if you are still doing requests... would you please do knuckles with lance? <3
[ knuckles ] for a kiss on the hand with lance stroll.
the monaco casino was much more glamorous than you ever could have imagined. the place was decorated to the nines, glitter and gold, for some annual formula one hosted fundraiser. lance had invited you as his date, your first official outing together, and he’d really committed to making it a night to remember.
he’d bought your dress, one you insisted was far too expensive, and your shoes and whatever accessories you even glanced at. they’d been delivered to your hotel suite that morning, along with a bunch of flowers and a some chocolates. you spent most of the day getting ready, every so often receiving a “can’t wait to see you” text from lance.
and now you were standing just inside the lobby, having escaped the photographers outside, feeling terribly out of place amongst the social elite of monte carlo. lance was somewhere inside, with the rest of the drivers — they’d arrived earlier, needed for photographs. he was the only person you knew here. you’d met fernando once or twice, but that was about it.
most people were heading in one direction, so you followed them up the red velvet carpet towards the music. people passed by while you stood on top of the stairs, eyes scanning the room for one person only.
and then there he was. a dashing black suit, a crisp white suit, slicked back hair. he looked so handsome, you swore you’d never seen another man look so nice before. you caught the moment he spotted you, halting in the middle of a conversation with mick schumacher, everything slowing down as he took in the sight of you atop the stairs, golden light haloing around you.
“excuse me,” you saw him mutter, pushing past guests to get to you as quickly as he could. his hand clasped over his chest, eyes raking from your head to toe. for show, you gave a little spin, turning back just as he reached the step below you.
“hello,” you greet, shyly.
“you look… wow,” lance breathes out, somewhat caught in a trance. you were the picture of a dream, an angel appeared before him. reaching out, his fingers brush along your arm, tingling your skin. as soon as he reaches your hand, he grasps it gently. without his gaze ever leaving your own, he pulls your knuckles upward, to his lips, pressing an ever—lingering kiss to the skin there.
“can i ask for a dance with the prettiest girl in the room?” he asks, a cheeky smile pulling at his features. you laugh shakily, the nerves still wearing off, even though he was there now.
“maybe a drink first?” you ask, looping your arm in his.
“only the finest, for my lady.”

carnival ⸺ lando norris
warning : messy makeout
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
in the heart of monaco— the glitz and glamour of formula 1 races often overflow into the night, an extravagant after-party unfolded. the air hummed with excitement as the elite crowd flooded into the exclusive club, pulsating with vibrant lights and the rhythmic beats.
among the guests was kaia walker, an alluring woman with striking features who moved with effortless grace. her eyes, sparkling with intrigue, scanned the room until they landed on a familiar face: lando norris, the mclaren driver, who exuded charisma as he mingled with his fellow racers and famous celebrities.
kaia’s steps were deliberate as she made her way through the crowd, her gaze never wavering from lando’s causing their eyes to meet, and a subtle smile appearing on her lips as she approached him.
"hey there," she greeted him, her voice smooth and alluring over the music.
the brunette turned to face her, his expression lighting up with recognition. "well, hello. fancy seeing you here," he replied, his english charm evident in his voice.
she chuckled softly, the sound carrying over the lively atmosphere. "couldn’t resist the allure of monaco’s nightlife," she quipped, her tone playful.
soon, their conversation began to flow effortlessly, each word accompanied by laughter and shared glances that hinted at an undeniable chemistry. kaia found herself in a trance with lando, brown eyes locked on his grey ones that seemed to change based on the recent pictures of him on the internet.
eventually, the pulsating energy of the club which beckoned the pair to the dance floor, where they began to move in perfect synchrony to the infectious rhythm of the music. both bodies pressed together as kaia danced closely into him, arms up while one of lando’s gripped on her waist, a smile plastered on his face as he watched her.
kaia found herself opening her eyes open to gaze into his, a deep desire flooding her system as she leaned close into him until their lips collided with one another.
a groan emitting from lando as they deepened the kiss, lando’s solid hands found their place on her waist, fingers brushing the soft fabric of her dress while kaia’s heart raced in her chest as she responded to his touch, her delicate fingers threading through the tousled strands of his hair. 
her body fitting perfectly against his, with his arms enveloped her in a protective embrace, drawing her closer as if he never wanted to let go. the warmth of his touch seeped into her skin, igniting a fire that blazed within her.
fingertips grazing the nape of his neck, then gently threaded through the strands of his hair, gripping them as if to anchor herself in the heady moment.
lando’s hands tightened their hold on her waist, drawing her infinitesimally closer.
kaia’s lips, soft and slightly parted, moved in tandem until lando’s tongue, daring, traced the seam of her lips before seeking entrance, a silent request that she granted with a soft, involuntary sigh. their tongues meeting in a dance.
once the kiss finally broke, kaia’s lips, rosy and slightly swollen, as lando gazed down at her.
his hands slowly moving from her waist to her thighs, and he tightened his grip on one subconsciously causing her to gasp softly, grabbing onto his arm.
“let’s take this somewhere.. private..” she murmured to him, starting to lead him out the nightclub as lando couldn’t but grin widely.
“lead the way, beautiful.” he simply stated to her, happy to be dragged away and to somewhere private where he can worship her properly.

playing piano w/ Charles 🎹
You were playing piano in your music room . Tonight , your parents threw a party with Monaco’s elites , which included the Leclerc’s.
Overall you liked them . All but one.
No one got on your nerves more than Charles Leclerc. Ever since you were kids he made it his life mission to annoy you and destroy every single one of your achievements.
And now that he was the great f1 driver for Ferrari everyone was kissing his ass .
So you escaped into the music room your parents built for you when you were little.
Smoothing your gown , you sat down on the piano bench and began playing “Comptine d’un autre été” by Yann Tiersen .
I was one of your favorite songs . It was so passionate and delivered so much emotion.
Also , it was the one song Charles would always mess up . He could never finish it without at least a small mistake. So of course , you loved to feeling of finishing it perfectly.
You begin playing , feeling the smooth keys under your delicate fingers . The song filled you up with happiness and calmness.
Unbeknownst to you , you had a spectator.
When you slipped away from the party , Charles followed you all the way to the music room .
