#but im really getting into everglow now

[im-yn-suckers]

cupids arrows; in or out?

pairing- not exactly enemies to lovers but along those lines. idol niki x idol fem reader park y/n (jays baby sister) (debuts in gg)

warnings- sad scenes, im really just going along with the i-land theme so yeah, dancing, i dont really know what else

synopsis- flashback as jay's younger sister in school, you and your friend decided to audition for hybe at the age of 14. when you pass and she doesn't, you get selected to join a survival show. when your unnies and the one member younger than you debut and you don't, you are announced as the 8th member of enhypen. how does getting cheated on benefit the fact that you and niki aren't very fond of each other?

prev <- m.list -> next

"good morning ladies! Please head down for breakfast in the lobby, todays schedule will be announced right after!" Yong-Hee's voice filled the rooms and you were all up.

at breakfast, you and se-un were chit chatting and talked about how you hope to call someone.

breakfast was over and they called everyone to the living room.

"Ladies! Good morning! her is the schedule for today. you have 30 mins to get ready and come back here. then you will split into two groups and each group will be assigned a song to practice. you will practice that song for the next two days. when that song is preformed in two days, two people will get eli minated. please head to your rooms and get ready for the day. thank you and see you in 30 mins"

"ok! lets get ready"-rora

you girls got ready and met back in the living room. yong-hee told you to get into two groups. since there are 13 of you, there were six in one group and seven in the other group. you seven were sitting on your side, and the other six, on their side.

"group one, Eun-sa, Soo-ah, Cho-gyung, Rora, y/n, and Se-un. you will be practicing 'Wannabe by Itzy'. "

"group two. Min-cha, Kuna, Lily, Soo-yeon, Eun-Kyung and Yeji. you will be practicing 'La Di Da by everglow'. "

"please head to the designated dance rooms and start dividing the parts and practicing."

[thetwilightroadtonightfall]

hey! ive always been a diehard kh fan since i was pretty young, and i still am, but i've kinda fallen off following the series as closely as i want to since before the end of khux. with this new bloodborne looking ass game coming out i really. REALLY want to get back into it, but idk how to keep up to date on whats going on, and more importantly, what order im supposed to be consuming khux, dark road, and this new thing. i was hoping youd be willing to show me who to follow to keep me updated on kh news and how i should be watching basically any post-kh3 content so i can catch up? i know this is a big request but you just seem super dialed into whats going on

Hello!! I totally get how puzzling this must be for someone who’s been away from the series for a while, so I’ll try my best to help

Melody of Memory comes after kh3 and can be watched/played pretty much whenever you want at this point. [ Cutscene movie ]

The chronological timeline of the prequel mobile games is as follows: khux -> missing link (“bloodborne!”) -> dark road

Now it’d be best to stick with this order, but as you can see from the release timeline of these games, it’s not mandatory to consume it that way. For example, you could go khux -> dark road -> missing link and you’d be in the same waiting boat as most of us, no problem.

To finish khux, you could watch via Everglow’s Cutscene Movie or KHInsider’s playlist

For Dark Road: Everglow’s Cutscene Movie

As a bonus, if you need some help understanding what the heck’s going on:

The Story of Kingdom Hearts Explained by damo279

The Secret Reports by Mel/KHNyctophiliac

Kingdom Hearts Timeline (the entire series in chronological order) by Everglow

To keep up with Missing Link news and any kh news in general, I’d recommend following @nyctoheart @luxenvulpies @blowingoffsteam2 @merryaqua / @masteraqua and pretty much anyone else you can see on tumblr who regularly posts kh stuff. We’ve got a nice web of mutuals on here; everyone sorta just follows each other in one big conga line so you’re bound to pick stuff up soon enough.

I personally get news first on twitter, since the kh news grapevine tends to travel a lot faster there. On there, I’d recommend following @ KHDR_PR @ churroz @ khinsider @ petalscythe

Things can get confusing sometimes! But at the end of the day, the point is to have fun. To anyone else reading this, pls feel free to add suggestions and helpful links for all our sake!

hi izzy!!!!! how was kcon?????? im sad i couldnt go in person this year but i can't wait to watch the replay some time!! for the ask game: 🎵 + 🎧 + 🌟 for skz please!! <3

omg hi siyuan!! I hope you’re doing alright! 💜🫂 kcon was A-MA-ZING!!! I had the best time this weekend all three concerts were great and I got to see so many ppl and I was happy bc I got to see some acts I wanted to but hadn’t seen yet (wayv, everglow, g-idle) :D

