because school is kicking my ass…im procrastinating, so heres music artists i think arcane characters would listen to 😜😜
THIS IS VERY LIMITED TO MY BASIC ASS MUSIC TASTE THAT CONSISTS OF POP AND ONLY POP SO DON’T JUDGE ME 🔥🔥
vi
i know shes based off like riot grrrl aesthetics but i dont listen to that genre (if u do, pls give me song recs ‼️)
i’ve seen some people say she would listen to rap and punk rock (which is defo accurate) but idk if it’s just me and my basic ass music taste but i think she would LOVE bruno mars/silk sonic and the weeknd. idk why, she just would. i have seen WAYY TOO MANY edits of her to weeknd songs. anyways i can totally see her belting locked out of heaven outside of cait’s window.
caitlyn
this woman is a certified pink pony and thought daughter. when she was in shower, she was TOTALLY listening to casual (also, in a way, good luck babe can almost apply to her and vi’s relationship during their breakup in the rain) i think she would also love marina, suki waterhouse, queen, blondie, or japanese breakfast (i swear im not projecti-)
jinx
mainly charli xcx, poppy, and grimes. i dont think i have to explain. this gremlin would live brat summer to the fullest. but she would listen to a little of everything, thanks to the influence of everyone around her (silco, ekko, a little of vi and vander)
ekko
childish gambino, tyler, mfdoom (iykyk), and maybe some odetari with jinx (??) also, for some reason i think benzo would’ve played a lot of michael jackson and abba, so maybe ekko would listen to them too. no, i will not elaborate, he just seems like the typa guy to listen to groovy old people music.
(i feel like he would also dabble in some some bruno mars with vi)
viktor
mozart and beethoven cuz hes a nerd 🤓☝️
but actually i think he would listen to classic rock and new wave, so like duran duran, talking heads, queen, fleetwood mac, blondie, etc.
jayce
this man prolly listens to coldplay or sum shit idk
mel
lana??? she does have that old money vibe to her ig. shes hard to pin down in terms of actual music taste rather than vibe.
if anyone listens to classical music, its mel. but that is boring (unless you listen to classical yourself. if so, you do you pookie 🫡)
ultimately i think she would like and relate to folklore (specifically the last great american dynasty) and evermore (ESPECIALLY CLOSURE)
silco
this man was GOTH. he totally listens to stuff like the cure. he would also dabble in a little bit of abba. because i said so. and i think abba would be popular among older folks of the undercity.
anyways im just yapping at this point so-

Tumblr media
MAX VERSTAPPEN ᝰ.ᐟ₊ ⊹ - calls you schat or liefje - has an obsession with your legs. loves having them in his lap when you're cuddling or wrapped around his waist - his love language is physical touch! he's a man of few words so it's small touches like a hand on your back or a quick kiss to your hand that let you know he's there and how he feels - max will do anything for you and he cannot help but spoil you. you barely have to mention something once before he's driving to the store or ordering it online for you. nothing is too big or too small for him to get for you.
max's music taste is... limited? so anytime you're driving anywhere, he's more than happy for you to have aux! he loves discovering new artists through you and with you and anytime you make him a playlist he always listens to it pre-race. of course he has to let everyone know that his amazing love made it for him. to which they usually reply "we know max, we heard the first time." (really they think it's sweet that he's so dopey for you)
he literally supplies you with all the redbull you could ever want! sometimes he 'jokes' that you're only with him for that reason but a quick kiss to his cheek has him blushing and flustered and the thought has left his head. speaking of blushing and flustered, max loves when you play dangerous games with him. sliding your hand higher and higher up his thigh at dinner before sneaking off to the bathroom with him.
max is obsessed with watching you come apart underneath him and he puts as much determination and passion into making you cum for him as he does into his driving. he loves how fucked out you look and he can't get enough of gently holding your throat and telling you to open before spitting, relishing in the way he feels you swallow under his hand. he also can't get enough of watching you in the mirror. bending you over the sink, putting you on your hands and knees on the bed, bending you over against the hallway wall; anywhere there's a mirror, max is sliding into you from behind and whispering filth into your ear as his hips roll into yours.
he loves jetting off to city breaks for the weekend with you when he can; new york, paris, seoul, budapest, prague, tokyo, florence, krakow, chicago, seville, nice; your passport is full of stamps and stickers from your trips with him. you've started a scrapbook together with a postcard and a polaroid of the two of you in every city you've been to!
he loves taking you to various art galleries and museums in the countries and cities you visit and he's become surprisingly good at being an instagram bf and taking aesthetic pictures of you in galleries and exhibits. max loves watching you as you look around, the way your face scrunches when you're focusing, the way your lips move as you read the placards, the way you excitedly tell him all you know or you've read about the exhibit and the way you're moved by the things you see. cosy date nights are a must with him whenever he's home and most nights (whether wild nights out or dinner dates at home) end with you cuddled into his side on the couch and the cats on his lap. it's his ideal evening and he won't tell you yet but he plans on hopefully making it a permanent fixture in his life soon.
max loves your passion for life and your passion and drive for the things you love, even if he doesn't love them in the same way or understand them. he learns so many new things through you and with you. he loves the way that you light up his life and make him feel warm. max swears he could never win another race for his whole career and he'd still get that world champion feeling just by looking into your eyes.
"schat, what do you think about going to paris next weekend?" max asks. you giggle and look at him leaning against the bedroom door frame as you lie on the bed, with jimmy curled up on top of your feet and sassy cuddled into your side, "max!" you point at the still half-unpacked suitcases at the foot of the bed, "we just got back from prague!" he shrugs, seemingly un-phased by your argument, "your point is?" "we can't go away again! what about the cats?"
max sighs and crosses the room to plop down onto the bed next to you, sassy glaring at him as he accidentally shifts her from her cosy spot at your side, you stroke her back absentmindedly as she takes up a new spot on your stomach, "we can ask lando to cat-sit!" you roll your eyes with a smile, max is grinning like a child, "you've already booked the tickets haven't you?" "nooooo..." "max." "maybe..." "baby!" he pouts at you and you can't help the way you laugh, leaning to kiss his cheek, "you're trouble, you know that?" he gently pushes sassy and jimmy out of the way and they almost huff at him before stalking out of the room as he rolls on top of you, pressing a dangerous kiss to your neck, "you love that I'm trouble liefje..."

Lovebrush Chronicles: Godheim Review
_________________________________________
My very long, informal, and definitely biased review. This will contain minor spoilers for the Godheim arc only so take caution. This review is also only limited to the Godheim series so there will be no overall thoughts on the game itself. I followed Otome Kitten's format and I really hope it helps out any beginners to LBC.
____________________________________
Tumblr media
ART:
I found the art very pretty and was extremely glad to see that they did not skip out on giving us CGs either! The sprites all looked good, but I personally have some issues with Lars' outfit (the orange did not look good on you sweetie 💀).
Not all CGs are drawn by the same artist however, which may be off putting for some. The total count number of proper CG's for each route (not including common route) boils down to around 4-5, so that also may be a pet peeve for some.
On another note, there are also mini CG's which appear as small boxes, whether you consider it as an actual CG is up to you. Personally, I enjoyed the roles they played towards aiding the narrative.
Unrelated note, I'm banging on the floor crying and wondering who the hell did Ayn's CGs (the one where he was cleaning his sword was my absolute favorite 😍) and why didn't they come back.
MUSIC:
If there's one aspect of the game that I shall praise to the ends of the earth, it's the music.
Colour me shocked when I listened to the intricate and deep soundtracks for the first time, they just took my breath away! There were many gorgeous orchestral scores that depicted the fantasy setting perfectly. Not to mention the battle ost's which had more effort put into them than necessary.
My personal favorite OST's would be the "River's End", and "Starry Sky", which plays the same tune as the OP song you hear when you log onto the game. It's honestly so iconic. 😭👌
Opening theme:
youtube
VOICE ACTING:
I was absolutely flummoxed by the stacked japanese voice cast, which all included extremely famous seiyuus from the otome industry:
1. Ayn Alwyn
[JP VA: KENN]: Shelby Snail (Cupid Parasite), Yukimaro (9R.I.P), Limbo (Bustfellows)
2. Alkaid McGrath
[JP VA: Tachibana Shinnosuke]: Seiya (9R.I.P), Henri (Piofiore), Rafayel (Love and Deepspace)
3. Lars Rorschach
[JP VA: Junichi Suwabe]: Artem (Tears of Themis), Van Helsing (Code: Realize), Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen)
4. Clarence Clayden
[JP VA: Kosuke Toriumi]: Rei Mukuni (CollarXMalice), Ichiya (Variable Barricade), Chojiro (Nightshade)
5. Cael Anselm
[JP VA: Daisuke Hirakawa]: Saint Germain (Code: Realize), Tower Overlord (Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk), Lucas Proust (Virche Evermore)
COMMON ROUTE:
To my delight, the pacing was done very well. Nothing was dragged out and the introduction to the overall plot of the game was well established minus a certain plot point which definitely could have benefited better by being introduced in the common route itself.
I didn't really expect it to turn out as dark as it did however. The common route + modern prologue took me around a total estimation of more than 4 hours but in reality the prologue itself shouldn't take that long at all.
ROUTE ORDER:
Once you've completed the common route, you are given the option to start either Ayn's or Alkaid's route. After you've completed both, Lars' route is unlocked. And once you've finished all three routes, Clarence's route unlocks as the grand finale.
This was my personal playthrough and I wouldn't have changed it if given the chance. I believe it had the best flow of story progression. Though that was mainly because I wouldn't have enjoyed Alkaid's route as much if I'd played Ayn's first:
Alkaid = Ayn = Lars = Clarence
____________________________________
AYN ALWYN:
- Crown Prince of Godheim
- Tsundere
- Sweet tooth ❤️
Tumblr media
Ayn is Lars's cousin, but you soon find out that there is not a hint of familial love between them. He shows up as a mysterious figure during the common route and portrays a conflicting character, making the heroine unsure of his standing. While he appears blunt and crude, he is a determined young man who's sworn vengeance, and with an unexpected love for sweets.
Ayn's route in my opinion had the best consistent pacing as well as romance. I did find the romance somewhat abrupt early in the story, but the strong chemistry between him and the heroine more than made up for it! 🥰 It was just so enjoyable to watch them banter with one another and watching them just click.
I enjoyed the storyline for this route a lot and I think it had something to do with the fact that Ayn's route provided a different perspective in comparison to the others. In this route, we learn more about the the political situation surrounding Godheim and the royal family.
I also loved Ayn as a character, and not unexpectedly became my oshi ❤️.I do think a lot of people will enjoy him as a love interest. His route also has a wee bit of spice 👀, so for y'all thirsty gamers be sure to savor it slowly, as it's the only bit of spice we're getting here lmao. I did find some of his actions, mostly in the bad ends, to be OOC, but I easily brushed it off seeing as how much I liked him.
ALKAID MCGRATH:
- Member of the Noventrate
- Good, sweet boi
- Tea
Tumblr media
Devoted and caring, Alkaid is the mage assigned to guard the heroine during her stay in Godheim. He's always expressing his concern for the heroine and will do anything to help her, even if it means betraying his mission.
Alkaid is the character who the heroine interacts the most during the common route. His romance with the heroine was sweet, even if it did feel way over the top in it's initial stages when I first played it. But once I got to learn more about him, I realized that he truly just wanted the best for the heroine, romantic feelings aside. 🥺
The route was fine. But I personally wasn't the biggest fan of the direction (?) it took on halfway. Some parts of it felt irrational to me and didn't really feel like it had any real relevance to its own story.
On another note, Alkaid is such a dreamy man. 😩 I adore just how respectful of a man he is in general (women respect juice, bottoms up!), and it was so sweet how attentive he was in making sure the heroine was always out of harm's way. I guess you could say he was someone akin to a hero in fairytales.
LARS RORSCHACH:
- Emperor of Godheim
- Good at combing hair 🥰
- That chest doe 👀
Tumblr media
Known as the "Tyrant Emperor" from the heroine's manga, he immediately sweeps her off her feet, claiming her as his bride the moment she first arrived at Godheim. While his initial impression was flirty and playful, he lives up to his name as a cold-blooded tyrant. For some aspects at least.
His route focused more on the Silver Knight, which was the main (and wrong) reason why I enjoyed his route so much! 😆 On that note, I think that the writers had a bone to pick with Lars. They just had to force him to share the spotlight with an intriguing side character lmfao. The route itself was paced and executed well for the majority, but the quality of the writing towards the end was slightly skewered.
But to be honest, I quite enjoyed Lars a lot as a character, rather than a love interest. It was interesting to see the conditions surrounding his birth as a tyrant and his motivations for his questionable actions.
That's not to say that the romance wasn't enjoyable. I actually quite liked the relationship between him and the heroine. I found some moments they shared together really sweet. I also adored the development of Lars' feelings, and you can see just how important the heroine's existence was to him at the end of the route.
Though I guess I would have found the romance more believable if the heroine articulated her feelings for Lars more. I found it difficult to see the romance from her side. In short, the romance wasn't it's strongest point.
Clarence Clayden:
- Godheim's Archmage
- Get the tissues
- I've never been the same since...
Tumblr media
Clarence has somewhat poised himself as an antagonist, only giving leeway in Lars' route. Distant and cold, he is stubborn in wanting to use the heroine for his goal and is willing to sacrifice anything to achieve it.
This route was an emotional rollercoaster. It broke me down, dumped my heart 6ft underground, trampled on its grave, and then some. It left me broken for a whole week for real goodness gracious...😭
This route can probably considered the "True Route", seeing as how it tackles the problem straight on unlike in other routes. The pacing slows down a little bit for a few chapters, but once it picked itself back up, it picked up HARD.
Now let's get to the romance. Out of all routes, some may say it had the least sugary romance, and a part of me agrees. But do igaf? No! ❤️Clarence turned out to be such a longingly sweet character and despite all the harm and pain he's done, I have no qualms in forgiving him and wanting to love him with all my heart🥺, as does the heroine.
I honestly don't want to say too much as it may ruin the experience. I went into this route completely blind and boy was I glad. All I can say that this route was the most popular out of all the routes for good reason. Got me playing up to 2 am with no regrets.😆😭
CAEL ANSELM:
- The Silver Knight
- The bias wrecker
- The sus
- He ruined me...
Tumblr media
He is known in Godheim as the Silver Knight as well as the leader of the Rebellion. Decisive and apathetic, the heroine is unable to affect him emotionally in any form.🤡
Cael does not have an actual route, but a personal story, labeled as Expedition from his POV which may serve as an epilogue to the Godheim series. In his story, any unanswered questions are explained here, as well as the many actions he took that did not make it on screen.
If this wasn't a review I'd spend one whole section brainrotting about him so be grateful I'm trying to keep this short. 😅 Cael is a surprisingly interesting character by nature and it was very liberating to finally get a glimpse of his true feelings and thoughts throughout the heroine's journey in Godheim.
I'm scared to say more in case it may ruin any surprises. In my opinion, I enjoyed his story a LOT! It definitely made me feel depressed and empty in its own way and it hurts my heart to see that he never got a route of his own for reasons I won't get into right now. Absolutely amazing and one of my favorite parts of the Godheim series!
_________________________________________
TRUE EPILOGUE:
Tumblr media
Once you've finished all routes, the game will give you the option to choose one "True Ending", wherein you choose one of the boys to have a happily ever after with and by your own accord.
"One can only paint a world in which they believe in." 🥰
Please note that you can only choose one boy at a time. Your choice will then give you a Pictura based on which boy you choose.
To change your "True Ending", buy the Diadem from the shop to change your choice. You will not receive a different Pictura however.
I think the best thing about these endings were the music.😆 Each soundtrack was unique to each character and drop dead gorgeous to listen to. 😩
HEROINE (LITTLE PAINTER):
- Cheeky
- Anonymous manga author
- Needs a therapist (rly tho)
Tumblr media
Despite China's strange attempts at creating self-insert heroines by leaving them nameless, the Little Painter was far from a blank slate! She's extremely relatable when it comes to her reactions and actions. Often times I would react a certain way to something an LI said or did, only for her to do the same thing! 🤣 I guess that could also count as a self-insert personality.
But if there's one thing I admire her greatly for, it would be her drive and determination to save Godheim. Her journey was far from easy and I doubt I could ever stay sane the way she did. Tbh, I didn't like the fact that her sufferings were never truly addressed properly, or rather, professionally ig?
I also found her quick adaptation and flexibility to her new environment extremely impressive. That goes the same to the way she wielded her powers for the first time. And how she grew stronger to go head to toe with even Clarence in his own route! You👏 Go👏Get👏 Em👏 Girl!
That said, she's not perfect. Some people found her to pushy and annoying though I personally found it okay. I was really glad how she didn't force herself to tolerate any crap and got that anger out rightfully.😆 (Asmoran deserved it...)
Tumblr media
_________________________________________
Final Thoughts:
Tumblr media
I have enjoyed my journey immensely! The whole premise and setting drew me in, and I was surprised with the impressive narration which absolutely pummeled me to the ground (mostly on Clarence's route and no I'm not shutting up abt that).
The localization was also really superb? Yes it had a few typos + mistakes here and there, but they really pulled out all the stops when it came to making the dialogue natural and relatable. Not to mention a few large words that even I don't understand. 😂
It's not without it's imperfections of course. There are definitely some issues with the writing. And if you're looking for heavy romance or even fluff, Godheim is not the place to go to. 😅
Playing the Godheim arc took me about a week-ish, considering I had to level up and such. It may be a tedious process for some, but for me, it was an iron gate which I violently shook every day, screaming for the next chapter.
All in all, it's definitely worth playing! You don't lose much anyway considering it's free, so just give it a try. You can always drop it if you don't like it. My rating for this game is also very much biased and should not be taken seriously:
8/10

