watched the kdrama celebrity over the last few days. was hooked from the first few seconds bc the EDITING in the show, & just the cinematography in general is on a whole nother fuckin level, man.
also, just. a really great show in general. v good at building suspense & throwing loops & very nice themes/takeaways. also just a rly interesting way to convey those themes/takeaways.
i think the only issue we had w it was the romance, but. eh. it wasn't so bad that it took away from the ample amount of good shit in the show.
def recommend it!! especially to anyone who really enjoyed the glory bc it has v similar themes.
#mine#celebrity#celebrity kdrama#i think it's definitely a v interesting & SUPER fucking relevant for modern times exploration of jealousy in the modern age#it definitely felt v cathartic in a lot of ways for someone who has so much trauma surrounding jealousy being aimed towards me#& it resonated too as someone pursuing content creation#idk how the instagram grind is at ALL. ive literally never used instagram properly & rly have zero cares to.#but. all of the shit portrayed still resonates in any field of content creation#& i think its overall message of the dangers of modern jealousy in the digital age & esp the hatred in can create were done rly well.#i wish i could make it universally required viewing honestly. esp bc it's like. the message of not just the average person#but specifically ppl even in ur own circles can turn on u at the drop of a hat for such superficial shit these days.#ive heard a LOT of content creators sharing v similar experiences to ones portrayed in the show. esp the holier than thou attitude.#it def comes across as the creator did research or even has experience w these things themself bc damn. it's accurate.#and once again. THE EDITING IS SO FUCKING GOOD MAN#THAT OPENING SCENE I COULD WATCH FOREVER IT'S SO DAMN GOOD. AND SMOOTH. AND THE OP?!?!?!? BANGER!!!#id recommend it for the editing alone honestly#it's just a nice bonus that it's also just a genuinely rly great show that i think is important to watch#esp if u consume a lot of content creators online or are one urself.#much to think abt and analyze. reflect on. def opened our eyes a lot.

Can you tell me the songs that express Shinee's style through the years ? PS: I'm sure your week will end up well !! All the love xxxxx
Anon u rly have me googling “SHINee discrography in order” on my work computer rn lmao
I’m gonna try to do 1 title track + 1 bside per year and see where that takes me lmao but I’m only going to do Korean releases bc if I added Japanese songs into the mix I’d simply explode it’s too much
2008:
Replay (obviously) is just pure SHINee essence at its finest in my opinion. Sweet and cute and catchy all at once. Timeless.
Love Should Go On it’s kinda funky, lots of minkey rapping which is just *chef’s kiss* but also the added plus of baby Taemin rapping as well, plus jongyu’s beautiful vocals. Idk there’s just something about this song that I’ve always adored. Maybe because it features all five members’ voices in ways that worked for them, which wasn’t super typical in the earlier albums since Taemin’s voice was still developing. Adorable.
2009:
Ring Ding Dong (yes I’m picking it over Juliette it was a rough decision but I did it) it’s just such typical SHINee in the sense that it’s a timeless bop, everyone knows it, everyone remembers it. Everyone knows NEVER to listen to it before an exam (which I learned the hard way in college bc I thought it was fake as fuck but then haha middle of a history final mumbling ringadingdingding elastic fantastic in my gotdamn head it’s a miracle I passed that exam lmao)
Romeo+Juliette it’s not like a super popular song I don’t think? But again, there’s just something about it that’s so purely SHINee. The beat, the way they sing so well together, the way their voices just match & compliment each other’s so well? It’s a little slower paced, but you could definitely still dance along to it. Kinda sensual I guess? A good teeny bopper song by a teeny bopper band of teeny bopper boys. Was my absolute favorite song all through high school lmao the way jonnghyun’s voice is so soft yet powerful at the same time? Spectacular.
2010:
Lucifer I mean it’s just obvious again like Replay, it’s what dragged me into the pits of Kpop hell. Everyone knows Lucifer. It’s quintessential Kpop at this point. Taemin’s dang stripey shirt hypnotized me in that dance practice Istg.
A-Yo is sweet and funny and silly and still so so good all at the same time. Taemin essentially calls you a dumbass in the first like 45 seconds but manages to do it sounding sweet as could be. Really uplifting. Catchy. Easy to sing along to. Listen to it whenever you’re sad and I’m telling you it’s instant happiness. Minho actually gets to sing in it and his voice is just lovely I adore this song with my whole heart. It’s lighthearted and fun. SHINee to me had always just been a group that’s uplifting and comforting, and this song is, in my opinion, the greatest example of that.
2011 (they didn’t have any Korean releases in 2011 so bonus songs from earlier years!)
The SHINee World (Doo-Bop) [2008] I mean I feel like this is self explanatory. Dibidibidiss my name is Minho.
Jo Jo [2009] again, SHINee’s just good at happy fun sweet songs. Jo Jo is always fun to sing along to.
Electric Heart [2010] is a bit darker in the way it feels. Very sensual. Breathy voices and all that. I was super obsessed with this song in high school as well idk. A nice look at SHINee transitioning into a bit more of a mature group, breaking away from the typical teeny bopper boyband vibe. Still funky fresh tho.
