[ STELLARS — a guide to astella’s fandom . ]

WHAT ARE STELLARS ? ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ stellars is the name given to the fanbase of kpop idol astella , the name was given to fans on january 10th , 2022 – three months after her debut . the fanbase is known for being fairly nice to get along with , only getting rowdy when it’s time to ‘ defend heejin ‘ . they’re very loyal , quite literally known for getting astella out of ‘ nugudom ‘ , convinced her company to have her perform at coachella , although she didn’t headline , it was still an amazing achievement for her . they even have their own community on twitter (x) , called stellars!

THE OFFICIAL STELLARS COLOURS ! ... the official colours for stellar are the swan ( #FCD417 ) , the sun ( #FF709C ) &&. the cyclop ( #FE8650 ) . each color is meant to represent astella’s growth ; her time in promise being the swan , first year as a soloist being the sun , and the cyclop being her revenge (reputation) era , the one she’s currently in .

THE OFFICIAL STELLAR LIGHTSTICK ( insp. venusvity ) ! ... THE FIRST lightstick , also known as the stellabong , was the very first light stick that dropped 2 months after astella’s initial debut in 2021 and came free with the physical album copy . stellars absolutely loved the design of the lightstick , it’s chargeable and can change into three different colors when you press the button , it is still available on astella’s website to this day .

THE ORIGINAL lightstick was released a month after the stellabong , it’s the only lightstick that stellars have where there is a handle. it’s known to be the least favorite light stick out of the the generations , although it is still used when astella performs on inkigayo or music bank , this really played into the mermaid feel a little bit , her international fans aren’t very fond of it , but her korean fans like it . the current retail price is $34 USD ( ₩45,307 ) , although as of 2024 it isn’t bought as much . however , at concerts astella still uses it whenever she can!

THE LATEST stellabong was release early june 2022 , just in time for astella’s performance at lollapalooza paris , replacing the previous one after a year run to mark the start of the ‘ revenge era ’ . simply being a modified version of the first gen stellabong , fans enjoyed improved shaping and quality , they definitely think this one is the best lightstick out of all three , it looks pretty , and just like the first one can change colors! the current retail price is 65$ USD ( ₩86,617 ) , astella likes to keep the prices of the lightstick’s in range so that most of her fans are able to afford it . but , there are still resellers in the fandom who either sell the lightstick for more or a cheaper price .

WHAT IS STELLARS FAVORITE ERA? ... NOBODY KNOWS is the most popular era out of all of astella’s comebacks so far , she gained tons of fans during this era and going viral almost every day thanks to her beauty . in a fan vote , 50.5% of stellars said they liked this era the best . ever since this era started , stellars started to get the ‘ stellars are so toxic ‘ treatment , they don’t care , they obviously act the way they do because of all the things heejin has been through . she also is active a lot on bubble and instagram threads , where she talks abiht things behind the scenes .

SUGARCOAT comes second in terms of popularity , having been voted by 45.1% of fans . most of this popularity stems from the fact that she just got out of her contract with her old company , almost getting blacklisted , and her name being infamous for the amount of months she was gone , a lot of the streams from this song , which garnered over 70 million views , came from people hate watching , wanting to see what’s all the hype about , but they ended up loving the song . before nobody knows became the best era in stellars eyes , sugarcoat was their roman empire .

QUEENDOM , is in third place , with a whopping 5.05% , queendom was the era of heejin being in promise , stellars don’t even want to talk about astella being the group . a lot of them like to pretend she was never in the group and was always a soloist after finding out in the lawsuit she made against her old company of the way she was treated , stellars don’t hold anything against the girls! a lot of them are still fans of them , they just won’t hesistate to hate on the company , a lot of ‘ toxic stellars ‘ would berate the members , saying they should’ve said something about her mistreatment but seeing how they really had no power stellars understand why the girls didn’t say anything . but it is thought to be known that the members still support her and astella does the same .

very much inspired by @mvneaten btw! it’s this post!

2024 gmmtv bl + gl predictions/wishlist

okay okay, i know it's only july. but i'm a little crazy, so i'm already thinking about the 2024 lineup. some general observations that are informing my predictions:

the 2023 lineup features 9 bls and 1 gl (out of 22 total series). 2 of the bls are ensemble casts (our skyy 2, only friends). so we can probably expect ~10 ql series next year.

as a general rule, it seems like gmmtv's main pairs will get a series every other year or so, although some popular pairings may be mains two years in a row.

they also seem to give lead roles to one or two new main pairings per year - usually pairs that have been floated as side couples in series that aired the year prior (e.g., milklove, perthchimon)

*please note that this is entirely speculation and i don't intend to start any wars in the notes. also: i will be talking about the pairs from an analytical/business perspective; if that makes you uncomfortable, i recommend you just keep scrolling*

bl predictions (in no particular order)

winny x satang series

rationale: given the success of their pairing in my school president and the many fanmeets/brand sponsorship events they've had together this year (including some solo events abroad), this is almost a guarantee. genre prediction: i'm guessing it will be a romcom with a bit of a darker/angstier edge to it, since winny and satang are great at the enemies to lovers trope and are talented dramatic actors.

2. pond x phuwin series

rationale: since fish upon the sky, these two have been a very popular pairing (particularly in thailand, it seems). along with joongdunk and geminifourth, they're part of the 'new gen' group that gmmtv has do a lot of fanmeets/brand sponsorship events (which means $$$ for gmmtv). their last series, never let me go, aired mostly in 2023 but was scheduled for 2022, so a 2024 series would be in keeping with the every-other-year rule. genre prediction: i think their next series will lean more towards the romcom end of the spectrum, given that never let me go was a lakorn and (regrettably, in my opinion) wasn't as popular as fish upon the sky.

3. gemini x fourth series

rationale: this is another no-brainer, really. this pair is so wildly popular that they're already having a solo concert together. both are very good actors (and performers) despite their young age. gmmtv would be stupid not to capitalize on their popularity and skill. genre prediction: probably still romcom, but with a little more "maturity" than my school president. they're young, but that hasn't ever stopped gmmtv from upping the intensity of the physical intimacy, in particular (e.g., phuwin was 19, about the same age as gemini and fourth, when never let me go was filmed).

4. first x khaotung series

rationale: though these two certainly aren't bound to the branded pair model, they excel when they act opposite to each other. the eclipse garnered a lot of popularity for them, and that's only going to grow after only friends. genre prediction: these two can carry heavy, emotional scenes and dark themes extremely well, so it'd be great to see them in a darker genre (the eclipse, while dealing with heavy topics, still had a lot of lighter romcom moments). personally, i'd love to see them lead a p'aof production, which might be likely since p'aof worked with (and was impressed with) the two of them on moonlight chicken. a period drama with these two would be super interesting.

5. neo x mark series

rationale: these two are the wildcard pairing in only friends and were originally the side couple in cooking crush (before they switched out mark due to overbooking him). this is consistent with gmmtv's tendency to float a couple in a series or two before giving them a series of their own. they're both in the same boat, having been relegated to the "funny side character" role for a while, but they have tremendous potential to do more, and gmmtv seems to recognize that now with their decision of casting them in only friends. genre prediction: hmm this one is tricky, since these two can do romcom and drama equally well. if i had to guess, they'll give neo and mark an "edgy"/"sexy" sereies because they're willing to go there and they can execute it well, which isn't necessarily true of all other gmmtv pairs.

6. force x book series

rationale: okay, i know i said gmmtv usually doesn't give pairs a main series two years in a row. but in forcebook's case, i think it's likely. for some reason that i don't personally understand, enchante didn't seem to resonate with a lot of people, but their popularity has skyrocketed since a boss and a babe and will only grow more when only friends airs. i think gmmtv will go with the momentum and give them another series in 2024. genre prediction: forcebook have done two romcoms already, so hopefully they'll get to branch out into another genre. personally, i think a mafia-type series led by these two would be really sick.

gl predictions (in no particular order)

gmmtv is testing the gl waters with milklove-led 23.5 this year. given the popularity of idol factory's gap the series (which surpassed 2gether's viewing stats by a wide margin), gmmtv will need to invest in the gl market in order to remain competitive. that's why i think there will be at least 2 gls in 2024, rather than just one.

view x june series

rationale: view and june will star in dangerous romance and 23.5 this year, indicating that gmmtv is looking to brand them or at least give them main roles in 2024. they're both talented actresses who have a lot of experience and can easily handle heavier material. it's just a matter of how well they're received as a pair in the series that air in 2023. genre prediction: we don't know what their dynamic will be like in their 2023 series, but i think a lakorn-style, enemies to lovers narrative would suit view and june well and give them a chance to showcase their great acting skills. a sci-fi series would also be really neat!

2. sizzy girl group series

rationale: this one might be more of a personal wish than a likely prediction, since gmmtv hardly gives sizzy the time of day. but! jan and aye have played queer characters before, and ciize has repeatedly expressed interest in doing a gl (even talking to jane about being paired together). they're all great actresses and performers (sizzy concert when??), so it really would be amazing if they got their own series. genre prediction: i'm feeling a rom-com for them. my personal dream is a series about a literal girl group of performers (like sizzy itself) so that there can be original music for each episode like in my school president. bonus points if nanon can guest star as their slaytastic manager (i'm never getting over their love score collab).

ensemble predictions (in no particular order)

given the growing number of branded and un-branded pairs within gmmtv, gmmtv will have to lean more into ensemble series (like only friends) in order to give everyone screen-time.

a light-hearted romcom (like our skyy 2)

rationale: this would be an opportunity to give airtime to any branded pairs that don't have their own series, or more work for popular pairs. a light-hearted romcom with a stacked ensemble cast would be a huge moneymaker for gmmtv with lots of fanmeet/concert opportunities (like my school president). cast predictions: we could see many members of the my school president gang (geminifourth, markford, potentially also aun and prom) here. this could also be a chance to float new gl pairings!

2. a more mature, jojo-style series (like only friends)

rationale: other production companies are ratcheting up the heat of their series; gmmtv will do so too in order to stay competitive. for better or for worse, sex sells, and like only friends, a series like this would attract a lot of attention and excitement on social media. cast predictions: this is where some of their older, more established pairs come into play. we could see jimmysea or offgun here. or even joongdunk or pondphuwin, since these two pairs are being pushed in the direction of higher heat. this could look like a mafia or gang-war style series, or maybe something with paranormal/horror themes.

bonus: things that probably won't happen but i would desperately like to see

namtan, tu, ploypach and/or prim gl (please i'm begging i would DIE; can you imagine a period piece with these four?? the costumes alone would have me on my knees)

joongdunk/pondphuwin vampire series (i don't care if it's cringe; did you see joongdunk's dumdum performance??)

breaking up branded pairs (imagine, for example, if joongdunk/pondphuwin switched partners; or winnysatang/markford; or jimmysea/forcebook)

fluke pusit main series (i mean, come on)

midnight museum season 2 khathadome canon (not brothers, please be serious)

okay, that's it. feel free to add your own predictions/wishlist. remember: these are just my own ideas and opinions! don't take anything i say too seriously haha

#i don't know why i made this post other than to get all of this out of my head haha #lemme know what you think #looking forward to coming back to this post in november and seeing how far off i am #gmmtv 2024 #gmmtv #gmmtv actors #predictions #long post

[absolutebl]

Hi ABL!! This is more of a data question then anything but it might not actually be answerable.

How does the world of BL define a successful show? Is it money made on ads revenue? Streams? Trending hashtags??

Granted in North American media I also couldn’t answer this question, but I could gage based on…article reviews or critical acclaim. Or something.

I see soooooo many people saying something flopped or was massively successful, but truly. How on earth are we making those benchmarks?