JUST FOUND YOUR BLOG AND I LOVE YOUR ART!!!!
Your line art is so smooth and the colors too! How are u underrated
Thanks :]]
Actually I remember doing thick linearts before to make it look like y2k bubbly styled and I was thinking of going back again since I wanted to make logos or icons like this one:
Tumblr media
These ig were just a lil practice if someday I'll be making one (or more of these). Also this is just an example btw, these are artist-made game icons. Imo, if it were me to be commissioned to design one or if I was assigned by a game dev, then most likely its gonna look like something that y'all won't know who did that thing lol.
Besides, I'm pretty sure a lot of people were inspired by my artstyle. 😭 Also in case you guys don't know what these are, I'll show you guys mine. (NOTE: You can still check on archive, I don't mind though-)
Examples of my artworks with thick lineart:
Tumblr media
The first one was Hatsune Miku fanart
I kinda remember drawing this back in the day since 2023, the sketch version (on my other sketchpad) was discontinued. Supposed to finish it but, sadly I gave up because the hair was something that reminded me of an Inkling from Splatoon (rarely I noticed the first miku fanart also reminded me too lmao).
I wish I'd do this again hopefully if I could use my artstyle, then yeah. Watch here if you want to see the speedpaint :3 : https://youtu.be/sRE3-snDGkM?si=op3tISbGFTjLCcdB
Tumblr media
Next one is Bomb Rush Cyberfunk fanart
Okay LISTEN, I may not be good at anatomy but might as well tried especially RED's head. For the BG, I only duplicated the character + added a screenshot/fakescreenshot/whatever, to make it look related to both y2k & frutiger aero (same applies to Hatsune Miku).
Nothing to say much but I've been thinking of making more character concept arts in the future & maybe work on shoes since they look a bit too complicated much.
Overall, I'd say it isn't bad. I'll just leave as it is for now (until some BRC fan shows up and sees this).
Tumblr media
Last but not the least, my very first artist-made album cover
I remembered drawing this for future use if I ever find a music composer either if they can do DnB, game soundtrack or whatever but it slightly depends on them. Also shout out to Lxchee Music! They're the ones who compose music like these. They even commented on my speedpaint video!!! (after using their songs lol).
Such a shame that I am limited to drawing only however, I wish I also was a composer of this whooooooole album then everyone's gonna listen to my bangers. One time I used to make music in Beepbox.co (a website where you can compose there).
There are some music-composing softwares that most people use for their game making & also songs. I wish I'd even use FL studio or other music-composing. Reminds me, I also have one friend who makes music (unrelated to dnb or any genre) using accordian & any other instruments that he uses. I swear, he is so good in composing Nintendo Orchestra-music related I can tell.
Conclusion
No worries though, I didn't say I hate using thick lineart but its sometimes too much for the anatomy still and might not fit pretty well. I can still do another one hopefully just to focus on more y2k aesthetic. But if it were me to learn anatomy, might as well use thin lineart and just increase to make it look like there is perspective on it.
Anyways, ig this might be a long one but I do hope you understand what I mean-

