Can you do a reaction to An atiny accidentally flashing ATEEZ her thong or something at some point because their clothing rose up or fell

⛓️Of course! I wasn't really sure how to fully go about this, so hopefully, it's still good, haha! Thank you for the suggestion!⛓️

HONGJOONG

He'd spotted your thong during Bouncy. As you were dancing in the crowd your shirt had rode up and made the black lace visible. He eyed in intensely thinking about how he'd get you alone after the concert was over. Luckily for you, he'd made it extremely obvious to yourself that he was interested with intense and frequent eye contact. By the end of the set he was looking you up an down with a smirk, mouthing to 'stay right there' as they asked everyone to clear out. You ended up in his dressing room that night screaming louder than you ever have before.

SEONGHWA

You'd worn a beautiful black corset with intricate patterns woven into the fabric. It didn't take very long for Seonghwa to spot you in the crowd. And when you bent over to pick up your Seonghwa picket you'd dropped and he saw your bare ass with those tiny lace panties he knew you'd come here just for him and there was no way he was leaving without taking such a perfect gift. During Halazia when you mimicked his eye roll, he was struggling the rest of the concert not to pull you on stage and take you right then and there. After the concert you'd spend the next two days in his hotel room in pure bliss, your name long forgotten.

YUNHO

He'd spotted your pretty light blue thong from a mile away. It's not like you were trying to hide it with such low cut jeans. The fact that it looked so perfect on your skin as you danced to every single song that night had him swallowing harshly and taking more sips of his water than usual. His mind wondering if the fabric was stimulating you as you danced. Hed find out later just how wet you'd been all night noticing how he looked at you. By time he finally got to see those panties for himself they were soaked and he had every intention to keep you drenched for the rest of the night.

YEOSANG

He saw you walk in immediately taken by how stunning you were. Finding out quickly that he was your bias as you wearing his merch, his baseball jersey. But when you bent over in your white skirt and all you were wearing under was a thong he knew he just had to have you. Finding you after the concert wasn't hard as he'd told security to have you stay put until he could come back out. You stayed in his room that night as you were unable to make it to the hallway after he'd had his way with you.

SAN

You had been dancing aggressively, singing, and screaming at the top of your but when he saw your thong peak out during Crazy form he knew he'd be making you go just a little bit crazy later. The way your shirt rode up while dancing had you eventually tucking it into your bra. Your thong and belly chain now on full display the rest of the concert as your baggy shorts were low rise. At the end of the concert San bent down near by you and let you know he'd be seeing you later. Walking out to the parking lot San grabbed you by the waste and asked if you'd like to be his for the night.

MINGI

You went all out on your outfit, thong leather bikini with chaps and a matching denim vest. There was no way he was keeping his eyes of you and when he spotted the subtle detail on your bikini top saying 'fixon' it was almost impossible to contain himself. His breaking point was when they were doing Bouncy and outside of the normal choreo you were shaking your ass having a great time. He needed to see that on him right now. He settled for after the concert tho, deciding to take you back to any empty room available in the venue and watch that ass bounce off of him.

WOOYOUNG

You'd been eyeballing him all night, a smirk across your face growing wide every time you caught him looking back. He was definitely interested, not often someone comes onto him as strongly as he comes on to his fellow members. You'd decided to up your game, first subtly pulling down your shirt to expose your shoulder. When you saw that caught his attention the next break they had to talk with the fans you were tucking your shirt up into your bra adjusting your thong to sit above your hips before lowering your shirt back down. He'd had it. After the concert, he took you to his hotel room, and yall had the craziest, kinkiest, switchiest sex you've ever had.

JONGHO

You tried your best to make it insanely obvious who your bias was decked out in all brown. A cute white button-up with a brown cardigan and matching skirt, white socks, and black chunky heeled shoes. Your hair had two fuzzy brown ear clips holding up your piggy tails. There was no way Jongho wasn't going to notice you. He had smiled at you a few times, even waving one time, which made you blush. When you turned around and bent over to pick up something someone had dropped, he caught a glimpse of your thong. Usually a very tame man, he broke all his rules that night when he took you to his room and proceeded to devour you for hours.

[enchanted-keys]

(Im feeling dumb because i remembered to check the place™️ after sending you the ask) but now that i watched it i have a few notes

-fumi fucking kaneko. Ily ma'am i would be lying if i said i didnt cry with her appearing on stage

-i loved how the pointe shoes for the fairies were matte bc from far away it truly looked like they were floating

-gary avis spinning the necklace thing 10/10

-now i understand why i saw comments about how difficult the choreography is

Now some "negative" comments altho they are light

-that wig on vadream. Who did that deserves jail

-i liked the fairies' ball tutus better than the dresses from the first act

-the gloves on both the winter fairy and cinderella's ball outfit. Why. It looked cheap idk why

Overall that was 10000000/10 it's sure one of my favorite ballets now

Well, while definitely enjoy Cinderella I'm not sure I'll ever be able to call it a favorite. There's not enough Prince and too much, way too much, of the sisters. Although Gary Avis doing that thing with his necklace honestly had me laughing my ass off...that part was funny for real. The choreo is stunning, though. Surprisingly enough, my favorite fairy was O'Sullivan, followed by Choe as Autumn. I always love Fumi and she was stunning as usual, but Nela and Vadim were the real stars of the show for me: they were the real magic on that stage and I had eyes for them only. Not sure what you're referring to when you talk about a wig, though...that was Vadim's hair and I thought he looked very dashing. The act 1 fairy costumes are the only ones I don't like that much, except for spring, maybe, but do really like the act 2 tutus: the details from up close of those tutus are incredibly pretty.

#YEONJUN

oh my god he loves to take you on arcade dates! the only catch is that he gets oddly competitive

listen, he loves you to pieces, i promise. just don’t expect him to let you win. ever. and get ready for him to be obnoxious every time he beats you

also flexes a lot, but if anyone else wins or does something better than him he gets really pouty and insists he wasn't even trying

he walks out rambling about how he could’ve beat them in a heartbeat if he really wanted to; definitely waits for you to agree w him

mans will take any compliment you can give him with the dumbest, proudest smile

“how does it feel to have the coolest boyfriend ever?” 

—rest of the members under the cut !!

#SOOBIN

picnic date enthusiast i have no doubts

you bring sandwiches or fruits and he brings a blanket for you to sit on. poor guy blushes a lot every time you reach for the same snack

loves loves loves watching the sunset with you !!!!! in fact he probably distracts you until he gets to be like “wOw Is It rEaLlY tHaT lAtE noW?”

takes out his phone to take a picture of you. he is absolutely whipped for you in this lighting. his favorite word to describe you is ethereal

pinky promise to turn a blind eye when you see him set it as his wallpaper otherwise he won’t know what to do with himself </3

probably picks up small flowers near you to tuck them behind your ear

#BEOMGYU

no matter how much he has to drive he loves going to amusement parks. mostly because their fun but also because he wants to tease you every time you get scared of the rollercoasters

don’t tell him i told you but he’s always hoping you’ll ask him to match your outfits. when you don’t, he suggests you both buy the same shirt

“i bet you won’t get on the first seat with me”

does buy you all the food and souvenirs you want though. always plays the aiming games so he can win the biggest teddy bear for you

he’s so embarrassing he’ll literally go “this one’s for you bae” and then misses

you take lots of cute pictures together, yet he only posts the blurry and meme looking ones

#TAEHYUN

you say you’re going to the mall, but somehow always end up at the pet store

it’s not a true date of yours if you don’t point at a ferret or other animal and tell him you’ll name him terry just to mess with taehyun

he’ll frantically look for any animal who somewhat arguably looks like you or like they could be named after you, but ends up frustrated because you don’t get as annoyed as him

that or he’ll just say “haha you’re SO funNY” in the sassiest tone 

he also loves to take you to the ‘exotic’ animal section to tease you about gifting you a pet snake or tarantula because he knows they  make you feel iffy

“give me a solid reason i shouldn’t bring this hamster home with me”

#HUENING KAI

saturdays are for the boy(s) and karaoke

when the other members want to tag along you get a big room and order lots of food

you’d think because he’s an idol he’s ready to stun everyone with the vocals, but you actually sound like you’re in a screaming match

he also laughs a lot during the songs, so when it gives you a score you always get zeroes

when the cashier is feeling generous he gives you a discount or a free dessert solely because you’re regulars

when you sing he does tries to do the choreo but the room is usually too small for that. he usually sticks to background yells, sorry, vocals

A Unifying Theory of Loreography (Lore + Choreography)

(2/3/21) HELLO to all new folks finding this post! It is also now a YouTube Video, and I’m pretty happy with it so if you’d rather get your lore analysis visually please check it out! 

Preface: I don’t think it’s just coincidence that we got full choreography for an intro called “Devil is in the detail”, and I’ve made it my mission since 반박불가 dropped to pull apart the threads that might link everything, lore-wise. This morning I believe I had an epiphany about it, so here are my thoughts.

If this flops I will feel my soul exiting my body so please validate me.

Notes: In forming this theory I mostly considered the events of the storyline MVs and teasers as well as the choreography, but a very important part of my epiphanies came when considering the post-MV stingers for TBONTB and 반박불가. It’s using these stingers that I feel like I can better understand the thesis statements in the choreo. 

Part One: Now then, where were we? 

At the end of TBONTB, the monarchs are approaching monumental, pitch-black gates made of skulls and desperate, reaching hands. 

I can’t not interpret this as the gates of Tartarus, considering the Greek mythology in the canon lore already. Tartarus, however, is at the lowest depths of the underworld, and so my interpretation is that, while they reclaimed their souls from the necklace, they awoke physically in a realm beyond the underworld, and now have to make their way out of this psychological nightmare to breathe free the air, as it were. Through Tartarus, through Hell, this is not because I played 80 hours of Hades in the last three months but it might have a little to do with that. Stay with me. (Though if anyone is wondering, YES Leedo would be Zagreus, but that’s not why we’re here today)

Part Two: Devil is in the Detail 

What an opening formation. The imagery is not 100% clear to me, but I feel as if this entire opening formation sequence is dual-wielding imagery of a crown (much like the killing part of TBONTB), but also the gates of Tartarus. 

Look at this transition once Hwanwoong ascends to the top of the formation, and how the hands all come out, similar to the gates above. I’ll be damned if this is supposed to invoke anything else.

Rewinding a bit, this framing of Seoho being resuscitated and borne by their hands is stunning. Seoho’s journey in the TBONTB choreography merits its own post entirely, because there are a lot of moments that seem to be telling a story for him particularly, and this is just a continuation of that. 

Ravn and Leedo being separated for the rap line part seems like an obvious utilitarian choice, and I agree that it is. However, before we prepare to dismiss all “pairings” as serving the progression of the song itself, I have another theory that ties together a lot of the inciting moments of choreo. I promise you this is going to sound like A Reach, but that’s just how my mind works and if you enjoy it I’m glad.

Leedo, Hwanwoong, and Xion are the monarchs who have absolved themselves by the events of 반박불가, and fully reclaimed their souls as well as their conscience. Seoho and Ravn, not so much. They have a lot of work to do to free their conscience - especially Seoho. Oh, lord, especially Seoho. Keonhee is an extremely interesting case, as he seems to have a foot firmly in both sides, More on that later. 

For further paranoid conspiracy theorist proof of this, please note that their outfits in the choreography videos symbolically reflect this:

Light, Light, Light/Dark, Dark, Dark/Lightish, Light

If you need more convincing, may I point out that Leedo, Hwanwoong, and Xion are the only members who got those wonderful “all clothed in white” shots in the back half of the 반박불가 MV? I tried to make a gif, and I did make a gif, but Tumblr doesn’t want to post it in this text post.

