hi im back i swear i could talk ab iland for hours fr ...

smth i wanna talk ab is their friendships on the show and moments that i think ab A LOTTT

- heeseung and jungwon!! i think they grew close very early on esp bc they were in iland together from the start and u could see how sad hee was when jungwon almost got emiminated. like boy was in tears SOBBING when jungwon came back from that dam egg and i felt in that moment u could rlly see how much jungwon meant to him and he couldnt lose him

- JAY AND NIKI like when jay came back to iland and cried that niki didnt make it 😭 they were THAT DUO™️ in the ground stressing out teaching everyone fire. i think they were the perfecr pair to lead bc they both had an insane amount of passion and determination like niki was one of the only ones that understood why jay wanted them to keep practicing and not fall behind bc they both knew how much was on the line. they were also on the same team multiple times which caused them to grow close and the fact that jay was one of the ones who could speak japanese so niki definitely clung onto him and jay would help him out a lot :')

- SUNOO AND JAEBEOM. one of the most purest friendships on the show i swear. they experienced ground and iland together and in the behind cams THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE GOSSIPING ALL THE TIME IT WAS SO CUTE. and the fact that sunoo used one of his calls to call jaebeom omg 😭 theyre probably still friends til this day since sunoo cherishes all of his friendships i rlly need them to vlog tgth or smth i miss them sm

- sunoo and taki 😭 when sunoo said he wanted taki as a real little brother I SOBBED. i think another anon talked ab them so i wont get into it much but im so happy theyre still close and we see them interact a lot

- enha 02z omg. iland is where jakehoon rlly took off and it was so endearing to witness their friendship blossom on the show. and jayhoon ☹️☹️☹️ i love every jay duo in enha but jayhoon (and heejay) takes the cake for me. when sunghoon worried more about taking jays place during the dance unit over winning it showed how much their friendship means to him. and when jay says the iconic line "my one and only unit" LIKE THEY ENTERED ILAND TOGETHER AND DEBUTED TOGETHER IT CANT BE MORE PERFECT THAN THAT. and during pt. 2 i loved how in the behind cams we got to see all 3 of them get closer and become the iconic 02z trio we know and love today (im just so happy they all got to debut together it was seriously fate)

- jay and k. so yes, k was really bad on the show and his competitiveness got the best of him. it was sad to watch how he treated other ppl sometimes and i'll say hes grown from it and is in &team now and takes care of the members well. (i watched &audition and his character development was crazy so good for him) but in iland u can tell how much jay really values k as an older brother. jay was one of the older contestants so he probably felt like he had to shoulder a lot and be a leader but when k is around i feel like he got to relax a little more yk? and as we know enha and esp jay dont really have many friends outside of the group (besides sunoo) and im glad theyre still very close til this day.

sorry this was so long u fr opened the floodgates for me skdjs

HELLO !! feel free to 🤝 i love talking about iland (i am hyperfixated)

omg yes there were so many cute friendships that i wish mnet covered more !! :( jungwon and heeseung were so meant to be friends like 🥹🥹 omg in the ghost episode when jungwon slept in heeseung's bed was the first time i realized that he rlly lets himself be a kid around hee 🥰 NO YEAH MY HEART BROKE THAT EPISODE 😭 heeseung's sobbing actually hurt me holy shit i hate mnet for what they put those boys through

omg i felt so sad when jay went up without riki and started crying into k's shoulder 😭 ALSO WHEN JAY DID HIS MASSAGES FOR EVERYONE LOLL i definitely feel like jay jake riki and sunoo (and daniel) grew a lot closer in ground but i was so soft for jayki:') 💘💘 OMG YES SUNOO AND JAEBEOM WERE SO CUTE i just feel like they matched each other's energy so well !! i wish iland showed more interactions because jaebeom clearly had gotten close with more ilanders (sunghoon nominating him for parts, them using sunoo's call to call jaebeom) but i think mnet just focused on the drama + training + a few select friendships

