& 2023

“Max,” Daniel calls to him from the bedroom, just as he is rinsing the shampoo from his hair. Not wanting shampoo in his eyes or his mouth, Max keeps them all firmly shut.

“Baby?” Daniel says again, louder.

The warm water is a gentle relief running over his sweat sticky skin, nowhere near the scalding temperatures Daniel sets their shower to at home. It’s why Max had insisted that they clean off separately, the Austin heat far too much for Max to endure boiling water too, despite Daniel’s pouting and dramatic insistence that Max couldn’t just ‘fuck and flee.”

“Yes,” he calls when all the suds are safely sliding past his shoulders, but he didn’t need to shout. When he opens his eyes he sees Daniel leaning against the doorway with a smirk, still wearing his unbuttoned satin shirt, cowboy hat and nothing else. His wedding ring sits heavy on his finger, and Max thumbs over the matching one on his own hand.

Max’s come is a shiny presence he can still see smeared between Daniel’s thighs.

The sight of him makes Max’s dick twitch. Daniel notices and his grin only widens.

“Baby,” he says again, too sweet. “Baby, why is your most recent Google search is it weird that my husband saying yeehaw makes me come?”

And just like that, Max suddenly longs for a hot shower, an excuse for why his cheeks start to burn red.

“Why are you snooping through my phone?” He demands, forcing himself not to turn away casually and instead keep rubbing the hotel’s own body wash under his armpits.

“I wasn’t snooping,” Daniel says easily, “I was looking to get us some ribs delivered, my phone died at the track, remember?”

Max makes a noncommittal noise because vaguely he does remember Daniel saying he needed to put it on charge. That was before Max started pawing at him the moment the hotel door shut behind them though, and then it had been forgotten by both of them.

There’s just the noise of the extractor fan whirring for a moment, but Daniel doesn’t move. When Max sneaks a glance at him, he’s still leaning against the door frame looking amused.

“Sooo.” He drawls out the word in the stupid Texas accent that Max wishes he didn’t find so strangely sexy. “Are we going to talk about this, little lady, or-“

“Nope,” Max says firmly, turning off the shower.

Daniel nods. It makes the lights of the bathroom catch on his chain and Max- Max really wants to fuck him again.

“What about the one below it?” He asks, “Daniel Ricciardo Austin 2023 photos?”

“Nope,” Max says again, stepping out of the shower and reaching for his towel. He’s smiling now too, because he knows that beneath Daniel’s teasing that one will have made him happy to see.

“Okay,” Daniel says, then he unlocks Max’s phone. “What about how to ask my husband to-“

“Daniel,” Max interrupts, taking the phone from his hand and putting it into the empty sink. “Do you want to read more of my internet history, or do you want to get back on the bed and play good cowboy, bad cowboy again?”

Daniel grins, takes the cowboy hat from his head and puts it onto Max’s. When his arms wind around Max, the silky fabric of his shirt presses cool against Max’s shower-warm skin, his nipples.

“Well, when you put it like that,” Daniel says, leaning in to put his mouth on the skin just beneath Max’s ear. “Yeehaw, baby.”

Max laughs and pinches Daniel’s ass, at the same time as his dick twitches again. Backing him out of the bathroom, towards the bed, his phone is forgotten in the bathroom.

Google never had all the answers when it came to them, anyway.

*** This is the 3rd part of Digimon Xros Wars saga with Tagiru, Yuu and Taiki as the protagonists. This 3rd part has the overly long title so we fans prefer to call it 'Digimon Xros Wars: Hunters' or 'Digimon Young Hunters'.

**** Yes, this movie has an overly long title. I had a hard time deciding whether to highlight it in bold or not.

Happy Digimon Day!

💅 pinkprlncesses Follow

🧟‍♀️ samuraishattered Follow op this is an incredibly fucked up and insensitive way to post about this. six people are dead. four of them are literal children. imagine losing a loved one and people are fucking memeing about it with supernatural. grow up. learn some fucking respect for the dead. this isn't just some quirky little fandom story like sharpie bath or whatever. these are real kids who had hopes and dreams and families and loved ones and now they are dead.

💅 pinkprlncesses Follow was it ever really that deep

🦴 trudycryme Follow New video about June July and Dysnomia Badmann's murders on the way! Special surprise at the end so stay tuned ;) Sponsored by Tender Lender <3

🦴 trudycryme Follow No fucking way

🩰 blood-and-books Follow wait, has anyone noticed that the accomplice in the bluecorp case and that 13 year old who killed her gfs parents and 2 random boys are half-sisters??

🍭 mera-duras-left-eyebrow Follow WAIT AND THEIR OLDEST SISTER HAD LINKS W/ BLUECORP TOO WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN

🪷 helloroses Follow does anyone remember how fucked up april may's career was. i rewatched pint-sized princesses after the news got out about her execution and like i know it was the 90s but what the fuck was going on there. it feels like a crime to watch it

🪷 helloroses Follow it's the same with her modelling career, why was she, a teenage girl, doing so many photoshoots where she was barely clothed. why did ad campaigns need all this

🦢 evilwomanenjoyer Follow why are we defending june july in 2018. she killed people. she murdered people. you are the same people who defend joe darke and dahlia hawthorne and matt engarde and fucking redd white. she took lives. where am i.

🐜 what-is-a-username420 Follow please learn about nuance and use your brain

🦢 evilwomanenjoyer Follow nuance is for fictional characters like pious priestess or whoever the fuck. not for real life situations like this.

🐜 what-is-a-username420 Follow sometimes im like "the reading comprehension on this site isnt THAT bad" and then i read shit like "nuance is for fiction not for real life"

🦴 trudycryme Follow I am truly, truly sorry for attempting to film those teenagers corpses and for breaking into the victims childhood home in an attempt to interview his family 2 days after the murder, I understand why I was wrong and I'm going to try my best to refrain from doing stuff like that next time lol. To further this, I'm starting a new merch collection and donating 20% of profits to JAVCV (Japanifornian Association for Victims of Violent Crime), buy it before the sale ends on March 4th!

🧟‍♀️ samuraishattered Follow not to be harsh but i hope you die

🌈 godsstrongestfujo Follow i think april may was a genuinely a bad person like she was just this rich woman who both did the modelling campaign + assisted in the murder to get money from her sugar daddy. shes not as innocent as yall make her out to be she just has pretty privelege

🍁 diskhorse-divorce Follow 1. she was not rich. she, her single mother, and sister were homeless for years. she had to be a child star and teen model to provide for herself and her family. they lived in a trailer at some point 2. she was very obviously being threatened by white. the courts said it was a lie because of fucking misogyny and white's power over her. 3. even if she did do it out of her own free will she still got executed over a crime where the death penalty at age 23 was not justified. 4. why are you calling a thirteen year old a bad person for doing an ad campaign where she was being heavily sexualised and exploited and stolen from you fucking weirdo

🩰 angelfawns Follow april may was such a tragic girl and an icon and so beautiful omg. she looked SO good during the summer 2008 ad campaign for bluecorp too. hold on i need to change my pfp

🐦‍⬛ proud-edgelord Follow if my parents named me teylhoure i wouldve killed myself too

Love Songs and Shit (Extended Masterpost)

Pairing: Jake Kiszka x YN

Genre: Angst, Hurt, Fluff, Smut (honestly it varies depending on the chapter)

Wordcount: if only I knew...

