by ichselbst

It always felt like there was a part missing in you. You always longed for it, dreamed of a magical Wonderland since your childhood in hopes of finding the missing piece of puzzle. There was always the thread flowing through the air, just there out of reach for you. Until one day when you met the rabbit on a party and got kidnapped into a world that was too smiliar from the one in your dreams.

Yandere K-Pop Songs

So, like I mentioned before, here’s a list of K-Pop songs that either scream ‘Yandere’ or that I associate with the trope. The list will probably grow as I discover new groups and new songs are released. I’d also just like to state that this is just my opinion and this is a playlist of sorts for others, as well as myself, to enjoy.

Starting with the intense / obvious ones:

1. Monster - EXO

2. Psycho - History

3. Danger - Taemin

4. Tempo - EXO

5. Stuck - Monsta X

6. Voodoo Doll - VIXX

7. What U - Speed

8. Growl - EXO

9. Stalker - U-Kiss

10. Overdose - EXO

11. Shadow - f(x)

12. Jealousy - Monsta X

13. Scentist - VIXX

14. Fantasy - VIXX

15. Tic Tic Tok - GOT7

16. Desperate - VIXX

17. She’s Gone - G-Dragon

18. Obsession - G-Dragon

19. K.O. - SF9

20. Yes or Yes - Twice

21. Orgel - SHINee

22. Fiancé - Mino

23. Enough - SF9

24. She’s Mine - VAV

25. Amazing Bad Lady - Cross Gene

26. She’s A Monster - GOT7

27. Dejavu - NU’EST W

28. So, Dangerous - UP10TION

29. Obsession - Boyfriend

30. Now Or Never - SF9

31. Be Quiet - Monsta X

32. Peek-A-Boo - Red Velvet

33. Pied Piper - BTS

34. Monster - Big Bang

35. Going Crazy - UP10TION

36. She Bad - MYTEEN

37. Alligator - Monsta X

38. BTD (Before The Dawn) - Infinite

39. I Want You - SHINee

40. Fake Love - BTS

41. Trespass - Monsta X

42. Mine - GOT7

43. Want - Taemin

44. Forever - EXO

45. Horololo - EXO-CBX

46. Bounce - Boyfriend

47. Play With Me - Cross Gene

48. Love Is? - Teen Top

And ending with the more subtle / based on how you want to interpret them ones.

Once again, this is just my opinion and songs I associate so far with the trope, many of the MVs contain dark themes / content so do not watch if squeamish in any way (especially the full version of Voodoo Doll). Also, some of the videos linked are the dance / performance versions since it’s a personal preference.

A summary of how people die (and don't) in swordfights

This is a really good article about how quickly people actually die from cuts and punctures inflicted by swords and knives.  However, it’s really really long and I figured that since I was summarizing for my own benefit I’d share it for anyone else who is writing fiction that involves hacking and slashing your villain(s) to death.  If you want the nitty gritty of the hows and whys of this, you can find it at the original source.

…even in the case of mortal wounds, pain may not reach levels of magnitude sufficient to incapacitate a determined swordsman.

Causes of death from stabs and cuts:

massive bleeding (exsanguination) - most common

air in the bloodstream (air embolism)

suffocation (asphyxia)

air in the chest cavity (pneumothorax)

infection

Stabbing vs cutting:

Stabbing someone actually takes very little force if you don’t hit bone or hard cartilage.

The most important factor in the ease of stabbing is the velocity of the blade at impact with the skin, followed by the sharpness of the blade.

Stabbing wounds tend to close after the weapon is withdrawn.

Stabbing wounds to muscles are not typically very damaging.  Damage increases with the width of the blade.

Cutting wounds are typically deepest at the site of initial impact and get shallower as force is transferred from the initial swing to pushing and pressing.

Cutting wounds have a huge number of factors that dictate how deep they are and how easily they damage someone: skill, radial velocity, mass of the blade, and the size of the initial impact.

Cutting wounds along the grain of musculature are not typically very damaging but cutting wounds across the grain can incapacitate.

Arteries vs veins:

Severed veins have almost zero blood pressure and sometimes even negative pressure.  They do not spurt but major veins can suck air in causing an air embolism.

Cutting or puncturing a vein is usually not fatal.

Severed arteries have high blood pressure.  The larger arteries do spurt and can often cause death due to exsanguination.

Body parts as targets:

Severing a jugular vein in the neck causes an air embolism and will make the victim collapse after one or two gasps for air.

Severing a carotid artery in the neck cuts off the blood supply to the brain but the victim may be conscious for up to thirty seconds.

Stabbing or cutting the neck also causes the victim to aspirate blood that causes asphyxiation and death.

Severing a major abdominal artery or vein would cause immediate collapse, but this takes a fairly heavy blade and a significant amount of effort because they are situated near the spine.

Abdominal wounds that only impact the organs can cause death but they do not immediately incapacitate.

Severing an artery in the interior of the upper arm causes exsanguination and death but does not immediately incapacitate.

Severing an artery in the palm side of the forearm causes exsanguination and death but does not immediately incapacitate.

Severing the femoral artery at a point just above and behind the knee is the best location.  Higher up the leg it is too well protected to easily hit.  This disables and will eventually kill the victim but does not immediately incapacitate.

Cutting across the muscles of the forearm can immediately end the opponent’s ability to hold their weapon.

Cutting across the palm side of the wrist causes immediate loss of ability to hold a weapon.

Stab wounds to the arm do not significantly impact the ability to wield a weapon or use it.

Cuts and stab wounds to the front and back of the legs generally do not do enough muscle damage to cause total loss of use of that leg.

Bone anywhere in the body can bend or otherwise disfigure a blade.

The brain can be stabbed fairly easily through the eyes, the temples, and the sinuses.  

Stabs to the brain are more often not incapacitating.

The lungs as targets:

Slicing into the lung stops that lung from functioning, but the other lung continues to function normally.  This also requires either luck to get between the ribs or a great deal of force to penetrate the ribs.

Stabbing the lung stops that lung from functioning, but the other lung continues to function normally.  It is significantly easier to stab between ribs than to slice.

It is possible to stab the victim from the side and pass through both lungs with an adequate length blade.  It is very unlikely that this will happen with a slicing hit.

“Death caused solely by pneumothorax is generally a slow process, occurring as much as several hours after the wound is inflicted.”

Lung punctures also typically involve the lung filling with blood, but this is a slow process.

The heart as a target:

I’m just going to quote this paragraph outright with a few omissions and formatting changes for clarity because it’s chock-full of good info:

…[stabbing] wounds to the heart the location, depth of penetration, blade width, and the presence or absence of cutting edges are important factors influencing a wounded duelist’s ability to continue a combat.

Large cuts that transect the heart may be expected to result in swift incapacitation…

…stab wounds, similar to those that might be inflicted by a thrust with a sword with a narrow, pointed blade may leave a mortally wounded victim capable of surprisingly athletic endeavors. 

Essentially, the heart can temporarily seal itself well enough to keep pressure up for a little while if it’s a simple stab.  The arteries around the heart, while they are smaller and harder to hit, actually cause incapacitation much more quickly.

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources
