Building a new look for my classic (dramatic) goth 😋 Such an ethereal look too 🖤 I took this as surprise photo set, but I decided to release these as well 😆
I took these so fast that I forgot to put on a matching crystal and I got the dress, headdress, and earrings from Romwe and necklace and belt from AliExpress 💜🖤
Definitely more pics at my Patreon

I don't know how @witchnova221 does it, but sometimes she just creates an image with her writing that sticks with me for weeks. This is one of them.
A scene from chapter 17 of her Wangxian fic 'Pure Imagination'. Go read it here - it's still ongoing as I am posting this, but it's so so worth it. I promise!

THE VOID STATE IS EASY AND YALL OVER COMPLICATE IT FOR NOTHING!!
YES GUYS!! I WISH YOU GUYS WOULD UNDERSTAND!! WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU THIS WHOLE TIME!! JUST WHEN YOU ARE DOING VOID STATE JUST LET YOUR THOUGHTS PASS NATURALLY AND DONT FORCE ANYTHING JUST FREAKING RELAX!! ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO UNDERSTAND THIS HENCE WHY THERE ARE A BUNCH OF SUCCESS STORIES!! YOU DONT NEED SUBLIMINALS OR METHODS JUST RELAX PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN IN THE VOID DOING JUST THAT!
Seriously! Just relax and don’t let your thoughts get to you!! Literally just relax and let your thoughts pass and do deep breathing if you want! And boom!! People that don’t even know what the void is have gotten into it just by doing this!! Neville Goddard literally TOLD US this is how to enter the I AM state!
If you do want methods, I recommend you to the distraction method by @luckykiwiii101 or the wim hof pink breath method by rima shifting on TikTok and @voidprincessblog there were so many success stories with these both! And use my dream life subliminal or my void state subliminal or even both! And say askfirmations like “why do I always get into the void”
Just relax focus on black behind your eyes let thoughts pass and don’t focus on the dang thoughts just let them pass omg! don’t focus on your body or symptoms like just relax that’s the WHOLE POINT OF MEDITATION! then once you feel relaxed floaty and her nothing and are in a black space (or whatever your void looks like!) just affirm for your dream life or whatever you want and BOOM! and here’s a tip! If you have annoying negative thoughts, assume that your negative thoughts will get you closer to your goal! That’s why I have success with my subliminals because I did just that with my subliminals! I put affirmations that will make you manifest/void state no matter what!
Just please understand the void state is easy! It’s the delta state!! We get in every single freaking night we aren’t aware of it!! But we always enter wether you like it or not!
You guys always be like: “why haven’t I entered the void!” The whole point of law of assumption is to assume and KNOW ITS EASY! BUT YOU DONT EVEN REALLY HAVE TO ASSUME BECAUSE THE VOID STATE IS GENUINELY EASY IN ITSELF!
A tip from @graychrissy and what I also have said is to ignore your thoughts and just let them pass! Pretend you’re observing someone else’s thoughts but they aren’t you! It’s not hard at all!! That’s how that one anon entered the void state and manifested something! Because they just went with the flow!!
It’s just like having a job! Yes, you’re there for money but at the same time, you’re just letting the money follow! And then when you get your paycheck you are like “dang I didn’t know I had this much!” Just go with the flow and let go! We have been saying this countless of times even NEVILLE has been saying that!!
Personally I think that the wim hof pink breath method, yoga nidra, the distraction method and the normal way of entering the void are the most effective!
And if you get into the void state and you realize that you’re scared to manifest your dream life, just say “I always enter the void state instantly no matter what” and then you can get into the void state instantly no matter what! So then you can prepare yourself!
It’s easy!! Omg I’m seeing alot of success stories because people are realizing this!! So please, please PLEASE just listen to me and us!!

Israel Realtime
▪️NORTH - LEBANON PRESSURE.. Syria declares that it is ready to support Lebanon in the event of an Israeli invasion of the country.  Egypt warns Hezbollah ; "Israel is preparing to enter southern Lebanon, you must consider stopping escalation.”
▪️AID - PROTESTORS get a copy of the transit papers for the aid to Gaza:  Shipper: UNWRA, Product: Flour, Port: Ashdod.  Israel is now stocking UNWRA with its left hand while complaining they are Hamas and demanding countries defund UNWRA with its right hand.  Smack - why are you hitting yourself?  Smack - why are you hitting yourself?  
▪️JUDEA-SAMARIA - Counter-terror operations:  Beit Kahil, Hebron.  Beit Rima (near Beit Aryeh). Qalqilya.
