I have two selections for this week's theme:

The first is "Change" by (G)I-DLE. It's a b-side off their 2022 EP, I Love: https://youtu.be/bjFMG8BT144

The second is "Drive" by I-DLE's visual main vocalist, Miyeon! This was the title track off her 2022 solo debut, MY: https://youtu.be/35lirBqwgTs

#KPopMonday theme: #ThenAndNow

Artist: (G)I-DLE

Debut: https://youtu.be/p4RIhcY7V3c
...when all the girls had was a broke agency & pirated production software LMAO

Bonus: The unexpected success of "Latata" led to multiple dancebreaks on music shows & remixes at the year-end festivals. Here's their performance at MBC Gayo 2018: https://youtu.be/4CwByRG0E-8

First time participating in and sliding under the wire at that, but I saw that this week's theme was and I immediately thought of this track.

"Abracadabra" by Brown-Eyed Girls -- and yes, that iconic hip-swaying choreo is from this song: https://youtu.be/ofwFr8o8p0Y

A question for you all:

How much do the performance /visuals aspects of kpop matter to you?

They're important for me; I'd be grief stricken if kpop MVs were to disappear from YouTube.

There's no "right" answer to my question -- I'm just interested to hear how other kpop fans feel.

Tbh I don't really watch a lot of MVs. I mostly listen on Spotify, but I definitely seek out performances and music stages

Just got the fall anime schedule from Crunchyroll. Heaven Official's Blessing S2 launches on October 17!!! It's real!!!

blackmagie, to Anime

Medicine Seller nendo AND Mononoke film coming next year! :blobcataww:

Obviously different voice actor and while I'll always associate Medicine Seller with Takahiro Sakurai, Hiroshi Kamiya is a great replacement. I won't dare hope for a US theatrical release but I'm excited for this movie's existence!! :party_parrot:

For today's , I'm gonna do BL recs based on my personal enjoyment and how much I still think about them now.

Honto Yajuu
Description: Police officer x Yakuza, but more of a slice-of-life. It's cute. It's funny. They get together really quickly so there's none of that drawn out misunderstanding. Police officer is a neighborhood policeman who patrols and stuff, yakuza is a softie, cute, and forward with his emotions. This is a comfort read because nothing terrible happens and... it really is just them shoving dog food[1] at everyone. There are many volumes of dog food.
Futekiya link: https://mangaplanet.com/comic/5facb14faa491

Sannin Gurashi
Description: It's told from the pov of the younger brother of a couple. The brothers were from a pretty abusive family. The story is about how they found love and make a new life after leaving their abusive family. It's short, sweet, sad, hopeful, unfortunately not licensed.

blackmagie,

@geraineon Chintsubu! What a throwback!

blackmagie, to random

I embraced the cozy vibes of the holiday season and made a broccoli mac and cheese bake for dinner. It was a heavily modified recipe in that I added broccoli in the first place lol along with some condensed cream of mushroom soup and used plant-based shredded cheese.

When I was recovering from surgery and the resulting complications, people were cooking for me and when they weren't, I was subsisting on leftovers. But as my strength and energy returns to their normal baseline levels, I want to get back into the habit of cooking! I love spending time in the kitchen. I'm a fucking kitchen witch!!

blackmagie,

@coffeentacos it adds a smoothness to the texture! But also I was concerned the plant-based cheese would be crumbly and melt weird lol

  1. A Stepmother's Marchen 1 by Spice&Kitty and Orka

I actually follow this webtoon on Tapas (known as The Fantasie of a Stepmother there), but I wanted the Seven Seas print edition because it's one of my absolute favorite series and the art is stellar. (Also, Orka is one of us! She used to post Haikyu fanart on Tumblr years ago!)

This is a regression series where the heroine dies an egregious death but wakes up 7 years in the past and gets a second chance at life. The basic premise is that the heroine is the much-younger second wife of a marquess. He dies, leaving everything to her - a seriously heavy responsibility when their family is one of the twin pillars supporting the imperial family. And because her stepchildren are only a few years younger than her, their relationship is strained and awkward at best. The heroine, Shuri, regresses to the day of her husband's funeral when she's only 16 years old.

