#i used to think i was a bg stan and now look at me

[withleeknow]

LOL I think I entered the ticketmaster queue ~65k?? and there were nosebleed tickets for £90 but idk, my heart wasn't really in it for some reason:/ so that was a sign to let the tickets go for a stay who would really want it:') tbh since coming back from madrid I've taken a bit of a backseat with all my bgs (I still love them dearly, I just haven't been in the full-on-stan content mode) - which tour stop are you going to??! I'll be there in spirit

dudeee WWH + WENDY?? that's a powerhouse of vocals I was not expecting for this album and I've tried to not let his tiny-ass waist get to me but - as a surprise to no-one - has us on a chokehold 🫠

ohh I hope you're feeling better now! ♡ (did you end up getting 🦌 ver. of the album? 👀)

for enha youtube recs: if you haven't already seen heesung being the “loser in a hot body” trope in soobin's my fave's fave (warning: they're both looking extra fine in this one) + same trope but make it ot7 sports day: tinyurl.com/25b7rjf7 + more recently they've done food variety appearances: tinyurl.com/yc4ey7as (jake w/ his long hair in this 🫠) + as an nct-monsta x girlie, this one has a special place in my heart: tinyurl.com/3bkt83jy (skip 10mins in for this one)

I'm still not over that mama collab stage - that lineup was truly made for us ♡ - but the best part was everyone's maternal instincts kicking in for taehyung's reaction to their performance: vm.tiktok.com/ZGdh9oxJB/ 🥺🥺

sorry this is a monster of an ask but had to send what might be the most unhinged video I've shared with you to date: tinyurl.com/mt6x93bm this made me go borderline feral idc which jay you have as a potential cameo you know whatever you write will make my brain explode <3

me and my friends were in 7 queues in total and only had one decent queue number (4k) lol, but thankfully it was the queue for our most preferred tour stop. i'm seeing them in amsterdam !! i don't even wanna think about all the miffy stuff i'll be bringing back from that trip. i hope enha's gonna tour europe in the future and if so mayhaps a 🍙 x 🌱 concert experience if it's in the cards? 🥹

i did end up getting a 🦌 album bc i have no self control. look at double 🦌 😭 !! the left one is a duplicate bc i already pulled that from one of my other albums lol but it's still within the confines of the microwave line 😭 what is this red string

ahhh ty for the recs !! heeseung's ramyeon ep was actually the first ep of soobin's show that i watched. erhm. i was looking extra hard that ep. at both of them. soobin in a white tee and messy hair, uhm,... and then 🦌's hair, and lethal face card, and his insane obsession with ramyeon. uh. yeah... the microwave has been working overtime

an excited babie :((( and the fond smiles he got from everyone :((( that's adorable omg. but that video reminds me... i might be looking at some bnd peeps, just a little bit. but they're all so very young so i might adopt them as my new children lmao

uh yeah hello ending the ask with this was absolutely foul. the eyes and the arms 🫥 eating my own fist and whatnot. i need him to stop bc the hype 23 curse isn't even upon him yet ??? what's gonna happen then ???

Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru's Death Scene - Star Wars: A New Hope [4k UltraHD]

Your bad guy as well Stan so I'm going to put this up every once in a while but you see it. And you keep threatening me and you're not supposed to let on but you do and out loud and all sorts of s*** and you're an a****** so I'm going to put it up with Luke Skywalker and I noticed the same thing there's a cloud above and he says it's a class A ship but he told Obi-Wan Kenobi what it was

Zues good Hera and yeah you're sitting there threatening him so enjoy you don't know if that's you and her that boys if you get pissed off huh that's too bad we get off on it and stuff no we have to use it

And you respond poorly and what you're saying is wrong you're trying to harm us all the time and you're a pig stand and mac daddy and we hate you you keep having them say stuff you're wrong we can see you doing it. You're under the influence and you're stupid and you're like little kids thinking you're going to get back in and you won't I'm sick of it most of the s***'s coming from you idiots in this Trump guy and we think that he does it if you look at above you'll see a ship and his empire. And it's shaped in a certain way and certain size that looks like Trump's ship and sure they could be imitating him but we don't think so you can see the scenes around a little town and the things they say now these two are in a fight to the death all the time and he could just stand and Sherry he kidnapped to them yesterday before yesterday no it was yesterday and forced his way in didn't do any good but the two are having a little war so they unbury their home and they are going to use it overseas and tattooing the train playing bja they're trying to blame him and it doesn't work at all and they do kill the two and they're alive before you can see it in the scene before it it's a rather gruesome death and they hit their house with laser and then they incinerate them a little and wanted them to feel the pain we're not very happy about you Trump doing this that these leaders are leading their people to attack us and I guess we're going to have to have meetings to figure out what to do because it looks like you're going to go ahead with it anyways and we know that you have some chips in that area it'll be easy enough to get them out we don't know how he gets there we think you kidnap him again or you're holding on to him and now we think he's in town and his nephew said I saw him yesterday at fisherman's village and Stan is upset since you can't just grab me people see it and it's true they're going to start hitting us very hard and they're going to get us out of here but they're doing it and we're at a war and time for them to stop and if they don't this will happen

Bg

Anything I'm a nutcase because we're not stopping and it's probably true it's not really helping them but boy we keep putting him in stupid situations but we keep getting into them and this guy Trump needs to leave before me he says and it's true Trump is a nut case it's just using it to try and take over the apartments he'll probably try this or do this and he'll die or his people be ruined first it's true

Stan sherry

I don't have anything to say it's probably stupid and it says how stupid it is but I can't stop because they're attacking us

Trump

We have a lot to say no they're attacking us and they need to die

Sarah

We don't like them they keep ruining plans attacking people taking stuff and sitting on it and sitting on us and threatening us and putting our son in the hospital f*** them

Thor Freya

We don't like you Mac Daddy you f****** idiot f**** same with stand your f****** f****

[quieteclipse]

Hi!! I was wondering what groups/bands/artists do you listen? I have seen some gifs of groups but still I wanted to know which more do you listen to 💌.

oh, hello!

