#by recently i mean since the mv dropped

[izvmimi]

cw: fluff. pop star!bakugou. prior breakup mention. based on the story behind the eyes, nose, lips mv, iykyk.

Even if you guys are closer than can be, your friends are typically more likely to text before they call, especially at this time of night, and less likely are they to accost you in a sudden video call the way they are now. You were asleep, just by stroke of luck waking up to the sound of your phone vibrating on your end table, too exhausted to put your phone on Do Not Disturb. It’s just a few minutes after midnight, 12:06 am to be exact, and when you pick up the phone, both of them appear frantic.

“Oh, thank God.”

“___, please tell me you’re away from a phone right now.”

“Dumbass, we’re literally calling her on the phone right now.”

“Don’t call me a dumbass.”

Still rubbing your eyes, you let out a sigh.

“Why did you two call me?” You’re still horizontal, trying to orient yourself while lowering your phone brightness. It’s entirely dark in your room, and you’ve been exhausted all day between errands and other activities, including a single 25 minute cry over your failed relationship.

It’s been 3 months since you and Katsuki split, and while you’ve overall been handling it quite well, intermittently the sadness overtakes you. After all, it was abrupt.

Dating a pop star was not all it’s cracked up to be, especially when it ends abruptly over a dinner you could never afford yourself with the words “take care of yourself, okay?” from a man you’d planned the rest of your life with. The last thing you’d asked him to do before that was to go public, and he’d been hesitant to, and you don’t know what happened between then and that night, because it all ended all too quickly, with you crying on the limo ride home. 

3 months later and you were almost over it until you chanced on a photo you’d forgotten to hide away in your digital memoirs and proceeded to sob.

“So uh… have you spoken to Katshole recently?”

You roll your eyes at the nickname your friend has given him, not bothering to tell her now to be nice. “No.”

It still annoys you. “Please stop calling him that.”

“Fine.”

Your other friend sighs.

“So uh, anyway, he dropped a video.” You raise your eyebrow.

“I mean, sure. Is the girl in it hot?” you ask. You pretend you haven’t been looking at his social media intermittently, trying to see if there was someone new in his life, but either way Katsuki prided himself on keeping his private life hidden away, so you wouldn’t be able to tell unless it was someone equally famous or advantageous to his career.

Your two friends both grimace at the same time. One says, “I mean yes, but not in the way you think.”

You blink.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

You’re up and seated now, bedsheets pulled to your lap. You’ve minimized the video and are now typing his name into Google, and can see, indisputably, that he’s posted a new music video.

“Why did you guys wake me up for this?”

“Babe, listen to me carefully. If you’re not ready to get back together, do not click this video.”

Your heart thumps, while both of your friends watch you with bated breath, as your face contorts, trying to figure out what that means.

“I-”

“You’re in the video.”

You blink rapidly, your eyebrows still furrowed together, as your heart rate starts to pick up. Your mouth opens then closes.

You’re in the video.

“She’s done for,” one of your friends says, reading the look on your face, and sighs. “I’m gonna hang up, I’ll see you in the morning.”

All of you say your goodnights, and of course, you remain up, your face basking in the blue light of your cell phone, as you watch Katsuki’s urgent music video supposedly with you in it.

The video culminates in Katsuki, standing by a painted mural, and you recognize the photo, an image of your face from the first time he flew you out to paint in Italy, something that would have won any girl over just from the expense and planning, but won you over because he chose you as his model, because you can still remember how his lips parted as he mixed the right colors for your hair.

I’m sorry, please pick up my call, the video closes with the words written in his handwriting, and said with his voice, and you can feel the tears streaming down your face as you wordlessly cry.

And then your phone rings.

[jmdbjk]

Make assumptions and get the wrong idea. Please. That's what he said.

My brain listening to Who:

(on the beat of course)

Sorry for the brain porn but that's how my brain feels when I hear Jimin's vocals. The runs, the ad libs, the highs, lows, and in-betweens, the breathing, especially the breathing. Especially in the 4K version of the Tonight Show performance posted on BangtanTV.

For many years now I've been wanting to hear Jimin let 'er rip on a big song and FINALLY! FINALLY!

FINALLY!

I started to jot down my interpretations of Who but you know what? no one needs yet another analyzation of the song, the lyrics, the MV, the belt sharing, the ... but one thing I need to point out... Ryan's Vintage Clothes is definitely a nod to Ryan Gosling don't you think? (just kidding sorta)

A ton of people have given their dissertations on what they think it all means. All I know is Jimin has that MAGIC and he is FLEXING big time.

This is my favorite shot from the most recent promo image drop on Weverse. I have always dissented when Jimin would say his left side is his best side. No sir. It's your right side.

The entire Muse album is a complete mind-bender for me. He came up with the ideas and themes and what he couldn't do on his own, he explained to all the people helping him in order to create his vision...

PDogg said this in an interview: "I also believe the experience of collaborating with various producers and songwriters in LA and NY gave Jimin the opportunity to further explore his limitless potential."

Minseong Kim (Performance Director): "When we were working together, I saw Jimin putting a lot of thought into delivering the song's choreography as a visual art form. He uses his detailed expressions to convey various artistic elements in the performance beyond simply presenting stylish, energetic choreography. He is always devoted to emphasizing the artistic elements of the performance by forming a visceral connection to it. I believe that his commitment and passion has shaped Jimin's unique style and allows him to deliver one of the most exciting performances in pop music."

and:

"We had countless discussions about how to visually articulate the story and message of the song through the performance on a larger scale, in a manner that's true to the song's title Who. When the choreography was completed Jimin was utterly pleased with the performance having all the elements he had wished to incorporate."

You can read the entire VMAGAZINE article here.

Regarding the other songs on the album, in MiniMoniMusic Exchange, Jimin mentioned that Rebirth was his favorite track. I do love it too, Jimin. The heartbeat, the poignancy. Perfection.

And I have to compare Be Mine to Seven. In Jungkook's Seven, the explicit version was so very literal and so in your face it was funny, even the MV added to the unserious vibe of it all.

But in Jimin's, Be Mine, he has probably the most erotic lyric I've ever heard coming out of the mouth of a Tannie: "... a hot island, a party with just the two of us; I know what you want and baby I want the same; love ‘til the morning; we just keep fallin’... baby come, baby come; show me what, show me what love is, yeah yeah; melt me hot, hot, hot quickly"

I am streaming all the versions of all the songs and album. I absolutely love it.

Now that I got that out of my system...

It's been about a year (??!?!?) since Jungkook's Only Fans debut live stream. Time is flying.

We are anticipating gaining more context soon surrounding exactly what went down between them the prior two weeks to this live and what did Jimin mean when he said he "can handle it? (Are you sure you wanna know?)

There is a high possibility we might get some jikook carpool karaoke.

The main trailer drops Monday. Hold on to your ... whatever it is you hold on to when you get shook because I'm sure it'll be another earthquake on the timeline.

