2023: A Year in Review

tagged by the wonderful @weiwuz thank you!!

rules: link your favourite and/or most popular post from each month of this year (it's totally fine to skip months and tag some CCs you love!)

i'm going to link more than one because i feel like i've improved a lot over this past year as i adapted more to using photopea & explored a lot more when it comes to giffing using it & i'm proud of how far i've come this year! (also you can see when i went from only doing 1 gif a month to like multiple 🤣) apparently i didn't make very many sets in may that aren't in my eyes "boring" 🤣

JANUARY

first love: hatsukoi + terminal by lewloh & julia gartha

kurodachi | cherry magic + moment by jeff satur — for userdramas event 3: beginnings

lan wangji | the untamed (golden core reveal & all the things he said to wwx when he didn't know he was coreless because i love inflicting pain)

FEBRUARY

kodama sakuko | koisenu futari — for userdramas event 4: love

asatsune | reversal orchestra (with a quote by r.m. drake)

MARCH

asatsune | reversal orchestra ep 8

mike chinnarat in midnight museum ep 2 (this one might also be most popular people were rightfully unhinged when they saw this set/him in this drama)

asatsune | reversal orchestra ep 9

core four | brush up life

APRIL

jiang cheng | the untamed — for userdramas event 6: second time to shine

JUNE

takahashi satoru | koisenu futari — for userdramas event 7: identity (it's rainbow coloured what else can i say)

jeff satur lucid mv (aka the set i still kick myself for forgetting i could've used this for userdramas bingo)

wasteland by kang daniel set (another set where i kinda used b&w and didn't hate it also i just love the blending in this set, & the og mv for SOS was like yellow)

JULY

wei wuxian | the untamed — for userdramas get to know me bingo: character

AUGUST

takahashi satoru | koisenu futari — for userdramas event 9: icon

SEPTEMBER

xiyao | the untamed — for userdramas event 10: emotions (i really loved how this one turned out with the transition of the colours & just the colouring in general i really love)

asatsune | reversal orchestra — for userdramas get to know me bingo: relationship (i had a lot of trial and error with this set, it took a whole like 7 months for me to finish it because i kept going back and redoing the colouring because reversal orchestra if you haven't seen it is like literally colour coded yellow/orange, you can also tell it took me this long because this is one of the few sets after like july where i used my old gif size)

OCTOBER

xiyao | the untamed — for userdramas event 11: inspiration

NOVEMBER

songxiao | the untamed — for userdramas event 12 loss (this one is actually probably my favourite set of mine of all time)

yaojing | lost you forever — for asiandramanet nov bingo: animation (fade transition effect used, this one took me a long time to make & it turned out so much better than i expected)

tushan jing | lost you forever — for asiandramanet nov bingo: quote (i'm not a lover of using yellow in my gifsets & i actively tend to avoid it but i wanted to use yellow because i think it embodied the quote well and i surprisingly loved how it turned out)

tang lian | the blood of youth — for asiandramanet nov bingo: blending

DECEMBER

zhening | story of kunning palace — for asiandramanet dec bingo: black & white (b&w is another thing i tend to avoid with my gifsets because i usually dislike the outcome but i really loved how this turned out)

yunqing | reset — for userdramas secret santa + asiandramanet dec bingo: overlay

jinwoo/moeun | tell me that you love me — for asiandramanet dec bingo: free choice (i've been wanting to use this quote for agessss and it was just perf for them & this set has grown on me a lot)

yaojing | lost you forever (ep 33) — for asiandramanet dec bingo: typography (ironically for this what i love about it is the colouring)

jinwoo/moeun | tell me that you love me (ep 9) — for asiandramanet dec bingo: comfort

i'm too lazy to tag people so please feel free to say i tagged you, & if you read the whole of this post ilysm

HeartBrokenClub's Last Mission.

The Most Unforgettable Moment as a Specter: When HBC Verified… and I Found Love.

Sometimes, life throws the most unexpected twists at you. For me, the most unforgettable moment of being a Specter wasn’t just about the hype, the camaraderie, or the excitement of waiting for updates—it was when HBC got verified. That moment alone was epic, but for me, it became even more memorable for a completely different reason: I ended up in a relationship with my now-boyfriend at the exact same time.

My Top 5 Saddest Songs That Hit Me Right in the Feels.

You know those nights when you’re just lying there, letting the music take over, and suddenly you’re all up in your feelings? Yeah, same. Over time, I’ve found a few songs that never fail to hit me in that spot—the kind of songs that are both beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. So, here are my top 5 saddest songs, in no particular order, because honestly, they’re all emotional masterpieces:

"Whatever Happens Now" (Stripped) by Elina This song feels like a quiet storm—it’s so raw, so vulnerable. It’s like Elina is reading straight from your heart when everything feels uncertain and heavy.

"Red Flags" by Lewloh, Joie Tan This one hits differently. The lyrics just stab you with their honesty about ignoring all those little warning signs in love. It’s sad, but it’s real.

"Miss Me The Same" by Sara Keys, Anson Seabra This duet is such a bittersweet mix of longing and heartbreak. It’s like a conversation you wish you could have but never do.

"How Do We Stay in Love?" by Blake Rose This one just makes you sit there and think—about love, effort, and the fear of losing something so precious. Blake Rose’s voice makes it even more haunting.

"Love You and Let You Go" by Jordy The title says it all. It’s the pain of loving someone but knowing you have to let them go for the sake of both of you. Jordy’s delivery? Devastatingly beautiful.

A Message for Fragile Hearts: Learn, Grow, and Stay Strong.

To anyone out there feeling like their heart’s a little too fragile, like it’s been through too much and might not make it through the next hit—this one’s for you. Life has a way of testing us, of pushing us to our limits. But here’s the thing: every crack, every scar, every bruise on your heart is proof that you’ve survived.

Take your pain, your mistakes, and your heartbreaks as lessons. Learn from them. It’s okay to feel weak sometimes, but don’t let that define you. Build yourself back up, piece by piece. Let those broken moments make you stronger, not smaller.

It’s not easy, I know. Some days, it feels impossible. But the heart is resilient, even when it doesn’t feel like it. You’re stronger than you think, and every experience—good or bad—is shaping you into someone who can face the world with courage. So, keep going. You’ve got this.

A Message to My Sentinels: Thank You for Letting Me Be a Part of You.

To all my Sentinels, I just want to take a moment to say thank you—for accepting me, Miguel, into this amazing OA. You’ve been more than just caretakers to me; you’ve been friends, family, and my biggest supporters. Being a part of this journey with you all has been one of the best experiences of my life. No matter where life takes us or how things change, I hope we’ll always stay connected. Even if the time comes when you’re no longer my caretakers, I want us to stay friends. The bond we’ve built means so much to me, and I know it’s something worth holding onto. So, here’s to us—to the memories, the laughs, and everything we’ve shared.

Grateful to Be Part of the Heart Broken Club and the Specters.

Joining the Heart Broken Club and becoming a Specter has honestly been such a special experience for me. I’m so happy to be part of this amazing OA, not just because of the love we all share for HBC, but also because it’s introduced me to so many incredible people.

The Most Meaningful Mission: Embracing the Past During the Healing Phase.

Out of all the missions I’ve done, the one that truly left a mark on me was during the healing phase. There was this task where we had to fill out boxes about our feelings—really diving deep into how we’ve come to accept our past. It wasn’t just another mission; it felt personal, like a conversation with myself that I had been avoiding for so long.

Writing down those feelings wasn’t easy, but it was freeing. It made me realize how far I’ve come, how much I’ve grown, and how important it is to make peace with the things that once hurt me. That mission wasn’t just about ticking off a box—it was about finding closure and giving myself permission to move forward. It’s a moment I’ll always carry with me.

The Hardest Phase to Let Go: Learning to Accept and Move On.

If there’s one phase that’s been the hardest for me to let go of, it’s the phase of acceptance—the part where you finally let yourself say, “This is life, and it’s okay.” It’s not easy to come to terms with the fact that some things belong to the past, no matter how much you wish you could hold onto them.

Letting go isn’t about forgetting; it’s about learning to live with the memories without letting them weigh you down. But that’s easier said than done, right? Sometimes, it feels like I’m holding on to the idea of what could’ve been instead of embracing what is. Still, I’m trying. Slowly, I’m learning that life moves forward for a reason, and maybe, just maybe, the best is yet to come.

Music is a really big part of my life, so I listen to it quite a lot. Whenever I'm writing I always have to have something playing, usually a track that somehow echoes the mood of chapter or a story I'm working on. I can't write without music.

I'm just going to pick a few randomly from my spotify.

Suzume by RADWIMPS feat. Toaka

There's an ethereal, mystical feel to this song that makes this song beautiful.

2. Under the Influence by Joel Sunny

This is an instrumental song that I would use when I have to write a scene that would need a sustained tension.

3. Flower Blossom by Kim Jang Woo

Another instrumental song. This one I would use when I need to write something delicate, sweet, and a little wistful.

4. Terminal by Lewloh feat. Julia Gartha

I actually found this song when I was watching the trailer for Summer Daze. The chorus is lovely and I can listen to on repeat for days.