Plot: YN is a popular American singer-songwriter who, on a rainy evening in 2018, crossed path with the members of Greta Van Fleet. It didn't take long for the usually detached and fiercely independent girl to experience an unfamiliar itch. As she put pen to paper, it seemed a certain long-haired guitarist had her thinking about writing love songs and shit.

Concept: Each Album is a period of YN's journey, each track is a song she wrote after a specific chapter, so basically her discography is a chronological story of her life (with Jake, mostly). I'm currently not posting chapters in chronological order, but everything is organized in chronological order on this Masterpost.

Disclaimer: All the album covers are paintings by Norwegian painter Henrik Aarrestad Uldalen I edited. So, credit to that guy.

Also some chapters may involve triggering themes, I'll add the specific trigger warnings at the beginning of each chapter. Stay safe, besties.

YIZHAN’S 06.29 HK Event ( A Summary ) ✨

As the title says, this will be a timeline of sorts around the show. It’s always a treat to see them in one place so the next step is really to archive the story behind it. A mix of events, cpns & fandom reflections.

The last part of this is more on my words on why ( i think ) they didn’t interact or even see each other at the event, if you’re interested in that, you can scroll down and skip the others.

This is gonna be a long post, Enjoy! ^^

What is the event all about?

The name of the show is The Greater Bay Area Film Concert 2023 and the venue is in Hongkong. It is described as :

More than a hundred filmmakers, musicians, cultural and sports technology representatives from both sides of the Taiwan Strait as well as Hong Kong and Macao will gather on the banks of the Xiangjiang River to work together Write a new picture of Chinese-style modernization belonging to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

It is also a big event because it is broadcasted in multiple platforms:

CCTV 6 Movie Channel, Phoenix Satellite TV Chinese Channel, Phoenix Satellite TV Hong Kong Channel, Guangdong Satellite TV, Shenzhen Satellite TV, Radio Television Hong Kong, and Macao Radio and Television , Australia and Asia Satellite TV and other TV platforms live broadcast, China Central People's Broadcasting Corporation, Hong Kong TVB recorded and broadcast, movie channel Rong Media, 1905 Movie Network, Phoenix.com, Phoenix Show and other major media platforms of the whole network broadcast simultaneously.

I personally haven’t experienced an event they both attended — or actually even as individuals as endorsed as this. It is considered a “government” event and it would make sense that they will be present. Even if they are still considered “traffic” stars, this time, it works in their favor because they need the audience that these two will bring.

It is labeled as a “concert” but it’s truly a “party” for the 26th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to China. The actual date is 7/1, but this is a primer to that, and why it’s taking place in HK. This is a touchy subject so I won’t go into detail and i feel like a good number of us are happy to see them perform but at the same time knowing what this party is about makes us feel off. It’s always been a popular theory among turtles that our best bet for a same event and interaction is for a government approved celebration. This way, their fans will ( hopefully ) be in their best behavior.

The same sentiment was actually passed on to turtles the day before the event. Reminding that it’s not like the other shows where you can say whatever.

Before the 629 Party:

By the last week of June, there were already some buzz surrounding the show and who will be attending. The most talked about being XZ & WYB. Melons were already releasing news about it but there were still talk about them not being in the same place.

It could be the same show but they will be in completely different places. It got cpfs excited, knowing how rough the past days were with all the YBO business, this is exactly what a lot of fans needed. some really positive news. Though there were some minor signs that all is well, a loud sign like this was so much better.

6.26, fans were talking about a potential double airport which turned out to not be true. However, this added fuel to the fire that they will both attend.

6.27 for cpfs was of course all about celebrating CQL’s 4th anniversary and well it was truly a special day. The weekend before, cpfs were already sharing face-to-face events and online materials on the actual day was a lot. It is the answer to the question of whether the cp fandom was already broken. The answer is a very loud No. Same day, Yubin also shared a video that showed a split second glimpse of them back in 2018 and eating hotpot. At this point, it was only a matter of time for them to be in the same event.

6.28, around 8:30 AM there were videos and then photos of XZ leaving and flying to HK. This lined up with melons that he will leave on this day. Even if there are no official announcements yet, it was the answer we were looking for. He was looking so good and his hair was tied up — which of course made us think of all the times they both had this style. the best. and also how they look so similar. twins!!!!

and well, how it is sort of similar to how lei yu’s hair was tied too in BTF.

There is a speculation that he was really supposed to fly 629 but that information was leaked so they decided against it. Or they booked multiple flights. The reason is @ the airport, there was a video of ZZ looking through his bag when he was about to go to the gate and it seemed like he forgot important things. So his staff had to leave and get it. It leads us to believe that he may not be prepared to go on that flight in particular.

They were also on HS as attending. This goes to show how no one is over BJYX. lol. It still brings the heat, because of who they are as individuals and moreso as a pair. There are so many guests, a lot of them really well-know names to the general public but the entertainment blogs know who to talk about.

10:00 & 10:15 AM Movie Channel weibo account announced the attendees and two very familiar faces are on it. The news we have all been waiting to hear has been confirmed.

It’s cute that the photos they used were from the recent Weibo Night. GG’s is what he used for the event poster.

11:25 AM Yibo-official shared that WYB is attending.

Next up, the program list was revealed and ZZ & WYB are confirmed to be performing. WYB = Wuming OST and ZZ will sing Run Without Care.

An event like this takes careful planning and while i do believe that them attending is not about “pleasing cpfs” — it doesn’t take away the fact that it feels like a gift to us. the drama from the past days. cql 4th anniversary. The universe is on our side on this one.

2:00 PM - ZZ landed in Hongkong. 🛬

3:00 PM - XZS posts about ZZ attending

In the evening, Movie Channel weibo account had a pre-show livestream related to the event and ZZ & WYB were talked about and evaluated.

6.29, at approximately 8:00 AM, Bobo is seen at the airport and is on his way to Shenzhen then to HK. Wearing a really cute Pokemon shirt!!!! People are saying he took this route cause he doesn’t want to be photographed by the public.

The HS bringing them together is also trending so early, #7 on general HS and #11 on entertainment. Everyone is so excited! HK based media accounts on weibo are also joining in and posting about the event with the boys as the main photo.

( these screenshots taken at the time of posting, however hours later, they were edited to include other acts in p2 especially. )

Some videos about them were also circling around, i don’t really think these are necessary cause it’s different when a cpf makes them and meant for the fandom audience compared to the “media”putting their own spin to it. Stuff like these are definitely a hit or miss and may be antis in disguise.

Around 12nn, WYB is in Shenzhen and on the way to HK. His itinerary really caused the confusion before. cause people really thought there was another event in SZ cause why would he go that route.

BJYX was also on HS before the event. In the regular one, that high up, not even entertainment.

6PM , WYB is seen attending the rehearsal for the show. There were also talks of how far they might be seated from each other.

The program started 30 minutes earlier than the broadcast of 8:00 PM. That’s why the fancams were released way earlier. Yibo left right after his performance and didn’t spend that much time with the other guests/audience.

XZ was seen around 9PM, he spent time in the audience then performed as well. He also left right after.

Both of them were all over HS. moreso GG.

CPN clues here and there

1. The joint event is on a Thursday, and as we all know, Thursday is a good day to see you.

2. The song chosen for XZ was part of a record released back in 10-28-1991. It’s the same birth month & year as him, but the date is such a good coincidence. 28. Ai Bo ( Love Bo ) 🫶🏼

3. Emphasis on Yibo’s moles in one of the YBO photos. Bobo is known for other things physically but not really his moles, so it’s interesting how it was highlighted. A mole is really more of XZ’s thing so i can’t help but feel like there is something there 👀 ; a connection being made.