okay be prepared for a long ass message right here 'cause i'm going through your playlists and they're interesting and cool af 👀

alex manes???????????????????? do you know how in my emotions i still am about that man??? malex??????????? devastated me for four years. the first song on the alex playlist being 'numb'????????????? PERFECT SONG CHOICE FOR ALEX. (also one of my favorite songs of all time. tho i am very partial to numb/encore as well.) 'i wanted to be the kind of person who won battles, but now i look in the mirror and i don't even see myself sometimes.'????? 😢 i do appreciate that you left out the last and for me, the most painful part of that quote tho.
the max and billy playlist????? dear billy????? 'i imagine that we could have become friends. good friends. like a real brother and sister'?????? again. ouch.
kili?????????? why are you out to hurt me cass??????
dick grayson??? 👀 i'm personally more of a jason todd fan but very interesting 👀 'dick gray's getting ready for a night out on the town mix (night on the town being beating the shit out of the joker' and you know.... maybe killing him for murdering your little shit of a baby brother?????? (only for your fail-dad to bring him back to life)
the love i have for you for putting bezos I on your kendall roy playlist 💖
(also how the fuck did i not know that the tu-tu-du-du max verstappen meme was an actual song????? that fucking slaps?????)
buck piñata era 😂😂😂😂😭😂
grandson *chef's kiss*
(this might have been even longer to begin with 'cause i added like 30 songs i LOVE that you used on playlists but it was getting so riddiculously long 😅😅😅)
(also last point, i happened to spot some songs from assassin's creed 2 and uncharted 4, you gaming???? 🤨)
Jas 🥺 ily.
Making playlists is my passion maybe actually, lol. I am the Road Trip Music Conductor in my friend group, and I always need something that fits the Vibe. I don’t play around about my playlists, I can’t lie. (Dream job maybe used to be making those Spotify official playlists because I learned that was a real job when I was in high school, and let me tell you!! I am lowkey sad it did not happen).
My playlists at this point are also kind of a scrapbook of all the interests I’ve had (though I have like 100+ more that are private/incomplete from other fandoms) and I kind of love you sending this because it’s like a trail of all the things I’ve loved 😅.
Malex had a CHOKEHOLD on me, and social network was on repeat in my dorm room for like a whole semester. I think I could probably quote that whole film if promoted - 100% I could tell you sorry my Prada was at the cleaners along with my hoodie and my fuck-you flip flops (iconic, we must never let it die).
And yeah, anything involving protective older sibling/younger sibling they couldn’t defend forever, very much I am going to latch onto it. Hence the many Billy & Max playlists and kili and dick Grayson (my beloved blorbo).
(YOU DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THE TU-TU-TU-TU MAX VERSTAPPEN??? I break the speed limit to that song on the regular (jk, jk, or am I 😏))
And yes, I game, lol. But it’s literally exclusively F1 23, uncharted, Jedi fallen order, and the Assassins Creed Ezio trilogy on rotation (the Witcher thrown in occasionally).

i was looking over the cheating tag and omg regardless of people’s theories i just feel so icky. alex is one of my favorite artists and songwriters and one of the only people i bother to watch interviews and follow. obv i dont know this dude from squat but it still makes me sad 😭 tips on how to cope with this tee hee 🤭 ///
A couple of things -
In terms of rockstar behaviour, cheating is vanilla. I'm not trying to defend it, and it's obviously shit for the people involved, but it could be a lot worse.
Accept artists as flawed people. Whether they're musicians, writers, actors etc, they will probably have done something dodgy, or hold opinions you disagree with. If you're only going to consume art from perfect or squeaky clean people, you're going to have a very short list. Of course I know there are limits to this..!
If it does really bother you, you can always stay out of the gossip side of things, and carry on listening to the music.

I’ve been listening to your songs during my evening down time. All of them are nice and calming (or well the ones I didn’t know I already know basically ABBA’s and Queen’s entire sound track). But I had a lot of fun. So thank you. I might work my way through your other answers too when I have the time. Maybe then I can figure out your music taste enough to recommend you some Dutch songs if you want to hear them (or I could do Belgian artists who sing in English, there’s plenty of those too) cuz I think that’s music you wouldn’t really hear and I did miss speak your language day so I might want to make up for that.
-🌲
I'm very relieved to hear you know ABBA and Queen so well I would've been concerned if you didn't. I'm so glad you liked the songs though!!!
omg yes I'd love some recs for Dutch artists! and I'm fine with listening to the songs in Dutch bc I like listening to non-english music
I also missed speak your language day 😭 I pretty much can only speak english but I was going to try and write at least one post in spanish using my limited high school spanish knowledge, or I was also considering posting a video of me signing in ASL since that's the language I'm most proficient in but I just got distracted by other things
also I know a lot of people make fun of Dutch as a language, and I will admit Netherlands Dutch does sound kind of goofy at times (although it is helpful how there's so many similar words to english). but the Belgian Dutch accent makes it sound soooo much prettier

