#VU Review

@labyrinthhofmymind

It’s that time again

the following content contains spoilers on a fic called presque vu by bizzarestars

SO

Chapter 25

- Sirius trying to convince Remus that he’ll be the better parent figure

- SIRIUS’ MENTAL HEALTH

OH MY FUCKING GID. AND HE SAID IF HED STAYED WITH REMUS HE PROBABLY WOULDVE HAD A BETTER CHANCE AT HEALING??!!

CAN I DIE NOW

- Sirius calling him beautiful

Yes, she's biased towards him, but that has fuck all to do with his lycanthropy. In Sirius' eyes, Remus is better than anyone, werewolf or no.

(wolfstar in a nutshell)

TWUAIAJHDHWAJAJSOSOADHKSKAJDJSIAJIFISJANSHFIWKNDOWISHDJSJSIFJEKDJSHAODJJTYOEKJALSJHYNEOAKJSJFJTKSJOAJSBDIEOAOHSJDNFPROAJSHUDNTJ

⚰️ <- me

Sometimes, the bare minimum is all they've got.

…

Don’t even know what to say

I need whatever tf zar was on when they wrote this fic like OH my FUCKING GOD

I CANT DO THIS

IM IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS RN AND THATS THE ONLY TJING STOPPING ME FROM BREAKING DOWN RIGHT FUCKING NOW

Maybe it's the potential of what could have been that's throwing me off.

- ok so who gave Sirius the fucking mic

- WHAT

- this is her talking abt hermione and harry and how Harry would’ve been an older sibling if they’d had the time :(

"You talk like you're old," Remus says, amused.

Sirius shoots him a wry look. "I am old."

"What's that make me, then?"

"You? Oh, Moony, you're in your prime."

…..OLD COUPLE BANTER

I CANT

I LOVE THEM TOO MUCH I FORGET THIS IS A CANON COMPLIANT FIC AND I WISH THEY DIDNT DIE AND I WISH JKR DID THEM JUSTICE AND I WISH THEY GOT TO HEAL TOGETHER AND MAKE OUT LIKE THEY DESERVE TK BUT THEY CANT AND THEY DONT AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO TEAR MY SOUL OUT AND CRY AND CRY AND CRY

"Freddie Mercury was a legend," Sirius states firmly. "Some people just didn't like him because he could be…eccentric. Same thing with Bowie. There's no accounting for your uncle's taste, clearly."

HARRY LISTENING TO BOWIE AND QUEEN. HE IS MY QUEEN. OH MY FUCMING GOD I LOVE THEM SO MUCH SNAKJSJDHSJA

Sirius being like ‘wait u think we’re a couple’ and Harry being like ‘um, you aren’t?’

…nevermind he said ‘hug like brothers’

I shall not be forgiving Harry in the near future. WHAT THE FUCK MAN. YOU WERE ON A ROLL. AND YOU RUINED IT WITH ‘YOU HUG LIKE BROTHERS’ WTF. NOT COOL.

Remus' expression doesn't crack, but the humor in his eyes is evident, and Sirius considers sticking their tongue in his mouth right then and there, just to prove a point. See if Harry calls that brotherly. Fucking hell.

THEY SHOULDVE. THEY SHOULDVE MADE OUT RIVHG THERE AND THEN.

NOT REMUS FRIENDZONING SIRIUS GAHSBSHHAHAHAHSJSJ

SIRIUS CALLING HIM A GOOD BOY

RHEKAKAKJDKSJSJSJDJDJSJJSHS AND THEM GRINJING WHEN REMUS BLUSHED

Sirius knows for a fact that they've managed to fluster him just by how he's talking; whether it's from the good boy comment, or just their teasing look, they don't know. It doesn't really matter, because it pleases Sirius to no end anyway.

