me when I'm too lazy to digitalize

i was massively disappointed when they didn't make the hair wings

oh and why were the exterminators so demon-like

More info

Charlie

i wanted to lean more into Charlie's doll like features because I feel like Viv could've used it more

Charlie's face is based off info where demons make themselves look/act friendly in order to lure people to them

The twist is Charlie's luring (unintentionally) people in for good intentions

Her face is supposed to look familiar/common but enough to look kinda unique

The doll theme going on is to make Charlie s bit uncanny; aka how skinwalkers are

She looks fake and hollow, her face looks empty, kind of how someone putting on facade looks like (again referencing demon lore)

dolls just being almost everyone's least favorite thing in general because of how uncanny and creepy they are

The only thing she's hiding is a literal angel

She has her mom's nose

She only has small goat features (two pairs of ears and hooves) because technically the goat symbolism came from the Church demonizing Pan

I think it slightly adds to her symbolism of being like a sheep/lamb (innocent and pure)

the pure/uncanny look symbolizes how she's kind and sweet and other stuff but she's inexperienced (lacking basically) and bites more than she can chew in terms of the hotel

she's scared of the abuse and violations that comes with her power dynamics leading her to not have that much of a spine, which vaggie helps with

2. Vaggie

"why didn't you put a suit on her"

Literally the very person that should've been wearing a suit especially considering the bodyguard thing

I didn't research enough and so past me thought people thought Vaggie was an angel because of her hair

So it turns out I'm just dumb ig 🤡

But that didn't stop me lmao so now she and the other angels have hair wings

In here Charlie KNOWS Vaggie is an angel and is the one who suggested Vaggie to pretend to be a moth demon

i didn't like how the only things that gave away what vaggie truly was is her eye and spear, so I added bird feet and little head wings

Brother y'all already have wings and shit why not be birds

Since Charlie knows she's an angel Vaggie helped her in preparing herself for the meeting w Heaven

3. Lute/Exterminators

🤡

So looking back I forgot my OWN LORE by forgetting to put cheek rings on Lute (like I did to Vaggie)

So let's pretend (being delulu is the solulu)

lute is just there to serve as a model to how (maskless) exterminators look like (sorry lute)

The cheek rings connect to Charlie and Lucifer's own cuz Lucifer was a former angel as we all know

Exterminators dress up like higher-up angels (see Charlie's true form to have an idea of it) in order to look more terrifying and intimidating

okay like bro real talk who would you be scared of more someone who looks like part of your species or a literal fuckin eldritch being coming to swoop in and kill you

I'm taking the second option

Making exterminators look like demons was a dumb move sorry

Their mask serves as a lure of some sort where you can't help but look at them (kind of how we don't wanna see disturbing things but we can't help but stare at them when they appear)

And then boom you died because you were to busy looking at the "eye"

I think the look I gave them + some of their bloodthirsty nature's brings in more of the horror

I do like the fact they look like regular people underneath the masks because it kinda reminds you of heaven's hierarchy

once we go up the ladder the more terrifying they look

so once I redesign Emily and Sera....expect them to look more...captivating to the eyes

Other things

The reveal of Vaggie being an angel is turned into a funny scene

"YOUR GF IS AN ANGEL" "....ok and?" "....WHAT DO YOU MEAN OK AND."

word count: 3.1k

a/n: this fic is so self indulgent im sorry 💀 this took my an embarrassingly long time to write

The smell of something cooking is what woke you from your heavy sleep. The smell was rich and heady. A stew, you hoped, as the aroma both made your stomach growl and your head dizzy while you struggled to fully open your eyes.

The world was a blur of colours and shapes, nothing going into focus as you tried to make out where you were. You noted that you could make out a lot of green, and brown. Perhaps somewhere in the forest, you thought, attempting to smell flowers or damp soil, anything past whatever was cooking nearby.

You groaned as your head lulled back, the dull ache fading but still present as you screwed your eyes shut, blocking out whatever dream you seemed to be having. You tried to lift your arms from the armrests of the chair you were sitting in to rub at your eyes, but they refused to budge, tied down by some kind of rope or strap. You didn’t have to try and move your feet to guess that they were the same.

The sound of heavy footsteps is what caused you to quickly open your eyes again, head shooting up as your vision suddenly cleared.

“Oh good, you’re awake!” A soft voice cheered, and you turned your head to the sound. The breath was knocked from your lungs when you saw the redhead standing before you. The woman’s face was framed with bright red hair, draping down to her waist in a stark contrast to the black dress and boots she wore. She was unlike any woman you had seen in your small town, dark clothes and satanic symbols adorning her jewellery aside, you had never witnessed someone levitate a bowl of stew, as she was doing now.

“Hello, dear,” she smiled softly at you. “I’m Wanda.”

“Hi,” you croaked out, words failing you. It was ridiculous, you thought at that moment. This woman, who had presumably kidnapped you, was rendering you speechless with a pretty face and kind smile.

“Mm,” Wanda hummed in appreciation and admiration as her hand reached out towards you, the other still glowing with wisps of red and keeping the hot bowl afloat in the air. Her hand landed on your cheek, fingers languidly stroking your cheek as her smile shifted, twisting into something more of a smirk.

“Go on sweetheart, eat up,” she encouraged as she moved away from you, and you missed her body's warmth before the bowl of stew landed in your lap, and you would’ve winced in pain from the heat if it wasn’t for the overwhelming draft flowing through the house she had brought you to. “You need all your strength for later,” Wanda reached for the small spoon sat in the bowl and lifted the spook of the rich brown sauce to your mouth.

You didn’t question what Wanda wanted from you, just allowing yourself to lean into the comfort of her caring for you. After all, incessant questions annoyed Wanda, so she allowed her magic to deep into your mind and steer you away from them.

“Such a good girl,” Wanda crooned at you. The words snapped you out of your haze, common sense finally taking over you as you realised the situation you were in.

