Didn't add nearly enough Avril "I never said I was punk" Lavigne.
Steph coded albums?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Stephanie Brown was most definitely a pop-punk girlie at heart. I feel like she'd SO identify with how Avril Lavigne described herself: "I think that I'm just a rock chick. I like to rock out. I like to throw shit around. I like to go nuts. I like to lose myself on stage. I like to scream, I like to holler, I like to yell. And...I like to get my anger out."
Evidence:
Post-Crisis ended in 2011 and Steph was 19-20, so she was born in 1991 and must have listened to a lot of 2000s and late 90s stuff.
She loves wearing flannels, boyish jackets, beanies, and tucked in shirts.
She gives hella bisexual vibes.
In high school, she partied in old factories, subway tunnels and rooftops with "her crowd" (her words). Her friend Bailey seemed to be into punk rock.
But she doesn't have much of a campus life at university which has more fratty, middle class people; less were "her crowd" (she was struggling with uni expenses).
Women-led pop-punk and rock seems to explore a lot of themes that would mean something to Steph.
She was a working class latchkey kid and times were tough on her growing up.
She grew up fast; she had to care for her mother and she had a child at 16 whom she gave up for adoption.
A LOT of men around her have made her life a living hell. Her dad sucks. Her exes suck.
Don't forget, she's a talented pianist too.
And the important piece of evidence, she was into sk8er boi Tim Drake.

Voiceplay Visuals: Frozen 2 Medley
I really love Frozen 2 (i like it more than the original actually), the animation is great, and the soundtrack is 10/10 awesome, and Voiceplay's medley video for it is just as good! This video features Adriana Arellano, not just in her first appearance in a Voiceplay video, but her first video performance ever? And she was only 15 when this was released?? Man
This video was actually a Christmas Day upload for Voiceplay (for my timezone anyway) back in 2019, and it's a rare case of having 6 vocalists in a video instead of the average 5 (but it you're gonna do a Frozen Medley, you're almost definitely gonna need a female singer). But anyway, let's get into this!
Tumblr media
So obviously Adriana is taking dual roles of both Anna and Elsa (in white pants and a cute periwinkle(?) top), Eli is "Disneybounding" as Olaf, Layne is being just a little bit Extra with his Sven outfit, and Earl, J, and Geoff are sharing the role of Kristoff (also Geoff in a scarf again, which he also wears in Baby Its Cold Outside, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, and his cover of White Christmas (different scarves though))
Also neat background! I'm guessing this was filmed at Pattycake Productions, but the description doesn't say
Tumblr media
"Yes the wind blows a little bit colder, and we're all getting older!" "hey!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Geoff (and Layne): "Okay Rude"
(Layne would've turned 39 in December that year, with Geoff having turned 39 a few months beforehand in August)
Geoff's hair by this point has reached the length/style that it's by and large stayed in since (though Wicked Game has me questioning if it's grown and subtly changed a little bit again)
Tumblr media
Geoff: "Maybe you should leave all the romantic stuff to meeeeeee"
Adriana: "Oh brother"
Tumblr media
"Some things stay the same, like how reindeer are easier!"
Tumblr media
(cool necklace by the way, J!)
Tumblr media
"what was that?"
Tumblr media
"da da dum"
(Also there's a video on Youtube featuring vocal ranges of different bass singers or something like that, featuring Avi Kaplan and Tim Foust and others I believe as well as Geoff, and the thumbnail has got pictures of them all from like performances and stuff, but for Geoff they used pretty much this picture 😂 Like damn why you gotta do him like that 🤣)
Tumblr media
At first I was only pausing to see what Geoff was doing with his hands (air bass again? or some other air-instrument?) but uhh there's a lot going on in this picture 😂
Layne back at it again with the carrots! (Seriously him chopping and peeling carrots and using it as actual percussion/foley is honestly iconic and will never not be the funniest thing to me)
Tumblr media
Making this post and looking for screencaps has really elevated the hilarity of this video for me honestly XD
Geoff has some lovely smiles in this video 💜 (I feel like I'm taking a lot of screencaps for this video already though, so you can go (re)watch the video yourself if you wanna see what I mean)
Tumblr media
"Being watched by something with a creepy, creepy face!'
Tumblr media
^ The "creepy creepy face" 😂
Tumblr media
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
pfft 😝
Tumblr media
Oh my god I literally only just noticed the carrot necklace!!! Layne I love you
Tumblr media
Pretty Boy time!
(Don't just get yourself a man who can do both, get yourself a man who can do EVERYTHING)
Tumblr media
THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING
Tumblr media
I just realized Layne is doing air-drums and using carrots as drumsticks? (He does the same thing in the Butter video)
(Also love the lighting changes, both in light levels and colour! Shoutout to Eli!)
