my 5 favourite k-pop music videos <3

I love music videos, and in k-pop there are a lot of mildy shitty ones, but there are also some amazing ones that are just as iconic as they are aesthetically pleasing. Obviously budget will come into play here, so big 4 groups will be more prevalent on this list, but I tried to be as fair as possible, within reason. Also, I'm a girl group stan, so don't expect many boy groups. Obviously I will forget some, but maybe I'll make a part two, and you are very welcome to leave your fave mvs in the rbs or comments. This list is in no particular order, lets gaur

1. 'Feel Special' - TWICE (JYP Ent.)

This music video inspired this list, and for good reason. 'Feel Special' is in my opinion, the epitome of Twice, as they stand today. It encapsulates their more mature concept post 'Yes Or Yes', but it doesn't alienate their debut cuter concept, it rather welcomes it with open arms and celebrates it as a part of Twice's history, something their newer releases occasionally struggle with. Visually its a feast, its decadent and lavish, and positively gorgeous. Each member has her own movie-esque set, employing various genres and aesthetics, and then the members unite in the most glittery set ever concieved, the gold contrasting their raspberry and champagne outfits magnificently, while also referencing the group's official colours, as seen on their lightstick. The whole video is cinematic and opulent, and every detail, down to Sana's dip died pink hair, and Nayeon's stunning ginger curls which I wish she would bring back, is flawless. The only gripe I have is Chaeyoung's unblended foundation in her solo scene, but hey, we aren't all be perfect. My favourite scenes in this video are the afor-mentioned glittery golden arches group scene, as well as Jihyo's rainbow vintage television scene, that was surprisingly ahead of its time in terms of its retro aesthetics. It's a must-watch music video for the history books, and it's Twice's best song too - it deserves no less.

2. 'Why Not?' - LOONA (BlockBerry Creative - ew)

Note: If you would like to watch this m/v, please stream it from a non official yt channel, in accordance with the boycott. They will usually be marked with 'Boycott Ver.' in the title or something similar.

Loona has a lot of amazing music videos in their arsenal, but 'Why Not?' goes above and beyond. It's one of the most visually striking music videos I have ever seen, and its grasp on colour, composition, and rhythm is completely unparalleled. It's vibrancy is just gorgeous, full of neon lights and shining metallics. The video exists in a constant state of dichotomy: both cool and warm, metropolitan and pastoral, manmade and fantastical. You would assume this would ruin the video's visual message, but the contrast actually enhances it, as well as furthering the group's lore. it's unafraid to experiment with aspect ratio and camera movement, and along with the subversive editing, the final product is unique as well as timeless. Who cares that the last five scenes were neon and retro-futuristic? It's time for Heejin and Hyunjin's black and white minimalist mildly 1920s suited up dance break with a 4:3 aspect ratio of course! As the song itself says, why not? It's as playful as the song, as well as being visually stunning. My favourite scenes include Choerry's upside down mirror moment with the neon lights, as well as Kim Lip in the field with the funky glowing orbs, and of course the cult circle on the moon scene. Fucking iconic.

3. 'Ditto' (Sides A & B) - NewJeans (Ador)

Note: I have a full review of this song, if you are interested.

Where the other videos on this list are overwhelmingly vibrant or cinematic, 'Ditto' is understated and personal. Arguably one of the most influential k-pop music videos of all time, it breaks every rule of what a music video of this genre looks and feels like, rejecting glamour and high fashion for an unromanticized schoolgirl aesthetic surrounded with melancholy. It's heartfelt and unassumingly tragic, and truly makes the viewer yearn for a time they only half remember. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of cinema I have ever seen, and I am so happy that K-pop stans loved it to death as I did, despite how starkly different it is to most everything in k-pop before it. It does however remind me of f(x)'s '4 Walls' m/v, which isn't a shock as Min Heejin (ew) was their creative director also. It also has vibes of the cult classic (?) Japanese movie 'All About Lily Chou Chou'. It has sparked many trends in the industry, including but not limited to: b-roll interspersions, the typical schoolgirl aesthetic, and the general rejection of the polished, glitzy vibe we expect of k-pop idols. Their impact on trends is notable, but in my opinion, no one has executed this aesthetic to the standard that NewJeans has. The unassuming tragic beauty of 'Ditto' is difficult to put into words, you must go and watch the two music videos for it - they are life changing.

4. 'Kill This Love' - BLACKPINK (YG Ent.)

Say what you will about Blackpink, but they KNOW how to do a music video, and 'Kill This Love' is one of their best; it is beyond extravagant. The sets are huge and striking and insane - Jennie floats on the heads of two enormous swans and all four girls dance in the middle of a huge fucking BEAR TRAP and its ridiculously cool. The fashion and styling is amazing too - my fave looks include Jennie's Lara Croft moment with the braid, Lisa's big ass fur coat from her cereal scene, and Jennie's gorgeous eye makeup from her shopping scene with Lisa. In a word, 'Kill This Love' is extra(vagant). Even the scenes that are conceptually ordinary - Lisa's cereal aisle, Rosé crying in her car - are elevated into the extraordinary. There is no real storyline or through line between the scenes other than their saturated colour palettes and the members themselves, but who cares? The members look like fucking goddesses, the dance looks amazing, and there are MULTIPLE jaw-drop moments throughout the runtime - what more do you want? Where 'Ditto' rejects the typical k-pop visual aesthetics, 'Kill This Love' epitomizes them. If I wanted to explain to western pop stan what k-pop is about, this is the video I would show them first. My favourite scenes include: the group scene with the exploding statues and the bad bitch combat outfits, Rosé caught in the storm with beautiful lighting, and THE BEST SCENE IN A BLACKPINK MUSIC VIDEO EVERRRR... Jisoo's goddess moment with the sun and the reflections. Nobody does music videos quite like Blackpink.

5. 'What Is Love?' - TWICE (JYP Ent.)