HAHAHAHA Every Turk Family has one of those names and unironically mine does too 🫡 Tell your mother thank you she is a very lovely lady
I know all of the artists you listed below because my dad blasts them on the radio everytime we go out... I call it old people music but hey I never said it was bad, they're awesome and I might have memorised some of the artist's songs from how much I listen to them... Barış Manço is a classic without a doubt! Fun fact my parents were able to go to his concert and got a signed picture with him I will always envy how lucky they were 😭 I love how women in the industry made the most iconic songs I hear them often in weddings too! Or clubs, even though I only went to one once I'm not very fond of them...
My questions were do you have any tips or inspiration with how you draw! I love your art and artstyle and it's honestly what I've been trying to achieve for a while, I can't believe I'm learning how to draw men because of a silly lawyer show it's a disease...
(We are just having a conversation at this point) (I feel like those people who speak out loud in public) (I hope you and anyone who's reading this is having a good day :) be kind to yourself and others everyone)
OH MY GOD i envy them too😭😭 also omg that sounds like heaven to me. the other day i went out partying and i felt sooo out of place because i only knew like 3 songs. omg it was so so bad.
hmmm tips and inspiration…. my number 1 tip would definitely be to look at a lot of other artists you like and analyze what exactly you like. and then try to emulate that in your own work. i try to look for inspiration everywhere - artists online, traditional artists, old masters, 3d artists, even theatre and poetry, etc. - doesnt mean that i am equally inspired by them all (because all these things at once sound so scary and big but they really arent!) but rather, i try to be open for anything and that helps me find inspiration :) 
ill try to explain my thoughts more under the cut because this got long:
for me for example, so far i only posted some art i made that was lined (which, i would say makes up maybe half of the art i draw - i mostly sketch and recently have been building up the courage to paint more) and one of my inspirations is meltow. i think if you go over and check out their art youll definitely see it lol. but also i love the clean look some comics have and my friends tell me my art looks like it belongs in a comic which, i guess yeah :) when it comes to colors and composition i LOVE this artists works. i still have a lot to learn and just looking at their works inspires me so much!!!
i will say i have ALWAYS struggled with lineart. its probably the worst thing in the world to me because it never feels right!!! i like lining on paper with harsh inks and stiff ink nibs that allow for like. very little variety in line weight, but i havent done that in over 3 years (i hope i can get back to that). but yes, something about lineart makes me feel so icky when i use any brush that reacts to the pressure you put on your tablet LOL i just hate it. ugh. i havent been able to work it out.
it was only in 2020 i think that i decided to try it out with a thick brush with some texture and no pen pressure. that probably was the first time i got actual lineart that (at the time) i liked done. and then later on, discovering that other artists are able to achieve beautiful drawings with similar brushes AND that lining with a very simple brush can feel so satisfying helped me evolve a lot! until 2022, i actually wasnt able to give my art the kind of finished look that i wanted. so what people consider my style is really just born out of my limits and working with them. that obviously doesnt mean that i dont try to challenge myself as much as i can. i do and i think everyone should! thats what makes art so fun
if theres any good advice i can give to a beginner itd probaaaaably be. okay this is difficult and i feel like im not really qualified for this. as a hobbyist much less so because a lot of the knowledge and skills i acquired was through an intuitive process (i could never stick with habits such as regular studies or warmups or whatever is meant to be good for you) which definitely isnt the most “productive” way but i mean it doesnt have to be. its just a hobby! you dont have to perfect art. but yes, i would definitely say dont stop drawing. youll always be your harshest critic and at the beginning, and especially if you begin at an older age because youve been training your eye your whole life but your drawing skills for only a relatively short time you will notice a lot of mistakes. and youll think you wont achieve the image you have in your head. and maybe you wont (because youll always strive for more and youll never really be satisfied as an artist bla bla) for a while. but you have to keep drawing! try out different strategies, find out how other artists draw, watch speedpaints, try out different papers and pencils, try everything that makes it more fun and keep going! it will all pay off!! 
in my eyes theres also no point in saying “i should wait till im better to draw this idea i have” because if inspiration strikes you you should use that. even though i still sometimes catch myself thinking like that. you can always redraw things later on!! if theres anything that will keep you drawing you should use that! like getting into shows and games that make me want to draw helps a ton LOL people are not joking when they say getting obsessed with one character is the quickest way to improve. i 100% agree!!! if you saw my first nachos you wouldnt even recognize him. not kidding wow this got long. thank you for the questions though!! i hope some of my rambling can help you. feel free to talk to me whenever!

artist spotlight: wasia project
 I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS BAND AND WAYY TOO LATE
so I watched heartstopper in April/May, like everyone else, but I only listened to will gao's band like,, now
ANYWAYS Wasia Project is a band consisting of Will Gao and Olivia Hardy, they are siblings! it's so rare to see sibling projects nowadays, I'm here for it. They also feature Tom Pacitti on bass and Luca Wade on drums, to perform. Will and Olivia do the producing and songwriting. 
Although their discography is limited, the tracks are top quality. my personal favourites are:
U Deserve
youtube
U Deserve has really touching lyrics and this minor key (at the bridge) that is just. amazing. art. I don't know anymore. I can also hear the erhu (I think?) which is so great, I love how they incorporate so many different instruments/styles and make it work so well. and also representation ofc 🥰
"faking 'til I make it 'til I'm finally okay"
impossible
youtube
impossible has great beats and instrumentals. I especially love the ending! the song slows and gets more quiet, then the beat drops and the music swells, everything gets SO HYPED. HOLY SHIT. I hope they release an instrumental version, I would listen to it on repeat!! Olivia's vocals and clear pronunciation also really does it for me, it makes everything sound so crisp.
I might cry bc i will never get to see them live, the beat drop would be so fun when played live 😭😭😭
these two tracks are solid 10/10s. the rest of their discography range from 6-8/10, so they are all really decent! honourable mentions: misfit biscuit, burning eyes r calling, ur so pretty
I am absolutely obsessed. I started listening yesterday and i already have 100+ scrobbles of this band (mostly for u deserve and impossible)! I don't get bored at all, because the little differences from a conventional pop song throw me off. although snippets of the songs keep repeating in my head, instead of feeling annoyed, it makes me want to listen more and experience it fully. up till now, I still don't know the full lyrics and I probably can't sing along very accurately, but it's still so so memorable?? this is what a good instrumental achieves. I can't stop myself from jamming out and nodding my head, and I don't know why
I can't believe I wouldn't have heard of this band without heartstopper, I have to thank the show for introducing me to so much music. also will gao is definitely my favourite hs cast member now, sorry bash 🤭

