#the chamaleon x you

[marsmaximoff]

🎄; 25th of december ❄︎⋆˚⊹☃︎

content warning: fem!reader. pure fluff. many curses. reader is 20 and calls him “dym” as a short name, he calls her “love, darling and my love”. they’re dating. let me know if i missed something.

word count: 732 ❣️

author’s note: i wasn’t planning on posting anything for Christmas, but i got this idea and i had to write it. so, i apologize if the quality is not that good, as i usually spend days on my writings while this was all done on a matter of hours. also, english is my third language, so i’m sorry for the mistakes. constructive criticism is welcomed as always. thank you so much for the support on my last post, and merry christmas everybody! 🤍 happy hanukkah, kwanzaa, diwali or any other celebrations too 🫶🏻 and if you don’t celebrate anything, have a happy end of the year ✨ p.s.: god im in love with dmitri and almost no one is posting anything, i’ll probably post more of him. anyways, enjoy!! <3

the silk grazes my fingertips as i stretch my arm. i tentatively palm the bed looking for some warmth, for him. but the sheets and pillows are the only things left around me.

the screen of my phone clears up as i blink. 11:28 a.m. with a bit more of focus, the notifications slowly reveal themselves and my eyes travel through them searching for his name. nothing. he’d have texted me if something had requested his presence back at the office. although, he couldn’t have business to deal with on Christmas, right? not this soon, at least.

the pearly white snow greets me through the window making me stand up with a smile. how gorgeous. i make my way to the kitchen to grab something to drink while knotting my robe, and the shiny decor welcomes me effusively. i don’t realize at first, but a big and unfamiliar shadow catches my attention from the corner of my eye while i open the carton of juice.

“holy fuck. dym?”

our christmas tree, stunning as always, lays now almost drowned in presents. in fact, the stack is such, that i can’t even make out the floor for a good four-five steps. some light chuckles behind my back fill the room with the warmth i’ve been craving since i woke up. “beautiful, isn’t it?”

i turn around to dmitri sitting on the couch, staring at me with a huge grin. as if that number of gifts was the most normal sight in the world. “what the hell?” “you’ve had me waiting, darling. did you sleep good?” he asks affectionately.

“what are you, on your Santa Claus era?” i say looking at the presents again. he grants me that laugh that i adore so much as i try to give them a quick count, but after the twentieth, it starts to feel simply bonkers. they’re not even small ‘little treats’, oh no. there’s large boxes and bags everywhere.

“seriously, are you giving gifts to your whole fucking building? or is every one of your men getting one?”

“wrong. and. wrong” he says proudly, and once he’s in front of me, he just smiles. there are obvious love and joy in his eyes, which sends a cute fluttery feeling to my heart. “dmitri-“ his lips seal my words with a gentle kiss. “merry christmas, love”. a sparkle makes space on his gaze that could so easily compete with the star of the tree itself. wait. oh. oh. there’s no way.

his hands take mine and softly walk me towards the swimming pool of gifts. then, he sits close by and points at them with his head. “come on, darling. you’ve had me feeling all impatient”. he looks so excited. so cheerful. but i can’t help the slight guilt that takes over me. “dym, you’re crazy. tell me these are not only for me. you can’t- god do you even have an idea of how many there are?!” “40”. he doesn’t even take a single second to think about it. seriously, what the actual fuck? “two for every christmas i couldn’t spoil you in” this has to be a damn dream. “we’ve been friends since school!” i say grinning. “but we weren’t dating. so it doesn’t count. i wanted to make it special.” “you really didn’t have to” i refute. “i wanted to. please don’t make me wait anymore i need to see your reactions”. with a final glance, i turn around and grab the first one. “ohhh you’ll love that one!”

how can he be so cute? he wasn’t wrong, tho. it was a special edition of one of my favorite books. during the next hours, i go one by one, filling the room with gasps, yells, curses and many “oh my good”s and “thank you so much”s.

by the end of it, i’ve got clothes, books, headphones, plushies, a phone, jewelry, plane tickets, merchandising, signed stuff from famous people i love, and the cherry on top; a new car.

“you are mad. i love you so much but you’re mad” i say hugging him still shocked. “madly in love with you, you mean” he answers pulling back. “you liked them, then?” “loved them” he gives me another kiss, longer this time. “good. merry christmas, my love. i love you” he adds.

he can only hope i’ll love the ring just as much.

