Rant/Roast/Personal thoughts on the 2022 Schönbrunn concert version of Elisabeth das musical
So, inspired by the insightful video on this topic by fellow content creator @fitzrove , I decided to write down all my impulsive thoughts while watching this production, since Fitz's video will probably be the only bearable way I will watch the concert version.
Disclaimer: any criticism in the following list isn't meant as a direct criticism of the actors, they are just on that stage doing their job. But this is mainly a criticism of the creative team behind the production (i.e. director, choreographer, designers, casting directors...etc.), who are the main driving force and reason behind how a show looks and feels.
Disclaimer no. 2: The following text contains swearing. A LOT OF IT. And a lot of capslock. This production brought forth the worst in me while writing this and I wrote this at 4 am in the morning, so, you have been warned.
• Already hating the picture frame set and we didn't even begin
• The choreography for Prolog is already abysmal
• Why are we going off on the pyros? We didn't even get through the Prolog
• Whatever they have the Todesengel doing on the frame is dumb
• THE CROTCH CAM. Who's idea was it, because that is literally the worst angle they could have chosen
• Abla is so cute, but they did her so dirty with that dress and they didn't even try when doing her wig's hairline
• I miss Max wearing hunting clothes :( because where the hell is he going dressed like that?
• Why did they omit the line about Sisi wanting to join the circus if she weren't a princess? (Is it because of that damned swing?)
• Why did they decide to make a 3 year gap between Wie Du and Schön euch alles zu sehen? Because that makes Sisi 10/11 or younger during Wie Du, which just seems like an unnecessary change
• The amount of skirt hiking I see here is already exceeding my limits and we're not even 15 minutes in
• No costumes for the ensemble? I thought this was supposed to be the SPECTACULAR new version
• THE DREADED SWING. And it's even dumber than I expected
• I could already see Mark creeping in the background, so talk about an anticlimactic reveal
• And the inclusion of KKOG, my beloathed.
• The entire staging of KKOG here makes zero sense
• Mark, please get off that fucking swing. I don't care that you can take a seat on it from behind, just get off
• Also, why is Mark in white? Literally, why? When they kept in the lyric "Ich erkenn dich, schwartzer Prinz"? It makes no sense
• Ok, Lucheni on the swing is cute and understandable
• Andre was a good Franz back in the 1st revival, but at this point, he's too old to play a younger Franz in Act 1. If you're gonna split cast Elisabeth, do a split cast for Franz as well.
• And this gets only more apparent with Sophie, since the actress playing her looks about the same age as Andre. They literally look more like a husband and wife than mother and son
• Sophie's dress isn't bad per se, it is just very bland
• The male ensemble got some truly hideous coats for Jedem gibt er das seine
• Why are we skipping over the historical goodies of this scene? Literally, those were the whole point there
• PROLONGED HAND SHOT
• The costume department seems to have bulk bought that chunky gold trim and just said fuck it and put in on everyone's coat
• Abla stealing the conductor's wand and trying to conduct is so cute
• Her dress? Not so much. Very bland
• Literally, why are they cutting so much of the book? And especially Lucheni's lines in the middle of So wie man plant und denkt?
• The age difference is even worse now, that Abla and Andre are standing side by side (not looking forward to Nichts ist schwer)
• I miss Lucheni messing with Helene and Sophie :(
• I didn't think I'd like David Jakobs as Lucheni, but he and Abla are the only saving graces on that stage thus far
• Imagine what David could do with good staging and direction a la 1st revival and a complete book
• I even dare say that he could pull off being a Der Tod in the vein of Martin Markert, because he does have that chaotic "came here to fuck around" energy
• Yep, Andre and Abla look more like father and daughter together than a freshly engaged couple
• Okay, Lucheni holding the box with the necklace while giving the most dead pan face straight into the camera is honestly funny
• That necklace doesn't look the least bit heavy. It's literally just felt with some rhinestones
• They literally couldn't even give Abla's wig some forehead curls to mask that god-awful hairline? And they couldn't even curl it properly?
• Was the budget so tight that they couldn't even give the ensemble ladies ONE DECENT COSTUME?
• And they couldn't even iron or at least steam the wrinkles out of that wedding dress? And yes, I don't like it in all it's polyester glory
• The decision to have Mark's legs framed in the shot between Abla and Andre is a CHOICE
• Also, it doesn't look like Mark will change into the black costume anytime soon. Or at all for that matter. So much for the angels being in black
• Talk about "spectacular concert production". Yeah, spectacular that over half the costumes that should be here aren't even present and the set is amateurish at best
• And did Mark literally only stand there to do that evil laugh and then leave? Couldn't he have done that somewhere else?
• Oh, god, did I already mention that the choreography is bad. I can literally do better in my room at 3 am and I am an utter klutz
• I can't even make an argument for the exaggerated whisper motions being camp, because that clearly wasn't what they were going for
• Those colored gloves on the ensemble ladies are so fugly
• Also, the choice to have Elisabeth present while the entire nobility talks shit about her is a MASSIVE CHOICE
• Did Mark have in his contract that he must appear for a certain amount of time on stage? Because why is he standing there in the background?
• MARK, STOP CLIMBING UP THERE
• Okay, him telepathically controlling Elisabeth like a puppet could be an interesting idea anywhere but in a post 2012 production, where in their last scene together he told her "instead of ruling over you, I will be loved". Just makes Der Tod look like an ass
• WHY ISN'T THE ENSEMBLE FROZEN? WHY ISN'T ANYONE FROZEN FOR THAT MATTER?
• Manhandling your love interest is not the way to go unless you're Maté!Tod, who is essentally a giant cat in a human body. It's understandable then, because it does go along with the characterization there, but not HERE
• That was literally the unsexiest hip thrust ever
• Did Abla and Andre literally just flee the scene so that Mark could have his lead man big number finale moment for himself?
• I don't know how I didn't mention this already but MARK, TUCK YOUR GODDAMN SHIRT IN
• Did they literally cut the entirety of Die Gaffer?
• But when I think about it, it's probably better not hearing about the onsetting wedding night in this casting situation
• But they are doing David dirty by cutting so many of his lines
• And they literally cut the entire first verse of Eine Keiserin muss glänzen. Like, what's the rush, besties? You don't have a train to catch
• That change over between Abla and Maya was interesting, but I still am very much against the split track and plus the place they did it makes zero sense
• Did they hire the shittiest wig makers in Vienna for this? Because Maya also didn't get a wig with a decent hairline
• And they couldn't make the puffed sleeves on the nightgowns any less awkwardly short, could they?
• But Maya and Abla both slayed the vocals
• WHY DID THEY CUT STATIONEN EINE EHE??????!!!!
• If someone were to see this show for the first time here, they must be so fucking confused
• And if they want to excuse that by "oh, we're making it more understandable for a mass audience" BULLSHIT, YOU'RE NOT! You're making it LESS understandable by cutting all the context
• Also, the atillas look hideous. What did they make them out of???? Felt????
• Death now provides coffins for your dead kids! Also, for that coffin to have a 3 year old kid inside, it's kind of small
• That dress Maya got for this scene is so bad and just makes her look frumpy
• Yes, because nothing impresses your lady love like you doing a super manly power stance over her freshly deceased kid's coffin
• Homeboy, you didn't "float in a dance". You first telepathically controlled her movements, then were walking around all broody before you started manhandling her in the roughest way possible
• And yes, nothing calms down your beloved so much like wrapping her up in a coffin cover
• Maya looks so confused and yeah, girl, same
• Didn't they literally have anyone else but Andre available to carry the coffin away? What about the Todesengel? Is their only job climbing onto that frame and slowly spreading a wing each?
• Also, where is Mark walking to?
