Something I really want to see is a kpop girl group with more traditionally masculine members. I want to see a REAL girl crush concept

wow thank you so much
#this is aoa's official youtube. it has 20 million views. :')#also this is the performance version of 'ai wo choudai' and like. God the choreo is . ooughw :(#it is So bland. this is one of The Songs Ever to me. and the choreo is giving Nothing.#it's not even... a decent sexy choreo. bcus this is so rooted in the era of kpop girlies either give cute - sexy or badass#yeah i Know it released in 2016 but aoa stayed true to their roots to the end lol. and 2016 was the tide changing anywya.#honestly the trichotemy was pretty bad but i tended to enjoy anything that fell under the 'sexy' label. the BEst bangers came outta that#(exid i lvoe you. sistar i love you. stellar i love you. fiestar i lvoe you. hellovenus i lo)#and. oh i feel terrible saying this. i would rather have the miserable trichotomy than most groups giving#~feminism~ through the lens of misogyny. it's like. Feminism but make it marketable and tell young women this is Fine#also softcore queerbaiting.#like every Knew the trichotemy was misogynist af. i didn't have to read posts saying that blackpink gave women rights#okay actually. wait. people were genuinely saying things like hyuna's red were feminsit anthems weren't they. okay nvm#i think the bar for 'progressive' is so low in kpop that it is in hell. to be honest.#like we have and have had more progressive thigns in music videos and lyrics in mainstream kpop#mostly from soloists or solo work from band members#moonbyul's shutdown is. clearly about having sex with a woman.#brown eyed girls' abracadabra is okay.... YES the angling is steeped in male gaze#but having a clearly wlw relationship in the mv Was iconic for the era. still is mroe brazen than most mvs dare to be.#also that sistar one where they kill a man together and run off being fruity.#one mroe day! that one!#so yknow. shoutout to the actual icons.#loftwinglullaby rambles#kpop

i wanna elaborate further on my take on sally
i just feel like they’re missing a key aspect of her character, which is how gentle she is and how much of herself she is willing to give up for her son’s wellbeing.
with gabe being kind of a pussy and her arguing with him so easily, i feel like it really undermines how much book sally struggled behind the scenes to make things work (even though percy cares about her and does so much for her, the demigod side of him is something he hasn’t discovered yet and the burden falls on her to handle things — a form of mother’s invisible labour).
book sally married this absolutely horrible guy and went through years of abuse and didn’t fight back directly because the pain was nothing to her if her son was safe. the blue candy was their quiet rebellion against him, and as badass as she was, she wouldn’t have put gabe in his place the way tv sally did, because that wasn’t her priority and it just wouldn’t be worth the effort.
it just feels a little like when they make disney princesses more badass and less feminine?? or like when kpop men do “manlier” versions of girl group/artist’s dances? like it’s undermining her value as a softer female figure, because book sally isn’t a big, strong, badass woman that percy looks up to because she protects him, she’s quietly mischievous and caring and he knows she can protect herself but also protects her as best he can and their dynamic is lost a little bit when she stands up so easily to gabe in a fight that isn’t really worth picking.
and it also irked me a little when she explained why they go to montauk every year, because in the books percy already knows more about his father. she tells him stories growing up because she wants him to see the best in the world and not grow up bitter like luke, because even though she may resent poseidon (since he knocked her up at like 19 after her parents died, and left her broke and with a kid without finishing college), she understands to some extent why he left her and can’t be with percy, and she cares too much about percy and how he feels and what kind of person he is to let him feel her anger towards his father. so she suffers through that quietly too, so that percy can feel like there’s still someone out there who cares about him, like his father is someone to be proud of even though he doesn’t know him.
sally is meant to look for the best in the people that matter, but still be able to see their objective value. it’s a symbolic aspect of her character that she’s a clearsighted mortal, which means she can see these things herself and understand them, but does not have any role in taking action against these things until she has to for her son.
anyways that’s my take. regardless i still am enjoying the show and their relationship very much, but i just don’t think it holds a candle to sally jackson in the books!!!

