Another song about, uhhh, probably about escaping the capitalist rat wheel, definitely not about, idk, banging each other stupid while the world burns because you set it on fire, because Christopher 'I'll fulfill all your fantasies' Bang would never.

And yet.



I cannot fucking believe we got both a Red Lights flashback (the chains, that was legit an actual clip) and Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet reference (the fish tank scene). I appreciate it but I cannot believe it.

Idk what kind of deranged shifters escaped from a being experimented on dystopian grimy romance movie I am watching but I would like 120mins more of it, like take my money.

Guess who has two thumbs and covid? This bitch *points at self* I've progressed from 'a little achy' to 'cannot brain anything except YT because unadvisable body temperature'.

This is the perfect fever watching tho because wow, like absolute insanity. The end frame feels like a Leviathan reference even though it isn't like exact match or anything. but the vibes ya'kno.

Firstly, Namjoon is like, yeah, let me just like, talk to you about some feelings I'm feeling and some thoughts I'm thinking, and  honestly, I'm glad that he can do that without having to give a flying fuck about it being palatable or easy.




Secondly, SKZ dropped this goddamn bop which is a constant visual and audio attack. Chan at the start slayed me. Changbin's vocals, hello. Felix looks like a fucking Elfquest character. Seungmin continues to bias wreck me in a way that is dub-con at best.




SVT are at it. I am still not over Woozi's fucking hair in this. Or Wonwoo's action start aesthetic really.




But also, then we got this hip-hop unit drop and i know everyone is having conniptions over Mingyu's chest but, uh, excuse you Jeon Wonwoo, can you not?




And then, yes, TXT dropped some new stuff recently too and I really have enjoyed that comeback as a whole, but this fancam of the Yeonjun and Soobin doing Killa came on my feed today and you have to cope with the near hysterical screaming from the audience but it's worth it for *gestures mutely*



Anyway, the point is that there is a lot of real world shit happening in the world at the moment and these parasocial relationships are honestly the least harmful coping mechanism one could be expected to reach so.

You may have noticed that I am four days and four ficlets short of completing my self-imposed Spooktober writing challenge. Reason for that is Life. But I will be catching up during the early days of Nightmarish November :D I have ideas for all of them so they will appear, alongside a proper update hopefully this weekend.

In the meanwhile, have this most appropriate of performances as we flip the calendar to winter...

YT algorithm just spat this at me and god damn, I don't think I breathed for the whole 8mins. Outstanding.

We interrupt this radio silence (just, Wheel of Time is taking up my spare time and I'm also going through the stages of grief regarding the fact that I may need to find somewhere new to live ughhhh do not wanna) to post this.




Right. Well. Yes. I have read actual vampire fics that are less, uh, dedicated to the genre. Absolutely feral over the fact that this is framed as the boys asking to be bitten so they can become someone's dedicated sidekick/protector/property etc. Outstanding.

no. no, i cannot. this is too much emotional damage that has been inflicted on me this week by korean boys. been batted around the emotional scales like a fucking ping pong ball by Yoongi already and now SKZ drop this like 'hey, how about, idk tenth album in like ten seconds' and 'oh look we went for the over dressed and unhinged concept for the lols'



i choked on air at chan's segment. no one talk to me. goodbye.

they are not, like, particularly deep thoughts. but here we go: 1) Jihoon starting us off?! Jihoon shirtless!? (this is the weird and weirdly alluring 'strategic bandages' look Chan rocked in Thunderous, I am... not mad about it). WHAT HAPPENED, DID HE LOSE A BET? 2) Those trousers on everyone are objectively ridiculous. 3) No one should look good in a mullet. And yet, Seongcheol.

Well this was always going to be today's post. The whole album bangs extremely hard but this MV came for my motherfucking throat. Jesus fuck, Yoongi, none of this was necessary, I only have room in my life for one gangster fic can we not?

listen, this is a group with two AI 'members' which alone blows my mind, like what a time to be alive, eh? anyway, absolutely no idea what is happening with their lore or whatever but the tune is catchy and the video definitely is a mood of some kind.