▪️GAZA - Heavy fighting continues to be reported from Khan Yunis, with enemy reports stating hundreds of enemy killed.
▪️NORTH - Heavy bombing continues to be reported across southern Lebanon, the IDF is pushing back hard today.
▪️COLD ALERT… homeless and those in need of a warm space can call Ministry of Welfare hotline - 118.
▪️UNWRA.. a huge number of Palestinian and Hamas statements condemning the pausing of aid to UNWRA, after Israel provided evidence many UNWRA workers participated in the Oct. 7 massacre and subsequent holding of some hostages.  They are shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YOU, that the world could defund their organization and cut off the free flow of stuff.  Estonia has joined the funding pause.
▪️US TROOPS KILLED - US CENTRAL COMMAND.. 3 US soldiers killed and 34 wounded in today’s suicide drone attacks on the US based near the Jordan-Syria border.  The base that was attacked is El Tanaf.  It's a military base where the Americans train commando forces from the Syrian opposition, at the base of an airstrip, from the base American drones go out for intelligence activities in the area.  An American source told Reuters: the number of soldiers injured in the drone attack has risen to 34. 
▪️LIES OF THE DAY.. photos of Gazan children in the mud and puddles in a tent — are FAKE via AI, but are being redistributed everywhere on social networks. On those sites, many believe that these are real photos and wonder how the photographer had the heart to photograph children like this and not help them.  (( that’s not the question, posing children for fake photos is a Palestinian industry, just google “Pallywood”.  People believe these because they seem ‘plausible’ - nobody bothers to count the billions in support, tens of thousands of tents and hundreds of daily trucks - just sees whatever manipulated pictures are distributed. And doesn’t contrast that to yesterday’s propaganda pictures, which were dry Gaza children wearing hospital isolation units as outer wear - because its fun - wasting them from use as medical supplies, that were distributed on the same networks.  An anti-truth age. ))

Sci-Fi Story Characters - 3/4 - Ryker and Cyrus
Cyrus is the the sergeant in charge of the A.D.E.S. squad that consists of the main characters (Avani, Ryker, Rima, and Miri). Out of all the members, he's been in the Valiance Space Corps the longest, working his way up the ranks to be promoted to sergeant and put in charge of training the new recruits and helping them sharpen their skills to better serve the VSC, who he trusts and serves without question. His newest assignment for training (main cast) is proving to be a bit more of a challenge- particularly butting heads with Avani at first- but they show great promise and have helped him learn to loosen up a bit as well. As one of the top ranked soldiers in the A.D.E.S. he has superior skills in marksmanship, spaceflight, and combat. After a reconnaissance mission, Cyrus finds classified documents that make him question the VSC that he's served in, and when he brings it to a trusted superior, they assure him that the documents are falsified propaganda made by enemy forces, and to have them turned over for eradication. Cyrus does so, but can't help shaking the feeling that something doesn't add up.
Ryker is the member of the squadron that has known Cyrus the longest, and is his unofficial second in command. He's in charge of maintaining the supplies on the ship, and is their best gunner on board when they are in space combat. As the more calm and serious member of the team, he also tends to be the one to diffuse the tensions that arise, especially in the beginning as the team learns to work together, however he can sometimes be convinced by Miri to join in on the occasional prank, but makes sure it doesn't go too far. After the team's last failed mission, he is offered Cyrus' position in the A.D.E.S. but refuses, mourning the loss of his closest friend, instead taking a post in one of the VSC armories maintaining weapon stocks and provisions. Cyrus' also has a robotic eye, after losing his right eye during a previous mission.

New Releases
July is shaping up to be a great month for exciting YA reads! What's on your TBR list this month? Here are the new releases coming out tomorrow, 7/11!
I'd Rather Burn Than Bloom by Shannon C.F. Rogers
Packed with voice, this is a powerful coming-of-age YA novel about a Filipina-American teen who tries to figure out who she really is in the wake of her mother's death.
Some girls call their mother their best friend. Marisol? She could never relate. She and her mom were forever locked in an argument with no beginning and no end.
But when her mother dies suddenly, Marisol is left with no one to fight against, haunted by all the things that she both said and didn’t say. And when Marisol sleeps with her best friend's boyfriend—and then punches said best friend in the face—she's left alone, with nothing but a burning anger. And Marisol is determined to stay angry. After all, there’s a lot to be angry about. But as a new friendship begins to develop, Marisol reluctantly starts to open up to her, and to the possibility there’s something else on the other side of that anger—something more to who she is, and who she could be.