[bad4amficideas]

heyyyyy are you willing to write some platonic hcs about the justice league interacting with reader of Earth 1T8? Anyways sending good vibes :D

I can make a try anon dearie!!! that's what this blog is about after all... platonic is difficult

Note: English is not my language, so I hope you will be understanding of any flaws you find.

BTW In Earth 1T8 the Justice League members are Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Zatanna? and Cyborg... I might put Zatanna, Constantine, Madame Xannadu, Deadman & maybe Enchantress and Dr. Fate? in JLD with Zatanna as mediator. And the only thing that differs from those in the other world is that they have never worked with Batman and that except for Wonder Woman, no one has investigated them.

BUT I'M WRITING ONLY THE live action MOVIE CHARAS ONES HERE 'CAUSE SO MUCH chara WRITING end me in a RIGMAROLE.

It would be difficult for most of them not to go platonic yandere for a furry WITHOUT powers who is dedicated to trying to save the world.

("Barry!" "no Barry! me, you get me, then, THEN" "I'm the young one with Internet symbiosis, do not argue" "I... don't think I want to know" "Aquaman the Platypus!!!"... "WTF")... edit: I actually like this idea lots, maybe abother universe made a cameo but i idk, cheetah or mustela-Flash, chamaleon MM...)

I think in cases like Superman and Wonder Woman, even Cyborg, it would be easier for you to meet them by their alter ego and in your normal form. An interview, donations to museums or Star laboratories or scholarships, etc.

Okay, here's one thing that has always confused me, unless Batman's cowl also has lead, and having Superman super senses and such. I mean, being a journalist with two fingers for a forehead, it shouldn't be easy -and by that I mean AUTOMATIC- to find out who the Bat is with a little x-ray??, even if it was accidentally ?? peripheral vision and stuff. The smell?? I could tell who has woken up in my house by how they go down the stairs??? Even if he doesn't connect the dots because doesn't want or refuse look at your face, it's seeing the broken bones in civil form, even without knowing about the famous Wayne.

And, lets says he gets an interview with you and sees that, well shit, actually, whether you have a good reputation or not, you are a good person he can see and hear it (but, wtf with these wounds)? You condemned yourself. And in addition to his normal job, he's suddenly the Daily Planet in charge of everything related to you and your alter ego. Literally every invitation to the most important newspapers, he always comes as the Daily Planet representative. AND NOBODY SAYS ANYTHING because half of the Daily Planet doesn't want to get into the gossips of a billionaire or the follies of a Bat in a fucking crazy city. And he just wants to see Y/N, not the Bat, not the Wayne, because each time whe gets a glimp of them it's like coming home from a long journey. And that's Clark Kent's excuse to start seeing you and befriending you to the point where you don't have time to go batcrazy doing it because, hey, you have Superman as a guest at home. AGAIN. But your whole family is conspiring with him, whether they know identities or not, and everyone is saying "sush, if they know you're normal, they won't let you do batbarities." And now Superman suddenly patrols like 1/2 America including Gotham but only by chance of course and thank goodness that the Batcave DOES have lead.

Our Bat, here manipulator-founder of the JLA, ofc would have managed be the one to get Wonder Woman/ Diana to go from being a curator of the Louvre to the Smithsonian (what better than an expert who has lived through it), and she would have ended up discovering Y/N Wayne and their alter ego Bat sooner or later from there, I mean, although she sees this situation as a gift to the world, how big the heart of Reader! (a baby!!)but she won't be anyone else's pawn again, so, why found the JL?? (apart from psychopaths trying to destroy the world ... and that) And well. How not to go yandere to such a good person? AND like a CRAZY one???? The madmen in your city are one thing because -almost- all are human and you're an overprepared normal human, but aliens, wizards? you should stay close to someone -her- who is up to beat those subjects. Uuuuuuhhhhh!!! she's momming on you dearie!!! at amazonian style if you're a girl ofc!!

Victor, Victor, Victor. Cyborg. You could have met him at one of the friendly competitions between Universities to which they always invite you because donating large amounts et all, or by his father and having donated to his laboratories. But also I think that for the madness that his father did, he would need extra funds, Reader would give them, and make suggestions having already dealt with Dr. Stone before and knowing how things were going to go for Cyborg. And sooner or later he would see that through some old camera recordings and so then he would have noticed you, a stranger who genuinely cared for him while -obviously- you scold his father for being a work freak.

