which LiT ships are most likely to elope in vegas: a thread i definitely did not accidentally delete from my drafts last night.

aka: what happens in vegas stays in vegas until jjolee tells you to post the thread

(imported from twitter, originally posted October 26, 2022)

ships that i think are most likely to elope in vegas with an elvis impersonator officiating the wedding: dsoo (dongho x minsoo), hyuntae (hyunjin (ven) x taeseok), and youngseok (youngjoon x minseok)

dsoo: it's predebut, they're being stupid in vegas to celebrate the fact that they finally got the news that they're going to debut EVENTUALLY, so they get married wearing matching hawaiian button ups. dongho 100% still has the emo bangs when this happens.

hyuntae: idk man. they've got the vibes. if sa1nt went on a US tour and stopped in vegas for some reason, these two are absolutely getting married and minsung is the flower girl.

youngseok: ok i'm definitely biased bc i'm currently writing a fic focused on these two but like. i don't even KNOW how to explain it. i can just very clearly picture dae finding it hilarious that his 2 best friends outside of mayhem got married. with an elvis impersonator.

they'd do it for a bet: mindae (minsoo x daehyun), junjae (jun x jaewon) (lost a bet to nari), any pairing of marshmello, kyungyoung (kyunghun x youngjoon)

mindae: do i really need to say more. anyone even jokingly bets money that they won't get vegas married and they are chomping at the bit to prove that person wrong. absolute menaces (i say this affectionately. they probably give manager choi a headache but i love them)

junjae: jun made a bet with nari and lost. the rest is history.

marshmello: girls' night out gone marriage. i literally cannot decide who would be more likely to get married on a bet?? i feel like they're sort of an unstoppable force when they're together and having a good time.

kyungyoung: they are the same age. probably besties. hyuntae 100% used to torment them about being a couple or some shit. minsung bet them 1k that they wouldn't get married and send photos to hyuntae. kyunghun is not a coward so they got vegas married.

vegas married but only bc they are ELOPING (aka i kinda sorta ship these ones. a lot): daejae (daehyun x jaewon), dongsung (dongho x minsung) (I HAD TO IM SORRY), hyuntae again (hyunjin x taeseok)

daejae: listen if they're dating they are IN LOVE. POWER COUPLE OF THE YEAR. DO NOT SEPARATE. so yeah they'd elope in vegas.

dongsung: they'd be the couple that's secretly been together for a decade or some shit they're emotionally married already they probably have rings ready to go and they have no where else to get married.

hyuntae: either they are the best of friends or they're dating idk how else they would've lasted in sa1nt for so long otherwise. they kinda seem like little gremlins but like. there's something going on between them. let them get gay eloped for funsies.

ok i posted this early on accident. whoops. meant to schedule that for later. uhm :D it's 1:35 im going to bed now :D!!!! i'll add the next section later!!

ok time for more Vegas weddings. next ship catagory.

only if they're drunk: dsoo. yeah. (dongho x minsoo), any pairing out of dae, minseok, and minyoung

dsoo is pretty self explanatory. they're besties but not enough to get Vegas married just on a whim. they are drunk if it happens.

i think the trio is also pretty self explanatory? they're friends again but like. not enough to get married for fun. daeseok would be the flower boys at minyoung's wedding tho

they're best friends your honor: jahra (jaewon x ahra), hyuntae (hyunjin x taeseok), youngdae (youngjoon x daehyun)

jahra: listen. they're besties. they'd do it for fun and bc their moms would think it's cute

hyuntae: . this is the third time I'm mentioning them i think they're just cannonically married at this point

youngdae: HAVE YOU SEEN YOUNGJOONS PIN BOARD THEY ARE BESTIES MAYBE EVEN MORE. THEY'D GET MARRIED.

ok if there are any other ships you want me to give my ranking please let me know!!! i can't really think of any others but i am also very tired (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

TYLA - "ART"

We'll need to frame this one...