so i consider my five ults to be: wonder girls, shinee, exo, seventeen, and twice. but i'm most actively a seventeen & twice stan rn tho bc they're the most consistently active since they're still fresh lol

as for other artists, there's not really a lot dksd i've kinda stopped actively listening to a lot of kpop and became super casual (as in listening to title tracks days-weeks after they drop lmao), but here's some artists i like/liked (gonna list some 2nd gen too bc that's where my heart truly lies ngl)

girl groups/soloists:

blackpink, red velvet, nature, dreamcatcher, itzy, chungha, izone, mamamoo, gwsn, loona, somi, gfriend, clc, laboum

snsd (especially taeyeon), kara, secret, 4minute (especially hyuna), spica, girl's day, miss a, f(x), t-ara, sistar, park jimin/jamie park, baek yerin, lee hi, iu, exid

(i wanna list oh my girl bc they have bangers, but they're also kinda yikers unfortunately...)

boy groups/soloist:

got7, day6, nct (all units), stray kids, monsta x, ikon, winner, samuel

mblaq, beast, block b, bap, infinite, 2pm, 2am (kinda? i'm not into ballads but i love them as people), ukiss, b1a4, nuest, big bang (forgot to wladd them, they were too fundamental to my baby kpoppie life rjsjd), teen top, btob

[wildernessuntothemselves]

I saw that ask abt txt being not too "outstanding" n god it triggers the satan in me. I'm tried of 4th gen kpopies degrading txt for being the only ones with quality music. I mean, i bet there isn't more than five 4th gen idols who r truely into music n passionate abt it n knows their way with it. And txt as a whole is an all rounder group so non fans or casually fans dk much abt their individual potential. Txt is the future of kpop n 4th gen leaders for a reason, tbh i wouldn't care abt 4th gen if it wasn't for txt. Music is basically dead in kpop- no bgs especially 4th gen release good music, hell it aint even music at this point. I had to literally unstan so many groups cuz of their latest releases.

Skz is fine tho, but manic wasn't it without Felix's chorus, still they r skz so i can say they'll do fine. I was kinda disappointed with gbgb at first but after a few listens i grew to lyk it tho it isn't txt lvl at all. The bsides were all basically soty material. Also this y i lyk txt cuz they give no skip albums. If kpopies weren't shameless n had conscience they would admit no one except txt(n btsvt) have no skip albums. Txt is superior in versatility n quality, it makes them stand out in a industry of random tictok sounds n loud beats.

-Isa

i feel like i walked in on a fanwar i wasn't aware of. do txt regularly get hated on by other 4th gen bg stans? i only hear from non bg stans and txt are the token bg for us so i only hear positive things about them

but anyway i didn't feel like the original ask was hateful, though i did side eye how they said that the only thing keeping txt afloat is the concept and production as if that's not the case for most groups? only a handful of idols are self-producing and tbh even if they're self producing doesn't mean the songs they put out are automatically better. you could produce a song and have it be terrible, i don't get the obsession kpop fans have with self-production. producers exist for a reason

but i still feel like your tone isn't helping. we're here to talk about things rationally and you getting this defensive is exactly what i was talking about. like idk the rest of the bg so i can't say who is or isn't passionate about music. i'm sure all stans say the same thing about their own idols but all i know are txt and they seem genuine to me and while they're not the most talented idols, i was attracted to what they have to offer, yes mostly their songs and concepts, but also taehyun's voice is what ultimately pulled me in. he doesn't have the most range and isn't the most technically good singer but his voice has soul and emotion and that's what i look for idk yeonjun isn't the best dancer but he is very entertaining to watch and i personally like his singing voice. beomgyu isn't the most gifted in any particular area but his expressions to me are top notch, i just enjoy watching him so much like he does the cutest expression when doing cute concepts and is very emotive when doing sad songs. i still watch his lovesong fancams regularly because idk it just feels like he really is experiencing heartbreak lol

anyway i'm ranting by now i just mean to say that even though i love txt a lot and they're my favorite 4th gen group, i wasn't triggered by that ask at all. what they said is the truth and i can accept that. the only clarification i would make is what i made in the first part of this response.

i feel like responding with such things as :

"bet there isn't more than five 4th gen idols who r truely into music n passionate abt it n knows their way with it."

"Txt is the future of kpop n 4th gen leaders"

"If kpopies weren't shameless n had conscience they would admit no one except txt(n btsvt) have no skip albums."

is the triggered response i didn't want. none of these are verifiable. for you an album is a no skip but to others it's all skip. like i'm sure all other stans think the same of their groups.

and even though txt are definitely more known to the general public, i think skz are the 4th gen leaders

[leeminholinoing]

“He seems so lost”yeah that is what it looks like to me.why did he rush to release this single while still on tour?why didnt he take a little break,maybe took care of bussines stuff (BG?) and then come back next year?to me it feels like he thinks touring is everything so he is releasing this album to have new songs and if he doesnt do it now people will leave.but I belive a lot of people will leave by the end of this year if he has kid in doc and he will be left with tik tok/twitter teens

yeah also selling a tour right after another is just not a good idea because most of us just don't have the money.

I'm already glad they haven't announced it yet but the energy prices keep rising so his best bet would be to announce his tour next year in February/March for the north hemisphere. so all of us we'll know a bit more where we stand budget wise :/

I think he wanted to ride on the wave of his first tour but didn't take into account fandom fatigue (financial and mental).

I have this theory that all the boys keep trying to get rid of their 1d fans because we know too much and just refuse to take part into stan culture. Them wanting only clueless fans who say "yes amen" to everything they do and say while throwing money at them might be a good short term strategy but it's not a good long-term one. They are all around 30 now they might want to keep fans who are the same age as them instead of teens who will lose interest in two months because "30 is old" and the 1d members are old news :/

[kangtaebins]

for the kpop group ask game thingy ~~

onlyoneof!!

Ooo a group I’m unfamiliar with! I will say I’ve heard their name before but I have no idea what they look like or what their music sounds like so this’ll be fun!

