Ni-ki as your Boyfriend
pairing Ni-ki x reader! genre fluff warnings not proofread word count 0.6k
Tumblr media
A relationship with Riki feels like dating your best friend. He is so playful around you that unconsciously, he will bring out your inner child. He will make you show the best side of yourself.
He will force you to do TikTok dances with him, and when he comes across a new trend, he will persuade you to do it with him, and after a lot of kisses and praying, you will accept. As the perfectionist dancer Riki is, he will point out that you are doing a step wrong. The good thing is that he will patiently help you master the moves flawlessly. The problem comes when you start recording, and somehow something will go wrong, and I am not talking about the dancing part, but I am talking about falling and injuring a leg or the phone falling and the screen breaking into million pieces.
He playfully pokes your cheeks at unexpected moments throughout the day. He understands that you might find it slightly bothersome, but deep down, he knows you secretly enjoy it. However, if he ever notices someone else, other than him, poking your cheeks, he becomes protective and possessive.
Aggression is his love language (on the good side dw). He will jump and attack you with his love without a second thought, especially if he needs your attention, which is ALWAYS.
Your closet is full of his hoodies and long T-Shirts he has been giving you throughout your relationship. He thinks that is a way to keep a piece of himself within you. The same thing happens the other way around. He steals all of your stuff, sometimes just for the simple pleasure of annoying you. So you know that whenever he comes to your home, he does not leave empty-handed.
He will talk all day about you to his sisters and his mom. You are part of the fam now.
He will randomly spam you with texts and phone calls because he is bored.
He will randomly give you so many kisses and hugs that you almost puke, but it is okay because it is him :)
Daily pecks and hugs are a NECESSITY.
HIS favorite time of the day is when you guys chill and get comfy to watch funny videos on Youtube
He will also send you the most random TikToks throughout the day.
“Y/N!!!!!!!! LOOK AT THIS!!!!"
"PLEASE ANSWER!!!! IF YOU DON'T ANSWER, YOU ARE AN UGLY SNAKE WITH TWO ARMS!!!!"
He has an album on his phone of random and funny pictures of you doing random things. He will 100% use these pictures against you.
He is your biggest hater and biggest defender at the same time ¿?
Your bed is undeniably his most cherished spot on Earth. If he had his way, he would happily remain there all day, only leaving when you insist on going to practice. Whenever he visits you, he spends the whole afternoon in your bed watching series or playing video games with you. He will often say that he loves your bed because of the soft mattress, but in reality, it is because the bed sheets smell just like you, and that brings him that sense of home and comfort that no other place can offer.
He probably has you saved in his phone as “MY ugly little rat” + a funny picture of you
He tends to develop an intense obsession with a particular video game for about a week or so. He insists you download and play the game with him until he falls asleep. He often wins against you, and when he does, he starts jumping and shouting around the place, for later to be chilling on the sofa, saying how he does not overreact to winning because he is a cool guy. Although you mainly end up losing, it's not necessarily because you lack skill, but rather because you willingly let him win. In your eyes, nothing is more beautiful than seeing Riki with a bright smile on his face.
Author's note: This was a request of @czlestiner so hopefully you enjoy it 💗. Take care my loves and do not forget to eat your meals and stay hydrated! Feel free to dm me for any request and comment, like, or repost if you enjoyed it!
-Love, Ela

do you mind sharing a bit more about your analysis of heart,,,
i'd love to!! (i assume this is about the heart critique piece i did a few months ago, but please correct me if im wrong!)
in terms of the "a critique on the treatment of hearts characterization" piece, i wanted to visually explore some frustrations i have had with how the fanbase seems to fall into some unfortunate patterns when it comes to hearts character.
frequently, i see heart infantilized - this either comes across as him being a kicked dog unable to help himself because he is too weak, a baby angel who did nothing wrong, or a feral gremlin child. i think flattening his character down to any/all of these is, for lack of a better word, a bit problematic?
; one reason being it just defeats the idea of emotions being a visceral, intense thing. heart is meant to represent emotion in its purest form; i feel woobifying him takes away from that concept because it shows having emotions as being inherently weaker or less mature. i think a lot of people kinda forget HMS aren't just tv show characters. they represent greater concepts that near everyone feels and feels uniquely - theyre more sensitive than your typical character. thats not saying treating them as characters is bad! everyone relates to them differently because they are so personal, they make them their own and i think thats really awesome!! ; but boiling them down to these really generic tropes and making heart a baby kinda defeats the idea that emotions are a real, visceral, multifaceted concept. ; another reason i think it can be problematic is that it sometimes unintentionally comes across really ableist? a lot of these 'fandom-y' tropes are already rooted in ableism in some way, which is bad on its own, but theres also the important addition that heart is frequently portrayed as blind.
ive seen people time and time again fall into stereotypes with heart that his blindness makes him weak/helpless/childish. truthfully I dont think people do this intentionally, but its still internalized ableism showing up. i recognize that a lot of the people who woobify heart tend to be on the younger side, so they dont really recognize that theyre flattening him down like that- not out of malicious ignorance, but because theyre kids who havent really had the life experience yet to grasp the full concepts of the album or realize they might be implying harmful stereotypes; that doesn't necessarily mean its okay, but i think its just them being uneducated cause theyre kids and they have yet to learn that stuff. ; all that being said, im not trying to police people on how they portray characters. im not any authority on this fandom/album by any means imaginable - im just a fan like everyone else here! like i said before, characterizing HMS is not inherently a bad thing at all ! its fun, and its what this fanbase is built on in the first place! its so great that everyone can interpret and relate to HMS so personally, i think chonny really hit it off with the concept for the album and the execution is stellar! seeing all the fanart and different interpretations of it and the characters is such a beautiful thing, no matter if its joking, lighthearted, or deep! ; at the end of the day, theres no wrong way to interpret this album, and theres no wrong way to characterize heart. more than anything that critique piece was built up frustration turned to a call to action for people to stop and think deeply for a moment about how they portray heart - to open eyes if someone might be unknowingly flattening or adding problematic ideas to their characterizations. and to just be mindful of that going forward! 💜