[7.44]

Alfred Soto: Ari Lennox and Victoria Monét have recorded similarly tasteful conceits in recent months, and if "ART" sounds as if Tyla hasn't thought out her conceit — she's a work of art painted by her lover, or is she painted on by a lover, and either way, is that cool? — she sounds as convincing. The rattling percussion creates a mild erotic simmer that warms up come-ons like "fresh out the gallery/can you handle me?" [8]

Kat Stevens: Is Tyla exploring art as an emotional outlet, a conduit for shared meaning in our humanity? The evidence for that is lacking here, while the clinical, understated tones of the Cassie-does-amapiano backing point towards formalism and modernism over expressionism or romanticism. Yet Tyla does not push the boundaries of a constrained medium, nor does she delve deep into the layers of societal collapse that surrounds us. Instead, the lyrics lean into audience-focused consumption: Tyla is merely art to be displayed, a pretty Rococo portrait to impress the neighbours. Reclaiming capitalist objectification might be the ultimate goal of 21st century art but it leaves an unsatsifying aftertaste to this feminist. Luckily for Tyla, Aristotolian mimetics tells us that true art is about making populist bangers, and "ART" does indeed bang. [6]

Mark Sinker: A joke I like from old TV sketches is when the gorgeous model eagerly skips across the room to look at the canvas and discovers the painter is some rigorous modernist and it’s all yellow and black zigzags or whatever. De Stijl me like one of your Dutch girls. Tyla is very caught up in her notion here, and this song does not skip across the room. It sounds beguiling enough, but it discovers nothing. [6]

Katherine St. Asaph: One Cool Trick to Troll the Artists in Your Life! [6]

Nortey Dowuona: Tyla has such an arresting soprano that whatever kind of loose, wispy chords and heavy bass log drums you place before her, she can ride them, gently sculpting them to her use. Sammy SoSo, architect of "Water" (and "Me Pongo Loca" by Kali Uchis, "See Me Now" by Nasty C, "Playing Chess" by J Hus, and "Bare With Me" by Ms Banks — maybe a remix with her of this pls) leads the background vocals over light, airy synths but leaves them in the distance. Tyla leans on them for support, making her a stronger presence. Tyla you will always be loved but not famous cuz that is dangerousss. [10]

Ian Mathers: In retrospect I gave "Water" something I'll call "the gentleman's [8]," here meaning "if I'd first heard the song maybe a week earlier it would have been a [10], easy." "ART" only confirms that hindsight, because this is a very solid [8] and I feel a bit silly giving both songs the same score. Such is the agony and the ecstasy of the Singles Jukebox. [8]

TA Inskeep: A fresh-sounding blend of amapiano and smooth R&B that's subtly hip-shaking but also pretty damned sexy (though not as much so as "Water," which I wish I'd blurbed, an easy [9] for me). Pray that Tyla sticks with this groove and doesn't get sucked into the UK dance music machine, because this is where she belongs. [7]

Joshua Minsoo Kim: Doesn't go down as easy as "Water," largely because the lyrics and delivery are clunky. But there's an appeal to that, how in Tyla's desire to entice, she sounds most at ease when going back to basics: "I'll be your A-R-T" is, yes, an evocative message as simple as A-B-C. [8]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: An interesting exercise in expectations: if I encountered this in the wider world, shorn from the context of being a single off of an immensely hyped-up album from an artist who made one of this site's favorite songs of last year, would I still love it? Part of me wants to say no – the things that truly endear "ART" to me, like the way Tyla's voice intersects with the backing vocals or the soothing hum of the organ as it mixes in with the kick drum, are features that only reveal themselves with slightly closer inspection. But "ART" has enough in the way of immediate appeal to draw you in even if you've never heard "Water," the depth of Tyla's hooks pulling at me from even a moment's listen. [8]

My Saints Row fancasts

(So far I’ve only made videos of Victoria, Johnny, Shaundi, and Pierce. I’ll get to the other characters when the inspiration hits)

Kat Graham as my Boss Victoria “Tori” Queens (some people I know say I look a bit like Kat, so I went with her as Victoria)

C.A.P/Bang Minsoo as Johnny Gat (he doesn’t have a lot of material to work with, so I’ll most likely change fancasts after I make a Johnny x Aisha video)

Jade Tailor as Shaundi

Stephan James as Pierce Washington

Jane Levy as Kenzie Kensington

Shay Mitchell as Viola DeWynter and Olivia Munn as Kiki DeWynter

David Banner as Benjamin King (ever since I was little, I always thought SR1 Ben looked a lot like David Banner)

Jon Ecker as Troy Bradshaw (credit to @eulerami-art for this god tier idea)

Keke Palmer as Aisha

Meng Jia as Lin and Jude Demorest as Tanya Winters (I had to combine their pictures cuz of the 10 picture limit lol)

Characters I want to fancast, but can’t think of who to fancast them as:

•Carlos Mendoza (I was thinking of Diego Tinoco, but I’m not sure. I kinda want someone that looks a bit younger, but if I can’t think of anyone else, I’ll stick with him)

•Matt Miller

•Asha Odekar (I thought of too many actresses to choose from omg help)

