#i'm adding the song because it literally fits perfectly

[silasbug]

to nugget. (aka: SO and i broke up a few days ago).

we were together for 3.5 years. it was my first proper relationship (something that deserves to be called a relationship- whatever came before didn't).

the night of was bad. even though i'd been thinking about it for months, had resigned myself to it, had been trying to give myself the final push, it still hurt more than i would've thought.

i'm glad it hurt. it means i cared. that i still care.

as much as it hurt, it honestly couldn't have gone any better. we both conceded on everything. there was no future for whatever we had, and while it could've worked for a while more, i would've rather not started resenting you. i think the feeling was mutual.

you rolled over the next morning and told me you weren't ready to break up just yet. i held you as you cried. i stayed steadfast. you didn't press. i thank you for that.

because what's the point of prolonging the inevitable? we'll both just hurt more in the end. this way, we can keep the things that were sweet dear. close in our hearts.

this one isn't immediate. i won't be gone by tomorrow, and neither will you. there's still kisses (awkward) and hugs (reassuring). for now. we'll be roommates for a while, and it'll work because we are those kinds of people.

i will slowly retract my vines, disentange from you.

(your things are no longer in my room and i've put my stuffed animals back on the bed).

we'll both have learned from this, be stronger for it.

but on the night of... you told me you were sorry you had nothing good to say (when i held you, reassuring you). i said that i was sorry that i had nothing good to give. you told me to shut up, so i choose to believe you didn't mean it that way. (i never could, before).

when i went for a walk, you told me not to go lie in the fields and that was the sweetest thing you've ever said to me (because you remembered the one time i actually told you that i'd laid down in the fields to cry). so i didn't.

you were a stable presence when i most needed one and you never let me drown within myself. when i made things difficult, you didn't. when i tried to fight, you stopped me.

you let me learn that i am allowed to be upset, but that i also need to speak up for myself. that i am allowed to say no. that i can disengage. breathe.

we'll be able to enjoy nuggets again, one day. (i'm sure it'll be soon!)

but there will never be another nugget. that one's all you.

thank you.

idk if you do drabble requests but I love your writing so much! you really have a way with words so i was wondering if maybe you'd do a drabble about new!idol fem reader (can be solo or group w/e) who really looks up to and admires BTS and they meet her before watching her perform for the first time? also maybe there's some flirting? (idc which members I'm ot7) just one of my lil day dreams I wanna get out there 🥺 anyway! keep writing, you're genuinely really good 🫶🏻

I do now!! This sounded too cute to pass up 💕

Title: "Run."

Genre: drabble, one-shot, casual??? fluff??? idk how to describe this one lmao. I hope you enjoy!

Notes: y/s/n = "your stage name". Things that are underlined are links to the outfits described.

Your nerves had you literally shaking with anticipation as you waited behind the scenes of the show. So many incredible talents were performing today and here you were, an unknown newbie who was about to take the stage in front of a live audience. Why did they even want you to debut at this big of an event in the first place? Your manager reassured you it was because they believed in your talent and knew that taking a chance on you and letting your first performance be somewhere as prestigious as this would draw in fans, who would appreciate the unique sound you bring to the table. In particular, if the responses of other idols who are more famous and well-known were captured on camera and shared with their fanbase through broadcasts or similar media channels.

The way they styled you had you feeling nervous as well, with a form-fitting pink mini skirt that hugged your curves and a white button up top that was tucked in with a black and pink tie, adding a touch of elegance to your look. The cropped black blazer and black gogo boots with heels made you feel like you were going to fall at any moment, but the white leather garter with a chain on one of your thighs added a bold touch to your outfit. You felt a little exposed but you took a moment to be silently appreciative of the safety shorts you wore beneath your skirt.

You had always dreamed of being part of a group, working together towards a common goal. That's why you were initially brought on as a trainee for the company in the first place. However, after careful consideration and evaluation of your skills and strengths, it was ultimately decided that your talents would be best utilized flying solo. But you deeply wished you had people to lean on, members who could offer support and distract from your potential mistakes. You tugged at your skirt awkwardly as you stood around waiting for your time to perform. You still had nearly 30 minutes but you were too nervous to sit, instead you opted for watching the screen positioned on the wall, showing the current performers on stage.

You smiled at the screen at the talent being shown. BTS. You had a deep admiration for the group and enjoyed watching them perform their song DNA. The members exuded confidence and comfort on stage, making it seem like they never worried about mistakes at this point in their career. You watched as they moved fluidly across the stage, perfectly in sync with one another. 

A close up of Jimin had you grinning like an idiot. God he was pretty. Fuck, they all were. Hoseok with his vibrant smile, Namjoon with his unique features and buff build, Yoongi and his piercing eyes, Taehyung sporting the flirtiest looks you had ever seen, Jungkook somehow looking both innocent and dangerously delicious, and Jin with his world wide handsome face. And even more than their looks, they were so incredibly talented and hardworking.

You had heard the detailed story of how they rose to the top, overcoming numerous challenges and obstacles along the way. Their journey was filled with both good and bad experiences, but through it all, they showed great dedication and strength. And here you were, you hadn't even had your first performance yet and you had been ready to give up multiple times just during your 4 years of being a trainee. Working for the same label as the musicians who inspired you to pursue music in the first place left you feeling both grateful and slightly out of place, as if you hadn't earned your spot there yet.

You completely dismissed those thoughts and made your way towards the snack and beverage area, specifically designated for idols and staff members. You were in dire need of water and something sweet to give you an energy boost. As the boys finished their performance, the booming cheers from the crowd echoed through the air. You froze in surprise when you heard the seven of them laughing and panting out of breath as they entered the same room you were in. You attempted to seem nonchalant as they eagerly grabbed water bottles and snacks for themselves, while you discreetly tucked your hair behind your ear and reached for a water bottle too, all the while listening intently as Jungkook and Hoseok laughed uncontrollably about some unknown joke or incident.

In their fit of laughter Jungkook backed up into you, making you stumble back a bit. He whipped around suddenly "shit, sorry!" he apologized with a small bow. "Kookie you've gotta be more careful!" came a voice from behind you. The voice placed a hand on your shoulder. "You okay?" As you turned your head, you caught sight of Jimin with a gentle smile on his face. You quickly nodded in response, your eyes wide, causing him to let out a soft chuckle. "Hey! We making new friends?" Came Hoseok's voice as he reached his hand out to you. "I'm Hoseok. Or Hobi, J-Hope, whatever's fine." he said. His signature smile was contagious, spreading warmth to the pit of your stomach as he spoke. You took his hand lightly, stifling a giggle. "I uh, I know who you are. I'm y/n. Or y/s/n. Whatever's fine." You mimicked with a warm smile. He laughed. "Nice to meet you, y/n!" His hand was warm, and making your head swim, prompting you to let go.

"Wait, y/s/n?" Yoongi asked, stepping into the conversation. "The new girl? You're debuting today, right?" As you glanced in his direction, your nervousness was evident in the rapid nodding of your head. "Mhmm! In uh.." you checked the time on your phone. "shit.. 15 minutes actually." You said, taking a shaky breath in. "Nervous?" came Taehyung's voice from behind Yoongi.

You were now the center of attention for the seven boys, who were anxiously anticipating your next words. "Incredibly so.." you replied, making them all smile at you. "Hey I'm sure you're going to do great!" Namjoon chimed in "yeah, you're going to sound amazing!" Said Jin. They all nodded as you laughed

"you guys have never even heard me sing, how would you know?" You asked with a playful lilt in your voice. "Well, you're beautiful, so I'm sure your voice matches." God. Jimin was just as flirty as people described him, with a playful smile and a wink that could light up the room. You rolled your eyes with a laugh. "Smooth, pretty boy." You chuckled out, making him smirk. Jungkook looked you up and down for a moment "Your outfit looks great, your stylists did an amazing job." You took a moment to examine your outfit, making sure every piece was in its place and smoothing out any wrinkles on your skirt.