• DAVID IS BACK <3
• If they dare cut a big chunk of Fröhliche Apokalypse, I will scream
• Did they literally tell the male emsemble to bring their own beige trenchcoat to the job? Because it sure does look like they did
• They cut the second verse of Fröhliche Apokalypse...at this point, I don't even have the energy to complain about that
• At least they kept Lucheni's café apron, but it is kind of out of place since they have no set change to make it look like a café
• The amount of side-eye little Rudolf gives is honestly so funny
• Maya looks rightfully outraged at this production, but at least for once, she gets a costume that isn't outright bad (at least that robe looks decent, because that silky orange-y thing peeking out from under it doesn't
• Okay, that almost kiss was too close for this only being Act 1
• I would have liked it better if maybe Mark just remained sitting absolutely stunned for a moment longer than him immediately standing up after Maya pulls away
• I would have liked more smashing the Milchkannen onto the stage but I'm happy to see David back
• Why are they pouring the milk into mugs if it's meant to be for a goddamned bath? Filling an entire bathtub mug by mug seems kind of counterproductive
• OF COURSE THEY CUT A VERSE OUT OF THE SONG
• The cardboard cover for the frame is such a bad solution here. It literally could have been solved by different blocking and lighting but they did the laziest thing they could
• I feel like too much of the volume of the skirt of the Star dress migrated onto the sleeves. And what happened to making the Star dress looking soft and ethereal? Ever since 2012, the European versions just keep on getting stiffer
• At least the wig looks alright. It isn't the best, but it is, an improvement from that previous one
• They had multiple instances, where I feel a side entrance for Mark would benefit his presence. But this is the only time I feel like the top center entrance would be good, but they manage to screw it up once again and have him come on stage from god knows where only for him having to awkwardly time when to take the stairs to get the high ground while trying not to bump into Maya
• WE'RE ONLY AT THE END OF ACT 1???!!!
• Lucheni strutting through the audience with a hand held mic is honestly a mood, although I don't like the plastic toy crown they gave him
• Also, no Kitsch bedazzled jacket? :(
• And him not actually getting prop souvenirs, but the pictures being shown on the LCD screens seems like a massive cop out
• In short: they are doing David dirty with this staging
• The ensemble with their flags are just so unenthusiastic
• Okay, the carriage is a nice idea and Maya finally got a decent dress!
• But why is she already here? We're literally in the middle of Kitsch. Don't tell me they cut Éljen
• David is slaying, ngl and I would have liked to see more shots of him during Kitch rather than literally everyone else around
• Like, this is his big number, let him have his moment!
• Of course they cut Éljen
• And Mark still hasn't changed costumes, so I guess he's doing the entire show in the white version
• What are the ensemble ladies doing there during Wenn ich tanzen will? They are literally just there to block Maya from twirling in her dress
• Okay, Maya stealing one of their Hungarian flags is nice
• And we have a return of Der Tod telepathically controlling Elisabeth's movements and it's even worse than in Act 1
• I'm sorry, but where is all the spice this song is supposed to have? Maya and Mark literally have so little chemistry as Elisabeth and Der Tod due to this horrid staging
• Why is the lighting so severely purple and blue?
• I miss them flying at one another for that final chorus and pushing one another to the other end of the stage
• The camera operator must really like Mark's legs, because they make a comeback!
• They gave little Rudolf the blandest blocking
• But Der Tod taking Rudolf onto his shoulders is kind of cute
• Wait, I liked that blocking for once! Where are you going, Mark?
• Little Rudolf could literally not give less shits about Der Tod here
• Why did we cut the interlude and Lucheni's introduction to the insane asylum?
• Maya's dress has some nicely pleated cuffs, but that duochrome fabric looks so wrinkly. And her hat literally doesn't match her dress at all
• Okay, what is this weird newly added dance sequence and music interlude? Did they literally cut all the above mentioned songs for this??? It doesn't even sound like it belongs in this show
• That was the lengthiest and most confusing and unnecessary sequence ever
• Why did they light this scene in BRIGHT ULTRAMARINE when the only person on stage is Maya and she's wearing a RED/ORANGE/BROWN DRESS? It just washes her out
• And I forgot to mention that they couldn't have picked a more dull and unflattering brown shade for both Abla's and Maya's wig
• Why did they keep the mad woman there in the middle of the frame for the entirety of Nichts nichts gar nichts?
• DAVID IS BACK <3
• At least Sophie got a costume change and I like it much better than her Act 1 dress
• The return of those ugly out of period men's ensemble jackets :(
• They cut the middle of Wir oder sie. WHY ARE THEY CUTTING ALL THE HISTORICAL REFERENCES??????!!!!
• That was the most awkward transition in between songs ever done
• The female ensemble finally got some form of costume!
• And Frau Wolf is SLAYING
• Why did they cut the first verse of Nur kein genieren? And at this point I am convinced that someone has a last train home to catch and cutting down on the ensemble numbers was the only way for them to make it
• But, I like that we do get chemistry between Lucheni and Frau Wolf and that they got to split the lines in that one verse they kept in
• That fall down the stairs looked like it did take a while to practice
• And with it comes a costume I utterly hate: that goddamn lilac robe with the black lace chevrons Elisabeth wears for Maladie
• They literally couldn't have made that cape Mark wears here any less awkward in the amount of gaping it has in the front?
• Which is made even more awkward by him being in white
• If everyone remembers that gif set of Mark not catching the necklace at the end of Maladie during the 2nd revival: I think that is the reason why they kept him at ground level here
• And he does catch it, but that was literally so devoid of climax
• Sophie gets a nice bonnet/cape combo for Bellaria!
• Background framed power stance, but this time, they at least added some flavor with some contra lights
• At back to cutting more of the book for Rastlose Jahre!
• We finally got to Shatten!
• And Rudolf is a little too tidily dressed for my liking
• Oh, here comes the fishing rod/cat toy!!!
• Why are they sitting not looking at one another?
• Also, why are they literally 5 feet apart? As far as I remember, COVID wasn't that rampant in summer of 2022
• Matching one leg up on a stair poses
• The homophobia of not having the slightest bit of physical interaction between Der Tod and Rudolf
• But either way, I love Lukas as Rudolf. Still great 19 years later
• NO DON'T YOU DARE PICK UP THAT FISHING ROD/WHIP/CAT TOY
• Screaming at each other across the stage just like a couple of guys being dudes
• BEHOLD, CAT BOY RUDOLF. When the fandom said that Rudolf is our poor little meow-meow, we didn't mean this!
• You can tell from both Lukas and Mark's faces, that they also think this is ridiculous
• Why did they cut out so many of the feel good historical bits, but not Hass????? That is literally the only song I would prefer they skip here??????
• Lukas is so good in Spiegel (thanks for the feels!! Finally some good content from this performance!!!)
• And even though I dislike Rudolfs being dressed in Austrian style uniforms, Lukas has an especially nicely tailored one
• Lukas going to the ground to beg Maya????? My heart can't take the feels????
• MARK, STOP CREEPING IN THE BACKGROUND
• Oh, dear, the dreaded no-homo version of Mayerling
• And why did they choose to keep Maya on stage? During this scene? Why?
• Okay, the choreo is dumb again
• WHY DON'T WE GET THE TODOLF KISS ANYMORE VBW?????!!!!!
• AND WHY DID MARK NEVER GET TO WEAR THE MAYERLING DRESSES????
• Maya cradling Lukas's jacket during Totenklage is touching tho
To summarize: I wouldn't pay the insane prices for a ticket to this production for the amount of bad scenic solutions, lack of costumes and some truly abysmal directing choices.