SIRIUS KNOWS HOW POWERFUL SHE IS OMG AKRJJWS

…Sirius comparing Molly and Walburga :/

THE BOGGART

WHAT THE FUCJ

THE BOGGART I CSNT I CANT I CANT I CANT I CANT I CANY I CANT I CANT I CANT I XANT I CANT

‘Padfoot is Harry’s dog’

That’s it for now and I’m taking healthy breaks throughout this fic cuz I don’t plan on killing myself before I finish it so it’ll be slow updates. :)

Thanks for reading

Hana Vu certainly isn’t one to hold back with the gore, first with the cover for her debut album, Public Storage, and now the disturbing new video for her latest single, ‘Care.’

Inspired by the Artemisia Gentileschi paintings Judith Beheading Holofernes and “Judith, Her Maid and Holofernes' Head, it begins with the LA-based singer/songwriter’s rotting severed head, the events leading up to her murder unfolding in reverse as she sings of feeling discarded amid a simmering rock haze. So an episode of Snapped, but make it into a disaffected indie video you’d see on MTV in the 90s...

‘Care’ is from Vu’s upcoming album, Romanticism, which sees the singer/songwriter trying to ‘convey my perspective as boldly as possible — to succinctly crystallize how it feels to be young, but also to be deeply sad.'

Hana Vu’s Romanticism is out May 3 via Ghostly International.

[Han Radio 📻 #1] TXT - Chikai ✨ Album First Listen & Review

Eh hem.

Yes, I am aware this album dropped 2 weeks ago. And yes I am aware that Jimin's <Muse> dropped today, and I still have not written my RM <RPWP> review, but you know what, bite me - life happens!

Anyway, now that I've finally had a second to get my mind straight, and I will likely be hearing all of these songs live in Osaka next weekend, I'm finally ready to give <Chikai> my first listen and share my personal thoughts on the album!

So without further ado, let's jump in!

Track 01. We'll Never Change [Title Track] My Rating: 8/10

One thing I can confidently say about TXT is that their title tracks always hit the mark - and for me, their more ballad/RnB songs always match my taste perfectly - this song being no exception. 😌

The distorted piano rift at the beginning of the track creates an enchanted atmosphere, which I find is reminiscent of the unique fairytale influence that has become characteristic of TXT's concepts and musical message. Then it's complimented by the juxtaposition between the thumping of the bass representing a racing, anxious heart against Beomgyu's ethereal vocals which are instantly soothing.

My favourite part is definitely the pre-chorus with the repeating 'let go let go let go' motif - particularly in the second verse with the transition from Soobin to Beomgyu's voices. I think these two really have soft airy voices that truly compliment this track. And the layering of the other members' voices underneath really adds to the magical and emotive mood of the track.

I think using Yeonjun to build up the tension in the first pre-chorus, and keeping Hueningkai and Taehyun's more powerful vocals until the choruses was a great choice to build the atmosphere. On the flip side, I do have to say this song lost points for me because the chorus just didn't hit as hard as I was expecting for how much it built up the emotion. (It felt like all that build-up with no payoff?! 😭)

Again, Soobin and Beomgyu's voices really complete this song for me, the reprise of 'you you' after the chorus just causes my emotions to swell and both of them have these beautiful forlorn vocals, which goes wonderfully with the message of the song.

Speaking of the lyrics, I think the song is pretty transparent with the meaning from the title alone - it's a beautiful reflection of a promise between two (or more) parties to never forget their relationship regardless of how far apart they are and what else may change around them - they themselves, and the essence of their relationship will never change.

The other gripe I have with this song is the typical 2024 complaint, but the song is just so short 😔 I would have loved just one more chorus at the end, potentially with the more stripped-back audio and distorted piano and then a final crescendo of all the vocals and music... but yeah, streaming so short songs.

Track 02. Deja Vu (Japanese Version) My Rating: 10/10

Okay, as a self-identify 'translated song hater' - I have to say this is one of the best translated tracks I've heard in a long time! I don't know if it's a mental block or what, but in my 17 years of K-Pop, I have always found listening to translated songs SUPER jarring, even if I hear the translated one first, I could just tell.