Tumblr media
Adriana doing the phone-light thing is iconic and kind of hilarious honestly
Tumblr media
<3
Also just noticed Adriana's cool chain-bracelet-ring accessory on her left hand! (Won't post a pic of it though because I'm worried about hitting the maximum image limit)
And that's all I have to say for this video! Man, what a freaking awesome medley. Really well done on all levels, and the enjoyment that Adriana and the guys had in making this is absolutely palpable (Also Geoff was very pretty in this video okay)

9 People You Want to Know Better tag
I've gotten a couple tags for this over the past month; thanks so much for tagging me, @mercurialsmile, @bardic-tales, and @ls-daydreams! I'm gonna pass it along with soft tags to @writernamedfran, @somealienquill, @junypr-camus, @nightlylaments, @monstrousfreedom, @athena-anna-rose, @jessica-writes22, @jjm-blogspot, and @wildswrites, as well as an open tag if anyone wants to share a little about themselves! I'd tag everyone in this community if that wouldn't be obnoxious lol
There're several questions in this game, so it's all under the cut
Three ships—
Tbh, I don’t often retain ships, so it mostly depends on my current media; like I’ll see a pairing, whether canon or not, and I’ll get behind it. But then when I’m no longer reading/watching that media, I find myself no longer caring for that ship. So…I can probably give you two.
One ship that’s stuck so far is Alec and Magnus (Mortal Instruments/Shadowhunters), for somewhat personal reasons. And I’ll be honest with you—I was rooting hard for Leafpool and Crowfeather (Warriors). I can’t think of a third, sorry!
First ever ship—
I have no idea, honestly. Like I said, I’m not very good at shipping things
Last song I listened to—
Castaway Angels by Leprous. This song is so good, you guys. This band is so good. You don’t even know how much I love them
Last movie I watched—
Dinosaur Hotel, which is so bad that the cover features characters who do not even show up in the movie. We like to watch terrible movies with worse graphics sometimes, and often end up having a blast doing so, but that one was just a waste of time. I could rant about it for a while lmao
Currently reading— Death’s Diner by @theglitchywriterboi and about to start a reread of Warriors: The New Prophecy: Midnight by Erin Hunter! 
Currently watching—
Star Trek: Enterprise! I’m very excited to finally be able to share this with my household! We’re watching them all chronologically, so we’ve only just started our marathon. I’ve seen the shows and movies before, and A has seen TNG and the newer streamed shows, but P has seen the reboot movies and that’s it lol
Currently consuming—
Nothing, because I was a dum-dum and left my tea in the fridge 😔
Currently craving—
Zero sugar mountain dew and what I had for lunch today—turkey, chickpeas, and sweet peas with melted cheese in a wheat tortilla. It probably sounds strange but it was really good! I had to share it with my cat and my dogs got half of the cheetos puffs I had as a side lmao I never get a full meal with them around

shirley why do you think joonie mentioned moulin rouge in the lyrics of "lonely"? that's the only part that i couldn't understand the connection ;-;
he says:
온종일 YouTube & Netflix
Youtube & Netflix all day,
그저 또 폰 속 데이터와 datin’
just datin’ the data in my phone
매일 아침과의 랑데부
My rendezvous with the morning every day
빨갛게 돌아가는 나의 물랑루즈
My Moulin Rouge that’s turning red
doolset notes: Moulin rouge literally means red mill. YouTube and Netflix both use red logos.
but what did he mean by "my moulin rouge that's turning red"?
ok im roping in the BIG guns @namchyoon for this so anna can also help
so the first and most obvious explanation i can think of is that moulin rouge literally means, as doolset says, is literally a red mill in french, which turns as the winds blow. it is also the name of an old caberet that the musical and movie moulin is based on. the caberet is famous for inventing and popularizing the can can dance, which is traditionally danced in dresses w red (or other eyecatching) undersides.
now this is where im gonna make some shit up:
moulin rouge, the musical, had a song called nature boy, which went like this:
There was a boy. A very strange, enchanted boy. They say he wandered very far, Very far, Over land and sea. A little shy, And sad of eye, But very wise was he. And then one day, One magic day he passed my way. And while we spoke of many things, Fools and kings, This he said to me: The greatest thing You'll ever learn Is just to love And be loved In return.
sounds familiar right? one of the musicals main themes are of loneliness and discombobulation and disconnect from the wider society -- the urge to just......escape from it all, and joonie sings about it here as well.
joonie also mentioned that he wrote this song while he was in las vegas, which is where the old moulin rouge hotel (the first mixed race hotel!) was, and where the musical (its good you should watch it on youtube!) is currently showing.
tldr; i think this is a three fold meaning:
1. hes referencing the actual mill, that grinds things to dust regardless of place and material over time and that he too will turn w the wind, slowing being grinded to dust,
2. hes inferring that the glitz and glamor of his fame is hiding a deep loneliness (ba dum tss) and a disconnect from wide society, and
3. hes referencing the cultural and emotional ties that the moulin rouge invokes and that he too is just a commodity to be enjoyed and then left to fade to the annals of history

Best Day Ever (A Parody)
youtube
I'm too excited to sleep, so here's an idea post.
Jezabat: We made it to the Deep Dark. And you may not believe us, but the sculk is made up of a bunch of lost souls who have been trapping people in it with them.
Lena: We managed to free lots of them by defeating a warden. (people gasp) But in five minutes, we’ll know if they’re still going to attack us.