Whoever, what a bitch he can be under the due circumstances, he will use everything you have -except your own body I guess- against you. And soon like, you are screwed, an open book to him. Good thing he's a mostly a broody gentleman. If, ironically, Cyborg's problem is that he could get lost in his technology, with you and your mania for monitoring everything (and, sorry to remind you, being monitored by everyone), you would give him the balance he needs between humanity and technology. Kinda a big sibling relationship.

Well, in a universe minimally similar to that of the movies, if you don't have something to do with helping Flash find the job he wants. YOU'RE A BAD READER!, DISHONOR IN YOU AND DISHONOR IN BATCOW! As a charitable soul, giving scholarships, encouraging improvements in the justice and health system not only in Gotham because I'm sorry to say this to you dearies but you USAmerican Health System is a BigShitTM, Barry already idolized your civil persona a bit. If he found out that you are Bat it could be playing forensic while expending energy running from end to end of the states and training. And that would seem mind-boggling to him and a dead end. He would be the stalker type with a bunch of pictures of you but, like Cyborg, he would know better than to approach you. Passing by Gotham when he hears that there are particularly rare/difficult cases.

Aquaman, this one it very difficult for me to see as platonic I confess. As if any of the above has sounded platonic at all. But I think he'd see you as a badass little sibling. But of those that while you threaten someone with a dagger he's behind you with a buster sword. At first he will be like: There is a human, a normal one, dressed as a bat, kicking butts in the middle of the night in a city overpopulated by weirdos?? Give me some popcorn. I'm gonna see it. That's Arthur. Afterward, well, anyone with a heart can only see a person fall and get up a specified number of times before they earn your reluctant respect, admiration, concern, and exasperation. And although Arthur tries to pretend that nothing matters to him, his heart is as big as his dominions.

He would approach you as Aquaman, because as the Bat is how he met you. Knowing your civil persona would amuse or irritate him because is so fucking fake (it's on you if your facade is flirt and sex with everything that moves, rich in drugs, tired parent, rich egocentric who donates to deduct taxes, rich stupid who believes that the world can turn rainbows with money and good intentions). And he would offer his help and ask for yours ("I know there are some oil dealers but no matter how much I clean up their shit if things on earth are not fixed, etc...") until between missions and such you would end up developing a dynamic of siblings. I don't think he realizes that maybe he's a slightly overprotective brother at times, because, like almost everyone except Superman, he lets you keep kicking butts (although he is by far the most relax with you doing that)

Now nobody of you is surprised that Earth 1T8 is better than the original world, or you are???? Hahahahaha.

[beevean]

while we're on the topic wanna give some ratings as well to X1?

Story: 6.5/10. In the intro it has some very interesting worldbuilding in the form of what kind of machine X is and how he influenced technology all around the world... but the plot itself is a simple affair of "villain wants to do villain stuff, get strong enough to stop him!".

Graphics: 8/10. Very pleasing to the eye! The Mavericks have nice animations and the backgrounds are lovingly detailed. I especially liked Launch Octopus' stage (that teal sea <3), Armored Armadillo's (the tunnel with a light at the end!) and Storm Eagle (great sense of altitude)

Music: 10/10. I think I made my thoughts clear on the sheer amount of bangers :P

Level design: 9/10. The gimmicks are so cool! I once again have to praise Armored Armadillo, but Storm Eagle is iconic for a reason - what an entrance to the boss arena! Sting Chameleon's armor ride? Yes please! Exploring these levels is also really fun, with only a couple annoying powerups :P I'm a little less convinced by the enemy placement - in the normal stages they're relatively sparse, but take advantage of how easily they respawn if you so much move an inch, while the Sigma stages just unload tons of crap towards you :P

Controls: 9/10. Nothing much to say here. It took me a while to get used to the dash, and even more to the wall dash jump, but it's fun and I wouldn't change a thing about how X moves:)

Bosses: 8/10. They're good! Some very easy to cheese, though (rip spark mandrill). I like how you can make them easier by using different weapons, like cutting off Launch Octopus' tentacles with the Boomerang Cutter so that he won't create whirlwinds. Less convinced by the Sigma bosses, especially that stupid spider.