I lost my mind over taemin and cried hahaha but I was also happy to see the boyz again and see the new sub unit omg omg I can’t believe how sexy their song is 😭😭😭 (I also thought of you when I saw jacob and his cute fluffy bucket hat haha) AND itzyyyy I love them so so much I know I HAVE to see them whenever they come on tour again I also enjoyed some of the opening pre-show groups too (I’m so happy I got to see verivery again 🥹🥹🥹 it’s been so long <3333) seeing ateez and skz again tho was also my highlight!! I finally got to see pirate king which made me so happy bc I’ve been an atiny with my mom since debut so it meant a lot! AND I MANIFESTED SUPER BOWL FOR SKZ!! it was all I asked for (my mom and some friends are my witnesses lololol) this kcon I just wanted to see super bowl live and I got it hehehehe 🙈🙈 but I’m so glad I got to see the new title tracks for skz and ateez (s-class and bouncy)

overall I had a lot of fun even tho my mom and I got hit with rain since day 3 concert was in the middle of a storm lololol (eric and chris both told us thank you for coming in the storm and to be safe 🥹) I really had fun this kcon I was sad it was over but I met some nice ppl and had good seats all 3 days down on the first floor it was so cool to be so close on all days 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’ll def post some pictures soon once I’ve gone through my videos

I’ll do the game underneath the cut bc I rambled a bit 😂😂 hope you’ve been well siyuan sending you love and hugs

🎵 recommend a song based on your vibe/blog

I think I’ll recommend make me happy by wheein, 19 by skz, and connected by bang chan (I feel like those match my really chills vibes for my blog and also my love for chris LOL)

(also bonus bc I know this isn’t kpop but I think this song goes with the vibe of my blog too but it isn’t kpop so it just gets an honorable mention lol)

🎧 put one of my kpop playlists on shuffle and share the first song that plays

so I don’t have like a big multi kpop playlist anymore (it got too big for my liking 😂) I just assign them to groups (I am trying to make a gg playlist soon tho bc I think it’ll all be better in one playlist) so since you picked skz for the other one I just went to my skz playlist and shuffled it. it gave me circus - kr version hahaha 😂👏🏼 I love circus tbh the mischievous/video game vibes are immaculate for me (the sound in the beginning reminds me a lot of splatoon lol)

🌟 send w/ a group, and I’ll talk about my favorite era, concept, and/or album

thank you for sending skz siyuan!! <3333 so I think my favorite era was god’s menu and maybe maniac era now too. reasons being 2020 skz is one of my favorite years for them, and also they helped me a lot to get through the start of the pandemic. maniac era is my other favorite bc it was the start of my love with the maniac tour (I ended up going to the maniac tour 7 times through 2022-23 and each time it was magical and I’m so happy and blessed I got to see them so many times 🥰)

favorite concept for them I believe is a mix between the apocalyptic stuff they’ve done like side effects and scars (and now social path) and I also love the chill and/or cozy vibes they’ve had in things like fnf, the view, blueprint and tmt and things like that. I like when they do mvs like that a lot

favorite album is hard—and you may know that already—for me but I think again GO LIVE is still my favorite album of theirs and also I’ll mention I Am Who?, ODDINARY, and 5 STAR now

[saitseeing]

hey!! im not sure if you're still taking questions for the ask game, but how about 1, 9, 10, 20, and 32?

Hi!! Yeah I totally am. (Honestly you could send me asks from a game I posted like a month ago and I'd still answer haha) 1) create a 7 member girl or boy group with existing idols -- Okay so I decided to do both because I had too many ideas in my head. -- For girl group: Sunmi, Chungha, Swan from Purple Kiss, Bibi, Dia from Pixy, Mia from Everglow, and Sori from Cocosori. They would be such a powerhouse of interesting vocals and good dancers, plus Bibi has such a unique image and take that I think would make for such a killer influence on Sunmi, Swan, and Dia's already slightly darker concepts. -- For boy group: Hongjoong from Ateez, Yeonjun from TXT, Donghun from ACE, Hanse from Victon, Cho Seungyoun, Lee Changyoon from ONF, and Woosung from The Rose. Sure, they've got a great balance of vocals, rap, and dance, but more importantly, they are all fashion hoes. Just imagine the styling that would come out of this mix it would be absolutely terrible or absolutely incredible and the two are not mutually exclusive.

9) a group that deserved better </3 -- Ugh there are so many to choose from. B1A4, Pristin, Pentagon, E'last, Rainz, Lightsum, Bugaboo, I could go on, but I think right now, for very obvious reasons, Omega X. No one deserves to go through the abuse they endured, and even now they're going to be fighting a legal battle for who knows how long. They've all been through so much and I'm just really wishing the best for them.

10) song to most likely make you crash your car while driving or get pulled over for speeding -- Good lord Beep Beep from BTOB. I literally had to remove it from one of my playlists because every time it came on while driving the car horns made me Panic.

20) favorite group with a color in the title -- Golden Child! I love their music and I feel like they're so underrated.