"Thanks, I actually had to beg them to add black into the theme. They originally wanted me in all pink and white and that's just... really not my vibe." This had Hoseok raising a brow. "What's not your vibe? ...sweet and innocent?" He asked with a smirk and the tilt of his head.

For just an instant, your eyes flickered with something that looked almost like mischief before settling back into their usual serenity; however fleeting this transformation may have been, its impact left ripples. Luckily you were saved by staff running up to you. "Y/n you have 10 minutes! Please come get your hair and makeup touched up!" The girl sounded almost panicked. You gave her a sweet smile. "Be right there!" You said, putting your sweet and shy persona back on. "I should run. Thanks for the pep talk, boys!" you said with a small bow. "You got this!" Namjoon said as you turned to leave. Jin's voice stopped you "would it make you more or less nervous if we said we'll be watching?" You paused for a moment in thought. "Hmm, well, I think I'd be more motivated not to fall on my ass if I knew THE Bangtan was watching my every move." This made them smirk. "We'll have our eyes glued to you then." Hoseok said with a subtle wink, his voice low. "You better." You replied amorously as you walked away.

With you fully out of earshot now, the boys spoke. "she's cute as hell."  Jungkook said. "Hm, she acts cute, but I think she's a little darker than that." Hoseok laughed. "Her and Jimin have the same vibes" Taehyung said playfully. "Oh, so I'm cute AND sexy? Thanks Taetae." Jimin retorted playfully, making the man roll his eyes. "Alright guys keep it in your pants." Yoongi commented. "Right, let's just go watch her performance like we promised, yeah?" Namjoon stated as they headed towards the changing room to switch outfits before returning to the audience.

As you stepped onto the stage, your nerves seemed to vanish into thin air as you effortlessly slipped into your performance persona. The song you performed was sultry, sassy, and sensual. Your manager referred to it as 'the triple S.' You found that you fell into the role easier than you thought you would since you discovered that with how bright the stage's colorful lights were, you could barely even see the crowd, but you could feel their energy and passion.

As your performance was coming to a close, one of your backup dancers suddenly fell near your feet. Despite knowing you needed to continue with the choreography, it felt wrong to simply step around her and ignore her situation. So, you decided to help her up while still singing and dancing, offering a reassuring smile and squeezing her hand gently when she looked panicked. She quickly fell back into the routine and the rest of the performance went on without another issue. 

As soon as you left the stage, you were immediately ushered off to change into more appropriate clothing for sitting in the audience with the other idols who either weren't performing or had already finished their performances. A simple long black dress with two high slits on either side, though you still wore a leather garter with a chain, this time in black though. Your seat was just a row behind the bts boys, you gave a small bow and a smile as you passed them. Once you sat down, Hoseok, Jimin, and Jungkook all turned around to give you a thumbs up or small claps, telling you that you had done a good job. Despite your best efforts you couldn't fight the bright smile that took over your features.

No more than 2 hours later you were at the after party being reprimanded by your manager for stopping mid performance to help your backup dancer. "You know you're supposed to keep going in instances like that!" She barked out. "I technically did keep going! I wasn't just going to ignore her while she was struggling!" You spat back with an eye roll, arms crossed over your chest. She let out a deep sigh, her shoulders sagging in resignation.

However, before she could continue with whatever she was going to say, you abruptly turned and started walking away from her. Unfortunately for you though, your hasty retreat led you straight into the path of an oncoming person - or more specifically, their chest - resulting in a jarring impact that sent you stumbling backward several steps. "fuck! I mean, augh... sorry!" you bowed. "We're just always bumping into each other, huh? Now we're even." you looked up to see Jungkook with a couple of the boys not far behind. You let out a small laugh "I guess we are." as Hoseok walked up, he peeked around you for a moment, eyeing your manager as she huffed and stomped away.

"You get in trouble for something?" he asked. You nodded with another eye roll. "She's upset that I stopped to help my backup dancer when she fell." His eyebrows furrowed "she's mad at you for being a kind a decent human being?" You smiled "that's one way to put it I suppose." you replied. Jimin, hearing the conversation being had, pouted "I thought it made you look cool and likeable!" he said with a tilt of his head. You anxiously fiddled with your fingers, feeling a bit nervous. "Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I really hope it didn't ruin the performance." Hoseok shook his head. "Not at all! You were amazing up there!" Jungkook and Jimin nodded, agreeing. "Let me get you something to drink to get your mind off it, yeah?" He added. You smiled "sure, that'd be great."

As Jimin and Jungkook started mingling with the crowd, you and Hoseok headed towards the bar, located at the distant end of the room. The venue had arranged for an assortment of drinks to be served, and the bartender was busy filling orders.

He ordered you your drink of choice and something for himself as well. You two engaged in a casual conversation for nearly half an hour, exploring various topics and discovering shared interests such as music, movies, and hobbies. The ice in your second round of drinks had mostly melted, indicating they were nearing completion when he posed the question "you wanna get out of here?"

Halting your speech mid-sentence, you turned to face him with an inquiring gaze before your expression shifted into a sly grin that showed your true intentions. "Absolutely." You responded. He grinned widely as he grabbed your hand, his grip firm and confident, leading you towards the exit with purpose.

As you walked, he waved goodbye to his members, a gesture that seemed almost automatic. You spotted your manager heading towards you, her expression written in annoyance, causing your heart to race in anticipation. You gave Hoseok's hand a stern warning squeeze as your manager approached, making him raise an eyebrow at you in confusion. However, the mischievous grin spreading across your features told him everything he needed to know - you had no intention of being deterred by anyone.

"Run."

You said before pulling him into a dash towards the exit. You both burst into a fit of laughter as you rapidly made your way out of the building, the sound of your hurried footsteps on the hard floor growing fainter with each passing second until you were no longer in sight.

Tonight might be fun after all, you decided.

aaaa okay how was that? Thoughts? Critiques? Requests? Let me know what's up. Love you!! 🩷

+ this is from bills perspective

Ich Bin Nich' Ich

meine augen schaun mich müde an und finden keinen trost

I laid down in my bed, my head pounding achingly from tonight's show. Sweat dripped down my forehead and rolled onto my pillow as I turned over. My shallow breathing was catching up to me and my eyes closed ever-so lightly. The cold pillow was a perfect embrace after the show tonight. Well—almost perfect.

My heart twinged with sadness as you came into my head. You always sat in the back of my head like a lingering melody, haunting and sweet. My mind never was able to get fully rid of you, especially now since we're on tour. Your soft and supple hands always seemed to fit perfectly in mine. You're glistening eyes, staring back at me and that enchanting smile that sat flawlessly upon your face. Nothing could ever pull me away from staring at you when we were together. Everything about you always made me feel like we were destined to be brought together, we fit so well with each other and our bodies seemed to always be pulling towards each other like magnets.

My fingernails dug into the bed sheets as I closed my eyes to "watch" you. Who cares if I couldn't see you right now, right? I could always close my eyes and watch the way your perfect body; your perfect everything, moved like the water as you glided through the air, running towards me whenever we would see each other again.

That wouldn't be for months, though..

The coldness of my pillow was fading as my body denied itself rest. I couldn't fall asleep with the sound of your angelic voice, whispering in my head. Which was ironic, because that voice was the same one that always helped me fall asleep on my hardest nights. Nothing right now could ever comfort me.. not unless you showed up.

I groaned in annoyance as a soft knock cracked against my door. Who needs to talk to me right now, it's 11 o' clock at night.

I pulled myself up off of my bed; the bedsheets lightly sticking to my skin from the sweat that once dripped from my body. Walking felt like trying to pull myself through quicksand, all I wanted to do was to see you. You see you—no, feel you jump into my arms and press your beautiful lips up against mine.

God, how amazing that would feel right now.

My body finally brought itself to the door and my hand slowly pulled it open to see a face I had known for quite some time.