Top song on spotify: “libidO”

Ok so I watched the MV for this one! It’s not bad! I don’t know how I feel about the beginning of the chorus bc to me it was a tad overwhelming but I’m a very sensory sensitive person. So it’s not that it wasn’t good I just had to get used to that part. Overall it’s a catchy song! I enjoyed it. It’s kind of cool bc the song itself is very modern day kpop, but the style and concept reads v 2nd gen to me which I like a lot. The one member with the long hair gave me a nostalgic feeling bc of Taemin’s hair in Sherlock. Generally speaking, it takes more for me to be impressed with bgs than ggs bc of how similar bg concepts are across the board. However, I liked this song and would listen to it again now that I know what to expect!

Who stands out to me:

In the MV I have to say the one with the long hair stood out the most to me obviously bc I think that was kind of the whole point- but as I’m looking as their photos, Yoojung stands out to me the most. I find him most attractive and would look for him in stages most likely

Would I look into them more?:

Sure! I would probably watch another MV or listen to a couple bsides casually just to see what the rest of their songs sound like! I don’t know if I’d stan or not bc I don’t rlly know them yet but they seem really interesting! If you have any bsides you like a lot that you think ai should try out lmk!

💌 Send me a kpop group!

Becoming a Family With Him, Part 3 // Shuichi, Hikaru, Rhion, Luke, Eisuke

so this came out, as further celebration for the anni. VERY GOOD, much more appreciated than the prior story set lol that one was kind of boring but i get it

they made the kids for all the... kid-less ones, and the eisuke one that used to be VIP-exclusive is now here for everyone to buy (rip those ppl who gacha for it)

my rambling behind the cut (spoilers!!)

shuichi // as ud expect, shuichi has a literal hime ass looking girl (kikyo) for a daughter. she’s only 6, but is pretty calm and ladylike. She even calls her parents with –sama so... ok luckily shuichi does not strip down all the way in the presence of her daughter and only takes off his suit coat. thanks dad

anyway since shuichi has a break coming up, he wants to have a family trip how nice. but then the dang girl wants to go over to see eisuke WHAT when soryu exists and lives a block away? unrelatable, im closing the app anyway eisuke is her first love, which wtf he’s like 20 yrs older than u. even worse, mc says she’s been in love since she was like 3.

shuichi is reconsidering the benefits of democracy in his mind but eventually relents. but then they’re still following the fucc-days rule they set years ago. well, as he says in the story, RULES ARE RULES

blah blah i don’t want to go over everything bc then it’ll be boring reading the story when it comes out in engl right? also im tired bc it’s 1 am and i just want to play toontown in bed but nothing really bad happens. they are a v cute family bc shuichi is a pleasant and mature dad. kikyo and mc even do a little surprise for him at the end and it is very sweet. i feel like out of all the families, this is the most ideal

mad hatter // so they have twin sons named Rui and Kai. Rui is the childlike one that resembles Rhion in personality, Kai is the more mature one that resembles Al. man i forget that boy’s name but u get me i know they only can use stock bgs but it’s killing me that these dang kids get to sleep in what looks like separate king sized beds.

even though rhion is now a father of two, he still acts like... 10. i mean he still horni but it makes me feel weird

later it’s revealed that Ota teaches them both as an art tutor bc they both showed an interest in art. this is cute bc ota is bad with kids in this universe LOL

the ending on this one was weird cuz the kids didn’t show up in the entirety of the last ep bc it was about WORK. so uh... interesting

hikaru // so their son is named akari. haha get it because it means light. like how hikaru also means light. can mc name her kids unrelated to their father or is that against the Geneva convention

this kid actually acts like an actual little boy. like what hikaru would’ve probably turned into if not for the whole sad backstory. the story starts with akari just bringing a dog randomly home one day. he actually saved the dog (it is very cute bc he did not want the dog to cry), and then after a talk they decide to keep the dog as long as akari knows the responsibility of taking care of an animal.

so next day, the bidders come over to their house and everyone’s like woaw a dog. lol they come into their house as guests and eisuke and mamo still demand for beverages, they all suck

akari names the dog... “Light” (Raito) and i want out of this nightmare. Naturally bc Light is an abandoned dog it’s still kind of bad with interacting with things. But then Light suddenly be giving the ( ╹ਊ╹) to soryu bc remember, animals love him. everyone clowns on soryu for being an unintentional dog whisperer and then akari is like “soryu san pls make me ur apprentice” and he gives some advice like approaching it slowly, and talking to it from the front instead of back.

blah blah there’s a situation where Light goes YEET after a Doberman gets all angry and then hides bc then another dog is scaring it. hikaru swoops in to the save the day as the Real Dog Whisperer. ok it’s cute when hikaru actually gets to look cool  for once LOL

luke // luke is cute on the bc “pre-story” scene he’s actually pretty open to the idea of having kids; he actually goes “well imo we should think abt it pretty soon, but i wanted to hear ur opinion on it” but then he gets horni. and then he’s like “our kids are going to have your collarbones. awesomeee im looking forward to that” ....ok

ok cut to the actual story and they’re in Japan. Luke’s kid looks... strange versus the others. why are his eyes so big? omg voltage his eyes arent going to be saucers just cuz he half white also the kid’s name is Yuri (Or Urey). They couldn’t think of any other Brit-styled names? Like Harry? Henry? William? Wilfred? hey stan be my princess btw he’s pretty cute, though he gives serious “timid kid that gets bullied in the children’s movie” vibes. He calls Luke “daddy” and mc “mammy/mommy”.

so luke talks about his relationship w/ soryu and eisuke and then yuri is like “i want friends like that” wow cute but also find less ethically-complicated friends

so luke lets yuri meet a young patient of his (haru) so they can be friends. they get along so it’s good. haru gets in critical condition later so luke zooms outta there to do the operation.

