#episode 12 all about yves

[dabeth-is-dead]

Also I love the little x files theme melody in the background while Mulder is on screen

[me-a-mess-morelikelythanyouthink]

a dedication to someone that doesn’t deserve one

[text IDs: Image 1: AroarA, #6: “that the house is slowly on fire / that the house is slowly on fire // and I can't get you to leave it / and I can't get you to leave it // and I can't leave without you / and I can't leave without you”

Image 2: june gehringer, I love you, it looks like rain: “the worst part of love is / that I remember it. // I walk around all day thinking: I'm going to die in the universe you loved me in. // I get so jealous of euthanized dogs.“

Image 3: sue zhao: He asks: “"how do I get over somebody I never had?" And says: // I did not love you but I almost did. At one time, I might have loved you - at least, I felt I might have. If you were never loved by me, then nevertheless you were lovable to me. Last night I dreamt that your head lay on my stomach and traced the rise and fall of my breath. It felt complete natural - even though I knew once, we had left each other. Even though I knew we had wounded each other. In the dream state, forgiveness comes easily. I never loved you but I almost did. There are days when the breadth of ambiguity feels much worse. There are days I wish I would have loved you so I would know how to stop.

Image 4: ashstfu, tumblr: “girls vs getting over anythings thats ever happened to them in their life”

Image 5: ryebreadgf, tumblr: “YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK! YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK! YOU CAN BITE AND SCRATCH AND BEG BUT YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK!”

Image 6: sue zhao: “How often are you violent against yourself? Does it horrify you? Can you stop? Do you want to? And if you did, would you know how to?”

the last three sentences spanning from “Can you stop?” to “would you know how to?” have been underlined in blue

Image 7: rvbhleo, all caps: “WHAT IS THE POINT OF LUKEWARM LOVE? IF IM NOT DROWNING IN IT I HAVE NO DESIRE FOR IT”

Image 8: osamu dazai, no longer human, highlighted in pink: “the wound has gradually become dearer to me than my own flesh and blood”

Image 9: ojibwa, tumblr: “Grieving, grieving, constantly grieving./I mourn what could have been, what will not be, what I can't save.”

Image 10: ashstfu, tumblr: sometimes getting over something is accepting you will never get over it”

Image 11: anna ahkmatova, parting: “I am very calm. Only do not talk to me about him.”

Image 12: margaret atwood, more and more: “there is no reason for this, only a starved dog’s logic on bones”

Image 13: unknown, all caps: “OTHER BOYS ARE BORING AND YOU ARE A BURNING HOUSE I WANT TO LIVE IN”

Image 14: mahmoud darwish, formatted as if in dialogue between two people: “ -Do you have any weapons on you?” “-I have a longing that's killing me.” 

the second sentence is highlighted in yellow

Image 15: trista mateer, honeybee: “I've gotten so good/about not flinching at the sound of your name/that people don't know I'd still throw myself/mouth-open into the ocean/for the chance to drown somewhere you might see it.“

Image 16: yves olade, bloodsport: “All that/matters is that you want to hurt me. // All that matters is that you want me/Say the word & I'll burn for ten days.”

Image 17: unknown, all caps: “LETS GO TO THE GARDEN./LETS BE KIDS AGAIN./I’LL CHASE YOU IF YOU CHASE ME.”

Image 18: ocean vuong, on earth we’re briefly gorgeous, highlighted in yellow: “When does a war end? When can I say vour name and have it mean only your name and not what you left behind?”

Image 19: lucille clifton, climbing: “maybe i should have wanted less./maybe i should have ignored the bowl in me/burning to be filled./maybe i should have wanted less.”

— the girl groups enhypen’s gfs are in !

genre: fluff (angst on jungwon’s part) + established relationship (eventually lol)

pairings: idol!enhypen x fem!idol!reader

note: idk how to title this pls i thought of it while showering

tagging: @jeminiepabo @strwberrydinosaur

you just finished performing and your members were in need of water bottles

you just finished performing and your members were in need of water bottles

you just finished performing and your members were in need of water bottles

but fucking mnet didn’t provide any inside of your dressing room??

but fucking mnet didn’t provide any inside of your dressing room??

but fucking mnet didn’t provide any inside of your dressing room??

so yves told you to ask for some from the artist in the dressing room next to yours

you knocked on the door without looking at the sign that showed who was in there

you asked for some water bottles and heeseung went “i’ll go get it!” and ran off to go get get them

jungwon just chuckled and went “hyung’s a really huge fan of your group, he kept on singing star on the way here”

you nodded at the younger one, impressed at the fact that you were popular among idols

the tall boy came back with a whole box full of water bottles

“there’s 12 of you here right now so i figured why not get a whole box” he chuckled nervously

you giggled and smiled at the nervous boy

“thank you heeseung-ssi, i’ll take this to my members” you took the box in your hands but was taken aback on how heavy it was

“don’t worry i’ll carry it for you”

long after that you started hanging out and boom you became his gf

you couldn’t resist the charms of lee heeseung

once it was revealed that you were a couple, orbits and engenes went INSANE (in a good way ofc)

“wait so y/n DOESNT hate men????”

★ jay - aespa

OMG OMG LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS BBY

you both met at school after you both debuted

everyone was gossiping around about how you were in the same class with the enhas

so like... monster rookies class

usually idols aren’t seated together but the teacher seated you and jay next to each other

causing a bunch of “oooohhhs” from your classmates

there were times were you and the enhas would leave school early due to practice or schedules

and on the way to the school gate, jay would always spark up a conversation with you

you assumed he was just very friendly

long story short he had a massive crush on you

so a few months into your friendship (which the both of you were very open about with your fans), he confesses

you were like “WAIT SO IT WASNT ONE SIDED THE WHOLE TIME”

y’all were just really blind lol pls read between the lines

anyways on to ur lovely bf !!

he’s so bold and brave around you but so shy around your members and seniors

we all know how he really respects nct (along with other sm artists) bc he covered the 7th sense with sunghoon on iland

so one day you were like “oh btw i showed taeyong sunbae you and hoon’s t7s cover”

he was like 😟 to 😧 to 😯

got all shy and was like “oh what did he say..”

you don’t know why he was acting as if he didn’t body that whole performance ????

anyway you told him that taeyong said that he and hoon did really well and that he liked how jay did his part

hid his face on the crook of your neck

“baby we should come say hi to them next time you go to sm”

“NO i will make a fool out of myself”

speaks english and japanese with giselle a lot when he isn’t occupied with you

sometimes you’d even have to ask nct’s shotaro to translate

your seniors (especially exo’s kai) adore him so so much pls protect the boy at all costs

★ jake - everglow

he was an active viewer of produce 48 and (like me) was really attached to the yuehua trainees

especially you

so when you got eliminated just before the last episode, he was devastated to say the least

he awaited your debut and when the time came he supported everglow !!!!

