QL Wrapped 2023

i was tagged by @nongnaos and @ranchthoughts thank youuu <333

i meant to upload this at the latest by december 31st, but the thing is when i saw the tag i was a little overwhelmed at first bc i didn't know how to fill it out and then once i had it all written out i had a super hard time deciding on what to gif and then it all ended up taking soooo much longer than planned. and now it's already 2024. oops. well, better late then never...

so without further ado:

You watched 12 QLs this year that's about 264 hours!

(i'm counting only qls that started airing 2023 bc i didn't keep track of every single show that i watched and it's a lot easier to count all the 2023 dramas on mdl lmao)

You primarily only watched QLs from Thailand

i blame my bachelor thesis for this which i was writing on the translation strategies of thai to eng and also the fact that i'm learning thai, so any time i watch a series i'm like "do i watch something from a country other than thailand tonight??" only for a little voice in my head to go "yeah but you COULD be spending your evening practicing thai listening skills" so yeah...

You spent way too much time thinking about these characters: Pat Napat Jindapat

listen. LISTEN. i know ok, i know bad buddy is from 2021 not from 2023. however!!!!! bad buddy was part of our skyy 2 and that included my boy pat and so i'm counting it!!!! i'm always thinking about pat napat jindapat ok bye

no for real tho. i am NOT kidding when i say i have spent hours on end thinking about pat in the year of our lord 2023, two full years after the show dropped:

maybe in 2024 i'll finally sit down and write that meta that's been in my head for two years now

Your favorite show was Moonlight Chicken

it's gotta be the chicken show for me. yeah. it just felt so... idk, real in a way. idk how to explain it. i'm not even obsessing over mlc all that much but any time it pops into my head i go all kinds of 😭😭😭 and 🥰🥰🥰

not to mention the firstmix

the heartliming

and most importantly earth and fourth as an uncle/nephew duo??

i am so🥺🥺🥺

special shoutout also to jimbo the cat (left) who looks almost exactly like coco, my family's cat (right):

Another one of your favorites was Last Twilight

just. the way p'aof shows relationships on screen okay. yeah.

i cry

You are still stuck in this hallway:

yeah i've been thinking about the yank-kiss-yeet scene from hidden agenda and joke breaking down afterwards in that very hallway for 19 weeks straight gay. bye.

The soundtracks you listened to the most were:

(according to my spotify wrapped top 5)

Just Friend? (Bad Buddy)

Our Song (Bad Buddy)

น้ำลาย (My School President Cover)

Secret (Bad Buddy)

yeah. i've given up on the "only 2023 media" thing. if we're talking songs only from series released in 2023 then i've got love love love (our skyy 2) on no. 32 and no more empty nights (our skyy 2) on no. 46 on my spotify wrapped

also if you're wondering what the 5th song (on no.3 in reality) from my top 5 was that's missing above where i only mentioned four songs, well, it's none other than tilly birds' same page? which yeah. is also bad buddy related. surprise surprise 🤭

Your overall bl mood was P'Aof

You created 15 gifsets (of which "only" 1/3 were about making other shows about bad buddy)

you can find them here

You shazammed 295 royalty free background music pieces/songs from thai dramas

fun fact: i haven't mentioned this publically yet but since thai dramas keep using the same music over and over again in various series i've actually started collecting the different songs/pieces and i'm planning on making a side blog about it. i just want to go through some more dramas first before i publish anything. so this is something you can look forward to in 2024 dkjfkfdj

currently shazamming my way through bad buddy (you may have seen my blorbo breakdown about pran in the ep4 sleepover scene the other week that was triggered by me shazamming all of ep4). next on the list: theory of love and the eclipse. it takes ages tho, so don't expect it any time soon

Your favorite acting pair was JoongDunk

(is anyone even surprised by this lol)

no but for real whatever these two have going on, i'm intrigued:

i just. i love their energy ok. they're fun. and they're clearly having fun

i couldn't decide on what to gif so here's a little compilation bc fuck it, this is my post and i get to do whatever the fuck i want

(actually there's more that i could have put in there but i didn't wanna waste any more time with posting this tag game and also i was trying to keep the compilation somewhat short lmao)

they are such silly little idiot boys ("little" says the 155cm tall short person about the 180+cm giants 🤭) and i adore them &lt;3

their energy is essentially this meme and i'm so here for it:

and they just communicate so well when they're performing and you never feel like either of them is "alone" on stage (doing his own thing in his own little bubble), it's SUCH a joy to watch!!!! once again plugging two of my all time fave performances that i've been rewatching over and over again for the last 3 months:

also dunk is just SO little brother-shaped to me idek!! looking at his face just makes me go into big sister mode. it doesn't help that he's only like a month or so older than my actual little brother. AND he reminds me a lot of one of my fave kids from my youth group that i used to go to for years. dunk natachai has klein-andi energy and you all don't know what that means but i know what that means as does my mom and she agrees. so.

tagging:

i feel so ashamed for not making it in time before 2023 ended so i'm not gonna tag anyone but if you see this and you really wanna do it bc you haven't done it yet then please do so and tag me because i say so!!

and mutuals, send me yours bc i'm not sure i saw everyone else's!!!! (@celestial-sapphicss @moonkhao @visualtaehyun @telomeke @waitmyturtles @dribs-and-drabbles did you guys do this already and if yes, send me yours? i must have missed it 🥺🥺🥺)

Things I Noticed While Writing Light The Fuse: Part 2, Episode 1

And here's more of episode 1 starting off strong with my favourite scene ever /)w(\ I noticed so much stuff crammed into here that I had to make this its own part, I wanna join them on the river so damn bad ;w;

I've seen this damn scene so many times they've created a pavlovian response within me, now whenever I watch it or think about it I gotta doubeltap whatever I'm nearest to, once for Betty and once for Uncle Lug

