rules: you're going to pick 10 of your biases (or as many biases as you have and then fill in the rest of the spots with idols you like) and number them 1-10. then answer the questions below! try not to look at the questions before you make your list!

my bias list in the most random order 🫶:

1. beomgyu (txt)

2. wooyoung (ateez)

3. lee know (stray kids)

4. yeonjun (txt)

5. d.o (exo)

6. hyunjin (stray kids)

7. jihoon (treasure)

8. haechan (nct)

9. subin (victon)

10. sunwoo (the boyz)

— 1. Between 7 and 5, who did you bias first?

i biased kyungsoo first! he's the longest bias i've ever had so he holds a special place in my heart.

— 2. Between 2 and 6, who are you more attached to?

hmm- who am i more attached to? i find hyunjin like art and can literally go on and on about him forever but wooyoung is a part of my ult group and he's someone i'd find difficult to give up (even if it was for the good of humanity)

— 3. If you were to spend the day with either 3 or 1, who would you choose and what would you do?

ooh that's a hard one! they're the types of people i think i'd blend really well with. honestly i'd love to say lee know, but i think beomgyu and i will just get along really well. i also think we'd just find something to do. maybe try something adventurous or like something where we have the opportunity to laugh a lot and eat good food - camping maybe?

— 4. What is your favorite physical feature about 9?

subin has such gorgeous eyes. honestly though he has such a nice face. sometimes i like at his hair more, sometimes it's his smile but mostly it's his eyes. it's the gaze that gets me, your honour.

— 5. What is your favorite part of 6's personality?

i love that he's a romantic, but not in a kind of otaku way but in a poet way. i love what he finds beauty in and how he expresses it.

— 6. If you were to tell 8 anything you wanted, what would you tell them?

literally, the love of my life but i don't think i'd tell him that but i hope he knows. i think i'd just tell him that being a sunflower makes me the happiest and i'm so grateful to be one of his.

— 7. Between 1 and 2, whose closet would you raid?

hmm, although in my opinion i think they're pretty similar i'd probably have to pinch off beomgyu.

— 8. What is a style that you want to see 3 try?

i'm not too sure, i'm not really a fashion type of person. i think anything kind of expensive- but not necessarily a suit. black and white maybe? idk i'm open to anything because i have staring problems with him.

— 9. Between 5 and 4, who are you closer to in height?

..without even checking the heights with uncle google, i'm much closer to kyungsoo in height than i am yeonjun's.

— 10. Between 10 and 9, whose music do you like the best?

i am more partial to the boyz discography and i think sunwoo is super talented, arguably he's probably the idol i take the most pride in talent wise. but i'd love to see subin's solo works because i do love me some of that boy's vocals.

moni's bias list - in no particular order.

1. hyunjin (stray kids) 2. san (ateez) 3. wooyoung (ateez) san (ateez) 4. doyoung (nct) 5. yeonjun (txt) 6. yuta (nct) 7. seonghwa (ateez) 8. felix (stray kids) 9. yoongi (bts) 10. jake (enhypen)

1. Between 7 and 5, who did you bias first?

Seonghwa 🥺 

2. Between 2 and 6, who are you more attached to?

Ahhh, I love em' both but I have say San. My love. My mountain.

3. If you were to spend the day with either 3 or 1, who would you choose and what would you do?

I think I'd have an absolute blast with Wooyoung, like we've never stop laughing. Wooyoung is very charismatic, and quick-witted so I feel like we'd bond instantly. I'd love to go siteseeing with him aha, I feel like he'd offer the best commentary (tho he'd be like making things up as he goes). We'd just walk around an unknown city struggling to navigate but we'd find the most charming place to cafe where we could rest.

4. What is your favorite physical feature about 9?

His gummy smile. My heart.

5. What is your favorite part of 6's personality?

I love how bold he can be. He's spontaneous and very curious. I also love seeing him being enthusiastic about things.

6. If you were to tell 8 anything you wanted, what would you tell them?

Please don't push youself too hard, and please make sure you're taking care of yourself! 💕

7. Between 1 and 2, whose closet would you raid?

Hyunjin! Boi is so stylish, I cannot.

8. What is a style that you want to see 3 try?

Oreo hair! 🔈 I know he's done it, but I loveeee his hair like that.

9. Between 5 and 4, who are you closer to in height?

Doyoung, but both of them are a lot taller than me lols.

10. Between 10 and 9, whose music do you like the best?

Yoongi! I adore his solo music and always look forward to his new releases.

the plan was to write a fun and light-hearted review but i guess that's not in the cards for me today ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ here's a bunch of feelings instead!

(no lore, literally just a lil rambling. feel free to ignore ofc - i'll probably post some unhinged reviewy thoughts later anyway :)

soooo... since this morning I've been trying to write a fangirling review full of memes for the name chapter: freefall like i've done before for other albums or their previews. you know, to have fun and scream about how good they sound or that line that made me go feral! and i do have something for a couple songs that i'll probably post later, but overall i kept failing because honestly that's not what feels right right now.

apart from back for more and do it like that (that are like an ass shaking break from dehydrating yay), i honestly sobbed my ass out with this album and i'm on the verge of doing it again as i'm writing this and listening to it.

the aspect that affected me the most was the lyrics and the way they delivered them. you can hear and tell how much txt grew musically. their vocals are really really great in every track, their styles more defined, and their overall group color too. they got back to the genres that fits them best (i think) - rock and disco -, experimented new ones - 80's new wave -, and something in between - rnb with dreamer that literally devastated destroyed demolished me btw, in more ways than one. when txt said in interviews and at the comeback showcase too that they keep trying to deliver relatable lyrics about their own struggles and feelings as well as their peers and the young, they weren't joking or overestimating themselves, they really are.

this album feels very personal to me. txt's songs always did, but with this i think we reached a new peak. i connected to it heart and soul.

personally, probably the one thing i love most about txt is how we share being in our twenties at the same time and how, despite different ethnicities, backgrounds, experiences etc, we are connected by our feelings and are able to sympathise with eachother and help eachother out, like, ahh... it just warms my heart. their music feels so close to me and that's honestly what any musician needs for them to become my favourite. once i connect on a deep level with their music that's literally all it takes.

I haven't opened up about this on tumblr before, but i've been pretty depressed this year. that's also part of the reason why i haven't been that active, together with being busy with uni stuff. i did had good days, i've been hanging in there, trying to focus on the good things in my life, but overall it's been hard, and i'm trying my best to get better soon because it's been tiring. i get so angry at myself because i have so many things in my life to be happy and grateful for, but i still get anxious and i'm still unsatisfied. i've been so frustrated about where i am in life, all the things i expected to be different by now, that i want to change but still can't, i've grown beyond impatient.

so, today, this album felt like the kind of understanding hug i've been looking for this year. growing pains is probably going to become what can't you see me was for me during the pandemic - an outlet to vent my anger and frustrations. chasing that feeling is going to be what take me home by ateez also is for me - my reminder to keep chasing what feels like home despite the hardships. dreamer is literally me condensed into a song (!?). deep down is there to remind me that even if my peculiarities can feel like a burden they're part of my identity and they shouldn't feel like it. happily ever after says it's okay even if things didn't go as i planned them, to embrace my failures and keep going even if life it's not a fairytale and it's unpredictable. i'll find my way. skipping stones feels like reading one of my journal entries where i write to my past and future self. and blue spring, a promise, has been here for me everyday since i heard it at the concert. with this album i didn't feel alone anymore, i felt that company and reassurance in a way i struggled to find until now, and i'm deeply grateful to txt for that 🤍