Deepa: I doubt it, but you never know…
Ramona: At a time like this, we should be coming together. Instead, this life-or-death situation has you turning against each other!
Tanoshii: You’re all letting your fear and anger get the better of you, and that’s just as dangerous as any warden.
Ramona: It doesn’t have to be like this. We might only have five minutes left, but we can make them the best five minutes ever!
Jack: But how?
Ramona: Just… Just look at the sun. It’s still shining. Look at the grass. It’s still green and… grassy. Look at us! We still have each other.
Ramona: Just four more minutes left.
We’ve done all we could do.
And whatever happens next,
I’m glad I’m here with you!
Oh, the sun came up, and it smiled at me.
Said it’s gonna be the best day, just wait and see!
Big warden doomsday caught us unaware,
But we’re still here and the sun’s up there!
Could be the best day ever.
Tano and Jez: The best day ever!
Ramona: Still could be the best day ever!
Tano and Jez: The best day ever!
Lena: We’re tuckered out and have nothing to do,
But we could spend three minutes just being with you.
Tristan: (simultaneously) Dum, da dum, dum da dum, dum da dum, dum… da dum, dum da dum, dum da dum…
Deepa: Every block of grass or dirt or sand
Is reaching out to shake our hands!
Tristan: Dum da dum, dum… dum, shake our hands!
Ramona: It’s the best day ever!
Citizens: The best day ever!
Ramona: It’s the best day ever!
Citizens: The best day ever!
Jez: These past ten days, the world’s been closing in on me…
Tano: But when we’re feeling down,
We’ll work through those frowns.
Stick our heads out the window and look around!
Lena: Caves and cliffs don’t scare us. They can’t disguise
This magic that’s happening right before our eyes!
Ramona: Whatever comes…
Citizens: Whatever comes…
Ramona: There’s just one thing to do-
Make the best day ever with all of you!
Jezabat: Today’s the best day ever with
(a la Anna of Cleves from Six) All of you! YEAH!
(They all look toward Soren, the only person who hasn’t joined in the song by now.)
Soren: It’s the best day ever!
Creative Squad: It’s the best day ever!
Everyone Else: The best day ever!
Creative Squad: It’s the best day ever!
Everyone Else: The best day ever!
Creative Squad and Soren: (improv scatting)
Everyone Else: (at the same time): Bop, bop, ba dop, ba dop!
Bop, bop, it’s the best day!
Bop, bop, ba dop, ba dop!
Bop, bop, it’s the best day!
All: It’s the best day ever…
Oooh, oooh….
Deepa: (looking at the clock) There’s less than a minute left.
Tano: The sun’s about to set.
Jez: This is it, everyone.
Ramona: (making a wish with every last thing she has) Come on, Soul Saver, come on!
(Everyone stands by who they’d want to be with if the universe was ending. They’re all huddling together, embracing each other and joining hands.)
All: It’s the best day ever…
(Best day ever…)
It’s the best day ever…
(Best day ever…)
5…
4…
3…
2…
(They brace themselves and hold onto each other tightly…)
(...but nothing happens.)

Must-Visit Restaurants For Biryani in Chennai
Tumblr media
Familiar sentences you could hear in a biryani outlet in Chennai. "Anna half chicken biryani" or "Thambi bucket biryani onnu" or, more often, "oru kuska parcel." These are some basic sentences to order biryani in Chennai. 
I am not a foodie. But when it is biryani, I can not avoid it. Especially if I am hungry, I forget my surrounding, and my full attention is on my plate filled with biryani. I love biryani; If the food is well made, there is no second thought; I gorge on it. 
Chennai has a mix of biryani culture in Triplicane and its surrounding. We can smell the Nawab style of biryani. In other parts of Chennai, we get a mixed flavor. Few places we get to taste in the name of Hyderabad Biryani. In other areas, we can taste Dum biryani. 
But to taste authentic biryani to full fill your taste buds, here comes the list of 5 must-visit restaurants in Chennai to fulfill your hungry search for biryani. All these restaurants are known for their taste and service. They deserve your presence. 
Salem R R Biryani
S S Hyderabad Biryani
YAA-Mohaideen Biryani
Dindugal Talapakatti Biryani
Buhari
Salem R R Biryani
Salem, R R Biryani is a family-run business founded by R R Tamilselvan, well known for its quality and quantity. Salem R R Biryani is one of the famous restaurants gaining popularity among the young residents of Chennai. It is a sure treat for Chennai youngsters. 
Mr. R R Tamilsevan's story is a real inspiration for youngsters. This man built his empire all from scratch. He came to Chennai with an empty hand. Today, he owns Salem R R Biryani restaurant in numerous places across Chennai, earning millions. 
Like other biryani serving restaurants, Salem R R Biryani also serves their customers with basmati rice. Additionally, they provide "rytha" or "thayir pachidi" as mentioned in Tamil, along with the "eggplant curry" or "Kathrika thokku" as mentioned in Tamil. 
S S Hyderabad Biryani
One of the notable biryani faces in Chennai. A family-run business founded by Mr. S Abdul Samad. S S Hyderabad biryani is one of the household names when it comes to biryani days for a Chennai family. The taste is fantastic, so get ready to dive into their customer crowd waiting for their turn. 