I figure you might have at least a tiny sliver of insight into how this works! Or at least a key word I can take to google LOL. Thanks as always!!!!!

Hum.

Well for GMMTV et al, it's YT views. So that's easy. We can see those eyeballs outright.

The streaming platforms obfuscate data (that is one of the reasons SAG is still on strike) but we can see things like where it's ranked on their internal leader boards (what's "popular on Viki" for example). How many reviews something has. How many collections and lists it's on. How many people on MDL have it listed as "currently watching"

More key is how much chatter a show is getting. How many comments. But also...

Literally when you do a Google search for that IP:

How are the hit returns?

How many top spots does it hold above the fold on Google main (using private or incognito mode).

Are people blogging about it? Think pieces?

Are there reaction vids?

FMVs?

Reddit chatter?

BTS's?

Interviews with actors?

The amount of fan content generated around an IP tells you a lot about the number of viewers - since it is all a numbers game. Commenters (those who visibly/trackably react to content) are more common than (content) creators. Ghosts (passive consumers) are more common than commenters.

There are those in EntDA working on formulas for predictive fan base numbers sourced in the ratios of these.

Lemme try to explain...

In other words, the fans who create content for IPs (fanfic, art, meta analysis, FMVs, etc...) are the rarest. Those who interact with the content, leave star reviews, comment on the above fan-made content, engage in discourse, leave YT comments, are the second rarest. Those who tend to do nothing more than ... well, ghost (maybe have a subscription, maybe save the vid to a playlist or on MDL, maybe read this on Tumblr but don't react to it). They are the largest contingent but hardest to track.

If we could get a good handle on the first 2, there's usually a predictable ratio that can be drawn for the fan base as a whole, the largest number 3 - ghosts.

For example:

For every 1 creator there are 100 commenters and 1000 ghosts. Something like that. However the nature of this ratio is dependent on venue and vocality of the fan base (often a generational thing). So like, most Kpop stans are vocal, but 4th gen stans tend to be more noisy online, even though 3rd gen groups tend to have bigger overall fan bases. (Superstars, like super hits, are non-viable non-predictive outliers. There can never be another KP, or 2g, and we can't use their numbers to predict anything. Just like Taylor Swift or BTS can't be used to predict/estimate the success of a new pop venture).

back to the BL fandom

Here on Tumblr you can tell what's popular by which ones are getting the most gifsets.

That's how we know Only Friends is out performing Dangerous Romance. (I mean I could check the numbers on YT but I don't really have to.)

Also, I bet you good money Kiseki is garnering more eyeballs than You Are Mine. Again, I can say that with confidence just based on the content that's being created for that IP in this one venue.

On a practical level, in the ET industry, if there is chatter about a BL outside of BL circles (as happened with KP) you know it's gotten HUGE (by BL standards).

The moral of this story, incidentally, is if you like a thing, doesn't matter how shy you are, if you want it to continue, get a second season, whatever, you gotta NOT JUST WATCH IT BUT TALK about it. Online, where careers are made and broken. Squeaky wheel and all that.

Entertainment is about attention. More money is always thrown at the thing getting the most attention.

Just like politics.

Okay, I done now.

#asked and answered #probably more than you wanted #ABL dusted off big data #in the end it's a numbers game #and we here us on tumblr we're some of those numbers #congratz you asked a question you're being tracked! #yay!

If Grunts saw flowers from the players world they’d freak out because what are those and why do they smell good and why are they so colorful

I think a lot of plants would garner that reaction. Especially since the only ones that actually remember the sunlight and how Nevada USED to look like would be the Gen 1's and early Gen 2's. Deimos would be the only one that would find everything new and enthralling while Hank is reminded of the world of before. Depending on who is looking at the foliage, they will either feel a sense of wonder or a sense of nostalgia. As for the sheer amount of flowers, you take these bois to a meadow or a flower shop and they stare for minutes at a time at all of the living plantlife. Sniffing, licking, probably eating all of them in curiosity. Trees of various types, bushes of all backgrounds, and the amount of times all the nature changes...the Player's world is fascinating and the grunts seem to find all of the life so alien compared to their own world. They like them for the most part... Until they run into poison ivy, oak, or thorny bushes. Then they understand that not ALL plant life is safe and fit for traveling through. Poor Deimos gets stuck with a bad rash after romping around through some poison oak. XD

Breaking the Fourth Wall – A gift fic in a special format

Fandom: Gravity Falls

Rating: G

Summary: Something sinister lurks for the girls and Pacifica, and Audrey steps up to face the threat.

Dedicated to @mercedesaria, for her love of a 90s-2000s sitcom.

Thanks to @bonpocalypse for giving an initial read and vetting through this story!

Notes: Audrey, who is more on the forefront here, makes her first appearance in Six and Seven, in which she bullied young Nilam until Great Grunkle Ford mediates the situation. Aria wrote a review saying how she was “very partial to that name”, given she writes a series featuring Audrey whom Jonathan (rather reluctantly) takes under his wing as a teacher-student. The two grow closer over time as the events unfold. Truthfully the name was taken from Pau’s next-gen comic which features a similar flashback of Cedric being bullied by a girl of the same name. Nevertheless, I decided to flesh out Audrey more, particularly in Episode IV: Death and the Maiden, and also in this gift fic.

For this work, I took a look over a few episodes of Boy Meets World, which is a sitcom Aria based her fanfiction series Autumn in Philadelphia from, and decided to write this story in a screenplay format. Canned laughter, recorded applause… those are something you can find from a 90s/2000s sitcom, while the sitcoms of the 50s were filmed before a live audience. Other inspirations also include DuckTales 2017 episode Quack Pack (although that's more of an 80s sitcom) and Wandavision.

I had an idea of the four friends doing a social studies project on the 90s/2000s and hence they reenacted a few scenes. The one they are reenacting at the beginning is from Boy Meets World Season 2 Episode 20 Pop Quiz, as the headmaster admonishes the two students for their appalling grades. Something unsettling happens, and it turns out to be a glitchy showman from Zoe’s video app that decides to take control of this show. I debated various ways on how to deal with him before deciding upon a game show. The scene featured at the end is transcribed right from Mercedes Aria’s Autumn in Philadelphia Trilogy – Squirrelly Funerals and Nutty Neighbors.