LOVED BON BON CHOCOLAT SO MUCH

does the killing part choreo in his room when no one’s watching lol

dies everytime you do the little “everglow” in songs

right so when he debuted in enha, he looked forward to meeting you as an idol and not a fan

when you shared a dressing room at kcontact, he couldn’t help but introduce himself to you

he mentioned he was a big fan and your heart warmed

cute boy is a fan of you? omg heart go brr brr

your members tease you and you just shake it off

that day when you got back to the dorms, you watched a bunch of enhypen videos bc you were interested in jake

you weren’t aware of how popular you were among people - let alone idols so you were surprised

you fell in love with his personality and started saying hi to him whenever you meet backstage at music shows

not long after, you develop feelings for him

you thought it was just a puppy crush but as you saw him even more, it got serious

you never actually confessed but aisha accidentally spilled the beans when he was passing by

“cmon y/n just tell him you like him because he clearly feels the same !!”

“you like me?”

“AISHA”

“that’s my queue to leave”

so she leaves you two to pour your hearts out to each other

you two become a couple and forevergenes (such a cute name omg) LOVE you two

you’re both the puppies of your group so that makes your relationship 103892x cuter

you met his parents and they adore you and even asked for your autograph

“jake used to talk about how great you are after every produce 48 episode”

“okayyyy i think that’s enough embarassing me mom”

his parents love you like their own daughter but does layla love you?

you were so nervous to meet her and was actually scared she might not like you - knowing how important layla is to jake

at first layla ignored you and jake was like “she’ll come around”

you were convinced she just doesn’t like you, until this one time you were cuddling with jake on the couch and layla comes in

you expected her to snuggle up with jake but she came to you :D

now layla is super fond of you and mrs sim would even send you pictures and videos of layla getting excited whenever you were on tv 🥺

★ sunghoon - itzy

you and the girls were at isac

the six of you were just waving at your fans and making heart signs with your hearts

on your left you saw yeji making hearts with ryujin so you wanted to do that with another member too

you felt a presence next to you and assumed it was someone from your group

spoiler alert: it wasn’t

sunghoon and sunoo were waving at engenes who just happened to be seated next to midzys

so you turned to who you thought was an itzy member, making half a heart with your hand

until you realized it wasn’t 💀

you bowed and apologized when you both looked at each other, you were scared you crossed a boundary

you bowed and apologized to the engenes who were there too

sunghoon and sunoo reassured you it was all good

after that, sunghoon couldn’t help but keep his eyes on you the entire event

when the day was coming to an end, he pulled some strings and ended up having some alone time with you ...in stray kids’ dressing room

don’t ask

ofc skz already left so it was just you two there

fast forward, you both hit it off and he became your bf <3

midzys and engenes love you both sm and love bragging about you two to other fandoms

you two were even named the king and queen of 4th gen kpop

oh also

you already know where this is going

“SUNGHOON HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW NOT SHY’S PROPER TITLE IT’S YOUR GIRLFRIEND’S SONG” - jay

brags about how he can do the shoulder dance in wannabe

ofc it’s bc you personally taught him

sends you pics of jyp as reaction pics

so you send pics of bang pdnim to him

every once in a while he reminds you of that video of jay why pee trying to hit a high note

“lmao that’s your boss”

PLS you always get super embarrassed so ofc you bring up that vid of hitman bang

“rAp dAncE-“

★ sunoo - stayc

you were his seatmate at school predebut

you came from the same town, same school, same neighborhood, etc

the two of you were extremely close and both shared the same dream

when highup entertainment accepted you, the both of you were over the moon

he was so happy for you

but sad too bc that meant you had to move to seoul :(

you promised him to do your best and that you hoped to see him again but as an idol

and hopefully when he’s an idol too

well what you hoped for came true !!

although you couldn’t see him much as a trainee - which made you quite sad - you got to follow his journey on i-land

you even asked your fellow trainees to vote for him

anyways now that you both debuted, you became close again and became really open with your fans on how close you were

you recommended his songs to swiths and he did the same to engenes

he even memorized the choreo to so bad and asap and lemme tell you this

he BEGGED you to teach him those choreos

“sunoo you can watch the practice on youtube”

“but i want to learn it from you”

he never really realized his feelings until he saw you getting shipped with his other members

you were both on weekly idol and the hosts really seemed to like how you and jake looked next to each other and they just teased you both the whole episode

that made sunoo feel uneasy and he thought it was only bc he was an overprotective best friend

turns out he had feelings for you (wow shocker)

so one day he asks you to come to hybe

after slightly getting lost, you meet up with him in a practice room

he confesses bc he felt like not telling you about his feelings would put a wall between you two

you appreciate his honesty and tell him you’ve felt the same way every since you were classmates

he scolds himself for not seeing it all those years but you just laugh it off bc you were pretty good at hiding your crush

you both agree to secretly date, until you both announce it on your five month anniversary

fans were really shocked at first... but they support you !!!!

engenes will not hesitate to come at anyone who talks bad about you and swiths feels the same way about jungwon

he gushes about you every single time you’re brought up

and you can’t help but love your adorable boyfriend

★ jungwon - iz*one

okay so

he was just an average high schooler when you were introduced on produce 48

his deskmate was watching your audition video and it was the part where you were doing this freestyle

he was SO amazed and he secretly followed your journey on produce 48

always made sure to vote on time and watch the episodes live

once the debut evaluation came around, he asked everyone he knew to vote for you and even bought tickets to see the show live

almost cried when he saw that you were center

ACTUALLY CRIED when you got into the top 13 😭

fast forward to him debuting in enha

he wasn’t able to catch up on you since he was busy with trainee life, then i-land, then debut preparations

but somehow in the middle of promotions he ran into you and BOOM love at first sight

fast forward to you finally dating, he couldn’t believe he was dating the y/n of iz*one

wizones make those “ladies and gentlemen, y/n’s man” edits and engenes make those “ladies and gentlemen, jungwon’s woman” edits

both fandoms love you two so dearly that the only hate you two got were from the delusional ones (who clearly aren’t actual fans)

when your last concert came around, he couldn’t bare seeing you cry when you said “this has been iz*one’s y/n, thank you everyone!”

he got flashbacks from when you cried during the final episode of produce 48 and he’s just.. sobbing bc he couldn’t be there to hold you

so the next day he rushed to your dorms with snacks and emotional support bc you were emotionally exhausted from accepting the fact that your journey with iz*one is finally ending

you felt extremely lucky to be in his arms and he felt extremely lucky too that he’s able to make you feel a little better

