It was a language of few words and minute facial expressions, and John had learned that it was nearly the only way to have an honest conversation with his eccentric flat mate.

I Think I've Come A Long Long Way To Sit Before You Here Today by ArwenKenobi (T, 18,251 w., 3 Ch. || Grief/Mourning, Passage of Time, Major Character Death, Alternating POV, Sherlock Whump, Pining Sherlock, Hospitalization, Coma, Revenge Murders, Hallucinations, Love Confessions, Brutal Accident, Mystrade, Ghost John) – One year after John is killed Sherlock starts to wonder whether John has actually gone anywhere.

It goes about as well as anyone could have anticipated. Which is to say, very, very poorly. Don't worry, things'll be fine in just seven days.

Only To Be With You by SinceWhenDoYouCallMe_John (M, 40,768 w., 4 Ch. || Black Mirror / Future AU || Character Death, Future Technology, Sickness/Cancer/Illness, Heavy Angst with Happy Ending, First Person POV John, Pining John, Heart-Wrenching Angst) – I tell myself that next time I’ll come near this same place again. Wait around for the mysterious stranger in his coat to dash past me, hot on the heels of a new criminal in black. I think this all the way back to my Exit, planning where I’ll wait and what I’ll say when I see him. Scheming on how to get his name. It’s only once I reach the Exit Point door that I realize two hours and forty-five minutes have passed, and I realize that this won’t be the last time I Visit. It won’t be the last time at all.

John had seemed, if not happy, then reasonably content with his life. Sherlock had never predicted something like THIS might have happened. Not in his worst nightmares. He was the lousiest friend ever, apparently. At least Mycroft found him something to occupy his mind with, so that he didn't have to go back to 221B and stare at the walls and the chair, where John Watson would never sit again.

Fukigen na Mononokean Ch. 61

An Underworld botany lesson and some unfortunate memories being stirred up this month... Also some cute art hyping up S2 before the chapter~!

Please remember to check out the official English release when it comes out, preferably on Crunchyroll if you’re able to!

The newest chapter can be read on the official website by clicking the yellow button labeled 読む!

Fukigen na Mononokean Chapter 61 - Small Seeds

Page 3

Princess: Cough...

Koura: Princess...

Princess: Coughh.

Princess: Cough...

Koura: The medicine worked, so your fever is going down, but

You'll end up collapsing again if you overuse your spiritual power.

Koura: It'd be better if you rested a while...

Princess: I cannot.

Page 4

Princess: The curses are getting closer to the Underworld... Right now, I'm spreading my divine protection to exorcise them...

Princess: I will protect the Underworld.

Koura: (I wish she would rest, but...

It's as the princess says. The Underworld could be exposed to those curses if this continues...)

Koura: !

Koura: I wonder, was it today?

Princess: ?

Koura: The Mononokean should be going to survey outside of the Underworld, on the orders of the three officials.

Princess: The Mononokean...?

Page 6

Ashiya: (The forest...)

Page 7

Ashiya: (Rather than a bunch of trees, it looks more like a tangled system of roots...)

Ashiya: (Demon-infesting curses are everywhere inside this forest...)

Abeno: Ashiya...

Abeno: This is our job.

Page 8

Ashiya: !

Ashiya: I smell something sweet. (It's kind of delicious...)

Abeno: This is what's giving off that scent.

Ashiya: So it's a flower! The branch is twisted like a bonsai.

Abeno: This is a curse flower.

Ashiya: Curse...?!

Page 9

Abeno: The real identity of this plant is a curse that takes over demons.

It's called a yakubyou plant.

(TL: “Yakubyou (疫病)” is an infectious disease, but here it’s written ''厄病" with the kanji for misfortune and sickness instead. I'm just gonna wait to see what CR uses instead of trying to come up with something, lol.)

Abeno: A "curse" is similar to what you'd call an illness in the Mundane world... I've told you that before, right?

Ashiya: Yes. (When we exorcised the big boss Scree...)

Abeno: What you're smelling is the flower's nectar.

Abeno: Any demon that breathes it in will become ill.

Ashiya: Ngh?! (I was deeply breathing it in!!)

(Ashiya: Ah... I'm human so it's okay.)

Abeno: Yakubyou plants secrete the nectar as a medium for infecting demons.

