And finally, after procrastinating A LOT, I present to you my Yunmeng Shuangjie fanmix!
I do truly hope you enjoy! And as in ye olden days, I will include under cut the lyrics that reminded me of them! But in the meantime you can listen to the playlist here:
TRACKLIST:
1 - Regina Spektor - Call them brothers
That's it, it's split - it won't recover Just frame the halves and call them brothers Find your fathers and your mothers If you remember who they are
2 - Kodaline - Brother
If I was dying on my knees You would be the one to rescue me And if you were drowned at sea I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe
3 - Imagine Dragons - I bet my life
Now remember when I told you That's the last you'll see of me? Remember when I broke you down to tears? (Woo-oooo-ooh, I bet, I bet my life) I know I took the path That you would never want for me I gave you hell through all the years
4 - Alkaline Trio - I found a way
I found away over the fear and through the flames I'm diving in, don't follow me Stay right here, I'll be back for you someday I found away, it'd be best if you just stayed It's not safe, don't follow me I found away, I found away
5 - Spineshank - Beginning of the end
The irritation we're pretending not to show Has replaced the motivation that I had not long ago […] Interrogation has replaced the trust we had Your misguided accusations helping me to turn my back
6 - P!nk - So what
What if this song's on the radio? Then somebody's gonna die I'm gonna get in trouble My ex'll start a fight Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, he's gonna start a fight (Huh) Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, we're all gonna get in a fight
7 - Of monsters and men - Hunger
And for the longest time I knew, there was nothing left for us to do But I tried, oh, I try And in this quiet company, there is nothing staring back at me I'm in need of a sound
8 - Linea 77 - The sharp sound of blades
The sharp sound of blades The deep wounds of hate My fingers tap on the wall The silent mess of your thoughts How long can it take ? How long before we break The fragile truce that will bring This bleeding love to the dawn?
9 - Tiromancino - Due destini
Perché siamo due destini che si uniscono Stretti in un istante solo Che segnano un percorso profondissimo dentro di loro Superando quegli ostacoli Se la vita ci confonde Solo per cercare di essere migliori Per guardare ancora fuori Per non sentirci soli Translation: Because we are two destinies that unite together Closed in a single moment That marks a path deep within them Overcoming these obstacles Whether life confuses us Just to try to be better To still look outside To not feel alone
10 - Subsonica - Nuvole Rapide
Su tutto ciò che ora parla di noi: Rabbia, illusioni e speranze che so Detonazioni di un attimo che Passerà E rimarrà forse il vuoto di noi A disarmare I rimpianti che so Per ricordarci in un attimo che Passerà Translation: On everything that now talks about us Anger, illusions and hopes I am aware of Detonations of a moment that It will pass And perhaps the void of us will remain To disarm the regrets I am aware of To remember us in a moment that It will pass
11 - Gotye ft. Kimbra - Somebody that I used to know
But you didn't have to cut me off; Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough
12 - Tiromancino - Amore impossibile
È amore impossibile quello che mi chiedi Sentire ciò che tu sola senti e vedere ciò che vedi Chiudere la realtà dentro la tua isola Ma non perdere la voglia di volare Perché l'amore è amore impossibile Quando non riesce a inseguire, è irraggiungibile Senso di libertà, oltre le stelle e il cielo Che è nascosto sul fondo dell'anima Translation: it's an impossible love what you're asking for, to hear what you alone can hear, and see what only you see Shutting reality in your island and yet not losing the will to fly because this love is an impossible love when it can't chase it is unreachable A sense of freedom, beyond the stars and the sky, that is hidden at the bottom of the soul
13 - AFI - Bleed black
(If you listen) Listen, listen (Listen close) Beat by beat (You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces (When it broke) And ground them all to dust I know what died that night, it can never be brought back to life Once again, I know
14 - Noir Désir - Le vent nous portera
Ce parfum de nos années mortes Ceux qui peuvent frapper à ta porte Infinité de destins On en pose un, qu'est-ce qu'on en retient? Le vent l'emportera Translation: This scent of our dead years Those that can knock on your door Infinity of destinies We put one down, what do we hold on to? The wind will carry it away
15 - Green Day - 21 guns
Do you know what's worth fightin' for When it's not worth dyin' for? Does it take your breath away And you feel yourself suffocatin'? Does the pain weigh out the pride And you look for a place to hide? Did someone break your heart inside? You're in ruins

twenty questions for fic writers
A little writing meme I got from @/alightbuthappypen. I always like looking back on my writing and some of these questions sent me on a fun trip down memory lane.
