LOVER IS A DAY, the moment you realized you loved them ♡

- no matter how long you’d already been with him, this was the moment the feelings you had for him hit you like a truck

⋆·˚ ༘ * FLUFF AND MORE FLUFF, lil angsty on seungmins😖

BANG CHAN

Last night you had come over on a whim, texting Chan ‘why aren’t you asleep it’s 2am?’ And before he could text back you were already at his dorm, in your pjs ready to spend a comfy night beside him.

You actually hadn’t meant to fall asleep but the next morning when you opened your eyes, instead of seeing your own room you were met with Chan’s face facing yours.

You’ve seen his sleeping face before but something about waking up to it had your heart racing like never before. Eventually his eyes fluttered open and he smiled softly at you, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

You laugh and reply, “Channie, you’re so beautiful. I love you.” That catches him off guard but he immediately replies, “I love you too Y/n L/n”, and presses his lips onto yours

LEE MINHO

You don’t know what it was or how it happened but at the moment you were hanging off your bed holding onto the trash can next to your bed as your boyfriend comes back into the room with water and medicine.

“No offense but i don’t think you should’ve accepted the cookies your little cousin made”, he says handing you the water and sitting next to you. You accept the water and chug as much of it as you could afterwards wiping your mouth, “you’re probably right, unfortunately”, and lay your head on his shoulder.

A moment of peace and quiet sets the mood for you two, the only time you’ve had to relax since getting back home. “Thank you for taking care of me, I love you”, it took you a moment to realize what you’d said but before you could apologize, he beat you to it, grabbing your face and staring into your eyes, “I love you too Y/n”.

SEO CHANGBIN

Currently, you were at Changbin’s dorm watching him play hide and seek with his cousin’s 3 year old daughter. It surprised you to see how much his cousin’s depended on and trusted your boyfriend to watch their kid.

It felt different to watch him as he played and laughed with the 3-year old, you had never seen him like this before. He was playful yet gentle, it started making you wonder ‘what would he be like if it was his own kid?’.

“What are you thinking about in that pretty head of yours?”, Changbin asks, pulling you out of your thoughts as he kisses your head and sits next to you. For a moment you just stare at him, admiring him because in a matter of minutes everything about him just became way more attractive.

The way his hair was curly and natural, his face had not a spot of makeup, and he was only in sweats and a hoodie, it’s made your heart feel like it was going to jump out of your chest. “Y/n is everything okay?”, he asks grabbing your face and examining it to see if he could figure out what was wrong. “Seo Changbin, i’m in love with you and everything about yo-“, and before you could continue your rant he interrupts it by placing his lips on yours.

HWANG HYUNJIN

Hyunjin hadn’t seen you before the concert so he didn’t know you had gone all out like any other fan did, you had a poster with his name on it, an exact replica of your favorite concept outfit of his, and your lightstick bedazzled.

You decided not to look at the set list as to be surprised but hearing the beginning of red lights had you more shocked than you had ever been before. You’ve seen him perform red lights so many times (also watched the mv a billion times) but this time something about Hyunjin’s presence was different.

When they stopped performing and it was time for the boys to talk to stays, hyunjin immediately went to find your face in the crowd and as soon as he did you yelled, “I LOVE YOU HWANG HYUNJIN!”, causing him and the rest of his group to pause as they recognized your voice and it caught them off guard.

The rest of the group laughed trying to play it off while hyunjin picks up him mic and replies, “I love you too” and followed it with a wink. Videos of the interaction were everywhere and you were known as ‘the luckiest stay’ when in reality it was just an unforgettable moment between you and your boyfriend.

HAN JISUNG

“Jisung just let me in, PLEASE”, you beg to your boyfriend that’s on the other side of the kitchen door. “NO you cannot see this, it needs to be perfect for your birthday!”, he pleads, you could tell things weren’t going his way as for the past 30 minutes that you’ve been awake all you’ve heard are his frustrated huffs.

“Ji please, how long have you been in there for?”, you question and before he could answer Felix does it for him passing by behind you, “He’s been in there for the past 2 hours”. “Alright 2 hours is long enough, i’m coming in Ji”, you say and push open the door.

Looking around you can see tons of decorations that he had hung up and in the middle of the kitchen is your boyfriend that looks like he’s been through hell and back staring down at the floor. “Ji this is perfect why wouldn’t you let me come in?”, you say walking up to him and forcing him to look at you, “It’s not the decorations y/n, it’s the cake.”, he says and points to the table.

Looking at the cake you cover your mouth trying to hold in your laugh, “I asked Felix to help me bake you a cake but obviously I can’t even follow instructions”, the cake in front of you was lopsided because somehow only half of the cake baked fully.

You throw your arms over your boyfriend and give him a kiss on the cheek, “I love you Ji, thank you for trying.” His face immediately turns to yours, “You love me? But I ruined your birthday!” “You didn’t ruin anything, I promise. Now let’s try baking this cake again”, you laugh as he tackles your face in kisses at your confession.

LEE FELIX

One thing that you and felix always did when the weather was nice, was ride your bikes together. This time you guys had gone a little bit later than you usually did and got to witness the sunset during your whole ride.

Looking over to your boyfriend who’s inhaling the fresh air, you can tell he needed this. The golden sun leaving a warm feeling on your face but when you see Felix’s big smile, that warm feeling spreads to the rest of your body.

Finally stopping at a park, you guys have a good view of the sunset but you can’t seem to take your eyes off the blonde boy next to you. The golden rays of the sun completely maximizes the freckles on his perfectly tanned skin, you’re completely mesmerized by how one person can look so perfect.

You decide to pull your phone out to take pictures of him, this moment should be cherished forever. “Hey! You’re not even looking at the sunset!”, he whines once he notices that you had your phone out taking pictures of him. “I’d rather look at you honestly, you’re way prettier than any sunset Lix.”

KIM SEUNGMIN

Seungmin slammed the door behind him as he walked into the dorms, he had just got back from a meeting with the company, your relationship had been leaked. You had stayed in the same spot he left you in, your anxiety was through the roof after you had seen your guys’ face all over twitter.

You were nervous you didn’t know what words were going to come out of your boyfriend’s mouth. “They said we have to deny it. They already made the statement and everything, I tried to convince them but you know they wouldn’t budge.”, he angrily sighs as he sits next to you and puts his head in his hands.

You took a big deep breath in, “Did they say anything about us?”, it was a question you didn’t want to know the answer to nor want to ask but you had to. “They told us we shouldn’t see each other anymore and that this could ruin mine and the rest of the groups career and image.”, he says while keeping his head down.

You knew what JYP was like so while this answer didn’t surprise you it still hurt, so you get up to leave. “Y/n where are you going?”, “Seungmin the last thing I want is to get in the way of your dream so I think we should listen to them”, you explain as your voice gradually becomes more quiet.

He immediately jumps up and grabs your face, “Y/n you’re my dream, you’re all i’ve ever wanted and there’s no way in hell i’d let anyone, ESPECIALLY JYP, get in the way of that”, he stares straight into your eyes while tears begin to build up in his. You sniffle trying to hold back your tears, “If you really mean that seungie, then i’ll stay with you.” Although you felt it first he’s the one that had the courage to say it, “I love you Y/n”.

YANG JEONGIN

Walking into the coffee shop, you were immediately hit with the smell of baked goods and espresso beans, it was a smell that comforted you. You scanned around the room looking for your boyfriend but eventually you landed on his fox-like eyes staring right back at you excitedly.