Okay I've done a lil brainstorming for possible tag names for Platonic Maggie & Max (since romantic already has "Maxie" I'm focusing on a name that could end in duo like "______ duo")
List from me brainstorming what they have in common and how that can form a ship name (platonic) (they're besties ur honor)
M and Ms, Sticky fingers, Thieves, Black and white hat duo, Cheated duo, Leftovers, abandoned,
Toys Max had in isolation meets Maggie’s collection of items she steals (I can't think of a word that could narrow this into a good tag name but PLEASE DO lmk if you guys think of anything cuz I like this concept!!)
Flipping a coin, Gold coin, Coin duo, Coin flip duo, Bad dice duo, Dice duo, Cast the dice duo, Broken Mirror duo
Wrote a lot of these as brainstorming
I like the ones in the last bulletin but simultaneously they aren't terribly obvious
Like I thought abt if the name could be related to how Max and Maggie both started out in pretty unfortunate circumstances and Max ended up with good luck and Maggie the bad. Max got adopted and Maggie went to an orphanage.
I like coin flip duo the most but since in the books they aren't directly tied to coin
And I mean, I'm really just throwing these out there to see what'll stick in most posts for this, albeit, quiet fandoms, don't know if that would work too well
I am welcome to discussion and suggestions! Any noun + duo suggestions I'd be happy to sink my teeth into :)

Screen Protector Works!
Tumblr media
I decided to see if I could draw my characters without painstakingly rendering their heads in another doc and then copy-pasting them wherever I needed them. Also without erasing or touching the line tool. I guess so? But I still need to look at my cheat sheets. I may have a bit of an imagination deficit, autism-related or no. Situations, yes. Objects in space? Ah, no.
I dunno if that reads as John, but that's certainly how he feels. I am, indeed, completing his narrative arc - for now. I will not stop. More character development is coming! But maybe he can have a doughnut when he's all done with his latest freakout. If the lion doesn't eat them all. (I am not kidding, there is a lion and he will totally eat the doughnuts.)
The spouse says "just trying my gay little best" is T-shirt gold. Maybe I'll do you some printable designs when I'm ready to art for serious.
I get way better art results if I make a reference and trace it. I have a lot of ways to generate references, but I mainly cut and paste public domain stuff. I used to steal stock photos, 'cos I started out making my references and then drawing them on paper, but tracing might get me in trouble if the end result resembles the original too much. After an attempt to pay for photos like a good consumer, I got annoyed with the cut corporations take. And now that there's all this AI shit in the public domain, I'm looking into buying a digital model. I probably won't find one with, like, a toaster, but hands, bodies and some basic props are possible.
In other news, I'm trying to clean and organize my shit on this new computer and:
I MISS SHADING! WAAAH!
Tumblr media
I used to be so good at making things look wet! And hair! I know why I quit, and the eyestrain is still a factor, but I wanna do it that way. I don't like shadow puppets anymore! I'm pretty sure I stole the shape of those headphones off some Amazon product information, but all the shading and texturing is me... and pattern-fill, but... Look! I even did some freckles! I can do that if I cause myself pain, and pain is so fleeting! I don't even remember!
*sigh* I'm not gonna try it. I'm not. Not right now. I don't have the stamina. I WANT the stamina, but that means eye exercises, every day, for I dunno how long. Probably forever, though I must assume they won't hurt as much later. But I dunno if I'll ever be able to put the time into an image like that again. I got, like, a half hour drawing time right now, max. That's not even long enough to remember how I used to do that in Paint.net. It's barely enough to get used to the screen protector.
God, I know every smooth line in that is the shape tool or the line tool. That's bonkers. Maybe if I get used to GIMP again I'll be able to draw faster. Even with the screen protector, Paint.net captures my wobbles - as is evident. What a difference a digital assist makes.

i was listening to one of my albums i made in like 2016 or whatever and there's these segments in between songs where i took violent j from his biography (behind the paint) and just bitcrush him and made him into a weird max headroom and i thought it was funny
it kinda was especially the one right before Stressed Out X My Name Is (Twenty-one Pilot's and Eminem mashup) where i beatbox to his JJ Boys rap and he has a whole rant that goes like this,
"We're the JJ Boys on the microphone stand, and we're kicking it live with a faygo in our hand- Master T's on the table, now working in the stable and on his 'Didas jacket is the faygo label! This part of rhyme is for Jagged Joe, when I'm on the mic, I steal the show! All my girliefriends chasing me down the hall, I don't smoke dope or drink alcohol! This part of the rhyme is for Kangol Joe, known to the crew as the leader of the show! Kangol on his head, Adidas on his feet, gold around his neck so that he looks like Mr. T! This last part is for Master J, he rocks on the mic and he sleeps all day! He's always drinking faygo and that's a fact, and if you got beef, better change your act!
That's the old school JJ Boys, yeaaahh, little rap for you, anyway- i-i-i-i-i-is Eminem a good rapper? C-Come on man, he's fuckin' unbelievably talent talent t-t-t-talent.
Does he deserve to be where he's at? A-A-A-AbsoFUCKINlu-lu-lu-lu-lutley. He is a pheno-NOMENAL MC, there's no- NO...
N-no dOUbt about it, and there's also NO-nono doubt that we have taken two completely different-ferent-ferent-ferent-ferent tr-tr-tr-trail trails to get to where were at, and Emine-emine-emine-emine-eminem knows our TRAIL is the respecta-re-respect-t-t-table route.
The blue-collar, ha-a-ardworking, DY Y Y Y Y- I route, b-bitch! DYI, what's that stand for (It's DIY)
DIY, MOTHERFU-FUC-UCKER UCKER MOTHERFUCKER! YEAH!"
none of this was written i think, since sometimes he just goes on tangents n shit in the audiobook version and i love it.

Talking about a Poké-phoenix
In ''Something wrong with shiny pokémon #4'' video, I included a little nostalgia part.
And it was about a pokémon that's quite rare and even unknown, at least in the way it's obtained.
youtube
Many people are probably familiar with ''Ho-oh'', the legendary pokémon introduced in Gen 2 (Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal 1999 to 2001), representing a phoenix that has resurrected Suicune/Raikou and Entei.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Except that... Once Gen 3 arrived with the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games (2002 to 2004), we couldn't really access them, simply because there was no compatibility between Gen 2 and Gen 3, no transfer possible...
Tumblr media
Historically, Suicune/Raikou and Entei were available in the Red Fire/Green Leaf versions (2003), which appeared before Emerald, depending on the starter chosen (e.g. Salameche for Suicune), and after to beat the pokémon league, you can have only one of them as a fugitive on Kanto (although you'd still have to meet him - prepare a lead lvl 50 max, some repels and just camp around Cerulean City, and save before all - Wobbuffet is probably the best one).
Tumblr media
For Ho-oh and Lugia (and Deoxys), Game Freak had the good idea of making them available in the form of an event:
Take your Game Boy Advance, your game and go to a game store (a store like... GameStop store) to unlock the Mystik ticket... And it was only for Emerald, Fire Red and Leaf Green cartridges. If you missed this event, the action replay was your only solution.
Tumblr media
But where does that leave us?
Two other games were released: Pokémon Colosseum (2003/2004) and Pokémon XD (2005), two off-series games for Game Cube, a sort of 3D continuation of the Pokémon Stadium games. (I guess?)
Tumblr media
(You notice Groudon and Kyogre but... You can't got them in these games... 🤣 )
The goal is to purify all dark pokémons that you...
Steal.
Yes you can steal, but only dark pokémons. Dark pokémon are supposed to be more powerful than a vanilla pokémon (spoiler: not really, except against you...).
Lugia is obtainable on Pokémon XD, but once captured, all the rooms must have reached maximum tempo to purify it.
