Ateez in Different NSFW Careers

Pairing: ot8

Genre: smut, 21+

Warnings: lots of sex, masturbating, porn, domination/submission, fetishes, lmk if i missed anything egregious

Note: this is an idea for a miniseries but idk and thought id put it out there to see if people are interested (dont bring up the ateez mixtape series, im working on it!) thank you @wingsofimagery @yessa-vie for listening to this brain rot

read more here

Hongjoong:

onlyfans creator, solos of him masturbating or nudes. weirdly artistic? like camera angles on point, edited to perfection, color graded. rarely, if ever, collabs with others. occasionally posts erotic photography of one unidentifiable woman. his subscribers aren't sure what to make of it but pictures of them together are some of his best work. daylights as a photographer and has some of his work in small galleries across the city.

Seunghwa:

amatuer porn star, makes homemade couple porn or something with a close female friend. domestic/bf vibes in every video. v soft with each other even when they're having rough sex. people assume they're actually dating bc of the insane chemistry even though they never show their faces. its his fun dirty little secret no one in the office knows.

Yunho:

boyfriend for hire. specializes in "turn your brain off for the night, i'll handle it." rent him to be your date to an event or just for a night on the town. doesn't always sleep with his client (his discretion) but usually cuddles and will spend the night. just trying to pay off his student loans since being an analyst pays shit. big yunho bc he has a big... u kno? and loves hearing the women he sleeps with rave about it. has had several repeat customers and older women that recommend him to their friends.

Yeosang:

audio erotica. just aside hobby for him. tbh 9/10 times forgets to record or that he even has the account. started bc a girl he was seeing freshman year of college told him she wanted a video with the sound on and he didn't know what that meant but she liked his voice enough to let the completely black screen slide. posts sporadically but always makes waves when he does. people have offered him money for custom audios and he always turns them down.

San:

fetish model. shibari, leather, latex. you name it, he's most likely modeled it. has portrait of himself (unrecongnizable, facing away just his back criss crossed with ropes, hands bound at the base of his spine) hanging in his apartment. his friends think its weird since they know he's the one in the picture but most of the girls he brings home just think he's into some freaky stuff. started bc he would nude model for the art classes at his college when he needed fast money for weed. people assume he likes really kinky sex bc of his job but he prefers vanilla sex most of the time bc his job is so kink heavy. works as a fitness instructor as his 9-5, and had a few people recognize him but most are cool and leave him alone

Mingi:

nsfw twitter creator. videos, pictures, sliding into dms. mingi does it all and enjoys the comments of people thirsting over him even if he's one dick among thousands. for his day job he works in a sex store and flirts with the exotic dancers who come in to buy their costumes (turned down every single time, there's even a pool for how quickly he'll strike out). the one girl that flirted back still lives in his brain rent free bc all she did was smile and he folded like origami. now when she comes in mingi has to remind himself not to drool.

Wooyoung:

cam boy brat, sugars on the side. likes being degraded by his audience when he's bad. lover of milfs, and has a sugar mommy he sees once a month. loves being wined and dined by her and then loved on at her fancy apartment uptown. started doing both in college to pay rent, now works at a dance studio and keeps it up bc the extra cash is nice. enamored with taking pictures during sex. has a collection of polaroids with his current FWB that he cherishes more than anything (always carries one in his phone case). toyed with the idea of having her come on his streams but he doesn't want to share. he should probably look into that more.

Jongho:

dungeon dom (IDK), the kind thats a look don't touch dom. if you need a session to work through your stress, go to him. sexy spanking, punishment spanking, therapy spanking. he's got the knowledge and know how. has a strange collection of vintage dvds and magazines. rare stuff that he treats like art rather than smut. jongho i never want to speak on your name im sorry

Taglist: @tomodachiii @cvpidyunho @miniseokminnies @ddaengpotate @arycutie @gaebestie @primoppang @gyuguys @mine-gyu @doremifasire @missminhoe @toplinehyunjin @crvs4vldtn @prettygyuuu

‎𓊆ྀི from the start .ᐟ𓊇ྀི﹒tannies

𓂃 ୨୧ pairing idol!jungkook x fem!fan!idol!reader

𓂃 ౨ৎ summary yeon yn’s infatuation with bts’ jeon jungkook was a continuous repetitive cycle; she picks her feelings up from where she last left them, allowing her mind and body to be consumed by his very presence, before ultimately getting hurt knowing she couldn’t be with him and letting him go. recently however, the cycle broke. yn found herself falling for jungkook, as his junior in the k-idol industry and in their label. the circle became a single line that got longer and longer as time went on, knowing that he was just within her grasp, so close yet so far. yn was getting tired, chasing after him for so many years. the line was surely going to become a circle again, there was no way he felt the same, right? ❛❛confess i loved you, just thinking of you. i know i've loved you from the start..❞

𓂃 ୨୧ warnings gun mention, suicide mention, drowning & funeral mention, mention of skin swelling & itching, suggestive jokes

𓂃 ౨ৎ bangtan sonyeondan, more commonly known as bts, is a south korean boy group that debuted under kim music on june 13, 2013 with their debut single album ‘2 cool 4 skool’. they brought their company out of bankruptcy with the immense accomplishments they achieved both domestically and internationally, paving the flower road to success for other kpop groups globally. since june 15, 2022 bts is prioritising on releasing solo music.

𓂃 ୨୧ kim seokjin﹒’92 liner. the youngest son of kim music’s ceo, consequently he’s seen as someone who benefited from nepotism. even if the nepotism in question was debuting under a bankrupt company with no real way of knowing if you’d be popular. he makes fun of himself for it, regardless. loves his face and aims to protect it at all costs.

𓂃 ౨ৎ min yoongi﹒’93 liner. claims he was forced to join an idol group, but really that’s just him being overdramatic; he just liked the bond that he had with his members to the point where it overshadowed the dawning realisation that he would have to dance for the rest of his career when he didn’t like moving his body at all.

𓂃 ୨୧ jung hoseok﹒’94 liner. the smiling hopeful persona was just that, a persona, during bts’ debut, but eventually it became 90% of his personality, and now a day won’t go by where hoseok won’t smile brightly, have an optimistic attitude and loudly support the people around him. though the same can’t be said for the remaining 10%.

𓂃 ౨ৎ kim namjoon﹒’94 liner. has seen trainees come and go before bts’ lineup was finalised. cannot see a life without his members, but sometimes he feels like being the leader is exhausting, especially when each member’s personality bounces off one another to create a cacophony that makes him want to live in self isolation.

𓂃 ୨୧ park jimin﹒’95 liner. has been almost kicked out of the bts lineup a whopping 15 times. his members, taehyung in specific, won’t let him live it down. in spite of that, he’s so loved that a picture of him standing with his hands on his hips is framed and hung in the company’s lounge room because of how cute he looks in it.

𓂃 ౨ৎ kim taehyung﹒’95 liner. half the time you won’t know what personality you’re gonna get with this one. he could be quiet and sophisticated one day, and then the next he’s rambling in great detail about how he needs a therian girlfriend. however, he has mellowed since debut, he used to be way more unhinged.

𓂃 ୨୧ jeon jungkook﹒’97 liner. hasn’t been in a relationship in a long while, and genuinely so touch starved that it makes him seem like he’s a virgin, albeit that was far from the truth. though, he doesn’t really do anything about it, he’d rather have all his focus on work than anything else. he still can’t help but think that yn is just so cute.

