Thinking about a cute little picnic date that ends with them hunting me through the woods.
Taunting me, yelling about how they can practically feel my poor boycunt flutter around them already. (・ω・)

K-pop Discography Deep Dives: Dreamcatcher (Part ONE)
Tumblr media
A Disclaimer: I was planning, when I first started Tumblr, to be a lurker, but then I began an office job and needed something to listen to to keep myself occupied. And then, I started going through entire K-pop groups’ repertoires, album by album, and jotting down my thoughts. And then, I stumbled into K-pop tumblr and decided, you know what, there’s at least four people on this hell site who would read in depth rants about these discographies and at least five who wouldn’t read it and then get mad because it’s kind of our job as K-pop fans. My lukewarm takes should be taken with an entire silo of salt and the knowledge that this is completely for fun and occupying my very bored, very neurodivergent brain. All this to say, for the love of god, I’m a sleep-deprived student and I don’t have time for internet hate, so don’t kill me. With that being said, enjoy!
Here are my credentials: I’m a HUGE fan of Dreamcatcher, and have been an Insomnia since mid-2021 or so, just after the release of BEcause. They were actually the first concert I’ve ever been to, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for that. They totally gave their all for those two hours and I ended up loving them even more afterward. I’m even considering going again if they have another tour.
Dreamcatcher debuted in early 2017, so they’re nearing their 7th anniversary (breaking K-pop’s infamous curse), with 7 members: JiU, SuA, Yoohyeon, Gahyeon, Handong, Dami, and Siyeon. Handong was not involved in their 2020 comebacks due to being in her home country of China when COVID broke out, but she’s since returned. They have very complicated storylines which I won’t be going too deeply into here besides when I think a specific song’s meaning in context is important to mention.
Tumblr media
Their first single was Chase Me, which starts with a deceptively lovely piano and very typical for-late-3rd-gen-vocals. I was surprised by how k-poppy the song sounded, at least in its early stages and verses, but this was their debut after all. A lot of their early work is slowly stepping out of k-pop convention, one step at a time, although a sound all their own wouldn’t come for a couple songs. Any worries I had were assuaged by such a strong chorus, especially the combination of the bridge just before the last one.
Good Night immediately stands out from the often overly-bubbly, aegyo-filled 2017 k-pop landscape with its creepy ticking clock, marionette-like dance moves and an almost violent electric guitar riff. This time the guitar continues through the whole song, so there’s no fear of it sounding same-y. I’ll probably say this many times in this review, but I just can’t get over how well-suited DC’s vocals are to this rock sound, which isn’t always the case for other groups I’ve seen with a rock concept. The distorted voices in the bridge are a nice touch too. The b-side Lullaby is actually quite lovely, and is a good showcase for their voices in a more soothing context.
Fly High is a poppier sound for Dreamcatcher, although still with more of a rock base than is usual in k-pop, which does make sense as it’s supposed to be a prequel to their much darker storyline. I’ve heard it described before as a bit like an anime theme song, and I’d have to agree, especially the “I can make it!” combined with the strings, lighter electric guitar, and super high power note. Even with a bit of a sound change, Dreamcatcher never slows down their energy, which is something I really appreciate. They always sound like they wholeheartedly believe what they’re selling.
Tumblr media
From the EP, Prequel, there are a few great b-sides I could choose (like the off-beat Sleep-walking), but I’m gonna have to say that Wake Up is my favorite. I’m totally biased, but I’ll just never forget the experience of watching them have the absolute best time performing this live for their encore and jumping into the stratosphere while waving a pride flag back and forth. It’s an anthem that needs an audience, first and foremost, and there’s really nothing more exciting than screaming “Wake up, wake up!” at the top of your lungs.
Full Moon is a special single for their first anniversary, and I won’t spend too much time on it, but I really like how it combines that anime-esque energy from Fly High, a harsher electric guitar, EDM, and some ballad elements. It’s a style that DC returns to later in their career, and it’s fun to see a slightly less complicated version here. I never gave this song much of a chance before so I’m glad I did now.
You & I is next in the “Nightmare” saga, and is probably both the most popular of that arc and the most similar to a lot of mainstream k-pop (which I do like, I want to be clear about that. This is not an attack on mainstream k-pop, guys, I run a blog about it.). Maybe it’s a product of that, but in such a strong catalogue it doesn’t really stand out to me. All of DC’s songs add other elements to their rock sound like EDM, pop, metal, or even a flute (we’ll get to that), but You & I is pretty straightforward, as are its lyrics. The chorus and the opening hook are both pretty good, I will admit, and always get me at least nodding to the song. Again, I in no way even dislike this one, and I’m not going to skip it if I’m doing a re-listen or if it comes up on shuffle, but I just never find myself going out of my way to listen to it.
