Yourusername | Long Pond Studios has always been a place where I’ve let my emotions and feelings guide my songwriting completely, every song that I’ve written and recorded in this place has been a complete raw reflection of my feelings, and I’m forever grateful that I can trust you enough to share them all with you without the slightest moment of hesitation. That’s why, I’m surprise releasing my brand new song, ‘I hate it here’ now. This song is about a method I’ve used to cope for the past few years of my life when I wasn’t in the best situation, and I hope that it will help any of you who are or were in the same situation I was. This song was made with my soulmate of a collaborator, chosen friend, found family of mine, Aaron and were so incredibly proud of it and we can’t wait for you to hear it. Sorry for being away for so long, I love you 🤍

Im sorry for this and how much of this I've said.

But.

Relating to the spoopy guys crossover.

Lazer pointer and her watching Sabbie and being a cool professional spirit and not chasing it but just. tail flicking like crazy and her eyes are darting back and forth to follow it.

(I have a list of which catbased holiday spirits would be the first to break when in front of a Lazer pointer. Core is in the top 6)

oh my god i LOVE that-

Feeling a litt'l scared and uncertain this morning as I left the house to re-enter the world I haven't seen in three weeks. Never have I commuted to work with such feelings. A familiar rhythm of life yet altogether new. God who is always a step ahead of me must have known and prepped me through a busy yesterday. Thanks to Sabby, we visited the Lego exhibition. It was interesting to see how the little bricks come together to construct the wonders of the world on a life scale and how meticulous the builders were in crafting the details of each wonder. Similarly, though life feels like it's broken into pieces like the Lego bricks these few weeks, God seems to be telling me He'll pick up the pieces and as the Master Builder, He'll make something beautiful out of all these like the pixelated art at the end of the exhibition. And along with God in this new season will be people who I love and also loves me. I had a good time at the barbecue in church. From 12 yo to 70 yo, we were all gathered. Some I've known, others I met and talked to for the first time but it was a great time. It's been weeks since I mingled with a group and laughed so much. 22.06.22 was an eventful and tiring but it ready me to face my world again 23.06.22. #lategram #reflections #griefisajourney #grievingmyway #griefhealing #LEGOtherapy #fellowship https://www.instagram.com/p/CfIXseFpoKX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cardigan

A dancing Omen and Viper story, based on dancing and musical headcanons

(This should be only released at Sunday, but i'm bored at the hair salon :D)

Words: + 800

Available in Wattpad in Portuguese

Available in AO3

Everyone in the room was dancing. Under the colored lights and shadows, the heavy music and the great energy in the party, it seems logical to dance. Something you just had to do. It would be a natural impulse to dance. Omen feel that impulse. He wanted to dance. He wanted to enjoy the moment just like everyone. However, doesn't seem right. Something was missing. She was missing. He, in the corner, sliped away from the party. Thinking that nobody would notice with a beginning of a conga dance. Why someone would care for a ghost of a man anyway? Omen listen the eccho of the song until it be far away. The halls of the base where silent. Peaceful. For a little moment, Omen did forgot about the voices. But they came back, loud and destructive as a hurricane. It was good at least. Omen focused on his objective. Turning right in the first corner, left in the third, follow straight till the end of the hall. There was the lab. He could listen to a calm music beyond the doors. The voices in his head screamed in terror, trying to make him go away to his own solitude. Any other person would accept their advice and run. Omen was already used to that mess. He look inside the lab, by the window of the door. There was her. Eyes closed, singing like an angel in the devil's clothes and dancing with a skeleton. Omen teleported inside the lab, walking silent to that beautiful woman. - May i have the next dance, ma'am? - OH GOD! - Viper tremble, ready to punch Omen in the face. The other held her hand before touch him. - OMEN! - Omen just observed while Viper pause the song, putting a hand in her chest. - I tought we've already talked about teleporting like this. - She looked at him with fury. Omen didn't even blink. (Does Omen blink?) - I'm sorry. Viper took a long breath, pulling her head down. Omen noticed that her muscles was tense. He was truly sorry for scaring her that way. - What the hell are you doing here? - She look to him, angrily. - You should be at the party, like everyone. Omen took a moment to got a decent answer. - You wasn't there. "You wasn't there" The phrase floated in the lab and got stucked in Viper's heart. The words weren't new. No, he said that before. In another life. "I gotta work." "You're a workaholic. Of course you gotta work." "Just leave me alone." "Come dance with us." In a complete different life. - I just had to finish this. - Viper show some paperwork, like it was a obvious tip that he was missing. - You was dancing. With the skeleton. - Omen observed and Viper wish that he still had a face for her punching him. - Why can't you dance with everyone? It was so easy. So sample. It hurted how familiar that was. - I don't want to. - Viper crossed her arms. She hated to do that. It means she needed to protect herself. It means she was afraid, embarased. She was nervous. Omen looked at her and them turned to her phone. - Is about the songs? The one that you're hearing didn't look alike the ones in the party. - No. It doesn't look. - Viper blushed. She got mad with herself for blushing. - I like it. "Taylor Swift?" "Any problem, knitting guy?" "Easy, Sabby. I like it." It was getting hard to breath. - May i dance with you? - Omen asked with innocence. He did not have any idea how that conversation was broken hearted for Viper. She looked at him and remember how it was before. She remembered about his rare smile and his smart eyes. She missed their conversations and inside jokes. Everything got away with the incident that transformed him in Omen. Some people taught he was gone forever. But he was still there. Hell, Viper didn't know if this was a blesson or a curse. All that she was seeing was her old friend and a complete different person at the same time. Her heart was in pain. She wanted to yell with him, sending him away and go back to her own solitude. Yet, she gave him her hand. - Yes. - It was all that she could say. Omen's hands were like solid smoke under the bandages. It seems that he would dissapear in a moment.