(you rn)

The most interesting moments of loreography in DiitD are the following: 

1. These lotus hands. Again, the imagery, I die!! Keonhee is coming into his own, his character is blooming, expanding his consciousness, going sicko mode with the realization that he has power in the underworld. 

2. Directly following this, Seoho offers a hand to Keonhee and literally drags him down (again, the light/dark dichotomy of Keonhee), while the two good good boys Hwanwoong and Xion are back there just trying to maintain balance so they can get through this Hell/Tartarus thing. 

3. Good ol’ ONEUS Summoning Circle, but wait this time I think it’s actually meaningful beyond the imagery. Seoho is at the center because he has the vocal line, yeah obviously, but he stays there much longer than is objectively necessary without a formation change. This isn’t common in ONEUS choreography. As much as they love their Summoning Circles, they tend to move on to other formations quickly. This one has meat on its bones, and I think what’s happening here, loreography wise, are the other monarchs banding together in an attempt to save Seoho from the darkness. But Seoho is powerfully dark, y’all, even going so far as to overpower them in the moment above. 

4. This is flame imagery. Seoho has been engulfed in flames despite everyone’s best efforts. 

5. At the last minute, he gets yeeted via backflip back into Hell/Tartarus

6. Keonhee takes the initiative in going back for him...

7. We’re back in Hell, that’s just great. Thanks, Seoho. You’re lucky we love you and your extremely disturbed conscience. 

With this in mind, you can probably get way ahead of me, here. 

Part Three: 반박불가 

Perhaps not remarkably, the title track doesn’t have nearly as many loreography beats as DiitD. However, we know it’s part of the lore, and this was made abundantly clear simply with that opening move...

This is where we left off TBONTB, but not exactly. There is a slightly different formation of dancers here, which suggests it’s not picking up exactly where TBONTB left off, but rather that this is a cue to let casual fans know, explicitly: yes, this is a continuation of the TBONTB story. 

Some moments don’t have choreography allusions, but they are loud in the MV, such as:

- “Youngjo, would you stop playing with flowers, our lead vocalist is going to Hell.” Ravn, who barely scraped out of Hell last time, ostensibly with Leedo’s help according to the rap line break in the choreography, has a rough time of it in the 반박불가 MV, but Hwanwoong isn’t going to let him fall back into toxic behaviors and lose himself to that psychological prison again. Hwanwoong drags Ravn back out of Hell, but not before Ravn successfully makes contact with Seoho. Obviously, Ravn would be the one to make contact, because Ravn’s still a little on edge about his own conscience and can easily backslide if he wants to. Who does he find down there? Seoho.

- Keonhee, who led the charge to return to Hell, is staying on task but seems to be the chief of operations to Hwanwoong’s chief of intelligence here, exercising his newfound sicko mode. Those two are certainly working hardest at keeping the servants of darkness in check down in the depths so they can make a quick break for it. 

- Leedo’s actually having a grand time fighting his own demons - or rather, smirking at them and realizing that nah, he’s good. He can use his guilt and regret to motivate him towrd good things now. 

- Xion is literally just above all of this and can move between Hell and Earth with ease, so he’s just waiting to see if he has to pull any Fallen God-Prince cards here to save his friends. 

Now, for the key loregraphy moments. It’s obvious that 1Million was choreographing for a new direction in the ONEUS style, here, so it’s nearly bereft of the usual lyricism and formations, but they’re definitely there. Unsurprisingly they almost all deal with Seoho. 

1. God, this moment whips. They’re all working to free Seoho and lock the gates behind them, with Keonhee giving Seoho one final push. That’s not a normal choreography move. That is storytelling and it sticks out like a beautiful sore thumb with an entire sonnet written on it. 

2. With Seoho on lock, now Ravn may break out. He does so rather easily, but it’s not without Hwanwoong’s help. Please notice that Keonhee and Seoho are the two BEHIND him, and what that symbolizes. 

3. This fucking bridge. It’s amazing with the loreography. First of all we have Keonhee, and the Summoning Circle is using the same imagery/texture that was formerly used to represent engulfing fire. Uh-oh.

4. Keonhee reaches out...

... but gets dragged under.

5. (excited football commentator voice) but who’s that on the outside making it to the surface, literally with the support of the other monarchs? IT’S SEOHO (cheers)!!

And Seoho finishes things out in the center, as well he should because he got us into this mess.

Part Four: What just happened to Keonhee

I’m so angry at this post-MV stinger. It took me forever to wrap my brain around what is being suggested here, because I thought “hey wait, the red lighting represents darkness/hell, doesn’t it?? DOESN’T IT?? RBW???? I thought we just GOT OUT OF HELL????

So I leave the final interpretation in everyone's individual hands, but the thought that occurred to me today was: 

What if this entire scenario was a test of resolve and camaraderie, an illusion, a trick by the Devil (or that donger Helios, whatever). What if Keonhee was the only one who saw through this, and the only one who genuinely made it to Earth at the moment he appeared to have been dragged back to Hell? Because, as we know, Keonhee is a tactical genius, a monarch among the monarchs, and all his visual imagery in the MV suggested a sort of power cabal. 

What if he realized that they weren’t all strong enough to face the challenge of breaking this cycle, so he schemed to leave them behind, but leave them safe in the illusion, while he struck out with the power of God and anime on his side.

I... I think Keonhee is about to go kill and dethrone a God, y’all. 

[kingdomtual]

If you need to pick, which KPOP MV would you watch for the rest of your life and why

I don’t think I can pick just one omg :( I’ll do my top three LOL

In no particular order: Excalibur by Kingdom, Lit by Oneus, and Thunder by Verivery.

Excalibur because it has the most distinct and easy to follow storyline, plus I love their outfits and the colors are super bright and vibrant. They have super bold choreo, too.

Lit because it’s got an incredible aesthetic and again the colors are stunning. There’s no real storyline but the entire MV is vibrant and full of life.

Thunder because it tells a very distinct story, and I love the imagery throughout. I just love watching the besties going to save their missing bestie Kangmin :( plus magic and weird happenings! It’s not nearly as vibrant, but the darkness and lighting were PERFECT for the mood of the story.

So, those are my top three for boy groups. I’m sure I could do a top three for girl groups too LOL but anyway, I don’t wanna go on forever

Sorry I’m bad at picking one favorite LOL

[totallypathet]

Episode 8

A rusical, okay! We like a rusical. Interesting how they've done it this year though, I don't think they've ever done a rusical where they weren't either singing live or lipsyncing to a pre-arranged track of vocals. Half of me thinks it would have been better if they'd just sung it live, but then I guess they couldn't have done the OTT choreo.

The rusical itself was a little weird, some of the writing was just odd, and the "jokes" really weren't that funny. Anyway, let's talk about it!

1. Denali

I was worried for Denali this week! It happens so often on this show where we see queens say "I don't understand why I've only been safe I have to really up my game this week" and then they promptly get the judges attention in all the wrong ways and get sent home. I also kind of think Rosé did her a massive favour by refusing to give her the role they fought over (I can't even remember the names, they were all bizarre), because I think Denali would have got so in her head about that role and just wouldn't have been able to let go and have fun like she did.

After the Anne Hathaway call though, she just seemed so much happier and more relaxed, and she kind of just went into it with a much better attitude and she killed it! She did an awesome job in the rusical, it was fun to see her play a sort of grungy, messy character because she's so polished usually. She did an amazing job, and she deserved to be in the top this week!

Her look for me was a little bit meh, I just wish the snake headpiece had been bigger and bolder. From a distance it kind of looked like noodles. But it was still good, she still looked great, and I'm proud of her!

2. Elliott

Why is Elliott still there? I don't get it. She should have gone last week, and then this week her performance was just okay, and her look was a worse version of Tina's.

She should have been lipsyncing for me, or at least in the bottom three! I don't get what they see in her.

3. Gottmik

Gottmik was great this week! I loved her performance, again it was fun watching her do something outside her comfort zone, she's not really known for being a dancer, so it was cool to see that. I really like that she really genuinely gave that her absolute best, like she knew she wasn't a great dancer but she worked really hard to get that choreography, and she did it great!

Her look was stunning, obviously! Gottmik and Symone are carrying the runway fashion this season. It was very cool, very conceptual, very Gottmik.

I dont know that I necessarily would have put her in the top this week. I think she was great, but I actually think Tina should have been in the top - which is something I never thought I'd say!

4. Kandy Muse

I feel like Kandy was mostly just unfortunate this week.

I think her recorded track was great - I did think there were to many vocal effects on it, but that's not really her choice, she can't blame her. I also think she's not a bad dancer, but I think she was thrown off to some extent by her wardrobe choices - the wig got in the way too much, and the skirt seemed to be a bit restricting, it just doesn't seem like she thought those choices through very well. It wasn't her best performance, but I also don't think it was a bad performance, which is kind of why I think she was just unfortunate.

Her runway this week I think was stunning. I feel like every week I say she's never looked prettier, but honestly this week she looked so pretty!! I loved the daisy's in her hair, and that long wig was so stunning with all that gorgeous fabric, I just loved it.

I think it's right that she was in the bottom, but again I don't think she did a bad job this week, I think she just delivered an average performance, when most of the other queens had a good performance.

5. Olivia Lux

Another great week for Olivia! She has such a stunning voice I was so excited to hear her do more singing. I kind of think she should have been in the tip three, but again I am biased, as an Olivia Stan 😂

My only real criticism of her this week was her outfit in the rusical? I get that she was a tech student, and I think she was just going for a casual look, it's just kind of unfortunate that it came off boring instead. I kind of wish she'd leaned into a more student look, and done like, stained sweatpants, and a really messy bun. Actually, it would have been really funny if, you know like you see art students with messy buns and a pencil through it? If she'd have done a messy bun and like a computer mouse through it or something! But overall her performance was incredible.

She always brings it on the runway as well, she brings these kind of pageant gowns, but in a really beautiful and modern way? I love it. I loved the big puff sleeve, I loved the fringe, she looked stunning.

6. Rosé

Rosé made me so happy this week! Her voice is so incredible, that Don't Rain on My Parade pastiche literally gave me chills! She is talented as hell, and I'm glad the judges are seeing it.

Her performance was really incredible - she's an incredible singer, and a great dancer - but I have a similar thing as Olivia about her outfit in the rusical? It just seemed like kind of an odd choice. I didn't get until like halfway through that she was meant to be like "the slutty friend", I just didn't really get that from her look. When the dress kept riding up it just looked like a mistake, you know what I mean? Again, it's a nitpick - they probably didn't have a whole lot of outfit choices for this challenge because they didn't know their roles before they came.

I loved her runway look as well! I loved the Mask reference, the only thing I wish is that she'd had a big hat, instead of that tiny fascinator. I'm so nitpick today, honestly! I just sort of wish she'd walked out with a big hat pulled right down and then revealed the green face when she hit the end of the runway. But that's just me! I did think it was stunning. I also don't think it was orange? Like it was the orange side of yellow, but it was definitely still yellow!

I'm really glad she won this challenge, she deserved it so much!

7. Symone

Symone had a bit of a rough week, and I feel for her. She really struggled with her vocals, and look not everyone is a singer, that's okay! But I can see how much she got I her head having seen other queens absolutely kill their vocals, and I think she just felt really insecure about it. I do kind of think it's unfair that they record their vocals in front of everyone else. When it's a team challenge, it makes sense, but when they're competing as individuals it just seems unfair and literally designed to make the queens who aren't singers feel bad!

Also, sidenote, they recors vocals in this huge, wide open runway room, that can't be good acoustics in which to record vocals, surely. In earlier seasons they seemed to use (at least something akin to) a recording studio? I'm confused.

Anyway, it was tough to watch this week, because she really did just get in her head about it, and it affected her whole performance. She wasn't having a good time, and that was rough. I do think part of the problem is that she was wearing sunglasses during the performance? When the audience can't see your eyes it's really difficult for them to connect with you while you're performing. It was just a shame.