LOL but at the end yuri is like, “i want to make more friends. (...) can i go to the bidder’s room from now on?” this boy works fast

And then he’s like “Eisuke-san... please be my friend.” HIS POWER. even eisuke was like :O so then eisuke orders a whole bunch of food and books up to the penthouse. But then yuri’s like “...i like eisuke’s eyes” and everyone’s like oh man that’s gonna be his fetish

Baba: why have u started to have an interest in eyes Yuri: I read it from one of daddy’s medical books Hikaru: wtf u can read that at 4??? (...) Soryu: wat Yuri: um... i want soryu to be my friend too Yuri: bc soryu’s eyes are also powerfully cool...

eisuke // ok this gets an extended ramble bc the more annoying the story the longer i must complain

so you might be thinking, “oh so this is gonna be a flashback in some in media res styled story with your 2 kids, u know in the style of the others” and well, no you just go straight to white screen into the flashback, back when eito was smaller and thus a little more cute. well it’s not really false advertising bc they did say “reminisce” in the description. but i wanted to see eito be a good big brother for a moment! or... less good? man i wanted to see kaito go waaaah like a baby idk i wanted to see him exist

so back to the story they cut to small eito. even as a smaller punk he does fight with his dad a little, just w/ a more narrow vocabulary to work with. tho at this point he’s still pretty sweet so clearly eisuke clowning him day and night was a negative effect on his development. (doesn’t treat his child like a child) (child grows up to a punk that doesn’t respect him) (surprised pikachu) being the son of a billionaire means that this child has to go study at a very young age and listen to MOZART. no child of eisuke ichinomiya will be listening to degenerate bops like lee taemin’s criminal next day they all go to the very fancy school that eito will be attending. eisuke does a speech, but then eito is all like “why is papa over there all the time” in reference to how all the other parents in attendance are having fun with their children, but eisuke is busy talking to other people for business and connections etc. etc. mc kind of has a hard time trying to explain it to eito bc... it’s honestly poor parenting... eiji shows up after arriving late, and he’s like “gramps is gonna be with ya today! instead of papa” which is cute but then she’s like psst thanks for coming and im like oh... so grandpa just didn’t randomly come to the open house for fun he’s just gonna be surrogate dad while real dad is busy... aw... and then at the end eito’s like FUC THIS KINDERGARTEN. eisuke is like “(smh) don’t yell in public. (despite everything) you are still the eldest son of the Ichinomiya family”

and so afterwards it’s clear that eito does not want anything to do with this school. he just sits in the classroom until mc is there to pick him up instead of playing in the courtyard or w/e, wanting nothing to do with the other kids.

so later there’s a hiking trip for the students and both of their parents, and mc asks eisuke if he’ll be available for it. eisuke is like, “i have a business trip that day, so I’ll have to adjust my schedule” and he’s been very busy in the opening of a new business or w/e. mc tells him to not do so much for something like that and that it’s ok if she goes alone with eito on the trip.

it’s the day of the trip, and mc goes alone with eito. she notes that a lot of dads did indeed come along for the trip. she apologizes to eito and says that she did talk to eisuke about the trip before, but he’s simply busy for this day. and im like... but girl, you were the one who told him not to change his schedule for the trip. yes a trip may seem less important than business ventures, but don’t make it sound like you weren’t the one who stopped him. lol. idk why im pressed abt this single line of dialogue bc later she does realize she fucced up there well eito is just like w/e about it and has pretty much accepted that sort of thing

anyway eito goes missing later and one of the kids said that he told eito that his dad (eisuke) didn’t come bc his dad thinks that his work is more important than his son. so eito got mad and ran off somewhere

and then mc finally gets the lightbulb moment that eito... wants to see his dad!! he ran off to go try to see him somehow??? !! wow so sweet

it’s raining like a mf but then in her search for eito eisuke randomly pops out of nowhere. He’s like “ho i did not remember saying that i wasn’t coming” and she’s like “im sorrryyy” and both me and him are like “just find the dang kid”

ok yea they find eito, he starts being a good student, and u start to see where he starts being antagonistic towards his dad LOL etc. etc. lol this story annoyed me so i don’t feel like doing the rest of the play by play orz

anyway thanks for reading my garbage LOL

[dojae-huh]

Also I'm thinking about you saying SM is disaccustoming fans to Tae's presence because of military.

I don't really know, but I don't think they used this strategy for the other SM's bgs. On the contrary, they pushed relevant/popular members' activities till the last. I may be wrong tho, since I'm not an SM's groups stan.

So, if this time they're really keeping Tae aside, is it because Nct has a different concept than the previous bgs? And the sudden lack of Tae would damage the whole brand?

Or is it because, and this is pure speculation, Tae doesn't have intention to renew the contract in 2023? We can't rely on members' words about their loyalty to the group, most of the time they're strategical, we already know that.

Implying that Tae doesn't want to renew his contract doesn't mean he doesn't love his group and his members. There are tons of different matters involved in a contract, very important as well (writing this not for you but for whoever comes across this ask).

I have no doubt Tae will renew his contract. He, Do (+Jae by association), Hyuk will stay in SM. Kun seems to like it here too. Taeil is lazy to change paths, so high chances he will stay too. Ten is LSM's favourite, so it's in Ten's best interest to continue with SM for now.

Fans like to talk how neos will be better off without SM, but it's not so. The Chinese idols can make it back home as solo celebrities, maybe. The company has money for composers/song-writers, it buys songs in hundreds, you can choose (like BoA does). Connections and influence, both at home and abroad.

I'm not that familiar with SM's history, so I can be wrong, but I haven't heard of an example of an artist leaving and doing much better. Except those who decided to stop being idols/singers and opened a business or turned to acting.

I'm pretty sure that after all the problems LSM faced he is testing new idols for loyalty now as well. Look at the t7s lineup. All 5 are the most hard-working and most loyal. Ten waited for several years and learnt two languages, MarkTae are in many groups and are the most overworked, Doyoung is everywhere representing. Jaehyun also works without complaints and improves all the time.

OK, back to Tae.

First of all, he himself said he wants the spotlight on others. He gets hate, he gets a lot of hate for holding so many positions. I can see how it can relieve him to step aside for a little bit or partially.

Secondly, the concept. Taeyong got injured during NCT2020 and had to be replaced by other neos. It can happen again. But more importantly, because of the system NCT, or rather NCT 127 members, can in theory continue without a hiatus.

Taeyong was always the centre, the main fan attractor. Taeyong being absent on the title track is a shock. It was totally unexpected. He was on all U songs in Empathy, except for "Timeless". He is the face and the leader afterall. Fans (and maybe neos) need to see that even without Taeyong NCT127 is still NCT.