hello👋 can i please request zb1 reaction to their s/o being a producer? like they didnt know that their s/o had produced alot of hit kpop songs or like that😌 (esp imagine gunwook’s s/o produced hot by svt😫) ty in advanced!
omg anon you're so smart, yes, here you go!
this isn't proof read so I'm sorry if there any any mistakes!
word count: 1163
𝐣𝐢𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐠
as an actor, jiwoong knows all about being constantly busy, so when you suddenly went radio silent to work on a secret project, he couldn't help feel curious about what had gotten you so busy. it was only when he heard the sentence in an interview, "oh and you know y/n l/n? the person who produced the title soundtrack for your new series?" did it make sense as to why you would lock yourself in your office for days at a time, unable to contact him often.
to say that jiwoong was shocked would be an understatement, but the shock was quickly replaced by pure pride, he couldn't believe he had such a hardworking and talented s/o. he definitely helps you get onto producing zb1's title track.
𝐡𝐚𝐨
considering you had never been much of an instrument lover, it shocked has that you knew so much about music composition when he played a new piece on the violin that he had been working on for the last couple of weeks. so upon asking, he found that you had been producing songs every now and again for fun, liking the way that certain instruments and keys worked well together.
he was so impressed, falling even more in love with you, wondering how he had managed to bag such a badass babe.
𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐛𝐢𝐧
hanbin had a feeling you were a producer, talking about how layers of tracks on songs blend together and being able to pinpoint where a new section of recordings had taken place when listening to a song in the car with him, but he decided to let you tell him in your own time, he didn't want to pressure you into telling him. he knew what it was like wanting to keep something big about you secret incase of people who wanted to abuse the information.
but when you did tell him, boy, did he give you the biggest, most warmest hug filled with many compliments and temple kisses. you both listened to all of the songs you had produced after that.
𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐰
as an avid music listener, matthew had always wondered what it would be like to produce some songs, especially now that he would be debuting. it felt like such a cool accomplishment to be able to say you helped produce your own group's songs. so when he mentioned it in passing to you, and your face starting glowing when telling him how to get started and how to download certain softwares that would be most useful when being a beginner.
poor matthew had missed when you told him you were a producer when you first met each other, so he asked "how do you know so much about producing?" giggling you replied, "because its my job? matt, I told you this on our first date". *insert matthew surprised pikachu face*
"oh. I'm sorry I must have missed that. can we listen to the songs you've produced? wait no, let me guess them!"
𝐭𝐚𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐞
taerae had his suspicions when listening to a song, where the producer tag sounded a bit too much like your voice, so the next time you both saw each other, he decided to play detective and put on one of the songs he thought you had produced.
the way your face glowed with pride when hearing that taerae liked the song you had produced enough to play it in front of you told him everything he needed to know. eventually, once the song finished, he asked the question, and when you nodded your head, taerae couldn't help but feel amazed, "wow, you're so cool do you know that y/n?", "you're even cooler taerae".
𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐲
when you had mentioned that you were saving up for a specific type of headphone set for your birthday to ricky - which was definitely not cheap - he asked you why you wanted it so badly. telling him why, that you had picked up producing a few songs as a hobby and had wanted to get some more professional items to help boost your career, he bought them immediately, getting them customised to your favourite colour as well, so you could spend the money on a well deserved treat instead.
you had decided to pay back your boyfriend for the kind gift with a couple's trip to see this musical he had been wanting to see for a while, where you both stopped at a strawberry field on the way and ate the delicious berries watching the performance.
he was so proud of you and couldn't believe how hardworking you were, he definitely bragged about having such a cool s/o to his yuehua friends - poor ollie and had didn't hear the end of it for months.
𝐠𝐲𝐮𝐯𝐢𝐧
gyuvin always wondered why you stayed in the music rooms at school for much longer than you realistically needed to as a music major in the high school. so when he walked into the room one day with a chocolate milk and sweet bread as a snack for you, did he discover the tracks and arrangements of vocals on a large desktop.
after telling him that you had been offered to work on a few songs for some extra money, he gave you the biggest hug ever, telling you how talented you were, jokingly suggesting that you help produce a title track when he debuted.
𝐠𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐤
after saying that he would dance to "hot" by seventeen in the star level test, he was shocked when hearing "ahh, yes, did you know y/n l/n produced this song and 'ash' as well, on this album, they worked with woozi directly! at such a young age, they're so talented already."
gunwook went and googled the listed producers on the title track when he finally got access to the internet in the dorms, surprised that your name was there, it only boosted his ego that he had a musically talented and academically talented s/o, just like him.
he definitely interrogated you when he talked to you on the phone later that night, jokingly pouting when you had to rush to tell him that you were under a contract not to tell anyone when helping produce the song, but your worries were quickly brushed away when he told you how much he loved you, and how much he loved the song as well.
𝐲𝐮𝐣𝐢𝐧
you were one of the producers for 'say my name' on boys planet, so when he saw you in the room for recording the song, he was both equally shocked and amazed that you had been behind the catchy song he was performing to later that week.
he dragged you out into the corridor after recording the song's vocals, kissing your cheek lightly, holding your hand as he told you how gifted you were in music production.
imagine his surprise when you told him you were also producing the title track for when zb1 debuted after the final.

