#we dk what's going on behind the scenes and i'm sure a lot of us are aware of how long the process of making an album/ep/mini can be

i'm sorry but any time i go on krystal's ig page, i get instant regret. the number of people i've seen pressure her into releasing music is unbelievable.

I don't have anything else to say but the mindset of so many ppl taking nothing serious and not caring abt cancel culture or accountability or looking at history combined so perfectly with these last 8 yrs of increasingly open and vitriolic bigotry to the point where this shit fucking happened. And I saw it from miles away, I saw it get worse every year and still so many ppl either started to disengage or act like all these ppl are crazy and bad but its not that serious. They dk that the ppl who want to oppress us care a lot more than we dont. Elon musks million dollar giveaway was given the green light two days ago which I'm sure helped. As fucking illegal as that clearly should be this election was bought by rich ppl. Its like everyone forgot so many conservatives are rich ppl who wanna stay rich, and will pay to convince their supporters to do anything for them. I'm just so scared for palestine it's making me sick because that was my biggest fear they're fucking evil. Ill do what i can but how was this not more important to everyone else.. I'm so disturbed seeing my state have less than 30 out of 120+ districts blue... like oh. Wow. Everyone loves this fascist, thats genuinely insane

Do yall realize how hard we rubberbanded back into yt supremacy after obama got in office. So hard that it completely fucked up the political scene irreversibly, removed any type of decorum left and turned it into a cult of personality. Like one of the most important parts of change is handling all the conservative backlash that comes w it. We do not make progress in this country w/o strong opposition from the status quo, but when everyone acts like nothing matters anyway it's impossible. I'm so serious just the reaction to cancel culture by itself basically amplified and was applied to every single aspect of society for most ppl. That is maybe the scariest result bc we just watched them plan and admit to doing some of the most horrific things time and time again with no consequences. Saying how they'll make all marginalized ppls lives miserable and destroy the election process and idk

It's just insane there's too much to how this all played out but the point is im sad and frustrated asf. If Elon musk dropped dead 4 fucking yrs ago there's at least a smaller chance this would've ever occurred. I don't feel safe going anywhere rn bc this whole week there's trump supporters on every block. Seriously.. but the important part is to not make like so many ppl not affected deeply by marginalization and fucking give up. It's just depressing asf feeling like wow yall rlly hate poc. And queer ppl. And disabled ppl. Or thought bigotry was solved bc u see representation a little more and stopped caring abt the deeply systemic issues still affecting us everyday. But whatever, im just prepping myself mentally knowing things will be going downhill for a while.. I doubt it but I hope some ppl have a fucking wake up call and rlly start caring more. Fr like the only way I can cope w this is doing more research so I feel less insane abt all of it, and spreading awareness which I rlly need to I'm j so mentally behind rn

And so frustrating too the way the US is such a corrupt imperialist country that this result affects everybody else. But ppl barely understand the politics in this country much less care abt all the other ppl this parasite of a collection of states ruins. It sucks to live w this but it is a privilege to have the right to vote and change things. Like I get why ppl get so fucking annoyed w Americans bc being this ignorant and complacent in fascism is pathetic. Knowledge and history has never been more imperative than right now

SVT (Vocal and Performance Team):

S/O fangirling over Monsta X or Got7

Jeonghan

You two were on his bed, it was late evening and you just finished dinner half an hour ago. Now you were on your phone and playing the new Monsta X song for the hundreth time. Jeonghan was paying attention to the tv but bobbed his head in the beat of the song. „It‘s actually a good song“, he said eventually and looked at you when you whimpered or waved your hand for air. He wouldn‘t mind that you weren‘t paying much attention to him, he loved to see you happy. Still, he‘d lay his head on your shoulder and watch it together with you.

Joshua

„Joshuaaa! He‘s so talented! Look at that dance break, holy-“, he‘d fall on the couch next to you and watch the video as eager as you. He would probably don‘t be that talkative while watching as you but there would be a lots of ‚Ohhh‘ and proud head-shakes from him. When the video‘s done, he would giggle at your cute face, that still had that happy, excited expression on it. „Okay, one more time!“ „Yayyy!“, you‘d kiss him on his cheek and cuddle against you.

Woozi

Jihoon would be on his laptop while you had your head laid on his shoulder and watched the comeback stage performance of ‚Shine Forever‘. Every two seconds you‘d whine and sing along here and there. „Ahh I.M. Shownu, yesssssssss“, sometimes you just repeat the beat of the song. Jihoon wouldn‘t mind if you kept fangirling over them, it wasn‘t annoying and he was happy when you were happy. „Their vocals are no joke, hm?“, you asked and got a ‚Hm‘ as in ‚Yes‘ back. „And their visuals make me question if there even are people that can at least be compared to their beauty? I mean look at them, every man looks like a trashbag next to them!“, now he looked up. „Wow, thank you for hanging out with a trashbag then“, he grumbled which made you crack up. „I mean I would hang out with Jooheon but I guess we don‘t get what we want?“, you giggle and after he sighed and was ready to leave the bed, you quickly hugged him like a koala. „You know I‘m jokinnnng, I have the cutest trashbag here that ever existed!“, he tried so hard not to laugh but failed and got back on the bed.

DK

You were at home, you on the couch and he in the kitchen and preparing a snack. The new music video of Got7 just came out and all you were doing for the last twenty minutes was streaming it and jumping around because of the video. He quietly sat next to you and saw that you only had eyes for them so he would make remarks to make you see him. „Woah, I can dance like that too.“ „I mean it‘s not even that high, have you heard my angelic voice?“, and so on. You would giggle at his cute comments and after the video was done, you kissed him on the cheek and cuddled against his chest. „I know I know, sorry that I‘m all over them but...the comeback is so strong?“, he giggled at your puppy eyes and you ended up watching the video all day.

Seungkwan

You groan loud, desperate after seeing the ‚Stuck‘ music video again. „Seungkwannnn“ „Yes? You need something?“ „The only thing I need now is holy water because“, you groan again and shove the phone in his face. „That choreo! The high notes! The rap! How?“, you whine around which makes Seungkwan roll his eyes amused. He watches with you. „Kihyun literally is the most beautiful man I have ever laid my eyes on, he‘s too perfect!“ „Hey...yesterday you said that I am the most beautiful man you had ever laid your eyes on“, he pouted and crossed his arms so you look up at him and giggle. You lay the phone away and wrap your hands around his shoulders and lean against him. „Sorry, baby, that was of course true.“ „Thank you.“ „But Kihyun is second place!“, he gasped dramatically but then laughed. „Well, at least he‘s behind me, that‘s all that I wanted to hear.“

Jun

You guys would be in the living room together just going through some channels trying to find something that seemed interesting to the both of you, which would be a much harder task than you'd think. After about half an hour you would just sigh theatrically which would make him grin at you. "You're so dramatic, let's just watch some music show or something!", he'd say which would make you pout slightly but nod. You just turned on some chart show and then finally cuddled into Jun who basically was waiting for this the whole time. You guys would lazily hum to the songs you'd know and just make some funny remarks and give compliments to the artists. After a while the song 'Lullaby' by Got7 would appear on the screen which would make you sit up abruptly again, much to his displeasure. He would let out a small whine due to your sudden absence but you wouldn't even hear him, you would be too caught up by the music video. Whenever Yugyeom would appear on the screen you would just smile really brightly and let comments out like 'Ah his voice is so nice!' or 'He dances so well, wow'. You'd pretty much have heart eyes at this point. Jun would just pout and look at you while you'd be gushing over Yugyeom. After the mv would be over you'd try to cuddle back into Jun and give him all of your attention again but he'd cross his arms over his chest so you couldn't cuddle him. "Baby, can you open your arms?", you'd ask him with a smile on your face but he would just shake his head like a small child which would make you giggle softly. "Whyyyy?" "Go cuddle Yugyeom...", he'd whisper which would make you laugh and shake your head. "No! I wanna cuddle you baby! Don't be jealous.." "but you were literally fangirling over him! Do you act this way when I'm on screen?" "No, when you're on screen I completely lose it! Ah, especially when you look into the camera like you always do... that doesn't compare to Yugyeom at all", you'd say while dramatically grabbing onto your chest where your heart would be which would make him laugh now. "Ah you really are dramatic, y/n-ah, but okay... i'll accept this.", he'd say with a smile on his face which would make you smile brightly at him. "You're so handsome baby... and your performances, damn. And when you go through your hair with your hand.." "Stooooooop", he'd blush slightly after you'd cover him with compliments, you both would end up in each others arms and just giggle, completely forgetting the music show on TV.

Hoshi

Soonyoung and you would be laying in bed both of you having your headphones in while watching some videos on your phones. Your head would be on his chest and your legs would be intertwined with his, so even though you weren't really doing anything together, you'd still be enjoying each others presences. He would be watching some interviews or the latest dance practice video to see how he could improve even more while you'd simply watch some variety shows. After a while you'd end up watching Monsta x-ray, like always, and you'd just laugh your ass off while watching them doing some weird things. Soon Soonyoung would be rather confused about why you were laughing so hard, he loved seeing you laugh but he definitely wouldn't be used to you laughing this much. He would be curious to see what made you laugh and just look at your phone, after he'd realize what you were watching he'd grin brightly. You'd stop the video and look at him with a smile. "Jooheon is so incredibly funny, I fully understand why you guys are friends, and he's also so cute and nice...", you'd simply say with literal heart eyes which would make him laugh. "I know right? Even in real life! He's so cool and funny! I have so much fun with him, and their music is so good!" "Agreed! Shoot out was so good! Jooheon is such a good rapper, I always get goosebumps", you'd say which would make him nod enthusiastically. "I know right!!! Also their concerts are so nice! They have so much stage presence!", he'd say excitedly which would make you laugh. You'd both take off your headphones and just talk about Monsta X. You guys would be literally fangirling together which would make the whole scene look hilarious. You may be a Monbebe, but Soonyoung is the ultimate monbebe out there so you'd both have lots of fun talking about all of them. "I thought I'm the fangirl here, turns out you're even more of a fangirl than I am" (He might even take you with him when he goes out with them so you'd see how funny they were even in real life)

The8

"Not gonna lie, Shoot out was such a good comeback, have you seen Shownu? And Kihyun? Also I.M's rap? Also the dance? Wow. That's art right there!", you just couldn't help it but talk about the MV the whole day ling which would make Minghao just smile fondly at you. He wouldn't be the type to really get jealous, he'd rather be caught up by the passion in your eyes when you would be talking about them and their music in general. He would find it incredibly cute how you'd stumble over your words while trying to describe just how much you loved their new comeback and album. He would have probably been the one that had already gotten you the album since he'd have a lot of connections. He'd just know how passionate you'd be about Monsta X and he'd love to support you. He would give you the album after he heard you talking about how much you'd want it. "Baby... you're so good to me!", you'd fondly say while hugging him tightly. "You really like them... and you're really passionate about them so, why not support you?", he would be so supportive oh my god. He would also make sure you'd be able to go to their concerts and get some of their merch. "They're really your favorite band, huh?", he'd ask with a bright smile on his face which would make you giggle slightly. "They're second place... i love seventeen more...", you'd state while looking at him fondly. "Ah, is that so?", he'd ask teasingly. "Definitely... also if you didn't notice, you're my favorite!" "I sure hope I am!" "... Jun's really close to becoming number one tho, just so you know" "I'll take your album back" "I'm just joking baby!!!!", you both would just laugh together and support each other in every way possible.

Dino

"Jackson is really fit...", you'd randomly say while being too caught up in Got7's mv 'Hard Carry'. Chan would be sitting next to you on the couch watching the MV with you. "I mean... he's okay" "And his smile is really handsome!" "I mean-" "and he dances really well!", he'd look at you slightly offended but you wouldn't really notice until the mv would have ended. After seeing his expression you'd probably start laughing since he'd just look too cute to handle. "Why are you so offended, baby?" "You're basically fangirling over him!" "No I'm not!", he'd proceed to look at you with an expression that would say 'yeah, right' which would make you sigh slightly. "Okay.. maybe I'm fangirling slightly!" " 'Slightly', you're basically drooling! That's not good! You should be drooling over me!", he'd say with big eyes which would make you giggle softly at his actions, in his head he probably seemed like a cool boyfriend but in your eyes he just seemed like a lost puppy. "I'm not drooling over him, baby... but I can't deny that he looks really, really good!", you'd tease him which would make Chan glare at you. "I look better!" "Hmm... well...", he'd glare even more and that's when it would start. That boy, oh my god. He would literally look for his best pictures and compare them to Jacksons, he also would show you his best stages and dances which would just make you laugh and tease him even more. "You're so cute, Channie", you'd simply say after he'd give you the 56th argument on why he was better than Jackson. You would sit on his lap and hug him tightly which would make him shut up for a second. "I'm just joking baby.. you know I actually think that you're much better than him, right?" "... obviously, look at me!", you'd just laugh at his offended expression and kiss him slightly which would finally make him smile again. "But you gotta admit that he does actually look good.", he would roll his eyes with a smile still on his face, but after a while he'd give in and nod. "I mean... he doesn't look bad, I guess.." "but you're more handsome" "Thank you, that was obvious", you'd both just continue joking about it and just have a good time.