J-Hope On The Street

Jung Hoseok/Actress!Reader

Summary: Hobi convinces you to do the J-Hope on the street challenge with him... (can be read as a stand alone or as the WYF couple)

Warnings: Fluff, female reader implied.

Word Count: 779 M.list

Hobi had recently released his newest single, J-Hope On The Street, and you couldn’t be more proud! You weren’t yet around when his Hope World album was in the works, but you were there for J-Hope in the box, and you saw first hand how much of a perfectionist he is. How every little detail had to be perfect, and this was no exception.

Ever since the song and MV had dropped, he’d received a massive amount of love and support from friends and fans alike. You were no different, throwing him a surprise get together to celebrate. It was only a small party, just close friends and family so it would be more special. Since then, Hobi decided that a TikTok series focused round the choreography would be a great idea. Dancing to the song with other HYBE idols was simple yet so effective. The fans loved it and so did you, always looking forward to the new videos. That was until he came to you with one of his bright ideas.

‘Hobi you can’t be serious.’ You gaped up at him from your seated position. You were currently in one of the lounge areas of the HYBE building, after having come to visit Hobi and bring him coffee.

‘I am! ARMY will love it, and I already ok’d it with my manager!’ He was way too excited at the prospect of you potentially making a fool of yourself.

‘I’m not a dancer Hobi, I really don’t feel like becoming a laughing stock for millions of people.’ You sighed as you picked at the edge of your dress.

‘Come on jagi! It’s not like I’m asking you to perform on stage. Besides, ARMY know you aren’t a dancer and I already taught you the choreo so....’ He stuck out his bottom lip and gave you puppy dog eyes. Ugh... How could you resist that face?

‘Fine! But you owe me!’ He let out a happy yelp and threw his arms around you, planting a kiss on your temple.

‘It’s gonna be great I promise!’

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

Before you started filming, Hobi went over the choreography with you at least a hundred times, (at your request) before you felt confident enough to just go for it.

You stumbled over your own feet a few times, causing Hobi to cast you an amused glance, but overall you did well and you were proud of yourself! Plus the reaction from the fans was overwhelmingly positive too.

He’d tagged you in the video and captioned it, ‘Please be nice to Y/N and compliment her dancing! She was nervous but did so well!’

Fan1: OMG the smile he gives her!

Fan2: Her little stumble was so cute!

Fan3: Get you a man that looks at you like J-Hope looks at Y/N

Fan4: We sure she isn’t secretly a dancer?

Fan5: THAT HUG AT THE END SAGEUGEDUBWEIYFGUEWG

‘See jagi? I told you there was nothing to worry about!’ Hobi smiled as he read the comments over your shoulder.

‘Yeah, even though I messed it up.’ You chuckled to yourself when he hugged you tightly from behind, chin resting on your shoulder.

‘You’re too hard on yourself! It was great for a first time performance!’ You tried to hide your shy smile. This man was too sweet.

‘Yah! Why are you getting shy all of a sudden?’ He jabbed his fingers into your sides, causing you to gasp out in laughter.

‘OK! OK! Stop!’ You grabbed onto his hands and spinning round to face him. ‘You’re mean to me sometimes.’ You pouted, causing him to crack up.

‘I love you too jagi.’ Hobi leaned down to quickly peck your lips.

‘Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea for me to take some dancing lessons. I may need them for a role in the future..’ You thought out loud as he pulled away.

‘Why would you pay for lessons when I can just teach you?’  Hobi raised his eyebrows in question.

‘As if I’d let you teach me!’ You exclaimed as soon as he finished his sentence, causing him to stare wide eyed at you. Ok, that hurt his feelings a little.

‘I’ve seen the death stares you give to the boys when they dare to make a mistake, and I’d rather not be on the receiving end of that!’ His body relaxed when he heard your reasoning. You had a valid point he though. He took his dancing very seriously and he would get upset when a mistake was made. As you knew full well, he was a perfectionist.

‘Ah – Just know that look comes from a place of love!’

‘It’s still a no!’

DEPICTIONS OF ES (and other prisoners) IN MV’s

Revisiting the topic of this post now with a better understanding of the characters and Deep Cover :)

Returning to Tear Drop there’s something I want to talk about that I didn’t cover the first time which is where exactly Es is placed in the scene.

We see from the opening scene there is a table and since both Yuno and the Client are sitting at it we can tell there are atleast two chairs. We can’t see anymore chairs the many time this table reappears in the MV so we can conclude that there are only two chairs at the table.

We see the plushie that represents Es , Milgram prison and the audience seated in a chair. It must be sitting in one of said two chairs since we can tell from the Yuno’s shots in the first scene that the chair we see the plushie in is the same as the two at the table

And because we know it’s placed on one of two chairs we should now be able to narrow down which one. Based on these shots the plushie seems to be placed in the chair of the client. To steal a term from 74n5n school girl Yuno is sitting in her chair like in the first scene then cat girl Yuno stands next to her and points. Since school girl Yuno is in the same place that means that the plushie must be in the clients chair. (Quick side note I released while writing this part that if the plushie is in the clients chair that the client must of left but school girl yuno is still sitting in the chair even though he isn’t there any more…even though he has left her at this point)

She mentality has placed the plushie , placed Es in the chair (in the role?) of her client. I believe this is because she see’s Es and by extension the audience as viewing her for only the mask she puts on and only what they want to see like she mentions , projecting their ideas onto her.

Returning to a point I made the last time. Yuno has the power in this scene. Es is represented as but a plushie and such they can not talk. The plushie shares a resemblance to the plushie from the first scene.

Though I’m still not quite sure what to make of this? The plushie in this scene is given to Yuno by the client symbol perhaps of his feelings? The lyrics of “the wanted(yuno) wanting the wanter(client)” so if the plushie represents how Yuno perceives the clients surface level feelings for his desired version of her then that could explain why the Es plushie resembles it? Since Yuno views their views on her as similar? Uhh idk…If there are an Yuno scholars in the audience feel free to correct me ^^;

————————————————————————————————

Now Backdraft time! >:]

Fuuta and Es clearly seem to mirror each other here. This is clearly meant as a visual representation how similar their actions are. Unlike Yuno who purely portrays Es as less powerful. I feel Fuuta more portrays Es as taking his role. Yuno portrays Es as taking on the role of her client and fuuta portrays Es as taking on his role. His role as the judge and as someone who holds wrong doers responsible for their actions.

Notably Es aside from not being graffiti is portrayed the same as the prisoners. Being full blacked out aside from their clothes.

Speaking of other prisoners! Let’s talk about them the prisoners(and Es) are somewhere between Fuuta , his victim and the rest of the online group and the people who were channeled. They aren’t out right twisted into monsters but they are dehumanised in a sense since they don’t have faces and are graffiti. I find it interesting that the graffiti is graffitied with red. Of course this is the colour of the guilty verdict but also Fuuta’s spray paint and the black paint that is used to hide their identifiable features outside of clothing is the colour of es’s spray paint at the end of the MV.