𝐈𝐤𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐬… 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐝𝐬!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
↬ May 10th is Maid Day!! The residents get the perfect idea of letting Sebastian rest for a day while they take care of the chores in his stead... while dressed up as maids. Of course, they need a little guidance about what needs to be done, so naturally, they address Sebastian as their Goshujin-sama and ask for orders!
Tumblr media
Napoleon as a maid: The Badass Maid
Initially is assigned to take care of the cooking, and is very skilled at doing so. This maid doubles as a bodyguard! When Master Sebastian is surprisingly attacked by a group of thugs, Napoleon steps in with his rapier in hand - fighting in a maid dress is child's play for him! The long frilled skirts swoosh in the air and the headband is still perfectly secured on his head by the time he's got his high-heel-boot-clad foot on a defeated thug's chest!
Mozart as a maid: The Harsh Maid
This maid will make a disgusted face at you if you're clumsy and spill your tea everywhere, making a mess. Mozart self-appoints himself for everything that involves cleaning, not trusting another maid with this task, as he's quite the pedant when it comes to hygiene. Will scold Sebastian if he abuses his day of leisure by eating in bed. If he's being too cruel, he'll offer to play the piano for his Goshujin-sama as an apology.
Leonardo as a maid: The Lazy Maid
This maid does nothing but sleep! He even gets in the way of the Harsh Maid with his large body blocking the corridor and making it hard to sweep the floor. He doesn't care about manspreading even when wearing a maid dress! But you can't be mad at him, with so many inexperienced maids running around, there has to be someone at the ready for fixing broken gadgets and appliances - he is allowed to nap off the time he's not needed.
Isaac as a maid: The Genius Maid
Managing the budget, listing pending renovations and maintenance work, doing Comte's letter correspondence outside of acquaintances, organizing the upcoming ball... who thought Sebastian did all of this too, on top of his other chores?! Isaac tries his best taking care of these things, which bonds him to a desk for the most of the day - and it's perfect for him, because it means he won't show up in front of the others in this absurd short maid dress!
Vincent as a maid: The Angelic Maid
Vincent's only chore could be radiating happiness, because a room with him in it is a room where smiles and flowers are blooming. This maid has to be kept off the kitchen, and the others ended up telling him to make up the beds instead. Since he got done early with that, Sebastian "ordered him" to paint whatever he wants while he's resting contently in the shade not far from where Vincent happily paints in the garden. His maid dress ends up all covered in colorful stains...
Theodorus as a maid: The Bossy Maid
Wearing a maid dress doesn't stop this maid to be scary when angered! Theo's crossed arms are even more noticeably muscular with the short, frilly sleeves. His job is overseeing the other maids and making sure they're not slacking off. He's a bit of a perfectionist, so much to Sebastian's dismay, he ends up rearranging a whole section of the kitchen or another corner of the mansion to what he believes is more convenient for doing quick and efficient work.
Let me know if you want part two! 🤍🖤