“I-I don’t understand,” you stuttered out, fighting against the heavy fog settling in your mind. “I want to go home.”

“Oh, no detka,” Wanda pouted. “You’re going to stay here with me. Such a precious little thing can’t be left all alone.”

You knew fighting against the fuzziness in your head was futile, but you still struggled and refused to give in. You weren’t that weak, were you? This woman had kidnapped you, for fucks sake! You were sure you could resist her stunning smile and gentle words long enough to escape.

You were, of course, terribly wrong.

Wanda could feel your mind fighting against her and she increased her magic tenfold, drowning you in thoughts of her, of staying in the little cabin for the rest of your days.

“No,” you whimpered pathetically with a small shake of your head, looking up at Wanda with pleading eyes.

“Hush, little one,” she murmured to you, running a hand through your hair and you leaned into her touch, closing your eyes as you allowed Wanda’s magic to take hold of you. “Good girl malyshka, such a well behaved girl.”

You preened under Wanda’s praise as your eyes lazily opened, swirls of scarlet an evident sign of Wanda’s magic.

You and Wanda were broken out of your trance by a loud crash coming from upstairs, followed by a “shit!” and a set of footsteps thundering down the stairs.

“Wandaaa!” You heard a voice call, a second later a brunette swerved into the room, narrowly dodging a small table with a lamp on it before her eyes landed on you.

The girl’s eyes widened in shock as she spotted you, tied to one of the kitchen chairs, dopily smiling at Wanda as she fed you.

“Kate honey, please be careful. We don’t want another hospital visit, do we?” Wanda warned her, not sparing the girl, Kate, another glance as she held another spoonful of food out to you again, which you took gladly.

“Wanda..what the fuck,” Kate was well aware that the woman who had taken her under her wing wasn’t exactly the Patron Saint of Ethics. In the past two years being Wanda’s..well, Wanda’s pet, Kate had learned that the witch didn’t shy away from getting her hands a little bloody, especially for what she deemed was the greater good. Kate started off as Wanda’s mentee, until the redhead gave up on the hope of her husband, Vision, returning. And that’s when her and Kate’s relationship developed into what it was that day you were taken, one fueled by a twisted need for one another.

Wanda never loved Kate, not like that. And despite the void that Wanda and Kate filled for each other, Wanda could sense that her young apprentice was becoming lonely. And that's where she figured you could come in.

“Oh, Katie,” Wanda pouted, disappointed. “You’ve ruined your surprise! You weren't supposed to see her until your birthday.”

While Kate’s birthday was in a couple days, she didn’t expect a kidnapping to be on the agenda.

“What the fuck did you do?!”

“Watch your language,” Wanda scolded her, furrowing her eyebrows as she turned to Kate for the first time, who hung her head as a brief sense of guilt took over her.

“Sorry, mommy,” Kate whispered, still so confused and scared.

Wanda sighed as she stood up, wandering away from you as she reached out for Kate, taking Kate’s cold hands in hers.

“I thought you could use a little toy, you know, to have some fun with, take your stress out on,” Wanda smiled, happy with her plan as she moved behind Kate to rest her chin on the younger girl’s shoulder, moving her closer to you. “I know you miss being in control sometimes, puppy,” the name nearly made Kate stumble, her knees going weak. There were many things Wanda was proud of ingraining into Kate over their time together, but one of her favourite was the way she knew every corner of the archers mind, how to make her give in instantly.

It was true, Kate did sometimes long to be in control. Not of Wanda, but the brunette was slowly coming to terms with the fact that she wouldn’t be fully content to just sub for Wanda, no matter how much she denied it at first. But she had no clue Wanda would go this far.

“Go on, say hello,” Wanda encouraged Kate, grinning as she stumbled towards you. Kate’s toe caught the edge of a loose floorboard, sending her tumbling towards you. Throwing her arms out to catch herself, not looking where they landed. Kate prayed for the ground to swallow her up whole as she looked at her hands, one planted firmly just above your breast and the other gripping the arm of the chair. If you weren’t already trapped in the chair, you would be with Kate towering over you, her face inches away from yours.

“Oh, god…” Kate groaned, a blush staining her cheeks as she quickly removed her hands, looking down in embarrassment as she shuffled away from you.

“Aww, look at your little slut, Katie,” Wanda giggled happily, turning Kate’s chin up to see you. Kate nearly whined when she saw you in a similar state, blush spreading down to your neck as you struggled to not react to the ghost of the handprint left behind. “She loved it.”

Short-lived confidence taking over Kate, she moved towards you again, her movements more predatory as her boots thumped against the hardwood with every step. She tilted your chin up to look her in the eyes, and you desperately tried not to whimper at her hungry gaze.

You knew it was wrong, so completely wrong. These two women, strangers, taking control over your entire being. But you couldn’t stop it. Wanda’s magic had taken hold of you, wrapping around your mind and soul like vines, growing and poisoning, consuming you. And you didn’t want them to ever stop.

“She’s so pretty,” Kate murmured. “Such a pretty girl,” the attention from the brunette had your cheeks heating up, eyes cast down in an attempt to avoid Kate’s gaze.

No longer quiet, a noise that was damn near a moan ripped through you.

Kate was still unsure in her movements, her hand moving down from your chin, trailing past your neck until it once again landed on your breast. “Is this okay?” She asked, nervous as her hand dipped beneath your shirt, reaching towards your bra-covered tits.

“Uh huh,” you nodded, head thrown back as the pleasure of Kate’s hands on you overtook you so quickly. “Please.”

“Not yet,” Wanda told Kate as her hands ventured further up your torso, palming the sides of your breasts. With another flick of her wrist the roped fell away from your wrists and ankles slithering and writhing like snakes.

“Come on, pup. Let’s have some fun with your new little toy.”