that part where taki was crying on his way to ground and sunoo held his hand and walked him to the building ☹️☹️ they were too cute!!! but yes i remember their pictures together from hanging out n im so happy they're still close 🥰 omg "my one and only unit" changed the trajectory of my life forever like it's been my bio for two years now because of how insane of a hold it has over me 😵‍💫 02z were so so cute :')) part of the reason why i was so sad that ej got eliminated in pt 1 but we got so many cute jaykehoon moments 🥹💖 the entire ghost episode made me ADOREEE them like jake and sunghoon going everywhere together and pranking jay in the bathroom,, then their little dispute "i'll walk you to your room and then we'll walk to mine" "you cant even walk to your room by yourself??" and then jake getting all riled up and saying he could only to run back to sunghoon 😭😭 AND JAY AND JAKE SAYING THEYD SHOWER TOGETHER BC THEY WERE SO SCARED 😭🤚

omg yes jay was so cute around k he let himself be a little brother 🥹🥹 i think he needed that person he could go to and be vulnerable because he tried to put up a strong front a lot of the time and was under so much pressure 🤧 literally cried at the part of him writing all of those letters with his mosquito bitten hands :(( omg yeah i wanna know if enha have more idol friends HAHHA i know heeseung's friends with jeongin, beomgyu, and lim jimin and i know a few members are friends with tnx members OH and shotaro and riki are friends 🥰🥰💖💖

HAHAH no need to apologize i feel insane over iland friendships too 😵

Thinking about this Marjan plot...I was a little underwhelmed with the way things played out. I mean, I was entertained by the episode and I like that she's getting her own focus, but I would prefer there to be a POINT to her leaving the 126 in order for the whole thing to be really satisfying. At the end of this last episode, she comes to the realization that her purpose is to save people. I feel like she already knew that though? I'm crossing my fingers that there ends up being more to it than that in the next episode. I'm not sure exactly what this twist is going to be, but I feel like it has to do with the little girl in the promo. I've seen some speculation on it that seems very interesting.

!!!! it does feel like we’ve already seen this plot with the couple that made marjan realize that she’s not doing it for fame but because she wants to help people. and i feel like the reason why she’s a firefighter is very clear and repeatedly reminded to us, so yeah, this feels repetitive and her leaving 126 feels way too dragged out and dramatic. and if there’s not more to it in the next episode (i honestly don’t think there is unfortunately) then i literally don’t see the point here other than ~drama~.

listen, i really don’t want to be a mood killer but i do feel like natacha is overhyping this a bit. and i get why and this isn’t hate towards her, i know she’s just happy marjan is getting her own storyline and that she just can’t wait for us to see her work and i know that she loves marjan and that she’s important to her, but the first interview she did?? where she said that she’s gonna be away for a while?? and marjan is back in what?? 3 episodes?? i feel like she made it sound way too dramatic. so i don’t know if i should expect a big BIG twist or not skdj but the girl is interesting and i surely hope we get to see maybe her past?? or just that the episode will be good (praying at this point).

i don’t know, i feel like i’m just a hater this season lol. but the episodes just don’t hit the same anymore and i don’t know what changed.

#i feel so bad now sksj #natacha is a queen and should hype up her work #it’s the script that i have a problem with #is chaotic the right word to describe lone star now??

Hellooooo!! It's tomorrow now!!

Aiden nooooooo I adore characteristics that give away a character's affection so much!! Cat Eyed!Felix always having dilated pupils around Cove I'm 🥺🥺😭😭 <- this is also Cove realizing the implications skdjs

Plant magic!!!!!!! I was gonna ask if they vibe with plants or garden at all but it's right there in the hc post skdks. What other hobbies do they have??

Magic tattoos, hell yeah!! I know that step 4 Felix has a sleeve (are the flowers poppies or something else?) but does he have any other tattoos? Did I see you mention somewhere a matching tattoo with Cove or did I make that up??

