introduction | wonwoo & company

prev. | m.list | next

wonwoo | ▶• ılıılıılılıılıılı. oh my god by fog lake

facts

- picked up photography when he was really young. his brother had wanted to try it out but quickly gave up. wonwoo tried it for himself, and never let go since then - a senior in photography major. often gets upset with some of the teachers view on art. thinks they're too closed off. also, very shy about posting his pictures. - likes to be alone on his night strolls to take pictures. still, he can't say no when mingyu asks to tag along. - apart from photography, wonwoo loves gaming, reading and puzzles - wonwoo lives alone and tends to feel lonely. he never states so though. - he's closed off and never really talked about his feelings or struggles. always managed to say enough to quiet his friends and not enough to be truthfull about what he's going through

one thing hoshi would like wonwoo to know... open up more, we're worried about you

mingyu | ▶• ılıılıılılıılıılı. how to drown by cottonwood firing squad

facts

- often get mischaracterized as a dumb, casanova guy. often gets insecure because of that and, lowkey scared that he'll end up becoming the person everyone thinks he is - genuinely frustrated and sad when people don't approach him because of that. thinks no one really knows nor understand who he is. exept wonwoo - childhood bestfriend with wonwoo. spent 2 years without talking to each others though. the reasons why will never be disclosed by neither of them - mingyu always has his phone on him in case his family, or friends seek help, he thrives in being people's happy pill - it's rare for mingyu to shut down or be quiet. when he does, it means that he's seriously in pain - he doesn't believe in grudges, if he accepts your apology, then consider your fault completly erased in his brain. just don't do it twice.

one thing seungcheol would like mingyu to know... you're a better person than i am

seungcheol | ▶• ılıılıılılıılıılı. inside out by duster

facts

- used to be on of those person who mischaracterized mingyu. due to forced proximity in high school thanks to various clubs, he learnt that mingyu was a cool guy - to this day, he still feels guilt as to how he portrayed mingyu - quit drinking and smoking as his new year resolution. so far he's doing good - tends to vent in their groupchat then dips off from the surface of the earth for a few days. comes back later as if nothing happened - he doesn't know how to comfort people, but he's an excelent rationnal advice giver - never attended college, he works with his brother in a record store. coolest guy in town

one thing mingyu would like seungcheol to know... when i said i forgave you, i meant it

hoshi | ▶• ılıılıılılıılıılı. problems by pinegrove

facts

- believes love is the most important thing this wolrd can provide. wether it's family, friends or a lover, love is the glue and solution to everything to him - he's a senior in biology major. wants to work in a zoo, he's an heavy feline lover - never really studies but he always manages to pass his exams. in class, he's really attentive and that's really all he needs to have good grades - often cancel plans because he'd rather hang with his mom. his friends never get upset when he does. - wants to travel the world on his own after he graduates. terrified he won't see what the world has to give, always up for an adventure - currently is in a dopamine detox challenge, hence why he's slow with his replies

one thing wonwoo would like hoshi to know... you deserve to be happy, whoever gets to fall in love with you or have you in their life is lucky

[def more that i forgot and will add when i remember]

fun facts abt me because i can't think what to add next:

im not british (or anything non-american). in sixth grade my friend and i discovered bbc sherlock, got hyperfixated on it, and decided to start spelling things the non-'merican way. he's dropped it, but the habit has stuck with me since.

i really like boba tea and fully believe that tapioca is better than the popping pearls (the flavor of the latter is just lost in the tea, and there's barely any texture, what's the point??) (gen confused. /srs)

big fan of the sky. specifically the night sky but i like the sky in general. i love to take pictures of cool scenes in daytime and ones of the stars. sometimes i post them here.