They got the public's attention with their innovative marketing style by introducing the famous "bucket biryani" in Chennai. I remember people carrying "bucket biryani" on their hands-on celebration day. Do not forget to taste their "bread halwa" at the end. 
The story of Mr. S Abdul Samad is an inspiration for creating a brand from nothing is not that simple, but he has done it. S S Hyderabad Biryani has grown to 25 branches in Chennai and Coimbatore. If you are in Chennai, they have a presence in every corner of the city to cover your hunger. 
Sukkubhai Biryani
Another notable biryani face in Chennai is Sukkubhai Restaurant. Founder Abdul Khader started a small snack shop where they served "sukku coffee" later, people started addressing Mr. Abdul Khadher as "Sukkubhai"; thus, the brand name was coined. 
Sukkubhai's owner's story is one of the inspirational stories for today's youngsters. Through word of mouth, hard work, and brand positioning, Sukkubhai Biryani has made a niece in the food industry today. 
Sukku Bhai is famous for its unique menu list. Top of the menu, their beef biryani is a must-try here. Besides beef biryani, they are known for beef cutlets, fry, Kheema, and brain. Apart from beef biryani, they also serve Chinese and continental. They are highly recommended for "Beef Biryani."
Dindugal Talapakatti Biryani
A well-known brand, we can say the household name of every Chennai person. Personally, when I grew up in Chennai before I heard of any brand, Dindugal Talapakatti was the one emerging out of all.
I can firmly say that their branding of Dindugal Talapakatti started around the 2010-12 period. There were famous restaurants for vegetarian food, but a meat-serving restaurant was the one shining out of all. 
More than 50+ outlets in southern India, they are the number one brand I can say when it comes to meat-serving restaurants brand. Also, their food preparation is unique. Unlike other restaurants, Dindugal Talapakatti Biryani is prepared with traditional rice "seeraga Samba" or "samba rice." 
Buhari
I prefer that Buhari is the only restaurant to put Chennai on the international map. The reason is because of their innovation in the kitchen. They don't just prepare food; they also figure out what new can be designed for customers. 
One such innovative thought made them prepare the world-famous "Chicken 65". It is a deep-fried chicken that tastes spicy try it after squeezing lemon on top of it. Your stomach will crave it from the moment your eyes see it. 
During the early independent era of India, Buhari was the only restaurant that could be referred to as a restaurant. All their waiters were neatly dressed, and their serving style was international standard. Because of their service and reputation, many customers get attracted to their restaurant. 
Their first restaurant at Chennai Mount Road is still active and filled with customers. It is also ready to serve you and probably waiting to put off your hunger.

Then Anna headbutted her. "Ooh, ow, sorry. That was way harder than I'd planned. Anyway, take them."
"Take what, Anna? And what exactly are you doing?"
"Giving you my memories! Put them up; let me show you what I was like at six years old. And seven, and eight, and thirteen. I'll give you everything. Then it's your turn. Did you have awkward teen years? Because I totally had awkward teen years."
"That is not how it works," Elsa laughed. She’d meant the way Anna kept pushing her head into her shoulder like a cat, as if memories were transferred by contact.
Anna, though, looked up with her muddled hair and said, "Well, it should work that way. Life's too short to miss out on a sister like you."
- from The Next Unknown, chapter 10
---
This is a silly sketch I did after a lovely reader suggested that I try my newfound drawing skills on a cute flashback scene from the latest chapter aaaandd it came out looking like Anna had punched her sister in the face. I tried to fix it and now it looks like a meme 😂

"Teach you what?"
"How to be a better man, how to have mercy, and compassion."
Unbeknownst to you, a little purple and pink cat watched every step you took. Of course, it wasn't because he cared. Cheshire (unlike many other Wonderland villagers) genuinely wasn't affected by your presence, or lack there of, but the Hatter had asked him, in exchange of a hefty reward, of course, to keep an eye on his beloved Y/N.
While watching over you Cheshire just did a whole bunch of growling and nose scrunching. He hated the sight of the King, and even worse, was the sight of such a man in love.
"Such a shame to be the bearer of bad news dear friend," Cheshire said, not at bothered by the fact that he had bad news to tell "but it seems as if Y/N will be our new Queen."
The cat twirled a strand of his coloured hair around his index finger, as he fell down onto one of the many chairs along with the Hatter's never-ending table.
The Hatter's eyes widened and so did his toothy smile.
"She's carrying on with the plan! She will decapitate him herself and become our Queen! Oh but I'm so happy I could dance the Futterwacken again!"
He clapped feverously and suggested a toast, clearly missing the meaning of Cheshire's words.
"I'm afraid you missed what I meant, Hatter. She will be our Queen, because she will be marrying the King."
The atmosphere suddenly became silent, eerie even. The Hatter's green, sparkly eyes transformed into an ugly, rage-filled, yellow. The man gripped the teacup on his hand so hard it broke, but the rage, disappointment, and growing heartbreak fogged his brain to the point where he didn't even notice the pain, nor the blood trickling down his palm.
The Hatter was rarely angry, but when he was, it was enough to scare poor Cheshire, who didn't hesitate in disappearing into thin air. Or he tried to. Before every bit of his body could be gone, the Hatter grabbed Cheshire's hair, making the cat groan in pain, and threw him on the ground.
"What has he done to her!? Was it a curse!?"
Cheshire caressed his head and stood up to look at the Hatter.
"It wasn't a curse Hatter, she fell in love. After you deceived her and the King showed her nothing but truth and love, the choice was pretty evident."
The reasonable explanation seemed to calm down the Hatter, whose eyes morphed back into their greenish colour. However the dread and panic in his face were still evident. Cheshire, still quite upset at Hatter's tantrum, could see on his friend's face an expression of someone about to spew a terrible, terrible idea.
"We must get her away from the Palace. It's gotten into her head. Let's get her back to us!"
The man-like cat floated back to his usual place in the air, twirling in the process. He chuckled audibly, showing his sharp canines in the process.
"Hmm yes, let's steal her away from the man she's come to love, so she could be with us, the people who lied to her for our own benefit. Sounds like a party if you ask me..."
"A party!?" Haigha exclaimed, his left eye twitching as he smiled widely at the mention of his favourite hobbie.
"That's where the King's behaviour comes in our favour," the Hatter said, patting Haigha's head so he'd sit back down "once he sees her take her beloved Queen away, he will show his true colours, Remember how scared and freaked out she was last time we saw her? She said he seemed really sweet while talking to her until he eventually snapped. Once he snaps, he will freak out and bring out the tyrant's behaviour and scare her away."
It was hard for Cheshire to admit, but his mad friend's plan wasn't so mad after all. It was possible to accomplish what the Hatter suggested, and there was nothing to lose, you already hated them anyway.
The Hatter slapped his thighs and stood up, fixing his big top hat in the process.
"Shall we go?"
Haigha was already standing up from his seat when Cheshire stopped them.
"Perhaps we should discuss the plan further... Something tells me we might need some help from Absolem and Bayard..."
Sneaking you out past the Card Knights would take a lot of help, and Cheshire had already worked out in his head the escape plan. It would take a little pressure on Absolem, as he managed to care even less about the people around him than Cheshire did, but the cat was sure he could get a shrinking cake out of the blue catterpillar. After shrinking you and hatter down to the size of a strawberry, Bayard (the loyal dog friend of Hatter's, that Cheshire tried his best to keep a distance of) would bring you to the White Rabbit's house, as it would be too obvious to come back to the Hatter's cabin.
The cat had no intention to help you, but he did like to see some drama and commotion in Wonderland once in a while, and this was his chance.
Whilst all of the furious planning went on on the greenlands of Wonderland, in the Palace you and the King sat opposite of each other on his bed, gossiping like two high schoolers.
"And then my best friend at the time, Anna, slept with my boyfriend and said it was 'because of a dare'. I forgave her because we had been friends for so long but then she told my crush that I smelled so I stopped being her friend."
The King nodded along and listened attentively (trying his best to cross his legs just like you, but failing miserably) to your story.
"Hm yes, yes, I understand. My best friend ate one of my tarts so I cut off his head."
You couldn't help but scoff at the way he compared the situations, although you reprehended him right after for the heartless act.
He had asked to know of your previous life, how it was back in your world, and so you sat there reminiscing your past for hours on end. Most people in Wonderland came from other places, but Seonghwa had never been elsewhere, as he was born in the Kingdom.
"So this establishment you call 'school', was it like a club you went to where you reunited with your peers?"
"No, no. School was a mandatory thing for all kids, we went there and a bunch of teachers taught us about different things."
"Hm, but all you've told me so far were anecdotes about these friends of yours, what were these classes like?"
You blushed slightly, realizing that in fact, you didn't remember shit from school, aside from past dramas.
"Well, they told us many things about earth, about what makes the world move, about how society works, and what makes things work. We learned about gravity, about numbers, about stars-"
"Stars!?"
The King's eyes lit up as if he was a child whom you had promised ice cream to.
"Yes, stars. Why?"
Seonghwa stood up from the bed in such a violent manner, he nearly fell. The man ran over to his closet, from where he retrieved an old book. The hard cover was beginning to tear, and the once white pages had become a weird mix of brown and yellow, but you took it in your hands nevertheless.
"This book once fell into the Wonderland when I was a child. I was alone most of the time, so it kept me company. I can tell from the images it talks about the stars, and I think I learned a lot from it since I stared at them a lot, but I cannot comprehend the alien language."
The King leaned against the headboard, and you laid beside him, placing your head on his chest, so you could hear his now nervous heart beating fast from the contact. Out of instinct, the King placed his arm around you and pulled you closer, as you opened the book.
You chuckled slightly, after seeing the author of the book and opening its pages.
"Seonghwa this isn't an alien language, it's Italian. Well, I guess it's an alien language to you, but it was funny that you said it that way... The person who wrote it was very influential back where I'm from, he taught the people of Earth many things about our space."
The male listened carefully as you tried your best to explain the things in the book as best as you could.
"This here is what we call the Solar System. It has nine planets, but only one of them has people, this one, where I live." You told him, pointing towards Earth.