You walk up to the table he’s sitting at and sit across from him, although you want to hug him you decide not to as you’re in public and don’t want to spread rumors. From just looking at him you could tell he was happy, he had a mask and hoodie on just like you did but nonetheless you were more than happy to be there with him.

The date mainly consisted of the two of you catching up as he had just finished his tour and sipping on your drinks. He also brought out a few bags of gifts that he got you while traveling across the globe, you both laughed at his silly antics and jokes, just enjoying each others company.

As Jeongin continues to talk you begin to study his face, every time you guys finally get to meet up after awhile it seems like he gets more and more attractive. Although you’ve both changed a lot in the while you’ve been dating, you realize he brought you a feeling more comforting than the coffee shop did and that moments like these with Jeongin were ones that you could get used to for the rest of your life.

April 3, 2022.

It takes a good two months before a year starts to pick up for me. The first big win was in the final frigid day of February when I decided to take the train to Greenpoint’s Academy Annex for some records; the first stop of what would be an amazing record-store victory tour. Then arrived March. I drove four miles to the shopping mall to look for leather jackets when I discovered a new retro- video arcade opened up. Within a few days I walk in and spent the entire day re-living my Atari / Nintendo / SNES youth. Those eight hours were a thoroughly exhaustive one. I saw games which I threw many rolls of quarters into, to others I only read about and fantasized even seeing up until then. The original Super Mario Bros. cabinet, The Neo Geo MVS, Outrun, R-Type, Taito’s Superman, Atari’s Star Wars. Most of every great moment of my youth spent in delis, card stores, ice cream parlors, long-gone restaurants, and amusement parks were now all in one room.

Good thing I went because my all-time favorite ginger April* made a rare appearance in my store and I had to tell her about it. She came in to buy some A/V components like she always does and we spent a good ten minutes catching up on everything. April was a fangirl and a hardcore gamer of all formats so I had to share the wealth of news with her. Too late. She already went. Still, every visit from her counted as she was the cutest thing of pale skin, glasses, and Irish ancestry I ever seen.

I had another holiday spent with my Coney Island family. My aunt invited me to her daughter’s house in East Meadow for Easter where they, her aggressive right-wing country-music loving Trump supporter sons, her sister, and all the offspring you could think of would be there. A great four hours were had coloring eggs, watching Disney’s Encanto on the big screen, and an endless feast of Italian food were laid out for all to gorge ourselves to death. Blessings were counted and they were enough to cash them in for a bright sunny Sunday. I also enjoyed the hour-long drive from East Meadow through Rt. 27 all the way home.

In between all this was a major event I was chasing for a while. It would be nice to attend a Boy Harsher show and they’ve been making the rounds in New York City quite often. I jumped at the opportunity to purchase tickets after their Halloween show and ultimately got them - only for January show to be postponed. Blame the COVID- omicron for it. But Jae & Augustus pushed it back to April and this time nothing was stopping them from performing nor anyone attending The Music Hall Of Williamsburg.

I learned that it was a two-hour ride each way from my line to Penn Station and back due to transfers at the Jamaica Station. Not good as I had to work a 10AM shift. This time, I opted to drive out to the Babylon stop for a direct line to Manhattan and back for fifty-five minutes each. I went up the stairs and waited only a few minutes before the train arrived on an elevated platform. Nothing special about the train ride on a cloudy mid-50* weather. The show, however, was a whole other story. Everyone enjoyed the opener Twin Tribes and the headlining Boy Harsher hands-down to great fanfare. I couldn’t have waited in line to get some merch- as, once again, someone had to ride home for tomorrow’s payday.

I reversed the path from The Music Hall- by taking the L and ½/3 line back to Penn Station. It just so happened that I missed my train home by three minutes and it cost me an hour more before the next one came in. As I mentioned before, no transfers. Just a direct line from Penn Station back to Babylon where the double-decker cars awaited us. A nice surprise for me sitting in the seats above to contemplate my next major win: Sacred Bones’ 15th anniversary show. It could only get better.

Fifteen years ago from this month, a new concept was born. I purchased a 30GB iPod Classic through a ‘friend’ of mine at WUSB. Since then, I loaded all of my music into it and took it through many train rides. The iPod Classic has retired in favor of my iPhone SE. What once became a distraction has now been an auditioning process for future Omega WUSB shows and seasonal personal playlists. Nothing is off limits. Noise, backpacker, jazz, fusion, shoegaze, noise rock, post-punk, electronics, hardcore - everything. Everything I discover gets played in hopes of either being featured or forever a part of me. With a near endless plethora of outlets, mutuals, and other ways of obtaining music, there’s almost never a moment of silence outside of work or sleep.

Harry's Style Evolution (by an actual stylist) Part 3: Fine Line Era! Part 2 of 2*

Gorlies I can't believe I hit pic limit on the first Fine Line Era post (I can believe it, I have so much to say.)

Anyway this is Harry's Style evolution part THREE part TWO (like how they made Breaking Dawn two movies ya get me?)

*PLEASE read part 1 first. That is linked HERE!

2020

January of 2020 feels like it was a lifetime ago, but here we are. Fine Line the album just came out in December and after preforming the full album twice, once in LA and once in London. Harry's back in London for award season.

The pics aren't revealed til later but H rings in the New Year in the INFAMOUS "But Daddy I Love Him" shirt <3

Later in January arrives at Radio one in a gorgeous Bode jacket carrying Gucci's Jackie purse.

But girls (gender neutral) get comfy because it's time for the Brit Awards and the look we need to talk about is this one.

LISTEN!!! The girls that get it GET IT! Because this was EVERYTHING EVERYTHING!!!

To DATE I think this is the best award show look he's ever worn, contending only with the leather suit at the Grammy. I really thought this was going to be the new style. It's sexy, it's slightly punk, it's BRIT POP references chock full!

The Mary Janes, the Brown suit with the purple sweater and blue lace color with the pearls and the HAIR! THE BRIT POP PUNK HAIR! This was *chefs kiss* I am absolutely devastated that we never got anything like her again.

Also at the Brit Awards he wears this yellow suit paired with purple necktie, and Treat People With Kindness pin. For his beautiful falling performance he wears a full lace ensemble including gloves. This night is also includes my blog name's origins.

Fine Line promo continues and Harry wears a myriad of cozy outfits.

In New York he wears a JW Anderson cardigan, later to become TikTok famous with the "Be Healthy, Eat Your Honey" shirt and Gucci jeans. Later he wears another sweater vest (staple of the FL Era,) and for NPR's Tiny Desk he wears a Gucci mohair sweater.

At the beginning of the end March 2020 Harry's shoot for Beauty Papers comes out. One of my FAVORITE editorials he's ever in.

These photos are gorgeous, camp, sexy, kind of eerie. He's photographed and directed by Casper Sejersen who I think absolutely killed it. Beauty Papers always has amazing queer camp shoots and I highly recommend paying attention to them.

The world goes into lockdown and H releases the previously recorded "Watermelon Sugar" music video "Dedicated to touching."

Most of the ensemble is Gucci but some pieces were vintage thrifted including the loose-knit tank (right.)

Harry grows out his facial hair and becomes even sexier somehow.

Like fr. This is the hottest he's ever been. Left he wears a hoodie that he made himself printed with photographs of philosopher Alain de Botton, and paired with the vintage military jacket he was wearing in Japan during 2019. Middle I just think this pic of him is so hot, and right he wears a custom Bode shirt.

September 2020 Harry becomes the first man to ever be on the cover of Vogue!

Y'all I was so excited when this first came out. So imagine when I opened the magazine and saw the absolute trash outfits they put him in for it. Like literally all of these outfits are some of the worst he's ever worn. Like honey clean up! Vogue is here!