32) if you could magically bring back a disbanded group but had to disband another, who would you bring back and who would you disband? -- Oof this is so hard. I think if I could bring a group back, I'd pick Rainz. They really never got any attention at all but their discography was legitimately so good. I really enjoy all the stuff coming from the boys now in their respective groups (specifically WEI, TAN, and Eunki's solo stuff) but I loved their sound when they were together and I'd love to get it back for just a little while. For a group I'd disband, honestly I'd say Blackpink. Their music has felt so flat and repetitive since DduDduDdu, and I Pink Venom in particular felt like such a waste of their performance skills, Jennie especially. Plus, Rose's solo song Hard To Love is so much stronger than the rest of that album, I just really feel like it's time for them to hone their individual colors instead of being churned through Teddy's leftovers.

Send me some numbers!

June Comebacks/Debuts that I Caught!*

*in no particular order, non-exhaustive, and all songs were released between June 1st and June 30th. 🎶 means it was playlisted!

🎶 Give Me That by WayV: my bad wayV i was unfamiliar with your game. and your game is fire. I wwnt back and consumed their discography so quickly..... now xiaojun 😁

🎶BADVILLIAN by BADVILLIAN: i think this was a bit underwhelming for their debut however i do like the dance focus they have as a group. but after getting +82 and Hurricane as pre-debut releases... yeah. but i'm excited to see where they go next! <- idk what the fuck i was on ive been bumping this like no ones business 💀

hey! hey! by TWS: this is so coming of age music fuck hybe but they know how to create a nostalgic ass song

Shooting Star by Kep1er: this is such a good fucking song and it made me emotional tbh, when the instrumental cuts out and there is just those tight ass harmonies ohhhh they ATE

🎶 Hero by AKMU: bossa nova ass song you fucking get me. i love this tune so fucking much ahhhh

🎶CoinciDestiny by Weki Meki: FUCKKKK FANTIAGO YOU USELESS SHITS! weme girls, you have never given less than your best and thats why i love you all dearly. coincidestiny is so bittersweet it gave me tummy aches for DAYS. i sobbed. I DID! like fuckkkk. Anyways, onto the song, this was a very beautiful song and the sentimental value does tip it over into one of my favorites this year.

ZOMBIE by EVERGLOW: I really did not think thta I would love the chorus as much as I do, i do reaoyy love the horror/creepy concept in this song

🎶 ABCD by NAYEON: when this first came out i thought y'all were joking about nayeonce.... the second half of the chorus is definitely the song strongest part (as it shoudl its a fucking banger)

RIGHT NOW by NewJeans: i do love a little bossa nova inspired joint, and it keeps the easy listening theme even through the drum n bass njs is known for

🎶POM POM by woo!ah!: allergic to making bad songs.... POM POM IM CHEERING ME ON IF NO ONES ROOTING FOR MW THERE IS AT LEAST ONE

Badder Love by EVNNE: this. feels like a song i've heard befreo, but i do really love the chorus. it feels like its supposed to be an eighties synthy song but they're holding the synths back from me. GIVE ME THE SYNTHS !

🎶 Boom Boom Bass by RIIZE: disco i could CRY! bass driven songs are so pleasing and this one did not dissapoint. an aside: i do feel like bbb is a natural sequel to impossibel considering house music couldnt have happened without the funk/disco scene so it feels lihe they're going back in time and its a rly nice touch.

Let it Burn by H1-KEY: pop rock is alive and WELL!!!! this song is just really enjoyable idk what else to say about it

🎶Cosmic by Red Velvet: someone needs to blow up the sm building. preferably one of the rv girls bc right now they deserve it the most. BUT THE SCALE UR JOKINGGGG (idk what scale it is) red velvet is allergic to bad songs jesus christ....

🎶 Rockstar by LISA: call it repetitive call it boring whatever. THIS BANGS! The production and sampling make it such a fun song and easy to dance to it was love at first listen

Pretty Mob by CSR: this is a cute song

🎶Tounge-Tied by KEY: The promo for this song was 10/10 i was obsessed. The song itself its actually a good example of an anti drop that fucking WORKS its a lost art fr.