Subweapons: 8.5/10. I haven't experimented with all Charged weapons, that's for next time (once you try Charged Chamaleon Sting you don't go back), but I liked using the regular version of them in the levels. Especially Electric Spark for how it travels along the walls, and Boomerang Cutter for its retreiving property.

Difficulty: 7/10. For being a Megaman game, it's pretty easy and short. You can tell this was a new generation of games :P some bosses gave me trouble (Sigma...), but the stages themselves were a cruise.

Replayability value: 9/10. The simple fun of each level, the backtracking aspect of collecting powerups, and the levels affecting each other push you to try again to find the most balanced order and speed through these zones. Me gusta :D

I'm a big boy: I'M A MEGAMAN NOW./10

lil reminders i have for my fellow followers who like to remind me that my stella differs from canon:

i hate most of canon. there's no nice way to say it but after s3 rainbow gave up on stella and i give up on them. this blog is mostly based on metas and introspections i write and that are usually linked to main events in the s1-sotlk timeline.

i have tons of npcs. rainbow makes it look like the girls have no friendships outside the WC and know nobody else beside the specialists and it's just stupid. my stella will also reference to some ocs from other muns with whom i have created background stories.

my stella likes fashion but her life doesn't end with it. she's a chamaleon, she likes a lot of stuff, she has tons of other interests. that ugly flanderization she got after s3 doesn't exist here.

this is a kids show, but it's undeniable that the girls went through a lot of trauma. i won't pretend everything is fine, because stella's been deeply affected by the things that happened to her. healing and therapy are also things we love in this household.

stella is a good person, but the black and white way of thinking the creators want to impose throughout the episodes is just wrong for her. she might be the fairy of light, but she's a morally gray character, and especially in the comics we see a lot of that. while in winx universe she gets reprimended for that, i will have none of it. sometimes her decisions won't meet everybody's agreement, but that's who she is.

i will not downplay stella as the hot blonde with no brain, especially because she is actually very smart and says/makes a lot of smart things throughout the show. yes, sometimes she understimates stuff and consequences, but she's not stupid for thinking outside the box.

i don't agree with WoW creative decisions and don't even condone it, some of that stuff should legit be burned and done again... but i do like the general plot and stella's powers, so at times those will get a mention or two in my metas or threads.

i love aus and stuff, that's why i have 300 verses for stella and more to add. her core essence will be the same, but i like to explore how a person like her would do in that X enviroment, so please don't come anonynously on my asks to tell me she's ooc in my las thread because 1) is weird and 2) it's a human verse karen, leaning on magic doesn't apply here.

in her main verse stella is around 23/24. no, she's not aged up because as of s8 that's what she should be, sort of. if we want to even be more specific she shoukd be 33 given that she was 17 in 2004. either ways, if you've read my rules you know i don't write smut, although having an headcanon on her sexuality ( because stella is bisexual and rainbow can pry it from my cold dead hands )

AWA Life Report and Feedback wanted.

More items to raffle off

More Gacha Items

A Fan meet event where you can interact with the band more, play games, buy cheki with the members, hear acoustic versions of songs, etc.

Back Stage look, being able to be present for soundcheck and practice.

International FanClub, right now the idea is for a digital version only as most of the current Fanclub perks outside of tickets and store times are digital already.

International shipping for the LM.C Store.

If you have anything you’d like to contribute, please let us know! This is your chance.

Now onto AWA report!

Fake Star presented LM.C for the second time in a row at this year’s Anime Weekend Atlanta.

The event marked LM.C’s third performance in a row in the U.S. It also marked the first-ever offering of VIP badges for LM.C events. Perks included Early access to all LM.C events and up to 2 photoshoots with LM.C, one of which was with the MAD LM.C. This marks the first appeared of MAD LM.C since well…they were first introduced.

The Mad LM.C Photoshoot took place on Thursday, Halloween, and the General photoshoot took place on Saturday the second. The fans came together to create a flower board display for LM.C and bouquets.

Previously, photoshoots had only ever been offered to members of Team LM.C in Japan.  The concert was great, the setlist included: Ghost Heart, Oh My Juliet, Funny Phantom, Double Dragon, Hoshi no Arika, 88, Boys and Girls, Chamaleon Dance, Rock the LM.C, We are LM.C Anthem, Chaindreamers, the Buddha, & Punky Heart.