4. I know some people were bummed that ZZ was not in the audience, or hasn’t even showed up at the tables when Bobo performed. Well, he missed alot too. It’s not like it was only Yibo’s.

Same thing with WYB leaving the event right after his performance. We know this is his usual MO but we had hopes anyway.

I know it’s heartbreaking but we have to focus on the positive that they are in the same event ! ✨we will get there, we just have to be patient and remember that their safety is the most important.

5. ZZ’s table mates are Yoshi ( WYB’s BTF co star and friend ) as well as Huang Bo ( WYB’s One and Only co star ). What a coincidence. 🫢🫢

6. This photo from XZS. 📸 what a great shot considering WYB performed Wuming.

7. Here we go again with their usual strategy of not posting at the same time when they are at an event. You can say that this was somehow coordinated by the people from the show. We noticed WYB was scheduled at the start to get traffic early, and then ZZ close to the last to get people to stay till the final hours.

However, XZS really posted and showed XZ after WYB’s performance of Wuming was broadcasted. The screenshot i’m posting shows Movie Channel posted at :52, but that’s a bit late cause minutes before that other accounts have already shared. Even me. I was uploading the Wuming performance here on tumblr when XZS popped up on my Weibo notification.

Interpret it how you want, but the two are not here to “compete”.

A fan was able to see them shooting these materials 628, so they could have posted it anytime before the actual broadcast but didn’t.

8. Let’s go back to ZZ’s photos lol. It’s 18 photos uploaded but the actual number of shots is 33. What a good combination! Also his posting time is 20:50, or that can also be 8:50. 8/5. Yibo’s birthday 😭

9. The Movie Channel weibo accounted posted a video cut of their performance. Just them. And put a caption like “ it’s like the same stage” cause they did perform on the same stage, just at different times 😂 but then it was later edited out / deleted. Lol. Here is the video someone saved of the cut.

10. The IP address in ZZ’s video post is in Guangdong. Again, i’m not sure how these IPs work or if a staff is posting for him but the thing is this place is close to Shenzhen. WYB is rumored to be going from HK to Shenzhen again so who knows. It’s all CPN anyway ☺️

11. ZZ’s pants, it has a heart that is outlined with a color green.

There are probably more out there, but these are the interesting ones i’m including as of now. If some “big” ones show itself then i will just make a separate post on it. I find that the sweetest candies from events happen weeks or months later. When we get more “clues.” In the meantime i hope enjoyed these ones.

========================

Personal thoughts on “not interacting” and the reality of being a BXG.

I’m using this post/photos from one of my favorite BJYX fansite to start and give a general theme of what my stand is with this whole thing. “no need to prove it.”

I think most of us dare hoped, but the reality is, when it comes to same events with them, we should always manage our expectations. do not expect anything. There are some who are frustrated because of what they think ZZ/WYB should do or act around each other — as if we really have a say on that. As someone who has been on here for quite some time, it is a fact that being a BXG is hard. You don’t have to believe in BJYXSZD, but if you’re here to see cute interactions like how “CPs” do then this is not the fandom for you. It takes a whole lot of understanding of their status as celebrities and the toxicity between their solo fans as well as C-ent in general. Then add the whole 2*7 incident. Some may say it’s so easy to just interact and shut people up. No it’s not. Xiao Zhan is not just Xiao Zhan ; Wang Yibo is not just Wang Yibo. The reality is, at events like this, they are products. Both of them have millions or billions riding on them. So there you go. It’s not as easy as everyone thinks. I understand if people feel bummed — it’s okay to leave the CPF side of the fandom if that will be better for you. There is no shame in letting go if it only upsets you because fandom should make you happy. As I said, it takes a certain kind of person to stay and continue believing in them.

As CPFs, we should be kinder to them both. more understanding. not too demanding. We are the ones who are supposed to be on their side and know why they do certain things. It is tiring to be this selfless but it is what it is.

Now on to the more serious reason…

As I’ve mentioned above, this event is really not the “party” for entertainment everyone is making it out to be. It’s not an NYE program. It’s to celebrate the anniversary of HK’s return to China and you all know how that paints this as political. The same goes for celebrities who attended this event.

Both of them were already on HS leading up to it. HK media are focusing on them. Even during the event, the HS about them was so high up.

This is why I think they decided to not give any chance for the public to see them in the same space. If ZZ was there, the camera will surely pan to him when WYB was performing. If not, there will be fancams and people will scrutinize every micro expressions. Their solo fans will be at war. and well basically, the event will be about them. It’s not the greater bay area film concert anymore. It’s the BOJUNYIXIAO REUNION SHOW. Which is something they don’t want. The “celebration” shouldn’t be about them at all. Tho the media used them to hype it up. At the end of the day, they don’t want and need that kind of attention. It’s okay when it’s about their performance but not anything else.

They want to be known as individuals and not as a “pairing” even tho a lot of people and not just cpfs are interested in what will happen if they go on the same stage and interact 😂😂😂😂 These two really act like a real celebrity couple in c-ent who don’t interact in events!

Right now, I’m really happy to see them onstage and get all the content. I’m comforted that they are in the same city and were basically MIA days before they popped up at the airport to leave so hopefully they get to spend more time together!

To my fellow bxgs who believe, stay strong! ♥️💛💚.

Here's my 2023 Art Year in Review!

Oof. Yeah, not a great year for output. As you can tell by my having to put in some photos I took for May and October, since I didn't have any drawn art for those months. What I used for January and Sept. is definitely fudging things (in a "hmm close enough" way.)

So, here's the damage: 15 pieces total (all but one full background and color); 54 individuals.

BUT.

I'm not going to be super hard on myself, because this year is when I organized a big fan project that I'd been wanting to see get done for years and years -- the "Trouble" multi-artist lyric comic. (Art here, video version here by the amazing @stariousfalls.) As I've said before, absolutely awesome seeing 72 people step up wanting to do a big GF fan project in 2024! I was truly blown away by what a spectacular job everyone did.

And while I'm noting some of the stuff I can feel good about, I was happy to finish the Stan Twins meet the Jersey Devil comic that I'd also been meaning to finish for years.

So, not a great year personally, but some things to feel satisfied about.

Saying it here: my new year's resolution is just to DRAW SOMETHING in every month. Even just one thing!

[beautifulpersonpeach]

A Rant.

A lot of you have sent me asks about how JK's solo promotions isn't the same as Jimin's and other BTS members, about JK's rumoured all-English album, about BTS doing payola (you can read my views 4th paragraph from the bottom), about how HYBE has apparently destroyed the BTS OT7 agenda...

I don't want to answer y'all for two reasons:

Perhaps some of you are newer followers, but I can only repeat myself so many times. Don't you get bored of hearing me say the same thing over and over again? /gen

I don't share the apprehension, worry, or appetite for speculation and theorizing that I'm seeing from many people on Tumblr and Twitter.

It's very possible I'm the one in La La Land and you all have good reason to be concerned. But the way I see it, a lot of hysteria is being driven by two things: (1) a very myopic pov, as though the time between June 2022 and December 2025 is the most defining period of BTS's solo careers, as though this is the best and only time for any member to make a move, leave their mark, and thrive. And that BTS/BigHit is working on the same timeline.