————————————————————————————————

okay so time for a MV I didn’t cover last time because that post was purely focused on Es and because it’s something I’ve only noticed recently ^^;

we see in Cat the numbers 02/03/04 appear when Kazui’s glass is knocked over. Now I’m not entirely convinced myself these are supposed to correspond to prisoners but I thought I’ve cover it just in case.

Yuno and Fuuta both have connections to kazui. Yuno and kazui are prominent character parallels. Muu is a bit strange though…and the song completely skips over one.

as for the lyrics displayed on screen they generally make sense for the prisoners associated with the numbers

Like yuno’s number has cat for obvious reasons.

Smashing and shattering seems pretty in line with Fuuta and same with bye bye. It also is kinda similar to bang ba bang?

Muu doesn’t so much lie as take on the role of the victim. She isn’t lying about the events just manipulating them but for kazui lying and acting a role are sort of conflated so the lying could be seen as ‘put on a role till it gets better’ ??? As for the rest , Muu is heavily associated with followers (the other bully girls/haruka) and with royalty so it fits.

————————————————————————————————

Next The Purge March

The first thing I want to make note of is that the Amane on the ground here is in a very similar position to Fuuta at the end of Back Draft and the other Amane who’s shadow becomes Es is in a similar position to Es at the end of Back Draft.

other then that theres the continued theme of Es taking on a role in the prisoners mind. This time of amane’s mother/cult/the person who delivers punishment. ————————————————————————————————

Continuing to Deep Cover

Now I personally believe that the scale chess piece represents multiple things. I think you could equally argue for the scale chess piece being Es or Kotoko but for the sake of the post we will continuing under that interpretation this chess piece represents Es. Assuming this is the case this would be first time “Es” has appeared visually in multiple scenes.

the way the prisoners are portrayed is really similar to how both Fuuta‘s and Amane’s Mv’s portrayed them as shadows with out distinguishable features and funnily enough flat and two dimensional (aside from Es at the end of Back Draft of course)

And while we are making comparisons Deep Cover also is similar to Tear Drop in its use if chairs and a table.

but something fairly unique to Kotoko is how she portrays the prisoners pieces as broken. An argument could be made that Fuuta’s portrayal of the other guilty prisoners and himself as vandalised is similar but it feels different. Even Yuno who destroys the room by the end it doesn’t seem there is any evidence of her ripping up plushie Es.

then there is how Kotoko portrays the prisoners as chess pieces. I’m no chess expert but I strongly associate it with scarfing in the name of winning the game and I feel that lines up with Kotoko’s mindset towards the other prisoners and other “evils” of the world. That they should be hurt and stoped and scarified for the greater good but the chess metaphor also could be how she views herself as on the opposing side to the prisoners. You try to kill? Capture? Take out? (I’ve never been clear on exactly what happens to the pieces in chess) the opponents pieces so you my reach the king (the root or source one might say) and get rid of him. Again lines up pretty well with how Kotoko’s views the word , take out the “evil” before it can hurt the weak (her side?). Chess is such loaded symbolism that I can’t dig into every possible connotation or meaning here so I’ll leave it at this for now. ————————————————————————————————

And to end off revisiting the comparison’s from the original post

-all the appearances still focus on judgment in some sense: Yuno judges Es for their judgment and as commentary on the voting system. / Fuuta is also being judged and is judging Es for their judgement. / Amane is being judged and punished and she to in the prior line is judging Es for their judgments / a big part of Deep Cover is Kotoko judging Es for their judgments and the song is almost entirely about judgment of herself , other prisoners and judgment of judgment.

-yuno’s and fuuta’s MVs have a prominent focus on eyes where as Deep Cover and Pruge March are the opposite with there being no eyes. Though Amane’s next line does reference eyes. “I disavow you, eyes corrupted must be crushed”

-Es still can’t and doesn’t speak in any of the forms where they are shown.

-Es is still always shown in the centre of the frame. Except for this shot in Deep Cover.

-there is still a focus on hands in all the shots expect for The Purge March and some shots in Deep Cover.

-The shots colours no longer mainly consist of the characters main colour and a gold esc colour and black. (Though this point was always a bit of a stretch)

-The character singing is not in frame / we see Es through the pov of the prisoner still carries over for the most part apart from again this Deep Cover shot.

-I noted the power dynamics partly earlier in the post. Of course the backdraft/tear drop/the purge march points remain the same as the original post. In Back Draft Es has the power. They are the judge they are the one channeling they are the one with the spray can and who is standing up but in tear drop , Yuno portrayed as with the power Es is portrayed as a powerless plushie who can’t talk or move. Yuno is very much judging Es then the other way round. She reimagined them as a stuffed toy something we generally view as childish. Purge march brings us back to Es having all the power. With them being the one who judges the others and in Deep Cover , Kotoko has all the power! She has not only taken the position of the judge like Yuno did but kotoko has taken on the role and appearance of a warden again is very much judging everyone.

[antiantisleep]

Before alien stage friday drops i have extended thoughts:

Cure/round 6:

Since the hand (presumably Ivan) is reaching out to Till's collar, it mirrors the last art of him reaching out to Till's neck! In that art he looked so distressed. Ivan loved Till's fire so I hc that seeing till chained like this is distressing for him. I hc even further that it makes him furious. Based on his expression in round 3 seeing Till go back, and the concept art of him holding the back of Till's head even knowing he can't keep Till to himself, he still has the wish to. Ivan's emotions are all tied to Till in some way, and even his negative emotions are. So far we've only really seen the mostly positive ones in the official MVs, but the thing is, Ivan is said to be nearly as twisted as Luka is!!! Round 6 might show something else as a response to the recent art: meaning that Ivan reaching out to Till is his own resolution to act in some way, whether sacrifice, fighting back, or anything else. Especially regarding the recent interview translation where he said he had to do something drastic to match Till.

Because so far Ivan has been really passive. The only real act he made for himself was as a child trying to escape. And based on his conversation with Sua, i really doubt he'll sacrifice himself for till the way Sua did for Mizi. I think he'll put up a fight, or at least fake it for the audience.

Meanwhile Till, who is in focus now in the recent mic art. The fact that there has been nearly zero official interviews and content of Till makes me remember round 5, where we didn't even know Mizi was the competitor! Something is definitely up. My theory is that in the MV, the past = ivan focused, the present = till focused, or vice versa. We'll definitely see Till's response to what's happening as well as his response to ivan, the way round 5 and all-in were Mizi's responses to her trauma. This is probably obvious though lol

On that note, mizi:

I am very sorry but I don't think Mizi and Hyuna will succeed with the saving ivantill. In fact I worry about them too especially with added security, and the segyein knowing for sure that they're coming after all the ruckus in All-In, although they probably won't die since they have more implied character development in their future (mostly mizi), that still isn't a guarantee.

NOTHING IS A GUARANTEE IN THE ALNST UNIVERSE

[blueepink07]

Some of my Milgram trial 3 predictions!

First off, I will start with a little introduction with my thoughts of the newest conversation between Haruka and Kotoko!