You started to complain as you felt Kate’s hands leave your body briefly before encircling you in them, lifting you to her chest as she stood. Your legs quickly wrapped around her waist, the shorts you were wearing riding up in the process. Your arms quickly gripped Kate’s biceps, fighting to maintain balance, but the hard muscle underneath your fingertips assured you that you were in no danger of being dropped.

You hadn’t noticed Kate’s muscle at first, but with the way the muscles of her strong arms rippled and stained as she flexed them, her tank top leaving little to the imagination, you decided the title of daddy definitely suited her.

“You’re gripping me so tight, huh, baby? Don’t worry, I won’t drop you,” Kate cooed in your ear, sending a chill throughout your system. Your shudders didn’t go unnoticed by her, causing her to smirk as she kicked a door to a room and let you go as she walked into the room.

You screw your eyes shut, preparing for the impact of the fall, but instead being met by the softness of a mattress underneath you. You slowly opened your eyes to see Kate towering over you, tank top already removed to reveal her sports bra underneath, and watching the way her muscles contort with her every movement distracted you from the witch sneaking up to you from your other side until you felt Wanda’s hand land on your stomach, trailing downwards.

“Such a good whore,” Wanda said as her hand dipped into your shorts, smirking at the way your legs instinctively spread open and she stole your attention away from Kate momentarily. “You want mommy’s fingers inside you, honey?”

“Mommy,” you whined, bucking your hips up as Wanda’s fingers made contact with your covered clit and she began rubbing slow and harsh circles there.

Bucking your hips into Wanda’s hand, you could feel yourself leaking through your shorts. But, much to your dismay, Wanda removed her hand when loud moans began to leave your mouth.

Your hips lifted off the bed, trying to chase Wanda’s hand, but red wisps floated around you and were suddenly pinning you to the mattress.

“Patience, “ Wanda warned you, her harsh glare bore into you as her magic kept your head in place. “I want Kate to have the first turn with you.”

Your eyes flickered to Kate, unable to move your head with Wanda keeping you completely immobilised.

The brunette still leaned over you at the edge of the bed, unintentionally sending chills through you with her eyes staring into yours while she tried to avoid looking at your body, which Wanda was slowly unveiling, knowing all it would lead to is weak knees and blushing.

“Come on, Katie,” Wanda reached out for her hand, pulling Kate until she landed on the bed with a soft thud, laying sprawled across your stomach. She manoeuvred herself so her body was laying across yours, her face inches from yours.

Wanda’s fingers threaded through Kate’s hair, twisting the locks around her hand and yanking back, abruptly pulling Kate’s face away from yours.

Wanda’s hand trailed down Kate’s front, whispering soft words into her ear in another language that you could barely hear. The sentences were soothing, a lullaby of sorts, to you, and they had you relaxing into the soft cotton of the bed and sinking deeper into submission underneath the two women.

Wanda’s hand stopped short of where Kate was dripping from, red swirling from her fingertips as the magic entrapped Kate’s thighs in its strong hold, black material sewing itself under Wanda’s hand under nothing but a rather thick harness covered Kate’s body and something dangling from her which was obscured by Wanda’s hand, and you nearly cursed yourself for hoping it was something she would fill you up with. Although the intimate place it was didn’t leave much to the imagination.

You could see Kate’s nervous glances, thrown over her shoulder to Wanda who reassured her, smiling at Kate and guiding her hips towards yours, but by that point your too dumbed down brain couldn’t make much sense of anything until Kate’s strap was trialing through your folds.

The strap was flexible, the small ridges creating stimulation that made you want to beg for more within seconds, but as soon as your mouth opened Wanda’s magic was slithering inside, filling your mouth, gagging you and muffling any words or sounds.

“So pretty,” Wanda muttered as a string of drool trailed down your chin and small whimpers vibrated around her magic.

“Aw, I think the sweet thing’s trying to beg,” you nodded your head quickly, bucking your hips to emphasise your point.

“Go on then, pup. Give her what she wants,” Wanda encouraged.

Kate looked back at her with wide eyes as you whined for her.

“I-I don’t know how to-“

“Shh, it’s alright,” Wanda interrupted Kate’s whispers, gripping the brunette’s hips, surely leaving bruises for the next morning. “Just help your toy feel good.”

You moaned loudly as Kate held the end of her strap, directing the tip into your entrance.

“More, please,” your muffled begging filled Kate’s ears, and suddenly her entire strap was pushed inside you.

“Fuck,” Kate sighed, nearly falling against you if it wasn’t for Wanda’s hands on her.

“Can you feel that, Katie?” Wanda said in her ear, guiding Kate’s hips in rocking movements. “Did I forget to mention that little surprise?” Kate let out a strangled moan as you clenched around her. “It’s a magic strap, baby,” Wanda muttered against Kate as her mouth fell to Kate’s neck. “You can feel everything that your pretty little slut does to you.”

“Mommy,” Kate ground into you as she spoke to Wanda, nearly ignoring you completely aside from her strap inside your pussy.

“Shh, I have one more surprise for you both,” Wanda said, red coils floating from her and wrapping around Kate’s strap, seeping into the tentacle.

Kate wasn’t sure what Wanda had done until she heard your moans increase in volume, and saw her strap wiggling inside of you.

“The little princess will be cumming in no time.”

A blush stained Kate’s cheeks, knowing what the tentacle was doing inside of you as she rolled her hips, moving it in and out of you.

Stifled begging filled the room as a coil tightened in your stomach, the rush of your orgasm quickly approaching. Kate’s hips rocked faster, desperate for the feeling of your walls surrounding her.

“Come on, please, please,” Kate groaned, grunting as her thrusts picked up and her tentacle-like-cock slammed into you. “Cum, baby. Just cum. I need you, please.” Kate’s hand reached out, her fingers quickly finding your little ball of nerves, rubbing furiously, trying to draw your climax out of you.