This is my bias...
Tumblr media
Help me figure out what's happening here... is this the big dick energy I was talking about or just an optical illusion with the mirror?
Tumblr media
Jimin was relaxed and seems like he has certain specific things he wants to accomplish and he's going after it in his usual Jimin-like way. He laughed when talking about what he's been doing and why he's not come to see us live. He said "Do you think I would be doing nothing?" and laughed:
Tumblr media
Our Jiminie, through and through.
He addressed his busted up knuckles several times during the live.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok, here me out... if he's dabbling in martial arts again... what if Jimin is practicing breaking cinderblocks... because I feel like there are a few blockheads out there that need breaking...yes? But seriously, what if...?
One of the things that I love about Jimin is his self-awareness, his humility and his unpretentiousness. About attending the Dior event prior to this live he expresses how he views himself:
Tumblr media
Nervous amongst people in those circles, he says he's a little uncertain and awkward. Though he might feel out of place because of how he views himself, we all know the impact he brings whenever he (or any of the other members) makes an appearance at events like this, no matter how briefly. Fans just want to see him.
One of the things he spoke at length on was how he's been assessing himself, saying it as if stepping back and evaluating what he was doing in a "cold" way, as in clinically critiquing himself.
He said he was able to learn a lot from his Face album activities and promotions and he is improving the way he does things from now on.
He felt like there were a lot of areas where he was lacking and instead of just working on fixing this or that, his mindset is to "start from scratch".
Tumblr media
Looking back at it, the excuses are not acceptable to him... to say he was lazy and didn't practice enough or that equipment malfunctioned.
He heard the antis and the criticisms. I personally want to smash their heads in two but I digress with my violent little thoughts.
In order to feel confident while performing onstage he wants to change the way he approaches things.
Tumblr media
Overall, Jimin seems like he's got his shit together. He knows there's a time crunch...
Tumblr media
😭
He has been thinking how to spend his remaining time with us...
😭
But because he's re-evaluating himself, its taken a long time and I think he's still working on it.
😭
Tumblr media
Other things he's mentioned during this live: he's composing new music, shooting a few things, working out, studying English.
He said if he doesn't force himself to take lessons he won't do it. Same, Jimin, same.
He mentioned that he goes out alone in the middle of the night to run along the Han River and when he does he sees Namjoon:
Tumblr media
There was other stuff on his mind but he wouldn't share it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's been thinking deeply about his future. He is facing his own Chapter 2 (they all are and collectively we are calling this BTS Chapter 2) and he says starting anew is not easy. He's thought a lot about it and still considering how he wants to live his life and future.
You can understand more of his attitude as soon as someone says "Don't forget there are many people cheering for you, Jimin."
His reply is: If there were no people supporting me in my job then there is no need for me to do it.
This is his job. He is the artist. We are the fans. He is not going to forget that there are people cheering for him. He is not worried about fans disappearing as long as he delivers a good product to us.
He is reinventing Park Jimin. And he is taking time to do it and that's why he has not come to see us.
His goal is to change and he's fully confident he can do it. He feels a responsibility as a member of BTS and the man is out to conquer so I say watch out for future Jimin. He just asks for time to make it happen.
Tumblr media
I said in a previous post a while back that Jimin – and the company – are not perfect. Speaking only about Jimin: after Face promotions were over and everyone was criticizing him and the company, I said he will evaluate what he's done and if he sees mistakes, things that could be done differently or better, he will fix them going forward. I told y'all this. This is exactly what he is doing.
He mentions that he cut his hair today... and described how long it was (to his chin) before he cut it and I'm crying. I hope he shot photos or video for something before he cut it so we can see...[cry]
His brief mention about Jungkookie's birthday:
My interpretation of his body language: The wheels are turning as he glances around, he is thinking about everything he knows that Jungkook is up to and matter-of-factly tells us "Jungkook is really busy." (Because I know what he's working on).
"I talked to him on the phone yesterday too." Too as in talked to him today as well since this day of Jimin's live IS JK's birthday.
He pauses a moment, thinking about what they spoke about/what he knows about Jungkook's activities and repeats "he's really busy," glances around again, still thinking about what Jungkook is up to and with an intake of breath and looking directly at us says he hopes Kookie-pookie takes good care of his health. He didn't say Kookie-pookie, that was me saying Kookie-pookie.
We know when Jimin is working intensely that he sometimes overdoes it. This is what Jimin implies when he says "he's really busy" and "I hope he takes care of his health" because Jimin can relate to the intensity of JK's activities.
Then asks us to please send his Jungkookie many birthday wishes.
Taking care of his Jungkookie, as he should.
And ending with his own thought about Jungkook's birthday: "It's a wonderful day, right?"
Awwwww.... so sweet. And then that little smirky smirk that I had to edit off because he smirked for another six seconds until someone else asked him AGAIN about his beat up knuckles.
Does he mean scroll back later after the live and look for his explanation about his scraped up hands or is he saying we'll find out later (in future content) why his hands are all beat up?
Tumblr media
Then he scoops us up AND WALKS THROUGH HIS APARTMENT SJSKSKSKSJKJMOMFGWTFBBQ????!!!!
He's embarrassed his apartment is dirty or he'd show us. Ok, this is ALREADY A DIFFERENT PARK JIMIN.
Tumblr media
My first reaction was NO SHIT, JIMIN! But he meant what he was about to show us was unusual for him. He wanted to show us his solar system mood light (my whole self burst with love for him when he did this).
He's laughing at himself the whole time he's setting it up, telling us his friend made fun of him, a 30 year old man with a mood light.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In bed with Jimin:
Tumblr media
Versus in bed with Jungkook:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is one of the ways I see Jimin transitioning himself. I don't know what the specific catalyst is/was but he's pivoted from being a total privacy freak to now walking around his apartment and showing us various rooms.
Tumblr media
His dad's room when he comes to visit:
Tumblr media
Jungkook has stated how he grew up learning from the members. You can see that he's learned a lot specifically from Jimin. Well, I think it's Jimin's turn to learn from Jungkook how to show another side of himself in this less inhibited way. I don't expect a naked-in-bed live from Jimin anytime soon but just the fact he showed us even a glimpse of his bed:
Tumblr media
And then actually laid down on his bed and did this:
Tumblr media
It's fitting he has a realistic solar system mood light. He was into astronomy in school, right? And as I said in a previous post, it makes sense now why the moons on his back look realistic.
He responded to a few comments and one about his earring, he's wearing one in his left ear but the right one got infected so he took it out.
When asked what his plans were for activities he said this:
Tumblr media
[he said something that translated to "pondering" and I love him]
When asked to show his seven tattoos (behind his ear, his back, left elbow, right elbow, chest, wrist, finger) he said he posted it yesterday and he looked like an anchovy:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That's my bias, a skinny little anchovy with a heart as big as the universe and a smile that rivals the sunniest day.
I just want this man to be happy in his life:
Tumblr media
Jiminie seems to be in control and thriving. I'm excited for him and my heart will break in a billion pieces when he leaves for enlistment. I know I will need to take the day off work (HOW CRAZY IS THAT??)
But sounds like he's going to show us/give us more before he goes and I feel very blessed that this one is my bias.

Can you do the bachelor/ettes with an s/o that is an artist?
-🌙anon
Bachelor/ettes x Artist Farmer
Hi 🌙! Glad to have another emoji anon here! How are things going? Anyways, cute request! Thank you for asking! I think I might have done this before? Maybe. I don't know. Oh well! This mainly focuses on drawing sorry.
Tumblr media
Bachelors:
Sam
Sam loves your art! He always looks over your shoulder when he sees you drawing, so you'll definitely have to take it upon yourself to tell him not to do that if it makes you uncomfortable. He's also going to beg you to design an album cover for him and his band.
Elliott
Elliott would also like to use your artistic skills, this time for his newest book. He can't pay you all too much (unless his previous book becomes a bestseller), but he will shout you whatever you want at the saloon whenever you want. He really appreciates your skill, it reminds him of Leah!
Sebastian
I'm pretty sure his job involves making models, so he'd ask you for some references to copy off of. Really likes to admire your work; spends a lot of time just looking through the pages if he can. If you won't let him he'll respect your boundaries, but will still ask every once in a while.
Harvey
He's not really an artist, so he's really amazed at what you can do! He'd ask you to draw his model airplanes for him (if you want to, of course). Despite his lack of drawing/painting skills, he does appreciate good art, and will set aside some money to go to an art show.
Shane
Shane's drawing skills equate to that of a five-year-old's potato head self-portrait. I mean, art is art, so it's not necessarily bad, but he's not getting recognised for it anytime soon. So when he finds out you're and artist, he gets secretly excited and makes note to try and find out what you've made.
Alex
When he was a kid, he'd get the hose and paint a smiley face on the fence with the water, but that's about all he's done. Actually, he did try to impress a girl with his drawing skills once, but she ended up rejecting him, so he stopped. He asks you to teach him how to do some spaghetti sort of art sometime because he looks at you (no matter what art medium you do) and immediately assumes you'd be a master at pasta art. You're welcome, I guess?
Bachelorettes:
Penny
Please tell me you read the same books as her and please tell me you've made art of the characters; she will fall in love. Since she's a teacher (basically), she does have some skills in art related mediums, but nothing beyond what she needs to teach. She likes sketching characters the most, so she sheepishly shows of her work to you and asks for advice.
Leah
Artist duo, baby! Leah loves your art! She's into sculpting and a bit of painting herself, but recognises any art is art and is totally down to do some with you! You have some fun competitions on trying to draw the other worse and worse each time but still have it look like them. That, or you just set up a vase and chill trying to copy it.
Abigail
Abigail's a decent artist. Again, she only really uses pencil or pen on paper, but has dabbled in digital art through the use of an old game console she had as a kid. You two do that competition thing like Leah, except you purposely try to make each other look worse and worse without any semblance of the original subject. Fun times!
Maru
Maru is a great artist, I think. She does a lot of detailed planning for her inventions and puts a lot of effort into the artwork. You know that car show where the guy draws the finished product in coloured pencil before actually making it? Yeah, like that. Except she doesn't use colour. Anyways, she gets what art's all about and can feel with you when you get that art block.
Emily
She can draw clothes, paint abstract art, and make towers out of dry spaghetti sticks. When she finds out you're an artist, she immediately asks to see what you've done. Emily's very much a believer in 'any art is art as long as you put your soul into it', so she'll always say she loves whatever you make. Not the best for constructive criticism, but great for a pick-me-up when you're feeling low.
Haley
Unlike her sister, Haley has no idea what she's doing. I suppose photography is related to other mediums of art, but the most she's done is draw some hearts on some photos and hung them up on the wall. During her mean phase she pretends not to care, but once she comes out of her shell she really takes an interest in it! She tries to copy your art but doesn't do so well.
-~-~-
Hello. Long time no see. I make a second account since I was tired of this one being my main aha. Anyways, I'll be back (hopefully) for a little while now. Bye-bye!