🎶Sticky by Kiss Of Life: This is such a good summer song and the MV was so beautifully edited like FAWK. "how long til we fall in love?" NOW ⁉️

the fact that i dont see people talking about how good First and Pirate are very often makes me wanna do it more, cause i feel like i’ve got something to prove lmao. i dont even see Forevers talk about the things that i think make the songs a cut above the rest haha. i feel like theyre so smartly written and produced... i feel like theyre really finely tuned, with very little extra fluff, theyre like well-oiled and hyper-efficient machines lol. and really detailed too, both in the instrumentals and the songwriting itself. 

genuinely, i think people dont give Everglow enough credit here, i think people sort of write them off as a talented group releasing bangers, but like, just bangers. i think calling them just “bangers” is reductive haha, cause i think there is a lot of interesting stuff in these songs that can go toe to toe with any widely-beloved and universally-recognized well-written kpop song. like yeah, they’re bangers, they’re dumb fun, but they’re really smartly written dumb fun. i feel like Everglow arent included in the conversation about groups who are carving out a niche and doing really creative things in their music... i feel like Everglow arent included in the conversation about groups who are prime examples of the kind of boundary pushing stuff you can find in kpop. and i think they should be.

maybe it’s because they’re hype songs? and people dont take those as seriously as more emotional songs? i’m not sure. i feel like Dreamcatcher Scream didnt quite get the credit it deserved last year for how powerful and forceful it was. idk, maybe not everyone values those things in music as much as i do?

discord kpop fc 1x1's

hi, i'm andie! i'm currently looking for some long-term discord rp partners, 21+ only please. i'm in the est timezone and i'm free all week after five usually! i primarily write mxf and i happily do doubles, though i'm also down for some fxf! i write in third person, present tense. also-- i only write oc's. i do not play real people. (sorry bandom fans.)

in terms of plots i'm interested in, i generally lean toward rl angst (totally down for smut, too!) but i'm happy to do cute fluff every now and then as well. gimme toxic co-dependent relationships, gimme roommates with sexual tension, gimme long-term one sided pining- and that's just off the top of my head, i love adding depth and discussing plots/headcanons/random ideas with my partners so if you do too, we'd probably be a great match!

i primarily use k-pop face claims (only 18+) for oc's/muses as well as korean actors/actresses, thai actors/actresses, etc. and i'd like it if we had similar taste as well! i'm also not opposed to making twins for faces we both happen to love, i think it'd be really fun! as a side note- i'll literally play any face you're feeling. i'm not picky about my muses at all.

here's a list of some groups/faces i'm feeling rn:

(this is by no means a comprehensive list and if the group is listed i'm prob willing to play anyone in it, these are just my faves, bold indicates favorites to play as, italics indicate favorites to play against)

BG's: astro (eunwoo, rocky, moonbin), ateez (san, mingi, yunho, wooyoung, seonghwa, yeosang, hongjoong), the boyz (juyeon), exo (kai, baekhyun), got7 (jackson, mark, bambam, jayb), monsta x (changkyun, hyungwon, wonho, kihyun), nct 127 (jaehyun!!!, johnny, yuta, mark, taeyong), seventeen (mingyu, the8, joshua) skz (bang chan, hyunjin, lee know), wayv (ten, xiaojun, winwin, hendery)

At Your Corner

Idol: Kim Minji (Dreamcatcher)

Anon: my heart just broke bc i saw a pic of minji smiling but trying to hide her pain when their deja vu win got snatched by the sh*w so may i request a scenario with jiu being sad abt that but since shes in public, she needs to smile for the fans. 8th member reader who doesnt rlly show her emotions notices and just lets her kid side out like suddenly jumping in front of jiu and going "hey im a race car get on!" to make her laugh then fans coo and stuff? sry if this is a mess u can change anything tnx

A/n: this came very recently and i don’t usually work on newer requests but this fit my mood way too much that i couldn’t help BUT write it

☕buy me a coffee☕

Standing at the corner of the room, you survey the scene and watch as your members all look exhausted after everything you’ve been through.

It’s quieter than usual, and while you usually preferred it, you hated this silence.

Once again, you were close to finally obtaining a win for your group, and yet you were just a few points too short when The Show finally released the results. You could feel as your members’ shoulders visibly fell when you were all finally off the stage and from the public eye. You had all worked so hard and believed that this comeback would finally be the one to get you a win.

The first weeks of promotions had made you start to lose hope when you had yet to obtain what your group desired, but your leader remained optimistic through it all, telling you that it wasn’t over and that you still had more chances. Yet in the end, her optimism was snuffed out as she sat by the corner, head in her hands as she struggled to pull herself together for when you all had to leave the venue and face your fans.

To make matters worse, Handong was leaving for China in a few days.

With a shaky breath, you turned away and shrugged off your stage outfit, replacing it with the shirt you previously wore, tossing on your hoodie and cap when you were done before heading out of the room, one of your managers quickly following after you as Bora’s frown deepened when she caught a glimpse of your expression.

“Come on, girls. We have to get going soon.” Minji called after she cleaned her face and dusted herself off. She watched as Yoohyeon hurried and quickly left, silently asking your remaining managers where you had gone off to before she went to find you.

With a heavy heart, the girls exited the waiting room and headed for the building exit where you and Yoohyeon were already waiting, the younger girl holding your hand while she kept her head on your shoulder, nuzzling against you for comfort whilst you held her closer to yourself with your own head down.