Tumblr media
(But honestly, you really want to purify XD001? 😯)
I played Colosseum, and my little memory reminded me that this game was quite time-consuming (and it was HARD!!!) Hours and hours of XP farming... Not to mention the time spent purifying the pokémons (48 needed to be purify). But that's not the point.
I would talk about him:
Tumblr media
(Yea... It's mine. Transfered to Sword version.)
Because what they don't tell you is that once you've reached a specific objective you can get it, once all the dark pokémons have been purified, you have to do... 100 Battles in the Mt. Battle on battle mode in the menus instead of launching the adventure. (Yes! Not in the story mode! 😑)
Tumblr media
Someone please... Where did you find THIS INFORMATION?! Can you really find it in the game?!
Tumblr media
This last screen after some hours of farming, battle, farming... farming...
This one is so satisfying, reviewing this shoot with Ho-oh reminded me how some games are sometimes absurd with their players, but some challenges lead to heavy rewards. It almost makes me sad that this kind of thing doesn't exist anymore in the latest games, there aren't really any challenges anymore... Or maybe they're not rewarded well enough... I guess...
Of course, my madness managed me to transfer this gem to the latest games (something I'd never have thought of back then), as someone had lent me the famous GBA-GC cable, so if you're familiar with transfer methods, you know the rest.
Tumblr media
Ho-oh became obtainable again, thanks to the HeartGold/SoulSilver remake of the Gen 2 games (Nintendo DS to 2009), then Sword/Shield (Nintendo Switch to 2019, from the second DLC...), then on Brilliant Diamond (Nintendo Switch to 2021) via Rosa Rugosa Park (with an intense underground farming), and Scarlet/Violet (Nintendo Switch to 2022, on the second DLC... Again...).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Finally transfered on Scarlet, all Colosseum Ho-oh had the ID 10048)
Without count event or an obscur way to got him (I mean cheat or glitch) I think the ''Colosseum Ho-oh'' is the rarest Ho-oh of all Pokémon games, and it will be still rarer with the closure of the Bank Pokémon (transfert from 3DS/2DS to Switch), while we wait for alternatives (I guess) from REAL PLAYERS, those who really appreciate this license.
I hope you enjoy reading stories like this,
Thanks for reading me 😊

Alright, since the tutorial is over, I can finally get to the part I'm excited about, awakening Blades! But first, need some Core Crystals. Where do you get those?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Steal them from the military, of course!
Tumblr media
Alright, I wanna save my rare for a little later on since this is very early game. So, we ready to go over how Blade summoning works?
There is a system that will guarantee you get at least 3 rare Blades, dubbed the pity system by fans. When you make your save file, you are put into 1 of 5 groups. The group determines the probability for pulling specific rare Blades as well as which 3 pity Blades you will receive. You can typically figure out which group you're in by checking your first few rare Blades against this list. (A 1 in the "Assure" category means they're part of that group.)
Tumblr media
Though, chances are you are in group 1. There was a programming error and rather than group 5 being put in the game, group 1 was instead put in there twice, so you've got a 40% chance of being group 1.
Pity system goes by points, your pity Blades come at 100, 200 and 300 points with the points resetting each time you pull one. A common core is worth 5, rare 25 and legendary 50. At the beginning of the game with the pool this large, a legendary is basically a guaranteed rare Blade, though I'd suggest holding onto it to better your chances when the pool is smaller.
Luck and idea stats are also a factor in summoning Blades. It's a lot of explaining many others have done in the past, so I'll just link one and leave you with the math equation:
Probability (in %) = max((sqrt(LUK)*0,01*1,3)+0,95;1) * 0.01*(100 + 5*[the highest idea lvl]) * [crystal multiplier] * [base probability]
Basically, higher luck means higher chance to pull and higher idea stat means better chance for a rarer Blade whose element matches that idea.
That's the jest of it, anyway. You can dive into the datamine more if you'd like to see some raw numbers, but for now, let's open some cores!
And this is gonna take a moment because I'm doing 1.0.0, meaning I can't skip the awakening, but honestly unless I'm knowingly pulling commons (as in all rares are finished) I kinda like the suspense.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Man the game really wants me to use a wind knuckle, huh?
Anyways, another misconception I wanna squash is common Blades are not useless! Some commons are even better than rares (I'm so sorry, Dromarch). There's abilities entirely unique to them. I actually did a playthrough a few years ago where I used almost exclusively common Blades and it was a blast!
For instance, Treasure Sensor is great for grinding cores as it can make enemies drop up to 100% more loot, add a gold chip (or whichever has this effect for the weapon class) and you can be getting a shitton of extra cores for end-game grinding.
There's plenty of others, like Open Space just increases damage outdoors (which is like 80% of the game), Back Attack (more damage from the back), Pinpoint weakness (critical damage increase), but possibly the best is Orb Master. It essentially makes elemental orbs behave like they do in Torna where any special the Blade performs adds their element orb, no need to do a 3-stage combo. It is INCREDIBLY USEFUL when chain attacking comes around.
Just take a glance into the datamine and you'll see how useful their battle skills really are.
Of course, so much of this stuff depends on the weapon class of the Blade. If it's a shield hammer, it's already bad, but a megalance, chroma katana or ether cannon? Gold, buddy. Also don't discount bitballs, I did my common run with an Orb Master dark element bitball and she was great.
Also, 4 crown commons are a keep. Basically the rarity difference in commons determines how full their skill tree is. Higher rarity means their skills and specials can level up higher and they also have more of them. I know 4 crowns can hurt since one more would've been a rare, BUT if you fill out their affinity chart THEN release them, you get an overdrive protocol. There's only a few of those in chests in the game, so yes 4 crowns are a wonderful resource and a necessity since RNG determines who is a Blade's Driver.
Oh, I explain all this about the gotcha system without really giving my thoughts on it as a whole.
The gotcha mechanic was put in because the devs thought it would make more people talk about the game online and boy were they right.
Tumblr media
I know it's really divided, I still remember the argument that since the DLC gave you cores, this meant you were gambling to "win girls" and... sigh
Look, I actually like this system. It is kinda exciting and overall just fun to see what you get. (Although it makes planning an LP HARD like props to Chuggaaconroy for being able to adapt on the fly to new pulls.) Every playthrough really is unique and like Pokemon, each Blade is essentially a 1-of-a-kind (unless they're a rare but those are the only ones people care about). It's a nice spice and kinda encouraging to try weapon classes on Drivers you didn't try before. Might be a bad combo, but hey! Variety is the spice of life.
It's gotcha, sure, but it's also baked into the core system instead of tacked on. Gotchas in games like Team Sonic Racing can get a bit tedious because you're mostly pulling for cosmetics, just trying to finish a catalogue, of sorts, but here it has an actual impact on what you're doing and helps keep things fresh.
So yeah, I like the Blade pulling system. Who would've thought someone who adores Xenoblade 2 would like this system.

