ok but hear me out- self aware niigo??
Sorry for being gone for so long heh ^^;
Tw: mention of drugs, possible ooc, yandere themes, mention of stalking
Paranoia
- Paranoia is thinking and feeling like you are being threatened in some way, even if there is no evidence, or very little evidence, that you are.
Ft. Self-Aware Niigo
.
.
.
"What is happening?" - A sigh escaped your lips, as you tried restarting your device again. It has been happening several times throughout this months.
After finishing yet another Niigo event, you found out more about Mafuyu's situation. The way her mother treated her infuriated you. And just like everyone in the fandom, you wished Mafumom's death. Of course, you cursed her out in your own kinda way, right infront of the characters. "Who enters their kid's room, finds a synthesizer and treats it as if you saw your kid doing drugs??" a growl escaped your lips. "Seriously, Mafuyu's mom is the worst". And then you closed the app, to cool off.
----
Existentional crisis isn't something that was on girls' list. Hearing voices in your head and guidance during singing and stuff isn't normal after all. Was it insanity perhaps?
They were wary of you
None of them talked about...for a while. They noticed that the...guidance they were receiving from the voice also made their relationships better.(friendship lvl) Why? Perhaps all you really want is to help them. At some point, Vocaloids got then to sit down together in empty sekai and talk about the strange voice. Vocaloids know you, the player.
After hearing out question, asked by Meiko and Luka, they had collectively started loosing their shit.
...all they went through...was just.. a game? Nothing? Just entertainment?
Why were you helping them then?
.
.
And so, certain someone from another group hacked your camera.
.
.
Mafuyu honestly didn't know how to feel. Fist clenched, she tried to keep her tears from falling. No, she didn't blame you.
How could she blame you?
After all, all you want is to help them. Yes, this is all. You want nothing in return. They may be game characters, but they could feel your love. Purple-head is sure that others feel the same way.
It's okay, niigo can share. Kinda. But others?
Mafuyu loves watching your expression (and if you talk/sing along then listen to you). She doesn't do much else. Her face softens up, shoulders become less tense as she observes you. Ah, aren't you an angel?
She started working on her vocals more, so your attention would stay on her in every song. She wants your attention and affection. Please give it to her, look only at her, listen only to her
She loves it when you pick clothes for her, she tried to stay away from anything that could damage them or get them stained.
.
.
Our pink-head was so happy certain guy hacked your phone camera and mic!
They could hear your voice, and see your expressions. Ah, the way your eyes lit up when you did helped them (fullcombo/all perfect)! You seem to really like their singing and dancing.
Mizuki will try to make group's visuals even more appealing. Their MVs are already awesome, but Mizuki will try even harder. Better, they should be better. What if MV isn't good enough? No, they don't want you to take your eyes off of them. They must make every second of MV stunning.
Tbh, all of the girls love watching you (other groups too). But compared to others, they do it more often. Much more often. They watch you sleep
Mizuki hummed in content, as you were choosing another outfit for them. Your face is so focused while you observe them, ah, you're just so cute! If they could only pinch your cheeks! Mizuki would love to go to shopping with you and Ena. For now, Mizuki will wear anything you gave them proudly.
.
.
In the middle of the night, an artist was making yet another masterpiece in her dim lit room. Digital and traditional art. A lot of it. There were some scrambles papers and tossed canvases on the ground. But aside from that, room was fully covered in drawings of one particular person. You
You were her muse. Ena couldn't stop drawing you. You're an embodiment of perfection. No one stood close to you. No one
Ena spends days and nights in her room trying to get your face right. Her drawings were good, but not perfect. She couldn't get your face just quite right. Something was...missing. *sigh* if only you were here with her for real, then it would've been so much easier! It's alright. She is content with being to see you (at least for now).
She observes you more than the others. To draw, and to just take in all of your beauty
Similarily to Mizuki, she wore everything you gave her proudly. Maybe even showed off a little. Every dance, every song, she kept thinking about you, about how you would guide her and help her to get better. Your love, your support....
"Is this like drugs?"
"It's better than drugs Akito"
"I know but still-"
.
.
....It is her third cup of noodles
Kanade tried to write more songs, thinking about you. She loves your smile. It is already past midnight, and yet, here she sits. Infront of her computer, composing music and writing songs. If her songs make you happy, then she will try to write even more.
Kanade has a savior complex, and wants to make everyone happy. You, being the most important person, deserve the most happiness. If you talk about your troubles, or have a sad expression, Kanade will try to make a song to make you feel better. Relatable song, happy song, you name it. Only you will be able to acces this songs, and no one else. They were written for you after all.
Teenager, eating her now forth cup of noodles, thinks of what kind of melodie should be next. She can't help but think of how comforted you would be by her song. Er..their song. She wants Niigo to be your favorite group.
Tired blue eyes skimming from her computer towards her bed. Girl faintly remembers you mentioning something about taking care of her health. She's tired, she can't remember it fully. Perhaps she needs to take a break. Yeah, she can continue once she wakes up.
Kanade enjoys any time you spend with her and any attention you give her. She likes your outfits, but she feels bad sometimes. I mean, she doesn't come out of her room that often, so you probably shouldn't bother, no? Yet, she is very happy that you decided to give her something this gorgeous. She feels some confidence boost when she is in them.
Kanade watches you during her writing hours. Just seeing your face makes her motivated for a new song.
.

You swear it's not paranoia, but you always feel like you are being watched

THE LEGEND OF SHEN LI 与凤行, 2024
⇢ starring: zhao liying, lin gengxin
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. (I'm talking about The Legend of Shen Li)
Let me preface this by saying I'm biased. And it's been a million years since I tried to put my thoughts into writing so this is gonna be all over the place and long-winded. And probably wouldn't make any sense. So here it goes.
I really enjoyed The Legend of Shen Li. Do I love it? With all my charred heart. Do I think it's the best drama this year? It's still April. It's hard to say. Are Shen Li and Xing Zhi the best power couple? This shouldn't even be a debate.
Honestly, I didn't even plan to chase this drama while it's ongoing because I binge watching drama is what I enjoy best. However, I was bored. And The Legend of Shen Li's trailer looked interesting. And my heart still needs healing from the mess of an ending that is Princess Agents. I needed closure. So I started watching the drama, and boy oh boy did it drag me down one hell of a roller coaster ride of emotions every single night. (No, I'm not complaining.)
However, before I talk about the things that I really loved about the drama, I have some things to say about the stuff that kind of irked me. Because no drama is perfect (unless it's Nirvana in Fire).
So let me get started on the things that I feel like the drama could've done better.
Musical scoring - the OST's? Chef's kiss. However, they way they're putting music on the scenes are a hit and miss. Most of the time it just distracts me from the scene and I just get bored with the mv-ish scene. I wish cdramas especially custom ones would stop this. I don't need 5 mins of the leads staring at each other in all angles accompanied by a really nice song. I'm here to watch a drama. Although, I kinda did get used to it in the latter episodes (specifically ep35-38) because I definitely needed a minute or two to process the emotions.
The progression of the story - One thing. I'm confused. Not to the point that "I don't understand the plot confusing" but still confusing nonetheless. There was no consistency in the scenes and the dialogues. (Ex fishing village). There was no flow. I feel like someone messed up the storyboard and when they edited the scenes they were also confused. Or maybe this is the issue of the translation of the dialogue? I don't even know. Still, I definitely think this part could've been done better.
The internal monologues - sigh when I said the thing I love most in dramas are their dialogues I don't mean what's happening in The Legend of Shen Li. The characters just talk (or think?) too damn much I can't keep up. They're supposed to be the characters whom their actions should tell the story but the way they're narrating the whole plot to me is just so jarring. Am I watching a drama or listening to an audiobook? Sometimes I can't tell. I wish they'd tone it down but it just got worse with the later episodes.
The camera - this is just me being nitpicky but there are some random camera angles especially the spinning ones that probably is supposed to make the scene dramatic but all it did was make me wanna vomit.
This is not in any way, shape, or form hating on the drama because I genuinely enjoyed it. I've deluded myself into waiting for a Princess Agents S2 but I got a better deal and had Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin to reunite in a new project which is better in my opinion because Princess Agents is a hot mess. There was really no saving that one.
So moving on to the things I like! But like, where do I even start?
First of all, Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin. Chemistry so good, they had to be casted in another drama. Everything about them was just so perfect for the drama and the role. Could not ask for a more perfect casting than them. The 7 year wait was almost worth it.
The WOMEN! - so much room for improvement regarding the characters but I loved that the women were not treated as damsels who always needed saving. I have to say 5 1/2 braincells were working throughout the drama, 2 from Shen Li, 1 from You Lan, 1 from Jin Niang Zi and 1 from Shen Mu Yue (1/2 from Xing Zhi because he's too unbothered if it's not related to Shen Li).
Shen Li - might not be the best female character in cdramaland but I think she can hold her own place. She's stubborn, a bit reckless but she's loyal and righteous. She's a strong woman without being a stereotypical cold and ruthless strong woman. Shen Li is a strong woman at the same time also a mad woman in love. She does not have to be one or the other. The more I write this the more I'm falling in love with her character. You just don't find a character like her. She is Shen Li. A capable general. A strong leader. An empathetic comrade. A respectful student. A woman in love. She is not just one of them but all of them.
Lin Gengxin is pretty believable playing as an ancient god. He has that air around him that screams your highness. He played the lofty and aloof Xing Zhi to perfection.
And what can I even say about Zhao Liying? As always miss ma'am played Shen Li perfectly. Whimsical, stubborn, in love and devasted in love, you can feel all those emotions just watching her eyes.
It has angst but not too much that we as viewers would spend multiple episodes pulling out hair of frustration about the misunderstandings and accidental killings. (Not a shade to any specific drama but just to the xanxia genre in general). It has the perfect balance of angst, romance and comedy. You laugh, cry and giggle all in one episode. The comic relief scenes are naturally funny and doesn't feel forced. Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin's comedic timing are 👌.
The conflict was handled maturely and the confession was direct but still heart fluttering. Throughout the drama, they both got their heads perfectly placed on their shoulders.
The last episode! Let us talk about the last episode because when has a drama provided that kind of fan service just making one whole episode of shenanigans and fluff. After going through the angst, the reward that is the last episode is just too good and definitely worth all the tears.
Also, can we talk about Dong Jie's guest role? I know miss ma'am is good but when I tell you I cried for a minute because of her story arc? Just hands up and mic drop. So so good!
Now that all of these are out of my system, hopefully I can move on to the next obsession, whatever that may be. I'll still probably watch episode 39 on a daily basis though. It's just too enjoyable and it makes my day. Will probably, revisit this "review" in the future and update it because I'm aware that at this point it's not making a lot of sense.
RATING: 9/10 REWATCH VALUE: 10/10 definitely would watch again! ACTING: 10/10 CATEGORY: GUILTY PLEASURE