Mark got the central part for NCT2020 Resonance, and it didn't sit well with me, heh. "But, but Taeyong is the leader!", lol. It's just strange to see Taeyong flanking Mark or Jaehyun. I can say that Doyoung is the real boss all I want, but for the lore, for the essence and the concept of NCT, it's Taeyong the Dragon.

So yeah. I can see how it can benefit to ease people to the idea of Taeyong being absent, and NCT not changing fundamentally despite it.

Friends to lovers really is superior! Do you like college aus? In my mind I'm always writing a seokmin college au f2l fic . Like you said the jealousy and the fear and tension makes it all so heartouching 🙈 My favourite is also when the boy is pining after the friend for a long time and she goes through some relationships in the meantime ahh the pain 💔 Do you having any college au pining head canons in your mind? It can be about football boyfriend seungcheol too 👉🏼👈🏼 And I hope you enjoy the hp books! I read them when I was very young and after that I didn't reread, but I read a lot of hp fanfiction! So I'm still in touch with the universe that way. And besides bts and svt do u like any other kpop bgs? - 🌴

I LOVEEE COLLEGE AUS!! I never yearn to be in school, but something hits different in fanfiction loll. It's a way for me to picture my current life but with ✨ romance ✨It's like reimagining the real world with a rosy lens

Seokmin f2l college AU?!?!?! You should totally write it !! I would loveee to read it. The world needs more Seokmin stories !! If not, we respect your decision to keep these fantasies to yourself aha. It'd be nice to share though !! Even if you want to send me your ideas in the inbox, I'd be soo happy to hear them

Oh my gosh the long-term yearning?! My heart is weak and fragile. The thought of that one-sided pining hurts me soo much. You have taste !! The kind that would break my heart into pieces aha. If you're looking for some svt fics like that, I would recommend Choco's Soonyoung fic, Wish !! Also this Seokmin fic, Fireflies ! It's a royalty e2l story, but in the reverse where Seokmin is the one to be put in an arranged marriage. I've re-read them multiple times, and they've become some of my favorites !! Choco is definitely my favorite seventeen writer :') I hope you like them if you check them out !

I always seek angsty stories, but my friends think I'm a masochist. Why would I purposely want to make myself hurt?? They don't get it ! They don't see the vision ! They don't know the gratification of a happy ending after going through all those emotional hurdles ! Some may say I need to seek help but that's a discussion for another time

Don't even get me started on football boyfriend Cheol :-(( It's probably so cliche, but I imagine he's the campus heartthrob. Everyone's in love with him, mc included. Of course she is ! He's probably her senior by one year, and she thinks he'd never look her way or give her the time of day. But then they're paired up to work on a group project :-( or maybe he's seeking extra tutoring because he's falling behind which is threatening his football scholarship. She probably sits on the bleachers, waiting for him to finish practice. She does homework or read books to keep her busy, but then she never notices when Cheol is smiling her way and the captain is yelling at him to get his head in the game !! And when mc gets bored, Cheol misses the times her sparkly eyes wander out to the field to watch him playyy

At the end, he's always running to the sidelines, super sweaty (and very hot), so he can apologize for taking so long. He'd rush back to the shower room and come back without drying his hair klsdjkas (BRAINROT!!). He's so sweet, and he's such a gentleman. He'd probably carry her backpack and her textbooks as they walk back to his car so they can study at his place :( He'd always have the biggest smile on his face because he thinks she's precious !!! I'm about to burst into tears, I love him soo much

They'd be a cute, first love kind of couple. Mc would convince herself hundreds and hundreds of times that he's not into her. It started out as a business arrangement. She'd tutor him and he'd buy her meals (turned dates). He also has so many girls lusting after him, he could probably date anyoneee, but it's always been her !!! Okay sorry I swear I'll be quiet now

Harry Potter really does stick with us, even after all these years!! It's soo magical !!

I do stan other groups !!! I like ateez, txt, nct, monsta x, got7, the boyz. I'm also hugeee fans of bands like day6 and the rose!! Oh yeah, Miss Cara also has huge brainrot for Lim Jaebeom of got7 and she was wondering if the palm tree emoji has anything to do with him ahah (because that's the symbol for his clothing brand company!!). What about you ?!! Any other groups that you stan??

How Taylor Swift Plans to Celebrate Her 35th Birthday

Her birthday is December 13th and it's the same day as Elizabeth they're both abusers but this day is a special day. For rebels they start doing stuff to you. It's also Jason's birthday now or lily no but they plan to use them and he's going to be rejuvenated today and people will look for his birthday and hers they'll see what they're saying. They're fighting over the hammers and some other stuff in Virginia and the Trump guy and his son and both of them and they fight in Vegas and there's a fight up there in Maine with the hammers and then he takes it to that facility and people start going there because of it and they get captured and large numbers of people head up there and fight them it's coming up pretty soon. It is a very big day today it's a huge day because of this particular incident and with Jason and Friday the 13th he is going to be a wanted man and he goes around hitting just about everybody and they give Lars a break no very huge against the pseudo empire and they become rebels because they're forced to and they don't much like the other rebels but they see their point they had to do something and it's true so in the long run this is a story about Maine and the hammers and it's a story about our son's apartment it goes back over there and Jason takes that hammer and he loses it to Tommy boy and AKA Dave AKA Dave and he goes to Vegas to he goes there to take the other hammer and doesn't do it and gets grossly killed and revived for some reason and has been eating our son's quarters it's a little bit weird and he is badly injured at the beginning of the end and it's coming up very soon within days but it is we believe after the 15th that they have the fight over the second hammer and Friday the 13th I believe one of the hammer is removed for some reason brought to Vegas. and he's a mafia guy and has a casino it's Trump and he gets hit people think it's his son and it's not and it's not Uncle Phil but things heat up for Uncle Phil because of it and into the 14th so Tommy f wants the artifact and grabs him and it's not in Maine The graft is fine and the brain is a mutant brain in it it's a whole hole in the skull and it grows and you can see his brain and it's gross. And it makes sense and it fits in but it's really gross and that's happening today and tonight the hammers and then the 15th is prophecy bear they get their asses kicked and going to the grave and some reason people say I'm fulfill Uncle Phil has a funeral first and her son doesn't have enough money to go up North and they figured it out somehow but he's on his way out now right now he's in the hospital and she's sick and Sarah knows it that's her big move and it's going to be some issues so she's going to have Stan and Sherry drive him up there. Now he's sick already and they might want to bring him up there to try and make him not sick and if you might die what he's up there but it's kind of on his deathbed it's very sick with cancer it's all throughout his body so more shortly

