I never understood the true meaning of a guilty pleasure till I found this god forsaken fucking song 💀

It's catchy & that's why I like it but god it's so. fucking. bad. 💀

I am 90% sure it's AI, but just cause the inflection I'm assuming it's meant to be satire? & I personally interpret it as satire; and as satire I find it hilarious.

I don't hate men, I partally am man

I don't endorse cocain or other hard drugs- just wanted to mention that I guess??

And there's a whole album of these, 1 of them is "Notes App Girls" 💀 (also bad but catchy 😂) and DEAR GOD HOW DID I FORGET "TWINK BEST FRIEND FOREVER" 😭😭😭

"Notes app girls do a sparkle slay ✨️✨️"- Notes App Girls.

"Every girl needs: her gay best friend 😋! A girl & her twink until the end 🥰"- Twink BFF... that sure is something... idk what it is but it's surely ~something~!

"I love doing cocaine with my friends, it's a coked up friend adventure ✌️🤩"- Coked Up Friend Adventure.❓️❓️❓️❓️❓️ H W I Y (why)

"Ever since I was a little girl I always knew I wanted to kill myself 🥰"- Girls Like Me. I mean- mood fr 😎👉👉, (not even joking my childhood was shit at some points lmao 💀) but also GOD THIS SONG IS SO FUCKING ASS BUT I LOVE IT 😂

I think it's the contrast of the instrumental vs the lyrics vs the inflection in her "voice"(?... Again, I think it's AI)

I hate it SO MUCH. but I also love it in an extremely twisted horrible way that I dispise is even physically possible

This specific wheezing gif feels apeopriate lol

The Mark by @hellostuffedtiger

Obsidian Order Agent, Garak's, latest assignment: surveil Doctor Julian Bashir, the Federation medical delegation’s lead doctor who’s been living on Cardassia, trying to find a cure for a deadly Cardassian illness. Tain wants damaging intel on Julian and he's counting on Garak to get it. If surveillance doesn’t work, he may always use interrogation.

I always appreciate when writers take the Soviet Union as inspiration for the Cardassian Union, and this one takes that concept and runs with it. Cold war vibes in desert weather. Spies commuting, clocking in, and talking shit. The characters we know are all one step away from how we know them in canon, because this is how they would be if their circumstances were ever so slightly different. I'm particularly fond of Garak's Tain-generation coworker. I based this cover on a few different Le Carré covers.

i appreciate every single person who is suggesting other bands to listen to that are similar to lovejoy btw. sending all the hearts your way

Cyn's Top 10 Kpop Songs of 2023

Yes I know this is late but it's still January so who cares. I'm limiting this to korean title tracks and prerelease singles. Perhaps I'II make one for my favorite b-sides later. Alright lets go!

10. Lit by Stayc - I'll admit this one is kind of a sneak. I didn't even really get this song until this month. When I got it though I got it HARD. I think I listened to it on repeat for an hour straight. Do I actually think it's better than Teddy Bear and Bubble? Maybe not but I do think I like it the most. It's so brain scratchy!

9. Rising by TripleS - What a great song to be the group's official debut! I can really tell that they're Loona's little sister group in this song. Not that it sounds exactly like a Loona song but it has all these little moments where I can hear it. Probably because its a jaden jeong + monotree joint. Anyway it's a really good song and the chorus hits hard.

8. Perfume by NCT Dojaejung - My sister described this as a strut song which is so accurate. This song makes you feel like THAT BITCH. It's super smooth and sexy and really really good. Interesting vibe from NCT (That being said l'm a sticker defender so believe me I have nothing against the NCT sound)

7. Air Force One by Odd Eye Circle - The return of oec fully rocked my world. I was ranting and raving about the loonaverse implications of this song / mv / mini album for days. It's also just a really cool song! Daradaradadada~

6. Giddy by Kep1er - my babies!! Their best title track since Wadada. Also the dance is adorable. I immediately taught myself the chorus choreo. I'm incredibly biased towards these girls so I was tempted to put this higher but I held myself back.

5. Zero by New Jeans - Now I know what you're thinking, "Why tf is that your new jeans entry?" and "That's literally a coca cola ad. What's wrong with you?" This is my list though and Zero was legitimately my top kpop song on my spotify wrapped. I listened to it an ungodly number of times. It has like a weird hypnotic effect on me so I listen to it while I study.