Since then he’s been entranced by you playing. He hasn’t moved an inch away from the door way , as to not disturb you.
Halfway through the song , you heard the floor squeak . Turning around , you saw the older Leclerc in the door way . He was watching you intently.
“What do you want ?” You were exhausted of always trying to one up him . If he needed to step on you just to make himself feel better then so be it . You were done playing his games.
Leaning on the door , he looks straight into your eyes “Nothing , keep playing”
Not accepting his what you assumed to be invite to bicker , you faced again the piano and resumed playing right where you left off.
After finishing your song , just as you were about to turn around to see if Charles was still there you felt two hands on your waist , pushing you a bit further the piano bench.
The monegasque sat right behind you , his legs closing around yours. His hands remained on your waist , hugging you close , while his head rested in the crook of your neck.
“Play me something else” he breathed against your neck.
You sucked in a sharp breath , unused to his proximity “why ?”
It was Charles’s turn to breathe in , your soft perfume engulfing his senses “I enjoy hearing you play love”
‘Love’ , since when did he began calling you ‘love’
Charles sensed your hesitation . He pulled you closer , pressing a chaste kiss to your cheek .
“Please” he begged in your ear.
Like out of a trance , you began playing “Für Elise” , the first ever song you learned at the piano. Charles knew it as well.
He let you play alone for a few minutes before gently placing his hands onto yours and playing with you.
In that moment , in that tiny moment, you didn’t hate Charles Marc Herve Perceval Leclerc.

An Orchestra of Traditional Music in Vietnam
Vietnamese Culture Demystified!
Exploring the local culture and customs is a part and parcel of every holiday, particularly if your destination is Vietnam. As the cultural delta of Southeast Asia, it's necessary to immerse oneself in the grand culture Vietnam has amassed, truly enriching your travel experience and take back much more than just travelgram pictures. More importantly, it shows that you're more than just a tourist, making you a traveller who is sensitive to local beliefs.
Here's everything about Vietnamese culture to get you started on your South Asian extravaganza:
Performing Arts:
Music in Vietnamese Culture
The Vietnamese have always held music close to their hearts. It is highly diverse and heavily influenced by China, and to a lesser extent South Korea, Mongolia, Japan and the former Indochina Kingdom of Champa. There are close to 50 national music instruments in the country, with percussion instruments being the most popular, followed by wind instruments and string intruments. Traditional music in Vietnam can be divided into two genres: Imperial Court Music and Folk Music.
Imperial Court Music, as the name suggests, was performed in the palaces of Tran and Nguyen dynasties. The songs were mainly about wishing the king and his kingdom longevity and prosperity. There were also songs composed in honour of gods and scholars such as Confucius, that were sung in temples and sometimes the King's chambers. These have been divided into three categories:  Nhã Nhac ("elegant music", ritual and ceremonial music), Dai Nhac ("great music"), and Tieu Nhac ("small music")
Tumblr media
Folk music has a richer history and is woven into the everyday lives of the Vietnamese. Some of the more popular forms are the Chèo, Quan Ho, Hát Chau Van, Ca Trù, Hò, and Hát Xam. Quan Ho and Ho are courtship songs sung acapella in northern and southern provinces of Vietnam respectively. Hat Xam was performed by blind artists who travelled from place to place singing, somewhat like the bards of the west. This form of music has diminished and is rarely heard nowadays. The more popular traditions of folk music are Hat Chau Van and Ca Tru, both of which have emerged from under the repression of the colonial government. The former is sung to invoke spirits during religious ceremonies and is trance-oriented, while conversely, the latter is sung by women for the powerful and elite men, a geisha-style of entertainment in a way.
Tumblr media
A Ca Trù Performance in Vietnam
Nhac dân toc cai biên is a relatively recent addition to the music scene, and has garnered mass appeal in Vietnam. It incorporates western elements such as harmony to traditional music, a fusion of the east and the west.

Rebels Rewatch: "Flight Of The Defender"
We go for a fly and a ride, and the ancient guardians of Lothal awaken.
Live reaction version.
Tumblr media
KITTIES! :DDDDDD
Tumblr media
We're revisiting allll the familiar locations this season aren't we?
The bright bouncy tones of the opening cue and this particular area of Lothal still looking relatively pristine and untouched are bit of a mood whiplash from last episode. (But then of course the Empire can't have mining crawlers getting too close to its landing strips, the smoke would interfere with pilots' visuals.)
It's vaguely implied that Ezra connects with these Loth-cats, possibly even calls them? They're immediately eager to help when the Rebels need a distraction and it's definitely possible they read Ezra's intentions and were like, "HELP FRIEND."
"The Empire has been fortifying their anti-aircraft defenses." Ha ha yeah you run afoul of those later don't you?
"And there are some new fuel tanks near the factory." *SOBS ENDLESSLY*
Also:
Tumblr media
This contrast is immediately horrible. "Zero Hour" was three weeks from the start of this season. "In The Name Of The Rebellion" a couple days out from their victory at Mandalore. It's not clear how much time elapsed between then and "The Occupation" but it can't have been too long, Ezra was already agitated about Lothal after parting with Saw and his words still seem fresh on his mind in "The Occupation". (And as a side comment, I love how deeply connected to Lothal Ezra is, that he could sense the danger Ryder's group was in across that distance.)
This complete burnishing of the grasslands happened within a few weeks to a couple months.
I noted in my original liveblog that Ezra uses "Phoenix 6" randomly here, instead of the usual "Spectre 6", that Hera also calls him. I'm still confused about if that was a mistake or not or if they use the callsigns interchangeably.
I cannot emphasize enough how well they portray the TIE Defender Elite here. It is so fast, so maneuverable, they manage to make it move like a fighter jet. It never looks clunky or unwieldy, just sleek and quick and able to turn seamlessly on a dime.
Tumblr media
And predictably my ship will be spending a lot of quality time together this episode, as Ezra immediately assigns himself to come with Sabine onto the dangerous Imperial-filled airstrip. <3
Yeah no I think Ezra definitely connected with the Loth-cats prior to this and they decided they liked him enough to volunteer. He didn't specifically call them or influence them but I like the idea that he's just... open enough in the Force to them right now, so connected to Lothal itself, that they became his allies anyway.