They had me to keep his phone number and his email and it was for this event we believe it's the Mac empire and Mac proper that is as well but it's kind of insulting but it would help he says because if he's sick sometimes the they get better if they don't get better they get out if he's not there they might not. He says it might drooling you because you're being a b**** to Uncle Frank when it feels there and his mom's then she would probably be out and we get that

Bg

And what happened with your dad said that's probably an interesting conversation because the area is much harder and here in Florida it's kind of not too much water up there it is a little bit not like that cone and so I see that

Uncle Phil

We're going to have to try and contact him he's not getting better he's getting much worse he said several incidents and they keep increasing and I don't want to be blamed for it

Sarah

So you going to blame my husband and she says no she says usually it helps he says we have to try and look up there underneath too and nobody's doing it and that's what he does and Uncle Phil would agree it's probably cranky now though since no no no no I agree we have to do it

updated top albums list + recommended tracks from each bc im bored lol

*tentatively* in order

unnatural - wjsn | recommended songs: all of them (especially unnatural, supermoon, and yalla) except for rewind | skips: just rewind bc ballad /// im not sure what style to call this album but they really made such a smash, its crazy that it came out so early in the year and no gg is touching it (album wise). literally the only complaints i have are the obligatory ballad (that they always do bc they can all sing lmfao), the album cover/title (dont love the cover design and i dont love when the album name is the tt name, except in certain circumstances (a full album (especially where the title isnt necessarily from the title track) like montero) or when it's a single album (the inverse of this being rsq's prequel which couldve just been called colorfull since that was the only damn song 😐)). i also was disappointed with the outfits for last dance but that's peripheral.

timeabout, - yukika | recommended songs: insomnia & secret | skips: none /// okay to keep it very real im genuinely scared that she'll never surpass soul lady. i love, and i mean LOVE timeabout, but soul lady was on another plane of existence. like she could've held that album a little bit

the other side of the moon - gwsn | recommended songs: like it hot, starry night, i cant breathe | skips: i sing, depending on my mood /// i dont have much commentary tbh,this is just a very solid mini idk. id like to see a fusion of i cant breathe/tweaks/after the bloom/burn, maybe on their next mini. i love their brighter stuff but maybe a darker concept next (halloween cb pls pls pls)

montero - lil nas x | lowkey too soon for me to pick recommended songs but i'll say montero, scoop, lost in the citadel, sun goes down, and am i dreaming for now. will update! | skips: none /// i cant say that this is this year's sawayama bc sawayama was kinda more like a collection of really strong singles? whereas i feel like these songs shine as an album. i dont even know what to say except that im soooo surprised and impressed because i didnt know that this is the type of music he made???? like he raps but theres a lot of singing? not like belting but definitely not rapping. its kinda...alt ish? in some places? if i had to use ine genre to describe the whole album id probably say alt pop? idk but whatever it is it's definitely working

hide & seek - purple kiss | recommended songs: zombie & so why (tbh all of them) | 2am and zzzz depend on my mood but theyre def not full skips /// no bad song on the album this is crazy....i might rerank since i just listened to it for the first time but as of now idk, its good im just super impressed. ponzona wasnt for me but this cb theyre really doing all the things, lovr tht for them

produced by: [myself] - onlyoneof | recommended songs: coy & night flight | question mark depends on my mood /// im still mad at them (read: 8d) sooooo...idk. i can’t really listen to their music rn. but this mini is still good

play game: holiday - weeekly | recommended songs: check it out, weekend, holiday party | i like memories of summer rain and la luna but it depends on my mood /// very cohesive mini, def their best overall imo! not much to say, but i hope jiyoon gets well soon TTTT

enchant - orbit | recommended songs: gokurakuchouka & never gonna get away but also all of them except flor lunar | skips: flor lunar is nice but boring /// i need kpoppies to get into it im tired of being here alone cmon y’all

set - woodz | recommended songs: feel like | skips: none /// i prefer his bright tracks but this mini was solid as usual. where is the full album tho seungyoun hmmm????

guess who - itzy | recommended songs: sorry not sorry, tennis (0:0), kidding me | skips: in the morning, occasionally wild wild west /// i remember being very surprised that i liked this album, especially given that i dont like mitm. not anything groundbreaking but still solid. i think the naming of tennis (0:0) was really clever

intersection: trace - bae173 | recommended songs: green light, loved you | skips: none (sometimes the intro tho) /// honestly their music is really good??? mbk just hasn’t promoted them well, i feel like they make it a little hard to stan...i really appreciate that they’re not doing the stereotypical hard bg concept thing

lilac - iu | recommended songs: coin, flu, ah puh, troll | skips: honestly id have to relisten, some of the songs a lil boring but idr them at the moment

hello future - nct dream | recommended songs: hello future, life is still going on | skips: idr tbh, probably hot sauce though //// was very surprised that i liked this album, but the outro of hello future really got me after a few listens so i had to check it out. very decent!

killa - mirae | recommended songs: killa, sweet dreams, 1 thing | skips: none really but all of the bsides are a little mid tbh /// i will be 1000% honest in saying that the three reasons this allbum made this list are 1.) killa (the tt), 2.) none of the songs are bad, 3.) lien’s vocals. something about lien....he really just sells whatever song he’s on. his belting >>>>>>>>>>>. he makes their music very enjoyable to listen to, next in that department would be junhyuk. based on their most recent cb, siyoung and khael also contribute a lot as well. shame that the rest of the cb album kinda does nothing for me idk. random but i would really like a gg to cover higher and/or killa

& - loona | recommended songs: ur, ptt | skips: a different night, dance on my own /// these r my girls but this is not their best. ur is wonderful though, and ptt is addicting somehow. wow and be honest are fine but really not their best. i like wow’s choreo tho! 

