Check my reblogs of this post to see the rest of them 😊 I'll add more if I ever make more etc,

I have finished my 28th book of the year 🧐

Guardian is the standalone sequel to Proxy. Proxy was all about the dystopian world of this horrible system that rich people can do whatever they want but when they mess up someone needs to pay the consequences so they have proxies from the poor districts take them be it physical punishment or manual labor etc. then Syd and the gang (Knox and Marie) do what they can to take it down blah blah

Let's talk about the finale of the series with Guardian. So Knox died, he gave his life so that Syd may live, the system of Proxies and data has been shut down and now the Reconciliation is in charge. This group makes a council, names their personal enforcers as purifiers and they build a new world of hope and free of this problematic system. All the rich people are in these camps to help learn to be better people. Syd is this poster child of hope and a status symbol of hope. However he doesn't want it, he has a bodyguard, Liam, who is supposed to protect him from threats but Syd is miserable and he hates doing all this stuff so he's constantly giving him the slip and it honestly gets annoying. Especially when Syd does get into actual trouble a few times and of course Liam isn't there readily to help, but when he does show up he saves the day but then the council yells at Liam for not doing his job and honestly Syd was just annoying fkfkfkf he would try to be like oh wait it's my fault but that's not how the council saw it. Like Syd just let Liam protect you. Marie became a purifier enforcer and a good one too.

In this universe Guardians were like these minions of the rich originally but now that system was shut down they became "nopes" as everyone calls them. They are just mindless and don't talk but then suddenly they start getting sick. Black veins, coughing blood the whole thing. The Council just kills them, since there's no cure currently which upsets Syd. They're still alive in a way and don't deserve to just be beaten to death.

Liam has a crush on Syd which is so cute, we love our positive Yaoi however at the same time Liam is a little ruthless as his bodyguard. He's got a metal arm, hello Edward Elric, he'll literally throw himself on a grenade for Syd, it does get a little intense at times. But idk it's also cute he's so protective of him. Cousin, as he is called, is like this evil manipulative creature, let's call him a creature because that's just how I picture him in my mind, and a doctor could have potentially worked on a cure was killed by Liam because Cousin told him lies and Liam would do whatever it is to protect Syd. But like 😭 fjfjfjfj after he killed her he found her book and was like oh 🥺 a book, written text, a rarity, let me give it to Syd, he'll like books. Gjgkgjgjgk it was cute, kinda crazy, but cute though idk fkfkfkfk

Listen I'm here for THIS type of toxic Yaoi not the Knox BS.

Literally trying hard NOT going back into the rant of why Knox is the worst but literally even up into the last chapter Syd remembers flashes of Knox and I will not be gaslit! I don't support Knox x Syd! I don't support y'all shipping them, I don't support this author trying to push me into believing that they were doomed romance, it will not work. Yes is Liam kinda toxic because he asked to purifiers to watch Syd while he was away and when he came back he killed those 2 because he didn't want anyone to know where Syd was hiding away....yes...but idc Liam has Syd's best intentions at heart even if he has scary piercing blue eyes 🧿👄🧿 like does Liam need Brown contacts desperately? YES! However I'll take killer boy with robot arm and blue eyes over Knox any day.

Again just because Knox learned from traveling with Syd and Marie on "how to be a better person" that doesn't erase all the horrible things you did your whole life, literally it's been a few days and I'm just to forgive and forget? No!

Liam is sweet he got him a book and it was cute 🥰

Also love the typical Yaoi moment of Liam realizing that with his brawn and Syd's brain they made a good team but then wondered what Marie, a girl, offered to the gang fkgkfkfkgk 😭 like damn

Anyways. Eventually Marie and Syd get sick, as does every other human, they try to find a cure, the cure is set the system back on. Cousin kills the Council and causes an uprising. Cousin and Liam are the only ones not sick because they were never part of the Proxy system so they remain immune.

The gang go to this gangs hideout, run by a little tyrant. Imagine my surprise to find the evil in their way of getting tech to reboot the system was like a 5th grader fkfkfkfk he had his gang of guards and made Syd and Liam fight which was very tough to read I won't lie, I felt nauseous.

The ending of the book was interesting and....idk how I felt. Like we did all that....for nothing.

The cure to reboot the system wasn't going to work and then we all go the camp where Marie's parents along with many others were only to find out that some of the "nopes" and people were getting better on their own. So like "natural selection" or whatever, the strong will survive the sickness? Idk how I feel about that, just feels like a odd way to end the plot. But Syd rested his head on Liam's shoulder and drifted to sleep, so I can only hope he'll wake up, feel better and live a nice gay life with this overprotective "if you look at him the wrong way I'll murder you in cold blood" boyfriend bodyguard.

Fiona was a 4 member group that debuted in 2015 and disbanded the following year. Apparently according to a official article the group was named after the Shrek character 👀 interesting.

The members were Miji, Gyuri, Eunji, Seoha.

The group debuted with I Don't Know, not to be confused with the mega hit by APink.

Their song, I Don't Know, has the generic nugu low budget synth beat paired with an overall cute feel. Very reject Girl's Day, back when they did cutesy songs. Song was decent enough, had some catchy "ooo woo oo" on the chorus.

Gone and easily forgotten but hey they still have 32 devoted monthly listeners on Spotify 👏 💐

If you're new here's the playlist with all the song recs 🧐

Below 👇 I included the YouTube music app audio for my fellow non Spotify users

So Rockit Girl (y'all still streaming Zombie?) nugu girl band has returned with a full length surprisingly!

Color me surprised! Though I believe she just packaged a lot of her singles from the past year into one album but let me refresh my mind since I don't really listen to her newer songs tbh I also don't think a lot of these were on streaming just a MV upload so 🧐 lets get into it

1. Hands Up : 👏 everybody clap! We love Kidz bop pop rock

2. VIP : okay this one has a little rocker edge! Her delivery on the track however is very silly "wa-hoooo" girl are you Mario? Fjfjfjfj it's a fine song I guess

3. Pink Pink Pop : this melody felt familiar idk 🤔 regardless, something about the funkytown guitar and her singing "pinky pinky pop~~" gets stuck in my head, however the rest of track is...idk it's campy in a weird way + nice (albeit simple) guitar solo, rock on girlie 💖

4. Pin Up Girl : okay now we're getting somewhere. A catchy tune you'd hear on a soundtrack of some movie, probably during a shopping spree 💖

5. Love Is : another fun girlie pop soundtrack song for a soft pop rock moment "my world dududu, your world dudud our world dududu" catchy 💖

6. Dreams come true (new version) : why you redoing this song girl? You took out the claps and made it a little more rock sounding but vocally 😔 listen Della was the better singer so while sonically this sounds cooler I'll stick with the old version because Della had the stronger vocals...damn wish Della on this version though...

7. Give Me Hug : we love some classy violins, very soft and sweet. Nice track, could picture this going hard at like a "special occasion" type of dance party 💖

8. Like : kinda has the cute 60s doowop pop rock feel 💖

9. We Want Each Other : pretty piano and strings that meshes well with the soft pop rock vibe of the band. The piano feels very city pop 🤔 a Yukika remix would kinda go hard, do you see the vision... 💖

10. With You : final track, forgettable and not interesting

So yeah I will say some of these tracks feel more interesting than I remembered I'll say that. Rockit Girl definitely lost their edge after Della left its hard not to see. However upon listening to these tracks with fresh ears I can say Leeseul can sometimes still put a catchy tune despite her weaker vocals, it's all in the matter of what the rest of the band is doing plus adding some pretty violins sometimes.