When the flowers bloom, they release a scent and spread the virus through the air.

Ashiya: (I have a question.) ...Then,

What happens to a demon after they breathe it in?

Page 10

Abeno: According to Koura, it starts with a fever and cough... The symptoms that show up resemble a cold, but...

Abeno: It will weaken a demon's spiritual energy. In serious cases, it ends in death.

Ashiya: ......

Abeno: A demon can infect others with it, so it can quickly turn into an epidemic.

Abeno: ...That said, medicine works in the early stages.

Abeno: The thing that doesn't have any effective treatment is the yakubyou plant's seeds.

Ashiya: Seeds...?

Page 11

Abeno: A wide variety of insects that live in the forest

are used to spread those seeds.

Abeno: There's bug that looks like a mosquito on this flower, right?

Ashiya: Huh? Where? Oh, I see it!

Abeno: The insects sniff out the faint fragrance,

And use the flower's nectar and sap as their nourishment.

Abeno: As that happens, the yakubyou plant's seeds

End up inside the insect's stomach, and it becomes a "seed bug."

Ashiya: (The bug has the yakubyou plant's seeds..!?)

Abeno: After a seed bug dies, the seed begins to sprout and spreads its roots. Once it matures and produces flowers, another insect will come and carry its seeds.

Abeno: That's the way yakubyou plants reproduce.

Page 12

Abeno: The seeds drain the insects of their energy so they're constantly hungry.

So they try to ingest a lot of food.

Abeno: For the seeds,

A demon and its spiritual power are a fitting nursery.

Abeno: When seed bugs find demons, they enter their bodies in order to feed off their spiritual energy. (Through places like the mouth, ears, eyes, and skin.)

Abeno: What do you think are the symptoms, for a demon infected by a seed bug?

Abeno: Something sprouting in its body, being unable to move, and their spiritual energy being drained.

Ashiya: ...!

Page 13

Abeno: That's the route of infection that makes a parasitic shrub develop.

Ashiya: Then big boss Scree was infected by a bug...?

Abeno: Yakubyou plants and these insects don't just inhabit the forests. They can also be found in the Mundane world just like demons.

Ashiya: ...In other words, the sources of the curse are yakubyou plants and seed bugs?

Abeno: That's right.

Page 14

Abeno: There shouldn't be anything near the moat with the Princess's divine protection.

Abeno: It'd be rare to find a yakubyou plant, let alone ones that are this mature.

...The flowers have already bloomed, and are gathering insects...

Abeno: Something unusual is happening out here...

Ashiya: ...

[The advancing curses that the Legislator and the other officials were concerned about...

It'd be good if they were just worrying needlessly, but...]

[I should throw away that faint hope.]

[We can't let the yakubyou plants and seed bugs spread their curses into the Underworld.

If we don't stop things here...!]

Page 15

Abeno: Ashiya.

Abeno: Bring me the medicine box from Kiyakudo that you have on your back.

Ashiya: Yes!

Ashiya: There's a lot of medicine and other instruments in here... What are all these little bottles on top?

Abeno: Purifying water that can extinguish a curse.

And...

Shizuku: You're going into the forest?!

Page 16

[At Kiyakudo]

Shizuku: If Itsuki and Hanae get possessed by a curse, this is the most important thing!!

Shizuku: In the unlikely chance that you get possessed, I wrote a guide for how to administer emergency first aid!

And, there's the antiseptic ointment I mixed, and a needle and thread for suturing, and some bandages!

Abeno: A... Alright.

Abeno: ...And that's how a bunch of unnecessary stuff got crammed in.

Ashiya: (I see...) Shizuku-chan doesn't know that we're human, so we really worried her, huh?

Abeno: There was no time to refuse by telling her "humans can't be affected by the curse."

Abeno: It's dangerous, so step back.

Page 17

Ashiya: !

Ashiya: (It's burning...!)

Page 18

Ashiya: !

Ashiya: Cough, cough.

Ashiya: The smoke... cough!

Abeno: The insects won't gather without the yakubyou plant, and they dislike the smoke so it'll drive them deeper into the forest.

As we travel around the moat, we'll search for yakubyou plants and use the purifying water on them.

Abeno: If the flowers are blooming, you should notice the scent. They might get intermingled within other plants when they sprout, so make sure not to overlook any.

