2022 was probably my least favorite year for kpop since i started listening to kpop. like, month-to-month, week-to-week, it had the lowest percentage of songs that i loved of any of the years that i’ve been a kpop fan. there were some great songs, for sure, but i’m just saying overall. and that had a number of factors, it can’t be blamed on one thing in particular. also, it just comes down to my own personal taste. like maybe it was my least favorite year, but someone else had like dozens of songs that they love. it’s possible.

but 2023 so far is like blowing it out of the water lol. it’s only march, so i cant extrapolate and figure out how the rest of the year will go, because obviously nobody really knows that, but at the very least on the month-to-month week-to-week basis, the ratio of great songs to underwhelming songs is really high in the great songs’ favor. like i think a lot of the stuff so far has been really good, and i’ve only been disappointed by a few things i’ve heard. i have a top 3 kpop songs of the year so far, and each of those 3 songs came out in each of the 3 months. which is pretty good lol, i hope that trend continues.

and like a bunch of groups who kinda disappointed or underwhelmed me last year are recovering and putting out stuff that’s not just better than last year, but some of their best songs ever. i’ve been pretty impressed by the quality of stuff lately. knock on wood.

#hey fingers crossed for everglow weeekly and lightsum now too #hoping they come back soon #it's at least looking kinda like everglow finally might #they were one of the biggest reasons that 2022 sucked... because they didnt put anything out last year #but i have faith in them #it does suck that lightsum are entering the same kind of ''where are they'' long hiatus tier that everglow and weeekly are in though #someone on twitter pointed out that its been like 300something days #which sucks because Alive was really really good #cube's got a lot going on right now and none of it is good for them #so we'll see what happens. theyre still posting and doing things. i've got notifications on. anyway

“You need anything else?”

“Nope, all good.” Mya handed off her ridiculous fur jacket to the stage hand, continuing to make her way backstage. Sihyeon had let her in on the a secret, that there was a staff only kitchen that the idols could borrow snacks from, and she planned on taking full advantage of it.

She’d been invited to guest host, and with that came her own little solo stage. It was just a two minute rap performance, with some basic choreography. They were performing to empty crowds, but Mya had still tried to look her best. For her, that meant a purple mini skirt and matching bandeau top. The orange fur jacket had fit the vibe perfectly, but under the stage lights it was ridiculously hot, so she was glad to be rid of it.

Tugging on the end of one of her blonde pigtails she made her way down the hall, heels clicking as she left the busy area behind and headed into the back halls.

“Sihyeon said left...or did she say right?” Mya cursed herself, assuming her Korean skills had once again robbed her of snacks.

“Shit...this stupid...what am I...”

Hands still twisting her pigtails, Mya peeked her head into a doorway, following the sound of the curses. She looked into what looked like a standard dressing room, empty except for one figure flailing around in the middle of the room. His black shirt was pulled up over his head, tangled with the cords of his mic packs as he tried to untangle himself.

A giggle escaped her.

The figure paused. “Is someone there?”

Caught, Mya decided to at least make herself useful. “Um, yeah. Do you need help?”

“Yes please.” She was pretty sure that the man was slumping in relief. “It’s just, the cord is just wrapped around -”

“I can see it, let me.”

Mya kicked off her shoes and made her way into the room, walking over to the man. He was a lot taller than her, and twisted as she approached.

Mya laughed again. “Just stay still, I’ll just unplug the chord.”

“Thanks. I really thought I was going to die in here and I’m supposed to be backstage in ten minutes.”

“No problem.” Mya unplugged the mic pack from where it was attached to the waistband of his pants, and then reached up to unwind the chord from around the neck of his shirt. “I think I’ve got it.”

“Awesome, thank you.” The boy pulled his shirt over his head and turned around. “I really don’t...oh my god.”

Mya blinked up at him, wondering if it would be weirder to keep staring that the shirtless boy or to look away. He was infuriatingly attractive, so she was inclined to do the first, but also he looked really flustered.

“I...I’m so sorry.” He reached for a robe, pulling it on. “I can’t...where’s the tie for this...I’m sorry I thought you were one of the staff. I didn’t mean to-”

“It’s okay.” Mya said quietly. “I’m happy to help.”

“Still, you didn’t ask for me to - never mind.” He gave her an awkward smile. “Um, I’m Yuta.” She blinked, recognizing the name as a member of NCT. But she’d never laid eyes on him and certainly hadn’t recognized him with a shirt over his head.

“Oh, I’m Mya.” She held out her hand.

He reached for it.

“NO!” She shouted.