(some) KnB characters and their favorite kpop acts
After seeing a post by @imalwaysinconfusion, I could not stop thinking about the characters and the type of music they would listen to, as music is very cool and event more important to me as knb. But then my recent expertise lies mainly in kpop so this the post. All credits for the idea go to them, hope me doing this is okay :] Most of these are based on vibes and vibes alone
Akashi Seijūrō
(Honestly I’m having a hard time with him, so many signals and yet nothing I could understand, great start)
BIBI
Day6
Midorima Shintarō
Shinee + gg (taemin bias)
Him and Kise have a similar taste but it’d say Midorima is more chill (but don’t come across him on twt during yet another fanwar)
Kise Ryōta
Loona
Itzy
NewJeans
Jeon Somi (when I think of fast forward, I see Kise, why is that?)
XG
He’s either the most nicest person you can meet at the concert or he won’t be afraid to drop kick someone from being a bg stan, the line is very thin
Aomine Daiki
Ateez(!!!)
MonstaX
P1Harmony
Stray Kids (with this I’m really not sure, but he’d love megaverse and side effects for sure)
Murasakibara Atsuchi
Xdinary Heroes
Ateez (Mura would love FOB -> mingi loves FOB -> I love both ATZ and FOB with mingi being my bias-> dots are connected)
Either Woodz or Gaho or both but both of those might be too light for him
Dreamcatcher (feels like Himuro’s influence)
Kuroko Tetsuya
Day6 (wonpil bias, won’t elaborate)
DPR, DPR LIVE in particular
Hoody
Dean, heavy on him
Kagami Taiga
Stray Kids
iKON
bold shot, but somehow, I feel like he would like BlackPink a lot
epik high
Woodz
Kiyoshi Teppei
Seventeen
GOT7
Red Velvet, heavy on Red Velvet
T-ARA, KARA
TEEN TOP, B.A.P, Block B, VIXX, basically all the best from early-mid 3rd gen
he's the chill type and would get along with everyone, despite their music taste and would try to learn about one's favorite artists, if he doesn't know them. he also misses how back in the day idols would interact between groups
Hyūga Junpei
Kard
SuperM
Cheetah
Rolling Quartz <3
he just likes badass people, dunno
Izuki Shun, aka a man with perfect taste
DPR IAN
J-hope
BIBI
Jamie (!)
Koganei Shinji
Xikers, definitely xikers
Billlie
5th gen stan for sure
Takao Kazunari
NCT all units
Riize (maybe)
SM gg
Basically I see him as a huge SM stan
Sakurai Ryō
Lucy
Onewe
AKMU
Himuro Tatsuya
The Rose
Tablo
Woodz
Dreamcatcher
Aida Riko
Yezi
AleXa
G-(i)dle
Mamamoo
(i just think she's very cool and would love cool woman of kpop)
Momoi Statsuki
Nmixx
TXT
enhypen
Oriwara Shigehiro
NCT dream
Riize, big fan of riize, totally has mastered play a guitar move
was this post just me assigning my own favorite artists to these characters, thus making a situation where they had to be my bffs? mayhaps. but i had a lot of fun

Is there a kpop group that still do ballads? Maybe that's the reason why I haven't connected with the new generation like the badass beats with epic choreography are cool but they used to make ballads with emotion you know even if I didn't understand what they were saying i felt them and it was fun to see how vocals were a heated discourse among fans

Akalynn ship just works
League of Legends...despite being the kind of game most people don't want to play, they still succeed in animation and comics. Arcane, True Damage, the Jinx music video, other music videos and of course...KDA.
The soundtrack of the fandom is so fire 🔥.
My favorite of course was the four member kpop group. And the most popular fanon ship. Between the ninja Akali and demon succubus Evelynn. I just love the dynamic.
Rambunctious bad boy like biker girl x seductive sophisticated diva. Very fun and entertaining.
Akali may be brash, but she's got heart, is tough and tomboyish. She's an excellent rapper and is so badass in kda and the accurate lol universe.
Evelynn is calculating, sophisticated and confident. Just what you'd expect from a succubus that needs to eat souls.
The ship is funny, steamy, and cute and yet interesting in fanfiction and fanart.