Johnson saying they're more than Brawlers and he means it! He also motions towards the jacket on time to the music and I must also do the same now, I'm a sucker for timing and this is so simple but cute 🥰 also love how they're just saying this assuming we're Ethan in this moment following them to get his tattoo

This is the old caution room a lot of stuff happens in, you can see it better in the promo image, as well as the fact that some Pinups are hanging out in there too

Matty reading the paper while it gets sewn 😭 I actually thought they went into town for this but nope it's all Agnes and she's doing it in house. I also had no idea what Johnson was doing at first, maybe just being silly, but on the transition you can actually see that he's adjusting his sleeves cause he's about to fix Ethan's collar I'm sobbing again

See 😭 I'm also very convinced they dressed him in canon since Ethan did not dress like this before coming down here and you can't convince me otherwise, they went on a shopping trip just like in my fic and that's the truth. Also I swear to god they share shirts cause sometimes it really looks like they've switched and that makes me insane. I also went ahead and counted how many shirts Ethan wears over the season so I knew how many they'd buy him in my fic lol turns out he's got a bunch!

This is the shot from the promo images!

I love getting to see inside the trailer, I wonder what they keep in those bins back there?

I'm in love with him

I love how this entire scene is Ethan doing all the work while Matty and Johnson shop, I love them so much like the matching HATS DUDE IN THEIR COLOURS and Matty trying to get Johnson back on track and then stopping to look at something else on the way out I would die for them. I also love the detail of every bag going out being red and everyone coming in being yellow, they probably switch between those two every weeks.

This is also the shop where Matty buys Johnson his books in Melt With Me ;w;

💗😭💗 he likes being a Phoenix guys this is all he needs he's happy doing this I'm gunna cry again

Was there any reason to look this hot while opening a trailer, seriously

I'm so goddamn in love with him it's not even funny

This one isn't even an observation I just really wanna have a drink with them they're having so much fun 🥺🙏 why is Ethan is small between them lol and why is that not me

There's so much I love about this shot. Ethan just collapsing. Johnson drinking away in the background. Johnson still being the one to urgently wake him up after a sleep so deep he didn't even move. The fact that they either visit this place multiple times or this was a very long night before Matty gave up the bed and let Ethan rest because it appears again when they're watching tv. The fact that there is only ONE BED in this room and you can see that when they leave and in the bts with Matty. Also the bonus second take making it in lmao he bounced so hard in that one

Again, he could either be talking to us, and so the wink is for us, or he just straight up looked like that to Ethan. I don't know about you guys but... 🙄

They are the hottest men I've ever seen. Hand shot from Matty just for me. His lip curled over the cigarette. Johnson staring directly into the camera. The smoke they both just blow out so casually. I need to participate in one (1) sloppy makeout with these two stat plEASE

I love him I need to have a car ride with him just to hear whatever he's so passionate about. Plus it looks like Johnson is leaning on the back of his seat to listen and that's just plain adorable

They didn't have to do this 😭 I'm so in love with Ethan being so sleepy that he falls asleep on Johnson, and Matty just stealing the whole entire bed for himself (which again there is only one of!) and funnily enough since Johnson's wearing the same shirt as the other scene (obviously because they filmed all this at once but I'm thinking in world hehe) Ethan took his shirt off before bed and put it back on again lmao I'm also completely ignoring how normal I am about this rare glimpse of Johnson chest 😀

Johnson likes to sing! Matty clapping away for him all proud and cheering him on!! Ethan smiling in the background until he joins in!!! These boys make me cry I swear to go- Anyway he's gotta be good, I need to go back in time and get into this scene

This made me laugh when I first saw it, just Matty being so expressive and energetic that he straight up stops driving and Ethan has to take over with such an unimpressed look lmao I doubt he's even listening

Based on his sleeve being rolled up, that's Matty telling him to come on and I think that's so cute ;w; Ethan is so spaced out, nice of them to let him have a sit before it was time to go. In my fic I wrote them as carrying around their own duffle bags with their clothes but it actually looks like Johnson's holding a suitcase, so Matty might be too. I like them having just an excess of duffles though lol I can't see Matty taking the time to pack a suitcase every morning it would be so messy

Literally the three hottest men on the planet and I love them all, I'm so incredibly happy I got into this show

And that's it for this scene! Episode 1 will be wrapped up for real tomorrow, there was just too much to look at here 🥰💙❤️💛

[koumeowkami]

Reread through the notes I made and to sum it up, I do think the pararai anime is neat! I knew spoilery stuff about Nayuta since way back when and had a general grasp of the character's trap reactions, but not so much about the general plot (aside from the winners and all) so I don't think I have much thoughts about it?

As a story in of itself though, I like that each group gets their time in the spotlight but apparently TCW doesn't get a full performance?— My notes kept mentioning it and I seemed a little annoyed—

Also live love laugh Ryu being a menace. It was enjoyable enough but given BAE and Cozmez seemed to be in the spotlight, it sort of left TCW and Akanyatsura behind in terms of development (Although they seemed developed enough, if that makes sense)

Stuff from my notes

Hell yeah this is what I've been waiting for! (ep 1)

The phantometals' effects look so good and I really like the look of the animation

Second instance (as far as I know) of Gakuto Kajiwara being the lead protagonist in a music franchise anime adaptation <- the other one being ACTORS: Song Connection..

I REALLY DO LIKE MURASE'S RANGE AS HAJUN

He's a mood (Allen)

Paradox Devil thing reminds me of Grim

Ryu-kun!

HANAEEEE

I did praise the animation but why does the stamen in that flower look so stiff

Cozmez? Cozmez!

Why is Kanata so pretty

I never really got into the how or why phantometals connect to their users other than making it from their trauma, this anime makes it digestible

(Allen drawing on Hajun's apron and shouting "Inspiration!") Leo Tsukinaga is that you

Hajun pretty boy antics

Bae oversleeping on opening night huh..

Hajun flying them in!

Trauma!