He jumped back, clutching his hand to his chest. “What?”

“No, I’m...I’m sorry. I’m not Mya, I’m Enya.” She held her hand out again. “I didn’t mean to shout.”

He carefully shook her hand, looking at her wearily. “Do you not know your name?”

“Enomoto Mya was my name when I promoted with X1.” She explained. “Now I’m with Everglow, so it’s just Enya.”

“Ah, you combined them.” He nodded, before his eyes widened. “Wait, Enomoto? You’re from Japan?”

Mya nodded. “Yeah, why?”

“Because I’m Nakamoto Yuta!” He exclaimed in rapid Japanese.

“Oh, that’s cool!” Mya switched easily into her native language, grinning. “I never get to speak Japanese, unless I’m hanging out with...you know, never mind.” She stopped herself before she gave unnecessary details, as she was prone to do.

“I didn’t realize Everglow was performing today.”

“We aren’t. I’m the guest host, so I had a solo stage.” She explained. “I’m sure I’ll see you later when we do the winner announcement. I...obviously knew you guys were performing today.”

“Yeah,” He rubbed the back of his neck. His robe was still undone, so Mya kept her gaze aimed up at his face. “I was trying to get my mic off after our practice when you...well...kinda saved me.”

She laughed. “That’s me, always happy to help.” She looked down at her feet.

He looked down too, and then blinked. “Do you not have shoes?”

“I took them off.” She moved back over to the door, picking up the discarded heels. They were bright orange and easily three inches tall, and Yuta took a step back when she held them up.

“See why I didn’t want to wear them?” She laughed.

“Yeah.” He tilted his head to look at them. “Those are worse than the ones they make YinYin wear.”

“YinYin?”

“The only girl in NCT. She’s tiny too, but she doesn’t have to dance in them because she does flips. Do they make you dance in those?”

“No one has ever called me a dancer, so the least I can do is walk pretty and grow a few inches.”

“You aren’t that short though.” He said, even though it was a complete lie.

There was a tentative moment of silence.

“Did that hurt?” Mya finally asked.

“The mic? No, thought I might strangle myself but -”

“No, that.” She pointed.

Only thing was, he was standing a lot closer than she thought, so when she went to point at his belly button she found herself with her index finger resting just above his piercing.

His mouth opened a little. “Um, yeah...I mean...no, not really.”

“Oh.” She pulled her hand back, wishing she had sleeves to hide her hands in. “I wanted to get mine done.”

“Well, it might um...hurt you.” He finished lamely.

“Why would it hurt you and not me?” She looked up at him. He leaned closer, practically standing right above her. Mya just looked down, poking her own belly button through the fabric of her skirt.

“I’m...I have a high pain tolerance.”

“So do I.” She looked straight up at him, meeting his gaze.

“Then you should get it.” He offered a tight smile. “I’m sure it would look good.”

“I know, right?” Mya smiled. “I just need to convince one of the girls to go with me and hold my hand.”

“I could.” He swallowed. “Go with you, I mean.”

Mya wasn’t sure what came over her, but some evil spirit encouraged her to give a little pout. “What, you wouldn’t hold my hand?”

She was pretty sure that Yuta stopped breathing.

“I could do that.” He finally said, his tone quiet.

She gave a tiny smile. “Well then, if I work up the courage to do it, I’ll give you a call.”

“Please do.” He whispered.

“What?”

“Nothing.” He shook his head to clear it. “Do you have kakao?”

“I do.” She nodded. “I don’t have my phone on me though, there’s no pockets in this outfit.”

“I have mine.” He pulled it off of the dressing table, opening the app and holding it out to her. “Just enter your name.”

She typed quickly fingernails clicking against the screen. “There you go.” She handed his phone back to him.

“Thanks.”

“You’re welcome.” She gave a little laugh.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, neither of them quite sure where to go from there.

“You have to be on stage in like five minutes.” Mya finally said.

“And you need to get ready to MC.” He added.

Mya nodded. “I’ll see you later?” She turned towards the door, still carrying her shoes.

“Yeah.” He reached for the black shirt he was supposed to wear. “Mya? I mean, can I call you Mya, or do you prefer Enya?”

“Call me whatever you want.” She flipped a pigtail behind her shoulder, and then gestured to his phone. “Or whenever you want.”

“Right.” He breathed.

“Good luck, Yuta.” She spun, walking out of the room.

“Good luck.” He was so quiet she almost didn’t hear him.

The second she was out of the room, Mya lifted a hand to her cheek. Sure enough, she was hot, and could only imagine how red her face was. She had no idea what had just happened, or what had come over her, only that she was pretty sure that she was happy about it.