hi lore ^__^ i just picked up the dear prudence collection after seeing you talk about it in a tag and it interesting me, and i’m really enjoying it so far. i was curious if you have any other book reccs, or favorite books you have read this year? it can be any and unrelated to this one. thanks and hope you’re well!
HI ABIBI I LOVE U !!!!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR ASKING I HAVE LOTS OF BOOK RECS
for readers at home abi is referring to dear prudence by daniel lavery in which lavery goes on a lengthy aside about how "love languages" are bullshit. daniel lavery is hysterical and correct as always
some other books i've read and enjoyed in the last year or so (excluding older books like discworld and jeeves+wooster stories, both of which i have been tearing through and really enjoying; also excluding the super popular (gideon the ninth) (you should read gideon the ninth)):
OBVIOUSLY, WHEN THE ANGELS LEFT THE OLD COUNTRY BY SACHA LAMB. READ WHEN THE ANGELS LEFT THE OLD COUNTRY BY SACHA LAMB. see further lore yelling about this book here [literary ya fantasy]
our wives under the sea by julia armfield for a deeply sad lesbian eldritch horror take on submarine disasters. this book will ruin your day (honorific) [literary horror]
the singing hills cycle by nghi vo for a series of novellas you can read in any order! all about storytelling and what storytelling is and does and does to the teller and the listener. also has a super cool jianghu badass side character [fantasy]
y/n by esther yi for an absurdist story about how kpop fandom makes you insane and worse and grad school also makes you insane and worse and GOD FORBID you combine the two [absurdist literature]
witch king by martha wells for book 1 of what has GOT to be I KNOW IT'S A DUOLOGY i KNOW it is the sequel has just not been officially announced yet. but i think she said something at a con about how there's one in the works. THERE MUST BE. anyway really fun and interesting worldbuilding here [fantasy]
beyond ridiculous by kenneth elliot for a look into the world of DIY gay theater in NYC at the height of the aids crisis. REALLY artistically inspiring and also super fascinating just as a history of a scene and a friend group [nonfiction/theater history]
ok this one's both backlist and was very popular when it came out but probably most 25 year old tumblr users have not read it. well they should read the hare with amber eyes by edmund de waal for a deep DEEP dive into the complicated world of rich jewish art collectors + socialites in odesa, vienna, and paris in the 1800s through the early 1900s by tracing the object history of a collection of netsuke from the opening of japan through the changing landscape of central + western europe and then back to japan [nonfiction/art history]
currently i'm reading cancipin by priest which is a space opera danmei that seeks to answer the questions "could it ever be ethical to do genetic engineering" "how do you build a just society" "is it ever worth it to give up your freedom in exchange for safety and convenience" "how do you keep going after the destruction of your entire planet" "what if data star trek were a beautiful young man and part time robot arm who was best friends with the worst gay people in the entire world" [sci fi/romance]

Every time I criticize a kpop girl group, I get called misogynistic or told that I only like boy groups. That is not true. I like a lot of kpop girl groups. I just hate ageyo. I don't like the girl groups that use a lot of ageyo and tend to make cutesy music. Apink, AOA and so many others.
I hate it when kpop companies do this thing of dressing up grown ass women, to be like children. It just comes off as predatory to me. Then they will have women releasing these cutesy songs as if these women are toddlers. It just rubs me the wrong way and I will never be into it. I truly think the reason why Blackpink and 2NE1 became so big is that YG Entertainment looked to the Western market, when it came to them. They were represented as being fierce and badass, instead of cutesy/submissive.

