[lord-of-cactus]

A LIFE SERIES X GENSHIN AU?!?!?! TWO OF MY MAJOR FANDOMS AT THE MOMENT??? AN IDEA I'VE PONDERED OVER MYSELF ON OCCASION?!?!?! YES PLEASE!!!!!

I'd LOVE to know your thoughts on who has what visions and/or weapon classes!!! Or, if there's plot to this au, I'd definitely find that interesting too!!! Basically, whatever you want to share, I'm excited to hear about! (Your piece of Jimmy receiving his vision is so cool btw!!!)

There's some vague plot-talk under the cut, not too many spoilers tho! I have no much planned and there's way too much I have drafted to spoil in one post anyways 😭

It doesn't take Genshin lore 100% straight, there are some plot points, characters, and events that are changed/straight up don't exist to make the story flow better and make more sense (also Genshin is extensive as HELL and there are virtually a million things going on at the same time).

While the plot is about the Evo group as a whole, the story itself mainly follows Jimmy, as he and Lizzy work to become harbingers. Why are they fatui? How are the main 5 from Snezhnaya yet the plot takes place in present-day Tevat? How did they get there? Why aren't they together? These are all questions that'll be answered through the fic or as I update on my silly little blog :) !

(And to not hype you up too much, I AM A BAD WRITER! TERRIBLE EVEN! Ive written 1 chapter already but I'm still trying to find a beta-reader cause I'm too nervous to post it 😭)

I'm intrigued to knowing what type of music genre they all listen to, but we all know alcina likes jazz. But other than jazz, does she likes something else? 👀

Also, what type of music does Miranda even listen to? OMMGGG???

Miranda has two things she listens to. Publicly she listens to classical and like world recognized musicians. In private she listens to 80s-90s pop and yes I'm sorry to tell you she listens to Taylor Swift

She actually really likes Linkin Park

Donna likes listening to Michael Buble and Christina Perri too, people with soft voices that can be calming and as previously mentioned Mitski and Alt Rock

Cinder

for bela, she likes classical because she uses it to help her study, but she likes to a lot of angrier classical music like Dance of the Knights by Prokofiev

cassandra listens to a lot of musicals (heathers candy store is her number one song….for reasons, but she also likes cell block tango from chicago)

daniela likes listening to indie rock, old school rock, lo-fi for calmer moments when she wants to relax, but mostly she'll listen to everything, even angie's awful dj mixes

angie likes music that gets her hyper- think edm, house, rave, techno, pop music or remixes of popular songs. she hates classical because she thinks it's boring, and she also hates slow songs

alcina is mainly jazz, but she does on the occasion indulge in some swing and is surprised to find she doesn't mind electro swing but would never admit this to anyone or be caught dead listening to it

riz gukgak headcanon: boy can dance, but only to electronic and swing music.

the bad kids once asked riz at a party if he would dance with everyone and he says he doesn't know how. cause yeah, he doesn't know how to tango or waltz. he sure as hell doesn't know how do dance like people do in clubs.

but he grew up listening to jazz and swing, sklonda would always put it on when she needed the focus and energy. so riz gets used to having electro swing playing in the background to save himself from silence while he works.

the first time the bad kids see riz dance, he has no idea they're there. they were coming around to his office to talk about new clues in a case only to walk in and find him absolutely cutting a goddamn rug.

riz moves sharp and swift, just like he fights. it's forceful and full of energy. none of them speak when met with the sight of riz jumping and spinning around his office until he turns on his heel and spots the group in the doorway.

(tldr: I was listening to caravan palace and thought "mm yes, riz can dance to this and only this")

[top-the-cat]

I don’t know why (it’s probably the mafia aesthetic and the fact that I’ve been listening to classical music a lot lately) but Octavinelle gives me such tango vibes.

Yes!!!! I also think jazz and electro swing fit Octavinelle's aesthetic very well. orz if Azul doesn't have at least one electro swing night at the Mostro Lounge, can he even call himself the merchant of the depths?

K-pop Discography Deep Dives: Sunmi

A Disclaimer: I was planning, when I first started Tumblr, to be a lurker, but then I began an office job and needed something to listen to to keep myself occupied. And then, I started going through entire K-pop groups’ repertoires, album by album, and jotting down my thoughts. And then, I stumbled into K-pop tumblr and decided, you know what, there’s at least four people on this hell site who would read in depth rants about these discographies and at least five who wouldn’t read it and then get mad because it’s kind of our job as K-pop fans. My lukewarm takes should be taken with an entire silo of salt and the knowledge that this is completely for fun and occupying my very bored, very neurodivergent brain. All this to say, for the love of god, I’m a sleep-deprived student and I don’t have time for internet hate, so don’t kill me. With that being said, enjoy!