Cozmez is drawn so ethereal

The OP is really nice (ep 2)

Not Kanata gatekeeping hiphop?/lh

Kanallen! ..Nevermind, he was robbing him

..Mouse as big as a dog? Isn't that like a rat.. come on we have a song called rats and nobles..

Kanata gatekeeping!

Ryu-kun having fun! (the tcw vs akanyatsura battle)

—Not showing TCW & Akanyatsura's performance? Foul

Old man yaoi

(Has stopped keeping track of the episodes)

Time to see TCW performance. or not...

Ryu is a menace and I am INTO it

Reo is adorable

ep.5 and this OP still is a banger

Not Kanata and Nayuta both having their own spiels about "I can't let you stay here" <- since.. yeah, does that mean that this is how Kanata thinks subconsciously?

When are we gonna look at TCW performing

Allen working part-time throughout the Ryu episode...

HILARIOUS

Allen "little dapper man" Sugasano

ep.7

Nayuta...

Nayushiki duet at the end?!?@??@?

ep.9 - Sweet ol kanalller contend <- watched the scene and was writing at the same time while laughing hysterically

NAYUTA READ THE ROOM

(end of notes)

omg aeri... pls read the drama tracks when you can cause 😭 once you do you realize how much this anime is missing (or even got wrong)...

you're right abt akyr and tcw not having enough screentime and to be honest, i'd say the same abt cozmez since they didn't explain anything abt their backstory – nayushiki thing aside – and completely ruined the ending... bae got so many useless scenes 😞

so yeah, even if the characters seemed to have gotten any development, no one knows what caused it anyways (or at least, i talked abt the anime with my irl friend who's anime-only, and she genuinely didn't understand some stuff that happened cause they didn't explain shit lol).

replying to the stuff from your notes

the effects are really one of the only things i'm willing to defend abt this anime cause they were truly SO GOOD!! i was so scared of how bad the cgi would've been but i was proved wrong, the performances were all really cool <3

i'm not sure if you're into fragraria memories but gakkun voices the lead protagonist there as well! and hallritt has red hair too... curious...

paradevil is truly our grim... they'd be great friends

the flower symbolizes tsubaki, saimon's late wife (i'm pretty sure no anime-only fan understood that cause they never mentioned her LMAO; that's also why they keep showing that damn flower)

they "skipped" the justice performance but it's only cause they showed tcw with 4 real later! each group had one battle performance :D

yes, everything nayuta says is part of kanata's subconscious!! phantom nayuta is literally the personification of kanata's deepest thoughts, the truth under millions of layers 👍🏻

i loved kanallen in the filler episode, that's what youngsters would call "my roman empire" nowadays. also yeah notice kanata cockblocking himself (through nayuta)

i support you saying "why is cozmez so pretty" every few notes. relatable

[roccinan]

I'm glad to see you answer (and no pressure at all, this particular fic has been so precious to me, I'd already made the playlist asdfjsk) You're too kind omg, I thank you for writing it in the first place, and this is just a token of my appreciation <3

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3VXYoJIvkgV2Fu4CZwrhaB?si=859c50fe23b74936

(just a warning lol idk how my taste in music differs from you, so you might not like it in which case i apologise before hand 😭 I tried to mostly pick songs that fit the feels/plot overall, some songs (nearly half to 2/3rd LOL) is kinda from Sergio POV? I hope it comes across that way atleast, and a few instrumentals that again I *hope* fit the general mood, I tried (key word - try) arranging in order of the events that happen in the fic but you can also listen on shuffle! I also apologise for how long it got, please listen to it only if you have the time/energy lol (it's also got a few nods to hc's from some of your other fics but it is primarily based on the hermanos in rain fic)

PS I understood your struggle to choose a title, I literally titled it "rain" in the beginning XD I ended up going with one of the other options to match the cover pic, hope you don't mind! I love the actual title of the fic too, it just looked too long on spotify 😅

Firstly, sorry for how very looonnngggg it took me to answer! @ everyone, this an amazing hermanos-themed playlist that perfectly captures every beat of I'd rather be dry (but at least I'm alive). Thank you so much for taking the time to make this and for sharing it with me (as you know, I 100% RACED to listen to it as soon as you shared it with me). No really, thank you so much for always being there to support my hermanos fics! I really appreciate it and means a lot to me!

My music taste is also all over the place LMAO and I always have the toughest time thinking of songs that match the "vibe" of whatever it is I'm looking for, so I'm super impressed at how you picked out such a wide-range list that manages to capture every scene and mood I was going for :D The fact that it's chronological too blows my mind! I'll definitely be listening to it a lot while rereading that story ;) And all the instrumentals you picked were so beautiful and exactly what I enjoy listening to too!

Remembrance - This sets the mood so well, not just for a moody intro but also Sergio's mindset in general (+ his life with Andres), like this is something I can hear from show canon!

He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother - Perfect title and perfect lyrics for our brotp, made for the hermanos! Also love how it coincides with Sergio literally having to carry Andres in the next scene lol

Carry You - Same thoughts apply here! Thematically perfect; also something that feels like a track the show would play over a montage

West - Sleeping At Last song!! haha I've used their songs to set the mood so much whenever I'm writing for hermanos or berlermo, and the song you picked here (both instrumental and lyrics) fits the story so well, especially the "we'll be just fine" being repeated

Blue Ridge Mountains - Another beautifully themed brotherly song! Can definitely see this playing through the scene of Sergio trudging through the rain, or of him and Andres "contemplating" in the motel together during the storm

Repeat Until Death - The lyrics :'D really perfectly captures Sergio's feelings about Andres' (impending) death; this one's so sad omg but so fitting

The Emotion - the vibes! I can hear this suiting Sergio's flashback to the day on the beach (and events in Hermanito!) and Andres comforting him in the present

Recuerdos - Another beautiful instrumental that captures the same mood as #7!