If something looks even a little suspicious, let me know.

Ashiya: Roger!

Demon:: ......

Page 19

Demon: Nyuooon.

Ashiya: !?

Ashiya: Nyuon?

Abeno: Ah?

Ashiya: Didn't you hear a cry just now?

Abeno: A cry?

Ashiya: I don't sense any demons... Am I hearing things? (Nyuon...)

Abeno: !

Abeno: You can't rely on sensing presence here.

Ashiya: Eh!?

Page 20

Abeno: The Underworld's full of demons, so pinpointing a particular one is next to impossible.

Abeno: There's a number of conditions, likely due to the forest's curses spreading.

Even if there was a demon around, its aura would be drowned out by it and you wouldn't know.

Abeno: On top of that, the Mononokean won't come to the forest even if I call for it...

It's dark, and the field of view's poor, so if you get lost, it won't be that easy to find a way out...

Ashiya: You can't call the Mononokean...

That's bad, isn't it?

Abeno: It's bad...

Ashiya: ...Abeno-san.

Abeno: ?

Ashiya: Does that mean you've gotten lost in the forest, and tried to call the Mononokean before?

Page 21

Abeno: ......

Abeno: Nn...

Abeno: ...More importantly!

Don't get lost, and be careful!

Ashiya: ?

...Okay.

Ashiya: (...Hm? I wonder I asked something bad...?)

Page 22

Ashiya&Abeno: !!

Ashiya: W-w-what's that?!

Ashiya: ...There's nothing there...

Ashiya: No, no!! It was there!! There was something there!!

Abeno: That cry you heard earlier... It seems it wasn't just you hearing things.

Ashiya: That's definitely the thing that said "nyuon" earlier!! It was sneaking closer to us!!

Ashiya: It's a curse, isn't it?

Abeno: Maybe...? But, there are supposedly escaped fugitives from White Sand Prison in the forests, too...

Ashiya: ("Nyuon" is an escaped fugitive?!)

Abeno: There are also some demons that go into a rage after being cursed.

Humans can't be cursed, but you can still be injured if they attack you.

Be careful so you aren't caught by surprise.

(Abeno: Let's go back outside the forest.)

Ashiya: Yes, sir!

Please focus on scouting for more curses, Abeno-san! I'll watch your back!

Demon: ......

Page 23

Ashiya: Abeno-san! This mushroom looks suspicious!

Is it a yakubyou plant!?

Abeno: That's just a suspicious mushroom. (They grow in the Underworld.)

Abeno: !

Page 25

Ashiya: A demon......

Ashiya: Has that demon... passed away?

Page 26

Abeno: The roots have spread throughout the body...

This is the corpse of a demon possessed by the parasitic shrub.

Ashiya: .......

[This is...]

[What Abeno-san meant when he called the parasitic shrub an "incurable illness" back then....]

[A possessed demon's body at the end...]

Ashiya: ......

Page 27

Abeno: Ashiya... The purifying water.

Ashiya: Yes...

Page 28

Abeno: ?

Ashiya: Safe!! Good thing I made it!! (Nice job, me!)

Abeno: Huh?

Ashiya: Eep!?

Demon: Nyuoo!

Ashiya: Nyuo...!?

Page 29

Ashiya&Abeno: !

Demon: Nyuoon...

Ashiya: (Abeno-san.) That was the cry I heard earlier! (Nyuon!)

Abeno: I wonder if it's been following us ever since...

Ashiya: Is this little one... a demon?

Abeno: Yes... As far as I can tell by looking, it has no signs of being infected by a curse.

Ashiya: Why is it in the forest... Don't tell me, it's an escaped fugitive!?

Abeno: If that's true, we'll hand it over to the Justice.

Either way, now that we've found it, we can't leave it in the forest like this.

Page 30

Ashiya: !?

Abeno: Ow!

Ashiya: The purifying water!!

Page 31

Ashiya: Hey, you!!

Demon: Nyuon!?

Ashiya: I won't let you escape!

Was it your aim to attack Abeno-san!?

Abeno: ......

Abeno: .......

[That demon... If it's been following us,

Then did it see exactly how I used the purifying water to remove the curse?]

[If so, what the demon's really trying to do is...]

