#and like an ALBUM too not just picking my fav songs and adding them to playlists *but that too

[lowkeyrobin]

EVIL DEAD RISE ; what kind of music you listen to with them

includes ; danny, bridget, kassie (platonic), ellie & beth

warnings ; language, my kinda bad music taste tbh

masterlist

DANNY

either stuff like sneaker pimps, gorillaz, and lil peep or quannnic, the cure, nirvana, paramore

he plays whatever makes you happy, especially if it's something he also likes

probably listens to music to sleep as well

like, hozier, phoebe bridgers, probably movie scores that are calm and kinda relaxing as well

sometimes you guys sit in silence with the music and relish each others company or you're having a dance party in front of hundreds cheering his dj skills on

religiously wears headphones, doesn't matter if they're wireless or not

he's very anti-earbuds bc they don't fit his ears properly LMAOOO

honestly same....

but he's scared it'll make him get hearing loss sooner bc they don't let the sound out a bit so he sticks w his muffs

keeps him warm in the winter 🤷‍♂️/🤷‍♀️

BRIDGET

mazzy star, florence + the machine, hozier, blue foundation, seal, james marriott

I feel like she's into calmer kinda music, but not like basic calm music if that makes sense??

I don't think she's an arctic monkeys/tv girl indie/pop/idk fan iykwim

she likes just being in your presence when she listens to music cause she wants to have those songs remind her of you somehow

like if you're on the bus, in the car, she's the type to usually have her earbuds in, probably does the spotify party thing with you LMAO

that way you don't have to share earbuds or anything

danny constantly teases you guys bc your music taste differs but you're totally swooning for her so you always listen to her music lol

KASSIE

taylor swift idk

what do little kids listen to these days??? 💀💀💀

cmon she's like 10 at max gimme a break

she honestly just picks whatever she likes on your playlists if she needs something to entertain her in the car and whatnot

I mean I'm like that too sometimes I just can't stare out the window in silence I need my music lmao

she probably just has default pop radio music taste, she's too young for a phone anyways lmao

gets any actual music taste from her siblings and you though

ELLIE

probably listens to the pretty reckless and halestorm here and there, prefers more pop music though

probably like muni long, normani, hozier, taylor swift, only the plastic hearts album by miley cyrus, etc

mostly a female artist listener

I just get that vibe from her

her and Beth for sure went to a lot of female lead rock bands before her kids + Jay in general

like evanescence, halestorm, pretty reckless, in this moment, flyleaf

she'd still enjoy listening to rock though, just gotta be in a pumped up mood, like doing chores or working out yk

would enjoy dorothy, lacuna coil, etc

she strikes me as a person who plays music in the house/car but never wirh headphones or anything bc she likes to get shit done and when she's sitting down, she's just trying to relax and music gets her kinda pumped up lmao

loves when u show her new songs tho, she loves adding them to her mixes or whatever

she strikes me as a pandora mom

BETH

she for sure listens to spiritbox, megan thee stallion (she's a nicki anti I know it, me too), halestorm, pretty reckless, new years day, in this moment, september mourning, eminem, rihanna

a lot of like 2000s-2010s legends lol

I feel like she listens to Megan a lot to pump herself up bc real tbh

cobra ft spiritbox is her all time fav song

holy shit she rants about this song to members of her team for a week straight

gets like 300 plays on it by the time spotify wrapped comes out

she strikes me as a yt music user HELP

she loves introducing you to new rock bands, especially ones w female leads

[agustdiv1ne]

here are my thoughts about each song that absolutely nobody asked for but i don't care 🤣

ok GROWING PAINS??? THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN I'M FALLING TO MY KNEES I'M WAILING BC THIS SONG IS EVERYTHING TO ME. i loveee rock music and this is also reminds me a little of what i used to listen to when i was in the deepest trenches of my middle school emo phase (and continue to listen to bc my emo phase never truly left me),, THE GROWL. BEOMGYU FUCKING GROWLED. ME WHEN. ME WHEN. ME WHEN. *INSERT WEREWOLF MEME* i am just. obsessed. absolutely Obsessed. ALSO YEONJUN'S HIGH NOTE????? ACTUALLY FUCK OFF I'M ON THE FLOOR

chasing that feeling is very 80s new wave and it is Everything to me. i could go over everything in the mv but i'm j gonna focus on the song for now. i love the route they took for the tt, it's very like. dreamy? to me?? and laid back and yet it sounds like it would be part of some action movie????? like hero training scene montage and BOOM CHASING THAT FEEEEELINGGG in the background idk...the synths are making me ascend i swear to whatever is above whoever added those synths in the instrumental deserves the best fucking head of their lives. beomgyu opening fairy, bro always makes sure to EAT THAT OPENING BROOO I LOVE HIM. AND THEN TYUN HIGH NOTE WOOOOOOOOO that Healed me...and hyuka's "come and kiss me" YEAH. YEAHHHH. can u tell i'm obsessed w this tt yet???? i need it tattooed onto my ear drums right now

DREAMER MF DREAMERRRR BROOOOOOOOOO i've been waiting for an rnb song like this from them since 20cm i fucking swear. and this just. BLEW ME OUT OF THE WATER,, their falsettos are so mf pretty esp soobin's like his voice was just made for this song bro. i swear. and then we got beomgyu's falsetto too?????? wow. wowowowow. i need more rn. AND THEN YEONJUN BROO CAME IN W THE "LET ME BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU" AND I'M DYING. LIKE ACTUALLY DYING PLS DO NOT RESUSCITATE

ahahaha deep down is like. so chill and i loveee the beat omfg. like this is a song that i am going to play when i go on late night car rides, bass boosted n everything bc the beat. the BEAT. i need it injected into my veins immediately,, def not like. my fav off this album but i still enjoyed it ^^

ok happily ever after has me in a chokehold rn. i'm being so serious. it's so fun and catchy it's like a little earworm that i can't get out of my head!!!! it makes me wanna dance and sing and AHHHHH. the beginning "oh ma gawd" that was so cute...def my pick me up song bc it's so cute n fun n i definitely didn't expect to like it as much as i do <3 the power of txt <3333 LIFE IS NOT A FAIRYTALE!!!! also soobin's falsetto got me again i'm ascending yet again my friends...i feel like this song is encapsulated by the ✨️ emoji pls don't ask me to elaborate.

SKIPPING STONES. MY ABSOLUTE FAV OFF THIS ALBUM. THERE IS NO COMPETITION I FEAR.....it's very reminiscent of music i'd listen to while growing up esp the songs my dad would share with me...idk why but that connection just makes this song so much more special to me. also sounds kinda like a day6 song and as someone who loves day6 i needed this!! i love the rock influences so fucking much guys i am so obsessed with this song,,,, i need more songs like this immediately. asap. ALSO hyuka's high note. guys. guys. what the fuck. he is such a talented man i cannot rn

as if i could forget about blue spring — when i told u i started crying??? yeah, i started crying right when it started playing. i love them so fucking much u don't understand 😭😭😭 idk why they autotuned my men like that towards the end tho,, but yeah. this will be my official crying song for the foreseeable future 😁

and then. chasing that feeling english version??? hello????? i typically don't enjoy english versions too much but this one is so good omg. i def like the og more but i did enjoy it and it was a nice lil surprise!!!!

i could keep writing more but i will leave it at that. i'm sorry if u read this far u deserve financial compensation for being so strong

#me when i write an essay abt the album #my god #this album is right up my alley #i wish i had melatonin bc i don't think i can sleep now #the adrenaline rush is still going #txt did it again everyone #ashlee's bs

[lil-melody-moon]

off of that album, it was very hard to pick favorites, but overture and acid queen are prob my top picks, i love songs with vocals but instruments always go so hard too! i feel like i listen to instrumental songs so much, they always help me focus more :) do you have any favorite instrumentals? my favs, in no particular order would have to be anybody there by rainbow, yyz by rush, forbidden city by marty friedman, eruption by van halen, or son of alerik by deep purple, but also think i'll be adding the overture from tommy by the who to my list as well!

-pickle

Good instrumentals are beating everything really! Oh yes, I do have a long list of favorite instrumentals, both from bands and video games, so without further ado!