A Song of Salvation by Alechia Dow
From the author of The Sound of Stars and The Kindred comes a YA space opera about a reincarnated god and a grumpy pilot on a mission to save a beloved space DJ and stop an intergalactic war.
Zaira Citlali is supposed to die. After all, she’s the god Indigo reborn. Indigo, whose song created the universe and unified people across galaxies to banish Ozvios, the god of destruction. Although Zaira has never been able to harness Indigo’s powers, the Ilori Emperor wants to sacrifice her in Ozvios’s honor. Unless she escapes and finds Wesley, the boy prophesized to help her defeat Ozvios and the Ilori, once and for all.
Wesley Daniels didn’t ask for this. He just wants to work as a smuggler so he can save enough money to explore the stars. Once he completes his biggest job yet—bringing wanted celebrity Rubin Rima to a strange planet called Earth—he’ll be set for life. But when his path crosses with Zaira, he soon finds himself in the middle of an intergalactic war with more responsibility than he bargained for. Together, Zaira, Wesley, and Rubin must find their way to Earth and unlock Zaira’s powers if they’re going to have any hope of saving the universe from total destruction.
All the Yellow Suns by Malavika Kannan
A coming-of-age story about a queer Indian American girl exploring activism and identity through art, perfect for fans of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.
Sixteen-year-old Maya Krishnan is fiercely protective of her friends, immigrant community, and single mother, but she knows better than to rock the boat in her conservative Florida suburb. Her classmate Juneau Zale is the polar opposite: she’s a wealthy white heartbreaker who won’t think twice before capsizing that boat.
When Juneau invites Maya to join the Pugilists—a secret society of artists, vandals, and mischief-makers who fight for justice at their school—Maya descends into the world of change-making and resistance. Soon, she and Juneau forge a friendship that inspires Maya to confront the challenges in her own life. But as their relationship grows romantic, painful, and twisted, Maya begins to suspect that there’s a whole different person beneath Juneau’s painted-on facade. Now Maya must learn to speak her truth in this mysterious, mixed-up world—even if it results in heartbreak.
My Week with Him by Joya Goffney
From Joya Goffney of  Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry, comes a stirring YA coming-of-age, best friends-to-lovers romance about a girl named Nikki who plans to run away from small-town Texas, but ultimately finds that her oldest friend, Mal, just might be the one who’s been there for her all along. Filled with heart and humor, this novel captures complex family drama, friendship, and love. For fans of  I Wanna Be Where You Are  by Kristina Forest and  Counting Down with You  by Tashie Bhuiyan.
Nikki can’t wait to leave Texas and follow her dreams of a music career . . . After a painful betrayal by her sister and a heated argument with their mother, Nikki is kicked out and finds herself homeless. She decides to go to California to pursue her singing career. When her best friend, Malachai, discovers her plan to flee Texas, he begs her to spend the remainder of spring break with him. He believes that over the course of a week, he can convince her to stay in Texas, or to at least graduate high school.
But their plans are interrupted when Nikki’s little sister Vae goes missing. Nikki is forced to work alongside her difficult mother as they set off in search of Vae, with Malachai’s support. Will Nikki find a reason to stay in Texas, or will this spring break be the last time she sees them? Through her emotional journey, Nikki ultimately finds the love she’s always been missing and discovers the power of her own voice.

Vampire Knight: Senri Shiki's Yandere for Kianna Komori — Aesthetic Part 7 (Requested)
Tumblr media
Deadly Secrets
The air was cold, but snow had yet to fall. It was now December as the fifth month of the school year came about. This meant first semester Final Exams were around the corner and as was the Cross Academy's annual winter ball to wrap up the school year. However, Senri didn't care about any of it because it meant winter break would take place immediately afterwards. Meaning, he would be apart from his Sweetheart for two weeks. Speaking of which, Senri hadn't seen Kianna all day. Of course, this wasn’t out of the ordinary considering their schedules function during polar opposite times of the day. Regardless, it didn’t stop Senri from thinking about his girlfriend.
Senri was walking along side Rima and the other Night Class Students across the bridge, which led to the main campus building from the Moon Dormitory. The golden sun was setting on Cross Academy. Thus, it was time for the switchover as they approached the Moon Gate. Once the large double doors parted, the vampire students were greeted with the usual cheers and squeals of the Day Class Students. Well, most of them. Kianna was among the scarce few who never participated in the crossover. The loud noise was too much for her. Senri understood this, but it would be nice to catch her eye in the crowd once in awhile.