ྀིmasterlist﹒next ྀི

𓂃 ౨ৎ note i wrote a bit on each member just to set the scene even if most of the stuff is stuff y’all already know 😭 && i will have a taglist for this smau if u want to be added send me an ask <3<3 also no mandatory enlistment in this smau!!! yippee!!!!

i am basing this post from this video, cause i love me some early cpf stories. imagine being one of those who recognized their potential early on, tho this may not be unusual, cause fans love to pair up celebrities that will visually look good together. like this post in 2016:

Zhan Bo is really a good match... I beg you two in the entertainment industry to get to know each other!

I have to agree that their looks match — who doesn’t want two handsome boys in the same place?

Don’t know how legit the other comments like this next one is but it’s funny how things turned out for them.

It was considered a cult CP at that time, right? Because both of them were ostracized by fans in the group, so the black/melon-eating person made fun of them and gave them CP like this.

A cult CP? lol. and i think what the comment meant was that in their respective groups, they were both the ones who had the most potential to go solo and had a solid fanbase. so maybe there was some ‘group fans’ who didn’t like that. From just a few people who dreamt of them working together and a potential CP, and now here we are. 🤍

this other OP talked about someone already forming a CP between them and some of those fans asked wyb in person if he would like a CP with xz who is in another group. wyb allegedly smiled sweetly and did not reply. OP feels like they knew each other even before their TTXS meeting as well and it’s normal because they are in the same circle.

the cpn of them knowing each other and interacting even before cql casting is not new. i love this “new idea” of them being familiar with who the other is because of this CP between them lol. these two are no stranger to searching their names and i would think they did it more frequently earlier in their career. so when they do, the other person’s name comes up. 😂😂😂😂 then they “meet each other” in ttxs and think oh this is the dude people ship me with. lol

it might explain xz’s answer here in their interview. tho what he mentioned after this statement is the 2017 TTXS episode. maybe he was talking about something more. 🤔🤔🤔

this is all fake. 🫶🏼

EDIT: for those who don’t have the weibo app and couldn’t see the video, or those who are not familiar with how posts look like at weibo or just didn’t notice the details. the 2016 post does not have the two photos of zz and wyb on it. obvs, the one used for GG is during our song which was years later. the text post was obvs cropped, and then the photos below were added by the person who edited the video.

see??? on the left? that’s what i mean by cut off. and then the photos were put on top to give the effect of the two boys, with xz looking cute and wyb with that interested expression on his face. 😏

also on the app, the post linked looks like this. (below) the video + screenshots. the browser version of weibo does not support all the features like the actual app. i hope this makes sense ^^

#yizhan #bjyx #there is no science here i’m just clowning like i always do

so floyds colors in the movie look just ever so slightly duller than they did when the brozone bros were younger (at least to me) and that coupled with the down facing ear tips leads me to believe he’s a little gray himself (not surprising after…everything)

maybe thats one of the reasons he didn’t come back? he used to be the sensitive one, most likely the peace maker of the family who tried to talk things out (as seen when he tries to talk vanner into letting him go) and put on a smile to hide his own issues

what if he didn’t come back because he couldn’t do that anymore? that the issues he kept to himself were starting to affect his color and he thought others knowing would cause more issues then it would solve? that is until he was kidnapped and physically couldn’t.

now don’t be fooled im not defending him leaving branch alone by any means it was still a terrible thing to do im honestly just speculating with the little screen time floyd got

i love your au and the fun ideas that come with it keep it up with the amazing work!

also may i be dubbed 🐝 anon?

Thanks for the love!!! And don’t worry I’ll keep it up!

Floyd definitely had to have been grey right?!!?! Especially for a good period of time since his ears were deformed similar to Branch’s and when the other trolls went grey there ears stayed the same so he had to have been grey for a good period of time (maybe he turned grey during a rough patch in his solo career and felt like a failure leaving Branch for a failing career)

Honestly it would be hypocritical of me to hate on Floyd for not coming back because he was ashamed of being grey (when a part of the grey village au is how all the grey pop trolls are to ashamed to go back to pop village)

I give the brothers a lot of hate as you can see in my past posts with how the village is shown to despise them! When in reality I do LOVE them to!! I just have a lot of hate for their actions and feel they should be given consequences for them, such as their brother moving on and getting a new family (plus an entire village that hates them) Honestly I think it’s fine that they left, family can’t be forced to stay with you your entire life (like when your siblings go to college) my problem is how they left during an ARGUMENT! How they cut contact, How they left A BABY!!! In a town with a yearly genocide of trolls (and their grandma) He was left in the care of an old lady, an old lady who was old (I have nothing against grandparent caretakers) She would have had a difficult time raising a baby with her age (not to mention being a gambler, weird thing to learn about her) She seems to have done really well raising Branch from flashbacks in the show or when she’s talked about BUT STILL!! She also could’ve dropped dead any second (who knows what a trolls life expectancy is?!?!?! She could’ve been on death’s doorstep for all we know!)My point is they left him in a bad environment where he could die by the hands of troll eating Bergens Rosie did good, but she was old (also she let all her underage grandkids leave LIKE WHAT??!!?!! She was just playing rummy during the fight too 😦 wtf Rosie!!!)

Sorry this was a bit of a rant- and I don’t mean to offend anyone with how I think it was bad that grandma Rosiepuff was made his guardian because she is old!! I was mostly speaking through my cousins experience with how grandparents can’t be as attentive as they should when taking care of a kid (let alone a baby) because of their age, they will try their best they just have problems due to being older (I mean their bodies aren’t exactly as they used to be)

Can you do a scenario with 2008 Bill Kaulitz dating a member of a popular pop girl group, maybe a one from the UK? (Making one up obvs) And they met during US promotions. Touching on language barriers (different accents lol), long distance, both having a big fanbase, how different their music is ect <33 your writing is fantastic btw

(Hello! Sure I can and I'm so glad you like my writing! Sorry this took so long but I hope you enjoy!)

Too Close To The Stars

I think he was surprised at himself for dating someone almost exactly like him

I think he expected to date someone who wasn't famous to keep your relationship out of the media

But he's so glad that he ended up with you as a girlfriend

He loves you sm

Hell go to all your concerts, in the crowd or backstage to meet you the second you get off that stage

Before you guys started dating he liked your groups music a little bit

And he has heard of you guys on tabloids and also through interviews he watched in his hotel rooms that played on the TV

For some reason you just caught his eye

Be it style, how you carried yourself, how beautiful you were, your laugh or your smile he was just captivated by you

It was an interview that took place in the UK and then it became a place he wanted to play at

If it meant meeting you he wanted to do it

He liked seeing how close you were with your friends because it made him think you get it

Like being in a band with your friends like he was

He was so nervous when he first met you

Somehow both your managers decided the two up and coming bands should do a Collab sorta thing

It was also a promotions to get your groups more known across the US

You guys started off with interviews and even you and Bill got a solo shoot due to being both the main singers

To say he was ecstatic and nervous was an understatement

Your two bands got along perfectly and it was actually a pretty great time when you guys hung out

Every single hang out could be as chaotic as shit and have you all with major hangovers the next day

See Tour Shenanigans for more on your hangouts

You and Bill got along great though, mostly

You guys had some language barriers but you guys got around them

Bill and you would draw out what you were saying, try and use hand signals the best you could

Bill knew English but liked talking in German to fluster or confuse you

You learned German behind his back to spite him

But before you did he called you so many nicknames when you couldn't understand and the guys were just cheering Bill on