albums im excited to listen to (no particular order):

last year was weird volume 3, tkay maidza (i’ve already listened to a bunch of it but i need to sit and just listen to the whole thing)

troubled paradise, slayyter (same as above, but i didn’t even realize it came out this year, i thought it was old for some reason lol)

jo1, challenger (every song of theirs i hear i like pretty much so i need to take an organized look at them lmfao)

jo1, stranger (same as above)

only lovers left, woodz (duhhh its woodz. not out yet but im excited! i do prefer his brighter concepts and this def isn’t that. he says its not gonna be like what he’s done before but the title and concept photo that’s out rn is giving lift up)

the book of us: negentropy - chaos swallowed up in love, day6 (the title kinda bored me but we’ll see. also sungjin’s gone so.....................we’ll see.)

ancient dreams in a modern land, marina (i barely got past venus fly trap because its soooooo good. i’ve listened to a little after that but the songs i heard didn’t really compare. i have to give it a shot tho)

the chaos chapter: fight or escape, txt (i liked the blue hour mini so i need to give them a chance i suppose)

333, tinashe (i just feel like i should idk)

honorable mentions (no particular order):

blue hour, txt - discovered this year, came out last year. retroactively makes the 2020 albums list bc whew the market research that went into that thing paid off

hula hoop/ starseed ~kakusei~, loona (why tf does the album not have a name) - duhhh loona + synths = a smash. in fact like i said when it dropped i dont even wanna call them loona anymore. this is kongetsu no shoujo!!! this isn’t on my top albums list because im counting as two songs and my limit is 3. i might add it anyways lmfao. we’ll see

ugly beauty, jolin tsai - discovered this year, came out in 2018. i just really like jolin tsai idk. i had only heard that album w play and i’m not yours, both are iconic but the production quality sounds...low? like its older but ik they’re not *that* old. either way, ugly beauty does everything i wanted it to - dramatic, vocals, rapping, boa vibes...jolin tsai is a queen what can i say

also, there are of course a ton of singles that i love as well, this is albums only though lmfao. i have no idea if i could even attempt to organize the singles lol

THE TOP 10 WORST KPOP SONGS OF 2020

(WARNING: I DON’T LIKE THESE SONGS AND WILL BE MEAN AT THEM. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PERSONAL BEEF WITH ANY OF THESE GROUPS OR ARTISTS SO DON’T COME FOR ME IF YOUR FAVE MADE A STINKER TRACK THIS YEAR.)

Ah, 2020. The year where disco came back, the 80s came back, and everyone was titling their songs after nonsense words. It was a good year for k-pop overall, with a lot of new trends entering the game towards the end of summer. However, there were some real clunkers that refused to get out of my head this quarantine and pissed me off to varying degrees each time I heard them. This list is an attempt to chronicle all of those.

So without further ado, let’s get this shit done.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

NCT 127 - PUNCH This isn't actually a bad song, hence it only making it to the honorable mentions section. In fact, I think this could've easily made the best list had it not been for one thing, and that's the presence of NCT 127, namely their rap line. The instrumental on this thing is absolutely killer and one of the best productions to come out of SM in a long time. The entire thing is bizarrely structured and incredibly gutsy, and therefore I think it's a travesty that an instrumental this incredible was drowned in ASMR-esque whispers and EYYYY WE BALLINs. There are a few salvageable sections, namely the first post-chorus, and we see glimmers of NCT 127's true potential, should they choose to explore this sound further.

CIGNATURE - NUN NU NAN NA Similar to Punch, I admire the production choices here - there are a few sections that blast you with 100gecs-esque womps, and that's always something I enjoy. The vast majority of the song rarely dips below decent territory, but since the entire thing hinges on the titular hook, it ends up falling apart right when it needs to bring the hype the most. I mean, building a hook around those notes was...an interesting choice, I guess. It reminds me a lot of fromis_9's FUN!, which also constructed the entire song around a terrible set of notes. Listen to them yell that hook at you and tell me it doesn't sound off. Most frustrating song of 2020.

ONG SEONG WU - GRAVITY Have you ever heard a drop this weak? I sure haven't. I hate the way he says DIVING INTO YOUR LOVE, the over-enunciation kills me and there's one syllable too many. Also, thanks Ong Seong Wu for giving CRAVITY the promo they deserve.

BTS - FLY TO MY ROOM I can't relax while listening to this, the beat is so sparse and has this nauseous sway to it that really makes me feel like I'm reliving these past 9 months of quarantine all over again. And just like quarantine, it really feels like this goddamn thing never ends. That final set of choruses is really a chore to get through, and I'm not the only one who thinks so - shout out to Taehyung for serving taste and I'm sorry Jimin convinced you to sing out of your natural range yet again.

TREASURE - MMM Ew.

I*ZONE - FIESTA It's a pretty standard girl group song up until that chorus hits and oh my god, who on earth produced this? Are they actively trying to trigger my psychosis? There are so many sounds happening that it feels like three or four demo tracks laid on top of each other, it makes me confused even trying to figure out what's going on here. And that post-chorus drop is horrendous, it's like the instrumental is literally screaming into my ear STREAM BLOOM*IZ!!! STREAM BLOOM*IZ YOU DUMB CUCK!!! YOU LOVE IT!!!

NOW FOR THE REAL LIST.

#10: TAEYEON - HAPPY

I do not like this. Taeyeon has one of the most powerful voices in the industry and instead of putting it to good use, she decided to put out the musical equivalent of eating a stick of butter. Bland, horrible texture, seems to go on forever and ever, you know you shouldn't be consuming it and you don't know why you're doing this to yourself, etc.

The MV contributed to my dislike, with Taeyeon whitewashed all the way into uncanny valley as she lounges around her beautiful apartment. Well of course you'd be happy if you lived in a place like that, I know I would. The sad thing is that there's some really nice vocal work here and there, but for the majority of the song, Taeyeon decides to serenade us in the most nasal tone that she can muster. I know she can sing better than this, and I'm disappointed in her for creating this and unleashing it on the world.

