13 and 15 for the ask game 🫶🏻

Hiii hope you're well ❤️

13. what are some of your favourite lyrics alex has written? (doesn't have to be arctic monkeys, can also include tlsp/ other artist collaborations/the submarine soundtrack)

This is sooooo difficult, and I feel like Alex in that interview with Jo where he can't answer a single thing in fear of getting it wrong 😂 I'm certain I'll pick something and then spend the rest of the day remembering more favourite ones 😂😂

But!! He has written so so so sooooooo many perfect lyrics. I genuinely don't think he has ever written any bad ones which is quite the feat.

I love when he gets all deceptive and crinkled and does twists and turns and almost gets lost in the abstraction and then I also love when he gets so direct that it's almost painful.

"I caught you talking to the real me, can't tell you how unhappy that shit makes me." The Bourne Identity, basically all of it. It hurts so good and it's so unique to his catalogue and he couldn't ever have been so open and endearingly and painfully honest if it hadn't been for the support of Miles 🥰 I love that song to bits.

"There's a set of rickety stairs in between my heart and my head. And there ain't much that ever bothers going up them." From The Element Of Surprise - another example of how writing with Miles brings out a totally different side to his writing. It's such evoking imagery and such a cool way of saying what he's trying to say. So clever but so simple and straight forward, yet still incredibly layered and thoughtful. Also I love when he writes more directly about his personal inner life and thoughts and how he feels about himself. That's when I find him at his best.

Another set of absolutely gorgeous lyrics with powerful imagery is Love Is A Laserquest, the most heartbreaking thing ever. "When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair, singing dreadful songs about summer. Will I have found a better method of pretending you were just some lover." It's just so impressively well put and makes us feel SO MUCH with such simple words. Contains MULTITUDES.

Also, I've always enjoyed the way he makes his lyrics feel like almost rap verses, and he has the most amazing flow and he shoves in so many words and different rhythms and tongue twisters and I just love the creativity he applied to his lyrics. An all time favourite song of theirs for me is Red Lights Indicate Doors Are Secured, and especially this bit just sounds so delicious "Drunken plots hatched to jump it, ask around "are you sure?" Went for it but the red light was showing, and the red light indicates doors are secured."

Another example of this is him spitting in Curtains Close "Cause I'm a mad mother-fucker with my curtains open, sitting tucked up in bed."

15. favourite arctic monkeys b-side?

Uuughghjjjj I looooove their b-sides, they're literally incredible.

Nettles is a massive fave, Temptation Greets You, Red Right Hand, Electricity, Wirral Riddler, 7, You And I, I.D.S.T... I could keep going forever 😂😂

Thank you so much for the lovely questions ❤️

Similar to that Mandarin poem using the syllable 'shi' over and over again; there's a Japanese tongue twister that's literally 80% the syllables 'ni wa'

niwa ni wa niwa niwatori ga iru

Two chickens are sitting in the garden.

Oh that's brilliant! If there's something you can do like that with a language, odds are good that someone's done it!

There's bound to be something at least similar with English. Wonder what our rap music sounds like to other languages.

646.

How are you doing today? >> Could be better, could be worse. I’m still a bit depressed but I’m hoping it’ll even out. The Inworlders have been very helpful.

What was the best thing that happened to you today? >> Er... I mean, nothing. Nothing much has happened at all.

Which cell phone network are you on? >> Boost Mobile.

Do you like the smell of cinnamon? >> Sure.

What was the last book you've read? >> The last book I finished was a reread of PZB’s Lost Souls. I’m working on Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood right now.

Are you hungry right now? >> No.

What was the last thing you've had to drink? >> Water.

How often do you visit this website? >> This website? Daily. Bzoink? Whenever I need a new survey to take (not that I always find one, mind you. Bzoink is very hit or miss with a marked emphasis on “miss”.)

Do you like frogs? >> I mean... not particularly? They’re cool sometimes, I guess. Mostly they’re just... there.

Are you afraid of dying? >> Sometimes.

Do you like bananas? >> I hate bananas.

Name a movie that you hate. >> I didn’t like Meet the Spartans. That whole genre of movie should have stopped at Scary Movie.

Do you like the show American Dad? >> No. Maybe I just don’t get it.

What TV show do you miss the most that's no longer on TV? >> Galavant.

Are you currently fighting with someone right now? >> No.

Is your life full of drama? >> It really isn’t.

How long can you hold your breath underwater >> I don’t know.

Where's the last place you've been to out of state? >> Houston, Texas.

Have you ever been kissed in the rain? >> Probably.

What letter does your last name start with. >> D.

What are you listening to right now? >> Nothing.

Have you ever had a pet that died? >> Wasn’t my pet, per se. Vlad had a cat die whlie I was living there, and Sparrow’s cat died this past October.

Would you rather use a trackpad or a mouse? >> Depends on what I’m doing. For just using the internet or whatever my trackpad works fine, but when I’m gaming I obviously need a mouse.

Do you consider yourself politically intelligent? >> No.

Have you ever done any volunteer work? >> No.

Do you like the Beatles? >> No.

Is it night time where you're at right now? >> No, it’s early afternoon.

Do you eat healthy? >> I just eat, man. Whatever.

How often do you work out? >> I don’t.

What was the best gift you've ever received? >> *shrug*

Have you ever participated in a spelling bee? >> Yeah. When I was in fourth grade, I won the spelling bee in my school, so I was supposed to go on to regionals -- but apparently, fourth-graders were too young to go to regionals. I was the first fourth-grader to win in the school bee’s history so they’d never had to deal with that. My father raised a big stink about it because he said that if fourth-graders aren’t eligible for regionals, they shouldn’t have been allowed to participate in the school bee in the first place. Somehow this conflict was so interesting to people (or my father’s just such an adept big-stink-raiser, which is most likely) that it ended up in the newspaper and on the evening news. ...And no, I personally did not fucking care either way. This was just one more example of adults placing undue importance on something that did not matter to me and never would matter in the grand scheme of my life, and just shoving me into a spotlight regardless of my feelings. Also, fuck spelling bees as a concept anyway.

If you could have one wish right now, what would it be? >> ---

Are you the jealous type of person? >> No.

Do you have any major regrets in your life? >> Meh.

Have you ever thought about running away? >> Yeah.

Do you like French toast? >> I like it a certain way.

Are you a fast typer? >> Yes.

Are you good at doing math in your head? >> Some math.

SF9 in Boston Member Impressions

Okay so I still need some time to process everything. But basically every member of SF9 is so talented and beautiful and a wonderful human being. And I’m shook by all of them. This is going to be super long so I’m putting it under the cut!

Youngbin highkey seemed really tired. His moves weren’t as sharp as they normally are, and a couple of times I saw he was a quarter beat behind on the choreography. Nothing super big but I think SF9′s busy schedules have been taking a toll on our leader! He still worked really hard to interact with fans and he seemed happy. Also his ENGLISH. Dude. I was VERY impressed with it. He spoke very clearly and his pronunciation was spot on. He also seemed like he could follow the MC’s comments without needing Inseong to translate.

Inseong was amazing and I’m shook by him. He was already a biaswrecker for me along with Taeyang but he has officially shoved Taeyang over to be my #1 Official Biaswrecker. I was sitting in the second row of the mezzanine level and from the lighting angle/maybe because the shape of his eyes every time he was center and singing, it looked like he was staring straight at me/my area. You can definitely feel his passion for singing by watching him and all around he was energetic and happy the whole night.

Jaeyoon OH BOY. This boy was HYPER AF the entire night. While each member was doing their special fan-chosen talent he kept standing up and doing this weird wiggle dance thing that was half-cute and half-sexy? And that basically describes him the entire night–just busting out random dance moves and being an all-around great and goofy performer. Did I mention that he’s actually BEAUTIFUL? He’s so so pretty. I’m jealous. And his voice. Damn. He sang a bit of “Believer” by Imagine Dragons and my heart stopped.

Dawon MY HYPER SON. This kid is downright dangerous. He was crazy hyper like Jaeyoon and super extra per usual but also there were a million moments where I screamed out loud because of him. Example A: there was a point where he was just wearing his black t-shirt and he rolled up the sleeves because he was hot ‘n sweaty and DAMN. HIS ARMS. HIS ARMS. Idk if someone has pictures or videos but I need them now. Anyway he was super happy and energetic and basically everything I expected from him.

Zuho has amazing stage presence. Like I swear I was trying to watch Hwiyoung and my eyes would just naturally wander over to Zuho because that boy just takes up space on stage. Not physically per say but he definitely is very confident and he was super relaxed when performing and interacting with fans. During one of his raps (either Fanfare or Roar I can’t remember rip) he took off his jacket and FLUNG it across the stage and I straight up melted. Literally every time it was his part the audience got ten times more hype. Also he was so cute with his fanservice especially to the mezzanine and balcony levels! He made sure to do things specifically for the balcony level (the highest level) which was really sweet of him. Also during the last chorus of Easy Love he slipped and fell but was super professional about it and got up and kept dancing and had this stupid grin on his face the ENTIRE time all the way to the end of the song so you knew he was having a good time.