5. Neray Neray Vas by Soch the Band feat. Butt Brothers

This is one of my favourite songs because of its lyrics and the bass, and its a song that fills me with energy. This song to me is the beauty of what Punjabi music is.

[[Reblogging to add more, Serendipity by Lewloh & Julia Gartha is so good for Heartsteel Aphelios and Alune!!!! ]]

[[I feel like I have tripped and fell and somehow ended up being a heartsteel blog LMFAOOOO i love the boys. But yeah just wanted to say that I think Sugarcrash is very Heartsteel!Kayn core. ok bye thanks guys]]

Post Break-up Diary 2.0: Day 376

When I hold you, I remember that you are right for me You created tiny planets where you and I could be

Happy, in your galaxy I am happy, but is this reality?

When I want you, you are fire that I'm afraid to touch You are beauty and you take me to a place where I can be

Happy, in your galaxy I am happy, but I'm falling into your Gravity, in your galaxy I am happy, but is this my reality?

[brokencameralens]

“We crossed many bridges to get to where we last kiss.”

“We were meant to be together, but not till forever. That’s just how the story goes.”

“We were never perfect, and we were both learning. This was the pain we both chose.”

lewloh Opens Up on the Striking ‘michigan/missinghim’ [Q&A]

Today sees the release of lewloh’s michigan/missinghim, a 13-track tour de force rife with emotion and sonic exploration. We had the chance to sit down with lewloh and gain further insight into his latest project and the artist behind the magic. 

Who is lewloh? How is your “artist self” different from Lewis the individual?

The main difference between lewloh and myself the individual, is that he isn’t afraid to share openly about his pain, trauma and learnings. He is the eloquent version of me, and takes the time to process his emotions to communicate them efficiently. I’m also more introverted than lewloh. I enjoy solitude and gaming whereas he enjoys meeting new people and listening to their stories.

What is “terminal” about? What made it pair so well as a duet?

“terminal” is about inevitable endings. I wrote this with my friend Gabbi Gots, about a week after a breakup and was sharing this feeling I had during the relationship about almost knowing that its ending was nearing. Because of the long distance narrative that was woven into the song, I felt that this story was best told as a duet. I knew Julia Gartha would be an amazing fit for the song and so I Facetimed her out of the blue one night, and just hoped she’d be onboard (and she was!!)

What influenced the song, is it in on trend with the rest of your release michigan/missinghim? Or is it different and why? 

“terminal” is track seven on the album, and signifies a major turning point in the story. It goes from ‘dance around him’ which is all about avoiding talking about the problems in a relationship, to acknowledging that this love isn’t strong enough to resist its inescapable ending. Sonically, I also feel that it is the most pop sounding track on the record and will hopefully make your body dance in sadness.

How does your songwriting background help you write music, is it more structured? Thematic? Is it liberating or difficult knowing song structure?

My songwriting background helps me to be even more intentional about my writing. Every decision I make be it lyrical, melody or form, is to support the overarching narrative I wanted to tell with michigan/missinghim. In the past I’d just trust my instincts blindly, but now I feel like I understand my instincts. Just like a baker with all their newer and more efficient kitchen tools, they are empowered to come up with new recipes, whilst saving time by avoiding simple mistakes.

Southeast Asia appears to be a real hotbed of third culture pop; is that new? Or are people just starting to take appropriate notice? 

It’s a mix of both. I think there is a growing interest across SEA, towards cultural diversity and people having different stories to tell... and so whilst there are new third culture pop acts popping up, there have also been many existing story tellers in the field finally getting attention.

How does identity factor into your music if at all; is it a backdrop? A source of emotions? Or just a point of catharsis? 

I believe that one’s identity dictates everything about their art. The way I communicate and express my ideas is decided by my upbringing, perspective and level of awareness. My identity helps to distill my experiences into (hopefully) relatable and digestible songs. 

What are your hopes and dreams for this release? Where do you want your music to take you?

I really hope that I’ll be able to tour this album, and meet listeners from around Asia that have been supporting the music and I for a while. I’m also excited for this project to be added into my catalog, and hopefully be synced to some tv shows. Honestly, I’m already very grateful to be doing music full-time, and so if this album can continue to support my living, I’d be more than content.

Is there anything in music people should be paying more attention to? Specifically from Singapore? 

I think people should be paying more attention to the messages embedded in lyrics, and reflecting more on how it may apply to themselves.

Who are your Ones to Watch? 

My Ones to Watch are Umar Sirhan, Lincoln Lim and Vivien Yap.