To Aria, you’re a dear friend, and I’d like to thank you for your incredible support and the valuable feedback you’ve provided on several of my writings. As of late, I had the opportunity to delve into your own stories, which are nothing short of extraordinary especially since I garner deeper insights from watching the show. I love how you integrate your OC into the canon – how Audrey becomes a mother figure for Shawn and is a close partner of Jonathan. It’s a pleasure to have you not only as a writing friend but also as someone whose work I admire wholeheartedly. I look forward to many more exchanges of creativity in the future.

I hope you'll enjoy this gift fic. And Happy New Year!

The Song beckoned him, it had done so in the past and he followed it, well acquainted with its ways, these had been small reminders, food, drink, bed, as if trying to keep him alive for as long as possible. He didn’t question the Song.

He’d always come back to the shores then, just strong enough to continue. And he’d walk  and walk  and walk

The Song he’d sing and the Song was within him carrying his words on the wind and through water. He didn’t question why.

And so, Maglor continued.

And he’d walk and walk and walk

At times he wasn’t truly... there. He didn’t feel quite the same when he Sang now. But if he dared to slip into numbness and just forget, the Light would be there again, shining onto him and reminding him who Maglor was and what he had done, that nothing he’d ever do would be enough to make up for it.

And he’d walk

Maglor followed the Song to a village in the Southlands. He’d camped a little way outside the village and observed it long enough to discover there was an elven settlement in those parts but with so many years of peace the keepers had dwindled to barely more than two, it made avoiding them much easier, the villagers didn’t like elves but it didn’t matter anyway, he always made sure to go undetected.

When the sun had risen he’d sung a little and garnered the money necessary for a meal as was his usual whenever he wanted more than a fish or nearby vegetation, that was, whenever he actually had food at all. He probably looked nothing like the prince he’d once been, maybe it was better that way.

He bit into his bread.

Whenever she closed her eyes it felt like she was back in that room, staring at Finrod’s corpse. She knew she had to move on and her body begged her to let it go, that the further she went the easiest it would be for her to crumble, Galadriel didn’t have to do this, it wasn’t her burden but she took it anyway, because no one else would otherwise.

Even if it meant watching as Gil-Galad and Elrond’s looks of concern turned to suspicion, because no talk of healing or memory of the blissfulness of Valinor and her childhood could help her now.

And so she’d walk.

Keep the path, keep the search, keep the fight.

And if it wasn’t enough for anyone else, if they truly believed that if she just sought the Valar’s forgiveness she’d be welcomed back, that she’d be healed, because leaving was all she had now, still she’d thread on.

She’d walk and she’d keep the anger.

Galadriel had left at night, as soon as she could gather her things, and left no letters, it didn’t matter if she was alone, if Gil-Galad was truly worried he’d have helped, he would’ve given her more than words trying to lead her to take the next ship, she didn’t care.

In her last search, she had received a new lead and she wasn’t about to give it up, the group of orcs spotted in the Southlands could be everything she was searching for, she’d take anything at this point.

When she arrived, several days later, with little rest in between, there were many things Galadriel had imagined to find in the Southlands.

Sauron had been the preferable choice but hardly a reasonable one, she knew as much. The orc commander leading the group she’d heard about and getting everything she needed from him had been the next best thing. And of course, getting rid of a group of orcs had always been a good idea regardless of whether it progressed her quest or not.

What she never would’ve thought was that she’d hear his voice.

Of course she’d remember his voice, Makalaurë had never been shy of hiding his voice, be it in their grandfather’s halls or in the battlefield, he’d long been defined by it, how could she ever forget.

But he was dead. Everyone said he was dead.

Jumped into the ocean, the last of the silmarils clutched in his hand so no one could have it.

Makalaurë was dead.

But when their eyes met, the reflected light they shared was impossible to hide especially with that ratty cloak he was wearing. So many emotions she saw on his face but she was too stunned to try and decipher them, she did, however, see him recoil. And she saw as he ran away.

In her stupefied state she didn’t even truly react, she noticed the small crowd that had gathered to listen was now dispersing with some curses thrown her way.

She ran.

The boiling anger resurfaced and she dedicated all of herself to the pursuit, the absolute gall he had, running away! Maglor clearly recognized her and knew what she’d do. And he thought he could just run away??

After all that he’d done...

She drove any thought away and continued, it may not be the evil she’d come to capture but it meant the mission in the Southlands had not been a waste, the last of the Fëanorions would be finally brought to justice.

She pursued her cousin to the edges of the town, Maglor didn’t seem interested in blocking her path, and all his efforts were placed on speed and avoiding objects, something she, in her armour, had more trouble doing. Yet, despite his head start Galadriel had overtaken him far easier than she thought.

And when she tackled him to the ground she realized why, she could feel her cousin’s bones stretched onto flimsy skin, gone were the muscles of a fighter, and when she turned his face around to look she saw how sunken his cheeks were. Maglor looked like was barely holding himself together!

“What happened to you?” she asked in horror, none of her previous, more important questions crossed her mind.

“Well, a she-elf, as beautiful as the last orc I fought, decided to throw her whole body weight on me right after lunch!”

Galadriel bashed his head on the ground.

“As nice as ever, Artanis!” he complained but couldn’t even do anything as his words had thrown her back to the moment and she remembered to tie his hands.

Only when she was sure he would not be able to do anything did she allow herself to get up and truly confront him.

“How are you alive?” she asked her most pressing question.

He stared at her befuddled “I’d have to have died in the first place for you to ask me that”

“Do you have any idea of the situation you are in? Or have you finally gone truly mad?” she spat out, her desire was to hit him again but she still needed to interrogate him “Answer my questions or you will regret it”

“Forgive me, Artanis” he answered with a saccharine smile and an overly flippant tone “I’m not in the habit of taking seriously the threats of toddlers!”

