The songs of Young Royals - S1E2 & E3
And I'm back with another song analysis article ^^ You can find the first one (in which I covered the songs from S1E1) here.
I'm gonna do 2 episodes in this post because there are not many songs in episodes 2 and 3!
No tomorrow, Ty Frankett, Stephane Lo Jacomo and Myariag Summers
I'll be in my feels
They know I'm the truth
When I'm pullin' up I'm bulletproof
I don't really care 'bout the rules
The most cool Wilhelm has ever looked ^^ He was all blushing and stressed during lunch about what almost happened with Simon, but here he's collected, alone but looking like he doesn't care and just plays it cool. He's the Prince so I guess it's true that the "rules" don't really apply to him but is he "bulletproof"? Unfortunately the whole debacle that is gonna happen with the sex video will prove that statement wrong... (We also know that most of the students at Hillerska don't care that much about the rules, and August says it himself: they could "murder someone and nobody would say a word")
ALPHA, Yung Titties
ABC I'm the alpha bitch
If you wanna know who runs this shit
ABC I'm the alpha bitch
When I'm in a car, I'm driving
When I'm on a date, I'm buying
Yes girls!! They run this shit ^^ I like that they choose this song when we see the 4 girls hanging out together. I do like them (Felice, Stella, Frederika and Madison) (putting Sara on the side because *complicated feelings*) They're far from perfect but compared to most of the guys in the school, they're pretty cool. I love Felice and how smart/nice/strong she is, and I love her friendship with Wilhelm later on. I hope she'll become even more badass in season 3!! And Madison is the best (and one of the few people in this school who is not terrible to Simon). The song stops as soon as August arrives and takes a chair to sit next to Wilhelm: because yeah, he's not an "alpha". I like that Madison and Felice don't take shit from August: when he starts mocking Simon and Sara (after Felice invites them to the movie night), they immediately tell him off. Then we see Vincent and Nils join August and start bothering the girls (throwing gums/candies at them) and they're not impressed: it's a very short scene but it highlights the fact that they're not interested in their stupid behavior. It's also the episode in which we see the difference between the girls and the boys when it comes to their relationships: we learn at the beginning that Madison and Nils hooked up during the party, but also that Nils was bragging about it and giving the experience a 9/10 while Madison admits doing it mostly because she was bored and not being at all into Nils. We also see August pursuing Felice who is not interested at all.
Who run the world? Girls!!
Äter upp dig, Maxida Märak
Nu ska vi leka hela världen är våran
Huh inga hinder är för svåra
Flyger över alla jag är lätt som en fjäder
Strike like a pro BDSM läder
Good boys gone bad
Alla ser rött King Kong gone mad
Jag är blöt du är naken
Okay so it's a bit hard to do this one because it's in Swedish and I'm definitely not there yet with this language ^^' From what I understand with the translated lyrics, it's quite a "sexy" song (with some violent undertones: being a wolf, being naked, being wet, good boys gone bad, etc.). The first sentences are about playing and how they have the whole world, which is interesting because it's the parents day at Hillerska and we are introduced to a lot of upper class people, people who have a lot of money and power. In this sense, they are the people who can use the world as a playground: they have the means for that. They're rich and powerful, they're above. The lyrics are also about getting angry though, "seeing red, King Kong gone mad": a little nod to Simon and Sara being pebbles that are gonna throw the whole machinery off? During the lunch, Sara is going to mess up Felice's family with the riding issue (and they're the richest family apparently!). Wilhelm is also gonna upset the order by not sitting at August's table but choosing instead the one table with a family that doesn't belong to Hillerska's upper class environment. So I guess yeah, things aren't going to go that well. And to top it off, August is gonna learn that his family is in fact broke! Oh, how the rich and mighty have fallen...
Hillerska Song
Hope and faith wherever we roam
As we make our way back home
Oh, we meet with open hearts
Another one in Swedish but with the English subtitles directly in the show so it makes it easier to understand ^^
Simon and Wilhelm look SO happy and smiling and smitten in this scene 💜 I like the idea of making their "way back home" because they're not there yet, but they're getting there: being a safe space, being home for each other. And yeah in this scene they still have "open hearts", because Erik has not died yet, because the sex tape hasn't been made/released yet, because none of the awful stuff that is going to make them close in on themselves has happened yet.
And Wilhelm is so cute and happy (and it's gonna become very rare to see him like that afterward) that this song deserves another picture ^^

Ah... so at the beginning of winter break since I was sick and tired having having to draw stuff I didn't really want to at school, I drew and crocheted a bunch and ended up burning myself out. I was probably already burned out going into it so that didn't really help either. I recently got a bit of motivation back so here's some doodles! >:]
The first one was one I did randomly the second one was more intentionally doodle practice if you will.
Also it turns out doing quick imperfect doodles and experimentation can be really refreshing! At school we've really been hammering in realism which is fine, but doing it over and over again for months making sure everything is perfect contently with little room for creativity is exhausting. I'm actually kind of excited for the typography unit for whenever we get to it bc it's something other than realism! So yeah ig the moral of the story is doodle every once in a awhile tee hee.

Man, just saw a post about it, but renewed my frustration over work nonsense yesterday
Being like, oh, cool! It's disability pride month! We get to switch the displays in the store! I wanna make a really cool display right up front!!
Getting a cart to go start selecting books from our wide array of children's books, picture books, YA novels, adult fiction, nonfiction, etc that I know feature disabled characters and people and that I've seen sitting on the shelves for a while, our previous book buyer was always suuuuuper vocal about finding books w disabled characters, after all, representation just MATTERED SO MUCH to her,
And then being absolutely dumbfounded when we BARELY HAVE ANYTHING outside of characters w ADHD/Autism. MAYBE anxiety. PERHAPS a character has cancer. THE FAINTEST SUGGESTION of a wheelchair in one book. Huntington's? Question mark? In another? Conditions resulting in disfigurement/amputation? The concept could possibly exist in this book, uhh.. maybe...... anything else? Ha! Not on these shelves I fucking guess?!
Like.... we have a ton of books w queer rep! Different body types! Different skin tones! Teach your toddler about social justice! Transgender characters! Nonbinary characters! The alphabet but we're making it gay! At least one book, I think, with asexual characters! But no, we don't have our self-empowerment books anymore or the little guide to sexuality and disability, we have Buddhist monk advice for anxious people, but nooooo we DON'T have that cool book that talked about disability activism anymore, and definitely not in time for July!
I know she and I were at odds before she left, and I know my specifically putting "National month of..." prompts up on my desk calendar after she expressed it was "so difficult to find out what each month is the month of!" probably really irritated her, but I'm like. Appalled that she hadn't been ordering to restock for disability pride month since she always made such a big deal about having books like that in the store.

writing this to let y'all know I got home safely from the S & M Experience and that it was much funny very entertainment, and also to publicly shame Samy for apparently thinking up until the other day that 'calf' and 'cow' are different animals <3

Tooth Wisdom #12
Hey buddy? The tears we shed will not heal the world, and to demand our unending mourning is to demand a sadder world, not a kinder one. Leave room for mourning, but do not expect the salt in your tears to make a flower bloom again. You are not obligated to bear this burden.
Or in simpler words: If you are doomscrolling, or otherwise making yourself suffer in any way just because the world suffers, without actively alleviating the world's suffering, you are not helping anyone, you're only adding your own suffering. To demand this of others is, in my humble opinion, obscenely arrogant and misguided.

I'm listening to Till's new songs and here are my first impressions
From Nass I really like the beginning, Till's voice is gorgeous there, I like how the singing increases, the guitars are awesome too, and I like how sometimes Till sings certain words, in this case "Nass", not sure how to feel about the autotune, but on Zeit I liked it (after readind the lyrics which i didn't do properly yet)
Lecker has a sound I really like, as someone who enjoys harsh vocals I love this and I like the parts with the clean(?) voice in contrast with the harsher one, no comment on the lyrics
I like Schweiss the most I think after the first listen but mostly because of the chorus that has one of the most beautiful melodies I ever heard in my life, reminds me a bit of Blut also the keyboard is cute (lmao idk)
I'll listen to them again and maybe I'll write more about them, overall I like them!

