➙ IT was a lonely night at the company of your bedroom in your home. the dark clouds and skies outside represent how you felt inside as the days kept going by without laying next to your lover’s side. even though you had seen him just a couple of days ago at a party, you still miss him.

you huffed dramatically as you stared at your laptop that was currently playing your favorite rom com. although it was your favorite show, you weren’t really entertained by watching it. something was missing, elliot. you basically had it on for background noise at this point.

as you laid down on your bed, your head continued to drift off to your boyfriend and you started thinking about how the other day you went out and bought an outfit for him without letting him know. a baby pink lacy one piece that hugged all of your curves so deliciously, you're sure it would’ve driven him absolutely crazy if he had seen it on you.

with a smirk pulling at your lips, you placed your laptop away and sat it on your nightstand. your body moving up and out of your bed to the shopping bag across your room where the lace was still contained in. your opened hands went inside of the bag and pulled out exactly what you were looking for. the beautiful pink clothing, a little smile pulling at your lips as you put the outfit against your body. eyes flicking up to look at your full body mirror that was a few inches ahead of you.

satisfied with the sight of yourself, you giddily start to take off your pj’s and replace them with the lingerie piece. walking up closer to the mirror, you began to pull the straps up around your shoulders, securing your boobs into the cups of the one piece while so. you looked at the mirror once more, making some final adjustments before you actually took the sight of your body in fully. the piece clanged to your skin so beautifully. the pink color illuminating and complimenting your beautiful, ebony skin so prettily.

you watched yourself with so much awe and a smile. being a person who was once so insecure in the past and seeing yourself now being comfortable in your own skin was something big to you. something elliot helped you with so tremendously since the day you first met him. you gave yourself a little thumbs up in the mirror before moving to put one of your robes on, tying the strings together. completing the look. you padded over to your bed and quickly snatched up your phone to text your boyfriend. the time on the upper corner of your phone reading 10:05, he should still be up.

with quick fingers you sent him a text, asking if he was awake. within seconds of sending the text you almost immediately got a response back from the boy. his reply being exactly “yea <3” the message making you chuckle to yourself. with the confirmation of him being awake you then pressed the face-time icon and let the phone ring.

after two rings, you saw your boyfriend’s face soon pop up on the screen. elliot was laying down in his bed, some r&b music softly playing in back while he held a blunt in-between his lips. his ruffled blonde hair hiding under a black hoodie that he had on. he looked so good.

“what’s up, baby”

his soft, comforting voice echos out from the speaker of your phone, a wave of smoke escaping his mouth as he speaks the words. a blinding smile taking over your face as soon as you heard his voice.

“hi there, my love” the show of elliot’s teeth from your little pet name makes you giggle and swoon for the boy even more. whether he wants to admit it or not, he can always feel his heart squeeze in happiness every time you called him the endearing name.

“what are you up doing? how was your day today?” you sigh, moving to lay down on your stomach. your legs absentmindedly swinging back and forth as you began responding back to your lover.

“it was alright babe, sat in bed all day… thinking and missing you” you trailed, your voice becoming more playful and teasing towards the end of your sentence. elliot quickly caught on to your words with a low chuckle and little eye roll. “hm, missin’ me already huh?” the blond whispers with a glint in his eye you couldn’t quite make out through the device. his fingers bringing the joint back to his lips for a quick puff before blowing out. he sees you nod your head, your teeth clamping down onto your bottom lip. the look indicating just exactly how much you had missed him.

your eyes scanned over the expanse of his face, his face tats prominent in the lighting that casted over his room. the way he looked while he smoked the weed and the way he started to slowly smirk made you want to melt into a straight puddle. shaking your head and your impending very dirty thoughts away, you start speaking up.

“u-um, how was your day?” elliot hums, a little smile setting on his lips at the change of topic.

“mine was alright as well, made some new samples. smoked, and smoked. pretty much it, it’s so boring without you” you see the boy then fake pout, the scene making you laugh which caused elliot to laugh as well. when both of your laughter died down he had started to notice how your hand kept going off camera to touch something.

“what’s that you’re fiddling with over there, babe” at his question your mouth gaped, not thinking he’ll be able to see it. the truth was, you kept trying to get the body piece from digging up your ass. the thought of saying just that made you giggle internally, you figured now was the right time to reveal what you wanted to show him all this time.

“i, i actually have a surprise for you my love” you can see the way his eyes furrowed together at your words but nodding with a smile all the while. you took that as your cue to move up and out of the lying position you were in, moving to set up your phone on the nightstand against an old water bottle. once it was set up, you began tugging at the bow you placed with the strings of the robe.

immediately coming apart and opening, revealing what you have under. your hands coming up to grip the clothing and removing it away and off of your shoulders. leaving you bare with nothing but the lacy piece on, your body fully revealed to elliot’s eyes through the phone. you took the robe that was in your hands now and threw it in a random corner of your room before settling back down to focus on elliot’s features.

“goddamn…”

was the first word he muttered after a couple of moments passing. the way his face looked almost dumb founded made you sheepishly grin. your hands coming up to trace along the material of the lingerie where you’re breast laid.

“do you like it..?” you whisper out, your fingers teasingly moving to trace the skin of your cleavage. your eyes flickering in every direction of elliot’s face, trying to catch any and every single reaction and movement you possibly can. it was quiet again for a few more moments, your mind starting to take the silence as him not liking it and began to move to the phone to set it down.

“you look so fuckin’ perfect right now…” elliot’s voice groans out lowly, right before your hand could even reach the phone, making you stop your movements.

“really? i was hoping you’ll like it, i got it for you the other day” you quietly quip, scooting back so he could see the entire piece once more. the sound that emits from the boy made you feel good, the sense of satisfaction you always loved to receive from him.

“like it? i love it. i wish i was there to take it off of you myself, angel” elliot appealed, you could see him then move to put his blunt out before he re-appeared back into camera. his eyes now blown out with intense lust. his hand coming up to run his fingers through the black roots of his hair.

“lemme see all of you, angel” you nod your head eagerly, a little too eagerly. your hands then moving to the straps of the bodysuit, pulling it down and freeing your breast out. the mounds instantly falling out of the piece. making elliot practically moan out at the sight.

“shit baby, touch them for me” doing what he asked, you placed your hand on your tits and softly massaged the flesh. a deep sigh leaving you at the feeling of your nails raking over your sensitive nipples. soon enough, feeling the peaks gradually grow stiff and hard as you kept messing with them.

also starting to feel how uncomfortable the piece began feeling due to incoming wetness of your core seeping through the fabric more and more as time kept passing.

“lift your legs and spread them f’me baby, lemme see that pussy of yours” the keen that escaped your lips at his such vulgar words made elliot lazily smirk through the phone, the look of sheer desire plastered clear as day on his face. lifting your legs from your bedroom floor, you placed them on the bed and spread them open to elliot’s eyes just like he had told you. your dainty fingers itching down to the lower part of the bodysuit, moving the only part that covered your most sensitive spot aside. revealing all of you to elliot’s eyes, a whispered “fuck” exiting him as he seen the way your dripping essence drip down from your slit to down below you.

“shit, you’re so wet angel. go ahead n’ touch yourself until i tell you to stop,” when you nod your head you hear the blond boy tsk.

“use your voice, babe. lemme hear you” you let out a shaky “okay” which earned you an affectionate “good girl” from your boyfriend. making you all the more needy and aroused. your fingers now run through your soaked folds, spreading your essence all around before paying attention to your delicate bud. your other hand moving to lift the hood of your clit up, making it easier to make direct contact with it.

“you’re d-doing good, angel. now slip a finger inside” you could tell by the way his voice strained that he was touching himself as well. the thought making your mouth water as you started to fuck your self with your fingers.

“it doesn’t feel the same without your fingers, el” your small voice whimpers out to the guitar player. making him snicker as he kept fisting his cock roughly, momentarily stopping his movements. your fingers weren’t as long as elliot’s and they couldn’t hit the same spots as he could.

“i know baby, it’ll still feel good though. i promise, keep going” for a while it was just yours and elliot’s moans soaking up the room. the both of you just looking at one another while touching yourselves. letting out all of your sounds without a care, remembering how your parents weren’t home. being as loud as you want as you kept imagining it was elliot touching you. bringing you close to falling from the edge.

“fuck— cum angel, cum with me”

morgana: i can have a little unrealistic romantic fantasy. as a treat

arthur: some of y’all weren’t asked out as a joke in middle school and it shows

morgana: how is everyone doing. i’ll go first i’m doing badly

morgana: being a kid was so fucking funny we’d just go around lying to each other’s faces constantly to impress each other one of the knights told me he was the first person to visit the sun and when i asked him what it was like to prove he was lying he said he didn’t remember because they sent him there when he was a baby and to this day the mental image of nasa launching an unsupervised baby into the sun still makes me crack up

elyan: do you wish you were seeing somebody

leon: a therapist

morgause: when you see someone from high school and they don’t recognize you that’s the exact opposite of the mortifying ordeal of being known. the gratifying relief of being forgotten

[texting]

morgana: you seem hard to kill

morgause: aw thank you

morgause: i haven’t been killed yet

morgana: to your knowledge

morgause: what

arthur: when i was younger i really thought that piranhas were going to be a bigger issue for me than they’ve turned out to be

morgause: filling out the depression and anxiety checkboxes at the doctors is always so sad but also very very funny

morgause: i am handed a piece of paper. i check off a box that says “every day i wish i were dead”. i hand back the paper. the paper and its contents are never again discussed.

morgana: unfortunately, due to several experiences in my youth, i cannot just “walk up and join the circle of people talking”, but it does sound lovely thank you

morgana: if someone tried to assassinate me that would make me feel so important and valued and beloved

gwaine: turn down for whom?

mithian: fact: usage of the word “the” has begun to decline. this is because as more and more people become educated, usage of the word “thoum’st” has become more common.

mithian: fanfiction hits different when you’re gay and yearning and haven’t experienced an ounce of romance in your life

morgause: callout for rude baby seen at grocery store

morgause: i’m calling out a baby (approximately 12-14 months old) from the grocery store due to its rudeness. i’m guessing its age based on appearance, motor skills (atrocious) and whatnot. anyway, i smiled at this baby and it just stared at me. as soon as i began to move on, though, the baby said “no!” and started giggling when i turned back around. this happened multiple times. the baby’s actions were toxic and manipulative. the baby was also manhandling a package of dried fruit which wasn’t yet paid for (quite minor) and was just generally sitting around and not helping

gwen: we need to melt down all the pennies and make the statue of liberty a girlfriend

morgause: had a realization in a dream i just had that this isn’t real and i can just do whatever i want and so i started shrinking the face of this guy that was talking to me and then once it got real small i woke up sleep paralyzed

morgause: i was given godlike powers over the universe by realizing it’s all in my head and the first thing i did was use them to torment the nearest man

morgause: and the actual God woke me up and put be into a 5 minute timeout to lay frozen and think about what i’ve done

morgana: does anyone else feel an awkward tension whenever you see another person your age in the grocery store

gwaine: the number 87 kinda looks like a plague doctor

percival: you’ve just changed the fucking game

elyan: [|87

morgana: a lonely bitch...a loner...i love isolation AND detachment

gwaine: calling big bird just “bird” because i do not respect him

morgause: *photo of a pizza in a bad* caught the bae sleepin

mordred: now why would you waste a perfectly good pizza :(

morgause: that “waste” happens to be my wife getting her beauty sleep. think before you speak

gwaine: *finishes wedding vows* don’t forget to like and subscribe

morgana: *is bitter but is also right*

morgana: how dare you not notice me when i’m ignoring you

morgause, killing cenred: men be like i’m bilingual i speak english and over women

gwaine: after i move i really wanna get a used roomba

percival: i love that you’re adopting instead of buying from a breeder

mordred: joking about a kink is a gateway drug into developing said kink

morgana: my kink is mental, emotional, and financial stability

morgause: unrealistic, settle for choking like normal people

gaius: gay people use halloween props as home decor year round

morgana: shut up shut up this black jar with a raven painted on it is holiday-neutral

[texting]

morgause: can you come out?

morgana: yeah gimme a minute

morgana: morgause, i’m gay

morgause: i know that. come out to the car

morgana: car, i’m gay

morgause: God FUCKING damnit i’m such a hopeless romantic one day someone’s gonna say “i love you” and i’m just going to let out an agonized scream so horrible that they immediately change their mind

gaius: i’m not wearing glasses anymore i’ve seen enough

morgause: sorry my battery’s on 96% i gtg

morgause: you hate me? wow you think you’re hot shit and original huh well i hated me first so you can go grab a number and wait your turn

morgana: don’t ignore me ?? i despise being ignored ?? i mean i’m ignoring like 8 people right now but still ???

morgana: shoutout to my favorite coping mechanism, isolation

morgana: the concept of physical beauty is a scam unless you’re calling me cute in which case it is valid, actually

merlin: oh, so when other people go outside it’s “good for their health” and “highly recommended”, it’s only when i do it that it’s a “containment breach” and a “high-level threat to public safety and security”, huh?

gwaine: a charming photo of young john mulaney, seemingly celebrating the kennedy assassination

merlin: princess diana wasn’t john mulaney’s first kill

morgause: hate when i got out in public and the public is there

morgana: it seems the public is no longer in the public

morgause: i’ve won...but at what cost?

morgana: girls will see a chance to commit arson and be like “sorry, i have to take this”

morgause: girls will see a building that’s not on fire and say “is anyone gonna burn that” and not wait for an answer

Conflict & Characterization Exercise / Challenge (Mostly) for Screenwriting

(Note: This exercise can also be performed on written narrative forms like fiction, but it is probably best utilized for visual forms like film/screenwriting. Still, fiction is welcome!)

The art of introducing conflict indirectly is probably one of the most useful tools to a writer of any story form. Sometimes, conflict can be introduced directly, but other times, this isn’t appropriate, or it’s far too on the nose. If you have a character that is avoiding their conflict, or if you don’t want your story to just dump exposition everywhere, then you may want to work on revealing conflict in a more indirect way. This flatters the reader and makes for very smart, realistic storytelling.

One way to practice this is to write a character with an internal, chronic conflict into a setting that has nothing to do with that conflict.

First, you need a chronic conflict. This is usually something internal, but it doesn’t have to be. Chronic just means ongoing, continuous. This is the conflict that has been present in the character since before the story’s beginning. Going back to my previous post, in the movie clip of Wes Anderson’s Rushmore, Bill Murray’s character’s chronic conflict is his loneliness, mainly due to his failing marriage.

But, instead of setting that scene in a more direct way, such as Murray walking in on his wife, or catching her on the phone with another guy--he’s at a pool party. He’s performing a mundane task. He’s jumping off a diving board. How he does it is so telling of what he’s feeling, of what his inner conflict is. Certainly, Wes Anderson is very stylistic in his portrayal of this idea, but the basics are obvious to us, even through such an indirect means.

So, here’s the formula for this exercise:

Chronic Conflict + Unrelated Setting = Scene

You can come up with this yourself, but you want the setting to be as random and unrelated as possible. If a character just got dumped, they can’t meet their ex randomly; they can’t be stuck alone on Valentine’s Day.

I’ve also made a list of possible things prompts for this exercise below (keep reading). For funsies, you can use these if you’d like! Also, if you want me (or anyone else) to comment or give critique on your exercise, reblog your response to this!

Directions: Use the first letter of your Tumblr username, and the date (number) of your birthday to choose your prompt. If you want to do this multiple times, you can pick a random letter & number out of a hat or something.

Try to make your scenes as indirect as possible; do your best not to TELL us what the conflict is, and instead use your setting/task to SHOW us what the character is going through. Don’t directly inform us that Bob just went through a divorce as he orders a latte; show us how a divorced man would ask for a latte. How many ways are there to order a latte? See if you can come up with a way that really indicates the conflict as well as possible.

(Note: If you want to do this in a fiction format, you may. If you want to write a screenplay but don’t know how, feel free to write out a simple narrative summary or outline of the scene.)

*rough* review of MOTS:7

The title might say review, but it’s really just my own thoughts that I want to share in the form of verbal vomit. STREAM while u read.

1) Interlude: SHADOW I loved the song right away on first listen. The extended version is soooo good, because it traces back to yoongi’s iconic ‘I want big house, big cars, big rings’ line from NMD. Thematically, this is my favourite concept out of the 3 rap line solos (Persona, Shadow & Ego). Yoongi songs all immediately reasonate with me because the stuff he writes about are what I’ve experienced at one point in my life.... and I feel so deeply when yoongi is rapping about it. At this point, I could go on forever about why I love yoongi songs so much but I will stop here.

2) Black Swan

It took me about three listens to fully appreciate the song, but I KNEW I was going to love it when I heard that trap beat and the bump bump bump lyric... Then I watched the performance, and I just loved it even more. For years, I’ve been fervently wishing that bts (especially jimin) would do a contemporary dance and I AM SO GLAD THEY DID!! Speaking of the dance, that’s another analysis on it’s own.... The way they match the dance steps to the lyrics.... Also this song lined up right after shadow makes perfect sense because Shadow talks about losing yourself into the deepest and darkest recesses of your soul while in Black Swan, the boys step into that shadow and confront it because they realise you have to make peace with your shadow to emerge triumphant.

3) Filter

I swear, this could be an Alec Benjamin song because this song has Alec Benjamin VIBES all over. Well, I guess jimin took inspiration from him because he put a ton of alec’s songs on his spotify playlist and even went to his concert so yey! Both their voice tones are similar ish because it’s very distinct and their singing voices are quite different from their speaking voices so it’d be really cool if they made a song together. Funnily enough, I don’t really like this song as much as I thought I’d would. It’s not a bad song, but I think I don’t gravitate to this song as much because this song was written about jimin for jimin and it’s really himself that he’s singing it to.

This song also radiates BIG libra energy. Libras love changing and moulding their personalities to please other people and they put on various personas to showcase the multi-faceted sides of themselves (sorry, just a huge astrology enthusiast here lolol). Filter has a narcissist undertone to it done in a purposeful manner. The protagonist of this song KNOWS he’s desired and is flaunting it in any way possible. They are aware of the power they hold and are wielding it to control the listener (the pursuers) Ahahaha sounds like someone we know? Recently, I told a friend that Jimin is really good at fan service. He’s the idol of idols, his face and name gets recognised first, everyone wants to be him AND be with him.... To sum it up, filter is jimin showing the world that he has many sides and it doesn’t matter which we are going to choose because he can adapt to whichever one you please (this push and pull reminds me a lot of house of cards hmm...)

4) My Time

Jungkook definitely has some magic where his song always gets to me and I immediately like the song. I think he excels in laying out his emotions bare and this creates a perfect canvas for telling his story. I definitely cannot relate to what he talks about in My TIme because I am not a jetsetting global superstar who vary between time zones (not that I know of), yet I still feel like I’ve been in his exact footsteps and know that feeling. This, my friends, is what true skill looks like. The rarest of musicians are able to write a song about themselves and make it relevant to almost everyone. It’s an impossible task. Yet, this golden maknae has succeeded once again.

In Begin, he talks about leaving Seoul to pursue his dreams and dedicates that song to his 6 members, his 6 newfound brothers, the hardships they go through and again, this hits you hard. You might not have left your hometown at a young age, but everyone has left something or someone behind in their lives. Euphoria ALWAYS makes me melancholic even though I clearly 1) am not young, 2) do not have a first love 3) minus bts, would NOT call anyone the cause of my euphoria but shit, jungkook out here got me feeling things and tearing up.

Thank you jungkook for constantly expressing your thoughts in such a clear way in any song you write, and My Time is no exception (and it sounds like such a r&b banger too)

5) Louder than Bombs

TROYE! SIVAN! You absolutely can hear troye’s fingerprints all over this song because this song sounds like a troye song (in the best way possible, because I looooove troye and his music) This is another classic “happy sounding but sad af lyrics” bangtan moment. Louder than Bombs is a good midway point in the album because they are crossing into the sad, aggressive, heart tearing, no bullshit songs territory.

(I don’t have a lot to say about this because I really love this song and sometimes with songs that I like, I just sit back and enjoy for what it is.)

6) ON

OKAY NOW LET’S GET INTO FORMATION! (yes, this was the first thing that it reminded me of hahaha and her superbowl half time performance had a marching band too) THIS.IS.SUCH.AN.ABSOLUTE.EARWORM. I LOVE IT. The 30 second preview made me so intrigued because it only featured the “hey na na na” part so I wondered what ON would sound like. I was NOT expecting it to sound like that, but what can I say? BTS always blows me away with their title tracks.

Speaking of formation, hooooo boy do I love the formation of this choreography. Mad props to The Lab for pulling this out of their hat because IT IS SO IMPRESSIVE. The set up reminds me of dionysus too, in the way that the choreography is being arranged in the live performances. Big ups to the Blue Devils marching band too, because even though you can’t really see much of them in the mv (or maybe I’m too focused on the boys lol) but you can hear the marching band so much clearer in the audio and I am LIVING for it. Overall, I am utterly thrilled by this masterpiece.

7) UGH!

*gunshots* alright back to 2013 bangtan let’s go. UGH, when will rap line stop making a banger? never I guess, UGH. lord, just let me get dissed by rap line once and then life would be better.

I. fucking. love. the. rap. line. I am definitely not smart enough to try to analyse or decipher the lyrics even with translations because their wordplay is on a whole other level. With cyphers and ddaeng, I really shouldn’t be surprised anymore but I still am. They manage to outdo themselves with every new song they release together. RM, Suga and J-Hope are great on their own but you put them TOGETHER? in one STUDIO? god help us all when this is performed live because someone’s gonna get headbanged out of the venue. I’ll end this with a silent prayer for a rap line concert.....

8) 00:00

This song is so, so, so painful. This song is what Tonight is to me. Ok I’m going to get a whole lot more personal here.

I was in a fucking terrible internship last year during the period Persona was released (I’m actually quite thankful this song wasn’t released then or I’d really have full on goblin ugly cry listening to this). That was the worst job experience I’ve ever had in my life (lao tian ye please don’t deal me any more shitty hands). I spent every day wishing that my misery would end soon and I physically did not want to go to work the next day. Every morning, I was almost crying to have to get up to go to work (and because it was an almost 2 hour journey to the office). By the time I reached home, all I could do was eat (if I had an appetite) and retire to my room and lie on the floor and just stare into my ceiling while mindlessly scrolling through social media looking for some sort of solace. Some days, even bts wasn’t doing it for me. Even though I managed to get out of that hellhole before the end date, the trauma (lol can I call it that?) and emotions stayed with me throughout the rest of the year. Only one friend knew I had depression and constantly asked me about it (thank you friend, even though you won’t read this...) and I even looked up therapists in singapore.

The lyrics ‘An unsettling night, suddenly, I look at the clock. Soon, it’s 12 O’Clock. Will something change. It probably won’t be the case’ hits so hard because this describes my situation to a T. By the time I got home, it was about 8.30 and by the time I snapped out of my mindlessness, it was almost midnight and this cycle just carried on for months.

Zero O’Clock

And you gonna be happy

Midnight is both a happy and sad hour, because for some it could signal the end of their misery or their happiness. Back then, it was my hell because it meant a new hellish day was approaching. Looking back now, I realise it could have been a tiny form of happiness because it meant that the days are passing and the end to my pain was getting closer.

So thank you Jin, Jungkook, V and Jimin for creating such a beautiful song that I didn’t know would end up being so personal. Putting aside the meaning, it is such a great song that I’d put on repeat. But I’m scared to call this a favourite because of how intimate this is for me so I hope y’all understand. But, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

9) Inner Child

This sounds like it should be a in a drama or anime haha. The “whoa ohhhh” vocals in the backgrounds reminds me a lot of Jet Lag too. Inner Child is a very fitting title because as V described, it is a letter to his past self. As an ARMY, I’ve witnessed how much V has matured over the past few years. I mean even though all of the members have also grown, V’s transformation is the one that stands out the most (at least to me). Tae went from a bright eyed outgoing kid to a still outgoing but deeply contemplative adult in front of millions of adoring fans and strangers alike, and I cannot imagine how that must be like for him. V is a notoriously private person, and we know the least about if you reeeally think about it. I will never (nor do I want to) know what goes through his mind but I appreciate the fact he reveals a tiny glimpse of it in his songs (scenery, winter bear and now inner child).

10) Friends

CAN YOU SPELL SOULMATES? NO YOU CAN’T, BECAUSE THERE IS NO VMIN IN IT. Ships are cute and all, but vmin has trascended beyond what ships are and I’m convinced they are all part of a bigger plan arranged by the Almighty that no matter what happens, they will always find each other in their four lives (can you tell I’ve been watching Goblin lolol). Recently, I was listening to a podcast by Jae and the episode was about the probability of soulmates. One of the questions he posed was what is a soulmate? To me, I believe that soulmates exist in many forms. There are the romantic soulmates (hi glenn & benn), friendship soulmates, family soulmates, strangers soulmates and even a bond between a pet and a human. I now think there should be another category of soulmates and that is vmin. *cries I want what vmin have* Not everyone manages to find their soulmates. The lucky ones do, and the rest of us will have to settle for second best.

Also kudos to Jimin for his first ever produced song! woohoo

11) Moon

When I first read that this was a song about Jin’s love for ARMY, I braced myself for a full waterfall of tears. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how happy this song sounds??? (thanks jin for not making me cry again like tonight did). Now that I think about it, of course Jin would make a happy love song (pffft saggis). As we all know, Jin’s way of comforting himself is to comfort others through laughter, smiles and lotsa dad jokes. No one else but Jin would and I love him even more for this. He takes the idea of what you’d think a love song would sound like and turn it around. SAD? NOT IN JINHIT ENTERTAINMENT.

Jin, know that you are more than a handsome face and the oldest member. You are loved more than you think you are. You think you’re the moon to us? No hun, you are the entire galaxy contained in those worldwide shoulders.

12) Respect

My favourite track. I mean starting with that iconic “should I stay or should I go” line? Genuis. Collab of the year. Namgi of the year. Ok, maybe I am slightly (alot) bias since this song is essentially Suga, RM & El Capitixn (yes, THE El Capitixn that helped to produce DDAENG).

Namgi dynamics are so rarely talked about because most people see them as the underground rapper duo who’ve known each other over 10 years and are old friends and that’s about it. Their dynamics just gets to me even more because the trust and respect they have for each other is incredible. Joon looks up to yoongi as an older member and also for his incredible work ethic, while yoongi trusts joon wholeheartedly as their leader even though joon is younger and the way they banter off each other? ugh, where can I get bros like namgi? Their rap and producing styles are so vastly different yet the result that is respect makes ME respect them. Use me as your slave, masters.

bonus: that ending clip of them just having a convo? please share your stories from back in the day, please. I said please. with a cherry on top.

13) We are Bulletroof: the Eternal

Is this MOTS : 7′s answer to Mikrokosmos? I can already imagine this as the ending song of a concert..... A perfect tune to end the album as well. Who knew my attraction to the number seven had a deeper meaning than just simply liking it huh? Is my life preplanned too.... @ universe give me answers. I really like how this song did not go the WABB Part 1 & 2 route and took a softer approacher indeed. It’s almost like they are saying we were seven hardened boys made more tender with the existence of armys.... ok bitch don’t make me cry anymore than I have been suppressing.

“we are not seven, with you” :’))))

14) Outro: Ego

This is the kind of song that gets better the more you listen to it. Not that it was bad on the first listen, but usually such bright and positive songs takes a while longer for the emo in me to process. I say this all the time that I almost sound like a broken recorder, but I LOVE LOVE how hobi has crafted a sound for him that is uniquely his and you will be able to immediately recognise it’s him (which is such a hard feat to pull off, might I add). I’m also immensely proud because he started out as a street dancer to becoming one of the best rappers in the industry while holding his rightful candle alongside two already established rappers that is namgi. I cannot wait to see this being performed live because you just know he’ll get everyone and their grandmas to start vibin right there.

In conclusion, I love bts. what else is there more to say.

A Dream, Bad, and Bruh: ACTUALLY, IT'S A HEY, LOOK, GREG HAS A PURSE! E. EMBROIDERED BOOKBAG. Hehehehe, Frank Griffin here! I am here to explain this funny may-may I found while browsing through the site "r/Loded Diper", place where fellow may-may experts like me share their best funny jokes about Diary of a by Wimpy Kid, a cartoon novel written hohe other than Jeff Kinney. Now, what do have here? If youre familiar with the book, youll recognize that there is Greg Heffley the middle, the protagonist of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. In the original image, Greg stitched a purse, but called it an embroidered handbag" so he won't lose his dignity. However, it doesn't work and he gets called a girl for it. this image Now that the background has been cleared up, let's look It has been posted by u/ThatSippyChicken the 18th 2019 oh may (by UTC time). This means it's very recent, compared to the even funnier Minion memes I share with my grandkids. Greg is surrounded by two unknown teenagers. The short-haired kid the left is pointinga finger having a speech bubble over him (This implies he's saying something.). to the right (probably at Greg) and The text on the speech bubble says "HEY, LOOK, GREG HAS A", and then "EMBROIDERED BOOKBAG" below, but distorted. Greg reacts with saying "ACTUALLY, ITS ONLY A PURSE!" followed by blank space ow. The last kid with acne has a nearly empty speech bubble, only saying "E". Diary of a Wimpy Kid artstyle. Oh, Greg is holding the purse I talked about previously in the image!If you look closely, you at the end. Everything is drawn in the typical thing I forgot to mention: ohe can even see that the word "Grea" is stitched on it- IS Okay, the description of the image is over. Now, let's get the analysing part. I examined every part of the image and compared it with other maymays from around the same time and site. But then, I couldn't believe what I found out! This maymay on r/LodedDiper falls under the category of modern internet memes. You may have heard of the word from your kids, maybe grandkids, and that's because it's a Millennial (yes, the Avocado eveh toast generation. / Generation Z movement. The concept of Memes itself is too complex, Ill explain it on a seperate page, but, to be short, Memes are funny internet maymays that require Some sort of insider knowdlege to be understandable. Memes are very special of humour, because, unlike other funny maymays, the humour of Memes ih terms always based on either relatability or absurdity. This can be shown is this image too: The incosistency of logic and font size makes the oh absurdity of this maymay visible. The "E" has a very complex background, but it can be said that it's referencing another modern Meme. This absurd humour combined with what used to be a page from a normal cartoon hovel is what makes this maymay funny. When I realized this, I had to LOLWHMWADCC (Laughing Out Loud While Hitting Manny With A Diet Coke Condom)! explain why I chose exactly this maymay symbolizes the change in youth humour. At last, I need to for explanation. That's because it new generation doesn't laugh though they based on either relatability or absurdity. While this change The at Minioh maymays anymore (even very funny., they laugh at modern memes that are dre to more complex humour can be considered a cultural step forwards, it can also be unhealthy for the kids. For example, Memes about depression and suicide, which are very popular, can make someone relating to it even depressed (The argument of these being a coping technique falls Alat here, that has been disproven). But, good or not, it's definetily more an important change in Internet, even the entirety of western culture. This Meme symbolizes the new age of humour, Meme humour. Besthany. And now, I finally explained to you what Memes are, Frank Griffin PS: If read this on r/LodedDiper, go check out the subreddit you r/ExplainItPeter! And the other way around, of course. PPS: is br ald Hehehehehehe, someone's here! No, it's not Frank Griffin (Right now he's busy explaining a Minion meme), it's not Sans Undertale (Off fighting Lugi), it's me: Peter Heffley! Who am I, you may ask? Well, I am the colleague and best buddy of the world famous Frank Griffin. Ah, now that I'm mentioning him, all the memories are flooding back. Whenever there was a cringe nae nae meme, a darn millennial or even a bruh moment, we stuck together. And after decades of friendship he eventually offered me a dream come true: A job in the Meme Explaining Laboratory! So, now I'm here explaining a few memes here and there (Frank does the over- whelming majority of them, though) and, more importantly, critically analysing his very own explanations, because nothing is perfect! (Except for stepping on a crunchy leaf.) Unlike him, I will use Arial instead of the official Wimpy Kid font, simply because this is more readable. Otherwise, my critique is pretty much the same. So, get ready for some high IQ text reading, because we're going to enter the Meme world once again! Alright, we finally got through the long introduction I now have several ways to begin the main part, but I'm honestly not sure where to. I could start with citing his first line, analysing his formatting or referenzing the pipe strip video. But I will do none of these things. Instead, I will dig straight to the core of his explanations, and praise or critique anything in the process. Ergo, I'll start with the nature of his text itself. It's, compared to the usual Internet posts, very text-heavy. However this isn't a big surprise since both of us know how much Frank can dive into a subject. He puts a photo of himself in the top left corner below the image he's analyzing, and his text is written solely in the "WimpyKid" font, which already is my first problem. It may have been suitable if it was used in a short paragraph or two, but using it in an entire explanation is a major design flaw. However, this is not the only problem I have with Frank's text, (Don't take it personally, bucko) which brings me to analyzing the content of his explanation, and his ultimate message near the bottom end. Okay, I'll be honest. I don't like the message. His main part of the analysis may have been on the better side, in comparision to his other posts, but this time Frank really shot himself in his cock and balls this time. Saying that "Meme humour is overtaking regular humour" is overly dramatizising and simply putting in a wrong light what is really going on inside the meme creation scene. Frank, I'm sorry to tell it to ya, but a near-sudden cultural shift in humour is not going to happen, pal. What is really happening is that younger kids like to distance themselves from older generations as much as possible, may it be via clothing, music politics or, in this case, humour. Most teenagers eventually just grow out of their phase of shutting themselves off of older people. That eventually happens either when they marry, or when they enter their 30's. I am not saying that a and progressing culture is bad, however it's a lie to say those teens will keep their culture with them as they grow old. Just take hippies, as am example Some of you may remember them promoting peace and other values, and generally having a very liberal mindset. Now, who were those hippies? This answer may be a suprise to you, but those hippies were (mostly) boomers. Yup, the same generation that is nowadays known for being notoriously authoritarian and close-minded. People can change. And those who laugh about their memes now will probably change too, once they reach a certain age. The only thing in favor of Frank's argument is the existence of the Internet. Although that argument isn't that much of a punch when considering the very likely possibility that another game changing form of media will probably pop up within the next few decades. Memes will simply not prevail, or they will be warped beyond recognition (Not as in becoming more abstract and surreal (which is also a very widely spread belief about Memes)), by having different unwritten rules for Memes. If a time traveler from 2011 saw a changing modern meme page from today, they wouldn't think those memes would be funny or should even be called memes. What we call memes now, will be forgotten in the future. To cut it short, memes will not have a major effect on culture, nor will they even be remembered in 20+ years. One more thing. Frank stated that Greg Heffley was saying "Actually, it's only a purse!" in the Meme he explained. That is incorrect, though. Greg says "Actually, it's a purse!" without the "only". I think it's highly unprofessional that he tries to deeply analyze a meme and then doesn't even quote the text correctly. It makes me feel like Frank is just doing this for the fame and money by focussing on dramaticising viewpoints instead of being scientifically accurate. This is probably the true reason Bethany left him and took the kids. Not because she "loved Chad more instead of a nice man like me", as Frank said, but because she can't stand him becoming increasingly narcissistic and delusional about his fame anymore. It's actually sickening me how he is cutting of more and more of his friends and family and doesn't even care for fans either. I know I will probably be fired by Frank for publishing this, but the problem is only turning bigger and bigger with no sight of him changing his ways. Frank should honestly take a break from his job and go visit his kids again. After all, he never bothered to see them once Bethany "took them away" from him. He can visit his children anytime he wants to, but he rather likes to work on another money milking machine again (which is ironically the reason the kids chose Bethany.) Alright, it's time to end this text. Looking back at it, it seems like it's 1/3 explanation, 1/3 critique and 1/3 open letter. I planned this to just be an extension of Frank's analysis and another lie about how we are getting along just fine, but now it turned into a half-agressive rant about him. But I just had to vent my frustations about my buddy. I know he hasa heart somewhere down below his thick skull, but for now it's simply how I and everyone else close to him perceive Frank. Hopefully he'll try to change. Peter Heffley PS: Frank, if you are reading this, please don't fire me for writing this. Try to reflect instead. PPS: Haha PP lol PPPS: I just went to r/Expla memes made me LOLWHMWADCCAEFP nltPeter, and all of the (Laughing Out Loud While Hitting Manny With A Diet Coke Condom And Eating Frank's Penis) out loud! Go visit that subreddit! Thanks for the explanation, Peter Heffley!

before and now

◊ pairings: hwang hyunjin | reader, bang chan | reader

◊ genre: angst, college au

◊ word count: 2.1k

◊ warnings: implied cheating

◊ summary: you were in love and so was he. but not all relationships work out.

italics is a memory, written in letter format

Dear Hwang Hyunjin,

After some thinking, I decided that this toxic relationship needed closure.

Proper closure.

Okay, actually, it was my boyfriend who decided that I needed closure. I thought it was the stupidest idea anyone’s ever come up with, but in the end, I caved.

I swear I’m not trying to trash you or become the clingy ex-girlfriend that nobody likes, or trying to talk shit about the things you’ve done.

I just wanted to get these words off my chest, to say them to you.

I’ll never forget how you came up to me on the first day of uni, how nervous you looked, how scared you seemed. You asked to sit next to me, and from then, a pretty great relationship (well, until it crashed and failed).

“Hi, is anyone sitting here?” A boy gave you a small smile. Glancing up, you smiled and shook your head, inviting him to sit down.

“I’m (Y/N).”

“I’m Hyunjin.”

I’ll never forget how you looked past my weird attitude on our first date.

“God, I’m so sorry.” Grabbing a napkin, you began to furiously wipe at the brown coffee stain on his shirt.

Laughing, Hyunjin pushed your hand away from his shirt, held it in his own, and wiped the stain himself. “It’s okay.”

I’ll never forget our first kiss.

Tilting your neck, you peered up into Hyunjin’s eyes. “Thank you for taking me out.” Stepping closer to you, he smiled, showing off his infamous grin.

“I’d be happy to go out with you again.” Slinging his arms around your waist, he swooped down to place a peck on your lips. “See you tomorrow.”

He kissed you again and left you standing in front of your door with a starry eyed look.

I’ll never forget how we weren’t just dating, but we were more. I called you my boyfriend and you called me your girlfriend, and no one questioned it.

“Who’s that?” Jisung pointed his chin in your direction after too many (not so) discrete stares at each other.

Giving him a dazed look, Hyunjin turned his eyes back to you and smiled. “That’s my girlfriend.”

I’ll never forget the first time you said ‘I love you.’

Twirling around the living room with a mop, you laughed as Hyunjin slid around on a towel.

“What exactly is it that you’re doing?”

“I’m helping you clean.”

Suppressing your smile, you listened to the light music playing in the background. “Really? That’s real nice of you.”

“It’s my job as your boyfriend. Along with loving you of course.”

“What?”

“I love you.”

I’ll never forget any time you said ‘I love you.’

You and Hyunjin lay on the sofa, you trapped between his body and the back cushion.

“You’re really cute.” Your cheeks turned a light shade of pink as you buried your face into his chest. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

I’ll never forget how every moment I spent with you, you somehow managed to make my day brighter. .

Trudging down the halls of your apartment building, you lugged the textbooks and countless of assignments your professors has thrown at you.

“Boo!” Hands suddenly found their in front of your eyes. Grinning at the warmth, you found yourself sinking into his embrace, dropping the bags you held.

“Welcome back.”

I’ll also never forget our first real fight after you kissed that Soojin at the Christmas party.

“Don’t misunderstand it, it was nothing.”

“I saw you kiss her! Don’t lie to me!”

“I’m not lying to you! Goddamnit, listen to me for once in your life!” Your glare pierced his soul, and realizing the words that escaped his lips, he stopped, tucking his shoulders into his body as if he could fold himself into a small ball.

“I’ll see you at home.”

How we spent the night in bed, both faced away from each other.

“Still not gonna talk to me?” Hyunjin stared at your back, desperation laced in his voice, silently begging you to turn away from the wall.

“Hm.” You still didn’t budge. He sighed, sitting on the bed and brushing your hair away from your bare shoulder to plant a kiss there.

“I love you. Don’t forget that.”

And I’ll never forget how you started drifting away from me when you suddenly changed your major halfway through our second year.

“I switched to fine arts. With Soojin, you know her.”

“Oh, you dropped business?”

“I just said that. Anyway, we already have a project due soon.”

“We?”

“Me and Soojin. See you later. I love you.”

I’ll never forget how seeing each other every day turned into seeing each other once a week.

“Hyunjin, are you coming home tonight?”

“No, sorry. Me and Soojin have a really important thing to do tonight.

“But-”

“I’m sorry, babe, but it’s celebrating getting a 93 percent on our final. I’ll see you,” The line went dead.

“But… it’s our anniversary.”

How talking all the time turned into talking only when needed.

“Hey, do you wanna go out for dinner tonight?” He didn’t notice the desperation in your tone.

“Ah, I’m busy. I can’t,” Hyunjin smiled, albeit slightly forced. On his way out the door he picked up his phone, saying the name you were starting to despise. “Soojin? Yeah, I’m almost there.”

When texting every hour turned into texts being unanswered.

Sender: (Y/N)

Receiver: Hyunjin

Hey, you didn’t answer my texts. Are we still up for our date tonight?”

Sender: Hyunjin

Receiver: (Y/N)

I’m busy. Sorry.

When cuddling every night turned into your side of the bed being cold and empty almost every single damn night.

You pulled the covers closer to your body, tears staining your face as you stared at the door, waiting for it to open, and for him to come home.

He never did.

How waking up to your face turned into a loud, blaring alarm.

You opened your eyes to the loud screeching of the alarm, the lingering scent of Hyunjin’s cologne left on his pillow, indicating that he was there sometime throughout the night.

But he still didn’t wake up with you.

When eating dinner together every evening turned into uneaten food, wrapped and placed in the fridge.

Cooking for him never brought a smile to your face like it used to. Your food was turning bland, getting simpler with smaller portions. Your face was always kept straight as you stuffed a few spoonfuls of food into your mouth, the taste you longed for no longer there. His plate would be wrapped away and stored away into the fridge.

Yours was dumped into the trash.

How over-exaggerated paragraphs turned into one or two word sentences.

“Will I see you tonight?”

“No,” and he just left.

How “I love you” was directed to her, and not me.

You sat on the couch, motionless as you watched Hyunjin open the door back to the apartment. His smile was wide and his face was practically glowing. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Soojin. Love you, take care,” he walked into the room, closing the door behind him.

Never glancing at you.

How you strung me along for a few months, making me believe you still loved me while everyone around me knew that it was her you were dating.

“Who’s that?” Jisung asked after Soojin just left, but not before hugging Hyunjin and pecking him on the cheek.

“She’s my girlfriend.”

“And (Y/N)?”

Hyunjin shrugged.

I’ll never forget how stupid I felt when I saw your texts to her, completely disregarding me and everything we’ve been through. For her.

Sender: Soojin

Receiver: Hyunjin

Are u with (Y/N)? Wanna come over?

Sender: Soojin

Receiver: Hyunjin

I can cancel I’ll be over soon.

I’ll never forget the pain you put me through, Hwang Hyunjin. People told not to fall for your charms, because underneath that is so much more. Thinking back, I was the most stubborn person alive, and I stupidly decided to ignore them, because I believed that you would change for me.

I was wrong, and I almost lost myself in our relationship.

Surprisingly, the person that I least expected took me to his hometown. He showed me his roots, where he grew up, how he grew up, the little cafe his parents own, his childhood bedroom. He wasn’t afraid to love me for who I am, to show me off. He helped me find myself when I was incapable of doing it alone. He showed me that I am worth it.

More importantly, he showed me that you’re everything I can live my life without.

Now, you might be wondering what the point of this letter is, but the truth is: you lost something great.

Do whatever you like with the people you want, but trust me. Eventually? You’re going to realize you want it all back.

You’ll want to see me everyday, like he does.

“Hey, come here.” his voice was low and slurred, full or grogginess seeing as how he just woke up. Moving into the living room from the kitchen, you sat yourself on the arm of the couch, raking your hands through his, currently, platinum blonde hair. Curling himself back up, he pressed his face against your thigh, dozing off to the feeling of your fingers running through his scalp.

You’ll want to talk to me every hour of the day, like he does.

“(Y/N)?” you were walking through the campus gripping tightly onto his hand, looking for places you haven’t been before, which was probably over half the campus.

“Hm?”

“Did you know that the sun is 93 million miles away from us?”

You’ll want my texts, the one he gets.

Sender: (Y/N)

Receiver: My Love

Make sure to eat!!!!

Sender: My Love

Receiver: (Y/N)

You too! I’ll be home at 6

You’ll want my cuddles, the ones you missed out on.

Feeling your body being pulled back to someone’s chest, you rose an eyebrow to him, despite him not being able to see you. Turning yourself around, you buried your face into the crook of his neck, feeling him nuzzle his nose into your hair. He exhaled, loving the feeling of you wrapped up in his arms.

You could stay like this forever.

You’ll want to wake up to my face, the view he gets every morning.

You woke up to someone stroking your face and hair being moved away from your neck. Opening your eyes, you stared up lovingly at him, cuddling more into his touch.

“Good morning.”

You’ll want how I made dinner for you everyday, like I do for him.

“Is that clay pot chicken rice?” his deep voice rumbled throughout the room, barey rising over the sizzling of food on the stove. Turning around, you beamed at him, smile making his whole day.

“Yeah! Your favorite, then we can go watch a movie or go to your studio or something.”

Smiling, he walked over to you and slung his arms around your waist, kissing your neck. “I’d like that very much.”

You’ll want my long, over-exaggerated paragraphs, like he gets.

Sender: (Y/N)

Receiver: My Love

Remember to eat okay? I might show up late tonight, so make sure you get some rest and keep yourself hydrated, AND DON’T HOLE YOURSELF UP IN THE STUDIO. I’ll have someone watching you, okay? Since I probably won’t see my beautiful, sexy, handsome, boyfriend til late tonight or tomorrow, I hope you can feel my love through this! Love you!!!!!

Sender: My Love

Receiver: (Y/N)

Okay! Don’t overwork yourself and don’t spend the whole night working on your essay. Love you see you tonight

You’ll want my hugs, like he gets.

Deeply inhaling his scent, you shuddered when a hand came around you to rest on your back. Attempting to pull yourself back, you found yourself being brought closer to his chest, a deep whine rumbling from his chest.

“Just a few minutes.”

You’ll want my kisses, like he gets.

Pulling him against you, you grinned when he placed his lips against yours. Trailing away from your mouth, his lips placed gentle kisses along your cheeks to your jawline.

“That tickles!”

“I don’t care.” Only to continue pressing kisses to your skin.

You’ll want me to say “I love you,” like how he hears it.

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

“I love you.”

Hell, you’ll want my love, how he has it.

“I don’t know what I’d do without you, honestly.” your voice was slightly muffled, due to the fact that your scarf was pulled up to your mouth.

“I don’t know what you’d do without me either.”

“Hey-”

“But I’m happy you’re here. I love you.”

“I love you too, Chan.”

You’ll want me.

But when the time comes, you will always be too late.

I’ll never be yours again.

And trust me, you’ll want everything back.

From,

(L/N) (Y/N)

a/n: god this is so bad lol thanks for reading

Bro bro u gotta hear this bro I was minding my own business asleep like you do and im dreamin, right? Well, its like, a post apocalyptic future and i meet up with this group of real tough lookin folks who claim to be protecting some holy relic of a lost civilization. I'm like, some kind of antiquarian or some shit in this dream. Anyway I meet them and they pull out this battered manila folder labled "relic" and im running out of letters in this ask so im going to send another one

okay so this folder says "relic" right? We do this sketchy handover where i hold out some cash and they hold out the folder and its like we're people who met on craigslist exchanging cash for old textbooks bro. So I get this folder and I scamper on back to my apocalypse bicycle to look at it and I open the folder and inside is a screenshot of YOUR BLOG just like it looks if u open your URL and im runnin out of words again goddamn this shitty storytelling format

anyway bro so it looks just like your blog except someone has NUMBERED each one of the faces in your background texture with red pen, and has circled every third face and drawn all these crazy lines and symbols like they're trying to do some fuckin sacred geometry or something but the POST dear god the POST bro. There's one post on your blog in this screenshot. Just one. It startled me so bad i remembered it word for word in the morning and Im terrified my mind could think of it okay next ask

So there's this post on your blog bro and its the only post there, and its circled heavily in red pen. Also i didn't say this but the screenshot is in black and white and looks like it was printed on like, a fucking laser jet printer from the 90s, on really thin, shitty paper. The manila has done its job tho bro but its still in rough shape like its been bent a lot but the POST is there and Im staring at it just enraptured and I understand implicitly why these people think its deific next ask

I look at this post and its like that reaction image with that dude being blinded with light off his phone. In the post there's a picture of some k-pop idol, idk who im not a weeb, but its my dream so i must have seen him somewhere?? its embarrassing bro I know but someone has edited this idol's face to be perfectly smooth, skin like porcelain, eyes an unnaturally bright shade of grey (its all grey its black and white) and they've got him staring straight into the camera okay next ask

so this like, vitruvian man, perfect paragon of humanity, smooth k-pop idol stares back at me in this picture and i swear I can see his lips move when I look through the corners of his eyes but there below his picture is the comment from whatever stan blog posted it and its like "this is him. he's perfect. I'm blessed to see him every day! I keep a picture of him above my bed!" and then some fuckass conservative blog comments below something like "idol worship strengthens the devil" next ask

and finally bro, finally, below these two comments, someone has pointed out the pun in "idol worship", which was a huge load off of my shoulders to be perfectly honest, but thats it, thats all there is bro. I've just paid these crazy wasteland scavengers whatever I did for crazed scribblings on a screenshot of your blog with some kpop idol photoshopped to look flawless and someone describing how much they love him and I KNOW that its your blog and that its from like, 2019 next ask

I KNOW bro i KNOW that this is the context of this piece of paper but I also know that no one will believe me because its like 2070 and the world is in shambles so I look back up to the scavengers I bought it off of and they're all gone off to who knows where and in their place is standing THAT KPOP IDOL in the flesh, all 5 foot 8 or whatever of him bro is just standing there with this benevolent smile on his face literally radiating light from his perfect skin okay next ask almost done

So this kpop idol is standing there before me like some manifestation of better times. I live in a wasteland, Im unshaven, covered in dirt, and he looks like he stepped out of a promo video. I can only think to ask "what are you" and he stares down at me, now hovering a few inches off the ground and he says something in korean that I can't understand at all. He just keeps talking and its like hes reciting some kind of incantation it PULLS the folder and the screenshot out of my hand bro

He like, conjures the thing im holding out of my hands and up into his as he continues to float up into the air. He looks at it for a moment before looking down at me and speaks in like, perfectly clear english. He says, "Dragon Fucker would like to see this." and then just... sublimates into thin air, just vanishes a balloon popping. I had some other dreams after that one but I woke up still like, emotionally riled up by that one and I couldn't get it out of my mind

I'm asking this anonymously because I'm now genuinely afraid you have some terrifyingly perfect astral kpop deity at your disposal and the thought of his unblemished face appearing in real life fills me with unspeakable dread but I HAVE to ask something so I HAD to tell you the story but I GOTTA know this bro i gotta know what use you could possibly have for that post and how you got into my dream and what the idol worship has to do anything and if you're starting a cult or somethin

Im sorry asks convey information so slowly but i don't want you to train the Idol on me I've done nothing wrong I hope you have a fantastic evening and that you bless me with some answers if it pleases you

Thank you for bringing these events to my attention.

You may now safely forget these events.

You may now safely return to sleep.

hello hello! & thank you so much! lov u too ♥️

& yeah! absolutely! but strap in bc this is long. i never know how to make things short ... rip ... anyway!

so my biggest pieces of advice are to 1. read through their guidelines several times beforehand and then once more before you submit. just keep it open in an extra tab honestly.

2. understand that just because they don’t accept your work doesn’t mean that your poem is bad. it just means it doesn’t work for them. it’s like being recommended a book you don’t like — it’s just not for you, you’re not going to read it. you really can’t let it get to u. bc that’ll crush u. stay positive, there’s always a mag out there for ur poems!

3. learn how to write a cover letter, just go ahead and open a doc and write out one, i frankencopied mine honestly from googling ‘how to write a cover letter’ specifying poetry and made it fit what i needed. so, just go ahead and do it even if the lit mag doesn’t require one ( and some won’t. refer to 1) and save it and u can just use it over and over again. also if you can find the poetry editor / editor, use their name in ur letter. if u can’t, dear editor is okay.

4. when writing ur email, write ur letter first & attach everything and THEN add the address as the last step. don’t do it first bc u might hit submit and then send them a blank email or a wrong one or one where ur just “PLEASE JUST ACCEPT MY POEMS THANKS :)” bc ur frustrated or whatever. this has saved me tbh

so, really just go at it with a ‘hey, check it out. i wrote some stuff and if you like it great! and if you don’t that’s chill too’ kind of attitude where you’re just asking them to read it & don’t put ur whole heart into it. i know your poetry is a piece of u and it’s important but they’re also running something that’s important to them and sometimes the visions don’t align and that’s Okay!

hmmm in choosing one, i first chose magazines that i could submit too. being a white nb guy, there’s a few out there that wouldn’t accept my submissions even if my poetry matched what they published. so, keep an eye out for that and those things are usually listed under guidelines or their about. and then usually i read their about and their vision matched my poetry or if i like the poetry they’re putting out or if i just get really good vibes from them and like what they’re doing ( you can always check their social media and see if it’s good / bad. i would do this for the eic’s personal if u can find it. i found a mag that i liked but the eic ended up being someone that i just couldn’t get behind. and that’s okay too! )

i only submit poetry that i feel would be good for a lit mag. old or new, doesn’t matter. you can always edit old poems to be new or let new poems age. you want to submit what you’re proud of though. this is going to be published and people are going to read it — so it should be something you take pride in.

and shady ones, i would go back to checking out the social medias for the staff. if you can find their personal ones, do so. just to see if they’re decent ppl ... u don’t need to a background check but if u see smth that ur just :/ about .... esp if you just have a weird vibe coming from them. always trust ur instincts. if you follow a lot of poets / mags on like twitter, u can find where like mags that have bad reps or don’t submit to or things like that. usually a lot lit mags will retweet these to get the word out / support not doing it. also if they’re asking you for money, they’re a scam — not a lit mag. a lot of them don’t pay, esp if ur looking at newer ones.

if ur looking at established ones that can pay and will pay and ur thinking: i’m not good enough for this. submit it anyway!

finding lit mags, i usually go to twitter. find a mag u like, look through and see if they have a follow forever or if they retweeted one and just click on through the mags to see if one stands out. u can also like go through a published poet’s bibliography and submit to the mags they did. that’s what i did before i realized twitter is much easier to use.

i do recommend u follow their social media like i don’t like twitter but i like it to keep track of lit mags. i wouldn’t follow their tumblr if they have one ( i mean u can. if it’s updated regularly. ) simply bc it won’t update as often or as quickly as u would like to get the info u need. and i do that bc they might be like: hey! submit today! or closed submissions or we’re going on hiatus! — just to keep urself in the Know

if ur doing a multiple submission, 1. let them know ( that’s usually in their rules ) 2. it’s ok to copy everything and just bam bam bam wipe it out. follow guidelines tho and make sure ur cover letter matches w their requirements. 3. go with a first come, first serve basis on these. like mag 1 and 2 get the same poems but 2 wants them before 1 has answered u back, just let 1 one that they’re out of luck bud asap. if u have a place that u RLY want to accept a certain poem/s then send it as a singular submission to them. don’t leave it to fate. tell fate what to do w it.

don’t be afraid to ask them questions. twitter is also good for this. but read thru their rules if ur question is a general one like: ‘why haven’t they gotten back to me’ ( some places can take up 3 months. so know ur timelines ! ) or ‘what format should i submit in’ or something like that. if it’s a rly specific one and u can’t find it anywhere, go ahead and ask.

that’s .... probably it? so i wish u good luck!! submitting is fun!! get your poetry out there!! AND IF YOU GET ACCEPTED!!! swing on by and let me know! i’d love to read it!

#THIS IS SO LONG AND I'M SORRY BUT #i hope u have fun and find a place for ur poetry!!!!#if u have other questions #let me know !!!#Anonymous

Vocal Unit song ranking

So I’m not really sure how to introduce this, since usually I write things like this off of an ask someone sends me and not just because. But basically, since maybe Love and Letter I’ve been expressing more and more my general dissatisfaction with Vocal Unit since they keep doing ballad songs and not really shifting genres at all. It’s not necessarily that I dislike ballads, but more that I want to see Vocal Unit expand and try new styles. Unfortunately, what ended up happening then was that a lot of my reactions to their songs became negatively framed, and most of my analysis on their songs were set in Vocal Unit’s overarching style instead of based on each song. I’ve never really gotten the chance to analyze them as individual songs instead of as a whole, so I decided I want to make a post that gives me the chance to do that. Since the format I’m most used to is a ranking, I’ve decided to keep that structure, so here is my ranking of Vocal Unit songs from least favorite to most!

6. When I Grow Up

Actually, it was very hard for me to pick one that was my least favorite, because as individual songs, I like them all very much. But if I had to pick, it would be When I Grow Up, for the reason that is that it’s very straightforward. It keeps the same structure throughout the entire song, the backing remains pretty much the same, there’s not a whole lot of build or progression to the song. I’m also not a huge fan of the high harmonies throughout the song, because they’re a little too forward in the mix and it can make it seem a little bit too sharp. Although, on the plus side, I really like the way Woozi’s voice fits into this song. I like the vibe of the song, too. It’s very steady and relaxing, and it feels just like sitting outside watching the rain fall and being unaware of time passing. As for lyrical content, the concept is very simple and straightforward as well, which nets extra points for keeping to a theme. Overall, it’s a very nice feeling song, but I feel like it’s easily assigned to background noise, just kind of the feeling of a song you wouldn’t skip, but you might not seek out on your own often.

5. Come To Me

Come To Me's biggest strength is probably the vocal ability, it does have some of the best vocals of all of Vocal Unit’s songs. They’re very mellow and easygoing, and it doesn’t sound like any of them have to particularly strain to hit the notes. However, the style of vocals doesn’t particularly suit the backing track at all, which seems to call for stronger, more upbeat tones. My first reaction was that it sounded like someone took a ballad track and laid it over a tropical house pop song like Really Really, and I still feel like that analysis is pretty accurate. Come To Me has the opposite problem of When I Grow Up, and that is that it does progress and change as the song goes on, but it doesn’t keep to a theme well. In lyrical content, it’s a very mellow, good feeling vibe, with lots of references to nature and emotions, kind of acting like a meeting of the ballad and tropical house genres. I can tell they tried to explore a new genre, but the melody in the vocals doesn’t match with the backing track much. It is still a very good feeling song to listen to, though.

4. Don’t Listen in Secret

At first, I was really disappointed with Don’t Listen, because it started out so understated with just vocals, piano, and a really quiet guitar, and the lyrics made it seem like the whole song should just be... stronger. But then, after the first chorus, there’s this building that starts to happen, adding drums and Seungkwan’s voice beginning to get stronger, and then immediately following that with DK. It builds into this almost... jazzy nightclub sounding song, where I can picture Woozi at a piano and Seungkwan and DK in snazzy suits at mics singing and Jeonghan and Joshua snapping their fingers and it’s this really cool kind of soundscape that I hadn’t expected from the song. If I were to improve this song, I might add a bit more instrumentation to compliment the stronger vocals DK and Seungkwan bring, but it’s also possible that the addition would make the song overwhelming and hurt Woozi’s more breathy chorus. Lyrically, this song does something I like too, which is like, writing a song about the song you’re writing. Popular Song does this same concept a little bit better, but altogether it’s a good concept and a pretty interesting soundscape that makes this song memorable.

3. 20

I argued with myself quite a bit about the order of these last three, since the faults and strengths are all different, but I finally decided on this order. 20 is an incredibly simple song with very pop-influenced instrumentals and vocals but it’s still done so well. The lyrics are simple, the progression is simple, but it only feeds into the idea that this is a song written to invoke either the excitement looking forward to your twenties or the nostalgia of looking back at a simpler time. It invokes the feeling of lightheartedness and optimism that perfectly encapsulates what the pop genre should be used for. It’s basically the ultimate feel-good pop song, that you listen to when you want to make new good memories or remember the good old times. The biggest fault of the song is that with the exception of Woozi who fits the genre extremely well, the vocals are a little weak. But considering it was debut era, and the allowance of the genre of the song, it’s not even that big of a subtractor from the enjoyment of the song.

2. Pinwheel

The realization that I actually really like Pinwheel was what inspired me to make this post in the first place. I was really hard on Pinwheel at first because I wanted to see other things from Vocal Unit, but Pinwheel actually does improve on a lot of the problems earlier ballads had. The vocals are really strong, the musical progression is memorable and really done well, the melody is creative particularly in DK’s playing with the rhythm in his chorus lead up and the bridge. The harmonies are well blended into the song and aren’t overwhelming, and the lyrics are just beautiful. It uses metaphors and visual pictures to invoke the feeling of loneliness and waiting, and it’s absolutely the most beautiful song Vocal Unit has done. The one complaint I would put for the song itself is that the final chorus had a lot of buildup behind it but not a lot of payoff. After the phenomenal bridge and Woozi’s lead in, I would’ve liked the final chorus to have a bit more of an impact behind it and a little bit of a change behind DK’s little bit of harmonization. However, it’s an absolutely gorgeous build and a great execution.

1. Habit

Habit is a pretty overlooked song in the conversation of Vocal Unit songs, but I think it’s Vocal Unit’s best song. Firstly, the emotion in the song is expressed perfectly, from Joshua’s quiet and unpolished vocals to start the song and the understated nature of the verse that bursts into sound in the chorus, to the lyrics which encapsulate not only the pain of someone becoming a habit and then disappearing but also the bitterness of being easily forgotten when you’re still constantly catching yourself preforming the habit. There’s also a lot of memorable lyric delivery as well, with Woozi’s “I must seem like a fool” hitting like a punch. It’s so sad and so perfect. What really puts it over the top for me, though, is that they use Joshua and Jeonghan so well in the song. Instead of relegating them to backing vocals, they give Joshua a place where his softer vocals would be impactful, and give Jeonghan a place where his vocal color can shine instead of being overpowered by the other vocalists. They still keep DK and Seungkwan in the song and give them fitting parts too, where their emotional strength can shine and be noticeable, but they allow the other members to have just as impactful parts of the song as well, and I really appreciate that. I feel like Habit just perfectly uses the style of the song, each of the members, and Woozi’s writing ability. Even some more technical skills like using silence in certain parts to hitting the last chorus with lots of adlibs and harmonies to make it seem stronger is executed perfectly really driving home the message and the style of the song. It’s definitely my top Vocal Unit song.

Bonus - Special Songs

I decided not to do the Adore U remake or any of the Vocal Unit versions of other songs, but I did kind of want to touch on a few special Vocal Unit songs. Namely, Simple and the Vocal Unit Band stage. Mostly I wanted to talk about Simple because it’s one of my favorite Seventeen songs as a whole, and I think the lyrics are some of the best Woozi have written, because it connects very strongly with a lot of emotions for me similarly to Tomorrow Today by JJ project. While I enjoy hearing Woozi write story songs like Pinwheel or love songs like 20, I really do wish he would attempt some more songs like Simple that really show his emotions and connect with him as a person and his experience. And then for Vocal Unit Band I just wanted to talk about it because I need 0 provocation to bring up that it was the best thing that has ever happened to me. DK has a pretty good voice for pop rock, and I’m really glad they explored that some. I really hope we get to hear some more of Seventeen exploring genres like this in the future, maybe in some rock ballads or some SHINee-style exploration into retro themes.

Producer Letter #13

Same old translation-paraphrase mix as usual. Mostly translation this time though!

To everyone supporting Idolish Seven,

Thank you for your continuous support throughout 2017, a year full of new challenges that we couldn't have taken on without everyone.

We began releasing Part 3 of the story in-game, released singles and albums, and announced several new music videos underway. We were even able to present the path all of these idols have taken to everyone through the Idolish Seven Exhibit.

And so, 2018--

Both the anime and live are beginning to take shape. All of the staff members will be doing their best so that everyone will enjoy next year as well.

We are truly grateful for all of the support in 2017. As this 2017 reaches its end, we'd like to look back upon the year as well as announce our future directions for this project.

[About the Project as a Whole]

◆ About Part 3 We plan on releasing Chapter 18 of the story in January. Facing yourself, the importance of trust in your comrades, a new force rising to the top and throwing the idol world asunder, the unbreakable spirit and will to stand up to fight....

All of the various mindsets and expectations* will rise to prominence at the climax of the story. (T/N: omowaku can mean 'thought' or 'expectation/prediction/anticipation' so due to the lack of background context, I put both definitions in)

Once more... "Focus-- on the future and nothing more." Just like the feelings behind this phrase, please walk by these idols’ sides until the very end. (T/N: This whole bit is super vague! Also I forgot how I first tl'd that Part 3 catchphrase, or if I ever did it at all??? I feel like I have but my goldfish memory..........)

◆ About the Music Re:vale's new single 『NO DOUBT』 will be released on January 10th! The full versions of the songs are sure to surprise everyone, and we'd be very happy if you purchased the single. As we announced earlier today, we will also be releasing solo songs for each character on their birthday as part of our 『12 SONGS GIFT』 project! Please look forward to future announcements on this topic!

We also plan on releasing singles for the anime opening and ending themes, so please look forward to those releases as well.

◆ About the TV Anime "Idolish 7" (T/N: Stylized it as Crunchyroll does it since that's who's English subbing + simulcasting i7 this upcoming season!) On January 1st, we'll be broadcasting a special for Episodes 1+2 on TOKYO MX beginning 20:00 PM JST. This marks the start of the anime broadcast! Additionally, Episode 3 will be aired on TOKYO MX on the 7th, and be regularly broadcast from thereon out.

As for the anime opening, we'll be uploading it on YouTube around the time it airs on TV so everyone across the nation can enjoy it at the same time.

Please check the anime site and twitter for more details on broadcasting sites and stations.

Anime official site: http://idolish7.com/aninana/ Anime official twitter: https://twitter.com/ID7_anime

◆ About the Anime Spin-Off Series We were finally able to announce the spin-off series! This will be released as YouTube Originals so everyone can enjoy watching more animated stories about the idols. The first one will be 『TRIGGER 〜before The Radiant Glory〜』. The exclusive behind-the scenes story about TRIGGER's formation was novelized and comicalized, and now we hope you will enjoy watching the animated version. Here is a link to the teaser PV!

More on this work will be announced at any given moment, so please look forward to it!

◆ About the Music Video Animations Next up in our Music Video Animation Series is IDOLiSH7's new music video, animated by MAPPA. This marks the 7th video in our series. We have not decided on a release date as of this moment, but we are dilligently working on the project and making progress. Please look forward to the finished product!

◆ About the Live At long last, we'll be holding our first live concert in 2018! We are still preparing the details for the next announcement, so please look forward to it!

◆ About the Comicalization+Novelization We have always wanted to expand on Re:vale's backstory ever since we began releasing Part 2 of the game story, beginning from the dawn of the band through their indies days. Thanks to Hakusensha, we've gotten our chance to tell their story through a three-part novel. We hope you are all enjoying 『Banri Ikkuu』's novelization, the first two chapters of which have been released online, as well as the comicalization, which began on December 9th. Please look forward to each of the stories told in 『Senko Fuma』 and 『Hyakusai Mukyuu』 as well! We would be very happy if you felt even a fragment of their feelings as you read these works.

(T/N: The Big Thing is that the number kanji from Banri, Yuki, and Momo's names are in the title of their parts. Banri gets his Whole Name which is kinda cool HAHA. I tweeted an explanation abt the titles a while ago and you can check it out here!) (T/N 2: Also wow official i7 staff is a Sadist bc i read both chapters of Banri Ikkuu out rn and let me tell u now all i felt was immense agony as i read abt how Banri felt, just Pain HAHA (it’s really good))

Additionally, we will be novelizing the chaotic world of "Ainana Gakuen" too! We are certain it'll be a very lively story, so we hope everyone will buy a copy of the book!

[About the Game]

We staff members will be giving it our all in 2018 as well so everyone can enjoy the game. We have plenty of events in store for this upcoming year, and we hope you will enjoy the game alongside the anime!

[About Upcoming Game Adjustments and Features]

◆ About Recently Added Updates We have added a Waiting Room feature in our latest update. We hope this will alleviate any inconveniences caused by holding multiple copies of an unidolized card due to lacking the items to idolize them, even if just a little. (T/N: You can read more abt this function here! Kind of interesting to see what the intended use was bc I am storing basically everything not a true SSR w good potential stats in there HAHA)

◆ Events We kicked off our first Rabbit Hall event in celebration of Christmas! Upon release, we have come to realize some of the features are faulty and we are sorry for any inconveniences caused. We hope that everyone will enjoy the event until the next. In 2017, we had a large-scale story release event and collaboration events. Likewise, we hope to implement all sorts of events for everyone's enjoyment.

◆ New Features We are currently on Version 3.0 of the game. Regarding the play style, we are aware that the interface and design are lagging behind in some aspects and we are deeply sorry to everyone for the trouble it has caused. We will be focusing on making the game easier to understand and play from here on out in addition to implementing new features. Furthermore, we understand that there are very few opportunities to obtain items for UR idolization. We are currently in the process of creating an enjoyable way to obtain them through gameplay, so please look forward to future updates on this issue.

◆ Questions, Comments, or Concerns about the Game Please contact us through our official home page through the following link: http://idolish7.com/contact/

Thank you for reading our letter all the way through. We truly appreciate it. The countless support from everyone gave us strength throughout this entire year. As for this upcoming year, there are countless challenges we have yet to take on, and we staff will do our best to continue delivering 'surprise' and 'fun' to everyone.

Thank you for everything, and we will be in your care next year as well.

Let's all Ainana in 2018!

THAT WAS A LONG ONE, and long time no post! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!

Hopefully I’ll be able to find time to post a couple chapters of Part 3 this break, and thank you again for your continued patience.

I’m super looking forward to i7′s big break on TV in just a few days, and please spread the love for this franchise!

researched everyone in crime scene 3 because he didn’t want to make a fool of himself

got so nervous about variety show training programme bc they didn’t let him know who was going to be on the show with him so he couldn’t research them

puts so much effort into things what the fuck !

Real Name: Lee Dong Min

Also went on 1 v 100 with bin and mj but he got into the finals/semi-finals WOW WE STAN BRAINS AND BEAUTY

Knows japanese and chinese and is nearly fluent in english bless his heart

Also speaks Chinese because his younger brother studies in China

DONGHWIIIIIIIIIIIII

Cute as fuck during new year’s when the rest of astro were in the fantz celebrating new year’s he went home to visit his brother bc he came back from china so he video called into vapp

I need to stop saying fantz someone shoot me i started ironically and now i can’t stop

Once upon a time was in the jungle with Yuri, apparently picked up aegyo there

Gets made fun of all the time by astro for the aegyo asjdfkhlskjd they make him sing the aegyo song literally every time

And they annoy him by singing it too

Always gets iconic lines / killing parts in songs

내꺼할래 !! (wanna be mine?)

같이 갈래? (let’s go together?)

Iconic line in polaris

Here’s a compilation you didn’t know you needed

Again made fun of by astro for doing the 같이 갈래

That one astro play where he’s just talking and then lil bitches sanha and jinjin pop up behind him and go 같이 갈래!!! and he just looks so done

The centre of all of Astro’s arm symbol formations

Makes sure that you know who he is (bc he’s cHa-A e-EUN Wu-UU *thumps chest*)

This ALSO gets mimicked by the other members, and poor boy tried to chug a soda and do this as well but ended up burping on camera as a result ;v;

Also the stiffest dancer my poor son

Got sent on some programme for idols who can’t dance it was Hilarious

But he also put so much effort into it i’m rly crying he made sure to get help from rocko in dancing the choreography right ;;;;

And he’s improved so much i’m !!!!!! so proud he puts in so much effort and he works so hard and he practices so much fuck i’m emo

Literally ??? is perfect whatever he says his bad sides are are actually good points smdh

Was asked once if there was anything he couldn’t do, to which he replied that he wasn’t good at relationships and the MC replied that wtf it just made him more attractive

farewell i am on the floor crying

oh right okay yes one bad side:

MINIONS

Smdh he loves them so much

The glasses he wore in the cicada video

that one video of them playing with the minion helicopter

that MINION HAT

160108 DDOCA when they’re playing with the minion blanket and jinjin opens it up and promptly looks horrified

What the hell is this

European Bagel: once said he was eating an ‘european bagel’ on ok!ready episode 1 if anyone knows what that means pls let us know

He gets anxious about being a burden to astro

Talked about it in Astro Project watch at your own risk I cried

Listen he does so much he juggles acting and photoshoots for CFs and astro promotions he’s constantly trying to improve himself he’s never a burden and if there's one member in all of astro i want to hug and just !! tell him he's okay and that everything will be okay and tell him that he’s perfect and that he’s enough and deserves love it’d be Eunwoo for me ;;;;;;;;

Also Eunwoo: (sits quietly) / 5stro: let’s fuck with him

was playing with the ducks when jinjin and sanha come up behind him and screamed lmao he nearly fell on his face

A compilation or two… or three of Eunwoo being bothered by the other members lolol

Once Jinjin had to pull a secret camera on him and tell him that Astro accidentally broke a camera and without hesitating he offered to pay the full 1.5k$ that camera was worth adsfjkasd what a pure gullible bean ;A;

ICONIC BASEBALL DDOCA THAT SLAYED ALL THE BINU STANS THERE EVER WERE i’m writing this from the grave

Cutest whine? He goes like aaAAa or something like that idk but he does it when he gets annoyed it’s the cutest thing ;;;;;

Literally the (^▽^) face

Mouth opens up into a really wide triangle, width depends on how embarrassed he gets

My favourite laugh in the entire universe

heck I’m so in love,,,

LOVES KIDS

during one ASC a baby came on and asked all of astro to go to their house to play for christmas eunwoo got out of his seat right away he was 1000% ready to run out of the studio and hop on that airplane

Actually a lil bitch lmao

“Haha u were going 2 sleep?? Nah stay up & watch me on vlive fam”

Makes fun of hyung line’s height i live for this

After arohas missed the “MJ” during the first fanchant he joked saying “why don’t y’all just come in on ‘jinjin’ instead?” #LetMJLive2k17 also #LetArohasLive2k17

Voice like moonlight

Need him singing??? Here

Titles his v-lives “차은우의 Just one 10 minutes” but they’re never 10 minutes they’re nearly an hour long

His voice is just really really soothing and comforting and if you ever need something to calm you down when you’re upset or if you need a background voice for when you’re studying here he is

Singing voice has improved so so so so so so much from Spring Up, his live singing shakes me to the core

Also sang opera in ASC so really hoo boy he’s improved so much I’m so !!! :’)

Literally can we pause and take a moment to appreciate his baby photos I looked like a rat when I was younger and here he is, snatching,

My favourite baby ever ajkdlhsfakjsdf i lovE

Did some modelling campaigns pre-debut

Shara Shara

I bet you needed all these pictures in your life

Cute lotion video :’)

Still king of CFs he recently did a baskin robbins one (with Yoo Seung Ho)

It’s pretty funny

He’s so cute what the heck

After the whole thing, he got addicted to ice cream; he mentioned in a vlive that at some point he could just eat sandwiches and ice cream the whole day

But fantagio also probably feeds all of astro ice cream for breakfast so really,

A Lafuma ad with Seolhyun (AOA)

A Polham ad with Doyeon (Weki Meki)

A Ceci spread with Doyeon too!!

