omg !! jisung is my bias tooo <3 he and hyunjin r my ults in all of kpop, but i'd say i like jisung more by just a little! 😭 i personally started listening to them casually bc a friend was introducing my to kpop around nov 2021 and i stayed pretty casual until i saw them live literally this time last year and that concert rocked my world so hard i had post-concert depression for like. the most miserable week and a half after. when u said they've pushed the boundaries of ur capacity to love...ME TOOO aughhh you said it so perfectly. my first concert w them i was just so shocked by the amount of love in the venue i felt like my heart was so filled with love it could make me float away like i had a giant love balloon in my body. lots of love in that sentence but i can't describe it any other way lol...that's what skz does to me. and im loving 5 star era ! all the tracks are so good but i love item and collision. what are your favorite skz songs?? from 5 star but also across their discog...kind of an impossible question since all of there music is incredible but i just have to ask ToT. and do u have a favorite out of jisung's skz records/solo tracks??? ^^

omg we have similar biases! my full bias line is jisung > hyunjin > lee know + seungmin extreme bias wrecker (i cannot rank him) 💕 omg 2021 was such a great time to hear skz they were truly shaping their sound during that time, and still are, but the beginnings are always fun! omg they're unbelievably good on stage. born to be performers. so charismatic and energetic and they create an incredible safe space full of love indeed! 🥹 i'm glad you got to see them and experience that hehe... i saw them earlier in march this year 💕 it is the highlight of my whole life methinks...! and i'm so happy you love 5 star era 🥹 part of why i left twitter is because too many people i knew were being negative about it (and it's definitely not a perfect era but it was such a downer to deal with all that on the platform lol) while i personally really love this era! my personal favorites from the album are hall of fame and collision (fnf and topline and item too, but alas, i cant just start listing every track as a favorite can i...). as for my favorite songs i'll just list a few ((excluding 5 star and kr title tracks and solo songs)) off the top of my head but this really isn't me ranking them on a serious level: 19, phobia, winter falls, voices, 0325, b me, ssick, DLMLU, mixtape on track, ex, hero's soup, grow up, hello stranger, booster, domino, chill, scars, can't stop... I WILL STOP HERE ⛔️ and omg #HANgenre... i love all his solo tracks so much but i particularly appreciate run, volcano, and close 🖤 i will throw the same questions back at you. what skz songs do you like? what about han's work? and also, what are your favorite title tracks/eras?

[astralsweetness]

hellooo, i am here to annoy you a little bit with the suju ask game 💙

1, 11, 12, 42, 70, 99, and 100? spill all the details, and add anything you want, i'd love to know :3

This is referring to this post. Yeah sure! Absolutely not annoying me at all, it's fun! I wish more people would talk to me about Suju :( Put beneath a read more cut bcs it will probably be long haha

1. When did you become an ELF? This is sort of hard to quantify, bcs even now I'm not totally sure if I'd consider myself a hardcore enough fan to call myself an "ELF". I first got into Suju when they released Don't Don, bcs that was 100% my shit - rock/metal with a VIOLIN? And a pretty boy screaming??? Bro. So good. When Hangeng inevitably left though I sort of stopped paying attention to them closely - I felt like they were probably going to go through more difficulties and I didn't want to get attached. I kept an eye on Heechul though, bcs I have always loved his voice and tone, whether he's doing screamo in Don't Don or singing rock for M&D or astounding us with rock ballads with Kyunghoon. So if anything I guess I'm not technically an ELF but can classify myself as a Petal since I am definitely a fan of Heechul and always have been. I am only really getting back into them now, so I guess you could say I've been a baby-ELF since Don't Don era and have just never progressed out of that stage haha

11. Your ult bias? & 12. Your bias wrecker? So, @funkywinkyboy and I talked about this recently but I feel like with Suju there aren't ult biases or bias wreckers! I've decided there's a whole different classification for Suju:

The "first and forever bias"

The "they appeared out of nowhere and like a cancerous growth have irrevocably ruined me forever" bias

The "I don't even find them physically/mentally attractive and yet I am drawn to them like a moth to the fucking imploding sun" bias

And then "electron biases" that just float around forever as your little baby (plural) but are not aggravating enough to become the moth to the sun one but also make enough sense that they aren't the cancerous growth one

So if we're following my new classification system lol, Heechul is my first and forever bias, Hyukjae is the cancerous growth bias, Kyuhyun is my moth to the sun bias, and Donghae is my electron bias!

42. Sexiest song or performance? You had to see this coming, considering it's.. well, me, but Hyukjae's VCR from their STYLE tour where he has all the sex toys and bondage equipment and men in heels with floggers chaining him to a bed, etc. That VCR has a grip on my fucking soul. As a domme it is one of my favorite things in the world, and I like the opening performance he does as well, with the chains. You can see the VCR + intro I'm talking about here if you're interested. I am actually in the process of taking screenshots from that VCR and color-correcting them + unblurring them bcs I am so obsessed with it. I'll make one post with them later when I'm done lol, so not gonna add them here 👀 Just gotta keep an eye out for them when I'm done!

70. Funniest or most iconic SuJu moments? God, there's so many. Suju's comedic sense is absolutely phenomenal. Shindong in particular is great at really out of pocket comedic lines. Currently I think my favorite lil moments are Donghae's incessant "Hyukjae~" during their 'Bout You performances, or Leeteuk fighting for his life during No Other while trying to find the camera. Just lil cute things like that I like a lot. Honestly any of the energy of watching Heechul's solo MV behind the scenes too, they're all so unhinged, he just absolutely does not want to be seen as vulnerable and the mental gymnastics he will go through to avoid that is funny lol

99. If SuJu could do anything you wanted, what would you want them to do? (E.g, perform a song live, bring back a member, etc.) I miss Hangeng and Kibum 😭 And ofc Sungmin, but if he was wanted by the group to come back that would have already happened. I feel bad for Kibum bcs he really missed out on all the success Suju had, and Hangeng... just a shitty situation all around for him. I am glad he seems to still be on good terms with the boys tho, and is leading a happy life! Let's see, aside from that... I want SM to do SOMETHING with Zhoumi omg, he wants a Suju-M comeback, give him one :( I also would like a sub-unit with Heechul and Henry doing rock shit, so like.. M&D but with a violin. Obviously that won't ever happen since Henry left but.... pls give me more rock songs! And with violins! ...Man I miss M&D. Pls revive it Heechul, it was so good, I listen to your two albums on repeat still

100. Your favorite thing about SuJu? Burn the Floor? Lmao but seriously, I think my favorite thing about Suju is how they are clearly more than just an idol group. They were originally only supposed to be idols as a sort of back-up to augment their other skills in things like acting and comedy, and it really shows, bcs they excel at those things now too. I love my groups that are attached at the hip and have a close-knit bond that's more than a family, but something about Suju's realistic relationship with one another, where they've grown up and don't always see each other but still (for the most part) get along is nice. It's like being able to see the more realistic side of the industry while still keeping the rose-tinted glasses since they still like one another. You've got to have both to survive I guess - on the one hand you have a group like Pentagon, that will literally waste away into nothingness if they have to be apart from one another, and then on the other hand you've got a group like Suju who is like... I haven't seen one of our members for MONTHS now, I assume he's alive 😂

bias game

tagged by @shadowetienne

You're going to pick 10 of your biases (or as many biases as you have and then fill in the rest of the spots with idols you like) and number them 1-10. Then answer the questions below! Try not to look at the questions before you make your list!