First bands - one for each: - Bonzo's Montreux by Led Zeppelin - I know, I know, it's a drum solo, but it's an instrumental so I'm throwing it here! - Flying by The Beatles - probably the only one they have on their studio albums, but I could forget about something. Either way, I love it, mainly for its atmosphere - Rockestra Theme by Wings - BONZO ON DRUMS! ENOUGH SAID! - The Mule by Deep Purple - IAN'S DRUM SOLO, ENOUGH SAID! - Cobwebs and Strange by The Who - as much as I love "Overture", "Quadrophenia", "The Rock", "The Ox", this is a fucking goat and I will defend this crazy piece of chaotic music with MY LIFE

And now to games - three for each, focusing on personal favorites: Earthboud: - Smiles and Tears - end credit theme. You know, you are at the end of a childhood adventure and you hear this while photos that were taken throughout the game by a photographer who tells you to say "Fuzzy Pickles!" each time roll on the screen... It just brings tears every time to my eyes - Because I Love You - the theme that plays when everything's over and you're walking back home. I'm a sentimental piece of shit, I love this tune so much! - Boy Meets Girl - I had troubles with choosing between this and two other town themes, but this one just sounds nostalgic to me. Maybe because while watching a let's play from it when I was tiny and when replaying the game each year I tend to stand and do nothing, listening to the theme. I just love it <3

Rayman 3: - The Fairy Council - Under The Starlight - again, a very nostalgic tune. It just sounds freaking magical <3 - The Land of the Livid Dead - otherworldly sound for a world with spirits in them. They don't make such music in games anymore *sobs* - The Summit Beyond the Clouds - snowy land with Christmas like music. Don't get fooled tho, those levels are harsh XD

Rayman 1: - First Steps - funky music very catchy, absolute favorite of the entire game! - The Stalactites' Teardrops - cave music, but WHAT a cave music! - Venomous Mr Skops - and let's give some final boss' of the world music going! The boss is shit, the stage after him is even worse, this whole game is unfair, BUT this boss theme kicks ass - DRUMS DRUMS DRUMS

Silent Hill 2: - Promise - this instrumental, this fucking guitar, THIS FUCKING EVERYTHING IN THIS ONE, BUT MOSTLY THE GUITAR. I shit you not, I had this tune on my phone ring for two years, only changed it because I felt like it, but I love it - this started the theme that my phone ring has to have an instrumental with a guitar in it - Theme of Laura - opening music theme, I get shivers by hearing it. I'm all about drums but the guitar in this one and the guitar in general, so dark, I fucking love it! - Terror in The Depths of The Fog - an unusual track, but the beat somehow gets into your eardrums, drilling slowly, not to mention the noise that gets louder later on, soundtrack to this entire fucking game is a motherfucking masterpiece, go listen to it

Ib: - Old Puppet - first instrumental in any game that made me uneasy and I was what? 12 years old maybe? Or a bit older - Memory - only musicbox, but what a good musicbox joined by other sounds later on - Dining Room - the piano in this one, GOSH. It's somehow calm at first and then it gets creepy. Just <3

Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards: - Miracle Matter Battle Theme - kicking off with a boss theme, the best one in the game for me. Quick, intense, what only Kirby music has to offer! - Inside The Ruins - I love weird music and this is the peak of it - Pop Star Theme - the "ding dong" gets me every time, I love this chaos

Kirby's Return to Dream Land: - Welcome Your New Overlord - final boss music again, because it slays. Quick, chaotic, intense the general peak of this game soundtrack - AND THE TEMPO CHANGES!!! - Otherworldly Warrior - heavy metal in Kirby? You bet your ass it is there and it's as fast paced as you could imagine. Only once did I get to fight with Galacta Knight and it was worth it. Difficult but worth it, for this tune only! - Techno Factory - plays at one of my favorite stages in Egg Engines, what could I want more?

Ace Attorney series: - Detention Center ~ Prisoner's Elegy - probably the most depressing tune in the entire series - counting in the first four games I've played only - is my favorite. The piano is a killer, I can't help it - Victory! ~ The First Victory - I was mad about this one when I heard it for the first time. It still has a special place in my heart <3 - Damon Gant ~ Swimming, Anyone? - *throws his theme here, because I love this asshole way too much* also it sounds so badass!

Undertale: - Waterfall - best tune in the entire game. Plays in a cave of some sort, with history of the world and memories seem to flow around, like soft petals of the blue flowers you can find there. Water giving that otherworldly feeling <3 - Spider Dance - old, retro, Toby Fox at his best, nothing will convince me otherwise - Respite - did you notice that I like a sad sounding piano? Not yet? Then check this one out

Deltarune: - Field of Hopes and Dreams - first one that caught my attention in this game, it has a special place in my heart as well - A Town Called Hometown - it's incredible how you can put the feeling of longing and family atmosphere into music, eh? - Spamton - this one is better than "Big Shot" somehow for me. Probably because of the sus atmosphere in it

Deponia series: - How About a Bit More Enthusiasm - for such a cheerful game this one is very depressing, but also beautiful in a way <3 - Life Goes On - a bit of hope in this one, but it hits more harder when you know the story, especially that when you first play the third game in the series you somehow start to feel like there's not gonna be a happy end. The tune somehow spoils it, very subtly - Dark and Dirty Fairy Tales - like from a fairy tale, right? Playing in the sewers actually

Homestuck - honorable mention with only one track, because I still need to finish reading it to judge properly, but this: - Descend - is a fucking masterpiece

#I also skipped on the entire final fantasy because picking three tracks of each game? #that is impossible #still if you're curious I recommend soundtracks of #final fantasy II. VI. VII. IX and X #those are the ones I'm familiar with #and I recommend them with all my heart <3 #srs23

[angelllcakes]

ahhh yuri is such a sweetheart, I am a wizone so hearing that makes me so happy 🥰 now I know this question might be hard to answer, so make the response how ever long you need it to be, but I gotta know your fave SVT + kpop in general songs!! Im so curious!!

an ode: holy crap this album is just so captivating i couldn’t pick a fav if i tried. hit, fear, second life, lucky, snap shoot, and happy ending are what i listen to most from this album but network love will always have the biggest place for itself in my heart. i’ve even choreographed to it because i just think it was constructed magnificently!

you made my dawn: is just a masterpiece, can’t put it any other way. good to me is definitely my favorite off this album. it’s the kinda song you play in front of your mirror and pretend youre badass… which i may or may not do from time to time:3 home is the most memorable all time favorite, and hug makes me sob, simple.

hi again tumblr user @blackveilblasphemy :)))

I sent u an anon a while ago but once again I feel compelled to tell u I just love seeing u on my dash bc we’ve been mutuals for a while and it’s nice to see your face

so quick question for u!!! If I wanted to check out Black Veil Brides or Andy Biersack music, where’s a good place to start?? do you have a favorite album or maybe top 5 or 10 songs to recommend? I’m not familiar with them at all but I see how passionate u are about them so I want to check them out!!!

have a great day and xoxo!!

hi anon <3

i love having mutuals, i have to wonder which one you are! personally i also like to send messages anonymously because i'm shy. it's one of my favorite features of tumblr. then i can tell people i love them and they won't know it's me. of course, it's harder to make friends this way ...hmmph.

*i ended up writing a lot (as per usual) so i added a read more!*

*

i'm honored you decided to follow me even though you don't listen to bvb! while i love their music, i started running this blog as a place to collect and share photos. blogging is kinda therapeutic and calming to me.

*

i don't know what the theme of your blog is (if you have a theme), but if i follow you, i probably reblog onto one of my side blogs! over the years, I have gained a lot of other interests, and the number of side blogs for this account has been increasing. i also follow a lot of blogs! i think it's close to the max amount, because sometimes i have to go on an unfollowing spree and unfollow the inactive accounts in order to follow more blogs.

*

if you're looking to start listening to bvb, i think you could check out a song or two from every album, and see for yourself which album you might want like. i think every bvb album has a distinct sound, and each has fans who says that album is their favorite.

*

i'll often just listen to bvb's whole discography all the way through because the songs often flow into one another, so i like to listen to them in order. they tell a story! this is especially true with the wretched and divine album. however the songs or albums are also good individually, so you can listen to them on their own too.