How many works do you have on AO3?
26. I have a lot more saved or posted to LJ but when I created my ao3 account, I was trying to pick the "best of the best" to share.
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
379,781. My tendency to write long fic has only grown over the years.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Oh boy, in roughly this order I’ve written for: X/1999, Weiss Kreuz, Assassin’s Creed (Ezio’s games), Overwatch, X-Men: First Class, Prometheus (sort of), Captain America, and Mo Dao Zu Shi/The Untamed.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Found: Extremely Friendly Fox (魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù)
lost whenever you go (魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù)
A bridge in the dark (陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) )
The Agreement (Assassin's Creed 2)
dying of thirst (魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù)
Until my first MDZS event, The Agreement was managing to hang in at top 3, despite the writing being 10 years old. People like smut, I guess.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do try to but I’m often behind, especially when it comes to event fics where comments might come in faster than I can get to them. As a reader, I never expect a response so I hope people don’t feel bad when they don’t get one, but as a writer I really want to show my appreciation for someone taking the time to leave a comment. Also, sometimes readers leave their thoughts and I want to talk more about them! 
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
The angstiest fic I can think of isn’t on ao3. It was part of a set of fics I wrote for an AC BigBang long ago that were based on a fanmix. Sad song = sad ending. 
I don’t generally write angst but if I had to pick from what's on ao3, it’d be my Weiss Kreuz fic since that’s pretty fraught until the end. 
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Um, all of them. 😆 Almost everything I write has a happy ending and usually some pretty sappy moments. Found: Extremely Friendly Fox is probably the lightest, happiest thing I've written.
(Or maybe Soothing Waters because that is literally just an excuse to write a soft moment between Ezio and Leonardo.)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I don’t think I have. I’ve had someone leave a comment disagreeing with what I wrote in a scene but they weren’t overly rude about it. 
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes. A lot. Half of my ao3 fics are explicit. 😂 ‘What kind’ is an interesting question. I guess I've written many kinds, from vanilla to BDSM and even a couple of darker fics that I don't have on ao3.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
Yes, I really like taking characters from one universe and dropping them into another. I don't usually combine the casts from both 'verses (although the Tron fic is an exemption). It's more that I think the characters from one 'verse would be interesting to write in a different setting. The craziest one is a X-Men: First class/Prometheus crossover that is probably nothing like you'll picture.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I hope not, but I had had my fic added to Goodreads, which I don't love.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I've had someone ask but they were posting on Wordpress so I don’t follow up to see if they posted it. 
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes, but not posted anywhere. I co-wrote a Devil May Cry 3 fic with a friend, and then another friend wrote a fic set in one my fics universes, if that counts. We collaborated on characterization details.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
This is an impossible question. 😆 I am as in love with Schuldich/Yohji, a pairing I first wrote about 13 years ago, as I am with Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, which I've most recently written for. And Ezio/Leonardo will forever be in my heart. I guess I love some more than others but I can't pick an all-time fav.
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
From recent wips: I have a Jin Ling POV fic that’s the fourth in my vampire AU series that I really want to finish but every time I go back to it, I’m convinced it sucks and no one wants to read the POV of a kid (even if I think JL’s POV is the most interesting for this scenario). I’ll probably never finish it unless I can get over that block.
An even better answer because it's sat around longer: a X-Men: First Class/Mercy Thompson universe crossover. It's XMFC with werewolves, but werewolves as they are in the Mercy Thompson books. Charles is an omega but it's nothing like omegaverse. I'm still really proud of how I blended those universes but omegaverse is so wildly popular, and this is nothing like that, so I figured it had no audience. I was so close to finishing it too. 🥲
16. What are your writing strengths?
I'm bad at seeing my own strengths so I'll have to go with the kind of comments I receive and those are usually that: the sex was hot, the emotional beats landed well, or that I had a wild/unusual idea and I made it work.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
This is easier to answer. I struggle with writing sex scenes, even if they're usually received well. And I struggle to write the "connective tissue" between the scenes I picture most clearly. Sometimes this is the whole middle of a fic and sometimes it's just small scenes that are needed to tie together two things I've already written.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I usually avoid writing complete sentences in languages I don’t know but I am guilty of sprinkling of lot of (probably unnecessary and incorrect) Italian into my AC fics. 