The only piece I adored from this whole shoot was the custom Bode pants. Bode has a chokehold on me and I wish Harry L would've featured more of them in this shoot.

In October of 2020...

The MV for Golden is released after being filmed in Italy and heavily features both Gucci and S.S. Daley pieces. The Eliou necklaces he covets make their first official debut in this video as well.

In November he films (released in December) this performance for iHeartRadio. He's wearing head to toe Gucci with a custom Eliou necklace. His hair and this performance is so dreamy. (Left)

He also starts filming Don't Worry Darling *crowd boos* and among his cozy on set looks this is my favorite. The pictures of him this day really made me go gaga. He wears a Free & Easy shirt paired with Elder Statesmen sweatpants and New Balance sneakers.

2021

It's 2021 baby! Harry rings in the new year by releasing the video for TPWK with Phoebe Waller Bridge

We're jumping to March 2021, I'm scared to hit pic limit again lol, with the GRAMMYS!

Harry wore three! outfits to the Grammy's where he took home his first ever Grammy for Song of the Year. All three looks were Gucci and all featured feather boas which he never wore again! Which is odd because it really seemed like it was going to be a tour staple, but wasn't!

Throughout the summer and into fall his personal style is very casual, this makes sense. We're still in a pandemic and everyone is trending to a more casual fit sense. I had to include the pink beanie because every time I remember that it's $112 I go inside. Girl I got the same one for like $10 from Forever21 5 years ago!

April/May

In April Harry stars in a Gucci campaign along with many other celebs (left,) he also attends the Brit awards in May (Right) wearing a Gucci ensemble that isn't bad but is nothing to write home about. This is the first time we see him in Gucci Gazelle sneakers which will later become a staple.

September the long awaited Love on Tour officially starts!

The tour kicks off in Las Vegas with a fun sparkly Gucci outfit, and continues with these suspender/open shirts/high waisted pants that we saw on the Fine Line cover. These outfits are underwhelming but do ultimately make sense.

The tour outfits really do blend together, the full collection can be found HERE, so here are three of my favorites <3

We'll end our Fine Line coverage with the first annual Harryween!

Harry wore custom Gucci ensembles for both, one dressing as Dorothy and one dressing as a pierrot.

Next is Harry's House Era!

Thank you again for all the love, and for bearing with me when I had to split these into two parts!

AGAIN PART ONE IS HERE!

See you next time <3

L-Pop on Disney + ep4-6 Recap/Review

So legitimately this is one of my favorite shows Disney+ Latin America has done. Did not see that on my 2023 Bingo card!

Ep4 - It’s the qualifier episode so we get more performances this time which was a lot of fun and just what I was hoping for. Sweet Ji-Won making Andrea an ugly poster - they are just the dumbest and cutest. Ofc the group is being absolutely insane as they prep. We got Indra with her sage, Tomas trying to hug Ji-Won, and them memorizing capitals to calm their nerves. The sillies are so silly. I’m just honestly having a good time. And the they miss the cut …by 1!

Ep5 - Obviously they weren’t going to stay down for long. Absolutely dying at Tomás not showering for days so he can scrub thru the videos to find the other team that cheated to get disqualified. And then Hye-Jin using her wits to blackmail the competition lady so she actually would disqualify them. I’m just obsessed with this group. They’re all absolutely insane and lovable. I love how invested everyone is in Ji-Won and Andrea’s relationship too - as am I!! They’re so adorable also the fact that he’s always bringing her food to flirt I’m 😭.

The scene with them filming their music video!! First the hilarity of them trying to scale the wall when Indra walks through an open gate 😂 and then the MV was really good! The song kind of reminded me of Dynamite by BTS lmao. I’m curious if we’ll get these songs on Spotify they’re all stuck in my head now (ticky ticky toc toc) . Also props to the director keeping the Pablo bit going even when they were all running away from the cop and still blocking Pablo’s face with his camera 🤭

Ep6 - The big finale already and I’m just sad this is already ending. But Andrea convincing Sylvana to stay and encouraging the team by showing her talent show video and them all agreeing to call the team L-Pop why are they all so cute?! The vintage shop scene was adorable and the whole group getting caught watching Andrea/Ji-Won again, it never stops being funny. And I really love that Pau always encourages Andrea with K-Pop even tho it’s clearly not her thing 🥲 and just always shaking her head at the parents pushing her into dentistry. Ugh supportive sisters got me 🥺

Idk what’s going on with Diego, like is he supposed to be flirting with Andrea bc I can’t. Im so glad Ji-Won finally made his move tho!! But ah that cliffhanger — I need a s2 stat!

Anyway this show was just good vibes, good heart, cringey but proud! 10/10 highly recommend for anyone with any fan obsession that should get them institutionalized 😍

[gggoldfinch]

My little tiny sad brain can’t handle trying to absorb new things right now but I am curious. Can you spoon feed sales pitch explain rammestein like I’m five?

THIS MADE ME GIGGLE SO FUCKING HARD oh god I’m tearing up idk why this is so funny LMAO

I love talking about things I’m into to people on the internet, so yes I can absolutely sales pitch explain Rammstein to you anon. This may be a little too long-winded but I’m insane so you have to forgive me… (tldr at the end)

Okay so,, basically: Rammstein is a German industrial metal band formed in 1994, consisting of lead singer Till Lindemann, guitarists Richard Z. Kruspe and Paul Landers, bassist Oliver Riedel, synth/keyboardist Christian Lorenz (aka Flake or Dr Lorenz), and drummer Christoph Schneider.

They lean heavy on performative violence and pyrotechnics during shows (i.e. Till bashing his head against things, Till “cooking” Flake alive in a cauldron with an actual flame thrower, etc… also Till is kinda insane ?? homeboy frequently puts himself through intense physical pain, possibly bordering on self-mutilation, all for shits and gigs??). There is also a fair amount of sexually explicit lyrics, and occasionally visuals (Till and Flake once got arrested for emulating gay sex on stage despite being fully clothed— which is fucking hilarious).

Basically, they’re a bunch of old(ish) german guys having questionably explicit fun, and I’m completely infatuated. They’re also kindaaaaa 👀 HDJKDKFLF…… Anyway, one of their songs, “Sonne” has been trending on tiktok lately (as songs tend to do), so chances are if you have tiktok you’ve probably heard it. Their music videos are fucking wild too— my favorite mvs are “Angst,” “Adieu,” and “Deutschland.” Also Till’s solo “Ich hasse Kinder” mv fuckin slapssss. The mvs, especially the more recent ones, are shot with movie level quality and, though often bizarre and slightly unsettling, are definitely worth a viewing.

They’re kinda always dirty and grimy and covered in soot on stage (presumably both for the aesthetic and because of the extensive use of serious pyrotechnics), in addition to wearing makeup and outlandish costumes (when not shirtless), and are just a bunch of goofballs tbh. They dance around and bully each other on stage— it’s pretty entertaining to watch. Unfortunately they’re not touring the US rn so I can’t cop a ticket, but when they do come back around I can only hope to get my eyebrows scorched off in the pit. And, if you ever see me posting about a super beefy dude with a lot of facial piercings, usually sweaty and gross looking, that’s my beloved Till. I admittedly have a big fat crush on him (and also Richard and Paul) 🤷🏻‍♀️

So, tldr: they’re an off-color German industrial metal group, not particularly for the faint of heart.