It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday - this one reminds me of Sergio telling Andres his fears out loud in the motel :') also fits his mindset regarding Andres (and their father) in general

Across the Sea - el mitad del oceano reference!? haha either way, another bittersweet instrumental that suits the melancholic mood

Song for a Stormy Night - literally captures that entire picture of Sergio listening to the storm while Andres sleeps XD the lyrics somehow took all of Sergio's words out of his mouth

The Golden Age - I'm also a woodkid fan and I remember hearing this song the first time and going 'hmm hermanos' asdfasdf You came to the same conclusion, love that!

Stay Alive - Another one that really captures the narrative's mood, especially from Sergio's pov!

Brother - this gives me strong "Hermanito" vibes! And to me, this feels like a rare one from Andres' pov

Jacob and the Stone - Another great instrumental that fits the tragisweet mood in the motel!

I Don't Want to Lose You - This playlist digs through Sergio's emotions like an onion, and this one really suits his confession about never wanting to lose his brother :') Even the lyrics perfectly fit the hermanos (like the part of past loves at the piano!). I know the singer wrote this with a couple in mind lol but out of context, this is a song for the #hermanos

Same as above!

Carry You Through - we're 18 songs in and you still manage to find a song with lyrics that matches Sergio's angst so well that I'm just impressed XD "we couldn't be closer but still out of reach" AHHH

In Case You Don't Live Forever - Another PERFECTLY matched hermanos song, especially taking in the events from the "Hermanito" timeline; exactly what was going through Sergio's head towards the end of Rain too

Isaac - And we're getting to the end of the storm ;) OHH another rare one from Andres' pov that perfectly captures how he felt about seeing Sergio panic through Rain. And yes, always insane about Sergio is the Isaac to Andres' Ishmael

You'll Be Alright - a comforting one that feels like it's from Andres when he's comforting Sergio!

Yellow - Ah, coldplay, Alex Pina's favorite band XD not an lcdp playlist without them! This really fits the mood at the end, after the climax, and I like to think of it from Andres' pov as he's reminiscing about little Sergio

Save You - Immediately made think of Sergio's , "This time, I'm protecting you" :') and the overall last scene of the fic; it's what all his fears have been boiling down to, and the lyrics about searching for an answer/trying to understand --> that's so El Profesor!!

We're Gonna Be Okay - perfectly paints the mood of Andres hugging Sergio in the living room, telling him it's going to be okay after that hell of a day they had :'D

Si, Te Quiero Mucho (Hermanito) - LOSING MY MIND THAT THERE IS A REAL SONG NAMED THIS!????? wonder if it's a lcdp reference lol anyway, definitely Andres' final thoughts about Sergio both in the canon timeline and the end of Rain; literally the perfect thing to close out the playlist with and what I can hear playing over the "credits" of Rain. Mood and lyrics match so well (Andres' pretentious ass asdfadsf) and the culmination of what he feels about Sergio + inevitably leaving him behind

Thanks again for sharing this with me! A lot of wonderful new songs here I didn't know about and so many great hermanos-themed tracks too :D This was such a sweet gift and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!

And loved the title you chose too ;) PLEASE, I of all people know the pain of trying to choose a good title!

[woozi]

hiii yza! it’s car crash anon… now that we’re a few weeks into god of music’s release, I was wondering if you had a ranking / any thoughts on the tracks for seventeenth heaven?

also, when there’s a comeback, is there anything you tend to anticipate / are super excited for outside of just the MV?

for me I’m OBSESSED with the dance practice behinds. any behind for award ceremony practices are also pretty fun, but I just personally loveee hearing them sing little bits and pieces of the song live in the dance practices. this is actually how I characterize booseoksoon in my head—they’re the three members most likely to burst into song (seriously. that mmtg vid I pointed out before with hoshi imitating a violin player? in that vid seungkwan starts singing manmanhani by ukiss and dk and hoshi join in. yeah I just know this in my head. no I couldn’t tell u a single member’s bday in svt I just keep lots of strange and minuscule factoids in my head)

anyways, because of that I TREASURE the inside seventeens for fighting (the dance practice, the promotional activities, and the circle chart awards practice) because there’s just so much. ~performance~ going on. impromptu singing and such. I actually wasn’t a biggest fan of the song but after watching the behind stuff and the going seventeen (mr. cha you’re an icon to me) I was completely sold on the vibe of it all.

also I think I just like dance practices. every month I remember some svt performance and text my friend like “listen I just think whether you like the song or not spider has such a good choreography. like it absolutely represents the feeling of prey and predator so well. also like the props are so effectively used like. it’s literally just glorified pull-up bars but the layering of them creates this really interesting enhancement of Depth and makes it really FEEL like one is being pulled deeper into a web—and when they switch to a side view, these same props almost give off the image of prison bars. the execution is genuinely so brilliant—” [cut for time] I could do this abt most svt choreos tbh I LOVE picking out details!

hello bestie 🥰🥰🥰

my ranking atm is GoM > back 2 back = monster = yawn > diamond days > headliner > sos (sorry the lyrics make me .... 🤨🤨🤨 jkdsfjsdkjkdskjds 😭😭😭 but it's understandable eng is not their first language!!)

hONESTLY????????? i always look forward to the dance practice fdfdkdfkjdfjk i think it's because i also used to dance and i just find it very fascinating (esp bc the choreo/performance aspect is a huge part of what svt has to offer)

ALSO WIGGGGG ure so valid for that <3 it rlly is nice to see what goes on behind the scenes!! would also add jeonghan to the burst-into-song unit 😋

ALSO NOT MR CHA 😭😭😭😭😭 icb we lived to see that, also love how they try not to break character but ultimately fail 😭😭😭

AGREED W SPIDER TOO????????????????????????????????/ and ure right omg i havent thought abt The Imagery

MIDNIGHTS

TAYLOR SWIFT

2022 / 24 songs / 1hr24mins

⭐️⭐️⭐️

AVERAGE SONG RATKING - 5.67

TS discog ranking pt 1

Lavender Haze - 7

fun! definitely sets the scene for the album - this is probably so hugely ranked because it’s the opener and the production hasn’t had a chance to become gratingly repetitive yet - which isn’t to say it’s the most exciting thing in the world to begin with. enjoyable lyrics and mostly okay production.