You didn't understand till you learned German

He loved your accent though

He just could listen to it for hours at any given time of any day

He was very sullen when you guys had to part ways when everything was over

Especially because of the distance between you both

You guys very much so liked each other at this point

He and the band saw you guys off and he gave you a kiss goodbye

He was so giggly after it when you gave one back

You guys decided to stay friends with crushes, not specifically dating yet, but only talking to one another

He called you everyday to keep up with your lives

He always saw you on TV and doing your interviews

He always loved seeing you in promotions or on magazine covers even when he didn't see you

He traveled to your concerts to surprise you after not seeing you for a while

He has fun with your fanbase

Like whenever someone asks about you he always talks about you proudly with a smile

When he sees your fans he is sorta smug on how they're you're fans but he's the one to kiss and hold you

He really does love your fans though as they're a big part of your career

He hates the disrespectful and snobby ones though

Or the ones who go after him and your relationship

He mostly ignores the toxic fans and focuses on you

He didn't expect to have that great love especially with someone so famous as you but he's glad he does

I always get so sad when I think about the bachelors and bachelorttes not being able to achieve their dreams :( so how do you think the game would be different if they had? like before they meet the farmer? (i love your writing by the way,,,)

While I was thinking about this, the main question in my head was “Why would any of them still be in Pelican Town if they achieved their dreams?” Sooo I had to put them through some bullshit to get them all in one place lmao. Thank you for enjoying my writing, it means... way more than any of you probably realize. Anyway, this was fun to think about, and I hope you have fun reading it! <3

Mentions of parental death, abuse, infidelity, dysfunctional familial relationships, and reference to Leah’s shitty ex (FUCK YOU, KEL!)

Sam was the lead singer of his own band, but is now struggling to find his new normal after the members decided to go their separate ways. It certainly doesn’t help that they ended on negative terms, and their fanbase has become fractured due to the controversy surrounding the break-up. Sam has come back to Pelican Town to spend time with his family and figure out which direction he wants to take his career, but his band-mates said ill-intended things about him before they broke up, and he’s struggling to make amends with his perception of himself. He tries to write new songs, but he isn’t liking anything he’s come up with, and it’s reflecting poorly on his self-esteem. He wonders if his fans will still be there waiting once he’s ready to release his solo-music, and is paralyzed with fear about what will happen to him and his career if they aren’t.

Sebastian is a professional coder. He saved up enough money to move away as soon as he turned eighteen, and has only visited for holidays since. He was previously engaged while living in the city, but after his fiancé cheated on him with a coworker, he returned to Pelican Town to pick up the pieces of his heart. During his time away he managed to check himself into therapy, so he’s well-equipped to handle conflicts with his family, and his relationship with his mother and sister have improved dramatically since, which is really nice. He is trying his best to pursue a healthier relationship with Demetrius, but the man really doesn’t make it easy. Robin also added an extension to the house, so he doesn’t live in the basement anymore. His room has a window now, but he still prefers the rain, and discovers with surprise that he likes the rain in Pelican Town more than he ever did in the city. It’s nice to see the frogs again.

Alex is a professional gridball player. His mother passed away before she could see him achieve his dreams, but his father has contacted him many times. Alex knows his father doesn’t actually want a relationship with him, though, because the only times he’s contacted him is to ask for money. Alex blocks his dad’s number after catching sight of him on the news, trying to drag Alex's name through the mud, but eventually moves away when his dad breaks into his apartment and wrecks the place. He settles back into his bedroom at Evelyn and George’s house, and tries not to feel too drained by the legal proceedings. It’s pretty relaxing though, going back home during his off-season. Not to mention he really missed the summers in Pelican Town.

Elliott is a reputable author. He’s written a trilogy or two, a smattering of stand-alone novels, and even has a few broadway credits. But after years of constantly writing, he’s burnt out and tired, and needs a break, so he moves out of his stuffy apartment in the city and into the cabin on the beach. He commissions Robin for expansions and repairs, and it’s turned into quite a nice place, if he should be so bold to say so. He talks to Willy a lot, and after hearing the stories the fisherman has collected over the years, he kind of wants to write a book about pirates or some other kind of adventurer, but nothing is coming to mind. He’s got an excess of inspiration and drive, but the moment his pen hits the paper, his mind goes blank. It’s incredibly irritating.

Shane is one of the most notable film directors of the last decade, and he’s got quite a number of credits under his belt. His IMDb page is massive, and while he doesn’t get recognized on the street very often, anyone who knows anything about film will know his name. He moved to Pelican Town with Jas after the death of her parents. Riddled with grief, he had the presence of mind to recognize some bad habits were developing, and he couldn’t really handle the pressure of celebrity life anymore. He drinks occasionally, but he doesn’t consider himself an alcoholic. He only drinks a few times a week—and compared to his colleagues in the city—that’s nothing.

Harvey is an experienced pilot. He initially wanted to join the Ferngill Republic Air Force, but after many discussions with his parents, he decided to pursue an ATP certification and become an airline pilot instead. However, due to the recent trauma of a severe crash, Harvey is taking a break from flying. He’s become intensely afraid of heights, and the thought of getting in a plane makes him physically sick to his stomach. He’s been working on it, but it’s already been a year, and he’s not any closer to being back in the pilot’s chair. What’s wrong with him?

Maru went to university to pursue a career in STEM, but was quickly disillusioned and decided it wasn’t for her, so she decided to switch gears and abandon her dream school. Robin understood after a short explanation and told her to come back home, but Maru’s relationship with her father has become strained since, and even though they regularly experiment in the lab together, it causes some unnecessary drama in the household. Maru tries not to let it get to her too much, but it does. More positively though, her relationship with Sebastian has improved since they both came home, and they can actually hold a conversation without getting irritated at each other. She likes hanging out with her brother, but wishes that they could've gotten along like this as kids, too. They have a lot of years to catch up on!

Penny was a stay-at-home-mom up until a few months ago, when her partner suddenly decided domestic life wasn’t for them, and yanked the rug out from under her. With nowhere to go and no employment, she trudged back to Pelican Town with her tail between her legs and a toddler on her hip, to move back in with her mother. She teaches Vincent and Jas regularly, and works as a private tutor for a few clients in the town over. Pam chose to take on the majority of childcare for her grandchild, but she’s excelling at it and hasn’t stepped foot in the saloon in a long time. It should be a great thing, but Penny doesn’t know why she’s so bothered by it.

Abigail is an active member of the adventurer’s guild, a highly skilled swordswoman, and she will occasionally dabble with the magical forces of Stardew Valley under the careful guidance of her mentor, Rasmodius. Yes, she knows. No, she doesn’t mention it, and neither does he. She doesn’t live with her parents anymore. When she was looking to move out, she asked to buy the deed to the old farm, but was quickly shot down by Lewis, and decided instead to claim the decrepit cabin south of Rasmodius’ tower. Robin helped her fix it up, and after a few months, it was in good enough repair to move in permanently. She spends most of her days down in the mines, clearing the monsters on the lower floors. She’s never gone past level 20, if only to save herself from her mother’s tearful begging, but Pierre has given up. They don’t speak much.

Haley is a prolific photographer. Her portfolio is hefty, some photos dating back from when she was in high school, but the most recent picture is from three months ago, and she hasn’t picked up her camera since. She doesn’t know why, but nothing looks interesting enough to shoot anymore. The world looks flat and dull, but maybe that’s just the city. When her parents ask her and her sister to watch their house in Pelican Town while they galavant through the archipelago on some “soul-searching-journey,” she accepts without preamble. Maybe she just needs a change of scenery to get her inspiration back. Maybe she’ll find her muse?

