Baddest do what the baddest do 🎶

K/DA HYPE. K/DA HYPE..!

League of Legends' "idol group" made a comeback with the pre-release single The Baddest (preceding their full EP which will probably be released in November so idk why they put this one out so early dfjksk) and it's another banger. 💜 Two of the singers are different from two years ago but I'm sooooo glad that Soyeon and Miyeon—both of (G)I-DLE—returned for their roles. 🥺

I'm a huge fan of Soyeon's raps and this verse really surprised me! Firstly it's a much darker tone than what I've typically heard her use and it goes hard in a different way than usual—instead of being sort of quippy it's a more constant, low intensity with no rush to go anywhere. It's totally opposite from her flow from True Damage which was all about speed and bounce. And this one is so long; I kept being surprised when it kept going but it's cool that she gets so much spotlight. ^^

I have a lot of fun learning her raps (just started this thread for all of the oneshot covers I've done of Soyeon verses) but WOWEE this one was more challenging than I expected... It turned out to be such a test of stamina, breath control, and even memory haha. The flow is straightforward but the pure length makes it hard. And then keeping up with the kind of darker timbre while adding my own flair but also figuring out how to do this in a one shot without pushing my voice unhealthily so that I could get through full takes intact and also do multiple takes to choose from.. Sustenance has always been an issue for me because I don't use good vocal techniques but somehow??? after filling up my phone's voice memos with practice over 3 days, I'm pleasantly surprised I sorta figured out how to do this one without having a sore throat at the end of filming. ;u;

i was so happy for Soyeon getting such a long rap in The Baddest but aa,, hard,,,, i practiced a lot the past few days so here is my attempt!! 🌟#KDA #THEBADDEST pic.twitter.com/bdj3dJDG8U

Wearin' my shoddy POP/STARS Kai'sa cosplay ehehe SPEAKING OF WHICH....

I-I received two really beautiful pieces of art as surprise gifts in the past couple weeks?!?! q/////q Am not worthy.... am so not worthy.... I MEAN JUST LOOK. SO GORGEOUS. This one is by the incredible artist YouYou who also recently drew amazing pieces of chiisana and fome. Her coloring especially is so stunning and gives her artwork so much life. 😭

Aaah so cute so cute I die... chiisana and I have been talking for a long time about putting together a revival Mermaid Melody collab and I've been enjoying relistening to a lot of the songs in the past few months... But now this was the catalyst for me to start rewatching the 2003 anime from the beginning and omg I'm having so much fun with it since I don't remember anything about the plot yet I already love all the characters and can sing along to all the songs!