1. jinho (pentagon)

2. cheng xiao (wjsn)

3. johnny (nct)

4. changmin (the boyz)

5. yuri (snsd)

6. hyuna

7. hyungwon (monsta x)

8. jun (seventeen)

9. chungha

10. hyolyn

Questions:

1. Between 7 and 5, who did you bias first?

yuri, although she wasn't my first bias in snsd! i biased her during igab era so 2013, and obviously i only biased hyungwon later (actually in 2016 after i saw him in k.will's mv!)

2. Between 2 and 6, who are you more attached to?

hyuna... my female ult 🥹 i also love cheng xiao dearly, but because i don't really watch dramas or follow cpop idols that closely, it's harder to keep up with her. and hyuna is definitely one of my all time favorite idols ever, i feel very strongly about her

3. If you were to spend the day with either 3 or 1, who would you choose and what would you do?

oof this is tough because both of them are people i would love to spend a day with and i would enjoy talking to them both... but i would have to choose jinho because he's my #1 ult haha. if i can go anywhere in the world and don't have to limit myself for anything, i would go with him to the harry potter studio in london, then go watch a musical with him (probably wicked lol) and if we still have the energy maybe go to a bar or a cafe and just sit and talk hehe

4. What is your favorite physical feature about 9?

her eyes 🥹🥹🥹 idk what it is about them but she has such beautiful eyes imo!! i mean she's gorgeous in general, one of the most beautiful girls ever, but her eyes specifically are so pretty

5. What is your favorite part of 6's personality?

she's soooooo sweet and gentle and cute and loving but also she can give a "idgaf" attitude when needed. but mostly she is just very very sweet

6. If you were to tell 8 anything you wanted, what you would you tell them?

i'm so proud of him, he's so talented in everything he does, he's cute and funny and precious!! moving to korea at a young age and still being active there 8 years into his career with no intention of going back is... wow

7. Between 1 and 2, whose closet would you raid?

i mean obviously cheng xiao because 1. we're the same gender and 2. she has so many pretty designer clothes...... but then she's probably like half my size lol. but idk, jinho doesn't really strike me as a fashion icon lol if it was kino i might have considered it lol

8. What is a style that you want to see 3 try?

musically? basically anything lol but i'm always up for some rock-ish vibes

9. Between 5 and 4, who are you closer to in height?

they're both taller than me (i'm 157) but hyuna is closer (she's 164 and yuri is 167)

10. Between 10 and 9, whose music do you like the best?

ooooh that's a difficult one. i love hyolyn so much, her voice is probably one of my faves for female idols, and she has some songs i'm genuinely obsessed with (dally and layin' low especially) and of course sistar's music was one of my fave discographies... but as a solo artist i think i vibe more with chungha's title tracks 🤔 but then i also didn't listen to all her bsides so idk...

[astraykidz]

my vacation is almost coming to an end (i dread going back to work) and i've had so much fun🥺

my skz bias is chan too!! although often minho finds his way to my heart LOL. oooh i listen to ateez and enhypen and i can name all the members but i don't closely follow them. my ateez biases i would say are woonyoung and san, maybe im biased bcos they're 99 liners too🤭 i like listening to groups i dont usually do just to get a variety of songs to listen to so i've listened to a few from twice, p1harmony and gidle!! they have a good range of songs i like. ALSO XDINARY!! i dont know the names nor do i follow them closely but i love their songs!! they remind me of the songs i listened to during my rock emo era hahahha. it's so cool how you experiment with so many groups!! i've been recently trying to do the same just so i can stop listening to the same 2 songs on repear everyday😩 my ult groups are definitely skz and svt, with txt closely following behind. my ult bias is wonwoo in svt and soobin from txt hehehe. i was never really into girl groups but i've been giving a few groups a listen like le sserafim, newjeans and ive. they do have a few songs i like but i very casually listen to them.-🎄

i'm glad your vacation went well!! hopefully work won't be too rough for ya lol and yeah, i'm pretty much constantly listening to new songs and adding new ones to my playlist, it's basically just a general playlist where i add songs that i like and would listen to anytime, bc usually i download the whole album when i find a song/group i like so i can listen through it to get the whole experience but my shuffle would be a MESS if i just shuffled my whole library lmao though at this point my playlist has 570 songs, so... I've also never been huge on girl groups, i was really into (G)I-DLE when they debuted and their first couple albums/EPs but since then they've mostly been like a "side" group for me, but when i first got into kpop i was also really into red velvet. Oh and loona! i was really into them in like 2021 especially. I still like their stuff, it's just been kind of a bummer with the whole... implosion of the group lmao. Now the last week i've been getting into dreamcatcher because i heard a couple of their songs at a kpop shop near me and i was like wtf this goes hard lmao their light stick is SICK too so that's also kinda motivating me to get into them so that i can justify buying their light stick 🙈 my playlist also has some songs by le sserafim, IVE, ITZY and newjeans, but i haven't really like. gone out of my way to listen to songs by them? like. mostly their songs have gotten on my playlist bc i heard them on tiktok lol i've got like... over 40 artists on my playlist, though there's a few that i have literally one song from but there's VERY few of those lol so it would take me awhile to list every artist/band i listen to, even not counting the ones who i've only listened to a few songs from, so there's something for everyone on my playlist 😅 but the only artists/bands i wouldn't call myself a casual listener of nowadays (ex i've listened to/still listen to whole albums of theirs) are stray kids, ateez, TXT, seventeen as of recent but only for FML and seventeenth heaven atm, xdinary heroes, xikers, twice, (G)I-DLE, jackson wang, run the jewels, my chemical romance, coheed & cambria, and now dreamcatcher i guess, and... i think that's all? so quite a variety of styles lol thought i still go through periods where i listen to a few songs on repeat lmao usually that happens when a favorite group of mine releases a new album

[seokmins]

Hi! Sorry for the very late reply, but I have been very busy these last couple of days. I really hope we can pick up where we left off, though.

I am very glad that you'll stick with your username. I like to recognize the people I have talked to before on tumblr. And on top of that it's cute like the person who uses it <3

It's all very true what you said about EXO! But as much as I like that they all thrived during their service, it is really nice to have most of them back. And it's about time they release Baekhyun from the social service trenches as well. He's one of my three ults and I feel that I have suffered enough xD Just give him back, pls.

Oof, I got a whole list from you! Didn't expect that, love it, though! I see so many groups I also like a lot on that list! And my personal gem on that list, because you don't see them on many lists: KARD. Also like to see ATZ, MX, GOT7, NCT and SKZ high on that list, because those are some of my favourites as well :D

Can you give me an example for what you mean with "upbeat, gritty era"? Like some MV that projects that a lot? Can be anything, really.

hey no worries!! we all get busy, hope you're taking some time to rest now

thank you!! jaksjdf you're so sweet for saying that 😭 ig I'll keep it long time 🙏🏻

It IS so nice to see them back <3 it's deserved... kpop misses exo 😭 especially baekhyn... was listening to his music today and was like I MISS YOU. Dragging him back for you askdjfksjdfd (who are you're other 2 ults?) and not to deviate but i also miss taemin 😔

ajksdjf for real 😩 i can't keep up/keep track of everyone i like but that's a general list... sorry it's so big lol i do love KARD, I think it's so fresh to see a long-standing co-ed group, hope they release something new soon. Ah you have great taste, as expected!!

Hm... yeah I think a lot of seventeen's music is to my taste - for example I guess my most favorite songs revolve a lot around rock with you, hot, hit, callx3... oh and miroh from skz is a personal long time favorite idk if those are really good examples but they are details i like!!

[moonbinscirera]

Omg how funny!! I used to know of kpop wayyy back in the day but then my friends were obsessed with Blackpink in 2019 and I remembered them, checked them out, and fell deep into the kpop blackhole and haven't left since 😂 I pretty much followed your trail as well - give or take a few... but same - svt are soooo dear to me now and caratblr is so lovely as well 🥺

I tried to get into Astro like I know their names and most of what they do - obsessed with Moonbin and Sanha toooo - but they didn't stick unfortunately either 😔 but I think your URL is so fun and cute - especially after I saw I was assigned as your gift giver hehe!

Oooh I know, like I fell in love with their Ready to Love era aesthetic and then when Attacca was dropped - ATE that right up 😂😂😂 I don't think I'll ever get over that era - Rock with You is still a diehard listen 🙇🏻‍♀️ and you're so right!! The visuals were insane - I really loved seeing Joshua more confident and absolutely shining during the era (and that vocal unit photoshoot by the water... 😵‍💫) omg that also reminds me one of your favorite dynamics is kyeom and hao - they were sooo full of love that era 😭 ooh and another question haha - what drew you to your bias line??

no because my friend literally dragged me into this hole because before this i was just a weeb and i had started getting bored so i was like mmmm whats up with this whole kpop thing and my closest friends were an army a stay and a monbebe and the mbb jumped first 💀💀💀

thank you so much 🥹🥹🥹🥹 and highkey their unit never misses they always understand the assignment!

ohke so like fun fact about me is im a serial album buyer so if theres an album that looks cute or has a fun creative concept to it imma snap it up plain and simple so when lnr came out and i saw it was a diy album i was like yeah imma need that and bought 8 of em dhddndhd mind you i really didnt know svt then like at all except woozi cuz hes my friends ult and joshua because uh??? actually idk why i already knew shua

exhibits a & b:

like haos love at first sight but i do really like how hes such a *gestures vaguely* worldly and artistic person and has such a serious earnest air but is so deeply unserious at his core its fun???

wonwooo and hoshi i just really love their vibes for completely different reasons they seem like people id be really good friends with and i love funny boys and theyre so cute like idk i wanna put em in my pocket ya know?

also not to double back on myself but i really only built half of those albums then got tired 😭 and never built the other half

[woozi]

I am an EXO-L. They are still my ults. The first loves of my K-pop life lol. The main group that can make me swoon and cry literally over nothing. I love them so much. But Seventeen and The Boyz fight it out for that second spot in my heart constantly. Depending on the day you just never know who wins.

Honestly I haven’t been into K-pop very long. I am very a very small eastern mountain town in the eastern US. No one here really talks about much other than country music, gospel music, and classic rock lol. But I have a friend I met online (where all great relationships start now) and she was like oh you should listen to the song Call Me Baby by EXO. I was like I sure!

That was about 5 years ago. I listened to only that song and was afraid to really go any further for a while. I had of course heard of BTS and Black Pink but my head was like K-pop is going to be something I don’t like. Then the pandemic hit and I was at home and was listening to Call Me Baby and was like why not.

My best friend and I listened to 100 song you should know and fell down a rabbit hole. So it has honestly only been since the lockdown really that I really got into K-pop but it really brightened my world and changed it for the better.

Sorry if these are too long. Lol I can talk about K-pop for ever. How long have you been into K-pop Yza? Was Seventeen your first group or did you have a first love other than them?

your tASTE?!!!!?!?!

who are ur exo biases? i'm guessing biases bc it's also so hard to just pick one from them fdkjdfkjjkdfjkdf and what an interesting way to get into kpop!!

also sounds like one of my irls dfkjfjdk she never thought she'd get into kpop but now she's even making a business out of it lmao 😭

100 SONGS???????? omg link it to me please i also wanna know 👁

AND NOOOOOO OMG i love hearing from u dont even worry abt it <3

i grew up surrounded by koreans so u can say it's been around me since forever lol fdjkfdj but i only really GOT into it myself during '09-'10 when wg blew up <3 my first group was shinee and theyre still the lomls and they set the bar SOOO high for me so i kinda find it hard to get into groups tbh KJFDKJFD i was also pretty multi when i was younger?? but i'd always find myself just ulting a group and casually listening to others. since then, i unintentionally jump groups after a year or so 😭 that being said i've been into shinee, b.a.p, then b1a4!! after that i kinda quit kpop for a few years and just came back to it in 2019 bc of got7 <3 and then i got into the svteenies (which i've known abt since their 17tv era) in aug 2020 and here we are.... 2 YEARS LONG... i literally can't believe i stuck to something this long lol

[chateautae]

hey Sammy I wanted to ask you a fun question!

If you could choose your top favorite look for each member from any music video/stage/bangtanbomb…. Anything. What would it be? If u could add a picture of it would be nice 🥰

Stay happy and Healthy 💗💗💗💗

OH YESSS I LOVE THIS QUESTION!! Ugh so this is gonna be hard for me but hopefully I can remember them all. Unveiling my top favourite BTS looks 😌💓

Starting with Joon, my favourite look was definitely 2019 mama silver Joon, it just has a hold on me and I think Joon looks so sExY with this hairstyle 😩

Seokjin is a toughie for me since hello?? Seokjin literally rocks every single fucking concept he brings to the table?? But I really did like Jin with his caramel hair in dynamite, especially his look for dicon!!

Yoongi has such a fucking grip on me, I love love when he had his auburn hair and wore that one red outfit for seesaw’s live (fan’s self). I also really do love ON era Yoongi with the silver hair but in the SOOP Yoongi has my heart!! Literally nation’s husband pLEASE

I think everyone can agree that nOTHING beats jung hoseok’s fashion during concert season. Like I will never fucking forgot this red suit for just dance and the WET HAIR??? NOT TO MENTION FUCKING DIOR HOSEOK???? FOR OUTRO TEAR WITH THE LONG CNS HAIR?? YEAH END ME NOW

Park jimin where tf do I even begin?? The goddamn Jimin literally in my opinion owns everything and god do I just fall even harder harder. But honestly, recently Jimin’s UN PTD look has had my puthy in kNOTS. He looks like a hot superstar and that’s EXACTLY who park jimin is.

Taehyung… do I even want to begin? Fuck tumblr for the 10 image limit because I would legit just put a bunch of his looks in here. I loved his Esquire shoot, his mots on:e inner child shoot, I love 2020 Grammy’s Tae, ON era tae in general. I’m literally in love with gym/work out tae and 190424 tae, 191231 tae, in the SOOP tae, fucking baskin robins commercial tae, You Quiz Now tae, Japan fifth muster tae, be leopard print shoot tae, him in the recent taejoon live. Must I even choose an album for him?? He rocked every single fucking one 😭 but my ult favourite tae will always be 200129 tete!! I just love how soft fluffy he was :(((

Jungkook… the demon himself. We all know 190811 jungkook is literally a demon but my fave jungkook will always be day 1 my time jungkook. He rocks the leather like nobody else and I love when his hair’s all damp and long like that jeSUS!!

[smolie]

in december i wrote a 2020 year music review for myself that i intended to post here BUT...because i was infamously restricted twice last year, i didn’t bother since you wouldn’t be able to read it anyway because it was not possible to view my blog hjfdhfd

now that my restricted era is (hopefully forever) over i just want to post it here for the sake of completion since i want to do the same thing this year

this is really long so if you actually read it ... idk you are insane in the membrane and i love you... but i genuinely don’t expect anyone to read this hjfdhjf i just like reflecting on the music i have listened to and be able to look back on what i enjoyed in certain stages of my life! okiiii bye 💗

january

mac miller - circles (album) it’s a bit funny that i worried putting my thoughts down about this album and now it turns out to be first on the list, chronologically of course … oh bittersweet irony </3 listening to this album is such a double edged sword, either way i am always hit with a truckload of feelings when i turn to this release.

this album came to me in a time of my life where i was slowly but surely sliding down towards rock bottom again just after i got out of it and thought i was okay. the times i’ve listened to this crying in the bathtub with a glass of wine….girl let’s not lol…. it’s almost strange how much i can relate to the thoughts another person brought to paper. the comfort this album brings me is otherworldly, i feel so understood by mac’s words and it’s my go-to “wallow in self-pity for a bit then come out stronger than before” album. then again, i feel a little sting when any of mac’s songs come on shuffle. a friend of mine said she cannot listen to artists who have passed because it feels too strange and most of the time i agree but this time, it’s so so different. this album would have been mac’s salvation, i can feel it. everything would have been a bit brighter and lighter for him after this, it would have had to be. i feel like i would do him a disservice if i did not listen to this album, so i will cherish this final gift from him as his legacy and my comfort. i miss him incredibly and am all the more thankful he shared his heart with us.

album favs: circles, good news, surf

tiny meat gang - broke bitch (single) MAN I TELL THAT BROKE BITCH IF YOU WANNA GET IN TUNE BETTER CHANGE YOUR WHOLE PITCH LIKE WOAH !!!!!!!!!! did that give you whiplash? hehe funny to say this about a song called broke bitch by a duo called tiny meat gang but this song actually means a lot to me! it came out shortly before their show in berlin and i almost exclusively listened to it on my 7+ hours train ride from one side of the country to the other to see my meat boys. this played out of the fat ass speakers at the venue when they stepped on the stage and i will never forget meeting them :’) also the song fucking slaps obviously

february

loona - [#] (mini album) ah yes, the most controversial loona release to date! i’m not gonna lie and say this sounded anything like i expected it to. but also, i have come to terms with the fact that loona release noise music now and personally i am here for it. why not did not have the endless energy of hi high or otherworldly vibe of butterfly, but it’s a hype song and i am always there for hype. i also have to say the b-sides were not as strong for me as on previous releases but i think i have to come to peace with the fact that loona will never top their debut mini for me. though if i can wish for one thing…… let loona have title tracks with a chorus in 2021? pls? crumbs?

album favs: so what, oh (yes i am)

tame impala - the slow rush (album) *lights cigarette* i’m listening to pretty underground music….i don’t think you’ve heard of this band….they are called tame impala *intro of the less i know the better starts playing* yes i am a basic white bitch and listen to like 3 alternative bands but damn i listen to them religiously. like any other basic bitch on this planet i found out about tame impala through the less i know the better and checked out their music. i wasn’t too much into this album as i was into currents but towards the end of the year, i was in a moody alternative music slump that took me back to this album and i like it a lot more now! most importantly, tame impala fulfills my primitive urge to listen to songs that exceed the 4 minute mark. something clicks in my brain when i see a song that is like 6:34 and chances that it ends up as one of my faves on a album are high. i enjoy tiktok like everyone else but this trend of 2:50 long songs needs to be stopped immediately.

album favs: borderline, lost in yesterday, it might be time, is it true, posthumous forgiveness

honorary mentions: onlyoneof - dOra maar, everglow - dundun

march

nct 127 - neo zone (album) ah, yes. the album that fundamentally changed me as a person <3 i’ve been listening to nct for a while, matter of fact i checked my top tracks 2019 playlist on spotify and cherry bomb was on there lol. i remember trying to get into them in 2018 when they released their regular-irregular album but the endless member & unit concept scared me off, so i only listened to a handful of songs without looking into them march 2020, the fateful month in which they released kick it and screencaps of jaehyun’s sexy ass tiddies in the kick it mv landed on my tumblr or twitter and i HAD to look up who this man is…...remember when i thought jaehyun was my ult for like, 2 weeks? me neither, johnny suh only in this house <3

anyway, i checked out this album and by god, is this pure kpop perfection. last time i listened to a god tier no skip album like this was … maybe the perfect red velvet? hype songs, well crafted ballads, love songs that make me wanna learn the lyrics, genuinely fun and interesting pop songs, this album has it all. somehow, the way this album is crafted greatly reminds me of brown eyed girls’ sound-g, it has the same vibe, concept and mix of genres to me, i’m not entirely sure how to explain. anyway, this album is one of my favorites of all time and even though i’ve obsessively listened to it (lastfm says 1.4k scrobbles as of today, december 7th…) i am still not tired of this. i recommend this to anyone who loves kpop tbh, you will have a good time with this!

other than being just a musically solid album, the emotional ties i have with this are …. isabel stop making albums your emotional support 2021 challenge. i’ve listened to this release all spring lockdown, this basically played at every waking hour for all of march and april. the promotion time of this era and lockdown are deeply intertwined for me and so i am always remembered of all the nct content i consumed during that time which inevitably cheered me up so much. this album really means a lot to me :’)

album favs: kick it, mad dog, love song, boom

the weeknd - after hours (album) my dear melchanoly, was one of my favorite releases of 2018, so i had been desperate for a new release by abel and boy did he not disappoint. the perfect thotty, dirty emo 80s, making it clap while crying in the club album! this is a no skip from top to bottom and all i can say is that the grammys can go to hell <3 abel aoty! there is really not much i can say about this album, the flawless production, lyrics and sound speak for themself. my only criticism is that i feel overwhelmed by 14 songs, especially when some of them are really long. a few songs greatly overshadow the weaker tracks on the album for me but i still love this to death.

album favs: escape from LA, blinding lights, after hours, faith

dua lipa - future nostalgia (album) after the weeknd’s masterpiece of an 80s inspired pop album i was really looking forward to this. i greatly enjoyed the pre-releases, i played don’t start now and physical up and down, they are still some of my favorite songs released this year! when i first listened to the album i really liked it, songs like boys will be boys or pretty please sound like fillers to be but the rest is solid. yet a month after release you couldn’t catch me listening to this and i cannot even really tell you why. i think it was a combination of the following: 1) i greatly overplayed dsn and physical to the point where i didn’t want more of the pop 80s sound that the album has 2) there were other releases at the time that caught my attention and interest more like neo zone or after hours 3) dua herself….girl….she really gave it her all this year to make herself as unlikeable as possible. nationalist propaganda and the constant traveling during a fucking pandemic were really the kicker. i can barely stand seeing her on my instagram feed anymore, much less listen to her album. her having the nerve to go “we’re in a pandemic lol” when people asked about an animated music video …. if you don’t shut the hell up lmao … also, she takes the crown for the corniest album opener of all time. i nearly closed spotify when i heard future nostalgia (the song) lmao

album favs: don’t start now, physical, levitating, hallucinate

apink - dumhdurum (song)

listen, i’m not gonna sit here and pretend like this mini album interested me in the slightest but god, the title is such a banger.i’m so sick, eung eung and dumhdurum are a holy trilogy that i will defend until the end of time! i really hope apink stick to this mature, elegant concept, it suits them so well and goes well with their new sound. come back soon queens <3

rina sawayama - xs (song) i feel like i’m gonna catch some hands here … xs is an absolute banger, the guitar riffs and disruptive sounds really get me going every damn time! but the rest of the album … tell me why it doesn’t catch me?! i literally cannot explain. i need to take an hour, sit down and do nothing but listen to the album from top to bottom once again and see if my thoughts change but right now i only care about xs.

chungha - stay tonight (song) drama! vocals! dance break! choreography! this release served it all. i listened to this obsessively during the time of the release and it still holds up today. can we talk about the run chungha had with gotta go > snapping > stay tonight? lord have mercy.

lady gaga - chromatica (album) the immense disappointment i have in this album is tough to put into words lol. any other artist might have gotten away with this release but gaga having the discography that she has, well … she doesn’t get away with it. this has underwhelming all over it. i enjoyed the pre-releases and my hope was high but the rest just doesn’t live up what i expected, i can’t even say why. it’s just underwhelming pop for someone of gaga’s calibre. i listened to this album during release week and then never again till december to write this list and i can see why.

album favs: rain on me, sour candy ft. blackpink, stupid love

baekhyun - delight (mini album) it’s confession time … this is a name i never would have expected on any of my music lists to end up. exo has always been one of those boy groups i casually listened to. i greatly enjoy their title tracks and a handful of side tracks, i have a few members that i keep an eye on more than others but that’s about it. baekhyun was never one of those members i had any interest in, matter of fact i always thought he was kinda vanilla and boring 😭 i didn’t even plan on listening to this release if it wasn’t for his association with superm and thus nct, so i gave it a shot and we have no choice but to stan. his voice is like butter and can cut sharp at the same time, his versatility is insane. i dived a bit more into baekhyun related content and he is so likeable, it’s almost ridiculous. this production is absolute god tier, not a single skip on this mini. late spring/early summer i had this weird urge to listen to songs with mellow voices but still a banger instrumental and i wholeheartedly blame this release. matter of fact, this album is so good, i had to buy a physical copy. Y’ALL. THIS IS A BIG DEAL. i haven’t bought a kpop album of anyone that’s not holy top 3 (brown eyed girls, loona, nct) in like … idk, 5 years?! baekhyun’s impact. i’m a fan now <3

album favs: candy, r u ridin’?, love again

ak aussenkontrolle - in meinem benz (song) this … is very unrelated to this entirely list but i had to put it on here. i miss my ex boss and our 3 hour drives to meetings in the south of the country where we would blast trashy german rap music </3

nct 127 - neo zone: the final round (repackage) *airhorns* REEEPACKAGE TIIIIIME!!! my first nct era that i experienced from start to finish! i remember watching nct 127’s beyond live with luna where these mfs performed punch and we finished the concert having no idea what this song sounded like. the structure is so unusual and the intro catches me off-guard every time just to hype me up beyond compare. not gonna lie, the fact that johnny has exactly one (1) line hurts but! it’s my favorite line of the entire song! possibly related to the fact that it’s his line but let’s ignore that ….

album favs: punch, make your day

kim woo seok - red moon (song) i’m not even gonna lie to you. i have not a single idea who this man is. you could put him right in front of me and i wouldn’t know … all i know is that he has a banger song. i saw him perform this on a music show that i watched for nct and i ended up loving the song … thanks for your service sir, whoever you are ...

june

stray kids - go live (album) 2020 was kind of the year of boy groups for me, i’m so sorry … stray kids promoted simultaneously with nct 127 so i ended up hearing their title track and holy hell, is that a song. god’s menu is hype from start to finish. it reminds me of good ol’ 2nd gen noise boy group song a lá b*g b*ng fantastic baby. just pure hype and fun noise. i am forever grateful to witness the birth of the line cooking like a chef, i’m a five star michelin. the title track impressed me so much that i ended up checking out the entire album which i rarely ever do with boy groups and what is even rarer is that i enjoyed the b sides lmao!!! it’s not an album that i would put on and just enjoy from start to finish but it has some really solid tracks! this release made me want to keep an eye on stray kids, they seem like a really fun bunch.

album favs: god’s menu, TA, airplane

seventeen - left & right (song) the boy group run continues … same thing with stray kids, seventeen promoted during punch era so i heard their song while watching some music station show for nct and i heard this and was sold. solid, fun pop with the catchiest pre-chorus in history and a banger chorus. i listened to the entire mini and can’t say it really caught my interest so this is a title track only release for me.

irene & seulgi - monster (mini) this is a weird release because it’s good. the title track is fun enough, the b sides are dope. but my issue with this is that it’s nothing new. this sounds exactly like a red velvet release. i get that they didn’t want to a  joy, seulgi, irene, yeri release only and went for the sub-unit route instead, but why not be experimental and stray away from the usual sound of the group? also, whoever made monster and not naughty the title track deserves to be spat on. at least the choreography here is more interesting and “experimental” for kpop standards. also, why only a seulgi solo and no irene? i have no idea how reveluvs reacted to this release but this has rushed written all over it.

album favs: monster, naughty (i’m counting this to the mini idc), uncover

exo-sc - 1 billion views (mini) doing my part as a filthy casual exo listener. this release goes in the same category as baekhyun’s delight where i like the album so much that i HAD to get a physical copy. i don’t know what they put in the title track for it to be so diddly darn addictive but it clearly worked. the only bad thing about this release is how criminally mismanaged it was by sm, when i get you lee sooman ...

album favs: 1 billion views, on me, say it

baekhyun - garden in the air (song) i told you i’m a loyal baekhyun fan now <3 king releases and i listen, that’s just how it goes now! this is a cover of a boa song and i really love his version. there is not much to say except that it’s a really smooth song and his voice absolutely carries the track. i enjoyed this much more than i thought i would!

hyoyeon - dessert (song) YOU KNOW WHAT I DESERVE??? DESSERT!!!!!!! *insert tik tok challenge here* imagine if miryo featured on this instead of the ethnic hip girl … why can’t we have nice things. anyway, a banger!

johnny - sunny side up episode 1 set (spotify playlist, actual set) johnny being the skilled, talented, multi-faceted king that he is has been dj-ing since before debut (not me acting like i was around at that time lmao) and thus he decided to bless our quarantined, lockdowned asses with an online dj set! that was the most turned up sunday morning i ever had in my entire life. this set kicked off an edm/house/techno affinity that i had for the following couple of weeks. this set is an absolute banger, i would go insane to this in the club. he has an amazing ear for transitions and drops and i still just put on this set on the regular when i have cleaning to do or so. he could fill the void that rona and thus no clubbing in 2020 left in my heart and i’m so happy he decided to share this with us <3 now … john … sunny side up episode 2 pspspspspsps

cardi b ft. megan thee stallion - wap (song) late summer 2021. we are vaccinated, icu beds are free, barely any new cases, clubs are open, this song plays and i can finally make it fucking clap.

troye sivan - in a dream (mini album) a cute mini album! nothing life-changing or as exciting as previous releases but easy (haha!) to enjoy. i really, really enjoy easy, can always count on troye for a dreamy sound.

