I still haven't heard maybe half of txt's discography despite casually listening to them for years, but many of their songs are among best of the best in kpop imo. ...and many others are slop 😭

same guy has also done a lot of screaming in 0x1 and Frost

shoutout to an old fave I've looped so much at one point I got sick of her for the rest of the year
(not like Sp*tify can count mv streams... and this is unfortunately still one of my favorite mvs. remember when Rigend wasn't washed?)

anyway, meh song, grating vocals (sorry guys), but also: Jungw*n
+ there's something about this particular chorus with the partner dance

+ it was Halloween ok

I used to HATE this bloody (heh) annoying thing, but it does its job of getting stuck in one's head. which is usually the main point ig

(I want to get DNC to 80+ for eventual amaro, ideally to 100 for inventory/gear management reasons
at first I was glamming into the miqo side character bc Noa and DNC do Not go well together but then I really liked this costume

bonus: lace panties. I never see them but just knowing is funny enough)

afaik Trophy is much more chill than their previous TTs (Sure Thing is a - beautiful - outlier and should not be counted) and the best way I could describe it was "what I imagined NCT to sound like before actually listening to them"

I also liked Need That Bass. actual cock music (/pos somehow)

actually this is what I've been looping thanks to oomf payola (I listen mainly to big4 artists for a few reasons I'm not very proud of, oomf who mostly prefers mid- to nugu artists fills the gaps for me sometimes)
took a couple listens and the showcase performance (nice choreo!) to grow on me tho

BND's performance was also pretty nice (first time hearing Hollywood Action and it immediately made me do a little dance in my chair which is usually a very good sign)

well, I fuck with that + the "run to you" prechoruses + Narin and Gawon's part in the 2nd verse (plugged here). which is almost the entire song! on my first listen I thought Burning Up was kinda whatever but it's actually pretty damn nice

talking about a TBL group on two different sites at the same time, in 2025, is crazy work
I swear they're actually cool and fun (and I'd have the Abracadabra cover/Hands Up/Drop Top kcon stage to prove that IF IT WASN'T DROPPING IN TWO YEARS)

the linework in the sketch is something to look up to omg
(don't get me wrong, the rendered one also bangs, it's just personal preferences)
I either had no idea or forgot that you draw 🫠

adjusted colors and brightness a little, I won't really have any reason to post the edited pic (other than some kinda year end/bragging posts or threads lol) so I just have to live with it

ironically the posted one looks good on my phone and it's perfectly wallpaper-sized... huh

this laptop and my phone show colors VERY differently but since I was editing on the laptop anyway.... yeeeeahhhh sometimes I need to put it aside and come back later with fresh eyes

as for dialogues, I have a general idea of what I want to say, but putting it into proper words is difficult. picking up some classic English book written in a similar way would probably help, but unfortunately I have to read a book in Estonian first for my classes...

one other thing I did was editing the modded texture a little bit because it was forcing dark lipstick on me
don't remember if I enabled the mod itself when taking pictures (it changes normals as well which is pretty cool)

>instead I went to Ishgard and yoinked the model of a random named NPC (I thought they wouldn't have different neck textures, but they do!), went back to the location and took a similar picture. with a bit of drawing on top and color correction it seems to have worked out