Maroon - 6.2

i mean. it’s just about better than alright. the lyrics are definitely the best part - like the whole thing about the chorus having a bunch of ways to say red (wine, blood, scarlet, rust etc). at this point in the album i was already over the production.

Anti-Hero - 6.4

refreshingly bright and open production, could’ve maybe done better further into the album when you’re more fatigued from every song sounding the same. one of those taylor swift songs that’s corny but good enough that you allow it - and it’s just good enough for that. it’s no shake it off.

You’re On Your Own, Kid - 8.5

track five and it’s the first bridge that really makes you go yeah, this is a taylor swift bridge - a double edge sword of success and the notion that it shouldn’t have taken that many songs for the album to warm up. emotional and somehow nostalgic while falling firmly in with the newfangled Midnights sound - doesn’t rely on production to make you a bit sentimental. one of the most original on the record.

Snow On The Beach (feat Lana Del Rey) - 3.7

why credit someone as a feature for background vocals? other artists don’t! false advertisement and overall kind of corny. fun idea though, reminds me of when i actually did go to the beach when it snowed. points for that..

Question…? - 1

oh my god i fucking hate this song 😭😭 at this point in the album the boredom created by the repetition of the production is aggravating and maybe they tried to combat this with some of the oddest mixing choices i think i’ve ever heard - none of which work! they’re not enjoyable and don’t aid at all in making the album less boring. it’s a failed attempt that just upsets you more and leaves you yearning for another YOYOK or something similar.

Vigilante Shit - 5.8

all i can say is that it’s boring

Bejeweled - 7.7

finally something interesting again. listening to midnights in one sitting is like being drip-fed alright music in between some of the worst and/or dull production i’ve ever heard. sparkly!

Labyrinth - 3

forgettable

Karma - 8.2

like Bejeweled, Karma is a droplet of refreshing sound in a desert of Jack Antonoff being what i can only assume is lazy. fun, reminds me of halloween parties because it was released around that time. partyable, evidently

Sweet Nothing - 6.7

just like the title. cute, but ultimately leaves almost no impression on the listener.

Mastermind - 4.5

why has jack antonoff forgotten that just because it sounds polished doesn’t mean it’s produced well. at this point in Midnights it feels like the only thing being prioritised is the smoothness of the vocals or synth. just because they sound technically good doesn’t mean they’re interesting or even alright. i’m bored of saying this album is boring!

The Great War - 5

five is the only rating for this song. unbelievably - like actually they must’ve been aiming for this - mid in all senses of the word.

Bigger Than The Whole Sky - 7.9

a harrowing entry to be the one that finally begins to break free from the Midnights Mold. incredibly sad despite the production not trying particularly hard to evoke any emotion. stripped back. hate the vocal mixing, doesn’t fit the song at all.

Paris - 6

cute. above average for the below average record. not much else to say.

High Infidelity - 4

hey kids, cheating is fun

Glitch - 2

could be the most boring on the album - one of the most uneventful albums i’ve ever listened to

Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve - 9.5

best song on the album as a bonus is boldddd… one of swifts best, top thirty at least. incredibly raw and emotive, beautiful lyrics and manages to lunch through the rigid production walls Midnights imposed on itself

Dear reader - 3

nothing to say, once again. what’s the point in making so many songs no one has anything to say about.

Hits Different - 7.8

fun! i actually like the production on this one, which brings its score up. the writing is mehhish at times but it keeps up the pace throughout even when it wants to lul.

Snow On The Beach (feat more Lana Del Rey) - 2.9

why is this one worse !!!!!!! it feels like they’ve taken things OUT of the mix in this one ?? what the fuck ?! all of these songs are 1 synthesiser a snare a hi hat and maybe the top two strings of a guitar at any given time why would you ever need to take anything away from any of them ?? all of these songs sound like stripped down acoustic versions of original tracks in a world where synthesisers are acoustic and we never invented guitars

Karma (feat Ice Spice) - 4

whyyyyy is ice spice’s verse in half time it doesn’t work at all even for a couple lines did anyone listen to this as it was made or did they just send her into the recording booth and put it out after a couple takes

You’re Losing Me - 7.6

while i would say YLM is overall one of the better songs off the album, it ultimately suffers the Mignidghts curse - everything bar the lyrics sounds identical to every other song on the record, and even then it’s you have to put in effort to recognise this due to the vocal production being, again, identical to every other song on the record. good bridge, verses and choruses forgettable in all honesty.

CLOSING ARGUMENTS

Midnights can often sound like how bad trips are represented in mediocre movies. the production is disorienting at times, with lyrical deliveries that repeatedly feel stumbly or out of place. in my opinion there was a clear idea, an aesthetic that someone had definitively chosen for the album, but most of the lyrics just never feel truly suited to it. if you wanted an album full of sparkly skywashed pink-blue synthpop smoke clouds, write an album full of Karmas, Bejeweleds and Lavender Hazes. leave the Question?…s and Snow on the Beach-es in the vault. sounds like a bad trip but probably made during a couple good ones.

if i was like 24 i bet i’d like it a lot more. not in a “this was made for millennials and i’m not the target audience” way, (although that’s probably at least partly true) but i just feel like 24 is the age to enjoy this album. maybe i’ll give it a call in six years.

in a word? disappointing. give it a listen anyway, you’ll like at least one song.

idk how they are not embarrassed or how did they think that that's a normal thing to do🥸 WE CAN BURN SM TOGETHER THATS FOR SURE!!!