Leah is a revered artist, and many of her pieces are in museums and art galleries. She tries to live in the city, but quickly realizes that she hates it, and after a few misses, she moves to Pelican Town. The lush flora and fauna kick her inspiration into overdrive, and with the amount of foraged greens she’s been eating since moving into the cabin next to Marnie’s, she doesn’t think she’s ever felt so good. Unfortunately her ex Kel is determined to sniff her out, and that puts a damper on her shiny new life in Pelican Town. She wishes it was because they actually loved her, but she knows it’s only because they miss the luxurious life Leah’s job afforded them. She tries not to think too hard about that, though.

Emily is a fashion designer! She’s had plenty of shows during different fashion weeks and other events, and many name-brands have collaborated with her. She does do stylist work on the side, and many of her clients are a-list celebrities or high profile professionals. She prefers the countryside, though, so when her parents offered her and her sister their place in Pelican Town, she jumped at the opportunity! Only thing is, it’s been years since her and Haley have occupied the same space, and every resident in town has a dark cloud of thick negative energy hovering over their heads. She’s overwhelmed with guilt, knowing she can’t do anything to help.

Alas, the human experience.

It’s been a rough patch, so much happening, so many hard things, and I forget, that C is in it with me, and it’s happening to him as well.

We had been fussing, and I went to my weekend morning yoga. During yoga, you can pick what to dedicate your practice too, or what to focus on. Under the 8 limbs of yoga, there is Satya, truthfulness or ‘your truth.’ I’ve been dedicating my practice to this for a week now, and during practice, it came to me, that what I want most, through everything, is to come to the other side of this hell (losing mom, dads diagnosis, his plethora of extended challenges surrounding this, the in-laws, all of it) - this incredibly heavy time, with Chris by my side.

In marriage, or any long-term relationship or friendship, I believe you come to these points. Or maybe everyone isn’t tested as hard, or as hard headed as we are, regardless, at this crossroads, I only want to come through this crucible stronger and more capable.

When I came home, we had a long talk - which, is hard with young children - and included too much screen time, extravagant promises to them, and copious candy and junk food bribes.

I’m Lucky in that he also wants to come Out the other side with me in tow. We sorted the real crux; his burnout with work leading to me feeling solo at home, coupled with my frustration in having to re-engage him. There is so much more to it, at the bare bones though, we have been through the ringer in the last 6 months, let alone the last 5 years. It’s human nature to withdraw and think of self at deeply painful and intense times. I’m not sure it’s as natural to look outside yourself for answers and solutions. At least not for someone who has always had to find their own way through.

There is so much past life here, that colors and clouds our thoughts and beliefs on relationships, expectations, you name it. Theres hardly enough space here for that, or hours in the day, to cover it all… suffice it to say, everyone has history, baggage, belief systems, and there are times, in life, relationships, careers, you come to these pivotal points, and you decide, to grow with, and include someone else in that process, or to do that singularly, and potentially grow apart.

Then we hosted Easter for 30 people at our house, and the only real phone I have, is with our son and 2 of my cousins kiddos, sans Lilith -

It’s a beautiful photo 💚

> dads ct came back showing he has 2 nodules that are gone and the large lung mass shrinking in size. This is so encouraging, we know it’s buying time, but damn if it doesn’t feel good to have a little more of that.

> able to get one day a week back for work from home

> spreading out from traditional ‘green’ plants

My zz raven and red secret are 2 beauties I’m playing with. Picked up a killer variegated Thai Constellation as well that I’m just so excited about -

This baby, can come as quite the expense and I LUCKED UP BAYBEE 🤘

My aunt brought me a purple heart-

And c my very first orchid -

> we’ve been in the yard. Garden prepping. Greenhouse planning.

And I found this super fun ‘grill’ birdhouse for the back 💚

May we all grow, as we are intended to grow, and continue to have love and hope in our hearts.

Seek your Satya xx

#satya #nashville #615 #working mom #marriage #plantblr #find your joy #keep trying #Spotify

Why do you think they even put Hook foot on the caravan anyways? I understand Shorty for comic relief, but why Hook Foot? They may have wanted someone to balance out the two duos of Rapunzel and Cass and Eugene and Lance, or someone to fill the slot Ariana would’ve had on the caravan trip, but that didn’t have to be Hook Foot. And was Lance (and for that matter, Varian) even developed during the point where Ariana would’ve been on the trip? If not, that point may be moot. They may have wanted to put another guy on the team for when Lance was out of commission during the S1 premiere. But my personal opinion for why they chose Hook Foot specifically is that they really, really wanted to do both the Seraphina episode and the episode with Hook Hand, which afterwards Hook Foot no longer mattered to plot so he left. I think they wanted to bring back Hook Hand for an episode and have him and Hook Foot interact, and I guess they figured the best time for that was when they were on the road, but I can just imagine someone who worked on the show just really liking the concept of Hook Foot and a mermaid having a romantic thing going, and then they decide to make an actual episode about it, and that being the main reason they put him on the caravan 😂

So, fun fact from what I know about Hook Foot existing at all: They wanted it to be Hook Hand, but Brad Garret wanted them to pay him way more money/amenities to play him than they had the budget for, and they weren't going to get a sound-alike. Their general rule was: if the original cast can't be the character, that character won't be in it. Ultimately, they got Brad for one (1) episode, and I believe that was agreed upon much farther down the road, not when they first asked him to reprise the roll. In fact, there are early storyboards where Hook Hand is included, and Hook Foot is nowhere to be seen. (Unfortunately, I can't seem to find said storyboard at this time, or I'd show you.)

I have no idea why they ultimately decided not to include Arianna on the trip, but I think that was decided on well before they decided to include Hook Foot. So it's not a case of "instead," more a case of "they went in a different direction".

As for why Hoot Foot was included in season two at all, while I don't have any hard facts about this, I feel like it has something to do with making Eugene more serious during the season (especially towards the end), and so they needed comic relief to balance him out. They (and by "they" I mean "probably Ben Balistreri") seemed to really like the gag where his hook foot was used as a tool. And, yeah, probably also to balance out the traveling party, numbers-wise.

But primarily, I feel like it was because they wanted an excuse to have him not be at the wedding (I guess, even though Hook Hand ultimately was). Like, Hook Foot was the first of the cast to leave the party permanently. I think we're meant to assume that, between him joining Hook Hand on the road, and then not being at the wedding, that he either got his solo career and/or ultimately went off to be with Seraphina (like the end card implied, even though that was just one artist's personal desire). Either way, someone in the crew (again, probably Ben) really liked him enough to include him.

Jimin's documentary is what I've been wanting from bts for YEARS. I'm so glad they released such raw material. Jimin's musicality is insane, and it seems like the producers were 100% aware of that because of how much they relied on jimin and his creativity. I think it was during the commentary that he mentioned what he felt the first time pdogg approved one of his ideas, and then he called himself an idea bank!! He's usually so hard on himself, it's refreshing to hear that even though there's always a place for improvement, he knows how good he is. Another thing I enjoyed was listening to the previous versions of the songs that made it into the album and the one that was supposed to be the title track and finally got scrapped. I think I liked the alone and set me free pt.2 demos a bit more than the final product. I feel like that intrinsic grittiness and unpolished quality of an unfinished product was really fitting, and in the case of smf2 I kinda feel like it ended up overproduced... I guess, if that makes sense. Anyways, I really, really appreciate the route Jimin decided to take for his solo career, I truly hope we get to see more of that before he leaves, and when he comes back I'd love for him to get the chance to continue showing his artistry as a soloist. And regarding army shading jimin and trying to undermine him lol... what else is new? I remember namjoon once said that army would not like to see what it looks like behind the scenes when they were recording and stuff and I guess he was right. I know they hated to see how reality goes against the narratives the company has been feeding them for a decade. The supposed geniuses in the band have yet to release something as good as like crazy and they know it.