Though the title isn’t my favorite, I quite like the EP Escape The Era. Which a Star may be an average b-side but it's really elevated by their voices and its twinkling instrumentation, while Scar takes some lovely strings and some crushing electric guitars and somehow turns itself from a rock song into a ballad and right back again. Mayday, meanwhile, is much like Wake Up with its anthemic answer, and immediately gets me headbanging to its hook.
Tumblr media
WHAT starts with a tense energy right out of the gate with those strings, and in what may be DC’s best first 20 seconds of a song, it culminates in an excellent electric guitar riff that would feel right at home in a BabyMetal song. When the song returns to “normal” after, it only adds to the sense of “wrong” and foreboding…until the chorus smashes through a brick wall with perfect metal anthem energy. In case it wasn’t clear, I love this song and it’s tied for my favorite. You just can’t do much better than a song encouraging people to wake up, fight their nightmares, and live another day, which is one of my personal favorite song subjects.
In a switch from Escape The Era, I love What but Alone In The City is one of my least-favorite of their albums. That being said, I do like the contrast between acoustic and electric guitars in Trap, and its build up is pretty great. But I usually have more than one liked b-side.
Over The Sky is another special single and returns to the softer, more string and pop-rock led base (or “anime theme”, I suppose). It feels much happier than a lot of Dreamcatcher’s singles, and is a nice break in between their very heavy discography. I especially like the twinkling quality of its background piano.
Tumblr media
PIRI is the end of their nightmare saga, and is a continuation of the defiance seen in What. It’s named after a traditional Korean flute that the song uses to say “sound the alarm (piri), emergency, emergency.” This is the first time rap is incorporated in its own (albeit short) verse, and I think the combination works quite well. The inclusion of the flute in the background is something I’ve never heard in a song before, but its shrillness provides a good contrast to the very low guitar and drums and Dreamcatcher’s voices sitting in the middle, perfectly capturing the song’s whole idea of being stuck in between light and dark. Overall, a fitting finale.
From PIRI’s EP The End Of Nightmares, while I do really like the sweetness of the ballad Daydream, Diamond was an easy choice for me. It has quite a minimalistic chorus, which normally I’m not the biggest fan of (for evidence, look at any review I’ve ever written to hear me decry the existence of anti-drops), but here it’s to let the great guitar hook and electronic background have some time to be appreciated and its fuller pre and post-choruses make up for it.
Deja Vu is a special single made for a game collaboration, so perhaps one would assume it to be a usual ballad or easily-overlooked piece of a great discography. One would assume very, very wrong. I assumed this, when I heard the first, very slow verse and the backing piano. Deja Vu definitely leans more into melancholy than most of their singles, but it's really at the end of the pre-chorus where the band comes in and DC goes full-on rock ballad that it begins to sound like them.The song is a slow burn, definitely, but the incredible catharsis at the end is totally worth it. Just go watch the music video itself, which is full of delightful drama and betrayal, and can best be described as “Macbeth, if it was gay, Korean, and magical.” You’re welcome.
Tumblr media
Raid Of Dream, the EP, was also produced for the game, but the mix of metal clashing and delicate vocals in Silent Night, the backing piano for the full-on ballad Polaris, and the return of the anime theme (plus guitar solo!!) in the call-to-action that is Curse Of The Spider render it quite a strong album in their greater discography.
I don’t normally dive too deeply into Japanese releases, but, like with Taemin, Dreamcatcher’s offer an interesting expansion on their work. Endless Night starts with much harsher rock than most of their singles, while Breaking Out features a surprisingly chill tropical beat, and No More goes full now-or-never nu metal with guitar riffs that would make Babymetal proud.
R. o. S. E. BLUE is another special single produced for a game, and does lead into the more ballady side of k-pop soundtrack songs, but without sacrificing Dreamcatcher’s rock edges. It, like Deja Vu, is a slow burn that doesn’t seem to have much energy at first, but builds up to it through its great pre-choruses. It’s definitely not as good as Deja Vu (few things are), but does remind me of later-stage Gfriend’s more dramatic and celestial sound, and the music video follows JiU attempting to rescue her friends from the magical prison their minds are trapped in, at the expense of herself.
