I vibe with hyperfixating w/ characters. To varying degrees I’ve fixated on: Armin from AOT for a while, 1D had a DEATH GRIP on me for a few years, (SEVEAL book characters through my teen years)I had an Alucard from castlevania fixation for maybe 3 ish years (‘ending’ only recently) and now Hobes lives in my head rent free ngl.

I get the “being sad cuz you can’t meet them” part, I’ve felt it. I try to not daydream TOO much cuz otherwise it takes over my life and I’m doing a considerable effort to live OUT of my own head, but BOI do I LOVE just daydreaming about my blorbos of choice.

I don’t speak too much about it (mostly the daydreaming) cuz to an extent it feels like a “me thing” (like something I don’t wanna share with anyone cuz it’s special to me), but if given the chance I DO info dump on my fixations.

I don’t think it’s cringe, not at all. These things are stuff that helps us process the world and our experiences with it. I believe everyone has sensitive weird shit that they don’t talk about, but if there’s something Ive learned is that we hardly ever have completely unique experiences. Most people just hide their oddness. Fandom being a prime example of how much our blorbos can mean to us. I think it’s okay and normal. (Until it goes overboard and people send idk violent messages to others because they headcanon something differently idk, the unreasonable stuff imo)

Can’t believe our of everything people would dare to make JOY and INTEREST the things with negative connotations. Being mean should be cringe, being a bully should be embarrassing. But unashamedly enjoying stuff?? That’s wonderful.

Anyone too embarrassed of their own vulnerability that they deal with it by making others feel bad about their interests are the most immature out if all of us.

Joy is everything that’s good with the world.

Even just seeing the letter 1D makes me wanna scream (in a good way!!) cause it takes me back to high school lol 1D was a bit older than me so my grade had Mindless Behaviour (does anyone remember them, where they even popular) but I remember the days where 1D was like the definition of summer songs

And I can totally understand the 'me thing'. Like I never really spoke about it but I felt like I knew my daydreams were more substantial or vivid than the 'average person' so to say.

Or when I spoke about characters to other people, I understood that neurotypicals likes characters, but they often didn't see them as fully formed 'persons' in the way I do - as to say, they didn't speculate or see emotional backstory, connections, or their behavior the way I did.

I never really shared any of my daydreams because like - I can't even get into it that's like asking someone to explain Star Wars to someone who doesn't even know space travel exists.

I grew up in a time on the internet where self-inserts and OC were seen as cringe, and someone would be very quick to call out 'Mary-Sue's (or flawless OCs) whenever they could.

It's not like that now - but in juxtaposition to canon x canon shipping, that bias is still there I feel like. Like it, as a work of fandom art has less 'value' that art or fics of canon only characters

It kinda bums me out still.

I think OC and daydreams and self-indulgent inserts are all the best part of fandom because it's the purest way of fans connecting with content on a personal level.

I'm happy that I see more people pushing back on that lately. Like after years of seeing people viciously hate furries when most of them seem like very nice, fun people, it's refreshing for people to be like 'nah, actually this thing is cool. and im gonna spend of time and/or money on this thing cause i makes me happy;

like you remember when the new Star Wars movie trailers came out and that dude reacted to it and he was moved to tears and people made fun of him??

yeah fuck everyone else that dude knows whats up.

Like yes, openly cry to your faves. Fantasize deep meaningful daydreams that help you process your feelings. Draw your OC with them, or learn every single thing their is to know about them.

That's why I wanted to talk about this. Because I've never heard it spoken about before. Maladaptive daydreaming, yes - and that can be harmful. But I hardly ever hear people talk about the basic mundane experience of it - or even how it can enrich our lives and help us emotionally develop of neurodivergent people.

When I think of it that way, it's something that makes me happy. I don't think I'll ever be able to describe it fully, and that's the point. Our stories are private to us, not because theyre embarrassing, but because they're so us that to even describe it would like describing a new world top to bottom

I love it. It's what makes humans humans.

#Thank you for this!!! Reading this is like living on planet Earth for once like yess!!! You get it!!#neurodivergency #neurodivergent #actuallyautistic #actuallyaudhd #actuallyadhd #adhd #autism #audhd #character fixations #hyperfixations #cringe culture

hey!! I'm obsessed w your writing about butch bea -- it's been super life-giving and I feel so seen when I read it :) lol it's gotten to the point where I am BEGGING my gf to watch warrior nun for the sake of being able to read the butch bea universe... anyways. it's incredible. show-stopping. legendary.

I did have a question, though -- what kind of music do you think bea listens to? to me (read: I'm projecting lol) she'd love "take the sadness out of saturday night" by bleachers, "in defense of my own happiness" by joy oladokun, and boygenius (both the first ep & all three of their solo work). and of course ava loves to sing "solid" by muna to bea.

anyways, again, I LOVE this universe & am very grateful that you've spent so much time & energy fleshing it out :) have a great day!

well i have none of these songs as ones bea would listen to but that’s cool! do whatever u want!! i have no agenda w music ppl fuck w so do ur thing lol

maybe bc i’m in LA, but i think she’s p vibey. lots of frank ocean, moses sumney, blood orange. especially blond & negro swan as like fundamental albums for her. bea is also fun!! i think she loves like alicia keys & tlc, really good classic r&b, & subsequently like solange. also i obviously love arooj aftab but i do stand by like. the supreme holiness in her music so i think bea would rly love it. it’s like profoundly undeniable. in that vein, sufjan stevens & leonard cohen as well. i think bea would also rly love like… karen o, silversun pickups, paramore kinda vibes too when she’s Feeling It. & god help anyone who ever plays a love supreme for her

mm for me ava is a pop girly!! which is my favorite!! i literally mean this w like i think pop is the most supreme genre of all time ever, so like… carly rae! charli xcx! caroline polacheck! she is here to feel! she is here to have fun! she is here to be sexy! she is here to be sad! she is here to be in love! the intelligence & excess of pop & its like silly yet obsessive nature,,, how could ava not fall in love. how could anyone not fall in love. pop forever. + the entirety of the insecure soundtrack (which bea probably has half of on vinyl) — best show of all time re:music. (somewhere in there there’s them watching insecure as an ode to LA but i digress lol). i do think ava also probably loves anything justin vernon does (hymn alternatives, the poet of our generation — a word about gnosis, it ain’t gonna buy the groceries), & also she loves contemporary classical.

both of them are absolutely feral abt florence + the machine, all of her discography but i think her latest album maybe more than anything

#i won’t talk about lorde but i could write a whole fic abt them listening #to each lorde album #lmao

hall of fame // i agree, it's such a good intro to the album with it's message // yeah the bass is so COOL AND OMGOMG YOUR SCI-FI COMMENT RIGHTTTTTTT RIGHHHHHHHHHTTTTTT i thought i was a weirdo for comenting on the alien-esque sounds (thats what i called that recurring riff in the background AHHA)

s-class// your comment about it showing a bit of everything? so true.