Abeno: Rather than me, it was after the medicine.

Ashiya: !?

Page 32

Abeno: Is this the body of your acquaintance?

Ashiya: !

Demon: Nyuon...

Ashiya: !

Demon: Nyuoon...

Page 33

Ashiya: ...!

Ashiya: ...You...

Ashiya: You're protecting their body from being destroyed with the purifying water...?

Demon: Nyuoon.

Ashiya: ...

[It found us as we were burning the yakubyou plants,

And was worried that this body would be destroyed as well...]

[...But, that corpse...]

Page 34

Abeno: I'll take your feelings into consideration, but...

This demon has been taken over by parasitic shrub, and already passed away.

Abeno: After the parasitic shrub has finished draining all the strength from its host, it spreads its roots and grows into a large tree.

From there, innumerable flowers bloom, calling a great number of insects to it, which then become seed bugs...

Abeno: If that happens, there will be even more victims.

In the Underworld, it's decreed that all parasitic shrub remains must be burned through the use of purifying water.

Abeno: We cannot overlook a curse like this.

Demon: ......

Page 35

Ashiya: The Princess's divine protection in the forest has weakened, so it's dangerous right now.

With so many bugs flying around, you could also get possessed if you stay here...!

Ashiya: Come to the Underworld.

Page 36

Ashiya: I don't think it'll let us separate them.

Abeno: There's no choice... I guess we have to catch it.

Demon: Nyu!?

Ashiya: It moved away!

Demon: Nyuuu!!

Page 37

Ashiya: Looks like it understood what we were saying.

Abeno: ...?!

Abeno: (Ashiya!) In the medicine box, there should be something to tie off... there's some bandages!

Ashiya: (Eh!?) Ah, yes! I'll grab it now!

Abeno: Bring the whole thing!

Abeno: It's been possessed by a seed bug!

Page 38

Demon: Nyuoon!

Abeno: Ashiya, keep it still!

Ashiya: Yes!

Page 39

Demon: Nyu...

Demon: ......

Page 40

Demon2: Goodbye!

Let's meet again someday, Nio!

Page 41

Nio: !?

Page 42

Nio: Nyuoooon!!

Nio: Nyuo!

Ashiya&Abeno: !?

Nio: Nyuo!

Nio: Nyuoooon!!

Ashiya: ...

Nio: Nyoo!!

Abeno: ......

Nio: Nyuoon...

Nio: Nyuoon!

Nyoo!

Ashiya: Please don't struggle...!

Ashiya: You'll end up reopening your wounds!

Ashiya: When we looked at the body, there were tons of bugs living there!

If you get close, you'll get infected again! ...So....

Nio: Nyuoon...

Ashiya: So...

Page 43

Ashiya: I'm sorry for doing something so cruel...

To the thing you wanted to protect...

Nio: Uu...

Nio: Grrrrrr...

Page 44

[If the Princess wasn't shielding the Underworld with her divine protection...]

[There would be even more demons like these two. Demons who are possessed by the parasitic shrub, and those who lose their precious ones...]

[Even if this is outside the Underworld, the Princess's divine protection should make it difficult for any curses to take hold.

If it's like before, we won't find any demons that are affected by the parasitic shrub.]

[The Princess's divine protection didn't reach this corpse. More than anything, that's proof of how far the curse has spread...]

Page 45

[I can't let the curse get any closer to the Underworld!]

[The only thing I can do to protect demons is...]

Page 46

Abeno: Everything...

Is for the sake of demons.

[For Aoi's sake.]

more random thoughts as i finish season 2....

some of my favorite moments are when the kids are cheering each other on, its the cutest thing!!!

he yifan and zuo qibo fanboy screaming over liu ye’s rap in ‘boy in luv’ and yu gengyin and cai xukun’s relay chanting “jin ming!” “jia you!’ and ofc “dai jing” “yao na ka!!!!!” hahahahhaha i love their friendship and i love silly gengyin!!! literally even when getting off the car this ep he was so silly and when he was about to go on stage and he was like aight kids i got this, i love seeing him being less stressed ahhhh