Kriss’s Top 10 WORST Kpop Debuts
I’ve learned a number of things in my 3 years as a kpop fan (5 if you count when I was a blink but pretended to hate it).
There’s too many idols named Chaeyoung
Kpop fans are immune to admitting things are bad unless it’s from an artist they dislike
But I get it to an extent. The level of devotion kpop basically forces you to give to your favorite artists is breeding ground for people who take said devotion a little far. Why do you think Sultry Films got doxxed? But regardless I’m gonna put myself in the aforementioned minefield and present to you my Top 10 WORST Kpop Debuts.
10. Baby Monster - Batter Up
youtube
Something I noticed about Batter Up when it came out was that it showed me how companies would rather play it safe strictly working by formula. The badass I love myself concept that YG does not wanna let go of. As for the song itself it feels like a rollercoaster that only goes up one short hill and very slowly at that. On the bright side at least we’ll get a boatload of memes related to that one girl saying “Remember me”, whom I ironically can’t remember the name of.
9. ITZY - Dalla Dalla (달라 달라)
youtube
Dalla Dalla has always felt unfinished ever since the first listen. It’s certainly a fun song to listen to, but like “playing Connect 4 by yourself” fun. The only true standout parts are the pre chorus and bridge, mainly due to Yuna’s voice. I like to think Dalla Dalla is the slightly worse predecessor to Wannabe. Maybe I’d give it more props if it weren’t for that grating “KEEP ON DREAMIN” part in the dance break. JYP only does his job when it comes to Japanese title tracks because he knows all the international fans are preparing for a recession.
8. miss A - Bad Girl, Good Girl
youtube
I’m all for miss A’s concept of female empowerment, but I’m not sure if 15 year old Suzy Bae doing pelvic thrusts and shaking ass was a great way to show that. Other than that some of the melodies are just abysmal beyond repair. Min’s “내가 더 뻔해” part still haunts my dreams. But I have them earlier on the list because I do still listen to it now and then and at least they make up for it by having other songs that are actually good. At least it’s easy to play on JYP Superstar
7. LE SSERAFIM - Fearless
youtube
The minimalism trend is the worst thing to hit kpop and I’ll die on that hill. Everyone acts like NewJeans kickstarted it but the catalyst was clearly this song and its equally bland album cover. Again, we have minors shaking ass in the music video; who was surprised? And Blue Flame is kinda better but HYBE hates women so we all knew that was never getting an official music video
6. UNIS - Superwoman
youtube
Though I was a bit upset that some picks didn’t get in I gave UNIS a chance. I expected a more hyper bubbly concept like Very x3 by IOI but it felt like a b-side that was reworked over and over again to be a title track. There’s so much more they could’ve done since the girls are very talented, especially Gehlee. Survival show groups now really get the short end of the stick. Just holding hopes and prayers that they don’t fumble the I-Land 2 girls
5. GOT7 - Girls Girls Girls
youtube
JYP stylist applications should have a section that reads “Check here if you smoke crack” because nobody but a crackhead could give JayB and Yugyeon such fuckass haircuts. The song is just so grating and sing-talky. The only thing that makes this MV a less painful watch is the fact that Nayeon and Jeongyeon are there
4. Jini - C’mon (ft. Aminé)
youtube
I was really excited to see what Jini would do after she left NMIXX like everyone else so I was largely confused when we got generic mall music instead. It’s nothing offensively shitty but what pisses me off more is the random Aminé feature that added nothing. Also to answer the everyone’s question, there is no “reason“ why Jini left. I believe she left for a reason but it isn’t known to the public because it’s simply not our business.
3. Amber Liu - Shake That Brass
youtube
Now who told this heifer she was a Shinee member?. The little orchestra bit is cute, it’s also full of cameos because Amber is not that relevant. Also I thank Taeyeon for her attempt or save this song even if contribution is short. And again SM made the mistake of giving Amber a rap song. This girl is talented but the world will never see that talent while she’s busy defending police brutality I suppose
2. Red Velvet - Ice Cream Cake
youtube
This was one of many of the disasters created during Min Heejin’s reign of terror at SM which is why I contemplated putting Cookie instead. My main issue with the song is the lyrics and the unnecessary rap at the end. Other than that the “I scream you scream” is mildly annoying but nothing to make a ruckus over.
And the number 1 worst debut, taking the first place spot….
1. Loosemble - Sensitive
youtube
Oh don’t look at me like that. Every orbit knows in their heart that they could’ve done better with our girls. The “ah ah ah ah” adlibs after the chorus are so robotic and unnecessary. The aesthetics of the music video are gorgeous but that’s like the last good thing about Sensitive. I really haven’t been feeling any of the redebuts but with how hostile orbits are this is likely the last time I’ll talk about them here

Bonjour Madame M,
3/4 of Blackpink have public romances, though Jisoo's is the only one confirmed by the company officially. However, there are lots of photos with Lisa and the Arnault (LVMH) son and Jennie with Taehyung. Also, Jennie dates as she likes, and it's never been a secret.
What do you think of this for a girl group? It's kind of badass.
It's badass because they are a proof that they can date and guess what? The earth is still spinning, their career is not in shambles, kpop is still k-popping or jopping and no one tries to off themselves when they hear the news, unlike some infamous shipper group.
I don't know details because I don't follow their lives or them as a group (I only listened to their music from time to time), but maybe in their case, the pressure was never that big to maintain the image of an eternal virgin? To me, it always seemed like the do what they want, they live their life as women and as celebrities as well, enjoying the fruits of their success. Or maybe my perception is wrong because I'm not involved in the fandom? The reactions to Jisoo were normal. In Lisa's case there's still an aura of intrigue because it's not official, but the girl was smart (those LVMH money? Good for her). And then there's Jennie with Tedros. Sorry, Tae. I hope it's all worth it because I don't think she got this much shit when she was with Kai.

So I am sitting here watching Rolling Quartz videos and I wanted to share them! They were my group I tagged in that "smallest artist you listen to" post but they've been gaining popularity recently and I want to help that keep going.
My favorite song of theirs:
