i listened to the triples album and its their absolute best album no question but i gotta be honest there is nothing seperating triple s with artms musically like all of their songs are so interchangeable between both groups and its all good music so it doesnt matter but its hard to rly seperate the two bc if u like artms' music then u automatically like triples' music as well and vice versa

i saw your other moot game, you're so sweet! :( your friends must love you so much. i'd like to give you another moot game: your moots as songs and why?

HI ANON !! awh tysm 😖 !! i love my friends veryvery much ♡ with another game,, more moots this time !! so doe those who i have missed, it’s truly not on purpose as this was a little bit harder to be able to find the songs i thought would best suit you … so there might not be much because of that :’(

@macapunoz — dandelion by grentperez ; BECAUSE GRENT>>>> anddd other than the upbeat (?) energy this song brings, i also chose this for this lyric: “if i could choose anywhere to be, i’d wanna be with you”! i believe it very much describes me with rhin🤞!! because no matter where i’m at, with rhin, nothing else matters than her presence 🫶 (pftbz together forever and ever 🤍)

@juyeoz — tick tack by illit ; if i had to pick one song to associate and reserve to alya forever, it would be this one. it’s just a song that instantly gets you energetic and happy, which gives off her personality A LOT. and honestly, whenever i see a pic or vid of her smiling, this always plays in my head LIKE ITS ACTUALLY SO BEAUTIFUL 😊 so yes! tick tack! (pftbz together forever and ever 🤍)

@htaesan — serenade by boynextdoor ; now, what’s a soph moot game ( ik it’s only been two shush ) without mentioning or associating bonedo with my love lili??? ( my gongfourz ❤️‍🩹 ) like let’s look at the eng translation for one of the lyrics ( which i think it’s right? ) “i love you baby, baby, baby! i’ve been screaming the whole neighborhood knows (i like you)” … yeah that part & as well as the entire song, that’s pretty much how i act for lili on blr and insta because … that’s forever my bae !! 🤍 #willforeverserenadeher

@saemisic — candy crush by artms ; I FEEL LIKE THIS SUITS SAE SM??? like let’s go look at her navi rq and tell me it doesn’t SCREAM this song?? YOU HAVE TO GET MY VISIONNNN 🫣 it’s such a cutesy song w/ a sweet vibe that instantly makes you feel 10x better when listening to it ( which is happening rn as i write this HAHAH) and leads to my thought of believing this song matches her pretty well !!

@antoncyng — unplugged boy by tws ; NINI!!! okay my logic for choosing this song is that… it reminds me of big suki by &team ( ME AND NINI UNITE AS LUNES ��� ) ! this is because of her message / reaction to that song recc i put in the k-films song reccs channel 😊 !! SO THIS CONNECTION WAS MADE… THIS SONG IS REALLY GOOD and it’s quite upbeat which seems to suit nini’s character / personality when i’ve chatted with her so far !! #lookingforwardtowayyymore!!

@flwrstqr — washing machine by vanishing girl ; this song is so cutesy and like ??? okay that’s the epitome of dani ??? like whenever we’ve talked, she gives off that energy & her instagram reflects this song to me imo ?? this song has been on LOOP . it’s addicting just like her & her awesome works 💗

@ourhees — hold on by the internet or valentina by daniel caesar ; THERE’S TWO SONGS FOR SAV BECAUSE… i was a little conflicted and couldn’t stick to one !!! so !!! first off, hold on, because… the song has a soothing / calming vibe to it ?? and that feeling is always common with me when interacting with sav ^^ like the song itself is very alluring and i think that speaks for itself… AND THEN VALENTINA!!! similar to hold on, and was my original choice for this until hold on appeared in my liked songs & played… so i had to assign it to sav!! these songs just make sense to me in my head 🫠

THE END ♡ who knew choosing songs could be difficult.. i tried to match it accordingly !!

[kang-yina]

You can call me Raven and my pronouns are she/they/it. I am an adult and though I dont post explicit nsfw content and tag as "nsfw" whenever I reblog a meme thats is slightly nsfw, I do not recomend to very young people see my tumblr.