"I see Zero is nowhere to be found". Kaname commented.
"Yes. That is odd". Senri blinked beside Rima.
"I wonder where that Disciplinary Committee member ran off to". Takuma smiled.
"Doesn’t matter to me". Rima shrugged.
Hanabusa walked with his hands behind his head. "Good riddance". He huffed in response.
Kaname then approached Yuki from behind. She was struggling to keep the rowdy girls in line. "Yuki, don’t push yourself too hard". Kaname commented.
"Ah"! Yuki jumped. She then whipped her body around and bowed respectfully. "I-I won't"! Yuki declared. "Thank you very much". She awkwardly stuttered, scratching the back of her head. Unfortunately for her, several teenage girls were now glaring at her back for barely talking to him.
It was obvious to everyone Kaname gave Yuki special treatment. However, they were all a little confused by it. No one understood Yuki was the only thing Kaname cares about. Except for Senri. After talking with his cousin the other night, he knew Kaname was referring to her. Knowing this, he hopped the Pureblood has been thinking about is proposal to turn Kianna.
Eventually, everyone reported to class. By the time all the Night Class Students were gathered in the dark classroom, stars shown in the sky. Vampires were positioned across the room. Some sat at their desks, or on top of them, others were standing on the asile steps, while a few students even sat in the large windowsills above the classroom. The only light in the room came from the gothic windows pouring natural moonlight into the space.
Suddenly, the heavy wooden classroom door opened and shut. The sound caught everyone's attention. Every vampire in the room stiffened and their eyes glowed a fiery red on instinct. The man who walked into the room wasn't their usual instructor. He was a rather tall man with bright white skin, which was flawless. He adorned a traditional victorian instructor suit consisting of dark brown slacks with a long matching trench coat over a white blouse. The man's lace-up, dark brown leather boots heavily stomped over to his desk located at the bottom center of the room. His raven hair swayed in a ponytail above his tailbone as he walked. Once the unknown figure reached his desk, he stood behind it and faced the class with his stone cold gray eyes. "Hello". The man greeted in a husky voice. "My name is Maku, however; you will adress me as Professor Komori. Starting today, I will be your new ethics teacher". He announced in an emotionless tone.
Kaname was leaning against the wall with a book in his hand. He was halfway through turning a page in between his fingers when he paused at the announcement. At Maku's words, Kaname glanced up at Senri with his mahogany eyes. From his point-of-view, Senri was in the center column of the classroom. He was sitting in his chair with a poky stick hanging out of his mouth. Shiki received the candy from Rima, who was sitting atop her desk in the row above him.
"What did he say"? Rima asked with narrowed eyes.
"It appears you won't aquire my help after all, Senri". Kaname mumbled to himself.
Since the Night Class is composed of vampires, it's only natural for them to be taught by Vampire Hunters to keep them in check. These hunters are a species all their own. Their human ancestors drank the blood of a Red Cloaked Pureblood and managed to obtain various inhuman abilities to fight against vampires. However, none of them were aware Kianna's father was a vampire hunter himself. Although this meant she's technically human, Kianna is truly a vampire hunter because, the species is dominant in their offspring. Like vampires, any children conceived with a weaker species will automatically inherit the blood of the stronger parent. Hybrids don't exist among humans and vampires or humans and vampires hunters. Yet, it's possible for a vampire and a vampire hunter to create a hybrid child as both species are codominant.
Acknowledging this, Senri now knew his dilemma had been solved. Vampire Hunters are known to live thousands of years. In addition, their inhuman abilities would increase with each generation. For all Senri knew, Kianna could now live as long as him. Despite this welcomed information, it also meant he had questions for his Sweetheart. Even though they had always been reserved, Senri at least told Kianna some things about his family. His girlfriend, on the other hand, had been completely silent about her relatives for some reason. Perhaps this was why. Senri thought Kianna didn’t want to scare him by admitting she's capable of killing his own kind... specifically, killing himself. At the same time, there seemed to be more to this than Senri knew.

Whilst the line art isn't entire perfect, I am still pretty happy with how my Rima painting turnt out. I started making experimental clothes when I had ideas for a space lolita aesthetic inpired by the English brand Cyberdog back when I was 17- I actually own a couple of Cyberdog clothing articles. So on a whim I decided to sketch and paint Rima in one of my old designs, the basic space Lolita dress with moonboots.