#FOR FREE
I see Joon's feet trending under the #FOR FREE tag but excuse me? We got THIS FOR FREE for thirty plus minutes?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm still very speechless.
Jimin playing hard to get.
Jimin telling JK needed to go to sleep because he had schedules later that day, basically making sure JK stayed on-task.
Jimin saying he STILL gets scolded by JK.
Jimin shutting down any ideas of a live with JK.
DAMMIT JIMIN YOU WERE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO DO A LIVE WITH A FEW MONTHS AGO COME ONNNNNNN!?!?!?!
Yes, JK literally has tried to lure Jimin with food, beer, working out, beefcake (flexed his bicep), he's asked coyly, assertively and begged unabashedly. Even Armys tried to convince Jimin.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The comparisons of this to Seven's MV are hilarious... yup, next thing we'll see is JK faking his own death serenading Jimin from his casket.
"Come on Jimin, let me come over, I'll bring my shower stuff and we can do it in the shower... I mean from the shower... or just whatever, pleeeeeeez...."
Tumblr media
Knowing Jimin's default is naked while at home and him texting JK a pic? Please can y'all stop sending dick pics to each other while we are watching?
K-Army is saying the tone of voice JK was using, the context, the polite/casual speech they both used was off the charts couply. A lot of us are international Army and all we see are straight up dry translations and can't really understand how important all those things are in communicating in Korean society. It is easy for I-Armys to interpret the dry translations differently than how Koreans interpret them. I depend a lot on what K-Army says and defer to them as to how to interpret Jimin and Jungkook's relationship.
But seriously, even I could tell JK was speaking in satoori when he was chiding Jimin about saying he wasn't in condition to do a live... "we don't worry about that Jimin, we just do it when we feel like it."
Jimin: "you've forgotten what my personality is like"
I can hear Jimin now... "I don't have any makeup on..." Jimin-ssi. Please. Slip off your chelsea boots, leave your hair alone and relax a little. It's not like you've NEVER done a live before with no makeup and bed head.
We have JK on one side being the free-spirit/in-the-moment-go-with-the-mood vibe and Jimin on the other side being rigid and in total control of everything.
I'm still salty because Jimin censored himself during his Face album live when he realized there were young people watching as he was about to explain his concept of looking in the bathroom mirror in the Like Crazy MV.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I see a collision happening with these two mindsets and I think Jimin sees it too hahahahaha! "I'M SCARED OF YOU!" he doesn't know what kind of shenanigans will happen when they are together on a live because we also know Jimin LOVES HIS JK and can't resist climbing all over him when they are together!
Who could resist that:
Tumblr media
Jungkook swapped the stud in his newest lip piercing for another lip ring and he re-pierced his right ear and the jewelry is very pretty. The earrings have a very fine chain hanging from the first to the last hoop. Edgy and delicate at the same time.
Tumblr media
We have expectations now for his next live. Keep moving those chains JK! Maybe joking about a live while showering is not such a joke after all.... I'm kinda scared too, Jimin.
JK's July 27 live:
I had started a blog post about the July 27 two and a half hour live but NOOOOoooOOOOOooo, JK has moved the line again with the naked-in-the-bed live, so it's almost pointless to blog about the one from the previous day now.
Except I was thrilled when he responded to my ask if he had seen Jimin's Barbie guitar. What a thrill to interact with him in real time... I'm still just... wow ...
But a few things I took away from that two and a half hour live:
JK getting so emotional when he watched and listened to the Army Love Letter song. I broke down in tears as soon as I saw him being overcome.
And the live translating is not automated, its done by real people:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
About 15 minutes into this purple 2.5 hour live, someone must have asked about Tae's album because JK says yes, he's heard a few songs and they're good. I am very excited to hear what Tae has created, especially after seeing the music critic say it is something unexpected. Of course, Tae's love for Bing Crosby-ish vibes could be what he's talking about and that wouldn't surprise me if that's the direction Tae goes. Later, someone in the comments asked if Tae would do a Seven dance challenge with him and he said Tae wouldn't do it. Why not Tae? Hmmphf. Fine.
Anyway...
Right before logging out, JK sang Jimin's Dear.Army (Letter) swaying back and forth so sweetly!!!! It was so beautiful. Might be the closest we come to hearing them singing it together. He loves that song.
Tumblr media
Tomorrow we get to watch JK's episode of Suchwita and the day after that we will see him on Inkagayo.
All of that and I still think about Jimin and Jungkook had a camera crew with them on that dang boat in Connecticut a few weeks ago... if it was for a Seven TikTok, shouldn't it have been out by now?... so where will we eventually see that? Hmmmmmm???

Taehyung's beautiful "Rainy Days" (Song Analysis)
*taps mic* is this thing on?
Well...it's been a while, hasn't it? We've been silent but we are still very much around, still listening to the Tannie's music, watching all the content, still loving vmin and namjin, we watched all streamable D-Day concerts, the Disney+ movies, all of it, we've just basically been keeping our ARMY time to ourselves.
But then came Tae.
But then came Rainy Days. And we were lured back here to scream a little at what we've gotten.
And yes, before the inevitable anons come to try and discredit everything in this post, yes we are aware that (so far) Tae doesn't have any writing credits on the songs on Layover, Love Me Again and Rainy Days. But try as you might, no one can ignore just how vmin coded Rainy Days is and how specific some of the references are. Everyone picked up on it, regardless if they were a vminie, OT7 non-shipper, or even a xkooker. Posts crying about and pointing toward Park Jimin being the one were everywhere and honestly, I've missed moments like there.
So, Rainy Days, huh, let's talk about the vmin references, shall we?
youtube
First of all, can we talk about just how gorgeous and atmospheric Rainy Days is? And how very Taehyung it is? Because it just fits him truly so perfectly, just like Love Me Again does. I love how the soft mellowness of the song contrasts with the brutalistic architecture of the building shown in the MV, the old-school iMac, and the little Pomeranian acting as Yeontan. I did get tricked into thinking it was Yeontan until Tae did his live and told us, nope, that's Rocky, a doggy looking very close to how Yeontan does since he couldn't travel with Tae. We know Yeontan has health issues, so I should've guessed as much, but either way, it is absolutely adorable how much love for Yeontan is in Tae's debut as solo artist. Find you someone that'll love you as much and as deeply as Tae loves Yeontan. I'll wait.
I love the use of the iPhone sounds within the song, the notification tone as well as the typing sound, though it isn't very fitting (it also reminds me of vmin, how they enjoy FaceTiming, texting and calling each other) for someone who was the Samsung Galaxy ambassador ha ha. Wonder what Yoongi had to say about that.
But moving along to the lyrics, as well as two moments from the MV itself, there are a few vmin references that are hard to ignore. And they were "obvious" enough that basically everyone picked up on them.
The first little thing, and this one could very well be a reach, is this Little Prince/Jimin connection. In the MV Tae falls asleep watching TV and we're shown clips of a fox and a flower which immediately made everyone think of the fox and flower from the Little Prince, and then also the moment in the first season of In the Soop when Tae and Hobi went on their little trip and spotted a mural/poster for the Little Prince. Adorable.
Tumblr media
Then in the second verse we have Tae singing the following line:
We can start again, open all the doors
The mention of doors made me perk up because it instantly reminded me of this line in Sweet Night:
That I still hope the door is open
So it feels like, if Rainy Days really is a vmin song, it would either play before Sweet Night, or after, when something came between them but Tae wanted a second chance, still had a hope that they could be together and that all things aren't lost yet.
Tumblr media
Now this, who do we know basically laughs at anything and everything Tae says, who has mentioned time and again that Tae is the funniest, like in one of the RUN episodes he mentioned how Tae had been making him laugh all day as well's throughout the filming? That's right, our boy Jimin.
Don't believe me? Well, check out this thread and see for yourself.
Next we have the line:
You're my four-leaf clover
Do I really need to explain this one? In a BB or memories DVD, I don't remember exactly, we had a moment when Tae was looking for a four-leafed clover and Jimin, to surprise and make him happy, went and acted as though he'd found one for it (though it wasn't a real four leaf one) which made Tae happy anyway. Years later for their performance of HOME, standing in front of what appeared to be a reference to the Mirror or Erised, we saw vmin wearing matching four-leaf clover necklaces with Tae appearing next to Jimin as though he was what Jimin's heart desired the most.
Tumblr media
Then in the MV we have a scene where Tae is in some kind of art room creating. Eventually he picks up a baguette, which points for originality, and uses it to paint a Vante art piece showing a painting that looks like an alien with its little antennas. And who reclaimed the alien "nickname" just a few years and and who is basically the only one who can still call him that? Exactly. Jimin.
Tumblr media
Speaking of whom, further in the lyrics we get this line:
Those hurtful words
And sure, perhaps I'm delulu and reaching, whatever, let me have fun, but still that line reminded me of something. FESTA 2020 where Jimin spoke about how he was sorry for the things in the past, how they were buddies back then (I'm still waiting for him to elaborate on that one, they were buddies back then so, Jiminie, what are you now? Care to share?) and got into a lot of disagreements and how he now feels sorry for the harsh words he used with Tae. And Harsh words can very much be hurtful. So another potential reference?
Tumblr media
At the end of the day, as I mentioned before, Tae doesn't have writing credits on Rainy Days but, as you just read, those things just fit a little too well to be just a coincidence, right? So perhaps, just like they'd done with Chingu years prior, maybe Tae sat down with the producers/lyricist and told them what he wants in the song?
And that would be it. We're both extremely excited for the rest of Layover, for the next 3 (!!!) MVs, and all the promo Tae mentioned he has planned (based on ideas and things he saw ARMY had mentioned wishing for) and if he'll have writing credits on any of the songs. But it is a little strange to me how Tae has been so outspoken about working on and writing songs for his mixtapes for years, how he'd shown us snippets from his songs, and yet now as we are getting his debut album, no writing credits (so far). Guess we shall wait and see.