This music video is so unbelievably special to me. It doesn't break any boundaries with camera movement, editing, or aspect ratio like 'Why Not?', and it doesn't entirely reinvent the typical k-pop music video like 'Ditto' either, but I think it is one of the best music videos ever because it is so FUN. 'What Is Love' is a music video that is a series of references to iconic movies, most of which being about love, as the title suggests. It harkens back to 'La La Land', 'La Boum', 'Pulp Fiction', 'The Princess Diaries', and many more, with the girls playing the characters, on their fictional discovery of what love truly is. It's so special to me because it reminds me of doing exactly what the girls are doing with my best friends and my big sister - trying to learn what love is from the movies is something almost everyone has experienced, and thus the whole video feels nostalgic both for its references, and for its overall concept. It's fun and lighthearted and a memory of simpler times. Oh, to be a 12 year old obsessed with 'The Princess Diaries' again, to be a tween watching 'Pulp Fiction' with your big sister when it's probably not age appropriate, to be young teen watching 'La La Land' right when it came out. What a time to be alive. That's what 'What Is Love?' is, it's a celebration of life, of growing up, of being just a little naive and knowing it. Iconic, truly.

[disaster-j]

idk if you can help me with this but i fell in love with offgun watching not me and watching content about them there's so much of tay tawan with them. i like him and i know he has done bl too, but there's so many series he's in, do you know what i should watch of him? or if it's any good?

I can definitely help you with that, yes! Tay is a great actor imo, one of my thai faves actually. While I haven't watched his full discography, I have seen him in A Lot of shows by now so here's my- entirely subjective -guide to watching Tay Tawan's work. And we gotta start off with what I consider his best work and one of the greatest thai shows of all time-

1. 3 Will Be Free

3wbf is a 2019 drama starring Tay, Mild (my favourite thai actress!!!) and Joss in the main roles. It's a somewhat fast paced crime thriller about three people from very different backgrounds who end up on the run from a mafia boss together and fall in love along the way. This show features a love triangle that ends in ot3, a super badass transfem character played by our queen Jennie Panhan and a whole lot of iconic moments. It was one of the first thai shows I ever watched and I will happily recommend it to anyone who'll listen for the rest of my life. You can watch it for free on YouTube here.

2. The Gifted + The Gifted Graduation

So this is a two part series and while Tay is only in s2 I must add it to the list bc if you're gonna watch thai shows you need to watch this one. It's arguably one of the best thai series in existence. The plot is captivating and engaging, the cinematography is eye-catching and the cast is one of the best ensemble casts ever. Gun and Sing (Todd in Not Me) are two amazing actors that you'd recognise here but I also recommend looking out for the rest of the cast; especially Jane, Nanon and Chimon who are all incredible actors. Tay will appear in s2 and it's hands down one of his best performances yet. You can find both seasons on yt here.

3. Dark Blue Kiss

This 2019 series was Tay's first main role in a proper BL, where he starred opposite his long-time ship partner New. The show is a sequel to non BL shows Kiss and Kiss Me Again but I would not recommend watching either of them on account of them being pretty fucking bad. There IS a PeteKao cut that you can watch on yt to get an idea of how those two got together before watching DBK and that should be enough. I also feel the need to warn you that DBK has very mixed reviews and while I loved it, there's no guarantee it would be to your taste. I explained in this post why I loved PeteKao's story and felt it's a very important one that needed to be told so you can look that up before giving it a try if you wish. But honestly if you like BLs and melodrama it would be a fun enough watch. You can watch it on yt here. Also recommend watching their episode in Our Skyy which can be seen as a spin-off story for the same. You can also find that on gmm's yt channel here.

4. The Player

This show is if Cruel Intentions was a show about the elite class' exploitation of the poor and was also very queer. It's more along the lines of a traditional daytime soap and is hence more over the top and melodramatic. Very entertaining overall despite almost every character being super frustrating about the shitty choices they make. Tay's character is a cop that takes things way too far because of his personal involvement in the case and while the character himself is super annoying Tay does a pretty good job here. I had so much fun yelling at Tin for being a dumb bitch Nice Guy lmao. Also, Joss from 3wbf is one of the main characters and he's soooo hot in this it left me shook so that's a plus! This is another show you can watch on yt here.

5. Remember You

This is the only show on this list I haven't personally watched. You usually won't catch me recommending shows unless I've seen them but this one's a valid exception. The show is procedural drama centred around serial killers and the MC trying to catch em who has a hidden personal investment in the case. It is a thai remake of the 2015 kdrama Hello Monster. I'd watched the original soon after it finished airing and was captivated by Do Kyungsoo's (Exo's DO) performance and now, even though I wanna watch the remake for Tay, I'm worried my nostalgic loyalties towards the original will taint the experience so I haven't gotten around to it yet. Still, I hear it's a great show and Tay's performance as a loveable serial killer has been said to be quite amazing. So the show goes on the list. It's not available to watch on yt but you can find the official version on netflix and if you don't have that it should be available on sites like dramacool and kissasian.

6. I'm Tee Me Too

Moving on to some light-hearted titles- it did not occur to me how many more serious roles Tay does as compared to light, fluffy ones -we've got this mini series about 6 guys with distinct personalities who all coincidentally share the same name and end up cohabiting under the same roof. It's a short and fluffy drama centred around friendship/platonic relationships and features GMM's original three biggest BL ships OffGun, TayNew and KristSingto as the main cast. Gun's adorable dog Bibi also shows up to look cute in the background every other episode. It's a short and heart-warming watch that I recommend turning to after one of the heavier shows in the list have you reeling from all the emotions xD. You can watch it on yt here.