Anw hope you're having a good day!!

hey stormberrii, i hope youre having a lovely day as well <3 currently, school is kicking me in the ass but while i wait for my pc to restart i will take the time to answer this,,,

other than tending for plants, felix (as also vaguely mentioned in past posts) has a knack for music! as a middleschooler, they picked up drums and electric guitar which then gets switched out for acoustic guitar when step 3 rolls in. he also likes collecting accessories, or anything that's shiny. part of me likes to think that most of the beach treasures they end up taking home is just a crap ton of sea glass. however, out of all of those his favorite hobby is. teasing cove. (/hj)

also yes, i definitely mentioned the "matching tattoos" thing and they are indeed supposed to be the white linen poppies. my initial thought for it is with that "other half" thing cove and the mc has going on, felix got a white poppy tattoo on his left arm to mirror cove's :> (tbh when i thought about it i felt so big brained it was kinda funny to witness)

and finally, no, i don't think felix got any tattoos anywhere else. however, he did get a tongue piercing as a result of poor impulse control 💀

#yk how in ol:nf the li's has titles like queen of the forest or king of the cul-de-sac #if ol:ba characters had that #felix would probably be called phantom of the hill #and he hangs out there literally only because of the poppies #aiden.oc #aiden.lore

All of your wips sound super interesting! I can't decide sooo, could you tell me more about the one you're most excited for? ❤

ahh thanku caitlin!! i mean i have to say i constantly forget that i actually have wips bc most of them are more like concepts than actual fics akdjksd but [redacted] with raven @belloves, if we ever actually finish it lmao, will be such a cool project and im super excited for that! don't know how much i can actually say about it tho since we're doing it together and idk what she wants to share dshksjds so i guess the one after that is the kieutou grease au??

ive got barely anything in mind yet tbh but i watched it a while ago and i was like 'wait this is like. literally kieutou they ARE kieutou' sooo the idea was born! im gonna have to mix up the story a bit tho skdjs bc it doesnt fully work and also uh ive seen this movie 4 times now and still dont fully understand the plot? but yeah grease intro the cashqueens welcome fatou to her new school (she does already know ava tho) after her summer fling with kieu my, they don't realise theyre at the same school until they do (lmao) and kieu my puts on the ice queen persona in front of the instas and breaks fatous heart </3 and after that im not sure yet bc as i said the story doesnt fully work (and i am also not a huge fan of the ending which is basically 'if you want someone to like you youve just gotta pretend to be someone youre not!') but we'll get to that later jdksjd

hi!! i adore ur art n i SUPER love the way u draw silver so i was wondering if,, maybe just a little silvy doodle?? ':>

of course!!

i like to think that sonic and shad post-06 have been helping him find healthy outlets for his stress/anxiety/depression - sonic helps silver make calming playlists with ambient noises (waves/streams/forest sounds) and chill beats (wave music, lofi/lofi hip-hop, those chill ds game tracks, etc.) while shad takes him out for walks (rouge sometimes joins them as well, taking them to fun spots (and packs earplugs for both him and herself as they can both get overwhelmed by too much noise/commotion) or out shopping/to eat),, 

here’s what he’s listening to,, ( x ) 

#anon #blendini art #just some hcs ive been thinkin about #especially after the events of 06 and just me lowkey self-projecting skdjsk #its hard to find a happy place sometimes but i find that - through my own personal experience - that going outside and getting some form #of simulation/stimulation - whether it be shopping or just walking around and absorbing the sights and sounds - really makes a difference #its refreshing and helps when im feeling stuffy or feel trapped - music has also opened my eyes and visualising scenes/animatics or just #getting emotional through lyrics/tunes can make a big difference too #rambles #but yeah!! been in a silver doodlin groove skdjs #anything for you anon <3

[mitskiacoustic]

ok this is gonna be a bit long I think sjdj

so initial premise: the Taylor I'm talking about is the one that was like at her peak of exposure which imo is the red/1989/rep era and I talk about it in the terms of how I saw it all as someone who was in the go at the time and for harry I'm also talking about the gp

so I think they have a LOT of similarities:

they became really famous around the same time which was also the peak of fandom and pop culture as it used to be in the past decade

let's be honest a lot of the exposure to the go they got was due to their high profile relationships and exes

both made sure to use those relationships for exposure/popularity/selling stuff as much as possible and their music is heavy on the details about their exes

both of them were very clearly "meant to he successful" from the start (meaning a lot of money was spent in making sure that happened)

both of them were wayyyy overhyped imo like yeah I listen to both their music but like imo the praise Taylor got back then/harry gets now is overproportionate to what they actually do and this imo impacts the way they are seen because the more you hype something the more its gonna be evident/disappointing when they don't deliver

re the last point: this is highlighted even more by the fact that their most popular songs are definitely not their best ones

both are white and pretty

in the same vein as the music hype, they also get a lot of praise for "political things" and again, in both cases it showed how much that was inflated when you look at what they actually are doing/saying and both often end up looking like the usual dumb white rich people

both have been heavily shipped in gay ships and have a BIG part of their fanbase thinking they aren't straight which generated an equal and opposite reaction in normal people (I think maybe in the gp there's more people who think Harry is actually not straight but still, the shipping stuff is heavily made fun of in the gp) I mean I remember during this June when Harry Taylor (and louis) were all in the top 10 artists that were mentioned in the #pride ashtag and the comments were all like 🤦🏻‍♀️ skdj

Taylor back then and harry now created a lot of overexposure (they were/are literally everywhere) and that gets pretty annoying pretty soon

both of them have very annoying and loud fanbases when u see it through the gp's eyes

OK I think that's it (something is probably gonna come to my mind later sjdj) but yeah like imo based on all this harry is getting closer and closer to being seen as the way she has been seen since like 2014.

although I have to say I think Taylor realized a lot of this stuff in the past years and fixed some things a lot like the music has gotten better, the relationship is not high profile and not splashed everywhere anymore and she's also not as overexposed anymore and imo it's really working well for her! but I don't see harry getting there any time soon dkkdk

OK I hope this made some sense??

YES this makes sense. the part about them both being meant for success, i can't talk much abt taylor bc i wasn't ever invested in her (but i think someone close to her was from the music industry itself ?? this info again is from a ts post, i know nothing abt her 🧍‍♀️) but harry yeah 100%. like, out of 1D he was very obviously singled out for success, but like, not much happened till fine line (which is weird bc imo hs1 was a much better album). fine line was when his fandom grew soo much, god. (and i don't understand why ppl chose wms of all songs to blow up. it isn't a 'bad' song but i literally can't listen to it bc of how overhyped it is.)

and the last para yeah.....for harry rn, there's no music out. fans understand he's acting now but even that's getting overshadowed with holivia being shoved into their faces every 3 days rip. (also gonna say, a lot of his fans r here only bc of the Harry Styles™ image. [here im speaking from personal experience bc some of the 'die hard harries' i've met irl haven't even heard any songs of his outside of the popular ones- wms, adore you, sott)] and like the moment focus shifts a good part of his fanbase that's here only for the Image & not the music will vanish 😐)

LIKE, the way he's being portrayed (no actual relation to fans- his main bond w fans was during tour, he has literally no social media presence & to add to that this mess with the tickets + him not wearing masks during a pandemic etc), it'll soon become only harry lovers or harry haters, no in between. and they're gonna attach smth to him like they attached 'feminism' to miss swift 🚶🏻‍♀️

3: Do you have any unusual kinks/fetishes?

Hmm I don’t think so? Everything I thought was weird, like jus casually having someone inside me w/o necessarily actually having sex, or having my fingers sucked on, is apparently quite common skdjs though my finger/s being sucked on being a turn on was 100% a surprise. was literally just watching it happen like WOW why is this turning me on so much

9: Have you ever had sex in a public place?

Nope

11: What does your favourite sexy underwear look like?

I don’t have any u_u would v much like some tho

13: Is there anybody right now you’d like to have sex with?

@you-better-make-me

21: Have you ever had a threesome? If not, would you?

I have not! But sure, why not

29: Favourite body part on the same sex?

Yep, its alright i guess?? sksdj kinda sweet... its jus an easy way of cleaning up my fingers when i dont wanna move yet

38: Best sexual complement you ever got?

uhh huh. i dont know how to. determine if a compliment is sexual. i cant think of any that are explicitly sexual at least that arent based on hypotheticals. aside from i guess like a couple years ago i was told the noises i make are hot but, yeah

60: If you were the other sex for a day, what are five things you would do?

guessin this means if i were amab for a day, so! well. 1, i would very much enjoy having a flat chest, time to wear anything that was previously too clingy. 2, obviously i would try out jerking off. 3, MIGHT even try doing something anally. 4, if i could, id try fucking someone, the closest i get to bottom dysphoria is when i have someone in my lap or im between their legs and i just really wish i could be inside them, i know strap ons exist but its not quite the same? i wanna feel it. 5, take so many pictures probably.

MY ATEEZ MV THEORY: HOW THEY ALL CONNECT

Okay ah hahah so I wrote this in like june/july and kind of forgot about it in my drafts but now that everyone is putting out these theories regarding the new comeback i was like wait i want to be smart too so I dusted this off and revised it and so 짠 here it is

This is just my perspective of treasure ep 1-3 and how it all tied together and how ateez is going to move forward with it. Honestly its kind of a mess so I put a TLDR at the bottom huueh but if anyone wants to talk about it with me just slide into me inbox/dms! yeehaw lets go

So!

ATEEZ’s name itself means that they represent the all teenagers from A to Z, including their dreams and ambitions. States of dreaming and waking seem to be a common theme throughout their lyrics and visuals of their title tracks. When they say their MVs are connected in a story, I think it’s a switch between being awake and being asleep, which has been said by the members and also interpreted similarly by other ATINY. Hongjoong also mentioned that the story wasn’t released linearly, as in their Say My Name MV reaction, he says that Treasure Ep. 2: Zero to One is actually the prequel to Treasure Ep. 1: All to Zero. HALA HALA and Say My Name (Treasure ep. 2) come before Treasure and Pirate King (Treasure ep. 1), and then followed by Illusion and Wave (Treasure ep. 3). 

(so uhh s/o to my european intellectual history prof who lectured forever and ever about freud because its what made me understand the importance of dreams and how life can be interpreted through dreams blah blah blah)

Going back to the MVs. Let’s start with HALA HALA, which is the beginning of the story.

The whole aesthetic of HALA HALA is very dark, violent, and mysterious. The outfits / makeup, as well as the location of the MV have a very concentrated concept: layered black clothes, chains, masked faces, sirens, flashing lights, very chaotic and anarchic. Even the choreography focuses more on the feel of the song rather than precise dance moves. A brief fight between San and Jongho in the 2nd pre-chorus may represent that, at this time, there was conflict within the team and they were unable to cooperate. It also ends with the members collapsing, with only Wooyoung standing. I think HALA HALA represents their nightmare, which is a result of their dark unconscious taking over their dreams. The unconscious holds unfulfilled wishes and unspoken desires.

“I’m nervous, my heart is pounding, this is the first time I’ve felt this way, meeting a new side of me” ➙ slipping into their nightmare, they may not understand what is happening, since in everyday life, they aren’t aware of their dark desires 

“Deep in my heart, deep in my soul” ➙ referring to the unconscious

 For ATEEZ, their unconscious may hold feelings of despair and frustration from working so hard for their goals. These desires will manifest themselves in dreams, on the surface level, as the images and events they see. Dreams can be further analyzed for certain symbols or themes to reveal those unconscious thoughts, which is what I believeTreasure Ep.2 is about. HALA HALA expresses a very primal desire to be on top, resorting to violence and chaos to reach their objective. Its a manifestation of raw emotions.

“Surprise, standing applause. Suicide Squad, the reality. Frightening, lets get burning now.” ➙ Suicide Squad were villains with nothing to lose, they’re willing to do anything to be the best 

“We’re rising sun. No one refutes us, no. Burning hot.” 

After being consumed by their ambitions, their dream turned into a nightmare. They couldn’t work together as a team and ended up destroying each other in the process, so that only one was left standing (Wooyoung), without the rest of his members. Which is why in Say My Name, they’re begging to be woken up.

Say My Name and HALA HALA have a lot of similar symbols in the MVs. The figures from HALA HALA make frequent appearances, and ATEEZ seems to be confronting them, or sees them in different places. Those figures appear as antagonists, keeping ATEEZ from waking up. It is, however, revealed in the end that Seonghwa was interrogating himself, showing that they are their own antagonists and it was their own unconscious that is keeping them from waking up. The lyrics heavily imply that ATEEZ wants to wake up, and are encouraging the listener (ATINY) to say their name repeatedly in order for them to escape their sleep. 