Enchanted (6/11 of Exile) |Vernon Chwe x Reader

Pairing: Vernon Chwe x gn! reader / past Park Seo Joon x gn! reader

Genre: fluff, angst, strangers to lovers

Sypnosis: Famous singer-songwriter, y/n, quietly released an album 2 years after ghosting the music scene suddenly. After their infamous scandal in which y/n was videoed to be in an altercation with established actor, Park Seo Joon at a restaurant, y/n ceased all their music activities and went into hiding, refusing to comment further on the issue. Lucky for all you conspiracy theorists! It seems as though all the questions left unanswered in 2019 are finally addressed (or so we think!) in this unexpected album drop.

A/N: Ahhhh we finally got to Vernon 😭😭 It feels like forever but here we are!!! I hope you’ll enjoy this as much as I did writing it hehe

Series Masterlist | Next

Enchanted is a song that describes the infatuation after meeting someone for the first time, wondering if the feeling is reciprocated. This song parallels White Horse, in which the fairytale imagery is very prominent, only contrasting between infatuation and heartache. This song acts as a turning point in the heartbreak anthems we have been listening to. We are curious to know if this song is about a new person in y/n’s life. Due to the bridge trending on TikTok on the first day of the release, the song has peaked the Melon Charts, ranking #2, just below ‘All Too Well’ (10 minutes version). Funnily, y/n has said that the bridge of this song was their favourite as it represented the authenticity of their stream of consciousness when penning down the sound. Click here for the premiere of y/n’s live commentary of the album during the listening party.

October 2019

You smoothed out the creases in your outfit, ensuring that everything was in place before you head out for the party. Yes, party.

Joshua had organized a get-together with the members as well as some of the idol groups for a Halloween party. Initially, you vehemently rejected his invitation, unsure if you’re ready to show your face to your colleagues and peers of the same industry. Joshua then assured you that you don’t have to come if you don’t want to but that if you wanted to go, it was a safe space and that everyone who is attending has to sign an NDA.

After deliberating (and honestly, the FOMO feeling as you see Minghao and Hoshi buying their costumes and props), you changed your mind and decided to go to the party. When Joshua heard that, he immediately pulled out his phone and coincidentally had a costume online site tab opened. That was how you spent the rest of your Sunday, 3 weeks before the party.

Seungkwan was the co-organizer of the party. And as the residential Virgo moon party planner, of course he had a list for everything. Especially a guest list. To help you mentally prepare yourself for the party, Seungkwan, who you never had the chance to meet before, emailed you the guest list. You were relieved to see that all the guests invited were musicians and not actors.

Seungkwan and Joshua went big with this party, renting out a ballroom at a fancy hotel with a private entrance to ensure privacy of the idols attending. The ballroom was not so big, allowing more casual and intimate exchanges and conversations. The DJ played instrumentals of familiar tracks, sometimes even of the idols who are present.

You were extremely nervous.

You just hoped that the topic of Seo Joon wouldn't arise at this party.

The plan to make you feel comfortable at this party was to have one of the guys to hang back with you. Woozi volunteered himself, of course, not really foreseeing himself socializing and moving around a lot at the party.

You decided to come as Ramona Flowers. You were lowkey scared the wig was gonna slide off at any given time because it was one of those party wigs that you just have to put on and use the small combs in the inner side for security. Woozi got you a classic drink he knew you would like, cranberry vodka, while he chose wheat beer, not wanting to get tipsy as he was still heading back to the studio later in the night to work on an incomplete song.

However, Woozi’s plan to sit and chill with you changed when Yoongi approached him and whisked him away, interested in his current projects and just wanting to catch up with him. You sighed, not really blaming Woozi. It was not his obligation to babysit a whole grown ass adult at a fun party.

You took the chance to look around. There were idols you recognized but were not really familiar with as you were a soloist and your schedule is less packed than theirs, not really giving you the opportunity to socialize with them. You felt a few tentative looks too. It was expected. An artist that had an unclarified scandal and who completely ghosted the industry is in their presence. You decided to take that as a chance to step out of the ballroom to take a breath of fresh air near the foyer. You sat down at the garden bench nearby.

“Have you seen this girl?” You turned around. It was Vernon dressed as Victor from Corpse Bride, holding a piece of tissue paper with the messy sketch that Scott Pilgrim did of Ramona in the house party scene. You let out an unexpected giggle.

“I didn’t think anyone would even make a reference about me to me.”

“Eh, gotta give you credit for nailing the look down to the T.” He shrugged.

You touched your chest, feigning flattery. Vernon let out a small chuckle.

You could hear the slight hum and vibration from the liveliness of the party. Other than that, you shared silence with Vernon.

“You alright? I saw Woozi Hyung going with Yoongi to his studio.”

Vernon and you had a weird… friendship? You weren’t really friends but because you have been hanging out even more (and now as late as you can) at Woozi’s studio where Vernon has been dropping by to submit lyrics or to just chill at, you have become quite familiar with him. There were never opportunities for the both of you to spend time alone together. Now, it feels a bit awkward but anticipatory.

“I’m okay. Just… There's too much going on in there and I don’t know if I can fit in.” You said softly, a bit shy that you were pouring out your honest thoughts towards this guy you barely knew.

“I understand. It can be too much.” Vernon mumbled. He kept quiet afterwards. Awkward silence seems to be a common thing between you and Vernon. It made you feel a bit uneasy but it definitely piqued your interest, to know what kind of person he is, what he is really thinking about (and at times, what he thinks of you…).

“But I admire you… it takes a lot of courage to show up when there are people who have concluded their perceptions of you as fact.” There was a faint blush creeping up his ears but it was so dark outside that you couldn’t catch it.

You bit down a shy smile. “Thank you…” You trailed off, debating whether you should say the next thing you were thinking about. But the silence continued to drone on, making you slightly antsy. Fuck it.

“What about you? Have you concluded your perception of me?”

Vernon looked at you with a contemplative look in his eyes. His intense stare (and his handsome face) made you look away from him, unable to stand his strong gaze.

He hummed for a bit. “I don’t know you enough to conclude any perceptions.”

You nod your head, understanding his answer.