I am an ADHDer (late diagnosed, but i have severe adhd and its combined type lol) and i have an anxiety diagnosis, though i suspect of some other thingies.

I am a lesbian and although I mostly use the word lesbian to describe my identity, I am also asexual, demiaro and nonbinary (tme), I'm one of the people that would describe my gender as lesbian, in my case I'm totally okay with being refered as a girl but i know not everyone is okay with that so please don't do this with others!

As some would've noticed my english is not the best, my first language is brazilian portuguese (ela/elu) and i can communicate in english and spanish (ella/elle). I'm currently studying korean an plan to be a polyglot at some point, I'm also constantly exercising my english and spanish cause i really want to be fluent someday.

My tumblr account is mostly dedicated to my hiperfixations, current or not, I'm also always reblogging posts and sometimes saying bullshit. My fandoms are: eah, mh (any gen), nevermore, paperteeth, amphibia, toh, su, sci, bottoms, tlok and atla, rwby, she-ra, house md..., mean girls, wicked, heathers (other musicals too), the green manga and datm. And i probably read or watched anything sapphic so if you like something sapphic and needs to talk about it, you can totally use an ask, i accept recommendations too.

Something that i really enjoy is music, so I might post something music related once in a while, I'm a kpopper since i was a pre teen and I talk a lot about the girlgroup Loona and its extensions (units, solos (ofc this includes artms, loosemble, chuu and yves)). I am also a new bat (goth), so I'm really invested in rock music, my other fav music genres are eletronic and pagode (brazilian genre). Something that i deeply love are solo acts made by women, my fave singers are always women, my faves are, in that order: Mitski, Fiona Apple and Solange Knowles. Coming back to the kpop talk, i love girlgroups and woman soloists, my utt groups are loona, exo and 2ne1, and my utt bias are Choerry, Hyunjin and Suho.

My other interests are biology (which im majoring to), and literature (which i plan to major someday lmao), i love some good old classics, I'm studying to be a teacher so this might be considered an interest i guess (?). I love queer and goth media in general. Other subjects that i enjoyed in school were sociology, history, portuguese, english and spanish, oh and I'm an artist and often post fanart, i plan to make comics someday. I also enjoy a lot of craft related things, my adhd makes me want to learn everything lol... Oh and I'm a poor eah collector that have 2 monster highs and im very normal about the things that i ship.

[dayoungs]

excited about girl group music in a way i haven't been in a very long time and wrote about some of my favorite bsides of the year for nothing other than my own amusement! very long so after the first one it's all under the cut but if u read my ramblings i would love to hear ur faves from this year as well !!

this was nmixx's year. glad to shake off my initial dislike of them- it feels like they've finally hit their stride and i am seriously impressed. they gel so well as unit and there r genuinely no weak links in their lineup (go watch their tiny desk korea set now!) really like both the albums they put out but this bside/pre-release is the standout for me. lily goes insane in this, and i have a soft spot for any signs of fiddle / country influence in kpop because it's so rare (i earnestly think there should be more of it). it's weird with a point instead of being disjointed for the sake of it, and it works! we love you nmixx - probably the gg i feel most invested in right now

oh what a pleasant lovely gorgeous surprise to enjoy this album so entirely. i think loossemble's post ot12 identity as a group has been maybe the hardest to parse out, and with this release they really shine. this song has everything - bouncy chorus, chanty post-chorus, fun little one-off rap lines, some really delicate and pretty vocal parts, a BRIDGE. hyunjin fits perfectly into the main vocal slot with a level of performance i can't believe was hidden away from us for years. loossemble works so well as a group, and you can see plainly how they enjoy this new chapter. my babies forever and ever, excited to see what they do next.