4. Kick It 4 Now by The New Six - My top boy group jam of the year. Again shout out to my bg stan sister to putting me onto this. She truly keeps me in the loop in that regard. Pure happiness in a song it's SOOO FUN!

3. Queencard by (G)I-dle - Must every song be deep? Can't we all just have a silly girly time? My boob and booty hot!! In all seriousness though I think Jeon Soyeon is a genius. Ya'll might think her lyrics are weird but you just don't understand her like me. This is the song on this list that I think will have the most lasting impact. We'll all be looking back fondly on Queencard.

2. Underwater by Chuu - Underwater feels like a breath of fresh air to listen to. This song is so comforting; Chuu's voice is like a hug. It for real makes me emotional. It's so Taeyeon coded which is an incredibly good thing in my book.

1. Unforgiven by Lesserafim - This was my anthem of the year no question. I don't know if Lesserafim will ever be able to top this. It's just flawless. Potentially my favorite kpop album of the year all together too. Idec that half of it is songs we've already heard. I love having greatest hits in one place and Lesserafim's greatest hits are really good!

A Bunch of Honorable Mentions: In Bloom by ZB1 (just barely missed the list. They're the boys to watch right now), Madeline by Limelight, Memories by Riize, We Are Young by Tri.be, I Am by IVE (another close one), Bubble by Stayc, Invincible and Girls Capitalism by Triple S (they had a great year), OMG by New Jeans, Bite Me by Enhypen (I actually went to a kpop dance class where we learned this choreo), Fighting by BSS, One and Only by Boynextdoor (naturally snatch-ed!!), Bad News by Kiss of Life

elle's January 2023 rec list

So I just thought this year I would try to do a little something fun and rec things I enjoyed throughout the month, and by things I mean pretty much anything that come to my mind (so like, books, shows, music, food, etc)

It, of course, won't be an exhaustive list of everything i've consumed, just the things that stood out for a reason or another

Books

The Half Life of Valery K by Natasha Pulley

In 2022, I started reading through Natasha Pulley's books and I really enjoy her writing style. Without going into details, even my least favourite book of hers, it wasn't anything she could have changed because it had to do with me being so picky with time-travelling stuff.

Anyway, The Half Life of Valery K is easily my second favourite. I liked it so much that even though I had borrowed it from my public library in December and really should have finished way before January started, mid-way through I just went "you know what? nah, i'm keeping the second half for later, I don't want to be done with this yet"

I just really love the way she builds up relationships and how diverse her characters are and how everyone had flaws and good sides and it's not just black and white thinking. Also, this one didn't, but the other books usually have a little element of like urban fantasy/sci-fi (i'm saying sci-fi because time travelling) in them, and i seriously love when there are stories that are based on real life but with a little add-on.

August Kitko and the Mechas from Space by Alex White

So, even tho I love sci-fi, I don't actually read all that much of it? I just gravitate towards fantasy more often then not or romantic stuff with a fantastic elements in it.

I sure am glad I decided to check that book out though because damn it's good :D

I really enjoyed the alternating POVs between the two main characters and while I am usually a "no, let the relationship develop slowly" kinda gal, in the context of the plot, even if it was rushed I was left with a "yeah, no that checks out, none of it is happening 'too fast'". Because even tho I do love romance, when it's not fanfiction, I have some difficulties enjoying a book when like within a day of meeting each other for the first they already want to get married. (I am not saying this is what is happening in this book, because it's not)

Also I really love the fact that the people at the center of the book and controlling the mechas were all musicians? And not like soldiers or revolution fighters by trade or something like this. That felt very refreshing! (But then again, like i said, i rarely reads sci-fi, so maybe it's more usual than i think XD)

I really enjoyed reading a book where one of the main character was non-binary. Most of the books I read are queer-flavored in one way or another, but it's one of the first where there was a non-binary main character and it made me want to find more books with characters that are not just gay.

Honorable mention:

In Deeper Waters by F.T Lukens.

It's not the first book by Lukens I read and it won't be the last. Did the book left me raving at everyone that they should read it? No. Was it still very enjoyable? Yes.

I don't think it was doing anything new, but it was still a fun read! And one that was... I want to say "easy"? As in it's for a younger target audience than my 31 yo ass, so I just got through the book in two days no trouble. Which you know, sometimes you just want some quick no-brainer fairy tale romance and this delivered.