★ riki - weeekly

you were both on weekly weeekly idol together

and both you and riki being main dancers, you were asked to do random dance together

a few popular songs played and the both of you did the choreos

until after school started playing and the boy did the chorus’ choreo and you were like “woah???”

bc he was so INTO ITTTT

the song was basically made for him to cover it

and the mcs saw your reaction so they asked him to do it once again but this time with the whole group

after filming, he came up to you and was like “i’m a huge fan of yours” and you’re just like ):&/£]>\**_£]

“woah really???? i rooted for you on i-land”

and his face just lights up bc his huge crush on you developed even more

you became besties since then but he didn’t ask you out until your birthday

he took you out to a puppy café, knowing you were obsessed with dogs

you’d ask him to show you pictures and videos of bisco

“i better meet bisco once we go to japan together”

melted at the thought of traveling to his hometown with you

anyways

once you left the café, he kissed you in front of your dorms

and somehow he became your boyfriend <3

riki as a bf isn’t really a very public person

he’s the “this is our relationship, not the public’s” type of person

he doesn’t wanna risk companies wanting to exploit your relationship

although he doesn’t talk about you two much, he loves to brag about you when given the chance

whenever variety show hosts would fawn over you he’d just look them in the eyes dead and go “she’s mine”

It’s finally time. What were your favorite works/fics from the past year?

There are two that I can think of which basically made me started writing on this website.

@a-casual-kpopfan - Time - Hyunjin

That is perhaps one of the most creative and saddest stories I had ever read on this website. Maybe people just taboo of writing their kpop favs having illnesses or God forbid, passing away, but this one crossed the line and it delivered.

@yieldtotemptation - EXPERIMENTS ft. Winter

My God is this a banger. Character development? In a smut? Storylines without awkward cursing? 9k words? This is a must read for all, even if you don't really know Aespa, which I don't.

thoughts on choevi?

Based on their vlives and interactions, I would say they are great pals and genuinely care about each other. They are so comfortable with each other and their smiles and laughter are absolutely genuine, viewers and fans can see that too.

As for the trilogy, I don't think Choerry would try to disrupt ViVi's personal love life (unlike Yeojin). I try to write stuff that is at least a *bit* plausible to their personalities shown on camera. Like, I can't envision a scene where Choerry tries to snatch ViVi's boyfriend away, it doesn't match her personality, it's too far-fetched.

So yeah, Choerry will remain uninvolved in this current trilogy, but in the future I'm sure they will have their own duo series!

Unraveled Secrets - Episode 2 (ft. Yeojin)

LOONA ViVi x Male Reader

Word Count: 7469 words

Categories: smut, girl on girl, series

Disclaimer: Here is the second part of the trilogy! This episode happened right after where episode 1 has left off. Also all LOONA members will use stage names in the most part excluding ViVi for familiarity and continuity purposes. Special thanks to @a-casual-kpopfan for proof reading!

They say time is just a perception. If you are doing something you like, it will flow by faster, and vice versa. Waiting is an arduous process, a slow torturing method designed to push your mind and patience to its absolute limits. If things going your way is like a 100 meter dash, then waiting is like a marathon. It’s the pain of going through it.

-7 days till scheduled trip-

“One week.” Kahei murmured.

Your first date in real life. 7 days left. Painful.

Unlike Chuu, who is allegedly booked full until 2054, Kahei had some free time to spare. Usually she would spend her time painting art pieces, hosting V Live from time to time, or just hanging out with other unoccupied members. But now, all she can think of is that day. THAT special first date you two are going to have. Kahei cannot stop herself from overthinking about every single aspect of it. Where should we go? What will we be doing together? And also…what is Yeojin planning anyways? As soon as she thought about that, Yeojin’s words echoed inside Kahei’s brain.

“We’ll have a threesome together unnie! We’ll be fucking all day and all night long! Isn’t it what you asked for?”

Her ears turned red. Her face turned crimson. Her heart was pounding stronger than before. Even her kidneys are pounding, for some reason.

“What is this feeling? Nervousness? It couldn’t be…” Kahei contemplating with herself. “I didn’t even feel like this on my debut stage…what is going on?”

She was completely in her zone, immersed in her own world of thoughts. At this moment, Choerry noticed her unnie was a bit strange today. Kept spacing out, and being oddly quieter than usual. This piqued up Choerry’s interest, so she decided to get to the bottom of this. But to do that, she must rescue Kahei from her own world and bring her back to reality. Choerry asked Kahei if she could join her V Live session, as she needed someone to teach her Cantonese and engage with foreign fans.

Unraveled Secrets - Episode 1

LOONA ViVi x Male Reader

Word Count: 1421 words

Categories: smut, masturbation, series

Disclaimer: This is my first planned series, so the first episode is quite short! But I'll be sure to take time and really try to bring the most out of it! Also ViVi is my bias, if that is not apparent enough, she deserve more attention honestly, enjoy!

Kahei is always the quiet one in the bunch. Surrounded by high energy girls every single waking moment is tough for her. If Yerim is like a ball of sunshine, Kahei is definitely like a cool breeze at night.

She is known for being the sweet, collective and dorky mat-nae, who would make you seaweed soup as breakfast, but yells at you to clean the dishes if she ever spot one dirty utensil in the sink. That is the Kahei we all know and love.

But being the only foreigner in the group, there are a lot of unknown secrets before her debut. Everything about her past was supposed to be a secret, tucked away into her own mind palace, and she would do anything to protect her most previous moments in life. But that is all about to change.

After a painful and excruciating annual dinner at BBC, LOONA went back to their infamous loonathedorm and finally catch a break.

Hyunjin is annoying Heejin and begging for her attention, Yeojin is taking selfies with some obscure background she managed to find and Olivia Hye is still picking out cotton from her clothes from that explosion incident. You know, just a normal day in loonathedorm.

Irritated by the noise, Kahei grabbed her phone and locked herself in the toilet to minimize the noise pollution. She took a big breath, and beginning to type on her phone rapidly with her skilled fingers. You would have thought that she texted one of the members to express her frustration pent up the entire day, but you would be wrong.

"Oppa, I'm stressed out again today…"

"Kahei-ya, it's okay to blow some steam out from time to time, 24/7 I'll be there."

"…Cheesy as ever."

And there you are, one of the few male contact in her phone, her secret male-friend that only he knows - Jason. The one true friend that stayed with her all the way from her debut until now.

"You really became a full-fledged Korean now huh? Don't we call each other on a first name basis?"

"Well…oppa is easier to type anyway."

"Anything that suits you, I'm fine with it."

A smile beamed across Kahei's face. She knows you are always the considerate one, and the funny one too. If only distance is not a problem, you two would probably hangout everyday single day!