might be album of the year- it's for sure the most cohesive as a single unit. stays true to the kinds of sounds and textures that longtime fans will find familiar, and tries some cool new stuff as well. i'm not a huge fan of a lot of the stuff regarding it's rollout, and i genuinely think the virtual angel music video ruined any real impact the song could've had, but the actual music makes up for it. i could've chosen almost any song, but sparkle is my favorite. it just itches my brain in the perfect way, and i loveeee girl group music that sounds glittery and fizzy. their voices together and the amount of layering is heavenly. i think artms has a really strong musical identity established in just one album, and i'm ready to see what they're able to do.

i like an aespa bside !!!!!!!! the day has arrived. aespa are no doubt the group of the year- the success they've seen (off an insane song like supernova, no less) is unprecedented for them and for sm as a company as well. i've been a critic of them in the past, but like nmixx, i think they've really come into their own in the past year on the title track end of things. their albums have been pretty spotty in terms of consistency and quality- i'm not sure where the disconnect on their team is. their latest, whiplash, is absolutely a step in the right direction, and flowers is the standout. aespa should make rnb forever and ever, it suits them so well. i like my aespa music with a slightly darker tone, and delivers. ning ning and winter kill it on this, and karina and giselle (i am also surpised) pull their weight as well.

is this my song of the year? it really, really might be. i haven't kept up much with billlie, and i'm so glad this didn't slip through the cracks for me. trampoline is addicting. it's such a complete feeling song, truly one of the highest compliments i can think of in today’s 2:20 minute no bridge no post chorus musical climate. every element is interesting enough to both stand on its own and work in tandem - vocals, rap, scatting, chanting, etc. an OUTRO after the final chorus (which is my favorite thing that songs never do enough). the mini album as a whole is incredibly solid as well- it has a groovier, slightly more mature gwsn-esque sound that i haven't heard in kpop in what feels like a long time. we love u billlie, i Will be seated for the next release.

[VARIOUS CRASHING NOISES AS GIRL GROUP/DREAMCATCHER ANON SCREECHES IN HERE SUMMONED BY THE MENTION OF ARTMS]

hi sorry i’ve been meaning to send this for days and just haven’t had the time/energy to get down all my thoughts. oh MAN where to even begin.

1. just in terms of the music - if icarus is not your thing, i would still recommend giving their debut virtual angel a try! it’s a lot more upbeat while still retaining some of the ~mystical qualities + provides a feel for what their sound is when there’s more energy to it. (if you watch the mv, i strongly recommend making sure that it’s tagged with “human eye version” bc the other version’s editing deploys a much more extreme level of flashing.) you also might like their song birth - it’s another slowish track, but the sound leans much more towards distorted rock vibes + is v spooky tonally. plus! THAT mv incorporates more of the cool creepy illustrations :D

2. while artms’s lore can definitely be appreciated by itself, it’s also heavily informed/influenced by lore from the “parent group” loona. (tbh: loona’s fictional lore AND irl-events-that-actually-happened lore are complex enough that i’m having A Time figuring out how to explain this next part w/o excess detail and i apologize if it’s confusing.)

very VERY long story short: the og loonaverse lore was essentially about the members being split into 3 subunits across individual worlds, and trying to find a way to unite across dimensions — they had really surreal mvs and a lot of their early fanbase was built through people getting interested in their intricate clue-based storytelling just to figure out wtf was going on. in 2019 jaden jeong, their original producer/creative director/guy in charge of all this, parted ways with the group’s old company blockberry creative. jj outright said that this was due to creative differences and bbc wanting to pull back on how much the lore influenced group activities. (after his departure loona *did* continue to release abstract mvs with references to the establised lore, but the fandom was and remains really divided on if any of those added something of substance to the storyline/themes or not.)