19. First fandom you wrote for?
For unposted fic: self-insert Star Wars (original trilogy/novels universe). For something that was posted publicly (before the days of ao3): either X/1999 or Weiss Kreuz. I don't know which came first.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
Another impossible question! I have favorites for different reasons. It’s No Good was my first longfic and a favorite because I love that pairing and there’s so little of it that’s not dark.
From my recent work, probably Searching for answers. It’s a niche kind of crossover but I’m really proud of it and want to believe the emotions came through as meaningfully as I tried to write them.
And you know what? Special shout-out to Feelin' Nauti because I re-read that while going through all my ao3 fics and I'm just really proud of the emotion I managed to capture in a 7k fic. (I need to figure out how to do that again.) Plus, I think it has a lot of good lines in it.

Scrapbook 2023 | Pt IV
NGL, a little heated that Tumblr's new editing bullshit has made it so I can't save more than a month at a time, so I guess I'll have monthly ones from now on.
For anyone that’s new to this, this is how I keep track of all of the things that I enjoy and/or create throughout the year. I have literally been doing this since I had a livejournal.
It’s a nice little snippet of my life and helps to organize my brain.
A reminder:
Normal font - Indifferent/Neutral Italicized font - Enjoyed bold font - Loved with an asterisk* - All time favorite (bracketed titles) - Re-watches/Re-reads strikethough - Disliked
Goals are: read 65 books, finish 4 video games, write more than 20 fics or something larger than 20k, and expand on your original novel outline to the point that you START WRITING.

The Untamed women: kpop mix
For the Spotify playlist go here!
Like it says on the tin, this is a mix for the women of the Untamed with songs either by girl groups or female soloists. This mix also runs the gamut in terms of genre and vibe, but I did put a lot of thought into all the song selections! With a few exceptions I got all the lyrics from Color Coded Lyrics which is an incredible resource. It puts Hangul, romanization, and English side-by-side, as well as color coding every artist if it’s a song with multiple singers. It’s a life saver. 
Also the songs are listed in the order of uhhh character death just because making this list made me realize a lot of them do that, huh? At least we can send them out with some bangers!
 Lan Yi; Deja Vu - Dreamcatcher
Tumblr media
Your two eyes, their glow is lost, Please erase all my memories Far away through the dense fog The far path I departed on only left hurtful marks Even as I try to grasp the ends of the dream Eventually, longer and longer I fall asleep in a deep silence
You kind of have to give a song from the pop-rock-metal girl group to the sect leader who invented how to kill people with music, eh?
Although ironically this song doesn’t go as hard as some of Dreamcatcher’s other releases. Don’t get me wrong, it builds and builds to a final section that makes me kind of want to have a fight a death with my long-lost love in the rain. Most of the time though it’s surprisingly regal and restrained. There are many times when it drops into gentle near silence (albeit not in an anti-drop sort of way.) It feels like it’s stimulating a building anger at someone else that drops back into the loneliness of regret and longing.
The lyrics only add to this impression. So does the music video that depicts a damn near epic short story of love and loss. Prequel series about Lan Yi and Baoshan Sanren’s star-crossed love when?
B-Side: Poison – PinkFantasy. But maybe you want a pop-rock-metal song that does go hard throughout. In which case here you go! Selected this one for the lyrics about danger and confusion. It’s for that time period before Lan Yi went into seclusion out of remorse.
Cangse Sanren; Gotta Go - Chungha
Tumblr media
Yeah I like it, how you talk informally to me Like it, your quiet way of talking It’s not bad Boy you know, know, know, know Like the way you wordlessly held my hand Like the way, even though I was surprised I didn’t hate it You know boy (boy, boy, boy)
The sky that was so blue As if it was painted on already turned dark Emotions running deeper, yeah I gotta tell you this This strange feeling that only we’re feeling I like it so much but it’s too late
I’ll be honest, I first considered this one in a jokey “haha, wouldn’t it be funny if I made this Cangse Sanren’s main song because there’s a flute melody constantly looping throughout and her son famously has a flute as a spiritual weapon?” But then this hypothetical selection became less of a joke the more I considered it.