And I say no-brainer, but I shouldn't because there was still a bit of intrigue and mystery in it, that even if I had no trouble seeing through didn't leave me going "COME IT'S OBVIOUS" at the characters. And it's not like the intrigue and mystery was the purpose of the book either.

TV Show

The Last of Us

I won't go into details because well, you probably know them already.

I will just say that 75% of the reason I started watching/wanted to watch it was because of Pedro Pascal because I quite like him as an actor. And that 50% of why I am really enjoying the show is because Pedro Pascal is 200% dilf in it. I am not ashamed to say it and it's not like I'm the first one to say it, far from it.

Also so far, besides Pedro Pascal, my favourite things are the opening scenes of each episode. They add some layers to the whole show I feel like.

Music

Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God) by Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox and Sweet Megg

So like a lot of people, I was done with hearing Running Up That Hill and it's 2 billion covers. But I usually like Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox covers so I gave it a listen, put it in my winter 2023 playlist and then forgot about it.

Until last week when I ended up on it again and just have been listening to it on repeat since. I just really love the tempo of it, the piano and saxophone.

Dixie by Harmonium

This one is an oldie but oh so fucking good~

So Harmonium is a Québécois band from the 70s with wonderful music (highly recommend the album Les Cinq Saisons, it's on spotify) and Dixie is just so fun to listen to.

I went to see a concert with my parents mid-january where they did orchestral arrangement of the band's music and it was just all so good.

Food

Lemon coco cake

Not the first time I made it and it sure won't be the last :)

I love the texture of the cake and also how easy and quick it is to make

Recipe (i'm translating the original here because I am nice)

Ingredients:

2 eggs

1/2 cup of sugar

1/3 cup of melted butter

1 ¼ cup of self-rising cake flour (i mean, all purposed flour also work because i know i don't always have cake flour on hand)

200 ml of coconut milk

2 lemons

Make sure you have a cake mold of about 24cm/9.5inches diameter too

Pre-heat the oven at 350F In a large bowl, mix the eggs and the sugar. Add the melted butter then the flour and mix well. Once everything is mixed well add the coconut milk and mix again. Then add the zest and juice from the lemons and (guess what) mix again.

Pour into the cake mould and place in the oven for about 25 min.*

*The recipe says 25 minutes, but everywhere i have made this cake it was at least 30-35 minutes. Just (carefully) stick a knife or one of those long wooden stick in it and make sure it's coming out dry.

According to the recipe book, it makes for six portions. According to me it make for 4 to 6 portions depending on how much you end up liking the cake and how much willpower you have that day.

what music would abe and orc listen to? i feel like abe would like emo rock and orc would like the parts before the songs where the bands are tuning their instruments

You've got the gist of it down.

Orc comes from a smaller village community that holds a lot of long standing traditions, so he really likes the more authentic and raw sounding stuff. Think vocals and percussion and simple wind or string instruments.

Abe on the other hand is from the capital of the developed continent and was super angsty. He likes things that sound modern and rebellious, and probably listens to music that honestly sounds shit but he digs it cause it's an artistic dig at the man or whatever.

Speaking more broadly, there's an overlap between them in the sense that a modern take on more traditional sounds go well together, just like Abe and Orc as people go well together. I have a playlist [ youtube / spotify ] that I LOVE listening to when I'm thinking about them cause it has the right vibe (but kinda in a soundtrack sense and not necessarily diegetic)

⚠ Flashing lights warning

Translation here

(Just for tonight, I wanted to cut loose and have a good time Hey, where did my midsummer go? Hey, are we going home just like that...?) The perfume scent I worked up the courage to wear vanished Beneath the smell of gunpowder smoke from the fireworks I want to grow closer, but Your friends are there; I hate summer The night breeze cools down the excess heat Waves of people flow toward the station I want to gently touch you, but I'm sweaty, so I hate summer Ah, the flow of your conversation with her Leaves absolutely no gaps for me to cut in None at all Hey, to tell the truth... I don't want to go home like this, no, no! Just for tonight, I wanted to cut loose and have a good time— My earnest heart's seriousness got in the way! Just for tonight, I wanted to cut loose and have a good time— That was what should have slipped from my mouth Just for tonight, just for tonight... I don't want to make the kind of memories That I can talk about with everyone. When I get asked "What's wrong?" I just smile; I hate myself for that Ah, at the traffic circle where love is in the air One by one we part, bye-bye Hey, is this the best I've got? No, no! If I could make selfish requests just for tonight I want you and I to gaze into each other's eyes If I could make selfish requests just for tonight I don't need to gaze at the starry sky Just for tonight, I wanted to cut loose and have a good time– I kept it buried deep inside my heart Just for tonight, I wanted to cut loose and have a good time– I was supposed to let my feelings show Just for tonight, just for tonight... The reason I didn't wear a summer kimono...! And my hair pricking away at my eyelids...! What should I do to be able to shine?! I want to cry!! You've got to notice me, no, no! Just for tonight, just for tonight..! (Just for tonight, just for tonight) No, it's nothing... Goodbye.