item // yes @ having changbin and lix do the 'item' lines // omg i didnt mention this in my post but i love the vocal pre-chorus thing // oh!! you mentioned the mix of happy and aggressive and it reminds me of one of my first thoughts on the song: okay hear me out idk how to explain this but i feel like if anyone can get me its you HAHAHA so this song gives me like. hacker vibes. BUT LIKE but like the happy go-lucky hacker that acts kinda childish and takes risks and is really. tricksy. like they hack in a way that annoys people and they leave little messages on their targets screen or smth idk man HAHA but like on this relisten of the song and ur mention of the aggressiveness, i'm seeing less of an individual and more of a group? like, a.. rebel kinda group but not rebel. i forgot the word. but like you have ur happy go lucky hacker, you have ur aggressive gunsmen or weaponsmaster and your sniper and the cool leader that always smirks (like think kuroo tetsurou but the Cool part of him not the annoying or dorky part HAHAHAHAH i miss him <//3) and like this song gives me a SUPER specific vibe that i want to write as a fic ARGH

super bowl // yeah i love the chanting/group lines !! it kind of really fits the vibe of this song? cant explain it properly. but haha i applaud u for loving the whispers w headphones; im gently cringeing JNVDJSKNVJDSK HAAHAHA

topline // this song would be so funny at concerts bc everyone will say fuck and then chan will have another meltdown // YES the transition to jisung's verse from tiger jk's is so uGH AND THEN TO HYUNJIN THAT WAS SO SMOOOOOTH // yes this is such a concert song i just hope its one of the songs where they can run around the stage freely bc for the final chorus i can see them hyping up the crowd w them and it would be so fun

get lit // YES THE LIL TRILL THING AFTER 'dance like crazy' right theyre so fun theyre so nice they're so--- wait i though i was typing in caps this whole time (i was reading ur comments while typing and just looked over LMAO) im having so much fun w that part on the piano. its stressing me a little but in a really good way like its so fun // really interesting (that sounds really rude/like online forced politeness and i dont mean it that way okay ily i mean genuinely interesting) how ur seeing this as such a happy cute song and in my thing i was like 'god this song is so bittersweet and sad' HAHAHAHA like YES it does have a lot of happy fun vibes to it (i called it a 'tropical' vibe LOL) but smth is also like. hm. // by little vocals at the end, did you mean the lalalalas? bc yeah same hehe

get lit // ur comment about the bass FJDKD UR RIGHT but im sorry idk why im laughing ur comment just made me laugh // yeah that verse really is harsh, i didn;t notice before // YEAHH THE CHORUS SYNTHHHHHH it kinda gives me like. i can see a girl group going nuts to this but in a really good way idk how to explain it haha // WAIT THATS HYUNJIN W THE SLURRED LINES????? // yes the little sound at the end hehehe

collision // RIGHT RIGHT THE TRUMPETSSSSSS // dont mind quickly editting my post to include collision as one of my favs. i forgot 💀 // i see you are having a lot of verse 2 > 1 moments hehe // yeah the phone ringing !!!!! its so cool i HBVJDSBVHJSVHSJ

fnf // yeah felix vocals :(((((((( love sm and then followed by hyunjin too i ahhbvdsjbvhsjbvhs // oh i only just paid attention to the lyrics bc of ur comment and now im feelin a lil sad HAHA // oh omg hyes it does give tmt vibes // ohoho??? gotta find out what chan said about 'catching up'

youtiful // smth about channo opening it feels so comforting, right? like, the whole song is comforting and feels like sitting on a rooftop swaddled in blankets with them (all of them, one of them, some of them) but opening it w chan specifically was the cherry on top. // omg yeah the disney vibes >>> // (re: one of ur comments) that was the saddest 'woohoo love that for me' ive read in my life

and i'll stop here. sorry again if this was such a long response ahhh heehfhshjs but it was really fun to make my own comments and then listen to the album again and read ur comments.

#decembermoonskz #kat answers #sorry it took me like almost a whole week to get around to this 😭😭

Ranking my favorite 2023 K-pop comebacks

I feel like 2023 was a year where I followed kpop comebacks especially diligently bc of my newfound interest in dance, and since it's 2024 this means an entire year has passed now of This

here's a list of my 10 personal favorite title tracks this year, happy new year all!

The Top Ten

1. Monsta X - "Beautiful Liar"

listen. when I said

in january of last year I meant it with my whole ass and I stand by it an entire earth year later. this song fucks So hard

firstable Yes I'm sad this is their last cb with most of the group in a while but also jesus what a banger to go out on

I love the guitars, the looks everyone is serving, the funky little twist in the song structure after the second verse, plus thinking always about lovemelovemelovemetellmetellmetellme + the chains + kihyun with a literal goddamn whip + the gunshot sound effects punctuating joohoney's verse. chefs kiss

2. Taemin - "Guilty"

god taemin is back and you can just feel the catholicity through the screen. the haunting vocals. the delicious string textures throughout (the way the arpeggios shift to pizzicato for the second verse!). the 6/4 time (the only choreo I learned this year that was not to an 8 count). the fucking through the shirt grab. the bridge which they extended in the MV specifically to squeeze in Even More Yearning™.

this is a perfect cb and I will say the rest of the album is also flawless and my favorite out of this list. honestly this probably would have been first if not for the fact that I personally just liked beautiful liar so goddamn much. thank you taemin. no notes.

3. SHINee - "HARD"

aka the song I previously described as "2 baddies, but Good" (no really, they have same key signature & near identical song structure. listen to them side by side with HARD on .95 speed if you don't believe me)

anyway, like 2 baddies this is SM-flavored af but I love the old school hip-hop vibes in HARD soooo much. I've had some people tell me they found it weird and off-putting but to me it's effortlessly cool but also earnest and just. fun? (not only the music but also the visuals? hello? the fashions in this MV) def gotta be one of my most played this year

4. Lee Gi Kwang - "Predator"

ok now for a dark horse pick. I feel like in the borderline 5th gen landscape nowadays older groups are often forgotten (even though hello! 2nd gen bgs are back from the military now and are having a Moment) so people perhaps understandably overlooked this one but god this song is a bop.

is it just criminal by taemin part 2 but less sexy and with a lower budget? yes. but the song is an absolute bop and the choreo slaps in its own right so imo it's a very worthy homage especially given it captures its exact gender of "pathetic sadboy making horny mistakes and needing to dance abt it" so so perfectly,

5. Exo - "Cream Soda"

tbh not what I was expecting from an exo comeback and I was surprised that I ended up liking this so much given I didn't really care for the prerelease tracks, but the more I listened the more this grew on me?

ofc it's an exo track so the vocals are 100 emoji but the chorus and melodies are simply addictive and the choreo for this one is also just a ton of fun (the sexy little head swipe,)

also I love the outfits in this MV (everyone keeps saying this is the Weed aesthetic but honestly? with korea's whole Thing? this is exo's macklemore-style thrift shopping and/or raiding grandma's attic for hidden midcentury treasures phase. to me.) but thank u @ the universe specifically for giving us back silver haired baekhyun. bless.

6. VIXX - "Amnesia"

another underrated release tbh! this initially gave me guilty vibes w/ the abundant use of pizzes since they were released around the same time but I also just independently love this song

I feel like it's a very mature song that takes itself seriously but not in an overly self-absorbed or cheesy way (another comparison I might make is to leo's losing game from last year), the chorus is poignant and hits hard because it's so earnest—maybe especially so since they were down to 3 with this cb—but man that melody is just so gorgeous, like it haunts me

7. Dreamcatcher - "Bon Voyage"

ok if I'm gonna be real it wasn't a great year for my faves—while I liked OOTD and reason they weren't top 10 worthy for me, mx had 1 excellent release before having most of its members yoinked by the military, and I didn't love either of oneus's cbs this year

that being said! I did still like bon voyage! while I preferred the first 2 in the trilogy it still felt like a good and fitting finale, bittersweet and full of equal parts regret and hope

in many ways it feels like a harkening back to classic dreamcatcher with the Big Anime Opening Vibes™ but more somber and grown up, an unexpected summer anthem from these queens,

8. TXT - "Sugar Rush Ride"

it's been a busy year for txt and while I'm not super familiar with them and their releases are sometimes a bit hit or miss for me, when they do hit they HIT

I actually considered chasing that feeling for this list too but despite adoring the take on me-ness of it I ended up nixing it after adjusting for recency bias

sugar rush ride though, I feel is a bop that stood the test of time with its catchiness and surprisingly dark undertones, and is also one of my favorite choreos I learned this year by far like. come on. it's the epitome of Boy Group Hot.