The lyrics themselves paint the picture of a relationship that never quite got off the ground in a “ships that pass in the night” sort of way. Cangse Sanren and Wei Changze did end up together, however depictions of them are always steeped in wistfulness due their premature deaths.
All that being said, this is a powerful song that leaves an impression despite the melancholy at its heart both in its sound and lyrics. There’s a bit of playfulness, too, and certainly a sense of resilience. The narrator is in charge of this song the same way Cangse Sanren tried to take charge of her life.
B-Side: Stereotype – StayC. Cangse Sanren is one of those posthumous characters that casts a shadow over canon. Some people adored her, some people hated her. When canon kicks off, a lot of people have her caricaturized in their minds. But before all that she was a person too. And to quote this song: 자꾸만 널 유혹하듯/보이겠지만 미안하지만/색안경을 끼고 보지 마요 (It may seem like I’m tempting you/And I’m sorry but/Don’t create a stereotype about me)
Meng Shi; Midnight Driver - Fromm
Tumblr media
Don’t worry, mama, I’m a night driver Try to see things from my point of view You trust the moment, right? With headlights on, headlights on We’ll have everything in view Headlights on, headlights on Even if the end is darkness
I’ll admit that I picked this one for the vibes rather than the lyrics exactly, although the lyrics are poignant too. Spotify radio for Sunmi introduced me to this song and I’m so happy it did.
My initial instinct was to choose a song that would exemplify her waiting on Jin Guangshan (and you can see the B-side for that one!) However, I sat with it for a bit and I realized the paradoxical sadness and optimism of this song reminds me of Meng Shi a lot. Just … this woman tried so hard. She tried so hard for her son. She got him books to learn from, she tried to get his powerful father to acknowledge him. She was outstanding at her art in order to get more money for their lives together. And she’s one of the few parents we know of in this canon that genuinely treated their child with love. Despite the stresses of her life she envisioned a better life for him and did her very best to get it.
So that’s what I want to highlight here. A peaceful, dreamy song that feels like it could be playing as she spend money from an especially profitable week to buy snacks for her son as he studies. Life is difficult but she’s doing her best and things don’t feel so bad today.
B-Side: After We Ride – Brave Girls. Of course, she did still have to expend a considerable amount of effort trying to get her piece of shit former patron to write back, and this song is perfect for that. This is absolutely one of my favorite songs of the year and it’s a work of art and it makes me so sad.
 Yu Ziyuan; Twit - Hwasa
Tumblr media
I’m a fool I’m the bitch for making you sick The whispers of the devil My greed pushes you away Even if I’m late, don’t wait for me
I could have picked one of the more stereotypical girlboss songs for Yu Ziyuan and I came really close. Then shuffle reminded me of this - one of my favorite songs of 2019 – and then I couldn’t pick anything else despite it not having the hallmarks of an in-your-face girlboss song.
This explanation video really gets into how much is going on in this song. In Twit the narrator eviscerates her partner for his emotional masochism and how he always makes her the bad guy. Unlike Yu Ziyuan, the narrator has a partner who is wholly obsessed with her. However, like Jiang Fengmian, the partner described in this song sounds uniquely weak-willed. He constantly gets compared to Sim Cheong, a Korean folk tale character who is unique in his selflessness. Sometimes he’s lauded for this, sometimes he’s seen as a cautionary tale. This song lands hard on the latter given the repetition of “I don’t like it/Nobody likes it.”
In Twit, the narrator knows she’s mean, often even cruel. However, her partner acts like a martyr, which just exacerbates her bitterness and self-loathing even more. The lyrics immediately after the quoted section on the image had too much English to fit the spirit of what I’m doing here… but they’re so important I’ll quote them down here:
I make you patient I make you puppy I make you hungry 주는 게 없지 근데 왜 나도 불행해질까 (I don’t give anything but why am I unhappy too?) 나를 위해서만 숨을 쉬지 마 (Don’t just breathe for me) 너무 외로워 보여 (You look so lonely)
In other words, he’s getting off on getting to play the hero to her villain.