So, since I’ll probably be tackling some groups with large discographies, both now and in the future, I thought it’d be good to shine lights on some smaller groups and soloists who either aren’t as popular and/or have much smaller repertoires, so that’s what we’re doing today! These are going to be a lot more chill than my deep dives because they’re really more of a fun break than anything else.

Here are my credentials: I’m totally a fan of Sunmi and consider her one of my favorite soloists, her songs are some of my most-loved in k-pop, and I admire her singing, dancing, and bass playing skills and the amount that she's had to go through. I wouldn’t quite call myself a Miya-ne, but I’m probably on the cusp of it and I’ve got a feeling that this deep dive will turn me into one.

Sunmi debuted with 24 Hours in 2014, and right away it sounds like the beginnings of the idea of “Sunmi-pop”, but just not quite as sharp yet. It feels very 2nd gen, with the beat, styling, choreo, and breathlessness of the vocals, which makes sense as she’d just come off the heels of Wonder Girls’ biggest hits. Even though it’s not a favorite of mine, I did like it and I especially loved the tango-esque slowdown in the bridge, even though the transition back to usual was a little clunky.

Full Moon’s bluesy guitar surprised me right out of the gate, and the song’s slower tempo did too. Sunmi’s voice sounds a bit more similar to what I’m used to but still not quite there yet. Its off kilter feeling and sharpness through the electro beat are more flags pointing towards Sunmi’s later work but still not quite there yet. I like this one too, more than 24 hours, but still not as much as the instant classics I know are coming.

My hidden gem from the first EP, Full Moon, is definitely Who Am I?. It’s unlike other k-pop songs I’ve heard, to be quite honest. From the first beat, it slinks along with a tense, almost minimalistic drum & bass before letting her voice almost snap back like a rubber band in the choruses. The only part I don’t like as much is the rap, which I personally don’t think needed to be there and the song could’ve been much stronger with an excellent bridge.

Sunmi’s voice is another of my favorite k-pop voices, and, like Woosung’s, it’s because it’s not a “typical” k-pop voice. For starters, it’s a bit lower, but also feels sharper and almost more defined in a way. It sounds like the voice of a confident, adult woman, not a kid’s that’s intentionally pitched higher, and because of that and the emotion it carries, it makes her songs feel so genuine and honest. Added to that is the fact that she’s credited as a writer on all of her songs, and after her 2nd EP, she’s written every song herself and was involved in composing most of them too, and you can see how “Sunmi-pop” has become something of its own genre.

Gashina is the first part of Sunmi’s unofficial trilogy of songs, and the song that catapulted her to success. I think, to be honest, that the intense popularity of it means that no matter if it was the best song I’d ever heard, I would have been slightly disappointed on first listen, which is no fault of Sunmi’s. I do like this song, and it’s the first single of hers that, even if I’d never heard it before, I would immediately associate it with her. It’s got that electro base, strange tempo, very specific vocals, defiance, a hint of her trademark cynicism, and a bizarre kind of humor that is very, very Sunmi. The music video too feels so unmistakably her that I can’t help but smile, and it even got a few chuckles out of me.

Heroine is the second part of the trilogy, and the first song of Sunmi’s that I ever loved. It’s on my K-pop Top 25 (which at this point should be a post of its own from how many times I’ve mentioned it), and it’s also probably the reason that I’m not as head-over-heels for Gashina as other people are, because I think Heroine is her best song. Like her 10 out of her 10’s, it doesn’t let a single moment go to waste, and even when it seems to slow down, it’s only to set up the juggernaut of a chorus about to smack you in the face. In the hands of a lesser performer, it could easily become one dimensional, but the song surges forward with such a raw, almost desperate energy, and consistently makes you feel breathless with its sharp near-anguish. But the part that makes it so great isn’t any of its loudness. Instead, it’s a deep sigh, and the quiet, simple, “The show must go on. You must go on.” Phew. Gets me everytime.