Her runway look though! Honestly, her and Gottmik are going to need physio after carrying the whole of the fashion for season 13 on their backs! It was so stunning, that big coat, and the suspenders; she looked so cool and fashionable, I just immediately forgave the rest of her performance!

Unfortunately, I do think she deserved to be in the bottom this week, but I really hope she can pull back up to being the Symone we all know and love next week!

8. Tina Burner

I actually really liked Tina this week! I've been very underwhelmed with Tina this season, but I actually think she did a great job this week! I loved her very Liza Minelli rusical performance (and look), she was giving me that very old Broadway half talking, half singing; and I think it was great! Okay Michelle, she stopped lipsyncing like 2 seconds before the track when she died, but she really performed her track, and she sang it really well!

And then her runway look was great! It was campy, but it was also beautiful! It was fitted beautifully, it was cut beautifully, she looked stunning, the headlights on the tits was hilarious - and I noticed after the lipsync that those were actual lights! They actually lit up! So cute! And finally she wore something other than a red wig, and she looked so beautiful! Her face was gorgeous, the hair was perfect, it was great. So polished.

She did not at all deserve to be bottom three this week - especially not when Elliott with 3 Ks was safe.

9. Utica

I feel like my opinion on Utica goes up and down all the Time. Sometimes I think she's great, and other times I just feel kind of bored by her.

This week I was a little bored. I think she did well delivering that track, that's a tough vocal part. That's it.

Maybe that's not super fair. I just think her actual performance was a bit boring, and her facial expressions are genuinely becoming hard to watch. I am not looking forward to watching her lipsync when she lands in the bottom two.

I also hated hated hated her runway look this week. I know she was going for this medieval thing and she explained the cutout sides and all that, but it was ugly. And not even in a cool way of being ugly but fashionable, or so ugly that it's pretty; it was just fuck ugly.

I think it was right that she was safe, her performance was better than Kandy, Symone and Elliott, but her runway look was definitely the worst.

This week was kind of a weird one, because I really really didn't understand the judging criteria this week. I am still baffled that Elliott was safe, I'm baffled that she's still there at all, honestly. I'm also still shocked about Tina being in the bottom?! I don't get it.

I am kind of glad it was a double shantay this week - I just kind of feel like neither Kandy nor Symone actually did a bad enough job to go home this week.

Having said that, it is getting very tiring that there is still so many queens there! 8 episodes and only 4 queens have gone home? How long is this fucking series going to be???

[lveclouds]

(in which hoseok takes you to your favorite boba tea place to cool off after bts’ long rehearsal for their upcoming concert)

though the air inside the studio was a bit stuffy and warm, you decided to not let it bother you, for this was the only place where you could see your boyfriend, hoseok, dance his heart out. you had always loved watching him dance, his movements always precise and sharp and breathtaking. whenever hoseok invited you to sit in on bangtan’s rehearsals, you always went, no matter what. 

and that’s where you were currently, sitting on a black folding chair with a few bighit employees, watching bts rehearse for their upcoming concert. you never got tired of seeing them perform, for it never failed to take your breath away. all of their dance styles were all unique and you loved watching how they seemed to move as one. jungkook was powerful and precise, jimin had years of contemporary dancing under his belt, and it definitely showed in their last performance, when he had twirled and jumped around the stage with ease, a white silk sheet in his hands as he performed to the instrumental version of i need u. he always looked extremely grateful, and yet he always managed to captivate everyone in the audience. taehyung was sharp and powerful, and seemed to radiate a mysterious aura. however, he was also a member that could easily enchant everyone with his gaze. the hyung line were also no different. namjoon and jin, according to hoseok, had struggled a lot with picking up choreography, but they worked hard to improve. their dancing styles are distinct, almost a little subtle at times, but incredible nonetheless. yoongi was a confident dancer, and though he continuously denied the fact that he could dance; he contradicted his statements with how he seemed to pick up moves easily and execute them on stage. and, lastly, there was hoseok. hoseok always stood out from the rest, in a good way, of course. he was powerful and a bit intimidating at times; his movements always precise and sharp. you never failed to be amazed at how he danced along to the beat of a song with expertise and ease. hoseok was also another member that commanded your attention onstage. he was also the one who was responsible for teaching the other members choreography, and even contributed some of his own moves to it. 

you watched in awe as they rehearsed no more dream, all of their moves precise and confident, and you fought the urge to break out into applause when all the members turned around, and jungkook picked up jimin as if he weighed nothing, running him along his hyungs’ backs. it all happened so fast, and you wished you could turn back time and watch the moment unfold once more. 

jungkook ran up to you immediately, doe eyes wide and bright, soft black hair messy and unruly, a few strands sticking to his forehead. he looked exhausted, but happy nonetheless. “what did you think?” you smiled fondly at the maknae. “it was amazing, guk. all of you are such incredible performers.” a shade of pink settled across his cheeks, smiling shyly. “thank you.” “no need to thank me, guk.” you reached out and ruffled his hair affectionately. “you’re too cute, guk.” said man pouted. “i’m not cute. i’m a grown man.” you laughed. “i know you are ,jungkook. you’re cute, though.” the maknae rolled his eyes playfully. “whatever you say, y/n.” with that, he walked off to talk to taehyung, who was huddled in the corner of the room, fiddling with his phone. 

 later, after you and hoseok had said your goodbyes to the other members, promising to meet them back at the dorm for dinner, he suggested that the two of you go for a quick bubble tea run. a few minutes later, you and hoseok were sitting in a booth, enjoying your drinks and each other’s company. as you were busy with your internship. you barely got to see him. fortunately, today was one of your rare days off, and you made sure to take the opportunity to spend as much time with hoseok as possible. 

“so, how did you like today’s rehearsal?” he asked, reaching up to brush a few stray strands of hair off his forehead.  “it was amazing. i loved it. all of you are incredible dancers.” a light shade of pink settled across his cheeks, a shy smile gracing his perfect features. “t-thank you. we were all stressing out it about last night. we want to make sure that everything’s perfect for army.” you reached across the table to squeeze his hand gently. “you’ll do amazing, and they’ll love it. they always do.” you reassured him. hoseok gave you a grateful smile, which made your heart swell. his smile was so gorgeous and it never failed to take your breath away. 

“will you come to the concert?” you scoffed. “babe, is that even a question? of course i’ll be there!” hoseok laughed. “i was just making sure.” “we should probably get back. jin’s going to be pissed if the food gets cold.” 

as you walked back to the dorm with hoseok, you couldn’t help but sneak a few secret glances at him every now and then. hoseok was easily one of the most gorgeous guys you’d ever laid eyes on, with soft, light brown hair that always looked so soft, beautiful hazel eyes, perfect eyebrows and nose, sharp jawline, and, last but not least, his lips. his lips were pink and plush and were like heaven to kiss. you couldn’t help to be endeared by the mole on his upper lip, which you personally found adorable. he had an adonis like beauty, for you couldn’t believe that someone that stunning existed. to top it all off,  hoseok made the loose, white shirt and distressed denim shorts (it’s the outfit he wore in the the ddaeng practice video) he was currently sporting look more glamorous than it should. 

“it’s not fair.” you mumbled. “what’s not fair?” “why are you so beautiful, hoseok?” he let out an amused laugh. you huffed in frustration. “i’m serious.” “i don’t know, babe. ask my parents.” 

you shoved him lightly on the shoulder. “you’ve been hanging out with jin too much.” he scoffed. “i don’t know what you mean by that. jin hyung’s just confident.” “well, it’s definitely rubbing off on you, then.” hoseok chuckled. “i guess so. anyway, thank you for letting me know that you think i’m gorgeous.” he teased. you blushed furiously. “s-shut up. y-you weren’t supposed to hear that.” “i’m glad i did, though.” he wrapped an arm around your shoulders, placing a soft kiss on the side of your head. “i love you.” “i love you, too.” 

a/n: this sucked but i hope it was ok! next drabble will be jin’s!! and then i’m thinking of posting another chapter of my untamed au hehe before i work on the drabbles for the maknae line!

Omg there's so much to talk about this is soooooo good!!!!!! Here we go :

- I love the song!!! The bridge is my favorite part, it's just so so good!

- what we see of the choreo seems amazing

- the concept suits them so well! Especially Heejin, Kim Lip, and Olivia. They're killing it!

- I looooooove the outfits omg especially when they're rocking baggy pants and boots.

- Loonaverse : I'm too tired to analyze anything but : Olivia is literally burning the moon??? And then some burning parts of the moon are falling to earth. It seems she's on the moon and the others are on earth. Also the white feathers un-burning themselves at the end?? What does it mean about Haseul??? Also why were Chuu and Gowon the only ones in bright cute outfits, does it mean something or did BBC thought they couldn't pull off the badass look lol.

- Cinematography flawless as usual, thank you digipedi, there are so many gorgeous shots with absolutely stunning lighting... Yes.

- I'm disappointed Vivi and Choerry don't seem to have lines though 😞

han’s Entire Thoughts and Feelings on GFriend’s “Fever”

literally no one asked but WHEN DO I EVER HAVE NOTHING TO SAY-

like red velvet im not a HUGE buddy but im invested enough so as i said no one requested but im still here!!! plus i heard the teaser and i was excited lmao this all my personal thoughts and want them out

no read mores i know thats annoying but like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ look at my other posts theyre all long its my brand

ALRIGHT SO-

THE SONG aiight so i had to watch their other music videos to see some consistency and from what i could point out is it starts relatively slow in the beginning and then HITS YOU with a build up a beat drop and dancing which I LIKED it gets the curiosity going yknow!!!!!!! i REALLY liked the pre-chorus part LIKE YUJUS PART?????? AND IT BUILDS UP?????? bich...........

the chorus got me swaying from side to side and thank the lord the music doesnt hit you in the face and dig deep into your eardrums and it just feels positive???? like the energy???? it was soothing to me and it has that summer and tropical feeling BUT its more of the relaxing side of summer

so this middle part was interesting to me for some reason let me explain if it were ANY OTHER GROUP you know they wouldve forced a whole ass rap right there dont liE TO ME- so i type this out bc it was a lowkey break from sinb herself and looking like a snacc™ (but ill get to that later) and i didnt mind it! (it was literally five seconds but i liked it let me live)

LETS TALK ABOUT THIS BRIDGE FOR A SECOND im noticing that im magnetically DRAWN to the bridge part and i like that part the most out the whole song like they really did That™ also eunhas HIGH NOTE L I S T E N people usually expect yuju to hit a high note in their songs but eunha really killed that and i appreciate it!!!!!! ive always liked all of their voices they just have tones that sound sweet yknow what i mean??? like if a bakery came to life and became six people-

THE DANCE we love a good center sinb so when the dance started right at the beginning and she was there that broke my neck then they had to give me center sinb AGAIN and that broke my spine AND THEN they gave me center yerin and that broke my knees- what im saying is this killed me-

its pretty obvious that this songs choreo doesnt go AWF™ as much as their other songs do which i think was done like that bc its a relaxing summery song so the dancing shouldnt go hard and be super complicated like let me tell you the dance they do during THE CHORUS BICTH the entire thing got me trying to kick my leg and spin around with my arm up just like they were the split second they dropped it low i almost dropped dead and i liked that part at the end with umji when they were in a line while she was singing??? it was satisfying to watch