Minji felt a tug in her heart to see you, but when she tried to reach you, Siyeon tugged at her arm and then shook her head, knowing that there would be no getting to you at this point.

While you rarely expressed yourself, it was easy to tell when you wanted to shut everything and everyone out. You would let the girls come near you, but you wouldn’t say a single thing or react to anything they’ll say except for a nod or a shake of the head in case they ask you something.

“Unnie told me she was with Everglow before Yoohyeon unnie found her.” Gahyeon muttered softly from beside the vocalist. “She said she was trying to make them feel better because of the votes.”

It was a little after you all exited the stage when people began making comments online about miscalculations. As much as it was a possibility, you and your members decided not to look into it just so it wouldn’t further worsen your mood. You were already upset with having lost, it made you feel even worse to know that your dongsaengs were most likely receiving backlash with everything that was happening.

“It’s going to be okay.” Bora murmured, squeezing her friend’s hand as they approached you and the quiet girl. Handong offered you a small smile, but you merely nodded at her before looking to the door, hearing the shouts of fans that were waiting for you.

You lower your cap over your eyes just to avoid making further eye contact with anyone before finally leaving the venue, eyes squinting at the flashing of the cameras. Yoohyeon had let go of you to join Bora and Yubin’s side. Siyeon and Gahyeon stood closely side by side and Minji was clinging to Handong in order to comfort both of them.

And it just hurt so much more to see them forcing smiles on their faces when you knew just how terrible they all felt. You also knew that your own fans felt just as bad, seeing the tears on some of them when the winners were announced.

Right now, you felt stuck because it was usually Gahyeon and Minji who kept bright smiles on their faces. Your members were always eager to interact with fans, just like you, but this whole predicament merely took its toll on all of you.

But you refused to let this night end with them in tears.

Smiling, you waved to your fans and tried to give off the energy your members were lacking despite how it would usually be the other way around. Looking to your managers for permission, they were a little less strict this time around when they knew you just needed some space and allowed you to approach some fans.

Your members were somewhat surprised as you stepped away from them to greet everyone, thanking each of them for coming and supporting you all. Minji could feel her eyes watering at the sight of you trying your absolute best in covering for all of them, even trying to distract fans from noticing their weary state.

“Please be safe when you get home! The others are a little tired so please understand.” You tell them with a meaningful look and you were just grateful to know you had such understanding and thoughtful fans.

Even with the blinding flashes of the camera, you did your best speaking with them until your eyes landed on a few teary eyed Somnias. You felt your throat close up, but you do your best to swallow your emotions before approaching them. “Hey, why are you crying?” You asked and they turn to you with sadness swimming in their glossy eyes.

“We wanted to finally give you all a win, but we couldn’t do it.” One of them answers, your expression softening before you shook your head and opened your arms for them. Giving them both a warm hug, you patted their backs before giving them a small squeeze. “You guys did more than enough. You got us nominated, and that’s a really big thing, so thank you.” You assure them with your best smile,

“We’ll keep working harder, so please don’t be sad.”

Seeing your interaction with the fans pushed tears to Siyeon’s eyes and she had to avert her gaze while Bora wiped at the corner of her own eyes at your selflessness.

It didn’t take long before you came bounding over to your members and you sported a grin as you patted all of them, be it on the arm of back. “Come on, come on! I’m hungry, aren’t you?” You question playfully, earning a giggle from Yubin while Handong reached to pinch your cheeks.

When you turn to your leader, you smile before turning around so your back is facing her then gesture for her to hope onto your back. “Unnie, everyone is slow! Come on, you can get the food faster if you come with me.”

Minji couldn’t help but laugh at your display, her heart warming at your rare carefree personality and knowing that you were doing this for them.

So, without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around your shoulder as you crouched down before allowing you to lift her on her back, laughter bubbling from her lips as you carried her away from the rest of your members while they watched on with smiles on their faces, happy to see your leader a little better compared to earlier.

“Yah! Unnie, be careful!” Gahyeon called out when Minji squealed after you nearly tripped, but you were able to tighten your hold on her legs, securing her on your back before you decided to merely walk instead of run to the van, the older woman’s face tucked comfortably against your neck that you could feel her smiling against your skin.

You didn’t have to go out of your way to check up on her and make her feel better, but she appreciated how you still did so without anyone having to ask you to do it. As quiet as you were, she loved the way you were ready to come to their aid.

“Thank you.” You hear her whisper and you hum while shrugging your shoulders lightly. “It’s nothing, unnie.” Though despite your words, she knows that you were relieved to have her, and the others, smiling as well.