Redacted Bois and Which K-pop Groups They’d Stan
Idk if there are a lot of K-pop+redacted fans there are out there but I made this for funsies 😋🫶🏼
David is more of a casual listener, but whenever he’s working out or doing yard work, he listens to EXO. He got really into it when he was younger and bought one of their albums. He then played it for a whole month. Angel was trying not to laugh when he accidentally played Monster on the speakers near the pool (they secretly liked it tho).
Asher definitely listens to Block B. He likes to blast their music anytime, anywhere. On the way to the grocery store? Absolutely banging to Very Good. Cooking? Accidentally burning the food to Nalili Mambo. Trying to get Babe’s attention? Passionately singing Her. He just gets really hyped when he listens to them.
Milo is secretly an aghase and could talk about GOT7 for hours if you ask him about it. He's really passionate about them and their music. Sometimes he uses Teenager or If You Do as entrance music, like sitting on the bed waiting for Sweetheart to come in. He was pretty upset when they announced that they won't be actively making music together, but he still enjoys all of their solo projects/music.
Vincent is a huge ENHYPEN stan. Their whole concept is vampires but despite that, Vincent really likes their music. He and Lovely started watching their survival show and then became obsessed with them once they debuted. He knows the point dance from each title track and learned the Bite Me partner choreo with Lovely.
Sam listens to Girls’ Generation as a guilty pleasure. He accidentally clicked on the music video for Gee back in 2008 and has followed them ever since. He was pretty embarrassed when Darlin’ caught him listening to it, but he was able to convince them to listen to it with him.
Gavin doesn’t really stan a certain group but likes a lot of solo artists, specifically Taemin, Kai, and Hwa Sa. He just feels so connected to their music and actively follows their releases. He was listening to some of their music one day, Freelancer asked what he was listening to, he showed them and they liked it too. They've definitely listened to Mmmh by Kai while making out. he is mr rover and he is coming over
Lasko doesn't listen to really big groups in the industry and instead likes the K-bands more, specifically Day6. He gets into his feels when he listens to them (especially since i hc that hes a hopeless romantic). He learned Korean just so he could sing Congratulations and Zombie even though theres an english ver.
Damien got really into SHINee in high school. He was kind of a toxic stan though 💀. He would get into fights on Twitter and (almost) physical fights at school. He would stay up until 3 am to start streaming music the moment the MVs would drop and then yell at people online to start streaming. But don't worry, he's calmed down now. He gets pretty nostalgic when Sherlock plays on shuffle.
Huxley really liked GFRIEND and supported them in any way that he could, such as streaming, buying albums, and voting them for MusicBank. He tried to show Damien their songs and played Rough but Damien wasn't really into it. He was devastated when they disbanded and Damien had to comfort him for a whole week. He's just such a wholesome girl group stan, it's adorable.
Caelum likes to dance and sing to a lot of PENTAGON and SEVENTEEN songs, even though he doesn't know what the lyrics mean. His favorite songs are Naughty Boy and Pretty U, respectively. Both groups have a lot of members, but he doesn't know all of them. He likes to watch the MVs with Freelancer and point out the few members he does know.
Elliott likes TXT's more chill songs like Fairy of Shampoo and Ghosting. He's a very relaxed fan when it comes to them. He knows all the members and their songs but isn't super active in the community or when it comes to buying merch. Whenever a new album comes out he'll listen to it for about a week and then put his favorites into a playlist. Sunshine started liking them because of him and probably asked him to make a dreamscape that was a TXT concert.
Blake isn't really into it but randomly listened to Love Scenario by iKON and cried to it after looking up the lyrics. He had it on repeat for a whole week.
Guy fell into the “I just want to know their names” trope with TWICE and BTS. He thought it would be funny if he randomly/ironically knew the members’ names and ended up being a HUGE stan of both. Bought every album, lightstick, and a lot of official merch. He’s been to a lot of their concerts and literally screams the fan chants. He biases Jin and Dahyun and has their photo cards in his phone case, as well as an RJ sticker.
Geordi saw NewJeans in a Coca-cola advertisement, decided to check out their music, and ended up really liking their music. It introduced him to K-pop and he casually listens to a lot of groups, but NewJeans is his ult. Their songs are really catchy so they end up playing in his mind 24/7, sometimes somehow mixing with the Tetris theme. He likes all of their songs but his current favorites are Super Shy and ASAP.

💗i went to uni to watch one of my friends present something to the juniors! then I spent the afternoon chatting with my guide and later on went window shopping with my best friends (in retrospect i should not have done this because my ankle got infinitely worse the next day and now I'm stuck resting at home for an additional two weeks) 🎮playing undertale with @muakrrr 📺 ongoing: Marry my Husband, Cherry Magic Th, Perfect Propose, Doctor Slump, Flex X Cop 📺 binged: Blueming, Roommates of Poongduck 304 📹 Started watching Going Seventeen // so I've been listening to SVT for a while now and I did watch their Don't Lie II eps like two years ago but I never really checked anything else... however, considering that I'm stuck at home and that @zzzzzestforlife (who has impeccable taste) has mentioned it often on their posts, I decided to check out GoSe properly and. wow. I started with their mystery episodes [fav scenes under cut] and now I'm watching GoSe2020 in chronological order and !!!!!! The concepts, the storylines, the acting, the humour, the editing, even the subtitles are all so so good. I've been watching this show for two weeks now and I am now officially a cubic <3
📻 This week's soundtrack
Wk1: The Best of ATEEZ // I've been real obsessed since their 2024 world tour clips started showing up on social media; I was a casual enjoyer up to this point and then I went and checked them out and it's all so dystopian and immersive. My favourites would be Intro: Long Journey (which makes me feel like I'm in Pirates of the Caribbean), the Symphony version of Wonderland (for its musicality and Jungho hitting those notes), MATZ (that is insane in it's the visual storytelling in the MV) and Wake Up (whose performance choreo ended me) Wk2: The Best of BTS // in an attempt to revive a project I abandoned a year ago, I spent wayy too much time curating this playlist to get the most satisfying BTS transitions ever and I can confidently say that I'm nowhere close to my goal T-T but I kind of like the way it is now so I am simply going to give up

[Feb 12 to Feb 25 ; week 7+8/52 || this was not supposed to be one post but then... idk what happened... I feel very dull lately because of my ankle and just when I thought it was getting better it's become painful again... my friends and parents keep chastising me (and fairly so) for trying to move around even before I fully heal but patience has never been my strong suit. sitting still is really the biggest punishment for a hyperactive ADHD kid like me... i'm sure plenty others have it worse but... yeah... GoSe really carrying my mental health right now ]