THE VISUALS i know i keep saying its summery and all but theyre in the desert??? theyre legitimately in the desert both wandering in it and under a car parking lot thing with two (2) cars (not sponsored what you mean) and a gas station I MEAN there was outside that building and inside the building and that place where theyre sitting on that wall which like this is very Aesthetically Pleasing™ to my eyes

anyway some sets and stuff i DID LIKE:

that scene with sinb umji and yerin on that couch surrounded by all those plants and looking stunning in the light and through those plants yes-

sowon and yerin lying on the floor in front of a sunset backdrop in the middle of the room and you can see through the windows outside i found that pretty interesting to look that

that one set theyre dancing on in the middle of the street or whatever in front of that building the colors were hella nice to me

when all of them were sitting on that wall with those trees behind them and those bright lights

and yknow what i actually liked the camerawork i dunno why it made the mv nice to watch

then that ending part where they were all standing with all those plants that was like SUPER COOL to look at (dont ask why i dunno how to explain it pls)

T H E M

id like to make it clear that they werE ALL SERVING FACE (giving the Smize™ if you will) and looking SO BEAUTIFUL AND STUNNING I DUNNO IF WORDS COULD EVEN PERFECTLY CAPTURE HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE imma try tho

i would like to start with mentioning that i loved the makeup and hair here like i have no complaints or anything like that for any of them they all look freaking amazing and i cant believe theyre existing like this-

so we dont see sowon all that much which is a shame because that red dress and that black outfit and That White Crop Top™ outfit with the kinda baggy pants and THAT BLUE DRESS was popping like she was looking really Good™

so yerin was pretty much the Face™ of this video which is all fine and dandy yknow shes real pretty like i knew the moment i saw those teaser pictures of her i was gonna get wrecked by her (like thats it she nearly made me swerve) lets talk about that outfit with the baggy jeans bc OOF-

eunha had long hair in one of her teasers which i was nervous about (still big mad about seulgi in zimzalabim) HOWEVER it didnt happen like that THANK GOD i thought it was weird that she was wearing beige when everyone was wearing black??? and that black outfit with the gloves........ it was a choice that was made NONETHELESS SHES B E A U T I F U L

yuju.................................... LISTEN- this is my bias okay she really waltzed through this video like the Snacc™ (more like five star dinner but okay) she is and feeding me well with her visuals like every time she stared into the camera my brain did dial up like that first outfit she wore when she started singing i knew i wasnt gonna survive and the purple dress AND that one blue fit she was wearing when she was literally just STANDING like i cant take it seriously im at my limit i-

SO ANOTHER MEMBER THAT JUST ALWAYS WRECKS ME IS SINB AND SHE IS RUDE™ like this hair color those braids when she was wearing THAT™ black outfit that oversized white button up whatever that was anD THAT GREEN ONE!!!!!!!

lets get one thing straight umji is always hella stunning okay like A L W A Y S like the white pants with the black crop top and like that black fit GIVE👏ME👏MORE👏PONYTAIL👏UMJI👏and that blue one and that PINK ONE WAS EVERYTHING AND THAT ONE WITH THE PURPLE FLOWERS AND THE LEAVES BICTH-

its a FUN SONG like ive been listening to it on a loop so i could make this review and im STILL not sick of it or anything ive been in a bouncy mood bc of it!!!! its clearly a different style when you compare it to their past title tracks but i personally welcome it!!! tho ill keep it real with you chief i could see some elements in the songs that might cause someone to get a little bored after a bit or maybe already bored but i am NOT that someone

i finish this with a scene i cant get over:

IN CONCLUSION: ISSA BOP™ AND IM GONNA KEEP WATCHING THIS VIDEO BC IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD AND HAPPY NOT BC OF YUJU LOOKING LIKE A WHOLE MEAL I SWEAR

YOUR POV

Practice that day was one of the most concentrated the group has had in a while. Now that you all were working towards the goal of making something look good for the competition that was happening soon, you all were giving your 100% to the choreo that you had all made collectively.

Once the clock hit the end of rehearsal, everyone in WINGS was a sweaty mess. Hoseok was the first to pull himself together for ending remarks, clapping his hands.

“Ah, great job everyone!” His heart shaped smile showed his gratitude, pulling the towel around his neck in order to wipe away the extra sweat from his face. you were splayed out on the floor, next to a very sweaty Jungkook who was sitting upright. His legs were spread and his head was tilted back, his weight centered more on his hands. Your mind raced, making you think of what had happened last time you had seen that same exact position, except he was on his bed and you were in between his le--

“Hey lineage, are we still going out for drinks today? Deung Dae is doing ₩1,000 tequila shots today!” Jimin pushed his hair back from his face, grinning. Taehyung’s nose scrunched, a pout on his face.

“Ah, tequila shots? I wanna go...” Taehyung leaned his head onto Kevin’s shoulder, pouting at his boyfriend who was part of the lineage. Jimin frowned at Taehyung.

“But you can’t because you have that midterm paper in your animal nutrition class, soulmate.”

Kevin nodded his head at Jimin’s statement, shifting slightly to leave a small peck on Taehyung’s forehead, “I know it’s lineage bonding, Chim, but I think I’ll stay back tonight. I have a practical tomorrow to study for and I’ll also make sure this one actually writes his paper instead of playing with Tan.”

You, on the other hand, were having a staring contest with Jungkook, his eyes insinuating very inappropriate things as they looked you up and down. “-you, sis?”

“Huh?”

You broke eye contact with Jungkook, shooting up immediately and meeting Jimin’s fond smile, “Are you coming tonight? We don’t have biochem lecture tomorrow morning since Dr. Wang cancelled.”

Humming, you thought about the pros and cons of going out tonight after 10 pm. “I’ll go, but I need to shower first.” Jimin and Hoseok agreed with you, the older boy asking Jungkook if he wanted to come as well. The youngest Beta Tau agreed almost immediately, asking if his Big or Grand were coming with.

“I know Seokjin hyung’s coming, I don’t think your lineage is though, they’re lazy when it comes to weekday parties, and I think Yoongi and Jinhee have a ‘rehearsal’ or whatever they wanna call their date.” Hoseok said, “Don’t worry though, Kook, hyung will pay for your tequila shots tonight.”

“Let’s go, then?” You asked Jungkook, “I wanna shower as soon as possible.”

The group of you going out agreed to meet at Hoseok’s apartment at 11:30, leaving the dance studio altogether after saying your goodbyes to the couple. As soon as you were left alone with Jungkook walking back, he snuck a pinch of your ass.

“Why are you always horny, Jeon Jungkook?” You said with a sly smile, “We don’t have time for a quickie, besides I feel gross.”

“We can always shower together,” He suggested with a sparkling glint in his eyes. You shook your head making him whine, “y/n.”

“Jungkook,” you imitated, “hey! If you keep looking at me like that during practice, the oppas are bound to find out.”

“You looked at me first!” he retaliated, “and they only joke about it, it’s not like they’ll actually realize that we fuck almost every day.”

“You know,” You said jokingly as you scanned your ID to the gates of your dorm, “I sorta miss the Jungkook that could barely look at girls.”

“Really,” he said playing along with your tone, “You miss the Jungkook that won’t kiss and fuck you until you can’t breathe?”

As soon as the both of you entered the elevator, he closed you in against the railing, his face hovering above yours so closely that you could hear his every breath. His hands rested on your waist as yours circled around his neck. The boy leaned in, closing the distance between your lips, nipping at your lip when your hands fisted his hair. The kiss ended all too quickly as the ding of the elevator reached your floor. Jungkook pulled away and touched your cheek with a smirk, “Come to my room when you’re done getting ready.”

You replied breathlessly, walking in the opposite direction to your room to go take a shower. It took you 20 minutes to shower and get dressed into a cute outfit for the night. You settled with a pair of light ripped jeans and a black long sleeved mesh shirt with your favorite black Victoria’s Secret bra underneath and definitely see-through. After drying your hair and shoving a portable charger and money into a fanny pack, you left your room and headed towards Jungkook’s. You didn’t even bother to knock, knowing it would be unlocked anyway and walked in casually, “Ready to go Kook?”

The boy turned around to face you as he put his belt through the pant loops. He also wore jeans and a black top, but he added a beige-colored blazer, making his outfit a tad more professional. He didn’t even hide the way he checked you out, biting his lip as he stared, “Wow.”

You know what you were doing to him, but you decided to be difficult tonight, which you know eventually led to great sex, “C’mon, the oppas are waiting for us at the apartment.”

“y/n, you’re really wearing that and expecting me to not get hard?”

Rolling your eyes, you leaned in and pressed a quick kiss on his cheek, “Later after I get my shots, Jungkook.”

With a whine, the two of you left your dorms and went the short distance to Hoseok and Seokjin’s apartment. You felt the ghost of his hand hovering over the small of your back, the heat of his hand radiating through the mesh shirt. Right before opening the door to the annex of Seokjin and Hoseok’s apartment, Jungkook spun you around, pinning you to the wall and kissing you quite rough. You gasped in surprise at the sudden kiss, his eyes glazed over with lust as soon as you could pull away to see his face. Your lipstick was slightly smeared on his lips which made you turn pink. Jungkook only smirked, leaning into your ear.

“You just wait till we get back to the dorm, baby girl. You’re such a naughty girl for daddy, aren’t you?” Jungkook growled, your stomach flipping when he pulled away. You stood stunned as he walked into the apartment, leaving you outside for just a hot moment to check your appearance. You two usually messed around with each other every moment that you two had alone, but the way his words hit you was a little different today.

You shook your head. You’re just fuck buddies, nothing more. It’s not that deep.

The words echoed as a gentle reminder in your head as you cleaned up your lipstick, your head shaking slightly. You opened the door to their apartment, the first person who’s eyes caught yours being your Big Bro, Jimin. He beamed at you fondly, automatically making your lips curve up in a bright smile as well. You greeted your lineage first, the two of them smiling sweetly at you. As soon as Jimin picked you up as a Little Sis, Hoseok’s flirting antics stopped completely, the boy turning into a more relaxed version of protective Jimin. After them, you gave Seokjin a hug, the elder jokingly commenting, “It took you kids long enough.” You giggled a little, Hoseok leaning against the door leading down to the garage with Seokjin’s car keys in hand.

The handful of you got into the car, Seokjin and Hoseok playing a quick round of rock, paper, scissors to decide who was to drive back (spoiler alert: you didn’t even have to look up to hear the loud screams that was Seokjin complaining about being Hoseok’s designated driver). Jimin sat in between you and Jungkook, diffusing any funny business that you two would have even thought about doing. The car ride was loud as expected when the people sitting in the driver’s seat and shotgun were the loudest in the car, the ride to Deung Dae filled with laughs and terrible singing the whole way. Once the bar came into view, you began to buzz with excitement with how the night would end up for you and Jungkook.

--

You and Jimin sat at the bar, Jimin flirting casually with the bartender and coaxing out a few shots from the bartender. You were baffled with how easily the bartender gave into his flirting, even if it was ₩1,000 shots today. Jimin passed a shot to you, a grin on his face.

“Drink up, Lil Sis.”

You were only four shots in before Jimin started talking to you about Jungkook, “You know, y/n, I really thought something was going on between you and Jungkook, but I’m sorta over that thought now.”

“What makes you say that?”

He pointed to the dance floor with his fifth shot before downing it. Your eyes found Jungkook’s figure immediately, and with him you found a girl, ass pressed against his crotch. You felt your face go red and it wasn’t from the alcohol.

“Oppa, I think I’ve had enough for now, I’m gonna go dance,” you said absentmindedly to Jimin, the boy about to ask you something else before the bartender passed him another drink. Part of you wanted to stomp right up to Jeon Jungkook and slap the shit out of him, the other - more sober part - decided to just dance at a distance, eyeing the two every now and then.

Jealously filled your entire being as you saw the girl dancing with Jungkook kiss his neck. I’m gonna tell him, how fucking dare he break our agreement, was he that horny that he resolved to any willing pussy to satisfy his needs, I swear to-

“y/n? y/n hey!”

You awoke from your thoughts to meet eyes with Kim Mingyu. You knew Mingyu because he was in Jihoon’s friend group, the two of them rather close. After you and Jihoon stopped talking, you only saw Mingyu from Jungkook’s volleyball practices and games. He and Jungkook practiced together quite frequently, being gym and pepper partners.