9. Taeyang - "Vibe"

this song lived rent-free in my head for MONTHS, god it's so catchy

I actually missed when my local studio taught this song but I liked the choreo so much I learned it on my own which, predictably since it literally features 2 main dancers, was not easy but extremely worth it bc just like the song itself it's just really fun

other than that what can I say. the MV is nothing special but otherwise it's just a really solid song with Big feel good energy.

10. Kiss of Life - "Shhh"

ok,,,,,,,I don't really follow rookie groups that closely bc generally I don't feel like I'm the target audience but. out of this year's new groups I did especially like kiss of life's debut!

the MV doesn't do much for me tbh but musically it sounds uncharacteristically mature to me, in a good way—it has a subtle confidence about it that I like plus excellent vocals, and is (possibly hot take?) what I was hoping to get from newjeans this year as a continuation of their debut last year tbh

Honorable Mentions

Jungkook - "Standing Next to You"

this one just felt like cheating bc it's technically an English single and there's probably some recency bias here but I can't not mention it bc I simply love this track. I'm not even a BTS stan but it's just a jam with great vocals and instrumentals (the big band notes and MJ influence! please!) and the choreo is also SO ridiculously fun, both the chorus and the dance break

BTOB - "Wind and Wish"

this is just a wholesome song that makes you feel good, like is it a lil bit cheesy? yeah, but it's also Good Vibes Comma the Song, wearing its entire heart on its sleeve in the most endearing way. it's nostalgic and mellow and full of love for its friends and a zest for life

also special shoutout to the bridge, which in such an otherwise lowkey song did not have to go that hard and yet it Did?? that harmony gives me chills, 100% certified vocal kings would cry again

Shownu X Hyungwon - "Love Me a Little"

this is a pathetic meow meow song in the best possible way and was sadly beat out by the other slightly better pathetic meow meow songs on this list (guilty, predator, amnesia) bc it was just a really good year for them but I still think it deserves a mention bc first of all yea boi @ my mans shownu being free from the military but also the instrumental/dance break at the end is dark as hell and also SO fucking tasty

Infinite - "New Emotions"

another 2nd gen group that quietly had a renaissance this year! this song is simply a bop and while the song itself is not as memorable as some in the top 10 the choreo is actually really fun

also myungsoo looks really ridiculously fine as center in the first chorus and that's the last thing I have to say about this song,

Key - "Killer"

honestly I really liked both of key's cbs this year but I feel like killer was slept on somewhat, it's got a hint of sadboi but it's tempered by the upbeat 80s pop style, plus the grungy mullet and beret outfit from the MV was a fucking Look and a Half

And my favorites per month

January: Monsta X - "Beautiful Liar"

February: Purple Kiss - "Sweet Juice"

March: Onew - "O (Circle)"

April: Lee Gi Kwang - "Predator"

May: Dreamcatcher - "Bon Voyage"

June: SHINee - "HARD"

July: Exo - "Cream Soda"

August: MAMAMOO+ - "dangdang"

September: Key - "Good & Great"

October: Taemin - "Guilty"

November: VIXX - "Amnesia"

December: TVXQ - "Down"

ranking all 12 boys planet episodes

disclaimers:

i didn't go back and rewatch all the episodes bc i don't have time for that but i did look at some of the youtube clips and the live + post-episode discussion threads on r/boysplanet to refresh my memory

the overall score is mainly based on how fun/boring the episode was and how much evil-editing was involved

i may or may not have been a bit too harsh with the scoring idk

12. episode 1 (2/10)

pros:

everyone looked so happy here (minus jiwoong who just wanted to sleep), back when they didn't have their hopes and dreams crushed

i enjoyed the brief snippets of the trainees fighting for the p01 seat, wish we could've seen more of that

funny moments:

when hui sang for the p01 seat "battle" and jihoo immediately gave up lol

cons:

i'm sorry but i've always found when the mentors talk to be extremely boring and they talk soooo much in this episode 😭 literal snoozefest

speaking of the mentors, i also don't like it when they laughed at the "bad" performances, like i'm probably just being sensitive but i always felt bad for them 😭

i don't like how much they also keep talking about the k vs g group thing like wdym you guys are besties (also it was just boring)

they also talk a lot about the trainees' dreams and how they've trained for so long and while i think that's sweet i also think it's kinda boring

11. episode 4 (2.5/10)

pros:

most of the training segments for this episode were just boring and sad but the two teams that didn't fail me were both hot sauce teams, like it was just good vibes and not really a lot of conflict

speaking of hot sauce, this was the first episode where we got good screentime and storyline for ollie and phanbin like yessss we love to see it

also some parts from the training segments that i did actually like were when yugeng and yang jun made up and when yedam gave up the killing part to shanbin, idk i thought those were pretty sweet and selfless moments and the mentors didn't show up so

cons:

the training segments were boring and sad and i snoozed through them

also daeul got evil-edited really badly and krystian got evil-edited even more which weren't fun to watch

10. episode 7 (2.5/10)

pros:

some more of my favorite performances in this episode, namely tomboy and limousine, which are S-tier and A-tier respectively. boy do i love the dual position battle performances

while i once again found some of the training segments to be boring i did enjoy nslocb and limosine teams since they didn't really have a lot of conflict and it was just good vibes

funny moments:

the rush hour conflict was not fun but i will say i laughed so hard when ricky and seongmin side-eyed the camera 💀

i know this was supposed to be a serious moment but the haobin massage scene made me laugh so hard 😭 it just felt so intimate and sudden that all i can do is just laugh. also the live chat comments were killing me

cons:

more evil edits yayyyy /s. this time we have the continuation of jingxiang's evil edit from episode 6 plus shuaibo which weren't very slay

once again, some of the training segments were really boring. i'm gonna specifically complain about butterfly bc they set up a whole storyline for junseo only for him to still get last? like girl what was the point of that other than making him look bad

9. episode 2 (3/10)

pros:

i like the part when they react to the first episode together it's fun and i do love seeing them laugh and compliment each other

some cool performances in this episode (nunu nana, the real, shut down), i actually liked these more than the episode 1 performances. the real is S-tier while nunu nana and shut down are A-tier for me

the training segments for the signal song test were a mixed bag between boring and not boring but i did enjoy seunghwan helping daeul and phanbin helping hui, i thought those were sweet. i think i enjoyed those moments bc they were wholesome and the mentors weren't talking LOL

the part where they call their parents made me cry but it's such a touching moment and idk it warmed my heart <3

funny moments:

woongki dancing to my bag in the middle of the night

cons:

same problem as the first episode, i found the mentor comments to be super boring and i sleep through them like how jiwoong slept throughout the entire song level test

some of the training segments were also boring and also just made me sad, especially when the trainees get scolded. also there's too many mentor comments zzzzzz

most of the signal song tests were pretty boring to watch and were honestly a drag. i think it's a combination of i don't like seeing the "bad/mid" performances plus the mentor's comments are boring

8. episode 3 (3.5/10)

pros:

i liked their dorm room shenanigans those were cute

i actually did like seeing the good signal song performances mainly bc they went by quickly and the mentors didn't speak much LOL

idk why but i find the part where the trainees pick their teammates for the k vs g group battle to be so fun, i liked the intensity of finding out the top 10 and waiting to see who the trainees will pick and what song they'll pick and stuff like that

funny moments:

anthonny's eye roll when it was revealed that the next mission is k vs g group again like bro same

when they were about to pick teams and haruto's like "GUYS don't forget about me remember when we ate together??" and then him running towards honghai's team in mach speed like 🫶🏃🏻‍♂️ when he got picked

when g-group burn it up team was trying to figure out who has the best abs and they weren't impressed by yutaka's skdlfjs

the arm wresting competition was so fun to watch, g-group needs to drink more milk or smth idk

cons:

the part where they practiced and filmed the signal song performance video was boring idk

i've noticed that this show tends to follow the exact same formula where right before a team is about to perform they like do this flashback where they show the team struggling but then it's ok all turns out fine and dandy in the end, which like makes sense ig since you gotta show the backstory and create sympathy towards the trainees but i still find it boring LOL. idk i just don't like seeing them sad and it just feels like it drags along forever to me

there's also some not-so-fun evil-editing moments in this episode, specifically with krystian and kinda jianyu which is sad