(For reference here’s a pic from 2001; L->R: Oliver, Flake, Paul, Till, Chris, Richard)

[struggle-but-its-all-ocean-floor]

Just had the realization that I prefer Left and Right to Euphoria. One comes after each other in my JK playlist and it was weird to realize I like L&R more. The thing is I've never been the biggest Euphoria fan. When I was a baby Army and listened to it for the first time, I thought it was generic and that Serendipity was better. I only started enjoying Euphoria after seeing the live performance, which is truly magical (JK flying over the fans and serenading them is iconic). I actually love the piano version though. I used to listen to it a lot. It's so comforting and pretty, and the "MV" is so cute. Plus, Euphoria has nice lyrics and it's kind of a fan song, and I love Jungkook's vocals. However, I HATE the chorus. That sound in the bg that sounds like cocking a gun but with autotune is just awful imo. The song is way too EDM for me. I have the same issue with Magic Shop - pretty song, hate that DJ Swivel produced it. That's why the piano and live versions of Euphoria are much prettier, because Jungkook's delicate vocals shine more.

I just checked out the BTS songs DJ Swivel helped write or produce: Love Maze, Magic Shop, Euphoria, I'm Fine, Answer: Love Myself, Mikrokosmos, Heartbeat, Moon, We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal. I honestly only love Heartbeat. I like Love Maze but it's not a favorite, and WAB: The Eternal and Mikrokosmos are pretty but only so-so. I know these songs are fan favorites but they're not mine. DJ Swivel only produced Euphoria, Magic Shop and Heartbeat, but most songs he participated in have the same issue for me. In theory, they sound pretty but they're also too much - too preppy and high-pitched...

No one asked, but since I like ranking stuff, this is how I would rank Jungkook's solo songs (including L&R, because, why not):

My Time: Vocal perfection. Those vocals runs in the end are *chef's kiss*. Jungkook popped off.

Still With You: Also vocal perfection. The acapella version is what you hear at the gates of heaven.

Stay Alive: Completes the Jungkook vocal trifecta. It might even be his best work, which shows how much he's always evolving.

Dreamers

Left and Right

Euphoria

Begin: Even if the lyrics are super sweet, the song is too one-tone and like a weird EDM (is it EDM, sorry I'm dumb) and RnB mix.

Am I alone in finding Euphoria *oVErraTEd*? I think most people would rank Still With You above My Time, and place Euphoria at the top, but I think almost everyone would also put Begin at the bottom, along with Dreamers and Left and Right?

debunking this

leo/need

they unpopularity have nothing to do with the designs of the characters and more the style in which they perform. l/n is a band and in bands they have one lead singer (in this case ichika) from my time in the fandom (which is 2 years) i’ve notice LOTS of people complain about how they don’t like how ichika sing all of the l/n songs. secondly also having to do with styling again i’ve noticed people complain about the mv’s and how they are “boring” also lots of people dislike ichika for her being sega’s “favorite” (due to her being on the cover of the game in multiple loading screens) also they don’t stand out much due to their muted color palate and that is the ONLY thing that contains their character designs also the reason saki is popular is because of her illness and honami is only viewed as “kanade’s caretaker 🥺🥺🥺” which is sooo surface level

more more jump

there is no bias against the girls here there isn’t any bias against any girls why do you think n25 is so popular??? also more more jump is all about being idols and sparkles and glitter if you read the story you would know that they have WAY more depth than just glitter sparkles and cute idol poses and also the fandom “not knowing how to step into the shoes of an idol” is stupid they don’t want to read the stories because a lot of them are illiterate and the reason they are more popular is because they have a more upbeat theme and more eye catching and interesting mv’s and upbeat and catchy songs

vivid bad squad

the point with the two guys is true because it’s a lot more common for people to fetishize and like yaoi also anhane is NOT the most conan in relationship again the fandom is fucking illiterate the most common is minoharu but people ignore them due to their lack of popularity also i have not seen people like vivid for the mlm and wlw dynamic AGAIN ITS THE STYLE OF THE GROUP vbs is a very upbeat colorful eye catching group and a lot of fans like that because if something catches your eye you usually pay more attention to it also the game doesn’t divide vbs into two groups (vivids and bad dogs) the two groups came together and formed a group and their entire story is about getting closer together AS A ENTIRE GROUP also again not popular because they are relatable if you like a character you don’t just take them at face value you actually learn about them and study them also toya is WAYY more popular than an and it’s wild that you think otherwise

wonderlandsxshowtime

WXS IS BY VERY FAR WAY MORE POPULAR THAN NIGHTCORD and no it’s not because they have men it’s because of their bight colorful theme fun mv’s and catchy songs they also have an AMAZING cast of voices also the fandom loves to mischaracterize all of them including you!!! they view EVERY SINGLE THING related to tsukasa as a way to make him angsty and cry and it’s honestly so annoying and they treat emu like a little baby not a 17 YEAR OLD and rui as you did in your post is way to mischaracterized as a “silly guy” and he’s taken at face value and not looked into also nene is view as annoying by most of the fandom due to her being shyer than the rest and not as loud or eye catching and also the group never said that they didn’t plan on staying together l/n could easily break up why doesn’t the fandom like them so can mmj also rui having implied autism doesn’t affect the popularity AT ALL also from my 2 years with the fandom rui is NOT VIEWED GENDER NEUTRALLY

nightcord at 25:00

their use of “discord” has nothing to do with their popularity they are popular because one again THEY STAND OUT compared to all the more upbeat groups they have a more somber vibe than the rest also mizuki ONLY contributes to the popular because of their gender discourse and weather they are a guy/girl/other (i am saying this as a mizuki fan i’ve loved them since the start) also having trans coded characters in games weren’t that common but i’m starting to see more of it also the shinonome siblings have NOTHING to do with how popular each group is it is unnecessary and honestly unimportant to the argument you are making. Also nightcord is usually viewed as the depressed group and i HATE IT and the entire reason for their story is to get AWAY from the sadness and the fandom just LOVES trying them down to it

also no hate to OP but you were FARoff from “scratching the surface” it was like you were at a different surface completely this is why people who haven’t read the stories shouldn’t have opinions

ermmmm here’s why i think the different project sekai groups have the popularity they have

this isn’t based on their event stories or main stories. i haven’t read any for any of the groups.

leo/need (least popular)

the characters are fairly normal looking. unlike the rest of the groups, the characters (apart from saki) have hair colors that could be considered natural hair. (ichika’s on thin ice.) don’t get me wrong, i LOVE leonii’s designs. but most people want something more stylized.

unfortunately, there’s some misogyny to put into perspective here. especially when you consider saki has a brother who is infinitely more popular than she is.

the school theme. most people are sick of school, so to have a band whose unit outfits (especially post-3rd anni) are very school uniform-esque will hinder its popularity.

more more JUMP! (less popular, but moreso than leonii)

again, there’s a bias against the girls of the game. they aren’t connected to any male characters, so people unfortunately tend to blip over them.

having a group of internationally (?) known idols isn’t super relatable to the average person. i know that’s not what momojan is about, but post project sekai players have no clue how to step into the shoes of an idol.

they’re slightly more popular that leonii, i believe, because they’re not school themed. that’s all i can think of.

both leonii and momojan deserve more attention, to me

vivid BAD SQUAD (average popularity)

there’s guys in the group. i’m just gonna state it now. there’s two guys, and people care an unhealthy amount for the yaoi.

anhane is one of, if not the most canon relationships. that’s not to say there are no relationships in leonii or momojan (because there definitely are), but anhane is one of the most explicit.

as i stated just now, people like the MLM/WLW dynamic in the group. unfortunately the fandom (and the game to a degree) tend to divide this unit into the vivids and the bad dogs.