You smiled at him, glad that it was a familiar face rather than some stranger, “hey Mingyu.”

“I haven’t seen you in so long,” he said moving along to the music with you, “you look amazing, by the way.”

“Thanks,” you said shyly, a blush forming on your cheeks. “Yeah, I don’t really hang out with Jihoon anymore, we both got super busy.”

“Such a shame, the boys and I really loved it when you came to our hangouts.”

You gently hit his arm, “hey, I see you when I go to Jungkook’s volleyball games.”

“Yeah, but all you do is watch Jeon,” he said with a smirk. You scoffed and strongly denied his comments, “If you say so, y/n. Tell me, are you and Jungkook a thing?”

You stopped dancing at his question, grabbing his wrist to let him know to follow you. the two of you weaved your way back to the bar, Mingyu paying for two margaritas. You looked around a little bit for Jimin, seeing as he was no longer taking shots. The two of you sat down and faced each other, leisurely taking sips of your drinks as you talked.

“Jungkook and I aren’t dating, we’re just...close friends,”

“So you’re fucking, I mean I see those hickeys when we practice,” Mingyu shrugged catching you off guard, “There’s no shame in hiding it, y/n. My best friend, you know Wonwoo, he’s in that sorta relationship right now with this one girl, too.”

“I-um...”

“You know, I only ask because I don’t wanna try and make moves on one of my friends’ girls,” He said, “I’m not that kind of guy, besides I respect Jeon a lot, he’s a good friend.”

You raised your eyebrow, finishing your drink, “Why, are you trying to make a move on me?”

The tall boy only slid his hand from your knee up to your thigh, his thumb making circles on your jeans, “Only if you’ll let me.”

If Jungkook could grind with some girl, then you could flirt with Mingyu. Besides, you always found Mingyu attractive. He was the perfect definition of tall, dark, and handsome.

“Mingyu, can you do me a favor?” You asked, “just for tonight?”

“I don’t catch feelings that fast, don’t worry.” He said placing his hand on your waist. Suddenly, you felt nervous leaning in to kiss Mingyu. Your kiss, however, was short lived as you felt Mingyu being roughly pulled away from you.

“Dude, what the fuck?”

As you faced a pissed-off Jungkook, your own anger and jealousy came flooding back. “Dude, don’t you have someone else you could be screwing?”

Mingyu tried to speak calmly, sensing the thick air between you and Jungkook, “Sorry, Jeon. I asked y/n and she said you two weren’t together.”

“We-We’re not, but just...don’t mess around with her.” Jungkook said, he could never be angry with his teammate, especially if that teammate was Mingyu. Mingyu nodded and gave your hand a quick squeeze, telling you it was his time to go.

“Mingyu-”

“y/n,” Jungkook said, he didn’t look nearly as intoxicated as you were, “why were you kissing him?”

“You have some balls to ask me that Jeon Jungkook,” you crossed your arms, “especially after you dry humped your dick against someone’s ass just 20 minutes ago.”

“I didn’t fuck her if that’s what you were wondering,” he said slowly getting frustrated, “we were just dancing.”

“And I was just talking with Mingyu.” you said, “I thought I told you months ago that I’m not going to do this fucking thing with you if you’re out screwing with other girls.”

Hoseok walked up to the two of you, noticing something weird going on, “Grand, Kook, everything okay?”

“Yeah, I’m just...gonna go now Grand,” you said.

“It’s barely 12:30, y/n.” He frowned, “How are you getting home? Jungkook?”

You shook your head, glancing at Jungkook who looked at you with a frown. “I’m gonna take an Uber.”

“Get home safely, grand. Okay?”

You left the club in a hurry, waiting outside as you called your Uber. It wasn’t until you were at your dorm when you burst out crying, thankful that your roommate wasn’t there for the night.

Why the fuck are you so hurt about this? Jungkook’s not your boyfriend. You’re only fuck buddies. That’s it.

You called your Big, not surprised that it went to voicemail, “-Unnie, I don’t know why I’m crying about him? Am I stupid for doing this dumb arrangement? God...I think I like him.”

---

“-I think I like him.”

Jieun sighed, leaning against the warm body that was asleep beside her. In a few moments, the figure stirred awake, arms wrapping around the girl automatically. “Good morning, gorgeous.”

“Morning.”

“something happen, Jieun?” He asked, rubbing his eyes. “I hope you’re not regretting what we did last night.”

“No, it’s just...you tell that brother of yours that I might kick his head open for making our Little cry.” she said turning in his embrace.

“Jungkook made y/n cry? For what?”

“All I can tell you Jimin, is that y/n felt upset about Jungkook flirting with another girl, and she cried about it, okay?” Jieun said, “she feels a bit sensitive since they hooked up at that one Beta Tau party.”

“She cried?” Jimin frowned, “I’ll...talk to Jungkook about it.”

[babyi]

long time ago I asked if you ever made a Dangerous Woman (album) review but long story short I didn’t find out about your opinion on each song sooo pls can I get at least a best to worst in your opinion?

Moonlight 

A+ song honestly one of the best she’s ever produced, someone asked me the other day what song I would pick if I had to listen to only one song forever and I picked this one because it’s such a love-gooey music box tinkling soft peaceful song that I could get lost in for eternity… despite being about ricky

Touch It

one of the best vocal performances live she’s ever managed, and this song really transcends to another level and takes you with it. It’s a highly emotive song and although not written by ariana max ect writers were really feelin it and I appreciate that

Leave Me Lonely

can you say underrated? this absolute ballad banger has never been done justice and it’s honestly criminal- sometimes I wish I could find a cover that sings it with the emotion it deserves, she sang it well on tour but it’s a dark gritty sing in a back alleyway with a trenchcoat and sexy cigarette lit type song and deserved a break it never got. I scream this one alone to myself all the time, that bastard ripped my heart out and deserves to be scolded, y’know?

Bad Decisions

listen, this song is junk food. it’s so bad but I can’t help but consume it. She sings about having a fucking ‘hood love’ and only just started getting the blacklash this year like its new. but anyway, like pop off to this club hit bc it’ll rot your insides but you’ll have fun all the way down 

Thinkin Bout You

sexy, masturbation song that sounds fuzzy and warm. it’s soft like the linen i imagine her to be wrapped in and no sharp corners - it’s a good study in the soft intimacy of sexual relationships, it’s one of the better songs about a relationships that isn’t just about dick in hole, and the tour visuals were stunning for it

Greedy

shoulda been the 3rd single for tour - it’s just a good basic pop song with some good unique concepts and the tour money and choreo was iconic, it was the best to watch and looked the most fun to perform. I liked this one a whole lot when it first dropped but probably because i just like good basic pop if a bit repetitive with no real substance 

Sometimes

so light and summery and airy imo. It’s got good vibes and good memories because this was the song she interacted with fans during on tour - it was all about smiles and weightlessness, which obviously is nice to reminisce about now that so much trauma has happened to bring everything down

Side To Side

way too overplayed at this point but it was much higher up my list when it first came out, i always knew this one was gonna smash as a single and it was such a good job scooter came back and pushed it hard, I think it’s another mindless pop song but obviously it went on to be such a good club hit and commercial success which is awesome 

Be Alright

I’ve been up and down with this song a lot, it’s never been my fave but i like the message and it’s meant more in the last couple of years- I like that the choreo is so iconic now and it was her best tour outfit. I like that she likes this one and keeps it up bc it’s very inoffensive to the ears, again a bit overplayed now i never really liked the big instrumentals part of it 

Into You

a lot of people’s fave, a single that almost did it. Again, never my favourite and kinda had the feeling of always a bridesmaid never a bride. It had a good mv but was woefully underpromoted which is a shame. It’s a good song and I like when it comes on now but just never fucked with it when it was around a lot - another basic song with a basic concept and basic delivery tbh 

Knew Better/Forever Boy

good concepts separately but I didn’t think they were good together, they deserved to be separate or not at all. i like the edits of these songs better than the song itself

Dangerous Woman

the reason why we never got the full ‘moonlight’ album that we deserved - it wasn’t great for her voice, severely under-utilizing it, although she makes up for that in performances of this song. It was an interesting sound experiment but none of the rest of the album it’s named after sounded like this- even if it did have some of the only instruments used on it. The mv was fine but boring, and it just didn’t deserve to be the title track, this was the inspo for the quickly dropped latex bunny persona and lots of issues, this song was the driving factor for scooter getting fired that one time ect its just got bad memories and really fucked a lot of shit up for me honestly

Let Me Love You

bad unoriginal title and the feature ruined it, the snippet we got before the album drop was just ariana’s part and the song sounded like it was gonna be soooo good, but then the rap happened. I still think ariana’s bit is good but the song turned out to be a bust, though we got some curls action in the mv which was pretty cool

Everyday

a plague on our senses, this repetitive trash really got made a single for some god awful reason, there’s nothing special about it, the mv was icky (for the blatant sex,  not the diversity that was featured) and i just didn’t ask for any of it I was so pissed when this happened, it wasn’t funny ariana 

I Don’t Care

i’ve had it out for this song since day 1 and i’ve never been able to shake it, are tlic and everyday worse songs? yes, but this remains as my least favourite song in her discography, in order to keep this sort I’ll just say that I have an essay’s worth of reasons why this song is repugnant to me from the sound of the music to the meaning of the lyrics and you can’t change my mind. this one is the worst one and i can’t help the burning rage that sparks when i think of it 

the bonus tracks i wont bother listing and commenting, neither are very good tbh not really worth the time

Your favorite Gene concert: Speedster or Mad Cyclone? Why?

Dear Anon,

 I am really sooooo incredible sorry that it took me so long to answer your question but it’s first of all a kinda quite difficult question and I really wanted to watch both concerts again to answer it properly. Thank you so much for this question. I never thought about it in this way and it was the first time that I actually watched it without being distracted by anything else.

Sooooo let’s go 😄

Speedster

It was my first Gene Live and my first Japanese Live with let’s say such dimensions (Lives of Solidem or X4 are so much smaller) and I was completely stunned. The stage was just f*cking awesome with all the streets and yeah it was the first time that I saw such a stage and it really made me speechless in the beginning. There were people everywhere, not only in front, but also on the side and in the back. I really liked how variable the middle part of the stage was with the stairs and everything. The CGI backstory about the Mad Clowns was just awesome. The Background Sound is great and I really think that they should be available on iTunes. They were really looking amazing in their Mad Clown outfits, but I also liked their „shiny“ suits which they put on before Tell me why.