7. episode 9 (3.5/10)

pros:

i did enjoy the part where the switch and supercharger teams had to recruit other trainees into their team like idk i thought how they tried to convince them was fun to watch

the outdoor games they played were fun and a vibe

i also really liked the numerous eliminated trainees cameos/mentions in this episode like during that one outdoor game where they had to find their baby photos or when some of the eliminated trainees showed up to the guerrilla showcase for the trainees whose parents couldn't make it or when some of the eliminated trainees showed up to the artist battle live performances to support their friends 🥺

funny moments:

when shanbin pretended to get kicked out of smn when he just needed to use the bathroom like my guy just likes to do a little trolling

when phanbin revealed he learned the switch choreo just for funsies so he slayed getting the killing part

the en garde prank and seunghwan being an amazing actor like get that man an oscar, i'm convinced inyeon ent saw this segment and thought "we need to recruit him"

kamden twin reveal! and their awkward interaction LOL

cons:

ok i know i said i enjoyed the recruiting segments but the trainees getting kicked from over me and smn was just sad

once again the training segments were really boring, honestly probably more so than the previous missions since the mentors seemed to be more present this time around making it even more boring (idk if they actually were more present but that's just what it seemed like to me)

this episode is the second part of the smn conflict and probably the worst out of the three. people were relentless with him after this episode like mnet why do you hate matthew so much what has he ever done to you

6. episode 10 (3.5/10)

pros:

i love love LOVE the little prince musicals. as someone who loves watching musicals this is definitely one of my favorite things they've done on boys planet. the performances were all so fun and i loved seeing them rehearse and it was such a vibe. so many cute moments like gyuvin, yujin, and gunwook "fighting" over hui, hiroto and takuto pairing up together and seungeon forgetting his lines but not giving up and haobin and gyuhui slaying

this episode also has say my name aka THE superior song of 2023, this song won the artist battle, got a perfect all-kill, and won 29304823 daesangs in my heart <3

funny moments:

when they were guessing who the next star master is gonna be and phanbin guessed tbz juyeon, gyuvin guessed hwanhee, and woongki guessed ariana grande

ricky and ollie being paired up for the musical and ricky doing kabedon on ollie and them getting 0 stars for whatever reason 😭

junhyeon just making stuff as he goes during the musical

cons:

honestly this is kind of a minor gripe and doesn't actually affect my feelings towards this episode that much but i'm still salty about how mnet never released everyone's musicals 😔

more boring training segments yawnnnnn. these conflicts are getting so repetitive it's literally just the same thing: mentors check the team, mentors and dissatisfied, the trainees practice more, the mentors are happy. like bro at least show them singing/rapping more instead of just making it all about dance

FINALLY the smn conflict ends and i was pretty satisfied with the ending but i will forever be salty with mnet, like girlypop there was absolutely no need to drag that on for three whole episodes

also my bird died while i was watching this episode live so

5. episode 11 (6.5/10)

pros:

the outdoor games they played were so fun, lots of funny moments from that segment. some cute moments include phanbin's reaction to being a spy and hiroto's cute "dance battle" and "tteokbokki" aka when i lost the idgaf about hiroto war

also there weren't any training segments in this episode thank GOD

funny moments:

when over me team was doing the pulling up pants game and kuanjui just straight-up bit ricky's pants in his crotch area and over me started playing in the background 💀

leejeong doing badly at the spinning elephant game and everyone in over me team thinking he's the spy only to change their minds at the last minute for some reason?? (the fact that leejeong later revealed that he wasn't pretending to be bad and he did actually get dizzy but the editing made it seem like he was acting bad on purpose makes it funnier LOL)

matthew unintentionally getting the word right during the whisper game

the smirks gyuvin and somi gave to each other

cons:

normally i like elimination episodes but ngl this elimination wasn't as entertaining mainly bc there weren't a lot of trainees left. i was gagged by hui and gyuvin making it since i thought they were goners but that was it. also everyone just looked sad during this elimination idk maybe that's just me

everything after the eliminations (when they were picking teams and positions and choosing the killing part) was kinda boring ngl BUT i will admit i actually didn't catch the ending of this segment bc i had a critique for my art class so like maybe i'm not the best judge for that LOL

4. episode 5 (6.5/10)

pros:

as mentioned before, idk why but i really enjoy watching elimination episodes, especially after the episode is aired. idk i just like the suspense and the trainees trying to guess who will get called up and their reactions when someone's name gets called and the trainee being all shocked and everyone congratulating them and idk i think it's sweet. also i love the "hints" the star master gives they're so silly it's like playing six degrees of separation

also there's no training segments thank GOD

i love all the trainees' little intros and how they paired up based on the best mate contest those were super cute

the dance battles were all fun, idk nothing much to say here they all slayed

can i just say i was absolutely GAGGED during the hot sauce announcement like wdym all of k-group survived with some of them barely making it in. phanbin crying from happiness was so heart-warming 🥺

gunwook and hwanhee gossiping during the entire elimination was so fun

i also liked when shanbin and matthew were contenders for p01 and they talked about auditioning for boys planet together and stuff like that got me in the feels 😭

funny moments:

shuaibo doing moe moe kyun at gunpoint with junhyeon

yugeng telling yang jun all of his predictions and getting most of them wrong

the woongki vs keita dance battle was fun but the trainees' reactions are what really take the cake

cons:

ok i know i said i like elimination episodes but obviously i don't like it when my faves get eliminated and jang jiho being the only one left standing in the k-group aju nice team absolutely broke my heart 😭

also the trainees' speeches are pretty boring and they tend to get kinda repetitive pretty quickly

i was pretty disappointed when they suddenly made k-group win the dance battle competition when g-group was leading even if they did end up sharing the pizza in the end

the cultural appropriation prank was NOT it and (most of) the trainees laughing was also not it 😭

the hyunbeen prank also felt pretty mean and it felt like they were skinny-shaming him like idk maybe i'm being sensitive but yeah that was not a vibe

3. episode 12 (7/10)

pros:

i absolutely love the beginning when they introduce the top 18 through fun little films that reflect each trainee's interests and vibes and stuff like that part was so cool

the self-made concept teasers the jelly pop and hot summer teams made were so fun

i LOVE the sleepover and how they talked about first impressions like that is my absolute favorite conversation starter and everyone's just laughing and having fun and roasting each other and remiscing good memories and it's just so wholesome <3

funny moments:

the whole kamden jelly noona thing. no elaboration needed

junhyeon calling phanbin handsome but phanbin not hearing him correctly 😭

kamden asking if he has an american vibe and the other trainees just going "no"

when they tried correcting matthew's pronounciation on jiwoong's name but he still pronounces it like "jiwoon-hyung" anyway

jiwoong's "sorry what was the group name again?"