*

if i had to pick my favorite albums, in order i would say:

1 we stitch these wounds

2 wretched and divine

3 set the world on fire

4 vale

5 phantom tomorrow

6 black veil brides

*

I think these are the most popular bvb songs:

in the end

knives and pens

fallen angels

*

my favorite songs from we stitch these wounds:

perfect weapon

sweet blasphemy

carolyn

*

my favorite songs from the set the world on fire album:

set the world on fire

rebel love song

saviour

the legacy

*

my favorite songs from the wretched and divine album:

wretched and divine

nobody's hero

devil's choir

*

my favorite songs from the black veil brides (self titled) album:

drag me to the grave

world of sacrifice

crown of thorns

*

my favorite songs from the vale album:

vale (this is where it ends)

dead man walking (overture ii)

wake up

*

my favorite songs from the phantom tomorrow album:

blackbird

fall eternal

fields of bone

*

songs from eps i would also recommend:

from the never give in ep:

we stitch these wounds (original version)

the gunsling

*

from the rebels ep:

rebel yell (billy idol cover)

coffin

*

andy black music:

my favs from the shadow side album:

ribcage

paint it black

the void

*

#ask #bvb #long post #recently the song i've been listening to the most is vale (this is where it ends) because i like being sad #when i first started listening to bvb i listened to carolyn and saviour the most #those two songs from the never give in ep (wtsw and the gunsling) are probably in my top favs but theyre not even on an album #i haven't really listened to the mourning ep album enough to really have a fav from it #other bvb fans feel free to chime in with your favorites ! #my mom's fav bvb songs are never give in and lost it all #and my sister's like mortician's daughter and fallen angels #sorry i didn't do a very good job helping you narrow down which song to listen to first #i usually point people toward knives and pens or in the end because theyre the most popular ones #i like those songs but wouldn't say they're my favorite #i think scarlet cross and torch off the new album (phantom tomorrow) are popular #but the slower songs (blackbird and fall eternal) ended up being my fav ones #i love almost all their songs so it's so hard for me to single out favorites #like from the wretched and divine album how can i pick between them when they're all good?? #i had such a hard time not also linking resurrect the sun - shadows die - new year's day - overture

[thekidsarentalright]

holy shit bestie i was listening to guts and realized i never sent u my top 5 from it… and then realized all of these songs are growing on me so much i switched my ranking around a few times 😭 anyway this is what it is rn

1.) get him back! (idk what it is abt this song but i could Not stop smiling and laughing the first time i listened to it!! makes me wanna drive at v fast speeds and like. egg someone’s house or something lmao... also love when u can hear her just like. goofing around in the studio, so i love all the little ad libs in there)

2.) all-american bitch (literally just sat there with my jaw dropped the first time i listened to it, those screams are everything!!)

3.) love is embarrassing (bc it feels and sounds like a rlly funny sequel to good 4 u… also the little vocal jumps she does at the end kinda remind me of the regrettes if u ever listened to them <3)

4.) ballad of a homeschooled girl (was not homeschooled but i overthink every single social interaction ever so. i relate 😅)

5.) logical (grew on me so much, holy shit that bridge is insane)

honestly had trouble even ranking the whole thing, i genuinely think it’s no skips. my faves are definitely the more upbeat songs bc my fave from sour was brutal, but all the ballads grew on me too! teenage dream is So good and made me cry a ton, ur so so valid for liking it so much <3

- 🧋 anon

bestie i am So sorry it took me so long to answer this augh ive been so scatterbrained recently 😭 BUTTT omg so excited to get this lil ranking, i so relate to switching it around a bunch ever since the album came out each song has grown on me sm it’s switching constantly

but ough you’re So real for this top 5!!! all-american bitch is def one of my top favs too and tbh has been since my first listen it is just. so crazy good. it and get him back And ballad of a homeschooled girl are like Addictive to listen to!!! and i so love the balance in the album of those more fast paced like. addictive songs and the slower/gentler(?) ones like logical which. such a good pick i feel like it’s so underrated omg

and yeah fr this album is absolutely no skips like. even the songs i connect to or like less (which for me i Also prefer the more upbeat ones!!! brutal is one of my favs from sour too we 🤝) are still just Such good music. girlie knows how to write a ballad fr she is just so so talented man

#also glad im not the only one who cried at teenage dream a ton like 😭 that song is just heartachingly real. ough #thank u for sharing this w me though fr i love seeing ppls thoughts and rankings on this stuff its so interesting to compare!!! #asks #🧋anon

Hey, so here’s my lil’ mini review of Onew's first full album Circle after listening to the whole thing twice:

O (Circle): This was really good! Heard it first while watching the MV and at first didn't know how to feel about it at the very start but then the beat kicked in, and reading the lyrics as he sang so heavenly--this felt just so nice. Like not overly hype but not too mellow--was just right. Oh, and I looooved when the choir vocals came in and sang with him during the chorus--added a nice anthem like feel to this. And by the end, I actually had tears in my eyes lol like it's such a nice song--I didn't want it to end. Like the choir singing out with him towards the end like that--you feel that shit bruh--like goosebumps popped up from that.

Cough: Song was okay to me, like the beat felt a bit generic while the melody felt familiar in a way. The last chorus though, I got used to it and was vibing a bit ngl. It's not a bad song by any means though, like I wouldn't skip it if it came on but after O--I almost wish it came after another song on the album.

Rain On Me: His heavenly voice in this one!! Don't like the beat as much for this though during the verses, felt like I should be marching forward and not in a fun, hype way lol. So overall, this one's another okay song imo, like so far O is my fave. Though this is also another song where it really picked up during the last chorus and I wish more of the song was like that.

Caramel: Ooh this beat almost feels off but I like it. And I like how it's upbeat too lol. Just a nice fun, jazzy pop song and though the rap was okay--it didn't deter from the cuteness <3. Love how he sings 'sweet like caramel', and how he scats like a trumpet towards the end and the piano and him riffing with the same melody. This is this album's Sunshine and I love it~

Anywhere: Oh this is a fucking vibe~ Kinda song ya wanna blast from your speakers while travelling somewhere. I think it's the 80's retro-ness in the beat that contributes to it. This song sits at the same table as Key's retro album trilogy <3. And I already see myself singing the 'I'm not going anywhere' part A LOT lol.

Paradise: A perfect song to follow after Anywhere! Another fucking vibe~! Like love the beat especially in this one! And love when he flexes his vocals bruh~

Expectations: So glad this album isn't full of ballads, like yesss give me some beats. I liked this one a lot and how the end of the pre-chorus defied my expectations--like this song goes places I wouldn't expect it to while still making sense.

No Parachute: Oh this song is sexy bruh~ Def could imagine Jonghyunnie on this one <3. Love how he sings 'Parachute' with the tone going higher at the end--it just adds a little extra flavor.

Walk With You: Ofc there has to be a cute song towards the end hehe. Song was okay, like compared to the others at least.

Always: And so the album's come full circle lol, started hopeful/melancholic, with fun, happy times in between and now it's the end. I'm not always a ballad kinda gal but his voice always lends so well to them so I can't even be mad lol.

And so my favs from this album in order are: Paradise, Anywhere, Caramel, O (Circle), No Parachute, Expectations, Rain On Me, Always, Cough.

TL;DR: Though I like/love 7 outta 10 songs, I'd say this is definitely a must listen album! Def his best one so far just 'cause the quantity of beautiful songs has increased (his last mini was great too though ofc). You'll be vibing with the beats and his beautiful voice, feeling chill, happy, nostalgic etc~

i’ve realized i forgot to reply when you asked for movie recommendations so here are some of my favourites! love rosie, pride & prejudice (2005), love actually, romeo and juliet (the leo one), andddd 10 things i hate about you!

question of the day: what would you say are your top 3 favourite albums of all time and which is your favourite song from each of those?

gross fun fact: horned lizards can shoot blood from their eyes up to 3 feet!

-holiday anon🤍

Hi, I’m so sorry for answering this a day late!

What holiday traditions do you have, if you don’t mind me asking? I hope you’re doing well and that you’re surviving day two of Louis filled content, my heart and barely take it!

He absolutely needs to sing holding onto heartache, it’s a masterpiece!

Now, don’t hate me, but I’ve never seen Pride and Prejudice, Love Actually or 10 things I hate about you so it looks like I’ll be adding those to my watch list!! I’ve always meant to but just never got around to it! However, the Leo Romeo and Juliet is everything

I think it’s impossible for me to pick a top three of all time!!! There’s so much music in life and I consume so much of it!! I’ll try, I suppose but I know as soon as I write my choices I’ll want to change them cause there’s just so much music out there!! Let’s go self titled (bonus track edition) by Hozier, and I literally can’t do more cause I’m picking like ten albums but Hozier’s self titled (bonus track edition) will always be in the top three! Oh and fav song is probably Run or In a Week or Sedated. Those other two albums? I’ve got no clue, they’re constantly rotating! I thought about putting Wild World (complete edition) by Bastille but I’m on the fence cause it’s a great album but for of all time? I’m not sure and I don’t listen to it too often anymore

That is a gross fun fact! Imagine being able to do that! How insane! I’ve seen videos of it and I hate it!!!

Wishing you happy rest of your day/night and that it treats you well! ❤️

[pearls-place]

ooh Bennie and the Jets is a favorite of mine too! Some other favorites would probably be I’m Still Standing (it’s what got me into Elton so it’s very special to me) and Curtains. My favorite albums are Too Low For Zero & Madman Across the Water. I do also really love Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and I have not yet listened to Caribou!

For George - I’m not sure if you’ve given a listen to his All Things Must Pass album, but if you haven’t, I would recommend to start there! It’s such a beautiful album and every song is so so good I’ve listened to it more times than I can probably count haha. But if you have listened, another recommendation would be Cloud 9. It’s my second favorite of his and again, all songs on it are so so good.

