Omg you do SMF requests?? Could you please write something for Trix. I don’t have a plot in mind. I’m open for anything!

I do :) thank you so much for sending this over lovely. I hope this is ok and feel free to request anymore you can think of.

You walk into the bathroom and lean over the tub to turn on the hot water before pouring in your favourite muscle relaxing bubble bath. As lovely as the bath currently looked and as much as you wanted to climb in yourself, it was actually for your boyfriend Taehyun, better known as world class krump dancer Trix.

He was currently doing a work shop today and had left the house at 7am. You knew that he would be exhausted when he got home, so you decided to take care of him tonight. Just as you were swirling your fingers through the water to make sure it wasn't too hot, you hear the front door open and a loud sigh come from the living room.

'Long day?' you asked with a smile as you walked into the room, all he could do is nod in return. 'I have just finished running you a bath and once your out, there is some chicken porridge on the stove which I can serve when you're ready' you said leaning against the table. A small smile appears on his face as he walks over to you. 'Can I just get a hug first?' he asks before you pull him into your arms. On stage he had such a dominating presence and people who don't know him could find him quite intimidating, but in reality he's just a big softie who just wants to be loved. You break away slightly from the hug before bringing your hands to cup his face and you lean in to press a small kiss against the tip of his nose. 'Why don't you get in the bath and relax whilst I heat up your food' you smile. 'Thank you' he says, looking directly into your eyes. 'It's ok, I had some spare time after work, its no biggie' you respond. 'No, thank you for always looking after me, I don't know what I would do without you' he half whispers before pressing his lips against yours in the most loving and delicate of kisses. 'Wait, where are we going?' you question, as he suddenly lifts you off your feet and starts walking to the bathroom. 'I've decided I physically can't be away from you tonight, so it looks like your joining me' he winked at you. Maybe he still had a little energy left over after all.

Fall Out Boy So Much (for) Stardust

~First Impressions~ Review: First let's talk about what everyone else is saying and then I'll go track by track. "Love From The Other Side was misleading" "The album is very 80s inspired" "We're getting Folie A Deux 2.0" "Disappointing." While yes, LFTOS may be more in your face than the others, it was the "omg Guitars!" people who misled themselves. FOB is my top favorite band so I know better than to make inferences based on the first single. Yes it feels very 80s with the rhythmic drums, uppity messages, and what has to be direct references to other earlier artists but lucky for me, my favorite genre is that 80s influenced happy guitar music and one can't help but to compare this album to Patrick Stump's solo album Soul Punk. The evolution feels natural; Soul Punk - ambitious but underdeveloped, Mania - well produced but wrong audience, So Much (for) Stardust - right ideas right execution. I was hoping for a Folie 2.0 actually, it's my favorite album and I think we've evolved enough to appreciate another bass riddled, poetic, solemn-happy album. This is definitely not another Folie. If anything it's a Mania 2.0 but there's some moments in songs, some lines that remind me of Folie. That's the beauty with this band, you can really feel everyone's contribution to this album. Pete's lyrics unchanged from the early days, Patrick's soul made futuristic, and of course Andy and Joe's experienced-rock artistry. The songs are cohesive and the lyrics bounce well between gleeful and nostalgic however, I would like to hear more from the guys about the message they were wanting to get across this time around. Lastly, if I had to pick a single gripe with this album, it would be that its not what I needed the moment that I first listened. When listening to new albums, I look for two things "Does it make me dance and/or does it completely enthrall me?" At the exact same time, Babymetal dropped their new album The Other One and after a still listen to SMFS, I found myself bobbing along to Babymetal. This doesn't mean it's not a dance album. I just wasn't in the mood for an 80s jam. Now if you asked me to describe the album in one word or put me on the spot, I don't hate it and I don't love it YET. I enjoyed listening to it and my one word would be, "It's creative."

Track by track listed below.

When I was putting this together I used emojis to remember my train of thought. See if you can decipher them and if they're ones you would've used lol.

Love from the Other Side (I didn't even think to put an emoji here) What can I say, it's a good song. I've had more time to sit with this one. Learned the words, the bass line, and all of Patrick's vocal inflections. There's nothing new that can be said.