gyuvin's "sorry i forgot"

cons:

this episode is SO long like i would never rewatch this episode from beginning to end ever again ngl

on a related note, some parts of this episode dragged on for so long like the introduction and how to vote and the group name reveal and the members reveal. like i understand why since this was an actual live episode but yeah i'm not rewatching those parts again LOL

the stuff with the mentors was kinda boring, like i did enjoy the trainees making the flower headwear things and the cakes and the silly little song they sang but everything else was kind of a drag

i thought the fans' messages were really touching and stuff but for some reason i've never liked seeing other kpop fans LOL like idk it just gives me the ick (also partially the reason why i don't really like when mnet cuts to the audience's reaction during performances)

seeing phanbin cry and keita look so sad broke my heart into a million pieces 😭

2. episode 6 (7/10)

pros:

the ghost prank at the beginning of the episode was pretty funny

idk why but similar to the trainees picking their teams for the k vs g group batte, i find the trainees picking their songs and other trainees pushing them out to be so fun to watch, i love the suspense and overdramatization of it all

some of my favorite performances are from this episode, namely zoom and gang, which are S-tier and A-tier respectively

speaking of gang i enjoyed seeing their team interact the most, idk it's just good vibes and the only "conflict" that happened was trying to come up with a bunch of dance breaks but that was figured out relatively quickly

funny moments:

when gunwook pushed woongki out of tomboy and he acted all sad about it at first before strutting his way towards feel special

ricky winking at jiwoong only for him to get pushed out of love killa 💀

junhyeon yelling at shanbin to push out gunwook so that he can join ggang while gunwook is just trying to hide

jiwoong acting all silly and goofy and the birth of mattwoong

the sheer difference between woojin's timid vocals vs mingyu belting out man in love

cons:

same problem i mentioned before with the k vs g group battle, some of these training segments and the conflicts they faced were really boring

this episode planted the seed of jingxiang's evil edit before it fully bloomed in the next episode which wasn't a slay

1. episode 8 (7.5/10)

pros:

another elimination episode :D as mentioned before i enjoy eliminations and the suspense and yada yada yada

once again the intros were very fun and wholesome good stuff

i did quite enjoy watching the trainees go to their artist battle teams and their reactions every time someone joins them, like when the besties woongki and seowon ended up on the same team together or when everyone was so happy to see gunwook in en garde

planet camp tour was pretty fun, i liked seeing the trainees just vibing all around planet camp

the sports day segment was also super fun i loved it. lots of fun moments from the princesses to the chicken fight to the sudden genshin sponsorship

more gagged moments from this elimination, probably the most gagged i've been was when leejeong manifested ranking 23rd

funny moments:

the smn prank has got to be one of my favorite moments in the show. idk i just really like silly pranks like this LOL

hui practicing his why-i-should-be-leader speech in the bathroom is so funny to me like honestly mood

cons:

the training segments for the third mission were such a drag like dang why did you have to ruin a good episode like this smh (i mean granted it was less painful since the mentors didn't show up i think BUT STILL)

also some evil edits here with jingxiang (again) and ichan which were not a vibe

also this episode planted the seed to the mattbin smn conflict which lasted for an unnecessary two more episodes which was also not a vibe

this is all just my opinion no i don't take criticism thanks for reading

#hopefully this post won't make you guys question how much i actually like the show #i do like boys planet but only the fun and wholesome parts #and keeping up with the contestants #boys planet

Favorite Final Fantasy Music (FFV)

5 :)))))))

V is my second favorite FF, I care so much about this game. It brings me a lot of emotion despite being one of the goofier, less serious entries (I will stand by the fact that FFV and One Piece have similar vibes in setting and story), and the music absolutely helps. I appreciate a lot more of the non battle themes in this game than I usually do (of course since this is a top 5 list (top V list?) that doesn't really show but just take my word for it) and I will admit to tearing up at things cause it just does that to me. Love this game. Let's do it. 5. Legend of the Deep Forest Apparently this is also known as "As I Feel, You Feel"? I love how somber this is. Again, as we all know, I'm bad at words, I do not know what the main instrument is called, but I absolutely love it. I also feel like it has like, a dual meaning based on where you are in the dungeon. When you enter, it feels like a great forest where the main villain has come from, a place of evil. When it burns down, it gives you that sense of loss from an event of senseless evil.

4. To The North Mountain Why does this bang? It has no right. I just think this is a fun, adventurous song. I love all the instruments in it, the guitar, the horn, the... banjo? the organ, it's all very fun, very unique, and very stand-out for what it is and where it plays. It sticks out to me.

3. The Decisive Battle One word. The Drums. That's two words. Whatever. This is SUCH a good Exdeath theme. Taking his main motif, and turning it into a battle with THE DRUMS (THE DRUMSSSSS), not to mention the part where it starts glitching out and getting chaotic, then going hard into the main melody again, holy shit this song is hype. It sounds super cool, it has amazing drums (I'm sorry I'll stop), and it plays multiple times so you get to hear it over and over. Not to mention, one of those times is during one of the absolute best moments in the entire game. o7

2. Battle on the Big Bridge The song. The man. The big man on the big bridge, the big song for the big man. Uematsu was absolutely cooking when he made this song, and I am so glad it continues to appear over and over again in future entries, it literally does not miss once at all. Special shoutouts to the PR, XII, XIII-2, XIV, and XV versions, and anti-shoutouts to the Theatrhythm All Star Carnival version cause it's mean and hurts my fingies. I don't even really know what to say cause like, everyone knows this song is fucking outstanding??? If you are reading this you know this song, it's hype, it's exciting, it's catchy, it's just, Amazing. 1. PIANO LESSON 1 BABYYY THIS IS THE GREATEST SONG IN ANY GAME EVER PIANO LESSON 1 ALL THE WAY

I'm sorry this joke sucks

ok the actual real #1 is...

1. Main Theme of Final Fantasy V I was struggling between picking this or Battle on the Big Bridge as the #1. But I think in this specific list when I'm trying to focus on V songs, this song just hits my emotions a little harder, and it is like, a summary of why I love FFV in general. It's lighthearted, it's fun, it feels like an adventure, however, right at the end of the song before it loops, this is the part that really makes me tear up, because it slows down, it feels emotional but in different ways depending on the context, like you're looking back happily at your journey or feeling sadness over the loss and tragedy that does happen in this game. One of my absolute favorite versions of this song is the one from DIstant Worlds IV. It works so well in an orchestrated form, feeling triumphant and happy, but again! That one part before the loop! It slows down and brings a completely different level to the emotions. Especially at the end of the song when you just have a slow trumpet solo.... then the whole orchestra comes in, and a big triumphant finale. It's a happy song that is deeper than it seems out the outside. Just like the game it's meant for.

#final fantasy #final fantasy v #textpost #jared's final fantasy music opinions #I hope it's apparent how much I love this game

I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love

Bullets, while an absolute mess, is one of my favorite MCR albums. I think it’s underrated and deserves more love, though I get why it doesn’t appeal to everyone. These are my thoughts about each song on Bullets, not including covers and other tracks they performed in that era.

Romance - Not too much to say, a simple but nice album opener, I like the old-timey vibe and how it speeds up a little in the second half

Honey - one of my favorites off Bullets and the second song to catch my eye, big fan of the lyrics and vocals in general, especially the contrast between the softer slower parts and Gee’s screaming, I also really like the layering. In terms of meaning, I think it’s about an ex-girlfriend of Mikey’s, which I heard in a radio interview from 2002 (I don’t remember which one), though I think we’re all familiar with Gee’s iconic intro. Additionally, there’s a music video based on the Japanese horror film Audition, and it’s really fucking weird

Vampires - another of my favorites from this album, I really like the build, my favorite part is probably around 4:10 when he sings “I’ll never let them hurt you”, I adore the ending (starting about 4:26), I especially like the whispers at the very end, I love how frantic and desperate the whole song is. I’m pretty sure the song is about alcoholism/people who encourage your bad habits and drag you down with them, though I don’t recall where I read/heard that. Also, fun fact, Vampires was the song that originally got Geoff Rickly from Thursday to produce Bullets: “Saavedra sent him a CD of a song called ‘Vampires Will Never Hurt You’ and it blew Rickly’s mind. ‘I called them right away and said, “This is really cool. I’ve never heard anything quite like it.” You could hear their influences, I heard some Thursday, some AFI and some other things in there but it was unique enough – and especially for a band only a month old. I was really impressed.’” (Not the Life It Seems: The True Lives of My Chemical Romance, 35-36) Also, the video -- the gothic aesthetic, the low quality camera, the bad lighting, the awkward angles, the bad early 2000s editing, Frank’s hair -- I love it all