“Say my name, wake me up from sleep, say my name one more time”

They aspire to wake up and see the world again, and don’t want to be trapped in their HALA HALA nightmare anymore. 

“Looking only at the moon, seeing how beautiful the world is” 

Lets talk about some of the symbols in this MV and what they represent in dreams: 

The horn motif, which Hongjoong carries and is constantly center (visually), means that the dreamer needs to pay more attention to their inner voice and intuition.

San is seen looking in a mirror, seeing his own reflection as well as HALA HALA Yeosang, symbolizing a need to confront elements from the subconscious. He is also surrounded by shards of broken mirror, symbolizing poor or distorted self-image, and a need to put an end to old-habits / behavior. 

Yeosang in his ‘cage’ indicates inhibitions and a feeling of confinement, seemingly by the HALA HALA figure (which I think is San?) pacing around him.

Yunho is seen at a desk, holding a quill and surrounded by a mess of supplies. The quill, a utensil for writing, cautions the dreamer of the power of words (maybe lyrics). Sitting at this messy desk shows that he is working through his problems, and figuring out his priorities. The hourglass on the desk represents a deadline, that time is running out.

wow I really feel like a high school english teacher

Some scenes are designed to appear as a museum, which represents a ****non-traditional path to success and risk-taking****, and also reflecting and learning from personal history. (I think this one is really important)

Typewriters represent a desire to communicate, maybe with ATINY, who is waking ATEEZ up. They all seem to be frantically trying to communicate in these scenes.

I think the hooded figures in Hongjoong’s scenes represent those who may try to deceit or underestimate ATEEZ, and since he’s the captain / leader, he is confronting them.

The strobe lights / flashing between Say My Name and HALA HALA represents chaos in waking up, skewing perspective… maybe making everything seem like an ILLUSION

I’m getting a little ahead because now we need to talk about Treasure and Pirate King.

So, storyline-wise, Treasure is supposed to come right after Say My Name, since we hear the beginning of the song at the end of the MV. Now that ATEEZ is awake, they’re embarking on a journey to find their Treasure. 

“It can complete us, or it can destroy us, and it can change the world. People call it… treasure” // “It doesn’t matter what you dream for. So let me ask you. What is your treasure?… Will you join us?” (intro: long journey)

In the Treasure MV, they’re in the desert, which is mentioned in lyrics in HALA HALA (”In the middle of the desert, a few more footprints, we keep going until the wind reaches the end of the sand”), and there is a moon in the sky, as mentioned in Say My Name’s lyrics (”When the moonlight calls us”). This song is about their new goals, finding their treasure together (ATEEZ + ATINY). 

“Lets leave for somewhere far away, it’s calling us, my treasure” 

“Hold my hand, finding you in my dreams. It continues to shine on us: starlight” 

“It’s fine with the two of us, I’m all set, let’s get it when you set baam”. 

They’re willing to do whatever it takes to reach their goals. 

“Nobody can stop us. To stop us, there’s no way”. 

Pirate King is a continuation of Treasure, and idk why Pirate King doesn’t have an actual MV (which kind of bothers me) but the lyrics at least provide some insight into the story line. Pirate King is more about achieving something together. 

“Now raise the anchor, walk with a dark heart. Anywhere, we can go. Whatever we are, you can follow us, hold your hand high. Under the burning light, you and me in the bright spot. Step 1,2,3 and 1,2,3 Let's go. Will you be my friend?”. 

Whenever they talk about “you and me”, they’re both referring to them, ATEEZ, together as members, as well as ATEEZ and ATINY together. We’ll help them achieve their goals, and they’re asking us to trust them and stay loyal to them as they complete their journey. 

“Anywhere, it doesn’t matter if you’re alone, hold my hand. I can go anywhere with you. Whatever stops us, I can get through it all. We can make everything together”. 