Possibly it was this general openness that called the Loth-wolf to him too.
Anyway, let this be a lesson to never antagonize the cats. Or any of the local wildlife for that matter.
Snippets of the Imperial March as the shuttle sets down, and then a couple blaring notes recalling "Thrawn's Web". Something interesting musically I've touched upon in my commentary but I'm reminded of again hearing this: Thrawn is nearly always musically represented in the score with organs. The organ is an instrument we basically never hear in the Rebels score until Thrawn enters the picture, so any time you hear the hint of an organ note, you can immediately recognize Thrawn's presence.
Aaaaaand there's "Thrawn's Web" playing out more fully.
There's an interesting chime here that plays when the wolf first catches Ezra's eye, it's overlaid by strings and synths and the little vertigo effect the camera uses on Ezra and the way the music abruptly cuts out when Ezra's discovered almost makes it seem like the wolf drew him into some kind of brief trance.
Tumblr media
My son just rolls with it, decides to absolutely embrace the chaos he's capable of generating, love it.
"Well Ezra, you certainly got their attention." "I'M GLAD THIS IS WORKING FOR YOU!" I laugh every time I swear, lololol.
I remarked on it before but this is a lovely use of the environment. I love when action setpieces do that. This whole sequence is just such a lovely demonstration of Ezra's skill and competence. <3
And the little shit has the audacity to casually "Hey!" Thrawn, I love him so much.
Ooof with how Ezra ordered Zeb and Ryder to leave with the info and how he told Sabine to get out I think he may have possibly been planning some kind of Jedi self-sacrifice? In which case ow my heart.
This bit here where Thrawn stands unflinchingly in front of the oncoming TIE Defender is a visual reference to a shot from the movie Patton I'm pretty sure. Fitting, as it's German general Erwin Rommel, who clashed with the titular General Patton in the WWII theater, that was one of the inspirations behind Thrawn.
Aaaaaand there's Thrawn sacrificing pilots to prove a point again. Ngl, he's one of the better Imperial commanders to work under but you still get a raw deal if you're too low-ranking, the man will throw you like a meat shield at his enemy to test their mettle and be completely unconcerned when you die.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ezra: *tells Sabine to hang on*
Sabine: *literally clings to the back of his chair*
Also, do note the sonic boom. The Defender Elite is supersonic.
Oh, this shot where the Defender just threads the gap between two stone pillars? *chef's kiss*
Tumblr media
Even Ezra looks a little stunned by how maneuverable the thing is.
Think I noted it before but Sabine sounds really stressed about the kill switch. 'course she experienced it firsthand.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Their banter this episode is amazing I love it.
Tumblr media
Hera looks really worried here. Given that her two youngest Spectres were (essentially) kidnapped and taken off into the unknown by Saw just recently maybe it's warranted.
Tumblr media
Yeah uh, y'all were never going to make it far enough away from the crash site lugging that thing. Hiding it was a way better plan.
Subtle animation appreciation moment: The mist drifting over the ground here.
Tumblr media
Sabine not seeing the Loth-cat we can maybe chalk up to her just not seeing it, because unlike the wolf the cat is definitely an animal that normies can see. (Ryder in "Legacy", for example.)
Another semi-random musical score note: Snare drums are used primarily for the Empire, probably owing to their usage in militaries and marching bands. Hear a snare drum in the score? Audio shorthand for the Empire.
Tumblr media
"Ezra and Sabine have each other. They'll find their way home." Kanan says, to comfort a worrying Hera, and I awwww.
Tumblr media
Ezra continually getting distracted by the Loth-wolf reminds me of how his attention kept drifting with the purrgil.
Tumblr media
Sabine's barely able to help him keep focused lol.
Of course Sabine remembers the wolves from the artwork of them, ha ha.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
YEAH NO THAT'S NOT A SIGHT I'D BE COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE WITH EITHER.
The Loth-wolves as a concept are pretty basic but also not quite fully explained. We know they're guardians over Lothal and strongly connected to the Force, motivated to protect it from the Empire in general and Palpatine's machinations with the WBW in particular. But the show also kind of just lets them... do things and doesn't explain them.
Like I'm still not entirely clear on why this wolf had to knock Sabine out with a sleep suggestion. Is it that they're not quite ready to reveal themselves to the mortals yet?
Despite doing so literally the next day?
IDK whatever the motivation it did provide me with these lovely bits:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The fearful warble in his voice when he asks, "What did you do to her?!" How he reaches for his lightsaber and doesn't let go of it until the cat appears and the wolf clearly shows it's aligned with it through the little ear wiggles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
How even though the wolf has tentatively gained his trust he's still all *anxious noises* about it handling her. (Watch how many times he looks back and forth from the wolf to Sabine.)
And they way he is so gentle and careful with Sabine, handling her so tenderly this whole ride.
Tumblr media
There's something kind of Miyezakian about this cue in the score, it sounds reminiscent of the theme from Princess Mononoke. (Which I'm pretty sure must have imprinted on Filoni as a wee mini young'un to inspire his lifelong wolf obsession.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*side eyes the writers*
*whispers* If no supposed to ship... *gestures inarticulately*
Kanan believes Ezra about the wolf though, even if he gets all weird and cryptic about it. Frankly I think the "All paths are coming together now." line maaaaay have just been inserted in this scene for trailer purposes lol. It does seem a little out of place.
Another solid entry. The animation is beautiful, the fur on the Loth-wolf is a vast technical improvement from the wookies all the way back in the pilot, with several individual tufts and segments operating independently to move more naturally around the animal's body. The design is basic, just a normal wolf shape with the tooka chicken feet and scaley foreheads, but solid.
Thrawn remains unflappably intimidating. Pryce continues to prove the more hotheaded of the two, which will come back to bite her hard this season.
Aaaaaaaand of course Ezra and Sabine have the most adorable interactions this episode. From the sharply-written banter to their genuine concern for each other, to Ezra's absolutely tender cradling her for the duration of the midnight wolf ride. I was spoiled and I enjoyed it, sue me.
I do maybe wish we could have had a bit more explanation behind the Loth-wolves instead of having them be mysterious for the sake mystery but that's about it.