I’m listening to Rubber Soul as I’m writing this and so far I really enjoy Norwegian Wood & Nowhere Man. Do you have a favorite song off that album? I’d definitely understand if you can’t pick just one LOL. I’ll give Srg Peppers & Get Back a listen over the weekend. :)

I actually don’t play the violin, but I would love to learn since it’s my favorite instrument. I’m currently learning how to play piano and harmonica, so adding a violin to that list would be a bit of a learning overload rn lol. Do you play any instruments?

-🎻

Hello :D

Oooo yeah I’m Still Standing is a good one! I actually hadn’t listened to Curtains before, so I did and I like it! It reminds me kinda of Someone Saved My Life Tonight…but that might be because they’re both slower ballads. The electric guitar towards the middle was a cool touch, and the whole thing felt very heroic like a sunrise or flying or something idk haha. Both of those albums I think are really good too! I have Madman on vinyl, but not Too Low for Zero…do you collect records?

I’ve listened to a few songs from All Things Must Pass, but I haven’t listened to it all the way through so I’ll have to do that this weekend! I’ll also have to look into Cloud 9, because I’m not familiar with that at all. I’m excited to now hearing all of the goods things you say about them!

Oh nice! I like both of those a lot and I also would say Norwegian Wood is one of my favs along with Michelle! I’m excited to hear your thoughts on the others!

Yeah, violin is a really cool instrument and I can’t even imagine the work it takes to learn it! Piano and harmonica are cool to! How long have you been learning? I play the piano and I’ve been playing for around 8 years now! I love to play live, and I actually have a gig tonight (my second ever, last night was my first so I’m super excited to go back) I have a side blog where I post piano stuff if you’d like to check it out: @pearl-plays-piano

I hope you have a good day!

Pearl :D

2020.12.16 The World You Live In at Zepp Nagoya, 2nd event report

For this one I was sitting in the last row on the 2nd floor😂 but the view was good, especially when watching the live footage.

This time Takabayashi also joined, he sat on the left, and we again got Die and Toshiya, with Fujieda on the right who again acted as the MC.

F again started the talk with the topic of the show without audience and Ochita. He asked band members about the flow of working on the songs, which to choose, how they decided to go with a song like that for a single. D replied that they make many songs for albums, when they work on the singles they want them to connect somehow, and he thinks they were able to do that.

T: what he said.

(true mastery of short answers aka no answers😂)

Next F again brought the merch items, saying he was wearing Die's mask, he liked it black.

D: it's a mask you can wear easily.

F: (struggling) ne...si...cessity.

D: again.

F: necessity.

(just leave him alone😂)

D: some people might find girls wearing black masks scary, so I added a bright element (to make it easier to wear).

(...but one of them says HURT???😂)

D: Ta(kabayashi), can you say 'necessity'?

Ta: not gonna play this game.

Then they laughed a bit about 'ビッグピックキーホルダー・biggu pikku・big pick'

T: which colour is the rare one?

F: I think they're all same.

T: how can you use it?

F: attach it to your bag etc I guess? You should know as a producer!

T: I guess I will use it as my pick at our next show.

F also brought items produced by other members, handing Shinya's bottle to T.

F: S also posted video promoting it on his instagram. It's really tiny.

T: how many of those I can drink in one day? (?)

D: but it is a perfect size for a bag.

Then F handed the pouch produced by Kaoru to D.

D: I guess masks can fit in, pick keychains can fit in, bottle can fit in, anything can fit in. 😂

F: there are 5 different merch items,please get them all.

After this it was time for the questions submitted by fans again.

D: ok, got one, from Kumi-san...

F: Tommy-san?

D: what? Why would you bring the boss up? It's from Kumi-san from Kagawa. 'please tell us your memory from Kagawa'.

F: we went there on tour last September.

D: Takamatsu, right? I remember I was watching TV at the hotel, not going for dinner... ah no, I got a take out, chicken, a big one, I was eating it alone.

F: what about you, T?

T: hmmm, I guess udon?

F: you eat udon a lot.

T: I eat everything. It was good then.

F told a story about playing around when waiting for band members to get ready to leave (Kaoru), he imitated Shinya playing drums. He said it was very embarrassing so he remembers it very clearly. Did S upload a video of that on his Channel?

T: 'please tell us your good and bad points of Fujieda'. He can eat anything, everything tastes good for him? As for bad points, everything tasted good for him?

(everyone laughed)

D joked that instead of getting 'good point' (like a grade at school) he has more 'passable points'.

D: 'can you tell us about your outfits today? I noticed that Toshiya's socks are very cute!'

T got surprised people noticed something like that, his red socks. F said that most likely a fan who attended the 1st slot noticed and sent that question.

T: I received them, they are just red checkered socks.

Ta: 'what kind of bath salts do you use?'

D: recently I don't use any (then he joked about the smell of old guys at the gym?)

T: I don't really use it.

They teased F for playing with the foam in the bath.

Then D talked about some gel type bath Kaoru recommended him, at Fukuoka during the tour in the past (?)

Ta commented that when hot the water in Tokyo smells. Water in the countryside like Nagano is better quality.

F: 'what song did you listen to the most during pandemic? It can be an artist.'

D: Kimetsu one?

F: 'Kousui' is also played everywhere.

they also said they listen to dir songs. D said he listens to the setlists from the audiostreams and T and he joked a lot about not remembering some of the older songs, like 'we made this??'😂 they also talked about the flow of songs.

T: 'how did you decide the members for each venue?'

Ta: I thought about many factors before deciding.

F: basically Ta decided it.

Ta: I thought about who should go where, who to pair together, about who went to which event in the past.

D: I remember we had some event at a department store in Nagoya.

T: at Parco, there was a signing event at Tower Records. At the same time there was an event I liked? ...no one knows it? Sorry, I guess you're all too young, there's a generation gap here.

😂

T: 'do you have any plans for shows next year?'

They explained that the situation is not looking good and shows have big chance being postponed.

F: but we are thinking about the things we can do. But those two people definitely want to play a concert.

T: this many people are waiting so we have to.

D talked about getting out of Tokyo and ??

Ta: 'it suddenly got really cold. Could you tell us any stories about snow or cold weather?' (he added joking) Nagano stories?

T: you think you're funny.

F: but I love oyaki (it's famous in Nagano stuffed dumpling, grilled).

T: I saw a cockroach for the first time only when I went to Tokyo and then Kyoto. Nagano is too cold for them.

F: Hakkaido too.

(Toshiya, I really feel ya, I've only encountered roaches after I came to Japan💀)

they talked about fighting with them, D used something to immobilize them (???)

T: they are so big. When we filmed Clever Sleazoid video I just stepped on one.

F (laughing): went 'kyaaaa' and stepped on it!

T also talked about the old story when they just started a band and they came to Nagano to meet T, there was a lot of snow then and all band members got super excited because of it, starting to play in snow. T's mother took a photo of them, that photo is still at T's home at Nagano.

F: who was driving then?

T: Aki-san, from the previous company.

D: I didn't know it gets all snowy like that.

Then they talked about old simple phones without cameras and cameras they used, heavy bricks.

T: sorry, generation gap again.

F: what happened to the 'cold' topic? Why roaches???

Ta: we can do 2 more questions.

T: F, why did you ???

F told us a story about almost being in a traffic accident on a highway driving from Nagoya when suddenly their tyre got a hole, but thanks to his super special technique he could stop the car.

D: how long was this whole situation?

F: one minute. Thanks to my special technique.

they also talked about Shinya driving😂

Next, T: 'why did F use a name Rei with ShibireBajiru (band where F's played drums)? Question from Toshiya from Tokyo'

😂

But F's explanation was about the image names have and that Rei has a strong image. About which T and D teased him a lot.

As the last question they talked about alarm clocks, 'can you wake up without alarm clock?'

D: recently I can.

T: I can wake up when I can wake up.

F: ...so when you can't you can't?

T: ...(be quiet you)

D: so what time do you wake up?

T: 4 or 5, then I work.

D wakes up around 6~7

Extra question, F: 'what's your fav nabe (hot pot)?'

D: nabe?

F: for me it's motsunabe (offal hot pot). That place in Fukuoka.

T: you prefer miso type? Or soy sauce?

F: in the past Shinya gave me a very firm 'I don't need any of the miso one', he was so angry about food😂

F talked about the additional event online again and the announced video with virtual characters the previous day. Filming was done a bit earlier.

T: it was unexpectedly fun.

F: let's spend New Year Eve together.

Last comments.

Die: thanks for comming to the event, especially in such a cold weather. This was a safe way, the situation is not good, we can't hold shows at the moment, we want to make songs and work on the next album.

Toshiya: thank you for coming on a cold day. I'd like to say what I want, but it's hard because of this situation. The band is searching for the things we can do. Please wait for us. Next year, I want to stand on the stage in front of you (at a concert).

D asked T for the red version of the pick to take photo with it. He took it to his spot at kamite area, adding 'next year I will use it'.

(Die mobile members probably will get to enjoy that photo?)

