seonghwa’s angel baby cover literally means the world to me
i've had this blog for ages and everything i like/have ever liked is here; it's a multifandom mess (mostly kpop, but over-all multifandom). i just keep adding and adding to it because i don't do sideblogs (except for my aes one @babyxcv)
ults: got7 (jackson) & ateez (seonghwa)
other groups/soloists i stan: zb1, kard, stray kids, exo, shinee, onlyoneof, the rose, twice, blackpink, woodz, sunmi, chungha, etc.
i'm a content creator; i make gifs, photo edits, the occasional gfx, and sometimes art (you can find a more detailed navigation under the cut!)
i've started tracking #userkathia; feel free to tag me in your creations! ♡
please do not repost any of my work.
everything: here

art / gifs / graphics / moodboards ( kpop/aes ) / photo edits / text posts / tutorials / themes
qaz's onlyoneof song bracket masterpost!! (#onlyonebracket)
finally, a way to determine lyonblr's favorite song!
each poll will be active for 24 hours, follow #onlyonebracket to catch each new one as it goes up and keep track of updates via my reblogs and edits on this post (which will be pinned on my blog for the duration of the event)!
songs that have choreography and/or music videos but are not technically title tracks or did not get full promo, go!! calling this the miscellaneous matchup!! (8 songs, 3 rounds)
round 1 results / round 2 results
WINNER: designer
once we have a winning tune from each of the above....
SURPRISE!! (1 poll) (chance for a loser to get back in the running... or maybe even a song you haven't seen before)
WINNER: bOss
finalists post
final fight!! (4 songs, 2 rounds. if the winner has multiple versions, one more poll to determine the best version)
round 1: poll 1 / poll 2
round 2
WINNER: dOra maar!!
and remember, this is just for fun! <3
(more details under cut)
i won't be including any solos, re-recorded different language versions, remixes, or songs not given a full streaming release (sorry runner's high) in the initial brackets, just for simplicity's sake. as it stands there are going to be nearly 40 individual polls. so, assume that a vote for a song with multiple versions is a vote for your favorite version of it.
if the ultimate winner has multiple versions, one final poll will be held to determine the best version.
in addition to linking youtube videos for each song on their respective polls, i will be linking spotify playlists for each bracket round on their directories. (for instance if you click the link on "b-side battle" above, you should see a link to a spotify playlist after the directory list of polls.) i came up with this idea 3 rounds in lol but i'll be linking the playlists on all polls from here on out. they will be deleted when their respective polls close, so save them to your account if you want to keep em!
it's going to be 3 different brackets happening at once and then the winners of THOSE will compete with each other so that it won't just be title tracks against title tracks when we get to the final round.
i'll be updating this post via reblogs as we go, and editing links into this original post so that if you check it on my blog it'll have all relevant links.
here we go, you know the drill, reblog for sample size for more fun, but i won't be telling you to on the polls themselves. campaign for your favs! be silly in the notes! do whatever! <3
Decided to go through some of the older videos that I had linked in the index but not downloaded into the archive yet and ugh, these videos were definitely up six months ago but are now gone/private.

hihihi theo i hope ur doing well <3 how are you!!! how has your week been!!!! what has been happening!!! happy friday!!! mwah <3333 also mini question hehe do u have any ooo recs >< watched a few clips of them on twt and they're so funny SKDGHSJDGHJ lov u so much
hiii shri beloved🫶🫶 my week’s been good! my parents have been out of town so i’ve just been watching the house and taking care of my dogs :3 happy friday ! hope ur week’s been good too🫶
i definitely doooo you have no idea how excited that made me
when i first got into them i started by watching the mv behinds for all the solos and that made it a lot easier for me to learn names/faces and personalities cause it’s mostly duos!
after that i highly recommend mystery vacance and onlyoneof camp for longer video series’!! (onlyoneof camp is ot7 and mystery vacance is ot6)
also any videos from tour/their japanese concerts any mv behinds and of course fan comp edits
a couple of my favorite one offs are them making chuseok foods, one junji and rie did making pottery, making valentines candy, kyujung doing flower arrangements, & a vlog love did where he tried cotton candy cucumbers😭 also junji’s mini vlogs/skits are so funny
they also have short under ten minutes videos from promotions that are fun !
thank u for sharing your rant about kpop reactions videos! so i'm not the only one that finds difficult to encounter sincere and constructive reviews lately :(
With trying new yt channels, it started to literally bother me how most seem to have only complete excitement and compliments for any cb they review, no constructive opinions. The thing I love the most is when a reactor is informed (at least about the basics) and has some level of enrichment to bring to the table: filming, editing, music structure, lore (very rare) etc.
And let's not talk about the scary quantity of ppl who don't add literally anything to the rection and most of the time don't really have a clue of what they are doing 🤡 it's only for the views, right?
I do mostly follow 4gen groups now, apart from mx and a couple more, so I guess it's easier for me to find a few more enjoyable reactions since channels now seem to mostly do them about those groups... I did find some new channels that have what I'm looking for, but they do focus on recent music, since they are newer to the kpop scene. Still, the reactors I enjoy can be counted with a single hand lol. And form of therapy is (used to be?) one of those because of how articulated their reactions are.
Yeah exactly… like the majority of the new reactors (especially men) just sit there with their headphones bopping their head (sometimes off beat🤣) and say ‘cool’ and ‘dope’ sometimes….
Among the reactors I actually liked is caitlin benson who is also the person i talked abt in the rant who said they’re not enjoying reacting anymore. Like she’s real enough to admit that. And u could tell she really actually got into monsta x bc she ended up going to their US shows. iirc it was their first kpop concert. (Like the chose monsta x (and maybe ateez iirc) to see live amongst all the groups theyve been reacting to) and did a lot of deep dive into them.)
I guess it would make sense if ppl reacted to a limited number of groups instead of EVERY comeback from EVERY group. And BE REAL abt it! Like if i were a reactor id only react to monsta x, exo, pentagon and maybe sf9 and onlyoneof. And i would have criticism for them and I certainly wouldn’t like all of their releases anyway bc some stuff just arent my taste regardless of being by my bias groups!