OOF THEY LABELED IT AGAIN

awww HE WONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH when it got announced, i literally clutched my chest and was like ‘my childdddddddddd’ aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh honestly i wasnt gonna be surprised if zuo qibo won this round but IM SO PROUD OF XIAO YU awwwwww he did so well!!!! he like worked really hard to give off a mischievous/ bad boy aura and i think it was such a refreshing and well-executed change for him that it left a strong impression c: whereas qibo is normally already very flower boy / nice guy so i dont think it was as impactful for him to continue playing a role he already embodies normally, altho he was very good-looking on this stage!! but gengyin really went out of his way to try to act cool and carry himself with that kind of aura of handsomeness / arrogance that he’s not really used to portraying and im super proud of him for pulling it off :’) continuously saying ‘我不夠壞’ hahhahhaa but similar to in the sakura stage where he was commended for his powerful stage presence, he’s continuing to build on his new improvements and im super happy he’s still riding on this high c: last ep ‘on rainy days’ i was thriving on hearing his voice smooth over those high notes and this ep’s song wasnt as lyrical, but he still managed to get some vocalizations in and im loving all this extra camera time and focus on his eye smiles. watching gengyin just smile and seeing his eyes crinkle up just makes me so happy inside c: oh! and then when he walks back into the waiting room and hes like “yaayy 努力沒有白費 yaaaaayy!!!!!” im just ooof my heart im so happy for him :’)

also i gotta say, huadi’s attitude towards liuye is kinda scary? I know theyre all being competitive and thats the nature of this show but like liu ye kept telling him to back off basically (and not even for his own sake, but bc he knew huadi’s dancing intensity was negatively affecting jin ming and also the cohesiveness of their group overall) and huadi was still like ‘i need to show myself off so i can win’ and i felt like his attitude was off, like ‘obviously im the best, thanks’ which later became ‘i cant believe i lost, what did he do better’ whereas liu ye was also very confident but to me he came off as less intense and more calm. like ‘i know im the best, so you can go ahead and try to upstage me, but ill just do my best on my end and quietly watch you sabotage yourself’ at least thats how i perceived it .-. but idk yea i enjoyed watching liu ye more and it felt like huadi was trying too hard. but i am glad that huadi and muti resolved their issues last ep

daidai’s stage presence during ‘overdose’ tho? he was really handsome!!! i dont normally react much to daidai’s performances but idk this time i really noticed him in contrast to jeffrey and yongju. i think he just seemed more confident than usual and all the little smiles helped. his hair flipping reminded me of muti and his sass LOL

its really interesting to see cai xukun’s progression through this show and how everyone around him reacts as he goes through this growth process. i would say he wasnt given an absurdly greater amount of screentime but you can tell hes been building up credibility and holds a strong rank among the rest. i would say its not realllyy until the last few eps of season 2 that he pulls ahead of the rest by a significant amount. i was always thinking wu muti was a strong competitor to him but after seeing them and he yifan’s stage, it was pretty clear to me that cxk had successfully exceeded everyone else and ascended to his own level. watching the process through which he gradually builds his now-signature stage presence and now-signature voice is really fascinating and near the end of the season, he already can overshadow everyone else. it seems like huadi is very vocal about how handsome kun has become on stage, yifan doesnt hesitate to admit how good kun is, and gengyin has already admitted early on that they all should learn from kun. zuo qibo is also quick to commend kun but then it seems like muti avoids it? i can kinda guess he might be a bit jealous bc hes always been complimented and lauded on stage but then after he lost so significantly to cxk, im guessing that would be a blow to him. on the show, cxk and wmt both seem very very eager to promote themselves and are very willing to fight for opportunities that they each deem best for themselves. unlike some of the other kids who are more willing to work for the team as a whole more. not that the two of them are bad at teamwork, but i think they definitely arent afraid to demonstrate that they want to stand out and i think thats important in this industry and likely part of how cxk got so ahead. its just interesting to compare this cxk to the cxk on idol producer who knew at that point that he didnt need to fight to stand out because he already did, and he tried so hard to help the other kids around him.

i feel like i should redo my current ranking list, but i guess with the kids who are on the show this time? (minus the s2 kids, bc lets face it, theyd be at the very bottom anyway) rn its mostly tiered like 1, then 2-7, then 8-10. i appreciate liu ye being a good teacher and leader and the way he yifan seems to be able to joke around with everyone and keep their spirits up. muti’s fireiness kinda scared me in the last few eps but i appreciate that he was mature enough to talk it out with huadi and admit he had been too stressed/riled up lately.