She paced the area, reminding herself that she needed him alive for punishment, before replying “It’s Galadriel and you know it”

“Ah, yes, right, Galadriel,” he shrugged, Galadriel made the mental note to tighten up the ropes and make it impossible, and in the same tone as before asked her “On that note, where’s good, ol’ Celeborn, I don’t see him with you, thought he might have wanted a cheap shot as well”

Galadriel’s insults died in her mouth and her body flinched, but she continued, it was better to focus on the task at hand than indulge Maglor’s stupidity.

“Is Maedhros alive as well?” she asked and he looked away, the smile finally falling from his face, Galadriel rejoiced that at least something seemed to affect this strange new version of her cousin.

“Only if you believe one of us could survive falling into a fiery chasm”

“What have you done with the silmarils?”

He gave her a scathing smile and his tone turned back to insolent “Nelyo had his when he died and I threw mine into the sea and have been wandering the shores ever since, of course!”

She violently grabbed him by the hair “TELL ME THE TRUTH!”

“Oh my, little Artanis doesn’t believe me, why might that be?” he had the audacity to laugh at that.

And watching him bend from the weight of his own laughter, fey and deranged, Galadriel decide that questioning Maglor would bring her nowhere, he deserved any horror the Valar deigned to inflict upon him. There barely was any of the cousin she had known in that body anymore.

She tied him to her horse and made sure to ignore any word he said, be it a mumbling, a string of mockery towards her, or all of his strange new songs. The port city they arrived in was nothing like the Grey Heavens and its boats could not compare to Cirdan’s ships, but for her plans that would be all they would need.

Maglor stared at her as she got the boat ready, Galadriel had never felt unsettled by him before, although she had often felt a sense of desolation she had not been able to place until the end of the first age, at that moment, however, with this Maglor that was no more than a stranger, her inability to understand him unnerved her.

“So,” he finally said, his tone neutral “you have truly decided?”

“Yes,” she answered, avoiding looking at him “I’m taking you to Valinor and to the justice of the Valar”

He hummed and nodded.

Maglor looked at the sun setting, he wasn’t singing but music followed him anyway, he seemed to take one last deep breath of Middle-Earth before sitting near the edge, his still bound hands hugging his legs. They started moving, his eyes stared at the deck unseeing and he started quietly singing again.

After about an hour of that, Galadriel snapped “Is that all you can do now?!”

He turned his head to the side, looking at her unblinking “Mostly”

That made her pause, unlike any previous remark, this one seemed to be actually genuine and it made her re-evaluate what he’d said before.

“Maglor?” she asked slowly “Where have you been, truly, all this time?”

He smiled and any semblance of truth disappeared from him “You don’t seem to trust me very much, I’m rather short on answers that would satisfy the great Galadriel, which one would she prefer,” he continued enthusiastically “that I have been secretly plotting to destroy all the remaining Eldar? Or that I have been begging forgiveness to the stars of Varda?”

“What I know is that you are still impossible to deal with.” she growled and decided to leave him to his own devices, let him deal with his broken mind, she refused to care further.

“Aww! Thanks! I’m flattered!” he told her, she pretended not to hear it.

Silence filled the space once more, the stars were twinkling reflected on the sea and Galadriel stared ahead for sight of Valinor even if she knew it wouldn’t be for a while.

“What exactly is your plan for when we get there anyway?” Maglor spoke so suddenly that Galadriel didn’t even ignore him.

“I will tie you up the emergency raft and leave you to float down the rest of the way by courtesy of Ulmo” she gave him a mocking smile this time.

“Not your best plan,” he remarked but she said nothing, she knew that what she was doing had been impulsive but it had to be done, still he stared at her “I didn’t know you were a soldier now”

“When the host of Valinor arrived I refused to stand aside any longer” It wasn’t a question but she answered anyway, remembering the moment she became a commander “Everyone was dead then, my father was there and all I could think was that I was about to lose him too. And in the end, he had to leave anyway.”

She glared at Maglor “And the family I had left was too busy destroying everything they fought for, I was alone”

Maglor pulled up the cowl of his ratty cloak “Oh? You’re telling me we are family after you disappeared into Doriath?”

“After you killed my people!”

He was staring up at her with another sardonic smile, the shadows from the cowl making his eyes appear brighter in the darkness, and when he spoke, his voice held a shade of power.

“Are you threatening me with a dagger, Artanis?”

Every move or line of dialogue he did seemed devised to anger her, leading to their current predicament of Galadriel pointing her brother’s dagger at Maglor’s throat. Even the implicit accusation was maddening.

He couldn’t possibly believe their situations were in any way similar, that she was anything like him.

“Do you truly know what you’re doing, Galadriel?”

She wanted to answer, she was going to answer; when they were distracted by the call of a bird and their first sight of the blessed realm they were born into so long ago.

And it was beautiful.

From where she was standing she could see the white shores of her memory, of her days playing at the beach with her mother, her father braiding her hair so that it wouldn’t tangle in the water, and Angrod and Aegnor teasing her for getting it dirty anyway. Finrod had been there, laughing along but still helping her remove the algae stuck on her head.

Had her brother’s all been re-embodied yet? Would Celeborn be there?

If she just let the ship reach the harbour, would she be able to see them? They would be so surprised, no notice had reached them and yet there she was.

Would her mother still welcome her even after she left despite what had been done to the Teleri?

Her head swirled with possibilities and she felt a tear fall, Valinor was so close she could touch it.

“Galadriel?”

She turned the ship around.

Maglor hit the railings hard, Galadriel was only mildly conscious of that fact, hearing his groans of pain like distant noise as she put distance between them and the undying lands. She heard as he called her name but she couldn’t answer, it felt like her throat had closed and her body rushed to escape.

