More Eaglez!
Eaglez are not only relatively scattered geographically but in terms of online platforms--as in, I think a lot of Russian-speaking Eaglez are on VK, which has a bad reputation among Russian-ignorant online writers. (For those of you who, like me, stopped using LiveJournal as a primary platform after its Russian parent company updated the terms of service in a way that didn’t sit right with the Russian-ignorant? VK has the same parent company.) That said, I can at least tell you where to find a few fellow fans.
People You’ve Already Met If You’ve Been Reading Along This Week: I interviewed translation site International_EaglZ (YouTube / Instagram) and reaction-video creator Fatima Bile (YouTube / Instagram). Also the fantastic Tumblr user @qisforqazaq (which is dedicated to Q-pop in general, not just Ninety One) has been doing me, and you, an invaluable service by contributing opinions and fact-checking to every post. (Seriously, y’all, check the notes. Every post. Check the notes.)
People You Haven’t Met Yet But Need To:
Another consistent (and funny) English-speaking reaction-video maker is Crystal, a.k.a. The Silent Italian (YouTube / Instagram). She also runs the Ninety-One-dedicated Tumblr @azslaysme.
There are quite a few Eaglez on Instagram that I’m not acquainted with, not being on Insta myself, but both Crystal and Fatima told me to say hi to Cay (Instagram; also on Tumblr as @alemofthestars). Hi, Cay! Now go tell your husband to put his shirt back on.
