#I_N is not actually flagging green on the left here, but it's close enough that I went looking for the difference between kelly green (hustler (for rent)) and hunter green (daddy).
My heart says I.N would want me to call it kelly green.

Wow #skz were really feeling the fantasy for this photoshoot.
Every photo of #Felix seems like he's hoping you'll whack off while looking at it.
(I'm sure there are scans out there that are way better quality than my dodgy photos taken while trying to hold the photo album open. But I don't know where to find the better quality scans so this will have to suffice.)
I need a hashtag for Felix being a whore (positive) but I don't know what to call the hashtag.
This has to be my favourite #skz poster of the ones I've obtained so far, and it *will* be going up in a frame on the gallery wall.
I love the whole aesthetic of this shoot in general, and this poster is even more special because of the important events in #skzHankyCode history:
* #Seungmin #FlaggingBlackRight (heavy SM bottom) (this continues to delight me greatly)
* #Changbin #FlaggingBlackLeft (heavy SM top)
* #Hyunjin and maybe #Han #FlaggingWhiteLeft (likes to masturbate)
* #LeeKnow's fake labret piercing (ahh I am a sucker for a labret piercing even when it's fake, I want a labret piercing)
* Hyunjin's stealth #ChromeHearts shirt (shh don't tell Versace)
Um. Whoops.
I bravely did not buy *every* new #skz thing that arrived at #IHeartKpop yesterday.
But I have definitely overspent on #skzMerch this month.
(Not all of it was from I Heart Kpop. Maybe about two thirds??)
Recent acquisitions:
* A #skzLightStick pin to go on my handmade replica of one of #Felix's Louis Vuitton beanies (in place of the LV badge that's on the genuine version)
* #PuppyM beanie (I think this was part of the range sold at the Japanese concerts last year??)
* PuppyM Tamagotchi, that came with a set of 8 photocards
* Red version of HOP album (I already had the blue version)
* Giant version A (with Blu-ray)
* The Sound version A (with Blu-ray)
* Maniac Seoul concert Blu-ray
* Bonus photo cards with purchases from I Heart Kpop (today the person noticed that #Seungmin is my bias, so they picked out 4 Seungmin cards for me 💕)
* A second album for my photocards, because the first one is overflowing
* A pack of photocard sleeves
* A fucking multi-region combo Blu-ray and DVD player (because I legit expected that I wouldn't ever again watch videos stored on physical media when I could just stream things, oh god why can't I just *stream things*)
I was deeply tempted to buy some of the member-designed Japanese merch, including #I_N's green knit balaclava and Seungmin's I LOVE MY SHOES packing cube. Please praise my restraint.
I don't know if I want to open all these items at once, or spread them out over time, but I think it will probably be more enjoyable to spread them out.
(It was a mistake to open all those Nacific photocards at once. I wish I'd only opened one pack a day instead.)
I know a lot of fans have been complaining that they won't get to see the #skzHOP solos from the first part of the #skzDominate tour, because they've replaced the solos with the duets, and swapped in some other songs.
Counterpoint: I didn't get to see #BurninTires performed live.
The bit where they're crouched down looking into a camera and #Changbin's rapping and #I_N is messing around with his mic stand and also sticking out his tongue.
Aaaaaaaaaaaa I NEED IT.
Also I.N has cake now?? Has this always been the case and I didn't notice??
Hey in the movie The Dark Crystal, there's a cataclysmic event in which the crystal cracked, and a lot of things in that world cracked or split in two at the same time.
Their planet originally had one moon, and it split into two moons at the time of the cataclysm.
Then, when the shard of the cracked crystal was restored, the split parts were healed and recombined.
Like how the red & blue lights danced over the water and then recombined into a single light again as part of the HOP logo splash.
#skzRed team and #skzBlue team were explicitly defined last year in #skzCode 59, part 1 of #FallFieldDay.
:youtube: https://youtu.be/g5FGuZZJy3A
The HOP album also came in red and blue versions, with the members' solos mostly (but not entirely) color-coded to match their teams.
The exception was Railway (coded red). If there's a secret reason why it was the exception, I haven't figured it out yet. Graphic designer missed the memo??