Dark clouds were beginning to close the sky, keeping the light of the stars away from them, the darkness was a heavy contrast to her memories of Aman but with the wind picking up it didn’t matter.

“Galadriel!”

She rushed from one part of the ship to another as the rain began to fall, she threw her armour to the ground so she could run better, Galadriel didn’t even know if Maglor was still there, he could’ve fallen in the water and be drowning right at moment and she wouldn’t know.

It quickly became evident that they were about to be caught in a storm, the rain felt like punches on her skin and the wind brought the sea upon them. Galadriel screamed when the ship lurched to the side and only her hard acquired quick reflexes kept her from seeing Ulmo’s realm.

The tempest raged, threatening to turn the ship and its passengers into the sea’s newest relics. Galadriel was holding on for dear life to some rope when she heard it.

When she heard his voice.

Maglor stood then on the prow by the figurehead, his voice drowning out the howling of the wind and cutting through the waves, after so many years it was easy to forget how powerful Makalaurë’s voice truly was. But the important thing was that it was working.

Her voice joined her cousin for the first time since before the destruction of the two trees, she may not have the natural inclination for Song as Makalaurë and Findaràto had but she could make up for it with Power.

Singing in unison the ship evened and the unforgiving sea didn’t touch them, even the wind seemed to vanish. In that moment Galadriel truly believed they could weather out the storm, perhaps it was that vanity that changed everything.

In the middle of that tempest, light shone upon them.

Maglor paled and screeched, the Song was broken and a wave hit them, causing the mast to break.

“Maglor!”

Watching as her cousin covered his head and thrashed around the breaking ship, shaking violently, evading the light of Gil-Estel.

“Maglor! Please!” she screamed at him, forced to hold on desperately to the railing, she tried to sing but even her words froze in the cold storm “Please! I can’t do this alone!”

But Maglor didn’t respond, still convulsing and begging the stars.

“MAGLOR!”

A wave enshrouded them.

1 2 & 3 for the G3 Ask game ^^

1. How did you feel about G3 when it was first announced/rolled out vs. now?

Oo so I’ve been a fan of Monster High since the 2010s, and i remember seeing hints at Monster High returning on their Instagram. My friends and I were really excited, and when the Nickelodeon billboard was released last year, I remember being super stoked! Not a ton could be garnered from it, but I remember seeing Frankie’s prosthetic, for example, and being like “woah, that’s such a cool detail!! Disabled Frankie canon??” And seeing the leaks just made me all the more excited for the show. I still remember watching Food Fight 15 million times JDJDJ I just couldn’t believe it had returned. It was so different, but it was never anything I struggled to adjust to. I embraced it. Now, I love it just as much, if not more. But it’s so weird, cause with the earlier episodes, I have this very particular feeling watching them (almost like nostalgia, but I feel like it’s too recent to call it that JDJD), and it brings me back to fall 2022 when I first watched the episodes. The first episodes hit different in that regard, but I also love the new ones!

2. Which G3 character (new or rebooted) is your favorite?

Hmm… take an educated guess /lh :/ JDJDJ OF COURSE IT’S FRANKIE 💙⚡️ I just love their energy and humor! And the fact that they’re the first canon (technically), out and proud queer character made me love them even more! My top three favorites this gen would have to be Frankie, Cleo, and Deuce (with Cleo and Deuce being in no particular order). And this doesn’t even have to do with any dating/relationship dynamics (even though clankie is adorable). They’re just so wonderful, and I love the changes made to their characters this generation. Oh also, Heath is hilarious! He was one of my favorites in G1 (and in this gen). Even though a lot of people didn't like him in G1, I thought he was an icon (even if he was kind of a dick sometimes HSJS)

3. Which G3 doll is your favorite?

Ooo this is hard. The amped up Frankie sounds so cool!! They look awesome!! But I’m also a sucker for the core Frankie. And any of the Monster Ball dolls are wonderful! I adore Clawdeen’s suit! If we’re talking about dolls that I own, i really love my core Frankie <3 I’m not really a doll collector, so I only have core Frankie, monster ball Cleo, and the original skulltimate secrets Frankie (the last two being birthday presents). Core Frankie was my first doll that I snatched from Target the moment I found them hehe >:) I’ve owned them the longest, and idk, I just love them! They’re my most loved doll

Have you listened to Ay-Yo or the other new singles part of NCT 127’s repackaged album? I always enjoy diving into your perspective on groups artistic vision! I never really gave them much time but was sucked into their recent music (I think it’s because of Dem Jointz and Kenzie who helped produce some of the album??). The AY MV wasn’t as flashy as 2 Baddies but I do love a cunt moment and Taeyong delivered for me. I am now so curious about NCT!! You’ve mentioned before that they’re one of the backbones of 4th gen. What do you think it is about the group that has established them beyond others? I appreciate that the songs are experimental and unafraid. The music videos always feel like being sucked into an intense video game and I am here for it lol. Thanks for running such a thoughtful blog btw! Most times I feel like I’m in a little island with too many thoughts but it’s always a fun time checking out your posts.

yes! i love ay yo and the new songs on the repack! skyscraper is my fave of the three but i also really dig dj. dem jointz has actually produced quite a few of 127's title tracks, including cherry bomb, punch, kick it, sticker, and some bsides like right now, time lapse, designer, and nct dream's arcade! kenzie has also done a few 127 tracks including limitless, favourite, and several of my all time fave nct songs ok! and music dance.

sm obvs has big three privilege and for a reason, they have a really long history as one of the founding pillars of the industry since they pretty much invented it. bc of the company's status and their consistency with training their idols + the legacy of the popularity of their groups + the quality of their music, any new group that sm debuts automatically garners a lot of attention, both from the gp and from others in the industry. because of that, they tend to be imitated just by nature of having that much publicity, but nct made a splash with weird choreo and ''noise'' music. the seventh sense was a very unusual debut and no one's managed to level up to it since, even if nct wasn't exactly doing anything that new for the era they debuted in. they're spiritually continuing f(x)'s musical legacy, and the weird choreo + acrobatics of late third gen you can see in other groups that debuted in 2016, like knk and sf9. it's just that they had the higher visibility and outlasted a lot of other groups, so the combination of all those factors is what solidified them as being a significant influence on the subsequent generations.