gengyin

muti

liu ye

cai xukun

he yifan

zuo qibo

zhao pinlin (gosh im sad hes so injured)

dai jingyao

huadi

yongju

HAHAHAHHA THE PART WHERE ZFZ CHALLENGES THEM TO AN AB BATTLE AND YGY STEPS UP AND EVERYONES IN SHOCK BUT HE JUST RUNS DOWN THE LINE TO PUSH DAIDAI TO THE FRONT HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA i love a true silly boy

its just so interesting bc the latter half of this season (after ygy gets nominated for elimination i guess) feels like they enjoy giving ygy camera time and attention and esp ep 8 onward hes gotten so much positive feedback ive just been amazed and so happy. and now at the end... you can tell hes really pushing himself bc hes seen that he can do well and that if he really goes above and beyond he really does have a good chance, and seeing his confidence go up with each stage that he performs well is really gratifying and im so proud of him, seeing how determined and driven he is. i just find it funny how confident he is about rap all of a sudden HAHHAHA i mean he did do very well rapping during the sakura stage and the judges did compliment him a lot for it so i cant blame him.

omgosh the part where the teacher tells muti that he’s already lost to cxk bc cxk got picked during the first round and he hasnt yet....... oof if this is how they talk to him and they keep comparing him to cxk saying their styles are alike but cxk is better, i can see why he’d have some negative feelings towards the matter. the kid’s literally a child, i dont think this is the right way to motivate him....... liu ye patting his head to comfort a pouting muti aw

because now its my duty to screenshot every time they label his smile !!! and this one even labels it as his “cute signature smile” ahhhHHHH THEY KNOW

HAHAHHAHA SO I WAS TALKING TO MY SISTER and she sent us pics of her new boyfriend and i was like lol im still single BUT ive been watching a new show and i have a new bias HAHAHAH and i proceeded to show her pictures of yu gengyin i have saved on my phone HAHAHAHHA and she was like “he looks just like your type” HAHHAHAHAHAHA SHE KNOWSSS but yea i was like ‘LOOK HOW SMILEY HE IS!!!” and she was like “the dog is cuter” AHAHAHAHHAHA but its ok shes used to this. and it just reminded me of the time i showed her the ip PPAP perf with zhengting and she like straight up guessed zhengting was my fav in that perf and i was like LOL YES and she was like hE LOOKS LIKE YOUR TYPE hahahHHAHHAHahahhaAHAHAHAH my type is somewhere along the lines of zhengting and gengyin yes.

huadi’s never-ending battle of fighting to be seen as more than a dancer... to be continued during afo :(

zuo qibo’s struggle of feeling the pressure of being an old man..... feels bad :(

aw he yifan is really so cute. hes def really improved and really doing well, but i feel like his stage presence could still be stronger. its nice to know that during afo he does really shine stage presence-wise and grows to become more mature, more respected, and a group leader as well.

man its so nice to see daidai really thriving and confident and owning these stages because honestly i feel like on the shows ive seen him in since, including produce camp, hes given me the impression of someone whos lost his confidence and doesnt get to show his skills. i really hope he still has this super-idol version of himself in him because he really shines here, and i think it makes him seem even more handsome than just his appearance alone. oof its just hard bc this show really loves him and the judges really love him and hes so well-supported and encouraged and i think it makes a big difference in his confidence level. i feel like on other shows he hasnt been valued nearly as much and its really sad bc the kid just seems so much less confident.

HAHAHAHA IM SORRY EVEN THO I KNEW IT WAS COMING BC OBVIOUSLY I KNOW THE FINAL LINEUP OF SWIN BUT OMG EVERYONE WAS SOOOOO SURPRISED HE YIFAN MADE IT OVER ZUO QIBO AND IM LAUGHING AHHAHAHHAHAHAH EVERYONE’S LOOK OF ASTONISHMENT IS TOO MUCH AHAHHAHAHA NO ONE HAD FAITH IN HE YIFAN ISTG HAHAHAHHAHA EVEN HE YIFAN HIMSELF IS LIKE WAT HAHAHHAAHHHAAH BUT THEN HIS ADORABLY BRIGHT SMILE IN CONTRAST WITH EVERYONE’S SHOCKED FACES IS ALSO HILARIOUS HAHAHHAHA this situation is just terrible but hilarious at the same time /sigh/ rip zuo qibo im sorry youre old but cant win :( honestly tho i can understand why they picked he yifan bc he does have more to offer the group than qibo :( considering they put daidai in and they already have yongju (and im assuming yu gengyin will be the last one) and even muti and liu ye sing (and i guess pinlin can also be considered a backup lol).... having another lead vocal isnt gonna to contribute much versus he yifan’s low tone rap. he yifan is really a cute little bean tho. oof the way he runs straight into cai xukun’s arms oof friendship