7. Secret Seven

While the pick your own romance vibes this teaser gives off are quite potent, beware of the show's deceptive nature. While finding a secret admirer appears to be the central plot of the story, it's really all about the platonic relationships within the show. The ensemble cast has amazing chemistry with each other and every interaction every character has with another feels wholesome and heart-warming. A love letter to love in it's many forms is what I'd call this show. While Tay is only one in a rather big ensemble cast this show is worth watching for a lot of reasons, biggest of all being Gun's character and the MC's incredible relationship. One of the best representations of platonic soulmates in my opinion. This show will leave you feeling warm and happy. Sadly, GMM privated the eps but you can still find them on sites like dramacool and kissasian.

~~~

And that's all of the shows Tay has been in that I've watched and would recommend other people watch as well. There's only one show which Tay is in- also starring Off in one of the lead roles -that I would not personally recommend and that is Girl2k. It was one of my most anticipated shows of 2020 and I waited a long time to watch it after it was pushed to feb2021 and it honestly was quite disappointing for me. I really enjoyed it at first but I felt that the show kind of wasted all the potential they'd built up with this super amazing and badass and ABSOLUTELY AROACE female lead by shifting all the focus onto a bland male lead near the end. All the romantic lines in the show were deeply disappointing and I hated how the main character's arc and growth felt cheapened by the focus on romance/love over her fighting a thousands of years old evil. You could still check it out and form your own opinions of it if you want but yeah I won't personally recommend it.

If you want you can also check out my analysis of Tay's upcoming gmm shows in these posts here and here. Hope this helps and happy watching!

SPOILERS FOR PEBBLE BRAIN

aka haines liveblogs a reaction

okay so the opening to oh yeah, you gonna cry sounds like an anime opening wowee

joe does in fact yell something that very much sounds like pog champ

this one feels like it’s got a lot of lines we’re gonna be able to shout back at them once we get a tour

it’s carried over the same energy of “i can belt this in my car” that are you alright had

YOOO that note in the last 10 seconds

Perfume time

the intro sounds way cooler than the snippet wilbur played us from his voice memos before

feels cursed to hear the professionally recorded version after so long haha

WOAH the instrumental around “but i can still smell her perfume”

vocals seem a little quiet over “you say your ex boyfriend’s a policeman”. i know people said the vocals were too loud on the last ep but i think they’ve overcompensated a bit

“it’s hard for me to move on when i don’t really hate you”. I DID NOT COME HERE TO BE ATTACKED LIKE THIS. HOLY CRAP. people were losing their goddam minds over “how’s it feel to be so loved yet so alone” and they’ve only gone and bloody done it again

wait my albums on shuffle shit. i didn’t mean to skip model buses and concrete.

back to model buses

this one also has two door cinema club anime opening vibes

like, i can imagine an oc animatic being made to this instrumental

i was expecting this one to be about bojo not gonna lie

side note i was having trouble hearing the lyrics over the backing so i went to genius.com and this is the entire page for the song and that’s deeply funny to me

okay concrete now

opening drums hit me like dandy highway man

i think i just really like the openings to all of this album actually holy crap

i feel like this is the cause for concern to this album but i really like it actually

liked the ending

you’ll understand when you’re older time

right off the bat this one reminds me a lot of sex sells. not in a “they copied it” way but like it has the same vibe. like they took some of the cool stuff from that song and added in a bunch of very different stuff from what makes up the rest of sex sells

liking the vocals on this one the most so far

“you can tell he’s lying ‘cuz his lips move” im gonna have to get over the mental baggage of being exposed to meghan trainor at a young age to enjoy this properly aren’t i

okay this ones my fave so far

no thoughts head happy

“if i’m going down you’re coming with me” im gonna have to get over the mental baggage of being exposed to the mountain goats at a young age to enjoy this properly aren’t i

“fuck”

the fall time

i hate that the title makes me think of undertale but the instrumental for this ones very interesting

the “fucking scared” call and response sent me right back into my 2000s kaiser cheifs phase what the-

i’m not reading too hard into the lyrics because this is the first time i’m hearing them but this song gives me villain song vibes

i have legitimately no idea what the fuck wilbur just said but it intimidated me

ITS ALL FUTILE ITS ALL POINTLESS MY BELOVED

this is the moment i have been waiting for i fucking love this song to the point that i uploaded a shitty cover of it onto my personal yt channel let’s fucking go boys

it is so strange not hearing this with just the guitar

the produced version of this song has sent me into the uncanny valley due to the sheer amount of times i’ve listened to the YCGMA anniversary version

okay it sounds significantly cooler with a full track behind “i don’t miss you” than just an acoustic guitar i have been swayed.

i am going to blast this so hard down the a12 it’s not even funny

the annunciation being different from the live version is still throwing me but i’m very sure i will be over that soon

“ITS OKAY ANYTHING TO MAKE ME FEEL LESS NUMB” i don’t need to see no more shit here i’m done i have ascended pass the jontron gif

i’ght that’s it that’s the album now time to listen to it incessantly for the next 6 months until they hopefully put out another one. absolutely worth the like 2 months wilbur spent away from streaming to write this thing in the middle of buttfuck nowhere (my family is from kent i feel no shame in calling it that)

now to piss off the americans by posting this in GMT lmao

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Whats your favorite song at the moment

Hey Nonny!

Ooof Too many, hahhaha! Because I don’t leave home anymore, I’m not looking constantly for new music to add to my Playlist, so mostly it’s stuff that I come across on Tumblr and is living rent-free in my head on repeat, or me digging on my harddrives for a nostalgia kick.... currently, these are the top 5 cycling in my head, no particular order:

(EDIT IT’S NOW TEN. I COULDN’T CHOOSE. LISTEN TO THEM ALL. THEY’RE ALL AMAZING)