Famous Baby (blurb)
the cover
“So what do you think?” You held your breath waiting for Justin’s reply.
You were back in Toronto for a few days to record and write with Justin. You took advantage of the break you took to choose an album cover.
“I like them all a lot.” He replied without hesitation, “But this one’s my favorite.” He pointed toward the cover option in the middle.
“That’s my favorite too. I think it captures the album perfectly, but it’s subtle.” You gush excited about your latest project. This new album had been in the making for a while, but you wanted it to be perfect before releasing it.
“It’s just a cover, it can’t be that deep.” Auston pipped up from his spot on the couch. He didn’t take the time to look away from the TV, not wanting to miss a second of the game that was playing.
“Does he not have his own home?” You questioned to no one in particular, refusing to even look in his direction.
“What about you?” He fired back, “You’re always here.”
“Yeah, I actually own two homes.”
“So which one is your boyfriend in?” When Auston lacked a comeback his easiest option was to point out your lack of a partner.
“The same one your girlfriends in.” It was a weak comeback, you’d admit, but one thing you hated more than Austons presence was him getting the last word.
Auston was unfazed and instead sat up and moved closer to look at the options displayed on the table in front of the couch.
“I think this one’s the best.” He pointed toward the option on the left, a close second in your mind, not that you’d ever admit at one point it was also your favorite.
“Your opinion doesn’t matter, next please.” You look towards Hailey who was laughing watching the two of you.
“Whenever this one flops just remember me saying I liked the other one better” Auston moved back to his spot.
“You never cross my mind.”
You spent the next hour writing with the help of Justin. With him and Hailey bouncing back and forth between Toronto and LA often you both weren’t in the same place at the same time. So you wanted to take advantage of his gift while you had the chance.
It was nearing 7:00 o’clock when Auston let out a loud sigh before standing up from the couch.
“The boys and their girls are gonna go out tonight, if you guys want to join?” Auston lifted his arms above his head, stretching. You watched as his shirt lifted slightly showing off his abdomen. You quickly looked away, annoyed with yourself for even noticing.
“Sure!” Hailey excitedly responded for the both of them.
“(Y/N), you can join too if you aren’t too cool for us.”
“I’ll always be too cool for you.”
“I forgot your status might make it too difficult.” Auston mocked. The last time he visited Justin and Hailey in LA you turned down an evening out with them not wanting to deal with paparazzi.
Auston refused to believe you were too famous that you couldn’t even go out with your friends without paparazzi or fans showing up.
“I’ll come.” You stood up from the couch, an attempt to even out the playing field, but Auston’s height didn’t allow for that. “But wear a good outfit, everyone loves taking pictures.”
“I always look good for the camera.” Auston smirked down at you.

A long over-due ask compilation (Art & Music)
Tumblr media
It's vaguely based on a short story from the book "The Consumer" by Michael Gira, specifically "The Boss". I think it came up in conversation with a friend or something when I was picking a new username, so that's how we arrived at it - this was almost a decade ago so, my memory on it is a little hazy!
{MORE UNDER THE CUT]
Tumblr media
HAHA thank you so much!!! Glad you enjoy what I do 😎🍻
I BELIEVE this little guide I put together over here might be helpful to you, also! I touched on pretty much everything you brought up.
As for reference material when it comes to facial expressions, I have a mirror next to my desk which I glance at often and make weird faces at LOL and for consistency, it's really a matter of learning to dissect and remember facial structure. It's just something you end up developing an eye for when you've done it for long enough! Naturally, if we're talking about drawing existing characters, it's always helpful to just look at some pictures of their mugs and take a minute to define what features about them make their faces recognizable - I touch on this at the link above as well!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I do plan on making a "drowstarion" (love that, by the way LOL) playlist eventually, life's just been kicking my ass and I hardly have the time 😭and when I do, I just wanna draw.
Otherwise I don't have any other playlists floating around at the moment, BUT the one my boyfriend made for his Vellioth comic can be found here, and it might scratch a similar itch!
Tumblr media
Thank you! I believe this was in reference to this post. Something like that takes me about... An hour??? If we're talking just the colors, at least. Though that's a really rough estimate because I take a lot of breaks, so my sense of time when I work ends up pretty skewed. Even if the application of the colors themselves took less than 20 minutes I probably spent 2 hours just staring at it LOL.
Tumblr media
My friend, I have no idea. I'm in a constant battle between "I want to draw more realistically" and "I want to simplify my art so I can draw more/faster". What you see is the result of that ongoing brain-tug-of-war.
Also, just the way I assume everyone else develops theirs - they see stuff they like and emulate it until their art is Frankensteinish enough to be it's own unique thing!
Tumblr media
I'm far from a Type O Negative buff, BUT I'm happy to share some of my favorites with you! They're quite scattered across a couple of their albums so I'm not sure I have a favorite, but I would say October Rust is a good starting point.
In no particular order, these are my most listened tracks of theirs: -Love You to Death -Black N.01 -Haunted -She Burned Me Down -Can't Lose You -I Don't Wanna Be Me -Be My Druidess -September Sun -Tripping A Blind Man
Tumblr media
Alas, I was one of those people who was already drawing in kindergarten 😅 though I would say I only started taking it seriously when I was around 15-16 years old. As someone who has tried their hand at several other hobbies since reaching adulthood, I get what you're saying that it can kinda feel like... You missed the wagon? I've felt that way about all kind of things lol
That said, I've seen adults managing to develop their art skills extremely fast and effectively before. Understanding where and how you need to improve, and how to follow lessons/guides best is something that is vastly improved by maturity and knowing how to best hone your time, attention, and resources - and those are skills we completely lack as children. So, I sincerely believe that as long as you commit yourself, you can definitely get to a point that you're happy with in a couple of years if not less.
Tumblr media
JUST DO IT BUDDY we are all just people looking through a screen and you won't ever see, talk, or meet 99% of the folks who ever clap eyes on what you post. Whenever you start getting nervous about sharing something, take a minute to ask yourself why you're nervous, and if none of the reasons have any genuine substance besides being afraid of what people "might think", just go ahead and post it. You're no mind-reader after all, and if you are, I doubt you can hear what a guy from Argentina or wherever is thinking about the art you made.
Point is, nobody online can touch you 🤷and if someone doesn't like what you do, they can simply choose to not interact with it, and if they do you can block and move on. There are zero reasons for you to feel "bad" about putting up a doodle when our experiences on the web are so easily curated nowadays.

I finally rewatched Queen of Tears Episode 16.
Its given me a lot of clarity on why I didn't like it all that much. The episode feels very filler like, reiterating what I already know, no development nothing to draw me in. So here's a list of thing I really like vs things I had beef with: 
The Good:
- Hyunwoo's understanding of what marriage is is very profound and beautiful. Really appreciate that bit.
- The employees in this corporate sector have been 10/10 throughout. I cannot with how much I love them to bits. Still not over 'I just want to see the rich argue' 😭😂
- Yangi's bond with Hyunwoo is absolutely 10/10 
- I like Haein trying to find the reason of their divorce. It's important for her cause why did two people who love each other want to divorce each other. But again I hate how this wasn't a main cause of comcern around epsidoe 7. Like don't brush over it fam. Don't you wanna know why the man you love and who loved you to bits wanted to divorce you?
- Those last 7-8 mins. Though I wish I had more of them. I needed a linear passing of time. Something like the Germany Montage at the start would've been perfect. But at the very end just 'Way home' playing, Hyunwoo seeing Haein as an angel to pick him up, the familiar happiness and love just spreading around them was beautiful to witness. Really got me teary eyed both times I watched it. 
The Bad: 
- I'm not even getting into the uselessness and bad execution of the whole Yoon Eun Sung plot line since episode 14. 
- Still have no idea why Mol Soo Hee she wanted Suwan dead? Like there's no rationale? Why not kill Hae-in or SeoCheol in all those 20 years as well? It makes no sense to me.
- the episode felt so unnecessarily dramatic. I get it he got shot and was in a car accident but I was so sure he'd be okay? Did not understand or appreciate the over dramaticness also those Yangi shots in that sequence were a little tooo dramatic for me
- I don't like Haein getting back her memories cause they said the hippocampus would be destroyed. It's my fault for looking for logic in the first place but can we please stick to what we established writernim. Also wasn't this the whole problem that she's not getting back ANY memories EVER?!
- The scene between the mothers at this point was also unnecessary. We could've gotten to this realization back in the episode this was brought up the first time. She knew the location and date I don't see how reviewing her album was the light bulb moment.
- I feel super bad for this one but for me even Hae-in's bedside speech, once Hyunwoo woke up, lacked sincerity. As much as she might realize she loves him. He's still a stranger. Who does she miss? Her husband who's love she has no recollection of? The man she loved but she has no idea how she loved him? Take out the loss of memories and it would've hit me like a truck. Like she's not even holding his hand as she waits cause she recently met him. What am supposed to cry over here? What could've been? The pre ep 15 Baekhong I dearly misssed at this point?
- More on the Hyunwoo hospital scene. When he says 'I had forgotten' As sweet as it is I already knew all of it. It was so ill placed I didn't have to see it here.  Also like what does she care? She doesn't remember if you forgot or not in the first place 💀
- The Yangi x Haeina acene in the hospital - what notebook are we talking about? Did I miss something? Did I fall asleep somewhere like what?! Also I feally do like Yangi but I thought all of the scenes with him were kinda forced this episode.
- The conversations where Haein tells Hyunwoo he's perfect. Is it just me or is Haein extremely expressive after the surgery? I can never imagine Haein telling Hyunwoo that he's perfect even if she think so. It was a little off putting for me being introduced to this new character in the last episode. I miss my inexpressible power girl.
- Just the voice over off what happened with Mol Soo Hee would've sufficed but I guess we had to see that SNU degree in action. 
- The turn in Da hye's emotion - as sweet as it was also felt forced. They just showed me earlier she didn't care for him and bullied him. Now you want me to belive she mistook her feeling okay sureeee 🙃
- This is what meant by killing the temperment. They start Hyunwoo's monolougue 'We forgave those who we used to resent and then we cut to this long scene of Aunt Beom ja. Then we have Hyunwoo, then we have his brother's scene. The editing was off here. I wish we had a monologue of just them. It all threw me off so much.
And here's why a sequence of Baekhong was so necessary cause remember the first episode we instantly fall in love and get curious because of that lovely montage of BaekHong Germany scenes. 
All in all good ending, horrible last two epsiode. Kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. It makes me long so much for the show I saw and fell in love with before. I have never felt this way about a last episode, I think I just expected better from this show.

I’m not good with questions but
Could you possibly talk about Viscera? I don’t have anything specific but I love the concept that he’s a Whole in a Soul’s place
-🛩️
VISCERA.
Very long ramble under the cut
He is really my most under-spoken-on character here...which is odd because he is by far one of my favorite / more complex ones!
Vis is in his concept, Whole in Soul's place. I think in the album now, he reflects Soul very well in the idea of being the shell. Though this is mainly because Whole isn't really a character and Soul is the implied shell of what we think of as Whole in concept.. The casing, the iron maiden for Mind and Heart to be held within!!! (there is a reason his name was almost Body ig.. thank god CJ reconsidered tho. Body is kinda an awkward name/title.)
Anyways.
Vis is a hollowed out husk of what is supposed to be somebody. Soul is some form of throughline to Mind and Heart. A connector, an adaptor. Viscera is simply not this. He is a vacancy because he is fundamentally nothing. Meant to be someone, torn from his purpose and placed promptly in the spot of what would typically be his identity.
Sooo Viscera struggles to be much of anybody. In this, and through the hundreds of loops he endures due to Astray (Soul as Whole) and his inability to really, of course, be a person when he is meant to just be one facet of someone, Vis remembers everything.
It was a commonly shared idea that Soul is able to choose to remember or forget during loops. Swap Au explores this concept in that Astray explicitly is the reason Judge (Heart as Mind) and Ennui (Mind as Heart) forget alongside himself. Vis, as Whole yet not knowing it, remembers all of this context (though from his own point of view. So he does not know Astray /well/ really. But he feels for him in terms of knowing the panic that comes with having split down to three again.)
Vis is kind and gentle and cares very very much for his thirds, or rather his ids and his Whole as he sees them. He reminds Ennui and Judge of their names and his own every loop, and though things change during loops, and no timeline is entirely consistent, there are throughlines and thus predictability. So he can navigate it just as well.
Viscera is interesting in juxtaposition to Eleutheromania Soul who remembers his loops though Mind and Heart forget just the same. Yet their reactions and handling of the situations are fundamentally different. Though this is due to their roles and the treatment they get in their respective Psyche and by their respective versions of a Whole or Soul.
... But yes. Vis is. deeply longing to be complete in some way. He is unsure always of his emptiness and what might fill it, but never loses this inkling that being Whole is.. what he needs. And in some way, it is and is not that!
He also speaks in intense amounts of prose and roundabout allegories, symbolism, and metaphors. It was more a quirk of his character to make him distinct from how my other's spoke, but I think it also calls to the deeper idea of the way fragmented thoughts put together can be a little outlandish and nonsensical but.. make perfect sense to you in some way. Or something like that.
He also, moves very slowly and takes a lot of time to do things. Like an old window's computer. He needs time to process information!! And I attribute this also to his emptiness and lack of anything but memory as it is all he has in the moment to base what should be his feelings and thoughts on.
^ Though despite that sounding like he cannot feel or think or anything, it is more like trying to make sure he feels like himself? even though realistically Viscera very deeply struggles with that idea. Not that he'd say it ever. Vis is incredibly genuine, though. He does what he can to ensure the safety of others including his ids and they in turn do the same to him.
The Swap Au really makes for a VERY interesting person to look at due to characterization. Someone who is unstable but trying, and through all their struggles remains loving and warm. That is who Astray could be, who Vis essentially is and what Judge and Ennui contribute too.
Also he smells perpetually like citrus. I do not know why but I made it canonical that all four of them have distinct smells to them and the things they summon. Perhaps they are all just very scent oriented.
Also-Also in terms of my other Aus and Sources as a concept for HMS. Of which I can elaborate on ig? if need be! Viscera has no source...................... it is a black voided little pit or hole there instead.
If Soul's source is a star, then Viscera's became a sort of blackhole. I suppose.

