Empire Ants

This video holds a very special place in my heart, because Hongjoong's cover of Numb helped me overcome the hazy grief emotions I felt every time I listened to my fave Linkin Park songs after we lost Chester. It also cemented my love of Ateez before I was even overly familiar with their discography. I'm a sentimental person, what can I say?

Many thanks to Anya for the caps! Check out her public caps over at samanyana.


( Now I'm on my own. I cannot take it no more. I'll become sharper and more keen and more ruined in your own way. )

Thanks for capping this music video for me, Anya! 💙 Y'all can check out her public caps over at samanyana.


( Hey, don't stop... )

Love the song, love the video, hate working with the video's colour grading. 😭 Actually, tbh, I hate working with any colour grading these days. So much effort for such a small payoff... But here's an attempt at making myself get back in the swing of things.

Major thanks go to samanyana for capping this for me. 💖


( Behind the growing whisper, an instinct I can’t hide wakes me up. )

I had to, in honour of my childhood idolization of Wednesday Addams. Also, y'know, this was a super easy set to icon because all you have to do to make monochrome look nice is brighten it a little. I can pretend I'm productive!

Screencaps by samanyana, who's a bit new to the "capping on IJ" game and totally deserves attention for the epic caps. ♥


( You severely underestimate my apathy. )