THEN: in late 2022-2023, the loona members successfully sued bbc to get out of their exploitative contracts. artms is made up of the girls who chose to redebut with modhaus, the agency jj established himself a few years ago - they’ve talked at length about maintaining a good relationship with him even after he left bbc, and about their creative reunion now being really meaningful for everyone involved. the members frequently describe artms as their second chance, and afaik the majority of their fandom is made up of longer-term stans who found them through loona. also, jj’s made comments over the years about having a much bigger plan for the loonaverse’s narrative + being really disappointed that he couldn’t continue with it.

all of that maths out to artms’s lore including a lot of loona in its dna — the odd eye circle subunit, filming mysterious teasers in iceland, etc. like i said before, artms can 100% be appreciated and analyzed by itself (it would be suuuuuch a poor marketing choice if any potential new artms fans had to engage with roughly 6-7 years of loonaverse backlog omg), but if you or the anon who initially recced icarus were wondering about the context of a seemingly rookie girl group releasing an elaborate bizarro short film with cool visuals…………..here it is, lmao.

that all being said: i’m so sorry about the length of this unsolicited essay + just gonna send a separate message wrt my itzy thoughts haha. i hope you’re doing well! have a good week <3

First, than you for sending me this very fascinating lore & band backstory. I love that the girls successfully sued the company and went with the producer that had the more interesting creative vision. The fact that they took a risk (Idols, and I would say especially female idols taking things to court can result in some very serious backlash) in order to keep working with the OG producer says good things about everyone all around.

Alas, I think I just don't like this sound - the soft dulcet female voices harmonizing prettily .... is just not my thing. I'm very much trying to figure out now why it is I feel so intrigued by and into Itzy when I don't feel as drawn to either Red Velvet or Artms's sound. I need to get stuck into it soon, because obviously there's something there in Itzy that's doing it for me, and I'd like to know what that is.

I'm sad I can't follow you into artms fandom. It looks like it's a really good time, especially because of the overlap between the determination and unity (yes?) within the actual people in the band and the story they're telling with their lore.

250620 - KIM LIP

[sjournsni]

I love loona

Loona was my life but I've lost the same passionate feeling I've had for them years ago, I'd fill notebooks with details about them, I'd imagine in my head designs for their performances/stages/outfits and sub-units, I'd plan out stories on their lore... nowadays I've stopped but still I'll share what descriptions I use for them:

Heejin:

Passionate on the outside pretty much a dork on the inside it's Loona's dangun (founder), Heekkie <3

(Heejin mentioned how the company (FUCK BBC) always told her to look soft, innocent and natural (its a shame because she looks good with the contact lens), nowadays she has a more charismatic and i'd say 'sharp' public image especially the heejin in ARTMS, I think the closest she's ever come to this during loona era is the Not Friends MV) and about expectations... she's always done the best of whatever concept that the company would throw at her so i shouldnt be that surprised at how well she's doing now)

Hyunjin:

The girl who will one day tilt the world on its axis, by being sheer impossible to figure out, it's Loona's barking Aeongie <3

(I'll admit out of everyone I've always thought she'd be the first one to leave and pursue an acting career but then again she had the longest trainee time if im not mistaken so maybe this shouldn't be a surprise (she will sing no matter what), to me in Loona she'd always been this mischievous weird character but nowadays i think she has a bit more soothing quality to her that matches her voice maybe after she became a leader she mellowed out slightly. Her voice in 'Lady in the Rainy Night' on King of Masked Singer is my favourite ever pls pls sing an ost pls)

Haseul:

She's the woman god told you to fear, with a swish of her wand the mighty would tremble, it's Loona's momseul <3 #Always_With_Haseul (please this is so cringy)

(omg who is this sexy woman wowwwwww again public image of her that ive had before was cozy... mum but elegant... but cozy idk? again ARTMS totally changed the 1/3 girls,,, she looks sharper? nowadays but you know she's always been described by the rest of moon girls as the one that'd wear high heels to the salon even if there was nothing on their schedule and she's always had a rich girl feel to her so i think this side of her isn't new at all, still waiting for her to showcase her opera skill on an official song though)

Yeojin:

Loona's very own Syupeo Ulteura Pingping Pongpong Gwiyeopgo Kkamjjikan YeoJinie <3 

YEOJIN THE WOMAN THAT YOU ARE (she's always been my bias and when she was in BBC I was so glad that they let her open her ig acc because she slayed like pose, face card, body ATE anyhow the difference between her now and her then is she is expressing her more sensual (like that sunmi's full moon cover)? side which is something i know BBC wouldn't have let them do)