"I'm still stressed out, can't we just do…the usual?"

"Sheesh, you sure is bold with me huh. Alright, ever ready to be of service."

Kahei opened up their secret meet link and video called you. She put her phone on the cistern so that you can see her entire body. Her pale skin and long black hair pairs perfectly with her thin waist and perky chest. She's not on the big side but still it is prominent enough to stand out. Clearly it's not the first time she has been doing this kind of stuff, being an idol is stressful after all.

"Do what you gotta do, Kahei." You murmured, and she begins to remove her clothing, one at a time. She was wearing a white tee with a denim jumpsuit that just overload her with cuteness. It was exactly the same outfit she wore in her debut single MV.

Just as Kahei is about to remove her jumpsuit, an intrusive thought made you interrupt her with a simple but bold request.

"Kahei, can you tie a twin tail for me please?"

"…Never knew you had that kind of fetish, Jason. Just this once okay?" Kahei begrudgingly tied her hair into twin tails, which makes her even cuter in your eyes.

DON'T LIKE HISTORY

People keep telling me they're not into history. If they're thinking about high school, textbooks, or documentaries on the history channel, then I understand completely. Forced learning stinks for sure. Especially when it's about something long ago or in a faraway land.

I see it differently. I would argue that most love history. Their formal K-12 school education setting and style aren't the first thing I see. Like the title character in the August Rush movie, history "is all around us."

We think of famous architecture and landmarks.

It almost doesn't matter what you do enjoy. Most likely, you do enjoy history. Let me prove it to you.

Sports is the number one pastime in America. Can a football fan tell you the famous players and games by their team? If I say, Walter Payton or Joe Montana, do they know who I'm talking about? Of course, they do. Just like Wayne Gretzky or Bobby Orr in hockey,

Mickey Mantle and Ozzie Smith in baseball,

or Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain in basketball. They know about the Ice Bowl, the Miracle on Ice, the 1989 Bay Area World Series, and recognize the Triple Crown Award (more than one sport).

How about Heisman Winners in the past? How many great college players can you name that were terrible in the pros? I can name several and I am no expert. Who were the best college players ever?

Has anyone ever moved through a defensive line like Barry Sanders or will anyone ever again? I miss watching that guy play!

Car buffs love their cars. Some love the Shelby Cobra and others go back to the Duesenberg and Vauxhall's.

Cars have become a part of Hollywood lore as well, with Knight Rider, The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team, the Batmobile, the Ghostbusters ambulance, and Jurassic Park jeeps.

I love movies and thought about going to USC for film school. If I spoke about Steven Spielberg affecting people with his movies, would it make sense? Jaws made people afraid to go into the water. Indiana Jones made people want to explore. His movies moved the public's perception from fear of Orson Welles' War of the Worlds

to his own tale of wonder in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and then to an awkward loveable buddy E.T.

Schindler's List broke the world's heart with portrayals of the holocaust. Jurassic Park brought dinosaurs back to life.

Do you realize that Jurassic Park was released in June of 1993? I graduated high school months before. Now I feel old.

Even in television shows, what was your favorite? Was it Mash? It was a rare combination of heart-clutching realities, tender moments, and needed comic relief. I watched the final episode.

Maybe it was Seinfeld or Friends.

Or Alex Trebek who's no longer with us, just like Robin Williams. Such great entertainment history.

I love music and its history.

Most who love cooking have heard the name Julia Child. I know people that were friends. She was a legend.

Collect shoes? Here's a picture of Chuck Taylor sneakers from their first go-round.

I love business history and remember this well.

Fashion is an obsession in America. Even I know about Oscar de la Renta, Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, and Versace.

I love the scene in the movie The Devil Wears Prada, with Meryl Streep explaining to Anne Hathaway where her careless fashion choices were decided by the people in the room.

"This… “stuff”? Oh, okay. I see you think this has nothing to do with you.

You… go to your closet, and you select… I don’t know, that lumpy blue sweater for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back, but what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean.

You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that, in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns, and then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent, wasn’t it?… who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here.

And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin.

However, that blue represents millions of dollars of countless jobs, and it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry, when in fact, you’re wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room… from a pile of “stuff.”

Undoubtedly, Hatheway's character was unaware and probably didn't care, but everyone in the room did. It is the world they love and they know the history very well.

One more for the crowd. Who remembers playing these?

I wish we'd talk about the history of our loves that way. History still evokes emotion and memories, even just seeing pictures.

Don't you love sports history, cinema history, art history, fashion history, business history, and automobile history?

Maybe it's just me and my random thought for today.

[mobiused]

What happens if they disband though? Besides freeing them mistreatment, which is worth it to me but still also so painful.. What do you predict happening to all of them? We have to keep up with all 12 of them separately? Honestly, it could be a good thing, I know there would be stuff to look forward to from it, but I'm still so sad .. :(

i genuinely don't think they'll disband before their contract ends (earliest 2023). i can't predict what would happen with the members, but there's a lot of opportunities lying ahead for most of them. chuu, yves, heejin, and hyunjin all do well on the brand ranking, and the first three get gigs pretty regularly, so it's easy to imagine they'd appear on TV as personalities quite often. heechuu aside are obvoiously successful due to being flagship members, chuu doubly so because of her unwavering optimism and one of the pioneers of the new brand of kind influence idols. yves especially is sought after because of her amazing comedic sense, and hyunjin's eccentric personality is appreciated by the general public more than a lot of people give credit for (huge boost in rankings after trolling kim gura the entire episode where she appeared as just a panelist, also went trending 1st everywhere when she was actually performing as jade bead).

hyeju's personality was also strongly praised on city fisherman as uniquely sardonic and cynical and a breath of fresh air compared to other female idols, but i don't think she's had enough solo schedules to be particularly in demand. also i'm pretty sure once her contract up she's gonna run away back to uijeongbu lol. choerry has explicitly expressed interest in being an actor too, oh, heejin recently also said she wanted to pursue acting more. jinsoul, chuu, yves & haseul definitely want to continue their music careers, i'm pretty sure lip and heejin do too... all of them are capable for CFs and photoshoots, and yeojin, vivi & gowon are shoeins for photoshoots...

try not to be sad! LOONA are a family and no disbandment or contract expiration will change that. think about how happy they will be to have their freedom, both creatively speaking (think about the members who are interested in song production) and in a literal sense. vivi will finally be able to go home, hyeju can run off to the countryside, and the more overlooked members members can get agents who will actually give them the promotion and attention they deserve. and like i said, the girls are a family, they will always be together and i'm sure we'll get plenty of content of them together too. also i genuinely believe it will be a really long time away - at LEAST 2 years minimum. to me, disbandment is analogous to the universe closing a door and opening a window :)

Yve Blake talks about Rainbow Direction’s inspiration

Every once in a while we find a little Google news notification in our inbox, and today - since things have been silent for so long - we wanted to share the joy with you. In a podcast interview on a website that supports creative arts in the school curriculum, “Fangirls” musical writer Yve Blake talks about how Rainbow Direction was one of the things that inspired her musical about the power of teenage girls. Hopefully it’ll come our way one day, and we can see it for ourselves, but in the meantime, something nice to listen to:

https://player.whooshkaa.com/episode?id=769670

 “7-12 Creative Arts Project Officer Jackie King speaks with writer of the hit new Australian musical Fangirls, Yve Blake. In this podcast Yve dispels the myth of fan girls as she talks through her research, composing process and willingness to engage with schools to support student writers.”