The concert started with AGEHA (I won’t go into detail with every song, because then it would be a much much longer post, but you can ask me anytime…now I should be able to answer more quickly). When it started, I could really feel my pulse speeding up and it makes you dance immediately. The second song (OMG) was Evergreen. I wrote it already before and I think it’s kinda obvious that it’s my all-time favourite Gene Song. The live version is just sooo amazing because the stage is completely green and the dance sequence is longer. This song, especially the dance break, always reminds me of Hayato, so it’s kinda his song and I was totally happy when he was in the center. Fun Fact: when Ryuto turned his back to Ryota facing Yuta he made so silly faces and Yuta had to hold back his laughing. Never let you go is kinda on place 2 on my most played songs and I really love it. I liked how the guys were goofing around and it’s one of the songs I really miss during Live Performances. For Tell me why they changed the stage setting to NY and it was looking incredible good. And Ryuto hitting the high notes still causes shivers running through my spine. Their painful faces during the Rainy Room performance were so heartbreaking like aaaah….I want to hug them all. And the choreo by Yuta is just awesome. He’s such a talented choreographer so I can really imagine him doing this in the future and I really can’t wait for his lessons for EXPG Online. The Acoustic medley completely caught me off-gurad. I never thought that somebody can make me cry like this, but yeah here we have Ryuto and Ryota, who did this. The acoustic/piano version of 花 was so incredible, you really have to listen to it. I loved that the crowd was completely silent during the song (something you don’t see that often during western concerts). But this version is unbelievable great. Beyond everything. Do I really have to talk about 片想い?? Thx … dead … bye.  The Performer Showcase in short: the guys were so awesome and I really need the sound and somebody who teaches me the choreo. It always amazes me what Hayato is doing with his feet (so it’s not surprising that he needs cool bags on his legs after performances). His style is called Chicago Footwork and he’s the first Japanese performer joining them (So proud of my sunshine). His dancing style is also the reason why I am starting with street dance next semester and started with EXPG Online Studio (dying through the R.Y.U.S.E.I. choreo - but Kenjiro is doing a great job). I always have to jump when Sing it loud comes during a live. I have to sing and jump, it’s impossible not to. They also showed videos from their Generations EX Tour and sang parts of the song in English 🙂 . I didn’t like Organ Donor ~OFF DA HOOK~ in the beginning, but now OMG. It’s in the top10. The song is catchy, the choreo in the MV amazing and totally love it now. I totally love what they did with Gene’s version of Burning Up. The flags and the pyro is just wooooow. Hard Knock Days: you can really feel their energy. It’s song where you have to dance. Like sing it loud but with lots more energy. And yeah the performers minus Hayato were just rude. I fell in love with Namida from the start. I totally like their stories in the MV especially Mandy’s because yeah I’m a small girl and it was soooo cute. Also Hayato’s story was incredible cute. I like that the ending of his story was not so sad as the one of the others. So I was really excited for the live and they did an incredible job (I mean they can never disappoint me anyways).  So during the second part of Speedster they changed the setlist. The beginning of Namida was acoustic and OMG (still dead). The performance was a little bit different but still totally stunning. The Vocal acoustic medley was a little bit different this time. No piano, but they sang 片想い, Story (love this one a little bit too much), I remember and Always with you.  The Mad Show (or the Performer’s show case) was as great as expected and I am really running out of words. I really have no words left for Hayato because his performance always leaves me speechless. Alan and Reo … aaaah …. So extra 😄 Run this Town is just pure energy and power. You can really feel it when you watch it. And now we come to Pierrot … this song is just yeah I don’t know why but it always drives me nuts. The MV is just incredible and seeing it live was just OMG. The choreo is really awesome especially in the MV.

Mad Cyclone

The stage was this time a centre stage because yeah arena tour with the huge screen moving up and down and the stage was rotating during most of the performances. The stage had extensions (I’m not sure to call them like this but yeah) to both sides so the fans could enjoy it from all sides. The CGI Backstory continued from Speedster transforming them into the Mad Jesters. I totally liked the bridge to PKCZ with the laser lights in the arena and Alan’s before the DJpart. The live started with Mad Cyclone. I didn’t like it in the beginning, but now it’s such an awesome song and I get goosebumps every time I hear it. It has an incredible dance break (OMG) and every time they face each other is just wow (I guess they had lots of fun during RH 😄 ). The second song was 太陽も月も. And I think I love this song a little bit too much sometimes. It’s also the first song I hear in the morning (to kinda wake up). The choreo is awesome and during Gene High School TV you can learn it (also for AGEHA and BCR). During the dance break the performers had short solo dances and I totally loved the combination from Yuta and Hayato, because they spend so much time with each other working on their acrobatics. Seeing them doing CF together just made my heart burst 😄 And Reo and Alan next to each other with these hair styles totally look like brothers. Pierrot is my favourite MV of all (minus Evergreen) and also one of my favourite songs. The choreo is just awesome and I loved how Yuta and Hayato could show off their acrobatic skills during the performance. Cuteness overload or live performance of Togetherness. They were so cute especially Hayato, Ryota, Yuta and Alan goofing around with the camera. And aaaaaaah all the happy smiles. And yeah kinda off-topic: I really, really, really want Ryota’s leather jacket. I mean I have already the same Humanmade jacket but aaaaaaah. I really liked how Yuta was in the centre of the stage during Sound of Love  showing why he’s also in charge of chores and being all adorable with this huge smile. Yeah Make you mine or holy sh*t….ALAN…COULD YOU PLEASE NOT….PUT THAT F*CKING SHIRT ON…HAYATOOOO….NOT THAT GLANCE….REO…AAAAAAH TOTALLY SWEATY CLOSE UP…. ALAN….WHERE THE F*CK IS MY HOLY WATER…GO AWAY DEMON… So yeah that was my reaction to this performance. Also for the bridge to Stupid ～真っ赤なブレスレット～ It should be illegal to look that good. Really. I totally loved their solo dance parts during Namida while sitting on the stairs. And that’s just my opinion but Ryota’s voice improved a lot since Speedster. At least that’s what I hear and of course I can be wrong but he was incredible. Love you more in short: thx … dead … bye … They took 4 girls from the crowd, seated them on two sofas and sang for them. Ryuto must have killed them. Those girls will never be interested in anyone else. Looking at the girl while singing “I need you in my world“ would kill me. … Aaaah and the ending …. Both of them singing while facing the girls again … so cute (I would just die there). The performer showcase was called Mad Cyclone Alley this time and it was really kinda funny. Yuta with the flute, Alan with the scooter and Reo acting like the little brat he is. I am still not sure how Reo and Hayato could dance with the backbags on their backs but awesome. I really love how they all have their own style and it really kinda resembles their personalities. I still need an album for DJAlan. His remixes of Gene songs are just soooo amazing. His smiles were so cute during his part and you really see how much he enjoys it. Sing it Loud was the most amazing remix he did. He enjoyed it so much that I am pretty sure that the fans are going to enjoy a DJAlan part during United Journey 🙂 Hard Knock Days Is just aaaaaaaah. I can’t even. Especially Mandy’s rap part. He’s allowed to rap (and he’s really great) but so not allowed to sing. Reo and the skiing goggles…just too funny…but I would love to have Supreme skinning goggles…I am pretty sure I am skiing more than him 😄 During Run this town Hayato (KEEP YOUR F*CKING TONGUE WHERE IT SHOULD BE) had more time for his solo performance and OMG he’s so talented. His acrobatic skills have really improved a lot (yeah I always kinda worried about him but I know that he knows what he’s doing soooo). During the Be the one performance you could really see how incredible adorable they are. The last time I watched it I also made screenshots because it was just too funny to watch. The huge balloons in YMCA were great, but the performance was just f*cking awesome. With the rotating stage and the performers getting microphones (Hayato = pure energy - such a sunshine 😄 and Reo = little brat teasing Mandy as always). I think I talked already enough about Evergreen but in short I really love their group hug at the end of the song … just sooooooooo cute. Next was written by Ryuto and it’s also on my playlist of songs I have listen in the morning to survive the day 😄 It’s an incredible great song and I totally love the MV (It’s kinda the Making Off of Sora while they were in the US - the MV is sooooo adorable … Yuta and the alien 😄 ) During Speedster the opening was AGEHA. This time it was the ending of Mad Cyclone. I love how the taught the song during Gene High School TV and it’s soooo easy to learn. You just have to dance to this song when you hear it. It’s an amazing, catchy song and I’m already excited which song they are going to choose as opening song for United Journey (since they announced United Journey as a song on the next single I would go with this one but we will see).

Sooo as conclusion … I really can’t give a proper answer. Both Lives are amazing in their own way. It also depends a lot on my mood but let’s say 70% of the time I prefer Speedster because of the setlist, but when it comes to the stage I would 100% say Mad Cyclone. It’s completely my opinion but I prefer Speedster when it comes to cuteness (don’t ask why) and Mad Cyclone for all the uptempo songs (never been jumping around so much). The more often I watch Mad Cyclone the more I love it. So maybe if you ask me again in six months then my opinion might have changed.

CHARLI XCX ON SMAPXSMAP (AS)

Charli XCX is currently working her way around the world in promotion of her fourth studio album, ‘Radiant’ and her top five single, ‘Falling Leaves’. With millions of fans behind her, Charli has worked her way to international fame, with two platinum hits and a gold certified album. This week, she continues to heavily promote the single and album. Today, she stunned the world with an amazing performance on the popular Japanese TV show, SMAPXSMAP.

PERFORMANCE

The stage is dark and an announcer begins it with, “Please welcome our special guest. With millions of songs sold worldwide, she stands as one fot he alrgest stars int he industry. Please welcome the amazing Charli XCX!”. The camera pans to the stage as a backdrop is lit up on the stage in a green color. Then, on the screen you can see Charli’s silhouette. The sillhoutte grows bigger and bigger and then finally, a huge cloud of smoke appears on stage, and Charli appears in the middle of it. The lights flash all types of vibrant colors, and ‘Falling Leaves begins to play. The song begins and dancers come join Charli on stage. The screen begins to show a variety of trees, that seem to sway in the wind. Charli sings the first verse with power and meaning, and the second verse the same. While she sings, she has a microphone stand infront of her that she sings into. The two verses end and Charli takes the microphone and the stand falls into the ground. The chorus hits and screen starts to flash the trees into many difference colors, as it begins a pattern that goes in a vertical direction across the screen. The dancers surround Charli and she is raised onto a platform into the middle of the stage. When the chorus ends, the platform opens in the middle and Charli falls through where no one can see her. The instrumental cuts and smoke fills the stage. Then, the fog clears and there stands Belinda, her return to the stage. She sings her first verse in complete a capella, to show off her voice and really pout emphasis on her. Her second verse comes around and the instrumental starts back up and the platform goes down. She steps off of it once it’s on the ground,  the dancers make her a doorway. She steps out and sings the fourth verse with the same power. The chorus erupts and the Belinda steps to the side of the stage, and Charli comes from under the stage on the other side. The two come together and the dancers do some amazing choreography around them. They finish the bridge as the lights surround them, and the screen shows the tree slowly dying as it breaks into red particles and red lights match Charli’s red outfit she rocks.Then the stage goes silent as the song ends the stage goes black.

Now, it is time for Charli’s second performance, for a song off her album called ‘Electrify’, rumored to be her next single. The transition only takes 5 seconds, and now the stage is just one skyscraper, or atleast looks like one, but’s just a screen. Charli can be seen going through each floor, where she sings the beginning verses of te song. When the chorus hits, she hits the top of the building, and she says the line “Electrify me” a lightning bolt comes down (a fake one) and hits her. She gets attached to some cables, and falls down to the ground. The skyscraper becomes a black box where the lyrics will show up for the rest of the chorus, and then the building is taken down into the floor, and dancers surround her this time. She finishes the next couple verses with some choreo, on a simple stage. The final chorus finally arrives, and multiple buildings come up this time form the floor, and dancers come out from each door. When she says the final line, a bolt of lightning hits her, and she fall, as her dancers surround her. The announcer comes out from the stage and as Charli is taken off stage, he says “Give it up for Charli XCX and Belinda! You can get both ‘Falling leaves’ and ‘Electrify’ on iTunes now, which are off Charli’s new album, ‘Radiant’.

INTERVIEW

ON HER PERFORMANCE

That was amazing, thank you for having me! I had such a blast performing. That was one of my most complex performances, and I was so glad I was able to do something like that. The crew here is just phenomenal, and I am so thankful. I still get such a rush performing ‘Falling Leaves’, and I was so glad to be able to perform ‘Electrify’ for the first time ever! Having Belinda making her return was just amazing, and I am glad I was there to witness it.

ON HER SONG ‘FALLING LEAVES’

Performing it around the world has just been amazing and as I said, I’m so glad to be back here. I love the song because it just shows such a new edge to me and my music and the fact that people are still loving the song is just so inspiring for me. It’s been amazing to have the song with Belinda, and basically follow her on this journey, and now that’s better than ever, it’s just amazing. I’m so happy to see the song still in the top 5 here, and the support from Asia, is overwhelming, I loev you all.