(Well, like I was trying to say, someone else will probably do Sol...but in the event that doesn't happen here's your designated Sol request card to be used for emergencies)
Thank you for the bonus Sol request card hahah
🔥 Overall opinion of them:
*gestures at my entire blog* He's alright
🔥 Gender/sexuality headcanons:
There is no way this dude isn't bi. You can't name a character after Freddie Mercury and give him a THREE TIMES RECURRING* character theme named directly after a Queen song and then say he's straight. There's absolutely no way.
*Keep Yourself Alive and then the II and III versions
🔥 Favorite moment in canon:
God there are so many... That scene from Xrd where Sol gets blasted on Ky's whiskey, goes to the room Ram and Sin are in, gives a motivational speech, and then 6P's the window lives in my heart forever though
🔥 Favorite moment in a fanwork:
I actually have an answer for this one. I have a doujinshi called Magic In Your Eyes by Rima Setsura and it has this Sol panel in it. It's hilariously OOC but I have a cropped transparent version I use as a reaction image sometimes:
Tumblr media
🔥 Favorite line, in canon or otherwise:
When you have the Japanese voices on in Strive and Goldlewis gets Sol with a full Skyfish, Sol goes "tchtchtchtchtch" really fast and it's funny.
Ok I didn't know Sol's system voice in Xrd gave him dialog for the character select screen too (afaik the other voices don't) and they're hilarious:
Tumblr media
🔥 Characters I love seeing them interact with:
Anyone who gets him to not be a dickhead for five minutes. So Jack-O' uhhh sometimes Sin... Axl for like.... two lines in Xrd. Um. Dizzy, kinda...
🔥 Last thing before sleeping headcanons:
Moving the mostly-empty beer can away from the edge of the base of the couch so he doesn't accidentally knock it over when he wakes up later.
🔥 Sleeping habits headcanons:
I drew this before, actually. Before he gets that house at the end of Strive, I imagined he mostly lived out of that small shack described at the end of the Begin novel. It didn't sound like it was very big so I don't think it would have enough space for a real bed and Sol would sleep on this gross shitty couch shoved off into the corner:
Tumblr media
Sol's had eyebags in his design pretty consistently throughout the art for GG too. He definitely is not getting the minimum 8 hours a night
🔥 First thing after waking up headcanons:
Grumbling and deciding if he really wants to get out of bed or not, then ultimately getting up anyway because everyone has to go take that morning piss eventually. Sol's hygiene is something I've thought about a lot but haven't been able to quite figure out. He definitely puts a lot of effort into his outfits, getting them custom made AND wearing clean white pants, but then his hair sticks together in solid, stiff, clumps like it's kinda greasy?? I think he might be one of those people who maybe at least washes their face daily and does laundry often but is too lazy to take a real shower every day
🔥 Favorite locations headcanon:
It's sort of implied through his character specific maps in the early GG games that he might be from New York/New York City and in Begin he has a whole daily habit of going out and laying in the grass under a tree every day. But also in the later GG games he has some big desert themes. I think he likes being alone in nature, though if you asked him about where his favorite place to be was he'd give some tough guy answer like "at a bar" or something like that, but in his heart he's imagining a state park in rural New York up in Appalachia somewhere quiet and green.

Officially ended? Or both of you need time and space?
Dua minggu hilang, itupun sebab saya start dulu. Kalau tak memang tergantung sepi forever.Rasanya cukup dah space tu.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nak orang faham dia busy, boleh tunggu dia yang tak ada masa untuk kita, dan tak ada improvement dalam taaruf ni.
Rasanya cukup dah tu. Drag lama lama tanpa kepastian pun penat. Ye tahu memang tujuan nak kahwin, tapi kenal kenal along the journey tu macam tak nampak visi misi dia untuk membina keluarga. Nampak sibuk sangat bekerja.
Dan pada akhir conversation pun dia rasa cara bertanggungjawab adalah dengan biar saya pergi. Takda pun rasa nak improve apa apa.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Err nampak kita pula desperate dekat sini kan. Yang last tu pun kita tak faham maksud dia hajat apa. Tak dan nak tanya. Memang itu last pastu kita seen je. Sakit hati haha.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ni satu lagi. Apa benda? Kita bukan mesej dia hari hari pun. Seminggu dua tiga kali je. Itupun sepatah dua kata pastu hilang. Nampak sangat dah rimas dengan kita kan haha.
Kita dah lama tak randomly tanya khabar dia. Biasanya kalau dia reply story, baru kita masuk tanya khabar. Lahh tiba tiba dia reply semula 3 hari lepas tu.