Surprisingly, only one song (Chaindreamers) from the latest album, Future Sensation, was played, but the audience was enthralled none the less. LM.C came out full force in all their glory as this picture below so famously immortalized.

The show started with a little bit of a hitch, as there was a sound malfunction, forcing the band to stop during the first song. While the issue was being resolved Maya engaged in some light banter with concert-goers. He asked who spoke multiple languages and informed the audience that he spoke two languages, Japanese and Japan-English. He also asked the audience about some new words he’d learned, “Lit” and Yeet.” He seemed to get what “Lit” meant and had no trouble saying. “Yeet,” however, gave our king some trouble. He attempted to pronounce it, the result was “Why-Eeeet?” Despite help from the crowd, I am unsure if he really got it.

He also enquired about the blue Powerade beverage he’d been provided with. He asked if the drink was safe and why it was blue. The audience responded with a mixture of Yes, No, and Maybe. He only took one sip of it the entire concert, so we can presume, he was not a fan. In fairness, this is probably a good idea when drinking something that looks suspiciously like window-cleaner.

During this banter, Aiji disappeared off stage to presumably help with adjustments. This prompted Maya to ask, “Where is my Guitarist, where is my man?”

Finally, the show restarted, none of the excitement or energy before the malfunction had been lost. One of the high points of the show was when 88 was performed. The crowd had been given glow sticks with lyric an instruction cards before the show to sing along with Maya when the song started. It worked with resounding success, Maya even got a little choked up. Throughout the concert there was more banter from Maya culminating in everyone’s favorite translator, Ryan, being summoned to the stage, along with a phrased cried out from an audience member that will live in infamy, “Ryan is Daddy!”

Maya asked what that meant, but a mortified Ryan said he’d tell him later. We don’t know if he ever did. This show had more effects than the 2 previous concerts, complete with the lyrics displayed so the audience could sing along. In the past, many have struggled to do this.

The show concluded with Maya making jokes with the cameraman, asking if he was cold in the Cheerleader outfit he was wearing. Pictures were taken, and the band was taken back when the lights came on and they were able to see just how many people came to their show, they were truly impressed.

Throughout the weekend, special GACHA packs were sold, some contained blue tickets which would grant the holder access to a special signing where you could have anything signed and it would be personalized. Those who got multiple tickets were very generous and gave their extras to those who got nothing. It was great to see fan-base come together and help each other and ensure that more people had the opportunity to have a wonderful time with LM.C.

The Final LM.C event was Sunday with the raffle and Q&A Panel.

Here are the questions in no particular order:

What’s your favorite LM.C look?Aiji said he likes loose clothing that’s easy to move around in, therefore the Track Suit from JOHN was his favorite. Maya said the current outfit [see above] was his favorite, followed by the costume for “Let Me Crazy!!”

What’s your favorite song to perform?

Aiji said anything upbeat, like Chameleon Dance, while Maya said he likes to perform the songs that have appeared in Anime as those are the ones that American audiences get into the most.

What song of theirs that doesn’t have a video would they want to make a video for?

Maya asked the audience if they were familiar with a manga called “Kingdom,” which is a fictionalized retelling of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from Chinese history. He said the song “Dystopia” was based on that Manga, and he wanted to do a really big expensive video for it.

Aiji said he would like to do more videos for their slower songs, specifically “Twinkle Star,” he too would want it to be expensive with lots of special effects.

What does the name LM.C mean?

Maya said that before their debut, they already owned the domain [Lovely-Mocochang.com] and that the band name came from that. {LM} stands for “Lovely-Mocochang,” {.} stands for “dot,” and {C} stands from “com”.

Of course, the name also comes from a dog Maya once owned, “Moco.”

What are their favorite childhood memories?

Maya said his favorite memory was of watching a historical drama with this grandmother when he was young.

Aiji said his favorite memory was of building a paper statue with his kindergarten class for a school festival.

What would be their advice for the current generation?

In response to this question, Maya asked the attendees if we read translations of LM.C’s lyrics. The audience responded, “Yes.” He then said that if you follow what is written in those lyrics you can learn how to be happy.

Who’s their favorite western artist?

Maya said his favorite was Cyndi Lauper, he liked her look more than her music though. He said that Mad Maya’s bright yellow hair color and appearance was inspired by her.

Aiji said his favorite artist was Michael Jackson.

How did they meet?

Maya stated that they met at a live house in Nagano when he was 17. He said that was there to see the band that was performing either before or after (don’t remember which) Aiji’s band. He didn’t remember much about the occasion other than Aiji was smoking when they met.

Would LM.C ever do an American Tour?

Maya commented that America is really big, they said it would be cool and asked if we would come to their shows, of course, everyone said yes.

What’s the meaning of Aiji’s Tattoo?

Aiji said that the first tattoo was his parent’s birthdays, the second represented the universe, and the third was for his previous band.

On the topic of tattoos, Maya said he doesn’t think he’d get one because he’d become bored of it and want to change it. He then joked that maybe he should get a big chest tattoo.

Did they ever get nervous meeting celebrities and idols they were young?

Aiji said no. Maya said that he’s not the type to get nervous so, no. He then said that when he was in middle school he got to meet Hide from X-Japan. Maya said that he didn’t even introduce himself he just started talking to Hide.

What’s their favorite letter and kanji?

Maya said is favorite letter was “M” (obviously), and his favorite kanji was Umi for sea “海.” Aiji took some time to think about his favorite letter, first, he said, “…L?” Then he said no, and kept thinking. Maya asked him, “Is it M?” to which Aiji responded with, “Yeah….no.” At last Aiji settled on “R.” For his favorite kanji, he said Kumo for cloud, “雲.”

Would they ever bring back MAD LM.C?

Maya said they’ve been wanting to do something with Mad LM.C but there was never a good time. It worked for this event because it fell on Halloween. He said that if another con fell on Halloween, they would do it again.

(My hope of hearing “Mad or Die!” live may never happen. ToT)

Why did they choose Visual Kei for their style?

Both Maya and Aiji said it was because all the bands the liked growing up were doing the style that would eventually become V-Kei. There was no V-Kei at the time when they were getting into those bands.

Someone asked if they liked the gift their sister gave them.

A girl gave LM.C a drawing of them as a gift. Her sister asked if they liked the gift. They said they appreciate any gift they receive but it really means a lot when someone takes the time to make something specifically for them.

Regarding the drawing itself, they liked that she had combined their first outfits with their new look.

That’s all the questions I remember. If anyone remembers any I missed, please tell me. That’s it for the live report. Please don’t forget to let me know by commenting or sending me a message if you have anything you would like to see offered in future VIP events for LM.C. Fake Star really wants to know your thoughts, and I was very honored that they reached out to me. So please, let your voices be heard.

I hope you all have the opportunity to attend a VIP event for LM.C someday. There is also a fan discord for LM.C please feel free to join and connect with other fans!

10 kpop songs released in January 2018. Plus EXO’s COUNTDOWN.

As a New Year’s resolution I decided I will be listing the 10 kpop songs released  that are stand outs to me each month in no particular order. I hope I can stick with it until the end of the year! 

1. iKON-LOVE SCENARIO. iKON came back last week and they got a hold of the number one spot in the korean charts. Their song Love Scenario is a softer sound than their previous comebacks more on the lines of My Type. The song is simple and relatable. Not my favorite of the album but I get why it has been so succesful. The album has several midtempo ballads that are a great listen, it also has more dynamic songs. Beautiful, Hug Me and One and Only were my favorite of the album.  Love Bobby’s rap in Sinosijak.

2. Red velvet. Bad boy. For me Time to love was by far my favorite song of this repackage album. All right and Bad Boy feel a bit retro and I don’t know if they fit with the rest of The Perfect Velvet album. However I do like both too. Bad Boy is a classic r&b pop song that makes you think of the early 2000s r&b tracks. 

3. Ravi ft Park Jimin-Nirvana. I have mixed feelings about this one I’ve always liked Ravi and he’s clearly the most musically gifted member in VIXX. I like the rapping in this song but I hate the voice altered parts. I usually don’t have a problem with autotune but the one in this track and generally in his 2nd Mixtape kind of bothers me. My favorite song of his album is Chamaleon. 

4. Jay Park x Yultron-Forget about tomorrow. I like Jay Park when he raps but I really love him when he sings and dances. This song has a nice beat and is sung in english which of course can be an issue for some that I added this one to my kpop list but it’s Jay Park and definitely worth mentioning.

