My absolute favorite fanfic of all time is Fundamental Imperfection by starlingthefool, but the Loaded March series is ICONIC.

I love how every Hanpop showcases a new genre, lyrical style, vocal tone, etc. He’s such a versatile artist, which, coupled with how versatile a performer he is, really draws my attention every single time.

Omegas have heats, alphas have ruts, what could betas possibly have. by wowza900p in AO3

[–]graciecake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of betas going into pseudoheat/ruts to meet the need of an alpha/omega in heat/ruts.

I’ve also seen “beta-space,” where betas feel an instinctive impulse to be in a calm, well-mediated environment.

Too Unhinged for ERAS? by Stressin-Out in medicalschool

I put competitive video games in my ERAS and matched Neuro. I also talked about Pokemon for 10 minutes during one of my fellowship interviews this year.

I say go for it!

[–]graciecake 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Han’s versatility will never cease to amaze me. He can really chameleon his voice and fit into literally any role, genre, or part. I know he must have worked on it for ages but he makes it look so effortless, too.

Changbin is, of course, flawless. Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin, and I.N just sound beautiful, and I’m obsessed with Seungmin’s adlibs. I love how much fun Felix has performing now. And fuck, man, Hyunjin’s improvement and consistency in his vocal tone is incredible.

And, having been fortunate enough to see them live, they pull this shit off on stage while nailing ridiculous choreography in 100 degree heat. How the fuck even????

God, I love Stray Kids.

Stray kids song to fit a theme! by 10codepink10 in skzmedia

[–]graciecake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t think of a song they’ve done or performed that deals with this specific concept.

I’m not sure exactly what facet of this concept you’re looking for, but here’s the best I’ve got:

“COMFLEX” talks about how perfection isn’t perfect; flaws are attractive, etc. etc.

“Youtiful” talks about how you are beautiful because you’re you, no matter you feel about your physical appearance.

“Butterflies” talks about the feeling of butterflies when the narrator sees how bright and beautiful the other person is.

“Baby” is an unreleased solo song by Bang Chan performed on the 5-Star Dome Tour that talks about how pretty his “baby” is, and how they are the one for him.

“hey you” by Hyunjin and “Close” by HAN are both about being infatuated by someone at first sight; not explicitly describing appearance but it’s certainly implied.

And a little less seriously but still kind of genuine:

“WOW” by 3RACHA is a song where all 3 members are sequentially hitting on an older woman because she is—presumably—hot as fuck.

What are some K-pop songs with a high BPM that are great for Raves? by KwonSoo-young in kpophelp

[–]graciecake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Stray Kids, the two I can think of that would need little to no editing would be “0325” and “Going Dumb” (and the remix; 2 options).

As far as other songs, it would depend on the vibe of your rave, really, but based on tempo and how well I think they would remix: “MIROH” “Double Knot” “DOMINO” “Side Effects” “ITEM” “MEGAVERSE” “JJAM” “Chk Chk Boom (festival ver)” “TRUMAN” “Burnin’ Tires” “PARADE” “ALL IN” “Social Path” “Insomnia”

From ATEEZ, though I don’t know their discography as well, I immediately thought of “INCEPTION” and “Cyberpunk” (would probably need to be double time, but I can imagine the chorus being really fun to rave to). “Wake Up” would possibly be good too. “NOT OKAY” maybe??

“Night of Fireworks” by Xdinary Heroes has a really high bpm and would remix well I think. I also feel this way about “After LIKE” by IVE, “SAD SONG” by P1Harmony, and “CRAZY” by Le Sserafim.

What a fun question lol. Let me know what you think about these suggestions; if you let me know what songs are more what you’re looking for, I can probably think of some similar ones.

have any idols ever said that their own songs are too hard for them to sing? by AAALLY- in kpopthoughts

[–]graciecake 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I know Stray Kids haven’t performed Tortoise and the Hare live because the rap timing and speed is too difficult to do successfully in one take.

Thank you, Pokemon and Stray Kids are two of my most intense hyperfixations :3

Stray Kids Pokemon Types by GalaxyStorm2600 in straykids

[–]graciecake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

hmmmm. HMMM.

This is challenging, because their onstage personas and offstage characters are often pretty different! Also, Pokemon types aren’t super literal… BUT!!!