"Tom?" I mumbled out, pressed my face into the tinted wall, "What are you doing up here?" I asked, my breath feeling heavy again.

"We're going to a party, are you coming or are you going to coop yourself up in your room again, for the nth time in a row." He spouted at me.

I rolled my eyes before telling him I'd be staying in my room again. He may have seemed a little agitated about that, but from the way he was looking at me, I think he could tell what was wrong. He always knew what was wrong.

"It's always obvious, your eyes tell us everything, Bill.." He would say to me every once in a while when I felt down. I guess I was never the one who was good at hiding my feelings, especially from my brother.

ich kann mich nich' mehr mit ansehen—bin ich los

alles was hier mal war—kann ich nich' mehr in mir finden

I forced myself into the bathroom, my hands gripping onto the sink in front of me as my eyes hesitated to look myself in the face. I'm sure I looked awful. Ever since I met you, I never felt like myself without you. You brought the me out of me. That's what I loved about you so much.

My eye makeup was smeared a bit and some of my mascara had run down my cheeks. I honestly looked like a mess. I blinked in the mirror, watching myself crumble. I needed you so badly. This was one of the hard nights, the hard nights when I really needed you.

The water i splashed upon my face dripped down my neck as my eyes slowly came upwards to look myself in the face.

I could never seem to see myself when you weren't with me, you always made me feel so much better. About everything and anything. I'm still not sure how you did it..

alles weg—wie im wahn, seh ich mich immer mehr verschwinden

My freshly dried face from a cotton towel felt stiff as tears rolled down my cheeks. My eyes stung with a fiery intensity that only someone as gracious and wonderful as you.

My body didn't seem like my own anymore as I crashed down against the soft, recently sweaty bed. Makeup smeared on the pillow as my cheek rested against it, staring over at the dimly lit; slightly sparky (?) lamp next to me. The curtains surrounding my room seemed to understand my awful being right now as I could feel more tears threatening to spill over my waterline, down my face.

I could almost swear this was an out of body experience, maybe I was just tired. Everything around me felt like a dream and I could feel myself slipping away. My body, my dreams, my everything. Nothing felt real anymore. Not when I'm away from you.

ich bin nich' ich wenn du nich' bei mir bist—bin ich allein

und das was jetzt noch von mir übrig ist...

My breath was caught in my throat as more memories of you poured into my head.

××× I remember the first time I saw you—

Walking outside the studio while everybody else finished up inside, the cold wind blowing in my face, brushing my hardened bangs to the side. My teeth lightly chattered as you flowed by me. I could swear you were an angel.

From your angelic face, to your scent. You were absolutely perfect and I was infatuated with you. I remember thinking someone like you would never go for someone like me.. right?

How happy I was when I figured out I was wrong.

From the way you held yourself to your laughter to your strength. You were everything I was looking for and more. How could I stumble upon love so quickly? How was I so lucky to have you enthralled with me.

You had never even heard of my band yet, you weren't a crazy, obsessed fan girl. You weren't someone looking for a one night stand or someone who wanted fame by association. You were so beautiful and real and absolutely raw. I still don't understand sometimes why you chose me, but I'm so glad you did.

×××

but here... without you. I feel as though I've lost a part of me. Like I'm not me when I'm not with you. I don't feel whole and I don't think I will until we've been reunited.

××× you're bright red, slushy red tongue seemed to gawk at my blue one as we laughed. I laid my around around you as we walked through the park. I finally had a day off from rehearsing and playing live shows, to hang out with you.

I swear my heart was going to explode out of my chest just from staring down into your beautiful eyes. The way you were staring up at me—i don't think I had ever loved somebody so much. You were my true "everything".

××× your warm breath, slowly yet calmly blowing against my neck as you fell into a deep slumber was probably one of the most relaxing things I could ever dream of. My arms were wrapped around you as the TV quietly played in the background. My body had never felt so amazing. And now with you—you just made everything so much better.

My hands glided into your hair as you snuggled closer into me. With the warm air surrounding us and the soft hum of the noise around us. Everything seemed absolutely perfect.

How could I live without you?

will ich nich' sein

draußen hängt der himmel schief

und an der Wand dein abschiedsbrief

ich bin nich' ich wenn du nich' bei mir bist—bin ich allein

I slowly closed my eyes, my body finally relaxing. Ever-so slightly, at least. We'd be together again soon, I'm not sure why tonight was so hard for me, to be without you.. but I cannot wait to see your sparkling beauty staring back at me when we come together again. I don't feel like myself right now, but hopefully with time, you will bring that back to me...

sorry this isn't longer 😭 I hope you guys enjoyed this though! also here are the English translations for the lyrics. They're pretty accurate, but some stuff may be a little off 😞

translations:

one: My eyes show off all of my sadness, and find no comfort here.

two: I can't face myself anymore, I'm not me.

three: Everything that was here, I cannot find myself inside me.

four: Swept away like a dream, I see myself vanish more and more.

five: I'm not myself when you're not, not with me, i'm all alone.

six: And everything that is still left of me.

seven: I don't want to be outside the heavens hang a slope and on the wall your farewell note. I'm not myself when you're not, not with me, I'm alone.

also this isn't proofread, so if there are any mistakes sorry!!

taglist: none yet

omg your last update on bbb literally left me wrecked (in the best way possible ofc). They finally have the TalkTM but the ending???? keep up the amazing job of leaving me shook >:)

Also I think the song "You Know I Love You Still" by Kacy Hill fits the bbb playlist perfectly! you should try it out

Aaaah thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you like the mess, I've been having such a blast writing this story (where everyone is possibly the worst version of themselves 🤣)

And thank you for the rec! This song is so PERFECT for them:

If there was a way to make this go away

I would do it all again

By now I know better

Should let you go forever

But I know I never can

God I'm always dyin to

Give it one more try 'cause

The heartbreak's half the thrill

And you know I love you still

Oh desire

It makes me wanna die

I think that I'm strong but

I give in every time

I don't wanna beg for your affection

Or question your intention

Ooh I was young and I miss the way you meant it

It's so them 😭😭 the way they push and pull against each other and they bicker all the time but they still can't stay away even when it hurts... (or perhaps because it hurts so good 😩) I've also been thinking a lot about how they're both yearning for the past and how close they used to be and why this is a big part of why they can never move on so this just hits aaaaall those spots 🥹

Added it to the playlist!! 🥰

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

your local asra music peddler is back-

Ahem

beautiful things by benson boone (paranoid asra hits hard fr. Like asra knowing rationally that mc’s back but his heart’s still in turmoil cause he doesn’t think hed be able to take losing them again?? Oof)

the apparition by sleep token (whenever i play this song i imagine like. Plague era asra dreaming that mc is alive again and trying to make the most of that time together because he knows it won’t last)

home by edith whiskers (this is just the song that i feel encapsulates asra’s vibe rly well. It’s just ;-;; very fitting. If mc was one word to asra i think it’d be home.)

Double take by dhruv (immaculate vibes. Immaculate. you know that thing asra does in game where he kinda just has the tendency to gaze at mc and completely zone out of everything else. That’s exactly it)

mystery of love by sufjan stevens (also just the vibes. Plague era asra recalling memories of mc before they died :’) being simultaneously astounded at the love they shared and overwhelmed by the emptiness he’s left with now

On that note, im actually in the middle of doing an animatic for that last one which is- still wrapping my head around that ngl- but i realized halfway through it actually works perfectly for the daydreams and nightmares prompt so that’s extra motivation to get it done lol

Still working on the idea of my art being Percieved and that it doesn’t have to be perfect before being shown to others and it might not be as good as some of the others out there and thats fine so. Crossing my fingers i won’t chicken out on it and actually put something up on this blog, never thought i’d live to see the day but here we are

Anyway look at this absolute monstrosity

Uh and heres one frame but my art style is wildly inconsistent so i guarantee 80% will look entirely different. Such are the woes of art

Sorry for this absolute wall of text (literally giggling and kicking my feet rn the brainrot is real) + hope you have a nice day :D

@stickyduckdukcydkjeiddkk ahhh so many awesome song suggestions! Thank you friend, I've added these to the playlist and I'm putting them on the tag! ^.^

Also I can't wait to see the animatic you're working on, the frame you've shared here looks lovely! Thank you for showing it to me!! :D

[ask-serendipity-sky]

Serendipity, pt.4: jikook

Where do I begin?

"I am you. You are me."

In my opinion, this song was not written with jikook in mind, but both Jimin and Jungkook made this song theirs and of course they would!

It fits their story perfectly.

The phrase "I am you, you are me" was coined by the artist Zico in his music video for the song of the same name. This was released in January 24, 2016.

In the song, the characters notice the similarities in the stuff they do and wear. In one particular scene, both characters have bandaids on their fingers.

Jikook were both seen wearing matching bandaids in a fan meet in April 2016. When asked about it, Jimin mentioned Jk gave him and Jk wore one too. When Jk was asked about it, he said he wore it just because.

"I am you, you are me."

Serendipity was released on September 4, 2017 and Namjoon explained that the lyrics took a long time to write. Also, Zico's song was well received in Korea which makes me think that Namjoon and jikook both were inspired by this song...separately. Which is to be expected.

In the music video, the date 2017.09.01 appears. While many might think this is due to Jk's birthday and therefore the song was a gift from Jimin to him, the date is when the video was approved and finalized (if I'm not mistaken). This is truly a coincidence.

The first mention of the famous Serendipity phrase was in the Run BTS episode 62, when both Jimin and Jungkook got the same score in the machine that measure the strengths of their fingers.

Jk mentions it must the destiny but Jimin, not a destiny believer, says, "I told you. I am you, you are me" which means that they had had a conversation about their similarities before.

In these past years, Jimin and Jungkoo quoted the song for the most random things.

Both were feeling the hot temperatures of Malta?

"I am you, you are me."

Jimin had to talk about Serendipity?

Jikook came back from Tokyo? Jimin sang Serendipity while looking straight at Jk.

Touching each other's fingertips became their thing as they serenaded each other "Neoneun na, Naneun neo."

Jungkook was an avid fan of the song and was often seen seen watching Jimin rehearse the song for their tour.

Jungkook, being the big supporter of the song, would also get triggered by little things and he would randomly burst into song.

In 2020, Jk wrote his FESTA profile about Jimin and described Jimin as his “You are me, I am you."

Not only has jikook made the song theirs, they literally accused the writer of the song of plagiarism when Namjoon used a phrase similar to

"I am you, you are me."

They truly applied the song to their lives as little coincidences added up...just like in Zico's music video.

"I am you, you are me."

Personally, I can't get behind the theory that Namjoon wrote this song for jikook because that would be very weird. Namjoon would have had to be ok with writing about jikook blooming...I mean..

Namjoon also had a very clear idea of what he wanted the song to convey and how he wanted it to sound. From the sounds of that, he wasn't taking recommendations from the members. Serendipity was Namjoon's statement.

Also, the BTS book revealed that Jimin found the penicillium line funny so it makes me think that Jimin wouldn't be laughing if Jk was indeed the penicillium the song was referring to.

The song is incredibly intimate and personal so attributing it to other people feels like an insult to Namjoon's artistry.

However, I do believe that jikook made the song theirs and took the lyrics to heart.

Being from Busan, debuting with BTS, being dancers and singers, having similar goals and work ethic, and the little coincidences that connect them do make it seem like the song was serendipity for them as well.

"I am you. You are me."

OMG I LOVED YOUR ALIEN STAGE X ALENOAH DRAWING!! ive been thinking about it for a while but didnt know how to make it work but you portrayed it perfectly with the role swap au!! i wasnt sure how it would fit but you nailed it amazingly!!

im so glad to have found another alien stage & total drama fan! (ik these fandoms have literally no relation to each other but i still hold them very close to my heart lol) the songs are a banger and the animation is so beautiful, not to mention the deep story and how everything connects to each other

also, your artstyle is so nice!! it looks so neat and kinda close to the original style while also adding uniqueness (i think thats a word? idk 😭😭)

hope u have a great day <33 (and sorry for the rant)

The role swap Ruler of My heart was in my head the moment I heard that song. And it fits so much, considering that Swap Noah is manipulating and trying to get a rise out of Swap Alejandro 80% of the time they spend together.

I found Vivino's videos because a friend recommended the My September song. And then Alien Stage gripped my heart and broke it. I freaking love Hyuna and Ivan so much, and Sua deserved so much better I SWEAAAAAAAAAAAR, WHY DO YOU ALWAYS KILL THE LESBIAN VIVINOOOSSSSSSSSS

I really appretiate the kind comment about my art!! AWOOOOGAAAA I'm not that confident in it since it's so inconsistent sometimes, so hearing that people like it feels like a weight off my chest.

I hope you have a great day too!

✭°。°。✭°。°。✭°。°。✭°。°。

Dropping out the heavy grocery bags by the door was the last thing Regulus did before throwing his body on the couch with a huff. He was worn out and therefore certain he could sleep forty hours straight and still feel tired.

He took a glimpse at the door — still open — debating whether he should make the effort of getting up from his comfortable position to shut it or not. His gaze fell on the vibrant red converse shoes sitting by the doorstep.

His lips twitched in a knowing smile.

It was in this hard pondering that he heard the muffled singing from upstairs. Out of tune and completely off beat, that could only be the voice of his boyfriend.

Of course, it didn't make any sense that someone else would be showering in his bedroom, but yes, that was definitely James’ excitement singing to I Loved You First by One Direction.

“That's an old one,” Regulus mumbled, leaning against the bathroom wall as he inspected the curly haired with a mess of shampoo falling in his eyes. A vision he had been rather accustomed to by now, but he still enjoyed watching.

James blinked quickly, shoving water in his eyes to be able to see the blurred image of his boyfriend's small frame since he didn't have his glasses on.

“Reg!”

“James,” Regulus replied amusedly, taking a few steps forward. The song ended and switched to You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift. He sighed. “Same playlist?”

James beamed fondly, opening the shower stall to hug Regulus, who backed away and pointed a finger at him threateningly “No. You stay there. You're making everything wet.”

“Am I?” James sent him a wriggle of eyebrows. “Then get in here, baby.”

Regulus scowled, “James. Not in that way. Literally. Just because you don't have your glasses on doesn't mean things aren't happening.”

James laughed, almost slipping on his own feet if Regulus hadn't jumped in and held him by the shoulders. “You don't know how to stand still?” he shook his head, brushing some of James’s raven curls back.

He ends up getting his cheeks smeared with his boyfriend's scented peach shampoo and a wet kiss on his lips. Regulus sighed in contentment, annoyance slipping away like water down the drain.

Until James pulled him in completely. Regulus cried out because of the cold water. His clothes immediately getting damp and sticky to his limbs. James brushed his hair back just as he had done to him previously, the fondest gaze being directed to the boy in his arms as he caressed his cheeks and the back of his neck.

“Hi.” James cups his cheeks as his eyes locked into gray ones he'd love to drown in.

“I'm going to kill you.” Regulus attempts to scowl but the warmth of James’ hands doesn't let him do any other action but melt under his touch.

James leaned in for another kiss and Regulus pinched his elbow, breaking the spell between them, and earns a shriek in surprise.

“You pinched me!” James exclaims rubbing the abused spot.

“You've wet all of my clothes.” Regulus said in a flat tone for good comparison.

“I'd do it again because of that attitude, Mr. Black,” James let out in a low whisper, cleaning up the shampoo in the boy's cheek gently. “We're saving up water,” he added with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Regulus pressed his lips together, “You're an idiot.”

“I'm your idiot.”

“Such a sap,” Regulus wraps both hands around James’ waist and they fit there perfectly like they always do. Regulus pulls him closer and sees James’ lips quirk upwards on one side. “But, yes. My idiot.” he mumbles, bumping their noses softly, long eyelashes tickling his cheeks.

James hums, tilting his head to peck his lips. “You took your time in Sirius' apartment.”

Regulus rolls his eyes, “He was in need of advice. The twat.”

James snickers in amusement, “Okay. And what was the advice about?”

A smirk spread around Regulus’ face as he started to play with James’ curls again, not much damp now since the shower had been turned off.

“Wouldn't you like to know.”

James blinks, “Oh,” his groan is inevitable. “You and Sirius have little secrets now? That ended so well last time.”

Regulus chuckles softly, “Yeah. But we're still the ones that can actually keep secrets, it didn't end well because you found out.”

“Hey,” James pouts, poking his cheek “Remus found out, too.”

“That wasn't the issue, darling.” James sighs, laying his face in the croak of Regulus’ neck, causing him to shiver slightly. “What?” Regulus prompts, running a hand through James’ arm.

“I love it when you call me that.”

Regulus pressed his lips against his temple, “Darling?”

James hums in his neck, closing the already minimum space by involving his arms around his boyfriend's shoulders.

“We should dry up.” Regulus chimes after a moment of blissful silence. He was sure James was falling asleep standing upright. Then the image of the grocery bags and the open door causes him to grumble in annoyance. “I haven't stowed the groceries yet.”

James leans back, forehead creasing in a confused frown, “You went grocery shopping? Why didn't you call me?”

Regulus shrugged, “I had my car.”

“Did you come up with all of it?”

“Was I supposed to leave it in the lobby, my darling?” Regulus smiles as James scrunched his nose in exasperation. “'s fine. Wasn't that heavy.”

“We were supposed to go together later in the evening, you stubborn git.”

“I was thinking that we could do something else instead, actually.” Regulus retorts, “If you want to.”

“Name it, baby,” James says. “I'll do whatever you want me to.” Regulus couldn't control the blush that would eventually coat his cheeks every time James would say things like that even before they became serious. Here he is, three years later, heart beating faster and neck warming up at the mere comment he receives every single day. James gives him a smile in satisfaction and kisses him again. “Remus would call me a simp now,” he mutters against his lips.

“Because you are,” croaks out Regulus, fluttering his eyes shut in delight as James begins kissing the side of his neck and down his collarbones. “James,” he calls in a compromised voice. James leans down to his torso and he knows he has to stop or they would be doing much more with the front door not only unlocked but wide open. “Darling, hey. James.” When James finally stands back up, Regulus hands him the towel and leaves the shower stall in a hurry.

“Where are you going?” James asks as if Regulus is leaving to go to War. He grips the towel, steps out of the stall and starts drying his body quietly. When he hears nothing, he calls out dramatically, “Baby! Come back to me!”

“Stop acting as if I left you forever,” Regulus walks back into their room after rightfully locking the door just as James exits the bathroom. Towel around his hip and glasses on his face helping him see everything clearly. A laugh blurts out of him when he takes in his boy's disheveled state: dark blue t-shirt and black trousers completely wet. “Are you laughing at me? You made me into a wet penguin, happy?” Regulus complains while rolling his eyes.

“Very.” James says non-apologetically. “Looking beautiful as always.”

Regulus slips the sticky t-shirt off of him and the pants are the next to go. James halts on his way to their closet to get dressed and pursue his lips in thought.

“Is that a test?” He asks suggestively, tilting his head.

Regulus flips him off and follows to the bathroom. James chuckles to himself, making a mental note to put a warm jumper of his on the bed so he could render his lover a little bit less annoyed at him.

They meet in the living room after Regulus is done with his long shower. His descending the stairs when James soft humming reaches his eardrums. The smell of coffee draws him to the kitchen.

Jamea greets him with a cup and a kiss on the cheek, muttering a soft “for you, baby” and steps back to rummage through the grocery bags. He was almost finished stowing the items away.

“Thank you,” he could hear Regulus smile without turning to look at him. “Need any help?”

James shakes his head, “No. Almost done. D'you want to watch a movie?” His eyes then glimmer in remembrance, “Unless what you have planned requires us to...”

Regulus lowers the cup to answer, “I made dinner reservations. At eight. We've got time.”

“Where?” James inquired curiously, closing the fridge as he finished with the groceries.

“Wouldn’t you like to know.” Regulus smirks knowing that James gets pissed off by this sentence. That earns him a soft poke in the ribs.

“Stop being so annoying.”

“You love me like this.”

“That I do,” James rolls his eyes fondly, following to the couch and throwing himself on it. He waits for Regulus to approach, place the cup of coffee on the coffee table and lay down on the space he left for him. Their limbs knit together as soon as he does. “Cute outfit.”

An arm hooked its way to the middle of James’ back, cold hands causing him to flinch slightly.

“Thank you. It belongs to me.” Regulus let out in a whisper. James didn't disagree because every sweater, every shirt, every fabric of his at some point had fitted Regulus’ frame. Even if way bigger than the clothes he usually wears. It's how I like it. Regulus insists.

James likes it too.

“Every ounce of my being belongs to you,” He said, tracing the path to each mole on his pale boy's face until it reached the old white line at his right cheek. Regulus was drifting off already but he felt the familiar outline of a star made by soft touches in the spot. “So yes,” James leans down to kiss the scar. “You're kind of right.”

He was. Yes.

No words needed to be said to the fact that Regulus was unmistakably his, too.

“We should dance to the refrigerator light.” James blurts out after a while. Too much silence, he couldn't handle it for a long period of time.

Regulus tapped his chest, humming drowsily in a way of quietly agreeing with him. He didn't know what he was agreeing to but he'd do whatever James wanted. Let's throw ourselves out of the building? Jump in the ocean with sharks? Tell Sirius his hair isn't pretty? Yes to all of the above.

James’ lips twitch slightly, studying his boyfriend's sleepy state. He rests his cheek on top of Regulus’ head and the sweet smell of his curls make him feel safe and right at home. He falls asleep not soon after.

OKAY HEAR ME OUT: ✨WARRIOR CATS TEAM STARKID MUSICAL✨

THIS CONTAINS WARRIOR CATS SPOILERS BY THE WAY

Like I know that probably none of the StarKids have even heard of a Warrior Cat, but here are some very important reasons as to why I think this would be an amazing idea. Nick Lang, take notes.

LET FIRESTAR SAY FUCK

StarClan could be added to the StarKid Pantheon alongside the Duck and the Lords in Black

We could see our favourite Team StarKid cast members dressed as characters from Cats

It'd be funny.

So, who would play which characters then?

Well, I haven't thought about the entire cats- I mean, cast yet, but right now I'm thinking Joey Richter could play the protagonist, Firepaw, and Lauren Lopez could play Bluestar, ThunderClan's leader.

Firepaw, especially after he first joins the clans, has very similar to Bug from Starship, and both Life and Status Quo would probably fit right in as a one if his I Want songs. Also, that whole thing about proving your worth to new people and saying no to the status quo just fits perfectly!

Bluestar is played by Lauren specifically because she has the same vibes to Cynthia Houston from Spies are Forever. That's, uh. Basically it honestly.

I would like to note that with casting for Tigerclaw, the main big bad, I don't really know who to cast as him. I'm leaning towards casting either Jeff Blim or Dylan Saunders. Dylan especially because even though we now know him for mainly playing DILFS (Tom Houston from the Hatchetfield series and Ja'far from Twisted), he'd probably bring the same energy that he has playing Pincer from Starship to the character of Tigerclaw. Also, no I will not be apologizing for calling Tom and Ja'far DILFs. I am right, fight me.

I will just like to clarify right now that, because it's very hard to condense 6 whole books into one musical, I'm instead thinking it'd be better to do TWO musicals. The first musical would follow books 1-3, culminating with Tigerclaw's exile, and the second would follow books 4-6. Does that make sense? Cool!

Anyways, plot time! While it would hopefully follow the plot of the first arc, I would like to point out that the beginning would heavily focus on one of Firepaw's, real, CANONICAL MOTIVATIONS for joining ThunderClan. This motivation being: He didn't want to get his balls cut off.

And no, I'm not shitting you. Behold, the scene where Bluestar tells Rusty (Firepaw's name when he was still a houscat) that he will lose his balls if he stays with his twolegs (owners).

"But Indi, talking about a cats balls might be going too far!!!!!" I hear you yelling. First, Me And My Dick exists, and one of the most iconic scenes from Twisted is literally a bunch of people talking about Prince Achmed fucking a tiger. I think we're fine.

In fact, fuck it, have AN ENTIRE SONG about Rusty not wanting to lose his balls and Bluestar accidentally making it sound like she will personally cut off Rusty's balls if he doesn't join ThunderClan.

Soooo, yeah! That's basically all the ideas I have for now. Hope y'all enjoy my ADHD fuelled rambling!

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

When My You came out I complained that it was too basic (though, tbf, Jungkook only wrote the lyrics and used the beat his company had given him for Army's birthday song, and I still cried watching the MV because it was so cute, and the song and Jungkook's vocals are so sweet), but I really like the song now. It's so relaxing, peaceful, and comforting. It's so pretty. When Jungkook starts singing in Korean I'm always like "Yeah, now that's better". t doesn't matter how simple the instrumental is when Jungkook fills it up with his voice. He layers songs with vocals, essentially writing them with his voice. It's genius and sounds beautiful, and makes any song 10 times more interesting. It's a shame he doesn't get credited on Spotify for it (he gets credited for the chorus). I say this all the time but his backup vocals are often the only thing differentiating the verses and choruses and adding progression to the song. Dynamite's last chorus literally sounds the same as the first two - Jungkook's key change and other adlibs are the only thing taking the song to a climax. And don't get me started on ON, Jungkook's back up vocals are vital to that song. Jungkook went crazy on ON. Some of Jungkook's absolute best adlibs are on that track. The thing about Jungkook's adlibs and harmonies is that they're not predictable or cliché. It's common to add high notes to the last chorus (UO: but I really love Twice's backing vocals in songs, I think they're some of the best in kpop, yet I know people often dislike their high notes). However, Jungkook is unpredictable. You know he will do his thing, but he never sounds like he's just flexing his vocals or going through the motions. His backing vocals are completely unique and fit their part of the song perfectly, sounding so natural. He rarely overpowers the lead vocals and never breaks the flow of the song - even though he often sings throughout the whole track. This is an aspect of singing that is particularly creative but singers don't get any credit for because they're not the producers or songwriters. I'm pretty sure that most of Jungkook's adlibs, harmonies, etc. are his own input. I've seen producers guide Jungkook when recording a song but I've never seen them tell him when to adlib. I literally say this all the time, but he does not get enough credit for his backing vocals. It's one of his strongest qualities as a singer and artist and sets him apart from anyone else.

Back to my original point, My You is reallyyyyy nice.

[beautifulpersonpeach]

Hello there! Do you have some tips for dealing with a news album release by the Tannies?

I'm very slow when it comes to these things and get overwhelmed very quickly. I'm also not someone that usually listens to an entire album in one go. I tend to hyperfixate on one specific song (I feel like 80 percent of Troye Sivan's "Bloom" Spotify streamings came from me this year) and create my own mood playlists with different artists and put that on repeat.

And now with RM's new album, there's so much to unpack. There seems to be so much meaning.

I just watched the Wildflowers MV and I'm already emotionally overwhelmed (okay, I'm also currently on my period lol). But I do want to explore the artistry behind "Indigo"…but I need time.

Is there a good way to approach this? First listening to the sound? Then the lyrics? Then reading people's analysis? How do you approach a new album release?

***

Hi @guacamoli-avocadorado !

I have to admit first that I have a bit of a cheat code. I do understand Korean, so much of the lyrical expression, wordplay, etc, are things I typically pick up after only a couple of listens.

But I also think your way of doing things is already perfectly fine. You said you’re “slow” when it comes to fully taking in their music, but since when is that a bad thing? It is very fine to get into their music at your own pace. And I really mean that.

My favourite thing about any comeback is the interviews, and the way I get into music is to follow wherever my curiosity leads me.

I usually first listen to the whole album once on Spotify or Apple Music (depending on which I have open at the time). I just let it run through without thinking about it at all.

Then I watch the MV or whatever is released as the MV title track.

Then (not usually on purpose but life happens), I take a break. I don’t listen to anything but just do something else for a while. Usually during this time, one of the guys will come online to do a Wlive to explain the album/song, or there’s be some kind of official media (magazine interviews, tv interviews etc) explaining the album and I personally take my time listening to and reading these before getting back into the album.

Afterwards I listen to the whole album again and just let it play through. By this time I’ve gravitated towards one song or the other and I either replay those songs or begin adding them to my playlists. I also like to listen with different headphones and speakers at about the 5th listen. This might seem a bit much, but I think the members seem to have a preference for making music in specific frequencies and media. For example, I think Yoongi's music sounds better on speakers, Hobi's best on headphones (with the exception of Chicken Noodle Soup), and Joon seems to optimize for a mix of both.

I also have a Shazam playlist that I actively keep, and this way I can pair similar sounding songs.

I take long breaks often because I like to switch up what I listen to. So for example, just now, right after listening to the whole album again, I played my Hebrew music playlist (~20 mins), then a heavy grunge rock + rap playlist (~25 mins), then came back to Indigo. I don’t usually add the new songs to my playlists until a day or two later after I have an idea of how those songs fit with what I typically listen to.

Occasionally my friends send me ARMY theories about the songs, but as I said, I typically get the lyrics right away and over the course of days and weeks I sort of organically hear about fan theories for the songs etc.

Please don’t feel pressure to stream as hard as you can if you’re not inclined to do that anyway. Everybody in this fandom literally just does what they want, so why can’t you? Do what you want. If you feel overwhelmed by the music, video, theories etc, just take a break for as long as you want. When Mono first dropped, I didn’t listen to it for weeks. I was busy with work and just not that curious about the album though of course I love Joon. I got into it when I wanted and didn’t love it right away. But as I've said before, Joon makes music for use, and one day I was sitting in traffic in my car, it was raining, and Bad Bye came on and it felt absolutely perfect. I made the whole album play through for over an hour and I’ve loved that album deeply since that day, playing it very frequently when in that 'use' scenario.

Give yourself time. People on Twitter talk a big game but some people are just saying and doing stuff to keep up appearances. Do what you want when you want to. It’s music, not the bar exam. Whatever you’re doing is already fine.

[darkclouud9]

don't get me wrong or anything, it's good to have one of my favourite games to be represented and all but like.

it's just sad

Champion of Destruction is primarily Count Bleck, and ACTUALLY utilises Tippi in the song. Tippi even being there is great on its on, but they specifically use her as a promise and it's perfect. (and this song also has all of Count Bleck's minions, but unfortunately Mimi and Nastasia's vocals are smooshed into one)

O'Chunks, Warrior, obviously uses O'Chunks. can't complain about him. he's used perfectly with references all around the place. also his voice is amazing.

Mimi the Shapeshifter?? no idea where the name cane from. sure. shes a shapeshifter. but none of her songs are titled that. one refers to her as Copycat though 🧍‍♂️ her vocals are great, especially her 'Mimimimi' laugh ough she's so great I love her

literally though chapter 2 utilises the same motif for like 5 of its songs (but it's good bc they're all unique and it's a great motif so I can't even complain. I actually really love reused motifs so.)

Nastasia unfortunately has no motif and you don't fight her, and she's basically never seen alone, do she gets the bad end, earning Castle Bleck, the closest thing to her bc she's the only minion that's never seen outside Castle Bleck except for post game. it's the song that matches her best tbf. and it's used INCREDIBLY. mixed with her whole brainwashing bit, and then the brainwashed enemies JOINING the song?? it's so so good. and Castle Bleck is an amazing piece by itself, and they used every part of it so well. perfection.