“What took you so long?” Sihyeon asked when she entered the dressing room. “Weren’t you going to the kitchen?”

“Hmmm?” Mya sat down in her chair, looking into the mirror as she started to undo her hair. “I decided not to.”

“Aw,” Sihyeon frowned. “I wanted snacks.”

“I found one.”

“What?”

“Nothing.” Mya said quickly. “Give me my queue cards so I know what to say.”

“We’re introducing NCT next, think you can manage?”

Mya snorted. “I know I can.

Andy’s FanFic Log 28/02/2017

Hello again! This log is a bit shorter than the last since I was away for my cousin’s wedding on the weekend. But I felt the log was at a good point to post, so here we are anyway! Btw I don’t think I mentioned this last time, but feel free to shriek at me about how wonderful fics are/yell at me to read a certain thing. Both are good icebreakers in my opinion and are most welcome in my ask box~!

Fic Count: 20 Fandoms this Log: Yuri!!! on Ice, Voltron

Now onto the customary warnings before we get into it~

I end up reading a lot of random shit. Until I’m a bit more comfortable I might censor a few things out, but there will be explicit fics, darker themes, crazy plots, and insane ships amongst all the sugar and fluff I find around the place. So the really important thing is to carefully read the warnings that I occasionally give & that are on the fic itself, and back away if it’s not for you.

Other posts in this little series can be found under the read fanfiction tag on my page~

Alright! Here we go~!

Yuri!!! on Ice

play that song again, ‘cause we were in love by Piyo13 Words: 1.1k, Rating: Teen, Status: Complete Relationship(s): ChulaCometti (Phichit/Christophe), Victuuri (Viktor Nikiforov/Yuuri Katsuki), Unrequited Vichris & Phichuuri “Of course you are,” Chris replies smoothly. “We’re their best friends and their best men, and look at them. It’d be a crime not to be happy for them.” Phichit raises his eyebrows at the change in person. “So,” he says. “Like recognizes like?”

Very Versatile by Marks Words: 1.8k, Rating: Mature, Status: Complete Relationship(s): ChulaCometti The one where Phichit is really observant when it comes to everything and also Christophe, and Ciao Ciao probably steals a whole tray of mini-pizzas. ~ Not entirely sure of my thoughts on this one. But I kind of liked it, so someone else might enjoy it too.

Now, Take My Hands (Come On) by mintables Words: 3.8k, Rating: No Rating (Mature imo for some sexy times), Status: Complete Relationship(s): ChulaCometti (Along with mentions of other pairs) It begins, as most things in their lives do, at the banquet. Or, Phichit isn’t sure when he began falling for Chris, but maybe he was there the whole time. ~ This is amazing and beautiful! I almost couldn’t stop myself from crying at the fluff. <333

Oh My God, Finally by Halrloprillalar (prillalar) Words: 1.7k, Rating: Explicit, Status: Complete Relationship(s): ChulaCometti, Victuuri At the GPF post-banquet after-party, Chris and Phichit do a little roleplay. ~ The rp was much implemented much better than I was anticipating, but I’m not sure how I feel about the ending. In any case it was still well done so someone else might enjoy it.

Unexpected and Eager by novocaine_sea Words: 3.6k, Rating: Explicit, Status: Complete Relationship(s): ChulaCometti (Anyone guess by now what tag I’ve been going through?) Now that Victor was off with Yuuri, Christophe really had nobody to have fun with after hours. “Christophe!” A cheerful voice called from behind him, almost as if on cue. Christophe turned, champagne flute still twisting in hand. Phichit Chulanont was heading his way with a bright smile on his face. Maybe this banquet wouldn’t be so boring after all. ~ A very sweet lemon~ <3

Liquid Courage by vivaldis_lover Words: 1.5k, Rating: G, Status: Complete Relationship(s): ChulaCometti It’s Phichit’s turn to get drunk at the banquet, but unfortunately for Chris, no pole dancing is involved this year. He will get his reward for taking care of the young skater, though. ~ Just a little bit of drunken fluff <3

Anything Could Happen by Creepikat Words: 7.1k, Rating: Teen, Status: Complete Relationship(s): ChulaCometti, Victuuri, Leo de la Iglasia/Ji Guang-Hong (I have no clue what their ship name is, but they are so cute~~) After two years Viktor and Yuuri finally get married. They rent a Hotel near Detroit, in a beautiful and snowy place. Everyone’s here. The future husbands are idiots. Phichit is a best man. Christophe too. And somehow he’s even more dashing than usual. This is gonna be a merry mess. ~ I love relationship establishing fics like this~ I really love when things like this are continued (alas this is not) but this initial type of fluff gives me life. <33

