“I got into a small bathtub with Minhyuk, the water was very cold. And I think in my life there won’t be a reason to get that close to a man again. It was very cold, but since [the result] came out well, there’s only good memories left." — Hyungwon, X-Clan Ep. 6 (trans. @ireahand)

Recently the 4th volume of the english Thousand Autumns came out and when I saw Mimo′s design of beloved old fart Guang Lingsan, all I could say was "awooga humina humina humina", so like

I'm going to say this ONCE and never again

♡ HAPPY JOOHEON DAY ♡ i am wishing jooheon a really, really nice day. i imagine the monstas are back to being quite busy, but i hope that jooheon can take some time for himself and have some good old fashioned fun, whether that’s a night out on the town or a quiet evening spent relaxing.

quick cc note: HELLO... we’re in meg’s monsta bday graphics era :) who better to kick us off than THE incomparable and incorrigible JOOHONEY ONE HUNNIT? i admit to feeling a little bad because i know i so rarely post him on this blog, but i want you all to know that he lives, of course, in my heart along with like. the rest of the monstas.

to me, honey is like. okay so. i feel like kpoppies as a whole have gotten REAL used to throwing around the word “ace” and “all-rounder.” and like... sometimes... not that any idols in question are NOT extremely talented and probably excellent in several categories... but ARE they lee jooheon. jooheon to me is like, really a true ace in that he does it all and THEN some, and he does it all WELL. he outsings he outdances he outcomposes and outwrites and of COURSE he outraps. and on THAT subject! i have often said that they don’t make idol rappers like they used to and i stand by it. honey is a rapper who is also an (excellent) idol. there’s a reason that the monstas are so looked up to and well thought of in the industry, and honey is a huge, huge, part of it. and the thing is! he knows he’s good, right? and when he was younger, that came out in this brashness, a chip on his shoulder. but he’s mellowed a lot and i think now it’s more of a confidence where he doesn’t need to SHOW that he’s good because he knows and we all know he’s good. and as he’s said, he’s gained perspective through his time in the industry. i just think he’s grown up so well and into himself in such a beautiful way <- embarrassing and sappy.

i think the main thing that. really stands out to me about jooheon is the honesty in his music, especially his solo work. he lives and breathes music (every moment can be music!!!) and it shows. he can be so raw and direct that it’s like a punch in the gut. i don’t think i can explain what it’s like seeing him perform smoky live except to say that afterwards, you feel like you’ve been wrung out emotionally. i will always be so grateful to him for sharing that and laying his own struggles out bare in order to share and shoulder the burden.

i’m also grateful to him for the way he is the engine of monsta x, the way he is the heart of so much of their music, and i’m grateful for the way that even though he’s been through some really hard times and has found the courage to not only keep on walking, but to keep us by his side and let us have a look into his most vulnerable moments through his music.

i hope that he knows that! so many of us appreciate him and love him and really wish for his continued success and happiness. i for one can’t wait to see what’s still to come for honey, and like. not to be sappy but i’ll keep on walking with him wherever he happens to find himself headed.

KIHYUN MONMUKGO EP.26

.🥹💗

the problem of being dk is trying to work in education but being a fucking weirdo so you cant fucking . introduce yourself to a bunch of teenagers

i’m sure u received asks about the mma 2022 performances - hoping i’m not adding too much noise ur inbox 🫡

but i feel a bit underwhelmed with these performances? i was sad to see the lineups for all of the upcoming award shows and how there aren’t a lot (or any) 2nd gen/3rd gen performers. granted there aren’t as many 2nd gen active kpop artists that are doing music (most ventured into acting but also hello! i want a key gasoline end of year stage!). and 3rd gen bgs are enlisting + ggs disbanded or not as mainstream.

i’ve seen a lot of praise for le sseafim’s stage but idk it wasn’t anything wow. it felt awkward to me?

i haven't actually, it seems like everyone (including me) forgot about it. i don't know what the full list of performers is so i probably haven't watched all of them, but yea almost no strong performances. what the hell is wrong with the creative directors for these groups, like did y'all forget how stage a good awards show performance in two years? the mmas gave like 11-12 minutes to all these trendy fourth gen groups and NONE of them could keep any semblence of my attention for more than maybe three minutes. the only two groups that actually understood the scale of what they were supposed to be doing were monsta x and ive, bc starship has been sending groups to awards shows for ages. and of that mx's was the only one that was actually interesting and in proper scale for the event, and they did it in less time than everyone else. and also gidle but like. was that a good performance? no, but at least they got the scale right.

tbh the main problem seems to me that all these groups are doing songs/vcrs etc that are just too sedate/slow for that large a stage and they aren't planned well. some groups are kinda sol in that regard (sorry newjeans, your music isnt gonna work on an awards show stage without revamping the production), but literally why were there vcrs in the middle of some of these performances. the one in the ive performance literally just covered up them WALKING TO A DIFFERENT PART OF THE STAGE. why. are you too good to sing a song and hype up the audience while you walk? i dont even want to talk about the txt performance it has some of the worst everything i've seen in a hot minute. the le sserafim stage had extremely poor understanding of how to actually use the stage properly and pathetic styling. like sorry diesel outfits do NOT cut it for an awards show performance. enhypen had legitimately horrible styling like what the actual fuck was that. a lot of these groups are treating these stages as extentions of their 'lore' or whatever and having these ponderous ~mysterious~ vcrs without actually realizing that that is not what these shows are for. these shows need BIG performances bc they are long and they have huge lulls in them thanks to the actual awards presenting. it's one of the only types of performance that it's not necessary to build a dynamic arc into because you do not need one.

for this week, the list is as follows:

suffering with hayfever extraordinaire, giving me an actual fever that had me sleep from 5:30pm until this morning

but i'm almost done with a new carrd with a revised list of characters, so yay for writing !!

this is the first month my latest raise at work is implemented

and that's on being able to call myself the art director (on top of fifty other design related things i do for here, this company isn't too big so far)

planning a new list of spells for my dnd characters because we're rising to level 7 on next week's session

my book about storytelling and pacing finally arrived, it's been amazing