Rowoon is so so so so so handsome. Like I already knew that before the concert, but seeing him in real life? Mind-blowing. He was super sweet and also seemed pretty hyper compared to what I was expecting. Bless him for elongating Taeyang’s girl group dance by pointing out that Taeyang’s butt looked really good dancing to Very Very Very (IOI) and telling him to dance again with his back facing the audience. He like Zuho was also really great with fanservice to mezzanine and balcony levels. AND he killed the English tongue twister (it was the Peter Piper one).

Taeyang like Zuho also has amazing stage presence. There’s just something so intense about his eyes?? Basically he looked like every fancam I’ve seen him in, flawless as always. He was also super greasy with the winks and body touches and his smile GOOD LORD HIS SMILE IS BEAUTIFUL. His English pronunciation was also really good!

Hwiyoung my bias my shy baby my everything asdfghjkl. He is SO FRICKIN BEAUTIFUL. SO HANDSOME. HOLY MOTHERALKJLGLSDVKJFHL. Every time he rapped in a song he would smile to himself for a solid five seconds and his. stupid. smile. makes. me. want. to. throw. myself. at. a. wall. He seemed really happy throughout the night, even if he was a lot mellower than most of the other members. That’s pretty normal for him though. Anyway he and Chani played the 참참참 (cham cham cham) game and he lost so then he looked at the MC and asked, “one more please?” and I lost it. His English is so cute. His pronunciation is not the greatest, but it’s still understandable and literally I love everything about him. Ugh.

Chani like his dad Youngbin also seemed pretty tired to me. :( But he still tried his hardest and I was very impressed by the energy in his dancing! Also he was SUPER extra during his special fan-chosen talent. Fans apparently said they wanted “wild” Chani over “cute” Chani in the SubK survey, and so Chani being the little shit he is went “I prepared something. But I need a wall and there is no wall.” At that point, the girl sitting next to me and I both screamed “I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE” lol. Anyway, Chani made Taeyang and Rowoon stand side by side to be his wall and had Youngbin stand in front of the “wall” to act as Chani’s girlfriend. THEN CHANI FKIN SHOVED YOUNGBIN AGAINST THE HUMAN WALL AND KABEDON’D HIM. (if u don’t know what this means dw I’ll gif it soon) ALL OF US LOST OUR SHIT. THIS KID. Also I knew his voice was low but I didn’t realize how low it was until I heard it in real life. It was actually crazy. Anyway yeah I’m sorry I didn’t really take a lot of time to process my impressions toward Chani like I did for some other members but I’m pretty sure he also had fun and I hope he gets a lot of rest when he goes back to Korea because bb looked like he needed a long nap!

BTS Starbucks Drinks

Suga

Midnight Mint Mocha Frappucino

This drink has layers of dark chocolate and coffee, just like how he has layers of savageness in him. At the same time, it has “cooling mint crystals” cuz let’s be honest, Suga’s swag is off the charts. A dollop of cream at the top cuz he’s actually a sweet baby

Kookie

Espresso con Panna

Espresso encompasses his personality, fierce, strong and bitter (looks like someone loves to remind his members about the things they did wrong) At the same time, he’s so extra just like how this drink needs a dollop of cream.

Jimin

S’mores Frappucino

This drink literally has everything from marshmallow creme to graham crumbles. Just like this drink, he’s super sweet and he encompasses everything you want in a boyfriend. His aesthetic is literally the warmth of snuggling together in front of the campfire.

TaeTae

Unicorn Frappucino

What more to say? Just like this drink, V has a bunch of weird shit blended in him to create a magical drink that’s flavour-changing and colour-changing. He’s a peculiar person that raises everyone’s optimism on life.

Jin

Strawberry Acai Refresher a.k.a Pink Drink

“A refreshing sip of spring, no matter the season” That’s exactly what Jin is. He is the definition of life and happiness and a carefree spirit. Just like this drink has Acai, Jin has a special something in him that people tend to overlook.

Hobi

Caramel Brulée Latte

The dessert is too good that Starbucks had to make a drink out of it. That’s exactly what Hobi is, a straight out sweet guy with so many talents. Like how this drink is a Christmas Special, every second with Hobi is like celebrating a festive.

Rap Mon

Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato

This drink is so complex and intricate, even the name can be part of a tongue twister. Just like how RapMon is a person who is multi-talented and is very philosophical about everything. At the same time, he is just like the 5 layers of sweetness this drink has.

BTS Series:

BTS Fairies

BTS Greek Gods

BTS Seven Deadly Sins

BTS Natural Phenomenon

BTS Colours

BTS Spirit Animals