** OKAY SO HEAR ME OUT THIS IS SOMETHING NEW THAT I THOUGHT OF BECAUSE I COULDN’T FIGURE OUT HOW EP 1 FLOWED INTO EP 3 BUT OK LET ME EXPLAIN:

ok so even though in the storyline ep 2 comes before ep 1, I think ep 1 is a flashback to bEFORE ateez became “evil” and “nightmarish” because they were getting shit done and being with atiny and yay 

it makes more sense to go from say my name into illusion, because in say my name they want to wake up but are being stopped because of HALA HALA, and then illusion is more of a - wait or it - ILLUSION because they aren’t really awake yet

WAIT I JUST REMEMBERED i wrote that the flashing lights and cutting between say my name outfits and HALA HALA outfits in the end of the say my name MV represented CHAOS IN WAKING UP AND SKEWING PERSPECTIVE YES ITS TYING TOGETHER

so yeah i think ep 1 is a flashback to how ATEEZ was before their whole journey began, but their story technically starts from HALA HALA

i think they did this so they can continue to have flashbacks / time jumps in future comebacks alskdjl;skdj KQ your M I N D

so HALA HALA / Say My Name ➙ flashback with Treasure / Pirate King ➙ continue from Say My Name into Illusion / Wave

phew okay so

So now that ATEEZ is starting to wake up, they get a little too excited about getting back to achieving their goals that they become delusional and imagine this amazing Utopia where everything is great and happy when in reality, they’re still stuck in their dreams.

“I saw it, felt it, in my dream that day. I’m sure that we will find it someday. Following the blurry afterimage, one stroke each night. Sketch the map”. 

For ATEEZ, that Utopia would be where they can be together with ATINY, having achieved all their goals, and can just relax and party and have a good time….

Now we’re in an Illusion! We’re still asleep, technically. The fake looking effects in the video add to the “illusion” concept, and everything looks a little too perfect. 

“I feel like I’m dreaming, please don’t wake me up… a day, two days, three days, four days. I don’t know what date it is today. Who and where am I, and who are you? Its the first feeling I’ve ever felt. Here is paradise. I don’t know, just party all night long”. 

They literally don’t know whats going on or what day it is or where they are, but they need to realize that this happiness is fake, and only temporary. All the colors in the MV and lyrics seem artificial, as we can see in the visuals, and are also described in the lyrics: 

“The bluish sun, the purple star” 

“its dazzling, dazzling, dazzling, oh dazzling” 

“On the pink island. On the iridescent ocean. Should I draw a more fantastic dream? Everything is beautiful here…” 

There are also symbols that connect back to the previous dream MVs, HALA HALA and Say My Name, with the masks from HALA HALA making a reappearance as well as a brief silhouette of a HALA HALA figure. We also get more symbolism of the hourglass and a compass. Theres also writing on the boat but my blind ass can’t read anything but one of the quotes says “the creative adult is the child who survived”, which contributes to the child-like nature of the MV. Towards the end of the MV, when they’re all marveling at the mystical scenery, they run through the tunnel where the HALA HALA figure was. This represents them snapping out of the illusion / trance to pursue their goals again. The end of the Illusion MV is them sleeping in the Wave MV settings, on a more realistic island. Now they’re waking up / snapping out of their illusion to keep pursuing their goals.

Before the Wave MV, though, is the Crescent track, which connects Illusion and Wave. 

“Open your eyes”. 

This represents them waking up, and now we’re in the superior title track #TeamWave. Once waking up, they band together again and just have a GOOD TIME which honestly is all I want for them. The lyrics talk about difficulties they may encounter during their journey, but to not take everything too seriously, and emphasizing the importance of having fun while doing what you love, even if its difficult. 

“Shout after sweeping your hair up, hakuna matata ya… Go over the tough wave” 

“Wherever you are I will be there. Hold my hands, hold my hands, we both are enough. Its okay if it’s more difficult, we’re just gonna play on it, we’re just going on~ 

If this moment is our wave, don’t be afraid and face it head on. We’re hotter than others under the sun, so don’t worry, go over the tough wave”. 