Later that night, there are articles about you and your actions for that day. Pictures of you with fans and Minji, especially, circulate everywhere, but the girls decide that staying off social media would be healthy for them as they happily ate the food that you had asked your managers to bring to the dorm.

“Do you think we should wake her up?” Yubin asked when she glanced to your shared room, but Handong shook her head and smiled after drinking some water. “Jiu unnie did say she’ll take care of Y/n, so we can wait until they’re back.”

“I don’t think I’ve seen Y/n unnie have that much energy.” Yoohyeon commented after chewing her food, Gahyeon nodding in agreement with a tiny smile on her face. “Unnie is honestly so cute. I wanted to cry when she was hugging and comforting Somnias.” The maknae pouted while Bora giggled. “That kid is really unpredicatable sometimes.”

Siyeon scoffed at her claim, chopsticks pointed in the dancer’s direction. “Speak for yourself.” That earned a smack on the arm as Handong burst into laughter, everyone else following after as they exchanged more stories, forgetting about the award show and their previous concnerns.

Meanwhile, Minji looked down at you with a fond smile as you laid on her chest, arms wrapped around her waist as she kept her own around your slightly smaller frame.

As much as she cried earlier, you were able to make her feel better. Even as you slept soundly against her, she would thank you endlessly for being in her life and picking her up whenever she was down.

Somewhere along the way, she realized that some trophy meant nothing compared to the love and support she’s received from the people who surrounded her. While it was nice to have that recognition for the group, she would pick a group that was stable and gave as much as they received any day.

As long as you were among those people, her heart was safe and sound.

wanted to get a snack while they were waiting to perform and saw her in front of the vending machine

she wanted to become friends with her bc they’re the same age and she thought her rapping was cool

they dont really hang out in public together and text each other more intstead of meeting up

fans didnt know they were friends until they saw each other hugging on music bank

sometimes after that the two started playing each others’ songs and mentioning little anecdotes on vlive

had a special stage together during an award show and fans went wild bc of the talent and visual

Hongjoong (ATEEZ)

he was shy and got flustered when they first met bc he thought she was really pretty

met when melody was buying stuff at a convenient store for the dorm and hongjoong needed ingredients for dinner

there was awkward silence bc of how unexpected it was and didnt know how to react

they just bowed to each other and said goodbye and didnt exchange numbers until the same thing happened and met again a month later

they dont really hang out in public either and just text most of the time

ended up introduced her to Seonghwa and now they’re just a trio of 98liners

Mingi jokingly asked if he could introduce each other so he could ask her on a date which earned him a scolding from hongjoong

she hasn’t told him directly, but Melody actually has high regards for him bc of how well he produces

Hii 🐸 everyone is talking/ complaining about noise music being the big trend in kpop rn and I thiiiiink i know what they mean? But I'm not sure I have the right idea of what the style is..? What are some kpop songs that you think are a good example of noise music? I don't mean that the song necessarily is good, just that it shows well what noise music IS... oh and what are your thoughts on the trend and why it became THE thing.. do you like noise music? (Sorry for the unnecessary length of this! Anyway I hope you're doing well 💜)

i miss when nct was indie. 

in general, i'd define noise music (according to kpop stans) as anything with a heavy bassline, loud EDM, and harsh grating "unusual" sounds. a lot of noise music is actually based in 90s and 00s hip-hop production, with a mix of hyperpop from the 2010s. you'll notice that a lot of nct's producers and early kpop producers are actually hip-hop producers too. fans want anything that follow a nice abab cdcd rhythm with a predictable chorus, it never feels unpleasant to the ear (good recent examples are bts' dynamite, joy's hello, cherry bullet's lovesosweet, twice's alcohol-free). it's nice to listen to sometimes, but this gets super boring quickly (this music is very 2017 radio friendly) which is why noise music has gotten a lot more popular over the years primarily due to the rise in nct's popularity

some key examples of "noise" music are 127's songs fire truck, kick it, kitchen beat, chain, cherry bomb, punch, wakey wakey, simon says, etc and nct u's boss. you'll notice that the songs never have a traditional chorus, have a heavy bassline, and very grating electronic sounds that actually work well with the production (if you really listen to the song). other examples of noise music would be zimzalabim (hated by everyone on first listen), attaboy (a controversial reve bside that was obviously an f(x) song), 70% of itzy's discography, skz's titles, shinee's dcm, everglows titles (minus la di da). actually a lot of 2nd gen tracks would be considered noise in todays context too (ring ding dong, electric shock, the boys, lucifer, come back home....the list just goes on).