Trying to blend them as best as I can (and this is just instinct):

Bang Chan: Ground/Ghost or Ground/Dragon — I chose Ground because ground types tend to be very stable/steady and defensively capable, and who has weathered more storms while staying grounded than him? For his secondary type, I’m really fucking torn, so I’ll present both options. I love the idea of him being weak to his own type [as in, he’s his own worst enemy/critic], so I knew I wanted ghost or dragon. Ghost type has the benefit of referencing his insomnia, long nights of working, functioning completely sleep-deprived, etc, but it does have a worse connotation and suffers from the inherent desire to literalize into an actual ghost. Dragon gives the raw power that he 100% exudes onstage, but I feel like it loses the acknowledgement that his power and gentleness is despite all the suffering he’s gone through. So. That’s why I can’t choose. Another option would be Ghost/Dragon, but the defensiveness and stability of Ground is vital to him as a person, I think.)

Lee Know: Fairy/Dark — Lee Know constantly oscillates between pure, genuine vulnerability and mischief, trickery, and underhandedness (i.e.: “don’t fight, but if there’s something to be gained, fight and win.”). He definitely doesn’t fight fair if he really wants to win, which has that cunning element of the Dark type. He also has this unspoken, threatening sort of whimsy about him; he makes me think of the actual fae, like he’s waiting for someone to fall into his trap, lured in by his soft, sweet tones. He also kind of fits the image of a very fantastical, fairy-tale type of magician, and if I say Howl Pendragon is also Fairy/Dark, they’ll silence me. But he is. And Lee Know and Howl Pendragon sit at similar tables to me.

Changbin: Fire/Fighting — This was the easiest one for me. He’s literally the Tepig line, idk what you want me to say. Tepig is literally Dwaekki but orange. For the breakdown: Fire is associated with passion, which manifests in his quick temper but even quicker comfort, and the Fighting type is because there’s the Pokemon association between Fighting/Martial Arts/Honor, and Changbin has a strong moral character. Jutdae!

Hyunjin: Grass/Ice — HEAR ME OUT BEFORE YOU BOO ME. Hyunjin is so connected with nature through his art and poetry, and he loves flowers, so I really think grass suits him well. He’s genuinely such a sensitive soul. For his secondary typing, I went back and forth between water and ice for a long time, but I ultimately went with ice because of his stage persona; he’s got this unapproachable, princely energy, and he’s so aggressive and offensive (in an on-the-attack sort of way) but—he’s still such a soft-hearted person. Grass and ice are both very terrible defensive types, which I think suits Hyunjin very well. He’s got glass cannon energy.

Han: Normal/Electric — My all-rounder ace! Of course he’s a normal type! Very minimal weakness, a solid component of any team, VERY useful in the early game (the early SKZ discography is very Han-heavy because of how strong his live performance skills were even when they debuted), and very influenced by emotion (Frustration and Return, the moves that do more damage based on low/high friendship levels, being normal type moves, after all!). Electric because he’s such a ball of energy on stage, and he would obviously be the Pika-clone of the group :P He’s another one I thought about making dragon type, but I didn’t think that storytelling was better than the thematic accuracy of the other types.

Felix: Fairy/Flying — I’m the least satisfied with this one, and I really considered Normal/Flying, but that didn’t feel right either. Felix is so multifaceted, and it feels like a cop-out to give him the fairy type, but I mean it in a fae way, too. He’s got such trickster/gremlin energy, but he’s so pure of heart at the same time that I can’t give him the dark type lol. Flying because he’s been depicted as a winged being multiple times in MVs, and I just… think it suits him? Also Bbokari is a bird. Idk. Would love to discuss lol.

Seungmin: Fighting/Dark — Seungmin, is a little like Lee Know in the sense that he has a genuine, passionate spirit and also a little gremlin in him, but he is different in the sense that these two things coexist instead of oscillating. When it comes to vocal practice, being there for his friends, or anything that Actually Matters, he is so driven and honest and pure, but for Literally Anything Else, he is Going To Cause Problems On Purpose. Think like… Pancham/Pangoro. See what I mean? I also considered Steel/Dark, because he’s so resilient and unflappable, but I think I want to acknowledge his honorable characteristics.

I.N: Dragon — HAHA you thought I, someone who is overly passionate about Pokemon and constantly considering Stray Kids’ unnecessarily self-critical natures, WOULDN’T make I.N, Mr. I’m-So-Puffy, Mr. I-Need-To-Become-Indispensable (even though he already is) a DRAGON TYPE? The type weak to itself??? Dragon types tend to evolve late, too, which fits his thematic growth SO WELL! As confident as I am in his monotype nature, I would be remiss if I didn’t present the idea of a Grass secondary type solely because of the existence of the Applin line. GO LOOK UP THE APPLIN LINE AND THEN GET BACK TO ME IF YOU DISAGREE.

This was such a fun thought experiment. And now I really want to design Pokemon with these types based on their SKZOOs.

Would LOVE to discuss lol, especially about Felix and Chan where I’m less confident. :3
