ONLYONEOF — a crash course

[guide on google slides]

hello hello!! with onlyoneof’s underground idol project in full swing and a bunch of new lyons joining after ‘begin’ and 'be free,’ i thought now would be the perfect time to again update and re-post this little beginner’s guide i made for them back in 2021. perhaps you’ve seen me talk about them constantly on here or something else, but if you’re looking to get into ooo, this is just the thing for you <3

contains: a little intro about their concepts, brief profiles for the members, links to their discography, my picks from their videography, and select variety and interview clips!

feel free to share, let me know what you think, etc!!

and as always, many thanks to my lovely mutual rook (@20cm), whose wonderful tomorrow x together guide was The source of inspiration for this!!

some thoughts as a long-time queer chungking express enjoyer

while chungking express isn’t queer cinema (happy together is & shows up in other ooo work!) it explores failure and longing and alternative, socially “strange” forms of love that are familiar to queer people. in the second half of the movie, which is what begin adapts, faye wong’s character breaks into her love interest’s house and cleans his things for him, which we in a practical lens consider an invasion of privacy and stalking behavior, but in the world of heightened emotions we see it as her illicit expression of care and love for him, which he sees for what she intended it to be. they don’t “love” each other but he carries her basket of onions to work; they don’t “love” each other but she cleans his floors and replaces the broken and worn-out things in his life. she is committed to another dream; he is mired in his own post-breakup loneliness; they want to be with each other in an ill-defined way that is intimate but intentionally coy and uncertain because of other things left unfinished, other what-ifs and things that should be right.