Seonghwa noticed how your posture changed, after you remembered once more that you would never return home again, and panicked for a second. He disliked many things, but your tears had definitely gone up to his number 1 on the list.
"How about I ask for a picnic to be arranged in the garden, and at night we can watch the stars."
You turned to face him and smiled as you nodded. Seonghwa's thumb caressed your arm, and you couldn't help but to place a soft kiss on his lips, as a 'thank you'. No matter how many times you did that, the King never seemed to get used to it. He would always feel butterflies in his stomach and fireworks exploding on his chest. Sometimes you felt perverted, thinking of how he'd react if one day you decided to take it... further. You imagined how pretty he'd look... But you decided to take your time. Baby steps...
The King couldn't wait for dinner time, and you could tell from the number of times he had gone up to the window and pushed away the blinds to see if the sun was finally setting.
As he was staring out the window, you came behind him and wrapped your arms around his figure.
"Can I tell you a secret?"
Seonghwa looked around, to make sure no one was nearby eavesdropping. He wouldn't want your secret to being known.
You tiptoed so your lips could be leveled with his ear.
"You're adorable."
Once you got back down and looked into his gleeful eyes, you smiled.
"Let's keep this secret between us!" He joked along.
"Yes, I wouldn't want the other ladies to know and steal you away."
Seonghwa held your face and lovingly placed a kiss on your forehead.
"The other ladies don't stand a chance next to you princess."
Your cheeks heated up and you slapped his chest out of embarrassment. The King's face grew worried and confused.
"Why did you hit me? Have I done something wrong? It was meant to be a compliment I'm sorry I compared you to-"
You grabbed his face and squished his cheeks, making him form an adorable pout with his red lips.
"Seonghwa, it was a good thing. I slapped your chest because I was embarrassed, I was really touched by your compliment."
Once you let go of his face, the King tapped his chin with his index finger, in a pensive manner.
"I have much to learn about our future interactions, I do not understand many things."
You just chuckled and took his hand in yours.
"We have many years ahead of us, you will learn someday."
The small acknowledgment of your future made Seonghwa very happy. Never in his pitiful life had he even thought of being this happy over small actions... Last week the only thing that brought him joy was the sound of a traitor's head hitting the concrete floors of the palace's main area, but since you arrived, a smile was all it took for his cold heart to start beating again.
It didn't take long before one of the frogmen knocked on the door to inform the picnic was ready. Seonghwa didn't let go of your hand as you walked outside, to sit among the red roses.
You had finally come to terms with Wonderland's weird food. You had no choice really...
"Have you never been attracted to anyone, Seonghwa?" You asked as you munched down on a sandwich of... whatever it was.
Seonghwa's expression faded a little.
"Once. I had just become King and I thought that the next step would, logically, be the find a Queen. Every woman displeased me. All but one. She was beautiful, hair as dark as the night sky, tanned skin from the sun, and a beautiful mole under the eye. But she was cold, evil... I thought that it was a perfect match. After all, I wasn't the most caring person. But she would treat me like a servant. Our relationship was purely to serve a purpose to the Kingdom, nothing else. We slept in separate rooms and spent the day apart. We only dined together, but since I saw the same behavior from my parents I thought that that was love. Our wedding had been scheduled long before she moved into the castle, we were simply waiting for the preparations to be finished. Everything was custom made, from the clothes to the flowers on every table. The day before the wedding I walked to her bedroom and found her laying with a servant of mine. You know, back when they weren't... Frogs. I had them both decapitated, of course. And I swore off love forever. That is until you came along."
You flashed him a sad smile and set down your food. He looked awfully confused as you climbed onto his lap, but he didn't protest.
You brushed his dark hair away from his eyes. Both of them. He suddenly felt very exposed and insecure, but you kissed his cheek, reassuringly.
"Ever since I came down here you've shown me nothing but love, and honesty. You didn't try to sugarcoat who you are, or what you've done, and I appreciate your honesty. My place in Wonderland is with you."
The male smiled, and kissed you, a little more passionately than all of the previous times. The male's hands trailed down your ass, and pulled you on top of his growing erection.
"For someone who has never been with anyone you're quite good at this."
"Well I... I lied. I had a fiancé after all, and we laid together but we didn't get far. There was no kissing involved, she just wanted to get it over with since I was the one who suggested we should... do it. But she made fun of me for not being good at it and I became... insecure. I was insecure and for the longest time I've wanted to try it with you, because you give me those special butterflies but I was afraid I'd disappoint you."
"What a cold, heartless bitch!" You thought to yourself. No wonder he was so bad at human interactions, every relationship he had was a trainwreck!
You grabbed his face and placed a long kiss on his lips.
"Well then, let me lead at first. If you start feeling more confident, you can take the lead, if not, I'll stay in control, okay?"
The King simply nodded and kissed you once more. This time deeper than he had ever kissed anyone. Tongues fighting so intensely the King nearly missed the way your hand expediently undid his trousers. Your hand slipped inside his boxers and took out his length. You looked down at the dick in your hand and widened your eye.
"Well aren't I a lucky girl."