Tumblr media
So that’s where we’ll end it for now, being around halfway through. I mentioned last time in my TXT review that this was supposed to be a one-parter and became two, but the second one is basically done and will be coming out in a few days (after I listen to the new album), not a week from now, and I won’t be doing supplementals. Apologies to the five people who actually read those, lol. So, I’ll see you next time for Part Two. Tschüss!

Run - a mafia don boyfriend imagine
This recent fig popped into my head and its playing in my head over and over.
So you and your best friend are dating the two leaders of the local mafia and lets just say you love to mess with them.
They got caught doing something (reader decides what) and the two men decide to plan a punishment but the girls are not ready to face the consequences just yet ;)
You and your boyfriend : Adeline & Lucas
Best friend and her boyfriend : Anna & Xaden
picture them however you want
warning: tad spicy.. just a tad
__________________________________________________________
"oh you girls are in so much trouble" Lucas chuckled, his eyes trained on me.
Anna and I stood side by side across from the boys, a kitchen island separating us from them. We stood with our arms crossed behind our backs and plastered innocent smiles on our faces.
"We don't know what you're talking about" Anna said and I nodded along.
"Don't give us that, Anna. You know exactly what you did" Xaden stared her down, seriousness with a hint of amusement visible on his face.
"excuse me" our heads turn to someone standing by the door leading to the living room. The kitchen was connected to two rooms, the living room and the stairs to the upper floors. The guy motions is head into the living room, silently asking the boys to follow him.
Lucas and Xaden turn to us, now fully serious.
"Stay right there and don't fucking move"
"do you girls understand?"
we eagerly nod our heads.
"Good" Lucas said before him and Xaden leave the room, leaving us all alone.
Bad idea
Anna turns to me with a growing face on her face and I just knew what she was planning to do.
"we're not gonna stay here are we?"
"Nope"
just when the creaking of the door can be heard, she grabs my hand and pulls hard, forcing me to break into a sprint and we run as fast as we can to the door leading to the upper floors.
Yanking open the door, we immediately run down the hallway, up the stairs, making a left and hid behind the corner wall. We lean against the wall, hands clutching our chests as we try to catch our breath.
neither of us work out much...
suddenly, I break out into a fit of giggles. I can't believe we did this, we just pulled ourselves into some deeper shit and I just know the guys are not gonna let us go peacefully this time.
Unfortunately for them, we love a good game of cat and mouse.
I mean come on, who doesn't want to be chased by a irresistibly attractive guy who is tall and muscular in all the right places?
good god now I kind of want to be caught.
"where did they go?!"
our eyes snap to each other as they grew wide and suddenly the foot steps running up the stairs could be heard.
I stared at Anna in panic, "we need to go now!"
she nods and we start running again in an attempt to find a new hiding spot. The house is big, no doubt about that but there are only so many places we can run to before they catch us.
"Lets split up, this way we'll find them faster and have them cornered" I could hear Xaden say.
Suddenly, we stop in our tracks as our eyes suddenly meet the backs of Lucas and Xaden at the end of the hallway. As quietly as possible, we slow down completely and come to a halt, bringing our hands up to our mouths to conceal any possible noise.
hearts racing and breathing heavy, we stood there. To my luck, I see the door leading to the library. I carefully tap Anna on the shoulder and her eyes follow my vision to the door and she nods her head in understanding.
Keeping an eye on the boys, we slowly start tiptoeing towards the door and just when we thought we made it to safety, the floor creaks.
god I have never hated a sound more.
Without looking back, I rip open the door, pull us inside and violently shutting door and there sadly was no time to lock the door as we immediately bolted to the bookshelves.
just as we made to and crouched in the darkest corner, the door swings open loudy, the hinges of the door creak with an echo reverberating around the room, making me feel tense.
I bring my hand up to my mouth, concealing any noise of breathing and completely still my movements. Anna does the same.
"Annaaaa, come out come out wherever you are" a singsong voice calls out, xadens voice.
I drew my eyebrows together in a frown, was it just him? is lucas in here too?
Apparently Anna had the same train of thought because she slowly started walking forward to catch a glimpse of who was in the room with us.
Without warning, a hand strikes out and catches Anna's wrist, pulling her out of her hiding spot as she shrieked in surprise and was pulled into Xaden's embrace.
"Gotcha!"
Anna thrashed in his arms but it was all to no avail, Xaden was so much stronger than her and he had no problem keeping her locked in the cage that were his arms.
