Once again, felt like writing a song hehe 😅 This time, the inspo was from "The Otherside" series by @rinbowaman! I loved it saurrr much I was itching to write a song. This is in the pov of either: Heeseung (SIR OMG AAAAAAH), Jake (OMG, I WAS SO SHOCKED, IN A GOOD WAY), or...𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐆𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐍, 𝐌𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐍 (That I'm currently sharing with @pockettwinzz hehe).
Hope you enjoy! Likes, reblogs and/or following me would be much appreciated!
Can I make a really sad nostalgic post about IKON again? As some of you may or may not know, they used to be my bias group. The events of 2019 changed the entire fandom overnight. I was not a Hanbin solo stan but he was so important to the group that everything sort of imploded after he left. I call it the Long Death because that's what it feels like. I know the members are still active and working, which gives me a lot of comfort, but it will always have this bittersweet edge to it all.
I got so sad today when I realised just how many old ikon tumblrs simply stopped posting or the users made a conscious decision to leave both the fandom and tumblr. It's seriously so sad looking at the time stamps of their last posts.
Anyway, if you are/were an ikon fan, I hope you are having a good day today and it would be nice to reminisce with anyone who wants to cry about it, haha.
At the end of the day, it just really sucks when you can't even enjoy a new release by your favorite artist because the greater internet has decided she's their acceptable outlet of misogyny and they have to comment or hate on her every move every single time.
🥟: I'm going to America on the day of my birthday and I thought you might be upset, so I'll do Hyunibini with Changbin hyung! Don't be upset, everyone.
(* it's sad he'll be spending his birthday on a plane 😭😭😭. Hj's b'day is 0320
* once there he will do a hyuniebinnie live with changbin to make us happy🥹. He's so sweet)
🥟: Next is number 13! Oh, it's big. Drum roll.... Huh? (pulls out a parrot doll) What is this? It's a parrot that copies me? 🦜
🥳 Happy early Birthday Our Lovestay Boy Hyunjin 🥳🎂
From the moment I met you, my life was all you
You’re the star that turns ordinaries into extraordinaries
One after another, everything is special
The things you’re interested in, the way you walk or talk, and every little trivial habit of yours
what i think jyp should do is they should put all those big money they spend on cgi of skz music videos into freeing up Bang Chan's schedule and sending him and his hotsauce writing polycule on a high quality vacation that will keep them relaxed and their creative juices bubbling every comeback season. the man has been producing bangers year after year he needs to be pampered along with his crew instead of us being shown realistic tentacles or dragons or whatever in the mv
Back during the winter holidays, I went on a translation spree and did most of the entire Standing Egg discography. Their lyrics aren't very complex so I was able to just run through dozens of them in a few days. Before I post, I like to listen along while reading my translation, and that's the only step left for all those Standing Egg songs.
I'm gonna try to clear out my drafts in the coming weeks, so you may see spurts of Standing Egg content as I listen back through album by album. If you're not a fan of them...sorry I guess haha
first of all no -isms, -phobias, pro-ED, pro cringe culture, or any bigotry. dont be a dick on purpose in here thank you :) in this house we stay out of peoples business if theyre not affecting anyone or if theyre not culturally appropriating. i dont care if you think it looks dumb
anyways i like witchcraft, deity work and worship, tarot, and a lot of non witchy/polytheisty adjacent things but if you give me the opportunity to make a list i genuinely will not shut up :D ill put most of my interests in the tags
im a cottagecore girlie in the "i grew up next to a pond and regularly went fishing and orange picking in my backyard" typa way but also in the "floral dress and mushroom decor" typa way.
im part of a (suspected PDID) system but never do sign offs or anything just don't get thrown off if we say we instead of i. most of the time its the same person posting anyways. also im ace lesbian, disabled, and black.