Ateez saying something hurtful to their s/o (1/2)

❦ Masterlist.

Part 2

HONGJOONG

Hongjoong had many things to do this week. He was extremely stressed because he cannot compose a good song. For you, of course, all these songs were very good. You always told him that he’s doing well. But maybe a bit too much this time.

You didn’t saw your boyfriend for a whole week. He was busy, composing songs for the new album. Always trying so hard to do his best and impress Eden sunbaenim. As a good girlfriend, you didn’t bother him. Only sent few texts when you went to sleep or woke up. But it was Friday and you really wanted to see your boyfriend. So, after work, you went to KQ Entertainment.

In the hall there was Ateez members except your boyfriend.

“Oh Y/N!” Said Yunho when he saw you at the entrance. “Hi guys! What are you doing?” You asked when you saw them wearing their coat. “We want to try the new restaurant!” Shouted San. “Do you want to come?” You accepted. You were always having a good time with Ateez. “Where is Hongjoong?” You asked, still no sign of your boyfriend. “He’s in the studio. He won’t come with us. Too much work.” Said Seonghwa. You sighed. When this boy will take some time for him? “I’ll go talk to him; we will join you at the restaurant guys!” San & Wooyoung shouted a big “YES”. You smiled, happy to see them. It’s like a big family. “I’ll text you the address Y/N.” Said Yeosang. You thanked him & went to Hongjoong’s studio.

You knocked once. No answer. Maybe the music was too loud. You tried again. Still nothing. You opened the door slowly and saw your boyfriend with his earphones, mumming the lyrics. “Hongjoong.” You called him. He turned back to your figure in the doorframe. Dark bags under his eyes. You sighed. How many hours he slept? “Oh, hi Y/N.” He barely looks at you, focusing again on his computer screen. “The guys and I are going to the new restaurant… you need-…” “Okay have fun there.” “You need to come too. You are working too much.” “I don’t have time for fun, Y/N. I told you I would be busy the whole week.” Hongjoong turned back to you, giving you an annoying stare. “You can just take 2 hours of break; it won’t kill anyone.” As you walked toward him. “I really need to finish these songs. The album will be out the next month, everything needs to be ready.” You sighed, for the second times since you entered the studio. “Hongjoong let’s go eat. It will give you energy at least.” You slowly removed one of his earphones from his ear. “Y/N!” He shouted. “Why do you always need to be behind my back? I’m a grown man! So, go anywhere I’m not for once!” He said harshly. You stepped back, scared. You never saw this look in his eyes. Your eyes became watering, but you refused to cry for this and in front of him. He realized what he said. His mouth was trembling because of the confusion. He stood out from his chair and walked toward you. You blocked him with your hand, adding “Okay I won’t be behind your back again. Have fun composing.” You threw yourself out of this studio. Almost running at KQ’s hall. When your phone started to ring in your pocket. It was a message of Yeosang. “The restaurant is at 32nd Incheon Street!” Wiping a tear of your cheek, you replied “Thank you, but I won’t come. Have a nice meal.” You turned off your phone & walked to your house.

SEONGHWA

Seonghwa was always stressed when Ateez was in a comeback schedule. All the team was stressed but nobody knows why Seonghwa was having such a hard time.

Ateez are preparing for their new full album. It took them a whole month to get all their choreographies perfectly. They were all doing good, as always. Seonghwa, your boyfriend, included. But he was so stressed, he thought he couldn’t do well. The guys and you encouraged him, telling that he was doing a good work, but nothing could change his mind. So, you decided to cheer him and the rest of the members as well. After work, you bought their favorite meals and rushed to KQ building. You were so happy to make this dinner surprise for them. You never saw someone being so happy to eat like Ateez. The sound of the music in the corridor made you leave your thoughts. Wonderland was playing. You’ve listened to it 2 times, but you knew Atinys would love it! You took a look by the little window of the door. Seonghwa was practicing the chorus of Wonderland. Mingi and Yunho were stretching happily as always. Hongjoong was talking to Yeosang and Jongho on the couch. While San and Wooyoung were laying on the floor, visibly exhausted. San saw your face by the window and yelled “Y/N!”. Everyone, except Seonghwa, were looking at you. “I have a surprise for you guys!” said when you entered the room. You show them your hands full of bags. They yelled from happiness and ran to the table like little kids. “Chicken!” Said Yeosang when he saw his favorite brand. “Yes! You need to take a break guys! You are working too much.” While the members were busy picking their food in joy, you noticed that the eldest boy was still practicing his moves. “Seonghwa… Baby. Come eat too. I bought your fav-…” Your boyfriend cut you off straight, “I’m not hungry.” Everyone was looking at him. It wasn’t his habits to talk so coldly and not at you. “You should take some piece of chicken at least.” Not giving up. Yeosang coughed a bit. You knew how precious chicken for him is. “It will give you…” you continued. “Are you deaf Y/N? Or you don’t understand on purpose? Are you stupid?” Since you entered the room it was the first time, he faced you. You kind of wish that he didn’t. Hongjoong tried to say something but Seonghwa added, “We have a comeback in 2 days! Can you stop bothering us with your dishes and let us practice in peace?” He shouted at you. You looked at him sad, angry and confused. But he clearly said his thoughts. You bowed to the guys and exited the room. Hearing Mingi yelling “Yah! Hyung!”.

YUNHO

Sometimes Yunho asked about opinions. Maybe too much because you are used to say him all you think. Bad or good choice. This time he couldn’t handle it.

You are dating Yunho in secret for a year now. Only Ateez members and the staff know about your relationship. It’s too early to reveal it to the world. Yunho’s career could be in danger. Even if it was risky for him, your boyfriend always wanted to hang out with you. At restaurant, at cinema, at park, at mall, … Of course, you don’t mind all these dates. It was exceptional when you know how busy idols are. This time you were near the Han River with Yunho, walking at night. Hands in hands. He has free time and asked you on a date. You were talking about everything. Sometimes, he would push you near the water make you feel like you’re going to fall inside. “Suck a dork”, you thought. You two decided to lay on the grass for few minutes. When you started to talk. “Baby… I think we need to be more cautious.” You played with his long fingers intertwined with yours. “What do you mean Y/N?” You took a light breath, “Ateez are more and more famous. Atinys would definitively recognize you, now.” Your hands started to shake just thinking about him, being bashed in every social media. For sure, the majority of Atiny would be happy for him, but the other part would be another story. Yunho sighed, like always, when you talk about this subject. “I’ve told you that everything will be okay Y/N.” You bite your lips, he was pissed, “But we almost got caught yesterday and we were just walking in the street where no one go.” You added. You felt your boyfriend tense as he detached his hand from yours. “What are you doing? We were having a good time! Are you trying to break up with me?” he stood up from the grass. “Of course, not! I’m just scared. There’s many things we cannot do any more like-…” He cut you harshly, “Like what Y/N?” gripping his head angrily. “I know what I can do and what I cannot do! Stop babying me! You are being annoying!” He turned out and went to the way of Ateez dorm. While you were crying quietly. Everything you wanted was only safety and love. Why he couldn’t understand that.

YEOSANG

Yeosang was really shy when he debuted as an Ateez member. He has less confidence than the other boys. But when you started to date, you gave him more chance to express himself, getting confidence and he was on the good way to be a crackhead. But sometimes, he’s serious and the non-confident him was coming back.

It was a Friday night, as always you were walking to KQ for have some time with Ateez and of course your boyfriend Yeosang. You thought that you will find the boys on the couch taking a break. But when you entered, you saw the manager, hands on hips. The boys were looking at their foot, sad or disappointed. “I hope that you understand what I say, because I will say it only once.” What the heck happened? It’s the first time you saw the manager this mad. “Yes manager-nim.” Said Hongjoong as the leader. The staff left the room, as you bowed to them. Just after they left, San angrily threw his cap on the floor, swearing. Wooyoung went to him, calming his friend. Hongjoong, Seonghwa and Jongho talked about the situation. You walk toward the rest of them, where your boyfriend was. Obviously pissed too. “Hi boys. What’s happening here?” You kissed Yeosang cheek as he hugged you back. “Our performance at MCountdown was terrible.” Started Yunho. “We couldn’t hear well the music even with our earbuds.” Finish Mingi, hands on his face, sitting on the couch. “I’m sure guys that you did your best.” You tried to comfort Mingi, rubbing his back softly. “It wasn’t enough. The manager is really mad at us.” Said Yeosang. “But it’s not your fault. They should manage well when idols are performing.” You smiled. “I’m sure you didn’t heard well cause of Atiny fanchants! It’s getting more louder boys!” you giggled. The members gave you a smile, feeling a bit less depressed. Yeosang was not into it though. “We were not professional, that’s all.” Said your boyfriend angrily. “And what? Humans made mistake. You are not an alien Yeosang-ie.” You chuckled at him, thinking about him being a green alien. “Why do you always need to be funny? Can you be serious sometimes? You need to grow up!” Shouted Yeosang at you. You stopped laughing with Mingi instantly. “I-I just wanted to be nice to you.” “I don’t need you to be nice! I want you to be serious or leave! We need to practice.” As he faced the mirror. Mingi were looking at you, being sorry. You know Yeosang was mad and his self-confidence was gone. But his words hurt you. A lot. You decided to leave, taking back your stuff before slamming the door of their practice room.