thank you! not too much work left for me i hope haha
my first language is russian and i also speak a tiny bit of german! been too long since i practiced it though
thank you for recs on bowie and VU!! i'm far from an expert on them lmao so i'll listen to these albums! i've only listened to earlier bowie albums from the man who sold the world to diamond dogs i think. life on mars must be one of my faves, i remember having it on repeat for WEEKS last year lmao. i dreamed of getting hunky dory on vinyl but couldn't find it in my local record stores :( the same with many other bowie, UV and lou albums too, no idea why they're such rare animals here. a ziggy copy i have must be one of the best sounding records in my whole collection tho! do you collect physical media?
i love velvet goldmine too!! i love todd haynes' style and it really does kinda feel like an ao3 fanfic lmao. this kind of biopics must be my favorite, when they're unauthorized or loosely based on actual stories. do you have any favorite music biopics?
my favorite artists are the beatles and john lennon! and as for the third one ehh.. even though it's not classic rock i'll say lana del rey, ever since her new single came out i've been listening to it obsessively
i see you love beatles too, so i'm just gonna say my favorite albums by them are the white album and magical mystery tour! as for john, my absolute fav of his is walls & bridges, but i guess imagine would be a good place to start as it's his dreamiest and maybe... softest? while still showing some of his edgier sides of the early 70s. plastic ono band is close to my favs after W&B but it definitely can feel too unsettling, not without lighter parts though. his part of double fantasy is full of highlights too (i like yoko's songs too though!) ugh sorry i could talk about john for hours really lmao
and as for lana- since we're into classic rock i think ultraviolence is right up that alley. it sounds so timeless it could well fit into the 70s. my other favs of hers are honeymoon and blue banisters!
i wish i watched more music documentaries and concerts but it's often too hard bc i know i'll never get to experience it live 😭 i've seen the beatles' shea concert tho and it was good! do you have favorite live shows and docs?
Once again, srry that it took me forever to reply and omg it’s almost Christmas lol But I’m excited to finally know you btw
By this time, you probably are done with your work, right? I hope that is the case so you can finally have a nice winter rest
I also try to learn German too cause like I have been obsessed with so many German artists for so long, the obvious one is Nico 😂 and also I love Kraftwerk and Rammstein, but my knowledge in German is limited to the random odd of the language
I’m also a big fan of Bowie early work too, just not so much on his folkish day lol. Still, The man who sold the world gotta be one of the my most fav albums of all time. Hunky is amazing too! Life On Mars is literally one of the song that hooked me on to David. I’m not sure if you knew this but the song Queen Bitch from this album is literally David trying to do a VU-style songwriting. So basically the narrator of that song supposed to be Lou or smth lol So yeah another weird Bowie-Lou Reed fanfic vibe 😂
About Vinyl, all of my fav artists’ records are hard to find here too, except for Bowie lol he is everywhere for some reason so prob a good thing. But no one in Thailand seems to know Velvet Underground or Lou hahaha.
I don’t own much records cause they are tbh quite expensive for me. But I have Diamond Dogs, VU’s debut album, and Lou’s Coney Island Baby on vinyl. All of them are the best things ever! But I do collect a lot of CDs
I truly not very big on biopic but Nowhere Boys is very amazing in my opinion. I love that films very much. I see that you are a big Beatles fans, what do you think about the film? I’m not sure about the accuracy but I think it’s beautiful how they depict Lennon-McCartney friendship.
Omg! I love Lana too! She is one of my all time fav artists and songwriters! Her new songs are so amazing. I’m alway intrigued by her lyrics and the way she expresses them
I haven’t listened to all of the White Albums and Magic Mysteries but so far I love George’s guitar style in the White Album so much that it’s prob gonna be my new favorite Beatles album. Personally, Let It Be is my favorite album by them but I haven’t watch the Get Back doc yet so I might need to do that!
Thank you for your recommendation on John’s music! I have been interested in John and Yoko’s works for sometime now but didn’t know where to start. They are such an iconic artistic present of the past century!
You probably have psychic ability for sure cause recently I just put Ultraviolence on repeat lol. Also it’s just delighted me how she put Lou’s name in Brooklyn Baby >< For Kana, I also love Honeymoon and Norman Fucking Rockwell
For live concert, I think I watched a bit too much Bowie’s live tbh. But I just cannot resist cause his stage crafts are just one of the best and his shows are my comfort place. I think Ziggy’s live and Diamond’s Dog’s live (you can see those in Cracked Actors’s doc) are probably his best. My fav act is the one he did Hamlet with Cracked Actors. But the one that comfort me the most is the Glass Spider tour live tbh. It’s a pretty meh album overall but the live show are so great and late 80s Bowie is like a father figure to me so I come back to that all the time
Not sure if you’ve watched Hayes’ Velvet Underground documentary yet but it’s very good! It could be focus too much on the early years of the band at time and doesn’t go beyond the post-John era so much but still there are a lot of direct history to learn from the doc as it has John and Moe, as well as, everyone who involved with the band and New York avant-garde scene of the 60s. Still, I personally think it doesn’t talk enough about Sterling Morrison and completely dismiss Doug Yule which is a bit sad. But I understand where Hayes is coming from tho, having John as the strongest present of the band as the leading narrative lol. Also the film is a bit pro-John Cale cause well… Lou is dead 😐 so that is a head-up
Anyways, I hope you have a great holiday and cannot wait to know who you are!
Tons of love,
Tawan!