ON HER ALBUM ‘RADIANT’

I never thought that the music I made this era would EVER be this popular, and I was proved wrong. It has sold over 700K copies and it just blows my mind. It’s so nice to see this new and unique music hat I make being accepted universally. I am so happy to have this amount of support. and I feel like this is only the beginning for me. This album meant so much to me and now to see be out for awhile now and have so many people connect and understand it has been so heartwarming and I couldn’t be more thankful.

ON HER SONG ‘ELECTRIFY’

One of my favorite songs on the record right now, and I’m so glad to perform it here. You guys had such a stellar set for me, and I feel like it was one of my bets performances ever. The song is about a love that fuels almost to a point where you feel electricity in your bones. I had a lover and he was such a short lived relationship, but I was so awestruck, it was almost like electricity.

Rags To Riches Ball Part II: Best Personal Drag

In the final category, the girls have one last chance to prove to us that they are the winner of Tumblr’s Drag Race Cycle 9, decked out in their best personal drag and lipsynching to a mix or song they’ve chosen themselves!

Analyse Thropic

Lila:  HOLY SASHA VELOUR’S PROJECTOR. I love that you outright became a gold star in this category, and the reveal is honestly well crafted for how much sewing experience you have in this competition. Honestly - this is another really strong concept and It’s absolutely brilliant. I do have doubts - your makeup is a bit ehhh in tandem to pigmentation in your crease and the lack of contour is kind of throwing me off - however, holy shit. HOLYY SHIT. Your references to past challenges on your dress in motifs are really cute, and the fact that you look like you are a queen on your own accord in this BPD is just astonishing. Your lipsync is honestly on par with some of the best of them in the finale - I adore the ones that aren’t afraid to have a visual to it rather than a plain old background or generic setting, and by god, it was just expertly handled. You should have at least had more white backgrounds like Sasha Velour does because it sometimes lost you in the backgrounds. Without that, your work in this lipsync is absolutely stunning, and really your lipsynching skill has developed a hell of a lot - a lot of people forget it’s something queens need to be skilled in, however, you’ve pushed it to the max this category!

Letha: Analyse, I love how you really embraced being a bald queen for your BPD. I know that sounds like a read, but it really and truly does show your utter commitment to this cycle and to your drag, and to come out, gilded for filth, no wig, with a damn crown already on your head, well that takes guts. The outfit itself is cute, and shows so much thought to hearken back to your past work during your time here. The reveal is also great. Watch the top of the pink version though, as you had some bra poking out. Makeup is cool, you do lose some definition by being so metallic, but the stones are fab (If I were you I would have done just the rhinestones and not the pearls, as they make more sense with the look). Now, on to the lipsync. Art. It was so good, the concept was so strong and though it is something we have seen from other queens (including TDR queens), it's a great workaround to the "no editing" rule and you really made it your own. There are a few places where you kind of lose you/the words because you're standing in the dark, but I can forgive that as there is so much going on on the screen in the first place. You have every confidence in you/your work, and it showed with that performance. Fantastic work, Analyse, well done. 

Toni:I LOVE LOVE LVOE LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS LOOK. I love things that a sentimental and it was is just so perfect that you did a little dress with appliques that paid homage to your challneges only to 2in1 to a redo of your audition look. I love that you wanted to do a crown like violets where its in the head, but I do think that could have been done a bit smoother. Your makeup is so cool and so outside of the box for you and I am so glad that you keep pushing yourself even here at the end. I love this lipsync, I think it was so inspiring and well done, with a great mixture of medias and lipsyncs. I think my only issue with it was at some points it was hard to see your lips and would have done with a few more test runs. 

Gluttoni:  Not only one but TWO WHOLE LOOKS! You went off girly. Number Uno A gurl…..you know I’m partial to bald bitch so I love the choice to be bald in this literal golden hour of yours. Then you figured out the golden paint and I’m so proud! You look like an award. I love that you stuck to your brand of you A motif and it very well suited for this so. Both looks really scream you and honestly I couldn’t be more proud so good work. Your lipsync was by far the best and you fucking know it. Great song choices and an overall great look.

Avana Noir

Lila: ICHI KAWAII DESU! Avana, I knew you’d pull out your Harajuku style and flavour right at the end in full force, and as it’s been nice to see glimpses of that in your works, in it’s full head to toe-ness, this is one of the best outfits you’ve done by far. This screams Avana Noir and the colour palette is so cute and - ugh, it’s so fun. Really, only issue is that I wanted to see two ponytails on top of your pink wig - it would’ve sold the Madoka Magicka a little bit more in my opinion. Your lipsync was really adorable and exciting to watch. You did drop some of your words, but forgivable since most of your song choices were full K/J-Pop anthems. You were backlit a lot during your performance, maybe take into consideration when you film, whether or not you have a ring light or some form of light that helps add a little bit more to your frontal lighting. One major thing I’ll give you props for is the Chloe Howl-stylistic camera work in this - down to the consistent movement to your points where you do more group choreo - really commend you for doing that, it shows you’re moving out of the box with how you present your drag style. Great job in this category, you did super well!

Letha: Avana-desu!!!!! This look really does scream you, and it's super cute. Not a lot of shape 'round the middle, but it's not bad. The bow is cute, and the hair works (be careful of the boy hair poking out, a wig cap would help conceal the color), but I would suggest even a little petite pink nail for the look, especially if you are posing with your hands. The makeup is great, a bottom lash might have helped amp up the cute/lolita factor more. As for the lipsync, it cut off at the end which threw me a bit, but what is there is great. I like the mix of the hip/hop with the kawaii, it screams you, and I love the group choreo (though I wish there had been some more coordination of looks, even plain pink T shirts with jeans would have worked). There are some dropped words, as well, with a mix as short as this one you really should be nailing ALL of them. All in all though, it's still a really good submission, good job!

Toni: YES THIS IS WHO AVANA IS. I love this so much, its so well made and so flattering on you. I think the colors are really nice, you could have used more variations on pink but that may just be a personal preference. I think you also could have had the little poncho be 2 inches longer and it would have been perfect!!! The makeup is so much better!! I’m so proud of how your makeup has grown over this cycle. Your wig was nice but there were points when I saw your boy hair.  The lip-sync was very on brand for you and I think it was your best one this cycle I really enjoyed it. I do wish that it was longer because the group choreo, the way it was film? Art ART. I also would have liked a softer ending. more 

Gluttoni: AVANA. This is the best you’ve ever looked in my humble opinion. You look beyond adorable and I’m glad this is your best drag because you came full circle from your Japanese donut hole look. I LOVE PINK and you gave me that and more. I hope we see more looks like this from you in the future. Honestly keep on this track because you look super stunning and precious.  I loved your final lip-sync. The beginning song needs to be mine and you fucking slayed with the K-Pop or J-Pop dance break. My only issue with anything that it was so short.

Lexi Lamour

Lila:  Your best personal drag, to me - well, I’ll be outright. It’s not your best look for me. You’ve done so many head turning looks this cycle that it almost makes me a bit sad that you didn’t save the one catsuit you wore last week for you music challenge for this category this week. But, anyways - this is still a stellar look. The hair is so big and fun and with this look it’s really cohesive. I don’t have much to critique honestly, it’s such a Lexi staple. Your lipsync was cute, it was very Lexi and I love a mix. You have such a great performing energy and at last we get to see it again. Great job in this category!

Letha:  Lexi, this look is giving me "Oh, she's about to turn some shit". It's very club drag, and while I'm not sure it's YOUR personal best, it's still a great look and one you can perform the house down in. And honestly the only crit I can find for it is that maybe a black boot would work better to contrast? The hair is fantastic, it has great volume and is perfect for whipping around. The makeup is also really good, especially the eyes/lips, but the cheeks could use a bit more blush, as you look kind of washed out. The lipsync was also really good, the mix had some very classic drag staples, and you performed them well. A few words were dropped though, and I could tell you were constrained by the space you were in and wanted to buck/twirl a bit more than the area allowed for. That being said though, this was some STRONG work, and you really served it!

Toni: Lexi!! This lipsync was so fucking cute and I really enjoyed it because I think you are the dancing queen this cycle. I do wish you had more space to really stunt on us all because every time I think you are gonna reach the edge and jump off and slay me it backs up a bit and I’m left wanting more in the worse way. I think this look is really cute on you and I really love it but I do think it’s a bit lacking from what we’ve seen from you. I think it just comes off as “just a body suit” when you’ve done body suits before its been LOOKS like your pokemon or the black one from last week. I think your makeup is flawless and I really love it, as well as this hair. 

Gluttoni: Lexi. I must say this isn’t what I quite expected and while I’m not mad at it, I can’t say this says I’m here to take it all. No doubt you look quite gorgeous. I love the choice of color and silhouette because it’s different but for some reason I’m just a bit underwhelmed. This does not mean you aren’t a killer queen with amazing taste because the score board only proves that fact. The lip-sync was good. You have a stellar amount of stage presence and out of all the girls the most chops when it comes to performing live which I’m sure you have a long, long future of blazing stages. All the best to you my love, please keep shining bright.

Sugar Monroe

Lila:  Your BPD is P--P---Pretty damn cute! I think it reads as you, very Sugar, I get a candy vibe from it and I’m loving the change in your makeup to make it very punk-grunge which we all know you like to dabble in! I *do* get a little nervous with that empire waist again, but the variation you’ve put on it saves it. You make everything you wear outfit-wise, which I commend you for. The only thing I would watch out for is the black on a black background, just because you’re blending in with it - if you used a different background it would’ve worked a lot better in my opinion. Your lipsync was cute, but I mean we’ve all saw you do super well in lipsyncs, as well as you winning one of your own lipsyncs yourself. This was a little more controlled than usual, there was very little choreo that really sold your intentions during Bubblegum Bitch, and then your second song picked up the pace a little. I was more intrigued in the second half than the first half, but either way, I digress. It was super fun to watch!

Letha: Sugar Monroe!!! On one hand, this look really does scream "Sugarrrrr", but on the other, I wish it had been pushed farther. The contrast of the blue/pink with the black was great (though idk about it on the black background, sometimes it made it look like there was a hole in your body), but I wanted the edginess of the makeup (which is great, by the way) to extend into the rest of the look. It's just a bit too clean right now. I see some burns on the skirt, but I wanted TEARS, holes, even some dirt or grime. A bit more Mad Max. Also, I do love me a gathered skirt, but pleats up top could be covered with a band across the top, it just makes it look more finished. Your lipsync mix was very cute, and the songs make a lot of sense with your character (the transitions could use a little smoothing out though). You drop some words, but you're still an amazing performer and have great presence. Good job on this category for sure!

Toni: I love watching you lipsync and this was a joy as always. I think this is very on par for you and I really enjoyed it. I think you were giving 90% on this lipsync and I wanted to see 110%. The mix was well done as well. The look was really cute, very on par for you with the skater skirt. I think when we talked you were gonna make it really grunge and mad max, but then pulled it back to burned and tore up and it doesn’t look like you really pushed that, which is disappointing because that would have been the t for me. I think your makeup and hair look beautiful and it’s so nice to see that. love it–A��h

My KCON experience!!!!