personally, i do like noise music.. after all im an f(x) and nct fan... i only think nct has been able to do noise music well in the later gen, its always been their Brand. sm's production for nct is super well done, while the later groups are just bad rip-offs of nct's sound. the new producers are very repetitive with the melodies and sounds they use, hence everything sounding the same and the trend becoming the new kpop 2010s tropical house obsession. to this day, nct's "noise" production is very original and unusual, i remember in the early days their music stuck out like a sore thumb...everybody overall hated fire truck and cherry bomb (their true indie era...and why the term noise music has always been associated with their sound in the first place). now noise music is what everyone uses to call a song too loud and grating (plus the insult is the lyrics lack meaning...but the question is why does everything have to have meaning?). as a final thought, i always think its strange how much ppl dislike noise music bcuz it becomes very obvious they havent listened to anything outside of white pop radio for the past ten years

I have awoken from my slumber once more !! Honestly good with reader getting with yoongi at the end. I think I've seen one of his sim videos or maybe 2. Yea I dont think ill personally play it either but if I do im sure I'd have fun with it. Yes yes, there's so many kinds of villains out there that it's hard to not take a liking to atleast one, especially with the backstories some may have. Yea I'd wish for a happy ending for a villain but I dont think it would happen a majority of the time sadly. You're welcome, and those sound like fun! Im sure it would be great to work or even own a bookstore!! I think you have what it takes to be an author based on what I've seen you write, even if they are fanfics they still showcase your writing!! You could always do it on the side but dont force yourself I know it's a hard industry to get into as well. AND THAT SOUNDS REALLY FUN!! I wish my class did something like that, it would of been a great experience. Yes it is, they did an amazing job with it as well as the other OSTS. I dont know if its considered an OST but I remember being so disapointed when warriors by imagine dragons didnt play that one episode or two like it did for the other episodes, i was expecting it to be played once every episode tbh. I'd love to see what you think of it!! OH AND I HAD THIS SORT OF THEORY FOR SWEET HOME LIKE TWO NIGHTS AGO. it looks to be in the style of the show from total drama island but i dont know who it is if its an actual character from the show, it might not even be a actual character i dont know either 😭😭😭😭 oooh i see!! I dont listen to girlgroups much, the only ones im really into are dreamcatcher, 3YE and EVERGLOW. But my ult groups are: Monsta X, ATEEZ, Stray Kids, ONEUS, VICTON, PENTAGON(LOVE THEM BTW gladly reccomend they're work as well as checking out their videos, they're quite chaotic), ONEWE, SEVENTEEN and ONF! but some others i like are KINGDOM(rlly reccomend their work), A.C.E, TNX, GOT7, VAV, VERIVERY, THE BOYZ and many others whom I may not be able to remember. But for soloists I like Wonho(tho i'm ot7 for monsta x, i aknowledge he's his own artist now), Dawn and Hyuna

Awh hope you slept okay!!! And yas! Reader deserved a lot better than Jin ✋😂

For real! I do play some games though, I mainly got into Stardew Valley because of some youtubers and my friends telling me how much they thought that I would enjoy it

T-T The poor villains haha but with this book series I think its pushing for one so im sshdghakfabfaf about it haha

Thanks so much lovie! That's so kind of you! I just think anything where I'm surrounded by books I would be over the moon with!

That would have been awesome if it had played again in every episode T-T By far that was one of my favourite songs on the whole album for the show haha Ooooo what theory?!!?

It might be 😭😭😭 or it could be some edit I'm totally not sure haha

Oooo i like everglow, I've heard a couple of songs! I'm trying to get into more girl groups aha and oooo they're all good, I have a couple of songs/one song liked from each of the groups you sent! Dawn and Hyuna 🤩🤩🤩

Hello again Caly 👋🏻 It's been a while, I'm sorry. I’m the anon that messaged you about asking for advice/your opinion on something related to writing a while ago. 🥺 So basically my question would be: what's your stance on writing fan fiction for real people? Do you think it’s fine or kind of weird and why do you think so?

I’ve also written out my background/thoughts for context. You can totally skip that, I just thought it might make sense to explain where I’m coming from. I’m sorry in advance for the wall of text that will follow. I’m very bad at keeping it short. 😭