hello frankie!! hope you've been doing well 😊
vidéo therapy is also one of my fave b-sides (I loved it as soon as I heard that instrumental in the opening I was like "oh yeah she's a fave")! as for lyrics I really love the moonshot lyrics - especially that if you wanna change be not afraid part, it's so uplifting, it feels almost like a rallying chant -, seunghyub rap in video therapy, i also love how the opening line of like a flower sound (i like the general theme of that song but I specifically like how that line sounds in korean lol) also on a more fun side, the main line of I like you, "I'm doomed! I'm in love with you" (also another fun one is the opening of hot potato where they're like what do you want to be when you grow up? a potato!). I like how they often reference stars/space/nature (moonshot/fate/like flower/firefly) in their lyrics while also making more fun songs (like I'm gonna) and going all out
ok so my questions this time are : do you have a specific playlist for n.flying or do you usually listen to one album at a time or just play their songs on shuffle or mixed with songs from other artists in a themed playlist?
also I noticed on your blog (and also based on your url lol) that you like quite a lot of other bands and groups, do you mostly listen to bands? which one (can be a band or a group or both) is your favourite and do you have any song recs (if it's not n.flying)?
your secret n.fia ✨
also random question that I just thought of but when a new album comes out do you like listening to teasers and highlights previews or do you wait until the day? do you read the lyrics (and the translation) as soon as they're out? do you watch the mv before listening to the album or the other way around? it can be different for different artists but I tend to go : no listening teasers + mv first then album at once when I'm at home (+ sometimes lyrics/translation of my fave songs after a few days - there are a lot songs that I've not yet checked the translation of, I'm going with pure vibes)
your secret nfia ✨
a rallying chant! that's exactly what it feels like when they sing that part in moonshot 🌙 the main line of i like you is very catchy too! haha that part of hot potato 😩 the first time i listened to that song and i heard that line, i was like??? a potato??? a hot potato??? it's even funnier when you see hweseung's smile after he says it in the mv and that's all i ever see when i listen to the song. now that you've mentioned it, i didn't even realize that a lot of their lyrics reference space and nature themes! that's really neat 👀
i actually don't have a dedicated playlist just for n.flying but i do have a k-bands playlist and that's where i would just play on shuffle! i know some people tend to have certain playlists of songs they want to listen to for specific vibes (happy, sad, angry, etc.) but i generally just put all my fave k-band songs into one playlist. how about you! how do you sort your songs into playlists? 🤔
haha yes, i do like a lot of bands and groups - but i only closely follow/buy merch and albums for a handful of them (being a multi-stan is a bit heavy on the wallet 🥲). i noticed that i do tend to gravitate more towards bands tho! that's probably because i listened to a lot of pop-rock bands/songs growing up.
n.flying recently became one of my fave bands, but my other fave ones are onewe, lucy, and hoppipolla 🥰 and my top fave groups are seventeen, golden child, and verivery!
i put a read more break just so i can list off the song recs here! since i have waaaay too many recs (esp for onewe because their entire discography is just *chef's kiss*), i've tried to limit it to 2 songs per group as well but here it is!
onewe - montage // rain to be
lucy - flowering // snooze
hoppipolla - enough // about time // bonus rec is their cover of 'creep' because it sounds so hauntingly beautiful 😭
seventeen - rock with you // shadow
golden child - wannabe // breathe
verivery - o // privacy
how about you? do you have any other bands and/or groups that you like! i'm also always down for any and all song recs so please feel free to send them my way if you have any 🥰
hmm if it's one of the bands and groups that i mentioned above, i would most definitely listen to the teasers! i feel like it gives me something to look forward to, and it hypes me up even more before the actual album drops.
i watch the mv first too! i like to closely look at the lyrics, just so i can get a better understanding of what the song is about 🥺haha i try to get a grasp of the song on my own before any translations are posted! but recently my translation skills are a bit whack due to lack of practice
it's almost the weekend, but i hope your week is going well! 💛

absolutely can’t stand that people constantly put musicians into boxes and expect them to do the same type of music and songs for the rest of their career like you people need to stop limiting musicians and be more open minded to new things from them just saying…

What are your stance on cultural appropriation? I feel like over the years it has been continuously changing as time went on. Now suddenly, people even attempting at being appreciative wouldn't be enough and more action such as gatekeeping culture would be necessary.
One of my friend for example used to feel insecure about his culture and used to say he was from somewhere else. As he grew older, he grew out of that phase due to possibly more representation on the media since he never used to see his country being talked about before unless it was a French channel. Whenever he shows his pride through K-pop, he would always have messages telling him to "gatekeep" his culture before anyone else takes it. Even just a light-hearted comment of us wasn't safe. He knows that he doesn't want to gatekeep his culture and would love to share it out to as many people as he could. In fact, when a Korean artist Penomeco made an afrobeats song, he felt like he was the only person cheering him on whilst the vast majority hated him since he was doing "cultural appropriation." This is literally the reason why he is now desensitized to any sort, even if it's real or not. People can be very insensitive to when they mention a very topic like this and just say it when people don't want to. It basically gives them the reputation that they always whine whenever someone does something and no matter what, there's no way of winning since there's a cult-like following that agrees with this sort of thing. Although I'm not black so I cannot really say if this is the case, but I can say that it is going a little bit too far that I'm losing faith in humanity every day. I've seen some with Asian culture which isn't as vocal as the others, and yeah it is just as dumb. I think since we grew up with stuff like "International Day" at school or wherever else, we basically grew open to learning about other cultures. It's super obvious that those people has probably never experienced that kind of thing that they wouldn't even know what is it like to share your culture by making food to bring along, dressing up in traditional clothing (or just a football shirt if you were lazy) and listening to music together. I'm from the UK so I don't know if schools has something like this as well. I feel like for the next generation, we should teach kids that we shouldn't gatekeep your culture because it's changing every day and every new generation creates more history to that said culture. You don't just represent your culture, you also represent the future of the culture. Sometimes, things change and that's what happens. The earth used to have one big continent and after millions of years later, we now have 7 since they're broken up in pieces, but do you ever hear about people complaining about that? Before Korea used to be one whole country, now it has broken up into 2. Why aren't we still calling our country Korea? Although you can say that I'm Korean, but they aren't the same country, at least for now unless the Kim family says otherwise. Mad to even think that we separated in the 1950s... just about 70 decades ago, we were one Korea!
Sorry it kinda turned into a rant. 😭
It's fine and I agree I think there's a line between appreciation and appropriation. And it's not a thin line. The only requirement is respect and intent. If it's done in a respectful manor in a way to appreciate the culture with genuine interest and love then it's fine. Obviously there's things that hold a spiritual importance that is just off limits unless you are partaking in it and are invited. And that varies from culture to culture. As long as everything is done with respect and love than I think that's all that matters. I only see issue in things that shows true racial ignorance and prejudice. Like when cultural elements are used as a joke, and being mocked like that's not okay. Like if someone is reducing anyone to the consumable parts of they're culture and not seeing them as actual people who will never fit in the box they built for them. Thats when you need to reevaluate. But other than that. it's fine. Its important to share cultures with one another. I think sharing is a great thing and we should exchange our cultures