Miracle in December (Soulmate AU / Ot 7)

Do you believe in a winter miracle? Perhaps, such thing can be exist. Well, for me it was hard to believe too. Not until I met 7 guys during a christmas week. Who knows, not even me, that moment changed me for life.

a/n : This is going to be my first poly bts story so bear with all my mistakes ok? Also, you might see hundreds of soulmate au. I will try my best to write this one, promise. (Sign : Tattoo)

Summary :  Jimin and Namjoon remembered you from the Christmas eve concert. They had the urge that you were their soulmate since then. One day, when everyone entered the cafe, they all met you. Perhaps this was the time for those two to find a prove.

Y/N POV.

21th December

I hated this pandemic so much. I sighed while sipping the tea. This was a week of Christmas, but nothing was going on. No celebration nor decoration around the town. The snow started covering some part of Seoul yet no one came out and felt excited about it. This was the first snow!

‘Ha, my favorite song.’ I glanced at my phone which now playing one of the songs in love yourself album, Her. I loved the meaning of this song. Every time I listen to it, I have an urge to glance at my tattoo.

In this world, a soulmate is common among people. By finding your partner, there must be some sign that connects you with him/her. For me, it was a tattoo. A set of butterflies with different colors were flying and white petals were also flowing along with them.

Sadly, I didn’t find mine yet and now I am 26 years old. Not like I cared since I had already given it up on my 24th birthday. The bell then rang and the door widely open. I glanced at the new customers. They were a group of men. I took my eyes off them before they noticed my gaze and thought I am a creep.

“Hyung I will take a seat there with Jungkook and Namjoon hyung. Order anything for me.” I heard one of them spoke. Hearing those names, my eyes widened a bit.

How could I not? They were BTS....my fav band ever. I was listening to their song a minute ago when the bell rang and they entered. I tried my best to not glanced toward them again. I didn’t want to act like  a stalker.

Author POV.

You were sitting in the corner of the cafe while gazing out the window. Little do you know that someone caught you glanced at them before you took your eyes off.

‘Why is she so familiar?’ Namjoon thought while looking at you. He kept thinking until he took a seat. 

“Jimin, corner table,” Namjoon whispered to the younger boy. Jimin's eyes then started searching until he found your presence. He gasped quietly yet Jungkook and Namjoon caught the sound.

“Hyung, she was that girl remember...when I told you guys last year after our Christmas eve concert...” Jimin chirped excitingly. Making the others who just arrived at the table wonder.

“This cafe is nice. You pick a good choice today.” Hoseok complimented Taehyung.

“What were you guys talking and why were you staring at that girl?”

“Shhhh hyung, you will make her notice us.” Jimin and Jungkook spoke in unison, replying Yoongi.

You then looked around the cafe. You were bored so you decided to order some snacks to fill up your stomach. Jungkook with Namjoon started standing up and followed you.

“I would like...red velvet macaroon please.” You ordered the cashier without noticing 2 men standing next to you.

“We would like to have the same as her please,” Jungkook spoke. Namjoon then took out the cash and paid for you as well as their order.

“Uhh thank you, but you didn’t need to...”

“We insist.” They answered. While waiting, Namjoon struck the conversation with you and followed by Jungkook. Then they invited you to their table. The other, except Jimin, was sitting there with confusion.

“Finally...hi I’m Ji-”

“Uhh well...I know you guys.” You looked at the floor while spoke. Hoseok and Jin glanced at  me with a smile on their face.

“This is akward. Why do you drag the girl here? She must be startled by us.” Jin spoke.

“But she is our...” Jungkook and Jimin tried to reply, but Yoongi interrupted.

“I know she looks familiar...you went to our concert last year, right? For the Christmas eve concert. These two told us they had a feeling that you were our soulmate.”

“I don’t think I’m...” You didn’t get a chance to finish your sentence when Taehyung noticed the tattoo- imprinted the sets of butterflies and petals scattered around them. Representing different colors.

“Yes, you are.” He revealed his sleeves and showed his butterfly tattoo; Representing his color.

Poly soulmates were common, but 7? and with them all? You didn’t want to believe it. Not until when all of them decided to show their wrists. Each of them owns a colored butterfly. Not all of them had the same tattoo as yours, but adding together it was similar to you, except the petals that only you had them.

“Well...let’s call this our first quick date yeah?” Jin proposed.

22nd December

Finding yourself standing in front of their managers and Bang PD nim wasn’t something you expected to happen today. The boys told everything to them and introduced you.

While they were talking, you stood still in your place. You were sweating, despite the cold weather. Your hands were shaking like crazy so does your heart. The sound ‘Lub-Dub’ was so loud that you were so sure everyone could hear it.

“Y/N.... your wrist,” Yoongi called you. You snapped back to the real world and showed them your wrist.

“Unbelievable.” The manager's expression was beyond shock. They couldn’t believe the elegant mark that appears on your skin. Bang PD nim, however, only smiled and gently patted you on your shoulder.

“Welcome to Big Hit, this is such a surprise for me. I never know my boys will grow up so fast. Also, I heard from Jhope that you were their fan, right?” You nodded.

“Then be careful, I think after we have an official announcement, some fans will be wild. If they are too much, tell me and I will take action on that.”

Later on, all of you went to their dorm. They planned to show you around first so you will be familiar with it when you move in after the announcement. Their dorm was huge. Comparing this to your home, yours shouldn’t even call ‘home’.

“What do you want to do? We didn’t have any plan except give you a tour for today. We were sorry that we didn’t ask you what you like or dislike yesterday. It seems like we ranted about ourselves too much.” Namjoon gave you an apology look so do the others.

“No... it fines. Today, a lot happen to me.” You spoke with a soft voice. The feeling of anxiety didn’t leave you alone yet.

‘Then be careful, I think after we have an official announcement, some fans will be wild.’ Thinking of that situation, your face drained color. You were worry that those people would think you were taking advantage of them. This will be a rare case toward the public when the company gives an announcement.

They all looked at each other. Your face showed the word ‘anxiety’ clearly. They then decided to do some icebreaking activities. From playing games, eating dinner together, and having movies night at the end. Everything was simple-but thanks to their efforts, it calmed you down.

Lastly, they finally got to know who you are.

23rd December

Since they weren’t sure whether they will have any schedule on 25th December; they decided to divide today into half. In the morning half, you would be with the hyung line. The afternoon is for the maknae line.

“Ready?” Jin asked the others. They all sat scattered in the living room with patience.

When you stepped out of the room, all eyes were on you. Your palms sweated and your body shook a little. Each of them then started showing different reactions.

“Stop staring, I know I did a great job,” Jin spoke to snapped them back to reality.

“It’s because of Y/N.” Everyone mumble in unison. You who didn’t really know why they were staring got nervous even more.

“Ready, princess?” Jin asked. Namjoon, Yoongi and Jhope were already standing behind him.

‘Ahhh stop my heart is going to burst.’ You chanted in your head while you tried to calm yourself down and nodded as an answer.The maknaes sent you off and bidded you a good bye.

“It so quiet.” You looked around the places. The snow fell and piled themself up-Looking so soft like giant pillows. The atmosphere that usually would be loud with giggles and laughters was nowhere to be seen. You missed the old christmas. 

“It isn’t really fun this year, but at least we get to hang out without anyone bother us.” Jhope replied.

“Pandemic isn’t agood thing. However, we appriciate the time for ourselves. I don’t remember the last time I can walk down the street and relax like this as kim namjoon. This is refreshing.”

You felt guilty and delight at the same time. Guilty because what they had said after your comment. Still, you felt delight that you could walk around with them without creating any controversy.

This small date with them so far was lovely. Even though it was just walking around town, went to each of their favourite places and took pictures, you enjoyed the moment. You were happy they got to enjoy themselves and be themselves. This was how the date should be.

“Y/N...let selfie here.” Jin grabbed you and put you in the middle while the four of them gathered by your side.

“Y/N...Y/N...let’s play arcade.” Taehyung proposed the idea while his eyes shoned brightly as if they were stars.

“Yeah let’s pair up. Me and Y/N, you and Jimin hyung.” Jungkook wrapped his arm around your shoulder. Your body got tense. The other two scolded him for his action.

After a long long arguement of who should be your partner, you finally got to play some games. You told them you would pair up with all of them. That became a final decision.

