TXT ft. Anitta "Back for More" MV initial thoughts

It's here! It's here!! It's finally here!!!

The MV for "Back for More" is out and it looks sooooo good!! 😩

The overall styling/creative direction works really well. Absolutely loved how they played with the lights and shadows for this MV -- still giving tinges of something... forbidden? idk but the feeling of temptation still kinda lingers in this track, imo

AND THE WHISTLING IS STILL PRESENT OMFG I'VE JUST REALIZED WE HAVE WHISTLING AGAIN IN THIS TRACK TOO!!! WHAT UNIVERSE/TIMELINE ARE WE IN FOR THIS MV/ALBUM?????

We have our boys looking expensive in their suits. Love how they introduced softer, more feminine elements as well (cuts, fabric/texture, shapes, the shimmer etc) as it works to both contrast and highlight different points of their choreography. TXT always ready to serve ugh love them and their entire creative and performance team sm

On the topic of choreography, we were robbed of more Anitta and TXT dance interactions during the VMAs stage!! ☹️ AND WE WERE ROBBED OF MORE CENTER SOOBIN MOMENTS 😭 but of course, i understand that it's hard to have a "center" when there are six of them (including Anitta) on stage and this might be the one and only time they can perform live together so they made adjustments to their blocking

THE DANCE BREAK THOUGH??? IMMACULATE. LOVED IT. lowkey obsessed with the choreo where they do some miming actions of some sort to the instrumentals (idk how to describe it) -- scratches my brain just right whenever i see it all unfold in front of me 💆‍♀️ it's a shame that the camerawork during their live stage wasn't able to capture all that :(

And Yeonjun's scene at the end??? his little smile might have just ended me like what is he so cute for!!!!! I thought he'd go for a sexy little smirk or smth but it turns out a cute smile was even deadlier???!!! and i'm not even a moawajjunie so prayers for all the moawajjunies out there (and the bamtoris and the ningdungies and the solomons and ofc my fellow soobrangans and OT5ers out there)

the overall vibe and execution of this track was well done -- kinda like a dark disco approach that works really well coming from tnc: temptation. are we still being tempted by the devil even after saying farewell to neverland? are they now the devil?? who knows!! in any case, definitely staying seated for all that tnc: freefall will offer us 🫡

TXT's The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION will be the first instalment of a new series focusing on the theme of youth facing temptation. The January 27th release date was already foreshadowed back in the Japanese MV of Good Boy Gone Bad, where 1:27 appeared on the phone screen of the girl at the beginning of the video.

In the latest teaser the concept was introduced with the Thursday's Child logo getting lost in a psychedelic fantasy of swirling greens and pinks. A cryptic message can be heard in the background, and once reversed, the voice says: "It's so sweet but I should find my name".

The message implies that the concept will focus on the boys facing a sweet temptation that they will have to overcome in order to find their name. As we know from The Star Seekers, the name is something directly connected to one's true purpose, identity and inner power.

Finding your True Name allows you to begin your path towards self-realisation and by the end of minisode 2, Thursday's Child has Far to Go foreshadowed that they were on their way towards that destination.

With The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION, however, things change because even if Thursday's Child wants to move forward and grow from the mistakes of the past, the whisper of the Devil holds him back. In the concept trailer we saw that this devilish voice belonged to a creature with odd eyes, and in the behind the scenes, Huening Kai confirmed it was none other than the odd-eyed cat, whose eyes were modified in post-production possibly to add a new layer of trickery to this already unsettling character.

In The Name Chapter, this odd-eyed devil tempts Thursday's Child to leave the path of growth and join him in the magical world of their imagination where they can be forever young.

Like in the trailer, the album description references Peter Pan to get the point across. The Devil is like Peter taking the Lost Boys to Neverland and TXT are like Wendy and the Darling Children getting lured in by this entity who teaches them to fly. "Too tempting to ignore", the boys hold the devil's hand as they stray from the right path and start defying gravity. Interestingly enough, the reference to them "defying gravity" might also be a callback to Defying Gravity, which is a song from the musical Wicked, the prequel to The Wizard of Oz. That is a story that has already a lot in common with TXT's concept, but in this specific case, Defying Gravity is even more fitting because that song marks the moment Elphaba actually turns wicked.