A Sequence for You by wisia Words: 4.7k, Rating: Teen, Status: Wip Relationship(s): Victuuri Yuuri Katsuki retired from ice skating without any medals or breaking any records. It’s fine. He couldn’t have made it anyway. So, why was Victor Nikiforov asking him to be his coach? ~ This seems like a good roll reversal so far. I think it’ll be interesting to see where it goes.

fire on ice by indianchai Words: 11k, Rating: Teen, Status: Wip Relationship(s): Victuuri All figure skaters were water users. Never in the history of the sport was there professional ice skater that didn’t have water as their elemental affinity. Katsuki Yuri had a well-guarded secret that he can’t have anyone find out about. ~ This is amazing! I love fantasy and mystic type things, so this is right up my alley. Can’t wait to read more!

Remedy by Ishxallxgood Words: 1.8k, Rating: Not Rated (G? Maybe just above for the feels), Status: Complete Relationship(s): Victuuri Those 48 hours these two spent apart were the worst. Viktor finds comfort from that gaping hole in his soul via one Hiroko Katsuki, who loves him as much as she loves her own son. And Yuuri, well Viktor is his remedy, always and forever. ~ A really beautiful hurt/comfort fic <3 Have I mentioned this is a songfic btw?

Turn Backwards on Go by inkwellofstars Words: 5.3k, Rating: Not Rated (G), Status: Wip Relationship(s): Victuuri In which Yuuri and Victor, happily married and retired, find themselves thrown into the past and proceed to mess with everyone. ~ This is a bit of fun, unlike most of the time travel aus which are filled with angst. Can’t wait to see how the two of them are going to continue to mess with everyone!

Only You by quesadiaz Words: 27k, Rating: Teen, Status: Wip Relationship(s): Victuuri In the year 2021, Victor Nikiforov, retired professional figure skater and Number One Husband, steps into a taxi to make his way home from the grocery store, arm full of vegetables and fruits to bring home to his beautiful husband and loyal old dog. A sharp sound and a blur of color is the only warning before Victor wakes up in the year 2016, sitting in a first class seat on an ascending airplane headed for Fukuoka, Japan. ~ I’m mostly enjoying this. A large part of me is just like “I hope everything will be okay T^T” This is also from Yuuri’s pov, a companion fic is going to be released when this one is done.

Gods of Circumstance by Ritequette Words: 15k, Rating: Mature, Status: Wip Relationship(s): Victuuri During his Free Program at the 2016 Barcelona Grand Prix Finals, Yuuri suffers a freak equipment malfunction and falls, hitting his head on the ice.When he wakes up, surprisingly not dead, he finds himself in the last place he expected… the 2015 Sochi Grand Prix Finals. Again.~ Aaaahhhhh, this is an amazing time travel fic! So much feeling! I really want to see how it unfolds.

Dancing Daffodils by greyclouds Words: 40k, Rating: Mature, Status: Wip Relationship(s): Victuuri "As Love gently wipes away the tears that trail down his cheeks something within Victor quakes, its tremors resonating throughout his entire being like a deafening echo. He is in the arms of a god.“ A god falls for a man. ~ I’m really enjoying this one!

I have no heart, for you long ago stole it by exile_wrath Words: 4k, Rating: G, Status: Complete Relationship(s): Victuuri In which Eros, one of the six gods of love, falls for a mortal who thinks he’s unlovable. Or in which Yuuri goes to the Temple of Eros to plea for help and ends up being courted by the god himself instead. ~ An interesting fic to say the least. I kinda wish it went on for longer, just so we could see some more development.

On My Love by RikoJasmine Words: 48k, Rating: Teen, Status: Wip Relationship(s): Victuuri Yuuri often thinks of his life as Before and After Viktor Nikiforov, the marking point being the day Viktor swept into his life and turned his world upside-down. After many years together, an accident leads to Yuuri suddenly waking up in the Before—back in Detroit, before the GPF, before he ever knew Viktor as anything other than his childhood idol. As if it had all been just a dream. ~ Holy shit this fic. I’ve cried a couple of times with it already and I’m really looking forward to reading more! <3

Voltron

An Everglow Feeling by BleuSarcelle Words: 3.4k, Rating: Teen, Status: Wip Relationship(s): Klance (Keith/Lance) The one where Lance acquires magic healing powers for being the first human to be inside a cry-pod and it turns out to be a dangerous thing, especially when said abilities are connected with his energy life force and Keith’s bleeding on his arms. ~ This is good! I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes~!