•Oleg

•Julius Little

•Dex (there are two actors I always thought he looked like when I was little, Orlando Jones and Miguel A. Núñez Jr., but they’ve aged WAAAY out of the role, so idk what to do)

•Josh Birk (idk, name any white pretty boy actor that looks 25-30 and I’ll probably go with them lol)

PARK JAEHO

age: 93 liner company: higher records position: legacy’s lead dancer/vocal traits: (+) thoughtful, creative, hardworking (-) defensive, distant, reclusive played by: rose

tw: child abandonment/absentee parent

lmao literally do not read this its too long – basically his mom didnt want him when he was born so his grandparents raised him in berlin, germany, and he first became a tattoo apprentice there. his grandparents didn’t want him to be a tattoo artist and so he went to seoul to be a member of legacy instead. because their first company sucked he kept tattooing as a trainee in korea so they could have some amount of money, now he only does tattoos for his close friends mostly and he’s just chillin and happy in legacy !

When Jaeho was growing up in Berlin, the few memories he had of his mother were all what his grandparents told him rather than being with her. Though she was mostly estranged from them by the time Jaeho was born, she called her parents and told them that she’d had a baby and didn’t want him, and they said they would raise Jaeho in Germany where they had retired.

His grandparents tried to give him a normal life in Berlin; he went to school, helped them at home, played piano, and drew often. He switched easily from speaking German at school to singing to the old Korean trot music his grandparents often played, and easily picked up a good understanding of English from the classes he took in school.

Jaeho tried to not pay too much attention to the fact that he was raised with his grandparents and either of his parents were rarely mentioned to him without his grandparents seeming upset, especially his mother. But he always overthought how his grandparents didn’t intend to raise a kid once they had already retired, they already did that with whoever his mother was and in their late sixties and early seventies had to do it all over again.

While Jaeho always excelled at the piano like his grandparents loved, he loved drawing if not more. When Jaeho was sixteen he got a tattoo apprenticeship, but when he mentioned it to his grandparents that he got the offer, they immediately voiced their disapproval. They were reluctant to agree to let Jaeho do it at first, even though they knew he was being honest when he promised he’d be able to balance his schoolwork, the apprenticeship after school, as well as still helping them around the house. But eventually they let him, hoping that they’d be able to talk him out of actually going into tattooing once he finished high school. Jaeho studied under the shop’s artists for the duration of his time in high school, and believed that after he graduated, he would become a tattoo artist like they were.

Though Jaeho’s grandparents acknowledged his skills at drawing, they thought that if he had to pursue a career in the arts, they preferred if he was in music rather than tattooing. One day, they suggested that he return to Korea to study music or maybe become an idol. Anything was better than tattooing. Jaeho was hesitant to agree, but not because they were asking him to quit his apprenticeship. Moving to Korea brought up the person that had went almost unmentioned in their household for years: his mother. He has spent his whole life so far mostly-happy by ignoring her absence, the last thing Jaeho wanted was to be reminded of her any more than he already was.

Jaeho personally doubted he was good enough at piano to be accepted into a music conservatory in Korea, but he decided to audition to possibly become an idol. He sent an audition video and was accepted to a small company called IL Studios at the age of eighteen.He wanted to go and train with them, but he also knew that he would have to quit tattooing since it was illegal in Korea and it didn’t make any sense to him how he could do tattoos and be an idol at the same time.

Had it not been for IL Studios, Jaeho probably have walked away from tattooing forever. He found that he loved Seoul and the other boys he trained with for roughly two years before debuting with them at the age of twenty, but it was impossibly not to ignore the issues with the company itself. He and the other members had almost no money. Since tattooing was the only way of making any that he was qualified for, he started working as much as he could at a tattoo shop in Seoul without telling IL Studios or, more importantly, his grandparents.

It was strange at first to work at the shop and with Legacy, but Jaeho soon became accustomed to it, as well as being nearly exhausted most days from working as much as he could. Thankfully it wasn’t very long that he needed worry about having any other income to continue without any real support from a company. As soon as they moved from IL Studios to Higher Records, Jaeho felt an almost-overwhelming sense of relief and was able to focus solely on Legacy. since then he’s only ever tattooed because he wants to do them with close friends and not because he needed the money.

While Jaeho still struggles sometimes to not feel emotionally distant from those who aren’t already his close friends, he’s incredibly more confident in who he is now than he was growing up. He loves Legacy and hasn’t had to worry about what’s going to happen to the group in years and he still tattoos sometimes in his spare time out of love for it. Though he still makes sure to keep his tattoos covered up around his grandparents so they won’t have to see them, he no longer feels like he’s hiding so much from them.