the characters are, generally, more relatable just due to their casual style of dress and speech. kohane and toya less so, but akian are especially casual and many people, i can imagine, would relate to that.

wonderlands x showtime (tied with niigo for most popular)

like i said about vivibad, there’s men. this fandom has some sort of misogyny problem.

bright colors.

the fabled disbandment arc draws a lot of people in, since it’s the only group that doesn’t focus on staying together.

rui is one of the most blatant autism allegories in the game. (i had a rui hyperfixation, so there may be characters who also present this allegory but he’s the most explicit to me)

rui also is viewed in an extremely gender-neutral way by the fandom. he’s the fuckgender little meow meow.

nightcord at 25:00 (tied with wansho for most popular)

the use of discord as their get-together platform. it’s a situation many of us could put ourselves in, and likely one some of us are in.

mizuki is a trans girl. now, you can view the other characters pretty much any way you like, but mizuki is canonically trans. a transgender character this explicit in this style of media isn’t common.

the shinonome siblings. ena and akito have the sibling dynamic that, of the three in the game, most people will be able to relate to.

the depression. niigo’s story weaves a tapestry of, like the aptly named event, elpis at the depths of despair. they all need serious help. they’re the most angsty group.

i really wish i had more to say here but i physically cannot sit through the stories so i have to scratch the surface

NSFW Alphabet - Yang Jeongin (m)

A - Aftercare

Despite being on the more inexperienced side, I think Jeongin is responsible enough to know that aftercare is a must following sex, whether it be making sure you both are properly hydrated or helping you change the bed sheets. Because he’s usually babied by his members, this sweet boy treasures each moment he’s able to take care of you for a change though he won’t say no if you request to be the bigger spoon for a night or two.

B - Body Part

Seeing as our dear maknae has apparently gotten buff somewhere over the years, he likely takes pride in his biceps and arms in general as he damn well should. We’ll go more in depth about it later, but let’s just say Innie likes to use his strength in more ways than one… Moving on, Jeongin will never not be a fan of your neck. Mans has a bit of a marking tendency, but hormones aside, Jeongin’s in love with your scent, which seems to be more pungent around thah area. Plus, the crook of your neck also makes a good hiding place when he’s shy.

C - Cum

The only place this man’s cumming is in a condom. He may not be a baby anymore, but he doesn’t want any other baby Jeongins showing up anytime soon. Changbin is already a handful enough as it is…

D - Dirty Secret

Now it’s a bit out of the element here, but Jeongin sometimes gets tired of being coddled by his members. That being said, he’s had some fantasies about proving his growness—fantasies that may or may not include getting caught eating you out until you’re a literal puddle by Chan or Hyunjin, or maybe fucking you into the wall just in time for Changbin or Seungmin to walk through the door. Not wanting to disrespect you or anything, he prefers to keep these thoughts to himself… just don’t ask questions if he starts to get a little handsy during movie nights with the other boys.

E - Experience

Like most of the younger Stray Kids members, I don’t think he has too much sexual experience. He’s probably made out with a girl or two over the years, maybe felt her up a bit, but that’s as far as his hands-on exploration goes. Even so, he probably has a general idea of how things are supposed to go, generously provided by stories from his members and the wonders of porn.

F - Favorite Position

Due to his lack of sexual practice, Jeongin probably has not found his all-time favorite position just yet. He’s eager to try everything he possibly can, so expect to be blown away literally every time y’all do the do.

G - Goofy

Jeongin doesn’t mind getting a little silly during sex every once and a while, but he also knows that a more sensual, serious mood is needed too. The first few times will definitely be more casual and light-hearted, kept alive by his playful grin and mischevious fingers. But even as you two begin to become more mature, that same youthful atmosphere will remain, making it feel like the first time every time.

H - Hair

He probably just lets it do it’s own thing honestly. As long as it doesn’t get too unruly, he doesn’t mind it all that much.

I - Intimacy

Seeing he’s likely never been in a serious relationship before you, he’s all about the ideal, romantic aspect of love making. And while there won’t necessarily be rose petals and silk sheets every time you guys have sex, he knows how to make you feel loved and wanted with just his touch alone. Eye contact is also a huge must for Jeongin—he needs to see your face in the moment, to watch the pleasure overtake your body as he brings you to a headspace only few have the privilege to witness. It may sound cheesy, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he has a secret plan to marry you one day, already knowing you’re his forever person.

J - Jack Off

Innie is young, so it’s no surprise his hormones are a bit on the overwhelming side at times. For him, getting off largely depends on if and when he has a moment to himself, which is quite rare between his busy schedule and lack of privacy in the dorm. That being said, he probably masturbates no more than three times a week. If that.

K - Kink

Alright hoes, I’m gonna start this off by saying Jeongin damn well has some sort of strength kink. We’ve all seen the size of those arms. Now he wouldn’t necessarily manhandle you, but if the moment requires him to pick you up by your thighs, or maybe pin your wrists to the bed cause you’re getting a little too frisky, then a man’s gotta do what he’s gotta do. He also has a HUGE thing when you get all dressed up for him, whether it be in a dress/suit or a lingerie set. Some other honorable mentions of his include marking, praise, and the occasional teasing.

L - Location

Please, please, PLEASE let this man take you against the wall, or anywhere that lets him show off his strength. He turns into some type of beast, I swear—Bonus points if y’all have the dorm to yourselves, because then he will literally take you against every single surface…

M - Motivation

The second you compliment him, this man will be literal putty in your hands. He loves, and I mean LOVES, when you praise him for his stage performances or MV scenes. And don’t let him catch you watching his fancams… or else prepared to get dicked into next year~

N - NO

BDSM is completely off the table for Jeongin. While he doesn’t mind trying something new every so often, he’s just not comfortable treading into the kind of intense territory that would require use of a safe word. He’s also just not a fan of power dynamics in general.

O - Oral

Sorry fam, oral is just not it for Jeongin. It’s nothing against you, he just doesn’t prefer blow jobs because of his tendency to finish too early, and he’d much rather practice other methods of foreplay to get you both off.

P - Pace

In the beginning stages of your relationship, Innie used to utilize a rapid, sloppy pace. After obtaining more experience, his stroke game is much, much better and more fluid, though he sometimes tends to revert back to an awkward pace when he’s close to climax. But like everyone, his skill and confidence will grow more over time.

Q - Quickie

The only time he’ll settle for a quickie is if he’s completely and totally desperate for your touch. But even then, he needs to be sure your session will take place in an environment that is both private and isolated from any other people. But once he’s comfortable and secure, he’ll drive you into the nearest wall with no further hesitation whatsoever.

R - Risk

Nope, nope, nopity, nope. While the idea of getting caught makes him feel all the things, Jeongin would rather not risk anyone actually walking in on you two when you’re being less than innocent. Especially his members, because if they do, he knows he’ll never hear the end of it.

S - Stamina

He’s got pretty decent stamina. Jeongin can usually go for some foreplay and maybe two rounds depending on how exhausted he is from his schedule. Then again, on days he is a bit more on the tired side, he wouldn’t mind sitting back and letting you do most the work.

T - Toy

The most curious boy omg. Innie’s experience with toys probably stems from porn and the dark side of Reddit, so he’ll be utterly fascinated if you own any nifty gadgets of your own. And while I don’t think he’d actively shop for sex toys, he doesn’t mind spicing things up in the bedroom with a couple vibrators, restraints, or sensation play objects.