I put active effort into being kind (not nice) to myself and others and considering that sometimes people are still learning. I wont put someone down for accidentally saying the wrong term or not knowing something. but if you chose to stay ignorant you'll probably get blocked. you still have a chance to learn! not here though <3
okay bye bye kisses xxxxxxx

I might just go on a huge tangent on here so I sincerely apologize, but I think this is something you've slightly touched on before, so maybe it's interesting to you? About the fact that literally Nobody on the staff/people who work behind the scenes of everything in the kpop industry are credited, mentioned or acknowledged for their work (other than, for example, the surface level “the designer deserves a raise!!!” that i so often see in mv comments :/). What I wanted to talk about specifically though is the company’s complete lack of crediting of these people?? I wanted to look into who directed this new mv that just dropped that I really liked the artistry, editing, and general composition of, but I found absolutely nothing across the group’s yt videos or their pages of who the director is, perhaps the set designer, editor, etc. Utterly taken aback, I checked the descriptions of other kpop music videos, from the most popular to more unknown groups (Twice, Dongkiz, to name a few), and again, nothing. I thought I was going insane, so I looked at mvs for like Amercian bands, and their video details are completely filled with the information of the producer, the recording studio, mixer, master, etc. etc, my point is: so much more than just the group’s twitter or merch page??? I’m like what is going on?? I noticed the kpop mv's only list licensing info at least, but so did the american ones? Idk. It’s either me not knowing where to look, or maybe I’m late to the fact that that is just how things work with kpop group companies or the industry as whole, just giving you no details as to who the hell else worked on this mv or song. I love my biases and appreciate their contributions, but I do not buy for a second that, more often than not, they wrote or produced or mixed absolutely nothing. I think it’s a huge shame that this is done because it reinforces the false idea that the idols are the ones responsible for everything we’re seeing and listening to. Maybe that’s the point, and that’s exactly what the industry wants you to believe, which that just makes it really sad. (Wait also maybe it all gets hidden because its work for hire or the companies buy ownership copyright...)
so i want to clarify some things for you, from the perspective of someone who works in the arts industry. firstly, and most importantly: visible credits exist in western filmic media because of unions. and there are still a LOT of fields that are not unionized. for thousands of years it was fundamentally understood that no performance based art form was done singularly by an individual, so there was often not a reason for there to be 'credits' in the first place. the whole assuming the face of the project is the person who did the most work thing? that's a very new phenomenon in the history of art, and it's capitalism's fault.
secondly: um. you are definitely not looking in the right places bc people are ABSOLUTELY credited? especially music production staff? i guess if you only look at a music video then sure yea there's not always credits there, but companies literally release tracklists and highlight medleys on their main social medias AS PROMOTION that have LISTS of their arrangers and composers. hell, tan's most recent tracklist has their fucking midi programmer on it????
also..............the fucking ALBUMS HAVE CREDITS IN THEM. i can't believe i have to say this but THE ALBUMS ARE THE MAIN PRODUCT AND THEY HAVE PAGES OF CREDITS IN THEM. i...????
like???
i got addy (@hoforwonho) to send these to me, these are from a lucy album and nayeon's album, and they literally have pages of credits???
lastly, and most importantly: the only people who are being 'fooled' into thinking that idols are 'producing' most of the content are western fans. because that is the stereotype promoted BY THE WESTERN MUSIC INDUSTRY. so that is the lens through which you view the korean music industry. koreans and korean fans are well aware that idols do not produce their own artistic content, there is quite literally a stigma around idols in sk about how they are not viewed as artists SPECIFICALLY because of this. gdragon and jonghyun were HUGE deals for being some of the first idol producers + songwriters. music is a huge part of the korean entertainment industry and people who make music are very much a visible part of it. kim eana is a very famous lyricist and she has a popular radio show. kbs just did a whole competition show featuring producers as the contestants. companies are not required to put credits in music videos because music videos are only one part of a kpop cb, and they are also not obligated to put those credits in english. just because you can't find something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist and the whole industry is at fault for it.