“Fuck,” Kate moaned with you as the tentacle twisted inside your pussy with a mind of its own, filling every part of your core and hitting your sweet spot repeatedly. “Cum!”

And with a strangled scream your release washed over you, Wanda studying your face while Kate’s head was thrown back in pure ecstasy, reaching her peak seconds after you.

Hot cum spurted from crevices and holes in the tentacle and you tiredly sighed as it filled you up, cum leaking from both you and Kate as she collapsed against your chest, strap still buried in you, although it’s movements had stilled, and her hand had moved from your cliff to rest on your torso.

“Good girls,” Wanda whispered to you and Kate, dismounting from behind Kate to fall into bed beside you both, a sleepy look on Kate’s face while you were almost passed out. “You took it so well, angels.”

Kate hummed happily, shifting on top of you to get more comfortable, wet noises from where her strap was filling all of your ears, even from just that slight movement.

“Don’t wanna pull out,” Kate mumbled, burying her face in your neck as darkness lulled you towards sleep.

“It’s okay, detka. You don’t have to,” Wanda soothed her, hand coming up to stroke Kate’s hair, her fingers lightly scratching at her scalp. “Just relax and rest.”

Kate’s eyes fluttered in an attempt to stay awake, but she quickly succumbed to sleep and fell limp against you, Wanda gently shifting Kate’s body to stop her muscles from crushing you.

“Now everything is as it should be,” Wanda smiled at you, your eyelids illuminated with red as her magic did its work. Soon you would be just like Kate, if not worse. So obedient and dependent on her.

Just as Wanda wanted things to be.

Idk how long ago you made the pale wear thing (i never checked) but oh my god quadrant based fashion is amazing and i love it?? I love the idea of some trolls wearing a lot of reds with hearts with tighter fitting clothing/slightly exposing things to seem pitiful (too exposed being bad due to too many weak points causing pity) and yet not weak enough not to seem pale (too bold, too flashy, not pitiful in a "i need to help and protect them, they cant do it themself" way, but more in a flushed way ig?)

Or ashen wear including lots of soft greys and comfy clothing but also strong boots, bags of medical supplies or things insinuating towards them, calming perfume/cologne smells, or even just poofy jackets. all things to make them seem like they could be powerful yet protective and calming but not soothing, and make them seem like they have a high patience and are rather calm. A lot of the comfort things (which could be switched out for more calming then comforting based items) could all be used for pale wear too!!!

Maybe even pitch wear being an umbrella term which encorperates both the annoying/hateful and violent elements of pitch romance! Things like colorful out there clothing which trolls dont usually wear due to threat, noisey clothing etc for the annoying bit, or just basically punk/metal wear for the violent theme? Like some trolls wanting to give an annoying bright and irritating vibe like they want the negative attention, while others want to seem dangerous and up for a good fight.

All styles being in the colors of the respective quadrants, or all being branded with the respective symbols for them too to show the wearer's meaning behind the outfits

(Also sorry on the ramble in ur inbox im super big on how quadrants work and the pale wear thing scratched an itch i didnt even know existed)

OH MY GOD I LOVE ALL OF THIS!!! your brain is so large and this is exactly the kind of shit i like to have on my blog. come sit at my table anon these takes are god-tier i was thinking about pitch-aesthetic dress the other day actually, and came up with the idea of clothing being revealing but also warding at the same time. like perhaps they're showing their stomach but there's also spiked fence on the top of their pants so you can't actually touch them... like being a "tease" but in a way that's both sexy AND violent/dangerous

alright. i have emotionally recovered from miles posting on instagram this morning, which truly threw off my plan to do a little concert recap bc i was busy yelling at my phone/on tumblr. as you do.

a couple notes:

i don't really do concert photos; literally took a grand total of 4 during the actual show. so sorry, don't have much there!

i did not get a poster :( turns out they ran out before AM even went on stage?? i'm sad, but not too pressed bc really i'd much rather have a good view than wait in the merch line.

here we go!!

so getting into the arena was kind of a shit show lmao. we rolled up around door open and the line stretched 5 city blocks and doubled back on itself; it was mostly organized but asshats loved to pop in when the line got broken up by the streets. took us almost an hour to make it our five blocks and the line behind us was still just as long by then. at least folks waiting by us in line were nice! beyond nice conversation the true highlight was outfit spotting. shoutout to the absolutely dedicated guy who showed up in the full on fwn clown outfit complete with face paint by himself. in this weather! found a couple folks dressed exactly like the car alex (again, why are you wearing a blazer in this weather) and you know. felt real old about it seeing some of the other concert outfits. i'm sorry, not to be judgemental of the tiktok girlies, but holy shit. i managed to out myself once as a weird fan about it bc i had "inside knowledge" aka i saw the ig stories james and davey posted lmao. i'm so sorry i'm incapable of holding it in when i want to correct someone. had a grand time talking to some people in line next to me around my age; one of them even had an old sias shirt from seeing them live back then! good bonding about "hey what have you done since they announced this album?" one guy switched jobs twice, we got married, and the other couple had a baby. jfc.

further highlights include the person who wrote the batphone and cheeseburger notes, a couple other car truck bits i didn't take pics of saying things like "who the fuck are the arctic monkeys", and the true comedy of whoever designed the tickets. big mike wazowski energy

fontaines dc sounded great! a lot of folks around me had no clue who they were, though. so the crowd wasn't too excited overall. also i have no idea who put together the playlist in between sets bc it was nuts.

and then: the big reveal (that i then updated tumblr on)

i'm really surprised the whole set made it! the anticipation before they took the curtain down was absolutely palpable. also, didn't get a picture of it but at one point someone had a giant pole and was trying to poke something right at at the top of the frame of the screen. no idea what that was about but it was hilarious. not pictured: the bonus screens on either side of the stage.