She hold one of his hands while pressed the play of the music. Viper hugged Omen as if this is a condition for existing. She was afraid that he gone if she get away. Heaven, she misses him. - I like to dance with you. - Omen whisper, feeling something strangely familiar in that movements. For a single moment, the voices were silenced. All that he could hear was Viper's breathing and the soft music. It was a good sensation. - It isn't a torture. - Viper answered. It was a torture, actually. One that she wouldn't exchange for anything. After all, had been a long time since she had her dance partner. "I like to dance with you. - She said softly. Something that wasn't usual. I mean, it is Viper!" "It isn't a torture."

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

Bônus¹: The name of the Skeleton that Viper was dancing is Jefferson. Only friends can call him Jeff.

recollection / shaw bai

did I write a fic for someone we’ve interacted with twice? yes. // w.c: 1.9k // requested by @bridgetysm

[cloud boy by sabby sousa]

—

“___!”

A familiar, shockingly loud voice filled my ears, startling my eyes into focus. I remember that day almost as if it were yesterday, the unnatural feeling of blood pooling in my mouth and beneath the bruises on my forehead so vivid that I could conjure it up even now.

But, another thing that still stands untouched in my memory, is Shaw’s expression in that first moment, clear in the haze of the evening sky. The first face I’d seen in days after being ambushed on my way home from work somehow felt like a new one, his fearful expression even startling me at first. It was uncharacteristic, the way his normally slack face was taut with concern, and how his amber eyes seemed to be drowning in a type of panic I didn’t know he knew how to feel.

But the relief I felt when locking eyes with the very man I’d been hoping to see -- it was still immeasurable.

His breathing had been loud and laboured, but there wasn’t a single part of me that minded, because the slight breeze on my forehead as he worked to untie the bonds I'd been constricted to was all I needed to be reminded that I wasn’t alone anymore.

“You’re safe,” Shaw finally said this after the thin rope fell to the ground, his voice much softer than I had been expecting. “Thank god.”

Something changed that day for both of us. Whether it was in the tender way he touched my beaten skin, or how he stayed by my side that night without a word, I’m not sure. But I don’t find myself wishing it’d never happened, so I can’t say it exactly turned things for the worst.

It was difficult beforehand, and no less annoying to have such a resource at the tip of my fingers that was yet simultaneously so unreachable. I knew that I should’ve known better than to let someone like him into my life, especially in a world where placing trust in someone could mean certain death. But against my better judgement, I decided to stick with him. I made a gamble and chose to have faith in the man whose presence practically reeked of trouble -- in every part of him from the heavy steps of his doc martens up to that cocky smile of his that seemed permanent.

And, likely to the surprise of us both, it wasn’t a waste.

In the beginning, I took his words seriously only because they were all I had. But now, I take them as they are because I’d found a genuine bond in someone I had never expected much from. And truthfully, I expected very little after his spiel the first time we’d met in this winter world, so I admired his willingness to climb out of the hole he’d dug himself into.

I just never thought my admiration would spiral.

Shaw is by no means perfect. He mocks and he teases without a hint of trepidation, he’s never clear, and barely lends his help without being cryptic about it first. But, he also always somehow manages to pop up when I need him, too. He listens better than most, and knows how to joke around until my stomach hurts from laughing too hard.

He gives me a true sense of the term tough love, that’s for sure.

But, it’s not a feeling I can bring myself to hate. Because no matter the roadblocks our situation may place in front of us, a glance into his smiling eyes is always enough to drag me back down to earth -- and I’m grateful for that.

It’s still not an easy feat loving someone like him, though. Shaw is barely ever caught being serious, whether it be in truth or in those he sides with, and it’s admittedly frustrating. The reasons can change per the day, but my insecurity around him all trails back to the same thing:

the fear that he isn’t serious with me.

Relationships can vary greatly, especially when looking at them from a romantic versus friendly standpoint. But in my case, I was pinned with the unceremonious task to watch out for both. Shaw is a wild card in almost any group he chooses to throw himself into, and it didn’t take me long to realise that the same ideal didn’t stop at me.

I’ve spent countless nights awake wondering if his number would still be in my phone the next morning. Hours trying to comb through what I’d said to him that day, and trying to figure out if any of it would upset him enough to make him leave.

But every time, all I’m met with the next morning is the same unchanging arrogant smile, blissfully unaware of all the turmoil I had gone through in preparation to see it again.

This same cycle goes on irritatingly for weeks, and between the stress of Shaw and everything else, my inner scale feels like it’s a hair’s length away from malfunctioning. He should be the least of my problems, but the punk had somehow managed to claw himself to the top of the list anyway.

“Something happen this morning to make you upset, little girl?” Shaw garners my attention with a very true-to-self line. “Or is that just your face?”

I turn to him with a doubtful look, trying to contain my smile. “If you think that’s the case, Shaw, then something’s been coming and ruining my mornings for weeks now.”

Even after copious signs of something changing for the better, Shaw continued to inadvertently push everything aside. With only a signature smug smile, of course.

“Hey, you’re going about it all wrong!” Shaw had tsked at me once for not taking his advice, but still helped me recuperate regardless of his tone.“You’d be running around like a chicken with their head cut off at this rate without me.”

But nothing can go on forever.

“You’re not seriously thinking of going alone, are you?”

Shaw says this to me one night after visiting to warn me of the black cabin’s movement, his expression so oddly incredulous that I almost try to reach up to rub my eyes. I’m caught off guard, and it’s easy to tell when I don’t respond, but Shaw takes my surprise and still continues as naturally as can be.

“You couldn’t ever find it by yourself. Not now, probably not in a hundred years.” It’s obvious that his tone is slightly mocking, but a hopeful part of me wants to believe that he’s still worried nonetheless.

I sigh and turn away, mumbling, “How nice of you to think so.”

He sets his hands down on the kitchen island, putting his full weight down and somehow still managing to look right at home in a place he barely visits. I notice him shrug limply from where I stand next to him, and can’t help the way my heart lurches.

he’s making fun of me again, isn’t he?

I resist the urge to bite down on my lip, fearing that it’ll draw more attention than needed.

“I’m just saying.” He begins with a type of smile that has me preparing for the worst, turning his head to look me in the eye. “Besides, it’s real nice having me around to help, you can’t deny that.”

I find myself answering the question privately in my head, but outwardly, I just roll my eyes and ask, “Maybe now, but probably not for much longer. I doubt you’ll still need me once we’re back in the real world, anyway.”

He doesn’t answer. I think I even catch him hesitating for a moment, but then his lips curve up into a somehow more gentle smile.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself, little girl. That observation of yours only further proves that you’re gonna need as much help as you can get.” He stands up straighter as he speaks, even going as far as to stretch casually.

I give him a look. My delusional heart can’t help but want to stop and selfishly fish out a double meaning to his words, but I go on anyway. “What, so I’m wrong? But even if I am, how am I supposed to know what’s ever running through that head of yours? You still barely tell me anything.”

“Try a bit harder, ___. Same as always. What you know is dependent on your decisions alone.”

I begin to shake my head, hesitantly asking, “...And if I don’t?”

Shaw only stares at me.

“Would it matter to you if I stayed the way I am? Weak and unable to do anything alone?”

I know I’m about to cross a barrier. I know, but I don’t stop. I turn to face him anyway, my expression horribly open after weeks of being schooled.

“Or would you leave me too if that happened?” I ask softly, my lips merging into a natural frown as I drop my head. “Like everyone else?”

I go painfully silent as I search for the right words to say, and in the midst of it, Shaw leans down slightly. I look up just as his nose stops inches from mine, the concern in his eyes just as stark as the surprise in my own.

I feel his breath on my face as he murmurs, “____… what’s this about?”

Words catch in my throat as I gage how close he is, and they stay down with every slow rise and fall of my chest. It stretches into a minute where neither of us speak, but I note his evident patience and gather the courage to restart.

“Well... I just want to know. After everything we’ve been through in this world,” I say, looking up to meet his eyes again. “Would details like that matter? Would you still be here even if I one day say that I can’t do it?”

A flurry of emotions swirl through his eyes, but none come forward in his words, so I say something that I hope will be a good push to get what I need to settle the insatiable thrumming of my heart.

“I don’t know if something like that would really matter to you, but to me, it’s everything. It’s my only connection to you.”

Shaw gulps.

“It’s-- it’s not. Don’t talk like that.”

“How is it not?” I whisper, my voice breaking. “I love you, okay? I love you, Shaw, but I don’t even know whose side you’re on half the time, so why should I have the nerve to think you’ll stay on mine?”

He doesn’t speak, but hesitantly, he reaches up as his thumb comes up to collect the tears that adorn my cheeks, the leather of his fingerless gloves leaving a soft warmth in its wake.

“That sense,” Shaw trails off, his lips slightly parted as his eyes trail down. “It’s well placed, but... unneeded this time.”

I am only given seconds to grasp what he’s said before he maneuvers his hand to support my chin and my mind goes blank. I’m still trying to catch up when he presses his lips to mine, carefully, as if he doesn’t want to startle me.

I feel the tight ball in my chest suddenly release as my frame relaxes, much to his obvious delight, as I kiss back. I had never quite found enough courage to think about what his kisses would feel like, but now I realise that anything I could’ve imagined wouldn’t even come close.

It feels like only seconds before we part again, both of us panting as we cling loosely to each other’s clothing.

“Because I’ll always be on your side, whether you like it or not.”

I let out a small laugh, the look in my eyes softening as I meet his. I see something unfamiliar swimming through his eyes, but somehow, I’m still eager to explore it.

“Then I'll take your word for it.”

Oh my god my humans my friends let me tell you horses are goddamn overgrown toddlers istg.

So here’s the background: the barn I ride at is a livery/trail riding stable but also a boarding stable. In general, the trail horses live in two herds, and the boarders live in one big herd and get brought in to eat and, in bad weather, stay in overnights. As I ride mainly in the afternoon and evening, I sometimes help out with boarders’ dinner. Ideally, the process goes like this: after grooming and turning out my товарищ, Toby, we put everyone’s dinner (grain) in their respective stalls, plus hay, and more hay if they’re staying in. Then we close the driveway gate and open the boarders’ paddock and they all trot in and situate themselves in their “rooms” and we close stall doors. It’s all remarkably organized and cute, if you don’t mind nine thundering horses pounding down the barn aisle past you.

Tonight, instead of a lesson (weather happened), I was drag for a trail ride. Just the four of us: my instructor guiding, two guests, and me. We got back safely, if slightly after dark, and had the four horses in their stalls in order to let them cool off, get some water, eat, and get untacked and groomed before turning them out. I’d gone into Tobes’ stall with him to give him a good brush and check his feet, so mind you I’m in a 12x12 stall with a 1200lb QH cross.

At this point, somehow, the boarders have decided that it is NOW TIME FOR FOOD, and broke out of their paddock. I have no idea how they did this. No one has any idea how they did this. The gate has been destroyed. I am minding my own damn business brushing and singing as per usual, when nine mighty, majestic, and EXTREMELY NAUGHTY horses come barreling in.

There are ten stalls down the middle of the barn. There are nine boarders. Four of those ten stalls are currently occupied by horses and myself. You do the math and see where this is going.

Ears are pinned, teeth are bared, horses are circling in the aisle like sharks. Sabby is trying to get into her “room” which INCIDENTALLY is where Toby and I currently are. Not wanting to be crushed by two horses or bitten by one who thinks she is starving (she is not starving I have seen beachballs less round than this horse) I try to scoot out only to find myself nearly pinned between two other horses.

This is the first time in 14 months of riding that I’ve heard my instructor swear.

Together, we shoo two horses out, distracting them with grain, move one of the trail horses to an unoccupied stall, and turn out the trail horses and put everybody back where they belong.

The boarders then have the audacity to kick up a fuss because their dinner is NOT READY YET and they are OBVIOUSLY FAINT WITH HUNGER. Like, you knuckleheads, you’re the NAUGHTY NAUGHTY HORSES who broke down your own gate before dinner was served.

Overgrown goddamn toddlers, seriously. At least they were going to be in overnight anyway, because their gate’s apparently toast.

So that was both exciting and oddly educational in a practical sense.

Quote

When all the company requested and earnestly begged it of him; first of all (says he), the time and manner of the greatest and most holy solemnity of the Jews is exactly agreeable to the holy rites of Bacchus; for that which they call the Fast they celebrate in the midst of the vintage, furnishing their tables with all sorts of fruits, while they sit under tabernacles made of vines and ivy; and the day which immediately goes before this they call the day of Tabernacles. Within a few days after they celebrate another feast, not darkly but openly, dedicated to Bacchus, for they have a feast amongst them called Kradephoria, from carrying palm-trees, and Thyrsophoria, when they enter into the temple carrying thyrsi. What they do within I know not; but it is very probable that they perform the rites of Bacchus. First they have little trumpets, such as the Grecians used to have at their Bacchanalia to call upon their Gods withal. Others go before them playing upon harps, which they call Levites, whether so named from Lusius or Evius,—either word agrees with Bacchus. And I suppose that their Sabbaths have some relation to Bacchus; for even at this day many call the Bacchi by the name of Sabbi, and they make use of that word at the celebration of Bacchus's orgies. And this may be made appear out of Demosthenes and Menander. Nor would it be absurd, were any one to say that the name Sabbath was imposed upon this feast from the agitation and excitement (σόβησις) which the priests of Bacchus indulged in. The Jews themselves testify no less; for when they keep the Sabbath, they invite one another to drink till they are drunk; or if they chance to be hindered by some more weighty business, it is the fashion at least to taste the wine. Some perhaps may surmise that these are mere conjectures. But there are other arguments which will clearly evince the truth of what I assert. The first may be drawn from their High-priest, who on holidays enters their temple with his mitre on, arrayed in a skin of a hind embroidered with gold, wearing buskins, and a coat hanging down to his ankles; besides, he has a great many little bells hanging at his garment which make a noise as he walks the streets. So in the nightly ceremonies of Bacchus (as the fashion is amongst us), they make use of musical instruments, and call the God's nurses χαλκοδρυσται. High up on the wall of their temple is a representation of the thyrsus and timbrels, which surely can belong to no other God than Bacchus.

Chapter 3: Sabrina Heather

The alarm beeped at 7 am in the morning and I was still curled up within the sheets with all my pillows sorting themselves out around the contours of my body. “Mmmm...ughhh... I hate Humpday mornings.”, I stretched out my arms and legs kicking out the tiny pillows below my feet. The light was trying to get to me slipping through the blinds illuminating the most unladylike apartment in the neighborhood. I step out of the bed and the floor was littered with cashmere and Kashmere. Oh, Kashmere is the name of my cat, a stubby block spotted white Persian cat. It was shorter for its breed, but I named him when I found him at a cat shelter while I wore a white sweater. I moved him out of the way with my foot elegantly like the lady I am and finally head in front of the sink in my pink silky pajamas with flamingos on them. I grab my neon orange toothbrush and start to brush my teeth and my eyes gradually open finally able to perceive the surroundings.

“Oh my god, its 7:30 already?!!” I run into the bathroom for a quick shower and finally put on my work attire and drive to work on the snowy road. I switch on the radio and it tells me about the parade for Christmas in the city and that the roads are blocked. “Great,” I said to myself and taking a turn from a detour board on my usual route and use my fighter pilot like videogame skills to keep my tires from skidding off the snowy road. I park the car at the corner of the road and run into the second floor of the building why, because the goddamn elevator is always out of order. I barely made it to work at 8:29 am and walk to my cubicle taking a deep sigh while I take my seat. I have a small cubicle with a small computer and a desk phone with a microphone that I use to take the requests from the technology services. There are a few photos pinned to the wall of my cubicle. The one on top is me and my mom when we went to a fishing trip last summer! It was funny that we were the only mother and daughter combo at the lake that day. Had to keep my mom safe from all those old men who wanted her number, geez. Below that is the picture of me and my grandparents when I was 14. Though they passed away a few years ago, I cherish the memories I spent with them. And below that, is a picture that was taken with him 3 years ago, when I got my first job and he was a driver there. We were good friends and I thought of inviting him over many times but before I could muster up the courage, he left the job and couldn’t be reached on his phone number registered with the company. I regret missing out on him for all these years, but I guess it can’t be helped.

“Hey there Sabby, you look good today, the grey turtle-neck definitely suits you,” said Frank, my next cubicle neighbor. Frank was the perfect embodiment of a middle-aged father struggling to make ends meet. He was a bit stout for his build and often wore suspenders to hold his pants up. He had this thick brown mustache that complimented his double chin which nicely wrapped around his neck like a natural scarf. I don’t mind talking to him at breaks but, I do often feel uncomfortable when he makes remarks at my appearance and criticize my dressing style. I would not go as far as saying he creeps me out, but I’d rather get to work than make eye contact and engage in conversation at this point. I did go as far as lodge a complaint on him that he is often making it difficult for me to focus on work, but then again I remember his wife Clara who I met during the last office party and their two daughters Rachel and Sarah. “Hey Frank, morning. Thanks. It was just an old turtleneck I had lying around collecting dust in my cabinet. So, I thought I put it on as it’s a bit chilly today. Now if you’ll excuse me, I better get back to my work.” I tried to keep my words short and cut him off quick. But if only he was so easy to deal with.

“Oh, cold as ever Sabby. Always thinking about work. You should be given employee of the month!”, Frank said, holding his steaming coffee mug resting his elbow on top of the wall that separates our cubicle. I gave him my best customer service smile and tried to show a bit of my teeth. One of these days I will break if he keeps nudging his way into my cubicle space. “Well Frank, if I don’t focus on work, I can’t win the employee of the month now, can I?” I avert my gaze and look at the screen, put my headphones on and start my first request for the day. My usual day goes on about flicking through several spreadsheets and forwarding requests to higher ups that can solve them through. It was something I was used to, given my experience. After about three jobs, it was already lunch time and I turned back responding to a tap on my shoulder.

“Time for lunch! You gotta taste my lasagna, it turned out so good!!” It was Emma, my office colleague and sort of my work friend. She was african-american and about 29, quite smart for her age and often had an optimistic view of the world. I sighed and took out my sad box of frozen stir fry I made over the weekend and packed away. “Stir fry again? You need to treat yourself more often” Emma said, while holding my hand and trying to walk me to the lunch area in the office. I already knew why she was excited today to share this lunch with me. We made our way to the cafeteria and I took a seat and opened my lunch box. “So, how did it go…?” Emma was being very nosey today. You see, Emma set me up on a date with one of her ex-colleagues, with a guy called Jason. He was in his late thirties, only slightly older than I was and didn’t really seem to have his things in life together. He got off a divorce and had been living on his own, which I could see from the amount of effort in putting together his outfit. Yeah, I’m one of those people that really cares about the little details. “He was alright, but I didn’t really feel a connection with him. Was just a plain simple dinner and then we went our separate ways.” I started to eat my stir fry with rice. It tasted like it always did, for years now. “Aww I thought you would have hit it off girl! Too bad, I thought he had a shot. Let me guess, did he get drunk and cry about his divorce again?” she asked as she held a piece of her lasagna, with her fork. “Well, he didn’t but I know now that he does that. Thanks for the tip.” I sigh again and eat another spoonful.

“You know what? We should hangout and go to the Parade! That is the exact spot where you could meet someone nice! We could just dress up nicely and have our pick in the crowd...” Emma smirked hiding her lips behind her fingers. I hate to be persuaded like this. “The Parade would be so busy we can’t even grab a bite while waiting for it to happen. Maybe I can just watch it on the TV or something” I wasn’t a big fan of these things. I’m not a huge extrovert like Emma either. I love to stay cozy indoor with a mug of hot chocolate or a glass of red wine and snuggle up with Kashmere in my lap. But Emma seemed determined, “If grabbing a bite is what you’re worried about, my dad works in a diner not too far from the square. We could get dinner there and go out when it starts!”, her eyes were already gleaming in my direction. I guess I am a pushover after all. I made a soft sigh, “Alright, I will try to make it. Now, let me have some of that lasagna! I’m getting tired of this stir fry already.” Emma giggled and fist bumped me and gave me a little bit of her lunch. And that’s how I got roped into attending the parade where I finally saw him.

160217 - Sabby

I had a dream on 16th feb. And in this dream i was talking to my crush since 2014. Seeing her laugh and smiling talking over the phone with the guy whom she’s so in love with saddens me. After i woke up. Had a normal day about to head to school. Came back from school and was about to get myself ready for work. And at 5:28 pm I received a text from Sabrina, asking if i am working today “Working Today?”

Despite the fact that i was supposed to work from 5-11:15. I did not hesitate to ditch work and proceed on meeting with her. So as i reached, i accompanied her as she was feeling lonely. I taught her maths. Which she was supposedly to have an interview the next following day. Had a fun time laughing and teaching. Hopefully she gets in her head as well on time for her test. Really had a great time and laugh with her. Never fail to fall in love with her laugh everytime she does. With the kingcoco helmet jokes and what not. Sent her home on my new bike for the first time. Of course i was nervous as i was having a crush on her since 2014 and to have her as my pillion for the first time. Despite wanting her to be with me, i do want to see her happy loving someone else. I miss her so much Guess she’s not mine to hold for now… or never will be. Only god knows.

Hailing from Rabie Ridge, Shane Eagle is undoubtedly one of the most prominent rappers in South Africa at the moment. He quickly gained popularity by becoming a favourite on the local rap contest show, VuzuHustle Season 1 back in 2015. Despite not winning ,one cannot help but acknowledge his work ethic and how he has managed to stay relevant years after being eliminated.

Shane Eagle showed early signs of success when he got signed under JR’s record label, Feel Good Music. However, that did not last long. Shane Eagle left and is currently under his own record label, Eagle Entertainment. He managed to get featured on Dj Switch’s hit record Now or Never, alongside Kwesta, Reason and Proverb as well as notching a feature on the smash hit Mayo by Dj Speedsta. While still under Feel Good Music, he released a song titled Cutting Corners in February 2016. Despite his mucho appearance he manages to show us a bit of vulnerability.

In the first few bars, he states that this is the song that one must listen to in order to get acquainted with him.

Some notable lines include :

“It breaks my heart when I call my mom to come and see me cause she thinks I got money now since she see me on the TV but she never seems to believe me when I tell her it’s not that easy.”

“Shout out to all my niggas with their 9 to 5 jobs, still think about their dreams when they got some time off. You hate your job but it’s better than being broke. Working minimum wage , just to stay afloat…Your life gotta be worth more than R50/hr”

Many had thought that this was going to be the first single for his debut album as well as Mary Mary but both songs did not make the final cut. Julia was the next song to be released. The song was named after his mother. This song is a mirror image of Cutting Corners and the visuals for it are nothing short of amazing.

Here, he dwells into societal issues such as poverty, incarceration, racism and education. He talks about how he sometimes wishes he had gone to college and got himself a diploma, at the same time being aware of the many people who are unemployed despite having a degree.

One thing you can admire about Shane Eagle is his wit, grit and ability to make conscious music that addresses the issues that most modern day rappers blatantly ignore. Despite all of this, Julia did not make it to the album.

Shane Eagle finally released his debut album titled Yellow on the 31st of August. The album has 13 songs in its entirety and has a runtime of 46 minutes. He stated that his friends are largely responsible for the production. This was because he wanted the album to feel whole, the journey to be complete from the first song to the last and the only way to accomplish this was through utilising the chemistry with his friends, producers.

The album was released under his label ,Eagle Entertainment. KLY is the only guest featured. The first single of the album is Let It Flow. The visuals were released on the same day and has some scenes that were shot at Wits University.

This song was a great pick. The first words are “Only nigga that owns time is Ben Franklin, I don’t wear diamonds , diamonds killed my ancestors.” He goes on to say “I have to balance these bars with being commercially viable , I know I’m God -like , not interested in what science prices.” The reason he says this is because he is more of a conscious rapper but understands that sometimes he has to dumb it down a bit, as a marketing strategy, to increase his popularity.

Another line from the song that had people talking is “Your favourite rapper is a popstar ,darling”. Many thought that this was a shot at AKA but Shane Eagle dismissed the subliminal diss in a recent interview on YFM with Dj Sabby.

Upon its release , Yellow trended on social media and many celebrities such as the likes of Cassper Nyovest, Kwesta , A-Reece ,Reason , Riky Rick and Reyaad Pieterse just to name a few showed their support.

Throughout the album, Shane Eagle speaks about how he cannot be boxed and put in the same category as other rappers. For instance, on Can You See , he says “Don’t even put me in your Top 5 cause four of those niggas could never come back from what I’ve survived”.

In Convos with God, which is the second song of the two part track listed at nine , he speaks to God about life. He acknowledges his presence, shows gratitude but also questions why some things are difficult to understand. For example :

“Who does the captain talk to when he feels like the ship gon sink?”

“I read the bible , I feel wierd about it. Maybe when I see you , we gon talk about it”

Other stand out songs from the album include MIHI, On my Own , Winter and Need Me. Overall , Yellow is a magnificent album. You can hear the influence from Kendrick Lamar and of course, J.Cole , whom he wishes to meet.

A lot can be expected from Shane Eagle and this album was just the right brick for the foundation of his career. This album is very authentic ,it becomes part of your life after listening to it. The bars, metaphors, storytelling and flows are well incorporated to make it flawless.

For now though , Let It Flow.

An Eagle soaring above… Hailing from Rabie Ridge, Shane Eagle is undoubtedly one of the most prominent rappers in South Africa at the moment.

Aight and here's all the shit I got plus all the badges I could find for the years I've been to Sabo.

I'll put a read more about like. Everything because I admittedly wanna talk about it, like Sabo as a whole because like I said in my last post, I think that's gonna be the last Saboten I'm going to...at least unless I do a booth. But that's besides the point. So yeah read more if you wanna read all my nostalgia shit. Stop here if you're good, lol. I’m warning you, it’s fucking long AF.

2009: My second ever convention. I actually got to go because a friend of mine got tickets for her birthday and she invited me to go with her. I was, like, the kind of person I think her parents wanted her to be like? ‘Cause at the time I was a nerd, but I was introverted and I think they were under the impression that I was a good christian straight girl(™) and well. Lol, neither of us were. This was way before I ever tried doing cosplay, and well, technically I did a really shitty Misty at PCC that same year, but like. OMG. It was terrible. I think this was the year I did a ‘lolita?’ outfit? But really it was just me trying to be edgy. It was kind of cute, but man, I would never wear it today.

2010: So this was senior year of high school and the con was actually at the Hilton just down the street from my school. It was my third convention and I got tickets for my friend and I invited my cousin, but he got food poisoning on one of the days he was going to go, so I ended up soloing it for the rest of the weekend. I went as Miki from Shugo Chara and...it was...bad, lol. I tried making the hat, and well, it was a craftfoam hat and everything else I just kind of found around the house. I don’t remember much else from this con to be honest, just that...I went as Miki for at least one day.

2011: This was the year that I got a lot more into Hetalia. I had just graduated from high school and was still kind of...figuring myself out. I dragged an, at the time, friend there with me to a Hetalia cafe and that was fun. I think that was the first time I’d had a con squish? Crush??? The America was mega cool and ooh, I know that was also the year I went to the Eyeshine concert! I was really into Johnny Yong Bosch’s voice ‘cause I was watching Code Geass and Bleach at the time, and well. I like voice actors a whole bunch? And the concert was really cool and I still have the video I saved from it...and yeah. Good times. Actually, p great times, heh.

2012: This was the year I finally went with con friends! God, it was such a good time because for once I had people to hang out with the whole weekend. I’d met a good majority of them at the last PCC and one of the main people I remember is Maddi who’s still one of my best of best friends. There’s also Sabby and again, one of the best friends a person can ever have. We weren’t close at the time, but I do have a pic with her in it? So. She was there. And I think one of the people in it is Hanna who is an awesome person and I love her so much. She’s great like, the coolest person and dang it all, I love my friends?

And then there are a lot of people that I hung out with at the time that...admittedly, I want to forget. One of them, I hate so very very much. Because they were a toxic person and terrible to my best friends and fuck, I wish I had actually stood up for my friends when I was younger and called out some of the shit they pulled because I should have. But. Well. Hindsight...and then the other? Well, I don’t hate but...I guess thinking back on things? It’s awkward and I was awkward and man, that was a...time. I see ‘em sometimes and it’s like, sweet bajeebus you haven’t changed at all.

There was a lot of shit that happened on the last day and like, one of it was there was a panel that didn’t go well and then the other was someone was kinda mega rude to a friend? And while yeah I understand their stance on things, they said things in a rude way that just...could’ve been said a lot better or at least in a kinder way.

But as a sidenote, that was the year I got Laboon! And I still have him, and I still love him. He’s a good whale.

2013: ...this was...the year of kind of an end to some things. But, the beginning of some really REALLY great things. This was the year I became really good friends with Jed, who is like, one of the best of best friends a person could have. He’s such a cool dude, and nerd, but also cool and I might not say it often enough but I’m really lucky to have become his friend. I gotta say that for all my friends, especially Sabby, Maddi, and Jed. I love y’all so much and really, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without y’all?

Anyway, this was the most stressful con I had ever been to. Admittedly? The first day was p good, I went as Cecil (here we go, Cecil version 1 lol) and Jed was Carlos and we had a good time all around. Theeeen Twitter ‘cause at the time, there was a lot of like...sonas for the websites and I was like, I have all that, I’ll be twitter! ...but I ended up having to wait a….long time for my friends to arrive and god, there was just...nothing but drama that day. It was not good.

Day 3 was 1000% better because me and Jed went back to Cecil and Carlos and all around that was just a dang good time. I think someone had actually told me that I was their headcanon Cecil? Which like. Literally made everything that weekend so much better because I was using my real hair (which at the time was sort of long) and I played up my brown skin. There were quite a few other Cecils, but from what I could remember, most of them were the blond white ones and that kind of helped me stand out.

Oh, and that was the first year we attempted flower crowns! Well, I tried, I literally got two garlands of roses and wrapped them around each other. We lost them on the first day, but another Carlos and Cecil found them, which was hilarious to me and I was really glad that happened actually, hah.

2014: HELL.

2015: --god no do you really wanna know about 2014? Okay one sec.

2014: So. I didn’t wanna pay for a ticket. I REALLY didn’t wanna pay for a ticket because also I was flat broke and honestly cons were so far out my price range at the time I shouldn’t have done it.

I did it anyway.

So 2014 was the year of volunteering and doing panels. It was also the first year we did a photo shoot, which was really fun and Maddi’s and Sabby’s were great. I still do love the ones we did for me and Jed, but there was something really nice and bright about the X-Ray and Vav stuff. To be completely honest? I don’t remember much like, for specifics of the con, just that we did panels and that I met a p cool Garrus cosplayer (who still cosplayed the same Garrus at PCC this year, and from the looks of it, it didn’t seem he made it at all more comfortable and I was like, DUDE. MAKE IT SO YOU CAN FREAKING SIT HOLY FUCK).

I’ve admittedly been going back through all my social media accounts to see if anything could jog my memory, and the only thing I remember clearly was that someone thought I was master chef in my Geoff cosplay and that was funny to me.

...I was also apparently America for a day. Which was p alright because I was admittedly a dang great America. Funny story, the only reason I know I was America was because someone from my past recognized us and snapped a pic. I’m like, looking at it and it’s just so funny to me that it turned out as good as it was for like, a really quick throw together thing.

2015: SHIT I HAD TO GO BACK TO MY OLD SHIT TO SEE WHAT THE HELL I WAS AND I FORGOT I THREW TOGETHER A CASUAL!DORIAN FOR THAT. Good fucking god, that’s hilarious, I was always somehow left tiddy commitee...even though it was a v casual Dorian, I guess I just had the right amount of hair for it, lol.

Also, it was the year that we did a panel for the Ladies of Hetalia and then we also did a Youtuber Let’s Players panel with prizes and I only remember spending the night before making those prizes, but the one that everyone really loved was the Geoff picture, which also was a fucking pain in the ass to make because would you be surprised that that picture was really hard to find a good enough quality one to print out? The best thing was though, that I kept running into the people who won the picture and I think some sort of cult formed around it. I’m not sure. I worry for that picture frame sometimes…

I think that was also the last time I cosplayed Cecil. Sabby was my Dana, which I mega appreciate her for, and I took a lot of liberties on my outfit...and based it much more heavily on the weirdness of Cec rather than the button up and tie version that was really popular. It was more fun just to do a Cecil cosplay TBH, and I actually can’t tell if Jed was there or not? I’m also not sure if Maddi was either...uhhh, most of the stuff I can find are selfies of me and Sabby which...I’m not sure of a lot of details actually.

2016: Man, that was the year of Undertale, Dragon Age, and Hamsteak. Er. Homestook. HOMESTUCK. Also the year I got a really nice camera to take pictures with. It was really fun because I got some great pics of our God Tier outfits and I’m still p happy with my Dave cape. Special thanks to Jed for making 99% of that hood. I still owe him a fuck ton.

This was also the year that me and Sabby went to a really fun quiz panel with an awesome Mettaton who is still p dang cool. I wasn’t sure if there was another this year? I don’t think I was able to make it to it, and I know that there was just so much work put into it, I was super blown away.

I also brought back Fen one last time, and that was fun. I dabbed for a dude and that made him super happy, then I just fucked around for the rest of the con. Ooh, also there was Naruto running. Late at night because also, sometimes you just gotta be a fucking loser with your friends. We...kind of started a whole thing? And I feel a little bad looking back on it? But it was at least, at first, just me and Hanna that Naruto ran down the empty hallway to Haruka Kanata and that was just. Such a fun time.

We did another photoshoot that year too, got some legit pics for hamsteak cosplays which was awesome. Then I had a lot of fun editing them. I’d say there’s more to say for this con, but...not really. Oh, but we did spend a lot of time in the activity lounge? Which I love the activity lounge ‘cause they have crayons and hang up your drawings on the walls and I did a ‘great’ drawing of Dave and Karkat that someone took home.

2017: So here we are, eight years later. To be honest? I was actually sort of dreading this con. There was so much just...not happening and I was feeling kind of eh...and I should’ve definitely gotten more done on Gabe but I didn’t. So instead I did Boxerwatch which was still fun, and my armor actually held up really fucking well. Which I was mega happy abound.

Saturday was kind of...a time. Like, I wanted to have fun, and I know I looked cool AF? But it was so hot and humid and I was in like, three layers of clothes and craftfoam and I didn’t bring a change of clothes. Which was stupid on my part. But! Jenny lent me her hot dog costume? Which literally made my day and it turned the whole thing from an /eh day to a THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER sort of time. I’m not gonna lie, I love wearing those mascot sort of costumes because the shenanigans you can have while wearing them. It’s just so good.

Sunday was awesome because I got to hang out with Clyde, Sam, Ray, and I met Keyboard who is p dang cool. Also, I met my hello new person quota of one, so, double accomplishment. On top of that? My armor held up ridiculously well that day and so did my shitty painted on beard and I was literally. So fucking comfortable. I know I was missing a fuck ton of things for Gabe but it worked out alright since I went with a mega casual version. I’m definitely gonna make sure I can wear that jacket anywhere I go though because I love it a bunch? And it was mega comfy. Plus I’m thinking of making the shoulder pads something permanent to the jacket so I could have my own Gabriel Reyes jacket to just. Wear and feel cool in. Well, not cool. More like fucking sweltering because also I live in AZ.

Monday was just a casual day. I think I’m coming down with something and I wasn’t gonna kill myself by wearing Hanzo so, I edged it up. I was kind of really bummed because the Eyeshine concert was cancelled and it was sort of the main thing I was looking forward to all weekend? But I think Sabo might have messed it up p badly because on the website they set it for Sunday at night, which would’ve been perfect ‘cause then all three of us could’ve gone. But the schedule moved it to Monday and I was sad ‘cause it was their farewell tour...and I kind of felt like it’d be just...one of the perfect ways to end my time going to Sabo.

And so yeah, that’s kind of it? Like, I definitely did have fun over the years, there was stress AF during some parts, but then there were some really really great times. I’ve sort of...lost a lot of interest in anime since I started going, and while I will admit, I do still enjoy watching it, I’m so choosy about what I like and what I’ll watch that a lot of the main things available at Sabo don’t interest me nearly as much. There’s one more anime cosplay I wanna do, and admittedly it’d be really freaking easy to pull off...just gotta get the stuff. But other than that single cosplay, I just...I would like to focus on different things. Plus, it’s just so hard to get stuff together because of the timing of it all. Working as a teaching assistant means that I have very little time during those weeks leading up to the con to do anything. The week before was kind of hell, as I had to stay on campus until at least 5:30 most days and god, I couldn’t work on really anything. That and I didn’t have the mental capacity to work on Gabe over the summer, plus I’d planned to have Cyberninja!Hanzo at least started but that just couldn’t happen.

But anyway, that’s it really! This turned out a lot longer than I meant for it to be and I’m probably going to cross post this onto my DeviantArt. So thank you Saboten-Con, it’s been one helluva ride. There were some ups, downs, turns, and spins and while some of those times really really sucked...there were many others that were just so great and I wouldn’t trade them for the world.

#long post technically #sabo2017 #thx for the memories sabo i had a great time #also i apologize to any of the tags this pops up in #i talked a lot about stuff and cosplays and it's probably gonna show up in too many tags im so sorry