The Fourth
The fourth one isn’t there.
As Henry steps into the small apartment, he's greeted with chaos and disarray. The compact space makes the signs of a hasty escape even more apparent, and every closet, drawer, and container has been rummaged through haphazardly, their contents scattered on the floor. All their belongings have been left behind....save for the weapons, whose absence speaks volumes.
They had known he was coming. Had been warned, probably by the ghoul he had run into just down the street. A young girl, too green to even know about the vitae in her veins and the influence of her unknown master-- although Henry has his suspicions. He can count the number of people on one hand who would be this invested and opposed to his presence in Paris. And only one would have been shrewd enough to leave a ghoul to be her eyes and ears in the city of light after what had happened to her partner. The girl had slowed him down. If she had just kept walking, she might have survived-- but her eyes fixed on Henry when he passed her, and the frozen expression of fear and alert had been a dead giveaway. Somehow, she knew. And that made her a liability.
Either way, his target is probably too far away by now to track down, and too alert to leave a trail...
The body is still there when Henry backtracks. Her shirt is soaked with blood from the gash on her chest, right over her heart, and her neck bents unnaturally. If he's lucky, he may at least get some information off of her...
He drags the body off the street and into the nearest dark, shady alleyway that any sane person would avoid in fear of a mugging at this time of night. Once the body's on the ground again, he glances around, quickly but methodically, scanning for any more witnesses...
Nobody. Only the shadows that dance along the graffiti-covered walls and grant him an extra layer of secrecy.
Kneeling beside the body, he begins to search.
His hands move swiftly yet carefully, feeling through every pocket, but it only yields a handful of loose change, a crumpled receipt, and a set of keys.
"Fucking-- Shite..."
Next is her bag. An older, worn-out sling, the slider tab replaced by a paperclip, probably broken off at some point. Henry yanks it off her shoulder, unzips it with enough force born from sheer frustration that the paperclip comes loose and starts to shift through it.
"Come on..."
He finds a crumpled shopping list, a set of keys, a worn wallet with her ID... but nothing more substantial. Nothing he can use to find who sent her, who else knew about his work-- until his fingers brush over a secret pocket... and he takes the two phones hidden in it.
One is a modern model with a kitten smiling at him on its case; the other an older, sturdy Nokia. A burner, the kind he's used before. And with only one contact in its address book. Henry dials the number, waits for someone to pick up...
Click.
"Good evening, Jeanne."
Henry freezes.
Of fucking course.
"Jeanne?"
The phone goes hurling to the ground, and Henry brings his boot down on it for good measure, again and again with force, until there is nothing left to crush.
Antonia fucking Vicario.
The other phone is a liability now. He can't use it without the passcode, and phone tracking is a thing, even if Henry doesn't know how the hell it works. So, it follows a similar fate, and the round, wide eyes of the kitten on the cover start to resemble less awe and more fear.
The black sky above him starts to gain warm hues, signalling the impending sunrise. There's no time to dispose of the body, and burning it would only draw attention with the smoke and the stench of scorched flesh. Only one place he can see to hide her.
He heaves her body off the ground, picks up her bag, heading to the far end of the alleyway...Stopping at a large trash bin, its lid missing from its broken hinges. And drops her in unceremoniously.
Henry mouths a prayer to commend her soul to any greater power she may have believed in and mutters an apology for the disrespect he has shown her corpse... But that's the best he can do. Already he can hear the city waking up around him. Soon, someone will find her. Some unfortunate garbageman or passerby, a friend who notices her absence... A small relief that she at least won't rot somewhere alone with no one to bury her.
With that thought, he turns and walks away, leaving the alleyway and the night's failure behind him.
For now, he has a runaway to hunt down.