It’s just a perfect song for the mutually miserable Jiang parent marriage. I also love the little sparks of flute notes that repeat throughout. That was unintentional but given that I picked a flute heavy song for the Cangse Sanren selection it fits here, too. Her ghost is hovering here, too.
B-Side: I Like That – Sistar. Some of the b-sides were selected to get into different aspects of the same character. This… is not that. This is more of the same in terms of theme. However it’s so fun I couldn’t not pick it. Also it made me giggle to follow up the song that asserts “I don’t like it” with a song called I Like That. Tacit admission that the Jiang parents decided they did kind of like each other seconds before death.
 Wang Lingjiao; Dumb Dumb - Somi
Tumblr media
Practicing in front of the mirror again Opening my eyes wide You like it when I make this face How can I look more vulnerable and innocent? Don’t want to look like I tried too hard
It’s been so fun watching Somi develop her musical identity over the years. She’s been leaning more and more into this snarky, meta vibe and I’ve been super into it.
And this song is hilariously acidic. The narrator explicitly outlines her plans to play dumb (dumb, dumb) in order to attract her crush. The music video really leans into this by having her sing that she doesn’t have much of an appetite, while she and her friends eat pizza and donuts. She sings about how she couldn’t kill a fly while we see her absolutely decimating a science experiment in school and getting blood all over her face. In the end she sings about how her plan totally worked. She got the guy and it wasn’t even difficult.
I feel like despite Wen Chao’s… everything, he probably had women throwing themselves at him so that they could end up as the mistress of someone so wealthy. And I like to imagine Wang Lingjiao enacted a similar plan as the one in this song to attract him. We definitely see her playing up a role at him until things really go off the rails. There were probably many moments when she was mentally like “난 네 머리 꼭대기에서 춤춰 you dumb dumb.” Aka “I’m dancing on top of your head you dumb dumb.”
B-Side: Hands Up – Cherry Bullet. This is a fairly standard “you have a thing for me, wanna do something about it?” song. What’s not standard is that it fucking samples Für Elise throughout, which makes it one of most pleasantly puzzling songs I’ve ever listened to. It also sounds exactly like the kind of song that would play during a fight with a mini-boss. It’s fantastic. One of the best songs of 2020.
Wen Qing; Hwaa – (G)I-DLE
Tumblr media
I shall never let your trace leave a mark Shall burn the resentment left undone And shall take away the lonesome cold Step over the withered flower path Once I untangle han, I shall feel the spring once again All memories turn into ashes Then shall bloom a beautiful bright flower
I shall make a fire, a bigger fire To win back the spring that I’ve lost
On one hand this song sounds sprawling and epic. It sounds like it should play while a bronze age civilization collapses. On the other hand, it feels shockingly intimate. The soundscapes absolutely evoke a desolate, cold location. The lyrics also use the word ‘han’ which is one of those words that’s difficult to convey in another language in a 1:1 way.
The narrator is clearly going through it. She sounds like she’s lost everything. She also sounds like she’s lost a specific person. Despite all that, she sounds flinty and determined. No matter what happens, she won’t let life just bury her. She’s determined to see winter give way to spring. She sings about ashes nurturing the growth of flowers, and trying to make spring happen through sheer force of will.
This fits Wen Qing so well because even though she dies young and leaves the narrative halfway through she leaves such a mark. What’s interesting is she doesn’t just exist as a complication to other people’s relationships. She also did things that people continue to benefit from as well. She did the golden core transfer (which obviously has a complicated legacy but it did mean the Jiang clan could have its revival), she kept Lan Sizhui alive well before Lan Wangji found him. And of course Wen Ning continues to hold her dear (and he still exists because of her, too.)
The outro of the song also fits Wen Qing too. It’s one of my very favorites but it’s also like ten milliseconds long. I wish it had lasted longer, and I wish Wen Qing had lived, damn it.
B-Side: Remember Me – Oh My Girl. More of the same here, except softer and intended (by me) to be about Wen Qing/Jiang Cheng. Because Wen Qing did have a soft side. We rarely see her indulge it but it’s definitely there. And because that not-quite-relationship really is heartbreaking. “조금 이른 사랑얘긴/저 별들처럼 나를 비추고” Aka “The love story that’s a bit too early to be told/ Shine on me like the stars.” I mean, jeez. :,( There are also repeated mentions of fireworks which makes me think of Jiang Cheng making heart eyes at her during the lantern ceremony.