I'm the drummer in a band that's part of an organization in my local place of living. we're called 'God Save the Queer'. it's me (transmasc, remember?), and a lesbian couple. currently we're working on covering Days by mothermother, and we're planning to do some original stuff in the future :3

my favourite emoticon/text face is :}, as can be seen at the top of this post.

i'm working on learning ASL! for funsies, to support the deaf community, and bc sometimes i hate talking. inspired originally by A Silent Voice (movie mentioned in the fandoms section. it's a beautiful anime about a deaf girl)

when writing does not need to be cohesive and understandable, (such as when texting) i love to use strange punctuation and capitalisation: (,,, , blah Blah ,, .example . Text Here.) my friends find it a nightmare. (or at least one has told me so :D)

i usually do exclamation marks in pairs. (!!) three seems too excited and fake, and one is rarely enough.

i really like the movie Fall Guy. the newish one starring ryan gosling. i would mention it in the fandoms section but i don't think there really is much of a fandom for it. i haven't gone looking, so i very well may be mistaken, i dont know. anyways yeah. fav movie atm and probably will be for a while (couple years mb. i'm picky.).

i'm orchidromantic, which means i feel attraction but don't want a relationship. fancy way of saying i have commitment issues :]

I have a scar on my forehead from my brother throwing a spoon around when we were younger. (my villain origin story frfr) (feel free to ask about it if ya care to know more /nf)

My tags!

kazzydoodles <- art stuff ( i barely ever post- i think i have two things on here that i've drawn lmao. but i might post more if i feel like it in la futura) (i don't think that's right.)

kazzyyaps <- my yapping posts! mostly talking about stuff going on in my life, or like random thoughts.

kazzy crashes out <- my vent posts. feel free to block this tag ^^

and that, dear reader, is the end. whether you read the whole post or simply skipped and ended up here, this is where you are now.

have a cookie 🍪. or if you don't want, or can't eat one, then have a wonderful day instead <3 (in fact, if you so choose, you may have both.)

Songs That I Think Would Make a Good Sad Character Edit (Pedro Pascal Specific)

I don't make edits, but I watch a lot of them, and I also love sad edits, and who plays a better Sad Man than Pedro Pascal. Thus, I have composed a brief list of songs that I think would make good edits for Sad Man played by Pedro Pascal. I couldn't come up with a better title (my bad).

What If It Doesn't End Well - Chloe Moriondo

The View Between Villages - Noah Kahan

Babylon - Oneohtrix Point Never, Alex G

Cowboy Take Me Away - Fire Swimmer (cover)

Savior Complex - Phoebe Bridgers

Problems - Pinegrove

Devil On My Back - Chrissy

I haven't seen as many edits of Sad Man characters as I might like, and I'm sure these songs have been done for Pedro Pascal characters specifically, but I'm begging for someone who actually can make edits to see the vision.

[ari-the-philosopher]

This is my first actual post on tumblr and I wasn’t entirely sure what to do, but I kinda just decided I’d do whatever I felt like and this stupid pinegrove album, Everything So Far, has been on my mind for weeks.

I have a problem with this album- it’s that it’s actually an amazing piece of art and I love it, but the ENDING. It’s a tragedy, truly.

I was recommended the album by a friend and they explained that in the beginning all the songs are shorter and almost feel incomplete, and then after & it explodes and the songs become longer and more colour is brought into the album with the tone. Once I had a listen for myself I 1000% agreed, but I couldn’t get behind the last few songs (which they hadn’t actually listened to).

The whole album leading up to the song Recycling builds in a really powerful way and then Recyling comes on and it’s perfect. Sunday is right after Recycling, and while it’s a good song, Recycling feels like a finale, if I could change the song itself for it to be written as a conclusion I’d extend it to be something like 7/6:37 instead of 4:37.

The last two songs, On Jet Lag and Days play and the end of the album is fully spoiled for me. Personally, On Jet Lag is only mid, and then Days is just not good. Days isn’t a conclusion. It’s possible this was intentional, however there are ways to make songs feel open-ended and still have them serve as a good conclusion, for example, A Matter Of Time in the album Let Live & Let Ghosts by Jukebox the Ghost is a conclusion that gives the listener the question, “Well, what happens next? Where do we go from here?” (This is another amazing album I’d definitely recommend listening to, it’s amazing and I will for sure be doing a separate post for that one at a later date). We can also see great examples of open conclusions in books too, where even though it’s open for the reader to think about what might’ve happened, it’s a satisfying conclusion.