You spat in your hand and kissed him again, as your hand worked up and down his shaft. The King was surprisingly very vocal, and he didn't try to hide or suppress any of his pretty moans (and for that you were thankful.
You stopped your hand, right as he was getting riled up.
"Ready for something better?"
The King watched you strip from your panties, and he cursed the frilly dress that covered your womanhood, but as soon as you sunk down on his cock, all of his worries and anguishes washed away. It was automatic, the way he gripped your hips and made you bounce on him as he snapped your hips against yours was something he did naturally as if he truly knew what he was doing. You brought out something different in him, and the King was simply doing was his body was telling him to do.
You gripped his shoulders, overwhelmed with the feeling of having him inside you.
"S-shit Seonghwa, you're good, r-really fucking good."
"Oh yeah?"
He flipped you two around, so he could pound into you with all the strength he had. Your words of encouragement were all he needed.
Your consistent (and loud) moans got him on the edge quickly, and he knew he wouldn't last long.
"Y/N forgive me, but I don't think I can last much longer."
Your hand reached down and began circling your clit, so when he came inside you, filling you up with his cum, you came right after, with a loud cry for his name.
Seonghwa laid on top of you, his face nuzzled on the crook of your neck, trying to regain his breath. You ran your hand through his hair as you did the same, looking up at the sky.
"The stars sure look beautiful today."

Ok last one I swear, cause I won’t have time starting tomorrow. It’s time for the Mafia boys-take, fell, and swap AND the Dancetale boys!
Snipe- Hurt- Johnny Cash
Bruiser- The Villain I Appear To Be- Anna (it’s starts out slow but trust me the lyrics fit)
Butch- Here comes the boom-Nelly (dekku remix)
Boss- Moonlight Serenade- Glenn Miller (I see him as a classic slow jazz kinda man)
Ace-He’s a demon, He’s a devil, He’s a doll- Betty Hutton
Slim- Ghost- Mystery Skulls
Pop- Dum Dum- Tedashii (my friend showed me this song and she created a hip hop dance to it and it reminded me of pop)
Rhythm- I want you back- Tony Succar (This is a salsa version of Michael Jackson’s song that I have danced salsa to before, I thought Rhythm might like it)
Again, I chose these because I feel like they either describe them or give off the same vibes I get from each skeleton.
Bruisers song is perfect!!! I think we found his theme song!!
Ace, slim and rhythm are really good too! Butch and snipe I don’t really see it. Boss is definitely a jazzy guy but a little more peppy. And pop is waaaaaay off lol

9 Things You Didn’t Know About Für Elise
Posted by Dr. Anna Wulick | Feb 9, 2021 1
From its first repeating notes, Für Elise is instantly recognizable. It may even be the most famous melody ever written! But did you know that when Beethoven first drafted this short piano piece, he stuffed it in a drawer, never to be seen in his lifetime?
Curious how it went from forgotten trifle to universally known? Wondering what exactly makes it such an unforgettable ear-worm? Need some tips on learning to play this piece? Then keep reading for everything you've ever wanted to know about one of Beethoven's best-known masterpieces.
Für Elise: The Basics
Ludwig van Beethoven wrote Für Elise 1810 as a small piece for the piano, and then put it aside with his many other draft works. We only have it because a musicologist found it and published it in 1867!
And it's a good thing for us that Für Elise was finally found! Its first five notes (alternating E and D-sharp) have become as famous as the booming da-da-da-dum first notes of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony.
Why has this piece been so popular ever since its publication? Musically, Für Elise is deeply melodic and full of nostalgic feeling, with a relatively simple harmony that makes it very accessible and not overly intellectually demanding. At the same time, because its first part is easy even for a beginner piano player to learn, but is also beautiful, it is often assigned by piano teachers the world over, perpetuating its fame. And finally, the romantic and mysterious possibilities of its name make us wonder about the identity of Elise and the love life of its composer!
Where Can I Listen to Für Elise?
Before diving into the history and background of this piece, here are some versions that will give you a great sense of the range of interpretations out there.
Start with this straightforward Für Elise piano recording:
youtube
Then, you can explore interesting takeoffs, samples, and modifications. On the piano, there is a great blues-imbued version, as well as a ragtime version. At the same time, the piece's arpeggios make it a popular choice for classical guitar interpretations like this one.
Because Für Elise is so incredibly popular, there are a million and one versions of it on YouTube. Do a quick search and check out the versions played by wildly talented four-year-old prodigies!
The History of Für Elise
In 1810, when he was 40 years old, Ludwig van Beethoven was already renowned as one of the greatest composers of all time. He was also already plagued by the horrible tinnitus that preceded his eventual deafness. Although the very next year he stopped performing in public altogether, he never stopped composing.
On April 27th, 1810, Beethoven drafted a bagatelle - a small, unimportant song - and jotted the label "Für Elise" on it in his famously messy handwriting. But he never published this piece of music. Instead, it sat in a drawer until 1822, when Beethoven revised it slightly, and shoved it back into the same drawer. In 1827, Beethoven died, and his bagatelle never saw the light of day.
It was only in 1867, 40 years after Beethoven's death, that a musicologist named Ludwig Nohl found the piece of music and published it.