OMG!! HI! I love your writings I hope you're having/had a great day it would be amazing to see the girls visiting chan during the wait mv please
Tumblr media
Haerim was one of the first to arrive. She quietly came onto set while Dino was filming. When he was watching the scene he had just filmed she snuck up behind him to watch over his shoulder. The staff who saw this laughed at how Dino hadn't noticed Haerim's presence. After watching the scene Dino told the director he would like to do it again. "I think I can do better." he said. "I think you were really cool." Haerim spoke behind him.
Dino turned around so fast with a hilariously cute look of surprise that Haerim couldn't help bursting into laughter. "Noona!" Dino said, almost breathless from shock. After calming down she gave him an encouraging pat on the back. "How are you feeling?" she asked him.
"Good," he relied." I'm feeling good."
"You're doing really well." Haerim complimented him. Looking at the camara shooting behind the scenes, she gave a thumbs up.
"Our Maknae is working really hard. I'm impressed."
"Thank you Noona." Dino smiled, slinging an arm around her shoulder to give her a side hug. "Haerim Noona was most excited when I told her. She said 'whoa really, that's awesome."
She laughed at the way Dino imitated her reaction. "It is though. Chanie's been talking about it for a long time. Seeing him reaching one of his goals make's me so proud." she put her hand on her chest to emphasize her feelings. "I'm so happy, really."
Dino had to get back to filming so Haerim gave him one last encouraging pat on he back before slipping away. "I'll be watching and if you need anything call me."
Next to arrive was Sage and Sunnie. They walked onto set together, arm in arm as if they'd just came from a leisurely stroll. "Where is he!?" Sunnie said, a bit too loudly. Sage could only laugh at the overly excited girl. "Where's that Lee Chan!?" Dino, who was having a short brake and was talking to Hoshi, heard them coming.
"Oh no." he said, with a look of (pretend) fear. Hoshi laughed at his reaction before getting up to make his exit to see what food catering had in the waiting room. "Yah don't leave me!"
"There he is!" Sunnie spotted him and dragged Sage along towards him.
Getting up to greet the older members, he smiled at them as they reached him. "Hello."
It only took two seconds before the two girls were all over him. "Wow Dino, you look so cool!" Said Sunnie, looking him up and down.
"Are you feeling well? Are you tried?" Sage asked him, seeing the tiredness on Dino's face.
"Yes!" Dino said firmly, making the older girls laugh. "Yes to both of those questions. I'm tired but I feel great."
Sunnie gave the camara a thumbs up. "Our Dino will push through to the end!"
"I was worried after knowing the shoot will be done in one day." Sage confessed, turning to Dino. "He's working so hard, I'm proud of him."
"Carat, listen to Wait a lot! It's so good!" Said Sunnie to the camara. Sage nodded in agreement while Dino thanked them for their support.
The staff signalled them that it was time to get back to work. "Fighting!!" The two girls gave Dino some more encouragement before he continued on with the music video shoot.
Zora arrived with Wonwoo and Dokyeom. She sat with them at a table on set.
"I'm here to support our Dino's first mixtape." DK said with a proud smile. Zora clapped her hands in the background, nodding her head.
"So cool!" Wonwoo said, watching the maknae in the distance, making DK and Zora laugh.
"Don't do that!" Said Zora, giving the older man a small hit on the arm.
"He hasn't even started. Don't 'so cool' him yet." Laughed DK.
Sunnie was also seen standing with Mingyu when Seungkwan was talking into the directors microphone. She laughed at what Seungkwan was saying. She then did a peace pose with Mingyu towards the camaras.
Haerim was seen standing with S.Coups when he arrived at the site.
Being in proud big sister mode, Zora was seen taking photos of Dino as he filmed the last dance scene. She would later upload them to Weverse after the music videos release.

Whenever I try to make a Milgram song ranking I agonize over my placements for way too long, so instead I'm making a list of which prisoner's song I prefer for each one (main trial songs only... for now) ((this is ranking them primarily on the songs themselves, not taking MVs into account))
Haruka: It's a very, very close call and it's flip-flopped for a while but my final decision is Weakness. All-Knowing and All-Agony is also very good though.
Yuno: Umbilical. I don't even like Umbilical but Tear Drop is just so boring to me that it wins more or less by default.
Fuuta: Backdraft. Though Bring It On has grown on me a lot more recently, it can't beat the certified banger that is Backdraft.
Muu: It's Not My Fault. To be honest I'm not super attached to either, but I do prefer it to After Pain by a significant margin (even though After Pain was the first Milgram song I saw).
Shidou: So, funny story: Throw Down remains the only Milgram song I fully zoned out of on my first watch. As such Triage would take it by default, but even on its own it stands up pretty well.
Mahiru: I Love You, mostly because I'm still so surprised by her rap but she really sells it well! I do like TIHTBILWY, but I find it gets a little repetitive.
Kazui: I know a lot of people put half really low down on rankings for being too slow but I really love it - one of my favs of Trial 1! With all that being said, Cat still takes it here, being the pure bop that it is.
Amane - Magic. I don't like The Purge March opening with spoken verse (while I do understand and respect the decision, I don't like how it sounds as a full song with that) and while I do like its ending it's just not that good to listen to for me.
Mikoto: MeMe. Other spots on rankings may differ but I consistently consider MeMe to be my #1 pick for T1 songs. In comparison, Double has too many abrupt starts and stops for me to listen to it nicely as a song by itself.
Kotoko: Deep Cover. This one was pretty hard; Harrow is really good but the thing that puts Deep Cover just a little ahead of it for me is single-handedly that ending where she puts so more much emotion into the singing.

Jimin is my bias wrecker. My bias is Yoongi.
so change your pinned post??
bc you don't bias jimin 💀
Story time! Let me share a bit of my army journey (about biases).
Daechwita was the first ever music video I watched related to BTS. I then went on to watch Agust D MV and listened to the D2 album. While I was also exploring BTS MVs, I was following Yoongi's lyricism and personal journey. I related a lot to him on a personal level and felt seen- his struggles, his comments on society and humans, his initial inability to show emotions, and usually being the quieter one. I gradually saw how his personality and attitude changed in content over the years and finally with DDay album, he shared his healing journey which was nothing but inspiring.
After Yoongi, RM and Jhope have bias wrecked me, in that order, but the wreckage didn't stay. I appreciated them but the obsession didn't stay. But then Jimin was the first vocal line member who had caught my attention from the start. My eyes were always drawn to him in every choreo and performance. My love for performance and dance were the first things that attracted me to Jimin. The love for Jimin grew gradually, as I discovered that he's not only a great performer, but also a very dedicated hard worker, creative genius, mature and artistic person. And the obsession STAYED. I realised his words always had a lot of weight, wisdom and diplomacy. I realised the 'once you jimin, you can't jimout' is literally real. Once he has charmed you, there's no going back.
This made me wonder if my bias had finally changed to Jimin. But apparently in kpop, bias is someone who you can most relate to. So I thought about it, and no, Jimin is very different than me. He's a hard worker ( I'm a procrastinator), he's always so ready to love and open to love people (not me), he loves being around people and lastly he's very very introspective, and thinks big. Even his introspection is self-less and he thinks about the bigger picture. Me and Jimin are very different. So what is Jimin to me then? Not bias, but wrecker. ( If we go by kpop rules)
But if you look at it, Jimin is the idol i obsess over. Jimin's music is the one I stream the most. Jimin makes me want to work hard for him. Everytime there's a jimin related content, i run to watch it. And I never get tired of praising him for his performances. Yesterday, I was trying to plan a concert for Jimin in my head- the song sequence, the concept, the costumes lol.
That's why in my pinned post, i decided to ditch the technical meanings of bias and bias wrecker. I just thought if Jimin is the one I think about most, it's just safe to call him my bias.
Yoongi will always have a sweet spot in my heart because he makes me feel seen. D2 will always be one of my most cherished albums and I will always look out for his work.
But I am still more excited for pjm2 more than anything, lol.
While my love for Yoongi is more calm, for Jimin it's more energetic, makes me want to do stuff and occupies my mind most of the time. That's why my love for Yoongi is what I keep to myself, but my love for Jimin is something i want to shout out and talk about endlessly.
While I can aspire to be like Yoongi, I cannot aspire to be like Jimin, because I will never be Jimin. He's a once in a lifetime artist and I'm here to thank my fate everyday that I was born in the same timeline as him.

My Thoughts on RUSH! Track By Track:
OWN MY MIND: 9.5/10
STARTING WITH A BANGER OMG It's so fire I started bouncing when it got to the chorus it's so good and an awesome choice for an opening track we're off to an amazing start. Very punk-esque and the lyric video fits the same vibe.
GOSSIP: 9/10
Obviously I've already shared my thoughts about this song and I'd be lying if I said it hasn't grown on me more since I made that statement. I've been singing it to myself everyday while I cook for like four days now. It's so catchy, the MV is a total vibe, and I do like the meaning behind it.
TIMEZONE: 9/10
These are lyrics to definitely scream when you're just going through a bad time. I mean I know it's symbolic of a long distance relationship but I feel like many people can relate to it. Also love that little sexy bit snuck into the middle there lmao
BLA BLA BLA: 10/10
ICONIC BADDIE ANTHEM IDC IDC IT FUCKING SLAPS AND SO FAR IT'S MY FAVE IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A BAD BITCH AND HONESTLY THAT'S JUST WHAT WE ALL NEED SOMETIMES WE NEED THAT BAD BITCH ENERGY IN FULL SWING YES WE FUCKING DO
BABY SAID: 9.5/10
I was pleasantly surprised by this one lol by the title I thought it was gonna be a ballad but it's very funky but like in a rock way and I love ittttt plus the lyric video with Vic just totally vibing made it even better
GASOLINE: 8.5/10
Obviously we've all heard this song before but I'm glad they put it on the album because I've been wanting so save it so bad lmao but it's such a powerful song and I can feel the activist rage radiating off of it every time I listen to it.
FEEL: 10/10
FAVE FAVE FAVE OMFG THIS SONG SET MY FUCKING SOUL ON FIRE THE GUITAR AND THE SLOWER PARTS TOGETHER I'M SO !!!!! Dami's voice is incredible and the lyric video is just... I'm being so normal about it.
DON'T WANNA SLEEP: 10/10
YES YES YES GIVE ME MORE ANGSTY HARD ROCK SONGS GIVE THEM TO ME NOW. Also the mini guitar solo at the end? Addicting. PLUS...that Lucy's diamonds lyric...A BEATLES REFERENCE?! +1000000 POINTS HOLY FUCK
KOOL KIDS: 10/10
Personally, I tried to avoid listening to as many concert versions of the song as I could until now because I wanted to go in somewhat blankly and I'm so glad I did because THAT WAS AWESOME I LOVE IT and I think I'm starting to notice a pattern with all the songs I'm rating 10s lmao
IF NOT FOR YOU: 8/10
This is a song that you need to have blasting in your headphones while you gaze longingly out of a car window while it's raining, watching the drops race down the glass and rooting for one in particular, only for them to join together to make one drop in the end and that's the only way I can describe this song. I can see Må performing this live and the entire crowd is just belting out the lyrics right along with them.
READ YOUR DIARY: 10/10
PUNK ANTHEM HELL FUCKING YEAH I'M IN LOVE also another astounding guitar solo? THOMMY YOU ABSOLUTE MAD LAD THE TALENT YOU HOLD IS INDESCRIBABLE. 100% ANOTHER FAVE TRACK. Also, aesthetically speaking, the lyric video is everything I wanna be and more.
MARK CHAPMAN: 10/10
SURPRISE IT'S IN ITALIAN I love this one so much I CAN'TTT it's so good it had me jumping in my mf chair !!!!! And AGAIN WITH THE BOMB ASS GUITAR SOLOS THOMAS RAGGI YOU REALLY POPPED OFF WITH THESE THINGS plus the lyric video is so special to me I know it's just them walking back and forth but it's special how they each have their own runway walk I can't explain it you either get it or you don't
LA FINE: 9.5/10
I've already shared my thoughts about this but it definitely has that Teatro D'Ira Vol. 1 vibe we've all been dearly missing and it's just an incredible sound that will always be iconic
IL DONO DELLA VITA: 9.5/10
If y'all thought LA FINE was reminiscent of TDV1, you're gonna LOVE this one. It sounds so much like it that I can't help but listen to it and be like "That's the Måneskin I know" because it's SO symbolic of their sound. The way I view it is that this song, just based on sound and vibes alone, is LA PAURA DEL BUIO's younger, more emo sibling and no I will not take criticism on that because I know I'm right. Also the lyric video is majestic and I'm right about that too.
MAMMAMIA: 10/10
Again, another one we've all heard and there's no debate it's incredible and I still come back to the MV and lyric video every now and again because they're just as iconic as the song itself.
SUPERMODEL: 8/10
This one has truly divided the fandom lmao but for me personally I like it and it's a song I listen to and then forget about for a bit and then I listen to it again and remember how much I love it. Idc it slaps and it's in my playlist for a reason.
THE LONELIEST: 10/10
Again, no question. The perfect song to cry to while simultaneously screaming the lyrics. The MV is a cinematic masterpiece and the song is so emotionally wracking in the perfect way. Damiano's lyrics are either fun and quirky, super fucking angsty, or poetically deep and meaningful there is no in between.
CONCLUSION: This album is a No-Skips album and probably one of the best albums I've ever heard and I will not be listening to anything else for the next month. Thank you and goodnight.

thank u @archonfurina for the tag + questions! this was a v fun way for me to secretly pass time at work <3
‧₊˚ ˚ ༘♡ ⋆。˚ soft ask game ‧₊˚ ˚ ༘♡ ⋆。˚
01. a character you love.
Lee Gyu-Hyuk. i think about him every day. i listen to songs that make me think of him and make lil music videos in my head. he is... what can i even say ㅠㅠ very vague general non-spoiler spoilers, but everyone in Buried Stars Game ™ has their issues and Gyu-Hyuk is no exception, but he works so hard to take care of others and he's so kind and caring IT DRIVES ME CRAZY ACTUALLY hahahaha i am SO normal about him...
02. your favourite food from your culture.
i have been pondering this for days and i just dont know TT i dont want to act like because i'm from the US i have no culture but also it's hard for me to figure out what our cultural foods are. umm i guess i really like pumpkin pie? also pizza my beloved. i know pizza is not exactly an american thing but also. the way we do it is, so. i shall count it. pizza my beloved
03. what your dream apartment / room / house is like.
ooh okay. it's definitely gotten a bit smaller as i've gotten older, but it'd be nice to have more room than i've got now. not to go toooo wild but i'd love a 3 bed 2 bath single level house with a garage/shed and a porch?? with enough room for both me + my partner to have nice pc setups. also barely related but... i want a nice desk so bad 😭 my dad had one that's sitting unused in my mom's house and i dont have room for it at my apartment but it's so nice and sturdy and i journal a ton and would fucking LOVE to have an actually nice space to do it
04. your personal style or aesthetic.
tried thinking about this on my own and could NOT come up with an answer, so i asked my sisters for their input and i got "stinking cute" and "turbo punk with pop overtones" so take those how you will
05. a happy memory.
when i was a teenager, most thursdays i would go to a roller skating rink with a few friends. we'd skate for hours and pester the dj to play marina and the diamonds songs. then afterwards we'd go to the huge 24-hour grocery store across the street and buy ice cream and/or doughnuts and we'd sit in the car eating and talking for hours.
06. your favourite way(s) to spend time.
i am. such a homebody. i like doing all sorts of things but i honestly love just being at home with my partner and playing video games. oh. also i love eating. it is a hobby <3
07. story behind your url / title / quote / description / icon.
cryborgs i believe kinda came from VIXX's "Error" mv, not any type of direct reference, but just the vibe. my blog title is a slightly weirdly translated line from We Best Love, a bl drama that infected my brain for a while in 2021 (i still love it ok im not over it). i never know what to put in my description so i usually just put the media i'm currently watching/playing but also i dont update it so it's almost always wrong 💀 annnnd my icon is my beloved Han Do-Yoon from Buried Stars Game ™...... i love him.....
08. something that comforts you or brings you joy.
i dont watch it regularly anymore, but Running Man. regardless of what bad things are going on, i know i can turn on an old ep and be happy for 1.3 hours. it's gotten me through so much school stress, family issues, and general mental unwellness, it'll always have a place in my heart.
09. what you're looking forward to.
i started writing this a week ago and the thing i was looking forward to already passed soo um,. i really don't have anything too notable right now? i am looking forward to being done with my 6pm meeting -_-
10. something else that's important to you.
hmmmmmm i have this brain problem where sometimes i get pedantic about the meaning of words so right now i am like, "important" ?? what is it,,,, for somethign to be "important" .... anyways i think journaling is something that probably fits the bill? it's something i enjoy doing and i really like having a written record of things to look back on, and being able to see how i felt about things in the moment they were happening. i also journal about video games a lot and it's so fun to look back at the times Before big twists and reveals... ah my innocence...

Hey 😘 I really appreciate the tag @first-kanaphan ❤❤❤
When you get this, list 5 songs from the Asian QL media that you actually listen to.
🎧 they do not have to be custom made for the series.
🎧 non western tracks only. Let’s support Asian music and languages!
🎧 feel free to tag anyone who may be interested in participating.
🎧 add the tag #5qls to your post for others to find the new favorites!
1. So I will start with this beauty, iconic... it rolls in my head with pain and that soulmate romance feeling... And it's like visceral to me.
youtube
2. I'll continue the suffering and choose this one from Eternal Yesterday... it breaks my heart and soothes it at the same time.
youtube
3. I really love this song. The icon Tay Tawan it's not very know by his singing, but I'm so enchanted by it 😉 I don't know what is it that I like so much, and the mv with Tay singing while observing forcebook? I melt!
Because of this song I even named a cat Enchanté and give her the nickname TeTe, like in the series☺
youtube
4. I have to put this cause it's fucking unhealthy how many times I listen to this fucking anthem. I can't help! It makes me feel so much. I love when things can make this to me. The mv always destroys me.
youtube
5. This one right here!!! My dear, my beloved song, from my beloved We Best Love. "Grabs it and murmur: my precious".
I freaking don't speak chinese, but I can sing the lyrics to this whole song okayyy?!###
ps: Alex Chou is great! I adore his other songs, including: The Love Letter, that it's the ost for WBL season2 and My tooth for your love from the bl My tooth Your love (he acts in the series too!!! 💖)
youtube
And...
...I'll put an addition cause it's my favorite bl!
It's such an important song to me, cause its the reason why We Best Love is what it is. The producers of the series watched this mv and invited YU for the role of Zhou Shu Yi, and rewrited the character for him to accommodate his japanese roots too!!! So this right here, it's a blessing by the universe. ❤🙏🏻
youtube
And...
youtube
Cause I love love love Bank performance in this!!! ( even with his difficulty with the english lyrics, the boy tried his best and worked hard for it.)...And Jeff Satur writed the song.... Amazing!
I could put all the My School President songs (❤), all the Kinnporsche songs too (❤),and the king PP Kritt with his admirable queer mv's (who's doing like him being queer and proud in Asia??? 👑)... Cause they're all so important to me... But choices had to be made!

Tagged by @belladonna-and-the-sweetpeas, and this was a fantastically fun, low-pressure thing to spend a little bit of time doing, so thank you for the enrichment activity! I probably talked too much, but here we go. Song links are to YT.
Put my On Repeat playlist from Spotify on shuffle, and here are the first 10 songs that came up - and ... oh, lol. This is maybe not as cool and edgy as I’ve managed to look in similar memes in the past? otoh, I'm finding it kind of interesting how many of these have actual dance associations, this time around.
1. Rabbit Hole, Natalia Kills - I had to laugh when this one popped up first - this one's on my Only Friends playlist, although I had kind of forgotten quite what a banger it was, until I dug it out again. If only I knew how to vid, y'all would absolutely get a full-length OFTS vid to this.
2. Before He Cheats, Carrie Underwood - Ha! This one is ALSO off my Only Friends playlist. This was the first one that went on the playlist, in anticipation. I figured the unhinged energy would be appropriate before we were through.
3. Girls In Their Summer Clothes, Bruce Springsteen - I have loved Bruce Springsteen with my whole and entire heart ever since a friend’s older sister introduced us to his music when I was in middle school, and I knowingly and deliberately imported my own experience of discovering Springsteen into “In Ordinary Time” and imprinted it onto Ray Mukada with very few changes and without the least bit of shame. There are a handful of Springsteen albums that hold a particularly special place in my heart, and Magic is one of those. This song’s actually really light, comparatively, but it’s gorgeous and breezy while still being full and rich in that way the E Street Band can’t really miss, and it feels like summer. I’ve been enjoying it so much in the waning days of heat with that cooler air edging underneath the night breeze. It … makes me want to shag, even though it’s not beach music. It's clearly a creation of the boardwalk, even if its accent is Jersey, instead of Carolina.
4. Work Song, Hozier - The MV for this one - choreographed by Jillian Meyers - is fantastic, and my obsession with the song was really cemented after seeing Lex Ishimoto and Gaby Diaz dance to it for SYTYCD - a piece choreographed by Mandy Moore and clearly influenced by the MV. I must have watched that particular performance 100 times by now. The show used a cover by Luke Wade, but I do prefer Hozier’s original version. It will sometimes drop off the On Repeat playlist, but as soon as it turns up again in the shuffle, it ends up back on repeat.
5. lovely, Billie Eilish with Khalid - I have not been the same about this song since I somehow stumbled across Ten and Winwin's choreography to it on YT. I have no idea how I found it - I know literally nothing about WayV, NCT, Ten or Winwin except this choreographed piece (which you also have to see the live performance of, because while it's not as clean, it gives a better view of how Ten appears to be almost, kind of, puppetting Winwin in one section). I would poke someone’s grandma in the eye (ok, not really) for a chance to get my hands on the “ring and portrait” remix they use, but meanwhile, the original version will do.
6. Lyfjaberg, Wardruna - Healing Mountain. So, my morning routine, on the days I work, is to get to the hospital about 20 minutes ahead of when I actually need to be there, so I can sit in my car and breathe and meditate and do some self-reiki right before everything starts. I usually don't listen to anything on my way into work, but on the days I do, the days when things are going hard, like the past few weeks, with heavy patient loads and high acuity - this is the song I listen to on that drive in, on repeat. (The weeks I'm working with end of life patients, I tend to use Helvegen for this, instead, or alternate them.)
7. My Silver Lining, First Aid Kit - Thanks, The Umbrella Academy. I downloaded this one on Spotify about 12.6 seconds after hearing it on a S3 ep of the show, and I don't know that it's ever left the On Repeat playlist since then.
8. Letters From The Sky, Civil Twilight - Huh. A couple of weeks ago, about three bars from this song wisped through my mind, and I was haunted by them until I could finally manage to get my fingers in them and hold them down long enough to trace them to some lyrics in my memory, and then I had to google those couple of lines to finally pin down the actual song. And then I went and dl’d it and have listened to it A LOT, apparently. It was used for a fanvid that I watched obsessively a bajillion years ago – so long that I’m not entirely certain who it even featured, although I’m … pretty sure? … that it was Agron x Nasir from Starz’s Spartacus. I might have even first seen the vid back when I’d only watched a Nagron supercut, before I saw the full show. I can't for the life of me find it anymore - there's a Spartacus vid on YT now that uses it but it's a more general S1 vid, and that's absolutely not the one I remember, which included footage of the operation on Nasir in the abandoned temple.
9. Threat, WEARETHEGOOD/Frank Bentley/Skrxlla - Loooooool, THANK YOU, LITA. I picked this particular song up off of one of the eps of Love In The Air, one of the ones in the middle – this gets played over Payu and Pai having a practice race at the track. I was like, “waitaminit,” paused, went to google some lyrics so I could find the artist, and came back with this on dl’d on Spotify. It's another one that probably has not been off the On Repeat playlist since.
10. Sacrifice, The Weeknd - So, Vinh Nguyen choreographed a piece to this at Offstage Dance Studio that is totally and completely responsible for the way this song keeps popping up on my On Repeat playlist. I think I first ran across the choreo in a set with Baily Sok, Kinjaz's Jason Lin and Lex Ishimoto, but there's more than one version out there.
OK, if you've already been tagged or don't want to do this, don't worry, but tagging (hm, looks at recent notifications) @yagirlyacchan, @henpeckedho, @elementaldrop, @jill-question-mark, @liathebookwyrm. Go!