Jack-IN-The-Box
Summary: High School was a pain, but now it’s time for the next chapter… College. Except this time, what happens when packing up for the dorms, you come across an old childhood toy? Memories say inside the box held a friend—But what are you worried about, right? It’s in the past, a child’s imagination.
WRONG! Innocent eyes see farther toward the unknown… But sometimes, the unknown can see you too.
~Pairing: Jung Hoseok (BTS) | Yandere/J-Hope x f! Reader
~Genre: Yandere au, Imaginary/Monster au, Angst & Mystery
~Word Count: 3.7K
**Warnings: Hallucinations and slight blood.**
Tumblr media
“Okay… This is the last of them,” You grunted, huffing to a complete stop and gently stacking packed boxes that held your things, inside the moving truck—Today was the day, you’d be finally moving out and heading off to college in the big city on your own.
A smile stretched across your face when remembering the exact date you’ve got accepted into the most elite Academy: HYBE University of Music & Arts. It was said for this school to be the best in the world, campuses spreading across Korea, Japan, and even America… A place known for their different departments and diversities. Somewhere to be proud on doing what you love, without judgement or someone telling you it’s a waste of space and time.
Honestly, it was an artist’s dream and fantasy to study there! Especially when the campus is private and only takes chances on ones who they believe have potential—It didn’t matter if they were in the music, art, dancing, or acting industry.
Walking inside the house, the need filling you to double check once more to make sure the bedroom was completely empty, and nothing was getting left behind. Sighing in content and sadness when seeing nothing but furniture, looking bare as a guest room.
Little sniffles were heard from behind, as if someone was softly crying that had you turning around to see an older women standing near the door with clear tears shining in her eyes. A single hand over her mouth in a sobbing moment while scanning the room that use to belong to one of her two children.
“Eomma… You promised not to cry,” You whined, eyes narrowing playfully in her general direction. Although there was no use trying, you knew this was a losing battle before it begun… Your mother waving off the comment with a light glare that didn’t have much edge to it.
“Oh hush, I’m allowed to cry! My baby is leaving me, and in a few years, Jihun will do the same,” She said, wiping her tears in a dramatic way that you couldn’t help the eye roll from escaping—Your little brother… Jihun L/N. While you’ll be leaving for college, he’ll be starting his sophomore year. The time passed so fast that it was starting to scare you… Especially when the days go faster the more your older.
“Well, there’s always a possibility Ji will decide never to leave and stay here forever,” You teased, a grin forming at your mom’s scrunched up expression. Sadness immediately fallin’, rather forming into something more horrified at the idea.
“Don’t even joke like that!” She shouted, only for her eyes to soften the longer she gazed upon your delicate features. The women entering further into the bedroom to place a single hand on your cheek with a proud smile, wanting to remember this moment before you leave for the city—Knowing there won’t be a time you visit until Christmas, or longer.
Although the peaceful atmosphere was cut short, your right hand resting on her own… Eyes instantly zooming in on a visible scar. A scar that could be seen at a certain angle from your inner wrist—The women who raised and gave birth to you, flinched from your proximity as her expression turned cold.
It was like she was in a trance of sorts the longer the stare, deep in her memories.
Honestly, you actually didn’t know how the scar came to be… Not being able to remember much past your fourteenth birthday, and it’s not like anyone would tell you. Though from your family’s glazed out expression whenever seeing the slightly pink and scared flash, you could tell it was something they must’ve blamed themselves for—The scar, however, didn’t bother you as much as it did for them; being shaped almost like an “H”.
You’d always joke around, saying it represented hope for the future. Yet, your mother would instantly shut seeing the smiles fade and disappear from your parent’s faces whenever mentioned—Now, even your cousins refused to spend time with you… The only ones that seemed to be left in the dark was Jihun and yourself.
“You’re father…” She trailed, and if the room wasn’t so eerily quiet… You wouldn’t have been able to hear from how faint the tone was. Your mom seemingly snapping out of it, forcing a bright smile and quickly stepping back outside the bedroom as if it brought a sort of trauma to her now. “You’re father and brother will be following you from behind so they can help unpack boxes when arriving at the campus—Don’t forget your last box sweetie!”
Last box? But you…
Glancing around the room with a frown, you froze seeing a box sticking out slightly from underneath the bed. Confusion settling in at the sight—You were sure all the boxes were packed and downstairs in the moving truck. In fact, it wasn’t there before... Was it?
Shaking your head to rid of the paranoid thoughts, you knelt down and tried pulling the box out from its hiding spot. Curses leaving your lips when having a difficult time—It was like the damn thing didn’t want to leave!
“Argh… You stupid box, stop being so stubborn!!” You growled, yelping seconds later when tumbling backward into the dresser with a groan. Not expecting the box to give little resistance, the force causing it to slide across the floor until coming to a complete stop.
Rubbing your head and glaring in the direction of the cardboard box—You’ve noticed that it was pretty worn out to begin with, surprised filling you that it even managed to hold together in the first place. Although it was the pictures that caught your attention the most.
The box was practically covered in detailed drawings of chalk and crayon, some colorful and others just straight up… Unnerving.
Especially one that was a sloppy picture of a tiny figure, nothing but black with what appeared to be bunny ears on top of its head. Something about the drawing gave you chills—This definitely wasn’t one of your recently packed boxes.
Biting your lip and standing up, you picked up the box to head downstairs, dropping it on the coffee table before going to fetch a pair of scissors in one of the junk drawers. Immediately cutting the flaps open that was practically covered in duct tape… You didn’t know what to expect inside, but anticipation and excitement built up anyways. Only for those emotions to flatline when peering inside to see nothing but old junk.
A single hand reaching for a black worn-out bear with bunny ears that appeared to have a skeleton design for a body, an eye was missing and instead having an “X” marking stitch where the other white button should’ve been—Actually it was pretty cute, not scary then you would’ve thought for a toddler.
“Y/N! Get your lazy ass outside, appa is waiting and… What’s that? Aren’t you a little too old for stuffed animals?” Jihun shouted throughout the house, stopping mid-sentence seeing the bear/bunny still in your hand. Raising a single eyebrow and smirk breaking through, not bothering to conceal his laughter as you rolled your eyes.