Vivi:

A deer, shy and reserved but oh so powerful, her potential untapped, its Loona's adorable matnae, Hwang Ara <3

(Viviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I have to be honest i never understood other people's obsession with her while she's in loona but I get it now lol she's so.. chill? and effortlessly funny, but out of the 12 her image I'd say is the most constant thing ever since loona days I'd like to see her do a spooky concept or what and completely shed her innocent soft image that she did since predebut girl like do some horror concept or what (i think she wants to as well) and maybe like... youtube channel? pls vivi)

Kim Lip:

Tsundere and chic but you can hear her pterodactyl scream from a mile away it's Loona's meme Lippie <3

(I think kim lip as well haven't really changed as much? or maybe it's because I don't pay attention to artms as much as loossemble my bad but anyways even during loona era I noticed she's very very ambitious and determined that i thought maybe she'd release another solo song? or go solo but she's a good team player and even when she's considered as like main vocal in loona (considered by fans because they didnt have official titles) I've always thought her voice was underutilized, thank god she's free)

Jinsoul:

Her voice is like a pattering of rain as it calms your soul, her humor impossible to ignore, it's Loona's Jindori <3

(Jinsoul... wow where do I start, I love her voice, I'm glad Odd-eye is still going strong and I love love the idea of her self-composing, producing writing and all that on an entire album and maybe releasing a song like 'As Time Goes On' ...pls? and whoever is styling the artms girls... chef's kiss to every single stylist coordinator wtvr because they've looked great since debut also i m glad she chose tiger now as her representative animal instead of continuing with the blue betta fish bs cuz thats too specific lol)

Choerry:

She's the sun, so bright you can't really approach her, giving you warmth it's Loona's Choili <3

(Choerry has always been portrayed by BBC as this very bright, very cheerful girl and she is,, but in ARTMS we get to see a more sentimental poignant image of her AND IM GLAD because she kills it, i wish loona was given the chance to explore darker concepts like this but anyways she's one of the reason why i was okay when Loona split up because I'll be honest outside of the stage she doesn't attract my eye at all, loona has some really big personalities and with 12 people it's hard to pay attention to each individual, she shines more in ARTMS)

Yves:

Known as the bellybutton thief, she has the world in her grasp, it's Loona's comedian Yves <3 (wtf sheprobably did 1 random thing but idk why ive attributed that fact to her thats so weird)

I JUST NEED SOME SPACE (I love her song!! I love the creative direction she's going!!! I love it all and she's so good at it, I love the dancing skills she showcase! Her song is so her and idk how to describe it any other way, if you notice the kind of pictures/selfies she posts on insta, the vibe of those pictures are like the songs she's releasing, so everything she releases feels so authentic and I wouldn't trade it for anything else (diorama remains as my fav))

Chuu:

Winning everyone's hearts one by one, one at a time, it's Loona's lesbian icon Chuu<3

(I knew she'd go solo at some point and I'm glad she did I absolutely love her songs and especially the fact that she's singing a full song instead of just the high note or the random rap added in (Chuu's howl has a special place in my heart). it's kinda crazy how she's able to feel so... sincere? and after the whole boycott fiasco I see a new side of her, I thought she's this cutie pie, harmless and entertaining and she's that but she's also fierce, protective and steadfast. I never doubted her ability as a singer but I kinda want to see her release an album that mixes howl and strawberry rush vibes)

Gowon:

Her voice shakes you to your core, her rap even more so it's Loona's kind, crunchy, godwon <3

(This photoshoot with mu_gung shook me to my very core Idk how to explain it but when you have someone that looks incredibly doll-like do a concept like this it's so... beguiling? enchanting? It's like seeing an ethereal being in a forest luring me in. Anyways Gowon's got potential, she's so charming and she has what it takes to succeed but even in loossemble I've never seen her tap into her potential? so to speak, I think she needs a change in approach to the idol stuff since now there's an oversaturation of cutesy idols, I want her to do something like babymetal)

Hyeju:

Assarabia, columbia, don't raise up, don't put down Loona's boss baby and watermelon-carver, Hyejoo <3

(gosh where do i even start with Hyeju? From the very start she has been one of the most popular, most well-liked but BBC photoshopped her so many times that if I only judge her from their social media back then i'd have thought she's least-liked. She talked (publicly) about her hardship as a trainee the most I think, I wondered how badly they treated the girl. Anyways my most lasting impression of her was near her debut where she stuck her head out of acar and said "Look at me! Look at me from now on! Don't look at anyone else" and honestly yeah it's hard to tear your eyes away from her especially now)

I honestly don't know what to say I miss them and I miss the me that was a fan of them, writing this actually reignited my love for them but unfortunately I can't dedicate my time actively watching and cheering them on anymore and it's a shame, I hope the girls thrive for a long time after this,,,

[iron-sides]

for the ask game: 3, 28, 30 (idk if it’s cheating to ask multiple if it is just do whatever will be most fun)

hi!! theres no such thing as cheating in an ask game so you can ask however many you like! recently sent in an ask to an ask game with like 10 bc it was like "tell ppl what u think of their fic" and i had a lot to say 💀

3. 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?

oughhh ok ok ok. i have four 😭 my top two are mamma mia!: the movie & now you see me & then pitch perfect & legally blonde trade off for the third top three spot (<- guy who loved comedies & chick flicks)

30. what’s one thing that never fails to make you happy/happier?

talking to my bestie, the sun on my face, seeing a ladybug, a nice chai tea, complimenting a strangers shirt or smth & them telling me where they got it-- i love the little things :)

28. do you collect anything?

i do!! i used to collect glass soda bottles & i like kind of still do in theory but much slower now than i used to & i collect loona (kpop group) albums! (you have unlocked an unskippable cutscene but ill put the infodump below the cut lol)

ok so first heres the loona collection bc im proud of it >:)

so i only have a few of their bbc era things (thats first six things you see) because the fandom is boycotting so i have to get them secondhand :( but! even tho ive misplaced strawberry rush, i have everything not being boycotted except loosemble's self-titled first album!

basically during bbc era loona were a 12-membered kpop girlgroup who debuted one at a time & then in smalled subunits (like a group within a group), so i have love&live, the loona 1/3 debut (loona 1/3 is heejin, hyunjin, haseul, and vivi), choerry's solo debut (i have the choerry & jinsoul version but it is choerrys solo lol), chuu's solo, and gowon's solo (also the version with chuu but still her solo)!

from loona's ot12 era i have # (their third release), not friends (technically a subunit called loona x consisting of heejin, kim lip, jinsoul, and yves, but its after they all debuted together), and flip that, their last release as twelve before they all sued their management & the boycott started.

from the post-bbc era, i have everything but loosemble's debut. so there's howl, chuu's first solo comeback; version up, odd eye circle's first comeback (odd eye circle were a pre-debut subunit consisting of kim lip, jinsoul, and choerry); K, heejin's first solo comeback, one of a kind, loosemble's first comeback (loosemble are a new unit that formed under different management consisting of loona members hyunjin, yeojin, vivi, gowon, and hyeju-- they'd previously debuted with loosemble, their self-titled album, but i dont have it sadly); DALL (devine all love & live), ARTMS's debut (artms are another new unit under new management consisting of heejin, haseul, kim lip, jinsoul, and choerry); loop, yves's first solo comeback; strawberry rush (not pictured), chuu's second solo comeback; and TTYL, loosemble's second comeback.

i LOVE to talk about this so if ur interested PLEASE hmu i have a whole kpop sideblog over at @astertheworld & most of it is loona lol

2024 Music Recap (Top 100 Tracks Only)

This activity is now a yearly tradition! As a reminder, I only listed up to 100 songs due to Tumblr's URL policy, so this list may not be all-inclusive. The video I selected to grace the cover of this post (I know it sounds cheesy) is Felix's "UNFAIR"! Does anyone else think the first verse sounds like a mix of Seungmin (leading), I.N., & Lee Know instead of Felix himself?