And that does somewhat apply to this track too, like Hueningkai's rap and the chorus sounds a little staccato but otherwise, it's not a half-bad effort. (Honestly, the only song I can say is flawless is TXT's {Your Light}, but that's probably because they intentionally recorded all 3 language versions at once. I still only listen to the Korean one though! 🤧)

It also doesn't hurt that Deja Vu is just such a bop of a track. I loved it in <Tomorrow> and I love it in <Chikai>, and I love songs with dope fan chants too, and this is just hitting all the marks for me!

//I'm not going to get into the lyrics because I'm far too lazy to check if the translation matches the Korean, but if you want me to review the original <Tomorrow> album or at least {Deja Vu} track, then lemme know.

Track 03. Kitto Zutto My Rating: 7/10

I'm SO happy they kept an upbeat song after {Deja Vu} on this album just like they did on <Tomorrow> because my body was just waiting for {Miracle} to play, so having this album have a truck that's equally high tempo and high tension was great.

I also think this song is really tailored to the tastes of the Japanese audience, it would fit right in as the OP/EP of an anime or game - however, I do think that could hurt its marketability elsewhere. (However, it's no secret that K-pop idols' Japanese songs really do well outside of Japan, so maybe they just don't care at this point.)

For me personally, I do think the transition between the verses and choruses could have been a little smoother, the sudden change in the tempo of the vocals from the subdued verse to the upbeat chorus is a tiny bit jarring. In their defense, they do build up a little, which lets you know the speed change is coming, but it's just not my style and this is my review so... (It's also just a lot on my sound-sensitive ADHD ears.)

Nyangnyangs are taking it vocals-wise for me in this song, but Hueningkai starting the bridge was an absolutely artful choice, his voice is just perfect for those moments, especially in Japanese songs.

All in all, while it is a good song, it's definitely going to be one of those I enjoy when it comes up on shuffle, but isn't necessarily a track that I will search for, that's why I capped it out at 7 points.

Bonus: We'll Never Change [Choreography] My Rating: 10/10

WOW. Just WOW.

Honestly, my heart hurts so much for Beomgyu because I can only imagine how much they all practiced for a routine this artistically stunning.

When I talk to others about TXT, I often comment on how absolutely breathtaking their live performances always are, and this song is no exception at all.

The incorporation of their stage outfits into the dance, and the way the harp-like movement actually compliments the piano motif in the music is just... URGH, I LOVE IT.

I really hope Beomgyu's condition has improved by Osaka as it would be an absolute honor to see the first complete version of this stage in all its glory - but if not at our show, then I hope he is able to perform before the end of the Japanese leg of the tour.

While I know I said Japanese songs usually aren't that popular overseas, I do wish that K-pop idols would perform one or two of their Japanese tracks throughout the whole tour - especially artists with such amazing Japanese tracks like TXT.

If I'm completley honest, seeing {Ring} live is one of the major reasons I even wanted to go and see them in Japan so badly. It is undoubtedly my fave of their Japanese songs, and arguably one of my fave TXT tracks in general (the cute lyrics and Taehyun's vocals just blow me away every time) - so yeah, anyway, please show some love to your fave J-tracks and maybe we can set a new president.

-

Anyway, my final rating for this entire single album is a solid 8/10. While it's not perfect marks, with so few songs (one of which is a remake), I think it's a fair score for what we were given.

TXT never fails to impress me with their ability to add their own color to everything that touch, and the magic truly is never lost. <Chikai> is a fantastic way to round off this chapter and I'm excited to see what they bring us next once Act: Promise has ended.

One thing we can be sure of is that their unique musical identity will never change~!

//Okay, cheesy ending aside - I'd love to hear what you all think of the album, and if you agree or disagree with my review. This is genuinely my first listen so my mind may change in the future, but that's the beauty of first impressions.