Since the goal of the odd-eyed cat/devil is to make them "leave tomorrow behind" and forget about all the responsibilities and worries that they have, TXT will have to "Remember their Name" in order to return on the right path.

GUYS THE TRAILER???? (warning: me yapping under the cut)

ok so, ever since the chasing that feeling ive gtten the hint that little prince is gonna be invlovled w the next comecack SOMEHOW. And i was right!!! so here, in the trailer it portays txt as the 5 little princes, and the fox i think was supposed a reference to their dreams, or like the little princes childhood and the magic in that childhood. Now we know that in txt's plot line it has alot to do with growing up, and in temptation they want to reject their responsibilities and and chasing that feeling it shows that they have come back down to earth and they accepted the responsibilities and adulthood requires. And in this concept vid, it looks like yeonjun is working a part time job instead of stealing money like in loser lover, and the fox now is shown to be inside a habitat of sorts. behind a glass, like how childhood memories and freedom is stores in our memories. So when they retrive back that fox, i think its supposed to be saying that just because their adults, doesn't mean they can't revisit those memories. Now at the end, the fox (or smth idrk) says that he'll never forget their names, and i think thats supposed to be interpreted as saying that you will always have the memories, and that they arent gone from you forever. In the little prince, theres a line that says "all grown-ups were once children, but only a few remember it"

ok im sorry this makes no sense at all im in my feels and i need to dump out my thoughts somewhere-

link to the concept trailer

#my bad i fr was js yappng here... #but im so so so SOOO excited for the new album #like i love the concept of rejecting adulthood #and the whole peter pan thing + little prince is so intruiging i cant help but yap abt it #꒰ ari rambles ꒱. #txt #txt theory #txt plot line #txt concept trailer #txt new album #txt story #little prince

the way tommy is being so respectful and so careful with evan not only bc it's his first relationship with a man but bc he really likes him so they're taking things slow (note: they didn't kiss hello or goodbye at the bachelor party even though no one else was around to see besides eddie who already knows they're together) and then buck surprises the fuck out of him with that hungry af public kiss and those thoughts tommy had about being gentle and sweet for evan's first time sometime in the future fly out the window with the stark realisation that this guy knows what he's doing - or at least knows what he wants - even if he's never done it with a man before and tommy gets this rush of like: oh, he's gonna ride me into the mattress

#and thus i present my theory that tommy didn't even notice the sootbeard bc he is kiss drunk and probably debauched #from more hallway or elevator kisses and his head is spinning with how this amazing man keeps surprising him.... #tommy kinard #evantommy #bucktommy #911 7x06 #911 abc #fic fodder #.txt #need a fic. who's gonna write it? 🫠

i find it so disingenuous that some people act like transmasculine people can't relate to transfem people.

transmasculine people, GNC cis women and butches, for *years*, have been writing about how they are seen as predatory in the women's restrooms because they 'look like men' or 'don't look woman enough' to be in there. i personally have experienced dirty looks and weird stares in the women's restroom as an openly butch person AFAB.

there are countless videos of cis women being removed from women's restrooms because they don't look 'woman enough' to be in there to take a leak. a video of a cis lesbian actually went viral for this.

there's a song by tribe 8, a lesbian queercore band, titled 'wrong bathroom' about these women not looking 'woman enough' to be able to use the women's restroom.

s. bear bergman has an essay titled 'tranny bladder', in hir book, 'butch is a noun', about how ze has been forced to be able to hold it instead of choosing to use the women's restroom because of how ze has been harassed in the women's restroom in the past over not looking quite 'woman enough', same for the men's restroom.

leslie feinberg wrote in hir book 'stone butch blues' about how the main character, jess, (butch) and her friend, ruth, (a trans woman), would declare that 'the world is our restroom' because of how they would rather use it on the side of the road than continue to be harassed in public restrooms about their presentations, assumed to be predatory.

like, do people just think that transmasculine people are not seen as predatory at all?

trans women are hypervisible and that definitely leads to them being labeled as predatory in a much more visible manner, but just because you don't see it, just because it may not be reported on as much or go viral, does not mean that transmasculine people aren't seen as predatory, and the idea that we can't be seen as predatory or that we have some sort of special privilege that means we're somehow not seen as predatory by society is, frankly, dangerous, especially for younger transmasculine people, who are going to experience a pretty rude awakening in the real world when they get questioned and harassed or even removed for not looking 'female enough' to use the women's restroom.

