alcohol-Free is appropriately shot at Korea's favorite holiday destination Jeju Island. The MV features the members bathed in sunlight, surrounded by bright summery colors and an assortment of gorgeous looking drinks! This, coupled with the song's bossa-nova sounds make it such a joyful and refreshing experience to watch!

Wishing everyone listening to this song a very happy summer, full of mimosas and pina-coladas :P

• Scandal - A literal masterpiece with one of the best pre-choruses in K-pop! That's how I can describe this song. It has a sort of relaxed but also slightly sultry feel to it and when the pre-chorus hits, it just puts you in a trance! The way it builds and the way it ends is all soo perfect, and I hope people unfamiliar with the song would give it a listen. It's brilliant!
• SOS - A very catchy and vibey B-side. Worth a listen!

​
The group would keep their momentum going (typical TWICE!), and in the very next month would release their 3rd Japanese studio album titled:
Perfect World - Released on July 28^th, 2021

Perfect World	Better	Good at Love
Fanfare	Kura Kura	Four-leaf Clover
In the Summer	Pieces of Love	Thank You, Family
Promise

Charting and Sales
The album debuted at #2 on the Oricon Album Chart and #1 on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums Chart.
Recommendations and Thoughts

• Perfect World - Now this one is a powerful and hard hitting song!! There are no soft portions or slow elements, the song just goes "BAM! Here you go!!" . True to the theme, the members also deliver the performance for this song with an unparalleled level of swagger and attitude! My reaction when I first heard Perfect World is actually perfectly displayed in the MV itself, where people are freaking out and losing their mind, as they watch TWICE performs on a burning stage.
• Thank You, Family & Promise - If you are amongst the small minority of K-pop fans who like soft, vocal-focused songs and ballads, then these are the songs for you. These songs feel very soothing and calming to me, and help me just appreciate the members' beautiful vocals. These songs don't try to incorporate too many elements that compete for your attention, they just keep it nice and simple and help you appreciate what is presented to you.

​
With the schedule for Perfect World wrapped up, it was now time for TWICE to establish themselves as a global powerhouse and solidify their footprint in the west. And how would they go about doing it? Well, the answer to that could be found in a prom invitation titled:
The Feels - released on October 1^st, 2021
Charting and Sales
The Feels would become TWICE's first song to chart on the Billiboard Hot 100, debuting at #83. It would also feature on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at #80, on the Billboard Global 200 at #12, on the Canadian Hot 100 at #56 and on #3 on both the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and Oricon's Combined Singles Chart.
It accumulated 50.9 million global streams and 8,800 global downloads in its very first week. In the United States alone, the song garnered 4.7 million streams, 208,000 radio impressions, and 10,400 digital sales in its first week.
Thoughts
This is a true TWICE song! If I had never listened to it before and someone gave me 4 guesses about the artist, I would guess TWICE all 4 times. This song has every element that had made me fall in love with their music for the first time. It is energetic, upbeat and happy, it's MV is bright and poppy, it has a memorable choreography and it has those very short rap verses that always add a little more fun to the song.
There is nothing more I could say, The Feels is as true to the TWICE theme as one can get and I love TWICE, hence I love this song!
​
The group would then begin preparations of their next release:- for an album which would become one of their most successful, critically acclaimed and widely loved works (and which would start a chain of countless restocking demands from fans :P). I'm of course talking about their 3rd Korean studio album, titled:-

Recommendations and Thoughts

• Scientist - It's just a very fun and quirky song! I know the community opinion may not be in its favor, but to me, its still very enjoyable!
• Icon - This is their most badass song till date!! The lyrics are unapologetic, hard-hitting and frankly brilliant! This, coupled with the amazing synth music and the insane drop - "I ain't going nowhere, I'm an icon; When all them other nobodies are long gone", makes this song truly iconic!! Mina herself said that the song is about expressing the iconic side of you without hesitation and it honestly can't be described any better. Icon is definitely one of my favorite B-Sides of all time.
• Last Waltz - I don't know what it is about Latin music inspired K-pop songs that make me love them so much, I just know that I do! "Mm-mm-mm-mm (My la-a-ast); Mm-mm-mm-mm (My la-a-ast); Meomchuji malgo just let it flo-o-ow" and the bridge portion after has gripped me since the first time I listened to it, and it will not be going away anytime soon!
• 1, 3, 2 (Jeongyeon, Mina, Tzuyu) - Their three voices mesh together unbelievably well, to create something which I can only describe as art. This song honestly made me realize how parts of a song being distributed between multiple people, rather than being sung by a single person, can help improve the song so much. It probably won't happen, but I'm praying for a JeongMiTzu subunit in the future.
• F.I.L.A. (Fall in Love Again) - A really chill and catchy dance song!

​
It was finally December and time for another year to come to an end. TWICE must have thought that they should wrap the year with a bang, because they went and released a banger!
Doughnut - released on December 15th, 2021

Doughnut	Wonderful Day

Charting and Sales
Doughnut peaked at #3 on the Oricon singles chart and at #6 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100
Recommendations and Thoughts

• Doughnut - This is my favorite Japanese release by TWICE and one of my favorite songs of all time.

1. The song is a soft, city-pop ballad, but is interjected by powerful high notes between verses and in the bridge. This makes it so that your mind is engaged with beautiful vocals throughout the song but as soon as those high notes hit, it pulls your attention instantly and makes you realize what you have been listening to, before transitioning back to the soothing and beautiful tones. This creates a highly unique and amazing listening experience and makes the song so memorable.
2. The MV encapsulates the winter theme perfectly, with the beautiful ice themed set, the snow special effects and with the members looking like angels. When this is coupled with the song itself, it makes you feel like you are watching a fairy tale set in a winter wonderland. It's just perfect!

Awards, Achievements and Recognitions

• TWICE secured 4 music show wins for Alcohol Free and 2 music show wins for Scientist.
• TWICE became the first Korean female act to debut chart an EP in the top 10 of the Billboard 200.

Thanks for reading! Please feel free to discuss and share your thoughts on TWICE's 2021, and what music/events you liked most from that time.

Hello, I've been looking into ar resonance mouthpieces for quite some time now, and I think I have a pretty good idea of what I want. I'm lead trumpet player in my high schools jazz band a concert band as well as marching band. So I want to be able to play high notes and low notes as easily as possilbe. But still be able to produce a loud and full sound for marching band season. I dont want it to be like a screamer mouthpiece but I want it to not restrict me in my playing and be well rounded for everything. Heres what I've currently picked out from their website, does anyone have any suggestions for anything that I should change, im pretty new to mouthpieces and what each part mean but I think i have a pretty good idea (thanks in advance):

Now that the 22-23 Premier League season is over (thankfully), it's time to announce the /Everton Prediction League winners!
Before we continue, one quick clarification: only folks who made 15 or more predictions were considered for any of the awards below.
Without further ado, let's get right into it!

Least Optimistic Evertonian

The award for least optimistic (read: most realistic?) Evertonian goes to... littlebeanbag!
Out of their 35 predictions this year, 34 were for losses. If Everton had performed as they predicted, we would've ended up with 3 points in total. I'm quite glad it didn't work out that way.
That being said, they were far from the only pessimist in the subreddit! Let's have a look at the top 10 pessimists this year:

User	Predicted Wins	Predicted Draws	Predicted Losses	Predicted GD	Predicted Points
littlebeanbag	1	0	34	-70	3

Pretend_Gap_4114	5	1	9	-6	16
leftblue	3	8	20	-38	17

Most Optimistic Evertonian

The award for most optimistic (read: least realistic?) Evertonian goes to... ubiquitous_archer!
Out of their 36 predictions this year, 23 were for wins, 13 for draws, and a big fat 0 for losses. If things had worked out that way (I wish!), Everton would've ended the season with at least 82 points, which would put us in at least 3rd (and at most, 2nd). I'm quite sad it didn't work out that way :(
Overall though, we had quite a few people predict lots of wins despite all the evidence presented to them on a weekly basis (myself included)! Let's have a look at the top 10 optimists this year:

User	Predicted Wins	Predicted Draws	Predicted Losses	Predicted GD	Predicted Points
ubiquitous_archer	23	13	0	32	82

While it's interesting to see who was the most/least optimistic Evertonian, the goal of this league was to be at the top of the points table by the end of the season.
It was a fairly tight race right up until the end of the season, to the point where I was starting to consider whether or not to implement some sort of tiebreaker. Thankfully, the winner ended up pulling away in the last two games with two predictions that matched the real-life results.
The winner of the 22-23 /Everton Prediction League is... Reco84!
With 9 exact score predictions (worth 3 points each) and 9 predictions with the correct outcome (worth 1 point each), they won the league with a total of 36 points. Congratulations!
Here is this year's final top 10:

User	Correct Scores	Correct Outcome	Total Points
Reco84	9	9	36
WRDEFC	8	6	30
paparichy	5	14	29
deej_94	6	11	29

Thanks!