Siren is the third part of the trilogy, and even comes with an accompanying EP. Its alarm and slightly softer opening is immediately at odds with the warning in the lyrics, and the two finally clash together in the angrier chorus which starts with the “Get away, out of my face.” The song is like a Siren itself: entrancing, bizarre, unique, and overall dangerous to stand too close to. It feels like floating, almost otherworldly compared to the humanity of the first two. I like this one too, not as much as Heroine but more than Gashina.

From Warning, it was so hard to pick a hidden gem, because I liked them all! I like the choppiness (and the intensely queer vibes) of Curve, the address of fame in Addict, and the sweet lyrics and mellow sound of Secret Tape (about her friendship with Red Velvet’s Seulgi). My favorite is probably Black Pearl, though. Its sleek citypop vibes are immaculate, and I first heard it through her performance of it with a saxophone and a live band. Its lyrics are about opening yourself up to love, even when you think someone could never love your darkest parts.

All in all, this EP is incredibly consistent in its tone and questioning of love and fame, and yet also experimental through different genres, which is not easy to do in only five songs, especially when two of them are under two minutes. Sunmi doesn’t really do EPs, instead usually sticking to singles, and because of this, she never has songs that feel like filler. She doesn’t actually have very many songs, but like with (G)I-DLE, each feels important to her and worthy of their place on an album.

Noir embraces the minimalist beat in its verses and only slightly adds to it in the choruses, throwing convention to the wind and fully embracing its bizarreness in the visuals and the song itself, both a biting critique of the fakeness of social media and an expression of Sunmi’s own mental health issues following her Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis. It’s satire, but also genuinely scary how blase the entire song is, and it’s just so utterly strange that it’s impossible to look away, which is perhaps the whole point. Like many of Sunmi’s songs, you (like me) may not like it on first listen but something about it will stick with you for a while after.

LALALAY takes a slight departure from Sunmi’s usual sound with its Latin Pop inspired beat and brass horns in the post-chorus, but its sharp lyrics about the difference between Sunmi the person and her performer persona and the sarcastic tone she takes with the whole thing mark it as still very much her. I confess I like the synthpop songs better, but I do enjoy the new direction she took this in; I only wish she took it farther and had more of a cathartic point in the chorus, because in such a tight discography, this one doesn’t stand up to the others. The song in Korean is actually called “Nalari”, which is a term meaning people who try to act cool by partying, drinking, smoking, etc, and she’s backed up with a taepyeongso, a traditional Korean instrument, which is context that’s unfortunately missing from the English translation.

Pporappippam begins with a flighty flute, chiming bells, and some gentle violins. Right from the outset, it’s another song that doesn’t slow down, albeit in a much smoother and prettier way than Heroine. Pporappippam means “purple night” in Korean, and the song is actually a pretty straightforward love song, which is unusual for Sunmi, but she’s an expert at making songs that both try something new and still feel very “her”. Similarly to Gashina, I feel like people overrating this song made me like it less than I would’ve, and while I do like it, similarly to LALALAY, I also wish it had more of an explosive, cathartic moment in the chorus. It’s very vibe-y, and those vibes are immaculate, but in such a strong discography, there’s nothing that distinguishes it from the rest of her work.

TAIL feels less like another entry in her electro catalog and more like a follow-up to her 24 Hours era and especially Who Am I. When I first heard it, I was surprised at what seemed to be so out of left field, but listening in order, it makes more sense. This song too has that kind of creeping tenseness that I loved from the beginning, although I think that for me, it needs more of the rock elements from Who Am I in order to be a favorite of mine. Yet again, I feel like the song should be building to some kind of climax or catharsis, but it just…doesn’t. Although, it, like most of her songs, is slowly growing on me and I like it more than I did before the deep dive.

What The Flower is the b-side from this single, and I actually like it more than TAIL. It has similarly tense, sultry vibes, but with a jazzier, soft-rock piano-led edge and much sharper, angrier lyrics. It talks about the pressure to perform and be perfect for an audience, yells at the viewer to “stop touching her”, and says that it’s not necessary to smile. The name was actually chosen because it’s very close to the Korean word for “fuck”, and she wasn’t allowed to swear in it.

The topic of sexuality in Sunmi’s songs is very interesting to me, because she approaches it very differently to a lot of other idols. Sexuality (and sex appeal itself) is a fixture in her music, from the more overt in songs like TAIL to less obvious in Siren. Instead of appealing to a male audience, she often uses it to emphasize her power and strength and show that she’s the one in control, whether as a femme fatale or just a normal woman who’s taken her power back. It feels like the expression of it is on her own terms, which is a nice shift from groups who often do a “sexy concept”, when you never know if they’re comfortable with it or not.