an aside: my partner is fucking hilarious. every time a roadie came on state with an instrument he'd go "i don't think that one is a monkey." he also generally calls them the "monkfys" anyway bc he really latched onto that clip aksdjfs

so this was interesting! they didn't show the body paint symbols at all on any of the screens; instead, they showed this colorful wheel thing.

and then the actual show. oh my word. opening with sculptures was absolutely my dream and honestly i don't have words for what it's like to see alex in person. he's absolutely captivating. hypnotizing. one of the most amazing things is watching how he proceeds through the show--how he goes from suave and put together with his choreographed arm movements for emphasis and his little things like the little bubble pop in that song. and then he starts to loosen up (along with his hair), we get the silly dramatic theatre kid during cornerstone and do me a favour, and by the time we hit body paint he's just completely letting loose. even when they played much of the usual setlist and i obviously know the music super well--better than anyone else around me--it was still absolutely thrilling to just be there and listen to the music and sing loudly and jump around until we felt the floorboards creak. they felt really high energy last night! turns out coming off of a break is good for them!

related, getting to watch the transformation into the poofy lion hair in real life is incredible.

i must admit, i am not immune to things like alex waving in our general direction to the crowd and walking over to our side of the stage and all of the charming bits. just can't help it.

otherwise, the only other person i could consistently see was nick - we were standing stage right, maybe 15 yards back? so you know. gorgeous as always. i'm sure jamie was wonderful also in his insane leather jacket -- didn't see him at all lol. i managed to get a very convenient window to center stage so i actually saw alex a decent amount. worked out well because i couldn't actually see the screens super well. i'm short. here's the only two pictures i actually took of the band, right at the beginning:

and now for the rest of the setlist -- we all know they played a lot of the usual suspects. as expected, much of the crowd was pretty young and very invested in only AM and the hype songs. i didn't mind; at least i wasn't the only person screaming for perfect sense (weren't a lot of us, i was the only one in my general area, but that's alright. i don't care.) my spouse was entertained by the person next to us who looked up the spotify set playlist in between every song; he was like "why look it up? if you don't know the songs well enough to identify by intro then how is the list supposed to help?" anyway, holy shit when is snap getting out of the playlist? and yet even though i was not thrilled by it it was still so fun to sing along.

4 out of 5 had a really funny bit at the end while he was just kinda ad libbing lines. "four stars out of five, not quite there yet, but almosttttt." teddy picker and view from the afternoon were absolutely fantastic, too. and then we get the basic AM bits again, though turns out the crowd was also really hype for fluorescent adolescent. 10/10

i was so goddamn loud for perfect sense. shoutout to the spouse again for only knowing that song bc i learned to play it and then played it constantly bc i wanted to manifest it aksjdflaskdj

he was constantly saying "very nice. very nice. very good" in between songs, which was adorable. "hope you're having a lovely evening, folks." as my partner put it: "very good. that's him like yes, i've met my crowd interaction quota for the night"

and then of course we brought out the drama for do me a favour and cornerstone. i cracked up that there were already gifs of the "forcing a smile" bit by the time i got home.

mirrorball started with alex conducting the stings again. i love it so much. also makes my musician ass miss performing lmao. but really, i can't get over how good mirrorball is. it's so dramatic, so emotional, then the actual mirrorball reveal??? i cried. it's insane. it's beautiful. it's honestly indescribable. i generally don't like people filming a lot or taking tons of pictures but you know what? mirrorball is an exception. holy mother of god.

and then 505!! i know i mentioned this earlier but really??? the mirrorball is only lit up like this for 505 and then they pull it back up?? there better be a mirrorball for me, he says, then we pull it down for the very miles song, and then they get rid of it???????? i had some thoughts.

our end of the stage got a bit distracted during do i wanna know bc we had someone go down in the crowd and had to call someone over to help. good news is that they were pretty close to the wall/barrier so it was easy to make space. even so, i realy can't get over how good that guitar sounds.

and then body paint. we've all seen videos of the extended outro and really, truly, it's just a life-altering experience to watch it life. it sounded incredible, it looked incredible with the rainbow lights, everyone looked like they were having a blast. i am a little biased bc i'm so attached to that song i'm getting tattoos about it on monday lmao. but man. not over it.

and finally the encore. ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE?????? i was NOT expecting it and absolutely lost my shit. unfortunately at this point bc we did some shifting around i no longer had a good view of anything. so it goes.

dancefloor, as always, was an absolute jam. bonus points bc now it's forever associated with our wedding. and r u mine had the place going nuts bc you know, the AM only folks, but really, i am also not immune to how hard that song goes.

all in all, that concert was absolutely incredible. i had an absolute BLAST and it was such a joy. i loved getting to be loud and truly did not care that there were bits where i was the only one who knew all the words. even my partner who is only really a tangential am fan had a really good time. they sounded amazing. i'm absolutely still on a high from it. hopefully the transition to a smaller venue again after the huge stadium tour was nice for the band, too!

and now time for some more coffee.

#my show #if you actually read this thank you!

ok i have time to kill and nothing better to do and a kinnie brainrot slowly eating at my skull so. dazai animatic brainstorming time bc i can't draw or animate but i have ideas :)

song is debt collector by jhariah (can you tell i have mild brainrot abt his music lately) btw. go listen to it. i am no longer asking 🔫

It's all catching up to you now, hope you can run

the horse race scene basically.