U - Unfair

Don’t let his adorable facade fool you—this boy can be the WORST tease on any given day. He’s the type of lover that will suggestively trail his hands across your breasts and thighs, then act all innocent when you call him out. Jeongin is also an expert in getting you to tell him what he wants to hear. For example, “You want me to make you cum, baby? How exactly do you want me to do that?…”

V - Volume

Honestly, this man is a moaning machine. And you may hear some cute little whimpers and whines in that mix too… At first, he was probably a bit bashful to make any noise in that context, but after some coaxing and needed praise from you, he’ll never try to be silent again.

W - Wild Card

Let me set the scene for you: You and Innie watching some horribly budgeted rom-com you found on Netflix, and literally just making fun of the entire movie. That is, until the two main leads start making out in the back of a car. Oh, this shuts you both right up, especially when clothes start coming off and the car windows begin to steam up. The scene ends eventually, but this awkward, sexually tense silence still remains between you and Jeongin, and when you look to your blushing lover, you find him poorly attempting to cover his raging hard on. Then, he clears his throat and cutely stutters, “S-So… You wanna… you know?…”

X - X-ray

He’s a bit below average: 4.5-5 inches. But he’s got some thickness to his name.

Y - Yearning

As already mentioned, Innie tends to hold back in regards to his sexual needs for fear of coming across as a horn dog. You two probably do the nasty at least once a week, but I guarantee you can raise that number if you sit your boyfriend down and explain the concept of a mutually beneficial relationship huehuehue.

Z - ZZZzzz

If there’s one thing that Jeongin loves most in the world, it’s being in your arms after a long and stressful day. Whether or not you choose to end the night with an orgasm or two, he’ll settle himself atop your body, using your breasts as his own personal pillows, and just let his tension melt away in the comforting warmth of your touch. And though he’d never admit it, sometimes he doesn’t really mind being babied after all…

Kpop title track ranking: INFINITE

In this series I’ll be ranking kpop groups/soloists title tracks based on my taste.

So, YouTube led me to Infinite after a while and I decided why not bring one of my older ultimate groups to the front line! I absolutely love Infinite to bits even today after them not being active in years already. Their music just is so so good and they were such a hilarious bunch together. I’m always happy to get my Infinite crumbs on Instagram when the guys post some pictures of them supporting each others works and stuff. But okay let’s stop this loving ramble and get on to the listing!

Note: Infinite’s singles are confusing, so I’ll just count them as title tracks as they seem to have been promoting them.

Destiny - Destiny, my ultimate love. I don’t remember this for sure but I think this was the first Infinite song I heard and probably also the first one I started liking. And it just hasn’t ever stopped being captivating to me. The attitude in it is just something I can’t find in anywhere else. I just love Destiny and it just has to be the one I call my number 1.

Back - Was I blessed to have this as my first Infinite comeback after starting to love them? Oh boy I was. Is it even legal for a song to be this good? Pulling all my heartstrings with no mercy. Just so incredible song.

Paradise - Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. I just love Paradise. All of it. Lyrics. Instrumentals. Vocals. Raps. Choreography (and this is a lot coming from someone who doesn’t really retain much memories of dances). Just all of it.

Last Romeo - Another one of my absolute loves. Probably has something to do with the MV having Woohyun as the main lead for the acting. But that aside, the song is just incredible and it just sounds great even now that years have gone by.  

Bad - This was such a different style for them. But I was and still am all up for it. One thing: I rarely have specific parts or lines in songs that I like above all else but in this song there are two! This L’s part and in some of the live versions this Woohyun’s ad-lib he did continuing the note, it just so so good. Also I absolutely love them, mostly Woohyun, singing that “Bad bad bet a bad bad girl” part in some end of the year performances. 

The Chaser - I feel like a lot of people would put this as their favorite Infinite song. And I mean I can’t blame them for that. It is just so catchy and so flawlessly good. I had such a blast listening to it for this list now and it did go a bit higher than if I had done the list without listening to the songs first. And I had to put this version of the MV here because I want to mention how much I love the intro Infinitize, it’s just sooooo good!

The Eye - What can I say, just a gorgeous song. It’s just bittersweet that this ended up being the last OT7 song. Also, for some reason I ended up absolutely adoring the Japanese version of this song as well. Not anything new with Infinite in general as I’ve liked multiple of their older b-sides in both languages but it being a newer title track I was a little surprised.

Be Mine - I’m so glad that Be Mine exists. Without it Infinite would have been way shorter lived group than the Infinite we now know. And it is soooo catchy! Kpop classic for a reason!

Come Back Again - What a debut! This song is from 2010 and I’m still get so hyped when I hear it. It hasn’t aged terribly like undoubtedly some other song from that era (or I’m just incredibly biased here and I can’t see through it at all xD). 

Man In Love - The MV though! I love it, it’s so adorable! And surely this is my favorite of the cutesy songs.

BTD - The album this one is in was my first Infinite album that I got, so it gives it a little extra boost I have to admit but I try to stay somehow logical with this xD It still is a really cool song. And the scorpion dance still today is cool to me xD

Tell Me -  Bittersweet part 2 here, being the first song with six of them. It’s great like one would expect from Infinite but it has gotten less listens with me than the ones above, so I feel like the placement is quite fair.

Clock - And the last Infinite title track, hopefully only for now and some day there being a new song coming our way (this little Inspirit can hope, right?). The song missing Sunggyu’s voice is obviously a downside to it but then again on the positive side I feel like Sungyeol and Sungjong got more time to shine than before so that’s great.

Nothing’s Over - Okay the trend is clear: the cutesy Infinite is definitely going to be keeping the bottom end of this list. For me the cutesy stuff is more for watching the MV’s than actively listening to the songs xD Nothing wrong with Nothing’s Over either and if I’d be in the mood for it, sure, but I’m more rarely in the mood for this, I guess.

She’s Back - Well just compared to all of the other songs in this list this falls a bit short for me. It’s cute and I have listened to this one quite a bit too throughout the years but it has never been my top favorites from them. But that’s just me. If you are feeling like listening to something cute, give it a listen!

No kidding I love Infinite’s discography so so much (and not just the title tracks). Putting these songs in any order is just ridiculously hard and just plain stupid. They are all great and they all have aged well, so if you haven’t please do check their songs out! On that note, I would like to add a couple of recommendations for their Japanese songs and b-sides. Of the original Japanese songs DNA is so cool and Just Another Lonely Night is one of my favorite songs from Infinite overall! Of the Korean b-sides, I would like to mention 1/3 (and check also the concert version of this, it’s so fun!), rock-style song I Hate and Moonlight, which also happens to have one of those rare specific favorite parts for me, being Sungyeol’s chorus part.

Late Stage Swiftgron Part 1

Update from November 2021 - I really don’t believe much of this is meaningful at all.  I don’t think they’re sitting around referencing one another on social media or anything but some of Dianna’s interactions with Karlie are interesting Dianna shows up explicitly in Taylor’s life a couple more times so I’m leaving these sections here.;

From here on out everything but the 2014 AMAs and Dianna’s somewhat shocking appearance at Taylor’s 2019 SNL performance are just odd social media shenanigans (or subtweets) between the two, and Taylor appearing to release at least one more song about Dianna (Babe in 2018) (and let’s be honest you can make a strong argument for The 1 being about Dianna as well other post 1989 songs.)

Some of this might be complete crack or coincidence but as you all know I want this to be the most thorough Swiftgron document possible.  

If anything it proves they both certainly still have similar interests and they really do seem to be in touch.