The predictions league was fun, but I wouldn't have done it if /Everton wasn't a fun community to be a part of. Thanks for giving me a place to vent, dream, and talk anything/everything Everton!
Congrats again to the winners!

This got censored on the WOTLK Classic Reddit so I'm hoping I can post this here.
Going into Season 7 of the WOTLK PvP season we need to have a serious talk about cheating with third-party programs such as AHK (Auto Hot Key) and I'll like to share my knowledge on the subject and the importance of a public statement from Blizzard going forward.
Excuse me for using shooting games as an example but I think there's some important information here I can translate over.
​
For those of you unaware of the current situation should read this, otherwise skip to the next line of text. Throughout the First WOTLK PvP season, aka season 5, the majority of players to my knowledge, including myself were unaware of the players of the private servers coming to our WOTLK Classic with what I would refer to as 'soft cheats.' Soft cheats. Cheats only give you a small advantage and are harder to detect. In the case of WOTLK, players use this to spam click their buttons for them to perfectly execute their rotation exactly when it goes off cooldown. If you wish to see more I recommend you check this thread posted earlier. https://www.reddit.com/classicwow/comments/12xriyb/wotlk_arena_and_cheaters
​
A few years back I was very into a shooting game called Rust & and throughout my experience with this game I've encountered cheating of all types. I could not believe throughout my time playing this game, this cheating-related issue never really got fixed despite the popularity of the game. I also heard how it was just as bad in Counter-Strike. This lead me on a personal journey to investigate how this worked out of curiosity.
​
Players' reputation in Rust depends on the number of hours they've played in the game as there's no ranked or arena setting for players to verify their skill. I also notices a different style of sketchiness depending on what type of account I suspected of cheating.
there seemed to be a common pattern of players with few hours in the game often being throwout accounts with no other games purchased on Steam for people using strong hacks. Strong hacks as in everything you can think of. See-through walls, 0 recoils, gun snapping to someone's head, and 3x head shotting them to instant death.
Accounts using Hard cheats usually get banned pretty quickly, which is why soft cheating as I'll like to call it is "smarter" if you do not wish to get banned. Soft cheating such as Scripts to manually do the recoil for you (or simply help with some of it) and only turn on the actual hacks for short periods or when needed.
​
Rust is a game where you gather gear like in Minecraft. Dying late-game is like losing a fully enchanted diamond armor and in Rust there was a common pattern where the more important the fight was the more sketchy the fights became, as you'll lose everything when you die. Here you have the regular normal players, the throwaway accounts which was obviously hacking, and the 1+ hour players who often knew exactly when to strike and just seemed to have their fights be a little too convenient for them, which is what I am referring to as Soft hacking. The fight is important so they have 1 player turn on GPS telling them how many and where other teams are, and the rest are either good on their own, or all have an aim helper to soften the worst of their gun recoil.
​
How is this related to WoW? Well In WoW I believe the automatic system is good enough to detect actual hard hacks, but not what I would refer to as soft cheats. Soft cheating is using Third-Party programs to advance your gameplay just a little to get an advantage & possibly not turned on all the time, just when you need it.
​
Let's say we'll like to make a Kick-bot. Well, how would we do that without being detected? Well, you gotta be smart. You don't need to kick a spell when you're in high health or they are, but what if it's only in use below 30%? Seems like a pretty good time to make it so that your kick-bot won't fuckup, wouldn't it? I do not know if kick-bots are a thing currently, but I've heard various friends talk about them lately and how someone has been buying them as well as the AHK scripts.
​
The guns in Rust & Counter-Strike have recoil patterns that are always the same, making them extremely easy to script with programs such as AHK. You can learn to do them manually, somewhat, but you'll only be able to do so if you practice them often and use them often enough to keep up a decent muscle memory for it. However, there is also another thing closely related to this which I would like to point out. Mouse-Macros for something as simple as spam clicking.
​
In any shooter game, you'll have guns that require you to spam-click your mouse. Such an "issue" is easily dealt with by making a mouse macro to do it for you. Originally I did not think this was a big deal, but I kept having issues with fighting players shooting Semi-Automatic-Rifles like they were AK-47s and I know they were cheating with at least a mouse macro to do so because you can literally hear the shooting pattern having 0 pauses between each shot. After 2k hours of legit rust, I decided to finally go try a mouse Macro on a shooting practice server just to see what it was like. What I discovered was insane.
