#happy 8th anniversary nct dream!!

[rvnclyd]

i heard when you cry, it rains in heaven.

[alittlerosecodes]

only blue skies skin

i wanted to have these coded up in time for 8.25 but jcink had other ideas ;~; here's a small preview of an upcoming skin, which comes in two flavors: truth in the eyes (green/yellow/spring) and rains in heaven (white/blue/fresh).

i've been wanting to use instrument sans in a coding project for quite a while, so i'm glad to be able to use it here. also, renjun is just so gorgeous in the teaser image, its impossible not to add him to the project huhu.

happy 8th anniversary nct dream!

Happy 8th debut anniversary to NCT dream!

[fff777]

reaction part 3 to dreamies' 8th year anniversary stream

butt pat

and the last of chenle hugs

despite all of haechan's heavy handed praise, jisung still struggled between guessing haechan and chenle as his secret santa? 🤔

jeno's secret santa was supposed to make big reactions. but for mark, that's just his normal state lol. overreaction king.

the guys did say that they felt mark was acting weirdly though so i guess this is much even for mark lol

ah so haechan was diverting attention and he was actually chenle's secret santa. classic gamemaster.

jisung was jaemin's secret santa, he had to say electronic display artist, which he did in his message

and jaemin praised him :P

nobody owned up to being haechan's secret santa lmfao

mark's secret santa had to tell him that he was very cute today and mark was thinking because he vaguely remembered that someone did say that to him, and then he remembered it was jeno :3

so markno were each other's secret santas :3

so since haechan's secret santa was either jeno or jaemin, it was jaemin who didn't own up to it lmao

chenle was jisung's secret santa and he had to give him a back hug uwu....so giving all the members a hug was also a decoy because he ended up giving a back hug only to jisung because he was looking the other way

apparently they finished all their segments but there are still 18 minutes to the video lol. did they just end up chattering?

jaemin fulfilling his mission of saying that everything haechan says is right AFTER the reveal

gifts time? :o

the way chenle was so inpatient to unwrap his gift even though you can clearly see it's a basketball. haechan kept telling him to sit down to unwrap it but he kept unwrapping it while standing

jisung got a hoverboard in 2024 lol.

according to jeno, some of their unused hoverboards grew mouldy??? but jisung's isn't so that's why it was gifted to him?

mark's gift was a tds2 photobook

mark the #1 chenji shipper

chenle had no idea there were official photobooks and he was like damn i should get one

jeno being like is chenji's this & that still a thing?? but like, he legitimately didn't know and was asking lol.

missing renjun hours

mark was very moved by tds2 so he wanted a gift that was related to the concert tour

jeno's gift was nct's original pen-like lightstick followed by their two updated lightsticks

compared to jaemin's hammer neobong drawing

jaemin asked for kimbap ^^;; a reminder of the kimbap they ate in the waiting room when debuting with chewing gum.

jisung's was his hoverboard. he was worried about whether it'd explode if he turned it on. kids these days don't know the wonders of technology that actually lasts 😤

still works! it amuses me how all of dream are hoverboard specialists because they played with them for so long.

of course, jisung liked a sentimental gift

chenle completely in jisung's space once again

jisung was so sure they were the seven who rode the hoverboard the best in korea lol. he said this TWICE. jaemin said that he and jeno always fell though 😅

chenle's basketball. but it's a special nct dream basketball. it was from we go up.

chenle is still moved by we go up and dear dream <3

haechan's gift was his custom microphone

apparently his microphone is already heavily damaged ^^;; but again he also liked memories relating to their concerts

them being impressed that they're ending right on time (an hour and a half). impressive for a group that keeps talking.

jisung acknowledging that there are fans who didn't like them for years ^^;;

closing remarks

was it mark who said "we're leos?" X'D jaemin was saying how mark, jaemin, and nct dream have their birthdays in august :P

clingy hyuckle this entire video btw

happy eighth birthday babies :3

Foot stomping and shoe squeaking dance practices

Tattoos: tbh it’s my kink but damn some idols just pull it off so well

Sometimes idols have really cute piercings, like different places on their ears or belly button piercings like LE and Mint

Specific sections of their hair dyed: Lisa, Dahyun, Jinjin and that member of Itzy (forgive me I don’t know her name)

Idols and karaoke rooms: always iconic

Idols with stuffed animals: San & Shiber, Bobby & Pooh, Youngguk and Tigger

Low rapping voices or voices that you wouldn’t expect them to have: Youngguk, Wooseok, Wyatt, Zuho, Hwiyoung & Song Mingi uwu etc.

Tbh I love the rappers that sounds like Hyuna, Yeeun and Miso. At first I thought it was annoying but I really like it now

That one year that like every idol dressed as Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad

Idols “getting thicc on us” Hongki, K.Will, Kyla, half the members of Boyfriend, CNU etc.

Female idols not caring when female fans pull the mirror trick

Idols sticking up for themselves and each other

Female idols really doing the best despite how difficult it is being a female in the music industry: this is mostly because I honestly have so much respect for female idols, they have to deal with periods and creepy perverts, dancing and running in heels, they’re just really amazing

Male idols not being afraid to show their soft sides

Male idols showing love to male fans

Idols being adorable with fans

Idols of mixed races and/or other races, Hanbyul, Felix, Samuel, Somi, Monika, Wendy, Mark, Sorn, Nickhun, Momo, etc.