wonho - love synonym pt. 1: right for me (mini album) honestly? i know like, 3 monsta x songs. i never bothered to get into them and maybe i never will, but it was difficult to ignore the whole wonho & monsta x mess that went on. i have absolutely no memory of why i decided to check out this release, i guess i was curious what he was going to do and … i was positively surprised lol. open mind is the exact time of song i had been so desperate all summer (remember mellow vocals with banger instrumentals? yeah) and uhm … can’t ignore the obvious … mr wonho is fucking fine. sir, you just gained a fan … now, where is love synonym part 2?? huh?????

album favs: open mind, i just, losing you

joji - nectar (album) this one is on tiktok. i heard gimme love in a bunch of tiktoks and had to look up the song and here we are. what an album! it came right as seasonal depression started to hit and accompanied me for a good chunk of autumn. at this point one has to ask if joji can ever really miss? the entire album is a no skip, it’s almost difficult to narrow down my favorites if my favorites weren’t so damn god tier!!!

album favs: gimme love, ew, tick tock, pretty boy, your man

super m - tiger inside / 100 / drip (songs) okay, listen. technically tiger inside & 100 were already released in august. instead of those three songs i was gonna write about the entire album until i realized i really don’t give a fuck about it 😭 i really only care about those three songs. and YES, i unironically like 100. is it a good song? no. but neither is jopping and that fucking bangs. i don’t turn to superm for life-changing, profound music, i turn to them for a good time LOL and that’s what they deliver every time! that being said, taeyong’s VROOM VROOM, UHMM UHMM, GRRRAHHHH verse is life-changing and profound! speak your truth king! also i wish drip was a b side for nct 127 that song is so damn sexy

taemin - never gonna dance again act 1 (album) this isn’t kpop, this is taemin pop. taemin never misses and the fact that hw*s* won dance performance over taemin is a literal hate crime. i will never forget the industry for this daylight robbery … anyway, nice album!!!!

album favs: criminal, black rose, waiting for

stray kids - in life (repackage) *airhorns* REPACKAGE TIIIIME 2.0!!!! i was on the edge of my seat waiting what stray kids were going to deliver after i greatly enjoyed god’s menu. i was still not over listening god’s menu when the repackage came out so i didn’t listen to it right away and now i greatly regret the few days i could have listened to back door earlier </3

album favs: back door, any

jackson wang - pretty please (song) i’m not gonna pretend like i ever listened to a song by jackson ever before. he is short king from got7 in my head and that’s all! i don’t even remember why i listened to this song but all i know is that it slaps severely. i love the wong kar wai inspired music video and the choreography is fun too! i’m gonna check out more of his music <3

blackpink - the album (album, duh) i don’t even know what to say about this … this might be the weirdest release on the list for me. there are song i absolutely fucking hate (ice cream …) and songs i get my life to (pretty savage) on here and the discrepancy just gives me massive whiplash. i would never put this album on and listen to the whole body of work, i just cannot with the brain damage it gives me. i am still stuck in 2016, begging for bp to release music like whistle/boombayah/stay/playing with fire but i think i need to give up on that wishful thinking … i am just grateful we a got a title track with actual lyrics in the chrous for once.

album favs: pretty savage, lovesick girls

nct - nct 2020 resonance pt. 1 (album) this era was … a ride. nct 2020 happening was near inevitable but with covid it got pushed back so far, i started to believe it wasn’t even going to happen. i was semi-terrified of what was going to happen during a comeback with 21 (now 23!!) member group since i only experienced nct 127 comebacks so far and uhh … a LOT happened lmfao but let’s keep this about the album … i had no idea what was going to hit me. johnny having effectively 3 lines in nct 2018 did not give me much hope and after he got denoted to no line treatment in punch again, i was ready to not even have any expectation but this release changed everything. make no mistake that most of my favorite songs are units with johnny, we knew that was gonna happen lmaooo they dropped the teaser video for misfit and i thought i had my favorite song in the bag and then faded in my last song happened. y’all. JOHNNY SINGS? LIKE? ACTUALLY SINGS? DOESN’T GET FORCED TO RAP OR TALK-SING? MY MAN’S VOCALS??? OH MY GAAAAHD! this song is dramatic, theatrical, emo, it serves vocals and rap, it has catchy english and korean lyrics, this is THE song, the ULTIMATE song. i love this song so much, i want to belt it on top of my lungs in the pouring rain. apart from fimls, i also loveeee misfit, that was to be expected after i was going completely insane over the track video. johnny has like 3 lines but again they are iconic (WARNIN’! NCT WE MOBBIN’!) and i just enjoy the track too much to be upset over that. nectar. holy fuck. nectar!!!! wayv never disappoints with their thotty songs, they now have an absolute god tier hoe-ly song trinity with love talk > bad alive > nectar. the first chorus and hendery’s first verse (CHOP CHOP CHOP!) get me every time, this song is so insanely good i am severely upset i cannot sing along to it :( music, dance has nct 127 written all over it in bold letters, it’s so inherently 127’s sound!!!! i love this song so much, it’s so fun, upset and has massive dance-ability, i wish we had gotten a stage for it but i guess you can’t have everything in life </3 make a wish……………………………..the cursed unit. i don’t want to say anything about this except that, unfortunately, the song is fun and i enjoy it. the end. overall, this album is so insanely solid. i know i talk about my favorites A LOT but i genuinely do not dislike a single song on here, this is an absolute no skip album! that’s it. see you for resonance part 2!!!!!

album favs: FADED IN MY LAST SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, misfit, nectar, music dance, make a wish

loona - 12:00 (mini album) controversial loona release 2.0! i don’t know what it is, but somehow they managed to lace the words di da dam di dam di dam dam dam dam di dam (yeah) with pure crack. i fucking love why not, i would even go as far to say it’s my 2nd favorite title track. that is right, i think it’s better than butterfly (btw: hi high > why not > butterfly > so what). so much was strange this comeback, from the inexplicable concept + teasers, the outfits, the styling (yves….i mourn your hot girl era) but the title track is just SO good, SO fun, SO catchy that i am willing to ignore it all. i also enjoy the b sides much more than on #, they are much more memorable to me. and now … HASEUL RETURN…………….i purely live to see the next loona comeback at this point

album favs: why not, voice, universe

twice - i can’t stop me (song) thank fuck twice released a good song this year. if more & more had been the only 2020 release, that would have been the real tragedy. not gonna lie, i still haven’t listened to the full album, it just keeps slipping my mind. but! i’m going to! until then i’m gonna bop to i can’t stop me.

ariana grande - positions (album) the way this album has people upset is so funny. i am a huge dangerous woman fan myself, it’s my fave ariana album to date but she has said repeatedly that this is not the sound she is striving for. now she has her coin and can do whatever she wants in music and if that is r’n’b then fuck! we have to live with it! lmao! i can live with the sex theme of the album because it’s delivered in a fun way? but it’s getting a bit old...if the next album is about riding dick only too idk how much i would enjoy that. i would probably always come back to ari because i like her voice so much but girl, there are other topics to sing about, i promise! anyway! i like this album, it’s one of those where i can hit shuffle and enjoy it in the background while doing other stuff.

album favs: positions, 34 + 35, love language, my hair, pov

tiny meat gang - sofia (song) ayyy, it’s my meat boys :’) ending the year the same way they started it, with a banger! i absolutely love the guitar instrumental, the melancholic love song type sound paired with the theme of singing about loving a robot … yup, that’s creativity and talent right here! this makes me so freaking desperate for a new ep and i genuinely have no idea how far or close we are to one but!!! i am always waiting!!!

noel - push (ep) this is something i absolutely did not expect. noel (of tiny meat gang!) released his first ep ever and i was absolutely wowed. noel has it all, the voice, the talent, the creativity and all it took him was the confidence to finally put something out and i’m so happy he did. he gets real personal on bus back, more than ever before and i always get a bit emo listening to this track </3 this man is gonna go places and i’m so happy to witness his journey.

album favs: crow, head sunk, bus back

taemin - never gonna dance again act 2 (album) i’m gonna say it. idea is better than criminal. the chorus drop???? when he goes MY AH AH  MY AH AH MY AH MY IDEA MY MY IDEAAAAAA A-A-A A-A-A???? bitch … tell me you can sit still, i won’t believe you. i like part 2’s title track more, but part 1’s b sides are more interesting to me. either way, taemin delivered as expected!!

album favs: idea, impressionable, exclusive

nct - nct 2020 resonance pt. 2 (album) part two, baby! we made it! part 2 had more mellow, ballad-y songs with my everything, i.o.u. and all about you, overall less drama than part 1 but i still enjoyed it. work it is one of those controversial songs where you despise it with your entire being or you defend this top tier noise till the end and i am absolutely the latter. the agony of not being able to listen to it and seeing the timeline so divided nearly killed me, but i have concluded that people who hate work it have never felt joy in their life <3 honestly my opinion cannot be counted because i eat up anything johnny participates in … biased ass… what i’m not gonna talk about is resonance (the song), this absolute mess of a “remix”. the audacity sm had to release this as a single is insane. anyway!! this era was a rollercoaster ride. all the interactions truly made me interested in members of other units more. hendery (the rise and fall …), yangyang my beautiful son, jeno aka blue hair guy, chenle the chaos kid and xiaojun after he made make a wish his bitch in particular! all the interactions between the units were so fun to witness and it was fun while it lasted but i am … so glad it’s over lol. i miss nct 127, i miss some peace, i hope the boys get to rest for a bit and so does my bank account.

album favs: work it, 90s love, i.o.u., raise the roof

miley cyrus - plastic hearts (album) not in a thousand years would i have expected a miley release to be on here. this girl does everything to be absolutely unlikeable in my eyes but after severely banging out to her heart of glass cover, i was really excited for this and it did not disappoint. what is disappointing is that it took her so long to find a sound that fits her like a glove. i believe many people miss out on this release after her previous history and i nearly would have done the same. this alt/rock influenced pop does her voice so many favors and i really hope she sticks to this direction, i love this album greatly!!

album favs: heart of glass, midnight sky, night crawling ft. billy joel, wtf do i know

kai - kai (mini album) just. imagine debuting with an album like that. lol. what a god tier big dick move. we all knew whatever this release was gonna be, above all it was going to be sexy and boy were we RIGHT!!!! mmmh is exactly as thotty as i needed it to be and the b sides give me everything from r’n’b to trap. i love this release and i love that it’s only the beginning of kai! like!! he is only gonna gain even more experience and become even more powerful!! what the fuck!!!!!

album favs: mmmh, ride or die, hello stranger, nothing on me

mgmt - little dark age (album, 2018) & oracular spectactular (album, 2007) another tiktok serve. i found little dark age through a tiktok trend and ended up really liking mgmt. they fit perfectly into my autumn/winter moody alt/rock mood that i had going on and i’m happy they have so much more music that i can check out!

artist favs: little dark age, electric feel, time to pretend

tame impala - currents (album, 2015) everyone’s favorite basic alt bitch album! i enjoyed this more than the slow rush for a good chunk of time, it also fit right into my alt rock autumn mood. i really love this album, like previously mentioned it has my favorite long ass tracks on there but also a good amount of short or medium long tracks. i’m still busy enjoying currents and the slow rush but i can’t wait till i finally take the leap to dive into their other releases because i’m loving everything i’ve heard so far.

album favs: the less i know the better, let it happen, new person same old mistakes

joji - ballads 1 (2018) after liking nectar so much, checking joji out was a given and i just love this album. only when i listened to this i realized i heard slowly dancing in the dark a few times on tiktok lmao that cursed app man … i would say i love nectar a bit more but this is still a fantastic album!!

album favs: slowly dancing in the dark, attention, test drive, yeah right

jus2 - focus (mini album, 2019) in my “mellow moody bangers” phase i was scouring playlists for more songs and i think i found focus on me first which fitted right into the niche i was looking to fill and i ended up enjoy this whole release! only later i realized this is a sub-unit from got7 lmao how come i enjoy solo or unit releases by got7 members but their group discography never interested me? anyway, very sexy ep!

album favs: drunk on you, focus on me, love talk

knk - sunset (song, 2019) part of my mellow bangers playlist. very sexy, i can imagine this as a runway song! i have no idea who knk are but given the fact i enjoyed two of their songs so far maybe i should look into them lol

baekhyun - city lights (mini album, 2019) i am repenting for my sins of missing out on baekhyun releases by consuming his music at an exorbitant rate. un village is one hell of a title track that i didn’t appreciate before, but i feel like in 2020 my music interests started to vary and i love the groovy r’n’b and string sound of this song so much. i also love stay up to death, the vocals baekhyun serves here are unreal. his BABY WE CAN STAY UP!!!!!!! gets me every single time!!!! what a mini!

album favs: un village, stay up

mac miller - swimming (album, 2018) i’ve listened to this album before 2020 but i had the urge to put this on here. this is going to sound so corny, but if i had to pick one song to be my life’s title track, it would be ladders. the hope this song gives me is unreal, it feels like a light at the end of the tunnel. this album is so fantastic, i love the upbeat instrumentals paired with sometimes gloomy lyrics are so incredible, mac was truly one of the greatest artists of our time. this album is  so outstanding and i miss him every day.

album favs: ladders, jet fuel, 2009, self care, perfecto

doja cat - hot pink (album, 2019) i can never decide if i like doja or not but the album slaps lol that’s it come on tiktok queen

1. The twizzlers question hurt a bit lol. I really like cherry twizzlers. The peelable kind. But regular twizzlers aren't at the top of the list. We have a sprouts in my state and I used to love their licorice until I realized it all tastes the same. I still buy it tho. Have you ever tried chocolate covered gummy bears? I haven't seen any of those movies but I will add them to my list. My favorite is rosemary's baby. I grew up very catholic but I'm not very catholic myself. I was surprised how

2. much it got to me in a religious sense. The fourth kind of terrified me too when the alien starts talking about how they're god. I was so mindfucked. What if this whole time the aliens have been playing me like a fiddle? And why haven't they thrown me any bones? A travesty. You're so right about horror movie female characters having more depth... by your choice in gg's I'm assuming you're cute af and adorable. I myself like mostly older gg's snsd, 2ne1, 4 minute, kara, t-ara, f(x) and mamamoo

3. I know the last two are kinda problematic but the music is so good, I hate myself. I really want to check out loona but I don't even know where to start. Also I like what I've heard from ladies code, twice and dreamcatcher but I haven't really listened to them. Joji, Radiohead and arcade fire? Trying to steal my heart I see! I love alternative music. I think it's very funny how a bunch of rockers ended up stanning bts. I'm sorry for leaving such long ask(s)!

omg I didn’t mean to hurt you 😭😭😭 the only licorice i’ve tried is twizzlers strawberry and some other brand’s black licorice years ago so it’s not like i’m some expert skjhks i do love cherry flavors so who knows maybe you’re making some points. i’ll give it a go 😳 i haven’t tried chocolate covered gummy bears but it sounds kinda good actually. chocolate is definitely my addiction and i’m not kidding lmao i haven't gone a week in my whole life without some form of chocolate.