Till the next one! Thanks for tuning in to Han Radio! 📻✨☺️

TXT: The 'Tomorrow' Of K-pop?

Here are my credentials: yeah…none. I think the amount of TXT songs I know can be counted on one hand, and besides one, they’re all singles. But like with BTS, I’ve been a K-pop fan for four years and I figured that it was about time I make an effort to give them a try. It’s funny; I feel like with every girl group I cover I’m like “well obviously it was July 2017 because Joy had red hair” and with every boy group I’m like “um…are there seven or eight of them again?”

But I digress. TXT was formed in 2019, by Big Hit Entertainment, with five members (and yes, it’s five, I googled it, I promise)...Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Soobin, Kai, and Taehyun...

TXT 'Deja Vu' | Short K-Pop Review

TXT Deja Vu is the third track from their sixth mini album, Minisode 3: TOMORROW, and serves as the title track. Both the track and mini album came out in April.

TIL that transitional cutscenes keep your collection of relics as well as your health

Both of these are full health, but in the first, I was a little lazier and didn't grab relics from one of the closets.

Maybe this is a 'well, duh' but I usually scrounge for any relics I can find, and didn't notice this. And I did notice a player in the second game mysteriously lose several inches after cutscenes.

I'm also realizing now the importance of recording in 4K. It doesn't particularly matter when you display the full screen, but I'm wondering if zooming in is where it becomes important. Welp. I don't have the space for all that, so.

And finally, when you die, you respawn with the same amount of relics/the same size health bar, as you had when crossing the checkpoint, but in full health.

T×T Review time!

I have already listened to a few songs but they were either in clips or for my Hated Kpop song reviews.

I decided to go with Crown and Deja Vu

First up their debut Crown

First, a bright concept is kinda unique for a big name boy group.

Their outfits are cute

Ooo. The beat is lovely.

I really like the beginning choreo, its very good.

Hello Mr. Kai, how are you.

It's a love song? Fair enough..

I really like the lyric. 'You become my crown' its very sweet.

In fact, the lyrics in general are really good.

The choreo is immaculate, it matches the fun vibes!

The effects are doing a great job of enhancing the MV and the song.

This song overall is incredible and I can understand why they got so popular in the first place.

Next is Deja Vu.

4 minutes? In this economy

There's an Eyeball?

Artsy shots oh my?

Interesting..I am very confused

Nice choreo so far..The boys are excellent as always

Is the lady Jesus? Or is she like an angel?

Ooo editing..very nice.

Vocals are very pretty as always. The boys absolutely killed it.

Why are we running? What's going on?

I feel like I was on acid?

I feel like I didn't have a lot to say for Deja Vu..

I really liked it. I will await their next comeback.

Deja Vu (2006)

Patchy but always-watchable time travel flick that doesn't quite pull it off. Denzel Washington is, as always, excellent in the lead, but all the other parts are underwritten and have no substance, most noticeably Jim Caviezel as the bad guy, whose thoughts, intentions and backstory remain a complete mystery throughout. Some of the time travel stuff is made more wildly implausible than it need be, and some of the middle period of the film, in which events are all being merely watched on TV screens, feels stagnant and uninvolving.

You get the impression that the makers were trying for some kind of 12 Monkeys-meets-Se7en kinda story, and while you can glimpse elements of both, it never even approaches the emotional power and satisfaction of those masterpieces, but as a more dumbed-down popcorn flick that isn't anywhere near as intelligent or masterful as it hopes to be, it's still an entertaining and enjoyable watch the whole way through.

6.7/10

Within the realm of each of its eight captivating episodes, The Gentlemen unfolds with a seamless blend of cinematic finesse and narrative intricacy, where the passage of time becomes almost imperceptible. Director Guy Ritchie’s signature knack for storytelling shines brightly throughout, as he deftly navigates…