I just got home and I wanted to write down everything while it’s still fresh in my memory so pls prepare for a very long very screaming account of today’s amazing events ;___; (I’ll post the pics and videos I got soon!!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

so my mom and I drove together (she didn’t want me to go alone bc none of my irl friends like kpop lol rip s/o to my mom for being the coolest ever!!!), and we got to the venue at around 11:30ish. I wanted to get there earlier bc i was really paranoid about not getting an audience pass for astro ;___; we went to get our wristbands and stuff and our concert ticket barcodes ended up showing as invalid ?? ?! even tho we bought them from the official website ;~; so we had to get our tickets validated at staples center and then walk back to get our audience passes. after getting that sorted, I opened my passes and got Heize and Oh My Girl, both of which had already been completed :((( but as I was standing to the side trying to figure out if I could get passes off facebook, I overheard this group of ppl opening their audience passes and they were like “who did u get???” “uh... astro....” “me too....i don’t rly know them” and i was like HI HELLO DO U WANT THOSE BC IF NOT IM LOOKING FOR 2 PASSES FOR ASTRO NO PRESSURE THO and they were like “uhhh yeah sure” AND I GOT 2 AUDIENCE PASSES FOR FREE HOW LUCKY IS THAT !!!!! ! 😭😭 bless those ppl i hope they got hi touch or something lol they saved me like an hour of hunting for passes

after that we checked the room where fan engagements are held to see if there was a line for astro and there was already a crowd of like 60ish ppl there like 2 hours before the event and i was like fuk!!!!! but also it’s so nice to see fellow astro fans supporting our bois!! c: there were actually so many astro fans at the con i was so happy!! so we got in line and chilled and there were some rly cool fans handing out free astro banners with their own digital art, and one person was passing out these nice quality pics of the boys and asking “who’s ur bias??” and then just giving them out for free?? arohas are so nice ??? ???

then after we got into the room, i was like 3 rows from the very front of the audience barrier, but the hi touch ppl were way closer than us rip i was so jealous ;~; when the boys walked on i LOST MY FUKCING SHIT AS EXPECTED and OH YM GOD LET ME TELL U HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE! !!!!!! they all had on very crisp clean button ups and slacks and they looked SO FRESH omg 

jinjin’s hair was so beautiful and smooth and he looked extra tiny today!!!!! i LOVE mj’s current hair color on him it looks so pretty and he also looked tiny af I LOVE!!!! sanha is SO FREAKING TALL like he absolutely towers over the hyungs lmaooooo but he’s also the CUTEST BAB his hair was slightly messy and very beautiful i cryyyy and rocky looked SO GOOD with his hair color!! it’s actually a lot more subtle irl than in the pics he posted recently :’) it’s like a very gentle auburn-burgundyish kinda color, and a little more brown than mj’s hair!

and eunwoo!!!! oh my god he is absolutely prince charming irl, even more so than in videos and pics like HOLY SHIT he is so stunning!!!! he was wearing this beautiful white button up and his brown hair makes him look EVEN MORE PRINCELY like i could not believe my eyes and when he hits u with THAT EYE SMILE u are deceased on the spot!!!!!!! he is a very beautiful dork and i love him!!! AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON BINNIE LIKE I THOUGHT I LOVED HIM A LOT BEFORE TODAY?? ??? WHTA THE FUCK ???? he is genuinely the most handsome and attractive person i have EVER seen like i was blown away by his natural charm, hes just SO DAMN CHARISMATIC IRL like if u dont stan bin before u see him irl.. ..u do afterwards lmao like he’s UNREAL ;__; he was wearing a bluish black button up with the tucked in and puffy look which I LOVE and some very well fitting slacks 👀 HES FINE AS FUCK YALL I RLY CANT EVEN EXPRESS HIS BEAUTY RN LIKE GOD DAMN!!! MY IDEAL MAN!!!! i was looking at all the bois but i kept going back to him like i honestly couldnt take my eyes off him he is so gorgeous!!!!

the Q&A session was CUTE AF but i couldnt hear them over the screams ;____; also ppl were sticking their phones in the air all over the place so my view was partially blocked sometimes but i got some lil viewing windows most of the time :D after the general questions from the mc they played this dice roll game where they have to do whatever action corresponds to the number they rolled! they did “switch parts” if i remember correctly, they sang confession and FUCKING JINJIN SANG I HEARD HIS BEAUTIFUL VOICE IRL I WAS DYING HE SOUNDED SO LOVELY!!!!!!!!!!!! (@FANTAGIO LET MY BOI SING!!!!) ALSO ROCKY SANG AND I LOST MY MIND HE WAS SO AMAZING AS WELL!!!! sanha, eunwoo, and mj sang their fave pop songs and they were SO GOOD as usual!!! 💞💞 ALSO EUNWOO RAPPED HE WAS SO CUTE

ok and here’s the part that literally killed me: THE SEXY DANCE WHAT THE FUUKCJKEJGHDJ I WAS ON FIRE!!!!!!! rocky’s dance was SO DAMN GOOD and i was like FUUUUUUUUCK ok that was amazing and then the bois were like “binnie u do it!!” and i was like GOD.. ..IF UR OUT THERE,,, ,,, MAKE IT HAPPEN and then not only bin but jinjin too! !!! BICH!!!! THEY ENDED ME RIGHT THEN AND THERE I CANT BELIEVE I SAW BIN DOING HIP THRUSTS IRL LIKE ?????? PLS WATCH THE FANCAM OF IT IF U HAVENT, IT WILL SAVE UR LIFE OK

so after the sexy dance i was in a state of euphoria ofc, and i remember them rolling aegyo on the dice and they were like “SANHA DO IT” and he was SO PRECIOUS I LOVE HIM he did the arm cross thing with a lil head shake and rocky joined him too!!!! god bless!!!!!!

during hi touch i just continued to bask in the boys’ presence hahah and i noticed they were doing mostly single handed high fives instead of the usual two hand high five/hand hold that they normally do :c but they all looked so cute and happy and smiley!!!! it made my heart so happy!!!!

after hi touch we took a group selfie with the boys (which i am definitely invisible in lmaooo) and then after leaving the room i was like “ah i heard they’ll be at the toyota booth at some point today i better go find out what time” and right as im walking to the booth i see a group of well dressed guys walking on the 2nd floor above me and im like “no way they beat us here” and then i saw a tall bean with white hair and i was like SANHAAAAAAA and they had just gotten to the toyota booth right as i got there!!!! a crowd had already formed but I got a decent view, and they were doing some more q&a that i couldn’t hear lmao but I was so happy that i got to see them again!!!!

when they left I walked around the marketplace and bought a dream part 1 poster (the one where they’re all in white dress shirts lookin cute af) and a poster of sleepy autumn story bin bc im WEAK and I LOVE MY BOIS

then i just hung around the food trucks area until we got to enter the concert venue, and my seats were pretty good!!! they weren’t GA or lowest tier, but i was decently close and i had a clear view of the stage like 95% of the time blesssss

first up was KARD and they were pretty good! their songs are not rly my style but they’re very talented and they look like a hardworking group!!! :D also they are all hot hahah

after that was Oh My Girl, and they were also good! again, their songs are not usually what i like but they were SUPER CUTE and charming!!

then Heize played!! I LOVE HEIZE OMG shes so pretty and her voice is beautiful!! i also love her style and her songs are so soothing/fun to listen to!! she asked us to turn on our phone flashlights while she performed Star and she started tearing up before she started singing and i was like NOOOOO BABY she almost made me cry ;~; anyways YES I LOVE HEIZE U SHOULD LISTEN TO HER IF U HAVENT YET

i had only rly listened to Energetic and I only knew ong seongwu before seeing wanna one, but HOLY SHIT they blew me away!!!!! i was really impressed by their choreo and they’re really great performers! their songs are catchy af damn!! AND ALL THE MEMBERS ARE CUTE like daniel?? ??? hot as fuck???? he had on this earring and im like damn?? what is this guy doing to me lmaooo

i hadn’t listened to any NCT 127 besides cherry bomb and I thought it was an okayish song, but again i was SO IMPRESSED by their performance!!! they were so on point for choreo, other theatrics, visuals, etc!!!! honestly i feel like all kpop groups are like 100000x better live bc of the choreo and atmosphere!! and there was a guy with light pink hair who was HOT AS FUKC i need to find him omg (taeyong? yeah hes fine as hell hahahah) also the bass in the staples center is SO INTENSE like my entire soul vibrated during cherry bomb lmao

GOT7 were great performers too but after hearing about the jaebum stuff im like 😒😒 also they give me a very arrogant vibe and im like eeeghhhh (sry to any GOT7 stans 😷) bambam looked cute tho shhhh

okay onto ASTROOOOOO so they first came on stage with Kim Tae Woo (who i don’t know at all rip sry ;__;) and they were wearing white/baby blue suits and they looked SO CUUUUTE they were covering Kim Tae Woo’s songs i think? and they did some CUTE AF CHOREO PLS WATCH THE LIVE STREAM TO SEE IT IT’S AMAZING

and then in the next song THEY ALL RAPPED AND I DIED LIKE U NEEED TO HEAR SANHA RAPPING IT IS THE ABSOLUTE CUTEST HES JUST A SOFT BAB HE DID SO GREAT

after doing 2 cover songs they LEFT THE STAGE and i was like THE FUKC!!!! but then i was like oh wait they’re definitely coming out later too lmao

BUT NOTHING COULDVE PREPARED ME FOR THEIR 2ND SET LIKE HOOOOOO MY GOD OOOOOOOOO M GYGOD THEY OPENED WITH JINJIN !!!!! DANCING!!!!!!!!! HE WAS GODLY AND THEN ROCKY!!!!! DANCED TOO!!!!!!! AND THEN THEY DANCED TOGETHER AND I WENT TO HEAVEN

THEIR OUTFITS WERE SOOOOO GOOOOOD they were all wearing tight black pants and eunwoo and sanha had on white graphic tees with black blazers and jinjin had a nice black striped dress shirt and mj had this super cool black and white jacket and ROCKY??? HAD A BEAUTIFUL WHITE DRESS SHIRT THAT HE SWEATED COMPLETELY THRU AND U COULD SEE HIS CHEST AASHSHJSFHSJ

BIN WAS ON ANOTHER PLANE OF BEAUTY LIKE WHAT THE FUCK!!! HE HAD A BLACK GRAPHIC TEE AND A GORGEOUS BROWNISH BURGUNDY SATIN(?) JACKET OVER AND HE LOOKED SO FUCKING AMAZING HOOOO MAN

when i first saw these outfits i was like CONCEPT CHANGE ???? DARK ASTRO ??? ? so we’ll see what happens omg but DAMN the more mature look suits them so well and as much as i love their cute style i 10000% support this more dark look like hnnnn yes

the first song they performed was AGAIN AKA THE SONG OF MY DREAMS THE CHOREO OF MY LIFE and it was EVERYTHING to see it performed live!!!!!! and in those outfits??? i was LIVING oh my god and i got to see bin and rocky do the pirouette flippy thing and it was SO AWESOME

they did their mentions next and they were so cute!!!! also rocky kept jumping and dancing around everywhere hes the lov of my life ;__; then they were like “we have a special surprise! we’re going to play.... pinata!!” but eunwoo pronounced it PEEN-uh-ta and i was like omg what is that...and then i figured it out when it came up on the screen LMAO EUNWOO IS SO CUTE

it was another randomized game to decide what activity to do and they got “fan gifts” so they all had 1 min to decorate a tshirt to give away, and they also gave away some other signed merch!! then sanha was like “we gave the shirts to the ppl in the front bc we can’t reach u up there, but we want to give u shirts too!!” and they brought out TSHIRT CANNONS HAHAH but they only shot as far as the lowest tier boooo :c

then they performed a shortened version of breathless and IT WAS AMAZING TO WITNESS EUNWOO CARRYING MJ IRL AAAAAAAA also it was kinda funny watching them perform a super cute poppy song in their current wardrobe lmaooo

then they did a bit of polaris and i was like EEEEYYYYYY and then they did baby!!!!!! the baby choreo is SO GOOD and it’s so amazing to see them do choreo irl bc u can really focus on them and see their talent and hard work come to life!!!!! I LVOE THEM SO MUCH AND I AM SO PROUD!!!! THEY ARE SO TALENTED AND THEYVE COME SO FAR I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE IN STORE FOR US 💕💕💕💕💕💕