Jiang Yanli; Likey - Twice
Tumblr media
But it’s so typical to say I like you It’s not enough to express my heart But I like you, I can’t even sleep I don’t care if I run late
I’m just looking at you But I couldn’t say anything Come a little closer, please know my heart I don’t wanna hide it anymore
 YES, I am in fact using the “fishing for attention on social media cutesy Twice song” for Jiang Yanli. Why? Okay. Hear me out here. This is one of the cleverest, saddest k-pop songs I’ve ever encountered. If you just hear it then it’s a giddy sugar rush of pop music perfection. There’s a reason I often start out with this song when I’m doing cardio. There’s so much more going on here than its joyous sound, though. The full lyrics go into detail about how hard the narrator tries to look perfect on social media to impress her crush (and, probably, everyone else too.) The music video shows the girls dancing in surprisingly mundane looking locations … until a filter goes on and suddenly the garbage bin is gone and the plain walls pop with pinks and yellows. It all slips into a bridge that’s unquestionably wistful and sad, before it slides right back into the relentlessly cheerful vibes. This song is making a statement about how exhausting it is to perform to society’s standards.
Jiang Yanli wasn’t exactly looking for social media validation, but every time I revisit episodes with her I’m always struck by how much effort she has to be putting in to match what the people around her need from her. She’s not stoic like Wen Qing but she keeps her own needs close to the chest. She wants love – both familial and romantic – and like the narrator of Likey she’s almost always putting herself last.
Sidenote: This song also has some of my favorite choreography. I love how the beginning of the song stimulates pictures on instagram getting likes. (Posting the part switch version because this performance is so charming.)
B-Side: Mago - Gfriend. However, in despite of all the above … There was a chance there, near the end, where like was turning around for Jiang Yanli. Yes, she had married into the horror show that was the Jin clan at the time, but she had a supportive husband and a kid she adored. She wasn’t living under the threat of war anymore. Things were starting to thaw with Wei Wuxian a little a bit. We all know how that ended but … I want to end on this song that has the narrator singing about how much she’s feeling herself. I like the idea of using one of Gfriend’s mature songs here because they also had many, many lovely wistful and cute songs as well but they went out on this absolute banger anthem of self-love. This song also has a very expensive, decadent feeling to it which fits the vibe of the clan Yanli married into.
Madame Jin; L.I.E. - EXID
Tumblr media
I pray that you keep this up until you die And go to hell, go to hell (Go away) Oh baby you You should have never been born What do I do, what do I do? I’m losing my mind because I can’t stand seeing you
Baby I know I know I know your lies I don’t like to see you breathing either
Another one of the absolutely miserable marriages in canon. Unlike those marriages though, there are no glimmers of love or even appreciation to be found here. Instead, things are straightforward. Madame Jin hates Jin Guangshan and is stuck with him.
The song is straightforward with its hatred too. So straightforward that there was some discourse back in the day about whether it was misandrist. All I know is that it has an air horn going off every few seconds and it shouldn’t work but it somehow elevates this vicious bop into even more of a bop for me. I know that EXID also often got some flack for having the same strong structures every time, but they really had a winning formula going and there’s a reason they’re one of my favorites. I loved how their songs would start out with Hani’s honeyed tones and Junghwa’s airy vocals. Then they would just slam into Hyerin and Solji’s powerful choruses. And then we’d get LE just absolutely going FINISH HIM with her raps. This structure is fun in their trademark sexy songs, but somehow it’s particular winning in a resentful breakup song.
B-Side: Hate – 4Minute. But if L.I.E. isn’t angry enough, this oughtta do it. Unlike every other song on here I don’t have unreserved love for this song. Every time I listen to it, the first verse has me going “wow this song is great I need to listen to it more.” Then it builds and builds before cannonballing into one of the most unhinged choruses I’ve ever heard. This song is so stressful it’s impressive. And well … I sympathize with Madame Jin, but she definitely takes her anger out on the people around her. So yeah.