“Both of you should seperate, you guys are too good.” Jimin whined and pouted. When you and Jungkook became a pair, to 95 lines, it was like they had zero chance to win. 

“No.. I’m not...that good.” You denied with a stutter.

“I didn’t know you are an arcade geek.” Taehyung teased. Your face which already turned pink became crimson red. You couldn’t really handle when someone compliment or tease you. 

“Anothe round?” Jungkook proposed.

let’s go!

24th December

“Anything more?” You asked Jin and Jhope who was checking carefully. They didn’t want to miss any decorations for tomorrow.

“I think that’s all. Hyung, do you want me to buy more meat? I think there’s not much left in the fridge.” Namjoon checked the fridge again to make sure what they need to buy more.

“Finished?” 

Yoongi stood with a car key ready in his hand. When Jin finished the list, he gave to you. Jhope also reminded you and Namjoon to get everything, especially Namjoon.

“Please, take care of this baby as well.”

“Uhh..huh?” You nodded while Namjoon protested in the back. 

Indeed, on the 25th December, they had to perform. You made sure to go there and support them. Their performance was perfect. You eyes glued toward the screen in the back stage. You heart beated accordingly to the songs and your own excitement.

“How was it Y/N?” Jimin asked you pridefully. You were still zone out even after the performance finish for awhile and they entered the room.

“Her eyes glued to the screen.” The manager crew then chuckled. Making you blush and hid you face with your palm. With that sight, all of them laughed with delight.

“Now it’s the time to celebrate!!!” Jhope hyped with Jungkook and Taehyung along his side.

Living with them for nearly a week made you see various things. You got to know who their real selves. Everything about them that you got to learn was such a surprise, in spite that, you fell for them. And for this time, it wasn’t because of how they were your idols with good looking faces, enchanted voice and hardcore rap skills. This was because of their personalities, how they get along sometimes and fight the other time, how they were like biological brothers and how they loved one another.

Penny for your thought

You snapped back to reality. It has been a week and a half. You didn’t think that day at the cafe would lead you here. Thanking youself and your decision, you then answered the owner of that question.

“What is running in your little mind,petal?”

“Nothing really, just trying to process...”

“You still don’t believe it, do you.” Namjoon sighed and took a seat opposite you. Sipping his favourit cup of coffee, he looked at you deeply. You felt like he was searching something within your soul.

“Well, if you were in my position, it would be hard to believe, wouldn’t it?” You threw a question back to him as your answer.

“It wouldn’t, we trust our feeling.” Another voice appeared in between their conversation. Jungkook who just entered with Yoongi appraoched you guys and took a seat.

“It hard to explain, but when we first took a glance in the crowd and saw you, there was this feeling pounding in our chest....”

“And none of us couldn’t ignore it.” Yoongi finished Jungkook’s sentence.

Three of them now looked at you. Their eyes were begging you to believe and have a faith in them. Even if, this was something out of ordinary. 

“What a serious convo...” 

The rest of them entered. Jhope spoke and gathered around the four of you. Taehyung and Jimin could see how the other three tensed up. Jin, who tried hard to understand the situation, looked at you for the answer.

“You didn’t reject us, did you?” Jin asked with his firm voice.

Now six pair of eyes stared at you, fully upset with what thir oldest has asked. In the pass week, they had already prepared for rejection. However, as a human, they protected themselves by thinnking positively that you wouldn’t say it. 

BTS, the world boy band, wouldn’t get reject from anyone especially their own soulmate. Everyone loved them...right?

The atmosphere filled with nothing but silence. No one dared to speak. Only looking around and to each other. They sat there sweating. Heart beated like a drum. They couldn’t even breathe properly anymore.

“If I rejected you that day, I wouldn’t be here. Am I right?” Your arms now widely openned. And like the kids who finally found their mother, they ran into you and hugged tightly. Gripping on you as if you would escape them.

“Happy new year guys.”

“Happy new year petal.”

Perhaps, december is the most miraculous month.

Hey hey hey, first of, happy new year. I hope you guys will have a nice 2021. I planned to put this up earlier, but guess who knocked out in front of the lap top? Thanks for reading this story. This is my first poly ff so again bear with me. See you next story and HNY again...

hi megs! I’ve never been to your blog on desktop before, it’s so pretty! 6, 10, 12 and 35 for 5sos asks? - 💜molly

thank you so much molly!! i'm pretty proud of my desktop theme ngl i spent quite a bit of time figuring out how i wanted it 😊

6. fav bromance? ooo that's a hard one and i don't want to give another non answer like i did for fav member but idk! each one has different things i like about them! for example i really love cashton bc they just genuinely always seem to enjoy hanging with each other, but i also love malum bc they have strong childhood best friends energy and even though they can be pretty different they seem to deeply care about each other a lot, but I *also* love lashton bc of how they seem to look out for each other also the found family element of them constantly referring to the other as their brother is *chef's kiss*, but also I find mashton fascinating bc they're the one dynamic i haven't pinned down and I think about the zach sang interview where ashton said he works best when michael doesn't like his idea at least once a week, and i could go on and on about all the others but i'm definitely taking up way too much space on this one question so i'll shut up now

10. which songs mean the most to me? answered!

12. fav & least fav from each album? ooo this is tricky okay for self titled fav is probs long way home & least fav would be,,, (i actually have 3 songs on this album that i haven't added to my liked songs so i'll just pick a random one of those) mrs all american; for sgfg my fav changes regularly but currently it's money 😌 and least fav is fly away; got youngblood fav is why won't you love me & least fav is empty wallets (which is a great song but there's this one sound effect that is straight from a 21 pilots song which makes me laugh almost every time); and for calm fav is currently thin white lies & least fav is kill my time.

35. do i own any merch? ig it depends on what you consider merch? bella gave me these stickers of some famous 5sos tweets off etsy and i also own dvds for calm, youngblood, & sgfg; i don't really own any official 'merch'

#i really went off on the bromance bit huh 😅 #those aren't in a specific order btw and i didn't leave out ones on purpose i just did them by what popped into my head 1st #i'd be happy to elaborate on the other ones if people wanted me to i just didn't want it to get too long lol #and did i say money for fav sgfg song for the drama? mayhaps #i mean i really do love it but it's not like consistently my top song off that album #but this week i'm feeling partial to it 😌 #ask game #5sos #answering mail #molly

#ayumix2020

I spent half of yesterday trying to get all my favorite YouTube rips of #ayumix2020 songs on some of my Spotify playlists. Why it took so long is because I have a MacBook from 2010 and it runs on coal. These missing songs were a bunch of my top favs so I decided to put in the time yesterday to re-rip them from YouTube and re-add them to Spotify.

I had already added these songs a couple of months ago, but then I dared to move some into other playlists and then boom, they disappeared from my phone. They played and showed up on my laptop, but for whatever reason, would not on my phone. Of course, as a lot of Spotify FAQ answers go, I was screwed. Thanks for nothing, Spotify Desktop.

I know I’m like a year late on this but some of these remixes are so freaking creative and amazing. Like you can tell when people have such an ear for music and it feeds the soul.

It was also super refreshing to hear some of Ayu’s songs with a more modern sound. While ayu-mi-x 7 aged pretty well, if you listen to any of her old ayu-mi-xes, you can really pick up on that early 2000s sound. And then some of them (especially the ones released on singles) sound like absolute noise; it makes me wonder if we even had ears back then. For some old remixes, the sound is super nostalgic and still vibe-able, but when that’s all we had for 10+ years, it’s SO NICE to hear some new takes.

I realized I tend to be partial to the remixes that aren’t techno in nature but of course I always appreciate a good house/trance/EDM remix! Below are some of my favorites, and you just might understand why I worked for 12 hours trying so hard to make these songs accessible ;)

1. LOVE ~Destiny~ (Alonso Montero Remix) - Alonso Montero This remix turns this sleeper into a cute and simple techno track, and not in a bad way at all! 

2. SEASONS (Aura Qualic Remix) [Uplifting Trance] - Aura Qualic I’ll admit, I would groan anytime I saw any song from Duty or I am... show up in the hashtag, only because there are already 8294739 remixes of those songs, and I’m craving some remixes of her more obscure and overlooked albums/tracks. But this one of SEASONS is pretty damn good and well-produced.

3. kanariya - beamgame a.k.a. 8LY [éitli] This version gives this song a sultry touch. kanariya is already sexy in its OG form, but this is a different sexy.

4. evolution (PHUNKSTAR Remix) - Bentley Jones Modern, well-produced, and just plain good :)

5. HANABI ~episode II~ (REMIX) - DJ cha-p I might be biased because HANABI ~episode II~ is my most favorite Ayu song ever, but damn this remix slaps.

Real Me (80′s lover remix) - DJ cha-p I’m DJ cha-p’s number-one fan, I swear. I did notice the ‘80s sound was a trend among a lot of the remixes in general.