Saya ni barulah konon konon nak tunjuk effort nak tahu dia ok tak. Rupanya dia tak suka pun kot. Apalah susah sangat reply saya busy minggu ni. Bukan suruh buat karangan pun. Pastu hilanglah sebulan pun saya tak kisah. Asalkan ada clarification je sebelum buat saya macam tu. Ni benda dah hilang lama, datang2 minta maaf bagi alasan sama. Siapa tak sakit hati haha.
Saya tak ada masalah untuk menunggu, kalau pihak di sana menjelaskan dengan baik dan berusaha untuk tunjuk bahawa penantian saya tidak sia sia.

Westway Lab: um laboratório para novas descobertas
Tendo já começado o Espaço de Criação e de Conferências PRO em Guimarães, na passada quarta-feira, 10 de Abril, o Westway Lab começou o seu Festival no dia 12 de Abril. As hostilidades foram abertas no Centro Cultural Vila Flor (CCVF) por Luís Severo, seguindo-se Bardino, Silly, Riça e Capicua. No sábado, o dia começou com uma série de concertos abertos à comunidade e em diversos locais da cidade, nos quais se incluíram Remna, Sónia Trópicos, Grand Sun, debdepan, J.P. Coimbra, Corvo, Melquiades, Franek Warzywa e Młody Budda e Trigaida. A partir das 21h30, os concertos concentraram-se de novo no CCVF, começando com Júlia Mestre. Conferência Inferno, UTO, Unsafe Space Garden e NewDad foram os actos seguintes. Para encerrar, o Westway Lab organizou uma Festa de Encerramento, no CAAA, que contou com os DJ Sets de A Boy Named Sue, Rodrigo Areias e Jorge Quintela.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A honestidade de Luís Severo
Foi, então, no Auditório do CCVF que o Festival WestWay Lab teve o seu início e tomou forma pelas mãos de Luís Severo, que sozinho ao piano nos agraciou com a honestidade e sensibilidade com que escreve os seus temas. Após as duas primeiras músicas a solo no piano onde nos falou sobre amores e desamores, certezas e incertezas, angústias e felicidades, Luís Severo agarrou a guitarra acústica e Catarina Branco tomou o piano e apoiou na voz. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Foi em “Cedo ou Tarde” que se juntou um coro de duas vozes aos dois artistas já no palco para nos expressar que viver é um desafio, não só connosco mesmos, mas também face aos tempos que se impõem. Porém, como explicou Luís Severo antes de começar: “este é um daqueles dias que é bom” e, até ao final da sua performance sentida, o artista teve, ainda, tempo para estrear duas músicas novas, uma delas de nome “Insónia” que como disse “não a preciso de explicar, o seu nome fala por si mesmo”.
A conjugação inteligente e intrigante entre o jazz e a electrónica dos Bardino
No Café Concerto do CCVF, os Bardino subiram ao palco para nos fazer dar um ‘pézinho de dança’ fora da caixa. Foi para apresentar o seu último disco “Memória de Pedra Mãe”, mas não só, que o trio constituído por Nuno Fulgêncio (bateria), Diogo Silva (baixo) e Rui Martins (teclados e vozes) desafiou a ‘classificação em caixinhas’.
Caracterizando-se por uma fusão de eletrónica, rock e jazz com nuances de krautrock, fusion jazz ou ambiente electrónica, os Bardino fazem-nos viajar no passado, no presente e no futuro, mas estando sempre presentes no momento.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
E, do mesmo modo que o seu recente álbum se inicia com a frase “Tenho uma história bonita, tenho uma história linda (…)”, o trio portuense ecoou perante uma plateia surpreendida e curiosa com a audácia que uma linda história contou.
Silly: um coração que tanto almeja e se agiganta a cada melodia
Foi com o “Intro” encaixado no segundo tema “Encontrar”, tal como acontece no seu álbum de estreia “Miguela”, que Silly iniciou a viagem por um coração que tanto almeja e se agiganta a cada melodia. Com uma aura complexa demais para ser colocada por palavras, Maria Bentes (Silly) e Fred – que também colaborou na concepção deste trabalho – fizeram-nos viajar com as rimas reflectidas e sentidas e com a conjugação perfeita entre as batidas, os teclados, a guitarra e todo o ambiente criado pelo inteligente jogo de luzes e fumos.
“Coisas Fracas”, “Silêncio”, “No Que Procurei”, “Água Doce”, “Solitude”, “Herança”, “Cavalo à Solta” ou “Inquietação” foram alguns dos temas percorridos pelos artistas, acrescentando-lhes sempre diferentes nuances ao registo do álbum e, assim, ganhando ainda mais vida. Entre “Miguela”, Silly presenteou o público com um cover de “Prognósticos” de B Fachada, um tema que a artista admite cantar como se tivesse sido da sua autoria, de tal sentir a canção como sua.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
E, nesta espécie de bolha em que estivemos imersos imperou e prosperou a tranquilidade e a delicadeza mesmo quando a viagem relatava um mundo nem sempre feliz ou nem sempre leve ou o quão intranquilo, inquieto e perdido um ser humano se pode sentir. No entanto, a mensagem é evidente: em toda a parte é possível encontrar um pouco de amor e um pouco de compreensão e é a isso que nos devemos agarrar mesmo quando temos que seguir “em frente diante o vento forte”.
E foi mesmo com “Vento Forte” que Silly e Fred encerraram esta experiência imersiva que durou pouco mais de 45 anos, que nos permitiu estar noutra realidade e onde “Miguela” é mais e mais um pouco de nós e do que sentimos e nos é tão complicado expressar.
Os vegetais delirantes de Franek Warzywa e Młody Budda
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Foi através de pouco mais do que um sampler, de uma guitarra e da voz que Franek Warzywa e Młody Budda deram uma performance surpreendentemente enérgica que cruzou os mais diferentes géneros musicais de uma forma “esquizofrénica”.
Tendo-se tornado virais no TikTok e tendo ganho notoriedade entre o público após um concerto explosivo no OFF Festival, o duo polaco não esconde que canta sobre temas como os vegetais, nomeadamente batatas, mas também sobre o seu computador que está constantemente a avariar. Havendo ainda tempo para falar sobre o sol e sobre o mau tempo que tanto se sente nas terras de onde são oriundos.
No CAAA apresentaram os seus visuais relativos a este tal computador que tanto avaria e durante cerca de 40 minutos cruzaram géneros musicais que rapidamente transitavam: num momento soava a pop, no seguinte estaríamos perante nuances de metal core e, no mesmo tema, poderia ainda existir tempo para uma sonoridade mais electrónica. Mas, rock, math rock, techno são também opções e energia e entrega não lhes faltou!
Trigaida: a herança búlgara cruzada com a electrónica
Bem sucedidos no Got Talent da Bulgária de 2022, Trigaida são um fenómeno recente na electrónica contemporânea da Bulgária. “Elate” é o álbum de estreia da banda e é uma fusão única entre o folclore tradicional búlgaro e a música eletrónica.
Tumblr media
Parte das influências são também o drum‘n bass, o dubstep, o trip hop, oferecendo assim sonoridades que chegam ao jazz contemporâneo, à world music e ao neoclássico e, tal se fez sentir no CAAA, em Guimarães.
Com Ivan Shopov enquanto produtor e MC, Asya Pincheva na voz e Georgi (Horhe) Marinov na gaita de foles e didgeridoo, os Trigaida surpreenderam o público que não deixou de expressar o seu entusiasmo e de dançar ao som desta herança combinada com o contemporâneo.
Julia Mestre: uma contadora de histórias nata
Com um ambiente intimista, o público presente no Auditório do CCVF foi plateia atenta e deliciada perante a doçura de Julia Mestre. A vocalista de Bala Desejo fez-nos viajar pelos temas do seu mais recente álbum “Arrepiada” (2023), mas não só.
Tumblr media
Acompanhada apenas pela sua guitarra e através da sua voz, a cantora brasileira contou histórias. As história que criaram as suas músicas e as suas letras, como foi caso de “Chuva de Caju” que nos fala sobre o encontro da artista com Ana Caetano; “do do u”, um romance da artista com alguém que esteve pelos Estados Unidos da América durante três meses e veio a falar um misto de português com inglês; ou “Deusa Inebriante”, que foi a forma que a Julia Mestre encontrou para lidar com o facto de não ter conseguido despedir-se de um familiar próximo que caiu num “sono profundo” em período de covid-19.
“el fuego del amor”, “Sentimentos Blues” ou “Sonhos e Ilusões” que, no álbum de 2023 tem a participação de MARO, foram mais alguns dos temas que Julia Mestre nos ofereceu com a gentileza e sensibilidade que lhe é tão intrínseca.
Conferência Inferno: um exorcismo às ansiedades
Tumblr media
Foi para apresentar o “Pós-Esmeralda”, mas sem esquecer temas do seu primeiro LP, que o trio do Porto se juntou no Café Concerto do CCVF. Com o punk e o new wave no seu ADN, Raul Mendiratta, Francisco Lima e José Miguel Silva entregaram-nos as suas canções negras que exaltam os espíritos.
Com a energia punk sempre em crescendo e os ritmos new wave como uma constante, a ironia, a agonia e o êxtase que tanto é característica do trio não foram excepção nesta performance. Foi uma ode a este pandemónio em que vivemos que prova que, no desespero, entre chorar e dançar, dancemos e berremos e exorcizemos as ansiedades.
“Perdi a conta dos passos, não consigo contar. Encontro a múltipla no escuro sempre a pairar. Encosto os drunfos à parede, eu não consigo parar. Cedo-te múltiplo futuro sem vacilar. Somos todos corpos. A distopia pródiga”, ecoaram os Conferência Inferno para encerrar o ritual.
O je ne sais quoi dos UTO
Presenciar os UTO foi como entrar num espaço celestial. Neysa Mae Barnett e Emile Larroche constituem a dupla parisiense que, como tem vindo a ser habitual neste festival, não é simples classificar. Não é só pop, mas também não se reduz a vagas noções de electrónica.
Assim, o trip hop, o dream pop, o techno ou o synth pop ajudam a criar um ambiente fantasmagórico e alienígena deste duo que teve como seu álbum de estreia “Touch The Lock” (2022) e que, segundo o Pitchfork é “prismático”, no sentido em que é uma introdução perfeita ao maravilhoso e estranho mundo de Neysa e Emile, onde a imaginação e a liberdade imperam.
Através da voz, dos sintetizadores e da guitarra, os UTO abriram-nos a porta ao seu mundo vasto e preenchido de coisas que não se vêem, mas tanto se sentem.

A exaltação humorística dos Unsafe Space Garden
Oriundos de Guimarães, os Unsafe Space Garden tratam as confusões existenciais de forma peculiar e entre os ingredientes estão o humor, a energia, a cor, o absurdo, o caos e a intimidade e, tudo isto, faz que o momento seja muito mais do que só um concerto.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alexandra Saldanha, no sintetizador e na voz; Nuno Duarte, na guitarra e na voz; Filipe Louro, no baixo e na voz; Diogo Costa, no sintetizador e nos samples; José Vale, na guitarra; e João Cardita, na bateria tornam a sua sonoridade única, percorrendo sonoridades mais electrónicas com timbres mais jazz que chegam ao rock, post-rock e, até mesmo, ao post-metal.
Em cinco anos, lançaram quatro trabalhos discográficos: o EP “Bubble Burst” (2019), o LP “Guilty Measures” (2020), o LP “Bro, You Got Something In Your Eye - A Guided Meditation” (2021) e, o seu mais recente, “Where’s the Ground” (2023) e somaram uma avalanche de concertos em território nacional, incluindo o Tremor e o Primavera Sound Porto. E a ideia é simples: comunicar o que se sente sem pudor e com uma pitada de ironia e de humor, pois faz parte aceitar toda a confusão e arrebatamento que na vida acontecem e de que tanto falam nos seus temas. O concerto no Café Concerto do CCVF não foi diferente.
NewDad: comunicar o que não tem outro modo de ser expressado
Da Irlanda directamente até Guimarães, os NewDad vieram apresentar o seu novo e álbum de estreia “Madra” (2024), uma fusão magnífica entre o dream-pop, o post-punk e o shoegaze que pretende comunicar aquilo que não tem outro modo de ser expressado e os NewDad fazem-no de forma exímia, como se sentiu na Box do CCVF.
Tumblr media
É explorando emoções profundas que a cantora e guitarrista Julie Dawson expressa o que lhe corre dentro da alma: serena, mas ciente do furacão que se pode viver por dentro. A ela se junta Sean O'Dowd (na guitarra solo), Cara Joshi (no baixo) e Fiachra Parslow (na bateria) que ajudam na criação de um ambiente que nos faz entrar numa catarse para também nós lidarmos com as nossas lutas emocionais: “See, it's easy for you. It's easy for you to forget. Because you're not in my head. You're not in my head”, exalta “In My Head”, por exemplo.
“Madra” (a palavra irlandesa para cão) foi apresentado de fio a pavio e demonstrou a evolução sonora da banda que existe desde 2018, explicando na perfeição os concertos lotados na sua tour no Reino Unido e na Irlanda. Porém, na sua estreia em Portugal, Julie quis fazer algo novo e ofereceu-nos uma versão mais intimista de “White Ribbons”: apenas ela e a guitarra, encerrando uma performance que comprova que os voos elevados de NewDad ainda estão apenas a começar.