There are two cars in this movie that are mine one is the Manta and there is a Ford mustang Boss and it is a fast car and Jim Morrison is the one who ended up with it mostly and Tommy f is the thief but the Mantis is held by Ben Arnold and they steal a whole bunch of cars from you and from him and they're using Tommy f and they want the originals and we don't want my husband in the original and we don't want him one in a funny car either that's not how it works how it works is we're making a new original and we'll put them in the new original prototype that's accepted usually he drives the number one and I drive the number one of the different make chassis but they're after these to hold on to them and it is an attempt to do it before we make the cars and it shows that they're the ones having it done
Hera Zues
So Zues says you see I don't know anything and thank God for her. I agree but it's sort of figured it out this is intense I mean this is really intense it is how it works and they're saying it and they say a lot of stuff these days cuz they don't prove that they're Superior and so forth and they're going after these shortly and daddy is pissed off then Arnold is pissed off and there's a whole bunch of people but Angelina Jolie knows where are the original Manta is and she is impressed there's so many people who are interested and she says what else am I going to do with my time and Chris has shopping in Walmart to try and look better and she's laughing because he's making hand signals it says it's awesome he's got to eat something else now and she says so I'm going to help him
Hera
This is intense for asking to publish
Olympus
You think it might work but our son and daughter say they might just grab the cars and trying to make it not happen let's have been doing with everything even the factories and we say they're probably right and we're going to have to make it work and we're going to have to beat them up
Frank Castle hardcastle
I think you're right I think there's still the cars to take the wind out of our sails but it goes the other way and Tommy f is going to be completely livid
Mac Daddy
I can't believe this so I can have to be for it and we can call it the Manta that's what it was and he says I'd rather call it the coyote and it's kind of weird he's like that he says you make it like a coyote like the Porsche in the script but with gold and gold on the maroon that is like the shiny maroon that I like and I like that that sounds really nice
Tommy f
It's got a certain position to it and we can do it in his early script and she says that's nice and so you have to combine them it comes out a little weird but it looks really cool they do it with a computer and he says he can have her do it and we like that
Thor Freya
We're going to go ahead and get this done and yeah the max are in the way already

Loving You For You [Maxwell Lord x GN!Reader]
Summary: Maxwell Lord is struck with a panic attack when he's getting ready to shoot one of his famous infomercials. He's hit with the trauma of his youth and begins to spiral, until you, his loving partner, show him that it's okay to feel afraid and it's okay to find admittance in his struggles.
Warnings: descriptions of poverty, starvation, body dysmorphia, panic attack, general insecurity, brief mention of addiction (alcohol and gambling), brief mention of abuse.
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 2000>
Author's note: So many of you loved 'Perfect to Me', which was about a reader who had their own body dysmorphia (you can find it in my Masterlist under ‘Maxwell Lord’, and asked me to write more. I put a little twist on things and wrote this, a one-shot in which Maxwell suffers from body dysmorphia and struggles to leave his past behind him. Reader discretion advised.
Masterlist
Tumblr media
When Maxwell Lorenzano was 6 years old, he owned one pair of shorts and two t-shirts. He had no choice but to wear them throughout the coldest winter in history, his knees red raw from the cold, and they lasted him for two years until he quite literally was growing out of them. When he finally parted with them, his mother gifted him with a dark blue knitted sweater, and Maxwell swore it was the best present he'd ever received. He'd finally feel the warmth he craved so desperately. The warmth that other children got from their parents embrace...he was getting from an itchy sweater that smelt like cheap beer and cigarettes. But it was his, and it was all he had.
After Maxwell's father stole all of the money for his gambling and alcohol addiction, he left Mrs Lorenzano with just five pesetas to feed the small family for a week. The brown eyed boy remembered that winter as the worst one yet. The bedwetting had gotten bad again and he had never gone so hungry. He remembered his stomach rumbling in class and his cheeks would flush as the other kids teased and laughed at him for it. He remembered stealing a banana from another kid's packed lunch, getting caught, and told that if he continued to steal, he'd be nothing but a criminal low-life just like his father. But he was just hungry. His shoes had holes in them so his toes poked out. He bathed in a tin bucket once a week right up until he was a teenager.
And thirty years later, Maxwell Lorenzano, or Lord, as he now went by, was staring at himself in the full length bedroom mirror. Everything was perfect. He'd proved everyone back home wrong. He became someone. Someone esteemed, someone important and someone with a heightened self worth. People asked for his autograph in the street and preached to him about their love and admiration for his work. He was a man who could make dreams come true. Everything was perfect… or so it should've been.
It didn't fit. Maxwell picked at the way the pale pink polo shirt clung to his body. He turned to the side and sighed when he saw the way it highlighted his little tummy. He sucked in his breath, trying to flatten it, but it didn't really work. And for a split second he considered how many meals it would take to lose that little bit of weight. This whole outfit had been tailored for him just two weeks ago and it was perfect but now he hated it. He didn't just hate it. He felt disgusting.
It was weird. Sure his insecurity about his body image was rampant as he took in his appearance, but he didn't feel like himself.
Truthfully, when he changed his name from Lorenzano to Lord he had done it to start anew. That name was his father's and he wanted no association with the man who had abused and tormented him and his mother. But when Maxwell Lorenzano became Max Lord, it was like the struggle ended. He'd fought for so long and so hard trying to fit in with the modern-day example of a successful businessman. He was the least American all-American man. He dyed his hair blonde, even seeked a vocal coach to try and rid himself of his accent. And it worked. Everything was being handed to him on a silver plate. He was the coverboy of Forbes, the owner of three country clubs and day spas across America. The Wall Street Journal were constantly on his case, wanting to interview him. He was swimming in cash. He had everything he could ever want. But it wasn't him.
He felt like a fraud. A liar. A con-man. And as he looked at his reflection in the mirror, he saw nothing but the broken little boy he was thirty years ago, wearing ill-fitted clothes and a fake smile. It wasn't meant to be like this. He was spiralling.
"Hey honey?" he heard your sweet voice call from the next room, your footsteps approaching down the corridor. His tense composure relaxed ever so slightly when he heard you coming, and he grabbed the white suit jacket from the top of the dresser, quickly pulling it over him. He didn't want you to see him like this. See his tummy and the way the stupid shirt didn't fit him the way it did two weeks ago. You'd seen him naked plenty of times and deep down Maxwell knew that you wouldn't care, but he just felt so vulnerable in his own skin. "The camera crew are waiting downstairs in the lobby and they're getting antsy," you sighed, pinching the bridge of your nose in frustration as you padded into the bedroom. "The director is insufferable, Max. I keep telling him this is your infomercial, not his, but he just-- hey, Max? Are you listening?" you narrowed your eyes with concern. Maxwell hadn't looked at you once since you walked into the room.
"Hmph? Oh yeah." he murmured, turning back around to see if his tummy poked out even wearing the white jacket over the shirt. It didn't, which was a relief for him, but the padded shoulders of the jacket made him look huge and boxy. And it was just another thing he began to hate about himself.
"Are you okay?" you asked, biting your lip and walking towards him. You wrapped your arms around his waist and placed your hands over his tummy. He winced. "Max?"
"Yeah I'm fine." he said quickly, pulling out of your grip and buttoning up the suit jacket.
As he was about to leave the bedroom to start shooting the latest infomercial for his company, Black Gold Cooperative, you grabbed his arm and pulled him back. You popped open to the button of his suit jacket, freeing his tummy, not that you noticed. "You should keep the jacket undone," you hummed. "I like you in pink." You placed the palm of your hand on his chest and subconsciously began to brush him down, straightening his collar so he looked as smart as possible.
"I might get changed. Don't really like this outfit." Max muttered with a frown that made your heart ache.
"Wh-what? You loved it when you tried it on for me at the tailors the other week. And you look so good. Is there something going on?" you asked curiously as Maxwell stepped away from you.
He sighed in defeat (and slight frustration), before ripping the jacket off his body and letting it pool to the ground. "Look." he said, pointing his finger aimlessly at his tummy.
"What?" you asked, genuinely bewildered.
"Look." he repeated again, wiggling his ring clad finger this time.
"Maxie you gotta help me out here," you replied. "What am I looking at?" You noticed Maxwell's lips begin to quiver and tears prick his dark glazed eyes. He swallowed a lump in his throat that he didn't realise he had before slapping his hand over his face in shame and breaking down into a heaving, sobbing mess. "Oh Max," you cooed, taking him in your arms and guiding him over to your bed. You sat him down on slid next to him, wrapping your arms around him and pulling him into your chest. "Baby what is it? You can talk to me."