Heartbreak Feels So Good🎈🫂 When this song first came out I remember feeling my heart drop. I was freshly surrounded by the idea that this album would finally be a rock album and then I heard the opening which sounds a little too much like Let Me Love You by DJ Snake and Justin Bieber and I immediately thought, "Oh God, another Mania." But that mentality conflicts with the actual grit of the song (Also, I enjoy Mania). It feels like a heartbreak song. Like a "Remembering the good times, the bad times, and having a cry over what it used to be." Like a Jet Pack Blues or Favorite Record. It's catchy, it's good, and it's relatable.

Hold Me Like a Grudge👑😀 Again, the opening sounds too much like Another One Bites The Dust for it to be non-coincidental. The descriptive word I got for this is "fun." (Future me here, there's literally a line that goes, "You put the "fun" into dysfunction" This was not intentional). I like the way the lyrics are sung, like half of this album borders on being raps. It's got the same sentiment as early FOB with the, "You can hate me but my life is glitter" idea and it's a certified bop, solid song.

Fake Out🍬💋 It's sweet. Cute. Kisses. Lovey, lovely. I like it, I don't know what else to say.

Heaven, Iowa👩‍🎤 This song is a full blown power ballad. It's beautiful. It kinda tricks you starting off slow but the slow build is worth the pay off. I love the melancholic or maybe nostalgic instrumentals. You know, I was scared of this being another City In A Garden (I don't know, if I see a location in the title and think "Not another song about Chicago" Chicago isn't even in Iowa???) This is one of the standout tracks on this album.

So Good Right Now (co-writer: Robert Byrd) This might be the shortest song on here at two minutes and fifty-eight seconds and instead of an emoji, I'm leaving you with this information. Clearly influenced by the vocalizations of Little Bitty Pretty One and the try-hard feel-good vibes makes the fact that they credited multiple writers on this one laughable. Half of it is just repeating the "So good right now" and while a quick little break from the songs with messages is totally excusable it's definitely the weakest of the whole album.

The Pink Seashell❓️What is this. What does it mean, how does it relate to the album's story? After the whole "red-herring" promotional material, the Pink Seashell Beach homage here is hilarious. It reminds me of the lyric, "The time my dad caught me a horseshoe-crab and I asked if throwing it back into the sea would bring our luck back," (This Shipped (Gold) Standard).

I Am My Own Muse🎸SMASH ALL THE GUITARS WE GOT TO THROW THIS YEAR AWAY. I like this song. No really you can't go wrong with an orchestral instrumental. It's catchy, it's eerie, it's demanding. The violins ARE the moment. It's great.

Flu Game🐒 I also really like this song because it reminds me of Fall Out Boy's cover of I Wan'na Be Like You (I'm so obsessed with the live version) and that one part from One & Only by Timbaland. The swinging drum beat and the funky nanananana's. The cocky lyrics, the ATTITUDE, the harmonies. It feels so Patrick Stump. This is a song I wanna sing at the top of my lungs.

Baby Annihilation📝 So I heard ONE person say this before listening to this "song" and it kinda warped my perception. The spoken poetry at the end of 20 Dollar Nose bleed was brilliant. It worked with the tone of the album, it was unique and original for FOB, and what makes their lyrics so great is Pete's poetic inclination. However, 15 years later, a grown man reading a mediocre poem unaccompanied, unexpected, unwarranted, is not as edgy and impactful as it could have been. (Update I forgot about Get Busy Living and im starting to change my mind). I think what would have made this work is if they stuck to one spoken part, one intermission, either this or The Pink Seashell. OR space the two songs out more evenly. These should act as segues into a new part of the album's story. The second half of the album is just as strong as the first so these breaks feel unnecessary (Disclaimer: I could read and enjoy Pete's poetry for days on end but let's not kill the momentum here)

The Kintsugi Kid (Ten Years) 🔟🕙 This song feels like an ode to the mmrs and its a sweet somber one. It's also 100% an 80s movie-prom dance-song choice-moment and the dog barking at the end is adorable and reminds me of something (It's gotta be a movie reference but I can't place it (Also I'm pretty sure it's a human girl impersonating a dog, though I imagine it's the dog on the album cover)). However, this is where you learn that I hate slow songs on albums and this is the slowest one rhythmically. Sure if it comes on in a random playlist I am more likely to enjoy it but as of right now I have no strong opinions. I will say as we're nearing the end of the album, one might start to get weary. There are a lot of songs on this album so I find that slow songs have better luck near the middle point of the album.