A Lotte Water Park ad with Sejeong (Gugudan)

Won an award for best male CF smdh

Wears frickin glasses and makes everyone cry

That one DDOCA where it’s him preparing for a hit the top shooting I would like you to know that this is coming to you from the grave

Got scouted by a Fantagio recruiter when he was in middle school, then bugged into joining the fantz

He was the school president, in the top three of the entire school, wanted Seoul National University to become a judge bless his fuckin heart

Apparently rejected Fantagio the first couple times they asked, but gave in bless him thank god

Astro claimed pre-debut walking anywhere with him meant everyone doing double-takes

Re-enacted on ok!ready: sanha and mj talking in a coffeeshop then stopping and sTARING THE FUCK OUT OF EUNWOO LMAO

Literally blew up on male-dominated sites for being PRETTIER THAN THE FEMALE MCs AT SHOW!MUCORE

So pretty that Hello Venus thought he was prettier than them when starring in their video

Some weibo arohas describe him as the kind of handsome where “even if you’re already married, you’d still take a second glance at him if you passed by him on the street” ("那种虽然有老公了但是对路过的帅哥还是想多看两眼的感觉") I 10000% agree

weibo arohas also call him "车车" car car / cha cha i'm fuckinjasdfkjdf

In case you wanted a heart attack

Labelled a “Face Genius”, but wants to be acknowledged for more than his looks

“Someone who’s more reliable than anyone else and who always gives his all to the people he treasures, who’s very hard on himself and there are times where it gets too much but because of that, he’s someone who’s detailed and earnest.” (creds to @astrotranslations)

Dony on Weekly Idol called Rowoon (SF9) a face genius once but Rowoon politely deferred and said that title belonged to Cha Eunwoo :’)

Said once in an interview that he’d take whoever he likes out to dinner, give them a necklace then confess asdjfhlaskjd a true romantic bby

Also said that he was an “FM” boyfriend (field manual) asjdhflaksjd my heart is weak don’t attack me like this

You know what, Binu gets a section to themselves smdh

Just so you know, arohas didn’t come up with the name ‘Binu’, they came up with it (”Team Soap”) themselves

explained it by saying 빈 (Bin) + 우 (Woo) = 비누 (Soap)

Roommates!!

Picked each other in OK!Ready and have been living in the same room ever since

in the recent Night Night show they did Eunwoo said that if he could pick roommates again, he’d still pick Bin

Is apparently scentless to Bin

Smdh we all know what habituation is it’s bc he smells Eunwoo too much Eunwoo doesn’t have a specific smell anymore

Also together like 24/7 stuck to each other’s side if you’re looking for eunwoo ever just look for bin you’ll find him there

Bin claims Eunwoo is the most beautiful creature on earth tbh same

“Is he really human? How can someone that looks like him exist?”

Eunwoo thinks Bin is the most handsome too I love supportive friendships ;u;

IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN WAKE BIN UP AMAZING

Literally though sanha and jinjin posted a twitter video of them trying to wake bin up it doesn’t work it apparently only works when eunwoo gets him to wake up

Sleeps through sanha and jinjin prodding him but wakes up when eunwoo starts talking in a vlive

Bin said in the harper’s bazaar interview that he doesn’t wake up when the manager calls him to get up but his eyes naturally open when he hears Eunwoo sighing (creds to @astrotranslations)

Bin’s mom even sent in a concern to hello counsellor bc he wouldn’t stop sleeping and couldn’t wake up so really… eunwoo = magic?

Want more Binu? Here, here and here!

Friends with Mingyu from Seventeen

Mingyu called him once for advice on what to bring to the jungle since he too was going on law of the jungle

Said in Night Night that he gets cold really easily

Yet in OK!Ready (as pointed out by @jinwoostro) he stood outside waiting for Jinjin and Sanha to come even though he was freezing ;u;

A sweetheart!! Who cares so much !!!! for other members!!!!!!

Listen this boy works so hard and he does so much for a 20 year old: he models, he acts, he’s learning 3 other languages for Aroha, he handles university courses AND he still keeps up with astro’s promotions I’m really crying he’s worked so hard he deserves the world

Im rly fukcing criyng i gotta sotp i love this boy,

hey broski do u have any drarry fic recs

Oh, pal, boy do I! I have a short list of long recs here. I’m going to try to make this list more concise than my last, but with more recs. Here’s my effort. These aren’t in any particular order.

Chaos Theory by Brief_and_Dreamy ( 43k )

Summary: When an ancient spell book is discovered in an abandoned vault, Harry–a Curse-Breaker–and Draco–an Unspeakable–are called in to examine it. Draco does everything in his power to resist Potter’s advances, despite his growing crush. Potter just wants sex, he assumes, and Draco doesn’t want to be used. He discovers, however, that some things simply aren’t within our power to control.

It’s been a while since I read this and I know definitely that it’s been seventy-four fics in the time since this one so my memory might be a little spotty. What I do remember, however, is so much tension (it’s almost palpable — you could probably hold it and cradle it in your hand) and snark and hermione being a bamf. Draco/Ron friendship. Also I’m pretty sure Harry smokes weed in this one. “For pain.” Warning: if you do not have an ao3 account, you may not be able to view it.

Better than an Origami Bird by chibaken and jadepreseley (3k)

Summary: A series of letters in which Harry and Draco argue, play truth or dare, get kinky, and are a couple of very naughty (or very good, depending on who you ask) boys during class.

I enjoyed every single word of this alright? The writers have such a great grip on the characters and write them so believably. I appreciate the hell out of the format which reminded me a bit of chat rp. I loved it.

Can You Feel the Silence by toasterpapa (12k)

Summary: “He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.”——————————————————————————————————He wasn’t mute. He could speak perfectly fine, thank you very much, he just decided to only speak when absolutely necessary. Why waste his breath if it wasn’t worth it? If these people didn’t want to listen to his words, he wouldn’t give any to them. It was just better that way. It was easier. It was peaceful.

Let me be the first to say that I did Not Cry. Not at All. This story is filled with the BEST quotes. Either they’re relatable or deep or funny or just pretty. I applaud the writer. Writing a silent character is extremely difficult and some writers can’t do it well. It takes from the character and prevents people from connecting, but THIS PERSON HERE did it splendidly. ( and can i can a hallelujah for draco slowly opening up and being comfortable around harry because i am HERE for it )

Bound to You by agentmoppet (28k)

Summary: Hag magic is capricious and unruly, and Harry and Draco are bound to stay by each other’s side until they can solve the riddle. In between long car trips, misty rain, and midnight star charts, they begin to understand each other.

This is a story that sat around in my library for a while before I thought fuck it i’m gonna read it today and then I was upset that I’d waited so long because it’s AMAZING !!! There’s a mystery and falling in love and secret beaches and adorable tots. This fic right here is golden. And it has a background/past ship that I’ve always imagined but didn’t think anyone else did and I took solace in the fact that it’s included in this and I am validated. Warning, it’s painful.

Welcome to the Broom Closet by incapricious (23k)

Summary: Harry thinks he knows how his life will go: Become an Auror. Marry Ginny. Have a family. But then he sees an advertisement in the paper that no one else can see, and his life is turned upside-down. The Broom Closet: you can be anyone you want while you’re there, but you won’t remember it in the morning.

As stated in my previous list, identity porn is my shit. I love secret identities. I find that they’re amazing. And the reveal is even more amazing. Not to mention in this fic, Harry and Draco essentially fall in love again every night. Man. Wow. Holy. It’s a rollercoaster let me tell you. First oblivious!harry. Then snarky!draco. then anonymous hookups ( with feelings ). Then a surprisingly sad story of a ghost who I didn’t expect to love as much as I did.

Packing the Flat by marguerite_26 (6k)

Summary: Months after their explosive break-up, Draco insists Harry return to their flat to remove his belongings.

Hoooo boy- this. This. This. This. I needed some happy ending angst and BOOM this fic appeared. It’s everything. It’s short, emotional and honestly Draco is an idiot I want to fight him, but I have a rule against fighting adorable people so. This has such a satisfying ending, though. Despite the ride it took my emotions on, I was very happy with it. I had this kinda fuck wait awww FU-AWWWWWW feeling at the ending paragraphs and I loved every moment of it.

Party of Two by fireflavored (13k)

Summary: Drinking, sex, and a total misreading of the concept of fuck buddies.

This was really cute. It was so cute. I don’t think I stopped smiling or laughing while reading this because these dorks honestly. They’re so cute and clueless. There’s so much to love in this fic. Oblivious!drarry, pining, friends to lovers, aurors, a fuck you to the daily prophet. man it’s so much. I appreciate this fic so much.

Strangers in a Dark Room by shiftylinguini (3k)

Summary: Harry clenches his jaw, sets the files down on the desk between them. “Remind me what you were picked up for again?” he asks pointedly, hands resting over the smooth paper.

“Oh,” Draco shakes his head dismissively, “who can remember. Loitering, was it?”

“Soliciting, Malfoy!”

I have died everyday waiting for this fic. I didn’t know I needed this in my life until after I read it. I’ve read it maybe four times and I still love it so much. I usually don’t go for established relationship because I like to see it develop, but this right here. Oh lord. I love their dynamic and the little blurbs where they break character are so adorable. Draco is such a little shit and Harry loves him for and Draco loves him for loving him for it. This fic is a Yes.

Paradigm by dysonrules (57k)

Summary: Harry Potter is an Auror and Draco Malfoy is a rentboy, but this is not a typical rentboy story.

I read this maybe six or seven months ago, and I still think about it. Draco is a genius and he’s the most slytherin slytherin there is. You gotta feel bad for Harry though. But you also don’t, because everyone’s having fun. Except maybe … nevermind. Spoilers. But listen, there’s deception and secrets and auror!harry. Draco’s just trying to rebuild his life after the war, okay? The wizengamot were dicks here. I mean, more than usual.