Brobot Battle, again, can't complain. best part about it is they kept Mr. L's names for the heroes, even when they're so long they don't fit with the song, but they pulled it off, again, perfectly :3 much like O'chunks, they went heavy with the accent and it's amazing. also love how all the minions above get the 'three cheers for the Count' because they're all loyal (even though Mr. L is brainwashed)

and then Dimentio isn't loyal so he doesn't get the 'three cheers for the Count', and unfortunately he gets 2 songs. which is where I can complain.

spoiler alert

Dimentio is a twist villain who ends up betraying Count Bleck and is the actual final boss.

which. sure. give him his normal battle theme and his epic finale theme. good. (secondary complaint is that the dude who does most of the planning voices Dimentio and I'm pretty sure it's just for the spotlight. which annoys me. Dimentio's songs aren't that good in comparison to the others imo. also I feel his voice is a bit off. but again, it's his doing, he can play what he wants and control what he wants.)

but what really gets me is that not even Count Bleck gets his battle music. he gets his MOTIF. but that's at the very beginning of the game, PRE GAME when he summons the Chaos Heart. and the Tippi mixed in is amazing. but like. Count Bleck. he gets one fight. Dimentio gets 3 fights.

another thing added in is: Mimi and Mr. L's second fights have different music (O'Chunks is the same for all 4, but does have a secondary song, just not a battle theme, even then, they actually used his leitmotif, not his battle theme 🧍‍♂️)

I just think secondary songs for Mimi, O'Chunks, n Mr. L could've been cool. unfortunately I don't think there's even another song that even remotely could've been used for Nassy, my favourite character -_- she got drowned out :(

which is really unfortunate given her character, I mean she sacrifices herself for Count Bleck, whom she loves deeply, but cannot have him because he loves another, I mean she literally even has a humanoid form because of him!! she's (implied to be) a bat!!! she loved him so much she took his form!! and she's stoic through the whole game until the end where she breaks down (I feel so bad :(( I'd cry with her) and she actually opens up to the player post game (not many dialogue boxes I wouldn't assume :/)

she got done SUPER dirty. I guess she's just a tragic character with no real happy ending (except O'Chunks there for her who wants to take her out for lunch but you never get that option >:( we were ROBBED)

anyway basically I just hate how Dimmy gets 2 songs but no one else but especially Blecky ol boy considering he's the MAIN FUCKING VILLAIN 😭😭

I'll go cry it's okay

[scoups]

okay i saw eric nam ask mark lee (nct) this so i'm sending it to a bunch of people bc i'm curious: you have to make a kpop super group consisting of at least 5 idols from any existing group, who are the members?

hehe thank you for asking this!! tbh i have thought about this so in depth since you sent this, it’s kind of embarrassing! i … literally came up with two separate groups just because i had too many thoughts about this 😭

exo - baekhyun : i mean… vocal powerhouse!! very versatile voice, so he can fit any concept perfectly. with that being said i think that makes it easier for others to kind of… match him? i hope that makes sense. or rather, it makes it easier for bbh to match others… idk! musically bbh is one of my all time favorite artists so 🫡

exo - chanyeol : is this bc hes my bias and anywhere bbh goes pcy goes? yes. BUT i also love how he can do whatever is needed. he can sing beautifully and is a rapper, there’s no stopping him. and also he’s just a cutie patootie 🤭🩷✨

svt - hoshi : such a wonderful compliment to bbh’s voice. imo they’re honestly quite similar; if you haven’t listened to bbh and hoshi singing love again side by side, please do!!! i was honestly so, so, close to choosing minghao for this bc i think he would’ve been so vocally opposite of bbh it would’ve been nice, but hoshi has this ability to sound so different in songs, but so identifiable at the same time, that i just loved it for this group

solo - lee hi: i think she’d be such a stunning compliment to baekhyun’s and hoshi’s more harsh and powerful vocals and give the smooth, velvety vocal they’d need to make it blend together beautifully

exid - LE : listen… i just love her but i think her rap style would suit chanyeol’s and she definitely has a powerful voice. i think the juxtaposition of her voice and lee hi’s would be so fun to hear in a group setting

literally adding the other “group” i came up with bc i love them too

exo - kyungsoo : smooth, smooth vocals. another performer that can really bend his voice at will! the range is insane and he does it so effortlessly, it’s insane. multi lingual king! pronunciation master!

akmu - suhyun : have u heard her and kyungsoo’s recent duet like… their voices just MELT together. such a fun pop like sound but still having the ability to be soft and angelic?

btob - hyunsik : definitely a hidden gem. beautiful vocal range, i think people tend to forget him since everyone in btob are powerhouses, but he tends to be more on the soft side vocally, but can REALLY belt out some beautiful sound that will really surprise everyone

solo - bibi : hi! hello! miss bibi! versatile queen! she has this ability to add a siren like quality to her voice and along with her rapping i think she’d sound really cool with the rest and also she’s a cutie and we love that

svt - minghao : hehehe i ended up putting him in this one bc it suits him here better.. like bibi, hao has this ability to make his voice sound almost siren like and it’s sooo interesting. if u haven’t listend to falling down pls do that and see what! i! mean!!! that along with just the regular relaxing tone when he sings i think he would really just round the group out and complete them ahhh

[cr0ftisprocrastinating]

Hello, me again being just perfectly normal as per usual.

I just finished listening to your INCREDIBLE playlist for HDG, and it's... did I already say incredible? It is very incredible. Wildly eclectic in all the best possible ways. I was SO PLEASED to see Babylon Zoo and Kula Shaker in particular! (no Tattva though?? how dare you it was the first guitar solo I ever learned) Anyway it brought back many many memories, so please find them all enclosed lol

I'm on holiday and have LOTS of time to kill, so I have constructed a sectioned, annotated list ❤️

The Best Song

Reef - Place your hands

I think this might be the best song ever made in the 90s? It's lived in my head forever. APPARENTLY the lyrics are "place your hands on my hope" but I have been singing "on my hole" for so fucking long and I will not change now. Those are the real lyrics as far as I’m concerned. Anyway it’s so joyful!

Songs that people don't remember until they hear them

Suede - Beautiful Ones - The chorus definitely rings through Hermione’s head whenever a Slytherin walks into the room lmao

Supergrass - Alright - I feel like I heard this song every single day for a decade

Stone Roses - She Bangs the Drums - Their most pop song and holy shit its good

Ocean Colour Scene - Riverboat song - Not only amazing, but also the intro riff was the soundtrack to TFI Friday with that bastard Chris Evans (the other one)

Corner Shop - Brimful of Asha - Oh god this song hahah. Another one that was played so much it just became the general background noise of life

The Seahorses - Love is the law - I dunno if anyone even remembers John Squire had another band after the Stone Roses, but he did and this track was the only song of theirs I ever heard but it was enough that I remember them

Catatonia - Mulder and Scully - Is there anything more 90s than the X-Files?

The Divine Comedy - Something For the Weekend - Inextricably linked with the above in my head for reasons I can't remember. Maybe just because they're both spooky??

The Mavericks - Dance the Night Away - The happiest break up song ever made?