Funny Seeing You Here Part 2
Tumblr media
AN: Jackman didn't know what he had until he lost it, also this takes place during the TWTAS era and Funny Seeing You Here is a bonus track that was not on the album
Synopsis: After learning that your boyfriend cheated on you multiple times and Urban covering for him, you realized that you deserve better. However, one person might bring the two of you back together
Pairing: Ex-boyfriend!Jack Harlow x Ex-girlfriend!Reader
Read part 1 first
Thank you @mortirolo​ for helping me 😘
Please Do Not Repost My Content Anywhere
Time felt like it had been moving in slow motion with everything that happened.
The person that you would have done anything for cheated on you and acted as if you didn’t mean anything to him.
While someone you considered to be a brother was covering for him and tried to make sure that he didn’t get caught by you.
It took some time, but you were better.
Not great, but better.
Once you had gotten back home, you immediately packed up all of you belongings and there was no trace left of you in the apartment that you once shared with them.
It was easy for you to disappear and cut off ties to anyone who was associated with Jack but with Urban as well.
You blocked all of their numbers, deleted your social media accounts, and moved to a whole new state.
You admit that it was hard leaving Kentucky because it was all that you have ever known, but there were too many places that served as memories to happy times that you had with him.
Happy times that you knew were a thing of the past.
The entire care ride home after catching him, your phone didn’t stop ringing between both him and Urban calling you.
You ignored them each time and meant it when you said that you didn’t want them to talk to you for as long as they lived.
Jack cheating on you obviously hurt, but a whole different level of hurt was added when Urban was now involved.
Urban was your godbrother and he would protect you at all costs and look out for you and you felt that there was no coming back from this level of betrayal.
You would think that Urban would have told you, but you had lost enough sleep going over the multiple scenarios in your head.
You had been back home in Kentucky for a few days and you had promised one of your really good friends, Blanca, that you would stay with her and go to her birthday dinner.
This was your first time being back in 7 months and you honestly didn’t know how to feel.
You avoided or tried to avoid every single place that reminded you of him.
Which was basically impossible.
“Hey, you almost ready to go?” Blanca asked walking into the guest bedroom where you were staying. You were trying to decide on what to wear seeing as a lot of your favorite clothes didn’t quite fit how they used to anymore.
“Almost, I think I’ll go with this black one with my pink cardigan over it and my ballerina flats. The heels are definitely a no go for the night.”
“That’ll be cute. I can help you with your hair too.”
Blanca was shifting her weight back and forth in the doorway and you immediately knew that something was on her mind.
“Out with it, Blanca. You hover when you have something to tell me and usually it’s something that I’m not going to like.”
“I… I would have told you before you came back but I knew if I did, that you wouldn’t have and I missed you.”
“Blanca….”
“I invited Jack and Urban.”
Silence.
“Y/N, please. They’re my friends too. And you never even told me what happened.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Obviously it does because of the look on your face. I can’t help if you don’t tell me what happened between the two of you. Like, Jack and Urban basically turned Kentucky upside down looking for you after he came back and the tour was over. I obviously didn’t say anything and knew you needed time for yourself.”
“I’ll tell you tomorrow. I’m not going to have you focus on other things on your birthday. We need to be celebrating you and not worrying about my love life or lack there of.” Just then Blanca’s dog Panchito came to hop up and lay across your lap.
“You are literally the only person that this dog likes. He doesn’t even like me.”
“I have the magic touch I guess.”
“But you are telling me tomorrow and there is no way that you’re getting out of it.”
You simply sighed before trying to slip on your cardigan with Panchito still in your lap.
“Y/N, my goddaughter deserves to know her father, don’t you think?” Blanca asked as she looked down at your protruding stomach as you rested your right hand on top of it.
“I guess you’re right.”
It was around eight and you and Blanca had just arrived at the restaurant. You already couldn’t wait to sit down because your feet were killing you even though you decided to wear flats. Everyone met in the lobby area before Blanca spoke to the hostess to let her know that everyone was here and that all of you were ready to be seated. 
Jack and Urban didn’t even recognize you
Maybe it was the hair
It was a completely different color and a lot shorter
Once you made your way to the table, someone decided to take it upon themselves and be polite and pull out your chair for you
No one other than Jack himself
He looked up at you and did a double take
“Y/N?”
“In the flesh, thank you.” You said as he helped you to scoot in the chair to get as close to the table as your stomach would allow.
“Um, no problem. It’s uh good to see you.”
“Hmm, I’m sure it is.”
As you and Blanca were discussing the menu and she was trying to make sure that you got something healthy for you and your little one, Urban sent a text to Jack.
Urb- is that? Is that HER?!?
Jack- yes, she looks amazing and um is she dating anyone?
Urb- How am I supposed to know? She cut me off just like she did you but umm…
Jack- What?
Urb- Come on don’t make me say it
Jack- I’m confused
Urb- THAT IS YOUR BABY THAT SHE’S PREGNANT WITH, HOW CAN IT NOT BE? SHE LOOKS TOO FAR ALONG AND WHAT WE HAVEN’T SEEN HER IN ALMOST 7 MONTHS?
Jack-......
Just then all of the color drained from Jack’s face as he looked over at you, back at your stomach, and back to Urban who shook his head.
“Y/N, it’s good to see you.” Urban said while finally getting enough courage to speak to you. 
“You too, Urban.”
“So umm, Y/N, when did you get back to Louisville?”
You glanced up from your strawberry lemonade to look at him.
“About a week ago.”
“And you weren’t even going to tell me?”
“Tell you for what, Jack? It’s not like we talk often or at all for that matter.”
“I just thought…. I don’t know because we would both be here tonight and maybe you wanted to talk beforehand?”
“I didn’t know you would be here until me and Blanca were about to get in the car. But I should have known since I know the two of you are close with her too.”
“Well, how have you been? I see you’re um very pregnant. You look amazing by the way.” Jack literally couldn’t believe it was you sitting next to him. 
“I’ve been fine and thank you.”
“And you’re wearing that perfume I bought you too.”
“It’s my favorite so I figured why not?”
“I’m honestly surprised that you still have it.”
“Why?”
“Well…. You know…”
“The perfume did nothing to me, but on the other hand you did so I got rid of the one that hurt me.”
“And I’m sorry for that.”
“Jack, not now.”
“Then when?”
“We are here to celebrate Blanca. This is her night and we aren’t going to talk about whatever went on between us.”
“But I… okay just one question.”
“What?”
“I don’t see a wedding ring on your finger and…”
“Jackman, it's been seven months.”
“That doesn’t mean anything. People meet and get married in like a week. But who are you talking to now?”
“Why is that any of your business?”
“Because I want to make things right if you give me a chance.”
“Jack…..”
“Y/N… look I didn’t realize what I had until I lost it and I need to fix this.”
“What if I don’t want it to be fixed?” You asked as Jack’s appetizer of mozzarella sticks were placed on the table, without even thinking, he placed a few in front of you.
That was always the thing between the two of you.
Didn’t matter where you would go out to eat, you always ordered mozzarella sticks and shared them.
Without realizing what he had done until you looked at him and he got wide eyes.
“Oh, I just thought…”
“I know, and thank you. It’s been awhile since I had some so I see old habits die hard.”
“How’s your sister? Your niece? Is she still crying a lot?”
“They’re both fine. She doesn’t cry as much anymore, she was getting spoiled and we needed to break her out of it.”
Just then you felt yourself getting overwhelmed and promptly pushed yourself away from the table, Blanca looked over at you in concern.
“Hey, you okay?”
“I’m fine, I just did some fresh air, that’s all.”
“I’ll go with her.” Jack immediately piped up and followed you outside, once the cool crisp night air hit your face, you felt as though you could breathe again.
“You okay?” Jack asked, concerned.
“I’m fine, thank you.”
“Um, I have another question.”
“Seems like you’re full of them tonight.”
“How far along are you?”
Oh, shit.
“Why do you ask?”
“I’m just curious, Y/N.”
Silence.
“The baby is mine, isn’t it?”
Silence.
“Y/N, answer me.”
“Yes.”
“And you weren’t even going to tell me?!”
“I was ready to raise her by myself because of what you did to me. I found out after I had gotten back and I wanted nothing to do with you. Even her fucking sonogram pictures, she looks like you and no matter how much I tried to get away from you, nothing worked.”
“That isn’t an excuse! So, you were just going to keep her from me?”
“No! Well….. I don’t know!”
“You don’t know?!”
“Look, you know now and you can do whatever you want with that information.”
“I want to raise her with you!”
“I’m not moving back to Louisville so you can get rid of that idea immediately.”
“Why not? That’s what we talked about!”
“We talked about that before you fucking cheated on me and Urban covered for you!”
Just then Jack’s eyes went wide and you turned around to see that you were now face to face with Blanca who wanted to come and check on the both of you. From the look on her face, you knew that she had heard and that she was about to kill the both of them.
“Blanca….” Jack softly said and she was shooting literal daggers at him.
“You cheated on her? And Urban covered for you?”
“Umm…”
“You are such an asshole! No wonder why she ran away from here and literally begged for me not to tell you where she was!”
“YOU KNEW WHERE SHE WAS THIS WHOLE TIME?!”
“Of course I knew! But she never told me what your dumbass did!”
“Blanca, come on, let's just go back inside.” You were pleading with her. 
“Nah, I’m about to go get Panchito and let him have his way with both of their asses! Like how fucking dare you!”
“Well, how dare you not tell me that she was pregnant with my kid!”
“Cut the shit, Jackman! That was not my place! Looks like I did a good job with protecting her from your toxic ass!”
Just then Urban came outside to see what was going on between the three of you.
“What’s going on?” He curiously asked.
“Y/N is pregnant with my baby and Blanca knew where she was the entire time.”
“And I don’t regret hiding it. Urban, I’m about to kill you too. That’s your got damn godsister. Does that not mean anything to you?”
“It does….”
“Obviously it didn’t. I see why she didn’t want to be around either of you. All I’m going to say is Jack you better take care of my goddaughter or else and Urban you have a lot of making up to do for her to forgive you. I’m going back inside and I just….. Y/N… baby I am so sorry that you got knocked up by him.”
“BLANCA!”
“Jack, I will let Panchito loose on you. I said what I said. I’ll let you be adults and work it out, but if Y/N comes back in there crying, I am killing both of you.”
Once Blanca had gone back inside, there was an awkward silence between all three of you.
“Look, I just want her to be taken care of.”
“And I’ll do that. I’ll take care of both of you.”
“But, I can’t trust you, Jack.”
You were now back home in Savannah, Georgia and had been for about a week.
You honestly didn’t know how to feel and was taking it one step at a time
Phone numbers had been unblocked and communication was beginning to happen like it was before when you two had first started dating
You wanted the best for your daughter, but you weren’t sure if you were willing to open up your heart back to him
Does he deserve a second chance?
Just then Blanca sent you a text and you quickly opened it to read it
Blanca- Jack wrote a song about you
You- What?
All Blanca did was send a link for you to listen to it and you eagerly clicked it
I know you hate the way we drifted
But we both decide this party and we lived it
So what's up?
I'ma sip my drink and crack a big smile
Just to see if I can still get you 'cause it's been a while, yeah
It's been a minute now
Your friend just started listening to my music but I been in style
You say that I play too much but we both know I been a child
Asked you when you got to town
You say that you been in town, it's fucked up
So you just wasn't gon' hit me?
Lookin' like this, she thought it wasn't gon' tempt me
I'm sorry but you ain't gotta Barbie up
You should come and step into my world just like Narnia
I wouldn't do no harm to you
Come on, let's find a quiet spot
How's your sister and your niece? Does she still cry a lot?
Who you talkin' to now? Are y'all 'bout to tie a knot?
Hope not, speak now, hold yo' peace, I will make that show stop
Remember back when I would come and spend the night at yo' house
Wake up by myself in bed 'cause you be at the stove top
Walk inside the kitchen put my hands up, let me stop
Please excuse me, I know these are heavy thoughts
A man's greed can't see the things that he's already got
Fucked it up between us 'cause I wanted you and every thot
Things would only worsen when you left me rock
Your bestie tried to warn you but you told her that, "He said he stopped"
He used to say her man was trash and tell me 'bout the way he'd act
I would shake my head until I realized I'm the same as that
Now I wonder, did she tell her man that I'm a trash dude?
And would he shake his head until he realized he was trash too?
I know this reunion's unexpected, but it's past due
At least if you ask me, I won't ask you
So what you 'bout to do?
I know you hate the way we drifted
But we both decide this party and we lived it
So what's up?
Just then your phone went off indicating that Jack was calling you.
“Hello?”

Zodiac Signs Most Likely to Get RICH and FAMOUS
Yeah, we all want to be those. Rich and famous sounds like THE lifestyle to have. Unfortunately, that too is reserved to some Zodiac signs that fit the bill perfectly.
That’s not to mean that you can’t get rich and famous if you’re not on this list, you could always be the next Silicon Valley millionaire. Only you’ve got more circumstantial chances if you do find yourself on this list. Due to their motivations, overall stubbornness and ambition or overall lack of empathy to the workers they’re exploiting, these are the four Zodiac signs that are most likely to become millionaires. By any means necessary. #1. Taurus
No surprise here. While Taurus is known to be the sleepyhead, stubborn, hungry little hippo, Tauruses comprise a lot of the world’s richest persons. That’s because you need money to be able to nap a lot and eat a lot, which means they are more incentivized than the rest of us to build an empire. Taurus is ruled by Venus, which is not only the planet of love, but also the planet of luxury, enjoying life, expensive things, and overall money. This means that a Taurus is born with a love for the boujee, and a bigger chance than anyone to actually get that bag, no matter what. And it’s not just their innate luck, either. Apart from being couch potato hedonists, Taureans are actually quite hard-working, well organized and very ambitious.
That luxe lifestyle has to be supported by something, so that’s when their ambition kicks into high gear and has them working hard (and resting hard). In this aspect, you could consider a Taurus a more chilled out Capricorn.
#2. Aquarius
Well, this might surprise some people. You would not want to believe that humanitarian Aquarius cares so much about material gains. They’d much rather collect dead animal bones in the forest and do crazy eyeliner looks on themselves.
But their out-of-this-world (as they call it) personalities do really well in the workforce. That’s cause they are not focused on the end goal of making money, but rather having fun and helping society. And you can’t actually help humanity if you’re dirt poor, so sacrifices must be made. Being such oddballs, fame can come quite easily for an Aquarius. Not only are they interesting, but their innate ability to just turn off their emotions and convey whatever they want is quite useful for the public eye. And for being serial killers, but that’s not what we’re talking about today. They are also the most likely to get into witchcraft, so that can certainly be a massive advantage over other, more practical signs. If spiritual entities older than the Earth itself now want for crazy Aquarius Tina to be a wildly successful movie star, who are we to say no?
#3. Capricon
A Cap might not get famous for their wild bangers music album, but they will certainly climb on top of the corporate ladder during their lives. Have you seen their work ethic? Have you experienced a Capricon in a group project?
Not only are they used to carrying dead weight (looking at you, Cancer), but they will actually go above and beyond to ensure that what they’re delivering is the best. No exceptions.
A Capricorn will race anyone to the top and if by any chance, at one point they will lose the lead, they will bite ankles to return to the podium.
There’s no exception. A Capricon will sell their soul to get to the top then use their money and overall persuasion tactics to buy it right back from the devil.
Do not mess with these guys. Even if they’re the nerds now, they will probably be the ones you will work for in the future. You, your parents, friends, pizza delivery guy, mechanic, boyfriend, dog and your favourite celebrities. Your fairy godmother. Jeff Bezos is a Capricon.
#4. Virgo Finishing up with the nerds of the Zodiac, of course, Virgos have massive chances of being rich. Famous? Who knows? I bet they don’t actually care, anyway. They just want that cold, hard cash, for their cold, hard hearts.
Whether this means working their friends for all they got or working themselves into an early grave, a Virgo won’t be satisfied until they run multiple businesses, invest everything they’ve got into crypto and the stock market, then steal candy from babies to top off their fortunes. Their stellar organizational skills and their sheer determination to prove, once and for all, that they are the best at all they do will translate into a pretty sizeable fortune. To this, you would probably want to say: “hey Virgo, can you just stop and smell the flowers for a second?”
The reply to that will invariably be Virgo buying a ticket to a botanical garden, taking the most advantageous route through it that allows them to smell all the flowers in the shortest amount of time, then ordering a Flower Smelling Champion trophy for their office.

i’m making my own post about the LS Dunes twitter drama because i have a LOT of thoughts.
the hate that LS Dunes is receiving on twitter is some of the most unfair bullshit i’ve ever witnessed within this fandom. if you’re not like me and you keep away from toxic places like dunestwt, good for you, but you also might be unaware of some of the things this band is facing at the moment. let me break it down. a full history and my own take. (there’s an entire fucking essay after the cut) <3
the internet blew up when the AI scandal happened. people who had never even heard or cared about LS Dunes before suddenly had fully formed opinions and were flooding Dunes’ comment sections and Anthony Green’s DMs. when this happened, trust me when i tell you that NO ONE was on LS Dunes’ side entirely. even us who were and still are fully a part of the fandom were disappointed in them. it was a horrible idea, lacking research and insight. something they probably had to double down on due to contracts that made them release the video despite the backlash. but do you know what the fans did? we didn’t watch the video. that’s it. it’s that simple. however, there were some individuals who decided that an appropriate response was sending death threats to Anthony Green. i think i speak for all of us Dunes fans who say to that; fuck you. that is the lowest low anyone could’ve gone to and anyone who messaged him that, you should be ashamed of yourself.
when all of the sudden this cool new band that had a smaller fandom compared to that of MCR, Thursday, Circa, and Coheed, got shoved under a spotlight that opened the floor for apparently anyone to say whatever they wanted to the members of Dunes, fans of My Chem especially were now paying attention to Frank Iero, despite never having cared about his projects outside of MCR before. He was under a microscope, just waiting for him to say something about Anthony or about AI. When he finally was spotted active online, it was in the comment section of his friend's Instagram post. This is where the irrational anger and hatred began, when the screenshots were shared all over twitter and labeled Frank as antisemetic. something that would've been a harmless joke if Frank wasn't already in that AI spotlight, now it fans the flames.
after that, most of us moved on. the small community of angry people on twitter, however, did not. if you remember earlier this year, there was a group of people who decided that Frank Iero was "cheating" on MCR due to the fact that he plugged both the MCR Australian tour and the LS Dunes California show in the same instagram post. essentially, this only escalated. there are people on twitter who genuinely believe that Frank is single-handedly preventing the production of MCR's fifth studio album due to his dedication to LS Dunes. as if Dunes didn't function as a band that worked around the members' schedules, assuring that an LS Dunes tour never collided with the touring or recording of MCR, Thursday, Saosin, Coheed, etc. etc. do you actually, genuinely believe that Gerard, Ray, and Mikey are currently sitting in a recording studio in Los Angeles, just waiting for sweet sweet Frankie to stop touring and return to them in Cali so they can FINALLY record MCR5? obviously Gee, Ray, and Mikey have NOTHING else to do in their lives and Frank is totally just destroying everything by using his free time to make amazing music with LS Dunes.
LS Dunes is a band of 5 dorky dads who, guess what? already have money! they have bands that are HUGE in the scene. LS Dunes exists because Tucker, Tim, Anthony, Frank, and Travis LOVE doing it! so yes, sometimes the band pulls funny stunts because they can do whatever they want. like selling vip tickets for a fucking pizza party. there is literally nothing harmful about Dunes wanting to hang with a few of their fans who are willing to pay to eat pizza with them. if you go to twitter, this will be one of the many many things that people are angry about. why? because they have NOTHING else to be mad at. all they know is that they want to be angry at Dunes and to be angry at Frank because they don't have MCR5 yet. however, when they can't find anything to be mad about, i guess it means we can be mad at pizza?
finally. the very recent video that is still circling. the video that was posted by one user and then immediately was thrown into a completely different context than anyone had intended in the first place. the video in question is LS Dunes on tour with PTV, between songs on their set with Anthony chatting up the audience. now, i'm not sure about y'all, but i would say that if Anthony in any way has seen the kind of shit people say about him on twitter, he would have every right to distance himself. i would say that for anyone. the internet is a horrific place where you can get attacked and insulted for pretty much anything. Anthony knows this, and he knows what kind of effect that can have on someone's mental health. believe it or not, Anthony cares about his fans and their mental health, too. so, as a word of advice, he told this particular crowd that it was okay to stop and take a break for a few days. it was okay to put a pause on constantly having to respond to anything and everything going on in the world. because if you don't take a break, you're hurting yourself. you will burn out. and no one wants that. Anthony doesn't want that. in the heat of a rockin LS Dunes set, Anthony tells his crowd "don't post political shit". lets be real, politics is one of the MOST emotionally draining things online.
now, what does the angry twitter mob say about Anthony advising people to take care of themselves? why, they make it out to seem like Anthony was spreading hate for real world tragedies and bluntly stating that he didn't give a shit about the state of the world!!!! because of COURSE thats what you got out of that!!!!!
it isn't JUST that Anthony and Dunes are getting unnecessary hate thrown at them, it's the gleeful attitude that people on twitter have when talking shit about this band. as if its okay. as if its justified and NORMAL to beat down musicians like this. (and it's not just twitter. i see the dunes haters on tumblr too. i see you. and i hope if you're reading this it means you'll take some time to re-evaluate). the main problem i run into with this attitude is that i have noticed that the people who complain on twitter are JUST on twitter, and they do not see the LOVE and the SUPPORT that Dunes has from their real fans. in their minds, EVERYONE thinks like them, so that must mean EVERYONE has decided to take a fat shit on LS Dunes. i just want them to zoom out. zoom out of your twitter circle and realize that there are real things to worry about than trying to make Anthony Green look like a villain.
if you feel the need to spread lies and hate about the members of LS Dunes, send threats or nasty messages to them and their families, and boo them off stage at the PTV tour, and yet you STILL have the audacity to consider yourself an MCR fan, take a look at yourself in the mirror. still don't see it? fine. you may not see where you're wrong, but i know Gerard, Ray, and Mikey would. you can't consider yourself an MCR fan and continue to shred apart the livelihood of 1/4 of the band.
you don't have to love LS Dunes. hell. you dont even have to LIKE LS Dunes. i would never shut you down when you share your opinions that LS Dunes' music isnt for you. the music you love/hate is for you and you only. what i WILL shut you down for is nonsensical hate against the PEOPLE who make the music.
my name is J, LS Dunes is my favourite band in the whole damn world. they saved my life, and Anthony Green continues to save my life every god damn day. clearly, i am passionate about it. if you read this far i am fucking amazed, but i hope you learned something. my asks are always open.

Corazón,
I won’t go AWOL, the promise of being able to hold you is far too great to give up for a cold cell in Leavenworth. There wouldn’t be a pretty girl wearing my shirt and carrying my baby sleeping next to me. 
I won’t lie, I cried when I saw the ultrasound. Thank God she has her mother’s nose. Mia will be as pretty as her mama, I just know it. And then I’m going to have to get out my shotgun. It’s strange to think about those kinds of things, that I’m going to be a father but it’s amazing. 
Your pictures. God, Bubbles, you know don’t what they do to me. Let me just say that you should have no insecurities where your changing body is concerned. You are beautiful, even more so than that night. I proudly showed off the one with your bump showing (but not the one in my t-shirt, that’s for my eyes only 😉 ) and the guys are saying that they can’t wait to see what the belly looks like when we get home.
I hope you don’t mind, but the guys have kind of adopted the idea of having a niece, our little Mia won’t be lacking for love or support. Although I feel like we will have to make sure that Ben doesn’t sneak her extra candy when she is older. 
I am glad Mama brought you the shirts and that she is going with you to the appointments. I wish I could be there. I would hold your hand and cry with you. 
This is real, corazón. I know that it has started crazy and that some would say that we are moving too fast but I don’t care. Some days the idea of you and Bean safe at home are what gets me out of the rack and eager to tackle another day. I think I might be in love with you too. Yes, I held up the letter to the sun. You can’t tease a man like that. 
We’ve had some issues lately, tough days and I re-read your letters everyday and smile. When I get home, I want to kiss you and if you haven’t had our daughter yet, take you out for a real date. Foot and backrub included. Maybe I should look into one of those spa packages for you? Do you go get your toes done like Will’s fiancée?
I know that there are a lot of things for us to learn about one another, but I think it will be fun. Send me a list of questions you have and I’ll answer them. Although, now that I think about it, I’m sure my mama has probably told you every embarrassing story she can about me when I was growing up. Please, please tell me she didn’t pull out the photo albums with the bathtub pictures. (I was two, okay?)
There are also a couple of serious things that I want to talk to you about when I get home as well. Nothing bad, I promise. I just want to make sure Bean gets added to my dependents list so she can get Tri-Care and BAH. (You can also be added on, but we’ll talk about that in person.)
Okay, I better stop talking before I scare you away or make an ass of myself. Just know that i am thinking about you and Bean everyday and I am counting down the days until I get to see you again. 
Love, Frankie. 
P.S. I’m not crossing it out again this time. I love you, Bubbles.

waterparks // kerrang! magazine issue #1645
(full article text under cut)
BRING OUT THE BIG GUNS
WATERPARKS MAY VERY WELL HAVE WRITTEN THE POP-PUNK ALBUM OF 2016. IN FACT, AS FAR AS THEY SEE IT, THEY'VE WRITTEN A DEBUT BIGGER THAN ANY GENRE BOLD ENOUGH TO CLAIM IT. THEIR TIME IS NOW….
The first 30 seconds of Made In America, the sixth track on Waterparks' debut record Double Dare, serves as a mission statement. Opening with a riff that any far heavier band would be proud of, before giving way to a verse backed with scattered synths and leading into a pop chorus that could raise the roof off of any club on the planet, the message is clear: expect the unexpected.
They'll be classified as a pop-punk band based on associations and aesthetic, but there's no-one around Waterparks-neither in genre nor age group- making music like they are. Album opener Hawaii (Stay Awake) contains an almost rapped refrain; Take Her To The Moon would sound just as good on an Ibiza beach as it would at Slam Dunk Festival; and Little Violence takes punk to its most antagonistic lengths. Waterparks aren't confined by genre or convention, picking and choosing the best of whatever the hell they like—like children running amok in a toy shop—and combining it perfectly.
"We've tried to make it a point to not just make a 'pop-punk' or a 'rock' album," says frontman Awsten Knight, settling into conversation with Kerrang!. "We played it safer in the past, but this is going to be people's first real impression of us, so we just needed to push this shit to China. We wanted to make sure that people expect to not know what to expect from us. It's 2016-you can do whatever you want."
Be that as it may, to be this daring on a debut album takes confidence. But if a conversation with Awsten is anything to go by, it's a quality that's far from lacking. The Texan native is, like the state from which he came and still resides, both brash and unashamed of his lofty ambitions. In fact, anything other than determination to be the best is frankly off-putting to him.
"I've heard bands during interviews being like, Y'know, if people like it, that's fine, we just want to play music…" he scoffs. "Dude! No! Why would you dedicate your life to something and not care if it does well? That's insane. I don't wanna be like, 'Let me know what you guys think, I hope you like it!' Fuck that. It's, 'Here are some absolute jams, take it and we're gonna keep giving you music and it's gonna be tight as hell.'" And what of his own ambitions for the band? "I want it to be the biggest thing ever," he asserts. "And if that's an attitude that turns people off, and if people don't want good things for us… They can eat dicks."
I here's far more swirling around in Awsten Knight's head than sheer bravado, however. There's a depth to rock's newest future superstar that's mirrored on Double Dare, which boasts substance to back up its all-consuming style. Singing "You drop your guy and take me on / It's everything I wanted / But then what? / Would you get tired of my, time?" on 21 Questions, Awsten shows self-doubt in what might feel like triumph for others. On Powerless, Awsten laments with brutal honesty how he doesn't hear from his friends anymore. Clearly. Waterparks is so much more to Awsten than a chance to have pop choruses sung back at him.
"I don't like talking to people about personal shit," Awsten reveals. "I'll just put it in the songs. There are lyrics that you could look at and be like, 'Oh, he wants to die,' but then the next song could be like, 'Aww, he's in love. This way I don't have to talk about it in real life."
The time leading up to Double Dare gave him lots to not talk about and even now, speaking to K! about it all, Awsten retreats into himself more than seemed possible from such an outwardly charismatic dude.
"I went through a while where I didn't talk to anyone or want to see any of my friends." He pauses. I got out of a four-and-a-half year relationship in that time, too. A lot of weird and sketchy things caused me to be a recluse for a little bit."
Even the usually cast-iron confidence in his band can falter slightly if Awsten thinks about the wrong thing. He worries that the amount of attention they're getting might jinx them. "It's weird when people say, 'Waterparks are going to blow up.'" he admits. "What if we don't? I don't want people to look back at all those articles and see us as just some band that flopped."
There's a duality at play: Awsten, the fiercely driven, self-assured frontman faces off against Awsten, the self-critical, occasional loner. It's a battle that he's keen to see end in a tie.
"I'm always both," he says of his split personality. "If I was either of those personalities full-time, shit just wouldn't get done. If I was a bummer all the time, then our shows wouldn't be fun. I think the balance is there and that's what makes it work."
Awsten, more than anyone, knows who he has to be and what he has to do for his band to be successful. And where those two sides meet is in his work ethic. When Waterparks needed flyers made, he learned Photoshop. When they needed a way to sift through their many, many different ideas before paying for studio time, Awsten set up a studio at home. Merch designs? Promo filming and editing? All Awsten. "I hate being dependent," he stresses. "Nobody's going to work as hard for your band as you will yourself. If you're stuck relying on people, you're going to be fucked."
But with that hard work about to pay off in the biggest way - Double Dare is set to propel his band into the ranks of pop-punk's elite - are Waterparks and Awsten, self-doubt and all, ready for the level of success headed their way?
"Well, we better be!" Awsten exclaims without a second's thought. "Everything that we have right now as far as the album and all the other cool stuff we have going on and the things we've accomplished, those aren't accidents. I quit school to do this full- time, so if we get to that point and I'm like, 'Oh, I'm not ready,' then fuck me, it's my fault.
"I honestly try not to think about any of it too hard, though," he continues more soberly, "because that would mess me up. But we're pretty ready."" And they'd better be.
DOUBLE DARE IS OUT NOW VIA EASY LIFE
TOY STORE-Y
WHAT WOULD WATERPARKS GET UP TO IF THEY GOT LOCKED INSIDE A TOY SHOP OVERNIGHT? LET'S FIND OUT, SHALL WE…
AWSTEN KNIGHT (VOCALS/GUITAR) "Completing the prophecy, as my eyes roll back, my skin turns purple and I crawl backwards to the ceiling!"
OTTO WOOD (DRUMS) "If I managed to get trapped in a toy shop, I would monopolise the Lego market and make it a real pain in the ass for anyone who was looking to construct the biggest Lego house ever (laughs)!"
GEOFF WIGINGTON (GUITAR) "Let's see…If I was to get trapped in a toy shop overnight I would most likely find myself building the biggest Lego house ever. Once that's ready, I'd go and find myself a wife and a dog, so we can all grow old together. The end!"