I was trying to catch some of the things Jimin said during his live watching and I was so pleasantly surprised to see how confident he was. Like, yes. He is an idea bank. That's the best way to put it because during the production, he kept coming up with stuff on the spot. I think PDogg and the rest of the marching band were so open to this because they knew how Jimin worked. That's why I keep saying that having a small team with people that know each other so well worked perfectly for Jimin and his first album.

There's no way of knowing exactly what RM said about what happens behind the scenes during pre-recordings and if it's close to what we've seen now in the documentary, but what I took from that is that in real life, people having to work on something is not all sunshines and rainbows or fun like when they recorded the ITS song. The audience gets to see the nicer, aesthetized version a lot of the times.

I'll refrain from commenting on the rapline releases now, but I'll do say about Like Crazy is that out of all the so-called "Chapter 2" songs, it is in my view the only one which is artistically compelling, intricate, well produced, tells a story, it's part of a bigger conceptual album, but also has the potential to be commercially succesful as well, which is the mark of a good pop song.

A Work Proposal (Part 5)

Pairing: Jeongin x reader Word Count: 2.4k Genre: Smut Warnings: 18+, minors dni, pubic sex, swearing, unprotected sex (don't be stupid), creampie, oral sex (m receiving), dirty talk (nothing too hardcore)

You had been working with Stray Kids for a while now and after a long day at work turns into a very unexpected but intriguing proposal. Will this change your world or end your career?

Photo shoots for brands were always the easiest, followed by solo magazine shoots, group brand shoots and lastly official Stray Kids photo shoots in that order, the boys were most likely to tease each other and play around when they were all together. You knew this and everyone on their team did and it wasn't that they were unprofessional, nothing could be further from the truth, but they did genuinely act like a family and would just make fun out of the funniest or smallest thing.

Today, however, was not going to be like that at all. Jeongin had his first solo cover shoot and you were off to the location with him, Chan had told you he was nervous and had the others had too many other things on their schedules to attend with him. You were thrilled to go after all who wouldn't like to sit around an look at beautiful things all day, Jeongin being one of those beautiful things, and you were also glad he was finally getting some of the recognition he deserved. So you were sitting beside him in the van on your way there chatting about anything and nothing to fill the time. Jeongin was curious to you he could be so quiet and sweet that you were sure he was the perfect boy next door but other times he would tell the filthiest jokes or make comments that even made Minho blush, you were never sure where you sat with him.

"So is there anything that is off limits with the agreement?" He whispered making sure that the driver couldn't hear his question.

"Not during work" you mumbled back carefully "No hitting, spitting or hurting me"

"None of those things would happen, I would never do any of that" He replied instantly "but what about outside? or in the van?" he smirked.

"If it is after you have finished that should be fine" you mused softly thinking about how he would manage that without being seen by any other staff member. Jeongin just grinned widely which you belatedly realized he probably already had something planned.

"Here we are" the driver called pulling into a standard looking office building garage.

"Thank you" you smiled politely collecting your bag as you stepped out of the van before Jeongin. Thankfully there were no press photographers around today so you had far less to worry about than when they were all together. Walking into the magazines office Jeongin was greeted and led to his private artist room which was away from the hair and make up room, meaning that you would no doubt be working alone in his area for most of your day which was a relief. Often you found the hair and make up team, while usually very friendly, wanted to try to pump you for information about the kids, which you hated. Sometimes they were too interested making you uncomfortable for the guys and occasionally you wondered if they were sasaengs who managed to finally get close enough so keeping Jeongin away from overly friendly strangers made you feel better about it all.

"So, since the photographer isn't here yet and the stylist isn't ready how should we fill our time" Jeongin teased smirking at you as he made his way over to the door which he locked slowly.

"Jeongin" you warned playfully, you knew that the area was empty and that technically he hadn't started his schedule for the day yet.

"What? you said not in work hours and was are not is work hours are we angel?" he was almost prowling towards you as you watched the smile on his face get bigger as he knew he was right.

"I hate it when you boys are right I never hear the end of it" you muttered not really minding as long as you didn't get caught. After the last time there had to be a few NDA agreements signed and reassignments from one team to another, all at Chan's behest.

"So....can we have a little bit of time to play then" he grinned wickedly pulling you against him and claiming your lips. You had assumed Jeongin would be the softest one of the boys being the sweet little baby but the way he groped your arse and nibbled your bottom lip made you realize otherwise. You allowed him to guide you behind the screened off area where he would be changing his outfits, all the way to the back wall where he lent against the wall continuing his assault on your lips. You allowed him access to your mouth after the second swipe of his tongue against the seam of your lips which he feverishly took advantage of sliding it against your own as he groaned softly pushing himself completely against you. Your fingers wound themselves into his soft clean hair tugging lightly at the locks at the back of his head making him softly grind his hardening length against your hip making you gasp.

"Angel would you mind sucking me off? We don't have time for anything else yet" He panted softly against your lips making you smirk at him.

"I can definitely do that" you whispered seductively as he stepped back from you undoing his jeans and letting them fall around his ankles. You moved him so he was against the wall dropping to your knees teasingly slowly licking you lips at the outline of his still covered cock in his boxers.

"You look so pretty like that angel" he almost moaned as you carefully lowered his boxer and took him in your hand pumping him a few times to tease him before opening your mouth and looking up at him through your lashes. He groaned loudly as you took him into your mouth and sucked his tip before taking the rest of him until he was almost in your throat.

"Fuck" he whimpered as you lazily bobbed up and down his length tongue swirling around his tip every time you almost completely pulled of his cock "You are so fucking good" he continued whimpering as he clenched his hands beside him.

"You can touch me Jeongin" you purred pulling your mouth away from him for a moment only to take him further down your throat with the next pass of your mouth.

"Thank you" he groaned one hand cupping your face the other sliding into your hair holding you tightly enough to feel his strength but not hard enough for you to feel like he was directing you. You braced one hand on his thigh using the other to cup his balls rolling them in your palm and squeezing or tugging softly when you felt he needed more. After a few minutes you could feel him losing himself in your throat, his hips moving ever so slightly to meet you and his grip getting slightly tighter.

"I want to fuck your throat angel please" he begged his voice slightly slurred by his pleasure you hummed to let him know it was alright with you as he gently increased his pace still cupping your face as he began fucking your throat.

"Oh shit, shit I'm gonna cum down your throat angel would you like that?" he moaned his volume increasing with each movement of your head. You hummed around him again as his head fell back against the wall thrusting a few more times before he emptied himself in your throat and mouth. Jeongin pulled you up to your feet roughly kissing you fiercely as you came down from his high.

"You are fucking perfect angel" he whispered breathing hard as he regained his composure and you left him to get himself redressed and ready for the impending photo shoot.

Almost ten minutes later there was a knocking on the dressing room door which you answered dutifully making it look as though Jeongin was getting ready.

"We are ready to start hair and make up if you are" the assistance smiled widely as you nodded waiting for Jeongin to make his way out.

"Of course lets do this" He chirped happily following her from the room to leave you to work in peace unless he needed you.

Another 45 minutes passed and you got a one word text for him just saying help, concerned you made your way to the hair and make up team where you also found the stylist and two assistants crowded around either just staring or very obviously trying to flirt.

"Mr Yang" you smiled politely weaving your way between them to his side "I was wondering if you would be happy to go over the schedule for the rest of the day and this evening so I can make sure it matches up with Mr Bang's assistant?" you used your professional tone that left no room for any one to argue with you.

"Of course, it's less stress for Chan that way" he grinned looking up at you from the hair stylists chair.

"Would you all excuse us?" you asked politely which Jeongin knew was the fake business tone you used to make people obey you. The other four girls scattered leaving only the hairstylist to finish the already incredibly basic style he was having for the shoot, which you were sure she was dragging out so she got to flirt with him.

"What time do we leave here?" he asked innocently looking at you in the mirror.

"Well we need to be at the video shoot at 7:00 so not later the 6:00 to give you time to get there on schedule then the shoot should take four hours before you will be taken back again" you listed scrolling your screen to make it look like you weren't making stuff up to get rid of the hair stylist. A few more questions from Jeongin and she had left you alone leaving him breathing a sigh and you glaring daggers at the doorway she had just left through.

"Would you sit in on the shoot so we can keep it as short and professional as possible?" he whispered to ensure no one could be eavesdropping"

"Of course" you mouthed back as he stood as quickly looking around to see if anyone was around before dropping a soft sensual kiss to you lips before laughing at your flustered look.

"The photographer should be ready by now" he smiled making his way out of the room which you quickly followed.

The shoot was far faster than when there were several members or all of the members which made you more relieved since it would be less taxing for you to protect him from the giggling staff members. After a few hours you were back in the parking garage waiting for your driver to pick you up to get lunch.

"Since we have some more time to kill" he smirked grabbing your wrist and pulling you out of the garage into the alley way beside it kissing you deeply one hand pulling your hips against him as he pressed you into the brick wall behind you. His kisses were needy and hot like he was a man desperate for you and you could find the will to tell him no as his tongue danced with yours and his hands began to wander your body squeezing and kneading at your soft flesh.

Letting his lips move from yours he started kissing his way along your jaw and neck rolling his hips subtly against you you could feel his hard on as you gasped when he reached the sensitive spot below your ear. His hand slipped to your pants carefully undoing them and sliding his hand inside before you could even figure out what he was doing.

"Fuck, have you been this wet the whole time?" he groaned softly into your ear his hot breath fanning against your neck

"Jeongin, we can'y not here it's the middle of the day" you gasped his fingers lightly circling your clit sending shocks of pleasure through you.

"Yes we can angel I'll be quick so no one sees me filling this wet little cunt" he growled against your ear again pulling himself away from you he pushed you pants and underwear down your legs and freed himself from his jeans before spinning you so your face was pushed against the cool bricks, you could feel yourself getting even more turned on as he slid one hand down yous back to give your arse a quick slap "Tell me to stop or tell me to fuck you angel"

"Please fuck me Jeongin" you groaned feeling himself guide his cock to your entrance and sheath himself entirely inside you.

"Shit, so tight angel" he moaned loudly pounding into you without giving you time to adjust making you mewl as you tried to keep up with his rough pace.

"Hope someone comes out here and sees you clenching around my dick, bet you would love that angel" he groaned and he picked up his pace again making you keen loudly. "That's it angel let everyone know how much you love me owning this cunt"

You had never experienced anyone talking dirty to you but every filthy word that fell from his lips made you impossibly more aroused the sound of his cock thrusting into you got wetter and wetter as he got closer to his release. The sound of your driver arriving on the other side of the wall you were being fucked against and potentially hearing you made Jeongin speed up even more he was snapping his hips against you so hard you were beginning to ache but somehow that made you feel twice as much pleasure.

"You like that do you? the driver hearing you get filled up with cum? hearing you get fucked like a whore?" Jeongin snarled into yous ear latching his mouth onto your clothed shoulder to muffle his moans as his thrusts began to stutter.

"Jeongin" you moaned biting your own hand to keep yourself quiet as you walls clamped around him.

"Fuck" he almost yelled into your shoulder biting down as his cock swelled inside of you before he filled you with his seed "Fuck" he panted pulling himself from you still quivering pussy. You could feel his cum start to drip from your entrance and instantly pulled your underwear up to prevent making a mess of your pants.

"Shall we go back to the company now" you gasped while still trying to catch your breath.

"Lets go back to yours so you can get cleaned up first then we can get lunch on the way" Jeongin grinned helping dust off your clothes.

"Good plan" you smiled pecking his cheek lightly as he led you back into the garage.

Hear me out:

All solo leveling characters as singers and songwriters

What genre would everyone be? Would there be bands and groups? Would they play an instrument or just sing?

Oh this is fun! @manawari and @stormdragon23 already have so much content about the boyband SL arise!

As for my takes, they are a bit shifted here and there but I'll do my best to make it fun!

Jinwoo: Freelance Singer

A freelance singer (who plays bass) that had a lot of trouble getting into the spotlight depsite working his ass off everyday to the point where he would have a sore throat and his fingers would go numb, one day caught the attention of Ashborn and his manager Kandiru. He made the guy go extremly viral and, a few days after meeting him again as a waiter (a side job that Jinwoo had bc singing wouldnt pay the bills) he asked if he wanted some help to get himself into the spotlight and presented him to a lesser known, but insanely rich, songwriter: Yoo Jinho. Kandiru didnt understand why Ashborn liked the boy, but after hearing some original music that Jinwoo and Jinho made, it all began to make sense. I think his genre would be a range of Indie rock, Pop rock, R&B soul and Hip Hop Rap. I think his low voice would be good for those kinds of genres, kinda like a mix of Ado or NF.

Haein: Anonymous K pop Artist

Her voice could fill quite a lot roles within the music industry so she never had a genre that defined her. With her connections during her time as sports icon, she managed to make a name for herself as "that annonymous Kpop artist". Her dances always tended to go viral despite no one knowing how she looks like (she puts on a mask bc she likes her privacy and even if she was a sport star no one areally makes the link connections since she had ended that career a long time ago to pursue her own music dreams) and some of her songs have been on the best anime seasons so far. Her hidding her face (and also her body by wearing extravagant metal cosplays) was also something unusual in the Kpop industry famous for showing one's appearacne to earn more fans. And though many placed rumors that she was ugly, it didnt stop people from liking her songs at all.

Juhee: Country Girl

She is not that well known but her songs do go popular with a lot of elderly people nowadays, especially since her folklore and country music brings a sense of familiarity and warmth that not many songs in the manistream tend to have nowadays. She writes her own scripts and was the one to teach Jinwoo about music and bass when she was starting out. They still keep in contact afterwards even as Jinwoo keeps getting more and more busy with all the tours he has to make. Cottage core lesbians always place her songs on their playlists.

Jongin and Yoonho: Musical Rivals

Two men who grew up in very different livelyhoods but had a fascination with broadway musicals all the way until university. Yoonho likes the more traditional approach and is usually more known through his theater and opera acts while Jongin's fame grew by doing musical covers on Youtube and voicing characters on shows that often included singing (think of it like Hazbin hotel, disney movies, pich perfect, glee). They both respect each other but absolutely trie to throw as much shade and salt towards each other on twitter as possible.

The fans dont know degration and isnults is what each other are into, which is how more often than not they end up in fandom wars as well.

Somewhere out there, a producer is thinking whenevr or not her should make a live action movie and have them both kiss at the end.

Thomas Andre: Country Rock

This man own whatever his weird but amazing genre it is. Man does not know the limits of what decency is. Hes gotten canceled so many times, is a troll with his songs, once made a song with a bunny suit on knowing no one could talk shit about it or else they would get folded like a tortilla. His career as a singer over rides the criminal and boxer careers he had when he was young. He makes like, two songs per year, goes into hideout, and then comes back with two banger songs before going back into hideout again. The drums are his thing, which Laura tends to buy a lot of since he keeps breaking them a lot of the times due to his excitement.

He also wrote some gospel music for his mom.

No one knows this but he has fallen in love with opera.

Esil Radiru: Universal Idol

No one knows how this girl came to be but her rock and electronic music always light up bars and discos around the world, she has a way with her music and has managed to become so popular in such a short ammount of time that many have thought she might have made a deal with the devil himself. The reality is that she just has really good marketing and her parents are rich.

Liu Zhigang: China's Most Famous Actor and Singer

From a young age he's wanted to become a singer and put all of his effort into being one. He cares a lot about his looks, especially his hair, most of the fanbase adores him for being so unique in that sense as well. His extroverted attitude, his unapologetic way of talking and singing in as many donhuas as possible is what draws so many fangirls to him.

How It Turned Out - Harry Styles Fic Part 1

Y/N is a musician who started her career around the same time Harry went solo. They’ve never met, but they share a lot of the same fans and are frequently compared to one another.

In part 1 Y/N is reluctantly being interviewed on the Howard Stern show, and doesn’t hesitate to put him in his place.

Masterlist

Howard: So, Y/N the new record is great, are you happy with how it turned out?

Y/N: Haha well, you would hope I was happy with it, otherwise it would’ve been a bit silly to release it. I think it’s my favourite album so far, just because of the balance between different moods. Its a bit sweet, a bit sad, a bit sexy, a bit silly. And that feels true to me as a person you know.

Howard: It’s definitely sexy, I’ll give you that much! I mean wow. The most recent single especially. What inspired you to write about sex between women like that?

Y/N: Most of my music is inspired by my life in some way. I’ve written songs about having sex with men, too. It’s just that this one stands out a little more because it’s something people haven’t seen as much.

Howard: Well, I for one say bring on more songs like it. I mean, I’ll let you in on a secret here Y/N, hearing about women having sex like that is an absolute wet dream for guys like me.

Y/N: *gives him an icy stare* I didn’t right the song for guys like you, I’m afraid. I wrote it for girls like me. There’s so little written about queer sex, and especially queer sex that is both sexy and funny. So that’s what inspired the song I suppose.

Howard: Huh, well I don’t what you’re smoking when you’re having sex that’s that funny, but sign me up!

Y/N: *stifles a snort of laughter* Ah, well I’m sorry, not every one is cut out to be able to entertain their partners. But don’t worry there’s still time to learn. *looks slyly at the camera* I think it’s easy to have fun during sex when you know what you’re doing.

Howard: *suddenly defensive* Right, we better move onto the next question I think...

Y/N: Go ahead.

Howard: There’s been quite a lot of chat about you being the Female Harry Styles. What do you make of that?

Y/N: *struggles not to roll her eyes, she’s been asked about this a lot* It’s always flattering to be compared to another artist, especially one as talented as Harry. And I see where people a coming from a little, we definitely have a few of the same influences, and we share the same penchant for flamboyant outfits and rainbow flags. It’s always a little frustrating, though, to be reduced to the “female version” of someone else. I mean, he may have had a head start from being in the band, but our solo careers started at pretty similar times. We’ve both built our own careers, and mine isn’t really anything to do with his.

Howard: Ah so you’d prefer it if he was being called the male version of you then? Or maybe just another female version of you if he keeps dressing like that, haha!

Y/N: I don’t think it’s really appropriate for you to be making judgements about another person’s gender or their clothing. But you’ve illustrated pretty well there how reductive it is to put people into little boxes like that.

Howard: Oof, you’re a feisty one aren’t you.

Y/N: I get that a lot.

Howard: I believe that, I tell you.

Y/N: I find that it’s a word men use when faced with a woman they don’t know what to do with.

Howard: *stunned silence*

Y/N: Shall we move on to the next question?

Howard: Yes, um. Uh, a lot of your fans have been practically begging you to collaborate with Mr Styles, is that something that’s in the pipeline?

Y/N: I wouldn’t say so, given that we’ve not met each other, but never say never.

Howard: So what does make you want to collaborate with other artists. You’ve worked with quite a few different people over the years, including on the new record.

Y/N: *relieved that the interview is finally headed somewhere less uncomfortable* It’s great fun working with other artists, so that’s one of the main things. I’m not gonna waste time writing a song with someone if it’s gonna feel like pulling teeth.

Howard: Smart.

Y/N: Haha, yeah. But I also like working with people when it feels like we’ve got something we want to say together, you know. Maybe shared experience, a shared passion or an issue we want to bring attention to. That’s when I find collaborating most rewarding.

Howard: Speaking of which, Now seems like a good time for you to play us a song..!

Part 2 in progress! It’ll focus on what happens when the interview goes live.

Crossposting stuff from my twitter to my tumblr and vice versa, because I've finally got half the mind to do it

I was briefly into No Straight Roads the Game at the time and these are based off of existing ocs I have lol

Thoughts & lore I had at the time preserved under the cut for posterity

These are all based on existing ocs I have that I modified to sorta "fit" NSR's Lore and Feel. Originally I was more intent on imitating the style of NSR, but it went away more and more when I originally sketched all of them lmao (I colored and cleaned up the actual sketches about a year apart from when they where first sketched).

The overall aesthetic of each character was loosely based off different punk/rock to adjacent genres with indeterminant success. I think I imagined at the time if they were to function gameplay wise, Scratch, Temp, and Rhythm would actually end up being Mayday's allies, with Scratch's jazz club being an unlockable area in the game for extra content.

So the main idea was that The Lonely Hearts Club was the original band started by the four of them, who met up in Scratch's jazz club originally and became friends. The band would eventually fade into obscurity as Ryme started a solo career during the events of NSR as EDM musician, SNOW QUEEN, under the NSR label (I forgot what exact genre it would've been). The remaining three members of the band would continue the jazz/music club and still frequently meet up, inviting Ryme as well (although he typically was a no-show due to his career obligations). Eventually they would become concerned for Ryme, who disappeared after the release of their first album, and travel to the semi-abandoned district of Vinyl City where he was based to find him, meeting Mayday and Zuke along the way. Basically Ryme was kind of like a secret boss you would have to beat to unlock the jazz club?

The "Snow Queen" epithet alludes to the theme of the boss, which was a sense of perfectionism and the pressure of popularity and criticism leading to a creative block/burnout and eventual self-isolation and depression. The other members of Lonely Hearts Club would have been npc allies in the fight, modifying stage conditions during it. Fun fact: their color schemes are based off the fire diamond. Additionally, the snake (while it has symbolic significance of like, crushing pressure) is also the speaker/microphone and is referential to Scratch. Scratch and Ryme are implied to be in a romantic relationship with each other :)

If you've read this far thanks for reading lmao. It's a fun exercise to think of how this kind of thing would legitimately fit into other projects, as a part of concepting ideas and such haha

#no straight roads #nsr fanart #nsr #digital art #oc #nsr oc #my art #fanart #anyways don't follow me for NSR i'm unlikely to be doing anything NSR related in the forseeable future #unless.... i can be persuaded #khajiit has wares if you have the coin etc etc lmao

paul --paul is actually a buzzard. paul is defensive, needy, incredibly self-conscious, incredibly self-pitying, and an absolute master at driving people away. he has retained a level of bitterness against people he hasn't worked with in two or more decades that is nothing short of spectacular. paul will rework himself to whatever he thinks john q. public wants, because he doesn't like who he actually is offstage.

gene --gene's arrogance is not entirely a put-on. gene will say anything and do anything to get attention. gene's constant cheating on girlfriends and his attitude towards women in general is reprehensible. gene is unsympathetic to others and views or has viewed addiction and mental problems as character failings while excusing his own serious issues with infidelity/using women as a "what do you expect" rockstar schtick. additionally, i would not go into business with gene for all the tea in china.

peter --peter has created or exacerbated a whole lot of his own unhappiness. peter is hotheaded and probably a gigantic pain to deal with/work with, even now. peter is very unforgiving. peter makes or has made very poor financial and career moves and really spent those fifteen years post his first kiss firing talking about stuff he was doing rather than actually doing too much of anything (tiny handful of albums that went nowhere, that he didn't even try to promote, tiny handful of bands that for the most part, other than criss, never even played!), while continuing for a number of years to receive a cut from a band he was no longer in, per contractual obligations (i'm not saying he should've noped out of it, but it's very easy to see where paul's resentment of him comes from).

ace --ace has wasted so, so much potential that it's unfathomable. he has never been willing to strike while the iron is hot, to his eternal detriment. he has set fire to decades of his life via rampant addiction-- yes, he's clean now, and i'm proud of him for it, but the damage he did to himself and his relationships with family and friends is not necessarily repairable. ace also overrates himself and has proven willing to do slimy things for the almighty dollar (selling out peter and the empty threats re: gene and paul).

eric carr --as someone who has my own issues with insecurity, i could see where eric's issues there could get old to deal with very, very fast. i get his frustrations with the band/gene and paul, but i don't think he went about things in the right way. i think he played off of gene and paul too much-- i think had he been more accepting of his hired gun role, things might have played out a little differently. i think he could've gotten hired/more creative control in a different band in the mid-eighties and been happier.

vinnie --CREATURESFEST. i was there.

mark --... is there anyone besides peter criss who can corroborate accusation against him? just curious. i'm not sure why this one is believed so wholeheartedly when i've never heard it from anyone else (and when the fandom as a whole is pretty particular on what negative accusations are believed about the band). if it's true, then yeah, that's more than reason enough for him to be scum, but if it's not, then it's hard for me to really find something to dislike about him-- he was in the band for a grand total of one album and about three shows.

bruce --bruce is... staid. you know what you're getting with bruce. but where is the fun with bruce? bruce is not going to do anything unexpected. bruce's hair is nice, bruce's guitar is in tune, and bruce is going to let paul skid/slide under him and play guitar on his back so he can have all the attention during a solo, because bruce is just that guy.

also bruce's serious fetish for stockings is not something i ever needed to know about him and i resent him for publicizing it. thank you, @bangbangyou

eric singer --eric is wasted in kiss like f. scott fitzgerald was wasted in hollywood. it's like watching scott joplin play chopsticks.

tommy --see bruce's section. tommy is just not fun. there are no surprises with tommy. he'll shoot the rockets. he'll do the backbends. but a deer is never going to fall in tommy's pool and drown, causing him to nearly be late for a show. it's consistent. it's also mildly depressing.

Niall Horan is ready to put on a Show.

The former One Direction member and current Voice coach's third studio album, The Show, was born in lockdown following the release of its predecessor, Heartbreak Weather, in March 2020. After getting the chance to "sit still for the first time in probably 10 years," Horan wrote the title track, which he says "kickstarted" the rest of the record.

"The chorus is basically saying we should be grateful for what we have," Horan tells EW. "I think during the pandemic, we lost a little bit of that control we like to have as humans — then that just provoked so many bigger thoughts in my head. It opened a stream of ideas."

None of which, fans might be surprised to learn, entail emotional agony. "There's no heartbreak on this one," Horan says. "If you're coming for a heartbreak love song, I don't think you'll get it here." This, he explains, is the major difference between his latest, "more mature" outing and his previous work.

EW caught up with Horan to find out what else we can expect from The Show and his upcoming tour.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I read that track 6, "You Should Start a Cult," was inspired by you and your girlfriend watching true-crime shows. Was there a specific show that gave you the idea?

NIALL HORAN: That's all we watch — true crime — so I couldn't even tell you what the show was, but I just thought that would be a great title for a love song, and to flip it on its head. I just got to writing a love song that sounded so extravagant, and the lyrics were gonna be huge. It's quite a small song, but some of the statements are quite large. And I love the irony of having a title like that — it sounding very angry, but it's not. It's a love song, at the end of the day.

What makes The Show different from your previous albums, Flicker and Heartbreak Weather?

It's probably the progression over the last seven years — you know, from my first album through to the second one. I think they were all good albums for where I was at that time in my life, and I think this is perfect for [where I am now]. I would say this is probably the more mature-sounding album. There's no heartbreak on this one, which allows you to write different types of songs. That's probably the biggest difference.

Do you find it more fun to write love songs versus heartbreak songs? Or did you miss writing heartbreak songs on this album?

I think they're two completely different concepts. Writing is all about where you're at and "saying what you see," to use a cliché. It's very easy to write a heartbreak song when you're heartbroken, and easy to write a love song when you're in love.

Do you have a favorite song on the album?

I struggle with this. I made it a 10-track album on purpose — to make sure that, hopefully, when people get to 10 they want to go back to the top and listen to the first one again. You know, instead of having a 16-track album and hoping that it's nearly finished. I've got a few favorites. They've all got a different vibe and a different concept and a different musical element that makes 'em good. If I was to pick one now, I'd probably say "You Could Start a Cult." That or "The Show." Probably "The Show," actually.

Are there songs that didn't make the album that might see the light of day on something in the future?

I definitely had some tough decisions to make. I wanted to love every song. I don't know. I'll start writing again at some point, and if I can outdo what I have left over, then fair enough. There are a couple lying around that could be made into something, but as of now they're not going anywhere but my emails or my drafts.

It's been so long since you've been able to tour. What are you most looking forward to?

Just seeing the fans. I spent so much of my career seeing them every night. I'm ready to get back out and play the album I never got to play live, and play this new one, and just create a show — a really good one. I'm already trying to put plans together for how the set would look. I'm just excited to feel that buzz again. It's strange for me that I haven't been on a proper stage in, like, nearly five years. When you think about it like that, it's like, "Oh God, I need to get back on the road."

You mentioned you'll be playing some of Heartbreak Weather on the tour as well. Any chance you might bring some guests on stage?

Oh, yes, for sure. Any city I go to, if I'm friends with an artist from that city and they happen to be there, I'll always see if I can get them to come up and sing one of theirs or one of mine with me. I think about shows like in L.A., with my collaboration with Julia [Michaels]. It could make for a really good gig. Don't want to say too much, 'cause Julia might say no. So that could change, but that would be my ideal: maybe someone I know from Chicago, or someone I know from San Fran, or whatever...

Who would be your No. 1 pick to perform with?

Springsteen would be pretty sick. Imagine being up in Asbury Park and playing with Bruce Springsteen. I performed with Taylor [Swift] before at Wembley Stadium, and that was magic. Obviously, I would love to do it again. She's a busy lady at the moment.

I mean, she's been bringing people out on her Eras Tour, so you never know.

She knows where I am.

The Show is out June 9.