(EDIT 2 SORRY IT’S NOW 15!! NONNY I’M SO SORRY. I know no one cares, but I LOVE sharing my Music with people)

(EDIT 3 *SIGH* Now 20. :| HELP. Stopping before I get carried away. No one ever likes my music so I love when people ask me for my songs with genuine interest)

Nathan Evans - The Wellerman (220 Kid X Billen Ted Remix) (flashing images CW in video!) – Got into the original of this one during the sea shanty trend, and then this dance remix came out... those of you who know me well, know that I am HOOKED on remixes, especially dance remixes. So I was so happy about this official one.

The Kiffness - Ievan Polkka ft. Bilal Göregen (Club Remix) – This one I got into because I think, again, the original with the blind man was trending, and then I found this remix artist on YouTube from his remix of The Wellerman, and his is SOOOO good!! I loved this song back in the early noughts when it was popular as “Leek Spin”. But then these young folks had to go and make it amazing again!!

ZHU, partywithray - Came For The Low – (LOTS OF FLASHING LIGHTS IN VIDEO CW!) Thank Falcon And the Winter Soldier for this one! It took me a WEEK to find out what song they’re playing in the club in Episode 3 when Zemo’s dancing, and YAY I found this finally (not the one hour one, sadly, still trying to find the song D+ Marvel used for that one). I LOVE IT. LISTEN TO IT. SO good if you like heavy club beats

Sim Gretina - A Friend Like Me (Electro Swing Remix) – This is SATISFYING. I LOVE IT. Found it years ago after that homemade Aladdin carpet video was going viral, and every time it comes up on my playlist, I replay it like 6 times.

Linkin Park - Numb (80′s Remix) – That tumblr meme song that went around years ago? HERE YOU ARE!!! :D This is TOO SHORT and it’s also on repeat when I listen to it. Y’all, this is what depression feels like when you’re trying to pretend to be happy all the time LOL. It’s a whole MOOD. This one is great to blast in the car and have people confused at you singing at the top of your lungs. Like, “I AM NUMB AND AN EDGELORD BUT READY TO PARTY!!!”.

One Ton - Supersexworld – Okay, this is an OLLLLLLDDD one by a one-hit wonder Canadian band that I stumbled upon recently when I was going through my hard drives to find new stuff to put onto my iPhone. I was OBSESSED with this song when it first came out, forgot about it, and NOW... SHIT I can’t STOP. This one is BLARING when I hear it, and am so happy I found it again. It’s simple, amazing, and AWESOME. LISTEN TO IT. You will love it. Please. It’s got one verse and one chorus over and over, and it’s catchy as hell. It’s on my personal Johnlock playlist :D

Deorro - Rise and Shine – GUYS. This song. Also on my personal Johnlock Playlist, this one is SOMETHING. First heard it in my BodyPump class, I NEEDED it. It’s SO GOOD. Jazzy Club Music??? YES PLEASE! Video is all kinds of amazing? YES PLEASE. PLEASE listen to this. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch (Eiffel 65 Remix) – Is this song a decade old? YES. Has it been on my iPod since it first came out? FUCK YES. Y’all, Eiffel 65 is SO underrated for their remixes. This is one of their best remixes, and it’s the PERFECT walking song. YES I look like an idiot walking to it, but I love it SO MUCH. It’s better than the original, imho.

Gotye feat. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know (Bastian Van Shield Remix) – LOL I KNOW: sacrilege to remix Gotye, but Y’ALL. This is the DEFINITIVE remix of one of his best songs. Six minutes of pure club beats, and just... ANOTHER perfect walking song that you need to SCREAM at the top of your lungs. Also on my personal Playlist, John POV, that I will share eventually.... it makes sense in the song order on the list, I promise LOL)

Tee Lopes - Marble Zone '12 – Tee Lopes is the official composer for Sonic Mania, hired because of all his AMAZING Classic Sonic remixes he did as a hobby on his YouTube channel. This one has a Tango flavour, and it’s SO good and not long enough. There’s an extended version here. Also love his Flying Battery and Ice Cap remixes. If you love video game music remixes like I do, check out his YT channel. There’s a TONNE there and it’s GREAT music to write to.

Aaron Smith - Dancin’ (KRONO Remix) – I dunno where I first heard this one, but I LOVE it. It’s like trancey club music. It’s beautiful, and WORTH a listen.

Pet Shop Boys - I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing [Extended Nude Mix] – Ooooof this one has been on my faves for a LONG time. Originally heard this on the PSB’s album Disco 2, back when their remixes were this good and long and clubby. I miss these so much. If you want a good club beat to thump your car, this is it my friends.

Informätik - A Matter of Time – FUCK ME I love this song. This is the song that made me want to start a Johnlock playlist. I talk more in length about it on this post here, but yeah, I still just.. MM. It’s just so beautiful and is what got me into EBM music in the first place. I listened to this and a lot of their music quite often in college when I was pining over people. Always the pining and never the requited, LOL. I just really love it. 

Pride and Fall - Paragon – GUYS. This one is SO good. Trancey EBM and just, UGHGGHHGHGHHHG It gives me so many feels. I’ve loved this song for SO many years, and just, still has to be on every iPod I own. It’s beautiful, and the lyrics are beautiful and I wish I was as beautiful as this song, LOL. Please listen and enjoy. Best bit is a 3:11 :D <3

Rammstein - Mein Teil (Pet Shop Boys Remix) – GUYS. This is one of the greatest collabs of all time. I love both Rammstein AND Pet Shop Boys, and was SO EXCITED when they remixed this song for the single. This is the better of the two remixes PSB did for them, and YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO IT. PURE CLUB BLISS. This is the PSB in their remixing best!!!! <3 Plus, it’s SUPER WEIRD to hear these angry Germans backing a club beat, I LOVE IT. Also, it’s literally a song about a true story of literally eating a dick, so.... *shrugs*

Pet Shop Boys - Love Etc. (PSB Mix) – Y’ALL. This is 6 minutes of LITERAL dance music BLISS. A fantastic remix of one of my fave songs from the PSB, which is essentially shitting on the materialism of relationships. And I love this one, it’s a great work out and car song. Honestly PLEASE listen to it.

Apoptygma Berzerk - Kathy’s Song (Beborn Beton Remix) – GUYYYYYYYYYsSSSS I love this song so much. The original is much slower, and I discovered Beborn Beton FROM this song (another great artist, check them out). This song is just, a great dance song, and just makes me scream out when I hear it. Full volume, beautiful song, beautiful lyrics. It’s my Android!lock headcanon song, but it is also on my JL Personal Playlist, LOL.

Darude vs. Robert Miles - Children of the Sandstorm – One of the BEST MASHUPS in the world, and I am CERTAIN it is an official one; I was obsessed with mashups when I was in college so I have a TONNE of them, but this one has always been a fave, and I still jam to it over a decade later. Seriously, these songs SEAMLESSLY blend together, it’s fantastic. Classic club and trance? HELLS YES. 

Eminem - Nobody Listen to Techno (Deep Dish Mix) – Another nostalgia hit for me. Is it pointless? Not if I enjoy it!! I LOVE this song. Deep Dish mixes were THE JAM in my college years, and like, this is just 9 minutes of PURE techno with some of his song “Without Me” sampled throughout. I LOVE IT. SO MUCH. This is a banger, and just, if you need music to listen to while driving or writing, this is one for you!!

Rammstein feat. Sharleen Spiteri - Stirb Nicht Vor Mir (Don't Die Before I Do) – And to bring the mood WAYYY down, did you know Rammstein did a love song? A beautiful, moves-me-to-tears love song? Because I did and it’s one of my FAVE songs by them. It’s SO beautiful, and the Till’s harsh voice WORKS for it. It’s gentle and soothing. It’s a German/English duet, and it makes me nearly cry EVERY TIME. Because I imagine John and Sherlock and then I die inside LOL. It’s so beautiful and I listen to this one years after it was released. Look up the translation, it is so beautiful.

AND if you guys happen to like any of these songs, copy the youtube video link and use this :)

Most of these that aren’t silly are on my Johnlock playlist, so do give the latter songs a listen! <3 I’m sorry for adding more than five... I just really love sharing things with you guys I like because I’m so lonely, LOL.

If any of y’all are playing these and trying to pick me up, *finger guns* Let’s go get cake and jam :D

AHH I like when I get asks like this! Sorry I took so long Nonny, but I just kept ADDING to it, as you can see. Had to stop because I could keep going.

[wernerherzogs]

Previous anon here--thank you! I'm VERY into spooky stuff, even though I'm also a huge baby, lol.

okay!!! so when it comes to unsolved, i’d recommend just following my tips from that primer post i reblogged earlier. there’s been many episodes to date, but most of them are around 20 minutes long, so it’s like. definitely possible to slowly catch up on all of that content! it’s good stuff to watch over, idk, a dinner when you’re bored, or whenever you find yourself having some free time. supernatural eps tend to produce most meme-able shane content, but i think they can feel a bit repetitive? because even if you do believe in the supernatural like ryan (and i do) -- spoiler alert -- nothing ever happens whenever the boys investigate a location, akfjs. (the locations are pretty much always cool though!) so personally i usually prefer their true crime cases -- all of those Actually Happened, i hadn’t heard of a lot of them before (although they do cover some absolute classics, too), and it’s fun and interesting to speculate what might have gone down, etc.

out of non-unsolved buzzfeed content featuring the boys i’d recommend checking out their ladylike ep, their knott’s berry farm visit, and ryan and brent (ryan’s original bfu co-host) touring la’s best taco trucks.

if you like history, shane hosted a show called ruining history over at buzzfeed (with ryan and shane’s gf sara as regular panelists, and other buzzfeed’s employees as rotating guest panelists), and now hosts excellent puppet history over at watcher (with only two panelists now -- ryan and rotating guests). both of these basically cover messy/chaotic or just interesting moments/people/events of history, which is combined with HUMOUR. shane’s a huge history nerd, and an excellent narrator. puppet history also has titular PUPPETS, and MUSICAL INTERLUDES.

out of watcher entertainment content -- all of which is divided into neat playlists on their channel right here, my fave show might be top 5 beatdown which basically boils down to shane and ryan Knowing Each Other and Bantering with one another over various silly ratings. all eps have different guests (one per episode) who are experts on featured topics (from crisps to pixar movies!!!).

there’s also the Shane And Ryan Take Each Other Out On Dates genre!!! like, that’s Literally it. they just spend time together doing various silly things, AND IT’S THE BEST. so you’ve got the show called weird wonderful world (season two is my favourite atm), and also tourist trapped (this one had only one episode so far, sadly, because it’s also a favourite of mine).

too many spirits is a new thing, and A MUST WATCH if you’re a connoisseur of the boys’ BANTER. they read out short spooky (and VERY BAD, which makes them hysterical) stories submitted by fans while they get progressively drunker -- they filmed all four episodes on the same night. so it’s basically CHAOTIC DRUNKEN FRIENDSHIP, the best you can get with those two!!!

the rest under the cut so i don’t annoy all of my followers too much:

are you scared? is one of the shows that debuted in lockdown/quarantine times. ryan reads creepypastas in this one! i’ve enjoyed every episode, but in all honesty ryan and shane don’t get to comment that often on those stories, and also all of them are quite clearly made up, so i don’t think this one is a must watch. some of those stories were really good though, so like... you basically should decide for yourself whether you want more spooky content or not! if you do, go for it! the art featured in the eps SLAPS, it must be said.

watcher weekly is their weekly casual show where they tell us what they’ve been up to, discuss the projects that are currently on air and possible future ones, answer fan questions, and etc. if you’re only a casual fan you can probably skip it! i do watch it regularly though. they have more of that on their patreon, as well as other exclusives (i’m not a patron myself though).

other stuff they have on the channel that you can probably skip: spooky small talk is ryan’s talk show, and i think he’s GREAT with people, and should get to interview them as often as possible, but the noise was getting to me. he interviews guests in a haunted house, which is genuinely great in theory, but it tends to be overwhelming on the ears tbh (for me at least). i only watched selected episodes of this one (highlights: shane’s ep, and the one with ryan’s gf mari). haven’t watched their D&D show, too, but if you’re into D&D, you’ll probably enjoy that! they also filmed this one in lockdown.

if you’re into food, steven lim (watcher’s third founder) hosts homemade (SUPER wholesome, about family recipes vs what you can find in restaurants) and grocery run. they also do podcasts (available in most places where you can usually find podcasts, and also on their separate yt channel), but i’ve given up on keeping with those, akjjfa.

TO SUM IT UP: there is A Lot, sure, but don’t get discouraged!!! literally just pick whatever sounds interesting to you, and then HAVE FUN. do it for the FRIENDSHIP. chronological order isn’t important in any of these, i think. even if you miss out on the origin of one of their running jokes or sth, you’ll eventually have caught up on it somehow anyway, i think! they tend to mention their fave Bits a lot!

I was tagged by the lovely @davidfors5 thank you so much  😭 😭 😭

1. fave character from each remake and why?

Skam Austin: Poonam Para. I know that she’s a side character and honestly i was close to saying Jo, Kelsey or Shay but she’s my fav. I think i just see a lot of myself in her and i like how she’s a completely new and different character. She’s funny and upfront and unique and I feel extremely understood and I hope we get to see more of her.

Skam France: Imane Bakhellal. Again i was really close to saying Yann or Lucas but i think just purely because of how much i can relate to Imane and understand her she’s my fav.

Druck: David Schreibner. While i definitely relate to Matteo the most and love Amira to no end, David is hands down my favourite. He’s such an icon and he especially makes me love Druck so much. I can’t really explain why he’s my favourite so much, this one is really more of like i feel it in my soul that he’s my favourite and that’s why.

Skam España: Joana Bianchi. I... I wanted to say Amira or Lucas because i love them so freaking much and this one was honestly the hardest for me to decide but it is Joana. I don’t know what it is but i just deeply care for her so much.

Skam NL: Liv Reijners. Although i really do love like all the NL characters. Liv i decided to pick because she can sing and i love her style and she’s strong and independent and i feel like she’s a really unique noora and i just. love everything about her. I can’t find a single fault  🙈

2. fave musical moment?

Skam: håper du har plass playing when the girls go to get Sana, i think we all cry every time and i still listen to that song to this day

Skam Austin: honestly… cloutie 4 lyfe go listen to clout from grandma’s closet on soundcloud i stg their talent… is unparalleled (honorary mention, when Megan’s upset and crying and goes to see Marlon and they play the fricking meme song and stop it at “run.” i die every time)

Skam France: what else could i say other than when Lucas played ‘i love you’ on the piano like chills lich rally chills luv (honorary mention how the music goes all soft the first time Lucas sees Eliott, again iconic)

Druck: this is hard like i kind of just wanna say whenever they’ve ever used a song it’s been absolutely perfect, i think i’ll say during the first kiss clip though when they go to hold their breath and the music with the water sound effects like aaaa ded

Skam España: the last clip when they go to kiss and ‘I Follow Rivers’ starts playing like... it’s just perfect like everything comes full circle and im CRYING

Skam NL: another remake that always picks perfect music, i think my fav is whenever Liv goes to the mic to sing like i love her singing voice so much

3. if you could make your own season, who would it be about and what would happen?

I have thought about this so much it’s almost funny lmao. There’s just so much potential with Skam and then if you factor in the remakes like... absolutely spoilt for choice omfg. I’d love a Jonas season because he’s great but i really dont know what it’d even be about, Mahdi is another character i’ve always felt immensely interested in and i would love to know more about him. In the middle of typing this i’ve come to a decision actually lmao. Two words- BALLOON. SQUAD. They are literally my favourite thing about og ever seriously and Elias is my favourite Skam character. So idk maybe a season about them? and maybe about their friend group and how they’re all drifting apart or brotherhood or like healthy male friendships where they are there for each other and shit or about Even becoming friends with them again or IDK. but i know i’d have loved a season centered on them and if i had a greater mind i’d be able to come up with a good plot for them too lmao.

4. rank the sanas ( I’m evil I know )

This is literally the worst question I’ve ever seen and yes you are evil

Sana, Amira TM, Amira N, Imane, Zoya, Esra, Imaan.

BUT THEY ARE ALL EQUALLY MY FAVOURITE 

5. fave season from each remake and why?

Skam Austin: Unpopular Opinion but i really loved season 1, however, I think i have to say season 2 because of how fucking well they developed all the characters like giving the cast input into the story was the best decision Skam Austin could’ve ever made. Also, Clout From Grandma’s Closet? like need i say more

Skam France: I only watched 3 and 4 and my fav is 3. Very good homage to OG with the story telling and made me absolutely fall in love with Lucas and Eliott. Like I went through the same motions as i did when i watched OG and it was nice to be reminded of that. Also liked the small changes they made like the Polaris thing that was iconic

Druck: SEASON 3. what an emotional fucking roller coaster. They had me hooked every single minute of the day and still do now. I love Matteo and how they changed the story up like im still pissed about the pacing kind of but honestly i loved season 3 and still rewatch it. the music was perfect, development of the characters, the softness. everything was just so good

Skam NL: As much as i love Liv I have to say season 1. it was goregously done, i loved the aesthetic and Isa is such a realistic and relatable character. Also her moments with Kes and Lucas and the moments with the girl squad, like it was just a really iconic start to an awesome series.

Skam España: I’ve only watched season 2 but i know even if i watched season 1 i would still say season 2 lmao. Honestly there is not a SINGLE thing they did wrong. like the story was perfect, the honour they did to og, how they switched the relationships up. it genuinely was just fucking perfect (except the whole panphobia thing. if that comment wasn’t said spain would have the best remake)

6. What’s your opinion on s2? what do you like and dislike the most? which remake made the best s2? (españa doesn’t count)