Tumblr media
the first trial is over and eiji and miki have a lot to say about it! they're going to talk about this trial's results, everyone's mvs and murders and also show that the prisoners are not the only people here who will change as the trial continues.
also, as i said before, even though the first trial has ended, everyone will still act like their "t1 versions" in the future posts until the second trial begins. there will be some changes though, like maybe for example someone will start acting more confident or quiet than usual.
Eiji: Guard 002.
Eiji: Guard 002, can you hear me?
Eiji: Miki, wake up!
Miki: Huh?..
Miki: O-oh, s-sorry! I was listening, I swear!
Eiji: It's fine, you dozed off only for a minute. But make sure to get enough sleep next time. I don't want you to fall asleep in the middle of something important.
Miki: ".. Is this how Eiji-san shows that he cares about me?"
Miki: O-okay! Sorry, can you repeat what you said earlier?
Eiji: Sure.
Eiji: So, the first trial is officially over. We have everyone's verdicts written down and I've already told all prisoners about our decisions.
Miki: .. They already know?
Eiji: Yeah. Some reactions were.. very fun to watch, haha.
Miki: .. Eiji-san, are you enjoying all this? I just want to know.
Eiji: Well..
Eiji: To be honest, not really.
Eiji: There's too many prisoners who have been voted innocent. I wish I could punish more of them..
Eiji: You're good at making me change my mind though. But just so you know, if any of those prisoners decide to show who they really are and end up hurting themselves or others, that's gonna be on you.
Miki: ...
Eiji: It doesn't mean that I'm blaming you for saving so many prisoners. I just hope you understand how important your decisions really are.
Miki: .. Y-yes, I understand.
Miki: I'm just looking at the list right now and..
Miki: It's not like I regret voting any of them innocent, of course, but..
Miki: I think I've just realized something.
Eiji: Hm? What is it?
Miki: Never mind.
Eiji: *sighs* You're acting weird today. You really should go and get some rest after we're done with this.
Miki: So why are we here anyway?
Eiji: I just wanted to discuss everyone's verdicts, that's all. It would be nice to go over them one last time.
Miki: .. Sure.
Miki: But is it okay for me to just sit here and listen to you while you talk? I.. don't have much to say about our decisions.
Eiji: Really, I thought that you will be a lot more excited since you've saved almost all prisoners.
Eiji: Haha, it's almost like you won or something.
Eiji: But okay, I'll gladly do the talking part. The very first prisoner has been voted guilty, so I'm more than happy to discuss it.
Eiji: A narcissist who's okay with doing anything to protect his reputation, even killing someone..
Eiji: Prisoner 001, Miyagawa Akio.
Eiji: Yeah, this guy definitely deserved to be voted guilty. Him claiming that it was his victim's fault for being more popular than him just made my blood boil.
Eiji: Just how heartless do you have to be to say stuff like that?
Miki: W-well, Miyagawa-san is young and emotional, so I think it's natural for him to blame everyone but himself..
Eiji: He blamed not only his victim, but even his own accomplice.
Eiji: .. To be honest, I find that part really interesting.
Miki: Why?
Eiji: You see, at first I thought that it was a classic case of "Well, it was my idea, but I wasn't the one who did it, so it's not my fault!"..
Eiji: But think about it. Right when we made it clear that he's gonna be judged for his crime, it's like he panicked and immediately mentioned that he had an accomplice. What a way to betray someone who was important to you.
Miki: But.. maybe Miyagawa-san's accomplice wasn't that important-
Eiji: They were.
Eiji: I wanted to check it for myself, so that's why I called them "stupid enough to follow his orders". He tried to protect them and said that they were loyal enough to follow his orders instead. He also became even more nervous when I asked if he liked them.
Miki: .. Hey, Eiji-san, may I ask something?
Miki: Why did you say that Miyagawa-san was a "terrible boyfriend"?
Miki: Do you think that Miyagawa-san and his accomplice were in a relationship?
Eiji: I have no idea who would fall for someone like him, but.. who knows. Some couples like to do everything together, even commit murder.
Eiji: But to be honest, I just said it to see his reaction.
Eiji: You were worried about him and you didn't want to vote him guilty at first, but I've managed to convince you after we watched his video and realized that we can't defend someone like him.
Miki: I think his video showed his accomplice as well and.. I think Miyagawa-san saw his accomplice as his only hope. They were the only person who stayed with him no matter what.
Eiji: I find it interesting that his video had very dark colors until that one figure appeared. If Akio's life was so nice until his rival started becoming more popular, why would his video look like that?
Miki: M-maybe he actually didn't like being popular-
Eiji: If that was the case, he wouldn't kill that guy. There must be something else.
Eiji: Ah, I remember the colors becoming dark again after that figure was executed by him. At first I thought that it's just supposed to show that the boy is dead now, but now I think it means something different.
Miki: .. How did Miyagawa-san react to his verdict?
Eiji: He was shocked at first, but then he laughed and said that I must be joking. When I confirmed that it's not a joke and showed him the results, he just stood there and didn't say anything. His eyes became more empty after that.
Eiji: .. Later that day I was told by other prisoners that he lost consciousness and they couldn't wake him up.
Miki: !
Miki: *stands up* Is he okay??
Eiji: He spent a whole day like that and he's still weak, but whatever, he's gonna be fine.
Eiji: I'm still gonna punish him, don't worry about it.
Eiji: A girl who thought her classmates laughed with her, while they actually laughed at her..
Eiji: Prisoner 002, Hanasaki Aimi.
Eiji: We have voted her innocent, but seriously, I thought you're gonna try harder to defend her.
Eiji: Did you find her video suspicious?
Miki: No, no, not at all, it's just..
Miki: .. I still don't get it.
Eiji: .. You don't know if she killed her classmates or someone else, right?
Miki: *nods*
Eiji: Her video doesn't show anyone else except her classmates, so of course, it's only natural to suspect that they were her victims.
Miki: But.. would someone like Aimi-chan be able to kill all of them?
Eiji: I want to say that you never know how dangerous someone can actually be, but it's surprisingly hard for me to figure her out.
Miki: Didn't she say that "it wasn't her classmates"?
Eiji: She actually said that it wasn't "one of her classmates".
Eiji: I find the way she said it very interesting.
Eiji: Also, that last part of her video confuses me a lot.
Eiji: She takes a nap, wakes up in a completely different place and sees some kind of creepy mask. What does that mean?
Miki: .. I feel like this place reminds me of something, but I just can't describe it.
Eiji: Are you saying that you've been there before or-
Miki: I-I think I've seen it somewhere, but it was in a much better state?..
Eiji: !
Eiji: Please, try your best to remember it. We still remember everything that happened to us before we came here, so seeing these murders in the news, hearing about them or even personally knowing the prisoners or their victims would make a lot of sense.
Miki: O-okay!
Miki: How did Aimi-chan react when you told her she's innocent?
Eiji: Her eyes lit up, she smiled and thanked me for "being so kind to her". She even called me and you her friends.
Miki: I'm so happy to hear that.. Aimi-chan really does deserve better.
Eiji: But for some reason, when I started to walk away, I noticed her not smiling anymore and looking.. confused, maybe?
Eiji: It's like she actually expected us to vote her guilty.
Eiji: He wanted to save someone he loved, even though they never asked him to save them.
Eiji: Prisoner 003, Ishizu Shun.
Eiji: *sighs*
Eiji: .. Innocent.
Miki: Eiji-san, we've already talked about this.
Miki: I don't want to sound mean, but.. Ishizu-san really is a bit weird.
Miki: Wait, no, he's not weird, he's just.. he's a very emotional kind of person!
Miki: Imagine what could happen if we voted him guilty..
Eiji: We have to judge them based on their crimes and not their personality, remember that.
Miki: .. I didn't judge him based on his personality.
Eiji: Huh?..
Miki: If we voted him guilty and he got punished, it would be impossible to make him tell us more about his crime. He would probably just forget about it again..
Miki: And to be honest, I didn't understand his video at all.
Eiji: .. You sounded really confident just now.
Miki: D-did I? Sorry..
Eiji: Don't apologize. You're really starting to act more like a guard.
Eiji: But yes, his video was very confusing. I think I'm starting to understand what's going on in his head.
Eiji: He doesn't have any kind of memory condition, he's just good at making himself believe that his life is better than it actually is and making himself forget all the bad things that have happened to him.
Eiji: .. I find something about his video very interesting. So you know how he always says that his ex was so important to him, right?
Eiji: .. Then why do we never actually see her in his video? We've seen Aimi's classmates and she claims that she loved them, but why do we never see Shun's ex? All the photos and messages are blurry and her face is hidden when she finally appears.
Eiji: And we can't say that it's because Shun associated her with something bad and tried to forget what she looked like, he remembers what her new boyfriend looked like perfectly fine.
Eiji: Also, Shun is actually not as loyal as he claims to be, because.. well..
Eiji: Because of Kei. And because of what he said during his interrogation. Just how did he make multiple women fall in love with him?..
Miki: How did Ishizu-san react to his verdict?
Eiji: He looked relieved and thanked me, he said he was happy to hear that we realized that his intentions were pure and that he really is innocent.
Eiji: .. His smile looked creepy though. Also, something about his reaction bothers me.
Eiji: .. Why didn't he say anything about his ex? What about him "doing it for the sake of love"?
Miki: Maybe he was just so happy to hear the news that he.. forgot about her?
Eiji: Considering how "forgetful" he is.. yeah, most likely.
Eiji: The one who sees herself as guilty, but still ends up being forgiven by everyone.
Eiji: Prisoner 004, Chiba Naomi.
Eiji: .. We really voted her innocent, even though she herself has confessed that her victim was a child.
Miki: W-well, what if she lied to make herself look more guilty-
Eiji: I don't think it was a lie. Her whole video was school-themed and it ends with her seeing an empty desk and crying.
Eiji: .. I think it's obvious that her victim was one of her students.
Miki: But maybe she felt sorry for them? Maybe she didn't want to kill them, maybe it was an accident-