  1. Not-Sew-Wicked Stepmom 2 by Iru & Mo9Rang

It's villainesses all the time around these parts :gritty: In this one, a children's clothing designer dies and transmigrates into the body of a wicked stepmother. The original story is a Snow White retelling where the stepdaughter becomes the fairest of them all, more or less.

Abigail, the newly transmigrated heroine, adores her cute stepdaughter, but the original Abigail was a terror so fixing her reputation is an uphill battle.

In this volume, the relationship between Abigail and her stepdaughter continues to improve while the one with her husband is...there. I suspect I know what's going on with the husband and his very obvious aversion to being touched by women, but I suppose we'll see how the series handles it.

  1. The Villainess Turns the Hourglass 2 by Sansobee & Antstudio

As the title suggests, this is another villainess regression story. In this one, the heroine was outmaneuvered by her younger stepsister and painted as a villainess & executed by her stepbrother.

Like other stories in this genre, Aria wakes up in the past with a second chance at life but what's interesting is that it's because she receives a magical hourglass from the powers that be that allows her to turn back time.

Interesting backstory: Aria's mother was a prostitute who got pregnant with her. Despite this, she managed to charm a rich count into marrying her. Unlike other stories, she brings Aria with her. Neat undercurrents going on with class there.

Major plot point is that Aria's set out to seduce her stepsister's fiance, but it's clear the true love interest is the crown prince who Aria doesn't realize yet is the crown prince in this volume. They have a great dynamic.

I've been reading Author of My Own Destiny (aka I Became the Wife of the Male Lead) on Tapas and the main couple is nice and all, I guess, but I desperately need someone to write a story about the heroine's adoptive father, Duke Abel. Please. PLEASE. 🙏

I also have a strong suspicion he's 100% the blueprint of the "cold terrifying duke of the north" archetype in villainess webtoons because he's the best version of it that I've seen and I say this as someone who loves Rouche from I'm a True Villainess (aka The Tragedy of the Villainess).

I don't go here, but I just read that Jin is going to be Jungkook and Jimin's drill instructor and I lolled.

blackmagie,

Taehyung enlisting with special forces and not Jungkook is a plot twist, but then I remembered Kookie's tattoos lol.

And with that, we bid farewell to the Queencard Era. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next month, girls. ❤️💜

(G)I-DLE is dropping new music next month and I'm warning you ahead of time that I'm about to be very annoying. :blobDance:

I love the theme for next month's Yoga with Adriene playlist but I'm still recovering from surgery! Wah, UNFAIR.

It's okay... I found a YouTube channel that has a yoga series for post-surgery recovery and I've been doing it as I can. (Sometimes I walk for 30-40 minutes instead or just plain skip if I'm super active at work.)

I'm just sad because the theme is great and the practices on the playlist are wonderful. :ablobsadpats:

I got my copy of the final volume of Heaven Official's Blessing today! Special edition. Haven't opened it yet because I had two articles to write lol. Tomorrow after work.

  1. Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint 1 by singNsong, Umi & Sleepy-C

After years of fandom osmosis, I'm finally beginning this series! This is the webtoon adaptation of the webnovel and I'll be reading the collected print volumes from Ize Press (Yen Press's manhwa/webtoon imprint).

The series focuses on Kim Dokja, a deeply mediocre contract office worker who spends his commutes reading an equally deeply unpopular webnovel called Three Ways to Survive an Apocalypse. He's the only reader & commenter of this 3000+ chapter novel. (It be like that sometimes...) But when he finishes the final chapter, the real world plunges into chaos as the events of the webnovel come to life around him.

Volume 1 covers the setup and the scenario (surviving a mass killing in a subway car). I can see why this series is popular. So far, I think I like it more than Solo Leveling. Probably blasphemy to admit that, but I don't care lol.

Today's cozy season meal is beef stew. I've made this dish on the stove, in a crock pot, and in an instant pot, but I think using the instant pot is my favorite method. You can sear the stew meat and cook the stew itself all in the same pot! Less dishwashing! (I hate washing dishes lol.)

This week's theme is .

And for that, I'd like to share this MV from Kahi, formerly the leader of After School. I'm specifically sharing the choreo MV because it's one of my favs. Kahi has such clean, precise lines as an idol dancer and you can see that here: https://youtu.be/z0otjkbeaeI