5. Jonghyun-Shinin’. The more I listen to this song, the more I enjoy it. This bright pop song definitely brings up your mood. The album is complex and just so good. Every song is a most listen. Grease is my favorite though.

6. BoA. Nega dola. This days I’ve been obsessed with BoA’s docu series in vlive along side Shinee’s Key whom has been a BoA stan for years. So I was really looking forward to listen to this song. It finally dropped yesterday. Sometimes the MV feels like she was trying too much to give a current look but the song and the choreo are really good.

7. Infinite-Tell me. This comeback was the first since Hoya’s departure so I really was wishing the best for Infinite. The MV wasn’t my thing but I loved the song. It is so them. As always Sunggyu’s and Woohyun’s parts are so good. Their album Top Seed has its highs and lows but it’s definitely worth checking out. I really liked reminisce (L solo). Can’t be helped since Myungsoo is my Infinite bias. Pray is also really good.

8. Block B-Don't leave. I loved Block B’s last comeback Shall we dance. So I was really excited they came back so soon but this song is a bit too simple for what I was expecting. I still liked it though. The highlight of this repackage album RE:Montague is actually My Zone that was already released when Montague came out.

9. Penomeco-L.I.E (produced by Zico). This song was released as part of SM STATION and just like Hunnit (2017) it’s a chill song with Fanxy Child’s distinct colors.

10.Jeong Sewoon- Baby it's you. Jeong Sewoon is one of the Produce 101 Season 2 contestants I keep my eye on because he has a nice voice. This song is so catchy and it’s part of his first mini album part 2. You can tell Starship is really investing in him because of the producers they chose for this album and I think it has paid off.  It has some interesting songs like Toc, Toc! and Irony.

EXO: COUNTDOWN 

The long awaited EXO japanese full album COUNTDOWN is out now. As expected they topped the Oricon chart. Most of the album’s songs were part of their previews japanese singles. Their early release track Electric Kiss is probably my favorite song of the album. Lovin’ You Mo’ is a close second (the OST of Kai’s drama Spring Has Come).  Into My World is also a nice addition to the album. It has a  techno influence that makes it a really fun listen. Cosmic Railway is a grand pop ballad, the vocals are what stands out.

4,14 and 24 for music asks x

4: A song that reminds you of someone you would rather forget about It's weird, but I don't really associate songs to people. There is someone I used to be close with, and we would laugh because for some mysterious reason this song would randomly start playing somewhere (the bar, the radio), only when we were hanging out. I still like the song, and it doesn't hurt to listen to it, but I do think of him whenever I hear it. Virtual Insanity, by Jamiroquai.

14: A song that you would love played at your wedding See, you're probably expecting a sweet romantic song here. The thing is, we don't really use romantic songs in this lands. Here, it's all about the party. Weddings go on until dawn, and when the plastic hats, glasses, necklaces and various other shit comes out, at about 2 am, that's the fun part. Everyone is various levels of drunk and still on the dancefloor, the people what weren't dancing stand up, the ones that went to get more drinks run back, people hug and jump around screaming their fucking lungs out because the music that plays at this time are the party classics. (This is actually the song I referenced in my Lucas in Argentina post! The player is not picking up the chorus that's the part you scream, tho lol)

24: A song by a band you wish were still together Most of the bands I like are still together, if you don't count The Beatles or Queen which, even if we lived in a parallel reality where they could still be together, I'm not sure I would want them to. This band is still together, I guess, but after the main singer left (even though he sounds so dunrk lol) the vibe kinda changed completely so I don't really like them anymore. I keep listening to the first four albums. They're a Canadian gypsy jazz group, that's about ti Rickroll y'all. Never Gonna Give You Up, by The Lost Fingers. Two guitars and a double bass, watching them live is iNsAnE (look at them playing Billie Jean live, it's a gem. Also, Karma Chamaleon. Also Pump Up the Jam, yes I said Pump Up the Jam. Bizarre but fantastic.)

Music ask! 🎼

Other answers!

also i didnt mention this before but cockatiel x chamaleon is a fantastic name. Tedious to write but so much fun to say, the staccato nature of the words, it almost makes me think of phrases you can say to learn to beatbox like "pets and cats"

[casbabes]

Did you name the chamaleon as the one in Rapunzel on purpose? *_*

Yeah but I didn’t release that the one in the movie is a panther chameleon and mine is a Yemen chameleon x