#sm groups are never TOTALLY new. theyre almost always building on a concept taken from another gen and pointing in a different direction #which is how you should build a group tbh #nct is very strange as a kpop group and profoundly underutilized but even the thing theyre known for (units) isnt even unique to them lol #lsm is so desperately chasing after the jpop mega group model even though it very dramatically failed with suju and exo #bc kpop fans are not receptive to altering established group structures #the fact that nobody's left nct yet is a MIRACLE when you look at how how their predecessors fared #but the basis of their success has to do with being from sm specifically #plus theyre all very well trained musicians (not as in playing instruments as in understanding music) #also all the typical things like: good music good concepts and theyre good performers etc etc #and theyve kind of become the epitome of 'good artists pulling off insane/''bad'' music/concepts bc of their skills' #id recommend watching their dingo killing voice bc you can see them absolutely wipe the fucking floor #actually there's also a drunk version of designer that they did and where the rapline totally forgets their verses #(even though they have lyrics in front of them) #i have a TONNE of nct playlists if you want recs they have a huge catalogue and it's so good #kpop questions #nct #nct w #text #answers #the tldr of this is nct is the backbone of 4th gen bc sm knows how to build a group

[n0rtist]

I’m drawing out the box legendaries of each generation before I draw out my own for my fakemon region. Here are gen 3′s Groudon and Kyogre.

Much like gen 2′s duo, I found drawing one much harder than the other as Groudon has all these patterns running down their back compared to the rather smooth Kyogre. In fact, I feel like there is a particular difference between these two designs that makes them appeal to different tastes: the Bouba/Kiki Effect. Now, that effect deals with how languages associate some sounds to some shapes, but I want to garner attention towards the shapes themselves as a sharp spiky shape elicits a different feeling to a round, smoother one. The spikes on Groudon and the resting angry face contrast to Kyogre’s smooth body which I can, once again, see myself skateboarding on (I still cannot skateboard that well). I always felt that this range in the franchise’s designs lead to the franchise’s large success as there is a mon for everyone. This is one of my favorite duos out of the box legendaries, and while I didn’t appreciate all the patterns, I do want to incorporate this contrast of sharp and smooth into my own designs.

[ ! ] AXIS’ Leader and Ex-Wanna One member Nathan dies suddenly at 25

June 22nd, 2022

AXIS’ Nathan Jeon has been found dead in the alley outside of his home at the young age of 25. 

According to Yonhap News, at roughly 7am on June 22nd, Nathan was found barely alive by one of his neighbors in the apartment complex he lives in in the alley right next to their building. The neighbor quickly called medical services but the idol had already passed by the time help arrived. 

Police are ruling the case as a homicide after coming to the conclusion that Nathan had been robbed and attacked in the alley, with the cause of death being multiple blunt force trauma to the head. 

Nathan was a popular trainee from Pledis Entertainment on mnet survival show Produce 101 Season 2, finishing the show with the 2nd place rank and debuting in the global phenomenon boy group Wanna One. After the disbandment of Wanna One, Nathan returned to Pledis and later debuted in boy group AXIS in 2019 as their leader. AXIS quickly became on of the top leaders of the 4th gen, being a completely self-producing group that constantly dominated charts. 

Being the older brother to two famous younger sisters, Nathan was a household name in his own right but was able to garner more attention in his career because of his siters. His first sister is the leader of Angelico girl group Sugar n’ Spice, Piper Jeon, and his youngest sister is Lily Jeon, a popular actress and singer in America.

[ ! ] SNS cancels Jakarta show and announces Piper will not be participating in the Delhi show following the passing of her brother. 

June 22nd, 2022

Almost three hours ago, the news of the tragic passing of AXIS’ Nathan hit headlines, causing a flood of condolences and memorial posts all over social media from fans and kpop idols alike. A memorial was quickly set up outside of Pledis Entertainment and has already been visited by thousands of people, as well as a small memorial that was set up by fans outside of Angelico Entertainment in sympathy with Nathan’s sister, Sugar n’ Spice’s Piper. 

Following the sudden news and memorial being set up, Angelico Entertainment has released a statement announcing that SNS will be cancelling their world tour show in Jakarta tonight to give the members time to process and grieve the loss of someone close to them. Alongside that announcement, Angelico also stated that leader Piper has flown back to Korea and will not be participating in SNS’ next tour stop in Delhi on the 24th. 

Fans of both AXIS and SNS are very aware of how much love Piper holds for her older brother and are devasted to know that the young girl has to go another tragic lose only four years after losing her mother back in 2018. The idols’ younger sister Lily Jeon was reportedly already in Korea on a vacation when everything happened, the actress being seen picking up Piper from the Incheon International Airport within the past hour. 

Many other idols, group, actors, etc have already begun to cancel their public schedules for the day, with Pledis Entertainment announcing that a public memorial service will be held tomorrow and that a private family funeral for Nathan will be held at a later undisclosed date.

Each planet on Snapchat Plus is distinguished by its pictorial characteristics adorned with hearts. For instance, being assigned the Mercury planet signifies that you hold a special place as the closest friend in someone’s circle.

If you’re a Snapchat user, you’ve likely noticed the existence of two friend lists: “Friends” and “The Best Friend.” The contacts listed in the “Best Friend” category are considered the dearest and most cherished among your Snapchat friends.

Snapchat Planets – Best Friends Solar System Order and Meanings

In the Snapchat friend solar system, each planet aligns with a specific position on your Best Friends list, mirroring the order of planets in our actual solar system. As the sun of your Snapchat friend’s solar system, the assignment follows the sequence from Mercury, representing the friend with whom you share the most snaps and chats, to Venus, the second closest, and so forth, until Neptune, who holds the eighth position as your best friend.