​
Normally when you spam-click and have to control your re-coil you have to multitask, but being able to hold down a button and only focus on the gun recoil, It was suddenly much easier to control my re-coil because I no longer had to multitask, and I knew my gun was always firing at Max-Speed. I was speechless at just how easy this was to do and how much of an advantage it gave, plus I got really curious if any other game I've played with had the same in them. The majority of them did also allow a mouse macro, but I did see 1 game that automatically locked my gun if I had an inhuman amount of clicks, which is exactly what AHK players are currently doing. Meaning that Blizzard is possibly able to do the same if they don't wish to ban it which I think they should.
​
This leads me further into this conversation. I'm playing a warrior and I sure as hell can find my hand getting fucked when playing long matches of 2v2 if I do not remind myself often not to spam-click my buttons as hard as I do sometimes. I do believe that this is a flaw in the game's design. I'm currently ranked 2 Arms in the world https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/characteeu/earthshakenexolez a R1 retail player and WOTLK Gladiator in both seasons. I do not use any Third-Party-Programms and would highly prefer never to.
I do however have an advantage over the majority of players as I've been lucky to end up playing WoW with 20 ms. I'm also aware of what Lag-Tolerance is which to my knowledge majority of WOTLK players are unaware of, while every hardcore Retail player knows what is.
​
​
TLDR: Your spells are currently delayed due to the high default lag tolerance set to 400. I recommend you check this thread for more information. https://www.reddit.com/wow/comments/624y53/attn_custom_lag_tolerance_was_automatically_set
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU CHECK THIS IF YOU WISH TO INCREASE DPS EVEN IN PVE. Or simply google WoW lag tolerance yourself.
​
​
Luckily I got myself a recording of a player admitting to using AHK which made me curious as to how much faster he was casting his spells. To my surprise, I couldn't catch a difference between a player standing still and spamming his abilities. Skip to the end if you're not interested in the context. https://youtu.be/Fr9PNG7YN-o
​
Upon discovering this, It made me wonder exactly what kind of advantage players are getting from using this, as it apparently seems to "feel" better or whatever to those using it. I think my example from earlier with the Gun-Macro to auto-spam-click is the perfect example. If you do not have to spam click your buttons and the AHK does it for you, you'll not have to visually check if your abilities go off and therefore your focus can be used elsewhere. But this is not where I think it benefits players the most.
​
I can tell you as a PvP warrior the hardest place to DPS right now is when players try to hug pillars & run around them or to dead-zone you. (Dead-zoning means to deny both your charge & auto attack at the same time by finding a perfect spot in-between.) I find myself often not landing my abilities because I did not manage to click my abilities in the perfect short gap in which I could, which is where I see AHK's advantages shine like a motherfucker.
​
If I knew that soft cheating, as I call it would be a thing interfering with WOTLK PvP I would never have started to play WOTLK, and it only makes me wonder how much of it we have in TBC that I was unaware of.
​
I made this post to spread information & awareness on this topic for Blizzard to take it more seriously. I've always seen the World of Warcraft as a game where cheating wasn't an issue. I've never had my experience ruined by players using Third-Party Programs as far as I know & Third Party Programs have always been against Blizzard TOS.
More importantly however, if Blizzard decides not to ban AHK due to whatever reason, I want them to publicly make a statement so every player out here playing legit and awaiting justice knows that we'll need to get it too if we want to play on an equal playing field. I feel abandoned by Blizzard more than ever on an issue that is important to a small part of blizzards community, but still an important part of it.
​
The season has just ended and we have just been given a 3-week break from the arena which is the season's end time Blizzard usually uses to check through the PvP ladder & ban players. Blizzard still seemed to take TBC seriously enough to at least ban piloting. and I hope that Blizzard steps up this time and makes an example out of players, including streamers known for using AHK & whatever else might be out there.
​
I personally think if Blizzard does not handle this situation currently, it'll set a precedent for their poor future in the competitive scene.
​
Thanks for reading if you got this far. At the end of the day, I think it's important to wake up and be able to look at yourself in the mirror and respect what you see. I'll like to thank all of you who avoided this temptation to cheat and kept the game real. Thank you. <3