 A-Qing; Wannabe - ITZY
Tumblr media
The nagging, stop it I got this Whatever I be it’s up to me so please I do what I wanna Can you just leave me alone whether I live a normal life or not? It’s me who lives this ‘cause it’s my life
I could almost throw a dart at a dartboard with ITZY’s other songs and hit a song with the vibe I wanted. Particularly Dalla Dalla (although going “bad, bad, sorry I’m bad, I’m just the way I am” while twerking is more fitting for Xue Yang.)
The narrator of this song is just so confident and unapologetic about it all. And so is A-Qing. She finds a way to survive and has no qualms about it. She doesn’t hide her distrust for Xue Yang either. Even when he literally silences her, she finds a way to make herself heard. Her sheer stubbornness when it comes to being heard means that Wei Wuxian et al get the keys they need to unlock a lot the mysteries underpinning the series. A-Qing absolutely maximizes her impact, even in death.
B-Side: Cool – Weki Meki. This song has a similar vibe. I picked this over others in this type of genre because I love how there’s something particularly sharp about how girls of Weki Meki pronounce the words of the song. They seem to go bouncing over the heavy beat like they’re actively resisting the force of gravity. It Is Neat.
 Qin Su; Heroine - Sunmi
Tumblr media
In a movie only for us The real hero was you, baby As always the way you act Like a splendid hero 
Do whatever you want Even if you’re mean And you make me sad You need to be yourself Even if I’m not feeling well And it’s sad ending
Okay, this is the song that made me wake up from a nap in a cold sweat realizing I had to make this fanmix.
This is absolutely one of those songs where you have to pay attention to lyrics, sound, and choreography to feel the full impact of what’s being conveyed here. Written out like this, the translated lyrics could potentially flatten out the meaning. It almost sounds like the narrator is preternaturally forgiving and understanding of her self-absorbed partner. I really don’t think that’s what Sunmi was trying to convey here. Quite frankly the emotions of this song hit me like a freight train every single time I listen to it and those definitely aren’t happy emotions that I’m feeling. The first verse has her sounding half asleep and confused. Maybe even feeling a little bit tortured. The choreography here has Sunmi sitting in a chair and twitching almost like she’s being shocked. The music video brings in a male backup dancer to duet with her at this point but they don’t really connect with each other. They seem like they’re in separate orbits entirely. The next time she duets with a male backup dancer she’s miming pushing him over and he still doesn’t react. And of course there’s those choruses that are just a gut punch after the almost dreamlike beginning.
This and many other little details have led me to this very scientific analysis of this song: When she’s saying you’re the real hero and you have to do what you want …. It’s sardonic and bitter. This is the song of someone realizing she’s been in a relationship with someone who sees the people around him as NPCs and pawns in his own life story. He sees himself as a tragic hero, and she gets to be the heroine. But she doesn’t really have a life of her own.
And, well, Jin Guangyao did seem to love Qin Su but it was so often for the things she did for him. The way she really was a rare beacon of kindness in her world. But despite his love for her he didn’t give her the information she needed to have agency over her own life. Because “the show must go on, [he] must go on.”
B-Side: Body Talk – Red Velvet. A haunting song about the end of a relationship. The narrator knows from body language that her partner is just not into her anymore, but he’s not saying it. She’s forced to guess what’s going on in his head.
 Sisi; Ring x Ring - Billlie
Tumblr media
A lot of lonely, faint names The sound of my heart ringing with all my might
This song is so off-putting it loops back around to become compelling. It turns out the Für Elise sample in Hand’s Up isn’t the most surprising choice on here. How about taking the Ring Ring the Bells Christmas song and making it as sinister as possible?
This was also an especially audacious debut song. There’s nothing about a crush or self-love here. No, the girls of Billlie are basically narrating a mystery novel here. The lyrics are all about discovering your friend has gone missing and there’s blood everywhere.
That’s pretty much the situation Sisi found herself in. But instead of one possibly dead acquaintance it’s everyone she headed out with on that awful night. There are a couple lyrics here I could have chosen for the horror of it all, but I decided on this short bit with the narrator fixating on “lonely, faint names.” Sisi is the only one left who can talk about what happened.
B-Side: Jam Jam – IU. Now let’s cool down with this extremely compelling IU song. It has its sinister sounding moments too, but it’s mostly a chill song about taking comfort in artifice. I’m sure Sisi had to do a fair amount of that to get by in life.
