#like i'm sorry but where was that energy when he wrote that bs at the beginning of the pandemic and when that one horrendous essay of his

[robotclownindulgence]

After all of the shit neilman has said and done it would be really funny if his stance on the internet archive is gonna be the last straw for his tumblr fanbase

omg your biases really make sense to me!! from the ones i know, they all seem to have similar energy.

ahhh, my ults are way too many. but some of my favourites are probably irene, jisoo, hyunjin, (han) jisung, doyoung, yuna, and more!! they're the first few that come to my mind but i'm sure there are others i'm forgetting.

i think the most similar out of my ults are irene and doyoung. i feel like they can pulverise me with their eyes. they're also very straightfoward, no BS type of people so i can imagine them being brutally honest to each other.

jisung, hyunjin, and yuna also kind of have the same energy to me!! they're very bright, bubbly, and just enjoy making the people around them smile. sometimes, esp in jisung's case, this tends to overshadow their talent unfortunately, but they don't let that get them down. they're good at what they do, and always have a cheerful smile on their faces while they do.

and jisoo is a mix of those two to me. she's very smiley and cheerful, but at the same kinda has a no BS attitude. she knows what she wants to do, and does it well. she knows when it's time to joke around and when it's time to be serious.

i really love all those qualities in all of them!!

and, moving on to today's mission, what is your all-time favourite kpop mv?? what's your favourite mv from each of your favourite groups? is there something you don't like to see in mvs? something you like to see and wish there was more of? just let me know your thoughts on kpop mvs!! i really want to know.

i, personally, loveeee when mvs lean into a dark fantasy type of vibe. or have a royal theme. just watching those types of mvs make it feel like less of an mv and more of a cinematic experience.

as always, i hope you're doing well and i'm sorry this is so long!!

I totally get the Irene & Doyoung comparison! When I read the names, I immediately imagined their cold stares… I just think they have that as resting face in general haha cool to know your ults!

Ah, yes; at first I didn’t focus too much on Jisung as a kpop star, more so as a funny & cute dude in the group after their début… but once I rewatched a few of their stages and paid close attention to his vocals, adlibs and expertise in freestyle, I have so much respect for him as a performer too. He’s really got a good control over his pitch & doesn’t strain his chords, as I’ve seen a ton of mainly rappers do while singing; he just belts so naturally and I adore his singing voice.

As for his rapping —leaving the lyrics his mind comes up with instantaneously— I really love how he keeps his voice natural most of the time and doesn’t go too high (most female rappers & g-dragon for example ehe) but not how Changbin & Hyunjin do it by keeping them almost all natural, like; he goes into a higher pitch but it’s not the kind that would bug me? I really love hearing him rap, while I usually don’t like how most rappers sound in their rapping voice if they go with a higher pitch.

He’s also an exceptional dancer as we all know and really keeps his expressions in accordance to the song (I’ve noticed Beomgyu does this too), he has the kind of charisma and presence on stage that keeps the audience engaged!

(One would think he’s actually my skz bias after reading this essay on him LOL)

Ooh this week’s questions are interesting! I think one thing I don’t like in MVs would be too much/the wrong use of cgi? I really don’t like it when companies overdo it, or if they use it in a place where it wasn’t necessary/add a scene the MV could do without. I have many examples for it, but I think the biggest one would be txt’s blue hour MV? I think that the weird 3D-esque look one would find in Jimmy Neutron or 90s-00s video games isn’t really all that appealing :/ it was in the scenes with the colourful plants and squirrels, and I didn’t like it all that much. Then for the scene where they jump off and are shown skydiving was a little choppy and I feel like it would’ve been perfectly fine if those weren’t included in the end result, but each to their own, I guess! I personally find going the yg route and adding big screens showcasing those aspects into the background looks cleaner and more aesthetically appealing than shots relying solely on the green screen.

As for my favourite parts; I also really adore the royal aesthetic some directors go for! Some examples are astro’s all night, favorite’s loca, red velvet’s psycho and a good chunk off of nu’est’s MVs! The. There’s also the gold & black woth quite a few of sf9’s MVs + golden child’s wannabe and almost vintage? yet rich look for the latter’s without you & oneus’ MVs like those for valkyrie, twilight, to be or not to be etc… oh and the futuristic yet free feel MVs shot like jihoon’s 360 & sungwoon’s forbidden island have! I dunno what category they fall in but I love Wooseok’s sugar and all of park jihoon MVs!

Sorry, I probably wrote twice the amount of words you put in akdnfbvn but you’re always welcome to say as much as you want, I really love reading it all <3 are you, perhaps, into reading and/or writing? Your flow is really smooth while talking and the way you craft sentences is really similar to how a writer friend of mine talked :3 hope you have a lovely day ahead, anon!