(2) All these conversations are being driven by people who have brought that toxic hyper-competitive feature of k-pop, inwards, into the group, and now see the members as direct competition in the narrowest and most reductive sense possible.

And I just don't relate.

I don't feel sad for Hobi on how his solo roll-out was 'sabotaged' relative to Jimin's, I don't feel angry for Joon on how his roll-out compared to JK's, I don't feel confused at JK possibly having a full English album, if anything I'm even more excited by how he's pushing himself and I think it suits him given his pronunciation is one of the best in BTS. I know he'll be more involved than with Seven given how long he's been working on his album, I just hope he doesn't sacrifice depth in his artistic and lyrical expression for a shallow, wider reach.

In my very honest opinion.

When BTS talk about wanting to be together for a really really long time, I wonder if people have sat down to really think about what that looks like. Because maybe it's just me, but I don't think it makes sense for a company/group that has operated like BigHit/BTS, to shove their grandest plans for seven individuals into a ~3 year window. Right now, it's JK getting the push, he's been very vocal and consistent about his solo ambitions for the last 4 years, and I'm glad he's getting this shot.

Also,

While I feel BigHit has become bloated and inefficient, the boys are still capable handling their affairs and I feel very comfortable not having all the answers for a business and career that isn't mine.

I have my opinions about how things could be done differently, and I think if people want to voice their dissatisfaction to the company that's obviously fine, but I don't feel sadness, anger, or pity for any of the guys in BTS in Chapter 2. Not for my biases, not for Jungkook, and certainly not for Jimin. And it's getting tedious repeating my unpopular sanctimonious opinions to people who have already made up their minds and really ought to be more honest with themselves.

Speaking of Jimin, it continues to amuse me how the top group of people who just do nawt rate this man, is his solos. It's like dejavu for the discourse around OSTs circa 2018 - 2021 all over again. PJMs complaining about how BigHit was holding him back from doing OSTs, just for Jimin to say he wasn't interested at the time. Or how in 2022 people were fretting in my inbox about how only Jimin hadn't done any solo work/promotions yet and I would put out gentle reminders about how he operates and his tendency to leapfrog the rest when he's ready, then we started getting the producer pics.

Jimin has always been a 'bigger picture' kind of guy so how can anyone blame me for not taking this latest outcry seriously when that man continues to do what he's always done: work in silence, and wow with the result.

(Does anyone really think a man with no plans would be airborne every 2 weeks, and that a company with no desire to market him would be paying for and managing those plans?)

Not to be dismissive of people who wanted a stronger American push for Jimin's debut, while I agree he would've benefitted from a more targeted push, I genuinely think Jimin has always been better suited for Europe anyway.

I mean, look at him.

*

Anon from yesterday said they envisioned Jungkook doing a song/video like Troye Sivan's Rush... I didn't comment on it yesterday, but Anon, personally, I've never seen Jungkook as capable of making a song like that. Jungkook will never make anything like that. The only person in BTS who has the range for that sort of provocation and subtext, is Jimin. And the market that will fully embrace that sort of art isn't America, it's Europe. In my opinion.

We'll see what his plans are.

Anyway, I'm not sure how more tactfully I can say this, but my blog isn't the place to be if you feel some type of way about seeing Jungkook succeed like this relative to your bias, if you think his promotion and success is at the expense of your bias, and so on. It's not even that I care about some vague OT7 ideal, it's that while I understand the anger and heightened emotions a lot of you feel, I just cannot relate to it. And it won't be enjoyable for either of us if you come to me with asks about it because we think very differently about the group and our relation to BTS.

You can mark this post to revisit in 6 months so we can compare notes.

Here we are.  Back again.  Don’t worry,  I’m not going to stay here and rehash everything I already said in the last intro.  This second  (and final) part is centred around the groups that make up the lineup of CHERRYADE,  for the most part.  It’s safe to say that if they didn’t implode from the inside and get scrapped because of it,  or simply just fall into the depths of nugudom due to overwhelming disinterest and were quietly disbanded,  we wouldn’t be getting this too-sweet-on-the-tongue group coming next month.  So I guess this is a raise-your-glasses moment  (or a dancing-on-the-grave one,  if you weren’t too keen on any of these boys).

PART iv. algorhythm.

The idea of ALGORYHTHM was only really thrown around on a whim more than anything, at first. A general concept was thought up, thoughtless demos made, but there was no real drive to actually make it happen. Until, of course, they saw the seven trainees that would come to form the final lineup slowly rise in the ranks, and started to make more concrete moves to bring the vision into practice. Everything seemed to be going better and better over the months and months they were active, despite the minor cracks that were starting to appear—in the forms of the leader and the maknae taking more and more shots at one another, until eventually the maknae upped and left. Which, in the end, even with how they tried to dress it up with various other made-up issues, was pretty obviously what caused their end.

METRONOME Media’s first (and only) project, ALGORHYTHM was a seven-made-six-piece fictional South Korean boy group. With a lineup featuring members Daehoon, Seon, DJ, Haeil, Caiden, Youngmin, and finally Levi, the group boasted a concept that told a tale of exploring the wonders of music in a dystopian-like world, one where everything was too clean and too sterile to be natural. They ran from the law and found more and more melodies as they went, making new and like-minded friends on the way. It was something that drew crowds in from the get go, and brought them a largely successful June 2016 debut in the form of the mini album ‘REPEAT.’ Things were already looking bright, their future seeming promising and good reception for all releases to come feeling guaranteed. 

The only problem they faced was mainly between the leader and the maknae. They didn’t get along too well, which didn’t really seem like too much of a problem at first—they never really vocalised their dislike for one another during the first couple of comebacks, the only issue really being the growing tension between the pair. But just after the release of their first full album in February 2017—named ‘OUT / ABOUT’—was when the arguments began. At first it was just petty fights over minor grievances; one of them missed a step in the choreo, the other pronounced a word wrong, so on and so forth. But slowly it started to get a little more personal, began to dig at things neither particularly wanted to bring up. It was an open secret among the seven that there was a trainee Daehoon would have much preferred to be in Levi’s place—a boy by the name of Taewon, who had since upped, left, and cut off all contact with the leader after not being chosen for the debut lineup (a somewhat cruel thing to do, seeing as it was also common knowledge Daehoon only signed up to METRONOME because Taewon did first)—and the fact he didn’t really want Levi in the group to begin with was something that Daehoon slowly started to bring up again and again, finding a way to slip it into every squabble they shared somehow.

The fights were practically a daily occurrence by the time their second mini album rolled around in November 2018 (named ‘RHEMIX’), but this era was the first time the public would be in the know about it. Sudden rumours began to arise after a performance of the title track ‘Toxic’ on Inkigayo, of a fight between the two turning physical for the first time. An anonymous Twitter user backed up their egregious claims by leaking a five-second (albeit very grainy and low quality, the audio even worse) video of this alleged fight, and METRONOME went on the defensive immediately—refuting the claims by saying that the group had left straight after their performance in order to attend another schedule, and then vaguely threatening to take legal action should any more accusations arise. The thing was, though.. The claims were true. The video itself wasn’t exactly what had happened, but the pair did follow through on the various physical threats they’d made to one another over the years, and were escorted out as soon as it had happened. METRONOME had lied on their name purely because they were still basking in the constant success ALGORHYTHM continued to give them, too high on the feeling to let it all fall apart just yet.