Juggernauts of the era

I mean these need no explanation so I mostly haven't bothered, but Bittersweet Symphony was literally the sound of an entire generation (and the music video? Just walking down a shitty street, disconnected from everyone around him, singing about hopelessness while dressed all in black, barging uncaringly past people??? IT MEEEE lol). Also a reminder that Things Can Only Get Better was the Labour Party song when everyone thought Tony Blair would save us from the conservatives 🙄

Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

Oasis - Cigarettes & Alcohol

Blur - Girls and Boys

Pulp - Common People - 🎵 Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job 🎵

Prince - 1999

DReam - Things Can Only Get Better

Songs I don't think necessarily fit your playlist vibe but I remember fondly anyway

Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees - One of my faves, it’s so fucking depressing lol. “She lives with a broken man, a cracked polystyrene man” 🥹

Ace of Base - All That She Wants - My dad loved Ace of Base for some reason? Which was weird because he mostly just listened to Pavarotti

4 Non Blondes - What's up - Still find myself regularly singing Heeeeeeeeayyy yeaaaah yeaaah yeahhh constantly 

The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode - E’s are good, gettit??? It’s such a blatant, smirking middle-finger to The Establishment that you’ve got to kinda love it, even if it’s fucking irritating to actually listen to hahah

Shaggy - Oh Carolina

Wet Wet Wet - Goodnight Girl - I did NOT listen to Wet Wet Wet. But my mum did, and this song was in heavy rotation, so I still know all the lyrics

And as this is an ask, I've prepared an actual question! Do you listen to music while you're writing? I can't, I get too distracted by the lyrics and I lose the ability to write words!

OK that's it I'm done have fun! <3 xx

Stars…your name is fitting because you are what?? HEAVENLY.

I will be adding all of these to the playlist tomorrow. Even if they don’t ‘fit the vibe’. The vibe of the playlist is - there is no vibe! It’s like what if Hermione and Theo bought every single weird mashup CD to occupy them in their little copy room, and therefore ANY and ALL bangers are welcomed hehe.

Re: writing to music - it depends on my mood! When I am struggling to get words down I definitely think it helps to focus me in the right ‘tone’. For NETG I used that miserable playlist a LOT lmao. Sometimes I get overexcited though and have to ‘dance around my room’ - a thing I have done my entire life and is not dancing at all, rather me hurtling from one end of my room to another, grinning madly as the made up people in my head do things I want them to.

I always try and convince myself I can listen to music while I study. This is always a lie. One day I’ll grow out of it, but not today

{Pocket Mirror}

(Video Game) Gameplay time: Long 7/22/2016

Creator: AstralShift and VisuStella

Publisher:KOMODO

RPG Horror Game,about a young girl stranded,in a realm of strange dreams and illusions along with even stranger characters,reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland ,with no recollection of her name or her purpose.She only has her pocket mirror in hand,only knowing deep in her heart that she must never let it go.

Honestly one of the most beautiful Rpg experiences I've had in terms of aesthetic.Coming from 2016 it reminds me a lot of the Vocaloid projects and songs at the time (Bad End Night as an example)with it's creepy/cute circus like aesthetic.It's honestly something quite nostalgic to me and I think this is why I was drawn to this game,with the Story book-like picture/cutscenes that differ a tiny bit from the classic Anime style the stills of the game show.

The soundtrack is also super memorable and beautifully fits each and every scene,character and chase or QTE sequence.I cannot begin to explain how much the remastered version put the emphasis in the music and it's new opening along with the gorgeous animation for it.It filled me with nostalgia despite never having played the game before.The character music themes are so unique and describe each and every one of them,along with their titles.

It's a game based on pure symbolism, both visually and story wise,although unfortunately it falls a bit short on the latter.I felt although the story isn't that hard to grasp,though complicated,it slightly drags on towards the end,to the point where you get slightly confused with the narrative and some scenes or dialogue that is not really much needed at the final look of the plot.Game play wise,it's a very dark (literally)game with a lot of replay-ability value which the very few save points it has,make it a bit exhausting to do even when it's one of the focal points in understanding the story.Especially with all the different endings.Some of the puzzles in the game are a bit ridiulously hard along with some QTE's that drain you back to back.

[THE REMASTERED]

About two to three months ago,the game got picked up by GoldenerTraum for a remaster,as the devs are working on the games (seemingly) prequel Little Goody Two Shoes.What I absolutely love about the remaster is its updated sound effects that match perfectly with the environment and characters,and how much more vibrant and intense the music overall is.

The pixel art for the game and it's animations have also gone through changes that make it look much more alive and colorful,smooth and succesfully enchances the chosen aesthetic it strives for.Menu,Save Menu and dialogue options have also been revamped beautifully along with now being able to have 20 save files,making the replay value much more worth it.I do however kind of miss the way the game looked before,being so dark it was a little tricky to navigate.

The new art is definetly a whole other style than the first stills and illustrations,except for the Story book like cutscenes mentioned before which I'm really happy about(there's even new art of this kind added in the game regarding a new ending!).Even though for me the new look has slightly lost the charm the old one had,the devs had the wonderful idea to be able to enable the old artwork in the settings for those who yearned for the nostalgia of it.

Plot wise, a new ending was added which further confuses things a little bit as now,a lot of the prestablished lore and symbolism becomes more confusing.I am hopeful however that the prequel will answer those questions thouroughly.

Overall,I think this is a game to dwelve in,if you enjoy the kind of aesthetic it strives for because trust me you will not be dissapointed.As for the plot,I did not feel like it brought anything that new and unheard of at the table,but it's immersive enough to keep you until the end.If you have the time and patience to finish and potentially replay a l o t of it from the begining then I'd suggest that you give it a try.

7.5/10

@llumetrii !!!!!! THIS IS SO, SO, SO CUTE!!!!! I'M SCREAMING FROM THE SPIDER SOCIETY HQ'S ROOFTOP!!!

I'm going to start off by saying that your Spidersona/OC is so CUTE!!! I always love seeing everyone's OC in their "Nonviolent Communication" fanart, like AHHH, everyone's OCs are so PRETTY!! 💕

But okay MIGUEL??! You're killing me in the best way possible!!! LOOK AT HIS SOFT, TENDER FACE -

SCREAMING!! I just ADORE his face!! You truly captured the way I always imagine Miguel looking at reader with such tenderness and caring 😭😭 no, I'm actually tearing up right now!! And then, THE PINKY SQUEEZE - I always say it but I love the size difference, it's SO CUTE and I'm totally normal about it (not)!! And you even included their "Always" !!! I'm so happy to see that you love it, and that you find it genuine and soft!! When I was planning these little detail, I thought it'd be exactly that - a genuine, soft, and sweet little thing between them!! It's so simple and yet, I lowkey always get emotional when they say it, especially with Miguel (I literally stop writing and just take a moment to fangirl about it each time!! You'd think I stop after so many times but no!!) because it's so genuine and vulnerable, so small and yet so meaningful considering Miguel's progress in this fic!

And, omg the song!! I've heard it before but never knew the name of it so it's funny this is how I learn the name (at last), but I AGREE!!! This fits Miguel and Y/N so perfectly with how they always want to say so much more but hold back because they're not ready to say it, or don't want to push each other's boundaries !🥹 Also, the music element in the song (This is just a simple song/That I've made for you on my own) reminds me of how they share music and spend moments together listening to it on their record players!! This is such a perfect song for them and I'm definitely adding it to the playlist of future songs to use!! Side note, I really love how so many readers have shared songs with me that remind them of Miguel and reader, it's so sweet that you guys think of the fic!! 🥺

@llumetrii THANK YOU FOR DRAWING THIS AND SHARING IT WITH ME!!! I love it so so much and as soon as I opened up the notification (which by the way, I'm sorry I'm just now replying!! I got caught up with some things), I SCREAMED at how sweet and cute this drawing is!!! I'm overwhelmed (in a good way) with Miguel's face expression here - it's truly so SWEET and filled with tenderness, and my heart can't take it!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! 🥹❤️

Also, would it be okay if I link your post to my masterlist? Please let me know if that's okay!! Thank you!!!!!!

MORE ART for "Nonviolent Communication" by @greensagephase hehe. You know I HAD to draw this lil scene(using my spidersona/OC lol). Also, the way they say "always" to each other ALWAYS GETS ME. Like it's so soft and genuine. Especially when Miguel says it😭❤️ so I thought I'd add that in.

Oh and I heard this song at work a couple days ago called "Words" by F.R. David and it reminded me of Miguel and Y/N just cause there are things they want to say to each other but they hold back😭

Anyway, LOVE NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION. It's always so exciting to read❤️