Treasure ep. 3 is the end of the Treasure series, so it makes sense to end on a positive note, that ATEEZ will continue their journey without hesitation, and assure us that we will take care of each other through good and bad times. 

me after revising this^

So, to summarize how all the MVs connect (TL:DR)

HALA HALA: the unconscious, ATEEZ’s nightmare, the result of them being obsessed with their goals to the point where they resort to violence and chaos, they don’t succeed as a team

Say My Name: wanting to be woken up from their nightmare, confronting their “enemy” , only to realize that its their own unconscious, continuing conflict with HALA HALA 

Treasure: A flashback to what ATEEZ was like before they became violent and nightmare-ish, when they worked together with ATINY and had ambitions and goals

Pirate King: continuing the flashback, more adventure and getting shit done

Utopia / Illusion: continuing from Say My Name, becoming entranced while waking up with the ultimate dream so much that they become disillusioned, in a trance where they party and think they’ve achieved their goals but they’re actually still “asleep”

Wave: snapping out of their illusion to confront their difficulties head on, reassuring ATINY that they will support each other and keep chasing their ambitions

Predictions moving forward??

SO if we need to continue this story into the next comeback, now they will be on a new journey!! Theres a ton of theories being thrown around for that but tbh my few braincells are exhausted from thinking about this- 

I think the HALA HALA nightmare will be a consistent motif throughout their future comebacks, like they’ll always be battling them, but maybe they’ll figure out how to finally get rid of them.

From the ONE comeback teaser pic thats been released so far I have no idea what the theme for this next adventure could be, maybe they’ll still be in the desert like they were in treasure ep 1 before they fell asleep

Whatever it is I think KQ did a really good job figuring out this theme for ATEEZ because it gives them a lot of flexibility with concepts and future plots for MVs.

#ateez #honestly the more i think about it the more theories i come up with that contradict the ones i just thought of so #ateez eXPLAIN pls help ya fandom out

[angelicistics]

gonna sound a bit weird but can you show us some of your earlier covers bc you’re ones rn are STUNNING and I kinda wanted to see the process from your first covers to now if ygm? :))

heyy!! 

first of all, thank you <33 and i really like this ask tbh 

i think it’s pretty cool, even for me, to see how i’ve improved since i started making covers for wattpad, yk? so, this is pretty cool 

i’ll put the covers under the cut (and i might not have ALL of them, but I’ll put as many as I can 

this is the first cover that i made for wattpad, for my sirius black fic that i had a while ago and it’s pretty simple... like, SIMPLE, but this is fine, I guess djksdj

those are the other versions of the cover, and by that time, i had been trying to have a “theme” for my covers, so my other stories had covers similar to those

(honestly, i hate those covers so fucking much kdjskds)

those are some of the covers i’ve made for my old cedric diggory fic (that won’t be coming back unfortunately bc i hated it kdsjds sorry) and i actually kinda like them? - the order of when i made them came out wrong, but the purple and pink one was the last one for it 

those are some of the covers i made for moonstruck (which WILL be coming back, i just need to figure out a new face claim) and i kinda like them, kinda not??? idk, but the last one is definitely my favorite

and those covers were made for my former sirius black fic inspired by mamma mia here i go again skdjs and that’s not coming back either, but i kinda like those covers?? 

and those are the covers for hard feelings (once known as superposition dksjds - the order of the covers is wrong again but oh well) and i like all of them, i think?? but this new one is my love ksdjs

i’ve only made one for teen spirit and i’ll never change it kjdskdsj i’m just SO proud of this cover, i can’t think of something else to fit teen spirit like this one does

than this one for strange energy (that has been changed to tragic now kjds) and i really like the effect?? but it just doesn’t fit my style anymore, i think

and this one for tragic (couldn’t find the full version??), and it’s simpler than the others, but i really like it

and those are the ones for silver lining (in the wrong order again, but the first one is the last cover i made for it)

and those are some ‘extra’ covers for different stuff kds

update because I found the full version of tragic, but i’m too tired to go change that one ksjdsk 

hope this was what you wanted <33 also, hope this helped anyone who thinks they’ll never be able to make covers, because my first ones were SUPER shitty, so... dksjdsj yeah <3