It only went even further downhill after that. Their public reputation was (mostly) unscathed from the incident, but relations inside the group were anything but. By that point it was almost a waiting game, to see who’d break first. It was fight after threat to one leaving the dorm to find somewhere else to sleep for the evening to the other stumbling into practice late and still drunk from wherever he’d been the night before—or, to put it plainly, it was all a mess. One that felt like it was never going to end, at that. The remaining members were doing more mediating than singing, more covering their ears or rolling their eyes than dancing. There was practically no extra content released between the eras because staff were worried it’d devolve into yet another Daehoon-Levi fight. And although a few were suspicious, most were blissfully unaware of how ALGORYHTHM were practically falling apart from the inside out.

Until, of course, one of them broke first—and it was Levi. A complete surprise to most of the general public, but something that was a long time coming to everyone else. The announcement was made in March 2019, but he wouldn’t stay inactive for long, going on to join the group SLOW MOTION only a month later in April. And while Daehoon was happy he was gone, the company (and at least half of the remaining members, as while they tried not to take sides, after so many months of enduring it all it was hard not to) didn’t share the sentiment as much. ‘ROUND / AROUND’ was their first release as a six piece and would turn out to be their last as a group, underperforming and pretty much spelling out the end for them when it became crystal clear that, without the maknae, they didn’t really have enough as a leg to stand on as they were. August 2019 came the announcement, and after that ALGORYHTHM was no more. A quite tumultuous ride from start to finish.

Daehoon was the leader, no doubt about it. He commanded attention every time he stepped into a room, took nothing but best, and pushed the limits as much as he could get away with. It was very much tough love during his time as the head of ALGORHYTHM, but that was just what the industry had spat him out as—a cold, no-nonsense leader born to.. Well, lead. He used to be softer, kinder, more compassionate, but that side of him walked out alongside the boy he’d given up all of his hopes for a normal life for in the first place. The same boy that’d go on to drop out and leave Daehoon alone to train, and train, and finally to debut (even if it all turned out futile). He’s been quiet since disbandment, only making an Instagram and posting dance covers every once in a while.

Mostly forgotten about by the masses in the present, Seon was one that blended easily into the background, acting as a quiet pillar of support for his members when they needed it. But on the rare occasion when he came out of his shell and was given a chance to shine he worked well as a moodmaker, always having a joke to tell or an anecdote from his past to share. His love and friendship came easy, and he was never not reliable. He was mostly passive, easy-going, calm, and it would’ve taken something truly awful for his temper to be triggered. He’s a figure that his particularly devoted fans miss dearly, seeing as after the disbandment notice he sort of.. Faded into thin air. He hasn’t been heard from since.

All DJ wanted to do in ALGORHYTHM was make good music, and get rid of the stage name that had been chosen for him—he hated it with a passion. It felt so.. On the nose. And a bit more than mocking. Oh, your dad owns a club? And you worked in it? We have just the name for you! He hated it, and refused to let anyone refer to him as such when they weren’t on a public schedule. He kept his head down and his nose out of all the infighting that was brewing between the other boys, and made demo after demo after demo, hoping even just one of them would get chosen for the upcoming comebacks. He rarely got any chances to speak up or have many moments to himself in any group content, but he didn’t really mind—although his fans were of the opposite opinion, and are now hoping to see far more of him during his time in CHERRYADE.

It felt like all Haeil did in ALGORHYTHM was put his head in his hands after Daehoon went off on one again, sing the only two lines he was usually given on stage, occasionally rap three-second-long verses he wanted to pen himself but wasn’t given the chance to, and have even less of a presence online than Seon (which in itself was a massive achievement, seeing as the oldest of the group only posted once in a blue moon, and that was if he even remembered any of the passwords to their social media accounts). At times he looked like one of Daehoon’s only allies within the group, even if really he was just trying to make him realise that the latest reason he snapped at someone or other (or rather, snapped at Levi) was just a little uncalled for. He wasn’t the most popular, but he wasn’t practically unknown, either—sitting at a sort of middle ground during the group’s runtime that a lot hope to see increased while he’s in CHERRYADE.

Never not having a thing to say, and always filled to the brim (and often overflowing) with energy, Caiden (birth name Yeontae) had a knack for ending up at the centre of attention, the person who could never fail to make a whole crowd laugh. His creative mind was one that was often utilised, and he always put his all into anything he contributed. He just wanted them to do the best they could, despite all the fights that were getting more frequent, and the rumours that were starting to grow in number. His bond with Youngmin was one that was a massive fan-favourite, fans coming to refer to the duo as ‘the twins’ due to their closeness, and after ALGORYHTHM’s disbandment they went on to leave METRONOME and work independently as the duo DOUBLE-Y (Caiden since having ditched the stage name), releasing a few self-made tracks and making general content together.

A little quieter (but no less enthusiastic) than his counterpart Yeontae, Youngmin was similarly one that enjoyed his time in the group to the fullest, jumping at every chance he got to contribute to anything related to their music, to extra content, to merch and album concepts, and the like. Anything they were allowed a say in, he was one of the first to jump in. He didn’t ignore the increasing amount of fights as much as Yeontae, though, and attempted to play mediator a few times (although, admittedly, he was more on Levi’s side than he was Daehoon’s—and was devastated when came the time that he left the group, although the then-maknae promised he’d keep in contact; a promise that he stuck to), always stepping in before it escalated too much. Now that the group is no more, he made sure to stick with Yeontae and, as mentioned, the pair now operate as a duo, making music and stupid videos purely consisting of them having fun to their heart’s content.

PART v. slow motion.

Really only formed with the best of intentions in mind, a fun concept ready to explore throughout the eras they were anticipated to have, SLOW MOTION was—in theory—what anyone would want in a group. They all got along relatively well, despite a few fights back in their training days, and all had the shared drive to do well, to go far and attempt to make some sort of impact with their music. However, in practice, once they’d finally been released to the public as a final group, it seemed not everyone liked them as much as their company had originally thought. Interest dwindled, even after the addition of Levi to their lineup, and in the end it was all pretty much for nothing. Just another failed attempt.

Put together by FNC Entertainment, SLOW MOTION were a four-turned-five-piece fictional South Korean boy group. Debuting in November 2018 with the mini album ‘STUCK IN FUTURE,’ they—that being members Doyeon, Hoyoung, Seongjin, and Daejun—were met with.. Moderate attention, but didn’t seem as if they would be topping any charts or grabbing any headlines anytime soon. Nevertheless, they carried on as a four-piece, enjoying their time together as a group both in and out of the public eye. Despite the minor scuffles and adversities they faced before debuting, they all liked one another and were all excited about what the future would bring them, how the concept that had been created (a storyline that involved jumping around different time periods and discovering both new music and a new member each time, the theory being that whatever different genre they discovered would then be a main element incorporated in the next comeback) could be explored further. 

In between their debut and first comeback, in April 2019, they were joined by a new member. Levi (or rather Junyeong, as was his birth name) came from a group named ALGORHYTHM, driven to leave by the constant fights between him and leader Daehoon that were steadily getting worse. He was welcomed warmly to the group and integrated almost seamlessly, as if he was there all along. His popularity from his previous group worked well to bring some attention to SLOW MOTION, which then boded well for their next release in June 2019: ‘SINCE WHEN?,’ their first (and what would turn out to be their only) full album. The album seemed to be the start of a good period for SLOW MOTION, where things felt like they were looking up. More and more people were tuning in, the title track ‘Timeline’ earned them their first music show win, and all in all everything felt better than they had in a good while.