Who Was Elise?
Remember how I told you that Beethoven jotted the words "Für Elise" on his final draft of the sheet music? Well, it turns out that we only know this from Ludwig Nohl, the man who found and published the piece. The actual final draft itself is missing! Not only that, but no distinct records, letters, or accounts from people at the time make mention of an "Elise" in Beethoven's life.
So who was the mysterious Elise that Beethoven apparently dedicated this music to? There is no conclusive answer to this question. There are several theories, however, which I will lay out in order of most to least likely.
Theory #1: "Elise" Was Beethoven's "One That Got Away"
Beethoven had a doomed love affair with a woman named Therese Malfatti. She was his student, and he fell in love with her right around the time of the composition of Für Elise. We aren't quite sure exactly how they broke up, but we do know that he proposed, and she either said no right away, or strung him along for a while and then said no. Either way, Therese then married someone else. So, the most popular theory is that our friend Ludwig Nohl misread Beethoven’s messy handwriting, and that in reality, the piece was labeled "Für Therese" not "Für Elise."
Theory #2: "Elise" Was Beethoven's Opera Singer BFF
A few years before writing Für Elise, Beethoven became friends with an opera singer named Elisabeth Röckel, whose nickname may well have been Elise (Elizabeth to Elise doesn't seem to be that much of a stretch, but we don't have any documentary evidence that anyone actually did call her Elise). Beethoven and Rockel were close friends until she married Beethoven's frenemy, Johann Nepomuk Hummel. Perhaps Für Elise was written in the midst of this friendship - or as a way of saying good-bye.
Theory #3: "Elise" Was One of Therese Malfatti's Friends
The least likely scenario is that Beethoven wrote the piece for another woman nicknamed Elise - Juliane Katharine Elisabet Barensfeld, who used "Elise" as a variant first name. She was a musical child prodigy who was Therese Malfatti's neighbor and conceivably could have been her student. This theory holds that Beethoven was willing to do anything for his one great love, Therese, including writing a quick piece of music for one of her favorites.
Since there's not enough evidence to prove it conclusively, we should probably use Occam’s razor for this one. To whom is a sad, longing love song dedicated? Probably to the lost love of Beethoven's life, Therese.
What Does the Title of Für Elise Mean?
The full title of Beethoven's piece of music is Für Elise: Bagatelle in A minor WoO 59. In reality, the stuff after the colon is the official title, and "Für Elise" is just a nickname for the piece. This is because musical compositions have a specific naming system that references type, key, and a numbering system. Let's unpack each of the components of this title separately.
Für Elise. The words “Für Elise” mean “for Elise” in German.

Hansy for the character question 😊😊😊
Thank you, Liho! I didn't think I'd get Hansy, tbh xD
Note: please forgive me if it's a long-arse answer. I have a lot to say about this dum dum/smug Prince that I care about. I mean look at him.
Tumblr media
First Impression
Just an evil Disney Prince who can sing.
The first time I watched the film, I had a feeling he was gonna be the bad guy, so the betrayal scene didn't really surprise me. Sure, he was a prince, he got a duet with Anna, he had an interesting character design (with the sideburns and all), but that was it. I didn't think further, nor did I intend to know more about this bad guy. I was one of those people who disliked him for what he did. Then A Frozen Heart happened, and it was a turning point for me. It's not canon, but at least we get a glimpse of a possible backstory and characterisation. I found it rather interesting.
Impression Now
He is actually more than just his auburn locks and princely looks.
To me, he is not that himbo prince. He is a grey character, who has many shades and many persona he shows to the world. To me, his twist makes him an interesting character.
Favourite Moment
"Don't be the monster they fear you are."
I'm a Helsa shipper and he just gets her, okay. But even before I hopped onto this ship, I thought Hans knew what to say on that scene. He probably took notes on Elsa's reaction before she fled, how her own people feared her. He probably knew how to use such information under certain circumstances, though I'm not saying he is *that* good or *that* observant or even has some *perfect villain* traits.
Idea for a story
If I were to write a story, I would give him the redemption arc (that I still believe) he deserves, and maybe a backstory. Also, idk if I'm gonna write this, but I'm interested in writing about Hans and his family, reimagined. It also involves a headcanon about his birthday and the unfortunate events surrounding it.
Unpopular Opinion
I'm not really keen about the troll magic theory (is that what it's called?). I feel like it'll alter his character and I probably wouldn't like him as much if it wasn't for the greyness. But that's an opinion. I like him flawed and human.
Favourite Relationship
If this question refers to a ship, then I'd say Helsa, because why not? 😌 I feel like they would make a good dynamic, especially with a good redemption story.
But if it's not, then maybe Hans and his horse, Sitron? In my headcanon, Sitron is his best friend and he talks to the stallion about anything, especially when he is lonely.
Favourite Headcanon
Unfortunate events surrounding Hans' birthday.
(You might recognise this one from the headcanon talk on Helsa Discord back then, Liho xD)
I think it would be interesting if he were born on 29th February 1816. Not only was it on a leap year but also on the year without a summer.
Welp, I guess that's all 😊