What a Time to Be Alive🎥 This one totally feels like it should be playing during a montage or ending sequence in a teen-family movie. The song feels like a happy "what a time to be alive, everything is so sweet" but it's Fall Out Boy and it's pandemic themed so it for sure is a "what a time to be alive, this shit sucks."

So Much (for) Stardust 👍FAV FAV FAV The instrumental at the beginning reminds me of early 2000s RnB ballads. It feels like another "Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy," (Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes). It's the, "yeah we're famous but look at what we lost on the way, what we had to sacrifice, was it worth it?" It's the Folie mentality and I eat it up every time. It works so well with this band when you know about all the struggles they dealt with in their personal lives. Pete's Bipolar Disorder and the various affairs and tabloids, Patrick's modesty, weight, solo career, hair line (dude?), Joe's mental health and his role in the band, and Andy's... I don't know, Andy is just there. It's no secret that the fame was hard on them so FOB, you guys are all wrong, I want to hear you sing about tragedy. Not to mention the choir that comes in at the end and Patrick's ability to riff and belt and just get jiggy with the rhythm is freakin' gorgeous. This song is the most perfect icing on this cake. It's a beautiful fade out and the repetition of the "You were the sunshine of my lifetime, what would you trade the pain for? I'm not sure," is pure excellency. What a wrap around. This song balances despair with hope. It's melancholic, it's upbeat, it's desperate yet it comes across like anyone could feel the same emotions. And let me also just say I'm so happy they featured a classic Pete Pun™ in the song (and album) title. I've read nearly all of dear Peter's livejournals and blog posts and he does this so often that it's endearing to see in 2023.

I wanna rate this album a strong 8.5/10 <3

i feel like smf is more restrictive than swf. mnet is choosing which songs they’ll perform to for each mission in smf… which made sense for the first mission (dancers were split into respective classes for a performance vid). but for the mega crew, they had to incorporate one of mnet’s song into their performance. just jerk did a really good job making it work but if u watch the other crews, it felt v awkward (e.g. we dem boyz mega crew). for the next episode, mnet invited female dancers where they will choose which smf crew to perform with. and they most likely will dance to a song of mnet’s producing…. at least in swf, the crews got to select their songs and outfits that fit their performance theme.

granted i don’t know much about dance competitions but i feel like this limits the crew’s potential to show their creativity/identity. these missions in smf are boring and frustrating… started watching just jerk’s videos after their appearance on smf, and they are soooooo good. but i don’t feel like they have really gotten the chance to do anything (outside of the mega crew performance) on this show. another rant about mnet 🥲 what’s new. but also there’s a korean b-boy show called SHOWDOWN, and omg it’s just so much better than whatever mnet is trying to do with dance. the missions are fun and it’s nice to learn more about the genre.

hmmmm i've kind of been sensing that from the few things i've seen so far. i haven't seen all of the mega crew missions yet, just just jerk's and whoever did the cowboy one with sehun (1million? i don't remember i wasn't paying attention). i am a bit surprised at the whole forcing them to integrate a song thing, that's a bit overbearing and unnecessary, and i agree it does somewhat limit the creativity of the crews. i mean, none of this is representative of actual competitions at all, but in terms of other competition shows, usually there's a team of show stylists from the producers that pull ideas and talk with the dancers in terms of what works for the performance etc etc.

omg no way that's cool!! i'll have to look for it, who's producing it??

[sanstropfremir]

swf anon :) we’re getting a leaders show with taeyong as mc!! the premise is them mentoring those who are passionate about dance but not actual professional dancers!! airing before the male spinoff, hopefully mnet will give us the content we deserve. need more of monika in her element

but also did u see the smf auditions? not sure how the show will be structured because there are many individual auditions as opposed to dancers joining as an established group (the show date was pushed back because they were unable to cast enough dance crews). kasper auditioned as a solo + ex-infinite hoya too

OMG LEADERS SHOW????? pls i want more monika so badddd

i didn't see the smf auditions!! to be fair i haven't looked because i've been very busy for the last month but kasper!!!! AND hoya!!!! i was wondering what hoya was up to and now i know! i hope they both make it, it would be nice to see them on the show
