Heyyy ^^ another OOO related ask...how did you found out about them? And what was the moment that you decided you wanted to check them out closer? ...also hope you're having a nice day <3
So, the story is that I was doing excercise with YouTube in the background playing kpop, I think A.C.E, and then a song that I don't recognize but that sounds really freaking sexy comes on. It was libid0. That's how I found them, YouTube decided it was time.
That scenario repeated itself a few many times and it's libido. I can't not listen to it.
So I became a casual listener but then I wanted to know how they acted behind the cameras when they were being very homo-something for the mv. And they were just joking around like normal dudes and being idiots. That's how I fell in love (that and freaking Time Leap and the rest of their fucking discography).
So yeah. Feel free to aid my descent into OnlyOneOf by sending content of them being questionable dumbasses. I'd appreciate it.
Jason here. So I'm back in your inbox, this time to yell about OnlyOneOf. I've watched both the original MV and the Guilty Pleasure version of libid0 and asdffhjhjksieoewlkjle !!! Like, I have legit not seen any group like them up to this point. They are amazing!!!
hi jason!!
ahhh you & my ooo anon should chat! (ooo anon, jason is @shinee-happy-people 👀👀) or you could check my ooo anon tag because they always send me so much stuff if you wanna check out more about the group.
yeah, they're super unique & so talented!
i think they're really underrated actually.
they have some amazing music and performances.
i always rave about their b-sides, but they really are so good. go listen to their albums!
i have a friend that listens to kpop and apparently this one group just came out with a comeback recently which has already got a lot of backlash for Being Too Homoerotic (choreo on national tv included grabbing a crotch while barely wearing clothes etc) and while the video is cool *and* beautiful *and* gay (it genuinely doesnt seem bait-y) i dont personally like the song but im Super Pumped - especially now that montero just came out and has been so so successful/loved - that more content like this is being created
If your automatic reaction to ace folks poking fun at how h0rny people act, or venting about fans ignoring a canon ace’s identity is:
“UH, YOU’RE OPPRESSING ME?” You’re intentionally ignoring a sexual orientation that is quite often called the ‘Invisible Identity’? Due to people thinking ‘That is not a thing. Everyone is like that?’
“Aces can have a libid0 too/Aces can still have sex!” Which is correct. However, that leads to a hella slippery slope. Furthering the stereotype that asexuality and celibacy are the same thing. In addition to justifying the ‘You just haven’t found the right person’ narrative. In addition to making aces with no libid0 feel even more broken. In addition to handing aphobe’s a metaphorical knife to wield. In addition to being the top excuse for making our VERY limited canon representation h0rny bc YOU want them to bang. IF YOU AREN’T GOING TO PROPERLY RESEARCH/DISCUSS THIS CONCEPT, DON’T FUCKING USE IT. IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A MASSIVE JACKASS. IT COMES OFF AS FETISHIZTION. YOU REMEMBER HOW UPSET YOU GOT WHEN BBC SHERLOCK KEPT QUEERBAITING YOU? THAT'S HOW IT FEELS.
“It’s not like I’m making them straight? Why do you care?” My dear, sweet fool. Meet me behind the Denny’s, let’s just have a chat. I did NOT go through 28 years on this fucking mudball for you to spout shit like that. Ace rep is JUST AS MOTHER FUCKING IMPORTANT AS THE REST OF THE LGBT+. This bullshit is EXACTLY what hampers the progress that ace’s have DESPERATELY fought for.
“You’re being unreasonable/dramatic.” Am I though? So let’s take a few examples then. Let’s hypothetically say that Toby Fox went and retconned Alphys and Undyne’s relationship so they were both straight. Like full on making one of them a cis dude. You’d be justifiably furious. Let me introduce you to Jughead from the Archie comics.
For those who are unaware, in the comics? JUGHEAD IS CONFIRMED ACE. FULL OUT ACE.
Do you understand how exciting this was for ace folks? Let me just show you how much this meant to us.
That’s just a few of the reactions to this reveal. I vividly remember when the issue dropped because like. THAT IS JUGHEAD. JUGHEAD FROM ONE OF THE MOST WELL KNOWN COMICS IN THE WESTERN WORLD. DO I NEED TO SAY MORE?
Yes. Yes I do, but not because I’m happy.
There’s a little show called Riverdale. You may have heard of how wild it is. That isn’t a compliment. Of course Jughead would have to be there, however so there was the potential of an on screen discussion of his asexuality. It was a full discussion in the comic, so I (and many others) held our breath.
Alas, it was not meant to be. They totally ignored his orientation, and made him straight.
Jughead being ace wasn’t just a popular headcanon. He was CONFIRMED ace. Are you starting to see why we aren’t just “Being dramatic?”
As much as I dislike Hazbin Hotel, you know what I do like? I LIKE THAT ALASTOR IS WORD OF GOD CONFIRMED TOUCH-REPULSED ARO/ACE. You know what I don’t like? That the tiniest FRACTION of fanworks involving him seem to care about addressing it.
I love The Magnus Archives. I love that John is CONFIRMED ACE. WORD OF GOD CONFIRMED. You know what I hate? How often I find that people just...don’t care.
Once more, if this happened to any other confirmed LGBT+ character, you would be LIVID.
So no. I am not overreacting. This is a PROBLEM. One that you don’t care to address, seemingly.
In conclusion, you’re not just an asshole. You’re a MASSIVE asshole. You make jokes about the straights CONSTANTLY. Ace’s should have every right to mock the shit out of general fandom’s hyperfixation on making everyone h0rny. I will not be accepting criticism, but you’re welcome to try.
All I know about OnlyOneOf is that I think they are very innovative with their music despite LibidO being the only title track I've heard (heard a few bsides too) they have really good voices, and unfortunately a member Love had to leave. Idk why, health reasons or undisclosed personal reasons? I wish him the best
I've been going into their music and really enjoying it. I know Love left after libid0 (I find it strangely ironic??) but they actually had a comeback just a few days ago with skinz and they've continued that concept.
