Hey all, I made a video talking about every Pentatonix album released to date, including their solo material. Check it out if you're interested! Note that while I am a fan, I don't love everything they've done, so be aware that I do criticize some of their more recent material here. I tried not to be too mean or irrational about it though. :)

Disclaimer: Please don't take this as me saying that other groups don't have heart/aren't genuine. This is just me making a sappy post because it's Christmas and I'm in my feelings because Ateez have been a bright spot for me in an otherwise pretty awful year. This is just appreciation for how they now just feel so different and have become such a comfort for me.

Here are 5-ish things I love and adore about Ateez, my ult-of-ults.

1. Their ability to talk about hard subjects that I haven't seen many other idols broach

It's one thing that I struggle with, as someone who's a bit older and didn't fully get into kpop until last year, and one thing that I really appreciate is that not everything is glossed over, and some things that seem a bit unbelievable to me within the culture of kpop aren't just followed without question or exploited. Whether it's San saying 'Ateez should not be your number one priority' or Hongjoong saying 'Yes, a lot of what we do is a competition, and we're not always going to win, and that's okay' + 'As long as at least one person is cheering them on winning doesn't matter'. There are always going to be toxic fans that take things too far, but it's really refreshing to see such a mindset that factors in that everybody is just human. Idols, the fans, everyone. Sure, winning is nice, but does it even matter if you don't actually enjoy what you're doing?

2. No one else's music has hit me this hard in a long time

As I said, this year has been hard. Harder than I really know how to talk about, but there are multiple songs in Ateez discography that have become such comfort for me. One Day At A Time speaks so much to everything that has been going on and the mental state that I've been in for a long time, it's so special to me. God, it's such a simple message but a lot of the time it's exactly what I need to hear.

'Oh you've come so far
We're in this together
Even though we're apart
Won't be for long, won't be for long

We face stormy weather
Rain's pouring but it never lasts
Only gets better from here'

It's literally just what I wish I could hear from anyone. Turbulence has quickly come up to the top of this list, too, along with most songs from Epilogue, Mist and Not Too Late.

3. They're unafraid of featuring or being featured with unexpected artists that they admire

This is something that I thought recently, with Hongjoong bringing out Maddox for a duet version of All About You during his

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

It's been confirmed that Ateez (Jongho, San and Yunho, the 2hosan unit dream team) are going to feature on a collab with their Grammy award winning RCA labelmates Pentatonix. I went through my teens listening to their covers and 'Evolution of...' series on youtube so this is the collab that I never knew I needed but am insanely excited for and proud of? According to press, Pentatonix asked Ateez specifically (I'm 95% sure it's the power of the Leave The Door Open cover)

It feels like a great time for a bit of appreciation for the now undeniable 4th gen vocal kings. So here are 5 times Ateez proved themselves as Undisputed Vocal Kings.

(This is mostly OT8 performance focused, since I could have a whole separate post for units and each of them specifically and could probably wax poetic about Jongho's voice forever)

Star 1117 from the Fellowship Tour + No backing campfire performance

One of their more emotional songs to perform, Star 1117 is their ode to Atiny (With 11/17 being the date that the fandom was officially named). They always knock it out of the park with performances of this song, and you can always tell just how much it means to them.

(If you feel like being broken, feel free to watch any of the fancams from their first Seoul show when they all collectively lose it and become the self-proclaimed 'crybabyteez' it after hearing their home crowd sing it back to them for the first time. Evidence)

Light @ Ep. 2 Showcase

You can take any single performance of Light and know that they're going to kill it. Yunho in particular should just claim this song as his own even though he sings the same couple of lines, they're iconic ones. His vocals are so stable and no joke. Light is one of those songs that really makes you stop and think how gorgeous each of their vocal tones are.

Mist @ Fellowship Tour

Unofficial but unarguably the second best song in Ateez discography (after Take Me Home. And no, I won't take criticism), Mist live performances prove that the song is every bit as ethereal as you want it to be and the members are just as talented as they seem. There's nothing to get an Ateez fan riled up quite like Wooyoung's Mist belt. As an extra here's a [small clip](https://twitter.com/mistinception/status/13862

Do your worst!

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Pilot on me!!

Christopher Walken

And boy are my arms legs.

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Or would that be too forward thinking?

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

When I got home, they were still there.

Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.

I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!

Where ever you left it 🤷‍♀️🤭

And then shook his arm really fast.

(True story, please groan with me.)

You take away their little brooms