"Nothing fits," he hiccuped, and you felt his tears dampen your own blouse. "I feel disgusting. I feel fake and. Disgusting. It fit two weeks ago- and now-"
"Max," you hushed him, running your fingers through his golden locks of hair. "It fits you perfectly. You look amazing, and I'm not just saying that because I'm your partner, I'm saying it because it really truly does. You look so handsome." you promised him.
"When I look in the mirror all I see is the old me. The me who wet the bed, who starved and stole and who couldn't save my mother from my father's horror and abuse. I moved here to escape it all, but it still haunts me. It follows me and I can't- I just want it to stop." Maxwell confessed, the tears now streaming down his face.
You had dated Max Lord for three years now, and you were both deeply in love with each other, but he had never quite opened up to you about his past trauma. You knew little things here and there but you never expected it to be so bad. Your boyfriend was suffering and you felt so helpless.
"I hate myself." he continued through a choked sob. He began to feel so constricted in his clothes, tugging his pink shirt. It felt like he couldn't breathe, and you saw the panic on his face.
"Hey, breathe with me. Let me help you." you whispered, cupping his face with your hand and wiping away his tears. He found himself subconsciously leaning into your touch and he followed your breathing. Inhale for seven seconds and then exhale. And repeat. It was working. As he followed your breathing, you gently began to undress him and as you discarded the garments of clothing he began to feel better.
Leaving him on the bed, you promised you'd be back in one second, quickly darting into the walk-in closet and bringing out some of his comfiest cashmere pyjamas.
"I- I can't," Maxwell panted. "I have to shoot the- the infomercial."
You shook your head, unfolding the pyjamas. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to do, okay? This is your infomercial. Not anyone else's."
"I can't let them down." Maxwell insisted, looking back at the clothes that were pooled on the floor. He had to be brave. For once he had to be brave.
"No," you said sternly. Maxwell looked at you with doe eyes. "I want you to change and get into bed. I'll be back in one minute, I'm just going to let the crew and the director know that we'll do this another day."
"Yeah but-" As always, Maxwell Lord was the most stubborn man on the planet. "I can do it. I can- I can-"
"Sweetheart," you whispered, planting a kiss on his forehead. "There's no shame in admitting when you can't do something. No shame in struggling. I love you all the same."
"You aren't embarrassed of me?" he sniffed wearily.
"How could I be? I feel like the luckiest person on the planet because I scored with you. You're the most amazing, gentle, compassionate guy I have ever met. Max, I wish the rest of the world got to see you the way I see you. You are perfect." you smiled and Maxwell felt his cheeks flush pink.
"I love you so much." he confessed, and you giggled, leaning in to brush your lips against his.
"I love you too," you smiled warmly, nudging your nose against his. "Get comfortable and I'll dismiss the crew. I'll bring a VHS up and we can watch a movie in bed too. Anything you fancy?"
Maxwell pondered for a second, trying to remember his wide selection of filmography he kept in one of the living room cabinets. He could always go with one of his favourites— a guilty pleasure he liked to indulge in when he craved comfort. "Breakfast at Tiffany's?" he asked with a hopeful glint in his eye.
"Oh yes, we haven't watched that one in a while! I'll make us both some herbal tea too," you exclaimed, handing him a comb so he could brush out all the hair product and reveal his natural waves. "We've been needing a movie day." you commented.
"Let's not do anything," Maxwell grinned. "For once. Let's just relax and cuddle and watch movies."
"I can't think of anything better." you smiled cheerily, pinching his cheek and giving him another kiss.

(for the favorites) Pokemon~ your choice of what you know better, the anime or a specific game (like Yellow, or Sun/Moon, ect)
ooh this is fun!! honestly I remember the older ones the best but sword and shield were kind of refreshing in a way. Arceus Legends is turning out to be a breath of fresh air too (something something breath of the wild joke) ANYWAY I only ever watched like the original pokemon anime so I'll toss that in with the games as well haha
blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most) honestly? cyrus from Diamond and Pearl. dramatic little bitch. moody. astronomically grand goals that seem so far out there i just wanna dig into his brain and see what makes him tick
scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) WALLY!!! from the original Ruby/Sapphire/emerald games. God i love that kid. What a glow-up!! I was rooting for him to beat me every time! very sad you had to beat him to progress. He is SO SHAPED!!!! his frail little heart is so STRONG and full of willpower and LOVE
scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) Sidney from the RSE Elite Four!!!! I loved his hair, his style, and also Dark type pokemon. He's also kind of an odd looking dude, not the sort of guy most people would give more than a second thought to, but he's like. also gender goals lmao that's probably why he stuck in my brain like a nettle
glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) MISTER BRINEY!!!!!!!!!!!! from RSE :D him and Peeko oh my god. even now, like twenty years later I sometimes randomly utter "Anchors aweigh! Peeko, we're setting sail my darling!" when I start something or go somewhere lmao ah i just. his heart is so full of love for little Peeko and I hope they're still sailing about together :')
poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) Silver, the rival from Gold/Silver. I got pretty into Yellow which was my first pokemon game ever, but I got Gold the christmas I was 12 and it poured itself into the wrinkles of my brain like concrete and solidified forever. I love this little asshole so much. Why are you such a dickhead? What's your issues? A little kid catches you peeping on their neighbor and you shove them in the dirt? You steal pokemon and use them to intimidate people? Oh I want to put you in a glass jar and shake you and write a case study on you.
horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) Oh my god. Archie and Max. The Team Aqua and Magma guys. And all the Team Galactic admins. Horse plinko for all of you. What the fuck are you wearing. Look at your life, look at your choices!!
Oddly enough I don't want to plinko Silver, I just want to know what makes him tick. lol Oh. But I almost want to dangle Professor Laventon (Arceus Legends) over the plinko while threatening to send him through unless he changes that fucking hat -_- i'm sorry I just. I can't take him seriously I know he's supposed to kind of be a doofus academic but BLEASE that fucking hat at least wear a matching jacket!!!
eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell) I don't remember... I think it was Black/white?? But that Ghetsis guy. The abusive cult dad. Fuck him. I don't even remember what his shtick was but I'm glad his kid was able to have like. positive character growth.
I really wish I could find my X/Y cartridges, I lost them some years ago and I remember really enjoying that gen :( thank you for asking!! look out, I'm going to go to your askbox next >:D

Osblaine week 2021, Day 2: Lyrics
Tumblr media
Over the last several weeks, I have carefully curated a playlist for Osblaine. The final total length of the playlist is 2 hours and 53 minutes.
The playlist can be found HERE
Click "Keep Reading" if you're interested in the introduction, commentary, more graphics and the full tracklist.
For full disclosure, I have to give some of the credit to my amazing fellow Osblaine fangirls @dystopiandramaqueen, @splitscreen and everyone who participated in a certain conversation for the original inspiration and even bringing up some of the songs.
You should look at the playlist in five parts: one section for each season that's aired and one section for the future (because I like to end things on a hopeful note).
The playlist contains a lot of the following:
Music from movie and TV soundtracks
Instrumental music
Remixes
Classics and covers of classics
Country music. I blame Florida. My sincerest apologies.
Some of the songs were chosen because they reminded me of a certain Osblaine scene, and some of them aren't specific to particular scenes but chosen for the general Osblaine vibe. And most of the movie/TV music I chose have been used for couples that remind me of Nick and June.