The MVs for the blue team's solos all included a #skzBlueMoon or, in #LeeKnow's case, a #BlueCake. (I'm counting that cake because it's round like a moon and also 'mooning' and 'cake' can both be associated with butts, so there.)
The MVs for the red team's solos did *not* have a common item appearing in all of them, as far as I can see. But the recent fan meeting featured a #skzRedMoon in the stage backgrounds for at least 3 of the songs. For this to be a deliberate red team reference, there would have to be a 4th occurrence that I missed, and I'm sure it's there somewhere.
Things I noticed:
* #Daengmo puppy plush which is normally in his bedroom
* Framed photo of someone's fingers in a v-sign, looking down on Seungmin (?) from above
* Framed photo of a group of people in a white studio (is it skz?)
* Macbook laptop with audio editing (or recording?) software open
* Framed photo of someone with dark brown hair and a fringe, posing for the camera with their fingers held in v-signs on either side of their face (behind the laptop)
* Framed photo of someone with dark brown hair and a fringe, wearing a long-sleeved white top, perhaps with a couple of dark stripes at the hip (also behind the laptop) (I think these photos are both of the same person but it doesn't look like a skz member to me)
* Phone with a white cover, face down
* His own baseball mitt and a baseball
* Small leather satchel
* Cover art for #Seungmin's cover of "Stay As You Are" by Sandeul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lha0Em9TFZI
* Cover art for Seungmin's cover of "Start" by Gaho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FpwF-v8_q0
* White (or cream) backpack with R on it
* A pale blue cloth (a scarf maybe?)
* Seungmin's own guitar
* Transistor radio
* Cassette player
* Cassettes for the previous 6 Song By episodes
* #SKZHOP album
* Various books, albums and photos that I don't recognise and can't see enough detail on to search for online
* "... Chang" written on a wall outside the window argh I can't quite see the first syllable
* Framed photo of Seungmin in his gay mens flag cardigan from the ATE album trailer, crouching down to pat the dog wearing pajamas
3RACHA all did backing vocals for each other on their solos... that's cute.
Anyway yey now I own #skzHOP and I really need to consider how best to protect my slowly growing photocard/etc collection.
(Also shoutout the stickers in this album I love 'em.) #skz #straykids #skzstay #straykidsstay #STAY
3RACHA did backing vocals for #Railway??? Loooordt.
(There's only one photoshoot in this booklet, or at least no costume change. I can only assume they had no Time in between everything else lol.) #skzHOP #SKZHOP_HIPTAPE
Got utterly fed up with target's infinity shipping delays (remind me not to pre-order things, especially not things releasing in December) and with spouse's help have hit up customer service to Do Something.
AKA cancel it and just fucking buy for pickup. (And for my pains I upgraded to the More Stuff version of #skzHOP because like??? Fuck you very much target. Lol.)
BANG CHRISTOPHER CHAN.
That's it. That's the entire review of the #Railway MV, because I've been slain by the hotness.
(No but I actually said "oh, fuck me" OUT LOUD at one point.) (How dare he.) (Please keep daring.)
#Bangchan #Chan #Railway_byBangchan #skzsolo #skz #straykids #skzstay #straykidsstay #STAY #HOP #skz_HOP #skzHOP #SKZHOP_HIPTAPE
At this rate am I getting #skzHOP *this year*?
Fuck you target, I don't want to approve a delay, I want you to deliver my album. Or give me one good reason why I can't take my chair and go to target and show them the ridiculous fucking delay and ask why the fuck I can't just go pick up a copy and have them prod things so it's all marked delivered.
(Delivery date was just pushed to the 29th. I'm legit this close 🤏🏻 to wanting to scream at customer service even tho I knoooowwww cs will also look at this and go "okay I know it's holiday crunch but what the Fuck" before seeing what they can do. Or well that'd be the Hope. 🙃🙃)
"It's okay to be awkward sometimes / dive into this moment / where I shine brightest just the way I am" YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT LEE KNOW!!
This MV is so cute? It looks like he had so much fun with this concept and the idea that fun doesn't stop just because you age. (And the older ladies sure seemed to get a kick out of the roles lmao.)
I will say it felt surprisingly quiet for how much of a bop it is but like. Idk how much of that is me lollll. Literally #deafproblems lol.
Anyway #Youth is great. (I like how so many of these solos are clearly the hug to themself they need/ed and are just full of feels that they resonate with others too.) (Y'all see Han being verklempt in Jakarta?? 🥺🥺🥰)
#LeeKnow #Youth_byLeeKnow #Lino #skzsolo #skz #straykids #skzstay #straykidsstay #STAY #HOP #skz_HOP #skzHOP #SKZHOP_HIPTAPE
I can't believe I'm saying this but Changbin, babe, there's such a thing as shooting too dark with too much green light.
Like yes I know the concept, I get the concept, I love the concept, Changbin is a nerd and proud of it, but... pls. The detail kept getting drowned. What's the point of costuming and set designers doing all that lovely work if I can't see shit bc it's all black in migraine green with shadow and half the time it's flashing? (Yes I've tried turning brightness up. It helps like... 10%. It is literally the lighting choices for the MV.)
Anyway, #ULTRA as a song is ofc a bop and in studio quality we love. Just don't see this MV getting much random replay from me.
#Changbin #SeoChangbin #skzsolo #ULTRA_byChangbin #skz #straykids #skzstay #straykidsstay #STAY #HOP #skz_HOP #skzHOP #SKZHOP_HIPTAPE
Let's see... if I'm counting right we have Changbin, Lee Know, and Chan left.
I'm not ready for Chan's but I don't think there's any way TO be ready for Chan's lmfao the man is a menace.

Okay Hyunjin I see you.
First of all whoever put that low gold chain belt on him deserves an award because my gxd is it WERKIN. 🥵
I like how it seems to be mostly an excuse to just dance and *feel*, tho the lyrics explain why he always looks like he feels so free performing it - "now that I'm crazy, I like to live as I wish" "unsolicited opinions not welcome, no" "my favorite hobby [is] laughing freely" - it's an "I'm me, it's great, you can fuck off if you don't like it" anthem and I love it and how hard he's owning it.
Also the beat SLAPS and the costuming is a++. Life is SO good, indeed.
#Hyunjin #HwangHyunjin #SoGood #SoGood_byHyunjin #skzsolo #skz #straykids #skzstay #straykidsstay #STAY #HOP #skz_HOP #skzHOP #SKZHOP_HIPTAPE
Love the styling and production design ... yay!

Oh Jisung! Squee .. the whole aesthetic is perfection. Obsessed. :blobhaj_heart:
HAN "Hold my hand" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzBB7izZnZk
Bonus of waking spouse up at 6am: #Han's solo is up! (Weird being that early to an MV tho! Refreshed YT and it was like "posted 6min ago" and I went "well now I know the timezone conversion... :3")
First observations: fjsvrisbr #Holdmyhand is very gay (Han is NOT being subtle at all - has he officially come out or is he just letting it be Very Loud without actually saying anything? Bc trust me, it's LOUD. 😂😂😂), very sweet, and frankly adorable.
It's cute how he plays both parts in the MV, but I wonder if there's a reason he didn't want someone else in the MV to play the "love interest"... 🤔
And that's all the brains I have right now, thanks. 😅😂
#HanJisung #Holdmyhand_byHan #skzsolo #skz #straykids #skzstay #straykidsstay #STAY #HOP #skz_HOP #skzHOP #SKZHOP_HIPTAPE
I *still* have not been able to get a good image of the dagger earring that #Han wears a lot. It might be this dagger hoop earring from Chrome Hearts?? But I'm not confident about it.
Back to the #skzHOP intro video to document the #skzSignificantJewellery appearances ...
* #Changbin wearing the #ChromeHearts pendant that #BangChan gave him for his birthday
* #I_N wearing his Chrome Hearts glasses

Target now says MONDAY for my copy of #skzHOP.
What the hap is fuckening, target.
(At what point is it acceptable to contact customer service and ask why there are copies in stores around me and yet my *pre-ordered* album is now being delivered 11 days post album release?? This feels excessive is all.)
Meeting cancelled :success:
Okay so.
