We'll return to fic recs tomorrow but today's post is brought to you by my entirely irrational emotions over this man. *incoherent sobbing*




no. why? NO.

I've enjoyed pretty much all the solos and collabs BTS members have done but a recent highlight for me is this one. Her vibe is Extremely Up My Alley and I've been enjoying rest of her music as well.



Bonus live performance

Today has been a Monday and I do not wish to deal with reality. Therefore, a live performance of my favourite song from TXT's latest mini-album, which I loved wholly and unabashedly. Like yes please, give me this Lost Boys fairycore Neverland vibe, thank you.

Good evening all, and happy April. Did you get any good April Fools today?

I threatened you with a good time promise to post every day this month and it is happening. [personal profile] pushkin666 and I dared each other and that's how these things go.

Ngl, a lot of these posts are going to be videos of some boys dancing but... content is content is content, and being active on DW is good for my mental health. I've been tired and meh lately which may because of the meds, so am just trying to combat that a bit as well.

Anyway, I did say 'boys dancing' and I don't like to disappoint. Artbeat is at it, here are two recent BTS medley battle performances. Enjoy.

ahhh, legit going slightly feral over these boys because not only does this new song bang, it is the queer child of their queer undergrOund idOl series of solos (i screeched about them here and here) and they kept the same pairings and I just... I... ahhh! YooJung's goddamn bonnet caress (idk what rent boy au i am watching but KB looks like he's about to make that purchase), Rie's IKEA rainbow laundry bag (I SEE YOU), the crop tops (that's right, crop tops are queer now, i said it)... Absolutely immaculate vibes, why they aren't fucking bigger I don't understand.


*incoherent queer sobbing*

The cummerbunds. Changbin's fucking collar choker. Chan on the drums (please kindly fuck off). The choreo at the start? Absolute chef's kiss. Jeongin? ON NOTICE. (boy, what is this cocky af shit you are pulling, i am not emotionally ready)

quite the... contrary, shall we say.

Anyway, the MV and two performances. For... idk, reference? Evidence?

Aaaahhhh! NEW FOB MUSIC, NEW FOB MUSIC!!! This sounds so good, still recognisably them but also something new. I also super enjoyed the MV, special shout out to...
  • the book titles ('crime and punisment at the disco', 'where the wild things MCR')
  • Pete's braids
  • Pete's tank top (what is that, why don't I hate it?)
  • Patrick's voice as always
  • EMO ISLAND, I CACKLED



Anyway, whilst we are waitng for the new album (end of March drop!!!) Remind yourself just how fucking amazing Patrick sounds live. Every single song I just went 'ngghhh his vooooooooooice'. And of course, starting with Sugar is... *chef's kiss*

Firstly, OMFG FALL OUT BOY ARE FINALLY ABOUT TO DROP SOME NEW MUSIC. It's been SO FUCKING LONG but in five days! I am literal grabby hands for this, PatrickPeteJoeAndyMyBoys! The teaser clip gives strong Infinity on High vibes and oh yes, oh yes, the lyrics do not disappoint... every lover's got a little dagger...

In the current obsession news, here are two of the recent Golden Disc Award performances that gave me feelings.

Here's Stray Kids in outfits that don't feel exactly... legal. Some observations:
  • Minho's shirt zipper had one job and yet...
  • Chan seems physically incapable to stop smiling. He's So Happy to be on stage with his boys, hyping them up
  • Binnie's glasses
  • Jeongin is following his leader's example re crop tops. I'm not... Actually, you know what, I am angry about it. HOW DARE?
  • Felix is doing the same with the bicep cuff. But also his little hair clip ponytail is leaving me slightly feral ngl.
  • The growling. Unnecessary. Chan and Hyunjin, check yourselves pls
  • Jisung's little tickle of Chan's chin? idfk why but it was cute
  • Freeze was an inspired choice here between the two other more upbeat/lighter songs




And here's SEVENTEEN... in outfits that are... some kind of mix between raincoats and combat fabric? I'm not entirely sure it works but... Some observations:
  • Who gave Hoshi a flamethrower?
  • Woozi is feeling himself throughout this performance and it shows. Sir, can you stop, uh, handling your mic quite so, uh. Look at him eating up the start of Don Quixote
  • S. Coups' hair is so fluffyyy
  • I'm SO HAPPY we got Cheers live stage. Look at Hoshi's face just before he throws it back,  pure smug glee. Justified.
  • Is Seungkwan feeling up S. Coups' chest part of the choreo? Perhaps?