I was surprised that they decided to drop this conversation so early considering that it is very important in order to move the plot forward, despite trial 2 not even being finished... Untill I realized that it is the perfect time for Haruka to proceed with his plan. If he waits for the trial to end, there is a high chance for him to be restrained immediately. We don't know how the restraints during third trial will look like, but there is a high chance for them to look similar with those from Undercover, where their hands are fully restrained.

If that's the case, then Haruka wouldn't be able to hold a weapon at all and to harm himself.

He knows that he was voted guilty. It makes sense considering that since his birthday, he started to think about a plan in order to protect Muu.

23/06/22 (Haruka’s Birthday)

Mu: Haruka-kun, I brought your food. Are you still alive? Has any mould started growing?

Haruka: ……ah, thank you very much. Mu-san. Sorry, um… I…

Mu: You shouldn’t just lock yourself in your room all day. You have to eat your food properly. Hm, well…… I do understand why you’re feeling down. It feels bad. The atmosphere recently

Haruka: Um, I’m totally fine…Just a bit, I’m thinking, about how to do it. What to do, what to do, to… fulfil my promise. For Mu-san’s sake…

Moreover, Mahiru and Fuuta, during first trial, started to feel judged by people who told them they were in the wrong, not long after their guilty verdicts. It was also before Kotoko's voting period...

Kotoko's MV will be released on 17 January (also Mahiru's birthday) and her voting period should end around May... Unless we will get another portal timeline conversation which is not for a birthday, we have two more timeline portal timeline conversations for this trial Mahiru's and Fuuta's birthday (19 April) .

We will just have to see when Haruka will actually go along with his plan... Since on Mahiru's birthday it will be released Kotoko's MV, I kind of doubt that Haruka will do something at that time... I feel like it would be too much content and it would be hard to catch up with everything... So my prediction would be that something will happen on Fuuta's birthday or around that time. I feel like it would also end in a very dramatic way the second trial.

Now that this part is done, I will begin explaining some predictions for Haruka and a few other prisoners (Yuno, Fuuta, Mahiru)

Haruka -> I think that he will go along with his plan before the end of the second trial. This will give him enough mobility to hold a weapon and actually cause himself harm. What Haruka asks from Kotoko is simple: to let him harm himself and to stay away, letting him go along with his plan.

Haruka: ...Please, be quiet about this. And you, please don't get involved. All I can do is ask this of you...

Kotoko: Fufufu, fufufufufu. You're thinking some outrageous things. To be frank, it's abnormal. But I don't dislike it. If only all sinners were like you.

Haruka: No... That's not it... I don't mean it that way... This isn't for me... it's to protect... so, Kotoko-san... please...

Kotoko: Eh? Yes, yes. Well, I promise not to interfere with your plans. Even though I'd like to do it myself, I'll leave it to you. What happens after that... depends on Es, doesn't it?

Other prisoners will sure try to stop him, thinking about Kazui, Mikoto, since they seem the most able, physically speaking. However, I'm afraid that Kotoko will interfere and slow down Kazui or any prisoner who is trying to help Haruka. I'm imagining that it will be a big mess... It's possible that even other prisoners, except Haruka, will get injuried somehow, trying to interfere...

Yuno -> Not very fond of social interactions. Her mental health will deteriorate even more, but she will not show it. Will find more information about Milgram (the only one who starts to question her own existence)

I really think that it will be revealed that she is in fact dead.

Let me explain, how it would work!

The second Milgram novel, (for the sake of not giving much spoilers, I will not say the name of who I'm talking about!), introduces us with something new! Three of the characters are aware that they are dead. Why? Because they remember killing themselves. They died with this memory...

Yuno, on the other hand, states that she had many abortions... It's true that the stairs should be taken as symbolism for the stages of her pregnancy, however Japan is known for it's expensive abortions!

Moreover, it is usually required the partner's consent in order to have an abortion..

Not only Yuno would never want her family to struggle with money after such a big payment, but I also don't think she would manage to gain the signature of one of her clients.

So what option she would have? It seems that falling down the stairs might have been a good option...

Going back, imagine being in Yuno's shoes. A legal, medical abortion is not possible, so she decides that harming herself might help her escape from this situation. It worked before, so why it wouldn't now? However, something happens, she falls dangerously and suddenly everything goes black and she wokes up in Milgram. Now, falling down the stairs can cause instant death if the head is hit or the neck snaps.

"By hitting your head, or breaking your neck, either of which could easily occur in a staircase fall. You can hit your neck at an angle where it would snap due to the pressure of falling and cause instant death."

This means that her brain will stop working shortly after death, so she will not process the fact that she died. Remember what I said before? That the three characters from the novel were aware that they were dying, so their brains processed that and had this memory in Milgram.

Yuno doesn't have this privilege, however she could suspect her death, if her last thing she remembers is her falling down the stairs.

Fuuta -> it's so hard to imagine something for him... But I truly think he will give more assistance to the younger ones. He already expresses concern for Haruka, despite saying in the interrogation questions that he can't bother, considering his mental health and injuries.

I've made a post a while ago talking about how passage of time in Milgram is really weird and that their bodies don't seem to grow at all. Their injuries which should have been better after a few months, during trial 2, also didn't get better at all, especially considering Mahiru's case and Shidou spending most of his time with her.

At that time, I've been thinking that once somebody has an injury, their body will be unable to heal. So I think that Fuuta's physical condition will not change much.

Moreover, I believe that Fuuta and Amane will get closer... I'm expecting a timeline conversation which would explain better what is happening right now. No, I don't think he will be fully indoctrinated, I think he will be given just that hope that there is somebody there who loves him and appreciates him. (I think he will be really distrustful of the voices that he will hear, even if they are positive) To believe all that Amane has been taught, means to stop receiving medical care. And if his body doesn't heal, he will still be in constant pain.

I doubt he will refuse medications, considering that he is very desperate to relieve the pain. Also, forgot to mention, but there are a few religious aspects that Fuuta has in his MV or VD, even before his interactions with Amane...

Mahiru -> what I'm going to write are my thoughts after I've been asked what romantic pairing I think would become canon. (for this, I'm not really sure, but I thought it will be interesting to share!)

Trial 3 is stated that will be worse than this trial, which as well, had lots of conflicts between prisoners and prisoners experiencing mental torture and physical injuries. If there will be any romantic ship canon, I really think that it would be something that makes the characters to be even more absorbed by their beliefs.

Any romantic relationship between Amane(obviously), Kotoko, Fuuta, Yuno, Muu, Haruka, Kazui, Mikoto (John and Mikoto, I doubt that an inno vote will have them in better terms, Milgram will sure make the situation worse somehow 😭) seems unlikely for me.

Yuno, because she wishes more and more to escape from Milgram and she will sure be more distant with the others, especially if Mahiru heals.

Fuuta, he was distant before, even if his condition gets better I can't picture him having as a priority to be in a romantic relationship.

Kotoko, she is too absorbed in her ideals to deliver justice, also no one is really approaching her.

Muu and Haruka, their relationship dynamic is not balanced at all. One sees the other as a friend, the other as a parental figure... The guilty vote will just strenghten this condepency and they will need eachother more, but that's it.

The only relationship that I can possibly see is one between Mahiru and Shidou, but it would most probably be one sided (Mahiru will express some attachment to Shidou). It is stated that Shidou spends most of his time with Mahiru.

Especially the last timeline conversation seems to hint that they will still spend lots of time together, at least until the beginning of the third trial.

Mahiru: Shidou-san, you have a family...right? Having family, having children, how does it feel...?

Shidou: ...Yes, it's a wonderful thing. Children are... Well, they're hope itself. When you have children, growing older becomes enjoyable. The more you age, the more your children grow.

Mahiru: Ah...how wonderful. It was my dream to become a bride. It may be a little old-fashioned but, I wanted to make it come true...

Shidou: It's not too late. I will keep you alive, Shiina-kun. Let's get out of here and make that dream come true. ...You still have your whole life ahead of you.

Moreover, Mahiru states that she doesn't want to change her ideals, because she can't live without love in the second voice drama.

That's why I'm thinking... In what way they could possibly show the characters getting worse, if they don't let the prisoners to overindulge in their own desires and ideals? To Kotoko this already happened, so what would stop a romantic relationship between Mahiru and someone else, most probably Shidou (as he seems the best choice so far) ? We, as voters, wouldn’t be so impacted by the way prisoners could change outside Milgram (if they will ever get out) than inside, with the characters we love so much.

To finish off, I would say that this will most probably be the only romantic relationship that I can think of happening, but even so, more from Mahiru's part.

I personally don't really ship Milgram characters, so here is me just thinking about the worst possible outcome that it comes to my mind right now!

Trial 3 will sure be awful, so I'm expecting the worst. 😭

Rosemary, since youre the one who got me to listen to more PinocchioP recently, I'd love to know what your favorites of his are if you'd like to share :3

HEHE….. strap in this might get a little long. i like his music a lot. gonna start with my top favorites and then just throw other ones onto the pile from there

nobody makes sense - probably my top favorite. LOVE a good "life has no meaning so we have to create meaning" theme, and the visuals are beautiful. i'm buried in a garbage heap, looking up at the stars...

nice to meet you, people of earth (my own translation of the title lol) - ALWAYS MAKES ME EMOTIONAL. the strengths and faults of humanity viewed through the eyes of a hopeful outsider...

loveit - a quiet melancholy one about easily getting sucked into self-destructive relationships... and the mv is beautiful

anonymous m - best of his recent work imo. LOVE a good meta exploration of hatsune miku as a character or not-character

lonely ufo - one of the first songs of his i ever heard. makes me emotional...

ghosts play to the audience - really interesting song about creative integrity vs crowd-pleasing as an artist and the unclear boundary between the two. also about ghosts! and it bangs!

yozurina - a song about the uncertainty and attachment of long-distance love. dawn comes again...

vocaloid is lame - a melancholy song about dealing with haters of one's work that sort of turns into a classic pino-p "finding optimism in the midst of your sadness" thing. the high note on the astronaut line always makes me tear up a bit

everything about animals - duet between miku and pino-p himself! "there's tigers, horses, deer, working adults, livestock, monkeys, you who once raised your first cry..."

it's a festival, hey come on! - i only checked this one out recently because of the creative mixed-media mv and it took a while to grow on me but now i think the chorus is so catchy. flashing lights cw

tonchinkan feast - possibly the first of his songs i ever heard. kind of an oddball but i love the creative mv. my party trick is i can sing this from memory. if you listen to it you'll understand why it's a party trick

motivation is dead - THEE depression song

god-ish - i'm sorry vocaloid community for putting this one so far down the list i just thought of a bunch of other ones first. this one got so crazy popular it shows up in "all time miku songs" tribute art. kind of wild. i was there when it dropped, who'da known...

magical girl and chocolate - another recent one that got popular although not to the insane degree of god-ish. when i find a toku character to apply this to it's over for you guys

non-breath oblige - forgot about this one for a bit but it's so good it makes me emotional. wish it was humanly possible to sing

and i'm just gonna throw ultimate senpai, what's inside, kick ass literally, nee nee nee, and mushroom mother onto the pile real quick before this gets too long. you've already seen 404, apple dot com, what yama says goes, last continue, reincarnation apple and common world domination from my other post so i didn't write up a blurb for any of those but those are some classic favorites of mine too, especially the first three. NOW as if this post wasn't long enough here are some collabs and stuff of his i like:

i'm a controversy by ado - vocals by ado, written and produced by pino-p. aka THE FUCKING DREAM TEAM EVER. this song expresses ado's conflicted reaction to the controversy she's generated with the social criticism in her music. imo THEE best song to come out of the voca-p adjacent circle this year. mv goes hard too

(not) a devil - collab with deco*27, another insanely popular voca-p, possibly the most insanely popular one currently active. as you can imagine this one made quite a splash. i like duet collabs like this because you can hear the difference in how each artist tunes their miku. pino-p's muted soft-spoken miku ftw

gorgeous big conversation - collab with utsu-p, a less popular but still fairly big voca-p known for his signature heavy metal sound which you can hear in this song. i love the lyrics of this one they are silly and surreal, i wish this video was subbed. shoutout to internet comedian arufa who is the guy in the video, he also provided the human voice in anonymous m. you may know him from this video which got popular on tumblr

ok hope this wasn't too long :) enjoy!!! also, i put these in no particular order, but if you pay attention to the upload dates think it's interesting to see how the style evolves over time. also did you know the art is done by pino-p himself :) with some exceptions obviously but that distinctive style you see always popping up is done by him

“I think you need to understand that IF Tk split up, it will not make jikook real. “

honestly, anon, I think this was the main reason people assumed you were a jkker. Like, it’s fine to think they’ve broken up and believe what you want. I agree there’s echo chambers in all sides of fandom (tho I think depending where you are, jm is even magnified due to insecurity in tkk spaces so his appearances with jk (but never Tae…) are remembered more clearly than any other of the other members) but the concerns immediately became suspicious as a posing jkker when you said jk dedicated so many lives to him and particularly when you said they went on a trip together.

Because what does that have to do with taekook? Insecure tkkers will see it and get defensive. The rest will see it and kind of go, yes and? (And then assume you’re a jkker and, unfortunately, laugh at you for presenting this as evidence against taekook). Jk and Jm were both in NY for what appears to be work and took the time to hang out. I wouldn’t frame it as taking a vacation with another man. They are friends, they were in the same place, their schedules aligned. I love they got to hang out. JK also went to Busan with the 97 liners but that’s apparently not suspicious for tkk breaking up. So why mention the trip with jm? JK supported Jm in his lives but he’s praised jm frequently in the past, quite profusely. He admires jm and is friends with him. None of that is strange to me.

And him not posting online for Tae is give or take odd given his only socials are twitter (shared BTS), Weverse, and TikTok. I don’t doubt he supported him offline but a Weverse post would be for the fans more than Tae and I don’t care enough about TikTok to know what him liking a video would mean. He hasn’t had a long enough live to just hang out (since layover dropped, he came on after gcf and once on his birthday—where he did listen to Christmas tree as he showed us a card trick. He also said he’d just had practice and slept only 5 hours) so we can’t really assume he wouldn’t watch suchwita or Tae’s MVs with us. He could also have been told to do fewer lives. He could be doing it less to maintain the air of mystery. He could be doing it less because he and Tae are both super busy and so they’re spending free time together or resting and not with us. Maybe he’s with jm hanging out! All we have is speculation and assumptions and mine isn’t it’s because of a break up. I can’t imagine Tae being so happy if a possibly years long relationship just broke off and you had to stay together as friends or ruin the band. I can’t imagine jk breaking up with tae right before his album comes out and he has to go through all the promotion.

Either way, JK supporting or hanging out with Jm should have nothing to do with break up rumors because tkk breaking up or not being together doesn’t make jkk real. The ones who usually push the jk supports jm more than Tae narrative are jkkers looking to prove taekook is fake. That’s why people assumed you were a jkker pretending.

Sorry this got long. You just seemed surprised why we would assume you were a jkker and this, at least, is my explanation.

Hi anon!

I think anon maybe just wonders why Jk can do those things for Jimin but not Tae. They wonder if this means Tae and Jk broke up and that’s why Jk hasn’t mentioned Tae probably. And that would be a possible response to a breakup.. the not posting part, not the Jimin part. But to me there’s been nothing in Tae’s behavior pointing to a recent breakup. He’s been happy, genuinely. Talking about Jk in a normal, loving way. So imo that doesn’t fit.

And yes, normally the Jkk-Tkk comparison does come from Jkkrs.

Next Album's Color Palette

In my [ first post ], I explained why the next era is most likely to be monochromatic, with hints of blue. Since I’ve explained this already, I’ll give a little TLDR;

SAI’s color scheme has slowly gone desaturated, between the Livestream and The Outside’s MV + the Icy Tour. Pink and yellow have turned to black and white. Blue is seen as the color of defeat, and the only color to remain out of the initial SAI palette has been that blue. The last MV we got ended with Dema engulfed in the neon’s blue fire.

However, since then, many hints for a violet-themed era have been dropped.

It’s fairly obvious that Ned is going to have a critical role from here on out. With the Ned’s Bayou plush drop came several new pieces of clothing. A majority of them were violet, with the phrasing ‘ Ned Will Show Us The Way ‘.

For the Black Friday promotion, on Nov. 23, 2022, this header was added to the site.

This proof is very minimal, but I feel it is enough to lean on. Ned was the catalyst for the physical destruction of Dema, and his antlers will continue to be used as a possible means of attack. The finale nearly solely relies on Ned and his antlers.

Also, the purple butterfly that Tyler wore.

Butterflies are strong symbolism for rebirth and change.

During RAB/Vessel, Tyler and Clancy seemed to be small and meek, mindlessly bowing to Dema's will. Both grew enough to distance themselves from their original obedience and will rebuild Dema into something new. A larva will undergo metamorphesis, and morph into a butterfly.

It is possible that violet symbolizes victory, which would explain why it's never been relevant.

NOTE - Pet Cheetah’s audio AND VR video have an unattended purple and orange themed background. It was completely out of place for Trench. The song and Jason himself were rarely brought up. Albeit being on, arguably, the most important album, it serves almost no purpose.

Other than color, I’ve literally got no way to tie it in. Lack of purpose is most likely because Tyler wrote it after Trench was finished. Not too confident in the connection.

Conclusions, as of Nov. 23, 2022.

I still, somewhat, believe that I was correct back in August. The next album will focus on the destruction and defeat of Dema, will be lyrically straightforward as Trench was, and has been confirmed to be their darkest yet. It will also be a continuation and expansion of Redecorate.

A monochromatic tone with hints of defeat-colored blue would be perfectly in line with this.

Ned’s importance cannot be undermined, though. Color has been revealed through merch before, and the bayou drop can’t necessarily be ignored or chalked up to nothing.

Butterflies, although never mentioned, would also perfectly symbolize both Clancy & Tyler’s growth and change from RAB/Vessel.

EDIT - Nov. 30 2022

[ Tyler's most recent Instagram story ] was lit up in purple.

He confirmed that MTV Unplugged was set to release next year, and that he's " excited about the music that [ he's ] working on. "

END EDIT

Both are possible. ~ shesacarver

[taegularities]

! Brief trigger: this is not exactly a rant, it’s a story time but a very long one, pls bear with me 🥲 (also my first ask so there’s that)

Been following you for a while now Rid, I’ve mostly read your standalone fics like love me better, begin, silk & stones, stars behind waves & tale of broken hearts. I consider myself as the type who likes gut wrenching angst that ends in happy ending or at least a feeling of hope at the end. These ones like you had promised, were definitely angst heavy (esp the vmin fics). I prefer not to touch long series coz I fear I might lose interest midway thru & might end up thinking I wasted lots of time reading it since it often happens that authors end up adding bunch of filler scenes in between & im one who doesn’t like that.

So for the longest time I actually ignored cmi, until the amc thing came up & the some of the questions relating to the character arcs were def intriguing for me, & I thought ‘why not just give this one a go?’ The word count for cmi looked quite scary😶 so I took inspiration from seven & tried finishing from start till the recent update within seven days (…peak stupidity LoL) & GOD THE ANGST. I couldn’t help but take a blanket over my head to tear down through the rough patches that followed in midway through the fic…literally every scene was so detailed, it almost felt like I was looking at two people I closely knew & felt sorry for to suffer the miseries of being apart because of the conflicts they’d been facing.

Even if I actually succeeded in completing the 200k wc (the fastest & longest record for me) I was able to enjoy the fic. Maybe coz you actually understand the pacing of the slow burn and wrote their arcs so carefully which allowed the reader to slowly unveil their personalities, their flaws, their growth throughout the fic. I kinda skipped the drabbles in between (i did skim through but didn’t actually focus on them alot) coz the goal was to first read through the main storyline then take my time to unwind & re-read the drabbles after. Honestly this work might be my fav one from you, or any Jungkook fic I’ve read in the entirety of this website. Just wanted to say thanks for crafting such a wonderful piece of literature for us, im thrilled to read further what lays in store for jk & oc after they talked through their differences & patched up. And after reading so much pining that went behind in the past 9(?) parts, I’d actually love only fluff and warmth for this couple (me as angst enthusiast saying this✋🙂). And yes, I’m waiting for the cmi drabble (seven mv jk cross over with cmi jk is an unimaginable menace 🫠) and future parts to be posted sooner too! This couple has my heart💛

this was your first ask?! to lil ole me? 😭 omg hope you still see this one!! i wasn't around much when you sent it, then it got buried – but today i remembered it again and wanted to say hi 🥺

first of all, tysm for reading so many of my fics, and such long ones, too!! like, lmb is a huge ass piece, so im really happy you gave it a shot and enjoyed it, too 🥺 and like, same goes for cmi. it's also so lovely to know that people try out stuff on my page that they usually wouldn't – so it melts my heart that you gave cmi a chance and grew to love it as well!! angst, ikr? me too, i could live off of it :') LOL NOT THE SEVEN DAY CHALLENGE. that's actually so amusing and sweet 🤣 i know the word count is crazy and the chapters tend to get very long, but... i know i'm repeating myself, but i'm incredibly thankful that you tuned in. if you ever want, do read through the drabbles, too, since i think they give a deeper glimpse into the characters' flaws and personalities – no pressure tho!!