#skzCode #FallFieldDay #skzRed team:
- #Hyunjin
- #I_N
- #Felix
- #Changbin
#skzBlue team:
- #BangChan
- #Seungmin
- #LeeKnow
- #Han
The solo song sticker colours all match the field day colours too, *except* Railway is red instead of blue. It feels like maybe it's an exception because it's horny, and Bang Chan has a thing about red in that context. #RailwayByBangChan
The three OT8 songs are split. #WalkinOnWater is red. #BounceBack & #UFeatTablo are both blue.
Bounce Back is mostly Han, so that makes sense that it's on the blue side.
I *think* U is mostly Bang Chan.
Walkin On Water seems like a fairly evenly balanced #3racha production.
The red and blue lore goes back to the #CléSeries at least (or possibly earlier??)
#SkzHOP logo release with the blue & red lights dancing around each other then combining:
:youtube: https://youtu.be/U_5ls7hRCY4
Target app says my copy of #skzHOP will be delivered tomorrow. The email I got earlier says Friday. U w U
(The extras are bonuses but I'm already a weeeee tiny sad the accordion version won't have as much shinies as the version I wanted but got sold out in pre-sale. Listen,,,, 😆🤣)
So. Much. #Seungmin
Thank you photocard deities
#2Min couple card & matching #SeungChan & #HyunIn sets 😍
(I picked the blue version because Seungmin was in the #skzBlue team in the recent #skzCode #FallFieldDay episode)
I'm having theories about skz and blue teams but have to go to a work meeting so I'll save the theories for later
Watching the #WalkinOnWater making of vid and I think Changbin and Chan were mutually trolling each other with the cowboys and riding kangaroos thing?? I hope they were, anyway. (Either that or Chan has a running experiment with how long can he make Changbin believe the kangaroo thing. 😅😅)
I.N. was willing to film up on the roof without safety wires... like a maniac. Thank you @ literally everyone else for shooting THAT down! (And now I know why it's always I.N. in the wires - he thinks they're fun. This man would bungee jump and zipline. No one tell him about ziplining.)
... that devolved into barking for some reason?? ... men. 🤷🏻😆
DAY TWO OF FILMING
"The [jet ski] always turns over, doesn't it?" ... I feel like you two are probably doing something wrong. <*eyes Han and Felix*>
Han assigning Joseon era roles feels accurate. I.N. would absolutely be a court lady. 🤣🤣🤣 (and then he got distracted by a mini horse lmfao.)
Hahahaha the mini horse neighing and startling the fuck out of Seungmin... I hope that goes down in internal skz lore and he never lives it down lmao.
"The genre almost changed" <*cough*> hello editor being a thirsty bitch, I see you. :blobcateyes:
Some of those shots were absolutely selected just because editor was being a thirsty bitch and wanted to feed stay too. My gxd, Chan's shoulders. Hnnnnn.
Anyway as usual it looks like they had fun with their MV shoot lolol.
#skz #straykids #skzstay #straykidsstay #STAY #HOP #skz_HOP #skzHOP #SKZHOP_HIPTAPE
(How I love that JYPE posts MVs with captions available. So good.)
Something tells me Felix has watched Disney's Beauty & the Beast approx 13927400271 times. SAME HAT MY DUDE. (I see a comment mentioning it's his fave movie. Taste, Felix. *Taste*.)
But fr #Unfair is such an homage to specifically that telling of the tale (name-dropping Gaston and Belle? Lololol) with himself cast as the Beast that I wish I could ask him (gently!) his mental space behind the association and what it means to him. Like, off the record, wouldn't tell anyone else if that's what he needed.
Side note, if the Beast's human form was as handsome-pretty as Felix is, I would probably object a lot less to, you know, his human form. (I mean these days I can look at his human form and go "kudos to the artists for accurate if still idealized royal line facial features in Europe considering The Hapsburgs et al" but damn if I still don't think he's more handsome as the Beast. I always have. 😆🤣)
Aaaaaanyway I'm here for Felix commentary and not B&tB commentary, technically. So mmmm so Cinematic, no dance breaks, just... the story unfolding. Love it. I would have liked a little more explanation for the angel wings but hey.