Vernon’s mind was churning. He didn’t know if he should say this but it has been at the back of his head for a while now.

“But, I do want to know you more… you know… to make my conclusion.” He scratched the back of his head and it made you laugh a bit. You felt better that he was feeling and acting as awkward as you.

“We have plenty of opportunities…” You said with a small voice, not sure if he was serious about knowing you more.

“Yeah, I see you a lot nowadays. Maybe we can hang out at Woozi Hyung’s studio more comfortably now.” He bit down on his lips, feeling a bit nervous. He could feel that this moment would alter and shift where he stands with you, from somewhat strangers/acquaintances to possible friends. As he witnesses your friendships with his other members bloom, he feels curious to know if you will grow to be as comfortable with him.

Vernon had always admired you as an artist. Your writing style and how the storytelling flow is formatted in your songs inspires him in his own lyric writing process. Of course, he is too shy to tell you this.

Joshua knows of his little celebrity crush on you and was the one who urged Vernon to approach you to check up on you when he saw you exiting the ballroom. Vernon completely got your costume when you stepped in the party and was thinking of… smooth ways to approach you. He quickly took one of the napkins and asked one of the managers for a pen, knowing that he always has one on him all the time. He knew Scott Pilgrim vs The World by heart, including all references, so he decided to quickly scribble the drawing Scott did of Ramona as he went around to ask if anyone knew her.

“Yeah, I would love to hang out with you. Either at Woozi’s studio or…” Liquid courage really helped you to be this brave to propose an outing (not a date, not a date) with a man as attractive as Vernon.

“Or?” Vernon raised his eyebrow.

“Or.” You laughed as you said that, slowly stepping back, ready to join back the party. Vernon pursed his lips and nodded, trying to appear cool.

“Let’s head back inside. It’s getting cold.” Vernon changed the subject, allowing the promise of possibilities to hang between you both in a lighthearted way.

Once you reentered the party, Vernon led you to the rest of the members who have now settled themselves at one section of the ballroom, snacks and alcohol completely covering the low table.

You spent the rest of the night in a comfortable and enjoyable exchange with the rest of the members.  Oftentimes, you catch Vernon looking at you, making you a bit flustered and shy. When he catches your gaze, he’d give a warm smile and there was a nice feeling blooming in your chest.

Ellie what are the nichest bands u listen to?like the most obscure n weird things on your playlist

ok like i said in the lil post i made b4 i posted this, thank u so much 4 this question, this was rly fun 2 think abt!! 😭💕

idk how much of an answer u were expecting, and i probs overthought this Way too much cos like ~obscure~ can mean different things like most ppl off the internet probs haven’t heard of the mountain goats or neutral milk hotel, but they’re p well known on the internet exactly For being obscure/niche 😅 (and tbf the live recordings of gigs i’ve got of both of those bands probs Are some of the most niche stuff i’ve got 😭)

so what i’ve gone for is like, bands i’ve never rly seen many other ppl talk, even on the internet?? 😧 so 2 start..

darwin deez - an indie pop/rock band i got introduced 2 by a friend at school in like 2012, i guess one of their songs was Kinda well known on the internet (radar detector!!) but i haven’t heard many ppl talk abt them since that came out, and their 2nd and 3rd albums are two of my fav albums ever!! 🥰

courtney love - not That courtney love, there’s for some reason a band w/ the same name as her from the early 90s, even b4 she got famous?? 😧 they only had 3 ep’s but they’re Rly good, i found out abt them bcos snail mail did a cover of one of their songs (the 2nd most beautiful girl in the world!!) 😮

emily’s sassy lime - i rly love riot grrrl music and i was looking for more bands and their name stuck out 2 me (it’s a palindrome!!) so i started reading abt them and saw that they were a band of 3 asian american girls which was rly cool bcos unfortunately there weren’t that many women of colour in the riot grrrl scene.. so i was like hell yeah!! they only had one album but it Slaps 😎

the like - an all women indie rock band i found out abt when i used 2 be in b*ndom in like 2012, they’re just Rly good and rly underrated!! 😭

the brobecks - an indie pop/rock band i also discovered from bandom, the guy who was in it was also in panic! at the disco for a while, but everything he did as the brobecks is Way better than anything panic has done in the last decade 😅 violent things is their only album that’s got an ~official~ release but they have a few others out there too, happiest nuclear winter is my fav!!

asobi seksu - a shoegaze/dream pop sorta band, i’ve only listened 2 one of their albums, but i heard “i’m happy but you don’t like me” in an episode of skins and loved it so much i wanted 2 hear more of the band 🥺😭

big audio dynamite - i’m not sure if they’re obscure exactly bcos tbf they had a #1 single in the 90s, but also i only know 1 other person who likes them and i’d never heard of them even tho i’d been a clash fan for years??? but they were mick jones’ band after the clash and they do like dance?? music and it’s rly good!!

the boo radleys - they were kind of a one hit wonder during britpop in the 90s w/ a song (wake up boo!) that most ppl probs know, but b4 they were a britpop band they were more of a shoegaze band, “ichabod and i” is one of my fav albums of all time (i chose my name from the first track “eleanor everything!!” 🤯)

the vaselines - maybe they’re not so obscure bcos i’ve seen a few ppl talk abt them and i think we probs all got into them the same way (hearing nirvana’s covers of their songs 😅) but they’re a rly good scottish rock band i think deserve more love!! 😭

altered images - probably one of the most obscure 80s band i’m like an actual fan of, they’re p well known for “happy birthday” but their other stuff is Rly good too, especially “don’t talk to me about love” and “i could be happy!!” 🥰 (also i’ve always had a massive crush on clare grogan ever since seeing her in red dwarf, so it was cool 2 find out she had a band too 😅)