So, I used to be a writer. I started out with kpop fan fiction when I was around 14 (I’m 24 now), but I stopped writing for kpop groups when I was around 17. From then on I wrote fan fiction for fictional characters, mostly anime characters, but I stopped sometime last year. I still have a lot of unfinished ideas I want to write, a lot of them include fictional characters, but others include real people, like the Ateez members or another group’s members, and that's the problem. Let me explain a little further: After a very painful breakup in the second half of last year I got back into kpop. More than ever. While I was casually listening to a few groups before, I suddenly started getting into like 10 groups within a really short amount of time (got7, mx, dreamcatcher, everglow, skz, svt, oneus etc. just to name a few). It’s been great so far, because the music and the groups are kind of a safe haven to me (if that makes sense). I mean, Kpop really helps me cope and kind of escape or make reality a little easier, I'm sure there are more people out there who feel the way I do. I wouldn’t say I’m overly obsessed or anything, but Kpop just is my biggest source of comfort right now, so sometimes I wonder "isn’t this a bit much?“. It’s a difficult topic. But anyways, of course one of the groups I got into was Ateez, otherwise I probably wouldn't be here writing this right now. So I listened to fireworks when it came out and I was impressed and instantly fell in love with them. A little while after that, when I still couldn’t match all of their names with their faces, I started browsing the ao3 tag out of curiosity and I stumbled across moc. I absolutey fell in love with the story and every aspect of it. It also inspired me to write myself again! I've had so many old and new ideas flood my mind, but I really haven't gotten around to write anything yet, because the fact that I'd be writing fan fiction for real people as an adult woman makes me feel kind of uneasy? But I don’t want it to make me feel uneasy! You know? I think it should be fine as long as you’re capable of differentiating reality from fiction. And as an adult with common sense you usually can do that, right? But I’ve seen many people, mostly on tumblr and twitter, say that it’s just weird and wrong and that it automatically makes you a delusional and obsessive fan. So now I’m torn between wanting to realize all the ideas I have (Big thanks to you, because you, your blog and moc are a huge inspiration for me 💕 also moc is without a doubt the best fan fiction I’ve ever read. It’s just an absolutely impressive and thrilling story) and feeling like I’m not supposed or allowed to do that? I hope that makes sense. I know there’s a million other things I wanted to tell you, but I think that’s enough for now. If this is a discussion that interests you, I might comeback with my two cents. 😳 Anyways, I hope I was able to convey my inner conflict and my feelings and everything. 🥺 English isn’t my first language so it was a bit difficult to phrase everything in a way that felt right. Thank you so so much for taking the time to read and answer this. I appreciate it A LOT. I hope you have a great week ahead of you! 🥰🥰🥰

hello hun i'm sorry it took me so long to respond to your ask!! i wanted to make sure to set aside some time so i could be as thorough as possible in my response and give you my thoughts as clearly as possible!

so this debate has been something i've dealt with and struggled with a lot over the years of consuming fanfiction and creating it. i started out writing fanfiction of media like anime before getting into kpop, and it took me around 3 years to even start reading kpop fanfiction. every once in a while, the debate of whether or not real person fanfiction is okay or not comes up, and that does always discourage me. i wish i could be like 'yeah im solidly set in this opinion!' but i do still get discouraged myself, and that's something i think a lot of people struggle with! i resonate a lot with how you feel and what your opinions are and how much music and kpop means to you. i also get those worries of 'isn't this a bit much?' and such and it's a difficult thing to talk about and think about, but as you said, i think there is a line when it comes to fanfiction and life and reality

i have no issue with real person fanfiction. i tend to not read or write 'idol' aus because it feels a little too real for my comfort zone, but i will say that the people who dislike it are loud. they're hard to ignore and avoid. you aren't delusional or obsessive for enjoying fanfiction. it's called fan FICTION, meaning it's not real and it should not be meant to be real. it should be fine as long as you're able to draw the line and say 'this is not real and it will never be'. i think it's okay in some instances to be like 'man i wish i could live in this universe' while still realizing it's not real and you're not trying to force it down anyone's throats. that's the biggest thing in my mind. as long as you are not trying to shove it in these idols' faces or psychoanalyze them and their relationships, it's okay.

if someone doesn't like fanfiction, it's easy to just take a step back and say 'okay i won't talk about it/share it with you'. you can really cater your own experiences, decide what you want to see or don't want to see, but a lot of people complain about 'having' to see it. pretty much every single fanfic writer i've spoken to and encountered says they NEVER want someone to send a fanfic to an idol/the person who is in it, which is good and i think the best course of action when it comes to fanfic.

all in all, fanfic exists, it's out there, and it's FICTION. it's not real, it's not meant to be shoved in other people's faces, it's not meant to be shared with the idols who are characters in it, and most often the idols are 'place-holders' for characters. what i mean by that is they are a common place for a lot of people, something recognizable and enjoyable, but the personalities and way they're written will always differ across the board. you could think of it almost as a canvas, a person you like being a canvas for you to paint your words and stories on. writing fanfiction about kpop does not make you any less or more of a fan, it doesn't mean you don't respect and care about these idols as human beings and people, and the biggest thing to worry about is simply understanding and respecting your boundaries as a fan by not sharing it/shoving it in the idols' face.

i hope this all makes sense and isn't coming off the wrong way? but i also hope it helps you feel better and understand how i feel!! you say english isn't your first language, but i would NEVER have guessed, your english is absolutely perfect and understandable <3 thank you so much for trusting me and talking to me about this, i'm very grateful and thankful for it and your sweet words about my works 🥺💕