Cause soon your past will come and drag you (Down, down)

jouno showing up and cuffing him

You scammed your way into Heaven

shot of dazai with the ada, looking like he's talking and they're listening

Til the angels realize you're not one of them

the image changes a bit - instead of regular current day dazai, he is now dressed as he did during the dark era, looking way more serious and empty

Here comes the debt collector, seems you owe him again

dazai in meursault, sitting across from fyodor's cell

Dollars and coins can't cut your check this time around

we see them talking, body language implying it's the scene right before nikolai takes them out of their cells

Here comes the debt collector, and you owe him again

start of the race, nikolai explaining the rules of the race

Kind words and lies won't save your head this time around, 'round, 'round

dazai pointing at sigma, choosing him, smiling

i think there's some music here so like. see them walking through meursault

Gravedigger, cordial killer, your payment is due, they're looking at you

with each. not word but ig section? as in after every comma, the image changes to different moments from dazai's time in the mafia, mainly hurting or killing people

We've done what we can, it's out of our hands

the talk dazai had with mori right before odasaku's death, very clearly mori speaking these lines

Sooner or later, it comes back again

dazai turning around and running out of the room, and as the next line enters, the scene changes from him running in the mafia hq to him running in meursault

Here comes the debt collector, seems you owe him again

he is walking with sigma down the hall, then grabs him

Dollars and coins can't cut your check this time around

they are dancing into the security room with the dead guards, and dazai immediately props himself by the microphone

Here comes the debt collector

this time it's not dazai being spoken to, but rather him talking to fyodor, we see him say these words, smiling

And you owe him again

but then his smile goes away as we see chuuya drowning next to fyodor as well

Kind words and lies won't save your head

dazai's gay ass flashback speech,

This time around

he turns around, and we get a hard cut to dazai and sigma in the elevator

Please don't think I have no empathy for you, what you've been through, but

fyodor talking!!!! fyodor by the mic, saying these exact words!!!! on the "but", he clicks a button

There's nothing I can do now but stand here and watch it all catch up to you

the room filling up with water, dazai and sigma slowly starting to drown

Here comes the debt collector, seems you owe him again

fire bursting, dazai shooting the gun, yknow that whole scene

Dollars and coins can't cut your check this time around

dazai kicking sigma out of the elevator -

Here comes the debt collector

and now we see him on the ground

And you owe him again

same pose, same scene, but now there's a gun against his forehead

Kind words and lies won't save your head

we see chuuya is the one holding the gun, and now dazai is raising his head to look at him, starting his whole "we are destined to-" thing

This time around

the gunshot

during the outro music, we can see him bleeding from his forehead

and that's it! short and simple. idk how vivid that one was esp given a lot of it just canon scenes and less imagery and symbolism but it's very vividly imagined in my head and i hope it is now in your head too :)

#dan rambles #this one's def more straightforward than the laplace's angel doa one lol

PERSONIFICATION OF NATURE

For she is anything but a devout for life;

Even if the thorns draw out their knife,

Although never leaving unscathed,

She still stood there and bathed

In her glade of failure and imperfections.

No, despite the whittled misconceptions,

She is not flawless as what many may deem,

She's a failed artist who persists to dream

To paint around her element

With her blood so redolent

Of hope blossoming amidst winter.

(rambles/though process below if interested :>)

Behold~!

Me and my friend @pulchramorationem had a discourse whether nature is perfect or not intrinsically. Over that, I've decided that Nature is a failed artist who eventually succeeded after years (and they still continue to grow).

I call the artwork "The Crowned Artist Who Failed"

(doesn't have a good ring to it, might rename it in the future qwq)

Majority of us find solace in nature and label it as "perfect" due to the peace it is able to bring us. But with all the natural disasters that crack, flood and dishevel the fauna and flora, I thought that Nature is never perfect, and what if it exists to serve as a reminder that we can simultaneously exist disastrously and beautifully? A reminder that the perfections are the cause of flaws, and the flaws create perfections?

Although perhaps never truly achieving to be completely perfect, but because of thei ability to balance their inner turmoil and passion with the excellent endurance, they are able to be a master to them and create the best of both worlds - giving birth to the nature that we know of today?

Now that's something to ponder upon KWKWKWKWK OKAY! Moving on to the thought process of the design ig

I don't have a good reason as to why I drew Nature as a woman, but perhaps it's because I've projected a part of myself to her and was a ble to see a fragment of myself within her - both are trying artists who are still surging through this creative word despite the challenges. Another thing to it (kind of a last/additional though) women typically symbolize delicacy, kind of like how nature is delicate as well. Like, we must maintain the balance, like the food chain, to keep everything at peace. Basically, if one part is gone within the cycle, it may or may not create major consequences.

As for the outfit, green is self-explanatory. It symbolizes the nature, the life against the winter-barren background. I gave her a laurel wreath as (to my favor) symbolizes victory! And she is victorious in her own ways and masterpieces.

For her eyes, I wanted to symbolize the water somehow, so I guess using her eyes, she was able to symbolize the "water" part of nature. Of course the "land" part is her dress (you could count her hair as well, but to be honest that was not my initial intent, and rather, jsut found the color pretty and matched up well with the palette). The air?? To be honest I hadn't thought of it, but I guess you could count the swirly whites circling around her as the air???? And "WHAT ABOUT THE PLASMA-" UMMMM IDK—

I've only thought of this until now. I GUESS THE YELLOW PART ON HER DRESS OR THAT GLOWY BRUSH?? IT LOOKS ELECTRIC!!?

Think what you will, but the brush actually symbolizes that she indeed is an artist, and if she were to paint, each strokes she would create would result into life.

The scars and bloody bandage? Self-explanatory: evidences of her hardships and triumphs!

Anyway that's all!! qwq I had so much fun doing this prompt (interpretation of nature). Thanks to mah friendo for riding along with this lil challenge I began. WHKAEFHDBG I had so much fun doing this challenge with ya!!! >:3

(also forgive the cromchy artwork quality, idk what happened—)

So I dunno if anyone's asked this, but what were the design thoughts for Mads in the aperture au? What makes her choose to dress like Sinister? Does she ever change her costume to something else? Also was "Mads" just a nickname to help you define her from regular Madelyne or is there more of a in verse reason as to why she chooses to go by Mads?

I think calling her ‘Mads’ and the buzzcut were both ideas from will @boo-cool-robot, suggested for ‘Mads is a lesbian in this au’ reasons! Mads would also be kind of a distinct name from Madelyne, given to her by sinister, and buzzing her hair also kind of is a reaction against that. With a buzzcut, she does not look like jean, the way he wanted her to.

When i was trying to design her costume there were a couple things i was thinking of ig! i tend to be pretty referential in my designs, and so i was looking for an idea/interest to anchor mads’s costume to. the 2 big ideas for 616 maddy are, i think, pilot and goblin queen, and neither of those are really appropriate references for mads, who never had those experiences. that said, i do think that the goblin queen outfit is kind of sinister-esque? it has a huge cape, and depending on how people draw her top and skirt, her midsection can create this diamond shape. i think its subtle (and maybe unintentional?) but its cool to me regardless. and that kind of drove me toward thinking of mads taking sinister’s costume as her own.

i think there can be something powerful in the idea of taking the iconography of the person who hurt you and transforming it into your own. especially bc, in aperture, scott’s the only person on mads’s team who ever met sinister. so that iconography becomes hers. she’s able to turn it into a thing that belongs to her, where before nothing did. there’s an attendant sense of destruction there, with mads breaking sinister’s legacy by turning his symbols into something she uses within her own power. i think that would appeal to her. but there is also something kind of fucked up about it! one of the things i think is true of mads in aperture is like. she did her big agency-grabbing thing by killing sinister and now she’s kind of stuck. she’s still figuring out where to go from there. so she’s stuck dressed in his clothes, trying to turn them into something of her own, while also trying to build her sense of self.

so yeah, i think mads could change her costume to something else, as she builds herself more! i also think this bc i kind of dislike how i drew the design when i transferred it from paper to digital, so i’ll probably try to put her in something else at some point, but that’s neither here nor there.

thanks for asking <3!

Winx fashion - fairy forms

Hello everyone. I wanted to talk about the transformations in the show so far and give my personal opinions on which ones I liked more from a design perspective as an ordinary viewer with a very amateur sense of fashion. You are welcome to share your own views with me on this if you like.

Seasons 1 and 2 had the basic transformation, which unfortunately has no name. So, we will just call it Magic Winx for whatever reason. I do like their basic look. The outfits are candy coloured, incredibly simple and look different from one another while still giving off the vibe of being the same transformation. The wings look like those of a butterfly (Bloom), bird (Stella), leaves (Flora), god knows what (Musa & Aisha) and some techno-whatever for Tecna.

They look good anyway.

Charmix is just a power-up where they have the same outfit. They just get some accessories - brooches and hip bags. I like them all.

Season 3 brings Enchantix as its transformation and it is definitely very pretty. I find it incredibly beautiful with those fairy dust pendants, barefoot sandals, etc. The wings are larger now and look good. I like how some colours (other than their stereotypical ones) are involved – like yellow for Musa. Their hair colours were slightly modified - getting lighter or a slightly different shade or just developing streaks in a bit lighter shade.

Season 4 brings Believix as the main transformation. I don't hate it. But I don't love it either. The wings just got a bit larger - idk why. I like Bloom's colour palette but I don't like it particularly on her. Anyway, Flora looks good ig, Tecna is fine, I like Aisha's wings (that colour suits her more than the green she wore in the earlier seasons, in my humble opinion), Stella looks childish (probably bcz she starts getting childish from this season onwards) and Musa… I don’t like her bottom.

The sub-transformations of Sophix and Lovix were cool. But I personally did not like Aisha’s Sophix outfit. Also, when is Flora going to ditch the pinks and greens? It’s the same two colours with her on every outfit – casual, dressy, fairy form – everything!

Also, Roxy is in this pic even though we still don't understand what her form is. :)

Season 5 has 2 transformations – Harmonix and Sirenix.

I love the design of Harmonix – the dresses (although almost the same), the hairstyles, the conch shell accessories – they are very pretty.

Sirenix however, is disgusting. It rips off any and everything that made fairy outfits pretty in my eyes. I hate those wings, the leggings, and especially the hair-recolour whenever they go underwater. The colour palette sucks for those recolours. I absolutely hate them. The 3D animation in the Infinite Ocean doesn’t exactly help with these views.

Season 6 has 2 transformations again – Bloomix and Mythix. This time however, they can have both transformations at the same time and don’t lose one to gain another or whatever.

Bloomix is supposed to give them a warrior fairy kind of look, I guess. It does. It is interesting design-wise. But I do not appreciate their wings getting even larger. There are jewels hanging off their wings but they aren’t as pretty as in Enchantix. The jewels are basically just symbols of their respective powers. I like Stella’s Bloomix design the most. I also like Flora’s Bloomix.

Now, for Mythix. This is again, only seen in 3D as they enter the Legendarium World. In the 3D view, they look bad – especially Bloom… she looks hideous. But there are 2D illustrations available online. I tried to look for ones that would best translate what we saw in 3D to the 2D style. I added a pic here with some illustrations in 2D.

But, I think the comics have a better grip on Mythix. I added a screenshot from the comics too.

I love Mythix – the concept, the design (2D) and also the idea of having wands. Yes, please. Bloom’s arm warmers and bubble skirt are pretty, Aisha’s water lines on her dress, Musa’s music notes on her dress and shoes as well as Flora’s ruffles on her dress which give the illusion of flower petals, are all so beautiful.

On to season 7 where, again, there are 2 transformations – Butterflix and Tynix.

As much as people hate it, I personally like Butterflix. The design isn’t bad. Their dresses look like butterfly wings and so do their wings, actually. They have a lot of butterfly accessories and stuff. It isn’t bad. I like the pastel colours. I know their dresses look all the same, but it is still pretty. I especially love Aisha and Flora’s Butterflix designs. Then again, Stella’s Butterflix involves a lot of purple this time, which is not a colour she generally wears in her fairy forms. Musa’s Butterflix however, is a bit unappealing to me in terms of the colour palette.

I am not a fan of Tynix. Probably an unpopular opinion. But still… not a fan. I do like Aisha’s Tynix though. But the rest is… idk.

Season 8 had way too many redesigns of previous transformations, including a new variant of Sirenix, called Crystal Sirenix for diving into freezing waters (love the concept though). I don’t like the redesigns. End of story.

Cosmix is the new transformation of season 8. Again, I put up the picture in previous seasons’ art styles. It looks cool but incredibly childish, in my opinion. But that is what it is about this season.

Anyway, that’s all. Sorry for the long rant. Bye :)

i had a transcendental dream last night (well. transcendental to ME. at least.) anyway if nothing else it makes for an interesting story ig

uhm so basically i was some sort of student at a private school. in the middle of nowhere... and this school supposedly had a problem where it would rain rats occasionally and no one knew what the cause was. like i’m talking it would be POURING rats from the sky. and it was some kind of natural disaster...? anyway, on one such event, everyone was called in from the Rat Rain and we all made a mad dash for the doors to the main building as we were being pelted by these creatures and once i made it indoors i wandered around for a bit until i met two of my friends and hid with them in a strange room downstairs. even the path leading up to the area was suspicious-- like, the floor was carpeted and green and red neon signs with unrecognizable symbols and warnings were all over the place. once i made it into the room my friends huddled behind and object and i encountered some people (presumably the first responders, because they were dressed up in some kind of brown protective suit/uniform resembling a firefighter’s outfit) and they told me to scram. but instead of leaving i made my way back to my friends and locked us inside; immediately, the aforementioned strangers made their way over to where i was hiding and started making conflicted expressions, like they were upset somehow that i had trapped myself in the room? i don’t even know if the rats are a thing at this point or if it’s relevant at all.

the next thing these people do is make their way over to the wall adjacent to the door and slam a button, that suddenly causes the room i’m in to slowly descend, like an elevator. my friends are gone? i think? they never reappear from this point forward. and then the room i’m in turns into like... a cubicle and shrinks drastically, like i’m inside a tardis. this supposed “elevator” travels a considerable and impossible distance before i feel myself make impact with a hard floor, and by this point, the air in the elevator was really stale. a window materialized sometime as i was making the descent and i look out: a number of similar tardis-shaped elevator/cubicle things are strewn out across what appears to be something adjacent to a floor in one of those concrete parking lot alleys underneath apartments or next to museums. i realize subconsciously that the area was about to be flooded and the dream ends as i’m fully submerged in cold, dark water, yet never once throughout this whole dream am i ever disturbed or in fear. and as this whole thing was happening i’m thinking like... maybe peace of mind comes with submission to the thing. maybe i’m reaching too hard for escape. it’s all very intriguing to me

let me tell you a story about political history, the subtle art of throwing shade, and the power of the dress. it’s centered on a filipino fashion designer named mak tumang.

don’t recognize the name? well, you might recognize his work.

his most famous dress, the one that pushed his name into national acclaim, is the dress catriona gray wore when she was crowned miss universe 2018. inspired by the mayon volcano, the most popular feature in the hometown of catriona’s mother, the dress was an absolutely stunning fit for an absolutely stunning lady. he went on to design even more beautiful dresses, as seen from his instagram:

now that last one, that’s a little unsettling, isn’t it? not as grand as the others, but it’s still a nice dress, certainly. yet the red in the ombre also definitely makes it look like it’s a dress drenched in fresh blood. surely, a great and respected fashion designer like mak tumang would understand how this design would look like. surely, he knew what kind of image that particular shade of red evoked. surely, there was a message that he wanted to say with this.

here’s some context: it was a dress commissioned by imee marcos.

imee marcos is a current senator. she’s also the daughter of the infamous dictator, ferdinand marcos, whose 21 years of presidency are characterized by opulent wealth for his family and the ruling class, extreme economic disparity between the rich and the poor, and the deaths of many activists, students, and innocents at the hands of state police, among many other atrocities. it was a dark time in filipino history, and a relatively recent one; the nationwide protests that pushed him out of power were only in the late 80′s. imee is no better than her father, though she tries her damnedest to hide it now; in 1977, she ordered the torture and execution of a college student just for daring to ask if she was qualified for her political position at the time.

so, that brings us back to the dress. gold tainted with blood red, an incredibly astute metaphor for a woman whose family wealth is built on the deaths of her countrymen.

just to add salt on the wound, yellow is a color heavily associated with the aquino family. i won’t get into how the color association came about, so here’s an article that explains it. the important thing to know is: when marcos was finally ousted, cory aquino rose to take the presidency after her husband, a liberal senator who was strongly against marcos, was assassinated.

putting it simply? mak tumang had made imee marcos, daughter of a bloody dictator, wear a dress that not only symbolized her family’s ill-gotten fortune and various human rights violations, but was also in the color of their greatest political adversary, the ones strongly associated with the end of the marcos dictatorship.

and he made her wear this for the presidential state of the nation address, the most televised political event of the year.

talk about making a fashion statement.

#mak tumang #imee marcos #fashion design #philippines #mine #i saw a mak tumang dress on my dash and i just HAD to tell this story #look i really want to include how the SONA is generally used by many politicians to make a literal fashion statement!#that same year many progressive congressmen had protest art painted on their clothes #because there were fishermen who died when a chinese ship crashed into their boats #when their shouldnt even have been a chinese ship there in the first place! it was philippine territory!#and it was just more fuel to the fire that is SEA vs china territorial disputes #also i kind of wanted to explain how aquinos were related to yellow #kind of drop the fun fact that. yknow. 'tie a yellow ribbon' is considered a protest song here #but i really wanted to focus on tumang here #i mean i KNOW he doesnt. like. explain any of this in his IG post about the dress #his official reasoning for the symbolism is a lot more politically neutral #but lol. come on. that's blood bro. thats a bloodstained dress. own up to it.#haribon