The Hundred Dollar Bill by AQuinton Words: 7.1k, Rating: G, Status: Complete Relationship(s): Klance, Shallura (Shiro/Allura) Shiro convinced Keith to participate in a date auction for charity and now he has to go on a date with Lance. Lots of fluff and ridiculous text conversations ensue. ~ Very, very cute and fluffy~! I was grinning and loving it the whole way through. <33

Roar by CrzyFun Words: 8.7k, Rating: G, Status: Wip Relationship(s): Blue Lion/Red Lion (Well, that was strange to type - no others so far) Lance met them while surfing just off the coast of Cuba. Hunk met him while helping out at his mothers’ restaurant. Pidge met her while solving puzzles with her brother. Shiro met him after leading his soccer team to victory. Keith… Well, Keith had always known her. Which is why he was completely unsurprised to find out the cats were more than they seemed. ~ Interesting concept and a nice fic so far.

Objects in Motion (When Unbalanced) by Mytay Words: 37k, Rating: Teen, Status: Complete Relationship(s): Klance Lance and Keith are constantly being mistaken for a couple. Lance is highly offended. Keith is quietly outraged. Pidge decides if she can’t have peace, then she can write an epic scientific dissertation on the romantic failings of two exceptionally dense paladins. ~ Very nicely written, well paced, and cute. It left me with a rather contented feeling, and it’s definitely one I’d recommend over and over. <3

girl groups most likely to get a first win in 2021, in my opinion:

aespa - they’re almost guaranteed to, lol. the only reason they havent yet is because they’ve been up against nct, even on The Show, which like... good work SM, lmao. you blocked your own newly debuting group from a first win haha. on the other hand i mean SM did sorta take over those weeks, since the nominees were aespa and two nct songs, and aespa probably like and appreciate their sunbaenims, so it’s all good i guess. in any case, yeah, i really feel like if they come back with a mini album sometime next year, it’s pretty much guaranteed. this isnt really a hot take, it’s just kinda obvious

dreamcatcher - with the rate they grew in 2020... i can only imagine what 2021 will be like for them. if the finale of the Dystopia saga is as well received as the first two installments, it really feels possible. it’s already been possible for a while now, it just comes down to who they go up against. but i think they’ll get lucky and get their first win this next year. i really think so.

weeekly - this might be a bit of a long shot but i’m calling it lol, this is my prediction. they’re the 2020 MAMA rookie of the year, which is a pretty big deal. i think their next comeback will have a lot of attention on it, and i think it could happen. although, idk, maybe it would be more likely in 2022? maybe it would take a year or two? who knows, we’ll see

fromis 9 - this is also a bit of a long shot. they’ve been close before, but their spot in the overall pantheon of groups at the moment is kinda hard to discern. are they a group capable of that? or have they sort of fallen a bit and need to build that hype back up? did their extended hiatus hurt them a lot, or did it make people want to support them even more? who knows. their return comeback wasnt the one to do it, but if they put out two or three comebacks next year and momentum is built back up, i dont think it’s out of the question.

some 2021 rookie group lol - there usually is at least one girl group like this, right? that just comes right out the gate with a first win? there wasnt one this year, but there were two in 2018. i guess there were two in 2019 too, cause everglow got a win in their first comeback, but since it wasnt “right out the gate” with their debut, idk if that counts. also because that win mathematically should have gone to dreamcatcher, and everyone knows it, and im sure the everglow members know it and i wonder if they even really count it as a first win, because theyre friends with dreamcatcher and look up to them. who knows. i hope everglow get a proper well-earned win next year, that they can be proud of. but anyway, there’ll probably be at least one group that just launches and immediately wins. it happens

weki meki? - okay im putting them on here because obv theyre my ults and my url references them lol, and im hoping that by speaking this into existence it’ll come true, but man i just dont know. i hope they do. but unless a 2021 comeback from them really blows up, i dont think theyre on that trajectory. they’re more on the trajectory of becoming one of the many legendary groups that are beloved by people who follow what’s going on really closely, but maybe havent really caught on with non-fans. that’s not a bad place to be, tbh. in any medium, not just kpop. there are lots of things with relatively small, but very passionate and devoted fanbases. idk if theyll get a first win next year but im sure whatever they put out will be at the top of my list of favorite songs, and that’s what really matters lol

#aespa #weeekly #dreamcatcher #fromis 9 #weki meki #started thinking about this because of messages i sent 7nsomnia #thoughts tag #there are probably others that are likely #idk... we'll see