I am going to be truthful here and say that when i was first watching OG and watched season 2 I did like it but after growing up a bit and reflecting I now honestly really dont. like i’ve tried to avoid that season in remakes as much as i can (i’ve failed and the only noorhell i’ve not seen is frances one). I think what got me at first was the whole like layers thing to William. how there was more to him and also like the typical fanfic tropey moments between them. what i like about season 2 is the SA storyline, like that is an extremely important topic that needs to be talked about more so i like how it brought light to that and also how they show Noora handling the situation and how the girl squad are and i <3. What i dislike is how William uses Vilde and is so manipulative and ANNOYING omfg. Like i can’t explain how much his entitled rich ass frustrates me and how broken down Noora is by him.

7. what representation would you like to see in Skam (other than more wlw)?

Honestly i’d like to see more ethnic minorities tbh, especially like maybe some east asian people? I want skam to be the type of thing that no matter who you are you can see yourself represented in it and while the remakes and og do an alright job of it, i’d love to see more. i’ll say this this til the day i die- REPRESENTATION IS IMPORTANT

8. what country would you like to see a remake and why?

My biased ass is screaming Skam Scotland because like i would be able to relate to it so much and I’d love it with my entire soul but also just somewhere where the majority of the population isnt white. would be lovely for it to be in like India or Pakistan maybe so that I could personally relate to it but honestly anywhere with POC would be an absolute WIN for me. i suggest Skam Scotland where the girl and boy squad are south asians/east asians + black with the good ol’ token white friend! Hire me

9. fave head canon?

Honestly any (head)canon that says anyone is not cishet is like 👌 

10. sort characters into Hogwarts houses

I was going to do the characters from all the remakes when i realised... they’re all essentially the same each time I- anyways lmao

Hufflepuff -  Magnus, Even, Chris, Vilde, Mikael, Yousef, Linn

Slytherin - Sana, Isak

Gryffindor - Mahdi, Elias, Eva, Adam, Mutasim, Eskild

Ravenclaw - Jonas, Noora

This is mostly based off pure gut instinct idk

11. tell me your best crossover idea

How all the remakes seem to have the girl squads going on summer roads trips I kinda had this thought that maybe like the groups in each of the different remakes and og decide to go on a big friends holiday and everyone ends up in the same place and they all meet. none of the isaks really get along with each other, all the evens of course become best friends on the spot etc etc. i just want everyone to automatically become best friends im not good at coming up with ideas for these sorts of things sorry lmao

~

Opinions on each of the girl squads?

[mcrmadness]

Hello! Would you like to answer more of the ärzte-questions? I think it's interesting to see the opinion of a fan who's not German! What are your answers to the questions 21, 22 und 23? Have a nice day :)

Yes of course! Thank you for your ask :) These questions are all interesting and have to really think about this for a moment, as I just never remember anything when I’m supposed to list something :D And also because they have so many albums and so many songs, and different songs are awesome for different reasons. And actually I have to look from the internet which songs will fit these, cos Bela and Rod have often written songs together and kinda hard to find/remember, what they (or Bela) has written on his own. Beware, this is gonna be a long post…

Also keep in mind that I’m a weirdo who normally has huge trouble understanding lyrics and I usually don’t compare lyrics with sound, and I always name my fave songs after the sound and never after the lyrics. It depends a lot, if I can understand lyrics or not. I understand metaphorical stories better than cryptic and poetic texts that are lacking punctuation. So far I’ve found only few people whose lyrics I’m able to comprehend, more or less, and Farin is actually one of these people. He seems to write more like stories and many of them just play as a movie in my head if I read them; but then for example from Bela’s songs I often have problems with understanding as I cannot see the lyrics as a movie, I recently watched one with English subtitles from youtube and it was super hard for me to concentrate, I had to start over and take back a few times yet I felt like I just didn’t get it. And then I don’t care about lovesongs at all as I’m an not interested in relationships (I’m aro/ace), so my interests with things are already pretty different from many. So all what I’m answering to these questions are 99% about the sound/music, but I’ll mention it if I’ve read and been able to understand the lyrics and if they have changed my opinion at all. Normally for me “bad” lyrics can’t ruin a good song, but interesting lyrics can boost a good song. But I usually don’t find a song, that I don’t musically like so much, any better even if the lyrics are interesting. It’s mainly just annoying me :D Sometimes the music might open up a bit after lyrics, but this is very rare and again has happened to me only with couple of songs from Farin within DÄ or from his solo stuff.

21: Liebstes von Bela geschriebenes Lied?Here I wanted to say Die Banane (with this I know the lyrics, but idc cos musically it’s genius), but it was co-written by Rod so idk if it fits here… No but now I know! Blumen must be my favorite! Or, one of them. I also know what this song is about but I don’t care about that aspect, because I have liked the sound of this song all the way from when I’ve first heard it. And this song is one of those during what you ALWAYS have to turn the volume up a bit more. Even if it was already loud, you still have to turn it up :D I’m sure I’m missing out 5826720 songs now but at least these two are what came to me the first so maybe I’ll just go with intuition this time :D

22:Liebstes von Farin geschriebenes Lied?I left this question as last cos this is going to be the most difficult one, because most of my fave songs are from Farin and I can’t even decide which one on auch is my favorite, let alone to decide what is my fave from them ALL. For some reason my head is just shouting Allein here. I don’t know if it’s my FAVORITE favorite but right now I can’t really think of anything else. And if I start thinking about it, then the list would be endless and there would be songs like Schunder-Song, Opfer, Rebell, Wie es geht, Herrliche Jahre, Unrockbar, Schneller Leben, Junge, M&F, Cpt. Metal or Fiasko… and this didn’t even have the 80s songs and I already hard to browse the songlists anyway cos there’s way too many, I just can’t decide! So I guess I’m gonna do the same here as with previous question and go with my intuition and just say: Allein.

