ATINY'S Grandpa Update
Its a little late because unfortunately things got pretty hectic at home, but here's an update, some answered questions, and a little more chaos from Grandpa ATINY!
Grandpa breached containment onto Twitter, so to answer a few questions and show him some videos and posts I made @/grandpateez. He's seen most of your posts and comments and he thinks its all wonderful and hilarious. Especially the Pixar Grandpa comparison ❤ He wants everyone to know he's 100% willing to adopt ATEEZ and ATINY both and he's very happy he could make so many of his new grandchildren smile. He's been giggling away at every comment I've shown him and is absolutely tickled people don't think he's strange or creepy for enjoying kpop.
As a little surprise I've also ordered him a customised hat that says; 'GRANDPA ATINY' which I'm hoping arrives soon so I can give it to him! He really, really loves hats. (If it arrives well I'll be ordering him another for Stray Kids.)
Can Grandpa name them yet?
"Uuhh. The Genshin Impact one. You know, like the statues in your room. He looks like he needs a spear. He had that big glowy sword I want to steal. Long Spoon..... Dan. No, that's wrong. Sam? Sam. See, I can remember one of them!"
(Poor Hongjoong....)
"How many of them are there again?"
(Conclusion: not yet.)
Does Grandpa have a bias?
"Felix."
("Wrong band.")
"Are you sure?"
(Well, you never know with Felix, honestly...)
Would Grandpa go again?
"If we're going to stand in the pits again I think they should provide free camping chairs. But they really are so talented, its an experience that bears repeating. Wait, are they doing shows again? Didn't you say they're all enlisting soon?"
(We Do Not Speak Of That. Traitor!)
Did Grandpa have a favorite song?
"Ice on ma teeth, ice on ma teeth, ice on ma teeth and.... Uhh... Something white.... Something...."
(With more energy) "Ice on ma teeth! Ice on ma teeth!"
(Promptly forgets we're doing a Q&A and wanders off to make some coffee.)
Would Grandpa ever meet them or do a fan call?
"Oh, I don't think I should do one of those. Can you imagine? Expecting some teenage girl and its some wrinkly old man going; 'HIIYAAA!'" (Enthusiastic double-hand waving and gappy grin)
(With how some of the fan calls go, honestly, I think a clueless but enthusiastic old man would actually be a nice break for them.)
Would Grandpa learn any of their choreography?
(Slightly horrified) "Is there a; 'fragile old man' version of any of it?"
What does Grandpa think of ANITEEZ?
(Judgemental squint) "Oh.... So they're all furries....?"
(I cannot defend them.)
Is Grandpa excited for Stray Kids?
"I'm gonna bring my little fold out stool so if you get stuck behind tall people again you can hop up onto the stool and at least you'll be able to sort of see things."
(Sudden pause while the braincell receives a signal.)
"Aha! This is the Felix band, right? That's right, right? And they're the short ones. Like you."
(😐)
If you have any more videos with Grandpa in you'd like him to see or questions for him, he said he's vey happy to see them and answer them. He's been proudly showing all the videos to his friends and bragging about being a VIP at the show and is helping me to set up the perfect display shelves in my room for my new ATEEZ merch.
I'm also fully up for suggestions for videos/episodes/clips to show him! We like to cook and eat together a lot so I'll be playing some ATEEZ videos while we eat 🍽