But, slowly after that first win, no sooner than a month after the comeback, attention began dwindling again. Numbers started dropping, sales were dipping lower and lower, and by August 2019 things were looking worse than even their debut era. Extra content just stopped being posted of them, seeing as there were practically no fans in the fanbase that were going to watch it, and soon enough it was looking more in the interest of FNC to cut their losses and put an end to them before profit started turning into debt. And so, in December 2019, just over a year of activity, SLOW MOTION were announced to have disbanded. You could say that many look back on them and mourn over what could have been, but the reality is that most have no idea who they even were. It’s the minority of people that are doing the grieving over lost opportunities and such.

i.⠀길도연

Not quite as confident as he’d go on and grow to be, what with SLOW MOTION being his first years of being a real idol, Doyeon didn’t think he was quite cut out to be the leader—a notion that Hoyoung more than agreed with, in their earlier days, believing that he’d be much better suited for the role. He knew when to take the lead when it really mattered, but handling his members on a daily basis was a major struggle. He was an uncomfortable mess of nerves and festering insecurity during their mere year of activity, usually turning to practising late into the night to take his mind off of it. Increasing the strain on himself physically definitely wasn’t the best of ideas, sure, but at the time he felt as if dance was all he knew. So he carried on. Since the disbandment, nothing was known of where he’d end up—until the announcement of CHERRYADE.

Hoyoung was a fuse impatiently waiting to be lit. The slightest thing could set him off, the littlest irritation could spark up into a flame if it was a particularly bad day. Brash, overconfident (but, admittedly, with the charisma to back it up), he was a person you had to make an effort to like, to get along with, but there was no one who disagreed on the fact that he was good in all he did. The decision to make Doyeon leader instead of him was one that didn’t exactly make him the happiest, and it caused a few heated arguments back when they were trainees, but they’d since made up and all was fine. Since the disbandment he’s been spotted enjoying himself on various nights out in Hongdae (even being filmed behind the DJ booth once or twice), but nothing’s been said of anything happening in future.

Ever the calm, quiet mediator, Seongjin’s was a face you just couldn’t hate. He couldn’t speak ill of anyone if he tried (and even if he so direly wanted to. He could never seem to actually get the words out when it really came down to it), and was a fan-favourite even with how short the group actually lasted. A pretty smile was apparently more than enough to make up for how little the masses (or in SLOW MOTION’s case, lack of any crowds at all) were able to see the four-turned-five in action. He was left blindsided by the sudden disbandment and fell off the radar for a year or so, only popping back up again in the form of an anonymous (at first) Instagram account that he slowly began to upload his own content onto and attempt to rebuild himself from there. No official statement was made, but it was assumed he’d long left FNC.

Freshly out of the group he’d been stuck in for three years, Levi sadly didn’t get a chance to enjoy it for too long before he was being told, alongside his new four fellow members, that they were being scrapped—six months after his first comeback with them. He’d been full of ambition in ALGORYHTHM, trying to make changes and take them further in his own way—taking far more control over the rest than Daehoon thought was appropriate for the youngest of the lot. Over time passing insults and petty fights turned into yelling matches and throwing things, turned into jabs that went far deeper than all the skin-deep ones that had been traded before, and one day he’d decided he’d just had enough, so he left. But, as it turned out, he might’ve ended up better off if he had just grinned and bore it. Since disbandment he’s mainly been laying low, having made a public Instagram account but nothing on it suggesting neither his return with another group nor releasing any music of his own.

Daejun was someone who didn’t really realise his love for a thrill, for attention, for praise and adrenaline and everything else mixed up with what came with being an idol, until he’d debuted. Even if SLOW MOTION were hardly making any waves, he still felt a little bit of a headrush—overthrowing himself into everything, throwing it all back like a shot and still wanting more after the fact. It had awakened the party boy in him, the thrill-seeker he didn’t know he was. (Or in some critic’s eyes, he was more like an addict searching for his next fix, a fame-chaser who couldn’t seem to find any of what he was looking for in the group he was stuck in). SLOW MOTION’s disbandment didn’t seem to slow him down in the slightest, and he’s another common sight in the downtown clubbing scene—long having split from FNC—and since slowly starting to put on sultry performances of self-made songs at open-mic nights for all the screaming partygoers to hear, looking right at home as he does so.

PART vi. act three: bonsoir.

You have a perfectly good group in the palm of your hand. They like each other, the predebut music is generally being received well, and a fanbase is steadily growing and anticipating the day when they finally debut properly. But then comes along a hopeful, wanting to start afresh and find his footing in a new industry he knows next to nothing about. Some would say the one thing you shouldn’t do was place this untrained and bright-eyed newbie (AKA a fuse) into what could’ve been the number one money maker (which, frankly, they desperately needed at that point) group—but Seungdae was curious. (Over) ambitious. The result was something that he probably should’ve seen coming from a mile away: the fuse lit, and while at first the fire was one that was only slowly smouldering, the flames soon became harder and harder to stamp back out again.

BONSOIR was a fictional four-turned-five-piece (again) South Korean boy group, formed by JAGUAR. They first released the predebut single ‘MAYDAY’ in November 2018 as a four-membered group—consisting of members Jiyeol, Mai, Hyeonmin, and Yijun—both as an attempt to generate a fanbase for the group in anticipation for their actual debut, and to take the media’s attention away from the untimely suicide of who had once been JAGUAR’s reigning king and one of the public’s favourite soloists: YOON (known to everyone else as Choi Yoonhae) earlier that same month. Although many saw it was not a particularly nice thing to do, it worked exactly as hoped & intended: now the attention of the masses were more focused on the constant stream of predebut content JAGUAR were releasing of the four members (ranging from introduction videos to behind-the-scenes of ‘MAYDAY’ to a general social media presence consisting of selfies and playful videos and the like) than any of the blurry details the company were being vague about surrounding YOON’s passing.

This presence—that some called too much, almost overwhelming—kept up with no signs of stopping until around mid December 2018, when everything abruptly fell silent with no explanation as to why. Unbeknownst to (most) of the public, though, this was around the same time that once-actor Ahn Jaehee made the decision to try his hand at the whole idol shtick, and also made the choice to sign to JAGUAR to start his journey. CEO Seungdae thought the best course of action would be to add him to the BONSOIR lineup, and so the reason for the sudden absence of the four members was that they were being given ample time to adjust with the addition of their new member and start to practise as a five-piece group moving forward, ready for their October 2019 debut with the mini album ‘BETTER IS MORE.’ 

But Jaehee’s addition went the opposite direction to what Seungdae had hoped. Instead of taking him on under their wing and him slotting into the relationship the four had already gradually established over the years spent together, the new maknae fit with the rest of BONSOIR like oil and water—which is to say, he didn’t. They just.. Didn’t get along. Even after the near year they had to try, Jaehee still didn’t click. By the time debut rolled around they could all be civil, obviously, and knew how to keep up good enough appearances for the public, but after the cameras were off they all mostly acted as if they didn’t know him. He got it from Yijun the worst, who—after a few months of attempting surface-level kindness, even if it was only because of Hyeonmin’s pleading—dropped all pretence completely and let him know any time he was able to that, in his eyes, BONSOIR was a group that Jaehee just didn’t belong to. Wasn’t meant for. And never would be, however hard he tried. It never went as far as outright bullying him, but he never had a nice thing to say any time he was in conversation with him, either.