Her not-so panicked eyes met mine as she breathlessly stops fighting against his hold, "Adeline, run!" she yelled out before Xaden threw her over his shoulder, making her giggle.
I smiled.
Is it bad that I kind of want Lucas to catch me now?
Seems like Anna is in a world of pleasure right now, I feel a little jealous.
I snap out of my thoughts as the door to the library snaps open again, banging against the walls as a result of being forced open so harshly. I feel my body tense up again and my heart begins to thunder in my chest.
Oh dear god he's here.
I really jinxed myself there.
deciding that staying here behind a bookshelf was not such a genius idea, I carefully and quietly stand up and begin to move, peeking in between the books to see where he is.
I see nothing and I don't believe that, that is a good sign. deciding to be even more stupid, I keep moving towards the end of the bookshelf in hopes of hiding behind a new one, mimicking a game of cat and mouse.
I knew damn well I was the mouse.
Lucas was the cat.
Suddenly, I walk into a hard wall and bump my head into something hard but I don't remember a wall feeling soft and wearing-clothing like. I freeze as I realise what I had bumped into.
I shouldn't be questioning what I bumped into, more who I bumped into....
eyes wide with panic, I look and see Lucas's towering frame standing over me, a smirk adorning hs gorgeous face and I feel arms being wrapped around my waist, pulling me close to him.
I had to grab onto his shoulders to stabilise myself before I toppled over but I doubt he would let that happen just like there was no doubt I was trapped.
"going somewhere my love? he asked teasingly, a devilish glint in his eyes and he tightens his hold on me.
I chuckled nervously, trying to come up with something to say, "oh you know, just out on a stroll"
stupid stupid Adeline... out on a stroll?? really??
he raises his eye brow teasingly, clearly not buying the lie, "out on a stroll my ass, you never a good liar my love" he chuckled darkly, the sound sending a spark right down my spine.
I avert my gaze as a blush takes my over my face, wanting to crawl away from embarrassment. Suddenly, his hand grips my chin and forces my eyes to meet his again.
"Look at me sweetheart"
He leaned his face closer to mine and hovered his lips over mine, his close proximity sending my body into a hurricane of lust and desire as I felt his warm breath against my face.
he moves one hand to the my chest, whilst the other still occupied my chin, and moved it to my chest, and pushed me against the bookshelf and pressing his body closer than ever to mine.
Using his body to keep me trapped, he lets go of my chin and grabs my wrists, pinning them above my head and securing them tightly with one hand, immobilizing them.
The way his felt against mine was utterly divine, I could feel every crevice of his beautiful and muscular body, every centimeter of exposed skin, every contraction of his muscler and it was sending my hormones into a frenzy.
I could feel how my body coming alive underneath him, warmth pooling in my core and I helplessly felt how the intensity of gaze was making an unbearable throbbing occur. I tried to press my legs together to create some friction in hopes of relieving the pressure but his body keeping mine trapped didn't allow for that to happen.
He eyes tracked my every reaction to him, the smirk deepening into a devilish grin once he saw how much he effected me, his lips still hovering over mine.
I let out a needy whimper, "lucas please"
he chuckles and moves his lips to my ear, his breath tickling my senses.
"oh my sweet girl, good girls get rewarded but do you know what happens to bad girls?" he whispers, gently biting my ear lobe.
"What?" I whisper breathlessly, lust and desire throwing my mind into a dizzying haze.
I feel him grin against my ear.
"They get punished"

Wow, listening Dreamcatcher's 'Chase Me' hits different now. It's such a good song, even better than I previously thought. The prechorus is so damn good, I think I didn't notice it before though not sure how. Love the touch of it in the bridge as well. And the chorus is a hit.

Been thinking about getting hunted down quite a bit recently.
I want to feel that adrenaline rush as I stumble over sticks and rocks. Each bump causing a jolt to shoot straight through my body. Painfully aware that each mistake I make draws them a little bit closer.
I can almost feel their hands nipping at any part of me they can reach. Grabbing for me, hunting me down.
I know what they want, the flush in my cheeks deepens and the ache in my core burns and soaks through my boxers. I’m panting in exhaustion, but also a sick excitement because..
I want to be caught.
I want them to yank me to the cool damp earth, hold me down and shove my face in deeper. I want them to rip my pants and boxers down, manhandling my body to present their prize. My needy boy-pussy.
Want to feel them rub their cock against my sopping folds before slamming themselves to the hilt inside of me.
Want to be ruthlessly hunted and bred in the forest where nobody can hear me beg for it to stop. <3