Can we get a life update on Harry? His love life but also maybe when we'll get new music and what genre it might lean to? Thanks in advance
hello and thanks for asking! i did make a few of your questions a little more direct, but i tried to answer these as best as i could :)
how is harry’s life right now?
queen of wands reversed: harry‘s life may be feeling a little chaotic right now and he’s having a hard time balancing it and staying rational about things, he may have also experienced a let down with something work related, something didn’t progress in the ways he wanted it to.
ace of wands upright: interesting! this card is all about creativity and willpower and going towards the things you want confidently. i get the feeling there’s a project harry wants to start and this is a good sign to do that.
nine of wands reversed: he may be having a hard time committing to something, this feels more work related than personal to me, i’d say maybe he’s avoiding jumping into a project in fear that he won’t get much out of it or he won’t be able to back out if it doesn’t go well.
how is harry’s love life?
the hermit upright: i think he’s more focused on himself right now, bettering himself mentally and physically. i don’t think he’s interested in a relationship right now, this card is very much self focused and it honestly reads as someone not ready to be in a relationship or not wanting to be in a relationship right now.
seven of wands reversed: exhaustion, giving up and feeling overwhelmed. if he’s in a relationship, he’s feeling quite tired of it. upright this card can mean that someone is ready to fight for something, so reversed i’d imagine there’s a lack of energy or interest in any romantic relationship he may be in. a lot of frustration coming from this one.
nine of swords upright: a romantic relationship may be causing him some anxiety right now and he could benefit from a break or figuring out exactly what is making him feel this way.
when will we get new music?
five of wands reversed: new music may be a lot closer than we think! this card signifies the end of a conflict and finding harmony, he’s feeling relaxed about hs4 and may even be finished with it. i can’t say for sure since tarot isn’t great for questions like this, but i wouldn’t be shocked if we heard something about hs4 in the next month or two.
will hs4 be similar to harry’s previous albums?
six of pentacles upright: i’ll do my best because this isn’t really something tarot can answer, but i do think hs4 will sound different than his previous albums. i don’t want to say that he’ll completely abandon the pop sound, but i do think he’ll become less dependent on it.
the chariot upright: success and determination, i think he wants to try something new with hs4 and he has a lot of confidence in what he’s got so far, if he continues to stay focused the album will be very successful in his eyes, even if it doesn’t top harry’s house, i think he’ll be really satisfied with it.

GODDAMMM JIMIN YOUR VOICE!!!!!
*
Ask 2: What’s your verdict on Vibe bpp? Im not very knowledgable but it sounded like what i heard in radios back in the 2000s, i saw people say that its not very kpop, do you agree? I wasnt into it until jimin came in dunno if I was just biased lol.. I’m was very surprised at the level of participation Jimin had in this song.. Turns out he even wrote some of the lyrics enough to get credit.. and i feel like he got half of the verses And spotlight in the MV too! Maybe cuz its his first official collab but I was surprised at him advertising it in his ig lol he’s never done that before.. it looks like theyre planning on doing music shows too!!! Curious to see how this collab will do in the charts too.
*
Ask 3: So. What did you think of it? Doesn’t Jimin look absolutely gorgeous? My heart.
#Vibe #ParkJimin #KillMe #WhatImDeadAlready
*
Ask 4: WILL HE BE PERFORMING AT A SHOW?!?! LIVE?!?!?!
*
Ask 5: heyyy bpp!! with the bigbangtan collab turning out to not be a hoax a lot of people are now hoping for a blacktan collab someday. do u think its possible? imho it might be a possibility but tbh i just cant see there styles and philosophies meshing well at all at least not until bp comes out with music that is very diff from what theyve done so far and i just cant see that happening any time soon bec even their solos so far arent that good imo. what do u think?
***
Hi Anon(s)!
VIBE is very much giving me 80s groove mixes, stripped back. Only thing missing is a Kenny G saxophone solo.
My favourite parts/timestamps:
1:55 - I love how they stripped back the instrumentals in Jimin's chorus so we really **hear** him. God, his voice. It's almost acapella and I'm glad Teddy had the sense to not bury that magic under useless synths.
2:17 - What is it with Jimin and bridges? He understands the assignment. Every single time.
youtube
*
Because I was aware of my bias going into it, I gave this song a few more listens than I typically do before forming an opinion. And like I suspected, the only reason I like this song is because of Jimin.
Taeyang gave me nothing to work with I'm sorry. The D'Angelo aesthetic failed to land, the only person who brought sauce to this joint is Park Jimin. I think even Taeyang, Teddy and co recognize that too, because though it's Taeyang's song and technically a feature, it feels like Jimin's song with Taeyang featuring. (The lines split is also smart from a business POV because it will get ARMYs and Jimin solo stans to buy/stream it more). Jimin has writing credits [*] so I can only assume he wrote his verses because the difference between his verse and Taeyang's is like night and day, and in Jimin's verse, the lack of gendered pronouns is something I can't help but notice.
In terms of jikook/ML collabs so far, I actually prefer this to Left & Right and Dreamers, but I like Bad Decisions more. So I'm giving this song a solid 6.8/10. It's a decent track and the hook is fun to sing. And thankfully, the song is short enough.
Frankly, if this single was supposed to whet people's appetites for Taeyang's album, it does the opposite for me, but it does do that for me with Jimin with PJM1. I **need** to hear more Jimin.
Anon in Ask 4, Taeyang has said there's a live performance so it's possible we get to see Jimin perform it live with him. (Jimin is blonde right now, in case anyone forgot)
Anon in Ask 5, you might not have heard, but ARMYs have a running joke that the tannies collab with people unlikeable to the fandom. I think a collab between Blackpink and BTS/any of the members is certainly possible (everything is possible in Chapter 2), but it will be a character building exercise for everyone involved.
And y'all know all I really do in those sorts of situations is laugh.
My favourite shot:
Tumblr media
*
It's a bit unfair to Taeyang to have him dance beside Jimin, honestly. But he managed to hold his own for the most part. The live will be fun to watch.
Tumblr media
*
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
*
Tumblr media
(Jimin's dance lines are perfection)
***
[*] EDIT: Updating this to correct that Jimin has composing credits on Vibe, not writing credits. Only Taeyang and Vince have writing credits. So for Jimin’s verse I can assume Vince did the writing, and if Taeyang did then even more kudos to him honestly (though it begs the question… you know what, I’ll drop it lol). And again, the lack of gendered pronouns for Jimin’s verse sticks out (which is probably true for any queer listener tbh).

So, Seven was released. There was a lot of drama surrounding this before its release and a lot of drama after its release.
I fully support Jikook, but I think that my belief in Jikook is fully seperable and irrelavent when it comes to pointing out injustices in their music careers. Do I support the relationship that I belive JK and JM have? Yes. Do I acknowledge and love how JK and JM support each other? Yes. Do those things mean that I’m obligated to support Seven and be happy for JK as a musician? No. 
There are a lot of things you could point out in comparing between how FACE was handled and how Seven is being handled. A lot of those things ought to make you pissed off on JM’s behalf. The short promo? The disadvantageous chart manipulations? Gosh, even the lack of a cake (if you’ve followed BTS for all these years, you must know how a simple cake is a staple to celebrate significant events like...oh idk, a BB#1???!). Seven on the other hand, to put it lightly, did not recieve this kind of treatment. Am I advocating for JK’s music to face the injustices that JM’s FACE release did? No. I am simply putting it out there that it needs to be acknowledged that Seven was clearly favoured over JM’s debut album when looking at the treatment each of these recieved. As a fan, I honestly felt that JM’s success was more organic - his records came from songs he wrote, choreography he worked hours to perfect, and the dedication of his fans and their love for the music he put out.
Looking at Seven as a song, look I love JK as a musician. Anyone with ears can tell that dude can really sing well (again, putting it lightly). He’s an all rounder and from a business perspective, it’s easy to understand why so much favourtism is awarded to him (as an ARMY, that stuff does not sit right with me). This song, the GMA performances, the lyrics even - all of it felt, for lack of a better word, Western. It felt like any other American song about sex. The cherry on the cake was that he didn’t even write it, BTS didn’t write it. We don’t need to look at the credits to know who didn’t write it. BTS songs have beautiful lyricism and intellgient melodies and all of that is glaringly absent in Seven. All this promo, this hype, these analyses, for a mainstream-produced song that JK did not even write. Anyways, this side note is just to say that Seven did not hit the spot for me as a song, it did not live up to the hype surrounding it, and more than that, as a song associated with JK since I know he can do so much better. 
Another side note is that I felt the use of the subject of sex in this song was kind of cheap. I know BTS are grown ups and see no issue with them devoting songs to sex (that is an important and normal part of life, ngl). With Seven, I felt like sex was sorta used the same way that plot twists are cheaply used in TV shows, you know? As a shock factor or something to draw people in. The song isn’t deep (at least to me it isn’t), but is everyone screaming about it because JK sings about fucking someone right? Sure, the song is hot. JK is hot. But that’s irrelevent to whether the song is good, no?
Anyhow, those are my two cents on all this FACE/Seven stuff especially for people who might feel a similar conflict, but might be pressured by other posts they may see that mandate that you should be happy for Seven and JK as a musician if you are a Jikooker.