once again, thank you. it means the world to me to know you loved it so much. like, fav fic? please i'll sob :'') a lot of fluff incoming (but angst too, so fret not), and i truly hope you enjoy the rest as well. drop by anytime, seriously, i'd love to talk about cmi or anything with you whenever you like!! 🥺🤍

[back-on-my-bucky-bs]

nah nah i think you're onto something. like when a creep gets actually exposed most of the defenders (if there are any, depends on the severity of what was exposed) end up male who think its not a big deal while female friends often see the red flags and call them the fuck out we seen this happen before so many times. so idk about anyone else but the fact dream is surrounded by female friends on all sides and they trust him? to the point of partying with him and visiting his house? that's fucking huge and a giant green flag. also i just think most of the male cc's that left and burnt bridges did it because they were big mad that dream no longer gave them clout that they felt they were owed and decided to farm clout by themselves using dream's name without his consent 🤷‍♀️ now that is a red flag and a dick move from everyone else but dream

ngl I worried I said to much with my observations but I'm also glad someone else is picking up on them

I know I'm speaking in absolutes and I know I'm an outsider looking in, and I also know women are capable of being predators, but I mean come on? you'd think if these allegations were at all true, Hannah, Slyvee, Bella Poarch, (the girl from the Everest music video I have no clue her name) would stay far away from him. They wouldn't be in the mv nor would stay the night at his house. But the men? The men who claim to say they side with survivors every time someone in the influencing world is "exposed"? Those guys drop him and say the meanest cruelest shit about him? The fuck is the logic?

Again I'm so bad at conveying this in a way that makes sense, but like I said there's something sus going on.

Additionally the clout chasing, yeah I get that we're farther removed from the "drituation" (thank the gods) so this wave of hate (tommy specifically) is so out of the blue imo? I get Tommy's an adult and is capable of his own opinions but the change is so sudden and drastic, it's like someone else is influencing him to switch sides. I worry about Tubbo and Tina doing the same now that they're on the asshole smp. It's getting them streams/views and it is the only non-human dranti that exists imo because of who it was made by and the people who watch it. Like I already have an issue with BBH being on the server out of principle.

Idk where I was going with this last bit ngl. But either way I just hate so much the hate Dream gets. It's undeserved and yet so many people find fame in hating him, getting streams/views when they shouldn't.

slightly off topic but I have a point; anyway I recently saw a TikTok illustrating how "now" everyone loves Taylor Swift and those of us who loved her back in 2013/2014 when all the shit was going down online deserve a badge saying "I was never the asshole and have loved her the entire time" and I can see, 3-5 years down the line a similar video being made about Dream. Cause those of us here, now, who love him and have loved him since the start (or just whenever you joined the fandom) are fucking wonderful human beings and those who hate him deserve all the karma and those who will hopefully change their minds better own up to being shitty to him because it's so wrong and I just can't understand how/why so much hate exists for one person.

[slytherinshua]

Ooohhhhhh i just thought bc the way you wrote shinyu was so cute 😭😭

unfortunately, i was a predebut stan of tws but bc i decided to support svts juniors but then their pre release got stuck in my head and then i found put they were all introverts and then i went down a spiral and now i have a huuugggee soft spot for tws

i was so happy when plot twist won so many awards and now that if im n can you be my s? is also winning awards. it sucks that they're only famous in korea, literally so less people stan them internationally.

They're like the first group whose discography ive listened to, fully. as soon as it was released.

my favourite song from the debut album is either first hooky or unplugged boy, i love them both so so so much. from summer beat i love you+me=7942 and fire confetti. double take and oh my my: honorable mentions.

Youre soo right abt jebewon btw. i was never really into all the 'they'll disband!' thing and all but the first 5th gen group i liked was bnd and then tws when they debuted but i watched 2 eps of zbtv and suddenly bam! everything is zb1. hanbin was my bias before i even knew who zb1 was😭😭

Me and my friend both stan svt but then we have such different choices in both 5th and 4th gen. shes a moa and im a stay, shes a onedoor and im an sai_rose so :/ and on top of that she was there for the entirety of boys planet 😭😭😭

i always loved bnds music and myungjae was everywhere on my fyp but i started watching them now and god i absolutely adore sungho (and leehan)

no bc i was spent like 30 minutes trying to remember which anon i was 😭😭 i had exams so i just kind of went off of everything 🙃 but yeah!!! Im back!!!

HAVE THE BESTEST DAY EVER!!

🌱

yeah skdjs I get a lot of requests for shinyu I absolutely love writing for him but he’s not my bias!!

me too I’m a predebut stan and I’m so glad I was I was like I’m gonna support them no matter what when the video dropped I was so dedicated I was teaching my friends their faces like minutes after cause I forced my brain to learn their faces even tho there was only one video to go by. I would take so many screenshots too I slowed the video down to like get smooth ones as well LMAO

yeah not many stan internationally but I think people will slowly start to stan as they have more comebacks. they’re definitely marketed towards Korea which personally I love. tho it is a little weird cause I’m like they’re not nugu by any means but literally no one stans them 😭😭😭 but it’s okay soon there will be more sai!!!

from debut my fav songs were unplugged boy and bff but I adored every single song on their debut they have the best debut in the industry imo and I will stand by it!!! years from now their debut will still be iconic because it was so popular in korea and the best debuts are the ones like that

aww yeah 😭😭 I was loosely following them since boys planet started but I never watched any cause I can’t do survival shows. but when they debuted I watched the mv and listened to their songs but still was like no I’m not gonna stan. I rly didn’t want to get attached but the thing is I heard abt gunwook being called ugly and I was like hold up I don’t think he is from what I remember abt the group. and then I just looked him up to make sure and yeah i was right he was the main member who I noticed so I started like knowing abt gunwook more…. and more…… and more…. until eventually I couldn’t stand it anymore and stanned them so yay (but not yay cause I signed myself up for pain my original plan was just to stan gunwook or his group when he redebuted or went solo)

skdjs well I both say you have great taste in 5th gen you rly can’t go wrong all the groups are so good!! omg sungho was my first bonedo bias <3 I was also there for them predebut and I went through a couple biases and struggled forever with the 03z. rn I’m saying I’m ot6 cause I rly can’t choose :(

yeah like 😭😭 I had forgotten u had existed cause it’s been so long the emoji tag was recent when I was searching through anons.. and like since I changed ur tag too it was confusing as well LMAO but I’m so glad ur back when I saw ur ask I was like wait they requests cheol right like I went to double check cause usually my memory is good but yk not always AND YEAH IT WAS!! TYSM I JUST WOKE UP AND IM GONNA GO GET COFFEE AND PLAY SOME TENNIS AND HOPEFULLY WRITE LATER IM EXCITED FOR TODAY <33