I have a few questions about what the fuck SKZ is wearing for the #WalkinOnWater dance practice. Like is it not kept temperate or was it laundry day or were they playing "troll the shit out of people" or what?? (My guess is the last one considering Lee Know was in shorts and a tee. Meanwhile Hyunjin: furry hat and a skirt over pants. Han: kerchief like a lil old person. Smfh lol.) #skz #straykids #skzstay #straykidsstay #STAY #HOP #skz_HOP #skzHOP #SKZHOP_HIPTAPE
To make up for the disappointment of Walkin On Water, I'm delighted to discover that all the solo tracks on #skzHOP are better than the concert versions
Including the ones that didn't grab me as much in the live versions (#UnfairByFelix, #YouthByLeeKnow, #SoGoodByHyunjin)
I love all the solo tracks now and I'm so glad we have these studio versions
This image better not be mirrored, or I'll be cross.
#Seungmin #FlaggingBlackRight (heavy SM bottom)
Well, fuck
The new #skz title track #WalkinOnWater has a Harry Potter reference in the first verse 😬
I know some of skz are fans but up until now it's stayed out of their music.
I guess I'll be skipping that track when listening to this album.
#skzHankyCode someone actually flagging on the right! First time I've spotted it.
#Hyunjin white on the right (I'll do us both)
(Another guest for Seungmin's upcoming #WankBy series, I hope??)
... Wait a minute. The text on his T-shirt is reversed. Is this video mirrored?
Zooming in on his face, I can't see a mole under his left eye, and his right eye is obscured by fringe. Therefore I'm pretty sure this video is mirrored.
In which case, false alarm, no flagging right 😭
Hyunjin #FlaggingWhiteLeft (likes to masturbate).

✂️ #Han talking about #HoldMyHand and then the part where he runs down the stage and the confetti cannons go off and I cry every fucking time
:youtube: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxCNPwvx-74FttcGuhbaFMG9b6AhySLQ0D
OH MY GOD THIS IS SO ADORABLE I CANNOT
✂️ #Seungmin wants to record his part of #UFeatTablo again and can't let it go. #BangChan drags him onto his lap and laughs into his back.
:youtube: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxPta-jv6WZgDO_zCsntz4XNlbiCj0PE2C
fuuuuck #I_N's part in #BounceBack is sexy. Thank you #BangChan & #Han Jisung for pushing Jeongin further into that vibe. You're doing valuable work and I appreciate it very much.
✂️ #CutieJisungie getting gently wrangled by #Changbin MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT

Side note: I'm enjoying the very London pronunciation of 'water' with the silent T.
I told myself that I was going to watch the #skzHOP intro all the way through before starting to clip anything.
But then Chan and Minho did this.
✂️ #BangChan wants to know why #LeeKnow's delivery sounds so cute. Minho says it's because Chan has love goggles on

#I_N's whore energy was off the charts for a good chunk of the #skzDominateOsaka concert last night. Poor Mary had to put up with me whimpering and then apologising immediately afterwards.
They know me and were not surprised, and they insisted that my apologies were not required.
However I require Yang Jeongin to visit me personally and apologise for the outfit he wore and the hip swivelling he did during last night's performance of #HallucinationByI_N
Preferably while wearing said outfit and demonstrating his hip swivelling technique (slowly and in great detail) so I can be confident that he fully understands how he has transgressed.
MV trailer for #YouthByLeeKnow looks like a lot of fun
The live performances of this song didn't grab me, but I'm loving the silly vibe of this trailer and think it suits him really well.
(Side note: #RailwayByBangChan will be the next MV trailer to drop, omg, how naked will Christopher get?)
:youtube: https://youtu.be/jqN9H7WMO68
If the #skzHOP solo track unveils come out in reverse age order, tonight will be #Felix's solo, then tomorrow night will be HOLD MY HAND by #Han OMG LET'S FUCKEN GOOOOOOO
Because my life is hard, the videos are dropping at 11pm Seoul time, which is 1am Melbourne time right now waaaaah. I *could* theoretically wait until Friday morning and watch it when I wake up. But we all know that I'm going to set an alarm for just before 1am Friday just to watch 30 seconds of the Hold My Hand track unveil
I *think* it's a mistake that the official #skz channel has added #Seungmin's new #SongBy episode to their #Skzhop playlist.
Cannot say that the latest Song By has a hip-hop vibe.