 Baoshan Sanren; How You Like That - Blackpink
Tumblr media
I crumbled before your eyes Hit rock bottom and sunk deeper To grab onto the last bit of hope I’ve tried to reach out with both of my hands
Again in this dark place, light up the sky While looking into your eyes, I’ll kiss you goodbye Laugh all you want while you still can Because it’s about to be your turn 1, 2, 3
LMAO. Okay I didn’t expect to have a Blackpink song for her. But … this fits the Lan Yi breakup shockingly well, doesn’t it? Especially this section. I feel like How You Like That is best known for the chorus and how it gets under your skin in a love it or hate it kind of way. The song itself starts out with those regal chords before shifting into the surprisingly ethereal Jennie and Jisoo section. In that part the narrator feels particularly distant and untouchable.
Which is a pretty great vibe for a cultivation master who will call you out for your harmful cultivation techniques and will not answer your emails.
B-Side: Me – CLC. I chose this one because of the similar feel and also because I love the chorus, particularly in this context. Especially these lines: “화려함에 담긴 청순함이/도도함에 담긴 순수함이” AKA; “The innocence in glamour/ The purity in arrogance.” We never meet Baoshan Sanren outside of flashbacks, but we do know she’s particularly uncompromising.
 Mianmian; new - Yves
Tumblr media
Blooming like sweet seduction Another shape of me found inside of me My face in the mirror I ask myself who it is
In the cold breeze of early morning Pulsating heart That moment I looked myself squarely I realized my new face
Out of the living women at the end of canon I’m choosing to end this fanmix with Mianmian because her journey is particularly satisfying. The way she chooses her self-worth over the clan she devoted a shit-ton of time to is just /chef’s kiss.
So it’s fitting I give her one of my favorite self-love k-pop song! There’s just something so entrancing about new. The narrator sings about how after a period of struggle. she’s going to be the love of her own life. It’s not because she’s beautiful or cool (although songs with that theme are great too!) Instead, she sings about how she’s bound to be the only constant in her life. Because that’s just how life works. Therefore, she’s going to love and cherish herself.
Mianmian made a similar calculation, too, and we saw that it worked out well for her!
B-Side: Holo – Lee Hi. Of course, getting to such a self-assured point in your life can be very lonely and it doesn’t always proceed in a straight line. I’m sure there were moments where Mianmian questioned what she had done or even mourned when she learned Jin Zixuan had died. This song takes a moment to pause and reflect on how difficult it can be, but also how those difficult moments will pass. And with these lines the song concludes that it’s still worth it in the end. “가만히 앉아 걱정하기엔/난 너무 소중해요/들여다봐요 맘속의 민낯/그대로 괜찮아요” Aka; “I’m too precious/ To just sit around and worry/ Take a look inside of your heart without a cover/ It’s okay to be yourself.”f

Summary: When Lan Wangji volunteers to take part in a new scientifc trial, a sign of his familys faith in the recent partnership with Jiang Solutions, the last thing he expects is to be paired with his old classmate Wei Wuxian. Lan Wangji can't help but hope he'll finally be able to overcome his own stoney alpha exterior, and form some sort of connection with Wei Wuxian. Only to have the hope shattered when Wei Wuxian tells him they're obviously a placebo group. While the drug is desgined to help form pack bonds without the antiquated mating bite or a blood relation, they're too valued as family members to risk if something goes wrong. Without it, Lan Wangji fears his attempts will be as doomed as when they were younger. With a little encouragement from his brother, Lan Wangji decides to use their weekly hour meeting to try to connect with Wei Wuxian. But the more they meet, the more something seems off. Wei Wuxian seems to be far from the carefree boy Lan Wangji knew, instead almost coming off a skittish. As bruises and realizations grow, these two have a long way to go before they can find a happy ending.

Let me live, let me die
i'm a lover having a hard time, walking a thin line between the life i want and the one i live // walk the plank and show me the path, i'm rooting for the underground // now would you pray before you twist the knife, yeah, would you take my hand and take a life? // i can't hear myself through the loudness of my own hurts // i'm a ghost, but then you'd never know // lover, come over, look what i've done // keep dancing on a pipe dream, keep laughing when i wanna scream // maybe i'm bad natured, or maybe i'm young // i'm tired of this, i fought a war that can't be won