+ a special shoutout 2 sebastian svahn, i only kno one song by him (blue corrugated cardboard!!) that i heard in a david firth video, it’s probably the most niche/weird thing in my library, but it’s rly soothing, i listen 2 it b4 i go 2 bed sometimes 😌

so there u go!! sorry if this is more than u were expecting sndsfjsd, and thank u 2 anyone who reads this if u do!! 🥰✨

[jentlemahae]

completely agree with you and your other anons we waited so long for this comeback only to essentially receive nothing once again. i was already upset they didn't really promote pv but i thought then they'll probably promote their title track and whole album better... well 🤡 i also thought bc they flew to the us we would get more content than one live performance on jimmy kimmel 😐 where are the interviews, car pool karaoke song association like give me SOMETHING. and now that they're back in korea again i want more than just one inkigayo performance... i want them to actually be present when they win at music shows so we can see more of their fun encore stages and do variety shows. their promotions for the album were so much better... they performed both hylt & lsg at music shows + we got live stages for pretty savage (i NEED typa girl live stages!!) they had their own variety show, went on knowing bros and promoted in the us properly with multiple interviews i really don't understand what yg is doing it just makes me mad (but lisa also barely got any promo for her solo which doesn't make any sense to me either) and wish even more that the girls don't resign their contracts but i still want them to remain together as a group 😭 sorry this got so long i'm just so frustrated bc i love them so much but receiving close to nothing after 2 years of inactivity is just infuriating. the lyrics "it's not a comeback bc we never left" also kinda pisses me off bc they were INACTIVE FOR OVER 2 YEARS and now this doesn't even feel like a real comeback either 😭😭😭

yep 😐 i didn’t like the album promo during the era but looking back now ???? we had it so much better ……. i remember i received an ask a while back saying yg is trying to use the same no-promo strategy that he uses in the k scene with bps western promo and how it’s wrong bcs things work differently there and i couldnt agree more! bp can afford to do no promo since they’re the biggest kgg atm but in the west they’re still relatively unknown so if they want to target the western market they cannot afford to just go mia all the time, and esp in week 1 after album release 😐😐

honestly atp i dont even care if they remain a group like we have so little ot4 content ? i think if they all go their separate ways it won’t make much of a difference like they’ll still be friends and they (probably) will be able to collab as 4 so 🤷🏻‍♀️

and ikr 😐😭 that line honestly annoys me like fshsjjs y’all don’t work !!! it’s not a comeback bcs yall didn’t come back !!!!

[shuaberriez]

hihiiii i hope you're well!!!

omg!!! don't worry about it!! it's really cool that you've started listening to them hehe <3 tbh they really popped off with their music this year. i think the rock genre really suited them - they did it really well! i know i love you and lo$er lover are quality songs so valid <3 and omg yeah the reveal is coming up soon !! it'll be nice to finally meet you <3 idk if i'll ever get around to giffing for txt but if i have time, i might occasionally !! omg true!! it's nice to see their growth over time but tbh elims just gut me </3 and VALID AHJDKNDSFJN self care is important!!

OHHHH you play guitar :o that's so cool omg!! so do i ^^ do you play any other instruments? and a bookworm!! do you have a particular genre you adore? and do you have any book reccs! tbh i saw most of the interactions on instagram after kingdom but i should get around to watching the performance </3 i only watched a couple bc my cousin had recommended them to me asdsklmds. and VALID SNDSKJN it's always hard to choose a bias </3 very rarely do you stick with one JDdskmdsk </3

AH i thought so!! i remember when i had watched the drama, i was obsessed w the ost for a while <3 yeah omg i watched the psycho cover they did for the first time in forever and i was just in awe yet again. i got hyunjin brainrot for the first time in a while after that </3 elims just make me </3 i'm weak hearted i can't watch those shows bc of them JSDJKFSDN. JSJDFNDSFKJ YEAH i honestly don't know how i'd come across that. i had a day6 phase for a couple of months in high school so i remember watching crack videos jsfdnjdfs. tbh i really loved the moonrise album! the series of songs/mvs - what can i do, i loved you and when you love someone were my favourite <3 what about you?

true <3 crack videos reveal all about a group tbh sfdjnfsdkj. and yes omg!!! i was so shocked at their performance tbh it was so cool. and you're right omg the actress from my name and ryujin do look similar :o i haven't watched the drama bc i was told it was quite violent but i have seen the actress ^^

SFDJNSDFKJN at one point all of the 95 line were my top biases, but cheol got replaced by a certain kwon soonyoung </3 and we don't talk about falling for u - it may or may not be a brainrot song </3 247 is such a quality song omg it gives me kdrama vibes when the main love interests meet each other for the first time and they have that weird eye contact kind of scene? idk. also i think with it playing in the background during boo seungkwan's past life destiny last year w seoksoon it stayed as one of my favourite songs lol. SECOND LIFE ASUJKDSFNSDFJKFSDNKJ i have a really strong attachment to that song omg i think i read something based off that song and i was like crying by the end of it so it's one of my favourites <3 OMG I'VE NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE :O you're right!!! asdksdfksdfnkj thank you <3 i can assure you that i'm in no way fancy but i appreciate it :sob:

thank you!! we're going on a road trip together at the start of next year since we can't fly but i'm really excited, none the less <3 i've never been to japan! i hoped to make a joint trip w south korea but covid </3 OOOOOO omg!!!!!!!!! wonwoo :o that's so cool! and you play video games :o which ones omg??? OMG AND A FELLOW INFJ HELLO jsdkjdfsn mbti isn't entirely accurate but it's fun to do ^^ okay i think i identify with seungkwan the most tbh </3 we're both really dramatic and emotional sldkkdsfn even though i'm definitely not extroverted at all, i relate to him sm nshfkjsfd

it's so weird omg!! this year has flown by tbh </3 and yes !! just not in the religious way aksdjj normally we have family over all week and celebrate w a christmas lunch! and my cousins and i do a secret santa thing too <3 what about you? i hope you're staying well and warm!! it's very hot where i live rn since it's summer so i'm trying to stay cool but i hope you're well!