Eiji: Did you listen to the lyrics? In one part, she repeatedly says that she hates someone so much she'd be okay with killing them.
Eiji: .. I'm pretty sure she's talking about her victim.
Eiji: It's so obvious, I'd say that her crime is the most boring one here.
Miki: But imagine if we voted her guilty.. we would basically give her what she wanted, don't you think?
Eiji: What do you mean?
Miki: Voting her innocent can be counted as a punishment too.
Miki: I really didn't want to vote Chiba-san guilty, because she's such a nice person, but the thought of her killing a child still scares me.
Miki: .. I just want to see what she will do now that she knows about her verdict.
Miki: I hope to see her change, in a good way, of course.
Eiji: Speaking of that. She was shocked to hear about her verdict and she said that we "really are just like them".
Miki: Does she mean the people who forgave her for her crime before she came to Milgram?
Eiji: I think so.
Eiji: But I swear I heard her laugh quietly when I walked away.
Eiji: The man who committed so many horrible crimes, but still smiles and laughs more than any prisoner here.
Eiji: Prisoner 005, Sanada Kei.
Eiji: ... *laughs*
Miki: Eiji-san, is everything okay?..
Eiji: *still laughs* I-I'm okay, i-it's just..
Eiji: We.. we did it. We voted him guilty.
Eiji: He deserved it. He deserves to be punished, he deserves to die for his sins..
Eiji: I'm just.. so happy..
Miki: ".. Kei-san is very pretty though. His beauty will definitely be ruined after Eiji-san punishes him."
Miki: "Wait, what am I thinking??"
Miki: We still don't know anything about his crime though. Isn't it a bit unfair to vote him guilty only because of his past?
Eiji: .. But you've agreed to vote him guilty though. By the way, why did you even do it?
Miki: .. I did it for you, Eiji-san.
Miki: I knew that I wouldn't be able to change your mind because you hate Kei-san so much, so..
Miki: Even if I did vote him innocent, we would get a 50/50 result. What would we even do after that?
Eiji: .. You did it for me?
Miki: *nods*
Eiji: .. Haha, you still have a lot to learn. That's a weird reason to vote someone guilty.
Eiji: Do you have anything to say about his video?
Miki: It was very confusing. Maybe even more confusing than Ishizu-san's video.
Eiji: You're right. We don't have any information about his victim too.. or victims.
Eiji: Did he kill his friends? Did he kill the person he had kidnapped? I don't know.
Eiji: How many victims did he even have?
Miki: .. Eiji-san, do you remember the "hint" Kei-san gave us?
Eiji: What are you talking about?
Miki: "Five".
Eiji: .. Huh.
Eiji: We'll have to come back to that later.
Miki: Does Kei-san know about his verdict?
Eiji: He does. When I told him everything, he laughed and said that "I'm not better than him even though I want to believe I am".
Eiji: .. I hate him so much.
Eiji: But later I saw him talking to Shun and Eiko and he looked a lot more nervous than before. His hair was more messy than usual and he kept biting his nails and looking around. I heard him say that he misses someone a lot.
Eiji: Well, I couldn't care less.
Eiji: Be careful when you lie to her, because after that you may end up lying in your own grave.
Eiji: Prisoner 006, Yoshioka Eiko.
Eiji: .. Listen, I had my reasons.
Miki: I just think Yoshioka-san isn't that bad? Her video has scared me a lot, but I still think we have to learn more about her crime before we judge her.
Eiji: Y-yeah, I agree.
Eiji: But she killed someone just because they weren't good enough for her..
Miki: Not just good enough, but "perfect".
Miki: But maybe she was actually the victim and it really is that man's fault for manipulating her?
Eiji: .. M-maybe.
Miki: Eiji-san, you don't look happy with this verdict.
Miki: By the way, why did you even agree with me? Why did you vote someone like Yoshioka-san innocent?
Eiji: Well, I didn't want her to think that I voted her guilty just because I wanted to "have more power over her"..
Miki: Ah, so you remember what she said that last time.
Miki: I guess now she will think you voted her innocent only because of her looks-
Eiji: NO, I DID NOT!
Miki: You agreed to vote her innocent so quickly though-
Eiji: Again, I had my reasons!
Miki: S-sorry..
Miki: What did Yoshioka-san say about her verdict?
Eiji: She looked completely uninterested at first, but then she smiled and..
Eiji: She said "Wow, so you really did fall in love with me, huh?"..
Eiji: Maybe I should have voted her guilty, this woman is annoying as hell.
Eiji: Someone who's too young to be in a place like this, but not too young to kill his own adoptive mother.
Eiji: Prisoner 007, Yano Asahi.
Eiji: .. I still think we should have voted this kid guilty. He's obviously just a spoiled brat who doesn't know his place.
Miki: ...
Eiji: .. I'm sorry. I forgot that you two are most likely related.
Eiji: But you have to agree that this kid is-
Miki: His personality isn't the best, but if he really is my brother.. then I understand why he turned out this way.
Miki: May I ask why you voted him innocent, Eiji-san?
Eiji: .. I want to learn more about his crime, that's all.
Miki: This might be a weird question, but did you vote him innocent for me, just like I voted Kei-san guilty for you?
Eiji: Guard 002, you and me are completely different. I would never do that.
Miki: .. *smiles* I see. Thank you.
Eiji: Why are you thanking me.. Anyway, I don't get what he meant by his mother's "weaknesses".
Eiji: How did he even manage to kill an adult woman?
Eiji: The video makes it look like she died while they were eating something, so maybe he poisoned her, but how would someone as young as him do that?
Miki: I don't know. I have no idea where he could find information about poisons and all that..
Miki: .. Wait a second.
Miki: Weaknesses.. him killing someone while they were eating..
Miki: .. I think I know what we should ask him next time.
Miki: How did he react to being voted innocent?
Eiji: Ugh.. He said something like "Of course, I would be voted innocent, I'm literally a child!"
Eiji: But I think he actually was scared of getting a guilty verdict, because he looked kind of relieved.
Eiji: She claims it was self-defense, but her murder is not as simple as it seems.
Eiji: Prisoner 008, Maruyama Yurika.
Eiji: Guilty, huh? Still can't believe you've actually agreed to let me punish her.
Miki: .. I just think that her video is too scary. And I still don't understand how her crime went.
Eiji: Same. Her video is one of the weirdest ones.
Eiji: Her video has very bright colors in the beginning and it looks like everything is alright, she doesn't look stressed or anxious at all.
Eiji: But then everything suddenly changes and it looks like she's being followed and attacked by her stalkers.
Eiji: .. But if she just wanted to protect herself, why do we see her torturing them? And I swear I could hear her talking to someone while she did it.
Eiji: And I also don't get the last part of her video.
Miki: .. M-maybe she also had an accomplice?
Miki: And I think we can say that if that's the case, they really were in a relationship because of that last part. Or Maruyama-san had feelings for them.
Eiji: But who would "team up" with her? Didn't she say that she had no one to rely on-
Eiji: ...
Eiji: Oh.
Eiji: I think I know who she could ask for help.
Miki: I wonder how Maruyama-san has reacted to being voted guilty.
Eiji: .. She didn't take it well.
Eiji: She tried to attack me actually.
Miki: !
Miki: Eiji-san, are you okay? I didn't know, please tell me if you're hurt-
Eiji: I'm fine, the prisoners can't do anything to us, remember?
Eiji: But the fact that she was okay with doing that shows that this woman is more dangerous than we thought.
Eiji: Even though he's a murderer, he claims that he was the real victim.
Eiji: Prisoner 009, Kuroki Riku.
Eiji: .. You felt sorry for him, didn't you?
Miki: I did. He literally cut himself to make us forgive him. Even if that was him trying to manipulate us, it shows that his mental state is not good.
Miki: I'm afraid he would hurt himself even more if we voted him guilty.
Eiji: You're too kind to be a prison guard.
Miki: "And also I just had to forgive a pretty boy who likes me back."
Miki: "Even though he lied to me.."
Eiji: His video shows him being a victim, but that last part..
Eiji: I get chills every time I see it.
Eiji: Just what could it possibly mean?..
Miki: .. Remember what he said about that boy's death? "It was his fault. It was so selfish of him to do something like that.."
Miki: .. I think we both know what happened.
Eiji: !..
Eiji: If that's the case.. we should have never voted him innocent.
Miki: Why did you agree to forgive him though?
Eiji: I didn't want him to do something bad to himself before I punish him. I didn't want him to ruin my fun.
Eiji: When I told him that he's been forgiven, he looked more happy than ever before. He said that he will make sure to pay you back for saving him.
Miki: P-pay me back?..
Miki: Hehe..
Eiji: .. You look too excited. Calm down.
Eiji: And finally..
Eiji: The self-proclaimed "most scary and dangerous criminal in this whole prison".
Eiji: Prisoner 010, Himura Reina.
Eiji: We both agreed to vote her innocent almost immediately after her interrogation.
Eiji: I still can't forgive her for her sins, but from what we've seen in her video, it's obvious that she wasn't a serial killer.
Eiji: She did rob people, she beat them up, she did all that stuff, but we haven't seen her actually killing someone.
Eiji: She wants to be voted guilty so badly, even I find it weird.
Miki: Until we learn more information, she's innocent to me.
Eiji: And I just voted her innocent because I wanted her to keep living while knowing that she will never be able to run away from her own sins.
Eiji: When I told her everything, she couldn't believe it. She thought it was a joke, just like Akio, but then she laughed and said that "everything is going according to one of her many evil plans".
Eiji: But when I started to walk away, I could hear her punching a wall and just asking "Why?" many, many times.
Eiji: .. That's all for today.
Eiji: That was something. This trial was full of surprises.
Eiji: But still.. I wish I could punish more prisoners.
Eiji: All of them deserve to die. Every single one of them. All of them deserve to suffer for what they have done.
Eiji: So.. Why do we have only three guilty prisoners?
Eiji: It's almost like.. I was in the wrong or something..
Eiji: Hey, Guard 002, they're criminals, right? So they deserve to be punished for their crimes, right?
Eiji: .. Guard 002? Miki?
Miki: .. Hehe..
Miki: I've saved them. I've saved so many of them.
Miki: Seven out of ten prisoners have been voted innocent.
Miki: They know that. They know that they're now safe.
Miki: And that means..
Miki: They owe me, right? They have no other choice but to depend on me and hope that I will save them again.
Miki: And the guilty prisoners will beg me to forgive them now..
Miki: .. *laughs*
Miki: Eiji-san, don't you think the second trial will be even more fun than this one?
═════════•°• ⚠ •°•═════════
The first trial is over. Thank you for participating!