There are some interactions claimed by others to be Swiftgron related that I’m not going to include because they’re just a bit too reachy for me (though I completely support the theorizing!) but in general, if I personally can see the hint of a Swiftgron connection, I’m going to include it here. Draw your own conclusions and take everything, particularly the alleged subtweets/social media shenanigans, with a grain of salt.

And yes there’s tons of Kaylor and other Gaylor/Gaygron content that will be left out of this segment because this masterpost is focused on Swiftgron.  Someday it would be cool to make a giant masterpost/timeline that documents all of it, but for now it’s just going to be Swiftgron stuff. August 26, 2014 - Dianna tweets, and then deletes “Withdrawals, clearly…we had fun.” 

There’s no screen shot of this tweet but some retweets/responses of it remain:

If Dianna is indeed referencing the song Clean (in which their relationship is compared to an addiction hence, “withdrawals” from it) then Taylor would have had to give her advanced knowledge of the song since 1989 did not come out until October 2014.

Taylor did claim she ran 1989 by the muse that inspired it and they were both in LA in late August 2014. Maybe this is when.

November 1, 2014 - Taylor posts about Clean

November 19, 2014 - The 2014 AMAs Kaylorgron Explosion Extravaganza:

Taylor, Karlie, and Dianna are at the event.  Taylor and Karlie are clearly on a date and Dianna is there to present Sam Smith’s performance of I’m not the only one.  Dianna seems a bit out of her element/gloomy when interviewed on the red carpet and Taylor flexes Karlie hard, dancing with her throughout the night and even sitting on her lap during an interview.

Click here for photos, video, gifs, and a live L chat reaction to the night.

December 28, 2014 - The writer for the tv show The Originals, Carina Mackenzie, tweeted that 1989 was about Dianna:

It’s of course notable that someone in the industry is “confirming” Swiftgron on main (particularly before gaylor went mainstream with Kaylor being so obvious in 2015/2016) however what’s even more interesting and notable about this tweet is that an actor named Michael Trevino was on the show The Originals and he dated Jenna Ushkowitz from 2011-2014.

Not only that but Michael was at Dianna’s 26th birthday when Taylor was in attendance as well.

It’s possible that Michael witnessed Swiftgron in real life and spilled a bit to the writer of the TV show he was on.

January 5, 2015 - Taylor likes a Swiftgron related post on Tumblr of Dianna saying she’d go on the road with Taylor and carry her bags at the Giffoni Film Festival in 2012:

February 9, 2015 - Style is released as a single

February 13, 2015 - The Kaylor “Best Friends” on a road trip Vogue Spread comes out.  You’re probably familiar with it but if you aren’t google it.  It’s incredibly romantic and pda filled.

The Style music video is released on this day as well.

We don’t have to go through the whole video but one egg I just have to note is the cave pictured in the MV is in Morocco the same country Dianna seemed to flee to after Swiftgron was outed:

February 14, 2015 - Dianna tweets 143 remember those days (for some reason it has not been deleted) seemingly in response to the Kaylor vogue shoot:

143 is a code that means “I love you” that originated from Mister Rogers.  Both Taylor and Dianna have publicly shown that they are fans of his.  Taylor has even made certain songs 3 minutes and 41 seconds long seemingly referring to this number and wore a Mister Rogers pin on a jacket for a photoshoot once.

Here’s a bit more in depth analysis on the significance of the 143 post.

This tweet is how we know that it is 100% in Dianna’s character to occasionally subtweet Taylor and why a lot of this social media analysis has been done.  

February 16, 2015 - Just two days later Dianna attends a fashion show in which Karlie walks and is noted to “have kept a smirk on her face” during.  Dianna doesn’t clap at the end of the show and looks miserable in photos of the event:

February 17, 2015 - Taylor releases Wonderland

I’m going to pause here and discuss the song Wonderland for a brief moment because it is some of the most incredibly airtight evidence for Swiftgron available.

Dianna’s favorite book of all time is Alice in Wonderland.  She brought it up in interviews all the time, tweeted about it, auctioned off a signed copy of it for charity, her private Tumblr and instagram account are called whosirmesir which is a reference to it, her private Tumblr is filled with reblogs about Alice, and her public Tumblr was called fell down the rabbit hole.

So the fact that Taylor writes an entire song describing a relationship through the lens of and packing full of references to Alice in Wonderland is incredibly interesting.

Let’s take a look at some of these lyrics:

Flashing lights and we, took a wrong turn and we Fell down the rabbit hole (literally Dianna’s tumblr name and url)

Didn't you flash your green eyes at me (Dianna is famous for her beautiful almost hypnotic green eyes and yes they are green)

Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds (queer coded)

Too in love to think straight (queer coded)

But there were strangers watching And whispers turned to talking And talking turned to screams (seems to reference when they were outed) You searched the world for something else (Dianna very publicly went travelling around the world right after April 2013 when they seem to break up)

Taylor literally put Dianna’s Tumblr URL in the song.  Frankly I’m kind of shocked she released this song at all it is so obviously and clearly about Dianna.  Truly a Swiftgron anthem!

Back to the timeline...

March 8, 2015 - Taylor posts Flamingos for her dad’s birthday:

The caption was “Happy Birthday, Dad. Thanks for all the unconditional love, sarcastic comments, and interesting Christmas presents.”

May 1, 2015 - Dianna posts a flamingo for her birthday (post is now deleted):

The caption was “This is 29. Spoiled rotten. Funny enough, at work they were painting the hallways white and the roses (hallway doors) red, then I actually went to Wonderland (@AliceUnderLdn) and came home to a surprise flamingo. Here we go. Another year around the sun…feeling lucky and loved and loved and lucky.”

Taylor also gave Emily, another rumored ex, a flamingo bandana for her birthday.  i also think it’s odd that Dianna mentions Wonderland specifically in the post.

January 15, 2016 - Dianna’s engagement to Winston is announced and Kaylors notice Taylor is liking sad posts on Tumblr including several posts related to Clean:

November 7, 2016 - Lorde’s birthday party where Kaylor is together in public for the last time for 20 months.

January 5, 2017 - Claire (who is still very close with Taylor) comments on one of Dianna’s Instagram posts):

March 2, 2017 - Dianna posts her James Dean inStyle UK photo to Instagram:

This is actually the second time she has posted this as a throwback photo.  She also posted it on February 4, 2016 with simply the caption “TBT” and did not include the “rebel without a clue” bit which is a reference to James Dean (Rebel Without a Cause). She’s never posted the same TBT photo twice before or after this (as of the writing of this post in October 2020).

It I may be permitted to go real far out on a limb here it’s almost as if she wanted people to connect that photo of her in the UK InStyle magazine to James Dean.  James Dean is of course the way Taylor describes her lover in the song Style.  

At any rate it’s very odd that it’s the only photo she’s posted twice whether it’s related to Taylor or not.

April 25, 2017 - Fans notice Dianna is having her script tattoo removed:

This is significant because a part of the tattoo was dedicated to Alice in Wonderland - it said “We’re all mad here” 

Tattoo removal is a years long process:

So it’s possible she started getting it removed around the time that Wonderland came out.

It’s also possible part of the tattoo was dedicated to Lea (the part that said “here I am”) so this whole removal situation is very interesting.

In 2019 she was still getting it removed and commented this at a Cafe Carlyle session:

"i was like i don't know i wanna explain all my tattoos or the one that i'm getting removed on my side...you know you're like...WHATEVER we're stopping we're moving on"

February 13, 2018 - Dianna attends the Carolina Herrera fashion show, so does Karlie. Dianna is introduced to Karlie by Derek Blasberg and very audibly calls Karlie “gorgeoouusss” as they meet. 