2012:
Sherlock aside from being the only title track from 2012 lmao SHINee have often mentioned this was when they felt like they really started acting like a Team and relying on each other more heavily. This was also when the Cold War took place but I personally don’t remember seeing any of it, so to me, Sherlock was just a cool song with a cool dance and Taemin having a terrible weave (and I got in trouble during an after school religion class bc I showed my friend Taemin’s shirtless promo pic and the Youth Leader thought it was porn lmao)
Honesty was a song that really felt personal, idk why. Like the members singing directly to us. Soft and sweet and still so meaningful. Like I’m gonna cry just thinking abt it lmao
2013:
Everybody so 2013 is so hard bc so many good songs came out that year. Like I genuinely am having a hard time deciding, but I think Everybody is a good pick because it shows how SHINee has never been afraid to experiment with their sound. It sounds totally different than anything else they had ever put out, but it still was so SHINee. It’s powerful and it makes you pay attention and like lmao god I’m not quiet abt loving a man in uniform so the wardrobe rly did it for me. But also wow all of their vocals are so good in this song THE LONG HIGH NOTES love it love to see it.
Beautiful just seems like a good pick. Again, 2013 is jam packed with amazing songs, it’s difficult to narrow it down. But beautiful was a song that was always super comforting as well. Their high notes and the way they sing together. Idk. I adore this song.
No Korean releases in 2014 and I’m getting tired lmao so no bonuses
2015:
View of course. Still the best summer bop in existence. We really see the members start to get more involved in this song specifically, from Taemin choosing the choreographer, Jonghyun writing lyrics as always, and Key picking the wardrobe. It’s a fun lighthearted song. I still listen to it when I drive by the beach because that’s just the vibe. Definitely a turning point for them, in my opinion, because this is when I think they really become more mature? Idk how to explain it. They don’t seem like a “boyband” anymore at this point to me, they’re just a band.
An Encore genuinely brings me to tears anytime I listen to it. It’s a SHINee ballad, and a really soul crushing one at that lmao. Idk why it’s soul crushing, necessarily, it just is.
2016:
1 of 1 is funky and fun and goofy and just so so SHINee. It’s not that other groups wouldn’t be able to perform a song like 1 of 1, it’s that SHINee performed it in a way that no other group could do it. They take every song they’re given and make it theirs, really. They own it.
Beautiful Life is another song that just makes you happy. It’s a ballad and it’s sweet and Jinki wrote the lyrics why am I only just finding this out now??! It’s a beautiful life. SHINee will always remind you of why life is worth living, tbh. Minho’s voice is beautiful in this song just a fun fact.
No korean releases in 2017
2018:
Good Evening 2018 is really hard for me to pick tbh. But Good Evening is a song that’s so heartfelt and emotional and soul crushing while still being fun? Maybe I’m projecting my own feelings from the time it was released to the song itself, but whatever. Good Evening is a bop. Love it. Makes me cry literally every gotdamn time I listen to it love that love crying on the freeway blasting this song it’s great.
Undercover was a personal favorite. Tbh a lot of the songs released in 2018 were very hard for me to listen to, and I still haven’t listened to all of them. I just can’t do it yet. But Undercover was fun and funky and idk, that’s just what SHINee is all about.
No releases in 2019 or 2020
2021:
Atlantis listen, this is also a hard decision. Don’t Call Me is quintessential SHINee in the way that it strays from the norm, it’s them trying something entirely new to them, but Atlantis feels like coming home after being away for a long time. It’s not that it’s the same kind of song they usually do, but there’s just something about that’s so familiar and comfortable.
Area is a song I cannot listen to without crying my eyes out. Doesn’t matter how many times I listen to it, doesn’t matter what time of day it is, doesn’t matter what I’m doing. It’s a beautiful song written by Minho and we all know it’s for Jonghyun. And that’s what SHINee is all about, too. It’s about the five of them being together, working together, being a team. The song makes me cry, sure, but it’s a good kind of cry. Also their voices are so beautiful as always.
HONORABLE MENTION
I fucking love Body Rhythm [2021] we all know I love Body Rhythm I feel personally victimized by Minho for promising a Body Rhythm performance and NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH I still nag him abt it on bubble idgaf. Anyways it’s sexy and horny and makes me wanna dance with someone while drinking a vodka cranberry and wearing skimpy clothes and red lipstick WHERES MY BODY RHYTHM PERFORMANCE CHOI MINHO YOU ABSOLUTE T E A S E

Alright internet where no one rly listens to my annoying ass, I'm gonna have a talk with myself in public. Which really, isn't all that shocking because I've been talking to myself the entire time I've been alone because I'm sooooo spun. Plus this blog is like 40% a journal for me to talk about the things going on in my life. Also, don't even waste your time reading this shit, I just needed a big ass vent session abt life.
I'll start with the bad so I can end on a high note.