[bebecue]

Hi rika! I'm genuinely so sick rn but it finally gave me the time to put together some song recs! (Also little Mavis update: you and my oldest sister are on the same wavelength cause she recommended the name Mavis bc of the hotel Transylvania character(she wanted to name her Selena but we said it had to be spooky so she settled for Alex or Mavis since they were played/voiced by her) she's still small and cute but she's also a demon who keeps shredding my arm :/)

1. Song of the Wind by KINGDOM - the Ghibli vibes are SO STRONG in this song, I don't think I've heard a kingdom song I don't like so far so this being my absolute no contest top song from them kinda says something. It's such a beautiful song and I'm so excited for you to listen to it

2. Reborn by GHOST9 - this wasn't a recent thing I was actually obsessed with this song last year when she had it on her Halloween playlist but I only rediscovered it recently when we she was watching the performance video on the TV heh

3. BlockBuster by DKZ - I think this is gonna be really entertaining for you so I'm not gonna spoil anything I'll just say that their nickname of "guys who know how to have fun" (or something like that) really makes sense lol

Bonus 4(&5 cause I have no self control)! Bewitched by PIXY - I LOVE a horror concept and pixy always eats it up, this is my favorite of theirs(my mum's too lol) there's only an mv for the eng version though, just so you know

Zombie by PURPLE KISS - another thing I love, a typically spooky concept made just SO FUN, I can't go I week without listening to her (ooh-ahh mv vibes, and another one of my mum's favorites haha)

Ily rika, sorry it's so long this time but I mean,,, it's been in the making for awhile heheh. think of me whilst I recover from the plague 😷 ~ bugunon

BUGUNONNNNN hi!!! aww no, what!!! you know when you sent this, i was sick with a sinus infection too, but it sounds like you have it much worse... and aaah your sister and i were on the same wavelength!! and mavis was an excellent choice, i'm glad you guys settled for it hehe and omg she turned you into a living scratch pole...

Song of the Wind by KINGDOM - OMG listennnn i heard the opening notes and i felt like i was transported into howl's moving castle. i love kingdom's concept, they've managed to release songs that are consistent with it so far, and there's a unique and refreshing take with each release

Reborn by GHOST9 - the opening literally took my breath away, i looove the dubstep elements, not many artists can integrate it well with pop-like vocals, but this song is incredible!!! this is going on my treadmill playlist hehe

BlockBuster by DKZ - i dont wanna spoil it either for anyone who wants to check it out, BUT THE SAMPLE AAAA i was like "hmmmm the opening sounds familiar" and then i kept watching and the prechorus started and i almost SCREAMED this is so good and fun, i'm almost mad i didnt know about this song before you recommended it

Bewitched by PIXY - my jaw literally DROPPED in the transition from the prechorus to the chorus, these girls know how to do a spooky concept omg.. i wish i had better headphones to listen to this because i know the bass would be killer

Zombie by PURPLE KISS - yes omg we love a fun spooky concept, but i'm gonna admit i already know zombie hehe it went viral here when it first came out because they used a logo from a local supermarket for art for one of the window decals.. the hook is SO Addicting, i'm gonna add this to my playlist again for spooky season hehe

i love how we stuck with sorta a halloween theme here omg bugunon these were so fun to listen to!!! i hope you're recovering well and getting a lot of rest, the plague does not sound fun

[struggle-but-its-all-ocean-floor]

I see what you mean.

I watched Tae's MV for LMA a few times. Song better than rainy days, but still very basic. I didn't like the clothes they went with tbh. The turtle neck with sequins, the color choice, and then his hair color, everything seemed a mismatch. Add to that, the location. Why is he singing a love song, into a mic, inside a decorated cave? Maybe we'll find out when all 5 songs drop?

Just a denim or leather would have been a nice simple look. Better than the bling they went with.

And the entire MV was him singing into the mic with the camera zooming into his face, nothing creative basically. So Iam confused about why we need so many MVs if that's how it'll all be?

I wonder if Tae had any inputs or if it was all MHJ.

Rainy days MV, I get what they were going for. Rainy day, missing his partner, feeling lonely and all that. But it didn't come across very well.

So far, layover isn't doing much for me. Let's see what the rest of the tracks are like.

Since he's blond in the MV, I guess they shot all recently? He only a month ago coloured his hair blond right?

I only watched both MVs once. I don't really stream MVs and if I don't like them the first time I never watch them again. Also,I can't even watch YT right now because I'm in Angola and a submarine sank or something and now the Internet connection is really bad. Someone please explain to me why Tumblr, Twitter, Reddit, WhatsApp, Outlook and other sites work perfectly, but Google, YT, Spotify, and others, barely work. I don't understand. When the WiFi signal is weak Tumblr barely loads but it's working so well, yet YT, which works even when everything else doesn't, can't pick up my WiFi signal. Anyway, sorry, it's frustrating that I can't watch anything lmao. I took a 3 hour nap out of boredom. Thankfully I downloaded a lot of songs on Spotify.

But yeah, agreed with everything. I remember watching the Rainy Days MV and thinking, is this it?, but then there was a part than improved? - I was going to write about it at the time but I got so busy with work I couldn't even do that, and now I don't remember the MV. Anyway... the artsy stuff doesn't really work well. Like I said before, it's very Instragram-y and random. It doesn't feel organic.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Tae's been blonde for a couple of months now? I remember being surprised seeing that he was still blond at Inkigayo. He was blond during the last FW event he attended, right? That's when we saw he was blond for the first time, with Park Bogum in Paris. According to Twitter (since I can't google stuff I have to look it up on Twitter lmao, which is really the best place for BTS related news), that was July 2. So, yeah, he's been blond for a month and a half now. I thought it was longer lmao, but it's still surprising because his hair looked so damaged. BTS usually shoot stuff a month or so in advance, I think. Seven was the same thing, and a lot of other MVs.

Thanks for the ask! And for allowing me to vent about my personal dilemmas lmao.

[prussianenigma]

i love tumblr bc i’m essentially screaming into the void, talking to a brick wall but with the feeling of actually posting something

[pockydays]

and omg i was looking through your carrd and i noticed that you like skz and day6?@!$)#!) BESTIE WHO ARE YOUR BIASES 😩✋

UGH YOUR TASTE IS IMMACULATE HOLY HECK

i literally cannot choose a bias from day6 but i feel like i would naturally tend to bias jae because of his old yt channel (rip jaesix) and twitch streams and his podcast and just his humor in general (also because he speak the english lol) <3 OH WAIT I FORGOT ABOUT EAJ TOO (eaJ >>>>>>>)

my skz bias is probably hannie !! although i would die for any of them in a heartbeat :D