Kayda play “Gorgeous” by Taylor Swift.

[struggle-but-its-all-ocean-floor]

Bored on a train so I decided to try my hand at ranking Chapter 2 singles and collabs. By Chapter 2 I mean anything released after Proof, but I'll include other stuff released in 2022, like With You and Stay Alive because they're kind of part of chapter 2 (and because I like them). I won't include JITB and Indigo because then it would be too hard, and singles and collabs are more comparable to each other than albums tracks (singles and collabs are more about commercial success than albums) .

Also, the songs are ranked by order of preference and how much I listen to them, and then quality... There's no scientific method here, sorry. Anyway, these are my made up rules, here we go:

That That - This song slaps and it's so much fun. I love the iconic choreo, the iconic MV, the lyrics, the hook, the outro, Suga's rap. Forever thankful for this song. It's also my dad's favorite.

Dreamers - This song really grows on you. It's actually pretty good and it's my favorite to listen to after That That. It's really not the best one musically but it's my second favorite right now anyway. Also, the performance was amazing and it's done a lot for Jungkook.

Sexy Nukim - It's kind of a masterpiece, for sure better than Dreamers and arguably Stay Alive, but I don't listen to it as much anymore, probably because I'm JK biased and this song's older.

Stay Alive - I'll be honest and admit I thought about swapping Stay Alive with Dreamers since this is "objectively" the better song and JK's vocals are insane.

Left and Right - The worst thing about this song is Charlie. It took me a while to even like this song because I find the lack of Jungkook so frustrating, but for him I listen to it regardless. He should do a solo cover. I've grown to love his parts in the song a lot. Also, it did so well on charts and got him so many records (useless but still appreciated).

With You - Again, took me a while but this song grew on me as well. It's better than L&R but, again, I'm JK biased and I usually don't seek out this song.

The Astronaut - In a way I like this song better than With You (for sure I like it more than L&R lmao) but it's hard to listen to it for obvious reasons.

Rush Hour - It's fun and could maybe be way higher up in this ranking if the style of the song was more my thing. I'm not sure if I like it better than Vibe but it's funner and more satisfying, I think. Vibe ends too abruptly.

Vibe - It's cool but not a song that I want to listen to a lot. It's very new though so it might grow on me.

Bad Decisions - This is my mom's favorite collab but it's so bland to me. I never listen to it and I don't think it did very well on the charts.

Thoughts?

Criminal was a classic Taemin song but something about this song made me like it more

I’m honestly shocked Daniel went for a vibe like this...I’ve never really listened to his music but I didn’t expect this...v impressed

Jamie and Daniel’s soothing voices went well with Simon Dominic’s unique rapping tone

Selena Gomez fit really well with this song and was really impressed with her

BP has such a strong image I forgot they can also rock a cute concept

THIS RED HAIR IS A BLESSING (especially in that high ponytail i-) SHE IS ATTACKING ME BUT YKNOW WHAT THATS OKAY- im SURE theres a plot significance to her two different dresses the mostly black and the mostly white but my brain can only register WOMAN PRETTY that white one in particular…………… the choker with her hair up and those boots…………… i saw it clear as day and im d wording over it-

BONUS TIME: B-SIDE TRACKS (thoughts and parts i liked)

Intro

i usually expect the intro to be like SUPER HYPE AND INTENSE yknow which it kinda is! however it is consistent that it fits very well and captures the overall vibe of the entire album the calm beginning with the bell like were walking into an establishment and at the halfway point it picks up its intriguing and the ‘i like you’ adds a subtle eeriness that adds just enough to make one wanna continue listening its v good 👌

Airplane

LISTEN……………… LISTEN- this is the VERY LAST genre i expected out of this group YET im not even a little bit shocked that they did this like this cutesy izone-esque summer bop of a song is a DREAMCATCHER™ song……………… YALL- THE AMOUNT OF SEROTONIN THAT ‘AIRPLANE LALALALALALA~~~~~~~’ BRINGS IS SOMETHING SO PERSONAL THIS SECOND GENERATION SUMMERY ASS INSTRUMENTAL WHAT IN THE F UCK- I FEEL LIKE IM RUNNING ON THE BEACH I FEEL THE COLD WIND OF THE WATER BUT THE HEAT OF THE SUN AGAINST MY SKIN AND IM PLAYING WITH A DAMN BEACH BALL WITH A COCONUT DRINK (I F UCKING H*TE LEAVING MY HOUSE) JIU AND DAMI SOUND SO F UCKING PHENOMENAL

Whistle

im pretty firm on believing these b sides represent different times of a summer day and this is the late evening or twilight like not nighttime but CLOSE- i thought i wasnt gonna like the whistling part but that only makes it catchieR THIS SONG IS MAKING ME YEARN AND TRYING TO RECALL LOVELY MEMORIES I DONT EVEN HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then again……………… theres always usually a song on their albums that make me unlock and feel hidden emotions………… THIS SONG GOT ME MISSING A PERSON THAT ISNT REAL this is such a mellow yet so powerful in the way they sing and express each syllable- they all did so good on this song but i gotta mention dami again for her part like oH mY gOoOoOooOoOOOooOD

Alldaylong

JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the way this song was inspired by a hug jiu got from yoohyeon…………… THIS IS NOT A JOKE she said ‘i wanna try city pop’ anD SHE DONE DID IT- i have NO IDEA how this song managed to hold so much joy and light happiness in every word and instrument used in this but im :ccccccc i literally wanna hug someone after listening to this 😔😔😔 this also makes me yearn for something but at least this one isnt unrealistic or unobtainable i dont think! there are some songs out there that make me cry from its lyrics and its sound but THIS ONE the lyrics and just how happy this song is bro reading the lyrics im about to cry for like the fifth time- they who im love so much… :ccccccc doesnt it make you just wanna hug someone and tell them you love them????????? that you appreciate them??????????

해바라기의 마음 (A Heart of Sunflower)

i knew FOR A FACT FOR👏A👏FACT👏 that they were gonna have a ballad for this album bc road to utopia didnt have one i will admit i was one of the 🤡 that thought jiu would be credited on this song 😬😬😬 ANYWAY- AGAIN WITH THE DAMN YEARNING FOR SOMETHING BUT THIS TIME IM F UCKING SAD AS S HIT why must this song be so powerful to make me emotional before i even got to read the lyrics to fully grasp it……………………… now im truly yearning in the Sad™ way and waiting for some imaginary person who i dont even know will even come back…………………… those damn adlibs are pretty as hell it was sua (and i have to mention dami again okay shes really killing it on this she woNT LET ME LIVE-) who got me feeling this the most like yeah…………………… i am a fool…………… im a fool for loving and missing someone who just disappeared from my lifE G O D D A M N IT-

LIKE this is COMPLETELY surprising album BUT IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE as its described it really is a ‘special’ album as while the title track still has their music style and sound theres still an element of summer (a very Terrifying™ summer BUT a ✨Summer✨ album nonetheless) like the b sides are SO different and COMPLETELY caught me off guard when i listened to the highlight medley YET this group of seven amazing and talented women pulled it off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its extremely obvious at this point that their steady and organic growth has grown VERY HIGH this time and (although im still very confused by how everything was released and announced BUT i digress) this different kind of method in performing the song the day before seemed to work?????????? I DUNNO WHAT TO SAY ANYMORE this section could literally be summed to just I LOVE DREAMCATCHER SO MUCH 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

IN CONCLUSION: LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM BECAUSE ITS BOMB AS F UCK

AND AS ALWAYS