Really tall and really short idols: Rowon, Zelo, Soobin, the whole of Tiny-G, Jinhwan, Woozi etc.

Idols and onesies and idols with onesie dance practices

Idols genuinely having fun on stage

Idols in suits and really gorgeous dresses that are classy and elegant

Groups with unique introductions: D-Crunch, Alphabat, 24K

Groups celebrating 7th, 8th and further on anniversaries, like Apink: because seeing a group together after so long is really cool and I love that

Groups leaving a company together and resigning with another one or filing lawsuits and winning: B2ST/Highlight and B.A.P

Younger idols being children for as long as they can :(

Idols being safe and happy

The “every member is a visual” group: Imfact, VAV, Bigstar, N.Tic

Big groups, 9+ members: WJSN, Seventeen, UP10TION (Super Junior, Exo, and Alphabat used to be big)

Idols being bf/gf material af

Idols getting married to their gf/bf of 8 mothafuckin years: shoutout to U-Kwon and his beautiful relationship with his gf

Idols getting married before having children

Idols being cute with kids

Idols being cute with their parents and siblings

Idols and beach fun time episodes; everyone is so cute and they are having fun

Unique concepts that lots of underrated groups are amazing at like horror concepts: stan Dreamcatcher

Unique and fun choreos like Speed’s Don’t Tease Me, NCT Dream’s Chewing Gum, fromis_9’s Fun

Tiny female rappers spittin fire: Dasom from 2EYES, Seoyeon from fromis_9

Idols wearing comfortable clothes for dance practices

Idols that are actually bands: Royal Pirates, LedApple, Say Yes, OneWe, Tweety, Barbie D (Kiwi Band)

Older idol groups that are either still around making music or came back after a long hiatus to continue making music: Shinhwa, Sechkies, S.E.S

Newer idols covering older idols songs like H.O.T, BoA, DBSK etc.

Collab stages between groups, Fx and Shinee, Boys Generation, WJSN, Red Velvet, Twice, Gfriend. BUT NOT THAT COLLAB STAGE WITH GOT7, SEVENTEEN, GFRIEND AND TWICE, THAT WAS CRINGEY AS HELL AND I HAVE NIGHTMARES OF IT AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH

Idols in haunted houses, unless they cry like Tao :(

Performing on stage with hand mics and being able to do the choreo one-handed: I think the newer mics are cool but there’s something about the hand helds that I’m in love with especially when the rappers get the mics, it’s really hot tbh

Idols under JYP in hoodies: tbh all idols under JYP look so smol and cute in hoodies I uwu

I love aesthetically pleasing mvs that a lot of newer groups are doing but I absolutely love the dark, boxy, old 2008/2009/2010 aesthetic tbh; anything by MBLAQ especially Cry and Oh Yeah, Girls Generation’s Run Devil Run, Shinee’s Ring Ding Dong, NU’EST’s Face, B.E.G’s Abracadabra, that dark stuff. And it’s not even for a specific reason really, it just reminds me of the golden days of kpop and tbh I miss that. I love all these new groups but there’s something almost nostalgic to me about those older mvs and every kpop fan should watch those older mvs definitely. The older groups are really legends. I miss them, like Infinite and KARA uwu

Groups covering and/or dancing to literally any Sistar song, but ‘Touch My Body’ will forever remain THE iconic Sistar song: NewKidd, Boyfriend, fromis_9

Idols wearing suit jackets and slacks with just plain t-shirts. They look so nice but also casual and comfortable and I like that. EXID’s Night Rather than Day outfits I really like and then recently OneUs’s dance practice for Twilight, Keonhee wore it really well

Idols wearing suit jackets and a nice button up on top and just jeans and plain sneakers on the bottom: again it’s a casual look but also nice and comfy

Idols with bright hair colors; Yugyeom and GD with yellow hair, Miso and hot pink hair, Yeonkuk with a pretty neon and cyan color

I’m gonna brag rn; literally N.Tic’s Fiction mv is a whole concept within itself. Yeah it’s retro but it’s also the way it was filmed, the lights & effects, the choreo, their outfits and just the way the song flows is absolutely fantastic. It’s like, my favorite song of 2019. Facts sis. Tbh N.Tic themselves are a concept. I’ve made so many posts about them but they deserve it, they are improving with each comeback and all their songs are bops and I am so fucking glad I decided to check them out. I’m glad that, despite how I felt about Jion’s appearance at first, I saw past that, realized how amazing his voice is and decided to stan the group. They’ve done so much for me already and I’m so grateful to them and hope they continue to improve and gain more fans.

Idols and dogs

Idols and plushies uwu

Honestly idols at fansigns are so precious

Hyuna killin it on her way out of Cube we stan

Idol Radio: BLESS YOU ILLHOON

Male idols with long hair; rip Ren, Jungshin, CNU, Kangnam, Jeonghan and Hwiyoung’s long hair :(

Idols stepping on me

Relay dances; Saturday, Weki Meki, 9Muses and A.C.E take it to a whole new level

Reblog with some of your favorite concepts. It can be actual concepts like cute or vampire or something. I just did non music concepts