I LOVED Rosemary’s baby, even though watching it is always sorta hard. It’s a grim reminder that a woman’s right to her autonomy is constantly stripped away from her or meddled into. Watching Mia Farrow be gaslit and assaulted into submission is always so difficult but I do love the psychological torture lmao. I can’t believe I haven’t watched the fourth kind luv 👀 now I just have to check it out. the whole alien speaking like gods reminds me of a scene from the horror documentary “The Nightmare” which is actually about sleep paralysis, but there was this one scene where this dude - who was apparently a real patient - said that during his paralysis episodes, there were these alien like figures that used to visit him and say smthg exactly along those lines 👀 inch resting. i hope my alien god can finally give me a brain for once.

🥺🥺🥺 you’re the adorable one! ofc I love snsd, they are the ones that opened the door of kpop for me, i originally stanned them. and the ggs you wrote down are I C O N I C, i really miss their legendary eras 🥺 I haven’t been able to get into Loona either lol but I love this one member named Chuu, she’s the cutest fucking thing on the planet shbshkbn and i’m a huge soft fan of dreamcatcher! I know people always say they are really underrated, but they are really underrated. and it’s so nice to run into a rocker 😭 Queen and Radiohead are my ult!! I’m not surprised that a lot of rock fans/alt kids are into BTS cause we are kinda edgy lmao and really fuck with the lyrics and fEeL~ of the music we listen to - both of those things BTS provides the top quality of 😌

please don’t be sorry, I love your asks 🥺💖

hello, ur uni anon here 💕 thankfully things have calmed down for me so ill be able to message u more from now on :)

im currently listening to you are by got7 thanks to ur recommendation and i really like youngjae's vocal color!! im going to listen to all the other songs u recced even though its not really my style just bc i love his and jinyoungs voices :D ill keep u updated after i listen to all of them 😅

its very surprising to me that ur a baby uni, idk why i assumed you've been a fan for much longer ahshssj but yes i agree with ur picks so much!!! lost paradise is one of my favorite ptg songs it makes me so happy to see u appreciating it :') i also love asteroid and die for you and ur so right we:th has absolutely no skips... i genuinely thinks its one of their best albums

since i missed week 4 i thought i combine the week 4 and week 5 prompts, i hope that's okay and u dont mind the questions ☺️

- an unpopular opinion u have about one of ur ults?

- favorite era of ur ptg bias?

- top 5 funniest ptg moments? :D

- jinho or hui?

- would u rather attend a magazineho concert or a kino dance showcase?

- if you were an idol, what positions would u want in the group? (lead singer, main dancer, oldest etc)

- when u watch music video for the first time, what do u tend to notice most on the first watch: the video, the song, the lyrics, the choreo?

hello! i am so happy you're back, aaaah!! so, let's get into it!

if you love jinyoung's voice (which, everyone should, he's also an incredible dancer), you should definitely check out his first solo release dive! one of my favorite got7 solo releases, and it's a little more pop rock. he's also an actor, and most recently starred in the crime drama devil judge (which i definitely recommend) and in the drama he is psychometric!

really?? huh, i wonder why i'd give off that energy .... i feel like i know nothing yet, and am just trying to catch up with all the content. i love them so much ... like, having pentagon's discography?? HOW crazy is that?? how the fuck are you not the most successful act in the industry?

okay!! here we go!

hmmm, i feel like hoseok is too nice to hybe and constantly undervalues himself and his skills in order for the group to thrive, and i wish he wouldn't be so goddamn nice, because he is the most talented dancer in the group, a talented rapper AND vocalist, and it should be SHOWN.

favorite eras: kino - naughty boy, jinho - sha la la / dr. bebe, hui - shine!

top 5 funniest moments (in no particular order):

1. talking shit about mnet during road to kingdom 😭 2. the infamous gashina cover 3. when they had to choose ingredients for a barbecue, and hui talked shit about shinwon choosing a potato, only to reveal he also chose a potato 4. jinho spelling out i'm bored at ISAC 5. hui's initial pitch for do or not ("a spring song") being DEAD OR BAD (whatever hui ........) 6. every time hui wants to hold hands with his members, especially kino

while i love hyunggu to death, I AM a singer ... so magazineho concert!!

i would be the main vocal! resident translator, and i would be one of the youngest members, but everyone thinks i am the oldest.

i NEED to see the lyrics while watching, so it's always vocals / lyrics / outfits first, then dance, concept etc. comes second.

oH MY GOD BB WHAT MADE YOU STAN JISUNG :OO - tiffy

OH MY GOD A VERY GOOD QUESTION

I’M GONNA PUT THIS UNDER A READ MORE JUST IN CASE IT GETS LONG LHSFHKLFH LET’S GO!!!!

WHAT MADE ME STAN JISUNG

so i got into nct during limitless era!!!! i didn’t know about jisung until the teasers for mfal started coming out~~

so!!!!!! i was kind of paying attention to the teasers, kind of not, but since i was a new nct stan at the time, i still watched the mv because i wanted to support them right!!!!

so i watched the mv, and towards the beginning of the mv, first verse, during his close up shot, he caught my eye~ i was like ‘omg someone caught my eye???? who’s that????’ so me, still new to nct, looked back at the teasers again and found out it was jisung!!!!

so i was like omg a cutie!!!!!!! and then i was like okay, it seems like everyone tends to have a bias for each unit, so i made jisung my dream bias at that moment!!!!! i was happy!!!!!

what i didn’t know is that somewhere along the way, he would end up being my ult and someone i would be so so so soft for and just go 'OMG CUTIE I’M SO SOFT SO SO SOFT’ over every single day GKSDLGKSDGKLKSD 

he slowly became my ult bias, and i think what pushed it for me was finding out that he likes to write too, which is the story i already told you about the other day!!!!!! like i said then, i was probably screaming about that for a week straight gsldkgsldksd I STILL SCREAM ABOUT IT SOMETIMES NOW!!!!!!! 

other things that pushed his ult status more and more: he mentioned that he wants to try singing rock music(I LOVE ROCK/METAL MUSIC SO I SCREAMED WHEN HE SAID THAT), his positivity(I LOVE BEING POSITIVE AND WHEN I STAN A POSITIVE PERSON I ALSO SCREAM ABOUT THAT), his talent, his personality(BC OUR PERSONALITIES ARE SIMILAR, AT LEAST TO ME AND AT LEAST WHEN IT COMES TO INTROVERSION), his cuteness!!!!!!

i’m so so so so so soft for him and there would never be a day that i don’t talk about how soft i am for him ;;;;;w;;;;; CATCH ME CALLING HIM A CUTE MOCHI DUCKLING SUNSHINE 25/8!!!!!!!!

this is why i always tend to say mfal era has a special place in my heart, because that’s when everything stated~~