Part I- Season 1, first 12 songs of the playlist:
Tumblr media
Forbidden Love- Abel Korzeniowski, Jasper Randall, The Hollywood Studio Symphony (Romeo & Juliet)
Fireflies- Owl City
Echoes in Rain- Enya
My Ghost- Glass Pear (Bones)
Daring to Hope- Anne Dudley (Poldark)
Everytime We Touch- Cascada
1000 Times- Sara Bareilles
Too Good At Goodbyes- Sam Smith
In Case You Don't Live Forever- Ben Platt
To Find You- Cast of Sing Street, Brenock O’Connor
She- Elvis Costello (Notting Hill)
Miracle- Instrumental- Cö Shu Nie
Hanging By A Moment- Lifehouse
Commentary:
The first instrumental song IMO works as an intro for their entire love story.
The next two songs are more about having the right vibe. It's a little ambiguous and dark because that's how their life is in Gilead.
Leave my door open just a crack
Please take me away from here
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Please take me away from here
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
Please take me away from here
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
***
Wait for the sun
Watching the sky
Black as a crow
Night passes by
Taking the stars
So far away
Everything flows
Here comes another new day
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
***
"My Ghost" is June's POV before they sleep together, wondering if she can trust Nick:
Who can you trust, in this place?
And whom can I put my faith?
If you're real, then show me now,
Who you are
The last two songs are for episode 1x10, for both Nick’s reaction to June’s pregnancy and the beginning of her first escape attempt (arranged by Nick).
She may be the face I can't forget The trace of pleasure or regret May be my treasure or the price I have to pay She may be the song that summer sings Maybe the chill that autumn brings Maybe a hundred different things Within the measure of a day
Part II- Season 2, next 10 songs:
Tumblr media
Love Will Keep Us Alive- Eagles
So Easy- Phillip Phillips
Incomplete- James Bay
Rewrite the Stars- The Piano Guys (The Greatest Showman)
I’ll Be Your Shelter- Taylor Dayne
Love Never Fails- Brandon Heath
P.S. I Love You- 05:11- John Powell (P.S. I Love You)
It's A Girl- Mychel Danna (The Time Traveler's Wife)
I'll Stand By You- Josh Groban, Helene Fischer
The Miracle of Love- Eurythmics
Commentary:
The first four songs cover June’s escape attempt and the time they share at the Boston Globe.
"Incomplete" is Nick's POV from when she's on the run and he knows she'll be gone from his life soon. He lives in the moment.
I don't wanna look down
I don't want us to break up in the clouds
All I want is to stay us, to stay with you now
"I'll Be Your Shelter" is for when June's mental health is at its lowest point and he goes to Serena to beg for her to get June help.
What you need is a friend to count on
What you got baby you got someone
Who will stay when the rain is fallin'
And won't let it fall on you
P.S. I Love You takes me back to episode 2.09, Nick’s selflessness in the episode and of course the scene where after telling June that Luke loves her, he tells her that he loves her too, despite believing she probably doesn’t feel the same way.
It's A Girl makes me think of the beautiful moment they share during June's false labor when he helps her out of the van and they climb the steps together.
I’ll Stand By You is for 2.10, Nick holding June after she was heartbroken over Hannah and over what the Waterfords did to her and clinging onto him.
Part III- Season 3, next 6 songs:
Tumblr media
Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close- Alexandre Desplat (Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close)
All I Ask- Adele
Never Enough- Loren Allred (The Greatest Showman)
I Don’t Wanna Live Forever- Taylor Swift, ZAYN (Fifty Shades Darker)
Love is Gone- SLANDER, Dylan Matthew
Constellations- The Oh Hellos
Commentary:
For obvious reasons, it was extremely difficult to pick songs for this season.
The first (instrumental) song is for the beginning of the season with June coming back to the Waterford house and them then saying goodbye to each other on the street.
All I Ask, Never Enough, I Don't Wanna Live Forever and Love Is Gone are for their night together in June’s room at Lawrence’s (the one we didn’t get to see sigh). They know it's possible it's all they'll ever have, and they'll take it, but it'll never be enough.
I will leave my heart at the door I won't say a word They've all been said before, you know So why don't we just play pretend? Like we're not scared of what's coming next Or scared of having nothing left
Look, don't get me wrong I know there is no tomorrow All I ask is
If this is my last night with you Hold me like I'm more than just a friend Give me a memory I can use Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do It matters how this ends 'Cause what if I never love again?
***
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough
Never be enough
***
I'm sorry, don't leave me, I want you here with me
I know that your love is gone
I can't breathe, I'm so weak, I know this isn't easy
Don't tell me that your love is gone
That your love is gone
"Constellations" is for their long separation and the doubts that I'm sure plagued them both during it. Would they ever see each other again?
Part IV- S4, next 12 songs:
Tumblr media
All of Me- John Legend
(Everything I do) I Do It For You- Bryan Adams
Iris- Natalie Taylor (City of Angels)
She Was Like A Bright Light- Hans Zimmer, Rupert Greyson-Williams (Winter’s Tale)
Noah's Last Letter- Aaron Zigman (The Notebook)
What’s In The Middle- the bird and the bee (Bones)
ivy- Taylor Swift
Footprints in the Sand- Leona Lewis
Remember Me (Lullaby)- Gael Garcia Bernal, Gabriella Flores (Coco)
On The Nature Of Daylight- Max Richter
My Heart Will Go On- Basil Jose (Titanic)
The Story- Sara Ramirez (Grey's Anatomy)
Commentary:
There were sooo many songs I wanted to include in part IV, but I controlled myself and ended up with this particular dozen.
"She Was Like A Bright Light" and "Noah’s Last Letter" are an instrumental double punch to the gut for Nick’s time in Gilead during episodes 4.07-4.09. The first one is meant for when he finds out June made it to Canada, and the 2nd for is for when he starts to gather info on Hannah to give to June.
"What’s in the Middle" and "ivy" are June’s POV of episodes 4.07-4.09.
"What's In The Middle" has more of an angry and confused vibe, and June was definitely both in episodes 7 and 8.
Losing your head is such a common theme
All your brains are falling out, falling out the open seams
Where is the heart, is the heart of the matter
I will empty out my skull of all this useless chatter
On the other hand, "ivy" has this haunted vibe, but there's also reverence and acceptance, which she begins to achieve in episode 9.
Oh, goddamn
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
Oh, I can't
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
My house of stone, your ivy grows
And now I'm covered in you
The next three songs are of course all for their reunion in 4.09, and I couldn’t resist including the song that was actually played in the scene.
"The Story" draws the season to a close nicely, with June understanding that her current needs are different from what they used to be and that there’s someone who understands her completely (and it’s not Luke).
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
And I was made for you
Part V- Season 5 and Beyond, the last 6 songs
Tumblr media
Secret Love Song- Little Mix, Jason Derulo
Burn With You- Lea Michele
The Bones- Maren Morris
Feels Like Home- Auli'i Carvalho, Keegan DeWitt
Love Will Find A Way- Piano Covers (Lion King II)
Like I'll Never Love You Again- Carrie Underwood
“Secret Love Song” is a more angsty tune about a love that’s still kept a secret like June and Nick’s love (as far as most people are concerned). Now that they’ve already made out in front of the man who raped and abused June and made Nick watch him do that, I want to believe they can let go of the secrecy in S5, at least when it comes to a few people.
I'm living for that day Someday Can I hold you in the street? Why can't I kiss you on the dancefloor? I wish that we could be like that Why can't we it be like that? Cause I'm yours, I'm yours Why can't you hold me in the street? Why can't I kiss you on the dancefloor? I wish that it could be like that Why can't it be like that? Cause I'm yours Why can't I say that I'm in love? I wanna shout it from the rooftops I wish that it could be like that Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours Why can't we be like that? Wish we could be like that
***
“Bones” is about a relationship with a strong foundation, which IMO they do have. It will carry them in the future, too. They’re more into each other now than ever before and especially June is coming to terms with how strong that love is. They’ll weather any storm.