After days of being ignored by fp I finally split. I messaged him tonight, not even wanting his attention but I lost my fav nail polish and asked him if he could please look in his truck because it was pretty expensive and also my fav. He ignored me. So fuck him and especially fuck him for fucking with my feelings when he knows how fragile I am. My current task of self improvement is understanding and accepting that no one owes me anything including explaining why they leave me. I won't ask for that. I'm not going to block/delete him either, though. I've known him 16 years and if he needs me I'll be there for all the emotional support, I just won't see him anymore.
I'm officially down to my last $60 until I can manage to secure a job but I want to have the holidays with my family and don't want to start until Jan 2. This is a problem because I have habits to support and no way to do so without said job. I imagine I'll make something happen between now and then because I always do. Oh the life of an addict always finding a way to get high.
I'm skeptical about serving and the fast paced, super demanding, extremely socially interactive, and oh so loud environment I'll be in. It is going to stress me the fuck out and give my anxiety a hell of a time. However, being right off a huge interstate and the restaurant I hope to get on at means the tips will always be good. When a friend was going to start there she was promised $50 for a 4-5 hour shift during the slow times when she first started. Plus they don't pee test, always a huge bonus for me because getting pee or buying synthetic is a real pain.
One of my best (but god awful slow) plugs really stressed me tonight. I'm glad I finally scored and am in a positive mental space again, ready to face the split with fp and all the other things I have going on. But my girl, after taking a long ass time which didn't bother me today because I had things to do, we get to her place at about the same time and we smoked almost immediately. Then we did a few hot rails. And that's when the stress started. She gets loud and yells a lot, a trigger for me (she is unaware). Her temper is bad and when she goes off she just keeps on going. Usually it's just talking in circles and for the longest time I've been hanging with her and using her to score, it didn't feel directed at me but the last few times I've seen her it's felt like she's got me in the scope now too. So she's going all the way off and I'm constantly apologizing, trying to fix it, and calm her down because I'm so triggered and trying not to show it but she doesn't so I ended up leaving after the second time she tore into me and a friend. I felt bad but I needed to for my own mental health.
It hit me earlier today that I've had three people in the last week cut from my life if not completely then for the most part and all of them I've known for years. Fp a friend of 16 years, another friend of 13 yrs and highschool crush, and a friend of about 4 years. I know my mental state has been off lately but it doesn't do much for a girls self esteem when friends start dropping like flies. I know I haven't done anything wrong but it feels like I have because why else would this have happened?
Since I've been known to be a negative person I'm sure I could go on but that's the shit currently on my mind and plate.
Now for the good & happy things!
I finally got my nails painted! It wasn't my fav color and I even went to the store but they were out of the color I wanted so I got a couple others. I had to take the first color I did off because the clear coat was somehow motherfucking bubbly and my brain wasn't allowing that but when I'm done here I'm going to do them a nice turquoise that I love!
I was able to get spuuuuuuuun! Despite all the things with my plug, I really had a pretty damn good night. Usually I don't sniff Tina because of the burn, but I even hit a few lines after smoking and taking a couple hot rails. I took a line of a perc too but downers and opiates aren't really my thing.
I left ol girl's still spun despite her being a Betty Buzzkill and took a guy I met at her place a couple weeks ago down the road then when I was going to drop him off, we sat in the car and talked for a while. After idk 45 minutes we went inside his house because it was good conversation and I wasn't really ready to leave. He's 9 years older than I am but we had similar views and thoughts on a lot of things and I'm pretty sure we both enjoyed that 2 hour+ conversation we had. I may have a new pal and even a possible work hookup for my uncle so he's not home all the time annoying me lmao.
This one I'm not entirely sure it's good because my logical self is telling bpd self to fucking stop BUT it feels good so I'm putting it there. I met a guy through a mutual friend a while back and we have really connected with each other. He and I have a GREAT banter, I love talking to him and we never run out of shit to talk about. Tonight I realized that even before previous fp dipped, he was starting to give Devin some competetion. Of course, he has things to work on but who doesn't? I saw him this evening and we went for a drive, railed down a few lines, then blew some clouds talking the whole time. Idk what prompted him to tell me he wanted to kiss me but he said it and I let him. It could've been the ice or him being a lil tipsy, but his kisses felt so genuine. It's been a while since I was kissed like someone was absolutely amazed by me and it's making me giddy. There are important parts I'm leaving out rn but this covers the main frame since I hadn't mentioned him until tonight. I just need to be sure I control myself and don't rush into obsession and I'll do my best to remind myself so the bpd isn't gasoline on the flame. I do see him tomorrow though. He owes me $20 I fronted him and he told me to go to where he works which is within walking distance of my house in the afternoon so he can pay me and we will hang out in his camper he keeps parked at his boss' house.
Later this morning I plan to clean my room because I definitely have been slacking on that. It's so funny everyone thinks all tweakers keep a spotless house but that's not true. A lot of us will sit in the same place for hours doing the dumbest shit you ever saw. I'm one of them but my depression also plays a part because I never feel like cleaning. Laundry needs done though and the room is just cluttered. I'd like to invite people over but with this much crap everywhere that's not possible.
All in all, after such a downer of a week, things are feeling more up and I'm finding motivation to do more. Maybe I'll even start therapy again after the new year. Maybe not, but we can see.