Finally we reach another EP in 1/6 , with two title tracks. The Korean one, You Can’t Sit With Us, was actually the first song I’d heard of Sunmi’s, and needless to say, the teen movie references, impeccable styling, synthy beat, and of course, the entire insane zombie hunting / romcom plotline won me over completely. The one trip-up I (like many people) have is probably the rap verse, which didn’t need to be there and definitely didn’t need to be in English. But, the whole song is just super fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously so I’m willing to look past whatever minor hang-ups I have. I laugh everytime I hear or see it, and it’s just so unabashedly weird that I can’t help but love it.

Borderline is the English title track, which usually I would criticize for attempting to reach wider markets and be sanitized, but Sunmi actually goes the complete opposite direction, using the different language to open up honestly about her Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis in a raw, emotional appeal (“why do people keep saying, ‘what’s wrong with her?’?”) only backed up by a guitar and quiet drums, so different from the majority of her synth works. This is one of the songs where her vocals truly have time to shine, and though I admit I didn’t like it at first, I enjoy listening to it more each time I do and it’s slowly become one of my favorites.

My hidden gem from ⅙ is actually the song ⅙, which, despite its seemingly happy production with bright synths and light vocals, is actually another song about her mental health, and takes the interesting metaphor of escaping to the moon, wondering if, if she could go where gravity is ⅙ that of Earth, if her worries would be ⅙ that of what they are now. But I like the rest of the EP too, albeit less than I liked Warning.

Go or Stop?, a single made for advertising, starts with a somewhat trippy electro beat and while it’s not a career highlight, It’d made a nice addition to a gym playlist with its constant energy. Again, like with LALALAY, Pporappippam, and TAIL, it needs just something more, but this time I can’t quite figure out where that “more” needs to be. All I know is something just doesn’t quite work for me.

Oh Sorry Ya starts with an odd bass guitar and high whistle-like contrast mixed with Sunmi’s trademark synth and the combination really works for me. The vocals suit the song well, and I like that the song doesn’t follow a “normal” structure, or really feel “normal” in any way with its many different instrumentals and genres smashed together. It sounds a bit like a more dancy version of Borderline, and it’s apparently inspired by a pun; in Korean “Heosoli” (to be silly) sounds like “Oh Sorry” and she turned it into a song with a deeper meaning. This song is also in English, and the lyrics are pretty good. I like this one.

Heart Burn is another departure from the synth, with a trippy guitar and a vibe that is somehow summery, strange, dreamy, and moody at the same time. Like Siren and TAIL, it follows the narrative of a character that could so easily be seen as just a classic femme fatale if it weren’t for the added depth that Sunmi imbues through her voice. This is one of my favorites from her, to be honest, and in keeping with the story of traveling throughout time, it feels like very 60’s / 70’s and thus, unique while still feeling very her (the calm jump roping while the ghosts of the men she’s murdered hold it for her is what made me go, “ah, there it is, I thought it felt too normal.”). I liked it from first listen, unsurprisingly, and I can’t decide whether I prefer the original or the more lowkey version where she’s playing bass, because they’re pretty neck and neck for me right now.

Childhood, the b-side from the single, is also very dreamy. In fact, it makes me feel like floating in a great way and listening to it for this deep dive almost put me to sleep. The gentle bass and even gentler drums mixed with her voice (which is much less harsh than usual) is a winning combo for me.

Stranger, at time of writing, just came out today, which is why this review is a day late. The teasers intrigued me from the beginning, and the sing-talk beginning scared me because I worried that she was giving up her signature style. Instead, the verses and bridge are synth and the choruses are sing-talk, a combination that almost works but doesn’t. It annoys me because I really, really want to like this song; the Frankenstein meets Wednesday aesthetics are very cool and it has a great sense of humor. But…I’ve never been a fan of sing-talk and I think that it’s safe to say that this one is just not for me. As for b-sides, I did like Call My Name, although not as much as I’ve liked other b-sides in the past.

Alright, that’s the end of our supplemental for this week, folks. Next week we’re back to one group on Sundays because unlike BTS, they don’t have more songs than I have strands of hair, but next time I have a longer group, I’ll likely do supplementals again because these were a nice break for me. As is the standard, I’m glad I did this! I was right that this deep dive would make me a Miya-ne, and I’m happy that it did. I’ve loved Sunmi for a while, and this only made me love her more. I had no idea until this that she writes her own songs, and I give her a whole lot of respect for that because damn, it’s really difficult.