Why? This was actually my first DÄ song that I read the lyrics for. I had liked this song already a lot and then I remember sitting in my car, listening to Jazz ist anders! and waiting for someone from my family to come back from the local supermarket. And this song was playing and I suddenly paid more attention to it, felt like I need to hear it properly for the second time and I started it over and put volume up and oh my gosh how I just suddenly fell in love with this song after liking it already a lot. And then at some point, I guess there was this channel on yt that started uploading DÄ songs there with subtitles and this one was also there, and I guess that was when I found out about the lyrics too and this was also probably one of the first songs ever to me to have lyrics that I was able to understand. And I could relate to the lyrics a lot and even today, I relate to them a lot, maybe even more than I did back then. As nothing has really changed and what has, more into the direction that is in the lyrics. But yeah, at this moment I’m gonna name this song cos it’s one of those rare ones where I have paid attention to the lyrics and felt like it made the song a bit more stronger as well.

23:Liebstes von Rod geschriebenes Lied?Anti-Zombie! I don’t know, I just like everything in this song :D But Rod has also lots of great songs, and also I already mentioned Bang Bang from Seitenhirsch/Outtakes, but I wanna include here songs that have been really released on studio albums or so at some point.

So I’m trying to get into TRCNG and wanted to know if there were any videos I should watch to start to stan them?

Dear Anon,

I am glad you want to get into TRCNG and I will try to make here something like a masterlist of videos and recommend you those which are the basic ones. Prepare that it is going to be quite long. Before that let me just write

IF YOU WANT TO SHARE THIS SOMEWHERE ELSE, PLEASE PUT CREDITS THERE, THANK YOU!

Rising subs isn’t active anymore. There is another subbers team called TRCNG subs - you can find link below (there are also translations of videos from Japanese fanclub so definitely check it out… the channel is not that active either). Another is Hazel S which is now the most up to date with translations (also you can find link below).

There are also some good translators on Twitter and that is TRCNG SCOPE (Korean), Kei (Korean - not only posts but also parts of Vlives etc.) and Hazel

Links for channels

TS YT CHANNEL (TRCNG has two “broadcasts”, TRACKING - which is longer and usually is taken during some event; FUNNY10 - shorter videos, usually moments from certain events)

TRCNG VLIVE (TS uploads there all TRACKING and FUNNY10 episodes plus the rest of their vlives)

RISING SUBS (providing ENG SUBBED videos) (this channel won’t provide any new vids… now there is TRCNG SUBS (currently not that active) so there is another Hazel S which is currently the most updated

TRCNG JAPAN OFFICIAL (you usually won’t find whole videos; you can find whole on trcng.jp  but only if you are in the Japan Fanclub - it is free, I joined, the only thing is that you have to crack all that Kanji, Katakana and Hiragana, but google is a good friend and helps a lot lol)

Members’ videos

So for every newbie you should start to watch all subbed trcng videos there are up until now:

Introduction video  (where they introduce themselves very quickly, talk about what they like or about their, sometimes very questionable, nicknames), recently one kinda-like-intro video from Arirang

Instruction manuals (where other members say some nice, or not nice, things always about one member; Jihun, Hayoung, Taeseon, Hakmin, Wooyeop, Jisung, Hyunwoo, Siwoo, Hohyeon, Kangmin

And I recommend to watch crack videos from Adoringgguk because it shows you that dork/extra side of TRCNG

Those two are the basic of the basics where you learn something more about the members but tbh you get to know them more after watching other videos aka

They also appeared on another shows or videos which had eng subs in it already:

Other subbed videos by Rising Subs/TRCNG subs/Hazel S

When they had to guess the lyrics 

When they had 10 secs to introduce themselves

That thing with those cat ears

Relay questions

When they were at Dream Concert

Another Japanese interview

Celuv TV interview form Who Am I Show-Con (½, 2/2)

Now the ones without subs (or maybe some hard subs in vlives… for more check their Vlive channel I haven’t written them all here bc it is way too much there lol)

When they were live in tbs fact in star interview (it is worth to watch, bc random play dance, Hayoung and Kangmin singing and lot more)

When they danced Shark dance (which they, btw, prepared for their first showcase)

When they were on THE SHOW and Youngjae was the interviewer (PART 1, PART 2, PART 3, PART 4)

When they appeared on CELUV TV maybe in the future there will be subs on VLIVE

When they had MY VERY FIRST VLIVE (and we could finally see them in casual clothes); Their SECOND VLIVE and got so into the game that they disconnected the camera and had to make SECOND PART OF SECOND VLIVE

When they made two teams and do Quiz Champion (warning you will cringe a lot) Brain Team (Jisung, Hakmin, Jihun, Hyunwoo, Kangmin), Short Team (Taeseon, Hayoung, Wooyeop, Siwoo, Hohyeon)

When they celebrated 100 days and they finally got over 1M hearts and it was the messiest and softest vlive ever

When they celebrated 200 days and it was probalby soft again but I dunno bc I haven’t watched it yet lol

When Hayoung was MC for TRCNG ON AIR 1 vlive and Hakmin for TRCNG ON AIR 2 and Taeseon for TRCNG ON AIR 3 (and ON AIR 3-2 because TS fucked up)

When they made random Vlive in school uniforms and Hakmin killed us with his vocal skills

When Hyunwoo and Hayoung were one team and I thought I’d die Vlive also knows as one huge mess and second part with the rest of members

When they had (Jihun, Taeseon, Hakmin, Hyunwoo) a vlive which was a huge mess and wild B.A.P appeared

When they were in backstage during Dream Concert

When they played that game with the bulldog as B.A.P did

When Peoplegate made few vids with them FIRST, SECOND and recording from Valentine Music Talk Show

When they were behind Show Champion stage

When Hayoung and Hyunwoo were in Arirang’s Idol Class

In the very end, there are some youtube TRCNG video edits channels Adoringgguk (I love them they make the best TRCNG crack vids)Acixe *TRCNG Trash*, is it a meme yet

!! Also there may be some vids subbed on their Vlive… currently it is Taeseon’s latest vlive and will be there even more in the future (at least from what I know from the person who is translating them) !!

There is so many of videos now it is hard to recommend something... so watch intro videos and then Arirang ones and then vlives (Subbed one is definitely the Summer Vacation Week).

I hope this was helpful for you (and also other TRCNG stans) and I hope that you find here what you needed haha. I hope you will support the smols in the future