Neuvillette refers to Venti as "The God of Breeze and Hope" (his voicelines about the Archons.) Both are odd: "breeze" instead of "wind" (but the term is under the umbrella of things referring to the wind) and "hope." The latter is more important. As of now, we haven't seen Venti be referred to as such.

We've seen him be referred to as the God of Poetry and Songs, the Wind God, etc. We know he blesses wind gliders so they actually work, amongst so many other titles, but never "hope." That isn't to say the term doesn't fit him, it's just surprising. Neuvillette is the Hydro Dragon Sovereign, meaning he could know more than we do or at the very least know things about the Archons that haven't been revealed by even themselves (and Venti DOES have a habit of doing that).

Anyway, I've been thinking about it since I read the line and a lot of Mondstadt's lore has to do with hope: The Nameless bard hoped for freedom, to see the clear skies and birds that cageless soar; at the time of the Aristocracy that came after, the people of Mondstadt hoped for an end to the tyrannical reign, and the people of Mondstadt hope for their freedom not to come under threat again. The theme of hope is around not through Venti's actions themselves but rather a collaboration between Venti & the people of Mondstadt, and you'll also remember the Freedom Sworn description also questions whether or not Venti gained the love for Freedom from the people or vice versa (and I also said it could be both in that instance). So in this instance, it is "both" once again.

TXT’s upcoming THE NAME CHAPTER will most definitely touch on the concept of True Names already introduced in The Star Seekers. True Names were first mentioned in The Doom's Night, and have been a huge aspect of their lore ever since.

In the Webtoon version of The Star Seekers, True Names are described as something that "not only shows your fate but also your powers. They are a source of redemption for you and everyone else."

In the Wattpad, on the other hand, they are defined as something that is "like a prophecy" but not quite. Everyone and everything has a true name that defines the essence of their soul, and while they don't necessarily show you the path to reach your fate, they do hint at the final destination of your journey.

A huge aspect of TXT’s story is for them to understand what is their name in order to realise their destiny. This is a concept that is also heavily featured in their music, where the "name" is something that has been mentioned in every album ever since their debut.

While we still don't have much information about The Name Chapter, the focus on the name suggests a focus on the theme of self-realisation. Discovering your name means discovering yourself - the powers that you have, the potential you can develop and the true purpose of your life.

why is there dark candy in the trash on the way leading to spamton's shop. this is apparently the only place in cyber world where you can find dark candy. dark candy is a card kingdom item. there's a warp door in the same room. what is this implying please tell me toby please t

shoutout to @naggingatlas​ for bringing my attention to this

also the only time we see a card kingdom tree in the cyber is in the egg man room, which interestingly has a hint drawn right next to one of spamton's garbage cans (the one where he sells you the thorn ring). did he draw that, maybe?

i really really love this because: it goes well with my idea of spamton being an artist (shop background, vandalized queen paintings) + we know jevil has been to cyber city but now we might have confirmation spamton has been to card kingdom too and this is making me silly

Ohhhhhhh wait I get it now

White is for the federation, it's all about order, predictability, things being where they should and knowing that, when things are out of place the federation will force it to be the way they think it should be

The black concrete has led the islanders to two things, a roulette wheel and dice; all of which objects to represent are chaotic, completely based on luck of the draw. Random chance, you don't know what will happen or what you will get, the dice roll room has a book which is written completely unprofessionally, in stark contrast to the federation's clear, concise and formal wriitngs. The black concrete, whoever is responsible, is the antithesis of the federation completely

White is cold, unfeeling, clinical; it is of order

Black is lively, random, messy; it is of chaos