#9: WEKI MEKI - OOPSY

Whereas Picky Picky was annoying in the best way possible, Oopsy is annoying in the worst way possible. The instrumental legitimately sounds cheap, the drums sound so tinny and artificial that it's hard on the ears. Not to mention the hook, wherein the girls force their voices as high as they can go as they proclaim OOPSY! 

I'm a huge fan of cute concepts, but when it comes to putting out a high-energy sugary track like this, you're walking a fine line between adorable and irritating. Weki Meki didn't even try to walk the line, they just dove headfirst into irritating territory without a care in the world. It literally feels like the audio equivalent of having to hold a whiny toddler and then it pisses itself and the mom is just cooing about how her little darling made an oopsy.

#8: VICTON - MAYDAY

It feels like for most of the year, the vast majority of boy groups were stuck in a rut, knee-deep in sludgy EDM and leather harnesses. You know the songs I'm talking about, and I could've put any one of them here, but I chose this one purely because that chorus makes me feel like I have a concussion. I don't like this song nor the trend it's representative of - I spent most of quarantine having the same dark BG concepts thrown at me over and over and I'm glad things are starting to take a bit of a turn.

The bridge on this is actually pretty great, and the guys in VICTON do know how to sing, as can be seen in the final post-chorus. But man, there's just nothing fresh being brought to the table here, just the same stale trends in their worst form yet. The hook is so slow and drowsy, the same few notes just repeated over and over. I have not seen the MV because I feel like I can picture it well enough in my head just by listening. Are there harnesses? Don't forget those, boys.

#7: MCND - SPRING

Only Pentagon are allowed to do these concepts.

#6: HYO, LOOPY, SOYEON - DESSERT

This is genuinely unlistenable as soon as the drop hits, with a vocal stitching job that might be a horn synth, I'm not sure. That's how annoying it is. The producer is clearly incompetent and the performers are oozing with personality, though not the pleasant sort. The hook is  bratty and the raps here are beyond generic. After the halfway point, there are a couple interesting sounds thrown into the mix, but it's not enough to save things.   

Soyeon in particular sounds awful here, with her iconic nasally tone morphing into something genuinely irritating and borderline spiteful. Age up the toddler from the Oopsy comparison to around 7 or 8 and that's basically what you've got here. All I can hope is that this song is not influential in any way, shape or form, because I just had a vision of Blackpink imitating this production style and I felt a shiver run down my spine.

#5: SECRET NUMBER - WHO DIS?

I'm not sure how many Secret Number fans are out there, but I'm about to make all of em real mad at me right about now. However, it must be said.

This is basically Your Turn by Kaachi again.

I don't think I need to explain that hot take, just listen to the song. It's surprisingly amateurish, to the point where I feel like the vocals aren't in sync and they just used the first take they got from each girl. The raps in particular are awful, and I swear they even sound like they go off-key a couple of times. How this blew up in any aspect is bizarre to me. Anyways, stream Photo Magic and stan Kaachi.

#4: BAEKHYUN - CANDY

Did you want a k-pop version of Yummy by Justin Bieber? No? Well, Baekhyun decided to make it anyways! At least Yummy was sort of funny in how bad it is, this is just...a somber affair. Inexplicably, he manages to oversing the final third of the song, which I don't get the point of, but okay. Lazy, underproduced and overproduced at the same time, bland, boring, annoying...

Wait, did he just say...

Okay, I changed my mind, this is hysterical. Like Pop rocks, strawberry, bubble gum...

#3: (G)-IDLE - DUMDI DUMDI

I'm so sick of this group's 'ethnic' schtick, it's like they never learn. They just don't give a fuck - after a string of genuinely great tracks like Hann, Lion, and Oh My God, they just decide to put out this shit and expect me to listen to it? They're a group with a lot of potential, with some brilliant vocalists and the talent that is Soyeon (who really loves being on this list, apparently) but if they continue down the path of using different cultures as concepts I can't support them any further.

The song itself has salvageable parts, a recurring theme on this list, but the over-the-top tribal influences are so obvious and tropey that even listening to it feels gross. (G)-Idle have more creative control than most groups, and the fact that they're capable of creating works of art like Lion is what makes me harsh on them. Instead of moving forward, they continue to regress into their comfort zone of cultural appropriation.

#2 YOOA - BON VOYAGE

Speaking of cultural appropriation...are we gonna address this? Nah? Okay.

Oh My Girl, YooA's parent group, has a history of blatant cultural appropriation (and arguably some legit racist moments depending on how you look at it) and they seem like they're not changing anytime soon. That's why this particular song stings even more than it probably should. If you thought Dumdi Dumdi's tribal influences were a little too on the nose, take a listen to this chorus.

YooA has a bad voice, is wearing tribal face paint, and is running around the wilderness whitewashed into oblivion while a choir of nameless voices chant vaguely tribal things behind her. Even in an industry like k-pop, this sticks out as something in bafflingly poor taste, and I can't see how she got away with this in 2020.

#1 BLACKPINK & SELENA GOMEZ - ICE CREAM

Well, this is a predictable pick. 

I don't know why or how Blackpink thought they could get away with drip-feeding blinks content for 4 goddamn years in the lead-up to their first album, only to drop this big fat clunker on them. I honestly felt insulted by the song, from its cheap, tinny production to the god-awful lyrics. I don't know how anyone could find any value in a piece of music this soulless and hollow.

Lisa's raps are by far the worst part of it, with FIRE BARS such as "you're the one been chosen, play the part like moses" and "mona lisa kinda lisa". Unfortunately, these raps take up a good portion of the song, and there's nothing going on in the instrumental to distract you from them, save for that little ice cream truck jingle. (or at least I think that's what the producer was going for)

Selena is a non-presence and essentially blends in with the girls, who WAIL that awful hook like their lives depend on it. Also, there's some really cheesy innuendos here that're sung with all the sex appeal of the actual ice cream truck driver from literally your neighborhood. 

I loathe what this song represents - the only good thing about it is that the girls look stunning in the MV. And that's exactly the thing - this song represents the exact moment in time wherein Blackpink admitted to their audience that music is no longer their main focus. This is the peak of their influencer-ization, and only time will tell if they'll redeem themselves. (Spoiler: They sort of did, goddammit.)