The transcript is here: https://education.nsw.gov.au/teaching-and-learning/curriculum/key-learning-areas/creative-arts/professional-learning/creative-cast-podcast/industry-chats/transcript-of-industry-chat---yve-blake

And this is the excerpt about RD

 “And then I did my research and quickly, like some of the first things I found researching the one direction fandom. Were corners of it I hadn't imagined existed. So, like, rainbow direction, entire facet of the fandom that is about protecting and celebrating and supporting queer fans and They also have all these charity efforts where they raise money and they, like I always love talking about this one gesture they did where they in a stadium in Boston and they did it in other stadiums. They coordinated with a huge number of fans. They figured out which seat seating banks different fans would be sitting in and then circulated different coloured tiles that they could put up on their phone screens. They could coloured image, and the result was that across the stadium, imagine a perfectly proportioned rainbow flag. So one banks red, then orange, then yellow, then green. So, like it just, I was suddenly taken back by, Yeah, the organization skills, the creativity, the goodwill, the fact that these people were uniting through a love of a musical artist. But it wasn't necessarily about like young girls being competitive psychos. And so I started to question. Okay, well, why is that? The dominant association we have with fan girls and their real epiphany moment for me, which I talked about a lot, is that as I was researching one direction fans a couple months later, Zayn Malik left the band one direction, and there was like this global outcry because it was sort of without warning overnight. But there was also a lot of mainstream news reporting, and I really noted the language that was being used. I noted that fan girls were largely being described as hysterical and scary and crazy and hormonal and over the top and a bit much. And I had this epiphany off, like why I always say this.

But why is it that the image of a young girl screaming her lungs out at, say, a Justin Bieber concert might be described with those words? But the image of a young man screaming, even crying at a football match might be described is completely different words. Loyal, passionate, enthusiastic. The love of the game, Australian. I just sort of suddenly went, Oh, wow. Okay, so the more interesting thing about Fangirls isn't the way that they're full of energy. It's the way that people talk about their energy and that subtly gendered ways that we look at enthusiasm when it is deemed to come from like a fem source. And so really, I realized that I did want to write a show about fan girls, and I was excited to write a show about, like, teenage girls, where everything is life or death stakes. But I wanted to design it, as I say, like a Trojan horse. So on the outside, it seems to be kind of like sparkly, funny, almost like a parody kind of energy. But underneath it, it's gonna It's actually talking about some really big social themes that's talking about the different ways that we raise young women and men. And so, in the second act sneaks up on you and punches you in the gut.”

We just can’t wait to see it!

BOB CUMMINGS

June 9, 1910 - December 2, 1990

Robert “Bob” Cummings was born in Joplin, Missouri. His godfather was the aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright, so naturally he got his pilot’s license and studied aeronautical engineering. After the stock market crash of 1929, he gave up flying to study drama in New York City, making his Broadway debut in 1931. In 1934 he moved to Hollywood and started making films. During World War II he was a captain in the Air Force Reserves. His television career kicked off in 1952, winning an Emmy for for a TV production of “12 Angry Men.” Starting in 1955, Cummings starred on a successful NBC sitcom, "The Bob Cummings Show” (aka “Love That Bob”), in which he played Bob Collins, an ex–World War II pilot who became a successful photographer. The show ended in July 1959. It was then that he first teamed with Lucille Ball on an episode of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour.” CBS revived “The Bob Cummings Show” in 1961, but it lasted just one season. He reprised the character of Bob Collins on a 1972 episode of "Here’s Lucy” and returned the following season for another episode. Cummings was married five times and fathered seven children. He died in 1990 at the age of 80. 

Lucille Ball and Bob Cummings first worked together in the penultimate episode of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” “The Ricardos Go To Japan” (November 1959). 

Cummings played himself in Japan to make a film. In reality, his next film, My Geisha (1962) starring Shirley MacLaine and Yves Montand, actually was filmed in Japan, although “The Ricardos Go To Japan” was filmed entirely in Hollywood.  

Lucy and Cummings were just two of the many stars participating in “Hedda Hopper’s Hollywood” (January 10, 1960). Cummings, alone on a soundstage, tells the story of how he was discouraged from pursuing an acting career. Despite this he got an opportunity that turned into the film Three Smart Girls Grow Up (1939). While filming this segment for Hopper, his second TV series “The Bob Cummings Show” had just finished its five season run on CBS.

In a 1972 episode of “Here’s Lucy,” Cummings played Bob Collins, the character he played on his own show “Love That Bob”!  

In the episode, Lucy takes a liking to Bob, although her daughter Kim thinks he is an alcoholic womanizer and goes to great lengths to scare him off. 

In 1973, Cummings returned to "Here’s Lucy” to play Bob Henning, a deceitful antiques dealer who is after a priceless chair Lucy Carter unknowingly bought. To get it back, he pretends to have a romantic interest in Lucy. 

Cummings was in attendance at the “The 38th Primetime Emmy Awards” on September 21, 1986, when Lucille Ball presented the Governor’s Award to Red Skelton. 

THE CUMMINGS CONNECTION

While both “I Love Lucy” and “The Bob Cummings Show” were on the air simultaneously, “Bob” was on Sundays on NBC while “Lucy” held down Mondays on CBS. The first “Bob Cummings Show” (later re-titled “Love That Bob” for syndication, lest it be confused by the same-titled second iteration) was a mid-season replacement that featured many of the same performers as “Lucy”:

Joi Lansing (Shirley Swanson, 24 episodes)

Nancy Kulp (Pamela Livingstone, 16 episodes)

Eliva Allman (Mrs. Montague, 7 episodes)

Marjorie Bennett (Mrs. Neimeyer, 6 episodes)

with Doris Singleton, Benny Rubin, Robert Carson, Lurene Tuttle, Bea Benadaret, Dick Elliott, Doris Packer, Charles Lane, Ruth Brady, Madge Blake, Parley Baer, Hy Averback, Tyler McVey, Hans Conried, Ellen Corby, Jay Novello, Margie Liszt, and Will Wright. 