When the bones are good, the rest don't matter
Yeah, the paint could peel, the glass could shatter
Let it break 'cause you and I remain the same
When there ain't a crack in the foundation
Baby, I know any storm we're facing
Will blow right over while we stay put
The house don't fall when the bones are good
***
“Feels Like Home” is more hopeful. Their home is with each other and I hope that’s something that will be explored more in the future.
Take me, I'm ready
Go slow but go steady
To a place that we can call our own
I wanna know what feels like home
***
“Like I’ll Never Love You Again” is a good conclusion for the playlist. It’s hopeful and a testament to an epic love.
I wanna love you like the rain on a roof
Stronger than a bottle of a hundred ten proof
I wanna take love to places that love has never been
Yeah, I wanna love you like I'll never love you again
And I'll love you again
Oh, and again

CHAPTER 1
He looked you over deliciously slow, his dark eyes glazing over with lust.
"Welcome to Hype Entertainment," he said in a seductively accented tenor voice.
You could just imagine that voice urging you on as he took you from behind.
Fuck.
In your 30 years of existence, no man had ever rendered you completely and utterly dumbstruck. Yet, here he was, in all his strapping glory - Jimin Park. Former pop idol turned music industry tycoon at just 33 years old.
In the quiet office, your racing heartbeat threatened to give away what your face wouldn't. You were a mess, flushed and burning under your perfectly tailored navy power suit.
"Thank you, Mr. Park, we are looking forward to heading up your penetration strategy."
You drew out the last part, lingering on the words while you threw a somewhat cocky glance his way.
"Delighted to have you on board of course," Jimin returned your gaze, his grey eyes holding your hazel orbs for an electrifying moment. You flashed him a coy smile and he looked away quickly, clearing his throat.
Haha. Gotcha.
You'd be damned if you let him think he got to you that easily.
You were a sexy shark, devouring whole industries and leaving stragglers behind in a dense cloud of obscurity. Which, in the fiercely competitive world of business, meant certain death. Marketing was your thing and your services came at a premium.
You had founded a wildly successful consultancy firm with your close friends Max, Jae, and Sadie - who you'd met in college.
Hype Entertainment had contracted you to head up their entry into the North American music market. With solid gold status in Asian markets, Hype was looking to shake up the global scene. Expanding into the US was a logical first step and a major part of the plan.
Freshly signed contract in hand, you let the sound of your red bottoms echo through the office as Jimin led you out. You couldn't help but steal glances at him. Sans suit jacket, you could make out the shape of his thighs and just how tight his ass was. Idol days behind him, he had filled out quite nicely.
He was the epitome of masculinity. Delectably sculpted, sex appeal oozed right from his immaculately styled hair to his plump pink lips. He was dangerous. The slight throb between your legs assured you of the fact.
"We'll be in touch to discuss preliminaries Mr. Park, it would be prudent to get both teams firing on all cylinders."
"Certainly Miss Thompson," he mused in a slightly deeper tone that sent a shiver down your spine and tickled your core. The cheek. Yep. Your black lace thong was soaked through.
Fuck him. With as much dignity as you could muster, you bowed quickly, pulled your shoulders back, and proceeded to strut out of there.
Once inside your car, you popped down the mirror to check yourself. Makeup, flawless. Hair, sleek. If only you felt as good as you looked. Damn Jae for ditching you. Fucking traitor, leaving you to handle Park Jimin on your own...
You were interrupted by the buzzing of your phone.
It was Jae calling - like he could sense your murderous thoughts.
"Jae," you started.
"Don't Jae me. How's Park Jimin in the flesh?"
"We just closed on one of the biggest deals of our lives and that's all you're thinking?"
Jae chuckled darkly. "Babe, you know I was a simp for BTS back in the day...tell me... are his lips still sinfully plump?... What about his hair? They hardly get camera time now that they're business hotshots. Did you get to meet any of the others?"
"Jae omg chill, no I didn't meet the others. We'll be meeting them in due time, speaking of which... YOU'D BETTER tone the fangirl down or I swear..." you scolded, voice raising a pitch.
"You'll finally suck my dick?" Jae piped in a breathy tone.
"Keep dreaming Jaehyun," you deadpanned - this man would be the death of you. Your best friend was just something else. Sweet and competent one minute and crazy ex-Idol fuck boy the next minute.
"You know you've wanted this since you laid eyes on me. I became a boss for you baby. I left that NCT life to strike it big with you sweet cheeks," he continued.
"Uhm Jae, there were definitely other reasons (scandals, obsessive man whoring) but I could be wrong. "
"Ouch! My hearteu!" Jae fake sputtered as you belly laughed into the phone.
"See you at dinner babe, gotta run!" you said after you'd finally caught your breath.
You had hours to spare before your celebration dinner later that evening but you needed to go home and get your damn bearings after that intense meeting with Jimin.
You could only imagine how meeting the rest of them would go. You, Y/n Thompson a sputtering, dribbling mess as you tried to mutter a coherent thought to V or worse yet, RM - your ultimate bias wrecker.
Yes, you were rather rapidly falling into the fantasies of your early twenties and needed to get a handle on yourself STAT.
Damn Jimin for getting you all hot and bothered...

I'm trying making cold-brew tea and drinking out of the very nice actually gold-plated teacups I got for a steal at Yesternook, from before I moved into the neighborhood and it immediately shuttered before I could go again. Use the fine china! They have Orpheus and Eurydice on the cups and saucers, but the cups also have Dionysus on them as well, all six in the set the same images. Very curious, but it's luxurious to use. For Bandcamp Friday, I picked up Three Feral Pieces (above) and Landwerk No. 2 (no. 1 all sold out! I'm devastated!) by Nathan Salsburg, who is my favorite guitarist. I never knew I could love so many instrumental guitar albums before him, but now I do. Feral Pieces is a BPB collabo with Joan Shelley on Wurlitzer as well, setting Max Porter scraps to music - it reminds me of being in my mom's friend's hair salon on Bardstown Road and the specific ambiance he always had. It was fitting for the neighborhood but also remarkable since it's basically sandwiched in between Buns and Wick's, or was. Landwerk is even better but it's calm instrumentals to go insane to and not really something I want the professor across the hall to have as the only thing he knows about me. My Spotify current playlist for Tim's shop is six hours long already.
As for the slow drip of furniture &c that three weeks in is still ongoing, I have this theory that my great-aunts (who, for years upon years upon years in normal times, all three get together with my grandma as fourth to play cards and have dinner every Wednesday) and not to mention their friends have been so excited to pitch in toward my new solo apartment is because they all know I'm not going to have kids, and god knows if or when I'll get married, so this is the big life event of the moment. My (not so baby!) sister has gone and purchased her own condo, but Sam's moving out for the first time and wants to buy her things new and matching, which I respect. I like that most all my furniture is used or hand me downs; my dressers were used by my grandfather and his brothers, then his daughter when she went to college and stayed in that same house, then by his wife (the same above grandmother) when she lived with me when I was in college and my great-grandparents' things were finally divvied up, and now it's mine. So three or four family generations in that one thing, and somehow almost all the wood tones in my apartment match it.
That coffee table in the first photo I bought with my grandma in my first apartment, but the table she and her sister Cathy have spent the last week refurbishing for me. She wants me to send a photo of my couch so she can match cushion fabric to it for the chairs, even though I don't think they really need cushions. It'll tie the room together, she says, and she's right. The backside folds out, too, so if I ever want to have a big dinner, I can. For now, there's just tea and baking bread to thank my downstairs neighbor for being so chill about the flooding-their-apartment thing/giving me a clothes rack.