Unfortunately, Everything so Far doesn’t have this satisfying conclusion and it really bothers me as this album is so good and *almost* all the songs are amazing on it and the order of which they are played is well-organized.

For a more complete album, I think switching the placements of Sunday and Recycling and placing On Jet Lag after Sunday. just not having Days. I originally thought that the album could do without On Jet Lag, but after re-listening to the song I found it only sounds mid by association with the last song, it’s honestly just an okay song on its own, but I think it’s a good transition song into the finale.

If I could rearrange the album but I had to keep all the songs, I’d keep it the same for the ending, but put Days somewhere before &.

It’s essential that an album have a killer intro song (New Friends sets the tone so well!! It’s so gooooddd) and a satisfying conclusion (Recycling but slightly longer, please believe me).

I could go on for days about the individual songs in this album, but I will not bore you with that, so I leave you with this.

I love this album to bits, but the ending was atrocious, imo.

Hooray for my first rant/post!

The Grand Experiment (Ashton Greymoore fanmix)

(listen here)

This mix follows Ashton from pre-campaign, through the big fall from the tower and rebuilding, adjusting to their new reality, meeting FCG* and the Hells, up to the big battle with Ludinus.

Tracklist plus some B-sides under the cut!

The Grand Experiment - Doomtree - pushing evolution faster, catching continental drift / desperately seeking solutions to problems we know we’ll never fix 

New Cannonball Blues - TV On The Radio - but it was written in blood before they wrote it in stone / so sing it with me like it’s your own

Complicated Creation - Cloud Cult - you know you are as small as the things you let annoy you, and you know you are gigantic as the things that you adore / some days you give thanks, some days you give the finger / it’s a complicated creation

Warsaw - Dessa - I’ve done some living in a glass house / high note blew the motherfucking walls off… and I’m barefaced at your masquerade, filled a flask up before I came

Penn Station - The Felice Brothers - well I died in Penn Station tonight, oh lord

The Future of History - Tropical Fuck Storm - a sky without a world, a shore without a sea / a sun without heat shining light you can’t see

The Crow - Dessa -  anger is just love, left out, gone to vinegar / you wake up a stranger to yourself and then you learn to live with her

Rearrange Beds - An Horse - that bit before you remember / everything you own begins to blend in / two bones that ache with things that you can’t spell

Little Operator* - Nico Vega - little operator voice like therapy / never gonna stare at me / won’t get scared of me

Pots and Pans - The Kills - I can’t find enough love in my heart / let alone in my bones / to keep you standing

1x1x1 - Cloud Cult - you are here to take the punches one by one / you are here to learn your lessons one by one

No Way - Doomtree - we got cracks in our armor, got cracks in the ceiling / and this axe that we’re wielding will react when you’re feeling that crack / attack, attack

Lazerray - TV On the Radio - four thousand years ago, I came back to my senses / swallowed a lazer ray and blew my mind in all directions

Hologram - Tacocat - just remember, if you can, power is a hologram / and every reality every little reality is ripping at the seams

Forces of the Unseen - Cloud Cult - it’s the storm in your eyes, it’s in the roots of the tree / the underestimated power of the forces of the unseen

Let’s be optimistic and say you cannot get enough of this mix… here’s some tracks that were on there at some point but I ended up taking off:

B-sides:

Fresh New Trash - Doomtree (I could have honestly just re-titled the entire No Kings album and had a quality Ashton playlist. If I thought this whole mix would translate as intended this song would be first, to represent Ashton’s time with the Nobodies, and The Grand Experiment would be second to last.  But I was worried this song was a stretch and people would turn the mix off at song 1, so I started with the strongest song instead)

Palace - Dessa (the first two thirds of this song is perfect as track 4, with Warsaw bumped to somewhere around 12-14, but I didn’t think the last third fit Ashton super well)

Little Mercy - Doomtree (one of my favorite Doomtree songs, and also a good pre-Hells song)

Rings - Pinegrove (I draw a line in my life, saying this is the new way I behave now / then actually live by the shape of that sound… This song makes me think of Ashton learning from and bonding with Orym. I couldn’t make it fit tonally but it would be somewhere after 1x1x1)