sigh so i guess its after this that yongju gets kicked out bc china (poor kid...) and then at some point daidai leaves and they randomly add in pinlin after he recovers? even tho he wasnt in like half of season 2? lol but i guess he was never eliminated.... so technically that puts him ahead of zuo qibo in terms of next-in-line to be a vocalist? but i guess honestly everyone knows that if pinlin hadnt left the show due to his injury, he wouldve been the main vocal of leo’s group, not zuo qibo. so i guess in a way as long as pinlin recovered in time, he would be considered the best vocalist to add to swin-s. and then they pull some eliminated kids to become swin-e..... going back to watch the “new world” mv is really a trip every single time. i feel like i watched it for the first time after watching ip and literally only recognized cai xukun, and every time after, i recognized a few more kids, after afo, after pdc, and after finishing super idol 1, i finally recognized all of them. but now, after watching season 2, it feels like i finally actually understand why they got picked and i truly appreciate all 6 of them. I think its really amazing to see yu gengyin go from being ranked #1 in the very first audition on the first season, to being so close to getting eliminated in season 2, to being the last one chosen to get a super card at the end of s2, to being a main vocal in “new world”, and truly truly owning that song. i mean besides cai xukun obviously upstaging everyone with his stage presence as usual, but i mean now when i listen to the song (not even watching the mv) and im really paying attention to who’s singing what part, whose voice really gets to shine and gets to dominate the song, its yu gengyin. maybe im biased or maybe its just expected since he is the main vocal, but i guess it just amuses me that i never noticed that before when i watched this mv without knowing him. now i know whose voice it is that is carrying their debut song and it makes it so special. from listening to later swin songs, i feel like zhao pinlin eventually gets himself a much larger cut of the main vocal position (to the point of surpassing gengyin even?), but i mean that is a whole other story, and i think it does flow into zhao pinlin becoming the ultimate main vocal once gengyin leaves. interestingly zuo qibo never does seem to redeem himself from being any more relevant of a vocal within the group, even tho he was def main vocal of leo’s group on s2 after zhao pinlin left... its like as soon as pinlin leaves he’s needed but when pinlin is there, he’s ignored :( gosh as soon as they announced all the winners and qibo wasnt included, his eyes just became so empty you could see his pain.

but yes this ends my essay about the last few eps of super idol s2. LOLL i just started compiling my thoughts into larger rant posts bc i didnt want my whole dash to be littered with a bunch of small random posts, so i started collecting my thoughts on a draft as i watched and waited until it got unbearably long to post, such as now. but watching super idol 1 & 2 has been really an eye-opening experience. ive learned a lot about these kids and its truly made me appreciate the year long training they had in korea and the many many struggles and setbacks and unique experiences they had. honestly i feel like swin couldve easily been 8 people aka swin-s plus huadi and zuo qibo, because honestly theyre all very skilled and capable at this point, and huadi and zuo qibo are really on a different level from gouhao and zhu yunlong (sorry kids, i still appreciate yall tho!) since they werent on like a majority of season 2, but i guess it really doesnt matter in the very long run bc of what happened to swin anyway. such a sad sad history for them to bear, but i do hope they can all achieve some kind of success in the future, because theyve really suffered and worked so hard. ill look forward to watching old swin clips for the time being, as i wait not-so-patiently for afo2

ps: random update, i did in fact make a gengyin gif into my phone lock screen HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH i gave in to the feels. but its the hair flip from that one ikon song he won his individual battle for, and its a historic and important moment okay HAHAHAH

#rants #poor qibo is an old man whos really just tried his best #i have too many feels for gengyin and it shows ;_;