How Does Snapchat’s Friend Solar System Work?

To find out your position in your friend’s Snapchat universe, start by subscribing to Snapchat Plus. Once subscribed, check your friend’s profile for a badge with a gold outline—it’ll say either “Best Friends” or “Friends.” A Best Friends badge means you’re in each other’s top eight, while a Friends badge means you’re in their top eight, but they’re not in yours.

Tap on either badge to reveal your friendship position in the Friend Solar System. Snapchat makes it fun by representing closeness with planets, each indicating a different rank in their best friends list. For instance, if you’re Jupiter in their Snapchat solar system, you’re their fifth closest friend.

How to check which planet you are:

Open your friend’s profile on Snapchat.

Locate and tap the Best Friends badge to see which planet represents your position.

That’s it! This is how Snapchat’s friend’s solar system works. Just remember, you need to be a Snapchat Plus subscriber to access this feature.

While the Snapchat Planet Order may not align with everyone’s expectations, it’s important to note that this is how the Planet Order is designed by Snapchat. On Snapchat, the ranking of best friends is determined by the level of interaction you have with them. The user you exchange the most snaps and chats with over consecutive weeks becomes your best friend on Snapchat and is designated the Mercury.

How the Biofuel Industry is Embracing ESG Principles

Stakeholders are counting on environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals to decarbonize the supply chain of the biofuel industry. The global push to replace fossil fuels with biofuels has sparked innovations and prompted industry players to invest in renewable feedstock. Sustainable solutions will warrant infrastructure developments, demand signals and sound corporate governance. Energy companies will likely consider ESG risks and opportunities for a low-carbon economy.

The need for clean energy has spurred the penetration of renewable sources. According to an IEA report, in the net zero scenario, biofuel produced from residues, wastes and dedicated crops that do not compete with food crops account for 50% of the biofuels consumed in 2030. Moreover, biofuels can prevent 4.4% of global road transport oil use. 

Businesses are responding to the need for low-carbon fuels to help decarbonize the automotive, transport, marine and aviation sectors. For instance, Raízen produced approximately 3 billion liters of ethanol from sugar cane, while around 26 million liters of second-gen cellulosic ethanol from inedible agricultural waste in 2022. Besides, during the same period, Shell inked a non-binding MoU with Lufthansa to supply sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to help reduce carbon emissions from air travel. 

All that glitter is not gold. Green campaigners claim that biofuels could disrupt land use patterns that may lead to increased GHG emissions, air and water pollution and pressure on water resources, thereby augmenting food prices. According to Transport & Environment, palm biodiesel is three times worse for the climate than fossil fuel. Besides, the watchdog claimed that every day around 19 million bottles of rapeseed and sunflower oil, and 14 million bottles of soy and palm oil are burned across Europe. Amidst the flak received from governing bodies, forward-looking companies and innovators are expected to bolster their ESG profile to enhance their brand values. 

Valero Energy Emphasizes Reducing Scope 1 and 2 Emissions

Sustainable fuels have become paramount in contributing to the energy transition and a decarbonized economy. Forward-looking companies, such as Valero, have bolstered their emission targets and are gearing up to propel a low-carbon economy. The company has injected over USD 4.65 billion into low-carbon fuels business. In 2021, it allocated over 70% of the growth capital to low-carbon projects. Furthermore, the U.S.-based company is on course to minimize and displace 100% of refinery Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2035. 

The petroleum refinery is expected to augment the total annual capacity of the new renewable diesel plant to 1.2 billion gallons and 50 million gallons of renewable naphtha. Similar to Shell, Valero has spurred emphasis on sustainable aviation fuel: it is assessing the engineering capability to include SAF in the new renewable diesel facility in Port Arthur. Renewable fuel and SAF could be game changer to undergird the ESG profile and create long-term value for stockholders.

Diversity and Equity Garner Headlines in Bunge Limited

Mental well-being and diversity, to name a few, have become the bedrock for organizations to propel their ESG rankings. With shifting trends, training, diversity, equity and inclusion have amassed huge attention across business verticals. In 2021, Bunge offered its employees over 87,000 hours of training, while over 60 participants were in targeted female development programs. The company infers that around 44% of all new hires across the organization were women. 

Bunge Employee Resource Group has furthered its focus on community building and awareness initiatives, including Proud & Allied, Women @Bunge, Veterans, Bunge Global Black Network and Asian Professionals. Besides, the U.S-headquartered company also established a “Together We Grow” consortium—a coalition (public-private) between food companies, agriculture, the USDA, nonprofits and universities—to address diversity and inclusion within the food and agriculture sectors in the U.S. Brands will potentially put their energy into building an organization that complements diversity and fair representation at every level.

Commitment to Ethics & Compliance Paves Way for Petrobras

A governance model that fosters transparency, ethics, compliance and integrity has become instrumental in fostering ESG practices. Petrobras has formed an Ethics Commission to oversee compliance with the Code of Conduct of the Federal Senior Management (CCAF). It also supervises the Compliance Program through the Statutory Audit Committee with the support of the Senior Management. 

Compliance risk management has gained ground to monitor, define, control and report actions as a riposte to the risks and prioritize money laundering, fraud & corruption, harassment, antitrust, conflict of interest, trade sanctions and embargoes. The organization asserts it has an independent board for the compliance program. Robust history of good governance and manufacturing biofuel ethically will enable companies to bring ESG solutions to farmers and customers. 

The competitive nature of the industry indicates sustainable sourcing of products and the role of biofuels across business verticals will steer the growth trajectory. Governments exhibited resilience amidst havoc wracked by the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2022, the USDA announced pouring USD 700 million to restore sustainable fuel markets grappling with the outbreak. Besides, the Wall Street Journal was reported to have mentioned that Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) would receive USD 50 million in U.S. aid to tone down losses during the pandemic. These ESG trends validate Grand View Research’s projected CAGR of the global biofuel market at 6.9% between 2019 and 2024.