i found out that you can vote for la elección interna every day and that gives me the perfect oportunity to not having to choose between the 25 songs i had thought could be cool to have in benidorm fest and just vote 10 of them randomly every day :)
having said that, here's those 25 songs i've chosen with a bit of explanation of why and stuff (they originally were much longer but aparently tumblr has a word limit now so i can't do that 🙄), keep in mind these are not the only ones that i liked or the only ones that i want in benidorm fest, there were a ton of good entries and i had to pick between them somehow lol
anyways, enjoy :)
a moura - sheila patricia: galician + references to places + great aesthetic, what's not to love
itzulera - zetak ft. erramun martikorena: basque folklore!!! basque folklore!!!!
panya - zoo: i do love me a satirical song, and especially if it takes a jab at conservatives, neo-fascists, and guiris 🥰 and in catalan!!!!
que pasa? - ariadna: i know she'll bring a queer song to benifest and i can't wait to see her live honestly, she absolutely snatched with this song. THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR THIS SONG DEPICTS VIOLENT HOMOPHOBIA AND GAY BASHING, VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK.
3 fuegos - e'femme: i really vibe with the concept of a new girl group???? i think we need more girlboss groups like this one, idk they gave me good vibes and i enjoy the concept :)
cuestión de suerte - natalia lacunza: this is literally one of my most listened to songs this year, and natalia one of my favourite artists, like of course she was gonna be here lol.
drowning fire - hydn: i know i always say i don't want english songs at eurovision and that i hate spanglish... but this isn't spanglish it's GALINGLISH!!!! she sings in english and galician!!!!!!
agarrarte a la vida - rozalén: she's imo the best songwriter in spain right now, and she sings about social issues (this particular song is about depression and suicide for example) so like she was made for eurovision!!!
odoletan - huntza: basque rock!!!!! with folk elements as well!!!
me estoy pillando - sandra groove: it's the chonicore aesthetic for me. also the song slaps
si quieres - cariño: i've listened to this song SO MUCH, cariño is also one of the groups i listen to the most lately so yeah
l'orquestra del titànic - la fúmiga: catalan verbena pop man, such an underapreciated genre.
culpa - valeria castro: of course i was gonna put valeria castro here, she's my current celebrity crush, i'm absolutely obsessed with her and her voice and her sound and aaaaaah she's the best
luz bajita - fusa nocta: there's something about it, i can't put my finger on it, but i think fusa nocta could do something pretty cool at benifest
por españa - samantha hudson: if she goes to benidorm fest there's a high chance they win and if that happens it would be a cultural reset like he would be THE PERSON in eurovision 2023 i want it to happen SO BADLY.
el hijo del ayer - celtian: this!!!! is what we need!!! literally this!!!! celtic rock my utmost beloved <3
por si te vas - maría peláe: please let flamenco be on eurovision once again please, she could save us all 😭
alex turner - ginebras: ginebras was my world last year, i still love them very much and they aren't capable of releasing flops so i know for a fact that if they go to benifest the song is gonna be amazing
te espera el mar - maría josé llergo: she has one of the most beautiful voices i've ever heard, and i know she'd create super beautiful scenography to acompany her as well
la gran belleza - floridablanca: i'm a sucker for indie pop man, i am guilty of it. also the song is a bop and a half

Favorite K-Pop Releases of 2022 (So Far)
We're already at basically the second half of the year, so I wanted to talk about some K-Pop albums/EPs that I really enjoyed, and some that I enjoyed slightly less.
NOTE: I didn't limit this list entirely to artists I stan, and this is fairly short since it's hard to remember all the kpop releases for this year that I've listened to. I'm mainly posting this so that I can remember by the time the second half of the year is over lol. I'm also not a music critic, so I'm a bit limited in my descriptions here.
Love Dive (IVE)
Tumblr media
I absolutely loved this release. Something about the title track reminds me of something that would play in a teen drama, like a big party or club scene. The elevated aesthetic of the music video speaks for itself I think. They made this specifically for me ❤️
Flip That (Loona)
Tumblr media
I was worried we were gonna get Paint The Town pt. 2 after Queendom ended, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that Loona is returning to that more dreamy, atmospheric sound that got me into them in the first place.
Fl!p That is insanely catchy, but my favorite tracks were Need U and Playback. I love ballads I'm sorry 😭
Playback in particular did it for me because of the melody and the way it sorta...dips into a minor key before going back to major? Like it was rocking back and forth (I hope that makes sense god). The instrumental of course feels very vast and just washes over you. I hope they continue down this route.
Jack in the Box (J-Hope of BTS
Tumblr media
I was a little worried that I wouldn't like this mixtape because it felt so different from Hopeworld, and I honestly felt underwhelmed by 'More'. But this definitely tops Hopeworld for me.
The songs flow seamlessly into each other, and you can hear the 90s hip hop influences throughout. Turns out I actually like 'More', it just made way more sense within the larger context of the album. My favorite track is currently 'Stop'!
We Need Love (StayC)
Tumblr media
I watched the video where StayC and their producers discuss what this album would sound like, and you can tell that they were more focused on putting out good music than marketability this time around.
The title track 'Beautiful Monster' is considerably toned down compared to their more energetic ones in the past, but it still has that bright 'StayC' feeling, albeit with an undercurrent of sadness to it to match the lyrics. My favorite song off of this album was definitely 'Love'. It's in a lower key and has cool synths in the chorus, so I'm a bit biased lol. StayC's vocals also noticeably improve with every comeback, so I really enjoyed this one.
Honorable Mentions!
1. Minisode 2: Thursday's Child (TXT)
Tumblr media
I think the visual concepts for this mini-album were way more interesting than the music for me. Even though it is exciting that TXT are diving into much darker (and more realistic) themes, this one just didn't go all the way for me.
Though the songs were by no means bad, I personally found some of them to be too repetitive for my taste, including the title track. I did still enjoy GBGB because of the strong guitar, and Yeonjun's verse! Trust Fund Baby is also a really pretty track, and I look forward to more pop ballads in the future 💞
Proof (BTS)
Tumblr media
The only reason why I didn't put this album on the list is because it's an anthology album with only 3 new songs. But! I really really think the new songs (particularly 'Run BTS') showcase how their music has become a more evolved version of the sounds they've explored previously. I'm so glad the boys are able to take a break and im excited for when the next chapter arrives.
Copycat (Chobom of Apink)
Tumblr media
Again, I'm only putting this here because it's only 2 songs 😭 but Copycat is definitely a summer hit. I love me a twin concept!