In 1955, a year after leaving his role as Jerry the Agent on “I Love Lucy”, Jerry Hausner played a show business agent on the series. 

In 1957, “The Bob Cummings Show” did a crossover episode with “The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show” that featured Bea Benadaret as Blanche Morton. 

The second iteration, sometimes referred to as “The New Bob Cummings Show”, ran on CBS for just one season just prior to Lucille Ball launching “The Lucy Show.”  Like Ball’s transformation of “The Lucy Show” into “Here’s Lucy,” Cummings played a different character in a new scenario, but it was basically the same show. Some of the “Lucy” character actors crossed over to the new series, including Paul Debov, Dick Elliott, Charles Lane, Norman Leavitt, and Jay Novello.

Cummings’ first time as a regular on a TV series was on the NBC series “My Hero” which only ran one season on NBC (1952-53), concurrently with season two of “I Love Lucy.” The Los Angeles Times thought the show would "rival ‘I Love Lucy’ in popularity.”  The New York Times accused it of being a copy of ‘I Love Lucy’ and said "Cummings brought a magnificent terribleness to his part." The show was executive produced and part owned by Don Sharpe, who was also connected with ‘I Love Lucy.’  A few “Lucy” players were seen on the show: Arthur Q. Bryan, Hal March, Will Wright, James Burke, Fritz Feld, Eve Whitney, Nestor Paiva, Richard Reeves, Mario Siletti, Florence Bates, Lawrence Dobkin, and Ellen Corby. 

Another one-season series for Robert Cummings was filmed at Desilu, aired on CBS, and ran concurrently with season three of “The Lucy Show”. In “My Living Doll” Cummings played an Air Force psychiatrist in charge of a sexy, naive android (Julie Newmar). “Lucy” actors who were also on “My Living Doll” included Ellen Corby, Joe Mell, Jonathan Hole, Jackie Joseph, Parley Baer, Nestor Paiva, Maurice Marsac, Olan Soule, Tyler McVey, Lurene Tuttle, and Leon Alton. 

Just before leaving “My Three Sons” for health reasons in 1965, William Frawley did one episode of “My Living Doll.”  A few months later a cameo on “The Lucy Show” would be Frawley’s final TV performance. 

Bob Cummings had done three films with William Frawley from 1936 to 1940: 

In 3 Cheers for Love (1936) Cummings and Frawley co-starred with Elizabeth Patterson (Mrs. Trumbull) and Irving Bacon (Will Potter). Patterson and Bacon also played the Willoughbys in “The Marriage License” (ILL S1;E26) in 1952. 

One Night in the Tropics (1940) was the first film appearance of the comedy team of Abbott and Costello. Five years later, Lucille Ball played herself in Abbott and Costello in Hollywood. 

Touchdown, Army (1938) featured an uncredited appearance by Richard Denning, who, ten years later, would play George Cooper, Lucille Ball’s husband on her hit radio series “My Favorite Husband.” 

TV People, February 1956. Interestingly, Hal March (host of “The $64,000 Question”) was also a character actor on “I Love Lucy” and “The Lucy Show.”  Liberace would guest star as himself on “Here’s Lucy” in 1970.  The top of the magazine promises an article about Arthur Godfrey and his singer Janette Davis. Godfrey guest starred as himself on  “The Lucy Show” in 1965. Jack Webb’s series “Dragnet” was second only to “I Love Lucy” in popularity during the 1950s. It served as the model for all other police dramas on television. 

“The Lucy Show” and “Love That Bob” can both be found on discount DVD.  Many episodes of these series’ are no longer covered by copyright and are in the public domain.

Todrick Hall

Todrick Hall (born April 4, 1985) is an American singer, songwriter, actor, director, choreographer and YouTuber. He first gained national attention on the 9th season of the reality singing competition American Idol, where he made it to the semi-finals. Following this, he amassed a following on YouTube with multiple viral videos including original songs, parodies, and skits. A documentary series about his video-making process titled Todrick aired on MTV in 2015.

Starting with season 8, Hall became a resident choreographer on RuPaul's Drag Race, and occasional judge. From 2016 to 2017, Hall starred as Lola in Kinky Boots on Broadway. Later in 2017, he began appearances as Billy Flynn in Chicago on Broadway and the West End.

As a singer-songwriter he has released three studio albums, including the visual albums Straight Outta Oz (2016) and Forbidden (2018).

Early life

Todrick Hall was born in Plainview, Texas, on April 4, 1985. His family consists of his mother, father, one brother, and a stepfather. He knew he was different, he liked playing with dolls, and worried if they would still accept him if he turned out to be one of those gay people they made fun of on television. Hall began studying ballet at nine-years-old, and later worked with Fantasia in The Color Purple. He came out as gay to his family when he was fifteen; it took them a few years to accept. He also appeared in Disney's Beauty and the Beast, the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, and performed with Royal Caribbean, Holland America Line, and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

He sang a self-composed song mentioning the judges – Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi, and guest judge Joe Jonas – to plead his case for inclusion in the program. All four judges approved of his participation; he went into Hollywood week and eventually the semi-finals. In the Top 24, he sang Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" and in the Top 20, he performed Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do with It". He was eliminated in the Top 16 on 11 March 2010 after his rendition of Queen's "Somebody to Love;" he was one of four contestants eliminated in that round, and thus ranked between 13th and 16th overall.

How to get into LOONA

Since it’s coming close to their official debut, people might be looking to get into them and I’m brilliant at gathering any information that isn’t to do with my actual coursework, I’m going to make a post of helpful LOONA information and links.

Before I start, here is a playlist of all of their officiall music videos from the channel:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FCYE87P5L0&list=PLn2nfuATkZsQfG8no7wsG2t6GnYtAy8OB  but I have also provided links for each member and subunit below.

Also, here is a link to their LOONA TV playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfqGn-2pW8E&list=PLn2nfuATkZsQzaTPcar9B0vPVO2a59hf5  which is basically like a behind the scenes mini episode series, which follows the girls’ process of shooting for their solos and group songs (all of these videos have subtitles). This series is actually what makes a lot of people love the group as they are all really funny, hardworking and have big personalities once they get past their initial nerves about being on camera. A lot of the memes come from this series too.

I’ve put the rest of the info and links under a read more because it’s a lot (my apologies to mobile phone users).

Ok so first of all the name LOONA comes from the group’s Korean name 이달의 소녀 which means girl of the month (because the concept was that they released a new video or member nearly every month pre-debut), in their English name the hangul has been shortened to ㅇㄷㅇㅅㄴ and then the shapes of the characters have been rearranged and stylised as LOONA. 

They’re a really great group to get into because as I’ve said before they all have very unique and bright personalities, they can pull off so many different musical styles so well (like wow queens of versatility and talent) and their storyline has enough complexities and theories that they could write several books and make a movie on it (I’m not going to go into that in detail here though because it would take too long, there are already videos on it and it’s basically as confusing as HYYH at this point if not more so). On top of that, their company (Blockberry Creative) has been pretty good to the fans and the girls so far. They post everything in Korean and English, put subtitles on all of their videos and frequently ask the fans about opinions on things like which countries they should go to in the future and so on.

Anyway, getting into the members, there are 12 members of LOONA and they each have a solo song and a representative animal and colour. The members and their solos, animals and colours are:

Heejin - ViVid - Bright Pink - Rabbit

Hyunjin - Around You - Yellow - Cat 

Haseul - Let Me In - Green - White bird

Yeojin - Kiss Later - Orange - Frog

ViVi - Everyday I Love You - Pastel Rose - Deer

Kim Lip - Eclipse - Red - Owl

Jinsoul - Singing in the Rain - Blue - Blue beta fish

Choerry - Love Cherry Motion - Purple - Fruit bat 

Yves - New - Burgundy - Swan

Chuu - Heart Attack - Peach - Penguin

Go Won - One & Only - Eden Green (kind of turquoise-ish) - Butterfly

Olivia Hye - Egoist - Silver (this is her colour according to the description blockberry wrote for her CD colour, but sometimes black is used instead in her videos and photos) - Wolf

Yeojin is the youngest member (2002) and ViVi is the oldest (1996). ViVi is also originally from Hong Kong and she’s had to work pretty hard to learn Korean, but if you watch LOONA TV you will see that the other girls support her a lot, her Korean has gradually improved and she seems a lot more comfortable communicating now.

They also have three main subunits, which all have different concepts. These subunits are:

LOONA 1/3 

Members: Heejin, Hyunjin, Haseul, ViVi and supposedly Yeojin because she has said that she is represented by the ‘/’, but she was too young to perform on live broadcasts at the time that their album came out so she isn’t in any of their songs or mvs.

The teaser for LOONA yyxy has just been released so we don’t know what their album or title track is going to be yet, but I will update this once it’s released.

Finally they also have some really great b sides on their solo albums that I would recommend checking out:

Heejin & Haseul - I’ll Be There

Heejin, Hyunjin & Haseul - The Carol

Heejin & Hyunjin - My Sunday

Haseul & Yeojin - My Melody

ViVi & Jinsoul - Everyday I Need You

Kim Lip - Twilight

Kim Lip & Jinsoul - Love Letter

Jinsoul & Choerry - Puzzle

Yves - D-1

Yves & Chuu - Girl’s Talk

Chuu, Go Won & Kim Lip - See Saw

Go Won, Olivia Hye & Heejin - Rosy

Anyway, there are a few other videos like interviews, choreography videos, acoustic versions and The Carol 2.0, but this post is getting really long and some of them are in the official video playlist anyway so I’m going to leave it here and I’d be happy to try my best to answer any questions you have about the other videos, the members or storyline theories in my inbox. Also, I’ve double checked everything, but this was a lot so if I’ve made any mistakes please let me know (I’m beginning to think I should have just made a video instead tbh).

If you’ve made it this far thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy getting to know LOONA!

A Simplified Guide To LOOΠΔ: Kpop's Most Anticipated Girl Group Of 2018

New and old Kpop fans alike can agree that learning a new group can be very daunting. From duos to a fully fledged, 10+ member group, things can get a little confusing during the learning process. LOONA (stylized as LOOΠΔ) is an upcoming, twelve-member girl group that every Kpop fan should get to know! However, even their "pre-debut" process has been quite extensive. With almost 30 unique music videos, three pre-debut units, various promotions, modeling for the brand "Innisfree," and 360+ "LOONA TV" episodes, it's no doubt that even just looking at the group's YouTube channel can be overwhelming. So, where does one start? I am here to give a simplified walk-through of the group's members, their back story, their unique (and detailed) debut concept, and the highlights of what to check out! Follow my lead and you'll soon become a LOONA expert— even before they officially debut! THE HISTORY Way back in October of 2016, Blockberry Entertainment, a subsidiary of Polaris Entertainment, initiated themselves as an official company for the first time to the public through a post on Naver. At the same time, they revealed their plans for a new kind of girl group and announced the 18-month long pre-debut project that would lead to their debut sometime in 2018. LOONA is also known as 이달의 소녀 (Idalui Sonyeo) which translates to "Girl of the Month." The name was tied to the concept that each of the twelve members would be revealed individually each month and release their own solo music and MV. All of the pre-debut songs released by LOONA would be streamed and sold as digital tracks. After a few members released their solo tracks, those same members would then come together to perform as a sub-unit. Each sub-unit promoted their title tracks on music programs for a period of time, and their songs were sold on physical mini-albums as well, some of them with various versions. After the sub-units were done promoting, the process would begin again with more members being introduced individually. Around the same time as gaining the copyright for the name 이달의 소녀 , BlockBerry also trademarked 이달의 소년 (Idalui Sonyeon) which translates to "Boy of the Month." This has given fans the feeling there will be an upcoming male group from BlockBerry Creative who will debut with a similar pre-debut concept. The group's icon is actually made of the first Hangul letter in each syllable of their Korean name. When rearranged, it creates the name LOOΠΔ in Romanized letters which acts as the group's international name.

THE MEMBERS Now, let's learn about the 12 members of LOONA! This list will be in order of when each member's music videos were released, along with their ultimate sub-unit. Each music video title has the corresponding music video attached in the link. 1/3 SUB-UNIT: Heejin

THE CONCEPT The members of LOONA have been active throughout their own series of videos called "LOONA TV." There has been over 360 of them since the first one that was posted back on October 12th, 2016. They range anywhere from 20 seconds long to a minute long (with a few of them being 10-12 minutes long). They usually show the girls messing around, buying gifts for each other, or preparing for their music videos, photoshoots, and pre-debut promotional events. After delving deeper into research on the group, I came to notice unique patterns and themes. These include "mirrored" tracks, connected members, and something called the LOONA-verse! The mirrored tracks would include songs released (usually duets or a solo member featuring on another member) in-between the "official" releases. They would include: two of the same songs with slightly altered lyrics, two songs with the exact same theme, one song acting as an intro for the second song, or both songs having the same melody and lyrics but being an entirely different genre. Some of these include: Haseul & Yeojin's "My Melody" vs. Heejin & Hyunjin's "My Sunday" ViVi's "Everyday I Love You" vs. "Everyday I Need You" LOONA 1/3's "Love and Live" vs "Love and Evil" Kim Lip's "Eclipse" (Produced by Cha Cha Malone) vs. "Twilight" (Produced by Daniel Obi Klein) ODD EYE CIRCLE's "Girl Front" and "ODD Front" ODD EYE CIRCLE's "ODD" and "ADD" On top of those tracks, quite a few acoustic versions of title songs were released alongside the original. Many instances of play-on-word connections like Go WON's "ONE and only" and Choerry's "Love CHERRY motion" are seen. Chuu's debut song "Heart Attack" became a big deal for its music video with light, romantic, homosexual themes. Chuu is seen having a little crush on her fellow member Yves, whose own song lyrics, interestingly enough, mirror the lyrics of "Heart Attack." According to fans, "Heart Attack" was heard being played at various pride celebrations around South Korea. The LOONA-verse was first mentioned with the release of the second sub-unit's (ODD EYE CIRCLE) music video for "Girl Front" on September 20th, 2017. The description of the video explains the creation of the first subgroup, LOONA 1/3. It mentions that the "3" in the name consists of HeeJin, Hyunjin, and Haseul. Yeojin joined to add "/" and ViVi joined to add their "1," creating LOONA 1/3. ODD EYE CIRCLE, consisting of Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry, has a darker concept video with hard-hitting, techno-influenced tracks. Within the music videos for "Eclipse," "Singing in The Rain," and "Love Cherry Motion," various moons are seen, as well as a unique color pattern that fans began to connect to each member. The word ODD was to represent the unique style of these three, as well as the fact that ODD looks like three moons stacked upon each other. The teasers for the sub-unit also revolved around moons, and eclipses were seen within each member's eyes. Finally, the third and final pre-debut sub-unit, LOONA yyxy, made their debut through "love4eva," released on May 30th, 2018. It was filmed in Budapest and featured Grimes, a famous Canadian songwriter and music producer. The description of this video seems to be pulling the band together finally, showing how each of the solo members have joined together to make a sub-unit, and now the sub-units will combine to "create a world." While LOONA 1/3 sang about the excitement of first love, LOONA ODD EYE CIRCLE followed up with a sense of courage to go after that love. LOONA yyxy rounded it out beautifully within their album's tracks by singing of how sweet and luminous their fulfilled love is. However, yyxy member's solo tracks (noteably "Egoist" and "new"), interestingly enough, showed themes of self-worth and staying away from negative relationships. Through various video descriptions and hints dropped within each MV, fans have found a unique thread that connects some members to others. It seems as though the LOONA-verse consists of three alternate universes of some sort that will collide and complete the beginning of LOONA's story for their official debut. THE BOTTOM LINE On top of pre-debut promotions with LOONA, members Hyunjin, Heejin and Haseul were contestants on the YG Entertainment's competition program "MIXNINE". Heejin made it all the way into the top 9 finalists until changes were made by the company and the group did not end up debuting as planned. Recently as well, within another video description, it was revealed that a ballad album, entitled LOONA Ballad, was in the works and is planned to be released in 2019. There is no doubt how much great music there is to explore through LOONA, even before their official debut! A huge variety of music styles are present, from broadway-exque showtunes to jazzy electro-swing and provocative pop melodies with EDM chorus beats. Still feeling overwhelmed, however No worries! I've broken down the most viewed and popular music videos from LOONA, as well as a few more unique tracks you simply must check out. Click the link below to see an easy to follow playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FCYE87P5L0&list=PLovyOn_7awDlW-HMwdfvwz8IIVFu4RdHv BlockBerry also seems to be fairly set on keeping LOONA open to the public, not only by their song choices, but also by their use of English. Many of the official music videos have been translated and subtitled in English. The song "LOONATIC" by ODD EYE CIRCLE is fully in English and was created to be the sub-unit's "international" title track. The official YouTube channel "loonatheworld" dropped a teaser video on June 10th showing the whole group performing together for the first time. Entitled, "(LOONA) go into Orbit," it revealed the date of the group's premiere greeting concert "Line Up" to be August 19th, 2018! This is likely when their debut music video will also be released, and fans are ecstatic at how soon it is! Check out the teaser below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWZrt4fKNJs Finally, in preparation of their comeback, the group announced on July 9th that their official fandom name will be "Orbit." Due to the extensive "prep work" for their debut, the detailed concept for the group, the numerous music video and song released and more, LOONA has already earned a dedicated fan base and is considered by many the most anticipated girl group of 2018.

I hope this has helped a few people bloom into new fans and has shown the incredible thought, detail, and hard work that had been put into making the debut of LOONA! Are you ready to stan these twelve amazing and talented girls? Did this help you learn more about LOONA? Are there any questions that weren't covered here? Are you excited for their debut?

[914x13]

Hello, I sent @peachesandfiction an ask questioning her about Loona earlier and she recommended me you instead 😊 Is there some link(s) or whatever about them you could send to me? I really want to stan Loona but have no idea how to start 💛💚💜💙

Hey there! I’m always down to help people get into Loona 💜💜

So since I’m not sure how much you know, I’ll just go over some basics + links (though I’m on mobile so you may have to copy + paste the links, sorry about that 🙁)

Loona is an upcoming 12-member girl group under BBC; they are nearing the end of an 18 month predebut program where they reveal the members one at a time + with subunits mixed in between!

We currently have 10 members and 2 subunits with the 11th member coming in just a few days!

The members so far (in order of reveal): Heejin, Hyunjin, Haseul, Yeojin, ViVi, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, Choerry, Yves, Chuu, and Gowon! Gowon’s MV isn’t out yet but we’ve gotten teasers.

The two subunits are Loona 1/3 (Heejin, Hyunjin, Haseul, Yeojin, and ViVi, though Yeojin didn’t participate bc she was still in middle school at the time) and Loona Odd Eye Circle (Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry). After M12 is revealed there will be one more subunit consisting of the last 4 members before the full group debut sometime later this year!

Here’s a link to a playlist consisting of all of the official music videos!:https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn2nfuATkZsQfG8no7wsG2t6GnYtAy8OB

It includes all solos + subunits + some special MVs in between!

Also, the greatest way to learn about Loona is to watch LoonaTV - it starts off with just Heejin, then the other members start appearing as they were revealed. There’s new episodes 6x a week and they’re all about a minute long so it doesn’t take too long to watch them all! Here’s a link to a playlist with all the LoonaTV episodes!:

https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn2nfuATkZsQzaTPcar9B0vPVO2a59hf5

Let me know if you have any other questions or if you’d like to hear some of the theories regarding the Loonaverse, because there’s A LOT and with each release it gets even deeper!

Sorry if this is really long lol I just LOVEEE introducing people to Loona 💜💜💜
