I love how xlov just speaks and articulates everything they have to say because you can tell this concept is something that they've thought alot about and have believed in for a long time

You could already tell that they're serious about this but just hearing them put it into words from their own mouth, idk why I feel kinda emotional watching this video, it's the kind of feeling where you really feel seen and heard and their words just really resonate with me as a nonbinary person but also as an artist. This isn't just an idea they're trying to do, this is an idea and message they're activity executing, they've already decided that they're here for the long run and will continue to build their xlov universe

I really related to how each member describes the concept and their perception of gender presentation because it really is just what makes you happy and what makes you feel beautiful, I really liked how wumuti says 'putting on a tie not just because the gender you were assigned at birth says male/your I'd says male, if I wanted to wear a tie than I'll wear a tie but if I wanted to wear a dress I'll put on a dress', I also really love how hyun said that it just came naturally cus for a long time hes always questioned these things and stereotypes and why these gender categories were needed, cus I thought the same, I asked alot of questions as a kid and not just why's the sky blue I was a kid but I wasn't stupid I was really observant and I thought gender roles were really dumb. I also love how wumuti says that what they think is beautiful may change when they older cus I think its important to point out how gender is really fluid and how you view it can change especially as you change or you find new language to describe it, your tastes can change, what you think is affirming to you can shift you might think differently later, idk I think that was such a good point to make because wumuti also mentions how people might expect things from them, try to predict things and he's like it might not even be like that or they wanna be a bit unpredictable cus they're just going to do what they wanna do no matter what

This was such a good interview I love when xlov does interviews cus I wanna live inside their brain, I wanna poke around in there and see how they think, I wanna hear their thoughts through my headphones👁

Masterpiece feels shorter than it is

Its 2:49 which imo is a pretty decent length for a song, hips is 2:18 which is honestly pretty short but it's also the perfect length yk? it doesn't feel like 2:18 tbh, but masterpiece despite being longer felt like it was shorter and i was trying to figure out why it felt like that cus it has everything i love about it in there and it's very enjoyable to listen to but it ends and I'm like that's it I want more

But then I realized masterpiece dosen't have a bridge, I think it's the only song that doesn't have a bridge, after the second chorus it goes into the outro, even hips which is like 30secs shorter has a shift before the last chorus

On one hand I get it cus once the instrumental is over I dont expect you to keep singing into nothingness but also I want more song masterpiece is so good I need more, start doing random vocal runs and adlibs, start singing directly into my ears, inject that shit into my veins

I love wumuti, theres so many things I love about this video but the biggest I wanna mention is how much pride? pride probably isn't the word I'm looking for but how much he loves evols and hearing some of our unique stories about gender and self discovery because of xlov and how seeing xlov be so unapologetic inspired so many but also the mom like aura he emits and how we sometimes call him mom and how safe so many evols feel with wumuti, from his kind eyes and warm smile, how xlov and evol seem to bring mutual comfort to each other

Something else I love is when wumuti asked the other members to join and if they were all comfortable doing this cus not everyone is comfortable putting so much of themselves out there, they were like what do you mean like that wasn't even a question, this is something they had to do and its fate that they had to do it together

I'm sorry yall, you can not make me hate these even if you tried

The crocs are so cool and funky and so fucking interesting to me and I think they match with each members nail art too which is so cool too

I feel like theres so much to look at and I love looking at them and seeing at the different accessories that are attached to them

I am not a croc girlie, I have never owned a pair of crocs in my life but I love weird shit I think this is so cool

Harus shoose have more color on them same with his nails and they're littered in accessories and theres like pink bows and cool jibbits, and jewelry and his nails too have more color and I think 3d art too I'll have to look again but his nails slay so hard

Wumuti has lace and ribbons and hearts and a couple bows and dainty things and soft colors compared to harus pinks and yellows and golds and jewelry, wumutis shoes are more pearlescent and his heel is high and chunky✨ I can already imagine him strutting in these

Ruis also has lace and ribbon but it also has a flower and and lots of flowers shapes, and pearls, and stars and rui also has lots of jewelry, I love Ruis the best honestly I really like them

I also like that they're recognizably crocs but they're all different shapes

Hyuns crocs look more like a classic white croc no platform cus shes tall enough, simple but the metallic silver accessories elevate it so much, looks like lots of star shapes I think theres a rocket shape too and compared to the dramatics of the other three it doesn't look out of place or too simple and also matches well with his silver manicure💅🏾✨✨

I definitely want a close up of all of their nails, I wanna see all the details, gimme inspo✨

It is kinda funny that of all kinds of shoes to put them in they chose crocs but XLOV are croc truthers‼ they be wearing crocs all the time like get that crocs sponsorship mama✨ evols are buying platform crocs as we speak

After watching the bizness recording behind 40 times(real) I would actually love to see xlov do more of this hip hop style

There are alot of different genres and styles I'd love to see xlov dip their toes into but I think (regardless of how much I love bizness) seeing the process, and how they put this together, also just how much fun they seem to have in the studio, and also each of their unique styles of rapping, I'd love to see more of it

Their covers are the best source of seeing xlovs versatility in the different genres they can sing but hearing their own music hits different in a way you know they created it and how much love and care they put into the music.