6. HANABI (Orchestra Version) - DJ 秀吉 That beginning piano is just so haunting and gives me chills. So beautiful T_T

7. SEASONS - DODOWAKA This version is so fresh and summery and such a bop!

8. Moments (Dominant Space Future House Remix) - Dominant Space I go so hard to this remix, I wish it was 7 minutes long. 

9. INSPIRE (Rockabilly remix) - Hidetaka Suga OMG like I love how much this works!!!! I kind of hate it too but I LOVE IT!!!! He has a bunch of other good bluesy rock remixes, but INSPIRE is my most favorite.

teddy bear (Rock Ballad Remix)

ANGEL’S SONG (Rockabilly remix)

10. INSPIRE "KAZUKI's 90's Inspired Remix" - Kazuki Shintaku This seriously takes me back to LA Gears and Zubaz pants.

11. LyxKP

Just.... just listen.

blossom (Nostalgic 80′s Italo Disco)

I am... (Flute, Piano, Strings)

Duty (Bass, String Section & Guitar)

Pride (piano sonata + choir)

vogue (Acoustic Mood)

HANABI ~episode II~ (Cello, Guitar & Piano Trio)

12. kanariya 〜おしゃれピアノリミックス 〜 - Michisuke-P Another slow and sexy version.

13. BLUE BIRD (Otak’s Flashback Remix) - otak11 Out of all the throwback remixes of this song, this one is the best. I love the beginning.

14. Terminal (Orchestra) Demo - S W This version is so fucking evocative and beautiful, it works too well and drives you crazy. Ayu needs to re-record this song just like this. 

15. Sean North Hearing stuff like this makes me so impressed with people. I love how someone can hear Ayu and be like, this needs Celtic flutes. It’s so creative and brings a sound to Ayu you never would hear officially.

BLUE BIRD [Celtic arrange]

fairyland [Celtic arrange]

16. M -takamatt remix- - takamatt Again: simple, modern... something nice to bob your head to.

17. is this LOVE? (Terusik Piano Remix) - Terusik I’m just happy to see this song get some love.

18. M (TTSYa REMIX) - TTSYa This was one of the first remixes I heard right after Ayu announced the campaign. It reminds me of the first part of quarantine when it was fun. So good!

19. vogue (Xelakad 20th Anniversary Remix) - Xelakad The strings part reminds me of the music on the sand levels on Super Mario Bros. for the Wii. I love it :) I also am partial to Xelakad remixes; I love his Reggaeton remix of ourselves and his Ambient mix to Two of us—oldies but such goodies!!!

20. evolution 〜祭〜 (和風 EPIC TAIKO REMIX) - ��대석SAMSARIDER This remix is just plain cool!

21. Voyage - 林勇太郎 I read on AHS someone saying this sounds like an anime opening and now I can only imagine it opening to some coming-of-age epic journey anime, like Demon Slayer or something.

22. Days (Lo-Fi Reggae.Ver) - 音楽学校バンブースタジオ It’s just so sweet!

Honestly there are more I love, and everyone who participated did such a great job, but I’m tired LOL. I hope Ayu blesses us with ayu-mi-x 8 soon and we see some of these awesome tracks.

[thehighestmountains]

evermore review and ranking:

overall, i found this album to have more skippable songs than folklore and the middle of my ranking definitely feels like the middle whereas in my folklore ranking, #14 was still a fav. folklore was a true anomaly where i was just adding the whole album to my playlist. evermore really feels like folklore’s little sister getting the hand-me-downs, who just doesnt know who she is or what shes doing with her life, what is the theme exactly. 

tis the damn season. i fell in love in the first five seconds. i love the moody mature guitar strums and drum beats amping up the entire song. the story of coming back to an old love in your hometown reminds me of the show ‘the normal people’. im a real sucker for sagas, timeless loves that pull you in time and time again, familiar feelings that just feel right because you experienced them at such a young age.  this song gets me.

There's an ache in you, put there by the ache in me But if it's all the same to you It's the same to me

So we could call it even You could call me "babe" for the weekend ​'Tis the damn season, write this down

Sleep in half the day just for old times' sake I won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay So I'll go back to L.A. and the so-called friends

long story short. this is such a banger r u joking. i feel every single one of my blood cells pumping as soon as this song starts. i even love the post-chorus, a great break from the chorus and the verses. i could post the whole song as my favorite lines.

And you passed right by I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides The knife cuts both ways If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels breakAnd I fell from the pedestal Right down the rabbit hole Long story short, it was a bad time When I dropped my sword I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door And we live in peace But if someone comes at us, this time, I'm ready

ivy. hard not to compare this to illicit affairs, but this is like an upbeat version. if i didnt even pay attention to the lyrics, i would think this is so fun and catchy, it sounds good. there is no anger, there is a joy. and i just like it.

Oh, goddamn My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand Taking mine, but it's been promised to another Oh, I can't Stop you putting roots in my dreamland My house of stone, your ivy grows And now I'm covered in you So yeah, it's a fire It's a goddamn blaze in the dark And you started it

willow. im really glad this was the leading single because this is a beautiful stringy piece with a great melody. when i was reading the lyrics before listening to the song, it sounded extremely cheesy with “thats my man”, “i come back stronger than a 90s trend”, but in the song, i love it. theres a lot of heart and oompf to this.

And if it was an open-shut case I never would've known from that look on your face Lost in your current like a priceless wine

The more that you say, the less I know Wherever you stray, I follow

coney island. i wonder why she picked coney island, a very summery location with the bright lines and merry go, when the whole album is supposed to be a winterscape. i barely understand what this song is about but i enjoy the sounds.

Did I close my fist around something delicate? Did I shatter you?

evermore. i love when justin vernon starts singing with that beautiful falsetto “cant not think of all the cost and the things that will be lost”.

Or the violence of the dog days I'm on waves, out being tossed

champagne problems. before i get into this, i like this song, im impressed with the bridge and the chorus, i enjoy the story. just a small thing: title phrase. i just dont vibe with it, the rest of the lyrics couldve been more connected with champagne, i dont believe champagne to be any alcoholic’s choice of drink. and one more nitpick, who likes that random piano mash at the end, anyone?

Your mom's ring in your pocket My picture in your wallet Your heart was glass, I dropped it

One for the money, two for the show I never was ready so I watch you go Sometimes you just don't know the answer 'Til someone's on their knees and asks you

tolerate it - this is a good mellow song, i can relate to the deep sadness of feeling ignored, every thing you do is just dropped. i feel this could grow on me, especially because at the end we really get that jolt of energy, i can leave, i can do it.

I wait by the door like I'm just a kid Use my best colors for your portrait

gold rush. this song is a little too sweet for me, specifically “i dont need a gold rush gold rush”. its just an upbeat and repetitive pop song. i also find this specific high school energy of really wanting someone but also despising their appeal to just not relate to the headspace im currently in.

no body no crime. whoooa that blast of country. it kind of feels weird in this album. i think the chorus is incredibly boring, “i think he did it but i just cant prove it” over and over.

No, no body, no crime But I ain't lettin' up until the day I die

closure. i cant get over the constant banging of industrial pots and pans throughout this whole song lol. i really went back and forth between do i like this, no i hate it, ok i could get used to it, no no it doesnt fit with the lyrics and how shes singing. i also dont care for “yes i got your letter, yes im doing better”.

we have a large pile of songs at the bottom, they all mush together in a sad corner. these could maybe grow on me but i also would be fine never listening to them again. with folklore’s sad songs, like epiphany or my tears ricochet, there was still something that appealed to me. most of these, there just isnt anything.

happiness - similar to tolerate it, i think the lyrics carry and convey a specific feeling very well, i have definitely felt this way, but i dont feel like the instrumentals match her emotional singing. i think she really carries this song and the instruments just let me down.

No one teaches you what to do  When a good man hurts you And you know you hurt him too

marjorie - i feel like a song about her grandmother could have been so great instead we get “what died didnt stay dead” over and over and a bridge that is mostly about herself. “shouldve kept every grocery store receipt cause every scrap of you would be taken from me” is the worst of the lines, thats what you want to keep? grocery receipts? the song should be about her grandmother leaving all her “backlogged dreams” to her, and im not getting much of that.

cowboy like me - takes one... to... know... one...... this song does not embody  the type of cowboy shes talking about, perhaps a 80 year old woman singing about her tendencies to run away. im not convinced taylor is singing from a place she understands enough about. my least favorite line in the album goes to “the tennis court was covered up with some tent-like thing”. tent like thing? lol ok. although i will say one of my favorite lines is “forever is the sweetest con”, but that gem cannot save this song.

dorothea - this is the worst version of seven from folklore. its about ten times less interesting, very bare bones, hardly any story or background information. i dont particularly like the name dorothea. giving me major grandma vibes, these last three songs are major grandma vibes.