Drowning Lessons - more great lyrics, I love the middle part (2:16-2:43), the end is great where it fades out and then comes back with a different riff and then fades out again, a very fun song, such a shame that it’s never played live

Our Lady of Sorrows - a fun, punchy song, a lot of great screaming, especially at the end, I love the riff(? guitar thingy) at 1:20, my favorite part is 1:34-1:47, also Gee’s favorite lyric (at least at one point) “Oh how wrong we were to think that immortality meant never dying”. Not sure what this one’s about other than a knife fight

Headfirst for Halos - I feel bad, but this is one of my least favorite songs from this album, I don’t even have it on my MCR playlist, still a fun rhythm and guitar part with comically dark contrasting lyrics. I’ve heard it’s based in part on Peter Pan with the references to pixie dust, thinking happy thoughts, and flying home

Skylines and Turnstiles - the song that started it all, I didn’t really like it the first time I heard it, but it really grew on me and now I love it, some of the best lyrics from Bullets, dark and beautiful and hopeful, especially given the context of 9/11, my favorite song intro from this album

Early Sunsets over Monroeville - I’m shaking and sobbing, my favorite song from Bullets and one of my favorite MCR songs overall, the first song to really catch my eye (more like grab me by the throat), beautiful and heart wrenching and amazing and so fucking sad and devastating, every time I listen to this song I either start crying or get really close, everything about this song is divine and gut-wrenching but starting at 2:12 it just destroys me completely, the lyrics, his fucking screams, the rawness, I mean “And there’s no room in this hell / There’s no room in the next / And our memories defeat us / And I’ll end this direst”, I’m never going to recover from listening to this. Also, fun fact, Gee’s performance of Early Sunsets was so powerful that “‘Afterwards, everybody just left and went outside to smoke cigarettes because they couldn’t deal with looking at him after he had sung that,’ says Rickly. ‘He had just ripped himself open in front of everybody. He’d taken it so far that it was uncomfortable for anyone who was friends with him. They hadn’t seen him as Gerard the singer, they still saw him as their buddy Gerard. It’s a little scary to see someone do what he did.’” (Not the Life It Seems: The True Lives of My Chemical Romance, 61)

This Is the Best Day Ever - like Headfirst to Halos I don’t have this on my MCR playlist, I just feel somewhat lukewarm about this song, though I really like 0:40-0:47 with the fun guitar part and rhythm of “Every hour / On the hour”, and I love the build during 1:05-1:20, it’s not as interesting melodically as most of their other songs but it does have some pretty fun variations, especially considering how short it is

Cubicles - another song that I was initially dubious of but warmed to a lot, I like the whole song but I especially like the switch at 1:56 and then how it builds through 2:54, my favorite part is at 3:11-3:28 with the cool guitar riff and the fading our vocals and the repetition of “I think I’d love to die alone”, overall a very nice song that I rarely seek out to listen to but never skip

Demolition Lovers - a brilliant album closer, another one of my favorites, probably my second favorite on Bullets which is funny considering I thought it was kind of underwhelming the first few times I heard it, everything is great from Gee’s emotional delivery to the builds throughout the first half to that break at 2:50, and then that simple quiet melody with the guitar slowly joined by the drums and then finally Gee’s voice so tenderly at 3:33, fucking beautiful, and then how it picks back up at 4:09 with that great guitar solo before Gee returns at 5:04 with so much desperation and pain, absolutely amazing song, very strong end for Bullets, and definitely the most coherent narratively

I intend to go through all of MCR’s albums and then their other work in later posts, and I’m thinking about ranking the songs in each album as well. Feel free to share your own thoughts and opinions with me.

#mcr #my chemical romance #i brought you my bullets you brought me your love #honey this mirror isn't big enough for the two of us #vampires will never hurt you #drowning lessons #our lady of sorrows #headfirst for halos #skylines and turnstiles #early sunsets over monroeville #this is the best day ever #cubicles #demolition lovers #album review

My personal/deep analysis on Harry’s House:

Music for sushi restaurant: This lyrics screams Japan to me lol!! Just a little happy song. I literally don’t know what to say about this song because it just screams domesticity to me.

Late Night Talking: Lyrics parallel-“Staying out 'til sunrise, Share a single bed and tell each other what we dream about”. Another Love Song. I guess when they were in their early age of One Direction, they really did question where they were going and hence the late night talking. “And when I'm down I need somebody to talk to” - “If you’re feeling down, I just wanna make you happier baby”. These lyric parallels had me.

Grape Juice: This song feels like what they did in their lockdown period. Just sitting and thinking about all the memories and places they have been together. Bringing flowers is such a romantic gesture for me and harry is a sucker for romance. 1982 screams LARRY. The outro beats for this song are lit. Makes me hooked up.

Daylight: New York, antidote, blue bird, I’d fly to you. So many references to HS1, Fine Line and IICF. Gives me the vibes when they’re two weeks rule away, that’s how Harry feels towards louis missing him, if he was spoon, he would stick to him like honey. Reading horoscope.

Little Freak: Too many kitchen references in this whole album. “Stay green a little while, You bring blue lights to dreams”-he literally wrote their eye colours back to back. His penmanship is offensive. Jealous Harry is verse 2 oh my god had me laughing whenever I listen to it. I always think Louis makes fun in a good way about Harry and his healthy ways and that is written so well at the end of verse 2. Just had me thinking about Louis all the time when Harry is the one singing.

Matilda: This is a sad song and both rock and acoustic guitar are blended so well together. I feel this feels to me like when all the 5 boys were moved out of home early age and were global superstar, and there are things and time where the family celebrates good news and one of the boys are not home and vice versa. It’s like you can’t always have everything, you need to let go of somethings that are just out of your hand. This is really a deep song with deep lyrics and have deep meaning.

Cinema: Remember when Harry said “Louis is great to just sit and watch”. I think cinema song that way. Like the link is when we have a comfort movie and we want to watch it again and again irrespective of the mood, I can relate the same to cinema. In this song cinema turns out to be a comfort person whom he can rely on. A pining song where he just wonders if he’s cool.

Daydream: A love song which is a bop. In She, there’s a lyrics “She lives in daydreams with me” which i can think is a spin off for this.

Keep Driving: The verse 1 and 2 just seems like mundane things they do together daily. The chorus seems like the problems/fights in their life that they overcame together. The bridge screams their time in One Direction. This is one of the favourite songs. Love how Harry just took random daily used words and make them into a song.

Satellite: Gonna give you all the space and time in the world for you, but i’ll stay here for you to just come to me me and talk away. These are the vibes I get from the song.