Wake Up Screaming - Subhumans (I was searching for “Wake Up” by the band Humans and stumbled across this.  It’s pretty perfect for waking up from the big fall, but honestly I don’t enjoy listening to it and I try to keep songs I don’t like off of mixes.  Plus I had too many songs centered around that one moment already)

DLZ - TV On the Radio (this song is great and if I’d found it when I first was building this it would probably be in there, maybe switched out for 1x1x1.  Again with the first two thirds being a good fit.  I wasn’t sold on the last little “dawn of a loser forever” bit)

starting new 08.26.2024

i start grad school tomorrow. i move to a new place for the third time in 5 years on sunday. i decided to make this blog because i have so many thoughts and stories to share that i always intend to write out, but i'm either too lazy to actually physically write them down or avoid writing it on my phone because i think the notes app just looks boring and i don't like typing on that small screen. but, it's 2 am and i had the sudden urge to make a tumblr to resolve this problem. this urge was triggered by me looking back at old "favorited" videos on my youtube channel that i've owned for about 13+ years. looking at content that i was inspired by when i was just an early preteen actually inspired me to get back on tumblr at my current age and start creating and sharing my life in a way that felt rewarding and... aesthetically pleasing to me on here. i also started scrapbooking recently, and have met more people that inspired to me to be more mindful and expressive, which led to me wanting to share on here also. writing in a blog also just seems a lot more intentional and less like i'm forcing my spam account followers to read my trauma dumps or random yaps on ig.

anyways, i start grad school tomorrow. i've been working in my hometown since i graduated from cpp back in the fall. living at home again since covid restrictions were lifted back in 2021 has actually been pretty healing. i liked my work while i was here, and most of the people i met there were actually super cool and made me feel welcome and good about myself. when i was sad, i was able to be so in the comfort of my own home. when i was happy, i was able to hang out with my friends from home within a moment's notice. i also got to save money and feel like my life had somewhat of a structure and destination for about 8 months.

at this point, memories of undergrad are starting to become scattered. i feel like i've lived 20 lives since i graduated high school. over the years, i traveled around all of southern california, and every location is attached to a different memory. some with friends, some with family, some with ex-lovers. they all signal a mix of emotions, mostly nostalgic and bittersweet. i spent the weekend in oc where i'm set to move, and on saturday i visited csuf for the first time. it was refreshing to be on a campus that wasn't cpp's ngl. but when i left the campus i ended up in the costa mesa area at ikea. the only time i had been to that ikea was on a date with a guy i used to see. it was actually a pretty funny memory, and was one of many positive memories with that person. after that, i drove my friend back to his place. on the way there, i passed the santa ana observatory. i saw tv girl back in fall of 2021 there with my ex. i had gotten the tickets for him as a gift, and as a little celebration for us since he was visiting home for the first time since moving. he moved all the way up north, and things were immediately very difficult for us once he left. i remember the concert finally feeling like a relief from the stress and anxiety of the distance. passing by the venue again felt bittersweet. sunday i went to the irvine spectrum center with my mom. i've been there many times over the years, but i remember the first time going there i went with my friend lisa, her boyfriend at the time, and their friend anthony. i was 18 at the time, and it was my first summer where i was actually allowed out of town to go to other cities with my friends. i remember going to all these new places during this summer, right before i was about to move out alone for the first time in the fall, and feeling like my life was finally starting.

walking around that mall and being revisited by that first memory there and how i felt seemed somewhat melancholic. if you had told me half the things that have happened since that time i wouldn't have believed you. but it was lk symbolic in my hyperactive mind that i was there again right before moving and attending a new school. despite whatever may have happened between the first time i went to that mall and now, i feel like i have to be grateful for the memories and experiences that ended up shaping me and bringing me to where i am today. i'm hoping to enter this new stage of my life with the same resiliency that i've shown in the past. the past two years have been so indescribably difficult. at times i feel like i just suffered in silence. but i feel more confident finally feeling that there is at least a small part of me that is slowly feeling like myself again and just happy to be alive, happy to have loved and to be loved.

i hope to update this blog often, and if you read all of this then i hope you have a good day :)
