#god forbid tiktok finds his cover of say my name

[man-i-love-folklore]

Hozier's cover of do I Wanna Know? being all over tiktok when ive had it on repeat for the past seven months is so jarring to me. like who are you people and why are you in my house.

[apeachty]

note : as if i don't shitpost enough already, annoying anyone who follows me, i kinda decided to make / participate in a txt song challenge.

the tag for it is #[ txt song challenge ], so you can filter it freely. i'd post it privately, but search by tag doesn't work for privated posts even inside the blog, and i know i would want to reread it :c

yep, the album covers are recolored by me, and if anyone wants i kinda can make any of them in any color for you?.. i have all of them saved as projects, so it's easy as if anyone needs it.

warnings :

i’m gonna sound like a little hater in some posts for the challenge, but that’s just how it was with txt for me. i never spread any hate towards them or any other group, tbh. it only stayed inside my head, and it wasn’t even that bad—I just preferred to avoid them.

there's gonna be pink. lots of it. and thought flow without any system. it'll just be all over the place, but i kinda like it that way even more.

₊ ˚ ⊹ ♡ . ⠀day 1 ✧ a song that you first discovered

before i name any, the most important thing about txt songs for me is that i heard the chorus to half a dozen of them through tiktok challenges and absolutely hated it, because i felt like it was everywhere, and i knew it was txt, a.k.a. bts' juniors.

it definitely includes 'good boy gone bad,' 'sugar rush ride,' 'chasing that feeling,' and god forbid 'happily ever after.' i also listened to 'do it like that' when the mv was released because i love the jonas brothers and i disliked it.

it's hard for me to determine which song i discovered first (it might as well be 'cat & dog' back in 2019, tbh), so i'll just go with two that i associated with txt from the very beginning.

G O O D　B O Y　G O N E　B A D

first heard it fully on tv on some music channel [with the mv], and my mom, who was watching it with me, said she liked the song and that she should note down what it's called and who performs it when they show it at the end. and i was like, "i know both, but eh, whatever, i'll send you the title and the group name. but… really, mom? them?"

to be honest, i remember the moment sooo well. the image of beomgyu in his emerald shirt appears in my head immediately when i think of it.

it wasn’t just that, but i got addicted to the pre-chorus he sings. i loved everything about it—melody, singing, and choreo. rewatching that part in the dance practice video, let’s say, regularly, became my guilty pleasure.

but i hated the chorus, and the english parts [basically the parts i could understand] sounded kinda cringe. i mean, "good boy gone bad," gosh, what’s that? so i just stuck to the pre-chorus and beomgyu.

it stopped sounding cringe when i read the translation tho. i love how dark it is. and i have three versions of it in my playlist: regular, japanese and from the vid for the kelly clarkson show. not bad for the "really, mom? them?" song.

heard it in a challenge on yt and immediately loved it. easy as that lol.

i was kinda biased against txt in a bad way back then, but weirdly enough, i didn’t really care that it was their song. i just loved it, and that’s it.

tho i’m not really sure it made it to my playlist. i just listened to it for hours from time to time, but not really from saved music—just searching it and listening from the search results.

[dance practice to it was also the first txt video i showed my mom, and that’s another story lolol. do i need to find/make a challenge about txt in general, not just songs?..]

note : ahhh yes, normal apeachty behavior. thought that i'd write just a bit, but somehow ended up writing more... well, at least now it looks good enough to be posted.