BONSOIR continued promotions as normal as a five-piece after their debut, coming out with as much non-music-related content like any other group does. Relations behind the scene were more dismal than ever, though. Yijun was still firmly holding grudges against both Jaehee and Jiyeol (the latter for a petty fight they’d had after the rumours of Jaehee joining them had first arose), Mai was playing instigator any chance he got, and in the middle of it all was Hyeonmin—who didn’t really care about any of the fights nor take any sides, and just continued his day-to-day as he always did. It seemed they were just going to carry on this way for as long as they were active—that was, until the article dropped.

Late March 2020, the (mostly unknown, at the time) journalist Song Kyumin dropped a piece detailing all of what Jaehee had been put through by the hands of his members up until that point. Mainly criminalising Yijun and Mai (although Jiyeol did receive a few blows, as well as Hyeonmin for his lack of doing anything to stop it), the article was quick to blow up—fans and nonfans alike expressing their shock over the cruelty the maknae was victim to, as well as theorising on who and where Kyumin got the information from to spill in the first place. JAGUAR made no such statement on the article, not acknowledging it at all—and not even the insiders had any information on what was going on inside their walls, not hearing word of anyone being blamed for the incident or any dismissals from the company. All group activities came to an abrupt end, and in a similar fashion to how they had predebut when Jaehee signed to the company, BONSOIR went entirely silent. Nobody would hear anything more of them until the official disbandment notice in early May that same year, a simple one-page affair signed off by Seungdae and left at that. They were a group that didn’t last that long at all (although admittedly they had a longer run than SLOW MOTION) and their demise was kind of their own fault. After that JAGUAR would go on to have a 14-month long period of absolutely nothing happening—until the news of CHERRYADE dropped in July 2021.

Jiyeol was relatively quiet with his ambitions (ever the pessimist, not wanting to have too high hopes lest they get scrapped—which, as it turned out, he was right for), straightforward and blunt with his leadership. He was realistic to a fault, not being able to read the room well enough to realise when people want things buttered up or watered down—he was just unable to give anything but the cold, hard truth, which caused a few major rifts in relationships with a few people over the years (Yijun, to name one of the main ones). He could let loose and have a little fun sometimes (namely when Mai dragged him out to one party or another and wouldn’t let go of him until he managed to get a smile on his face), but the majority of the time he mostly maintained his apathetic and almost-bored attitude. Despite the fact not much has been heard from him since BONSOIR’s end, some people think there’s something coming. No one’s sure what, exactly, but.. We’ll see.

More than anything else, Ilwoo wanted fun. More than responsibilities, more than pleasantries, more than any other false pretences. He wanted entertainment, for himself and himself only—and if that meant making other people the butt of the joke, making a few too many jabs at their expense to be considered friendly, then he’d do it anyway. All he wanted was a quick laugh, an easy fix—a want that translated to a few of his other habits, also. He’d lay off and play nice if he knew he wouldn’t get a reaction out of whoever he was tormenting (although he wouldn’t call it that, of course), but as soon as he knew it was a one-way ticket to get under someone’s skin it would be practically never-ending. Not much has been heard from him since their disbandment, bar from his appearance in the background of a few non-friend’s photos and some scarce sightings of him at some club or another.

You could spend years side-by-side with Hyeonmin, and by the end of it you still wouldn’t have been able to tell how he felt on any given day. He was a book full of blank pages to even his former members for the first few months they knew each other, written in an unknown tongue in invisible ink. Impossible to get to know, and seemingly unkeen to make any of the first moves to talk to them, either. Once you put the effort in and break down the walls, though, you’ll most likely be rewarded—he’s reliable, not mean-spirited or likely to hold petty grudges, and can even crack a good joke here and there if he’s really in a good mood (or drunk). Similarly to the three of his bandmates that didn’t end up in CHERRYADE, Hyeonmin has been silent since they were scrapped—although he has been spotted hanging out with Yijun a few times, which came as no surprise seeing how close the pair are.

The Yijun from now compared to the him from back then is, to some, completely unrecognisable. He was a little on the quiet side during his years as a trainee, only really starting to shine when alongside his to-be groupmates and whenever the evaluations came around and he knew he had to put his all into it. The more bubbly side came to stay during the MAYDAY era, but then it all came to a grinding halt in the form of Jaehee joining the four. He kept up the act of liking him just as much as any of his other bandmates for the public, but most of the time behind the scenes put no effort into trying to play nice. The shift in personality was permanent, it seemed, and it’s assumed that the happier side of Yijun will still be long gone during his time in CHERRYADE.

Eager to prove himself after making the impulsive jump into the idol industry, Jaehee was throwing everything he had into every appearance he made in public after the official BONSOIR debut, trying the best he could to find a place for himself in amongst the already long-established bonds between the four boys he was shoved in with. For the most part, it didn’t work in the slightest. While Hyeonmin could at least stand to spend time with him whenever they weren’t on a schedule, to the rest it was like that sounded like the worst possible way they could spend their days. He spent his years with the group wishing he could be anywhere else—and with CHERRYADE, he might get his wish, but with the cost of Yijun being right there beside him. So, really, it might not be so much of a win after all.

NAME⠀ㅇ⠀AHN JAEHEE ( 안재희. )

BORN⠀ㅇ⠀JULY 8, 2002

POSITION⠀ㅇ⠀LEAD RAPPER, DANCER, MAKNAE

PLAYED BY⠀ㅇ⠀CHOI HYUNWOOK

NOV 2018⠀MAYDAY⠀(FROM PREDEBUT SINGLE: “MAYDAY”)

OCT 2019⠀MORE⠀(FROM MINI ALBUM: “BETTER IS MORE”)

And there,  finally,  is that.  Discographies from these boys look pretty dismal compared to who I covered in the last part,  so sorry for that,  but I guess it’s not really my fault—blame them.  (Or the public,  in the case of SLOW MOTION.  Is that a low blow?).  I hope this information means at least a little bit of something to you,  and that with it in mind you come to form your own opinion about the possible fate of CHERRYADE.  Personally,  I’m rooting for them,  but you might’ve read all this and decided you hate their guts already.  I don’t suppose anyone would blame you.  Anyway,  bye again.  Once more,  I’ve been justbcmb,  and enjoy your night!

Fun facts abt residents & castle trio according to Ikevamp Radio (ヴァンなま) Part 7

Episode idk the number but Happy 7th Anniversary Ikevamp!!

(Hoping they don’t private the stream like so many of the other ones)

It’s with Morishin (Sebas’s VA) ONLY so I’m kinda bummed about that… but he always makes every episode chaotic so I guess that’s a plus (no this isn’t Sebas hate)

(The headless Arthur and Vincent in the background I CAN’T HAHAHHA)

This years theme is TABOO so we’re getting gacha & events with these themes :)) in JP at least

So apparently in the Ikesen livestream, on June 3, it was determined that the nickname for Yamada Shiro, the artist for Ikevamp and Ikesen, would be “Shiro-chan” (it’s cute)

Morishin is like “Shiro-chan are you watching??” and then proceeds to worry if it’s appropriate to say that (but everyone in chat just spams “Shiro-chan!!” in the comments)

Morishin touching Leo’s boob mousepad LMAOO (also the fact that apparently he was told in the rehearsal that he was allowed to grope it) → and then told by the comments that maybe he touched it too much

After the ads, Morishin said “... So I was told that I was seen by Shiro-chan..” while groping Leo’s boobs??? HAHAHA 

So the first segment is called “Open the Forbidden Door: Ikevamp Taboo Quiz” where they use the youtube live chat feature to ask the viewers questions & they answer

The first question is [TABOO Level 1] Out of these options, one person is hiding their TABOO… their least favorite food. Which of these people are lying? 1: Charles (likes souffle) 2: Isaac (likes sandwiches) 3: Vincent (likes pancakes) 4: Mozart (likes cookies) WAIT THEY ANSWER VIA IN-GAME VOICE LINESS???