girlfriend!abby 💫

⋆✦⋆ she always buys you flowers because she thinks it’s a perfect way to show you how much she loves you!!! and she likes going to antique stores to find vases with cool patterns and buying them for you.

⋆✦⋆ every last one of her pennies will be spent on you. no matter how much you protest, she looooves to spoil you and nothing makes her happier than the look on your face when she gets you a surprise gift.

⋆✦⋆ i know i already wrote about this but she loves cuddling you before going to the gym early in the morning. sometimes she’ll get a little bit carried away and smother sleepy kisses all over your face and accidentally wake you up :((( she apologizes so many times but that’s one of your favorite ways to wake up!!!

⋆✦⋆ she likes to wear your clothes because it reminds her of you. especially if you’re a masc too, you’ll never get your clothes back, sorry!! they’re hers now.

⋆✦⋆ some of the pet names she calls you are honey, sweet girl, and babe. but she also frequently calls you dude and bro just to piss you off.

⋆✦⋆ there’s always a book on her nightstand!!! she likes to read before bed or when she wants some time away from her phone. if you ask her for book recs she could write you a whole list of the best books she’s read and an in depth rating without spoilers.

⋆✦⋆ most of the furniture in her house/apartment was built or put together by her, including the bookshelf. she could sit on the floor for hours putting together an ikea coffee table while occasionally stopping to watch whatever music video was playing on the tv.

⋆✦⋆ her gym routine is very specific!!! she has designated days for legs, arms, full body, and two rest days a week. and she makes sure she eats 3 meals a day and a snack, drinks enough water, and gets enough rest.

⋆✦⋆ taking care of herself is super important, but she also loves taking care of you. knowing that she can keep you safe and happy makes her feel so proud!!! and whenever she has a rest day, she’ll spend the whole day cuddling you, cooking for you, doing skincare together, etc. she’s such a sweet gf :((

⋆✦⋆ she loves roadtrips!!!! just driving a few hours out of town to go exploring, she’ll bring her camera and take sooo many pictures of you to get developed later. and she’ll go with you to every shop you want to and she’ll buy you anything you look at!!

⋆✦⋆ lowkey she’s kind of a clean freak. growing up with jerry she was taught how to wash her hands like real doctors do, how to thoroughly clean and disinfect a space, how organization can impact your mood, all that jazz. she gets a lot of her traits from her dad actually, it’s so adorable.

⋆✦⋆ i’m convinced she’s the type of girl to take an edible and then clean the whole house because she suddenly felt super productive. you’ll come home to her cleaning, shirtless because she got too warm, with her music playing. and then she’ll fall asleep right on top of you. <33

⋆✦⋆ taking you to meet jerry would be super fun!! he’s such a sweet guy, and the love he has for his daughter is so adorable. he’s definitely the type of dad to go through an entire photo album of baby/kid/teen abby the first time you meet him.

⋆✦⋆ once she asks you to move in (after only like 6 months of dating) she loves to decorate the space with stuff that represents the two of you. she probably has a pride flag hanging in a window, and she has a hook for her carabiner right next to the door.

⋆✦⋆ she’s super close with her friends!! she’d love to take you on a double date with the two of you, manny, and whoever he was currently seeing. and you can count on her to always show up to leah and jordan’s shitty parties, even though they always end up super boring.

⋆✦⋆ she loves lazy sunday mornings when she gets to cling onto you the whole day and never let you go. she’ll hold you in bed, in the shower, on the couch, in the kitchen, on the porch, in the middle of the grocery store, anywhere!!! she just can’t get enough of you!! ;)