When xlov performs a cover they put their own little spin on it while still being true to the original song and modify the choreography for 4 people, even when performing someone else song they make sure to put on a true xlov performance

I love all the little details in bizness I genuinely wish the adlibs were more prominent in final edit

Harus rapping style really takes it for me, I was just as hype as the other members hearing him record his verse cus he was doing it, he was spitting, that was so dope honestly cus he sounds exactly like the final edit of the song, Kato Haru the all rounder that you are✨

Something I actually really love about the bizness recording is it doesn't sound like they're trying to sound a certain way, rather finding a certain way for them to sound if that makes sense???

They all have such different vocal flavors it's hard to sound the exact same but for xlov they're really good meeting each other and blending their vocals and harmonizing, so hearing them rapping and trying different styles and the way they deliver the lines is so interesting. They're developing their own unique flow, full of attitude, full of sass, diva on 200%, hearing those tonal shifts and patterns and pitch changes, and actually riding the beat and not letting the beat walk all over you with full confidence especially when bizness is supposed to be a big fuck you to the haters middle fingers up idgaf, they matched that energy and it sounds insane🔥

For my zodiac sign one of my significant dates for me this year is march 7th

Now I've been trying to estimate when my evol anniversary is, my evolversary, cus I know I became an evol some time in march/end of february, it was after their first fanmeet and near the beginning of xlovs first Japan tour, so seeing that day made me go hmm thats weird

But something else about that time frame is at that time xlov was starting to post vlogs, they already had all their I'mma be behind the scenes stuff out and they were uploading their first little travel vlog where they stayed somewhere for a weekend I think

I remember watching the imma be recording and like itd been out for a couple days already and then the first part was either already out or it came out shortly after, I was stalking xlov at this point like I didn't follow them yet but I was checking their channel to see if they posted anything new but I was for sure following them while they were posting vlogs cus I was like this is ridiculous I'm a fan, no doubt I'm a fan why am I searching them up every day when I can just subscribe, once those vlogs were dropping I was consistent, subscribed and notifications on, I was there every week, happy xlov saturday everyone, I kind of concluded that it was at some point around or before then that I was like yeah I'm evol

I was already digging around for vids of xlovs performances in Japan and I'd already watched every other video they posted and followed all their socials, safe to say I was evol by then

So I went to xlovs YouTube to see when those videos were posted

The imma be recording was posted march 1st.

Part 1 of their first travel vlog was posted on march 8th.

Remember how I said the vlog came out a bit after I watched the recording

All that to say I'm adopting march 7th as my yearly evolversary💖

Which then means on january 7th xlov day, is my 10 months evolversary💖

Something I genuinely love about XLOV is their concept is so incredibly queer.

Not just queer in LGBTQ contexts because of the whole genderless/gender non conforming theme

But queer in an eccentric and peculiar way.

In the most positive way possible.

They're not just doing something different for different sake, this is something they actually believe in and put alot of thought and effort into. If you're gonna do this you have to full send that shit.

On top of the fact that Imma be literally has crack in it, XLOV is definitely a group that leaves you yearning for more. Whether you're an evol or not you want to see what they do next, what else they have in store, if they're debut looks like this, what's their comeback gonna look like? People will see something different and want to know what the hell its about.

And that's so fucking cool

I need them to be even cuntier and more eccentric and gender weird, and more queer

Theres a reason so many queer people love tf out of XLOV. Because they're queer!

It's a little bit funny how in the 1&Only recording bts Wumuti tells Haru you're an adult now you gotta be sexy give me you're best sexy voice and Harus like I've never been sexy before like girl have you seen yourself on stage

I dont think I've ever made a post about it but Haru was born to be on stage, like so born to be on stage bro was probably born on the stage like--

When Haru is on stage he embodies the performance to his core and puts on a show from his soul, he gets this very captivating and attractive (and sexy) look in his eye, and especially when he does dances w Rui cus they have so much chemistry together, but Haru really becomes a different person on stage, in the imma be recording bts Wumuti told Haru to sing like he was on stage too

I think all of them have very attractive on stage personas, but Haru baby diva that sexiness is in you, even if you dont do it on purpose