My Top 5 songs of Sunmi’s are Heroine, Heart Burn, Black Pearl, Who Am I, and Siren, with a special shout-out to Borderline. Sunmi gets an 8.75/10 from me; again a personal bias thing, since this is a supplemental, but I really had a lot of fun with this deep dive. I’m a huge fan of synthpop and songs that discuss fame and mental health, so this was a perfect way to end my weekend. Maybe one day, Hera willing, I’ll get to see Sunmi live too!

Next week we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming with a girl group, so I’ll see you then! Tschüss!

[elbiotipo]

hablando del genshin argentino creo que una de las mejores cosas seria hacer personajes estilo yun jin o eula que bailan en sus autoataques pero que sean bailes tipicos argentinos tipo tango o el gato. Onda imaginate un personaje bailando tango y que con cada paso explote algo a su alrededor (pyro) o salgan plantas que atacan a los enemigos (dendro) estaria muy piola.

... y que en la idle animation tome mate, obvio

yes yes genshin argentino we've all seen it

O sea, si no hay por lo menos UN personaje tanguero, realmente estás haciendo genshin argentino? Que es interesante, porque me lleva a preguntar con que elemento relacionaríamos al tango... lo primero que dicen muchos es "fuego" pero no, yo digo hielo porque es preciso y hasta rígido a veces, y porque las letras y la música son melancólicas, heladas, realmente para mí el tango es menos "sexy dance scene music" y más "melancolía porteña destilada"

Al chamamé lo relaciono con el agua, y por SUPUESTO tiene que haber una minita rockera (ya hay una en el juego que me tocó a mí, Xinyan) con poderes electros. Y también un Charly García. Su bigote tiene habilidades heladas no sé.

Si tuviera que hacer un juego, no importa cual, ambientado en Argentina el mate no sería un idle animation sino una mecánica fundamental. La única forma de sanar a tu equipo o subirlo de nivel es tomar mate con ellos, algo así, imposible escaparlo es parte fundamental del juego.

I didn’t have time to follow the shows live, instead just watching the performances from night one and two the morning after the show. I enjoyed night one well enough, but found the night two songs much stronger, broadly speaking! All my top four came from there!

My absolute favourite entry this year is Made in Italy. I was hooked on this song just from the guy in the orchestra doing the announcer bit at the start, and it only got better from there! I love the unique sound it's got, the electro swing beat is very catchy and works unexpectedly well with the rap! It's got a chaotic energy to it, there's a lot going on, yet it never feels messy. Though I have to admit I nearly lost it when he started scatting! The song moves at such a pace and I enjoy every second of it, so it ends up feeling much shorter to me than it is! I could honestly listen to this on repeat. And I absolutely love his aesthetic, his outfit was so good.  

There’s not as much separating the rest of my top five. I really enjoyed Cause perse, it’s got that pop punk sound to it, very energetic, it gets me hyped up! I only wish it were longer! Next, I loved Madame’s song Voce in 2021, and still listen to it regularly, but I might honestly prefer Il bene nel male. The sound is exciting and a little tense, it draws me into it. I think the production is great, and Madame’s voice is fantastic, she really knows how to perform. Speaking of good production, Cenere is one of the best produced songs here. I especially love that isolated bass right before the chorus, and it helps that I also really like the sound of Lazza’s voice. My final stand out from this selection is Elodie with Due, I don’t think it’s as strong a song as her previous entry, Andromeda, but I still enjoyed it a lot, and Elodie is a fantastic artist.

I would love to see any of these five songs at Eurovision, but, as usual, Italy is pretty spoiled for choice! There’s plenty of other great songs further down my list which could serve them very well at the contest. I reckon they’ve definitely got the quality here to maintain their top 10 streak, and I'm excited to see what they send!

Hello! I'm an introject of Medic from Team Fortress 2. I've been wanting some songs to listen to so I don't have to listen to the other's terrible music (/lh), but for the life of me, I cannot find any music that I'm particularly fond of. I tend to like music with darker themes/lyrics, and my favorite genre is electro swing. Do you have any recommendations?

Hey does anybody know the name of that one song tango would use for his intros? He hasn’t used it in the last couple videos but it’s the electro swing one? I can’t for the life of me remember it’s name and I can’t find it