Charles: Things I like? Let’s see…. I like souffles. They’re delicious as a meal or as a dessert, and while we are waiting for them to bake, we can talk a lot with each other.

Isaac: My favorite food? Hmm… If I were to pick one, it'd be sandwiches. I can eat it while I’m reading or doing research.

VIncent: Woahh! It’s a fluffy pancake! Yup, it’s my favorite food! I like eating it with butter. Hey, can I eat these? 

Mozart: Cookies, scones, and the like… How can you eat those foods that get messy and fall apart a lot?

Question 2!! [TABOO Level 10] (the jump from levels what the—) According to the Ikevamp election 2024 “The forbidden couple ~Whose hand will you take tonight?~” Story event (which will be available in the future), which of these kink (?) options are not available in the story? 1: Hypnosis play 2: Honey play 3: Brush play 4: Ice play

(the difficulty level increased suddenly…) the one with the highest vote was the brush play?? (what is that? Don’t answer that pls) But the correct answer was option 1: Hypnosis play

3rd question  [TABOO Level 30] Whose lower abs (iliopsoas muscle) is this? (There’s an image of it) 1: Faust 2: Jean 3: Leonardo 4: Shakespeare

The most voted answer is Leonardo, which was the correct answer (from the 4th anniversary birthday card)

4th question  [TABOO Level 50] Whose xxx (nipple)  is this?? (there’s also an image) 1: Theo 2: Arthur 3: Comte 4: Dazai

The chosen answer was Arthur which was correct!! (image from the 2018 election of Arthur’s sexy wet illustration)

5th question  [TABOO Level 70] According to Sebas’s story on the “7th Anniversary Let’s speed up the main routes campaign” which words can be best replaced as xxx from the original line? The line being “Why is it… that the more you touch me here, xxx” 1: my heart beats rapidly 2: my body becomes hotter 3: you become sweeter?? (idk how to translate this accurately it’s an expression) 4: my dyungyun bangyuns (similar to option 1 but more comical)

The options were more diverse, with 3 being the most popular choice, but 4 being the 3rd most popular choice (darn it). The correct answer is… Numero 3

6th question  [TABOO Level 100] The ultimate forbidden action in ikevamp is, of course, blood-sucking. Listen to this please: (insert audio) Whose sounds was that? 1: Galileo 2: Vlad 3: Napoleon 4: Drake

Galileo got the most votes, and he was the correct answer!!

Morishin as confused that the more the level increased, the more they got the answers correct

Also we’re able to listen to the other options sucking blood (how is this allowed on youtube???)

The next segment is “Hidden Secrets: Taboo Talk” using X (Twitter) they introduce the viewer’s taboo episodes.

Morishin said that it wouldn’t be weird if Comte (or everyone in Ikevamp) would participate in Paris Olympics (happening rn) with their buff bodies HAHA

Next Morishin introduces the different pictures of this campaign where viewers could slide their fingers on screen (on the characters) and remove their clothes /// (again HOW IS THIS AVAILABLE ON YT???)

Now we get to see how people decorate their avatars :)) love the big Moussette one

NEXT!! We get to see amazing fanart with the theme of TABOO!! THEY’RE ALL SO PRETTY & AMAZING I love it when official companies appreciate their creators and communities

In the “I love yu” segment (love that it’s been here since the beginning) 

(it’s only Sebas here so I’ll just have his name once) Sebas: *Hums* Today was such an amazing day. Who would’ve thought that we would be able to go to the beach as a leisure activity? The observation details were everywhere! It was almost too much by myself. As soon as I get out of the bath, I shall start taking notes in my journal. *GASP!!* I felt a signal of wanting to know the contents of my diary!! Are you curious? You want to know, yes? Of course. I’ll go to the center of the bathtub and shout my love of these historical figures.

Arriving at the beach, everyone couldn’t take their eyes off of your figure in a swimsuit, but the ones to take the initiative were Master Arthur and Charles. Because surprise, it was them two who had chosen your swimwear. “You can enjoy the beach to the max with a girl’s swimsuit” is what they said, not even willing to hide their true intentions. The two—as the sexy representation—stared at you in your figure, enjoying the beach to the fullest.

Following them, Masters Napoleon and Isaac took some time walking by the shore. I was watching them from under the parasol, but their figures depicting young love was something out of a drama. Holding your hand tightly as you were blown by the salty winds, showing the future of the cutest love triangle… On which channel could I watch the second episode?? Oh, my apologies.

After the walk, the ones who invited you for lunch were Masters Leonardo and Drake. The large fish that Drake caught was swiftly chopped by Leonardo, completing an exquisite sashimi lunch. Of course, the soy sauce was provided by myself.

After lunch, a drawing event was held by the van Gogh brothers in the sand. The three’s challenging tastes clashed, completing a squid-like product the more you look at it, the more you love. Everyone’s satisfied expressions were brighter than the sunlight in the summer, and is that wholesome moment—allowed to be viewed for free??

After that, you were invited by Dazai-san and Faust to sunbathe, but as soon as I heard that they want to “xxxxxx” you, I, Satou Akihiko, could not stand by and watch! I replied. I stumbled on my words from the aggressiveness, but please understand my consideration. 

Leading you to Master Jean and Shakespeare, the three of you listened to the sound of waves. The three of you shared your own world there—mmm, very romantic. 

When Herr Mozart and Vlad invited you out into the shade, your cheeks were very warm, as if you had a heat stroke. Cooling off in the shade… I would like to experience that as well. I am waiting for your invitation. 

At last, it was dinner time, and you were invited to a seaside restaurant by Comte and Galileo. While you were enjoying the seafood dishes, the two were sipping on their wine. As a historical maniac, the scene was a delicious dish. Sebas can eat much more!!

Of course, I was able to enjoy time with you too. Sitting by the shore, laughing “ahaha, ahaha” and “Hey~you did it,” splashing water together. Your face was glowing with the drops of water, something from a dream. 

When the others are with you, they look so happy. To be able to observe them is something I enjoy. However, there is a side of me that wants to keep you all to yourself. This way of thinking… may be taboo for a butler like me. But it should be okay if it’s something I do in my head. Here, let me think of a confession of love I want to say to you at the beach.

“Even if I know that this is a forbidden love, my feelings for you cannot be stopped. I want to take you to the far ends of the sea, where no one will know of our circumstances. That is how much I love you.”

With this, I, Sebas, will be able to overcome this challenging summer. Well, before we overheat, let’s get out of the bath and start writing in our historical figure journals. The fact that I have this journal is something the others must not know—a taboo. 

AAAND that’s the end of the segment

They have a new PV (yayyyy) and it looks so HOT??? It should be released by the time this post is out

Leo’s sequel will be out this winter (for the JP players)

Lol I literally forgot how much fun I have watching this (as well as how much time it takes to translate this in one session haha)

Also if anyone wants me to translate/want me to expand on more things, I can take things into consideration and (maybe) do it

If anyone got this far, have an amazing rest of your day/night!!