“Shut up, this was the only thing left in my room that I found. Looks like old toys… Funnily enough, I can’t remember playing with any of these,” You said, putting the teddy down, nose scrunched up when reaching to pull out a dry-erase board and throwing it to the side with disinterest—Most of the toys contained dried up markers or clay, but Jihun did take interest in a rubric cube while rummaging through the box.
“Hey, weren’t you like… I don’t know, obsessed with this growing up?” Jihun said, lifting out and showing a steel tinplate box that was white/black with a bunch of doodles that appeared to look like someone wrote on it with permanent marker.
“Yeah… I mean, I think so?” You whispered, not realizing how you pulled—yanked—the object out of your brother’s hands. Observing the toy in a trance state, unconsciously shaking it but only hearing slight thumping and gears banging together.
A Jack-In-the-Box… You couldn’t remember anything from your childhood past, but there was this foggy piece of a memory surfacing. Little flashes of a younger version carrying the toy everywhere: Grandparent’s house, vacation, sleepovers, even something ridiculous as putting it outside the bathroom door for the box to “guard” you.
It didn’t matter where or how weird you appeared; the toy never once left your side… Until it did.
“If I remember correctly, you were convinced there was a boy living in there. Even gave him a name, I think it was Hopie, Hope? Or maybe it was Jay…” Jihun trailed, shrugging and snickering at the time his older sister acted more childish than he was whenever it concerned her imaginary friend. “Whatever it was, you’d talk to it all the time and would even stuff sandwiches inside. I’m surprised its clean from how much food you shared with the damn toy.”
“Hmm, none of that rings a bell,” You said, lips pursing to try and process this new piece of information. Fingers tracing along the box until finally reaching the handle that has yet to be turned—A single key barely playin’ before a glass shattered across the floor echoed throughout the room. The startling and loud sound causing you to accidently drop the toy with a clank, two jumping in fright.
There, your mother stood, glass surrounding her shoe covered feet… Facial expression twisted funny, almost fearful? It was such an odd reaction, especially when she refused to say nothing and preferred to stand like a statue. Blank eyes not once taking off the Jack-In-the-Box, almost like your mom was waiting for something to happen as it laid there.
Preparing for an action that was impossible for it to take by itself.
“Eomma…?”
“W-Where… Where did you get that?” It was faint, but there was more emotion inside than you’ve ever heard. Your mother practically trembling from head to toe.
“Uh, from this box… It seems to mostly have childhood toys and a few coloring books,” You explained, shaking the box that still held a few things inside. Jihun and you shifting nervously, voice low and calm to not startle her any further. Cautiously watching your mother curse underneath her breath, in fact, you could’ve sworn hearing that she said something about having thrown it away a long time ago?
“Y-You’re not,” She trailed, taking a deep breath in to steady her beating heart, “You’re not keeping it are you?”
“No, I wasn’t planning on it—I was actually considering donating and throwing some of these items away. Though this bear is cute, I might keep this,” You said, humming in thought at the skeleton bunny/bear… You never could resist stuffed animals, even being an adult. Though a scoff ringing through the air had you glaring, throwing anything your hands could grab toward the culprit… Grinning in satisfaction when hearing Jihun hiss.
“Alright, then why don’t I take these old things out of your hands… Don’t wanna keep your father and the movers waiting more than they have, right?”
Frowning, you nodded while Jihun helped throw all the old toys back into the box… Along with the Jack-In-the-Box. The only thing that wasn’t inside was the stuffed animal that you planned to keep, although something inside was hesitant to hand over the old toys to your mother.
You didn’t know why—There was this pit in your gut, especially when seeing an unusual smile upon your mom’s face.
Something just felt… off.
Whatever the case was, you glanced one last time at the cardboard box that wasn’t properly closed anymore before finally releasing it as your mother beamed. The older women not wasting time to walk out the back door where a giant dumpster was waiting in the alleyway behind the neighborhood.
~
“What dormitory is yours?” Your father questioned, frowning at the multiple signs pointing in different directions. Although you were too busy aweing the large campus, doing a little happy dance after coming back from the main office with your ID badge, dorm key, and class schedule in your bag—Coming back to reality when hearing fingers snapping.
“Oh! Uh, I believe it’s this way… Between the PLEDIS and SOOP dormitories—Just look for a sign that says BigHit on it,” You muttered, trying to balance between holding your schedule and the map of the campus, roughly tugging suitcases along.
“Aha! This is it,” You cheered, stumbling toward the door and nearly dropping everything to open it.
Except… The door wouldn’t budge, no matter how many times you pulled and pushed against it.
You didn’t know how long you’ve been standing there, practically shaking the glass doors until a sudden cough grabbed your attention. Wincing to turn and see a tall figure pulling down his medical mask, the random male gently smiling and showing off his dimples.
A single hand reaching into his hoodie to unhook an ID badge from a keychain-styled necklace, swiping a boxed security system until a click was heard as the lightbulb blinked green. Your cheeks burned in embarrassment when seeing him hold open the door for you and everyone else to get inside before taking off down the halls until out of sight.
“You didn’t mention these dorms were not Co-ed,” Your father commented, breaking the silence with a grumpy tone. Jihun biting his tongue to keep himself together, trying not to full-blown laugh or else the boxes he was carrying would tumble down.
Huffing, you didn’t say a single word and instead choose to rush down the hall where an elevator was located—Your dorm number being on the top floor.
The halls were completely quiet, no one in sight… Either from it being late in the afternoon or because it was the last weekend before class officially begun. You didn’t know.
“Woah…”
“I don’t remember dorms being this nice.”
Your father and brother whistled when entering the dorm, even the movers seemed impressed at the modern styled dorm. Honestly, it looked more like a mini apartment than a dorm… A really expensive miniature apartment.
Shock clear on your face when glancing around—HYBE was definitely not playing around.
The first walk inside was through a small and narrow hall… Further up in the main room, the first thing you’ve noticed was a small kitchen on the right side. Imported with cabinets, a sink, miniature refrigerator/freezer, and a microwave—Although there wasn’t a stove/oven or even a bathroom… Needing to go somewhere in the dormitory building for that.
But it did have a small living room with two black sofas that were facing toward a flatscreen. Although what amazed you the most was the window view… Behind the living room, floor-to-ceiling windows showed a generous amount of the campus ground.
Now that you thought about it… You may have gotten a full-ride scholarship, but that only covered so much—How much was this dorm styled-apartment?! The possible price had you paling considerably.
There was no doubt, you needed a job. Thankfully you also requested a roommate first hand too, however from how empty and quiet it was, they haven’t arrived just yet—Humming, you instructed where to put all the boxes as your family and the movers finally bid their farewells.
The best thing about coming first before your roommate… You get to pick the best room first! Not wasting time to unpack your things and spread them out in the new bedroom.
By the time you were finished, it was already dark outside, and your stomach was grumbling for food—Sighing, you walked out the bedroom with an empty box only to shriek, tripping over something that had you falling against the floor with a groan.
Hisses escaping, glancing toward your feet only to freeze in fear… The Jack-In-the-Box toy was sitting there. In fact, it didn’t seem like tripping against the toy fazed it at all, standing upward perfectly and not thrown into a mess—What was this doing here? M-Maybe Jihun snuck it in your boxes to be a jerk… but that wouldn’t explain why it’s on the floor.
Nervous, you reached the counter and rummaged throughout the bag for your cellphone. Getting ready to lecture your brother, only for the number to immediately go to voicemail.
“O-Okay… It’s fine. You’re just overthinking this,” You whispered, trying to motivative yourself for positive thinking. Gently picking up the toy, fingers hesitantly touching the handle before turning it as the melody echoed throughout the dorm. The sound creeped into your heart, needing to constantly be looking around… Swearing to hear breathing every time the handle was turned.
Suddenly the door slammed open just as the Jack-In-the-Box popped, the two actions causing you to let out a blood curling scream and drop the toy.
“Holy shit, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to startle you,” A female voice said, worry and concern etched on her face as you stared at the popped open black/white doll with a mint-green jester hat—You felt foolish… Letting your brothers stories get to your head. What the hell did you expect?
“N-No… I’m sorry—You must be my roommate. Names Y/N,” You said, wiping sweaty hands against your hoodie before reaching out to shake her hand with a polite and tight smile. Unconsciously kicking the Jack-In-the-Box aside to hide among the empty cardboard boxes.
“Ji-eun!”
“Well, I’ll let you get started unpacking… I’m going to go throw these empty boxes away and get food. Do you want anything?” You asked, listening to the order while secretly placing the toy inside the old boxes without closing it properly. Gathering a bunch of boxes and snatching your bag from the counter, waving bye and leaving in a rush to throw the trash away.
“Y/N…”
Your breath hitched hearing an unfamiliar voice call out for you, slowly turning around to see no one in the hall—It was probably nothing… Yeah, nothing. Inhaling sharply, you resumed the walk toward the elevator. Speeding up once the lights started flicking, it felt like a horror film, but this was reality—Reality you were just overwhelmed about being in the big city, that had to be—
“Noona… Come out and play with me~”
 This time, you didn’t hesitate to run… Reality or not.
“You wanna play tag? I’ll be it then~” Screams bounced off the walls feeling a tug on your ankle, tripping you in the process. Refusing to turn around, you scrambled up as the elevator felt like it was growing farther… The walls starting to twist and turn.
The only thing that was ringing—beside your beating heart and ragged breathing—was the familiar tune of the Jack-In-the-Box. You didn’t know how no one was hearing your pleas for help… Fear crippling your ability to do anything but run.
However as soon as you got closer toward the elevator, a sudden force gripped your shoulder causing you to cry out… Feeling nails dig deeper until your whole back felt like it was getting wet as red paint dripped to the floor beneath. While bite marks appeared near your inner wrists with scratches…
Only then were you literally thrown into the opening elevator. Vision blurry from the rough impact as you focused on the hallway… Eyes widening in fear seeing a dark silhouette practically glowing, the figure getting closer as each time the lights flickered—A thumping noise beating around, in fact, you didn’t think the figure was gaining closer steps.
It was more like the entire hallway was shrinking and coming forward.
“W-What do you want?!” You shrieked, a blood curdling cry coming out your mouth… Tucking yourself into a fetal position with tears streaming down. Feeling a forceful blow of wind, light breathing brushing against your neck as what felt like lips grazed your ear.
“You~”
“…hey…”
“…You… are?”
“Hey… Are you okay?”
Eyes snapped open feeling a soft touch shaking you, slowly looking up with a startled expression to see a kind face staring at you in concern—It was then you realized how many people were outside their own dorms with different types of expressions as you laid upon the floor outside the elevator.
Everything was back to normal… In fact, there was no evidence that what just happened was real.
Throwing your hoodie up to shield yourself from the many judgmental and worried faces, you jumped up and started running back to your dorm with tears. Not bothering with the cardboard boxes that laid there, only grabbing your bag.
Slamming open the dorm, you made sure to double lock it… Everything was quiet and dark, figuring your roommate must’ve gone to sleep since you didn’t know long you’ve been in the hallway. It all felt too much, practically barricading yourself into the bedroom and crawling into the bed to hide away, maybe forever.
And it wasn’t long before sleep welcomed you…
00:00 (Zero O’Clock)
…The closet slid open with a creak, the same familiar jingle echoing throughout the bedroom but not being able to reach your ears. As a tall figure stepped out with a dancers grace… Glowing eyes narrowing at the lump in the bed before a grin broke out—A grin that was more threatening than nice, something you’d fear instead of love.
The male wore nothing but black, his bunny/jester ears bouncing with every step as he silently crept closer. A single bloody hand reaching to pull down the covers until a known scar was visible, reaching into their pocket to pull out a small blade… Finishing off their work as you hissed in your sleep, blood dripping down your wrist.
Immediately leaning back when done with the completed word—Hoseok.
A sharp smiling breaking out, eyes darkening into a sinister and affectionate way. Hoseok leaning down to lick the extra blood trail, before kissing the wrist lightly.
“Welcome home, my sunshine… I’ve missed you.”

jesus h. christ! i tried to do a teeny bit of research just to see if i'm using the term "vaporwave" correctly and i've gotten sucked into possibly my next deep dive interest. anyways here's my very limited, very uneducated recap of what kinds of ... electronic music, to use the most vague blanket term i can possibly use, so far. maybe when i learn some more i'll do an update!
my first introduction to these genres was through chillhop/lofi streams on youtube. according to this video which i used to try and get some more clarity (lol) some lofi / late night hiphop is under the blanket of vaporwave, but not all of it. anyways i would say that this is probably quite a distant genre and being very, very lo-fi, i'm just mentioning it to say that it's a good gateway drug.
from there i delved into citypop and future funk, which is in fact a vaporwave subgenre. this is nostalgic, retro-futuristic japanese 80s pop or music that uses samples of it. i really liked studying with it on in the background and it's nice for early mornings to put you in a good mood. youtube has tons of compilations of these too, my favorites are probably x, x, or x. (i think the first one is the artist city girl, which is probably technically vhs pop?)
after that, i tried to get into proper vaporwave, and i found this list (it's my bible, idk where i found it, i think i compiled it from various sources, but it's saved on my work computer lol so i don't have it handy.) anyways it started me out with what i think is technically just hypnagogic pop which is not a vaporwave subgenre but is probably actually the parent genre... or it's interchangeable. wtf.
some of my absolute favorite artists so far have been luxury elite, windows 96, and death's dynamic shroud. i think windows 96 is proper hypnagogic pop/hypnagogic drift as it is very hypnotizing and tranquil. it feels like a trance or a dream like state, or like your brain has been taken out and massaged with warm water. fave songs: x, x
luxury elite definitely has some influences with like a utopian virtual genre, it's very lobby music, very soft jazz, while still being trance-like and extremely lo-fi.
death's dynamic shroud uses a lot of samples, i particularly recognize the Gumby theme song on this song. they're very dystopian as well, having a series of albums called DERELICT MEGATOWER and my all time favorite song from those is this. no wait, this. honestly all of those albums are glorious.
I really couldn't tell you what genre this is- maybe vaportrap? anyways this song is incredible if you like heavier beats.
I think you might like this! it's lofi but more synthwave/outrun in style. also this
this is fun
also this one uses a lot of samples from games, I recognize at least Undertale lol. it encapsulates the plunderphonic aspect of vaporwave like found audio etc.
omg I also have to mention this and similar playlists which take older video game music sounds and do some sort of lofi sampling with them. absolutely beautiful and dreamlike. very nostalgic.
anyways @measuringbliss all of this is to say that you are a much better compilation post creator than I and I apologize for my messy attempt! idk what I'm doing I just have a lot of fun hopping around youtube/spotify recommendations and finding new music for my synth/vapor/what the fuck ever playlist
vaporwave is very heavily inspired by and connected to the concept of aestheticism lol (good god I'm probably butchering all of this. if anyone's reading this and knows more than me PLEASE infodump I beg you) and my tag for stuff that reminds me of that is vw. tagged below if you're interested!

Warlocks
Tumblr media
Image: https://www.deviantart.com/vincent-engelmann/art/Witch-Boy-796388985
Warlocks are witches who betray other witches, however in media they are thought to be the male equivalent. This is untrue, as all genders are simply referred to as witches. Warlocks has a traditionally negative connotation of betrayal and negativity towards fellow witches, and it defined as an outcasted witch because of this.
There's a certain perception of the word warlock claiming it as being a translation of a Saxon word meaning oath breaker. This word, wǣrloga, Also means traitor, liar, devil, and other equivalents. There have been attempts by some pagans to reclaim the word warlock, which brought about the popularity of a theory that the word may have roots in Norse mythology.
“In one of the poetic eddas, in The Saga of Eirik the Red, a sacred song called the Vardlokkur is sung, to ward off evil spirits during a religious ceremony. The idea is that the Vardlokkur, as applied to a person, is a "spell singer," rather than a liar or oath-breaker. Included as part of the practice of seidhr, the Vardlokkur was chanted not only to keep evil spirits at bay, but also to take the singer into a trance-like state for the purpose of prophesying.” - Meanings and Use of the Word "Warlock"
In this case, the word warlock would instead see the name for a specific type of magic involving music (specifically singing). These attempts, however, are not entirely widely known, so those who call themselves warlocks are still debated against by other witches. But all in all, the reality of the situation is that words such as this are extremely hard to trace back to their core roots, so it has become much more widely accepted that warlocks is simply a negative term instead of a positive one. This is especially the case seeing as music which is already exists and call themselves just that or they call themselves art witches.
“Though some may go by “Wizard” or “Warlock,” the majority of men involved in magick, Paganism and Wicca are happy to be known by one familiar term: witch… As for the whole wizard/warlock differentiation, there’s some debate. By Wicca Daily’s definitions, most witch-related terms are gender-neutral, but they do indicate skill, seniority and ethics. A wizard could be any witch of advanced skill, while sorcerers are the most advanced, elite of the wizards. Warlocks, however, are distinctly male –– but not male witches. Instead, warlocks are evil male practitioners of magick, traitors of the art. The female version of a warlock might be called a wicked witch, says MysticInvestigations.com.” - Just What is a  Male Witch, Anyway?

My favorite Electronic Music
Or, EDM is good and Y'all are cowards
I feel there's a lot of music elitism around electronic music. It's not my favorite for deep listening but a lot of it is great background for relaxing, or gaming or doing a myriad other tasks and I feel it gets dismissed very easily without a fair shake. The genre deserves some appreciation. So here's some cool albums. I might catch some flak for saying these are EDM but the title flows better like this. Anyway, enjoy.
1. Ratatat - Classics
Tumblr media
Classics by Ratatat is just plain cool. The production is good and it doesn't rely too much on synthetic sounds, with some drops of distortion and acoustic here and there. It's exactly what it says on the tin, solid ass bangers that became instant load-bearing classics in any playlist.
2. Fartbarf - Dirty Power
Tumblr media
The power do be dirty in this one. This one is heavier on synths and a lot of them are distorted as well. It's as electronic as one can get, as even the vocals don't escape some form of processing in the production. Still, it isn't as saturated as you might expect from something like Living Tombstone.
3. Pure Reason Revolution - Amor Vincit Omnia
Tumblr media
I fell in love with Pure Reason because of their The Dark Third album from, I wanna say, 2006? The things I loved about it were the powerful intros, riffs, and great harmonies. If I'm not mistaken, Jon Courtney's wish to dabble in more electronic influences was a factor in the near decade-long hiatus the band went through, but a lot of the music they actually made in their more electronic phase was very good. Amor Vincit Omnia is the best of theirs in this category, in my humble opinion.
4. Mike Oldfield - Tubular Beats
Tumblr media
Mike Oldfield is known for being a progressive rock virtuoso and composed Tubular Bells, a seminal classic most might recognize from 1973's The Exorcist. What is less known is that Mike has attempted to incorporate electronic and trance elements into his music, and this album has a bunch of remixes by one York, who I personally am not familiar with. Still, the beats are good. Were I a surfer dude, I'd hazard saying they are indeed tubular.

HILLSTOMP CD DARKER THE NIGHT 2010, IN MUSIC WE TRUST PUNKABILLY HILLBILLY BLUES.
I BOUGHT THIS CD AT THEIR CONCERT, BROUGHT IT HOME, OPENED IT, DOWNLOADED IT, AND PUT IT ON A SHELF.  LISTING AS EXCELLENT CONDITION.  INSERT IS FULLY INTACT.  BOX COVER IS NOT NOT TOUCHED, BUT CLOSE.  THESE GUYS TOUR IN MY AREA FREQUENTLY--SO HAVE SEEN A BUNCH AND THEY ARE INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND PUT ON A RIOT OF A SHOW.
Editorial Reviews
As with past Hillstomp releases, the music draws heavily from North Mississippi trance blues, a bit from Appalachia, and burns with the energy of punkabilly, but Darker the Night charters new territory, peering into the darker corners of the band's psyche while maintaining the celebratory nature of Hillstomp's raucous blues-billy stomp. In addition to Hillstomp's signature trance blues, Darker the Night showcases banjo songs, a small guest list of elite Portland musicians and even adds the sweet sound of a baying hound to the recording. On Darker the Night, Hillstomp has duct-taped together a powerful and distinctive album of original songs, traditionals, and the occasional revamped blues classic.

De Algemene Verwarring #75 - 13 June 2022
The seventy-fifth episode of De Algemene Verwarring was broadcast on Monday June 13, 2022, and you can listen to it by clicking on the Mixcloud widget below. And if that does not work, here’s the direct link to the Mixcloud page:
https://www.mixcloud.com/MedialabKortrijk/de-algemene-verwarring-75-13-juni-2022/
Pictured below are Gavin Friday and Dave-Id Busaras from the band The Virgin Prunes, and they are the only true goth band and you have to love them. I guess I don’t have to introduce the band to regular listeners of the show, but still, they wore dresses, high heels and stockings on stage, they were groundbreaking and an astounding live band (never seen them, but there’s enough footage to find on the YouTubes). I picked up a copy of their 10″ “A New Form Of Beauty 2″, released in 1981 and I played the monstrous 10 minutes track “Come To Daddy” in the show, also the reason why I had to delete two other tracks from my original playlist. More new music comes from local garage surf heroes Chiff Chaffs, there’s Swedish church music from the new Blod album, and there’s also a brand new Stefan Christensen double 7″. Also old stuff from Pain Teens, The Bojax, The Human League, The Fall and The B-52′s. And beneath the photo you can find the playlist for this show. Enjoy!

Slowpoke Unleash Trippy New Music Video and Two-Song Smash
~Doomed & Stoned~
By Billy Goate
Tumblr media
SLOWPOKE belong to that strange, and because of that elite, group of bands that relish in what should be called omnimetal. The St. John's collaboration of Ben Chapman-Smith (bass, vox), Cameron Legge (guitar), Adam Young (drums) float effortlessly (and at time jerk violently) between rock and metal subgenres, grabbing a little of this, dabbing on a little bit of that, a joyful (if jagged) potpourri of sludge, desert, stoner-doom, psychedelic and prog.
We introduced you to Slowpoke last year, midsummer, when they delivered the sizzling stoner romp "Sid the Cat," with grizzly guest vocals from Al Yeti Bones of Gypsy Chief Goliath (such a great song). It's part of their self-titled debut, which I heartily recommend if you're into the Melvins, Queens of the Stone Age, or Die Like Gentlemen. Even if you're not, don't walk away just yet because Slowpoke will surprise you.
Through and through, the album feels just like friends jamming together (and having a good time of it) with flashes of brilliance along the way, but above all an experience -- one that offers both reprieve from the brutal ambiguity of our present age ("Stony Iommi") and the courage to square up to it ("Slumlord").
You're about to hear those two very songs sans interruption in a rousing live performance from the band's visit to Argentia (read it again, I had to). I thought it was quite a trek for the band to do a film, considering the band's moorings in Newfoundland and Labrador. But it is in fact not Argentina but Argentia, a Canadian seaport.
Says the band:
"We chose these two tunes not only because they flow into each other well, but they also run the gamut of what we do as a band. We packed in high energy punk, big riffs, shoegazy effects wizardry, and even a meditative atmospheric part too."
The 12-minute film is situated in an alley that overlooks rolling hills spotted with patches of grass. The whole environment seems to welcome Slowpoke’s scruffiness.
In the summer of 2021, we recorded "Live in Argentina" with the help of Johnny Rawkhard, Rick Hollett, Glen Tizzard, Rick Tizzard, and Stephany Donahue. The music video features live performances of “Stony Iommi” and “Slumlord” against the backdrop of an abandoned bunker off the Argentia airstrip in Argentia, Newfoundland. We hope you enjoy watching it half as much as we enjoyed making it. Special thanks to Arts NL and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for providing funding for this project.
Our trip begins with a groovy bass riff and caustic vocals, joined by a cobble of punk and math rock. Two minutes in, and things get trippy. I must have gone into a trance or something, because I found myself in the mood to pull some to-dos off the shelf. There's an instrumental passage that goes on in rhapsodic fashion for a good bundle of minutes, building into something like Kyuss meets Meshuggah and Latin dance.
I swear, by the finish I was ready to tackle things I'd been lagging on for months. So there you go. Slowpoke could probably make bank doing the late night infomercial circuit. Their music really does impart energy.
Give ear...