Boyfriends: I liked the coachella version especially the acapella part. This could be spin-off of half the world away. He could be reflecting the lyrics on him

Love of my life: A perfect song to end the album. The beats and production are so elite. The beautiful penmanship of their life together is so elite. The outro beats are same used in trailer of HS3 and that’s what stands out for me.

currently working on a playlist that has most of the modern songs u mentioned e covering, and i was thinking about what i would want him to cover so for ur consideration:

i found - amber run (and i'll use you as a warning sign that if you talk enough sense, then you'll lose your mind— oh, and i found love where it wasn't supposed to be right in front of me, talk some sense to me— and i'll use you as a makeshift gauge of how much to give and how much to take)

tattooed tears (lord, i should know; i have felt lost for so long) and lonely eyes - the front bottoms (they tell me that you're lonely it's no surprise, when you walk around all day wearing those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely eyes— "it's okay if you're unhappy" i would say before i leave her just take a look around there's no one here that's happy either i can literally hear him speaking this lyric lol (i think he would sing these like softer and melodic))

golden hour - kacey musgraves (keep me in your glow cause i'm having such a good time— you make the world look beautiful, ooh i thought i'd seen it all before but looking through your eyes it looks like paradise him singing this would sound like kacey singing cant help falling in love to me)

cecily smith - will connolly (this sounds slightly insane ik but idk i just think it fits)

big bad wolf - naethan apollo (this song is very poppy and slightly rap so in general this sounds crazy but in my head i can hear him singing it like he sang long tall sally or mean woman blues)

therese - maya hawke (i can hear him singing this with more of a ballad vibe idk, this song is just also really soft and one of my favorites so)

bigger than the whole sky and soon you'll get better - ts (i think about e everytime i listen to bttws so (you were bigger than the whole sky, you were more than just a short time— i'm never gonna meet, what could've been, would've been what should've been you) but i can hear him singing like a gospely version of both of these)

ghost of you - caro emerald (this song is appropriately sad so i can hear him singing a soft ballad version)

runaway - aurora (i saw a piece of heaven waitin' in patience for me— but no, take me home, take me home where I belong)

- same anon that asked u the question originally btw

anon darling, this is extremely cool!!!! i know a few of these, but not all of them, so i'm excited to give the rest a listen! BTTWS *AND* SYGB YOU WANT MY HEART TO BREAK?! 😭 no actually those are such beautiful choices, i would never have even thought of bttws and now i won't be able to think of anything else. sygb takes on a whole new significance for him as well (the holy orange bottles lyric...). i can absolutely hear him making those more gospel inspired. the front bottoms songs and golden hour are so perfect. i'm happy you mentioned softer melodic songs, there were some artists i didn't include because i wasn't sure if their music would make sense on the list, but you get it. plus imagining him doing more fun and bluesy ones, he had such a great time with those types of song. ("this sounds slightly insane," not in my world, not in the world i'm living in. we're insane together <3) i love these lyrics you chose too.

the very last song: "I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall /and I was runnin' far away/Would I run off the world someday?/But no, take me home/Take me home where I belong" makes me think of that line in the movie, he was runnin' from the day he was born...i'll be comin' home, wait for me...💙💙💙

#these are so good ❤#anonymous #letterbox #i was a dreamer #music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent

i can't believe i haven't asked for your in depth thoughts on the car yet but i am asking it now! has the top 5 changed?

so i just checked and my top 5 was mirrorball, big ideas, hello you, sculptures and mr schwartz and tbh i don't think it did. i'm not sure about mr schwartz, i think it might be switched for the car or jet skis on the moat, but yeah. some thoughts on each track individually:

there'd better be a mirrorball: instant classic, come on now! gorgeous production, THE STRINGS!!, smooth vocals, so hazy, beautiful and atmospheric. i cried to it more times than i am willing to admit, it really is a tearjerker. i've seen some people say that lyrics are the weakest part of the album, which i obviously disagree with, but especially on this one. it's pretty simple, but still effective and touching. "i'd throw the rose tint back on the exploded view darling, if i were you" always gets me.

i ain't quite where i think i am: FUN!! the weakest one on the album, but i genuinely love it. WAAAAAAH!! i am a she looks like fun enjoyer as well, so i guess i just like having fun idk?

sculptures of anything goes: no words to adequately explain the sheer grip this one has on me. everything i wanted and more. so dark, ominous, rich and textured, we love her!! and the title's very cool, too. it is a career highlight idc what y'all say!! 5 years from now we're gonna treat it with the same respect and love we treat crying lightning, four out of five and other pretties. love. alex turner work on a portishead inspired album challenge

jet skis on the moat: didn't grab me on the first listen, but it's actually very cute! gives me western vibes, one of the songs that reminds me of TBHC the most, for some reason. love the way he delivers "or are you just happy to sit there and watch while the paint job dries?". "you know that it's alright if you're wanna cry" thank you alex, but i have been bawling since the first track so <3

body paint: still sad it didn't live up to my very high expectations that were set up by that damn kings theatre live "leak", but i appreciate it way more in context. the piano riff is insane tho, sometimes it just randomly plays in my head throughout the day. also, really enjoy the first lyric. "for a master of deception and subterfuge you've made yourself quite the bed to LIE in" ok we get it you're very funny. also. "and i'm keeping on my costume and calling it a writing tool"? yeah he's.......... mhm

the car: ruins me the same way ultracheese does, which means i sob uncontrollably until i feel like there's no air around me at all. childhood memories always get me so hard and the strings add a sense of melancholy i can't handle. very sick of them to put it in the middle of the fucking record! anyway, it kinda reminds me of faust arp by radiohead, which is a win, because in rainbows is very good. good track!

big ideas: have i ever said that we should artists grow? let them change and flourish and explore new things? hm, idk. lyrically it's a bit too on the nose, which is not what i was expecting at all, but it's a welcome change from cryptic TBHC lyrics. sometimes i just want him to say what he thinks, you know? and we're gonna stop analysing the lyrics now, because i don't wanna get upset.

hello you: the first make me hold my breath and stop me in my tracks no matter what i'm doing (kinda like nfwmb foof and diwk do so. do with that what you will). that piano riff (? can you call it that idk i know nothing about music) is CRAZYYYY. also plays in my head throughout the day, so catchy and fun. lego napoleon moveh. vortex to vortex. the buisness they call show. 'ello gruesome. HELLOOOO YOU. might be my favourite from the record if i'm being completely honest. sorry, i love a good instrumental, what can i say. i actually saw someone say it's pattern with no miles, which is pretty accurate!

mr. schwartz: my head hurts. again, not getting into the lyrics, but i HAVE to point out that "and if wе guess who i'm pretending to be, do we win a prize?" makes me wanna lay down for a sec. also FINGERPICKING!!

perfect sense: why is it so short. melancholic (what a surprise), but doesn't make me wanna die! it's the type of melancholy that you feel when you're watching the last episode of your favourite show. a nice farewell song that sounds sad but hopeful, a gorgeous closer. they Know how to write a good closing track for sure. love it!!

my overall review: makes me cry, but it's very good. would love to have a couple more tracks that sound like i ain't quite or hello you to dilute the ... whatever's going on in the middle that makes me sob, but i can also appreciate the fact that it's just 10 tracks. still, we want b-sides @ am. make it happen!!!!! a 9/10, already in my top 3 (which is tbhc > humbug > fwn = the car), taylor swift cant't relate

#i didn't proofread this at all so i HOPE i'm making sense #what about you?#val 💚#honey ask me i should know*

give a txt song to ur mutuals

ooooo i love these mutual games

@petrichor-han — Ghosting

The reason for this is because Ghosting, to me, if a very nostalgic sounding song that has pretty sad lyrics, but at the same time it’s soft and comfortable. I could imagine listening to this song while i laid in bed, rain beating on my window, and the only light coming from a warm scented candle.

@hyukakes — Dear Sputnik

I chose this song because it reminds me of Kai, and when I think of Kai, I think of you. You’re bright and energetic, but at the same time, it’s a different type of energy. It’s like the type of energy when you’re playing with a water hose outside with your friends, but it’s not THAT exact moment, it’s the moment when you come inside from playing, all wet and sweaty, and you grab a popsicle or some water and you mom yells at you saying “YOURE EITHER IN OR OUT STOP RUNNING BACK AND FORTH” and then you go back outside and play. Very specific lol and might not be something that everyone experienced, but that’s the energy you give off.

@muselin — New Rules

New Rules, to me, is a very smooth yet poppy and chill song?? Like not super chill but it has a very cool vibe it it lol. I felt like this fit you most bcs it’s a more lowkey song (i don’t hear ppl talk abt it as much smh) but it has a lot of power and just vibes within it. To me, you are a chill person who has a strong feminine energy, and i feel like the song embodies someone like that.

@summerrainwinterbreeze — Fairy of Shampoo

We haven’t interacted in a while, but I feel like this song fits you because you have a very comforting and calm energy about you. Now i think that the aesthetic from the song and performance maybe doesn’t fit you as much, but the song itself fits you.

@fromkamal — Everlasting Shine

This song has a dreamy yet adventurous vibe to me. I don’t know you much, but you seem like a fun and happy person? Idk but you seem very nice haha and I just felt that this song was right for you.

@tohokuu — Frost

Okay so i had to chose between Frost and Puma lol. I mostly connect you to psycho shit and blood and gore (in a good way dw). And i feel like frost, the choreography, and the performance is rlly you, y’know. There’s an unhinged vibe that comes from this song and I feel like it fits you.

@woonie-muffin — No Rules

So No Rules is very energetic and fun and I think it fits you. I don’t know you very much, but through your asks and stuff, you seem to be cool and fun but at the same time, i can see a bit of rebelliousness which fits the song.

@nb-and-nd — Force

I don’t know much about you, but for some reason, I think this song fits you 😭

@sweetiehyuka — Eternally

Now this may come as a surprise, but there is a duality to you like there is a duality in this song. You are very soft and lovely, so that’s where the first part comes in. But then i think abt that pic with the gun and how you said you will stab any customer that’s rude to me at work and i was like oh yeah this here lmao. You’re protective and caring, but you’re also soft.

If you’re my moot and I didn’t put you, it’s because I couldn’t think of one 😭 mostly bcs we don’t talk much or I don’t see your posts of reblogs so i can’t conjure anything up in my mind

YA GIRL DID IT.....I FINALLY LISTENED TO HOTEL KALIFORNIA AND YOU ALL HAVE TO SUFFER WITH MY THOUGHTS NOW!!

----

Chaos- This one absolutely FUCKS, it's so intense and so fun to scream along with!!!

World War Me- Ngl this one was kinda lame

Ruin My Life- UNLIKE THIS ABSOLUTE BEAUTY HOLY SHIT this is probably my new favorite party song from HU! It kinda feels like something you'd find on an old Just Dance game if that makes any sense??? Either way, absolute bop.

Hourglass- Oooo this one's so good, it's so so beautiful, something about it was sorta enchanting in a way??? Idk I may be absolutely crazy but it made me Feel Ways.

Go To War- TILL THE BLOOD DRIPS DOWN TO THE FLOOR!!! Goddamn I love this one, another good screamy song for sure!

Alone at the Top- STOP MAKING ME FEEL WAYS YOU HIDEOUS BEAUTIFUL SONS OF BITCHES!!! But yeah, this one is in the same vien as Hourglass where it's both gorgeous and it'll definitely probably be something I listen to when I'm feeling sad.

Wild in These Streets- honestly it's a hella rad song and I love the GTA theming, but all and all it's nothing special

Dangerous- THIS HOWEVER IS SOMETHING SPECIAL DKNSSKKDKSKSK ok so I absolutely love this one because it gives all the five sluts their time to shine and it's so cool and and AAAAA!! It's like the Undead of HK if you ask me!!

Lion Eyes- HOLY SHIT YALL WERE NOT KIDDING THIS ONE IS ABSOLUTE MAGIC, I love the spooky vibes the whole thing gives, especially with the circus-murder metaphors in the later half. VERY GOOD FUCKINH FOOD I NEED MORE HU HORROR SONGS

Trap God- Kinda the same deal at WiTS, good song but nothing to write home about

Happy When I Die- MMMMM YES YES YES this one is easily my favorite next to Lion Eyes!! The whole thing gives me like, Red Dead Redemption vibes???? That probably makes no sense but I really want a wild west-themed music video for this GUYS PLEASE-

Reclaim- D-, moving on

City of the Dead- OK THIS ONE HAD SUCH A GOOD MUSIC VIDEO HOLY SHIT-- like it's an absolute bop without it, but I FUCKING LOCE THE WEIRDCORE-SPOOKY VIBES, IT IS THE MOST ZOP ENERGY THING EVER I LOVE IT

Alright- mmmm we love some good angst in this house!! I saw someone compare this to Imagine Dragons' stuff and?? Yeah that's kinda accurate!! This one's def a goodie!!

-----

All and all this album absolutely SLAPS! There really aren't any duds here at all, even the songs I didn't like were still very well made! Everything is so different from what HU's done before but in the best way possible!! I hope they make more shit in the vein of Lion Eyes and Happy When I Die, because those were ESPECIALLY a good bridge between familiar and new!!

Godspeed you beautiful, hideous sluts.

well, i am curious about the name hades and how you decided upon it! its a very beautiful name, in my opinion

hmmm well the emoji is umm like. someone crying into their hands, i think? im pretty sure the emoji was made specifically for discord, if that helps. its like a dramatically devastated "oh no!" kind of, though it can be used in many situations. actually i have a friend who pays for my nitro (i don't ask them to, i have no idea why they do it [imagine the emoji here]) so i have so so many emojis to choose from, even an eeeeeeeeevil one bwehhewhwh

yes you do give off violent vira vibes! specifically tarantula girl and lolita, i think! also i adore god complex so so bad, i memorized all the lyrics a bit ago. it's one of my favorites. i have a somewhat good voice for singing her songs so its really nice to sing along to them. honestly id recommend basically all her songs to you, but for starters mayyyybe luka, waiting by a hospital (i dont remember if that's the exact title), and i dont care (so so so osossososoo good) which are some of my favorites. she came out with a new ep recently!!!! it's incredible, i love it so bad i wanna see her play live

yes! we do share the same timezone! its 5 now for me :D i do hope my friend shows up... ill possibly go to bed if they don't soon. its been a while since ive pulled an all nighter - i might be good at doing it but im not so good at the repercussions anymore. plus being a hypersomniac :/

im really happy to hear you had a good day! spending time with friends is wonderful! im sorry you have to go home now, though. i hope you get to see them again sometime soon

and the puppet thing! i actually don't have experience with puppetry, unfortunately. i haven't watched many puppet shows either, but the ones i have, and even the made up ones shown on tv or music videos sometimes have always intrigued me. im just too busy with my five million special interests and hyperfixation, i suppose

im glad you find me interesting! i was hoping so, you're very cool and if i came across as boring i mightve dramatically melted into a sad puddle

ummm what's your favorite color? generic question, i know. also, if you could paint one thing perfectly, what would it be? its okay if you dont have an answer!

also i think id be able to make a moodboard of the vibe you give off o.O

-🎭 (ive decided you can also call me puppet if you want :D)

starting with my alias, my middle name is actually a greek god. i loooove greek mythology so i thought the alias hades would fit with my blog theme! im very very glad you like it.

i think (??) i have a good picture of it in my head — the emoji, i mean. i could be very wrong though. alsoooo, discord nitro? very fancy if i do say so myself.

violent vira has a beautiful voice. i love how she sings. i’ll have to give those songs a listen when i get off my flight!! it’s really cool that you can sing like her!!

it’s awesome that we share the same time zone!! i’m sorry your friend hasn’t shown up though :(( all-nighters aren’t fun anymore now that i’m an adult, and neither are the repercussions. is hypersomnia where you sleep a lot? like the opposite of insomnia?

if you can recommend me some of your favorite puppet things to watch, i’d love to watch them. i actually have a few favorite puppet characters myself, though they’re from games and anime. also, i totally get the hyperfixation thing.

of course you’re interesting, dear! i don’t think i could find anyone boring. there’s so many different facets and aspects to everyone and their personality. i’m glad you think im cool though!!! that made me very happy to hear!!

hmmm, my favorite color? i’d say black but if you want to be technical, it’s not really a color, so…. blue, earthy greens, and red!! in that order actually. and if i could paint anything perfectly, i think it would be a portrait of my mom, my brother, and i. what about you?