Remember while back when I posted the first 4 MVs of OnlyOneOf's Be series of linked solo songs. Anyway, we now have the last two in the series and while the school romance (with cw for homophobic bullying) is less my thing than what we got in the previous vids, these are still so, so lovely. OnlyOneOf continuing to be LGBT+ champions. For extra feels, read the message in the last vid's description on YT.

and by 'them' i mean these two performances







look. look, it's just... a lot all in all. pretty sure i watched both of these vids with a hand clamped firmly over my mouth because it's late and people are sleeping and i had to muffle several outraged squeaks. special mention this time go to Minho who winked every. single. time. the camera focused on his face and since it's a good face that was a lot of winking, and Jeongin who... well, he straight up eyefucked that camera and i for one did not sign up for that, so.

Well Happy Almost New Year to you all! Fireworks are cancelled because of wind and rain but we have Plenty of Drink and Snacks and we just watched the absolute new year classic so sharing the joy.



I have signed up for [community profile] getyourwordsout once more, largely because I love their word count tracker and want access to it again. Currently am trying to work out the final word count for the year which is trickier than you'd think considering the amount of co-written stuff I have atm...

Hope you all have a lovely 2023, thanks for making my life brighter with your posts and by existing.

Hello, yes, I am alive and yes, I am working on an update (preview: toomuchworkcottageholwithDDnotlongenoughbutwewrotestuff) but Stray Kids dropped their SKZ-Player collection today and in addition to weeping over the joy of having such bangers like Drive (it's about driving just fyi) and Maknae on Top on Spotify fucking finally, we have vid of FAM and whilst I have heard it and even seen clips of this particular performance this still made me Extremely Emotional, LOOK AT THEIR FACES.



Anyway, I'm gonna go and cry into my pillow about this for a bit and then maybe, idk, proofread some fic. Maybe even post stuff.

Am I slow catching up with content? Yes. Because despite what it looks like, I can't in fact spend 100% of my time staring at their faces. However. This... They are SO PSYCHED to be sharing a stage with their role model '(legendary like Tiger JK!' Chan's little shout!) and generally just... stupidly badass and adorable at the same time. How is that even possible? The whole thing is akin to slam poetry set to some music.



p.s. in case you're wondering, yes i am aware of RM's album, i have listened/watched the title track and, as predicted, been an emotional wreck about it, which is why i have not yet listened to the whole album because i don't have the time to just like feel feelings for a full day which is what's going to happen.

Well, here's another thing from the MAMA that slapped me in the face and then kicked me in the stomach and then laughed when I lay there, wheezing.

Hoseok. How dare?

Anyway, this dropped. It's... an experience. First of all, Hyunjin has fully self-actualised into his supervillain era and I'm here for it. The entrance, god damn, I choked. That entire middle sequence with him and Felix was... I would read that fic and expect it to come with various morally grey tags. Secondly, Chan's bicep now requires double-strapping and I can only bear witness. Thirdly, everything else. Everyone else. Like Seungmin looked stupid good. Jeongin was fucking feeling himself. Ugh, them. Excuse me while I re-watch this about a million times, thanks, bye.

Here's a group I've been enjoying for a while, and not just because of the below solo songs, though they are the ones I'm posting today FOR POSTERITY because... Well, please watch (in order, for the story). What we have here are explicit (I mean 'clearly' not 'x-rated) m/m love stories acted out by the group members which is a huge deal and a huge risk for a group with a relatively small status and following. The songs are also beautiful and all on my 2022 Faves playlist, but the videos are...

Gorgeous. I am having an emotion. Multiple, even. Really hoping we get two more videos (for the two remaining group members) and a happy ending for this last couple!

Godchild has been retrieved and is currently fast asleep on the sofa. I'm about to try and catch up with Wheel of Time book summary.

In the meanwhile, please enjoy some more witchy music.

Have I been awake about 39hours now? Yes. Did I get some motherfucking work done? Motherfucking yes. To celebrate, here is another video on theme Wicked Women Rule You If You Beg Nicely Enough For It.



Also sleep, going to celebrate by doing some sleeping now.
